Chapter 359: Wang Chao: Wade is the only player who has beaten me twice in the finals, and he deserves respect!

Fans are no wonder that Wang Chao's team will quickly top the league record at the beginning of the season, but when Wang Chao's team fails, it is really a strange thing.

But having said that, the Clippers actually won all of them in this wave of deaths, winning the Bucks one after another, and the Warriors and Spurs are still very surprised.

Is the Clippers a little too strong? Especially on the offensive end, including Wang Chao, six people in the team scored double-doubles, five of them averaged more than 15 points per game, and the team averaged more than 40 three-point shots per game, but the shooting rate remained at about 38%, which was comparable to the Warriors!

The combination of high production and efficiency has allowed the Clippers to rank first in the league in points per game and leave the rest of the team far behind.

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

On November 17, the Clippers, who finally returned to their home court, welcomed another strong opponent, the Brooklyn Nets.

The Clippers, who had previously killed all sides on the road, fell into a bitter battle on their home court, and finally lost to the Nets 115-119.

The reason why the Clippers lost to the Nets was not the super outside combination of Nets Durant + Paul + Booker, but the inside.

In this game, Brooke, who had performed quite well before. López was countered by Nikolai. Jokic completely exploded, and the latter played a dominant super performance, scoring 31 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists in the game, almost on par with Wang Chao with 36 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.

Jokic in the 18-19 season has fully grown up, and he has been able to average 20 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game in the original time and space, and occasionally have highlight performances, and it is not surprising to hit a triple-double of 30+10+10.

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

has been suppressed for a long time, and it is normal to suddenly have a small universe explosion, but the Clippers were unlucky enough to encounter Jokic's outburst, 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 the only one, there are Durant, Booker and the experienced and calculating Paul on the outside.

In terms of squad depth, the Nets dare to say that they are second in the league, and no team dares to say that they are the first, not even the Lakers, who are also extremely exaggerated in the current lineup.

In fact, the Lakers' current record is quite unsatisfactory compared with the Clippers and Nets, which are at the top of the league.

After all, not anyone is like Wang Chao, before joining a team, the team's lineup, player technical characteristics and playing style are all done in advance, and once you join, you can play the best state of the team as long as you train according to tactics for a period of time.

The Lakers obviously need time to get used to it, and to be exact, Cousins and Towns need time to get used to James' ball-handling style of play.

The Clippers, who lost to the Nets at home, ended their winning streak again, but the game against the Nets was also the last tough opponent the Clippers encountered in November.

The Clippers have six games left unplayed throughout November, against the Hawks, Wizards, Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, Suns and Kings.

Of these teams, only the Trail Blazers are currently in the playoffs, but the Trail Blazers' strength is limited, even if the team's current roster is stronger than in the 18-19 season at the same time, because Aldridge has not left, and Lillard and McCollum have 200 million outside shots.

But the problem is that under the disruption of Wang Chao, the number of super teams in the league is far greater than the original 18-19 season, so the Trail Blazers' lineup is only barely ranked in the top half of the West region.

In the face of these weaker opponents, the Clippers did not relent, and directly took them all away, winning six consecutive victories at the end of November, and the record also came to 19-2.

With a 19-2 record and an average triple-double of 28+13+12 per game, Wang Chao was voted Player of the Month for the first time, and he was selected as the Player of the Month in November at the same time in the East.

The Bucks have a 15-5 record in the past month and a half, ranking first in the East, one more win than the Nets, and Brother Alphabet himself has averaged 27.3 points, 12.9 rebounds and 6 assists per game in these 20 games, and the statistics are also quite gorgeous.

Although it is only the first month of the 18-19 season, in the latest MVP list, Wang Chao and Brother Alphabet have been ranked first and second on the list, the difference is that in the team power list, the Clippers also rely on a 19-2 record to reach the top, but the Bucks have a 15-5 record but can only rank fourth.

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 much stronger than the Bucks who only have Brother Alphabet and Wiggins.

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

And that's exactly what happened.

In the 18-19 season, Brother Alphabet 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 knew that if it weren't for the Warriors' 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 inferior to the Warriors and Nets this season, so there is a high probability that the Bucks of Brother Alphabet will not be the opponent of these aircraft carrier teams.

Wiggins's adaptability to Brother Alphabet is really not necessarily comparable to Middleton + Brogdon + Lopez.

Not surprisingly, the team that can break through in the East this year and enter the playoffs will most likely be the Nets, unless the Nets have some serious injury problems, which is not completely impossible.

Durant originally suffered the biggest injury of his career in the 18-19 season, and although his super performance with the Nets later told people that he was not affected by the injury, it is an indisputable fact that the Warriors lost the opportunity to win a three-game dynasty in the 18-19 season due to Durant's injury.

As for Paul, he also avoided an injury that should have occurred because of the butterfly effect, which was the injury he was sustained when he played against the Warriors in the Western Conference finals of the 17-18 playoffs.

Injuries are coincidents and uncertainties, but to a certain extent, they are inevitable results, so although Durant and Paul have been healthy, the Nets have been a Finals team in the past two years, playing more games than all other players in the league except Wang Chao, all teams, and the consumption is naturally greater, because the possibility of fatigue and injury is definitely not zero.

Of course, this is just speculation, maybe the luck of the Nets is so good, the four main players in the team can always maintain a healthy competitive state, but not necessarily, the Nets and the Bucks met in advance in the playoffs, and Brother Alphabet's foot crossed time and space to cushion the Nets again?

All in all, Wang Chao doesn't need to think too much about the problem in the east, and he will wait until the finals.

On the west side, Ingram's version of the universe Yong, and the Lakers of James + Twin Towers have to worry a little more, especially the latter, the Clippers are currently the weakest is the inside, Lopez does have a good ability to protect the basket, but it is definitely not good for the inside twin towers of Cousins + Towns, and Wang Chao may be needed to help when the time comes.

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

Don't look at the future Downs, he is an All-Star interior who has contributed an average of 20+10 per game for many years, and his three-point shooting rate has reached more than 40%, which is the most accurate of the interior players, but his lethality in the restricted area can be described as ridiculous.

Speaking of Downs's softness, the most classic scene is the picture of Downs beating Cousins with his back in 19.

In that picture, Downs hits Cousins on his back, his movements are delicate, and the bird sticks to Cousins' chest like a human, grinning with his teeth, but Cousins does not move, and his expression looks speechless.

You're working hard!

are both interior players, and the gap between the strength and confrontation ability of the two is revealed.

Wang Chao has a strength and ability value of 89, and he also has the talent of a fighting maniac to improve his confrontation ability, which is naturally more than enough to deal with a downs!

The topic is far away......

Straight to the point.

After the end of the November schedule, the time entered December, and before the December schedule officially began, Wang Chao took the first step to harvest a good news.

Candace is pregnant.

Wang Chao chose to join the Clippers for a very important reason, because Candace wanted to give him a monkey, and the Clippers are located in Los Angeles and have geographical advantages.

This season has just begun, Candace has won the bid, but pregnancy is just the beginning, if you just let the other party get pregnant, there is no need to go to the Clippers to play, from pregnancy to childbirth, Wang Chao must be by Candace's side, even if it can't be done all the time, but at least half of the home schedule can ensure that Wang Chao can accompany Candace at any time.

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

As a result, the Clippers lost 110-114 on the road to the Dallas Mavericks on Dec. 2.

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 a word.

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

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

This made Wang Chao a little embarrassed.

He is not like some players, deliberately injured and absent, taking the team's top salary but like an uncle, and not playing consecutive away games, but he got away with it, and was questioned by the team that couldn't bear it, and launched an investigation, once the results of the investigation are true, it will really be one of the biggest jokes in the league.

After accompanying Candace to check it out, Wang Chao immediately flew from Los Angeles to New Orleans to join the team, and played normally in the game on December 3, scoring 42 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists to lead the team to win the game.

The Clippers didn't have many tough opponents to face throughout December, including the rematch with the Warriors on December 23 and the Christmas game against the Lakers on December 25.

Of course, in this process, Western teams such as the Spurs, Thunder, Trail Blazers, Nuggets and other Western teams have also played against the Clippers, but their level is obviously a notch lower than that of the Warriors and Lakers.

It is worth mentioning that on December 8, the Clippers defeated the Miami Heat 121-98 at home.

The Heat have now been reduced to a team that has long been out of the playoffs, and although they are not at the bottom of the league, this kind of record is actually the most embarrassing.

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

And the Heat didn't get Whiteside, which made matters worse.

Although the current Heat are not completely rotten, they have also started the rebuilding work, but with their current situation, the rebuilding work is not so simple, after all, they will probably not have a chance to get Jimmy next summer. Butler.

In terms of insidious cunning, Popovich is no better than Pat. Riley cha, how could he easily let go of the Spurs' current absolute core player?

What I want to mention here is, of course, not the development prospects of the Heat, but the team's soul character, Dwayne. Wade.

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

He also wants to emulate Kobe Bryant for a retirement tour, but his coffee position is not at the same level as Kobe. Riley also didn't cooperate with Wade to give this face at all.

As a result, Wade's retirement tour was very embarrassing, and many times he could only exchange jerseys with the most famous or best players of the opponent after the game, in this way to brush up on his presence, reminding the audience that the Flash will retire after this season, and he will really never see it again.

To be reasonable, this method is not very clever, but a little too deliberate, resulting in many people on the Internet sneering at Wade's operation of exchanging jerseys, especially after the 9-point incident, there are more people who mock Wade's retirement tour grade.

In this game, although the Heat lost to the Clippers by a big score, Wade did not look too disappointed, he played 32 minutes off the bench, got 25 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, which can be regarded as a better game this season.

Therefore, as soon as the game ended, he took the initiative to find Wang Chao and exchanged jerseys with Wang Chao with a smile on his face.

For Wade, Wang Chao still likes it, unlike James, who is too scheming and interests first, Wade's loyalty is obvious to all, he sacrificed a lot for the Heat, and in the end he was betrayed by the team, and he can only continue to swallow his anger in order to die in the Heat.

Wang Chao likes Wade, respects Wade, naturally will not give face, and is very enthusiastic to exchange jerseys with the other party, and then praised Wade at the post-game press conference.

"I have lost a total of 3 Finals in my career, two were to Wade's Heat (05, 12), and once to Kobe's Lakers, these 3 Finals losses will always be remembered, and when Wade's jersey goes back, I will frame it and hang it in the honor room at home, he is a great player who deserves everyone's respect!"
