————————————————————————————————————————————

Wang Chong knew very well that being low-key and humble are traditional virtues of China. In the United States, which emphasizes freedom and openness, being low-key and humble will only make others take you lightly and think that you are really not good enough.

Especially in the United States where racial discrimination is very serious, if Wang Chong, who is a yellow man, is more low-key, all kinds of ridicule and discrimination will follow.

Therefore, Wang Chong had no intention of keeping a low profile. He would choose to fight back without hesitation against anyone who provoked him.

And even if we take a step back, Wang Chong has the capital to be so arrogant.

He has already reached an overall ability rating of 75, which ranks among the top among the rookies of the 2003 class. After completing the system's tasks, he will receive 3,000 points plus a gold-level badge.

With 3,000 points, there is no problem in pushing Wang Chong's overall ability rating to above 80 in one go, and there is a high possibility that it will reach 84 or even 85.

With an overall ability rating of 85, he could barely reach the threshold of an All-Star player even in the NBA. Coupled with a gold badge of any type, Wang Chong felt that when he first entered the NBA, his strength was probably the strongest among the rookies of the 2003 draft, even surpassing the three legendary players James, Anthony, and Wade.

This is the reason why Wang Chong dared to speak so arrogantly.

People in their own family know their own business, but the reporters don't know Wang Chong's strength at the moment. They just feel that Wang Chong is too arrogant. He was just a small upset, and he was selected in the lottery area. He was so arrogant that he thought he deserved the top five. He really didn't know how high the sky was!

Many reporters have already thought about how to write today's article.

"This is extremely arrogant. This young Chinese player has no idea of his own limitations and is so arrogant that he thinks he should be selected in the top five!"

"Wang Chong, a player who was selected in the lottery by luck, how long can he play in the NBA? I'm afraid he will disappear from the league soon, right?"

"Obviously, the Memphis Grizzlies made a wrong decision. Wang Chong's strength is completely inversely proportional to his tone. Jerry West obviously has better choices, such as David West from Xavier University, and Zarko Cabarkapa, a professional player from Montenegro who has experienced the European League."

However, the reporters were very enthusiastic. When they were about to continue to ask questions, an agent from the Memphis Grizzlies suddenly walked up to Wang Chong, leaned close to his ear, and said softly: "Wang, the deal is done. You are now officially a member of the Los Angeles Lakers."

As soon as the words came out, Wang Chong was overjoyed.

He had already expected the result, but it was another thing to actually hear the news that the deal had been reached.

Fortunately, the agent reminded him that Wang Chong didn't smile too much and just nodded calmly to indicate that he understood.

There were some clever reporters who had already noticed that something was wrong with Wang Chong's reaction. They all had the eyes of wolves and wanted to get first-hand news.

However, before these reporters could start asking questions again, the agent from the Memphis Grizzlies had already reached out to block them and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, reporters and friends, but we need to go to the stadium to handle some matters. That's all for today's interview."

After the Grizzlies agent finished speaking, he took Wang Chong by the shoulder and walked toward the stadium channel without giving the reporters a chance to react.

Just as Wang Chong and the others left, the voice of Grizzlies general manager Jerry West suddenly came from the arena channel.

West was originally known as the "logo man," and even though he retired as a player, he later served as a coach and general manager and has always been a respected figure in the NBA.

Even the reporters were very enthusiastic when they saw him, but at this time, West stood in front of them and said loudly: "Reporters and friends, I want to tell you an important piece of news. We just reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Lakers for a trade. The Grizzlies' No. 13 pick in the first round, Wang Chong, and our forward Mike Miller will be traded to the Lakers. The Grizzlies will receive the Lakers' first-round pick for the next two years and a 5 million cash payment."

As soon as the words came out, the scene was in an uproar.

Almost all reporters were in a daze and couldn't believe what they heard.

Why? Why would Jerry West make such a seemingly unequal trade with the Lakers?

Don't talk about the two future first-round picks, at least one of them should be a very low pick, with almost no value. The remaining 5 million in cash is even more dispensable for the Grizzlies.

How did this transaction make the Grizzlies better?

There is only one possibility, that is, there are hidden rules in it. As long as Jerry West is willing, he has 100 ways to make a deal with the Lakers to look fairer and even make it difficult for others to detect the abnormality.

But even if everyone on the scene felt something was wrong, the media reporters would not dig into it.

Wang Chong, who was standing in the passage of the stadium, saw this scene with his own eyes and couldn't help but curl his lips.

"These reporters still want to tear me apart today, but unfortunately, I'm not on your interview list anymore."
