It was completely within Wang Xiao's expectation that Cheng Jie and Wang Meng were able to thrive in the NBA.

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

Originally, after Dayao retired, Chinese basketball once ushered in an extremely dark era, but the darkness did not last long before ushering in a new prosperous era.

In the post-Dayao era, the number of Chinese players playing in the NBA has surged to three, namely Yi Jianlian, Cheng Jie and Wang Meng. Two of them are playing important positions in their respective teams, and soon, the number will increase from three to three.

4 people!

…

As time entered December, the Bucks' record changed from explosive to stable. Although they lost some games, they also won more games. This allowed the Bucks to continue to lead the record list, but the Bucks'

Taking the lead is definitely not a one-stop show.

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

In the West, the records of the Clippers and Trail Blazers are not inferior to those of the three teams in the East.

Compared with last season, when the Wizards and Cavaliers were the unparalleled duo, the situation in the new season is even more confusing.

While several teams were competing against each other, a big thing happened in the NBA.

Brooklyn Nets player Jeremy Lin officially announced in mid-December that he would give up his American citizenship, return to Chinese citizenship, 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 strong 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 no worse than 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 2016 American Dream Team, once said in an interview that he would consider Jeremy Lin to join the Dream Team. He said that Jeremy Lin reminded him of Kidd. He is a player who is both offensive and defensive and has a perfect overall view.

Excellent defender.

No one expected that as the New Year approached, Jeremy Lin would give up his American citizenship and join the Chinese nationality!

This kind of thing is so rare!

Over the years, a large number of outstanding talents in China have been poached by foreign countries, especially the United States, including many talented athletes. However, few talents 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 citizenship and return to China! And he is a top-level NBA star player!

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

On the Chinese side, Jeremy Lin has become a hot search topic on major portal websites. Anyone who is online in China can see reports about Jeremy Lin’s return to China. The Chinese side has also spared no effort to portray Jeremy Lin as a loyal party member.

Jeremy Lin's perfect image of patriotism is full of praise and praise. The Basketball Association even plans to promote Jeremy Lin as the new generation leader of the Chinese men's basketball team, making his influence reach the level of Yao Yao.

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

There is no way around this. After all, from the perspective of Chinese fans, Jeremy Lin gave up his American citizenship and competed in the Olympics for China as if he was a national hero.

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

As an American citizen, he actually joined China and competed against the American Dream Team in the Olympics. What is this but a traitor?

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

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

One thing to say, Jeremy Lin's popularity in the United States is not very high. Although the United States claims to be free and fair, racial discrimination and color discrimination are common. Jeremy Lin's ability as an NBA point guard can definitely be ranked among the top three, but in the United States, his jersey

Sales volume and commercial contracts are not even ranked in the top ten.

Now, Jeremy Lin has given up his American citizenship and returned to China, focusing his market on China. The situation is completely different in an instant!

Taking the initiative to give up his American citizenship, Jeremy Lin's reputation in China instantly skyrocketed to the highest point, and the Basketball Association's unremitting publicity also kept Jeremy Lin's popularity high. Although it has only been a few days, Jeremy Lin has already become a benchmark in the Chinese sports circle.

figure!

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

Just like Wang Xiao said, this is definitely a sure-fire deal!

…

Jeremy Lin successfully returned to Chinese nationality and joined the Chinese Men's Basketball Team. With this, Wang Xiao's layout is basically completed. With Jeremy Lin, Cheng Jie, Wang Meng, Yi Jianlian and Hao Peng in the starting lineup, he is fully confident to compete with the US team in the Olympics.

Go ahead and give it a good try.

But this will all happen after June next year. For now, he still has to focus on 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 powerful Western Conference teams such as the Trail Blazers, Clippers, and Spurs.

The most difficult one among them is the Christmas War.

On Christmas Day, December 25, the Bucks flew to Los Angeles to play against the Clippers, currently ranked first in the Western Conference.

The Clippers, who reached the Finals last year, still have no successful reinforcements in the new season, and they are only half as good as compared to the same period in another time and space.

But the overall standard of the teams in the Western Conference has dropped a lot compared to another time and space.

Wang Chaoyong was dismantled by Wang Xiao. The Spurs, who originally relied on Leonard to rejuvenate in the post-GDP era, only got Bosh. A certain once-China home team also lost Harden to Wang Xiao and the Cavaliers.

Howard.

The strength of the entire Western Conference is completely unable to compare with the Eastern Conference teams, so much so that the Clippers' Paul and Griffin, who are not particularly top-notch configurations, can still 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 will miss this game due to shoulder discomfort.

The current Bucks have become more and more dependent on Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo. Although Oladipo is also on the team, a player who also focuses on breakthrough offense, the lethality of the two cannot be compared at all.
