NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 290 Breaking News!Wang Chao is leaving the Rockets!

(Wanzi Dazhang, I have been waiting for a long time.)
"The Rockets defeated the Cavaliers 4:2 and won the O'Brien Cup for the third consecutive year, becoming the fifth team in NBA history to achieve three consecutive championships and create a dynasty. The Boston Celtics, the Bulls, the Lakers and the Magic, this is also Wang Chao's second dynasty team after the Magic's three consecutive championships."

"Beyond the legend! The finals averaged 32.4 points, 11 rebounds and 10.5 assists. Wang Chao was unanimously selected as FMVP, seven crowns, six FMVPs and five MVPs. Wang Chao surpassed Jordan in top honors and became the strongest in league history! What's more terrifying is that Jordan He was 35 years old when he won the sixth championship in his career, and Wang Chao was only 32 years old when he won the seventh championship. He still has about 3 years to peak and can maintain an excellent competitive state within 5 years. Does Wang Chao have a chance to make an impact? Bill Russell's NBA record of 11 crowns?"

"Can the Rockets continue to be brilliant? After the season, team leader Dayao and veteran Ray Allen officially announced their retirement. The contracts of many players on the team expired. Do you want to keep the champion team and continue to attack the championship?"
-
There are many chain reactions triggered by the Rockets' championship.

First of all, the Rockets have undoubtedly become the thorn in the side of the entire league by being able to achieve the three consecutive championships. In fact, during the finals, the referee’s bias and the votes of major websites and TV stations showed that it is hoped that the Cavaliers can break the Rockets. The majority of the team has a monopoly on the championship.

After the free market opens in July, those teams with salary space in the league will definitely poach all the Rockets players whose contracts have expired at all costs, and completely dismember this dynastic aircraft carrier.

Of course, the Rockets management is also aware of this. Their most important task in the near future is to finalize the renewal of the players, and they have prioritized the renewal according to the strength and potential of the players.

Wang Chao, who has just surpassed Jordan to become No. 7 in league history with 1 championships, is undoubtedly the team's primary goal for contract renewal.

Although Wang Chao's contract should not officially expire until 2016, in the summer of 2015, Wang Chao had player options, and he could choose to jump out of the contract and re-sign a larger contract at any time.

The general manager of the Rockets had tested the attitude of Wang Chao's agent, Bill Duffy, but failed to obtain some effective information from the other party.

Under Wang Chao are the team's two main players this season, Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler.

Both were first-round picks in 2011. After the end of their four-year rookie season contracts, they officially became free agents. Although they are restricted free agents, the Rockets have the ability to match the contracts offered by any team for the two, and they are forced to stay. Two people's rights, but if you want to do that, you must provide them with a maximum salary contract. Together, the annual salary will start at 3000 million.

The Rockets management is inclined to keep Leonard and Butler at all costs. The current strength and potential of the two are at the top level. They are definitely Wang Chao's right-hand men. As long as these three They all stay with the Rockets, and the team will still be the biggest favorite to win the championship in the next few years.

Just leaving three people is enough to explode the Rockets' salary space. After all, Wang Chao's annual salary is close to 2500 million, and Leonard and Butler have a total of 3000 million. These three alone occupy 5500 million in salary space.

In the 2015-16 season, the NBA salary cap is about to usher in a skyrocketing increase, but it is only from 6300 million this season to 7000 million.

The contract extensions of Wang Chao Leonard and Butler alone will occupy nearly 80% of the Rockets' salary space!
And even so, the Rockets are not yet sure that they can keep Leonard and Butler at the same time.

This is also the reason why the number of dynasty teams in the NBA is so rare. To ensure the competitiveness of winning the championship, it is necessary to have a sufficiently luxurious lineup. In the history of the NBA, there is almost no single-core winning team, even in the 10-11 season. The Dallas Mavericks, it seems that Nowitzki won the championship with a single core, but in fact the Mavericks have an extremely luxurious team of role players, but they are not well-known. The total salary of the winning season is 8541 million, ranking third in the league.

Under Leonard and Butler, there are two players whose contracts have expired, namely the 12-year rookie Khris Middleton and the 10-year rookie Hassan Whiteside.

Although the strength and potential of these two players are not as good as Leonard and Butler, they are also impressive players.

After Chandler Parsons left the team, Middleton was promoted to the starting position by Wang Chao from the bench. Although his position on the court was completely a spot-up shooter, and he shot when he caught the ball, Middleton's three-pointer The hit rate can reach 40% stably, and with the standard small forward height of 2 meters, he also has the potential to become an All-Star player.

As for Whiteside's performance this season, it is even more amazing.

With the blessing of Wang Chao's training potion, Huaishen has made rapid progress in the past two years and has reached the level of his peak career. Although limited by playing time, he averaged only 8 points and 8 rebounds per game. His defensive ability is enough to make many teams feel excited about him.

For the above four players, the Rockets management estimates that they can all get tens of millions of contracts. It is certainly impossible to keep all of them. Therefore, Middleton and Whiteside can only be assigned to the third priority level of contract renewal. .

"call--!"

Rubbing between his brows, the general manager of the Rockets heaved a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile wryly.

This job is really hard to do.

In the past few years, his general manager has existed in name only, because all the power is concentrated on Wang Chao. Whether it is player changes, contract renewal issues or the draft, Wang Chao has to make decisions. He is only responsible for signing a tool for authorization and implementation. people.

He himself was temporarily promoted to the position of general manager, and he was not dissatisfied with it. He was even complacent about winning two best manager awards for nothing.

But now he understands what it means to conquer the country is easy, but defending the country is difficult.

"Jingle Bell……"

Just then, the office phone rang.

The general manager of the Rockets picked up the phone, and the expression on his face changed the next moment, and he jumped up from his seat.

"What did you say? Wang Chao announced that he would jump out of the contract, and publicly declared in front of the media that he would not sign with the Rockets? Are you kidding me?"

He was completely dumbfounded, what happened?
The general manager of the Rockets hastily turned on the computer in front of the desk to search for related keywords.

Then he saw a few minutes of interview video about Wang Chao.

In the front of the video, the reporter asked Wang Chao how he felt after winning the championship and whether he thought he had surpassed Jordan to become No.1 in NBA history.

Wang Chao's answers to these questions are no longer relevant, and the general manager accelerated the video to fast-forward.

"Now that the Rockets have won three consecutive championships, will you continue to lead the Rockets to win the championship and challenge Bill Russell's eight consecutive championships and eleven championships? This summer, the contracts of many players on the Rockets will expire. Who do you think the Rockets should keep as a priority to keep the team competitive?"

When asked this question, Wang Chao obviously hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, but finally said: "My career in the Rockets is coming to an end. After this season, I will choose Jump out of the team, join a different team, will not choose to continue to re-sign with the Rockets."

When Wang Chao said this, his expression was downplaying, as if he was discussing everyday things.

The beautiful reporter in charge of the interview didn't react for a while, and when she realized how explosive news Wang Chao had just said, even the hand holding the microphone trembled a little.

"Mr. Wang Chao, what did you just say? You are going to jump out of the contract this summer and will not continue to renew the contract with the Rockets? Why? Do you have conflicts with the team?"

A series of questions came out of the beautiful reporter's mouth like a cannonball.

Wang Chao had expected this reaction a long time ago, with his expression still calm, he shook his head and said. "I remember I said a long time ago that when I joined the Rockets, I simply wanted to win the NBA championship with Dayao."

"Now, the Rockets have achieved three consecutive championships, and Dayao is about to retire. My goals have been fulfilled, and the meaning of staying here no longer exists."

"But the Rockets have the most reasonable and luxurious team. Even if Dayao retires, as long as they can renew their contracts and retain most of the players whose contracts have expired, the team will still be the biggest favorite to win the championship!"

The beautiful reporter said puzzledly.

Wang Chao smiled. He shook his head slightly and said, "You have to make it clear that the Rockets are not the Dynasty team, but because I came here, so it became the Dynasty team."

Beautiful reporter: "..."

Although Wang Chao's words were extremely pretentious, it was an indisputable fact.

Without Wang Chao joining, the Rockets, let alone the championship or even three consecutive championships, even the floor of the Western Conference Finals would be out of reach for them.

Before Wang Chao came to the Rockets, he was already the creator of the three consecutive championships.

Therefore, Wang Chao said that the Rockets' three consecutive championships are entirely due to him, and there is nothing wrong with this.

In the four years of the Rockets, Wang Chao has won three MVPs, three championships, and three FMVPs, and officially surpassed Jordan to become No.1 in league history. He is fully qualified to say this.

But even so, Wang Chao's motivation for leaving the Rockets is still unclear. After all, as long as he stays in the Rockets, he can further accumulate honors and make his historical No.1 position more stable.

After all, even with 7 crowns in hand, many fans still don't recognize Wang Chao, who is the No.1 in history.

After all, it doesn't matter how many black people there are, as long as you don't recognize you, white people can be called black.

Now many people’s arguments have turned into the water problem of Wang Chao’s two and three consecutive championships, because Wang Chao’s two dynasties were won by partnering with the league’s top center. Howard was in the Magic team, and the Rockets were also big players. Yao, this is very similar to the three-peat period of the Lakers OK combination.

In contrast, Jordan won two three-peat championships in the 90s when the inside center was paramount, and he only had Pippen, who was also an outside player, far better than Wang Chao's three-peat championship.

After all, in this league where the insiders win the world, whether Wang Chao was in the Magic or the Rockets, his inside strength is at the top level in the league.

Fans who are a little more sober and rational will know that Howard and Dayao are really the number one centers in the league?
Let’s talk about Howard first. After leaving Wang Chao, everyone has seen how he performed in the Lakers and Spurs. In fact, even during the three consecutive championships of the Magic, Howard was only a super blue-collar, and the team’s tactics were not around him at all. conduct.

As for Dayao, when Wang Chao joined the Rockets, Dayao had already passed his peak period. Although he had a dominance comparable to O'Neal in this league where the center was withering day by day, his output was limited due to injuries and physical problems. , is not the key factor for the team's victory.

Heizi can't calmly analyze these things. Anyway, Wang Chao's two three-peat championships are not as high as Danzi's gold content. If he wants to surpass Jordan by relying on two leg-holding dynasties and a soy sauce championship, there is no way.

But if Wang Chao can continue to win the championship after Dayao retires, winning the eighth championship, ninth championship or even ten championships, no matter how black he is, it will be meaningless.

Therefore, the beautiful reporter couldn't figure it out. Wouldn't it be good to continue to compete for the championship with the Rockets' basic set of winning?Why did Wang Chao choose to leave the Rockets?
Then she heard such a reply from Wang Chao.

"In order to continue to prove, wherever I go, whichever team can win the championship." Wang Chao said calmly, his tone full of confidence in his own strength.

"The strength of the Rockets is too strong now. Winning is no longer a challenge for me. This is actually quite boring, so I want to increase the difficulty of the game for myself. Next, I will join a team in history. A team that never won a championship, help them win their first championship in team history, and after winning the championship, I will leave that team and join another team that did not win the championship, and so on..."

"I'm still curious, when I retire from the league, how many teams can bring NBA championships."

In front of the TV, the general manager of the Rockets opened his mouth in an "O" shape.

Wang Chao, what are you talking about?
This is too TM arrogant! ! !

These words were so dramatic that at this moment he couldn't tell whether Wang Chao was joking or serious.

But judging from various news on the Internet at this time, this matter is likely to be true!

"Jingle bell bell..."

The phone rang again, and the general manager of the Rockets answered the phone.

"Hey, boss... Yes, I know. I will immediately contact Wang Chao and his manager, Bill Duffy, to keep him as much as possible."
-
Wang Chao is about to jump out of the contract and leave the Rockets. This news is like a virus. In a very short period of time, it quickly covered the news that the Rockets won three consecutive championships and created a dynasty, becoming the hottest news in the league.

When they heard the news that Wang Chao was leaving, almost all the teams breathed a sigh of relief, especially those favorites to win the championship.

After all, the Rockets without Wang Chao, even if they can keep all the other players who have won the championship, they are not a championship-level team. Will have a chance to win the championship.

As for Wang Chao's words that he wants to join a weak team and help him win the first championship in team history, in most people's eyes, they are just wild words when Wang Chao is already in high spirits after winning the championship.

Wang Chao is very strong, especially in the past three seasons, the performance of averaging a large triple-double per game can be described as unprecedented, and I am afraid that there will be few comers in the future.

But even so, Wang Chao is not really invincible.

He was able to win the championship in the Magic, and he had a double first team plus DPOY partner Warcraft Howard, and during the Rockets' three consecutive championships, he had more helpers, such as Dayao, Garnett, Leonard, Butler, and even Middleton, Jr. Role players such as Thomas and Chandler Parsons are all outstanding players.

Assuming that if Wang Chao really joins a weak team at the bottom of the league, he may be able to turn it into a strong team in the league, but if he wants to compete for the championship... that is impossible.

In this year's playoffs, it's not that no team has used double-team tactics against Wang Chao. Facing double-teams, even Wang Chao can only choose to pass the ball. At this time, the Rockets have a second ball-holding point to help Wang Chao share the burden. The pressure, whether it is Leonard or Butler, can do this job and do it very well.

But if you change a team, can someone like the Rockets help Wang Chao share the pressure?

While the strong teams contending for the championship are rejoicing, the weak teams in the league who have never won a championship are all excited.

This is Wang Chao!No. 1 in the history of the league, Wang Chao, who only celebrated his 11nd birthday in November this year, still has a few years of peak time. During this period, no matter which team gets him, he can be like a grass chicken flying on a branch and instantly become a phoenix !

As for whether Wang Chao can bring his team a championship, does that matter?
The free market has not yet started, and many teams have tried their best to get in touch with Wang Chao's agent Bill Duffy to discuss joining conditions. Even if such behavior has violated the rules, they are willing to take the risk of being punished by the league.

Cleveland Cavaliers, general manager David Griffin received a call from James.

"David, you should have seen the news." James said on the phone: "Do you think we can clear up the team's salary space and sign Wang Chao?"

David Griffin: "..."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Griffin sighed, and said helplessly: "Although Wang Chao is not short of money, he will not make any regress in terms of salary. One of the joining conditions he announced to all teams is It is necessary to renew the contract with a maximum salary, and there is no way in our salary space to offer him a maximum salary contract of more than 2000 million."

"If we want to free up salary space, we need to trade away many of this year's main players, including Gasol, Pierce, and there is no way to proceed with the contract extensions like Tristan Thompson and Iman Shumpert. "

"And even if we can make enough salary space, we are not sure that Wang Chao will join the Cavaliers..."

There was still half a sentence, David Griffin didn't say it, and held it in his heart.

The reason why Wang Chao did not renew his contract with the Rockets was that the Rockets' lineup was too strong, and winning the championship with the Rockets could not reflect his strength and value. Isn't it the same reason for joining the Cavaliers?Two regular season MVPs in their peak years join forces, even if they win the championship, what is the gold content?

David Griffin didn't know that, without his knowledge, PUA had reached the future Warriors.

"Even if the chance is slim, we have to give it a try, don't we?"

James said on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, LeBron, I will arrange to provide an offer to Wang Chao's agent." David Griffin sighed in his heart, and said helplessly: "As long as the other party agrees, we will find a way to get Gasol Wait for the players to trade and leave the team to free up enough salary space to sign Wang Chao."

The same thing happened in the offices of the general managers of many teams in the league.

Wang Chao's agent, Bill Duffy, has become the busiest person in the world these days. The phone keeps ringing every day, and he is simply overwhelmed.

During the busy break, he scolded his employer, Wang Chao, in his heart.

"This guy is really capable of messing around with moths. The good Rockets don't want to wait, and insist on running around. What good does it do him?"

Bill Duffy doesn't understand Wang Chao's brain circuit at all. If there is a shortcut, why don't he take a detour?

He really wanted to ask Wang Chao's real thoughts face to face, but unfortunately Wang Chao was attending Dayao's retirement press conference at this time.

As a legend of the Rockets, Dayao, who brought three championships to the team, may be second only to the big dream Olajuwon in the Rockets. The retiring scene is naturally very big. The Rockets directly use the Toyota center ball at home The pavilion was the stage for Dayao's retirement speech, and a large number of reporters and fans of the Rockets came to the scene.

Sitting in the front row are the stars who came to support Dayao's retirement speech, including Wang Chao, Leonard, Butler and other current teammates, Yao Mai's partner Tracy McGrady, Dayao's professional The boss at the beginning of his career, Steve Francis.

Olajuwon, the star team of the Rockets, Drexler the glider, Kenny Smith and others were all present.

In addition, some of Dayao's friends in the league, such as Kobe, O'Neal and other well-known stars, were also present.

In this time and space, Dayao's retirement scene is much bigger than in the original history, but this is also normal.

Dayao has extended his career here for several years, and his honor book has a richer resume. The original five-time All-NBA team has become nine times here, and he has three consecutive dynasty championships. He has been the MVP of the regular season and the FMVP of the finals, and his historical status in the Rockets is even higher than that of Olajuwon.

And now, the fans of the Rockets rank Dayao as No.3 in the history of the Rockets, second only to Wang Chao and Olajuwon. This is also a very high honor and achievement.

Not surprisingly, the Rockets will soon retire Dayao's jersey and, like Olajuwon, carve a statue of Dayao's jersey.

Sitting off the court, Wang Chao smiled and applauded Dayao who was speaking on the stage.

This should be the pomp that the number one star in Huaguo history should have.
-
After the retirement speech was over, Dayao and Wang Chao found a place to sit together alone.

"What are your plans after retirement?"

Wang Chao asked.

"What plans can I have? Relax, enjoy the retirement life, and then go to a university, manage Shanghai Shark well, and then study and do business. After all, you can't just sit and eat."

What Dayao said was very cool, but Wang Chao knew very well that this guy would not only become the chairman of the Basketball Association in the future, but also become a 400-jin fat man.

"Then I wish you a happy retirement."

Wang Chao raised the wine glass in front of him to Dayao.

Dayao also clinked the glass with Wang Chao and drank it down, then put down the glass and shook his head and said: "Wang Chao, I really can't figure out why you choose to leave the Rockets, I thought you would be like me, in the Rockets With your strength, you will definitely become the totem and symbol of the Houston Rockets when you retire."

"As I said, staying in the Rockets is no longer challenging for me. I have no goals to chase or surpass, and I am not short of money. If I don't set myself a challenging and difficult There is no point in continuing to play in the NBA."

Wang Chao shook the wine glass in his hand and said this.

"Okay." Dayao smiled wryly and shook his head, "Your thinking is different from ordinary people, maybe this is the reason why you can achieve what you are doing in the NBA. If so, you have already decided which team to join. ?"

"I haven't figured it out yet. There are many teams to choose from. Just pick slowly."

Wang Chao said.

This is the truth, he really didn't choose the right team, because Wang Chao himself was not prepared for the sudden incident.

That's right, what I said earlier is actually only half-truth and half-false.

It is true that staying with the Rockets to win the championship is not challenging, but the reason why Wang Chao joined other weak teams to prove his ability to win the championship for a team that has never won the championship is mainly inspired by the feeling after winning the finals. system tasks.

When the finals series started, Wang Chao received the long-lost task of the system, defeating the Cavaliers to win the three consecutive championships.

At that time, the system described that after completing the task, the optional career mode-champion rescuer would be opened.

At first, Wang Chao thought it was a new quest function reward, but after the Rockets defeated the Cavaliers 4:2, the quest was completed and the so-called optional career mode was activated. Only then did Wang Chao realize that this was a dungeon quest mode of the system.

As the name suggests, the so-called champion saver is to win the championship for other teams that have not yet had a championship in team history.

According to the system's explanation, this so-called career mode is an evaluation mode for the system to evaluate Wang Chao's career, and it will last until Wang Chao's official retirement. The total score of the career, and then the final mysterious award will be awarded according to the score.

The higher the score, the better the reward, and vice versa.

This mode is very flexible. It depends entirely on Wang Chao's own wishes. He can choose to challenge or ignore it. It has no impact on Wang Chao himself or the system, but there is one thing to say. The final mystery prize is still a bit interesting.

The products produced by the system must be high-quality products, not to mention that this reward will only be announced when Wang Chao officially retires. In a sense, it can be regarded as the ultimate award of the system.

It just so happened that after the Rockets won three consecutive championships, Wang Chao had no strong desire to stay with the Rockets and monopolize the championship with Leonard, Butler and others.

The 7 crown honors have ensured that Wang Chao surpassed the basketball god Jordan and secured his No.1 position in history. The number of subsequent championships is just a prop to ensure the stability of Wang Chao's status in the world.

In contrast, it is indeed more interesting to challenge to lead the team to win the championship in a weak team.

The career module appeared in the consciousness space directly after Wang Chao completed the task, and was divided separately like the data panel, talent tree and store module.

There are several exhibition boards in the area of ​​the career module, displaying the honors that Wang Chao has won, including 7 championship trophies, 5 regular season MVP trophies, 6 finals FMVP trophies, and including All-Star MVP, the most The best lineup, the best defensive team, scoring champion, rebounding champion, assists champion, steals champion and so on are all the substantive honors won by Wang Chao.

All the trophies are neatly arranged together, almost the same as a showroom specially set up by Wang Chao's mansion in reality.

The only difference is that there are a few flagpoles not far from the display cabinet. At this time, there are two flagpoles with flags hanging on them. Although there is no wind in the consciousness space, they are still fluttering.

These two flags are the team logos of the Phoenix Suns and the Orlando Magic.

Looking at the flags representing these two teams, Wang Chao probably understood what it meant.

"The team I won the championship before, as long as there is no championship in the history of the team, it will be included."

Wang Chao once won the Suns for the first time in the 06-07 season, and then partnered with Howard in the Magic to win three consecutive championships in three years from 08-11.

These two teams are both championship-less teams in the history of the league, so they are also counted into the statistics of the champion saver by the career module.

And Wang Chao's three consecutive championships with the Rockets were not counted, because the Rockets had two championships before, that is, the two consecutive championships that Dameng Olajuwon led the team in 94 and 95.

There are still many empty flagpoles. Wang Chao is very curious about what kind of scene it will be if he really fills up all these flagpoles, and what kind of ultimate mysterious prize will be given by the system when he officially retires. ?
As for what kind of sensation and chain reaction his temporary decision would cause in the alliance, it was out of Wang Chao's consideration.

The only pity is that his layout in the Rockets has all been ruined.

Originally, after the end of this season, although the Rockets would be poached and dismembered by various teams in the league frantically offering various premium contracts, Wang Chao was not afraid at all.

Among the four main restricted free agents Leonard, Butler, Middleton, and Whiteside, the Rockets only need to match the contracts of two of them. Wang Chao personally prefers to keep Butler and Middleton, after all, Leonard has rebellious behavior in the Spurs in the future, and as his strength rises, it is inevitable that he will be a bit of a moth.

In this year's draft, Wang Chao will also use the first-round pick obtained from the Timberwolves trade to select Devin Booker.

Because Love did not leave the team, the Timberwolves' record this season is not the bottom of the league, but No. 12 in the Western Conference. This is a rather embarrassing position. Not only is there a certain distance from the playoffs, but it is also far from the bottom of the league. Also very far.

As a result, the Timberwolves' draft pick got the tenth pick in the lottery ceremony. Following Wang Chao's wishes, it was not difficult to select German Booker, who was originally No.13, with this pick.

At that time, the main lineup of the Rockets will be Wang Chao, Booker, Middleton, Butler and Jokic. As long as the strength of Booker and Jokic grows a little, it will still be an exaggerated lineup that completely crushes the league. .

Now that Wang Chao is destined to leave the Rockets, he will naturally not take care of the Rockets' signings. Their contract extension this summer, the draft and signing transactions are no longer things that Wang Chao needs to worry about.

"After the team is selected later, we have to find a way to get Jokic over, otherwise it will be too wasteful."

Although Jokic is only a second-round pick, he is the two consecutive regular season MVP winners after Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo. This honor is not a joke. You must know that in the history of the NBA, two There are very few players with the above MVPs, and even rarer for two consecutive years. There are only 12 players including Antetokounmpo and Jokic.

Based on this alone, Jokic can definitely be regarded as the strongest second-round pick in NBA history, not one of them.

Of course, the premise of this title is that Wang Chao is not included in it.

Although Wang Chao attaches great importance to Jokic, he did not give him too much playing time and opportunities this season. After all, Jokic was seriously overweight when he first entered the league, and he was not able to play in the NBA at all. He played again in Europe. After a year of losing weight, he returned to the NBA in the 15-16 season, and the first season of his career was also quite satisfactory, averaging only 10 points and 7 rebounds per game.

从第二个赛季也就是16-17赛季，约基奇才展现出不俗的个人能力，场均数据提升至16.7分9.8篮板4.9助攻。

The Rockets have been focusing on small ball tactics in recent seasons, and there is a big Yao inside, plus Huaishen and Gobert sitting on the bench, so it is not Jokic's turn to play. Neither the Rockets coaching staff nor the management noticed this ugly fat man.

Therefore, if Wang Chao wants to get Jokic, the operability is quite large. First of all, he must operate before announcing that he is joining the team, arrange for the team to trade Jokic first, and then announce the official joining Otherwise, once the Rockets know that Wang Chao wants Jokic, it is absolutely impossible to let him go. After all, the Rockets' big wins in the draft in the past few years have fully proved Wang Chao's vicious vision. , The players he can look up to are definitely All-Star players.

The only question now is which team to join.

There are currently 11 teams in the league that have never won a championship. The six teams in the West are: Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans.

The five teams in the Eastern Conference are the Charlotte Hornets, Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers, Toronto Raptors, and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Wang Chao has been in this world for several years, and he has changed a lot of the history of the league unconsciously.

For example, it brought the first championship in team history to the Suns and Magic, and also shattered the 10-11 season championship that originally belonged to the Mavericks.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that there are several teams in the league that won the championship too long ago. For example, the Thunder, the Wizards, and the Kings all won the championship a long, long time ago. , They have a championship after all, and the championship trophy is also displayed in the team's room of honor, so it is not counted.

Among these 11 teams, Wang Chao first ruled out the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Wang Chao has already learned about the Cavaliers' offer from Bill Duffy.

But he is preparing for targeted poverty alleviation, not running to win the championship in a group.

Therefore, under the premise of determining the team without a championship, Wang Chao also needs to screen out teams that have the ability to win the championship, such as the Cavaliers, or the Los Angeles Clippers, who have always been regulars in the playoffs and have good strength. Team.

Of course, the above two strong teams themselves do not have enough space to offer Wang Chao a maximum salary. If they want to be competitive, they must need the support of stars. The current total salary of these two teams exceeds the salary cap.

As for the other teams, Wang Chao also needs to screen them out. Some teams that cannot be supported by mud and have no development potential at all will not be considered. Wang Chao must win as many championships as possible before retiring. In the case of the foresight, foresight, advantages and potential rookies, it will take at least one or two years or even longer to establish a championship team.

Teams with a small market are not considered for the time being, and those in remote areas are not interesting.

After screening the above information one by one, Wang Chao's eyes were locked on the black and white team logo of the Brooklyn Nets.

The Brooklyn Nets, formerly the New Jersey Nets, moved to Brooklyn, New York because they were jealous of the Knicks' bonus in New York City.

But just like the Lakers are the only giants in Los Angeles, New York has always belonged to the Knicks.

In recent years, in order to gain popularity, the Nets have spared no expense to form a lineup of five giants, and the salary space exploded directly. The combination of giants, but the total salary of the Nets in the 13-14 season still exceeded the 1 million mark, ranking first in the league, and the luxury tax alone had to pay more than 5000 million US dollars.

Midi capitalism is really not relentless at picking up the wool of the rich Russians.

After paying an exaggeratedly high luxury tax, the Nets only played one second round of the playoffs before going home early to fish. Not to mention the championship, they didn't even see the shadow of the Eastern Conference Finals.

This season, the Nets have begun to clean up the team's exaggerated salary, and traded away a group of people, but even so, the Nets still have a total salary close to 9000 million, of which the former Eagle King Joe Johnson is 2318 million US dollars, Deron Williams $1975 million, Brook Lopez $1572 million.

Among the above-mentioned players this summer, except for Brook Lopez who can choose to jump out of the contract and re-sign a big contract, the other players are not in the contract year.

Therefore, even if Wang Chao wants to join the Nets, the first problem to be solved is the salary space of the Nets. After all, he will never accept non-maximum salary signings.
