Cheng Jie and Wang Meng's ability to mix like fish in water in the NBA is completely unexpected by Wang Xiao.

Their own strength, coupled with the experience of playing in the NCAA for several years, made the two come to the NBA without any discomfort, basically after Hao Peng joins the NBA next year, the situation will be the same.

Originally, after Da Yao retired, Chinese basketball once ushered in an extremely dark era, but the darkness did not last long before ushering in a new prosperous era.

In the post-Yao era, the number of Chinese players playing in the NBA surged to 3, Yi Jianlian, Cheng Jie and Wang Meng, two of whom held important positions in their respective teams, and soon, the number will change from 3 to 4!

……

Entering December, the Bucks' record has changed from explosive to stable, although they have lost some games, but they have also won more games, which makes the Bucks continue to lead the record list, but the Bucks' lead is definitely not unbeatable.

In the East, the Wizards and Cavaliers are closely behind the Bucks, and the difference between the three teams is only about 2 games, so it is not surprising that they can overtake each other at any time.

And on the West side, the Clippers and Trail Blazers are not inferior to the three teams in the East.

Compared with last season's Wizards and Cavaliers' peerless duo, the new season's situation is even more confusing.

And while several teams are competing against each other, something big happened in the NBA.

Brooklyn Nets player Jeremy Lin officially announced in mid-December that he would renounce his American citizenship and return to Chinese nationality, and would represent the Chinese men's basketball team in the 2016 Rio Olympics.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a violent shock in the NBA!

Jeremy Lin, one of the league's top point guards, has been a favorable contender for the league's All-NBA team for several years in a row.

Although he always loses to Curry in the point guard position, he is no worse than Paul, Westbrook, Rose and other first-line point guards, and even has the upper hand in many confrontations with his strong defense!

Coach K Sr., who served as the head coach of the American Dream Team in 2016, also said in an interview that he would consider letting Jeremy Lin join the Dream Team, saying that Lin reminded him of Kidd, an excellent defender who has both offense and defense and has a perfect big-picture view.

No one expected that Jeremy Lin would give up his American citizenship and join his Chinese nationality as the end of the year!

This kind of thing is so rare!

Over the years, a large number of outstanding talents in China have been poached by foreign countries, especially the United States, among which there are many talented talented athletes, but few will choose to give up the preferential treatment abroad and return to China.

Jeremy Lin can be said to be the first player in the sports circle to give up his American citizenship and return to Chinese nationality! And he is a top NBA star player!

With the announcement of Jeremy Lin's return to Chinese nationality, it caused a huge response for a while.

On the Huaxia side, Jeremy Lin rushed to the hot search of major portal websites in one fell swoop, as long as the Chinese people who are on the Internet, they can see the relevant reports of Jeremy Lin's return to China, and the Huaxia side has spared no effort to shape Jeremy Lin into a perfect image of loyalty to the party and patriotism, and there are all kinds of praise and praise for Jeremy Lin. The Basketball Association plans to promote Jeremy Lin as the leader of the new generation of the Chinese men's basketball team, so that his influence can reach the level of the former Da Yao.

On the other hand, in the United States, Jeremy Lin was inevitably boycotted, and some of the more radical American fans even began to burn Jeremy Lin's jersey and hold up "traitor" signs on the field to boycott Lin.

This is something that cannot be helped, after all, from the perspective of Chinese fans, Jeremy Lin gave up his American citizenship to compete in the Olympics for China like a national hero.

But in the eyes of American fans, Jeremy Lin is a complete traitor.

As a citizen of the United States, he actually joined Huaxia and was going to fight against the American Dream Team in the Olympics, what is this not a traitor?

Fortunately, Jeremy Lin had been mentally prepared for a long time and turned a blind eye to this.

He gained more in China than he lost in the United States.

There is one thing to say, Jeremy Lin's popularity in the United States itself is not very high, although the United States claims to be free and fair, but racial discrimination and skin color discrimination are not uncommon, Jeremy Lin's strength in the NBA point guard can definitely rank in the top three, but in the United States, jersey sales, commercial contracts are not even in the top ten.

Now, Jeremy Lin has given up his American citizenship and returned to Chinese nationality, focusing the market on the Chinese side, and the situation is completely different in an instant!

Taking the initiative to give up American citizenship made Jeremy Lin's reputation in China skyrocket to the highest point in an instant, and the basketball association's unsparing publicity also made Jeremy Lin's popularity high, although it has only been a few days, Jeremy Lin has already become a benchmark figure in the Chinese sports circle!

The sales of his jerseys in China skyrocketed, and various sky-high commercial contracts followed.

Just like Wang Xiao said, this is definitely a sure-fire deal!

……

Jeremy Lin successfully returned to his Chinese nationality and joined the Chinese men's basketball team, so that Wang Xiao's layout was basically completed, with the starting lineup of Jeremy Lin, Cheng Jie, Wang Meng, Yi Jianlian and Hao Peng, he was fully confident to wrestle with the American team in the Olympic Games.

But that's all after June next year, and for now he still has to focus on the regular season games.

The Bucks have a difficult schedule in December, with games against the Wizards and Cavaliers, as well as away games against Western powerhouses Trail Blazers, Clippers and Spurs.

The hardest of these is the Christmas War.

On Christmas Day, December 25, the Bucks flew to Los Angeles to play against the Clippers, who are currently the No. 1 team in the West.

The Clippers, who reached the finals last year, still have no successful reinforcements in the new season, and they are only half a pound compared to the same period in another time and space.

But the overall level of the team in the west has dropped a lot compared to another time and space.

Wang Chaoyong was dismantled by Wang Xiao, and the Spurs, who were supposed to rely on Leonard to rejuvenate in the post-GDP era, only got one Bosh, and a home team that was once Chinese was also robbed by Wang Xiao of Harden and Howard by the Cavaliers.

The strength of the West as a whole is completely incomparable to that of Eastern teams, so much so that a not-so-top-notch configuration like the Clippers, Paul and Griffin, can sit at the top of the West.

The reason why this game is difficult is not that the Clippers are too difficult to deal with, but that the Bucks have an incomplete lineup.

Antetokounmpo missed the game due to shoulder discomfort.

The current Bucks team has become more and more dependent on Antetokounmpo, although the team still has Oladipo, a player who also focuses on breaking through offense, but the lethality of the two is completely incomparable.

What's more, Oladipo happened to be the No. 1 position with the league's top defensive ability, Chris. Paul.
