"The Nuggets defeated the Nets 4-2 to win the first championship in team history!"

"Wang Chao fulfilled his promise to bring the first NBA championship in history to Denver!"

"The ninth title of my career has been achieved! Wang Chao's sword refers to the 11-crowned Lord of the Rings, Russell. ”

"Durant's dream was shattered again, and it turned out that if you want to win the championship, you still have to rely on Wang Chao."

"For the completion of the promise of winning the championship in Denver, where does Wang Chao go next? Will you stay with the Nuggets for the rest of your life, or will you continue to wander and bring championships to the rest of the league? ”

The news of the Nuggets' championship climbed rapidly on the day, dominating the front pages of major sports websites.

But in fact, fans are accustomed to Wang Chao's victory.

When he just won six championships and tied Jordan, people would be very surprised, surprised by Wang Chao's luck, and every time he could meet teammates with outstanding strength and his style of play.

When Wang Chao won the seventh crown and achieved two triple crowns, people went from surprise to shock, surpassing Jordan's six crowns with an understatement, what the hell is this?

By the time Wang Chao won the eighth championship of his career with the Nets, everyone was actually a little numb, and at this time they all realized that Wang Chao was really strong, and along the way, other players, whether it was Howard, Da Yao, Leonard, Durant and others, all had a chance to win the championship because of partnering with him.

If there is anything surprising about the Denver Nuggets' championship, it is that this is only the first year of the Nuggets' rebuild, and they actually won the championship under the leadership of Wang Chao.

Take a look at the Nuggets lineup, except for Wang Chao, the team does not have a second current All-Star, the best team player, although the team's young players have performed very well this season, Mitchell and Murray have played a little up and down in the playoffs, but the overall performance is still very good, both of them have scored more than 16+ points in the playoffs, and they are the most effective right-hand man around Wang Chao, Gobert's defense is needless to say, and even Rose and Kuzma on the bench have played remarkably.

There is no doubt that the value of these players will also rise after Wang Chao plays for a season.

It is worth mentioning that Gobert has actually begun to regret it.

This season, he is one of the league's top defensive towers, with a higher contribution value on the defensive end than Wang Chao, and is the strongest contender for the best defensive player.

Knowing this, if he chooses a short-term contract, he has every opportunity and ability to chase a contract with a maximum salary of more than 20 million per year.

But he signed a $15 million contract with the Nuggets, which he signed just last summer, which cost him a lot.

However, it is difficult to say this kind of thing, if he did not choose to join the Nuggets and play with Wang Chao, it is really unknown whether he can play, after all, during the four years of the Rockets, Gobert has been in a state of being left out in the cold, and there is no hope of turning over at all.

In any case, these players of the Nuggets, thanks to Wang Chao, are destined to become a class of players who have attracted much attention from the league.

And with the Nuggets winning the championship, those teams in the league that have not won a championship in team history are starting to move.

Wang Chao's targeted poverty alleviation policy has been implemented by two teams and has achieved remarkable results, and no one wants to miss an opportunity to let their own team take off.

Therefore, the free market has not yet begun, and several teams in the league have begun to operate actively, hoping to impress Wang Chao through their own efforts and sincerity, so that the modern basketball god will descend on their own teams.

The most aggressive teams are undoubtedly the Los Angeles Clippers, the former basketball god Jordan Joe's team, the Charlotte Hornets, and the far-away northern city of Toronto Raptors.

The Clippers have the blessing of Los Angeles, and the Hornets and Raptors are both currently the strongest teams in the East, and theoretically they are the next home that Wang Chao may join.

There are even bookmakers who have opened a list of odds for Wang Chao to join the team.

The eight teams in the league that have yet to win a championship include the Clippers, Hornets, Raptors, Pacers, Grizzlies, Timberwolves, Pelicans and Jazz.

Not many people know that Wang Chao has confirmed that he will join the Los Angeles Clippers next season, so the media has also launched a lot of discussion and research on this, which can be described as lively.

But in fact, this summer is definitely the year of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Not only will Wang Chao enter the free market, but also the Cavaliers' James, the Nets' Durant, Chris. Paul, Paul of Thunder. George and other superstars are out on contract, and no matter which one they can pursue, these stars can make a team at the bottom of the league go to the top team.

Although the most intriguing of them is Wang Chao, a cross-era superstar, since he only thinks about non-championship teams, those teams that have won the championship still focus on James and others.

In the original history, after returning to his hometown and winning a championship for the Cavaliers, James's mind was alive again, in order to further expand his influence, he chose to join the Los Angeles Lakers in 18, wearing a purple and gold jersey, and two years later with the thick eyebrows Anthony . Davis' arrival won the 2020 NBA championship.

It is not easy to say what choice James will make when Wang Chao has changed beyond recognition because of Wang Chao, but given Wang Chao's understanding of James's character, he may most likely still choose to leave the Cavaliers.

The reason is simple, the Cavaliers' chance to win the championship is gone.

Even if there is Embiid on the team, a player with outstanding strength and great potential, it is nothing more.

Tristan. Thompson, Iman. Shambaught, George. The garbage contracts of players like Hill completely clog up the Cavaliers' salary space.

After the end of this season, Embiid's rookie child labor contract will also end, and with his performance, the Cavaliers will have to pay a maximum salary contract if they want to keep him, and the starting salary will reach more than 25 million!

Coupled with the minimum 35 million to renew James, the Cavaliers have no chance of strengthening the team.

And that's just a hard condition for salary space.

In fact, after the Eastern Conference finals this season, Embiid vaguely expressed his desire to leave the Cavaliers.

It's not surprising that not everyone wants to play next to James, especially a player like Embiid who thinks he's going to be a superstar, and he wants to get more balls, more performances, and higher status, which is hard to come by James' side.

James can certainly help role players like JR Smith, Tristan Thompson, and Shambaugh get big contracts that are worth more than he is worth, and he can make his teammates better, but that definitely doesn't include star-caliber players.

This is the flaw of the ball-handling core, and the result of too much concentration of possession is that role players who shoot on the ball will play well, but players with autonomous offensive ability will have fewer opportunities to perform.

The same will happen to the teammates next to Wang Chao.

It can't be helped, who lets when they exist, handing the ball to them is the best solution for the team to win?

It is said that James wasted his teammates, but a closer look at his career, except for Wade, Bosh during the Heat Big Three, and Love during the Cavaliers, most of the other players played better than before, including Irving, who only played a career-high average of 25+3+6 per game in the regular season in the 16-17 season.

Even looking at it from the perspective of the future, Irving's best performance in the playoffs was 15-16 and 16-17, and then Irving did not prove himself in the playoffs, whether it was with the Celtics or the Nets.

There is still a difference between Embiid and Irving, if he wants to really give full play to his strength, he must be the first tactical core of a team, and he will definitely not reach the level of MVP level in the future next to James.

Of course, Embiid doesn't know what his future growth ceiling is, but he is definitely willing to try it, but he will still struggle to make this decision, after all, there is a lesson from Irving's departure, and now Irving is almost like a rat in Cleveland.

There are two more coalition projects to go before the free market opens.

The first is the 2018 draft on June 22.

In Wang Chao's opinion, the 18-year draft is definitely the highest quality draft year in recent years. Doncic, Trey. Yang, Colin. Sexton, Shay. Gilgeos. Alexander, Jalen Jr. Jackson and DeAndre. Ayton and other quality players.

Among these players, except for Ayton and Jackson on the inside, they are all super scorers who can contribute 20+ or even 30+ per game steadily in the future.

Unfortunately, the Clippers have multiple 18-year first-round picks, but the highest pick is only the 12th pick.

This pick was not even selected by Alexander, who was the lowest of these players.

However, in the original history, the Clippers selected Myers with the 12th pick. Bridges, who then traded him with the 11th pick to select Alexander's Hornets, acquired the potential star who could average 30+ points per game in the future and be named to the All-Round Team.

The following year, Alexander was used as a trade chip and was sent to the Thunder by the Clippers in exchange for Paul. George, who became a mainstay of the Thunder in the years that followed.

From the perspective of a traverser, Alexander's growth rate is still quite fast, averaging only 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game in his first season, but after being traded to the Thunder in the second season and being regarded as the core development of the team, his average data per game immediately increased to 19 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists.

In the 2020-21 season, the third season of Alexander's career, he was already able to contribute 23.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists.

In the 2022-23 season of Wang Chao's crossing, Alexander has been able to contribute an average of 31.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, but unfortunately the overall strength of the Thunder team is worse and finally failed to enter the playoffs.

Back to the present, the No. 11 pick is not the Hornets, it has been replaced by another team, and it is still unknown whether the other party is willing to trade with the Clippers.

And even if Alexander's growth rate is fast enough, it doesn't actually mean much to Wang Chao, after all, it is difficult for him to play well in his first season, which is completely different from Mitchell.

Although Mitchell was also a first-year rookie last season, he himself has a strong instant combat ability, even if there is no Wang Chao, according to the original history of being selected by the Jazz, Mitchell will average 20.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in his rookie season, and in the playoffs, he has become the main contributor to the Jazz's ability to advance to the second round of the playoffs with an average of 24.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game.

Alexander is different, he has a similar experience to Mitchell, joining a team that is not weak when he first enters the league.

In the 18-19 season, the Clippers fought very well, reaching the playoffs with an eighth record in the West, and Alexander also participated in all the games in the first round of the playoffs with the team, and his average playing time of 28.8 minutes per game is not a small amount for a first-year rookie.

But he could only average 13.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.

It can be seen that Alexander may have a good future, but he also needs at least one to two years of growth.

Wang's plan is to build the Clippers into a championship-winning team in the first year, so he won't consider the rookies that need to be developed.

In this regard, even the recognized duo of the class of 2018, Doncic and Trey. Yang is actually not a very good fit.

After thinking about it, Wang Chao didn't think about what to do with the Clippers' first-round pick, so he didn't provide the Clippers with any way to use the draft picks.

The current lineup of the Clippers team, in Wang Chao's opinion, is already quite strong.

The main player is small forward Tobias. Harris, the best sixth man Louis. Williams, league's leading scorer Danilo. Gallinari, along with several of Wang's old teammates, was sent to the Clippers' Montres as trade chips. Harrell, Norman. Powell and Malcolm. Brogdon.

What a bunch of bench bandits......

Wang Chao felt scary just by looking at it.

One thing to say, the Clippers are a bit similar to the Nuggets created by Wang Chao himself, there is no star player in the whole team, but the strength is very outstanding, and they are all high-quality players who can play highlights.

Wang Chao came to the Clippers and needed to polish it on the basis of the existing lineup, so that he could directly form a strong team that was enough to compete for the championship!

In this case, the draft really doesn't matter, after all, a team that plans to only stay for one season, is it necessary for Wang Chao to build a long-term lineup for it?

The simplest example, the Nets team he subconsciously built at the beginning, is the biggest obstacle on his way to winning the championship this season, although he didn't succeed in preventing him from winning the championship, but I still feel a little uncomfortable when I think about it.

As for the Nuggets' lineup, it is a helpless move, after all, without this lineup, it is really enough to beat the Nets, Warriors, Cavaliers and other superstar super teams.

It's just that what Wang Chao didn't expect was that because the Hornets were not the No. 11 pick in the first round, Alexander was not selected at the 11th pick, but was directly picked by the Clippers at the 12th pick.

In this regard, Wang Chao was unexpected, and he could only mourn for Alexander.

If he is selected by the weak team at the bottom of other leagues, maybe the first year will be regarded as the core training of the team, and he can play well.

But in the Clippers, according to the current roster structure of the Clippers, he really has no chance to play, after all, just in the position of guard, the Clippers have Luis. Williams, Powell, Brogdon, and Avery Avery . Bradley and four other stalwarts.

In the forward position, there are Harris, Gallinari and Harrell, where is there a chance for Alexander, who mainly plays on the outside?
