The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Cheng Jie and Wang Meng can get along like ducks in water in the NBA is completely expected by Wang Xiao.

Their own strength, coupled with the experience of playing in the NCAA for several years, made the two of them not have any discomfort after coming to the NBA. Basically, the situation will be the same after Hao Peng joins the NBA next year.

Originally, after Dayao retired, Huaxia basketball once ushered in an extremely dark era, but it didn't take long for the darkness to usher in a new prosperity.

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

...

As time entered December, the Bucks' record changed from explosive to stable. Although they lost some games, they also won more games at the same time, which made the Bucks continue to lead the record list, but the Bucks' Leading the way is definitely not the best.

In the East, the Wizards and the Cavaliers are chasing after the Bucks. The difference between the three teams is only about 2 games, and it is not surprising to overtake them at any time.

In the West, the record of the Clippers and Trail Blazers is not inferior to the three teams in the East.

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

And when several teams competed with each other, a big event happened in the NBA.

Jeremy Lin, a player of the Brooklyn Nets, officially announced in mid-December that he will renounce his American citizenship and return to Chinese nationality, and will 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, as the league's top point guard, has been a favorable candidate for the league's best team for several consecutive years.

Although he always loses to Curry in the selection of the point guard position, he is not bad at all compared to Paul, Westbrook, Rose and other first-line point guards. He even has the upper hand in many confrontations with his strong defense. !

Coach K, who served as the head coach of the American Dream Team in 2016, once said in an interview that he would consider letting Jeremy Lin join the Dream Team. He said that Jeremy Lin reminded him of Kidd, who is both offensive and defensive, with a perfect overall view excellent defender.

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

This kind of thing is too rare!

Over the years, a large number of outstanding talents in China have been poached by foreign countries, especially the United States. There are many talented athletes among them, but few of them will choose to give up the generous 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 nationality and return to his Chinese nationality! And he is a top-level NBA star player!

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

On Huaxia’s side, Jeremy Lin rushed to the hot searches of major portal websites in one fell swoop. Anyone who is a Chinese person on the Internet can see related reports about Jeremy Lin’s return to China. Huaxia also spared no effort in shaping Jeremy Lin into a loyal party The perfect image of patriotism is all kinds of words of praise for Jeremy Lin. The Basketball Association even plans to promote Jeremy Lin as the new generation leader of the Huaxia men's basketball team, making his influence reach the level of Dayao.

On the other hand, in the United States, Jeremy Lin was inevitably boycotted. Some more radical American fans even began to burn Jeremy Lin's jerseys, and held up the "traitor" sign on the field to boycott Jeremy Lin.

There is no way to do this. After all, from the point of view of Huaxia fans, Jeremy Lin gave up his American citizenship to fight for China in the Olympics like a national hero.

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

As an American citizen, he actually joined Huaxia and wanted to fight against the American Dream Team in the Olympics. Isn't this a traitor?

Fortunately, Jeremy Lin was already mentally prepared and turned a blind eye to this.

Compared with what he lost in the United States, he gained more in China.

There is one thing to say, Jeremy Lin’s popularity in the United States itself is not very high. Although the United States is known as free and fair, racial discrimination and skin color discrimination are common. Sales volume and commercial contracts are not even in the top ten.

Now, Jeremy Lin gave up his American nationality and returned to his Chinese nationality, focusing on the Chinese market. The situation is completely different in an instant!

Volunteering to renounce American citizenship made Jeremy Lin's reputation in China soar to the highest point in an instant, and the Basketball Association spared no effort in publicizing Jeremy Lin's popularity. Although it was only a few days, Jeremy Lin has become a benchmark in the Chinese sports circle. figure!

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

Just like what Wang Xiao said, this is definitely a profitable deal!

...

Jeremy Lin successfully returned to Chinese nationality and joined the Chinese men's basketball team. In this way, Wang Xiao's layout is basically announced. With the starting lineup of Jeremy Lin, Cheng Jie, Wang Meng, Yi Jianlian and Hao Peng, he has the confidence to compete with the US team in the Olympic Games Take a good break of the wrist.

But this is all after June next year, and now he still has to focus on the regular season games.

The Bucks' schedule in December is relatively difficult. Not only do they have games against the Wizards and Cavaliers, but they also have away games against the Western Conference Trail Blazers, Clippers, and Spurs.

The most difficult of these is the Christmas War.

On Christmas Day, December 25th, the Bucks flew to Los Angeles to play against the current No. 1 Clippers in the Western Conference.

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

But the overall level of the teams 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. A certain home team that used to be China was also taken away by Wang Xiao, and Harden was taken away by the Cavaliers. howard.

The strength of the entire Western Conference is no longer comparable to that of the Eastern Conference teams, so that the Clippers Paul and Griffin, who are not particularly top-notch configurations, can also sit at the top of the Western Conference record.

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

Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo missed the game due to shoulder discomfort.

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

What's more, Oladipo happened to be facing Chris Paul, the league's top defensive player in the first position.
