"Wang Ke'er, hello."

In the childlike baby room, Candace held a plush toy, teased Xiao Ke'er with a smile, and glanced at Wang Chao with a slightly embarrassed expression not far away from time to time.

Wang Chao was indeed embarrassed at this time.

Despite the scum, it still feels a little weird when Candace came to New York to see his and Miranda's daughter.

"I heard that you invested in a fashion company for Miranda, with her as CE0 and chief designer? is worthy of being the youngest Mr. 3 billion, which is a big deal. ”

Candace's yin and yang weird tone made Wang Chao even more uneasy.

"If you want, I'll invest in another one tomorrow, as long as you like."

He said hurriedly.

Candace glanced at Wang Chao, and snorted lightly: "I don't want it, it's not that she has anything, I have to be like her, but it's just right, that guy temporarily quit the modeling circle because of giving birth, so that I have more opportunities for development, and when she wants to come back, Victoria's Secret is already my world!" ”

As she spoke, Candace sighed. "Wang, you're right, when I saw this child, I realized that if I really gave birth to a child like Miranda, I would definitely be like her, choosing to fade out of the modeling circle and leaving more time and energy to take care of the child, and before that, I wanted to go further in my career and become the top supermodel like Miranda."

Candace can think like this, which makes Wang Chao very happy, he doesn't want the other party to choose the same behavior as Miranda because he is jealous.

Candace didn't just come to New York to see Miranda's children, but the main purpose was to have a commercial show in New York and come to see it between busy work.

Coming and going in a hurry, Candace looked at the child and hurried away, without seeing Miranda.

Although the two acquiesced to each other's existence, it does not mean that the two can get along harmoniously, and it is completely impossible to meet frankly in the same bed, after all, this time is not the same as in the past, Wang Chao still needs to continue to work hard if he wants to reproduce the "glory" of the year.

——

Wang Chao stayed in New York at the end of September, and returned to Houston to report to the team when the return day came, and of course, Miranda and Little Kerr also came to Houston with him.

In the past two months, Wang Chao has only maintained a basic training volume every day in New York, and spends more time with Miranda and Xiao Keer, but he will still find time to deal with some team matters.

With the new season approaching and the Rockets still having a 12-man squad, the clueless Rockets management wanted Wang Chao to provide some advice on recruitment, after all, Wang Chao had fully proven his talent for player selection in the past three years.

In the face of more and more fierce opponents, Wang Chao did not slack off, and listed several targets for reinforcements to the management.

Since the end of August to the beginning of September, the Rockets management has made frequent moves to sign a number of players, including the $2.6 million one-year signing of guard Mo. Williams, 2 years and $2.1 million to sign forward Al Ay. Farouk. Aminu.

These two contract extensions are not worth mentioning, and they are just base salary signings for some rotation role players.

Mo. Williams averaged only 9.7 points and 4 assists per game in the Trail Blazers last season, and the level is far from the average of 17+6 per game at the peak of the year, but the $2.6 million contract is cheap, and more importantly, Wang Chao knows that Mo Williams in the 14-15 season, in the case of two teams, can also contribute 14.2 points and 6 assists per game, even if the shooting rate barely fluctuates around 40%, the efficiency is not high, but it is by no means useless, And the Rockets themselves currently lack a point guard who can control the court during the bench period. Williams is naturally an excellent choice.

As for Aminu, as a 2.06m striker, his stats are not as good as Mo's. Williams, also does not have the ability to shoot three-pointers, but the explosive Aminu of physical fitness is extremely mobile, especially the deterrent under the empty cut basket, and the defensive end also has a desperate Saburo-style defensive attitude, and the base salary signing can play a role even if it does not enter the team's rotation normally, at certain times.

Team Rocket's operation doesn't end there.

In early September, the Rockets officially announced that they had signed free agent Ray Murphy to a one-year, $2.4 million contract. Alan.

History has changed because of the butterfly effect.

At this time, he should have had two championships, and he was ready to retire after his success. Aaron, at present, does not even have a crown.

Whether it was during the Celtics Big Three or when he joined the Heat to get a lying crown ring, he was sniped by the team led by Wang Chao, resulting in a failure to win a championship.

If you can't beat it, you can join, which is obviously the shortest shortcut to the championship.

Therefore, he should have been at home at this time, and was sincerely pursued by many teams and never returned to play. Allen, who has responded positively to the recruitment of the Rockets, will wear a red Rockets jersey in the new season and launch a final attack on the championship.

Due to the original time and space, the 14-15 season of Ray. Allen didn't play, and Wang Chao didn't know what his competitive state was, but considering that even two years later, Lei Chao, who was already 41 years old. When Allen was planning to make a comeback, the two biggest favorites at the time, the Cavaliers and Warriors, would still be in a fierce battle. Allen is certainly still capable, and the three-point shooting ability of the former NBA's all-time three-point champion must have a place in this era of small-ball supremacy.

The Rockets, who signed Ray Allen, have a roster of 13 players, 5 guards, 4 forwards, and 4 centers.

Although it did not make up a full 15-man squad, it was enough to cope with the team's squad rotation for the new season.

At the end of September, the Rockets officially assembled and took makeup photos for the new season.

At the subsequent press conference, reporters asked Wang Chao a number of questions.

"Mr. Wang Chao, it is reported that your worth has reached 3 billion, which is richer than many team owners in the NBA, will you continue to play in the NBA after this contract expires? If you choose to retire from the league and there are many teams in the league that are currently being sold, would you choose to buy an NBA team? ”

The first question asked by the reporter made the general manager and head coach of the Rockets sitting on the sidelines jump their eyelids.

They have been avoiding thinking about this problem before, to be honest, when Wang Chao's worth was exposed, they couldn't look at Wang Chao normally for a while, in front of them, this is a richer uncle than the team owner Alexander, and any bumps and bumps on the field in the future will be a very serious incident.

Faced with the reporter's question, Wang Chao's answer was very calm.

"Playing in the NBA is my profession, it's my hobby, it's not about money, as long as I can keep playing well, I'm going to keep playing because I love winning and I love winning championships."

"In that case, will you opt out of the player option next summer and opt for a new contract with a relatively low salary to help keep Kawhi and Jimmy next year and remain competitive?"

Another reporter stood up and asked.

This question made the eyes of the general manager of the Rocket team light up.

In fact, he has long thought of this problem, Wang Chao is no longer short of money, for him who is worth 3 billion, the average annual salary of 20 million that the team can provide does not matter at all, since Wang Chao likes to play, likes to win and win championships, and chooses to take the initiative to reduce his salary, so as to free up salary space to improve the strength of the team is obviously a better choice.

However, Wang Chao's answer made the smile that had just appeared on his face stiffen.

"How is that possible?" Wang Chao shook his head, "The salary contract is the most intuitive embodiment of a player's value and status, even if I have money, it does not mean that I can accept a salary reduction to renew the contract, on the contrary, if you want to keep me, the team must pay the highest level of maximum salary to renew the contract!" ”

"In addition, you need to understand that it is not the Rockets who won the championship, but because I came to the Rockets, so I have two championships in three years, and this must be understood."

It is impossible to take a pay cut, and it is impossible to take a pay cut in this life.

Just kidding, even if I'm not short of money, it doesn't mean that you can save money from me with peace of mind.

The money of the American imperialist capitalists is not earned in vain, and the money earned by Wang Chao can be donated to China to help the country in poverty alleviation and construction even if he does not need it.

Today, Wang Chao clearly told the team that the money that should be given to labor and management, don't think about a penny less, and tens of millions is not a small amount, especially in 16 years, after the new TV broadcast contract comes into effect, the league's salary cap will skyrocket to 94 million US dollars, according to the 35% maximum salary, the starting salary alone can reach 32.9 million US dollars, if you count the bird rights, it is 35 million!

Wang Chaocai doesn't care about the problem of renewing other players after the team provides him with the highest salary, what is the problem, he doesn't have to have Leonard, Butler These star players can have a chance to compete for the championship, even if there is no them, as long as Wang Chao is there, his team must be the favorite to win the championship!

"The Cavaliers have formed a super big five combination in the new season, what do you think of the big five lineup of James, Irving, Embiid, Gasol and Pierce, and can the Rockets easily defend the championship against this Cavaliers?"

Another reporter asked, getting up.

Again, this is a very critical question.

With the excellent recruitment work in the summer, the Cavaliers have become the biggest favorites to win the championship in the new season, and even suppressed the Rockets to the top of the championship odds list.

After all, at a time when the strength of the Cavaliers is rising, the strength of the Rockets is constantly declining. Williams, Aminu and Ray. Allen and other players followed the departing Kevin. Garnett, Thomas Jr., Chandler. Parsons was obviously unable to reach a level, and with the aging of Da Yao and the decline of competitive form, the decline in the strength of the Rockets is a widely known fact.

Of course, Wang Chao himself does not think so, with the acquisition of points and the selection of natural skills, Wang Chao's strength is still improving, and more importantly, the growth of Leonard and Butler, as well as the progress of young players such as Whiteside, Middleton, and Gobert are visible to the naked eye.

If you define it by the ability value of 2K games, last season, that is, in the 2013-14 season, Leonard and Butler's ability values were not very outstanding, Leonard may be slightly higher, able to reach 82, and Butler only has an overall rating of 76.

But by the 14-15 season, the duo's abilities and stats have improved in an all-round way, and in the 2K15 game, Leonard's total rating has reached 85, and Butler's is 80.

And the above is just the ability value evaluation given by the 2K game according to the performance of the two in the original time and space.

In the time and space where Wang Chao is located, due to the addition of the system sparring potion and Wang Chao's special care, the training plan and heads-up workout have been formulated, and the strength of Leonard and Butler is far better than that of themselves at the same time.

According to Wang Chao's estimate, Leonard's strength is no less than Paul's similar style in the same position. George, George's overall ability value in 2K15 is 89, and in reality, in the 14-15 season, George, who suffered a serious injury, only played 6 games, and it is impossible to make a normal comparison, but among the forward players, George in the 14-15 season is second only to James, Durant, and Anthony.

In other words, the Rockets' version of Leonard, in terms of ability at the small forward position, is second only to James, Durant, Anthony, and George is on par, and can be tied for fourth place among small forwards.

As for Butler, although the main position is also a swing man, whether it is the current Rockets or the Bulls in the original time and space, he is the main scoring guard position.

In the 14-15 season, when the shooting guard has withered, there are no stars with an overall rating of more than 90.

In the 2K15 game, the highest ability value of the scoring guard is Kobe Bryant, who has played 35 games and averaged 22 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, with a total ability rating of 89, the same as Paul George at the forward position, followed by Harden.

Harden originally averaged 27 points, 5.7 rebounds and 7 assists per game in the 14-15 season, and his data performance was already at the level of the league's top superstars, but the 2K15 game was produced before the start of the regular season.

Similarly, they gave Wade 86, who played poorly in the playoffs in the 13-14 season, as he ranked third among shooting guards.

DeRozan, who ranks fourth in the quarterback, has an overall rating of 85, and the fifth in the scoring guard is actually Lance of the Pacers. Stephenson, the overall rating can reach 84, which is a bit of a.

However, Stephenson's performance in the 13-14 season was really good, averaging 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, which can be regarded as one of the best scoring guards in the entire league, while Butler averaged only 13.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game during the same period.

But that's no longer the case.

Butler on the Rockets was no less cared for than Leonard, and even more so because of his hard-working training attitude, he was even more effective by the sparring potion bonus.

Assuming that Leonard has reached the same level as George, and the overall rating can reach 89, then Butler is at least 87 or even 88, and the gap with the first two is extremely small.

In other words, the current Rockets team has Wang Chao, who has a full value of 99 based on the total rating of 2K ability value, Leonard with an ability value of 89, Butler with 88, plus Da Yao, whose state is declining rapidly, but at least above 80.
