With three points at the start, Nash begged for a maximum salary to renew his contract

Chapter 362 Wang Chao: Wade is the only player who beat me twice in the finals, he deserves respect!

Fans are not surprised that Wang Chao's team will quickly reach the top of the league record at the beginning of the season. On the contrary, when Wang Chao's team fails, it is really strange.

But having said that, the Clippers actually won all of this wave of death three consecutive victories, and they won the Bucks successively. The Warriors and Spurs are still surprising.

Is the strength of the Clippers a bit too strong?Especially on the offensive end, including Wang Chao, six of the team scored in double figures, and five of them averaged more than 15 points per game. The team averaged more than 40 three-point shots per game, but the shooting percentage remained at 38% Left and right, on par with the Warriors!

The super high production and super high efficiency make the Clippers rank first in the league in scoring per game and leave other teams far behind.

Of course, even so, the Clippers are not invincible.

On November 11, the Clippers, who finally returned to their home court, ushered in the challenge of another strong opponent, the Brooklyn Nets.

The Clippers, who had previously slammed the Quartet in the away game, fell into a hard fight at home, and finally lost to the Nets 115:119.

The reason for the Clippers' loss to the Nets was not the Nets' Durant + Paul + Booker's super outside combination, but the inside line.

In this game, Brook Lopez, who had performed quite well before, was completely overwhelmed by the opponent Nikola Jokic. The latter played a dominant performance, scoring 31 points, 14 rebounds and 10 rebounds. The assists are almost on par with Wang Chao's 36 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.

18-19赛季的约基奇，已经完全成长起来，在原本的时空中就已经能场均砍下20分10.8篮板7.3助攻的超全能数据，偶尔有高光表现，轰下30+10+10的三双数据并不奇怪。

It can even be said that Jokic's performance in the Nets has been suppressed by his teammates a lot, and the data so far this season is only about 16+10+5.

After being suppressed for a long time, it is normal to suddenly have a small universe explosion, but the Clippers were unlucky to encounter Jokic's explosion, and the result was tragic.

If it's just Jokic alone, Wang Chao can certainly handle it, but the problem is that the Nets are not just him, there are Durant, Booker and the experienced and wily Paul on the outside.

In terms of lineup depth, the Nets dare to say that they are second in the league, but no team dares to say that they are number one, not even the Lakers, who have an equally exaggerated lineup.

In fact, the current record of the Lakers is quite unsatisfactory compared with the top teams in the league such as the Clippers and the Nets.

It is impossible for the giant lineup that was formed a few months ago to cooperate immediately to the level of tacit understanding and explosive combat effectiveness. After all, not everyone is like Wang Chao. The lineup, the technical characteristics of the players and the style of play are all determined in advance. Once you join, you only need to train according to the tactics for a period of time to bring out the best of the team.

The Lakers obviously still need time to get used to it. To be precise, Cousins ​​and Towns need time to adapt to James' big-core play with the ball.

The Clippers lost to the Nets at home, and the winning streak was once again ended, but the game against the Nets was also the last strong enemy the Clippers encountered in November.

Throughout November, the Clippers have six games left, against the Eagles, Wizards, Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, Suns and Kings.

Among these teams, only the Trail Blazers are currently in the playoffs, but the strength of the Trail Blazers is limited, even if the team's current lineup is stronger than that of the 18-19 season at the same time, because Aldridge is Without leaving the team, there are Lillard and McCollum's [-] million outside shots.
But the problem is that under Wang Chao's disturbance, the number of super teams in the league now far exceeds the original 18-19 season, so the Trail Blazers lineup is barely ranked in the upper half of the Western Conference.

Facing these weaker opponents, the Clippers did not show any mercy, and took them all away in one wave. At the end of November, they won six consecutive victories again, and their record came to 11 wins and 19 losses.

凭借着19胜2负战绩和场均28+13+12的场均三双数据，王超又双叒一次当选月最佳球员，东部那边和他同时入选11月最佳球员的，则是雄鹿队的字母哥阿德托昆博。

In the past one and a half months, the Bucks have a record of 15 wins and 5 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference, winning one game more than the Nets, and Antetokounmpo himself averaged 20 points and 27.3 points per game in these 12.9 games. Rebounds and 6 assists, the data performance is also quite gorgeous.

Although it is only the first month of the 18-19 season to complete the schedule, in the latest MVP list, Wang Chao and Antetokounmpo have already ranked No. 2 on the list. The difference is that in terms of team strength On the list, the Clippers also reached the top with a record of 19 wins and 2 losses, while the Bucks only ranked fourth with a record of 15 wins and 5 losses.

Because whether it is the Nets with 14 wins and 6 losses in the East or the Warriors with 15 wins and 6 losses in the West, they are not much worse than the Bucks in terms of record, but the overall lineup of the team is obviously better than that of the Bucks with only Antetokounmpo and Wiggins. Deer look a lot stronger.

The vast majority of the media and fans still prefer the Nets and Warriors to be stronger than the Bucks.

that's the truth.

Antetokounmpo in the 18-19 season was indeed very strong, but the Bucks were eliminated 4:2 by the Raptors led by Leonard in the original playoffs.

Although the Raptors later won the NBA championship, everyone knows that if the Warriors were not full of injuries and Durant Thompson's two core players were injured and unable to play, it would be difficult for the Raptors to beat the Warriors.

The strength of Leonard's version of the Raptors is definitely not as good as this season's Warriors and Nets, so Antetokounmpo's Bucks will most likely not be the opponents of these aircraft carrier teams.

Wiggins' degree of adaptation around Antetokounmpo is really not necessarily comparable to that of Middleton + Brogdon + Lopez.

Not surprisingly, the team that can break through this year in the Eastern Conference and enter the playoffs will most likely be the Nets. Unless the Nets have any serious injury problems, it is not impossible.

Durant originally suffered the biggest injury of his career in the 18-19 season. Although his super performance in the Nets later told people that he was not affected by the injury, the Warriors suffered from Durant in the 18-19 season. It is an indisputable fact that the special injury has lost the chance of three consecutive championships.

As for Paul, because of the butterfly effect, he also escaped an injury that should have occurred, that is, the injury caused by the battle against the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals of the 17-18 season playoffs.

Injury itself has coincidences and uncertainties, but to a certain extent, it is an inevitable result. Therefore, although Durant and Paul have remained healthy, the Nets have been in the past two years. It is the finals team, playing more games than all other players in the league except Wang Chao, all teams, and naturally consumes more, because the possibility of fatigue and injury is definitely not zero.

Of course, this is just a guess. Maybe the Nets are so lucky that the four main players in the team can always maintain a healthy competitive state, but it is not certain. The Nets will meet the Bucks in the playoffs , Brother Antetokounmpo's kick crossed time and space to pad the Nets again?
All in all, Wang Chao doesn't need to think too much about the issues in the Eastern Conference. We'll wait until the finals.

On the west side, the Ingram version of Cosmic Brave needs to be more concerned with the James + Twin Towers Lakers, especially the latter. The Clippers are currently weakest on the inside, and Lopez does have a good ability to protect the basket , but it will definitely not work against the inside twin towers of Cousins ​​+ Downs. At that time, Wang Chao may be needed to help.

Speaking of which, if Wang Chao were to defend either Cousins ​​or Downs, he would definitely choose the soft persimmon Downs.

Regardless of the future Towns, he is an All-Star insider who has contributed 20+10 per game for many years in a row, and his three-point shooting percentage has reached more than 40%. It's ridiculous to describe that there are many softies inside the league in the future, but Towns is also the most outstanding one among them.

Speaking of Downs' softness, the most classic scene handed down from generation to generation is the scene of Downs playing Cousins ​​with his back in 19 years.

In that picture, Downs slaps Cousins ​​with his back, his movements are delicate, and he sticks to Cousins' chest like a bird, grinning his teeth and pushing hard, but Cousins ​​doesn't move at all, and his expression looks very speechless.

You are working hard!
Both are inside players, the gap in strength and confrontation ability between the two is fully revealed.

Wang Chao has a strength value of 89, and the talent of a fighting maniac to improve his confrontation ability, which is more than enough to deal with a Downs!
Off topic...

Closer to home.

After the November schedule ended, time entered December. Before the December schedule officially started, Wang Chao got a good news first.

Candice is pregnant.

One of the important reasons why Wang Chao chose to join the Clippers was because Candice wanted to give him a monkey. The Clippers are located in Los Angeles and have a geographical advantage.

This season has just started, and Candice has already won the bid, but pregnancy is just the beginning. If she just wants her to conceive, there is no need to go to the Clippers to play. From pregnancy to childbirth, Wang Chao will definitely be with her. Candice's side, even if it can't be done all the time, at least half of the home game schedule can ensure that Wang Chao can accompany Candice to spend at any time.

In fact, after learning that Candice was pregnant, Wang Chao directly took a day off to accompany Candice to the best local hospital in Los Angeles for reexamination.

As a result, the Clippers lost 12:2 in their away game against the Dallas Mavericks on December 110.

This is the first time that Wang Chao has missed a regular season game since he acquired the talent of steel and iron, and it is also the first time that he has been absent due to non-injury reasons.

Everyone knows what Wang Chao did when he didn't go to Dallas with the team, but no one can say no.

Wang Chao's status in the Clippers is aloof, and no one can judge his behavior, let alone dare.

Even after the game against Dallas, head coach Rivers took the initiative to call Wang Chao, saying that if Wang Chao can't spare time, he will also ask for leave for back-to-back away games against the Pelicans tomorrow.

This made Wang Chao feel a little embarrassed.

He is not like some players who intentionally feign injury and miss the team. He is like an uncle with the team’s maximum salary. He does not play consecutive away games. If it turns out to be true, that would truly be one of the biggest jokes in the league.

After checking with Candice, Wang Chao flew to New Orleans from Los Angeles to join the team. He played normally in the game on December 12, scoring 3 points and 42 rebounds. 15 assists, leading the team to win the game.

整个12月快船队能遭遇的劲敌并不多，也就12月23日和勇士队的二番战，以及12月25日圣诞大战和同城劲敌湖人的比赛。

Of course, in this process, Western teams such as the Spurs, Thunder, Trail Blazers, and Nuggets also confronted the Clippers, but their level is obviously a level worse than the Warriors and Lakers.

It is worth mentioning that on December 12, the Clippers beat the Miami Heat 8:121 at home.

The Heat have long been reduced to a team outside the playoffs. Although they are not at the bottom of the league, this level of record is actually the most embarrassing.

Like the original time and space, Bosh was found to have a blood clot in 16, which directly led to the end of his career.

And the Heat did not get Whiteside, which made things worse.

Although the current Heat are not completely broken, they have also started rebuilding work. However, based on their current situation, the rebuilding work is not that simple. After all, there is a high probability that they will not have a chance to get Jimmy Butler next summer.

In terms of insidiousness and cunning, Popovich is no worse than Pat Riley. How could he easily let go of the absolute core players of the Spurs?
What I want to mention here is of course not the development prospects of the Heat, but the soul of the team, Dwyane Wade.

The 18-19 season was the last season of Wade's career.

He also had the idea of ​​following Kobe's lead in the retirement tour, but his status was not at the same level as Kobe's, and Pat Riley didn't cooperate with Wade at all.

The result is that Wade's retirement tour is very embarrassing. In many cases, after the game, he can only pick the opponent's most famous or best player to exchange jerseys, in this way to brush up his presence and remind the audience of The Flash I will retire after this season, and I will never see him again.

To be fair, this method is not very clever, but a bit too deliberate, causing many people on the Internet to ridicule Wade's operation of exchanging jerseys, especially after the 9-point incident, ridiculed Wade's retirement tour grade There are more people.

In this game, although the Heat lost to the Clippers by a big score, Wade did not seem too disappointed. He played 32 minutes off the bench and scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. good game.

Therefore, as soon as the game was over, he took the initiative to find Wang Chao, and exchanged jersey collections with Wang Chao with a smile on his face.

For Wade, Wang Chao still prefers it. Unlike James, who is too scheming and profit-oriented, Wade's loyalty is obvious to all. He sacrificed a lot for the Heat. In the end, he was betrayed by the team. forever.

Wang Chao likes Wade and respects Wade. Naturally, he will not lose face. He exchanged jerseys with the opponent very enthusiastically, and then praised Wade greatly in the post-match press conference.

"I have lost 3 times in the finals in my career, twice to the Heat (05, 12) who lost to Wade, and once to the Lakers who lost to Kobe. I will always remember these 3 finals losses I will frame Wade's jersey and hang it in the honor showroom at home, he is a great player and deserves everyone's respect!"
