NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 141 Overall ability score 94 and perpetual motion shooter badge

The 2005 Finals, like the original historical process, was still San Antonio vs. the Detroit Pistons. Two teams that advocated defense brought a drowsy defensive battle to audiences across the United States and even the world.

This is the truth. Even fans who like to watch defensive battles will find it difficult to be interested in this kind of game. The two teams played seven games, and in five of them, the losing team scored only 70+ points. Most of the games were big games. In a crushing game with a leading score, the only one where the winner was determined until the last minute under extreme defense was the Spurs' 5:96 95-point overtime victory over the Pistons in Game 1 of the Finals.

This resulted in the game between the Spurs and Pistons becoming the NBA Finals with the lowest ratings in recent years.

NBA Commissioner David Stern looked at it and shook his head, feeling very sorry at the same time.

If this year's finals is the Lakers vs. the Heat, what kind of card will it be like?

In O'Neal's battle of revenge, Wang Chong and Wade killed each other...

These gimmicks alone are enough to attract a large number of fans to flock to the event.

"What a pity. Next season, in terms of schedule and referee standards, we need to give the Lakers and Heat more preferential treatment in order to achieve this script."

Stern is a standard businessman. His development plan for the NBA has always been based on commercialization, whether it was the shaping and support of Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, or the subsequent generations of superstars in the league. The hype has Stern’s shadow behind it.

I have to admit that Stern is indeed a great person. Under his management, the NBA has risen from the bottom of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States to a shaky position and has become the most commercially successful professional league. Both players and teams have earned a lot of money. With a lot of success, its influence continues to increase. It is currently ranked third among the four major leagues, and many people even think it is the second largest league in the United States.

Including that after Stern retires in the future, new TV broadcast agreements will be signed, and billion-dollar contracts will become commonplace for players, and Stern has contributed a lot to this.

Later, many fans felt that the NBA was too utilitarian, even to the point of manipulating games for ratings, and it was all Stern's fault.

But this kind of thing must be viewed from two aspects. Without Stern's series of operational measures, the NBA may have been officially disbanded during several labor agreement negotiations, and it would not even be possible to watch games in the future.

As for the various disgusting operations of the alliance later on, there was nothing that could be done about it, because in the later stages of the alliance's development, it was already controlled by capital, and it was no longer something that one or two people could decide or change.

As far as Wang Chong himself is concerned, he doesn't want to think about these deeper things.

His purpose of playing in the NBA is very simple. First, to make money. Second, to be famous and show off. Third and most importantly, the system allowed him to travel back in time and gave her a super buggy plug-in. .

It would be a waste if such a useful thing is not put to good use.

Anyway, Wang Chong can gain both fame and fortune by playing in the NBA, which is enough. He has no interest or ability to take care of other messy things.

After the Lakers stopped in the Western Conference Finals, Wang Chong's system task rewards also officially entered the settlement.

Since he failed to defeat the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, he could only watch the third and fourth levels of system task rewards eagerly, and then received his own second level reward.

2000 points and a random silver badge reward.

As a reward for the silver badge, Wang Chong was given another badge that could be used with a pretty good effect - the perpetual motion shooter.

This is a fatigue badge, and its effect is to increase the negative impact on shooting when your physical strength is low.

This is exactly the badge Wang Chong needs. Physical fitness has always been an important factor limiting Durant's performance, and the fatigue badge can effectively alleviate the offensive stability of players when they are insufficient in physical fitness.

Durant also owns this badge, and the badge level is still gold level.

Wang Chong now has a silver-level perpetual motion shooter. Although the effect is not as strong as the gold-level, it is still better than nothing. Moreover, even if the effect of the badge is only the lowest level bronze, it can play a good role as long as you have it.

As for the 2000 points, Wang Chong didn't keep any more and used them directly to strengthen template fusion.

But this time's enhancement is not as much as the last 2000 points. Wang Chong's overall ability score has only been enhanced from 93 to 94, and his shooting-related abilities have not been significantly improved. Only close-range shooting has improved from 95 to 96. 92 is increased to 94, the ability to draw fouls is increased from to , and then various defensive abilities are slightly improved.

What has changed a lot are the qualities and abilities that have not changed for a long time.

This enhancement actually directly enhanced all of Wang Chong's physical abilities to their peak.

Speed ​​80, agility 80, physical strength 92, strength 63, jumping 77, and explosive power 83.

The ability values ​​of the above qualities have all reached the upper limit of the Durant template.

This also means that by strengthening this path through points, Wang Chong will no longer have any chance to improve in these abilities. I am afraid that it will be difficult to improve through hard training.

Wang Chong believes that he will definitely have the opportunity to further improve these abilities in the future. After all, it cannot be explained logically.

With a dignified system, it is impossible to limit the host's growth limit to a mere character growth template. If this were the case, Wang Chong's ultimate limit would only be Durant.

Durant is very good, but looking at the history of the league, he is not even ranked in the top ten.

Wang Chong, who has a system, must follow Jordan no matter what his goals are, and work hard towards his goals and direction toward the God of Basketball.

Therefore, he can be sure that there will be ways to continue to improve his strength in the future of the system, but it should not appear until Durant's growth template card is fully integrated.

Judging from the frequency of tasks released by the system and task rewards in these two seasons, Wang Chong has raised his overall ability value to 97, and it only takes one to two seasons at most to reach Durant's peak ability value.

In other words, before the end of his four-year rookie contract, Wang Chong is absolutely certain to tie up with Durant at his peak, and that's when the system should really start to work.

-

The finals ended with the Spurs defeating the Pistons 4:3 to win the championship.

This is also the second time the Spurs have won the championship in three years. Duncan's third career championship also allowed him to be crowned Finals FMVP for the third time.

Thanks to O'Neal's success in winning his fourth championship and fourth FMVP with the Lakers last year, otherwise he would have started to sweat by this time.

Even so, Duncan, who won the third championship of his career, is still almost on par with O'Neal in terms of accumulation of honors.

Although there is one less championship and FMVP than O'Neal, Duncan won the regular season MVP for two consecutive years in the 01-02 and 02-03 seasons.

这让邓肯的大荣誉累计达到了2+3+3，也就是2MVP，3FMVP和3座总冠军。

O'Neal's total major honors are 1+4+4. Although there are 4 FMVPs and championships, O'Neal only has one regular season MVP, which symbolizes the highest personal honor.

This actually has a great impact on players' assessment of their historical status.

Looking at the top ten players in the league, especially the top five, they basically have both individual honors and team honors, and they all have at least two or more regular season MVPs. Of course, the championship and FMVP are even more important as a reference. Some.

O'Neal was at a disadvantage because he only had one MVP in the regular season, which resulted in him being ranked at the bottom when the historical status was later evaluated.

Later, many James fans believed that this was the reason why James ranked second in history.

If you don’t carefully consider James’ championship process and just look at the accumulation of honors, then his 4+4+4 honors are indeed enough to play. Counting the honor of surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the all-time scoring champion, he sits in the second seat in history. There's actually nothing wrong with it.

But if you take a closer look at this thing, it will be completely useless. James's foundation is really too weak. The road to winning the championship is full of various black spots such as grouping, hurdles, and the sixth person refereeing.

It must be admitted that James, who was born in high school, has a much smarter brain than many NBA players who have completed college. He has paved a path to success for himself, and through each decision and choice, he has transformed this path. Much simpler.

But it's a pity that Wang Chong came out of nowhere. In this era, nothing will happen without James. Unless James intensifies his efforts, abandons the team-building strategy, intensifies his efforts, imitates Durant, and directly joins a strong championship team, otherwise he will be in the same year as James. Wang Chong entering the league will make his entire career dark.

In fact, Wang Chong has already done this.

Since his rookie season, James has been in the shadow of Wang Chong.

MVP of the Rookie Challenge, the first player to win the championship in 03, MVP of the Athens Olympics, and then All-Star MVP and Best Second Team this season.

During the competition with Wang Chong, the only time James won was the Rookie of the Year selection, but on that occasion he was ruthlessly ridiculed, thinking that he won the Rookie of the Year because of the league's support and was not worthy of the name.

Including the fact that the Lakers are now in the Western Conference Finals, Wang Chong's outstanding performance in the playoffs is still praised by many media, and these media also did not forget to drag out James, the first draft pick in 03, and beat him to death.

"If the Cavaliers had selected Wang Chong with the No. 1 pick, maybe the team would have entered the playoffs."

"Wang Chong is only the second core player in the Lakers. He has less ball distribution and shooting rights than James, but he can score more points than James. Although James is also very good, there is still a certain gap between him and Wang Chong."

"Snapped!"

Turning off the TV with the remote control, James looked gloomy and was in a terrible mood.

What bothers him most now is that others compare him to Wang Chong.

James was not convinced at all by Wang Chong, nor did he think Wang Chong was really much better than him.

Wang Chong was just lucky enough to join the Lakers and have top teammates in the league like O'Neal and Kobe beside him.

If Wang Chong comes to the Cavaliers, he really may not be able to perform better than himself.

"Jingle Bell……"

Just then, James' cell phone rang.

After answering the call, he just listened to a few sentences and couldn't help but suddenly stood up from the sofa, with a surprised expression on his face.

"What did you say? Wang Chong was put on the shelf by the Lakers?"

What the hell is this? James never imagined that why would the Lakers choose to trade Wang Chong, even though his performance in the playoffs was not inferior to Kobe's?

Is it because the conflicts between Kobe and Wang Chong during the regular season could not be reconciled, and the Lakers can only choose one of the two, just like O'Neal last season?

This is great news for James.

A moment ago, he was still angry because Wang Chongming was lucky to join a wealthy team like the Lakers and suppressed him by playing well.

As soon as he turned his face, Wang Chong was about to be sold by the Lakers.

No matter how bad you are, without the Lakers and Kobe, let’s see what kind of performance you can perform next season!

James, who was extremely happy in his heart, suddenly froze, and a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Since the Lakers have publicly put Wang Chong on the shelf, they must want to raise the price and choose the team with the best chips among all the teams that have made offers... In this case, is it possible for the Cavaliers to win Wang Chong?"

Once this idea came into being, it was like a big tree taking root and sprouting, growing and spreading in James' mind.

As a competitor, Wang Chong is very annoying because it will seriously threaten James' status.

But if Wang Chong comes to the Cavaliers and becomes his helper, the situation will be completely different!

Wang Chong is good at mid-to-long-range shooting, which just fits the style of James who is good at breaking through with the ball.

This season James has discovered that after he breaks through with the ball to attract double-teams and passes the ball out to the outside, it is difficult for his teammates to directly convert his wonderful pass into scoring assists. This is completely a reflection of the player's lack of ability.

If it is Wang Chong, he will definitely be able to throw in his pass. While Wang Chong scores, he also adds an assist to James, and it also solves the problem that James has been troubled by not having a good helper. Wouldn't it be nice to have the best of both worlds?

Thinking of this, James immediately called the Cavaliers general manager.

……

Wang Chong was publicly put on the shelf, causing a huge sensation throughout the league, and the level of attention was no less than last year's Sharks Journey East.

After all, although O'Neal has been famous for a long time, he is still at the end of his career. Most people generally believe that O'Neal's peak period can only last two to three years at most. After the age of 35, his competitive status will decline rapidly with age.

But Wang Chong is different. Wang Chong will officially turn 7 in July this year. His career is still very long, and he still has a period of improvement. Based on his performance in these two seasons, it is only a matter of time before Wang Chong becomes the league's top superstar.

Are the Lakers out of their minds? Why did he choose to trade Wang Chong?

The most confused ones are Lakers fans.

After the season ended, they were still thinking about the bright future of the Lakers, debating how many championships the Ke-King combination could win and whether there was a chance to surpass the OK combination.

With this twist of face, Wang Chong was about to be traded, and no one else would be able to accept it for a while.

Immediately, some fanatical fans protested in front of the Lakers with slogans such as "We want Wang Chong" and "Shit management".

There are even many extreme fans who blame Kobe for this debt.

"You drove away Shaq, and now you want to drive away Wang Chong? Kobe, the Lakers are not your team alone! If you want to leave, you better get out!"

To be honest, these words are not unfair at all.

No one is a fool. The Lakers' record has been declining since the All-Star Game. The main reason is that Kobe takes a lot of shots and various unreasonable offenses lead to the team always collapsing in the fourth quarter and being reversed by the opponent.

Everyone knows why Kobe did this, because Wang Chong performed well during his absence, averaging more points per game than him, and looking likely to become the core of the Lakers' main offense. Kobe was worried that Wang Chong would steal his ball. He is the boss of the team, so he seizes power on the field.

However, the fans did not know why the conflict between the two suddenly disappeared. Kobe seemed to suddenly stop messing around like that, and no longer struggled with the fact that Wang Chong averaged higher points per game than him. The Lakers The following regular season performance was still good, and after entering the playoffs, they performed even better, defeating two powerful opponents, the Mavericks and the Suns.

I thought that the conflict of interest between the King of Science and Technology had been resolved through internal negotiations, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

It seems that at that time, the Lakers had already thought about trading Wang Chong away from the team after the season.

I'm afraid Kobe also knows this, so he gave up on competing with Wang Chong.

But Lakers fans who figured this out became even more angry.

To them, Kobe is like a troublemaker. If it weren't for him, O'Neal would still be with the Lakers, and they would most likely still win the championship this season. That would be five championships in six years, or even six championships in seven years. possible!

Even without O'Neal, the Kewang combination will still be a top combination with the potential to compete for the championship in time.

But Kobe can't tolerate O'Neal, nor can he tolerate Wang Chong. His desire to control the ball and the team's status is simply pathologically paranoid.

It would be difficult for any normal Lakers fan to accept this fact.

The Lakers management and Kobe were scolded bloody, but they were also helpless.

After the season ended, it wasn't like they didn't work hard.

The Lakers management team and the coaching staff formed a lobby group. They talked with Wang Chong for several days, trying to persuade Wang Chong to stay as much as possible. They even persuaded Kobe to take action and faced Wang Chong's personal promise. , the following season, the two were both the core of the team's offense, sharing the ball equally on the field.

<divclass="contentadv"> Kobe was actually not happy to make such a promise, but this playoff trip also made him clearly realize the value of Wang Chong. It is clear that as long as Wang Chong is with him, With help around him, it is only a matter of time before he wins the championship.

Moreover, if the two share the ball equally and the statistics are close, he will still be the undisputed team leader of the Lakers, so he reluctantly came forward and made the promise in person.

If it were any other player who was treated with such courtesy and even the team leader Kobe Bryant personally promised him equal status in the team, he would definitely burst into tears and agree in a hurry.

But unfortunately they were facing Wang Chong.

Wang Chong, who traveled back from the future, knows Kobe's character better than anyone else.

Kobe has never been a player willing to admit that others are better than him.

No matter how nice you say it, once you get on the field, it won't make sense just by talking.

Including the next 12-13 season, Howard will join the Lakers, and Kobe also personally promised that Howard will become the core of the Lakers' tactics.

But as the game went on, it became Kobe's personal show again.

Nash became a fixed-point three-point shooter, and Howard became completely blue-collar.

It is true that Nash was already old at that time, and Howard was also affected by injuries and his strength had declined, but you still gave him enough power to take action.

Throughout his entire season with the Lakers, Howard averaged only 10.7 shots per game. Compared to Kobe, who averaged 20.4 shots per game, he was indeed a blue-collar player.

Never mind how touching it was that Kobe Bryant scored 40+ and 30+ points in a row until he ruptured his Achilles tendon in order to drag the team into the playoffs at the end of the season. The objective fact is that his field goal percentage during the regular season reached 57.8%. Howard only ranks fourth in the team in the number of shots taken, even lower than Pau Gasol and Artest.

Therefore, Wang Chong doesn't believe Kobe's so-called nonsense about sharing the ball. Once on the court, Kobe's paranoia comes up, and it's strange that he can touch the ball.

Durant has also experienced the same situation, that is, when he was with the Thunder, Westbrook became reckless and didn't care about the team boss. He just carried the basketball and fucked hard, and finally did the classic sentence "The only one who can guard Durant is Russell" is a famous saying.

How dare Westbrook, the second-best player in a team, be so reckless, let alone Kobe, who is recognized as the team's boss?

Taking a step back, even if Kobe can really do what he says, will Wang Chong be satisfied?

Kobe is now 26 years old and can at least maintain his peak period for 6 to 8 years. Should he be allowed to remain the second in command of the team for ten years? He will be 30 years old by then!

Lu Fengxian, a famous rebel in the Three Kingdoms, once said: A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time?

Although Wang Chong is like this, he is actually very high-spirited and is not someone who willingly acts as someone else's younger brother.

Especially now, Wang Chong is full of wings and has a comprehensive ability score of 94. He is already at the level of a first-line superstar. He has more than ten badges to support him. Even if he joins a team and serves as the core boss of the team, it is more than enough. He does not want to leave at this time. When will it be more?

So no matter how sincerely the Lakers management tried to persuade Wang Chong to stay, Wang Chong still insisted on applying for a trade.

The Lakers also saw that Wang Chong was determined to leave and could not be retained, so they publicly announced that they would put Wang Chong on the shelf and asked the price in the market, hoping to find a high-quality offer as much as possible and minimize losses.

In fact, having said that, the Lakers didn't pay much to get Wang Chong at all. They just used an unimportant role player in the team plus a first-rounder and a second-rounder to trade Wang Chong from the Hornets. At that time, no one could have imagined that , Wang Chong has grown so fast. In only the second season of his career, he can average nearly 29+9 per game in both the regular season and the playoffs.

According to this logic, even if Wang Chong leaves the team, as long as he can get some good bargaining chips, it will actually still be an extremely cost-effective deal for the Lakers... The Lakers management can only comfort themselves in this way.

They probably never dreamed that in the next few years to more than ten years, they would regret giving up Wang Chong because of Kobe.

-

Regarding the question of where to go, Wang Chong himself had not thought about it.

But small ball markets in remote rural areas are definitely not considered.

On the one hand, Wang Chong does not have the temperament to accompany a weak team to grow up, and on the other hand, he does not like the basketball atmosphere in small cities.

Now that we are all standing on the NBA stage, we naturally want to pursue a radiant look under the spotlight, and this directly determines the quality of our daily life.

This is just like the difference between Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and remote cities such as Tibet and Xinjiang.

However, it still depends on how many teams are interested and how much chips they are willing to pay.

Wang Chong’s appeal is undeniable. He is young and powerful and is a potential stock that is basically stable in terms of growth. Who wouldn’t want to buy it?

In the short time since the Lakers put Wang Chong on the shelf, a large number of teams came to inquire about the price, and the popularity even surpassed the annual draft.

The 2005 draft, like previous years, was held at the Madison Square Garden Arena in New York at the end of June.

Because Wang Chong's arrival had some impact on the league team's record and fanned the wings of butterflies, the draft picks in this draft also had a lot of fluctuations.

However, the draft picks such as the No. 1 pick, No. 2 pick, and No. 3 pick are the same as before.

Therefore, Andrew Bogut, the No. 05 pick in , was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Hawks, who held the second pick, selected forward Marvin Williams.

The future famous duo of 05, Deron Williams and Chris Paul, were also selected by the Jazz and the Hornets respectively.

The main difference occurs with the Lakers. Because the Lakers broke into the Western Conference Finals this season under the leadership of the Ko-Wing duo, and also recorded 55 wins in the regular season and ranked fifth in the Western Conference, they did not get No. 10 as they originally did in history. Center Andrew Bynum was drafted.

This high school player was eventually selected by the Orlando Magic with the tenth overall pick in the first round because of his excellent talent.

The Magic selected center Dwight Howard as the top pick from high school last year. In fact, the demand for the center position is not that big, especially for Byner, who is also the top pick from high school. He has outstanding talent but his skills need to be polished for a long time before he can become an effective player. Damn, I can only lag behind the Magic.

But the brain circuit of the Magic management team is so different from ordinary people.

In fact, if it weren't for the Lakers' intervention, the Magic would have used the 11th pick in the first round to select center player Fran Vazquez.

What's even more shocking is that Fran Vazquez, who was still playing for Barcelona Basketball Club in the Spanish League at the time, refused to report to the NBA after being drafted. This also caused the Magic to lose all their valuable 05 lottery picks. .

In comparison, being able to select Bynum now is already a very good result.

The Magic's management probably wants to train Howard and Bynum at the same time, with one playing center and the other playing power forward. If both can play well, the Magic will have the top twin-tower combination in the league.

If one of the two high school players fails to reach the expected level of growth, at least there is a safety net.

The worst outcome is that both of them fail to fight... Well, it shouldn't be that unlucky, right?

In Wang Chong's view, the Magic's bet is not a foolish move. After all, no one in the world cheats except him. In the first season of Howard's career, in addition to showing top-notch dynamic talents and being able to run and jump, he also There is nothing else worthy of praise, his skills are rough, and his body is not considered strong among the league's centers. No one knows what the upper limit of his future growth is.

Howard became the league's top star in the Magic. At his peak, he was said to be able to replace James alone. This should not be a big problem.

But after Bynum changed his environment, without the careful guidance of a group of Lakers insiders, Wang Chong was not sure whether he could play well.

After all, this player is the type who will lie flat without supervision. If he squanders a few years with the Magic and doesn't polish his skills, it is not impossible that he will gradually become obsolete to everyone.

The Lakers, who only received the pick at the end of the first round, ultimately had no choice but to choose a French inside center named Johan Petro, hoping to supplement the team's weak inside strength.

However, the players at this pick are just bench substitutes.

After the draft, the time came to early July.

With the opening of the free market, teams in the league that were already ready to make a move have been busy submitting trade applications to the Lakers.

The freshly baked Wang Chong is on sale, this is the only one available, first come first served!

Although the Lakers could have just forcibly traded Wang Chong away without asking for his opinion.

But in order to get together and break up easily, and more importantly, the team that proposed the trade also wanted to know whether Wang Chong was willing to play for their team, so the Lakers management still took the initiative to seek advice from Wang Chong.

There are three teams that are interested in the first batch of chips for the Lakers, namely the Charlotte Bobcats, Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Clippers.

Among them, the Philadelphia 76ers and Bobcats showed the greatest sincerity, and the chip offered by the 76ers was actually Allen Iverson.

When Wang Chong saw that the 76ers actually wanted to trade Iverson for him, he was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

That was Iverson, the regular season MVP. He was able to defeat the top OK team in the 01 Finals. The famous "answer"!

Although Wang Chong played very well this season, he still ranked second in the scoring list with an average of 28.8 points per game. The first scorer in the scoring list was Iverson, who averaged 30.7 points per game.

But if you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense.

After several consecutive years of failure, the 76ers management has lost patience with Iverson. Although his strength is still there, averaging 30+ points per game is like chopping melons and vegetables, but so what? Still can't win, can't win a championship.

Even if the 76ers don't trade Iverson to acquire Wang Chong this year, they will still choose to trade Iverson to the Nuggets in two seasons.

There are many reasons why Iverson was given up by the 76ers management, including his continued decline in strength in the last two years, and his erratic personality, many conflicts with the management and coaching staff, and the reason why he always missed games innocently.

All in all, Wang Chong felt flattered that the 76ers actually traded Iverson for him. This also means that at least in the eyes of the 76ers management, his future development prospects and value are greater than that of this Philadelphia soul. of.

Although Wang Chong himself knew this clearly, the Philadelphia management, who did not have the ability to see and predict the future, made such a major decision, and the other party was indeed courageous enough.

However, the Lakers are actually quite confused about the 76ers' offer.

Iverson and Kobe have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years. Both of them are players with flamboyant personalities who refuse to admit defeat. If they are on the same team, they may start fighting on the spot.

Although the Lakers are very interested in Iverson, they have learned from the two incidents of O'Neal and Wang Chong and do not intend to introduce a player who may threaten Kobe's status and destroy the atmosphere of the locker room.

Compared to the 76ers, although the Bobcats did not offer as much chips as Iverson, they were full of sincerity. Boss Joe directly said that if the Bobcats liked anyone in the team, they would take it away as long as they could give Wang Chong. That's fine with me.

Although it is a new Eastern Conference team that has just been formed this season and its combat effectiveness is extremely weak, there are still some good players in the Bobcats lineup that can be used as bargaining chips, such as center Emeka Okafor, who just won the Rookie of the Year. The post player the Lakers desperately want.

Players such as Gerald Wallace and Primoz Brezek are also players with pretty good strength and potential.

In addition, the Bobcats are willing to give away two first-round picks as bargaining chips to get Wang Chong. Considering the Bobcats' poor lineup, the value of the draft picks in the next few years will still be very high.

The Lakers were very excited about this deal, but Wang Chong was not interested at all.

As the strongest star in the history of the NBA and the title of the God of Basketball, Joe is the one who knows the most about basketball among all NBA owners. Because of this, he is also the owner who has the strongest control over the team and often directly intervenes. Management's job.

While working hard, Gang Leader Qiao is basically the poorest boss in the league, so he is also one of the most stingy among team bosses.

It is completely conceivable that if Wang Chong went to the Bobcats, not only would he have to stay out of the playoffs with this bad team for years, but he would also be compared to team owner Jordan by various PUAs in the Charlotte media. And make accusations.

This is not nonsense. Since the establishment of the Bobcats, every player who has become the boss of the team will compare it with Jordan. This is the disadvantage of having the first owner in history.

Wang Chong has no interest in being PUA for a long time, and he can't complain about Jordan's talent selection. At the same time, he doesn't think he can influence Jordan's decision, and he doesn't think Jordan is willing to spend a lot of money to build a championship team. He buys the team. It's just to make money. As the team owner, Jordan is a standard capitalist. During the negotiation of the labor agreement, he was the staunchest supporter of the team owner.

Therefore, Wang Chong said "NO" directly to the Bobcats.

Although the Lakers were very tempted, Wang Chong's refusal was so straightforward that their plans failed.

The old gangster is not a fool. The prerequisite for being willing to give everything to the team as a bargaining chip is to make sure that Wang Chong will choose to renew his contract with the team when his rookie contract expires in two years. Otherwise, Wang Chong will just slap his ass and leave after two years. Wouldn't he? Like a chicken or a egg?

Even if the Lakers deceive him about this, it won't work, because Jordan has already received a reply from Wang Chong through his own personal channels.

As for the third team, the Los Angeles Clippers, the chips offered are quite average compared to the other two teams.

Forward Corey Maggette, who averaged 22 points and 6 rebounds per game this season, and center Chris Kaman, who was in the same class as Wang Chong and was the sixth pick in the first round of 03.

Both players have excellent immediate combat ability, but their ceilings are average, especially Kaman. He has high hopes for the Clippers but has not performed satisfactorily. Although he is still very young, his transaction value is completely higher than that of Wang Chong. Incomparable.

But after all, the Clippers still have a striker who has averaged 20+ points per game for two consecutive seasons as a bargaining chip, so they are also on the Lakers' radar.

In Wang Chong's view, of the three teams, the Clippers are the most reliable. On the one hand, the Clippers are located in the Los Angeles metropolis like the Lakers. On the other hand, there is another one in the Clippers team who has been underestimated. Elton Brand, the league's top power forward who has steadily contributed 20+10 points.

As a time traveler, Wang Chong knows very well that Brand can still maintain his peak period for at least two seasons. Before suffering a serious injury in the 07-08 season and ending the season, he was always an All-Star power forward who could stably get 20+10 data. .

With his help and Wang Chong, the Clippers' record is at least guaranteed. If they can make some reinforcements, they have a chance to win the championship.

But nothing is perfect, and the Clippers also have shortcomings, and that is team owner Donald Sterling.

Any fan who knows something about the NBA should be familiar with Sterling.

Because his racist remarks were exposed, Sterling became the only team owner to be kicked out by other team owners in the league and forced to sell the team.

Before he was exposed for making racist remarks, Sterling was already well-known in the league for being stingy, stingy, and arrogant. He brought his girlfriend into the team's locker room forcibly many times and made slanderous comments to the players on the court.

Wang Chong has learned about these off-court gossips, so he doesn't have the slightest fondness for the Clippers owner, and he doesn't intend to go to the Clippers to cause trouble for himself.

Fortunately, the first three teams were just asking for advice. Behind them, there were a large number of teams waiting to make offers. The Lakers did not intend to only choose among these three teams. They also used this to test Wang Chong. Attitude ideas.

In the first few days of the free market, there were rumors about the Wang Chong trade incident almost every day, and more than ten teams were involved.

This of course includes the Cleveland Cavaliers.

As soon as they saw the Cavaliers, the Lakers management paid great attention to it. However, after learning about the other party's bargaining chip, Lakers general manager Kupchak directly blocked the other party's contact information.

The opponent's actual words were, "Except for James, who is not for sale, the rest of our Cavaliers players are up to you to choose from!"

These words are heroic and generous, but look at who else is in the Cavaliers lineup besides James.

Big Z, Gooden, Varejao...

Are you sure you're not here to make fun of me?

Just these three melons and two jujubes want to come to them to exchange for Wang Chong? With this good thing in mind, it's better to buy two lottery tickets quickly, maybe you can win the first prize or something.
