Chapter 290: Breaking news! Wang Chao is leaving the Rockets!

(A big chapter of ten thousand words, I have been waiting for a long time.)

"The Rockets defeated the Cavaliers 4:2 and won the O'Brien Cup for the third consecutive year, becoming the fifth team in NBA history to achieve three consecutive championships and create a dynasty. The four teams that have achieved this achievement before are Kai

The Ertes, Bulls, Lakers and Magic are also the second dynasty team after the Magic's three consecutive championships."

"Beyond the legend! Average 32.4 points, 11 rebounds and 10.5 assists in the finals. Wang Chao was selected for FMVP with unanimous votes, seven championships, six FMVP with five MVPs. Wang Chao surpassed Jordan in top honors and became the strongest in the league's history! What's more terrifying is that Jordan is the best in history.

He was 35 years old when he won the sixth championship in his career, and Wang Chao was only 32 years old when he reached the seventh championship. He still had about 3 years to peak and could maintain an excellent competitive state within 5 years. Does Wang Chao have a chance to attack

Bill Russell's 11-winning NBA record?"

"Can the Rockets continue to be brilliant in the three consecutive championships? After the season ended, the team leader Yao Yao and veteran Lei Allen officially announced their retirement. The contracts of many players of the team expired. The Rockets management can do so in the summer offseason

Will you leave the championship team and continue to attack the championship?"

——

There are many chain reactions caused by the Rockets' championship.

First of all, the Rockets have undoubtedly become the thorn in the eyes of the entire league. In fact, during the finals, the referee's whistle and the public opinion of major websites and TV stations showed that the Cavaliers can break the Rockets

The majority of people who monopolize the championship are the team.

When the free market opens in July, those teams with cap space in the league will definitely poach all the players whose contracts expire at the Rockets will be extinguished and completely dismembered this dynasty aircraft carrier.

Of course, the Rockets management also knows this. Their most important task in the near future is to finalize the player's contract renewal and prioritize the renewal based on the player's strength and potential.

Wang Chao, who just surpassed Jordan to become the first person in the league with his seven championships, is undoubtedly the team's primary goal for renewal.

Although Wang Chao's contract should not officially expire in 2016, in the summer of 2015, Wang Chao had the option of a player and could choose to break out of the contract and re-sign a larger contract at any time.

Previously, the Rockets general manager had tested Wang Chao's agent Bill Duffy's attitude, but he failed to obtain some effective information from the other party.

Below Wang Chao are the two main players of the team this season, Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler.

Both of them were first-round picks in 2011. After the contract of the four-year rookie season, they officially became free agents. Although they are restricted free agents, the Rockets have a contract that matches any team's offer for the two, forcibly stayed.

The rights of the two people, but if you want to do that, you will definitely need to provide the two people with a maximum salary contract. Together, the annual salary will be 30 million.

The Rockets management tends to leave Leonard and Butler at all costs. Their current strength and potential are top-notch. They are definitely the right-hand man around Wang Chao. As long as these three people are

All stayed with the Rockets, and the team will still be the biggest favorite to win the championship in the next few years.

Just leaving three people is enough to make the Rockets' salary space explode. After all, Wang Chao's annual salary is close to 25 million, and Leonard and Butler have a total of 30 million. These three people alone occupy 55 million in salary space.

In the 2015-16 season, the NBA salary cap is about to soar, but it is only from 63 million this season to 70 million.

The renewal of Wang Chao and Leonard and Butler alone will occupy nearly 80% of the Rockets' salary space!

And even so, the Rockets are not sure that they can keep Leonard and Butler at the same time.

This is also the reason why the NBA league has so few teams. To ensure the competitiveness of winning the championship, you must have a luxurious lineup. There are almost no teams that win single-core championships in NBA history, even in the 10-11 season.

The Dallas Mavericks seem to have won the single-core championship, but in fact the Mavericks have an extremely luxurious role player team, but they are not famous. The total salary of the championship season is 85.41 million, ranking third in the league.

Below Leonard and Butler, two other players have expired contracts, namely 12-year rookie Chris Middleton and 10-year rookie Hassan Whiteside.

Although the strength and potential shown by these two players are not as good as Leonard and Butler, they are also eye-catching players.

After Chandler Parsons left the team, Middleton was mentioned to the starting position by Wang Chao from the bench. Although his positioning on the field is completely a fixed-point shooter, and he shoots whenever he receives the ball, Middleton's three-pointer

The shooting percentage can reach 40%, and the 2-meter 01-meter small forward's height also has the potential to become an All-Star player.

As for Whiteside's performance this season, it's even more amazing.

With the blessing of Wang Chao's accompanying potion, Huai Shen has made rapid progress in the past two years and has reached the peak of his career. Although he is limited by playing time and averages only 8 points and 8 rebounds per game, he shows in the penalty area

The defensive ability is enough to make many teams feel moved by it.

The above four players, Rockets management is expected to get a contract of tens of millions, and it is definitely impossible to stay all of them. Therefore, Middleton and Whiteside can only be set to the third priority level for renewal.

.

"call--!"

Rubbing his eyebrows, the Rockets general manager breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This job is really hard to do.

In the past few years, he, as the general manager, has been in name only, because all the power is concentrated on Wang Chao. Whether it is the player changes, contract renewal issues or draft picks, Wang Chao has to make a decision. He is only responsible for signing a tool for authorization.

people.

He was temporarily promoted to the position of general manager and was not dissatisfied with this, and even was complacent for winning the Best Manager award twice for his spare time.

But now he understood what it means to fight the country and to defend the country.

"Dingling..."

Just then, the phone in the office rang.

The Rockets general manager answered the phone, and the next moment the expression on his face changed, and he jumped up from his seat.

"What did you say? Wang Chao announced that he would break out of the contract and publicly declared in front of the media that he would not sign a contract with the Rockets? What a joke?"

He was completely stupid. What happened?

The Rockets general manager quickly opened the computer in front of his desk and searched for related keywords.

Then he saw a few minutes of interview video about Wang Chao.

In front of the video, the reporter asked Wang Chao what he thought after winning the championship and whether he thought he had surpassed Jordan to become the number one person in NBA history.

Wang Chao's answers to these questions are no longer important, and the general manager accelerates the video and fast forward.

"Now the Rockets have won three consecutive championships, will you continue to lead the Rockets to win the championship and challenge Bill Russell's eight consecutive championships and eleven championships? This summer, the Rockets have multiple players' contracts expired. You

Who would think the Rockets should be given priority to staying more to help ensure the team’s competitiveness?”

When asked this question, Wang Chao obviously hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering something, but in the end he said: "My career with the Rockets is about to end here. After the end of this season, I will choose

If you jump out of the team and join another team, you won’t choose to continue to renew your contract with the Rockets.”

When Wang Chao said this, his expression was light and as if he was discussing it.

The beautiful reporter in charge of the interview did not react for a while. When she realized what a thrilling news Wang Chao had just said, even the hand holding the microphone was trembling.

"Mr. Wang Chao, what did you just say? We will break out of the contract this summer and will not continue to renew the contract with the Rockets? Why? Do you have any conflicts with the team?"

A series of questions were spoken from the beautiful reporter like a cannon.

Wang Chao had expected this response, his expression was still calm, and he shook his head and said, "I remember I said a long time ago that I joined the Rockets, just wanting to partner with Yao Yu to win the NBA championship."

"Now, the Rockets have achieved three consecutive championships, and Yao Yao is about to retire. My goals have been completed, and the meaning of continuing to stay here no longer exists."

"But the Rockets have the most reasonable and luxurious team. Even if Yao Yu retires, as long as he can renew his contract and retain most of the players whose contracts expire, the team is still the biggest favorite to win the championship!"

The beautiful reporter said in confusion.

Wang Chao smiled, and he shook his head slightly and said, "You must figure it out, it is not that the Rockets are the Dynasty team, but because I came here, it became the Dynasty team."

Beautiful reporter: "..."

Although Wang Chao's words were extremely pretentious, they were an indisputable fact.

If Wang Chao had not joined, the Rockets would have been a far-reaching distance for them, let alone the championship or even the three consecutive championships.

Before Wang Chao came to the Rockets, he was already the founder of the three consecutive championship dynasty.

Therefore, Wang Chao said that the Rockets' three consecutive championships were entirely his credit, and there was no problem at all.

In the four years of the Rockets, Wang Chao won three MVPs, three championships and three FMVPs, officially surpassing Jordan to become the first in the league history. He is fully qualified to say this.

But even so, Wang Chao's motivation for leaving the Rockets is still unclear. After all, as long as he stays with the Rockets, he can further accumulate honors and make his position as the number one player in history more stable.

After all, even with 7 championships in hand, Wang Chao, who has confirmed the number one player in history, still many fans do not recognize it.

After all, no matter how many black people are, as long as they don’t recognize you, white people can be said to be black.

Now many people's arguments have become the problem of Wang Chao's three consecutive championships, because both dynasties were obtained by Wang Chao's first center team. Howard was in the Magic during the period, and there were also great ones during the Rockets during the period.

Yao, this is very similar to the three consecutive championships of the Lakers OK group.

In contrast, Jordan won two three consecutive championships in the era when the inside center was supreme in the 1990s, and there was only one Pippen, who was also an outside player, with a three-round championship that was far more valuable than Wang Chao.

After all, in this league where those who win the inside win the world, Wang Chao's inside strength was at the top level in the league, both in the Magic and the Rockets.

Fans who are a little more sober and rational will know that Howard and Yao Yao are really the No. 1 centers in the league?

Let’s talk about Howard first. After leaving Wang Chao, everyone can see how he performed in the Lakers and the Spurs. In fact, even during the Magic’s three consecutive championships, Howard’s positioning is just a super blue-collar worker, and the team’s tactics are not around him at all.

conduct.

As for Yao Yao, when Wang Chao joined the Rockets, Yao Yao had already passed his peak period. Although he had a dominance in this increasingly center-declined league inside, his injuries and physical fitness caused him to have limited output.

, not the key factor in establishing the team's victory.

Kuroko won't calmly analyze these things. Anyway, Wang Chao's two consecutive championships are not as valuable as Danzi. He wants to surpass Jordan by relying on two leg-hugging dynasties and a soy sauce champion, but he has no goal.
To be continued...
