Chapter 291: 15 consecutive wins at the beginning, the New York reporter was dumbfounded!

At the beginning of the game, the Spurs relied on the advantage of the inside line to occupy some advantages, but as Wang Chao began to focus on blocking and dismantling tactics, the Spurs' defensive system began to collapse under Wang Chao's continuous attack, whether it was Duncan or Howard, there was no way to limit Wang Chao.

As a last resort, Popovich made a killer move and arranged for Leonard and Green to wrap up Wang Chao all over the court.

What he didn't expect was that Wang Chao behaved very calmly in the face of the bag, even under the siege and interception of Leonard and Green, he could still deal with it freely, and even came out of the encirclement from the conflict between the two many times.

Wrapping is a risky defensive strategy that locks the target opponent at the expense of defending an opposing player, and the consequences of a failed defense are very serious.

Every time Wang Chao broke through the bag and rushed to the basket, the Spurs' defensive system completely collapsed, and the Nets could get a big open shot whether Wang Chao attacked by himself or passed the ball to his teammates.

Booker and Bogdanovic on the outside did not live up to the opportunities created by Wang Chao, basically shooting as long as they were in the open space, and even Jokic hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line in the first quarter of the game.

The Nets' offense became organized under Wang's combing, and the result was that the Spurs, who are known for their defense, scored 34 points at home in the first quarter, while the Spurs scored only 26 points.

Duncan and Howard's interior defense can still be maintained at the top level of the league, but the offensive end is a little lacking.

You can't expect the 39-year-old Duncan to continue to shine for the team on both offensive and defensive ends, and Howard's lack of offensive ability on the inside has long been a secret in the league, even against rookie Jokic, Howard's back-to-back offensive efficiency is not high.

The Spurs' main offensive core is still Parker and Butler on the outside.

However, Butler faced Wang Chao in this game, and he had abused him countless times in the past four years.

The two are familiar with each other to the point where you know my strengths and weaknesses, and I know your depths, Butler just pouted his ass slightly, and Wang Chao knew whether this guy was going to shit or fart.

In this case, how dare Butler go to single-play Wang Chao, isn't that uncomfortable?

Static talent, dynamic talent, including technical level and psychological level, Wang Chao crushed Butler all.

With another point being choked to death, the Spurs' offense can only rely on Parker alone.

Tony at his peak. Parker is a very strong player, and his extreme speed allows him to break through with super lethality.

There are always a lot of people who underestimate Parker now, thinking that he only has some fame by following Duncan and Ginobili.

This is not the case, if Parker is not a team-oriented Spurs but another team, the offensive ability alone will definitely not be weaker than the Thunder's Russell. Westbrook.

And even with the Spurs, Parker has averaged more than 18 points per game for six seasons, while shooting around 50% from the field.

In the Spurs' strongest years, Parker was the main core of the team's offensive end rather than Duncan, and he deserved the FMVP in the Finals in the 06-07 season.

It's just that like Duncan, Parker's brilliance is already yesterday.

As the youngest player in the GDP, Tony was born in 1982. Parker is also 34 years old.

At the age of 34, for many players, he is still at the stage of the tail of his prime, but this will definitely not include Parker.

Parker, who is 1.88 meters tall, has the most powerful weapon on the field is his speed, the nickname of the French sports car is not for nothing, but as he grows older, the decline in speed and explosiveness is inevitable.

Although this season has just begun, Wang Chao is very clear that Parker only averaged 11.9 points and 5.3 assists per game in the 15-16 season this season, although this is related to the rise of Leonard and the arrival of Aldridge, and the reduction of his own shots, but the main thing is the decline in personal ability.

In the next two seasons, Parker's scoring not only declined year by year, but his shooting percentage also began to decline, and finally chose to switch to the Hornets because he was dissatisfied with being placed as a substitute by Popovich and left the league after playing for one season.

Wang Chao knew from the beginning that with Parker's current scoring explosiveness, there was no way to threaten the Nets, so he did not design defensive tactics against Parker.

The score of 34:26 also proves this with facts.

The Nets, who had the advantage in the first quarter on the road, continued to take advantage of the win in the next game.

The rotation lineups of the two teams began to appear one after another, and the Spurs' bench lineup has always been their proudest lineup, with Ginobili leading, and looking at the whole league, there are few teams that can match the Spurs in the bench lineup.

But looking at Deron and Joe, who appeared on the Nets side one after another. Johnson and Popovich couldn't help but scold their mothers in their hearts.

"TMD, that's unreasonable."

Two stars with an annual salary of 20 million actually joined the Nets with a basic salary after the buyout, in order to hold Wang Chao's thigh and win the championship.

What makes sense of this?

Delon and Joe. Johnson is a star who still has a certain amount of residual power in the 15-16 season, and Wang Chao is still leading the team on the court at this time, this guy seems to be never tireless, which was the case in the Rockets' seasons, often playing more than 45 minutes a game is alive.

The Golden Gun has become synonymous with Wang Chao in this league, even Aaron Iverson, who averaged 40+ minutes per game for ten consecutive seasons and 41.1 minutes per game in his career.

The Spurs' proud bench lineup has not only failed to help the team regain the advantage during this time, but has further widened the point difference.

By halftime at the end of the second quarter, the difference between the two teams had reached more than 20 points.

The Spurs home fans were a little confused.

What the hell is this? Are they facing a new army, the Nets, or the Rockets, who have dominated the league for the past three years?

In terms of offensive ability, the Nets look even stronger than the Rockets! It's just the defense that's bad, but the opponent's offensive ability is so strong that even if there are certain holes in the defense, they can still be completely ignored.

In the third quarter of the game, the Spurs strengthened their defense and wanted to chase a little bit of points steadily, but the Nets' offense couldn't prevent it at all.

The Spurs, whose defensive system was completely shattered, did not have any chance to turn the tables in the final fourth quarter, and the final score between the two teams was 125-109, and the Spurs lost to the Nets by 16 points at home.

The New York reporters, who were ready to watch the Nets lose, were dumbfounded.

Why is this script different from what they imagined?

The inside line obviously has an absolute advantage, and there is a fierce player like Butler on the outside, why did he lose so badly? Is Wang Chao really strong enough to be 1v5?

People who know a little bit about the ball and can analyze the game process have begun to realize that the Nets' starting lineup is not simple.

From the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, all of them are players with mid-to-long-range and even three-point projection, the three-point shots of Booker and Bogdanovic are very stable and accurate, and Jokic's three-point shots are not very stable, and the shooting rate in the open position is also guaranteed, as for Lopez, although he has not developed a three-point shot for the time being, the ability to shoot from a distance in one hand can also play a role in involving space.

This kind of offensive space is only available when the Rockets have the Death Five lineup, but unlike the Death Five lineup, the two interior lines of the Nets lineup are all big men over 2.11 meters, and they do not sacrifice their interior height for offense.

It's normal for Jokic + Lopez's interior twin towers to be suppressed in the face of the Spurs' Shifo and Warcraft, but what if it's against the interior of other teams in the league? If you think about it, you must know that there are very few teams in the league with the strength of the Spurs on the inside.

The regular season was only played for two games, but some people are already starting to realize that the Nets seem to have a stronger roster than they thought.

On October 31, the Nets defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 114-101 on back-to-back roads, and the Grizzlies are also a team with two towers on the inside, and the black and white duo Gasol Jr. and Randolph also did their job of suppressing Kichi Lopez in the game, but they still couldn't solve the Nets' offense.

After three games, the Nets started with three consecutive wins, and the 3-0 record surprised everyone.

Why is Wang Chao so strong? Wherever he goes, which team is the favourite? Even the performance of the teammates will be much better.

On November 2, the Nets returned to their home court and defeated the Bucks 117-103. Wiggins' Bucks are still a weak team at the moment, but Jason, who has won a championship with the Rockets. After Kidd went around and around, he still came to the Bucks and began to coach Brother Alphabet, under his tutelage, Brother Alphabet has begun to practice the set of point forwards, and it is not surprising that by waiting for next season, Brother Alphabet will be able to rely on his height of 2.11 meters and the Greek monster-like body after weight gain, and begin to emerge in the league.

On November 4, the Nets defeated the Atlanta Hawks, who had the first record in the East last season, 109-104 at home, and won five consecutive victories!

The Nets' winning streak has silenced local media reporters in New York.

According to the current trend, the Nets may really have a 66-win record in the regular season! If that's the case, it's a disaster for the Knicks!

Because the Knicks are still not having a good time this season.

Cameron. Anthony is back from injury to partner the team's newly selected interior core Kristaps. Porzingis had a good effect, but the Knicks' record did not improve much, with only a 2-3 record in the previous five games.

This record has actually improved a lot compared with last season, but watching the rival Nets in the same city win consecutive games, but their side keeps losing, this feeling is like seeing the neighbor child who has always looked down on him suddenly get ahead, not only with an annual salary of one million, but also won Bai Fumei, the envy and jealousy of the winner of the proper life, plus a little sour.

This is also the reason why when the Nets signed Wang Chao, local media reporters in New York couldn't help but take the initiative to ridicule and provoke, New York is the territory of the Knicks in their eyes, not the Nets, an alien hillbilly.

But now that this foreign hillbilly has started to on their heads, you can say disgusting or not, right?

On November 6, the Nets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 110-91 to celebrate a six-game winning streak.

Kobe Bryant, who returned from injury, started his retirement tour as always, scoring 21 points on 8-of-26 shooting in the game, and the new champion Towns could only watch from the sidelines.

The Nets, who have won six in a row, beat the Bucks again at home for a seven-game winning streak, and they will next travel to Houston to face the Rockets.

In the preseason, Wang Chao received countless flowers and applause when he came to the Rockets, without a trace of abuse against him, and when he officially returned to the court in the regular season, Wang Chao was still greeted with cheers.

The general manager of the Rockets personally presented the ring of the Rockets' 14-15 season championship to Wang Chao before the game began.

Then the two teams began to fight.

The strength of the Rockets in the new season is actually not weak, after all, there is Leonard's basic handicap.

Wang Chao played for the Rockets for four years, and the two strongest players he cultivated were Leonard and Butler.

The current Leonard, in terms of true strength, is no longer inferior to the Ibaka who won the championship with the Raptors in the 18-19 season.

So far in the regular season, the Rockets have played eight games with a 5-3 record, and Leonard's performance in these five games has delighted Rockets fans, he can contribute 28.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists while averaging 35 minutes per game, which is already completely a top superstar.

Although Wang Chao has always looked at Leonard and Butler with equal eyes, he also believes that Butler's diligence and hard work make his achievements not inferior to Leonard.

But there is an objective fact that has always existed, and that is that Leonard has averaged more than 25 points per game in three seasons of his career, with the highest season averaging 27.1 points per game, and the playoff scoring explosion is better than the regular season.

Butler's highest scoring average in the regular season was just 23.9 points.

Again, data doesn't represent everything, but it is an important reference standard to measure the strength of players.

And Leonard isn't alone, the Rockets tossed around for a summer, but still put together a lineup that looks a little like that.

Jeremy Lin, Belinelli, Leonard, Al. Jefferson, Whiteside.

Although the ceiling of this lineup is not very good, the lower limit is not low, with Leonard and Whiteside in defense, and Leonard and Jefferson on the offensive end can also support it.

Al. Jefferson is known as the ball blind detector, because of his low-key personality and style of play, he has never been well-known in the league, and has never been selected as an All-Star, but he was a fierce man at his peak, averaging 23 points and 11 rebounds per game.

Two seasons ago, Jefferson was still averaging 21.8 points and 10.8 rebounds per game, but last season his stats slipped to 16.6 points and 8.4 rebounds as he got older.

In the 15-16 season, the 31-year-old Jefferson is no longer the brave man he used to be, but as Leonard's right-hand man, he can still contribute 15 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.

Unlike the preseason game, when the two sides pretended, in the regular season, the two teams started a fight, and they wanted to do it for real!

In the jump ball stage, Whiteside outscored Jokic with almost no pressure.

In the area of athletic talent, Huai Shen completely exploded the Nets' interior twin towers.

Jeremy Lin dribbled across the half court and saw Leonard, who was directly opposite Wang Chao, hesitated slightly, but passed the ball to Leonard.

In four of the last eight games, Leonard has scored 30+ points in four of his games, and his excellent scoring ability has been fully proven.

The head coach of the Rockets at this time is still McHale, and McHale, who is well versed in hugging his thighs and slapping sycophants, habitually uses Leonard as Wang Chao in the game, and the results of the previous games are not bad.

It's just that this time Leonard and Wang Chao are directly opposed, and even McHale is a little bottomless in his heart.

After all, in the past few years of daily training, he has seen Wang Chao beat Leonard and Butler in heads-up countless times.

Not long ago, Butler, who joined the Spurs, just played a game with Wang Chao, and McHale watched that game, which was called a tragic word, Butler was almost unable to catch the ball by Wang Chao in the game.

Although Leonard's strength and talent are slightly stronger than Butler's, can he really perform better in the face of Wang Chao, who is going all out?

Holding the ball and facing Wang Chao, the expression on Leonard's face was a little eager to try.

He is not good at words, but he can compete with his former eldest brother, and he also wants to see how big the real gap between himself and Wang Chao is now.

Wang Chao saw Leonard's intentions, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Boy, have you forgotten how I abused you before?" If you dare to challenge me in this game, I'll make you remember that feeling. ”

Wang Chao's words made Leonard's heart suddenly cold in half.

didn't have to do anything, just this sentence made him recall the unbearable past.

Gritting his teeth, Leonard knew that he couldn't think about it anymore, and if he continued to remember, I am afraid he would not have the courage to challenge Wang Chao!

Holding the ball and lowering the center of gravity, Leonard suddenly accelerated towards Wang Chao's left side, but Wang Chao's speed was faster than him, and he took the first step to stop his breakthrough path.

Wang Chao's strength and confrontation ability are not comparable to Leonard's, and it is never wise to break through in front of him.

Leonard subconsciously protected the ball with both hands, stopped, looked for teammates left and right, and wanted to pass the ball out first to readjust the attack.

But at this time, Wang Chao had already seen the opportunity, and a fierce hand knife cut into the basketball, and the huge force suddenly surged, even Leonard's wide and exaggerated palms couldn't catch the basketball and was cut off.

Wang Chao took advantage of the situation and copied the basketball in his hand, and accelerated towards the Rockets' basket.

With the talent of a fast attacker, Wang Chao's sprint speed after breaking the ball is amazing, even in the dribble, Leonard and other Rockets players can't catch up with him at all, Wang Chao, who galloped all the way to the penalty area, jumped directly and ended the attack with a signature tomahawk dunk.

Almost subconsciously, the Rockets home fans cheered for Wang Chao's dunk, but as soon as they cheered, many fans reacted that this was the Nets score.

The fast-break counterattack after the steal, this scene has appeared countless times in the past four years in the Rockets' games, and Wang Chao's rapid counterattack is the best in the league. James is also slightly inferior in mobility.

Rocket fans also didn't expect that one day, Wang Chao would actually wear the uniforms of other teams and carry out such a fast counterattack on his home court.

"After you leave me, will you continue with this old trick?"

Wang Chao, who completed the dunk, turned his head and looked at Leonard, who was chasing behind him just now but couldn't catch up with him. "Use your brain a little, I expect more from you than just a little bit of ability."

Although Wang Chao had his own selfishness in cultivating Leonard and Butler and others, the main purpose was to let them help him win the championship, but after all, he got along for four years, and he still had some feelings, Wang Chao didn't know whether the Leonard he trained could reach the Leonard trained by the famous coach Popovich, but at least he would use his highest standards to demand the other party, after all, before joining the Clippers and starting the journey of injury and illness, Leonard is the league's best chance to surpass James and Durant.

Wang Chao's cynicism successfully aroused Leonard's anger, the offense and defense switched, and Leonard continued to attack resolutely on his own in the next ball, but this time he did play smarter as Wang Chao requested.

Leonard, who was 2.01 meters, faced Wang Chao, who was 2.06 meters tall and crushed him in all directions with speed and strength, and a blind heads-up was extremely unwise.

Whiteside ran out of the inside to cover for him, and the latter immediately accelerated and rushed towards the inside in disguise.

But just two steps have been activated, and Wang Chao appears on Leonard's side like a ghost.

Leonard's reaction was fast, and he made a quick stop, and then jumped on the spot and shot quickly.

His shot was extremely fast, and Wang Chao didn't have time to block, but because the shot was too hasty, the shot didn't hit, and the basketball bounce missed the frame, and then Jokic grabbed the defensive rebound.

"Blocking and dismantling cover really doesn't work......"

On the sidelines, Rockets head coach McHale frowned.

At this moment, he finally experienced what it was like for the head coaches of other teams to face Wang Chao.

It's terrifying to have such a player on the field.

Both offensive and defensive ends tend to be invincible, and they simply can't think of any way to target and limit each other.

Wang Chao is not afraid of blocking and dismantling, of course, because of the talent skill cover prediction, a single blocking and dismantling cover has no way to delay him for too long, and Wang Chao, who has an absolute advantage in speed, is naturally not difficult to catch up with Leonard.

Leonard was not discouraged by another failed attack, and he tried a variety of offensive tactics, including his best off-ball play in the past.

It must be admitted that the off-ball style of play can be regarded as Leonard's relatively highest scoring efficiency in the face of Wang Chao, because in the process of running without the ball, Leonard can get the assistance of his teammates to block and dismantle the screen, and one can't stop Wang Chao, then two.

Although the talent skill of covering prediction is very strong, it is not invincible after all, when two interior players perform double blocking and dismantling at the same time, Wang Chao can't immediately bypass the two people even if he can predict it.

Although other players on the Nets' side can make up for Leonard when Wang Chao is separated, it is also defense, and the defensive quality of other Nets players cannot be compared with Wang Chao's defensive quality.

After all, Leonard's current offensive ability is already at the top level of the league, and he may be deflated in the face of Wang Chao, who is familiar with him, but it is different in the face of others.

With the help of his teammates, Leonard's offensive efficiency was finally restored, but the Rockets were still at an absolute disadvantage.

On the one hand, the offensive efficiency of Wang Chao and Leonard, the main cores of the two teams, is far apart, and on the other hand, the starting lineup of the Rockets has no way to compete with the Nets in terms of offensive firepower.

Jeremy Lin is no longer the Lin madness that caused a sensation all over the world in 12 years, Belinelli is a fixed-point three-point shooter who does not have the ability to attack independently, not to mention Whiteside, a pure blue-collar center, in the entire starting lineup, it is also Al. Jefferson also has some ability to attack on his own, but his scoring style is limited to the basket, and although the Nets' interior twin towers are not very good defensively, the only advantage in height is there.

Jokic is 2.11 meters and Lopes is 2.13 meters, compared to Jefferson, who is relatively short in the interior center, the defensive effect is still very good.

As a result of the lineup gap, the Rockets were trailing by more than double digits at halftime and saw no chance of a comeback.

Bench time, Deron and Joe. Johnson's rotation of the Nets can also effectively suppress the Rockets and further expand the score.

The end result was a 106-98 win over the Rockets on the road, winning eight in a row.

This Wang Chao vs former little brother Leonard focused on the showdown and ended with Wang Chao's easy victory.

Leonard shot 8 of 15, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 24 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, which was not bad, but compared with Wang Chaoyi, the latter's quasi-triple-double data of 29 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists was still slightly inferior.

What's more, anyone who has watched the game knows that Leonard's data is basically obtained after misplacement or teammates helping to block and cover the distance from Wang Chao, and when facing Wang Chao's defense, his offensive efficiency is extremely low, and he has hardly scored a few goals in front of Wang Chao.

On the other hand, Wang Chao almost always scored the ball in front of Leonard, who was selected for the best team last year and is known as a super defensive player second only to Wang Chao in today's league outside defensive ability, and he can't prevent Wang Chao's offense at all.

"Leonard may be a high-quality young player with the potential to become a top superstar in the league, but he is obviously still far from Wang Chao, who has reached the peak, and the Rockets can rejoice that Leonard, who was born in 91, is only 24 years old, and he still has a long way to go, and he has every chance to follow the path of his former boss Wang Chao."

"The game between the Rockets and the Nets also proved once again that without Wang Chao, Houston may not be able to win the championship in a short period of time, and the Brooklyn Nets have shown surprising dominance at the beginning of the new season, becoming the only two teams in the league that have not lost so far, and the other is last season's Western Conference Finals team, the Golden State Warriors!"

After last season's Western Conference Finals fiasco, the team seems to have completely transformed. Curry has shown strong offensive ability in the new season, and the efficiency value from beyond the three-point line can even be compared to Wang Chao, and the Warriors have won ten consecutive victories so far, two more than the Nets, who have just won eight consecutive wins! I'm sure everyone is curious, who of these two winning streaks will lose the first game of the season first? ”

It's like you're struggling in the air.

The Nets and Warriors each dominated the Eastern and Western Divisions, with the Warriors playing two more games earlier than the Nets due to the schedule, but the Nets were not to be outdone, and then won the next two games cleanly, bringing the winning streak to 10 games.

The Nets have won the opening 10 in a row, which has set a new record for the best start in team history, and they are still breaking this record!

On November 17, they defeated the Hawks at home, the Celtics at home on the 18th, the Pistons away on the 20th, and the Celtics in overtime on the 22nd.

So far, the Nets' winning streak has reached 14 consecutive wins!

The reporters in New York have completely lost their voices, and they are no longer even able to raise their mouths.

When they started with three consecutive wins, five consecutive wins or even eight consecutive wins, they could still say that the Nets' record was just good luck and the opponents they met were a little weak, but now they have won 14 in a row, which is no longer a reason for luck to simply prevaricate the past.

In the history of the NBA, the number of wins in more than 10 consecutive wins is not particularly large, although 14 consecutive wins is not enough to make the Nets famous in the all-time winning streak, but it is definitely not to be underestimated, and the Nets' winning streak continues, God knows if they will directly play a wave of 20 consecutive wins?

On November 25, in Game 15 of the Nets' regular season, the team once again encountered a strong opponent, the Oklahoma City Thunder led by Durant and Westbrook.

In the past two years, the Thunder have achieved nothing, whether in the regular season or in the playoffs, the performance has been disappointing.

The duo of Durant + Westbrook, the twin stars, does not have any advantage in the West, whether it is against the Rockets, Warriors or Spurs, and when the free market opened in the summer, the Thunder did not have any effective reinforcements in terms of recruitment.

As a result, at the start of the new season, the Thunder still only had Durant and Westbrook to support the team's offense.

There is no doubt about the personal ability of the twin stars, although Durant did not win the regular season MVP, his personal ability has not been affected in the slightest, and Wei Shao is also in the peak competitive state.

The two have an average of 30+8+5 and 26+7+10 data per game, respectively, and the data are the top superstar-level performances in the league.

But it was difficult for the two of them to drag the Thunder out of the abyss in the west.

Before the Nets, the Thunder had a record of only 9 wins and 6 losses, ranking sixth in the West, and were far behind by the Warriors who won all of them and the Spurs, who were also able to maintain a super high winning rate.

In this game with the Nets, there are not many people who are optimistic that the Thunder team can win, after all, it has not been a day or two since Durant was suppressed by Wang Chao, which has made people begin to form a kind of inertial thinking - Durant can't win Wang Chao.

And so it is.

In this game, Durant shot 14 of 22 and scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Wang Chao, who had 30 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, did not fall behind, but the Thunder were still defeated by the Nets.

The reason is also very simple, except for Durant who scored 32 points, only Westbrook scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists, and no one else scored a double-double.

On the other hand, on the Nets' side, the starting five all scored double-doubles, and there were also Delon with 11 points and Joe with 13 points on the bench. Johnson, the huge gap in the lineup is something that Durant and Westbrook alone can't make up.

Sometimes, the performance of a star can indeed save the team in a crisis, but only if the opponent does not have a star who can stand up and respond in time.

Obviously, the Nets are not among them, no matter how Durant leads the team to blow the horn of counterattack with personal scoring during the game, Wang Chao can respond with scoring as soon as possible, and hit the momentum of the Thunder team every time he chases points.

This is also the main reason why the Thunder lost.

"Squeak——!

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Durant stood on the court, looking at the dazzling score on the scoreboard, with a blank expression.

Wang Chao couldn't beat the other party when he was in the Magic team, he still couldn't win when he was in the Rockets, and now the other party is in the Nets, a team with a win rate of less than 50% last season, with a group of unknown players, still can't win.

This has already left Durant with a deep sense of self-doubt.

What the hell is this? Am I not good? Or is there too much difference in the strength of the team?

Durant has begun to realize that if he continues like this, he may not be able to win a championship for the rest of his career.

At this time, Durant's desire for a championship is far greater than that of his own time and space at the same time, because although Durant in the 15-16 season of another time and space did not have a championship, he had a regular season MVP trophy and four scoring titles, and also led the team to the finals.

But Durant in this time and space is different, Wang Chao's existence not only suppressed James, but also suppressed Durant, so far Durant has not even had a scoring champion, nor has a regular season MVP, and the honor that can be won a little bit is a few best teams, and Wang Chao has been squeezed out of a burst several times.

Durant, who was born in 1988, just turned 29 a few months ago, and there is not much left for him to move up in history.

Next summer, Durant will usher in a contract year, and the Thunder have arranged for management to negotiate a contract extension with Durant's agent at the beginning of the season.

The current Thunder team can't even beat the Nets, let alone the Cavaliers and Warriors, who are the favorites to win the championship?

Wang Chao noticed Durant's distracted expression, which also reminded him of the most difficult road that Adu was about to embark on next summer.

That's kind of interesting.

He has no doubt that there is no limit to what Durant can do for a championship.

But the problem is that the current Warriors are also different from the original time and space, and the existence of Cousins makes the Warriors, who should have salary space next summer, unable to sign Durant at all.

So the question is, what will Durant choose in order to win the championship when the time comes?

The Cavaliers and Warriors are the two favorites to win the championship, and the other teams in the league do not have enough championship strength.

There are not many teams for Durant to take a difficult path, maybe Durant will really become a sad star like Barkley and Malone, and because there is no regular season MVP, Adu's all-time ranking may be even worse......

Durant is miserable or not, it has nothing to do with Wang Chao, anyway, as long as he can win, any enemy who stops in front of Wang Chao, whether it is James, Durant or others, will be trampled by Wang Chao and become his stepping stone!

The Nets won 15 games in a row against the Thunder, and then the team's winning streak stopped at 15.

On November 28, in Game 16 of the regular season, the Nets challenged the Cleveland Cavaliers away and lost to the opponent, ushering in the first defeat of the regular season.

The loss in this game was both reasonable and unexpected.

The Nets, who have won 15 consecutive games, have beaten many strong opponents in the league, and the most likely to stop them are naturally the two favorites for the new season, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors.

The Cavaliers' record against the Warriors and the Nets is not as explosive, but it is also a steady one, with a 13-3 record before the Nets meets the Nets, ranking second in the East, behind the 15-0 Nets.

The clash between the two teams can be described as Mars colliding with Earth in the east.

The Cavaliers are one of the few teams in the league that is not inferior to the Nets in terms of interior height and also has twin towers.

Joel. Embiid + Paul. Gasol.

After Embiid's first season in his career, his level has improved even further, especially the development of mid-to-long-range shooting, and Cleveland fans are ecstatic with his outstanding talent.

As for Gasol, although he is 36 years old in the new season, he still has a good competitive state, and because the Cavaliers are limited by the ball, the average data per game in the new season is only 12.1 points and 9.6 rebounds, but in the original time and space, Gasol, who played for the Bulls, is still the main core of the team, and can contribute 16.5 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks in the 15-16 season with an average of 31.9 minutes per game.

The talented Embiid and the old and experienced Gasol successfully suppressed the Nets' interior twin towers, and the Cavaliers also blossomed more on the outside, with James and Irving scoring high points with great efficiency.

The Nets' weaknesses in defensive inadequacy were laid bare.

When he was on the Rockets, Wang Chao could join forces with Leonard and Butler to block the opponent's outside line, how could it be Irving's turn to jump around? However, in the case of the Nets, with only Booker and Bogdanovic on the outside, and the offensive firepower of the two who have not yet grown up cannot match Irving, it is natural to lose.
