Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Dust Settles, and the Suns Trade Wang Chao

There is no problem with the Cavaliers' salary space, and after the 06-07 season, multiple contracts expire, including James and Anderson. Valejo, Sasha. The rookie contracts of the three Pavlovich have officially ended, and a new contract is about to be signed.

James does not have any suspense, it must be the maximum salary renewal, in Wang Chao's impression, James and the Cavaliers finally signed a 4-year 60 million contract, because they only signed for 4 years, the proportion of bird right salary increase did not enjoy the maximum, but the four-year contract can allow James to have more options in the future, paving the way for the decision 1 in advance.

Before renewing James' contract, the Cavaliers' salary space is enough to sign another player with an annual salary of less than 15 million, and then renew James' contract through bird rights, so although there will be some luxury tax due to the total salary issue, but for the Cavaliers, as long as they can bring in players with outstanding quality, paying some luxury tax is nothing.

Moreover, like Larry, who has an annual salary of up to 13 million in the team. Hughes, who was a pure undercover agent during the playoffs and even the Finals, had an almost negative contribution, and the Cavaliers were already trying to get out of this cumbersome garbage contract through trades.

As long as you can trade Larry. Hughes, the Cavaliers don't have to pay much luxury tax either.

It's a pity......

Wang Chao shook his head and turned the page directly.

"The Cavaliers are not on my radar."

Wang Chao is really not interested in running to Cleveland, where birds don't, to be a fixed-point shooter for James, although the Cavaliers will definitely have the strength to win the championship if they have him, after all, in the next few seasons, even if there is only Mo. In the case of Williams and Big Z, James can also lead the team to win 66 wins and 61 wins in the regular season respectively, which is really terrifying.

The specific reason has been mentioned before, there is no need to talk about it, all in all, as long as there is a choice, Wang Chao is definitely not willing to run to partner with James.

……

After the Cavaliers, there are several other teams that can give the maximum salary and are also willing to offer Wang Chao a maximum salary contract, including the Seattle SuperSonics, Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves and other teams.

Supersonic has always had the habit of hoarding shooters, and the supersonic trio Thunder. Allen, Lewis and Radmanovic are all representative figures of long-range shooters, and what Wang Chao knows, after selecting Durant in 07, the SuperSonics decided to completely tear down the rebuild, let go of All-Star level Ray Allen and Lewis, build the team around Durant as the core, and moved to Oklahoma a year later, officially renamed the Thunder by the SuperSonics.

It's just that the supersonic is not suitable in Wang Chao's view, this is a team that wants to tear down and rebuild, at least two seasons in the future, that is, before getting the two high-pick draft picks of Westbrook and Harden, only Durant has combat effectiveness in the team, and Durant is also a newcomer who needs a growth cycle and a lot of shooting power in the early stage.

To put it simply, joining the SuperSonics is not something to expect in terms of regular season wins in the first two seasons.

Even if Wang Chao and Durant both score more than 25+ points, the lack of supersonic overall strength cannot make up for it, and neither Wang Chao nor Durant's ability during the rookie rookie period can lead the team to victory.

And Wang Chao's style of play itself is slightly in conflict with Durant, both of them are the scoring endpoints, unless Wang Chao returns to the no-ball style of play and gives the ball to Durant, but in that case, what is the difference between playing with the Suns or going to the Cavaliers?

As for the Warriors and Timberwolves, they can't satisfy Wang Chao.

Before the Warriors get Curry, they will never be able to get rid of the name of the weak team, and the Black Eight Miracle in the 06-07 playoffs is their biggest highlight moment, but due to the appearance of Wang Chao, this highlight no longer exists.

As for the Timberwolves...... Garnett is ready to roll up and run away, even in the 22 years that Wang Chao has crossed, the Timberwolves are still recognized as a bad team in the league, and no matter how many champions are chosen, they can't be saved.

"Why are all the bids coming from these bottom-ranked teams?" Wang Chao was a little speechless, but if he thought about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong.

But any team with stronger strength in the league is basically saturated with salary space, and even if you want Wang Chao, you can't give the maximum salary.

In this way, it seems that the Cavaliers are already the best choice under the maximum salary conditions.

At this moment, Wang Chao's gaze suddenly froze, and his gaze stayed on the last team.

"Orlando Magic ......"

The Magic team actually offered him a contract extension with a maximum salary.

Wang Chao's eyes gradually lit up.

He really didn't expect that in Wang Chao's memory, the Magic team made some big news this summer, with the signing and then trading with the SuperSonics, and with the SuperSonics All-Star forward Rashad . Lewis signed a 6-year, 118 million sky-high contract, so Lewis has a new nickname, Mr. 100 million, after all, he is the tenth player in NBA history to receive a 100 million yuan contract.

As a player who had only been selected once before as an All-Star bench, had not been selected to the All-Star team, and had a lackluster list of honors, many people did not understand the brain circuits of the Magic management at the time.

This contract has become a typical garbage contract without any surprise, and Lewis has performed quite well in his first season with the Magic, averaging 18.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game in the regular season and 19.5 points and 7.2 rebounds in the playoffs.

Lewis, who got a big contract, has declined very quickly, and in his third season with the Magic, his average data has dropped to 14 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, while his contract of $18.88 million at that time can be among the best in the league.

Now what's going on? The Magic team made a salary offer for themselves, and how did they give Lewis a 100 million yuan contract after that? Could it be that he replaced Lewis and became the target of the Magic's introduction?

This is very likely, Lewis averaged 22.4 points and 6.6 rebounds per game this season, Wang Chao 20.9 points and 3.7 rebounds, and when the two data are almost the same, Wang Chao is better than Lewis in terms of three-point shooting percentage and overall scoring efficiency.

When the two play the same positioning, Wang Chao is younger than Lewis, has more potential, is more efficient, and is cheaper when both are paid at the highest salary.

Even Wang Chao, who has been in the league for three seasons, has more personal honors than Lewis.

Lewis only had one All-Star bench in the 04-05 season, Wang Chao was not only selected as an All-Star this season, but also had the Best Sixth Man and the Most Improved Player awards, although the gold content of these two awards is not high, but at least it is also a proof of the strength of the player, don't take bean bags and improper dry food!

"Replace Lewis and become the Magic's forward shooter......

Wang Chao's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, this is okay, it really can!

The reason why the Magic are willing to give Lewis a 100 million dollar contract is that he has accurate shooting range from beyond the three-point line as a power forward.

In the coming seasons, in Stan. The Magic team under Van Gundy's command is also a standard one-star tactical system.

But unlike the Cavaliers' James' one-star shots, the one star in the Magic's one-star shots, that is, the center Monster Howard, is definitely not a point that requires a lot of ball-holding and strong offense.

Howard at his peak was still technically a super blue-collar player, but his athleticism was too strong, and in this era of the withering of the top inside, he could play the performance of a top center.

As a center, Howard has the mobility of a guard, the defensive radius is terrifying, and the Magic's basket is almost entirely a no-fly zone.

In the strongest years of the Magic team, it was basically Howard squatting alone on the inside, and the four shooters on the outside shot a lot of three-pointers.

Since the 07-08 season, after the Magic acquired Lewis, the Magic has always averaged the highest three-point shots per game in the league, and the regular season record has never been below 50 wins.

In this way, Wang Chao's three major goals: the team's victory, that is, the points are guaranteed, there is no top star in the team except for Howard, the ball and the right to shoot are also guaranteed, the top salary contract is also willing to be given by the other party, and the small money is also guaranteed.

"Pretty lucky......"

At this moment, Wang Chao had already made a decision in his heart.

……

"Wang, these are all the teams in the league that are willing to give you a maximum salary offer, in addition to some teams willing to give an average annual salary of about 10 million, including some teams with good strength, but all things considered, instead of joining those teams, it is better to stay in the Suns, at least the tactical system here is more suitable for your play."

Sitting in front of Wang Chao. Duffy saw him looking at the document and bowed his head silently, thinking that there was no team that Wang Chao was interested in.

"I also have a plan where you can put pressure on the Suns by pretending to agree to one of the teams' offers, and depending on how much the Suns value you, there should be a 50% chance of forcing the other side to give you a maximum salary."

"No need." Wang Chao shook his head and said, "Contact the management of the magic team and make an appointment to meet in the next few days." ”

Bill. Duffy was slightly stunned and looked at Wang Chao. "You've decided?"

"Hmm." Wang Chao nodded and said, "The Magic are a team with a lot of potential, and I think it may be a better fit for my style than the Suns." ”

Speaking of this, he thought about it again and said: "If the Suns choose to match the contract of the Magic, it is best to communicate with the Suns again to show my attitude that I don't want to stay with the Suns to play in the new season." ”

Bill. Duffy was a little stunned for a while, why did Wang Chao's attitude suddenly change so much, and he was so resolute that the Magic team was really that good? Why didn't he see it?

This season, the Magic reached the playoffs with a 40-42 record, and then were swept out of the playoffs by the Pistons 4-0 in the first round.

In the entire Magic team, the only one worth mentioning is Howard, who averaged 17.6 points and 12.3 rebounds per game in the regular season.

The rest of the players, Grant. Hill was ruined by an injury and has long since lost his name as Jordan's successor, and the Magic may not renew his contract this summer.

As for several other starters, including Turkoglou, Nelson and others, the likes of Bill. Duffy seems to be just ordinary role players, both of whom only have about 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in the regular season, and their shooting percentage is only in the early 40%.

Such a team, even if Wang Chao joins, will not become a league powerhouse, and it is not much different from several other teams that give maximum salaries such as the Warriors, SuperSonics, and Timberwolves.

That's why Bill. The reason why Duffy would put the Cavaliers at the top.

Looking at all the teams that have given the highest salary offer, the Cavaliers are undoubtedly the strongest team overall, after all, they reached the finals this season, and there is only one top superstar in the team, James, who is the most suitable for Wang Chao from a rational point of view.

Bill. Duffy couldn't figure out why Wang Chao chose Magic, but as an agent, all he could give Wang Chao was advice, and it was Wang Chao himself who made the final decision.

And Wang Chao's own reasons are naturally quite sufficient.

As a traverser, Wang Chao knows that in the next four years, Howard will become the strongest center in the league, averaging 20 points and 14 rebounds per game, and winning 3 times the best defensive player, 5 times the rebounding king, 2 times the block king, and has never missed the All-NBA and All-Defensive Team until 2012.

He also knows that Turkoglou, who has performed like a role player this season, will usher in the highlight of his career after changing his position in the new season, averaging 19.5 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the regular season, becoming a representative figure of point forward.

He also knows that in the next three years, the Magic will be the only team other than the Lakers and Celtics to reach the Finals.

Of course, these things don't have to be known to outsiders.

……

The first few days after the opening of the free market became the busiest days.

Supersonic will thunder. Allen's trade to Celtic is the biggest news in recent times, with some other sporadic deals skipped.

The contract extension of Wang Chao, the Suns' champion hero, has become the focus of recent heated discussions.

With the Suns and Wang Chao's contract extension at an impasse, other teams began to stir up, and on July 6, there was a news report that Wang Chao and his agent Bill Chao. Duffy flew to Orlando for an in-depth conversation with the Magic's management.

A day later, the Magic officially offered Wang Chao a four-year, $58 million contract with a maximum salary offer, with a player option for the fourth year.

As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused a shock in the alliance.

Although Wang Chao is not a top star, his average of 20+ points per game this season is enough to prove his strength, especially for the Suns who have just won the championship, he is definitely an important piece of the puzzle for the team to continue to defend the championship and the cornerstone of the future team.

If the Suns lose Wang Chao, it will be a great thing for other teams in the league who are aiming to win the championship, after all, it is indeed too foul for the Suns to have Nash, Stoudemire, Wang Chao and Marion four All-Stars at the same time.

However, before that, the team that could grab Wang Chao had the highest voice in the finals, the Suns' opponent Cleveland Cavaliers, and no one expected that the Magic team would quietly take the lead in the battle for Wang Chao.

However, after the Magic made an official offer, the Suns responded a day later, and they chose to match the Magic's offer and offer Wang Chao a five-year, $78 million contract.

As Wang Chao's parent team, the Suns, who have the right to renew the contract of the birds, can not only renew the contract for one more year than the Magic team, but also have a slightly larger contract total.

The average annual salary of the Magic team of 58 million over four years is $14.5 million, and the average annual salary of the matching contract offer given by the Suns is as high as 15.6 million.

According to the rules of the league, as long as the Suns match the offer, Wang Chao can only stay on the team.

So when they saw that the Suns matched the Magic's offer, the rest of the league could only sigh.

It seems that in the next few years, the Suns will be the biggest stumbling block on the way to winning the championship.

No one expected that two days later, the situation would be reversed.

The Magic sent one future first-round pick and two second-round picks, plus a trade exception of about 9 million, and traded forward Wang Chao from the Suns!

This time, everyone was stunned.

What the hell is this?

The Suns obviously got Wang Chao, why did they trade him out, and they only changed one first-round pick and two second-rounders.

The Magic's first round is not too valuable, after all, they are not the bottom team in the league, and according to this season's record, it is likely that they are a draft pick other than the lottery pick.

Just this thing, in exchange for Wang Chao, who is only 24 years old and can score an average of 20 points per game and has a bright future, from the Suns, it is simply shady!

Did the Suns management get kicked in the head by a donkey?

But soon, the Suns officials made an announcement, which in itself was a sign-and-trade deal, and the reason why the Suns matched Wang Chao's offer was that they didn't want to let Wang Chao go for nothing, and wanted to exchange it for some valuable chips.

In other words, the Suns are equivalent to prostituting the Magic team in one first round and two second rounds, plus a 9 million trade exception, and making the Magic pay more than normal salaries to get Wang Chao.

As for why the Suns chose to give up Wang Chao, this is a good explanation.

If Wang Chao is really retained according to the five-year $78 million matching contract, there will be four players with an annual salary of more than 10 million in the Suns team in the new season. Marion, $13.76 million Stoudemire, $11.38 million Nash, and Wang Chao, who has a starting salary of $13.04 million under the new contract.

Coupled with Dior's early contract renewal in 06, the contract of 9 million in the new season and the middle-class contracts of about 5 million such as Barbossa and Bale, the Suns' salary next season will be at least 80 million US dollars!

According to the 07-08 season luxury tax threshold of $67.865 million, the Suns will have to pay close to $22 million just to pay taxes, which is simply a living cut of his flesh for the Suns owner!

After all, the Suns are not the wealthy New York Knicks, who can pay tens of millions of luxury taxes every year, and then watch the team fish belly at the bottom of the belly every year without blinking.

In order to avoid such a high luxury tax, even if Wang Chao is let go in vain, causing the team to lose part of its competitiveness, there is no way.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the league, in fact, if it weren't for Wang Chao's sideways intervention, the Magic team would have used the same means to sign Mr. Lewis, the SuperSonics first completed the contract extension with Lewis, and then the Magic team used a second-round plus 9 million trade exception to get Lewis from the SuperSonics.

The only difference is that the SuperSonics had already planned to tear down and rebuild, except for the rookie Kevin who had just completed the signing. Except for Durant, the rest of the players are basically trade chips.

Moreover, Lewis, as a player born in 79, is now 28 years old, although he is at the peak of his career, but after the peak is a period of decline, if the 6-year 118 million contract is fully fulfilled, he is already 34 years old, and no one can guarantee whether this contract will become a garbage contract in advance.

In fact, everyone knows what the result is, and this 100 million yuan contract is indeed rotten.

Wang Chao and Lewis are fundamentally different, when the two played similarly last season, Wang Chao is younger and has more development potential than Lewis, and more importantly, unlike the superSonics who want to tear down the rebuild, the Suns don't want to let go of Wang Chao at all, but the cost of this maximum salary contract is too great, so it has to be done.

So in order to get Wang Chao, the Magic team paid a higher price than the original Lewis, one first-round plus two second-rounders.

Although the price is not small, the management of the Magic team is very excited.

Smith, the general manager of the Magic team, said in an interview. "Wang Chao is a young and energetic player, he seems to be never tireless on the court, and the three-point shot that is not missing is deeply attracted to me, we all feel that the arrival of Wang Chao will bring qualitative changes to the team, he will become the offensive core of the Magic team, now we have Howard on the inside, Wang Chao on the outside, under the leadership of these two 04 rookies, it will definitely get better and better!"

Wang Chao joined the Magic, some people were happy and some were worried.

The Suns are obviously the most unhappy, but the other teams are not necessarily happy because the Suns failed to keep Wang Chao's strength.

For example, James of the Cavaliers is very unhappy.

Under his instructions, the management of the Cavaliers has offered Wang Chao a maximum salary, and if necessary, it is not impossible to give Wang Chao a bigger contract in the same way as the Magic team.

But what the general manager of the Cavaliers told him was that Wang Chao's agent fed them that Wang Chao himself was not willing to join Cleveland to play and did not think about it at all.

They don't even have a chance to compete.

This is also the dilemma that the Cavaliers have always faced in the offseason, and the small ball market has made many players not consider them at all when considering the team.

Not to mention bringing in players, it's good for the Cavaliers to keep their own players.

James doesn't need to say much, he is definitely going to renew his contract with a maximum salary, Vallejo and Alexander. Pavlovic also wants to stay on the team, in order to keep these two players who are not bad, the Cavaliers did not hesitate to release words in the league early, no matter what conditions any team offers them, the Cavaliers will choose to match.

This sentence was originally intended to deter other teams, but Vallejo and Pavlovich's agents both made up their minds and began to sit on the ground.

In Wang Chao's impression, the starting salaries of both of them are around $5 million, which means that the Cavaliers spent 10 million to keep these two, plus James' contract renewal...... The Cavaliers also don't have much salary space to bring in reinforcements.

In other words, in the new season, James must continue to drag this bad roster to fight in the East, and the road to the championship is far away.

Equally unhappy is the Houston Rockets.

When the free agency market first opened, the Rockets were also one of the teams that really wanted to get Wang Chao.

But the Rockets have no salary space at all, and a certain dog who has just become the general manager of the Rockets is so shameless that he wants to use Da Yao and Wang Chao as both Chinese players, and the two agents are Bill. Duffy's relationship tried to persuade Da Yao to persuade Wang Chao to accept a short-term middle-class contract, and promised to give Wang Chao a lucrative contract when the team's salary space was freed up next year.

This kind of shameless to brain-dead suggestion, Da Yao directly refused, and Wang Chao's agent Bill. Duffy didn't even mention it in front of Wang Chao.

A player who can get a top salary of tens of millions goes to your house to get a middle-class contract, I think you really drank too much Sanlu milk powder.

But this is really not nonsense, if there is no Wang Chao, the Rockets' most inclined target in the summer of 07 is the supersonic Rassad. Lewis, which was still publicized in China at the time, also revealed that Drexler, a famous player of the Rockets, also revealed that he had breakfast with Lewis every day during that time, and tried his best to persuade Lewis to join the Rockets and sign a short-term middle-class clause.

Everyone knows what happened after that, Lewis had the nickname of Mr. Billion on the Magic, and the Rockets, who tried to take down Lewis with the middle class, became a clown and got nothing in the offseason.

But it is precisely because of Wang Chao that things may really take a turn for the better, without the Magic, the unjust head of the Magic team, who offered Lewis a contract of 100 million yuan, eager to send Lewis out, and the SuperSonics, who provide space for Durant's growth, may really be able to trade with the Rockets.

It's just that no matter how much the salary is cut, Lewis's annual salary cannot be lower than 10 million, and the Rockets will have to bleed a lot if they want to get Lewis, which will test the Rockets' boss Leslie. Alexander's ability to withstand it.

The two largest contracts in the Rockets are Maddy with an annual salary of 19 million and Da Yao with an annual salary of 13.76 million US dollars, in addition to a group of players with an annual salary of about 5 million, such as Battier, Alston, and Zhu Wan. Howard and so on.

If Lewis is paid tens of millions of dollars a year, the Rockets will inevitably face a situation where they will have to pay a high luxury tax.

Of course, this is not something that Wang Chao needs to consider.

……

A day later, the Magic made another announcement with Dwight. Howard reached an early contract extension agreement for a five-year contract with a total amount of up to $85 million and an average annual salary of $17 million.

Howard's contract will officially take effect in the summer of '08, and because of this, the starting salary of the contract is based on next year's salary cap, combined with the Bird clause and Howard's four-year NBA resume, which makes his maximum salary extension $7 million higher than Wang's.

In this way, the two operations of the Magic team directly determine the development direction of the team in the next four years, and the two male partners in 04 will become the main core partners of the Magic team in the future.

The news that Wang Chao joined the Magic and Howard renewed his contract ahead of schedule only grabbed the headlines of the league for a few days, and was immediately brushed off.

No way, the offseason in '07 was really lively, Wang Chao and Howard are just players who have just been selected as All-Stars after all, and the coffee position is far from enough to attract too much attention from the league.

At the beginning of August, the deal that really caused a sensation in the league was born.

The Boston Celtics used Al. Jefferson and seven other players, plus two first-round picks as chips, traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves for Wolves King Kevin. Garnett.

This was the shocking deal that really shocked the whole league, because the Celtics, who got Garnett, officially formed Garnett, Pierce and Ray. Allen's triumvirate combination.

Last season, Garnett averaged 22.4 points, 12.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, won the rebounding crown, and was selected to the best third team and the best defensive second team.

Paul. Pierce averaged 25 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

Ray Allen averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.

The teaming up of three top superstars in the prime of their careers is a rare occurrence even in the history of the league.

As a result, the Celtics have become the biggest favorites to win the championship in the new season, leaving the Suns, Spurs and other teams far behind.

Under pressure from the Celtics and the Rockets, the Rockets finally made a decision.

On August 5, the Rockets officially reached a trade agreement with the SuperSonics to send Juwan. Howard, Sean. Battier, a future two-round pick, plus some cash compensation, was a first-round pick from the Seattle SuperSonics in exchange for forward Sharad. Lewis.

Lewis didn't get a $100 million contract like he did with the Magic, and after some haggling and pie-seeking, the Rockets got Lewis on a five-year, $80 million contract, with an average annual salary of $16 million.

Although it did not reach the sky-high contract of 118 million yuan in 6 years, 80 million in 5 years, in fact, if it is based on 6 years, it can also reach the standard of 100 million, which is acceptable for Lewis, who has only been selected as an All-Star once and does not have any best team and other honors.

It's just that Rockets owner Alexander is a little stressed on his wallet.

Lewis' starting salary for the new season will be as high as $13.7 million, which is comparable to Da Yao.

And the Rockets also have a $19.01 million Maddie, with a total salary of $46.5 million for the three, and the Rockets will sign some players casually, and the salary will go up to $75 million, and the luxury tax must have been paid.

Wang Chao didn't expect that Alexander, who had always been a slammer and was known as the owner of the poorest team in the league a few years ago, would suddenly be so arrogant, and the benefits brought to him by the selection of Da Yao were really considerable, and he also realized that if the Rockets could make a difference in the playoffs or even win the championship, the rewards for him might be even greater!

Following the Celtics, the Rockets have also formed their own Big Three combination, closely following the Celtics to the top of the championship odds list.

While the entire league and the world are buzzing about this series of NBA-changing trades, Wang Chao has already started his training plan.

With Bill. Duffy's agent, Wang Chao really has a lot of worries.

The Suns' training hall is no longer available, and there is no time for the Magic team to report at this time, Wang Chao's training arena, sparring trainers and other trivial things, Bill. Duffy helped Wang Chao solve it.

Bill, who also works as a multi-player agent. Duffy is actually quite busy, but Wang Chao is one of the major customers he will serve in the future, and Duffy naturally attaches great importance to Wang Chao.

No way, after all, Da Yao only signed a 5-year 75 million renewal contract last year, Wang Chao, as Da Yao's junior, signed a 5-year 78 million higher than Da Yao this year, although the signing contract should consider the year and the increase in the salary cap, but Wang Chao, as an outside player, is theoretically more popular than Da Yao, and the market is also wider.

Bill. Duffy is very optimistic about Wang Chao's future development prospects, especially when he personally watched Wang Chao's training, this idea is even more firm.

Seriously, Bill. Duffy has been in the industry for so many years, and it is the first time to see a player who works so hard in training, Wang Chao's daily training volume is simply jaw-dropping, is this the amount of training that normal people can bear?

What's even more exaggerated is that Wang Chao is exhausted from practicing every day, but the next day he can immediately devote himself to training, as if the previous day's training did not accumulate fatigue at all.

At the beginning, Wang Chao's crazy training method even Bill. The most professional trainers in the league invited by Duffy were frightened, and bluntly said that with Wang Chao's lifeless training method, he would only train himself alive, which was not a scientific and sustainable training method at all.

But a few days later, Wang Chao was as always, and his body did not appear in any bad state, and the trainer was speechless.

In the NBA, this kind of genius is not uncommon, such as James, such as Howard, are more exaggerated monsters than Wang Chao, so it is not surprising.

But at this moment Bill. Duffy realized that as long as Wang Chao does not experience serious injuries in the future, he will inevitably become a top superstar in the league if he continues to grow like this!

……

The matter of systematic training potions can be prevaricated with physique is naturally the best, which saves Wang Chao a lot of trouble.

Wang Chao's training direction has also been decided before, ball control ability, speed, agility, strength and other related to his ability to break through the power need to continue to be exercised and strengthened, and at the same time, close shooting, layups, throwing and other ability values must be exercised to the extent that they can be used on the court.

The Magic and the Suns are completely different teams, and Wang Chao may be able to get more balls and shots over there, but at the same time, he doesn't have the right pass assists from top passing master Nash, and he doesn't have the opportunity for the Suns to shoot easily on the offensive end brought by their 7-second extreme run.

For Wang Chao, this is both an opportunity and a challenge.

If Wang Chao in the new season is too weak in offensive ability with the ball, resulting in personal data not rising but falling, it will really become a joke.

If you want to be a blockbuster and become stronger in the new season, you have to work hard during this time of the offseason!

After the distribution of the season evaluation rewards, Wang Chao has more than 2,600 points, which is enough for him to make another qualitative leap in strength in the three months of the offseason.

What Wang Chao didn't expect was that when his training was in full swing, Howard called him.

"Hey, buddy, it's me, Dwight!" Howard was very excited on the phone, "Welcome to the Magic, I was going to call you as soon as the deal happened, but I happened to be on vacation in Las Vegas at the time, and I didn't have your contact information." ”

Howard's enthusiasm on the phone made Wang Chao a little uncomfortable, when he was in the Suns, he was a general friend with other players, and Dieng, the only friend who could be regarded as a friend, has also been away from the team for a year and a half, and occasionally called earlier, after Dieng went to play in Europe some time ago, the two have not been in touch for a long time.

Wang Chao really didn't expect that Howard would be so happy and excited about his joining.

But it's normal to think about it carefully, Howard has always been a big boy, giggling every day, and he doesn't have any scheming.

Wang Chao, as a rookie who entered the league in the same year as Howard, was selected as an All-Star bench with him last season, and in Howard's view, he naturally has a lot in common.

The two are inside and outside, there is no conflict in their own playing style, and they can even complement each other to become stronger, and Howard has no reason not to welcome Wang Chao at all.

"Wang, I'm still playing in Las Vegas, do you want to come over, let's have a good time together for a few days, and get acquainted with the relationship?" You can come, I have all the consumption. ”

Howard, who has just signed a big contract, looks very atmospheric, even if Wang Chao's contract is not much smaller than him.

"Thanks, Dwight." Wang Chao said with a tactful smile: "But I am training now, and this summer my agent and trainer have formulated a series of training plans for me, in order to make me have a better and better performance when I am in the Magic team, so I'm sorry, I wish you a good time in Las Vegas." ”

"Not long after the finals, you actually started training?" Howard was a little surprised.

Unlike the Magic, who were eliminated and swept out of the tournament in the first round, Wang Chao's Suns team went all the way to the finals and won the championship.

This means that the Suns have played nearly a month and a half more games than the Magic.

Howard is also planning to wait until the end of August to resume training, and then spend the month of September in intensive training to prepare for the new season.

Warcraft's professional attitude is still okay, and he will insist on exercising every offseason, otherwise he will not have that strong muscle, but as a well-known nightclub prince, Howard trains and messes up, otherwise he will not have so many illegitimate children in the future.

However, after hearing that Wang Chao actually started training early, Howard also felt some sense of urgency.

Wang Chao has signed a five-year contract of $78 million and has been selected as an All-Star, but he is still working so hard, how can he, as the champion of 04, lag behind him?

After thinking about it, Howard said: "Wang, you train there, I'll fly to you tomorrow, how about we train together?" ”

"You're coming?"

Wang Chao was very surprised, but he didn't expect Howard to want to train with him.

This is a good thing, if Wang Chao and Howard's two partners in the next few years can train together in advance and run in some tacit understanding, there will be a very good cooperation in the new season, for example, Howard relies on his mobility advantage to pull out the outside line for Wang Chao to block and dismantle and then go down the air, with Wang Chao's super deterrent outside the three-point line, as long as the tacit understanding will definitely be an excellent move.

(Joining the Magic team,I think it's the most suitable choice after thinking about it again.,The teams suitable for three-point shooters in that era are very limited.,The Magic is obviously the most suitable one.,And Howard doesn't have the ball.,Compared to the Suns and Cavaliers,The protagonist has better room to play.,Of course, the protagonist will definitely not stay with the Magic.,You can continue to look forward to the story later,)
