Regarding the attribution of the FMVP for the finals, there was no suspense whatsoever. Wang Chong was unanimously chosen as the FMVP of the final, winning this honor for the sixth time in his career, tying Michael Jordan for the most FMVP victories in NBA history.
At this moment, Wang Chong's honors can be considered on par with Jordan's, with his major achievements being 7 championships, 4 MVPs, and 6 FMVPs.
Jordan has 6 championships, 5 MVPs, and 6 FMVPs.
Wang Chong is a worse regular season MVP than Jordan, but he also has one more championship. As for the dynasties, Jordan has two three-peat championships, while Wang Chong has a four-peat plus two consecutive championships, making it hard to distinguish between the two.
Now, it's unclear if Wang Chong has officially surpassed Jordan to become the greatest player in NBA history, but no one doubts that it's only a matter of time before Wang Chong surpasses Jordan, because with the current Bulls roster, no matter how you look at it, they'll still be defending their championship next season. When Wang Chong wins another championship to complete a 4+3 consecutive championship streak or secures another MVP and FMVP, Jordan's legacy will hold no advantage over Wang Chong's.
Wang Chong and his Bulls are so dominant that all teams in the league feel hopeless. The Spurs, despite playing so perfectly in the Finals, still lost, unable to think of any way to defeat the Bulls. Maybe this Bulls team won't lose unless it's due to injuries or time.
When he lifted the FMVP trophy on the podium, although Wang Chong wore a slight smile on his face, there was no emotion or excitement in his heart.
After all, this was the sixth time he had won the FMVP, and now that he was tied with Jordan, Wang Chong only felt bored.
As mentioned before, no matter how many games he wins or how many honors he earns in today's NBA, it feels like a full-role-playing game, constantly repeating the process of brushing and re-brushing, without any challenge or passion.
The final match against the Spurs made Wang Chong feel a bit nervous and excited when facing a strong opponent, but it was only for a short while.
More importantly, Wang Chong knew very well that the Spurs during the 13-14 season were the strongest version of the post-Duncan era, and although Leonard had grown stronger in the next two seasons, Duncan had completely aged and could no longer support the Spurs' interior line as before. Thus, the Spurs' strength had decreased, not increased.
In the coming years, the strongest team in the league would undoubtedly be the five-star Warriors with three championships in four years, but Wang Chong had dismantled the Warriors to form a Bulls dynasty team. The five-star Warriors, once considered the strongest in league history, would inevitably cease to exist in this time and space. This made Wang Chong have no expectations for the league's situation in the coming years, and he didn't believe any team would become a competitor for the Bulls in the next few years.
"With that, it seems there's nothing worth waiting for in the coming years. It's just about continuing to win games, racking up championships and various honors, and sitting firmly in first place in NBA history…"
Thinking about this, Wang Chong, holding the FMVP trophy, couldn't feel happiness in his heart.
And yet, in this moment…
"Ding ——!"
A clear bell stunned Wang Chong.
This voice was very familiar, even giving him a feeling he hadn't had in a long time—it was the system's fast sound!
At first, the system would often release random tasks, so Wang Chong could be rewarded for completing them to strengthen his skills.
But later, as Wang Chong's skill value increased and finally reached a total value of 99, the system hadn't released random tasks for a long time, and naturally, the sound of the system releasing tasks hadn't been heard for a while.
—Could this mean...?
After being stunned, Wang Chong immediately reacted, though he was still somewhat incredulous.
And at this moment, the familiar, emotionless voice of the system had already sounded.
"The ultimate challenge mission has been activated, and the mission is now released."
"Ultimate challenge: With player Wang Chong winning the seventh championship trophy of his career, he is fully qualified to be the first person in history to stand on the same level as Jordan. While continuing to play with the Bulls, it is not difficult to keep winning championships. However, even the player knows in his heart that it is truly challenging and boring to become the greatest player in history under those circumstances."
"To satisfy the host's desire for challenge, the hell-level difficulty script is now released. The mission requires player Wang Chong to complete a championship defense next season and achieve a second dynasty of the triple crown."
"Mission condition one: Player Wang Chong cannot achieve the third championship with the Bulls."
"Mission condition two: To ensure the difficulty of the mission, only one team that has not reached the playoffs this season can be selected."
"Mission condition three: This task can only win the championship next season and achieve a three-consecutive crown dynasty that belongs solely to you. If the championship is not won, it will be considered a mission failure."
"This task is a hell-level difficulty dungeon challenge. There will be no punishment for failing or abandoning the task. Moreover, to encourage the player to challenge themselves, the mission reward will increase to MAX. Once the challenge is completed, player Wang Chong's overall body durability will exceed the upper limit and increase to 100! (Note: The side effect of 100 overall durability is that it can greatly extend the player's peak period and simultaneously improve life expectancy, ensuring that the host will have no disasters in the future. The lifespan can reach up to 100 years)."
Wang Chong: "..."
The amount of information revealed by the system in this short period of time was so large that it was a bit difficult for him to accept and complain about it for a while.
After closing his eyes and calming himself for a few seconds, Wang Chong gradually processed the general meaning of the long paragraph the system had just said.
The system, sensing Wang Chong's invincible and lonely mood, had released the ultimate challenge mission, requiring Wang Chong to choose a team outside the playoffs to join next season and lead them to win the championship.
This meant Wang Chong had to leave the Bulls, abandoning the super team he had carefully built over the years.
Wang Chong had never considered leaving the Bulls, especially with the current Bulls roster. Curry was about to enter his prime, and players like Butler and Gasol Jr. would make the best team in the league for at least the next ten years if they maintained the current lineup, making them the favorites to win the championship.
Although he felt a little bored due to being too invincible, he wasn't a masochist. Who would leave the Bulls, where he could just sit back and enjoy it?
Moreover, even if Wang Chong left the Bulls, Curry and the others would remain, and even without him, the Bulls would continue to grow and remain the favorites to win the championship.
And that's not even the most terrifying part! After Wang Chong left the Bulls, the team would immediately free up over $20 million in salary space, which could easily be used to acquire a top-tier player. There would be no need for those superstars who could rank among the top ten in the league. Even if it was to bring in another All-Star level player, this Bulls team would still be just as strong as the 73-win Warriors.
This meant that if Wang Chong left the Bulls, he would lose a group of strong teammates and create a super-strong opponent in his path to the championship.
Such ingratitude was something Wang Chong definitely wouldn't do.
But this girl system seemed to know how to read his mind, directly offering him a reward that he couldn't refuse.
Overall durability increased to 100!
As if fearing Wang Chong didn't know how powerful 100 durability was, the system also made a special note in parentheses.
It greatly extended the player's peak period and came with the effect of preventing sickness and ensuring a long life. Who could resist this?
In front of such temptation, Wang Chong had to admit that he was just a mortal. Even though he knew the task was quite difficult and would come at a high price, there was still no doubt.
——
In front of the TV, watching Wang Chong lift the FMVP trophy with a blank expression, the Bulls fans couldn't help but be happy—this is their proud superstar! Their team leader! He might even replace Jordan as the new totem and symbol of Chicago!
But these fans could never have dreamed that, just days later, shocking news would hit them, dropping them from the sky to the depths of hell in an instant.
Although the decision was made, Wang Chong didn't rush to express his position immediately. He waited until the team returned to Chicago, celebrated with a championship parade, and then found the opportunity to meet with the team's general manager.
"You're here, King, take a seat!"
Chicago Bulls General Manager's Office, General Manager John Brown. With a smile on his face, Paxson welcomed Wang Chong to the door and sat him down.
"Well, I wanted to talk to you about next season's draft."
Paxson obviously didn't know what Wang Chong wanted to do, but thought Wang Chong just wanted to discuss some offseason business and possibly contract renewal.
There was no issue with Wang Chong's contract renewal. The team owner had already benefited from it, and if NBA league rules allowed, Wang Chong would be offered the maximum salary possible. The owner had even said that, if necessary, Wang Chong could attach a trade veto to show respect.
Under such lucrative terms, Wang Chong had no reason to refuse.
"Juan..."
Looking at Paxson with a smile, Wang Chong got straight to the point, saying, "I have something to tell you face-to-face today. I plan to leave Chicago."
"Really? Where are you going this summer? Relax and take it easy, we've got three straight wins and the pressure will only increase next season."
Paxson clearly didn't understand what Wang Chong meant and thought Wang Chong was just talking about taking a vacation.
But looking at Wang Chong's serious expression, Paxson's smile gradually started to fade, and a possibility he hadn't dared to consider crossed his mind, causing him to look at Wang Chong in disbelief.
"Wang... You're not...?" Seeing Wang Chong nod in confirmation, Paxson's heart sank, and he couldn't help but ask, "But why? Is it the team that's making you unhappy? Or is there a player or coach on the team that's making you unhappy? It doesn't matter, whatever the problem is, just ask me and I'll fix it immediately!"
In the two years since Wang Chong first joined the Bulls, Paxson, as general manager, hadn't liked Wang Chong much, because as a player, Wang Chong's behavior was too dominant. Even though he was the general manager of a team with more than 10,000 people under him, he had to look Wang Chong in the face, and even the work of transactions and reinforcements had to be pointed out.
But with the Bulls winning six championships in seven years, Paxson's opinion had completely changed, and now he was eager to be a salivating fish, clinging to Wang Chong to win more championships and become the most legendary general manager in NBA history.
No one knew better than he did that once Wang Chong left the Bulls, the angry Chicago fans would definitely roast him, and it was very likely he'd be fired directly by the team owner.
"John, don't think about it. The reason is simple. I think it's too easy to win a championship with the Bulls. I want to push my limits, that's all." Wang Chong said calmly, "I'll join a team outside the playoffs in the offseason and lead them to win the championship. This is my decision, no hard feelings."
Paxson was speechless. Although Wang Chong's reasoning sounded ridiculous, it even gave birth to a kind of disease in this person, right? The idea that an ordinary person would think like this.
The person who could say this was Wang Chong, considering that he was now the strongest in the league and even competing with the greatest player in history, Michael Jordan. Jordan's situation no longer seemed so strange.
Just like this type of historical superstar seems a bit rebellious, Jordan also chose to retire at his peak to play baseball, though it was a choice to honor his father. But again, no one understood.
After failing in Major League Baseball, Jordan chose to return to the NBA, but he lost two years of time. If it weren't for those two years in baseball, Jordan's championship count would probably be 8, not two three-peats, but an eight-peat!
It's just that Paxson didn't expect Wang Chong to be as capricious as Boss Qiao... No, even more stubborn than Boss Joe, because he actually intended to join a weak team outside the playoffs and lead them to a championship.
This difficulty was not small. Not to mention that if he failed, everything Wang Chong had built could collapse in an instant. This was extremely risky!
Such a thing had no benefit, no sense. Paxson really didn't understand why Wang Chong was doing this. Just to be more challenging?
Of course, he didn't know that Wang Chong was doing this for 100 durability points and a long life. Compared to those, the risks he took now seemed acceptable.
When he left the general manager's office, Wang Chong was already thinking about which team he would join in the summer.
Even teams outside the playoffs were actually a mix of strong and weak, and some teams had all the potential to become a strong team with championship caliber, as long as they made slight adjustments to their lineup.
Of course, the premise was that this team's management was as obedient as the Bulls' management, and that the team actually had one or two talents.
To succeed in the ultimate challenge, Wang Chong had to think carefully.
Thinking about this, Wang Chong suddenly froze, because he realized that he was actually excited for a long time and felt a little anxious to try it.
Indeed, the system understood him well, and the invincible Bulls team only had honors left to harvest. It was impossible to go all out for a goal like now!
Thinking this way, Wang Chong felt that even if the mission failed, it wouldn't be a loss.
