NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 379: Six consecutive wins at the start, Candice’s child is born

"squeak--!"

"The buzzer sounded at the end of the game. The Clippers defeated the Lakers 117:109, winning a good start to the new season and continuing their winning streak against the Lakers. It seems that the Lakers' nightmare is still not over."

"The most unbelievable thing is veteran Carmelo Anthony, who was abandoned by the Lakers last season and almost without a ball this summer."

"He actually performed so well in the first game with the Clippers. He made 19 of 10 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 3 free throws, and scored 25 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists. Such a performance is not like that of a player who only holds A player on a veteran’s minimum salary?”

"I don't know how the defeated Lakers feel now. The team's record last season was poor. They believed that Anthony's decline was caused by seizing the ball. Now it seems that it may not be what everyone thought."

For the Lakers, this defeat was a loss and a loss. It was not a shame to lose to the Clippers, but Anthony scored 25 points, but it really made them feel a little uncomfortable.

And the game process made the Lakers feel even more desperate.

Because they experienced a disastrous defeat last season, now it's the new season's turn. Facing the Clippers, whose lineup has declined compared to last season, they still can't find a way to win.

The twin towers inside can't take much advantage when facing the Clippers inside. This is the most disappointing thing.

Although after the whole game, Towns had 21 points and 8 rebounds, and Cousins ​​had 19 points and 10 rebounds. Both of them were close to 20+10, and their performance was not particularly bad.

But as a two-tower combination inside, this kind of performance is a naked failure when facing the Clippers, who mainly use the magic ball style of massive three-pointers from the outside.

Moreover, neither Cousins ​​nor Towns shot less than 50%, which is not as good as the Clippers' outside player Anthony.

Brook Lopez and Howard are the main contributors to limiting the Lakers' interior twin towers.

Especially Howard, Lopez still has a weakness at the basket, that is, his rebounding ability is relatively poor. After all, he averaged only 6.4 rebounds per game throughout his career, which is about the same as Anthony from the outside.

But Howard is different. Although he is 35 years old, after losing weight and gaining muscle, Howard's inside rebounding ability has not weakened at all. It has even become slightly stronger because his footsteps have become more flexible than before.

In addition, the Clippers also have Wang Chao, who is also a top-level rebounder, so the Lakers have not been able to take advantage in terms of rebounds.

The inside line that they depend on for survival cannot have the upper hand. How can the Lakers' outside line make waves with just James alone?

Can't win, can't think of any way to win.

Lakers fans started to use their brains one after another, and then after racking their brains, they desperately discovered that the only chance for the Lakers to defeat the Clippers was to wait for the Clippers to feel cold on the outside and completely unable to make three-pointers.

In other words, they can only rely on their opponents to cause problems to win, rather than working hard on their own.

This method of winning may lead to one or two wins in the regular season, but in the seven-game playoff series, can one still rely on luck to win the entire series?

The regular season has just begun with the first game, but an unprecedented sense of despair has permeated the hearts of all Lakers fans.
-
In fact, in the game against the Lakers, Wang Chao was quite looking forward to Tatum's performance.

Although he is just a transparent person with the Lakers, Tatum is after all a player who has the ability to compete for MVP in the future. Even if he is slightly unworthy of the name due to the strong support from the league, at least he still has the qualifications. He has the lowest level of ability, otherwise why would the alliance praise him?
At least in the future league, Tatum is already considered the absolute leader among young local American players.

And Tatum, who was originally supposed to be with the Celtics this season, was also the season when he really started to show his worth.

In the 19-20 season, Tatum averaged 23.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game with the Celtics. He was the first offensive core of the Green Army. In the playoffs, he averaged 25.7 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists per game. Led the Green Army to the Eastern Conference Finals, but unfortunately lost to the Miami Heat led by Butler in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Wang Chao originally thought that even if Tatum couldn't perform as efficiently as the Celtics in the Lakers, he would definitely stand out and perform well.

But at least he didn't see Tatum's highlights in this game.

Throughout the game, the most thing Tatum did was to stand in the bottom corner, then get into a posture to catch the ball, waiting for when James would pass the ball to him and then shoot a three-pointer.

Tatum's three-pointers are very accurate, especially in the 19-20 season, which can reach more than 40% during the Green Army.

But it's obviously different with the Lakers.

The balls he can catch are usually the rest of the game between James, Towns, and Cousins, especially James, who dribbles the ball in place for 23 seconds, performs various twitching fake moves in place, and then at the last second Throw the ball to his teammates with lightning speed.

Even Curry and even Wang Chao can't stand catching and shooting in a hurry, let alone the young Tatum?

It can only be said that if the orange grows in Huainan, it will be orange, and if it grows in Huaibei, it will become orange.

Tatum was able to quickly grow up to become the team leader in the Celtics, but in the Lakers, he could only be a humble transparent person taking the blame.

Wang Chao was happy to see this situation.

If Tatum remains like this all season and cannot play the Celtics version of strength, then the Lakers will be much easier to deal with.

After defeating the Lakers in the opening game, the Clippers followed up with another strong opponent in the Western Conference, the Golden State Warriors, on the road two days later.

The league has really figured out how to play, and it has given Wang Chao's Clippers team full strength from the very beginning.

There are only 10 games in the second half of October. In addition to the Lakers and Warriors in the opening and second games, the Clippers will also face the Charlotte Hornets on the 6th and the San Antonio Spurs on the 28st. Fill it up directly.

The Warriors are obviously more difficult to deal with than the Lakers. After all, they are the team at the top of the rankings before the start of the regular season, and they are playing at home. Even Clippers fans think this will probably be a tough match for the Clippers. A fierce battle.

However, no one expected that the result of this game would be that the Clippers defeated the Warriors with a near crushing force.

137: 121.

The Clippers beat the Warriors by 16 points at home.

And the score of 137 points in a single game is also a bit exaggerated.

Throughout the game, the Clippers took 53 crazy shots from beyond the three-point line and hit 24 goals. With an exaggerated three-point shooting rate of 45%, they defeated the Warriors, who are known for their three-pointers.

The Warriors actually took quite a few three-pointers, but 42 of 15 shots and a hit rate of only 35.7% were slightly unsatisfactory.

Wang Chao scored 27 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists in this game. He clocked out in the third quarter. In addition to him, the Clippers also had Gallinari who scored 20 points, Lou Williams who scored 21 points, and Harley who scored 16 points. Er, including Anthony, Lopez, Alexander and others all scored in double figures.

The Clippers' offensive firepower is too strong. Even without Harris and Brogdon from last season, the outside firepower has not weakened at all. Even because of the emergence of Alexander, the firepower of holding the ball and attacking the basket has also increased again.

The result is that after two games, facing the Warriors and Lakers, who are first and second in the strength list, the Clippers won by big scores, and their offensive firepower was not reduced at all compared to last season.As expected, any team in the league, as long as it has Wang Chao, is definitely the strongest team in the league, and it doesn't even need to have one.

At the beginning of the regular season, they defeated two powerful teams, the Lakers and the Warriors, which made fans realize how ridiculous ESPN's new season strength rankings are. The first and second teams in the strength rankings all lost to the third-place Clippers by a wide margin. What other reference can this thing have?
The Clippers' winning streak continues.

On October 10, the Clippers defeated the Phoenix Suns 26:130 in an away game and won their third consecutive victory.

On October 10, the Clippers challenged the Charlotte Hornets away.

The Hornets are still configured with the top three players in Charlotte, with Davis as the core leader and Kemba Walker and Oladipo as assistants. This lineup is considered relatively strong in the less competitive Eastern Conference. The Hornets also entered the playoffs in the first half of the division last season, and their performance in the playoffs was not bad either.

But this thing still has to be compared with someone.

Facing the Clippers, the Hornets had almost no power to fight back.

Kemba Walker and Oladipo were both limited, one shooting 14 of 5 and the other 12 of 4.

The only one who performed normally was Davis, the thick-browed brother.

Brother Big Eyebrow is still strong, unlike the paper tigers Towns and Cousins. Although his style of play is also soft, he is really ruthless when playing and can help the team on both offense and defense.

In this game, the thick eyebrow brother suppressed Lopez and Howard, scoring 31 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks.

However, the disparity in overall strength made Brother Nongmei become a member of the empty-cutting group.

And even in terms of statistics, the 30+10+10 triple-double that Brother Nongmei is almost accustomed to facing Wang Chao does not have much advantage.

The Clippers defeated the Hornets and won their fourth consecutive victory.

On October 10, the Clippers defeated the Jazz in an away game and their winning streak reached five consecutive games.

As for the Clippers, who won five consecutive victories at the beginning of the new season, the entire league has become accustomed to it, and even feels numb.

Compared with when the Clippers win, when the Clippers lose the game is more news worth reporting.

On October 10, the last game of the entire month of October, the Clippers faced a re-adjusted lineup and formed a lineup that was not very star-studded, but was always full of the Spurs' unpretentious style.

There is no doubt that the Spurs have become stronger than in previous seasons, but they are actually somewhat similar to the future Miami Heat. Although they are very strong, they can only rely on Jimmy Butler to overcome difficulties and have the ability to enter the NBA. He has the strength to win the final, but he still lacks something if he wants to win the championship.

Moreover, being able to enter the finals is also based on the premise of being in the Eastern Conference. It is really difficult to say whether to switch to the Western Conference.

119:105, the Clippers made another victory, reaching 6 consecutive victories, and achieved complete victory throughout October.

"The defending champion is full of firepower, leading the league with a record of 6 wins and 0 losses. He has only one goal: to win the championship again!"

"Averaging 31 points, 10.4 rebounds and 11.2 assists per game, Wang Chao, who is about to turn 37, is still young. Where is his limit?"

"You can always dig out shining gold. The second-year rookie Alexander performed well and became an important starting player. Carmelo Anthony has a second spring in his career and has secured his position as the Clippers' starting small forward. Is it possible that as long as he is next to Wang Chao? Who can play better?"

Many media seem to have discovered that it is completely impossible to use media public opinion to suppress Wang Chao. Wang Chao is too ruthless. No matter how hard you make excuses, winning each game will only make these words seem ugly. Like a clown.

Therefore, many media simply started to break the rules, and did not hesitate to praise and praise Wang Chao in various ways.

Forget it, you NB, let’s give in, okay?

Wang Chao doesn't care at all about the changes in local media reviews in the United States.

Just like they knew that what they were doing was in vain, Wang Chao knew this better than them, so naturally he wouldn't care.

And now, he doesn't have the energy to care about these trivial matters.

Not long ago, Candice's child was born.

Miranda gave him a lovely little princess, and Candice gave him a son.

Wang Chao named the child Wang Chong.

Using the opportunity of the child's birth as an excuse, Wang Chao brought his parents over from China and moved them into his mansion in Beverly Hills.

Of course, Miranda and Kerr also came to Los Angeles from New York.

A mansion costing tens of millions is certainly enough to accommodate everyone, and there are even more than enough rooms.

Wang Chao brought all his family members over, naturally not only because of Wang Chong's birth.

As the year drew to a close, Wang Chao knew he had to pay attention.

He doesn't know if the mask problem will happen in this world, but he must not neglect this kind of thing that affects the turmoil of the entire world.

As the saying goes, if you are rich, you will help the world; if you are poor, you will be alone.

Wang Chao now has the ability to help the world, and if he really needs it, he will never be stingy.

But before that, he must protect his family.

Just because Wang Chong was born, he gathered his closest family members in Los Angeles, where there are the best medical conditions and the most scientific medical facilities. Although these resources are cruel, they are only open to the rich. , but who makes Wang Chao a rich man, even a super rich man whose wealth can rank among the top [-] or even the top [-] in the world?
If you have money and resources and pretend not to use them, that is hypocrisy.

Wang Chao has actually thought about whether there is a way to prevent things from happening in advance, but although he has a system, has the ability to do everything on the field, and now has hundreds of millions of wealth, he is only a human being after all. In the face of such a world-level event, he is just an insignificant member.

If he were to go out now and say that there will be a mask crisis in the next few months, resulting in more than 500 million deaths worldwide, I am afraid he will be locked up as a mentally ill person.

Even being imprisoned as a mentally ill person is still a minor matter. When things really happen as he said, it will be the most troublesome thing. How will he explain this matter then?
So after thinking about it, Wang Chao could only cope with the changes by staying the same, protecting his family as much as possible, and hoping that nothing like that would happen in this world.
