    "Not bad, not bad. It seems that you haven't relaxed too much during this holiday. You are in good health! I'm very satisfied." Nigro looked at his team members with a happy face, feeling quite satisfied in his heart.  For the team¡¯s head coach, what they fear most is not the game, but the offseason.  Even the head coach cannot supervise the players during the holidays. What the players do and want to do during the holidays is something that the coach can never interfere with.  There are too many outstanding players who suffer from a significant decline in physical fitness due to overeating during the holidays. This is all due to a lack of self-control.  But this situation does not exist in Nigro's Clippers. At least the main players are in good physical condition.  While nodding with satisfaction, Nigro continued to look down the players.  Then he saw Wang Dapao.  "Who is this? Has the general manager introduced new players?" Negrochi asked.  "Damn it! Boss, please don't be like this, okay?" Wang Dapao shook his head depressedly, "I know you can't accept that I've lost so much weight, but you don't have to pretend that you don't know me, right?" "Haha, open it up.  What a joke." Nigro suddenly laughed, stepped forward and put his shoulder on Wang Dapao's shoulder and said: "Look at Wang Dapao, just based on his muscles and body shape, I can tell that he must be the most diligent during the holidays among you.  Yes, Wang Dapao, tell me what you did during the offseason?" Wang Dapao thought for a while and said, "Eat, sleep, and play ball." All Clippers players: "" New.  The season is about to begin, and the Clippers players are all reporting to the team. Every season, some people will leave and some will join.  The Clippers are no exception, although the current overall framework of the Clippers has tended to be perfect.  But some details still need to be done the best.  The two main players on the bench last season, Randy Foye and Bledsoe, had already left the Clippers as early as August.  Of course, they didn¡¯t leave for nothing. Foye¡¯s departure cleared up more than 5 million in the Clippers¡¯ salary space, while Bledsoe was traded to the Mavericks.  In exchange for Mavericks point guard Jason Kidd.  Super point guard Kidd is now an out-and-out veteran. After the closest championship result in 2010 was ruined by the Heat, Kidd's condition declined significantly. Last season's shortened season's compact schedule was even more  It makes Kidd feel weak.  The all-around king back then, now averages only 4 points and 3 assists per game, and is no longer able to stay on the court as a starter.  However, his experience is still there, and he can barely connect the team, and his beautiful three-pointers are not many.  The old Kidd has experience, and the young Bledsoe has the future.  The Clippers traded Bledsoe, the future, for Kidd, the experienced veteran.  The goal is to go for the championship.  The Mavericks now see clearly that although the team's core Nowitzki is still there, the Mavericks have officially entered the rebuilding stage, and a point guard with full potential like Bledsoe is what they are pursuing.  Preparations for Kidd¡¯s official joining ceremony have not yet begun, and the Clippers immediately found an old companion for Kidd.  Antoine Jamison, a veteran about the same age as Kidd, serves as a power forward and part-time small forward.  Although this guy is not as famous as Kidd, he was an absolute All-Star when he was young.  Averaging 20+10 per game is easy.  More importantly, Jamison is a free agent. The Clippers signed him without any cost to return, and the contract is also the cheapest veteran contract.  The purpose of these older players joining the Clippers is very clear, naturally it is to win the championship. ?? Last season, everyone watched the battles between the Clippers and the Heat, if it weren't for Paul's unexpected injury.  The championship does not necessarily belong to the Heat. These veterans want to win a championship before retiring. Joining a team like the Clippers is the easiest and simplest way.  There are many people who have the same idea as Kidd and Jamison.  Among them is Gentleman Sword Lei Allen.  Ray Allen was not satisfied with winning a championship ring with the Celtics. Especially in recent years, his relationship with the Celtics' new core Rondo has been very ordinary. Therefore, after the contract expired, Ray Allen  Allen decisively chose to leave the Celtics.  The team chosen by Ray Allen is the Heat. Compared with the Clippers, Ray Allen believes more in the Heat, which has won two consecutive championships.  There are some differences between Ray Allen and Kidd. The current Jun Zijian is still very strong. He can still average more than 20 points per game as a starter. It has to be said that it is a very strong improvement for the Heat's overall strength.  Also choosing to leave the team was Nash, the point guard of the Suns. His choice was the Los Angeles Lakers. The reason was very simple, because the LakersThrough this period of operation, the people successfully introduced Howard of Warcraft. Although Baidam was also sent away, they formed a Big Three lineup of Kobe, Gasol, and Howard.  Generally speaking, this NBA is an era where veterans are changing jobs collectively. These players who have never won a championship are getting anxious at this time. As the saying goes, if we don't go crazy, we will be old.  If they don't make some sacrifices and changes, the championship will be forever away from them.  The Clippers' recruitment efforts this summer are not large, but Wang Dapao is quite satisfied. After all, veterans such as Kidd Jamison can play a role at critical moments, and the Clippers also have players like Barnes.  With strong role players and a starting five that is already approaching perfection, as long as the Clippers can continue the same style of play as last season this season, they will definitely be a contender for the championship.  Everything is so perfect, but as the team's head coach, Nigro knows that the Clippers are still far from dominating the league.  Because the water in the west is too deep.  Unlike the Eastern Conference where only a few teams, the Heat and Bulls, dominate, the competitive pressure on the Western Conference teams is too great.  The Spurs are old and strong, and the Lakers have the Big Four. Although Harden, the best sixth man, went to the Rockets, they have strengthened Martin's Thunder, the Grizzlies are powerful inside, and the Warriors are full of firepower on the outside   Any team in the Western Conference is one of the best. Thinking that the Clippers in the Western Conference have to play at least four games with these guys in the regular season, Nigro has a headache.  The preseason for the new season starts in early October.  During the period before the start, the Clippers did a lot of things, such as the press conference for players to join, the team's adaptive training, the players' respective physical recovery training, etc.  Half a month has passed by in a blink of an eye, and the preseason will begin soon.  During this half-month training match.  Nigro's biggest and most unexpected discovery was the change in Wang Dapao.  He didn¡¯t pay much attention to it at first, but as time went by, he gradually discovered that Wang Dapao¡¯s playing style seemed to be a little different from last season.  It¡¯s not that there are some differences, to be precise, it should be completely different.  How to put it this way, if you give Nigro an adjective to describe it, Wang Dapao used to play like a bull.  No matter what kind of defense you are on, no matter what tactics you use, just carry on!  And he can really score.  But now Wang Dapao is playing very wretchedly.  Yes, it is just vulgar. This word may not be a good word, but it is very suitable for the current Wang Dapao. His tactical understanding is still average.  But the beatings were very wretched, and the number of times he was raped was less.  He has been sneaking around a lot to pick up holes, and when necessary, he will still force himself in. But in that case, there is usually only one person guarding him, and he will almost certainly score.  Nigro was very surprised and delighted by Wang Dapao's changes.     To know.  Wang Dapao is the offensive core of the entire Clippers team. The richer and more versatile his style of play becomes, the more tactics the Clippers can use, and the higher the corresponding scoring efficiency.  Nigro doesn¡¯t know why Wang Dapao, who has always been single-minded in playing, suddenly changed his playing style, but this matter is of great benefit to the Clippers.  Nature is a good thing.  If Nigro knew that Wang Dapao was tortured every day by the soy sauce players in the training module, I believe he would understand why Wang Dapao is playing so obscenely now.  Paul is still strong, Griffin and DeAndre Jordan have made significant progress, and Wang Dapao has also undergone such earth-shaking changes. Although the Clippers do not seem to have any major lineup changes, the team's strength has undergone earth-shaking changes.  .  The growth of the team has given Nigro more and more confidence to perform even better this season.  Soon, the Clippers¡¯ first preseason game began on October 7.  The Clippers' opponent in this game is the Nuggets. The preseason has always been just a grindstone game for the team. Very few people value him. After all, the situation like last season's suspension that led to insufficient training time is not possible.  As is often the case, in the first five games of this preseason, the big three of Wang Dapao, Paul, and Griffin did not play because there was no need for it.  The Clippers, who did not have the Big Three, used Kidd, Jamison and Barnes to replace them, and the effect was also very good. In the 5 preseason games, the Clippers won 3 games and lost 2 games, leaving the remaining 5 preseason games.  The three giants went into battle together and won all 5 games!  The Clippers have won 8 out of 10 preseason games. Although it is just a preseason game that people don't pay attention to, it can still be seen to some extent how strong the Clippers' momentum is.  The Clippers¡¯ strength makes fans rejoice.??In their view, Los Angeles now completely belongs to the Clippers.  You mean the Lakers?  Yes, the Lakers have assembled an incredible four giants, but what did they do in the preseason?  Lose!  Lose!  All losses.  The Big Four of the Lakers, who were favored by everyone, were constantly losing, which was shocking. The newly joined Nash and Howard couldn't find the rhythm at all under the Lakers' system. What's more terrible is that in the preseason,  Kobe and Howard suffered constant injuries, and the Lakers lost all 10 preseason games, leaving everyone confused.  The Lakers players were fooled, the Lakers coaches were fooled, and the Lakers fans were also fooled.  When was the last time the Lakers had such a tragic 10-game losing streak?  Many people can¡¯t remember clearly. Anyway, since the Lakers formed the partnership of Kobe and Gasol, the Lakers have never left the title of a strong team in the league.  But now that there are four giants, the Lakers have suffered disastrous defeats in turn, which has to make people doubt the Lakers' performance after the regular season.  As the head coach of the Lakers, the Lakers have a poor record, and the calls for Brown's dismissal are getting louder and louder. The Lakers have begun preparations to let Phil Jackson come out to coach this Big Four luxury team again.  Of course, these are not problems for the Clippers. How the Lakers do has nothing to do with them. Playing their own game well is the key.  The whole month of October was relatively tight, with the team¡¯s adaptation training and pre-season matters taking up most of the time, so that Wang Dapao and Cheng Qian rarely had time to date.  ¡°But even if Wang Dapao is not busy, the nature of Cheng Qian¡¯s work also determines that the two of them will not be together for long.  Wang Dapao didn't care. After all, this was Cheng Qian's job, and it was what she liked. Although this would make Wang Dapao a lot more boring, but if you think about it carefully, wouldn't he come here like this every day when he didn't have a girlfriend before?  ?  ¡°And now there is an additional reality simulation module that tortures Wang Dapao every day. Don¡¯t be afraid that Wang Dapao will be bored. If you get bored, go and have a look in the module, and you will have no mood at all.  On October 26, after the Clippers¡¯ last preseason game, Nigro finally gave the team a three-day break.  Wang Dapao called Cheng Qian excitedly, but unfortunately found that Cheng Qian was still unavailable. Not only was she unavailable this time, Cheng Qian also had to go to an orphanage out of town to inspect and study.  The disappointed Wang Dapao was about to change his three-day vacation into sleeping when a phone call from Griffin made him change his mind.  "Brothers, you guys haven't been out together for a long time. Are you going to have fun tonight?" After hearing Griffin's words, Wang Dapao's first thought was to refuse. His previous nightclub experiences had already made Wang Dapao  Psychological shadow.  But after thinking about it, Wang Dapao felt that he was idle anyway, and it would be good to go out for a walk to kill time. Although he had a girlfriend, wouldn't it be enough to just go for a walk without hooking up with girls?  With this thought in mind, Wang Dapao nodded in agreement.  It¡¯s just that Wang Dapao didn¡¯t expect that Griffin, a senior nightclub expert, would not choose the location among his favorite nightclubs this time.  In Griffin's own words, "I'm used to eating muddy food. It's nice to eat vegetarian food occasionally for a change. Today we won't go and order some. Let's go to a bar. I recently came across a very good bar with a very good style."  "So, at Griffin's call, a group of Clippers players didn't even dress up and headed towards the hotel in a swaggering manner.  (To be continued)
