"Fifty years to sharpen a sword! Cleveland finally won their first championship while sitting!"
"The savior of Kecheng, Wang Chong, kept his promise and won the NBA championship after only one season with the Cavaliers!"
In the first two seasons, Wang Chong successfully won championships with the Bulls, and now with the Cavaliers, he has achieved a triple championship, something only he can claim! This history is unlike any other!
"I've earned the eighth title of my career! It's time to truly surpass Michael Jordan. The spot as the greatest player of all time, Wang Chong truly deserves to be the GOAT!"
"Unanimously chosen FMVP, Wang Chong won his seventh FMVP trophy, and he also earned MVP of the regular season, All-Star AMVP, Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY), and scoring champion, becoming the first Grand Slam player in NBA history to monopolize all these honors."
In the post-game press interview, Wang Chong smiled at the camera and said words that made Cleveland fans collectively tear up.
"Cleveland, this is for you!"
On Carnival Day in Kecheng, fans flooded the streets after winning the championship to celebrate the team's first-ever title, and the chant that echoed the loudest was Wang Chong! Our hero!
I have to say that the championship Wang Chong brought to the Cavaliers is arguably the most significant of his eight championships.
Whether it's the Lakers' first championship or the six titles with the Bulls, while valuable, after all, the Lakers and Bulls are two teams that have won championships before, especially for a historic franchise like the Lakers, where an additional title doesn't make much of an impact.
But the Cavaliers are different—this team had never won a championship, and the desire and expectation for a title here are incomparable.
Even their Finals opponents, the Los Angeles Clippers, who haven't won a title in nearly 50 years, can't be compared.
After all, even though the Clippers have never won, their desire for a championship is limited to their own fans, as Los Angeles is not lacking in titles. The Lakers are one of the most decorated teams in NBA history, and other major sports leagues have their own champions. Fans here are generally quite content.
But Cleveland is different. Not only in the NBA, but across the other four major leagues, winning a championship for the city has been a dream for everyone here.
Now, Wang Chong has made that dream come true for the city, after 50 years of waiting.
Because of this, some people had hoped to stage a drama of a king's return, to restore their image through winning a championship for their hometown, but that idea was completely shattered.
After the Cavaliers won the championship, a very big question emerged:
Where will Wang Chong go next season?
With 8 personal honors, 5 MVPs, and 7 FMVPs, Wang Chong has undeniably surpassed Jordan and become the greatest player in NBA history.
His dominance has been proven once again with the Cavaliers, and the entire league now agrees: whoever gets Wang Chong is guaranteed to win the championship!
At only 30 years old, Wang Chong has already accumulated countless honors, and his peak will last at least another 3 to 5 years, making him an incredibly valuable asset as the team's cornerstone.
When Wang Chong joined the Cavaliers, he made it clear that he would only play for them for one year, with the goal of bringing them a championship.
Now that he has fulfilled his promise, there's a high chance that he will retire and leave the Cavaliers, no matter how enthusiastic Cleveland fans are—keeping Wang Chong will be difficult.
There's no way around it: Cleveland is simply too small to remain competitive.
Although the entire league is eager to acquire Wang Chong, most teams are aware that they have little chance of winning his favor.
This is because midway through the season, Wang Chong made his intentions clear.
He will only consider playing in major cities.
This has eliminated over 80% of the teams in the league.
Of the remaining contenders, the four teams from the two major cities of Los Angeles and New York seem to be the most likely:
Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers, New York Knicks, and Brooklyn Nets.
The advantage Los Angeles has is that Wang Chong's wife, Jessica, and their daughter are based there, allowing him to spend more time with his family.
As the largest metropolis in the United States, New York is more prosperous than Los Angeles and is also one of the strong contenders for Wang Chong.
Other teams, especially those in remote and less developed cities, while excited, will simply have to give up their pursuit of Wang Chong.
However, they aren't willing to back down. Besides Wang Chong, the Cavaliers have several good players whose contracts have expired this summer, especially the twin towers of the interior—Pau Gasol and Whiteside—who are the most attractive.
This season, Pau Gasol has completely regained his value, averaging 18 points and 8 rebounds per game during the regular season.
Though he'll be one year older next season, his standout performance this year will definitely earn him an ideal contract for retirement.
Compared to Pau Gasol, Whiteside's rise has been more dramatic.
At the beginning of the season, he was just an unknown player who joined the Cavaliers on a minimum salary, but by the end of the season, he had become an interior defensive powerhouse comparable to Jordan Jr.
Although his statistics haven't exploded to the level they did in the 2014-15 season, considering his age and future development prospects, it's hard to imagine him staying without a maximum salary offer.
Of course, the Cavaliers can't keep Wang Chong, but they'll still do everything possible to retain other key players this season. They just need to look at the Chicago Bulls next door: the Bulls remain the best team in the East even without Wang Chong, and they had a fierce battle with the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
This shows that even if Wang Chong leaves, as long as the team is built around the framework he created, the Cavaliers won't be particularly bad next season.
Although the free agency period hasn't officially opened yet, the entire league is already in turmoil because of the Cavaliers.
On June 26, 2015, the NBA Draft was successfully held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the home of the Nets.
The talented forward Karl-Anthony Towns was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the first overall pick.
The Lakers, who had the scouting pick, chose D'Angelo Russell, just as they originally did.
As for the other notable players in the 2015 draft class, the selections haven't changed too much, although the draft order is slightly different, with Russell, who was the second pick, falling to the third pick.
The only exception is Porzingis, who was supposed to be drafted by the Knicks. However, since the Knicks didn't perform as poorly that season and made it to the playoffs, he was selected by Sacramento, where he is expected to form a twin tower duo with Cousins for the Kings.
After the draft, the next event to follow will be the opening of free agency in early July.
All teams are ready for free agency to begin.
As the center of attention, Wang Chong has now arrived in Los Angeles.
The system task rewards have been issued, but this time the rewards are valid for an extended period, so the real effects will be reflected in the future.
During this time, he has been living a simple life, spending time with Jessica and little Kexin.
Several teams have tried to contact him through various means and channels to make an offer.
But Wang Chong remained unmoved.
In fact, he had already thought about his next destination last season, and that destination is none other than the team in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Lakers are exactly the team that interests him the most.
Although he had said from the beginning that he would only consider major cities, there was always just one option in his mind, and that was Los Angeles.
Now he no longer needs to chase anything—what he wants most is to be able to accompany Xiao Kexin during her growth.
Naturally, Los Angeles is the best choice.
Returning to the Los Angeles Lakers also provides a more dramatic option for Wang Chong.
At this moment, the Lakers have clearly fallen to rock bottom, and even if Kobe Bryant returns from injury, considering his age and injury, the team's strength is basically nonexistent.
Bosh will be out for next season due to a blood clot illness, and because it's an illness rather than an injury, even if Wang Chong brings major changes to this era, it's unlikely to affect Bosh's situation.
Even though the Lakers selected Russell, a rookie with decent potential, there are still no chances of rising in the coming years.
But if Wang Chong joins, of course, there's absolute certainty that the Lakers would become a championship-winning team, or even a potential three-time dynasty champion.
During the remainder of Kobe Bryant's career, Wang Chong wouldn't mind helping him win one or two more championships—after all, due to Wang Chong, Kobe Bryant would be considered to have fallen into the same mold as the greats, lacking only a scoring title in his career and only one FMVP.
Of course, the premise is that Kobe Bryant acknowledges his role and no longer acts as the older brother who dominates everything with the Lakers.
This is also one of the conditions for Wang Chong to join the Lakers—there are many conditions that must be met for him to join the Lakers, including his role on the team, which should be the same as it was when he was with the Bulls. Don't think that just because the Lakers are a giant team, they can make exceptions, and Wang Chong will bow down to them.
The management of the Lakers is not a bag of wine.
Wang Chong returned to Los Angeles after the Finals to live in seclusion and ignore the world, which in itself was very unusual.
Soon, it became clear that Wang Chong might be joining a Los Angeles team!
Here's the problem: there are two teams in Los Angeles, the Clippers, with Paul, Harden, and Jordan Jr. all close to $20 million contracts, so there's no chance of competing for Wang Chong.
But the Lakers are different. Although Kobe Bryant and Bosh have $20 million+ contracts, the rest of the players on the team don't have big contracts. With some rationalization during the offseason, they can free up nearly $30 million in salary cap space.
Even if necessary, they could trade Bosh at a discount—if there's any chance to acquire Wang Chong, they won't hesitate!
Wang Chong definitely has that value now.
The Lakers, realizing this, used Kobe Bryant to approach Wang Chong and test the waters.
Although the relationship between Kobe Bryant and Wang Chong had been a bit strained for a while, it was only limited to the court. After all, the Lakers and Bulls had faced off several times in the Finals during those years.
During the weekdays, the two had no deep grudges, and there were no major contradictions.
And with Kobe Bryant's Achilles tendon tear, his obsessive, manic personality has improved greatly, and his hostility towards Wang Chong has significantly decreased.
Of course, the most important reason is that Kobe knows Wang Chong has surpassed him, and he can no longer see Wang Chong's rear lights. After suffering a major injury, Kobe now has no idea of continuing to compete.
When Kobe learned that Wang Chong might join the Lakers, he of course wholeheartedly agreed, and was busy contacting and inviting Wang Chong's family to dinner.
So one night, Wang Chong took Jessica and Xiao Kexin to Kobe's mansion.
After a sumptuous dinner, Jessica and Vanessa took the children outside to play, while Bryant and Wang Chong sat down.
"Wang, this season is over, what are your plans for next season?"
Upon hearing Kobe Bryant's seemingly casual words, but in reality deeply meaningful, Wang Chong smiled faintly.
He wasn't going to be careless, and it was clear what Kobe's true purpose was in inviting him to dinner.
Therefore, Wang Chong looked into Kobe Bryant's eyes and said directly, "I plan to join the Lakers next season and team up with you."
Bryant: "..."
Wang Chong didn't follow the usual script at all, and Kobe Bryant was unable to finish his straight ball.
After being stunned for a long time, Kobe Bryant didn't know what to do next.
Seeing Kobe Bryant frozen, Wang Chong smiled and continued, "Of course, I still have many conditions for joining the Lakers—some relate to the team's conditions and others to yours. Only if all of these conditions are met, will I join the Lakers."
Wang Chong's words were very direct. Although he took the initiative to join the Lakers, don't think his stance would be low. He was still the uncle, and they had to embrace him and meet his conditions.
Now Wang Chong was completely qualified to act as the uncle.
Kobe Bryant finally reacted at this moment, and a brilliant smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He instantly realized that if Wang Chong really joined the Lakers, they would probably win the sixth or even the seventh championship of Kobe's career! The Lakers would instantly rise from the bottom thanks to Wang Chong.
In that case, regardless of the conditions Wang Chong proposes, both he and the Lakers' management would do everything possible to meet them!
The next day, a paparazzi reported that Kobe Bryant and Wang Chong had shared a family dinner.
In this critical moment before free agency opens, Wang Chong and Kobe's family dinner is naturally very ambiguous, and people can't help but wonder:
—Could it be... that Wang Chong and Kobe Bryant will team up for a second time?
