Chapter 312: Honor Accumulation: 6MVP, 7FMVP, 5DPOY!
"The Nets defeated the Warriors and won the 2016-17 NBA championship with a big score of 4:1!"
"The eighth crown of his career was achieved, Wang Chao was unanimously elected FMVP, becoming the eight-time champion, and the number of championships is close to the Lord of the Rings Russell, Wang Chao, who is currently 34 years old, is there still a chase for Bill. Russell's chances of eleven crowns? ”
"Really. With or without you, we are all champions, Durant successfully won the first championship of his career, but the taste of this championship ring is not very good, in the case of his poor performance in the last three series, the Nets still won 2-1, easily defeated the Warriors 4:1 to win the championship, which proves that even if Durant is replaced by any All-Star level player in the league, the Nets have a great probability of winning this championship, of course, Durant's existence is still valuable, such as 73 wins in the regular season, Without him, the Nets wouldn't have had a chance to achieve such a dominant record. ”
"Wang Chao's acceptance speech once again issued a declaration of leaving the team, leaving the Nets is imperative, the free market ushered in a carnival, and which team will be the next home of the first person in the history of the league will become the biggest attraction this summer!"
The NBA Finals are over, but the league's ups and downs have just begun.
Wang Chao is leaving the Nets, which has caused all teams in the league to be ready to move.
Everyone knows that the only teams that really have a chance to get Wang Chao are those teams that have never won a championship in team history.
Although I don't understand why Wang Chao has this idea of targeted poverty alleviation, after the success of the Nets in winning the championship in two years, no one will doubt Wang Chao's ability to lead the team to win the championship.
At present, there are 10 teams in the league that have never won a championship, with the Bucks, Pacers, and Hornets in the East, and the Clippers, Mavericks, Jazz, Timberwolves, Grizzlies, and Pelicans in the West.
Theoretically, these 10 teams all have the opportunity to compete for Wang Chao, but in reality, considering that the maximum salary to sign Wang Chao requires a starting salary of about $34 million, there are not many teams that can offer this contract.
The Clippers, Mavericks, and Grizzlies are the first to rule out, the Clippers currently have Paul, Griffin and Jordan Jr. three players with an annual salary of more than 20 million, and the Mavericks also have Harden's 28 million plus Barnes's 23.11 million, plus Matthews' 17 million, and the team's salary space is also stretched.
As for the Grizzlies, last summer they gave McConley a five-year, $153 million contract plus a four-year, $94.8 million contract from Chandler Parsons, and their salary space exploded even more than the Clippers and Mavericks.
In addition to the above three teams, the rest of the teams are able to find a way to provide Wang Chao with the maximum salary signing conditions, even if the conditions are not met, through the transaction, sending away some high-paid players in the team can be reluctantly realized.
Now the question is which of these 7 teams can be favored by Wang Chao.
——
On June 23, the NBA Draft continued at the Barclays Center, home of the Nets in Brooklyn, New York.
The 2017 draft can only be regarded as a draft year, and the rookie worth mentioning is only Jason. Tatum, Donovan. Mitchell, Bam. Adebayo and a few others.
However, the arrival of Wang Chao has greatly changed the situation of the alliance, resulting in the lottery has been completely chaotic.
The top pick was won by the Orlando Magic, who had the lowest record in the league, the Philadelphia 76ers were the first on the list, and the draft pick was won by the Phoenix Suns, who were the bottom of the West.
The lottery draft didn't have anything to do with the Celtics because they drafted Jason. Tatum's third-pick pick came from the Brooklyn Nets, which was the Nets' first-round pick when they sent Pierce and Garnett to the Nets.
Now, with the Nets winning the championship with a 73-win record in the regular season, and the draft pick directly becomes the last place in the first round, how can the Green Army still have a chance to select Tatum?
However, to Wang Chao's surprise, Tatum did not join the Green Army, but was picked by the Lakers.
The Orlando Magic, who won the No. 1 pick, chose the No. 1 pick, Markle. Fultz.
The Philadelphia 76ers, who also needed a point guard, had to settle for the next best thing and chose the same highly regarded point guard, Lonzo. Bauer.
Ball's father was quite dissatisfied with this, and he had only one ideal place for his son, that is, the traditional giants Los Angeles Lakers, although Philadelphia is also a big city, but it is obviously dwarfed by Los Angeles.
The old Bauer, a professional troll, chattered about his dissatisfaction in the face of reporters, but he was already in the boat, and he had no other way than to BB two sentences.
As for Tatum, who should have been selected with the third pick, he was not favored by the Phoenix Suns, and they chose Josh, who is in the same position as Tatum and has more physical fitness and athleticism. Jackson.
This is a typical example of losing watermelon and picking up sesame seeds.
Tatum is definitely the most valuable player in the 17-year-old class, although in the future under the support of the league, he is still like a dou who can't be supported, which is disappointing, but Tatum is also a top All-Star level, but it is inferior to MVP-level stars such as Jokic, Brother Alphabet, and Embiid.
Josh. What kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp is Jackson? It's just that his physical fitness is stronger than Tatum's, which makes it easy to confuse scouts.
In the original history, the Suns selected this brother with the No. 4 pick, and then he moved to many teams in just a few years of his career, and his career average of 11.2 points, 4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game cannot be considered particularly bad, but it is obviously different from Tatum.
In this way, the Suns missed Tatum, the only big bull in 17 years, and was picked up by the Lakers.
The Lakers are also lucky enough, and they have eaten the dividends of the times brought by Wang Chao, selecting the champion Towns in 15, Ingram in 16, and Tatum in 17.
This lineup, James looked at it and called it a good guy, and it is estimated that it will take less than two years to consider joining the Lakers.

The draft was followed by the NBA Awards ceremony on June 27, a few days later.
In Manhattan, New York, the NBA's first-ever awards ceremony was held as scheduled, and at the gala, the league began to announce the season's awards that should have been announced during the playoffs.
On the night of the awards ceremony, Wang Chao appeared handsomely in a straight suit, followed by Candace in an elegant black evening dress. Swanepour.
When the two walked on the red carpet, the reporters on both sides of the red carpet frantically pressed the shutter.
Facing the camera, Candace looked calm and generous, because Miranda was going to bring the baby, she naturally accompanied Wang Chao to attend the award ceremony.
Now Candace has successfully incarnated a strong woman in her career, her contract with Victoria's Secret has been terminated, and she has served as the CEO of a fashion brand funded by Wang Chao.
Unlike Miranda, who focuses more on bringing a baby, and the eponymous fashion brand Miranda's Buddhist operation, Candace's brand has developed rapidly in the past two years and has become an internationally renowned fashion brand.
Of course, Candace can have such a development in the fashion industry, which is inseparable from Wang Chao's strong support, and it is precisely because of this that the two women can always maintain a relatively harmonious relationship.
"Mr. Wang Chao, which team would you prefer to join this summer? Do you have an eyebrow now? ”
"Mr. Wang Chao, as the biggest favorite to win the MVP this season, do you have the confidence to win the sixth regular season MVP trophy in your career?"
After walking the red carpet and dealing with questions from several reporters, Wang Chao and Candace finally entered the banquet hall of the awards gala and took their seats.
The highly commercialized league is also moving closer to Hollywood and the Grammys in terms of award ceremonies, and the awards ceremonies are really good.
After the party began, the invited celebrity guests first appeared on the stage to sing and perform, and then began to present awards.
At the beginning, they were all trivial and inconsequential awards, and for the sake of water time, the league made a bunch of awards, such as the best dunk of the year, the best assist of the year and other awards.
There's no way, who made the ultimate awards of the season have a total of so many, and they can't make such a big show of an awards party, and the awards will end in less than a few minutes, and everyone will go back to their own homes to find their own mothers, right?
It's just that this kind of award announcement that doesn't have much value is really meaningless, let alone the audience in front of the TV, or the players in the main venue are drowsy watching it one by one.
Fortunately, after persisting for a long time, it was finally the turn of the more critical awards.
The Rookie of the Year was won by Nuggets rookie Jamal A. Murray won.
Murray is averaging 11 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game this season.
It sounds a bit fantasy that such data can get the best rookie, but in fact, Brogdon, who was originally the best rookie this season, averaged only 10 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game.
In this time and space, because Brogdon was cut off by Wang Chao to be used as a bench substitute, the data is not as good as the original, so the league can only pick the big one among the short ones and choose Murray of the Nuggets.
Originally, Murray averaged 9.9 points per game, but in this time and space, perhaps because of the absence of Jokic, his average points per game increased slightly, so he stood out from the rookies and won the best rookie.
As for the other 16 rookies, Ben. Simmons didn't play a game this season, and Brandon made the list. Ingram is averaging less than 10 points per game, and it is true that he can't find a more suitable candidate.
The Sixth Man of the Year was defeated by the Rockets' Eric Brown. Gordon obtained.
After going around and around, Gordon still joined the Rockets, although the team's leading big brother was not Harden, but became Leonard, but it didn't make much difference for him, and he still averaged 16.3 points per game during the regular season, playing extremely well.
The Most Improved Player Award was presented to Giannis of the Bucks. Antetokounmpo.
This season is the season of the rise of Brother Alphabet, The performance of 22.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game in the regular season has dazzled the whole league, especially Brother Alphabet's simple and rough style of play, which brings the aesthetics of violence to the extreme, making people feel like watching James play when he was young, considering the terrifying static talent of Brother Alphabet, his impact under the basket is even stronger than that of James when he was young, as long as Brother Alphabet can develop the ability to shoot from medium and long range in the next few seasons, he is bound to become one of the hottest stars in the league.
The award for Best Coach was given to Nets head coach Lionel. Hollins.
However, everyone knows the gold content of this award.
The Nets were able to win 73 wins in the regular season and win the championship, which has nothing to do with the head coach, and almost all the credit is Wang Chao's, from the selection of team builders to the formulation of team tactics, it is Wang Chao to decide, and the head coach is just a mascot for the team with him.
As for the two biggest awards of the season, the regular season MVP and the best defensive player DPOY, without exception, they were all won by Wang Chao.
No way, Wang Chao's dominance on the court is too strong, and in terms of DPOY awards, Wang Chao's main competitors are the Warriors' Green, the Rockets' Leonard and the Spurs' Howard.
In the end, Wang Chao received 51% of the votes, and the remaining three could only divide the remaining 49% of the votes.
The selection of the regular season MVP is even less suspenseful.
There are only two contenders for Wang Chao, Westbrook and Curry.
Curry's Warriors are close to Wang Chao's Nets in terms of record, but his personal data is too mediocre and he is unable to compete with Wang Chao at all, but Westbrook averages 30+10+10 triple-doubles per game, which can be compared with Wang Chao twice.
But Wang Chao not only has an average of 27+13+13 triple-double data per game, but also has a bonus of 73 wins in the regular season.
If there is no Wang Chao Yuzhu in front, Westbrook's shock caused by the miracle of three pairs on the spot can indeed make people ignore the problem of the team's record.
But before Westbrook, Wang Chao had averaged triple-doubles per game for four consecutive seasons and reached a triple-double per game for the fifth time this season.
The data is not competitive, the team's record is still very different, and even the local media reporters in the United States who want to favor local players can't find any reason or excuse.
No matter how biased they are, they still have to make judgments based on their own attitude as a public media, and they can't reverse black and white.
In the first two seasons, Curry of the Warriors had a reason to win the regular season MVP, and although it was a little untenable, at least it could be explained by force.
But Westbrook, no matter how hard it is forced, will not win the regular season MVP.
Therefore, the final result is that Wang Chao won the regular season MVP for the sixth time in his career with an absolute vote advantage of 37%.
Don't underestimate the 37% vote rate, there are three votes for the regular season MVP selection, and even if you get 100% of the first vote, the vote rate is only 38.46%.
It is commendable that Wang Chao can get such a high vote rate when he is ostracized by the local media in the United States.
It's just that in this way, the accumulation of honor of Wang Chao, the honor harvester, has reached an almost exaggerated level.
8 championships, 7 FMVP trophies, 6 MVP trophies, 4 DPOY trophies.
As for those small honors, 7 scoring titles, 5 season triple-doubles, best team, first defense, All-Star starters, etc., I don't even bother to watch them.
These honors are close to each other, and it is true that even Jordan, the former first person in the league, has to bow down, which is too hard!
What is even more terrifying is that the current 34-year-old Wang Chao has no tendency to decline in his state, and the honor will continue to accumulate in the future, reaching a level that future generations can only look up to.
——
The NBA's awards ceremony can only be regarded as decent, not interesting, but the ratings and reviews are so-so, so it also gives the league the confidence to continue to hold it.
In this regard, Wang Chao just wants to say, it's very good, don't do it next time.
It's fast coming to the end of June, and as we head into July, the free market will officially begin.
This year's free agency market has been turbulent, with many top stars expiring their contracts.
Supernatural Wang is the biggest big fish in the free market, but under him, there are also two-time regular season MVP Stephen Brown. Curry, Clippers All-Star Blake. Griffin, Kyle of the Raptors. Lowry and a number of other star players are out of contract.
However, the vast majority of these players are inclined to renew their contracts with their parent clubs.
On July 1, after the free market opened, the Warriors took the lead in announcing that they had signed a five-year, $201 million contract with star Curry, which successfully replaced Conley as the largest contract in league history, and Curry also became the first Mr. 200 million in league history.
The Warriors are willing to give Curry such a sky-high contract, not only to compensate for his previous child labor contract, but also to appease the two-time MVP winner, after all, the Warriors have not won a championship for so many years, and it is difficult to guarantee that Curry will not have the idea of leaving the Warriors.
With Curry taking the lead, other teams in the league have also taken action, and the Clippers have signed Griffin to a five-year, 173 million extension.
'09 champion Blake. Griffin's performance at the beginning of his career was very good, worthy of the name of the champion, but with the rise of the 09 duo Curry and Harden, Griffin's position is somewhat awkward, especially in recent years, under the leadership of Paul, the Clippers have not had good results in the playoffs, and Griffin has been affected by age and injuries, and his strength has inevitably begun to decline after the explosiveness of survival has decreased.
With the signing of this contract, Griffin will also officially become the representative of the garbage contract, although in the next two years, Griffin can still contribute an average of about 20+7 star data per game, but after that, the performance began to dive high, and injuries continued.
As for the Raptors' 3-year, $100 million contract extension Lowry is a good choice, although Lowry does not belong to the kind of player with explosive personal data, but his ability can definitely rank among the top point guards in the league at this stage, and he is the main player for the Raptors to remain competitive.
In addition to contract extensions, the league also had several high-profile deals on July 1.
The biggest of these was the Oklahoma City Thunder, who sent Sabonis and Ty. Gibson plus a first-round pick and traded All-Star small forward Paul from the Indiana Pacers. George.
This deal caused a lot of shock in the league, although Westbrook failed to win the regular season MVP, but the average triple-double data per game in the season is still shocking, and it is an indisputable fact that this season is a single-core leader to enter the playoffs, with George joining, the Thunder's combat effectiveness will surely rise next season.
At this time, the league did not know that the Thunder had begun to brew a Big Three plan, they not only wanted Westbrook + George's partner, but also wanted to introduce a third Big Three to form a Big Three configuration, and their target was Cameron of the New York Knicks. Anthony.
In addition to the management of the Thunder team, only Wang Chao, a traverser, knew about this matter, not only knew that the Thunder did get Anthony to form a super triumvirate lineup, but also knew that this triumvirate combination failed.
In the 17-18 season, the Thunder, with the Big Three, won only 48 wins in the regular season, and was eliminated by the Utah Jazz 4-2 in the first round of the playoffs.
Just two years after the Big Three were formed, the team traded Anthony away.
The most important news this summer is Wang Chao's final destination, after all, which will directly determine the direction of the league's championship-winning situation.
And Wang Chao himself, in the period after winning the championship, has actually considered the team he wants to join.
In the middle of the season, he considered joining Joe's Charlotte Hornets.
The Hornets currently have Bushy Eyebrows Davis, Oladipo and Kemba. Walker's Charlotte trio combination is not bad, and with his joining, it is bound to become the biggest favorite to win the championship.
But this season with the Nets, to be honest, there is no interest in playing him.
The squad is too strong, and it's really not interesting to play.
This is really not Wang Chao Versailles, this is like playing an online game, the initial period of land development must be the most interesting and liver-hot time, and players are full of motivation to complete their goals.
But when the wasteland period is over, after the character level and attributes are improved, most of the games have become simple and boring brush games, and there is nothing else to do every day except for signing in online and completing a fixed task to receive rewards.
Whenever this happens, there are usually only two options in front of the player.
First, I quit the pit and abandon the game and don't play, and I can't experience any fun of the game anyway.
The second is to find a way to create some difficult challenges for yourself and rekindle the desire to challenge.
Wang Chao doesn't want to retire now, he is still a little curious about what the ultimate prize of the system is, but he really doesn't have much interest in winning the championship with the Nets this season, and in this case, he can only manually create some difficulty for himself.
With this in mind, Wang Chao gave up the option of the Wasp.
Bushy brother Davis is a first-guard player this season, and Oladipo will also usher in an explosive period next season. Walker, if he joins, he will really win the championship with his eyes closed, it's too boring.
Wang Chao only targeted teams that didn't have a strong star, and he quickly locked on the target.
When the whole league was paying attention to which team Wang Chao was next, no one noticed that the management of the Denver Nuggets offered the Rockets backup center Rudy for four years and $64 million. Goebel.
