Chapter 371: After winning the championship, Wang Chao stayed at the Clippers?
Durant's Achilles tendon rupture season reimbursement is tantamount to the fall of the sky for the Nets and fans.
Without Durant, why would they be able to compete with the Clippers?
It's clear that the Brooklyn Nets are on the verge of falling on the Finals stage for the second year in a row.
Clippers fans are happy, although the team has always had the upper hand and has won the match point 3-1, after all, there is still a risk, even if it is a very small risk, in the game that is not won.
Now without Durant, the Nets have completely lost the capital to compete with the Clippers, and the championship has been won almost for nothing.
On the contrary, Wang Chao was not very satisfied with this result.
Because in his opinion, the Nets themselves are not the opponent of the Clippers at this stage, and they can obviously beat the opponent head-on, but because of injuries, this Finals has a feeling of not being able to win.
Wang Chao no longer needs to prove his dominance through a dignified victory, but he is still a little unhappy in his heart.
But no matter what, the dust has settled on this matter, and there is no reversal.
On June 10, in the fifth game of the finals, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the Clippers were in the lead throughout the fourth quarter of the game, defeating the Nets 120-106 and winning the NBA championship with a big score of 4-1.
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Staples Center streamers flew into the air, and all the Clippers fans screamed and shouted wantonly, venting their excitement in their hearts.
Including the Clippers players on the court, they also hugged each other excitedly.
Unexpectedly, I really won the championship!
The Clippers, who were on the verge of the playoffs last season, actually won the championship this season, and their lineup has not changed very much compared to last season, except for Wang Chao and Brooke. Outside of López, they are basically the original team.
But it is such a lineup, but in the playoffs, it has defeated the Lakers, Warriors, Nets and other giant teams and won the championship strongly.
After winning the championship, Wang Chao didn't show too much excitement.
For him, winning the championship is really a thing of the past.
Even if he didn't win the championship that year, it was big news.
This championship also made Wang Chao's overall championship number successfully double, reaching 10 times, which is far from the Lord of the Rings Bill. Russell's 11 crowns were just one step away.
Unlike Russell's only giant Celtics at the time, Wang Chao traveled to many teams and led different teammates to win championships respectively, which was significantly more difficult and golden.
In the five games of the finals, Wang Chao contributed an average of 36 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists per game to a triple-double, and was crowned FMVP in the finals without the slightest suspense.
As a result, Wang Chao's accumulation of great honors has reached 10 championships, 7 MVPs, and 9FMVP, and he is simply crazy and has no friends.
Compared with the statistics of Wang Chao's accumulation of honors, people are now more concerned about what Wang Chao will do next after winning the championship for the Clippers in the finals.
As is customary, he should rejoin a non-championship team and continue his poverty alleviation work.
In the past four years, Wang Chao has completed the first championship in team history for the Nets, Nuggets and Clippers, and the efficiency is terrifying.
If you add the Suns and Magic, Wang Chao has won the first championship in team history for five teams.
This achievement is absolutely unprecedented, unprecedented, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to come again.
Although Wang Chao will be 37 years old next year and is already an out-and-out veteran, as long as there is a chance to get Wang Chao, no team in the league will definitely refuse.
There are no championships yet, and there are only seven left in the league, namely the Charlotte Hornets, New Orleans Pelicans, Toronto Raptors, Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies, and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Which of these seven teams has a chance to get Wang Chao, at least for now, it can't be seen from Wang Chao's attitude.
But Wang Chao is actually thinking about this as well.
The reason why he will travel to multiple teams to win the championship is actually a long-term task given by the system, the championship savior.
Without knowing what specific rewards the system would give, Wang Chao embarked on the road of a nomadic dynasty and successfully got a three-consecutive crown dynasty of the Nets, Nuggets, and Clippers that only belonged to him.
Next, he can naturally continue to join other teams to compete for the championship, and there are many teams with good operational feasibility, such as the Toronto Raptors and Charlotte Hornets, both of which are teams with good instant combat power, as long as he parachutes over, he will immediately become the favorite to win the championship.
Of course, both teams are currently short of salary space, but this is not a problem, as long as Wang Chao is willing to join, they will definitely do everything possible to free up enough salary space.
But Wang Chao has two other issues in mind.
First, Candace is pregnant, and her due date is around August.
If he joins another team, he will be separated for a long time after the birth of his child.
Wang Chao played in the Nets for two years, which can be regarded as growing up with Xiao Keer, and it is not good to favor one over the other.
On the other hand, there is another thing that Wang Chao has been thinking about.
That was the mask incident that began to rage at the end of '19.
Wang Chao is not sure if there will be a mask incident in this time and space, but if it does, it will be a very dangerous event.
Although Wang Chao's influence is not big enough to directly change and erase this possibility, with his financial resources, there is definitely no problem in protecting his family in advance with prevention.
Whether or not that happens in this world, he must be prepared in advance.
As one of the most prosperous and largest cities in the whole country, Los Angeles has the best medical facilities in the world.
Don't look at the mask incident, the United States is embarrassed, and there are many deaths due to the mask problem, but in fact, the rich have perfect medical facilities and environment, and the mortality rate is very low.
To sum up, Wang Chao is now seriously considering the idea of staying in Los Angeles for an extra year.
After all, the remaining teams that have not won the championship, in addition to Toronto, Canada, where the Raptors are located, the largest is Salt Lake City, where the Utah Jazz are located.
These cities are obviously not at the same level as Los Angeles and New York.
Toronto may barely qualify, but the problem is that it is located in the bitter cold of the north, where can Wang Chao and his family trot to be comfortable in the warm climate of the beach and ocean in Los Angeles?
After some consideration, Wang Chao made a decision and picked up his mobile phone to dial the general manager of the Clippers.
Clippers General Manager's Office.
Jerry. West hung up the phone, and the sadness on his face faded.
Wang Chao just called, indicating that he wants to exercise the player option for the next year and continue to stay with the Clippers for one more season.
West couldn't believe his ears.
When the finals just ended, no one in the Clippers management thought that Wang Chao would stay, after all, in the past two years, he has successively built the Nets and Nuggets, two strong teams, and after winning the championship, he left directly without any nostalgia, and there is no reason to change his mind in the Clippers.
Moreover, the Clippers are under tremendous pressure to renew his contract this summer, including Tobias. Harris, Malcolm. Brogdon and Brooke. A number of key players, including López, will face contract renewal issues when their contracts expire.
The above three players are not low in value now, Harris has made it clear that he wants to renew his contract with a maximum salary, and Brogdon and Lopez also want to get a contract with an average annual salary of more than 15 million.
The Clippers currently have Wang Chao's 30 million contract and Gallinari's 20 million contract in the team, and it is basically impossible to leave all the championship-winning credits.
In this case, Wang Chao is still willing to stay with the Clippers, what does this mean?
Los Angeles is still fragrant!
Since Wang Chao is willing to stay in Los Angeles for an extra year, it is possible that he will choose to renew his contract after the expiration of his contract next year, even if Wang Chao was 38 years old at that time, but so what?
Look at the combat effectiveness shown by Wang Chao this season, is there any attenuation? Even if Wang Chao's state really declines due to age, as long as the ability to shoot outside three-pointers and organize tandems is still there, he is definitely worth the price of the top salary.
If he could, West would like to raise Wang Chao until the day he couldn't get through and retired.
It's just that since Wang Chao chose to stay in the team, the team's next trading operation has little to do with West, the general manager.
Wang Chao's ability to see people has long been known in the league, and there is basically no player he values who can't play.
With such a talent, it is the biggest waste to let the general manager take care of the transaction and recruitment.
The news of Wang Chao's decision to stay with the Clippers for a year was not announced immediately.
After all, Wang Chao also wants to take advantage of the information gap to operate in the free market.
Staying with the Clippers doesn't mean lying flat.
With the current salary space of the Clippers, the three main players whose contracts expire can only be left at most, Wang Chao prefers to keep Lopez, after all, it is easy to find shooters on the outside, and it is rare to find a functional center like Lopez who protects the basket on the inside and can shoot three-pointers on the outside.
Of course, these operations are all after the opening of the free market.

On June 25, 2019, the NBA Awards ceremony was held in Los Angeles.
Although the response to the previous awards ceremonies was not very good, the league still insisted on continuing this event, and gradually made fans accustomed to it, creating an Oscar belonging to the NBA.
It's just that there is no suspense in the award presentation of the NBA awards ceremony, and the viewing is indeed not high enough.
The winner of the best rookie is Doncic of the Grizzlies, who averaged 21 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6 assists per game this season can only be described as luxurious.
The Sixth Man of the Year was defeated by the Clippers' Luis Brown. Williams won, although because of the arrival of Wang Chao, Lu Wei's data has dropped significantly from last season's 22.6 points and 5 assists, and the average data per game is only 16.4 points and 4.8 assists, but the Clippers' league-wide record is real.
And there are statistics that when Lowe came on the court this season, the Clippers could outscore their opponents by 3.8 points, which was an absolute winning hero.
The Most Improved Player award went to the Nuggets' Kyle. Kuzma.
Kuzma averaged 17+8 per game this season, beating Siakam, who had 16.9 points and 6.9 rebounds for the Raptors, and won this award.
The best defensive player was eventually won by the Nuggets' Rudy. Gobert won, the second year in a row he has won the award, and the first player in the league to win back-to-back DPOY awards since Wang Chao.
As for the final prize of the season, the MVP of the regular season, there is no suspense in the result, and Wang Chao still won it with a very high number of votes.
No matter how picky the local media in the United States is about Wang Chao and picking bones in the eggs, there is nothing they can do.
As a media, at least superficial fairness and justice must be achieved.
Looking at the whole league this season, in terms of team records, individual performance and other aspects, who can compare with Wang Chao?
Even the closest player to Wang Chao has only one Bucks' alphabet brother Antetokounmpo in the league.
However, Brother Alphabet is far inferior to Wang Chao in terms of personal data and team records, and all high-level data are also Wang Chao's slaughter list.
Up to now, the media reporters in the United States have also chosen to lie flat with a little broken jars.
Anyway, it's useless to struggle, Wang Chao's domination of the NBA is already an established fact, so it is naturally an award that belongs to him, so it will be awarded to him neatly.
7 MVPs or 8 MVPs, is there any difference for the current Wang Chao?
As a result, in the 2018-19 season, Wang Chao once again won the championship, MVP and FMVP at the same time, and once again added an important honor to his personal honor book.
——
After the awards ceremony, the 2019 draft will follow.
It's also a big year for the draft, which can be called a lot of quality players.
The biggest favorite for the champion is Zion, a small forward who claims to have the strongest body in history. Williams.
Nike is very optimistic about this scary young player with strong physique, and the other party has already received a sky-high sneaker endorsement contract before joining the league.
But then it was clear to everyone that Zion broke his boot after only 34 seconds of playing in the NCAA finals, and even sprained his right knee as a result.
The incident wiped out $1.3 billion from Nike's stock market. Williams made Nike lose a lot of money before he even started making money for Nike.
Of course, you can't blame Zion, who made your shoes so unbearable?
In Wang Chao's opinion, Zion does have a more terrifying body and strength than James, but this is not necessarily a good thing for him, his weight is too big, but his bones are not as strong as his body, which can be seen from Zion's continuous injuries and stops.
When Zion first entered the league, he was considered a super rookie who surpassed James physically, but it was only a few years later that people realized that James was the strongest man in the history of the league.
This is not simply a matter of who is stronger, James's strength, muscle coordination, and injury resistance are all top-notch, and he is extremely self-disciplined, and it is impossible for something like Zion's injury to be suspended for a few months and directly become a ball in James.
It is precisely because of the combination of the above characteristics that James has been able to participate in the game efficiently for more than ten years, and later broke the league's all-time scoring and launched an attack towards the 411 siege.
You can criticize James's mental attributes and playing style, but this alone is absolutely unacceptable.
Some people always say that James's scoring data is brushed and not worth mentioning, but is it possible to brush up an all-time scoring champion, which is an extremely difficult thing in itself?
