After the schedule entered February, Wang Chao and Harden seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they invariably reduced the number of shots in the game.

To be precise, it should be Harden who lowered his shot count first, because he has deeply realized that it is boring to want to compete with Wang Chao.

At the beginning, the Mavericks did turn the tide because of Harden's super scoring performance, winning a lot of games that should have been lost.

But as the scoring competition between Harden and Wang Chao began, it was a little sour.

Harden, who shot frantically in order to score, even ignored his own shooting percentage and efficiency, causing the entire tactical system of the Mavericks to be affected and unable to operate smoothly.

Regardless of how weak the Mavericks' current tactical system of the entire team is, after all, it is a system built on the entire team, and no matter how strong Harden is, it is impossible to replace the rest of the team on the court.

In this regard, even the current Wang Chao is not good, when he scored super high points in the last three games in January, he also needed Gobert and Tucker and others to support the team's defensive system to ensure the team's basic victory.

Wang Chao knows very well that no matter how strong his personal scoring ability is, it is impossible to completely cover the game and directly 1v5, which is why he has never replicated that scoring method since the 11-12 season, after he reached an average of 40 points per game in the regular season.

Therefore, in February, seeing that Harden reduced his shots and returned to his normal game state, Wang Chao also returned to averaging more than 30 points per game, and at the same time could have more energy to invest in rebounds, assists and defense, and the team's strength increased instead of decreasing.

Before the start of the All-Star Weekend in February, the Nuggets had a 6-1 record in seven games, and the record was slightly wider than the closely pursued Warriors.

The 2018 All-Star Weekend, which took place Feb. 17-19, was hosted at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the City of Angels.

The Nuggets' final game before the All-Star break was on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks on Feb. 15.

In this game, Wang Chao and his All-Star partner Antetokounmpo had a one-on-one battle.

As a result, the still slightly immature Brother Alphabet suffered in front of Wang Chao, shooting 7 of 17, only 18 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, in addition to 6 turnovers.

Originally, if it was only Wang Chao, Brother Alphabet would not be so miserable, after all, he played purely on the field by relying on physical talent, relying on a reckless word, after the success of weight gain, he was already much stronger than Wang Chao in terms of strength.

Even if he is as strong as Wang Chao, it is impossible to completely limit Brother Alphabet on the defensive end, just like in the face of James, Durant and even Leonard at this stage, Wang Chao cannot completely suppress the opponent and cannot score.

But the problem is that Wang Chao really understands the technical characteristics of Brother Alphabet too well, so when he is in a defensive position, the outside line is completely short of the opponent, and if you have the ability, you can shoot three points in front of me to kill me.

And when Brother Alphabet forced the ball to break through and impact the basket, the Nuggets' interior waiting for him was not only Wang Chao, but also Gobert, who was taller than him and had longer arms.

In the face of this kind of battle, Brother Alphabet can't do it without kneeling.

This is like the future Brother Alphabet in two consecutive regular season MVP, when he was in the prime of life to represent the national team in international competitions, but he was beaten miserably, and the head coach of the national team couldn't stand it anymore and pressed him to the bench, which led the team to win a few games.

The biggest difference between the rules of international basketball and the NBA is the rule of defending three seconds, FIBA does not defend for three seconds, allowing joint defense, so in international games, you can often see that the opponent often has one or two big centers under the basket, and there is no movement at all.

Even if Brother Alphabet's talent is strong, it is not strong enough to hit people with the ball and will not be blown foul, when Brother Alphabet's ball-holding breakthrough is limited, and the outside line does not have any projection ability, his offense will not have any threat, and it is the most correct choice to replace him at this time.

Wang Chao's arrangement of Brother Alphabet is a similar way, even if the difference in the rules of the NBA and FIBA games limits the quality of defense, but this time difference Wang Chao can make up for it with his own personal ability, and it is naturally easy and simple to educate Brother Alphabet.

After leading the team to defeat the Bucks on the 15th, Wang Chao did not return to the Nuggets, but directly transferred from Milwaukee and flew directly to Los Angeles.

As early as a few days ago, Miranda and Xiao Keer, who settled in New York, went to Los Angeles first to get together with Wang Chao during the All-Star Weekend.

After arriving in Los Angeles by plane, Wang Chao immediately went to the mansion in Beverly Hills, which he had purchased at a huge cost of tens of millions of dollars about a year ago.

"Baba!"

As soon as Wang Chao entered the house, Xiao Keer ran towards him in a hurry.

Xiao Keer, who is already two and a half years old, is carved in pink, although she is still very young, she has faintly seen that she has perfectly inherited her mother Miranda. Keer's excellent genes will inevitably become a super beauty who will bring disaster to the country and the people in the future.

"Little Kerr, do you want your father?"

Wang Chao smiled and picked up Xiao Ke'er and spun around, causing the little girl to giggle.

"Where's your mother?"

Holding Xiao Keer, Wang Chao walked to the living room.

"Ma Ma is out, and there are only Kerr and Aunt Candace at home."

Xiao Keer said in a glutinous voice, and at the same time, Wang Chao also saw the figure of Candace in the restaurant.

"Coming back? It's almost time to eat, so let's get ready to eat. ”

A moment later, at the dinner table, looking at a sumptuous meal, Wang Chao couldn't help but shake his head.

"It's good to have someone bring you what you want to eat, you don't need to be so troublesome."

"What's the trouble with this, I usually make my own food when I live alone." Candace said: "And the Chinese cuisine I learned not long ago, you can taste it authentically." ”

Miranda and little Kerr have settled in New York for a long time, and Candace prefers to stay in Los Angeles, she has now officially terminated her contract with Victoria's Secret and has become the CEO of an internationally renowned fashion brand.

Of course, the owner of this internationally renowned brand is Wang Chao.

This multi-million mansion is a gift from Candace on her birthday last year, a large luxury villa in Beverly Hills, worth more than 50 million meters, an absolute super mansion.

"Aunt Candace, it's delicious!"

Little Kerr also sat at the dining table decently, holding her exclusive cutlery.

"Yes, then Xiao Ke'er will eat more." Candace said to Xiao Ke'er with a smile, and then glanced at Wang Chao with some resentment.

"After my birthday this year, I will be thirty......"

"Ahem......"

Wang Chao almost choked without swallowing, coughed twice in succession, and then looked at Candace.

He understood what Candace meant.

When Miranda was pregnant with Little Kerr, Candace had the idea of giving Wang Chao a monkey, but Wang Chao refused, not that he couldn't afford it, but that Candace was simply stimulated by Miranda at that time and made an irrational judgment, so she wanted her to think about it after calming down before making a decision.

After calming down, Candace really didn't continue to insist on her thoughts, and now, before she knew it, almost three years had passed.

Even with the help of Wang Chao, Candace finally made a career in the past three years.

Now, Candace, who is approaching thirty years old, has put her focus back on her family, and she also wants children, especially when she sees that little Kerr is so cute, and she can't contain the overflow of motherhood.

This time she wasn't there to talk to Miranda. Keer is jealous.

But with the passage of time and the soaring value of Wang Chao, she has become more and more comfortable about this matter.

The more high-end social circles in the mixed rice country, the clearer it is about what kind of place it is.

Not to mention a billionaire like Wang Chao, or even those multimillionaires with a little money, the mistresses they may have can't be counted on one hand.

Don't go far to say, NBA well-known star Kobe Bryant. Bryant, Candace used to be his fans, the Eagle County incident and Shaq have long been known, and Vanessa and Kobe Bryant divorced in 2011 because she found out that Kobe Bryant actually had as many as 100 mistresses and had definite evidence.

In contrast, although Wang Chao is a bit of a flower, the women so far are limited to her and Miranda, and he is much richer than Kobe.

Therefore, Candace still decided to give Wang Chao a monkey too!

Seeing that Candace had a firm look in her eyes and had completely made up her mind, Wang Chao naturally would not refuse.

It's just that......

He turned his head, looked at Xiao Ke'er, who flickered and flickered Carslan's big eyes, thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's not convenient for the time being, so let's do it, after leading the team to win the championship this year, how about I join the Clippers and come directly to Los Angeles?" ”

"Really?"

Candace's eyes lit up when she heard this.

If Wang Chao can stay in Los Angeles, he can get tired of her for a long time, even if he needs to go out to play away half of the time, how can he stay in Los Angeles for the other half of the time!

"If you want to, then come."

Wang Chao nodded indifferently.

To be honest, after leading the Nuggets to win the championship before, he has never thought about which team he wants to join, and it is actually okay to come to Los Angeles to play with this opportunity, anyway, as long as it is a team that has not won the championship, in his opinion, which one is not bad.

During the 17-18 season, the Clippers began to prepare for a rebuild, and last summer they brought the team's core player Chris Brown. Paul was traded away from the team, and at the end of January this year, he was personally selected by the team, All-Star power forward Blake. Griffin traded to the Pistons.

At present, the only star player left in the Clippers is Jordan Jr., which is also because Jordan Jr.'s contract will expire at the end of this season, which can directly free up enough salary space to rebuild the team.

In the original history, the Clippers rebuilt at the speed of light, only one season in the 17-18 season, followed by the 18-19 season to return to the playoffs with the eighth record in the West, and in the summer of 19, successfully acquired Leonard and George, two top stars, officially completed the rebuild, and stepped into the championship ranks.

Of course, Leonard and George's two pendulums continued to be injured and stopped, and they never made achievements, which is a later story.

Wang Chao chose to join the Clippers in the summer of 18, which is completely operational, because first of all, the Clippers' lineup in the 18-19 season is not bad, with Super Sixth Man Luis. Williams, a quality small forward Tobias who Griffin traded from the Pistons. Harris, including power forward Daniro, who has a 20 million contract. Gallinari is a high-quality player who can reach the standard of 20+ points per game as long as he has enough shots.

In Wang Chao's impression, in the 18-19 season, the Lakers led by James only ranked tenth in the West, even if there was a relationship between James's injury, but James, Ingram, Kuzma, Lonzo. The fact that the Lakers, who had many high-quality players such as Ball, failed to make the playoffs, but were stubbornly advanced to the playoffs by a group of unknown mud legs of the Clippers with a 48-34 record, which is enough to show their strength.

The three players mentioned above by Wang Chao in the 18-19 season were Harris 20.9 points and 7.9 rebounds, Louis Williams 20 points, 3 rebounds and 5.4 assists, and Danilo Gallinari 19.8 points, 6 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

In addition, there is a Monteres. Harrell, who averaged 16.6 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, is right, the Harrell who was cut off by Wang Chao in the Nets.

It must be mentioned here that the Clippers traded Paul to the Nets, and the players included Harrell, Powell and Brogdon, three players who will make a name for themselves in the past two years.

In other words, the current Clippers have a good fighting power in the lineup, including Harris and Luis. Williams, Gallinari, Harrell, Powell, Brogdon and maybe even Jordan Jr. who is ready to run away in the summer.

This basic disk alone is enough for Wang Chao to operate it well.

Even if a better coach puts the team's roster structure and tactics in order, the Clippers have every chance to compete in the top half of the West next season.

This is not an exaggeration at all, after all, the Clippers without Powell and Brogdon in the original history also finished eighth in the West with a 48-win record, and their record is only five wins away from the Trail Blazers and Rockets, who are third and fourth in the West, with a 53-win record.

On the contrary, the Clippers received an 18-year first-round pick from the Nets and Pistons, which was not of much value.

Griffin's Pistons record is not bad, ranking ninth in the East, and the record is not bad with the Clippers, all hovering on the edge of the lottery area, at most about thirteen or fourteen positions in the first round, not to mention the Nets, who currently have the second record in the East, and are still competing fiercely with the Raptors and Cavaliers for the ranking in the East, and they are properly at the bottom.

In 2018, there were many high-quality players, including the peerless duo Doncic, Trey. Young and champion Ayton and defensive titan Jalen Jr. Jackson, but these rookies are all top-five picks, and the three first-round picks in the Clippers are completely useless.

"As for the Clippers, we still have to operate it a little bit."

Wang Chao thought in his heart, for the sake of a happy life with Candace in the next year, it was completely worth using his brain a little.

In this way, before the All-Star Weekend began, Wang Chao had already finalized his destination for next season, and if the reason was stated, I am afraid it would be jaw-dropping.
