¡¶Am I cheating or proud?¡· Chapter 1 Is time travel necessary these days? You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Just after the Spring Festival of 2021, the weather in the mountain city of Chongqing suddenly cleared up, and the sun was shining almost every day. It was like an otaku seeing a beautiful woman, and he smiled brightly. Wang Dalin did not go to work because he had not found a job since he was fired by the company years ago. As a senior otaku, he has almost no expenses except for daily necessities. He has saved a lot of savings after working for many years, so for a while, he doesn¡¯t have to worry about not having a stable life. Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t have many hobbies on weekdays. Apart from reading online novels, he also loves playing games. He doesn¡¯t play those popular online games, but he only loves the ¡°nba2k¡± series of basketball games. Starting from "nba2k5", he has never missed every generation of 2k games. So far, he has played "nba2k21". Since "nba2k10" started to have a career mode (friends who don't understand can play it by themselves, it's very immersive!), Wang Dalin likes this game even more. When controlling the player he created, it feels like he is in the NBA and competing with many stars. Whenever he performs well, there is always an indescribable sense of accomplishment. "Oh, that's the bad thing about the career mode!" Wang Dalin controlled the character and used a series of beautiful dribbling movements to get out of the space. He opened his hand and hit a three-pointer. He curled his lips and said to himself, "If I were It would be great to have a small forward like Durant!" Looking at the opponent team player wearing No. 7 jersey on the screen, completely ignoring his outside players to block the shot, and hitting a three-pointer with a pull-upWang Dalin couldn't help but show an expression of envy and hatred. "What the hell ugh" Wang Dalin thought bitterly, "With such a height and wingspan, and such a level of shooting ability By the way, and such agility I Damn it, Durant is really the best in NBA history!" If you want to say who is the most powerful player in NBA history, people will probably have many different answers. Some say it¡¯s Michael Jordan, some say it¡¯s LeBron James, some say it¡¯s Kobe Bryant, some say it¡¯s Shaquille O¡¯Neal, and there are even some ¡°ancient parties¡± who say it¡¯s Wilt Chamberlain. It¡¯s no.1¡­¡­ Although it is said that "there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand readers", no matter how you say it no one will say that Kevin Durant is the first person in NBA history, right? (Lao Wang does not accept excuses here) But Wang Dalin believes that Kevin Durant is unique. Looking at the entire NBA history, from the 1950s to 2021, there has not been another player like him! Kevin Durant is 211cm tall, with a wingspan of 228cm and a weight of 109kg. He has an excellent shooting touch and agility comparable to that of a shooting guard. As the saying goes, "Those who are taller than me are not as fast as me, and those who are faster than me are not as tall as me." Isn't this what the comparison is? (Lao Wang doesn¡¯t believe the official NBA data. Kevin Durant is definitely not just 208cm, he must be 211cm!) Wang Dalin feels that if Durant had not retired due to injury in the 2019 NBA Finals, even if Tang Shen would have retired due to cruciate ligament rupture in the subsequent games, the Warriors with "Kuritian" and "Reaper" would have had the last laugh. But fans all know that the championship that year was the Raptors! No matter how strong the Warriors are, it is impossible to win the NBA championship with two core members injured and retired Just like the Heat during the "Big Three" era, if Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are injured and retired, will you try to let LeBron James lead the team to win the NBA championship with only one core? When Wang Dalin plays the "Brilliant Career Mode" of the 2K series, he always builds a character for each position. Whether it is a center, power forward, small forward, shooting guard or point guard, he can play it very well, and he can play various types of roles. They can all play to a very high level, but personally he still likes shooting the most. For example, for a point guard, the height of 191cm is the most standard. At this height, various ability values ??are raw data. If you insist on raising his height to 201cm, then your shooting ability and speed will drop a lot, which is simply unsightly. Wang Dalin thinks that his game operation level is already among the best in the country, but if he really builds a small forward based on Durant's height, wingspan and body shape, he estimates that he can shoot 30% from three-point range, which is pretty good. (Friends, don¡¯t doubt it. A small forward with a height of 208cm, a wingspan of 229cm, and a weight of 109kg will only have 51 ball control, 57 lateral speed, 62 speed, and 59 acceleration This "agility" is greater than many. If the center is too slow, you will definitely be sick to death!) Durant¡¯s three-point ability value is 90, and his ball control ability is as high as 92, and his speed isSpeed, acceleration and dribbling speed are all 80 And, this guy is the "power forward" for the Brooklyn Nets this season! Looking at the NBA, among the power forwards who are over 206cm tall, who can compete with Durant in speed? Even if they are not inferior in speed, what about the difference in height? So far in the 2020-2021 season, although Durant has only played 19 games, he averaged 29 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, shooting 52% from the field, 42% from the three-point range, and 88% from the free throw line. And this season He had to recuperate for more than 550 days due to a serious injury due to Achilles tendon rupture What is this if it's not a joke? so¡­¡­ Although Wang Dalin¡¯s point guard was killing everyone in the game, scoring 75 points, 10 rebounds, 14 assists, 1 block and 4 steals in a single game, he was still extremely envious and jealous of Durant "Ah? It's already past five o'clock?" After finishing the fight, Wang Dalin looked at his phone and found that he had been playing almost all night. He couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt deep in his heart, "No I have to go to bed quickly. !¡± When he had a job, his life was more regular. He had to get up and go to work at around seven o'clock every morning. At that time, he would usually finish playing games before twelve o'clock in the evening. How could he be as obsessed as he is now? Wang Dalin hurriedly washed up and went to bed. He didn't notice that he only turned off the TV but forgot to turn off the game console In his sleep, Wang Dalin discovered that he was actually 211cm tall and had a terrifying wingspan of 231cm. He easily dunked with a small jump under the basket. Not only that, his agility is comparable to that of a shooting guard, and he can use all kinds of fancy dribbling moves like a treasure, making opponents who can't see their faces dizzy. He couldn¡¯t help but be extremely excited. He dribbled the ball under his crotch and then dribbled behind his back. Then he stepped back and opened his hand for a three-pointer. The orange basketball spun and fell into the basket. With a "swish" sound, the white basketball net rose up like a rising water splash. "Ha ha ha ha¡­¡­" Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but burst into triumphant laughter, and just woke up laughing "Hey, where is this place?" Looking around, Wang Dalin felt certain, sure and sure This was definitely not his bedroom! He was still a little confused when he stood up, and accidentally walked to the bedroom door "boom¡­¡­" "Ouch!" "Did you make a mistake? I can actually be hit on the head by the door frame? Is this door 2 meters high or 1.6 meters high?" Wang Dalin rubbed his forehead and took a breath of cold air. He bit his back molars and thought to himself: "Don't tell me at this time I have traveled through time?" Wang Dalin walked to the bathroom with his head lowered and looked at the man in the mirror. Wang Dalin was even more stunned. "Thisis it me?" Wang Dalin¡¯s appearance can only be said to be not ugly. Moreover, he has been an otaku for more than ten years, and his living habits are as bad as possible. He is 173 cm tall but weighs 173 kilograms. He is definitely a "little chubby" worthy of the name. Although the young man in the mirror has a green face, he is quite handsome, and his naked upper body muscles are quite graceful. "Hehehehe" Looking at his beautiful abdominal muscles in the mirror, Wang Dalin couldn't help but giggle. Suddenly, a tingling feeling rushed into his brain. Wang Dalin felt like the world was spinning. His legs went weak and he almost fell down on the spot. Fortunately, he managed to stand still by holding on to the sink in time. It was not until more than a minute passed that various intermittent memories emerged in front of his eyes. In shorthe traveled through time! Wang Dalin took a long breath and stood there for a long time, and finally couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "It's really 'time travel happens every year, and it comes to my house this year'! Damn it, I just took a napit's always necessary these days Time travel?" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 2 Since we have traveled through time, how can we not have a system? You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Sitting on the bed, Wang Dalin carefully sorted out the somewhat messy memories of this life. In this life, his name is still Wang Dalin, and he was born in Chongqing, China on March 17, 1982. These are no different from him in the original time and space. The difference is In this life, he has been growing rapidly since he was a freshman in high school, almost every year, and he can grow by more than ten centimeters every year. When he was a freshman in high school, he was 170 centimeters tall. Just a year later, when he was a sophomore in high school, he had grown to 186 centimeters. A year later when he was a senior in high school, his height was 198 centimeters Well, this height was exactly the same as that of a certain old gangster and a certain Mamba! By the second semester of his senior year in high school, his height had reached 206 centimeters! By April 2000, he had grown another 5 centimeters, reaching 211 centimeters! This is the height of bare feet! Really 211 centimeters! His wingspan is even more exaggerated, reaching 231 centimeters! ??Look at these big hands, holding a fried chicken leg is probably like holding a toothpick, right? Many basketball players have grown very tall when they receive systematic basketball training, so no matter how hard they practice, their skills are still rough. For example, Sun Moumou, who is 10 centimeters taller than Yao Ming, could only stand on the bench when he was in the CBA. Sit on. In this life, Wang Dalin began systematic basketball training very early. He initially practiced with the basketball team in the city gymnasium. At that time, he was still in the first grade of junior high school. He was less than 1.5 meters tall and was inconspicuous among the many basketball teenagers. At that time, Wang Dalin silently polished his various skills, from the first year of junior high school to the graduation of the third year of junior high school, until he grew taller after entering high school, and it became out of control Although Guangyi Middle School where Wang Dalin attended is not a popular team in the Chongqing high school basketball world, and it is definitely not a famous basketball school, since Wang Dalin joined, the basketball team of Guangyi Middle School has become as strong as a rocket. Increasing day by day. Especially after Wang Dalin entered his second year of high school, his height soon exceeded 1.9 meters, which allowed him to fully display the various skills he had honed so hard. In the 1990s, no matter which city in China, anyone with a height of more than 1.9 meters was definitely standing out from the crowd. What's more, Wang Dalin's height soon exceeded 2 meters in his senior year of high school. In addition, Wang Dalin is not a "silly big guy" just because of his height. In his senior year of high school, Wang Dalin led the Guangyi Middle School basketball team to defeat each opponent like chopping melons and vegetables, successfully won the championship of the city's high school students basketball championship, and represented Chongqing in the knockout rounds of the Southwest Division of the National Championship. In the knockout round of the Southwest Division, Wang Dalin led his team to win the championship with averages of 39.5 points, 23.5 rebounds, 7 assists and 9 blocks per game, and won the MVP title of the Southwest Division in one fell swoop. Just after the Spring Festival in 2000, the Quang Ngai Middle School team participated in the final stage of the national championship. In the 16-8 game, Wang Dalin, who is already 206 centimeters tall, scored a super "quadruple double" of 51 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists and 11 blocks, leading the team to a 97:83 victory over the opponent. Then the Quang Ngai Middle School team won three games in a row and reached the finals. The opponent in the final is the Shenzhen Sports School of Guangdong Province, the champion of the Southern Division. The team has a talented new star-Yi Jianlian, who is only 16 years old! (He was born in 1984, not 1987!) And the players in each position of this team are very strong. If their opponent is not Guangyi Middle School led by Wang Dalin, I believe they will definitely win the national championship this year. But¡­¡­ The immature Yi Jianlian's time to receive systematic basketball training was still too short. Facing Wang Dalin, he seemed at a loss and his performance was seriously abnormal. He only made 4 of 17 shots in the game. He only scored 14 points by relying on free throws and only grabbed 14 rebounds. 5. Wang Dalin made 13 of 21 shots from the field, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 8 of 9 free throws. He scored 37 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 6 blocks and 2 steals. He led the team to defeat a strong enemy and successfully reached the top and won the 2000 NBA championship. National High School Basketball Championship Champion. Due to his outstanding performance in this competition, many CBA teams have offered him an olive branch, including many of the strong teams that reached the playoffs last season, but Wang Dalin did not accept the invitations from these teams. Because he has a higher and greater goal in his heart, that is-nba! Originally, in time and space, the first Chinese player to land in the NBA was Wang Zhizhi. He was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the 7th overall pick in the second round (36th overall) in the summer of 1999. However, due to various reasons (see here, Readers who understand will probably smile knowingly) It was not until 2001 that he officially reported to the Mavericks.  ??Participated in various trial trainings with great interest. However, the king who dominated the domestic high school basketball world struggled very much when facing opponents from the world's number one basketball power. To put it bluntly, his confrontation ability is too poor! Although his static talent is very good and his speed and jumping are pretty good, he is only 18 years old after all. Faced with these "dark and hard" confrontations, all his technical moves that were always unfavorable have gone wrong. When Yao Ming first entered the NBA, he suffered from a lack of confrontation ability and often had a very difficult time playing under the basket; Wang Zhizhi rarely moved around the basket and was basically an outside high turret. Wang Dalin previously shot 65% from the field and 41% from three-point range in the finals of the National High School Basketball Championship, but that was just the intensity of domestic high school basketball competitions. "Don't talk about the NBA, even if it is better than the CBA, it is still far behind. His current opponents are considered fringe players in the NBA, and the intensity of confrontation at this level is even higher than that in the CBA! Although head coach Pat Riley is very interested in his outstanding static talent, he has even verbally promised to take him with the 23rd pick in the second round. But on draft day, the "magic fortune teller" broke his promise. With only two second-round picks, the Miami Heat first selected Eddie House with the 8th pick in the second round, and then selected Ernest Brown with the 23rd pick in the second round. In this way, Wang Dalin became an undrafted draft that no one wanted. As a time traveler, Wang Dalin certainly knows the guard Eddie House. This guy was the main rotation player in the team and won the NBA championship with the Boston Celtics in 2008. And Eddie House was also a well-known figure in the NCAA! As the first player in the NCAA Pacific Ten Conference to score 40+ points four times in a single season, Eddie House has scored 30+ points in a single game 8 times in a single season, and also set a single-season scoring record for Arizona State University. (736 points) and scoring average record (23.0 points). In that year, Eddie House¡¯s assists and steals were also the highest on the team. His 74 steals tied him for second place in the single-season steals list in school history. Wang Dalin was convinced after losing to such an outstanding person. But who is this Ernest Brown? As a senior NBA fan (self-proclaimed), Wang Dalin has never even heard of this guy¡¯s name! It¡¯s no wonder that this unknown player has only played a few games in the NBA, and was demoted to the NBA Development League team by the Heat during his rookie season. ????????????????? This guy did well in the Development League Later he also played in the Chinese CBA League for several seasons According to Wang Dalin¡¯s habit of playing the dynasty mode in NBA2K games, he will probably be cut off as soon as possible to avoid being disgusted in the lineup! "Alas!" Wang Dalin sighed softly and thought to himself, "It seems that I can only return to China in despair It is not unacceptable to be able to play in the CBA in this life!" At this moment, a strong man's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning: "All the information of the host has been detected, and the basketball career professional system is officially launched" Immediately, a picture similar to a nine-square grid appeared in his mind. The names of the nine grids were "Personal Attributes", "System Mall", "System Tasks", "Team Lineup", "Endorsement Contract", "Real-time Data", " nba records", "team rankings" and "personal assets". The color of the entire interface is gray and black, somewhat similar to the early "nba2k11". Wang Dalin looked at this picture and couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart. He murmured: "I knew it I knew it Since I have traveled through time, how can I not provide a system?" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 3 Isn¡¯t it just shooting? You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! "Host: Wang Dalin" ¡°Date of birth: March 17, 1982¡± "Height: 211cm, weight: 100kg, wingspan: 231cm" "Position: small forward, power forward" "66 close-range shots, 61 cut layups, 58 cut dunks, 55 in-place dunks, 43 post-up hook shots, 37 post-up fadeaway jumpers, 71 mid-range shots, 66 three-pointers, 74 free throws, 33 post-up moves, and passes.

This data¡­ doesn¡¯t seem too bad, right? Wang Dalin dares to bet on his handsome face He is by no means the worst among the rookies this year! This is not Wang Dalin¡¯s blind confidence! As a senior fan (in fact, he should be a senior 2k player), Wang Dalin knows very well At that time, the NBA had only 29 teams, with a total of 58 rookies in the two rounds every year, and those with an ability value above 70 were almost all first-round picks. If it¡¯s hard to say in other years, 2000 is a notoriously poor draft year. Even among the 29 first-round picks, the only ones Wang Dalin can name are ¡°No. 1 pick¡± Kenyon Martin and ¡°Three-Point Pretty Boy.¡± "Mike Miller, "Super Sixth Man" Jamal Crawford, "Turkish Brain" Hidayat Turkoglu. By the way, there is also the "second pick" Stromire Swift who was selected by the Vancouver Grizzlies! If this guy hadn¡¯t been teammates with Yao Ming for a while, Wang Dalin probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to remember his name given his rough skills. So, Wang Dalin¡¯s ability value of 68 is really not too bad, at least he can rank in the middle of all the rookies this year. There are many reasons why Wang Dalin was defeated. The main reason is that people in the NBA are generally not optimistic about Chinese players during this period. After all, Wang Zhizhi hasn't even come yet! In addition, Wang Dalin did not have a strong resume to prove himself in the past. Wang Zhizhi has been famous for many years. He was selected for the national team at the age of 17 and shined in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. At that time, eight elite basketball schools from the NCAA sent him invitations. David Robinson: "Yes, I prove that the hot pot you gave me is really delicious!" What experience does Wang Dalin have? The champion of the Chinese High School Basketball Competition? That's it? hehe¡­¡­ There are only two ways for Wang Dalin right now. First, return to China and join a certain team to play in the CBA. Second, stay in Miami, perform well in the summer league, and strive for a chance to play in the NBA. Without this "basketball ranking system", Wang Dalin would definitely return to China to play in the CBA. ¡°After a few years and I achieve results, I might have a chance to enter the NBA. Now that the system is in place, Wang Dalin decided to stay and play in the summer league. With an ability value of 68, facing someone of Ernest Brown¡¯s level, why don¡¯t you just take off? "Ding - the system task is released" With a "ding" sound in his mind, Wang Dalin was excited and quickly looked at the page that popped up: "Task 1: Hit 1,000 mid-range jumpers in total during training, reward: 500 points!" "Task 2: Hit 600 three-pointers in total during training, reward: 600 points!" "Task 3: Win a 3v3 bullfighting match, reward: 800 points!" "Task 4: Win 10 3v3 bullfighting games, reward: 8,000 points!" ¡°Only after completing the above tasks can you unlock the next phase of the task!¡± There is also a line of small words at the bottom of the page¡ª¡ª "Warm reminder: System points can be used to improve various ability values, and can also be used to purchase various skill cards or equipment in the system mall!" Wang Dalin couldn't help but stood up suddenly, his whole body seemed to be trembling slightly, and he couldn't contain his excitement Lookwhat is a golden finger! Guabi¡¯s life is about to take off, so I¡¯m asking you if you¡¯re happy? What are you waiting for?  Wang Dalin immediately put on his vest and shorts as quickly as possible, put on his beloved "aj13", picked up the basketball and went out. Isn¡¯t it just shooting? So easy! There are street basketball courts everywhere in Miami, and there is one near the apartment Wang Dalin rents! When we arrived at the basketball court, it was indeed deserted - it was just past 8 o'clock in the morning. How could those who played streetball get up so early? Wang Dalin didn¡¯t hesitate and decided to complete the first task first. ??Mid-range shooting, according to the system's explanation, is the area outside the paint area within the three-point line. According to this rule, in fact, the bottom corners on the left and right sides outside the paint area are closest to the basket. It seems that Wang Dalin only needs to hit 1,000 balls at these two points to complete the task. However, friends who have played basketball know that - being closer does not mean it is less difficult! When shooting from the left and right corners, it is actually very difficult to shoot because there are no backboards as a reference. Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t care which position he shoots from. His mid-range shooting ability is ¡°as high as 71¡±. It¡¯s not that difficult for him to shoot unguarded. It¡¯s justI feel a little tired after investing too much! After all, the task issued by the system is to hit 1,000 mid-range jump shots - please pay attention to the word "jump shot"! If you say you just step on your feet and shoot, how can it be considered a jump shot? After trying several shots, Wang Dalin found that the "jump shot" required by the system was not that easy. If his take-off height was lower than the average on the field the system would not recognize it. It doesn¡¯t matter For Wang Dalin, who dominates the domestic high school basketball world, a serious jump shot is not very difficult, and the hit rate is still very high. He shot very accurately at the beginning, and he hit at least 85 of his first 100 shots. But as his physical fitness declined rapidly, his accuracy also dropped significantly. It took him nearly an hour to score 300 goals. "Jumping" hundreds of times is certainly tiring, but picking up the ball hundreds of times is not easy either. Wang Dalin gasped loudly and said to himself: "It seems that it is impossible to complete the first two tasks in one go today!" It is said that the goal of Kobe Bryant¡¯s physical monster every time he practiced shooting was just to ¡°hit 300 goals.¡± Of courseKobe's shooting percentage is definitely much higher than Wang Dalin's right now. You don¡¯t really think Kobe¡¯s shooting is bad, do you? You must know that Kobe¡¯s field goal percentage throughout his career is 44.7%, which is higher than the three major shooting guards of McGrady, Carter and Iverson at the same time. ¡°If Kobe had restrained his desire to shoot a little bit and been more cautious in his shot selection, especially in the last season of his career, if he had taken fewer shots, how could his career shooting percentage be lower than 45%? After resting for a while, Wang Dalin stood up and continued. This round he made 300 shots again, but it took nearly 10 minutes longer than the previous round, and he took more than 400 shots to make the shot! As the physical strength gradually declines, the shooting percentage will of course become lower and lower. According to Wang Dalin¡¯s mid-range shooting ability value of 71, when he is full of energy and undefended, his shooting rate can reach almost 80%. It is normal to score a few more when he feels good. In the previous National High School Basketball Championship, Wang Dalin¡¯s field goal percentage per game reached 55.7%. It has to be said that Wang Dalin is quite incredible to be able to achieve such efficiency in actual combat. Of course, that¡¯s just a high school game. If it were the NBA, even Kobe wouldn¡¯t be able to shoot that accurately. After resting for another half hour, Wang Dalin gritted his teeth and continued. This round he hit the iron frequently, taking twenty or thirty shots and then resting for a few minutes. After stumbling for an hour and a half, he finally made another 300 goals. With 100 goals left, Wang Dalin felt powerless and had no choice but to pack up his things and return to his temporary home. Rubbing his sore right arm, Wang Dalin couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face. When he first saw the task, he was filled with joy. He thought he could complete the first two tasks on the same day, but he didn't know that he didn't even complete the first task. Wang Dalin has made a decision in his heart: after getting the points, he will use them all to increase his physical strength! With a mere physical strength of 54, he can show off his prowess in the domestic high school basketball world. If put on the NBA court, he probably wouldn't be able to last for 10 minutes! This statement is not an exaggeration at all. Even if the physical strength value reaches 80, it is estimated that it can last more than 20 minutes in the NBA. For example, when Yao Ming was in the NBA, whenever he played for more than 30 minutes, his efficiency would drop significantly. This was due to lack of physical strength. Of course, as an inside player, Yao Ming spent almost the whole game fighting fiercely with the opponent's "black and tough" players under the basket, so his physical exertion will definitely be greater. After lunch, Wang Dalin lay on the bed and took a nap. When he woke up, his right arm was even more sore. I endured the pain and massaged my arms randomly, but I didn¡¯t go back in the afternoon. Wang Dalin knows that arm soreness can be a big or small thing. If you practice too hard and cause muscle damage, it will be worth the loss. He went to bed before eight o'clock that night. Before going to bed, he used his left hand to knead the muscles of his right arm. When he woke up the next morning, he felt much better. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)For more than ten minutes, his efficiency will always drop significantly, which is the reason for lack of physical strength.

(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 4 Bullfighting (1) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! I have to say, being young is good! If it were the original 39-year-old Wang Dalin, and he was asked to "jump" more than 1,200 times like this, he would definitely not be able to recover for two or three days. After having a few slices of bread for breakfast, Wang Dalin took the basketball and went out. There were only 100 balls left, and this time he finished it easily in only 20 minutes, without even taking a breath. ?? Received the 500 point reward with great interest and opened the page to add ability points. Wang Dalin suddenly felt overwhelmed What the hell! Is it too dark? It actually costs 200 points to add 1 point of physical strength? I worked so hard and made 1,000 goals, is that enough to add 2 points of stamina? By the way, what's the difference between physical strength of 54 and 56? Aren¡¯t they all ¡°leisure¡±? Wang Dalin rolled his eyes What would happen if it was used to improve his three-point ability? "Damn it! It actually costs 500 points to improve your ability by one point and three points?" In this case, he no longer hesitated and directly added 2 points of physical strength. Anyway, the three-point ability of 67 to 66 is not accurate. It is estimated that he can score one or two more for every 100 goals. By adding 2 points of stamina, you can cast at least ten more times, right? This is called "the lesser of two evils"! Besides, the second system task does not require a "jump shot", so it should be easier, right? Wang Dalin came to the three-point line with high hopes, and he realized after just two shots This is not that easy at all? It is true that the system does not require him to jump very high when shooting a three-pointer. He saves some energy in taking off, but the force exerted by his arms and wrists is much greater. The NBA holds the "Three-Point Contest" every year at the All-Star Game, in which many contestants use the shooting action of "weighing the shot," which is to shoot with a slight jump. This kind of shooting action is of course not feasible in regular competitions, but it is quite practical in the "Three-Point Contest". After all, there is no one to defend! It can not only save energy, but also improve the stability of shooting. Bonner of the San Antonio Spurs used this kind of shooting action, and his career three-point shooting rate reached more than 35%. Of course, if there is no "gdp" combination to take away the opponent's defensive players, with his shooting actionhow many shots can he take in one game? In fact, when it comes to shooting stability, not jumping at all is the most stable! Otherwise, why not jump when the free throws? The rules don't stipulate that jumping is not allowed? It's far Continue to talk about three -pointers! The NBA's "Three-Point Contest" requires contestants to shoot five balls at five points outside the three-point line, and the time is only 1 minute. Even if you are a professional basketball player, even if you are a "weighed shot", it is not easy to take 25 consecutive shots in one minute. Durant once commented on Kobe's 81-point performance in a single game. He did not mention how awesome Kobe's performance was, but praised his physical fitness. "How good is his physical condition when he takes 46 shots in a game?" Of course, this is nothing 10 years later, Kobe took 50 crazy shots and scored 60 points in the last game of his career! It is indeed the "Black Mamba", it is really scary! Wang Dalin feels that Kobe¡¯s physical strength will not be lower than 90 when he is 38 years old, which will definitely exceed most of the players in the league! ??The three-point shooting ability is 66, and the shooting rate when no one is guarding is about 60%. Wang Dalin basically shoots ten or so shots in a row and then takes a break for two or three minutes. He made 100 shots in more than half an hour. By about 11:30 in the morning, he had already made 400 three-pointers, and was still 200 goals away from completing the task. Overall evaluation, these 600 three-pointers are indeed less difficult than 1,000 mid-range shots. He returned home slowly, took a nap after lunch, and came to the basketball court again around 1 p.m. I saw a few people playing 3v3 bullfighting on the basketball court. Their skin colors ranged from black to white, and almost everyone had tattoos on their arms Wang Dalin felt that there should be a few black lines popping up on his forehead. It¡¯s been more than a month since he arrived in Miami, and it¡¯s not like Wang Dalin hasn¡¯t seen tattooed men before. He saw a lot of them during previous trials. ¡°In the NBA these days, no matter whether you are a starter or a substitute, whether you are a first-round pick, a second-round pick, or an undrafted player, there is almost no one who is clean. This kind of atmosphere seems to be saying to you - "You don't even have a tattoo, how dare you come to play basketball?" Wang Dalin noticed that these people were all quite tall, and almost all of them wereHe was over 1.8 meters tall, and the tallest among them was a strong black man, only a few centimeters shorter than Wang Dalin. When many people mention American street basketball, they always subconsciously think that they are very short, which is a bit confusing. In fact, there are basically no masters in American street basketball who are under 1.9 meters, and there are not many who are over 2 meters. For example, "Streetball King" Rafe Alston was the one who was teammates with Yao Ming. He was the super master in the street basketball world at that time, and there were only one or two people who could compare with him at the same time. With a height of 188cm, Alston can only be considered a small man among the masters of street basketball. After standing on the edge of the court and watching for a long time, Wang Dalin found that these people played pretty well, slightly better than most of the people he met in domestic high school competitions. When many people mention American street basketball, they will think that there are many experts there, especially in "Rucker Park", the holy land of American street basketball. Even NBA players can only fail when they come here. I have to say, this is impression flow again. In fact, there are only a few street basketball courts in the United States that have experts, and the experts in "Rucker Park" are not that good! How will Alston, who dominated the street courts back then, be in the NBA? Can¡¯t you just be a role player? Chamberlain, Jordan, Kobe, Durant and other NBA stars have all played in "Rucker Park". How often did they not crush them? "If the masters of "Rock Park" are so good, why don't they play in the NBA? Even if you are a role player, you can earn millions of dollars a year. Isn¡¯t it better than playing street ball? In the final analysis, these so-called streetball experts are just not that good! The strongest ones are like Alston. There are twenty or thirty people who can reach the level of fringe NBA players, half of whom are hanging out in "Rock Park". To be honest, Wang Dalin was surprised to see that the level of these people was comparable to the elites in domestic high school basketball. At the end of the round, several people on the field walked to the sidelines to rest. Wang Dalin stepped forward and said in broken English: "Everyone, I'm here to play basketball. Can you take me to play with you?" He thought very simply. Since he couldn't complete the three-point shooting task quietly, he simply completed the subsequent tasks first. Anyway, tasks three and four had to play 3v3 bullfighting. Although Wang Dalin¡¯s face is quite young, his height of 211cm is still very visually impactful, and people present do not look down upon him. The tallest black man smiled widely and said, "Okay, but we have a bet, it's 10 dollars a game! Boy, do you have money?" Wang Dalin took out a few crumpled bills from his shorts pocket: "I have 53 US dollars, okay?" The strong black man asked again: "Do you know the rules here?" Wang Dalin shook his head. The strong black man smiled and said: "We only have three rules here. First, each game is 10 points. A two-pointer is worth 1 point, and a three-pointer is worth 2 points. Secondly, after grabbing a defensive rebound, the ball must be You can only launch an offense when you are outside the three-point line; third, you can directly attack if you grab the ball while defending. If you go out of bounds or commit a foul, you will be re-served, do you understand?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "I know, it's the same rules as I know! How to divide the teams?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 5 Bullfighting (2) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The strong black man simply divided the people. Wang Dalin¡¯s teammates were a black man and a white man. They really had three skin colors: black, white and yellow. The black man¡¯s name is John. He is about 1.8 meters tall and is absolutely small. The white man¡¯s name is Mark. He is over 1.9 meters tall, but he is as thin as a bamboo pole. In the other team, there is a strong black man named Billy, who is 203cm tall. Wang Dalin has been watching for a while now and knows that although his skills are a bit rough, his strength and jumping are good, and he is considered the strongest among them. The other two are black men close to 1.9 meters tall. The one wearing a blue vest is called Gerrard, and the one wearing the Heat's No. 10 jersey is called Dantley. Seeing this Dantley, Wang Dalin couldn't help but smile. It seems that this guy is a fan of Hardaway? During this period, the boss of the Heat was naturally the "Kidney Warrior" Alonzo Mourning, and the team's second-in-command was Tim Hardaway, who wore the No. 10 jersey. Tim Hardaway is only 183cm tall. From 1989 to 2003, he played in the NBA for a total of 15 seasons. In his career, he averaged 17.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game, shooting 43.1% from the field and 35.5% from the three-point range. In his peak season, he averaged 20.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game, making him a proper All-Star player. It can be said that before the "answer" Allen Iverson landed in the NBA, Tim Hardaway was "the strongest 183 on the surface"! However, in 2000, Hardaway was already at the end of his career and was obviously old. In the 1999-00 season, he averaged only 13.4 points per game and shot only 38.6% from the field. The two sides needed to shoot three-pointers to compete for the ball. Wang Dalin hit it with one hit and won the starting ball. Haha, do you really think that the 400 three-pointers I made this morning were for nothing? John passed the ball to Wang Dalin first, maybe because the three-point hit just now made him trust Wang Dalin a little more? The strong black man Billy hurriedly switched defenses with Gerrard and moved to a high position. It was obvious that Wang Dalin's three-pointer just now made him dare not underestimate this big yellow man. Wang Dalin lowered his center of gravity while holding the ball, and glanced behind Billy. John and Mark were both closely pressed against each other, so he decided to score the ball himself. Seeing Wang Dalin start dribbling, Billy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The ball-handling skills of big men are generally rough these days, and Billy naturally believes that Wang Dalin will be no exception. But he knew the next secondthis kind of impression flow will be punished! Wang Dalin only used a simple change of direction in front of his body to easily break through Billy's defense, and then stepped on the free throw line to make a pull-up jump shot. "Whoops!" 1:0! With Wang Dalin's "up to" 54 ball control ability, it is certainly impossible for him to perform fancy tricks such as "Sam Goad", but the most basic change of direction in front of the body is not difficult. Billy threw the ball back to Wang Dalin and said in a rough voice: "Boy, you were just lucky just now. I won't make it so easy for you again!" Wang Dalin curled his lips He said this sentence so fast that he barely understood it. For the second goal, Wang Dalin passed the ball to John. John performed a series of dazzling dribbling moves. Although he successfully broke through Dantley's defense, when he shot to the basket, he was ruthlessly blocked by Billy. This block was as powerful as a volleyball smash, and the basketball flew directly into the hands of Wang Dalin, who was standing outside the three-point line. Seeing that Wang Dalin was about to take a shot, Gerrard hurriedly rushed towards him, but the distance was still too far and there was no time to interfere. He could only hope that he would not make the shot. Wang Dalin only got 400 of these big vacancies in the morning, so he feels good! With Wang Dalin hitting a three-pointer, the score came to 3:0! Billy was so angry that he shouted at Gerrard: "Gerrard, you idiot! Keep an eye on this kid and don't give him a chance to shoot!" Gerrard didn¡¯t argue. He was indeed out of position just now, mainly because John¡¯s breakthrough made him involuntarily take two steps back to the basket. Wang Dalin then served. After receiving the pass, John dribbled past Dantley again, but this time Dantley defended very hard. After several attempts, he had to pass the ball back to Wang Dalin. This time, Gerald was very close to him, and Wang Dalin felt very uncomfortable being entangled by him. It was not easy for him to pull away. ??If he dribbles through, it probably won't work either. After all, Gerrard is only 1.9 meters tallOn the right, his steps are much faster than Billy who is over 2 meters tall. Wang Dalin¡¯s dribbling speed is 66. It¡¯s not a big problem to break through Billy. I still don¡¯t have the confidence after thinking about Gerrard. After thinking for a moment, Wang Dalin passed the ball to Mark who cut into the basket on the other side. Mark was immediately defended by Billy. His ball-handling skills were worse than Wang Dalin's. He wanted to back up With his small body like a bamboo pole, how could he shake Billy? In desperation, Mark had no choice but to pass the ball back. After receiving the ball, Wang Dalin rushed directly from the right to the basket. Gerrard followed closely, waving his arms constantly, trying to interfere with Wang Dalin's possible pull-up shot at any time. If Gerrard¡¯s level of defense can restrain Wang Dalin, Wang Dalin might as well not stay in the United States and just go back to China. If you don¡¯t dare to shoot when faced with a defense, why play in the NBA? In the NBA, how can there be so many open opportunities for you to take action? Wang Dalin used his back force and finally pushed Gerrard away a little, then took a step back and shot. As soon as the ball was released, he knew it would definitely not go in, and hurriedly rushed towards the basket. He just exerted too much force in the confrontation, and his shooting movements were obviously a bit deformed. The strength of 40 is still too weak, and it is difficult to mix in the street basketball court! Billy hurriedly occupied the position and prepared to grab the rebound. Wang Dalin couldn't grab a good position, so he could only jump up behind Billy and use his arms to reach up. "Snapped!" The ball was caught by Wang Dalin first and flew towards the outside. It has to be said that long arms are good. If his arms are shorter, he will definitely not be able to grab this kind of ball! The reason why Yao Ming is 229cm tall (height with shoes) but cannot block shots as well as Uncle Mu, who is 10cm shorter than him, is mainly because Uncle Mu has a pair of long arms. Otherwise, why do you think this guy can stay on the court for a long time wagging his fingers? No matter how good your technique is, you must have good physical hardware. Otherwise, with Uncle Mu¡¯s Coke can-high bounce, who can he beat? There was a super shot-blocking king named Manute Bol. He was 231cm tall but weighed only 95kg. With a physique like a bean sprout, how could he have won the shot-blocking title for several seasons without a terrifying wingspan of 259cm? You try putting the short hands of "Gelifen" on him and see how many blocks he can average per game? "If you put his wingspan on Yao Ming, wouldn't it be great every night?" Guaranteed to make you laugh out loud every day! Some people will saythat's not right? ?? Charles Barkley is less than 2 meters tall, didn¡¯t he still win the single-season rebounding title? There is one thing to say, with a "naturally huge butt" like Barkley, how many NBA interior players can withstand it? And this guy is 198cm tall (said to be very hydrated), but has a wingspan of 214cm, which is longer than the "old gangster"'s 212cm. Is the hardware condition not strong enough? Looking at the seventy-year history of the NBA, Barkley is the only rebounding champion under 2 meters tall, and there is no shot-blocking champion under 2 meters tall. John was extremely fast, got the ball first, and then pulled it up and made a jump shot. This bouncetsk, tsk, tsk, it's so high! But this level of shooting is really trendy! ??Can¡¯t even make a shot in such a wide open space? Wang Dalin had no time to complain, so he had to grab the rebound again. This ballhe used his height and wingspan to push the ball away from Billy's head. This time, we were lucky. It was Mark who received the ball. He took two dribbles after catching the ball and made a pull-up jumper like John. "Don'tpass it to meah?" After grabbing the rebound, Wang Dalin had taken a big step to the side at the right time, at least two meters away from Billy under the basket. If he could get the ball at this time, he would have made an easy shot. How many people on the street court like to pass the ball? Who doesn¡¯t look at the basket first when they get the ball? This ball bounced very far, it was a long backboard, and its direction was exactly towards Wang Dalin. Wang Dalin was overjoyed: "This ball I accepted it with a smile!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 6 Bullfighting (3) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Wang Dalin was in an excellent position for this rebound and picked it off smoothly. Facing Billy's defense, he did not pass the ball. He finally understood that neither Mark nor John were reliable, so they might as well do it themselves. But he did not choose to attack with his back. Firstly, his strength could not defeat Billy. Secondly, his back-up attacks were already terrible. 43 behind-the-back hook shots, 37 behind-the-back fadeaway jumpers, 33 behind-the-back action Who can beat him at this level? It is estimated that Billy on the opposite side has higher data than this! However, his face-to-face offense is not bad on a street basketball court, with 71 mid-range shots and 66 close-range shots. With his height and wingspan, he can still be somewhat accurate even against Billy's defense. After several consecutive tentative steps, Billy finally couldn't help but adjust his defensive distance backwards. Wang Dalin immediately seized the opportunity and made a pull-up jumper. Billy was completely unable to block this shot, and he didn¡¯t even have time to interfere. The basketball passed through the basket with a "swish" sound, 4:0! In the next few balls, Wang Dalin continued to attack with various pull-outs. Although not every ball can be scored, there is nothing Billy can do against this kind of attack. After all, he is 8cm shorter, which means he is two levels lower on the basketball court. ¡°Besides, Wang Dalin¡¯s long arms are quite rare in the NBA. It is almost impossible to block his shots head-on. Billy can only interfere with him as much as possible. Of course, because Wang Dalin missed a few goals, the Belgian side also seized the opportunity to score two goals. The score reached 8:2, and Billy had already begun to double-team Wang Dalin. At this time, Wang Dalin's "up to" 62 passing vision and 69 passing accuracy came into use. After receiving a wonderful pass from Wang Dalin, Mark and John each made a shot, killing the game directly. Wang Dalin smiled happily after getting 800 points. He took advantage of drinking water to gain 4 points of physical strength for himself. Now his physical strength has reached 60, which has been significantly improved from 54 yesterday morning. Originally, he was a little tired after playing a round of bullfighting, but now he couldn't even breathe. "Do it again!" Billy took a swig of water and said angrily, "I don't believe you are so powerful!" ¡°I just lost $10, and this guy was obviously not happy. This was the year 2000, and 10 U.S. dollars could be exchanged for more than 80 yuan of soft currency, which was enough for three people to have a hot pot meal in Chongqing! Wang Dalin happily stuffed the banknotes he just won into his pocket and said with a smile: "Come on, keep going!" Task three is completed, but task four still needs to win 10 more bullfights! Facing people of Billy¡¯s level, how could Wang Dalin let go of this opportunity to earn points? In the second game, as expected, Wang Dalin and the others won. This time the score was even better - 10:0! With Wang Dalin¡¯s frequent shots, the defensive attention of the Belgian side was attracted to him. John and Mark made frequent air cuts, and they scored 7 out of 10 points. Billy was still unconvinced, and then played the third, fourth, and fifth games They all lost without exception. In the sixth game, Belgium once chased the score to 8:9. They only needed to score a three-pointer to win this game. But at the critical moment, Gerrard's three-pointer jumped out of the basket. Wang Dalin picked off the rebound and passed the ball to John outside the three-point line. John was possessed by some unknown star this time, and hit a fadeaway three-pointer against Dantley's defense, directly ending the game. As the saying goes: Who doesn¡¯t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? In this game just now, didn¡¯t Billy, a rough guy, also score a three-pointer? Billy was still unconvinced and asked John and Dantley to switch teams. The result In the seventh inning, Dantley hit two three-pointers; in the eighth inning, he scored 5 points on sudden shots; in the ninth inning, the two sides played extremely anxiously, and Dantley made another breakthrough at a critical moment. The basket killed the game. Billy was a little anxious after losing and directly asked to play with Wang Dalin. Now the others quit, especially Gerrard. Why, you were the only one who lost $90 when co-authoring it, right? "My money didn't come from the strong wind!" Finally, Billy proposed a second plan¡ª¡ª Billy, Wang Dalin and Gerrard formed a team, and Dantley, John and a newly arrived white boy formed a team. This time no one objected. thisIn terms of offense, Dennis faced Wang Dalin¡¯s tight defense, so of course it was impossible for Dennis to have a high shooting percentage. ??????????????????????? Once the shot fails, and with Billy as a "black and tough" player under the basket, the rebound is basically for nothing. When it was Wang Dalin's turn to attack, Dennis felt what it meant to be in a dilemma. If he were to defend Wang Dalin, neither Dantley nor John would be able to withstand this guy's lob to Billy at the basket. And if he goes to the basket to defend Billy, with the height of Dantley and John, Wang Dalin's pull-up in the mid-range is not too easy. Except for Dennis¡¯ surprise attack at the beginning of this game, Dennis and the others only scored 2 goals in total in the following games and lost this game 5:10. Billy, who won back $10, asked for another round while the iron was hot. Dennis was also a little unconvinced, so the two sides played another round. 10:3, I lost more this time! In this game, Dennis tried his best and only scored 3 points. He had to face Wang Dalin's strict defense every time, and he struggled very much. And Wang Dalin and Billy played well inside and outside, and the two scored 8 points together. The other 2 points were a three-pointer made by Gerrard. All three opponents were attracted to the three-second zone. There was no one three meters in front of Gerrard. If he failed to make the shot, Billy would probably scold him to death. After this round, Wang Dalin had completed task four, got 8,000 points and won 110 US dollars as he wished, and happily bid farewell to everyone and left the stadium. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 7 Second Phase Task You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After returning home, Wang Dalin quickly lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and opened the system interface in his mind. There are a total of 8,000 points, how can I add more points? Wang Dalin currently has many abilities below 50: 40 strength, 43 behind-the-back hook shot, 37 behind-the-back jump shot, 33 behind-the-back action, 40 inside defense, 42 outside defense, 46 steals and 45 offensive rebounds. He believes that he should improve his defensive ability first, but the key point isshould he improve his outside defense or inside defense first? If you follow his current playing style of small forward, of course you should first consider improving perimeter defense, but this problem is not that simple! It¡¯s 2000 now, not 2020, which has already entered the small ball era This is the era of "those who get the inside line win the world". Although Olajuwon, David Robinson and Ewing have all shown their age, there is no shortage of stars in the league's inside line. Last season, Shaquille O'Neal just led the Lakers to their first championship. He averaged 29.7 points, 13.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game in the regular season. In the playoffs, he averaged 30.7 points, 15.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. It's simply amazing. It's so scary! Chris Webber of the Kings averaged 24.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. Although his intimidation in the interior is slightly less than that of the "Shark", he has become a historical All-Star power forward. The Jazz¡¯s Karl Malone averaged 25.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. The Heat¡¯s Alonzo Mourning averaged 21.7 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game last season and is still going strong. In addition, the Spurs' Tim Duncan averaged 23.2 points, 12.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game this season and has become the strongest new generation super insider in the league. He is 211cm tall and plays small forward? Aren¡¯t you too whimsical? Didn¡¯t you see that Garnett deliberately lowered his height by a few centimeters and could only play power forward? Speaking of which, according to NBA rules, Wang Dalin¡¯s height should be 213cm with shoes on, which is a full 7 feet! ??Besides Nelson, who among the NBA head coaches these days would let a 7-foot tall man serve as a high turret on the perimeter? Old Nelson: "I will let Wang Zhizhi serve as an anti-aircraft turret. If you don't accept it, why don't you come and bite me?" Therefore, if Wang Dalin wants to participate in the Summer League, he must first play the power forward position, otherwise he may not even be able to qualify for the Summer League. Since you want to play power forward, then first increase the interior defense to 60 in one go, which cost a full 6,000 points! ??? Every 300 points for interior defense of 60 and below will increase by 1 point, and 60-69 will require 600 points to increase by 1 point. Wang Dalin gritted his teeth and was reluctant to add more points. 60 interior defense should be enough in the summer league! What to add next? ¡°Hmm¡­that¡¯s right, just increase your strength. His strength is only 40, so he would be at a huge disadvantage against the big guys in the paint! After gaining 2000 points and increasing his strength by 10 points, his strength reached 50 which is still not good, but as long as he doesn't encounter powerful insiders, he should be able to cope with it. It is not that there are weak insiders who are performing well in the NBA these days. For example, "veteran veteran" Dirk Nowitzki averaged 17.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game last season. The "veteran driver" in the second grade was thin, and his physical strength was much worse than at his peak. The offense on the court basically relied on mid-range shots. Of course, this guy¡¯s physical strength wasn¡¯t that strong at his peak. If the Heat coaching staff can make Wang Dalin feel that he has the potential to become a "shrunk version of Nowitzki," he will probably have a place on the bench. Although this system is a comparison system, after all, it is impossible to become a fat man in one go. If you want to directly reach the full level and reach a level that is even more perverted than Durant, no YY novel at a certain point would dare to write like this! After adding a full 20 points of interior defense and 10 points of strength, his comprehensive ability value has risen to 71. The overall ability value is 71. In other draft years, he would probably be ranked at the end of the first round. In 2000, he should be considered a lottery pick. Early the next morning, Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t wait to come to the court and earned another 600 points after completing the remaining 200 three-point shooting tasks. As he hit the last three-pointer, there was a "ding" sound in his mind, and then Wang Dalin entered the system interface and saw that a page had popped up. It turned out that the second phase of the task was released. The tasks in the second phase are still four: "Task 1: Complete 1,000 push-ups in total during training, reward: 2 points of strength improvement! Note: Young man, only with skills in the NBA.? is not possible. If you are weak, you will not be able to cope with high-intensity confrontation, so exercise your strength! " "Task 2: Hit a total of 20,000 mid-range jumpers during training. Reward: Improve your mid-range jumper by 2 points! Note: Hardworking young man, do you still remember Hanamichi Sakuragi back then? Remember how he improved his shooting ability Really? That¡¯s right, it¡¯s 20,000 shots! Come on, young man, have fun shooting!¡± ¡°Task 3: Complete 10 times of 84kg bench press within 60 seconds, reward: 5,000 points!¡± "Task 4: Get 5 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a single game in the NBA Summer League. Reward: 5,000 points!" ¡°Only after completing the above tasks can you unlock the next phase of the task!¡± After reading it carefully, Wang Dalin couldn't help but slapped his thigh hard. "Damn it! What a loss!" ¡°If he had used all his points yesterday to increase his strength and increased it to 63 in one go, he would have been able to easily complete task three of the second stage. Isn¡¯t it just to complete 10 times of 84kg bench press in 60 seconds? The power of 63 is definitely a piece of cake! But now the power is only 50, so it¡¯s hard to say. There are rumors that Durant gave up the bench press before the draft because he couldn't push a single one. You read that right, he can¡¯t even press a single 84kg bench press! Wang Dalin, the chief "Kevin Durant Encyclopedia" in Chongqing (self-proclaimed), believes that according to the standards of his own system, Durant's strength as a rookie was definitely less than 40. During the physical test, Wang Dalin¡¯s strength was 40 and he pushed twice! As a super scorer who averaged 25.8 points per game in the NCAA, although Durant also averaged 20.3 points per game in his rookie season in the NBA, his offensive efficiency dropped by more than one level compared to when he was in college. (PS: The game time of NCAA is 20 minutes each half, and the time limit for each attack is 35 seconds. The game rhythm is much slower than that of NBA. Those who average more than 20 points per game are super scorers, which is almost the same. Yu averaged 30 points per game in the NBA!) And he averaged 11.1 rebounds per game in college, but only averaged 4.4 rebounds per game in his NBA rookie season. You must know that Durant¡¯s height in his rookie season was more than the official 206cm, which shows how strong his confrontation ability was at that time. ¡°Hmm¡­ Let¡¯s continue talking about bench press! Wang Dalin went home first, and then called assistant coach Spoelstra. Spoelstra was surprised when he received a call from Wang Dalin. He has a good impression of this young player from China. Spoelstra was quite sorry to see him become an undrafted player before. The Heat played well last season, ranking second in the Eastern Conference during the regular season, and team boss Mourning was selected to the All-NBA Second Team. But as an assistant coach, Spoelstra discovered that Mourning's kidney disease was very serious. ??And the team's second leader Hardaway has also declined significantly. It is thankful to be able to maintain the same performance as last season this season. Fortunately, the Heat have acquired outstanding players such as Eddie Jones, Anthony Mason and Brian Grant through a series of transactions this season. Otherwise, it may be difficult to even reach the playoffs. In this case, if we can add a potential insider like Wang Dalin, it will definitely be helpful to the team. Of course, if Spoelstra can think of it, why can¡¯t Pat Riley think of it? But if you use your chips to gamble on a Chinese insider who is only 18 years old and unknown, it is better to use the remaining second-round pick to sign Ernest Brown, a meat shield center. At least, Brown has performed quite well in the NCAA, and Wang Dalin Whether he can survive in the NCAA is still unknown. "Coach, I wonder if I can use the team's gym! I've been working on my strength recently and have achieved certain results, so I want to test it out!" After hearing this, Spoelstra became obviously interested. He just hesitated for a moment and then replied: "Okay, no problem, but I also want to come over and see your training, okay?" "Of course!" Wang Dalin smiled, "I just want to show off in front of you, coach!" Nonsense, the strength has been increased by 11 points, which must be a "big improvement". In this case, wouldn¡¯t it be nice to be able to show off in front of Spoelstra? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 8 Still have to do push-ups You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! According to the agreed time, Wang Dalin came to the team's gym and saw that Spoelstra had already arrived - the rental house where Wang Dalin lived was relatively far away. "Hi, Wang, how are you lately?" ¡°It¡¯s okay, thank you, Eric!¡± After a brief exchange of greetings, Wang Dalin went straight to the topic, lay down on the bench, and started "lifting iron" without saying a word. "one two three four¡­¡­" As Wang Dalin completed the promotions one after another, Spoelstra gradually showed an expression of surprise. This is called "certain results have been achieved"? Is this called "earth-shaking changes"? As the team¡¯s assistant coach, Spoelstra remembered very clearly that Wang Dalin had only completed 2 reps of 84kg bench press on his side, and it was obvious that he had tried his best. And this time, he actually completed it 10 times? After finally completing 10 bench presses, Wang Dalin quickly looked at his watch that was timing - "65 seconds!" It¡¯s only 5 seconds too late! Wang Dalin knew very well that he had definitely given his best performance just now. Even if he was asked to do it a few more times, it would be difficult to surpass this result. Seeing the disappointment on Wang Dalin¡¯s face, Spoelstra came over and patted him gently on the shoulder, with a smile of relief on his face. "King, you don't have to be too strict with yourself. In my opinion, you seem to be a completely different person than when you were on your side!" "Really, I didn't lie to you. You have made such great progress in such a short period of time. You must have practiced very hard, right?" Wang Dalin nodded and thought: "Yes, it is indeed very difficult. I made 1,000 mid-range shots and 600 three-pointers, plus played 11 3v3 bullfights" Since there was an opportunity to communicate with Spoelstra alone, Wang Dalin naturally would not miss it. He just took a short rest and said: "Coach, I would like to ask, has the roster of this year's summer league been finalized? If so, If there is a chance, I would like to" "Well I know what you want to say!" Spoelstra frowned slightly, "To be honest, I didn't expect you to be still in Miami during this time! So but this shouldn't be a problem, I believe I, as long as you have my recommendation, I believe Pat will give you a chance!" As Pat Riley¡¯s closest confidant, Spoelstra knew that it was a bit regretful that Riley did not keep his promise to sign Wang Dalin with the 23rd pick in the second round. He believed that if the Heat gave Wang Dalin a chance to participate in the summer league, Pat Riley would not object. And in the past two years, Pat Riley has obviously designated Spoelstra as his successor. Not to mention the summer league, even in the preseason, it is estimated that he will hand the baton to Spoelstra. In other words, in the summer league, the Heat's actual head coach is Spoelstra. Spoelstra is indeed optimistic about Wang Dalin. Even if he could make the decision, he would have signed Wang Dalin during the draft. After all, Wang Dalin¡¯s static talent is indeed very good, and his shooting touch is very soft. The most important thing is he is only 18 years old! In the NBA draft, youth is really capital! For example, in the 2004 draft, if Dwight Howard was not only 18 years old, how could he defeat Emeka Okafor and be elected as the "No. 1 pick"? No way, Okafor was already 22 years old when he was drafted and had already graduated from college, while Howard had just graduated from high school. ¡°If he had been two or three years younger, or even just one year younger, the situation would probably have been different. It can only be said that in the 2000 draft, the mature and prudent Pat Riley did not choose to take a gamble. After all, it is a bit risky to bet on this young Chinese player. After getting Spoelstra¡¯s promise, Wang Dalin was very happy. At least his choice to stay finally had a good result. If he can¡¯t even play in the summer league, there¡¯s really no point in him staying in Miami. Next, Wang Dalin did a lot of strength training, such as "medicine ball rotation", "barbell press", "power rope" and so on. Spoelstra has been standing aside and watching, with a happy smile on his face from time to time. Look! What a great guy! In such a short period of time, not only has my strength improved a lot, but my physical fitness has also improved a lot It seems that a lot of effort has been put into it.?Practice hard! After training in the afternoon, Wang Dalin and Spoelstra said goodbye to each other very friendly. Then he didn¡¯t go home directly, but went to have a delicious barbecue. During this period of time, he has been living alone and has never had a decent meal, so he can treat himself. In the evening, after returning home, Wang Dalin rested for a while, then lay on the ground and started doing push-ups. There is no other way Although he can complete the 84kg bench press 10 times in a row, it is just a little slow, so he can only put his hope on the first task. As long as he completes 1,000 push-ups in total, he will receive a 2-point strength reward. By then, his strength will reach 53, which should be enough for him to complete the bench press task. As long as you complete the bench press task, you will receive a reward of 5,000 points, which will slightly increase your ability value! With Wang Dalin¡¯s current strength, doing push-ups is still very easy. As long as he doesn¡¯t lose speed, doing hundreds of push-ups at one breath is nothing. However, the task requirement is to "complete a total of 1,000 push-ups", which obviously cannot be completed in one day. Wang Dalin made a simple plan in his mind: do 100 push-ups in each group, rest for 10 minutes between each group, and try how many he can do in one night. According to the original estimate, he felt that he could complete at least 6-8 groups in one night. In fact, he was very reluctant to complete 5 groups. Every push-up required by the system must meet the standard, and even a little bit of cutting corners will not be counted in the completed number. So in the fourth and fifth rounds, Wang Dalin felt a little strenuous. After a brief bath, Wang Dalin fell on the bed exhausted, and finally did not forget to massage his arms before going to bed. Early the next morning, he took the basketball to the street court again. Although completing 1,000 push-ups is the top priority right now, the task of completing a total of 20,000 mid-range jumpers cannot be left alone. After completing it, you can increase your mid-range shooting ability by 2 points, which is very attractive to Wang Dalin. It can be said that his most outstanding skill now is the mid-range shot. After completing the push-up task and getting 5,000 points, he is ready to hit the mid-range shot. According to the "price" of 800 points and 1 point in the range of 70-79, his mid-range shooting can be increased to 77, plus 2 points, it is 79 Throw it into the NBA substitute players, and he can be considered a "mid-range handsome guy" Got it! When Kobe Bryant first entered the NBA, his mid-range shooting ability was probably not that strong, right? Wang Dalin is already very familiar with "mid-range jump shots". After all, he only made 1,000 shots in the past two days, so he shot them very smoothly. This time he scored 1,000 goals in half a day, mainly because his physical fitness has improved a lot, and his arms are not as sore as the day before. After lunch, he massaged his arms, then took a nap. After adjusting to his best condition, Wang Dalin methodically completed 5 sets of 100 push-ups. Although he was exhausted and sweating profusely, he still couldn't contain his excitement after increasing his strength by 2 points. The strength of 53 should be enough to complete 10 times of 84kg bench press in 60 seconds, but to be on the safe side, Wang Dalin decided to complete this challenge the next day. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 9 The new version of Wang Dalin You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The NBA summer league is not an official league, but is organized by some teams during the offseason. This tournament was first initiated by the Utah Jazz. At that time, it was also called the "Rocky Mountain Summer League" and was founded in 1984. The original purpose was just to promote the Jazz in the Utah area, and the participating teams were also composed of alumni from various universities. Starting in 1990, the Jazz invited the Trail Blazers, Suns and Kings to participate in the event; in 1998, there were 16 teams participating, but in the end the popularity of the league went from bad to worse. In 2009, the "Rocky Mountain Summer League" was officially suspended due to too few participating teams. In 2015, the Jazz revived the league, but it was renamed the "Utah Summer League." The Heat are not participating in the "Rocky Mountain Summer League", but the "Orlando Summer League", which is hosted by the Orlando Magic. There are 6 participating teams this year, namely the Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, and Minnesota Timberwolves. (ps: The Orlando Summer League was actually held for the first time in 2001, and the Heat did not send a lineup to compete until 2003. Lao Wang did it purely to promote the plot, readers please don¡¯t complain!) The Heat's lineup is pretty good, and they are already considered "strong" in the summer league. The first is this year¡¯s rookies Eddie House and Ernest Brown. The two rookies must test their quality in the summer league before setting foot in the NBA. Then there are A.C. Green, Brian Grant, Cedric Ceballos and Anthony Mason who just joined the team this year. These are all veterans who have been in the NBA for many years. They come to the summer league mainly to maintain their condition. Considering the injury risks of the veterans, their playing time will certainly not be very long. The real ¡°greats¡± are the two swingmen Eddie Jones and Ricky Davis. Last season, Eddie Jones averaged 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, making him an All-Star! Although Ricky Davis only averaged 4.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in the 1999-00 season, I believe many fans know this guy. In the 2002-03 season, he was able to average 20.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game with the Cavaliers, which is definitely enough to be the boss of a team. Although this guy¡¯s IQ and EQ are clearly lacking, his shot selection is poor, and his offensive efficiency is low, he did once serve as the boss of the Cavaliers back thenalbeit briefly! Otherwise, this product will not be in front of the reporter, saying that famous "I think the team chooses LeBron is to assist me"! In fact, in the original 2000-01 season, Ricky Davis did not get many opportunities with the Heat. He only played 7 games in total, averaged only 10 minutes per game, and averaged 4.1 points per game. Rebounds, 1.6 assists even worse than his performance the previous season. Therefore, in this summer league, Spoelstra did not regard Ricky Davis as the team's main strength. In addition to the above 8 people, there is another person in the Heat's lineup, and that is Wang Dalin! As early as three days ago, he has completed the first three tasks of the second stage. Currently, his mid-range shooting is "up to" 79, physical strength is 60, and strength is 53, which are all stronger than during the draft trial. His originally weak confrontation ability has been greatly improved, and his already good mid-range shooting has been qualitatively improved. With the strength increased by 3 points again and the mid-range shot increased by 8 points, his current comprehensive ability value has also reached 72. It can be said that in 2000, a small draft year, there should be less than 10 people better than him. Although there is nothing to be proud of in being better than a bunch of rookies, at this time, he has indeed changed his skills, and a "new version" of Wang Dalin has been released! The schedule of the summer league is very tight. The first two days of the preliminaries are double matches on the same day. The game times are 10 am and 8 pm respectively. ? July 9th against the Pistons and Cavaliers, July 10th against the Bucks and Timberwolves, and July 11th against the Magic on the night. After the 5 preliminaries, the top four teams will advance to the semi-finals on July 12 based on their results, and finally the third, fourth, and champion runner-up will be decided on July 13. On July 8, Wang Dalin followed the team to Orlando. That night, in the small multi-purpose hall of the hotel, Spoelstra convened everyone for a simple pre-match meeting. At the meeting, Spoelstra first decided on the starting lineup for the game, which were center A.C. Green, power forward Brian Grant, small forward Cedric Ceballos, shooting guard Eddie Jones, and point guard Eddie Jones. Dee House. Of course, veterans cannot play for too long. In fact, this team?In the summer league, Ernest Brown, Wang Dalin, Ricky Davis and Eddie House will all get a lot of playing time. For the sake of record, maybe Spoelstra will let Eddie Jones play a little longer. Since he became the team¡¯s assistant coach, this is the first time Spoelstra has led the team alone. He can¡¯t go back to finish last or second, right? Even if the main purpose of the summer league is to examine new players, it would still be a bit embarrassing if the record is too low. "I would like to remind you all again, use pick-and-rolls as much as possible when attacking, and don't hesitate when there is space for shooting!" At the end of the meeting, Spoelstra repeatedly emphasized: "You are not allowed to act recklessly with the ball!" When he said this, he stared straight at Ricky Davis. Everyone present had good basketball IQs, but this guywell, he would shed tears if he said it too much! If the team wasn¡¯t eager to get Eddie Jones and Anthony Mason, how could they accept this parallel import? That¡¯s right, at this time, Ricky Davis not only stretched his hips in offense, but was also not active in defense. Everyone generally thought that he was a parallel import! After the meeting, everyone got up and returned to their rooms. Only Wang Dalin was left alone by Spoelstra. "Wang, I know you have made great progress during this period, so don't be nervous tomorrow" Spoelstra seemed to be carefully considering his words, paused here, "Relax ¡­ Show your skills and try to get Pat to give you a contract when the summer league is over!¡± "I understand, coach!" Wang Dalin bowed respectfully to the young Filipino coach, "Thank you very much for your help during this time!" It seems that everything is going well, but Wang Dalin knows very well that without Spoelstra's recommendation, Wang Dalin may not have a chance to participate in the summer league. After returning to the room, he took a shower and went to bed quickly. ¡­¡­ At 10 a.m. the next day, the first game started on time. The Heat entered the state from the beginning and led the Pistons 17:8 in less than half a quarter. Eddie Jones has indeed entered his peak period. In just over 5 minutes, he scored 8 points on sudden shots, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. He is in good condition. The Pistons were forced to call the first timeout, hoping to take this opportunity to cool off Jones' hand, but Jones did not play after the timeout ended. Spoelstra directly performed a 4-for-4, and only Eddie House remained on the court in the starting lineup. Since Grant, the starting power forward, is still on the court, and Ernest Brown, the meat shield, must play center, Wang Dalin¡¯s position is small forward, and his opponent on the court at this moment is Billy Owens. The No. 3 overall pick in 1991 has been playing in the NBA for many years. He is suffering from injuries and his steps are now very old. Moreover, he is only 6 feet 8 inches (203cm) tall. Wang Dalin feels that he has an advantage against him. . Eddie House was just a rookie. After dribbling the ball halfway, he immediately passed the ball to Grant, the oldest player on the court. However, Grant's position was not very good, so he passed the ball without hesitation. It was given to Wang Dalin outside the three-point line on the wing. Owens slid up and reached out to grab the ball. Wang Dalin turned sideways and raised his left arm to support it. He grabbed the ball with his right hand and stretched it out backwards. His movements were very handsome. "Well, the first goal of my career will start with you!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 10 Debut You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! If it were Billy Owens at his peak, Wang Dalin would definitely be blown away against him. At his peak, this guy could probably average 15 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists per game, and his shooting percentage exceeded 50%. He was definitely a very good player in the league. Excellent small forward. And he is 203cm tall and weighs 100kg. His body is very similar to Scottie Pippen, the second in charge of the Bulls dynasty. He was the perfect body type for a small forward in that era. However, after many years of playing in the NBA, Owens has been covered in injuries. In the 1999-00 season, his form has plummeted. He averaged only 6.4 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, shooting 38% from the field and 28.6% from the three-point range. , and his average three-point shooting percentage in the first five seasons was at least 38%. Of course, in the 2000-01 season, Owens performed even more aggressively. His average three-point shooting percentage even dropped to 15% during the season, and his free throw shooting rate was only 47.5%, which was worse than O'Neal's free throw shooting. After this season, Owens directly chose to retire, ending his 12-year career. Facing Owens, whose strength had reached rock bottom, Wang Dalin did not hesitate. After a tentative step, he immediately dribbled the ball and broke through from the right side. Taking two steps in from the three-point line, Wang Dalin made a pull-up jump shot, and the basketball passed through the basket with a "swish" sound. This goal was scored cleanly, and the Heat bench on the sidelines cheered. Spoelstra shouted loudly: "The king shot well just hit it like this!" It can be said that among the people present, Spoelstra is the one who values ??Wang Dalin the most. It is precisely because of his recommendation that Wang Dalin can enter the Heat's summer league lineup. If Wang Dalin performs poorly, as he did in the previous trial, Spoelstra's impression in Pat Riley's mind will be reduced a lot. Now that Wang Dalin scored a goal as soon as he came on the field, Spoelstra felt a big stone fall directly into his stomach Well, it should be said that just after half the fall, he was still a little worried about Wang Dalin's subsequent performance. The Pistons' offense was quite simple. Mickey Moore wanted to return a shot from the mid-range, but the ball was blocked due to Brown's interference. Wang Dalin struggled to get in position, but the rebound was still picked off by Grant. With his current rebounding ability, how can he beat Grant? This high-quality insider averaged more than 10 rebounds per game at his peak, and averaged 7.4 rebounds per game throughout his career. In the original 2000-01 season, he averaged 8.8 rebounds per game for the Heat, second only to Anthony Mason and higher than Mourning! It was the Heat's turn to attack, and the ball was once again given to Grant. This time he attacked hard in the interior, but unfortunately the ball did not go in. The rebound was clicked by Brown and flew to Wang Dalin's hands. Wang Dalin faked a shot and knocked Owens away. As soon as he reached the free throw line, the opponent's defense was already close to him, and he raised his hand to pull out. The guy who was guarding him was no unknown person, he was actually the famous Ben Wallace! Facing this defensive warrior who would win the 4th Defensive Player of the Year award, Wang Dalin naturally did not hesitate. He jumped up and did not take a shot, but quickly passed the ball to Grant. Grant did not pull his hips this time and still succeeded in a layup despite the interference of Mickey Moore. "Good job, boy!" Grant smiled and high-fived Wang Dalin in celebration, obviously in a good mood. In the next attack, Wang Dalin passed another second pass to Mason and celebrated with another high-five. In the later part of the first quarter, Wang Dalin did not continue to show his "mid-range shooting handsome" side. Instead, he passed the ball to his teammates whenever he had the opportunity, and received 4 assists in a single quarter. If it weren¡¯t for his teammates often spitting cakes, he would have completed 5 assists in a single game in this quarter. Of course, his teammates also reciprocated the favor. When fighting for backcourt rebounds, they also blocked Wang Dalin from time to time, allowing him to grab 3 rebounds. Just like that, after the first quarter, Wang Dalin scored 2 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and his performance was quite good. The Heat adjusted their lineup at the beginning of the second quarter, with Grant and House on the bench and Jones and Davis on. There is no traditional point guard in this lineup, and Jones serves as the point guard. The other positions are shooting guard Davis, small forward Mason, power forward Wang Dalin and center Brown. Wang Dalin moved to the power forward position and directly faced Mickey Moore. Many senior fans should know this player nicknamed "Snake Man". This guy was also an undrafted player and played for many teams in his career.Team, long-term substitute. The reason why he is still somewhat famous is that he was a very unique inside player in that era. He is a big inside man who is 213cm tall and weighs 102kg, but his confrontation ability is very weak. The only thing he can do well is his shooting. Although his three-point ability is almost non-existent, his mid-range shots are very accurate and his shooting touch is very soft. ¡°If he was born 20 years later, he should be able to do well in the small ball era. With his soft touch, there is no way he can¡¯t practice three-pointers! It can be said that the current Wang Dalin is very similar to the "Snake Man" in style. Both are weak in confrontation and accurate in mid-range shots. However, Wang Dalin's passing is better than him and his interior defense is also stronger. Seeing Wang Dalin¡¯s slim figure, the ¡°Snake Man¡± thought he could beat him in the paint, but ended up eating Wang Dalin¡¯s hot Chongqing hotpot. Xiao Ye, I am thinner, but the inside defense is 60! And I blocked 71 shots, how dare you, just a "snake man", come to eat me? ¡°Did Liang Jingru give you the courage? Wang Dalin also grabbed a defensive rebound and handed the ball to Jones. Jones dribbled the ball past half court and passed the ball to Davis who was eager to take a try. After receiving the pass, Davis used a very beautiful dribbling action to break through to the basket. Facing Ben's defense, his layup ended in a blacksmith as expected. Mason rushed to grab the offensive rebound, and then passed it to Jones outside the three-point line. Jones saw that the opponent's player had pounced on him, and without any greed for credit, he immediately passed the ball to Wang Dalin in the bottom corner. Wang Dalin jumped high and hit this shot from six meters away. "Good job, kid!" Jones came over and high-fived him to celebrate, "Don't be nervous, take bold shots after catching the ball, don't be afraid of missing the shot!" In the first quarter, Wang Dalin actually had several opportunities to shoot by himself, but he always chose to pass the ball. Jones thought he was nervous. ¡°As everyone knows¡­he just wants to get a few assists first! With Jones¡¯ encouragement, Wang Dalin took a lot more decisive shots in this quarter. Although he missed 3 shots, he also hit 2. Including the previous 4 points, he has scored 8 points on 4 of 7 shots, plus 6 rebounds and 5 assists! Although not as good as Jones, who scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the first half, he was the most eye-catching performance among the rest of the Heat. After halftime, the Heat led by 12 points, 58:46, and suppressed the Pistons miserably on both offense and defense. The Heat continued to dominate in the second half and finally defeated the Pistons 107:92, making a good start to the 2000 Summer League. Wang Dalin¡¯s shooting touch declined slightly in the second half, mainly because his physical energy consumption was a bit high in the fourth quarter. After all, he played a full 36 minutes in this game, and his 60% physical strength was still a bit insufficient. However, he made 8 of 17 in the game, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored a total of 20 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. He got a triple-double in his career debut! Although this is only the summer league, Wang Dalin's performance is still good enough. His teammates were full of praise for his performance, and Spoelstra was even more happy. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 11 The third phase of the mission You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After the first game, we had to play the second game that night, the Heat versus the Cavaliers. In this game, Wang Dalin was put into the starting lineup by Spoelstra, and everyone had no objections to this. Veterans don¡¯t care how long they play in the summer league. The newcomers also recognized Wang Dalin¡¯s performance in the first game and believed that he deserved a starting position. However, Wang Dalin was not blindly confident. In the first game, he already found that his physical strength was still a bit insufficient, so at the beginning of the game, he frequently came to the top of the arc to provide high support. After completing the four tasks in the second phase, the system also released the tasks in the third phase in time: "Task 1: Complete 10 blocks or steals in total in the NBA Summer League. Reward: steals increased by 2 points, blocks increased by 2 points!" "Task 2: average no less than 9 rebounds per game in the NBA Summer League. Reward: Increase offensive rebounds by 2 points and defensive rebounds by 3 points!" "Task 3: Hit at least 1 three-pointer in every game in the NBA Summer League. Reward: Improve your three-point shooting ability by 2 points!" "Task 4: Complete 10 dunks in total in the NBA Summer League. Rewards: 2 points for cut-in dunks and 2 points for in-situ dunks!" "Task 5: Sign a contract with any NBA team for a period of no less than one season. Reward: 1 A-level star skills lottery package!" There are five tasks in this stage, each of which is very difficult, and may even be impossible to complete. Therefore, there is no condition for this phase of the task to be "the next phase of the task can be unlocked only after completing the above tasks". Wang Dalin is quite interested in the "A-level star skills lottery package". As we all know, all players who can be called "superstars" in the NBA have their own signature skills. For example, Kobe's fadeaway jumper, Nowitzki's "Golden Rooster Independence", McGrady's pull-up, Ginobili's "snake step" Although he is not bad in the mid-range shot now, he lacks this "trick". . These "tricks" can really kill the game at critical moments! ¡­¡­ After the first game, he got 5,000 points, but he did not use it to increase his physical strength. Instead, he added 5 points of interior defense and 8 points of strength. After adding up, he had 100 points left. Now his interior defense has reached 65, his strength has reached 61, and his overall ability value has increased by 1 point, reaching 73! If you want to perform more in the summer league, increasing your physical strength is undoubtedly the best choice. However, Wang Dalin believes that even if he can sign a contract with the Heat, he can only be ranked at the end of the bench in the team. How much playing time can a "water cooler keeper" have? He can average 10 minutes per game. 60 stamina is enough and there is no need to add more. Considering the current situation of the Heat this season, Wang Dalin feels that if he wants to get a contract, he must perform on the defensive end. The Heat have always represented tough defense, and head coach Pat Riley is known for his iron-blooded and tough coaching style. Wang Dalin, as an undrafted player, wants to get a contract from him, even if it is a non-guaranteed basic salary contract, he must put more thought into defense. "Look at the Heat's lineup this season. There are Jones, Mason, Grant, Mourning and Hardaway in the team. How can there be problems with the offense? At least before Mourning was sidelined for the season due to kidney disease in October 2000, the Heat coaching staff would never have believed that the team lacked firepower on the offensive end. It can be said that Alonzo Mourning is really a tragic figure. If he had not been struck down by kidney disease, his career peak could have been maintained longer. In the 1999-00 season, he was also selected to the second team of the All-NBA Team, averaging 21.7 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, and averaging 3.72 blocks per game, winning the title of "Block King". But in the 2000-01 season, he did not return until March 2000. He only played 13 games in total, averaging only 23.5 minutes per game and 13.6 points and 7.8 rebounds. It can be said that from the beginning of this season, Mourning completely bid farewell to his peak. The Heat also played a weak role for many years after this season. It was not until the arrival of O'Neal in the 04-05 season that they returned to the ranks of a strong team. Wang Dalin¡¯s high-position support ability is very good. After all, his passing vision is 62, passing accuracy is 69, and his mid-range shooting ability is good. The opponent does not dare to let him easily shoot at the top of the arc. The Heat¡¯s other starters are Green, Grant, Jones and House. They all have good offensive abilities, especially Jones, last season¡¯s NBA All-Star. With Wang Dalin¡¯s efficient support, the Heat¡¯s offense played very well.Smoothly, although the Cavaliers also played well, the Heat still led by 7 points at halftime, 55:48. Wang Dalin didn¡¯t have much personal offense in the first half, and he only scored 7 points in total including free throws. However, he scored 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks. His performance was very comprehensive. In the second half, he still had little desire to attack and continued to provide support from a high position, but the Cavaliers clearly had a wave of offensive climax. Robert Traylor and Clarence Weatherspoon, Wang Dalin, a veteran fan, cannot remember their names. It can be said that in the long history of the NBA, they can only be regarded as two of the many unknowns. , but it was these two unknown guys who brought big trouble to the Heat. This wave of offensive climax came very suddenly, just like the scene where Teacher Ma was continuously KOed. The two of them succeeded in attacking one after another. The Heat were beaten 14:4 and were immediately stopped. "Guys, you have to hit the basket more and try to cause damage to them!" "Eddie, you have to be more determined in your outside shooting, don't be so timid!" "Rebounds, you have to work hard to grab every reboundevery one!" "King, you have to take more shots from the high post! You're really good at supporting the high post, but I need you to take more shots in this game, do you understand?" ¡­¡­ The timeout ended amidst Spoelstra's roar, and players from both sides returned to the court again. The score at this time was 76:73, and the Cavaliers had gone ahead by 3 points. Now there are more than 2 minutes left in the third quarter, and it is the Heat's turn to attack. Wang Dalin came to the top of the arc again, and the basketball was passed into his hands after passing inside. The opponent guarding him was Weatherspoon, a short and sturdy forward with a height of only 201cm. He was also the main figure in the Cavaliers' great performance just now. Of course, this guy was still playing for the Heat last season. Today, he faces his old team. No wonder he is so excited. Weatherspoon thought Wang Dalin would support him from the high post like before, so his defensive position was a bit behind this time. Wang Dalin only made a fake pass, and then immediately collected the ball and made a pull-up. "Whoops!" "For a short and strong striker like you, I can give you face by making a fake move, but if I'm not in a good mood, what can I do if I just pull you out?" After being scored a goal, Weatherspoon felt a little disgraceful, so he wanted to get it back on the offensive end. With amazing brute strength, he dribbled with his back and pushed Wang Dalin to the three-second zone. He turned around and tried to force a layup, but was blocked by Wang Dalin with a hot pot shot. Because the physical confrontation was so intense, Wang Dalin almost didn't jump up, but even so, he still completed the block. This is a "standing hat"! In the original time and space, the only ones who could carry forward the unique skill of "Standing Hat" were Deng Dadai and Uncle Mu! There is no other but long hands! House quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball directly to Wang Dalin who followed. With this ball, Wang Dalin saw that the opponent's defense was not in position yet, so he opened his hand at the top of the arc outside the three-point line and hit a chasing three-pointer, and the basketball hit again. Next, it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack. Weatherspoon was unconvinced and attacked the basket again. This time Wang Dalin failed to give him another hot pot, but Weatherspoon's shot ended in a blacksmith despite the confrontation. Wang Dalin collected the rebound and made a long pass to the fast-moving House. After receiving the ball, House jumped high and made a one-handed dunk. "Beep" This time it was the Cavaliers' turn to be stopped. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 12 Finally signed the contract You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After returning from the timeout, the Cavaliers played even tougher, but the Heat also replaced Dan Marley, Eddie Jones and Anthony Mason, plus Wang Dalin and Eddie House, it was definitely the Heat. The team has the strongest offensive lineup in this summer league. Wang Dalin directly moved to the center position, and the Heat's interior defense intensity dropped significantly. After all, Grant, who has stronger defensive ability, did not appear on the court. But compared to Grant, Wang Dalin's mid-range shooting ability is obviously better, and he has a certain degree of deterrence even from outside the three-point line, which makes the Cavaliers' defense a bit difficult to handle. In this era where the center is king, most people have not realized the importance of "offensive space", so they look down on players like Nowitzki who rely on mid-range and long-range shots to get around the league. In the original time and space, it was not until O'Neal led the team to win the championship in 2001 that the NBA finally legalized zone defense and introduced the "three seconds of defense" rule. "Defending for three seconds" is a unique rule of the NBA. Specifically, when a defensive player stands in the three-second zone to defend, if the referee determines that he does not have a specific defensive target, the defensive player cannot stay in the three-second zone for more than three seconds. seconds, otherwise it will be called a "defensive three-second violation", and the offensive team will get the right to "one penalty and one throw". It can be said that precisely because of the legalization of zone defense and the "three seconds of defense" rule, the living space of inside giants like O'Neal has become increasingly narrow, and the NBA's super centers have gradually disappeared. Since the introduction of these rules, the coaching staff of each team has begun to pay more and more attention to "offensive space". Players without mid-to-long-range shooting ability have become less and less popular, while "3D players" who focus on defense and three-pointers have begun to skyrocket in value. . For example, Sean Battier of the Rockets back then, a high-quality "3D" like him could easily get an annual salary of more than 10 million in the small ball era, and even 15 million is no exaggeration. Therefore, Wang Dalin raised his high-post support position from the top of the free throw line to the top of the three-point arc, which is quite similar to Nikola Jokic, the "Essence of Human Pork Belly" in later generations. Where have the Cavaliers coaches and players seen this kind of play that transcends the times? The ensuing game turned into a one-sided massacre. 108:90, the Miami Heat finally defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers. Five players from the Heat scored in double figures, including Jones with 24 points, Wang Dalin with 21 points, Grant with 15 points, Mason with 14 points, Marley with 12 points and House with 11 points. Wang Dalin also got 9 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal, almost getting another triple-double. Having won two games in a row, everyone on the team is very happy, and Wang Dalin has performed outstandingly one after another, and Spoelstra is in a good mood. He was so happy not just because of these, but because Wang Dalin¡¯s high-position support in this game allowed him to see more possibilities in basketball. In this era, all NBA teams are flocking to super centers. After all, in this era, everyone believes that without super centers, they cannot win the championship! Looking at NBA history, apart from the Bulls, which championship team does not have a super center? George Mikan, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, Robert Parish, Bill Walton, Hakeem Olajuwon , O'Neal How many championships have the teams of these super centers won in total? How can a team without a super center compete against a team with a super center? The Bulls Dynasty allowed everyone to discover the model for defeating a super center team, which is the combination of a super outside scorer + a small forward with both offense and defense + a powerful defensive power forward. But Spoelstra saw another possibility, that is, a big player with three-point ability would go to the top of the three-point arc to provide support. As long as the other players on the team have a certain ability to move without the ball, plus above-average mid- and long-range shooting what can the opponent's super center do? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In the next three preliminaries, Spoelstra began to experiment in the game. Wang Dalin frequently provided high support at the top of the three-point arc. This tactic immediately had a miraculous effect. The Heat won consecutive games and finally ended the preliminaries with a victory in five games. In the semifinals, the Heat faced a strong blocker from the host Magic. The whole team worked together and finally won 97:93. The opponent in the finals is the Milwaukee Bucks. Facing this team led by Tim Thomas, Lynch Hunter and "Streetball King" Alston?Hold the ball under the basket and jump against the board (10 times per group). Reward: Jumping ability increased by 3 points! " "Task 3: Complete 1,000 sets of 84kg bench press (10 times per set) in total during training. Reward: Strength increase by 3 points!" "Task 4: Complete a total of 5,000 times and 34 round-trip runs during training. Reward: Increase speed by 1 point, increase acceleration ability by 1 point, and increase physical strength by 1 point!" "Task 5: Complete a total of 1,000 sets of three-point shots during training (each set has five points and five goals, a total of 25 goals). Reward: Improve three-point shooting ability by 3 points!" Originally, after he completed the second stage of the task, he received a lot of rewardssteals plus 2, blocks plus 2, offensive rebounds plus 2, and defensive rebounds plus 3. If he can also complete the task of "hitting at least 1 three-pointer in every game", his comprehensive ability value will definitely rise to 74. This wave of tasks all increase ability points. If all are completed, it is estimated that the overall ability will be directly increased to 75! ???????????????? However, these trainings are very heavy, and you will definitely be exhausted if you want to complete them. Wang Dalin is not afraid, isn¡¯t he just taking measures? Who is afraid of who? So, every day he spent time in the gym "self-abuse". This kind of basic training is very boring. When the sweat soaks the whole body again and again, and when the body is exhausted again and again, Wang Dalin always rests for a while and then gets up to continue, completely forgetting the idea of ??giving up countless times before No pain No gain! Even if you have the "ratio system", if you want to become an excellent basketball player, you still have to go through this hard process. And when the team gathered in September, a brand-new Wang Dalin appeared in front of everyone (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 13 The only way for a newbie You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Many Chinese fans¡¯ impressions of the Heat are probably from the ¡°Big Three¡± period from 2011 to 2014. Fans who were earlier may still remember that Wade's performance in the 2006 Finals was nothing short of "god-like". After losing the first two games 0:2, he led the Heat to win 4 consecutive games and win the championship, averaging 34.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. In fact, the Heat have been a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference as early as the 1990s and have never missed the playoffs since 1995. The Heat joined the NBA when the NBA expanded in 1988. They also entered the NBA with the Orlando Magic, Minnesota Timberwolves and Charlotte Hornets (today's New Orleans Pelicans). The Heat were assigned to the Midwest Division. In the first few years, the Heat's performance was mediocre. Except for reaching the playoffs once in 1992, they were always in the lottery zone. It was not until the 1995-1996 season that "magic fortune teller" Pat Riley became the Heat. head coach. Pat Riley traded for "the soul of the team" Alonzo Mourning, as well as the "Beatle" Tim Hardaway, Chris Gatlin, Walter Williams, Tai Len Corbin and Tony Smith, the entire Heat was turned upside down by him. By the end of the regular season, the only player on the team who was from last season was Ken Askins. Pat Riley instilled a "defense first" philosophy into the Heat, making them one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. In the 1995-1996 season, Pat Riley made it to the playoffs in his first season as coach of the Heat, but unfortunately lost in the first round against the Bulls, who had 72 wins in the season. In the 1996-1997 season, the Heat achieved an impressive record of 61 wins and 21 losses in the regular season and entered the playoffs with the first place in the Atlantic Division. They eliminated the Magic in the first round and then defeated the New York Knicks. However, the Heat still lost to the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Heat's biggest "enemy" in the NBA is the New York Knicks. This is not just because Riley once coached New York. In the 1997-1998 season, the two teams fought fiercely in the playoffs. In the end, Mourning and Larry -Johnson fought hard, and Van Gundy was also injured because of his dissuasion. In the following seasons, the Heat entered the playoffs, but the team never made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. After the 1999-2000 season, Mourning was diagnosed with severe kidney disease and had to leave the game. In addition, the team's second leader Hardaway began to decline, and the Heat also began to go downhill. In the 2000-2001 season, Pat Riley sent Jamal Mashburn, P.J. Brown, Tim James, Rodney Buford and Otis Thorpe through a trade in exchange for the Hornets. Anthony Mason, Eddie Jones, Ricky Davis and Dale Ellis (who was directly laid off) also signed the inside giant Brian Grant for 4 years and 42 million US dollars. The strength of the team Finally it was maintained. Of course, a few years later, one of the things Pat Riley was most proud of was that he listened to Spoelstra's advice during the offseason and signed Wang Dalin, an 18-year-old Chinese young man. If he had not adopted Spoelstra¡¯s advice at that time, he might have regretted it for the rest of his life! September 10, 2000, team assembly day. Wang Dalin came to the team training hall early in the morning. Seeing that there was no one in the gym, he couldn't help but smile proudly. In this training hall, he has been fighting day and night for more than fifty days. During this period, he was dribbling, bench pressing, running back and forth, jumping off the backboard, shooting again and again, day after day, boring training. Without the reward stimulation after completing the task, God knows whether he could persevere. Fortunately, he persisted and completed all training tasks. At this time, Wang Dalin¡¯s personal abilities have undergone earth-shaking changes compared to when he became an undrafted pick in mid-June: "66 close-range shots, 61 cut layups, 58 cut dunks, 55 in-place dunks, 43 post-up hook shots, 37 post-up fadeaway jumpers, 79 mid-range shots, 69 three-pointers, 74 free throws, 33 post-up moves, and passes. Ball accuracy 69, passing vision 62, ball control 58, dribbling speed 68, receiving ability 73, inside defense 60, outside defense 42, steals 48, blocks 73, shot interference 70, offensive rebounds 47, defensive rebounds 58, Lateral agility 66, speed 72, acceleration 71, strength 56, jumping 73, and physical strength 61.¡± "Comprehensive durability 99" "Potential value: 99" "Equipment skill: One leaf blinds the eyes (level A)" "Comprehensive ability value: 76" Except for back-up offense and outside defense, all other abilities have improved to varying degrees. In 2000, a small draft year in the draft, he even dared to say that he was the first among rookies!   Yes, Wang Dalin does have this confidence at this time! Although "No. 1 pick" Kenyon Martin averaged 12 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game in his rookie season, he averaged 33.4 minutes per game, shot only 44.5% from the field and 63% from the free throw line. Is this the offensive efficiency? Although it cannot be said that Martin is the "parallel import No. 1 pick", among the previous No. 1 picks in the NBA, this kind of performance can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches. Wang Dalin believes that if he can average 25 minutes per game with the Heat this season, he will definitely be able to perform as well as the "number one pick". If nothing else, at least he doesn¡¯t think his average assists per game is just 1.9, right? Wang Dalin ran a few laps, did some warm-up exercises to stretch his limbs, and then took the ball and shot the basket. As soon as he finished shooting a set of 25 fixed-point three-pointers, he saw two people walking in from the door of the arena, namely Anthony Mason and Brian Grant. "Hi, boy, you came quite early!" Grant just greeted him with a smile, and immediately showed a look of surprise, "Heyhow did your boy become so strong?" Mason was also surprised: "Wow did your kid take hormones?" Wang Dalin has been training hard during this period, and his figure has naturally changed to some extent, especially his arms are obviously thicker and his chest muscles have also bulged a lot. When he first traveled through time, he weighed only 100kg, and with his height of 211cm, he was really a bit skinny. Now his weight is 103kg. Although he has only gained 3kg, after excluding the lost fat, he has gained at least 6 or 7kg of muscle inside and out. His body does look a lot stronger. Wang Dalin hurriedly collected the ball and came over to say hello to the two "old seniors". They had played side by side in the summer league and they had a really good relationship. The three of them immediately chatted about their experiences after breaking up while shooting baskets. Mason took his wife and children on a trip to Europe, while Grant bought a farm on the outskirts of his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, where he rode horses, fished, and had BBQ every day, living a leisurely life. Hearing that Wang Dalin spends time in the training gym every day, Mason smiled and said, "No wonder you have become so strong!" Grant also nodded and said: "Young people should be like this, lazy guys can't play in the NBA!" It was close to 9 a.m., and the players came to the arena one by one, took the ball and started practicing casually. Jones, Brown, Green, House and others who had met in the summer league before were all here. Wang Dalin also saw a very familiar person-Bruce Bowen! That¡¯s right, this guy played for the Heat for two seasons before going to the Spurs, and he is currently in his second season with the Heat. A few minutes later, when Mourning and Hardaway walked into the arena, everyone stopped and stepped forward to say hello to these two. Although both of them are not as good as before due to injuries, they are still the leaders of this Heat team! After a while, the coaches also arrived. Spoelstra was obviously stunned when he saw Wang Dalin, and then he whispered to Pat Riley. "Okay, everyone, come and gather!" With Spoelstra¡¯s order, all the players hurried over and stood in a row, like a queue in the army. Pat Riley¡¯s team is very disciplined, which is something you can¡¯t see in other NBA teams. Most of the players have gone through several months of offseason, and their condition is naturally not good, so today's training is basically focused on recovering their bodies. Everyone first ran laps, followed by several groups of round-trip running and leap frog. class and did not conduct ball training. More than 2 hours of training passed quickly. Riley gathered everyone and announced that today's training was over and the next training would start at 2 pm the next day. Everyone packed up and prepared to leave. Wang Dalin also packed up briefly and was about to leave. Suddenly a deep voice said: "Hey, rookie, it seems you forgot, you still have an important thing to do!" It was Moning who spoke, and everyone gathered around, with inexplicable smiles on their faces. Grant reminded kindly: "Wang, what Alonzo means is we are all a little hungry for breakfast today, and we all want to try the donuts from Old Locke's!" "That's right!" Hardaway smiled, "And Eddie and Ernest, I want to leave the task of buying donuts to you three rookies. Can you meet this request of us old guys?" Wang Dalin hurriedly nodded in agreement, but cursed in his heart: "I knew it I've heard that rookies in the NBA will be bullied by veteran players, and it's true!" Eddie House and Ernest Brown also quickly nodded in agreement. The three of them walked out of the arena together, and House asked: "Who is Old Locke?" Brown shook his head and said he didn't know, but Wang Dalin smiled and said: "I know, come with me!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The two of them quickly nodded in agreement. The three of them walked out of the arena together, and House asked: "Who is Old Locke?" Brown shook his head and said he didn't know, but Wang Dalin smiled and said: "I know, you come with me!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 14 Iron-Blooded Heat You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Wang Dalin has been living in Miami for more than three months. He may not know about other places, but he is very familiar with the area near the Heat training facility. The "Old Locke" fast food restaurant Grant mentioned is in this neighborhood. It's not too far from the arena. It only takes about 15 minutes to walk. The donuts at Old Locke¡¯s are $1.50 each, which is 50 cents more expensive than most street fast food restaurants. Wang Dalin thinks it is indeed more delicious. No wonder Heat veterans like Mourning and Hardaway want to buy his product. Taking a big bite of the donut in his hand, Moning patted Wang Dalin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Rookie, good job!" Wang Dalin smiled but cursed in his heart: "Old man, eating something so sweet is not good for your kidneys" In fact, it is true that old players bully rookies in NBA teams, but they are only a minority. In most cases, these are just friendly jokes. Old players do not have to carry a bag or buy donuts for rookies. It is just that the team culture has been formed over the years. Old players will naturally enjoy certain privileges, and everyone has inherited it with a tacit understanding. It is said that when LeBron James first joined the Cavaliers, he carried a bag for Ricky Davis and was even ordered to buy donuts a few blocks away During the training on the second day, Wang Dalin discovered that the reason why veteran players were able to enjoy these privileges was not for no reason! Wang Dalin was really shocked when he saw Hardaway, Mason, Green, Marley, and Coswell, all old men in their thirties sweating from practice. I have heard that Riley likes to do "devil's special training" the most. Unexpectedly, he would do this on the second day of training. Wang Dalin had experienced it firsthand. With this amount of training, not to mention veterans in their thirties, even young people like House and Brown have been trained to death. Wang Dalin originally thought that he would not be able to get much playing time in his rookie season. The physical strength of 61 would definitely be enough. How could he have expected this situation? Of course, the playing time will be very little. This physical strength is certainly enough on the competition field, but what about the training field? "Damn it! It seems that the points added before were a bit hasty!" After completing the fourth phase of tasks, the system¡¯s fifth phase of tasks has naturally been released, but none of these tasks were completed during training: "Task 1: Play in the NBA preseason, reward: 500 points!" "Task 2: Get 5 points or 5 rebounds or 5 assists in a single game in the NBA preseason, reward: 500 points!" "Task 3: Provide 1 block or 1 steal in a single game in the NBA preseason, reward: 500 points!" "Task 4: Score a 'double-double' in a single game in the NBA preseason. Reward: 2,000 points!" "Task 5: Play in the NBA regular season, reward: The host can specify any ability value to increase by 5 points!" Except for the last item, it was all about the preseason, and Wang Dalin was speechless. Those who have obviously entered the Heat's regular season roster include Tim Hardaway, Eddie Jones, Brian Grant, Anthony Mason, AC Green, Dan Marley, Bruce Bowen, and Anthony Carter. , Ricky Davis, Eddie House and Duane Causwell, the others' contracts are non-guaranteed (Mourning is due to injury). The maximum number of players on a team's roster is 15. Those who have not yet been confirmed to be on the roster include Ernest Brown, Jamal Robinson, Todd Fowler, Don Macron and Wang Dalin. He has to follow these players. Several are vying for the few regular season spots. Of course, his main opponent is Don Macron. After all, this is a power forward with a height of 208cm, the same position as Wang Dalin currently. As for Brown, his fate has long been determined and he should be sent to the Development League before the start of the regular season. No way, he can't compete with Todd Fowler as a meat shield center, who has played in the NBA for 4 seasons. Todd Fowler was the 11th pick in the first round of 1996, and his draft pick that year was higher than the "Black Mamba". Although this guy has never been able to achieve anything in the past four seasons, he is still a lottery pick. Naturally, the Heat want to bet on whether he still has talents that have not yet been realized. And among the people who are definitely selected for the big list, there is already Duane Causwell, a 213cm tall center. Green and Grant can also take up the center position at any time. How can there be Brown's position? The afternoon training was finally over. Wang Dalin was as tired as a dead dog?Of course everyone else on the Heat team is similar to him. Fortunately, Wang Dalin was quite happy to be able to eat nutritious meals provided by the team after the training camp started. But when he eats it, he wants to curse his mother. Isn¡¯t this too unpalatable? Wang Dalin dared to bet on his handsome face that he had never eaten such unpalatable chicken in his life or in his previous life! Cook it directly in water, add some saltis this even called chicken? Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t know yet that when Wang Zhizhi was interviewed by domestic reporters after landing in the NBA next year, he didn¡¯t even mention the serious discrimination against Chinese people in Dallas. Instead, he complained about this famous ¡°nutritional meal¡±! Before the start of the new season, the general training session of NBA teams is one training session every day. The Heat were like this at the beginning, but after a week it was upgraded to two training sessions a day, with physical training in the morning and ball training and team practice games in the afternoon. As the training camp goes by day by day, everyone¡¯s tacit understanding is getting higher and higher, but every day is exhausting and life-and-death Pat Riley¡¯s ¡°devil training¡± is indeed well-deserved! In team confrontations, whenever Wang Dalin actively fights on the court, he will always feel the "enthusiastic" pinching of the waist, the back of the elbow or the top of the knee by his teammates. The Chinese have been paying attention to "courtesy and reciprocity" since ancient times. Every time Wang Dalin returns these actions, the expressions on the faces of his teammates always reveal a bit of pain andenjoyment? Look to the sky! What kind of beasts are these? Thinking of elbow strikes as "caresses" Is this the legendary Iron Blood? Wang Dalin feels that if the pre-season training camp is extended for another month, it is estimated that the Heat will suffer "non-combat attrition" It can be said that Pat Riley is definitely one of the famous coaches in NBA history. The Lakers he led back then launched the world's best offensive frenzy, which was euphemistically called "show-time"! During the "show-time" period, the Lakers lived up to expectations and won the NBA championship four times in 1982, 1985, 1987 and 1988. When everyone was full of praise for Riley's coaching achievements, he also told reporters the secret of his success, which is "devil training." When the team loses, the team will conduct punitive "devil training" When the team's next round of regular season is very important, the team will conduct targeted "devil training" When every game in the playoffs must be fought, the team will naturally engage in "devil training" I am afraid that only he himself thinks that "devil training" is his magic weapon to win. In fact, many NBA players are unwilling to play on Riley's team, including "Magic" Johnson, "Cobra" Worthy, "Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, etc They are so tired! ¡°Hmm¡­Wang Dalin believes that if Riley were not so persistent in ¡°devil training¡±, the Lakers team he led could at least win one or two more championships! In the "devil training" day after day, the Heat finally ended the training camp before the new season, and the preseason will begin on October 8. The Heat¡¯s opponents in this year¡¯s preseason are the Boston Celtics, Washington Wizards, and Charlotte Hornets. The three teams will play a total of 6 games at home and away. On October 8, the Heat ushered in their first preseason opponent, the Celtics. The day before the game, Wang Dalin learned from Spoelstra that he had been included in the game roster and would probably get about 10 minutes of playing time. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 15 Take action when it¡¯s time to take action You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! NBA giants have several teams. In 2000, everyone remembered the green Celtics, the purple and gold Lakers, the red Bulls and a group of teams with poor records over the years. Only New Yorkers would consider themselves a giant. The Knicks. If you want to become a giant, you must have good records, such as the Bulls' two three consecutive championships, the Lakers' 10 championships The most impressive one has to be the Boston Celtics. This team has a total of Won 16 championships! Jordan once pretended to be cool in front of the camera. At that time, he wore a championship ring on each finger of his left hand and the remaining one on his right hand Although he just pointed at the rings and talked about each championship match. His significance, but this scene is really enviable and jealous for most NBA players. But there is someone who is more envied and hated than Jordan, and that is the legendary superstar Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics. This old man has won a total of 11 championship rings in his career, and he can't even wear them on both hands! This is the Boston Celtics, a team with the longest history in the NBA and the most glorious history in the NBA! However, the Celtics were not a strong team at this time in 2000. They have never won a championship since 1986, and starting from the 1995-96 season, the Celtics have never been able to break into the NBA. Playoffs. In 1997, the famous NCAA coach Rick Pitino took over the Celtics. He not only served as the team's head coach, but also the team's general manager, executive president and chairman. At that time, he promised the team and fans that he would work harder than "Cardinal" Auerbach to bring the Celtics back to championship level. But three seasons later, the Celtics have not even made it to the playoffs, let alone the championship. The fans can no longer stand his inaction and have demanded that he be replaced. In the 1999-2000 season, they ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference with 35 wins and 47 losses in the regular season. Although Coach Pitino once led the University of Kentucky to win the NCAA championship, and also led the Knicks, a weak team, to successfully get out of the quagmire and enter the playoffs, fans only care about your current results as a team leader. So for Coach Pitino, even in the preseason, he needs to lead the team to good results, otherwise the angry Boston fans may make some big noise for him. Last season, there would often be a large number of fanatical fans surrounding his home. They were not noisy or making any noise, but they would hold signs with big letters in their hands - "Coach Pitino, please leave! We don't trust you." !¡± This is the result of being visited by the police many times. At first, the sign they held was - "Pitino, get out of Boston!" On October 8, when Pitino brought his players to the "American Airlines Center" arena, he couldn't help but feel extremely melancholy. "Oh, it's useless to think so much. This game must be won!" Pitino patted his cheeks with both hands and murmured, "Alonzo can't play today, Tim is already old, the Heat His strength is not strong!" Although the Heat traded Eddie Jones, Anthony Mason and Brian Grant this year, it is generally believed that apart from Jones, who is considered a top player, Mason and Grant can only be regarded as relatively good role players. After all, Mason only averaged 11.6 points, 8.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists last season, and Grant only averaged 7.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1 assist. His performance was not very good. How could Pitino imagine that the upcoming 2000-2001 season would be the peak of these two veterans' entire careers? This season, Mason averaged 16.1 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. Grant also averaged 15.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. He was a major contributor to the Heat's entry into the playoffs as third in the Eastern Conference. He could not have imagined that in addition to these outstanding veterans, the Heat also added a person who had never appeared in NBA history the original NBA history! The new NBA history will start from this day to write Wang Dalin¡¯s legendary basketball career Wang Dalin¡¯s jersey number is No. 8. He originally wanted to choose No. 7 because Durant was No. 7 in the Nets. Unexpectedly, this number has been chosen by Don Macron. Unable to choose No. 7, he wanted to choose No. 35. After all, Durant wore this number throughout his peak period, but he did not expect that No. 35 was also chosen by Todd Fowler. There was no way, he could only comfort himself in his heart: "No. 8 is not bad, this is the early jersey number of the 'Black Mamba'! And doesn't 3 plus 5 equal 8? At least it has something to do with Durant ¡­Bar?" At the beginning of the game, the Celtics¡¯ starting lineup was point guard Kenny Anderson, shooting guard Bryant Stich, and small forward PaulPierce, power forward Antoine Walker and center Mark Blount. The starting lineup for the Heat is point guard Tim Hardaway, shooting guard Eddie Jones, small forward Anthony Mason, power forward Brian Grant and center A.C. Green. Mourning's absence has indeed had a great impact on the Heat's inside line. They no longer have one of the top three super centers in the league. Compared to Causwell and Fowler, Riley is obviously more willing to trust Green, who has just turned 37. Birthday veteran. As soon as the game started, the Celtics took the lead. Pierce and Walker showed off their power at the same time. The two succeeded in consecutive attacks. The Heat were caught off guard, and the score quickly reached 17:9. Then the "Magic Calculator" made adjustments, replacing the aging Green and replacing him with Bruce Bowen, the best outside defender, to guard Pierce. He also arranged for Mason to follow Walker closely at all times, and Grant moved to the center position. This series of adjustments has had a certain effect, but Bowen's defensive effect against Pierce was not good. He is 201cm tall, but weighs only 91kg. Compared with the strong Pierce, his strength is far behind. Although Bowen defends very hard, how can he defend against "Truth" who has reached the peak of his career? Bowen during the Heat era has not yet evolved into the perimeter defender who was selected to the All-Defensive Team for 8 consecutive years during the Spurs era. At this time, he can only be regarded as a relatively good perimeter defender. "One more thing, even Bowen during the Spurs era couldn't do anything against Pierce. After all, his physical condition was too poor. Riley couldn¡¯t help but frowned. He was a little helpless about Pierce¡¯s sudden explosion in this game. In the team¡¯s first rotation, Hardaway, Grant and Mason took a rest and were replaced by Carter, Causwell and Marley. Jones must have finished the first quarter. The first quarter of the game ended quickly, with the Heat trailing by 8 points at 22:30. The opponent Pierce scored 13 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter. Walker also scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. After the start of the second quarter, Jones took a rest and Davis replaced him. The team's offense still couldn't open up, and the defense was not very strong either. The opponent's second team made consecutive attacks. Seeing that the point difference had reached 13 points, Riley had to change into the main lineup in advance. The two sides played very fiercely in the second half of the second quarter. With the strong offense of Jones and Mason, the Heat gradually closed the score and fell behind by 7 points 49:56 at the end of the half. After the start of the second half, Walker and Pierce continued to show off their power, but the Heat suddenly misfired. At first, Jones missed a three-pointer, then Mason's attack under the basket was slapped away by the opponent's Ukrainian substitute center Vitaliy Potapenko, and then Davis' mid-range shot was also hit The Celtics seized the opportunity to launch a 12-0 spurt in these three minutes. The score was already 74:55, and the Heat fell behind by 19 points. Spoelstra whispered a few words next to Riley. After hearing this, the "divine fortune teller" thought for a moment, then clapped the tactical board in his hand and shouted: "King, come on!" ?The Heat then took a timeout, Bowen came off, and Wang Dalin came on. There are currently about 4 and a half minutes left in the third quarter, and the Heat are 19 points behind. Wang Dalin is facing such a difficult situation for the first time in the NBA, which is really unlucky. But Wang Dalin thinks this is his chance. After all, the team is lagging behind by a big score. If they lose, don¡¯t blame him. If they win, the benefits will be considerable. As the saying goes, "take action when it's time to take action." When Wang Dalin came to the court, he felt extremely excited. He was already eager to try (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 16 Countering "Fat Toutuo" You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Wang Dalin's position on the field is power forward. After all, he is the tallest among the players on the Heat team. He is not allowed to play center. The main reason is that Riley feels that his figure is still a bit thin and he is afraid that he will not be able to withstand the opponent's wave. Tapenko, the strong Ukrainian man. Since he is playing power forward, the player he plays against is naturally "Fat Tou Tuo" Antoine Walker. As a senior fan, Wang Dalin is naturally very familiar with Walker. Speaking of Antoine Walker, he was considered a very good figure during the Celtics. He was selected to the All-Star three times. In his peak period, he averaged 22 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists per game, creating the "organization" The first of "power forward". Walker¡¯s offensive skills are very comprehensive and his passing vision is wide, but his defense is an absolute weakness. ¡°And Wang Dalin knew that during this period, Walker was very obsessed with shooting three-pointers, often making excessive shots in games, and his shooting percentage was relatively dismal. Wang Dalin ran around Grant's screen and received the ball. Walker, who was following the defense, was blocked by Grant. Wang Dalin was not polite when faced with such a wide open opportunity, he just shot with open hands. "Whoops!" This goal was scored cleanly. There was a burst of jubilation on the bench of the Heat. The team had made many consecutive attacks to no avail. Although Wang Dalin's goal only scored 2 points, the boost to the team's morale was far more than just 2 points. This means that the team¡¯s offensive firepower has finally been restored! Looking back, Walker was obviously ashamed of being hit by a rookie named Wang Dalin, and decided to regain his face on the offensive end. He took a few tentative steps with the ball outside the three-point line, and then made a pull-up three-point shot. Wang Dalin jumped forward as hard as he could, stretched out his long arm, and made a move of "blinding one's eyes". Not surprisingly, the ball clicked and Grant picked off the backboard. Wang Dalin¡¯s defense was meticulous just now, with almost no flaws exposed, but why does Walker care about this? When "Fat Toutuo" wants to shoot a three-pointer, who can stop him? The Heat launched a fast break. Jones made several dribble changes in front of his body and finally broke through Pierce. He was interfered by Potapenko during the layup and then hit the iron. Mason struggled to grab the offensive rebound. Seeing the opponent's tight defense at the basket, he thought of passing the ball to the outside before restarting the attack. As soon as he turned around, he saw Wang Dalin at the top of the three-point arc. "Good shot! Well played!" Seeing Wang Dalin's open three-pointer, Riley couldn't help but stood up and roared excitedly, and there was another burst of joy on the Heat bench. ¡°This ball was passed wonderfully!¡± "You shot very well too!" Wang Dalin and Mason took the opportunity of high-fiving to compliment each other. Wang Dalin scored five points in less than half a minute after playing. Naturally, Walker wanted to play an answer-ball, but a rookie scored two goals in a row. He felt that his teammates looked at him with a bit of ridicule. On this shot, Walker did not make a three-pointer, but relied on Wang Dalin on the wing and pushed towards the basket with his back. Although Wang Dalin's strength is 56, it is still far behind this "Fat Toutuo", and even with all his strength, he cannot stop his strong advance. Walker advanced to the three-second zone and immediately turned around and shot a jumper. Grant wanted to come over to cover and was out of reach. He could only hope that Wang Dalin could provide enough interference to the opponent. Wang Dalin¡¯s attack was a bit slow, but his long arms came in handy. Although he couldn¡¯t block the shot, he still managed to ¡°block the eye¡±¡ªit was still ¡°a blinding leaf¡±! Walker was shocked as he missed the ball again. Jones grabbed the defensive rebound and quickly advanced, then passed the ball to Mason, who was running fast on the other side. Mason rushed to the basket and made a one-handed dunk. "Pat, how about it?" Spoelstra said with a happy smile, "I just said this kid can do it, right?" Riley couldn¡¯t help but smile and said, ¡°It¡¯s really good!¡± Spoelstra couldn¡¯t help curling his lips after hearing this, but he also knew that Pat Riley had always had strict requirements on players, so it was already quite good to be able to evaluate Wang Dalin. Although this goal was completed by Mason for a dunk, Wang Dalin scored 5 points in a row and made two defensive successes after coming on the court. His performance was indeed quite eye-catching. "What the hell! Give me the ball!" Walker is already furious. He has been going smoothly since he entered the NBA. No rookie has ever dared to be so arrogant in front of him. In his opinion, he must return this ball.Just the one who feels the best! " This statement is not crude. In most cases, this is what the so-called assist masters do. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? How come Hardaway averaged 8 assists per game last season? Why don't you take the chance and feed Mourning the ball? Of course, Wang Dalin could only "spit cake" on this ball. He did not dare to make a pull-up jumper immediately after catching the ball. No matter how bad "Fat Toutuo"'s defense was, he would not be able to interfere with him. After hesitating for a moment with the ball, Wang Dalin started to hit him with his back. Walker used his fat body to push behind him. Wang Dalin tried hard to push it a few times but he couldn't push it at all! "Alas, my strength and back attack are still not enough!" Wang Dalin was startled when he turned around and saw the opponent's point guard Kenny Anderson rushing over to grab the ball. Wang Dalin hurriedly collected the ball and raised it high, finally avoiding the steal. Walker also immediately confronted, hoping to take this opportunity to force Wang Dalin to make a mistake. Many rookies will make mistakes on the court due to deformation of movements due to nervousness. Wang Dalin has been forced to stop the ball and is about to make a mistake. But how can Wang Dalin be an ordinary rookie? In his eyes, "Fat Toutuo" is a representative figure of poor defense. What is there to be afraid of with his pressing? I¡¯m afraid this is the psychological advantage that time travelers have when facing NBA stars, right? If it was Duncan or Garnett who was guarding him at this time, he would probably have panicked As early as when he turned his head, he saw Hardaway in the open position out of the corner of his eye, and passed the ball with a flick of his wrist. Hardaway took a three-pointer without hesitation and hit the ball. 78:67, 11 points left! The next attack is particularly important for the Celtics. It¡¯s good to score. If you can¡¯t score again, the Heat will have a chance to reduce the score to single digits. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 17 Still defeated You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Anderson slowly dribbled the ball across half court and then passed the ball to Pierce on the wing. During this period, the Celtics' offensive routine was actually very simple, including Walker's isolation, Pierce's isolation and Walker's high-post support. The team relied a little too much on this All-Star forward combination. It¡¯s no wonder. With two super forwards who can average more than 20 points per game, who else can you rely on if you don¡¯t rely on them? Anderson? At his peak, he was selected as an All-Star, but now he is old. This time Pierce was still a turnaround and fadeaway jumper. This shot was impeccable in terms of both the fadeaway angle and the release movement, but the ball didn't go in Even the peak "Truth" couldn't score every ball! Wang Dalin quickly launched a fast break after grabbing the rebound. This long pass accurately connected with the fast-moving Hardaway. At this moment, the "Beatles" seemed to be back to their peak. The speed was astonishing and they directly hit the layup. Hardaway is old, but it is still very exciting to run like this occasionally I don't know if it stimulates Riley or Pitino. "Pat, Tim ran a little too fast this time!" Spoelstra reminded in Riley's ear, "We still have to let him control it a little bit. It would be bad if his old knee injury relapses." !¡± "Yeah!" Riley responded without comment. With 34 seconds left in the third quarter, both sides still have a chance to attack. Walker came to the top of the key to provide support in the high post. This is his best way of playing "Organizing power forward" is his unique label. Pierce received the ball after bypassing the screen. Before Wang Dalin's defense was in place, he directly pulled up and shot, and the ball went in. 80:69! In the Heat¡¯s final attack of the third quarter, Wang Dalin also came to the top of the arc to provide support from a high position, just like Walker just now. Who is not a "organizational power forward"? Wang Dalin took advantage of Grant's screen and moved closer to the three-second zone, but was defended by Potapenko. Walker behind him bypassed the screen and came over to double-team him. For a moment, Wang Dalin "became the man". Grant sneaked towards the basket and Pierce hurriedly ran inside to cover up the defense. Unexpectedly, Wang Dalin passed the ball to Jones with a flick of his wrist. It was Pierce who was defending Jones just now. There was no one three meters in front of Jones at this moment. How could Jones be so polite after catching the ball? "Whoosh", Jones successfully hit the mid-range shot close to the three-point line, and the point difference was finally caught up to single digits. 80:71, the Heat ended the third quarter trailing by 9 points. Wang Dalin played 4 minutes and 30 seconds in the third quarter, scoring 9 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, performing like an All-Star. "Hmph, you get 500 points for scoring 5 points or 5 rebounds or 5 assists? Who are you looking down on? Only children make choices. As an adult I want them all!" After reaching the bench and taking a few sips of Gatorade, Wang Dalin finally felt like he could take a breath. Although he had only played for a few minutes, his physical exertion was not small at all. "Fat Toutuo" is indeed a poor defender, but his body is also quite strong The physical confrontation between Wang Dalin and him was very fierce, and overall he was still at a disadvantage. "The strength is still a bit weak!" Wang Dalin cruelly increased the strength of the 1500 points reward he just received and the 100 points originally in stock. In this way, his power reached 62. Although he is still relatively weak as an inside player, it will make his situation slightly better when he fights against "Fat Tou Tuo" next. Based on his performance in these few minutes, Wang Dalin believes that Riley will definitely let him play in the fourth quarter, if Riley's brain is not filled with water Sure enough, Wang Dalin continued to play at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and he was joined by Hardaway, Jones, Mason and Grant. "The Divine Calculator" can be regarded as giving everything he had, and did not let the two veterans Hardaway and Mason rest in the first half of the fourth quarter. Pitino also continued to send out the "twin stars" Pierce and Walker. Compared with Riley, he is the one who can't afford to lose. In this way, this preseason game was extremely rare and played with the intensity of the playoffs. In the fourth quarter, both sides fought fiercely, fighting for almost every ball. Under such high-intensity defense, the offensive efficiency of both sides was not high, and they could only score one goal every three attacks. Wang Dalin found that he was often closely defended by the opponent as soon as he got the ball, even from outside the three-point line. After all, his performance just now was extremely eye-catching, so Pitino naturally made targeted defensive arrangements. "heheMouth Wang Dalin himself is quite modest: "Actually, I didn't do anything It was all the veteran comrades in the team who taught me well" There is one thing to say, these days, if you really want to compete with the guys like the Heat in terms of iron-bloodedness or brutality, if you look at the entire NBA, you can¡¯t beat anyone! The old man also gave you Monen! Do you have the ability to inquire? Whose thigh was Jeff Van Gundy holding on to when he was dragged more than ten meters away? After the game, Riley praised Wang Dalin by name in the locker room, and said in front of all the players that Wang Dalin would be given more playing time in the next game. The next game is the night after tomorrow, and the opponent is still the Celtics, but at Boston's home court. Riley¡¯s habits have been mentioned before. Of course, when the Heat lose a game, they have to carry out "devil training" as usual. Riley announced on the spot that the team's training sessions would be increased to two tomorrow Hearing this "bad news", all the players present looked sad, as if their father had collectively died. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 18 The regular season is here You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Playing the Celtics away from home again, the Heat lost again. This loss was not due to the pressure put on them by the home fans at the Celtics' "North Shore Garden" arena, nor was it due to the incredible performance of the "Celtic twins" Pierce and Walker. It was mainly because The Heat didn't go all out. It¡¯s just a preseason game. The Heat ranked second in the Eastern Conference in the regular season last season. Why do they need to fight their opponents until they see red in the preseason? In the first game, the two veterans Hardaway and Mason played more than 35 minutes. They must be given more rest this time. The Heat have a lot of veterans this season. Hardaway is 34 years old, Mason is 34 years old, Marley is 35 years old, Green is 37 years old, Coswell is 32 years old, and there is also Mourning who is about to turn 31 years old Under Spoelstra¡¯s dissuasion, Riley decided to let the team¡¯s young players play as much as possible in the next few preseason games. One team¡¯s main players are doing their best to win, while the other team is adjusting the lineup and training new players. The results are self-evident. Although the team lost, Wang Dalin got 30 minutes of playing time and performed well. He scored 19 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists in this game, and also sent 2 blocks. However, his shooting rate was a bit low, making only 8 of 21 shots and 1 of 4 from beyond the three-point line. After the game, Wang Dalin completed another task and received a 2,000 point reward. This time he added 2 points to the ball control and 1 point to the mid-range shooting. In this way, the ball control finally reached 60, and the mid-range shooting finally reached 80. Because of his outstanding performance in two consecutive games, Wang Dalin got more than 30 minutes of playing time in each of the next four games. His performance in these games has been good. Throughout the preseason, he averaged 18.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 53.3% from the field and 40% from the three-point range. The reason why the data and efficiency are good is mainly because everyone plays preseason games for the same purpose as the Heat, mainly to run in the lineup and train new players. Who looks like a Celtic? Playing the preseason is like playing the playoffsthe irony is that they still can't make the playoffs this year! With such an outstanding performance in the preseason, Wang Dalin's weight in the hearts of members of the coaching staff such as Riley, Spoelstra and Askins has been greatly enhanced. On October 26, 2020, after negotiation with Wang Dalin, the Heat uniform staff finally converted his non-guaranteed contract into a fully guaranteed contract in advance. This result is actually a matter of course, but it is not entirely due to his performance in the preseason. The Heat's lineup this season, both in terms of starting lineup and bench depth, has declined slightly compared to last season. Riley hopes that Wang Dalin, a potential rookie, can strengthen the team's bench depth to a certain extent. Moreover, Eddie House also performed well in the preseason. Even though he did not appear in the first game, he played no less than 16 minutes in the next five games. He averaged 10.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, including He averaged more than one three-point field goal, with a shooting percentage of about 38%. The second-round pick also won the trust of the coaching staff with his performance. As for Ernest Brown, he was laid off as expected. In the preseason, he played in every game, and averaged about 15 minutes per game. As a result, he only scored 6 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in 6 games he was simply useless! With the end of the preseason, the 2000-2001 NBA regular season is finally about to begin Wednesday, November 1, 2000, the first day of the regular season opened with 13 games, including many fierce competition scenes and wonderful performances by the stars In the Lakers' 96:86 victory over the Trail Blazers, "Shark" O'Neal scored 36 points and 11 rebounds, which can only be regarded as a normal performance. Although the Suns lost to the Warriors 94:96, Jason Kidd scored a triple-double of 24 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, almost leading the team to victory. The SuperSonics also lost to the Grizzlies. Gary Payton also scored a triple-double of 27 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, joining Kidd in the scoring group. The Pistons' 104:95 victory over the Raptors was particularly exciting because the Pistons' Jerry Stackhouse scored 44 points and became the scoring leader on the first day of the regular season. In addition, Tracy McGrady, who has reached the peak of his career, also led the Magic to defeat the Wizards. The score was 97:86. T-mac scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists. I said before that Pierce is the number one small forward in the league, but I must say more here Kobe, Tracy McGrady and Carter are all shooting guards this season, and they have been shooting guards for most of their entire careers. On November 2, the Miami Heat finally ushered in the regular seasonThe first opponent, they will face the Orlando Magic at home! This season, the Magic just signed Tracy McGrady with a seven-year, $93 million max-salary contract, and traded Chankey Atkins and Ben Wallace for Pistons boss Grant Hill. These two top forwards The combination of guard swingman will probably make any opponent tremble when they see it. Fortunately, the Heat traded Eddie Jones this season, and Anthony Mason can also swing to the small forward position at any time, so he will not be completely disadvantaged on the wing. Moreover, the Magic just played a game yesterday, and today's game is a back-to-back game, so their physical fitness will be affected to some extent. The day before the game, Spoelstra told Wang Dalin good news - he had been included in the roster for the game against the Magic. It needs to be explained here that the team's roster can have up to 15 people after January 10th each year, but the roster for each game can only have 12 people. Generally speaking, first-year rookies like Wang Dalin are rarely included in the game list, unless you are a first-round pick or even a lottery pick. For example, in the Heat's opening game, Eddie House was not included in the game roster. This is not because he is not strong enough, but mainly because the coaching staff has more trust in experienced veterans. The current starting point guard of the team is Tim Hardaway, and the backup point guard is Anthony Carter. It is meaningless to have one more point guard. Even if the coaching staff puts Eddie House on the roster, so what? Can he still get playing time? Due to Mourning's absence, the Heat's current inside strength has been greatly reduced. Grant often has to play the center position, so there must be strong substitutes at the power forward and even small forward positions. Riley believes that Wang Dalin is the best player on the team. The right person. On the afternoon of November 1, at the end of the team¡¯s last training session before the game, Riley announced the 12-man game roster and also decided on the starting lineup. Starting lineup: Center Brian Grant, power forward Anthony Mason, small forward Eddie Jones, shooting guard Bruce Bowen, point guard Tim Hardaway. Substitute lineup: Centers AC Green and Duane Causwell, power forwards Wang Dalin and Don McClung, small forward Dan Marley, shooting guard Ricky Davis, point guard Anthony Carter. Considering that Dan Marley, a veteran, is 35 years old, and AC Green is 37 years old, Wang Dalin sometimes has to play center or small forward, and it is estimated that the playing time will be about 12-15 minutes. When he returned home in the evening, Wang Dalin quickly opened the system interface. As he entered the competition roster, all the tasks in the fourth stage were finally completed, and he also received the reward of "increasing the value of any specified ability by 5 points". Wang Dalin¡¯s original plan was to improve his defensive ability first so that he could fight for a bench position in the Heat, which has a ¡°defense first¡± philosophy. But when he got the opportunity, his thoughts changed. Riley, of course, prefers players who are good defenders. For example, Bruce Bowen, a strong perimeter defender, only averaged 5.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game last season. This season, he has entered the starting lineup. But Wang Dalin knows that if the team's offense is blocked, it will be difficult to win by defense alone. ???Look at the bench lineup. Which one can average more than 10 points per game? Not to mention 10 points, not even 7 points per game! So Wang Dalin made a decision. He spent the 5 reward points on the mid-range shot, so that his mid-range shot ability has reached 85! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 19 Starting from garbage time You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! There is one thing to say, Wang Dalin¡¯s current mid-range shooting ability is as high as 85, which is already at the forefront of the entire league. In 2000, Tracy McGrady had just ended his rookie contract. Kobe was still far away from his true peak. Carter was still the flying "ufo". Iverson's mid-range shooting percentage had never been high. Grant. Hill's condition is worrying after suffering a serious injury Of course, even at his peak, mid-range shooting was not his strong point. The other top outside scorers in the league are probably Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller and Alan Houston. Among them, Reggie Miller and Ray Allen shoot more three-pointers. Paul Pierce still prefers breakthroughs during this period. The only real "CIC player" is Alan Houston. Of course, some people will say that Nowitzki has slowly reached the peak of his career at this time, right? Isn¡¯t he considered a ¡°CIC handsome boy¡±? The "veteran driver" was indeed playing well at this time, but he averaged 17.5 points per game last season and could not be called a "top scorer." During this period, the Dallas Mavericks' scoring leader was the "poor version of Jordan" Michael Finley. , averaging 22.6 points per game. If Riley can give Wang Dalin more playing time, he can also let go of his hands and feet to shoot. With his height, wingspan and considerable agility, he may really become another "veteran driver". But these are just delusions. After all, he is only a first-year rookie and an undrafted player. No matter how courageous Riley is, he will not be able to give him too many opportunities. It was sunny and sunny throughout Miami on November 2nd, and the weather was very good. The Heat held a pre-match training at 10 a.m. During the training, Wang Dalin deliberately showed off his excellent mid-range jump shot, which really surprised everyone. 85 mid-range shooting ability, with a hit rate of about 90% when unguarded. When Wang Dalin ended this set of fixed-point mid-range shots with 92 of 100 shots, Riley, Spoelstra and other members of the coaching staff were all stunned. In fact, everyone knows that Wang Dalin¡¯s mid-range shot is good, but they didn¡¯t expect it to be so accurate. "Ahem" Riley walked up to Wang Dalin and said coquettishly, "Wang, it seems that your shooting training has been very effective during this period. You have to be preparedI will definitely let you play in tonight's game. Once you get on the field, take action decisively when you have the chance, don¡¯t hesitate!¡± "Yes, I will definitely make the shot, coach!" Wang Dalin bowed to the champion coach, "Thank you, coach!" "You don't need to thank me, you should thank yourself!" Riley smiled gracefully, "If you don't meet my requirements after playing, I will put you on the bench without hesitation!" This is Pat Riley. Although his coaching ability is beyond doubt, his attitude towards players is also very realistic. If you can do it, I will give you a high salary; if you can¡¯t do it, pack up and leave immediately! In 2016, when Dwyane Wade, the "team soul" of the Heat, suffered a serious injury and his condition declined, Riley was unwilling to give him an annual salary of more than 20 million to renew his contract. As a result, in order to get a decent contract, Wade had to Go to Chicago. You can say that Riley is realistic and cold-blooded, but from the perspective of team building, there is actually nothing wrong with his approach. Based on Wade's age and condition at the time, the Heat's salary space would be locked if they really had to sign a two-year contract with him worth more than $45 million. That night, the game started on time. The Magic's starting five are center John Amici, power forward Bo Outlaw, small forward Grant Hill, shooting guard Tracy McGrady and point guard Darrell Armstrong. . Armstrong, a small point guard, is only 180cm tall. Hardaway actually has a slight advantage in height, so he started holding the ball and playing singles continuously, which made Armstrong extremely embarrassed. Hill¡¯s knee injury has indeed had a great impact on his condition. His pace has obviously slowed down a lot. Eddie Jones also took advantage of his opponent¡¯s weakness to attack. The Heat started off very smoothly, and by the end of the first quarter they were far ahead 37:14. In the second half of this quarter, the Heat's rotation players came on stage one after another, but the team played very smoothly on both offense and defense. Wang Dalin failed to play until the end of the first quarter. After the start of the second quarter, the Magic finally stopped their decline. Under the leadership of McGrady, they gradually formed a balance with the Heat. The score in a single quarter was 21:22. The Magic only lost 1 point in this quarter. However, the hole dug in the first quarter was too big. At halftime, the Magic still trailed by 24 points, 35:59. Wang Dalin still failed to play in this quarter.??He is the only one left in the team's 12-man roster who has not yet played. Wang Dalin looked at Riley more than once, hoping that he would suddenly say: "Wang, get ready to play" But as a "water dispenser manager", Wang Dalin knows that all he needs to do now is wait, and once he plays, he must seize the opportunity to perform well. During halftime, the Heat locker room was filled with laughter. The team was leading by a big score, and even Riley, who was always strict, did not criticize the players too harshly. As the game continued in the second half, the Magic seemed to wake up from a dream and finally found their offensive state. In this section, Tracy McGrady and substitute forward Don Reed succeeded in consecutive attacks, leading to an 8-0 spurt. Riley called a timeout and made some adjustments. On the defensive end, Mason was asked to guard McGrady on the outside, while Jones swung to the shooting guard position. Although the Magic are in poor condition due to back-to-back games, Bruce Bowen's marking of Tracy McGrady was not very effective in this game, and the game situation was completely one-sided. There is really no need for Bowen, a defensive leader, to be on the court. This adjustment immediately had an effect. The Heat's offense succeeded one after another, and the Magic seemed to be unable to attack. They only scored 18 points in total in the third quarter. 57:84, after three quarters, the Magic were already 27 points behind, and the entire fourth quarter was completely garbage time. With a wave of Riley's hand, all the Heat's main players took a break, and Wang Dalin finally came on the court. With him on the court were Anthony Carter, Duane Coswell, Don McClung and Ricky Davis, with Wang Dalin playing power forward. Naturally, the Magic team has "surrendered" and replaced all its main players. Although he could only play in garbage time in the first game of his career, Wang Dalin played very hard. If there is anything else to watch in this kind of "rookies pecking each other" game, it can only be said to be Wang Dalin's CIC performance. I saw Wang Dalin making various mid-range jumpers on the court, including pull-up jumpers after the pick-and-roll, pull-up jumpers after breaking through one step, and pull-up jumpers when facing the defense All in all, Wang Dalin had a great time in this game. The Magic team¡¯s substitutes are almost scolding each other We are all "colleagues" who work in garbage time to make a living, why are we in such a hurry? So, in the last quarter, thanks to Wang Dalin¡¯s outstanding performance, the Magic not only failed to narrow the point difference, but actually made it even wider. ? 79:117, this is the final score of this game! The Heat scored 33 points in a single quarter. Wang Dalin scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in a single quarter. Although this data was "brushed" during garbage time, he actually won the "scoring king" of this game, higher than Jones's 17 points and McGrady's 16 points (Remember this site's website address: www .hlnovel.com Chapter 20 Everyone has to call you "Darling" You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After the Heat's first regular season game, Wang Dalin completed the first three tasks of the fifth stage in one fell swoop. However, the remaining three tasks in the fifth stage are all long-term tasks and cannot be completed in a short time: "Task 1: Play in the NBA regular season, reward: 800 points!" "Task 2: Score 10 points and 5 rebounds in a single game during the NBA regular season. Reward: 1,000 points!" "Task 3: Provide 2 blocks or steals in a single game during the NBA regular season. Reward: 1,000 points!" ¡°Task 4: Play 10 games in total during the NBA regular season, average no less than 7 points and 5 rebounds per game, reward: 3,000 points!¡± "Task 5: Play 30 games in total during the NBA regular season, average no less than 7 points and 5 rebounds per game, reward: 10,000 points!" ¡°Task 6: Selected into this season¡¯s NBA Rookie All-Star Team, reward: Tim Duncan¡¯s exclusive S-level star skill ¡®Touch Your Head¡¯!¡± After getting 2,800 points, Wang Dalin immediately thought about how to add points. He will not consider the offense for the time being. After all, his mid-range shooting ability of 85 is already very high. Anyway, even if he can play in every game, most of the opponents he faces will be the opponent's substitute players. There should be few people who can do anything about his shooting. Judging from his performance in the first game, it seems that it is not difficult to complete tasks four and five, but Wang Dalin did not lose his cool because of the success in the first game. After all, it is impossible for the Heat to experience garbage time in every game, and it is impossible for Wang Dalin to get 12 minutes of playing time in every game. As a player at the end of the bench, he may not be able to play for several consecutive games, or he may only play for one or two minutes. And once he has the opportunity to play, even if it is only for a minute or two, his performance will be included in the statistics. Therefore, after dozens of games, it is not easy to average 7 points and 5 rebounds per game. Even if you are as strong as Michael Jordan, you will not be able to produce good data with too little playing time. Andeven if he averages more than 15 minutes per game, it is not easy to average 7 points and 5 rebounds per game. In the 1999-2000 season for the Heat, the only substitute player who averaged 7 points and 5 rebounds per game was Clarence Weatherspoon, and he averaged 20.7 minutes per game. After careful consideration, he used these 2,800 points to add 8 points to defensive rebounds, so that his defensive rebounding ability reached 66. Although not as good as most post players, it should be about the same as most small forwards in the league. The Heat¡¯s next game is on the evening of November 4th, and they will fly to Charlotte on the afternoon of November 3rd to challenge the Hornets away. But after winning the game, everyone was very happy, and Hardaway decided to take everyone to a nightclub to celebrate. Why are you thinking so much about the next game now? There¡¯s no training tomorrow anyway! After all, he won the first battle and won by a big score. Riley was naturally in a good mood and did not arrange "devil training". "Tim I won't go, right?" Wang Dalin, as a gifted high school student from Guangyi Middle School with "all-round development of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and physical skills," still has some repulsion towards places like nightclubs. In later generations, James Harden became known as the "Nightclub Club" because he frequented nightclubs all over the world. During that time, his on-court performance could be said to be quite hip Fortunately, "Nightclub Deng" later reduced the number of trips to nightclubs, and then performed very well, thus winning the 2017-2018 regular season MVP in one fell swoop. Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t want to go, but how can his teammates let him go? "Wang, have you never been to a nightclub?" ¡°The nightclubs in Miami are very good!¡± "You are so handsome, there must be a lot of pretty girls who would fall in love with you" ¡­¡­ In the end, Wang Dalin, unable to defeat his teammates, followed them to the nightclub. ¡°e11even Miami¡± is an award-winning nightclub located in the heart of downtown Miami, just minutes from iconic South Beach. This nightclub has a luxurious and exquisite top-level design, with the most advanced sound and lighting design, and there are naturally a lot of beautiful girls on the dance floor. Hardaway was obviously a regular customer of this nightclub and took everyone directly to a luxury box on the second floor. The area of ??this private room is over 100 square meters, the interior decoration is top-notch, and the entire dance floor can be seen from the floor-to-ceiling windows.??The view is very good. Not long after, the waiter brought a variety of wines, fruit plates, snacks, etc. Hardaway took the lead in opening a bottle of "Jack Daniels", poured himself a full glass, raised his glass and smiled: "Brothers, we are all happy to have won the game today. Come have a drink first!" Grant smiled and said: "Hey, Tim, it seems our king is not old enough to drink, right?" The legal drinking age in the United States is 21 years old. Wang Dalin just turned 18 in March this year, and he is still more than two years away from turning 21! The team¡¯s other rookie Eddie House is different. He was born on May 14, 1978, so he is already 22 years old. Hardaway was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "Then there is nothing we can do. We are all good, law-abiding citizens. We can't instigate minors to drink bars?" When he mentioned "minors," he deliberately emphasized his tone a bit, and his eyes were full of ridicule. Mason ordered several bottles of non-alcoholic drinks for Wang Dalin. Seeing Wang Dalin¡¯s embarrassed expression while holding the drinks, all the old players couldn¡¯t help laughing. "Huh! They are indeed old hooligans!" Wang Dalin was angry but had no choice but to hold the drinks and clink glasses with everyone one by one. "This is the first cup, congratulations to all of us. We all played well in today's game!" ¡°In the second cup, I hope we can beat the Hornets the day after tomorrow!¡± "In the third cup, I hope we can continue to perform well and win 5 consecutive victories no, 10 consecutive victories!" With three glasses of wine down, Hardaway called over a group of beautiful girls. The atmosphere in the entire box heated up instantly, and everyone started dancing to the exciting music. As expected of an NBA player they are indeed full of male hormones! The veteran players have long been accustomed to this kind of scene. Even the rookie Eddie House quickly integrated into the environment and started dancing with a girl in his arms. ¡°If this were to hold a cigar in his mouth, it would probably be comparable to the scene of Uncle Liu Huang dancing ¡°Come on, keep playing music and keep dancing!¡± Wang Dalin was sitting alone on the sofa and was a little at a loss. In this life, he focused almost exclusively on basketball. In the last life, he was even more of an otaku and had never seen the feasting and feasting in nightclubs. A blond girl sat next to him, blinked her big watery eyes and said, "I watched your game on TV tonight you played very well today!" Wang Dalin was stunned when he heard this and looked at her carefully. He felt that this girl was quite delicate, especially her big eyes. "Thank you!" Wang Dalin politely picked up the drink and touched it with her, "Do you know what my name is?" "Of course, I know your name is 'Darling-Wang', isn't your name taking advantage of others? Everyone has to call you 'Darling', hahaha" The girl couldn't help laughing when she said this. stand up. Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but be dumbfounded "Damn it! Is my name so arrogant?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 21 Fierce Battle with Charlotte (1) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! That night, all the Heat members played in the nightclub until around 12 o'clock and then dispersed. There was no excessive singing and dancing. The main reason was that Pat Riley was good at "training" and no one dared to be too presumptuous. These players of the Heat are relatively self-disciplined this season. Although Jones, Mason, Grant and others are all newcomers, with Hardaway, the current boss, "leading by example", everyone does not have to play late into the night. However, a few players came to the girl who accompanied the wine to have Happy. This kind of thing is normal at any time of the NBA, and Wang Dalin doesn't feel that there is anything wrong. Anyway, he must not have this thought. It¡¯s not that he has a bad heart or courage. The main reason is that he has just entered the NBA and has not even entered the main rotation. He really feels that he is not qualified to indulge himself. Although he often hangs out in nightclubs, he is still a "flower show". In his rookie season, he was an important source of firepower for the Thunder's bench. He averaged 22.9 minutes per game, scored 9.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and hit three-pointers. The rate has reached 37.5%, which can be considered as indulgent capital, right? ¡°Besides, Wang Dalin is only 18 years old, which means he has just reached adulthood in China. It would be too unprofessional to rush around and just pick up girls. The main reason is actually still no money! Don¡¯t think that you can get the money immediately after signing the contract. During this period, the NBA¡¯s salary for each season will be paid in 12 installments, once every half month. He has to wait until November 15th to receive his first salary with the Heat, which is approximately $35,000. Now, he only has a total of more than 700 US dollars left in his pocket. If the rent had not been paid, he would not even have enough for living expenses. How could he have money to have fun? Wang Dalin¡¯s family restaurant¡¯s annual income is about 300,000 yuanmei coins, which was considered very good in China in 2000, and it was only more than 30,000 yuan in U.S. dollars. During this period, his monthly rent in the United States was US$700, and he spent almost US$2,000 including living expenses, which was considered very frugal. If he often goes to the supermarket to buy low-priced and discounted food, he can save at least another 500 US dollars every month If you want to be a professional player, your body is your capital, so you should not treat yourself too badly when it comes to diet! ¡­¡­ After the Heat challenged the Charlotte Hornets away on November 4, they immediately had to return to Miami to face the Philadelphia 76ers at home on November 5. I have to say that it¡¯s really frustrating to have to experience back-to-back games at the beginning of the season. The biggest headache for Riley is the hidden injury risks of the veterans in the team. These "thirty-year-old men" must carefully control their playing time, otherwise they will lose more than they gain if they get injured. Mourning has already had to recuperate for a long time due to injuries. If Hardaway, Mason, Green, Carter or Marley are injured one or two more times, it is estimated that the regular season record will be difficult to guarantee. In the past, Pat Riley liked to "beat the main players hard", but this season he has begun to try to make some changes, such as increasing the original 9-10 person rotation to a 10-11 person rotation, which can not only improve the main players Their on-field efficiency can also effectively reduce their risk of injury. If you want to do this, the substitute players must be strong! Otherwise, do you think why Tom Thibodeau, Larry Brown and Jeff Van Gundy like to "beat the main force" so much in the original time and space? It¡¯s not because of the lack of substitute players! "This Darling King is really eye-catching!" Looking at the player list on the desk, Riley drew a straight line under Wang Dalin's name with a pen, and a smile appeared on his face, "This is it. The name makes people uncomfortable just looking at it, I¡¯m not gay!¡± ¡­¡­ Eddie House was on the roster for this away game against the Hornets. The opponent had the backcourt duo of David Wesley and Baron Davis, and their offensive firepower was quite good. Riley was still quite good. Fearful. Tim Hardaway and Anthony Carter are old after all, and it may be difficult to compete with Davis, a point guard with extremely explosive physical fitness. Although Eddie House is not as tall and strong as "Big Beard", he is very fast and has a very hard defensive attitude. At least he can restrict "Big Beard" from the outside. Riley is more worried about Jamal Mashburn. This small forward nicknamed "Monster Marsh" also played for the Heat last season. Riley is very familiar with his strength. Mashburn played 76 games in the regular season for the Heat last season, averaging 37.2 minutes per game. He averaged 17.5 points, 5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. He ranked second on the team in points per game and in minutes played. First, he is definitely at the quasi-All-Star level. Some fans will say: "No?Averaging 17.5 points per game? What's so great about this? " Such scoring averages were nothing in the small ball erabut this was in 2000! From the late 1990s to the early 21st century, the pace of NBA games was quite slow. Anyone who averaged more than 20 points per game could be considered a super scorer. In the just-concluded 1999-2000 season, there were only 5 players in the entire league averaging more than 25 points per game, and only 20 players averaging more than 20 points per game. Jamal Marsh ranks 36th in the scoring list with an average of 17.5 points per game, and his offensive firepower is quite good! Fortunately, the Heat have Eddie Jones this season. He averaged 20.1 points and 2.67 steals last season, and he was enough to suppress Mashburn on both offense and defense. Wang Dalin, who performed well in the first game, was also included in the game list, and Riley was prepared to give him more playing time. Mainly because the Hornets have good substitutes inside, especially Derrick Coleman, the No. 1 pick in the 1990 draft, who averaged 20+10 per game for three consecutive seasons. Even Mourning could only do that back then. It's just a good match with him for a while, and this guy averaged 16.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per game last season! Todd Fowler, who has always had a "weak style of play", will definitely be no match for Coleman. Coswell can hold up a lot in the paint, but this guy can't do anything except dunk on the offensive end. Riley feels that on the bench, Perhaps only Wang Dalin can barely fight with him. ¡­¡­ On the afternoon of November 3, the Heat soldiers took a plane to Charlotte, and conducted about an hour of adaptation training the next afternoon. The game rosters and starting lists of both sides have been submitted. The Hornets¡¯ starting five are center Eldon Campbell, power forward P.J. Brown, small forward Jamal Mashburn, shooting guard David Wesley, and point guard Baron Davis. The starting lineup for the Heat is center Brian Grant, power forward Anthony Mason, small forward Bruce Bowen, shooting guard Eddie Jones and point guard Tim Hardaway. Grant won the jump ball and won the first attack for the Heat. After Jones received the ball from the outside, he directly singled out Wesley. He relied on his height advantage to successfully make a jump shot. ¡°Maybe it was because I didn¡¯t feel good at the beginning, but the ball ended up being a strike. Looking back, Mashburn held the ball in the Hornets' first attack and singled out Bowen. Faced with Bowen's tight defense, Mashburn did not score the goal. ???????????? Then Mason on the Heat¡¯s side made a breakthrough layup, and on the Hornets¡¯ side, Brown attacked the basket but still couldn¡¯t score Riley, who was sitting off the court, looked solemn, and on the other side, the Hornets coach Paul Silas also had a heavy face. They already have a hunch that this game may be a very fierce defensive battle. No matter who wins or loses in this kind of competition, the process of the competition will be extremely difficult (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 22 Fierce Battle with Charlotte (2) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! NBA president David Stern was very depressed because he was watching the Heat's regular season game against the Hornets on the TV. Hello Pat Riley! And you, Paul Silas! You two soulless soulswe are already in the 21st century. How about you two imitating Nelson and playing run-and-gun? Who the hell wants to watch the defense? Thinking of this, Stern regretted it so much that he wanted to give himself a slap in the face - for this kind of game, why on earth should I agree to arrange a national live broadcast for them? The reason why the league staff arranged for this game to be broadcast live across the United States is mainly because both teams had good records last season, one was second in the Eastern Conference, and the other was fifth in the Eastern Conference! Moreover, the Heat and Hornets are not short of stars. Last season, Mourning was selected to the second team and first defense, Jones was selected to the third team and second defense, and Jamal Mashburn was also selected to the All-Star and All-NBA Team. Logically speaking, this The match between the two teams was not boring. But the fact is that when you thought they would put on a wonderful attacking show, they turned out to be a blacksmith show. Yes, this is a blacksmith show! The game lasted 8 minutes in the first quarter, and the score between the two teams only reached 11:15, with the Heat trailing by 4 points. The starting players on both sides were a little tired, so they began to mobilize their troops and slowly replaced the second lineup. The Hornets replaced P.J. Brown, who felt extremely bad, and replaced him with this year's rookie center Magloire, and they played the twin towers. The Heat also replaced Anthony Mason and Eddie Jones, whose hands were also surprisingly bad, and replaced them with Wang Dalin and Don McClung. The ball was still on the Hornets' side. "Big Bearded" Davis controlled the ball past halftime and directly ran over Hardaway from the left to approach the three-second zone. Wang Dalin had no choice but to come over to help defend. Davis made a very concealed pass from behind and handed the ball to Magloire, who had already leaked the ball. Fortunately, Grant had a very good sense of defense. After a delay, Wang Dalin finally came back to defend in time. Magloire is a first-year rookie like Wang Dalin. The difference is that his draft pick is as high as 19th in the first round, while Wang Dalin is just an undrafted player. Faced with such a "nobody", how could Magloire lose his temper? Relying on his physical strength, he directly faced Wang Dalin and tried to force a layup, but was blocked by Wang Dalin's hot pot. Magloire is indeed much stronger than Wang Dalin, and his strength is not at the same level at all. However, when Wang Dalin defended him, he did not block him hard, but held back while holding back to prepare to jump to block the shot. When Magloire reached the basket and forced a layup, Wang Dalin seized the opportunity and jumped to complete the block. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In this drowsy "blacksmithing match", Wang Dalin's wonderful performance was like a bolt from the blue. The fans at the scene suddenly reached a climax and booed him one after another. With quick eyes and quick hands, Hardaway grabbed the ball at the second landing point, slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and then passed it directly to Wang Dalin, who had just reached the top of the three-point arc. Magloire hurriedly lowered his center of gravity and stepped forward. Wang Dalin didn't even look at him. With a flick of his right hand, the ball flew towards Bowen who was cutting in quickly. Bowen went straight for a layup after receiving the ball. Campbell's defensive actions were very fierce, and he even pushed him down with the ball fouled and got two free throws. There is one thing to say, Campbell can only be regarded as a big defensive move, but who is really dirty? Bowen dares to say to everyone on both sides - "I mean everyone present is gay (la) and sex (ji)!" Bowen made one of two free throws and the Heat fell behind by 3 points. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Both sides each missed two attacks, Wang Dalin was a little speechless How bad does the touch have to be to be so strong? The Hornets missed another shot. Wang Dalin took off the defensive rebound and then made a long pass across the court. The ball was very accurately passed to Bowen who was about to leave. This time Bowen finally made the shot. At 14:15, the Heat were still 1 point behind, and there were only 2 minutes left in the first quarter. On the Hornets side, Mashburn went to the wing to catch the ball, and then forced a breakthrough very decisively. However, Wang Dalin was blocked by Wang Dalin during the layup. It was very rare that the ball missed the layup. After Wang Dalin took off the defensive rebound, he made another long pass, this time to Hardaway. Hardaway saw the opponent retreating.The speed was very fast, so I didn¡¯t rush forward. Wang Dalin ran over and made a pick-and-roll with him. After the block, he immediately ran to the wing. Hardaway was very comfortable with the ball. When he received the ball, Magloire was at least two meters away from him. "Beautiful mid-range shooter" Wang Dalin came online instantly. After receiving the ball, he immediately made a pull-up jumper. The ball was there! At 16:15, the Heat finally overtook the score, and there was another burst of joy on the bench. The two commentators on TNT TV also seemed very excited. Charles Barkley grinned and said: "This Chinese rookie named Darling Wang played very well, but obviously the Heat can't count too much if they want to win this game. This first grade kid still has to rely on Tim, Eddie and Brian!¡± "Man, I have a different opinion!" Kenny Smith laughed. "As far as I know, Darling King participated in this year's draft, but failed. Then he represented the Heat in the Orlando Summer in July. League' and performed well, so the Heat signed a non-guaranteed basic salary contract with him" Taking a sip from the water glass, Smith continued: "Then he participated in the preseason last month and averaged 18.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.5 blocks per game. If I remember correctly, the great Sir Charles Were you not as good as him when you played in the preseason during your rookie season?" Barkley curled his lips and said, "It's just the data from the preseason. You're making too much of a fuss!" Smith said with a faint smile: "But he also played very well in his first regular season game the day before yesterday. He scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in 12 minutes!" Barkley showed a sarcastic smile: "What can the data played during garbage time mean?" Smith smiled and said: "Charles, it seems that you only scored 11 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block in your career regular season debut, right?" Barkley said angrily: "Don't do this with me! Michael only made 5 of 16 shots in his career debut!" Smith slapped the table and laughed: "But Michael scored 16 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks in that game. Can you compare?" Buckley said angrily: "Okay, I can't compete with Michael, but this boy named Wang, the great Sir Charles can teach him a lesson with one hand Well, if you dare, how about we make a bet?" ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 23 Bet You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Since TNT TV station hired Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith as commentary partners, the ratings of NBA live broadcast have been much higher than that of ESPN TV station. The main reason is actually one thing - Barkley and Smith's commentary is more entertaining, and they are very good at creating topics when singing together, especially Barkley likes to bet with Smith! Speaking of gambling, Barkley was Jordan's "card buddy" back then and had a great gambling habit. I believe Chinese fans are well aware of his most famous bet during the TNT live broadcast, which was the time when he kissed a donkey¡¯s butt. The object of the bet was none other than "Little Giant" Yao Ming. Wang Dalin really didn¡¯t expect that in this life, before Yao Ming set foot in the NBA, and even before Wang Zhizhi came, Barkley would ¡°take a fancy¡± to him in advance. In the live broadcast room of TNT TV station, Barkley and Smith were talking about the bet, and the real-time ratings increased slightly. "Kenny, I bet that Darling Wang can't get the same numbers as when I made my career debut in this game. If I lose, I will live broadcast 10 consecutive games wearing only my underwear!" "Hey, manare you that big?" "Yes, do you dare to bet?" "Would I be afraid of you, a guy who hasn't even won a championship ring in his career?" "What the hell you mmp!" "Don't curse, kid, or you'll be fined by the league!" "Don't talk about these useless things, just tell me whether you dare to gamble?" "It's a bet!" ¡­¡­ Wang Dalin definitely couldn¡¯t hear the TNT TV commentary at the game. Even if he could hear it, he didn¡¯t have time to pay attention to it - the game was so intense! With 1 minute left in the first quarter, the Heat's starting five have all been taken off the court to rest. The current players on the court are Wang Dalin, House, Green, Marley and McClun. The Hornets only have Mashburn left in the starting lineup. The other four are Otis Thorpe, Magloire, Eddie Robinson and Eldridge Rekasner. Although the overall shooting percentage of the Hornets is very low, Mashburn is quite accurate in this game, having made 3 of 5 shots. Naturally, the Hornets' substitute players passed the ball to Mashburn to beat Marley in isolation. Marley is already 35 years old, how can he withstand the strong Mashburn? Marley was selected to the All-Star team when he was with the Suns. He has comprehensive skills, good offense and defense, and excellent physical fitness. His nickname is "Thunder Pill". If he were a few years younger, he would really be worthy of Marsh. Book. However, Marley has entered the end of his career this season. The gas tank is indeed running out of gas. He can only shoot open three-pointers on the court. The backup forward and swingman of ordinary teams are already somewhat unable to defend, let alone still. Mashbourne at its peak? It would be great if the NBA allowed zone defense during this period. Small forwards like Mashburn who attack the inside will definitely have a hard time when encountering zone defense. But before zone defense was legalized, players like Mashburn were a sharp knife on the offensive end, and it was difficult to effectively restrict him. Fortunately, Marley did a good job on defense twice in a row and had a very tenacious defensive attitude. Mashburn attacked twice in a row. It¡¯s a pity that House and McClung on the Heat¡¯s side also failed in two attacks. With the next goal, Mashburn finally broke through Marly's defense, rushed into the basket and jumped high for a dunk. Wang Dalin was blocked by Robinson. At 16:17, the Hornets took the lead again. Wang Dalin is also a little angry Since you are staring at our defensive weaknesses and attacking fiercely, I won't be polite! Jamal Mashburn is indeed one of the most powerful offensive small forwards in the league, but his defense is not very good, and his height is "only" 203cm This is the height with shoes on. If he is barefoot, he should be only 203cm. 200 or 201cm. In other words, Wang Dalin is 10cm taller than him! Why are you being polite to him? Although Wang Dalin¡¯s position on the court is power forward, there is an offensive method on the basketball court called "pick and roll". After the pick and roll, the opponent usually has to change positions to defend "Hey, Dan, come over later and I'll cover for you!" With Wang Dalin taking the initiative to cover for him, Marley immediately dribbled into the three-point line. The opponent Robinson came over to delay, and Mashburn hurriedly returned to defense. Marly took advantage of this time difference to pass the ball to Wang Dalin, who was standing at the top of the three-point arc, and helped him block Robinson. Wang Dalin¡¯s goal is a complete successAn open three-pointer, and after taking the shot, he felt that the ball was probably there, so before the ball hit the basket, he turned around and raised his arms in celebration. As a time traveler, who hasn¡¯t seen this famous scene of ¡°General¡± Arenas? The players who imitated this famous scene in later generations include Nick Young and Kemba Walker. Unfortunately, neither of them made a shot, setting a typical example of "failing to show off but getting slapped in the face." Fortunately, Wang Dalin scored the goal. If he hadn't scored, Riley might even kick him out of the squad for the next game I really can't afford to lose this guy! There was jubilation on the Heat bench, and the players cheered excitedly, especially Ricky Davis who shouted the loudest. To be honest, this guy is a "god-level" figure. In order to get a triple-double in the original time and space, he deliberately shot on his own backboard, just to grab one more rebound Wang Dalin pretends to be so "fresh and refined", how can these two TNT guys keep their mouths idle? "Charles, Wang has only played for more than 3 minutes, and he has already scored 5 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. Are you a little panicked?" "Calm down! Calm down! What scene have I, Sir Charles, never seen before? Isn't it just a three-pointer?" "Yes, he did just shoot a three-pointer, but Charles, did you ever think of celebrating with such an action?" "Kenny, do I seem to be such a grandiose person? If I celebrate like this every time I shoot a three-pointer, I will have to celebrate hundreds or thousands of times" "Haha, don't get excited, I just want to remind you about the bet. If you lose, don't default on it" "Farkehow dare you question my gambling? Let me tell you, the great Sir Charles has always been willing to admit defeat!" As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Dalin grabbed another defensive rebound. Buckley: "" With about 15 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, the Heat played very patiently until the last three seconds when House suddenly made a quick reverse run and cut into the basket. Wang Dalin passed the ball through Robinson's crotch from the high post. House made a layup after receiving the ball, and the Heat led by 4 points at 21:17. "Charles, Wang got another assist!" "Don't bother me too muchit's commercial break time!" After returning to the locker room, Riley praised Wang Dalin by name and asked him to mention the top of the three-point arc more in the second quarter to provide support. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 24 Back-to-back battles with the 76ers You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The game continued. Wang Dalin still stayed on the court at the beginning of the second quarter. Several other substitutes were replaced by Riley and replaced by Grant, Mason, Jones and Hardaway. In comparison, Riley still trusts the main players in the team more. He had no choice but to mobilize his troops this time, because the Hornets changed into the starting lineup at the beginning of the second quarter, and only Mashburn, who played the entire first quarter, went off to rest. Mashburn was replaced by Eddie Robinson. In the last few minutes of the first quarter, he played as a power forward for a while. Wang Dalin scored 5 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. He played well on the defensive end. pulpy. Compared to Riley, the head coach Paul Silas obviously prefers to "beat the main force hard". His favorite players are Mashburn and P.J. Brown at the third and fourth positions. Derek Coleman was injured before this game, and Magloire became the only substitute center. Robinson could only be used as a power forward in the second team. After switching back to the first lineup, Grant played center, Mason played power forward, and Wang Dalin swung to the small forward position, matching up with Robinson again. Robinson, who is 203cm tall, was undoubtedly shattered at this time, as sick as if he had eaten a fly. "Where did the Heat find this Chinese guy? Damn it! How dare you say you are 206cm when you are so tall? You are 10cm taller than me, okay?" Before the start of the season, the information reported by the Heat to the NBA official stated that Wang Dalin's height was "206cm". There was no way The Heat were not the only ones who lied about their height these days? Speaking of which, Robinson averaged 16.6 minutes per game last season, averaging 7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. He performed very well as a substitute small forward. You must know that Robinson only entered the league in 1999. As an undrafted player, he performed better than most rookies in his class. However, Wang Dalin, the undrafted player, is obviously better than him. Especially when the whole team's touch was not good, Wang Dalin's touch in this game still maintained a high standard. Wang Dalin played a full 5 minutes in the second quarter before being replaced. In this quarter, he made 2 of 4 shots from mid-range on the wing and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. Just like that, by the end of the first half, Wang Dalin had already scored 11 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, and was only 1 rebound away from Barkley's debut numbers. tnt television station. There was a rare blush on Barkley's dark face. In response, Smith almost laughed from ear to ear. "That's enough, Kenny!" Barkley finally said helplessly as if he was discouraged, "Okay, I admit that I made a mistake this time. This Chinese rookie played really well" "No Charles, isn't he still one rebound short? Don't give in so quickly, okay?" "Damn ityou idiot! Am I going to believethat he couldn't even grab a single rebound during the entire half?" "Okay, Charles! Now that you have admitted defeat, cash in your bet during the next live broadcast! Don't blame me, you said it yourselfremember to wear a pair of brightly colored underwear!" "I¡­¡­" Of course, it was impossible for TNT to allow Buckley to perform a "topless performance" during the live broadcast, so both of them heard the warning from their superiors in their headphones. The two had to "bargain" in front of the live broadcast camera, and finally Smith said "generously" that Barkley could wear a vest during the live broadcast Who is not an actor anymore? In the second half, Wang Dalin got more playing time, and his efficiency also dropped slightly. Facing the high-intensity defense of the Hornets' main players, he only scored 2 out of 6 shots. However, in this game for the Heat, only Grant made 10 of 17 shots, plus he efficiently scored 27 points on 13 of 15 free throws. Everyone else played badly Mason made 0 of 7 shots, Jones made 4 of 13 shots, Hardaway made 5 of 13 shots, and Carter made 1 of 7 shots In comparison, Wang Dalin made 6 of 12 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored 17 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block, which was a team performance. The second best player. In the original time and space, the Heat lost 79:83 to the Hornets, but in this life, the Heat defeated the Hornets 88:82, mainly because they had Wang Dalin on the team. ??Perhaps Wang Dalin and the Heat coaching staff didn¡¯t realize that after two consecutive games with outstanding performances, just unknowingly he has become the current leader of the Heat.?An indispensable and important force on the bench. Things developed so suddenly, perhaps it should be said that it happened naturally. After adding 6 mid-range shots, Wang Dalin¡¯s comprehensive ability value has reached 77. At present, his actual combat power is naturally far from being a top star in the league, but if you compare him with the substitute players of each team, it seems quite powerful! On November 5, the Heat returned home to face the Philadelphia 76ers. Wang Dalin finally met his idol in his previous life - Allen Iverson! There are many short stars in the history of NBA who have been selected as All-Stars, such as Tim Hardaway of the Heat this season, the retired "Smiling Assassin" Isiah Thomas, and the "Tallest Player on Earth" with the same name. Strong 175", and later Chris Paul, nicknamed "Saint Paul". If you want to evaluate who is the strongest among them, I guess everyone has their own opinion, but if you want to compare who is the most popular, it must be Allen Iverson! In terms of honors he has received in his career, he has 4 regular season scoring champions, 1 regular season MVP, and has been selected to the All-Star lineup 11 times Except for the "Smiling Assassin" who has never won a scoring champion, he is no worse than him in other aspects! "Compared to the "Smiling Assassin" who has won two NBA championships, Iverson has only played in the finals once, let alone the championshipaccording to the history of the original time and space, it was this season. Of course everyone on earth knows Facing the Lakers with an "ok combination", the Philadelphia 76ers led by Iverson suffered a miserable defeat 1:4 in the finals. When it comes to other people, the big score of 1:4 in the finals can be said to be a "big defeat", but when it comes to Iverson, it becomes "a glorious defeat"! Facing such a powerful Lakers team, the 76ers were able to win a victory, and Iverson scored 46 points, 6 assists and 5 steals in that game This is not "glory despite defeat" but also What? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? This season, the Philadelphia 76ers have introduced the "Mountain of Africa" ??Dikembe Mutombo, plus Theo Ratliff, the shot-blocking champion in the original lineup, and outside defensive hero Eric Snow. Their strength has been significantly improved compared to last season. In addition, although their head coach Larry Brown has long been criticized by later generations of fans, who believe that he was the one who destroyed the "Serbian genius" Milicic, when it comes to training the team's defense, historically he can be compared with this old man. There are probably no more than five head coaches! So, amidst the deafening cheers of the fans at the "American Airlines Center", this back-to-back regular season began (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 25 Complete Mission 4 You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Facing the menacing 76ers, the Heat did not adjust the starting lineup for this game. It is still Grant, Mason, Jones, Bowen and Hardaway. The starting five for the 76ers are center Uncle Mu, power forward Ratliff, small forward Te'Lon Hill, shooting guard Eric Snow and point guard Allen Iverson. Of course, fans who know Iverson know that the "answer" is just a "pseudo point guard". His real position on the court is a shooting guard. Otherwise, how could the former "four major shooting guards" include him? Larry Brown¡¯s defensive tactics are flexible and changeable, but his offensive tactics are extremely simple. Just give the ball to Iverson and let him perform his gorgeous offensive skills. The "Answer"'s touch in this game can only be considered average. He only made 8 of 19 shots in the game, plus 6 of 8 free throws and scored 23 points. In comparison, Tim Hardaway of the Heat had a better touch. He scored 23 points on 8 of 16 shots and also sent out 11 assists. And for the Heat, Jones scored a game-high 26 points, and Mason also had a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds. However, the Heat still lost this game, and the final score was 88:90. The loss was mainly due to the inside combination of the 76ers Uncle Mu and Ratliff combined to score 33 points, 29 rebounds and 7 blocks, completely suppressing the Heat's inside line. Wang Dalin got 16 minutes of playing time in this game. He scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on 3 of 7 shots. He had no free throws and missed two three-pointers. Compared with his excellent performance in the first two games, his performance this time can only be said to be unsatisfactory, but in the eyes of Pat Riley, this is the normal performance of a substitute player. In his opinion, if Wang Dalin can average such average data throughout the season, it will completely exceed the team's expectations of him. After all, he is just an undrafted player, and his annual salary is only 420,000. What else can you ask of him? All in all, the biggest gain from this game for Wang Dalin is probably that he got an autograph of "Answer" at the end of the game, right? The Heat can have three days off after three games, and then they will face the Seattle SuperSonics at home. For Riley, who is strict in running the army, it is not a big deal to lose a regular season game once in a while, especially when the opponent is the strong 76ers, but losing streak is absolutely unacceptable! So the "Magic Calculator"'s ultimate move "Devil Training" was used again. The Heat players lived in dire straits for three consecutive days. "Old fritters" such as Hardaway and Mason even lost their energy to go to the nightclub. Until November 9th, the Heat players finally breathed a sigh of relief There was a game to be played in the evening, so the "devil training" naturally had to stop. This Sonics team has "Glove" Gary Payton who is still in his prime, Rashard Lewis, who has entered the starting lineup in his third year, Ruben Patterson, the also third-year outside 3D player, and just Vin Baker, who has finished playing in the Olympics, and Patrick Ewing, who is already 38 years old. It¡¯s really good just looking at the lineup, but the strength on paper does not represent the real strength. If Ewing were 5 years younger, or even 3 years younger, this Sonics team would definitely be able to make a difference this season. But "Gorilla" is too old, and he can no longer climb to the top of the Empire State Building to masturbate. And Wen Baker besides drinking, what else does this guy do? Wang Dalin smelled a strong smell of alcohol when he was physically confronting the man on the court, and then he realized that the rumors were indeed true. Facing the SuperSonics, which had failed to reach the playoffs for two years, the Heat showed the momentum of being second in the Eastern Conference last season and suppressed their opponents throughout the game. The final score was consistent with the situation on the court, 94:78. The Heat beat the SuperSonics to avoid a losing streak. Next, the Heat play two consecutive away games. On November 11, they defeated the Utah Jazz with a score of 87:80. On November 12, in back-to-back games, they lost to the Suns, who had the "league's first point guard" Jason Kidd and "Hacker" Marion, with a score of 82:84. On the night of November 12th, the Heat generals flew back to Miami, and the next day they went through a new round of "devil training" It has been said that Riley never accepts a losing streak. On November 15th, the Heat team was united and beat the challenging Charlotte Hornets 89:86, defeating them for the second time this season. On November 16, the Heat challenged the New Jersey Nets away from home. They lost back-to-back games. The final score was 91:93. It was a pity to lose. On November 18th, the Heat generals who have experienced another "devil training" came toChallenging the Philadelphia 76ers away, they finally suffered their first consecutive losing streak of the season. In this game, Iverson made 15 of 25 shots and scored 35 points very efficiently, while the 76ers only scored 94 points in total. In the original time and space, the entire Heat team felt cold in this game, scoring only 79 points in total. It was slightly better to have Wang Dalin in this life, but they only scored 84 points Wang Dalin's touch in this game was not good either, and he only made 3 of 8 shots in the game. The so-called "refuse to lose in a row" can actually only be regarded as a slogan, or a good wish in the hearts of coaches and players. ¡°It¡¯s good to not have a losing streak, but if we really do have a losing streak what can you do? Riley: "What should I do? I'm doing devil training!" ¡­¡­ This time the Heat experienced their first losing streak this season, and the main reason was Hardaway's absence. After playing against the New Jersey Nets on November 16, Hardaway felt soreness in his right knee. After an MRI, no problem was found. To be on the safe side, Riley gave him a truce. Everyone is not happy that the team suffered a losing streak, but Wang Dalin is in a good mood, because after these 10 games, he has completed the fourth task of the fifth stage. The task requirement is to "play a total of 10 games in the NBA regular season and average no less than 7 points and 5 rebounds per game." In these 10 games, he averaged 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 0.8 assists per game. 3 blocks and 0.4 steals, which can be regarded as overfulfilling the task and received a reward of 3,000 points. If all 3,000 points are used to increase ability points, it can give him a small improvement. For example, his back-up, back-up hook and back-up movements are all very low. At the price of 1 point for 200 points below 60, he can improve one of them by a full 15 points. However, considering that the original value was indeed too low, even if it was increased by 15 points, it was still not high and would be basically useless in the game, so Wang Dalin was not in a hurry to add points and temporarily saved the 3,000 points. He plans to play more games and add more points after completing task five. By then, he will score a total of 13,000 points in one go I just want to ask you, do you like it? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 26 Hitting the ¡°Rookie Wall¡± You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The wish is beautiful, but the reality is often cruel. Wang Dalin thought that based on his performance in the first 10 games, there would not be much problem in continuing to complete task 5. Isn't it "to play a total of 30 games in the NBA regular season and average no less than 7 points and 5 rebounds per game"? But in the next few games, he failed to reach the "minimum indicator" of 7 points and 5 rebounds. On November 19, the Heat faced the Portland Trail Blazers back-to-back at home. In this game, the Heat defeated their opponents 86:80. Wang Dalin came on as a substitute for 18 minutes. He made 3 of 6 shots from the field, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws and scored 9 points. His shooting touch in this game was good and his efficiency was quite high, but he was a bit stretched when grabbing rebounds. He only grabbed 2 rebounds in the game and did not behave like an inside player at all. On November 23, the Heat suffered a disastrous defeat against the Eastern Conference underdog Cleveland Cavaliers at home. The score of this game was actually 74:86! The Heat have Eddie Jones, who averages more than 20 points per game, and Mason and Grant, who average about 16 points per game. Hardaway is currently averaging more than 14 points per game As you can imagine, with so many players above the level. As a scorer, the Heat actually only scored 74 points in the game, which I have to say is very ironic! In this game, Eddie Jones did not play due to a strained left calf muscle. Perhaps this was the reason for the loss, but Pat Riley did not want to make excuses for the team's defeat. Look at the "touching" shooting percentages of the players Grant made 6 of 15 shots, Hardaway made 3 of 12 shots, Mason made 0 of 5 shots, Coswell made 0 of 4 shots, and Wang Dalin made 1 of 7 shots! The one with the highest shooting percentage among the Heat is actually Bruce Bowen. He made 3 of 7 shots in this game, with a shooting percentage of 42.9%it¡¯s still rounded off! It can be imagined that when the team shoots 33.3% from the field, if it wants to win then it can only prevent the opponent's shooting rate to an even lower level! The Heat currently concede only 69.7 points per game, ranking first in the league! What makes the "Magic Counter" even more annoyed is that as the best defensive team in the league, they actually allowed their opponents to score 86 points? Which one is unbearable? My uncle can bear it, but my aunt can¡¯t bear it either! "The fortune teller" is angry, the Heat soldiers are unlucky again, and a new round of "devil training" has started again On November 25, the Heat played another away game against the Cavaliers, and they lost the game again, with a score of 80:85. Eddie Jones returned from injury, but he only made 7 of 19 shots from the field. In addition, Anthony Carter made 0 of 5 shots, Bruce Bowen made 1 of 7 shots, Wang Dalin made 2 of 6 shots, and Hardaway made 6 of 15 shots. The Heat's offense is still struggling. In these three games, Wang Dalin averaged only 5.67 points and 3.33 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage was only 31.6%. For a time, not only the Heat coaching staff was quite disappointed with him, but the fans and the media also criticized his performance. Barkley, wearing floral underwear, said: "I admit that Darling King performed well at the beginning of the season, but as he played more and more games, we finally saw his true strength. The facts tell us - he is a A very ordinary loser!" Kenny Smith also said: "To be honest, I thought Darling King would continue to perform well, just like he did at the beginning of this season, but obviously I was wrong!" With Wang Dalin¡¯s sluggish performance in three consecutive games, Riley also adjusted his playing time, dropping from an average of about 15 minutes per game to about 10 minutes. Various circumstances indicate that Wang Dalin is very likely to have hit the "rookie wall"! The NBA has always had the so-called "rookie wall". Although it is a bit mysterious, it still makes sense if you analyze it carefully. A rookie with decent strength can often perform well when he first debuts in the NBA. However, as the season progresses, each team's understanding of the rookie will become deeper and deeper. Therefore, each team will definitely make targeted tactical arrangements for this rookie, whether it is the offensive or defensive end. Wang Dalin's offensive methods are relatively simple. He is currently only relatively confident in mid-range shots, and other offensive skills are not good enough, so he basically uses mid-range shots when attacking. As long as the opponent arranges for a player to pay attention to him at all times and provide certain interference when he takes a jump shot, it will naturally affect his shooting percentage. The mid-range shooting ability of 85 is high, but it is also to the extent that it can ignore the defense! But Wang Dalin knew that the main reason why his performance in these three games was not good was because he was tired! Yes, he is tired! As we said before, NBA??The intensity of confrontation is far from comparable to ordinary games. Now is the beginning of the 21st century, the most intense confrontation in history. Compared with the small ball era of later generations, the intensity of confrontation in the NBA is much higher these days. As Wang Dalin performed well in the first 10 games since the start of the season, Riley couldn't help but increase his playing time. In the last three games, his playing time was 18 minutes, 20 minutes and 19 minutes respectively! As a substitute player, this kind of playing time is undoubtedly a lot Kobe only averaged 15.5 minutes per game in his rookie season! In terms of playing time alone, Wang Dalin has ranked sixth in the team in these three games. His physical strength is only 61it is obviously not enough! Wang Dalin only played at the high school level in China before, and then played in the NBA preseason and preseason games The intensity was simply not comparable to the regular season. After playing a full 13 high-intensity regular season games, especially after losing and having to go through "devil training", Wang Dalin felt that his "stamina tank" was never full. Is this the "rookie wall"? This is clearly a "physical wall"! Not to mention Wang Dalin's 18 -year -old "child", is NCAA players in the freshman year and sophomore. How many are the physical strength of fighting in the NBA? After the game, many players like to go to nightclubs to enjoy themselves, singing and dancing with their girls in their arms Wang Dalin feels that he finally understands the "rookie wall" thing. He feels that the reason why most first-year players hit the "rookie wall" is probably due to physical damage! Now it is very simple for Wang Dalin to solve this problem. As long as he spends all the "deposits" of 3,000 points on his physical strength, he can directly increase his physical strength to 68. Although the physical strength of 68 is not very abundant, it is definitely enough to play for more than ten minutes. However, Wang Dalin was very conflicted. He had hoped to add points to his ability points after completing task five. By then, he would have 13,000 points in one go How cool would that be? But, the current situation isif he continues to fight like this, can he still complete mission five? "Alas! There is no way!" Wang Dalin had no choice but to increase his physical strength to 68with 200 points left. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 27 Barkley wants to die again You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On November 26, the Heat had another back-to-back game at home against the Houston Rockets. When it comes to the Houston Rockets, I believe many Chinese fans have a mixed love-hate relationship. Not long ago, keyboard warriors on the Internet did not dare to type out the name of this team even though Yao Ming was still playing in this team. He has played for the team for 9 seasons (the 2009-2010 season was ended due to injury)! Fortunately, that disgusting fat man is gone. Otherwise, how could someone like Lao Wang, who writes NBA novels, avoid mentioning this team? If you talk about the greatest NBA team in the 1990s, it must be the Chicago Bulls. Under the leadership of the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan, this team won two three consecutive championships and achieved the great feat of "dual dynasties". I believe that even pseudo-fans are aware of these things, but if you ask who was the second most successful team during that period, people who know football will definitely blurt out - the Houston Rockets! Yes, this team that Yao Ming once played for also had a very glorious history. They won consecutive championships in 1994 and 1995, and reaped the biggest dividend from Jordan's short retirement. Some people say that if Jordan had not retired in those two years, the Bulls would have won eight consecutive championships, and there would have been no Rockets at all. Some people say that even if Jordan does not retire, it will be difficult to win 8 consecutive championships! There are all possibilities for this kind of thing that has never happened, no one can say for sure, but no one can discredit the value of the Rockets' two consecutive championships! In those two years, the Rockets' strength was well deserved! The leader of the team who led the team to win the championship is "Big Dream" Hakeem Olajuwon. This great center will definitely be ranked among the top five centers in NBA history no matter what. There are even many senior fans who believe that in terms of technology alone "Big Dream" should be ranked first in the history of centers! In his rookie season, he averaged 20.6 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 2.6 blocks per game. Doesn't he look like Duncan who "reached the peak of his debut"? This is why the Houston Rockets selected him as the No. 1 pick, even Jordan gave up. Although Jordan made rapid progress and gradually grew into the "God of Basketball" that everyone looked up to, the Houstonians did not regret their choice, because "Big Dream" also made his mark in the NBA for many years and led the team to win the championship. Won two championships. Unless you open your eyes before the draft, even if you make this choice 10,000 times, the number one pick will definitely be Olajuwon! "Big Dream" was born in January 1963 and is now almost 38 years old. Years of injuries have made this legendary center no longer as brave as he once was. In the 1999-2000 season, he only played 44 regular season games, 16 of which came as a substitute, averaging only 23.8 minutes per game, averaging 10.3 points and 6.3 rebounds. Last season, Patrick "Gorilla" Ewing, who had been defeated by "Big Dream" for many years, averaged 15 points and 9.8 rebounds per game! Just like the ditty sung by Guo Degang - "The sun and the moon travel back and forth to make people grow old, taking away so many people in the world" With the advent of the 21st century, the former superstars are aging one by one, and a new generation is replacing the old ones. As soon as the game started, Mason continuously attacked the inside, causing Olajuwon to foul twice in just 3 minutes, knocking the veteran off the court. Looking back, the two defenders of the Rockets, "Old Cat" Mobley and "Boss Ford", also stood out very resolutely, and the Heat's inside line was also shaky for a while. It has to be said that this season, the Rockets' "double backcourt" has super firepower and is very close to the strength of All-Star guards. Francis averaged 19.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, and Mobley averaged 19.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. Among them, "Big Brother" shot 45.1% from the field and 39.6% from three-point range. The offensive efficiency is quite good. That is to say, Yao Ming in his rookie season was still too immature. If Yao Ming in his peak period plus these "double guns in the backcourt", wouldn't this be the "Big Three"? As long as the team adds two or three defensive 3D players, is it not enough to defeat the Lakers led by a wave of "ok combinations"? Why is there any need to trade Tracy McGrady? At the end of the first quarter, the score was 21:16, with the Heat trailing by 5 points. In the NBA these days, the game pace is extremely slow, especially the Heat, which is the best defensive team in the league. How to defend well? Pat Riley¡¯s answer is to lower the pace of the game and reduce the number of offensive and defensive rounds ¨C ¡°Even if I don¡¯t score, you can¡¯t score easily!¡± After getting used to seeingIn the NBA in the small ball era, Wang Dalin was very dissatisfied with this kind of game rhythm. "This kind of extremely boring game is like an old lady's foot wrap - "smelly and long", who the hell wants to watch it? No wonder David Stern wants to support the Lakers! There are Kobe and O'Neal! Even if the pace of the game is still slow, even if the muscle stick under the basket is still entangled, their stars can perform! These days, the fans in Los Angeles are undoubtedly very happy, because "Peter Pan" has a variety of dazzling dunks in an endless stream, and "Shark" will make a thunderous dunk from time to time, and then step out The "overlord step" that no one in the family recognizes Therefore, even if the Spurs "Twin Towers" lead the team to win the championship, the price of their game tickets cannot keep up with the Los Angeles Lakers, and the ratings of the national live broadcast are even worse. No matter in any period, teams with gorgeous playing style are definitely more popular! In the second quarter, both sides sent out rotation lineups, and Wang Dalin finally came on the court. If it was the first few games, he would have played a few minutes now, but his performance in the first three games was poor, and Riley also reduced his playing time. Counting now, his position in the team's rotation has probably returned to the beginning of the season. ¡°It¡¯s just a matter of starting over, what¡¯s the big deal?¡± Wang Dalin¡¯s mentality is quite good He was originally just a fat guy who loved basketball. After traveling through time, he actually got the "Handling System" and even played in the NBA. What else is there to be dissatisfied about? The "Big Dream" of the Rockets also returned to the court. He only played less than 3 minutes in the first quarter, but he was quite energetic. Because this game has the Heat, who were third in the Eastern Conference last season, the NBA also arranged for a national live broadcast. Naturally, a pair of live broadcasts from TNT TV station appeared in the live broadcast room as scheduled. "Charles, look, Darling King is on the field. It looks like his position is centeryo! Are you going to face Hakeem?" "Haha, for a guy like him Hakeem can blast him to pieces!" "Not necessarily? Hakeem's condition this season is very bad. Didn't you watch the previous games? He is really old!" "I, Sir Charles, have always spoken with spit and nail. Let alone Hakeem, even if I go up now, I can give this Chinese boy a good lesson!" "Take it down, Charles! With your current weight of nearly 400 pounds, I think any NCAA college student can knock you out!" "Hmph! Kenny, I, Sir Charles, am definitely not a big talker! I'll bet that Hakeem will score higher than this Chinese guy in this game. Do you dare to bet?" "Haha, Charles, you are seeking death again, right? Have you forgotten what it felt like to only wear a vest and underpants during the live broadcast? Okay, I'll make it happen for you! What's the bet?" "Do you dare to kiss the other person's butt in front of the national audience?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 28 Temporary Tasks You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! When Wang Dalin faced Olajuwon, he was quite excited. Although the NBA star he admires most is the "Grim Reaper", who says a fan can't worship several "idols" at the same time? Wang Dalin, a "senior fan", has been watching the NBA since the Bulls built their second dynasty. During that period, Olajuwon's status ranked first among the four major centers. How could he not understand? In fact, when he was sitting off the court just now, Wang Dalin imagined in his mind the scene of him facing off against Olajuwon. However, he usually played the 4th position in the team, and occasionally had to swing to the 3rd position. Basically, he did not Opportunity to play center. The main reason is that Riley feels that he is too young and his body is too "thin", and he is afraid that he will be injured by the opponent's muscle stick at the 5th position. I guess it¡¯s because I saw Olajuwon¡¯s old age in this game No, it¡¯s because he¡¯s old and frail. I think Wang Dalin might be able to rely on his speed advantage to compete with him. " Two or three seasons ago, Wang Dalin would have been turned into a scumbag when he faced Olajuwon, but who made you old? In the NBA, it is normal to be bullied by newcomers when you are older! In the Heat¡¯s first attack of the second quarter, Wang Dalin reached a good position inside, and Anthony Carter hurriedly lobbed the ball to him. This kind of pass tests the skills of the point guard. If it is not handled properly, the ball may be intercepted by the opponent. Although Carter¡¯s legs and feet are getting worse as he gets older, his passing skills are still very reliable and even more sophisticated than when he was young. As soon as Wang Dalin received the ball, a "ding" sound immediately sounded in his mind, which made him tremble and almost drop the ball. "It has been detected that the host's opponent in this game is one of the top 50 players in NBA history, so the system has issued a temporary task - 'Awakening from a dream'!" "Specific requirements: In this game, the host's scoring, rebounding, and assist statistics all exceed those of the legendary superstar Hakeem Olajuwon. Completion reward: Draw a Houston Rockets historical superstar skill (S-level)!" Fortunately, in his previous life, Wang Dalin was an otaku. He would either play games or lie down and read novels at home. Those who read quickly could see the task clearly with just one glance. After reading it, the surprise in their hearts was simply endless. . If all three statistics exceed Olajuwon in this game, you can extract a Rockets superstar's skill, which is S-level! Wang Dalin was so happy that he couldn't help but gasped: "Good boy, Longdi Cave? Am I going to make a fool of myself?" Pay attention to the reward of this task and pay attention to the four words "historical superstar". There are indeed many "stars" in the history of the Houston Rockets who can be called "superstars" with S-level star skills I'm afraid I can't even count them. With Wang Dalin¡¯s knowledge base, he probably only knows Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, Harden, Drexler and the ¡°Big Dream¡± in front of him! That¡¯s right, there are probably only these 5 people who can be called ¡°superstars¡± in the history of the Rockets! With a character like Kenny Smith, even if he has won two NBA championships with the team, it is impossible to call him a "superstar", right? If he were really a superstar, he wouldn¡¯t be overwhelmed by Barkley, a ¡°fun guy¡± who has never won a championship in his life on TNT. "I wonder whose star skills I will get?" Wang Dalin was having sex happily, but the veteran Olajuwon slapped the ball away from him "Damn it! I'm so careless" Wang Dalin¡¯s ball was intercepted and he rushed to grab the second spot. As a result, the ball was snatched away by the quick-eyed and quick-handed ¡°Boss Fu¡±, who quickly dribbled the ball down. ?We all know that "Big Dream" ranks first in NBA history in blocks. He has averaged 1.8 steals per game in his career, which is definitely the first among centers. "Hahaha I'm going to die laughing!" Buckley said with a proud smile, "How dare you be so careless in front of Hakeem? This kid is really ignorant and fearless!" "I quite agree with your statement on this point!" Smith also smiled, "No one knows Hakeem better than me. His stealing skills are not much worse than blocking shots!" Francis dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without slowing down at all, and went straight to the basket. Before this goal, King Dalin had not come back. Marly followed Francis and wanted to give him a chasing block. As a result, "Big Brother Francis" showed amazing physical coordination. His height in the air and time in the air far exceeded Old Marley. "Boss Fu" succeeded in a reverse layup with an extreme pull-up. After landing, he waved his arms fiercely. It seemed that he was in the mood.?. The score came to 23:16, and the Heat were 7 points behind. In this slow-paced game, 7 points is a big gap! Wang Dalin hurriedly signaled to his teammates that the ball belonged to him. Carter is a good old guy in the team and has a good relationship with Wang Dalin. This attack dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Wang Dalin. This time Wang Dalin is going to face Olajuwon in singles. No way, back-up offense is still too rubbish. Even if Olajuwon is too old now, he is much better than him in this aspect. Ricky Davis was substituted at the end of the first quarter. So far, he has failed in all three of his shots. He only wants to perform in front of Riley. How can he be patient at this time? I saw this guy running back, throwing away Matt Bullard who was guarding him, and ran directly behind Wang Dalin. Olajuwon's attention was attracted by him and he moved slightly towards him. Wang Dalin did not hesitate and immediately made a pull-up jumper. Olajuwon was unable to defend him, and this "long-distance mid-range shot" hit the net. 23:18. "Charles, Wang made the shot, and now he leads Hakeem 2:0!" "What are you talking about? The second quarter has just started, there are still thirty minutes in the game, just wait and see how Hakeem will completely defeat this kid!" Looking back, Francis lobbed the ball to Olajuwon, hoping that his "boss" would give it to Wang Dalin. As a result, Olajuwon's back couldn't go in, and Wang Dalin happily picked up the rebound. In terms of team status, Olajuwon is undoubtedly the leader of this Rockets team, but in terms of strength now he is not even the third leader. The Heat did not seize the opportunity to launch a fast break. Carter dribbled the ball slowly across the half court, lingered at the top of the arc for a long time, and then passed the ball to Wang Dalin standing on the wing exactly the same position as before. ! Davis ran around the screen for a long time, frequently "eyeballing" Carter, but Carter would not pass the ball to him. "Who the hell is preventing you from making a shot?" Carter's thinking is simple, I will pass to whoever has a hot hand - this is what traditional point guards do these days! Wang Dalin clicked his right foot forward after receiving the ball, as if he was about to break through from the right, but Olajuwon did not move at all. At this age, "Big Dream" is becoming less and less interested in guarding against his opponent's breakthroughs. This old guy can't stand the trouble anymore. He always likes to be a little further away from the opponent when defending. With his height and wingspan, if the opponent wants to "attack" him, they must consider the "Big Dream" ranking first in the historical shot blocking list. But Wang Dalin played the ball very resolutely. He only took one step and immediately pulled up and shot, and the ball went in again. 23:20. Olajuwon¡¯s height and wingspan are okay compared to others, but a bit inadequate against Wang Dalin. "Charles, it's 4:0, what do you think now?" Smith deliberately teased Barkley. "Don't be complacent, wait and see!" Barkley still looked confident, "Hakeem will return the next goal!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 29 Time to wake up from the dream You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Unlike Barkley¡¯s bet, Wang Dalin must lead Olajuwon in scoring, rebounds and assists in order to complete this temporary task and receive rewards. So even though Wang Dalin succeeded in two consecutive attacks and temporarily led 4:0 in scoring, he did not feel that he could sit back and relax. Although Olajuwon is old, his status in the Rockets is still very high. How can the tactical resources he obtains be comparable to that of Wang Dalin, a new recruit? According to his data of 10.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game last season, and 23.8 minutes of playing time per game, as long as he performs normally in this game, it is really not a big deal to surpass Wang Dalin on the bench in the last round. Difficult things. When it was the Rockets' turn to attack, Olajuwon once again got stuck on the edge of the three-second zone, and Francis passed the ball to him in time. For this ball, Olajuwon leaned against Wang Dalin and pushed hard towards the basket. Wang Dalin tried his best but still couldn't resist, and was pushed to the basket by him. Although Olajuwon is not as strong as O'Neal, his strength is actually quite good. It should be said that the centers of that era were all good, otherwise they would not be able to survive in the NBA. Olajuwon made two consecutive fake moves, but Wang Dalin did not stun him, but raised his arms high and stayed close to him. Olajuwon had no way out, and he had stayed in the three-second zone for a long time. If he didn't take action, he would be called for a three-second violation, so he had no choice but to push Wang Dalin with his shoulder, followed by an elbow, and then forced Hook shot. "Beep" The referee blew the whistle. Olajuwon waved his elbow when he hit the ball with his shoulder, which was an offensive foul. Counting this ball, Wang Dalin defended Olajuwon three times in a row, but he succeeded in two consecutive mid-range shots. He performed well on both offense and defense. Looking back, Anthony Carter did not pass the ball to Wang Dalin, but to Ricky Davis. As a point guard, sometimesyou have to take equal measures. There is a saying, although Davis's IQ has been in arrears for a long time, his breakthrough speed is still very fast. With a change of direction in front of his body, he will leave the opponent Matt Bullard behind. After getting to the basket, he jumped up high. This posture was clearly intended for a tomahawk dunk. As a result Olajuwon lightly jumped, raised his arms high, and hit the ball with his head and face covered. It may be difficult for the aging "Big Dream" to perform high-quality on the offensive end, but his ability to protect the frame cannot be underestimated, and he can at least rank among the top 20 in the league. The ball bounced off the ground and just flew into the hands of Wang Dalin. Olajuwon hurriedly slid over to cover the defense. Power forward Maurice Taylor also came over to double-team. For a while, Wang Dalin was "a man on both sides." Wang Dalin held the ball high and flicked his wrist, and the basketball suddenly flew into the hands of A.C. Green, who was unguarded on the other side. Green raised his hand and dropped the knife, steadily hitting the wide-open mid-range shot. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? even though we not been able to score by ourselves, our assists are equally good. Looking back, Francis did not pass the ball to Olajuwon in this attack. Instead, he waved for everyone to pull away. He wanted to single out Carter. If he were facing Vince Carter, the "Toronto Dragon King" who is now at his peak, he would really not dare to make a mistake, but who is Anthony Carter? Just an older second-year rookie who entered the NBA without going through the draft! Anthony Carter, who was born in June 1975, is now 25 years old, but this season is only his second season in the NBA. He is currently averaging more than 20 minutes per game, averaging 6.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. Not as good as Wang Dalin. In the 2000-2001 season, Francis has entered the peak period of his career. His explosive physical fitness made his breakthrough extremely sharp. Although Carter is the same height as him at 188cm, his speed is not at the same level at all. Without using too many fancy dribbling moves, Francis changed his body twice and used his speed to directly beat Carter. He broke into the three-second zone and leaped high to face Wang Dalin, and saw a dunk from behind. Wang Dalin also hit the ball hard. He stood firmly outside the reasonable collision area with both feet and protected his lower body with his arms - he wanted to cause Francis an offensive foul. What a "Big Brother Fu". After he took off, he made a weird 180-degree turn in the air. He caught the ball with his right hand and passed the ball behind his back. The basketball flew past Wang Dalin and landed steadily under the basket. In the hands of "Big Dream". ¡°Damn it, that¡¯s too bad" Wang Dalin knew with his buttocks that this ball would definitely be selected as one of the best five goals this week, and his background was also certain "Clang!"Olajuwon dunked with both hands and roared after landing, as if to vent his frustration in this game. Francis also hurried over to congratulate him, giving him high fives and chest bumps. "Did you see that? Kenny!" Barkley held it in for a long time and finally got a chance to sneer, instantly turning on the climax mode, "I told you that Hakeem would come back! You have to know that he's so skinny It is a truth that a camel is bigger than a horse! Even if Hakeem is old, no rookie like Darling King can compare with him!" Smith pursed his lips and did not make any sound. It was useless to say anything at this moment. This goal was indeed quite exciting. "This ball belongs to me!" Carter came over and patted Wang Dalin's butt, saying apologetically, "Wang, don't take it personally. I'll pass the ball to you later, and you can give him one back!" Green also came over to comfort him and said: "It's okay, isn't it just a dunk? I'll set a screen for you later, and you dunk him too!" If the 18-year-old recruit Danzi doesn't pay attention to his words and deeds in the team, he will easily be ostracized by the veterans in the team, or even be targeted collectively. But if this rookie plays selflessly on the court and often buys donuts and drinks for the veterans, and is so well-behaved and sensible, the veterans will take great care of this "little brother" and even "pamper" him. ! Yes, Wang Dalin is now the "team favorite" of the Heat. Even Ricky Davis and Eddie House are quite envious of him. "Okay!" Wang Dalin was also angry and said secretly, "Even if you are one of the top 50 players in history, I have to defeat you today!" After halftime, Carter didn't waste any time this time and passed the ball directly to Wang Dalin. As expected, Green came over and gave him a single screen. Wang Dalin broke through to the basket without hesitation. Olajuwon slowly backed away while interfering with his dribbling. Unexpectedly, Wang Dalin took a step back to open up the distance, and then he pulled up and made a "iron-blooded jump shot", which looked very much like the No. 21 of the Timberwolves. . This ball was quite far away, Wang Dalin even stepped on the three-point line with one foot, but Olajuwon knew that this young man had a very good shooting range, so he fought hard to defend "Pa" - this is the sound of Olajuwon's thugs. "Whoosh" - this is the sound of a basketball passing through the hoop. "Beep" - This is the referee's whistle. At 25:24, the Heat were only 1 point behind, and Wang Dalin had to make another free throw. Wang Dalin¡¯s current free throw ability is 74, and his shooting rate will basically not be lower than 80%. It is no surprise that he hit this shot steadily. After hitting the free throw, Wang Dalin smiled slightly at Olajuwon who was about to serve a baseline kick and said: "Hey, Hakeem, it's time for you to wake up from this dream!" Olajuwon: "I" "Beep!" Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich quickly called for a tentative decision. The Heat's point-chasing momentum was too strong in the first few minutes of the second quarter, and he had to make some adjustments. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 30 McGrady¡¯s S-level star skills You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Rudy Tomjanovich, many Chinese fans are familiar with him, because he was the head coach of this team when Yao Ming first arrived in Houston. As a historical coach, he has led the Rockets to the top twice. Especially in the 1994-1995 season, the Rockets' record in the regular season was not good, ranking sixth in the Western Conference with 47 wins and 35 losses. At that time, everyone was not optimistic about the defending champion team and believed that they were likely to be defeated by the Utah Jazz in the first round of the playoffs. Tomjanovich told everyone: "Never underestimate the heart of a championship!" In the first round of the playoffs, they faced the Utah Jazz, who had Karl Malone and John Stockton, and finally won 3:2, stumbling into the second round. In the second round, their opponent was the Phoenix Suns, who had Charles Barkley, Kevin Johnson, Danny Manning, Dan Marley and A.C. Green. Compared with their strength on paper, the Rockets had only Olajuwon and Dray. Kesler is pretty good, but the other stars are not. Just like their starting point guard Kenny Smithhow can he compare with Kevin Johnson, a three-time All-Star super point guard? It should be said that that year, except for the center and shooting guard, the Rockets were at a disadvantage in other positions including the bench. The two sides played very fiercely in this round of the series. They even reached the tiebreaker. As a result, the Rockets won with difficulty 4:3. In the Western Conference Finals, the Rockets met the San Antonio Spurs. This team included the regular season MVP of that season - "Admiral" David Robinson. The Rockets' advantage in the center position when facing other opponents seemed to be gone in an instant. exists. As one of the "four major centers" in the 1990s, Robinson is definitely strong enough to rival Olajuwon. But in this series, Olajuwon averaged 35.3 points per game and shot 56% from the field. Robinson averaged only 23.8 points per game and shot 44.9% from the field. More importantly, in the last two games, Olajuwon scored a total of 81 points, while Robinson only scored 41 points. The Rockets defeated the Spurs 4:2. The opponent in the finals is the Orlando Magic, who has the young "Shark" O'Neal and "Penny" Hardaway, known as the "Successor of Jordan". This season, O'Neal averaged 29.3 points, 11.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and Hardaway averaged 20.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. The performance of the Magic's inside and outside combination was explosive. But everyone knows the ending, the Rockets directly swept the Magic 4:0 and successfully defended their title. In the four finals, Olajuwon surpassed O'Neal in scoring in each game, and scored more than 30 points in each game. After successfully defending his title, Olajuwon once again won the Finals MVP. Throughout the playoffs, Olajuwon averaged 33 points per game and shot 53.1% from the field. In addition, he also contributed 10.3 rebounds and 2.81 blocks per game. It¡¯s no wonder that the young ¡°Big Shark¡± said in an interview after the game that he was convinced of the loss. This year, he was really convinced by ¡°Big Dream¡±. But times have changed and time has passed by. In the 1996-1997 season, the Rockets signed "Flying Pig" Charles Barkley, plus "Big Dream" Olajuwon and "Glider" Drexler. The combination of the "Big Three" made the entire league One trembled. Barkley¡¯s debut with the Rockets came late due to injury, but he grabbed a career-high 33 rebounds in his first game. Barkley still struggled with injuries in the next game and only played 53 games throughout the season. This season, Barkley averaged 19.2 points per game, which was indeed a decline compared to his career average of 22.1 points per game, but he grabbed the second-highest career average of 13.5 rebounds per game! The Rockets entered the playoffs with a record of 57 wins and 25 losses in the regular season. In the playoffs, the Rockets reached the Western Conference Finals and were eliminated by the Utah Jazz 2:4. In the 1997-1998 season, Barkley's data dropped sharply due to injuries. He averaged only 15.2 points per game that season, but he still averaged 11.7 rebounds per game. In the 1998-1999 season, the Rockets signed Scottie Pippen with an average salary of tens of millions of dollars, forming the "Big Four". This season is a shortened season. Barkley participated in 42 games, averaging 16.1 points and 12.3 rebounds per game, shooting 47.8% from the field. When "Big Dream" and "Glider" are both old and frail, Pippen, who already has 6 championship rings, just wants to earn a big contract at the end of his career. He has no intention of working hard and relies solely on Barkley. ?How can fighting with all your strength be enough? Barkley was already frustrated after failing to win consecutive championships. In the 1999-2000 season, Barkley suffered a quadriceps and Achilles tendon strain and had to rest for four months until he played against the Vancouver Grizzlies on April 19, 2000. Comeback, this is also the last game of his career. After this season, Barkley officially announced his retirement. In the same year, Barkley joined the Turner Television Network (tnt) television broadcast team and became a full-time basketball commentator. Poor "Flying Pig", at the end of his career, he wanted to compete for a championship with his thigh, but he didn't expect he himself was that thigh. Last season, the Rockets had 34 wins and 48 losses in the regular season, ranking only 11th in the Western Conference. If it weren¡¯t for Francis and Mobley, a pair of young and unlimited backcourt guns, sensible Houston fans would have almost given up on them. After the timeout, the game between the two sides continued. The Rockets replaced the starting five, and the Heat's starting players also replaced, except Wang Dalin who remained on the court. Currently, the Rockets have center Hakeem Olajuwon, power forward Maurice Taylor (the one who taught Yao Ming hook shots), small forward Shanton Anderson, and shooting guard Katim Mo. Bree and point guard Steve Francis. On the court for the Heat are center Brian Grant, power forward Wang Dalin, small forward Anthony Mason, shooting guard Eddie Jones and point guard Tim Hardaway. If you don't consider the "x factor" of Wang Dalin, the Heat have already fielded the strongest lineup in the team. Of course, due to Mourning's absence and many newcomers to the team, the Heat are still far behind last year's second-best team in the Eastern Conference At least until the team is fully adjusted, they cannot regard themselves as It's a strong team. After 12 games now, the Heat are ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference with 6 wins and 6 losses. However, the Indiana Pacers, ranked eighth, and the Orlando Magic, ranked ninth, are both 5 wins and 6 losses, only one game behind them. . The main players in the team came on the stage, and Wang Dalin naturally had fewer opportunities to perform. However, he still got 3 shooting opportunities in this quarter and hit one of them. ? 1-for-3 shooting is indeed not very efficient, but coupled with the previous 3-for-3 shooting, he scored 8 points on 4-for-6 shooting in 8 minutes in the second quarter, as well as 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Olajuwon did not perform well in this quarter. He only hit 2 goals in 8 shots and scored 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. In the second half, Wang Dalin, who performed well, finally won Riley's trust again and got a total of 12 minutes of playing time. He also lived up to Riley's trust and played a very good performance in the second half. In this game, Wang Dalin made 8 of 13 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. If a senior fan looks at this data, most of them will think that it is the performance of "Little Emperor" James in a certain regular season during his rookie season. The Heat won this game as expected, with a score of 99:87. Wang Dalin was very excited after scoring more than 20 points in a single game for the first time in his career, not mainly because of his All-Star-level performance, but because he completed the task! Yes, although Olajuwon played very hard in the second half of this game, he still "only scored" 18 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Of course, "Da Meng" performed very well on the defensive end, sending 3 blocks and 2 steals, but the temporary task of the system did not require Wang Dalin to surpass him in these data. When he returned to the locker room to take a shower, Wang Dalin opened the system interface in his mind and happily extracted this S-level star skill that belonged to him: "Tracy McGrady pull-up (level S): A unique skill of Houston Rockets legend Tracy McGrady. This skill can be activated freely. When shooting, the bounce height is increased by 10%, the opponent's interference is reduced by 10%, and the shooting stability is increased by 10 %." ¡°The minimum requirements for equipping this skill are: bounce 70, medium throw 85, and strength 60.¡± When Wang Dalin saw this, he found that his ability value fully met the minimum requirements of "Maddie Qianba". He felt indescribable joy in his heart and actually sang happily. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 31 The Threat from the ¡°Big Shark¡± You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! With the Heat defeating the Rockets at home, Wang Dalin got his wish and obtained the S-level star skill of "Maddie Pull-up", and Smith also got his wish against Barkley. "Charles, are you ready to kiss my sexy ass?" When Smith said this, he deliberately stood up, reached out and slapped his ass crisply. "Kenny, are you sure you want to take off your pants and let me kiss your butt?" Buckley said with a half-smile, "You have to understand, if we do thisit seems like you will be more embarrassed than me, right?" Smith smiled and said: "So what? If you can kiss my butt, what does it mean to be embarrassed?" The smile on Buckley's face gradually froze: "Hey, man, do you really want to do this?" Smith was about to answer when the director's voice suddenly came from the headphones, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared. To be fair, even if TNT TV station always likes to create gimmicks, if Smith really takes off his pants in front of the national audience I am afraid that people from all walks of life will immediately attack him. The battle will probably be even worse than the mainstream cross talk circles that attacked Guo Degang. . Therefore, it is impossible for TNT TV station to allow Smith and Barkley to take off their pants and kiss their butts in the live broadcast room. It¡¯s really too ¡°three vulgarities¡±! In desperation, Smith and Buckley had to show off their acting skills again and performed a "bargaining" scene that was comparable to the textbook of the acting department of the film school. In the end, the two reached a consensus: Smith did not need to take off his pants, and Buckley would kiss his butt directly! ¡° This kind of harmless but extremely insulting action was only Barkley¡¯s fault in the whole process, and Smith only had to raise his butt and laugh. Although Smith did not take off his pants and Barkley was smiling the whole time when he kissed his butt, the ratings of tnt TV station during this period still increased by more than one percentage point. Wang Dalin and his teammates watched this scene on the TV in the locker room. They were all so happy that Grant almost fell to the ground with laughter. Everyone took a shower, and Riley walked into the locker room and said with a smile: "Everyone performed well today. Tim and Wang will join me for the post-game press conference later!" Wang Dalin did perform well in this game, but the MVP of this game was Tim Hardaway. He scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists. Looking at the data alone, he was slightly better than Wang Dalin. Riley was in a good mood and became more and more satisfied with Wang Dalin. He only regretted that he still had less playing time in this game. One thing he didn¡¯t know was that if he let Wang Dalin fight for a few more minutes, his physical strength would probably be exhausted. Another thing he didn¡¯t know was that the Heat would originally trade Cedric Ceballos, the former All-Star small forward, and history would have changed at this moment. Attending the NBA post-game press conference for the first time, Wang Dalin was not nervous at all. After all, he was a 39-year-old otaku in his last life. As a "senior fan" and "keyboard man", he didn't know any sharp questions. Pass? However, the Heat's press officer was still very worried about him. He held him accountable for a long time before going on the court, fearing that he would say the wrong thing when answering reporters' questions. "I would like to ask Coach Riley, when you were behind in the first quarter of this game, when you substituted Wang for the fifth position, was this a tactical arrangement specifically for Hakeem?" asked a reporter from the local Miami media "Miami Herald" . "Oh, I don't think I made any targeted arrangements, it was just the team's normal rotation!" Riley smiled, "I always think Wang is a very good rookie, and I think you have all seen his performance. Got it!" "Wang, first of all, congratulations on your outstanding performance in this game!" asked this reporter from Houston, "Excuse me, are you ready to lead the Heat in the absence of Alonzo?" What about future games?¡± This question obviously has a trap. If Wang Dalin answers "Yes, I'm ready," the media will say that he wants to be the boss of the team and sow discord among the Heat players. If he answers, "Oh, no, I'm still too young, I think I'm not ready to take on such a heavy responsibility," the media will say that he has no confidence in himself and is just a mediocre "rookie." Riley frowned slightly. He leaned forward to answer the question first, but he heard Wang Dalin beside him smile and say: "Mr. reporter, I would like to correct your question. All along, the person who has led the Heat forward is It's Coach Riley, the coach is our marshal of the Heat, and all our players are for him.A warrior on the front lines! " The Houston reporter was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn¡¯t expect Wang Dalinjing to answer so expertly and flawlessly. Riley was also surprised. The answer he had planned to answer was obviously not this answer, and Wang Dalin's answer was obviously better than the one he thought. A female reporter from ESPN asked: "Wang, you performed so well in this game, will you be able to have more playing time in future games?" Wang Dalin smiled slightly and said: "Beauty, I think you should not ask me this question, but ask our coach!" Riley smiled at the right time and said: "I regret this game a little. I should give Wang more playing time! Regarding the Heat's rotation, I have always advocated whoever performs well will play, so as long as Wang continues to play like today With his performance, he will definitely get more playing time and even enter the starting lineup!" A reporter from TNT TV station also came and asked quickly: "Wang, I believe you also know about the bet between Charles and Kenny for you. Do you have anything to say to them?" Wang Dalin laughed loudly and said: "I want to say to Kenny: Man, thank you for supporting me! As expected of a man with two championship rings, I hope you will always support me in the future Hey, man, we are on the same side! " He paused and then said: "Also, I want to say to Charles: Don't bet with me again. There is an old saying in China that 'it takes only three'. You have already lost twice. If you continue to bet, you may not succeed again." You¡¯re going to lose your underwear! I don¡¯t think the audience in front of the TV wants to see your big ass, it¡¯s too eye-catching!¡± The scene burst into laughter. ¡­¡­ After this game, the Heat pursued the victory. On November 29, they defeated the challenging Milwaukee Bucks 109:105 at home. On November 30, they defeated the New York Knicks in back-to-back games away from home, with a score of 98: 88. Wang Dalin played 23 and 22 minutes in these two games respectively, scoring 14 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and 17 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. His performance was very good. Next, the Heat will continue to fight, and the game will naturally be won or lost. On December 2, the Heat lost to the Jazz at home 92:94; On December 3, the Heat defeated the Wizards 95:90 in an away game; On December 6, the Heat defeated the Hawks 100:92 in an away game; On December 7, the Heat defeated the Nuggets 102:83 at home; On December 9, the Heat narrowly defeated the Hawks 88:84 at home; On December 11, the Heat lost 97:101 to the Kings in an away game, ending their 4-game winning streak; ¡­¡­ On December 17, the Heat defeated the Warriors 93:85 in an away game; Halfway through the December schedule, the Heat have 16 wins and 9 losses, and have quietly rushed to the third position in the Eastern Conference, behind only Philadelphia (19 wins and 6 losses) and the Milwaukee Bucks (17 wins and 8 losses). On December 20, the Heat will face the Lakers at home. Wang Dalin, who is familiar with history, knows that in the original time and space, the NBA championship this season was the Los Angeles Lakers. Their team has the current number one center in the league, "Shark" Shaquille O'Neal, and "Blackman" who is gradually showing his fangs. "Ba" Kobe Bryant, even if the role players in the team are worrying, he is still the biggest favorite to win the championship this year. For the Heat, Hardaway averaged 14.9 points and 8.2 assists per game, Jones averaged 18.8 points and 5.2 rebounds, Grant 14.5 points and 8.7 rebounds, and Mason 15.1 points and 8.2 rebounds. The overall performance was very good. Wang Dalin has also made considerable progress. He currently averages 12.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, shooting 54.2% from the field and 38.1% from the three-point range. He has firmly established himself as the team's sixth man. Most of this year¡¯s rookies have poor performance, and Wang Dalin is second only to ¡°No. 1 pick¡± Kenyon Martin in the rookie rankings. Martin averaged only 12.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, even slightly worse than Wang Dalin. The reason why he leads the rookie list should really be grateful to his status as a "local American player." It can be said that if Wang Dalin was a local American player, he would have been ranked first on the rookie list. When asked by a reporter what he thought of Wang Dalin, O'Neal, who always likes to be active, grinned widely: "I want to beat him in the game!" For a moment, Wang Dalin felt a chill on his vest and couldn't help but shiver (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 32 Let¡¯s fight and fight (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After obtaining the "Maddie Qianba", although Wang Dalin's comprehensive ability value is still 77, his offensive power on the court has become stronger. In the two games at the end of November and the 10 games in December, Wang Dalin frequently attacked with pull-up jumpers in the game, and his shooting rate was quite gratifying. It has to be said that the "Maddie dry pull" is simply perfect for Wang Dalin, and it may even be better than the results achieved by McGrady himself. There is a saying, if McGrady does not have a height of 203cm and a wingspan of 218cm, how can his pull-up be regarded as an S-level star skill? And Wang Dalin has better height and wingspan. Although most of the people defending him are the opponent's power forwards or even centers, who are taller than the people guarding McGrady, their movement speed and jumping ability are relatively incomparable. Compared to small forward. Wang Dalin finally has a "big killer" level skill, and finally feels what it feels like to "cheat". Before, he sometimes hesitated on the offensive end, but now he just shoots! It can be said that as long as his own touch is online, it will be difficult for the opponent to restrain him. The current starting power forward of the Lakers is Horace Grant. He is the third in command during the Bulls' first dynasty. He is a powerful power forward with excellent physical fitness, good defense and rebounding. Of course, now that he is 35 years old, he is no longer as brave as he once was. Last season, he averaged only 8.1 points and 7.8 rebounds per game with the SuperSonics. This season, he is averaging 8.4 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. He can only be regarded as a defensive blue-collar power forward. The substitute power forward is Robert Horry. He was born in Harford County, Maryland, USA. He plays the role of power forward and is nicknamed "bigshotrob", which translates into Chinese as "big shot Rob". Born on August 25, 1970, he just turned 30 years old this year. In his original time and space, he set a record for the most three-pointers in the NBA Finals. Until his retirement in 2009, he made a total of 56 three-pointers in the Finals. Score the ball. He has won 7 championships with the Rockets, Lakers, and Spurs. It can be said that although he has always been a role player in his more than ten-year career, his best season only averaged 12 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, but this does not affect his "greatness". Because all teams that set the championship as their goal will regard him as the perfect piece of the puzzle! Horry is 208cm tall and weighs 109kg. He has a very standard power forward figure. Although he is not the starting player of the team, and he does not even have the ability to be a starting player, everyone knows how scary he iswell, it was indeed scary in the finals! In the regular season If I don¡¯t play in such an important game as the finals, Horry said I don¡¯t bother to play! So far this season, he has averaged only 5.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, shooting 37.6% from the field, and 33.3% from the three-point range If he were not expected to perform in the playoffs and finals, Phil Jackson would probably Can pin him to the bench. These two are Wang Dalin¡¯s main opponents tonight. As for "Big Shark" O'Nealwho among these guys is willing to deal with him? Wang Dalin said: I am just a power forward, not a center! As soon as the starting lineup came out, Wang Dalin completely collapsed Damn it, what are you doing? Riley, are you crazy? Do you think I, with my small arms and legs, can carry O'Neal? The Heat's starting lineup: point guard Tim Hardaway, shooting guard Eddie Jones, small forward Anthony Mason, power forward Brian Grant andcenter Wang Dalin. To be honest, it is absolutely joyful to be able to enter the starting lineup after 25 games, but Wang Dalin cannot laugh at all. When Yao Ming faced O'Neal for the first time, he weighed at least 120kg, right? And me? 103kg? Compared with O'Neal's weight of 147kgwhat's the point? "Coach, I think you have overestimated my ability a little bit?" After the pre-game warm-up, Wang Dalin finally couldn't help but find Riley and asked, "If I attack, I can still float in the middle and long distance." Two, but on the defensive endI'm afraid I can't guard that guy Shaq at all, right?" Riley blinked and smiled: "Who in this league can guard against that guy?" Wang Dalin was stunned for a moment. Riley patted his shoulder and smiled: "Relax, Wang! I asked you to play center because I didn't expect you to be able to guard Shaq. You just need to maintain firepower on the offensive end. On defensesince you can't guard it, , then just don¡¯t be on guard!¡± "What?" Wang Dalin was stunned. Riley held the tactical board in his hand and his eyes were clear.Showing a hint of determination: "In this game, we will bombard you!" The so-called "run and gun" refers to a basketball tactical idea that takes high-speed and smooth rotation movement as the main tactical feature, emphasizes the speed of offensive and defensive transitions, and partially sacrifices the offensive and defensive capabilities of the half-court position. In a half-court open offensive system like run-and-gun, players constantly create mobile phone opportunities through movement and passing. Any player can shoot at any time from any positionas long as the opponent's defense is not in place, they can shoot at will. The 4th position of teams that play run-and-gun teams is mostly players who can shoot or are good at fast breaks. Players like "Hacker" Marion of the Suns and Jamison of the Wizards in the original time and space can shoot three-pointers and can run and jump. The first person to use run-and-gun tactics in the NBA was Don Nelson, also known as Nelson to Chinese fans. He was also Wang Zhizhi's head coach when he was with the Mavericks. Starting from the 1988-1989 season, Don Nelson served as the vice president and head coach of the Golden State Warriors. He instilled his own characteristic run-and-gun offense into the team, which was nicknamed the "Golden State Track and Field Team" by everyone. The core figures in the team's lineup, Mitch Richmond, Tim Hardaway and Chris Mullin, are collectively called "runtmc" by fans. ?? Bombardment, separately speaking, is "running" and "bombing". The first goal of "run and gun" is speed. Tireless running is a powerful weapon to wear down your enemies - at least when you are bombarding all the way forward, few people can keep up with the rhythm of a "run and gun" team. Another key point is "boom", which is the dependence on COSCO Investment. To shoot, you must have a good position, a good space, a good rhythm and a good time. In a run-and-gun tactic, as long as you have this opportunity, you cannot hesitate and must take the shot resolutely. Of course, mid- and long-range shooting relies heavily on touch, so run-and-gun tactics are often a double-edged sword. ¡°If the players don¡¯t feel good in this game and still insist on taking wild shots, they will probably be killed by themselves before they are beaten to death by the opponent The Heat's offensive tactics have always been a slow half-court attack. Riley suddenly proposed that this game should be a run-and-gun game. How could Wang Dalin not be surprised? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 33 Potential opponents in the finals (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Riley¡¯s desire to play run-and-gun was not a whim, but a countermeasure that the Los Angeles Lakers had painstakingly devised. And the reason why he attaches so much importance to the Lakers is probably because of the finals. If the Heat can really overcome the difficulties and enter the finals this year, their opponent will most likely be the Los Angeles Lakers. This possibility is at least 70%. With the current strength of the Lakers, even if Alonzo Mourning returns to the team and returns to his peak state, Riley believes that the Heat's chance of winning is no more than 20%. The Lakers have taken this slow half-court offensive and defensive strategy to the extreme, and it is almost impossible to beat them at this pace. Riley thought about many plans and finally decided to try Nelson's method. This is easy to understand - since I can't beat you at the slow pace, I might as well pick up the offensive and defensive rhythm and let everyone run! Aren¡¯t you ¡°Big Shark¡± and ¡°Peter Pan¡± awesome? It's okay, if you want to attack, I will never double-team you. If you can score, you have the ability! My players can run and shoot hard. I don¡¯t believe that a big guy like O¡¯Neal can keep up with me! As long as my players feel good, how can you defend them? Riley is confident in thinking this way - despite the fact that the Heat have been playing slow half-court offense and defense, they really have the ability to play run-and-gun. First of all, their point guard is Tim Hardaway. As mentioned earlier, in the Golden State Warriors team led by Nelson, Hardaway was a member of the "run-tmc" combination and was familiar with run-and-gun tactics. It couldn't be more familiar. Secondly, many players on the Heat have good mid-range shooting abilities. Even Mourning, who is known for his "iron-blooded defense", is not unable to shoot outside the three-second zone. Third, the Heat's starting players all have good passing abilities. When their teammates have opportunities, most of them can pass the ball in time. Fourth, the Heat's players are all very capable of running It's true that there are quite a few veterans who are over thirty years old in their team, but their speed is not slow at all. And "bombing" does not mean that players run wildly throughout the game. This tactic mainly involves players running quickly to find open opportunities to take action when attacking in the half-court position. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The game started as scheduled, O'Neal and Wang Dalin stood in the center circle to perform a jump ball. "Hey, rookie, welcome to the NBA!" When jumping the ball, O'Neal made physical contact with Wang Dalin in mid-air. The "weak" Wang Dalin was naturally defeated. O'Neal easily passed the ball to his own point guard "Little Fish" Derek Fisher. In the first attack of the game, the Lakers naturally handed the ball to O'Neal, who launched a strong attack inside. Wang Dalin tried his best to resist a little, but how could his little strength be enough? Not to mention that his strength is only 65, even if it is 85, he cannot withstand this "big shark"! Based on the force with which he was pushed out just now, Wang Dalin estimated that O'Neal's strength was at least 95, and he would not be surprised at all if it even reached the full value of 99. O'Neal dunked with both hands, and after landing, he spread his arms and took a step of "disowning his relatives" Maybe he is the only one who thinks this way of celebrating is cool? The Heat served quickly, and Hardaway dribbled past half-court at lightning speed. Seeing that O'Neal had not had time to return to defense, he quickly passed the ball to Wang Dalin, who had just reached the top of the three-point arc. After receiving the ball, Wang Dalin took a step inside the three-point line, pulled it up directly in front of the free throw line and shot the ball. The ball was shot very resolutely, and the basketball passed through the basket with a "swish" sound. The score became 2:2, and O'Neal had just returned to the top of the three-point arc "Give me the ball!" Looking back, O'Neal shouted loudly as he stuck Wang Dalin behind him at the edge of the three-second zone. Fisher glanced at Kobe, who was also asking for the ball from him on the wing, and still lobbed the ball to O'Neal - this choice was not difficult at all for the "little fish". Give Kobe Bryant a chance to play Eddie Jones in singles? Who doesn¡¯t know that Jones was your senior brother when he was with the Lakers? How confident are you that you can beat him alone? How good it is for O'Neal. Look at the "slender" Chinese rookie under the Heat basket. Can he block the splash of the "shark"? Not surprisingly, O'Neal once again succeeded in singles against Wang Dalin. Looking back, Wang Dalin caught the ball at the top of the three-point arc. This time he shot a three-pointer directly. The basketball hit Lan's neck and flew far away, and was grabbed by Mason who jumped high. "Come again!" Mason passed the ball directly to Wang in the airDalin and Wang Dalin did not hesitate to take action again, and this time the three-pointer was scored. 5:4, the Heat lead by 1 point. "Good job!" Riley couldn't help standing up on the bench and shouted loudly, "Just shoot like that!" The "famous cross talk group" from TNT TV station also started singing and harmonizing today. "Charles, Wang's touch is really good today, he has already scored two goals!" "Kenny, you have to note that Shaq is also in good shape today. He has also scored two goals, and he was 2 of 2 from the field!" "Oh, then I want to ask Sir Charles" Smith squinted his eyes and smiled, "Are you in the mood for a bet today?" Buckley frowned slightly: "Kenny, in your heart, is the great Sir Charles just a gambler?" "Is not it?" "Since you said so let's make a bet today on how many points Darling King can score in this game?" "Haha, I would like to hear the details!" "If Darling King can score more than 20 points today, including 20 points, I will kiss your feet. If he fails to do it, you will kiss my feet. How about it?" "This is quite fair, okay, I'll bet on it!" "These two guys have fully grasped the "standards" of TNT TV station. Since they are not allowed to take off their pants in front of the national TV audience, then it should be okay for us to take off our shoes and socks, right? The Lakers attacked again. O'Neal was still attacking hard in the paint. Wang Dalin still couldn't resist it. He pushed him into the basket and made a layup. The Heat's baseline ball was still so fast. Hardaway dribbled the ball quickly across half court and passed it to Wang Dalin at the top of the three-point arc. Horace Grant did not dare to ignore the ball anymore and hurriedly saved it. Wang Dalin only glanced with his peripheral vision and passed the ball to Brian Grant on the edge of the three-second zone. There was no one under the basket on the Lakers' side. Grant was so polite and jumped high into the air with a two-handed dunk. . ? 7:6, the Heat still lead by 1 point. ¡­¡­ In this way, the first quarter of the game ended quickly, with the Heat leading by 2 points at 30:28. For the Lakers, O'Neal played the entire first quarter. He scored 18 points and 6 rebounds on 9 of 11 shots. His performance was quite explosive. Kobe's performance in the first quarter was not good. He only made 2 of 6 shots in 9 minutes and scored 6 points and 2 assists with free throws. The Heat¡¯s starting five all performed well: Wang Dalin had 10 points and 2 assists, Hardaway had 7 points and 4 assists, Jones had 6 points and 1 assist, Grant had 4 points and 3 rebounds, and Mason had 3 points and 4 rebounds. After the first quarter, the two sides began to rotate their lineups in the second quarter. On the Lakers side, O'Neal, Grant and Fisher took a rest and were replaced by Medvedenko, Horry and Harper, with Kobe leading the field. On the Heat's side, Mason, Grant, Wang Dalin and Hardaway all took a rest and were replaced by Causwell, Fowler, Marley and Carter. Among the starting players, only Jones remained on the court. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 34 Begins ¡°Shark Chopping¡± (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After both sides sent out their second lineups, the game finally played a little more "normally". After all, the Heat's substitute players were not very adaptable to the rhythm of running and gunning, and COSCO's shots were not that accurate. For the Lakers, Kobe started the singles mode. He shot inside and outside and continued to attack with the ball. Eddie Jones from the Heat also started to fight with him tit for tat. They are all All-Stars. Who is afraid of who? If it is the "Black Mamba" after 2005, there are very few people in the league who can match it. It can be said that they can be counted on one hand. But now it's 2000, and Kobe is still far from his peak. This can be seen from his average of 22.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game last season. Kobe Bryant did more than this in his peak period. This season is the fifth season of his career. He is currently averaging 40 minutes per game, averaging 29.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.2 assists. Looking at the data alone, it seems that it is no different from his peak period, but veteran fans know that Kobe has not yet developed the "big killer" fadeaway jumper in the future, and most of his offense is still focused on breakthroughs. It can be said that Kobe at this period is actually similar to LeBron James in his "infancy". The breakthrough is indeed sharp, but the long-range shot is really unreliable. Like most players, Kobe is not a rookie or peak player. He was just a substitute in his rookie season, averaging only 7.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. He made great progress in the second season, averaging 26 minutes per game, 15.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists, but he is still a substitute - what is the sixth man if not a substitute? In his third season, Kobe finally entered the starting lineup, averaging 37.9 minutes per game, 19.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists. It is good enough to perform like this in the third grade, but others at the same time as him performed better. For example, Vince Carter, who averaged 25.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game last season, led the underdog Toronto Raptors to sixth place in the Eastern Conference; Kevin Garnett averaged 22.9 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5 assists per game last season. His performance was quite comprehensive, and he also led the team to sixth place in the Western Conference; Allen Iverson is even better. He averaged 28.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game last season. He not only led the team to fourth place in the Eastern Conference, but also led the team to the finals. What worries Kobe the most is he is the boss of the team! Since the start of this season, Kobe has played very fiercely, eager to score 30 or 40 points in every game. His current scoring average is higher than O'Neal. ¡°Obviously, the young and energetic Kobe is no longer willing to sit only as the team¡¯s second-in-command He wants to take the boss¡¯s position from O¡¯Neal. Of course, O'Neal is in his prime right now. Let alone Kobe now, even if Jordan three years ago was brought into this Lakers team, it would be difficult to shake O'Neal's status. Kobe and Jones went one-on-one for eight full rounds. In the end, Kobe scored 10 points on 5-of-8 shooting, and Jones scored 8 points on 4-of-8 shooting. The Heat and Lakers were temporarily tied at 38:38. The Lakers requested a timeout and replaced Kobe, Medvedenko, Fox and Harper, and replaced O'Neal, Fisher, Grant and Isaiah Leder. As a result, the Lakers' players on the court are center O'Neal, power forward Grant, small forward Horry, shooting guard Leder and point guard Fisher. The Heat also made personnel adjustments. Jones and Fowler were replaced and replaced by Grant and Hardaway, playing a dual point guard. After O'Neal came on the court, the ball was naturally handed to him. When he was dribbling, he pushed his butt back, and then Coswell was pushed two meters away with an "ah!", and the "Shark" turned around very quickly. , and a violent frame-breaking performance is about to take place. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Coswell jumped over with a diving jump, and directly hung on O'Neal. "Beep" It's impossible not to call a foul on this ball! This kind of action is like wrestling, how can it be like playing basketball? O'Neal was so depressed that he had no choice but to go to the free throw line. As we all know, although the "Big Shark" is powerful and invincible, his free throws have always been his Achilles' heel. This time he "lived up to expectations" and missed both free throws. Looking back, Grant quickly threw a baseline ball. Hardaway ran as fast as if he had a small motor on his leg. When he reached the frontcourt, he didn't wait for the opponent's defense to get into position. He opened his hand and hit a three-pointer This ball was short. Knocked on the edge of the basket and jumped high. O¡¯Neal hasn¡¯t come back yet, but Grant and Horry are both 208cm tall.Logically speaking, it is completely enough to protect this backcourt rebound. But this rebound was grabbed by Marly. He didn't waste any time after grabbing the rebound and quickly passed it to Carter on the other side. Carter made a 2-pointer with his hands. "Run and gun" actually does not mean that every ball must be launched on a fast break. The Heat's "fast whirlwind" in this game is just for O'Neal's slow retreat. If the opponent's retreat speed is fast enough, they will also adjust their tactics to a half-court offensive run-and-gun style. That is, the five players on the field will constantly move and pass the ball to look for opportunities. Once there is an opening or a mismatched opportunity, they will Will take action without hesitation. Looking back, the Lakers once again passed the ball to O'Neal to hit the inside. This time, before he could get to the basket, Coswell hugged him directly. "Beep" Another foul. "Kenny, it seems that Pat is going to 'kill a shark' today?" Barkley smiled with interest, "It seems that he has nothing to do with Shaq!" "That's rightif Alonzo was on the court, the Heat wouldn't be so passive!" Smith said solemnly, "Although it's difficult for Alonzo to restrain Shaq, he is still much better than other centers. !¡± The four major centers in the 1990s were Olajuwon, Robinson, Ewing and O'Neal. Now, except for O'Neal who is at the peak of his career, the other three have gradually aged and no longer have the courage they once had. Among the current inside players in the league, the only ones who can go head-to-head with this "big shark" are "African Mountain" Mutombo, "Stone Buddha" Duncan and "Hero" Mourning. Actually, if you have to pk, Uncle Mu, Deng Dadai and Mourning are still slightly inferior to O'Neal. The "Peak Shark" is so incomprehensible. Against him, there seems to be no other option but to "cut the shark". O¡¯Neal made one of two free throws this time, and Coswell¡¯s foul once again achieved his goal. The Heat launched a fast break again, and this time Hardaway's breakthrough layup failed. The Lakers turned around and continued to feed O'Neal. As a result, Causwell committed another foul and O'Neal made one of two free throws. ¡­¡­ In this way, the Heat launched a fast break whenever they had the opportunity. Although the shooting rate was not particularly high, the offense was quite smooth and the offensive and defensive rhythm was very fast. As for the Lakers, as long as O'Neal gets the ball near the basket, someone from the Heat will always come forward to foul him. Throughout the second quarter, O'Neal only made 6 of 14 free throws and scored only 2 points in sports games. The ball was scored despite a foul, but he failed to make the extra penalty. In the second half of this quarter, the Lakers no longer dared to pass the ball to O'Neal, because passing to him would also result in a foul and send him to the free throw line. So Kobe got more offensive opportunities, but his offensive efficiency was not high. He played only 4 minutes in the second half of the second quarter and only hit 1 goal in 4 shots. Coupled with his previous performance, he made a total of 8 of 20 shots in the half, including 1 of 5 three-pointers. In addition, he made 2 of 2 free throws and scored 19 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. O¡¯Neal didn¡¯t perform well in the second quarter, but his performance in the first quarter was explosive, scoring 26 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists in the first half. For the Heat, Jones scored 16 points and 2 assists, Hardaway had 12 points and 6 assists, Grant had 8 points and 7 rebounds, Mason had 8 points and 8 rebounds, and Wang Dalin had 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. At the end of the half, the Heat temporarily led the defending champion Lakers 64:60, which was considered a minor upset. ??And scored 64 points in the half, which also set a record for the Heat's half-time points this season. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 35 The poisonous fangs of ¡°Black Mamba¡± (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Wang Dalin played a total of 13 minutes in the first half. He made 4 of 8 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers and 1 of 1 free throws. He scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. He performed very well as a rookie. After halftime, everyone walked to the lounge. An audience member in the third row shouted loudly: "Wang Dalin, Wang Dalin" Wang Dalin was very surprised because the audience shouted in standard Mandarin, so he followed the sound and saw that the person shouting was an ordinary-looking man with glasses, and he couldn't help being stunned. There is no other reason. He knows this man with glasses, he is even quite familiar with it In his previous life, he had seen him countless times during the NBA live broadcast on CCTV Sports Channel. Su Qun is a famous sports reporter and basketball commentator in China. I believe that every basketball fan in China knows about him. At this time, Teacher Su Qun was far less famous than he would later be. He was just a reporter for Sports Weekly. He came to Miami this time to conduct an exclusive interview with Wang Dalin. In fact, very few people in China know Wang Dalin now, mainly because he appeared so suddenly. After all, Wang Dalin was just an undrafted player. What was worth mentioning in China at first was that he won a championship in the high school basketball championship. Later, the summer league and preseason games were not broadcast live on domestic TV stations. The Internet was not developed these days. Very few people are online. However, reporters are still very well-informed, especially Su Qun, a reporter with great professional sensitivity. He learned about Wang Dalin's existence from the Internet, and then through various understandings, he knew that Wang Dalin was performing very well in the Miami Heat. It could be said that he had secured his position in the main rotation, so he asked the leader for instructions to come to Miami. Let¡¯s go and do an exclusive interview with Wang Dalin. As soon as the leader heard about Wang Dalin¡¯s deeds, he immediately agreed This is an exclusive interview with the first person from China to land in the NBA. How can anyone disagree? The star interviews during halftime are very short, usually only asking two or three questions. Wang Dalin was still far from a star, so naturally he didn't dare to stay longer on the court, so the two parties left each other's contact information, and Wang Dalin hurried back to the locker room. After returning to the locker room, Riley began to lecture the players. He was very satisfied with everyone's performance in the first half, but asked everyone to continue to stick to the run-and-gun style of play in the second half: if there is an opportunity, be determined to break fast, if there is no opportunity, actively run in the half court, and when the opportunity arises, be determined to take action. . Riley then emphasized the key points on the defensive end: resolutely implement one-on-one man-to-man defense, do not double-team easily, foul O'Neal cleanly, and never allow him to score a two-plus-one. Bruce Bowen has never played in this game. The main reason is that his role on the offensive end is too small. However, as everyone's physical strength declines, it is estimated that he will definitely have a chance to play in the second half. There is no way, running and gunning must be very tiring, not only the opponent is tired, but also oneself. Wang Dalin felt that his physical exertion today was greater than usual, and he noticed that the two veterans, Hardaway and Mason, were also out of breath. After the start of the second half, Riley indeed increased the frequency of personnel rotation. Just 6 minutes into the game, Hardaway and Mason were replaced, replaced by Eddie House and Anthony Carter, and started a dual point guard tactic. Eddie House has not played in the first half yet. This is his first appearance in this game. At this time, his physical strength is still at full strength and he can run very fast. Anthony Carter's speed is also quite good. After all, he is a small man with a height of only 188cm. With this tactical change by the Heat, the overall offensive and defensive speed has increased by a few points. The Lakers still insist on playing a slow-paced half-court offense, but they must retreat quickly when defending, otherwise the Heat's fast break will not be vegetarian. Furthermore, O'Neal was affected by the "shark-killing tactic" and was always interrupted by fouls. His sports offense was greatly affected. He made 0 of 3 shots in 8 minutes in the third quarter and only scored 2 points on free throws. In order to get these 2 points, he took 8 free throws! After 8 minutes of the third quarter, the Heat already led the Lakers by 8 points, 82:74. Seeing that the score was about to reach double digits, Kobe bit his jersey and turned on the "Black Mamba Mode" and began to attack crazily. Unlike the frequent strikes in the first half, Kobe showed strong offensive strength in the third quarter. He continuously broke through the Heat's interior with the ball, not only made 3 of 4 shots from the field, but also drew fouls and won 6 free throw opportunities, scoring 13 points in a single quarter. In 2000, Kobe was definitely not at the peak of his career, but he already had very strong offensive firepower. Once his skills were smooth, he was really not much worse than Jordan back then.Just this season, just a few days ago, Kobe Bryant scored 51 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists in a single game against the Golden State Warriors on the night of December 7. The "Black Mamba"'s fangs were already showing. Today, when O'Neal was trapped in the "shark-cutting tactic" and performed poorly, Kobe, the "Black Mamba", once again showed the world his fangs that can seal his throat. If he hadn¡¯t mastered the fadeaway jump shot, he might have scored more than 13 points in this quarter. At the end of the third quarter, the score was 88:87, and the Heat only led the Lakers by 1 point. In the fourth quarter, the Lakers took the lead in replacing the starting five These days, many coaches like to bully the main players, and "Zen Master" is one of the representatives. The Heat still let the substitute lineup continue to play. Only Eddie Jones is the main player on the court. Their main players are physically exhausted and must rest more off the court. Wang Dalin played a total of 20 minutes after the three quarters. Although he scored 18 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block, the physical exertion was really huge. Originally, according to his 68 physical strength, he could last for about 23 minutes, but the pace of this game was too fast. He had to run quickly regardless of offense or defense, so he naturally tired faster than usual. Fortunately, he was replaced after playing 7 minutes in the third quarter. Now he has rested for a long time and finally "regained some blood." He has made up his mind to complete mission five after 30 games. After getting the 10,000 point reward, he must first add up his physical strength, at least to 75. According to the schedule, after today's game, the Heat will challenge the Hornets away on December 21, the Cavaliers at home on December 23, the Nets on December 24, the Pacers at home on December 28, and the Pacers on December 30. They will face the Wizards at home on Sunday and an away game against the Pistons on December 31. The game ended after beating the Pistons in 2000, and the game against the Pacers on December 28 was the Heat's 30th regular season game this season. Wang Dalin patted his face gently - now is not the time to think about this, this game is not over yet, we have to play later! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 36 The winner (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! In the last 7 minutes of the game, Riley also put all five starting players on the field. The current score is 96:98. The Heat are already 2 points behind the Lakers. It is really time for a showdown. Trapped in the influence of the "shark-killing tactic", O'Neal's performance in this game can be said to be high and low. In the first half, he scored 26 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, but in the second half, he only scored 4 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. Kobe¡¯s performance was just the opposite. It should be said to be ¡°start low and go high.¡± He made only 8 of 20 shots in the first half and scored 19 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists with three-pointers and free throws. His shooting percentage improved a lot in the second half, and he frequently went inside to draw fouls. He scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists on 5 of 7 shots. His offensive efficiency was frighteningly high. ??Moreover, Kobe has not taken a break since the third quarter, which means he "recovered" a little during the break. He is worthy of being a historical level physical monster. Wang Dalin remembers that in his previous life when he was watching Lakers games, he often saw Kobe Bryant perform a 360-degree dunk with an aerial spin in the second half of the fourth quarter. How good was his physical fitness? This is also the reason why Durant, despite being known as the "God of Death", often doesn't perform very well at the last moment of the game - he doesn't have enough physical strength! If Durant had the physical strength of Kobe, it is estimated that the Thunder would not be overturned by the Warriors when they led 3:1 in the Western Conference finals that year, and they would not be saddled with the reputation of "joining if they can't win." After playing in the fourth quarter, Wang Dalin still felt very good. He continuously relied on his teammates' pick-and-roll screens to make high-post jump shots, and scored two of his three shots. Seeing Wang Dalin score more than 20 points in this game, Smith had an instant climax: "Charles, I have taken off my socks. Do you want to kiss me now or wait until the end of the game?" Buckley: "" Kobe's three attacks on the Lakers' side also ended in two. The score between the two sides came to 100:102, and the Heat were still 2 points behind. ? Next, both sides had two offensive strikes. The game reached the most critical moment, and the defensive intensity of both sides also increased significantly. "Zen Master" called a timeout. The first is to redeploy the offensive and defensive tactics in the last few minutes. The second is to let the players calm down. After running for most of the game, everyone was very tired, especially O'Neal, a 147kg big guy who kept running back and forth with everyone, which consumed too much physical energy. Even the "peak shark" can't keep running back and forth on the court like this. His physical strength is unmatched in the world, but long-distance running is not his strong point. Later, O'Neal stayed with the Suns for a period of time, but the Suns' run-and-gun system collapsed instantly - O'Neal couldn't run, so what's the use of the other guys running fast? Wang Dalin sat on the chair and panted heavily. He knew very well that his physical strength was about to bottom out and he might not be able to perform well in the next game. But his teammates don¡¯t know, and neither does Riley. They are still praising Wang Dalin for his outstanding performance of just 2 of 3 shots! Wang Dalin is now extremely eager to have a little more physical strength, even just a few points! Just now, he was obviously stuck in position, but the rebound was still snatched by O'Neal behind him He was seriously lacking in physical strength and couldn't jump. The one-minute timeout passed quickly, and players from both sides continued to play. Seeing Wang Dalin¡¯s tired eyes, his teammates finally did not place their hopes on him - at such a critical moment, who would place their hopes on a rookie like him? Eddie Jones and Anthony Mason took over the offensive banner. In the last 4 minutes of the game, they and Kobe Bryant's "Black Mamba" were "on the same page." Hesitation was too much physical exertion, and the shooting percentages of both sides were not high in the final stage of the game. Kobe made 2 of 5 shots, Jones made 1 of 3 shots, and Mason made 1 of 2 shots. At this stage, both sides had two free throws each. The Heat made 3 of 4 free throws and the Lakers made 2 of 4 free throws. Until the last 55 seconds of the game, Kobe scored a priceless three-pointer, and then broke through the inside and caused Grant's thug to foul. Due to several "shark chops" performed previously, Grant committed 6 fouls in this game and was sent off. Backup center Causwell also had five fouls, so Riley replaced Marley at the third position, moving Mason to the power forward position. The Heat's last two offenses ended in a blackout. Wang Dalin and Hardaway failed to make three-pointers. "Beep" At the end of the game, the Heat lost 107:113. ?After losing the game, everyone was a little depressed. Even if Wang Dalin scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block in this game, he was still not happy. For the Lakers, O'Neal scored 31 points, 17 rebounds and 3 assists. The overall performance was good, but he was a little stretched in the second half. Kobe Bryant scored 47 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, especially the three-pointer at the last moment, which can be said to be the key goal to kill the game. Although the "Black Mamba" did not hit the "win or lose" buzzer beater in this game, he still killed the game. He is the winner of this game! Watching the Lakers players leave the field one by one, Wang Dalin could only see the back figure wearing the No. 8 jersey. "When can I become such a person?" Wang Dalin gradually became a little confused, "I already have a 'betting system', can't I still soar into the sky?" It seems a bit baffling, but at this moment, a familiar melody seemed to sound in Wang Dalin's mind - "I want What's the use of this iron rod? I have So what about this change? I'm still uneasy, still melancholy The golden hoop is at the head, if you want to say it, give it up" Since receiving the "ratio system", Wang Dalin has grown from an unknown undrafted player to an unshakable main rotation player for the Heat. This progress can be said to be visible to the naked eye. However, after playing 26 regular season games, he is still a little confused. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out out of nowhere, but now I still have to lie dormant for a long time, silently accumulating my strength. Even though Wang Dalin is a time traveler, he is still a little at a loss, even though he has performed better and better in these games. He returned to the locker room and took a shower. This time Riley did not take him to the post-game press conference because the Heat lost this game - Riley never likes to bring players to the press conference after losing. Let's go together and be embarrassed. On December 21st, the Heat also had an away game to challenge the Hornets, so they would fly to Charlotte early tomorrow morning. Wang Dalin quickly called Su Qun and asked him to meet at a cafe next to the arena. As soon as Wang Dalin arrived at the cafe, he saw Su Qun sitting in a seat by the window, so he walked over, said hello to him, and sat down opposite him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 37 Complete Mission 5 (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! In 2000, there was no such advanced recording equipment as a voice recorder. Su Qun still used a miniature recorder. In Wang Dalin's opinion, this thing was the Walkman he used when he was in junior high school in his previous life. After turning on the recorder, Su Qun opened his notebook and said with a smile: "Da Lin, even if we sit down and chat, you don't have to be nervous!" Wang Dalin couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Which of your eyes can see that I'm nervous?" "Okay, it seems I was overthinking it!" Su Qun couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, let's get started. First, I want to ask, what are your reasons for coming to the United States to participate? What about the NBA draft? After you won the national high school basketball championship, you should have a chance to join the CBA team, right?" Wang Dalin said: "Maybe it happened too fast? After I won the high school basketball championship, a scout from Miami came to see me. His name was Leder Ikels, and I came here after his introduction. From Miami. I think the CBA team might not have had time to find me at that time, right?" "Well, it seems that you were very confident in yourself at that time?" Su Qun smiled, "Then what were you doing after you lost the draft? Have you returned to China?" "No!" Wang Dalin suddenly remembered the scene when he was earning points on a street basketball court in Miami, and couldn't help but smile on his face, "I felt that I should be able to play in the NBA, so I contacted the assistant coach of the Heat to find him I got a chance to play in the summer league.¡± Su Qun couldn't help but sigh: "Well you had a hard time practicing football during that time, right?" Wang Dalin said calmly: "It's nothing. How can a basketball player not practice? The Heat players train a lot every time, and our coach Riley often gives us 'devil training'!" Su Qun smiled and said: "That's why you can improve so quickly! This season is your rookie season in your professional basketball career, but you have already entered the Heat's main rotation through your own efforts, and your average per game statistics and performance are very good. Do you think you are the number one basketball player in China now?" Wang Dalin waved his hands hurriedly and said: "Brother Su, aren't you hurting me? Who is the number one basketball player in China? Where am I?" Su Qun quickly asked: "But you are indeed the first Chinese player to land in the NBA. You can't deny this, right?" Wang Dalin pondered for a moment and said: "If you insist on saying that, didn't Wang Zhizhi have already been selected by the Mavericks last year? It was only a matter of time before he came to the NBA. Didn't I just come earlier?" Su Qun thought about it for a moment, then asked: "Since you mentioned Wang Zhizhi, as a pioneer, do you have any advice for him?" Wang Dalin immediately smiled and said: "Why not first? His general strength is already No. 1 in the country. What advice can I give him?" Su Qun squinted his eyes and smiled: "Dalin, we are all compatriots, you can't hide your secrets like this, can you?" Wang Dalin still smiled and said: "Okay, if you have to give me some suggestions, I'll just talk about some of my own feelings! In the NBA, it's absolutely impossible without a body. Take today's game as an example. If My physical strength will be better, and I won¡¯t be staring blankly on the field at the last moment. So I want to say that the general technique is definitely no problem, but strength and physical fitness need to be worked hard!¡± "And" Wang Dalin seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still said, "Be mentally prepared!" Su Qun was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by psychological preparation?" Wang Dalin said slowly: "Roughly, he is already the number one player in China, and even in Asia. He is the main force no matter which team he is in, but in the NBA, he is likely to have to start as a substitute. This kind of mentality The gap Anyway, I definitely don¡¯t have this problem, because I am just an undrafted player!" Su Qun said: "What you mean is that we generally don't have too high expectations, and the majority of domestic fans don't have too high expectations either right?" "That's right!" Wang Dalin seemed to have seen a glimmer of light in the darkness, and his eyes finally revealed some sparkle. "When you come to play in the NBA, you have to be patient! You have to be patient to hone your skills and wait patiently for the opportunity to play. Handle every ball patiently" This sentence is not an answer to Su Qun's question, but it is better to say that Wang Dalin is answering himself. ¡°He was quite confused after the game before, but now he seems to have suddenly realized it. Yes, since there is already a "ratio system", it is only a matter of time before his strength improves. Sooner or later, he will be able to stand among the NBA superstars, and it is not impossible to even become a new generation of basketball god.In this case, what¡¯s the use of being anxious? What's the use of being confused? ¡­¡­ After finishing this interview, Wang Dalin hurried home. Early the next morning, he flew to Charlotte with the team. In the game that night, he made 4 of 10 shots and scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. However, the Heat lost the road trip 67:72. They had just finished a fierce run-and-gun battle, followed by back-to-back games. In this game, the Heat's players were seriously lacking in physical fitness, and their shooting percentage was less than 30% - Wang Dalin's 12 points were actually the team's total. At the highest level, it is actually a bit ironic. On December 23, the Heat returned home to face the Cavaliers. In this game, everyone finally returned to form, especially Eddie Jones, who scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, playing like an All-Star shooting guard. Wang Dalin only scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, which is considered an average performance. On December 24, the Heat challenged the Nets away from home. That night, amidst the boos of more than 19,000 fans at the "Continental Airlines Center" in New Jersey, the Heat generals withstood the pressure and showed their momentum as the third strongest team in the Eastern Conference. They maintained the lead from beginning to end and finally defeated 90:84. opponent. After this game, the Heat got a "rare" 4-day break until they faced the Indiana Pacers at home on December 28. During this period of time, we were beaten twice back to back, and everyone was very tired. Although Riley is not the kind of coach who beats the main players, after all, the main players will still have more playing time, especially Hardaway, Jones, Mason and Grant, who average more than 36 minutes per game. It is true. It consumes a lot. In fact, from the perspective of Wang Dalin, a time traveler, if the playing time of these four is reduced to about 30-32 minutes, more playing time can be given to Eddie House, Ricky Davis, and Dan Marley. , the Heat's situation should be much better. Although the "Magic Operator" is definitely a famous coach in history, he still failed to break the coaching habits of this era. It feels good to fuck the main force hard for a while, but when injuries sneak up on you, you realize you regret it. Isn¡¯t this right? After playing against the Nets, Hardaway and Mason felt knee discomfort during training. They could only miss the home game against the Pacers. Fortunately, Jones and Grant both showed their strength in this game, scoring 49 points, 18 rebounds and 7 assists together. Wang Dalin also performed well. The Heat finally defeated the Pacers 91:79. After the game, Wang Dalin suppressed his excitement and received the 10,000 point reward for task five. Increase your physical strength! What are you waiting for? He immediately increased his physical strength to 75 and spent 5,200 points It was so expensive! ¡°Then he turned his attention to three-pointers Now he can only shoot wide open shots from outside the three-point line, and his shooting rate is only a little over 35%. The three-point ability value of 69 is obviously still low. As a time traveler who came back from the small ball era, how can you not understand the importance of the three-pointer? In the range of 60-69, each increase in the three-point ability value requires 500 points, while in the range of 70-79, each increase in points requires 1,000 points I have to say that Wang Dalin is a little bit heartbroken! "I can't bear to let my child catch the wolf, so I'll fight hard!" With a cruel stomp, Wang Dalin spent all the remaining 5,000 points on three-pointers, and his three-point ability value also increased from 69 to 74. "Now if we encounter that kind of wide-open opportunity again, we should be able to hit 40%, right?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 38 The strength of the top pick in the draft (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! "Host: Wang Dalin" ¡°Date of birth: March 17, 1982¡± "Height: 211cm, weight: 105kg, wingspan: 231cm" "Position: small forward, power forward, center" "66 close-range shots, 61 cut layups, 58 cut dunks, 55 in-situ dunks, 43 post-up hook shots, 37 post-up fadeaway jumpers, 85 mid-range shots, 74 three-pointers, 74 free throws, 33 post-up moves, and passes. Ball accuracy 69, passing vision 62, ball control 58, dribbling speed 68, receiving ability 73, inside defense 65, outside defense 42, steals 48, blocks 73, shot interference 70, offensive rebounds 47, defensive rebounds 66, Lateral agility 66, speed 72, acceleration 71, strength 65, jumping 73, and physical strength 75.¡± "Comprehensive durability 99" "Potential value: 99" "Equipment skills: One leaf blinds the eyes (a level), McGrady dry pull (s level)" "Comprehensive ability value: 79" Wang Dalin has attached great importance to physical training in the past two months, so he has gained 2 kilograms in weight and looks a little stronger than before. And as he increased his physical strength from 68 to 75, and his three-point ability from 69 to 74, his comprehensive ability value increased by 2 points in a row, reaching 79. Of course, he had slightly improved his physical strength from 61 to 68 before. Although his comprehensive ability value was still 77, it was actually very close to 78. In this way, it is normal for him to directly reach 79 after this wave of improvement. According to Wang Dalin¡¯s previous experience in playing games, the number one pick in the NBA draft every year is probably at this level, and the overall ability value basically ranges from 78-82. Of course, some No. 1 picks in younger years are not that good. For example, in 2000, the overall ability value of No. 1 pick Kenyon Martin during the draft was estimated to be less than 75! There are very few top picks in the draft who are like "entering the village with a full level number", which can be said to be "the peak when they debut", such as "Big Dream" and "Deng Dadai", their overall ability value as a rookie will never be lower than 88 ! All in all, Wang Dalin's current strength should be similar to that of the average number one pick in the draft. It is definitely far superior to Michael Olowokandi, Kwame Brown and Anthony Bennett, and should not be better than the number one pick in the draft. Andrew Bogut, Andrea Bargnani and Derrick Rose had jet lag during their rookie seasons. Even Yao Ming, Wang Dalin thinks that he won't be much worse than him. After all, in his rookie season, Yao Ming only averaged 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, which is about the same data as Wang Dalin. He now averages 11.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 30 games, shooting 48.2% from the field, 35.4% from three-point range, and 80.2% from free throws. Wang Dalin is confident that by the end of the season he will definitely not be able to produce more than this data. After all, he has averaged less than 20 minutes per game so far! At present, there is only one task left for him in the fifth stage, which is to "be selected into this season's NBA Rookie All-Star Team." He is not worried about whether he can be selected. There are only three rookies this year who average more than 10 points per game. Apart from Wang Dalin and Martin, the only other rookie is Mike Miller of the Orlando Magic. He averaged 11.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, but he averaged 29 minutes per game, while Wang Dalin averaged less than 20 minutes per game. Among all the rookies this year, Wang Dalin averages third in points per game, second in rebounds per game, and first in assists per game. If he is not selected for the Rookie All-Star Team, then there is something wrong! It has to be said that the strength of this rookie class in 2000 is really weak. In the original time and space, Mike Miller won the Rookie of the Year award, but his averages were only 11.9 points, 4 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. With this kind of performance, if we count the NBA Rookie of the Year winners in each year, counting 20 years ago and 20 years back, we have never seen such a bad performance! The results of the first round of the NBA All-Star voting have been released. Vince Carter of the Raptors currently tops the list of votes. Other stars such as O'Neal, Iverson, Kobe, McGrady, Garnett, Duncan, Webber, Kidd and others All are on the list. It is worth mentioning that Alonzo Mourning has not played a single game this season, yet his vote count ranks first among centers in the Eastern Conference. This is nonsense. Ranked second is "Uncle Mu" of the Philadelphia 76ers. His votes were at least one-third less than Mourning Obviously he is not popular! Wang Dalin didn¡¯t pay too much attention to this. After all, the All-Star lineup is still too far away from him. At least this season, he will definitely have no chance. He should still think about how to play in the All-Star Rookie Game. The NBA All-Star Rookie Game only started in 1994. It has been revised many times. The first game was called "Genius Team" and "Passion Team", which was full of second-tier atmosphere. The second sessionThe names of the two teams in the competition were changed to "White Team" and "Green Team". The second-class aura disappeared, and the diaosi aura was instantly filled. In the next three years, it was changed to a competition between the Eastern and Western rookie teams. For example, in 1997, Iverson led the Eastern team to defeat the Western team led by Kobe Bryant 96:91, and won the MVP of the rookie game. Beginning in 2000, the rookie game was changed to a rookie team vs. sophomore team format. This model was used for many years until it was revised again in 2012. The 2001 All-Star Rookie Game is a model where a rookie team challenges a second-year team. Since the strength and experience of the rookie players are obviously not as good as the second-year players, generally speaking, the rookie team cannot beat them. ?????????????????????? However, this kind of competition is still mostly a performance, so the second graders won¡¯t really play it to death, and they will still save some face for the rookies. Of course there are exceptions sometimes, such as in 2000, 2002, 2010 and 2011 when the rookie team defeated the sophomore team. So Wang Dalin really wants to do something in the rookie game. If he can lead the rookies to defeat the second-year team, no matter when it comes in the future, these will be bragging rights. Of course Wang Dalin also knows that this is too difficult. The main reason is that this year's rookie team is too weak. Compared with the second-year team, I don't know how much worse it is. You know, most of the members of this year¡¯s second-year team happened to be members of the rookie team that defeated the second-year team last year Think of the names: Elton Brand, Steve Francis, Baron Davis, Lamar Odom, Wally Szczerbiak, Richard Hamilton, Ann Andre Miller, Shawn Marion, Jason Terry, Corey Maggette, Ron Artest, Andrei Kirilenko Although this batch of rookies in 1999 did not have the kind of historical superstars, most of them have been selected to the All-Star team in their careers, and some have been selected to the All-NBA Team or the Best Defensive Team. Their personal strength level is definitely not the same. Low. In Wang Dalin¡¯s opinion, this group of people can even be compared with the ¡°96 Golden Generation¡± or the ¡°03 Platinum Generation¡±. Both sides are calculated based on their peak period. If they really want to fight, it's really impossible to say who will win and who will lose! ??Looking at the rookies in 2000, apart from Kenyon Martin, Mike Miller, Jamal Crawford, Hedo Turkoglu and Michael Reed, who else can have some cards? Reed is the only one who has actually been selected to the All-Star team, and Crawford has won the "Best Sixth Man" award many times. The strength of the others is really not enough. Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but feel a headache when he thought of this With these rotten sweet potatoes and rotten eggs, what could he use to defeat the second-year team? Of course, what worries him more now is not this, but the matter of taking the driver's license test (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 39 Driving License Test (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! In fact, Wang Dalin bought a car a long time ago, but he just didn¡¯t take the driver¡¯s license test Some time ago, he was busy playing games and participating in training, and when he had a little free time, he basically stayed at home. By the way, as early as mid-November, he changed his residence and moved to an apartment near the University of Miami. He lived alone and rented a one-bedroom apartment. The indoor area of ??this apartment is quite large, more than 80 square meters, with all kinds of furniture and electrical appliances complete, and the overall condition is quite good. Of course, you get what you pay for. The monthly rent for this apartment is $1,200, which is much more expensive than his previous rental. Fortunately, Wang Dalin has received his salary now, and the monthly rent of US$1,200 is nothing to him. What Wang Dalin is most satisfied with is that this apartment has an extra-long bed. It is said that the last tenant of the apartment was a basketball player at the University of Miami, so he customized an extra-long bed for himself. Later, after graduating from college, he After leaving, I left the bed to the landlord. Wang Dalin¡¯s previous bed was just an ordinary bed. He couldn¡¯t straighten his legs while sleeping. Now that he has changed his house, he can finally straighten his legs while sleeping. Eddie House also rented an apartment here and became a neighbor to Wang Dalin. Although Eddie House said that he rented here because of the good environment, Wang Dalin always thought that this guy just wanted to have the opportunity to see more girls from the University of Miami. Yes, there are many students from the University of Miami living in the apartment building here, and there are so many young and beautiful girls among them. Even Wang Dalin feels that renting here is a good idea. Wang Dalin still doesn¡¯t know that in later generations, a certain gossip media in the United States once conducted a selection to select which college in the United States has the most beautiful girls. As a result, the University of Miami ranked seventh in the United States. And it is only about 5 kilometers away from the "American Airlines Center" arena. It can be reached in ten minutes by bicycle. Some time ago, Wang Dalin was riding a bicycle to and from the arena. "However, as a public figure, especially as an NBA player, you should pay attention to your cards. Riding a bicycle all the time is indeed a bit pricey. Eddie House told Wang Dalin several times, urging him to buy a car. He himself thought it was time to buy a car, so he bought a Ford F-150, which is also known as the "Raptor" in China. Wang Dalin is so tall, his first consideration is the comfort of driving and riding. If you buy a car with a small interior space, you don¡¯t know how uncomfortable it will be! Although the "Raptor" pickup truck is classified as an agricultural vehicle in the United States, Wang Dalin just likes that it is big enough - not only does it look big on the outside, but it also has enough space inside. " If you buy such a car in China, you will need at least 500,000 soft sister coins, and it was basically unavailable at this time in 2000. At least Wang Dalin saw this kind of car in Chongqing after 2010. It is indeed cheap to buy a car in the United States. Wang Dalin bought this 1997 F-150 for less than US$30,000. Since you have bought a car, you have to take a driver¡¯s license test. In fact, it is very easy to get a driver¡¯s license in the United States. Driving licenses in the United States are issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The Department of Motor Vehicles is a functional department of the government. It is responsible for the registration, renewal and accident handling of motor vehicles, and is responsible for the issuance and renewal of driver's licenses. Before applying for the written test for a driver's license, you should go to the automobile inspection office near your place of residence to pick up a copy of the state's "Motor Driver's Rules Manual" and study it first. When you are ready with the traffic rules, you can go to the DMV to apply for a driver's license. If you want to save time and avoid long lines at the DMV, you can call in advance to make an appointment. Wang Dalin has read Florida's "Driver's Rules Manual" no less than three times. Fortunately, Eddie House often gives him some guidance. Otherwise, it would be impossible to rely on his current English proficiency with these two knives. Completely understand the law. Wang Dalin did not pass the first written test because he was still not familiar with the "Car Driver's Rule Manual", so he became familiar with it for a while and passed the second written test smoothly. After passing the written test and receiving the "Learner's Permit", you can start practicing driving under the supervision of a person with a valid driver's license. If you already have driving experience, you can ask a friend with a driver's license to help; if you have no driving experience at all, you must still enroll in a driving school. Wang Dalin had a driver¡¯s license in his previous life, but his driving skills were not particularly good. In this life, he did not take the driver's license test. After all, he had just turned 18 when he was in China. He came to the United States directly after competing in the high school national competition and did not have time to take the driver's license test. Since there is already a certainWith his driving experience, Wang Dalin naturally did not waste resources and directly called Eddie House to help. As long as they are not playing games or training, these two guys will get in their cars and wander around Miami. Of course, the road they travel the most is near the University of Miami. The road conditions here are good and there are not many cars on the road. The most important thing is that you can feast your eyes while driving. Wang Dalin adapted very quickly, because the driving position of American cars is also on the left, and they also drive on the right, which is the same as in China. In fact, Wang Dalin's driving skills are really good in Miami. After all, his hometown is a famous "mountain city" in China, and the complexity of the road conditions can be ranked among the best in the country. Miami has good road conditions and a small population. How difficult is it to drive here? According to the 2000 U.S. Census, the total population of Miami is only 362,470, which is not as large as the population of a district in Chongqing. Now that your driving skills are good, it¡¯s time for the road test. Eddie House helped Wang Dalin register on the DMV official website, and there were quite a few people who registered for the road test. Wang Dalin's road test is scheduled for January 6, a day when the Heat will not have a game. On the day of the road test, the weather in Miami was as sunny as ever. Wang Dalin arrived at the test location early and saw that today's examiner turned out to be a blond beauty in her thirties, and he couldn't help but smile. "Hello!" The beauty greeted him, "My name is Sarah Paige, you can just call me Sarah!" "Sarah, hello, my name is Wang Dalin!" Wang Dalin also smiled. "I know you! You are a player for the Heat. I went to watch your game live. You played very well last night!" "Thanks!" With one game after another, Wang Dalin has become somewhat famous in Miami, and many citizens like Sarah know him. "Okay, let's get started!" Sarah first checked the lights, turn signals, brake lights, horn, emergency lights and other functions of Wang Dalin's car, and then sat in the passenger seat. Wang Dalin skillfully started the engine and put it into gear, and then started driving along the road under Sarah's command. The road test lasted for a total of ten minutes. Apart from instructing him to turn left, turn right, change lanes, etc., Sarah spent the rest of the time chatting with him. It¡¯s obvious that Sarah is a Heat fan, and her favorite is Tim Hardaway. Of course, she also admires Wang Dalin and thinks he will definitely win the Rookie of the Year award this season. There is indeed nothing wrong with Wang Dalin's operation. After the exam, Sarah naturally signed "passed" on the grading paper he gave him. Then he said goodbye to Sarah and went to DMV to hand over the scoring test paper to the counter staff and get a temporary driver's license. The official driver's license will be mailed to him within two weeks. After getting his driver¡¯s license, Wang Dalin called Eddie House to his home in the evening, and the two had a meal and drink to celebrate. Wang Dalin cooked all the dishes for this table. Eddie House doesn't know how to cook. According to Chinese saying, he "can't do anything except instant noodles." Wang Dalin had been an otaku for many years in his previous life and had developed quite exquisite cooking skills. Eddie House almost couldn't swallow this table of delicacies. The Heat have already played two games in January. They lost to the Spurs on the road on January 3, and then defeated the Nets at home on January 5. On January 7, the Heat will face the Celtics at home. Riley has already made clear the starting lineup. Wang Dalin will start at center (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 40 Adding insult to injury (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! This season, due to Wang Dalin's "intrusion", the Heat have been very different from the original time and space, and their offensive tactics have become much richer. In the original time and space, the Heat did play well this season, and even ranked third in the Eastern Conference with a record of 50 wins and 32 losses. With the "spirit of the team" Alonzo Mourning only playing 13 regular season games due to kidney disease, the Heat only won 2 fewer games this season than last season. It has to be said that Pat Riley, the "magic calculator" "It is indeed well-deserved. But to be honest, basketball in the 1990s was really ugly! More than half of the teams in the league play at an extremely slow pace, averaging only 60-70 shots per game. The court is filled with the sound of muscles clashing among inside players, as well as continuous fouls, small moves and trash talk To be honest, although the Heat reached third place in the Eastern Conference in the original time and space, they were not welcomed by president David Stern at all - "It's so ugly, what do you want me to do to attract more fans?" ?¡± But the situation has changed in this life, and the Heat's game is better. Because Wang Dalin¡¯s mid-range jump shooting ability is ¡°very good¡±, Riley specially designed several sets of cover tactics for him to facilitate him to temporarily get rid of the opponent¡¯s defense when catching the ball in the mid-range. Some fans will say: Wang Dalin¡¯s shooting percentage is just over 47%. As an inside player, he seems to be unqualified, right? Yes, although the shooting percentage of outside players is generally not high these days, the shooting percentage of inside players is still basically 50%. After all, the closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score. This is an eternal truth! Butif you exclude Wang Dalin's shots from outside the three-point line and the three-second zone, you will find that his mid-range shooting percentage is as high as 50.5%. This hit rate is really not low, it is not an exaggeration to even call him a "CIC handsome boy"! So since the Heat's "run and gun battle" against the Lakers on December 20, 2000, Riley has often arranged for his teammates to provide pick-and-roll screens for Wang Dalin during the game. Due to the tilt of tactical resources, Wang Dalin's average shots per game increased by at least 3 times, and his average points per game also increased a lot. On January 7, the Heat played against the Celtics. Wang Dalin played for 30 minutes and made 10 of 21 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, 8 of 10 free throws, and scored 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists. . This game was the first time in Wang Dalin¡¯s career that he scored 30 points in a single game, and it was also the first time he had a ¡°double-double¡±. Being able to get 30 minutes of playing time is of course inseparable from Riley's growing trust in him, but it is mainly because Eddie Jones is injured. It was this game. Less than three minutes into the game, Eddie Jones sprained his ankle while trying to grab an offensive rebound and was forced to leave the game. So Wang Dalin got more opportunities in this game. Even the rookie Eddie House played 15 minutes. After all, Hardaway's knee injury was not optimistic. He only played in this game and could not play. to 20 minutes. Fortunately, the Heat still won the game, and it was a big victory, with a score of 112:86. The day after the game, Eddie Jones¡¯s MRI report came out. He had a first-degree sprain of his left ankle joint and needed to recover for at least 2-3 weeks, maybe longer. Eddie Jones is currently averaging 18.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. He is the current "scoring leader" of the Heat. His absence is undoubtedly bad news for the team. Having no choice but to mention Bruce Bowen to the starting lineup, Riley hopes that his excellent defensive ability can bring some help to the team. It would be okay if only Jones was absent. After all, everyone has seen Wang Dalin's progress during this period, and everyone believes that the team's record will not be greatly affected. But Grant was injured again during the home game against the Warriors on January 9th! He suffered a serious shoulder muscle strain and will need to recuperate for at least 4 weeks. This is simply adding insult to injury for the Heat. Riley has even mentioned Duane Causwell, the backup center, to the starting lineup, and together with Wang Dalin, he has supported the Heat's currently weak inside line. The Heat won the game against the Warriors, but they suffered an unprecedented four-game losing streak later. On January 11, the Heat lost to the Celtics in an away game, with a score of 78:88; On January 14, the Heat faced the Pacers away from home and suffered a losing streak, with a score of 71:87; On January 15, the Heat lost to the Bulls at home, with a score of 90:88; On January 17, the Heat lost to the Pistons at home with a score of 86.?83. In these four games, Tim Hardaway averaged 17.5 points and 9.5 assists per game, Anthony Mason averaged 19 points and 10.5 rebounds per game, and Wang Dalin averaged 16.5 points and 8 rebounds per game. They tried their best, but they still lost the game. Without the two generals Eddie Jones and Brian Grant, the Heat's strength has indeed declined, and both offense and defense have dropped by at least one level. Causwell is just a backup center. He averages only 3.5 points per game. How can he replace Grant, who averages 14.8 points per game? And Eddie Jones averages 18.2 points per game, who can fill such a big scoring gap? After four consecutive losses, Riley mentioned Eddie House to the main rotation. This rookie is always full of fighting spirit, and his impact is very good, but his shooting ability is too high, and he is far from growing into the future Boston. That excellent backup guard next to the Big Three. On January 19th, the Heat challenged the Trail Blazers away from home. The two sides played a very fierce game. On the one hand, the Heat have suffered four consecutive losses, and they really cannot afford to lose. On the other hand, the Trail Blazers have struggled this season and are currently ranked eighth in the Western Conference. They are only 1 game ahead of the ninth-ranked Rockets. Losing any game may cause them to fall out of the top eight in the Western Conference. The two sides fought hard in this game Tim Hardaway¡¯s breakthrough layup was slapped in the face by Rasheed Wallace. He was hit on the spot with a broken brow bone and blood flowing all over his face. When Arvydas Sabonis was fighting for a rebound, Coswell hugged him and threw him straight to the floor. He almost died on the spot. Anthony Mason stepped up under the basket, but was hit in the heart by Bunchy Wells with an elbow. He came off the court and took a full half-quarter to recover. Scottie Pippen "accidentally" stepped on Bruce Bowen's foot when he landed a mid-range jumper, spraining his ankle and being replaced. ¡­¡­ No doubt, this is the NBA in the 1990s and the NBA in the early 21st century. This is how they "played" basketball at that time. Wang Dalin dared to use his handsome face to bet that if he did not have a comprehensive durability of 99, he would probably have to stop playing due to injury after playing 10 games. Although the game was full of gunpowder, the players from both sides still did not fight after all. The game finally ended with a stumbling block. In the end, the Heat won with difficulty 82:78. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 41 Touch your head (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After winning the "flesh and blood" battle with the Trail Blazers, the Heat lost to the Vancouver Grizzlies in back-to-back away games on January 20, with a score of 83:89. On January 22, the Heat challenged the Lakers away from home. Amid the enthusiastic cheers of 19,000 home spectators at the Staples Center, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant teamed up to score 65 points, 16 rebounds, 5 steals and 4 blocks, completely defeating the Heat. The final score of this game was 103:92. The point difference did not seem to be big enough to embarrass the Heat players. But anyone who has watched the game will know that at the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led by 19 points, 88:69, and the entire fourth quarter has become garbage time. On January 25, the Heat, who returned to their home court, finally won. They defeated the Toronto Raptors who came to challenge 98:83. In this game, Raptors boss Vince Carter performed a little abnormally. He made 8 of 13 shots from the field, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 21 points, but his rebounds and assists were somewhat lacking. He only scored 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the game. For the Heat, Anthony Mason had 25 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, Tim Hardaway had 22 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, and Wang Dalin had 20 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. All three of them performed better than a "demigod" in this game. . After finally winning a victory, the Heat generals are very happy. After the game, Mason even opened the champagne and sprayed everyone in the locker room. Even Riley was not spared, and the expensive "Armani" suit on his body got a large area wet. "Compared to his teammates, Wang Dalin is the happiest one, because just today, the league just announced this year's Rookie All-Star lineup, and Wang Dalin was on the list. Since he has been selected for the Rookie All-Star Team, Wang Dalin has naturally completed the last task of the fifth stage and obtained Tim Duncan's exclusive S-level star skill "Touch Your Head". Wang Dalin had a hunch when he saw the reward for this task. This "touch your head" should be the function he was thinking of Sure enough, the "cheating system" is indeed quite disgusting! "Touch your head: NBA legend Tim Duncan's unique S-level skill. Touching a teammate's head during the game can increase all the ability values ??of the teammate by 5%-15% within 20 minutes. If there is an ability value If it exceeds 99 after the increase, it will be calculated as 99." "Note: This skill can only be used on one teammate per game, and the teammate's hair growth function will be irreversibly damaged after being applied by this skill. Please use it with caution, host!" Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but smacked his lips after reading the detailed introduction of the skills. No wonder Deng Dadai touches Ginobili's head every time, as if a layer of "buff" is applied to him, and he always performs like a god. No wonder Ginobili was still a "Pampas Eagle" with long hair when he first entered the league. Within a few years, he became a "Pampas Condor". What does this mean by "touching your head"? This should clearly be called "Pull out your hair"! ??????????????????????? But this move is indeed an S-level star skill, and the effect is indeed very powerful, but it is a bit sorry for his teammates Wang Dalin is already thinking about whose head he will touch in the next game. On January 28, the Heat challenged the Magic away from home. In the first half, the Heat temporarily fell behind 35:38. Before the start of the second half, Wang Dalin took the opportunity to touch Anthony Mason's head, mainly because he felt that this guy was bald and it didn't matter whether he had long hair or not. As a result, Mason really broke out. In the third quarter, he made 6 of 8 shots, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 14 points and 6 rebounds. In the fourth quarter, this guy was still in strong form. In the first 6 minutes, he made 5 of 6 shots and scored 12 points and 4 rebounds. By the second half of the fourth quarter, the game had entered garbage time, and Mason was naturally replaced. In the end, the Heat defeated the Magic 88:63. Mason did not have any outstanding performance in the first half. He only made 1 of 3 shots in the half, and he only scored 4 points and 3 rebounds including free throws. But in the second half, he suddenly broke out. He made 12 of 17 shots in the game, plus 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 30 points and 13 rebounds, leaving Riley on the bench stunned. Wang Dalin was also a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that "touching your head" would be so powerful. In fact, this is normal. For example, a player's offensive ability value is as follows: 85 for close range shooting, 80 for cutting layups, 78 for cutting dunks, 75 for standing dunks, 82 for back-up hook shots, 76 for behind-the-back fadeaway jumpers, and 76 for mid-range dunks. 77 shots, 75 three-pointers, 78 free throws, and 80 post-ups. An improvement of 15% would be: 98 for close range shots, 92 for cut-in layups, 90 for cut-in dunks, 86 for in-situ dunks, 94 for back-up hook shots, and 94 for behind-the-back layups.87 field goals, 89 mid-range shots, 86 three-pointers, 90 free throws, and 92 post-up moves. This is almost the same as Durant! If it is a player who is already very good at defense, such as Bruce Bowen in the Heat's current team, once his defensive ability value increases by 15%, this guy will definitely be able to defend against the likes of Kobe and Tracy McGrady. Butterfly"! Of course, Anthony Mason's outburst this time was still very lucky. Wang Dalin estimated that he directly reached the upper limit of the ability value that the skill can increase, which is 15%. If a little back only increases 5% of the lower limit, the effect will not be obvious. In any case, after "Touch Your Head", the Heat's subsequent games went much smoother. They first defeated the Rockets, Mavericks and Hawks on the road, and then won the Knicks and Pacers at home. The losing streak was followed by a wave of seven consecutive victories. In these games, Wang Dalin touched Hardaway, Mason, Marley and Bowen all over the place. Mason alone was touched three times. After defeating the Pacers on February 7, the Miami Heat's next game will be against the Los Angeles Clippers at home on February 14. The players finally breathed a sigh of relief and could take a good rest. They can rest, but Wang Dalin can¡¯t because he still has to go to Washington to participate in this year¡¯s All-Star Weekend. The 2001 NBA All-Star Weekend lasted for three days, starting with the rookie game on the evening of February 11th, followed by the three-point shooting contest and dunk contest on February 12th, and finally this year's NBA All-Star Game on February 13th. Star race. Wang Dalin is going to participate in the rookie game. The Heat also has Eddie House who was selected to the All-Star Rookie Team with him. It stands to reason that Eddie House had no chance of being selected. However, during this period of time, Jones and Grant were injured in the Heat. House got a lot of playing time and performed well, so he was selected by the coaches of each team. This year's rookie team. ? ? One more thing, the starting lineup for the NBA All-Star Game that year was voted by the fans, and the bench lineup was voted by the coaches of each NBA team. Before 2012, the members of the rookie game were also selected by the coaches of each NBA team. Judging from his performance since the start of this season, Eddie House's performance is not very good, but he has indeed performed well in the last dozen games. It is estimated that the coaches have a bit of "impression flow" when voting. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 42 Do you want to cause trouble? (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! In 7 consecutive games, Wang Dalin touched Hardaway, Mason, Bowen and Marley all over. Mason alone was touched three times by him, which fully exerted the effect of "touching your head". After defeating the Pacers on February 7, the Miami Heat's next game will be against the Los Angeles Clippers at home on February 14. The players finally breathed a sigh of relief and could take a good rest. They can rest, but Wang Dalin cannot, because he has to go to Washington to participate in the All-Star Weekend Rookie Competition, and Eddie House also has to go with him. It stands to reason that Eddie House had no chance of being selected. However, during this period of time, Jones and Grant were injured in the Heat. House got a lot of playing time and performed well, so he was selected by the coaches of each team. This year's rookie team. ??One more thing, the starting lineup for the NBA All-Star Game is voted by the fans, and the bench lineup is voted by the coaches of each NBA team. Before 2012, the members of the rookie game were also selected by the coaches of each NBA team. At the beginning of this season, Eddie House's performance was not very good, mainly because he played too little time. But he has indeed performed well in the last dozen games, and I guess the coaches have a bit of an "impression flow" when voting. The 2001 NBA All-Star Weekend lasted for three days, starting with the rookie game on the evening of February 11th, followed by the three-point shooting contest and dunk contest on February 12th, and finally this year's NBA All-Star Game on February 13th. Star race. Wang Dalin and Eddie House flew to Washington on February 9th, and they had to participate in the rookie team training on February 10th. The members of this year¡¯s rookie team are: Wang Dalin and Eddie House of the Heat, Kenyon Martin and Stephen Jackson of the Nets, Mike Miller of the Magic, and Maurice Peterson of the Raptors. , Darius Miles of the Clippers, Marcus Fizer of the Bulls, and Martin Cliffs of the Pistons. Except for Wang Dalin, Mike Miller and Kenyon Martin, none of the other six players averaged more than 10 points per game. And this team is obviously a bit "top-heavy". Except for Eddie House and Martin Cliffs, who are defenders, the other seven players are all forwards. As soon as he arrived at the arena, Wang Dalin knew that he would probably have to move to the center position. Who made him the tallest on this team? His official height is only 206cm, but this kind of data can deceive people who don't know him. Anyone who has played against him in a game doesn't know how "watery" his height is? The head coach of the rookie team is Maurice Cheeks, an assistant coach of the Philadelphia 76ers. So far this season, the Heat have a record of 32 wins and 18 losses, but they can still only temporarily rank second in the Eastern Conference. The Philadelphia 76ers rank first in the Eastern Conference with a record of 35 wins and 14 losses, and they are also first in the league. Therefore, the head coach of the Eastern Conference team in this year¡¯s All-Star Game is 76ers coach Larry Brown, while the head coach of the rookie team is Larry Brown¡¯s assistant coach Maurice Cheeks. Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t know much about this guy, so he is expected to be a coach who is good at coaching defense. After all, Larry Brown is famous for being good at defense. The lineup of the second-year team is indeed much stronger than that of the rookie team. They are: Baron Davis of the Hornets, Richard Hamilton of the Wizards, Shawn Marion of the Suns, and Quentin of the Clippers. .Richardson and Lamar Odom, Jason Terry of the Hawks, Andre Miller of the Cavaliers, and Wally Szczerbiak of the Timberwolves. The head coach is Elston Turner, the assistant coach of Kings coach Adelman. Since this guy is Adelman's assistant coach, he is naturally very familiar with "Princeton tactics". He is obviously an offensive coach, and Cheeks The style can be said to be completely opposite. "If Elston Turner is given a month to train the players, based on the strength of these players, this team may not even lose a game with the Heat, currently second in the Eastern Conference. If these players are in their prime, they may not be able to compete against the Lakers who have an "ok combination". But this is all if No matter how good they are in the future, they are still only second-year players, and they are not that good yet. When Wang Dalin practiced with these temporary teammates, he frequently appeared at the top of the three-point arc to provide support. After a training session, he felt so comfortable feeding the ball. At the end of the training, his teammates became more fond of him. Kenyon Martin, Mike Miller, Stephen Jackson and Darius Miles have even become brothers with him. "Wang, your passing is really good, better than our team's point guard.Comfortable! Kenyon Martin patted Wang Dalin on the shoulder and said with a smile. Wang Dalin thought to himself: "The point guard of your team is Stephon Marbury. It's strange that his passing is so comfortable!" In fact, it¡¯s not that Marbury doesn¡¯t pass the ball, it¡¯s just that in most cases during this period, he played first by himself, and only thought of passing it to his teammates when he couldn¡¯t play anymore. So even though Marbury averaged 7.6 assists per game this season, it still doesn't change his reputation as a "lone wolf". If you are the "Ma Political Commissar" who has a great enlightenment in Beijing in the future, you will know how comfortable his passing is! Mike Miller also smiled and said to Wang Dalin: "Wang, you have to pass more good balls to me in tomorrow's game. As long as you pass it to me, I will definitely make the shot!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "No problem Brothers, I wonder if you have heard what the outside world says about us?" Hearing Wang Dalin¡¯s words, all the rookie team players gathered around. Wang Dalin talked eloquently: "Now the outside world is unanimously dissatisfied with our rookie team. They all think that we cannot beat the second-year team. That guy Charles even made a bet on us, saying that if we can beat the second-year team, He ate Kenny¡¯s underwear live!¡± Miles said angrily: "Hundan, how dare you look down on us like this?" Martin also said angrily: "Fuck! A bunch of idiots!" Jackson, House, Cliffs, Miller and others also showed unhappy expressions. Wang Dalin saw that everyone was still a little angry, so he decided to add more fuel to their anger. He smiled and said: "Don't be so angry, everyone. It's normal for people to look down on us. After all, we are just rookies, and others have played more games than us. I¡¯ve been playing football for a year!¡± Martin was so enraged that he waved his arms and said angrily: "So what if I play for one more year? Do you have the guts to compete on the court?" The expressions on other people¡¯s faces gradually changed from displeasure to anger. Wang Dalin saw that the heat was almost over, so he smiled and said: "Brothers, I wonder if you want to do something together in tomorrow's game?" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 43: A Kun at the Beginning (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The joint training of the second-year team is completely different from that of the rookie team. Everyone just shot the ball casually, and then the team had a little confrontation and it was over. There¡¯s no other reason. The players on the second-year team didn¡¯t take the rookie team seriously at all. In their opinion, in this rookie competition, they only need to show 70% of their strength to win the game. No wonder they are so proud. After all, pride is based on strength. Take a look at their current performance this season: Baron Davis averaged 14.3 points and 7.4 assists per game, Richard Hamilton averaged 17.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, Shawn Marion averaged 17.5 points and 10.6 rebounds per game, and Lamar Odom averaged 17.4 points and 8 rebounds per game. , Quentin Richardson averaged 8 points and 3.5 assists per game, Jason Terry averaged 19.8 points and 4.9 assists per game, Andre Miller averaged 15.8 points and 8.1 assists per game, and Wally Szczerbiak averaged 19.8 points and 4.9 assists per game. 14.6 points and 5.6 rebounds. Except for Quentin Richardson, who is slightly behind, everyone else has already entered the team's starting lineup. Among the rookie team, only Kenyon Martin and Mike Miller have entered the team's starting lineup. Darius Miles and Wang Dalin can only be regarded as the team's main rotation members. As for the others they can play. Thank goodness for the time! No matter how you calculate it, the strength of this rookie team is far inferior to that of the second-year team. It is really strange that they can take it seriously! From the perspective of the second-year team players, this match is nothing more than an exhibition match, and everyone tacitly understands that it is enough not to let the "little brothers" lose too miserably. They didn¡¯t expect that the nine players in the rookie team were sharpening their skills and wanted to make a big splash in tomorrow¡¯s game! During the joint training on February 10, Coach Cheeks determined tomorrow¡¯s starting lineup. The first one to decide was Wang Dalin. Due to his "up to 206cm" height, this guy was decisively placed at the center position by Cheeks. The power forward position is Kenyon Martin. He is a "serious" 206cm tall and has no moisture at all. The small forward position is Maurice Peterson, who is also a power forward with a height of 206cm. However, his three-point shooting rate is as high as 38.1%, so he is naturally more suitable for outside activities than Kenyon Martin. Since there were too many center forwards in the rookie team, Mike Miller, who played power forward for the Magic, was assigned to the shooting guard position by Coach Cheeks. After all, his height was "only" 201cm, and he was the only tallest player on the team. Suitable for shooting guard. The point guard is Wang Dalin¡¯s teammate Eddie House. There are only two guards in the team. His average data per game is slightly better than that of Martin Cliffs, and he is obviously better defensively. During the joint training, Coach Cheeks gave everyone some pointers on defense. As for offense Wang Dalin's high-position support was quite effective, so he didn't bother to care about it - how could he admit that he didn't understand offense at all? Anyway, in his opinion, the rookie team will just be a sidekick tomorrow, so how can they win? For most fans, the biggest highlight of this game is actually the bet between Barkley and Smith. If the sophomore team wins, Smith will have to call Barkley "Uncle Charles" 10 times during the live broadcast; and if the rookie team wins, Barkley will have to eat Smith's underwear I have to say, this bet is very "Barkley"! The game started as scheduled. Before jumping the ball, Wang Dalin paid attention to his teammates one after another. Everyone winked at him and smiled "Brother, don't look at it. We know how to act as planned!" Yes, just last night Wang Dalin discussed with his teammates for more than an hour and formulated a very precise plan. First of all, try to win a Kun at the beginningah, go all out to grab points at the beginning! Based on Wang Dalin¡¯s many years of watching football experience, whether the All-Star Game is the main game or the Rookie Competition, most of the games in the opening stages are just for fun, and no one will play seriously. Wang Dalin and others did the opposite - if you don't fight seriously, we won't let go! When jumping the ball, Wang Dalin jumped high, a full hand higher than the second-year team's center Odom, winning the first attack for the rookie team. Eddie House dribbled to the frontcourt and showed off a set of fancy dribbling in front of Baron Davis. Davis couldn't help but show a disdainful smile - he dared to do it in front of me just these few times. Se? House did not try to dribble past Davis, but passed the ball to Wang Dalin at the top of the three-point arc. After Wang Dalin caught the ball, he looked in all directions and saw Morris Peterson running behind him. Wang Dalin passed hands to him and took advantage of the situation to help him block the pursuit.?Jason Terry. "Whoops!" Miller¡¯s three-pointer was very accurate, and the score instantly became 3:0. Looking back, the second-year team pulled apart, and "Big Bearded" Davis lowered his center of gravity from outside the three-point line to beat House in isolation. Davis did not choose to break through, but took two steps forward and suddenly made a pull-up jumper. He probably wanted to bully House, who was obviously shorter than himself. As a result, the ball bounced far away with a "dang" sound, and Martin grabbed the rebound. House immediately stepped down after receiving the pass from Martin. Davis quickly retreated after missing the shot. House flicked his wrist and passed the ball to the other side. Wang Dalin did not hesitate to break through to the basket after receiving the ball. Seeing that Wang Dalin had started to speed up, Odom, who couldn't get back in time, simply watched him make a one-handed chop, 5:0. "In the All-Star Game, you have to let it go when it's time to let it go That's what Odom thinks. Looking back, he also made a breakthrough. When he entered the three-second zone and was about to lay up, he was shaken by Wang Dalin's long arm. The ball hit the iron with a "dang" sound, and Wang Dalin collected the rebound. "I" Odom wanted to curse out loud, but he saw Cheeks on the bench of the rookie team applauding Wang Dalin's wonderful defense and thought to himself: "The defensive coach really deserves a beating!" He thought that the reason why Wang Dalin "defended seriously" was all because of Cheeks' instructions. After all, the Philadelphia 76ers are famous for their defense this season, and Wang Dalin¡¯s interference with him just now seemed to him to be just for show, but he thought it was a layup that was shaken. The rookie team attacked again, and Wang Dalin came to the high post to provide support. He played a pick-and-roll with Martin, moved to the wing and attracted the opponent's defensive attention. Then he threw a lob ball, and Martin jumped high. After catching the ball, he succeeded with a double-arm windmill dunk. 7:0! The sophomore team was a little anxious. On the next play, Davis used the screen of his teammates to break into the three-second zone. Facing Martin, he tried to force a layup, but was slapped down by Martin. Wang Dalin quickly grabbed the second layup with his quick eyes and hands. Then he swung his arm and made a long pass that spanned more than half of the court and accurately connected with Mike Miller. After Miller caught the ball, there was no one in front of him. He even took a step back to outside the three-point line before raising his hand to shoot. The ball went through the basket again with a "swish" sound, 10:0! Davis gestured to his team¡¯s bench, and Coach Turner quickly called a timeout. Back on the bench, Wang Dalin and his teammates high-fived each other in celebration. On the other side, the faces of Davis, Odom, Terry, Marion and others were obviously gloomy. "Fake!" Terry couldn't help but cursed, and several others also showed resentment. I bought a watch last year! ¡°You guys on the rookie teamare obviously young people who don¡¯t follow martial ethics? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 44 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The game had just played for more than three minutes, and the players on the second-year team were obviously a little unhappy. "What do you rookies want to do? With your looks, are you still trying to overthrow the world?" If we really look at the average data per game, only Kenyon Martin and Wang Dalin can barely compare with them. Are the others just rotten sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs? "Jason, Sean, Lamar, Wally, it seems that these rookies have some ideas. Let's all defend carefully later!" Davis said fiercely, "When attacking, everyone starts running and gets the ball. Attack them hard inside!" "Um!" "no problem!" "Look at it!" ¡­¡­ The timeout is over and the players from both sides return to the court. This attack belongs to the second-year team. Davis controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt. Odom immediately mentioned the high post and set a pick-and-roll for him, and then entered the three-second zone. Davis's pass was timely. When Odom received the ball Wang Dalin was completely left behind by him. With this ball, Odom jumped up and made a dunk, 10:2. After taking off, he did not forget to look back at Wang Dalin. As a result Wang Dalin watched him complete the dunk. After landing, Odom couldn't help but feel relieved: "It seems that they didn't defend seriously either!" Looking back at the rookie team's offense, House dribbled the ball past half-court. After several passes, the ball came to the hands of Wang Dalin, who was supporting in the high post. Wang Dalin hit a lob, but as soon as he took the shot, Marion jumped up and stretched out his long arm and broke it. Peterson wanted to make an alley-oop, but he dunked the ball directly into the air. Marion passed the ball to Davis. Although he was proud, he also looked a little guilty: "It seems that I misunderstood the rookie team. How could I play seriously? Isn't this just playing?" Davis ignored this and used Marion's screen to break directly into the three-point line. With a pull-up jumper, House gave up without catching up. It¡¯s a pity that ¡°Big Beard¡± didn¡¯t feel good today. The ball bounced out of the frame with a ¡°dang¡± sound. Wang Dalin picked up the rebound and slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. "Dang", Wang Dalin shot the ball directly from the top of the three-point arc. As a result, the three-pointer also hit the neck of the basket and bounced far away. Terry picked up this long backboard and thought to himself: "Do you want to show the rookie team a three-pointer? I'll play with you!" He dribbled the ball very fast. As soon as he ran outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right, he pulled it up and hit a chasing three-pointer The ball went in, 10:5. After scoring the goal, Terry was very proud. He raised his arms flat in his signature "jet" pose, and high-fived his teammates one after another as he ran back to his own half. Looking back, Wang Dalin and Mike Miller of the rookie team played a pick-and-roll. Miller received the pass from Wang Dalin and made an ordinary one-handed dunk. Szczerbiak was unable to catch up. Simply gave up the defense. "This kind of ball should be let go for a dunk but it must be let go!" 12:5. When the sophomore team attacked, Szczerbiak naturally wanted to perform, so after receiving the pass from Davis, he took a long step into the basket and jumped up. Miller "reciprocated the favor" and stood aside to watch him finish. This is an equally mediocre one-handed dunk. Szczerbiak¡¯s handsome face was full of smiles: ¡°You are a sensible boy!¡± Next, Eddie House received a pass from Wang Dalin and completed a layup. Davis was blocked by Martin's screen Jason Terry succeeded in a pull-up jump shot on the wing. Mike Miller was two meters away from him, but he just stretched out his hand symbolically Wang Dalin caught the ball in one step inside the three-point line. Odom stood in the three-second zone and refused to come out. Wang Dalin pulled up and shot, but the ball missed Davis used his speed to beat House, broke into the basket and dunked successfully, but Wang Dalin, who came to defend him, did not jump to block the shot After the pick-and-roll, Wang Dalin made a pull-up shot from the right wing, but Davis did not take the ball As the players of the rookie team played various fancy combinations and "let their guard down" when defending, the two sides were obviously playing more and more "courteous". Like previous All-Star games, everyone only works hard to "perform" when attacking, and they have to be more or less relaxed when defending. Everything seems so "harmonious", some things seem so "reasonable", everything seems to be back on "right track" In the blink of an eye, 18 minutes have passed in the first half, and the score between the two sides is 53:50, with the rookie team temporarily leading by 3 points. ??The rookie competition in this era is not a four-quarter game, but a top and bottom half game.Each game lasted 20 minutes, and before halftime was over, the scores of both sides had reached 50 points, which was considered a relatively high score. There was no way, both sides only committed one foul in total, and the game was played very smoothly. At this moment, the players of the second-year team have completely relaxed, and the little resentment at the beginning of the starting five tiger games has long disappeared. "Why are you still angry? Don't you feel good about performing two dunks?" At this moment, no matter whether they are starters or substitutes, the nine players on the second-year team probably think so. At this moment, Wang Dalin secretly winked at his teammates one after another. Starting from this attack, the situation on the court suddenly changed. I saw Wang Dalin first hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc, then assisted Martin and Peterson for a layup, and finally broke into the basket and passed the ball to Miller on the outside among the crowd. Miller raised the knife and dropped it. Another three-pointer. The performance of the rookie team on the offensive end is actually not surprising. They played the same way before. It was just that the pick-and-roll coverage was more solid, and the breakthroughs and shooting were more determined. The focus is on the defensive end They suddenly increased their defensive intensity. First, Wang Dalin raised his arms and successfully interfered with Davis' layup. Then House suddenly double-teamed and snatched the ball from Marion, and then Wang Dalin slapped Odom with a big slap and instantly turned into "Nick Young's question mark face". Just like that, before the end of the first half, the rookie team scored 4 goals in a row and successfully defended the sophomore team from 3 attacks. This small climax came too suddenly, and the sophomore team was caught off guard. After halftime, the score was fixed at 63:50, and the rookie team led by a full 13 points. Back in the corridor of the locker room, the rookie team players all laughed out loud with joy, and the second-year team players all had angry faces. "Brothers, first of all, let us give a thumbs up to our performance in the first half!" After returning to the locker room, Wang Dalin gave a thumbs up to his teammates and smiled, "But everyone, please pay attention. The second-year team should have already I have come to my senses and will definitely fight us seriously in the second half!" Miller nodded and said: "That's right! In the second half, we have to go all out on offense and defense. We have a 13-point advantage. At worst, we have to fight them!" As the "number one" pick among this year's rookies, Martin "consciously" put himself in the position of team leader. When he saw this, he stretched out the back of his hand and said, "Come on, let's roar together!" ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????They all put their palms on his hands and shouted in unison: "Rookie team, come on!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 45 Continuously adding points (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Kenyon Martin is in a very good mood, because he has already scored 13 points in the first half, and he is currently the highest scorer in the rookie team. Once today¡¯s game is won, according to NBA practice, the player with the highest score usually wins the MVP of the game. But he didn¡¯t notice that Wang Dalin, who everyone recognized as the ¡°most selfless¡± player had quietly scored 9 points in the first half, plus 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and even a block. ¡°The second half will definitely be tough, so let¡¯s use these points first, right?¡± In the locker room, Wang Dalin only hesitated a little before adding all 2,000 points awarded for completing tasks two and three to perimeter defense. His perimeter defense also quickly increased from 42 to 52. In his opinion, no matter what, he must win the game first, otherwise no matter how good his data is, he will not be able to win the MVP. ¡°To win this game, the rookie team must withstand the second-year team¡¯s crazy counterattack in the second half. Wang Dalin thinks the situation is not bad. After all, Elton Brand, the strongest among the second-year players, has withdrawn from this All-Star Weekend due to injury. If this guy is here, the rookie team may really be in trouble. As for the others, although they are very strong, it is still only their second season after all, and these future All-Stars have not yet had time to practice the ultimate move of continuous critical strikes. If it takes another two or three seasons, it will be hard to say. One Jason Terry alone is probably enough for the rookie team. In the history of the original time and space, this "Jet" broke out once on January 15, 2002, when the Hawks faced the Mavericks at home. In that game, he made 15 of 23 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, 13 of 17 free throws, and scored 46 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists. Although the Hawks still lost to the Mavericks 107:116 in that game, Terry's explosive performance still scared the young "veteran" into a cold sweat. I have to say one more thing, the Heat's current second-in-command, Tim Hardaway, had already joined the Mavericks that season. In that game, he came on as a substitute for 25 minutes and scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. His performance was very good. Coach Cheeks did not dictate the rookie team¡¯s tactics in the second half. Anyway, this game was just a formality for him. And he doesn't know anything other than defense. He already told the players what he should tell them during the joint training yesterday. Whether it¡¯s a rookie team or a second-year team, most of the players are playing together for the first time. Is it possible that they can still do something good on defense? Isn¡¯t it just one-on-one man-to-man defense? After the start of the second half, the second-year team really became serious. Not only did they stop letting loose on the defensive end, but Lamar Odom also frequently mentioned the high position to provide support during the offense. For a moment, the scene became very strange. The audience did not expect that both sides of this rookie match would use the same offensive tactics. It¡¯s not that the second-year team wants to learn the rookie team¡¯s style of play, but that their head coach Elston Turner is already quite good at this tactic. The essence of "Princeton's style of play" is "people moving, ball moving, and coordination", with special emphasis on inside players moving to high positions to provide support. Familiar fans know that the real offensive core of the Kings back then was not the point guard but the center. Even though they had "White Chocolate" Jason Williams and "White Devil" Mike Bibby, the team's real leader in offense was center Verratti Divac. Lamar Odom was known as the "left-handed magician" when he first entered the league. At that time, he could be regarded as one of the best passing big men in the league, so he had no problem playing high-post support. "However, the players on the second-year team probably didn't expect that their lethargy in the first half would actually make the rookies on the rookie team feel more confident. Even though their defense has become more intense, the rookie team players still have a good offensive efficiency, especially Kenyon Martin, who in their eyes can almost be regarded as the "parallel import number one", frequently attacks the inside and causes damage. . Wang Dalin was a little unhappy. He had "fed" Martin several times and was "eaten" by a foul? Since "feeding cake" to Martin doesn't work, then pass it to Miller. In the first half, Mike Miller made 2 of 4 three-pointers, and his hand was feeling hot. ?Compared to guys like Martin who can't attack outside the three-second zone, Wang Dalin naturally prefers to pass the ball to people with "range", such as Mike Miller and Maurice Peterson. The second-year team is no longer letting loose. Isn¡¯t it just asking for trouble by forcing the inside line? Really when Marion and Odom are under the basket???Function? On the offensive end, the rookie team still maintained their firepower. When defending, they actively shrank their formation and mainly defended the opponent's inside attack. As for outside shooting, if you can defend it, defend it. If you can't, just let him shoot! I have to say that the second-year team¡¯s three-pointers are really unreliable "Bearded" Davis has not yet developed his three-point shooting ability during this period. He averaged only 1.4 three-pointers per game, and he could only hit 0.3 of them, with a shooting percentage of only 22.5%. "Hacker" Marion's three-point shooting percentage this season is 18.2%, and he only averages 0.4 shots per game. He needs to be productive but not productive, and he needs to be accurate but not accurate. This season, Jason Terry¡¯s three-point shooting percentage is 29.3%, while Andre Miller¡¯s is only 20.4%. Even Quentin Richardson, who is known for his three-point shooting ability in his career, only shot 33.1% from three-point range this season. The three-point shooting percentages of Odom, Szczerbiak and Hamilton are not low this season, 36%, 35.9% and 36.4% respectively, but their average number of three-pointers per game is very small. They really didn't dare to play such a rough game when they opened up their shots. All in all, in this era, NBA teams don't pay much attention to three-pointers. The coaching staff of each team generally believes that three-pointers should be shot by the "three-point experts" in the team. Yes, there is still the concept of "three-point expert" in this era. For example, Quentin Richardson and Wally Szczerbiak, these two guys later became well-known "three-point experts" in the league, but unfortunately they are not yet. The second-year team also imitated the rookie team and began to shrink its defensive formation, but they found that the rookie team's three-pointer seemed a bit accurate, right? Mike Miller is averaging 4.4 three-pointers per game this season with the Magic, and his shooting percentage is as high as 40.7%. There are also Morris Peterson, whose three-point shooting percentage has increased to 38.2%, and Wang Dalin, whose three-point shooting percentage has increased to 35.8%. Even Eddie House, whose long-range shooting ability is "slightly stretched" this season, has a three-point shooting rate of 34.5%. And as Wang Dalin scored in double figures and blocked his second shot of the game, he received another 2,000 points reward. This time he increased his perimeter defense to 60 and defensive rebounds to 67. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 46 Continuous Points (2) (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The teammates of the rookie team found that Wang Dalin obviously played harder in the second half, and his attitude towards rebounding was much more positive than in the first half. When they saw Wang Dalin even being hit by the big elbow of Marion or Odom under the basket in order to grab a rebound their eyes were filled with tears! This is the All-Star Game! Do you want to work so hard? "What a dedicated player this is? For our rookie team to win this game, Wang Dalin has worked hard to this extent, how can we not work hard?" Inspired by Wang Dalin¡¯s example, the rookie team players were all pumped up. They all tried their best on the defensive end, making every offense of the second-year team seem so difficult. And as the second-year team made more and more offensive mistakes, it produced more backcourt rebounds. Wang Dalin was very happy to grab them. How many rebounds has he averaged so far this season? The most he grabbed in one game was 10, which is the ultimate expression of his current rebounding ability. But in this rookie game, the second-year team was obviously lethargic on the defensive end in the first half, and most of them had a playful attitude on the offensive end. Who was trying their best to grab offensive rebounds? This is also the main reason why Wang Dalin grabbed 6 rebounds in half the game. If the two sides really fight with real swords and guns, it would be good if he could grab 6 rebounds in the whole game. Before the second half was halfway through, Wang Dalin grabbed the 10th rebound of the game, once again completed a task and received a reward of 3,000 points. This guy didn¡¯t hesitate and just used it all to add three-pointers. His three-point ability also increased from 74 to 77. Next, Wang Dalin focused on passing the ball to his teammates. Only when the opportunity was particularly good, he would attack on his own. The admiration of his teammates for him was simply "like an endless river." see it? This is Wang Dalin, a good teammate who never benefits himself but only benefits others! How do they know that Wang Dalin has already reached double figures in points and rebounds? If he wants to have a triple-double all he has left is assists. ??And he sent 6 assists in the first half, and he has sent 3 more assists in the second half. At present, the highest scorer of the rookie team is still Kenyon Martin. After scoring 13 points in the first half, he scored 6 points in the second half. Although Martin does not have many offensive methods, his impact is very good. Once he gets to the basket, the second-year team will also have a headache. ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? This guy¡¯s body explosive power and jumping ability are very good. If you are not careful, you will get a foul. How could you not be on guardhow could you be on guard? Could it be that he is still trying to prevent him from dunking? If you want to stop players like Martin from attacking, you must keep him out of the three-second zone, so the young "hacker" began to take on this important task. Martin is 206cm tall and Marion is 201cm tall. It seems that the height difference is quite big. However, Marion¡¯s body is very strong, and he has a wingspan of 221cm. He can swing at the third and fourth positions at will, and he will not suffer too much when guarding power forwards who are taller than himself. What's more, Kenyon Martin has been a "rough guy" throughout his career, and he doesn't know any other offensive methods except dunking under the basket. With the "hacker" defensive ability, it is not difficult to restrain Martin. So, Kenyon Martin is in trouble. Since scoring the 19th point of the game, he has not scored in a sports game. If Kidd, who is the best passer, had not joined the Nets and became his teammate, his career scoring average might not reach double digits given his poor offensive skills. Marion is also in trouble, because he was completely involved in Martin on the defensive end. It can be said that more than half of his originally quite good defensive ability was abolished by Martin. It is no exaggeration to say that the rookie team was able to maintain a double-digit point difference advantage after half the second half of the game, and Martin took the greatest credit. Without him attracting the opponent¡¯s strongest defensive ¡°hacker,¡± how could Miller, Peterson and Wang Dalin get so many open shots from the outside? Wang Dalin made a three-pointer in the first half. When he got the ball outside the three-point line, how could the second-year team dare to let him shoot? Every time Odom sees Wang Dalin getting the ball outside the three-point line, he will involuntarily leave the three-second zone to guard. "The Left-Handed Magician" is 208cm tall, and with his height and long arms, he is really good at inside defense.??, but the outside defensive ability is not very strong. ?????????At least, facing the speedy small defender, his moving speed, which he is proud of among inside players, is obviously not enough. Wang Dalin often calls House to come over and do pick-and-rolls with him. After changing positions to defend, he will either hand the ball to House to "beat the big one", or he will face the "big beard" who is only 191cm tall. There is not much pressure if you pull it out directly. Just like that, after receiving a pass from Wang Dalin, House rushed into the three-second zone. Marion was unable to defend in time and he succeeded in a layup. Wang Dalin finally sent out his 10th assist of the game, successfully completed task six, and received a full 5,000 points. After the goal, House and Wang Dalin excitedly high-fived and celebrated. Only then did they realize that Wang Dalin was smiling happier than himself, and he couldn't help but respect him: "Darling Wang is such a selfless and good player!" After getting 5,000 points, Wang Dalin hit all the back-up hook shots, directly increasing this ability value to 64. There is a saying. Although Wang Dalin has played the power forward position for most of this season, his back-up offense has always been very hip-breaking, so he almost always attacks facing the frame in the game. I have to say, this style of play doesn't look like an inside player at all! In fact, Wang Dalin has long wanted to improve his back-up offensive ability, especially back-up hook shooting, which can be said to be a skill that inside players must possess. During this period, even the young "veteran" of the Mavericks is not completely incapable of back-up offense. His mid-range turnaround jump shot shooting rate is still so-so. And it can be said that Wang Dalin can¡¯t attack with his back at all. Although his offensive ability in front of the frame is quite good, if he can¡¯t attack with his back at all can he still be called an inside player? Even after Yao Ming entered the NBA, he learned hook shooting from Maurice Taylor! After adding the points, Wang Dalin couldn't wait to show off once on the court. He leaned on Odom and made a half-turn hook, and the result was a "dang" sound. ¡°Hmm¡­ 64¡¯s back hook is still a bit low, with a hit rate of just over 30% at best. What's more, his back movement is only 33, and his basic ability is too poor. What's the use of just having strong finishing ability? ?Obviously Wang Dalin did not fully realize this, and the addition this time was obviously hasty. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 47 Rookie Competition MVP (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! At the last moment of the game, the rookie team finally became less united. Mainly because of Kenyon Martin, he has completely lost the opportunity to score in sports games since being targeted by Marion. However, he still relied on free throws to score 4 points. In addition to the 19 points he scored previously, he has already scored in this game. At 23 points, there were 11 rebounds and 1 assist. If the rookie team wins this game, he thinks he will definitely be the best candidate for mvp or so he originally thought. But when Wang Dalin got a triple-double and the score reached 18 points, Martin was no longer calm. ? 23 points and 11 rebounds in a single game are certainly eye-catching, but a triple-double in a single game is undoubtedly even better. Especially since Wang Dalin felt very good in this game, it is not impossible to get a triple-double with 20+ points. So Martin started to act like a "moth" in the game. Not only did he deliberately let loose when defending, but he also hit the inside as soon as he got the ball during offense, completely regardless of how tight Marion's defense was against him. Wang Dalin noticed this first, so he stopped passing the ball to this guy when he was in the high position. House, Miller and Peterson gradually became aware of this situation, so no one on the rookie team stopped passing the ball to Martin. Look at how bad you look? How dare you compete with our Daring-King for mvp? Are you worthy? Without Darling-Wang designing the plan for the first half, would we have led by 13 points at halftime? ????????????? If Darling-Wang didn¡¯t pass the ball to us selflessly, would we have scored so many points? Without Darling-Wang desperately fighting for rebounds, without Darling-Wang sparing no effort to defend time and time again, would we have been able to withstand the second-half counterattack of the second-year team? Why do you, Martin, compete with Darling-Wang for the mvp? No matter what you thinkwe won't agree to it! ¡­¡­ Martin is just a power forward who relies on others to feed him. Once no one passes the ball to him, he will completely lose his role on the offensive end. Even Marion is not so tight on him. ?????????????????????????? And because Martin didn¡¯t work hard on the defensive end, the second-year team still succeeded in attacking continuously in the interior, and saw the score gradually catching up. Coach Cheeks waved his hand - "Substitute!" Martin was substituted, and his replacement was Marcus Fizer. He is also a power forward with a height of 206cm. His strength is definitely worse than Martin, but at least he will not be as undefensive as Martin. Originally Cheeks was just here to go through the motions, but when he saw Martin deliberately letting loose on defense in order to compete for MVP, he couldn't bear it anymore. The soul is weak! "I don't care if you don't attack, if you don't defend I can't stand it!" Coach Cheeks¡¯ move naturally won unanimous praise from all the players on the rookie team, except Martin After the defensive intensity increased, the rookie team worked together and finally withstood the second-year team's counterattack in the final stage and won the game. The final score was 120:113, and the rookie team won by 7 points. Szczerbiak scored the highest score on the sophomore team, with 26 points. Followed by Davis with 22 points, Odom with 17 points, and Marion with 16 points. On the rookie team, Martin scored 23 points, 11 rebounds and 1 assist. The data is still very good. In addition, Mike Miller scored 22 points, Peterson had 16 points, and House had 15 points, all performing very well. However, the entire audience knew who the MVP should be awarded to, because that person made 8 of 15 shots in the game, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 20 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 free throws. Assists and 2 blocks. He is the first player to score a triple-double in the All-Star Rookie Competition and the only player to score a triple-double under the age of 19. Yes, he is Wang Dalin. He will not turn 19 until the 17th of next month! You know, even the great "Magic" Earvin Johnson was already 20 years old when he played his first triple-double in the NBA. Although the triple-double in the All-Star Rookie Competition cannot be compared with the regular season, the gold content of his triple-double is no less than that in the regular season. The rookie game is inherently more confrontational than the All-Star game. In this game, the second-year team defended even harder in the second half. How easy is it to score and grab rebounds? And it¡¯s the first time for teammates to work together, so you can imagine how difficult it is to get double figures in assists. After getting a triple-double, Wang Dalin knew that he would definitely not run away if he won the MVP. Sure enough, when the host announced the MVP of this game?, in the roaring roar of the audience, the name was shouted out loudly - "King Darling!" Wang Dalin walked to the venue, enjoyed the enthusiastic applause and screams from the audience, and then took the microphone from the host. When you win an award, you naturally have to give an acceptance speech. For example, "I am very happy that I can get this award. First of all, I would like to thank my father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, aunt, uncle and all my friends who love me! Of course, I I can¡¯t forget to thank CCTV, MTV, and I don¡¯t know what TV it is" Of course Wang Dalin couldn't be so nonsensical. His acceptance speech was very serious: "I am very happy and honored to win the MVP of this game! First of all, I must thank my teammates. Without your wonderful performance, we would not be able to win." There is no way to win this game, so this MVP is not awarded to me, but to all the brothers in our team!" Miller, Jackson, House, Miles and other teammates standing aside all showed happy smiles and applauded one after another. Look! This is a good player in the 21st century. Not only does he play the ball well, but he also speaks so beautifully! Darling-King, we will always support you! After the applause, Wang Dalin continued: "In addition to my teammates, I also want to thank our team's coach Cheeks. Without you adjusting the defensive tactics at the critical moment, I am afraid it would be difficult for us to withstand the second-year team's attack in the final stage! Coach! ,thank you!" Cheeks was in a good mood after hearing this, with a fatherly smile on his face. All the players of the rookie team once again gave Wang Dalin a wave of enthusiastic applause. "Finally" Wang Dalin paused deliberately at this point, "I would also like to thank my opponents!" He pointed at the players on the second-year team. "Without you, our game would not be so perfect, and the audience would not be able to enjoy so many wonderful scenes! So, I want to thank you. It is you who have made us what we are, and it is you who have made this wonderful game! Thank you. !¡± The players on the second-year team didn¡¯t look good at first. After all, who could be happy after losing? But after hearing Wang Dalin's words, their faces looked much better, and they all smiled. The 2001 All-Star Rookie Competition came to a close with Wang Dalin¡¯s wonderful acceptance speech. The first day of this year¡¯s All-Star Weekend has just passed, and there are still two days of exciting activities waiting for the fans. Although the All-Star Weekend has not yet set up a "Skills Challenge" due to the passage of time, the "Three-Point Contest" and "Slam Dunk Contest" are still enough to attract the attention of fans. What¡¯s more, there¡¯s also an All-Star Game! But these had nothing to do with Wang Dalin, because after the game, he and Eddie House took a flight back to Miami that night. Just on the plane, Dalin also used the reward he just received. Since it is "can be designated to increase the ability value by 5 points", there is nothing to hesitate just add three points! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 48 System Upgrade (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! As Wang Dalin added several ability points to himself during the Rookie Challenge, and added 5 points to his three points after getting on the plane, his comprehensive ability value immediately increased to 81, and the system immediately issued a notification to him: "Dear host: First of all, congratulations on your comprehensive ability value exceeding 80, and this system has also been upgraded! ??The comprehensive ability value reaches above 80, which means that you are no longer weak and are enough to serve as a starting player on any NBA team! Therefore, the system will no longer release phased tasks to the host. In the future, the points required for the host to increase the ability value can be obtained after completing the milestone data. For details, please check the ¡®milestone list¡¯! Hosts can also earn points through daily training. For details, please check the ¡®Daily Training Points Acquisition Details¡¯! Of course, when the host encounters a major game or a representative game in his career, the system will still immediately release some temporary tasks. After completing the tasks, you will receive points, star skills or various special rewards! Come on, host! " Wang Dalin was a little unhappy at first, but when he saw the "milestone list" he immediately smiled. This "Milestone List" is divided into two parts, namely "Single Game Data Milestones" and "Single Season Milestones". There are 21 items in the "Single Game Data Milestones" list, namely: "1. Score 5 points in a single game in the NBA regular season, reward: 500 points!" "2. Grab 5 rebounds in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 1,000 points!" "3. Send 5 assists in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 1,000 points!" "4. If you provide 2 blocks or 2 steals in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 1,000 points!" "5. Score 10 points in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 1,000 points!" "6. Score 5 points and grab 5 rebounds or send 5 assists in a single game during the NBA regular season. Reward: 2,000 points!" "7. Grab 10 rebounds in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 2,000 points!" "8. Send 10 assists in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 2,000 points!" "9. Score 20 points in a single game during the NBA regular season. Reward: 2,000 points!" "10. If you have a double-double of points and rebounds in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 3,000 points!" "11. If you have a double-double of points and assists in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 3,000 points!" "12. Score 30 points in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 4,000 points!" "13. Score 40 points in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 6,000 points!" "14. If you have a triple-double of points, rebounds and assists in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 6,000 points!" "15. Score 50 points in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 10,000 points!" "16. Score 60 points in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 15,000 points!" "17. If you have a triple-double including steals or blocks in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 15,000 points!" "18. Score 70 points in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 20,000 points!" "19. Score 80 points in a single game during the NBA regular season. Reward: 30,000 points!" "20. If you achieve a quadruple-double in a single game during the NBA regular season (doubles in any four categories of points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks), reward: 30,000 points!" "21. Break the NBA regular season single-game record for points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. Reward: The host can designate any ability value to be increased to 99!" There are 10 items in the "Single Season Milestones" list, which are: ¡°1. Winning the NBA¡¯s ¡®Scoring Champion¡¯ in a single season, reward: 50,000 points!¡± ¡°2. Winning the ¡®Assist King¡¯ or ¡®Rebound King¡¯ in the NBA in a single season, reward: 40,000 points!¡± ¡°3. Won the NBA ¡°Blocking King¡± in a single season, reward: 30,000 points!¡± "4. Get the NBA "Regular Season MVP" for a single season. Reward: Draw 1 S-level star skill for free!" "5. Selected into the NBA All-Star lineup, reward: 30,000 points!" "6. Selected into the NBA's best single-season first team, reward: free drawing of 2 A-level star skills!" "7. Selected into the NBA's best single-season second team, reward: free draw of 1 A-level star skill!" "8. Selected into the NBA's best third team in a single season, reward: 30,000 points!" "9. Selected into the NBA's best defensive team in a single season (regardless of first team or second team), reward: Draw 1 A-level star skill for free! " "10. Break any NBA single-season data record for points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks, and you will be rewarded: 'Evergreen Badge'!" These "milestones" can only be rewarded when completed for the first time. For example, if Wang Dalin wins the regular season MVP this season, he will not be rewarded if he wins it again next season. Of course, if he wins the assists title this season and the rebounding title next season, he will still be rewarded. As for the "detailed list of daily training points acquisition", he didn't read it carefully because there was too much content in it. For example, if you hit 10,000 mid-range shots in total, you will receive a reward of 200 points; "Complete a total of 1,000 sets of jumps under the basket with the ball and hitting the board (10 times per set)", you can also get a reward of 200 points; "Complete a total of 1,000 sets of 84kg bench press (10 times per set)", and also receive a reward of 200 points Anyway, after reaching a certain amount of training, you will be rewarded with points. In short the more you train, the less points you will get! After reading the list, Wang Dalin was pleasantly surprised to find that his inventory actually had 17,500 more points, because he had completed 10 of the first 12 items of the "Single Game Data Milestones", except for "10 assists in a single game" and "Single Game Data Milestones". A double-double of points and assists per game¡± has not yet been accomplished. With "so much money", according to Wang Dalin's previous habit, he would definitely increase his ability value, but this time he was not in a hurry to do so. Because he has never entered the "System Mall" page since he got the "Cheating System". Who knows what good things are in this mall? At first, it was because he had too few points and he always wanted to "save more money before going shopping". Later, every time he gained points, he immediately increased his ability points, so he couldn't think of "saving money". ? As time went by, this guy almost forgot that there was such a mall in the "Guaibo System". ¡°I don¡¯t know what good things I have missed for so long!¡± Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but laugh at himself. ¡°Perhaps Wang Dalin laughed out loud, while Eddie House beside him twisted his body and murmured a few times in his sleep. This guy likes to sleep as soon as he gets on a plane, like this every time. Seeing that this guy was sleeping soundly, Wang Dalin ignored him and quickly opened the mall page in his mind. There are only three categories of products in the "System Mall", namely "Star Skills", "Special Badges" and "Special Equipment". Wang Dalin first entered the "Special Badges" page, and saw that there were only 8 badges in total, all in golden colors, which made people feel very high-end at first glance. Among them, the reward "Evergreen Badge" seen in the "Milestone List" is also listed, but the price is as high as 100,000 points! "Evergreen Badge: After obtaining this badge, the peak state of the host's career will be maintained longer. The peak state will be maintained before the age of 36, and the state will slowly decline after the age of 36!" The other seven badges are obviously of the same level as the "Evergreen Badge" because their prices are all 100,000 points. For example, the "Copper Skin and Iron Bone Badge", after obtaining it, the host will not suffer any injuries. There is also the "King of the Zone Badge". After obtaining it, the host can not only increase his own shooting percentage by 5% in the three-second zone, but also reduce the opponent's shooting percentage by 5%. "Trash Talk Master Badge", any trash talk you say to an opponent's player on the court has a 30% chance of affecting the opponent's mood; "Secret Action Badge" can reduce the possibility of being discovered by the referee by 50% when making small moves on the field; "Free Throw King Badge", the free throw shooting rate in the last 2 minutes of the game will reach 100% Wang Dalin¡¯s eyes grew hot when he saw it: ¡°These are all really good things! It¡¯s a pity I can¡¯t afford them!¡± (Remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 49 Bottleneck (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Since he couldn't afford the badge, Wang Dalin clicked on the "Special Equipment" page. The equipment here is divided into two categories, one is "Protective" and the other is "Enhanced". As the name suggests, "protective equipment" is equipment that protects the host. When worn, it can reduce the possibility of injury to the host to varying degrees. "Enhancement" is equipment that improves the host's ability. After wearing it, it can improve a certain ability value of the host. However, these equipment are as expensive as the badges just now. Even the cheapest pair of "protective" ankle braces costs 15,000 points. It¡¯s not that Wang Dalin can¡¯t afford such a pair of ankle braces, it¡¯s just that he really can¡¯t bear to spend 15,000 points on such a thing. And its overall durability is as high as 99. Even without any protection, it is not easily injured. It is a bit of a waste to buy it. As for other equipment, the lowest-priced ones cost 20,000 points, which he really couldn¡¯t afford. "Let's take a look at the star skills?" Wang Dalin thought, "At least I already have three star skills now. I wonder if I have enough points to buy another one?" In fact, he was mentally prepared after reading the "Milestone List" because the value of star skills in the list is very high. For example, the reward for "selected to the second team of the NBA's best team in a single season" is "a free drawing of an A-level star skill", while the reward for "selected to the third team of the NBA's best team in a single season" is "30,000 points." ??Obviously, in the system's evaluation standards, the value of A-level star skills is higher than 30,000 points, and the value of S-level star skills is naturally higher. As expected When Wang Dalin opened this page, he found that the prices of A-level star skills were all 35,000 points, and the prices of S-level star skills were as high as 80,000 points! Originally, he didn¡¯t take these three star skills seriously, but now it seemsit¡¯s so good! Since the prices of things in the mall are so expensive, Wang Dalin can¡¯t afford to buy anything for the time being, so he¡¯d better use his points to increase his ability value! "What should I add?" Wang Dalin thought for a moment and made a decision, "Just add three points!" His three-point ability is now as high as 82. Calculated at the price of 2,000 points per point between 80 and 89, 17,500 points is enough to increase his three-point ability to 89! The three-point ability of 89 is quite impressive. In this era, I dare not say that he is in the top five in the league, but he can at least be ranked in the top ten in the league! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reveal an excited smile on his face. "Heywhat's going on?" As soon as he opened his ability value page, he found that this page had changed a lot: "Host: Wang Dalin" ¡°Date of birth: March 17, 1982¡± "Height: 211cm, weight: 105kg, wingspan: 231cm" "Position: small forward, power forward, center" "66 (85) close range shots, 61 (80) cut layups, 58 (75) cut dunks, 55 (80) dunks on the spot, 64 (75) back-up hook shots, 37 (75) post-up fadeaways. , 85 (85) mid-range shots, 82 (85) three-pointers, 74 (85) free throws, 33 (70) post-up moves, 69 (80) passing accuracy, 62 (80) passing vision, 58 (ball control) 70), dribbling speed 68 (75), catching ability 73 (80), inside defense 65 (80), outside defense 60 (70), steals 48 (70), blocks 73 (85), shot interference 70 (85) ), offensive rebounds 47 (80), defensive rebounds 67 (85), lateral agility 66 (70), speed 72 (75), acceleration 71 (75), strength 65 (75), jumping 73 (75), physical strength 75 (95).¡± "Comprehensive durability 99" "Potential value: 99" "Equipment skills: One leaf blinds the eyes (a level), McGrady pulls out (s level), touches your head (s level)" "Comprehensive ability value: 81" "Note: The number outside the brackets is the current ability value of the host, and the number inside the brackets is the upper limit of the corresponding ability value at the current stage (a total of 12 ability values ??must reach the upper limit of the current stage to unlock the next stage. After entering the next stage, all abilities The value cap will be republished)!" Is there just an additional "capacity value limit"? Of course there are more changes after this system upgrade Wang Dalin discovered that the price of ability points has also changed. To put it bluntly, it is a "price increase"! Things like close-range shooting, cut-in layups, back-up hook shots, passing vision, etc. are all in the 60-69 range. The original price was 400 points, but now it has increased to 800 points. Things like free throws, catching ability, speed, etc. are all in the 70-79 range. The original price was 800 points, but now it has increased to 1,600 points.   CIC belongs to the range of 80-89. The original price was 1,600 points, but now it has risen to 3,200 points. Three points has always been the "most expensive" among all ability values. Originally, the price for each upgrade point in the 80-89 range was 2,000 points, but now it has increased to 4,000 points. "Fuck!" Feeling that he had been tricked by the "fake system" in the name of "system upgrade", Wang Dalin couldn't help but cursed. Fortunately, the price for abilities below 60 has not changed, it is still 200 points, which finally makes Wang Dalin feel a little better. ¡°It¡¯s better to add three points first!¡± After all, his three-point ability is close to its current limit, and enhancing his three-point ability will definitely be of great help to his performance on the court this season. ?? 12,000 points were spent to increase the three-point ability value to 85. The remaining 5,500 points were all added to back movements, raising the ability value to 60. In the end, there were still 100 points left. Wang Dalin added 3 points of three-pointers and 28 points of back movements this time, but the comprehensive ability value is still 81. He couldn't help but thought to himself: "It's really difficult to improve after the ability value exceeds 80!" After this wave of extra points, Wang Dalin knew very well that unless he could encounter what the system called a "major game" or a "career representative game", he might still be able to work hard on one or two temporary tasks I'm afraid I have no chance to improve this season. Those tasks of accumulating points based on training volume are too time-consuming, and how can you have so much energy to complete such a large amount of training during the season? ??Besides, those "large quantity but small points" training will not help even if you complete one or two items. What are a few hundred points enough for? It can be said that nowWang Dalin has encountered a bottleneck! Fortunately, this bottleneck did not come too early. At least his comprehensive ability value has reached 81, which is enough for him to start in any team. After the All-Star Weekend, the Heat have 30 games left in the regular season this season. As the end of the season approaches, it is time for many teams to sprint. Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t know about other teams. Anyway, the Heat will definitely sprint with all their strength. After all, they are a strong team in the playoffs. By winning one more game in the regular season, it is possible to gain home court advantage in the playoffs, which is something that no playoff team can refuse. After the baptism of the All-Star Rookie Competition, Wang Dalin scored a full 29,400 points on his multiple abilities, plus an additional 5 points and three points, which made great progress in strength. Originally, the Heat's final record this season was 50 wins and 32 losses, and they were swept out by the Hornets 3-0 in the first round of the playoffs. Wang Dalin has no confidence that the Heat can win the championship this season. Not to mention that it is almost impossible for the Heat to beat the Lakers who have an "ok combination". Even the 76ers, who are number one in the Eastern Conference, will probably not be able to beat them, but at least not in the playoffs. Falling in the first round? "Okay, the goal for this season" Wang Dalin secretly made up his mind, "It is to break through the first round of the playoffs!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 50 Agent (1) (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! "Wang, it's time for you to find an agent!" When getting off the plane, Eddie House said to Wang Dalin seriously. "Huh?" Wang Dalin couldn't help being stunned. Seeing his stupid look, Eddie House couldn't help but laugh: "Did you know that just because you don't have an agent, everyone else called my agent!" "Phone? What phone?" Wang Dalin was still a little confused. Eddie House couldn't help but laugh: "You really don't understand anything!" Then they drove back to Wang Dalin¡¯s home, and Eddie House told him a lot along the way. In fact, almost all NBA players have agents, and they do a lot of things for the players. The more common ones are probably helping rookie players contact them for tryouts, negotiating various contracts on behalf of the players, and handling a lot of daily affairs for the players, etc. For example, contract negotiations are divided into two categories: "salary contract" and "endorsement contract." In fact, there is nothing to talk about in salary contracts. After all, the league has regulations on salary standards for each level, and there are also salary cap restrictions on teams. For example, Wang Dalin is currently signing a one-year basic salary contract of US$320,000. Even if he has an agent to help him negotiate, it is estimated that the price will still be the same in the end. ??????????????????????? But he was just a little transparent guy with a basic salary at the time. If some stars whose abilities don't reach the super-super level can also sign a maximum-salary contract, it's all thanks to their agent. In the summer of 2019, the Milwaukee Bucks wanted to renew Middleton's contract. Based on his performance, the annual salary of 30 million was already a top dollar. However, when his agent Jeff Schwartz came forward, he actually talked about five years. A maximum salary of 178 million! This is the role of agents, they can make the players they serve earn more money! NBA regulations stipulate that the maximum commission an agent can receive from a player¡¯s salary contract is 4%, while the maximum commission that an agent can receive from a player¡¯s endorsement contract is 20%. For example, Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson has renewed his contract with the Chinese sneaker brand "Anta" for 10 years, and his endorsement fee is US$80 million. Then his agent can take a commission of up to 16 million! Agents will do their best to help players earn more money, and of course they also want to earn more money for themselves! After some popular science from Eddie House, Wang Dalin lowered his head in shame. It¡¯s too embarrassing, okay? In his previous life, this guy was just an otaku and a keyboard warrior. Although he had played many generations of 2K games and watched many NBA live broadcasts and news, he really knew nothing about agents. It can be said that there are more than 400 players in the NBA teams this season, and there is no agent only Wang Dalin! ¡°He is simply a country bumpkin, a country bumpkin, a country bumpkin "But" Wang Dalin wanted to save his face for the last time, "I only have an annual salary of 320,000 this season, and I have to give 4% to my agent in vain. Isn't it too cost-effective?" Eddie House showed a wry smile that said he was defeated by you, and patiently explained: "You only have an annual salary of 320,000, don't I do the same? But have you ever thought that you can earn more money? Let me use you as an analogy. You have played so well this season. Are there any merchants who want to talk to you about endorsements? Let me tell you, there must be! It¡¯s just that because you don¡¯t have an agent, they can¡¯t contact you! " "What?" Wang Dalin was stunned, and then showed a regretful expression. What a mistake What a mistake I wonder if I have made hundreds of millions less in the past few months? Eddie House smiled and said: "Look, people want to contact you but can't. They have called my agent and want me to help connect you!" "Is there such a thing? What kind of business is it?" Wang Dalin immediately became energetic upon hearing this. It¡¯s money! Who can have too much? ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal, it¡¯s just that a local beverage company in Miami wants you to be an endorser, and they offer $50,000 a year!¡± Eddie House laughed, ¡°I asked my agent to decline it for you!¡± "What?" Wang Dalin's voice immediately jumped up a notch when he heard this, "You didn't even ask me, so why did you refuse it for me?" Eddie House had a look of disdain on his face and said calmly: "Look at your worthless look! For a mere $50,000, you want to find our best rookie as your spokesperson. Isn't that a pipe dream?" He pointed at Wang Dalin¡¯s forehead and said, ¡°You, it seems you really don¡¯t know how much you are worth!¡± Wang Dalin looked confused and stared blankly at Eddie House. At this moment, he felt that his only best friend in the team was so tall.   "So what you should do most now is not to negotiate an endorsement contract, but to seriously find an agent!" Eddie House sat on the sofa and delivered a "concluding statement." "Can't I just sign with your agent?" Wang Dalin thought for a moment and asked. Eddie House smiled and said: "Brother, signing an agent is a very rigorous matter. Although I also think my agent is good, I think you should make your own decision. If you want to know more about the agent, I advise you to talk to Coach Pat, he has a wide network of contacts in the league and knows many excellent agents!" Eddie House¡¯s words are correct. The ¡°Magic Counter¡± has been in the league for many years and has a very wide network of contacts. The next morning, Wang Dalin called Riley and learned that he was in the team's office, so he went directly to the office to meet him. "What? You want me to introduce you to an agent?" Hearing Wang Dalin explain his intention, Riley was also a little confused. "The Fortune Teller" has always been calm and composed, and his expression at this moment was wonderful. What kind of ridiculous operation is this? ¡°Having played more than half of this season, you suddenly come to me and tell meyou didn¡¯t sign with an agent? Is this still the rookie I admire most in the Heat? "Wang, do you meanyou have been in Miami for so long and you still haven't signed an agent?" Riley was stunned for a long time and finally couldn't help but ask. Wang Dalin nodded respectfully and said: "I really didn't know this before, and I only focused on training and competition. Now I want to find an agent, so I hope you can help me introduce him!" Riley pondered for a moment and said: "I know a lot of agents. Do you have any requirements? For example, age, gender or skin color?" ¡°Hmm¡­ When you say that, it sounds like you¡¯re a pimp¡­ I really want to find an agent. Does it have anything to do with age, gender and skin color? Wang Dalin shook his head and said: "No, I don't have these requirements. I just want to find a serious and responsible agent!" "Oh, I understand what you mean!" Riley just thought for a moment, then opened the drawer and found a business card, picked up the phone and dialed the number on the business card. "Hi, how are you, man?Me?I'm just like the samefishing? It's almost the end of the season, how can I have time to go fishing?Don't interrupt, I There is a player I want to introduce to you, are you free? Well It's Darling King. You should have heard of this guy, right? Well, I'm free tomorrow, okay, you can just come to my office. !¡± After hanging up the phone, Riley smiled and said, "It's done, you can come over and interview him at 10 a.m. tomorrow!" Wang Dalin asked weakly: "Coach Pat, may I askwhat is the name of the agent you introduced to me?" Riley smiled and said: "You say him, his name is JeffJeff Schwartza kid!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 51 Agent (2) (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Compared with Pat Riley, who was born in 1945, Jeff Schwartz, who was born in 1964, is indeed a "kid". Schwartz graduated from Tarpur University. After receiving his doctorate in law from this prestigious school, he first worked in the court as a clerk. Later, he became tired of this job where the potential for advancement was limited by seniority, so in 1992 he joined the prestigious img company, which is also the world's largest public relations agency for sports events and entertainment events. After years of hard work at img, Schwartz has plans to start his own business. Originally, he would co-found "Excel Sports Management Company" with his close friends Casey Cross and Mark Steinberg in 2002. As its name suggests, this company is a very pure professional agency that specializes in helping players win bigger contracts and more endorsement contracts. But it is still February 2001, and he is still an employee of img company. The other two founders of "excel sports management company" are now his colleagues in the same company. If Pat Riley hadn¡¯t had a close relationship with him, he probably wouldn¡¯t have known that he was about to leave img to start his own business, let alone that he wanted to be a purely professional agent. So, Riley called this "kid", and Schwartz also realized that Wang Dalin was a very good opportunity for him, so he agreed to the meeting. At this time, Schwartz probably doesn¡¯t know what a glorious life he is about to have. In the original time and space, Jeff Schwartz was one of the most successful professional agents in the world! As of the end of 2020, Schwartz has topped the list of NBA agents¡¯ income sharing for many consecutive years. Since 2017, the total annual salary contract of his players has exceeded US$300 million. In terms of personnel, Schwartz has more than 35 high-quality NBA players, 8 of whom have been selected to the All-Star lineup, such as Jokic, Griffin, Love, CJ McCollum and others. Moreover, the business of the NBA only accounts for a small part of all his company¡¯s business, because including golf, baseball, entertainment and other fields, the cumulative salary of Jeff Schwartz¡¯s company¡¯s management contract as of 2020 has been More than $4 billion. By the way, the biggest athlete under Schwartz is not an NBA star at all, but golf king "Tiger" Woods, and he is also the agent of "music queen" Taylor Swift. In the original time and space, there were many agents who were very famous, such as Rich Paul, the agent of "King James", "Brother Big Eyebrow" and "Dream Green", who was nicknamed "Rich Paul". It is estimated that many fans think that "Rich Paul" is the most powerful agent in the NBA. In fact, he is not as good as Jeff Schwartz. To put it bluntly, "Rich Paul" is indeed very good. He can definitely be among the top five, or even the top three, in the NBA agent income sharing rankings, and Jeff Schwartz is the first! However, this future legendary agent has not yet set foot in this industry. He is preparing to negotiate his first client in the NBA! At 10 a.m. on February 12, 2001, Wang Dalin came to Riley's office as scheduled. As soon as he entered the door, he found that besides Riley, there were three other people in the office. "Wang, you are here, let me introduce you first!" Riley pointed to the three people sitting on the sofa and smiled, "This is Jeff, I told you yesterday. These two are his Friends Casey Cross and Mark Steinberg!" Wang Dalin noticed that these three people were all in their thirties and quite handsome. ¡°It¡¯s no wonder. Agents often have to negotiate contracts for their employers, which is a publicity job. In fact, they are similar to those who engage in public relations. In addition to being good at eloquence, they must also have good looks. "Hello, Darling King, I'm Jeff Schwartz, nice to meet you!" Schwartz stood up and shook hands with Wang Dalin, "You are really tall!" "Thank you!" Wang Dalin was a little at a loss. Are you tall? Is it strange that NBA players are tall? "Wait two more years until Chairman Yao comes, and then you will know what it means to be tall!" Schwartz seemed to see Wang Dalin's restraint, so he smiled and said: "Wang, after Pat called me yesterday, I looked up a lot of information about you!" Wang Dalin sat down slowly, nodded and said, "It can be seen that Mr. Schwartz is a very serious person!" Schwartz smiled and said: "It's just a professional habit! In fact, I was very familiar with you before I received the call from Pat In fact, it's hard to ignore your performance this season."Attention people! " Mark Steinberg interjected: "First of all, we must congratulate Wang for winning the MVP of this year's All-Star Rookie Competition!" Casey Cross also laughed and said: "Wang's average data per game this season is 11.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists, shooting 47.5% from the field and 35.8% from the three-point range. Judging from the current situation, we believe that Wang will be at the end of the season. There should be quite a bit of improvement in the future!¡± Schwartz continued: "So, we are very interested in working with you!" Riley smiled and said: "But Jeffaren't you all still at IMG? I don't have a problem with you taking on private work. After all, Wang is a player of our Heat, and I can't cheat him!" Schwartz smiled and said: "Pat, you are worrying too much! In fact, Mark, I, and Casey have already discussed that as long as Wang agrees to become our client, we will immediately resign from IMG and start a professional agency. . We have already thought about the name of the company, it will be called 'Excel Sports Management Company', and Wang will be our company's first customer!" Riley smiled and said: "Jeff, you have to think about it, starting a business on your own is not easy!" Schwartz smiled and said: "Pat, I believe in Wang's potential and the potential of our company! As long as Wang becomes our customer, we will do our best to serve him!" Wang Dalin pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Schwartz, I have already felt the sincerity from you. Why don't we directly negotiate the share ratio?" Schwartz nodded and said: "No problem! The NBA stipulates that the maximum commission for salary contracts is 4%, and the maximum commission for endorsement contracts is 20%. Wang, you will be our company's first customer, so I will set it for you. The commission standards are 2% and 15% respectively, what do you think?" Wang Dalin showed a smile on his face: "With such a good offer, what else can I say? I think it should be difficult for me to refuse your offer!" Mark Steinberg took out a stack of information from his bag and placed it on the coffee table: "Wang, this is the contract we drafted yesterday. You can take a look at it first. If you think anything is wrong, just say it to your face and we will do it at any time. The contract can be modified!¡± Wang Dalin nodded, picked up the contract and read it carefully. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 52 Agent (3) (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! There was a lot of content in the contract and the various clauses were quite complex. Wang Dalin read it for more than half an hour. "I don't have any objections. You can sign the contract at any time!" After reading, Wang Dalin raised his head and said. Since Jeff Schwartz and his "Excel Sports Management Company" have not yet been established, Party A of this contract is Wang Dalin, and Party B is Schwartz. To put it simply, Schwartz will sign an agent contract with Wang Dalin in his personal name. "Wang, I'm very happy that you recognize me so much!" Schwartz smiled, "But I still hope you can consider it more carefully. After all, after signing the contract you will be my customer!" "I've read the contract, and there's nothing wrong with it!" Wang Dalin said with a pretentious smile, "I believe in you, just like I believe in Coach Pat!" Riley smiled and said: "Wang, you want to sign with an agent, not me you'd better think carefully before signing the contract!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "I believe in you, coach!" After saying that, he stood up, picked up Riley's pen on the desk, signed his name on the contract, and after signing, he handed the pen to Schwartz. Schwartz smiled slightly, took the pen from his hand, and signed his name on the contract. "OK!" Schwartz smiled, "Wang, from this moment on, you are my first customer!" Riley joked: "Jeff, to celebrate signing your first client, shouldn't you buy me a drink?" Schwartz smiled and said: "You can put the drinking thing aside for now. I would like to ask Coach Pat. Wang signed a one-year minimum salary contract with the Heat. Will you provide Wang with a qualifying offer after this season?" ?¡± Riley was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "Jeff, you guyare you in a hurry to help the client negotiate the contract just after signing it?" Schwartz smiled and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t this what I, as an agent, should do?¡± Riley smiled bitterly and said: "You know, Jeff, the season is not over yet, it is too early to talk about this. And based on Wang's performance this season, I estimate that in the offseason it will be difficult for the Heat to stay he!" Riley is right. With Wang Dalin¡¯s current performance and average data, it is a pipe dream for the Heat to keep him with a qualified offer. Although Wang Dalin will become a restricted free agent at the end of this season, other teams will definitely give him an offer contract. With the Heat¡¯s current salary space, it may be difficult to match the high prices offered by other teams. There is nothing they can do about it. Unless the Heat choose Wang Dalin as the core of the team in the next few years, they can only watch him switch to others. And do the Heat dare to bet? Or will the Heat gamble? Before Wang Dalin came, they were second in the Eastern Conference. So far this season, they are still second in the Eastern Conference. This is even when Mourning is absent due to illness. Once Mourning returns, what level will the Heat's strength be this season? The first round of the playoffs? Second round? Or make it to the Eastern Conference Finals? Even the finals? This is all unknown, at least until the end of the regular season this season, Riley does not want to think about next season. Even though Riley knows that Wang Dalin has great potential, in his heart, Wang Dalin cannot yet be compared with Mourning, Hardaway, Grant and others. "Well, it's really too early to talk about this now!" Schwartz pondered for a moment and said, "After this season is over, I believe that Pat you will take the initiative to talk to me!" In terms of professionalism in basketball, Schwartz is not as good as Riley when it comes to courtship, but he believes that he has a more accurate eye for people than Riley. When Schwartz saw Wang Dalin for the first time, he thought that this boy's future was boundless and that he would definitely be able to stand out and even be selected for the All-Star team. In fact, he still underestimated Wang Dalin, because for Wang Dalin, who has a "hanging system", it is just "selected into the All-Star lineup"it is just a basic operation. ¡­¡­ After signing the agent, Wang Dalin was in a good mood. That night, he invited his best friend Eddie House to his home for a meal and drink to celebrate, and he also watched the three-point contest and dunk contest during the All-Star Weekend with him. There were eight participants in the 2001 All-Star Weekend Three-Point Contest, namely Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks, Ray Allen of the Bucks, Alan Houston of the Knicks, Peja Stojakovic of the Kings, Rashard Lewis of the SuperSonics, Byron Russell of the Jazz and the MagicPat Garrity. Just taking a look at the list of entries, Wang Dalin was almost blinded by the shining star There were actually six future All-Stars among these eight people, including two regular season MVPs and one finals MVP! ??As far as three-point shooting ability is concerned, in fact, these people were the league's top shooters at their peak, but Ray Allen and Peja are more famous in the field of three-point shooting. As expected, Ray Allen scored 20 points in the first round and successfully advanced to the second round. Nash performed poorly. He only scored 14 points in the first round and was eliminated. Nowitzki performed well, scoring 17 points in the first round, and finally made it to the second round. During this period, the young "veteran driver" has already shown a very good shooting touch. His mid-to-long-range shooting ability is the most accurate among all big players in the league. Another player who entered the second round was Peja, who scored 18 points in the first round. In the second round, the "old driver" voted first. I don't know if this guy drank fake wine or smoked fake cigarettes. This "experienced driver" had no touch at all in this round and only scored 10 points, a very embarrassing result. Peja came on the scene for the second time and scored 17 points in the final round, which was a normal result. "Junzi Lei" is indeed "Junzi Lei". He scored 19 points in the second round and successfully won the championship of this three-point shooting contest. Because the era has been very long, even if Wang Dalin is a very senior fan, he has no impression of this three-point contest at all. Seeing Ray Allen win the championship, this guy actually felt a bit of fighting spirit in his heart. "Hmph! What's so great? I will also participate in the three-point shooting competition next year and win the championship!" With his three-point ability reaching 85, Wang Dalin's mood is indeed different. "Wang, I will also sign up for the three-point shooting competition next year. Let's compete for this championship!" Eddie House was also infected by his passion. He never thought that his three-point shooting rate this season was not even 35%. arrive. "If you want to participate, you should first practice your three-point shooting more accurately!" Wang Dalin said this with a sense of disgust - you can talk to your best friend without any scruples. In fact, Eddie House¡¯s three-point shooting was only inaccurate in the early stages of his career. Starting from his fourth season, his three-point shooting percentage has remained above 37% for many years. ?? Even this guy¡¯s three-point shooting percentage has reached more than 40% in 5 seasons, and his career three-point shooting percentage is as high as 39%. He is definitely a high-quality shooter. In a highly accidental game like the Three-Point Shootout, not the best shooter will definitely win the championship. "Junzi Lei" and "Ku Ritian" are definitely good enough in the field of three-pointers, right? They also lost more than once in the three-point shooting contest. The next dunk contest was a bit lackluster, after all, Vince Carter¡¯s performance in 2000 was so exciting. In comparison, Desmond Mason, the champion of this year's slam dunk contest, is indeed far behind. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 53 Multiple Shows of Goodwill (1) (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On the evening of February 13, the 2001 All-Star Game finally started. Everything was just as Wang Dalin remembered. The Western Stars had been leading in the first three quarters, and they even led by more than 20 points before the start of the fourth quarter. In the last quarter, Iverson and Marbury led the Eastern team to launch a desperate counterattack. Iverson scored 15 points in the final quarter, and Marbury scored a key three-pointer to overtake the score. The Western team had a chance to win, but Kobe passed the ball to Duncan. Duncan's last shot was ruthlessly blocked by Carter. In the end, Iverson was elected as the MVP of this All-Star Game. After the All-Star Game, each team resumes its regular season journey. On February 14, the Heat faced the challenge of the Clippers at home. This game was not broadcast live on TNT, but in another live broadcast of the Lakers' away game against the Nets, Smith asked Barkley to honor his bet on the spot - eat his underwear! "Hey, Charles, so that you can taste the authentic taste of Kenny, I wore these underwear for three whole days, and I brought them to you before they were washed!" Smith took it from a paper bag with a half-smile. I took out something and saw that this yellow "underwear" was covered in stains and blackit looked disgusting! Looking at the thing Smith was holding, Barkley almost cried on the spot. Why the hell are they called underwear? Are you sure this is not a rag that has been used to wipe the toilet? When he took the "underwear" from Smith with trembling hands, he realized that the black thing was actually an egg pancake with a layer of dark chocolate Who knows which Michelin star Smith had found? How can a chef make egg pancakes look like underwear? This is just a stunt by TNT. How could they let Barkley really eat Smith's underwear? At the same time, the Heat's game against the Clippers ended in a fierce confrontation. In this game, the Clippers' three main rotation players, Eric Piakowski, Sean Lukes and Corey Maggette, all showed stretched hips, although the "left-handed magician" Lamar Odo Mu had an all-round performance of 19 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. The Clippers still lost the game 99:101. It can be seen from the score that the Heat actually won by a fluke, because the three main rotation players Wang Dalin, Dan Marley and A.C. Green also performed very well. I don¡¯t know if it was because of his poor performance in the All-Star Rookie Competition that his character was ruined. Wang Dalin¡¯s performance in this game can simply be described as ¡°unsightly¡±. He only made 3 of 14 shots from the field, 2 of 4 free throws, and only scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists after playing 29 minutes This kind of performance was a complete disaster for Wang Dalin, who had just been crowned the MVP of the rookie game. Fortunately, he touched Anthony Mason's head in the second half. Without Mason's highlight performance of 27 points and 12 rebounds in this game, as well as his last-minute buzzer-beating shot, the Heat would have been in disgrace. . At the end of the game, Wang Dalin and Odom exchanged jerseys. The "Left-Handed Magician" smiled and said: "Boy, you defeated me two days ago, and today I have my revenge!" Wang Dalin was not willing to be outdone and said: "Lamar, you have to understand that we are the ones who will win today!" Odom smiled and said: "Anyway, our team is almost at the bottom of the Western Conference. So what if we beat you today? I only care about whether I can win back a victory over you, kid. I don't care about the rest!" Wang Dalin was speechless and could only roll his eyes. Odom smiled and said: "You're just kidding, you won't take it seriously, right? By the way, kid, actually I think your style is very similar to mine. If we partnered, we would be very powerful. What do you think?" Wang Dalin laughed and said: "You can pull me down! If we are on the same team, who is in and who is out?" Odom smiled and said: "What's the problem? I'll play inside and you can provide support from the high position. Let me tell you, if we work together, we won't be afraid of even that 'shark'. We can sneak him to death." Do you believe it?" Wang Dalin didn¡¯t answer. At this moment, he simulated the situation in his mind when he and Odom became teammates, and found that it was exactly what Odom said When the two inside players on the same team both have very good outside shooting capabilities, they are really powerful. of! If he really encounters O'Neal, how do you want him to defend himself? Mentioning the high position to prevent projection? Do you still need an insider? Do you still need defensive rebounds? If that¡¯s the case, Wang Dalin and Odom can??Taking turns to fire from outside the three-point line is guaranteed to depress this "shark" to death. ¡­¡­ On February 16, the Heat challenged the Raptors away from home. In this game, Vince Carter seemed to have turned on the "God descends to earth" switch. The "demigod" scored 36 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. Even if Wang Dalin "buffs" Bruce Bowen, it won't help. When Carter breaks out with all his strength, no one can stop him these days. Fortunately, the Heat's Eddie Jones finally returned from injury. In this game, he did not flinch in the face of Carter's offensive frenzy. Instead, he clashed with the league's best swingman. Eddie Jones also scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in this game. Although Carter's performance was so explosive, he single-handedly supported the Heat's perimeter offense. Wang Dalin had a strained performance in the last game, but this game finally returned to normal, scoring 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Mason also scored 18 points and 8 rebounds, Hardaway contributed 16 points and 10 assists, and the Heat finally won the road trip 99:91. After the game, players from both sides hugged each other and paid tribute. When Carter hugged Wang Dalin, he lay in his ear and said, "Brother, how about coming to Toronto next season?" "What?" Wang Dalin's English is still very poor, and the fans at the scene were too noisy, so he really didn't hear clearly. "Brother, I mean how about you come to Toronto next season? The two of us will be no worse than the two in Los Angeles!" Carter had to slow down and speak loudly in his ear. "Brother this season is not over yet!" Wang Dalin showed an awkward yet polite smile. "I know" Carter smiled, "So we can leave our contact information first, and I will definitely call you after the season is over You must never not answer my call!" Wang Dalin quickly smiled and said: "How can that be done?" ¡­¡­ On February 18, the Heat continued their road trip, and their opponent this time was the Chicago Bulls. Since the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan retired, the Bulls have become a weakling. They have been at the bottom of the Eastern Conference for two consecutive seasons to be more precise, they are at the bottom of the league. So far this season, the Bulls have not lived up to their expectations and are still at the bottom of the league. After playing more than fifty games, they have only won 10 games! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? . Starting lineup: Center Brad Miller, power forward Elton Brand, small forward Ron Artest, shooting guard Ron Moser, point guard Bruce Drew. Do you think the first three look familiar? That¡¯s right, they are the three people you were thinking of! Although third-year Brad Miller has not yet grown into the All-Star center he will be in the future, he has already shown great potential. If the Bulls can let Miller focus on high-post support tactics, they will not be at the bottom of the league. You must know that Brand is already an All-Star power forward at this time, averaging more than 20 points and 10 rebounds per game. Coupled with the perimeter defender Ron Artest, who averages 11.9 points and 2 steals per game, and Ron Moser, who averaged 19.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per gamehas to be offensive and defensive, so where is his weakness? This Bulls team actually has only one weakness, and that is their point guard Bruce Drew. As the starting point guard, he averaged only 6.3 points and 3.9 assists per game! It can be said that as long as the Bulls can have a more reliable point guard, they will definitely be able to reach the top ten in the Eastern Conference, and it is not uncommon to even reach the top eight. As a result, the Heat, who ranked second in the Eastern Conference, lost to the Bulls, who were at the bottom of the league, 82:89, causing the biggest upset in the NBA in the past month. Wang Dalin was not without hard work. He scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. He also "buffed" Mason, who has performed best recently, but the Heat still lost. The main reason is that the whole team¡¯s touch is not online. Except for Wang Dalin, no one has a shooting percentage of more than 40% If we can still win, it will be a miracle! And "touch your head" is not a panacea. Mason only made 2 of 10 shots in this game. He only scored 9 points and 7 rebounds by relying on free throws. His performance was seriously abnormal. After beating the Bulls, the Heat lost to the Knicks on the road on February 21, with a score of 74:76. When shaking hands with the opponent after the game, Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy held Wang Dalin¡¯s hand and said with a smile: ¡°Young man, you played well in this game. I look forward to having the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future!¡± Wang Dalin almost suffered from "embarrassing cancer". He only made 4 of 12 shots in this game. Didn't he play well? Maybe in Van Gundy¡¯s eyes, as long as he¡¯s willing to defend hard he¡¯s playing well, right? cooperate? Even our Chairman Yao has made you useless, you are too cowardly to cooperate! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?He only made 4 of 12 shots in this game. Didn't he play well? Maybe in Van Gundy¡¯s eyes, as long as he¡¯s willing to defend hard he¡¯s playing well, right? cooperate? Even our Chairman Yao has made you useless, you are too cowardly to cooperate! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 54: Multiple Shows of Goodwill (2) (Third update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On February 22, the Heat finally welcomed Brian Grant back to their home court. After several weeks of training, the inside player who has performed well this season finally returned from injury, finally bringing some psychological comfort to the Heat, who suffered a losing streak on the road. Butit's just psychological comfort! Although the Heat were at home in this game, they still lost to the Phoenix Suns with a score of 85:100. All the players on the team seemed to be sleepwalking, unable to score on offense and unable to defend. The best performer on the team was Grant, who returned from injury. He made 9 of 14 shots and scored 21 points and 5 rebounds. Everyone else performed poorly. Especially Hardaway, who has been performing steadily before, only scored 3 points and 4 assists in this game. His performance was so bad that even Riley couldn't bear to scold him. On the Suns side, Marion had only played against Wang Dalin in the rookie game before. After the game, the two exchanged jerseys in a very friendly manner. Although "Hacker" looks very "majestic", he actually has a pretty good temper and is considered a rare good guy in the NBA. But when Wang Dalin saw his smile, he always felt that it was uglier than crying. "Brother, if you ask me, you can come to our team next season!" Marion said with a smile that was uglier than crying. "Look, our team not only has the number one point guard in the league, but also me, Rodney and 'Uncle Cliff', Coach Skiles is also a very good coach, isn't it much better than if you stayed with the Heat?" This is true, Jason Kidd is indeed the best point guard in the league, bar none! Rodney Rogers and "Uncle Cliff" Clifford Robinson are also very good players. "Hacker" Marion himself averaged more than 17 points and 10 rebounds per game this season, and is one of the top high-quality players in the Western Conference. forward. I have to say that the Suns are indeed very strong, and their current record is slightly better than the Heat. But they are in the West At least as long as the "big shark" of the Lakers has not slipped from its peak, the Western teams can at most touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals! In addition, Wang Dalin, a senior fan, knows that Kidd will leave the Suns for the Nets next season, and the Nets will also reach the Finals Of course, they were swept by the Lakers in the Finals. The next season, the Suns traded for Marbury, but they didn¡¯t even make the playoffs ¡°Hmm¡­what did you ask me to do? Standing on the court and watching the "lone wolf" singles? ¡°Besides, if you want to recruit me, do you have to do it when I lose? It¡¯s okay to lose. I only had 9 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in this game Are you sure you can like me? Since Jones and Grant retired due to injuries, Wang Dalin has served as the starter for many consecutive games. Until these two returned, he returned to the sixth man position. The playing time is not much less, but the feeling of the game is much worse. Throughout the history of the NBA, some players are naturally suited to play the sixth man role, such as Jamal Crawford and Lou Williams. These two guys really don't perform as well when they start as starters as they do when they come off the bench. And most players are like Wang Dalin. After entering the starting lineup and playing for a period of time, they will always feel uncomfortable playing on the bench. For example, Iverson has never played as a substitute in his life, and even when his condition was getting worse at the end of his career, he was unwilling to play as a substitute, so that he later simply went to Europe to play. Wang Dalin just laughed at Marion's recruitment, and leaving each other's contact information was just a social etiquette. Even if he is almost certain to leave the Heat next season, he will definitely not want to be a teammate with a "lonely force" like Marbury. "If Kobe or O'Neal also come to recruit me, should I go to the Lakers?" In the locker room after the game, Wang Dalin couldn't help but said in his mind, "Of course it would be great to join the Lakers, and I'm guaranteed to win a championship!" ¡­¡­ On February 25, the Heat faced the Nets at home, and the two sides fought another classic defensive battle of this era. It¡¯s said to be a defensive war, but it¡¯s actually an ¡°iron war¡±! The players of the Heat and Nets seemed to be competing to see who was stronger. The sound of shots from both sides was "like an endless stream of water." The final score was naturally pitifully low - 70:75, and the Heat won. Wang Dalin came on as a substitute for 28 minutes and scored 14 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists on 5 of 15 shots. He was the highest scorer in the game. Sure enough, after the game, Kenyon Martin and Stephon Marbury had a "very happy chat" with Wang Dalin, and both expressed their willingness to cooperate with Wang Dalin.Wang Dalin was speechless about this, because one of the two was "alone" and the other was in the same position He didn¡¯t know whether he should praise these two guys for their ability to judge peopleor should he secretly laugh at them for not overestimating their abilities? Even if he really wants to go to the Nets, it will be because Kidd will come next season, and if Martin continues to stay in the team, the Nets can only touch the floor of the Finals. In fact, if the Nets had replaced their main power forward Kenyon Martin with Kevin Garnett in the two years of 2002 and 2003, I am afraid that the Lakers and Spurs would have been overthrown by them. ¡­¡­ On February 28, the Heat faced the Wizards at home. Wang Dalin did not expect that Mickey Richmond, the legendary superstar, would actually recruit him. Although there is no doubt that the Heat will win this game, Richmond, a veteran who is about to turn 36, performed well. He scored 20 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, but his shooting rate was a bit low. Just 5-for-19 from the field. The last time Wang Dalin saw someone with such a shooting percentage and still get high scores was undoubtedly the "bearded" James Harden whom he saw on TV in his previous life. There is a saying, when you can get more than 10 free throws in a game, this in itself is a full reflection of personal ability. Because when you calculate his true shooting percentage, you will findit's really not low! ¡­¡­ On March 1, the Heat challenged the 76ers away from home. In this game, Hardaway stopped due to knee discomfort, and the Heat lost as expected. Without the core point guard, and Riley did not allow Wang Dalin to provide support in the high position where he is most comfortable, the team's offense naturally stumbled, without any smooth feeling. Of course, this is also related to the opponent's tough defense The team coached by Larry Brown will never be good at offense, but the defense is absolutely awesome! You can tell just by looking at the score - 69:79! Being able to defend the Heat like this, it is estimated that only the 76ers in the entire league can do this. After the game, Iverson also took the initiative to come over and say hello to Wang Dalin. Although he did not explicitly mention recruitment, Wang Dalin still "knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song" and heard the "answer" in the "answer" words. Wang Dalin also didn¡¯t expect that since the All-Star Weekend, he would become a ¡°hot potato¡± and everyone seemed to want to recruit him. This is also due to the fact that he will become a restricted free agent at the end of the season, because as long as you can pay a price that makes the Heat feel painful, you are very likely to get this rookie with extraordinary potential. And if nothing happens, Wang Dalin will almost definitely win the Rookie of the Year award this season, and his worth will be even higher by then. Regardless of his final destination, the Heat should be unable to match the offers given by each team (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 55 You did it on purpose, right? (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After losing the game against the 76ers, Riley was in a very bad mood. The Heat's original record was 36 wins and 21 losses, while the 76ers were 37 wins and 20 losses. If the Heat can win this game, they will have the same winning rate as the 76ers. The 76ers are first in the Atlantic Division, and the Heat are also first in the Southeast Division. When their records and winning percentages are the same, their mutual records are the key to determining who ranks higher. So far this season, the Heat have lost their first two games against the 76ers, and they have lost all three times this season. This means that even if the Heat have the same winning percentage as the 76ers at the end of the season, their ranking will only be lower than the 76ers. What's more, they are now 2 games behind the 76ers, and there is little hope of equaling the 76ers' winning rate. This kind of "blocking battle" defeat in which losing one game is almost equivalent to losing two games is obviously the most difficult to accept for the Heat who want to occupy a favorable position in the playoffs. You can imagine how depressed the "divine fortune teller" is now. On March 3, the Heat challenged the Pistons away from home. This was another key battle, because the Pistons are currently ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference and are obviously the weakest team in the league. If you want a good record, you must score points against such a weak team. After all, even if you can win against a strong team, it will not be easy. The Pistons sent out the starting five they have used throughout the season for this game: point guard Chucky Atkins, shooting guard Jerry Stackhouse, and small forward Michael Curry (this name is very good and powerful). ), power forward Joe Smith, center Ben Wallace. The Heat¡¯s starting five are point guard Tim Hardaway, shooting guard Eddie Jones, small forward Bruce Bowen, power forward Anthony Mason and center Brian Grant. Since the Heat signed Stan Van Gundy, a chubby assistant coach, in the middle of the season, the team's perimeter defensive strength has been significantly improved under his training. But for Wang Dalin, the arrival of Van Gundy is not a good thing. It is precisely because he gradually shifted the team's defensive focus to the outside that Wang Dalin lost his starting position. Wang Dalin¡¯s defensive attitude is of course nothing to say, but his defensive ability can only be said to be passable. ? 65 inside defense, 60 outside defense, this level of defensive ability No matter inside or outside, he can only limit the opponent's substitute players, and he is still quite reluctant to face the offense of the starting players. Generally speaking, Wang Dalin is currently considered a strong offensive and defensive player. If he is given more offensive opportunities on the bench, his precise mid-range shots can often make the opponent's bench lineup miserable. And if you put him in the starting lineup, let alone how many shooting opportunities he will have on the offensive end, he will be easily targeted by the opponent on the defensive end alone. Fortunately, Wang Dalin finally adapted after several less successful substitute appearances and gradually became a leader in the second team. This is also normal. Dan Marley, A.C. Green, Don McClung and Duane Coswell are quite old in the Heat's substitute lineup this season. Eddie House is too immature and Ricky Day is too young. Weiss is just a fool. If Wang Dalin can't seize the opportunity to perform, he will be really sorry for his overall ability value of 81. As for Todd Fowler, if the Heat had not had to maintain a minimum roster of 14 people, he would have been cut like Ernest Brown and Jamal Robinson. After the game started, the Pistons' offensive rhythm was not slow at all. Their movement speed and ball transmission speed were very fast. After all, their head coach is now George Irving, not Larry Brown. Compared to Brown, who only emphasizes defense, Coach Irving obviously prefers offense. The teams he coaches never deliberately slow down the pace of the game in order to reduce points lost. That¡¯s right, the core concept of the old man Brown¡¯s so-called defensive tactics is to reduce the rhythm and reduce offensive and defensive rounds, so that even if they lose, it will not be ugly. After all, the opponent¡¯s score will probably not be high. Making a bold assumption, if the Pistons coached by Brown in 2004 replaced Rasheed Wallace with a power forward without shooting ability, it would be surprising if they could beat the "f4" Lakers in the finals! Don¡¯t overestimate Ben Wallace¡¯s individual defense capabilities. This guy did restrict O'Neal once under the basket, but it was only for one or two games. Most of the time, like everyone else, he was tortured by the "big shark"! Of course, most of Coach Irving¡¯s offensive tactics are to let the team¡¯s stars play in singles (this period mainly involves letting Stackhouse play in singles), and heNow that he doesn't know how to coach defense, otherwise, how could the Pistons he coached not even make the playoffs? The Heat have been very defensive this season. After the game started, although the Pistons played smoothly offensively, their shooting percentage was not high. Especially their team's scoring leader Stackhouse, who scored 7 points in 6 minutes in the first quarter. 0 hits. ???????? If Atkins hadn¡¯t been hanging up, the Heat might have led by double digits in the first quarter. At the beginning of the game, Atkins took the lead in showing off his power. The small point guard suppressed Hardaway on both offense and defense. He is very fast, almost always breaking through when attacking, and he does not hesitate to stalk Hardaway on defense. The old Hardaway can't keep up with him at all. Although the Pistons' defense is not very good, the Heat's offensive efficiency is not high - the Heat's starting players in this game seem to be unable to find their shooting touch. Just looking at the records of the two sides this season, anyone will think that this is a disparate competition. In fact, the two sides play back and back, which is basically evenly matched. With 2 minutes and 46 seconds left in the first quarter, Wang Dalin was replaced and he replaced Mason as the power forward. At this time, Eddie Jones was the only starting player on the Heat field. His touch was not good today, so he decided to let Wang Dalin lead the offense. The backup point guard was Eddie House. He dribbled to the frontcourt and handed the ball directly to Wang Dalin without any sloppiness. What is a firm revolutionary friendship? Compared with his anxious passing vision, House obviously has more trust in Wang Dalin. After he passes the ball, he actively runs. As the season draws to a close, House has gradually replaced Anthony Carter and become the Heat's current first choice for backup point guard. Jones fell to the right corner. He had been playing for nearly 10 minutes and was physically exhausted. At this time, he just wanted to relax a little. House used Green's screen to quickly go around from the baseline. Just as he got rid of the chasing Martin Cliffs, Wang Dalin's pass had already been passed. After receiving the ball, House did not shoot directly. The chance to shoot was fleeting. He could only give Green a signal to call for a pick-and-roll. Green mentioned the left wing as a screen for House. House wanted to break through by himself, but in the corner of his eye, he saw Wang Dalin running quickly behind him, so he quickly passed the ball hand to hand and helped him block the defensive player. "Whoops!" Wang Dalin caught the ball and hit a three-pointer. Since the three-point ability has been increased to 85, regardless of whether the shooting percentage has improved or not, Wang Dalin's confidence in shooting three-pointers has indeed improved greatly. After Wang Dalin made this three-pointer, both sides made two offensive mistakes This kind of scene is not unusual at all in this game, it is completely normal operation. The score came to 20:21, and the Pistons led by 1 point. Looking back, on the Pistons side, Stackhouse played Marley in isolation, using the cover of power forward Brian Cardinal to change positions, and his defender was replaced by Wang Dalin. "This ball must be defended!" Wang Dalin lowered his center of gravity and spread his arms to increase his defensive area as much as possible. Stackhouse held the ball in one hand and made a pose. Unfortunately, his name was not Tracy or Michael. The same pose was quite different in beauty. Wang Dalin was fully focused, but he still underestimated Stackhouse and overestimated his own lateral speed. It is true that his lateral agility of 66 is considered good among inside players, but it is still a bit slow compared to a forward and defensive swingman like Stackhouse. "Whoops!" This mid-range emergency stop jumper was hit, and the score reached 20:23. The Pistons led by 3 points, with 5 seconds left in the first quarter. "F*ck!" Wang Dalin couldn't help but cursed in his mind, "Stackhouse, you're a deadbeat. When I wasn't on the court, you made 0 of 7 shots. As soon as you came on, you started acting crazy This wasn't intentional. Are you embarrassing me?" Seeing Wang Dalin¡¯s gloomy expression, House comforted him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Wang, run faster later, I¡¯ll pass it to you after halftime, you give him one back!¡± Wang Dalin smiled bitterly in his heart: "It's only 5 seconds, you really think highly of me" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 56 Who else? (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! There are only 5 seconds left. No matter how fast Eddie House dribbles, he will only have 2 seconds at most after reaching the frontcourt. Including the time to catch the ball and take off, Wang Dalin had no time to make any moves. Even if some of the NBA's best shot-killers are called upon to shoot this kind of ball, such as "Michael. I'm everywhere. Jordan" or "Larry. Everyone is here to compete for second place. Bird." I'm afraid The hit rate is no more than 30%. The only thing that Wang Dalin is slightly better than the above two "forcing kings" is that he is taller. At least his vision is slightly better when taking action! "Ding It has been detected that the host is about to face the first buzzer-beating shot in his career, and the system has issued a temporary mission 'Knowing Shot'!" "'Knowing Shot': If the host makes this buzzer-beating shot, the system will reward the host with a 100% shooting percentage in the next 5 shots in the game! If the host fails to make a shot this time or misses the shot, the host will be punished This game¡¯s physical fitness decay rate increases by 40%!¡± Wang Dalin read the mission introduction as fast as lightning. He was so frightened that he almost threw himself on the street How could there be time to retreat at this time? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If I had known that Stackhouse had a better expression on his face when he made that ball upon the street, If he hadn't shown that bitter face, how could House, his best friend, be so excited that he would feed himself the ball to "return one"? Looking at the sky "The damn "Americans" are all confused by "Superman", "Batman" and "Spider-Man". Why do you worship heroism so much? Why do you have to play "answer-ball"? Why do you have to ask the driver to keep up with the car in front of you when taking a taxi? Why do you have to cook a bowl of noodles? ¡­¡­Nonsence! It¡¯s similar to a TVB drama! Fak! If you can't make the shot You don¡¯t have enough physical strength to begin with, but you still consume 40% faster? This game is completely ruined! ¡­¡­ Soon after, Wang Dalin received a pass from House as soon as he ran past the logo in the center circle. He looked up Damn it! So far! Just when he raised his head, there were only two seconds left on the timer above the opponent's backboard, and the opponent's power forward Brian Cardinal even had one foot on the three-point line "Isn't this a big open seat?" This thought flashed through Wang Dalin's mind when he took off, "I bet on you" Jumping into the air, pressing the ball on the wristthe orange basketball left the fingertips of Wang Dalin's right hand, spinning and flying towards the basket. The more than 22,000 spectators at the "Palace Arena of Auburn Hills" all held their breath. Wang Dalin always felt that this moment seemed to have suddenly turned into slow motion, just like the flying shot of "Brother Glasses" in "Slam Dunk" A whole episode of three-pointers¡­ ¡­¡­Nonsence! How could Lao Wang have Takehiko Inoue¡¯s ability to write as many words as he wanted? ¡­¡­ tnt TV station, Barkley and Smith only had time to say "Oh", the ball had already hit the backboard with a "bang", and then passed through the basket with a "swish". "Buy it!" Buckley and Smith stared at each other with big eyes, and a blush appeared clearly on their dark faces, as if they were ashamed of themselves for the embarrassment they had never seen in the world just now. The next second, these two live treasures started arguing again "Looking at your disgrace and your useless filing just now, I really want to slap you twice" "Hey don't be so mean. When you come out to fish, you have to give others a step to step down. If you want to slap me twice, why don't I want to punch you twice?" "OhKenny, you old boy are tired of living? How dare you play real PK with the great Sir Charles? Don't you know that Shaq was defeated by me back then?" "A good man is not only brave but also brave! Shaq is just bigger. In fact, everyone knows his true combat power. I can knock him down at any time!" ¡­¡­ The ball was scored, and Wang Dalin stood stunned on the spot. The three-point ability of 85 is indeed very good in this era. As long as you don't have to fight against the defense and shoot, it is normal to shoot more than 40% of the three-point shooting rate. But Wang Dalin¡¯s shot was just past the midfield logo and at least 10 meters away from the basket. Such a long distance it was purely based on deception. Until 2014, when the point guard who looked like an elementary school student began to take a large number of ultra-long three-pointers, in fact, the NBANo one in the league has ever practiced shooting from this distance. Even super three-pointers like "Larry. Everyone is here to compete for second place. Bird" can only rely on blindness. Bird: "I am self-aware, and I will never force myself if I can't pretend!" House jumped up excitedly and jumped directly into Wang Dalin's arms. This gestureWang Dalin felt extremely ashamed! Before he could blush, he saw Grant, Mason, Hardaway and others on the bench surrounding him. Each of the burly men immediately pressed Wang Dalin to the ground. They were screaming and shouting, as if they had scored the buzzer-beating goal, and they were as excited as they were. Wang Dalin was so crushed that he almost burped on the spot The feeling of "man on top of man" was really overwhelming! Then everyone got up and jumped back to the locker room surrounded by Wang Dalin, as if the game had been won. After all, this is just a buzzer-beater at the end of the first quarter The score is now 23:23, and the two sides are still tied! After returning to the locker room, Riley finally cooled down the excited players with a cold face. After everyone calmed down a little, Riley saw that there was not much rest time between periods, so he briefly arranged the offensive tactics: "In the next attack, Wang mentioned high-level support, and when there is a chance, he will shoot by himself, and be decisive just Just like the ball you just made!" Nonsense! Of course he is very determined! "My next 5 shots were 100% successful!" ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? That¡¯s a mallet! It can be imagined how collapsed the Pistons were at the beginning of the second quarter. Wang Dalin just passed the half-time, and immediately took action after receiving the ballit went in! Another catch just after halftime scored again! It¡¯sin again! Double£¡ Enter! ¡­¡­ The most speechless thing is Every time Wang Dalin shoots, he will point to the floor and tell the opponent's defensive player: "Hey, I'm going to shoot! Just shoot here! Why don't you come and guard me?" With his height of 211cm and wingspan of 231cm, with sufficient preparation, who can block his shot head-on? Even if you ask the opponent's power forward to stand on stilts, he can only sigh - "I can't do this!" Wang Dalin didn¡¯t know that his act of pretentiousness actually attracted many players to imitate him later on. Of course all of them failed to show off and were slapped in the face! The Pistons only relied on Stackhouse to hit the basket and score a goal. Wang Dalin made all five three-pointers. After a 15:2 climax, the Heat led by 13 points at 38:25, directly beating the Pistons. The fight stopped. Wang Dalin was completely excited. When the timeout whistle blew, everyone walked to the bench. When they stood in the center circle, they shouted to the sky - "Who else is there?" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel .com Chapter 57 Highlights Battle (1) (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! When Wang Dalin walked to the bench, the home fans behind the bench booed him and cursed him. The home fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills are already furious. The soul is weak! How dare you show off like this on our territory? Jordan didn¡¯t even dare to do this back then! Why are you a rookie? Back on the bench, before Wang Dalin could sit down, Riley couldn't help but give him a bear hug: "Good job, kid! Keep hitting them like this later, and I'll kick their butts hard!" The atmosphere on the Pistons bench was a bit gloomy. Head coach George Irving held the tactical board and thought for a long time, and finally said: "As long as the rookie gets the ball in the frontcourt, let's double-team him!" The Pistons generals all looked up at him, all with disbelief in their eyes. What is this for? Treat that Chinese rookie like a superstar? Coach Irving looked gloomy and added: "Don't look at me like that, everyone has seen the rookie's performance today. Don't think it's an exaggeration, today he is a superstar!" The game continued, and the Pistons replaced the starting five ahead of schedule. Wang Dalin immediately felt that the Pistons' defensive intensity against him had significantly increased by more than one level. As soon as he arrived in the frontcourt, he was closely watched by Joe Smith. As Wang Dalin took the ball on the left wing, the opponent's point guard Atkins immediately came over. "Is thisthey want to double-team Wang?" Riley frowned, stood up involuntarily and shouted, "Wang, don't stick to the ball, pass it quickly" Before he finished speaking, Atkins had already snatched the ball away from Wang Dalin and immediately started a fast break. "Fuck!" Wang Dalin quickly chased after the mistake. The Heat couldn't defend in time, and Wang Dalin ran back to his own half alone. Atkins got a one-on-one opportunity in the frontcourt, so he took advantage of Wang Dalin's lack of close contact and directly pulled up and hit a chasing three-pointer Fortunately, it didn't go in. Wang Dalin quickly picked off the rebound. "Fortunately, it was just a false alarm!" Wang Dalin passed the ball back to House, and he couldn't help but feel scared, "If this ball goes in, I won't be able to save my face!" ??Goals are not terrible, whoever makes mistakes will be embarrassed! Since Wang Dalin hit the buzzer-beater in the first quarter, he has been extremely arrogant in five consecutive attacks. If he is beaten back, won't he immediately become a "human background board"? Coming to the frontcourt again, Wang Dalin was double-teamed by the opponent after catching the ball at the free throw line, which scared him and hurriedly passed the ball. He has already seen it. The Pistons were obviously a little overwhelmed by his five consecutive three-pointers, and they have begun to focus on him. As soon as he gets the ball, the opponent will definitely double-team him. He currently has a comprehensive ability of 81, which is equivalent to an NBA starting player. He is not yet capable of handling this level of defensive intensity. Double-teaming has always been a tactic used to deal with superstars, but using it to deal with a rookie like Wang Dalin is really a bit of a waste of money. However, once this big move came out, Wang Dalin was indeed restricted enough and was forced to play without the ball. Fortunately, this guy's ability to move without the ball and catch and shoot is pretty good, so it's not unacceptable to play without the ball. After the timeout, Jones on the Heat's side has already taken a rest, but Riley replaced two starters, Grant and Mason. Since Wang Dalin¡¯s offensive firepower was temporarily restricted by the opponent, Mason and Grant naturally took over the offensive banner. Internal attack inside line strong attack Both sides used internal attack tactics, but both sides' internal defense was very good. The hit rate of this tactic can be imagined. I can¡¯t say that the inside line guarded by Mason and Grant on the Heat side is impregnable. At least it is not easy for the Pistons to score goals in the inside line. The Pistons¡¯ official center is Ben Wallace, and his interior defensive ability is definitely among the top three in the Eastern Conference. With "Big Ben" guarding the inside, even if O'Neal wants to hit hard, it will not be easy, let alone Grant and Mason? I saw Grant hit a shot under the basket, and Smith also "reciprocated" and returned the previous one Mason hit again, and Smith returned another one Nearly 4 minutes passed, and each side had 4 attacks. All of them were successful, and the score was still 38:25. Wang Dalin saw that this was not going to work, so he took advantage of the baseline kick and hit HouseSaid: "Give me the ball later!" I still don¡¯t believe it You double-teamed me when I caught the ball from outside the three-point line? Facts have provedThe Pistons are really double-teamed, even if Wang Dalin is outside the three-point line! The soul is weak! How dare Shu Zian do this? Do you really think that my average of more than 5 assists per game is fake? Since it is a double-team, it means that the opponent has at least two people to defend Wang Dalin. There will definitely be someone on the other side of the Heat who is open. How could Wang Dalin, who is 211cm tall, not see this opportunity? "Whoops!" House received the ball on the right wing and immediately succeeded in a mid-range shot - if he can still hit the ball in such a wide open space, then he might as well stop playing in the NBA. 40:25, the Heat lead by 15 points. ¡­¡­ With Wang Dalin frequently supporting at the top of the three-point arc, the Heat finally regained their offensive firepower and their shooting percentage returned to normal. The Pistons' internal offense was not going well. Atkins and Stackhouse began to play frequent singles on the outside, and the efficiency was actually good. Of course, it was Atkins who had good offensive efficiency. He scored 8 points on 3 of 4 shots in the second quarter. Stackhouse has completely transformed into a "blacksmith" in this game. After making 1 of 8 shots in the first quarter, he contributed a wave of 0 of 4 shots in the second quarter. Stackhouse¡¯s touch improved slightly in the second half. Although his shooting percentage was still not high, he relied on his sharp breakthroughs to frequently foul and gained many free throw opportunities. Wang Dalin's high-post support on the Heat's side was so good that the Pistons finally dared not continue to double-team him, otherwise a pass from this guy might be given to an open teammate. After three quarters, the score was 78:68, with the Heat leading by 10 points. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the situation on the court suddenly changed. Atkins and Stackhouse on the Pistons continued their strong output, and Joe Smith also made consecutive hits in the mid-range. The main players on the Heat side were basically resting off the court and were caught off guard. By the time Riley saw that something was wrong and called a timeout, the Pistons had already chased the score to 89:88, and the Heat were only 1 point ahead. Although Wang Dalin has only played about 25 minutes so far, he has scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, mainly because he hit all his first six shots, and they were all three-pointers. In the first half, he scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Already scored 24 points. And when the Pistons focused on guarding Wang Dalin, he started his passing performance at the right time, and the number of assists continued to rise. No matter how this game ends, he has already played his most brilliant single performance this season. With 6 minutes and 27 seconds left in the game, he hopes to improve his single-game scoring and rebounding records. Seeing Wang Dalin return to the stage, the audience suddenly booed harshly. Wang Dalin smiled slightly and thought to himself: "Being treated like this by the home fans is considereda great honor, right?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 58 Highlights Battle (2) (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Wang Dalin continued to support from the high position, and Joe Smith¡¯s defensive position was only about one meter away from him. He didn't dare to neglect at all. Although Wang Dalin has never shot from outside the three-point line since he hit those 6 three-pointers, who knows if he will shoot another three-pointer? And it¡¯s the kind of person who points to the floor and declares in a loud voice, ¡°I¡¯ll vote here¡± Smith would bet that if Wang Dalin served like this again in front of him, he would probably be too embarrassed to stay on the court Grant mentioned the high position to cover Wang Dalin, and Smith chose to go around the pick-and-roll, still "never leaving" Wang Dalin. Wang Dalin dribbled the ball and moved a step to the left. While Grant was in front of him, he pulled it up and shot directly. "Whoops!" This mid-range shot nearly 6 meters away from the basket was made. Wang Dalin¡¯s personal score in this game also reached the number 34. Grant smiled and ruffled Wang Dalin¡¯s hair: ¡°Good shot, boy!¡± Wang Dalin also "reciprocated" by giving him a "touch on your head" and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, you can continue to come over and give me a pick-and-roll. After blocking, remember to run to the point where you can shoot the most accurately!" Grant, who was "buffed", understood: "ok!" The Heat led by 3 points at 91:88, and the Pistons chose to let Atkins, who had the highest offensive efficiency in the game, play Hardaway alone. Atkins made a triple-threat move with the ball and was not in a hurry to dribble through. Although both are small guards, Hardaway definitely deserves the title of "Dribble Master", while Atkins can only be regarded as a younger brother in terms of dribbling skills. Atkins¡¯ idea for this goal is very simple: It¡¯s better to hide one¡¯s weakness than to show one¡¯s embarrassment! He knew very well that he would not be able to compete with him technically, so he would compete with his physical fitness. Unlike Hardaway, a scarred veteran, Atkins only entered the NBA in 1999. Now he is young and energetic and has not been injured yet! Atkins¡¯ official height is 180cm, which is slightly shorter than Hardaway. According to Wang Dalin¡¯s visual inspection, this guy¡¯s height is definitely less than 180cm, and is only 178cm at most. ??This guy is limited by his height. Although he is very motivated when defending, his defensive effect is relatively stretched. Basically, the starting point guards of all NBA teams can perform well when facing him. However, his breakthrough speed is very fast, and his three-pointers are also quite accurate, and he often performs well on the offensive end. With this ball, Atkins used his speed to break through after the triple threat action. Hardaway started a step too slowly and was directly passed by him, watching him go to the basket. "Ouch!" Jones hurriedly came over to cover the defense. Atkins did not force the ball, but flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Stackhouse, who was in the open position at the moment. "Whoops!" Stackhouse, who had previously made 2 of 19 shots, finally lived up to Atkins' trust with this ball. The ball got into the basket without any hesitation, and a wave of water suddenly appeared on the white net. 91:90, the Pistons are still only 1 point away. Looking back, Grant continued to cover Wang Dalin in the high position. Wang Dalin took away the defense and passed the ball, and Grant made a mid-range shot. 93:90. As Wang Dalin once again contributed assists, the fans at the scene discovered that this guy's data was about to reach a triple-double. If you can score a triple-double of 30+ points in your rookie season, no matter whether a senior has done it before, at least no one has done it before the age of 19. As the saying goes: Be famous early! Entering the league at the age of 18 has this kind of advantage! With the NBA ban in 2006, it was clearly stipulated that players must be one year after graduating from high school and must be 19 years old before they can participate in the draft. Kobe's long list of "youngest men" records only entered the league at the age of 18. Only then did James have the conditions to break through. Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t know that he has already assisted 7 times in this game. He just prefers to use high-position support tactics when attacking. Because of his height, movement speed and shooting ability, the opponent will inevitably be able to expand the defensive range, and the Heat will naturally have more offensive options. Unconsciously, Wang Dalin and his teammates played more and more like the Kings this season. The same large number of high-position support, the same smooth attack Regardless of whether the ball can be scored in the end, in the words of the famous basketball commentator Zhang from CCTV: "This ball was really 'reasonable'!" The Heat's offense went very smoothly in the last few minutes of this game. Although they were also attacking in a half-court position, their screens, runs and shots all seemed so easy, and they hit?Of course it can¡¯t be lower. On the other hand, the Pistons, except for Atkins, who was somewhat efficient in singles, basically no one else had any decent opportunities, and their shooting percentage gradually dropped to less than 40%. With 45 seconds left in the game, the score has reached 107:96, and the Heat lead by 11 points. Seeing that the situation was over, Pistons coach George Irving called a timeout and replaced all the starting players, obviously giving up on the game. Since the opponent has surrendered, Riley has also replaced all the main players such as Wang Dalin on the Heat's side. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????This is purely to form a deadly feud with the opponent. For the Heat, the Knicks are the only one in the league who can let them do this. That¡¯s because the Knicks have been at the top of the regular season in the four seasons from 1991 to 1994, and are also strong contenders for the championship. However, in the summer of 1995, team coach Pat Riley resigned as head coach and joined the Heat as the team's general manager and head coach. The angry Knicks submitted a complaint to the league, accusing the Heat of illegally contacting Riley during his contract. The Heat paid a first-round pick + $1 million in cash, and the feud between the two teams was forged. What¡¯s even more dramatic is that starting from the 1996-1997 season, the Heat and the Knicks met in the playoffs for four consecutive years, and the Heat lost three times. ¡­¡­ Stackhouse¡¯s shooting touch continued to be sluggish in this game, but he was very good at drawing fouls. He made 15 free throws and made 13 of them. He actually scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists in the game. If you don¡¯t look at his sports performance of 4 of 23 shots, this data can be considered an All-Star level! Ben Wallace only scored 2 points on 1-of-3 shooting, but he grabbed a full 20 rebounds. Seeing such data, many people will probably subconsciously thinkisn't this Dennis Rodman? There have been many rebounding masters in NBA history, but among those less than 203cm tall, Rodman is undoubtedly the best. This guy has won the title of "Rebounding King" for seven consecutive seasons, averaging 13.1 rebounds per game in his career, and won five championships with the Pistons and Bulls. The most talked about thing is that Rodman had 0 points and 28 rebounds in the Spurs' game against the Hornets on December 2, 1993. Compared to Rodman, Ben Wallace's statistics in this game are quite weird. Wang Dalin even thought that he shouldn't have made that shot. Wouldn't it be nice to get 0 points and 20 rebounds? The highest scorer on the Pistons team was Atkins. He made 15 of 28 shots and scored 36 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. He had his most glorious game of the season. Without Wang Dalin, Atkins must be the most handsome kid in the "Auburn Hills Palace Arena" tonight - yes, Wang Dalin also scored 36 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, and sent 10 assists. Since then, Wang Dalin has won the title of "The Youngest Mr. Triple Double in History" after winning the title of "The Youngest Mr. Double Double in History" last time.

After the game, Wang Dalin had just taken a hurried shower in the locker room when Riley took him to the press conference. After playing such a gorgeous battle, how could Riley not bring him to the press conference to show his face? The last time Wang Dalin participated in a post-game press conference was at the end of November last year, more than two months ago. Wang Dalin still remembers that it was the first time in his career that he scored 20 points in the regular season. It was in that game that he completed the temporary task of "Awakening from a Dream" and he got the "Maddie Qianpu" This is an S-level star skill. It has to be said that the "T-Mac Pull-Up" is really good. Without this unique skill, how could he score 36 points in today's game? The ESPN reporter asked: "Coach Riley, you did not put Darling King in the starting lineup for this game. What was your consideration?" Riley¡¯s expression remained as usual, but he was already cursing secretly in his heart: ¡°Is it really true that I don¡¯t want to open the pot? Is this a disguised way of saying that I have poor eyesight?¡± But how could a veteran like him answer like this? He smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I already made this decision during yesterday's training. Instead of letting Wang compete with the opponent's starting players, it is better to let him lead The second team opens up the situation!¡± After speaking, he blinked and smiled: "It turns out that my arrangement is very effective. Wang hit two consecutive three-pointers as soon as he came on the court. The second one was the buzzer-beater. Everyone has not forgotten it, right? " "I just didn't expect Wang to be in such good shape tonight. He made 7 three-pointers in this game!" Riley continued, "Wang opened up the situation with three-pointers, and the opponent will naturally guard him tightly. , so I changed my strategy and asked him to provide support in the high post, and it turns out that I did it right again Wang's passing level is as good as his three-pointer!" Christine Ledlow, a beautiful reporter from TNT TV station, directly "turned the gun" and asked Wang Dalin: "Darling Wang, first of all, I have to congratulate you for breaking the NBA's record of 'Youngest Mr. Triple Double'. Secondly, I want to Let me ask you this: When you hit that buzzer-beating three-pointer at the end of the first quarter, did you know you were going to make it?" Wang Dalin laughed out loud and said: "How is that possible? You have to knowit was shot from the center circle. Who can guarantee that it will go in?" Laidlaw smiled and said: "It seems that our new 'youngest Mr. Triple Double' is very humble!" Wang Dalin smiled slightly: "Humility is a very noble moral character, and it is also an etiquette that everyone should abide by when interacting with others! China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, so I have always been very humble. For example, if you want to ask me If I am confident that I will win the 'Rookie of the Year' award this season, I will definitely tell you I am confident!" Laidlaw didn¡¯t expect Wang Dalin to be so humorous. After hearing this, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. The media reporters from all over the world who were present were all made to laugh by Wang Dalin. Seeing everyone laughing non-stop, a male reporter suppressed his laughter and quickly asked: "Darling Wang, do you think you're the best?" Isn¡¯t it possible that the record of Mr. Young Triple-Double will be broken? In other words, how long will it take for it to be broken?¡± Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Any record out there is meant to be broken, and the same goes for the 'Youngest Mr. Triple Double'. I think that as long as there are a few more young super geniuses like Kobe Bryant in the future, , I¡¯m afraid my record will be broken in the near future!¡± When answering this question, Wang Dalin was thinking about the milestones in his system tasks, such as "breaking any NBA regular season single-game record for points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks". He could directly specify any one. The ability value is directly increased to 99. And if he ¡°breaks any NBA single-season data record for points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks,¡± he will get an ¡°Evergreen Badge¡± worth 100,000 points. With such generous rewards, one can imagine how difficult these milestones are. ??Single game scoring record of 100 points, single game rebound record of 55, single game assist record of 30 times, single game steal record of 11 times, single game record of 17 blocks Single-season scoring record 4029 points, single-season rebound record 2149, single-season assist record 1164, single-season steal record 301, single-season block record 456 Even if Wang Dalin¡¯s ability values ??have reached 99 at this moment, he dare not say that he will definitely be able to break these records. Unless he is in the glorious career mode of the 2k game, or in a basketball cool article at some point (Lao Wang: If you really want to write like this, won't you be scolded by readers?). On the other side, ?When asked by reporters what defensive arrangements he made for Wang Dalin in this game, Jersey head coach George Irving said helplessly: "How do you want me to arrange it? Darling Wang made 7 consecutive shots tonight." A three-pointer. Later, I arranged for the players to follow Wang closely as long as he gets the ball in the frontcourt, but his passing is so good He had a triple-double tonight, and he scored 36 points. , his performance is phenomenal! When a player performs phenomenally, any defensive deployment will have no substantial effect!" Chucky Atkins, who also scored 36 points tonight, sat next to Coach Irving, his face full of disappointment. It's not that he feels disappointed because reporters don't ask him questions, butwhy the hell am I sitting here? ¡­¡­ After the game, Hardaway suggested that everyone go to the nightclub to have fun together. Wang Dalin politely declined because he was too tired. It¡¯s actually okay to go to a nightclub to celebrate after a great performance, but Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t think it¡¯s interesting He¡¯s not even allowed to drink alcohol, so I¡¯m going to go play knitting! After returning home, he lay on the bed and opened the system interface in his mind. After scoring a triple-double in this game, he has successfully completed "10 assists in a single game in the NBA regular season", "a double-double of points and assists in a single game in the NBA regular season" and "a double-double in a single game in the NBA regular season" Achieving a triple-double of points, rebounds and assists in a single game" three milestones, and received a total of 11,000 points as rewards. Considering that Alonzo Mourning is about to return, he may appear more at the small forward or power forward position. Combined with his current technical characteristics, Wang Dalin decided to use these points to improve his outside defensive capabilities. After scoring tens of thousands of points, his perimeter defense immediately rose from 60 to 70, and by the way, he also raised his steals from 48 to 59. After adding points, he took a look at the comprehensive ability value, which was still 81. Wang Dalin had no choice but to curse in his heart: "You are a (profiteer) businessman!" Although he didn¡¯t know the system¡¯s standard for upgrading the comprehensive ability value, he already had a vague feeling: I¡¯m afraid he would have to upgrade all the ability values ??to 99 before the comprehensive ability value would rise to 99. As he completed 13 single-game regular season milestones, the rest are very difficult. The easiest one is "scoring 40 points in a single game in the NBA regular season." He feels that scoring 36 points in this game is already his limit at this stage. He wants to score 40 points in a single game unless his physical strength can be improved to above 90. You know, the main reason why he was able to score 36 points in this game was because he had 5 three-pointers that he was sure to make. If you exclude this, he would have scored 21 points today. As for those single-season milestones, he could only say with tears "I can't do it, my concubine!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 60 unanimous praise (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On the night of March 3, the news that Wang Dalin scored a triple-double spread rapidly throughout the United States. There is no doubt that triple-doubles are still very scarce these days, especially large triple-doubles such as 30+ points, and Wang Dalin is not yet 19 years old. ¡°Sports Illustrated¡±, the most famous sports media in the United States, devoted an entire page to publishing this news. The title was ¡°Heat¡¯s Chinese Rookie Makes a Blockbuster, Scores Big Triple-Double¡±! In addition, another well-known sports media in the United States, "Bleachers", has a more detailed report. They published five articles about Wang Dalin, one of which described Wang Dalin's life in detail, including his experience of winning the national high school basketball championship in China. On March 4, ESPN TV launched a special interview program. They invited retired basketball stars Dominic Wilkins, Moses Malone, Nate Thurmond and "Dr. J" Julius. Irving served as a guest and had a wonderful discussion on Wang Dalin's phenomenal single-game performance. "I want to say that Darling King's performance last night was absolutely phenomenal!" Moses Malone said with a smile, "Everyone sitting hereincluding me of course, who can perform such a performance under the age of 19? " "You can't say that!" Julius Erving said with a smile, "You have to know that at that time we didn't have many players who directly participated in the draft after graduating from high school!" "That's right!" Wilkins said, "If I enter the NBA at the age of 18, I can also hit a triple-double before the age of 19, and it will be the same 30+ triple-double as Darling King last night!" Nate Thurmond said sternly: "You can pull him down! Little guy, if I remember correctly, you have never hit a triple-double in your career, right?" Thurmond was born in 1941, and Wilkins was born in 1960. Calling him "little guy" is not an insult. Wilkins blushed and said harshly: "Even if I can't do it, 'Dr. J' will be fine, right?" Moses smiled and said: "I have been teammates with Julius for four years. Whether he can do it or not, I think I should have a say, right?" When he said this, he even winked at "Dr. J", and for a while the two former teammates were full of "gay love". "Dr. J" smiled and said: "Stop talking, Moses, I have this self-awareness. Even if I enter the league at the age of 18, I probably won't be able to perform like Darling King did last night before I turn 19!" Our players at that time were still more interested in dunking, and few were so focused on passing and assisting!" Julius Erving was indeed a first-line star in the league from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, but when comparing Wang Dalin's age, you have to look at his performance in college. He studied at the University of Massachusetts in college. He averaged 32.5 points and 20.2 rebounds per game for two years in college. His performance was indeed quite explosive, but he has never been an assist master. Mond nodded and said: "Yes, it would be easy for me and Moses to have a double-double, but it would be difficult for us to send out 10 assists in a single game!" Thurmond is indeed the first recorded player in the NBA to score a quadruple-double in a single game, but this does not mean that he can easily hit a triple-double. In fact, although he averaged 15 points and 15 rebounds per game in his career, he only averaged 2.7 assists per game. The same is true for Moses Malone. He averaged 20.6 points and 12.2 rebounds per game in his career, but his assists per game were lower than Thurmond, only 1.4. Wilkins smiled and said: "What you are saying is that Darling King indeed performed a phenomenal performance. This performance can be regarded as unprecedented, right?" Moses Malone smiled and said: "I don't know if it will never be unprecedented, at least it can be considered unprecedented!" "Dr. J" nodded and said: "Yes, before Darling King, the only person closest to this kind of performance was Erwin, but he was already 20 years old when he entered the league!" The Ervin he is talking about is "Magic" Earvin Johnson, the greatest player in the history of the Lakers bar none! "Magic" is extremely good at passing the ball. He has played 138 triple-doubles in the regular season in his career. If he also enters the league at the age of 18, maybe he can really hit a triple-double in a single game before the age of 19, and this "most The record of "Young Mr. Triple Double" will be unbreakable for a long time. In fact, there are three "youngest triple-doubles" among active NBA players this season. On December 23, 1993, in the Warriors¡¯ home game against the Clippers, Chris Webber, who was only 20 years and 297 days old, scored 22 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists; April 16, 1997, against CelticIn the Hornets game, 20-year-old and 247-day-old Antoine Walker scored 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, breaking Weber's record; Just five days later, in the Grizzlies' game against the Suns on April 19, 1997, Abdul-Rahim recorded his first career triple-double, with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. At that time, he Only 20 years and 129 days old. After four years, young Wang Dalin has greatly refreshed this record, because he is still 14 days away from his 19th birthday! With such a record, who knows who else can break it in the future? Even in Wang Dalin¡¯s previous life, when LaMelo Ball broke the record for ¡°Youngest Mr. Triple-Double¡± on January 10, 2021, he was already 19 years and 140 days old. Being able to have a record is not a bad thing for Wang Dalin. Anyway, he will definitely create more records in the future Why not be able to go his own way and leave others with nowhere to go? On March 5, Wang Dalin¡¯s triple-double was still going on, but he didn¡¯t have time to pay attention to what the media said about him, because tonight the Heat will challenge the Cavaliers away from home in Cleveland. Originally, this game was scheduled to be broadcast live across the United States, and David Stern was extremely satisfied with the schedule. As the saying goes, "You have to eat hot food even if you eat shit." Taking advantage of the fact that Wang Dalin's craze is at its peak, how attractive will it be to fans to see Wang Dalin in a national live broadcast? Can the ratings get any worse? The "non-mainstream cross talk group" of tnt TV station is online again. Before the game even started, Smith joked: "Charles, do you want to make a bet with me tonight?" Buckley's old face was as thick as a city wall. He said without changing his expression: "Bet? Why bet? Do you think I would still bet on Darling King? No, no, no You are wrong, Kenny! To Darling, We should have the most basic respect for Ling Wang, the youngest triple-double in NBA history, and betting against him is obviously too frivolous!" Smith smiled and said: "Let's bet on whether Darling Wang can hit a triple-double tonight. If he can do it, I will win. If he can't, I will win. How about you?" Buckley immediately perked up: "What's the bet? Or eating chocolate egg pancakes?" ¡­¡­ As a reward for Wang Dalin¡¯s wonderful performance in the last game, Riley arranged for him to enter the starting lineup for this game. The Heat¡¯s starting five are Wang Dalin, Grant, Mason, Jones and Hardaway. Wang Dalin moved to the center position again in this game. Since "Big Z" Ilgauskas was injured for the season, the Cavaliers' partner was Chris Mihm, a rookie center. Mim is 213cm tall and weighs 120kg. He is the kind of meat shield center that every team in that era longed to have. So when we saw that he was able to average 17.7 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game in his junior year, the draft market How could it be any worse? In fact, Mihm was the seventh overall pick in the first round of the 2000 draft, and then began his mediocre career. ¡­¡­ Looking at Wang Dalin, whose eyes were completely level with his own, Mim couldn't help but sneered: "How shameless are the Heat? With Darling Wang's height, can they even report 206cm?" "Compared with the bulky Mimu, Wang Dalin is obviously higher in both jumping height and speed, and his wingspan is also obviously advantageous. He easily won the first attack ball for the Heat. And when Wang Dalin came to the frontcourt and caught the ball in the high post again, the Cavaliers' starting five seemed to have a chill in their vests This kid, can't he get another triple-double on our team? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 61 Quasi triple double (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! (Dear readers, although today is April Fool¡¯s Day, Lao Wang¡¯s updates are always the same. I wish you all a happy April Fool¡¯s Day!) Since the Cleveland Cavaliers joined the NBA in 1970, they have made the playoffs more than a dozen times, but their performance in the playoffs has never been good and they have never made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. So far this season, the Cavaliers are ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference, and it is almost impossible to reach the playoffs. Facing such a weak team, the Heat, which ranks second in the Eastern Conference, are naturally confident and are bound to defeat them in the away game. The Cavaliers¡¯ starting lineup for this game is point guard Andre Miller, shooting guard Jim Jackson, small forward Matt Halprin, power forward Krall Witherspoon, and center Chris Mihm. The current scoring leader of the Cavaliers is Andre Miller. This second-year rookie averages 15.9 points per game You can imagine the scoring ability of the Cavaliers players. There is no way to do this. The main center "Big Z" is reimbursed for the season due to a toe injury. The team can only let Andre Miller, who looks exactly like Karen Mok, take the lead. Fortunately, Miller lived up to his expectations, averaging 15.9 points and 8.1 assists per game, which was quite good. And everyone else in the team also contributed. Witherspoon averaged 11.6 points per game, Ramon Murray averaged 12.8 points per game, Chris Gatlin averaged 11.4 points per game, and Halprin also averaged 11.2 points per game. point. It can be seen from the points per game that the Cavaliers are a team with everyone. Although they do not have a super scorer who averages 20+ points per game, their offense is not very bad. And because they don¡¯t rely on one person when attacking, it¡¯s difficult to have a key target to defend when defending, and they can only treat everyone equally. After Wang Dalin held the ball at the top of the three-point arc, the other four members of the Heat team all opened up. It was obvious that Wang Dalin was going to beat Mim alone on this ball. Mimu quickly lowered his center of gravity and moved back a little in his defensive position. His footsteps moved very slowly. Once Wang Dalin broke through, it would be difficult for him to keep up. Although Wang Dalin is as tall as a center, his movement speed is quite good, even compared with the most popular "Wolf King" Garnett in the league. This season he plays power forward most of the time, and his speed advantage is not obvious yet, but against a "silly" meat shield center like Mihm, his pace can easily reach the sixth floor in one breath No effort! Seeing that Mim was close to 2 meters away from him, Wang Dalin no longer hesitated and jumped up directly. Mimu threw the ball very fiercely, and his height and wingspan are not bad either. At least it caused some interference. However, Wang Dalin's pull-up was added with the "Maddie pull-up buff". This interference was almost like a sprinkle of water for him "Wow", the ball was scored! Mim couldn¡¯t help but tighten her anus He¡¯s coming He¡¯s coming He¡¯s going to score three points in a row again! I have to say that Wang Dalin made 6 consecutive three-pointers in the last game. The scene was really shocking. Looking back, Andre Miller dribbled the ball past half-court. Facing Hardaway's close defense, he was calm and used Mihm's pick-and-roll to break through to the basket. Hardaway pursued the defense very quickly, and Miller didn't shake him off at all, so he dribbled with his back, took two steps toward the basket, then turned over and shot a jumper, and the ball went in. ??Among the league's point guards during this period, Andre Miller is definitely among the best at back-up play. ?? Sean Livingston, who has not yet entered the NBA league at this time, is also a good player at this, and he also looks a lot like Karen Mok How else can we say that people who look like Karen Mok are good at back-up play? Wang Dalin complained in his heart. The game had to continue, so he went to the top of the three-point arc to receive the ball. Mim was very close this time. He would rather be broken by Wang Dalin than be beaten by him again. Wang Dalin called for a screen, and Grant came over to help him block Mihm. Wang Dalin dribbled through, attracting Mihm and Witherspoon to double-team him. "I was double-teamed just after the second ball? The Cavaliers really think highly of me!" Wang Dalin didn¡¯t dare to neglect the ball. Faced with two big men surrounding him, he raised the ball high and passed it to Grant, who had already run out of the open space. "Shua", the ball went in. Maybe it¡¯s because Wang Dalin¡¯s performance the night before yesterday was too amazing. The entire Cavaliers team focused on guarding him, and the rest of the Heat team had opportunities to attack. Wang Dalin is also happy to pass the ball to his teammates. He has never been a player who likes to force his offense. The main reason is that this guy values ??his own efficiency. As long as his shooting rate is low, he willFeeling bad all over. There are many stat brushes in the history of the NBA. For example, Zach Randolph before he went to the Grizzlies. He was even averaging 20+10 per game at that time. But anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he is a charlatan at a glance because of his shooting percentage. too low. Wang Dalin is completely different from this kind of people. Of course he values ??his personal data, but he pays more attention to high-level data, such as offensive efficiency, true shooting rate, assist rate and so on. As for output such as scoring and rebounding, he doesn't value it too much. In this era, most people do not have this kind of thinking, so in the eyes of many people, Wang Dalin is a very "selfless" player in playing, which can be seen from the fact that he averages more than 5 assists per game. Take this season as an example, apart from No. 21 of the Timberwolves, Wang Dalin is the only inside player in the league who can average 5 assists per game. In this game, the Cavaliers players were very afraid of Wang Dalin at the beginning, so they guarded him very closely. As a result, Wang Dalin took the opportunity to send several assists to his teammates. When they came to their senses and started to stop guarding Wang Dalin so tightly, Wang Dalin took the opportunity to beat Mim alone. In this way, at the end of the first half, the Heat led 56:45 by 11 points. Wang Dalin scored 10 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1 block in the half. His performance was very comprehensive. This season, Wang Dalin often struggles to defend starting-level opponents, but the Cavaliers do not have any strong offensive players, so he also performed so-so on the defensive end. Except for that block, he did not make any mistakes. . In the second half, Riley arranged for Wang Dalin to attack more. He also spotted the defensive weakness of the opponent Mimu. Wang Dalin attacked directly from the outside. The advantage in speed is really obvious. Poor Mim, a young man who was forced to serve as the team's starting center in his rookie season. If he was in the three-second zone, he could still support some people. Even if Mourning came back for the Heat, he could even barely support him, but Wang Dalin's A center who is used to being active on the outsidehe really has nothing to do. Looking back on the offensive end, Mim's advantage in strength is not as big as people think. He does have height and weight, but his strength is not exaggerated, at least it is only slightly stronger than Wang Dalin. After fighting against him several times, Wang Dalin felt that Mim¡¯s power was not necessarily stronger than Paul Pierce. After three quarters, the Heat led by 17 points, 79:62, and the fourth quarter basically became garbage time. Wang Dalin played only 27 minutes in this campaign and made 9 of 14 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He efficiently scored 23 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 block. Only one rebound fell short of consecutive triple-doubles. After the game, the Heat flew back to Miami overnight. On March 6, they had to face the Pistons back-to-back. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 62 Pseudo rotation (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Unlike the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Pistons met the Heat again after three days. This is far from being described as "feeling". But they immediately felt at ease when the game arrived in the evening, because Wang Dalin did not start the game. The Heat's starting lineup has never appeared this season: center Duane Causwell, power forward Grant, small forward Bruce Bowen, shooting guard Eddie Jones, and point guard Eddie House. Not only did Wang Dalin not start the game, even Tim Hardaway and Anthony Mason sat on the bench. Wang Dalin, who is familiar with history, knows that Pat Riley has obviously begun to prepare for the playoffs, because he has begun to "rest." Riley and Popovich are still different. This "rotation" is not the other's "rotation". Riley didn't sit key players out for the entire game, he just reduced their playing time. For example, Hardaway, Jones, Grant and Mason, as long as they can play, their playing time will not be less than 36 minutes. Jones is in his prime, which is fine, but Hardaway and the others are not young. The latest news is that Alonzo Mourning's kidney transplant operation was successful and he is expected to be back in late March at the latest. Without Mourning as the "spirit of the team" this season, it is commendable that the Heat have achieved second place in the Eastern Conference, but how can Riley be satisfied with just showing off in the regular season? The playoffs are the most important! The regular season is coming to an end, and the most important thing for the Heat right now is to keep all members healthy, especially the main players. Riley believes that as long as the players can stay healthy and Mourning returns strongly, the Heat will be able to make a difference in this year's playoffs. In Wang Dalin¡¯s view, Riley¡¯s move was just a matter of taking off his pants and farting. He wanted to take a rotation but did not dare to do so blatantly, creating such a ¡°pseudo rotation¡±. Although Riley calls this "rotation", Wang Dalin also believes that this is just an increase in rotation. If you have the ability, you can take a break from Hardaway in this game, Grant in the next game, and Mason in the next game Can the four main players line up to take a break? Are you afraid of wool? Maybe Stern can also directly fine him? Are you thinking too much? It¡¯s not that Wang Dalin has a high vision, but he thinks that Stern should look down on the Heat¡¯s ¡°so-called stars¡±. If Hardaway were five years younger, his popularity would be quite high. After all, he was the strongest short player before Iverson entered the league, and his style of play was gorgeous. But now that he is 34 years old, how much of his previous lightning speed is left? Let¡¯s talk about Jones. He was just selected into the All-Star team last season and averaged 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. However, he has missed 19 games due to injury this season, and his average data has also dropped a level compared to last season. So far, he has only Averaged 17.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game In addition, Jones has a boring personality. As early as when he was with the Lakers, his popularity could not be compared to that of the "rookie" Kobe. He was selected into the All-Star team last season as a substitute selected by the coach! Let alone Hardaway and Jones, even if you call Mourning back, in Stern's eyes, can he still be comparable to Iverson, Kobe, O'Neal, and Carter? Although the Heat have a good record this season, are there any Heat players in this year's All-Star Game? Mourning¡¯s fan votes are pretty good, but he can¡¯t participate at all, so what¡¯s the use? Andeven if Mourning can participate in the All-Star Game, how many fans can he attract with his "simpler" skills than Duncan? Whether Riley is willing to admit it or not, the Heat's popularity among fans this year is not high. The team lacks popular stars, and no matter how good the record is, it is useless! This is why the Lakers had a bad record after Kobe Bryant ruptured his Achilles tendon, but the Staples Center was still full of people every night at the Lakers' home court. Without himfans love to watch Kobe! In this game, the Heat easily defeated the Pistons 90:82. Several main players in the team did not play much playing time. Jones, who played the most playing time, only played 28 minutes. Wang Dalin played a total of 25 minutes and scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. His performance was similar to his average level. The best performer in this game was Dan Marley. He came off the bench and played 33 minutes, scoring 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists Well, who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? ? ???As I said, he was also selected into the All-Star lineup back then! On March 8, the Heat lost to the Mavericks at home, with a score of 96:104. Several of the Heat's main players still played less than 30 minutes in this game. Hardaway scored 21 points and 10 assists. Mason also had a good performance with 16 points and 15 rebounds, but the Mavericks obviously performed better. . Nowitzki scored 29 points and 5 rebounds, Nash had 18 points and 9 assists, Sean Bradley had 10 points and 16 rebounds, and Juwan Howard had 16 points and 14 rebounds. Jordan¡± Michael Finley had 16 points and 5 rebounds¡­ With the Mavericks performing so strongly, how can the Heat win? Wang Dalin¡¯s performance in this game was mediocre. He made only 5 of 12 shots and only scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, which was not even comparable to his season average. On March 10, the Heat faced the Timberwolves at home. Facing the strong challenge from "Wolf King" Garnett, Wang Dalin stepped up and scored 22 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, which was not inferior to Garnett's 23 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. However, the Heat still unfortunately lost, the score was 92:100. The reason why the Heat lost was mainly because Wally Szczerbiak shot like crazy. The great shooter made 13 of 20 shots from the field, including 5 of 8 three-pointers and 6 of 7 free throws. He scored 37 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, completely destroying the Heat's perimeter on his own. On March 12, the Heat challenged the Knicks away from home. This game is very important to the Heat, not only because the Knicks are also a strong team in the Eastern Conference, the victory or defeat of both sides may even affect the final ranking of the regular season, the most important thing is the grudge between the two teams. As mentioned before, the Heat¡¯s only mortal enemy in the league is the Knicks, so why is Riley willing to take a ¡°pseudo rotation¡± in this game? Not to mention the four main players, even Wang Dalin played 35 minutes. The resultthe Heat still lost. In this extremely fierce game, both sides played playoff-level defensive intensity. The final result proved that Jeff Van Gundy was slightly better at coaching defense. Although this bald man still doesn¡¯t have many offensive options, he can¡¯t stand up to Alan Houston and Glenn Rice, who can shoot accurately! With both sides shooting less than 40%, they both shot 50% Wang Dalin struggled a bit in this game. He made 4 of 11 shots from the field and only got 10 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist This was also the fewest assists he had in a single game this season. On March 13, the Heat played back-to-back away games against the Timberwolves. In this game, Eddie Jones showed off his power for the Heat. He made 12 of 25 shots from the field, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 9 of 11 free throws. He scored 36 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. However, "Wolf King" Garnett also broke out. He scored 31 points, 17 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks. The final score was 96:101. If Riley hadn't still reduced the playing time of the main players in this game, we really wouldn't have lost. After suffering a 4-game losing streak, the Heat finally won at home on the night of March 15th, against the Sacramento Kings. Riley seems to be using the "pseudo rotation" to the end. No one except the Knicks can make him change this strategy. The main players didn¡¯t have much playing time in the first few games, so they didn¡¯t consume much. The Kings just had a hard battle with the Magic yesterday, and their physical fitness was obviously lacking, so they knelt down this time. On March 17, the Heat had no game. Wang Dalin was a stranger in a foreign land, so he had to invite his only friend Eddie House to come home to celebrate his 19th birthday. He didn¡¯t expect that Eddie House also brought his fianc¨¦e, Michael Bibby¡¯s sister, Charlsie Bibby. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 63 Mourning returns (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Many people don¡¯t know that Eddie House¡¯s wife is actually the biological sister of Kings star Mike Bibby, named Charlsie Bibby. Of course, Mike Bibby is still with the Grizzlies this season. House and Chalcy had known each other in college and had been in love for many years. By this time in 2001, they had already reached the stage of discussing marriage, and were planning to hold a wedding in this year's offseason. So at this moment, Charles is not only House's girlfriend, but his fianc¨¦e. A "senior" fan like Wang Dalin actually didn't know about this incident. He knew a little bit about the early relationship between Kobe and Vanessa, but who did Eddie House marry? How could he know? This guy thought House was a single guy just like him! Who would have thought that she has already found a partner and is about to enter the "siege" of marriage. ¡°Charlie looks like her brother. Although she has black blood, her skin color is no different from that of white people. Moreover, her facial features are quite delicate and her figure is very tall. Standing next to Eddie House, she is only slightly shorter. There is no way, Charles is 178cm tall barefoot, and House is only 185cm tall with shoes on. If Charles were wearing high heels, House would probably be shorter. Although it was Wang Dalin¡¯s birthday, he still had to cook the meal himself. After all, House and his wife were guests, and besides knowing how to fry an egg, they didn¡¯t know much about anything else. In the past few months, Wang Dalin¡¯s diet can be said to be very healthy. In addition to eating nutritious meals in the team during training, he also pays great attention to diet and nutrition when he returns home. Before joining the Heat, he still felt a little precarious. After paying the rent, he didn't have much money left, and even wanting to eat well was a luxury. Since you are already a professional player, you have to be responsible for your body. It would be too childish to just eat a few slices of bread for breakfast like before. Since he signed the salary contract in July, Wang Dalin has spent no less than 2,000 US dollars every month just on food. Later, after he started receiving salary, he doubled the food standard. It is said that LeBron James spends millions of dollars every year to maintain his physical condition. Of course, that is not just food expenses, but also trainers, nutritionists, personal doctors, etc. Wang Dalin's current annual salary is only 320,000 U.S. dollars. He cannot afford such a high expense, but 4,000 U.S. dollars a month is only spent on food, which is still very good You must know that he can still be there whenever the team trains. The team is enjoying a nutritious meal! The main course for dinner is sirloin steak, and a large pot of tomato and beef brisket soup. The dessert is fruit salad. There are not many types of dishes, but it is enough to fill your stomach. The drinks were freshly squeezed orange juice and a bottle of red wine - Wang Dalin himself couldn't drink, but House and his wife didn't have this taboo. Charlie bought a birthday cake for Wang Dalin. Wang Dalin was a little speechless when he saw her carefully placing 19 candles on the cake. It¡¯s cool to put one candle in there, but why put in so many candles? Are all Americans so honest? ????????????????? If it¡¯s a 70th birthday, the size of the cake is how do you insert it? After lighting the candles, Charles smiled and said: "King, make a wish!" Wang Dalin closed his eyes and made a wish as he was told, and then blew out the candles Fortunately, his lung capacity was very high, otherwise he would not be able to blow out so many candles in one breath. "Brother, what wish did you make?" House asked curiously. "What else can I wish for? I definitely want to find a girlfriend as cute as me in the coming year!" Chalsi said seriously. Wang Dalin: "" Can I say no? My wish is clearly to unlock the system ability value and advance to the next stage as soon as possible! He now has three ability values ??in mid-range shooting, three-point shooting and outside defense that have reached the upper limit of this stage. If he has 7 more ability values ??that reach the upper limit, he can be unlocked to the next stage. If we look at it normally, there is definitely no hope for this season. Wang Dalin is quite satisfied with being able to achieve this step before the All-Star Weekend next season. But people Of course they are greedy! If you can reach this point during this season or the offseason, wouldn't it be so exciting? The simple birthday "dinner" ended quickly, and House took his wife back to do whatever he loved. Wang Dalin packed up the pots and pans like a family cook, then took a shower and went to bed. As a professional player, adequate sleep is very important. How can you maintain a good condition like Deng who plays every night? At onceHe goes to nightclubs until late every night, so what can he do without Kardashian? After his birthday, the Heat¡¯s regular season journey continues. On March 18, the Heat faced the Grizzlies at home. Sharif Abdur-Rahim, the second pick of the 1996 golden generation, performed very well and scored a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds. However, Mike Bibby performed poorly. He made only 2 of 11 shots from the field and scored 5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. His performance was not as good as the bench players on the team. Wang Dalin scored 16 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in this campaign, which is considered a normal performance. Eddie House came on as a substitute for 26 minutes and scored 16 points and 5 assists on 7-of-13 shooting. His performance impressed Riley and other members of the coaching staff. The Heat won this game without any suspense, the score was 99:85. So far this season, House has averaged less than 14 minutes per game, but he averages 7.4 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, shooting 44.2% from the field and 34.5% from three-point range, ranking second among Heat substitute players. Wang Dalin. Moreover, House signed a 2+1 contract with the Heat, with a base salary of only US$320,000 in the first year, US$470,000 in the second year, and US$640,000 in the third year. If nothing unexpected happens, the Heat will definitely implement the third term. Year's team option. After all, it is not easy to find such cheap, high-quality and young substitute players. Only Wang Dalin on the Heat bench can be better than House in terms of cost performance. Others such as Marley, Coswell and others are not cheap. On March 22, the Heat faced the Bulls at home. Before this game, the Heat welcomed a long-lost big man, their "team soul" Alonzo Mourning. Mourning is recovering well after his kidney transplant surgery. In fact, he had contacted Riley before March 15 to return to the team. Riley asked him to rest at home for an extra week to be on the safe side. On March 21, Mourning participated in the team's joint training again after many days. Wang Dalin noticed that Mourning had maintained his figure very well and was still as strong as when they met last year. The muscles on his arms were full of strength at first glance. ¡°Moreover, Mourning seemed to be in very good condition as soon as he participated in the team¡¯s joint training. If everyone didn¡¯t know that this guy had just undergone a kidney transplant surgery, they might not have thought that it had happened. "Brothers, thank you for your hard work!" Mourning said to everyone with a smile at the end of the training, "Now that I am back, we are united, and the Heat will definitely win the championship this year!" Hardaway, Marley and other Heat veterans were all excited and took the lead in cheering. Jones, Grant, Mason and others also followed suit and shouted loudly. Wang Dalin is also quite excited. With Mourning returning, the Heat's strength will definitely improve again. I'm afraid this year's playoffs will really start. However, Mourning did not play on March 22. Riley still maintained a conservative attitude towards his most proud disciple. He did not want Mourning to consume too much in the regular season. Although Mourning did not appear, the Heat still defeated the Bulls 109:81 in this game. It seems that Mourning's return has given everyone a big boost to their self-confidence. Hardaway, in particular, made 9 of 15 shots in this game, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, 7 of 9 free throws, and scored 28 points and 9 assists. A great gift for the return of the boss. On March 26, the Heat faced the Spurs at home, and Mourning still did not appear. In this game, the defensive intensity of both sides was very high. In the end, the Heat narrowly won 88:83. Although Tim Duncan scored 26 points and 14 rebounds, and David Robinson also scored 18 points and 9 rebounds, the Heat's Hardaway was no less impressive with 25 points and 8 assists, and Wang Dalin scored 17 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. An all-round performance in assists. On March 28, the Heat faced the Raptors at home, and Mourning finally came on as a substitute (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 64 Chemical Reaction (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! This season, the Heat's record was once ranked second in the Eastern Conference, but Riley was a little lax during the "pseudo rotation" in the first few games. As a result, they were overtaken by the Milwaukee Bucks, and are currently one win behind the Bucks and ranked third in the Eastern Conference. In terms of team strength, they should be slightly better than the Raptors, who are currently ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference. Especially with the return of team boss Mourning, the Heat players are as excited as if they were drunk. This is a "blocking battle". A win or a loss may affect the final ranking of the season, so both sides attach great importance to it. I thought that the Heat and the Raptors would be inextricably tied in this game, but I didn¡¯t expect that they would play badly. The Heat still showed a high level on the defensive end, but they played awkwardly on offense for no other reason Mourning is back! Yes, Mourning's sudden return made the Heat players seem like they no longer know how to play. After dozens of regular season games, the Heat's offensive routine has become quite smooth. Either Hardaway, a traditional point guard, organizes the game at the top of the three-point arc, or Wang Dalin comes outside the three-point line to provide high-post support, while other players follow tactical movement and pick-and-roll. When the situation cannot be opened up, Eddie Jones or Anthony Mason can play singles on the wings. Their singles ability is also very good, and their offensive efficiency is not low. But now that Mourning is back, as long as he is on the court, the first thought of the players is to pass the ball to Mourning in the low post. Mourning has obviously been out of action for a long time. Although he performed very well in training, he is still a bit stretched in real games, and his low offensive efficiency is very low. In this game, the Heat lost to the Raptors 92:101. The game was as unsuspicious as the score. The Heat were suppressed by their opponents throughout the game and never took the lead. Mourning played 20 minutes and scored 9 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist on only 3 of 11 shots. His game feeling is still there, but it is obviously difficult to adapt to the intensity of the "stuck battle" at the end of the season. Mourning thought he would stage a "Return of the King" show, and the game was even broadcast live across the United States, but he was embarrassed. "Alonzo is obviously still a little uncomfortable with the rhythm of the game. I believe he will be able to regain the form of last season by playing a few more games!" "That's right! None of us can expect Alonzo to perform well as soon as he takes the field after undergoing kidney transplant surgery. This is unscientific!" Barkley and Smith, the "non-mainstream crosstalk team" of TNT TV station, expressed sympathy for Mourning's poor performance in this game. After all, they both saw how fierce Mourning was last season. Isn¡¯t it just a kidney transplant? ??????????For "tough guy" Alonzo Mourning, is this a big deal? On March 30, the Heat challenged the Bucks away from home. This game was more critical than the previous game against the Raptors, because the Bucks currently happen to be second in the Eastern Conference, while the Heat are third in the Eastern Conference. If the Heat win this game against the Bucks, they still hope to surpass the Bucks at the end of the season and take second place in the Eastern Conference. If they lose this game, everything will be over. The Heat may never have a chance to rank second in the Eastern Conference this season. Riley directly gave up the "pseudo rotation" and allowed Jones, Hardaway, Mason and Grant to all play more than 35 minutes. Mourning still came on as a substitute in this game, and his playing time was the same as the previous game for 20 minutes. He scored 8 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist on 4 of 8 shots from the field. His efficiency seemed pretty good, but he didn¡¯t make a single free throw in the entire game and did no real damage to the Bucks in the paint. On the other hand, the opponent's starting center Earvin Johnson (not Magic), although he only scored 1 point on free throws, he grabbed 13 rebounds, including 4 offensive rebounds. Bucks substitute power forward Jason Caffey also scored 9 points and 11 rebounds, including 5 offensive rebounds. In "Slam Dunk", Kanagawa Prefecture's No. 1 center Takenori Akagi once said: "If you control the rebounds, you can control the game!" In this game, the Bucks grabbed 51 rebounds, including 14 offensive rebounds, while the Heat only grabbed 36 rebounds, including only 9 offensive rebounds The result is obvious, the Bucks controlled the rebounds, so they won the game! On April 1, the Heat challenged the Bulls away from home, and they finally won. If even the Bulls, a team at the bottom of the league, cannot win, the Heat players and coaches may not be able to face their third-place ranking in the Eastern Conference. Mourning only played 16 minutes in this game. This time his offensive efficiency was much better. He made 4 of 6 shots and 4 of 6 free throws.?, scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. The best performer for the Heat was Hardaway, who scored 21 points and 10 assists, including 3 assists to Mourning. On April 4, the Heat faced the Celtics at home, and they lost again, with a score of 82:77. Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker, the "twin stars", both showed their strength in this game. "Truth" scored 33 points and 9 rebounds, and "Fat Tou Tuo" also scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. The Heat's game was too slow and they took too few shots. They made a total of 32 of 77 shots in the game, with a shooting percentage of only 41.7%. If the game is fast-paced and the number of offensive and defensive rounds is increased to 85-90, they can get at least 85-90 points based on this shooting rate. The Celtics' performance tonight may not necessarily win them. But when Mourning¡¯s playing time increases to 23 minutes, how can the pace of the game get faster? Mourning scored 11 points and 4 rebounds on 5 of 10 shots in this game. His shooting percentage was good, but his offensive efficiency was not high. Because just like the game against the Bucks, he had no lethality in the paint and only got 2 free throws in the game. Since Mourning¡¯s return, the Heat have had 1 win and 3 losses in the past four games. Compared with before, it can be said that they are completely like two teams. Mourning's personal win-loss average is also very low, only -4. In fact, the person who has the biggest impact of Mourning's return is Wang Dalin. He not only reduced Wang Dalin's playing time, but also took up many shooting opportunities that originally belonged to Wang Dalin on the court. As a result, Wang Dalin failed to score in double figures in these games. . The most important thing isthe team's originally good chemical reaction is gone! Speaking of chemical reactions, more experienced fans should have a deep understanding of it. For example, the "Lakers f4" in the 2003-2004 season, and the "Lakers new f4" in the 2012-2013 season, are the players' popularity high enough? But did they finally win the championship? In the 2003-2004 season, the Lakers managed to reach the Finals, and finally won the "Grand Runner-up". What about the 2012-2013 season? They were swept out by the Spurs 4-0 in the first round of the playoffs! Whether a team is strong or not sometimes depends on more than just how many stars you have. Even if you gather the "Big Three" or even the "Big Four", if the stars are not compatible, the strength is likely to decrease instead of increasing. And once the team's chemical reaction is good, like the Pistons in the 2003-2004 season, they didn't have a single superstar in the team, but they defeated the "Lakers f4" and successfully won the championship. The Heat's current problem is that the team's chemistry has deteriorated since Mourning returned, which is why they have played so poorly in recent games. Riley is very confident in Mourning. The former All-Star center is still very good. He believes that as long as Mourning plays a few more games, he will gradually return to form. But he didn¡¯t expect that his proud disciple would take the initiative to come to his office for an interview (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 65 Secret Talk (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! As a workaholic, Riley basically stays in the office until after nine o'clock every night before going home. Analyzing opponents, analyzing tactics, thinking about the next step of team building Maybe the head coaches of other teams are not so busy, but Riley is not only the head coach of the Heat, he is also the team's general manager. "Well, today's coffee is good!" Riley sipped the coffee and showed a satisfied smile. As a person born in 1945, although the "Magic Operator" always appears energetic and personable on the surface, in fact he is already an "old man" in his sixties. So after working long hourshe is used to drinking this kind of bitter coffee without any sugar or milk, which is the kind of coffee that some petty bourgeoisie in China like to play. "Pat, are you there?" A hoarse and deep male voice came from outside the door. Even with his eyes closed, Riley could tell that the person who came was none other than his proud disciple Mourning, so he quickly responded: "Alonzo, I'm here, come in quickly! " Mourning pushed the door open and sat down on the sofa without being polite to Riley. Seeing that Mourning looked unhappy, Riley deliberately joked: "Alonzo, what's wrong with you? Are you worried? I still have half a bottle of 1971 Romanee-Conti here. If your kidneys are fine, If so, how about we have a drink?" (Old Wang: Ah, are there any other wines like this? I only know the 1982 Lafite, so embarrassing) Mourning waved his hand and said: "Pat, you better drink alone! Although my kidneys are fine, I don't want to drink today!" "It seems that you are indeed in a bad mood!" Riley smiled and poured himself a small half glass of red wine, shaking the goblet slightly, "Is it because of your poor performance in these games?" Mourning raised his head and asked: "Pat, do you think I will never return to my peak?" "No!" Riley said immediately, "I don't think so!" "Pat, I don't want to lie to you, and I don't want to lie to myself!" Mourning seemed to have a layer of fog in his eyes, and his eyes were a little confused, "I have clearly felt in these games I really am not as good as before. I have become stronger, but I have lost my previous dominance in the paint, which feels terrible!¡± Riley frowned and said: "Alonzo, listen to me you haven't played well in these few games, that's why you doubt yourself. Believe me, you just haven't recovered yet, you can just wait and play a few more games. !¡± Mourning shook his head and said: "No, my feeling is not wrong! Pat, you have retired for too long, I am afraid you have forgotten the feeling of being a player." Riley smiled and took a sip of red wine and said: "Maybe you are right! But I have been a coach for almost 20 years and have met thousands of players. Many of them have experienced major injuries. In your situation, they all recovered later, and you were no exception!" Mourning pondered for a moment and said: "But they were all due to sports injuries, and I had a kidney transplant! Pat, has anyone in the NBA ever returned to the top after a kidney transplant? No!" Riley put down the glass, sat on the sofa opposite Mourning and asked: "Alonzo, do you really feel that you can't return to your peak? Are you willing?" Mourning waved his arm fiercely and said angrily: "I don't want to give in! Butwhat can I do if I don't want to give in? I am already 31 years old. Even if I don't undergo kidney transplant surgery, my condition will probably gradually decline! Although I don't want to Admit it, but I have to make this suggestion to you" After a slight pause, Mourning said with some dejection: "Pat, let me play as a substitute! I can still make some contributions by playing 20 minutes in each game. If I play more timeI'm afraid I will be a burden on the court!" Riley couldn't help but sit up straight and said seriously: "Alonzo, are you serious?" Mourning said: "That's right! Pat, I believe you have also observed that the Heat did not play well at all in the few games I came back. Tim, Eddie and Anthony all became incapable of playing! I know why, because I¡¯m on the court and they always want to pass the ball to me first!¡± Mourning clenched his hands tightly into fists, as if to express his dissatisfaction: "The team has played very well this season, and they have done a good jobI don't want the team's chemical reaction to suddenly change because of me. Collapse! Pat, promise me, let the team continue to play like before and let Darling King and Tim organize the offense together. Only in this way can we hope to win the championship!" Riley stared at Mourning, unwilling to speak for a long time. He knows that Mourning loves the city of Miami deeply, even more deeply.Follow the Heat, just like himself. He regards the Heat as his home and the Heat players as his family. If you ask who hopes the Heat can win the championship this season, Riley believes Mourning is definitely more eager than himself. This is a "tough guy" who regards basketball as his life. He values ??honor more than anything else. Compared with the championship, what does personal data count? What does it matter whether he is the boss of the team or not? "Pat, please promise me? I'm begging you!" When Mourning said this with tears in his eyes, Riley could no longer maintain a smile, and his eyes were red ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "Okay! I promise you!" Riley finally said slowly, his voice even a little hoarse, "I will assign you as a substitute in the regular season later this season, and I will also make the team based on your suggestions. Return to the same offensive tactics as before. But in the playoffs, you have to be ready to play as a starter at any time" After a slight pause, Riley whispered: "When it comes to the playoffs, I absolutely believe that you are more reliable than anyone else on the team!" When the team¡¯s star player gives up his personal data, his tactical status, and even the playing time he should have enjoyed the sacrifice he has made is too great! When Mourning quietly left the office, Riley drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, feeling the sweet and sour wine in his mouth, but he seemed to feel a little bitter. In 1995, Riley left New York and came to Miami with infamy. On the opening night of the regular season on November 3 of that year, he made a deal that shocked the entire league. The Heat sent Glenn Rice, Matt Geiger and Rivers to the Hornets in exchange for Pet Meyer, LeJon Ellis and All-Star center Alonzo Mourning. He has always liked to build a team with a super strong center as the core. Without Mourning, how could the Heat have made it to the playoffs in the past few years? In the past two years, among the "four major centers of the 1990s", except for O'Neal, the other three have shown signs of fatigue, and Olajuwon and Ewing are even more aging. In addition, Dikembe Mutombo, who once competed with Mourning for the title of "the fifth best center in the 1990s", is still in strong form, but Mourning suddenly fell from his peak due to kidney disease. You must know that last season he was also selected to the All-NBA Second Team and the All-Defensive First Team! And he was the Defensive Player of the Year last season Tonight, he came to tell his coach: "Let me play as a substitute" Riley sat blankly for an hour, and finally took a long breath. He took out the team's lineup from the drawer and drew a big circle on the name "Wang Dalin" with a pen (Remember Website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 66 Tactical Position (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Early in the morning on April 5, the Heat will fly to Washington, where they will challenge the Wizards away from home that night. Wang Dalin didn¡¯t expect Riley to be so courageous, although he knew that Riley had always been a very courageous coach. In the afternoon adaptation training, everyone simply shot layups. After the training, Riley announced an important decision-Wang Dalin will enter the starting lineup in the next regular season of this season and serve as the second core of the team's offense. . Once this decision was announced, all the Heat players seemed calm, as if everyone thought Riley's decision was a matter of course. Even Mourning looked calm. Everyone thought it was normal, but Wang Dalin was quite surprised. It¡¯s not like he hasn¡¯t started in the starting lineup this season, but he¡¯s only played in about 10 games in total. The most important thing is that with Mourning¡¯s return, the Heat have always used Hardaway as the core on the offensive end, even if Riley sometimes Jones is also the first choice when arranging star singles tactics, with Hardaway and Mason as the second choice. Since Mourning¡¯s return, he has been on the bench for about 20 minutes, but as soon as he comes on the field, the players will naturally regard him as the core of the offense, and Billy has great control over the ball. However, Mourning is not currently in his best condition. On the defensive end, he still has the eight-point success rate of the year, but his offensive performance is a bit unsatisfactory. It is precisely because of this that the Heat have lost 3 of the past 4 games, only defeated the Bulls, who are at the bottom of the league, and have completely lost the style of the third strongest team in the Eastern Conference. So everyone should be very clear that Riley will definitely make certain changes. When this decision was announced, everyone thought that Riley made the most correct choice. Maybe everyone didn¡¯t collect receipts and analyze data like the assistant coach of the team, but their feeling was correct. Facts have shown that when Wang Dalin holds the ball in the high post and provides support, the Heat's offensive efficiency is the highest, even better than Hardaway's organizational effect! These days, the NBA has not yet allowed zone defense. Wang Dalin's power in the high post is much greater than that of ordinary point guards. He can either call a pick-and-roll to look for an opportunity to make a jump shot, or he can use the pick-and-roll to break through and score the ball, or he can simply pull up from the outside. Wang Dalin has both height and wingspan, good jumping ability, and most importantly, his outside shooting ability is quite good. Not only is the mid-range shot accurate, but his three-point shooting percentage also exceeds 36%, which is better than most big men in the league currently. In addition, Wang Dalin plays "very selflessly" and almost never acts recklessly with the ball. He is always willing to pass the ball to his teammates, which is why everyone likes him as a rookie so much. It is true that Wang Dalin currently lacks low-post offensive ability, and his defensive ability can only be regarded as the league average, but he has the important task of serving as the core of the offense only with his long-range shooting and passing. Therefore, for the sake of the team's record, it is a very correct decision to let Wang Dalin be the core of the offense. In the words of Director Zhang, it¡¯s ¡°reasonable¡±! Having played more than 70 games in the regular season this season, Wang Dalin has gradually matured from his initial youth, and his performance has become better and more stable. Hardaway, Jones, Grant, Mason and other main players have increasingly trusted him. They believe that this rookie will definitely make more contributions to the Heat. And everyone can see that Mourning has obviously reached some kind of tacit understanding with Riley. He was currently in poor condition, so he rationally chose to stay dormant, and Riley followed suit and agreed. NBA has been in history for decades. Although there are not many examples of rookies becoming the core of the team's tactics, there are still a few, such as "Magic" back then, "Answer" and "Stone Buddha" in the previous two years. It is very rare for Wang Dalin to achieve such a high tactical status after playing only a few dozen games. This game against the Wizards was quite anxious. Although the Heat adjusted their offensive tactics and performed significantly better than the previous games, the Wizards' rookie Courtney Alexander's sudden outburst still caught them off guard. The rookie guard selected by the Mavericks with the 13th overall pick in the first round was traded to the Wizards in the middle of the season. He did not get many opportunities when he was with the Mavericks. He only averaged about 12 minutes of playing time per game and averaged only 4.2 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.6 rebounds per game. assists. However, after arriving with the Wizards, he was reused by head coach Leonard Hamilton. He averaged 33.7 minutes per game and averaged 17.2 points, 3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Looking at his performance with the Wizards alone, he can even be compared with the three Rookie of the Year candidates Wang Dalin, Kenyon Martin and Mike Miller. So thisHis outburst in every game is not unusual. Wang Dalin even had a triple-double when he played with the Pistons before! In this game, Alexander made 10 of 19 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 26 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists. Wang Dalin performed well in this game and seemed "normal". He scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block in 27 minutes. Although his score was lower than Alexander's, his comprehensiveness was unmatched by his opponent. . Mourning came off the bench and scored 16 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist in 21 minutes. He made 8 of 11 shots and played very efficiently. It can be seen that the former All-Star center is slowly returning to form. The Heat finally defeated the Wizards 89:85, bringing the game to a successful conclusion. After the game, Mourning followed Riley to the press conference. When he was asked by reporters what he thought of the rookie Wang Dalin, he couldn't help laughing. "He is the best among this rookie class! He will definitely win the Rookie of the Year award this season!" Mourning¡¯s answer was very brief and very sonorous. Since Mourning has missed too many games due to illness, and no one else on the Heat has produced very amazing performances and statistics, the entire Heat team is unlikely to win any individual awards this year, except for Wang Dalin The first is the Best Rookie Award, and the second is the Best Sixth Man Award. Wang Dalin¡¯s current performance and data are quite competitive for these two awards. There are only three people competing for the Rookie of the Year award this year, namely Wang Dalin, Kenyon Martin and Mike Miller. Currently, Wang Dalin has an advantage in both personal data and team record. The competition for the best sixth man is more intense. At present, everyone is generally optimistic about Aaron McGee, the backup shooting guard. His current average data is 11.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, which is slightly lower than Wang Dalin. However, his 76ers team ranks first in the Eastern Conference. Compared with the Heat, he still has a certain advantage in the team's record. With the improvement of his tactical status, Wang Dalin even has the opportunity to go further at the end of the season, so he has a high probability of winning the Best Sixth Man award. Since no one can win any individual awards, the Heat generals are still very happy to help this little brother Wang Dalin (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 67 The end of the season (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After defeating the Wizards on the road, the Heat continued to embark on their remaining regular season journey. On April 7, the Heat defeated the Hornets 92:86 at home. On April 9, the Heat defeated the Knicks 85:79 at home, avenging the previous game. On April 11, the Heat faced the 76ers at home. Both sides played a very high defensive intensity in this game, resulting in their shooting percentage being less than 40%. In the end, the Heat narrowly defeated the 76ers 83:81, winning a very important game. The "card position battle". On April 12, the Heat challenged the Celtics in back-to-back away games. With Antoine Walker scoring 29 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists and Paul Pierce scoring 41 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, they still withstood the pressure and finally defeated their opponents 102:97. In this game, six members of the Heat scored in double figures and performed "very well as a team". Among them, Mason and Mourning scored 23 points and 21 points respectively, and Wang Dalin also scored 14 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. On April 14, the Heat challenged the Raptors away from home and lost 88:97. In this game, Raptors boss Vince Carter had an all-round performance of 27 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Starting center Antonio Davis also contributed a double-double of 25 points and 13 rebounds, which was a strong performance. The Heat's shooting skills were not good in this game. Brian Grant scored 16 points and was the team's top scorer. Their shooting percentage was only 40%. Wang Dalin made 4 of 11 shots, and even including free throws, he only scored 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. His performance was a bit stretched. However, the most annoying person in this battle was Eddie Jones. As the Heat's leading scorer, he made only 5 of 17 shots in this game, including 0 of 4 three-pointers. He did not make a single free throw and only scored A pitiful 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. Since then, the Heat have ended all regular seasons in the 2000-2001 season with a loss. Slightly better than the Heat in history, Wang Dalin and his teammates have a record of 52 wins and 30 losses this season, which is the same as the Bucks ranked second in the Eastern Conference. However, because the Heat have lost more than they won against the Bucks this season, they can only rank third in the Eastern Conference. Originally, Wang Dalin should have a high probability of changing history after the Heat had him, but now he found that it was still the same. Their opponent in the first round of the playoffs was still the sixth-ranked Hornets in the Eastern Conference. On April 16, the regular season games for all teams ended, and some titles that will not be awarded have been released, such as the regular season scoring champion, rebounding champion, assist champion, etc. The scoring champion in the 2000-2001 season was Allen Iverson. The current "Strongest 183 on Earth" averaged 31.1 points per game in the season. In this era before the "no-handcheck rule" has been implemented, it is very difficult to average more than 30 points per game. Even during the Bulls' second dynasty, "The Great Michael Jordan" only averaged more than 30 points per game in one season. Iverson's explosive performance this season can definitely match his high popularity. It can be said that among the "96 golden generation", he was the first one to reach the peak of his career. The rebounding leader is Dikembe Mutombo. "Uncle Mutombo" averaged 13.5 rebounds per game this season. In fact, he was also the rebounding leader last season. He averaged slightly more rebounds per game last season than this season, with 14.1 rebounds per game. No one knows exactly how old "Uncle Mu" is this year, maybe even he himself, so everyone can only know from official information that he was born in June 1966 and is about to turn 35 years old At such an old age, he can still win the season's rebounding title. He is indeed getting stronger with age! Until Wang Dalin, in fact, "Uncle Mu" was already at the end of his career peak. His form next season would only decline slightly, and the next season he would plummet directly. The assists leader is Jason Kidd. Chinese fans have very interesting nicknames for Jason Kidd, Rajon Rondo and Mo Williams. They are respectively "Ki doesn't attack", "Lon doesn't shoot" and "Mo doesn't pass". . "Basic Attack" has a high desire to attack this season. Although he ranks first in the assists list this season with 9.8 assists per game, he averages 16.9 points per game. Throughout Kidd¡¯s entire career, except for the 18.7 points per game in the 2002-2003 season, his scoring average this season has been ranked second in his career. ??And 9.8 assists is also the lowest value for the season assists leader since the 1981-1982 season. Going back 18 years, there has never been a season where the assists leader averaged less than double figures per game. The season's steal leader is also Iverson. Although his defense is not good at all, his gambling steals are very sharp, averaging 2.5 steals per game. Wang Dalin was quite disdainful of this. He grabbed the ball in the "Answer" style of stealing.?That's it. If you can't grab it, it's just a defensive loss. Although Wang Dalin¡¯s defensive ability values ??are average, Riley is very satisfied with his defensive performance on the court because he rarely messes up, whether on the offensive or defensive end. The season¡¯s block leader is Iverson¡¯s teammate Theo Ratliff, who averages 3.7 blocks per game, exactly the same data as last season¡¯s block leader Mourning. The reason why the 76ers are able to rank first in the Eastern Conference and second in the league in winning percentage this season is not only because of Iverson's explosive performance, but also because of the defensive system carefully built for them by Larry Brown. ??Look at their starting lineup. In addition to Iverson, the other four players are Eric Snow, Te'iron Hill, Theo Ratliff and Dikembe Mutombo. This tactic in which everyone else focuses on defense and only Iverson attacks wantonly can only be thought up by an old boy like Larry Brown. If there were not so many defensive strongmen behind him, how could Iverson be so unscrupulous and repeatedly resort to gambling-style steals? The Heat have a good record here, and Wang Dalin also performed extremely well in his rookie season. Averaging 23.8 minutes per game, he can get 13.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.6 steals. Of course, we can't forget that he also averages 1.5 turnovers per game. This data is certainly not impressive compared to some guys who "reached their peak when they debuted", but for a rookie to be able to perform like this is already considered very good. Especially as a big man with a height of nearly 7 feet, this kind of comprehensive performance is even more valuable. (Wang Dalin: Who said I am close to 7 feet tall? I am obviously only 206cm!) Riley believes that many people will think of one person when they see this data, and that is Chris Webber in his rookie season. Although Wang Dalin is still far behind Webber's rookie season averages of 17.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.2 steals, his overall performance is on par with the All-Star power forward's rookie season. very similar. ¡°AndWang Dalin¡¯s assists per game are much higher than Weber. Riley even regrets that the average playing time given to Wang Dalin this season is still too little. He believes that if Wang Dalin is given more opportunities, the rookie may not be able to copy Weber's average data in his rookie season. (Wang Dalin: Coach, you are thinking too muchI didn¡¯t have enough physical strength at that time!) After the regular season, each team has a short break. The playoffs will not start until April 22, when the East and West will each have 2 games. After the game on April 14, Riley gave the players a full five days off. The "Magic Calculator" is not only good at "devil training", as a famous coach in NBA history, he certainly understands the principle of "one piece and one piece" After such a long season, the players are very tired, and in the fierce competition Everyone must have a good rest before the playoffs come. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 68 People coming from China (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On the night of April 14th, Wang Dalin had a good sleep at home. Since the day he got the system in June last year, he has never slept for such a long time. He slept so darkly that he didn't get up contentedly until about two o'clock in the afternoon the next day. After waking up, he washed up first, then squeezed a large glass of orange juice and paired it with fried eggs, bacon and whole wheat bread. This was his "breakfast". While eating and drinking, he turned on his mobile phone. Wang Dalin was immediately surprised when he saw that there was a number on it that had been called more than ten times since 10 o'clock this morning. Wang Dalin knew very well that this number was called from China. . ¡°I only blame myself for setting my phone to vibrate mode before going to bed, and I didn¡¯t hear it at all when I was dead asleep. "Who is it? Is it my parents?" With a trace of doubt, Wang Dalin called back. After only two rings, the other party answered. "Hello, this is the basketball department of "Sports Weekly", who are you?" The person who answered the phone had a nice young lady¡¯s voice, and Wang Dalin guessed who was looking for him. "Hello, I'm Wang Dalin. Did Director Su Qun contact me on this phone this morning?" "Ahare you Wang Dalin? Oh my godwhat are you looking for from me?Oh, no, you want to talk to Director Su, right? He has already come to look for you. The flight is at 11:20 noon today. I think I¡¯ll be in Miami early tomorrow morning!¡± "What? Director Su wants to see me?Do you know what happened to him?" "Well I just heard that he came here to do another exclusive interview with you. I don't know if there is anything else!" "That's itOkay, thank you!" "You're welcome!" Wang Dalin finished eating, tidied the room, and then went out with the basketball. Although you can take a good rest for a few days, as a professional player, you should insist on practicing every day. No matter how busy and tired you are, you must at least practice shooting, right? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ¡° There is no one else but diligence! Wang Dalin firmly believes that if Kobe had not suffered a major injury like a ruptured Achilles tendon, with his abnormal level of self-discipline, he would have been able to stay on the tail end of his peak for at least two more years! If that is the case, regardless of whether this "Black Mamba" can win another championship, he will very likely break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's historical scoring record of 38,387 points in the regular season. Wang Dalin went to the community basketball court and started practicing dribbling. He currently has 60 points in ball control, which is pretty good among big men, but there is still a full 10 points gap from the upper limit of his current ability value, so most of his training after the All-Star Weekend was spent on practicing ball control skills. In fact, the system does not only increase ability value by adding points, but the speed of improvement through training is too slow. Just like the series of dribbling training he did before the preseason, he had to complete at least 10 times the amount to improve his ball control ability by one point. In terms of points, it only takes 800 points to add one point. But training also has its benefits. After completing a certain amount of training, he will first be rewarded with points. Although it is small but mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are! Secondly, after a lot of training, his ability value for the corresponding exercises may also be improved, which can be said to be both earning points and improving abilities. The most realistic reason is to earn performance! I believe that many readers who work part-time know that when the boss appears near you, you must work seriously, even if you pretend to be working seriously. ??Similarly, during team training, every move of the players is under the eyes of the coaches. If you don't pay attention, you will inevitably leave a bad impression on the coaches. Especially Wang Dalin is still just a rookie, and the Heat's coaching staff headed by the "Magic Counter" has always attached great importance to training. (Riley: Do I care? I just like to engage in "devil training"!) After practicing for more than two hours, Wang Dalin packed up his things and took a shower first, then went out to the supermarket to purchase some ingredients for home cooking. He had a pleasant chat with Su Qun last time. Although he didn¡¯t know if Su Qun came to see him this time just for an exclusive interview, he was quite happy. It ¡¯s been so long in the United States, so it¡¯ s easy to see compatriots. Anyone who will be very happy Maybe I have to say a big words that "the air in the M countries is exceptionally sweet".Open. Such a scumbag When Wang Dalin was a keyboard warrior in his previous life, he had already posted dozens of angry posts on her Weibo. The air is sweet? Xiangtian, you uncle! ? What workers and managers breathe in Miami all day long is the slightly salty air of sea water Where is the sweetness? Su Qun is on the plane now, and his cell phone has probably been turned off. Wang Dalin is quite looking forward to seeing him tomorrow morning. "Well, when Brother Su comes, I should still show my kindness as a landlord and treat him to a nice meal!" Wang Dalin pondered, "What should I treat him to? Well, should I treat him to largemouth bass or lobster? ? Or just invite him to the 'olaatthesanctuary' restaurant for a Latin American dinner" (Wang Dalin: By the way, I also have a toothpaste festival? I have eaten nutritious meals for a season, and I feel like vomiting when I see the nutritious meals!) Around 10 o'clock in the evening, Jeff Schwartz suddenly called. "Hello Darling-King, I hope I didn't disturb your rest!" "Mr. Schwartz, you don't have to be so polite. You must have something important to call me so late. Just tell me!" "Okay, Wang! That's it I have received several cooperation intentions for sneaker endorsements, and I want to discuss them with you! Is there any sneaker brand that you particularly like or dislike?" "No!" "Oh, that's good! I saw that you usually wear "aj", and I thought you particularly liked Nike!" "No, I'm just used to wearing them when I'm in China. You don't have to worry about this! By the way, what brands want to cooperate with me?" "Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Converse, Puma have all contacted me, as well as Li Ning, the most famous sports brand in China" "Oh? Did they quote a price?" ¡°Nike¡¯s offer is US$3 million over three years, Adidas is US$10 million over five years, Reebok is US$8 million over five years, and Puma is US$6 million over three years. I personally feel that Adidas is the most sincere!¡± "Where's Li Ning? How much do they quote?" "Thistheir quotation is 50 million soft sister coins over five years. When converted into US dollars, it is only a little over 6 million. In total, it is only slightly higher than Nike's quotation." "Well In this case, Mr. Schwartz, I think this matter can be slowed down for a while and then we can talk to them after the playoffs are over. What do you think?" "I also have the same opinion You are very likely to win the Best Rookie and Best Sixth Man awards this season. Even if you only win one of them, their offer is obviously too low. By that time I don¡¯t have to look for them, they will definitely contact me!¡± "Okay, let's do it!" "Okay, that's it, I won't disturb your rest, good night!" ¡­¡­ After answering the phone, Wang Dalin felt sleepy again and fell into a deep sleep soon. Early the next morning, Wang Dalin was directly awakened by the ringing of his cell phone. When he picked it up, it turned out to be Su Qun. The two of them had left each other's phone numbers last time. "Da Lin, are you at home? I'm in Miami, do you have to come pick me up?" "Okay, Brother Su, you are really not polite to me!" "Haha, we are compatriots! My fellow villagers burst into tears when I see them. What's wrong with asking you to pick me up at the airport?" ¡°Okay, just wait a moment, I¡¯ll be right over!¡± Wang Dalin hurriedly got up and washed up. Before going out, he ate a few slices of bread with bacon and drank a bottle of milk. We drove to Miami International Airport and picked up Su Qun directly in front of the passenger exit gate. As soon as he got in the car, Su Qun smiled and said: "Da Lin, I have already booked a hotel. Can you take me to the hotel first and put my luggage away?" "Okay! Brother Su, you are the uncle today, okay?" ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 69 The call of the national team (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After putting away their luggage in the hotel room, Su Qun poured a glass of water for Wang Dalin and then told him the reason for his visit. It turns out that when he came to Miami this time, in addition to interviewing Wang Dalin again, he also brought him a call-up order for the Chinese men's basketball team. The 21st Men¡¯s Basketball Asian Championship will be held in Shanghai, China on July 20 this year. There will be 14 Asian teams fighting against each other to compete for the honor of the Asian championship. Because the domestic CBA league has ended in March, the Chinese men's basketball team has begun to gather. Now there are 10 people in place: Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, Batter, Gong Xiaobin, Li Nan, Hu Weidong, Li Xiaoyong, Liu Yudong, Zhang Jinsong and Fan Bin. There are still 2 places left to fill. Based on their positions, these two people should be a small forward and a shooting guard. Among them, the candidate for the shooting guard has basically been decided, which is Zhang Cheng of Jiangsu Nangang Team. (Lao Wang: This guy must join the national team. How could this Asian Championship be exciting without him? Fans who know, please don¡¯t spoil it!) The choice of small forward is pending, and head coach Wang Fei has different opinions from the Basketball Management Center. The Basketball Management Center suggested calling Zhang Wenqi, the main forward of the Shanghai Men¡¯s Basketball Team, into the national team, while coach Wang Fei hoped to call Wang Dalin back. Just a year ago, Wang Dalin was just a small player in the domestic basketball world. How can he be compared with many domestic professional players when he is only the MVP of the National High School Basketball Competition? But in just one year, Wang Dalin has soared to the sky. In the United States, he is just a rookie. In China, he is very famous. After all, he is the first Chinese basketball player to enter the NBA! However, since he has not entered the domestic system, the basketball management center's attitude towards him is somewhat ambiguous. On the one hand, they definitely recognize Wang Dalin's strength, but on the other hand, they are worried that players like Wang Dalin who are not within the system will be disobedient and find it difficult to integrate into the national team. After all, I have been "wild" in the United States for a year The Chinese men¡¯s basketball team is the absolute hegemon in Asia. Since China sent a team to participate in the Asian Men¡¯s Basketball Championship in 1975, China has won 11 championships in the 13 Asian Championships. It can be said that the overwhelming advantage the Chinese men's basketball team has shown in Asia during this period can even compete with the National Table Tennis Team. It is an absolute "big devil"! Although they did not win the Asian Championships in 1985 and 1997, the situation was more like a tiger taking a nap and being taken advantage of by a monkey. In terms of strength, the Chinese men's basketball team is definitely the strongest. (Philippines: Wow, Lao Wang, how dare you call us monkeys!) (Korea: We are not monkey Smecta, we are stick Smecta!) The Chinese men¡¯s basketball team has such a glorious history, not only because the players are superior in strength, but also because they conduct very difficult closed training before every competition. This year¡¯s closed training will officially start after Labor Day, with a total training time of 50 days. Then the men¡¯s basketball team will play two warm-up games each with Australia and New Zealand in early July. Wang Dalin still has to compete in the NBA playoffs. It is uncertain when all games of this season will end. If the Heat advance all the way and reach the finals, it will be at least mid-June. From a time point of view, even if Wang Dalin joins the national team, it is almost impossible for him to participate in this closed training camp After the season is over, he has to repair it a little bit, right? NBA teams have to play 82 games in the regular season alone every year, and there may be another ten or eight games in the playoffs. How many games does the CBA league have in a season? Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that Wang Dalin will not be able to report to the national team until early June at the earliest. If the Heat really makes it to the finals, he may not be able to report to the national team until early July. This is also one of the main reasons why the Basketball Management Center is unwilling to call him into the team. However, coach Wang Fei was very insistent, so in the end the Basketball Management Center agreed with coach Wang Fei¡¯s opinion and issued the call-up order to Wang Dalin. Wang Dalin felt extremely honored to be selected for the Chinese Men¡¯s Basketball Team and was in a great mood. He immediately said that he must treat Su Qun to a seafood dinner with the most Miami characteristics at noon! Because of his strict self-discipline on weekdays, Wang Dalin had never been to the most famous seafood restaurant in Miami. He was completely like an outsider, so he had to call his best friend Eddie House. House was already a "local snake" in Miami and knew all about the well-known restaurants, so he took them to a seafood restaurant called "Rusticinn". This restaurant has a long history and is said to have been open for nearly a hundred years.Years ago, it is very famous in Florida, but it is a bit far from downtown Miami. Wang Dalin and the others were not too far away, so they drove there. When the seafood dinner was served, the three of them felt that the trip was worthwhile. Just seeing this table of excellent-looking seafood delicacies, what were they afraid of going far away? Boston lobster, king crab, Rockefeller oysters, salmon sashimi Wang Dalin and the three of them had a great time eating. They still felt a little sore when they finished the meal. The three of them actually ate 780 US dollars for one meal! This is 2001! ? 780 US dollars is enough to cover one month¡¯s rent of an ordinary house in Miami! Wang Dalin could only comfort himself silently in his heart "Well, since we are inviting Brother Su, we should have a good meal!" (Eddie House: Soulless! Do you just want to fry steak?) Back in Miami in the afternoon, Wang Dalin took Su Qun to his home and accepted an exclusive interview with Su Qun at home. "Brother Su, being selected for the Chinese Men's Basketball Team has been my dream since I was a child. Now that my dream has come true, I feel very happy and honored!" After the interview, Wang Dalin patted his chest and said to Su Qun, "Please You must help me tell Director Wang Fei that as soon as the Heat¡¯s playoffs are over, I will report back to China as soon as possible!¡± Su Qun waved his hand and said: "Director Wang Fei asked me to tell you before I came: Play hard in the playoffs and don't think too much. It's not a big deal if you can't make it to the closed training camp, as long as you can come back before the warm-up match on July 1 Just report in!¡± Wang Dalin smiled and said: "No problem!" He knows that the possibility of the Heat reaching the finals this year is very slim. Even if they change the original history and do not lose to the Hornets in the first round, it will be a disaster if they meet the Bucks in the second round. During the regular season, the Heat were a bit like the Bucks. Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson and Sam Cassell were not easy to deal with. Once they got the ball rolling, they would score a lot of goals, even if the Heat It's difficult for such a tough defense to limit them. Even if you beat the Bucks, what will happen if you meet the 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals? This season¡¯s 76ers can be said to be the strongest team in the Eastern Conference, bar none! Since Larry Brown asked Iverson to switch to shooting guard, "Answer" has exploded like a fish in water. His powerful offensive power is simply terrifying. And with strong defensive players such as "Uncle Mu", Ratliff and Snow, their defensive intensity is also extraordinary To put it bluntly, it is stronger than the Heat's defense! If Riley had not always instilled the concept of "defense first" in the team, the Heat's defensive level this season is expected to decline significantly. If Mourning suddenly returns to the same state as last season, the Heat's interior defense can give the 76ers a run for their money, but Mourning is no longer at his peak after all. As for the outside defenseit's not up to par. Fortunately, the team now has Wang Dalin, and their offensive power has obviously improved, so they are not hopeless (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 70 Injury (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! During this period in 2001, the first round of the NBA playoffs also implemented a best-of-five series, with the home and away arrangement being 2-2-1. The first game between the Heat and the Hornets started as scheduled on the evening of April 22, 2001. The Hornets sent out their usual starting lineup for the regular season: point guard "First Generation Bearded" Baron Davis, shooting guard "Mickey Mouse" David Wesley, small forward Jamal Mashburn, power forward p.j. Brown, center Eldon Campbell. There are some changes to the Heat's starting lineup: point guard Hardaway, shooting guard Jones, small forward Bowen, power forward Mason, and center Grant. Riley mentioned Bowen to the starting lineup. It seems that he still wants to strengthen the outside defense, especially the defense against Mashburn. As for the offense, apart from Bowen, who among the Heat's starting lineup does not average double figures per game? If you only look at the regular season average data, the Hornets' offensive power obviously seems to be better, because they have Mashburn who can average 20.1 points per game. In this era, averaging more than 20 points per game is considered a very powerful scorer, and averaging more than 25 points per game can be called a "super scorer." Except for Iverson, no one averaged more than 30 points per game in the regular season this season, and there were only 8 people in total who averaged more than 25 points per game. The Heat¡¯s top scorer per game is Eddie Jones. He only averaged 17.4 points per game this season, which is significantly lower than last season. However, the Heat have six players who average double figures in scoring per game: Jones, Mason, Grant, Hardaway, Wang Dalin and Mourning, while the Hornets only have four, Mashburn, Wesley, Davis and Campbell. In fact, the Heat The team's offensive power is stronger than that of the Hornets. And the head coaches of the two teams are not on the same level. Although coach Paul Silas is good, how can he be compared with the "magic fortune teller" Pat Riley? So Wang Dalin was surprised why the Heat actually lost to the Hornets in the first round in the original time and space, and were swept out 3:0. Even if you don¡¯t have yourself in the team, the Heat¡¯s strength is still firmly above the Hornets, right? Things are often like this. The two teams are not just competing on paper strength. Who wins and who loses you still have to fight to know. And Wang Dalin didn¡¯t know that in the original history, Mason played 40 minutes against the Bucks on the night of April 18. As a result, he felt discomfort in his calf after the game. When he went to the hospital, it was found that he had a hamstring strain and needed to be treated. Rest for 2-4 weeks. So in the original time and space, Mason missed the Heat's first-round playoff series against the Hornets due to injury. Suddenly without a strong man who averaged 16.1 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, the Heat were obviously a little inferior on both the offensive and defensive ends. It was normal that they couldn't beat the Hornets. ¡­¡­ When about 6 minutes into the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 12:11, with the Heat trailing by 1 point. After all, it was the playoffs. Both sides played more cautiously and deliberately lowered the pace of the game. However, the shooting percentages of both teams were pretty good, so the scores did not appear to be very low. It was the Heat's turn to attack. Hardaway called for a pick-and-roll from the outside. Mason came over to help him block it, and then quickly passed down. Hardaway¡¯s pass was very timely. After receiving the ball, Mason immediately jumped high and wanted to dunk. The result "Snapped!" "Boom!" "ah¡­¡­" Campbell pulled Mason down in one fell swoop. This was a very vicious foul move. Mason fell completely sideways in mid-air and let out a shrill scream after falling to the ground. This scream was so loud that almost all the 19,200 spectators in the American Airlines Center heard it. Grant was furious and pushed Campbell forward, causing him to stumble and almost fall directly into the crowd of reporters behind the basket. "Fake! You are murdering!" After this push, Grant was still cursing angrily and wanted to step forward to give Campbell some advice. Jones and Hardaway hurriedly came over and hugged him. "Brian, don't fight, do you want to be ejected?" Hardaway shouted in his ear, "Let's see how Anthony is doing first!" Campbell may have known that he was in the wrong, but he didn¡¯t fight back at all. He retreated behind Mashburn and Brown and acted like a duck. Mason was lying on the ground, his left hand stroking his right shoulder, with a painful expression on his face. I don't know if the sweat on my face is from sweating in the first place or from pain. The team doctor came up to check and shook his head at Riley.   The injury to Mason¡¯s right shoulder was very serious and he needed to be sent to the hospital immediately for further examination. It is still unknown whether the bone was damaged. "However, the team doctor has made a rough judgment based on visual observation alone. Mason's right shoulder is probably fractured When Mason was carried off the field on a stretcher, the entire audience stood up and gave him warm applause. When the stretcher passed by the bench, Mason endured the pain and said to his teammates: "Don't worry about me, everyone, promise me I will definitely" Gotta kill them!" Riley's face clearly had a hint of ferocity. He held his hand and said solemnly: "Anthony, you can rest in peace and recover. We will definitely defeat them for you!" Mourning gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Anthony, don't worry!" Hardaway also came over and said: "We will definitely win!" Although the relationship between Wang Dalin and Mason is not as "iron-porcelain" as with House, they still get along pretty well. He played a lot of games in his previous life, and there were situations in the game where he was injured and retired during the game, but he didn't feel it at all. After all, it was just a game. Now that I see my teammate leaving the field injured, I naturally have mixed feelings in my heart, and I want to go up and beat Campbell up. But he knew that this would definitely not work. No matter what, since this is a basketball court, anything that happens on the court must be solved with basketball! ¡­¡­ The referee only called a common foul for such a bad foul by Campbell, and just now Grant received a T for pushing him. After a commotion, Grant was replaced and Wang Dalin and Mourning came on. Seeing Mourning step onto the court floor with a murderous look on his face, all four of Davis, Brown, Mashburn and Wesley couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs. Damn it! Campbell, you are such a weak soul! Who the hell are you doing wrong, but you did Mourning¡¯s teammates? Don¡¯t you know that this guy is known as a ¡°tough guy¡±? ¡°Have you forgotten that year when he dragged Bald Fan across the floor for more than 20 meters? Do you think he became weak after a kidney transplant? You can¡¯t lift the knife? Orare you so crazy? ¡­¡­ No matter how vain the Hornets players were, the game had to continue. Since Mason, who was fouled, had already left the game, Hardaway took the two free throws instead of him. Hardaway lived up to expectations and made two free throws. The score reached 12:13 and the Heat led by 1 point. It was the Hornets' turn to attack. Davis dribbled the ball steadily to the frontcourt. Facing Hardaway's defense, he wanted to use his height and weight advantage to directly crush him into the three-second zone. As a result, he just entered the three-second zone. A strong man like an iron tower stood tall. Mourning just moved one step and blocked Davis' path to the basket. Facing last season¡¯s best defensive player and shot-blocking leader, Davis didn¡¯t dare to make a mistake and quickly passed the ball to Campbell on the right. Campbell is more than three meters away from the basket. As Mourning goes to cover Davis, he is in the open space at the moment Faced with this opportunity, Campbell did not hesitate at all and immediately took a layup. As a result, as soon as he took the shot, he felt that the light above his head seemed to be much darker "Snapped!" What a hot iron-blooded pot! Mourning took off immediately with a sliding step. Although he is slightly shorter than Campbell, his shot-blocking ability is absolutely historical. He blocked the ball very "brutally", not only knocking down the ball, but also knocking Campbell over. Wang Dalin followed Campbell to grab the second spot, and then passed the ball to Hardaway. After passing the ball, Wang Dalin hurriedly ran forward. As he ran, he looked back and saw Mourning slowly running forward. He looked around while running. No one in the Hornets team dared to look at him. Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel proud: "It seems like Mourning is really angry this time. Hornets, are you ready to face the wrath of the 'Tough Man'?" ¡­¡­ (Lao Wang: There will be a third update at 10 o¡¯clock tonight!) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 71 Strong Crush (Third update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! With Mourning's big shot, the momentum of the Hornets players was obviously weakened, and there was a trace of fear on everyone's face. Mourning came to the frontcourt and went directly to the edge of the three-second zone to ask for a position. Campbell fell hard just now. He just got up and ran back. He hasn't passed the mid- to long-term line yet! Seeing that the situation was not good, Brown had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand behind Mourning. Feeling the strong muscles on Mourning's back, Brown panicked. He entered the NBA in the same year as Mourning, and he was teammates with Mourning in the Heat a few years ago, so he knows this man very well. He knows that Mourning has been in poor form since his comeback, but it would be pure stupidity to underestimate him because of this. After all, Mourning is also one of the most awesome inside players in the NBA. As the saying goes, "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse." Duncan and Garnett were no longer at their peak in 2014, and both had a 20+10 performance in a single game! What¡¯s more, Mourning? In the original time and space, Mourning had blocked 9 shots in a single game against the Knicks on November 28, 2005. The nearly 36-year-old "Kidney Warrior" is still terrifying! As a former teammate of Mourning, how could Brown not know how terrifying this guy is? Especially when he is angry Mourning's "anger value" is obviously full today and he will definitely start an "angry charge". He just hopes that Mourning, who is in poor physical condition after a serious illness, will come up and play for 20 minutes. If he really plays for more than 30 minutes, he and Campbell will probably be reduced to scum. Mourning is physically strong and has a very deep position this time. Hardaway directly lobbed the ball in. Mourning did not pause after receiving the ball, turned around and squeezed Brown aside, and then jumped into the basket "Clang!" This two-handed dunk on Mourning used a lot of force. For a moment, Wang Dalin seemed to see the "big shark" in Los Angeles, with the same violent frame. At this moment, Campbell had just run back and could only watch Mourning wreak havoc on his own basket. "Boy, don't even think about scoring another goal tonightI said so!" After the dunk, Mourning turned around and yelled at Campbell, hammering his chest. The words were spoken loudly, and all the reporters behind the basket could hear them clearly Of course, the referees could also hear them clearly. But the referee never bothers to pay attention to this kind of trash talk without swear words. ¡°Besides, I don¡¯t care who¡¯s home field this is? ¡°I just called Campbell a common foul. To be honestthe referee is still hearing the boos from the audience in his mind! After Mourning's violent dunk, the Hornets' momentum became even weaker. Their next three attacks all ended in blackouts. The Heat fed Mourning the ball continuously, and Mourning completely defeated Campbell, scoring 6 points in a row on 3-of-3 shooting. At the end of the first quarter, the Heat led by 7 points at 25:18, of which Mourning scored 10 points alone. At the beginning of the second quarter, Mourning continued to show off his power in the paint and scored 2 more goals. The Hornets replaced Jamal Magloire and Derek Coleman and couldn't guard him. Wang Dalin played for a few minutes, but he didn't get a chance to shoot. He only grabbed 2 rebounds and sent 1 assist. Mourning took a break after about 4 minutes in the second quarter. The Hornets' offensive end finally got going. First, Mashburn broke into the interior twice and succeeded, and then Davis made a pass to Wesley and hit a three-pointer. Wang Dalin stood up at this moment. He used the pick-and-roll in the high post to hit two consecutive mid-range shots. He also grabbed an offensive rebound under the basket and made a tip-in. He also caused Coleman's beater to foul to complete 2+1. Wang Dalin's series of wonderful performances made Paul Silas unable to help but feel envious and jealous: "Riley, you are such a weak soul! When you were drafting, you didn't want Darling Wang, and you refused to show his physical test data. Open to the public! I want to know that there is someone like Darling King among the undrafted draftees, so what the hell does it have to do with you?" Just after Wang Dalin scored three goals in a row, Jones stood up again. The Heat's leading scorer used exquisite off-ball movement to catch and shoot. In the second half of the second quarter, he scored 9 points in a row on 4-of-6 shooting, leading the Heat to a 9:2 spurt. After halftime, the Heat led 57:47 by 10 points. Mourning came on again in the second half. He continued to make waves in the paint, beating Campbell, Brown, Coleman and Magloire completely out of temper. In the first 6 minutes of the third quarter alone, Campbell committed two fouls in order to defend him, bringing his number of personal fouls to 4, and he was replaced in despair.  Don't think that Mourning is just a good defender. You must know that this guy scored 50 points in a single game in his first season with the Heat, and his offensive power is also very strong. In the second half of the third quarter, "First Generation Bearded" Davis led the team to launch a desperate counterattack. They made 3 of 5 shots from beyond the three-point line, closing the point difference to only 5 points. At the critical moment, Hardaway stepped forward and took up the banner. He made continuous layups through pick-and-rolls, and also gave Wang Dalin 2 assists. Since then, the Hornets' counterattack has been contained again. By the fourth quarter, the Heat's offensive firepower was still fierce. Jones' singles, Huang Dalin's high post pull-up, Grant and Mourning's inside attack, and Hardaway's sharp breakthrough With 5 minutes left in the game, Paul Silas had to replace all the main players. The score has reached 78:97. With such a big point difference, even if he has an "ok combination" in his hand, he will definitely not be able to save the defeat and can only surrender. Riley did not kill all the players, but also replaced all the starting players. The five players on the field were Wang Dalin, House, Green, Marley and Coswell. It¡¯s just the first game, and we can¡¯t necessarily forge a deadly feud just because the opponent made a flagrant foul. Silas did not expect that the Heat's benches would also burst out with extremely strong fighting spirit. They still spared no effort on the defensive end, and they were even more accurate when attacking. House, in particular, relied on his good relationship with Wang Dalin and was "fed full" by Wang Dalin as soon as he came on the court. In the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, he actually scored 10 points on 4 of 5 shots including Two of them are three-pointers! At the end of the game, the Heat defeated the Hornets 122:88. The 34-point difference was also the largest point difference on the first day of this year's playoffs. Mourning scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks in 26 minutes of his appearance in this game. Three of the blocks were given to Campbell Campbell only scored 4 points and 3 rebounds in the game. As Mourning saidhe really didn't score again after that flagrant foul! Wang Dalin made 7 of 13 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Hardaway, Grant and Jones also all scored in double figures. The most surprising thing was House. He only played less than 10 minutes in total and scored 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting. All in all, the Heat completely crushed the Hornets in the G1 game, which also gave them full confidence in the G2 game on April 24. After the game, all the Heat players came to the hospital to visit Mason. He has undergone an X-ray examination and the doctor diagnosed that he has a fractured right shoulder blade and will need surgery tomorrow at the latest. Although the morale of the players who defeated the Heat in the G1 game was high, they still felt a bit sad when they saw that Mason was completely reimbursed for the season. Wang Dalin even thought of Zhuge Liang when he came out of Qishan the second time. Just as the army here was about to go out, they immediately received the bad news that Zhao Yun had died of illness Mason is already 34 years old. After experiencing such a serious injury, it is very likely that his career will be over. Originally, he went to the Bucks next season and did not retire until the 2002-2003 season. Now it is not certain whether he can continue to play next season. Many very good players had to withdraw from the stage of history because of injuries, such as Tracy McGrady, who "made God cry", and Roy, who has become known as the "Yellow Mamba" After sighing for a long time, Wang Dalin quickly checked his comprehensive durability on the system page: it was still 99, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 72 A fierce battle between the powerful forces (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! In addition to the Heat vs. Hornets game on April 22, there will also be three games between the Pacers vs. the 76ers, the Timberwolves vs. the Spurs, and the Mavericks vs. the Jazz. The Pacers and the 76ers started a defensive battle, and finally won 79:78. In this game, both sides shot less than 40% from the field. The Pacers only shot 35.6% from the field, and their rebound count was completely at a disadvantage by 43:52. Their 20 assists were not as good as the 76ers' 23, but they Still won. It has to be said that sometimes basketball is so wonderful When most of your data are dominant, it does not mean that you will win! The reason why the Pacers were able to win was mainly because they made 5 of 14 three-pointers, while the 76ers only made 1 of 9 three-pointers. The defensive ability of the team coached by Larry Brown is indeed one of the best in the league. It is estimated that only "Mediterranean Region Director" Jeff Van Gundy can compete with it. But both of them can't attack, and they both hate three-pointers! When every team pays more and more attention to three-pointers, these two guys still avoid three-pointers like snakes and scorpions. Do you still remember the famous "Central Shooting King" Alan Houston of the Knicks? If Van Gundy hadn't strongly urged him to take a large number of mid-range shots close to the three-point line, would this man be more than just a "mid-range shot king"? You must know that Houston's career three-point shooting percentage is as high as 40.2%, but his shot ratio is only 27%; while his long-range mid-range shooting percentage is 46%, but his shot ratio reaches 34.3%. There is a saying, if Alan Houston averaged one or two more three-pointers per game, his achievements in the field of three-pointers would not necessarily be lower than that of Ray Allen! The game between the Timberwolves and the Spurs was also very fierce. The two sides did not decide the winner until the last minute. In the end, the Timberwolves lost 82:87. In this game, Garnett and Duncan started a competition between the strongest forwards in the league. Garnett made 9 of 18 shots and scored 25 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 block and 3 steals. Duncan was even more conceding, making 13 of 20 shots from the field and scoring 33 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal. Whether it is personal data or team victory or defeat, Duncan had the last laugh in this game. The game between the Mavericks and the Jazz was also extremely intense. The two sides had been evenly matched. The winner was also decided at the last moment. The Jazz narrowly defeated the Mavericks by 2 points. The Mavericks' "troika" combination of Nowitzki, Finley and Nash has become quite large. All three of them scored more than 20 points in this game. On the Jazz side, in addition to Malone who scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, John Stockton, Brian Russell, Danny Manning and Donyel Marshall also scored in double figures. ??Among them, Danny Manning scored 12 points on 5 of 7 shots, and his performance was very efficient. ¡­¡­ On the morning of April 23, the NBA League¡¯s additional punishment was announced¡ªCampbell¡¯s foul on Mason was added to a second-level flagrant foul, and he will be suspended for one game and fined $5,000. As soon as this news was announced, the Heat generals were very happy. Wang Dalin couldn't help but secretly thought: "Sure enough, it is the natural cycle of retribution. Since you dare to do such a despicable thing, you must bear the corresponding punishment. Really God forgive me." who?" The Hornets are not as strong as the Heat. Although the Heat have lost an important player like Mason, the Hornets' next game will be damaged if Campbell cannot play. At present, almost everyone is optimistic that the Heat can sweep the Hornets 3:0 to advance to the next game. wheel. However, although everyone is optimistic that the Heat can easily defeat the Hornets, everyone in the East is generally more optimistic about the 76ers. The 76ers are really strong in the regular season this season! On the evening of April 23, four more playoff games were played. In the game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers, the live broadcast room of TNT TV station was busy again. Buckley grinned widely and said, "Kenny, if you have the ability, how about we make a bet today?" Smith squinted his eyes and smiled: "Okay, how do you want to bet?" Barkley gestured and said: "I will bet on both sides of this year's finals. The Lakers will definitely be on the West side, and the 76ers will be on the East side! If these two teams reach the Finals, you How about just live-streaming this year¡¯s finals topless?¡± Smith smiled and said: "What if not?" Barkley waved his hand and said: "Impossible! They must be the two teams entering the finals!" Smith said angrily: "You guysare you willing to fight like this? Come on, tell me, if not, what will you do?" Buckley smiled and said: "??, if by chanceI said just by chance! In case neither of their teams enter the finals, or one of them does not enter the finals, I will wear your underwear on my head during the live broadcast of this year's finals I mean I will always wear it on my head as long as the finals are live broadcast. Yes, I will always wear it even in the tiebreaker! " Smith slapped the table and said, "Okay, I'll bet!" ¡­¡­ On the night of April 23, the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers 106:93. Although the Trail Blazers' Rasheed Wallace efficiently scored 24 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks on 9 of 18 shots, how could he match O'Neal's huge double-double of 24 points and 20 rebounds in this game? And Kobe was not far behind. He made 9 of 20 shots from the field, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 9 of 12 free throws. He had an overall performance of 28 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. Surprisingly, Derek Fisher also broke out. He made 7 of 10 shots from the field, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 rebounds. assists. How could they lose when the entire Lakers team was full of momentum, and O'Neal made 10 of 15 free throws and grabbed 8 offensive rebounds? The Bucks also won by a big score against the Magic at home. They defeated the Magic 103:90. Even though Tracy McGrady had a "large triple-double" with 33 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, they still lost calmly. The Bucks' inside advantage is too great. Scott Williams grabbed 16 rebounds, Glenn Robinson grabbed 12 rebounds, and Earvin Johnson also scored 10 reboundsThe Bucks only rebounded. They grabbed 17 more than the Magic, including a 23-10 win in offensive rebounds. ?According to the words of Takenori Akagi, the number one center in Kanagawa Prefecture in "Slam Dunk"it's even difficult to lose! In the game between the Raptors and the Knicks, the Raptors led 44:41 in the first half, but the Knicks had the upper hand in the second half and ultimately lost 85:92. The reason why the Raptors lost was mainly because Vince Carter's performance was extremely hip-stretching. He made only 5 of 22 shots in the game and only scored 13 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. He completely failed to live up to his reputation as one of the "four major shooting guards". And Antonio Davis scored 19 points and 15 rebounds, but he could only be reduced to a scoreless game. Four players from the Knicks scored in double figures, including Alan Houston with 23 points, Kurt Thomas with 17 points and 13 rebounds, and Marcus Camby with 8 points and 18 rebounds (how does he look like Ben Wallace? ?). The most exciting game on April 23rd is between the Suns and the Kings. In this game, the Suns narrowly defeated the Kings 86:83. Although the score was very low, the game was extremely fierce and finally made the fans feel the atmosphere of the playoffs. In this defensive battle, Marion of the Suns scored 21 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, and Kidd also contributed 18 points, 6 rebounds and 14 assists. The "league's first point guard" really lived up to his reputation. Although Weber scored 27 points and 15 rebounds for the Kings, Peja and Divac also scored 13 points, 10 rebounds and 13 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists respectively, their shooting percentage was too low. Webber made 12 of 32 shots, Peja made 5 of 17 shots, Divac made 3 of 11 shots Who else can beat him with this kind of shooting rate? After the game on April 23, the first round of the playoffs has ended. There are only two games in total on April 24, the Heat vs. Hornets and the Timberwolves vs. Spurs G2 game. Since Mason was injured and absent, Riley mentioned Wang Dalin to the starting lineup (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 73 Sweep the promotion (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On the evening of April 24, the American Airlines Center was packed with seats. The home fans put on red and white Heat jerseys with various jersey numbers. Most fans are wearing Mourning's No. 33, Hardaway's No. 10 and Jones' No. 6 jerseys, while a few are wearing Grant's No. 44 and Mason's No. 14 jerseys. Wang Dalin found in the crowd that there were actually a few fans wearing his No. 8 jersey, and some of them were holding up KT boards with his mugshot and waving them constantly. Seeing this scene, Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel secretly happy After working hard for a season, my brother finally has the support of fans! In total, Wang Dalin¡¯s number of fans is no less than that of Mason and Grant. This is not because Miami fans prefer Chinese players. The main reason is that Wang Dalin has performed really well this season. Of course, the most important thing is this guy is handsome! Wang Dalin has a handsome appearance and a slender figure. After a season of hard training, his figure is no longer as thin as when he was drafted last year. ?????????? If in China, according to Chinese aesthetic standards, his arms are a bit too long, but since he plays basketball isn't it just right to have long arms? ¡°If Chairman Yao¡¯s arms were two inches longer, with his height and rebounding ability, how could he average less than 10 rebounds per game in his career? In this game, Wang Dalin entered the starting lineup. He replaced Mason's power forward position and faced P.J. Brown on the Hornets' side. Since his inside offensive and defensive capabilities are slightly worse, Wang Dalin is still more accustomed to operating at the top of the three-point arc. In this position, there is no need to fight with the opponent's inside muscles, and he can also give full play to his advantages in movement speed and shooting. Brown is the same height as Wang Dalin at 211cm, but he weighs only 102kg and his movement speed is relatively fast among inside players. And Brown is very active in rebounding. He averaged 9.3 rebounds per game this season, including 3.2 offensive rebounds. He is considered a very good rebounder. It¡¯s just that since he entered the league, he has only been considered a blue-collar power forward. The season with the highest scoring average was only 11.4 points. His offensive power is at least two levels worse than the current Wang Dalin. Brown¡¯s finishing rate at the basket this season is 55.5%, and his shooting percentage from the left and right sides of the free throw line is only 40.6%. His offensive efficiency is not high either at the basket or in the mid-range. However, Brown averaged 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals per game. As a blue-collar player, his performance on the defensive end is quite qualified. In this game, Wang Dalin faced Brown, who was equally taller and faster than him. He had a bit of trouble on the offensive end, making only 5 of 13 shots. And Brown¡¯s defensive experience is quite sophisticated. Wang Dalin even only got 1 foul on him, and only got 4 free throw opportunities in the whole game. However, the Heat's offense went very smoothly, because Wang Dalin changed his style of play in time after the first three attacks, and began to concentrate on passing the ball to his teammates, and his assists were so exciting! In addition, Hardaway also sent 8 assists in this game. He and Wang Dalin alone contributed 15 assists. The Heat's offense was so "reasonable"! In the end, as expected, the Heat defeated the Hornets 101:89, leading 2:0 in the first round of the playoffs. Wang Dalin scored 14 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block. Although it was slightly inferior to his performance in the G1 game, he still showed his comprehensiveness to the fullest. Wang Dalin was certainly happy to win the game, but what was even more gratifying was that on the morning of April 25, the league announced the winner of this season's Rookie of the Year Award, and the trophy had been mailed to Miami in advance. There were no surprises. Wang Dalin lived up to expectations and won this award. In the voting of many sports reporters and TV commentators, Wang Dalin received more than 70% of the first-place votes and won the Best Rookie Award with a very large advantage. This is the first trophy he has won in the NBA. He solemnly placed it in the most conspicuous place in his wine cabinet. Now that he is still renting a house because he is too poor, Wang Dalin decided that when he has money to buy a big house or villa, he must set up a special room as his trophy display room I guess this is what superstars like Jordan, James, and Kobe do. Bar? After the G2 game, the two sides had a truce for four days. The Hornets will face the Heat at home on the evening of April 28. After losing two games in a row, they have been pushed to the edge of the cliff. This is also their last chance. On April 25th and 26th, Riley engaged in "devil training" again. This guy simply felt uncomfortable without "devil training". Wang Dalin was very surprised.Why would the smart Riley be so keen on doing this kind of "suicidal" thing? Is he just seeking death? If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he always exhausted the players during training, with the luxurious lineup of the Lakers at the time, how could they only win 4 championships? After two days, Wang Dalin and the Heat players were as tired as dead dogs. Fortunately, Riley did not continue to commit suicide on April 27, and everyone finally got a rare chance to breathe. On the evening of April 28, the G3 game between the Heat and the Hornets began. In this game, all the players of the Hornets fought fiercely. The players knew that if they lost this game, everyone would have to go back to their homes to find their own mothers, so they showed an amazing fighting spirit. When Campbell was fighting for rebounds, he was hit by Mourning's iron elbow and his eyebrow bone was broken. After his face was bleeding, he just went back to the locker room to deal with it for a while and then hurried back to the court In order to save a ball that was about to go out of bounds, Brown flew out of the court and fell into the audience Davis¡¯s breakthrough is like holding a bag of explosives and dying with the enemy. Every time he gets to the basket of the Heat, he always falls to his feet Because of frequent and fierce physical confrontations, Mashburn had many fierce quarrels with Bowen. If the referee had not separated them in time, they would have started fighting Although the Hornets tried their best, the Heat still won the game 92:86. Basketballit still depends on your strength! Although the Heat lost Mason, Wang Dalin stepped up in time, and how powerful is Mourning as the sixth man? The starting players of both sides were evenly matched, but as soon as the second team led by Mourning came on the stage, the score was quickly opened up. Wang Dalin scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in this game. It seemed that his performance was not as good as in the previous two games. However, he only took 8 shots and hit 5 goals. His efficiency was obviously higher than the previous two games. After three games, the Heat directly swept the Hornets to advance to the next round. Their opponent will be between the Bucks and Magic. The Bucks currently lead 2:0. Wang Dalin can¡¯t remember whether the Bucks swept the Magic at that time, but he hopes that the Magic can support two more games so that the Heat players can get more rest. Fighting a buck is not as easy as fighting a wasp! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 74 Tracy McGrady rises (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! In the 2000-2001 season, the Bucks ranked second in the Eastern Conference with 52 wins and 30 losses in the regular season. It can be said that except for the 76ers, the Bucks are the Heat's most powerful opponent in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks have "Big Dog" Glenn Robinson and "Gentleman Sword" Ray Allen, two offensive strongmen who average 22 points per game, as well as Sam Cassell, a guy who looks like an alien. I have to mention "e.t" Cassell, who averaged 18.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game. He is definitely one of the top ten point guards in the league. ¡°At least, Hardaway, who is clearly no longer at his peak this season, must be slightly inferior to him. On the defensive end, they are definitely inferior to the Heat. This is natural. When has a team coached by George Karl ever been better defensively? The Bucks ranked second in the league with an average of 100.7 points per game, sixth in the league in field goal percentage of 45.8%, and fifth in the league in three-point shooting percentage of 37.9%. Their offensive firepower this season is second only to the Kings. Second in the league and first in the Eastern Conference! (Don¡¯t doubt it, almost all teams in that era believed in the phrase ¡°defense wins championships¡±, so the average points per game were very low!) With such strong offensive firepower, who the hell would bother with poor defense? Just like the Kings, who rank first in the league in points per game this season, is their defense good? Like George Karl, Rick Adelman is also a head coach who is not very good at defense. To put it bluntly, the "Princeton tactics" are still offensive tactics and have nothing to do with defense! On the evening of April 29, the G3 game between the Bucks and the Magic started as scheduled. Wang Dalin called House to his home to watch the game with him. The Bucks showed some advantages in the first half. At halftime, they led the Magic by 6 points, 50:44. Seeing this, Wang Dalin couldn't help but become a little anxious: "Magic team, please work harder t-mac, what the hell are you doing? Why did you only score 11 points at halftime?" House smiled and said: "Calm down Calm down! T-Mac is just dozing off and hasn't woken up yet. You see, his eyes haven't even opened yet! Don't worry, he will definitely wake up in the second half. By then, the Bucks will That¡¯s bad luck!¡± Wang Dalin couldn't help but be startled, and then rolled his eyes at him. Didn¡¯t McGrady even open his eyes? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Off??? McGrady made only 4 of 11 shots in the first half, and it seemed that he really had a bad touch. Moreover, he only grabbed 2 rebounds and only had 1 assist. He did not show his comprehensive skills at all. On the other hand, for the Bucks, Cassell made 4 of 12 shots, which was a bit stretched, but "Junzi Lei" scored 12 points efficiently on 5 of 7 shots, which was in sharp contrast to McGrady. The situation suddenly changed at the beginning of the second half. At the beginning of the third quarter, McGrady frequently held the ball and played in isolations. He scored 10 points on 4 of 6 shots in this quarter. Compared with the first half, he seemed to be a different person. Thanks to McGrady¡¯s strong output, the Magic defeated the Bucks by 12 points 36:24 in the third quarter. After the third quarter, the Magic led by 6 points 80:74. For the Bucks, Cassell made 2 of 7 shots in the third quarter, Thomas made 0 of 2 shots, and "Big Dog" Robinson made 1 of 4 shots. If it weren't for Scott Williams, who made 3 of 4 shots and scored 8 points in a single quarter. , they will definitely lose more. In the fourth quarter, the Bucks finally returned to normal. Thomas, Robinson and Ray Allen all made 3 of 5 shots and scored 11, 7 and 8 points respectively. McGrady didn¡¯t stretch his hips either. He frequently relied on breakthroughs to attack the Bucks¡¯ interior in the fourth quarter. He made 4 of 9 shots in a single quarter, plus 9 of 9 free throws to score 17 points. Wang Dalin and House watched with excitement, especially at the last moment when the two teams were fighting inextricably. They actually felt a little suffocated. Although it is "nothing to do with anything," the outcome of the Bucks and Magic tonight is directly related to whether they can rest for a few more days, so tension is inevitable. At the end of the fourth quarter, the two sides tied at 110:110, and overtime was required. Wang Dalin took advantage of the commercial on the TV station and quickly went to the toilet The game was so exciting that there was no peeing at all, but it made him choke. When Wang Dalin finished urinating, House followed him to the toilet. Wang Dalin couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile: "Who told you to rush to marry a wife at a young age Your kidneys are not good, right? Look at me how good I am at holding back urine?" Overtime began soon. Due to serious physical decline, the shooting percentages of players on both sides dropped significantly. McGrady, who scored 37 points in regular time, was also a little weak in his legs. He only made 2 of 6 shots in overtime, and even missed two free throws.?? situation. Fortunately, the Bucks' shooting rate is not good either. Thomas made a strong 3 of 5 shots in the fourth quarter, but went 0 of 2 in overtime. Ray Allen and Cassell also only made 1 of 3 shots. middle. The Magic defeated the Bucks 121:116 and tied the score to 1:2, finally retaining a glimmer of hope. Wang Dalin and House couldn't help shouting excitedly when they saw the end: "Here's Ollie!" It cannot be said that the Bucks did not play well in this game. Ray Allen scored 27 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. Cassell, a point guard who is only 191cm tall, also scored 21 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists. The main reason is that McGrady is too strong. He made 14 of 32 shots and scored 41 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals. He perfectly explained what it means to be a superstar. And Magic point guard Darrell Armstrong, who is only 183cm tall, had equally amazing statistics of 18 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists in this game. "Look at these two point guards with the heart of a center. Wang Dalin can't help but look ashamed even though he averages 6.8 rebounds per game. There are three other games on April 29th, namely the 76ers versus the Pacers, the Spurs versus the Timberwolves, and the Jazz versus the Mavericks. The 76ers, who had already regained a victory, continued their efforts and defeated the Pacers again in the G3 game, with a score of 92:87. This game became a fierce scoring battle between Allen Iverson and Reggie Miller. Although Iverson made only 11 of 28 shots, he made 10 of 14 from the free throw line and scored 32 points and 7 points. Rebounds and 6 assists. Miller made 11 of 25 shots, including 5 of 14 three-pointers and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 35 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Miller won in terms of individual points, but the 76ers had the last laugh. In the Spurs vs. Timberwolves game, David Robinson made a direct comeback, scoring 22 points and 17 rebounds. Duncan also scored 15 points and 10 rebounds. However, for the Timberwolves, Kevin Garnett scored 22 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Trier Brandon scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, and Wally Szczerbiak scored 18 points and 6 assists. With 3 rebounds and 3 assists, the overall performance was indeed better than the Spurs. In the end, the Timberwolves won the G3 game 93:84, still trailing 1:2 by a big score. The Jazz lost to the Mavericks 91:94. Although Karl Malone scored 29 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists, he only made 11 of 28 shots in the game, while Nowitzki on the Mavericks made 9 of 19 shots. High efficiency leads to judgment. Nowitzki scored 33 points and 10 rebounds, especially when he shot 13 of 14 from the free throw line. He is worthy of being the most accurate big man in this period bar none. The Magic won the G3 game, and the G4 game with the Bucks will not be held until May 2. The Heat can rest for a few more days I hope Riley will not engage in "devil training" again! After House left, when Wang Dalin was happy that he could rest for a few more days, Jeff Schwartz suddenly called him (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 75 Sneaker Endorsement (1) (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! As soon as Wang Dalin answered the phone, Schwartz went straight to the point: "Wang, several sporting goods companies I told you about last time have contacted me and they have re-quoted you!" "Really? How much do they quote?" "'Nike' is US$7.5 million in five years, 'Adidas' is US$10 million in five years, 'Reebok' is US$10 million in five years, and 'Puma' is US$11 million in five years!" This price has indeed increased to a certain extent compared to the end of the regular season, but it has not increased so exaggeratedly. Wang Dalin thought for a moment and said: "Why are they all quotes for 5 years? Are there any quotes with a shorter contract periodsuch as 2 years or 1 year?" Schwartz was a little surprised and said: "Wang, isn't it? Why do you want to sign a short-term contract? Isn't it good to sign a long-term contract?" After a slight pause, Schwartz explained patiently: "Wang, I have to say that I admire your confidence. You believe that you will perform better and better. But the reality is that if you I mean if Your performance next season is not as good as expected, or you are injured and miss a long time, which will greatly affect your market situation! Therefore, I advise you to sign a long-term contract to be safer!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I know it well! I just want to sign a short-term contract now, preferably an endorsement contract of 1 or 2 years, and the longest should not exceed 3 years!" joke! How could I not perform as expected if I have a "bad system"? With my speed of progress, how can others compare with me? ?????????????????? I don¡¯t believe it, I won¡¯t be able to make the All-Star team in two or three years? For an All-Star, the sneaker endorsement contract must be at least several million dollars a year, right? Signing a short-term contract now is purely for the purpose of "catching big fish in the long term"! What¡¯s the point of staring at these three melons and two jujubes in front of you? Schwartz was silent for a while, and finally said: "Okay, I respect your opinion and I will talk to them! But you have to be mentally prepared. If you make a short appointment, the price will definitely be much lower!" "Okay!" Wang Dalin seemed to suddenly remember something and said hurriedly, "By the way, why didn't you say 'Li Ning'? Didn't they offer a price?" Schwartz said: "That's right'Li Ning' does not have an offer, but they hope you can meet with their chairman, Mr. Li Ning!" "Is there such a thing?" Wang Dalin was surprised and said hurriedly, "Did they say what time it was?" Schwartz was a little surprised by Wang Dalin's reaction, but his good professionalism still made him calmly say: "They said it's up to you to set the time. After all, you are playing in the playoffs now, so the time may not be easy to arrange!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "The Magic defeated the Bucks in the third game. I don't know when the second round of the playoffs will start, but I am free now. Please help me make an appointment with them. I will meet them tomorrow or after training the day after tomorrow." If you have time, just find a coffee shop here at the University of Miami!" Schwartz said: "Okay, I'll contact them right now!" After hanging up the phone, Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel a little excited. It¡¯s time to meet Li Ning. He is a big figure in the Chinese sports world. He was known as the ¡°Prince of Gymnastics¡± back then! As a basketball fan, Wang Dalin¡¯s most admired idol in his previous life was naturally Chairman Yao. After all, he is the only Chinese basketball player who has established a foothold in the NBA and achieved superstar status. But if we zoom in from the basketball world to the entire sports world, then the name Li Ning is probably even more resounding than Yao Ming in the Chinese sports world. Li Ning was born in Guangxi, China on March 10, 1963. He started practicing gymnastics at the age of 6, joined the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region gymnastics team at the age of 8, and was selected for the national team at the age of 17. Throughout his entire sports career, he has won a total of 14 world championships. In addition to various domestic competitions, he has won more than 100 gold medals in his life. ??It can be said without politeness that in the early stages of China's sports world entering the world, Li Ning was the most shining star no one! Li Ning has not been idle after retiring. He obtained the International Gymnastics Referee Certificate in 1989. From the 1991 World Championships in Indianapolis, USA, to the 2000 World Cup Finals in Glasgow, England, in the past 10 years, he has participated in all world gymnastics competitions. All have served as law enforcement referees. What is even more commendable is Li Ning¡¯s achievements in the business world. After retiring in 1989, he joined the Guangdong "Jianlibao" Group and founded the sports goods brand "Li-Ning".   After that, he took the opportunity of sponsoring the Chinese delegation at the 1990 Asian Games and started the business of Li Ning Company, thereby pioneering the management of Chinese sporting goods brands. In the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, "Li-Ning" was selected as the exclusive award-winning equipment for the Chinese sports delegation, thus ending the history of Chinese athletes wearing foreign sports brand clothing at the Olympics. After ten years of development, "Li Ning" has already become the number one brand of sporting goods in China, and has signed agency agreements with dealers in 9 overseas countries and regions. ¡­¡­ Although Wang Dalin basically wears his own pair of "aj-13" to play games, in fact he doesn't like "Nike" at all, nor does he like foreign brands such as "Adidas", "Reebok" and "Puma". In his mind, domestic brands such as "Anta", "Li Ning" and "Peak" are really good. In his previous life, he basically wore shoes of these brands. Of course, Wang Dalin in his previous life did not have much money in his pocket. He could buy a pair of "Anta" or "Li Ning" for five to six hundred yuan. If you buy "Nike" or "Adidas" at this price, what else can you buy besides those out-of-season shoes with missing sizes? Domestic brands are cheap and high-quality, aren¡¯t they better than Nike and Adidas? And Wang Dalin likes to wear shoes of domestic brands not just for the sake of cheapness, but because he really likes to wear shoes of these domestic brands. ??Look at the basketball shoes produced by ¡°Anta¡±, ¡°Li Ning¡± and ¡°Peak¡±. They are good-looking and comfortable to wear, and their technological content is not inferior to foreign brands. Why do you have to spend a lot of money to buy ¡°Nike¡± and ¡°Adidas¡±? So when it comes to signing sneaker endorsements, his first choice is "Li Ning", for no other reason than my buddy is Chinese! In the original time and space, "Li-Ning" owed superstar Dwight Wade a sky-high 10-year endorsement contract of US$100 million in 2012. In 2018, Wade announced his retirement, and "Li-Ning" He signed a lifetime contract. In October 2020, "Li Ning" signed Jimmy Butler, the star of the Heat, and snatched this piece of "fat" from "aj"! "Look at Wade, Butler and other stars who wear "Li-Ning" sneakers to compete in the NBA. Which one of them does not play well? Which one was injured due to sneakers again? Therefore, Wang Dalin believes in the scientific research strength of "Li Ning" and believes that the sneakers they produce must be no worse than those of "Nike" and "Adidas". If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there are no domestic brand stores in the United States, he might have replaced the ¡°aj-13¡± on his feet. In addition, Wang Dalin knows that if he signs a contract with "Li Ning", his popularity in China will definitely rise to a higher level. When it comes to the All-Star voting next season haha! Wang Dalin: Oh, I'm not targeting Garnett, O'Neal, Carter, Iverson and Kobe, I'm talking about comparing votes with me. You guys are all gay (trash) and sex (trash)! Schwartz called Wang Dalin early in the morning on April 30 and told Wang Dalin: Li Ning and his personal assistant were on the plane and would come to Miami to meet him on May 1 (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 76 Sneaker Endorsement (2) (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! May 1st, International Labor Day. The Heat players did not rest because of this holiday. The team still conducted some training to maintain their condition. Of course, it was not a high-volume exercise like "devil training". Riley seems to have learned his lesson. Before the G3 game with the Hornets, he engaged in "devil training" for two consecutive days. Several of the Heat's main players were physically weak during the game. If he hadn't added more rotation players of playing time, I'm afraid the Heat will kneel down in that game. After the training, Wang Dalin came to the "Rose Night" cafe near the University of Miami as scheduled Just by looking at the name, you can tell that the main customer base of this cafe is college students in love. Of course he didn¡¯t come here to date any girl, but to meet Li Ning. For this meeting, Schwartz also flew over from Cleveland. Although he has resigned from IMG, he still lives in Cleveland. As far as Wang Dalin knew, Schwartz and his two friends were planning to locate the company on Wall Street in New York. Naturally, the name was "Excellent Sports Management Company" that they had long thought of, which translated into Chinese is "Excellent Sports Management Company." . Wall Street in New York is not only the economic center of the United States, but also the economic center of the entire world. For Schwartz, opening his company here is definitely the best choice. Arriving at the coffee shop, Wang Dalin and Li Ning finally met. Li Ning, who was born in 1963, is currently 38 years old. As a businessman, he was in the prime of life. Wang Dalin noticed that although Li Ning looked kind, he had an indescribable powerful aura. "Perhapsthis is the so-called 'king's spirit', right?" Thinking of these nonsensical tunes in his heart, Wang Dalin smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Teacher Li, I feel very honored to meet you. My parents admire you very much!" Li Ning stood up with a smile and shook hands with Wang Dalin: "Your parents admire me? Then should you call me Uncle Li?" Gymnasts are generally not tall, and Li Ning is only 164cm tall. When he stood up to shake hands, the top of his head did not reach Wang Dalin's chest. He couldn't help but sigh: "Dalin, you are so tall!" Wang Dalin smiled slightly and said: "I play basketball, so it's normal to be tall!" After both parties sat down, Li Ning smiled and said: "We are all compatriots in the same country, so we are not outsiders. If I have anything to say, I will say it directly Dalin, I am very optimistic about your development in the NBA. If you are willing to cooperate with We sign a sneaker endorsement contract, and you will become the most important spokesperson for 'Li-Ning'!" Li Ning¡¯s personal assistant also played the role of translator and translated this sentence into English almost at the same time. Before Wang Dalin could speak, Schwartz had already spoken: "Mr. Li Ning, how much will you quote to my client?" Li Ning did not listen to the assistant's translation and said directly in fluent English: "The previous quotation our company gave Dalin was 50 million soft sister coins over five years. This price obviously underestimated Dalin. I didn't know about it at the time. Afterwards, I For those who have criticized the Ministry of Commerce, I must also apologize to Dalin in person Dalin, I am really sorry, I should have personally dealt with this matter!" Wang Dalin quickly leaned forward and said: "Uncle Li, I already call you Uncle Li, why are you so polite?" Li Ning said seriously: "I have always been in business. No matter whether we can reach a cooperative relationship or not, at least 'Li Ning' cannot give such an unprofessional quotation!" Schwartz smiled and said: "Mr. Li Ning, I think my customer has already felt your sincerity. Just tell me what your latest quotation is, right?" Li Ning stretched out his hand and gestured: "Our quotation for Dalin is 30 million US dollars over five years, or we can directly use the soft sister currency to quote, that is 250 million yuan over five years!" The current exchange rate of U.S. dollars to soft sister coins is about 1:8.28, so 250 million soft sister coins is almost 30 million US dollars. Schwartz couldn¡¯t help but sit up straight, and the smile on his face froze. This quotation obviously far exceeded his expectations. In his opinion, the five-year quotation of US$11 million given by "Puma" was already very good. Unexpectedly, Li Ning directly more than tripled the price. It¡¯s still only 2001. Even if Wang Dalin is the Rookie of the Year winner this season, the price is indeed very high. You should know that the endorsement contract Yao Ming signed with Nike in 1999 was only $200,000 for four years. Later, when he participated in the draft and became the No. 1 pick, the renewal offer given by "Nike" was 4 years and 1.6 million US dollars It must be said that "Nike's" highThe layer is really stupid! When James landed in the NBA in 2003, "Nike" decisively made an offer of US$90 million for seven years. In comparison, Yao Ming's US$1.6 million for four years was completely cheap. Who are you trying to disgust? At this price, you actually want to sign the popular No. 1 pick? In the words of Teacher Guo "Are you going to die?" So Yao Ming directly signed a seven-year, $50 million endorsement contract with Reebok. Even if Nike later quoted Yao Ming $120 million over seven years, he ignored it. When Yao Ming signed a contract with "Reebok" in 2003, the price was only US$50 million for seven years, and Li Ning gave Wang Dalin an offer of US$30 million for five years in 2001 If inflation and price increases are taken into account, Taking factors into account, it is basically not much different from Yao Ming's contract. As Wang Dalin's manager, Schwartz certainly did not forget his previous instructions, so he coughed twice and said: "That's it, Mr. Li Ning, what Darling-Wang means is that he hopes to sign a short-term contract. I don't know." Can Li Ning give him a two-year or three-year offer?" Li Ning was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Wang Dalin with squinted eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Da Lin, it seems that you are very confident, right?" Wang Dalin also smiled and said: "Uncle Li, don't laugh at me. I always feel that I am still far from my peak, so I must sign a short-term contract!" Li Ning just pondered for a moment and then said: "Okay, I'll give you two options. The first is 15 million US dollars in 3 years; the second is 8 million US dollars in 2 years, plus 5% of sneaker revenue dividends. Which one do you want to choose?" A sort of?" The first one is 5 million per year, which is 1 million lower than 30 million per year in 5 years. The second one is only 4 million per year, which is much lower. Wang Dalin said without hesitation: "I choose the second option!" Schwartz kept gesticulating to Wang Dalin under the table, hoping that he would choose the first option, but Wang Dalin ignored him at all. Just kidding, why should I choose a three-year program when I have two years? 2 years I'm already an All-Star, okay? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? were? is?the 5% dividend on sneaker revenue and how much money should I get? Schwartz, you don¡¯t know how big the Chinese market is, right? When this contract expired in 2003, Wang Dalin estimated that his worth at that time shouldn't be lower than Yao Ming's 7-year, $50 million, right? Li Ning unconsciously tapped the table with his fingers and said: "It doesn't matter to me which one you choose. I only have one additional requirement, that is, we 'Li Ning' must have the priority to renew the contract!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Uncle Li, this is no problem, just write this clause directly into the contract!" Li Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Da Lin, do you know that when I look at you now it's like I'm seeing myself back then? You're so scary!" Wang Dalin joked: "Uncle Li, you don't promote yourself like this. Were you as tall as me back then?" Li Ning couldn't help but laugh and said: "You brat, you dare to make fun of your Uncle Li, right? I will let Xiao Zhang discuss the details of the contract with Mr. Schwartz, and then it is your turn to show your loyalty as a landlord. You Li Ning Uncle, it¡¯s so easy for me to come to Miami, why don¡¯t you treat me to a nice meal?¡± Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Okay, what would Uncle Li want to eat? How about we go eat seafood?" Li Ning smiled and said, "I'm a guest who does as he pleases. It's good to eat seafood. You can lead the way!" Wang Dalin nodded and said: "Okay, I will take you to eat the best seafood in Miami!" Where is the best seafood in Miami? Of course it¡¯s the restaurant Wang Dalin went to last time with Haos and Su Qun (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 77 Another temporary mission (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On the evening of May 2, the G4 game between the Bucks and the Magic began. Wang Dalin still invited his best friend House to watch the game together. As soon as the game started, the Magic immediately launched a fierce attack. Tracy McGrady, Mike Miller and Armstrong all had high shooting percentages. In the first quarter alone, McGrady scored 8 points on 4-of-7 shooting, Miller and Armstrong scored 9 points each, and Andrew DeKlerk also scored 6 points on 2-of-5 shooting. The Bucks are struggling here. Ray Allen and Robinson each scored 6 points, and Cassell scored 5 points. Their offensive efficiency is obviously not as good as the Magic players. After the first quarter, the Magic led by a score of 36:22. Wang Dalin and House looked at each other, and both saw the joy on each other's faces - "Magic is awesome, it looks like we can rest for a few more days!" However, the good times did not last long. In the second quarter, "Junzi Lei" began to show his strength. He made 3 of 3 shots, one of which was a three-pointer, and also made two free throws. He scored 9 points efficiently in a single quarter. Tim Thomas was even more awesome. He made 4 of 7 shots and 2 of 2 free throws in the second quarter to score 10 points. He also grabbed 4 rebounds. McGrady's touch became cold for the Magic, and he only scored 2 points on 1 of 4 shots. Fortunately, his passing skills have always been excellent, and he gave 3 assists to his teammates. The Magic¡¯s best performer in the second quarter was substitute forward Don Reed. He scored 7 points on 3-of-4 shooting, and his offensive efficiency was very high. In the second quarter alone, the Magic were chased by the Bucks for 10 points, but they still led by 4 points at 61:57 at the end of the first half. Wang Dalin was secretly anxious: "Maddiebrother, you must hold on tight! Don't let the Bucks catch up!" The third quarter continued, and the two sides still started to attack. McGrady started a lot of offense with the ball on the Magic side. He made 5 of 11 shots from inside and outside, plus 3 of 5 free throws. He scored 13 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound in a single quarter. Miller also felt hot. He scored 8 points on 3 of 5 shots, completing his task as a shooter very well. However, the entire Bucks team felt better. Cassell made 4 of 6 shots and scored 14 points on 4 of 4 free throws. Williams and "Junzi Lei" also scored 8 and 7 points respectively. They completely suppressed the Magic in this quarter. After three quarters of hard work, the shooting percentages of both sides dropped significantly in the fourth quarter. If the confrontation between the two sides in the third quarter made the fans mesmerized, their performance in the fourth quarter was simply horrific: Cassell made 1 of 5 shots, Robinson made 1 of 5 shots, and McGrady made 0 of 4 shots. , Armstrong made 1 of 6 shots, Garrity made 0 of 4 shots, Miller made 2 of 6 shots In fact, the Magic performed slightly better than the Bucks in the fourth quarter, but they lost by 14 points in the third quarter, which was equivalent to being behind by a full 10 points at the end of the third quarter. Such a big hole is not a "slightly better" performance. It can be filled in in just one click. In the end, the Bucks defeated the Magic 112:104, won the G4 game, and successfully advanced to the second round of the playoffs. McGrady's state in this game was much worse than in the previous game. He only hit 10 goals in a total of 26 shots, and even made only 5 of 8 free throws. Even though he finally got 25 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, his performance was okay. Said it was a big loss. No matter who it is, hitting the iron 16 times in a game is a bit stretched Of course, even though Kobe hit the iron 18 times in the game when he scored 81 points, he made 28 of 46 shots, which is still a very high shooting rate! Just at the end of the game, there was a sudden "ding" in Wang Dalin's mind, which scared him so much that he almost spilled the orange juice on his hand. "Wang, it seems that our comfortable days are over!" House said to Wang Dalin before leaving, "If I am not mistaken, we will most likely have to fly to Milwaukee tomorrow night!" Wang Dalin nodded in agreement. Having been with Riley for so long, they have a pretty good idea of ??his temperament. House is right. Riley is likely to gather the team in advance and go to Milwaukee for adaptation training. After House left, Wang Dalin quickly opened the system interface and saw a pop-up task appearing in front of him - "Temporary task: McGrady's obsession!" ¡°Tramp McGrady¡¯s obsession: The future Hall of Fame superstar McGrady shot 16 times against the Bucks and developed a very strong obsession, so the system has issued this temporary task.¡± "Specific requirements: In the game against the Bucks, the host needs to take 16 shots and the shooting rate is less than 40%, and the subsequent shots will be 100% successful! (This is applicable to every game against the Bucks in this playoffs)" "Extra reward for this mission: The host can specify any one ability value to be increased by 5 points! (Common to every game against the Bucks in this playoffs)"  "Note: The host is not allowed to intentionally miss when shooting. Such situations will not be counted in the number of shots!" Wang Dalin almost laughed out loud when he saw it. what is this? ? 16 shots and still have a hit rate below 40%? Is the system encouraging me to work hard? It seems that this is a bit difficult? If you are a superstar on the team, it is actually normal to take 16 shots in a game. For example, Iverson averaged 25.5 shots per game this season. But Wang Dalin is just a rookie of the Heat. Even if his tactical status is already very high, taking more than 16 shots in a game is still a bit too much. He only averages 10.4 shots per game this season, mainly because of his relatively high playing style." Selfless". The task requires that his shooting percentage must be less than 40%, and he can only make 6 out of 16 shots at most. Wang Dalin is almost certain that if he only scores 6 goals in 16 shots, Riley will probably look ugly! It is even possible to replace him directly and put him on the bench until the end of the game How to do it? With Wang Dalin's shooting ability, as long as he doesn't have to force the shot against the defense, it is really difficult to shoot below 40%. Do you really want to go up and cast hard? ???????????????????????????? Not to mention the reward of hitting 100% every time after 16 shots in the game. Isn¡¯t the extra 5 points of ability worth it? Wang Dalin has not improved his ability value for a long time. Seeing such a good opportunity to add points, how could he be willing to let it go? And the second round of the playoffs against the Bucks is a best-of-seven game, which means that he can get at least 4 extra point opportunities That's 20 points! Wang Dalin even thought with some malice: Should he deliberately let go and lose? It's best to play 7 games with the Bucks, so I can add 35 points! But this thought only flashed through his mind. After all, after shooting 16 times, every shot was 100% successful It seems difficult to lose the game, right? There is only one question at the moment, and that is how can he continue to stay on the court with such a low shooting percentage? Wang Dalin lowered his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly smiled and patted his thigh and said: "Why didn't I think of this method? Okay, let's do it like this!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 78 The first endorsement (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Schwartz¡¯s work efficiency is very high, and Li Ning is also a resolute person, so the contract for Wang Dalin to endorse ¡°Li Ning¡± sneakers was quickly drawn up through negotiation between the two parties. On the morning of May 4, Wang Dalin and Li Ning signed their names on the contract under the witness of a third-party lawyer invited by Schwartz. "Li Ning" will pay Wang Dalin's first-year endorsement fee of US$4 million by bank transfer before June 30, 2001. As for the second-year endorsement fee, it will be from June 15 to 30, 2002. Payment, the contract period is from July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2003. During this period, "Li Ning" needs to customize a sneaker for Wang Dalin every year. This series of sneakers is tentatively named "Vulcan". The meaning of this name is of course not the Vulcan in "Kuroko's Basketball", because Wang Dalin is currently in The team is called "Heat". As for other specially customized sneakers, such as the All-Star Rookie Challenge, which Wang Dalin will almost definitely attend next season, or participation in high-profile events such as the All-Star Three-Point Contest, "Li Ning" will naturally provide them in a timely manner. Launched the "Vulcan All-Star Commemorative" sneakers. Wang Dalin also has obligations that must be fulfilled, such as how many times he must attend "Li-Ning" promotional activities every offseason, and signing events when the "Vulcan" series of sneakers are released, etc. The most important thing is From July 1, 2001, as long as Wang Dalin plays in official games, he must wear "Li Ning" brand basketball shoes, and he is no longer allowed to wear other brands. This also means that when Wang Dalin represented the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian Championships in July this year, he must have worn "Li Ning" basketball shoes on his feet. If the research and development speed of "Li Ning" is fast enough, maybe he will already be wearing the "Vulcan Generation" on his feet by then. Of course, there are definitely more activities arranged by "Li-Ning". Every offseason, Wang Dalin must return to China to participate in some large-scale fan interaction activities. These are all written into the contract. At present, "Li Ning" has launched several basketball shoes. When he came to sign the contract this time, they also brought a few pairs according to his shoe size, and gave them all to him after signing the contract. Wang Dalin put on "Li Ning" shoes when he was preparing for the second round of the playoffs against the Bucks Anyway, he had already signed a contract, so what happened to fulfilling his obligations in advance? Didn¡¯t you see that ¡°Uncle Li¡± immediately paid a US$1 million signing fee after signing the contract? In this era, it is an unspoken "unspoken rule" for everyone to pay a signing fee when signing a contract with a celebrity. Li Ning gave him a signing fee of 1 million US dollars. Wang Dalin didn't know whether it was too much or too little, but he was already very satisfied The main thing was that he was still poor! Schwartz was also very satisfied. Although Wang Dalin did not choose to sign a 5-year or 3-year long-term contract, which resulted in his commission being much less, the commission ratio of his and Wang Dalin's agent contract was originally relatively low. He didn't expect to make much money from Wang Dalin now. With Wang Dalin as a "money tree", are you afraid that you won't be able to make big money in the future? This is only Wang Dalin¡¯s first endorsement contract. If he negotiates a few more commercial endorsements for Wang Dalin, won¡¯t the commission be much higher? By the wayWang Dalin's "Ford F150" is a bit low-key. Should we go out and find a few car brands to talk about it? And Wang Dalin doesn't know how to dress himself at all. He always wears Heat training clothes. Don't clothes like "Versace" and "Armani" look good? ¡­¡­ ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? From "working people" to "millionaires", Wang Dalin of course has to "mean" to his brothers on the Heat team. On the day he signed the contract, he gave each teammate a small but thoughtful gift. For example, he gave Mourning a bright silver car wheel and Hardaway his favorite singer Whit. Nicki Houston's vinyl record What he gave House was a complete set of baby clothes. Anyway, this guy is getting married in the offseason, so Wang Dalin can be considered a gift in advance. Even Mason, who was still lying in the hospital bed, received a gift from Wang Dalin, which was a whole box of A-level movie tapes. When receiving the gift, Mason couldn't laugh or cry. What the hell are you doing? Although we are all adults and don¡¯t need to care about these little details But if you want to give these things, can¡¯t you be more low-key? Now, who among the beautiful nurses in the hospital is willing to accompany me to watch the stars and the moon? ¡­¡­ That night Wang Dalin also invited everyone to go to the nightclub to have fun. Of course, he just invited everyone to drink and dance I must be responsible for the money he picks up and brings out the girls! The war is about to begin, press ?? He said that Wang Dalin shouldn't be so "high-profile", but everyone was training very hard during this period, and Riley didn't say anything. Wang Dalin, of course, also invited Riley, but the "divine fortune teller" declined, probably because he, an old man in his late sixties, really didn't like the noisy environment of nightclubs. When everyone arrived at the nightclub, it was still the familiar box. After the drinks were served, House picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "Brothers, we are all gathered together today to celebrate Darling's signing of a sneaker endorsement. Can we toast him together?" Everyone raised their glasses and said, "Okay, congratulations to Daring for signing a new endorsement!" Wang Dalin felt embarrassed all over as everyone shouted "darling" one after another. However, he couldn't show off when everyone was toasting to him. He could only pick up his drink and said with a silly smile: "I can't drink yet, so I can only drink with my drink." Thank you for the wine, brothers!" The soul is weak! My name is Dalin, not "Daling"! Are all Americans so gay? You call a grown man "Darling"? And you can still call it so smoothly? Don¡¯t you all call yourself ¡°iron-blooded real men¡±? Aren¡¯t you ashamed of doing this? ¡­¡­ The happy time is always so short. Just after everyone had a night at the nightclub, Riley once again performed the "devil training" the next day, which made the Heat players complain incessantly, and House was so tired that he almost vomited yellow water. On the evening of May 5, the Heat players arrived in Milwaukee by plane, one day earlier than originally planned to adapt to the venue. The "Bradley Center", the home arena of the Bucks, covers an area of ??more than 51,000 square meters and can accommodate 18,600 spectators. The space between each row of seats in the arena is relatively large, and the comfort of the seats is definitely better than that of the Heat's home stadium, the American Airlines Center Arena. And the box is located far away from the stadium, so the lighting effect in the stadium is better. All the facilities in the arena are designed with practicality and comfort as the main design elements. Although the number and luxury are not the best, the usability effects are quite excellent. Unlike the Heat, who have never won a championship, the Bucks have won a championship before, although that was in the 1970-1971 season. At that time, the Bucks had the best center in the league, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Oscar Robertson, the first player in history to average a triple-double in a season. This was an all-star combination inside and outside. It's really powerful. However, as time goes by and times change, the Bucks no longer have the courage they once had. Starting from the 1991-1992 season, they failed to make the playoffs for seven consecutive seasons. It was not until the past two years that Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson and Sam Cassell gradually formed the "Big Three" that the Bucks re-emerged as a strong team in the Eastern Conference. On the evening of May 7, the G1 game between the Bucks and the Heat began, and Wang Dalin was placed in the starting lineup again. As his performance gets better and more consistent, Riley has basically defined him as the team's starter. With the audience booing, Wang Dalin stepped onto the court. He was ready to face the second round of the playoffs for the first time in his career. However, the script this time was not what he originally imagined, because he knew that in this game he must first transform into the "Iron God" before he could really kill everyone. He has made a very perfect plan for this game. I can¡¯t say 100%, but he is at least 80% sure that Riley will not substitute him early (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 79 Iron God is online (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The starting lineup of the Bucks is point guard Sam Cassell, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Glenn Robinson, power forward Tim Thomas, and center Scott Williams. Wang Dalin serves as the starting power forward, facing Thomas. Thomas is 208cm tall and weighs 104kg. He was born in February 1977. He is only 23 years old and is about to enter the peak of his career. His height, wingspan and movement speed will not disadvantage him against Wang Dalin, and his physical strength is slightly better than Wang Dalin. And he is different from most inside players in this era. His long-range shooting ability is quite good. In the regular season this season, he averaged 1.4 three-pointers per game in 3.4 attempts, and his three-point shooting percentage even reached 41.2%. He is second only to Ray Allen in terms of production and shooting percentage for the Bucks. This season, he averaged 12.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in the regular season. If it weren't for the fact that his short-range and mid-range shooting percentages weren't a bit stretched, he would definitely have more than just such an offensive performance. Look at his shot selection - 10.9% of his short-range two-point shots, 17.3% of his mid-range two-point shots, and 12.4% of his long-range two-point shots, which together account for 40.6%. And his shooting percentage in this part of the field is only 35%, which is not as high as his three-point shooting percentage. Speaking of which, it's still the fault of this era. If head coach George Karl can let Thomas divide the shots into half of the three-pointers, with his three-point shooting rate of over 40%, wouldn't he be a "replica" of Karl Lagerfeld? Shad Lewis? Wang Dalin likes to shoot from mid-range because he can shoot accurately. If it weren't for the fact that his three-point shooting percentage was "only" 36.1%, how could his overall shooting percentage be only 47.8%? If you only look at close two-pointers, mid-range two-pointers and long-range two-pointers, his shooting rate is over 53%. ??Besides, in this era, a 47.8% shooting percentage is not low. This season, Karl Malone's shooting percentage is only 49.8%. He only made 5 three-pointers throughout the season. In fact, it is not very appropriate to compare Wang Dalin to traditional inside players like Malone. After all, he has been active in mid-to-long distance most of the season and rarely goes to the basket to attack. Anyone who is an individual knows the truth that "the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score a goal", so if you want to compare Wang Dalin's shooting percentage horizontally, you should compare it with most small forwards in the league. As the best small forward in the 1990s, Scottie Pippen¡¯s career field goal percentage was only 47.3%, which is already very impressive in this era! So don¡¯t think that Kobe¡¯s career shooting percentage of 44.7% is very solid. If he only entered the NBA in 2010, his shooting percentage would probably be close to 50%. The defensive strength of NBA teams has been declining year by year since 2010. Before that, it was undoubtedly much more difficult for super scorers to score in games. That¡¯s why there are so many keyboard warriors on the Internet saying that if Jordan was born in the small ball era, he could average 40 or 50 points per game Although it is too exaggerated, there is some truth to this statement! Don¡¯t think that Jordan¡¯s three-point ability is too poor to survive in the small ball era. He has almost the best basketball talent in history, so how could he not be able to practice three-pointers? It¡¯s just because the basketball concepts of his era were different! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? At the beginning of the game, Williams beat Grant with a jump ball, and the Bucks got the ball for the first attack. After Cassell dribbled the ball through half court, he quickly passed the ball to Robinson - the team's first offense usually has to be handed over to the boss, and the "big dog" is the current Bucks team's leader. Boss. As the No. 1 pick in the 1994 draft, his draft position and seniority with the Bucks are higher than the current "Junzi Lei", so he is the boss of the Bucks no matter what. ??Although this guy forced the Bucks to sign a 10-year, $68 million rookie contract with him before the start of his rookie season, he is unprecedented and unprecedented, and he is indeed a relatively inferior character. But this does not mean that his strength is not good. On the contrary, he is very strong. Otherwise, the Bucks would not have signed such an outrageous rookie contract with him. Because of this, the NBA has introduced a series of regulations on rookie contracts. Since then, first-round picks can only sign a maximum of four-year contracts each year, and the contract amount has also been strictly restricted. ???????????????????????????????"Big Dog" averaged 21.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists in his rookie season. He is also one of the representatives who reached the peak of his debut. But this guy has a very disapproving attitude toward basketball.??, he has never trained hard, so his data since his debut has been similar to that of his rookie season. In fact, from this aspect, it can better reflect this guy¡¯s abnormal talent! A person who never trains hard can still perform at an All-Star level. What is this but talent? If Kobe didn¡¯t train hard, he would have been selected to the All-Star team in his career! Robinson held the ball outside the three-point line and made a three-threat move. Bowen, who was guarding him, retreated a little. In fact, there is no problem with his defensive position. Robinson's three-point shooting percentage this season is less than 30%. Bowen's defensive strategy is obviously to focus on shooting and not on sudden attacks. Once Robinson breaks into the three-second zone, his finishing rate at the basket is as high as 75%. With the help of Grant and Wang Dalin, it will definitely be difficult. Robinson observed Bowen¡¯s defensive position and directly pulled up and shot "Whoops!" This three-pointer was scored cleanly, without even touching the rim. Robinson¡¯s three-pointers this season are solid, but for a star of his caliber, who can know how his shot will feel? Bowen¡¯s defensive strength is definitely among the best in the league, but when the opponent¡¯s star feels hot, he basically has nothing to do. Besides, this was only the first ball. Bowen judged that this ball was somewhat lucky, and it did not necessarily mean that Robinson's touch was explosive tonight. McGrady¡¯s three-point shooting percentage in the 2004-2005 season was only 32.6%, but in the game against the Spurs on December 9, 2004, he performed a feat of 13 points in 35 seconds. In those 35 seconds, McGrady made 4 of 4 three-pointers, and one of them was still "3+1". Isn't that luck? So this defensive failure did not cause any psychological fluctuations in Bowen. He just ran towards the frontcourt expressionlessly. Hardaway was also expressionless, dribbling to the frontcourt and passing the ball to Wang Dalin who was positioned at the top of the three-point arc. After Wang Dalin caught the ball and turned around, he saw that Thomas hadn't had time to get up to the high post to defend him, so he pulled it up and hit a three-pointer "Whoops!" "It's cool!" Wang Dalin smiled secretly in his heart, "That's right, if you want to make iron, you must be the first to do it. This is the correct way to start today's plan!" Looking back, the Bucks continued to let Robinson play Bowen in isolation. Bowen still didn't close up on this shot, and Robinson shot again This shot was a hit. It was the Heat's turn to attack. After Hardaway dribbled the ball past half court, he motioned to Wang Dalin to pick him up in a high position. Wang Dalin honestly went over to help him block Cassel. Hardaway used Wang Dalin's screen to get inside and missed the shot. Grant grabbed the rebound and missed the second attack again. Wang Dalin quickly rushed into the three-second zone to grab the offensive rebound, and then forced his shot "Snapped!" Williams blocked the ball like a volleyball smash and sent the ball directly out of the sideline. "Roar¡­¡­" ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the game. The audience at the scene was suddenly like a powder keg being ignited, and they all cheered and screamed. Wang Dalin looked very depressed on the surface, but in his heart he couldn't help but start laughing ¡°You think I¡¯ll be embarrassed if I¡¯m covered up? ¡­Well, it¡¯s really shameless! However, after I vote 16 times let¡¯s see who loses face? The shot just now was the beginning of my "Iron God coming online" (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 80 I really just want to hit the iron (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! (The title of this chapter pays homage to Shui Danqiao, the master of our basketball literature. First of all, let me explain that Lao Wang is really not just to gain popularity!) The game continued, and it was the Heat's turn to serve the sideline ball. Perhaps affected by the boos from the home fans, Jones' sideline ball was almost intercepted by Cassel. Fortunately, Hardaway caught it quickly with his quick eyes and hands. Hardaway dribbled the ball to reorganize. Grant gave him a pick-and-roll and then passed down. However, Williams' defense was very tight. Hardaway did not pass the ball, but dribbled to the basket himself. Cassel followed closely, Hardaway had no advantage in speed, but Wang Dalin helped him block again, and this time the breakthrough finally entered the basket. Facing the double attack of Williams and Thomas under the basket, Hardaway "looked back at the moon" and sent a wonderful pass. Wang Dalin caught the ball and shot "Dang", it's iron again! ??????????????????????This ball is basically an open shot, less than three meters away from the basket, but Wang Dalin actually missed it. His close range shot of 66 is not very low. Logically speaking, he should score at least seven or eight of these open shots out of ten, but sometimes things are so outrageous He really didn't mean not to score! If you don't score the first three-pointer, it's normal. After all, no one can guarantee that you can make the first three-pointer on the court. But failure to score this kind of ball will undoubtedly make Riley very unhappy How can Wang Dalin hope to accumulate the number of strikes on this kind of ball? Robinson grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a fast break. Ray Allen ran very fast and had already passed halftime. Only Bowen on the Heat's side retreated in time. Robinson made a long pass, and "Junzi Lei" caught the ball and went straight to the basket. Bowen had no choice but to foul. Everyone knows the accuracy of "Junzi Lei"'s free throws. He made two solid free throws and the Bucks led 5:3. Looking back, the Heat's Wang Dalin received the ball again from outside the three-point line. This time he broke through Grant's pick-and-roll and rushed to the basket to face Williams' defense. The two sides had a fierce physical collision in the air. Wang Dalin missed his shot after the confrontation, but it caused a foul on Williams's thug. "Good job! Just fight like this!" Riley just saw that Wang Dalin didn¡¯t make any open shots, and he must have been in a bad mood. But when he saw him so "heroically" killing the inside and causing the opponent to foul, his mood immediately turned from gloomy to bright. Since Riley coached the Heat, he has injected a tough soul into this team. Not only must it be tough on defense, but it should also be tough on offense. Why else would he like Mourning so much? Do you really think he is just covetous of Mourning¡¯s beautiful muscles? Isn¡¯t it because Mourning has always been known for being ¡°iron-blooded¡± and ¡°tough¡±? In the past, Wang Dalin's style of play had always favored the outside. Although he admired the rookie's potential, deep down in his heart, he always disliked this "soft egg" style of play Yes, during this period, NBA players Most coaches don't like the idea of ??post players drifting outside and shooting. So even though the "veteran driver" averaged 21.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game this season, everyone's general evaluation of him is still - "softie"! Seeing that Wang Dalin had been "soft" for a whole season and suddenly became "hard" in this game, Riley couldn't help but show a fatherly smile. ????????? Son, you finally learned to play the ball the right way! come on! Awesome! But how did he know that these were all part of Wang Dalin's plan It is necessary to complete the iron -to -iron task, but you can't be replaced by the coach in advance because of too much iron. Thinking about it, Wang Dalin only thought of this method -that is, he has a strong attack on the inside! Since his inside attack is relatively poor anyway, isn¡¯t it normal that he can¡¯t score? But even if you can¡¯t score, you at least have a chance to draw a foul, right? Free throwsare not included in the 16 shots taken in the system task! ??????????????????????????????????????????? If it was just a simple missed attack that failed to cause a foul, with Riley's character he would probably not object to him playing like this. How many times have Grant and Mason played like this this season? What did Riley say? Isn¡¯t that the sentence ¡°Well done, just do it and kick their butts¡­¡±? ¡­¡­ Wang Dalin¡¯s free throws were still very accurate. These two free throws were made steadily and the score was tied. ? ?When the Bucks attacked, this time Ray Allen finally had a chance outside the three-point line, and the ball hit the target - 8:5, the Bucks once again led by 3 points. Looking back, Hardaway handed Wang Dalin another hand. After receiving the ball, the guy used Hardaway's screen to once again rush to the basket like a bag of explosives and hit a throw from Williams. . "Dang!" For the first time, Wang Dalin felt that the sound of blacksmithing was so pleasant. Hardaway didn¡¯t notice anything was wrong. After all, from the beginning of the game until now, all 5 points on the Heat¡¯s side were scored by Wang Dalin. Although the shooting percentage is a bit high, you can score 5 points on 1 of 4 shots This offensive efficiency is not low, right? As an excellent point guard, Hardaway has never forgotten the key point of "getting assists", which is to pass the ball to whoever has the best touch. Wang Dalin¡¯s ¡°offensive desire¡± is so strong today and his ¡°offensive efficiency¡± is also good. Isn¡¯t it reasonable to pass it to him? ¡°Besides, I signed a sneaker endorsement deal and gave me a Whitney Houston record! How can such a good little brother not be "lovable"? ¡­¡­ The situation on the court was like lightning. Williams collected the rebound and immediately passed it to Cassell. "e.t" dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and broke through to the basket before the Heat's defense was fully positioned. This time Cassel used his speed to the extreme. Even though Hardaway tried his best to catch up, he could only follow him and take the wind. "boom!" "Beep!" I saw Wang Dalin sliding far away on the floor after falling to the ground, and Cassel also fell on the free throw line. The referee saw the ball clearly and called Cassel an offensive foulWang Dalin blocked his path in advance, and the movements under his feet were very clean and did not move at all. "Great job!" Riley stood up excitedly, waved his arms and shouted loudly. Spoelstra also said at the side: "Pat, it seems that Wang is very excited to play today?" Riley smiled and said: "Are you excited? This kid must have just signed a sneaker endorsement and he is very happy, right? He played well on both offense and defense today. Do you think I should give him more playing time?" Spoelstra smiled and said: "Pat, you know I have always been very optimistic about this young man, so what can I say? Of course you should give him more playing time!" Riley laughed loudly and said: "Speaking of which, I should really thank you. If it wasn't your strong recommendation in the first place, how could I have signed this kid?" Spoelstra smiled and said: "No, it has to be said that you have a good eye for pearls, otherwise it will be useless no matter how much I recommend!" If you want to stay on the court as much as possible and accumulate strikes, how can you only work hard on the offensive end? The performance on the defensive end is equally important! Who doesn¡¯t like players who are active on defense? Even if he plays a lot of irons, as long as he is actively defending on the court, how can Riley easily replace him? Why is Bowen able to average about 25 minutes per game this season? Isn¡¯t it because this guy is always working hard on defense on the court? ¡­¡­ Riley and Spoelstra boasted to each other, and the Heat launched a new round of offense. This time Wang Dalin gave Hardaway a pick-and-roll and bounced out. After receiving the ball, he ignored Thomas's eye-sealing defense and made a fadeaway mid-range shot "Whoops!" The ball went in! Wang Dalin: "" Damn it! Can this goal be scored? I was so raised that I almost reached my waist, okay? With this kind of forced shot, if you ask me to make ten more shots, I probably won¡¯t be able to score one! ???????? This ball I really planned to hit it? How good is it to shoot 1 out of 5? Why give me a 2-for-5 shot? Isn¡¯t this exactly a 40% hit rate? ¡­I really just want to hit the iron! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 81 Let the Bucks catch up a little bit (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The game continued. Wang Dalin, who scored 7 points and 1 rebound on 2 of 5 shots, undoubtedly became the most handsome guy on the Heat team. Think about it, if a player can score 7 points in each quarter, he will have 28 points in four quarters. In this era, he is a super scorer! ??Apart from Iverson, Stackhouse, O'Neal and Kobe, who else can average more than 28 points per game this season? And if you shoot 2 of 5 in each quarter and score 28 points on 8 of 20 shots in the game, this efficiency seems quite high, right? Of course, Wang Dalin¡¯s goal is definitely not this. He is only allowed to make 6 shots at most in his first 16 shots. If he makes 1 more shot, his hit rate will exceed 40%. Now he has scored 2 goals, which means that he will have to hit the iron at least 7 times in the next 11 shots. ¡°Hmm¡­this goal is so difficult! (Kobe: How difficult is this? If there is no difficulty, just create it yourself?) In the second quarter of the first quarter, Wang Dalin only took one shot. Of course, the ball must have been made from iron. The game is played by five people. You have finished the game by yourself, so why do you let your teammates do it on the court? Wang Dalin, who knows Riley¡¯s temperament well, knows that if he wants to play more time on the court and Riley can send him on the court again according to the original game plan after being replaced, he must perform this scene well. This is very simple for him. Isn¡¯t it just passing more passes to his teammates? Didn't he play like this in previous games this season? In this way, Wang Dalin played for about 7 minutes in the first quarter and scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists on 2 of 6 shots. He "performed" the inherent impression he has left on everyone, which is comprehensive! At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks led by 1 point at 24:23, and the two sides were evenly matched. Wang Dalin was replaced at the beginning of the second quarter and partnered with Mourning in the paint. With the boss on the court, Wang Dalin certainly didn't dare to steal the spotlight. Most of the Heat's offenses were Mourning's strong attacks in the interior. But he still took the chance and made two shotsof course he didn't make any. ¡°These two shots were taken under the interference of the opponent, so it is normal to miss the shot Anyway, Wang Dalin did not miss the shot intentionally. After Mourning came off the field, Wang Dalin and Hardaway each gave Jones an assist. Although Jones has a dull personality, so his presence in the Heat is not high, but he is also the scoring leader of this team. As long as his touch is not too strong, how can we not let him play a few games? After Jones felt relieved, Wang Dalin began to throw away his arms again. As Wang Dalin continued to play singles with the ball, the Bucks also shifted their defensive focus to him. Thomas would often press closely as soon as he got the ball, not daring to give him an easy shot. Of course Wang Dalin is happy. If you don¡¯t defend me diligently, how can I ¡°naturally¡± fail to score those goals? So¡­ let¡¯s defend more fiercely! ???????????????????????????????? I am the spokesperson of ¡°Mamba Mentality¡± today. If I take a ball in the open today, I will be worthy of my reputation! So Wang Dalin forced his way into the opponent's basket again and again and reluctantly took a shot. He actually scored 1 out of 5 attacks and only made 1 layup. The main reason was that his forced breakthrough caused three fouls by the opponent. Naturally, these shots cannot be counted in the number of shots. Three fouls equal 6 free throws. Wang Dalin made 4 of 6 free throws, plus 2 of 2 free throws in the first quarter. He scored 6 points in the first half just from free throws. At the end of the first half, Wang Dalin made 3 of 10 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 1 steal, filling his own data column. In fact, scoring 14 points on 3 of 10 shots is nothing. The "bearded second generation" in later generations even performed the miracle of scoring 27 points on 2 of 9 shots! What kind of amazing offensive efficiency is this? I don¡¯t even dare to write a certain novel like this! "At least Lao Wang wouldn't dare, otherwise there will definitely be readers who will criticize Lao Wang until he is so embarrassed and angry that they would like to hang themselves from the rafters to thank the world. ¡­¡­ Although the shooting percentage was only 30%, Wang Dalin played very actively in the first half and his performance was quite comprehensive. Riley's handsome face that looked like Michael Douglas was also full of smiles. ¡° He only wanted to hit the iron, but unexpectedly he achieved a good offensive efficiency. Wang Dalin himself thought this was really amazing. But this is his plan??, first of all, you must show very strong hard work, secondly, when the team's main scorer is on the court, pass a few passes to them appropriately, and also, you must not shrink back when you have the opportunity to grab rebounds. As for blocks and steals, having such defensive data is certainly the icing on the cake, but not having them is no big deal. Anyway, in the first half of this game, he not only completed the scheduled number of strikes, but also gained Riley's favorability. It can be said that he executed his plan very successfully. There are only 3 of 6 shots left in the second half. Isn¡¯t this simple? 3 out of 10 shots is called a stretch, but 3 out of 6 shots is "high efficiency"! During the halftime break, Mourning patted Wang Dalin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Wang, you played well today. You have to keep up the good work in the second half. We are not far ahead!" Wang Dalin nodded very obediently and said: "No problem!" It¡¯s nonsense, can¡¯t you keep trying? Up to now, Wang Dalin has not only wanted to get the "buff" of 100% hits after 16 shots, but more importantly, he wants to leave a legend that can be passed down for a long time for his first playoffs. Prior to this, the highest single-game score by a first-year rookie in the NBA playoffs was 42 points, which was scored by "Magic" Johnson in Game 6 of the 1979-1980 Finals. (There is no need to mention Dashuai Zhang¡¯s data from that ancient period, it is completely meaningless!) Wang Dalin felt that if he added a 100% hit buff (actually a bug), he might be able to challenge this record. 42 points in a single game, is it very high? Of course, he also wants to get the 5 points as a reward. After all, no matter how good a game is, it only leaves something to talk about for the fans. A true superstar does not only perform amazingly in one game. If a player's performance in only one game in his entire career can be remembered by fans, then he can only be considered a good player at best. Just like Tracy McGrady, "God was so moved by him that he cried", is that the only time in his life that he has 35 seconds and 13 minutes? If this was all he had, how could he be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame after retirement? Therefore, if Wang Dalin wants to become a real superstar, the only way is to improve his own strength, and the rest is just a cloud! The halftime break ended quickly and the game continued in the second half. Wang Dalin made a shot from beyond the three-point line as soon as he came up. On this shot, Thomas was tricked into taking a step back by his fake breakthrough, but he pulled it up and shot. Facts have proved that even if the player you are facing belongs to the "defensive hero" level, when you break through several times in a row and cause damage, he will unconsciously turn his defensive attention to your breakthrough. At this time, you suddenly attack Throwing a cold arrow often works very well. Wang Dalin was also very excited after making the three-pointer. On the defensive end, he and Mourning blocked Robinson's layup, and then quickly rushed to the frontcourt and made a violent dunk in the fast break Well, maybe it doesn't count. Much violence. At the end of the first half, the Bucks were only 3 points behind 52:55. Wang Dalin's wave suddenly opened the point difference to 8 points. Head coach George Karl saw that the situation was not good and quickly called a timeout. What a good guy! Fortunately, the point difference is only 8 points now. If there is another ball, wouldn't the point difference be double digits? In this era where the entire league emphasizes defense, and with the intensity of defense in the playoffs, a double-digit point difference is not easy to chase. In fact, Karl is a little too worried. How could Wang Dalin be willing for the Heat to take a big lead at this time? He hasn¡¯t thrown enough 16 balls yet, and he¡¯s still short of 3 strikes! If the game enters garbage time early, even if he gets the "buff" with 100% hit, how will he have the chance to perform? So¡­let¡¯s let the Bucks catch up a little bit! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 82 100% Hit BUFF (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After the timeout, the Bucks played more resolutely offensively, and their defensive intensity also increased to a higher level. First, Ray Allen hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and then Robinson hit consecutive shots from the mid-range. On the Heat¡¯s side, Jones and Hardaway¡¯s shots didn¡¯t go in. Wang Dalin took the ball and hit the inside, but was blocked by Thomas Haha, are you so happy? At the beginning of the second half, Wang Dalin scored 5 points on 2-for-2 shooting. As a result, after the timeout, the Bucks evened out the 8-point difference in just over two minutes. Riley¡¯s face looked a little ugly. He decisively called a timeout and replaced Mourning, replacing Bowen who was ¡°doing nothing¡± on the court. Bowen has been sparing no effort to defend on the court. Just because he has no data, Riley feels that he is doing nothing on the court, which is really unfair to him. Sometimes this is the case. Even a wise head coach like Riley will occasionally make such low-level mistakes of "data only theory". For example, Marcus Camby, the second pick of the "96 Golden Generation", has ranked first in the single-season blocks list 4 times. Because of his "excellent performance" in the field of blocking shots, he was selected to the best defensive team of the season five times and also won the best defensive player award in the 2006-2007 season. But all coaches who are really knowledgeable know that this guy is just a "data brush". His defensive efficiency is actually not high, just because he blocks a lot of shots, so people generally think that he is a master of interior defense. This is just like Iverson ranking first in the steals list for three consecutive seasons. Can you say that Iverson is a strong defender on the outside? After Mourning came up, he naturally played center, and Grant moved to the power forward position, so Wang Dalin took advantage of the situation and moved to the small forward position. Facing directly against Glenn Robinson, Wang Dalin felt that the pressure on the offensive end was suddenly reduced a lot Well, this is not a good sign! "Big Dog's" offense is naturally top-notch in the league, but his defense is not even second-rate. It is well known that this talented No. 1 overall pick has a poor character. As early as the 1994 draft, he asked the Bucks for a sky-high price. Initially, he hoped to sign a 13-year, $100 million contract with the Bucks. How would the Bucks agree? How high could an NBA star¡¯s annual salary be in 1994? At that time, the Bulls¡¯ second-in-command Scottie Pippen¡¯s annual salary was only US$4 million, and the ¡°great Michael Jordan¡±¡¯s annual salary was only US$5 million. Therefore, Robinson¡¯s arrogance was criticized by many NBA stars. After many negotiations, the Bucks finally gave him a 10-year contract worth $68 million, which was already a sky-high price at the time. Jason Kidd, who entered the NBA in the same year as Robinson, signed a nine-year, $54 million contract with the Mavericks, which was higher than Jordan's annual salary. Later, the NBA developed rapidly, and many stars in the league signed big contracts, some with annual salaries as high as tens of millions of dollars. At this time, Robinson's $6.8 million a year was not so conspicuous. ¡°This guy saw that other people¡¯s income exceeded him, and he became mentally unbalanced. He approached the Bucks front office and wanted to re-sign a contract with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars. Who would pay attention to such an unreasonable request? ??Besides, Ray Allen's performance in the Bucks is getting better and better. Last year he was selected into the "Dream Team" to compete in the Sydney Olympics. This year he was selected into the All-Star lineup. He is definitely a future superstar. On the other hand, Robinson never takes his training seriously and relies entirely on his talent to play. Although the offensive firepower is still fierce, there has been no improvement since his rookie season. As long as the Bucks' uniform and coaching staff don't have water in their heads, how can they choose to support this "big dog" and give up the "gentleman thunder"? Facing Robinson¡¯s defense, Wang Dalin broke into the three-second zone without being strongly defended. ¡°Fortunately¡± Thomas came over in time to provide enough interference, otherwise Wang Dalin would probably have dunked the ball. "Dang!" Hearing the sound of iron striking, Wang Dalin lowered his head and revealed a subtle smile. Looking back, Robinson seemed to want to brush off his senior¡¯s sense of superiority on Wang Dalin, a rookie, so he held the ball and forcibly broke through Wang Dalin¡¯s defense. There is no way, this guy's instant start speed is really awesome, Wang Dalin 66's lateral movement speed is completely inadequate compared to him. Robinson got to the basket and performed a violent two-handed dunk. This ball was blocked by Mourning behind Williams.He didn't have time to go up to defend himself, so he had no choice but to shake his head. It was the Heat's turn to attack. Wang Dalin ran to the right side of the three-point line and asked for the ball. Hardaway quickly ran over and passed him a hand-to-hand pass. He also gestured for everyone to move away to let Wang Dalin. Singles to Robinson. So far, Wang Dalin has taken 13 shots and hit 5 goals. Although his shooting rate is a bit low, he has scored 19 points including free throws, and his offensive efficiency is not bad. So when he saw him actively asking for the ball and wanting to hit Robinson with an "answer-ball," Hardaway fed him the ball almost without hesitation. Wang Dalin dribbled the ball twice and then suddenly collected the ball and made a fake shot. Robinson came directly over. Wang Dalin raised his hand again after he got close to him. Robinson quickly reached out to cover his face. Wang Dalin secretly rejoiced: "Great, that's it!" Then he pulled up and forced a fadeaway shot. This fadeaway shot from beyond the three-point line was extremely difficult, so it was no surprise that it was a hit. The basketball hit the neck of the basket and jumped so high that it went directly over the backboard and out of the baseline. Seeing the trace of unwillingness on Wang Dalin's face, Hardaway came over and patted his butt and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this kind of ball, you will definitely make it next time!" Wang Dalin pretended to be unwilling on the surface, but he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: "Next time? I'm afraid I won't be able to make the shot either!" Currently, he is 2 shots short of 16 shots. According to the requirement of shooting rate below 40%, he can still score 1 goal. To be on the safe side, he thought he would strike first next time and make a serious shot at the last chance. ??????????????????????????? If the next ball is scored, and the last ball is also scored then all the previous efforts will be wasted! Under this rule that does not allow intentional misses, every shot he takes must be carefully planned. If he wants to miss, he must deliberately shoot against the defense. If it is an open position or an opportunity where the defense is not so tight, what if it goes in? Robinson "defended" Wang Dalin's shot this time, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. He waved his arms to the audience, obviously wanting applause and screams! In the words of Teacher Yu Qian "Do you still want to show off your face?" The Bucks launched a new round of offense with a baseline kick. Cassel had not played many singles games with the ball in this game. This time, he dribbled behind Hardaway and pushed towards the three-second zone. Hardaway was not as tall and strong as him, so he was pushed back repeatedly. Cassel pushed him away and then turned around and shot a slightly backward mid-range shot. The ball was there. In this era, there are several NBA point guards who are very good at back-up play, such as Andre Miller, who looks exactly like Karen Mok, and the "first generation bearded man" Baron Davis, etc., but among them, these The one with the best technology is Kassel. Looking back, Hardaway wanted to hit him back, but Cassel's defense was impeccable. Seeing that the attack time was about to run out, Hardaway "passed the blame" to Wang Dalin in desperation. Wang Dalin could only take action immediately after receiving the ball, otherwise he would be called off for 24 seconds The ball did not go in! Mourning struggled to grab the offensive rebound, then turned around and passed the ball back to Wang Dalin. Thomas hurriedly came over to cover the defense, but Wang Dalin had already jumped high and shot. The ball went through a wonderful arc and went into the basket. At the same time he made this shot, the system task completion prompt in his mind had already sounded: "Ding! The host has completed the temporary task of 'Maddie's Obsession', and the next shots in this game will be 100% successful!" " "Haha!" Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, "I have been waiting for nearly three quarters of the game, and finally waited for this moment" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 83 The basket is like the sea (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The third quarter has lasted 6 minutes and 38 seconds, and the current score is 67:62. The Bucks are temporarily leading the Heat by 5 points. The Bucks' offense has been going smoothly since the timeout at the beginning of the third quarter, but the Heat's offense is obviously not going smoothly. In addition, Wang Dalin, an "undercover", is making small moves in the dark, so the Bucks once The score difference widened to 7 points. However, Wang Dalin succeeded in his second attack after receiving a pass from Mourning, chasing the point difference to 5 points. If things continue like this, the two sides will definitely fight fiercely in the second half of the game. However, Wang Dalin is "buffed" at this moment, so this possibility no longer exists. The Bucks attacked, and Robinson once again broke through Wang Dalin and entered the three-second zone. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? He hit Mourning¡¯s defense and switched hands for a layup in the air, and also caused a foul on Mourning¡¯s thug. He is indeed one of the most offensive small forwards in this era. This goal is one of those "magic goals." If you can't imagine how he did it, you might as well look at the top 50 career goals of Jordan or Kobe. Scoring this goal will definitely be selected as one of the five best goals of the week. Robinson roared to the sky with excitement, and the fans at the scene also burst into amazing cheers and screams. Mourning was a little depressed. He grabbed the ball and hit the floor hard. As a result, the referee blew a T, which made him even more depressed. Seeing Mourning hurriedly trying to argue with the referee, Wang Dalin and Hardaway hurriedly hugged him It's okay if he doesn't argue, but if he needs to argue again, the referee can probably eject him directly. Wang Dalin smiled secretly in his heart: "Mourning, you are also a veteran who has been in the NBA for many years. Shouldn't you first check whose home court this is? In this case, go to the referee to make sure he gives you another T. I Even a rookie knows that!¡± ??Who among the players who play in the NBA has not encountered the home whistle several times? Robinson made a steady hit and added free throws, and the point difference immediately opened to 8 points, which was wider than before. Looking back, it was the Heat's turn to attack. This time Hardaway lobbed the ball to Wang Dalin on the left wing. Wang Dalin made a fake move after catching the ball, and Robinson immediately followed him He was not afraid of Wang Dalin's breakthrough, but was quite afraid of his shooting. However, Wang Dalin really wanted to make a breakthrough with this shot, so he lowered his center of gravity and pushed directly into the three-second zone. Robinson¡¯s lateral movement was very fast, blocking his path. Wang Dalin saw that there was no chance, sohe pulled it up and shot! Robinson:¡­ ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Surprised or not? "Whoops!" After the ball passed through the basket, a beautiful splash appeared on the white net. Seeing Wang Dalin smacking Robinson in the face, Riley and Spoelstra jumped up with excitement, as happy as children. Stan Van Gundy on the side is still sitting on the chair as steady as a mountain Maybe this guy is too fat and he is as "steady" as a mountain in the first place, right? Looking back, the Bucks' Ray Allen and Cassell played a pick-and-roll, and then "Gentleman Ray" received a wonderful pass and went to the basket with a one-handed dunk. When he was young, "Junzi Lei" had very strong jumping ability, but it was not just as simple as making accurate three-pointers. He often performed dunks in games. Hardaway and Jones couldn't help but look a little ugly. This shot was precisely because they failed to defend the pick-and-roll and allowed Ray Allen to slip into the basket. In an era when there were no "three seconds of defense" and "legalized zone defense" rules, pick-and-roll tactics were so awesome, whoever played them would know! When the Heat attacked, Wang Dalin circled around to catch the ball, and thenhe shot again! This three-pointer was quite far away. He was nearly two meters away from the three-point line when he took off, but he still scored. "Nice shot!" Riley stood up again, waved his arms and cheered loudly, completely forgetting that he actually didn't like players to shoot three-pointers and these were super long three-pointers! In the next attack of the Bucks, Williams attacked under the basket and was rewarded with a big block by Mourning. Wang Dalin did not pass the ball after grabbing the second spot, and dribbled to the frontcourt himself. Thenhe voted again! "Whoops!" This three-pointer is further away than the one just now, so when Robinson returned from defense, how could he have thought that he would dare to take a shot from this position? ¡°I guess Robinson¡¯s heart is as disgusting as a beeping dog at this moment In fact, think about it, Stephen Curry started to play a lot in games since 2015.With a super long three-pointer, the players who were defending him at that time were probably as devastated as Robinson was at this moment, right? Therefore, the most perverted person in "Kuroko's Basketball" is not the protagonist Kuroko Tetsuya, nor Kagami Taiga, Aomine Daiki or Akashi Seijuro, but the "bad guy" Midorima Shintaro. "Elementary schoolboys" can only shoot from no blind spots in half the court, but Midorima can shoot from no blind spots in the entire court, and as long as no one is guarding him, his shooting percentage is 100%! ??????????? What is this if it¡¯s not ¡°hanging up¡±? It has to be said that the YY abilities of the islanders are really awesome. They actually dared to make this completely anti-human operation into an anime with great fanfare! No one in a certain novel would dare to write like this! "Lao Wang dares to bet with his handsome face. Whoever dares to write this will be guaranteed to lose his money and can't even afford his underwear!" Do you really think that all readers are mentally retarded? However currently, with the blessing of the system's "buff", Wang Dalin really has this kind of "cheating" ability temporarily. Throwing in the backcourt is obviously too exaggerated, and he doesn't dare to bet on whether the backcourt shot counts as a "100% hit" as mentioned by the system. After all, people still have their limits, and the system will probably not exaggerate. To this point. For example, if he throws it directly from the backcourt, but if the direction of his throw is obviously in the wrong direction, is it possible that the system can also "change the trajectory" of the ball flying in the air? Doesn¡¯t this violate the basic principles of physics? And with Wang Dalin's shooting ability, if he throws it directly from the backcourt, more than 90% of the balls will definitely deviate from the "trajectory"! The last and most important reason isRiley. "You can just shoot a few long three-pointers in the frontcourt, but if you throw a few blindly in the backcourt, Riley will definitely replace you and kill you on the bench even if you can score!" who do you think You Are? It¡¯s still early for the small ball era! ¡­¡­ The point difference is approaching 2 points, and the Bucks' offense is much more cautious. After several passes, Ray Allen and Cassel picked and rolled again, but this time Cassel's layup was successfully interfered by Grant. Mourning picked off the rebound and made a long pass to Wang Dalin, who was already running very fast. After Wang Dalin caught the ball, he changed direction and passed Robinson who came to defend, and thenhe shot again! "Whoops!" The basketball passed through the basket and splashed again, and Karl quickly called a timeout. The Heat went from being 8 points behind to currently leading by 1 point. Wang Dalin scored 4 consecutive goals. In addition to the ball he made in the second attack before, in this 4 minutes and 8 seconds, he has scored 13 points on 5 of 5 shots. . As he unlocked the "buff (bug)" that allowed him to hit 100% of his shots, the basket became as wide as the ocean for him, and no one could stop his shooting. At this moment, even if the best defensive players in NBA history are all recruited to form a team, and they are all in their prime, it will not help. What can you do when facing an opponent who can hit a shot from any position? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 84 Epic performance (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! George Karl didn¡¯t think calling a timeout would be of much use, but he thought it could at least interrupt Wang Dalin¡¯s touch a little, right? But how did he know that Wang Dalin¡¯s feeling at the moment Even if you call timeout ten times, it will be of no use! After the timeout, Robinson and Cassel reached an exquisite cooperation. After receiving the ball, Robinson succeeded in a mid-range shot. Seeing that the score was overtaking the Heat again, Karl breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°But Wang Dalin has already started to go berserk at this moment, how can he give the Bucks a chance to breathe? After receiving the ball in the frontcourt, he completely ignored Thomas' personal defense, pulled up and shot from two meters away from the three-point line. "Whoops!" The goal was scored again! Karl¡¯s fat face couldn¡¯t help but tremble a few times, and he knew that his pause just now was in vain. The opponent¡¯s players were still able to hit the ball despite high-intensity defense. It¡¯s easy to imagine how much such a shot would have a negative impact on a team¡¯s morale. The following three Bucks offenses all ended in blacksmithing. Wang Dalin's hand on the Heat's side felt so hot that it was as hot as red-hot iron. How could Hardaway be willing to pass the ball to others? As soon as he dribbled the ball past half-court, he hurriedly handed the ball to Wang Dalin. Hardaway is indeed the type of point guard who doesn¡¯t pay much attention to statistics, but as for assists Why shouldn¡¯t I get a few more if I can? With Hardaway working hard to feed him the ball, Wang Dalin took it all in, catching the ball, taking off, and shooting. His movements were as smooth and smooth as "Dove" chocolate. In the last 5 minutes and 22 seconds of the third quarter, Wang Dalin made a total of 8 of 8 shots, including 6 three-pointers, and most of these three-pointers were super long three-pointers. Including the 21 points scored in the previous game, Wang Dalin scored 43 points in three quarters, breaking the NBA playoffs rookie single-game scoring record. Wang Dalin continued to play in the fourth quarter. Although he was like a god descending from heaven in the second half of the third quarter, the Bucks also fought hard and showed some performance on the offensive end. Therefore, after the three quarters, the Heat only led by 7 points, and it was obviously not garbage time yet. The fans at the scene made harsh boos one after another. They may hope that this noise can cause some disturbance to Wang Dalin, but in fact not even a hair is of use! Wang Dalin, who had already broken the record, kept up his efforts and hit 5 consecutive three-pointers in the fourth quarter. Among them, the one shot with the logo in the center circle was particularly exaggerated. Karl was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear for a long time. The Bucks only scored one goal in the first five attacks of the fourth quarter, so the point difference has reached 20 points. There are more than 7 minutes left in the game, and everyone knows that the Bucks have lost tonight. Like Carl, Riley was grinning from ear to ear all the time, but he was grinning from ear to ear. The team was already leading by 20 points. Riley replaced all the main players with a wave of his hand. Since it was garbage time, garbage players should be sent on the field Ah, no, they should be bench players! Wang Dalin made 19 of 29 shots from the field, including 13 of 17 three-pointers and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 59 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 block and 1 steal. He not only broke the NBA playoff rookie scoring record, but also broke the playoff record for the number of three-pointers made in a single game. ?? 13 three-pointers let alone the playoffs, even in the regular season no one has made so many in one game? Prior to this, the NBA regular season record for three-pointers in a single game was held by Magic small forward Denis Scott. He made 17 attempts from beyond the three-point line in the game against the Hawks on April 18, 1996. 11 hits were made. The record for three-pointers in a single playoff game is nine. In the Suns' game against the SuperSonics on April 25, 1997, Suns guard Rex Chapman made 9 of 17 three-pointers. 42 points. One more thing to mention, Dan Marley, the Heat's substitute player this season, is also a very famous three-point shooter. He performed extremely well in the battle of Tianwangshan in the Western Conference semifinals on June 1, 1993, making 8 of 10 three-pointers. At that time, he was still the main player of the Suns. Wang Dalin also made it to another list, that is, the single-game scoring list in the playoffs. His 59-point performance in this game ranked second only to Jordan's 63 points in a single game. But Jordan¡¯s famous scene took place during the Bulls¡¯ game against the Celtics on April 20, 1986. It has been more than 15 years ago, which is really too long for fans. Wang Dalin¡¯s 59-point feat has almost as much status in the hearts of fans as Jordan¡¯s. Just like Kobe Bryant¡¯s 81 points in a single game in later generations, although it did not break ZhangAlthough Lon's record of 100 points in a single game was still high, fans almost all believed that Kobe's 81 points were more valuable. Which one is higher between Wang Dalin's 59 points and Jordan's 63 points will definitely arouse heated discussion among fans, and this craze may even continue throughout this year's playoffs. After all Even the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan, even though he has scored more than 50 points in a single game many times throughout his career, he never had such a stunning scoring performance in his rookie season! Wang Dalin knew very well that he was able to perform such an epic performance mainly because of the "buff" of 100% hit. With his true strength let alone scoring 50+ points in a single game, even if he scores 30+ points, it is almost impossible for him to achieve it. If you want to score more than 30 points in a single game, you must meet several conditions: first, you must play enough time, second, your teammates are willing to give you enough shots, third, you must have a good touch, and the last and most critical point is A little bit your body is not strong enough to support so many shots? Even if your hands feel hot on the day of the game, if your stamina is not enough, your shooting percentage will drop if you take more shots. Do you really think that taking more than 20 shots in a game does not consume stamina? With Wang Dalin¡¯s current physical strength of 75, he should be able to maintain normal efficiency by playing 25-28 minutes in a game. He can barely persist if he has to play for more than 30 minutes, but his efficiency will definitely decline. Therefore, although Wang Dalin has already scored more than 30 points in a single game during the regular season this season, and also scored a triple-double of 30+, he also relied on this bug-like "buff" to achieve it that time. "We really want him to score more than 30 points in a single game on his own strength At present, he is still a little behind. But regardless of whether it was because of cheating or not, Wang Dalin stole the show in this game and became the most handsome boy in the "Bradley Center". His explosive performance even convinced the Bucks home fans. When he hit the logo three-pointer in the fourth quarter, the audience was silent and didn't even dare to boo. Bucks fans are obviously more ethical than Knicks fans. They did not send applause or cheers to the visiting team players, but Wang Dalin was proud enough to make them dare not even boo. Of course, the Heat won this game by a big score. After the game, Riley took Wang Dalin to the press conference and couldn't restrain the smile on his face when answering reporters' questions. Although Riley does not like three-pointers or a certain player scoring more than 40 points in a single game, he was really satisfied with Wang Dalin in this game! In fact, Riley is not averse to players scoring high scores. This guy also retired the Heat's No. 23 jersey specifically for Jordan. Jordan has never been in the Heat. What does it mean to retire someone else's jersey? This shows that Riley really loves Jordan! And Jordaneveryone knows that this "old gangster" likes to score high scores! As of May 2001, Jordan has scored more than 40 points in a single game 166 times, and scored 50+ points in a single game 31 times! Otherwise, how could he win the season scoring title 10 times? Although Jordan¡¯s career scoring total is not the first in history, everyone knows that his scoring average is the first in history! Wang Dalin¡¯s sudden score of 50+ in a single game also made everyone see his unlimited potential. Riley is even considering what kind of offer to give Wang Dalin during the offseason (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 85 Riley¡¯s Troubles (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Riley doesn¡¯t like this feeling! Although the Heat won the G1 game with the Bucks by a big score, after Wang Dalin's epic performance, he was tired of the constant hype from all media. If the media just touted Wang Dalin's performance, then some "so-called" basketball experts appeared out of nowhere, and these guys immediately began to analyze Wang Dalin's whereabouts next season. Some said that Wang Dalin would go to the Lakers, another said that he would go to the Kings, and some said that he would go to the 76ers to form a new generation of "Twin Stars" with Iverson Some people said that Wang Dalin would go to every place, but not People predict he will stay with the Heat. This also makes sense. The Heat's player salary this season is as high as 73.47 million U.S. dollars. It is unknown what level it will reach next season. The price of signing Wang Dalin is too high. With the Heat's salary structure, unless Riley is determined to completely tear down and rebuild the team, and build the team with Wang Dalin as the core, there is almost no possibility that they will give him a satisfactory offer. You know, Wang Dalin¡¯s current worth is far more than a basic salary! First of all, Wang Dalin's performance this season has been amazing enough. "Best Rookie" is not a bad award, and he is very likely to win "Best Sixth Man". Based on his performance on the field, he is at least worth a full middle-class salary. Secondly, consider that Wang Dalin is only 19 years old. His future potential can be described as "unlimited"! So even if a team gives him a maximum salary offer, Riley will not be surprised at all. As mentioned before, Wang Dalin will become a completely free agent after the end of this season, which means that all teams can make offers to him, and there will be no restrictions on which team he wants to go to. According to NBA rules, players with 0-6 years of playing experience (basically players who have just finished their rookie contracts) can receive an annual salary of up to 25% of the salary cap, calculated based on this season¡¯s salary cap of $35.5 million. That¡¯s $8.875 million. The salary cap for the 2001-2002 season is US$42.5 million, and 25% is US$10.625 million! The starting salary is US$10.625 million. Based on the 5% annual increase rule, the annual salary in the second year is US$11.156 million, the third year is US$11.714 million, the fourth year is US$12.3 million, and the fifth year is US$12.915 million. If In the sixth year, that's $13.56 million. In other words, Wang Dalin will likely sign a five-year maximum salary contract of US$58.71 million or a six-year US$72.27 million contract during this offseason If a second-year rookie can sign a maximum salary of this amount I dare not say that this situation is "unprecedented", but it is indeed "unprecedented". Even if Glenn Robinson signed a 10-year, $68 million contract in his rookie season, according to the current maximum salary rules, the contract period only needs to reach 6 years, which is already higher than his annual salary. I don¡¯t know what other teams plan to do with Riley, but it¡¯s obviously impossible for the Heat to give Wang Dalin such a high offer I guess it would be good to give him a full mid-level offer! The story of Wang Dalin¡¯s incredible performance continues to unfold, and the G2 game between the Heat and the Bucks has started as scheduled. On the evening of May 9, the "Bradley Center" arena was still full of seats, but when Wang Dalin came on the court to warm up, the noise of the audience in the arena even dropped a notch. While Wang Dalin was shooting to warm up, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: "Are you afraid of being beaten by me? Don't worry, I will still play the role of 'Iron God' for a while before I go on a killing spree tonight!" In this round of the series, Wang Dalin can complete the perverted task of "Maddie's Obsession" in every game. After completing it, he can get the "buff" of 100% hit, so he decided to copy the G1 wartime plan. In fact, this is not easy. After all, whether he makes a shot or not does not entirely depend on his own will. Just like in tonight's game, he hit 3 of his first 5 shots. His touch was so good that he felt a little uncomfortable. Dare to believe. "Damn it!" Wang Dalin couldn't help cursing in his mind, "I forcefully shoot every ball against the defense. Do you want it to be so accurate?" Fortunately, his touch was only good for a moment. From the sixth shot, he started to hit the iron continuously. At the end of the first half, he made a total of 3 of 9 shots, and his shooting rate was a little higher than during the G1 war The Bucks performed significantly better in this game than in the G1 game. After the first half, they led the Heat by 12 points, 57:45. During the intermission, Riley scolded everyone in the locker room. . Wang Dalin was also scolded. Although he played very well in the first half,Extremely, but because it was far from his amazing performance in the second half of the G1 game, Riley couldn't be particularly kind to him. The Heat launched a desperate counterattack in the second half, but their overall touch was very strong. As a result, not only failed to narrow the point difference after the third quarter, but fell even further behind. ? 80:64, the Bucks entered the fourth quarter with a 16-point lead. Head coach George Karl was in a good mood. He felt that this game should be won steadily. But how does he know that in the first three quarters, Wang Dalin has completed the "basic operation" of 6 of 16 shots, and has now transformed into a "failure" again. Is the difference of 16 points big? Is it impossible to make a comeback? Wang Dalin gave the "answer" with his actions Well, he is more suitable for this nickname than Iverson in this game! Wang Dalin only played 7 minutes in the entire fourth quarter Of course, he played a total of 22 minutes in the first three quarters, which is a lot. How many points can be scored in 7 minutes? Maybe Jordan will tell you with a smile that he can score 15 points in 7 minutes; Maybe Kobe will disdainfully say that scoring 15 points in 7 minutes is nothing; Maybe Anthony and Thompson will say that scoring 20 points in 7 minutes is not that difficult However, Wang Dalin has proved through his own practice that the limit of scoring in 7 minutes should be 27 points! Although he has accelerated the pace of the game as much as possible, how can the Bucks, who are leading the score, speed up with the Heat? Since the score is leading by double digits, all fools know that they should slow down the pace of the game and wait until the end of the game to win, right? There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, but the premise isthe opponent does not catch up with the score! Wang Dalin made 9 of 9 three-pointers in the fourth quarter. This strong output of 27 points immediately reversed the situation. At the end of the game, the Heat defeated the Bucks by 12 points Wang Dalin only scored 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in the first three quarters, but after he scored 27 points in the fourth quarter, this number has turned into 41 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. He once again became the most handsome boy in the game! After two consecutive stunning performances, Riley¡¯s feelings towards Wang Dalin have undergone some subtle changes ¡°This kiddo we really want to give him a maximum salary offer in the offseason? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 86 Continued high energy ahead (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Having completed the perverted task of "Maddie's Obsession" for two consecutive games, Wang Dalin gave the ball control the opportunity to add 10 points at will, making this ability value reach the upper limit at this stage. And after adding points this time, his comprehensive ability value finally increased to 82. Since the comprehensive ability value reached 81, he can no longer remember how many more points he added, but the comprehensive ability value has always been "unchanged", still 81. Now that it has finally risen by 1 point, the joy in his heart is simply beyond words. The reason why he needs to increase his ball control ability is mainly because Wang Dalin feels that his offensive methods are still a bit single when he does not have a "buff". In addition to various pull-up jumpers, his main offensive method is the pull-up jump shot after breaking through the pick-and-roll He can do other offensive methods, but the efficiency is not high. If his ability to control the ball improves, he will be able to attack with the ball better. Not only will his breakthrough ability be further improved, but he will also have more offensive options after a breakthrough. With the Heat leading the Bucks 2:0, all parties in the NBA currently believe that the Heat will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, and Wang Dalin also knows that as long as he can continue to fulfill "T-Mac's obsession" in the following games, the Heat will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. There will be no doubt about it. Now that we have reached this point, Wang Dalin is obviously not satisfied if he just shows off his power in the second round of the playoffs. He needs to make some preparations for the Eastern Conference finals. And it seems that the opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals are still the 76ers. This season¡¯s 76ersare No. 1 in the league in both interior and exterior defense! The Heat's Mason's injury has obviously affected the team's strength. Wang Dalin feels that he has an obligation to become stronger, or at least make up for the lack of offensive firepower due to Mason's absence. ¡°Otherwise, with Jones, Grant and Hardaway, what can the Heat do to break through the 76ers¡¯ impregnable defense? Mourning's condition has recovered somewhat, but he is clearly no longer at his peak. It would be ridiculous to expect him to beat "Uncle Mu" in the paint. With Iverson¡¯s sharp breakthrough, Mourning can be knocked off the court without being fouled despite a large number of defenses he can already laugh! As for why Mourning used a lot of defense? Does this need to be said? Could it be that Hardaway¡¯s old arms and legs can still stop the rising ¡°answer¡±? Not to mention that he is now 34 years old, even when he was at his peak, he would definitely not be able to stop him! On May 11, the Heat and Bucks will move to Miami, and the G3 game between the two sides will be held at the Heat's home arena, the American Airlines Center. After returning home, the Heat players were very excited and they showed a very good competitive state. Since each of his teammates performed better than the last, Wang Dalin's "shooting plan" was obviously hindered. He wanted to quickly "save up" the number of strikes so that he could "cheat" again, but his teammates took away too many opportunities to take action. As a result, it took Wang Dalin 28 minutes to complete the "basic operation" of 6 of 16 shots. Although the "cheating" was still successful, the game had already entered garbage time about halfway through the fourth quarter. Seeing that the situation was set, Riley replaced all the main players with a wave of his hand, including of course Wang Dalin, who had just hit consecutive three-pointers. In the end, the Heat defeated the Bucks with a score of 102:91. Wang Dalin made "only 8 of 18 shots" and scored 22 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists Sometimes, "If you're not afraid of opponents who are like gods, you're afraid of teammates who are like pigs." The other way around also makes sense. Just like this game, Wang Dalin felt that "god-like teammates" were more annoying than "pig-like teammates". The G4 game was still being held at the Heat's home court. Wang Dalin finally laughed in this game because his teammates were playing like shit Of course, his 6-for-16 shots in the first three quarters were not much better! Before the start of the fourth quarter, the Heat were already 23 points behind at 66:89. With such a huge point difference it can actually be considered that the game has entered garbage time early. Riley was originally ready to give up, but couldn't bear Wang Dalin's "begging" and kept him on the court. Soon, Riley felt extremely lucky about her decision. Wang Dalin "cheated" again. This time the score difference allowed him to let go of his hands and feet, so he naturally would not be polite to the Bucks. In the fourth quarter, he made all 12 three-pointers, including two successful "four-pointers". He scored 38 points and 3 rebounds in a single quarter. Faced with Wang Dalin, who is so "bad" no matter how he shoots, you can imagine how incredible the Bucks players are.?? 38 points in a single quarter! Wang Dalin ruthlessly broke the single-quarter scoring record in the playoffs again, and improved it by a big margin It was simply terrifying! At the beginning, Karl had replaced all the main players. Not only were the substitutes unable to stop Wang Dalin from shooting from outside the three-point line again and again, their offense also came to a standstill, and all four offenses ended in blacksmithing. By the time Wang Dalin hit four consecutive three-pointers, the Heat had chased the score to 78:89. Although he still held a double-digit point difference, Karl had already sensed that the situation was not good and quickly called a timeout to replace the main players. Riley also responded tit-for-tat and replaced all the main players on the field. Being behind by 23 points with one quarter left is really not worth playing, but being behind by 11 points with more than 7 minutes leftit seems like we can still make a comeback, right? The main players of the Bucks originally thought they had won, and naturally felt completely relaxed. Now that the situation on the court has suddenly changed, they have to go into battle again. As a result, their performance is no different from that of the substitute players, and they will continue to fight when they need to and also couldn't guard Wang Dalin's shots. As long as a human being has seven emotions and six desires, he can still maintain a calm mind after experiencing ups and downs This is not scientific in itself! It¡¯s not that there are no such people, but the Bucks players in this game are obviously not among them So, under Wang Dalin's desperate counterattack, the Heat staged a shocking reversal, successfully came back from being 23 points behind, and finally defeated the Bucks 104:100 with difficulty. Wang Dalin¡¯s 38 points in the fourth quarter plus 14 points in the first three quarters resulted in a total of 52 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. In this series against the Bucks, he averaged 43.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5 assists per game. If you just look at this data without looking at his name, many people will think This is not what Jordan can do. who is it? In fact, even Jordan, who was invincible back then, found it extremely difficult to average 40+6+5 in a series. ¡° If you want to easily perform like this under the defensive intensity of the playoffs it is estimated that only the "Zhang Twenty Thousand" from ancient times could do it. ¡­¡­ After winning the G4 game, the Heat also swept the Bucks with a score of 4:0, taking the lead in advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals. On the night of May 14th, the G4 battle between the Heat and the Bucks ended, and the G4 battle between the 76ers and the Raptors was also settled. The current big score between the two sides is 2:2. Each team won one game at the other side's home court. On May 17, the 76ers will return to their home court to face the Raptors' challenge. This "Battle of Heavenly Kings Mountain" is crucial. Whoever wins will have a favorable position in this series. Iverson and Carter, one of the two "big four shooting guards", will also test who is more talented in the playoffs (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 87 A series of fierce battles (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! If you were to ask who was the most popular NBA star in May 2001, everyone would probably tell you the same name, that is - "Wang Dalin"! Even though he is still a rookie, even though he has only turned 19 and about two months old, even though he only averaged 13.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.6 steals per game in the regular season, it is obviously not enough." The title "Soccer Star"but so what? In the two rounds of the playoff series, he averaged 15 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 43.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5 assists respectively. In 7 games, he averaged 31.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It sounds like the data that Jordan produced? During this period, even Kobe Bryant, the "young Black Mamba", will never be able to average such average data in 7 playoff games! If we really count, it is estimated that only Dwight Wade in the 2006 Finals can perform almost as well as Wang Dalin But "The Flash" is not even a sophomore yet! Many people probably don¡¯t know that Wade only participated in the NBA draft after his junior year. He was already 21 years old at that time. Initially, it was because he was an older rookie and suffered a serious knee injury in college. Moreover, his lack of height and unstable shooting meant that he had no obvious advantage at the second position and his organizational skills were poor, so he was not considered a draft prospect. good. Chad Ford, a famous reporter from ESPN, ranked Wade 13th in the first round in that year's mock draft Well, if Wade is really this pick, I guess the Komies will trumpet "miraculous" again. The No. 13 pick" is a joke. Back to Wang Dalin, his outstanding performance in the playoffs has undoubtedly attracted the attention of all aspects of the league, not only the uniforms of each team, but also almost all the media. But they can¡¯t take care of Wang Dalin now, because the playoffs are still in full swing In addition to the G4 game between the Bucks and the Heat and the 76ers and the Raptors on May 14, the G4 game between the Lakers and the Kings has also ended. As a result, the Lakers defeated the Kings 119:113, sweeping their opponents in the conference semifinals like the Heat. In this game, O'Neal scored 25 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. However, he did not display the full power of the "Peak Shark" because of too many fouls. However, Kobe made 15 of 29 shots from the field, including 1 of 1 three-pointers and 17 of 19 free throws. He scored 48 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 2 steals. His performance was explosive. If the strongest team in the Eastern Conference in the 2000-2001 season was the 76ers, then the dominant team in the Western Conference was undoubtedly the Lakers. This is also normal. In the original time and space, the Lakers successfully defended their title this season and won the second championship of the "Lakers OK Combination Dynasty". Their opponent in the finals was the 76ers with Iverson, but this time the Heat have Wang Dalin Can Iverson and the 76ers still make it to the finals? On the evening of May 15, the Spurs defeated the Mavericks 105:87 at home. In this game, Nowitzki made 14 of 24 shots, plus 14 of 18 free throws. He scored a total of 42 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 6 steals. His performance was already quite impressive. And Juwan Howard also contributed a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds. It is a pity that the other two "troika" Nash and Finley are not in shape. Nash made 4 of 7 shots and scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. He obviously failed to shoulder the team's organizational burden; while Finley only hit 1 goal in 17 shots, including all 4 three-pointers, which was a great performance. Loss of standard. For the Spurs, Duncan's shooting percentage of 12 of 25 is not very high, but he made 8 of 11 from the free throw line and scored 32 points, 20 rebounds and 3 assists The "Stone Buddha" is worthy of being a "Stone Buddha". In tough battles in the playoffs, he plays more calmly. In addition, Antonio Daniels of the Spurs scored 19 points, 2 rebounds and 9 assists, and "Admiral" David Robinson also contributed an all-round performance of 16 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists. It is natural to win. After five games, the Spurs "gentleman swept" the Mavericks 4:1 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals. On May 16, the G5 game between the Raptors and the 76ers began. Iverson was completely stunned in this game. He made 21 of 32 shots and scored 52 points and 7 assists. He led the 76ers to a 121:88 victory over the Raptors and won the crucial "Tianwangshan". war". On May 18, Vince Carter showed off his power in the G6 match between the Raptors and the 76ers, scoring 39 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 17-of-31 shooting. Iverson, on the other hand, had no touch. He made only 6 of 24 shots and "only scored" 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. There is such a big gap in performance between the team¡¯s star and the opponent¡¯s star. What else can the 76ers do to win? So g6 won the battle with the Raptors. ?The other team in the Eastern Conference finals could not be decided for a long time. On May 19, the Western Conference finals started first. The Lakers' Kobe Bryant continued his good touch and offensive desire in the last game. He made 19 of 35 shots and scored 45 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 1 steal. O'Neal also had an outstanding performance of 28 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals. . It is worth mentioning that substitute power forward Robert Horry is worthy of being a super substitute who gets excited as soon as he plays in the playoffs. He played 28 minutes in this game and had an all-round performance of 8 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Don¡¯t think that this kind of single-digit data is no big deal. If you don¡¯t play 35 minutes in a game with the ¡°OK combination¡±, it will be difficult for anyone to get double-digit data. Horry¡¯s performance is already very strong! The Spurs' "Stone Buddha" scored 28 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists on 10 of 19 shots. His performance was still solid. However, the "Admiral" was obviously suppressed in the confrontation with O'Neal. He only made 6 of 16 shots (Wang Dalin: Hey, this number looks familiar?) and only scored 14 points and 11 rebounds. The Lakers defeated the Spurs 104:90 and won the G1 game of the Western Conference Finals. On May 20, the tiebreaker between the 76ers and the Raptors began. This is a game that no one can afford to lose, so the two sides fought very fiercely and their defensive intensity was unusually strong. The star players of both teams had very low shooting percentages in this game. Carter made only 6 of 18 shots, and Iverson only made 8 of 27 shots. Fortunately, one person from each team stepped forward. For the Raptors, it was starting center Antonio Davis. He made 11 of 15 shots and scored 23 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. Aaron McGee of the 76ers was not to be outdone. He made 8 of 16 shots and scored 22 points and 7 rebounds. "Uncle Mu" contributed a "blue-collar double-double" of 10 points and 17 rebounds. In the end, 76 The team won the game with Iverson's buzzer-beater. 88:87, you can see from the score how intense the game was. Wang Dalin saw more from this game. For example the 76ers didn't seem to be invincible. Didn't the Raptors almost overthrow them? And as early as May 14, after the G4 game with the Bucks, Wang Dalin added another 10 points to his physical strength. Facing the increasingly intense playoffs, his original physical strength of 75 is clearly stretched. If there hadn¡¯t been a perverted mission like ¡°Maddie¡¯s Obsession¡± in the second round to get the ¡°buff (bug)¡±, I¡¯m afraid Riley would have let him play on the court for a few more minutes, and he would have been helpless. And facing the 76ers who are obviously stronger than the Bucks in the Eastern Conference finals, without the powerful blessing of the "power buff", you can only rely on strength Don't worry about whether you are strong enough, at least you have enough physical strength, right? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 88 The major awards have been settled (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Just before the Heat team flew to Philadelphia, the NBA had announced all the awards for the regular season. As expected, the "Best Sixth Man" award was still won by Wang Dalin. In all the votes, 58.8% of the first choice votes were given to him. The second-ranked player is Aaron McGee of the 76ers, who received 25.5% of the first-choice votes; the third-ranked player is Tim Thomas of the Bucks, who only received 14.2% of the first-choice votes. Wang Dalin has already won the Best Rookie Award before. In fact, many people think that it is unlikely that he will win the Best Sixth Man Award again. After all, he is only a rookie, and he is a Chinese player This is how the American people feel most of the time. xenophobic! However, the substitute players in the United States this season are really disappointing. For example, McGee averaged 11.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5 assists per game, while Thomas averaged 12.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists which is indeed worse than Wang Dalin's 13.4 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists. Somewhat. Moreover, Wang Dalin's performance in the playoffs was even more amazing, like a superstar. Although these performances have nothing to do with the regular season, sports reporters and TV commentators will definitely be affected a lot when voting. . I have to say that most of the time people are still impressionistic The first team of the All-Rookie Team is Wang Dalin, Mark Jackson, Kenyon Martin, Mike Miller and Darius Miles, and the second team is Maurice Peterson, Courtney Alexander, Marku. S. Fezer, Chris Mihm and Eddie House. That's right, House, who was originally unlikely to be selected for the All-Rookie Team, was actually selected for the second team. This was mainly because Hardaway was aging and Anthony Carter was indeed not very good, so Riley gave House more opportunities this season. Opportunity to play. House is also a good guy. He averaged 7.1 points, 1.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.9 steals in about 13 minutes per game in the regular season this season. He is indeed worthy of being selected for the All-Rookie Second Team. Not to mention the 2000 class, a notoriously weak draft year, even in other years his performance was pretty good for a rookie. The first-team All-NBA selections are Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Chris Webber, Allen Iverson and Jason Kidd; the second-team members are Dikembe Mutombo, Wen Carter, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady; the third team members are David Robinson, Karl Malone, Dirk Nowitzki, Ray Allen Len and Gary Payton. In fact, Kobe's performance this season definitely deserves to be selected for the All-NBA First Team, but Iverson's popularity is too high this season. Kidd has also won the assists title for three consecutive years, and Webb has led the Kings to third place in the Western Conference. , Not to mention Duncan The Spurs are first in the Western Conference in the regular season this season. ¡°And the Lakers already have O¡¯Neal selected to the All-NBA first team. If Kobe is brought in, the voting sports reporters and TV commentators will feel uncomfortable Everything you co-authored is owned by your Lakers? Should we all chant "Lakers championship" in unison? Therefore, even though this "young Black Mamba" averaged 28.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.7 steals per game during the regular season, he still only ranked in the second team of the All-NBA Team. In addition, Nowitzki was selected to the All-NBA Team for the first time, which also means that the NBA has gradually recognized him. You know, during this period, everyone generally thought that Nowitzki was a softie, but he just performed well? At the power forward position, apart from Duncan, Garnett, Karl Malone and Webber, who else dares to say that they can match the "veteran" this season? It does look a bit soft when cast outside, but I can't bear to say that the "old driver" is really accurate? This season, he averaged 21.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, shooting 47.8% from the field, 38.7% from the three-point range, and 83.8% from the free throw line. In particular, he averaged 4.8 three-pointers per game and hit 1.8 goals. In this era, he is definitely a wonder among the NBA big men! (Wang Dalin: So, it seems that I am also such a weirdo? What¡¯s wrong with shooting too many three-pointers?) The members of the first team of the All-Defensive Team are Duncan, Garnett, Kidd, Mutombo and Payton; the members of the second team are Bruce Bowen, P.J. Brown, Kobe Bryant, Doug Christie and O'Neal. In fact, sports reporters and TV commentators have obviously underestimated O'Neal's defensive strength. Based on his defensive effect in the game, he should definitely be selected for the All-Defensive Team. But everyone obviously made the mistake of impression flow again. It is probably because O'Neal is too powerful on the offensive end, and they subconsciously think that his defense is not as good as "Uncle Mu". Mutombo was not only selected to the All-Defensive First Team, he was also selected as the best defensive team this season.??Players. His defense is indeed great, but his defensive performance with the 76ers this season is not entirely his own fault. Under the defensive system created by Larry Brown, and with outside defenders like Snow and Hill on the team, it was far less difficult for "Uncle Mu" to guard the inside than people imagined. O'Neal is different. He can be said to be the one person who supports the entire inside line in the Lakers. He is the most powerful core on both the offensive and defensive ends. The Most Improved Player Award was taken away by Tracy McGrady. It can be said that he has no opponent at all for this award. After all, he only averaged 15.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game with the Raptors last season. This season he came to the Magic and became the boss, and his average data per game soared like a blowout to 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists This is an improvement. It's too big! McGrady¡¯s vote rate was 59.68%, and the second vote-getter was Peja of the Kings. He averaged 20.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game this season He is good enough for all in terms of average data and performance on the court. He is a star, but when he meets Tracy McGrady, he has no choice but to be defeated. The best coach award went to Larry Brown, which was no surprise at all. The 76ers have an excellent record of 56 wins and 26 losses in the regular season this season, ranking first in the Eastern Conference. Everyone knows that Larry Brown will definitely win this award. Finally the most valuable award, "Regular Season Most Valuable Player", also known as mvp, was indeed won by Iverson. Iverson¡¯s performance this season has indeed been almost perfect. Except for his slightly lower shooting percentage, it can be said that there is no weakness. He was often targeted by opponents on the defensive end, not only because of his short height, but also because of his defensive strength. However, the defensive system created by Larry Brown covered up this shortcoming of Iverson very well. As for the offensive endthe "answer" during this period is almost the most powerful perimeter killer in the league. In this season alone, "Answer" scored 40+ points in a single game 17 times in the regular season, including 50+ points in a single game twice, and scored 25 or more points in a single game in as many as 53 games. If the "Black Mamba" hasn't figured out the path he should take at this time, Garnett is the representative of all-round performance, then Iverson's game style is the ultimate offensegorgeous yet practical! ¡­¡­ When the entire Heat team flew to Philadelphia, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening on May 20. Most of the Heat players had gone back to their rooms to rest, but the coaching staff gathered in Riley's room. The Heat have lost to the 76ers four times in the regular season and are really wary of this opponent (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 89 Who is tougher than whom (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On the evening of May 20, in a hotel room in Philadelphia, Riley and all members of the Heat coaching staff watched the tiebreaker between the 76ers and the Raptors. After watching the game, Riley smiled and said: "The result is as I expected. Our opponent in the Eastern Conference finals is still the 76ers! Everyone, tell me, what do you think?" Stan Van Gundy unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, wiped the sweat from his head and said: "I think the key to who can win between us and the 76ers is actually whose defense is stronger!" I have to say, fat people just love to sweat! Spoelstra said: "My opinion is a little different from Stan's! Yes, we have to be tougher than anyone else, but it's not just defense, we also have to play a smoother offense!" Riley ignored Spoelstra, turned his attention to Van Gundy and asked: "Stan, in your opinion, how should we arrange the team's defensive focus?" Van Gundy smiled and started talking: "Pat, aren't you asking questions knowingly? Against this 76ers team, everyone knows that the focus of defense should be on Allen, but I want to explain in detail how to prevent this.' Answer'!" After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then said: "Everyone knows that we should focus on guarding Allen Iverson, but which team has really guarded him this season? So I want to say, if you want to really guard him, It's impossible to kill him. What we have to do is to keep an eye on other people as much as possible and let Allen play in singles As long as the connection between Allen and other people is cut off, no matter how powerful he is, he can't win every game. Doesn¡¯t it feel great in your hand?¡± After hearing this, Riley couldn't help but nod and smile: "Yes, Allen Iverson is really good, but his shooting percentage is not high. He can't kill us alone!" Iverson averaged 31.1 points per game in the regular season this season, but his shooting percentage was only 42%. Since the playoffs, his shooting percentage has been even lower, less than 40%. However, his number of assists in the playoffs has been significantly improved compared to the regular season. He currently averages more than 6 assists per game. This is what Riley pays more attention to. Van Gundy can see this, and Riley is obviously very satisfied with him. He is indeed the best expert in perimeter defense. Riley's defensive thinking coincides with Van Gundy's, that is, instead of going all out to mark Iverson, it is better to let him play in isolation and focus on others. Anyway, his shooting percentage is not high, and he will not hit it every time. Hit critical hits every game, right? If the Heat are really so unlucky, just like the Bucks encountered the "cheating" Wang Dalin before, then the Heat deserve to lose After confirming Van Gundy, Riley turned to look at Spoelstra and asked: "Eric, you just said that we must also play a smooth offense. Can you talk about it specifically?" Spoelstra smiled and said: "Actually, it's not complicated! After watching so many 76ers game videos, everyone should have discovered that Larry Brown's defensive system is actually a zone defense. He is just playing in the league. It¡¯s just a side kick, we might as well call this zone defense a ¡®pseudo zone defense¡¯!¡± After a slight pause, he continued: "To break the zone defense, or this kind of 'pseudo zone defense', as long as we can make shots from the mid-range, there is actually nothing to fear from the 76ers' defense! And our team happens to have the Ling Wang is a player who is very good at mid-range shooting, and Eddie and Brian are also good at mid-range shooting!¡± Riley nodded and smiled: "That's right! But there is one more thing you didn't mention. It is also important to break the zone defense and make three-pointers. Our team happens to have Darling King's three-pointers very accurate, and Eddie's three-pointers are also pretty good! " In the regular season, Wang Dalin¡¯s three-point shooting percentage was ¡°only¡± 36.1%, but in these 7 games in the playoffs, his three-point shooting percentage was as high as over 65%. This is really terrifying! And he is not the type of shooter who only takes one or two shots from beyond the three-point line in a game. Not only does he have a high shooting percentage, but he also makes a frightening number of shots. Wang Dalin made so many three-pointers in the playoffs, which really left a deep impression on Riley Not only Riley, but everyone now probably regards him as the league's number one three-pointer expert. . Coupled with Eddie Jones, a powerful scorer with a three-point shooting rate of 43.8% in the playoffs, if the 76ers continue to use their usual defensive tactics, Riley is very confident that he can create the " The turtle shell was smashed to pieces. In Riley¡¯s view, he admitted that the defensive system built by Brown is indeed very good, but the Heat¡¯s iron-blooded defense is not weak either. The 76ers' offense can only rely on Iverson alone, while the Heat's offensive firepower is much stronger. If Wang Dalin can perform like that against the Bucks once or twice again, let alone the 76ers?So what if the Lakers are now recognized as the number one team in the league? Why don't you still surrender to your death? Of course, Riley also knows that this is not realistic, and it is almost impossible to repeat Wang Dalin's performance in those games. But even Wang Dalin, who is in "regular form", currently has more offensive firepower than Mason, who is still recovering from injury, in Riley's mind. On May 21, the Lakers¡¯ G2 game against the Spurs began. At the beginning of this game, both sides played with extraordinary defensive intensity, but Duncan still scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 4 of 8 shots in the first quarter, and his performance was very calm. For the Spurs, Daniels made 3 of 5 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 10 points in the first quarter. Kobe Bryant was not to be outdone on the Lakers' side. He faced Daniels' defense and scored 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 block on 4 of 6 shots. Without Bruce Bowen, a strong outside defender, Bobo, the old thief, really has nothing to do with this "Black Mamba". Kobe's performance was quite good, but O'Neal on the Lakers side was a little stretched in the first quarter. He only made 1 of 5 shots and scored 2 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. The Spurs did not even use the "shark-cutting tactic" to restrict him. . In the second quarter, the Spurs' offensive firepower increased instead of decreasing. Duncan alone made 8 of 10 shots and scored 17 points and 6 rebounds, completely destroying the Lakers' inside line. ??And Kobe, who performed well in the first quarter, felt cold in this quarter, scoring only 5 points on 2 of 6 shots. O'Neal was still sluggish in the second quarter, making only 1 of 4 shots. At the end of the first half, the Lakers trailed the Spurs by 8 points, 38:46. Maybe it was because someone's words inspired him during the halftime break, or maybe he was so embarrassed by his own performance that O'Neal finally regained his touch at the beginning of the second half. He scored 9 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in the third quarter on 4-of-7 shooting. His performance was as comprehensive as the Timberwolves¡¯ No. 21 Don't wonder why Lao Wang always uses Garnett as a metaphor. The "Wolf King" of this period is indeed the most comprehensive big man in the NBA. He averaged 22 points, 11.4 rebounds and 5 assists per game this season. He is the only player in the league who can average "20+10+5" per game Doesn't that still show his comprehensiveness? O'Neal's condition recovered, but Duncan was still solid. He made 1 of 2 shots in the third quarter, plus 6 of 6 free throws and scored 8 points. In the third quarter, Kobe made 2 of 5 shots and scored 6 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. His performance was also very comprehensive. After three quarters, the score between the two sides reached 66:67, and the Lakers were only 1 point behind. In the fourth quarter, the Lakers' defensive intensity suddenly increased, catching the Spurs off guard. Even a solid player like Duncan struggled, making only 2 of 6 shots. The performance of other Spurs players in the fourth quarter was even worse. "The Admiral" made 1 of 3 shots, Daniels made 0 of 2 shots, Terry Burt made 0 of 3 shots, and Danny Ferry made 0 of 1 shots. middle¡­¡­ Although O'Neal's shooting percentage for the Lakers is not high, he only scored 5 points on 2 of 5 shots, but he also contributed 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, and his performance was normal. Kobe was tough enough at the critical moment. He scored 9 points on 3-of-7 shooting in the fourth quarter, continuing the Lakers' offensive firepower. In this game, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 88:81. The Spurs' two home games ended in failure, and the hope of advancing to the finals was almost zero. What really killed the game was not the "Black Mamba" who scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, nor the "Shark" who scored 19 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists, but the two role players Fox and Horry. They each contributed 2 steals in the fourth quarter, giving the Spurs the heaviest blow. As the saying goes, "Offense wins the regular season, defense wins the championship." In this Western Conference finals, Fox and Horry proved the correctness of this statement with 4 steals. Sometimes, defense can also kill the game (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 90 Meeting Iverson by chance (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On the afternoon of May 21, Heat players conducted a two-hour adaptive training at the 76ers¡¯ home arena, the Wachovia Center. After the training, Wang Dalin and House met at the most famous "King of Prussia Mall" in Philadelphia. I finally made it to Philadelphia, and it would be a pity not to go shopping and buy something. Wang Dalin just signed a sneaker endorsement deal and received a signing fee of US$1 million. Now his wallet is bulging I have to say that if people have money, they want to spend it. Even Wang Dalin, an otaku in his previous life, also No exception. "Wang, would you like to try on this suit?" After entering the "Versace" store, House pointed at a casual suit and said, "I think the style and color of this suit match you very well!" "Really?" Wang Dalin was noncommittal and took the suit off the hanger and entered the fitting room. House has always been quite disdainful of Wang Dalin's clothes! Throughout the year, Wang Dalin always wears a set of Heat training clothes. When it's hot, he wears short-sleeved shirts, and when it's cold, he wears a sports coat NBA players are all high-income people, who would be like him? As a "public figure", you should still pay attention to your appearance. For example, among stars such as Kobe Bryant, O'Neal, and Iverson, which one is not well-dressed when appearing in public? Just like Iverson they are about to face, this guy has liked hip-hop style dressing since he entered the league, attracting many fans to imitate him. Wang Dalin really didn¡¯t care about this before, and Schwartz even called him to remind him several times. (Schwartz: Yes, I must help this guy finalize a clothing brand endorsement as soon as possible, otherwise he will really embarrass me!) As Wang Dalin¡¯s best friend, House believes that he has the obligation to help him. At the very least, he must make him as fashionable as himself Well, are you sure you call this fashionable? After putting on clothes and walking out of the fitting room, Wang Dalin stood in front of the mirror and touched his short hair, which was less than an inch long, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it okay?" House smiled and said: "Yes, let me just say that this suit suits you very well, right? Well I will take you to get a super cool hairstyle later, and match it with this suit. I guarantee that you will have it as long as you go out on the street." A beautiful woman wants to chat with you!¡± Wang Dalin laughed and said: "How can it be so exaggerated?" ¡° Then House helped him choose a few more sets of clothes, and when he went to the counter to check out "$114,000!" Wang Dalin was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head, "Why is it so expensive?" "Look at your worthless look!" House showed a contemptuous smile, "Can you tell me carefully what brand this is? I can buy a few sets of 'Versace' for more than 110,000 yuan, and I'm asking you where it's expensive?" ¡°Okay, let¡¯s just say I¡¯m ignorant, right?¡± Wang Dalin¡¯s face turned red and he quickly took out his card to settle the bill. After walking out of the "Versace" store, the two were about to buy a cold drink when House suddenly pointed not far away and said: "Wang, do you think that person is Allen Iverson?" Wang Dalin looked in the direction he pointed and saw a short black man hugging a black girl. The two were feeding each other ice cream Sure enough, they were spreading good dog food! The little black man wore a baseball cap backwards and a pair of sunglasses. It was hard to tell that he was Philadelphia's most popular star unless you looked carefully. "Let's go over and say hello!" Wang Dalin walked away first, and House quickly followed. "Hi, Allen, how have you been lately?" Wang Dalin looked familiar and stepped forward to pat Iverson on the shoulder. "Wang? Eddie? Why are you here?" Iverson was obviously a little surprised to meet these two guys in the shopping mall. His big watery eyes were blinking so cute! "Come out and buy something!" Wang Dalin shook the bag in his hand, "What about you? Are you on a date with your girlfriend?" "What girlfriend? This is my wife Tawanna!" Iverson smiled, "Dear, these two are Heat players. This big man is called Darling King, and this is Eddie House! " In fact, Iverson and Tawanna already knew each other as early as 1991. At that time, 16-year-old Tawanna was the school belle of Hampton High School. She fell in love with this cool boy after meeting Iverson. Four years later, Iverson and Tawanna gave birth to their first daughter, Teola, while still studying at Georgetown University. In 1996, Iverson entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick in the draft and joined the Philadelphia 76ers. In 1997, Tawanna gave birth to another child for him.??Son, named Allen II. Iverson and Tawanna, who already have a son and a daughter, have long planned to get married. They plan to hold a wedding this offseason. So, there is nothing wrong with Iverson calling Tawanna "wife" He already has two children, what difference does it make if he has a marriage certificate or not? Indeed, Wang Dalin knew that Iverson and Tawanna would hold their wedding in August 2001. Logically speaking, the two of them should live a happy life, but Wang Dalin knew that their good life would not last long. Originally in time and space, on July 1, 2002, Iverson and Tawanna had a fierce quarrel. An angry Iverson kicked his wife out. Tawanna was almost naked at the time! Tawanna had no choice but to go to a hotel to "escape", but Iverson thought his wife might be hiding in his cousin's apartment, so he shot her there with a gun and was later arrested by the police. Later, they couldn't get along anymore. In 2010, Tawanna filed for divorce with the court. The divorce lawsuit between the two became heated. It was not until 2013 that the two reached an out-of-court settlement. Iverson paid Tawanna $3 million, and Iverson was responsible for raising all five children they had. Tawanna said hello to Wang Dalin and the others, and then very sensibly asked Iverson to accompany his friends first, while she went to the store first. "Hey, we are going to play against each other tomorrow night. Aren't you afraid of being photographed by reporters when you meet with me?" Iverson said with a smile, "I don't care. You are still rookies. If you are photographed, the impact will not be good. !¡± Wang Dalin smiled and said: "It's okay, just shoot. Anyway, just explain it clearly at the press conference after the game tomorrow night!" "Hey, it seems that the 'Vulcan' is really confident?" Iverson smiled, "You knew you would definitely be able to participate in the post-game press conference?" It is not easy for players to participate in the post-match press conference. Wang Dalin's words are tantamount to announcing in advance that he will definitely perform excellently tomorrow night. In the last round of the series, Wang Dalin's performance was absolutely epic. "Li Ning" company started to hype the upcoming "Vulcan Generation" basketball shoes while the iron was hot, so Iverson was really not joking when he called him "Vulcan" , he did not dare to look down upon this 19-year-old rookie. "Are you okay! What about you? How many points are you going to score on us tomorrow night?" Wang Dalin laughed, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, those tough guys on our team are not easy to mess with!" House also smiled and said: "As long as I come up to stare at you tomorrow night, you won't be able to break through easily!" Iverson smiled and said: "Haha, since you are so confident, it seems unreasonable if I don't score 30 or 40 points tomorrow night! Wang, I hope you can continue to have the same feel when you beat the Milwaukeeans. If not, you can You¡¯ll definitely lose!¡± Wang Dalin was not willing to be outdone and said: "It's not yet certain who will lose and who will win. We'll see you on the court tomorrow night!" "Okay, see you on the court!" Iverson shook hands with Wang Dalin and House respectively, then said goodbye to them and went to find Tawanna. "Let's go, let's go too! Didn't you say you wanted to take me to get my hair done?" Looking at Iverson's "skinny" back, Wang Dalin was filled with fighting spirit. "Since God has given me the opportunity to travel this time, how can I not do something big? I don't care if you are the 'Answer', the 'Big Shark', the 'Stone Buddha' or the 'Black Mamba', I will do it one by one Let you become my defeated generals" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 91 The ultimate kill (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! (This chapter is the last chapter before it is put on the shelves, and it is also the last chapter of the first volume "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss". Let's have a 5,000-word chapter!) On the evening of May 22, the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the 76ers and the Heat started as scheduled. When the Heat players came on the field, the home fans booed sharply. Wang Dalin had just gotten a very cool haircut (actually it was a straight haircut, with a "W" shaped pattern on both sides), and the boos made him wonder if his haircut was too cool. When it was the turn of the home team players to appear on the court, they all gave enthusiastic applause and cheers. Especially when Iverson came on the stage, the audience cheered thunderously. They were welcoming Philadelphia's greatest hero. Yes, during this period, Iverson was the pride of all Philadelphians and the totem of this city. The Heat have played against the 76ers 4 times in the regular season, but all ended in failure. The 76ers this season are indeed strong. Wang Dalin is no stranger to Iverson, but recalling his sharp breakthrough layups and those emergency-stop mid-range shots after a one-step breakthrough, he still has some lingering fears. The "answer" in his peak period, although his defense was not very good, his offense was indeed the top in the league. Everyone's general evaluation of him was no solution! After the game started, Wang Dalin personally experienced how unsolvable Iverson's offense was. In this game, Iverson made 17 of 35 shots, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, 9 of 12 free throws, and scored 44 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals. Riley¡¯s defensive strategy worked. The Heat really cut off the connection between Iverson and his teammates, allowing him to only send out 2 assists. But faced with such an efficient "answer", the Heat were still unable to resist and lost 89:94. Wang Dalin played 30 minutes and made a total of 9 of 17 shots, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 26 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. The performance is naturally quite good and the efficiency is also very high, but he only had 3 assists in 30 minutes in this game, which was very rare in the past. The main reason why the Heat lost was of course that Iverson was too strong, and the second reason was that Jones' touch was so bad in this game Wang Dalin didn't make any of the balls he passed to him, otherwise he wouldn't have only made three attempts. Assist! At the press conference after the game, Wang Dalin was indeed asked by reporters about his encounter with Iverson yesterday. He couldn't help but sigh that paparazziare really everywhere no matter which country they are! The G2 game was held on May 24, and the Heat lost this game again. It¡¯s still Iverson His offensive firepower did not decrease at all in this game. He scored 41 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals on 14 of 29 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 11 of 14 free throws. Wang Dalin¡¯s performance in this game was slightly worse than in the G1 game, but he also had an overall performance of 20 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks. In the second quarter, Hardaway strained his calf muscle while chasing Iverson, and Riley had no choice but to replace him with Eddie House. This guy's legs and feet are naturally faster than Hardaway's, but how can his defense compare to an experienced veteran like Hardaway? So, after House came on the court, he was beaten to pieces by Iverson. He even got three fouls by Iverson after just 5 minutes of playing so he didn't play long. They lost two consecutive away games. After returning to the home court, the Heat team was united and finally won the G3 game. Iverson¡¯s touch was not good in this game. He made only 11 of 28 shots and scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists with free throws. The Heat's defensive strategy against him has not changed, and they still successfully isolated Iverson. Mourning performed bravely in this game, scoring 23 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists, completely suppressing the opponent's new best defensive player. Wang Dalin scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and his performance was quite satisfactory. In the G4 game on May 28, Iverson continued to feel sluggish. He only hit 10 goals in 31 shots in this game, with a shooting percentage of just over 30%. When the "Answer" performance is so sluggish, it would be a fantasy for the 76ers to win. And in this game, not only were the 76ers unable to open up on the offensive end, they also had major problems on the defensive end. When Teilon Hill defended Wang Dalin, he was whistled for a first-level flagrant foul because he made too many foul moves. After that, he kept cursing next to the referee, and was directly ejected by the referee. Without Hill, a strong outside defender, the 76ers' defensive intensity dropped significantly. Wang Dalin seized the opportunity and made consecutive shots. In this game, Wang Dalin made 11 of 16 shots and scored 31 points, 10 rebounds and 6??Mine! "Grant struggled to grab the offensive rebound and then passed it directly to Wang Dalin, who was still outside the three-point line. After catching the ball, Wang Dalin lowered his center of gravity and took two deep breaths. His physical energy consumption was too great, and the ball just now was obviously short as soon as it was released. "Looks like I can't do it on my own!" Wang Dalin signaled Grant to come out to cover him, and then used this pick-and-roll dribble to break into the three-second zone. Seeing the very hidden gesture Wang Dalin made to him, Jones had already run to the right corner. The ball was suddenly passed to him by Wang Dalin in a high jump. All the 76ers players were shocked. Jones immediately hit a three-pointer from the corner, giving the Heat a one-point lead at 90:89. With less than 20 seconds left, the 76ers still had a chance to take the lead. Larry Brown quickly used up the last timeout opportunity of the game and began to deploy the final attack tactics. In fact, there are no tactics. Just like the famous "Bread Man" Mike Brown said "Give the ball to LeBron", Larry Brown only tells everyone one sentence, that is - "Give the ball to LeBron." Lun!" "Beep" The game continued. On the 76ers' side, "Uncle Mu" served the sideline ball. Iverson ran into the backcourt to receive the ball Bowen kept stalking him, and the "answer" was immediately given due to his obvious lack of physical strength. He couldn't get rid of him. "Uncle Mu" is not a famous "Polish basketball star" in China. This sideline ball was served very securely, and Iverson also received it very securely. By the time he dribbled the ball across the midfield line, 4 seconds had passed. With 15 seconds left, Iverson looked at the timer above the backboard from time to time while dribbling, and his body's center of gravity began to gradually lower Suddenly, he made a quick start and wiped out Bowen in front of him. Then he rushed to the three-point line and collected the ball in his hand Bowen flew up from behind, Jones also flew up from the side, and Iverson There was no expression on his face at all. He did not shoot immediately, but waited for the two of them to land before jumping up calmly. Raising his hand, dialing the ball, pressing his wrist just as he took the shot, the red light on the backboard had already turned on, indicating the end of the game. The basketball drew a wonderful arc and got into the basket 91:90, the 76ers defeated the Heat by 1 point, and Iverson ended the series with a buzzer-beater! Wang Dalin raised his head and looked at the scoreboard on the big screen. The sweat on his forehead flowed down through his eyebrows, and his vision became blurry. "Did you still lose?" Wang Dalin showed a self-deprecating smile, "It seems that my rookie season is over like this!" He reached the conference finals in his rookie season. Although it is not perfect, it is still remarkable. Moreover, Wang Dalin's performance in the playoffs was obviously a level higher than that in the regular season, showing extraordinary potential. All in all, his rookie season has been pretty good. Next it¡¯s time to pack up and report to the national team!

(VIP first chapter, please order first!) It was midsummer in Beijing at the end of June 2001. The sun was scorching the earth, the air seemed to be distorted, and a vague heat wave filled the track and field ground. Liu Xiang had just finished a round and was sitting in the shade under the stands, drinking a bottle of mineral water in one breath. Speaking of Liu Xiang, everyone in later generations is naturally familiar with it, but in the summer of 2001, he was just a fledgling hurdler star. (Everyone should know his name. To avoid suspicion, Lao Wang can only use this word instead!) Liu Xiang was born in the "Magic City" Shanghai in July 1983. He has shown extraordinary athletic talent since he was a child. When he was just 7 years old, Zhong Suogui, the coach of the track and field team of Guannong Xincun Primary School in Shanghai, took a fancy to this child at first sight and selected him into the school track and field team. From then on, he began his brilliant track and field career. Since then, he has been coaching sprinters, but when he was in the fourth grade of elementary school, he was selected by teacher Gu Baogang to coach long jump at Shanghai Putuo District Youth Sports School. In 1996, after a 100-meter sprint competition in Shanghai, Liu Xiang was spotted by Fang Shuiquan, the second-line coach of the track and field team of Shanghai Institute of Sports Technology, and then began to practice hurdles. In the same year, Liu Xiang won the 110-meter hurdles Group B championship in the Shanghai Youth Track and Field Championships. This was also Liu Xiang's first hurdle championship in his life. In 1997, Liu Xiang once again won the 110-meter hurdles Group B championship in the Shanghai Youth Track and Field Championships. He then transferred to Yichuan Middle School, a traditional track and field school in Shanghai. From then on, he trained while studying, and his sprint performance improved rapidly. Many fans know what happened after that. Liu Xiang was selected for the Chinese track and field team in 1999. In October 2000, Liu Xiang finished fourth in the men's 110-meter hurdles at the World Youth Championships in Santiago, Chile, with a time of 13.87 seconds. A month later, Liu Xiang won third place in the indoor competition in Lyon, France. On May 6, 2001, Liu Xiang won first place at the National Track and Field Championships and Grand Prix Series with a time of 13.32 seconds. On May 24, Liu Xiang won first place at the East Asian Games in Osaka with a time of 13.42 seconds. He will participate in the World University Games in August this year and the National Games in November, so Liu Xiang has been stepping up preparations during this period. Liu Xiang, who is only 18 years old, still has a hint of immaturity on his face, but he has been holding back a lot of energy in his heart. Who says that yellow people can¡¯t win the world championship in sprint events? He vowed to break the black monopoly in sprint events! "Huhhuh" After taking a few deep breaths, Liu Xiang raised his head and cast his gaze towards the center of the runway. A girl with a high ponytail started running quickly after hearing the starting gun. She skillfully crossed one hurdle after another and ran across the finish line like lightning. Liu Xiang had a smile on his face. Seeing the girl walking towards him, he stood up and twisted his waist, then shook his legs. ¡°Many people see athletes always moving here and there when being interviewed, and think their behavior is not dignified at all. In fact, this is a complete misunderstanding. ??Athletes actually do this kind of movement just to stretch their bodies, and in most cases they are completely unconscious. Just like many people often take the mobile phone into their hands unconsciously, maybe they never thought about playing with the mobile phone at this time The girl walked up to Liu Xiang with a moving smile on her face: "Brother, how was my run just now?" Liu Xiang smiled and said: "It's okay. It would be better if the rhythm between the columns was more stable! Zi Lin, you have made great progress during this period!" The girl smiled and said: "Of course, I have been practicing so hard during this period. If I don't make any progress, I might as well give up track and field and become a model!" This girl, whom Liu Xiang calls "Zilin", is over 1.8 meters tall, only slightly shorter than Liu Xiang. ¡°And she is beautiful and has a pretty good figure. Her two long, straight legs can make countless girls jealous to death. This condition is perfect for being a model. Liu Xiang smiled and said: "Being a model is better than going to a beauty pageant. If you participate in a beauty pageant, you will definitely win the championship in competitions like 'Miss Universe' and 'Miss World'!" "Oh Senior Brother, I will be proud if you say that!" The girl smiled, "By the way, Senior Brother, you are not from Shanghai, can you do me a favor?" Liu Xiang smiled and asked: "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?" &nbsThe account is over. "This damn girl!" Liu Xiang smiled bitterly, packed up his things and returned to the dormitory. ¡°The first four tickets cost 1,200 yuan these days, which is indeed not cheap. It is equivalent to a month¡¯s salary of an ordinary working class in Beijing. Liu Xiang¡¯s performance has been getting better and better in the past two years, and he also won a place in the international competition this year. However, he did not receive much income from this, so he is really not stingy. He really cannot afford to invite his junior sisters to watch the game. ¡°If we win a gold medal at the Athens Olympics in a few years, what does a few tickets costing more than a thousand yuan mean? ????????????????????????????????? In Cantonese terms, it¡¯s sprinkle the water! At the same time, Wang Dalin had just arrived in Shanghai, an international metropolis, and finally reported to the national team. How did he know that he actually had a little crush in Beijing? In fact, he had finished all the games in the 2000-2001 season in early June, but he could not return to China immediately to report to the national team because he still had many things to deal with. First of all, Schwartz helped him make appointments with many brands for endorsement negotiations, including "Versace" and "Giorgio Armani", two world-class clothing brands, as well as "Omega", "Patek Philippe", "Rolex", Watch brands such as "Vacheron Constantin" and "Tissot". Of course, Schwartz also interviewed Ford, Cadillac, Chrysler, Chevrolet and other car brands He really looked down upon Wang Dalin's Raptor. This kind of pickup truck in the United States of this era is an agricultural vehicle! You said that you, a well-known NBA star, actually drive a farm vehicle You yourself are shameless, and I, as an agent, want to be shameless! Although Wang Dalin did not have to come forward during the negotiation, he still had to come forward in person when the contract was finally signed. The agent could not help him sign the contract, so he really couldn't return to China for a while. What¡¯s more, he has just played a whole season, 82 games in the regular season and 13 games in the playoffs. They were all high-intensity games, and he really deserves a good rest. ¡°After all, he is only 19 years old. According to normal people, he is still growing up. If he gets injured due to excessive fatigue, it will be a bit outweighed by the gain. This is not alarmist. Think about why Chairman Yao was frequently injured back then. NBA players can rest for at least four months every year. Some players who don¡¯t have to play in the playoffs can even rest from April to September Why do they have to rest for so long? That¡¯s because after a long season, they really need to take such a long break! If you continue to participate in high-intensity games during the offseason, like Chairman Yao, you are likely to suffer sports injuries due to excessive fatigue. The most common one is "stress fracture", which is caused by excessive fatigue. fracture. After playing in the playoffs, Wang Dalin found that his overall durability had dropped to 92. This was not a good sign! Although the overall durability of 92 is quite high, who knows when injuries will suddenly strike? He does not have the "Copper Skin and Iron Bone Badge" now. If he is really fouled by someone, he may suddenly be injured at any time. So Wang Dalin patiently took a good rest for a period of time. He just practiced shooting or dribbling for a few hours every day, which was enough to maintain his condition. Soon the time came to the end of June. Wang Dalin signed three endorsement contracts for "Versace", "Tissot" and "Ford" respectively, and finally boarded a plane back to China. In fact, the average annual quotation given by "Giorgio Armani" is slightly higher than that of "Versace", but Wang Dalin prefers the brand "Versace", and the endorsement contract period of "Versace" is only three years, which is higher than that of other brands. One year lessWang Dalin definitely hopes to sign a short-term contract. Watch brand Schwartz helped him choose "Tissot", of course because "Tissot" has the highest price, and this brand focuses on sports and leisure styles, which is more suitable for Wang Dalin's current age. As for the car brandSchwartz was indeed a little speechless. Wang Dalin still chose to sign for Ford. The reason turned out to be that he really liked Ford F-series pickup trucks and felt that this large-sized car was the most suitable for him. After signing the contract, Schwartz had already cursed in his heart - "You deserve to drive an agricultural vehicle for the rest of your life!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 94 The most glorious era of men¡¯s basketball You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On June 29, 2001, Wang Dalin flew to Shanghai. As soon as he walked out of the airport, he saw Su Qun waving to him. Next to him stood a middle-aged man over two meters tall. Wang Dalin pulled the box and walked over. Su Qun smiled and said: "Dalin, let me introduce to you. This is Ji Zhixin, the leader of our national team. You can just call him Director Ji. Director Ji, this is Wang Dalin." !¡± Ji Zhixin smiled and said: "Who doesn't know Wang Dalin yet? If he hadn't flown back so suddenly, I would have probably gathered fans outside Pudong International Airport to pick him up." Wang Dalin quickly shook hands with Ji Zhixin: "Director Ji, please don't be so polite. It makes me feel embarrassed!" Ji Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but laugh, and after a long time he stopped smiling and said: "Da Lin, you are transferring from Hong Kong this time. Are you tired after taking the plane for such a long time? Come on, let¡¯s go back and take a rest first!" "Okay!" Wang Dalin was quite straightforward and followed them to the parking lot. They saw that they drove a "Buick" business car to pick him up. The space inside the car was quite spacious. Wang Dalin couldn't help but smile with satisfaction He was actually not particular about what kind of car he took. It didn't matter whether it was a luxury car or not. Important, as long as there is plenty of space in the car. How good is his "Raptor"? Schwarsna was still disliked that was a "agricultural car"? Sitting in the car and driving along, Wang Dalin suddenly asked curiously: "Brother Su, why are you in Shanghai? Don't you live in Beijing?" Su Qun smiled and said: "Aren't we going to play a warm-up match with the Australian team soon? As the director of the basketball department of "Sports Weekly", how can I not come to the scene? Isn't it because Director Ji heard that we are familiar with each other? You asked me to come pick you up together!¡± Ji Zhixin also said: "Da Lin, you didn't go back to Chongqing first when you returned to China this time. Aren't your parents worried about you?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "I have been out for more than a year, and my family has already gotten used to it! It's okay. I talked to my family before getting on the plane yesterday. I will go back after playing in the Asian Championships this time." Ji Zhixin smiled and said: "Yes, you have been out for such a long time, so you should go home and fulfill your filial piety! By the way, have you decided which team you will join next season?" Wang Dalin said: "This is not certain yet. The Heat have already given me a qualified offer, but my agent told me not to worry. When the trading market opens, other teams will definitely invite me to offer." Just before Wang Dalin returned to China, the Heat's uniform staff had already made an offer to Wang Dalin. The qualifying offer they gave was US$620,000. This year¡¯s NBA base salary has risen to US$470,000, so the offer the Heat can offer to Wang Dalin is naturally higher than previously expected. The trading market will open on July 1. Wang Dalin has entrusted Schwartz with full authority to negotiate with each team. He believes that some teams will definitely give him an offer. As for whether he can sign a maximum salary, it depends on whether Schwartz, the future gold medal agent, has wasted his reputation. As long as Schwartz helps him negotiate, he can go back and complete the signing at any time on a plane. Anyway, the Asian Championships will officially start on July 20, so there is still plenty of time. The current training venue of the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team in Shanghai is the Meilong Training Base. It is located in Minhang District, Shanghai, about 20 kilometers away from the center of Shanghai. It is a good place away from the hustle and bustle of the city. After arriving at the training base, Ji Zhixin took Wang Dalin to settle in the room first, and then said with a smile: "Dalin, considering that you have experience playing in the United States and will go to the NBA this year, I will arrange for you to live in a room with him. , please tell me more about the situation in the United States! Everyone is training now, so you should take a rest first, and I will introduce Coach Wang Fei and his teammates to you during dinner in the evening!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Okay, Director Ji, you can get busy first!" After Ji Zhixin left, Wang Dalin took a bath first, lay on the bed and fell asleep soon after. Until the door opened, Wang Dalin was suddenly awakened, and saw a tall man with a handsome face entering the room with his head lowered. "Hey, are you all asleep? Didn't I disturb you?" The visitor smiled and spoke fluently in Beijing movies, "Hello, I am Wang Zhizhi!" Wang Dalin quickly sat up and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm Wang Dalin! I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you today!" Wang Zhizhi entered the room and said while changing his slippers: "What can I do to meet you? We both have the surname Wang, and we are sharing a room this time. It is really destined!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Director Ji said that I have experience playing in the United States, so he specially arranged for me to live with you!" ?sp;"Da Lin, you finally came to report!" Wang Fei said with a smile on his face, "With you, I feel confident about this Asian Championship!" Wang Dalin quickly said modestly: "Director Wang, don't say that. Our Chinese men's basketball team has a strong team. Even without me, wouldn't it be easy to win an Asian championship?" Wang Fei said seriously: "Don't underestimate the enemy so much! Didn't we lose that time in 1997? It can be seen that the phrase 'a proud soldier will be defeated' is reasonable!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "'Arrogant soldiers will be defeated' does make sense, but strength is strength. I don't believe that any team in Asia can beat us now!" This is not Wang Dalin's blind arrogance. This Chinese men's basketball team is definitely one of the top ten teams in the world. It is not surprising that it even ranks among the top eight. In Asia, it is the invincible overlord! You don¡¯t even look at who¡¯s in the team? There are three players at the center position: Wang Zhizhi, Battel and Yao Ming. Although Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming have not yet reached the peak of their careers, they indeed have no opponents in Asia. Although Liu Yudong and Gong Xiaobin at the power forward position are over thirty years old, they are still at their peak. Especially Liu Yudong, the "God of War", can defeat any opponent in the same position in Asia. There are Zhang Jinsong and Li Nan at the small forward position. Not only are they tenacious in defense, they are also quite good in outside shooting. Not to mention the shooting guard. Although Zhang Cheng is not well-known, he is also a very good swingman in the CBA league. What's more, there is Hu Weidong, known as the "Chinese Jordan" at this position? "Lao Hu has just passed 31 years old and is still at the end of his personal peak. His sharp breakthroughs and precise three-pointers are very powerful. Even if he competes with NBA players, he will not necessarily fall behind. I think back in the 1996 Summer League, when the Chinese men's basketball team played against the Lakers, Hu Weidong completely stole the limelight from rookie Kobe Bryant. He not only gave Kobe a big shot in the game, but also slashed wildly against Kobe. 30 points. Although Kobe was only a substitute for the Lakers during his rookie period, in terms of strength, he was more than a substitute. He should also be a starting player, right? From this, we can deduce how powerful Hu Weidong was in 1996. He definitely had the ability to play the main role in the NBA! The point guard position has always been the weakest link in the Chinese men's basketball team, but Fan Bin and Li Xiaoyong are both top-notch point guards in the country. ? Among them, Fan Bin is good at organization and has quite the style of Adijiang back then; Li Xiaoyong is good at personal offense, with certain power in breakthroughs and mid-to-long-range shooting. They are incomparable to the world's top point guards, but in Asia they are still very good! ¡°And now with the addition of Wang Dalin, the NBA¡¯s best rookie and best sixth man, it can be said that the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team is unprecedentedly powerful. ????????????????????????????????? I dare not say "unprecedented", at least it is "unprecedented"! Wang Dalin naturally knows that the most glorious time of the men's basketball team should be the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but in terms of strength, he believes that the current men's basketball team will not be worse than the 2008 team. It is true that Yao Ming was already one of the top super centers in the NBA in 2008, but at that time Wang Zhizhi's condition had begun to decline, Yi Jianlian was still too immature, and Li Nan and Zhu Fangyu were obviously inferior to Hu Weidong and Liu Yudong. Just like fans will always argue about who is better, the American Dream Team 1 or the Dream Team 8, in fact this argument is meaningless because they both represented the highest level of world basketball during that period. Some people say that the Dream Team 1 has an average margin of victory over its opponents of 43.8 points per game, while the Dream Team 8 has an average margin of victory over its opponents of only 30.9 points per game, and they only won 11 points in the final against Spain. If Kobe hadn't stepped forward several times at critical moments If you open up the score, you might lose. Doesn¡¯t this mean that Dream Team 1 is better than Dream Team 8? In fact, this problem is easy to explainbecause the basketball level of countries around the world has improved! In 1992, the basketball level of other countries in the world was too far behind that of the United States, so the Dream Team easily won the championship like chopping melons and vegetables. But in 2008, the level of basketball in various countries around the world had improved significantly compared to 1992. The American men's basketball team no longer had that overwhelming advantage, so the seemingly powerful Dream Eight team fell into trouble against the Spanish team. Fight hard. ??????????????????????????????????????? If the Dream Team is brought together to play against the Spanish team, the result will probably be the same, and it is even possible that they will lose by accident! After dinner, everyone went back to the dormitory to rest. We still have to train tomorrow morning (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 95 Screams in the audience You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! (Thanks to the fs manager for the 1,500 starting coins and monthly tickets!) The Australian men's basketball team was not weak at this time in 2001. They had just finished fourth at the Sydney Olympics last year and were definitely a strong team in the world of basketball. The New Zealand men¡¯s basketball team is not far behind either. Their performance in last year¡¯s Olympics was 11th, and the Chinese team was only 10th. The strength of the two sides is actually about the same. The Chinese men¡¯s basketball team chose Australia and New Zealand as warm-up opponents before this Asian Championships, also to test how good the team can be when facing strong opponents. There are a total of 4 warm-up matches this time. The match dates are July 3, 5, 7 and 9. The match locations are all Shanghai Luwan Stadium. This is a comprehensive stadium that can hold basketball, volleyball, handball, badminton, table tennis, weightlifting, martial arts and other sports competitions, with a total of 3,500 seats. Of course, this venue cannot be compared with the "Mercedes Benz Center Arena" that can accommodate 18,000 spectators in later generations, but given these conditions these days, there is no NBA-level indoor arena in China. At 7 pm on July 3, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team took a bus to the Luwan Stadium. They first performed some warm-up activities and then started playing. First, Barter made a powerful and heavy two-handed dunk, and then Wang Zhizhi made another one-handed split. The Australian men¡¯s basketball team was also warming up on the other side of the court. Seeing this situation, they were obviously unconvinced, so they also started a dunk performance. Especially the shooting guard Sam McKinen, who is 197cm tall. He came up with a very difficult turn and back dunk, which immediately caused a burst of exclamation from the fans at the scene. Hu Weidong threw the ball to Wang Dalin and said: "Dalin, come here too and give them some color!" "If he could be two or three years younger, Hu Weidong would have gone up and dunked on him. I think he was also famous as a spring man back then, otherwise he would not have been nicknamed "Chinese Jordan". But now that he is 31 years old, it is not difficult to dunk a simple dunk, but he is obviously unable to perform fancy dunks Now is the time to compete for face! Wang Dalin nodded after receiving the ball, then retreated behind the center circle before starting to run. After a few strides into the three-point line, the heel of his left foot stepped on the free throw line and flew into the air "Clang!" As his slender body flew through the entire three-second zone, he raised his arms and dunked the ball into the basket. This dunk is very simple, but the flying distance is really far. Wang Dalin¡¯s jumping is pretty good among big men, but he still can¡¯t compare with flying men like Kobe and Carter. He mainly relied on his long wingspan to barely slam the ball in. If he had jumped a few centimeters further away, he would have made a fool of himself on the spot. Don't doubt why Wang Dalin's 73cm jumping ability can perform difficult actions such as "free throw line dunk". In fact, as long as you have enough height and a certain jumping ability, a relatively light body, and long enough arms, you can complete " "Free throw line dunk" is not as difficult as everyone thinks. Just like Ibaka in later generations, his height and wingspan are not as good as Wang Dalin, and his weight is also larger. He performed this action in the dunk contest. His jumping ability is indeed slightly better than the current Wang Dalin, but Wang Dalin also has advantages in height, wingspan and weight, so it is not surprising that he can dunk like this. This dunk technique shocked everyone, and the Australian male basketball players were dumbfounded When did yellow people become so good at jumping? Although Australia has many players playing in the NBA in later generations, in fact they did not have any NBA players during this period. The future No. 1 pick in the draft, Bogut is still a high school student now! Following Wang Dalin's wonderful dunk performance, the audience suddenly burst into warm applause and cheers. Just in the front row of the half-time auditorium where the Chinese men's basketball team was warming up, a girl shouted at the top of her lungs: "Wang Dalin, I love you!" This was such a loud sound that the players on the field could still hear it clearly in such a noisy scene. Wang Dalin was a little confused. Hu Weidong patted him on the shoulder and said with a joking smile: "Dalin, you just returned to China a few days ago. Got a girlfriend?¡± Wang Zhizhi also came over and smiled: "Dalin, look the girl who said I love you is quite beautiful!" Wang Dalin also saw the beauty in the audience, she was indeed quite beautiful Nonsense! Can it not be beautiful? That is the future "Miss World" champion! Others don¡¯t recognize itNot enough - I can score more than ten or twenty points in a single game with NBA's defensive intensity for a long time. With the Australians' defensive skills of only making small moves, it's really not difficult to score! Isn¡¯t it just a small move? Who hasn¡¯t seen this before? I have been around Bruce Bowen for a long time, and I have long been tired of these tricks of yours! There were many NBA scouts in the audience, and Wang Zhizhi was naturally very excited. As soon as he came on the court, he continued to attack with the ball, beating the opponent's center Halliwell. One thing to say is that during this period, Wang Zhizhi's inside offensive skills were indeed at a very high level. As long as the opponent was not the type of player who always competes with you physically and mentally, he would usually be able to play with ease. ????????????????????????????????????? But when it comes to players who are strong and not slow, he will have a hard time playing or his physical strength is weak. After Wang Zhizhi made 3 of 5 shots and scored 6 points, Wang Dalin finally took a shot from the top of the three-point arc. The ball passed through the basket smoothly, creating a white "splash". The audience suddenly erupted in noise, and Zhang Zilin shouted loudly: "Wang Dalin, good job!" Wang Dalin smiled slightly and made a cool salute in the direction of Zhang Zilin on the stand. The audience immediately cheered and applauded even more enthusiastically. "This kid! Didn't he just score a three-pointer? Is it that exaggerated?" Liu Yudong and Hu Weidong looked at each other. They were both "veterans over thirty years old" and really couldn't understand today's young people. Wang Dalin actively returned to defense, taking advantage of the opponent's small forward Sindel just catching the ball, using his long arm to knock the ball out of his hand, and then dribbled toward the frontcourt like lightning. Sindel was so frightened that he immediately chased after him, but how could he catch up with Wang Dalin? He is allowed to play small forward because he is tall, but he is a pure power forward after all, weighing up to 115kg, and his speed is much slower than Wang Dalin, and Wang Dalin started earlier than him. Wang Dalin rushed to the frontcourt, and as soon as he stepped inside the free throw line, he flew into the air and performed a one-handed chop after gliding. His movements were extremely elegant. The fans in the audience never took a break from the beginning of the game and kept applauding, cheering and screaming. They did not expect that the Chinese men's basketball team was so strong and could beat the fourth place in the Olympics to such a miserable state. . Coach Gore called two timeouts just halfway through the first quarter, but the situation did not improve at all after the timeouts, and the Australian team was always at a disadvantage. ¡°In terms of strength, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team is not much better than the Australian team. It should be said that during this period, except for the United States team, the top ten teams in the entire world basketball world were all about the same strength, and no one was much better than the other. But sometimes the outcome of a game is not just based on the comparison of strength. For example, in this game the atmosphere at home is also very important. Amid the cheers and cheers of the home fans, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team played 120% of its strength, while the Australian team only played 80%. This is why some weak teams in the NBA have poor records, but they can often win at home This is not entirely a matter of strength! After halftime, the Chinese team led the Australian team by 11 points 48:37. The double-digit point difference was opened at halftime, and the opponent was a world-class team. The confidence of the Chinese team players was fully demonstrated. Coach Wang Fei was a bit dumbfounded. He originally wanted to find out more about the current team¡¯s problems against the Australian team, and Wang Dalin had only participated in three team training sessions when he came back. He wanted to take this opportunity to let Wang Dalin get a good run-in with his teammates. The result was good. The Chinese team's problems were not found, and Wang Dalin cooperated with his teammates as soon as he came on the field, as if he had been training together for several months. On the contrary, it was the Australian team that had a lot of problems. After halftime, coach Wang Fei put Wang Dalin on the bench He had no choice but to let Wang Dalin continue to play in the second half. This warm-up match would be in vain. The warm-up matchis mainly to expose problems. Is it so important whether we win or not? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 96 Where to go next season You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! (Thanks to "Michael Kobe" for the 600 starting coins! Thanks to "Plain is True" for the 100 starting coins!) Coach Wang Fei thought that the Australian team would reverse the situation immediately after Wang Dalin came off the field, but he did not expect that the Chinese team would still be strong in the third quarter, winning another 4 points in a single quarter. Including the 11-point lead in the first half, the Chinese team has led by as much as 15 points after three quarters. This is a game under fiba rules. Each quarter is only 10 minutes. Leading by 15 points after three quarters is not a small number! For the Australian team, it is too difficult to recover a 15-point gap in one game. According to NBA rules, if there is still so much difference after three more minutes, it will almost be considered garbage time. Some people say that 15 points is not a big difference? Isn¡¯t it just a matter of five three-pointers? Don¡¯t look at the games of this era from the perspective of the small ball era. Players these days will not shoot so many three-pointers in a game! Even Antoine Walker, who took the most three-pointers in the NBA last season, only averaged 7.4 attempts from beyond the three-point line per game, and he only hit 2.7 goals per game. ??Among the players who average more than 5 three-pointers per game, only Ray Allen and Vince Carter shoot above 40%. Coach Gore also thought that the game was lost. He did not arrange too many tactics after the three quarters. Unexpectedly, after the fourth quarter began, the Australian team suddenly hit a small climax and chased the score in just 3 minutes and 48 seconds. Arrived at 67:73. From a great situation of leading by 15 points, they were suddenly chased down to only leading by 6 points. The Chinese team players were beaten a little confused. Coach Wang Fei quickly called a timeout. Everyone was in a bad state. He had to give everyone reassurance, otherwise the game might be turned into a victory by the Australian team. "What's wrong with you all? Why do I feel like you are all players from an amateur sports school?" Coach Wang Fei said with a joking smile, "Cheer up and keep an eye on your own people and don't let them surprise you." Score inside! Don't worry about offense, just hand the ball to Dalin when you get to the frontcourt!" Wang Dalin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but feel happy Wow! I thought I could only sit on the bench for this game, but it turns out I can still play? After the timeout, the two sides continued to play. The Chinese team¡¯s lineup has made some adjustments, replacing the slow-moving Barter and replacing him with Wang Dalin. "Young general" Yao Ming moved to the center position, while the power forward was Wang Zhizhi, and Wang Dalin moved to the third position. McKinning, who had just made consecutive breakthroughs on the Australian team, was dumbfounded. Since Wang Dalin did not play in the third quarter, Coach Gore assigned him to play small forward at the beginning of the fourth quarter. There is one thing to say, this arrangement is actually very reasonable. McKinen is better than Li Nan and Zhang Jinsong who were on the court before in both technical and physical fitness, so he can succeed in consecutive singles. But now the opposing player suddenly changed to Wang Dalin, and McKinning suddenly had a bad feeling. Sure enough, as soon as Wang Dalin came on the court, he scored a three-pointer and then blocked McKinen's pull-up jumper on the defensive end. With this ball, McKinen swore that he had already pushed Wang Dalin away by more than one position, but for a monster with wingspan like Wang Dalin, is just one position enough? Unless you are as tall as Garnett, or you can jump like Kobe or McGrady, then with this little shooting spaceit is really not safe! Wang Dalin played a wonderful performance as soon as he came up. The Chinese team players immediately regained their confidence, and both offense and defense returned to the state of the first three quarters. Coach Wang Fei couldn¡¯t help but smile when he saw this sceneWith Wang Dalin, the game will be much simpler. In the past, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team was often at a loss when encountering difficulties. Even if the coach called a timeout and arranged tactics, everyone was unable to implement the coach¡¯s deployment on the court. This is also a problem that the Chinese men's basketball team often made in the past. If they encounter weak teams like these in Asia, it's okay. They are strong enough to crush their opponents anyway. It may result in losing. In short, the psychological quality is still not good! Which of these men¡¯s basketball players is not a powerful figure in the domestic CBA league? But when they arrived at the international arena, they often fell behind, so much so that they were angrily scolded by fans as "experts in civil war and amateurs in foreign wars." Indeed, most of their opponents in the CBA league are domestic players. Even if each team has one or two foreign players, the levelThe phone was turned off, and Schwartz had already called several times during that time. The NBA trading market has opened on July 1, and Schwartz made several phone calls to him, obviously about contract quotations. "Wang, you finally called me back!" Schwartz's tone didn't sound anxious, but rather slow, "Listen to me, I'm afraid you have to come back this time!" "Oh? Which team is it? What kind of offer was given?" "It's Detroit. They gave you a four-year offer of $45.8 million, with the last year as a player option. This is already a maximum salary contract. Even if other teams offer you an offer, the most it can only be the amount of this offer. It¡¯s just equal! So, I think you should come back as soon as possible. I have made an appointment with someone from the Pistons to have an interview in my office tomorrow." "It's the PistonsOkayI'll ask Director Wang Fei and Director Ji for leave right away, and try to get on the plane tonight!" ¡­¡­ In fact, Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t like the Detroit Pistons very much, mainly because this team has been ¡°stained with bad records¡± in the 1980s, and the reputation of the ¡°Bad Boys Legion¡± is really not very good. And the Pistons' record last season was not very good, ranking 10th in the Eastern Conference. If calculated based on winning percentage, they could only rank 21st among the 29 teams in the league. Although Wang Dalin knows that the Pistons will rise from the ashes next season and they will eventually finish second in the Eastern Conference, he still doesn't like this team. How good are the Lakers? If you go there, you can hug the thighs of "OK Group"! The king is not bad, right? If you join this Kings team, you might be able to defeat the Lakers in the Western Conference finals. Originally, they were only a little bit behind! Are the Nets good in the East? Can you score less if you play next to Kidd? I can fill up my stomach just by eating the cake! PistonsI always feel like this team is full of dark sides! But now that the Pistons have given him a maximum salary offer, even if other teams also offer him, it will only be this amount at most, and it cannot be higher. ¡°And Schwartz is so anxious to get him back, it seems that it¡¯s not just about signing a contract. ¡­¡­ Wang Dalin's request for leave from Wang Fei and Ji Zhixin went very smoothly. The team had just won, and Wang Dalin was getting along well with his teammates. His return to the United States would only delay a warm-up match at most. Coach Wang Fei even thinks this is good. Without Wang Dalin, wouldn¡¯t he be able to better inspect the team? With Ji Zhixin¡¯s help in booking air tickets, Wang Dalin saved a lot of trouble and got on the plane to New York at 11 o¡¯clock that night. This time he was going to Schwartz¡¯s office on Wall Street, not back to Miami. There happened to be a direct flight from Shanghai to New York, so he didn¡¯t have to change planes. After a 14-hour flight, Wang Dalin arrived in New York, took a taxi and went directly to Wall Street. Schwartz¡¯s company is easy to find. Wang Dalin found it after a little asking. The front desk of the company was a very "breasted" blonde beauty. As soon as she saw Wang Dalin, she enthusiastically led him to Schwartz's office. "Wang, you came so quickly!" Schwartz smiled and stood up, shook hands with him, pointed at the other two people in the office and said with a smile, "Let me introduce these two to you" Wang Dalin interrupted him with a smile: "No introduction is needed, I know both of them!" They are both black and white, and both are quite tall. The black man¡¯s name is Joe Dumars, who was a member of the Pistons¡¯ ¡°Bad Boys¡± and is now the general manager of the Pistons. In fact, the white man is not well-known, because he was only an assistant coach before this. He just came to the Pistons after last season and became the current head coach of the Pistons. Yes, he is one of the most famous NBA coaches in later generations - Rick Carlisle! How could a senior fan like Wang Dalin not recognize this famous NBA coach who looks exactly like Hollywood star Jim Carrey? Of course, it was even more impossible for him not to recognize Joe Dumas. Wang Dalin shook hands with both of them and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you two to come because of me. I'm really flattered!" There was a glint in Dumas' eyes, and he said with a half-smile: "Darling King, you don't have to belittle yourself. Based on your performance last season, I have every reason to believe that you will become one of the few superstars in the league in the future!" Carlisle also said: "Yes, I think so too! Wang, I know other teams can also provide you with maximum salary offers, and I heard that Seattle, Cleveland, Chicago and Orlando are already preparing to offer you a maximum salary." A maximum salary offer Of course you have more choices, but I think you will definitely choose Detroit!" Wang Dalin sat on the sofa and smiled slightly: "Why?" ¡­¡­(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)Choose Detroit! " Wang Dalin sat on the sofa and smiled slightly: "Why?" ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 97 Next Stop¡ªDetroit You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! (Thanks to Fengjuan @·HÓÀ for the monthly ticket encouragement! This chapter is the fifth chapter that Lao Wang updated today. Each chapter is a 4,000-word chapter. Friends, please work hard! Thank you very much!) Hearing Wang Dalin ask why, Carlisle smiled and said: "Because no team can offer you conditions as good as the Pistons! I think your first consideration should be the team's status, right?" Wang Dalin said with great interest: "Yes, of course the team's status is very important! What position will the Pistons give me?" Carlisle stretched out a finger: "I promise you, as long as you join the Pistons, you will be the core of our team's offense and the first core of our team building!" Wang Dalin couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that Carlisle would use him, a rookie who had just played for one season, as the core of the team. This is really extraordinary! But this is just a verbal promise from Carlisle. Wang Dalin is not naive enough to think that he will definitely be able to fulfill this promise, because Dumas is still sitting next to him! When it comes to his position in the Pistons, this is the one who can really make the final decision. Wang Dalin turned to look at Dumas, who smiled slightly and said slowly: "Wang, you don't have to doubt Rick's words. Since I invited him to be the head coach of the Pistons, I will maintain full trust in him! " "Then I want to ask, how do you plan to arrange Jerry?" Wang Dalin asked, "If I am the first core of the team, then who is Jerry?" The "Jerry" Wang Dalin refers to is Jerry Stackhouse, the Pistons' scoring leader last season and a super scorer who averaged 29.8 points per game! ??And Stackhouse is just 26 years old now and is at the peak of his career. He is not the type of veteran who is already in his thirties and has no potential. It¡¯s normal for him to have such concerns. If someone like Stackhouse is still on the team, how can he become the first core? Dumas said calmly: "We will send Jerry away!" As soon as these words came out, not only Wang Dalin's eyes widened in shock, but Schwartz was also shocked Obviously Dumas and the others did not tell him this. After being surprised, Wang Dalin forced himself to calm down and asked: "But if you send Jerry away, the team's strength will inevitably decline. How can we perform well in the new season?" Although Stackhouse prefers to shoot wildly and has a relatively low shooting percentage, he was still the second-ranked super scorer in the scoring list last season. Without such an important combat power, the Pistons' strength will definitely decline significantly. . Even if Wang Dalin joins the Pistons, he doesn't think he has the ability to average 29.8 points per game at this stage Such a big scoring gap cannot be made up by ordinary players! Carlisle smiled and said: "Who in the league doesn't know Jerry's strength? You don't think we can't get one or two good players in exchange for him, do you?" Dumas still said with a calm expression: "You don't have to worry about this, we have started operations, and it is estimated that the results will be available in two to three weeks at most!" It seems that the Pistons have started to deal with Stackhouse. Wang Dalin breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I have to say, you are very sincere!" Carlisle smiled and said: "King, these are not the only conditions we offer you! Joe, how about you tell us our third condition?" Dumas smiled and said: "Okay! Wang, I think Rick's team-building idea in the next few years is very clear, and that is to build the entire team around you. I also very much agree with his team-building idea, so We will try to seek your opinions when making transactions or drafting, and to put it bluntly you have the right to participate in part of the team management!" Wang Dalin's expression gradually became stagnant, and his heart was already filled with turmoil. This condition is too good, right? Schwartz's breathing was a bit heavier. He is not yet the league's leading gold medal agent in the future, and he has never seen such a scene. However, even if he has not experienced it personally, how can he "have never eaten pork and never seen a pig run"? As a professional agent, how can you not know isn't this kind of condition only the top superstars in the NBA are eligible to enjoy? Wang Dalin, his young employer is still a rookie who has only played for one season? Is it really worth the money the Pistons spend? From Schwartz¡¯s perspective, he also felt that Dumas and Carlisle were too courageous! It can¡¯t even be said simply?From the perspective of this person with forward-looking vision Who said that to be tall, you have to play inside? ?Isn¡¯t Kevin Durant, who is 211cm tall, a small forward? Ben Simmons is 208cm tall and he plays point guard! Even in this era, there have been "magicians" like "Magic" who were more than two meters tall and played point guard. Is height so important for position? Otherwise, why would you let Ben Wallace play center? With his height, how suitable is he to play small forward? As a person with a "force system", Wang Dalin has a clear understanding of all his abilities. He understands that he can only exert his greatest power in the small forward position. Carlisle is indeed a discerning NBA coach, and he can actually make the decision to let him play small forward. For this reason alone, he is better than most coaches in the league. However, as mentioned before, Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t like the Pistons very much. Yes, the "Bad Boys" of the 1980s were indeed notorious, but that doesn't mean that the current Pistons are as dirty as they are. They just defend tough and have a tenacious style, but they don¡¯t actually do many dirty tricks. If the style of play is dirtier than the style of play, the old thief Pop's Spurs team is much dirtier! Wang Dalin just doesn¡¯t like the Pistons very much, and he doesn¡¯t dislike them very much. In his previous life, he was just an otaku who loved to play 2k games. How could a Chinese hate a certain NBA team? It's a relationship that can't be fought with eight poles! Fatty Morey: Don¡¯t I hate it? Old thief Bobo: I also have the idea to let Wang Dalin try out for the Spurs? Adam¡¯s joke: Don¡¯t make trouble, I¡¯m not on stage yet! ¡­¡­ The signing went smoothly, but it still depends on the reaction of the Heat. After all, they have the right to match the contract offer given by any team, and the time limit is 48 hours. If the Heat does not match within 48 hours, then Wang Dalin will officially become a member of the Pistons. Of course, both Wang Dalin and Schwartz know that it is impossible for the Heat to match because their salary space is simply not enough. Even though the Heat are preparing to trade Hardaway and Mason this season, their total salary still exceeds US$50 million, which has exceeded the salary cap of US$42.5 million. Unless Riley is willing to give up Mourning, the Heat simply cannot match this contract. Is Riley willing to give up Mourning? If Riley¡¯s attitude toward Wade in 2014 was anything to go by, he would have cold-bloodedly abandoned this proud disciple who had followed him for many years. But it¡¯s still 2001, and Riley is not the cold-blooded ¡°divine fortune teller¡± he will become in later generations, so he won¡¯t give up on Mourning. So when Wang Dalin and Riley talked on the phone, the head coach, who was known as "cold-blooded" in the eyes of later generations, spoke with a heavy tone and a hint of helplessness. "Wang, I'm sorry, the Heat can't match your contract!" Riley said, "You know I appreciate you very much. You also contributed to the team last season, but we really can't keep you!" "It's nothing, Coach Pat, please don't say sorry to me!" Wang Dalin pretended to be relaxed, "I know the rules everything is just business, isn't it?" Riley smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, everything is just business!" ¡­¡­ After Wang Dalin signed the contract, he immediately called Riley to tell Riley the news, and then called all his Heat teammates. Everyone looked very sad, and Wang Dalin felt uncomfortable. After all, we have been together for nearly a year, and our relationship is still good. After the phone call, he flew back to Shanghai directly. When he returned to Shanghai, it was already past 5 pm on July 5. He took a taxi directly to the Luwan Stadium - the warm-up match didn't start until 8 pm, so he still had time to finish his dinner without any rush. Coach Wang Fei actually doesn¡¯t want Wang Dalin to play in tonight¡¯s game. First of all, it¡¯s because Wang Dalin has traveled for more than ten hours and has to play the game just after getting off the plane It¡¯s really a bit too reluctant! Secondly, he also hopes to have a good look at the team without Wang Dalin, and try to expose more problems. But Wang Dalin told him on the phone that as long as he was included in the game roster, it didn't matter whether he could play or not. Coach Wang Fei was naturally happy to see this kind of request come true and readily agreed to him. ¡°I guess coach Wang Fei didn¡¯t expect how much pressure he would be under when the game started at 8 o¡¯clock in the evening (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)lnovel.com Chapter 98 Rumored Girlfriend (1) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On July 5th, the first warm-up match between the Chinese team and the New Zealand team also started on time at 8 p.m. Although Wang Dalin appeared at the Shanghai Luwan Stadium, he always wore a sports jacket of the national team and did not even take off his trousers during warm-up. The audience in the stands were a little confused, but seeing that Wang Dalin was very serious during the warm-up and even performed two dunks, they didn't take it seriously. When the game started, Wang Dalin sat on the bench with no intention of playing at all. Although the audience was a little confused, they thought coach Wang Fei would let Wang Dalin lead the bench. However, until the first half was almost over, Wang Dalin still did not appear, and now the audience gave up. Zhang Zilin shouted at the top of his lungs in the stands, "We want Wang DalinWang DalinWang Dalin" It didn¡¯t matter what she shouted. The audience in the stands gradually started shouting after her, and the voice suddenly became louder and louder, until the entire audience was shouting in unison: "Wang DalinWang DalinWang Dalin" Wang Dalin actually thinks it¡¯s quite interesting. It doesn¡¯t really matter whether he plays or not. Anyway, he just slept for more than ten hours on the plane and is in good spirits now! Coach Wang Fei was a little speechless. Sweat started to form on his forehead. He didn¡¯t know whether it was because the arena¡¯s air conditioning was not strong or because of the shouts from the audience These audiences were too noisy, right? In a basketball game, it is the head coach¡¯s freedom to let anyone play or not. If this was an official game of the Asian Championships, no matter how loud the crowd was, Coach Wang Fei would not pay attention to it, but this was just a warm-up match after all and there were two or three minutes left in the first half, and the Chinese team had already 7 points behind. The situation on the field was not good. The Chinese team played very passively in the first half, and the players generally had a bad touch. They failed to make shots in many wide open shots. Although coach Wang Fei has fully estimated the difficulty of the game, he still underestimated the New Zealand team. After all, this is a team that just finished 11th in the Olympics last year. It still has three pounds of nails to break the boat, not to mention that the New Zealand team really can't be considered a "broken boat". ¡°If we really change the place and bring the New Zealand team over to play in the Asian Championships, as long as there is no Chinese team participating, they will win the championship. In Oceania, the New Zealand team often competes with the Australian team for the championship. Each has its own win or loss. It is really not much worse than the Australian team. In fact, even Wang Dalin, a "veteran fan", no longer remembers that it was this New Zealand team that reached the semi-finals of the World Men's Basketball Championship in 2002. They were defeated in the semi-finals against the powerful Yugoslavia. The final score It was 89:78, and the defeat was not overwhelming. The New Zealand team that the Chinese team is currently facing is almost the same team that will participate in the World Championships next year. Can they not be strong? Anyway, Wang Dalin, who was sitting in the audience, felt that the New Zealand team was stronger than the Australian team. If the fight continued like this, the Chinese team would definitely lose. The audience at the scene was still shouting in unison: "Wang DalinWang DalinWang Dalin" Wang Dalin looked at coach Wang Fei, and coach Wang Fei happened to be turning his head to look at him. The two looked at each other, and coach Wang Fei looked a little embarrassed in his eyes. "Da Lin, it seems you have to come on stage!" ¡°Okay, Director Wang, it¡¯s up to me!¡± When the ball was knocked out of the sideline, coach Wang Fei quickly called a timeout, arranged some offensive and defensive tactics, and then replaced Wang Dalin on the court. On the bench of the New Zealand team, head coach Baldwin frowned because he saw Wang Dalin had taken off his trousers and was jumping around to warm up. He brought the whole team to watch the game the night before yesterday. Wang Dalin's performance left a very deep impression on him. He believed that if Wang Dalin had not played the night before yesterday, the Chinese team would have probably lost to the Australian team. The same goes for tonight. They led by 7 points in the first half without Wang Dalin playing. Now that Wang Dalin looks like he is going to play, will the New Zealand team also make the same mistake as the Australian team the night before? Baldwin was indeed very afraid of Wang Dalin, but he could not sit still and immediately arranged for the team's best defensive forward Pero Cameron to specifically guard Wang Dalin. And he also told the star player Mark Dickel to use pick-and-roll changes to hit Wang Dalin as much as possible, trying to break through and draw a few fouls from him. Seeing Wang Dalin finally arriveZhang Zilin was not the only one shouting. Many young girls in the stands also started shouting. Wang Dalin didn't have time to think about it, so he could only smile and wave at Zhang Zilin, and quickly walked into the player tunnel. In the players tunnel, Wang Zhizhi came over and put his hand on Wang Dalin's shoulder and said with a smile: "It was this girl the day before yesterday, and she is here again today. Dalin, shouldn't you explain to everyone?" Hu Weidong also smiled and said: "Yes tell me honestly, is this girl the girlfriend you made after returning to China? I said you are very fast. You have met such a beautiful girl in just a few days?" Several other teammates also shouted: "Hurry up and explain, if you confess, you will be lenient, if you resist, you will be stern" Wang Dalin¡¯s face turned red and he said hurriedly: ¡°What kind of girlfriend? Don¡¯t talk nonsense, okay? I¡¯m only 17 years old!¡± Li Nan came over and smiled: "Okay, I dare to say that she is not your girlfriend. How do you know that she is 17 years old?" Wang Dalin was startled for a moment, his face turned even redder, and he thought to himself: "Oops, I accidentally let it slip now it's like 'yellow mud is stuck on the crotch, it's either shit or shit'." Fortunately, coach Wang Fei was urging from the front: "What are you doing? Why are you dilly-dallying? Why don't you go faster?" Everyone quickly walked back to the locker room, and Wang Dalin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the locker room, he saw coach Wang Fei approaching with a smile and asked in a low voice: "Da Lin, is that girl really your girlfriend just now?" Wang Dalin was about to cry without tears: "That's really not my girlfriend" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 99: Rumored Girlfriend (2) (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter!

The locker room of the Chinese Men¡¯s Basketball Team at Shanghai Luwan Stadium was full of laughter. Even head coach Wang Fei couldn¡¯t help but tease Wang Dalin. How could others let go of this opportunity to make fun of him? But it¡¯s just a joke, after all, the game is not over yet. Coach Wang Fei severely criticized the players¡¯ performance in the first half. Except for Hu Weidong and Wang Dalin, who were not criticized, everyone else was scolded. "Look at how you guys are playing? It doesn't matter if you can't make a shot, but you can't even defend hard? Do you want me to teach you about blocking and rebounding? Yes, the opponent's point guard's breakthrough is quite fierce. , I really can¡¯t defend it, will there be a foul? Can you guys be smarter on the court?¡± ¡°I have to say that Coach Wang Fei¡¯s scolding was indeed harsh, and he really hated the iron. Without Wang Dalin and Hu Weidong scoring two goals each, the Chinese team would have been in the lead in the first half, and they would have burned incense and prayed to Buddha if they could have maintained the point difference without widening it. Hu Weidong¡¯s performance is good, but Hu is a 31-year-old veteran after all. Is it possible that we can still count on him to turn the tide every time? The young men in the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team who are in their prime are usually the main players in their respective clubs, and their performance in the league is also better than the last, but why can¡¯t they play well in the national team? In the last game, the downwind was okay, and the players had good touch. This game, they encountered a tough situation and were immediately knocked back to their original shape. Coach Wang Fei couldn't help but thought to himself: "The psychological quality is still poor! When these boys can keep a calm mind when facing world-class teams and can perform like they usually do in the CBA League, they will not Weaker than others." Turning around, he saw that Wang Dalin was sitting aside in a daze. Coach Wang Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "It would be great if there were one or two more players like Wang Dalin in China! Fortunately, he will go to the NBA soon. I believe he will be in the NBA soon." NBA will definitely become stronger after one or two years of training!" Wang Dalin was not in a daze, he was wondering why Zhang Zilin was still in Shanghai, and he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. This guy also has low emotional intelligence. Even now, he still can¡¯t believe the fact that Zhang Zilin is already his little crush. The few times he co-wrote ¡°I love you¡± with Zhang Zilin were in vain. "If he had had rich emotional experiences in his previous life, this situation probably wouldn't have happened. Unfortunately, he was just a fat loser in his previous life. At the age of 39, let alone getting married, he had never had a serious relationship with his girlfriend. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In this life, he is already in Miami. He can no longer remember whether he had a puppy love when he was a teenager. After joining the Heat, it was even more difficult to live between the gym and home. I didn¡¯t even buy any decent clothes. How could I still fall in love? ¡°Maybe this guy feels that he is still young in this life, so he hasn¡¯t thought about this Isn¡¯t it true that in the United States, you are not even allowed to drink alcohol? He never thought that at the age of 19, he was already an adult in China. Many people who did not go to college were already working to make money. So, despite the fact that he is quite mature in dealing with people, in fact he is still a complete newbie in the field of love, worse than many high school students. Wang Dalin continued to play in the second half of the game, but coach Wang Fei only allowed him to play for 6 minutes in the third quarter. Wang Dalin was replaced by Zhang Jinsong. Since the requirements of the fans at the scene have been met, continuing to put Wang Dalin on the court is not in line with coach Wang Fei¡¯s tactical arrangements, and it cannot fully achieve the goals of training and inspecting the team. ????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside of the 6 minutes that Wang Dalin came on the court, the Chinese team was already 11 points ahead. If he were to continue playing this game would end early again. Wang Dalin has such an effect as soon as he comes on the court. It does not mean that he is better than many NBA stars. He can only be regarded as a qualified main player in the NBA league at present. Being the second in command of a weak team is just so-so. , it would be a bit reluctant to let him be the boss of the team. What the Pistons value is his future potential, not his current ability. To compare, Stackhouse, who is about to be traded away, is higher than his current level. &n?Girlfriend? " Wang Dalin answered resolutely: "No!" Zhang Cheng put his arm around his shoulders and said, "We are buddies, you can't lie to me?" Wang Dalin said seriously: "I didn't lie to you, she is really not my girlfriend!" Zhang Cheng let go of his hand and said: "Okay, then I am no longer a 'friend's wife, no one can play with'. Can you introduce this girl to me?" "Huh?" Wang Dalin was shocked and was speechless for a long time. Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "Lookshe is not your girlfriend. I am also single now. The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. Is there anything wrong with you introducing her to me?" Wang Dalin hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, this girl is only 17 years old, not yet an adult. You can't do this kind of thing!" Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "What are you thinking? I didn't say that I would fall in love with her now, so just introduce us to her first! Regardless of whether it works or not, you won't make a mistake by getting to know her first, right?" Wang Dalin was stunned again, and then said: "Okay, you can follow me after the game is over and see if she comes to see me!" Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "Good brother, I would like to say thank you first!" Wang Dalin hurriedly said: "Let me say it first, I can't guarantee that she will definitely come to see me, and I don't have her contact information, so don't have too much hope!" Zhang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "No problem! Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I will always support you, brother!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 100 Occasionally, you can copy advertising slogans (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Zhang Cheng's wish to "accept" Wang Dalin's love was in vain. Zhang Zilin left the arena directly after the game, and Wang Dalin could only express his helplessness. By the way, the Chinese team won this game in the end, although it was only by a narrow margin of 2 points. On the evening of July 7th and 9th, the Chinese team played two more warm-up matches. Wang Dalin only played about 15 minutes in both games. In the end, the Chinese team lost by about 5 points. This is also normal. When Wang Dalin does not play, the current Chinese team can also brush up its presence in Asia. When encountering world-class teams, it still loses more and wins less. But it is not without gains. First of all, veteran Hu Weidong is in very good condition. He averaged 19.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game in these four games, and his three-point shooting percentage was even as high as 55%. There is also the young player Yao Ming. This Shanghai center who is not yet 21 years old gave coach Wang Fei an unexpected surprise. He only averaged 16 minutes of playing time per game and averaged 10 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks. If calculated by unit time, Yao Ming's performance in these games is better than Wang Zhizhi. Of course, he averaged 2.5 turnovers in 16 minutes per game, which also fully demonstrated the immature side of young players. Wang Dalin¡¯s performance is undoubtedly the best in this Chinese team. His average playing time per game is similar to that of Yao Ming, but his statistics are on par with Hu Weidong, and his shooting percentage is even higher than that of Hu Weidong. The most disappointing performance in this warm-up match was the "Xiaoyao King" Gong Xiaobin. Due to multiple hidden injuries, the veteran did not dare to exert force in the game and his performance was very dismal. If the national team roster had not been decided, coach Wang Fei would have even wanted to choose a backup power forward The 17-year-old Yi Jianlian from Guangdong seems to have great potential! After the game on the night of the 9th, there were still 11 days until the opening of the Asian Championships. The members of the Chinese men's basketball team also received a rare seven-day holiday. Since the closed training camp began in May, the members of the Chinese men's basketball team have never enjoyed such a long vacation. Everyone was very happy and packed their bags and went home. Wang Dalin originally wanted to go back to Chongqing, but Schwartz suddenly flew to Shanghai, so he had to change his plan temporarily. The reason why Schwartz suddenly came to Shanghai was because of the endorsement deal. First of all, Wang Dalin must attend the launch ceremony and on-site signing event of his "Vulcan Generation" basketball shoes. This is the first basketball shoe carefully crafted for him by the "Li Ning" company. The launch ceremony is scheduled to be held in Shanghai for the purpose of Convenient for Wang Dalin. (Wang Dalin: It would be better if it was held in Chongqing. I can go home and see Mom and Dad) Secondly, Wang Dalin also had to participate in the filming of the "Vulcan Generation" commercials. It is said that "Li Ning" company carefully created a trilogy series of advertising scripts this time, and also invited the famous advertising director Yang Dajian to come out. The name Yang Dajian may be unfamiliar to many people. He is definitely not comparable to Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, and Jiang Wen in the mainland. Major directors such as Tsui Hark, John Woo, and Johnnie To in Hong Kong and Taiwan are even more popular than him. . However, this person will be one of the "Top Ten Advertising Directors in China" in later generations. Even in 2001, he was already well-known in the advertising industry. "Li Ning" company must have spent a lot of money to invite him from Beijing to Shanghai this time. In addition, Schwartz has received invitations from many businesses in China some time ago. These brands include "Wahaha", "Metus Bonwe", "Harbin Beer", "Old Sichuan Beef Jerky", "Tyrannosaurus Glasses" ", "Lenovo computers", "waveguide mobile phones" and so on. At that time, Schwartz was working hard to secure Wang Dalin¡¯s salary contract, so he never had the opportunity to go to China to have detailed discussions with these companies. Now that Wang Dali's next contract has been settled, he quickly came to Shanghai after finishing what he was doing. Specific negotiations definitely don¡¯t require Wang Dalin¡¯s presence, and the problem of language barriers between the two parties can be easily solved by hiring a translator. The shooting location of the advertisement is on the Bund in Shanghai. The character played by Wang Dalin is named "Guo Lingfeng"a name that has a very martial arts flavor (interested friends can read Lao Wang's previous book "Film and Television Adventure System"). The plot of the first commercial is probably like this¡ª¡ª A group of teenagers fighting bullfights in a street basketball court were sweating and passionate in the sun. As a result, one teenager failed to dunk in the middle. The upper of the "Nike" sneakers on his feet also tore a big hole, and he had to end sadly. This young man sat on the sidelines and watched his friends continue to play on the court.Could it be that he wants to imitate Aunt Dandan and give him a sentence - "Very Coke, the fighter among Cokes?" I guess Zong Qinghou could just buy the murderer and sink him to the bottom of the Huangpu River, right? Wang Dalin racked his brains and even thought of those advertisements for "Pepsi" Pepsi's advertisements are quite classic, but are they all about inviting a bunch of celebrities to paint their faces? Suddenly he slapped his forehead and said kindly to Zong Qing: "Mr. Zong, I thought of something, I don't know if it will work!" Zong Qinghou said without comment: "Da Lin, please tell me first." Although he flew all the way to Shanghai to meet Wang Dalin, he also knew that Wang Dalin had created very classic advertising slogans for "Li Ning" and "Harbin Beer". After seeing Wang Dalin, he still didn't believe that this young man could actually Such amazing creativity. "Very Coke" currently has a domestic market share of about 15%. Although it is the leader in domestic carbonated drinks, it is still far behind "Coca-Cola" and "Pepsi". Zong Qinghou attaches great importance to this product and hopes to further expand the market share of "Very Coke" and even surpass the two major "foreign brands". ??????????????????????????????????????????? But the advertising slogan ¡°Very Coca-Cola, Very Choice¡± is already awesome, and he really doesn¡¯t believe that Wang Dalin can come up with something better. Wang Dalin pointed to the national flag on the chest of his sportswear and said slowly: "It's very Coke, the Chinese people's own Coke What do you think?" Zong Qinghou tasted it carefully for more than ten seconds, and a smile appeared on his face: "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age, I admire him" ? ? Okay, another 1 million has been made (Remember this website¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 101 I really don¡¯t want to abuse food (the third update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On July 20, the 21st Asian Men¡¯s Basketball Championship opened grandly in Shanghai. A total of 14 teams came to participate this time. They are: Group A: China, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, Qatar; Group B: South Korea, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Lebanon; Group C: India, Chinese Taipei, Uzbekistan; Group d: Japan, Kuwait, Syria; The opening ceremony was held at 19:45 on the evening of July 20. In fact, five first-stage matches of the group stage were held during the day, including Japan beating Kuwait 86:78, Hong Kong, China, losing to Qatar 42:72, and South Korea 124. :51 bloodbathed Singapore, Chinese Taipei beat India 85:55, and the United Arab Emirates narrowly lost to Lebanon 69:70. Just as the opening ceremony was in progress, Wang Dalin suddenly heard a "ding" in his mind, and the system issued another temporary task. ¡°It has been detected that the host is about to represent the national team in an international A-level event, and the system has issued a temporary mission ¡®King of Asia¡¯!¡± "'King of Asia' Task 1: The host is already an NBA starting-level player. He must show dominance beyond everyone in Asian games. Therefore, this task requires the host to average no less than 35 points per game in this men's Asian Basketball Championship. Points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals, and no more than 2 turnovers per game! Reward for completing the task: The host can designate any ability value to be increased to the current upper limit." "'King of Asia' mission two: Break the record for the largest point difference in the history of the Men's Basketball Asian Championship! Reward for completing the task: The host can designate any ability value to be increased to the current upper limit. (Note: The current history of the Men's Basketball Asian Championship The record for the largest point difference is 127 points!)¡± "'King of Asia' Mission 3: Break the Chinese Men's Basketball Asian Championship average point differential record! Reward for completing the task: The host can designate any ability value to be increased to the current upper limit. (Note: The current Men's Basketball Asian Championship venue The average winning margin is 46.44 points!)¡± "'King of Asia' Task 4: Score more than 50 points in a single game against the Japanese team! Reward for completing the task: A chance to draw the skills of an A-level star." ¡­¡­ After reading the four tasks, Wang Dalin couldn't help but secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva The rewards of these tasks are great, but are they too difficult? In his opinion, the last task is still possible to achieve. It is not like he has never achieved 50 points in a single game in the NBA although it was in a cheating state. Aren¡¯t the other three tasks too difficult? ?? Let¡¯s talk about the first item first. Even if he is given sufficient playing time, it will be extremely difficult to achieve this kind of average data in a game under fiba rules. No one in the Chinese men's basketball team has ever done it in history, and neither will future generations! Second, you have to beat your opponent by 128 points Do you really think that beating someone else's national team is like beating a primary school student? (Curry: Who is arranging me again?) Third, the average margin of victory over opponents is more than 46.44 points per game? The damn "Dream Team" didn't even make it to the Barcelona Olympics! Yes, the Chinese team was really good in the 1979 Asian Championships, but it has been more than 20 years, okay? In modern basketball, it is very rare to beat the opponent by more than 30 points in 8 consecutive games in an international A-level competition, let alone 46.44 points? Wang Dalin was very entangled in his heart. On the one hand, he felt that this was a great opportunity for him to improve. On the other hand, he always felt that it was impossible for him to complete such a perverted task. After thinking for a long time, he could only sigh and said something to himself in his heart. : "Oh, try your best!" ¡­¡­ After the opening ceremony, the host Chinese team finally made their appearance, and their opponent was the Thai team. Wang Dalin really doesn¡¯t know much about this Thai team. He only vaguely remembers that most of the team is amateur players, and they are also surprisingly short. When he saw these players who looked like refugees, he felt a sense of sympathy in his heart Brothers, you look too miserable, don't you? Is it because there is no food to eat? ¡°I saw that all the Thai team players were sallow and thin, and the tallest center on the entire team was just over 2 meters tall, not as tall as Gong Xiaobin If they had dark skin, Wang Dalin would probably mistake them for African refugees. How could Wang Dalin be interested in this kind of cruel competition? But we had to try our best to complete the task, so a very interesting scene happened on the field. ¡° Wang Dalin seemed to be on a roll. Not only did he do everything on the offensive end, but he also tried his best on the defensive end. His teammates were a little dumbfounded. ¡°Brother¡­what are you going to do? "The Thai team doesn't have any deep hatred against us. Is there any need to beat them to death like this?" ? ??Dalin took crazy shots in this game. He made 23 of 38 shots, including 9 of 12 three-pointers and 9 of 9 free throws. He scored 64 points, 14 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals. It was simply terrifying! Wang Dalin went all out, and the result of the game was naturally nothing to say. The Chinese team bloodbathed their opponents 140:37, creating the fourth largest point difference record in the history of the Men's Basketball Asian Championship. "Fourth? What am I doing hereI want to be first!" Wang Dalin was extremely depressed after hearing the live broadcast, his face full of displeasure. The reason why he was unhappy was not only that he failed to break the record for the largest point difference in history, but also that his own personal data did not meet the standard Wasn't he still one assist away? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside of the team, the team and the team behind the team are stronger than the last one, so it¡¯s hard to get enough data per game! "To perform such an outrageous performance and look like a dead parent, it really deserves a beating If everyone hadn't known that Zhang Zilin was not his girlfriend, they would have thought that he had just been dumped! At the end of the game, several players in the Thai team were so sad that they cried. Their head coach was also a "hot-tempered person" and burst into tears when reporters asked questions at the press conference. The reporter asked him this at the time - "Excuse me, this time the Thai team lost by such a big score, will you comfort your players?" After hearing this, the Thai head coach burst into tears on the spot comforting the players? Who the hell is here to comfort me? At 20:30 on the evening of July 21, the Chinese team faced the Qatar team. This West Asian team is very good. Apart from the Chinese team, they are the strongest in Group A. The Chinese team has not played against Qatar in the Asian Championships before, and does not know much about this team. Coach Wang Fei didn¡¯t dare to neglect. He decided to let the main players play more in this game, especially Wang Dalin, the ¡°animal¡±. Since you like to perform so much, I will let you play well in this game In the opinion of coach Wang Fei, the last game against Thailand was considered a mistreatment, but this game against Qatar won¡¯t be the same, right? He obviously still underestimated Wang Dalin, also underestimated the Chinese team, and even more overestimated the Qatar team. Wang Dalin immediately turned on the "God of Killing Mode" as soon as the game started, and started chopping melons and vegetables on the court No, it should be said that he was making waves on the court. In this game, he fully learned the lessons from the previous game. In addition to a large number of personal attacks on the court, he also almost took away all the work organized by Fan Bin. Soanother massacre occurred, the Chinese team bloodbathed the Qatar team 127:57! To be honest, the mental quality of the Qatar team players is better than that of the Thai team players. After the game, no one cried. They even happily took photos with the Chinese team players! Maybe it¡¯s normal for them to not be able to beat the Chinese team. They¡¯re all losing anyway. Is there any difference between losing by 10 points and losing by 50 points? Wang Dalin already admires these people. If he had lost 50 points in a game, he would probably be no different from those players in the Thai team. He would also hide in a corner and cry. In this game, Wang Dalin was once again elected as the "Honorary Title of the Most Beautiful Boy in the Game". He made 18 of 29 shots, including 8 of 13 three-pointers, and 10 of 12 free throws. He scored 54 points, 12 rebounds, 13 assists and 4 Blocked shots and 3 steals. Failing to break the record for the largest point difference in the history of the Asian Championships with the Qatar team, Wang Dalin could only say Who wants to give it a try if they think they are awesome? Even if the American team comes, it may not work! Fortunately, the opponent in the next game is the Hong Kong team of China. They are recognized as one of the weakest teams in this competition. They are probably only slightly better than the Singapore team and the Thai team. Wang Dalin realized that if he wanted to complete the first task, he could only work hard on the Hong Kong team. The strength of other teams was not so bad He had to beat his opponent by 128 points to break the record. This is no joke. ! To achieve this goal, Wang Dalin chatted with his teammates one by one during the day on July 22, and gave everyone a "Tissot" limited edition sports watch This is not a low-end product that costs a few hundred yuan in the mall. It was Wang Dalin who specially asked Schwarz to find the "Tissot" company. It is indeed natural for merchants to send a few products to spokespersons, but this kind of limited-edition high-end goods is different. This kind of watch is difficult to buy on the market, and the price of each piece is as high as 1,188 US dollars. "Tissot" company gave Wang Dalin 15 pieces of this limited edition watch in one go. It is really generous and worthy of being a major international brand! In 2001, the income of domestic basketball players was generally not high. After receiving a gift worth nearly 10,000 soft sister coins from Wang Dalin, you can imagine how happy they were? Wang Dalin gave such a valuable gift, and I have only one thing to ask of you: when your teammates receive his pass, as long as there are no other players close to you, you must attack immediately, whether you are shooting or layup. Or a dunk. Firstly, he just wants to get assists, and secondly, he also hopes that his teammates will not show mercy After all, the Hong Kong team and we are brothers, and it is difficult for our teammates to kill. He had no choice. If he could beat Thailand by 128 points in the first game, why would he need to set his sights on the Hong Kong team? I have no choice but to say "I'm sorry" to Hong Kong deep in my heart. The teammates agreed readily, weren¡¯t they just playing hard? It seems like a happy thing to teach your brothers a lesson once in a while right?

(First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! At 20:30 on the evening of July 22, the match between the Chinese team and the Hong Kong, China team started. Before the game, Wang Dalin specifically asked coach Wang Fei to make a request. He wanted to play as much as possible in this game and hoped that coach Wang Fei would not take him off easily. Wang Dalin¡¯s playing time in the previous two games has been very long, reaching about 32 minutes. Converted to the same ratio, it is equivalent to playing 36 minutes in an NBA game. However, the intensity of this kind of game is obviously still far behind that of the NBA. Wang Dalin's physical strength value of 85 is almost equivalent to 95 here. He feels that he is fully capable of playing the entire game. ????????????????????????????????????? What can I do if I have less playing time? Coach Wang Fei hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to him. He also heard that Wang Dalin wanted to "go on a killing spree" tonight, and he was quite speechless Was it against the Hong Kong team? Isn't it good to just paddle around? Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t want to take action on the Hong Kong team, but the reality is that if the Chinese team cannot break the record for the largest point difference in the history of the Asian Championships in this game, there will be no chance again. After the game started, the ace star of the Hong Kong team Wu Zhuye quickly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. The "big brothers" of the Chinese team opposite seemed to have murderous intent on them? Especially the NBA Rookie of the Year wearing No. 15 jersey, he scored three goals in a row as soon as he came on the field, and his murderous aura was almost burning! And Wang Zhizhi, Liu Yudong, Hu Weidongwhy do you shoot as soon as you catch the ball? Can't we keep the pace down? If you play slower, wouldn't it mean that brothers would lose less? Wu Zhuye¡¯s heart is broken I say brothers, what are you going to do? We are all a family, wouldn¡¯t you feel guilty doing this? ??Wu Zhuye is regarded as the most famous star in Hong Kong¡¯s basketball world, and he has become Hong Kong¡¯s leading basketball star in later generations. The people of Hong Kong affectionately call him ¡°Zhuzi¡±. He started playing in the first group of the Hong Kong Basketball League at the age of 15. He won the first group championship for 11 consecutive years, and won the Asian Champions League Cup with the team in 1997. He also won the Hong Kong First Class Championship in 1998. Team mvp and best team member of Hong Kong Outstanding Athletes. It seems quite powerful, but in fact the "Asian Champions League Cup" is the Asian Basketball Club Champions Cup. This event has only been held since 1981. Until 2001, it was relatively late for Chinese clubs to pay attention to this event. There were very few club teams participating in this event, so teams from other countries won many championships. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Soeven though Wu Zhuye is the leading star in Hong Kong, in fact, if he comes to the CBA League, he may not be able to play the main force, let alone compare with the Chinese men's basketball team. Wu Zhuye was nothing more than that, and the other players of the Hong Kong team were even less good. They were beaten severely by the Chinese team from the very beginning. In the first quarter alone, they were beaten by a score of 45:7. Wang Dalin is still a little dissatisfied. He missed three goals in the first quarter, and both Fan Bin and Li Nan did not take action immediately after receiving a pass from him. They just hesitated a little after catching the ball, and Wang Dalin's wish to assist was dashed. One more thing to mention, the fiba rules have a very strict definition of assists. As long as the passer does not take action immediately after receiving the ball, the passer will not have assist statistics. Therefore, what Wang Dalin attaches most importance to in this Asian Championship is assists. Compared with assists, it is much easier to score points and rebounds, at least they can be controlled by himself. Wang Dalin continued to play in the second quarter, and he and his teammates gave the Hong Kong team another heavy blow. In this quarter alone, he scored 19 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and blocked 2 blocks. As a result, the Hong Kong team lost more in the second quarter than in the first quarter, and fell behind by 79 points at 15:94 at halftime. Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t know whether the Chinese team can break the Asian Championship¡¯s largest point difference record in this game, but at least they have broken the Asian Championship¡¯s largest half-time point difference record. In the second half, Wang Dalin continued to play. Seeing that he was still as excited as a chicken, Wu Zhuye couldn't help but shed tears of sadness on the court. As the saying goes, "A man doesn't shed tears lightly, but it's just not the time to be sad." Wu Zhuye was really sad. He picked up his fifth foul not long after the third quarter, and went straight back to the locker room without even sitting on the bench. "The other party's behavior is almost equivalent to surrendering and disarming, but Wang Dalin's task of breaking the record has not been completed yet, so he has to bite the bullet"! " After the game against the Hong Kong team, coach Wang Fei called everyone for a pre-game mobilization meeting the next morning. The agenda of the meeting is very simple, that is, coach Wang Fei conveys the "highest instruction" on behalf of the Chinese men's basketball coaching staff - there is no need to hold back against the Lebanese team, and you can hit as hard as you can! Of course, the meeting cannot be that simple. Coach Wang Fei also made many targeted arrangements at the meeting, especially the inclusion of young player Yao Ming in the starting lineup. Aren¡¯t you short? I just use the tallest person to bully you! In addition, when Wang Dalin once again took the initiative and asked to play the whole game, coach Wang Fei was of course happy with the beauty of adulthood. He also specifically told Wang Dalin to go all out and show off all the skills he learned in the NBA. Wang Dalin was so happyI just increased the offensive rebounds to 80. Are we going to show it in this game? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 103 Running away from home (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The Chinese team has been making great progress in the Asian Championships, and Wang Dalin is like a god of death, performing in three consecutive games in the Asian Championships. Things are not going well for Zhang Zilin She was expelled from the track and field team! Because of her "disorganized style" and the fact that she was not the best among the women's hurdlers in this training camp, she was expelled from the team within a few days after she returned from Shanghai. After being fired, Zhang Zilin was of course very unhappy. With endless grievances in his heart, he ran to a barbecue stall on the roadside alone, ordered a lot of dishes, and ordered a few bottles of beer. The girl was sitting alone at the barbecue stall eating and drinking, and she looked so young and beautiful. Naturally, many diners and passers-by paid her "attention". Zhang Zilin ignored him and just ate and drank. He quickly ate a bunch of kebabs and drank two bottles of beer. Suddenly, a tall young man sat down at her table. He picked up the beer and poured himself a glass. He smiled and said, "Little junior sister, are you turning your sorrow and anger into food?" Zhang Zilin grabbed his glass, drank it down in one gulp, and then said: "You are going to participate in the University Games soon, so you can't drink at this time!" Liu Xiang smiled bitterly, picked up a skewer of roasted beef tenderloin and said, "Okay, I don't want to drink, so I can eat meat, right?" Zhang Zilin ignored him and grabbed another bunch of grilled chicken wings and started to eat them. Liu Xiang took two bites and asked, "What are you going to do next?" Zhang Zilin was chewing chicken wings and said vaguely: "What else can I do? Go back to school and continue school?" "Are you going to take the college entrance examination?" "What, can't it?" "Hmmplease forgive me, based on your scores in the cultural class, it's hard to take two exams!" A few black lines appeared on Zhang Zilin's forehead, his pretty face turned red and he scolded: "Brother, would you rather hit someone in the face?" Liu Xiang sneered and said, "Don't be angry. I came here specially to find you. Isn't this just to find a solution for you?" Zhang Zilin finished eating the chicken wings and asked: "Then have you thought of any solution?" Liu Xiang smiled and said: "Zilin, do you feel that you are actually not suitable for practicing sports?" Zhang Zilin's face turned red again, and he said angrily: "You are trying another way to laugh at me, right?" Liu Xiang hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to laugh at you! Think about it carefully and ask yourself do you like hurdles?" Zhang Zilin looked confused and asked, "Do you like to practice hurdles?" Liu Xiang laughed and said: "I like hurdles, but I don't like to practice hurdles. Only Uncle Ghost likes to practice hurdles! But it's not good if you don't practice. If you don't practice, you won't get results, so you can only keep practicing until you win the world championship!" " Zhang Zilin asked: "What happens after you win the world championship? You stop practicing?" Liu Xiang smiled and said: "How is that possible? No matter what, I have to be too old to run anymore before I retire, right?" Zhang Zilin pondered for a moment and asked: "Brother, do you think that with my talent, I will have the opportunity to participate in the World Series in the future?" Liu Xiang also thought for a moment and said: "It's difficult!" Zhang Zilin smiled and said: "Then what are you thinking about? Anyway, I have no future if I continue to practice. I might as well study hard as soon as possible and get into a good university in the future! Don't be like you. It's too late to go back to school!" Liu Xiang smiled and said: "Zilin, you have to think clearly, can your homework scores really be made up? You will be a senior in high school when school starts in September!" Zhang Zilin smiled easily and said: "What's so difficult about that? There's only one year left. I don't believe that I can't get into a good university even if I study hard for a year!" Liu Xiang smiled and said: "That's okay. In fact, your culture class is not that bad, at least it is much better than mine. And every year in the college entrance examination, your Beijing questions are the most difficult, so it is not impossible to pass all the exams Anyway, it is ¡°All roads lead to Rome¡±, and getting into a good university in the future may not be inferior to becoming a professional athlete!¡± Zhang Zilin smiled and said: "That's right, look at your professional athletes, many of them came back to study after retirement? Just like Deng Yaping, who is still studying at Tsinghua University!" Liu Xiang smiled and said: "Haha, when I can no longer run, I will retire and come to study. How about being your little junior brother in the future?" Zhang Zilin laughed and said: "Bah, I don't have a junior brother as old as you!" Liu Xiang laughed for a long time, then gradually stopped smiling and asked: "Think about it again, do you like hurdling?" ???His reputation in later generations is obviously much greater than it was at this time. Since participating in the Asian Championships in 2001, he has been the leader of the Lebanese men's basketball team and one of the best players in the entire Asian region. He has the reputation of "Asia's No. 1" Known as "Small Forward", his reputation and status in Asian basketball is second only to our Chairman Yao. Originally, Hadib¡¯s basketball career was very brilliant. From 2001 to 2007, Hadib never averaged less than 27 points per game in the West Asian Basketball League. In the 2004-2005 season, he averaged an astonishing 37 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists per game. When Michael Jordan came back for the second time, he invited Khadib to participate in the training camp with Finley, Miller and others. In an interview with the New York Times, Jordan said that Hadib definitely has the strength to stand in the NBA. Subsequently, Hadib was indeed invited by the NBA team, but due to contract issues with the Lebanese club team, he did not appear in the NBA game. Rather than challenge Wang Dalin¡¯s defensive skills, Hadib called center Vogel to set a screen for himself, and using the pick-and-roll, he rushed into the three-second zone like lightning. Facing Wang Zhizhi¡¯s defense, he jumped high and sidled into Wang Zhizhi¡¯s arms, making an exquisite basket pick with his left hand. Not only was the goal successfully scored, it also caused Wang Zhizhi to foul. Wang Dalin looked at Hadib standing on the free throw line, and the fighting spirit in his eyes became more and more intense He had been abusing the food for three consecutive games. Although it was to complete the task, it was a bit boring. Finally, he met a tough guy. Trouble! Coach Wang Fei¡¯s face also became much more serious. He had long heard that the Lebanese team had a talented forward whose strength was comparable to Hu Weidong at his peak. When he saw it today, he was indeed well-deserved. But then he thought again and a smile appeared on his face: "You have Hadibu, don't I have Wang Dalin here? When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. If it is a mule or a horse, let's take it out for a walk" (Remember this Website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 104 The attacking Chinese men¡¯s basketball team (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Hadib didn't know that the wonderful 2+1 he had just scored had successfully aroused Wang Dalin's fighting spirit and this ordinary game in the second group stage of the Asian Championship was destined to make him Unforgettable for a lifetime! Hadib steadily hit the extra penalty, and the Lebanese team took the lead. The American head coach Carl John Newman on the bench showed a proud smile on his face - "Look, this is the ace in my hand. Do you know how powerful he is?" Looking back, Fan Bin steadily dribbled the ball past half-court, and then passed the ball to Wang Dalin. In these three games, this outstanding point guard in the CBA League has completely transformed into a "dribble guard". Basically, what he does is dribble the ball through half court, and then run to a certain side of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle and wait. If the ball comes through, he'll take a shot, and if it doesn't, he'll rest. However, in the first three games, Fan Bin still completed his task satisfactorily. Not only did he dribble steadily, he also shot open three-pointers well. In the CBA league, although the Bayi team has dominated the league for many years, they have never played such an easy game! After receiving the ball, Wang Dalin observed Khadib's defensive position, then decisively pulled up and shot. "Whoops!" This three-pointer was scored cleanly, and it didn¡¯t even touch the net. Coach Wang Fei also had a smile on his face - "You, an American, are making a fool of yourself? I am also a person with big weapons!" Looking back, Hadib repeated his old trick and once again used the pick-and-roll to break through the three-second zone. This time Wang Dalin judged his intention in advance and had already bypassed Vogel's strong body and directly blocked Hadib's breakthrough route. Hadib was forced to stop the ball and had to turn around to pass the ball to the outside. Wang Dalin intercepted the pass as soon as he stretched out his long arms, dribbled the ball and ran towards the frontcourt. Hadib quickly chased after him. He was much faster than Wang Dalin. Although he started much slower, he still caught up. Wang Dalin dribbled the ball and rushed to the free throw line. He originally looked like he was going to forcefully attack the frame. Unexpectedly, he suddenly stopped suddenly. Hadib rushed too fast and failed to stop the car. He could only watch Wang Dalin helplessly. Dalin made a solid mid-range shot. Suddenly a loud shout came from the stands: "Wang Dalin, good job!" The audience at the scene was a little surprised, where did this girl come from? The noise of more than 3,000 people at the scene could not suppress this sound. A small voice is really loud! The spectators nearby smiled immediately after seeing Zhang Zilin's appearance It turned out to be the beauty who shouted "Wang Dalin, I love you" during the warm-up match! There were indeed many people at the scene who had come to watch the warm-up match a few days ago. Of course, they were very impressed by this extremely beautiful tall girl. Wang Dalin also heard the sound of cheering, and then saw Zhang Zilin behind the stands, and couldn't help but feel excited - "Did she come to see me again?" The game continued. The Lebanese team did not let Hadib play Wang Dalin in singles this time. Instead, the ball was passed to Vogel, hoping that he could rely on his strong body to beat Yao Ming in singles. Unexpectedly, the Chinese team's inside players took the initiative to switch defense this time. Only after Vogel received the ball did he realize that Liu Yudong had been replaced behind him. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? You're a 198cm little power forward, and you still want to block me? I am a big center who is 210cm tall! Vogel dribbled the ball and hit the basket hard, but he didn't expect Liu Yudong to not move at all. Seeing that the ball was obviously in his hands for too long, he wanted to pass it back to the point guard first. Unexpectedly, a little yellow-skinned man rushed over like lightning and knocked the ball out of his hand. After Fan Bin completed the steal, he directly made a long pass to Hu Weidong. Hu Weidong did not stop the ball after receiving the ball. He made a pull-up against the defense of the opponent's shooting guard Escotian. The ball drew a wonderful arc in the air and went into the basket. 8:3, the Chinese team is 5 points ahead. Coach Newman frowned slightly, he had already noticed The Chinese team is indeed very strong, even without Wang Dalin, an NBA star, it would be difficult to play! Khadib whispered a few words to Walid and Vogel. When the Lebanese team attacked again, Khadib first called Vogel to set a pick-and-roll screen for him, and then Walid helped him block. For a moment. This double pick-and-roll tactic was very smart, and Hadib also successfully broke into the basket, but as soon as the ball in his hand took off, he saw a huge palm stretched out, and it was a block. It¡¯s Yao Ming!  The offensive efficiency is indeed a bit dismal. After the offensive rebounds were increased to 80, Wang Dalin felt so good about grabbing rebounds on the court for the first time. He grabbed 3 offensive rebounds in the first quarter alone. Last season in the NBA, he averaged 6.8 rebounds per game, which is not a stretch, but he only had a measly 0.8 offensive rebounds There was no way. At that time, his offensive rebounding ability value was only 47, so he could only rely on luck to pick up the missed points. The offensive rebounding ability of 80 is already very powerful. Even in the NBA, there are not many better than him. What¡¯s more, this is only an Asian competition? To be blunt, if you don¡¯t consider Yao Ming¡¯s height of 226cm and just look at his offensive rebounding ability, even this future NBA super center can¡¯t compare to him. The Chinese team lost the jump ball, so the Chinese team started to attack first in the second quarter. Li Xiaoyong dribbled to the frontcourt, and handed the ball to Wang Dalin with a flick of his wrist Who is not a "dribble guard"? As soon as Wang Dalin got the ball, the opponent Hadib and substitute point guard Fahd double-teamed him. Wang Dalin smiled contemptuously You two are so small, will double-teaming be useful to me? As long as I don't dribble, can you two reach the ball? He raised his arms high and calmly, and with a flick of his wrist, he passed the ball to Li Xiaoyong outside the left three-point line. Since Fahd has come over to double-team Wang Dalin, Li Xiaoyong¡¯s side is naturally a big open space. It is simply unreasonable to not shoot the ball like this "Dang!" The basketball hit Blue's neck hard and bounced high. Battle and the opponent's substitute center Cowley struggled to get a good position. Seeing that Battle used his natural power to push Cowley aside, he was about to jump to catch the attack. On the rebound, Wang Dalin rushed into the three-second zone and suddenly jumped up, his long arms stretched high "Clang!" This back-up dunk was as powerful as thunder, and all the Lebanese team players were dumbfounded (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 105 Young Master, I¡¯m going to have sex with you (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Wang Dalin grabbed the offensive rebound first and completed the putback dunk. This performance was like a magic weapon descending from the sky. If you have to use words to describe it, you can recall the game between Xiangbei and Lingnan in "Slam Dunk". Sakuragi Hanamichi finally completed a make-up dunk, and that was about it. However, Wang Dalin is a head taller than Sakuragi Hanamichi, so the visual impact of this extra dunk is obviously more exciting than the cartoon. If Sakuragi Hanamichi¡¯s back-up dunk in the cartoon is like a small glider, Wang Dalin is more like a heavy bomber. After completing the "bomb drop", Wang Dalin fell from the basket. Looking around, he saw a trace of fear in the eyes of the Lebanese players, while the faces of his teammates were full of surprise. Barter slapped him on the back and laughed loudly: "Good boy! You flew past me in one go. I was so scared that I didn't even jump." Li Xiaoyong also quickly came over and patted his butt and said with a smile: "Thank you! I will feed you a comfortable ball later!" He missed the shot, so he scrambled for offensive rebounds. Wang Dalin's make-up dunk actually made up for his "mistake" of missing the shot. Wang Dalin scored such a wonderful goal. The audience could not remain calm and gave out earth-shattering cheers. Zhang Zilin began to shout "Wang Dalin, I love you" in rhythm again, and a group of little girls immediately followed suit. Perhaps because this extra dunk was too exciting, the Lebanese team failed to succeed in the next few attacks. The Chinese team seized the opportunity to attack fiercely and instantly launched an 8:0 climax. The score difference had reached 39:16. Seeing that the game was about to be ruined, Coach Newman quickly called a timeout. Seeing the players dejected one by one, Coach Newman also felt a headache. The team's momentum had been lost. How could it be so easy to regroup and win despite defeat? However, he has one more trick a trick that he never wants to use unless absolutely necessary! After returning from the timeout, Wang Dalin found that the opponent began to make more and more small moves. They continued to pull the jerseys, trip their legs, step on their feet, push their knees, elbows, and other bad moves on the Chinese team players. Not long after the game, the Chinese team players were already suffering. Even Wang Dalin had a few blood marks on his arm. "Damn it! Are you just playing dirty tricks if you can't beat me?" Wang Dalin was filled with anger. "Did the referees on the field take the money? Can't you see this?" Not to mention, these scumbags in the Lebanese team are not very good at playing, but they are quite professional in this way. Their actions are very hidden, and the referee may not have seen them in most cases. Chinese players have suffered a hidden loss and have no results if they go to the referee to argue with them. They often have to swallow their anger. The boys of the men's basketball team played with emotion. It would be weird if the game went smoothly. The Lebanese team seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack and soon chased the score to 44:35. Seeing that the score difference has been chased from 23 points to single digits, coach Wang Fei could not sit still and called the first timeout of the game. As soon as he returned to the bench, before he could sit down, the players exploded. Zhang Cheng was the first to say: "That little guy named Walid has pinned my legs several times. If he dares to do it again later, I will kick him to death!" Li Xiaoyong also said angrily: "That Walid almost tore my jersey to pieces. Are all these referees blind?" Gong Xiaobin rubbed his ankle and said angrily: "And that goddamn dog thief No. 15 dared to step on my foot. Fortunately, it didn't hurt, otherwise I would have to cripple him!" The number 15 he is talking about is the Lebanese team¡¯s ace star Hadib. It has to be said that players in West Asia are of low quality. Stars like Hadib often play such dirty tricks in games. Barthel was so angry that he stared angrily and said in a muffled voice: "It's just these little bastards. I really want to get angry and crush them all to death with one hand!" Hu Weidong said hurriedly: "Hey, everyone, please calm down, but don't do anything!" Liu Yudong also said: "Old nonsense is right, the opponent makes a lot of small moves, but we still have the upper hand, so don't make a move! Once you make a move, you will be sent off, and you will most likely be fined and suspended. Woolen cloth!" "Both Lao Liu and Lao Hu are right!" On the bench, coach Wang Fei deliberately joked in a very relaxed tone, "You can't stand it when the Lebanese team resorts to such little tricks? Remember back then? When we, the seniors of the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team, played against teams from West Asia, how could we not have encountered this kind of situation? What was the result? Didn¡¯t we still win beautifully? Look at Dalin, there¡¯s blood on his arms. Not like you eitherThe payment is 10,000 yuan. ??We won the game and the fight, but they suffered unprecedentedly high penalties. The players of the Chinese men's basketball team still suffered heavy losses. Now that Wang Dalin appears on the court in this game, he will not allow this to happen. Even if a fight cannot be avoided, at least he cannot let everyone bear such a heavy punishment "If you have anything, just come at me. Come on, I don¡¯t care about punishment or anything!¡± Back on the court, Wang Dalin caught the ball in the middle distance on the right side and turned around directly. The ball didn't go in, but he hit Hadib in the lower abdomen with a "scissor kick", and the guy curled up on the ground. Because of this "accident", the referee blew the whistle and interrupted the game. The Lebanese team doctor came up to check and announced that Hadib was fine and could continue the game. Wang Dalin thought: Nonsense, can it cause any serious harm? I didn't aim to kick between his legs, it was just a hit in his lower abdomen. Of course, after a while, we can continue the game! The game continued, and the Lebanon team handed the ball to Vogel inside after halftime. As soon as the player caught the ball, he was slapped on the forearm by Wang Dalin. There was a crisp "pop" sound, and there were several red fingerprints on Vogel's arm. "BeepWhite team's No. 15 thug committed a foul!" Vogel was almost in tears - "My hands are really swollen, so why should I call a thug foul? Can I give him a flagrant foul?" Wang Dalin deliberately blinked at him and showed a smile - "Boy, it's just the beginning. I'm going to fight with you today" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 106 The blood-stained shirt (the third update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Maybe it was because the hand was too painful, but Vogel only made one free throw in two attempts. Looking back, Wang Dalin repeated his old tricks and made a "scissors kick" when making a pull-up jump shot. This time, Hadib learned a lesson and dodged, but Wang Dalin scored. Hadib muttered a string of bird language in his mouth, which Wang Dalin couldn't understand. He probably didn't have anything nice to say, so he immediately yelled back: "That bird man, what kind of bird language are you talking about? Be careful, Grandpa, tear your mouth apart." !¡± Hadib was dumbfounded by the scolding, and he just wanted to say: "Can you speak English well?" The Bulgarian referee who was officiating the game did not rub the sand in his eyes this time. He gave Wang Dalin a "T" after blowing the whistle, which made Wang Dalin so angry that he almost ran away. "Damn it, I can't afford to offend you just bear with it!" After the technical foul, the Lebanon team won the opportunity to throw 2 free throws and 1 throw. Wang Dalin angrily returned to stand at the edge of the three-second zone in his own half. Battle came over and patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You kid is very good at this. When will you teach me?" " Wang Dalin stared at Walid, who was about to take a free throw, and whispered: "Don't be distracted, we will discuss it after the game is over!" Barter understood the situation and quickly returned to his position. Walid made two free throws, and then the Lebanon team sent a sideline ball near the midline. Hadib received the pass from outside the three-point line, and Wang Dalin slid up to him. He accidentally looked down and saw the "Vulcan Generation" on his feet. Hadib couldn't help but feel a chill in his crotch. In this stunned opportunity, Wang Dalin had already snatched the ball from his hand. Hadib struggled to get the ball back, but Wang Dalin suddenly screamed "ah" and fell to the ground. "Beep White team No. 15 committed a foul while grabbing the ball!" Hadib was dumbfounded: I didn¡¯t hit him at all, he fell down by himself! Wang Dalin kept covering his face after falling to the ground, looking like he was in agony. If the referee didn't blow the call, he could lie on the floor and pretend to be dead. He finally figured it out. The referee seemed to be deliberately favoring the Lebanese team. If he continued to learn Bowen's little tricks in the game, he probably wouldn't be able to gain any advantage. He might as well learn from Varejao and Scorana. This style of selling outisn't it just flopping? We have also watched football matches, who hasn¡¯t seen this before? It has to be said that when it comes to diving acting skills, basketball players are really nothing compared to football players. They are far behind! Since this was just a common foul, the Chinese team only won one chance to serve the sideline ball. Seeing Wang Dalin¡¯s handsome face intact, Hadib gritted his teeth with hatred and vowed to show him some color this round. After Wang Dalin got the ball in the high post, Hadib immediately came up and stepped on Wang Dalin's feet deliberately, trying to "give a massage" to Wang Dalin's instep. Wang Dalin was startled. In the critical situation, he only had time to move his right foot a little. He heard both men scream in pain, and then they both fell to the ground. Wang Dalin covered his instep and screamed repeatedly, while Hadib stroked his ankle, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead This time he stepped on Wang Dalin's foot, but because Wang Dalin moved a little, he I sprained my ankle immediately after stepping on it. ¡° In contrast, Wang Dalin only had pain in the instep, while Hadib I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to recover within a week. This is called "hurting others will eventually harm yourself", or "evil people will be punished by their own evil people". Hadib had evil intentions and wanted to hurt Wang Dalin, but Wang Dalin was the one who tricked him. The team doctor came up to check and found that Hadib's ankle was swollen. He didn't know if he had injured a bone, so he had to carry him back to the locker room. Without Hadib, the absolute main force, the Lebanese team's offensive firepower was greatly reduced in an instant. The Chinese team fully carried forward the spirit of "killing others while they are sick" and beat the Lebanese team hard. After three quarters, they already led by 23 points, 72:49. In the last quarter, coach Wang Fei originally wanted Wang Dalin to take a break, but he was still thinking about brushing up data, so why was he willing to rest off the court, so he hurriedly patted his chest and volunteered. In the final stage of the game, the players of the Lebanese team became more and more anxious. Naturally, the offense was disorganized and the defense was also full of loopholes. Wang Dalin transformed into a "sewer warrior". Not only did his personal score rise like sesame blossoms, but his rebounds and assists also kept rising. Although the Chinese team¡¯s net points in the first three games are very high, Wang Dalin¡¯s personal data is also very good, and againstThe originally red jersey on the shirt was dyed even redder. When the incident happened, Zhang Zilin had walked to the exit of the arena, but when she heard a commotion behind her, she immediately turned around and saw the scene, then she turned around and ran back. Like most fans, she grabbed the things in her bag and smashed them down until she saw Haye holding a chair to attack Wang Dalin. She was so frightened that she suddenly turned pale and exclaimed: "Da Lin, be careful" " After seeing Wang Dalin being smashed, she immediately became furious. She wanted to jump off the stands immediately, take a chair and beat up that damned thief. But when she saw Wang Dalin kill him in an instant, her face immediately changed. Tears turn into laughter. The members of the Lebanese team were escorted to the locker room by police and security guards. Coach Wang Fei, Ji Zhixin and others also quickly cooperated with the staff to persuade the audience to leave. Wang Dalin still knocked out two opponents after losing the lottery. Although he received praise from almost everyone, the wound on his back was still bleeding and he had to go to the hospital for bandage quickly, so he had to leave the field with the team doctor. When he arrived at the hospital, because the wound was long and deep, Wang Dalin received 5 stitches. After the stitches were completed, he had to stay in the hospital for observation overnight. I didn¡¯t feel much pain during the fight. After the stitches were done and the anesthetic wore off, Wang Dalin felt the burning pain on his back. The team doctor asked him to rest alone in the hospital for one night and come back to see him tomorrow. He went back first. Wang Dalin lay sideways on the hospital bed, a trace of sadness gradually showing on his face. ¡°This fight has already happened even if we don¡¯t want it to happen. I don¡¯t know what kind of fine the Asian Basketball Federation will issue this time. It doesn't matter if he's fined or something, but if he's suspended, it's a bit unacceptable to him. He never thought about whether he could still play the game due to the injury on his back. He just thought that the opponents behind the Chinese team were not soft persimmons, and the current points difference was not very safe! At this moment, a nice girl¡¯s voice came from the door: ¡°So you are in this ward, I have been looking for you for a long time!¡± Wang Dalin turned around and was surprised Why did Zhang Zilin come to the hospital? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 107 Don¡¯t get me wrong (fourth update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Seeing Zhang Zilin standing handsomely at the door of the ward, Wang Dalin suddenly felt that this scene seemed so unreal. Seeing Wang Dalin's stunned look, Zhang Zilin couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Haha, Wang Dalin, what's wrong with youdon't you remember me?" Wang Dalin came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Why are you here? Ah No, how do you know I am in this hospital?" Zhang Zilin walked into the ward, sat directly on the bed next to him and said with a smile: "What's the point? The only district-level hospital closest to Luwan Stadium is here, otherwise it's a municipal hospital. I miss you with this wound on your back It¡¯s just a matter of a few stitches, there¡¯s no need to go to a municipal hospital, right?¡± Wang Dalin smiled awkwardly and stood up to give Zhang Zilin a glass of water. As soon as he sat up and wanted to get out of bed, Zhang Zilin came over and pushed him back down. "What are you doing? Do you want to drink water? Can I pour it for you?" "No, I just want to get you a glass of water!" "You told me earlier, I can pour it myself if you want to drink water. Just lie down and don't move, be careful of the wound opening!" Zhang Zilin poured a glass of water for himself and a glass for Wang Dalin. Their fingers touched lightly when they handed it to him. Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, as if he was electrocuted. He quickly retracted the water glass and almost spilled the water on the bed. Zhang Zilin also had a strange feeling. He felt numbness in his fingers, like an electric current, and his whole body trembled. The two were silent for a long time, and the atmosphere instantly became a bit awkward. In fact, they were both young and ignorant, or they gave back all the physics knowledge they had learned back then. This was not the so-called "calling feeling" at all, it was justthe two of them were numbed by static electricity! But this is not a bad thing. At least at this moment, the two young people couldn't help but have a vague feeling in their hearts. This kind of feeling is naturally far from "love". Even if it is said to be "like", it is still a little short of it. At most, it can only be regarded as increasing mutual affection But who knows what will happen in the future? Wang Dalin took the initiative to break the deadlock and suddenly asked: "By the way, what's your name? Do you have any business with me? Are you just here to see me?" Zhang Zilin's face turned red and he hesitated: "My name is Zhang Zilin. I really have something to ask youbutit's actually veryembarrassing to talk about this kind of thing." Wang Dalin asked curiously: "What's so embarrassing? You're not here to borrow money from me!" Zhang Zilin's face turned even redder and he whispered: "I really came to borrow money from you!" Wang Dalin was surprised and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? You shouldn't be short of money?" It¡¯s normal for him to think so. Zhang Zilin can afford a few hundred yuan a ticket, so how can he be short of money? Zhang Zilin¡¯s pretty face turned red and she said sheepishly: ¡°I said I threw away my wallet¡­do you believe it?¡± Wang Dalin suddenly had a few black lines appear on his forehead and said angrily: "Are you kidding me?" Zhang Zilin said pitifully: "Yes, I can't believe this either. But, I really threw my wallet away when you were fighting in the gym!" There were more black lines on Wang Dalin's forehead: "You mean you threw something down and threw your wallet out?" Zhang Zilin nodded hurriedly and whispered: "That's it!" The situation at the scene was very chaotic. The audience was throwing things under the stadium. Maybe Zhang Zilin made a mistake and threw her wallet out Wang Dalin thought for a moment and asked, "Didn't you go look for it?" Zhang Zilin almost cried: "I found it. Later I asked the staff to help me find it, but I couldn't find it!" Wang Dalin pondered for a moment and said: "I guess someone took advantage of me Alas, the quality of the Chinese people is still too low. Just after a fight with others, can't they just pick up the gold again?" Zhang Zilin nodded sharply and said: "Yes, it's just the quality is too low!" Wang Dalin reached for his bag from the bedside table, opened the zipper and took out his wallet, opened it and counted it, there was 3,200 yuan in cash inside. He thought for a moment, took out two "Mao Ye" and stuffed them back into his wallet. The remaining 30 hundred-dollar bills were all handed to her: "I only have so much on me, you take the flowers first." Zhang Zilin hurriedly waved his hands and said: "You don't need so much, just lend me 1,000 yuan!" &nbsGoing out to take a taxi alone in the middle of the night is indeed quite dangerous. Zhang Zilin took off his shoes, got on the bed and lay down in his clothes. He only pulled the quilt and put it on his stomach In Shanghai in late July, the weather was as hot as a furnace, and the quilt couldn't cover him at all. Just like that, the two of them were lying on the two hospital beds, one on the left and the other on the right, chatting about all kinds of topics, and soon fell asleep. ¡­¡­ Early the next morning, Wang Dalin was woken up by a burst of noise. When he opened his eyes, he saw a large group of people coming into the ward. They were all teammates of the Chinese men's basketball team, as well as coach Wang Fei and team leader Ji Zhixin. Zhang Cheng walked in the front. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang Zilin lying on another bed. He immediately exclaimed: "Da Lin, you why did you call her here too?" Everyone also saw Zhang Zilin who had just sat up, and they were all stunned. I have to say that beauties are always beauties, even when they first wake up. When Zhang Zilin saw so many people coming, he quickly got out of bed and put on his shoes. He stood beside the bed and was a little overwhelmed. Barter walked up to her with a smile and said: "Sisteroh, no, I should call you sister-in-law, right? Don't be afraid, we are all here to see Dalin!" Hu Weidong also smiled and said: "That's right, brothers and sisters, you have watched our games several times, you should know us, right? We are all Dalin's teammates!" Gong Xiaobin on the side smiled and said: "Da Lin, look at how virtuous my brothers and sisters are. When they saw you were injured, they came to the hospital to stay with you all night. You should really thank them!" Although Coach Wang Fei and the others did not speak, they all had "fatherly" expressions on their faces. Goosebumps rose up on Wang Dalin's back. He quickly waved his hands and said, "Hey, brothers, you must not Misunderstanding" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 108 Playing with injuries (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Wang Dalin didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. In fact, he was really worried. This ambiguous thing between men and women can be big or small. In a small way, everyone is just joking. In a big way, who knows whether such words will spread? ¡°If it is exposed by the media, if the news is known to Zhang Zilin¡¯s family, I¡¯m afraid this matter will be difficult to deal with. It would be okay if Zhang Zilin were two or three years older, but he is only 17 years old now, which is still a minor! To put it bluntly, if the media hypes her up as Wang Dalin's rumored girlfriend, things will be very serious The girlfriend of Wang Dalin, the national player of the Chinese men's basketball team and NBA star, is actually underage? "As soon as this kind of statement comes out, it is estimated that Wang Dalin will immediately be notorious for "seduce underage girls", and more than 90% of his fans will turn negative overnight. No matter how good his skills are, it will be useless. And Zhang Zilin is exposed to the public eye at the age of only 17. Can she withstand such great pressure? Wang Dalin stopped smiling and said seriously: "Brothers, let me tell the truth, Zilin and I are not what you think. We are just friends we just met, not boyfriend and girlfriend!" Zhang Zilin also nodded and smiled: "That's right, we are not boyfriend and girlfriend!" Wang Fei, a veteran coach, immediately understood Wang Dalin's intention, so he called to everyone: "Did you hear it? This is not a romantic relationship, so don't think nonsense, and don't go out and talk nonsense!" Ji Zhixin also said: "I remind you all the time, once you let me know who is talking nonsense outside, the Basketball Management Center will not spare you!" Seeing that the two big guys had spoken, everyone shut their mouths. How could anyone dare to make a mistake? Zhang Zilin saw so many people in the ward, so he said, "Why don't I go back first!" Wang Dalin also felt that she must have felt uncomfortable among this group of big men, so he nodded and said: "Then please pay attention to your safety, I won't send you here!" Zhang Zilin smiled and picked up his handbag and said with a smile: "You talk to your teammates, you don't have to give it to me!" After saying that, she said goodbye to Coach Wang Fei and the others one by one, and then left the ward. Wang Dalin touched the gauze on the wound on his back and asked: "Director Wang, have the penalties from the Asian Blues been released?" Coach Wang Fei said with a calm expression: "I came out at around 11 o'clock last night. Xiaoyong was suspended for 2 games, and the opponent Walid was also suspended for 2 games." Wang Dalin asked: "Is there no fine?" Li Xiaoyong said angrily: "You stinky boy do you want me to be fined?" Wang Dalin quickly laughed and said: "No, Brother Li, don't be angry! What I mean is that there is no additional fine, which is a blessing among misfortunes!" Li Xiaoyong curled his lips and said: "That's pretty much it!" Coach Wang Fei frowned slightly and said: "Xiaoyong has been suspended for 2 games. He won't be able to play against the Japanese team tonight. Plus you, Dalin, can't play either. It seems like this game won't be that easy!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "It's just a Japanese team. Coach Wang, there's no need for you to be so gloomy. Besideswho said I can't play?" Ji Zhixin said with concern: "Dalin, please don't fool around, your injury will take a few days to recover!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "It's just a small injury. Can't I just put a band-aid on the wound and put on a shoulder pad?" Coach Wang Fei worried: "The confrontation on the field is so fierce, there are bound to be bumps and bumps. If the wound opens again, it will be troublesome Or do you want to follow what I said, you take a rest tonight and wait to see the situation tomorrow?" " Wang Dalin said hurriedly: "No Director Wang, do you know how long I have been waiting for this game? When I was a child, I thought about it when I was watching "Tunnel Warfare" and "Plains Guerrillas". When I grow up, I must Teach that little devil a lesson on the basketball court! You must let me play in this game, even if I don¡¯t play in the game against Taipei tomorrow night. You can¡¯t miss me when we play in Japan!¡± Barthel gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Good boy, you have the guts!" Coach Wang Fei still hesitated and said, "Is your injury really okay?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "It's not serious in the first place. Isn't it just a few stitches? As long as you take protective measures, it will be fine!" Coach Wang Fei hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I will arrange for you to play tonight, but you must take protective measures and wear thicker shoulder pads!" ¡­¡­ Why does Wang Dalin have to play in this game? ? ???Even if the head coach pours "chicken soup" on them, it will be of no use. The Japanese media were very excited, and their commentators kept making various exclamations of admiration when explaining: "Wow, is this Yao Ming, who is known as the 'Moving Great Wall'? He is so tall. Player Ito is like a child next to him!" "WowWang Dalin dunked again! The 'Dragon of the Empire' is indeed unstoppable!" "The Chinese team has made a substitution. Is their backup center Bartel that tall? Let me take a look at his information Wow! He is actually 210cm! In our Japanese team, only one player, Ito, is over 2 meters tall, and Barter is so strong, he weighs 130kg!" "The Chinese team scored another three-pointer This player No. 8 is named Hu Weidong, and he was once the ace player of the Chinese team!" ¡­¡­ Wang Dalin didn¡¯t know that while the game was going on, his number of Japanese fans had increased by hundreds of thousands, and more than 90% of them were young girls. However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He will definitely give his best in this game. No one can stop him not even Jesus! As for the injury on his back, it was indeed burning and painful after being soaked with sweat, but this did not affect his performance, but made him look more ferocious. All experienced hunters know this common sense - in fact, injured beasts are more terrifying! Wang Dalin played about 7 minutes in the first quarter, but did not play the entire quarter. Coach Wang Fei was still a little worried about his injury, so he took him off the field no matter how much he begged. However, he still scored 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter, and his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage were both 100% (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 109 Easily win the championship (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Starting from the second quarter, coach Wang Fei gave Wang Dalin less playing time, and he could only play for more than 6 minutes in each quarter. This makes Wang Dalin very anxious Although he is now regarded as a "big killer" in Asian basketball, but with so little playing time, it is not easy to score 50 points? Therefore, he had no choice but to attack with all his strength as soon as he came on the court and almost stopped passing the ball at all. Teammates are very surprised. Wang Dalin¡¯s playing style was quite selfless before. In the past few games, he averaged double digits in assists per game. When did he become such a "lonely player"? Wang Dalin is also in trouble. He also wants to get assists, but the actual conditions do not allow it. No matter what, scoring is the most important thing in this game. By the end of the third quarter, Wang Dalin scored 30 points. He looked up at the scoreboard on the big screen and realized that if he wanted to score another 20 points, he would have to play the entire fourth quarter to have enough time. Back on the bench, Wang Dalin pestered coach Wang Fei for a while, and finally got the famous Chinese men's basketball coach to agree to his request. In the fourth quarter, Wang Dalin was at full strength, but his touch dropped a bit. He had to frequently attack the Japanese team's weak inside line. Even if he couldn't score, he would cause the opponent to foul and go to the free throw line. Just like that, when there was about 1 minute left in the game, Wang Dalin finally scored 50 points, and a big stone fell to his heart. After scoring 50 points, Wang Dalin got the chance to draw the A-level star skills. He returned to the locker room and drew the prize immediately, and got the skill of "Aldridge's Back Lean". "Aldridge leans back: This skill was developed by Trail Blazers and Spurs star LaMarcus Aldridge for many years according to his own conditions. He has solid basic skills and stable shooting efficiency. After equipping this skill, the host can play in the low post or mid-range. When shooting from behind, the bounce height is increased by 5%, the shooting stability is increased by 7%, and the opponent's interference is reduced by 5%." "The minimum requirements for equipping this skill are: 65 bounce, 75 mid-range shot, 80 close shot, 70 behind-the-back jump shot, and 60 strength." Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but feel a little speechless. His behind-the-back jump shot and close range shooting abilities were not up to standard, so he wouldn¡¯t be able to use this skill for the time being? Fortunately, there are still two tasks left at the moment. One is to break the record for the largest point differential in the Chinese Men's Basketball Asian Championships, and the other is to average 40 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals per game, while also controlling no more than 2 turnovers per game. Although the task was quite difficult, it gave him some hope. As long as he can complete these two tasks, he will be able to raise all his behind-the-back jump shots and close-range shots to the upper limit of the current stage, and naturally he will be able to equip the skill "Aldridge's behind-the-back jump shot". Next season he will become the leader of the Pistons, and he will also be the core of the team's offense. He will not be able to do it without a few unique skills. Although Wang Dalin performed very well for the Heat in the second half of the regular season last season, he was only a role player in the team at that time. At most, he was the third or even fourth offensive option. Opponents did not focus on defending him. . Once the opponent treats him as a star, his few tricks may not be enough. Now that he has the opportunity to master this back attack skill, he will try his best no matter what. This skill is really attractive to him. Before Kobe's backdooring technique, although he could also be ranked one of the "four major branches", he had no advantage over the other three at that time. But when he mastered this technique to the point of proficiency, he successfully climbed to the top of the league. When "Old Rogue" Jordan led the Bulls to create a dynasty for the second time, his most lethal weapon was also this move of leaning back, which can be said to have caused countless opponents to suffer. Later Aldridge has been in the league for many years, averaging more than 19 points per game in his career. This data alone is even comparable to the number one power forward in history, "Deng Dadai", which is also due to his behind-the-back shooting. Against the Japanese team, Wang Dalin scored 50 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals. Naturally, his performance was still explosive, but the number of assists was much less than in the previous four games. Wang Dalin also realized this. In the game against Chinese Taipei on July 25, he "only scored" 32 points, but sent out as many as 15 assists. In the semifinals against Syria on July 27, he sent out 16 assists but scored "only" 28 points. It¡¯s finally the finals. Since Wang Dalin scored a total of 289 points, 88 rebounds, 79 assists, 23 blocks, and 16 steals in the first seven games, he only needs to get 31 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block in the finals to complete the task of averaging per game. This is not difficult for Wang Dalin, who is currently in good condition.The key point is to improve the five items of "bounce", "speed", "lateral agility", "catching ability" and "dribbling speed". These five items are not far from the upper limit. He has gained a lot from participating in the Asian Championships this time. Not only has his personal ability been greatly improved, but he also has a good relationship with famous domestic basketball players such as Butler, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Hu Weidong. Everyone respects him as a "little guy." "Brother" is very caring. Successfully winning the Asian Championship, the domestic side should naturally "reward according to merit". However, due to the bad impact of the fight, the Chinese Basketball Association still issued a series of fines on July 29th¡ª¡ª "The five people who committed serious crimes, Li Xiaoyong, Batter, Li Nan, Liu Yudong and Wang Dalin, will be given a serious warning and each will be fined 15,000 yuan in soft girl coins." "Head coach Wang Fei, team leader Ji Zhixin, assistant coach Zhang Degui, team members Fan Bin, Gong Xiaobin, Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Jinsong were given warnings and fined 10,000 yuan each." Wang Dalin had no choice. Since he had taken action, he could only bear the punishment silently. However, he took the initiative to bear all the fines for his teammates, and now everyone has a better relationship with him. After all, everyone¡¯s income is relatively low, and a penalty of tens of thousands of yuan is really unbearable for them. For Wang Dalin, it¡¯s a piece of cake. His signing fee is only 1 million! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 110 The bustling NBA trade market You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! (This 4,000-word chapter requires subscription, monthly votes, and rewards!) After the Asian Championships, the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team disbanded on the spot, and Wang Dalin had a breakup meal with everyone. Everyone was very happy at the banquet, and everyone was a little drunk. Wang Dalin was also drunk. He had no chance to drink in the United States. Since he returned to China, he simply drank openly He was 19 years old, but he was already an adult! Wang Dalin didn¡¯t wake up until noon the next day after drinking so much wine. Wang Zhizhi was still sleeping soundly on the bed next to him. Wang Dalin got up and took a shower. When he walked out of the bathroom, Wang Zhizhi finally woke up: "Dalin, are you going to go to Detroit directly or go back to Chongqing first?" "It's better to go back to Chongqing first!" Wang Dalin said with a smile, "I've been out for more than a year. No matter what, I have to go home and have a look roughly, what about you?" "I'm also planning to go back to Beijing to spend a few days with my family, and maybe go to Dallas next week! To be honest, I really didn't think NBA stars were so good before. In Atlanta in 1996, I surpassed David Robinson. Really? But after seeing your performance this time, I am convinced! Dalin, even though you are a few years younger than me, you are much better at playing than me. I have to go to Dallas to train hard and strive to be the main player in the new season. !¡± "Roughly speaking, what you lack now is not skills or physical fitness, but self-confidence!" Wang Dalin said sternly, "To be honest, your post skills in the low post and mid-range are better than mine. Believe in yourself! Go to Dallas After that, don¡¯t always want to pass the ball as soon as you get it, you must play uniquely, the Americans will do this!¡± Wang Dalin is not talking nonsense, most American coaches think this way. If you always dare not attack personally after getting the ball, he will think that you lack self-confidence and will never become a great player. And as long as you dare to fight, even if the offensive efficiency is not high, he will look high on you and think that you have strong self-confidence and you may be able to achieve something with time. Kobe entered the NBA when he was 18 years old. In his rookie season, he dared to take the winning shot in the playoffs. Although it ended in failure, fans in Los Angeles confirmed that this young man has the style of a general and dared to take responsibility at critical moments. . Although James performed very well in the regular season during the Cavaliers 1.0 period, he "passed the blame" to his teammates at critical moments. Fans would think that he had no leadership qualities and did not dare to take responsibility. Wang Zhizhi does not lack talent, and he also has very delicate offensive skills. His strength is completely enough to gain a foothold in the NBA. The only shortcoming is that he always lacks self-confidence, which is the main reason why he did not stay in the NBA in his previous life. In addition, although Wang Zhizhi has a cheerful personality, he only likes to socialize with people he knows well and is not good at communicating with unfamiliar teammates. This is also a very big shortcoming. Wang Dalin communicated with him for a long time, and the two parted regretfully. After flying back to Chongqing, Wang Dalin met his parents in this life for the first time. Although he doesn¡¯t have deep feelings for his parents in this life, they are close relatives after all, and the three of them can be considered relatively harmonious after getting along for a few days. It¡¯s time to return to the United States. He knows a little about the situation in Detroit, but he¡¯s not very clear about it. He wants to go there as soon as possible, and first needs to solve the problem of food, housing and transportation. Not to mention food, accommodation and transportation are both big things! Last season, he rented a house in Miami. Now that he has signed a big contract and signed so many commercial endorsements, his annual after-tax income reaches tens of millions of dollars. He feels that he should buy a house in Detroit. As for the triphe is going to find someone to transport his car to Detroit. He drives the Ford Raptor very comfortably and has no plans to change the car for the time being. On the last day he left China, he made a phone call to Zhang Zilin, not to urge him to pay back the money, but to simply say goodbye. Wang Dalin pretended to be relaxed and made a few jokes with Zhang Zilin. Zhang Zilin also laughed happily, but in the end both of them were a little reluctant to leave Although the two young hearts were thousands of miles apart at the moment, they seemed to be close at hand. It's just a farewell, I don't know when we will see each other again. Wang Dalin first went back to Miami, checked out the rental house and checked in the car, and then said goodbye to Riley in person. The old man and the young man chatted for a long time, and Wang Dalin could tell from the increasing wrinkles on his face The "magic teller" who once dominated the NBA league was really old! ¡­¡­ When he came to Detroit, Wang Dalin first rented a two-bedroom house, and then went to Dumas to help find a suitable villa. Hearing that Wang Dalin wants to buy a house, Dumas is naturally very happyThe team supports itIt was Chris Webber who renewed his contract with the Kings for a whopping $122.7 million over seven years. This is the second-largest contract in NBA history, second only to Kevin Garnett's six-year, $126 million deal from the Timberwolves. Dollar. Since the trade market opened, nearly 20 teams have been in contact with Weber, and several of them are Weber's favorite teams. But he chose to stay in Sacramento because of loyalty? No, because the Kings offered him the highest price! Then, the New Yorkers also offered Alan Houston a maximum salary of US$100 million over six years, successfully renewing the contract of the league's top shooting guard. Last season, Houston averaged 18.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, shooting 44.9% from the field and 38.1% from three-point range. He is indeed a first-class shooting guard in the league, but he cannot be regarded as the best shooting guard. At least he cannot compare with Iverson, Carter, Kobe and McGrady. So, this is obviously a premium contract, but the ¡°premium¡± is not too much. The Mavericks also successfully renewed Michael Finley's contract. His contract is 7 years and 102.2 million US dollars. Judging from his performance last season, it is worth the money. In San Antonio, David Robinson and the team went through many negotiations and finally renewed his contract for 2 years and 20 million US dollars. Although this legendary center is already 35 years old, he still averaged 14.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.5 blocks per game last season. The "Admiral" is indeed old, but he is still the league's top interior defender. Duncan, who is at his peak, cannot live without his support. In addition, Dikembe Mutombo, Aaron McGee and Te'Elon Hill, who became free agents this season, have successfully renewed their contracts with the 76ers. The Raptors also retained the three most famous free agents in the team, namely Antonio Davis, Alvin Williams and Jerome Williams. "Staying behind" has become the mainstream of this year's free market, especially for some high-end free agents. The main reason for such a large area of ??"stay-at-home" is that the league will officially implement the "luxury tax" system next season. The 1:1 collection intensity has seriously affected the normal operation of the team, and many NBA teams have also lost money in their actions. In the past, the courage to spend a lot of money has become timid. In fact, the Heat did not match Wang Dalin's contract, mainly for this reason. In addition to these "left-behinds", the free market naturally also has a large number of transactions. The first is Derek Anderson, the current No. 3 player on the Spurs. He forced the team to sign and trade him for 6 years and $42 million, and left the Spurs for the Trail Blazers. In addition, the Raptors signed legendary center Hakeem Olajuwon for 4 years and $22 million, but Wang Dalin knew that Olajuwon would retire after this season. In addition, Patrick Ewing, who is also about to retire, signed a contract with the Magic for two years and US$4.6 million. For Ewing, who averaged 9.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game last season, this is the most decent contract he can get in the league. Along with Ewing, 36-year-old veteran Horace Grant came to the Magic. His contract amount is US$7.42 million over three years, which is slightly higher than Ewing. In addition, Joe Smith, who was nicknamed "the most mediocre No. 1 pick in the 1990s", also signed. He reached a six-year, $34 million contract with the Timberwolves. Because he cheated with the Timberwolves, Smith was forced to leave the team, but when he left, he vowed to come back a year later. Sure enough, Smith really came back a year later. I have to say that sometimes the communication between people is so congenial! The biggest trade in the free market this year took place, that is, the Suns traded last season's assist king Jason Kidd and the Nets' Stephon Marbury, and the two exchanged clubs. The Bulls were not to be outdone. They first signed the Hornets' restricted free agent Eddie Robinson to a five-year, $32 million contract, and then traded rookie forward Brian Skena from the Raptors. Oakley and a 2002 second-round pick. However, another transaction of the Bulls is confusing. They actually traded Elton Brand from the Clippers for the second pick an All-Star power forward who averaged 20+10 points per game. , the other is a rookie who doesn¡¯t know how he will perform yet, and he doesn¡¯t know whether he will make a loss or gain? Of course, Wang Dalin knew that they had lost blood! The NBA free market is bustling with excitement, but all this pales in comparison to the news that Michael Jordan is coming back with the Washington Wizards (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 111 Jordan comes back (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! If you ask what was the biggest news in the NBA in the summer of 2001, everyone will probably tell you the same answer - Michael Jordan is coming back again! That¡¯s right, ¡°that man¡± is coming back again! Although the "God of Basketball" is 38 years old, he still claims to be able to beat most outside players in the league As for how many people are willing to believe his words, it is unknown. If it were two years ago, or even a year ago, perhaps most people would be willing to believe this sentence to be true. But now it is 2001, three years have passed since Jordan last retired. No one can guarantee how much success the once invincible "God of Basketball" has left. However, Jordan's comeback is undoubtedly a great thing for the current league, because since Jordan retired, the NBA's ratings have been getting lower and lower in the past three years, even if David Stern continues to package Hill, Carter, It doesn't help that there are many "Jordan successors" such as Kobe Bryant. Since "Jordan's successor" doesn't work, why not just let Jordan himself come back and give it a try? There is another theory about Jordan's comeback. The main reason is the "911" incident that shocked the world on September 11, 2001! After the "911" incident, various industries in the United States were in a very depressed state, and the NBA was naturally no exception. So David Stern personally invited Jordan to come out in order to save the American football market. Out of his love for basketball and his country, Jordan decided to agree after careful consideration. But of course Wang Dalin knew more than that. Maybe Jordan did have the lofty ideal of saving the American football market, but his main purpose for coming back this time was obviously not this. This matter has to start in 2000. At that time, Wizards owner Abby Pauling, who had been reduced to nothing for many years, felt deeply pressured The team had a poor record and was not making money. So the shrewd owner approached Jordan, sold 20% of his shares to him, and invited him to serve as the team's president of operations. However, Jordan has had the desire to become the owner of a team since he retired. A mere 20% of the shares can only allow him to sit in the top box and smoke cigars, but it does not allow him to own the entire team. While Jordan himself cannot play, the Wizards' ticket sales are still very poor, and even fell to the bottom of the league last season. Jordan believes that he must do a better job helping the Wizards on the court than in the luxury box, so in order to save the Wizards' market, Jordan decided to come back again. Of course, the main reason why he wants to save the Wizards' market is because Paulin has made a verbal promise to him - as long as Jordan comes back to play two seasons with the Wizards, when the market improves in the future, Paulin will take over his hands. Sell ??more of his shares to him and make him the big boss of this team. This condition undoubtedly hit Jordan¡¯s fate, so he came back! Of course, Jordan has his own way of saying it. When a reporter asked him why he chose to come back, he responded like this - "After I saw the news discussing Kobe and Carter in the newspaper, I felt that the media was overly praising the new generation of stars, so I wanted to return to the game. Compete with these juniors and let you see what real basketball is!" This statement is naturally very good and very gimmick. Wang Dalin believes that this should be one of the reasons why Jordan chose to come back, but it is just one of the reasons. The most important thing is that he wants to own this team in two years. This is the most fundamental reason for Jordan's comeback. ¡­¡­ When Jordan announced at a press conference that he had signed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Washington Wizards and would return this season, the entire North American media immediately went into a climax. What could be better than Jordan's comeback? Who is more influential than Jordan? Since Professor Naismith invented the game of basketball in 1891, no one has had such a huge influence as Jordan in more than 100 years. His influence is not limited to the United States or North America, but has already radiated to the entire earth! It can be said that in this era, even if you are not a basketball fan, or even hate basketball, if someone asks you "Who is the most famous basketball star?" You should be able to answer that name without hesitation! To put it a bit exaggerated - in any country in the world that has launched basketball in this era, I am afraid that 9,999 people out of 10,000 people know the name Michael Jordan! ??The older generation of stars, such as Drexler, Olajuwon, Ewing, Barkley, Payton, Malone, etc.They all accepted interviews with reporters, and they all agreed that Jordan still has the ability to dominate the league! Wang Dalin is a little disdainful of this You old guys, have you recalled the fear of being dominated by Jordan again? As a time traveler and a "senior fan", how come he doesn't know what Jordan will be like after his comeback? There is a saying, even the 40-year-old Jordan can still be regarded as one of the top ten swingmen in the league, but to say that he can still dominate the league isn't this nonsense? No one can defeat one enemy, that is time! So does Jordan! Therefore, in Wang Dalin's view, Jordan has already become famous, and it is undoubtedly a very unwise thing for him to choose to come back when his peak is no longer there! To use Chinese idioms to describe it, it is ¡°an unnecessary step¡±, ¡°adding more than necessary¡±, and ¡°succumbing to the dog¡¯s tail¡±! But at this moment, Jordan obviously doesn't know what impact his comeback will have on his career. His past glory has made the "God of Basketball" obviously overconfident, even a little arrogant. As soon as he arrived at the Wizards, he sent away former All-Star forward Mitch Richmond, who still performed well last season, as well as Juwan Howard who was in his prime, former NBA assists leader Rod Strickland and others. With the main players, plus Richard Hamilton who was sent away before, this Wizards team has actually undergone a major overhaul. Jordan just wants to tell everyone with practical actions - your uncle is still your uncle, and I can succeed without strong teammates! Speaking of strong teammates, the Wizards have prepared one for him, and that is his North Carolina junior Stackhouse This super scorer ranked second in the scoring list last season, is he strong enough? However, Jordan, his North Carolina junior, did not give him a good look. When Stackhouse asked if he could be the spokesperson for "aj", Jordan told him contemptuously: "'aj' will only go with the most beautiful people." Excellent players cooperate, obviously you are not the best player!" Originally, this scene happened to Hamilton, but this time it happened to Stackhouse I have to say that Hamilton was lucky to come to the Pistons early, but Stackhouse was unlucky. Therefore, although Jordan's comeback made Washington's football market immediately start to improve, this team is currently full of hidden dangers, and no one can predict how far it will reach in the new season. ¡­¡­ For the Pistons, Dumars and Carlisle did not pay too much attention to the news of Jordan's comeback. They have more important things to do. After acquiring Hamilton and Billups, the Pistons' main back line candidates have been determined. As for the team's original main point guard Chucky Atkins, this undrafted point guard who is only 180cm tall is obviously not in Carlisle. within the plan. Last season, Atkins averaged 29.2 minutes per game, contributing 12 points, 2.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 0.8 steals, shooting 39.9% from the field and 35.7% from the three-point range. It can be seen from the data that this small point guard is obviously weak, with low offensive efficiency, weak defensive ability, and too short. He is often targeted by the opponent on the defensive end. Although Carlisle does not only focus on defense like Larry Brown or Jeff Van Gundy, he still attaches great importance to the team's offensive and defensive balance. Currently, the team has Ben Wallace, a strong defensive player, on the inside. Among the outside players, the defensive level of Billups and Hamilton is also above the standard. Wang Dalin was also a very good defensive assistant for the Heat last season. A good player, so the team's starting lineup seems to have gradually taken shape in Carlisle's mind. Since the Pistons signed Wang Dalin, they later traded Hamilton and Billups, and they also made several small transactions in August. They first used Martin Cliffs, a second-year rookie, and some cash to exchange for veteran Joan Barry from the Kings. The backup shooting guard averaged less than 20 minutes per game in three seasons with the Kings. He was able to score 6.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.9 steals. He shot 43.7% from the field and 37.3% from the three-point range. He is a very good outside 3D player. . Then, they traded substitute John Wallace and part of the cash for starting power forward Clifford Robinson from the Suns. From Wang Dalin¡¯s perspective, this deal is really strange, considering that Robinson was the starting power forward for the Suns last season. He averaged 16.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, shooting 42.2% from the field and 36.1% from the three-point range. Although his defense can only be regarded as the league average, his offensive power is quite good, especially his three-point shooting ability, which is definitely among the top five in the league among interior players. And who is John Wallace? Last season, he averaged only 13.2 minutes per game, and averaged only 5.9 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. His position in the rotation was very low, almost close to the water cooler keeper. Such a player was actually exchanged for a strong and high-quality power forward like Robinson. Wang Dalin analyzed that it should be because Robinson is close to 35 years old, and the Suns believe that his condition will soon decline off a cliff. But who knew that this power forward who entered the league in 1989 would not retire until 2007, and his peak form would remain for three more seasons! In this way, amidst the doubts from the outside world, the Pistons hired another starting power forward for nothing (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)sp; And who is John Wallace?

After acquiring Clifford Robinson, Dumars continued to hunt for gold in the free agent market. He first signed combo guard Damon Jones for three years and $1.96 million, and then signed a non-guaranteed one-year base salary of $470,000. The sexual contract signed blue-collar center Victor Alexander. With the addition of Rodney White, whom the team selected with the 9th overall pick in the first round this year, and former veteran players, the Pistons' roster already has 14 players. They are: Centers: Ben Wallace (No. 3, annual salary of $4.7 million), Victor Alexander (No. 9, annual salary of $470,000); Power forwards: Clifford Robinson (No. 30, annual salary of $7.66 million), Mickey Moore (No. 31, annual salary of $2.53 million), Rodney White (No. 5, annual salary of $1.69 million); Small forwards: Wang Dalin (No. 8, annual salary of US$10.63 million), Corris Williams (No. 34, annual salary of US$4 million), Brian Cardinal (No. 35, annual salary of US$470,000); Shooting guards: Richard Hamilton (No. 32, annual salary of $2.11 million), Michael Curry (No. 12, annual salary of $2.4 million), Joan Barry (No. 20, annual salary of $3.18 million); Point guards: Chauncey Billups (No. 1, annual salary of $2.48 million), Chucky Atkins (No. 7, annual salary of $3.3 million), Damon Jones (No. 14, annual salary of $570,000) ). The allowed roster of the NBA is 15 people, and the Pistons are still one short of that. Carlisle clearly asked Dumars to find a meat shield center, but it is not easy to find such a center in the league now. Due to the strength of the Lakers and O'Neal, as well as the aging of the outstanding centers in the 1990s, meat shield centers are now not only rare in the league, but also very valuable. Someone may ask: Hasn¡¯t the Pistons already exceeded the salary cap of $42.5 million? Why do you still want to sign players? Aren¡¯t you afraid of paying the ¡°luxury tax¡±? As mentioned before, the NBA will officially implement the "luxury tax" system starting this season, so many teams do not dare to spend too much when signing contracts. However, no matter in the original time and space or in this life, no NBA team paid the "luxury tax" in the 2001-2002 season. Why is this? It¡¯s time to popularize science here. To put it simply, the "luxury tax" is established because most NBA team owners do not want player salaries to exceed a certain percentage of the team's total revenue. They are mainly afraid that super rich people like Paul Allen will directly spend money to "buy" a championship. So the "luxury tax" was formulated to specifically punish "rich teams". First of all, there is a so-called "contract ceiling" in the NBA labor terms, which is 55% of "basketball business income (bri)". Secondly, according to the league¡¯s ¡°luxury tax¡± regulations, a portion of the player¡¯s salary each year (not exceeding 10%) will be temporarily withheld by the league. If the player¡¯s total salary exceeds the contract limit after settlement that year, the withheld salary will first be used to compensate the team owner. The amount of compensation is greater than the amount by which the salary exceeds the contract ceiling, and the remaining money is returned to the players. If the amounts are equal, they will be equal. If the withheld wages are not enough to compensate, the NBA will begin to impose a "luxury tax." For example, the basketball revenue in the 2001-2002 season was US$2.667 billion, the contract ceiling (55%) was US$1.467 billion, and the total player salary and bonuses were US$1.598 billion. The player salary temporarily withheld by the league (not exceeding 10% of the total player salary ) 153 million U.S. dollars, and the player's income exceeding the contract limit is 131 million U.S. dollars. As you can see, the portion of a player's income that exceeds the contract ceiling does not exceed the portion temporarily withheld by the league, so the league will not levy a "luxury tax." According to calculations, the luxury tax will only be triggered when the total income of players in the league exceeds 61.11% of bri. Player income in the 2001-2002 season was 59.8% of bri, so no team needed to pay the luxury tax - even if the Knicks' salary this season reached a staggering $85 million. (Lao Wang: In order to understand this, I have been studying for a long time!) Closer to home, Dumars searched everywhere but could not find a suitable meat shield center. He even asked Wang Dalin about Ernest Brown, the Heat's second-round pick who was waived last year, and learned about his playing style. Very soft, I had no choice but to smile bitterly. Wang Dalin suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Qiao, I know a powerful center, you must be very satisfied!" Dumas asked hurriedly: "What's your name? Are you American?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "His name is Gates. I don't know if he is American, but I know he is very tall and very strong he should not be smaller than Shaq!" "What? Not younger than Shaq?Wait!"Mas was shocked, then thought for a moment and suddenly said, "I know who you are talking about, it turns out to be Gates Joseph!" Gates¡¯ full name is Gates MacArthur Fitzgerald Joseph. He was born in Dominica, but he studied in college in the United States. The College of Saint Rose, where Gates attended, is located in Albany, the capital of New York State. It is a comprehensive private university. In college, Gates played in the NCAA-D2 league. With his huge body and unparalleled strength, he performed very well in college. However, since Gates has not played in the NCAA-D1 league, he did not participate in the NBA draft. Instead, he played in the Greek League for a year, and then played in low-level leagues such as IBA, USBL, and IBL. In the 2001-2002 season, he played for the Toronto Raptors and Denver Nuggets, but was waived after only playing 2 games. Gates is indeed very strong, comparable in size and strength to O'Neal, but his speed is too slow and he often cannot keep up with the team's rhythm in games, so he failed to gain a foothold in the NBA last season. However, Wang Dalin believes that as long as the head coach is willing to give him a chance, he will definitely be able to perform, because his performance in the CBA league in his previous life really left a deep impression on Wang Dalin. This 218cm tall and 143kg inside giant has shown extremely terrifying dominance in the CBA league. His record of 38 rebounds in a single game has not been broken by anyone until 2021, not even our Chairman Yao. Gates is recognized by fans as one of the strongest foreign centers in CBA history. Because of his huge size and rough appearance, Chinese fans nicknamed him "Tarzan." In fact, Wang Dalin has a better candidate in his mind, and that is Battle, but this guy is currently the star of the Beijing Shougang team, and it is not easy to get him. Wang Dalin thought of Gates immediately after thinking of Battelle, so he recommended it to Dumas. Dumars pondered for a while and asked: "I know Gates. His performance last season was very poor and he is not qualified to play in the NBA at all?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Qiao, don't you look at how long he played in total last season? If I remember correctly, he only played 16 minutes in total in the 4 games between the Nuggets and Raptors, right? This What can we tell after a while?¡± He really can¡¯t believe that if Battelle can gain a foothold in the NBA in the future, why can¡¯t Gates do the same? You must know that in the CBA arena, Gates has never lost against Battle. It is true that Butler's mid-range shot is quite good, but Gates has no power outside the three-second zone. But at present, the Pistons don¡¯t need a center who is good at attacking. They just want a meat shield Really compared to the meat shield attribute, during this period, who in the entire CBA league can match Gates? Since the 2001-2002 CBA season won¡¯t start until December, Gates probably doesn¡¯t know where he will be doing nothing yet. It should be easy to find him. Dumas was still hesitant, so Wang Dalin had no choice but to say: "Qiao, what do you think of this? You should contact Gates for a trial training first, and at least see if it works?" Dumas nodded and said: "Yes, no matter whether it works or not, let him try it first!" ¡­¡­ Dumas was very efficient at work. It only took him one day to contact Gates, who was unemployed at home. Gates was so happy when he heard that the Pistons wanted him to come for a tryout that he took his agent with him. coming. When he came to the trial training, all the Pistons players had already assembled and were undergoing recovery training under the leadership of the assistant coach. Carlisle first asked Gates to complete the static test. This guy is 218cm tall and has no moisture at all. However, he weighs 148kg and has a body fat rate of 16.8%. It seems that he has gained a lot of weight during the time he has not played ball. With a wingspan of 233cm, even taking into account his abnormal shoulder width, the length of his arms is already quite outstanding; his standing height is 293cm, 1cm taller than Chairman Yao, and he looks like an iron tower when standing under the basket. And his palm length is as high as 29.8cm, what a pair of big hands! In terms of athletic ability: vertical jump of 65cm on the spot, vertical height of 72cm during run-up, 4.8 seconds for 34 sprints, 14.6 seconds for 100 meters running and jumping ability is really poor. But Gates¡¯ strength is really not limited. He easily completed 12 times of 84kg bench press in just 30 seconds, and the maximum bench press reached 190kg. Wang Dalin observed that he was obviously not at his limit yet. After the physical examination, Carlisle asked Gates to play one-on-one with Alexander, the backup center. As expected, Alexander was completely defeated by Gates. Alexander is only 206cm tall. Although he weighs 120kg, he is considered "full of tonnage", but it is obviously not enough to compete with Gates, an inside behemoth. Then, Carlisle asked Ben to try to defend Gates. This time Gates struggled. Ben doesn¡¯t just rely on his body when defending. His interior defensive skills are among the best in the league. Gates can only rely on his body to attack the basket, and his offensive skills are very rough. Of course, he can't make a big impact with this trick alone. Finally, Coach Carlisle also arranged a three-on-three game, and now all of Gates¡¯ trials are over. After the trial training, Coach Carlisle believed that Gates¡¯ strengths and weaknesses were outstanding, but he was undoubtedly qualified as a meat shield center, so he told Dumas his opinion. After careful consideration, Dumas talked with Gates¡¯ agent for more than an hour and finally gave him a one-year, non-guaranteed basic salary contract of US$470,000. With the addition of Gates, the Pistons¡¯ 15-man roster this season is finally complete (Remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com)bsp;Then, Carlisle asked Ben to try to defend Gates again, and this time Gates played very hard.

The Pistons have all the players, but Carlisle has been having a headache recently. After the team started training normally, everyone else was normal, except Billups who didn't behave quite right. When the group confrontation, he ignored who he gave him a push and dismissal, and only cared for individual singles; he didn't cover him, and he called the push and dismissal again After a breakthrough, this guy will always taunt the opponent who is defending inside, and the same is true when shooting and scoring; if he is defended by the opponent, this guy will keep cursing Anyway, anyone who defends him will get angry. The atmosphere of the team was messed up by this guy. Carlisle specially talked to Ben and Wang Dalin, hoping that they could have a good talk with Billups. Ben nodded and said: "Okay, I will talk to Chauncey!" Wang Dalin also said: "Rick, don't worry, we will take care of it!" Carlisle frowned and said, "You two, pay attention to your tone when talking to him, but don't make things worse!" Daben grinned and said: "Don't worry, coach, I know how to talk to him!" Wang Dalin slandered: "You know what? Look at your bulging arms. Do you want to beat Billups up first?" But on the surface, he smiled and said: "Chauncy is not the kind of person who makes trouble. We will definitely have a pleasant communication with him!" Carlisle's frown finally relaxed and he smiled: "Okay, I know Chauncey had a bad reputation before, but I believe he is an excellent point guard and can definitely help the team, so I hope you can Don¡¯t exclude him, but find a way to let him join our big family wholeheartedly!¡± As early as the team was assembled, Carlisle talked to three veteran players: Ben, Atkins and Michael Curry. In this conversation, Carlisle made it clear that Wang Dalin will be the core of the team and hopes that they can support this young man and help him establish prestige in the team. Da Ben and others all agreed. After the team assembled, they have spared no effort to maintain Wang Dalin's authority, so Wang Dalin did not encounter any trouble after coming to the team. Old players like Big Ben have feelings for this team, and they have no intention of becoming the boss. Robinson and Hamilton have just joined the team this season, so naturally they have no such thoughts. Robinson is too old and has long since lost his competitive spirit, while Hamilton is probably convinced by Wang Dalin's incredible 30+ triple-double performance in the regular season last season. It has to be said that the reason why Daben and the other senior players had such a good attitude toward Wang Dalin was probably because of that game They happened to be Wang Dalin's background in that game. Sometimes, the status in the world is like this, and it can only be achieved with real swords and guns! ¡­¡­ On this day, after the training, Wang Dalin greeted with a smile: "Everyone, don't leave in a hurry, I have some small gifts for everyone!" Everyone came around, and Da Ben grinned and laughed: "What gifts? Let's say okay, if you don't want those valuable ground stalls!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "How could it be? Come here and see, do you like it?" He opened a bag and saw that the bag was full of beautifully packaged small boxes with the "Tiffany" logo on them. It turns out that this guy has signed another commercial endorsement deal with Tiffany, the most famous jewelry brand in the United States. This package is a gift given to him by the merchant There is no signing fee this time, but this package of jewelry is not cheap. Hamilton opened the box and took a look. Inside was a platinum necklace with a diamond pendant strung on it. Not to mention dozens of broken diamonds, the largest main diamond had to be at least 2 carats. ¡°Obviously this necklace is worth a lot of money, at least tens of thousands of dollars. Da Ben smiled and said: "Wang, this gift of yours is not cheap. Are you signing an endorsement again?" Wang Dalin nodded and said: "Yes, I recently signed another endorsement, and I just wanted to 'find some benefits' for everyone. How do you like it? Do you like it?" "Of course I like it," Daben said with a smile, "but we are all big men, so if you give me this thingwe can't wear it!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "You can take it back and give it to your wife. If you don't have a wife, give it to your girlfriend Just tell me, brother, do you like this gift?" Da Ben smiled and said: "Of course I like it. Do you like it?" Everyone laughed and said: "I like it! DaIt¡¯s time to look for goods.¡± If it wasn't for "parallel imports", why would the Timberwolves be so anxious to trade him away? The Wizards' first-round pick is indeed valuable, but if Billups had performed like he did when he won FMVP last season, would they still give him away? Wang Dalin smiled and said: "I've heard of it, but that's all in the past, so don't think about those unhappy things anymore!" Big Ben also smiled and said: "That's right, why do you keep thinking about those unhappy things in the past? I lost the draft in the draft back then, and I'm still playing ball now!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Speaking of losing, don't I feel the same way? Chauncey, your life is much better than ours. You were the top pick in the lottery back then!" Billups smiled and said: "It's nothing special to be the third most popular person. Didn't they just call me the 'parallel import third flower'?" Big Ben smiled and said: "Chauncy, let those people see how good you are this season!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Yes, we all support you!" Billups was inexplicably moved, poured another glass of beer and said, "Come on, don't say anything else, let's go one more time!" ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 114: Nightclub Bondage (Third update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The 2001-2002 season is destined to be recorded in NBA history. Before the start of this season, the league promulgated four new rules, namely legalization of zone defense, three-second violation of penalty area defense, reduction of the time for dribbling the ball through the frontcourt from 10 seconds to 8 seconds, and accidental physical contact of players while defending. Not considered a foul. The last three were basically taken for granted by fans before Wang Dalin crossed over. The second was actually directed at O'Neal. This behemoth inside is not only unstoppable on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end as long as he is in the basket. The next stop is like a giant pillar optimizing the sky. Who dares to easily stroke his beard? Of course, this rule is also related to the first one. After zone defense, if there is O'Neal under the basket, should others be allowed to play? The purpose of the last two is very obvious, which is to enhance the speed of offense and defense transition and physical confrontation, and enhance the enjoyment of the game. ?????????????????? However, in the later small ball era, the NBA league changed from physical combat under the basket with muscle sticks to a two-way race and shooting competition This obviously went against the original intention of David Stern. This season¡¯s preseason was held as scheduled, and the Pistons¡¯ first opponent was the Bulls. After experiencing a failed season, the Bulls sent away star Elton Brand in the summer. The team's strength has declined instead of increasing. It is obvious that they will experience another failed season. The current star of the Bulls is Ron Moser. He averaged 19.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks per game last season. He is a very good swingman. The "second boss" is Ron Artest, who is very familiar to Chinese fans. He averaged 11.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game last season. His offensive performance was only so-so, but his defensive performance was very good. Both can contribute 2 steals. In addition, the performance of Brad Miller and Marcus Fizer is pretty good, especially Miller averaged 8.9 points and 7.4 rebounds in about 25 minutes per game last season, showing his outstanding performance. Very good potential. The Bulls selected high school student Eddie Curry with the fourth pick in the first round of the draft this year. The team has high expectations for this young center. And second-year Jamal Crawford is said to have made great progress this offseason and should assume a more important role in the team. In addition, they also have experienced veterans like Charles Oakley (not Charles Barkley) on their team, so the Bulls coaching staff and staff members believe that they are not without power against the Pistons Of course , this is just what they think. ¡­¡­ At the beginning of the game, the Bulls' starting lineup was point guard Travis Best, shooting guard Trenton Hassell, small forward Ron Moser, power forward Ron Artest, center Brad Miller. The starting lineup sent by the Pistons is point guard Chauncey Billups, shooting guard Richard Hamilton, small forward Wang Dalin, power forward Clifford Robinson, and center Ben Wallace. When the ball jumped, Ben jumped high and won the ball for the Pistons on the first attack Miller has always been a floor center whether he was young or at the end of his career. Jumping has never been his strong point. Billups controlled the ball steadily through halftime. He didn't panic at all when faced with Nestor's close defense. He just turned around and pushed him away with his butt. Nestor is 180cm tall and weighs only 83kg. How can he match a powerful point guard like Billups? During this period, there were only a few point guards in the league who could compete with Billups in terms of strength, except for the "first generation bearded man" Baron Davis and the "basic" Jason Kidd. Kaminari is not afraid of any point guard. Wang Dalin came up at the right time to set a pick-and-roll screen for him. Billups understood it, accelerated and got rid of Best, and then stopped in the mid-range to shoot. The opponent Miller quickly came out to cover up the defense. Unexpectedly, he immediately passed the ball to Wang Dalin. This pass was not unexpected at all, the passing movement was clear, but when Wang Dalin received the ball, there was no defender within two meters in front of him. "Whoops!" Wang Dalin hit the mid-range shot and immediately high-fived Billups to celebrate. Billups smiled and said: "Third brother, are my passes comfortable?" Wang Dalin showed an embarrassed smile and said: "It's comfortable! The second brother's passing is awesome!" Billups laughed, and then said: "I will give you a more comfortable one later!" Since the three of them chatted in the nightclub that night, they have become more and more cheerful.And some people's data are not very good-looking, or they are relatively inferior compared with top players, but the real experts know very well how precious this kind of player is. ?Obviously, Hamilton is this type of player. His shooting percentage is not at the top of the league, and his scoring average is not among the top of the league, but his offensive efficiency is very high, and the average time he holds the ball per game is not even as good as many substitute players. Hamilton not only has the strongest catching and shooting ability in the league, but also has very good defensive skills, which is even more valuable. In later generations, there was a player who was very similar to him. That person's name was Klay Thompson. Their playing styles were exactly the same. The only difference was that Thompson mostly shot three-pointers after receiving the ball, while Hamilton shot most of his shots. It's just the middle distance. In addition, their performance on the defensive end is both above the standard. Of course, "Tang Shen" is more defensively motivated. The Pistons made steady hits in two consecutive attacks, but the Bulls were a little anxious in their second attack. Moser held the ball and beat Wang Dalin in singles, using his speed advantage to throw him away by one position, and then immediately took off for a layup before Ben had time to cover up the defense "Snapped!" Wang Dalin¡¯s body-chasing game is both ¡°iron-blooded¡± and ¡°brutal¡±. He is worthy of having played with Mourning last season. Moser's face was full of depression. His goal had clearly pushed Wang Dalin away by one position, but he still blocked the layup. He could only sigh in his heart: "How come there are so many wingspans like this in the league?" Weird?" ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 115 Are the Pistons so strong? (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Wang Dalin¡¯s blocking greatly boosted the morale of his teammates, especially his two ¡°sworn brothers¡± who became even more excited to play. Here Billups just made a sudden shot and hit a three-pointer on the offensive end. When he turned around, he blocked Miller's layup under the basket After these two guys got excited, they kept spraying at the opponent's players. They talked trash, which was very different from Wang Dalin's memory of their always taciturn image. Wang Dalin was also quite speechless. He didn¡¯t expect that these two guys would become like this after they became sworn friends. Look at Hamilton, he can always show off his coquettish moves without the ball. He can always shoot after catching the ball. If he misses a hit, he immediately escapes back to his own half Ah, no, he can still hit it most of the time. That's right. Let¡¯s see what ¡°emotionless killer¡± means? Look at you two again, with your playful and smiling faceshow do you behave? Facing a player like Hamilton who almost doesn¡¯t hold the ball at all, Bulls shooting guard Hassell almost collapsed How the hell can I defend against this? After only 8 minutes of the first quarter, Hamilton scored 8 points on 4 of 6 mid-range shots, while Wang Dalin and Billups performed equally well, both scoring 7 points. Unlike players with "assassin attributes" like Hamilton, Wang Dalin and Billups undoubtedly performed more comprehensively. Among them, Wang Dalin also contributed 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal in these 8 minutes, while Billups sent 3 assists and 1 steal. Ben didn¡¯t score a point in 8 minutes, but he grabbed 6 rebounds and blocked 2 shots. His performance was worthy of the title of the Pistons¡¯ inside pillar. In addition, Robinson also hit a three-pointer, fouled under the basket and made two free throws, scoring 5 points and 1 rebound. The Pistons led the Bulls by 11 points at 29:18, and the game began to enter the rotation stage. The Bulls replaced 4 starters, leaving only Artest on the court among the starting five. For the Pistons, Carlisle went directly to 5 up and 5 down, replacing Mickey Moore, Rodney White, Coris Williams, Jon Barry and Chucky Atkins. This lineup belongs to the "four old and one new" lineup. This year's No. 9 pick White was very excited as soon as he came on the court. After receiving the ball, he began to frequently attack the opponent's inside. The young man is indeed full of energy, and his running and jumping ability is indeed strong, but the Bulls' backup power forward Marcus Fizer is also a second-year rookie, and he is strong and can run and jump. These two are a match. Ascended. After several rounds of fighting with each other, White was beaten to the point of collapse by Fizer. Feizer made 3 of 3 shots and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 9 points in one breath, while White made 0 of 3 shots and not only failed to score a point, but also committed two fouls As Feizer With their outstanding performance during this period, the Bulls gradually closed the score, and by the end of the first quarter they were only 5 points behind. The Pistons' draft vision is indeed not very good. There are so many outstanding rookies below the 9th pick, but they didn't even take a fancy to any of them! Let's take a look Joe Johnson with the 10th pick, Richard Jefferson with the 13th pick, Zach Randolph with the 19th pick, Gerald Wallace with the 25th pick Warriors, Samuel Dalembert with the 26th pick, Tony Parker with the 28th pick This is only the first-round pick. There are also strong players like Gilbert Arenas in the second-round pick. No matter who you choose, they are better than White, right? Wang Dalin sat on the bench and gritted his teeth as he watched. He only regretted that he had contacted the Pistons too late. If we had contacted him earlier and casually "offered a plan" in front of Dumas, wouldn't we have been able to select a future All-Star? "Well, we must talk to Dumas in advance next June. We can't choose such an unreliable rookie again!" Wang Dalin made a decision while complaining in his heart. Seeing the poor performance of the No. 9 pick, Carlisle had no choice but to take him off the field and replace him with Alexander. "Snake Man" Moore immediately swung to the fourth position. Although Moore's defense is not very good, his mid-range shooting is good. He will not suffer against Feizer. After all, he is also a veteran player. In the first half of the second quarter, Carlisle replaced Gates and played for a while. This huge beast shocked the Bulls generals as soon as it came on the stage - good guy, what did this guy eat to grow up? Yes, so tall and mighty? They did replace Eddie Curry, but even this future "little shark" is one size smaller than Gates. However, the two people look quite similar, as if they were biological brothers. Both sidesBoth sent out slow big centers, and the pace of the game suddenly slowed down. As the two giant inside players pecked each other for several rounds, the Pistons gradually opened the point difference to double digits. "Baby Shark"'s low-post offensive skills at this time were extremely rough. When he encountered Gates, who was stronger than him, he had no temper at all when he was guarded. Gates, on the other hand, played very actively. Not only did he work hard when setting up screens for Atkins and others, he also did a good job of eating cakes under the basket. Curry basically couldn't guard him It's not necessarily that he couldn't guard him. The main thing is that I don¡¯t want to be defensive. Although Curry has good low-post offensive skills in the future, he has not liked defense since his rookie period, and sometimes he was too lazy to grab rebounds. This bad habit even lasted until the day he retired. ¡­¡­ When Wang Dalin and several other main players appeared again, the Bulls gradually showed signs of collapse. By the end of the third quarter, the score had reached 88:67, and the fourth quarter became completely garbage time. However, the Pistons' bench players also played very actively during garbage time. Not only did they not let the Bulls catch up, but they also widened the point difference even further. The final score of this game was 114:87, and the Pistons won the first game of the preseason. Wang Dalin only played a total of 21 minutes in this preseason game. He made 6 of 10 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 19 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal. , Detroit¡¯s debut was quite stunning. And the best player in this game is not necessarily Wang Dalin. Hamilton, who is also new to the game, and the Pistons' "old man" Ben all performed very well. Hamilton played 29 minutes and efficiently scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists on 9 of 16 shots. Ben basically had no performance on the offensive end, but he performed very well on the defensive end, scoring 4 points, 18 rebounds and 5 blocks. In addition, Billups contributed 18 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, and Robinson scored 15 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal. In a low-intensity game like the preseason, Gates performed quite well. He scored 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in 10 minutes. Both blocks were given to Eddie Curry. In the first game of the preseason, the Pistons defeated the Bulls 114:87, which was considered a piece of news for the media. And as the preseason games went one after another, people began to gradually notice this team that was not optimistic about everyone before the start of the season. In the second game, they defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 107:92 on the road; In the third game, they defeated the Indiana Pacers 119:88 at home; In the fourth game away from Chicago, they humiliated the Bulls again with a score of 99:76; In the fifth game, they returned to their home court to face the Cavaliers again. They withstood the pressure and won the game 101:90, living up to the enthusiastic cheers of the home fans; In the sixth game, they came to Indiana, known as the "Big Cornfield", and they defeated the Pacers 105:89 cleanly. ¡­¡­ The Pistons actually ended this year's preseason with a complete victory, and they averaged 107.5 points per game, while their opponents only averaged 87 points per game! How powerful is this? Although this is only a preseason game, the Pistons this season have obviously given fans a big surprise, and also slapped those who underestimated them before the start of the season. After the preseason, ESPN immediately released the latest team strength list. Although the defending champion Lakers have only 2 wins and 4 losses in the preseason, no one will underestimate them because of this. After all, FMVP O'Neal did not play at all last season, so they still top the list. Last season's "overall runner-up" 76ers team followed closely in second place. With the "Answer" and "African Mountain" pairing of one inside, one outside, one offense and one defense, no one will underestimate them Think about how they won a game against the powerful Lakers in the finals last season. Be victorious! The Spurs, who ranked first in the Western Conference during the regular season last season, ranked third. The old thief Bobo¡¯s team will never be absent from the strength list. If there is such a day, it must be because "Stone Buddha" retires! The Kings, who were third in the Western Conference in the regular season last season, ranked fourth. It has All-Star power forward Chris Webber and super scorer Peja Stojakovic who averages more than 20 points per game, plus Verrati Divac, Doug Christie, and Mike Bee. Compared with many good players, it is now generally believed that they will become the Lakers' most powerful opponent in the Western Conference. ¡­¡­ None of this is surprising, but the Pistons' ranking has reached ninth place quietly This is a bit surprising! Are the Pistons that strong? I guess everyone can¡¯t help but ask this questionAsk others, but also ask yourself. Didn¡¯t they rank 10th in the Eastern Conference and 21st in the league last year? They sent away the team's leading scorer Stackhouse in the offseason, and then made Wang Dalin, a second-year rookie who was still in his infancy, the leader of the team. That¡¯s not all, let¡¯s see what transactions they have made, right? An old guy born in 1966, a "prick" with the reputation of being a "parallel importer" and always having conflicts with his teammates. Only the thin shooting guard is a little more reliable, but he is just a guy. The third-year player¡­ Just like thatthey suddenly became stronger? This doesn¡¯t seem very scientific, does it?

An old guy born in 1966, a "prick" with the reputation of being a "parallel importer" and always having conflicts with his teammates. Only the thin shooting guard is a little more reliable, but he is just a guy. The third-year player¡­ Just like thatthey suddenly became stronger? This doesn¡¯t seem very scientific, does it?

On October 30, the NBA regular season of the 2001-2002 season finally kicked off. For the fans, after waiting for several months, they finally waited for this day, and their inner joy was no less than a holiday. For all NBA teams, after months of preparation, it¡¯s finally time to see the real deal. The Pistons will fly to Dallas early in the morning, and they will challenge the Mavericks led by Nelson tonight away from home. Speaking of Nelson, senior fans should know that his real name is Don Nelson, and he is a very famous coach in the NBA. It is also during this season that he will become the third "thousand-win coach" in NBA history The first two "thousand-win coaches" are Lanny Wilkens and Pat Riley. Of course, if you include the coaching career of ABA, which was not yet merged into the NBA, then Larry Brown is the third "Thousand Victory Coach", and Nelson can only be counted as the fourth Brown is still very good. Otherwise, Bill Davidson, the former Pistons owner, wouldn't have asked him to replace Carlisle. About to face off against one of the greatest head coaches in NBA history, Carlisle's heart is undoubtedly full of fear, but his character has always been soft yet strong, soeven if he is just a rookie coach, deep down he can't help but There was a bit of an urge to try. Isn¡¯t he a legendary coach? I will do the same sooner or later from now on! In the morning, everyone conducted a simple training, mainly practicing defensive tactics. In this drill, Carlisle was simply too satisfied with Wang Dalin, because there are too few players in the entire league who can imitate Nowitzki's style of play, and Wang Dalin happens to be one of them. During training, Wang Dalin imitated Nowitzki's usual high post singles, and Robinson, Moore and others who defended him were all beaten in agony. It has to be said that after equipping the skill "Aldridge's back-up", Wang Dalin's back-up attack level was immediately qualitatively improved. Although it is still not comparable to the "old driver" who became the "Golden Rooster Independent" in later generations, it can be In this era, it is already very powerful. Wang Dalin himself is also very happy. For a long time, he has been confused by the lack of back-up attack methods. Now he has turned into a "back-up master". How could he not be happy? ??Unknowingly, this 19-year-old has taken another solid step towards becoming the league's first-class star. There were certain changes in the starting lineup in the evening. Carlisle put Billups on the bench, and Atkins, who had been the team's starting point guard last season, returned to the starting lineup again. Wang Dalin speculated that Carlisle wanted to allow Billups to adapt slowly, and may also have the intention of appeasing Atkins, the "old man of the team." ¡°After all, you have been a starter for a season and you have played pretty well. If you are suddenly put on the bench, no one will feel comfortable. Atkins has clearly seen the general trend of the team, but he will definitely play hard on the court at this time. Even if the team wants to trade him, it must at least show his worth first, right? Atkins signed a 6-year, $22.5 million long-term contract with the Pistons. It is only the second year of the contract, and he does not want to be stigmatized as a "high salary and low ability". At the beginning of the game, Ben easily defeated Nowitzki when he jumped the ball Yes, the person who stood in the center circle and jumped the ball for the Mavericks in this game was the "old driver". He is the center in the starting lineup. Carlisle frowned slightly off the court. He was a little confused about Nelson's intention Why should Nowitzki be played as center? Do you just want to speed up the pace of the game? He was not wrong, that¡¯s what Old Nelson thought! After Wang Dalin scored the first goal, the Mavericks immediately sent a baseline kick. Point guard Steve Nash rushed to the frontcourt at lightning speed. Seeing that Atkins was a little behind in his defensive position, he pulled up and hit a three-pointer. The ball went cleanly into the basket. Not to be outdone, Wang Dalin turned around and immediately hit a three-pointer in front of Finley, and then Nash launched a fast break again. This time he just faked a shot in front of Atkins. When Atkins raised his center of gravity, he hit the ground and passed the ball accurately to connect with Finley who cut quickly. Wang Dalin wanted to catch up and give him a big block, but the "old driver" suddenly stood between him and Finley. He could only watch as Finley easily completed the shot in one step inside the free throw line. 5:5, both sides were evenly matched at the beginning of the game. The Pistons attacked for the third time. This time Wang Dalin mentioned the high post to catch the ball.?" is a proper S-level star skill. Even though Nowitzki has not yet developed this unsolvable "big killer" at this time, his current back-up skills should be considered A+ level, indeed. Better than Wang Dalin. As time passed bit by bit, the head coaches of both sides began to deploy their troops. The Pistons replaced Coris Williams, Mickey Moore and Joan Barry, with only Ben still on the court among the starting five. For the Mavericks, Nelson chose to beat the main team. He only replaced the tired Buckner and Howard, who had been fighting under the basket for a long time, and replaced them with "big bamboo poles" Sean Bradley and Tim Harda. Power. Yes, Hardaway was traded to Dallas in the offseason this year, and the Heat received a second-round draft pick from the Mavericks - which makes people lament that "the hero is late". The once All-Star point guard is now only He can get a second-round pick, and he has been completely reduced to a substitute player in the Mavericks! Seeing Hardaway stand up, Wang Dalin ran over to say hello to the big brother enthusiastically. The two had a good relationship before. But the stadium is just the stadium, not a place for players to reminisce about old times. The two just said hello and separated From this moment on, they are already opponents! No matter how good the relationship was before, brotherhood can only be put aside on the field, and there is only tit-for-tat between the two sides. Seeing Hardaway dribbling across the midfield line with a slightly heavy pace, Wang Dalin couldn't help but sigh on the bench The "Beetle" who once had a gorgeous style of play can no longer spread the wings under his carapace. ! Billups did not "respect the old and care for the young" when facing Hardaway. His close pressing caused Hardaway to make a dribbling error. Hardaway was eager to get the ball back, but Billups picked up the ball and rushed towards the frontcourt, leaving Hardaway with "exhaust" on his face. Originally, Hardaway played a total of 54 times with the Mavericks this season, 52 of which came as a substitute. He averaged 23.6 minutes per game, 9.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists. As a backup point guard, his performance is still very competent. However, as his physical fitness continues to decline, his shooting percentage is getting lower and lower, and his offensive efficiency is getting further and further behind last season. In the second half of the season, Hardaway was traded to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for former All-Star point guard Nick Van Exel. Of course, the old and frail Hardaway will definitely not be able to exchange for Axel. This is a big deal involving 7 people. Among them, the Mavericks sent Juwan Howard, Tim Hardaway, Donnell Harvey, a 2002 first-round draft pick and US$1 million in cash in exchange for Reeve LaFrentz, Nick Fan. Axel, Avery Johnson and Wahad. ¡­¡­ The words were returned to the home, and after the steal of Luspus, I came to the frontcourt and went directly to a empty basket. Looking back, Hardaway was extremely careful in dribbling this time and did not give Billups another opportunity to take advantage of. He played a solid pick-and-roll with Nowitzki, then stepped back and hit a three-pointer. Although Hardaway's shooting percentage has dropped to around 36%, his three-point shooting percentage still remains above 34% The "Old Beetle" obviously still has some oil in the tank. It was the Pistons' turn to attack. This time Billups and Williams played a wonderful double team. Williams made a mid-range shot after receiving a wonderful pass. Because he was traded to Detroit in the middle of the season, Corris Williams only played 27 games for the Pistons last season, but he averaged 15.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he was a starter for the Raptors and didn¡¯t come off the bench enough times, it is estimated that Wang Dalin might not have been able to get the ¡°Best Sixth Man¡± award last season. As a powerful small forward with a height of 201cm and a weight of 111kg, Williams' offensive efficiency at this distance within the free throw line last season was very high, especially his finishing rate at the basket was as high as 65.8%, which was already the best among forward players. Considered a leader. This season, he plays the role of the sixth man in Carlisle's tactical system, mainly as Wang Dalin's substitute, and occasionally swings to the fourth or second position. It is estimated that he can get an average of about 22 minutes of playing time per game. . ?Compared with Atkins, his offensive power is more powerful, his offensive efficiency is higher, and he also has good defensive ability. The first quarter ended quickly, and the two sides tied at 28:28. During the break, Wang Dalin noticed that Wang Zhizhi on the Mavericks bench had begun to warm up. This scene was apparently also seen by the on-site commentator and the "non-famous cross talk group" in the TNT live broadcast room. Smith smiled excitedly: "Charles, you see Wang Zhizhi is going to play, can this game be regarded as a 'Chinese Derby'? " Charles said disdainfully: "What's the 'Chinese Derby'? That guy is just a bench player, how can he be compared with Darling King?" Smith smiled and said: "What you said makes sense, and I can't even refute it!" In fact, the domestic media used to hype up every time Chinese players met in the NBA. They would call this kind of game "Chinese Derby". In fact, there is no such term in the American media "Chinese Derby" , at least both sides have to be all-stars, right? But in this life, when Wang Dalin and Wang Zhizhi meet for the first time in the NBA, what kind of sparks will fly between them? ¡­¡­(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)Now that Zhizhi is about to play, can this game be regarded as a "Chinese Derby"? " Charles said disdainfully: "What's the 'Chinese Derby'? That guy is just a bench player, how can he be compared with Darling King?"

But in this life, when Wang Dalin and Wang Zhizhi meet for the first time in the NBA, what kind of sparks will fly between them? ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 117 Tit for tat (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Originally in time and space, Wang Zhizhi did not play in this opening game, but obviously history has changed in this life, and Wang Zhizhi went into battle at the beginning of the second quarter. This is a very exciting scene for domestic fans. After all, this is the first time in history that two Chinese players have appeared in the NBA. It's a pity that Carlisle did not change his rotation plan, so Wang Dalin is still off the court for the time being. As a second-round pick, Wang Zhizhi only signed a one-year basic salary contract of US$470,000 with the Mavericks this season It is indeed more than he earns in China, but what he pursues is not money, but the hope of becoming Stronger. Wang Zhizhi performed very actively after coming on the field. He spared no effort to move without the ball and asked for the ball from behind on the wing several times. But it was as if his teammates couldn't see him. Even though he had run out of space and even if he was in a good position to get the ball, no one passed the ball to him. The Mavericks currently have basically substitute players on the court. Everyone wants to earn performance in front of the coach. Who is willing to sacrifice themselves to be a wedding dress for others? Some people may ask, wouldn¡¯t it be nice to pass the ball to Wang Zhizhi and get an assist? In this era, as the pioneer of Chinese basketball in the NBA, Wang Zhizhi is burdened with great expectations from the Chinese people, but Americans do not have a good impression of the Chinese, and can even be said to be full of malice. ??And Dallas is precisely the city that discriminates against Chinese the most in the United States. How can these American players trust a Chinese player? I pass the ball to you, who knows if you can score? You can¡¯t score, how can I get assists? ??Besides, even if you can score, as long as your offensive actions are inconsistent, won't I still have no assists? Rather than passing the ball to you, I might as well do it myself! I guess most of Wang Zhizhi¡¯s teammates on the field thought so, but Wang Zhizhi showed no expression at all and continued to move meticulously, hoping to catch the ball and perform. Old Nelson got a little angry. He stood up and yelled on the sidelines: "Pass the ball pass the ball pass it to the king!" He is undoubtedly the person with the best attitude towards Wang Zhizhi in this team. It was his insistence that made the Mavericks choose Wang Zhizhi in the summer of 1999, even though Wang Zhizhi could not report to the team immediately. Probably because Wang Zhizhi¡¯s performance at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics was truly amazing. Wang Zhizhi, who was only 18 years old at the time, scored a big shot on David Robinson in the game against the United States team, which attracted eight famous basketball schools in the United States to invite him. It¡¯s a pity that because of Wang Zhizhi¡¯s military status, he did not go to college in the United States, otherwise his entire basketball career may have undergone tremendous changes. Maybe he will show off his skills in the NCAA, and then become a first-round pick or even a lottery pick in the draft; maybe he will gradually disappear from everyone in the NCAA, and there will be no hope of landing in the NBA. Many things are like thistime is also fate! Hearing Nelson¡¯s roar, his teammates finally passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi. He received the ball from outside the three-point line and shot directly. Unfortunately, the ball missed. "Good job! Just fight like this!" Although the ball was not scored, Wang Zhizhi had already run out of the open space. In the eyes of Nelson, this was a successful tactical execution, so he still clapped his hands on the sidelines to encourage Wang Zhizhi. The second time Wang Zhizhi asked for the ball with his back from the wing. This time he showed very solid basic skills in his back dribbling and footwork. Mickey Moore was shaken by his fake move and jumped up. Wang Zhizhi Immediately seize the opportunity and pick the basket with his left handthe ball goes in! "Good goal!" Wang Dalin couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his compatriot in his heart. Wang Zhizhi played this ball very confidently, just like the three-pointer just now. Regardless of whether he could score or not, he fully demonstrated his skills. Wang Dalin has always been worried that Wang Zhizhi would commit an old problem in history. If he lacks confidence after playing, his technical movements will be deformed, so that even if he has strength, he will not be able to show off. Seeing Wang Zhizhi playing with such confidence, Wang Dalin felt a big stone fall in his heart As long as he can continue to be confident, he is not afraid of being unable to gain a foothold in the NBA. Chairman Yao later landed in the NBA as the No. 1 pick. His NBA debut was also quite bad, but he never lost confidence and instead worked harder to train and compete. Later, everyone knew that he was playing better and better, and his teammates liked him more and more. This generation Wang Zhizhi can perform as soon as he comes on the court. This is a good start. &n; He has been accumulating these points for a long time. He originally focused on acceleration and lateral agility. However, in the first regular season game of this season, he clearly realized that his physical strength was not enough and he had to improve his physical strength first. He had always been very relaxed when playing in the Asian Championships before, and had never been physically weak. However, the intensity of NBA games is obviously much higher than that of the Asian Championships. In addition, he is now the boss of the team and the core of the offense. , the physical energy consumption on the court per unit time is naturally greater than last season. James¡¯s physical strength is at least 95 according to the system¡¯s scoring method, right? However, he suffered from leg cramps in the 2016 finals, which shows that as the team's star, his physical strength of 85 is really not enough. After his physical strength increased, Wang Dalin finally resumed his offensive firepower and immediately completed a pull-up jumper in front of Nowitzki. The "old driver" was naturally not to be outdone, so he turned around and returned the blow with his back. The game came to the last minute, the score between the two sides was 107:108, and the Pistons only led by 1 point. It was the Pistons' turn to attack. This time Billups dribbled to the frontcourt without any stick on the ball, and immediately passed it to Wang Dalin outside the three-point line on the right. When the game reaches such a critical moment, no matter how brilliant a tactician Carlisle is, he will definitely still ask the players to hand the ball to Wang Dalin. This is Wang Dalin's responsibility as the team boss! Looking at Wang Dalin¡¯s determined gaze, Nowitzki quickly lowered his center of gravity This ball must be defended! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 118 Declaration of winning the championship (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Looking at Wang Dalin who was dribbling with his center of gravity lowered in front of him, Nowitzki couldn't help but have complicated thoughts Has this Chinese player who is younger than himself grown to this point? Wang Dalin didn¡¯t think about anything. He only had one thought now, and that was to score the goal. After his physical strength increased, Wang Dalin's confidence also improved a lot. He lowered his body and made a few changes of direction in front of his body, and then suddenly started, trying to break through from the right. Nowitzki did not lose his defensive position. He slid to the left and spread his arms like a roc spreading its wings. Wang Dalin frowned slightly. He did not have an overwhelming advantage in speed against Nowitzki. He was only slightly faster, so he started dribbling with his back from the mid-range on the right wing. "Are you going to lean back with your back again?" Nowitzki didn't dare to neglect, raised his left arm and put it on Wang Dalin's back. Feeling the resistance coming from behind, Wang Dalin tried his best to dribble towards the three-second zone His strength was similar to that of a young "old driver", and he was not completely unable to hold up. Reaching the edge of the three-second zone, Wang Dalin suddenly turned right, seemingly about to turn around and shoot a fadeaway jumper. Nowitzki's center of gravity was deceived by him. Wang Dalin then turned left, grabbed the ball with his right hand and raised it high "Bangshua!" The ball hit the board and went into the frame smoothly. This is the first time Wang Dalin has used a backhand hook shot in the NBA. He is very satisfied with being able to hit it with one hit. He had already increased his back-up hook shot to 64 last season, but he has never used it in the NBA. The main reason is that his back-up action ability was too low at the time. Even if he used this move, his shooting rate would definitely be very low. . But now his back-up action has reached 60, plus his back-up hook shot has reached 64. Although his shooting rate is still not high, he at least dares to use this technique in the game. It has to be said that at such a critical moment, he actually dared to use offensive methods that were not very reliable. Wang Dalin's psychological quality is indeed very good. Wang Dalin also has a certain confidence in being able to have the confidence to dare to show off this move, mainly because he has used this move to score many times during the Asian Championships. Hook shot is the most difficult offensive method to defend. Once the opponent relies on you to use this move, you will probably have to watch him take the shot. As for whether it can go in it depends on the opponent's touch. Back then, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar¡¯s ¡°Sky Hook¡± move was popular in the league for 20 years, scoring a total of 38,387 points in the regular season. Isn¡¯t it because this move was impossible to guard against? of course! Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is 218cm tall and has a very good wingspan. Who in the league can block his hook? Not even Chamberlain in his early years! So until the 1988-1989 season, the 42-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar averaged only 22.9 minutes per game, but he still scored 10.1 points, which fully illustrates how unsolvable the "sky hook" trick is. Wang Dalin's hook is naturally far worse than the "sky hook", but this offensive method is indeed very unsolvable, and Nowitzki can't help but shake his head. But looking back, Nowitzki relied on Wang Dalin and hit another behind-the-back shot. Wang Dalin was also helpless with this shot. Whether it's a hook shot or a fadeaway jump shotit's all so unsolvable! ? 109:110, the Pistons still only lead by 1 point, with 29 seconds left in the game, and both sides have one more chance to attack. With only a 1-point gap, the Mavericks naturally would not use foul tactics, so after some running without the ball, Wang Dalin received a pass from Billups at the top of the three-point arc. This is the goal that determines the outcome. Wang Dalin¡¯s expression is particularly solemn. He grabbed the ball with one hand and made a cool pose, thinking about the way to attack. If this goal is scored, the Pistons will have more than 80% chance of winning Of course, this refers to a two-point goal! There was a gleam in Wang Dalin's eyes. He just moved his right foot and clicked to the right, then immediately collected the ball and came back with a pull-up. Nowitzki's center of gravity was shaken by him, and it was a little too late to pounce on him. However, because of his height and long arms, Wang Dalin still interfered. The basketball drew a wonderful arc and dived into the basket under everyone's gaze. 109:113, the Pistons lead by 4 points, with 9 seconds left in the game, the Mavericks are basically lost. There was silence in the "American Airlines Center" arena in Dallas, and the audience already had a bad feeling in their hearts. There was regret on Nowitzki's face. If he hadn't moved his weight to the left just now, he would have given Wang Dalin a chance.How many young players are there in the NBA? Kobe Bryant, who has a 20-year career, Duncan, who has a 19-year career, Carter, who retired only at the age of 41, James and Anthony, who did not retire until Wang Dalin traveled through time Which one of them will not become Wang Dalin's "lifetime rival"? The reporter asked a second question: "Wang, what is the Pistons' goal for this season?" Wang Dalin blurted out without hesitation: "Championship!" The reporter was stunned for a moment and asked again: "I mean, the Pistons' goal this seasonis it really a championship?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Yes, I just made it very clear, our goal is the championship!" Another reporter hurriedly raised his hand and asked: "Wang, is this your team's goal or your personal goal?" Wang Dalin looked at Carlisle with a smile, and then said slowly: "This is both my personal goal and the goal of our team!" Carlisle said at the right time: "That's right! I originally wanted to talk about this topic for a while, but since you asked about it today, I will tell you clearly - the Pistons have only one goal this season, and that is the championship!" (Recorder Please visit our website: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 119 Winning streak (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Just like the Pistons issued a championship declaration on the night of the opening game, O'Neal, the star of the defending champion Lakers, announced before the opening game that he would complete three consecutive championships this season and create another Lakers dynasty. On the night of October 30, the Lakers easily defeated the Trail Blazers, who were seventh in the Western Conference last season, 98:87. In this game, the "Shark" scored 29 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks and 1 steal, showing strong dominance. However, his touch in this game was not very good. He only hit 10 goals in 23 shots and only made 9 of 16 free throws The 56.3% free throw shooting rate was slightly higher than his career free throw shooting rate. Of course, the Lakers' success in winning this game is definitely not due to O'Neal alone. Kobe also contributed 29 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block This season, the 23-year-old Kobe is obviously no longer satisfied with being a "Second in charge". In addition to the Pistons and Lakers, the league also played 10 games on the opening day. Among them, the game between the Celtics and the Cavaliers was quite interesting. There is nothing unusual about the Celtics' 108:89 victory over the Cavaliers. Paul Pierce's 29 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist are also nothing unusual. Antoine Walker's 23 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists are also nothing unusual. They are mainly the substitutes of the Cavaliers. Ricky Davis at the table. This former teammate of Wang Dalin came on as a substitute for 9 minutes in this game and actually scored 12 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 71.4%. Last season, he was completely a bench player for the Heat, and his average playing time and data per game were pitifully low. Even if the Cavaliers signed him, they only signed him to a one-year, $1.5 million contract. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to perform like this in his first game after joining the team. The Cavaliers uniform staff was so happy This time they made a lot of money! The game between the Hawks and the Rockets was extremely fierce, with both sides shooting below 40%. In the end, the Rockets defeated the Hawks 89:85. In this game, Sharif Abdul-Rahim, the top pick of the "96 Golden Generation" of the Hawks, played for 48 minutes and scored 28 points and 18 rebounds. This performance was completely worthy of his draft position. However, the Rockets' "Boss" and "Old Cat" both showed their strength. The two teamed up to score 44 points, 20 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 steals, and finally won this "iron war". The Nets and Pacers played a wonderful offensive battle. In the end, the Nets defeated the Pacers 103:97. For the Pacers, Jaylen Rose made 18 of 27 shots, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 43 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. His personal performance was explosive. In addition, the 36-year-old Reggie Miller also contributed 20 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, still getting stronger with age. But the Nets play more as a team. With the addition of "the league's number one point guard" Jason Kidd, the Nets' overall strength has obviously reached a new level. In this campaign, Kidd easily delivered 14 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. Not only did his personal data fill up, but more importantly, he revitalized the entire team. Under the leadership of Kidd, Van Horn scored 26 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. "Mosquito" Corey Kittles also scored 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. All in all, since Kidd arrived, the Nets, a weak team last season, have transformed into a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference. On this day, the game that fans are most concerned about is probably the Wizards' away game against the Knicks The reason is simply because Michael Jordan will be performing again after three years of absence from the court! It's gratifying that fans can once again appreciate Jordan's handsome figure in this game, but he only made 7 of 21 shots in the game. Although he scored 19 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals, everyone can see Jordan's condition did not recover, and almost none of his mid-range shots went in. Stackhouse, who was rated as an A+ by ESPN in the offseason and came to the Wizards, only made 5 of 11 shots in this game and scored 13 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist. His performance can be called "lackluster". ". In the end, the Wizards unfortunately lost 91:93 In the last 2.3 seconds, Jordan tried to hit a buzzer-beater to turn the tide, but the three-pointer missed directly, and the "old gangster" lost all face. The Seattle SuperSonics and Sacramento Kings also had a very fierce offensive battle. The offenses of both sides were very smooth, and their shooting percentages were around 45%. In the end, the Kings were superior and they won the game 101:95. In this campaign, the two inside players of the Kings both showed their strength. Among them, Divac scored 27 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals, and Webber scored 26 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. ? ?p; In this game, Wang Dalin fully demonstrated his accuracy in mid- and long-range shooting. Under Battier's defense, he made 13 of 20 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws. Once again Scored 35 points, and contributed 9 rebounds and 5 assists. "The third brother" performed so powerfully, and the "second brother" Billups was naturally not far behind. He also efficiently scored 22 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals in this game, which is a fierce performance. "Big brother" Ben Wallace was a bit stretched. He only scored 2 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block under the attack of the opponent's center Lorenzen White and power forward Stromile Swift. Moreover, the opponent's inside team performed very well in this game. White scored 17 points and 13 rebounds. Last year's second overall pick, Swift, was like a chicken in this game, scoring 18 points and 10 rebounds. 2 steals. Fortunately, Robinson scored 17 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in this game, and finally did not let the opponent blow up his inside line. The Pistons have won both games and have won consecutively at the beginning of the season. Everyone in the team exudes a strong momentumWe want more than two consecutive wins! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 120 Another temporary mission (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On November 2, the Pistons finally ended their short away trip, but it was not easy to return home. They will usher in the first back-to-back game of the new season. The opponent in the third game was the New Jersey Nets, who also had two consecutive victories. After defeating the Pacers in the first game, they defeated the Celtics 95:92 in back-to-back away games on October 31. One thing to say is that Jason Kidd¡¯s shooting percentage is indeed not high. In this game, he only made 5 of 15 shots, but he can lead the team to win the game. With his outstanding performance of 3-for-4 shooting from the three-point line and 8-for-8 shooting from the free throw line, Jason Kidd scored 21 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists in this game, posting a near-triple-double for the second time in the new season. The Nets, who have won two consecutive games, are in full swing. Even if their opponent is the Pistons, who have also won two consecutive games, they did not show any fear. At the pre-game press conference, Nets head coach Byron Scott made a bold statement on the spot - "We will make the Pistons taste defeat at home, and Darling King can't save them!" Faced with such arrogance from his opponents, Carlisle was not to be outdone. He responded at the press conference: "As a team that aims to win the championship, we will not be afraid of any opponent, and Darling King will not be afraid of Jason Kidd. !¡± However, the media generally believe that the biggest highlight of this game is not "Darling Wang vs. Jason Kidd". Compared with the "league's number one point guard" who has been famous for many years, they believe that Wang Dalin is still a bit inadequate. , even though his averages in the first two games were as high as 35 points, 9.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists. If you only look at the data, Wang Dalin's performance in the first two games is as good as anyone in the league, and the Pistons have also won two consecutive victories The media generally believes that he has not yet reached the All-Star level, mainly because he is too Young! The media put forward a new point of view for this game, that is "Darling-Wang vs. Van Horn". Van Horn was born in October 1975 and was the "second pick" in the 1997 draft. As the rookie who was "second only to Tim Duncan" that year, Van Horn would have averaged 19.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game in his rookie season. If there was not a "full-level stone Buddha" in this class, , the best rookie must be him! Last season, he averaged 17 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.8 steals per game. On the surface, it seems to have dropped a bit from his rookie season, but his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 38.2%, and his offensive efficiency was much higher. It can be said that Van Horn seems to have made little progress since his rookie season. In fact, you have to look at the teammates around him Playing next to the "lone wolf" Stephon Marbury, he averaged 17 points per game. , this can prove that the "2nd place winner in 1997" is definitely not a "parallel import"! Let¡¯s first compare the heights of the two - Van Horn is 208cm tall, while Wang Dalin¡¯s ¡°official height¡± is 206cm. Moreover, both of them took a large number of shots from beyond the three-point line last season, and their production and efficiency were also quite outstanding Don¡¯t they look alike? Isn¡¯t this the best ¡°cp¡±? Wang Dalin could only laugh secretly in his heart - "If I can only play CP with Van Horn in my career, my whole life of basketball will be in vain!" Wang Dalin was secretly complaining in the locker room, and suddenly a "ding" sounded in his mind Hearing such a familiar and pleasant sound, the guy couldn't help but feel happy, and quickly clicked on the system page to check. ¡°The system has detected the host¡¯s dissatisfaction with the media¡¯s contempt, and has issued a temporary mission ¡®The Collapse of the Second Place¡¯!¡± "'The Collapse of Second Place' Task 1: The host's performance in this game has the potential to crush Van Horn. Specific requirements: The host's scoring, rebounds and assists should be twice as high as Van Horn's, and The shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage and free throw percentage are not lower than Van Horn! Reward for completing the task: The host can designate any one ability value to be increased to the current upper limit." "'The Collapse of the Second Place' Task 2: The host's performance in this game has formed a crushing trend against Van Horn. The specific requirements are: the host's scoring, rebounds and assists are three times that of Van Horn, and The shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage and free throw shooting percentage are not lower than Van Horn! Reward for completing the task: The host can designate any two ability values ??to be increased to the current upper limit." "'The Collapse of Second Place' Mission 3: The host blocked Van Horn in this game, so that Van Horn did not score any sports battles in the game! Reward for completing the task: The host can designate any 3 ability values ??to be increased to the current upper limit. " "Note: The above tasks can be stacked to receive rewards!" Wang Dalin almost laughed out loud after reading it He really got what he thought of! During the offseason, he practiced hard for more than a month and accumulated 16,000 points.Point guard", the "second brother" said it was a lot of pressure. "Defending Kiddwhat's so difficult about it?" Wang Dalin looked at the frowning Billups and smiled easily, "Second brother, do you still remember the question I asked you in the nightclub that night?" "You ask mewho is the number one point guard in the league?" Billups said blankly. "That's not it!" Wang Dalin corrected him, "I asked you is Jason's shooting as accurate as yours?" "Yes, as I said, I'm much more accurate than him!" Billups still looked blank. Wang Dalin said patiently: "Since his shooting is not accurate at all, then what do you have to be afraid of Just let him shoot?" Billups slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" ¡­¡­ In this way, this scene happened at the beginning of the game. Jason Kidd, the "league's number one point guard", was completely missed from beyond the three-point line, but his shot was still a hit, and he was immediately filled with shame. flushed. To be honest, if it was the "basic but not offensive" style of the Mavericks in later generations, Wang Dalin would not dare to teach Billups to let him shoot like this. At that time, Kidd's three-pointers were not blocked, but now Kidd's career The three-point shooting rate in the early stages of his career did not even reach the passing line of 33%. Looking back, Billups dribbled to the frontcourt, and just near the top of the three-point arc was a sudden shot. "Whoops!" After hitting this three-pointer, Kidd¡¯s face suddenly darkened (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 121 "Basic Attack" collapsed first? (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Jason Kidd¡¯s lungs were about to explode When had he ever been so despised by his opponents? I think back then, when he faced John Stockton, the "league's number one point guard" of the previous generation, he could fight hard with him! Hello Billups! You are a "parallel importer"! How dare you humiliate me like this? I swear that I will not attack my baseI am going to have sex with you today! Looking back, Kidd dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Billups retreated to the free throw line again, making a "please" gesture with his hand It was not harmful, but it was extremely insulting! Once upon a time, on the stage of the Finals, the Spurs did the same thing when defending James, but they didn't even make a "please" gesture? Billups¡¯ behavior was obviously too much. In the TNT live broadcast room, Smith looked shocked and angry, and sneered: "Chauncy dares to provoke Jason like this, he is playing with fire and burning himself!" Buckley also said with a calm face: "That's right, Kenny, I support you this time! Chauncey will definitely be blown away by Jason today, leaving nothing behind!" But he didn¡¯t forget to show his left hand with the championship ring in front of the camera He never had the chance to win a championship ring by playing basketball in his life, but he didn¡¯t expect to win it just by making a bet. But tonight¡¯s game was at the Pistons¡¯ home court, and the home fans in the ¡°Palace of Auburn Hills¡± were happy to see this scene, and they all booed Kidd sharply. Kidd was so angry that he completely ignored Van Horn, who was waving at him from the wing for the ball. He got close to the three-point line, pulled up and shot "Dang"! It was another iron shot, and Big Ben happily wanted to accept the rebound again, but this time Wang Dalin returned to the three-second zone, and the ball just jumped to his head, and Big Ben had to help him block Martin behind him. Kidd¡¯s face turned red with embarrassment, his expression full of dissatisfaction and unwillingness - ¡°How the hell can I make a three-pointer like this during training? Why does my hand feel so bad today?¡± Barkley and Smith looked at each other, and Smith coughed twice and said: "Ahem It seems that Jason's touch is very bad today!" Barkley also quickly laughed and said: "Yes, Jason's touch is really bad today!" In fact, none of them realized a problem, that is, those traditional point guards in the early years didn't seem to be good at shooting, especially three-pointers! For example, "Magic" Earvin Johnson, although he averaged 11.2 assists per game in his career, his three-point shooting percentage was only 30.2%. The previous generation¡¯s ¡°league¡¯s number one point guard¡± John Stockton¡¯s three-point shooting percentage was 38.4%, which is undoubtedly very accurate, but he averaged only 1.5 three-pointers per game in his career. According to the fans¡¯ understanding, this number of shots is too few, right? Since the shots are so accurate, why not shoot more three-pointers? There are two reasons. First, at that time, it was generally believed in the league that three-pointers were only auxiliary and could not be used as the main offensive method. There was a famous saying at that time - "You can't kill people by shooting"! So until the first decade of the 21st century, superstars generally did not spend a lot of energy practicing three-pointers, even those who worked hard like the "Black Mamba". Second, it is estimated that Stockton still lacks confidence in his three-point shooting ability. In the first 10 seasons of his career, he averaged only 1.24 three-pointers per game and his shooting rate was only about 35%. And it can be seen from his average number of three-pointers per gamemore than 90% of these three-pointers are open shots! Jason Kidd is undoubtedly the best traditional point guard of this era, but his current shooting ability is more than one level lower than Stockton. What he is good at is not personal offense, but sorting out the team's offense. You have to let him go three -pointers, even if he can't score a few in the big vacant position! ¡­¡­ Wang Dalin slowly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and then passed the ball to Billups: "Second brother, hit him again!" Billups was smiling. After catching the ball, he looked at Kidd and found that the opponent had just taken a step back inside the three-point line, so he raised his left hand and pressed it in the air. The meaning of this action is probably understood by everyone - "Don't worry, everyone!" He immediately took off and completed the jump shot. After the shot, he immediately turned around and opened his arms to celebrate "Whoosh", the ball plunged into the basket without even touching the net. "Wow¡­¡­" The fans in the "Palace of Auburn Hills" immediately climaxed, with applause, cheers and screams intertwined. &nbs??Hmm! " He was furious when he was on the bench just now, but he played very calmly when he came on the court. He is worthy of being the "league's number one point guard"! Billups¡¯ face looked a little ugly. The ball he just made was ultimately because he failed to block Kidd¡¯s initial breakthrough. Otherwise, Martin would never have been able to make this alley-oop. Wang Dalin came over and patted his butt and said with a smile: "Second brother, it's okay. I'll give you a pick-and-roll. Why don't you just give them one back?" Billups smiled, yes, it¡¯s just a ball, can¡¯t it just come back? You have Martin who can handle it, and I also have Wang Dalin here! Looking back, Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Wang Dalin indeed mentioned the high position to cover him. When he blocked Kidd, he couldn't help but sigh: "You're a 'bastard', this power can be It¡¯s so fierce, I almost couldn¡¯t resist it!¡± Even though Kidd is only 193cm tall, his strength can compete with many forward players. Wang Dalin's strength value is 65, which is not necessarily stronger than Kidd. Billups accelerated and rushed into the three-second zone. Facing the triple-team of Kidd, Van Horn and Martin, he jumped high and passed the ball to the outside. Wang Dalin immediately took action after receiving the ball "Shua." ", another three-pointer! After the start of the game, all three of the Pistons' attacks were three-pointers. The score has reached 9:2, and only 2 minutes and 12 seconds have passed in the first quarter (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 122 Do you want to fight? (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Byron Scott never expected that the game would turn out like this Just after Wang Dalin hit the first goal, the Nets also wanted Van Horn to score one more, but Wang Dalin had no flaws in his defense. Van Horn couldn't find a chance to make a shot, so he had to lob the ball to Martin was asked to attack the inside. Martin¡¯s goal was quite impressive. He pushed Robinson to complete a forced layup. Not only did he score, but he also caused a foul on Robinson. Martin missed the extra free throw. Ben collected the rebound and made a long pass to Hamilton. The "Detroit long-distance running champion" received the ball and made a layup. Nets shooting guard Kittles had just reached the three-point line. 11:4, the point difference is indeed quite big, but the game has just begun, and Scott is quite calm at least on the surface. Looking back, Van Horn caught the ball again and wanted to play singles with the ball. This time Wang Dalin went directly up to him and swung his arms and claws. Van Horn almost lost the ball, but had no choice but to lob the ball to Martin again. Martin can do nothing but fight in the low post. The ball just now had a lot of luck. This time after Robinson entered the confrontation, this guy could no longer fight. Unable to hit the inside line, Martin had to pass the ball back to Van Horn. Van Horn couldn¡¯t help but curse secretly in his heart: ¡°I¡¯m going to beat the shit out of you! Why the hell are you passing the ball to me with 3 seconds left in the attack time? I can¡¯t blame you for passing the blame, okay?¡± With little time left, Van Horn had no choice but to force the shot against Wang Dalin. It is obvious that this shot was a hit. Robinson blocked Martin, and Ben successfully collected the rebound. This time he did not rush to pass the long ball, but handed the ball to Billups. After arriving in the frontcourt, Billups and his teammates communicated several times, and everyone continued to cross paths. However, the Nets' defense was very tight, and the Pistons did not find a good shot opportunity, so Billups gestured and asked Wang Dalin to come out and play a pick-and-roll with him. Wang Dalin understood the situation and came out to give him a solid cover. He withstood another fierce collision from Kidd and immediately cut outside. This time Van Horn did not stupidly defend Billups, but followed Wang Dalin. When Billups passed the ball, Wang Dalin had no good chance to take action. What to do in this situation? Are you forced to pull it out? If it were Wang Dalin last season, he might have done this, but this season Wang Dalin's offensive options are obviously more than this. I saw him calling the pick-and-roll again. Robinson came to help him block it and then immediately passed down. Wang Dalin dribbled the ball and took a step forward into the three-second zone, and then made a shooting motion. Martin, who came over from defense, immediately raised his arms and jumped high, completely missing the faint sneer on Wang Dalin's face "Beep!" Martin's thug fouled, and Wang Dalin still completed a shot with deformed movements after being fouled. Unfortunately, the ball went too far and failed to score 2+1. "Shet!" Martin couldn't help but cursed. Since entering the league, last year's No. 1 pick has shown explosive physical talent, especially his movement speed and jumping ability, which are among the best in the league. But perhaps because of this, he prefers to show off his jumping ability in games. Experienced fans all know that players with "spring man" attributes are often prone to taking advantage of their opponents' fake moves during games. Just like this shot, Martin would be fooled eight times out of ten. Really good interior defensive players will not be like this, just like "Deng Dadai". Most of the time during his entire career, he maintained a defensive position with his arms raised when defending in the low post. He did not pursue blocking shots excessively, so he was rarely shot. Fake it. Wang Dalin made two free throws and was so happy that he high-fived Robinson to celebrate. The Nets launched another attack. Kidd did not pass the ball to his teammates this time. Instead, he called for a pick-and-roll and forced a break through Billups. After rushing into the three-second zone, he directly made a throw "Dang", this The ball didn't go in again. Looking back, Billups made another sudden shot, but this three-pointer jumped out of the frame. Big Ben overwhelmed the opponent's center McCloch to grab the offensive rebound, and then turned around and passed the ball to Wang Dalin. After receiving the ball, Wang Dalin pushed forward with Van Horn behind him. This feeling was so good! He has never fought against such a weak opponent since he entered the league. Who could he have beaten before? Advancing to the three-second zone, he immediately turned around and took a fadeaway jumper. The ball was hit steadilyUnknowingly, Wang Dalin had alreadysp; "Ya Zhudie!" Wang Dalin shouted and rushed over to hug him down. "Beep!" With such an obvious foul, even Donaghy¡¯s black whistle wouldn¡¯t dare not blow it. Van Horn made two free throws and finally breathed a sigh of relief finally scored! Wang Dalin also stroked his chest and let out a long sigh Finally, he didn't score in the sports battle! In this way, Van Horn stepped to the free throw line twice in the second quarter and scored 4 points on all 4 free throws. Wang Dalin also suffered 2 fouls. How can it be so easy to keep an opponent clean? Especially the opponent is a star like Van Horn who is close to the All-Star level. Therefore, the third task of the system is only to keep Van Horn from scoring in sports battles. Although it is still very difficult, at least you can still foul if you can't guard it. But Wang Dalin obviously ignored one thing everyone has a temper, even a player like Van Horn, who has always been good-tempered. About 7 minutes into the third quarter, Wang Dalin lost his defensive position again. Seeing that Van Horn was about to complete a one-handed chop, he hugged him from behind in desperation. Maybe the foul was a bit big, or maybe Van Horn was irritated because he was always unable to score in sports battles. Anyway, this time he immediately turned around and pushed Wang Dalin over. Wang Dalin was pushed back two steps before he stabilized himself. His body shape was such that he almost fell to the ground. "Boy! What are you doing!" Ben grabbed Van Horn's jersey and pushed him against the basket, glaring and yelling, "Do you want to fight?" How skinny is Van Horn? How can you resist the violent invasion of a muscular man like Da Ben? Being pressed against the basket, Van Horn looked horrified and said, "No, I didn't want to fight!" Da Ben grinned and sneered: "If you want to fight, just fight with me. Don't harass my third brother. Do you understand?" Van Horn didn't know what "third brother" was, but he couldn't think too much about this situation, so he quickly nodded and said: "Okay, I won't fight, you let me go!" After hearing this, Ben let go of him, and then took the initiative to ask the referee for a technical foul. After receiving the technical foul, Ben looked around in his own three-second zone and saw Martin, Kidd, Kittles and others all hiding away in fear. He couldn't help but smile contemptuously (Remember Website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 123 A-level star (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After a conflict, the game continued, and the head coaches of both sides had a tacit understanding and took both parties off the field Carlisle was naturally worried that Ben would be impulsive and receive a technical foul again, and Scott was also worried that Van Horn would be caught on the court. Pistons players retaliate. Based on the experience of the Pistons' "Bad Boys" team back then, who knows if these guys will do anything like stepping on the foot or elbowing someone? In fact, Scott is overly worried. As for the current Pistons team, they just play tough and tough, and they really don't like to play dirty tricks like the "Bad Boys Legion" back then. Wang Dalin and Da Ben hugged each other and said softly: "Brother, thank you!" Da Ben grinned and said: "It's okay, we are brothers! Listen to big brother and don't be a coward on the court. I am here for everything. If anyone dares to bully you, I will help you!" Looking at Ben¡¯s generous back as he walked to the sidelines, Wang Dalin really felt a kind of warmth at this momenta kind of warmth of being protected by his brother! At that moment, Wang Dalin saw with his own eyes that Ben rushed forward and restrained Van Horn on the spot. Billups was also eager to try. If he hadn't seen Ben "hold the whole audience" easily, I guess this " "Second Brother" also rushed forward. Since Van Horn has left the game, Wang Dalin¡¯s intensity on the defensive end has immediately dropped by a notch. He is no longer as hard-working as he was in defending Van Horn I¡¯m too lazy to use up my energy to deal with you rotten sweet potatoes and rotten eggs! However, he did not hold back on the offensive end and went all out. In the third quarter alone, he scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. The Pistons took advantage of the situation and hit a small climax. By the end of the third quarter, the score had reached 85:70. The Pistons led by 15 points entering the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter, Scott replaced Van Horn again, trying to make a final counterattack to recover the score. But I don¡¯t know if Van Horn had a bad touch tonight, or he was frightened by the threat from Big Ben just now. Anyway, In the fourth quarter, he was in no condition. Not only could he not make any shots, he could not even make a breakthrough. With 6 minutes and 38 seconds left in the game, the score on the field had reached 101:82, and Carlisle replaced all the starting players with a wave of his hand. Although the last six minutes or so were already garbage time, Williams and Atkins, who came on the bench, showed no mercy to the Nets They didn't have much playing time in this game, so they could only Worked hard during the garbage time. Atkins estimates that he will be traded midway through the season, while Williams is purely working hard for the "Best Sixth Man" award. In this way, in the final stage of the game, the point difference between the two sides did not narrow at all, but instead widened. In the end, the Pistons defeated the Nets with a score of 115:88, celebrating their third consecutive victory in the new season. The best performer for the Pistons was of course "boss" Wang Dalin. He made 14 of 22 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 37 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 1 shot. Steals. Ben was replaced after the conflict, and then he was replaced and played for about 6 minutes. He scored 4 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks He is indeed the most bizarre player in the team. He can produce such bizarre statistics. ! "Second brother" Billups made 5 of 7 shots from beyond the three-point line in this game and scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists. He scored a double-double for the first time in the new season. Hamilton had fewer offensive opportunities in this game, but he still made 5 of 11 shots, plus 4 of 4 free throws, contributing 14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. Among the starting five, only Robinson's performance was slightly inferior. He had a bad touch in this game. He only hit 2 goals in 9 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 10 points in the game. Points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. Williams came on as a substitute for 22 minutes in this game. He made 7 of 13 shots and scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. He really has the "Best Sixth Man" style. Atkins also performed well. He came on as a substitute and scored 10 points, 3 assists and 1 steal in about 15 minutes. He was considered a substitute player second only to Williams. Six players from the Pistons scored in double figures, so there was no doubt that they would win. The only players from the Nets who scored in double figures were Kidd, Martin and Richard Jefferson who came off the bench This year's rookie did not let himself down. With the magical pick number "13", he showed a "newborn calf is not afraid of tigers" spirit when he first entered the league. The worst performer was of course Van Horn, who made 0 of 9 shots from the field and only relied on free throws to score 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. Wang Dalin himself didn¡¯t expect that all three tasks were completed. He originally thought that completing the first task would be good. Since the three tasks have been completed, let¡¯s quickly add some This can increase the 6 ability values ??to the current level in one go.?Speed ??68 (85), catching ability 73 (90), inside defense 65 (85), outside defense 70 (85), steals 59 (85), blocks 73 (90), shot interference 70 (90), offensive rebounds 80 (85), defensive rebounds 67 (90), lateral agility 66 (80), speed 72 (85), acceleration 71 (85), strength 65 (85), jumping 73 (85), and physical strength 90 (99). " "Comprehensive durability: 90" "Potential value: 99" "Equipment skills: Blind Blind (A level), McGrady pull-up (S level), Touch your head (S level), Aldridge's behind-the-back shot (A level)" "Comprehensive ability value: 85 (A-level star)" "Note: The number outside the brackets is the host's current ability value, and the number inside the brackets is the upper limit of the corresponding ability value at the current stage (a cumulative total of 10 ability values ??reaches the upper limit of the current stage to unlock the next stage. After entering the next stage All ability value caps will be re-released)!" Wang Dalin noticed the "A-level star" in brackets after his comprehensive ability value, so he specifically checked the star classification details in the system. To put it simply, all players are ranked from high to low according to their strength as level S, level a+, level a, level b, level c, level d and level f. Among them, S-level is the superstar level in the league. It must have a comprehensive ability value of 95 or above. Currently, there are only three S-level superstars in the entire league, namely Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan and Allen Iver. Sen. A+ level is the top star level in the league, which is the level with comprehensive ability value of 90-94. For example, Paul Pierce, Chris Webber, Antoine Walker, Tracy McGrady, Jason Kidd and others in the current league are A+ stars, and Kobe is also at this level at this stage. A-level stars are naturally worse than A+-level stars. Most of them are first-rate stars in the league, and there are also a few top stars. Most of these people can reach the All-Star level, and their overall ability value is in the range of 85-89. For example, at this stage, Peja Stojakovic, Dirk Nowitzki, Ray Allen, Gary Payton, Karl Malone and even Michael Jordan this season all fall into this category. Of course, Jordan's situation is quite special. He was originally an S-level super giant, but due to his aging and declining condition, he has dropped to the level of a low-level top star. Most of the B-level stars are second-rate stars in the league. Of course, there are also a few first-rate stars. The best of them still hope to be selected for the All-Star lineup, and their overall ability value is in the 80-84 range. For example, the current Pistons' Hamilton, Big Ben and Billups all belong to this category. The current league's Pau Gasol, Eddie Jones, Dikembe Mutombo, David Robinson, Arthur Lonzo Mourning, Steve Nash and others are also at this level. C-level stars are basically a small number of third-rate stars and most role players, with comprehensive ability values ??in the range of 75-79. For example, players such as Kenyon Martin, Eric Dampier, Robert Horry, Jason Williams, and Bruce Bowen at this stage fall into this category. Level D cannot be considered a star. It is probably the level of most substitute players in the league, with ability values ??in the range of 70-74. There are many such players in the league, such as Devin George, Tony Barty, Vitali Potapenko, Dell Curry, etc. Wang Zhizhi, who just entered the league, is probably at this level. Class F players are NBA fringe players, bench players, water fountain keepers, etc., with a comprehensive ability value in the range of 65-69. As for players below level F, they are collectively referred to as "inferior players". Looking at this detailed grading standard, Wang Dalin couldn't help but sigh with emotion When he signed with the Heat last season, he was only an F-level player, and after just one season, he has grown to an A-level player. Thinking of his own star skills, "Aldridge's Back" and "One Leaf Blind", Wang Dalin has used these two A-level star skills many times in games, which can be said to be very practical but he himself is now an A-level player. Super star. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 124 The Battle of the Gods (1) (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! (Another 4,000-word chapter, please subscribe and reward!) Wang Dalin also noticed that after the system upgrade, a "player detection" function was added. In each game, the comprehensive ability value and several more important ability values ??of an opponent's player can be viewed. This is a very practical function For example, in this game against Van Horn, if he can check the opponent's ability value before the game, he can have a better understanding of his comprehensive ability and technical characteristics, and can also perform offensive and defensive tasks. Targeted adjustments. Don¡¯t think that just because Wang Dalin is a ¡°senior fan¡±, he knows all the stars well. In fact, although many stars will have high achievements in the future, they are not necessarily at their peak during this period. For example, Nowitzki was an S-level star after 2006, but now he is only an A-level star, not even an A+ level player. Another example is Kobe. He has not yet been promoted to become the "Black Mamba" of later generations. Although he is already very powerful, he is still only the second in command next to O'Neal! On November 4, when the Pistons faced the Wizards at home, Wang Dalin used the "player detection" function for the first time. The object of detection was naturally the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan, who was nearly forty years old: "Name: Michael Jordan, date of birth: February 17, 1963, height: 198cm, weight: 98kg; court position: small forward, shooting guard." "Comprehensive ability value: 89 (level a)." ¡°Mid-range shot: 91, back-up fadeaway jumper: 88, lateral agility: 76, speed: 78, bounce: 85, cut-in layup: 86, cut-in dunk: 80.¡± After looking at Jordan's ability value, Wang Dalin couldn't help but sigh: The "God of Basketball" has become so mature, but the system can still give him such a high rating, it is really terrifying! Just like Stackhouse, the All-Star player who is also on the Wizards, he is only 27 years old and is in the peak period of a player's life, but his ability value is definitely not as good as Jordan's. ¡°Maybe this guy¡¯s ability on the offensive end can be rated as A+, but looking at all his abilities, he is just an A-level star. The Wizards also played three games this season. They first lost to the Knicks by 2 points on the road, then narrowly defeated the Hawks on the road, and then defeated the 76ers by a big score at home. In the game against the Hawks, Jordan took 30 crazy shots, but only made 13. Including 5 of 6 free throws, he scored 31 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, with a true shooting percentage of only 47.5%. In this game against the 76ers, Jordan made 7 of 21 shots and scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists. Although he did a good job in sorting out the team's offense, his personal offensive efficiency was still low. If it weren¡¯t for the 76ers¡¯ Iverson being absent due to injury, they would have been unable to win this game. After the first three games, everyone clearly discovered that Jordan was not in good condition. His scoring was entirely based on a large number of shots. However, this does not affect Jordan's influence among fans, so the Wizards' away challenge in Detroit was still arranged to be broadcast live across the United States. A large number of media reporters came to Detroit, an industrial city with an increasingly smaller population. At the pre-game press conference, a reporter asked Jordan what he thought of Darling King. Jordan spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Darling King? Who is he? Should I have heard of him?" Only the "God of Basketball" can have such a contemptuous attitude towards the rising stars in the league, even though he is now so old that he is about to fall from the altar Later, at the Pistons' pre-game press conference, the reporter asked Wang Dalin: "Darling King, Michael Jordan just said that he had never heard of you. What do you think? ?¡± Wang Dalin couldn't help but be stunned Okay, Jeremy Lin and Kobe's relationship in the future, did I encounter it in advance today? Don¡¯t be timid when encountering this kind of situation, even if the other person is Michael Jordan, otherwise the media will only write you down as a softie in the article. So Wang Dalin immediately smiled and said: "It's normal that Michael hasn't heard of me. After all, he is a big shot in the NBA, and I am just a second-year rookie. But I think after this game, he will definitely have an impression of me. Very profound, I promise!¡± As he said the words "I promise", the system in his mind dinged again, and Wang Dalin felt happy Was he given another temporary task? The system is really powerful these days! Naturally, there was no chance to check it during the press conference. After the press conference, Wang Dalin quickly found a secluded place and opened the system interface.?? "Wang Dalin stabilized his body, and then turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper The ball was there! After all, the height advantage is too obvious, and the interference Jordan can give him is really minimal. In the TNT live broadcast room, Buckley smiled excitedly: "Kenny, look, Darling King actually taught Michael a lesson by leaning back!" Smith curled his lips and said: "What's so great about this, Michael will return it right away!" Buckley smiled and said: "Yes, based on what I know about Michael, this guy will definitely pay back one right away! But I am really inexplicably happy to see Michael being defeated by a junior!" Looking back, Jordan immediately took the initiative to ask for the ball with Wang Dalin behind him. As Barkley and Smith said, it is not the style of an "old gangster" to not hit back immediately after being beaten! Wang Dalin didn't dare to neglect. Although Jordan's shooting percentage of behind-the-back jumpers during the Wizards period dropped a lot compared to that of the past, he had many more fake moves on his hands. If he wasn't careful, he might get swayed and get a foul. . Jordan¡¯s fake moves failed to deceive Wang Dalin. He was surprised but his hand movements were very coherent. He turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper, which was one of the coolest moves. Wang Dalin mastered the timing of his jump very well. His long arms were only a few millimeters short of being able to block the shot, but just a little bit "Whoops!" Jordan also hit his first shot, and the two sides drew 2:2. "Isn't this unscientific?" Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, "I've been blocked to this extent, and he can still make a shot? This is the first half, and he hasn't returned to his youth yet? " No, we can¡¯t be so defensive! Wang Dalin immediately decided that he could not use this conventional defensive method against Jordan's fadeaway shot. He had to use some special methodssuch as "a blinding leaf"! Jordan's physical condition declined significantly during this period with the Wizards, so his bounce height when shooting backwards is not comparable to that when he was with the Bulls, but the range of his backward shooting is much larger. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????Perhaps his fadeaway shots during this period can be regarded as real fadeaway shots. Those at the beginning were more of a large jump backward. Although Wang Dalin is tall and has long arms, he also has a headache for Jordan's fadeaway jumper. It is too difficult to cover him on the spot. So he changed his mind and decided to use "a blinding leaf". Since I can't cover the ball in your hand, I can cover your face, right? Looking back, Billups on the Pistons side easily broke through Whitney With his 180cm small body, Billups didn't need any skills and just ran over Whitney with his body. After entering the three-second zone, the opponent's center Laettner came to cover. Billups humiliated him with a crotch pass. After receiving the ball, Ben dunked with both hands. After dunking, he looked up to the sky and roared. "Big Ben" of the Pistons can occasionally break out on the offensive end, as long as his teammates feed him the ball! It was the Wizards' turn to attack. Jordan repeated his old trick and performed another behind-the-back jumper from the wing. This time, Wang Dalin interfered immediately. A big palm suddenly appeared in front of Jordan. As soon as the ball was released, he knew it was deflected. . "Dang", the sound of blacksmithing from Washington is also so fresh and sweet. Smith was surprised: "Darling King actually guarded Michael!" Barkley was also shocked. No one knew better than him how difficult it was to defend Jordan's fadeaway shot, but he just said lightly: "What's so strange about this? Darling King is not an ordinary player. He is now the best player in the league." One of the most powerful stars!" Smith was unconvinced and said: "Charles, have you been intoxicated by this Chinese boy? Why do you support him so much every time he plays his game live?" Buckley smiled and said: "Yes, I just support him. What's wrong? Are you betting again if you have the guts?" As he spoke, Buckley raised his hand and shook it proudly. Smith clearly saw the championship ring that originally belonged to him on his finger, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "Let's make a bet. How do we make this bet today?" ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 125 The Battle of the Gods (2) (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Speaking of betting, apart from the "old gangsters" who are fighting on the court in the entire NBA, who else has Barkley ever served? Well Actually, even if he is an "old gangster", Buckley has never convinced him at the gambling table. "Since you look down on Darling King so much, why don't we bet on who will perform better in this game, Darling King or Michael!" Barkley squinted his eyes and smiled, "I bet on Darling King winning, you bet Michael wins. If you lose, give me a championship ring. If I lose, I will give this ring back to you. How about that?" A flash of light flashed in Smith's eyes, and he sneered: "Okay, it's a deal!" Maybe it¡¯s because of his unparalleled obsession with championship rings throughout his career. Barkley has been wearing this ring on his hand all day since he won it, and he doesn¡¯t want to take it off whether he¡¯s taking a shower or sleeping. And Smith has always been worried about losing this ring. Now that he has a chance to win it back, how can he endure it? Is it really easy for me to win two championship rings in my career? Why should I lose to a big ass like you? You actually dare to try to get another ring from me, you are so greedy! "Michael is not an easy guy. He could teach you a lesson back then, and he can treat you well todayjust wait to lose!" ¡­¡­ Jordan played very depressed tonight. In addition to scoring a goal on his first attack after the opening game, he took three consecutive shots and all failed. Facing an opponent with tall arms and arms like Wang Dalin, Jordan must use the maximum backward range every time he shoots, and he must lift the ball as high as possible before he can take the shot Only when the shot is so close to the limit can the hit rate be high. Weird! Of course, these are not the only things that affect his hit rate. The main thing is Wang Dalin's "one leaf blinding" trick. Whenever Jordan shoots, a big hand always appears in front of his eyes, completely blocking his sight. If it was Jordan during the Bulls era, he would just laugh at this level of defense It would have some impact, but not much. But now Jordan can no longer compare to what he was back then, and he hasn¡¯t played for several years, and his shooting touch is no longer what it was back then. You must know that he could make free throws with his eyes closed back then, and that was all due to the muscle memory accumulated over the years Unfortunately, his muscle memory has declined a bit seriously now. Jordan played very depressed, but Stackhouse was in strong form on the Wizards. He made 7 of 9 shots in the first quarter and did not make a single free throw. He still scored 15 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the single quarter. . Wang Dalin has never seen Stackhouse so fierce. In several encounters last season, his touch was very cold and he did not show the style of being second in the scoring list. Hamilton¡¯s defense against him is actually quite good, but he can¡¯t help but this guy is so accurate That¡¯s right, who doesn¡¯t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? There have been several famous "twitchers" in NBA history, such as J.R. Smith and Nick Young. The average field goal percentage of these two players in their careers is not very high, but once they have a stroke, it will be terrible. They are really killing people and killing Buddhas. Even if the opponent is as strong as Kobe or Tracy McGrady, they can still compete with them. Stackhouse was obviously "convulsed" in this game. If it were normal, he would have scored 4 out of 9 shots to be considered normal. Jordan struggled a lot, and Wang Dalin's touch was not good in this game. He had good space for every shot, but he just couldn't make it. After the first quarter, Jordan made 1 of 4 shots and scored 2 points. However, this guy was very active in grabbing rebounds. He actually grabbed 7 rebounds Although they were all backcourt rebounds, they were enough to make Jordan feel ashamed. . In the first three games, Ben averaged 5.5 offensive rebounds per game, currently ranking first in the league. Tonight, his performance in offensive rebounds was indeed a bit stretched. Wang Dalin also made 1 of 4 shots in the first quarter, but he also made 4 free throws and hit 3 of them. He scored 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter. Compared with the high productivity and efficiency in the first three games, Wang Dalin's condition in this game was obviously unsatisfactory. No player can guarantee that he will be in good condition in every game. People will have ups and downs, but Wang Dalin is a little anxious now This game has a mission! If he really couldn¡¯t beat Jordan and failed to complete the task, Wang Dalin would have no choice but to admit it. But if he couldn¡¯t beat Jordan because of his poor condition, that would be too cowardly! Since the feel is not good, then just try your best to break through. Anyway, Jordan's old arms and legs may not be able to stop him. In the second quarter of the game, Wang Dalin strengthened his physical confrontation and breakthrough, but still had no sports victory."Whoops!" Wang Dalin hit two consecutive three-pointers, and his shooting confidence has also been greatly improved. "Fortunately, there are still 4 minutes left in the second quarter. We must take advantage of this time to get more data. Jordan will go big in the second half!" Wang Dalin knows very well that if he cannot lead Jordan by a large margin in various statistics in the first half, then the "God Killer" mission will be completely out of the question. Were Karl Malone and John Stockton great back then? ¡°One is a super point guard who dominates the all-time assists and total steals list, and the other is a perverted muscular man who is second only to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in all-time scoring. Are they still unable to beat Jordan? Wang Dalin is still self-aware, at least now he will be completely blown away by Jordan when he is at his peak! So, what does a mere trash talk mean? He felt that as long as he did not play dirty tricks such as stepping on Jordan's feet, inserting his eyes, or picking his crotch in this game, he should try his best to show off everything he had learned in his life. Even if some moves were not on the stage, he would not care (note Please visit our website: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 126 The Battle of the Gods (3) (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The game continued. In the second half of the second quarter, Wang Dalin's touch recovered. After hitting two consecutive three-pointers, his behind-the-back jumper gradually regained his sight. Sometimes it feels very mysterious. When it suddenly disappears, you can't find it back anyway. But when it suddenly comes back, you will feel that it doesn't matter how much you invest. But Jordan feels good now, so Wang Dalin used almost all means on the defensive end. Not only did he continue to talk trash in Jordan's ears, but every time Jordan turned his back to catch the ball, he would use small tricks such as pulling the jersey, pushing the back of the knee, pinching the waist, etc., which made Jordan more and more unhappy and frequently shouted to the referee. complain¡­¡­ ??????? Is there anyone in charge? Why does this second-year brat look like an old basketball hooligan? Where did you learn these little moves from the 1980s? As a person who has come from that era, Jordan is certainly not unfamiliar with these small actions. Instead, he feels a "familiar sense of intimacy." Enjoying these "familiar" tortures, Jordan couldn't help but think of his teammate Dennis Rodman Damn, that's how that guy defended Karl Malone back then! Although these small moves are not as despicable as "stepping" and "elbow strikes", the defensive effect is surprisingly good. If Jordan is given a few more games to get used to it, these small moves by Wang Dalin will not have any effect on Jordan, but after all, Jordan has been out of action for a long time, and these moves have caused a lot of interference to him, and what follows is a hit. Rates plummeted. Under Wang Dalin¡¯s hard defense, Jordan failed to score in several consecutive attacks, but Wang Dalin seized the opportunity and succeeded in 4 consecutive attacks, and also sent 2 assists to Hamilton and Billups. At the end of the first half, the Pistons led 55:47 by 8 points If Stackhouse hadn't scored 20 points in the half, the Wizards would definitely be further behind. Compared with Stackhouse's outstanding performance, Wang Dalin's performance in the first half was not much better. He made 8 of 14 shots, including 3 of 4 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 23 points and 6 points. Rebounds and 4 assists. Generally speaking, Jordan still had a bad touch in the first half. He only hit 6 goals in 14 shots. Moreover, he was too obsessed with the move of leaning back. As a result, he didn't even get to the free throw line at the end of the half, and only got 6 goals. 12 points. But this guy actually grabbed 8 rebounds in half the game, which really embarrassed the Pistons' interior players. In addition, Jordan also sent 3 assists. The "old gangster" has never been a "lonely force". During the halftime break, Wang Dalin decisively used the last opportunity to add points as rewarded in the last mission to increase his three-point ability to 90. He thought very clearly that facing Jordan who was about to "open up", he couldn't guard him no matter what. Instead of focusing on the defensive end and doing useless work, it was better to give it a try and attack him. Even the invincible Jordan in the 1998 Finals was very good at three-pointers, and on the basketball court three-pointers are ultimately greater than two points! He is not worried about not being able to match Jordan in assists, because except for Stackhouse, the other players on the Wizards team are really good. Even if Jordan is willing to pass, they can't score. As for reboundswell, Jordan did grab a lot in this game. However, Wang Dalin believes that as long as he works hard in the second half, he still has a chance to overtake. After all, he has an advantage in height, and his rebounding ability is definitely higher than Jordan. The most important thing is scoring As we all know, Jordan has the best scoring average in NBA history. Even the "Dashuai Zhang" in ancient times is weaker than him! ¡­¡­ The intermission ended quickly and the game continued. As soon as Wang Dalin came on the court, he noticed a change in Jordan. His whole aura was different, as if he was exuding a strong murderous aura. "Is this Jordan at his peak? You can feel his terror before even playing!" Wang Dalin's little heart was beating wildly Of course, this accelerated heartbeat was more about excitement. As a basketball player, who doesn¡¯t want to compete with Jordan at his peak? In the original version, Wang Dalin thought he would never have this kind of opportunity again in his life, but he didn¡¯t expect that the system would ¡°forcibly cheat¡± Jordan, allowing him to personally experience the feeling of playing with Jordan at his peak This feeling is hard to describe, it¡¯s like ¡°even if you lose, It¡¯s worth it too¡±! Wang Dalin quickly patted his face "Wang Dalin, what are you thinking, you pighead? What's the point of 'losing is worth it'? The person in front of you now is not your idol."Uncle Husband"'s player career has two very important labels. First, this guy is a very famous "evergreen" in NBA history. His career lasted for 18 seasons, and he was still at the end of his peak period until he was 37 years old. Second, this guy is an extremely rare big shooter in the early years of the NBA. In that era, almost no inside players liked shooting from the outside, but Robinson's three-point shooting ability was quite good. His career three-point shooting percentage was 35.6%, and it basically remained above 37% at his peak. After Wang Dalin mentioned the high post support, the Wizards' defense was immediately stretched The Pistons had four players on the court with baskets on the outside. This situation is difficult to defend no matter what era. And Wang Dalin is the core of this tactic, and his shooting ability is well known to everyone. Who knows whether he will pass the ball to his teammate who is cutting in the air or he will suddenly pull it out himself? Although Jordan felt that his physical condition suddenly improved a lot, he still felt a lot of pressure Are we going to lose this game? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 127 The Battle of the Gods (4) (Third update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! (Today Lao Wang updated 10,000 words, please subscribe and reward!) After Jordan "opened up", he began to show his unstoppable strength. Wang Dalin had exhausted every defense method and still could not stop his attack. During the Bulls era, Jordan's offensive methods went far beyond the fadeaway shot. It can be said that Jordan was definitely the strongest "offensive kaleidoscope" in the league. Of course the behind-the-back fadeaway shot was indeed his most confident. one move. Jordan was not so stubborn that he insisted on showing off his "eighteen martial arts skills" in front of Wang Dalin. He only used one move to beat Wang Dalin with his back, and he was completely helpless. The defensive end was completely blown away. Fortunately, Wang Dalin still maintained his firepower on the offensive end. Especially after his three-point ability increased to 90, his confidence in his three-point shooting was unprecedentedly high. Just like that, about 8 minutes into the third quarter, Jordan scored 8 points on 4 of 6 shots from behind in the mid-range, while Wang Dalin scored 9 points on 3 of 5 shots from beyond the three-point line, which was even more than Jordan. 1 point. Facts have provedthree-pointers are indeed more efficient than two-pointers! As time passed by, the fans at the "Palace of Auburn Hills" discovered that the game had turned into a battle between Wang Dalin and Jordan. What kind of games do fans like to watch? Needless to sayof course it's a star vs. Biao! So the fans at the scene cheered for Wang Dalin at the top of their lungs and booed Jordan the most enthusiastically. Once upon a time, in this arena, the "Bad Boys" gang also staged several rounds of century battles with Jordan The Pistons have always been this man's enemy! In the second half of the third quarter, Wizards coach Collins took Jordan off the court to rest. Jordan only rested for a minute or two in the first half, and played another eight minutes in the third quarter. Even if he was Michael Jordan, he was already very tired. The system's "forcible cheating" on Jordan only temporarily returned his condition to that of 1998, but the system cannot give him physical strength. After all, he is an old guy who is about to turn 39 years old. Wang Dalin took advantage of Jordan's exit to get 2 assists and 3 rebounds Jordan didn't have such a good chance when he came up again in the fourth quarter. At that time, I'm afraid all his energy had to be focused on attacking him. To be honest, since his physical strength increased to 90, Wang Dalin felt that he was already at this level of physical fitness. He would not be tired even if he played for 37 or 8 minutes in a game. However, tonight he faced off against Jordan many times, and he still felt physically and mentally exhausted. Sometimes the inner exhaustion is worse than the physical exhaustion. Seeing Jordan gasping for air off the court, Wang Dalin felt that this might be his only chance to defeat this guy If Jordan could really go back to the time he was in 1998, his physical strength would not be so bad! As Wang Dalin focused on grabbing rebounds and assists, the rest of the Pistons also began to show off their power. The Wizards only had Stackhouse struggling to support the team on the field, but it was obvious that he was unable to defeat four hands with two fists and was completely defeated. After three quarters, the Pistons led 83:68 by 15 points. Just looking at the score, the Wizards should have lost. "But the Wizards have Michael Jordan here. It is estimated that no one dares to say that they are lost at this time. After all, this man has created too many miracles in the past. What is the point of a dramatic comeback? In the TNT live broadcast room, Barkley frowned and remained silent. Smith asked strangely: "Charles, what's wrong with you? Darling King's current performance is ahead of Michael, why don't you stop squealing?" Buckley mused: "No one knows Michael better than me. The more times like this, the more amazing energy he will burst out, so I really dare not say that Darling King will definitely win!" Smith sneered: "Then why don't you bet on Michael winning?" Buckley smiled slightly: "You don't understand this. I never defeated Michael back then, and of course I can't bet on him now. This is called principle, do you understand?" ¡­¡­ Wang Dalin was also resting on the bench at the beginning of the fourth quarter. He played a total of 32 minutes in the first three quarters of this game. He had to take a rest in the fourth quarter anyway, otherwise even if his physical strength is as high as 90, he will probably be exhausted by the end of the game. Tired to the point of exhaustion. Jordan reappeared at the beginning of the fourth quarter. While Wang Dalin was not on the court, his opponent became Williams. Obviously, this powerful substitute small forward was no match for Jordan Even though It¡¯s Jordan during the Wizards era, ??The ball was intercepted, and he rushed to the frontcourt and hit a chasing three-pointer 80:89, the Pistons led by 9 points. It was the first time Jordan felt the power of a three-pointer in a game. He had tried his best, but when he tried his best to score 2 points in the mid-range, his opponent's three-pointer could defeat his previous goal. Efforts are in vain I guess those who see Curry shooting a super long three-pointer in later generations will feel this way, right? The times are developing, and basketball technology is also advancing with the times. It cannot be said that the small ball era is definitely better than the basketball technology of the past, but it is an indisputable fact that the efficiency of three-pointers is higher than that of mid-range shots The premise is that you The throw is accurate enough! According to the "magic ball theory" of a fat man who is very annoying to Chinese people, when the three-point shooting rate reaches 40%, it is more terrible than the two-point shooting rate of 60%. Think about it: Now there are two people, one shoots three-pointers and the other shoots two-pointers. They each take 100 shots in the game, so they both get 120 points. However, there are 60 rebounds on the three-point shooting side, and only 40 rebounds on the two-point shooting side. According to the average offensive rebound rate of 1:4, the three-point shooting side will grab 5 more rebounds out of thin air, which is too much. 5 offensive opportunitiesIsn't a three-pointer better than a two-pointer? You know, in the entire league, there are many people who shoot more than 40% of their three-pointers, but how many of them hit more than 60% of their two-pointers? As strong as "Shark" O'Neal, his career shooting percentage is only 58.2%, let alone others? In the final stage of the game, Jordan realized this deeply. He scored 8 points in a row on 4 of 6 shots in the last 4 minutes of the game. It can be said that he has achieved the ultimate on the offensive end, but the Wizards have never been able to score. After catching up, they unfortunately lost 98:105. Jordan made 16 of 31 shots from the field and scored a total of 40 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists including free throws. His performance was absolutely outstanding, even compared to himself in his peak period. But Wang Dalin¡¯s performance was undoubtedly even better. He made 16 of 30 shots, including 6 of 10 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 44 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. Wang Dalin was of course very happy to win this duel. He slowly walked up to Jordan and asked him without pretending to be serious - "Now do you know me, Wang Dalin?" Wang Dalin certainly disdained this kind of behavior without emotional intelligence. On the contrary, he showed a sunny smile to Jordan: "Michael, I want to exchange jerseys with you, can you?" Jordan was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said: "Of course!" After saying that, the two took off their jerseys and handed them to each other. Jordan leaned into his ear and said: "Boy, you win this time. Next time you come to Washington, I promise to return it!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Stop dreaming, you can't beat me next time either!" The two looked at each other and smiled, then opened their arms and hugged each other tightly At the end of the game, Barkley chuckled and said, "Kenny, don't forget to bring the ring to the next live broadcast!" Smith was about to cry but had no tears. He pursed his lips and replied: "I know you are a person who has been stabbed a thousand times. I will never bet with you on Darling King again!" Buckley laughed and said, "I'm very happy that you can realize this! Think about it, since I started betting on Darling King, have you still beaten me? I have to tell you, Darling King Ling is ¡®Sir Charles¡¯ lucky star!¡± Smith said feebly: "I'll let you be proud for two days. Sooner or later you'll still have to lose the ring to me!" ¡­¡­ At the post-game press conference, it was the same reporter who asked Jordan with a smile: "Michael, now I want to ask, do you know Darling King?" Jordan laughed and said: "Well, I must admit that I underestimated this young man. His body is full of energy, just like when I was young. He will not be afraid of any opponent!" Unlike the one between Kobe Bryant and Jeremy Lin, although Wang Dalin¡¯s performance in this game was perfect, Jordan¡¯s performance was also quite explosive. The two can only say that they fought evenly, and the Wizards just lost, so Jordan didn't feel much frustration at being slapped in the face. And Wang Dalin won the game and won the data, so he has naturally completed the "God Killer" task and successfully received the "God Killer Badge" reward (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 128 Godhead collapsed? (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The game between the Pistons and the Wizards has been settled, but the topic about this game is not over. Jordan has not returned to the court for so long that many children playing basketball now have never seen how invincible he was with the Bulls. They only know Iverson, Kobe, Pierceand of course, Wang Dalin. So although Jordan scored 40 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, his performance was explosive, but the evaluation of him was unanimously negative, and they all believed that he was completely defeated in the duel with Wang Dalin. Jordan himself is too lazy to explain. His brilliant achievements have long been deeply engraved in the history of world basketball and NBA. How can he be upset just because he lost a game? But this time, the situation was completely beyond his expectation, because this public opinion trend has become more and more intense, and even many NBA stars have come out to speak out. "Magic" Earvin Johnson said publicly in an interview with reporters: "Michael is of course a very great player, but it is a bit too exaggerated for everyone to call him the 'God of Basketball'! He has won 6 championships. , but so what? Bill Russell has won it 11 times! And Michael is old now, this is an undoubted fact!" "Magic" was defeated by Jordan back then. In order to maintain his status in the world, of course he wanted to hold Jordan up high. If he continues to belittle his opponent after losing to Jordan, people will think that he is just a wasted reputation. But now the situation has changed a lot. More than 10 years have passed. Many new fans don¡¯t know what happened back then. They can only explore Jordan¡¯s glory from the old fans. As the saying goes, "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing." Jordan has played pretty well in the four games since his comeback this season, but it is far from the level of invincibility that fans remember. This instantly affects his impression. It's dropped a lot. As for "Magic's" remarks, I don't know if he really thinks so, or if he is boycotting Washington's getting better and better market for Los Angeles The NBA has always been full of competition! Jordan gradually couldn't sit still. He wanted to turn a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window, but more and more negative news kept reaching his ears in the past two days, which made him upset for a while. On November 7th, the Wizards visited Boston to challenge the Celtics. At the pre-game press conference in the morning, Jordan angrily criticized many media reporters: "I don't know how everyone suddenly got the impression that I am old. In the past four games, I averaged 27.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 6.5 rebounds per game. Assists, 2.5 steals, I want to ask you, how many people in the entire league can do this?" A reporter raised his hand and said with a smile: "Michael, I don't know about the others, but Darling Wang, who defeated you last game, averaged 37.8 points, 9 rebounds and 5.8 assists in the first four games. His performance is obviously better than yours." Better than that!" Jordan was speechless and could only suppress his anger and said: "Okay, I admit that Darling King's performance is very good, but I hope you will open your eyes tonight and see clearly. I will let all of you Eye-opening!¡± After saying this, Jordan immediately walked away. Naturally, his sudden departure made this press conference a little unhappy. ¡°I guess Jordan is also full of grievances Okay, he called me ¡°Xiao Tiantian¡± when he accompanied me to look at the stars and the moon, but now that he has a new love, he dislikes me, right? Why am I not worthy of the title "God of Basketball"? That night, the game between the Wizards and Celtics started first, and just half an hour later, the Pistons' away game against the Bulls also started as scheduled. Wang Dalin¡¯s touch was very bad in this game. After failing to succeed in three consecutive attacks at the beginning, he began to come to the high position to provide support. For a time, Billups, Hamilton and Robinson blossomed more. In the first half, the Pistons led by 15 points, 56:41. At the same time, there was another scene inside the "North Shore Garden Center" arena in Boston Jordan immediately launched a fierce attack as soon as he came on the court. He scored 10 points on 5 of 8 shots in the first quarter, beating his opponent Paul Pierce. Unfortunately, the teammates are really not good enough, especially Stackhouse, the team's second-leading scorer, has completely lost the good touch he had in the last game. He only hit 1 out of 6 shots in the first quarter, and his performance was very awkward. After the start of the second quarter, Jordan simply took off the passing button, but his touch obviously could not be maintained. He only scored 1 goal in 8 shots in this quarter, and his offensive efficiency was even worse than Stackhouse. In this section, Pierce finallyThe greatest superstar in this league, no doubt about it. Whether it was then or now, he is the unique 'God of Basketball' in my heart! " The reporter was obviously surprised, and then asked: "Don't you think he is old now and is no longer the best player in the league?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Mr. reporter, Michael is currently averaging 29 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals per game. What I want to say is that any player in the league currently can perform like Michael. He can be called the first-tier superstar in the league! Just because he is Michael Jordan, do you think this performance is not worth mentioning?" After a slight pause, Wang Dalin continued: "Because Michael is about to turn 39, I think his performance is even more valuable. He is definitely worthy of the title of 'God of Basketball'!" Wang Dalin didn't know that because of his remarks, Stern quickly noticed him, and the attention from the president was undoubtedly great news for him (Remember the website address: www .hlnovel.com Chapter 129 Care from the CEO (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The early morning sun shone on Fifth Avenue in New York, and Mark Tatum walked unhurriedly into the "Olympic Tower" building at 645 Fifth Avenue, which is the headquarters of the NBA League. As the NBA¡¯s executive vice president of global marketing cooperation, Tatum is one of the top figures in the NBA today, and there are only a handful of people whose status is equal to his. Since the beginning of this season, Stern has been interested in selecting one of several company executives to serve as vice president. Currently, Tatum and Adam Silver have the highest voices. Compared with Adam Silver, who holds the position of senior chief executive, Tatum is superior in terms of academic qualifications, ability and appearance. Moreover, he has been responsible for the league's global promotion plan for more than a year, so his strategic vision is undoubtedly more advantageous. Now is a critical moment. You have to do your best to earn performance, such as arriving at the company an hour early every day Don't underestimate this kind of detail. Stern, an old Jewish man, pays great attention to these details! As soon as I walked into the office, before I could sit down, I saw Stern¡¯s female secretary knocking on the door and coming in. "Mr. Tatum, the president invites you to go to his office!" "Okay, I'll be there right away!" When Tatum walked into Stern's office, he saw the president standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and staring downstairs. Tatum walked over and took a look, and saw the staff below walking into the building one by one. ¡°Mark, you¡¯re here!¡± Stern turned around and saw him, immediately showing a warm smile, ¡°I asked Lucy to prepare your favorite ¡®latte¡¯, let¡¯s come over and sit down and talk!¡± "Okay, Mr. Stern!" The two sat on the sofa. Not long after, the female secretary brought two cups of coffee. Stern smiled and said: "Lucy, please help me cancel all the appointments in the morning. I have very important work arrangements!" "Yes, sir!" The female secretary turned around and backed out, closing the office door. "Okay, I'll get straight to the point!" Stern smiled, "Mark, if I remember correctly, you have been with the company for two years, right?" "Yes, sir, your memory is really good!" Tatum is undoubtedly a master at communicating with people. Being able to flatter the president without leaving any trace is a basic operation for him. "Haha, I can't do it anymore, I'm old!" Stern said with a smile, "Mark, you should have heard about it, right? The company wants to select a vice president?" "Yes, sir!" Tatum nodded. "Well, do you have any ideas?" Stern asked with a smile. "Sir, I never want to think too much about things that haven't happened yet!" Tatum smiled, "I think as long as I do my job well, Mr. President, you will definitely see it!" Stern smiled with satisfaction and continued: "I can tell you clearly that currently you and Adam are the most promising candidates, and the vice president will most likely be chosen from the two of you. Therefore, I will hand it over to you. A special task for you. Of course, Adam will also receive another special taskWhich of you will be the vice president this time depends on how well you complete this task!" A flash of light flashed in Tatum's eyes and he asked: "Mr. President, please tell me? No matter what kind of task, I will go all out to do my best!" Stern smiled and said: "This task assigned to you, I call it the 'God-making movement'. As the name suggests, we need to create a new generation of superstars!" He took a sip of coffee and continued: "Now Michael's skills are obviously not as good as before. His comeback alone will not improve the league's market as much as I expected. So I hope that in the next one or two seasons, A new group of superstars can emerge in the inner league, can you do it?" Tatum immediately fell into deep thought. Whether this matter is difficult or easy depends entirely on how determined Stern is. As an NBA executive, Tatum knows very well that it was Stern who single-handedly made Michael Jordan famous. Although Jordan is indeed superior, without Stern's strong support, he would never have become the "god of basketball" that everyone admires. The desperate resistance of the Pistons' "Bad Boys" alone caused Jordan to fail twice in the Eastern Conference. Moreover, facing the "Magic" and "show-time" Lakers who were still in their prime, Jordan and That young Bulls team doesn't have a full advantage either. Thinking again about the two finals in 1997 and 1998, did the Jazz really have no chance at all? The Bulls are awesomeLooking back, Trail Blazers power forward Rasheed Wallace hit a fadeaway three-pointer against Robinson's defense You must know that he failed to make a three-pointer in his first two three-pointers in this game. But he just gave the Pistons the most fatal blow. In this game, Trail Blazers shooting guard Bunch Wells made 11 of 16 shots, including 4 of 5 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. In addition, Rasheed Wallace also efficiently scored 27 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists on 12 of 19 shots. Counting the bonus of the buzzer-beater, he was actually the best performer in the game. Wang Dalin of the Pistons continued his poor touch from the previous game, making only 6 of 15 shots from the field and "only" 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists including free throws. Hamilton made 9 of 17 shots, plus 7 of 10 free throws, scoring 25 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. He was considered the Pistons' best player in this game. In fact, Wang Dalin didn't notice that he had already enjoyed a different treatment in this game. This can be seen from the number of free throws he made He made only 6 of 15 shots and didn't make a single three-pointer. How could he score 21 points? If he had not rushed to shoot that fadeaway jumper in the last 14 seconds, but had made one or two more fake moves, there would have been a high probability of getting a foul maybe the outcome of this game would have been completely different. ! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 130 The person who is also cared for by the president (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Wang Dalin missed the first wave of benefits launched by Tatum's "God-making Movement", but Tatum's actions were obviously more than that. On the same night, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers personally enjoyed this kind of preferential treatment. That night, the Lakers faced the challenge of the Magic at the Staples Center. Facing Tracy McGrady, who performed as well as him last season, Kobe only played 33 minutes and made 8 of 13 shots, efficiently scoring 28 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 assist. Steal 1 block. It is worth mentioning that he went to the free throw line 14 times in this game! In contrast, McGrady fought hard for 41 minutes, but only made 7 of 18 shots. Although he also made 13 free throws, he only made 8 of them. In the end, he only scored 22 points, 7 rebounds, and no assists. . Although McGrady is not on Tatum's "key support" list, he is also one of the league's "popular chickens", so the referees will naturally not fail to take care of him. But given you so many free throw opportunities, if you don't live up to your expectations, who can you blame? The mvp of this game is undoubtedly "Shark" O'Neal. He made 16 of 30 shots from the field, plus 6 of 14 free throws. He scored 38 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 blocks and 1 stealexcept for the free throws, which stretched his hips as always. He was perfect in every way. The Lakers defeated the Magic 108:95 at home, winning their sixth consecutive victory. On the same day, the Wizards played against the Sonics at home. In the end, the Sonics defeated the Wizards 99:84. However, the fans' attention was not on the outcome of the game, because they saw a very sad scene Every time Jordan returned to the bench, he would always soak his legs into the ice. In a bucket of water, and always with thick ice packs on my knees. People can¡¯t help but ask - what happened to Jordan? Is he injured? At the post-game press conference, reporters did not see Jordan, so they had to ask this question to Wizards coach Collins. "Ah, it's like this. After all, Michael is a veteran who is about to turn 39 years old. Everyone knows that his knee condition has not been very optimistic, and he also has old injuries to his calf and ankle, so we can only do our best. Find a way to alleviate his situation a little!" Collins' expression looked a little heavy, even a little crying, "Michael is a hero, always has beenfor the Wizards, for Washington, he has given everything he has! " Journalists were moved by it It turns out that Jordan, who we have been slandering, is so great? God, what did we do the past few days? After the press conference, all major media published the latest reports. This time, their performance was surprisingly consistent. No article criticized Jordan's poor performance of only 5 of 26 shots in this game. They all focused on describing his leadership. The "great emotion" of continuing to fight despite being injured. "Fans, have you seen how difficult it is for Jordan?" "He still insists on working hard on the court despite being injured all over his body. Who do we have the right to belittle such a great superstar?" "As Darling Wang said before - Michael Jordan is the 'God of Basketball'. Whether it was then or now, he has always been the unique 'God of Basketball'!" The majority of fans have obviously been successfully guided by the overwhelming public opinion. Previously, most people believed that Jordan was no longer good and no longer worthy of the reputation of the "God of Basketball." Now this voice has almost disappeared overnight. Actuallyas a veteran who has been in the league for 13 seasons, who is not suffering from injuries? Which one is not fighting hard with injuries? I have to say that Adam Xiao Hua¡¯s trick of ¡°selling out¡± is very effective. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out who doesn't admire people with physical disabilities and strong minds? (Jordan: Lao Wang, you are so talented that you are physically disabled and your mind is strong, your whole family is disabled and your mind is strong!) It only took one game for Xiao Hua to completely turn around Jordan's image. Of course, Stern was very satisfied with his performance, and he was temporarily ahead of Tatum in the battle for vice president. There is no way. After all, the "god-making movement" takes time, and it certainly cannot be done faster than helping Jordan "restore his godhood." Only two games were played on the night of November 12th, when the Warriors challenged the Grizzlies away from home and the Jazz played back-to-back away Magic at home. Karl Malone made 10 of 23 shots in this game, plus 9 of 12 free throws. He scored 29 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. He was a strong performer. However, he was very depressed after the game, because in the eyes of fans, he was just one of Jordan's many losers.?When the Mavericks met, they had already fought in the opening game. At that time, the Pistons won with difficulty 113:109. Fans are looking forward to the second showdown between Wang Dalin and Nowitzki. Their confrontation in the opening game is still vivid in the minds of countless fans. During the warm-up before the game, Nowitzki took the initiative to say hello to Wang Dalin. The two hugged lightly. Nowitzki smiled and said: "I told you last time, wait until the next time I come to Detroit." , I will definitely take away a victory!¡± Wang Dalin smiled: "Okay, then you have to work hard. I feel that I am in good condition tonight!" Nowitzki was not to be outdone: "Really? I also feel that I am in very good condition, just wait and see!" Wang Dalin thought to himself: "Nonsense, of course I know you will be in very good condition Damn it, you just finished beating Peak Jordan, do you want to compete against Peak 'Old Driver' again? The system can really cause trouble!" Just when he was about to go on stage to warm up, the system in his mind suddenly made a "ding" sound. This prompt sound was obviously that the system had issued another temporary task. He quickly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and opened the system interface to check. Sure enough, he saw it. A pop-up page(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 131 Fighting King Nuotian Again (1) (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! ¡°It has been detected that the host is about to have a second fateful showdown with the historical superstar Dirk Nowitzki, so the system has issued a temporary mission ¡®Mount Tiger Mountain Again¡¯!¡± "'Travel to the Tiger Mountain Again': The host's last duel with Nowitzki was a classic. When the host meets this destined opponent again, he will surely face a stronger challenge from the other party So, don't be afraid, Fight him bravely!" "Specific requirements: ? 1. The host¡¯s team must beat Nowitzki¡¯s team in this game; 2. The host¡¯s scoring, rebounding and assists statistics must all be higher than Nowitzki¡¯s; 3. The host¡¯s shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage and free throw percentage must all be higher than Nowitzki¡¯s; Reward for completing the mission: Nowitzki¡¯s S-level star skill ¡®Golden Rooster Independence¡¯! " "Golden Rooster Independence (S level): The unique skill of Dallas Mavericks legendary superstar Dirk Nowitzki. This skill is a passive skill. After the host is equipped with this skill, the backward range will increase by 5%-8% when shooting behind the back, and the decrease will be reduced. Opponent interference is increased by 10%, and shooting stability is increased by 10% (the host's original shooting action will not be changed after equipping this skill)." "Note: Since Nowitzki has not yet reached the peak of his career, he will temporarily have the status of the 2006-2007 season in this game. Please be extra careful!" Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but complained in his mind after seeing the name of the mission: ¡°¡®Travel to Tiger Mountain Again¡¯? Do you want another ¡®Legend of the Condor Heroes¡¯ or ¡®Heroes Fearless¡¯?¡± When he saw the mission reward again, he had only one thought - "I've finally waited for this day!" Since time travel, Wang Dalin has believed that the most suitable stunt for him is the "Golden Rooster Independence" because he has a height very close to Nowitzki and has a better wingspan than him. ??????????? If he was already overjoyed when he got the "Maidi Ganba", now that he has the opportunity to get the "Golden Rooster Independence", the joy in his heart is simply incomparable Well, he hasn't gotten it yet, low-key! Low profile! In the 2006-2007 season, Nowitzki has reached the peak of his career. He is indeed very powerful, but Wang Dalin also has a killer weapon - the "God-Slayer Badge"! If it were Nowitzki in this period, his badge would be useless at all, but in this game he is about to face Nowitzki at his peak, who is a proper S-class superstar, "God Killer Badge" "It will naturally come in handy. Think about the description of this badge After assembling this badge, the host will exude a certain degree of deterrence when facing any S-class star, which can cause the opponent's status to randomly decrease by 3%-10%! Although the "old driver" won the first MVP trophy in his career in the 2006-2007 season, his "Golden Rooster Independence" has not yet been developed, so he is not as strong as he was in the 2010-2011 season. So Wang Dalin believes that his strength is already good, and coupled with the restrictions placed on Nowitzki by the "God Killer Badge", he may not lose this PK! After the warm-up, Wang Dalin took the initiative to exchange a few words with Carlisle in a low voice, and Carlisle immediately showed an incredible expression. This guy actually asked to play the fourth position, and he wanted to face off with Nowitzki for the whole game! Carlisle had already made sufficient tactical arrangements before the game. Wang Dalin suddenly proposed to play the fourth position, which caught him a little unexpectedly. Fortunately, Clifford Robinson's swing ability is very strong, and it is not impossible to swing from the fourth position to the third position, so Carlisle quickly rearranged the arrangement, and the starting five of both sides made a brilliant debut. The Mavericks¡¯ starters for this game are center Sean Bradley, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, small forward Michael Finley, shooting guard Greg Buckner, and point guard Steve Nash. The Pistons¡¯ starting lineup has changed a bit, including center Ben Wallace, power forward Wang Dalin, small forward Clifford Robinson, shooting guard Richard Hamilton, and point guard Chauncey Billups. In fact, there is no change in the offensive end when Wang Dalin plays the fourth position. He is still used to attacking from the outside, but on the defensive end, he will defend Nowitzki all over the court. Facing the "big bamboo pole" Bradley who is 229cm tall, Ben can only show a wry smile when jumping the ball This guy is so tall, no matter how much I jump, I can't beat him! " Bradley is currently the tallest player in the league. Wang Dalin was very impressed by this guy back then After all, there are only a few players taller than Yao Ming in NBA history. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ¡°Big Bamboo Pole¡± is only tall and has good defensive awareness, but his strength is too stretched on his hips, so he often becomes the one who gets dunked.Presumably in order to preserve his strength as much as possible, Nelson sent out a full substitute lineup at the beginning of the second quarter, while Carlisle replaced Wang Dalin and the others in advance, only taking Ben and Hamilton off the court to take a rest. At this moment, the Pistons' lineup on the field is a bit "deformed": center Wang Dalin, power forward Robinson, small forward Williams, shooting guard Barry, and point guard Billups. Mavericks backup center Danny Manning was selected to the All-Star team twice that year, but he is now 35 years old. How can he outrun Wang Dalin with his old legs? And with his height of 208cm, coupled with his vertical jump that is almost the height of a Coke bottle, even if Wang Dalin doesn't use speed to bully him, just doing a dry pull in front of him is enough for him to drink a pot. Backup point guard Hardaway is also completely unable to withstand Billups' powerful impact. He cannot compare with Billups in terms of height, tonnage or speed not to mention he is also a 35-year-old guy! Only Howard and Robinson in the Mavericks' bench are evenly matched. Their technical types are somewhat similar. They are both strong offensive and defensive power forwards, and both have good shooting abilities. The only difference is that Robinson is more accurate in three-pointers, and "Uncle Huo" is better at mid-range shots. However, with only "Uncle Huo" alone, it was obviously difficult for him to beat four hands with two fists. Wang Dalin and others seized the opportunity and scored a 12:2 climax in just 4 minutes and 23 seconds. "I don't know what Nelson was thinking, but he actually sent out a full substitute lineup at this time. It can be seen that even the most famous coaches in NBA history have times when their IQ is in arrears. The score has reached 42:32. Nelson did not dare to be willful anymore and quickly called a timeout to make adjustments and replace all the starting five players on the field. For the Pistons, Hamilton and Ben also rested for a long time and returned to battle after the timeout. Many times when the team's lead reaches double digits, the head coach will always put the star player on the bench to have a good rest, especially in the later small ball era, this situation is very common. However, most head coaches in this era still prefer to "beat the main players hard", even famous coaches like Carlisle are no exception, so he chose to let Wang Dalin stay on the court. I have to say that Carlisle¡¯s arrangement was very wise, because in the last 7 minutes and 37 seconds of the second quarter Nowitzki finally "opened up"!

In fact, as a "senior fan", Wang Dalin has always believed that Nowitzki does not have a high "crit rate"! Compared with later generations of "Tang Shen" who scored 60 points in 29 minutes, and Kobe Bryant who scored 62 points in 33 minutes and other incredible performances, Nowitzki has only scored 50+ in a single game twice in his career Even within this range "Relaxed" to 40+, he only had 20 times, which still includes two 50+ times! Therefore, although it is well known that "King Nuo" is the most offensive power forward in NBA history, and even the word "one" can be removed, Wang Dalin still has an impression that this superstar's "crit hit" ¡°The level is just average. However, in this game, in front of Wang Dalin, Nowitzki showed his sharp fangs It¡¯s also a behind-the-back jumper, it¡¯s also a slow three-step breakthrough that resembles the ¡°grandfather style¡± of the court, it¡¯s also an offensive method that was completely within Wang Dalin¡¯s expectationsbut he just can¡¯t guard against it! ??????????????????????????????? When a person is cheating and betting no matter what, what can you do? Watch him complete his wonderful performance? I guess this is how Tim Thomas, who was guarding him by the Bucks at the time, felt this way when Wang Dalin "cheated" in the playoffs a few months ago, right? ¡°Nine times out of ten you will be unhappy in life, how can everything go as planned?¡± Wang Dalin tried his best but couldn't stop Nowitzki from scoring consecutive points. At this moment, these words probably passed before his eyes, right? To put it in plain language, that is - "When ******) comes and you can't resist, you might as well just lie down and enjoy it!" In this era, the NBA's highest single-quarter scoring record is "Iceman" George Gervin's 33 points. Nowitzki indeed failed to break this shocking record, but he scored in the second half of the second quarter. He scored 27 points in 7 minutes and 37 seconds, which is really jaw-dropping! In these 7 minutes and 37 seconds, Nowitzki made a total of 9 of 10 shots, including 4 of 5 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws If you have to say that he was cheating with Wang Dalin last season against the Bucks. What's the difference? He just missed a shot. Wang Dalin¡¯s heart was filled with a wave of grass and mud horses running past one after another, leaving only his balls still aching To be fair, if Carlisle had not insisted on keeping Wang Dalin on the court during this period, the Pistons would have been in trouble. After all, under such a shocking scoring performance by "King Nuo Tian", only Wang Dalin in the Pistons could resist a little bit. For a moment. During this period, Wang Dalin tried his best to defend Nowitzkieven though it was useless. His stable output on the offensive end is the key to the Pistons not being taken away by the wave. Wang Dalin made a total of 4 of 7 shots in these 7 minutes and 37 seconds, including 2 of 4 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 12 points in more than half a quarter. In fact, he was already very good but he I met a more awesome pervert. So Even though Nowitzki scored 27 points in a single quarter, the Mavericks only led by 5 points. At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides reached 54:59. During the halftime break, the fans at the scene cheered one after another. Being able to see such a wonderful offensive performance, even if this is the "Palace of Auburn Hills" arena, the fans of the home team are not unhappy. On the contrary, they enjoy the process quite a lot Although they will miss Nowitzki every time he gets the ball. Let out an earth-shattering boo. Just a few months ago, they also witnessed Wang Dalin's massacre of the Bucks in front of the TV and it was a massacre for four consecutive games! Therefore, Detroit fans firmly believe that Wang Dalin will make a strong counterattack in the second half. Wang Dalin didn¡¯t know that the fans at the scene had such high expectations for him. If he knew about it, he would definitely panic Are you overthinking it? I'm not cheating today! In the Pistons locker room, Carlisle looked at the dejected players, sighed and put down the tactical board in his hands, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, what's wrong with you? We're just 5 points behind. Are you going to do it now?" Do you admit defeat?" Everyone raised their heads and looked at him, but the expressions on their faces did not improve at all. "Hey, don't be like this. He just got kicked hard in the butt. Can't we just kick him back in the second half?" Carlisle pretended to be relaxed and said, "Wang did a great job defending Dirk. If we continue in the second half, we have to put more pressure on him! Others, don't hesitate when defending, and double-team Dirk once he gets the ball!" Billups whispered: "But we were double-teamed just now, can he still make the shot?" The smile on Carlisle's face disappeared instantly, as if, we can't let him vote like this anymore. Speaking of defense, he performed well against Jordan a few days ago, so he immediately started using the same move on Nowitzki. First, he pulled the jersey, then pushed his back cover, and then pinched his waist from time to time Well, it feels pretty good! Finally, there was another "eye-opening" shot. Nowitzki really failed to make the shot, and the shot went very far. Wang Dalin secretly regretted: I should have used these moves long ago! Even though Nowitzki "opened up" and hit consecutive "crits", he didn't use these moves. Why? Facts have proved that Wang Dalin is still too "kind" and he will always instinctively refuse to use these moves on the court On the court, especially on the NBA court, this is not a good habit! You can despise Bruce Bowen or Zaza Pachulia for playing dirty tricks on others, because this kind of behavior is undoubtedly extremely despicable and should be reviled by everyone and even banned for life. But small defensive moves like tugging on the jersey and pinching the waist and eyes are harmless, but they are just a bit out of place. At least they will not cause harm to people. These little tricks Wang Dalin learned from Bowen can produce good results against Jordan, let alone Nowitzki? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off. "The old driver" was distracted by Wang Dalin's continuous little moves. He obviously lost his accuracy. He also failed to score in the next two attacks. Wang Dalin was very satisfied with being able to defend against the top Nowitzki three times in a row. He also seized the opportunity to score all three attacks in a row, and his shooting percentage was finally close to Nowitzki's. The Mavericks were 7 points behind the Pistons 61:68. Nelson decisively called a timeout. Firstly, he wanted to interrupt Wang Dalin's touch, and secondly, he also wanted to rearrange the offensive tactics. Although Nowitzki just missed three consecutive shots, he has made 11 of 17 shots in this game so far, and his offensive efficiency is still very high. But the team's offense cannot rely on him alone. In addition to this "veteran driver" who is in great shape, the Mavericks also have two scoring masters in Nash and Finley! Nelson has always liked to play offensive basketball, and he does not object to a certain player taking crazy shots on the court like Bobo did, butbasketball is played by five people after all! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 133 Fighting King Nuotian Again (3) (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! "Boys, I've told you many times that you must pass the ball. Have you forgotten? Don't always give the ball to Dirk and ignore it. No matter how strong he is alone, he can't let us win. This game!" Old Nelson scolded his disciples with a serious expression, "Steve, Michael, and Zhu Wan you have to cover more and run more. Don't I have to teach you these basic skills?" Nowitzki was silent, and you could tell from the sweat on his face that he was starting to get tired. Although the second half didn¡¯t last long, Wang Dalin kept pestering him very tightly, and those small moves required him to constantly use up his energy to struggle and get rid of them. For Nowitzki, who just played 36 minutes in Cleveland last night, his physical fitness is obviously not in the best condition tonight. ???????????????????????? And what makes him feel the most wrong is he obviously feels that his condition is better than usual, but he always feels like he is timid when facing Wang Dalin. This feeling is likefear! Yes, he always felt that he had an inexplicable fear when facing Wang Dalin, which made him feel very uncomfortable. If the opponent is Shaquille O'Neal, this is understandable. After all, everyone in the league will be a little scared when facing that inside behemoth, but Wang Dalin is just a second-year rookie, why should he? Even if this kid has become the boss of the Pistons this season, his performance is worthy of his position in the team, but how can his "high status" scare me, a "veteran driver"? Nowitzki didn't know that his inexplicable fear of Wang Dalin was actually the "God-Slayer Badge" on Wang Dalin's body. Nash saw that his good partner was a little depressed, so he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Dirk, you don't have to worry about the three missed shots just now. You and Zhu Wan will make a good move later. I'll I will definitely pass the ball to you!" Nowitzki forced a smile: "I'm fine, don't worry about me!" Finley also smiled and deliberately joked: "You're good Steve! You let Dirk and Juwan run well, and you just pass the ball to them and not to me, right?" His face does look cold, and his smile is uglier than his cry. To be honest, people call him the "poor version of Jordan". In fact, it doesn't just mean that his strength can only be regarded as the "poor version" compared with Jordan. It's more because his face looks very good. "poor". Nash smiled and said: "How can that be possible? Don't worry, as long as you can run out of a good position, I will definitely be able to pass the ball to you, believe me!" ¡­¡­ After the timeout, players from both sides appeared again. The Mavericks' lineup has been slightly adjusted: Buckner was replaced, "Big Bamboo Pole" Bradley appeared again, "Uncle Huo" swung to the third position, and Finley swung to the second position. The Pistons also made some adjustments, replacing Williams with Robinson. Compared to Williams, who is not yet 28 years old, Robinson is undoubtedly too old. Although he can be called "getting stronger with age," Carlisle is still very strict with his playing time. And after all, he has moved to the third position, and he is definitely not as comfortable as playing the fourth position. This makes him inferior to Williams, a genuine small forward. Besides, the Pistons are now leading by 7 points, which is a good time for him to take a break. The most critical moment of the fourth quarter is to rely on him, a veteran, to stabilize the morale of the army! The game continued and it was the Mavericks' turn to attack. After Nash came to the frontcourt, he showed off a series of dribbling skills under the crotch and behind the three-point line. Through various rhythm changes, he successfully broke through Billups' defense. He rushed to the edge of the three-second zone and saw Williams coming to help defend. The ball in his hand suddenly flew to the hands of "Uncle Huo" who had just been missed. "Whoops!" Uncle Huo's accurate mid-range shot from the bottom line helped the Mavericks narrow the point difference to 5 points. Ben patted Williams' butt and said sheepishly: "This ball is mine!" With this shot, his position was closer to Nash, but he was blocked behind Bradley just now and could not break free, so Williams came to make up for it and missed the ball, which actually helped him take the blame. There is one thing to say, even though Bradley had almost no performance on the offensive end in this game, his performance on the defensive end was really good, especially his defensive attitude was quite positive. When attacking, he can always find a good position on the edge of the three-second zone, but his teammates see that his opponent is notoriously defensive.sp; Looking up at the big screen, Wang Dalin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Nowitzki had made three mistakes in the game, while he only had two. At this point in the game, maybe he himself was a little dizzythe data of turnovers was not within the mission requirements! In the final stage of the game, Nash still handed the ball to Nowitzki more. Compared with the "nominal" boss Finley, he was still more willing to trust the "old driver". However, the "old driver's" offense did not go smoothly because Wang Dalin faced him again. It¡¯s still those familiar little moves, still just as disturbing. Nowitzki¡¯s movements are even a little deformed every time he takes a shot. How can such a ball be made? Wang Dalin on the opposite side is completely different. He is very calm every time he takes a shot. Even if he does not make a shot, it is not because Nowitzki puts too much defensive pressure on him. It is just a normal ups and downs of touch. "Compared to the best power forwards in the league at the same time, such as Duncan, Garnett and Webber, Nowitzki is undoubtedly the one with the worst defensive level, even at his peak. In the final analysis, Nowitzki's defense is too "clean" and his movements are indeed soft. At this point, Duncan and Garnett are undoubtedly much better. They never hesitate when it is time to commit a foul, and they will definitely slap them hard when they commit a foul. It is almost impossible for you to score a 2+1. Therefore, the defensive pressure Wang Dalin faces is much higher than Nowitzki, and his output environment is naturally much better. If it weren't for Nash and Finley's offensive firepower, it is estimated that the Mavericks would not be able to continue to bite the score. The point difference between the two sides has always been around 4 points. If the game continues like this, the Pistons will win the game without any suspense, but At the last moment, Nash suddenly went berserk and hit two consecutive three-pointers. The Mavericks instantly went ahead by 2 points, and Carlisle quickly called a timeout. The Pistons have been taking the initiative in this game. Even if Nowitzki suddenly "opened up" in the first half, they were not widened by the opponent. They quickly overtook the lead at the beginning of the third quarter. Unexpectedly, at the end of the game At that moment, the situation took a turn for the worse. There are now less than 20 seconds left in the game. The Pistons have only two tactical strategies. One is to pursue success rate, score 2 points steadily and then go to overtime; the other is to risk a three-pointer and score. If you win, you lose if you don¡¯t make it. Carlisle naturally chose a more prudent tactic. He handed the ball to Wang Dalin for the last shot. This is also a responsibility that he should shoulder as the boss of the team. But the plan did not change quickly. At this time, Wang Dalin was no longer with Nowitzki, but was replaced by Howard. Although he is not as tall as Nowitzki, his speed is faster than Nowitzki. Wang Dalin was tightly entangled by him and had almost no chance to catch the ball. Seeing that he was about to be whistled for serve for five seconds, Robinson had no choice but to serve the ball to Billups first. At the critical moment when he could win the game with the last defense, Nelson ignored Nash's thoughts and pushed him to the bench, replacing Buckner with better defense to face Billups. Billups dribbled the ball and slowly retreated to the center circle. He looked up from time to time and glanced at the timer above the backboard, counting in his mind. With 7 seconds left, he finally started. Facing Buckner, who was slightly taller and heavier than him, Billups' powerful impact failed to push him away and created no shooting space at all. Wang Dalin had already come out to pick and roll him, but Buckner got stuck in his position first. Billups showed a rare trace of panic in his eyes. "There is no other way, let's bet!" Seeing that time was running out, Billups immediately forced a shot. As a result, Buckner slapped the ball down as soon as it was released. By coincidence, the second spot was snatched by Wang Dalin. He had no time to make any moves, so he jumped into the air with his back to the basket, turned 180 degrees, and threw it towards the basket purely based on his impression ¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 134 This time it¡¯s ¡°demigod¡± (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Wang Dalin has never shot a three-pointer with such uncertainty, even if he made a "knowing shot" at the buzzer with the logo in the center circle last season. Although it was indeed a matter of luck, that ball at any rate Aiming at the basket and shooting! What about this time? I didn¡¯t even see the basket, so I just threw it blindly. If it can go in I guess readers will think that Lao Wang is forcibly opening the halo of the protagonist for Wang Dalin. But Wang Dalin is indeed the protagonist so the ball flew through a high arc, and then accurately got into the basket. The moment the ball went in, Wang Dalin couldn't even see it, because he had been thrown to the ground by the Mavericks defensive players, and the referee was blowing the whistle desperately This ball actually had an extra penalty, it was 3+1! The more than 22,000 live fans in the "Palace of Auburn Hills" instantly climaxed. They chanted the name in unison - "Darling-KingDarling-KingDarling-King", and waited until Wang Dalin stood up At the free throw line, they started shouting "mvpmvpmvp" again. There was a trace of loneliness in Nowitzki's eyes. He had tried his best in this game and his performance was indeed very good. But if he lost the game, what's the point? Wang Dalin stood on the free throw line, unwilling to take the free throw for a long time. He just wanted to listen to "mvp" for a while longer As a professional player, what a glorious moment is this? ????????????????????????????? But the ball still had to be thrown away quickly. If he didn't shoot, the referee would probably blow the whistle. Wang Dalin calmed down, raised his hand, shook his wrist, moved the ball the ball went in, there was no suspense. The final score was 113:115, and the Pistons narrowly defeated the Mavericks by 2 points. It wasn't until the last minute of this game that Wang Dalin completed a comprehensive overtake of Nowitzki, completing the temporary task of "Mountain to the Tiger Mountain Again" in an extremely thrilling way When he thought of the name of the task, Wang Dalin couldn't help but I couldn't help complaining in my heart: This name is vulgar and unlucky! Nowitzki made 14 of 25 shots, including 4 of 8 three-pointers, and 9 of 10 free throws. He scored 41 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. If there is no Wang Dalin on the opposite side, he will definitely become the hero of the Mavericks tonight. He not only scored incredible statistics, but also led the team to win. Isn't it great? It¡¯s a pity that Wang Dalin¡¯s data is better than him, and the Pistons won! Wang Dalin made 13 of 23 shots in this game, including 9 of 16 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 42 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block and 2 steals, which was just better than Nowitzki's data. Just a little bit. After the game, Wang Dalin and Nowitzki exchanged jerseys. Although the game has a winner and a loser, and individual duels must be divided, there is indeed sympathy between the two. The audience was reluctant to leave for a long time, and they still chanted Wang Dalin's name in unison in the arena. The sound resounded through the sky and almost collapsed the roof of the "Palace of Auburn Hills". Wang Dalin walked to the sidelines and waved to the audience. The Pistons were able to defeat the Mavericks in this game because of the cheering factor of the home fans. At this moment, a yellow reporter suddenly walked up to him with a smile, held a microphone and said with a smile: "Dalin, I finally got a chance to interview you!" Wang Dalin was surprised, isn¡¯t this Zhang Weiping? There are many people in China who don¡¯t know Yang Yi and Su Qun, but as long as they watch basketball, who doesn¡¯t know Zhang Weiping? I think back then, when countless fans watched Yao Ming¡¯s games on the TV, they would always be accompanied by Director Zhang¡¯s magical commentary "Dayao, play with him!" "Dayao, walk him!" "Good shot! This is the way the shot should be played. This is what I often call 'reasonable'!" Coach Zhang has several nicknames. The more familiar ones include "Zhang Lili", "Bryant Zhang", "Weiping Bryant" In other words, besides his firm stance when commentating on Yao Ming's games , other times they are out-and-out hardcore Ke Mi. Maybe fans are more familiar with Zhang Weiping's commentary. In fact, he was a very powerful figure in the Chinese men's basketball team in the early years, and his historical status was as high as Mu Tiezhu. As early as the 1970s, he represented the Chinese men's basketball team and won two Asian Championships and one Asian Games championship. He also performed well in the 8th Men's Basketball World Championships and was nominated for the "Best Athlete" award at the tournament. , is a very good scorer. Seeing that Zhang Weiping's face was obviously less wrinkled, and his hair was not as gray as in later generations, Wang Dalin was really not used to it for a while. "Hello, Director Zhang, I really didn't expect to be able toTe said he was "looking forward to it", so Wang Dalin had no choice but to say the same thing to reporters. Even if his little heart was beating hard, he could not be timid on the surface. Besides, Wang Dalin had already gone toe-to-toe with the peak Jordan, and fought dozens of rounds with the peak "veteran driver". Now he was going to compete with this peak version of "demigod", and he felt that it was no big deal. Ofright? ¡­¡­ After the game started, Carter immediately launched a fierce attack on Wang Dalin. His face-to-frame offensive skills were very comprehensive. Wang Dalin was suddenly at a loss and was succeeded by his three consecutive attacks. Compared with the last time he played against Jordan, Wang Dalin felt that Carter's offense was undoubtedly more difficult to defend. Although he doesn¡¯t have as many fake moves as Jordan, and his breakthrough rhythm is not as flexible as Jordan¡¯s, his physical talent is so explosive. Wang Dalin has used various small moves, but he still can¡¯t stop his breakthrough. Some people say that Iverson's first step when breaking through is the fastest in the league. Wang Dalin expresses serious doubts about this Look at Carter's breakthrough first, just this first step, who dares to say that he is slower than Iverson? Already? Thanks to his unparalleled explosive power, Carter's first step when breaking through is very long, and he can often throw away the defender in just one step This is the case with Wang Dalin, who simply cannot keep up with him. Fortunately, his height and wingspan are a huge advantage. Even if he is thrown away by Carter's first step, he can quickly stick to him and cause interference. Otherwise, Carter would be able to make an emergency stop jumper every time with just one step. Carlisle also felt a headache. He stood up and shouted loudly on the sidelines, asking Hamilton and Billups to help Wang Dalin in defense. For a super scorer like Carter, no one in the league can guard him one-on-one. Even Kobe and Tracy McGrady can only fight with him. If you want to restrict him, you can only go up to the court. Double team. Since the defensive end is powerless, Wang Dalin did not sit still and wait for death Kobe and Tracy McGrady can attack each other with you, can't I, Wang Dalin, not do it? Your breakthrough is indeed sharp, and my shooting is not a vegetarian, okay? There is a saying, when Wang Dalin raised his three-point ability value to 90, his three-point shooting was already one of the best in the league. In the first 8 games, his three-point shooting rate was as high as over 50%. Even sharpshooters like Ray Allen and Peja Stojakovic dare not say that their three-pointers are more accurate than Wang Dalin. And his mid-range shooting ability value is also as high as 85. If he really needs some shooting space, he can hit more than 50% at any time. Dealing with Carter, who is more than ten centimeters shorter than himself, Wang Dalin naturally fully carried forward the spirit of "leveraging strengths and avoiding weaknesses". He had no intention of making a breakthrough at all, and basically just fought in various ways. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 135 Voting King? (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Wang Dalin and Carter basically formed a tendency to explode with each other. The two of them were fighting each other inextricably. However, at the end of the first quarter, the Pistons fell behind by 6 points, 26:32. It¡¯s not that Wang Dalin didn¡¯t give his best, it¡¯s that Billups was suppressed. Before the game, Wang Dalin had no idea that this point guard named Alvin Williams could actually suppress Billups. The two men are not at the same level in NBA history. The two were both rookies in 1997. Billups was the third overall pick, while Alvin Williams was only the 19th pick in the second round, both close to the bottom. And it goes without saying how awesome Billups¡¯s career is, right? Who is Alvin Williams? If they hadn¡¯t met in the competition, Wang Dalin wouldn¡¯t even know this guy! It¡¯s really surprising that such a nobody could defend Billups so badly. He was able to guard Billups not because he was so good defensively, but because he was 196cm tall and Billups was indeed a bit shorter than him. Moreover, he weighs only 84 kilograms and moves very fast, making it difficult for Billups to break through him from the front. In fact, Billups's strength is definitely better, but I don't know what happened in this game. He acted like he had been out all night last night, and he seemed to have no energy at all. Seeing "Second Brother" act like this, Wang Dalin couldn't help but secretly wake up in his heart It seems that you can't go to nightclubs often. If you go there, you will end up like this! The game continued. In the first half of the second quarter, the head coaches of both teams made some adjustments. At this time, the Raptors' starting center "Big Dream" Olajuwon suddenly hit a wave of critical hits as if he had come back to his senses. Yes, it¡¯s that ¡°big dream¡±! After his contract with the Rockets ended, he joined the Raptors and served as the team's starting center at the age of 38 this season. I saw the classic dreamy footsteps of "Big Dream" reappearing in the world. Ben, who has always been known for his strong defense, was played around by him and was completely blown away. In this wave, "Big Dream" scored 3 goals in 4 consecutive inside attacks. The only time he didn't score was because Ben fouled him in advance, scoring 8 points in just over three minutes. Big Ben is also extremely depressed. In fact, he doesn't have a headache when facing powerful centers. He even dares to challenge O'Neal, but "Big Dream"'s low post skills have reached the level of proficiency He just I can look up to the sky and sigh, "I can't do this, my concubine!" Not long ago, Jordan staged a "young man's comeback". Fans are probably still recalling that scene. They never thought that "Big Dream" who is older than Jordan would also come to such a wave. Being able to enjoy such a spectacle at the scene, not only the fans at the "Canada Airlines Center Arena" were delighted, but even Wang Dalin felt that the trip was worthwhile. Although the two sides are opponents on the court, this does not affect Wang Dalin's appreciation for Olajuwon No, it should be said to be "admiration". Looking at NBA history, Olajuwon should be in the top five in the center rankings, but if he has to be ranked in the top three, it is estimated that many fans will jump out and sing the opposite. But when it comes to low-post offensive skills, Olajuwon is definitely the best in history. This is recognized by many legendary centers such as O'Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Russell. By the time Wang Dalin and the others went into battle again, "Da Meng" had already sat off the field. After all, he was an "old man in his late forties", so he should rest as much as he could! The game returned to the situation where Wang Dalin and Carter faced off against Biao. The two of them were having a great time fighting each other, but Wang Dalin still suffered a little disadvantage in comparison. Carter¡¯s style of play is mainly based on breakthroughs, and his shooting ability is also quite good, so when Wang Dalin defends him, he will always focus on one thing and not the other In fact, it is difficult to defend Carter even if he just breaks through. Facing Carter, Wang Dalin could only use shooting as an offensive method. No matter whether he was pulling up or leaning back, the shooting rate of this offensive method was definitely not as good as Carter's rushing to the basket to finish After all, "more and more" The closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score." This is an eternal truth. If it weren¡¯t for the strong defense of Ben and Robinson inside, Carter would have completed several dunks long ago. Wang Dalin was extremely lucky for this. But how can it be possible to complete the task of preventing Carter from dunking by relying on luck alone? So Wang Dalin started to make a fuss about his defensive position. Every time Carter got the ball, he kept a distance of more than 1.5 meters from him This obviously means that he should give up shots and not sudden shots! Carter seems to beWang Dalin's name must be ticked as a forward. Next, the "Sports Weekly" magazine will send special personnel to contact newsstands across the country to collect the ballots, and then put these ballots into envelopes one by one and mail them to NBA headquarters. This series of operations is indeed quite troublesome, so proportionally speaking, this part of the vote is not too many, but this is calculated according to the proportion of China's population! So, can you imagine how surprised David Stern was when he saw this pile of votes? " Equally surprised were Tatum and Xiao Hua. The three of them looked at each other and couldn't say a word for a long time. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts - "There are so many Chinese people!" At the pre-game press conference on December 1, a reporter asked Knicks star Alan Houston: "Darling King received more than 900,000 votes in the first round of All-Star voting this season. What do you think? What do you think about this?" Alan Houston smiled and said: "What's weird about this? You have to know that China has a population of 1.3 billion, so what does a mere 900,000 votes mean? If Chinese fans love basketball as much as we American fans do, Darling Wang can easily You can get tens of millions of votes!" The reporter grabbed his words and immediately asked: "Do you mean that Darling-Wang was able to get so many votes only because Chinese fans were adding fuel to the fire?" Houston smiled: "I didn't say that, but as long as people can think of this kind of thing, it's not surprising!" The reporter asked him the last question, which is also the most critical question: "So, how do you evaluate Wang Dalin's strength?" I don¡¯t know if Houston ate ¡°brain fragments¡± this morning, but he smiled contemptuously and said, ¡°Does he have the ability? Why didn¡¯t I know?¡± The reporter quickly added: "Darling Wang just won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award today. His performance this season has been very good, right?" Houston smiled and said: "That's because he hasn't touched me yet. I will show you tonight that in front of me, Darling King is just a clown!" ¡­¡­ ¡°A little later, the Pistons also held a pre-game press conference. When the reporter told him what Houston had said, Wang Dalin was stunned for a long time, and then burst into laughter. "He really said that? In front of him, I'm just a clown?" "That's right, he said this himself!" "Okay Dear reporter friends, there is a great man in my hometown in China who once said, 'I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend them.' So, I will definitely blow up tonight. Him, even Jesus can¡¯t save him as I say this!¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 136 Is this true? (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! It's just an ordinary regular season game. There are dozens of games in each season. Logically speaking, Wang Dalin should never be so angry with a certain opponent, even if his name is Andrew Bogut Well, this This guy still needs to be taught a lesson! Just take Alan Houston, one of the stars of the New York Knicks, and the top mid-range shooter of Hamilton's generation To be fair, this guy's "status" is not low, just because he can get the New Yorkers to spend 100 million. Judging from the fact that the US dollar renewed his contract, this proves his value! "Non-mainstream crosstalk actor" Mr. Guo once said some wise words - "Art should be viewed separately. Art is art, and skill is skill! Art is your ability, and skill is how to sell your ability. ! If you only have art but no art, the audience will not think it is worth the few cents you pay for you. No matter how high your level is, it is meaningless; if you only have art but no art, it is pure fraud!" From this point of view alone, Houston is a player with both art and skill. Of course, this player is more accomplished in the aspect of "skill", otherwise he would not be able to sell nearly 20 million with only about 10 million. worth According to Wang Dalin¡¯s own evaluation system, this guy is only an A-level person, but in the end, he earns an A+ level or even an S-level income. People make their living based on their ability. You have to rely on your ability value of more than 80 to insist on getting a price of more than 90 ability value. Since it is in your hand, you should take it, but you take the money and bite it everywhere ¡­This is no different from those internet trolls before Wang Dalin traveled through time! "What do you mean I'm "just a clown"? I led the team to the best record in the Eastern Conference with 10 wins and 4 losses, and I got it by defeating the top superstars in history such as "Old Rogue" and "Old Driver"! This time, I have never cheated! Why on earth do you run up in front of everyone and bark like a broken-backed dog? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????] It has to be said that Wang Dalin was extremely indignant when he heard the reporter relaying Houston's words, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to be angry with this kind of person. After all If a dog bites you, do you really want to bite him back? So he didn¡¯t originally prepare a fierce counterattack. The most likely thing was ¡°we¡¯ll see¡± or ¡°he¡¯ll regret it¡±but the sudden sound in his mind made him change his mind. ¡°The temporary mission ¡®Tit for Tat¡¯ has been released, the host must complete it!¡± "Specific requirements: In tonight's game, the host must limit Alan Houston's scoring to less than 20 points, and the host must say no less than 30 A-level trash talk to Alan Houston (the level of trash talk will be evaluated by the system)! " "Reward for completing the mission: The upper limit of the host's investment ability value is increased to the full value of 99!" "Punishment for unfinished tasks: The host's medium-range ability value is reduced by 10 points!" It is conceivable that when Wang Dalin faced questions from reporters and the system in his mind suddenly issued such a task, what kind of reaction would he have? This is why he was stunned for a long time, and then burst into laughter. The reason why he was stunned was because he was reading the details of the system task at that time and couldn't help but laugh out loud It was just that he couldn't help laughing! The author of the article told everyone a few years ago - "We have all received strict training. No matter how funny it is, we will not laughunless we can't help it!" Compared with entertainment stars like Wen Zhang, Wang Dalin has always behaved with ease when facing reporters. This was the first time that he laughed out loud in front of reporters, so he was very dissatisfied with his performance Why did he only smile like that? Voice? So what if I laughed a little more? "It would be fine if the people who criticized him at the pre-game press conference were historical superstars like O'Neal and Duncan That would be fine. At worst, Wang Dalin's words when he responded would not be so sharp. Alan Houston? I have indeed been selected to the All-Star team twice in my career, but they were both selected as substitutes! Just you? My two sworn brothers are much better than you! This season, I have even dealt with peak Jordan, peak Nowitzki and peak Carter, and I am afraid that there will be one more of you To be honest, I am afraid that your "status" is too low, and I guess I will not be able to face those few. I can't help but crawl into a crack in the ground! The phrase "I said, Jesus can't save him" was naturally copied from a Hong Kong movie by Wang Dalin, but in this era, and in the United States, it is undoubtedly cool to dare to use Jesus as a flag?Jackson is 36 years old and has not performed very well on both offense and defense this season, but Billups still dare not underestimate him. In the NBA, there are always some people who become more and more demonic as they get older. Robinson of the Pistons is this type of person, and Mark Jackson is no less generous. The first ball has to be handed over to the star. This is an unspoken "unspoken rule" in the NBA, so Billups did not stick to the ball and passed it directly to Wang Dalin on the wing. As soon as Wang Dalin caught the ball, he saw Houston coming up with all his teeth and claws. His defensive actions were full of aggression, but Wang Dalin didn't care because this guy was just bluffing. Houston is undoubtedly a very good scorer, but he has never been an excellent defender. Both defensive statistics and defensive effectiveness are below the league average. Wang Dalin turned sideways to grab the ball with one hand, and then showed a sunny smile: "Alan, I will shoot this ball right there. If you can, guard me!" After saying that, he pointed to the horns on the left. Houston didn¡¯t say anything, he was fully focused, and he felt that instead of talking trash to Wang Dalin now, it would be better to guard against his attack and then laugh at him severely. snort! who do you think You Are? You still dare to specify the shooting position? You don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be fooled, do you? Wang Dalin made a little test with his right foot, but Houston was unmoved. He then stepped out with his left foot, but Houston still didn't move But Wang Dalin really moved this time. After he took a step to the left, he immediately Then came a jump step, then jumped up and shot. Houston is obviously a step slower. Once Wang Dalin takes off with his height and wingspan, how can he provide effective interference? The ball was scored cleanly, and Wang Dalin immediately smiled and said: "I told you I was going to shoot there, why don't you believe it?" Houston's face turned red but he didn't say anything back. He thought to himself: "Just wait and see, I will hit the answer-ball in front of you soon!" It was the Knicks' turn to attack. After Jackson dribbled to the frontcourt, Sprewell and Houston asked him for the ball on both sides of the wing. Jackson hesitated slightly and passed the ball to Sprewell. The biggest stars of the current Knicks team are Houston and Sprewell. Neither of them obeys the other, and they both want to be the boss of the team, so Jackson doesn't know who should give the ball to him. Just passed one on. He didn¡¯t think too much about this pass, but Houston already hated him How dare you, Jackson, not pass the ball to me. Don¡¯t you know that I am the boss of this team? Houston secretly made up his mind that after this game is over, he must give this old guy a pair of small shoes to wear. When Sprewell faced Hamilton, he did not make any fake moves and directly started the powerful crushing mode Hamilton was too light and could not stop a powerful man like "Madman". Rushing to the basket, Sprewell directly stepped up, Ben quickly came over to defend, and slapped the ball away. After delivering the hot pot, Daben couldn¡¯t help but roar to the sky, and for a moment he was so domineering (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 137 The Master of Trash Talking (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Ben¡¯s volleyball smash-style shot was really domineering, but he fanned the ball directly out of the baseline, so the ball was still in the hands of the Knicks. Camby sent a baseline ball, and Jackson immediately passed the ball to Houston after receiving the ball. After Houston received the ball on the wing, he immediately turned around. Wang Dalin quickly took a position in front of him, but Houston was a little disdainful How dare you stay so far away from me? Don't you know that my nickname is "Central Shooting King"? With such a good opportunity, Houston did not hesitate to take a shot, but when he jumped up, he only saw a big hand Under such strong interference, Houston's ball went too far, and in order to avoid Wang Dalin's block, Guys, he leaned back too far and fell to the ground as soon as he landed. Battier¡¯s move may not be very effective against top stars like Kobe Bryant, but it¡¯s more than enough to deal with guys like Houston. Billups picked up the backcourt rebound and immediately launched a fast break. Wang Dalin immediately started running after defending. In terms of speed, he is no slower than most forwards and swingmen. Billups was tightly entangled by Jackson, and the fast break opportunity was not good. He wanted to stabilize a little, but in his peripheral vision, he saw Wang Dalin running up quickly, so he passed the ball decisively. Wang Dalin took the ball and shot without any hesitation. In this era, most head coaches would be very disgusted with players shooting three-pointers during fast breaks. Even an enlightened head coach like Carlisle is quite disgusted with this behavior At present, it is estimated that only Nelson in the league encourages players. Did you throw this kind of ball? In fact, this offensive method has become very common in later generations. With the development of basketball, people began to pay more and more attention to three-pointers, which directly led to the advent of the small ball era. Wang Dalin's three-point ability value is as high as 90. As long as it is an open shot, he is at least 80% sure. A chasing three-pointer isn't it also open? "Shua", the goal was scored! Seeing Houston just running back to his own half, Wang Dalin laughed jokingly: "Hey, you're back. Are you always so slow when you go home?" Houston said angrily: "Rookie, don't get too proud too early!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "If you go home so slowly every time, you can really save a lot of trouble and avoid seeing some scenes you shouldn't see when you go home early!" After saying this, Wang Dalin immediately turned around and ran towards his own half, leaving Houston stunned He was still thinking about what he shouldn't have seen if he went home too early. It wasn¡¯t until the Knicks attacked again that this guy reacted and angrily said to Wang Dalin: ¡°Rookie, you will pay the price for what you said!¡± Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Then let's give it a try. I'll let you shoot this ball. It depends on whether you have the ability to make it!" Sure enough, when Houston received the ball, Wang Dalin's defensive position was still more than one meter away from him. Houston was not careless this time. He first made a test step, and when he saw Wang Dalin stepped back a little, he jumped up boldly. ¡° Little did he know that Wang Dalin¡¯s step back was a trap. He just clicked his right foot back, but in fact, his center of gravity did not move back at all. So when Houston took off to shoot, he was surprised to find that Wang Dalin stretched his hand in front of him again "Dang!" Being completely blocked by Wang Dalin¡¯s big hand, Houston¡¯s ability to shoot the ball to the basket was already very good It would have been a bit worse to shoot the ball differently, and he would probably have to make a mistake. It has to be said that the "CIC King" still has two skills. If he had not made enemies with Wang Dalin before the game, maybe he would have performed well tonight. "It's a pity that he is destined to offend the wrong person!" Ben blocked Camby and took off the rebound, and gave the guy a subtle elbow. The pain made Camby's facial features a little distorted. Ben has never liked to use these little tricks. He is undoubtedly a "tough guy" like Mourning. When fighting for positions, he usually relies on his iron tower-like body and thick and powerful arms. But Camby is different. He made a lot of small moves with his hands when fighting for position under the basket. He pinched Ben's waist several times and gave him a few elbows before. ?????????????????????????????????? This elbow from Da Ben is obviously a counterattack With a body as small as yours, you actually dare to play elbowing with me, without looking at whose elbow is thicker? When it comes to the power of the iron elbow, apart from Karl Malone, no one in the entire league is worthy of him. Even O'Neal dares to compete with him. The Pistons attacked again, and Wang Dalin did it to Billups this timeThe basket bounced several times and finally fell into the basket. Houston was overjoyed and was about to laugh at Wang Dalin when he saw Wang Dalin shouting in surprise: "Wow, you actually made the shot? Tell me how you did it. You secretly made it during the break." Are you on medicine?" Houston was so angry that he was so angry that he said angrily on the spot: "You are just on drugs, your whole family is on drugs!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Based on what I know about you, if you are not high on drugs, how can you score a goal in front of me? Tell me honestly, are you high on drugs?" Houston was so angry that his chest heaved violently and he couldn't say a word for a long time. Wang Dalin said again: "What's wrong with you? Don't be too excited. If you die on the spot, I won't be responsible!" ¡­¡­ In the second quarter, Houston's touch recovered a little compared to the first quarter, but it was still very strong, shooting 1 of 4 in the entire quarter. In addition to the scoring in the first quarter, Knicks star Alan Houston "scored" 4 points and 1 rebound in the half, with a shooting percentage of "as high as" 10%! During the halftime break, Billups was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He was naturally the happiest person for Houston's fate "I asked you to provoke me, and you will be punished now, right? You deserve it!" Wang Dalin was also very happy, but he knew that he could not completely relax yet. Houston's explosive scoring power is not weak. He has scored 50+ points in a single game twice in his career, and has scored 30+ points in a single game as many as 63 times. If you don¡¯t defend well, once he gets the ball rolling, scoring 16 points in the half won¡¯t be a big deal. Carlisle was very satisfied with Wang Dalin's performance against Houston in this game. Originally, he was going to let Hamilton rely on his strong physical advantage to bring down Houston. Unexpectedly, Wang Dalin actually took care of him in an understatement. This kind of defensive effect is comparable to Hamilton is much better. And Ben completely restricted Camby in the paint. Camby made only 2 of 7 shots in the first half, only scored 6 points including free throws, and only grabbed 3 rebounds. "Compared to his performance of 11.5 rebounds per game last season, Camby's hips are undoubtedly stretched tonight. After the start of the second half, Wang Dalin began to attack the inside frequently. His movement speed was indeed not as fast as Houston's, but his physical advantage was still obvious. Regardless of height or strength, Houston was obviously at a disadvantage. And Houston also wants to beat Wang Dalin through breakthroughs, but Wang Dalin's defensive position has always been relatively deep. If you want to shoot, there is still some space, but if you want to break through that is pure fantasy. At present, Wang Dalin's inside defense can only be considered average, but his outside defense is not weak. Coupled with his size advantage and movement speed, Wang Dalin is equivalent to a weakened version of Garnett. Most small forwards in the league are against He would get a headache if he went to bed. As the game time passes, the situation of the Knicks becomes more and more serious (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 138 CCTV interview (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The game reached the fourth quarter, and the Knicks were in a very serious situation. Sprewell, Jackson and Camby played very hard and once achieved good results, chasing the point difference to only 6 points. However, Wang Dalin, Hamilton and Billups continued to play exquisite cooperation, and in the third quarter At the end, the score difference was widened to 15 points again. If Houston can regain its touch in the third quarter, it will be able to complement its teammates, and the Knicks will not be in such a passive situation. But he just couldn¡¯t find the touch in this game Maybe it was because Wang Dalin put too much defensive pressure on him, maybe his own mentality had collapsed. The score was 15 points ahead, but the Knicks did not disarm, so Carlisle still sent out all its main players in the fourth quarter. After another 5 minutes of play, as Wang Dalin assisted Billups and hit another three-pointer, the Pistons were already leading by 22 points. Jeff Van Gundy finally called a timeout and replaced all the main players. The opponent had surrendered, and Carlisle also replaced Wang Dalin and others, and sent in a bunch of bench players. Even Gates Joseph and Damon Jones, who had never appeared in the regular season this season, Entered the field. Gates¡¯ current weight is 144kg, which is a lot lighter than when he first reported to the team in late September, but he has not yet reached Carlisle¡¯s requirements for him. Based on his playing style and physical condition, Carlisle required him to reduce his weight to 140kg. This weight can maximize his low-post threat and allow him to move as fast as possible. O'Neal's weight this season has been approaching 150kg, which makes him more powerful in the low post, but also puts more pressure on his knees, ankles and toesespecially the toes. O'Neal's toes have always been injured. . So so far this season, O'Neal is averaging only 24.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.7 blocks per game. This data is stronger than most post players in the league, but compared with his performance of 28.7 points, 12.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.8 blocks last season, there is still a big gap. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and the momentum of Kobe Bryant, the second in charge of the Lakers, is getting stronger and stronger this season. Many people in the outside world already think that Kobe is the boss of this team, which makes O'Neal very unhappy. ¡­¡­ Back to the game, the Pistons naturally won the game without any blood. The final score was 100:83. While winning their fifth consecutive victory, they also ended the Knicks' winning streak. After losing the ninth game of the season, New York fans' calls to "let Van Gundy go away" became even louder. Wang Dalin knew that this guy should leave New York soon. After completing the "Tit for Tat" mission, Wang Dalin's upper limit of mid-range shooting ability naturally increased to 99. In this game, he not only allowed Houston to score only 14 points, but he also spouted 35 grade-A trash words in front of this guy. Wang Dalin found it very enjoyable In fact, trash talking is really addictive. Otherwise, how could NBA stars be so enthusiastic about it? The Pistons did not have a game on December 2nd and 3rd, and the night of the 4th was an away game against the Cavaliers, and they had to return home to face the Western Conference powerhouse SuperSonics back-to-back on the 5th, so Carlisle did not arrange team training. He felt that this In this case, the players should still be allowed to take a good rest. Compared with "Magic Calculator" Pat Riley, Wang Dalin feels that Carlisle is really much better Not only is there no "devil training", but even when the schedule is intensive, the team will have less regular training. Wang Dalin has not been idle these two days. In addition to filming the "Tiffany" advertisement, he was also invited to accept an exclusive interview with Zhang Weiping. This is not an exclusive interview with a magazine like "Sports Weekly", but an exclusive interview with CCTV Sports Channel, the leader of domestic sports media, so Wang Dalin pays special attention to this and even asked Zhang Weiping for advice. After all, some words are very popular in China. It¡¯s not allowed to be broadcast Actually everyone knows it! Zhang Weiping had a good impression of this young and outspoken young man, so he told him not to worry too much, just say whatever you want, and just do whatever you want. Anyway, it can be edited later. At the beginning of the exclusive interview, the two first greeted the domestic fans through the camera lens, and then immediately began to ask and answer ¡°Dalin, what is your team¡¯s goal this season?¡± "We have already said this after the opening game. The Pistons have only one goal this season, and that is the championship!" "It seems that you are very confident, Dalin! So what are your personal goals for this season?" "The first thing is to be selected into the All-Star lineup. Currently??Basically useless. My suggestion is that you must practice your basic skills well, whether it is dribbling, passing or shooting. Only by practicing solid basic skills can you truly improve your strength! " "What Dalin said is reasonable, and I hope domestic fans and friends can listen to it. Well, our exclusive interview has come to an end today. Let's say goodbye to the audience and friends in front of the TV together!" ¡°Dear viewers in front of the TV, see you next time!¡± Overall, the atmosphere of this exclusive interview was very good, and the two of them had a very happy chat. After the interview, Wang Dalin treated Zhang Weiping to a big meal as usual and even drove them to the airport. It is undoubtedly very lonely for a person to play in the United States, so every time he meets his compatriots in China, he will be in a good mood and take special care of them. ¡­¡­ On December 4, the Pistons challenged the Cavaliers away from home. Before the game, everyone felt that tonight's game was completely in hand, because the Cavaliers had 6 wins and 11 losses before, and were almost the bottom team in the Eastern Conference. As the current No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference, the Pistons really have no reason to lose to such a team. Outside media generally believe that the outcome of this game is without any suspense. But that¡¯s how the NBA is. When you think you¡¯re sure of victory, reality often gives you a slap in the face. That¡¯s what this game is like. When the game ended, Wang Dalin looked up at the scoreboard on the big screen in stunned silence, with the word "unbelievable" written all over his face. ?? 88:104, the Pistons lost by a huge score, and the loss was simply too ugly (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 139 The Western Powerhouse (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The reason why the Pistons lost to the Cavaliers was firstly because they performed too poorly, and secondly because the Cavaliers really played well in this game. This team doesn¡¯t even have an All-Star. The biggest stars on the team are Andre Miller and ¡°Big Z¡± Zajunas Ilgauskas. "If we put these two players in two or three years, they will still be barely considered quasi-All-Stars, but this season Miller is in his third year, and "Big Z" is only in his fourth year in the league. Young Miller was "forced" to become the boss of this team this season, and his numbers were pretty good, but the team's record has been poor. If there were no super losers like the Bulls in the Eastern Conference, it would probably be the Cavaliers' turn to be at the bottom. In this game, Miller made 12 of 16 shots and 10 of 11 free throws. He actually scored 34 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, a "big triple-double". Five members of the Cavaliers scored in double figures, and the Pistons scored in double figures. The team did not lose unjustly. The Pistons' starting players in this game all had a solid touch. Robinson made 5 of 14 shots, Billups made 6 of 14 shots, Wang Dalin made 7 of 19 shots, and even Hamilton, who has always been the most stable, only made 5 of 13 shots We can still win unless the sun comes out from the west. After the loss, the Pistons players had no time to feel sad and flew back to Detroit overnight. They will face the Seattle SuperSonics at home on the night of December 5th. In Wang Dalin's impression, the SuperSonics had always been a strong team in the Western Conference from the early 1990s until Gary Payton left. Reaching the playoffs was all a matter of basic operations. They even reached the NBA Finals once. In the finalsof course, the "old gangster" led the Bulls to take care of them. He was a little surprised at the Sonics' performance this season. It wasn't that they performed too well, but that they performed too poorly They actually had a terrible record of 9 wins and 11 losses in the past. Can you believe it? Take a look at the Knicks. Their current record is 11 wins and 9 losses. Head coach Jeff Van Gundy has already voluntarily resigned I guess everyone knows that he didn't really do it because he "wanted to spend more time with his family." I can't stand New York fans always shouting "Van Gundy get out" in the home arena! With a record of 9 wins and 11 losses, they may not even be ranked in the top eight in the Eastern Conference. It is conceivable that in the Western Conference, which is even better, they are now ranked 11th in the Western Conferenceas they should be! Wang Dalin was a little confused. In his impression, the SuperSonics team should be very powerful. How could they play so poorly? Team boss Gary Payton is just 31 years old and at his peak. He averages 21.9 points, 4 rebounds, 9.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game. As a point guard, his 44.8% field goal percentage is also very good. , the problem naturally does not lie with him. Although the team's main power forward Vin Baker likes to drink and has a chronic IQ deficit, his performance on the court is still good. He has played 13 games so far this season, averaging 18 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.8 blocks per game. . Rashad Lewis, the team's third scorer, is also performing very well this season. He averages 15.9 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.3 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 41.8% It seems that the offensive efficiency is a bit low. However, his three-point shooting percentage is 35.7%, which is very good in this era. The team's current No. 4 player is Brent Barry, who is also the younger brother of Jon Barry of the Pistons. So far this season, he has averaged 13.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game, performing well on both offense and defense. Not vulgar. The fifth man is Draymond Mason on the bench. As the team's sixth man, this rookie in the same class as Wang Dalin has averaged 13.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.7 steals per game so far this season. If If he continues to perform like this, he may even be able to compete for the "Best Sixth Man" this season. So Wang Dalin really doesn¡¯t understand. With five players averaging double figures, why does the Sonics still perform so poorly? Is it just because the Western Conference teams are too strong? At the pre-game press conference, SuperSonics head coach Nate McMillan said in a low-key manner that the Pistons are a very strong team and tonight's game will be very difficult. However, they will still go all out to win this away game. Carlisle also behaved very low-key in front of reporters. He said that the SuperSonics are a very competitive team in the Western Conference. They are very strong and their current record is only temporarily poor. He also said that it will be very difficult for the Pistons to defeat the Sonics tonight, but the team's coaching staff and players will go all out to win this game. The two behaved surprisingly identically in front of reporters. In fact, it was just business bragging plus a game of football.The "second brother" was destined to fail from the beginning of this game. Unless he met the old Payton two or three years later, he could bully him. Nowhe is the only one who is bullied! Looking back, Payton once again played a pick-and-roll match with Vin Baker, but this time he did not pass the ball to Vin Baker who was passing down. Instead, he quickly got to the basket and completed the layup before Ben came to help defend. basket. Wang Dalin felt that this scene looked very familiar, and he thought about it for a while without thinking about it. It was not until he attacked again that he remembered Isn't this "Guide Long"? I have to say that Payton's shot just now was too much like the later Rajon Rondo. He was also fast, had a long wingspan, and finished well under the basket. If we have to say there is any difference between the two, it is probably that Payton's shooting ability is better than that of "Guide Long" Although his mid-to-long-range shooting is not very accurate, compared with the level of "Guide Long", Still much more accurate. Looking back, Wang Dalin also set a pick-and-roll for Billups. After receiving the ball with the ball, he saw that it was Payton in front of him. He couldn't help but smile: "Gary, how dare you change positions to defend?" I?" Payton smiled and said: "Wang, the person in front of you is the best defensive player in the NBA, you better be careful!" Wang Dalin smiled slightly and immediately pulled out, and Payton immediately pounced on him. With his height, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to block Wang Dalin, but his long arms can actually reach Wang Dalin's chin The "bordering the eye with a leaf" trick is indeed not something only Sean Battier can do, but After all, Payton is still a bit short. When Wang Dalin jumped up, it was difficult for him to close his eyes. "Whoops!" Wang Dalin was not greatly affected by this level of interference. Who let him get high? If Payton had grown 10cm taller, he might have been able to defend this shot. "Haha, Gary, you are too short. I can only humiliate myself by switching positions to defend!" Wang Dalin made up for it at the right time Since he spat a lot of rubbish against Houston last time, he really likes this. A feeling. Payton is not angry either. As a master of trash talk, he knows that trash talk must be combined with on-court performance to achieve maximum power. Now is not a good time to talk back. Looking back, Payton and Lewis played wonderful cooperation. After the pick-and-roll, Lewis shot out to the right wing. Wang Dalin was blocked by Payton with his body and did not have time to interfere. Lewis made the shot. "Haha, Wang, it's not a skill to only attack by yourself. If you have the guts, can you pass one to your teammates, just like me?" After returning the trash talk, Payton turned and left coolly. There¡¯s no way, it¡¯s just like this sometimes. When you get slapped in the face within 20 seconds of being proud, it feels really bad. Wang Dalin was also extremely unhappy and vowed to pass another pass to Hamilton in the next attack. Although he was indeed aroused by Payton's trash talk, Wang Dalin did not lose his mind. He originally planned to pass the ball to Hamilton. The game had only lasted less than 5 minutes, and Brent Barry had already begun to breathe heavily. Every time he returned to the defensive end, he could only chase Hamilton with all his strength. It was strange that he was so exhausted that he was not tired! With such an efficient pitcher, Carlisle has already designed several cover and run tactics for Hamilton. With the cover of Robinson, Big Ben and others, he can often run out of space in the game. "Billups and Wang Dalin are both very good at passing the ball. As long as he runs out of space, the ball will be delivered to him nine times out of ten. All he has to do is shoot. Speaking of shooting, Hamilton's mid-range shot is more accurate than Wang Dalin's. How difficult is this kind of open mid-range shot? "Whoops!" Hamilton received a pass from Wang Dalin and made a hit, then turned around and ran towards his own half The "emotionless killer" is so unrestrained and uninhibited, and immediately escaped thousands of miles away with one hit! McMillan finally couldn't help but call a timeout. Brent Barry was indeed very tired and had to be allowed to slow down a bit. Carlisle also made personnel adjustments. He replaced Williams in advance and replaced Robinson. Brent Barry's consumption is great, and Robinson's consumption is not small either. After all, they are playing back-to-back games, and Robinson is 35 years old. He is already breathing heavily (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 140 A tragic victory (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After the timeout, the game continues. Payton of the SuperSonics team began to strengthen his personal offense. It was obvious that head coach McMillan had made new tactical arrangements, and he probably felt that it was too dangerous to continue playing like this. Firstly, Wang Dalin on the Pistons side has obviously not exerted his strength yet, and secondly, Hamilton's explosive scoring power is also quite terrifying. Once these two points start to exert their power, it will be difficult for the SuperSonics to resist. It¡¯s not easy to win the Pistons on defense, so just let the stars play alone At least, Payton has an absolute advantage against Billups! In fact, the tactics of NBA teams are not as complicated as everyone thinks. Especially in this era, many times the head coach will arrange for the stars to play in singles Star singles are also a tactic, and it is a tactic often used by the head coaches of NBA teams. Billups immediately suffered a strong impact from Payton. His body was stronger than Payton, but he had no advantage in speed or height. Coupled with the gap in experience, he could not stop this super point guard at all. Although the outside world generally believes that Jason Kidd is currently the number one point guard in the league, everyone knows that Payton's strength is not slightly worse than Kidd, especially in terms of personal offensive ability, he is still above Kidd. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to average as many as 21 points per game when his assists per game are basically the same as Kidd. As I said before, in this era, anyone who averages more than 20 points per game can be called a super scorer, and Payton is one of them! Payton succeeded in attacking three times in a row, not only severely trampling Billups' self-confidence, but also sprayed him with several waves of trash talk. The "second brother" was beaten to the point of being almost autistic. "Chauncy, if you think you can't fight me, why not let your third brother try!" Payton smiled at Billups after scoring the third offense, "Obviously you are not strong enough. If you match me, your third brother is about the same!" Billups wanted to talk back but felt he had no confidence. Wang Dalin held his shoulders and said: "Second brother, there is no need to vent your anger on this guy. Let's fight as we want. Don't mess up the situation!" Billups nodded. As the team's starting point guard, he is equivalent to the team's brain. Of course he knows that he cannot mess up at this time. But on the offensive end, it's okay. On the defensive end, he really can't stop Payton's personal offense. If this situation can't be changed, this game will be difficult. Wang Dalin and Hamilton continued their offensive firepower. Whenever Payton broke through Billups and scored a goal, they could always counterattack immediately. The score between the two sides was always very anxious, and no one could widen the point difference. Although Billups can't stop Payton's breakthrough, every time he defends Payton, he will put in more effort than the last time. Payton's breakthrough has become more and more difficult. Fortunately, for the Pistons, Hamilton had to come over to help defend from time to time. With Payton's passing skills, Brent Barry naturally got many opportunities. This shooting guard has a very strong shooting ability, especially three-pointers. His three-point shooting percentage has remained above 40% for two consecutive seasons, and was even as high as 47.6% last season. What kind of terrifying three-point ability is this? As a super shooter who has maintained a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40% in his career, Brent Barry can be said to be a very rare high-quality 3D player in this era. The main reason why he cannot guard Hamilton is because his opponent is too capable. Running is not his defense. Since Payton has targeted Billups and frequently played high-quality offense, Wang Dalin has also started a large number of singles with the ball in tit-for-tat, and it will only take him a matter of minutes to bully Lewis. The first quarter of the game ended quickly. At the beginning of the second quarter, the head coaches of both teams sent out their ace players from the bench. Naturally, it was Coris Williams for the Pistons, and Drummond for the SuperSonics. Mason. The offensive power of these two players was almost the same, and the two quickly entered a state of confrontation. The home fans of the "Palace of Auburn Hills" were delighted to find that the scene in the transition period was even more exciting than when the starters were on the field. In the last four minutes of the first quarter and about five minutes after the start of the second quarter, Williams scored 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting, and Mason was not to be outdone, scoring 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting. It's a pity that Atkins is absent due to injury on the Pistons' side. Players such as Jon Barry and Damon Jones are indeed a little weaker at this stage, so the Pistons, who should have had a clear advantage at this stage, did not pull away. With the difference in points, the competition between the second lineups of both sides was still evenly matched. In the second half of the second quarter, the starting players of both sides appeared again. Robinson had returned to the locker room for treatment due to discomfort in his right shoulder. Wang Dalin came toIt's really a bit scary. Wang Dalin naturally does not play like a traditional center. Even if he plays at the fifth position, he appears more in the high post to provide support. This style of play is very similar to Verrati Divac in the Kings. The Kings are currently killing everyone in the Western Conference. They have an excellent record of 14 wins and 5 losses, and averaged 101.3 points, 47.1 rebounds, 22.5 assists, and a field goal percentage of 45.2%. Although everyone knows that the boss of the Kings is Webber, without Divac's high-level support, Adelman's "Princeton" tactics would never be implemented to such a perfect level. As a senior fan, Wang Dalin knows very well that Webb actually plays the role of terminator more often. The real offensive core of the Kings is Divac. At present, what he has to play is the role of "Divac of the Pistons". As long as he can provide high-level support, with the offensive firepower of the Pistons' lineup, it will be difficult to find a team in the league that can resist it. live. ??????? High-level support Isn¡¯t this what Wang Dalin has always been best at? As early as last season, he often played high-post support when he was with the Heat. At that time, the teammates around him were not as offensive as his current teammates. So McMillan was surprised to find that after the Pistons lost two strong inside players in Robinson and Big Ben, they instead exploded with more powerful offensive firepower. Unlike the star singles in the first half of the game, when Wang Dalin came to the high post to provide support, several other Pistons players actively moved around, and they always got very good shooting opportunities. Wen Baker was very depressed. He wanted to beat Wang Dalin in the paint, but Wang Dalin basically couldn't move around the basket. This made him feel like punching into cotton He was completely powerless and had nothing to do! Payton has always had an absolute advantage against Billups, but when Billups kept running, even he couldn't maintain this advantage. It is true that the Pistons' defense has dropped by more than one level, and the Sonics' offense has also been relatively smooth, but the Pistons' offensive firepower is even better. When the Pistons and SuperSonics started competing to see who had higher offensive efficiency, the game had actually been decided in advance, and the Sonics ended up losing 91:95. Of course, without Ben, the inside pillar, the Pistons' game will undoubtedly be a miserable victory.

After the game on December 5, Carlisle has been a little absent-minded, even when attending the post-game press conference. Twice, reporters asked him questions and he seemed not to hear them. It was not until the press officer reminded him that he suddenly came to his senses and answered the questions. Wang Dalin always had a serious expression at the press conference. He was always thinking about Ben's injury. In this game, Wang Dalin scored a triple-double of 27 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. While his outstanding performance also made Payton's 22 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists completely useless. After the game, the Pistons general went to the hospital to visit Ben who was lying in the hospital bed. He had already undergone an MRI examination, but the test results would not be available until tomorrow morning. Wang Dalin saw that his ankle was red and swollen. He estimated that Ben's ankle injury might be serious. If it reaches a grade three sprain, it means that Ben will be out for at least two weeks, and maybe longer. As expected by Wang Dalin, the MRI results came out the next day. Ben¡¯s right ankle joint was a grade three sprain. Although no bones were injured, he would need to rest for at least two to three weeks. As for whether he can resume training immediately after two or three weeks, it depends on his recovery. Ben¡¯s expression was obviously a little frustrated, not that he was considering whether the injury would affect his contract. After all, he signed a four-year, $19.4 million contract with the Pistons, and it is only the second year. It is a pity that he cannot continue to fight with his teammates on the court, and now that the Pistons are gaining momentum, they suddenly lack such an important fighting force. Will the team's record be affected? "Alas! My injury came at such an untimely time!" Daben said in frustration. Wang Dalin smiled while peeling an apple for him: "Brother, your injury came at just the right time! Think about it, if you get this kind of injury again in mid-April next year, how will we play in the playoffs?" Billups couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Wang Dalin say Ben was injured at the right time. He immediately smiled and said: "The third brother is right, brother, it's better for you to be injured now than to play the season soon." It¡¯s much better to be injured again in the post-match!¡± Ben was a little worried and said: "But what about the team's record? After beating the Rockets and Knicks, you will have to go through five consecutive away games, and the opponents are all Western Conference teams!" Wang Dalin pretended to smile casually and said: "What happened to the Western Conference team? Didn't we just take care of the SuperSonics yesterday?" Billups also laughed and said: "Yes, the Western Conference teams are not that good, but we are very strong!" Ben is still frowning. Obviously, he knows that this is just his brother comforting him. How can the Western Conference team be "not that good" like Billups said? Since Jordan retired in the summer of 1998, the league has entered a pattern in which the West is strong and the East is weak. The Spurs and Lakers who won the championship in the past three years are both from the West. By the time the Eastern Conference champions reached the Finals, they had become the princes studying together. Role. Take this season as an example. Although the Pistons currently rank first in the Eastern Conference, if they really want to throw all the top eight teams in the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference, it is estimated that the Pistons will have trouble even ranking in the top five. The Lakers, Kings, and Spurs currently ranked in the front in the Western Conference, no matter who the Pistons meet, they will probably lose more and win less. Even if it is the slightly weaker Mavericks, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Jazz, and SuperSonics, they will only win. It's just that he can be evenly matched with the other party. If the personal abilities of these main players in the Pistons can be further improved and the cooperation between the players becomes more tacit, they will certainly be able to become strong contenders for the championship, just like they did two years later in the original time and space. But now After all, they are a new team that has only been assembled this season. Even if they have the future champion coach Rick Carlisle, even if they have an excellent record at the beginning of the season, they are still too immature after all! If we talk about what kind of setbacks rookie coach Carlisle and young team boss Wang Dalin will encounter in the future, perhaps the next few games will be the most severe test they are about to face. After visiting Ben, Wang Dalin and Billups returned to the arena. The team will have a training session on the afternoon of December 6-8, and Carlisle will practice a new set of tactics. With the lack of big money, the Pistons will definitely not be able to play as before, and their tactics on both ends of the offense and defense must make major adjustments. This is naturally a very severe challenge for the young coach Carlisle. "In the next game, we will use run-and-gun tactics!" Carlisle announced his decision to everyone concisely. "Before Ben comes back, we must do our best.; Four consecutive losses? impossible! What we want is four consecutive victorieswell, probably more than four consecutive victories! On December 18, the Pistons challenged the Kings away from home. As of this game, the Pistons are ranked first in the Eastern Conference with a record of 16 wins and 5 losses, while the Kings are ranked third in the Western Conference with 18 wins and 7 losses, and their winning rate is second only to the Spurs and Lakers. The two sides have not played against each other this season, but the Pistons have defeated the Mavericks, ranked fourth in the Western Conference, twice this season, and also defeated the SuperSonics, a traditional team. Naturally, Adelman does not dare to underestimate them. Adelman focused on studying the video of the Pistons' last three games, and he found that the Pistons and the Kings now play very similar. Especially Wang Dalin's high-position support is exactly the same as Divac's, but their defensive tactics seem to be better. Wang Dalin has played three consecutive triple-doubles in the last four games, making him the best player in the Eastern Conference last week. On the surface, his scoring average has dropped, but his threat on the court has become greater. No matter how strong a player's offensive power is, if he cannot lead the team to victory, it is meaningless. It's like Kobe Bryant in 2006 and 2007. Although he won the scoring title for two consecutive seasons and scored 81 points in a single game and 50+ points in four consecutive games, he just couldn't lead the Lakers. Go further in the playoffs. And players like Jason Kidd, although he has never averaged more than 20 points per game in his career, he can still lead the team to achieve good results. Needless to say, he led the Nets to the Finals twice. Later, he also won a championship with the Mavericks Of course, he was no longer the team boss at that time, but his role was crucial. It can be said that even if the "veteran drivers" at the time were as unstoppable as cheating, without the steadfast needle of old Kidd, they would not be able to defeat the Heat with the "Big Three". In that series, the old Kidd averaged 7.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 0.8 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game, and his three-point shooting rate was as high as 42.9% You read that right, this three-point shooting rate was really achieved by the old Kidd. of! Wang Dalin's performance this season is very similar to Jason Kidd. The difference is that he can not only lead the team to victory with a very comprehensive performance, but also has the league's first-class offensive firepower. From this aspect, he is even better than Kidd is even scarier. Adelman secretly thought: "Perhaps, his only shortcomingis that he is too young?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 142 The league¡¯s top offensive team (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Adelman was particularly wary of Wang Dalin, but his disciples talked happily with Wang Dalin. During the warm-up before the game, the Kings' Mike Bibby, Peja Stojakovic, Chris Webber, Verrati Divac, Doug Christie and Hedo Turkoglu and others The Pistons players chatted quite happily, and the atmosphere between the two parties was very harmonious. Wang Dalin and Bibby¡¯s brother-in-law Eddie House are best friends, so Bibby naturally has a very good attitude towards Wang Dalin. He also enthusiastically introduced Weber, Peja and other big guys to Wang Dalin. Perhaps because of the similar playing styles and the fact that they are all international players, Divac and Turkoglu are particularly enthusiastic about Wang Dalin. "You're not leaving after the game tonight, are you? Come to my house after the game. Hido's Turkish barbecue is quite authentic. The brothers in our team all like it!" Divac put his arm around Wang Dalin's shoulders and smiled. . "No, we have to fly to the Bay Area early tomorrow morning!" ¡°What does tomorrow morning¡¯s events have to do with tonight?¡± "That's right. If you should take a flight tomorrow morning, go and take the flight. The worst thing is that I won't let you drink tonight, right? Well, it seems that you, a minor, can't drink in the bar in the first place?" "I have a saying mmp, I don't know whether to say it or not It really doesn't work, Coach Rick will curse!" "It's okay. When the game is over, we'll call you Richard, Clifford and your second brother. Coach Rick can't scold all of you, right?" "That's right! Don't you have an idiom in China called 'the law does not punish the public'?" "Huh? That's not a good word!" ¡­¡­ "Dear audience friends, I am very happy to meet you again on TNT. I am your old friend Kenny Smith. Sitting next to me is Charles Barkley, who is very familiar to everyone Well, I have to Charles, you are getting fatter and fatter, are you only eating donuts and Coke during this period?" "Kenny, no one will think you are mute if you don't speak Well, hello everyone, I am your old friend Charles Barkley. Nice to see you all again!" No. 1 in the East vs. No. 3 in the West. No matter how much the league's top brass doesn't like the Pistons, a heavyweight game like this is still indispensable to be broadcast live across the United States So after many days, TNT's "non-famous cross talk group" appeared again . ¡°Charles, what do you think of this game?¡± "The game between these two teams is really interesting. The two teams are very close in strength. The Kings have maintained the league's No. 1 offensive firepower since last season, but I am still more optimistic about the Pistons Yes, I think the Pistons will win. Let¡¯s play this game!¡± "But the Pistons have lost Ben, and their inside line can't be compared with the Kings at all, can it?" "So what? Did they lose? As far as I know, they still won four consecutive games after losing Ben!" "What you said makes sense, but I still think the Kings have a better chance of winning. They have the best power forward Chris in the league, and the best small forward Peja. Verratti is also the best passer in the league. Big center!¡± "Really? But now Darling King is also playing center. He averages more assists per game than Verratti, right? And who told you that Chris is the best power forward in the league? You compare Tim and Kevin Have you forgotten all about it?¡± "I said oneone of the best, is that correct?" "Okay I'm too lazy to argue with you. If you have the guts, I'll bet. I'll bet on the Pistons, and you bet on the Kings. Do you dare?" "What about the bet? You won both of my championship rings, so what should I bet with you?" "Hahaha Who made the 'Great Sir Charles' generous? This time I will allow you to bet with the jersey you wore when we won the championship in 1995, how about it?" "Really?Well, what's your bet? It won't be the jersey you wore when you were with the Suns, right?" "Who said it was that one? Of course my bet is the ring you lost to me. How about the one from 1995?" "What are you thinking about? Of course I will bet with you!" "Haha, I knew you couldn't help but want to bet with me But the 'Great Sir Charles' is so generous, so what if I give you a chance to win back?" "Hmph! I will definitely win it back this time!" "Don't speak too earlyOh, the game has started, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides!" ?He has always been a representative of technical power forwards since he entered the league. Attacking under the basket is basically his last offensive option. His offense under the basket is more of a "feint attack". Once Wang Dalin and Robinson are attracted to double-team, the ball in his hand will often be passed to Divac on the other side. And outside players don¡¯t dare to come over to help defend, because Weber¡¯s passing vision is quite good. Once a first-class shooter like Peja is missed, the consequences may be more serious than Divac¡¯s layup. In addition, although Christie is not good at shooting, the Pistons can't just leave him alone, right? For a time, the Pistons' defense suddenly lost sight of one thing. Facing the league's No. 1 offensive firepower, the Pistons' "hybrid zone defense" finally encountered its most severe test. At 6 minutes and 37 seconds into the first quarter, Carlisle finally called the first timeout of the game. "Listen to me, everyone is doing a good job in defense inside. Keep guarding against Chris. Occasionally missing Verratti once or twice is not important! Also, Richard and Chauncey must pay attention to help defense at all times. We only need to guard against Chris on the outside. Just keep an eye on Peja, Mike and Doug¡¯s shooting ability is very poor, even if you let them shoot, it¡¯s not a big deal!¡± Carlisle saw clearly that instead of evenly distributing defensive attention to each opponent's players, it would be better to focus on Webber and Peja, who are the opponents' most efficient offensive players. As for Bibby, Christie and Divac, if the three of them really could beat the Pistons to death, the Kings wouldn't be ranked third in the Western Conference now. And since we are playing zone defense, we must make choices. No matter what kind of zone defense it is, in the final analysis it is to prevent the opponent from easily breaking through, rather than to restrict the opponent's mid- and long-range shots. After some earnest teachings from Carlisle, the Pistons' starting five returned to the court, and this time their defensive effect was much better. To be fair, Wang Dalin feels that the defense of the current Pistons team is not bad. If Ben is still recovering from injury, it will be even sharper Of course, it may not be as good as the Pistons team that won the championship in 2004. There is a huge gap, but their offense is much better than the Pistons team that won the championship. Carlisle may not be as good as Larry Brown in coaching defense, but his tactical approach of balancing offense and defense is the most correct Since the early 1990s, in addition to the 2004 Pistons, there have been Which team won a championship relying solely on defense? "A person who walks on only one leg is ultimately a lame No matter how strong and strong the leg is, it cannot walk as fast as a person with both legs equally sound!" "The Kings, under Adelman's careful training, have obviously gone to the other extreme. They have the most powerful offensive firepower in the league But is this enough? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 143 Run and Gun VS Princeton (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Both sides mobilized their troops at the same time to enter the transition period of the first half. The Kings obviously have a better bench depth. Hedo Turkoglu and Bobby Jackson are both good bench gangsters, and they even have high-quality substitutes like Gerald Wallace and Martin Cliffs. Due to Ben's absence, the Pistons' Corris Williams, who has the strongest offensive firepower on the bench, has been mentioned as the starter. Fortunately, Atkins has returned from injury, and the second team finally has a leader. Mickey Moore, Joan Barry and Michael Curry also appeared one after another. They are all the main rotation players of the Pistons this season. Wang Dalin, Hamilton and Billups obviously play more minutes than other starting players. First, they have better physical fitness. Second, it is also because the three of them have the strongest offensive firepower. Since the stamina value was increased to 90, Wang Dalin has never been out of stamina. Unless he has to go to the basket and fight with the opponent's muscles throughout the game, his physical fitness is definitely enough. More than four minutes into the second quarter, the starting players of both sides returned to the court again. The score had reached 38:44, with the Kings leading by 6 points. The score between the two sides was tight before all the starting players came off the field. The second team fell behind by 6 points after just a few minutes of playing. It was obvious that the Kings bench performed better. Atkins is undoubtedly slightly inferior to Bitkoglu in sorting out the team's offense. This forward from Turkey is a rookie in the same class as Wang Dalin. His performance last season was only so-so, but he has made great progress this season. progress. So far this season, Turkoglu has averaged 25 minutes per game, 11.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.8 steals, shooting 45.3% from the field and 41.7% from three-point range. If the name is hidden, many people will probably think that this is Wang Dalin¡¯s data before the All-Star Game last season. As a time traveler, Wang Dalin naturally knows how powerful this guy is. After joining the Magic, he played the most brilliant performance of his career, and his substantial contribution to the team was as much as that of most All-Star players. Turkoglu¡¯s performance is undoubtedly even better under fiba rules. In 2001, he won the European Championship runner-up with the Turkish men¡¯s basketball team. In 2010, he led the Turkish men¡¯s basketball team to win the runner-up at the World Championship. If the U.S. men¡¯s basketball team didn¡¯t have the ¡°fiba killer¡± Kevin Durant, they probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to win the Turkish team. You know, in that final, Durant's various jump shots completely ignored the defense. He hit a total of 7 three-pointers in the game and scored 28 points in an understatement! The Pistons were temporarily behind in the score. In the second half of the second quarter, Wang Dalin began to strengthen his personal offense. The Kings players immediately had a headache Isn't this just ignoring defense? Whether it's Divac, Weber or Peja, they all have nothing to do with Wang Dalin's shooting style. As long as you don't press closely, he can immediately complete the pull-up jumper Even if he is lucky, the ball is not there. Come in and it will scare you into a cold sweat! Facts have proved that Wang Dalin¡¯s pull-up jump shot shooting percentage is quite impressive, basically around 50%. The boss of the Pistons began to show off his power. Webber, the boss of the Kings, could not turn a blind eye. He also began to strengthen his personal offense. For a time, the entire three-point line was his range of activities. In terms of shooting range, Wang Dalin is definitely better than Weber, but in terms of offensive efficiency, Weber is not necessarily inferior to Wang Dalin. Since entering the league in 1993, Webber's true shooting percentage has remained above 55% and even above 60% for many years. In the first few seasons, this excellent power forward was quite inaccurate in free throw shooting. Even in the 1998-1999 season, his free throw shooting percentage was only 45.4%, which was worse than O'Neal that season. But in the past two seasons, his free throw shooting has been very good, and his shooting percentage has remained above 70%. Don¡¯t think that a free throw shooting rate of about 70% is not good. It is already very good among big men in this era Duncan¡¯s free throw shooting rate last season was only 61.8%! If Weber was just fighting alone, the Pistons' reliance on "hybrid zone defense" would be worthwhile. However, this guy often uses his own feints to attract defensive attention, and then passes the ball to teammates in better positions, which leaves the Pistons a little helpless. . Even if Bibby and Christie have poor shooting ability, even if Divac's mid-range shooting percentage is less than 40%, once Peja catches the opportunity, his three-pointer can really be called "killing without blood"! After all, Williams is not good at defense. He always makes mistakes when guarding Peja.Take this opportunity to calm down Of course, I still hope that the Pistons players' hands will feel a little cooler as a result. ¡°In complete contrast to the silence on the Kings¡¯ bench, the Pistons¡¯ bench was full of jubilation, and the players all looked extremely excited¡­ This wave of offensive frenzy just now was so enjoyable, all three-pointers, can you believe it? ?Obviously, this wave of three-point craze not only shocked the Kings, but also the Pistons' own playersIn this era, this style of play is too advanced and too alternative! Wang Dalin didn't think there was anything strange. There was more than one team that played like this in later generations. Even if we don't mention the Rockets led by the "bearded second generation", the Trail Blazers led by "Guide Lee" often also Beat like this. It¡¯s still the same sentence - as long as you are accurate enough, why not shoot all three-pointers? The key point of this sentence is not "three points", but "accurate enough"! In the first half of the third quarter, the Pistons made 7 of 15 shots from beyond the three-point line. Of course, it was terrifyingly accurate, but after the timeout, their three-pointers were not very good. ¡°Maybe it was Adelman¡¯s timeout that interrupted their rhythm, maybe it was because they were too accurate in the first half of the third quarter and exhausted their character In short, they suddenly weren¡¯t accurate! There¡¯s nothing you can do about it, just like the Rockets and Trail Blazers who relied entirely on three-point shooting in later generations. They often failed in the playoffs. Isn¡¯t it because the three-point touch suddenly disappeared? As the saying goes, "The way of heaven is good for reincarnation, no one will be spared by heaven"! When your shot is accurate, you can kill people and kill Buddhas, but when you are not accurate anyone can teach you how to be a good person! The Pistons' outside shots were suddenly inaccurate, and the Kings took the opportunity to hit a 16:8 climax During this difficult time, the Pistons could only rely on Wang Dalin's personal offense to support themselves. Wang Dalin was also helpless. Carlisle and he were a bit too naive to want to copy the playing style of the later small ball era. The reason why no team shot a large number of three-pointers so unscrupulously during this period was not because they didn't understand. Three-pointers are more efficient, but they really don't have this ability! As mentioned before, the key to three-point tactics is "accurate enough", and the current players in the league are indeed not accurate enough Yes, their three-point shooting percentage is good, but in this era, we do not just look at the three-point shooting percentage. It can directly extend your thinking! To put it in more straightforward terms when you average 4 three-pointers per game, you may be able to make 2, but when you increase the number of shots to 8, you may not be able to make 4. Got it! So when the fourth quarter started, the Pistons were 6 points behind 83:89, and the situation in the last quarter was obviously getting more serious (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 144 The same starting line (the first update today, a 6,000-word chapter) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The Pistons' away game against the Kings came to the most critical fourth quarter. The two sides battled 83:89 in the first three quarters, and the Kings temporarily led by 6 points. The fans in Sacramento are undoubtedly happy. They have enjoyed the mercury-like offensive frenzy of the home team many times this season. The fans in Sacramento are undoubtedly in pain. The three-point frenzy played by the Pistons in the first half of the third quarter tonight made them have to endure it for the time being That wave of three-point rain was really terrible! Of course, as the Pistons players quickly became cold in the second half of the third quarter, the fans in Sacramento regained their sense of happiness Just a few minutes ago, they even thought the Kings were about to lose! Wang Dalin only rested for about 7 minutes in the first three quarters of this game, and has been on the court for more than 29 minutes now. Looking at this situation, he probably won¡¯t have much chance to rest in the fourth quarter. Although he did not consume much physical energy on the defensive end, due to the sudden misalignment of his teammates in the second half of the third quarter, Wang Dalin shouldered almost all the offensive burden. So even if his physical strength is as high as 90, he will still face a huge consumption. When the whistle sounded, the players stood up one after another. Before taking the field, Carlisle asked him softly: "King, can you persist?" Wang Dalin said without looking back: "No problem!" Now his teammates have lost their shooting touch. If he can't bite the bullet, the game will be ruined soon! "What should we do?" Wang Dalin showed an anxious expression on his face, "I can't stand it alone no matter what I do I didn't cheat in this game!" As the saying goes, "A single thread cannot make a thread, and a single tree cannot make a forest." Another saying is, "How many nails can be driven from a body made of iron?" If Jordan didn¡¯t have Pippen and Rodman around him, could he win his second three consecutive championships? If O'Neal doesn't have Kobe by his side, can he lead the Lakers to create the only dynasty so far in the 21st century? If James had not always teamed up with All-Star teammates, would he have been able to win a championship in this life? Well, it¡¯s really possible that you won¡¯t get any! Don't think that superstars who lead a single-core team to win the championship don't need the help of their teammates. Even Duncan in 2003, Wade in 2006 or the "veteran driver" in 2011, if they don't have strong teammates around them, they don't need the help of their teammates. Maybe you can overcome all obstacles and win the championship! "Daishuai Zhang"'s 100 points in a single game and "Black Mamba"'s 81 points in a single game are just examples. Any player who can encounter this once in his life can already burn incense and thank his eight generations of ancestors! The possibility of defeating a team by himself, and a strong team at that, is infinitely close to zero So Wang Dalin wants to defeat the Kings alone. It's quite easy in the 2k game, but in reality, it's just a daydream! After getting on the court, Wang Dalin¡¯s first thought was not how to play a high-quality offense, but how to restore the feel of his teammates. "Richard, wait a minute, you still follow your usual running habits, regardless of whether it's a three-pointer or not, just shoot two mid-range shots!" "Second brother, please cooperate with me in the pick-and-roll later. Don't be soft when opportunities arise. Don't be afraid if you can't make a shot. I will try my best to grab the board!" "Corliss, remember your most accurate position later, and I will definitely pass it to you when I have the opportunity. Don't hesitate, just vote boldly!" "Cliffordyou, an old football ruffian, are much more experienced than me!" ¡­¡­ Wang Dalin spoke quickly, giving instructions to his teammates one after another before the referee blew the whistle to start the fourth quarter. Fortunately, everyone always walks slowly before the start of each quarter of a basketball game. If they were like some "996" companies that pay every minute to employees who are late in the morning, the referee would probably have given him a t. The game continued. Due to a jump ball, the first attack of the fourth quarter belonged to the Pistons. Billups dribbled to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Wang Dalin He had hit the iron three times in the second half of the third quarter and really had no confidence to attack. Wang Dalin was speechless. This "second brother" had completely forgotten what he had just told him What about the pick-and-roll? What does it mean when you pass the ball to me and run to the other side to take position? "It seems that I can only hit one first!" Wang Dalin made up his mind and began to observe the defensive position of the Kings. Webb and Divac have changed their defensive positions and are currently on the outside.His ability value is as high as 90. Even with some interference, his three-point shooting rate can reach about 45%. Coupled with the incredible effect of "Maddie Dry Pull" that reduces interference by 10%, his hit rate can be even higher. Of course, Weber tried his best to interfere, but Wang Dalin moved one step faster, and his interference did not produce much effect at all. "No way?" Weber was unable to stop Wang Dalin from throwing the ball in his hand. After landing, he quickly turned around and looked If the ball had been scored, the Pistons would have tied the score! "Whoops!" When the basketball passes through the basket quickly and the net rises like water, the sound is always so sweet! Adelman finally called a timeout. He really couldn't sit still. Wang Dalin walked to the bench on the sidelines, raised his right hand high, made a "three" gesture, and then clenched his fist. The Pistons players immediately rushed over and surrounded him. Billups picked him up excitedly and shouted: "It's in It's in We're tied!" ¡­¡­ In the live broadcast room of TNT TV station, Barkley was even more excited than the Pistons players. He stood up happily and performed a twerking dance. While dancing, he laughed loudly: "Kenny, you are going to lose, Da." Ling-Wang is the king of 'Arco Arena' tonight!" Smith glanced at him contemptuously and said: "Can you please calm down, guy? The Pistons just tied the score. There are more than 9 minutes left in the game. Why am I so sure to lose?" Smith is right. Even if the Pistons players celebrate Wang Dalin's score-tying three-pointer, they are just standing on the same starting line with the Kings again. The game is not over yet! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 145: Unfortunately Defeated (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! There are 9 minutes and 04 seconds left in the game, and the score between the two sides is 91:91. When the two teams stand on the same starting line again, the Pistons are undoubtedly the more powerful side. The basketball game is like this. When you are always in the lead, things go smoothly. But when you lead for a long time and are suddenly overtaken by your opponent, you may immediately fall into a slump, and you may even be unable to reverse the situation until the end. In the first half of the third quarter, the Pistons' three-point rain came fast and fiercely. The Kings were naturally beaten a little confused at that time, but when the Pistons felt cold in the second half of the third quarter, the Pistons players were not confused. force? Fortunately, all this is over. Now, although the Kings are not behind in score, their momentum is completely unable to compare with the Pistons. Adelman still picked up the tactical board and arranged offensive tactics for the players. He is indeed a good and conscientious coach. Unfortunately, his on-the-spot response is too poor. At this time, he should be "fed chicken soup". What's the use of talking about tactics? Carlisle's performance was much better. As a head coach, he first clapped his hands and gave all the players a big thumbs up, and then only emphasized that the defensive end must keep an eye on Weber and Peja, and the others only need to keep shooting. Just snap. Of course, Carlisle still showed his delicate side. He specifically emphasized that if the Kings replace Turkoglu, everyone must still be careful about his shooting This guy's shooting ability is not as high as Christie's! Sure enough Carlisle expected it, and Adelman replaced Turkoglu. At the most critical moment of the game, Adelman still chose Turkoglu, who has a better offense, and gave up Christie, the league's top perimeter defender After all, he is still a head coach who advocates offense! Players from both sides appeared again, and the Kings' lineup underwent some changes. Peja swung to the second position, and Turkoglu, who just came on the court, moved to his most familiar small forward position. Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly. The Kings lineupexcept for Bibby, who is less than 190cm tall, everyone else is so tall! Indeed, center Divac on the Kings side is 216cm tall, power forward Webb is 208cm tall, small forward Turkoglu is 208cm tall, and even shooting guard Peja is 206cm tall. In contrast, on the Pistons side, except for Robinson and Bee Lupus, everyone else is at a height disadvantage. The opponent has an absolute advantage in height, and the Pistons can only be forced to reduce the defensive scope. This is also a no-brainer, because once the Kings' tall players get to the basket, you can imagine how difficult it will be for them to protect the frame. The two people in the tnt live broadcast room also discovered this problem. Smith smiled and said: "Charles, the height advantage of the Kings lineup is very obvious. It seems that the Pistons will be in trouble tonight!" Barkley also frowned after seeing this, but when he heard Smith's words, he immediately smiled and said: "What's the use of being tall? When I was playing, which post player was not taller than me, weren't they all considered taller than me?" Can I take care of myself well?" "The great Sir Charles" is indeed qualified to say this. I think back then, when he played the fourth position with his height of 198cm, he was never weak when facing power forwards or centers that were more than 10cm taller than him. He grabbed a rebounding title from his own hands. And it is said that his height of 198cm has a lot of moisture. His real height may only be 193cm Charles Barkley is really terrifying! Smith said sternly: "Who said being tall is useless? Charles, don't make such a stupid mistake. You have to know that in the final analysis of basketball, tall people have an advantage You are just an example. Don¡¯t generalize!¡± Barkley smiled and said: "I'm just discussing the matter. You just saw that the Kings have an advantage in height, don't the Pistons have an advantage in speed? I don't believe that the Kings, who are over two meters tall, can run past them. These little guys from the Pistons!¡± Smith smiled and said: "Then just wait and see. When the game is over, I will ask you to return the ring on your hand to me obediently!" Not to be outdone, Barkley said: "Both and each other when the game is over, you go back and wash your jersey well. Remember to bring it to the next live broadcast!" ¡­¡­ It was the Kings' turn to attack. This time Turkoglu came to the top of the three-point arc to organize. The Turkish small forward was very good at doing this job, and Adelman naturally gave him the organizing task. Divac and Webber can both support from the high post. Their organizational skills are not even worse than Bibby, the team's real point guard, but Turkoglu's ability to control the rhythm is obviously better. Yes, Turkoglu is also a rare rhythm master in NBA history! &??Passive! " "Aren't we passive now? I feel that the initiative is not in our hands at the last moment. That is the real passivity!" ¡­¡­ The players all looked at them, with extremely nervous expressions on their faces. This is the first time that Wang Dalin and Carlisle have argued over differences of opinion. Although the tone of the two is very calm, it is not an argument at all. But everyone knows the authority of the head coach in a team. In their view, even if Wang Dalin is the star of the team, in this case, the head coach's arrangements should be carried out unconditionally. Carlisle pondered for a long time, finally put down the tactical board in his hand, showed a smile and said: "Okay, you have convinced me, let's do what you want!" The Pistons players breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Wang Dalin and Carlisle would quarrel. What would they do if such a scene happened? The timeout ended quickly and players from both sides returned to the court again. Wang Dalin winked at Billups, and the "second brother" understood it. After receiving the baseline ball, he immediately dribbled to the frontcourt at an astonishing speed. Wang Dalin¡¯s speed is not slow either. He came to the frontcourt and asked for the ball directly. After receiving the ball, he only took one step and shot from outside the three-point line. Since he wants to play quickly, Wang Dalin cannot give the ball to others to play. On this court tonight, in this Pistons team tonight, he believes that he is the one with the greatest offensive certainty. No one can hit this ball with a higher success rate than him. "Dang" It's a pity that even if his three-point ability value is as high as 90, and even if he has the skill of "Maddie Pull Up", he still failed to make the shot. "Return to defense quickly!" Wang Dalin only had time to shout, and then quickly ran towards his own half Weber took off the rebound and dribbled the ball himself to start a fast break. Peja and Turkoglu also rushed down from both sides. Fortunately, the Pistons players retreated very quickly, and the Kings' fast break failed, so they had to hand the ball to Turkoglu to organize a half-court attack. Turkoglu looked up from time to time and glanced at the timer above the backboard. He knew very well that regardless of whether the Kings scored in this attack, the Pistons would have a last chance to attack. A 2-point advantage is not safe. If the Pistons finally hit a three-pointer, the Kings will not even have a chance to play overtime. All the Kings players are running quickly and covering each other's teammates. The target of Turkoglu's pass is very clear, that is Webber. At this critical moment, of course, the ball should be handed over to the boss of the team. This is also the responsibility that the boss of every team should bear! However, Peja's shooting percentage tonight is higher than that of Webber, and the range of movement outside the three-point line is obviously much larger than inside the three-point line, so no matter how the Pistons change positions, someone will always follow Peja closely. . Wang Dalin initially thought that Turkoglu would pass the ball to Peja, who had the highest offensive efficiency tonight, so his defensive attention was always on Peja When Turkoglu passed the ball to Peja, who was using his teammates When Weber was cutting to the basket without the ball, Wang Dalin only had time to hug him from behind. "Beep" This ball is of course a foul, and the foul action is very large. If Wang Dalin did not take the initiative to protect Weber, the referee may even sentence him to a first-level flagrant foul. Carlisle couldn't help but show a hint of gloom in his eyes This game seemed hopeless! Wang Dalin was still making his last effort, and once again spat trash talk at Weber, trying to influence him, but this time Weber was not affected, and his first free throw was a solid hit. The next step was the second free throw, and Webb shouted "No" as soon as he took the shot. This shot missed. Wang Dalin struggled to catch Divac, took off the rebound, and passed the ball to Billups. There are 8 seconds left on the clock, which is enough for another attack. The Pistons players all ran very fast. Billups quickly dribbled to the frontcourt. He wanted to take advantage of his speed for a fast break, but Bibby kept pestering him, and he had no chance to make a move. At the critical moment, I had to watch Wang Dalin. I saw him rushing to the frontcourt and yelling at Billups: "Give me the ball!" Billups immediately passed the ball. Wang Dalin only had time to adjust slightly after receiving the ball. He didn't care that Weber was already close to him. He immediately took a shot when he was still about two meters away from the three-point line. As soon as he made the shot, the red light on the border of the backboard immediately lit up This was an absolute buzzer-beater. If you make a shot, you win, if you don't, you lose! ¡°Come in!¡± Wang Dalin shouted through gritted teeth. At this moment, the entire audience held their breath involuntarily, and the huge "Arco Arena" was silent for an instant. The basketball drew a high arc, and finally "Dang!" ¡­¡­(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)"Wang Dalin shouted through gritted teeth. At this moment, the entire audience held their breath involuntarily, and the huge "Arco Arena" was silent for an instant.

Wang Dalin¡¯s super long three-pointer hit the neck of the basket hard and bounced far away. The audience burst into earth-shaking cheers They cheered and screamed, and some audience members even shed tears of excitement. Wang Dalin¡¯s eyes were dim He failed to score the winning three-pointer. The responsibility lies entirely with him, and no one can blame him. Carlisle also looked sad, but at this time he still forced a smile, walked to Wang Dalin and patted his shoulder gently, saying warmly: "Okay, Wang, it's over, don't be too sad!" Billups also came over to comfort him and said, "Yes, third brother, don't be too sad, it's not your fault!" Wang Dalin lowered his head and said nothing, just silently followed them to the players' tunnel. In this game, he made 11 of 22 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored a triple-double of 31 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. His performance was already very good. Webber, the best performer on the Kings team, only scored 29 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists. In comparison, Wang Dalin's performance was obviously even better. But if you lose the game, it¡¯s useless no matter how good the data is, you can only become a bunch of losers. In the live broadcast room of TNT TV station, Smith finally felt proud: "Hey, Charles, you have nothing to say now, take off the ring and return it to me!" Buckley reluctantly took off the ring on his hand and handed it to him, still saying harshly: "Even if you win this time, don't be proud, sooner or later I will win again!" Smith took the ring and hurriedly put it on his hand. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Haha, don't brag. I promise to win the other ring back next time!" Buckley became angry and raised his hand to give him the middle finger. Smith was furious. The two quickly entered a fierce argument mode, and the director quickly cut to the commercial screen. ¡­¡­ After returning to the locker room, Wang Dalin finally said to Carlisle: "Coach Rick, I'm sorry, I was too willful! If I listen to you at the last moment, maybe we can" Carlisle interrupted him with a smile: "Wang, you don't need to apologize. At that time, I also thought your plan was better. If we can score a goal in the last two attacks, we actually have a chance to win!" Wang Dalin said sadly: "But I didn't make a single shot, it's all my fault" Carlisle smiled and said: "Wang, don't worry about this. Everyone has a critical moment and fails to score. Didn't Michael often miss a shot at the last moment of the game? There will be many games in the future, and you will definitely encounter it again. This situation will happen many times, so don't worry about whether you made a certain shot It's just an ordinary regular season. If you lose, you lose. Aren't we still No. 1 in the Eastern Conference?" Wang Dalin wanted to say something else, but Carlisle held his shoulders and said: "Look at your teammates, are you okay if you continue to be so dejected at this time? Don't forget, you are their leader!" Wang Dalin woke up suddenly, and finally there was some light in his eyes. Yes, I am the leader of this team, and I will lead my brothers to continue fighting and winning. How can I worry about the outcome of a game? Who can not lose? When Jordan led the Bulls to the best record in history, didn't they also lose 10 regular season games? What does it matter if you lose a game in the regular season? Our goalis to win the championship! "Okay, everyone, first of all I have to say sorry to everyone!" Wang Dalin smiled at everyone, "We lost tonight, but it doesn't matter. There are still many games to come, and I hope you won't lose your fighting spirit like me. You can continue to trust me at critical times! Believe me, I will definitely be able to make this kind of shot next time!" Robinson first smiled and said: "Wang, you have done a good job tonight, there is no need to blame yourself, I will definitely believe you!" Billups also smiled and said: "Yes, third brother, you scored a big triple-double tonight, which is better than Chris on the opposite side. We will all believe in you!" Hamilton said expressionlessly: "Don't worry about the missed shot tonight. Didn't you kill the Dallas people last time in Detroit?" Atkins said: "Yes, I remember you also made a buzzer-beating shot last season, so not making a shot tonight means nothing You don't have to say sorry to us, we will all believe you!" Seeing that everyone still trusted him, Wang Dalin couldn't help but his eyes turned red. Carlisle patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, go take a shower quickly, you have to attend with me later."Lost by 12 points, they were once behind by as much as 19 points in the second half of the fourth quarter. After winning against the Trail Blazers, the Pistons finally stopped their losing streak, and the whole team finally returned to normal. On December 22, at the "Key Arena" in Seattle, the Pistons and the SuperSonics played an extremely exciting battle. Gary Payton and Rashad Lewis showed a terrifying offensive desire in this game, both scoring more than 30 points. ??Among them, Payton made 13 of 24 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, and scored 34 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, and 2 steals. Lewis made 11 of 21 shots from the field, including 3 of 7 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 31 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block and 1 steal. Other Sonics players also performed well, such as Brent Barry, who hit 9 goals in only 14 shots and scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. However, the performance of the Pistons players was even better. Among them, the star Wang Dalin made 12 of 22 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 36 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. No worse than Payton in this game. In addition, Billups contributed 17 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals, Hamilton had 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Robinson had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and Williams had 14 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals Five members of the Pistons scored in double figures. In the end, they defeated the SuperSonics 124:118 and won this exciting battle. After losing in a row, they immediately ushered in a winning streak. The mentality of the Pistons players was already a little different. They obviously had the temperament of a strong team. This difficult road trip finally ended. The Pistons had 3 wins and 2 losses in these 5 games. The performance was naturally not perfect, but it was not bad either. Carlisle and Wang Dalin are still very satisfied with this result. If most Eastern teams go to the West like them, they will probably suffer a five-game losing streak. The Pistons players flew back to Detroit overnight and were finally able to lie on their familiar big bed. Wang Dalin had an especially sweet sleep. Early in the morning on December 23, another good news came from the team - Ben's injury has basically recovered, and he had started training with the ball as early as two days ago. Considering that the next game is on December 27 and there are still a few days to recover, the team doctor has determined that Ben will return in this game. On December 27, they will face the Nets, currently second in the Eastern Conference, at home. Facing such an important opponent, Ben's return is undoubtedly great news for the Pistons (Remember the website address of this site. £ºwww.hlnovel.com Chapter 147 The Kobe Bryant we chased together in those years (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The Pistons did not play a game from December 23 to the 26th. After a tough road trip, Carlisle announced on the return flight that the team would have a three-day holiday and would not focus on training until the afternoon of the 26th. With nothing to do, Wang Dalin decided to go to Los Angeles for a stroll He had been in the United States for more than a year, and he had not visited anywhere, especially the international metropolis of Los Angeles. Of course, the biggest purpose of his trip is to watch the Lakers¡¯ home game against the 76ers on the evening of December 25. Wang Dalin, a senior fan, has admired many NBA stars in his previous life, but his favorite is Kobe Bryant! Although he had already played face-to-face with Kobe last season, and the Heat even used the "shark-killing tactic" to make O'Neal very unhappy, he still wanted to sit in the audience and watch Kobe play from a fan's perspective. . In the NBA, it cannot be said that there is no such thing as a star coming to watch another star play, but it is definitely rare. Wang Dalin also felt that this kind of thing seemed a bit strange, so he specifically reported it to Carlisle in advance. "What? Are you going to Los Angeles to watch the Lakers game?" Carlisle was obviously surprised, "Wang, are you serious?" ¡°That¡¯s right, I plan to go to Los Angeles tomorrow to go shopping first, and then return to Detroit after watching the game the day after tomorrow!¡± "Well, the team is on holiday anyway, you are free to go wherever you want! However, your appearance at the Staples Arena will definitely attract the attention of the media, and the boss will probably be very unhappy if he finds out! " Carlisle¡¯s worries are not unreasonable. On the surface, Pistons owner Bill Davidson is a very low-key philanthropist. He has donated US$80 million in the 1990s, but Carlisle knows that this old man is actually very small-minded. If the media over-interprets Wang Dalin¡¯s appearance at Staples Arena, even if Davidson doesn¡¯t say anything on the surface, he will definitely feel very uncomfortable. Yes, you are our star player in Detroit, why are you going to Los Angeles? ¡°Is our Detroit too small to accommodate a great god like you? Do you have to go to a big city like Los Angeles? Who knows what Davidson will think then. Anyway, Carlisle thinks that the old man will definitely not think that Wang Dalin just wants to go to Los Angeles for fun. "Don't worry, Coach Rick, I will explain it clearly to the boss!" In fact, Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t care what Davidson thinks. He never interferes in club affairs and leaves them all to Dumas. Carlisle naturally has the final say on the team¡¯s affairs. And he just signed a four-year long-term contract with the Pistons this summer. As long as Davidson is not confused, he will not fall out with him over such a trivial matter, right? "Who can live without a few friends while working hard in the NBA?" Like a taciturn guy like Ben, whenever Rasheed Wallace comes to Detroit to play away games in the past two years, he will always treat him to a big meal as long as time permits. Wang Dalin also wanted to get close to Kobe during this trip As a senior Kobe, he knew that Kobe was a bit withdrawn and did not like to make friends like O'Neal, but Kobe also had friends, such as Tracy McGrady and Garnett. I have a good relationship with him. Wang Dalin flew to Los Angeles on the morning of December 24. He first found a hotel to settle in, then went to a street newsstand to buy a tourist map of Los Angeles, and looked for those classic attractions and took a tour. ¡­¡­ Los Angeles is located in southwest California, the United States. It is the second largest city in the United States and the largest city in the western United States. It is known as the "City of Angels". The tourism industry in Los Angeles is very developed. Hollywood, located in this city, is not only the film center of the United States, but also the film center of the world! The most worth visiting in Hollywood is naturally the "Avenue of Stars", which is a sidewalk extending along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. It was built in 1958 and has more than 2,000 stars with the names of Hollywood celebrities on the ground. The medal is world-famous. The winners of the "Avenue of Stars" are all people who have made outstanding contributions in the entertainment industry such as film, television, drama or broadcasting, and there are also Chinese people among them. The most well-known among them are Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Johnnie Woo Of course , it is now 2001, and Jackie Chan and director John Woo have not yet had time to leave their mark on this avenue. Since you are in Hollywood, why not go to "Griffith Park"? "Griffith Park" is the largest urban public park in the United States.?Are the Lakers preparing to play? " "Darling, are you here to see Kobe or O'Neal?" "Darling, there is news that you and Jessica are very good friends. Are you disappointed that you didn't meet her at Staples Arena tonight?" "Darling, Jessica said that she admires you very much. What do you think of her?" ¡­¡­ At first, the reporters¡¯ questions were relatively normal, at least they were about basketball. Later, their questions became more and more unreliable, and they actually related to ¡°Jessica¡±. ¡°As expected of a reporter from Los Angeles, the entertainment is great! It took Wang Dalin a long time to figure out that the "Jessica" in the reporter's mouth turned out to be Jessica Alba. This sweet-looking actress just starred in the science fiction action drama "Black Angel Season 1" last year. Jessica Alba attracted attention for her role as "Max" who escaped from the base after being genetically modified, and was nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series at the 58th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards. This year she co-starred with Michael Weatherly in the sci-fi action drama "Dark Angel Season 2" directed by the great director James Cameron, and is currently in the spotlight in Hollywood. Many fans know that Jessica Alba is an out-and-out Lakers fan, and she is a die-hard Kermit. There are rumors that if Kobe had not married Vanessa and had children early, something might have happened with Jessica Alba. After all, the two of them admire each other very much. But things seem to be a little different in this life. Wang Dalin heard from reporters that Jessica Alba personally admitted that she admired herself very much, and it was the kind of appreciation that was completely undisguised! This is a bit interesting One is a popular actress in Hollywood, and the other is a popular star in the NBA. For reporters, it seems that these two people were born to interact and provide them with a lot of news materials by the way. It's best to It¡¯s a direct scandal! Wang Dalin is a little speechless Why don't you say at this time that I am only 19 years old and a minor who is not even of drinking age? Jessica Alba is quite beautiful and fits Wang Dalin's aesthetic sense, but he has never even seen her face Reporters in Los Angeles must be so unscrupulous, they forcefully push her to create scandals. ? Wang Dalin of course denied this. He told reporters that he did not know Jessica Alba at all. A reporter held up a microphone and asked loudly: "Darling, if you have the opportunity would you like to meet Jessica?" Wang Dalin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Let it go!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 148 The biggest rival in the East (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! This season, the Pistons have been the dominant team in the Eastern Conference. After a losing streak, they have a winning streak. Their record has reached 19 wins and 6 losses. "Compared to last season's total record of 32 wins and 50 losses, the Pistons' performance this season is completely like a new team In fact, if you look at the coaches and players, they have basically changed. Like the Pistons, the Nets this season also seem to have changed a team, and their coaching staff has not changed at all, and the main players have not changed much. It is just that the "lone wolf" Marbury is gone. , in exchange for a new team leader "Ji Bu Gong". Can one person really change a team? In 1996, O'Neal came to Los Angeles from Orlando. He did not immediately bring about earth-shaking changes to the Lakers. In the 1996-1997 season, the Lakers' regular season wins were only 3 more than the previous season. In the original time and space, as soon as Jason Kidd arrived at the Nets, the team that was weak last season immediately became stronger. The Nets' record in the 2000-2001 season was 26 wins and 56 losses, ranking only twelfth in the Eastern Conference and sixth from the bottom in the league. After Kidd joined, the Nets suddenly became a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference, with the best record in the Eastern Conference of 52 wins and 30 losses, ranking fifth in the league. Is this what the "peak shark" is capable of? He can¡¯t even compare to ¡°Fundamental Attack¡±? ?Obviously, the Lakers are already very strong, and the addition of O'Neal is just the icing on the cake. The Nets were originally just a weak team, and Marbury's leadership ability was indeed weak, and he did not fully utilize the strength of the many players on this team. On the surface, Kidd¡¯s scoring average is not as high as Marbury¡¯s, and is even much lower than him; his assists average is very high, but Marbury is not bad either, not much less than Kidd. Looking only at personal data, Kidd has no advantage over Marbury, but his performance in leading the team is much better. This is Kidd's ability. ??In a sense, Wang Dalin feels that Kidd in this period is very similar to Paul in his thirties later. They are both the type of people whose personal statistics are not outstanding but can make their teammates better. Kidd was able to lead the Nets to quickly rise to become a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference, and Paul did the same with the Thunder. Even after Wang Dalin crossed over, Paul also led the thousand-year-old Suns to achieve second place in the Western Conference Of course, these consecutive games Wang Dalin didn¡¯t even know. The last time the Pistons faced off against the Nets, they beat their opponents with blood. Kidd obviously hadn't gotten along well with his teammates at that time, so the record of that confrontation was not of reference significance. "If Carlisle thinks that the Pistons were able to annihilate the Nets last time, they will definitely be able to do so this time, then he is not worthy of being called a famous NBA coach in history. On the afternoon of December 26, the Pistons conducted very detailed tactical drills, most of which were to deal with the upcoming strong enemies, and of course a small part of them were to welcome Ben's return. During the period when Ben was absent, excluding the game against the Sonics on December 5, the Pistons achieved a total of 5 wins and 2 losses. They did play well. But the Pistons without big money are undoubtedly incomplete and their strength is incomplete! Without the inside support of Ben, although Carlisle adjusted his offensive and defensive tactics in time, it was just a helpless move. The effect of "mixed zone defense" is indeed good, and "run and gun" is even more powerful on the offensive end, but all of this is only based on the premise that the opponent is insufficiently prepared for them. Once the opponent's head coach carefully makes targeted arrangements, the Pistons will The team's immature offensive and defensive system will become vulnerable. For example, if high-level head coaches like Bob and Phil Jackson lead the Spurs or Lakers to meet the Pistons, they will probably give the Pistons a good drink. As an excellent head coach, you must know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace. You cannot stay in the league by relying on only one tactic Carlisle knows this very well, so this training session also included the "mixed zone defense" drill. After the game, the team's defensive intensity immediately increased to a higher level. The defensive intensity increased, and Carlisle focused the drill on offense. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??Among them, in the super battle against the SuperSonics on December 22, the Pistons took 30 crazy shots from beyond the three-point line and made 14 three-pointers. During this period, the Pistons' long-range shooting efficiency scared the entire league, and now they suddenly joinHe came to help defend. Kidd flicked his wrist and the ball flew to Kittles' hands. The guy raised his hand and shot "Whoops!" Corey Kittles, nicknamed "Mosquito," has a higher three-point shooting percentage than Van Horn and is a scorer with very strong offensive power. The reason why he is nicknamed "Mosquito" is because everyone describes his accurate shooting and erratic movement. He can hit those three-pointers as quietly as a mosquito. In comparison, his style of play is somewhat similar to Hamilton, but Hamilton does not have as strong a three-point ability as him. Looking back, Wang Dalin set a pick-and-roll for Billups, but Kidd was very alert and avoided his screen, directly blocking Billups' breakthrough route. Billups was forced to stop the ball. Wang Dalin took the ball from him and distributed it to the other side. Hamilton received the ball at a 45-degree position on the right side of the outside, and Kittles directly connected with it. The Nets' defense is very active. No matter which Pistons player gets the ball, they will immediately press closely. This defensive intensity is almost comparable to the playoffs. Wang Dalin took the initiative and took the responsibility, and when the 24-second attack time was about to end, he made a pull-up shot from outside the three-point line. The ball was strongly interfered by Martin, and as expected it was a hit. Kidd personally picked off the rebound and quickly made a long pass to initiate a fast break. Williams on the Pistons side was unable to retreat in time, and Van Horn easily completed a layup. 5:2, just 56 seconds into the game, and the Pistons were temporarily behind. It was the Pistons' turn to attack, and the Nets continued to expand their defense to put pressure on them. The Pistons players could only cover each other's movements. This time, Hamilton finally found an open space. Billups passed the ball in time, and Hamilton caught the ball. He immediately made a jump shot, but unfortunately the ball missed again. Although Kittles still caused some interference when he took the last shot, Wang Dalin could see clearly that the reason why the ball didn't go in was probably due to Hamilton's own poor touch. "I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome now!" Wang Dalin was a little anxious, "If everyone's touch is not good, it will not be easy to defeat the Nets!" There is one thing to say, the Nets' defense is indeed very strong, but if the Pistons can hit the same shooting percentage as they did against the Sonics in the last game, no matter how strong their defense is, they will not be able to stop them. But if the touch is not good, it's hard to say. After all, the Nets are currently the second-best team in the Eastern Conference. Their defensive counterattacks are very good, especially Kidd. Once he takes off the defensive rebound and sends a ball Pass, there is a high probability that it will be an easy layup (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 149 Evenly matched (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The Nets' defense put the Pistons into a tough fight from the beginning, but the Pistons' "hybrid zone defense" also made it difficult for the Nets players, especially Kidd, the point guard who is really not good at shooting. Zone defense is actually about narrowing the defensive area to prevent the opponent from driving to the basket. If the opponent can make a shot from the outside, the zone defense will actually be broken without attacking. Kidd's shooting ability was stretched, and the Pistons kept a close eye on Kittles and Van Horn, the Nets' strongest shooting abilities. Therefore, the Nets failed to score in the next three attacks, and the two sides entered a tug-of-war. war. When his teammates were unable to open up the situation, Wang Dalin stepped forward and started playing singles with the ball He also understood that running and gunning would probably be impossible against a top-notch defensive team like the Nets. , or he is slightly more efficient in singles with the ball. With the blessing of several offensive star skills, even if he attacks Martin, he can still be more than 40% accurate Although the offensive efficiency is not high, it is still better than his teammates who miss one after another. Now he knows that superstars like Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, and Nowitzki all have S-level star skills, so why are their shooting percentages less than 50%. As the star of the team, you must often hold the ball and attack There is no way, if you don't attack but pass it to your teammates to beat, the success rate of your teammates will be even lower! If Kobe and the others can shoot in the open most of the time like most role players, how come their shooting rate is less than 50%? By comparison, the shooting percentages of these guys are already very high. Iverson has two seasons left in his career where his shooting percentage is less than 40% Well, this season is one of them! About 5 minutes into the game, Williams was replaced and Ben came on the field. Wang Dalin returned to the third position after many days. He no longer had to face the muscular man Martin, and his offensive efficiency immediately reached a new level. There is no way Van Horn is too thin and his athletic ability is not as strong as Martin. It is indeed much easier for Wang Dalin to beat him. The defensive intensity of the Pistons has increased a lot since the new team came up. Kidd must always pay attention when breaking through. Once he breaks in too deep and is double-teamed by multiple Pistons players, he can't say that he will be able to pass the ball. Ben has a wide range of activities after he comes on the court, and his defensive ability is also top-notch. He can often help his teammates in time while taking care of McCulloch. He is not worried about missing this meat shield center, because this guy is a rough guy, with almost no independent offensive ability, and even poor ability to eat cake. After entering the 21st century, there are few big centers with independent offensive capabilities in the entire league. At present, except for O'Neal, veterans like David Robinson and Alonzo Mourning are already considered very good centers. I don't know. Is this the tragedy or blessing of basketball. Without excellent power forwards such as Tim Duncan, Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett, Rasheed Wallace and Dirk Nowitzki to support the scene, the interior players will decline even more. Both sides played at a slow pace, and their shooting percentages were not high In fact, the Pistons wanted to play fast at the beginning, but unfortunately their shooting percentage was too low. After two counterattacks by the Nets, they had to slow down their pace and play steadily. Wang Dalin actually hates this kind of game rhythm. He is a shooting scorer and always falls into the slow-paced half-court offense and defense. He really cannot give full play to his advantages. But the tone of this game has been set from the beginning, and now they want to forcefully speed up the game unless the Pistons can hit a series of small climaxes. Now the offense of both sides is not going well, and neither side is able to launch an attack wave. They basically score one iron, two, and then two iron three The Nets once led by 7 points, but when Ben came on the court, their offensive efficiency dropped sharply. Wang Dalin, Hamilton and Billups seized the opportunity to play wonderful cooperation and quickly closed the score. The head coaches of both sides attached great importance to this game, so in the first quarter, both teams did not adjust their lineups much and chose to beat the main players hard. The first quarter ended quickly, with the Nets leading the Pistons by 3 points at 22:19. The Pistons have scored very high in recent games. This is the first time in more than half a month that they have scored less than 20 points in the first quarter. Wang Dalin and his teammates are very awkward, but there is nothing anyone can do. Carlisle has also been thinking of countermeasures, but the game rhythm thing It is not easy to drop from fast tempo to slow tempo, and it is also difficult to increase speed from slow tempo to fast tempo. In the final analysis, it depends on the success rate. At the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Dalin and Billups finally came off the court to rest, and Ben was also replaced.But the referees on duty may not always implement the instructions from above. ¡°These days it should be said that it will be the same in future generations. Many people in the United States do have racial discrimination tendencies. This situation is especially serious in the two cities of Dallas and Boston. Having suffered this secret loss silently, Wang Dalin quickly shut up. He knew that there would be no results if he tried to argue with the referee, and he might even get a t. Seeing that Wang Dalin just yelled and kept silent, the referee did not chase him and give him a t After all, he was the one who was given special care by his superiors. It was just that he was not taken care of by the ball just now. He couldn't hold it against him. Did the superiors deliberately make things difficult for him? The referee didn't know, nor did the home fans in the "Auburn Hills Palace Arena", that Wang Dalin had secretly vowed in his heart that he must win this game, and he wanted everyone to see him with their own eyes. How to defeat the Nets with my own handsdefeated Kidd with my own hands! The Pistons attacked again. Just after Billups dribbled the ball halfway, Wang Dalin took the initiative to ask him for the ball on the wing. It was obvious that his mood had risen. "Okay, let's start with you!" Seeing that it was Martin who was still changing positions to keep an eye on him, Wang Dalin felt furious and did not call for a pick-and-roll. He immediately took a tentative step and took action. "Whoops!" This large size scored two points very beautifully, and Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel happy Could it be that the feeling of his hand has recovered? Facts have proved that he thought too much. This ball was probably because of his anger. He forgot about the bad feel for a moment, and instead temporarily restored the touch as usual This was limited to this one ball! Kidd completely ignored the fact that his foul action was not called. He has been in the league for too long and has a thick skin like a city wall. What? Tell me about golf course ethics How much is this thing worth? The Nets failed to succeed in two consecutive attacks, and Wang Dalin failed to make another shot When he thought about the feel, his touch quickly went cold again. Kidd called for a pick-and-roll again. This time, the Nets' Kittles and Martin mentioned the high post and set up a double screen for him. Kidd quickly broke into the three-second zone, then jumped high and passed the ball to the outside range. Horn's hands. Because Kittles and Martin happened to come over to block Wang Dalin, they accidentally hit him and became an "elevator door" Van Horn raised his knife and hit a three-pointer. He was so excited. He screamed in the sky and hammered his chest hard. This way of celebrating would be very domineering if Garnett was allowed to do it, but Van Horn looks like a little puppy with a pretty face (remember this site's website address: www .hlnovel.com Chapter 150 Jedi Counterattack (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! With Van Horn hitting a three-pointer, the Nets finally tied the score, and the current score between the two sides reached 35:35. There are less than 3 minutes left in the second quarter. Based on the current defensive intensity and offensive efficiency of the two teams, Wang Dalin estimates that it is good for both sides to score more than 40 points at the end of the half. The Nets did play a suffocating defense, but after the Pistons came on the court, their defensive intensity was also extraordinary, no worse than the Nets. So after the players from the two teams contributed three times each, they finally scored a goal each. The Nets barely scored a goal when Kidd singled Billups out. The Pistons were a little more relaxed. After all, as long as Wang Dalin regains his touch occasionally, he might be able to score a pull-up jumper. After scoring this goal, the two sides fell into the embarrassing situation of being unable to score in sports battles. They could only rely on drawing fouls and going to the free throw line to continue to increase points I have to say that Kidd's free throws are really accurate, even more accurate than Wang Dalin! In the last attack of the first half, Wang Dalin went to the basket and distributed the ball to the outside. Billups caught the ball and hit a three-pointer. But looking back, Kidd also shot a three-pointer from the outside. This ball Actually got in! At the end of the first half, the two sides tied at 42:41, and the Pistons were 1 point behindprobably because Kidd made two free throws, while Wang Dalin only made one of two free throws! Back in the locker room, Big Ben excitedly said to Wang Dalin and Billups: "Second brother, third brother, you must take more shots in the second half. Don't worry about missing shots. I'm here to grab the rebound under the basket!" That¡¯s right, this guy grabbed 9 rebounds in the first half, including 4 offensive rebounds Everyone¡¯s shooting is so good, he was really happy! Although Ben may not even be 2 meters tall, his rebounding ability is among the best in the league. Considering that he has won the rebounding title twice, his ability to grab rebounds is not weaker than that of Charles Barkley. Maybe it¡¯s because he just returned from injury. Ben was very excited to play tonight. He must have been holding back for too long and wanted to vent after playing. Carlisle was very satisfied with the performance of his disciples. In this high-intensity confrontation, the players all withstood the pressure. Although their shooting percentage was very low, wasn't the opponent's shooting percentage also very low? Anyway, tonight is a defensive battle, so let¡¯s see who¡¯s defense is better, whose shooting is stronger, and whose star player has the final word! Didn¡¯t the Bulls often play games like this when they faced the Jazz twice in the Finals? Who isn¡¯t a blacksmith anymore? If there were no "old hooligans" who frequently performed wonderfully at critical moments, would the Bulls really be stronger than that Jazz team? At this point, Carlisle has never doubted Wang Dalin. When it comes to his ability to play key goals, Wang Dalin is well-known throughout the league. Of course, Kidd's outstanding performance still left Carlisle with nothing to do. Don't look at "Kidd's shooting" in the first half, which seemed to be very solid. He has already sent out 7 assists Billups, the current core point guard of the Pistons, , his average assists are less than 7 per game! It is estimated that the home fans of the "Auburn Hills Palace Arena" did not realize that Kidd performed so well tonight, so sometimes the performance of players on the court is often very confusing. In the words of "Kuroko's Basketball" There is no sense of existence! As the main point guard of the Nets, Kidd should have a high sense of presence, right? But that¡¯s the fact. At least tonight, his presence was very low. Even Wang Dalin didn¡¯t notice that this guy actually sent out 7 assists in the first half! Maybe it has something to do with this guy¡¯s increasingly unpretentious style of play. Kidd played extremely cool during the Suns¡¯ days and even had blond hair. At that time, Kidd had a bit of the "white chocolate" style of later generations on the court, but as he grew older, he became less and less fond of playing tricks. As the saying goes, "Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black." Compared to "Magic" Earvin Johnson, who has a gorgeous style of play, Kidd actually admires John Stockton, who has a simple style of play, so his ball The wind is also gradually getting closer to the "assist king" and "steal king" in NBA history. For example, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett, no one would have any objection to the historical status of these two, but Garnett earns more than Duncan, and much more! Is it because of strength? Of course not. Compared to Duncan's extremely low-key style of play, Garnett's performance on the court is undoubtedly much more flamboyant, and can even be called "arrogant" at times. Therefore, his popularity is much higher than that of Duncan, and naturally he is. It is more favored by major brand merchants. &First, they must be given a small offensive climax. Just like the "Tian Ji Horse Racing", the current situation is that the Pistons have sent a "high-quality horse", but the Nets have responded with a "low-class horse". Is there any suspense in this? As soon as Wang Dalin came on the court, he played an exquisite pick-and-roll match with Hamilton. After receiving the ball, Hamilton completed a one-handed dunk. This guy has played more than 20 games since joining the Pistons, and this is the first time he has dunked in a game Obviously, the "Mask Man" is going to fight tonight! The Nets' substitute forward Aaron Williams missed a mid-range shot. Ben took off the rebound and immediately handed it to Billups for a fast break. Wang Dalin stepped in at the right time, and after receiving the ball, he went straight to the basket, and again A one-handed chop. Nets substitute center Jason Collins also fouled him, and Wang Dalin made an extra free throw to complete 2+1. In just 35 seconds, the Pistons had already caught up to 5 points. Kidd was frightened when he saw it off the court, and hurriedly said to Scott: "Byron, it seems that the Pistons are going to gain momentum. Call a timeout quickly and replace us?" Scott smiled slightly, waved his hand gently and said: "Jason, you are too impatient. The Pistons' shooting percentage in front is only about 37%. How can they come back? Just rest assured and watch the game. Let¡¯s celebrate together when it¡¯s over!¡± Kidd's face was as dark as water and he said: "Byron, I'm really not kidding. You'd better put us on the court quickly. This game is not over yet!" Scott showed disapproval: "Do you really think they can make a comeback?" Kidd said anxiously: "Can you please see clearly the situation on the court? The Pistons' momentum is completely different now!" The smile on Scott's face gradually disappeared, but he said: "Jason, I hope you can see clearly who has the final say on this team You are just a player, I am the head coach of the Nets!" Kidd was speechless for a while, probably feeling as sick as a beeping dog. I kindly remind you, why the hell are you trying to act like a coach with me? If you lose this game, I'll see where you put your old face! Just as Kidd and Scott were talking, Ben completed another block, and the Pistons once again played a fast break. This time it was Billups' sudden shot from beyond the three-point line After the ball was made, He breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't make any three-pointers in the first three and a half quarters! When it was the Nets' turn to attack, Collins failed to succeed in the singles inside. The Pistons launched a fast break again. Wang Dalin received a pass from Billups in the frontcourt and shot directly from outside the three-point line "Shua", it's in again! With the score reaching 75:70 and 4 minutes and 39 seconds left in the game, Scott finally couldn't help but call a timeout (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 151 The ultimate kill (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! I have to say that Scott¡¯s mood can be described as ¡°terrible¡±. Just 1 minute and 39 seconds ago, they were leading by 16 points, but now they are only leading by 5 points! 1 minute, 39 seconds and 11 minutes With Scott's anxious IQ, how could he know how the Pistons did it? Of course he doesn¡¯t know, but Kidd, who is sitting next to him, knows it all Just these rotten sweet potatoes and rotten eggs on the Nets bench, what can they do to stop the offensive frenzy of the Pistons¡¯ main players? If it weren¡¯t for their head coach¡¯s poor on-the-spot adaptability, even if a few of their main players were allowed to play for a minute or two, would they still be unable to win this game? Of course, it's not too late to call a timeout. Although the Pistons have gained momentum and their shooting touch seems to have returned to normal, Kidd firmly believes that as long as they slow down the pace and guard every ball carefully, the Pistons want to overtake the score. It¡¯s not easy either! The most important thing isScott, please stop talking, okay? Scott was still explaining the next offensive tactics to the players. Kidd snatched the tactical board from his hand in anger, and then shouted to the players: "Everyone, this is a life-or-death moment. On the offensive end, we will continue to stick to the pick-and-roll as before, the key point is that we must guard against the Pistons' offense!" Scott was taken aback and immediately yelled: "Jason, what are you going to do?" Kidd didn't back down, looked directly at him and said angrily: "Don't interrupt, this game will be as I say, no matter whether you win or lose, I will be responsible. If you are not convinced, you can always appeal to the boss, I will give you all then!" Scott was so angry that his whole body was shaking and he was speechless for a long time. Kidd continued to tell his teammates: "The most important thing for us on the defensive end now is to guard Darling King! Maybe everyone can see that his touch has recovered, and no one among us can guard him one-on-one. So as long as he gets the ball in the frontcourt, he will double-team and never give him a chance to fight alone!" Van Horn, Martin, Kittles and others nodded one after another. The players were not fools. Kidd was more reasonable than Scott. Naturally, they trusted the team boss more. The changes in the Nets this season have been earth-shaking. This weak team last season has transformed into a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference. The outside world generally believes that this is the credit of head coach Scott. In fact, everyone in the Nets knows If not Kidd, they are probably still that weak team! So even though Kidd has only been with the Nets for a short time, his prestige in the team is unmatched by anyone, not even head coach Scott. The timeout was short, and players from both sides appeared again. This time the Nets replaced all the main players, and the Pistons also replaced Robinson. During this period, Robinson finally took the opportunity to take a good rest. Now is the most critical moment of the game. How could Carlisle continue to put him on the bench? To be honest, Carlisle was really surprised and happy, because he really didn't expect that Wang Dalin and the others could really catch up with the score Although they have not completely caught up, they are 16 points behind compared to 1 minute and 39 seconds ago. I don¡¯t know how much better the situation is! With a difference of 16 points, there is no need to continue to fight hard, but with a difference of 5 points this game must be fought for! Moreover, the quarrel between Kidd and Scott just now was seen by the entire audience, and Carlisle and the others were no exception With such a scene of discord between the generals, it is conceivable that the Nets are in a very bad situation now, so even though they are now They are the lagging side, but their confidence is much stronger than that of the Nets. ¡°Be on guard against this ball!¡± Wang Dalin shouted loudly. The teammates also shouted in unison: "Guard against this ball!" The most nervous person on the court for the Pistons is undoubtedly Billups. He knows very well that Kidd will most likely beat him in the Nets' offense this time. Coupled with the pick-and-roll of his teammates, it will be difficult for him to guard the current number one. Point guard. And before going on the court, Carlisle specifically told the players that Kidd must be double-teamed, and even if they leave Van Horn or Kittles open, Kidd must be guarded to the death. In the past, Carlisle would never have made such an arrangement. After all, Kidd's offensive efficiency has never been high. Even if he was allowed to swing hard, he would not be able to hit a critical hit. But the situation was different tonight. Kidd's shooting touch in the second half was obviously better than that in the first half, especially the three-point shooting. Billups really didn't dare to let him go anymore. Kidd slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Van Horn immediately came over to screen for him. Billups continued around the screen.Although the game was stumbling and the Pistons' defense was quite good, Kidd still relied on his strong core strength to cause Wang Dalin a foul. There are 7 seconds left in the game. If he makes two free throws, even if the Pistons have another chance to attack, they may not be able to score in such a short time. But the reality is often full of drama. Kidd, who has always been as steady as an old dog in free throws, actually missed and failed to make his first free throw! On the second free throw, Kidd took two deep breaths, and then made his signature free throw move of "blowing a kiss with his right hand" It is said that he invented this move to express his love for his wife. I don¡¯t know if Kidd¡¯s wife, who is thousands of miles away, gave him a blessing. He finally scored a free throw 78:78, the two sides were tied, but the Pistons still had one last shot. opportunity to succeed. Carlisle called another timeout, with only 7 seconds left. It is definitely better to serve in the frontcourt than to serve the baseline ball. "I think they all thought we would hand it over to Darling for this shot, so I decided to let you, Chauncey, play this attack!" Carlisle concisely laid out the tactics for the final attack. "What? Let me fight?" Billups seemed not to believe his ears, and there seemed to be a big exclamation point written on his face. "What? Do you think you are not qualified?" Carlisle asked with a slight smile. "No I just think it's too sudden!" Billups stuttered a bit. It was obvious that Carlisle's decision surprised him. "Second brother, you have to believe in yourself, and we will all help you attract the opponent's defensive attention. You only need to challenge Jason alone!" Wang Dalin patted his shoulder and smiled. "That's right, second brother, you have to believe in yourself. Didn't you tell us last time that you wanted to be the number one point guard in the league?" Ben also smiled and said, "If you want to be the number one point guard in the league, you must first be in the league. Let¡¯s beat Jason in this game!¡± "Okay, I get it!" Billups' expression finally returned to normal, and there was only calmness in his eyes. "Beep" The referee¡¯s whistle sounded and the players from both sides appeared again. Hamilton came to serve this frontcourt sideline ball. The Pistons players lined up in a row and they were going to make a very common "explosion move". When the ball was passed to Billups, Kidd was still there shouting: "Keep an eye on Darling King!" Nets players are indeed on strict guard against Wang Dalin. There are three Nets players within three meters of him. Even Kidd is looking here from time to time while guarding Billups. "Then you deserve to be unlucky!" Billups saw that Kidd was more than 1.5 meters away from him, so he immediately took action without hesitation. Kidd was shocked and it was too late to defend. "Whoops!" "Beep" The crimson basketball passed through the basket smoothly, and the whistle sounded at the end of the game. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com I'm very sorry.

After making the buzzer-beating shot, Billups stood there blankly, his eyes full of disbelief. This is the first time he has hit a buzzer-beating shot in a game. It is obvious that this excellent point guard is not used to this feeling. Wang Dalin rushed over and picked him up, shouting excitedly: "Second brother, you made the shot, we won!" Billups asked blankly: "Did we win?" Comparing this expression with his determination when he made the winning shot, Wang Dalin couldn't help laughing and said: "Yes, second brother, you made the winning shot, we won!" Billups finally laughed out loud and said: "Haha, I made the buzzer-beating shot We won!" The Pistons players rushed to the center of the court, set up Billups and threw him high again and again. Billups smiled like a child. Carlisle also walked into the field, put his hand on Wang Dalin's shoulder and smiled: "Wang, you did it, I'm really happy for you!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Coach, it's nothing, I just don't want to lose!" Carlisle smiled and said: "I don't want to lose either No one wants to lose, but you did it, congratulations!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Same joy!" ¡­¡­ At the post-match press conference, Scott kept a black face throughout and almost always answered reporters' questions with one sentence - "No comment!" Kidd also attended the press conference. Naturally, his expression was not very good, but he answered all reporters' questions. Of course, when a reporter asked him about grabbing the tactical board and having an argument with Scott on the sidelines, Kidd also said "no comment." How can you say this? I can¡¯t say, ¡°I can¡¯t bear to see that guy Scott occupying the latrine and not taking a shit,¡± right? Carlisle was obviously in a good mood at the press conference. After all, he had won the game, and this time he brought Wang Dalin and Billups to help him share most of the reporters' firepower. This game was not exciting from the perspective of the process. After all, both sides contributed more than 90 times in total, and the final score was only 78:80. It can be said to be a quite ugly game. But the shocking reversal in the final stage of the game is the most classic scene in the history of NBA The NBA has never had such a big reversal with such a huge difference in points and such a short time. A 16-point reversal in 6 minutes and 18 seconds It feels magical just thinking about it. Even in the small ball era of later generations, it is estimated that it will be difficult to perform such a miracle. But the Pistons did it, Wang Dalin did it So he was already happily checking the rewards he had received. Which two ability values ??will be selected in this random drawing by the system? "Host: Wang Dalin" ¡°Date of birth: March 17, 1982¡± "Height: 211cm, weight: 106kg, wingspan: 231cm" "Position: Small Forward" "85 (90) for close range shots, 80 (90) for cut-in layups, 75 (90) for cut-in dunks, 80 (90) dunks on the spot, 75 (85) for behind-the-back hook shots, 75 (90) for behind-the-back jumpers , 85 (99) for mid-range shots, 90 (90) for three-pointers, 74 (90) for free throws, 60 (85) for post-ups, 69 (85) for passing accuracy, 80 (85) for passing vision, 80 (85) for ball control 80), dribbling speed 85 (85), catching ability 73 (90), inside defense 65 (85), outside defense 70 (85), steals 59 (85), blocks 73 (90), shot interference 70 (90) ), offensive rebounds 80 (85), defensive rebounds 67 (90), lateral agility 66 (80), speed 72 (85), acceleration 71 (85), strength 65 (85), jumping 73 (99), physical strength 90 (99).¡± ¡°Comprehensive durability: 81¡± "Potential value: 99" "Equipment skills: Blind Blind (A-level), McGrady pull-up (S-level), Touch your head (S-level), Aldridge's behind-the-back shot (A-level), Golden Rooster Independence (S-level)" "Comprehensive ability value: 86 (A-level star)" "Note: The number outside the brackets is the host's current ability value, and the number inside the brackets is the upper limit of the corresponding ability value at the current stage (a cumulative total of 10 ability values ??reaches the upper limit of the current stage to unlock the next stage. After entering the next stage All ability value caps will be re-released)!" After reading this, Wang Dalin was quite satisfied. Although the system did not draw the two abilities of "bounce" and "mid-range shooting" that can instantly increase to full value, it did draw "ball control" and "dribbling speed". Not bad at all, they are all key abilities needed for a breakthrough. And the comprehensive ability value has also been increased by 1 point. This is an unexpected surprise, right? Wang Dalin did not pay attention to?With this price, it's not bad to get a second-round pick. "I am currently negotiating with the Bucks. My request is for a second-round pick in 2003. Everyone knows that next year's draft pick is not very valuable!" Dumars smiled, "What do you think?" Wang Dalin thought for a moment and said: "Yes, next year's draft picks are indeed worthless, and the year after next is the big year for the draft!" As a time traveler, Wang Dalin naturally knew that 2002 was a poor draft year, although the first round picks included Yao Ming, Amar'e Stoudemire, Nene Hilario and Caron Butler. There are several outstanding players, but not many of the second-round picks are worth their salt, probably only Carlos Boozer and Matt Barnes. As for Luis Scola, who is very familiar to Chinese fans, although he was selected by the Spurs with the 27th pick in the second round, Scola's parent team Tawu Ceramics Club asked for a buyout fee of US$3.5 million. The team never signed him. Since then, Scola has been playing for the Tau Ceramics Club. It was not until 2007 that the Rockets obtained Scola's signing rights through a trade and paid a buyout fee of US$500,000 for him. This allowed this outstanding power forward to continue his career. Set foot on the NBA court. In order to land in the NBA, Scola paid the remaining $3 million in buyout fees out of his own pocket. At that time, he almost went bankrupt in order to pay for this money. The quality of the rookies in 2002 was average, but the quality of the rookies in 2003 was not low. Needless to say, James, Anthony, Wade, Bosh, Kaman and the like in the first round were all All-Stars. The second-round picks also include a large number of high-quality players such as Kyle Korver, Jason Kapono, Steve Blake, Mo Williams, Matt Bonner, and Zaza Pachulia. . (As for the scumbag, Lao Wang can only say that his performance on the court is still very good, although his playing skills are quite inferior.) As long as the Bucks can send out the 2003 second-round pick, Wang Dalin can guarantee that the Pistons will be able to select a very good player, at least the best sixth man level. Dumas smiled and said: "As long as we can negotiate this deal, we will undoubtedly make a profit! Since you are here today, I want to ask you a favor!" Wang Dalin asked: "What's the matter?" "The team is currently in good operating condition, but if I can make more money, I believe no one will refuse, so I hope you can help me set up a line with Mr. Li Ning. The team needs the influence of 'Li Ning' in China. I think if the Pistons can reach a cooperation agreement with Li-Ning, it will be a win-win situation for both of us!" "HmmOkay, I will try my best to help you!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 153 Let¡¯s make a movie while you¡¯re injured (second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After returning home, Wang Dalin immediately called Li Ning and told him on the phone the Pistons' intention to cooperate with "Li Ning". Li Ning was also very interested in this, so he got Dumas's phone number from Wang Dalin and talked to him in person. As soon as I hung up the phone, Schwartz called again. "Wang, you should be free in the past two weeks, right?" "Yes, what's the matter?" "Do you know John Schulz?" "I don't know him. Who is he?" "Well, he's a director in Hollywood. It's normal if you don't know him Well, Director Schulz wants to invite you to play a cameo role in his new movie "Little Devil's Shoes". Let me help you. Promise him!" "Ah? You agreed for me? No, I can't act. Why would you help me take this kind of job? If I don't act well, wouldn't it be embarrassing?" "You don't have to worry about this, because you are playing yourself in the film He also invited Jason Kidd, Allen Iverson, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash and Gram Reese Webber, your scenes can be shot in one day at most, and he also offered you a salary of US$1 million, do you think I should agree?" "Is one million US dollars that much? Well you can have this!" ¡­¡­ After hanging up the phone, Wang Dalin was still quite excited. Although "Little Devil's Shoes" is not well-known in China, Wang Dalin was a fat nerd in his previous life and a senior basketball fan, so he has actually seen this quite funny family movie. The movie itself is about basketball. The story tells the story of 14-year-old Kevin and his friends living in an orphanage. One day they received donations from a group of charities, including a pair of basketball shoes with "mj" written on them. . Kevin decided that this was a pair of shoes that Jordan had worn when he was a child and couldn¡¯t put it down. But Akers, the troublemaker, grabbed the sneaker and threw it over the wire. That night, it was windy and rainy. Kevin secretly climbed up a tree to take off his shoes. A thunderous sound knocked down both Kevin and his sneakers. Fortunately, Kevin was not injured. Putting on his beloved sneakers, Kevin and his friends went to the Gund Stadium to watch the Cavaliers game. Due to the low attendance, the general manager of the Cavaliers came up with the idea of ??letting the famous player Tessie (a fictional character of course) interact with the audience to boost the atmosphere. Kevin became the lucky person to be invited to the stage to compete with Tessi. Facing his idol, Kevin was very excited What he thought was just an ordinary back-up performance turned out to be an unforgettable experience for Kevin, Tessie and all the audience present at the time. Wearing Jordan basketball shoes, Kevin broke through Texi's defense three times and made a shot. He even jumped directly from the three-point line and made a two-handed slam dunk. It was simply incredible! The general manager of the Cavaliers found Kevin's guardian Bitman and signed an agreement with him for Kevin to join the Cavaliers. Bitman earned a large commission from it. Kevin began to participate in various games with the Cavaliers. Not only was he able to mobilize the atmosphere of the team, but he was also able to perform extremely well on the court. The attendance at the Cavaliers' home games was greatly increased. This 14-year-old boy quickly became an NBA star. The league¡¯s hottest superstar¡­ Although the audience of this movie is relatively young, Wang Dalin thinks it is quite interesting. In his previous life, he also dreamed that if he had such a magical pair of basketball shoes, he could play in the NBA Now he has more Basketball shoes have a more powerful "hanging system", and he has already achieved his wish to enter the NBA. If he can star in such a movie again, it will be a very rare life experience. The filming location of the movie is Cleveland. After all, the protagonist Kevin in the movie joins the Cavaliers! Wang Dalin had very few scenes with Iverson, Webber, and Kidd. Among them, his scene was like this - in the game between the Pistons and the Cavaliers, Wang Dalin broke into the basket and was about to take a powerful shot. After dunking, the protagonist Kevin hit him directly from behind, leaving him stunned on the spot. Of course, there is another scene where Wang Dalin had to stop Kevin in the player tunnel after the game just to get him to sign his jersey. Wang Dalin has a line here - "Kevin, you are the only one who can block the 'Vulcan' dunk, so I hope you can leave your signature on my jersey!" When saying this, Wang Dalin would specifically point to the basketball shoes on his feet, which are the "hot shoes" that "Li Ning" is about to launch.How could he not lose when he looked like this? Wang Dalin sat on the sidelines cheering for his teammates the whole time, but the result of the game made him very injured Big brother, second brother, what are you doing? Why did you all become CBA teammates when I was gone? On January 5, the Pistons sat at the "Palace of Auburn Hills" to face the challenge of the Cavaliers. In this game, Wang Dalin's two "sworn brothers" Ben and Billups finally showed their power. Among them, Billups scored. 27 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 block and 3 steals, while Ben scored 13 points, 20 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals. Hamilton also had a good performance. He made 9 of 16 shots and scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. The Pistons naturally won this game without any suspense, with a final score of 91:101. Since scoring 124 points against the Sonics on December 22, this is the first time the Pistons have scored 100 points in a single game. Carlisle and the players finally breathed a sigh of relief During this period, they suffered four consecutive losses, which put everyone on the team They are all under tremendous pressure and it is difficult to win a game. I hope this situation can continue. But the good times did not last long. On January 7, the Pistons challenged the Western Conference powerhouse Timberwolves away from home. They lost again in this game. Looking at the game process alone, the Pistons players actually played very well, especially Billups and Hamilton showed strong firepower on the offensive end. The second team led by Williams and Atkins also played well. Not inferior to the Timberwolves' bench. However, Ben was at a disadvantage in the matchup with Garnett. The historical power forward who was about to enter the peak of his career scored a huge triple-double of 31 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists. Moreover, the "Wolf King" also He sent 3 steals and 5 blocks, completely dominating both offense and defense. And rebounding once again became the key reason for the Pistons' loss. They only grabbed 30 rebounds in total in this game, while the Timberwolves grabbed 44! The final score of this game was 102:109, and the Pistons did not lose unfairly at all. On January 8, the Pistons returned to their home court for another back-to-back game. Their opponent in this game was the Lakers, currently ranked first in the Western Conference. It has to be said that this was a game with a huge disparity in strength, and the final result was just as analyzed by major media before the game. Without Wang Dalin, the Pistons had no resistance against the Lakers. O¡¯Neal only played three quarters and easily scored 28 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, while Kobe, another star of the Lakers, scored 25 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. 121:92 Prior to this, the Pistons had only lost one game at home to the Rockets this season, and they only lost by 7 points in that game. This 29-point massacre was undoubtedly the biggest defeat the Pistons had ever suffered this season. ! Wang Dalin has been actively recovering. He has now started training with the ball. He will go to the hospital for a review on January 10. As long as the review is good, he can return in the home game against the Hornets on January 12. . As for the away game against the Celtics on January 11, Carlisle does not plan to take Wang Dalin. ¡° This kind of back-to-back game, for Wang Dalin, who is just about to return from injury, one game is enough (Remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 154: Brother, come and kill me (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! "Third brother, please stay at home and wait. We will definitely come back from Boston with a victory!" "Third brother, just watch on TV how my second brother and I clean up the Celtics!" ¡­¡­ On January 10, when the Pistons players were about to embark on their journey to Boston, Wang Dalin came to the airport in person to see them off. In order to reassure Wang Dalin, Billups and Big Ben said the above. These two sentences. And when Wang Dalin sat in front of the TV to watch the game on the evening of January 11, he was disappointed to see that his two sworn brothers were completely restricted by each other. Ben once again encountered the "shark-killing tactic" and went to the free throw line 10 times in the first half alone. As a result, he only made 4 free throws In fact, he only made 6 free throws in total in the game! So although Ben grabbed 14 rebounds in the game and even blocked 3 shots, he always showed negative effects on the court. As for Billups, it¡¯s not easy for the Celtics to restrict him because they don¡¯t have any outstanding players at the No. 1 position. Their starting point guard Kenny Anderson was selected to the All-Star team back then, but he is now 31 years old, and his height is only 183cm. Shouldn't he be completely blown out against Billups, who is 191cm tall? By the way doesn't Billups like to bully point guards who are shorter than him and have less speed? But the Celtics did not sit still. Most of the time they faced Billups on the defensive end with Paul Pierce, a small forward. Pierce completely beats Billups in all aspects such as height, wingspan, weight, strength, etc., and even his movement speed is not necessarily inferior to Billups. Just like the later Cavaliers used LeBron James to personally defend Derrick Rose, Pierce's defensive effect on Billups was surprisingly good in this game, and the "second brother" was completely restricted. Antoine Walker is really not good at defense, but his offensive firepower is the first in the league. Clifford Robinson couldn't have a confrontation with him, so he was naturally suppressed. Only Hamilton performed normally on the Pistons, but how could he defeat the Celtics alone? Even if he immediately evolves into the "Mask Man" of later generations, he still can't do it! ? 95:104. In the end, the Celtics easily defeated the Pistons. With about 4 minutes left in the game, the Celtics led by 15 points, and the rest of the game was completely reduced to garbage time. During the restorative training the next morning, everyone was in a very low mood. Since Wang Dalin was injured and left the game on December 28, they have lost 7 of the last 8 games. Their current total record is 21 wins and 13 losses, and their ranking has dropped to third in the Eastern Conference. The 76ers, currently ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, are only one game behind them, and the Magic, fifth in the Eastern Conference, are not far behind them. Although the team's losing streak is mainly due to Wang Dalin's absence due to injury, Carlisle has been under great pressure recently, and some fans in Detroit have even called for "Carlisle to be fired". After the training, Carlisle asked the team medical staff about Wang Dalin's recovery from his injury. After learning that his reexamination results were all right, he was put on the game roster. At the afternoon press conference, when a reporter asked whether Wang Dalin would play in tonight's game, Carlisle did not put off any smoke bombs and directly announced that Wang Dalin would come back. Hearing this "bad news", Hornets head coach Paul Silas suddenly panicked. The Hornets are currently ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, and their position is not very secure, because the Bucks, ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference, are eyeing them. Even if they only lose one or two games, they may be immediately eliminated by the Bucks. Go ahead. And Jamal Mashburn, who currently ranks first in scoring among the Hornets, is a small forward who happens to be opposite Wang Dalin. Marsh is a breakthrough forward player. His explosive power and speed are among the best in the league, but it is precisely this type of player that Wang Dalin is least afraid of For a forward player who has no shooting ability, can we just let him go two steps away? After resting for half a month, Wang Dalin showed extreme bloodthirsty and hunger in his first game back from injury. He turned on the killing mode from the beginning. Since the ball control reached 80 and the dribbling speed reached 85, Wang Dalin only showed his breakthrough ability once against the Magic. Although people felt amazing at the timebut that was half a month ago. , and that was at the Waterhouse Center Arena in Orlando.  The "Nike" they were crushing was turned over and trampled under their feet. You can imagine how powerful this advertisement is! Taking advantage of this trend, Ben and Billups said that Hamilton should be added to the ranks of their brothers, so Hamilton became the "third brother", and Wang Dalin could only take a step back and become the "fourth brother". At the signing ceremony, Wang Dalin, Ben, Billups, and Hamilton sat in a row, and the "Three Nightclub Brothers" turned into the "Four Li-Ning Brothers"! When they chanted the new slogan "No brothers, no basketball" in unison, a series of extremely absurd scenes seemed to flash before Wang Dalin's eyes¡ª¡ª Nick Cheung: "Hello everyone, I'm Zha Zhahui. I've done a lot of movies. I've been playing the game "Blue Moon" for a few nights. I've introduced you to the new version of the game that you've never been too late. If you're too late to play Legend, I'm here. Your brother, drive on time at 8 o'clock tonightbrother, come and chop me down!" Chen Xiaochun: "Hello brothers, I am Chen Xiaochun. It has been two years and I am back If you didn't come at 8 o'clock that year, you must not miss this introduction. The battle will start at 8 o'clock tonight. I will wait for you in the festival As a brother, come and chop me down!¡± Louis Koo: "Hello everyone, this is Louis Koo, and I would like to recommend a very new game to you, "Blue Moon", a new version. You only need to play it for three minutes, and you will fall in love with this game like me! See you at 8 o'clock tonightbrother, come and chop me down!" ¡­¡­ On January 15th, the "Four Li-Ning Brothers" came to the "Auburn Hills Palace Arena". They all had a strong young and Dangerous vibe about them. During the warm-up, Carter wanted to come over and say hello, but was scared away. In the end, Wang Dalin took the initiative to say hello. After Carter hugged him cordially, he asked with a smile: "Have you fully recovered from your injury?" Wang Dalin nodded and smiled: "Of course, just wait and see my performance tonight!" Not to be outdone, Carter said: "You have to be careful. I never like to hold back on a kid like you who only knows how to make movies!" Naturally, the Raptors' goal this season cannot just be to make the playoffs. They have been constantly recruiting players in the past few seasons. The team not only has Carter, a super star, but also Antonio Davis and Morris. There are high-quality role players such as Peterson, Alvin Williams, and Keon Clark. In addition, veterans such as "Big Dream" Olajuwon and Dell Curry still have some base oil in the tank. The Atkins deal with the Pistons has been finalized, and the Pistons and Bucks will probably make an official announcement after this game (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 155 Temporary Mission-Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! The Raptors' starting lineup for this game is point guard Alvin Williams, shooting guard Vince Carter, small forward Jerome Williams, power forward Antonio Davis and center Hakeem. Olajuwon. ? Among them, Olajuwon and Carter are naturally known to everyone, but Antonio Davis is an absolute strength in their starting lineup. This power forward has averaged 14.8 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals per game so far this season. His performance on both offense and defense is better than that of the Pistons' main power forward Robinson. Last season, Davis was selected into the starting lineup of the All-Star Eastern Conference. Although he was only substituted into the starting lineup because Mourning retired due to injury. Although the outside world generally believes that he is the "most popular" All-Star in this class, he It's true that he was selected to the All-Star team. Last season, his performance in the playoffs averaging 16.1 points, 11.1 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game was even more amazing than in the regular season. In particular, his field goal percentage of 50% and free throw percentage of 81.1% were both quite impressive. Facts have proved that this is an excellent player who can fight tough battles. Currently, he is a very qualified second-in-command of the Raptors and the most powerful helper around Carter. The Pistons' starting lineup for this game has undergone a slight change. The starting point guard is Atkins, who is about to leave the team. Billups appears at the second position, Hamilton at the third position, Wang Dalin at the fourth position, and fifth position. The position is still the boss. The Raptors¡¯ starting point guard Alvin Williams is 196cm tall. Carlisle did the opposite and sent Atkins, the shortest player on the team, to face him. Of course, he actually did this for two reasons. One was to thank Atkins for his contribution to the Pistons in the past two seasons, and the other was to hope that he could use his speed advantage to beat Alvin William in isolation. Ms. The last time Billups faced off against Alvin Williams, the effect was not good. Although he definitely had a big advantage in physical strength, the opponent's height and long arms did make him quite uncomfortable. Basketball is such a sport. In matchups between players, the stronger side often does not have the absolute advantage. For example, Curry in later generations. I believe that as long as you are a fan, you will not know about his strength, but he was pulled. Vidova, an unknown soldier, was extremely embarrassed. The same is true for Billups. With his strength, even against Iverson, he wouldn't be so frustrated. But the last time he faced Alvin Williams, he was very guarded. The whole game was in a sports battle. Almost disappeared. Before the start of the game, the two live treasures of TNT TV station appeared in front of the TV audience again. This game was naturally scheduled to be broadcast live across the United States. Wang Dalin vs. Carter is of course a very good gimmick. This game is Wang Dalin¡¯s second game after returning from injury. In the last game, he scored 46 points and 11 rebounds, showing an extremely explosive state, which also made the fans look forward to this game. They all naturally want to know Is Carter, the best player in the Eastern Conference last month, more powerful, or Wang Dalin, who has been performing well this season? "Kenny, what do you think of this game?" "Does this need to be said? Now that Darling King has returned, the Pistons must have a greater chance of winning What, do you have a different opinion?" "Well although I hate to admit it, as you said, I really can't think of anything the Raptors can do to beat the Pistons in this game!" "Let's compare the performance of the two stars this season. Vince Carter has averaged 25.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks per game so far this season. Darling King has averaged 26.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.6 blocks per game. 0.9 steals, both in terms of statistics and team record, Darling Wang is better!" "That's why I like this kid so much. He really plays like I did back then!" "Well Charles, if you can stop bragging like this, you will definitely be a very good basketball commentator!" ¡°I¡¯m so %£¤#!¡± ¡­¡­ The game started Ben actually lost in the jump ball. His opponent was "Deng Meng" who was about to turn 39. Just thinking about this kind of thing makes me feel dreamy! This scene not only shocked all the home fans of the "Palace of Auburn Hills", but even the two people in the TNT live broadcast room couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds. "Kenny, am I right? Hakeem actually beat Ben on the jump ball?" "Well Theoretically, this possibility is still very high. After all, Hakeem is much taller than Ben. Even if his jumping height and speed are not as high as those of young people, he does have a height advantage after all!" ¡°?Be quite cautious. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? In fact, in recent seasons, "Big Dream" has been quite cautious when facing anyone. After all, time is not forgiving. Although he has returned to his peak tonight, he has not yet made it clear to himself. However, the physical feeling is unmistakable. Naturally, "Big Dream" has already felt that his "remnant body" seems to be full of energy. The jump ball he just won and the first attack that easily passed the opponent were the best. proof. "Peng" Olajuwon leaned against Wang Dalin and suddenly exerted force. Wang Dalin felt a huge force coming and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Olajuwon was not as amazing as O'Neal. Wang Dalin finally managed to stabilize his figure. Wang Dalin re-posted, Olajuwon turned around with his left foot as a pivot, and immediately stepped back to complete a fadeaway jumper. Wang Dalin stretched out his long arms and tried his best to interfere. "Dang!" This shot was too difficult. Even Olajuwon at his peak failed to hit it. Wang Dalin turned around to collect the rebound and quickly raised his iron elbow to protect the ball. "It seems that the strength is still a bit lacking, why not add the strength first!" Wang Dalin handed the ball to Billups, and immediately opened the personal ability value adding page in his mind, adding the 8,000 points accumulated in the past two months of training. All smashed into the strength, raising the strength to 78. Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t know what level 78¡¯s strength is in the league, but he thinks it should be almost better than Olajuwon. He feels that the key to completing the task in tonight's game lies in the restriction of Olajuwon. The name "Peak Dream" is so loud that even Jordan, who was at his peak back then, did not dare to take it lightly. If Olajuwon does not have the 85% physical limit, Wang Dalin may even give up this task directly Of course, if the system does not limit his physical ability, it is impossible to issue such a task! "There's no way As one of the top five centers in NBA history, Olajuwon is so strong that even if he goes up against O'Neal, who is now at his peak, he won't necessarily lose. In this attack, Wang Dalin passed a handoff to Billups and helped him block Carter who was following him. The "second brother" quickly broke into the inside and made a layup. Seeing that Olajuwon almost blocked the ball, Wang Dalin couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. "Second brother, you really should remember this goal for the rest of your life, because you scored this goal on top of the 'Peak Dream'!" Wang Dalin couldn't help but secretly complain, "Fortunately you scored, if you had If he blocks it, who can I look for a chance to block again?" The pace of the first few attacks by both sides was very slow. Looking back, Carter called Davis to pick and roll him after receiving the ball. Wang Dalin chose to switch defenses, so he faced Carter for the first time in this game ¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 156 Accidentally broke the record (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Facing a flexible and fast swingman like Carter, even if Wang Dalin's dribbling speed is as high as 85, he does not have the confidence to break through him head-on, so he still uses his usual offensive method, which is a pull-up jumper after breaking through one step. . Wang Dalin often uses this trick in games, and the hit rate is quite impressive, especially when his height has a clear advantage. Although Carter¡¯s jumping ability is almost among the best in the league, his height is only 198cm after all. Even if he still has a super long wingspan of 218cm, butwho is not a wingspan weird these days? "At the same height, Wang Dalin's wingspan can almost be called the best in the league. If calculated according to his official height, it would be even more exaggeratedheight is 206cm and wingspan is 231cm. This has never happened before in NBA history, right? Carter was helpless against Wang Dalin's jump shot, but Wang Dalin also had a headache against Carter's breakthrough weren't the first two steps too fast? Moreover, the span of each step was so large that Wang Dalin almost thought Carter was the one with a height of 211cm. Wang Dalin and Carter started to score points, and their offensive efficiency was very good. The scores of both sides began to increase alternately, and the game also fell into a stalemate. At this time, Wang Dalin noticed that Olajuwon had grabbed 5 rebounds without saying anything, and couldn't help but be surprised. Damn it! Isn¡¯t this possible? For this mission, all five statistics of mine must be higher than the "Three Heroes". If any one of the statistics is lower than anyone else, the mission will be considered a failure It seems that I can no longer happily compete with Carter! Wang Dalin suddenly woke up and immediately shifted his attention from the crazy offense to collecting data more comprehensively. On the offensive end, he came to the high position to provide support, and on the defensive end, he also paid more attention to protecting backcourt rebounds. After the first quarter, Wang Dalin scored 11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. His opponent Carter scored 12 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Olajuwon had 6 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, and Davis had 4 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Fortunately, the "Three Heroes" on the opposite side did not score any steals, so Wang Dalin was not too nervous. His current steal ability value is only 59, averaging only 0.9 steals per game. Whether he can complete this task depends mostly on whether he can lead in steals Carter has averaged 1.5 steals per game this season. ! The game continued. In the second quarter, Wang Dalin only rested for about 3 minutes before he couldn't wait to get back on the field. During this period, Davis led the second team and played very well. He also made a lot of personal gains, and his personal data has increased. It reached 9 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. Fortunately, Robinson, Williams and Joan Barry in the Pistons' second team all played well, and the Pistons kept clinging to the score. Wang Dalin immediately started to attack with the ball after coming on the court. Davis and Jerome Williams took turns switching defenses but could not limit his breakthrough. Moreover, he also sent a steal while defending Jerome Williams. , this is really an unexpected surprise! Olajuwon continued to show his strength on the offensive end. His steps under the basket were so weird. Ben was shaken by him twice and then easily completed a layup. During the period when Wang Dalin was absent due to injury, in the game between the Pistons and the Spurs, Duncan defeated Big Bunsheng in this way. It can only be said that "Big Dream"'s moves were even more gorgeous. Fortunately, Ben is never too stubborn to take the initiative to attack, so Olajuwon, who ranks first in the history of blocked shots, did not get a single block at halftime. This is a "unfortunate blessing". . If the Pistons' main center is a player with good inside offensive capabilities, even if he is as strong as O'Neal, he will probably be blocked by "Big Dream" in 20 minutes It's not like O'Neal was not beaten by Olaju back then. Overwhelmed! The "three heroes" of the Raptors gradually came into their own, and the defensive pressure on Wang Dalin, Hamilton and Ben began to increase. Carlisle immediately called a timeout and specially arranged defensive tactics. For Davis, Wang Dalin's single defense is enough, but Olajuwon and Carter obviously cannot be defended by one person, so Carlisle arranged for everyone to play a regional defense. ??To deal with players like them who like to break into the inside, a pure zone defense is obviously more effective than a "mixed zone defense". The effect of this adjustment is indeed immediate. Not only is Olajuwon's inside offense blocked by the Raptors, but Carter's breakthrough is not so easy. After halftime, Wang Dalin "scored" 19 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 block and 1 steal. Not only did he fill up his own data column, but his efficiency on both offense and defense was good. RaptorsBreaking three milestone records in a row is undoubtedly the best result for him. In fact, after he completed this task, he felt that the difficulty of this task was not as abnormal as he imagined. After all, he was not required to lead the team to win while leading the data. Olajuwon made 12 of 19 shots in this game and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 30 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. He really showed the style of "Peak Dream". Carter made 13 of 22 shots from the field, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 33 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal. He was indeed worthy of his reputation as one of the "four major shooting guards". Davis made 8 of 16 shots from the field, plus 6 of 8 free throws, scoring 22 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block. He is very qualified as a second-in-command. When the "Big Three" of the Raptors combined to score 85 points, 32 rebounds, 16 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, which team in the entire NBA can defeat them? It has to be said that the Pistons only lost by 3 points, which can be regarded as a glorious defeat Just like Lu Bu in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" had no choice but to run away when facing the three heroes, Wang Dalin "cannot defeat six hands with two fists" , isn¡¯t this very reasonable? After returning to the locker room after the game, Wang Dalin silently opened the system while taking a shower and received the task reward. This time, he added 10 points each for in-place dunk, cut-in dunk and bounce. He failed to draw the "Dream" S-level star skill "Dream Dance". ¡±, I don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s a loss or a profit. But Wang Dalin was already very satisfied. Originally, he had even thought that this mission could not be completed, and if he could complete it, he would make a lot of money. Besides, he still has a reward of 55,000 points. How much should he increase after this wave of hits? At present, he has a total of 55,400 points including inventory, so he started this wave of points addition. He first used 33,600 points to increase the outside defense to 85 to reach the current upper limit, then used 16,200 points to increase the steals to 79, and then used 4,800 points to increase the inside defense to 70. There is no use saving the remaining 800 points. Used to add 1 defensive rebound point. With the mission rewards and this series of point-adding operations, Wang Dalin's improvement was not small. His comprehensive ability value also instantly increased by 2 points to 88 Among the many A-level stars in the NBA, Wang Dalin can almost do it. Ranked into the strongest group! Of course, since he has the "force system", his real combat power is now more than that of an A-level star (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 157 Phenomenal Star (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After Wang Dalin finally finished taking a shower, Carlisle hurriedly invited him to attend the post-match press conference. Actually, Wang Dalin didn¡¯t want to appear here. Although he scored incredible statistics tonight, he lost the game after all. He could guess with his feet what kind of questions the reporters would ask. Sure enough, a reporter from Toronto asked: "Darling Wang, tonight you refreshed your regular season single-game scoring record and scored an unprecedented 50+ triple-double. What do you think of your personal data? What's more important, is it more important for the team to win the game?" Wang Dalin smacked his lips and smiled: "Of course winning the game is more important. It's a pity that we couldn't do this tonight!" Amid all the surprised eyes, the reporter sat down dejectedly. ?Perhaps other reporters despise this guy? ???????????????????????? At this time, shouldn¡¯t everyone discuss Darling-Wang¡¯s 50+ triple-double? Why bother mentioning the result of the game? Compared with such a great individual performance, is the outcome of a mere regular season game important? On the other side of the long table sat Raptors head coach Lenny Wilkens, Carter, and Olajuwon. The reporters quickly turned their fire on them. "Coach Lanny, how would you evaluate Darling King's performance tonight?" "Haha, he is an outstanding young man. I am very happy to enjoy this scene in my lifetime. Although they lost tonight, I want to say that even Michael cannot get a triple-double scoring 50+ points in a single game. This It¡¯s really incredible¡­¡± The NBA's first "Thousand Victory Coach" was full of praise for Wang Dalin's personal performance. He even used the words "phenomenal" and "epic" to describe Wang Dalin's incredible performance. As tonight's opponent, Carter of course also praised Wang Dalin's performance: "Darling Wang is undoubtedly a phenomenal star. His personal abilities are very comprehensive, and he is omnipotent on the offensive end! In fact, I I really don¡¯t want to admit it, but I have to admit that the player I least want to face tonight is Darling King! It¡¯s very difficult every time I defend him. He can always complete shots from all angles, but I can¡¯t. There¡¯s nothing he can do!¡± "Big Dream" Olajuwon was finally able to participate in a post-game press conference, so he naturally had to have a good time Speaking of which, it seemed like a long time ago that he was qualified to participate in a post-game press conference last time. ? "Darling Wang is a genius, there is no doubt about it! Seeing his performance tonight, I seem to have gone back more than ten years ago, when Michael was also so talented! If I were to say who has the potential I think the only ones who could beat me at my peak were Michael back then and King Darling now!¡± What is Olajuwon¡¯s status? What weight does his evaluation carry? This puts Wang Dalin on an equal footing with Jordan! Early the next morning, "Sports Illustrated" published a special issue. The entire publication was full of news and various in-depth analysis articles about Wang Dalin's 50+ triple-double score in a single game last night. ESPN TV station followed suit immediately, and they immediately made a special program, which was broadcast on TV that night on January 16th. This interview program invited retired NBA star "Magic" Earvin Johnson, "Essence of Human Movies" Dominic Wilkins, "Dr. J" Julius Erving, "Sky Hook" Kary Abdul-Jabbar and "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell. Wang Dalin also saw this grand occasion through the TV screen Good guy! To be able to invite these heavyweight legendary superstars, espn TV station has really spent a lot of money! For Wang Dalin¡¯s performance that can be recorded in history, the five legendary superstars expressed their own opinions without hesitation in praising it. The wrinkled old Russell couldn't suppress his excitement and kept gesturing with his hands when he spoke: "Actually, I have been paying attention to this young man as early as last season when he became the youngest triple-double. I have to say, what a terrible young man! In our era, even for a genius like Wilt, it would not be easy to score a triple-double of 50+ points in a single game, and Wilt really didn't do it. Pass!" The expression of ¡°Dr. It can¡¯t be done!¡± "The Essence of Human Movies" also laughed and said: "Yes, this is really crazy. I think I am just like Coach Lanny last night. I should be lucky to be able toBut the Pistons still had the last laugh, because they had more people who played well! Wang Dalin didn¡¯t take too many shots in this game. He put more energy into rebounding and interior defense. He scored 21 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals. Hamilton made 12 of 22 shots from the field, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 8 of 9 free throws. He scored 34 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. He was the sharpest player on the Pistons that night. sword! "Second brother" Billups did not perform well under Cassel's restrictions, only delivering 11 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. However, the "eldest brother" scored 11 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks. The performance is passable. Coupled with the outstanding performance of Robinson, Williams and others, the Pistons won this victory without any danger, and once again won three consecutive victories. It is worth mentioning the new member of the team Raf Alston. This substitute point guard known as the "King of Street Ball" finally made his debut in this game. He scored 5 points and 3 assists in 11 minutes, and his performance was so-so. Wang Dalin knew that this man's potential was much more than that. At his peak, he was fully capable of serving as the starting point guard for some weak teams in the NBA Later, he was teammates with Yao Ming for several seasons. It can be said that he was a good player around Yao Ming. A good helper. On January 23, the Pistons will face the challenge of the Western Conference powerhouse Timberwolves at home. While Wang Dalin was absent due to injury, the Pistons had already lost to the Timberwolves on the road. If they lose again, they will be double-killed by the Timberwolves this season. Therefore, even though Wang Dalin knew that the Timberwolves team coached by Flip Saunders was very good, he still strongly stated at the pre-game press conference that the Pistons would definitely win this game. Faced with Wang Dalin¡¯s provocation, how could ¡°Wolf King¡± Garnett give in? This guy said at the press conference that he will definitely lead the Timberwolves to defeat the Pistons tonight, and he will also "repair Wang Dalin well" on the court. Garnett is quite confident in saying this. In addition to him, they also have Joe Smith, the "No. 1 pick" in 1995, and Wally Szebia, an outstanding shooter who is very hopeful to be selected for the All-Star team this season. gram. There is a saying, if the three of them were all in their prime, they would be the "Big Three"! Taking into account Garnett's historically top assist defense ability and Szczerbiak's historically top shooting ability, their "Big Three" are even more reasonable in terms of adaptability of their play styles than the Heat's "Big Three" in later generations. . It¡¯s just a pity After experiencing a serious injury, Joe Smith is no longer at his peak! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 158 The Wolf King¡¯s Roar (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Some people say that when Kevin Garnett was a rookie, he performed a stunt for his teammates by jumping off the spot and touching the top of the backboard In fact, he couldn't do it at all! And not only can he not do it, no one in the entire league can do it! Later, a TV station specially recorded a program and invited Dwight Howard, a young center who can take off and kiss the basket, to test on the spot what height he could reach during his run-up As a result, Howard "only touched the ball". At "381cm, he has gone all out. According to Howard's pre-draft physical test report, he is 6 feet 9 inches (206cm) barefoot, 6 feet 10 inches (208cm) wearing shoes, weighs 240 pounds (109kg), and has a wingspan of 7 feet 4 inches 5 (224.79cm). He reaches a height of 9 feet 3 inches 5 (283.21cm) in place Based on this, it can be calculated that the vertical height of his run-up jump reaches about 98cm, which is indeed very impressive! Where is Garnett? Due to the age, it is true that his physical measurement data cannot be found, but his height is 212cm barefoot, 215cm tall with shoes, wingspan 226cm, and weight 114kg Of course, this is his weight after he gained weight later, so these data are relatively credible. of. Compared with Howard, Garnett definitely has an advantage in terms of height and wingspan, but fans who have watched them play will know that Howard's jumping ability is definitely better than Garnett, so Howard goes all out to touch the high distance. The top edge of the backboard is still 14cm, and the gap should be even greater for Garnett. The NBA is such a world, it is a world there will always be rumors that seem to be true! For example, Wang Dalin, who is about to play against the Timberwolves, is now generally believed to be higher than Garnett. In fact he is really similar to Garnett now. If you include the advantage of wingspan, his run-up touch is higher. Possibly even higher than Garnett. After all, his jumping ability has just improved by 10 points. As a big player with a height of over 210cm, his jumping of 83 can already be regarded as a "spring man". About to face the historical superstar "Wolf King" Garnett directly, Wang Dalin was not only not afraid at all, but also quite excited. Having traveled back from early 2021, he naturally knows how powerful Garnett is. He won the championship in the 2007-2008 season. Although the FMVP was awarded to Pierce, until 2021, many fans are still debating who is the boss of that team. He has won 1 regular season mvp, 1 best defensive player, 4 times in the first team of the best team, 3 times in the second team, 2 times in the third team, 9 times in the first team of the best defensive team, 3 times in the second team, 4 times Won the rebounding title three times and was selected to the All-Star team 15 times. ? ?Everyone knows these, but let¡¯s talk about something that everyone probably doesn¡¯t know He has seven seasons with more than 3,000 minutes of playing time in his career. Only 14 players in NBA history have done this. He has scored at least 25,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 5,000 assists in his career. Apart from him, only "Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and "The Postman" Karl Malone have achieved this level of career data in NBA history. He is one of the only two players in history who can have 1,500 steals and 1,500 blocks at the end of his career. The other one is Hakeem Olajuwon! He averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds in 9 seasons in his career, and only 9 players in NBA history can do this. He was able to grab more than 500 rebounds before the age of 20. Only 6 players in NBA history have done this. He has scored more than 2,500 points and 1,500 rebounds in the playoffs during his career, and only 14 players in NBA history can do this. Of course, the most noteworthy thing is that his career salary income is approximately US$336 million (before tax). In other words, if you include 1,462 regular season games, 143 playoff games and 14 All-Star appearances, his career salary income is approximately US$336 million (before tax). The average career salary per game is approximately US$207,000. Therefore, based on personal data, personal honors and team honors, Garnett should firmly rank among the top five power forwards in history, and it is not impossible to even rank among the top three. Compared with the "cheating version" Olajuwon of the Raptors last time, Wang Dalin feels that Garnett may be more difficult to deal with at this time. He has just entered the peak period of his career. And Garnett, who was in his prime, had won the regular season MVP. There is a saying in the NBA that everyone agrees with, that is - "The No. 1 pick in the draft may be a parallel import, but there is absolutely no parallel import in the MVP!" During the pre-game warm-up, Garnett took the initiative to come over and say hello to the Pistons players. After all, Billups was his teammate last season and the relationship was not bad. But when he walked in front of Wang Dalin, Garnett's eyes immediately showed undisguised murderous intent. &nbs??Long frame attack. I have to say that his technical type is indeed very similar to Wang Dalin. Wang Dalin lowered his center of gravity and stepped back slightly. This distance and his height and wingspan can still interfere with Garnett's jump shot in time. Garnett took a tentative step with the ball, and then suddenly dribbled to the right to break through. Wang Dalin followed up with a sliding step. Garnett made an emergency stop and immediately made a pull-up jumper. Wang Dalin sent a "broad eye" "Dang!" His line of sight was blocked. Garnett's shot was obviously too light. The basketball hit the edge of the basket and bounced high. Ben struggled to block Nesterovich and took off the defensive rebound. . "Haha, Kevin, what's wrong with you? This shot was so short, did you not have dinner today?" Wang Dalin certainly would not let go of this opportunity to ridicule Garnett. Garnett glared at him fiercely, said nothing, turned around and ran towards his own half. Wang Dalin smiled slightly You are still trying to play "death stare" with me. Don't you know that this trick is Kobe's exclusive stunt? Billups dribbled to the frontcourt, and Wang Dalin took the initiative to set a pick-and-roll for him. The "second brother" quickly rushed to the basket. Facing Garnett's defense, he "looked back at the moon" and just passed the ball to his follower. into the hands of Wang Dalin. "While Billups was blocking Garnett, Wang Dalin didn't hesitate, he jumped up and picked up the basket with one hand, and the basketball hit the frame. ? 4:0, the Pistons scored two goals in the opening game. Garnett was a little angry. Wang Dalin scored the goal too easily. He was blocked by Billups and couldn't interfere, but what were his teammates doing? Defense Do you have to count on me every time? The Timberwolves attacked again, and Garnett asked for the ball directly from the high post. In his opinion rather than turning around after receiving the ball with his back, it is better to directly receive the ball and attack facing the frame. When catching the ball, Wang Dalin stretched out his hand to interfere, and Garnett finally managed to hold the ball firmly. If he didn¡¯t have to go all out to deal with Wang Dalin, he would definitely give Piller a "death stare" As for your passing, I can pass it more accurately than you with my eyes closed! Piller himself is a combo guard. His main position is not a point guard, but a shooting guard. Coach Sanders mainly considered that the Pistons' starting point guard Billups' height and strength advantage was too obvious, so he put the original starting point guard Trill Brandon on the bench. He also hoped that Pillar He can rely on his height of 193cm and weight of 94kg to suppress Billups. If Brandon, who is 180cm tall and weighs 82kg, is really allowed to come up, Billups won't just crush him? Compared with Brandon, who averages more than 8 assists per game, Piller's passing skills are indeed a bit stretched, and his ball-handling skills are far inferior to Brandon. Wang Dalin is still far back. He knows that the stability of Garnett's "iron-blooded jump shot" is actually not very high at least not at this period. Therefore, instead of being rushed to the inside by this guy with explosive physical fitness, it is better to let him make a mid-range shot. Anyway, he can provide timely interference (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com I'm stuck... I'm really sorry!

He¡¯s coming¡­He¡¯s coming¡­The ¡°Wolf King¡±¡¯s ¡°iron-blooded jump shot¡± is finally here! Wang Dalin quickly pounced on him, raising his long arms to block him. But Garnett raised his hand very high when shooting a jumper, and leaned back slightly With his shooting height, almost no one in the entire NBA league could block him head-on, and Wang Dalin could only provide some interference. . "Shua" The basketball drew a very high arc and accurately fell into the center of the basket, almost not even touching the net. ? 4:2, the Timberwolves finally scored their second attack. Although the Timberwolves do not completely rely on Garnett on the offensive end this season, he is the spiritual leader of this team and their most powerful weapon on the offensive end. Although Garnett seems to be very selfless in his playing, he does not often score 30 or 40 points in a single game, but once he exerts his strength, his offensive firepower is still very strong. Especially his high-post jump shot, which almost ignores defense. People who defend him can usually only hope that he has poor touch From the point of view of being difficult to defend, his offensive method is inexplicable. The degree is even better than Jordan's fadeaway jumper back then, because he is much taller than Jordan! Wang Dalin had a very strange feeling because he seemed to see himself when he was defending Garnett's shot Now he can probably understand what Carter said at the press conference last time. "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that the player I least want to play against is Darling King Whenever I defend him, it will be very difficult. He can always complete shots from all angles, and I But there¡¯s nothing we can do about him!¡± Yes, that¡¯s what Carter said at the time. How to defend Garnett? Orhow should I defend myself? Wang Dalin couldn't help but search for the answer in his mind. As a time traveler and a senior fan, Wang Dalin certainly knows Even Garnett has been restricted by others. For example, Chuck Hayes of the Rockets once He was very embarrassed to guard him in every game. How did "Hai Ye" defend Garnett at that time? By the way it means strengthening the physical confrontation, so that he is always under physical confrontation from the moment he catches the ball. It is difficult to turn around, and it is difficult to maintain the stability of the body every time he takes a shot. Compared with Garnett's size, it is almost impossible for Hayes, a short and stocky power forward, to defend Garnett's jump shot head-on. Therefore, he did not start from this aspect at all, but used physical confrontation harshly. Work hard. Although Garnett looks tough, in fact his physical strength has never been too strong, otherwise he would not have insisted on this small forward style of play. Compared with Tim Duncan at the same time, "hard special" doesn't seem to be that hard? Looking back, it was the Pistons' turn to attack. This time Billups made the No. 4 tactical signal, which meant that Wang Dalin and Hamilton were going to give him a double pick-and-roll screen. After the screen, the two had to cover each other again, and then cross-running. Billups decided to pass the ball according to the situation. Give it to someoneor directly attack the frame yourself. This tactic was specially designed by Carlisle based on the fact that the Pistons players are good at shooting. If this team was still the Pistons team in history, Carlisle would not have designed such a tactic anyway, because Stackhouse , Williams and Atkins' shooting is indeed not as stable as Wang Dalin's. This time, Wang Dalin was followed by Garnett around the screen. Hamilton got rid of the defense and successfully received the ball. Then he immediately half-turned and completed a jump shot. Unfortunately, the shot missed a little. "Dang!" The ball hit the rim and popped out. Big Ben jumped high and grabbed the offensive rebound over Nesterovich's head, and then quickly threw it to Billups who had returned to the outside. "Pay attention to protecting the rebound!" Garnett shouted. Obviously, this ball is Nesterovich's fault. As a blue-collar center, defense and rebounding are his "job" If a blue-collar player can't even do his job well, Why do you want to gain a foothold in the team? Although this guy¡¯s annual salary this season is only US$1.73 million, who could have known that in the original time and space, this guy signed a six-year, US$42 million contract with the Spurs in 2003? A blue-collar center who averaged 11.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game was worth so much money in 2003. You can imagine that timeAfter reacting, no one from the Timberwolves responded to the ball in time. Wang Dalin took off directly from the free throw line and performed a flying one-handed tomahawk dunk. 8:2, the Pistons scored another 2 points. Coach Sanders quickly called a timeout The Pistons became more and more aggressive after the start. If the Timberwolves don't adjust their status in time, they may be beaten. "Rasu, do you remember what I told you before the game? Stay in position and protect the rebounds You actually let a guy 5 inches shorter than you grab 2 offensive rebounds on your head, you What the hell are you thinking?" As soon as the players returned to the bench and sat down, Sanders immediately yelled at Nesterovich, "If you are not ready to play, I don't mind replacing you immediately! " "I'm sorry, Coach Sanders!" Nesterovich knew that it was indeed his fault, so he had an extremely correct attitude in admitting his mistake. "Kevin, I need you to hold the ball in a high position and provide support. We can't play alone like this anymore!" Sanders turned his head and looked at his most proud disciple and said. "Okay, I get it!" Garnett responded gruffly. Since Sanders came to coach the Timberwolves, it only took him one year to bring this weak team, ranked 12th in the Western Conference, into the playoffs, and he has reached the playoffs almost every year. , so Garnett still has great respect for his mentor. "And Wally, pay attention to using the screen to make more runs. I need you to hit those open shots!" After explaining to Garnett, Sanders will naturally not forget his other proud disciple. Although this disciple Just third grade. "Okay, I know!" Szczerbiak's answer was the same as Garnett's. There was no expression on his handsome face Well, as expected, excellent pitchers are killers of expressions! On the other side of the bench, Carlisle was also giving instructions to his disciples. "Wang, you have a good effect against Garnett, but I don't want you to go head-to-head with him at the beginning of the game, so I need you to go to a high position to coordinate as much as possible and leave the offense to Richard and Kerry. Fred and the others, Richard still has an advantage over Wally!" "Ben, those few offensive rebounds you just did well, you must keep up! Others should also try their best to grab offensive rebounds. If you master the rebounds, you can control the whole court, do you understand?" "Chauncy, don't be afraid of that guy Anthony. He's just taller than you, but he's not as fast as you. You can try to overtake him!" "Richard, you are our most advantageous person on the offensive end. Use the method you are most familiar with to defeat Wally. His defense is as bad as a piece of shit!" "Clifford, if you just fight like this, I'm most assured of you" ¡­¡­ After the timeout, players from both sides appeared again. The Timberwolves sent a baseline ball. After Piller dribbled to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Garnett in the high post. Wang Dalin is still pressing closely against Garnett. He has already guessed that Garnett will appear in the high post to provide support. However, Garnett has a strong desire to attack tonight, so he does not expect Garnett to pass the ball. For teammates, you still have to guard him tightly. On the other side, Szczerbiak had already used Smith's screen to run out of the open space, and Garnett immediately passed the ball (remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 160 I, Barkley, can I follow you? (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! "Whoops!" Szczerbiak's outside three-pointer shot up and down, and Hamilton was completely thrown away by him this time. When he had completed the shot, Hamilton was still blocked two meters away! "Great job!" Garnett and Szczerbiak high-fived in celebration. He was so satisfied with this little brother. ??Originally in time and space, Szczerbiak would be selected for the All-Star lineup this season. He averaged 18.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game this season. This kind of data performance was originally a bit inadequate, but the Timberwolves have a good record, and many coaches like him as a player who does not occupy the ball, so he is favored by coaches of various teams. Selected into the All-Star reserve team. If his defense can rank first among outside players in the league, maybe he will be more like the "Soup God" of later generations. After all, his three-pointers are indeed more accurate than Hamilton. Looking back, Hamilton on the Pistons also ran out of the open space and scored a goal in the same way as Szczerbiak. When Wang Dalin and Garnett came to the high post to provide support, the second scorers of the two teams began to show their strength. In the next few attacks, they frequently caught and shot, and their shooting percentages were very good. However, in comparison, Szczerbiak made two three-pointers, while Hamilton made all mid-range shots, so as a few minutes passed, the Pistons' 5-point lead gradually evaporated. "No, it will be too much of a disadvantage to continue playing like this!" Wang Dalin made up his mind. In the next attack, he suddenly made a step-back three-pointer after receiving the ball in the high post. Garnett misjudged the ball. He thought Wang Dalin would pass the ball to his teammates, so when Wang Dalin retreated to the three-point line, he did not step forward to defend in time, which was equivalent to giving Wang Dalin a free pass. An open shot opportunity. "Mine!" Garnett did not shirk responsibility and told his teammates that he would take the blame. Wang Dalin was running back, and when he heard this sentence, he almost couldn't help laughing. Doesn¡¯t this look too much like some of the people on the domestic field fields? Someone once made a very interesting statistic - the behaviors you hate most on the field! Among them, there are those who frequently make mistakes on the court and then shout "mine" frequently, which ranks quite high Well, I believe many friends have personal experience! (Lao Wang: I will never admit that I am this kind of person!) Looking back, Garnett also returned the favor to Wang Dalin. This time he made another "iron-blooded jump shot". Wang Dalin tried his best to defend, but the interference was really limited. It happened that Garnett had a good touch tonight. After making the shot, Garnett hit his chest hard with his right hand, raised his head and let out a heart-rending roar. This roar was completely drowned out by the boos from the home fans at the "Palace Arena of Auburn Hills" and did not cause any waves. Wang Dalin was so embarrassed that he almost had cancer. This is the "Roar of the Wolf King", right? Is this considered an A-level star skill? Can this stuff really shocking Can people "decrease slightly in a short period of time?" The system is not a joke, right? At this moment, Wang Dalin suddenly felt that even if the game could complete the task, the reward would not be so good. The first quarter reached the transition period, and the coaches of both sides began to frequently deploy their troops. The Pistons sent Williams, Damon Jones, Joan Barry and Alston, and the Timberwolves also replaced Trill Brandon, Felipe Lopez, Lauren Woods and Sam .Mitchell. The Pistons were already 4 points behind before all the main players came off the court, but the competition between the second lineups of both sides undoubtedly gave the Pistons the upper hand, and they quickly caught up and successfully overtook the lead. In comparison, the Pistons' second team is obviously stronger. The "Best Sixth Man" Williams alone has given them a headache, not to mention that Barry, Jones and Alston are not fuel-efficient lamps. . At the end of the first quarter, Ben also took a rest. The Pistons played with a full substitute lineup to face the Timberwolves' second lineup, which was still led by Joe Smith. They actually had the upper hand Smith left the game midway through the first quarter. There was a short break of more than three minutes. It has to be said that the No. 1 pick in 1995 is no longer at his peak. In the second season of his career, he averaged 18.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals per game. After that, his performance never exceeded this season.??Qiao will definitely sign a contract with me for your sake, at least a 10-day short contract, right? " "10-day short contract?Brother, is this what you are pursuing? Doesn't your bet stipulate that 10-day short contract is not allowed?" "I also want to sign for one season, but you also know I have retired for a long time. Look at how fat I am now. How can Joe sign a one-season contract with me?" "You don't have to worry about this, just tell me, if the Pistons are willing to sign a contract with you until the end of this season, can you swear to reduce your weight to less than 260 pounds before the playoffs?" "III swear, I will lose my weight to less than 260 pounds before the playoffs!" "Okay, I'll call Qiao right now, and you come with me to see him!" ¡­¡­ In fact, neither Wang Dalin nor Barkley knew that just last night, when Barkley and Smith made a bet on the national live broadcast, Dumas had already sat in front of the TV and watched this scene. Dumas was a little dismissive of this at first, thinking that people like Barkley would dare to make any bet. But then I thought about it, if the Pistons really signed this fat guy like Barkleyit would be a good idea, right? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 161 Dazui joins (the third update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! I guess as long as you are a basketball fan, you will not be unfamiliar with the name Charles Barkley, because apart from never winning an NBA championship, this guy is almost a perfect basketball player! 2-time Olympic men's basketball champion, 5-time All-NBA first team, 5-time All-NBA second-team, 1-time All-NBA third-team, 1-time regular season mvp, 1-time All-Star game mvp, 1-time rebounding champion, 1-time First-team All-Rookie, one of the top 50 superstars in NBA history the honors he has received can simply be described as "carrying volume"! The height is only 198cm or the result of "water injection". In this way, Barkley still fought in the NBA's crowded interior for 16 seasons, averaging 22.1 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. The shooting percentage is as high as 54.1%! Many young fans can only analyze how good Barkley was back then through this series of data. But as a senior fan, Wang Dalin had watched Barkley's game live in his previous life. It was Barkley's first season with the Rockets. Although he was already 34 years old, he was still among the top five power forwards in the league, averaging 19.2 points, 13.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 assists per game. Block shots "Flying pigs in the air", a group that is still fierce even though they are older! Therefore, Wang Dalin is still looking forward to Barkley joining. He believes that even if this guy cannot reach the weight loss goal of 260 pounds (117kg) in the end, as long as he can reduce his weight to around 270 pounds (122.5kg), he will definitely be better than he is now. Mickey Moore is stronger. Wang Dalin is so optimistic about Barkley, of course Dumars thinks more highly of him. They have played against each other many times in the past, what else do they not understand about each other? It is true that Barkley has retired for more than a year. During this time, the guy has dived into donuts and cannot extricate himself. He is nearly 30kg heavier than when he retired and has many old injuries. But Jordan can come back. If Barkley is playing so well, why can't he? As long as he is willing to work hard to lose weight, at least being a substitute is more than enough, right? Some people say how can Barkley¡¯s physical talent compare with Jordan? And even though the "old gangster" has retired, he still pays attention to the management of his body. He still has six-pack abs even when he takes off his clothes. As for Barkley he is just a fat guy! In fact, those who know athletes will know that although Barkley was bruised and bruised back then, he did not have any serious injuries in the true sense. Moreover, retiring for more than a year gave him a rare time to recuperate. His injuries should have been cured long ago. It's over. As long as he returns to form seriously and plays for more than ten minutes every game, it will probably not cause his old injury to relapse. Based on Barkley¡¯s strength, even if he can only recover 50% of his skills, he can beat more than half of the power forwards in the league today! Therefore, when Wang Dalin said on the phone that he would bring Barkley to meet him, Dumas immediately agreed readily. To be honest, he had not seen Barkley, his "old friend", in person for a long time. There is only one problem before Dumars now, and that is if they can reach a signing agreement with Barkley, the Pistons will have to lay off someone because their roster is full of 15 players. January 10 has passed. Even if anyone on the team signs a non-guaranteed contract, they must be forced to convert it to a guaranteed contract. So now the Pistons must lay off someone no matter what to make room for them. Come and sign Barkley. The two sides met in the general manager's office of Dumas. Dumas and Barkley, two old friends, were extremely polite to each other. Wang Dalin seemed to have become a redundant person on the side. The two of them were polite for a long time, and Wang Dalin finally took the opportunity to interject: "Okay, I don't need to say more about what you two are here to talk about today, right? Let's start quickly, I'll wait until the flowers fade. !¡± Dumas smiled and said: "Okay, let's start talking! Charles, don't you ask your agent to come over for this kind of thing?" Barkley chuckled and said: "Let's talk about our intentions today, and I'll let him come for detailed negotiations! Joe, I just asked directly, will the Pistons provide me with a contract? You know I'm not talking about a 10-day short contract." Contracts are that kind of thing to fool people!¡± Dumas smiled and said: "Charles, in your current state, how much success do you think you still have before you retire?" Buckley also smiled and said: "Nowit's at most 20%, it can't be more!" Dumas smiled and said: "Twenty percent? Hey, Charles, aren't you afraid that I will reject you directly?" "Afraid, of course I'm afraid!" Barkley laughed, "But I can't just sign a contractHe scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals, including 3 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line, completely suppressing his opponent Billups. Wang Dalin tried his best to compete with Miller, but his touch was just average. He made 8 of 19 shots from the field, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 22 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 block. . The star player lost against Biao, and the performance of other Pistons players can only be described as average. Not to mention the "second brother" pulling his hips, the "eldest brother" did not show his dominance in the paint in this game and only grabbed 8 rebounds. Hamilton scored 14 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist. He only made 6 of 17 shots, which was even tougher than Wang Dalin. Sothe Pistons, who had just won seven consecutive victories two days ago, lost to the Magic, currently ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference. Some fans joked that it was precisely because of the addition of Barkley, the god of plague, that the Pistons immediately suffered a defeat. Barkley thought this fan must be Smith's father "Mom Xipi! I didn't even play, does it have anything to do with me if the team loses?" Wang Dalin and Carlisle were quite optimistic, but they only lost one game, and their opponent was the Eastern Powerhouse Magic. The Pistons only lost 7 points in the end when all members were in poor condition, which proved that their strength was not question. On February 2, the Pistons players gathered their spirits and came to Cleveland, where they will challenge the Cavaliers away from home. This is a more depressed city than Detroit. Walking in the city center during the day is like entering a ghost town. It looks deserted. In such a huge city, there are only two or three tall buildings standing alone on the edge of Lake Erie. Even if you occasionally see a few people on the street, most of them are black homeless people. They either beg you or take out a pistol or a knife to rob you ¡­ This is not the first time Wang Dalin has come to Cleveland, but every time he comes here he feels uncomfortable all over. He just wants to finish the game as soon as possible and leave here Well, maybe in the future, LeBron James will leave here in 2010. Is this the main reason for Miami? In the evening game, the Pistons' offense was very powerful, but the Cavaliers' offense was also surprisingly smooth. Under the leadership of the "American version of Karen Mok" Andre Miller, they could always find easy shooting opportunities, and their shooting percentage was very high. high. However, it is obvious that the Pistons are still superior in skills and their hard power is obviously stronger, so the two sides went through a battle. In the end, the Pistons defeated the Cavaliers 115:107 and had the last laugh. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 162 The All-Stars are coming (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After returning from Cleveland, the Pistons players were surrounded by hundreds of enthusiastic fans as soon as they got off the plane. These fans held placards high and chanted the word "Vote King" in unison. It turns out that the major media have just released the final results of this year's All-Star voting. Wang Dalin ranked first with 2,515,462 votes and successfully won this year's All-Star voting king. To celebrate this event, these fans made a special and organized trip to the airport to greet Wang Dalin and the Pistons players. This was great. The Pistons players were excited when they heard the news, especially Wang Dalin's three "adopted brothers". They encouraged everyone to surround Wang Dalin, and the team bus drove directly to the "Auburn Hills Palace" Arena". Good guy! It was a lively journey along the way. The Pistons' bus led the way, followed by more than 200 fans' cars. Everyone sang and danced all the way to the "Palace Arena of Auburn Hills". When they arrived at the place, Wang Dalin and the others were shocked as soon as they got off the car. It turned out that the number of cars following them had increased to more than 300! People usually only hold a parade after the team wins the championship. This night, Detroit fans and Pistons players were unprepared and held a spontaneous celebration. Thousands of people sang and danced in the square in front of the "Palace Arena of Auburn Hills". They got speakers from nowhere, as well as a lot of beer, fried chicken, burgers and other food. The Pistons haven't had a viable superstar for too long, so the fans are so elated The last time was in 1995 and 1996, when Grant Hill was elected the All-Star vote winner twice. Wang Dalin is naturally very happy. He knows that he can be elected as the All-Star vote king mainly because of the strong support of domestic fans. However, among the more than 2.5 million votes, Detroit fans also contributed at least more than 500,000 votes! These fans really love themselves, and they are extremely proud that their team can have Wang Dalin, the superman balloon star in the current league. The celebration lasted until after three o'clock in the morning, and finally the Pistons players and many fans said goodbye. When parting, an old fan with all white hair and beard held Wang Dalin's hand. He was so excited that he didn't want to leave for a long time. Wang Dalin knew that this old man¡¯s name was John Krauss, a loyal fan who had been firmly supporting the Pistons for decades. Looking at the old man¡¯s white hair, Wang Dalin¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but feel moist, and he asked: ¡°Uncle John, it¡¯s already very late. Can I find someone to take you home?¡± Old John smiled heartily and said: "Darling, you don't have to worry about me, I can drive back by myself!" Wang Dalin squeezed his hand and said touchedly: "Thank you very much for supporting the Pistons over the years. We will definitely play well!" Old John stopped smiling and asked seriously: "Darling, this yearwill you lead us to the championship?" Wang Dalin solemnly promised him: "Don't worry, we will definitely win the championship!" Old John said excitedly: "Okay! As long as you say this, we all believe in you!" There were dozens of fans who had not left, all following him and shouting: "We all believe in you!" ¡­¡­ On February 5th, the Pistons faced a strong challenge from the 76ers at home. In this game, both teams played with the defensive intensity of the playoffs. Under high-intensity defense, the shooting percentage of the players on both sides dropped to around 30%. Wang Dalin¡¯s shooting percentage was also very low, but he continued to cause damage to the 76ers through breakthroughs. He made a total of 12 free throws at the free throw line in the game. For the 76ers, Iverson undoubtedly became the sharpest sword of the team. He made 31 crazy shots from inside and outside in the game. However, even with such a powerful offensive weapon, his shooting percentage in this game was very low. It was also pitifully low, hitting only 7 goals in 31 shots. In the final stage of the game, the two sides were furious. During a rebound fight, Mutombo elbowed Wang Dalin in the face, turning him into a one-eyed panda on the spot. "The fourth brother" was bullied, and the older brother naturally couldn't just sit idly by. Ben gave Iverson a slap in the face in kind of tit-for-tat, and even the man dribbling the ball was slapped out of the bottom line. Iverson fell heavily into the crowd of reporters. Although he was disgraced, fortunately he was not injured. "Second Brother" made a breakthrough and went straight to the basket. Although "Uncle Mu" slapped him with a big hat and his layup flew away, he jumped into the opponent's arms and gave "Uncle Mu" a hard elbow. I almost hit him on the spot??This year's strength is not weak. If your Pistons meet them in the playoffs, it may be a disaster! " Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense, we have made an appointment to meet in the finals, see you there or not!" "Okay, see you there or not!" ¡­¡­ On February 9, Wang Dalin got up very early. He first went to the restaurant to have a nutritious breakfast, and then went to the hotel gym to exercise. As soon as he walked into the gym, Wang Dalin saw Kobe lifting the iron, and his whole body was soaked with sweat. Seeing this scene, Wang Dalin couldn't help but sigh He is indeed the hardest-working star in the NBA. It can be seen that Kobe can achieve great achievements beyond ordinary people, and it is natural for him! He walked aside silently, without disturbing Kobe, and started jogging on the treadmill. The two of them were practicing their own thing, and no one made a sound. Not long after, Daben walked in. When he saw Wang Dalin, he smiled and said: "Fourth brother, you are so unreasonable. You didn't even call me when you came to train! " Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Brother, didn't you drink too much last night? I thought I would let you sleep a little longer!" ??????????? Da Ben said proudly: ¡°That little bit of wine is just a splash of water for me. Even if it were doubled, I would still be able to get up and exercise this morning!¡± Kobe smiled slightly and said: "If you want to stay in good condition, it's best to drink less. In situations like last night, drink less if you can!" "That makes sense," Daben said with a smile. "Why is the fourth brother the most powerful in our team? It turns out it's because he never drinks!" Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but burst into tears Did I deliberately not drink? I'm not old enough to drink! In the afternoon, Wang Dalin came to the gym and practiced for a while, mainly to try out the three-point shooting. He was going to participate in the three-point shooting contest in the evening. He had never practiced in a three-point shooting contest like this before! He scored 20 out of 25 goals in the first round, 21 in the second round, 22 in the third round, and 20 in the fourth round In the seventh round, Wang Dalin felt so good that he made all 25 shots. , causing everyone in the stadium to cheer. Since he already knew that it felt good, Wang Dalin did not continue, bid farewell to everyone and went back to the hotel room to rest. At 20:00 that night, the All-Star Rookie Competition started first. Since Wang Dalin chose to withdraw, Jamal Crawford was selected as a replacement for this second-year team. The rookie team led by Pau Gasol was aggressive, but in the end the second-year team was better. Jason Richardson, the second-year small forward from Philadelphia, won the MVP of this rookie competition. After the rookie competition, the exciting three-point shooting contest finally kicked off (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 163 The Strongest Three-Point Shooting Contest in History (1) (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! As early as January 16, the NBA had announced the list of eight people participating in this year's three-point shooting contest. Among them, Ray Allen, the champion of last year's NBA three-point shooting contest, is the most eye-catching. Ray Allen made 10 consecutive shots in the second round of last year's Three-Point Contest, and finally narrowly defeated Peja Stojakovic of the Kings and won the first Three-Point Contest championship in his career. Among the eight participants in this year's three-point shooting competition, Ray Allen is also the only one who has won the championship in this event. Before this, four players had won the three-point shooting competition more than once. They are Kyle Larry Bird of the Special Team, Greg Hodges of the Bulls, Mark Price of the Cavaliers and Jeff Hornacek of the Jazz. Of course, Ray Allen hopes to become the fifth. His three-point shooting performance this season is still very good, with a total of 90 of 206 shots, with a shooting percentage of 43.7% But his opponents will not compare the championship trophy and 2 The $5,000 prize was given away! In addition to Ray Allen, the other seven participants in this three-point contest are Peja Stojakovic of the Kings, Wesley Persson of the Cavaliers, and Steve of the Mavericks. Nash, Magic's Mike Miller, Spurs' Steve Smith, Clippers' Quentin Richardson and Pistons' Wang Dalin. These seven people are not simple. Needless to say, Peja is one of them. Anyone who is a senior fan knows his accomplishments in three-pointers. Last year, he failed to perform well in the second round, which was why he unfortunately lost. This year, he made a comeback. Just come for the championship. The Cavaliers' Wesley Persson has made 67 of 142 three-pointers so far this season, with a shooting percentage of 47.2%. He averages 15.2 points per game and has now firmly established himself as the Cavaliers' starting shooting guard. This is the first time for the Spurs' Steve Smith to participate in the three-point contest. This season, he made 70 of 124 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 56.5%, temporarily ranking first in the league. Steve Nash of the Mavericks believes that Chinese fans are familiar with him. He is also the only point guard participating in this year's three-point contest. So far this season, Nash has made 79 of 173 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 45.7%. He averaged 18.9 points and 7.9 assists per game. Mike Miller and Quentin Richardson are both top shooters in the league in three-point shooting percentage, but they are far behind Wang Dalin. There is a saying that Wang Dalin is the one with the highest status among all the contestants in this three-point shooting contest. He is currently averaging 26.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 blocks and 0.9 steals per game. , the three-point shooting rate is as high as 48.1%. You read that right! Wang Dalin has made 116 of 241 three-pointers so far this season. He currently ranks first in the league in three-pointers made, 26 more three-pointers than Ray Allen, who ranks second. ball! As a player who has traveled back from the small ball era, Wang Dalin has shown very good three-point shooting ability as early as last season. This season, he has surpassed everyone in the number of three-point shots and hits. He didn't feel much at all. After all, he only made 116 three-pointers in most of the season. This was really insignificant compared to those players in the small ball era in later generations, but in this era, his performance can make everyone admire him. Discoloration. Because of his status as the boss of the Pistons, he is destined to be different from most players participating in the three-point shooting contest. The only one with a similar status to him is Ray Allen, the boss of the Bucks. ??Except for the two of them and Nash, the Mavericks' main point guard, the other contestants have basically been labeled as "shooters", even the current Peja is no exception. ¡­¡­ The lights in the "First United Center" arena in Philadelphia were brightly lit, and eight players came on the court to warm up. As soon as Peja pitched a ball, he turned to the staff and asked: "Are these new balls?" The staff member smiled and said: "Of course they are new balls. These balls are specially prepared for the three-point shooting contest!" After hearing this, Peja frowned at first, but soon smiled and said to the staff member: "Okay, thank you!" Wang Dalin asked curiously: "Peja, you asked him if it is a new ball. Is there any mystery?" Peja smiled and said: "We usually use old balls when we play games, because the old balls feel better and everyone is more accustomed to the old balls, so I just found out that these balls are new. It¡¯s comfortable, but it¡¯s okay now!¡± "Why?" Wang Dalin asked in confusion, "Shouldn't they replace us with old balls?" Peja laughed out loud and said: "Why do you need to replace the old ball? Now everyone uses new balls to participate in the competition, then?And he also continued this feeling to the second point, making another 5 shots. Just looking at this posture, Peja and Persson already had a bad feeling in their hearts Damn it! Isn't this guy too accurate? It seems that there is no escape from the playoff! It wasn¡¯t until the fourth goal at the third point that Wang Dalin finally missed, but he scored again on the following flower ball. After three points, he scored 17 points. Other contestants have already confirmed that Wang Dalin's score in the first round should be the first After all, with his touch tonight, the remaining two points totaled 10 goals. Reaching 6 points is a piece of cake! Wang Dalin stretched his hips a little at the fourth point, but he still scored 4 points due to the flower ball shot. As long as he scored 2 points at the last point, he could overtake Ray Allen and become the number one in the first round. ??In the three-point shooting competition, some people will be under great pressure because the previous player shot a high score, which eventually leads to their own abnormal performance and a low score. Such examples abound, and have happened many times in the history of the NBA All-Star Weekend, but obviously Wang Dalin is not this kind of person. He only missed one shot at the fifth point and ended up with 26 points. While winning first place in the first round, he also broke the record for the highest score in the Three-Point Contest set by Greg Hodges in 1986. . That year, Hodges scored 25 points in the three-point contest. This record stood for 16 years until 2002! The audience was completely excited. They witnessed the birth of a new record with their own eyes. This scene was much more shocking than when Larry Bird went to shout in front of his opponents before the game. Peja and Persson looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Isn¡¯t this so terrible? With 20 points, you can¡¯t directly advance to the second round? Has this ever happened in the history of the Three-Point Contest? Soon the host explained the answer to this question to the audience - "No!" That's right, since the NBA established the Three-Point Shootout Contest in 1986, there has never been a game in the past 16 years where someone who scored 20 points in the first round could not directly advance to the second round In fact, many times 20 points Already able to rank first in the first round! Wang Dalin was very calm, because he had watched the 2019 Three-Point Shootout Contest in his previous life. That time, both Danny Green and Devin Booker scored 23 points, and they still failed to advance to the second round. In fact, one thing he did not expect was that there were a total of 9 flowers in the three-point contest in later generations, but now there are only 5 flowers. This means that the total score in the three-point contest in later generations was 34 points, but in this era there were only 30 points. , so the 20 points scored by Peja and Persson tonight are not necessarily less valuable than the 23 points scored by Green and Booker in later generations. At least they are on the same level! Considering that the 2019 Three-Point Shooting Contest is recognized as the strongest three-point shooting contest in history, in the early 21st century, an era when three-pointers are far from popular, this one will undoubtedly be popular for a long time. It is called "the most powerful three-point shooting competition in history" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 164 The Strongest Three-Point Shootout Contest in History (2) (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! As Wang Dalin shot the highest score in the history of the three-point contest, the "First United Center" arena was filled with joy. The fans spontaneously stood up and gave him warm applause. The host greeted him for a long time. Only then did they calm down again. Wang Dalin sat on the sidelines and rubbed his right arm. He did not feel that his championship was certain. Historically, there were many examples of people who scored high in the first round of the three-point shooting competition, only to have their hips stretched in the second round. Just like the previous record holder, Greg Hodges, after he scored 25 points in the first round in 1986, didn¡¯t he stretch his hips in the second round? Otherwise, why could Larry Bird be so successful that year? The extra round between Peja and Persson began. The two had the same results in the first round, so Persson was still the first to play. I don¡¯t know if it was affected by Wang Dalin¡¯s high score. Persson obviously lacked confidence when shooting, and he didn¡¯t maintain a good shooting rhythm so he stretched his hips and only scored 14 points in the end. In comparison, Peja is obviously much calmer. His shooting movements are still meticulous. His lightly jumping "weighing shot" is more suitable for occasions such as three-point shooting competitions. His shooting stability is very high. Sure enough, one minute passed and Peja scored 20 points again. The feel was so stable! The three-point shooting contest is like this. Sometimes when the players in front of them shoot high scores, the players behind them will often perform abnormally due to excessive pressure. But when the players in front of them shoot low scores, the players behind them naturally relax and can easily shoot good results. Of course there are also cases where the feeling is contagious, which is a bit disappointing! So far, the three players who have advanced to the second round of this three-point shooting competition have been determined, namely Peja, "Junzi Lei" and Wang Dalin. Peja took the time to rub his arms. He shot two waves in the first round, which was undoubtedly the one that consumed the most. Moreover, he will be the first to play in the upcoming final round, so he is indeed a bit tired. His big brother in the Kings, Chris Webber, kept cheering him on and even came to the sidelines to give him a massage himself. The whistle sounded and the final round finally began. Peja nocked an arrow and raised his hand to shoot, one after another, neither fast nor slow. At the first point, he made 3 of 5 shots and scored 4 points Fortunately, he made the flower ball at this point. Peja¡¯s touch was still very good at the second point, and he made another 3 of 5 shots, and he made another shot at this pointanother 4 points! Peja was overjoyed. He obviously performed better in the third point. He made 4 of 5 shots and made a flower ball After three points, he already scored 13 points. As long as the latter two points don't stretch his hips, he would probably get another 20 points. The above results! Sitting on the sidelines, Ray Allen¡¯s expression did not change, but something was obviously wrong in his eyes. As mentioned above, when a player in front of him scores a high score, the player behind him is easily affected by him. Under the huge psychological pressure, even the "primary school student" in later generations had his crotch pulled, let alone the "Gentleman Lei"? After Peja relaxed her mentality, her condition improved again. She made a perfect hit at the fourth point, already 19 points! Weber cheered him loudly on the sidelines. Many people in the audience had already stood up. They were looking forward to Peja's high score Even if he couldn't catch up with Wang Dalin, he still had a chance to tie Greg Hodges back then. record of 25 points. Peja still shot very steadily at the last point, hitting all the first 4 balls, but the last flower ball was a little short, and he only scored 23 points in the end Of course, this is a pretty good result, and he is fully capable most of the time. Qualified to win the championship! "Huhhuhhuh" When he returned to the sidelines and sat down, Peja was already breathing heavily. He had already thrown three rounds tonight, and he was really exhausted. But fortunately, he has finished the competition, and all that is left is to sit on the sidelines and quietly enjoy the performances of his opponents. The audience gave Peja warm applause. This excellent shooter dedicated three rounds of high-quality shooting tonight. He deserves the respect of everyone present. It was Ray Allen¡¯s turn. The Bucks boss came to the right corner and signaled to the time referee that he could start at any time. Although Peja¡¯s outstanding performance has brought huge pressure to him, but "Junzi Lei" is also well-known for his big heart! "Beep" With the whistle blowing, Ray Allen began to take shots quickly. He did not deliberately slow down the pace like he did in the previous round. Instead, as usual, he took out every shot at a very fast speed.p; After receiving the golden trophy from Bird, Wang Dalin raised the trophy high with one hand, and the audience burst into cheers. This night, the applause of the 20,000 spectators in the "First United Center" belongs to only one person, and the starry lights in Philadelphia also belong to only one personthat is Wang Dalin! The audience no longer even cares about the upcoming dunk contest, even though this one is actually quite exciting. The preliminaries of this slam dunk contest adopted the method of extracting the dunk actions of legendary superstars If you say it, this trick is really a gimmick. Players need to spin the turntable to extract the classic moves of a legendary star, and then recreate this classic on the court. For example, Gerald Wallace was unfortunate enough to get "Dr. J's" take-off dunk from the free throw line. Although he successfully completed the dunk, the gracefulness of the action was beyond praise. Jason Richardson shocked everyone with a 360-degree one-arm tomahawk dunk with an aerial spin. Although this dunk was somewhat different from Carter's first dunk in 2000, it was not as exciting as his. The buckle is lower. This rookie from the Golden State Warriors showed everyone his amazing jumping ability, and his ability to stay in the air and body coordination are also extremely good, even as good as the "demigod" two years ago. After this dunk, the audience¡¯s attention finally shifted from Wang Dalin It was not until this moment that people discovered that Wang Dalin was not the only one who stunned the audience tonight! Richardson's second dunk was even more exciting. He first threw the ball outside the left three-point line, then quickly followed up and took off. After receiving the ball in the air, he turned 180 degrees and then reversed and dunked with his back. , this mid-air turning "turning back to look at the moon" is full of difficulty, and the enjoyment is first-class. Faced with such a dunk, the audience and the five judges were obviously completely conquered. They raised their 10 points and enthusiastically welcomed the birth of the new dunk king. Wang Dalin also had a deep impression of Jason Richardson as a dunker in his previous life. He knew that this guy would make a comeback and successfully defend his title next year. Moreover, in next year's dunk contest, Richardson's dunk will be more difficult than tonight's two dunks. Many people even think that his dunk ability is not worse than Carter's, but he is too low-key, so he is not considered Well known to the majority of fans. All in all, Wang Dalin believes that he is a great dunker who is seriously underestimated Yes, he is a great dunker! After the slam dunk contest, tonight¡¯s game finally came to an end. Everyone at the scene gradually dispersed, and Wang Dalin and Da Ben also returned to the hotel together. Tomorrow morning, they will participate in the pre-game practice of the Eastern All-Star team, so they did not delay and went back to their rooms to rest (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 165 Does everyone want AMVP? (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! In the training hall, Iverson changed direction and dribbled past Tracy McGrady who was guarding him. He threw the ball toward the backboard. Wang Dalin followed up and jumped high to catch the ball and gave it a violent dunk. Everyone on the court couldn't help but give them warm applause for their wonderful cooperation. Iverson and Wang Dalin high-fived each other in celebration and then laughed and said: "Darling, I always feel that we have a good rapport with you. Why don't you just ask Bill?" The old man took the initiative to apply and come to our Philadelphia!" Wang Dalin laughed out loud and said: "What a beautiful idea you have! You want me to come over and help you? Why don't you take the initiative to apply for a trade to come to Detroit? I guarantee that everyone on our team will welcome you!" McGrady said angrily: "You two all come to Orlando. The three of us will play brother basketball. We are guaranteed to be invincible!" Kidd interjected: "Why don't you come to New Jersey? What's so good about that damn place in Orlando?" "The First Bearded Eye" Baron Davis looked at everyone longingly and asked weakly: "What do you think of Charlotte? Why don't you all come to my place?" Jordan gave him a "God's Contempt" and said calmly: "It's better to come to Washington. When you come, I will immediately arrange for Jerry to play the sixth man!" Everyone: "" It has to be said that the Eastern All-Star team is indeed star-studded. Just one public training attracted a large number of reporters Of course, they will also be waiting for the Western All-Star team to train the whole time. The head coach of this Eastern Conference All-Star team is Rick Carlisle, the head coach of the Pistons. Since the Pistons have reached the top of the Eastern Conference this season, Byron Scott, who was originally the head coach, had to go aside to cool off. . Carlisle did not come to Philadelphia with Ben and Wang Dalin. He just flew here last night. This guy gave himself a holiday and spent two days enjoying family happiness at home with his wife and children. Before the morning training started, Carlisle specially found Ben and Wang Dalin to chat for a few words alone. "Ben, Darling, do you two want to play more in the game tonight orwell, you know!" Carlisle smiled slightly and winked at them. "I have no objection, as long as I can score and rebound on the court!" Big Ben said gruffly. It is obvious that he is self-aware of himself. After all, he is just a substitute and his playing time will definitely be less than that of the starting players. This is also the unspoken "unspoken rule" of everyone in the All-Star Game. Wang Dalin thought for a while and asked: "Coach, if I say I want to get the AMVP tonight, will you support me?" Carlisle was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, I will try my best to let you play as much as possible, but you know even if I don't tell you, the rest of the team is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to win AMVP. I have already I heard that Paul and Jason both want to help Jordan win AMVP again!" "Really? I really don't know!" Wang Dalin was a little surprised, because in his memory, Jordan played very well in this All-Star Game. He only scored 8 points in the game, and he didn't want to compete at all. amvp means. And if you want to compete for amvp, at the very least you have to win the game first, right? Wang Dalin remembers that the AMVP of this session in time and space was Kobe Bryant. He scored 31 points and won the first AMVP trophy of his career in his hometown That moment was the best moment of "Black Mamba"'s career. One of the best moments and one of the best memories in Wang Dalin's heart. Of course, Wang Dalin still has many interesting memories about this All-Star Game, such as the first time Tracy McGrady performed the classic action of a self-throw and dunk in the All-Star Game. In 2003, he performed it again. In 2004, he also wanted to perform The "self-throw" was played, but unfortunately the "self-dunk" was not completed. He could only temporarily change the dunk into a layup in the air. Fortunately, he did not make a fool of himself on the spot. During training in the morning, Wang Dalin took the initiative to play with Iverson several times, and also sent wonderful passes to O'Neal, "Uncle Mu" and "Junzi Lei". Everyone had a good impression of him. So there was the scene where Iverson "reciprocated" and sent him an alley-oop I have to say that when Iverson focused on passing the ball, he was really a very good point guard. However, there are a lot of point guards on the Eastern Conference team. Needless to say, Iverson. Kidd is now recognized as the number one point guard in the league. Coupled with the "bearded first generation", Iverson actually played more in the game. Will always appear at the shooting guard position. "Compared to the Western Conference All-Star Team, the Eastern Conference team is clearly inferior in terms of inside strength. The opponent can defeat the Eastern Conference team with just one O'Neal."?I think his historical status should be ranked lower than that of Barkley It is probably because of his despicable and shameless behavior! He is indeed very capable, but his character is too low, so many people don't like him. Wang Dalin lay on the bed and just closed his eyes and fell asleep for a few minutes. Suddenly the cell phone next to him rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Kobe calling. "What does Kobe want from me?" Wang Dalin was a little puzzled and directly pressed the answer button. "Is it King Darling?" "I am, are you Kobe?" "That's right, it's me!" "What's the matter with you calling me?" "It's not a big deal. The main thing is to tell you You will definitely lose tonight's game. I am also determined to win amvp. Do you hear me clearly?" "ah?" "It seems you haven't heard clearly yet, let me repeat it again" "No, I heard it all. You called mejust to talk about this?" "That's right, okay, see you in the game tonight!" After Kobe said this, he immediately hung up the phone. Wang Dalin was stunned and sat on the bed for a long time before he came back to his senses. He couldn't help but said to himself: "Was Kobe so boring when he was young?" At this moment, the system prompt in his mind suddenly sounded - "Ding!" When he opened it, he saw that it was indeed a temporary mission again. Wang Dalin felt happy and quickly looked at it carefully. ¡°The system has detected that the host has encountered a strong challenge from NBA legend Kobe Bryant, so the temporary mission ¡®Sword of the King¡¯ is hereby issued!¡± "The Sword of the King: The legendary superstar Kobe Bryant is eager to get the first AMVP trophy of his career, so why don't you, the host? So, don't be afraid of the extremely sharp Sword of the King in his hand, and bravely face it Fight him!" "Specific requirements: Lead the Eastern All-Stars to defeat the Western All-Stars and win the amvp trophy in this All-Star Game! Reward for completing the task: The host will be in good condition for the next 10 games, and the overall durability will be temporarily increased to 99. value!" Wang Dalin was so happy after reading it that he couldn't help but laugh out loud He should really thank Kobe. If it weren't for his sudden and inexplicable phone call, the system would not have released him this temporary task! It¡¯s great now. Anyway, he was originally going to compete for the amvp, and he can also do tasks by the way. It really kills two birds with one stone and the reward of being in good condition for 10 consecutive games does not stretch his hips at all, which is perfect for Wang Dalin! As long as he can perform normally now, he will be at the level of a top star in the league. If he is in good condition basically he will be able to perform like a superstar in the next 10 games, just like the three S's, O'Neal, Duncan and Iverson. Like a superstar! "And the overall durability has been increased to 99, which is almost equivalent to immunity to injuries and illnesses. He can throw away his arms and swing hard. Thinking of this, Wang Dalin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth "I have to win this amvp tonight even if I shamelessly play for 40 minutes on the court. I will kill anyone who dares to stand in front of me!" That¡¯s right! AMVP, can anyone compete for it? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 166 I can¡¯t beat you anymore (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On the evening of February 10, 2002, the current NBA All-Star Game finally kicked off. The 24 All-Stars participating in this competition are actively warming up before the game. Everyone in the Western Conference seems particularly relaxed, especially Kobe Bryant, who is laughing and playing with everyone, and there is no sense of tension before the war. It¡¯s no wonder that since Jordan retired, the league has entered a situation in which the West is strong and the East is weak The last fig leaf of the "God of Basketball" has been torn off, and the Eastern powers seem to have been knocked back to their original shape overnight. Think about it, the championship of the shortened season of 1998-1999 was the Spurs. They swept the Eastern Conference champion Knicks 4:1 in the finals. The championships of the next two years were all the Lakers. They won the championship in the finals. They first defeated the Pacers 4:2, and then defeated the 76ers 4:1. If we follow the original history, the Western Conference teams will still win the championship in the next two years, namely the Lakers and Spurs Well, this is the pattern at the beginning of the 21st century. The Eastern Conference teams basically come to the finals just to make soy sauce. To zoom in a little bit, from 2000 to 2010, the Western Conference team won the championship a total of 7 times, while the Eastern Conference team only won 3 times. And these three times, except for the Pistons' championship in 2004, which was full of gold content, the Heat's championship in 2006 is probably a trick that fans all know, and the Celtics in 2008 were all "Big Three", this How valuable is the championship? We can even say it more definitely. The only truly most valuable championships after 2010 are the Mavericks in 2011 and the Spurs in 2014. The others haha! Therefore, Wang Dalin feels that this era is better. At least the atmosphere of the entire league is relatively positive. No team really forms a "Big Three" or "Big Four" just to win the championship I have to say that winning the championship together as a team It¡¯s so tasteless! The Western All-Stars were laughing and joking, and the Eastern Team was very serious during the warm-up. Wang Dalin and Ray Allen even competed in another round of three-pointers. This time, Ray Allen had the better touch, and finally ended up with 1 The ball narrowly won. Pierce naturally noticed what was happening on the other side of the court, and then he went to Wang Dalin's side and said, "Darling, we must not undermine each other tonight, otherwise neither of us will get the AMVP if we lose to them!" Wang Dalin said seriously: "Don't worry, the AMVP will definitely happen between the two of us tonight, we must not lose to them!" Pierce nodded and said: "Okay, I believe you!" Wang Dalin's words are half true and half false. "We must not lose to them" is of course true, but "tonight's amvp will definitely happen between the two of us" is not necessarily trueWith Carlisle's support, he His playing time will definitely have an advantage. Even if Pierce has someone to help him, he will have a lot of helpers here! Therefore, as long as the Eastern All-Stars win tonight, Wang Dalin has at least 80% chance of winning AMVP. Of course, the most important thing now is to defeat the Western Conference All-Stars. Seeing the famous legendary superstars on the opposite side, especially those in the post, Wang Dalin felt that his head was getting bigger This is really not good. Fight! After the warm-up, Wang Dalin and Pierce called their teammates together and everyone formed a big circle. Pierce spoke first: "Everyone, their inside strength is obviously better than ours, so I suggest that we play faster in this game and use speed to defeat their height. What do you think?" Kidd immediately stood up for Pierce and said: "I agree!" Wang Dalin also said: "I also agree. If we slowly gain ground with them, we will definitely lose. Only by fighting quickly can we have a chance to defeat them!" Others also agreed that the gap between the two sides' inside strength is obvious. Several inside players including Mutombo, Big Ben and O'Neal also feel that they can't beat each other. Jordan smiled and said: "I don't object if you want to play faster, but I, an old man, can't keep up with your speed. You should wait until I play for a few minutes before speeding up?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "It's okay, this is the All-Star Game, no one can do it for real as soon as it comes up, right? Michael, just play in the first half, and let's go all out in the second half!" Jordan nodded and said: "Okay, everyone, please play with me for a while first!" Pierce smiled and said: "No problem, you are the biggest tonight, we will definitely have fun with you!" ¡­¡­ The game officially started, the starting players of both sides came to the court, Mutombo and O'Neal stood in the middle circle to execute the jump ball. Neither of them made much effort to take off, so the ball was missed by Muto.Ben couldn't beat Kobe and could only rely on his powerful back attack skills. Kobe's defense is still meticulous. At this moment, he only has Jordan in his eyes. Regardless of whether this is the All-Star Game or not, he just wants to have a fun one-on-one duel with Jordan. Jordan made another fadeaway jumper. This time Kobe's judgment was very accurate. His timing of taking off was just right. Jordan's sight was blocked and he could only rely on his feeling to shoot the ball. Sure enough, the ball hit the mark! O'Neal collected the rebound and threw it directly to Francis This was the All-Star Game, and he really didn't want to pass the ball to Kobe. But he also knew that it was of little significance to do so, because he already knew about Kobe's "collusion" with others. Francis passed the ball to Kobe again. Kobe decided to hit the ball in front of the frame. His footsteps must be faster than Jordan's, so Jordan lost his center of gravity due to his several changes of direction and dribbling. Kobe broke into the paint and hit a single shot. Windmill dunk. It was the Eastern side¡¯s turn to attack. Kidd dribbled to the frontcourt and still lobbed the ball to Jordan. Jordan is still doing the same thing, this time his back-up move finally went in I have to say that even though Jordan is 39 years old, his mid-range back-up move is still very powerful. Kobe has tried his best to defend the ball, but Jordan just can Enter! Looking back, Francis passed the ball to Duncan. Kobe has already played three times in a row. He can't always be one-on-one with Jordan, right? We are all all-stars. Even if we have agreed to help you compete for amvp, at least you have to let others play first, right? It¡¯s still early for the game! Duncan made a shot on the right side. Wang Dalin didn't guard him, but he didn't make the shot. "Uncle Mu" collected the rebound and made a long pass. After Jordan received the ball, he was already facing an empty basket, and no one in the West was chasing after it. After Jordan slowed down, he made a signature one-handed dunk. As a result, the ball hit the inside of the basket and bounced high. This scene caused a burst of laughter from everyone on the scene, and the audience also laughed. Jordan himself couldn't help but laugh. He had done dunks like this so many times before, but he didn't expect to dunk the ball directly tonight. It seemed that even God was joking with him this night. Francis picked up the rebound and threw a long pass to Kobe. Kobe missed a three-pointer without anyone guarding him. Wang Dalin picked up the rebound. He didn't pass the ball either. He dribbled the ball slowly. frontcourt. Seeing Wang Dalin trying to pass the ball to him, Jordan smiled and shook his head and said: "I really can't beat him, so you guys should beat me!" Wang Dalin nodded and hit the ball directly at the top of the three-point arc. The ball fell steadily into the basket (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 167 Who said we can¡¯t ¡°chopping sharks¡± in the All-Star Game? You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Wang Dalin started his first NBA All-Star Game performance with a three-pointer, and also announced to everyone that his reputation as the strongest three-pointer in history was not in vain. Looking back, Duncan and O'Neal played an exquisite cooperation inside and outside the ball. O'Neal completed the attack with a two-handed dunk, and then showed off his signature dominance step. Before he could shout for two seconds, the Eastern side immediately launched a fast break. After receiving Kidd's pass, Iverson only killed the inside. Garnett and Duncan were unable to cover up and he scored an empty basket. When Iverson scored, O'Neal had just run back to the top of the three-point arc in his own half. It can be seen that the fast break here in the East is so fast that it can't be heard or heard well, it's very fast anyway! The Western Conference still focuses on the inside. This time, Duncan receives the ball in the inside, and Wang Dalin is guarding him There is no way, he is the power forward in this lineup, there is no way for Jordan to face Duncan, right? Duncan took advantage of his strength to advance two steps toward the basket, and then leaned on Wang Dalin with his left shoulder and made a hook shot. The ball was there! Wang Dalin felt a little depressed. He felt that if he had just worked harder, he could have prevented the ball. The main reason was that the hook shot was too low, just like some of the old men in the domestic golf course. Not only was the movement slow, The release point when shooting is also very low. In fact, this is just his illusion, because Duncan is such a player. Wang Dalin felt that he was only a little bit close to guarding him, but when Duncan attacked next time, he would knowit was still only a little bit short! If he doesn¡¯t have superhuman strength, how can the system list him as one of the only three S-class superstars in the current league? In the East, Jordan immediately called a timeout after receiving the ball in the frontcourt. He didn't want to play, so he took the initiative to request a rest. It¡¯s not that he¡¯s really too tired to play anymore, it¡¯s mainly because his knees and shoulders are a little uncomfortable, and he¡¯s really not in high spirits tonight. After Jordan's comeback this season, the Wizards' market is indeed much hotter than before, but the team's record has been poor. Although he has worked hard, he always tastes the bitter consequences of failure. Think about when he was so embarrassed when he was with the Bulls? There was a time when they only lost 10 games in a whole season. How cool was it then? So Jordan is really not in the mood to play in this ridiculous All-Star Game. There is no way he can be selected into the starting lineup by the fans, but he is also serious about paddling! Actually, think about it from another angleif Jordan is really not selected into the All-Star starting lineup this year, maybe he should be disappointed again. Just like Jordan¡¯s last All-Star trip a year later in time and space, he was indeed missed from the starting lineup, so McGrady and Carter both made way for him. This time McGrady showed a high level of emotional intelligence. He twice offered to give up his starting position to Jordan, but Jordan declined both times. Jordan also said that sentence - "There is only one person in this league that I can willingly play as a substitute for him, and his name is Tracy McGrady." Carter was obviously a little late-minded. When a reporter asked him if he was willing to give up his starting position to Jordan, he bluntly refused. However, when the game officially started, people found Carter sitting on the sidelines, and Jordan appeared on the sidelines. The starting lineup. At that time, Carter did not explain why he wanted to give up his seat to Jordan. It was not until 13 years later that he told the truth when he participated in a talk show¡ª¡ª "I definitely wanted to be the vote king. You know this is very important. You definitely want to be the vote king when you play, but I think the media reports exaggerated what I wanted to do or what I should have done. After that, I felt like I didn¡¯t need to announce to the world what I was going to do, I just thought: Michael, this is your moment to perform, this is your stage!¡± ¡°That¡¯s what I was thinking at the time, and I thought that was a smart move, so I walked up to him personally and gave him the starting spot, but when I told him all this, Michael refused!¡± "He said: No, you should be in the starting position that you won through your strength!" "I said: I will never let you sit on the bench but start the game tonight. Don't do this to me. If you do this, I will never be able to survive in this league!" "Even so, Michael was still unwilling to accept this starting position until I put on my training clothes and sat directly on the bench. I told him: Anyway, I will be the substitute tonight, you can decide what to do!" ??????????????Never mind what he said?A speech. ¡°Guys, now we have to get more serious!¡± "I didn't expect that we would be so far behind in the first half. It's all my fault. I wasted a lot of shooting opportunities. If I could pass those balls to you, maybe the result would be different!" "Everyone must cheer up. A mere 16 points is nothing. As long as we work together, we will catch up soon!" "Shaq, as long as you get into the basket, they can't stop you at all. Don't worry, I will definitely pass the ball to you!" "Tim, just go inside and fight Darling King, he can't guard you!" "Kevin, with your height, no one in the Eastern Conference is your opponent at the third position!" "This is not just because I want to win amvp, this is also for the honor of all of us!" "I think you don't want to lose to those guys in the East, right?" "So, cheer up, we're going to kick their ass kill the Eastern team!" Kobe Bryant¡¯s last shout was almost hoarse. Everyone was infected by his passion, even O¡¯Neal was no exception. They all followed him and shouted - "Kill the Eastern Conference!" ¡­¡­ The players of the Eastern Star Team didn't know about Kobe's speech, but Wang Dalin knew very well about Kobe's urine. He knew that the Western Star Team would definitely launch a crazy counterattack in the second half, so he specially reminded everyone. Pierce nodded after hearing this and said: "Well, Darling is right, we must be careful, I guess they are likely to disperse the attack!" Kidd also nodded and said: "What Paul said makes sense, soshould we consider zone defense?" Everyone looked at Carlisle, who smiled and said: "Everyone, you can decide for yourself whether you want to play zone defense or not. I don't want to waste my brain in this kind of game!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, Wang Dalin said: "Okay, let's play zone defense. We can't let Shaq penetrate our inside line. If necessary, we will 'cut the shark'!" Iverson laughed out loud and said, "Isn't it? This is the All-Star Game. Are you sure you want to deal with Shaq like this?" Pierce also showed a bit of unbearable expression and said: "Yes, are we a bit too unkind to 'cut the shark' in the All-Star Game?" Wang Dalin nodded and said: "Who said he can't 'hack the shark' in the All-Star Game? Who told him that he can't shoot free throws on his own? If they have the ability, they will come to kill us, and everyone will directly compete with each other to see who is more accurate!" Everyone couldn¡¯t help but want to laugh, and Ben asked weakly from the side: ¡°If you are ¡®shark-killing¡¯, what should I do if they kill me?¡± ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 168 The dust has settled (first update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Hearing Ben's question, Carlisle said lightly: "Don't worry, as long as they show any signs of killing you, I will take you off the field immediately!" There¡¯s nothing wrong with what you say I¡¯ve already replaced people, how else can you cut them? At the beginning of the second half, players from both teams returned to the court from the locker room. This is the time to test the level of the head coaches of the two teams. In the first half, all 24 All-Stars from both sides have appeared. In the second half, it is time to compete for victory. The head coach has to consider who plays more and who plays less. Firstly, we should try our best to allow star players with higher status to play for a while, and secondly, we should also consider the suitability of the players. For example, the player Francis, although his fans selected him as an All-Star starter, considering that his style of play is not compatible with Kobe at all, so the Western Team will definitely let Nash play more. The same is true here in the East. Just like Wang Dalin and "Fat Toutuo" have very similar playing styles, and the effect of playing at the same time is not good, Carlisle should stagger the two of them as much as possible. Seeing the players from both sides fighting on the court, Carlisle couldn't help but sigh: It would be great if Hamilton and Billups could also be selected for the All-Star lineup. Their playing styles are so compatible with Wang Dalin! The West launched the attack first. Kobe broke into the three-second zone under the double cover of Garnett and Duncan. Facing Wang Dalin's help, he did not force forward, but instead passed the ball to O'Neal who reached the basket. inside. O'Neal was so happy that he turned around and wanted to dunk, but "Uncle Mu" hugged him down. "Fuck!" O'Neal couldn't help but cursed after being fouled, "Dikembe, why are you so shameless? Are you going to do this to me in the All-Star Game?" "Uncle Mu" chuckled and said, "Sorry, Shaq, we just want to win, so we have to focus on your weakness!" "Damn it! Am I a weak point?" O'Neal said angrily, "I'll show you my real free throw skills!" Unfortunately, after two "dang-dang" sounds, the rebound was picked off by "Uncle Mu". O'Neal's old face turned red and he had no choice but to run towards his own half. When the East attacked, Kidd came to the frontcourt and began to direct his teammates to move, and called Wang Dalin to give him a pick-and-roll screen. Kidd successfully broke through to the three-point line, but his opponent Garnett had already come to help defend. Kidd made a fake shot and passed the ball, and the basketball instantly flew into the hands of Wang Dalin on the other side. Wang Dalin took advantage of the situation and made a pull-up. O'Neal was unable to cover up and was easily hit by him. I have to say that Garnett's help defense is really good. With Kidd's ability, he rarely encounters such strong help defense in the Eastern Conference. Usually he has opened up a gap after a pick-and-roll. This season, as every team has begun to fumble with a zone defense, the days when you could conquer the world with just one pick-and-roll move are gone forever. Especially since the Jazz relied on Malone and Stockton's pick-and-roll for more than ten years. The reason is very simple. You can't break the pick-and-roll man-to-man, and you will suffer losses no matter how you change positions. But zone defense is different. As long as you form three defenses and two defenses, you will always have two people in front of you. This is why the Jazz's record has plummeted this season. The team that benefits the most is the Timberwolves. Their head coach Sanders is a zone defense expert and has written a book. The Timberwolves, who are accurate on the outside and high on the inside, took advantage in the first month of this season. But those old coaches who have been in the NBA for decades seem to be completely confused about the situation, and they have to learn from scratch. The Pistons are naturally one of the teams that benefited from the league's rules. If they hadn't played the so-called "hybrid zone defense", how could they have 5 wins and 2 losses without a big team? Of course, zone defense is not invincible. It can still be broken as long as you play it properly. If you want to break the zone defense, you basically have to do the following two things: First, the flow of the ball. Take the Nets this season as an example. Kidd, a passing master with strong breakthrough ability, launches the offense. There are shooters Kittles and Van Horn on the outside, Martin and center Mark Leuer on the inside, and there are also three players who can break through. Jefferson the good pitcher. No matter what, both teams only have 5 people. As long as there are double-teams, there will be gaps. The key lies in how to find and utilize the gaps. Kidd in the middle ensures the smooth movement of the ball, and everyone who gets the ball has the ability to end the attack, so the zone defense can be broken. The Kings have taken this approach to the extreme this season. The five players they have on the court are all good at passing the ball, and more than one can be the pivot. Coupled with AdelThe lineup of dual point guards obviously caught the old thief Pop a little unexpected. After much thought, he still did not replace Duncan, but replaced Malone with Nowitzki. Kobe is definitely not willing to take a rest. He has already applied to Bobo to play the entire fourth quarter. Wang Dalin has naturally applied to Carlisle a long time ago. He just wants to play the whole fourth quarter. His current physical fitness is completely fine After all, he has been paddling in the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter. Not much consumption. The score difference between the two sides is 18 points, and the Western Stars entered the fourth quarter with such a burden. To be honest except for Kobe and Garnett, who are still full of fighting spirit, everyone else has no hope of winning. Wang Dalin scored 29 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in the first three quarters. He is very hopeful to record his second triple-double in the history of the All-Star Game since Michael Jordan. And judging from his current scoring, he can at least score a large triple-double with a score of 30+, and may even score a super triple-double with a score of 40+! In addition, he also hopes to break Chamberlain's single-game scoring record of 42 points set in the 1962 All-Star Game Of course, the opposite Kobe is also very hopeful! As the game becomes more and more intense, the last quarter of this All-Star Game has completely become a scoring battle between Kobe Bryant and Wang Dalin. However, due to the high defensive intensity of both sides, their offensive efficiency was a bit low, and for a while there was constant sound of iron strikes on the court. The audience at the "First United Center" arena did not seem impatient because of the frequent strikes between the two sides. They have long been accustomed to this kind of game. It is really better than a strike Can anyone else compare to Iverson this season? ? Although Iverson currently ranks first in the scoring list with an average of more than 31 points per game, his shooting percentage is less than 40%. Such a high score is entirely based on the number of shots he takes. This is also normal. The 76ers' offense basically relies on him alone, and the other four can only play a role on the defensive end. This is the offensive and defensive system specially designed by Larry Brown for Iverson. They successfully reached the finals last year, but they are in trouble this season because of zone defense! More than 8 minutes into the fourth quarter, the Eastern Conference Stars still led by 19 points, 135:116. Popovich called a timeout and replaced Kobe Bryant, which was an obvious surrender. In the end, the Eastern Conference defeated the Western Conference with a score of 143:122, and this year¡¯s All-Star Game finally came to an end. Kobe Bryant scored 38 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. His performance was definitely worthy of AMVP, but it was a pity that they lost. In the end, Wang Dalin won the amvp trophy. He scored 36 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, dedicating the second triple-double in All-Star history (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel. com Chapter 169 At least 15 consecutive wins, right? (First update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After the game is naturally the reserved program of every All-Star Game - the amvp awards ceremony. Of course, the guest of honor was the unshakable NBA president Mr. David Stern every year. During this period, Stern's hair was only a little gray, not completely white as everyone would know in later generations. Seeing such a "young" Stern Fortunately, Wang Dalin suddenly felt as if he was in another world. Just when he traveled through time, the old man who single-handedly promoted the NBA to China had passed away, not long after Kobe Bryant passed away. It is also extremely ironic to say that Stern spent his whole life promoting the NBA to the world, especially in China, where he did his best, even waiting for several hours in the CCTV building. But before he passed away, a clown who looked exactly like a eunuch destroyed his life's hard work. I guess the old man won't be able to rest in peace when he dies, right? Stern walked to the microphone with a smile and started his annual performance calmly. He said these words every year, basically the same - "Thank you, thank you to all Philadelphia fans, thank you to espn, thank you to tnt, thank you to all the players for bringing us such a wonderful All-Star Game!" "This year's All-Star Game is very special. We saw Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Dikembe Mutombo, Peja Stojakovic, Wally Sze Biak and Darling-Wang are here, and now we have more and more international players joining us, who are joining us to make the sport more colorful, which is very impressive!¡± "The award I want to present now is the 2002 NBA All-Star Game mvp. Tonight he is the star among stars, from the Detroit Pistons, the Darling King!" Wang Dalin took the AMVP trophy from Mr. President and stood in front of the microphone. He thought he could give a long series of acceptance speeches eloquently, just like Kobe, James or Jordan, but he obviously overestimated his eloquence and his psychological quality. "III'm sorry, I'm too nervous!" Wang Dalin said this with a blushing face after standing there for a long time. Da Ben shouted from the crowd behind him: "Fourth brother, you can do it, don't be afraid!" The other All-Stars also gave him encouraging applause. Led by them, the audience stood up and applauded, and many people even screamed. Wang Dalin took a long breath, leaned closer to the microphone again and said: "To be honest, now I feel like everything is in a dream! A year ago, I was just an unknown undrafted draft pick. I believe everyone knows this" "After entering the NBA, I only thought about how to play the ball better and how to better help the team win" "Of course I'm very happy to receive this award tonight. But I want to tell my teammates tonight, thank youI couldn't have done it without you. This award belongs to everyone on our Eastern Stars team!" Everyone in the Eastern Stars applauded enthusiastically, especially Pierce, the guy who once wanted to compete with him for the AMVP. He clapped more vigorously than anyone else. After the brief award ceremony, the All-Stars dispersed to be interviewed by reporters. Among them, the one who came to interview Wang Dalin, the "Star of Stars", was Zhang Weiping, who is most familiar to Chinese fans. "Da Lin, congratulations. You won the MVP after being selected into the All-Stars for the first time. First, would you like to say hello to our audience friends in front of the TV?" "Good evening, viewers of CCTV Sports Channel Well, it should be noon in China now, right? Good afternoon, everyone, I am Wang Dalin. Thank you very much for supporting me. I hope you will continue to watch my games in the future!" "Da Lin, you played so well in this game, did you think about it before the game? I mean winning the amvp award" "Haha, to be honest, I really thought about itbut I can't control this kind of thing. I can only do my best when I get on the field!" "I think some viewers in front of the TV have noticed that when you, Dalin, gave your acceptance speech just now, Ben called you 'fourth brother' from behind. I remember, weren't the three of you sworn brothers? When did you become four again? Alone?" "It's like this. Not long ago, we became sworn brothers again, and this time Richard Hamilton also joined the ranks of our brothers, so I dropped another level, and now I am the fourth child, hahaha" ¡°Everyone knows that Dalin successfully led the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team to win the 21st Asian Championship last summer. This summer we will also welcome the men¡¯s basketball team.?The 10th after the game. On March 3, the Pistons challenged the Hornets away. The Hornets' record this season is worse than last season. Wang Dalin remembers that last season they were still sixth in the Eastern Conference. This season they have dropped to eighth in the Eastern Conference For the Raptors, Carter led the team to play a wave as soon as he returned. With four consecutive wins, they are now ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference. Against the Pistons, the Hornets basically have nothing to do. Their proud super scorer Jamal Mashburn was just restrained by Wang Dalin, and the strong "bearded first generation" Baron Davis was completely unable to perform when he met Billups. own advantages. The physical strength of the two of them was almost the same, and Davis should be slightly better. However, after the "second brother" added the "buff", he became a little stronger than him, so Davis struggled in this game. Wang Dalin displayed his rich offensive methods in front of Mashburn vividly. He tried all of them including pull-ups, breakthroughs, back-ups, etc., and tortured Mashburn until he almost shut down. In the end, the Pistons easily defeated the Hornets 93:82. Wang Dalin scored 34 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, which is basically his regular performance in recent times. After winning this game, the Pistons' winning streak has reached 14 games, which is a bit scary. According to records, the longest winning streak in the NBA is the 33-game winning streak created by the Lakers in the 1971-1972 season. Wang Dalin knew that this record would remain for many years, because no team had come close to this record when he traveled through time. Record. The second-ranked winning streak is the Bucks in the 1970-1971 season, when "Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar led the team to a 20-game winning streak. Counting further down is the Lakers in the 1999-2000 season. Under the leadership of the "OK Combination", they had a 19-game winning streak and were worthy of being a super team that won the championship for two consecutive years. Going forward, it will be 18 consecutive victories. There are three teams that have achieved this result, namely the Knicks in the 1969-1970 season, the Celtics in the 1981-1982 season and the Bulls in the 1995-1996 season. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The 1995-1996 season was the invincible season when the Bulls won 72 games That year, the red Bulls conquered the NBA and the world! There are also three teams that have won 17 consecutive games. They are the Wizards in the 1946-1947 season (they were still called the Washington Capitols at that time), the Celtics in 1959-1960 and the Spurs in the 1995-1996 season. Team. I have to say that the Spurs were able to win 17 consecutive games during the Bulls' invincible season, which is really awesome! Counting further down, there are 16 consecutive victories. There are a total of 5 teams that have won 16 consecutive games in history, namely the Celtics in the 1964-1965 season, the Bucks in the 1970-1971 season, and the Bucks in the 1990-1991 season. Lakers, 1990-1991 Trail Blazers and 1999-2000 Lakers. When you see this, some people will probably say, the Bucks are awesome. They actually won 16 consecutive games in addition to 20 consecutive wins in the 1970-1971 season? ??In fact, wasn¡¯t this the case for the Lakers in the 1999-2000 season? They had a 19-game winning streak and a 16-game winning streak that season, truly showing their invincibility. The Pistons are currently on a 14-game winning streak, and almost everyone has begun to think about this question - how many consecutive games can they win? Local fans in Detroit are naturally the most excited. They are so happy this season. The team has been making great progress in the regular season and now ranks first in the Eastern Conference. No matter what, they are already satisfied, because even if the Pistons lose the next game, the longest winning streak in team history has been refreshed. Their previous longest winning streak was only 12 games Even if they In the two years when they won the championship, they had never been so brilliant in the regular season. The fans are satisfied, but the Pistons players are not satisfied with the current results. As a time traveler, Wang Dalin certainly knows that the Rockets in future generations can win 22 consecutive games with such a broken formation. The Pistons are now strong, so what can they not dare to think about? What does a 14-game winning streak mean? It¡¯s not even ranked in NBA history! At the very leastit has to be 15 consecutive victories, right? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Questions about winning streaks You can search "Am I cheating, am I proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! When Lao Wang was writing the next chapter, he suddenly discovered that there was an error in the calculation of the previous chapter. The Pistons did not have a 14-game winning streak, but a 13-game winning streak, so he quickly changed it. ? ?We are very sorry for bringing you a bad reading experience! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 170: 16 consecutive wins, do you want to continue? (Second update today) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! After 13 consecutive victories, every game played by the Pistons attracts the attention of almost everyone. People seem to be waiting, waiting for them to create an even more amazing winning streak, or waiting for a team to suddenly end their winning streak one day! The Pistons will then face the Heat, Wizards, Celtics, Pacers, Cavaliers and Jazz. At present, it seems that only the Celtics and Jazz have hope of stopping their winning streak. , the other teams don¡¯t seem to be strong enough. However, this is not necessarily the case. After all, the Pistons have been like cars driving on the Akina Mountains for a while. Their speed is as high as 200 kilometers per hour. Once they reach five consecutive hairpin turns, they are likely to overturn. As for their opponents, It doesn't seem to matter who it is. Historically, teams with long winning streaks often did not lose to a strong team in the end A long winning streak can easily make players nervous and worry about gains and losses, and the same can be said for losing to a weak team in the end. Very normal thing. On March 5, the Pistons met the Heat's challenge at home. Wang Dalin's "buff" of 10 consecutive games in good condition has disappeared, so he gave "Second Brother" a "head-to-head kill" at the beginning of the game There is no way, he himself has no "buff" in this game. If you want to win, you still have to make your teammates stronger as much as possible. There are not many times when Wang Dalin really feels cold this season. Even if his touch is average, his offensive efficiency can surpass most of the forward players in the league, so this is not because he lacks confidence in himself, but just in case. As mentioned before, Wang Dalin is not satisfied with 13 consecutive victories, so no matter whether his condition is good or not, his biggest goal at this stage is that the Pistons can continue their winning streak. The Heat have completely lost the power of the Eastern Conference this season. They have only 25 wins and 32 losses so far, with a winning rate of only 43.9%. The twelfth ranking in the Eastern Conference is also far behind last season. Maybe the "Magic Counter" has already regretted not doing his best to keep Wang Dalin. Maybe he just wanted to mess it up so that the team can select a good young man who can be the core of the team this summer. Of course, everyone knows that this is impossible. 2002 is also recognized as a poor year for the draft. It is not easy to select a core for team building. From Wang Dalin's perspective, only two of this year's rookies are worthy of being selected as the core of the team. One is our Chairman Yao, and the other is Amare, who was selected by Phoenix with the ninth overall pick in the first round. Stoudemire. Others, such as Caron Butler with the tenth pick in the first round, Tayshaun Prince with the 23rd pick in the first round, and Carlos Boozer in the second round are all worse. They are the second pick. Being the leader is not bad, but if you have to be the boss of the team, it would be too much! In fact, the Heat's lineup this season is not that bad. If Alonzo Mourning's physical condition can be better, if Brian Grant can perform like last season, if Eddie Jones can take as many shots as he did last season, He had so much with the Hornets two years ago, and if Pat Riley can give Eddie House more playing time they should at least be in the top eight in the Eastern Conference. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that these are all what-ifs¡­if Riley retains Wang Dalin with a maximum-salary contract, the Heat may be more than just the top eight in the Eastern Conference! Before the game, Wang Dalin and his old brothers hugged each other. They got along very well together last season, especially in the playoffs. They worked hard together and were eliminated by the 76ers Oh, it's all that damn Iverson's fault. Damn it. The ultimate kill! Whenever we talk about that game, Wang Dalin and the Heat¡¯s senior brothers can¡¯t help but feel filled with emotion. But they also know in their hearts that even if they get through the 76ers, they still won't be able to beat the Lakers in the finals, and may even be swept by the Lakers. The moment of reminiscing is always so short. When the two teams meet together, they have to compete after all The Heat players know very well that they are not as strong as the Pistons, but they just don't want to give up without a fight. The Heat did not have no chance in this game. Eddie Jones made 10 of 18 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 28 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. His performance was already very good. In addition, Mourning scored 18 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Grant also contributed 16 points, 15 rebounds and 1 block. The Pistons' inside combination of Big Ben and Robinson was completely overwhelmed by them. Robinson scored 13 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal. In fact, his performance was not bad, but Grant on the opposite side obviously performed better. As for Da Ben maybe it's because Wang Dalin dislikes the feel of his afro. Anyway, there is no "buff" in this game.??They lead the Pistons by 5 points, 53:48. Since the All-Star Game, the Pistons have never fallen behind at halftime. They often lead their opponents by more than 10 points at halftime, and sometimes the game even enters garbage time after three quarters. Facing the strength of the Pistons, the Celtics cleverly lowered the pace of the game and ground them. The Pistons' offensive firepower was obviously greatly suppressed. At this point in this season, the Pistons' offensive and defensive system has gradually taken shape. When defending, they will combine man-to-man marking with "hybrid zone defense", which can often produce terrifying defensive intensity. When attacking, the Pistons often launched quick counterattacks, especially Wang Dalin's long pass when he grabbed the backboard. It was really a hit and miss! This offensive tactic that is very similar to "run and gun" was specially designed by Carlisle after Ben returned from injury. That's why Wang Dalin's average rebounds per game this season has improved so significantly I really think his rebounding ability Is he that strong? That's because Ben and Robinson often help him "stuck"! Head coach Jim O'Brien has studied the Pistons' offensive tactics very carefully. He knows very well that if the Celtics want to defeat the powerful Pistons, they must not allow them to play fast breaks frequently, otherwise they will never be able to play fast breaks. The points difference may be stretched to more than double digits within minutes. Although Wang Dalin and Billups are both players who are very good at controlling the rhythm and have strong passing ability, their power will obviously decrease in the half-court offense Of course, Wang Dalin's mid- and long-range The shooting was indeed unsolvable, but his touch was not very good in the first half. After the halftime break, the performance of the Pistons generals was obviously brand new. I don¡¯t know what kind of chicken soup Carlisle gave them. Not only did Hamilton and Billups frequently succeed in shooting from the outside, but Wang Dalin¡¯s touch also obviously recovered. Although the Celtics only encountered Wang Dalin who was in good condition at halftime, it was enough. In the second half, Wang Dalin made 8 of 13 shots, including 2 of 3 three-pointers and 8 of 9 free throws. He scored 26 points in the first half You must know that he only made 2 of 7 shots in the first half, and the three-point line None of the 3 shots he took were hit. Of course, Wang Dalin alone cannot win the victory. In this game, the "second brother" and "third brother" also played good offensive firepower. Especially the "second brother", he made 10 of 18 shots from the field, including 2 of 4 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws. He had an all-around performance of 27 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. In the end, the Pistons defeated the Celtics 105:98. While winning their opponent, they also increased their winning streak to 16 games. Now I¡¯m afraid everyone is asking questions They have won 16 consecutive games, will they continue? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 171 I, Barkley, am back You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! On the morning of March 9, when all the Pistons players were competing in groups in the training hall, a strong black man walked in from the door and shouted loudly with a smile: "Hi guys, I'm back, I'm so excited to see you. so happy!" Everyone looked at him one after another, and everyone was shocked. Of course they all knew the person coming. After all, this guy had become famous all over the world more than ten years ago. Everyone in the entire alliance knew about it. What surprised them waswhy is this guy so thin? The visitor was none other than Charles Barkley, one of the top 50 superstars in NBA history. After joining the Pistons more than a month ago, he had been training alone with Ganon Baker, the trainer Dumas hired specifically for him Of course, he The main task is to lose weight. Wang Dalin remembers that he was completely fat when he first joined the team He was 198cm tall and weighed 142kg. This was more than ten kilograms heavier than the later "fat tiger" Zion Williams! But the Barkley in front of him has obviously lost a lot of weight. To the naked eye he is not much fatter than before he retired! "Hey, look who's here?" Robinson walked up to Barkley with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old man, if you walk in front of reporters like this, I'm sure their jaws will drop!" Buckley said with a proud smile: "That's right! You don't even know who I am. I am the 'Great Sir Charles'. How can it be so hard for me to lose weight?" Carlisle smiled and asked: "Charles, how much weight have you lost now?" Buckley glanced around at everyone and asked with a smile: "You all want to know the answer, right?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Okay, stop being so secretive and tell everyone quickly!" Barkley smiled and said: "Okay, I will satisfy your curiosity. Listen to me. My current weight is 268 pounds What's wrong? It's hard for you to believe it, right?" No wonder everyone was stunned, because this number is really astonishing. They all know Barkley¡¯s weight when he first reported to the team. At that time, he weighed 315 pounds, which is 142.9 kilograms. It has only been a little over a month now, and he has already lost 47 pounds, which is more than 21 kilograms! Wang Dalin knows very well how difficult it is for a fat man to lose weight, because in his previous life he was a happy fat man, with a height of only 173cm and a weight of 86.5kg. At that time, he also tried many kinds of slimming pills and slimming teas, but he lost a few pounds at first and then quickly regained it As a lazy and fat otaku, of course he refused to exercise when losing weight! "Charles, how did you do it?" Wang Dalin was of course curious about why Barkley lost so much weight so quickly. ¡°Of course he knows what the volume of more than 20 kilograms of fat is. Barkley lost such a large amount of fat in just over a month. You can imagine how much his appearance has changed. Barkley smiled and said: "What's so strange about this? Isn't it just a scientific diet and a lot of training!" What he said was very simple, but Wang Dalin knew that he could achieve this step because he must have experienced extraordinary and cruel training. How many weight loss centers will there be in China in future generations? "I lost more than 20 kilograms in just over a month. What level of achievement is this?" Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t know, but he knows very well that this kind of training must be very unbearable for Barkley, a 39-year-old veteran. Robinson smiled and said: "Charles, when you showed up here today, did you want to practice with us?" Barkley turned to Carlisle and smiled: "Coach, I now formally apply to join the team's joint training, please approve it!" Carlisle squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully again, and smiled: "Okay, I agree, you can join the team for training, but until your weight drops to 265 pounds, I still will not include you in the competition team." List!" Buckley smiled and said: "It's only 3 pounds, no big deal, I can achieve this goal in a few days at most!" Carlisle said sternly: "Charles, I'm warning you, don't do those dirty tricks of dehydration, it will definitely not be good for you!" Buckley smiled and said, "Don't worry, why would I make fun of my body?" In fact, just as Carlisle was worried, losing 3 pounds would be very simple for a normal person, as long as they take some medicine that facilitates defecationactually referring to laxatives. It¡¯s really easy for a normal person to lose one or two kilograms just by pulling a few times. &??? " Bird and Smith couldn't help but were speechless for a while, and could only let out dry laughter of "hehe". Barkley then raised his left hand and shook it in front of the camera, smiling: "Kenny, do you feel honored that I wear these two rings of yours to play in the game?" Bird was immediately furious and said to Smith: "Okay, you kid, how dare you play the 'empty wolf' trick with me? Both of your rings were won by Charles, what do you want to bet with me?" " Smith smiled and said: "Larry, don't be angrydon't care if I'm a 'empty wolf' or not, just tell me whether you lost this bet? Do you want to default on it?" Bird was speechless for a while when he asked, and after a while he said: "Okay, I will lose this time! Remember, I will win the ring back sooner or later!" Smith smiled and said: "Hahahaha Okay, I will definitely give you a chance to win it back, but now you have to cash in your bet. Remember to bring the ring next time you come to the live broadcast room!" Bird: "II bought a watch last year!" ¡­¡­ Barkley showed off in front of the camera for a long time, until the referee called him for the second time, and then he hurriedly ran into the court. He came to his defensive position with his hands on his hips and watched the Jazz players slowly advance to the frontcourt. He couldn't help but feel proud and shouted on the spot: "You guys from the Jazz team opposite, please come over here. I, Sir Charles, are here again." Back!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 172 The finals held in advance (a 10,000-word chapter is asking for votes and rewards!) You can search "Am I cheating or proud?" on Baidu to find the latest chapter! Barkley screamed happily, but he really didn't perform much on the court. Apart from grabbing 2 rebounds, he also committed 2 fouls on the defensive end. To be honest, these two fouls were not unjust. He really had no choice but to pull the opponent's jersey because he couldn't keep up. He has been out of action for a long time, and even though his weight is very close to what he was before he retired, his feeling during the game is far different. I'm not bragging, but Barkley's talent is far inferior to the "old gangster" in every aspect, so even though they are about the same age, Jordan is still among the best in the league among outside players at the age of 39, while Barkley is only He can play as a substitute He can't even play in garbage time at the moment! Carlisle did not show dissatisfaction with Barkley. He knew very well that for an experienced veteran like Barkley, as long as he was given a chance to play, he would quickly find the feel of the game. But there is one person who will not let go of the opportunity to ridicule Barkley, and that is Smith in the TNT live broadcast room This guy can be considered as able to ridicule Barkley if he seizes the opportunity, so how can he be merciful to him? "Hahaha I'm laughing so hard. Is this Charles' first game back? 0 points, 2 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks Larry, have you ever seen anyone play so poorly?" "Michael was able to score 19 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals in his first appearance this season. Even if the shooting rate is a bit lower, it's not like he didn't score a single point, right?" "'The Great Sir Charles', I think it is a 'great joke', right?" ¡°If Barkley were in the live broadcast room at this time, he would definitely launch a round of real-life PK against Smith. Judging from the comparison of the two men¡¯s sizes, Smith would obviously be beaten badly The Pistons did not lose the game because of Barkley's poor performance. After all, they had accumulated enough advantages in the past. In the end, the Pistons defeated the Jazz 97:90, winning two more consecutive games after their 16-game winning streak was ended. Wang Dalin, who scored 29 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, attended the post-game press conference with Carlisle. A reporter asked Wang Dalin what he thought of Barkley's poor performance. Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Mr. reporter, I think you are not the kind of person who draws conclusions after just watching one game, right? I think any player will have a downturn in form, even if he is a historical superstar Didn¡¯t Michael only score 6 points in a single game this season? So this game doesn¡¯t mean anything. Charles will definitely prove himself, I believe in him!¡± Wang Dalin really believes that Barkley can regain his feeling for the game. Just by the fact that he lost 21 kilograms of fat in just over a month, you can see how much effort he has put into this A person with such determination, and Why can't it be restored? As long as Barkley can regain 50% of his former strength, or even only 40%, he will already be stronger than Brian Cardinal, who was laid off, and his rich experience in the playoffs is even more important now. What the Pistons are most in need of in the final analysis, these outstanding players are still too young! On March 16, the Pistons challenged the Bucks in a back-to-back away game. In this game, Barkley did not go to Milwaukee with the team, but stayed in Detroit to continue weight loss training. For a veteran of his age, 120 kilograms is still too heavy. If he hopes to return to the state closer to his pre-retirement state, he even needs to reduce his weight to a lower level than at that time, which is about 110-112 About kilograms. Don¡¯t think this is easy. When you first start losing weight, it may go very smoothly because your subcutaneous and internal organs are full of fat. But when you lose weight to a certain level, you will find that every kilogram you lose is extremely difficult! Barkley is already close to this bottleneck. He is very likely to be able to lose only one or two kilograms in a week of hard training, and he may not even be able to lose one kilogram. This is obviously a long-term process, but there is not much time left for him now, because the playoffs are only more than a month away. The away game against the Bucks didn't go well. The Bucks' players performed very well, especially Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson and Anthony Mason. Well, this Mason is Wang Dalin¡¯s old brother who was with the Heat last season! Wang Dalin scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Billups had 16 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Hamilton had 18 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Ben had 6 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks, Williams had 13 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals, Robinson 9 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists The Pistons players have already played very well, but unfortunately their opponents performed even better. The final piston??If you go two or three times, I will take your last name O'Neal! "Big Ben looked up to the sky and roared, and immediately struck O'Neal with a knife. O¡¯Neal¡¯s face turned extremely ugly after hearing this, but he usually doesn¡¯t reply after being frustrated. He will only talk trash after a wonderful performance. In the tnt live broadcast room, Smith exclaimed: "Oh my God, Ben actually blocked Shaq. This is incredible!" Bird showed a look of disdain and said: "Look at your worthless look What's all the fuss about? I remember that you and Hakeem were teammates for 6 years. Haven't you seen enough of his blocked shots?" ?" Smith said angrily: "But Ben is a full 6 inches shorter than Shaq. Isn't this a wonderful block?" Bird laughed and said: "Ben's official height is 6 feet 9 inches. He is only 4 inches shorter than Shaq. Don't talk nonsense!" (Big Ben: Larry is right, I am 6 feet 9 inches!) Smith gradually calmed down and said, "Larry, do you think these two teams will meet in the finals?" Bird was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "You put it like that, it's really possible! This year the Pistons are entirely possible to break through from the East. The Lakers, as the defending champions in the West, are of course the biggest favorites to win the championship. Both of them will win this year. The chance of meeting in the finals is really high!¡± Smith smiled and said: "If you think about it this way, tonight's game we should call it the finals that was staged in advance, right?" Bird smiled and said: "Well, I agree" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 173 ¡°OK Group¡± VS ¡°Li Ning Four Brothers¡± ?? "Give me the ball!" O'Neal shouted loudly while competing with Ben for position. For him, the block just now was undoubtedly very humiliating. He could endure Ben's trash talk, but he had to fight back powerfully. Fisher looked embarrassed. O'Neal didn't grab a favorable position and he didn't dare to drop the ball rashly. If Jason Kidd was in possession of the ball, he should be able to accurately pass the ball to O'Neal in this situation, but Fisher's passing skills are only average even if Kobe only has eyes for the basket. "Black Mamba", as long as he passes the ball with confidence, he will definitely be able to do better. O¡¯Neal finally squeezed to the front, and Fisher quickly lobbed the ball to him. Kobe on the other side glared at him, and Fisher felt aggrieved You two guys are really difficult to serve. If I hadn't won the championship with the Lakers, I wouldn't be here anymore! After O'Neal caught the ball, Ben worked harder to resist him. His strength was extraordinary, and even O'Neal found it difficult to fight against him. But O'Neal really can't make a big deal with his skills, so he can only choose to go hard. Big Ben tried his best to resist but still couldn't resist. O'Neal pushed into the basket and forced a layup. Big Ben rushed up and hugged him down. "Shet!" O'Neal cursed secretly in his heart, and he was about to take another free throw! When he walked to the free throw line, Carlisle on the sidelines shouted loudly: "Darling, Clifford, you two pay attention to the inside defense and don't let Shaq get into the basket easily!" Wang Dalin and Robinson nodded to express receipt. If either of them came to help defend the ball just now, O'Neal would probably choose to pass the ball to the outside. At this time, the Pistons have to make a defensive choice. Should O'Neal continue to cause damage at the basket, or should he pass the ball to others to shoot? The game has just begun. Even if the Pistons want to "cut the shark", they should not do it at this time, so they should give it a break Instead of letting O'Neal continue to attack at the basket, it is better to let others attack. Anyway, their offense The efficiency is not as good as O'Neal. The reason why O'Neal, the inside killer, is so powerful, even more terrifying than Jordan, is because no one can stop him one-on-one at the basket, not even peak Olajuwon or Duncan. His shooting percentage at the basket is too high. If he is allowed to play like this, even if it is only a two-pointer, it will be quite scary when the difference is added up. Carlisle has already made arrangements from the beginning. He only needs to pay attention to Fisher from the outside. Everyone else's three-pointers are not accurate Fox's three-point shooting percentage this season is only 31%, and Kobe's three-pointer is not accurate. The rate is only about 25%. O¡¯Neal made one of two free throws, the score reached 8:7, and the Pistons continued to attack. Wang Dalin came to the high post to catch the ball. After Billups passed the ball, he ran to the right corner. Fox is very close to Wang Dalin, and his defensive strategy is very clear Instead of letting Wang Dalin pull up from the outside, it is better to let him break in. At least the rest of the Lakers can help him defend. ??The vast majority of scorers these days are breakthrough types. There are very few players like Wang Dalin who are better at shooting than breakthrough. Fox's strategy of "focusing on breakthroughs but not shooting" is also correct. But if Wang Dalin has no choice, how can he average more than 27 points per game? You want to let me break through, right? Very good, then I¡¯ll break out! His current dribbling speed is as high as 85, and his ball control ability has also reached 80, which is better than most small forwards in the league. Even Jamal Mashburn, who has always been known for his sharp breakthroughs, is probably the same. Fox¡¯s defensive ability is indeed goodbut it¡¯s just good. He has not yet reached the level of a true perimeter defender! After Wang Dalin started, he successfully crossed Fox's defense through two changes of rhythm. After entering the three-second zone, facing the double-teams of Kobe and O'Neal, he immediately passed the ball to the wing. Hamilton caught the ball and shot, and the ball went in again! 10:7, Hamilton has already scored three goals since the start, with a 100% hit rate! Kobe was so angry that he smashed the ball hard on the floor. It was obvious that he came to help defend the ball and caused it to leak. Of course, the blame was his. "Kobe, don't be angry!" Wang Dalin said with a smile, "I have told you before that you can't keep coming over to stare at me. My third brother's shooting is very accurate!" Wang Dalin ran to his own half, and O'Neal also said to Kobe: "He is right, you really have to keep an eye on Richard, he has already scored three goals.I fought for a few more rounds, and the Lakers made 3 of 5 shots, including Fisher's three-pointer. But the Pistons didn't make much concessions. Wang Dalin finally opened up from beyond the three-point line. Billups scored a goal himself and assisted Williams to score a goal. The score between the two sides reached 26:20, and the Pistons still led by 6 points. The two teams began to mobilize their troops. The Lakers left Kobe to lead the second team on the court, while the Pistons left Wang Dalin and Big Ben. Of course, Carlisle will pay more attention to a strong team like the Lakers, so he couldn't help but choose to "beat the main team hard" in this game. The five players on the Lakers court are Lynch Hunter, Kobe Bryant, Devin George, Robert Horry and Brian Shaw. This is an obviously small lineup. The Pistons have Rafe Alston, Joan Barry, Corris Williams, Wang Dalin and Big Ben. Considering Wang Dalin¡¯s speed and Big Ben¡¯s height, this is actually a small lineup. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 174 Halftime Lead ?? Wang Dalin originally thought that the transition period of the game would be easier because the Pistons' bench was obviously much stronger than the Lakers, but during the game he realized that he had thought too simply. There is no other reason, because the Lakers' second team is led by Kobe. For example, Lynch Hunter, Devin George and Brian Shaw are three players. As a senior fan, Wang Dalin knows very little about them. He has never even heard of the name Brian Shaw. Lynch Hunter is still a veteran of the Pistons. He joined the Pistons in 1993 and did not leave the team until 2000. At his peak, he averaged 14 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.8 steals per game. about. In the original time and space, he would have returned to the Pistons as a substitute in 2003 and played until 2008 before leaving again, spending the last two seasons of his career with the Bulls. ??This guy was born in 1970 and actually played until 2010 before retiring. With 17 full seasons in his career, he can be regarded as one of the evergreens in the NBA. This season, his three-point shooting rate is as high as over 38%, making him the most accurate player on the inside and outside of the Lakers bench. Sure enough, he received a pass from Kobe and hit a three-pointer. Then, with Kobe attracting most of the Pistons' defensive attention, he caught the ball again and hit an open three-pointer. Looking at the Pistons again, although Wang Dalin and Ben were on the court, the substitute players were really weak First, Joan Barry missed a three-pointer from the outside, and then Alston broke in through Williams' pick-and-roll. Inside, his throw bounced out of the frame again. ?The next two teams each had an offensive strike. On the Lakers' side, Brian Shaw's mid-range shot missed, while on the Pistons' side, Williams' layup was interfered by Kobe Bryant. In just 2 minutes and 22 seconds, the Lakers caught up with the score. With 1 minute and 12 seconds left in the first quarter, the two sides battled to 26:26. In desperation, Wang Dalin had no choice but to take action himself. He forced a goal against Lynch Hunter's personal defense, and also caused a foul on his thugs. After hitting the extra penalty, Wang Dalin smiled at Kobe and then made a motion of slitting his throat. This action was too provocative, and the referee immediately gave him a "T", but Wang Dalin didn't care at all and still looked at Kobe with a smile. If it were just a few trash talks, maybe Kobe wouldn't be irritated by him, but Wang Dalin's "throat-cutting ceremony" was really too provocative. If he didn't respond immediately, he wouldn't be Kobe! After arriving in the frontcourt, Kobe immediately wanted the ball in his hand and wanted to single on Wang Dalin. Wang Dalin also followed suit and went straight up to him, and the two started a head-on duel near the three-point line. In the TNT live broadcast room, Smith exclaimed: "Darling King wants to defend Kobe alone? They must be out of position, right?" Bird laughed and said: "What's so strange about mismatched defense? Did that guy Ervin and I face each other back then? Didn't we still face off head-to-head all the time!" The two of them had just said something, and Kobe had already moved. Facing Wang Dalin, who was much taller than himself, Kobe didn't make any fake moves at all. His breakthrough was simple and direct, just using speed to attack. Wang Dalin followed up with a sliding step. He was definitely slower than his speed, but his defensive area was quite large after spreading his arms, so he only needed to maintain a good defensive distance. It would not be easy for Kobe to use his speed to beat him. Kobe's dribbling skills are quite exquisite. He dribbled the ball from the crotch and behind the back several times, and then pulled the ball in the opposite direction. Wang Dalin lost his center of gravity and almost fell down. Kobe quickly passed by and completed a one-handed basket. this attack. "Holy shit! This guy mastered this move so quickly?" Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel horrified after being stunned The move Kobe just made was clearly the "Sam Goad" he did in the All-Star Game! Sure enough, after scoring the goal, Kobe smiled slightly and said: "How does it feel to be defeated by your own moves?" Wang Dalin said angrily: "You will taste this soon!" The Pistons attacked, but before Wang Dalin took the initiative to ask for the ball, Alston, who was in possession of the ball, passed the ball to him. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????is indeed a good teammate by Chairman Yao's side, but he is very discerning, knowing that the boss has just been defeated, he must immediately come back with an "answer-ball". After Wang Dalin caught the ball, Kobe immediately joined him. In this case, there was no need for the head coach to arrange it Speaking of interest in one-on-one, is there anyone else in the entire league who can compare with the "Black Mamba"? Kobe Bryant was very close to Wang Dalin. He didn't dare to leave room for Wang Dalin to shoot He was much shorter than Wang Dalin. If he had to stay a little further away from him, wouldn't Wang DalinHe could not help but smile with reliefWang Dalin is not only an excellent player now, he has also become a qualified team leader! Wang Dalin made an extra free throw, and the Pistons led by 5 points at 59:54 The Lakers did not launch the last attack because there was only more than 1 second left and the ball ended as soon as it was sent. Wang Dalin scored 27 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block and 2 steals in the first half. His performance was very comprehensive. At the end of the first half, TNT TV station interviewed the best player of the half as usualof course it was Wang Dalin. "Darling, your performance in the first half tonight can only be described as perfect. Are you excited?" The reporter interviewing Wang Dalin was Reggie Miller's sister, Cheryl Miller. ¡°As expected of siblings, she really looks a lot like Reggie Miller. During this period, TNT TV stations were mostly narrated by Smith and Barkley in the live broadcast room, and the on-site reporter was usually Cheryl Miller Of course, Reggie Miller also started this line of work after retiring. "No, I think this is just my normal performance!" Wang Dalin replied calmly. Miller¡¯s hand holding the microphone trembled unconsciously King Darling, do you want to be so pretentious? 27 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists at halftime, is this normal performance? Your average per game this season isn¡¯t much higher than this, right? So Miller didn¡¯t ask anything else, just chatted with Wang Dalin for a few words For such an interview, Miller vowed not to do it again in the future. During the halftime break, Wang Dalin asked the team's trainer to give him a full-body massage This was not because he was deliberately trying to be a big star. It was actually a bit exhausting in the first half, especially the battle with Kobe. , it¡¯s really a lot of trouble! "We can't play like this in the second half!" Wang Dalin lay on the floor covered with a bath towel and thought silently. Although his physical strength is now as high as 90, it is probably still slightly inferior to Kobe's physical monster. He decided to let his teammates play more in the second halfBillups and Hamilton both scored in single digits in the first half! Thinking of this, Wang Dalin couldn't help but get excited - "Yeah, I'm so tired, and Kobe must be feeling bad too. I just need to pass a few more passes to Hamilton in the second half, and won't this 'Black Mamba' make him vomit on the spot?" In fact, Hamilton actually "walked" and vomited Kobe in the original time and space. Not to mention Kobe, Hamilton's dogs have been spit by him This is really not humans. If according to the scoring standard of the system, it is estimated that the full value of 99 cannot show his physical fitness! Carlisle was very satisfied with the result of the first half, but he was very dissatisfied with the game process because Billups, Hamilton, Robinson and others did not fully implement his tactical arrangements, which is why Wang Dalin played so tired. As a master tactician, Carlisle hates the situation where stars compete against each other the most, even if it is his favorite disciple Wang Dalin who competes with his opponent. "We can't continue to play like this in the second half!" Carlisle shouted loudly, gesturing with his hands, "The Lakers cannot be defeated by Darling Wang alone! You are all a member of this team, and I need you all Stand up for me!" After a slight pause, Carlisle lowered his tone slightly: "King Darling, in the third quarter you will focus on high-position support, with Chauncey and Richard as our main attack points Please tell me, do you have confidence?" " Billups and Hamilton hurriedly said: "No problem, leave it to us!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 175: Defeat the Lakers (a 10,000-word chapter asking for votes and rewards!) ?? The game continues. Phil Jackson didn¡¯t know what he said to the Lakers players. It seemed that everyone on the Lakers team seemed to be more excited. Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but snorted We were ahead in the game! After playing, Wang Dalin understood that they were going to "cut off the shark" Of course, they were not cutting down O'Neal, but cutting down Ben! This is also normal. The Pistons can "cut the shark" on O'Neal, why can't the Lakers "cut the shark" on Big Ben? Anyway, both of them are terrible at free throws Ben is even worse! After two or three rounds, the score between the two teams reached 61:62, and the Lakers took the lead by 1 point. Carlisle had no choice but to replace Ben, but he did not make the other party feel better and directly sent Gates. Aren¡¯t you going to ¡°cut the shark¡±? I will have sex with you tonight! O'Neal was also surprised when he saw Gates Damn it, where did the Pistons find such a guy? He's actually about the same size as me? "It's a pity that Gates only has a huge body. His skills are too rough. Not only is his offensive method single, but on the defensive end he can only protect the frame at the basket and nothing else. But that's enough. Carlisle sent him on the court just to hold up O'Neal under the basket, right? Some people may ask: Ben can't stop O'Neal even if he tries his best. Can Gates really stop him? In fact, Gates doesn¡¯t need to block O¡¯Neal at all. As long as he can push up a little, the rest of the Pistons can come over to help defend. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Can't stand it anymore can't we just commit a foul? Gates is a bench player among bench players. What¡¯s the big deal even if he is off the bench by 6 fouls? Carlisle sent him on the field just to commit fouls. If he can still carry O'Neal a little that's just an unexpected surprise! ¡°If you want to compete with O¡¯Neal in terms of skills, for a rough guy like Gates, of course it¡¯s just a matter of skill, but in terms of strength¡­ he can really compete with O¡¯Neal. O'Neal immediately felt the pressure brought by this big man. His back-up push encountered a lot of resistance. This resistance O'Neal had to do his best to have a chance to push to the basket. This does not happen in one or two seconds. It can be done! Of course Gates' strength is not necessarily stronger than Ben's, but his weight is much heavier than Ben's. In this kind of melee fight under the basket, sometimes weight is more important than strength! Wang Dalin came over in time to help defend. O'Neal saw that the situation was not good and quickly passed the ball. After receiving the ball, Kobe made a fake move and lobbed the ball to O'Neal. But O'Neal still couldn't push away Gates quickly, so Wang Dalin came to help defend again, and O'Neal accidentally intercepted the ball by Wang Dalin. The Pistons immediately launched a fast break. Billups and Hamilton played exquisite cooperation, teasing Fisher and scoring the ball easily. 63:62 Looking back, Fisher still firmly feeds O'Neal, but the Pistons have Gates to defend O'Neal. The league's No. 1 inside behemoth encountered the most severe test tonight. In fact, O'Neal can use his steps under the basket to beat Gates. After all, Gates can only use strength to hit the ground. In fact, his defensive skills are very rough O'Neal can't beat Gates with his skills, but beating Gates is still a piece of cake. Disc! If every NBA team can find a meat shield center who is not inferior to O'Neal in height and weight to restrain him, he will not be qualified to be recognized as the most lethal inside killer in the history of the league. But at this moment, O'Neal is obviously over the top. He still wants to use power to crush Gates Obviously, no one can use power to crush Gates, not even he can do it! Wang Dalin came to double-team, and O'Neal had no chance to attack, so he had to pass the ball to Kobe on the outside. After receiving the ball, Kobe finally took off the pass button. At this time, the "Black Mamba" turned on the "killer mode" again, just like he did in the second quarter. This is another wonderful goal that can be selected as one of the best five goals this week. Kobe is really good, but his style of play is destined to have a high hit rate. The situation on the court suddenly evolved into Kobe fighting against the Pistons alone. As you can imagine, the Lakers gradually fell into a disadvantage and soon fell behind by 8 points. Jackson quickly called a timeout. "Shaq, what are you doing? Why are you fighting with that stupid big guy under the basket? Where are your steps under the basket? Where are your hook shots? Don't tell me you can only play with brute force!" "Kobe, I've said it many times, we have to give the ball to Shaq. Only Shaq opened up under the opponent's basket."?Passed past Fox, but Fox did not panic. He still maintained his flank defensive position against Wang Dalin with a sliding step. Wang Dalin didn¡¯t care so much. He continued to forcefully take a step to the right, leaning his whole weight on the opponent. Then he suddenly stopped and made a pull-up jump shot! The ball hit the rim but didn't go in. O'Neal took off the rebound. There are 26 seconds left on the clock. The Lakers only need to press the time until the last moment to take a shot. In this way, even if the shot fails, the Pistons will only have about 2 seconds left. It¡¯s certainly enough to complete an attack in 2 seconds, but it¡¯s too difficult to score Don¡¯t think that anyone can score a buzzer-beating shot! Fisher gave the ball to Kobe. Kobe dribbled near the center circle until there were 6 seconds left in the attack time. He dribbled past Hamilton and entered the three-point line, and also made a pull-up jump shot The goal was scored! 102:100, the Lakers lead by 2 points, and there are only 3 seconds left before the end of the game! Everyone thought that the Pistons would call a timeout and didn't know the tactics of the last attack. Unexpectedly, Billups immediately sent a baseline ball. After receiving the ball, Wang Dalin quickly rushed forward. His speed at this moment was so fast that even those who reacted in time Kobe didn't catch up with him. But it was only 3 seconds, which was too short. Wang Dalin almost ran past the logo in the center circle, and there was only the last 1 second left on the timer. "Just die!" Wang Dalin jumped high and threw the ball in his hand. As soon as the ball left his fingertips, the red light on the backboard border was already on. The basketball drew a high arc, hit the box in the middle of the backboard, and then bounced into the basketWang Dalin killed the Lakers! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com I'm sorry for taking leave today. Today, Lao Wang ran out all day (for work). When he came back in the evening, he thought he could code a chapter, but he ended up sitting in front of the computer for more than an hour. His mind was a mess and he got stuck Everyone, I'm so sorry! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 178 Who should be the MVP? ?? On the evening of April 27th, the first round of the NBA playoffs was in full swing. The Nets vs. Raptors game was particularly eye-catching because the Nets also won the first two games. As long as they win again, With one win, they can become the second team this year to advance to the second round after the Pistons. In the first game, the Nets defeated the Raptors with a score of 93:68. Vince Carter was injured again at the end of March, leaving the Raptors to rely on Antonio Davis, last season's All-Star power forward, and players like Jerome Williams and Alvin Williams. Although Liu has certain abilities, they are just role players. If any team wants to overturn an Eastern Conference powerhouse like the Nets with the performance of its role players, it is obviously unrealistic. In the G1 game, Kidd scored 26 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Although he failed to hit any of his 4 attempts from beyond the three-point line, he made 11 of 19 two-pointers and his offensive efficiency was quite high. Kenyon Martin also scored 15 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. Next to Kidd, he finally showed some "No. 1 pick" style. Some people say that Martin is the benchmark for measuring the "No. 1 pick". Those who can compete with him cannot be called the "parallel import No. 1 pick". Those below him are all "parallel import No. 1 picks" Well, this statement makes sense! In fact, Martin's explosive style of play has a bit of the shadow of "Griffin" in his rookie season. They are about the same height and weight but Griffin is obviously much better than him. Before Paul came to the Clippers, Griffin He has already averaged 20+10 per game! And Martin averaged only 16.7 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in his peak season, but he always had a passing master like Kidd feeding him! In the g2 battle, the Nets defeated the Raptors 95:91. In this game, Raptors backup point guard Chris Childs scored 22 points, 5 rebounds, 14 assists and 1 steal, and he and Kidd actually formed a mutual conflict. Kidd contributed 20 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists in this game, once again hitting a near-triple-double It can be seen that this guy is really not a data brusher. If he is willing, can he not do it with one more assist? Antonio Davis scored 21 points and 14 rebounds, suppressing Martin in the paint who scored 19 points and 6 rebounds. Unfortunately, under the leadership of Kidd, the Nets scored in double figures with four players. The Raptors lacked Carter's offense. Duan Dawei's attack is indeed weak. The two sides of the G3 battle moved to Toronto. Under the cheers of 19,800 home fans at the "Canada Airlines Center Arena", the Raptors players were so powerful that they completely suppressed the Nets, a powerful player in the Eastern Conference. Antonio Davis made 14 of 19 shots from the field, plus 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 30 points and 8 rebounds. He alone destroyed the entire Nets inside line. Other Raptors players also performed very well, including Keon Clark with 18 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Alvin Williams with 17 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, and Chris Childs with 12 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists. , Maurice Peterson had 12 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists In this game, 5 players from the Raptors scored in double figures, but only 3 players from the Nets scored in double figures. The result of the game is self-evident. In the end, the Nets lost 85:94. It is indeed a pity for the Nets to fail to sweep the Raptors, but they are not discouraged. After all, they are now leading 2:1, and their strength is obviously superior It is impossible for the Raptors to be like today in every game. Are you going to get chicken blood like this later? In the playoffs, after all, we still have to fight for overall strength! On April 27, in addition to the Nets vs. Raptors game, there were three fierce competitions. Among them, the Spurs easily defeated the SuperSonics 102:75 and currently lead by a big score of 2:1. The Hornets defeated the Magic 110:100, and they also led by a big score of 2:1. In this game, the "first generation bearded man" scored a huge triple-double with 33 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, and 6 players from the Hornets scored in double figures Even the Magic had 5 players score in double figures, and McGrady scored After scoring 37 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, they could only swallow the bitter pill of failure sadly. The Kings narrowly defeated the Jazz 90:87 Since entering the playoffs, the Kings have completely failed to produce the unrivaled offensive firepower they had during the regular season. Under the Jazz's suffocating defense, they simply cannot produce the smooth offense everyone is accustomed to. On the morning of April 28, the league announced the last award of this season and the most valuable award - regular season MVP! This award was awarded to the Spurs star Tim Duncan. This news immediately caused an uproar as soon as it was announced. This season, Duncan averaged 25.5 points, 12.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.5 blocks and 0.7 steals per game, shooting 50.8% from the field and 79.9% from the free throw line. The Spurs also had a record of 58 wins and 24 losses in the regular season this season, second only to the Kings¡¯ 61 wins and 21 losses NoAdvance to the Western Conference semifinals. This game was indeed very fierce. In the last few seconds of the game, the Trail Blazers still led by 2 points. At the last moment, Kobe stepped forward and hit a three-pointer. When it comes to this kind of key goal that can lead to victory or defeat, the "Black Mamba" has always been someone else. This time he proved himself again! At the same time, the Mavericks also defeated the Timberwolves 115:102, also sweeping their opponents with a score of 3:0. In these three series, Nowitzki averaged 33.3 points, 15.7 rebounds, 3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, shooting 52.6% from the field, 72.7% from the three-point range, and 88.9% from the free throw line. This performance is really too good. Horrible! The 76ers finally made it back. They lost to the Celtics in the first two games. Allen Iverson failed to replicate the magic of last season. Although he scored 20 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals in the first two games, and 29 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1 steal, the 76ers still couldn't resist the opponent "Boston." "Gemini" bombings. In the G3 game between the two sides, Iverson scored 42 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals, and finally led the team to defeat this powerful enemy. Although Pierce and Walker still performed well, they could only lose sadly. On April 29, the Kings finally defeated the Jazz and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals with a big score of 3:1. Their opponent was the Mavericks who swept the Timberwolves to advance. The Nets suffered another heavy blow. They lost again in the G4 game. Kidd¡¯s performance in this game was seriously abnormal. He made only 4 of 15 shots and only scored 10 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists. For the Raptors, Maurice Peterson scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, Keon Clark scored 19 points and 16 rebounds, and Alvin Williams also scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists How much the Nets rely on Kidd, how badly they lost in this game 74:89, they lost a full 15 points, you know this is the playoffs! There is only one game on April 30, and that is the G4 game between the Hornets and the Magic. In this game, McGrady made 12 of 22 shots, including 3 of 6 three-pointers and 8 of 11 free throws. He scored 35 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 blocks McGrady is worthy of being a white horse and a silver gun. God moved the man to tears! It stands to reason that with McGrady¡¯s performance so explosive, the Magic should win easily. But apart from McGrady¡¯s efficient performance, the rest of the Magic team only made a total of 19 of 58 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 32.8%. It would be crazy if they could win! In the end, the Hornets defeated the Magic 102:85 and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals. They will compete with the Pistons led by Wang Dalin for a spot in the Eastern Conference finals. It is a pity that Tracy McGrady, the white horse and silver gun, is missing from the playoffs, but basketball is like this. It doesn't care how popular you are, there are only eternal winners and losers! On May 1, Iverson led the 76ers to another victory over the Celtics. In this campaign, he took 26 crazy shots and only hit 9 goals. However, he made 9 of 10 free throws. Excellent performance, finally scored 28 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals. "Uncle Mu" and Derrick Coleman also performed well inside. "Uncle Mu" scored 10 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks, and Coleman scored 14 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks. Both Pierce and Walker performed well, but unfortunately, the team only made 31 of 78 shots, and the shooting percentage was less than 40% This shows that the 76ers' defense is indeed airtight, but they also Only the defense deserves praise. Tim Duncan took a truce due to back discomfort, and the Spurs lost by a huge margin in the G4 game. The two sides battled to a score of 2:2 Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that if Duncan cannot return in the G5 game, the Spurs will It is very likely that he will be eliminated in the first round. In this game, Gary Payton scored a huge triple-double with 28 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, and the team's first-year rookie Vladimir Radmanovic and second-year Draymond Mason both scored Excellent performance, both scored 20+ points. ¡­¡­ Since they had swept the Pacers early and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Pistons players had a very easy time during this period. In addition to training for an hour or two every morning, they basically paid attention to the progress of each team during the season. Performance in the post-match. Until the Hornets advanced, the Pistons finally waited for their opponents in the Eastern Conference semifinals. I believe no one in the Pistons will be unfamiliar with this Hornets team. They have met 4 times in the regular season, and the Pistons have won all of them. As mentioned above, the Pistons should be the best team in the league against the Hornets because they have Wang Dalin, and their opponent's strongest scoring point is Jamal Mashburn. Marshburn is a small forward with a very strong impact and a very explosive style of play, but Wang Dalin is as fast and explosive as him, and his height and wingspan are better than him. But the situation is a little different now, because Mashburn was injured in the G1 game against the Magic. He only played 10 minutes in that game and limped off the court. He did not play in the following games. According to the official news released by the Hornets, Mashburn's left knee injury is quite serious, and there is a high probability that he will not appear in this year's playoffs. This is of course good news for the Pistons. The opponent team lacks a big boss who can average 21.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. In any case, their strength will be greatly reduced. The Pistons players and coaching staff probably never imagined that they would encounter unprecedented difficulties in this round of the series (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)Because of his speed and explosive power, and his height and wingspan are better than him.

On the evening of May 3, the G1 game between the Pistons and the Hornets in the Eastern Conference semifinals officially started. As everyone expected before the game, the Pistons quickly gained the upper hand at the beginning of the game. Wang Dalin, Billups and Hamilton frequently played exquisite cooperation, and the Hornets were almost completely unable to resist. In the second quarter, Barkley and Williams led the second team to defeat the Hornets' second team. At 6 minutes and 11 seconds of the second quarter, the Pistons already led by 16 points, 46:30. After the main players of both sides returned to the court, the Hornets launched a wave of offensive climax under the leadership of "the first generation bearded player" Baron Davis. However, Wang Dalin and Hamilton hit consecutively in the mid-range, once again interrupting the opponent's pursuit of points. momentum. In the third quarter, Davis had another wonderful personal performance Faced with this guy's powerful impact, the "second brother" seemed a bit powerless. After all, the opponent's physical fitness was slightly better than him. In the last round of the series, because the team's boss Mashburn retired due to injury after playing only 10 minutes in the G1 game, Davis, a 23-year-old young defender, stepped forward to shoulder the burden of the team's boss. . In 4 games in the first round of the playoffs, he averaged 25 points, 9 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 2.8 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game, shooting 40.2% from the field, 38.5% from the three-point range, and 74.1% from the free throw line. ¡°In the case of encountering a large number of double-teams by opponents in every game, Davis not only used his passing to organize the team¡¯s offense in an orderly manner, but also averaged only 2.5 turnovers per game. Such a point guard who controls more than 60% of the team's ball possessions only averages 2.5 turnovers per game. How safe and efficient is this? In comparison, as a forward player, Wang Dalin averaged 2.7 turnovers per game in the first round series! Wang Dalin had no choice but to use "touch your head" on "Second Brother" again. Unfortunately, the effect this time was not obvious. Davis's performance was still very strong, and Billups still couldn't stop him. In this way, at the end of the third quarter, the Hornets gradually closed the point difference to 72:79, and they entered the fourth quarter trailing by only 7 points. Carlisle sent out all his main players at the beginning of the fourth quarter. He did not execute his rotation plan step by stepit was obvious that he wanted to go all out to end the battle as soon as possible. Hornets head coach Paul Silas also responded tit-for-tat by sending out all his main players, especially Baron Davis, who played the entire third quarter and still stayed on the court. In the first 6 minutes of the fourth quarter, Wang Dalin and Davis started a wonderful and exciting scoring battle. The two went back and forth with amazing efficiency. Davis made 5 of 7 shots and scored 13 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. , Wang Dalin even made 6 of 7 shots and scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. If this is the case, the two sides will fight until the last two or three minutes before the winner can be decided. But how can the Pistons only have Wang Dalin fighting alone? Sure enough, when Wang Dalin's shooting touch gradually cooled down, Hamilton stood up again. This "emotionless killer" took advantage of the fact that David Wesley, who was guarding him, was a little weak, and suddenly ran around the screen to get into an excellent open position, and after receiving the ball, he hit a fatal mid-range shot. Hamilton scored 3 goals in 4 consecutive mid-range shots, and Ben also blocked the opponent's main center Eldon Campbell twice in a row. The brothers teamed up to open the score to 99:85. The Hornets tried to launch a desperate counterattack in the final stage, but Wang Dalin stole George Lynch on the defensive end and dribbled the ball himself and hit a chasing three-pointer on the fast break. At this point, the Hornets' situation was over, and Paul Silas finally replaced all the main players and surrendered. The final score between the two sides was 109:91, and the Pistons won very easily at home. At the post-match press conference, Paul Silas said that the Pistons are indeed stronger than the current Hornets, but they will not admit defeat. The Hornets will definitely come back in the G2 game no matter what. Even reporters don¡¯t believe this kind of thing With your strength, how can you win back the victory? After winning the game, the Pistons players were very happy. Billups even suggested that everyone go to the nightclub to have fun, but this bad idea was immediately banned by Carlisle Are you kidding me? If you go out to drink and dance at a time like this, do you think you are Uncle Liu Huang? It¡¯s not a shame. Before joining the Pistons, Billups was really not a fuel-efficient guy. He had always been a troubled youth. Otherwise, with his strength, how could the Timberwolves just let him go? Run to Detroit? You know Even in the original time and space, Billups has basically secured his position as the Timberwolves' starting point guard this season, averaging 12.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 39.4. %! ??After entering the court, the Hornets used all their main players, but the Pistons could only send Wang Dalin, Barkley, Williams, Barry and Jones. Because he fell while fighting with Lee Nairon just now, Robinson hit his left elbow heavily and went back to the locker room for examination by the team doctor. Wang Dalin saw the panicked expression of Paul Silas just now, so he thought that this was probably not done by the old coach who wanted Traylor to do this, and that guy should be such a nuisance. Wang Dalin, who has watched football for many years, knows a lot of dirty things about the NBA. For example, the Spurs' old thief Popovich, who is regarded as "Zhugewicz" by the fans, has favored Bruce more than once during his long coaching career. Bowen played dirty tricks on others. So in the playoffs that year, Kawhi Leonard was seriously injured after being stepped on by Zaza Pachulia. When the old thief Bobo cursed Pachulia angrily, Wang Dalin thought that he was totally bringing it on himself It is precisely "the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, who will be spared by heaven"! There was also Chuck Daly, the head coach of the Pistons' "Bad Boys" back then. He was the leading ruthless figure in the league. It was under his leadership that the Pistons became infamous as the "Bad Boys". In his name, Bill Laimbeer, Rodman and others are just carrying out his arrangements. Fortunately, there are still a handful of head coaches with such low character in the NBA. Just like Paul Silas, the coach of the opposite Hornets, he is obviously not this kind of person. There were about 2 minutes left in the first quarter. Wang Dalin and a group of substitute players managed to hold on for these 2 minutes and finally prevented the Hornets from taking advantage of the situation to open up the score. By the end of the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 23. :26, the Hornets lead by 3 points. During the break, the system in Wang Dalin's mind suddenly sounded a prompt Another temporary mission was coming! ¡°It has been detected that the host¡¯s team is facing an unprecedented dilemma, so the system has issued a temporary mission ¡®Happiness in the Sewer¡¯!¡± "Happiness in the Sewer: None of the main players are around. Host, are you scared? Are you desperate? Do you want to give up? No! Life will never be smooth sailing, and any superstar must go through many hardships to establish his superstar status, so Don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t despair, and don¡¯t give up, bravely fight against powerful opponents, and enjoy the joy of being a ¡®sewer warrior¡¯!¡± "Specific requirements: The host must have a triple-double in this game and lead the team to victory!" "Reward for completing the mission: The host will always remain in good condition in all subsequent games this season, and the overall durability will always remain at 95!" Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but feel helpless after seeing it It¡¯s simple to say, go up and fight a powerful opponent? ??You know that the other party is a "powerful opponent"? He is not being hypocritical As long as one of Billups, Big Ben and Hamilton can play at this time, he also believes that the Pistons are not without a chance of winning, but only he and a bunch of substitute players are left, how to fight? Even if Robinson can play? Huh? By the way isn't this system's mission called "Happiness in the Sewer"? If you want to say who is the strongest "sewer warrior" in the history of NBA, who else besides Russell Westbrook? Speaking of which he was the one who came up with the name "Sewer Warrior"! On the bench on the sidelines, Carlisle was still taking the time to explain offensive and defensive tactics to the players. Wang Dalin suddenly interrupted: "Coach Rick, I have some ideas that may allow us to win this game!" Carlisle was stunned for a moment and asked: "Darling, what do you think?" Wang Dalin smiled slightly and said: "Let me play point guard!" ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 180 Who is the weaker party? When he was with the Heat last season, Wang Dalin's main position was power forward Of course, he would sometimes swing to the fifth or third position. With his height, speed and strength, he can indeed play in these positions. Swing it at will, and the effect is pretty good. Wang Dalin¡¯s main position this season is small forward, but occasionally he will play the power forward position. He even played center when Ben was injured. One thing to say is that he performed quite well at the fifth position at that time, and he had a bit of a shadow of the later teacher Yue. When it comes to organizational ability, only Garnett among the players in the league who are over 210cm tall can compare with him However, Carlisle was still surprised when he suddenly asked to play point guard. "Darling, are you serious?" Carlisle asked seriously. "Coach Rick, don't you understand me yet? When did I stop talking seriously?" Wang Dalin said with a slight smile. "I'm not worried about your performance on the offensive end, but what about on defense? Can you keep up with Byron against him?" "Who said I have to face him when I'm on defense?" Wang Dalin blinked and said with a smile, "When we're on defense, we'd better let the defender defend him, and I'll be responsible for assisting in defense on the inside!" Carlisle was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then fell into deep thought. He understood what Wang Dalin meant. Under this tactic, Wang Dalin was the point guard when the team was attacking, and he was still the small forward, power forward or even the center when defending! This kind of tactical thinking is unprecedented. Even a master tactician like Carlisle couldn't help but think for a long time before he realized the beauty of it. In fact, there are some differences between Wang Dalin's "sewer" style of play and Westbrook in later generations. Westbrook himself is a point guard, so he will appear at the No. 1 position on both offense and defense. Wang Dalin plays in a different position, which means he cannot completely copy Westbrook's style of play. In summary, the style of play he envisioned is more like James in the later Lakers era Lao Zhan was the point guard in the Lakers, but on the defensive end, he often appeared in the third or even fourth position. After all, he is about 205cm tall. Even if he moves faster than most forward players, how can he match those ridiculously fast little guys at the first position? Furthermore, Lao James was indeed "Old James" when he was with the Lakers. His steps were much slower than when he was at his peak, and it is no longer possible to replicate his performance of single defense against Derrick Rose at his peak. The difficulties faced by the Pistons now are self-evident. Except for Wang Dalin, no one in the team can compare with the opponent. If he cannot crush the opponent forcefully, the Pistons will have no chance of winning. Carlisle thought for almost half a minute, and finally looked directly at Wang Dalin and said, "Darling, are you sure?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "No, but you also know that in this situation now, we will definitely lose if we fight normally. There is no chance of winning anyway, so why can't we give it a try?" Carlisle laughed and said: "What you said makes sense, but I am speechlessOkay, just follow the tactics you said, and the other players will fully cooperate with you!" Turning his head, Carlisle said to all the players: "Everyone, please pay attention. We can say that we are going all-out now. On the offensive end, Darling controls the ball. Everyone, please run and cover each other. Don't hesitate after catching the ball. As long as the opponent If there is no close pressing, let me attack immediately." After a slight pause, Carlisle continued: "When defending, we still use Darling as the core, shrink the formation and play zone defense. They don't have any decent shooters on the team. Don't be afraid of their three-pointers. Do you understand?" The players all responded: "I understand!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Everyone, you must take action immediately after catching the ball. Don't be afraid of missing the shot. Let's all rush for offensive rebounds!" Damon Jones asked weakly: "Is this the kind of total attack and total defense used by the Dutch football team?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "That's right, it's full attack and full defense!" ¡­¡­ The timeout ended and players from both sides returned to the court. The Pistons sent Wang Dalin, Williams, Barry, Jones and Alston. Paul Silas on the sidelines couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect Carlisle to let Wang Dalin play center, but what's the use? Silas certainly knows how many games Wang Dalin has played as a center this season, but at that time the Pistons had all the main players besides Ben. Who else did they have besides Wang Dalin tonight? It's just that Ben's absence may not be the end of the Pistons, but without the four main players of Ben, Hamilton, Billups and Robinson, if the Hornets still can't win this game, Silas feels that they Not as good asBut, everyone must be determined when shooting If we can't hit those mid-range shots, we won't be able to break the Pistons' zone defense. Do you understand? " "Byron, your personal offense must be more determined. I allow you to play freely when the opponent is assisting in defense. You don't have to pass the ball every time You are the most certain attack point of our team, do you understand?" Coach Silas is worthy of being a veteran coach who has been in the league for many years. His arrangements are spot on. But if the head coach sees the problem clearly and makes arrangements, will the players be able to implement them in place? Basketball after all, it still depends on the players playing on the court! And how can Carlisle, the master tactician, be a fuel-efficient lamp? When the players from both sides returned to the court again, Silas was shocked because he saw that the Pistons actually sent Gates! Gates has only played in 14 games this season, averaging less than 10 minutes per game, and basically appeared in garbage time. Because he is overweight and slow in movement, he can only stay inside when defending. As long as he is on the court, he will become a weak point for the opponent. But now that the Pistons have Wang Dalin, a master of help defense, Gates can safely and boldly defend the inside. He only needs to withstand the opponent Magloire or Campbell, and Wang Dalin will do the rest. With the Hornets' slow half-court offense, how could Gates be afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep up? ¡­¡­ Back in the game, it was the Hornets' turn to attack. Davis immediately scored a goal. He pushed away Alston to complete the mid-range shot before Wang Dalin came to defend him. The basketball hit the rim a few times and finally made it. Looking back, Wang Dalin dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and after a little observation, he lobbed the ball to Gates. After Gates caught the ball, he pushed forward with his back. He only pushed Magloire once and immediately shouted "Ya Zhi Die" and retreated Gates jumped from the basket and hit a dunk. No matter on the offensive or defensive end, Gates is a rough guy, but he can't stand up to his strength! Magloire is 211cm tall and weighs 117kg. He can be considered a very strong meat shield center. The Hornets selected him to cultivate him vigorously. This season, he averaged 8.5 points and 5.6 rebounds in 18.9 minutes per game. If he played 36 minutes per game, he would have 17 points and 11 rebounds He is obviously a good prospect for a super center! Unlike Campbell, a tall and lanky man who weighs 98kg, Magloire obviously has better physical talent and is in line with the current trend in the league of "those who get inside win the world" Who doesn't want a Tim Duncan? But his physique would be defeated against Gates Isn't this O'Neal? Wang Dalin got another assist. He just scored in double figures in this game, but he has already assisted 7 times. And plus the 4 rebounds in the first quarter, he has grabbed 7 rebounds. Looking at this situation, he may have a chance to score a triple-double in the first half. Silas frowned and fell into deep thought "The Pistons only have Wang Dalin as the main force, so why do we seem to be the weaker side?" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 181 Barkley, are you invited by the monkey to tease me? The first half of the game shocked almost everyone. Even the more than 20,000 Detroit fans in the "Palace of Auburn Hills" couldn't believe their eyes. When the Pistons lost four of their main players due to a fight at the end of the first quarter, they actually led the Hornets by a big score in the second quarter? If Barkley and Smith are still paired up in the TNT live broadcast room, even if Barkley is a die-hard "Darling fan", faced with this situation, he probably would not dare to place a bet on the Pistons. But the thing is so magical, people actually watched Wang Dalin lead a bunch of substitute players to beat the Hornets with a full lineup. Some people will say - "It must be because Darling King went berserk again, and he performed the same crazy performance as he did against the Bucks in the playoffs last year, right?" Yes or no, Wang Dalin is indeed in good condition, but he only scored 15 points in the first half, and his personal score is not exaggerated. But he also scored 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, which is a bit scary. "Half-time triple-double" I'm afraid this is another new record in NBA playoff history, right? Regardless of whether this is another record for Wang Dalin, just look at his assists and you will know The performance of the Pistons' bench players is outstanding! Charles Barkley, Corliss Williams, Damon Jones, Joan Barry, Rafe Alston, Gates Joseph The substitute players did not hesitate because the four main players were absent. They firmly They stood up when the team needed them most! Especially Barkley, an old guy who was playing as a substitute in the playoffs for the first time in his life. His performance in the second quarter was stronger than starting power forward Clifford Robinson, almost defeating the opponent's main center Eldon. Campbell did nothing. At the end of the first half, the Pistons led the Hornets by 10 points 50:40 This is a bit unscientific anyway! During the halftime break, the Pistons locker room was filled with laughter, and even Billups and Ben, who had been expelled, were smiling. "Brothers, you are simply awesome!" Da Ben put his arm around Wang Dalin's shoulders and smiled, "I'm really proud of you!" Billups also laughed and said: "Just now, my eldest brother and I thought we were definitely going to lose tonight, and we didn't know how many games we would be suspended for, so we were almost dying! I didn't expect you guys to play so well. It's really great." So happy!" Robinson said with a smile on the side: "Are you two so happy? They can win the game without you here. Does the team still need you?" Da Ben was stunned for a moment and said blankly: "Yes, what should I do?" Billups deliberately joked: "Fourth brother, how about you just deliberately lose in the second half? Otherwise, eldest brother should be disappointed?" "Fart! Who said I was going to lose?" Da Benpin came to his senses and said angrily, "Fourth brother, you can hit them how you want, kick their butts hard! Otherwise, wouldn't this fight between us be the same? Was the fight in vain?" Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help laughing, but he quickly stopped smiling and said with a solemn expression: ¡°I don¡¯t know how the third brother¡¯s injury is, there is no news yet!¡± Hamilton did not stay in the locker room after leaving the field injured, but went directly to the hospital. According to the judgment of the team doctor after a preliminary examination at the time his nose should be broken! If it is really a fracture, Hamilton will be reimbursed for this year's playoffs. Of course, it¡¯s useless to think about it now. Without Ben and several other main players, it¡¯s unknown whether the Pistons can get past the Hornets. If they lose to the Hornets in this series, the Eastern Conference Finals and Finals will have nothing to do with them. Whether Hamilton can returnwhat's the point? Da Ben patted Wang Dalin on the shoulder and said: "Don't think so much. Your most important task now is to lead the brothers to win this game first. After the game, we will go to the hospital to see our third brother together!" Billups said seriously: "Fourth brother, my eldest brother and I can't fight side by side with you, it all depends on you You must win this game for us!" Wang Dalin nodded: "I understand!" Wang Dalin¡¯s ¡°sewer¡± style of play was very effective in the first half, so Carlisle did not lay out too many tactics during the halftime break, but only emphasized some details for everyone. "Darling, you must be careful of the opponent's little moves in the second half. Now all our hopes are on you. If you get injured again we will really be doomed!" After Carlisle finished speaking to everyone, he specially gave Wang Dalin some instructions. &nb??"OK combination"? Even if Duncan can barely compete with O'Neal, there is still a "Black Mamba" in the Lakers who kills without blood! The Mavericks, who are competing with the Kings for a spot in the Western Conference Finals, are still too young. Although Nowitzki performed well in the series against the Kings, averaging 25.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 47.1%, they still could not withstand the Kings' tidal wave of offense. , defeated 1:4. In the G1 game of the Western Conference Finals, O'Neal and Kobe both performed brilliantly. O'Neal scored 26 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 4 blocks, while Kobe scored 30 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. ?? 5 players from the Kings scored in double figures, and Webb even scored 28 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists, which was a strong performance Unfortunately, they still lost, losing due to the number of core players in the team. When a single-core team encounters a dual-core team, it is often the single-core team that suffers. This is also the reason why James went to Miami to form the "Big Three" with Wade and Bosh If you have dual cores, I will give you the entire "triple core" to see who is stronger? On May 19, the Eastern Conference Finals are about to begin. The Pistons and Nets are old rivals. Every time they play against each other in the regular season this season, they will play very fiercely. The Pistons have won all four games and have a clear psychological advantage. But Billups was unable to play in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Hamilton was still recovering from injury, and two main players were missing. Nets head coach Byron Scott began to complain. At the pre-game press conference, Scott directly stated in front of many reporters that the current Pistons team is weak on the outside and weak on the inside. Of course, a reporter from the local Detroit media was not convinced and asked on the spot: "Coach Byron, you said the Pistons were vulnerable, but they still defeated the Hornets even though they lacked many main players. Doesn't this prove their strength? ?" Scott smiled and said: "The Hornets' star Jamal is not here, what's so surprising about the Pistons beating them?" The reporter was still unconvinced and asked: "But the Hornets are only missing one main player, while the Pistons are missing four main players. How can they be compared?" Scott laughed and said: "You have to know that what the Hornets lack is Jamal, the star, and the Pistons' star Darling Wang is still there, so in my opinion, they are equal in strength. Do you understand what I said?" "Sports Illustrated" reporter asked: "Coach Byron, you mean is one star player worth four main players?" Scott hesitated after hearing this, but he immediately smiled and said: "Almost, just like Jason in our team, he alone can be worth the four main players of the Pistons!" Kidd sat next to him and was shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly interjected: "Everyone, Coach Byron really praises me too much. I'm not that good!" Scott didn't take it seriously and continued: "Jason, you don't have to be too modest. In my eyes, you are much better than Darling King. Tonight's game will prove what I say Everyone, listen up." We will definitely defeat the Pistons and advance to the finals, with a score of at most 4:1, and it is very possible that we will even sweep them 4:0!" The faces of the reporters suddenly changed, but they were not frightened. Instead, they all smiled Scott, you are such a good person. Are you sending us news before the Eastern Conference Finals starts? At the Pistons' pre-game press conference on the other side, Carlisle became furious after hearing the news and immediately responded: "Byron said they would most likely sweep us, and they would only let us win one victory at most. I want to tell youhe is totally daydreaming!" Barkley even directly told reporters: "They want to sweep us? And the best it can be is a gentleman sweep? Damn it! I, Charles, put my words here We will definitely sweep the Nets in this series. There is no such thing as a gentleman sweep." , that¡¯s Sideways, do you hear me clearly?¡± The moment Buckley said these words, there was a "ding" in Wang Dalin's mind, and another temporary mission came. "It has been detected that host teammate Charles Barkley made bold promises to the Nets and vowed to sweep the opponent, so the system has issued a temporary task 'Barkley's Declaration'!" "Barkley's declaration: The host must lead the Pistons to sweep the Nets 4-0 to advance to the Finals!" "Reward for completing the task: The host can arbitrarily designate 2 ability values ??to be increased to the current upper limit (excluding ability items with full upper limit)" "Punishment for unfinished tasks: The system randomly deletes the host's 2 star skills!" Wang Dalin¡¯s face instantly turned pale after reading it¡­ Damn it! Will there be punishment for failing to complete the task? ???????????????????????????????????????? away out. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)white¡­¡­ Damn it! Will there be punishment for failing to complete the task? ???????????????????????????????????????? away out. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 182 The "Mask Man" returns The G1 game between the Pistons and the Nets begins. The Nets¡¯ starting lineup is point guard Jason Kidd, shooting guard Corey Kittles, small forward Keith Van Horn, power forward Kenyon Martin, and center Todd McCulloch. The Pistons¡¯ starting lineup is point guard Rafe Alston, shooting guard Joan Barry, small forward Wang Dalin, power forward Clifford Robinson, and center Ben Wallace. After missing Billups and Hamilton, the strength of the Pistons' back line has indeed dropped a lot, especially Billups, who is the best person for the Pistons to restrict Kidd on the defensive end. Although Alston performed well on the offensive end, averaging 4.6 points and 2.4 assists in about 12 minutes per game this season, his defensive ability is indeed a bit stretched. If the opponent is not Jason Kidd, maybe he can barely cope with it, but Kidd is best at dealing with thin point guards like Alston. He can just crush him with his body. This matchup can be said to be the Pistons. Most likely it will be completely destroyed. Carlisle is also helpless. These are the only cards he can play. Apart from Alston, he can only play Damon Jones. This guy's physical fitness is not much different from Alston, and his defense is also bad. He will still be crushed by Kidd when he comes on the court. And Damon Jones is an offensive combo guard with better scoring ability than organizational ability. In fact, he is more suitable to play shooting guard. In comparison, Alston's organizational ability is much stronger. "Joan Barry's main position is small forward, but swinging to the second position is not bad. He is strong and fast, and can attack and defend. He is currently the best performer among the Pistons' bench players except for Barkley and Williams. Although he cannot average nearly 20 points per game like Hamilton, his three-point shooting percentage from the corners on both sides is very high, and his defensive strength is slightly better than Hamilton Carlisle arranged for him to play against him. Kittles, who averaged 13.4 points, actually won't suffer too much. The matchup at the third position is the absolute strength of the Pistons. Wang Dalin has beaten Van Horn many times in the regular season. As long as the opponent does not double-team, he can beat Van Horn to pieces at any position. Scum. At the fourth and fifth positions, the Pistons are both regular season starters, especially Ben, who is much better than McCloch of the Nets. Overall, the Pistons and Nets each have an absolute strong point. The Pistons are Wang Dalin versus Van Horn, while the Nets are Kidd versus Alston. Nets head coach Byron Scott certainly knows this very well, so his requirement for his players is that as long as Wang Dalin gets the ball, he must double-team decisively no matter where he is. Wang Dalin's offensive efficiency is too high. If he and Van Horn were one-on-one, he could really beat the Nets to death by himself. On the Pistons side, Carlisle did not let players double-team Kidd. Kidd has only scored more than 30 points in 4 games this season Compared to his superb passing skills, his personal offensive efficiency and production are not that terrible. Especially Kidd's three-pointers are so inaccurate. Since the playoffs this year, he has taken a total of 46 shots from beyond the three-point line. As a result, he only made 7 goals and the shooting rate was only 15.2%. It is really stretched to the extreme. ! And his overall shooting percentage in the playoffs was also very low, only 41.1%. In a word Kidd is still an organizer. When he can only fall into a situation of unlimited one-on-one, his role is not that great! Facts have proved that Carlisle's tactical arrangement is correct. After the game started, Kidd did rely on his physical advantage to crush Alston, but his offensive efficiency was not very high, and his shooting rate was only more than 40%. And Wang Dalin faced double teams and passed good balls to his teammates again and again. In the first quarter alone, he sent out 5 assists, two of which even went to Ben at the basket "Big Brother" was so happy with the dunks. Got it! As a last resort, Scott had to replace Aaron Williams to face Wang Dalin. For this reason, he removed McCulloch Anyway, this guy did nothing in the paint, so he removed him and played the smaller one. The lineup is just right. Aaron Williams is 206cm tall and weighs 106kg. Although he is not the most defensive inside player in the Nets, he is currently the most suitable person to face Wang Dalin in the Nets. His lateral speed is not bad, and he can barely compete with Wang Dalin in terms of height and strength. Although he still can't defend him, at least he is much better than Van Horn's guy in defending Wang Dalin. Scott is not a fool who only relies on Kidd. He can be the head coach of the Nets, and he still has some money in his stomach. If the Nets can't solve Wang Dalin's problem, then??Okay, my nose hurts when I laugh! " Billups smiled and said: "Brother is right, this mask is really cool Unfortunately, the league has regulations that players without facial injuries are not allowed to wear masks, otherwise I would get one to wear too!" After a slight pause, Billups suddenly brightened up and smiled at the three brothers: "Now the eldest brother is nicknamed 'Big Ben', and the fourth brother is called 'Vulcan'. Should we also give the third brother a nickname?" nickname?" Hamilton said hurriedly: "I don't like doing these fancy things. Don't you have a nickname yourself? If you want to give a nickname, you first give yourself one?" Billups smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? How about I just call you 'Hawkeye'?" Wang Dalin asked in confusion: "Why is it 'Eagle Eye'?" Billups smiled and said: "Because my three-point shot is as accurate as the bow and arrow in the hands of 'Hawkeye'!" Da Ben smiled and said: "Your three-point score is accurate, but can it be more accurate than the fourth brother? In my opinion, the best you can do is call yourself 'Black Widow'. After all, we are all black brothers, so just be darker?" Wang Dalin interjected: "It's ugly to be called 'Black Widow'. It's better to be called 'Black Mamba'. This is the fastest attacking snake in the world. How about this nickname for my second brother?" Billups's eyes lit up and he immediately responded: "Okay, I'll call him 'Black Mamba' Well, it's time to give the third brother a nickname!" Hamilton smiled bitterly and said: "Don't give me a nickname, right? No one called me a nickname!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case! I'll give you a nickname, and I'll guarantee you'll be famous throughout the league!" Ben and Billups hurriedly asked: "What's it called?" Wang Dalin smiled slightly: "How about Mask Man?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com I can't stand the hangover anymore. I drank with my friends until late last night. I didn't get up until this time today. I have a splitting headache. I have to take leave today. Dear readers, I'm sorry! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 183 Second System Upgrade Giving Billups the nickname "Black Mamba" was of course just Wang Dalin's bad taste, and Billups himself didn't take it seriously. But Hamilton¡¯s nickname ¡°Mask Man¡± was so apt, so both Ben and Billups thought it was very good. Hamilton himself didn¡¯t object, so the nickname was settled. Hamilton is different from Billups in that he missed a few games not because of suspension, but because of injury, so even though he had put on a protective mask, Carlisle still put him on the bench. line-up. Fortunately, he had been injured for some time, and the surgery was very successful, and he wore a protective mask, so Wang Dalin knew that the injury to the bridge of his nose would not affect him, but might actually make him in better condition. In the original time and space, it was during this season that Hamilton wore a mask due to a facial injury. From then on, he became out of control and became famous as the "Mask Man". Wang Dalin even sympathized with the Nets in the G4 game They couldn't win originally, but now the Pistons have Hamilton, an offensive weapon who can contribute 20 points per game. It seems that this sweep is really going to happen. It's a done deal. Facts have proved that Wang Dalin¡¯s judgment is very accurate! In the first quarter of the game, the Pistons and Nets were inextricably tied The Nets did exactly what their head coach said, in order not to be swept, they played extremely hard. At this moment, Carlisle removed Williams and replaced him with Hamilton The "Mask Man" showed an extraordinary desire to win, and immediately used the movement to catch and shoot with great success. The score was opened in just two or three minutes. And due to Hamilton's activeness on the offensive end, the Nets' perimeter defense was suddenly riddled with holes, which also suddenly increased the offensive firepower of the Pistons star to a higher level Wang Dalin is currently in very good shape, and this season In all the remaining games, there will be almost no bad feelings! So the Nets were in trouble. Although they had Kidd, Martin and others and performed well on the offensive end, they struggled extremely on the defensive end and could not limit the Pistons' offense at all. This game was exactly the same as the G3 game. In the second half of the fourth quarter, the game had entered garbage time, and Scott had to replace all the main players. In the end, the two sides battled to a score of 104:87. The Pistons defeated the Nets by a big score, sweeping their opponents with a score of 4:0 and taking the lead in advancing to the finals. After the game, the Pistons players were very excited, especially Ben and Michael Curry, the two "old men" of the Pistons. After experiencing the disappointment of last season, success this season seems like a dream to them The Pistons not only ranked first in the Eastern Conference during the regular season, they are now the Eastern Conference champions! After the game, Carlisle decided that the Pistons team would return to Detroit immediately that night. They wanted to take the good news back to thank Detroit's loyal fans like Old John. On the return flight, Wang Dalin turned on the system in his mind and used the two random points awarded by the system to "speed" and "power". As soon as the speed and strength were both increased to 85, the system immediately issued a "ding" prompt, and then the entire system went black. There was only one line of words left on the picture in my mind - "The system is being upgraded. The total upgrade time is left." 23 hours, 59 minutes, 56 seconds55 seconds54 seconds" The last seconds of the countdown were decreasing by the second. Wang Dalin immediately closed the system interface as soon as he saw it. Since this upgrade will take a full 24 hours, there is no point in continuing to watch. He is quite looking forward to this upgrade of the system. He remembers that after the last upgrade, although the system canceled the fixed tasks and changed them to temporary tasks, there are still many temporary tasks, and the rewards he can get every time are also quite good. There are also milestones Wang Dalin always feels that these milestone tasks are still too few. He estimates that the system will release more milestone tasks after this upgrade. Based on his performance this season, as long as there are more milestone tasks, he is likely to have completed many milestones, and maybe he will receive a large wave of point rewards just after he is upgraded! After returning to Detroit, even though it was late at night, many fans heard the news and came to the airport. They held banners with "We are the Eastern Conference Champions" and happily welcomed the Pistons players and coaches. Old John suggested that everyone go to the "Auburn Hills Palace Arena" to have fun again, but Wang Dalin politely refused on behalf of the Pistons and the enthusiastic fans. In his words - "We just won the Eastern Conference championship, what is there to celebrate? When we win the championship, everyone willnbsp;"6.

Break any NBA single-season record for points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks, and you will be rewarded: 'Evergreen Badge'!" Wang Dalin pays more attention to the newly added "All-Star Game Milestones" and "Playoff Milestones", because he is likely to have completed some of them this season. There are 6 "All-Star Game Milestones" in total. Wang Dalin has completed 3 of them, and has obtained the qualification to draw A-level star skills for 4 times: "1. Score 40 points in the NBA All-Star Game. Reward: Draw 1 A-level star skill for free!" "2.

Won the All-Star Game Most Valuable Player (amvp) three times in total, and the reward is: ¡®Star of Stars Badge¡¯!¡± There are still "playoff milestones" that I haven't watched, so Wang Dalin is not in a hurry to draw star skills He has now reached the level of an A+ star, and he really looks down upon the skills of A-level stars. ¡°There are slightly more ¡°playoff milestones¡± than ¡°All-Star Game milestones¡±, and most of them are cumulative milestones that can be completed in just one season: "1. Score a total of 3,000 points in the NBA playoffs. Reward: Draw an S-level star skill for free!" "2. Grab a total of 1,200 rebounds in the NBA playoffs.

Win 150 games in total in the NBA playoffs, reward: draw 3 S-level star skills for free!¡± In this section, Wang Dalin is undoubtedly disappointed, because his cumulative data and cumulative wins in the playoffs are far behind. After seeing the changes in the milestone, Wang Dalin went into the "Special Badge Mall" and took a look. He remembered that after the first system upgrade last season, there were only 8 badges here, but now it has increased to 29. The effects of these badges are Leverage. For example, the "Star of Stars Badge", after obtaining this badge, the host will remain in good condition during the annual All-Star Weekend! This means that as long as he can get this badge, he will have a chance to win amvp every time he plays in the All-Star Game. As long as he wants to compete, it is estimated that it will be difficult for others to compete with him! After that, he looked at the "Special Equipment Mall". There was not much change here, except that the number of "goods" increased. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s use the star skills first!¡± Wang Dalin decided to take out the star skills first. There are 4 star skills, even if they are only A-level, they will definitely improve his abilities slightly (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 184 The belated finals After some extraction, Wang Dalin obtained four A-level star skills: "Snake Breakthrough", "Golden Bell Falling to the Ground", "Ma Long's Iron Elbow" and "Glove Stealing the Ball". "Snake breakthrough" is naturally the famous trick of Manu Ginobili, the Argentine basketball star who has not yet landed in the NBA. This breakthrough once made him kill everyone in the league, and he is simply unstoppable! Once upon a time, Ginobili's flowing long hair and agile breakthroughs were always an eye-catching sight in the NBA. Unfortunately Later, he was bald by Deng Daidu, and only his agile breakthroughs were left. . "Golden Bell Falling to the Ground" is the star skill of Wang Dalin's sworn brother Daben. After being assembled, it can be used 5 times in a game. Each time it is used, the host's strength can be increased by 8% and the weight can be increased by 10%. It is a low-level top skill. A great way to defend against big centers. I think this is how Ben can occasionally withstand O'Neal. Otherwise, with his height of 201cm and weight of 109kg, no matter how strong he is, how can he withstand the impact of O'Neal, a giant inside player? Needless to say, "Malone's Iron Elbow", as the name suggests, you can know that this is Karl Malone's ball-protecting move. Of course sometimes it is also very effective when used to hit people! "Glove Stealing" is of course Gary Payton's unique steal. With superhuman judgment ability, Payton has maintained a very strong stealing ability for a long time. He averaged more than 2 steals per game in 8 seasons in his career, including winning the steal title once in the 1995-1996 season. After equipping this skill, the host can increase the steal ability value by 10% in the last 2 minutes of each game. If the game is very anxious, this move is likely to affect the outcome of the game. It¡¯s a pity that Wang Dalin cannot equip this skill for the time being, because his tackling ability is only 79, which has not yet reached the minimum requirement of 85 for this skill. However, he can equip the other three skills, which gives him a slight improvement on both offense and defense. On May 31st, the G6 game between the Lakers and the Kings started at the "Staples Arena" in Los Angeles. The first five games between the two sides ended with a 3:2 score, and the Kings temporarily took the lead. This arena covers an area of ??approximately 88,258 square meters and can accommodate 18,997 spectators during basketball games. The arena has nearly 300 luxury boxes and 160 luxury suites, 15 of which are top-level suites. It should be considered a very luxurious arena in the entire league. ??And the scoreboard in the arena is the best in the entire league, even fans sitting in the last row of the stands can see it clearly. In addition, the arena is located in the bustling area of ??Los Angeles, with many good hotels and restaurants surrounding it The transportation is also very convenient, and the light rail can take fans directly to the door. The Lakers have only lost 7 times at home in the regular season this season. They certainly have reason to believe that with the support of the home audience, they will definitely win this life-and-death battle. ¡­¡­ Wang Dalin, Ben, Billups and Hamilton made an appointment to watch the game at their home. In order to entertain the three sworn brothers, Wang Dalin cooked a table full of authentic Sichuan cuisine, and everyone gave them thumbs up. . The game starts at 8pm. The starting lineup sent by the Lakers is point guard Derek Fisher, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Rick Fox, power forward Robert Horry, and center Shaquille O'Neal. The starting lineup of the Kings is point guard Mike Bibby, shooting guard Doug Christie, small forward Hedo Turkoglu, power forward Chris Webber, and center Verrati Divac. Of course, anyone familiar with these two teams knows that Fisher on the Lakers is just a "dribble guard", and Kobe Bryant's "Black Mamba" is the real commander in the frontcourt. And the point guard Bibby of the Kings is also a "pseudo point guard". He obviously plays the role of a shooting guard on the offensive end. The real organizers of the team are Webb and Divac. Kings coach Adelman is undoubtedly happy to have both Weber and Divac, because he knows no other tactics except the "Princeton style of play", and he has the most suitable players for the "Princeton style of play". Power forward and center. Of course, Webb's ability is not irreplaceable. At least Garnett, Duncan and Wang Dalin are the only ones in the league who can thrive under this system, but center Divac is really Irreplaceable. As the best passing center these days, Divac is crucial to the Kings' system. It can be said that without him, there would be no Adelman's "Princeton style of play"! While Billups was eating fruit salad, he asked inarticulately: "Who do you think can win this game?" Da Ben asked back: "Do you think?High because they only hit 9 goals in 18 attempts from the free throw line, which is a bit of a stretch! On the other hand, the Lakers made 12 of 17 free throws. Although the shooting rate was not high, it was this 20.6% free throw shooting advantage that ultimately became the key to the outcome of this game. The Lakers won the tiebreaker 112:106, thereby defeating the powerful opponent of the Kings, and finally reached the NBA Finals for three consecutive years. Since Jordan's Bulls dynasty, no team in the league has been able to win the championship for three consecutive years The Lakers are once again approaching the finals as the defending champions. They are very likely to create another Lakers dynasty after the Bulls dynasty. The outside world almost All eyes were focused on them. After the game, at the press conference, a Los Angeles reporter asked Phil Jackson: "Coach Phil, do you think the Lakers will win the championship this year?" Jackson did not hesitate at all and immediately replied: "Of course, our entire team is well prepared. We will definitely defeat the Pistons and win the 14th championship in team history!" O'Neal said even more domineeringly: "The Pistons have no way to stop me, not even the 'shark-killing tactic'! You have all seen that my free throw shooting rate in this year's playoffs was 63.8% Shaq has never I won¡¯t let my guard down at the critical moment!¡± Kobe also said: "They swept all the way in the East, so they didn't experience a real hard battle, and we defeated the powerful Kings. Our competitive state is undoubtedly above them!" Finally, Jackson made a concluding speech: "Obviously, this year's Western Conference Finals is the finals staged in advance. The Pistons are not our opponent. We will sweep them with a 4:1 gentleman!" The Pistons also immediately held a press conference. In front of many reporters, Wang Dalin smiled and said: "They obviously underestimated us, which will make them pay a heavy price Gentleman sweep? Very good! I won't Coach Phil is so arrogant, so I predict that the final score in this year¡¯s finals will be 4:2, and the Pistons will win the championship!¡± Carlisle also smiled and said: "We have waited too long, this is really a belated finals!" ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 185 My free throws are accurate now! ?? The generals of both sides had a verbal spat before the game, which also added fuel to the fire for the upcoming NBA Finals. According to predictions from the two major TV stations, espn and tnt, the ratings of this year's finals will reach 13. This number is higher than It is 0.2 points higher than the finals in 2000 when the Lakers won their first championship. This meansthe number of people watching each game of this year's finals will be close to 20 million. For the United States, a country with a population less than that of China, it is indeed an astronomical number. Of course, in 2000, O'Neal averaged 38 points, 16.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.7 blocks and 1 steal in 6 games in the Finals, and his shooting percentage was as high as 61.1% If we really count, O'Neal was the real O'Neal that year. The "Peak Shark"! This can be seen from his offensive rebounds per game. Since the 1999 playoffs, he has not averaged less than 5 offensive rebounds per game in the playoffs But since this year's playoffs, his average offensive rebounds have not been less than 5. Offensive rebounds have dropped to 3.8. There is also a shooting percentage. This season, he took a total of 252 shots in the playoffs and only scored 126 goals, with a shooting percentage of 50% Even if the defensive intensity in the playoffs far exceeds that of the regular season, it is obviously visible. O'Neal played much harder on the offensive end. Due to the impact of a toe injury this season and the restrictions of rules such as "defense for three seconds in the penalty area" and "legalized zone defense", O'Neal has fallen slightly from his true peak, but he is still the most terrifying insider in the league. The biggest killerthere is no such thing! So in the past few days while waiting for the Western Conference Finals to end, Ben will practice one-on-one one-on-one defense against big centers every day. His "sparing partner" is naturally Gates, who is closest in size to O'Neal. After a full season of training, Gates now weighs 138.5 kilograms, which is 4.5 kilograms lighter than his original weight of 143 kilograms in time and space. For a giant man like Gates, this is undoubtedly a good thing, because losing weight will allow him to run faster and his physical strength will last longer As such a majestic man, how can he not last? Speaking of durability Carlisle is very satisfied with the physical condition of the Pistons players. Since they swept the Nets in the finals, they had five more days of rest than the Lakers, so they will definitely have an advantage in physical fitness. Of course, what Kobe Bryant, the second-in-command of the Lakers, said is not unreasonable Five more days of rest will definitely give you an advantage in terms of physical fitness. However, since they have not experienced a hard battle in the Eastern Conference Finals and have rested for so long, can the Pistons players It is indeed unknown to enter the peak state immediately in the G1 game of the finals. With the war approaching, it is of course impossible for Carlisle to increase the amount of training, otherwise he would not be Carlisle but Riley. As for the G1 game, he is not too worried, because the Pistons are no worse than the Lakers. Although Carlisle did not travel from later generations like Wang Dalin, this does not affect his confidence in his players! ¡°If he also traveled from later generations, then he would know what kind of good card he currently holds in his hand It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a king bomb plus four 2s, right? The first is Wang Dalin, the boss of the team He is currently an A+ star. Although his overall ability value is only 90, his real combat power is no longer even lower than Kobe. In this era of advocating inside offense, he is completely It's a big killer on the offensive end! Secondly, Pistons coach Billups was known as "the most low-key FMVP in history" in the original time and space. His playing style is unpretentious and his golf intelligence is outstanding and calm. Shooting guard Hamilton is a very mature A-level star. His offensive strength is very close to that of the "Soup God" of the later "Universe Yong". There is also Ben, the team's inside pillar. As the core of defense, he is already very good, especially good at assisting defense in the three-second zone. In addition, the Pistons also have high-quality role players such as Robinson, Barkley, Williams, Barry, and Jones. Carlisle certainly has reason to believe that they can completely defeat the Lakers' second team in the transition period. No need to brag, this Pistons team is definitely no less powerful than the Pistons team that won the championship in 2004 in the original time and space! Originally, in time and space, the Pistons relied on their suffocating defensive intensity to win the championship, but as we all knowthat old boy Larry Brown has never been able to coach the offense! Maybe Wang Dalin and the others can't play the super defense of that Pistons team, but their offensive firepower is at least two levels higher than that Pistons team! This is the 21st century. Who said that only defense can win championships? Wang Dalin from 2021 clearly remembers that the "Cosmic Brave" won the championship in 2017 not with any suffocating defense, but with the league's most powerful offense! At once?, but when he noticed Carlisle's calm expression, his heart immediately thumped "No way?" When Da Ben walked to the free throw line, Wang Dalin quickly said to him: "Brother, don't be shy, my second brother and I are with you!" Billups also said: "Brother, come on!" ?? Ben laughed, and after catching the ball, he made a "empty urinal" gesture, which immediately caused an uproar in the audience. "Isn't it?" Smith was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head. "Are you going to use Rick Barry's action to shoot free throws?" Bird was also shocked and murmured: "He can't shoot as accurately as Rick, can he?" As if responding to their questions, as well as responding to the entire audience, Ben raised his hands and threw the ball. The ball passed through the basket with a "swish" sound, and the home fans exploded with a "boom" sound. pot. The ball that Ben threw was as smooth and smooth as Dove chocolate. One look at it and you knew that he was definitely not fooled. He also successfully scored the second goal, and Jackson suddenly had a long face Obviously he can't continue to "cut costs" tonight! "Haha, Phil, you don't look so good!" Ben deliberately ran past the Lakers bench, laughing as he ran, "You think I can't make a free throw, right? Let me tell you, my current The free throw is accurate!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 186 Who is the strongest No. 8? ?? As soon as Ben finished his game, the Lakers suddenly hit a baseline pass. Kobe dribbled to the frontcourt at lightning speed, changed direction and passed Hamilton, and rushed to the basket for a backhand dunk. Hamilton hurriedly signaled to his teammates that the ball belonged to him. Wang Dalin patted him on the shoulder to show that the ball was nothing and not to take it too seriously. Everyone was paying attention to O'Neal who was running forward slowly on this ball just now. They didn't expect that Kobe would completely ignore any tactics and complete the offense single-handedly In this period, sometimes this is what Kobe does. . "Defense, follow your own men!" After quickly running back to his own half, Kobe shouted to his teammates. Wang Dalin noticed Kobe¡¯s cold and bloodthirsty eyes, and couldn¡¯t help but feel a thump in his heart Oops, this guy looks like he¡¯s about to go crazy! It is said that as long as the Lakers can defend O'Neal, it is half the success. The other half is that someone must be able to deal with Kobe's "Black Mamba". Although Hamilton is great, it is obviously unrealistic for the Pistons to rely on him alone to offset Kobe's role. Therefore, team leader Wang Dalin has a heavy burden on his shoulders In addition to helping Ben defend O'Neal, he also has to work with Kobe Never fall behind in the competition. Sure enough, after the Pistons' offense advanced to the frontcourt, Wang Dalin discovered that Kobe and Fox had switched positions, and Kobe had to guard him personally. As a member of the best defensive second team this season, Kobe's defensive ability is obviously better than Fox, and his super physical fitness is enough to allow him to remain quite aggressive on both ends of the offense and defense. "You still can't help it, right?" Wang Dalin grabbed the ball with one hand and made a pose with a smile after catching the ball, "But what's the use of guarding me? You can only waste your energy in vain!" Kobe replied: "If you are so careless when you confront me, be careful and you will make a fool of yourself soon!" It was too late, then it was too soon As soon as he finished speaking, "Black Mamba" suddenly jumped forward and slapped the ball away from Wang Dalin's hand. He continued to move forward and wanted to grab the second spot, but Wang Dalin slid over and grabbed the ball again. "DamnI almost lost the ball, but luckily I have long hands!" Wang Dalin was still frightened and did not dare to do the dishonorable pose of grabbing the ball with one hand. Instead, he held the ball with both hands in a triple-threat pose. At this time, his position is still more than two meters away from the three-point line. Even if he assumes a triple threat posture, Kobe does not think that he will pull up from such a distance, so his defensive position is slightly behind. "Ahem? How dare you let me go so far?" Wang Dalin pulled it up and threw it. Kobe quickly turned around and shouted: "Get the rebound!" O'Neal kept the ball outside the three-second zone. As long as the ball didn't go in, he had an 80% chance of grabbing a long rebound. But the basketball passed through the basket with a "swish" sound This super long three-pointer went in! Wang Dalin really doesn't like to shoot three-pointers from such a far position, but this does not mean that he is not capable of shooting three-pointers from far away Although it is not as accurate as a regular three-pointer, if no one is defending, he can hit such a ball. The rate can also be more than 40%. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT Out of Stock Kobe was obviously a little surprised that Wang Dalin could make a shot from such a long distance, but his mental quality was notoriously good, so his expression remained as usual and he came to the frontcourt minding his own business. After Fisher dribbled the ball past half-court, O'Neal quickly entered the inside position, but Ben refused to let him get into a favorable position this time and kept entangled with him. Fisher hesitated for a moment and passed the ball to Kobe outside the left three-point line. Hamilton crouched down and stared at his right shoulder Kobe's dominant hand is his right hand. As long as he breaks through, usually he will still use his right hand for the first dribble. There¡¯s nothing wrong with his defensive thinking, but Kobe¡¯s skills have surpassed most NBA players, so you can¡¯t simply bet on probability with this thinking. Sure enough, Kobe dribbled with his left hand and rushed inside from the left. Although Hamilton made a mistake in judgment, he moved quickly and followed closely. But this was just a feint by Kobe. He stepped down and dribbled the ball, changed direction and rushed to the right. Hamilton was unable to recover in time, and was almost shaken to the ground due to his unstable center of gravity. Kobe took a leisurely mid-range shot and the ball went in. "It's better that you guard me, your third brother can't guard me!" When running back, Kobe deliberately passed by Wang Dalin and left such a trash talk. Wang Dalin smiled and said: "You should be careful firstWhen I was with the Chinese team, Larry even came to coach me specifically. Fourth brother, you can't deliberately mess with him! " Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Don't you ask me if I can beat Kobe?" Hamilton put his hand on his shoulder and smiled: "I believe you As long as you play hard, Kobe can't beat you on the offensive end!" Ben and Billups all nodded and said, "Yes, in terms of scoring points, who in this league can match you?" Wang Dalin smiled bitterly and said: "You really think highly of me! Forget it, I'll just try my best anyway. As for whether I can score more points than him, I can't guarantee it!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden "ding" in his mind The system issued another temporary task! ¡°It has been detected that the host is about to have a personal showdown with Lakers legend Kobe Bryant in the finals, so the system has issued a temporary mission ¡®Who is the strongest No. 8¡¯!¡± "Who is the strongest No. 8: The host needs to score more than Kobe Bryant in this game and lead the team to win the opponent's team!" "Reward for completing the mission: In the next game, the host can attack 8 consecutive times at any designated time with 100% hit!" "Punishment for unfinished tasks: The host will miss 100% of its attacks 8 times at a randomly designated time in the next game!" "Note: Considering that the host is currently in good condition, Kobe Bryant will be in the same state as he was during the peak game of his career in the second half. Please be extra careful!" Wang Dalin¡¯s face instantly turned pale after watching it The pinnacle game of Kobe¡¯s career, he knew which one it was even if he thought about it with his butt! I'm afraid everyone on earth knows about Kobe's 81-point feat in a single game, but few people know that he made 18 of 28 shots in the second half alone, including 6 of 11 three-pointers and 13 of 14 free throws. Scored 55 points That's why Wang Dalin was shocked. This is really not Wang Dalin's cowardice, but a head-to-head PK with Kobe who scored 55 points in the first half. The difficulty seems a bit too high, right? Who is the strongest No. 8? Damn it! I admit that he is Can we withdraw the mission? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 187 Ace vs. Ace (a 10,000-word chapter asking for votes and rewards!) ?? I am afraid that no one thought that the second half of the G1 game between the Lakers and the Pistons in the Finals would be such a good show. Even Wang Dalin himself didn¡¯t think of it, because he was still a little timid about his PK with Kobe on that peak night. But you can¡¯t blame him. As for Kobe who scored 55 points in the first half who wouldn¡¯t shudder after seeing that? Why does Kobe Bryant have the highest popularity in the league in later generations, and even claims to have "6 billion fans"? It¡¯s not because of his continuous strong personal performance after O¡¯Neal left. He not only performed the miracle of scoring 81 points against the Raptors in a single game, but also slaughtered the Mavericks with 62 points in three quarters. That¡¯s not all, he also scored 50+ points in 4 consecutive games, 40+ points in 9 consecutive games, 35+ points in 13 consecutive games, 30+ points in 16 consecutive games, and averaged 35.4 points per game in a single season It can be said that since the beginning of the modern basketball era in the 1980s, Kobe has been the most terrifying scoring machine, bar none! From the perspective of offensive power alone, Kobe is even more powerful than the "old gangster". In the small ball era, league rules increasingly encourage offense and restrict defense, and many scoring masters have indeed emerged. For example, Durant, Harden, Curry, James Lin and others, they want to score as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. But Durant¡¯s physical strength is a bit weak, so it¡¯s easy to score 30 or 40 points in a game, but he has only scored 50+ points in a single game 4 times in his career; Harden averaged 36.1 points per game in his peak season, which was higher than Kobe's 35.4 points, and he had a lot of 50+ and 60+ points in a single game. But after all, he still relies on the rules, otherwise he would not get the title of "The Porcelain King" ; Curry is somewhat similar to Durant. He has scored 50+ points in a single game too few times in his career. As a super scorer, he lacks strong high-end data support. James is quite strong, he averages very high points per game, and he has a strong body, excellent physical strength, and few injuries. He can score efficiently for a long time, but he has scored 50+ points in a single game in his career. The number of times is far less than that of Kobe, and he only had 60+ points in a single game once! ????????????????????????? And the above-mentioned offensive powerhouses still have some influence from the rules of the small ball era. If they are completely synchronized with Kobe¡¯s career, the offensive firepower of these few will probably decline slightly. Of course, super giants like them are definitely super giants no matter what era they were in, but they should be a little weaker Well, it's just a single-finger offensive firepower! So it is normal for Wang Dalin to be timid. At this moment, he even hoped that he was not a time traveler If he didn't know Kobe's horrific personal performance, it would be happier to be a fearless ignorant, right? Carlisle noticed something strange about Wang Dalin and asked with concern: "Darling, what's wrong with you? You don't look very good. Do you want me to take your place and get some more rest later?" Wang Dalin hurriedly said: "No, you can let anyone rest, but don't let me rest!" Are you kidding me? There is a high probability that Kobe Bryant will score 50+ points in the second half tonight! It¡¯s only half-time now, and I already feel like there¡¯s not enough time. You still want me to rest? If I take a rest, won¡¯t I lose? ¡°Hmm¡­even if you go up to fight, you will probably lose, but at least you have to let me go up and fight, right?¡± Hearing Wang Dalin¡¯s words, Carlisle showed a happy smile on his face. ??You guys, take a good look at this, what is leadership temperament? What does it mean to give up who I am? "Don't look at Darling - Wang is only 20 years old and looks gentle and quiet, but the young man has a lot of energy! Who of you can compare with others? ¡°Hmm¡­there is also Barkley here, he can be compared! In Game 6 of the 1993 Western Conference Finals, when the Suns and SuperSonics battled to the last quarter and the Suns coach was about to replace Barkley, this guy once said a touching words - "Don't replace me." , I will have a lot of time to rest after I die!¡± Wang Dalin¡¯s phrase ¡°You can let anyone rest, but don¡¯t let me rest¡± perfectly complements Barkley¡¯s famous saying! Just a few months later, Barkley returned to TNT and talked about the incident live. He said with emotion at the time: "We were all shocked after he said those words. I only had one thought at the time Darling Wang is such a man!" "Don't doubt the authenticity of Barkley's words. That's what he must have thought at the time In the NBA, an iron-blooded battlefield full of muscle and sweat."It can be seen that he really attaches great importance to this G1 game in the finals, and also attaches great importance to the personal duel between Kobe and Wang Dalin. In fact, he doesn't like Kobe to compete with the opponent's star. This is normal. In the Lakers wouldn't it be more reliable to hand the ball to O'Neal to attack the inside? But tonight he had to let Kobe and Wang Dalin compete, because O'Neal was indeed a bit stretched on the offensive end tonight. And as long as he catches the ball inside, the Pistons players will immediately "cut the shark" His free throws tonight are worse than usual. If you give him the ball to play, the Lakers will be in trouble! ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I¡¯m afraid the only one who can tolerate the brutal aggression of his own star is Larry Brown. He really doesn¡¯t understand offense. What can he do if Iverson is not allowed to take a solo shot? In addition to him, which head coach is willing to go to a dozen or even three dozen or even three dozens of three? If Kobe hadn't shown amazing offensive efficiency tonight, even if O'Neal attacked his hips, Jackson would not have allowed him to do it alone. In the final analysis, it still depends on the offensive efficiency! After Kobe Bryant scored this goal, Wang Dalin once again asked for the ball from the backcourt. He and Kobe Bryant were at loggerheads tonight. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I must also enter one Since it is ace versus ace, let's see who of us is better! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 188 Two 70+ ?? When Wang Dalin slowly dribbled across half the court and came to the Lakers players, he casually looked at No. 8 in front of him while dribbling. When they were still two meters away from each other, something unexpected happened. It started suddenly and unexpectedly. He leaned forward, stretched his right hand holding the ball horizontally to the left, and then pulled it back to the right like lightning This is "Sam Goad"! At this moment, Wang Dalin's body was extremely tilted, as if it had formed a very beautiful and weird curve His right foot kicked up again, and in the blink of an eye, Kobe had lost his figure. This is not the first time Wang Dalin has shown "Sam Goad" in front of Kobe Bryant. He has even used it once in this game. But when he pulled the ball in reverse direction to break through, Kobe's center of gravity was still unstable and he was shaken by him. This shows how effective Wang Dalin's breakthrough was. Wang Dalin's breakthrough speed has not slowed down at all. In just a split second, he has already entered the Lakers' three-second zone. There is someone in front of him at this moment, it is the Lakers' number one star "Shark" O'Neal, and on his side, there is Horry Although Wang Dalin's breakthrough passed Kobe's defense line this time, it may not be enough. It can be smooth sailing. O¡¯Neal just calmly moved a little to the right. His task was to protect the frame at the end. It was Horry who really stepped forward to cover the defense. Wang Dalin¡¯s momentum continued unabated, he collected the ball in his hand when facing Horry and began to take three big steps. Horry got into position and covered his crotch with both hands. Obviously he wanted to cause Wang Dalin to hit someone with the ball. I have to say that his idea was quite good, because Wang Dalin's last two steps were indeed very fast, and if he failed to close the momentum, he might even throw the ball into his arms. It's a pity that he forgot that Wang Dalin had already shown two "snake breaks" in the third quarter. As soon as this large European step was revealed, Horry was immediately passed. There is only one O'Neal left between him and the basket, but Wang Dalin's take-off height after the European step is really limited. It is not easy to complete the shot under O'Neal's defense. ¡°But Wang Dalin had no intention of completing the move in the first place, he had already planned all this. "oops¡­¡­" The basketball came out of his hand, and Wang Dalin fell backwards and fell onto his back The referee immediately blew the whistle and awarded O'Neal a defensive foul. ¡°I didn¡¯t even move, he bumped into me himself! And I was in the reasonable collision area, how could this be a defensive foul?¡± O¡¯Neal hurriedly rushed to the referee to argue. "I saw clearly that there was movement with your feet just now, and your right foot was not in the reasonable collision zone!" Facing a superstar like O'Neal, the referee's attitude was pretty good. "Buthe took the initiative to pounce on me!" O'Neal was obviously still unconvinced. The referee¡¯s expression became much more serious: ¡°Shaq, if you don¡¯t want me to give you a T, just shut up!¡± There is of course no problem with this penalty. Regardless of whether Wang Dalin took the initiative or not, O'Neal must have committed a foul. This is beyond doubt. Since it¡¯s a foulhow can you commit a foul if you don¡¯t take the initiative to pounce on it? Of course, he didn¡¯t do what some later stars did, and he would pounce on the opponent as soon as he faked a shot. That kind of fouling was indeed a bit shameless. ??There is a cylinder in shooting. If you pounce forward, how big should your cylinder be? A layup is different because you have to jump forward. O'Neal didn't dare to speak anymore, and Kobe also looked serious. He knew that Wang Dalin was responding to the foul he committed just now. After the fourth quarter, Kobe's shooting percentage dropped slightly, so he attacked the basket more on the offensive end, mainly to cause damage to the Pistons inside. Wang Dalin also had the same idea If you want to cause fouls for our inside players, I will also cause fouls for your inside players, but basically you can only hit Robinson, and I will directly hit your inside pillar O'Neal, it depends on who Worse! After making two free throws, Wang Dalin and Kobe scored 50 points and 53 points respectively. He is still slightly behind. He originally scored 1 point less than Kobe in the first half, was also 1 point behind in the third quarter, and fell behind by another 1 point in the fourth quarter It's really not a good thing to score against Kobe at his peak! It was the Lakers' turn to attack. Kobe dribbled from the backcourt to the frontcourt again, and Wang Dalin also came to him again. Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball continuously, then broke through from the left, and Wang Dalin followed closely. But Kobe Bryant??I only have the championship in my heart. If there is a chance to meet her, I will wait until I win the championship! " "Well, thank you for accepting my interview, and I wish you all the best!" "Thanks!" ¡­¡­ Wang Dalin returned to the locker room exhausted. As soon as he entered the door, he was poured a bucket of "Gatorade" to his heart. When he turned around, he saw that it was Ben and Barkley. The moment he turned around, Robinson and Gates gave him another bucket. After being rinsed with two buckets of "Gatorade" mixed with ice cubes, Wang Dalin's white jersey was completely dyed orange. At first glance, it looked like the Lakers' home jersey. Carlisle walked in from the outside and was stunned for a moment when he saw Wang Dalin's wretched appearance. Then he suppressed a smile and said, "Darling, go wash up and change clothes. Come with me to the press conference later!" "Okay, wait for me for 5 minutes" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 189 Another new endorsement ?? Post-match press conference. The reporter in Los Angeles first fired at Wang Dalin: "Darling Wang, first of all, congratulations on breaking your personal scoring record in the finals tonight! You scored 75 points in the game, but we all noticed that you only had 1 assist in the entire second half. I Can you think this is extremely selfish?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "I sent out a total of 5 assists tonight. Do you think I played very selfishly? You can check, who in NBA history scored more than 70 points and 5 assists in a single game?" How to check this? In NBA history, there are only four people who have scored 70+ points in a single game, namely Wilt Chamberlain, David Thompson, Elgin Baylor and David Robinsonand they all did so in the regular season. With such a performance, there have never been such high scores in the playoffs and finals. Prior to this, the NBA playoff single-game scoring record was Michael Jordan's 63 points, followed by Charles Barkley's 56 points. Of course, Jordan also scored 56 points in a single game. As for the personal single-game scoring record in the Finals, Jordan still holds it. It was when the Bulls faced the Suns in the 1992-1993 season finals. Jordan scored 55 points in a single game. In that game, Jordan also contributed 8 rebounds and 4 assists However, the gap between 55 points and 70+ is too big, and it is not comparable at all. What¡¯s more, Kobe also scored 74 points in this game! To put it harshly, compared with the 55 points in a single game and the two of them scoring 70+ at the same time, it is simply not even qualified to lift shoes! The reporter from Los Angeles sat down with some sternness, and it was obvious that his face was very ugly. It's no wonderthe Lakers lost to the Pistons in Game 1, and Kobe also lost to Wang Dalin in a personal battle. He wanted to "find some ground" in the question, but was silenced by Wang Dalin again. Silently, it's strange that his face looks good. A reporter raised his hand and asked: "Hello, Darling, I am a reporter from Turkey! First of all, congratulations on breaking your personal single-game scoring record in the Finals, and congratulations to the Pistons for their first victory in the Finals tonight." ! I would like to ask, do you think you have a good chance of winning this year¡¯s FMVP?¡± Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Yes, I think I am very hopeful, because even if I only score 10 points in the next three games, my scoring average is more than 26 points per game!" Everyone at the scene laughed. Wang Dalin¡¯s answer was quite clever. First, he indirectly praised himself for scoring a super high score tonight. Second, he also implicitly expressed his determination to sweep the Lakers in four games. ????????? Even Bird, the ¡°King of Forces¡±, couldn¡¯t help but admire him when he heard about this later¡­ He is really a talented person of his generation, Darling-Wang really has the demeanor of the ¡°King of Forces¡± of my generation! The Turkish reporter then asked: "Darling, of course I also hope that you can win this year's FMVP, but if you don't win this award, will you be depressed, or will you continue to be happy?" Wang Dalin was stunned, and everyone was stunned. A second later, the scene burst into laughter. Damn it! What kind of bullshit is this? ¡°Is this reporter¡¯s head full of water because he has done too much in Turkey? "Ahemnext one!" Wang Dalin was really speechless, so he had to use the "next method" Anyway, James would often use this trick in later generations. It seems to be good to use it in advance? When you encounter a question that you really don¡¯t want to answer, you have only two options for answering. The first is ¡°no comment¡± and the second is ¡°next¡±! For example, a male guest on a famous domestic dating show, when the host asked him which female guest he liked more, he glanced at it for a week and said calmly: "Change the batch!" Hmmthat makes sense, just change it if you're not satisfied! It saves those money-worshipping and vain female guests from being picky about the male guests all day long, and lets them taste the feeling of being looked down upon! A Detroit reporter asked: "Darling, we all know that your compatriot Yao Ming has participated in the NBA draft this year. Where do you think he will be ranked?" ???????????????????????????? Well, as expected of a member of my own family, the questions asked are so high-level! Wang Dalin thought for a moment and said: "No. 1 winner!" The reporter asked: "But we all know that Yao Ming is very thin. Do you think he can adapt to the intensity of NBA games?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "You have to know, I have been teammates with him His lower limbs are very strong, and his shooting touch is very soft, and his basic skills are also very solid. He has all the skills needed for a center, and he will definitely be able to play very well."? He made 16 of 21 shots from the field, including 10 of 12 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 45 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. He was still the best player in the "Auburn Hills Palace Arena" this night. That handsome boy! After the Pistons took a 2-0 lead, the outside world was generally not very optimistic about them. After all, the Lakers are the defending champions, and they have won the championship for two consecutive years It is normal to lose two away games. As long as they win two consecutive games at home, they can recover. Can you just come? But the Lakers lost the G3 game again! O¡¯Neal performed very well in this game. He made 14 of 21 shots from the field, plus 9 of 12 free throws. He scored 37 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, showing the strong dominance of the number one center in the league today. But Kobe was completely inaccurate. He only hit 6 goals in 26 shots, including all 8 three-pointers. Including free throws, he only scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Wang Dalin continued to play efficiently. He made 12 of 19 shots from the field, including 3 of 7 three-pointers and 7 of 9 free throws. He scored 34 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Billups and Hamilton also performed well on the offensive end. One of them scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, and the other contributed 19 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. ¡°Big brother¡± also performed well in the paint, scoring 4 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks. Although he was a bit badly beaten by O¡¯Neal, he still completed his task. It can only be said that O'Neal's free throws in this game were indeed a bit accurate. Later, Carlisle did not dare to continue to use the "shark-killing tactic", so he only made 12 free throws in this game. If he "chopping sharks" as hard as other teams did, it is estimated that he might score 20 points just from free throws. After the G3 game, fans across the United States were dumbfounded Are the Lakers about to be swept? It turns out that sweep does not exist! In the G4 game on June 12, the "OK combination" both showed their strength. O'Neal scored 32 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, and Kobe scored 31 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. In addition to them, the Lakers' role players also performed well. Fisher scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Horry scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Fox contributed 11 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. The Pistons played pretty well here, but five Lakers players scored in double figures, and O'Neal and Kobe both scored 30+. The offensive firepower was too strong, and they still regretfully lost 102:109. The G5 game between the two sides will return to Detroit. Until this time, most media in the United States are still more optimistic that the Lakers can win the championship, even if they were once behind 0:3. You know, in the history of the NBA, no team has ever been able to comeback after falling behind 0:3 in the playoffs. They believe that the Lakers are the first in this world (Remember this site's website address: www. hlnovel.com Chapter 190 Farewell, the sadness that cannot be concealed even by winning the championship! ?? On the evening of June 15, the finals G5 game between the Lakers and the Pistons finally started. At the beginning of the game, the Lakers launched a fierce attack in the paint. O'Neal's attack under the basket was unstoppable. No matter how hard Ben tried his best, he could not stop it. Instead, he quickly suffered two fouls and was replaced. Wang Dalin of the Pistons also immediately started the offensive mode. He succeeded in two singles against Fox, and also gave Billups and Hamilton an assist each. Immediately after O'Neal attracted the Pistons' defensive attention in the paint, he began to frequently distribute the ball to the outside. Fisher and Kobe each hit a three-pointer. At this time, Pistons starting point guard Billups stood up. He singled out Fisher twice in a row, hit a pull-up jumper after a breakthrough, forced a layup after a breakthrough and caused Fisher's thug to foul, and then went to the free throw line and made two free throws. The two sides played very fiercely in the first quarter, and until the first quarter was about to end, the situation was still evenly matched. The Lakers took O'Neal off the court to rest, and Kobe led the team to continue their onslaught. The Pistons replaced Hamilton, who performed poorly in the first quarter, and replaced him with Williams. At the end of the first quarter, Wang Dalin and Kobe Bryant competed. The two scored 2 goals each, but Billups stepped up to steal the spotlight again He first hit a sudden shot from outside the three-point line, and then decisively hit the ball. Double-teamed to steal Kobe, and sent an alley-oop assist to Wang Dalin in the counterattack. "Second Brother" is worthy of being the man who can win FMVP in the original time and space. Although he has not really reached his peak yet, he has already let everyone see his huge potential. At the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Dalin and Kobe Bryant continued to score points against each other. The scores of the two teams also increased alternately. No one could widen the point difference. However, due to the advantage established by Billups' sudden burst, the Pistons always led by about 4 points. In desperation, Jackson had to replace O'Neal in advance. It wasn't until the middle of the second quarter that the Lakers finally replaced Kobe, and Carlisle quickly took Wang Dalin off the court to rest He played the entire first quarter and about 6 minutes in the second quarter. He was really a bit tired. . The Lakers took the opportunity to counterattack, and O'Neal once again showed his power in the interior. Carlisle decisively sent Gates to "cut the shark" and asked the players to consume O'Neal's physical strength as much as possible in the interior. The finals reached the G5 game, and the consequences of the Lakers' Western Conference Finals tiebreaker finally showed up. O'Neal was indeed a little weak in the second half of the second quarter. Although he was still as unstoppable as a prehistoric beast, he was powerless when he was fouled. It's 2+1. Not only O'Neal, but Fisher and Horry also obviously had problems. Their outside shooting has always been accurate, but they failed to make a three-pointer in the first half. The situation of the Lakers was worrying, and Jackson had to replace Kobe again. In the most difficult time, only Kobe, who had super physical strength, could continue to maintain his offensive firepower. When Kobe Bryant returned to the game, Carlisle naturally replaced Wang Dalin. In the last three minutes of the second quarter, the two started another round of scoring battle. This time Wang Dalin clearly had the upper hand because he scored two three-pointers, while Kobe scored two-pointers. After the halftime break, O'Neal's physical strength recovered a lot, and his dominance in the interior was restored immediately. In the first half of the third quarter, he led the team to a 12:4 spurt, tying the score in one fell swoop. It was Billups again at the critical moment. He first assisted Hamilton to make a mid-range shot, and then broke into the paint under Wang Dalin's pick-and-roll screen, causing O'Neal to foul, and made two free throws. Kobe Bryant immediately beat Hamilton in tit-for-tat, and also sent a wonderful alley-oop pass to O'Neal. In the second half of the third quarter, Wang Dalin began to take over the game, and his various moves made Fox complain endlessly. Jackson decisively arranged for players to double-team him, but Wang Dalin took the opportunity to send two assists to Hamilton, immediately making the Lakers' double-team ineffective. In the first 4 minutes of the fourth quarter, the head coaches of both teams left their main players off the court to rest. Neither O'Neal nor Kobe Bryant played for the Lakers. Kobe played 33 minutes in the first three quarters and O'Neal played 31 minutes. It was obvious that he was physically exhausted. . Carlisle also forced Wang Dalin and Billups to the bench. Both of them played a lot in the first three quarters. Wang Dalin played 32 minutes and Billups played 30 minutes. In the last 8 minutes of the game, both sides used their main strength, and finally it was time to fight to the death. ? 4 minutes of rest time is certainly enough for Kobe Bryant, a physical monster, but it is far from enough for O'Neal This "behemoth inside" was greatly reduced in efficiency in the final stage of the game. Basically,Si, Hamilton and Ben had an American barbecue in their yard. The four brothers ate delicious barbecue, drank cold beer, and talked about every detail of the past year. At this party, Wang Dalin also made an exception to drink Anyway, it was in his own home. As long as no one snitched on him, who could he be afraid of? Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Billups finally confessed to Ben and Hamilton. Ben was very excited after hearing this and almost ran to find Joe Dumars immediately. Hamilton seemed a little guilty because it was the team that renewed his contract in advance that caused Billups to leave. And he also confessed to his brothers that he will sign a five-year, $27.28 million long-term contract with the Pistons, and will sign as soon as the trading market opens. Billups also told everyone about the conditions offered to him by the Warriors. He will receive a six-year, $60.25 million contract. Both brothers can earn a lot of money, which finally makes the upcoming parting less sad, but maybe it's the effect of alcohol Wang Dalin and the others were still crying. That night they drank until about four o'clock in the morning, and then they went to their own rooms to sleep (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 191 2002 Draft The 2002 draft will be held on June 26 at the Madison Square Garden Arena in New York. Joe Dumas had been preparing for this draft for a long time, and of course he had been struggling for a long time. He could not make up his mind, so he called Wang Dalin and Carlisle to his office. "Joe, we only have one pick at the end of the first round. This pick is not even as good as the top picks in the last round. Why are you so entangled?" Carlisle saw Dumas's panda eyes and said, Couldn't help but tease him. "Rick, you can't be a hands-off shopkeeper. You are the head coach of the team, so come and help me make reference!" Dumas said angrily, "Look, our original target was Tayshaw. Well, Prince, now it seems that our pick is out of reach for him, who should we choose?" Carlisle said without thinking: "Choose a point guardChauncy is about to leave us. Raf can't support the position of point guard by himself. Now I just want a point guard!" Wang Dalin picked up the rookie list and looked at it, and suddenly said: "Except for DaJuan Wagner, there seems to be no decent role for the point guard in this class. It is definitely not a good idea to choose a point guard!" Carlisle smiled and said: "Darling, you are so loudyou actually don't even look down on Jay Williams, the favorite for the No. 1 pick?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "I'm not optimistic about him anyway If you don't believe it, just wait and see, he is not an excellent point guard at all!" Dumas asked: "So in your opinionwho should we choose?" Wang Dalin pointed to a name on the rookie list that was predicted by the media to be in the second round and said: "Let's just pick him, just to strengthen the team's interior offense!" Dumas and Carlisle were a little confused at first glance. Dumas said: "Carlos Boozer the media doesn't think highly of him, and we haven't sent any scouts to pay special attention to him. Are you sure you want to Choose him?" Wang Dalin laughed and said: "When did the media get it right? Last year they said how good Kwame Brown is. He can attack inside and shoot from outside. He has incredible athletic ability, excellent jumping ability, and excellent height and wingspan. He can dribble like a point guard, has good passing ability, and has excellent speed Now think about it, does it look like a joke?" Carlisle smiled: "It's truethe draft report given by the media is indeed a joke!" Dumars looked at Boozer's draft report. ESPN's report reads: "Strong scoring power forward, a two-handed finisher. 18-foot mid-range jumper with a high arc. Able to score in the low post. Vulnerable to injuries. Excellent rebounder but average defense. .Lacks length and defensive passion.¡± NetEase's report reads: "Boozer has made up for his physical deficiencies through hard work. He has solid basic skills, and his main methods are mid-range shots and cuts. His offensive efficiency is very stable, and his shooting percentage can reach more than 50%. " ¡°He won¡¯t force himself to do some exaggerated movements, so he has very few low-post attacks and has no shooting ability from beyond the three-point line.¡± ¡°My rebounding ability is very strong, but his defensive awareness is poor. His lateral footwork cannot keep up with most power forwards. His height and arm length are limited, and his shot-blocking ability is not very good.¡± "My defense is not good, I can't prevent others' breakthroughs, and I commit too many fouls. However, because of his tonnage in the paint, he will not become a defensive black hole. Overall, he is a player who focuses on offense and light defense!" Dumars thought for a moment, raised his head and asked: "Darling, if we choose him, what will happen to the team's defense? We have already lost Chauncey, and the quality of perimeter defense will definitely decline!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "As long as Ben and I are here, the team's internal defense will not have problems. As for the external defensedon't we still have Qiong and Michael? In addition, we can also take a look in the free market, but It shouldn¡¯t be too difficult to find a defender who can defend, right?¡± Dumars frowned and said worriedly: "But if the Pistons don't have strong defense, won't they lose our tradition?" Carlisle laughed out loud: "Joe, you don't think that our championship this year was won by defense, right? I don't want to laugh at the Pistons' defensive tradition, but I must tell you very responsibly, 'Defense wins championships'" 'This sentence, in my opinion, is pure bullshit! As long as the Pistons let me be the head coach, the team's tactical system will always be 'offensive and defensive balance'!" Wang Dalin also nodded and said: "Qiao, Coach Rick is right, Carlos's offensive power is very good, he is exactly what we need!" Dumas nodded and said: "Okay, I am willing to accept your opinion. Of course, our first goal is Taixiao."??It was completely in vain. The day after the draft, Wang Dalin was practicing shooting at his home court. Since he lost the way to directly improve his abilities by points, he would practice by himself for a while every day, even when playing in the finals. You can¡¯t use points to directly add points. Now if you want to improve your ability, you can only rely on training. What will happen if you don¡¯t practice? But the speed of improvement in this kind of training is indeed too slow. For nearly two months from the end of May to now, he only improved by 1 point in back hook shooting and close range shooting, and his other abilities have not improved. Of course, when he played in the finals some time ago, he certainly didn¡¯t practice very systematically. After the finals, the team was naturally disbanded, and he could only practice on the court in his yard every day. Recently, he has been preparing to hire a professional trainer and rent a professional training hall. After the World Championships, he will come back to train hard and strive to slightly improve his abilities. He wanted to end the day's training with a beautiful dunk, but it turned out to be a failure As soon as he jumped up, he felt a sharp pain on the back of his left thigh. After landing, his right foot jumped a few times and almost fell down on the spot. The pain was so severe that Wang Dalin could no longer walk, so he had to call the Pistons team doctor. The team doctor quickly rushed to his home, helped him get into the car, and soon arrived at the hospital. After a series of examinations, the doctor told him seriously: "Unfortunately, Darling King, you have a second-grade hamstring strain on the back of your left thigh. It is conservatively estimated that it will take at least half a month to heal. I have to get it." You are required to receive hospitalization!" "What?" Wang Dalin was shocked I just dunked the ball, and now I have a second-degree hamstring strain? Do you want it to be so bad? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 192 Signed the starting point guard On July 1, the door to the NBA trading market opened, and the entire North American sports world suddenly became lively. It was also on the same day that Wang Dalin's detailed test report came out. The doctor once again diagnosed that he had a second-grade hamstring strain on the back of his left thigh. He needed to be hospitalized for one to two weeks, and he could only return to normal movements after two weeks. , does not mean that he can resume training. Hamstring strains are generally classified into grade one, grade two and grade three strains based on the severity of the injury. Generally speaking, first-degree strains can be recovered in about a month. Strenuous activities should be avoided within a month, and measures such as ice application within 24 hours and heat application after 24 hours can be used to promote recovery. But this is just a case of ordinary people suffering a first-degree hamstring strain. Professional athletes can get more professional medical treatment, and the recovery time can usually be shortened by twice, and even in the best case, it can be recovered in about a week. But a second-level strain is different, because a second-level strain represents a partial tear of the ligament, which is strictly a serious injury! Although the doctor has said that the best estimate of his injury will take at least half a month to heal Please pay attention to the words "best estimate" and "recovery is possible"! Half a month is the ideal estimate, which means it is entirely possibleor it is very likely that this time will be longer. In fact, the recovery period for grade two hamstring strains usually takes four to eight weeks. And "it is possible to recover" is the most critical point of this sentence Even if Wang Dalin can move freely after half a month, this does not mean that he can resume training immediately, let alone play a game. ¡°It¡¯s very simple to recover to the point where you can move freely, but it won¡¯t take ten and a half months to recover to the point where you can train or even play games If you are unlucky, it¡¯s not surprising that it will take two or three months. The competition dates for the 2002 Men's Basketball World Championship have already been finalized, from August 30 to September 9. Wang Dalin was originally scheduled to help Joe Dumars search for a defensive point guard in the free market in early July, and then return to Beijing to report to the national team, but a sudden injury completely ruined his plan. He originally thought that his injury would be healed in a month at most, and then he would recover for a week or two, just in time for the current Men's Basketball World Championships, but the doctor told him that it would be better to give up this idea as soon as possible. Don¡¯t underestimate a seemingly minor injury like hamstring strain. In fact, this kind of injury is very troublesome. Once the recovery is not good, it is likely to affect the athlete¡¯s condition for a long time. In a sense, it is more serious than some injuries. Fractures in secondary locations are even more serious. Wang Dalin was in a very low mood, but there was nothing he could do. It can be seen from the first-degree hamstring strain of his left calf last season that his body does have some glass properties, which is also a common phenomenon among yellow athletes. There is indeed a big gap between yellow people and black people in the fields of explosive power and jumping ability. There may be some talented athletes who can indeed compete with black athletes, but the physiques of most yellow athletes are still relatively fragile. Although Wang Dalin has a "defeat system", the system has not changed his original physique, so he is not more tough and durable than other yellow athletes. In the playoffs last season, he completed a temporary task and received a reward to maintain good condition. Another part of the reward was that "the overall durability remains unchanged at 95." The following games became more and more intense, and Wang Dalin¡¯s intensity of confrontation on the court was naturally getting stronger and stronger. There is an old saying that goes, "It's not that you don't report, but the time has not come yet." His overall durability in the playoffs and finals did always remain at 95, but after he finished the finals, his overall durability dropped immediately. Down, and all the injury risks accumulated in these games have accumulated on him. When the comprehensive durability drops below 80, it means that he may be injured at any time He does not even have to experience confrontation to be injured! Wang Dalin first called coach Wang Fei to tell him about his situation, and then called media people with whom he was close, such as Su Qun and Zhang Weiping. Wang Dalin really feels very sorry that he cannot report to the national team due to injury this time, because if he can play in this World Championship, the Chinese team will have a good chance. This time the Men¡¯s Basketball World Championship was held in Indiana, USA. It stands to reason that American players should have achieved better results if they competed locally. But many NBA superstars are unwilling to represent the United States. This time the "Dream Team" stars are dim, and the biggest star in the team is obviously the aging Reggie Miller! &nStill accurate, and he has a lot of playoff experience. After thinking about it, Dumars decided to sign Jeff McGinnis. After all, he still hopes to find a starting-level point guard for the Pistons. Among these people, he is the only one who can be considered at this level. Wang Dalin originally wanted to help with reference, but he obviously didn't have much use Although he is a senior fan, he is really not familiar with such a low-profile player. Of course, he is familiar with Hardaway among them, has some impressions of McGinnis, and knows Steve Kerr But Wang Dalin really doesn't know Strickland and Oli. Dumars was very efficient. It only took him two days to get McGinnis and sign the Pistons' new starting point guard with a three-year, $9.93 million contract. Including Okur, who has been signed by Dumars before, and Boozer, the rookie just selected this year, the Pistons have a total of 13 people under contract. They are¡ª¡ª Point guards: Jeff McGinnis (No. 10, annual salary of $300), Damon Jones (No. 14, annual salary of $640,000); Shooting guards: Richard Hamilton (No. 32, annual salary of $2.68 million), Michael Curry (No. 12, annual salary of $2.6 million), Joan Barry (No. 20, annual salary of $3.18 million); Small forwards: Wang Dalin (No. 8, annual salary of $11.7 million), Corris Williams (No. 34, annual salary of $4.5 million), Rodney White (No. 5, annual salary of $1.82 million); Power forwards: Clifford Robinson (No. 30, annual salary of US$8.42 million), Carlos Boozer (No. 1, annual salary), Mickey Moore (No. 31, annual salary of US$2.41 million); Center: Ben Wallace (No. 3, $5.2 million), Memit Okur (No. 13, annual salary of $1 million); ? ?Obviously, there is still one person missing at point guard and center. If some players are playing 2k games, 13 people are enough. Anyway, the regulations of the NBA league are that each team's player list must not be less than 13 people, but Dumas will definitely put these two players in during the offseason. The quota is filled. The reality is that there are very few teams that would be unwilling to fill out their 15-man roster, even if there are two or three players on the team who are likely to not get playing time all season. Last season, Rodney White, the No. 9 pick, was obviously the wrong pick. He only played 16 games throughout the season, averaging 8.1 minutes per game, averaging 3.5 points, 1.1 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.1 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 35. %, and the three-point shooting percentage was 22.2%. Dumas is trying his best to get rid of this guy first, but there is no use keeping him anyway (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 193: Gates left, and the bus came By the end of July, Wang Dalin's recovery from his injury was very good and he could already conduct some light training. Of course, it¡¯s just light training, such as shooting or dribbling. If you want to increase the intensity of training, according to the doctor¡¯s estimate, you need to observe it for at least three to four weeks. In fact, Wang Dalin himself is also very aware of his current physical condition. On the surface, his injury is no longer serious, but his overall durability is currently only 77, which shows that the risk of injury is still very high. If he reluctantly plays in a high-intensity game like the World Championships, he might not have played for a few minutes. You have to get hurt again. ¡°Sigh¡­ In fact, until this moment, Wang Dalin still thought about being able to compete in this World Championships, but his physical condition did not allow it. On the morning of August 1, Wang Dalin shot 200 balls in his yard and practiced a few sets of dribbling. After taking a shower and having breakfast, he suddenly received a call from Dumas. "Hey, Darling, do you have time to come to my office?" ¡°Qiao, it¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know that I¡¯ve been recuperating from my injuries during this period, how come I¡¯m not free?¡± ¡°That¡¯s great, come here quickly, I have a person here, I guarantee you will be surprised when you see him!¡± "HmmOkay, I'll be there later!" Wang Dalin finished breakfast and drove to Dumas¡¯ office. "Bus? Why are you here?" I have to say that when Wang Dalin walked into Dumas' office and saw that the person who came was Battel, he was really surprised. Judging from the time, Battelle should be participating in the closed training camp of the Chinese men's basketball team in Beijing now. How could he suddenly come to Detroit? "Haha, why, aren't you happy to see me?" Barter chuckled, and gave Wang Dalin a bear hug, "Dalin, we haven't seen each other for almost a year, don't tell me I still have weird thoughts. your!" "Me too!" Wang Dalin smiled, "I heard that you were going to the Nuggets last season, but you didn't go. It seems you are coming to our team this year, right?" Barter smiled and said: "You kid, you are still so smart!" Dumas smiled and said: "Why are you all standing? Sit down first. It's too stressful for you two big guys to stand like this Darling, let me introduce to you. This is Barter." My manager Song-Xia!¡± There is another person in the office. He is about thirty years old. He is very thick and about 185cm tall. He seems to have played basketball. Wang Dalin rolled his eyes directly What the hell is "Song-Xia"? It's obviously Xia Song, okay? Wang Dalin, a senior fan, will certainly be familiar with Xia Song. In addition to being Battelle¡¯s agent, he is also Wang Zhizhi¡¯s agent. He is one of the early heroes of Chinese players landing in the NBA. "Brother Xia, hello, I am Wang Dalin!" ¡°Hello Dalin, I¡¯m Xia Song!¡± Since they are both compatriots, Wang Dalin and Xia Song greeted each other more casually. Everyone sat on the sofa, Dumas smiled and said: "Darling, the Pistons have reached an intention to cooperate with Battelle. I believe he will be able to bring some help to the team's inside offense and defense!" Wang Dalin nodded and smiled: "Daba, now we are teammates again, I'm so happy!" Battel also smiled and said: "Da Lin, I heard that your boy is now the leader of the Pistons. In the new season, you are not allowed to bully me, a rookie!" "Okay, if I don't bully you, how about I let you carry my bag for me?" Wang Dalin said with a teasing smile. "You brat, well just carry the bag!" Battle said with a smile, "I'll carry the bag for you. When you get on the court, you have to pass a few more good balls to me!" "It's a deal!" Wang Dalin laughed loudly, "When I see Shou and Dayao, you will help me carry my bag and see if they laugh or not!" "Hahaha, just laugh!" Barter said with a smile, "I've heard it a long time ago. That guy probably carried that guy Finley's bag for a whole season. Yao Yao will inevitably have to carry Francis' bag this year. They want to laugh at me? I can¡¯t tell who is laughing at who!¡± ¡­¡­ Why did Battelle come to the Pistons? Mainly because Dumars failed to get Gates, who seemed to have a real connection with China's Shaanxi Men's Basketball Team. They got in touch during the offseason. The money offered by Shaanxi was higher than the Pistons' base salary, and it was another one. Of course, Gates is not willing to stay in Detroit after signing a long-term contract. Gates was not signed, and the Pistons only had Okur as a center on the bench. Dumars was obviously a little unsure, so he searched in many ways, hoping to find a center.?It's a limited edition "Tissot" men's watch and a "Tiffany" diamond necklace The most important thing for Chinese people is reciprocity! At the banquet, Barter took Wang Dalin and had a drink Well, I don¡¯t know if Barter drank it to the fullest, but Wang Dalin drank it to the hilt! "When it comes to drinking, the entire Chinese men's basketball team together can probably drink more than one person on the bus." This sentence was originally said by Chairman Yao, and it was definitely not nonsense! There were children at home to take care of, so Deming only stayed in Detroit for about a week before returning to China. During this period, Wang Dalin introduced a housekeeping company to Barter and helped him hire an hourly worker who could cook, wash clothes and clean. Wang Dalin himself also hired such hourly workers. This was not because he was lazy. He mainly wanted to spend more time on training. I believe Barter thought the same way. "It's not easy to come to the NBA, no one can just come here to earn a two-year basic salary!" Originally, Battelle would sign with the Spurs this season and was selected for the Spurs' playoff roster. He even became the first Chinese player to win an NBA championship ring. The first player to win a championship ring in this life must be Wang Dalin, and he is very confident about the upcoming 2002-2003 season. Bus Follow my Wang Dalin, do you believe it with the ring? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 194 Just a stepping stone in the opening match? On September 20, all members of the Pistons gathered to start training. Previously, Boozer and Okur performed very well in the summer league in July. One averaged 20+10 per game, and the other averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game. ball. Although Okur is tall and thick, he is not exactly a meat shield center. He is a rare long-range anti-aircraft turret in this era that can fire from beyond the three-point line! Not to mention Boozer In the original time and space, there were only 7 rookies in his generation who could average more than 10 points per game in their first season. He was one of them, and his average playing time per game was this The smallest among 7 people. ??????? If we only focus on the immediate combat ability in his rookie season, Boozer is indeed much better than Prince, but it is a pity that this guy's character is not that good, otherwise he would not have received the nickname "Rebellious Boy". Fortunately, his "rebellion" will only happen a few years later, so there is no chance for him to perform this scene now. After the players practiced together for several days, Carlisle specifically discussed it with Big Ben, Wang Dalin and Hamilton. He decided to let the three of them play only one quarter in each game in the preseason, so as to allow the new players to play as many minutes as possible. beat. ??Especially the starting point guard McGinnis, the first center substitute Okur, and the first power forward substitute Boozer. These three people are very capable and must run in with the team more. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and Ben definitely needs more rest If he didn't have to try his best to get in touch with the new players, Carlisle even wanted him to stop playing in the preseason. So the defending champion played very average in the preseason, winning and losing half of the 6 games. On October 29, the 2002-2003 NBA regular season officially kicked off. There were only three games on the first day of the opening game, namely the Spurs vs. the Lakers, the 76ers vs. the Magic, and the Cavaliers vs. the Kings. Five of these six teams were strong playoff teams last season, especially the Lakers, who were the "overall runner-up", so fans' attention is still very high. Since O'Neal was absent due to injury, the Lakers could only rely on Kobe to lead the team. He struggled in this game, only hitting 9 goals in 29 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers. . Kobe Bryant¡¯s shooting touch is extremely strong, and he only made 8 of 12 shots from the free throw line. His shooting percentage of 66.7% was obviously much lower than his usual level. The performance of the rest of the Lakers was also very impressive. Apart from Kobe, only Stanislav Medvedenko and Devin George scored in double figures. If it weren¡¯t for the Lakers¡¯ playoff-level defensive intensity, they would have been defeated by the Spurs, but defense alone was not enough. In the end, they unfortunately lost 82:87. Tim Duncan's touch for the Spurs is also amazing, and he only made 3 of 14 shots In the minds of many fans, the "Stone Buddha" seems to have never been so tough, right? But he is not the strongest yet. "French sports car" Tony Parker made 0 of 10 shots in the game and only scored 2 points from free throws. Looking at Ginobili again, the "Pampas Eagle" came on as a substitute for 20 minutes and scored 7 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 1 block on 3 of 9 shots. His NBA debut was really good. The Kings defeated the Cavaliers without any blood. The strength gap between the two sides is indeed too big. Jay Williams, the new top pick of the Cavaliers, played 33 minutes and scored 13 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal on 6 of 9 shots. His performance was worthy of his reputation as the top pick Unfortunately, his teammates were too stretched, and the Kings were too strong. Got it! However, the No. 1 pick still has flaws. He made five free throws in the game but didn't make a single one His biggest weakness has been exposed in just one game. In the original time and space, Jay Williams's free throws were indeed inaccurate. His career free throw shooting rate was only 64%, which is really not like the free throw shooting rate of an outside player. The game between the 76ers and the Magic was very intense. Especially small forward Keith Van Horn, who just joined the 76ers in the offseason. He made 6 of 15 shots and 7 of 11 free throws, scoring 19 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. In addition, Aaron McGee also had outstanding contributions of 19 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals. However, team leader Allen Iverson obviously felt cold. He only hit 7 goals in 25 shots and missed all 3 shots from beyond the three-point line. Including free throws, he only scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. McGrady, the boss of the Magic, performed much better. He made 13 of 24 shots from the field, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 31 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 blocks. The Magic also have a former superstar, Grant Hill. He performed very well in this game. He made 5 of 10 shots and 8 of 9 free throws. He efficiently scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. He finally found some points. The demeanor of "Jordan's successor" back then. If it weren¡¯t for that damn injury, the devil would??My mid-range shot was very good tonight! On the Knicks side, Alan Houston finally felt cool after experiencing a hot start. However, the Pistons' offensive momentum has already picked up. With Hamilton hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer, the first quarter ended and the Pistons led by 16 points at 37:21. Wang Dalin never made a shot after scoring 8 points in the opening game. He just frequently set up pick-and-rolls for McGinnis. Even if he received the ball, he would immediately pass it to a teammate in a better position. He sent out 5 assists in this quarter. At the beginning of the second quarter, Ben stepped on the foot of Knicks substitute center Tyrese Knight while fighting for a rebound. He sprained his ankle and fell to the ground. Although Ben didn¡¯t get up for a long time, an ankle sprain of this degree shouldn¡¯t be a big deal. It was obvious that Ben was just acting. But it was obvious that Knight stepped on purpose just now. Wang Dalin was so angry that he rushed forward and pushed Knight over. He pushed Knight back several steps. Players on the field gathered around, and the referee hurriedly blew his whistle and rushed over Perhaps feeling that he was in the wrong, Knight quietly hid behind his teammates and did not have a head-on conflict with Wang Dalin. "You dirty guy, you will definitely get the retribution you deserve!" As the referee quickly separated the players on both sides, Wang Dalin had no choice but to say a harsh word to Knight. The referee did not give Knight an additional foul. Instead, Wang Dalin just pushed Knight and gave him a t. With the help of the team doctor, Ben stood up, put his right hand on the team doctor's shoulder and limped back to the locker room Although on the surface it seemed that the sprain was not serious, it still needed to be checked carefully. Wang Dalin's face was as cold as ice "You despicable guys, you stepped down in the opening game, so don't blame me for being rude!" (Remember this website: www.hlnovel.com An overview of Wang Dalin¡¯s latest ability values ??and career data 1.

His weight of 112kg is due to a slight gain in weight due to insufficient recuperation exercise during the offseason. It will gradually decrease to below 110kg as the season progresses. Detailed explanation of comprehensive durability: This data is related to the athlete's ability to resist injuries. Above 95 is "no possibility of injury", 90-94 is "almost no risk of injury", 85-89 is "there is slight risk of injury". A score below 80-84 is considered to be ¡°a serious risk of injury or illness¡±, and a score below 80 is considered to be ¡°a sign of major injury or illness risk and may be injured at any time¡±. 2. Wang Dalin¡¯s statistics in each season so far: 2000-2001 regular season: A total of 1099 points, 558 rebounds, 435 assists, 65 blocks, and 50 steals. Averaged 13.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.8 blocks, 0.6 steals, 1.5 turnovers per game, shooting 47.8% from the field, 36.1% from three-point range, and 80.2% from free throws. 2001-2002 regular season: A total of 2,133 points, 648 rebounds, 458 assists, 92 blocks, and 68 steals.

(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 195 You can never reach the finals, I said so! After a brief interruption, the game continued. Since the referee did not call Knight a foul, the ball still belonged to the Knicks, and they got the opportunity to serve the ball from the frontcourt. The tall Knight stood outside the sideline to serve. The other four Knicks players actively moved and covered each other. Alan Houston bypassed the screen and finally received the ball. "Snapped!" Houston couldn't help but be shocked As soon as he received the ball, Wang Dalin slapped the ball. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the ball would have been lost. "What a fast move!" Houston was still frightened. After regaining control of the ball, he did not dribble in a hurry. He observed the situation and passed the ball to Charlie Ward on the other side. There was a "pop" soundit was Wang Dalin's long arm stretched out like lightning again! The ball was intercepted by Wang Dalin as soon as it was released. Then Wang Dalin dribbled the ball and launched a fast break. Houston and Ward were unable to catch up. Wang Dalin rushed into the basket and made a one-handed dunk. "Clang!" After landing, Wang Dalin turned around and ran back to his own half without even looking at the Knicks players. No one saw the expression on Wang Dalin¡¯s face when he ran back to his own half, but the on-site cameras recorded this scene What a cold and terrifying expression it was! After seeing this scene, the "tnt non-famous cross talk group" couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs. "CharlesI thinklet's cancel our bet today, okay?" Smith said with a horrified look, "How about I lose? It's absolutely normal for the Knicks to lose by more than 30 points tonight!" Buckley also said uncharacteristically: "Well the bet tonight has really lost its suspense. Even if I win, there is nothing to be happy about!" Less than three minutes into the second quarter, even though the Knicks were 18 points behind, but there were still more than 30 minutes left in the game, TNT's two commentators had already announced in advance that the game was no longer suspense and There is no suspense that the Knicks will lose by more than 30 points. This is a bit mysterious! Maybe this is the sixth sense that Smith and Barkley have developed through years of playing in the professional arena. When danger comes, they can sometimes foresee it in advance just like tonight! Their hunch was very correct. As expected, Wang Dalin began to play a lot of singles with the ball. His breakthroughs, emergency jump shots and various pull-ups were so incomprehensible that no matter how hard Anderson tried his best on the defensive end, it was of no avail. Head coach Don Cheney called two timeouts in the second quarter. First, he replaced Clarence Witherspoon, who was stronger, to defend Wang Dalin. However, the effect was still not good because Wang Dalin was superior only to his height. It allows him to easily complete pull-up jumpers in front of Witherspoon. After the second timeout, Don Cheney finally asked the players to double-team Wang Dalin Even outside the three-point line, as long as Wang Dalin catches the ball, he will still be double-teamed! This move did limit Wang Dalin¡¯s personal offense, but Wang Dalin¡¯s passing skills were put to good use again. In the second half of the second quarter, he sent out 3 assists. Two of these three assists went to Boozer who came on the bench With Wang Dalin attracting the opponent's defensive attention, Boozer would be wide open when he received the ball in the mid-range. If he couldn't make the shot, he would You are not qualified to be a "rebellious boy" in a few years! At the end of the first half, the Pistons led 70:49 by 21 points If the Knicks hadn't been struggling with Alan Houston's offensive support, the entire second half of this game might have been garbage time. "Brother, how are your feet?" During the halftime break, Wang Dalin just returned to the locker room and didn¡¯t see Ben, so he quickly called Ben. "I'm fine, you don't have to worry!" Daben said in a very relaxed tone on the phone. "I've already taken an X-ray. The doctor said there is no structural damage. I don't feel much pain anymore. It should be just a slight sprain!" ¡°That¡¯s good, you can rest peacefully first, I have to beat the shit out of the Knicks tonight!¡± Wang Dalin was still angry as he spoke. Da Ben laughed loudly and said: "Hey, fourth brother, I am watching the live broadcast here. You defeated them by 21 points in the first half. Enough is enough. There is no need to fight to the death, right?" Wang Dalin said coldly: "No, I have to let the Knicks know in this game that they shouldn't do such despicable things. If they do they must pay the price!" Da Ben smiled and said: "Well, I will watch your performance on TV Just win by 30 points, don't make it too bloody, there is no need!" Wang Dalin did not answer directly, but simply said: "Well, I know what to do!" &" The beautiful reporter was obviously shocked by Wang Dalin's words. After thinking for a moment, she asked: "Darling, do you know what you are talking about? Do you know what impact your words will have?" Wang Dalin sneered: "I clearly saw the scene where Tyrese stepped on my eldest brother's feet, so of course I know what I'm talking about, but I don't care what impact these words will have! Because I believe , No matter what the purpose is, a player should play well on the court and not engage in these evil ways!" Wang Dalin became more and more angry as he spoke. Huoran stood up and said angrily: "I declare that from today on, the Knicks are my enemy! No matter when it is, or which team I am in in the future, as long as I am still in the East, I guarantee that the Knicks will be my enemy." The team will never reach the finalsthat's what I said!" "Also, we still have three games to play against the Knicks this season!" Wang Dalin continued, "I guarantee they won't win a game!" After finishing speaking, Wang Dalin sat back on his chair and said into the microphone: "Next" Fans did not expect that the process of this game was quite tragic. After all, the Knicks were slaughtered by 58 points. But compared with what happened in the post-match press conference, the game itself seemed unimportant. Because of Wang Dalin¡¯s strong declaration, the Pistons and the Knicks are bound to have become mortal enemies. When they meet on the court in the future, the two sides will surely stage a fierce confrontation like Mars hitting the earth. Wang Dalin will definitely take responsibility for what he said, and the Knicks general will definitely go all out to make Wang Dalin severely slapped in the face. ¡­¡­ On November 1st, the Pistons will continue to face the Memphis Grizzlies at home (in fact, the Grizzlies' home court moved from Vancouver to Memphis last season, so a special note must be made here). Ben will be absent from this game, and it is estimated that there will be three or four more games. Geniuses may come back. The defending champion's performance in the opening game was really brutal, and Wang Dalin scored a 40+ triple-double in three quarters, which was even more brutal. The Grizzlies coach and general were very low-key at the pre-game press conference. , they said that there is indeed a gap in strength between the two sides, and they can only do their best in this game. Grizzlies boss Pau Gasol made 8 of 12 shots in this game, plus 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 21 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks. His performance was not bad. Drew Gooden, the No. 5 pick selected by the team this year, performed very well. He made 9 of 15 shots from the field and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. If you only look at his rookie season performance, Gooden is definitely ranked among the top five rookies in this class, but his subsequent progress has been very small, and that's basically it. The Grizzlies played their level normally, but the Pistons also played normally so the final score was also normal, 86:109. The Pistons defeated the Grizzlies without a fight. Wang Dalin only played three quarters again, making 8 of 15 shots from the field, including 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 25 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. Hamilton also scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, which was a pretty good performance. McGinnis also contributed 14 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, Robinson had 11 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Barry had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and Williams had 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Six members of the Pistons scored in double figures. Winning this game is absolutely normal. They started the season with two consecutive wins. This made Wang Dalin and his teammates very happy, but who would have thought that this was just their winning streak? What about the beginning? ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 196: 17 consecutive wins at the beginning, too exaggerated? After defeating the Grizzlies and winning two consecutive games, the Pistons are about to embark on a five-game road trip in the Western Conference, including two back-to-back games. The Western Conference teams are not easy to play to begin with, and with two consecutive back-to-back games, even Carlisle feels a headache with such a schedule. On November 3, they will face the Clippers led by Brand, and on November 4, they will face the Suns led by Marbury and Marion. Carlisle does not want Ben to play in these two games. He wants him to rest for two more days. Injuries like sprained feet can be big or small. If the injury recurs, it will not be possible to recover within a week or two. But Ben was very insistent and must go with the team, even if he came on as a substitute. As the team¡¯s oldest player and the current captain of the Pistons, Ben doesn¡¯t want to just be a spectator at home while his teammates are fighting on the court. There is nothing abnormal about Big Ben¡¯s ankle, and he behaved normally during the team¡¯s joint training on November 2, so after much hesitation, Carlisle decided to let him go to Los Angeles with the team. As for whether to let him play we will decide at that time. Bar! On the morning of November 3, when the Pistons flew to Los Angeles, the league announced the two Players of the Week for the first week of the season. They were Kobe Bryant from the West and Wang Dalin from the East. During this period, the Lakers have played three games, namely against the Spurs at home on October 29th, an away game against the Trail Blazers on October 30th, and an away game against the Clippers on November 1st. Lost to the Trail Blazers in back-to-back games, winning the other two. With O'Neal absent due to injury, Kobe led the team to a very good record on his own, and his personal performance was also remarkable. In these three games, he averaged 28.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 2.7 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, shooting 46.2% from the field, 45.5% from the three-point range, and 83.3% from the free throw line. There is one thing to say, during this period, if there is any player in the league who performed better than Kobe, it is probably only Wang Dalin. The Pistons have only played two games, but they easily defeated their opponents in both games. Wang Dalin averaged only 30.5 minutes per game, scoring 33 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 1.5 steals and 2 blocks. His shooting percentage was as high as 64.7% and his three-point shooting percentage was 64.3% which means that his free throw percentage was slightly worse, but it was also 81.3. %. Although the new season has just begun and the Pistons have only played two games, this amount of data is certainly not enough to be used as a basis for measuring a player, but Wang Dalin's performance is still so impressive that no one can deny his power. . Now think about the sentence after the game against the Knicks, "As long as I am still in the East, I guarantee that the Knicks will never reach the Finals, that's what I said." It doesn't seem so abrupt Now Wang Dalin seems to have the confidence to say this! On the evening of November 3, the game between the Pistons and the Clippers started as scheduled. As expected, Carlisle put Ben on the bench and did not let him start. The Pistons¡¯ starting center is rookie Okur, and his opponent is Michael Olowokandi, who is known as the ¡°parallel import number one pick¡±. Olowokandi studied at Brunel University in the United Kingdom in his early years, and later transferred to the University of the Pacific in the United States. He only came into contact with basketball when he was 17 years old, but he performed very well in the American College Basketball League, so he was scouted by various scouts. Everyone generally believed that he was a talented center with talent comparable to "Big Dream". In fact, if Olowokandi had not entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick, he would not have encountered so much criticism. Many people even think that he is one of the most unreal No. 1 picks. If Kwame Brown hadn¡¯t emerged out of nowhere in 2001, Olowokandi would probably have continued to be ridiculed by the media. Sure enough, to save a "parallel import number one", all it takes is the appearance of another more watery "parallel import number one"! In later generations, it was precisely because of the appearance of Anthony Bennett that everyone suddenly discovered It turns out that Kwame Brown was not that good after all? Olowokandi averaged 28.4 minutes per game in his rookie season, scoring 8.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. If it weren't for his status as the top pick in the draft, this performance would actually be very good. And he has made slight progress every year. By last season, he averaged 11.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.8 blocks per game. In this era when excellent centers are scarce, even if his performance cannot be called excellent, at least it cannot be considered a stretch, right? And he has a standard center height of 213cm, a weight of 122kg, and a good wingspan. His physical talent is not bad. Although Okur is already a mature player who led his team to win the Turkish League championship, he is still just a rookie in the NBA It is worth mentioning that last night, Bradley, the "big bamboo pole", didn't know if he was high on drugs, but he actually blocked the opponent 8 times, which shocked the entire league. Speaking of which, Bradley, the No. 1 pick in 1993, is also known as the "parallel import No. 1 pick", and can even be said to be the league's first "parallel import No. 1 pick" in the past 20 years. Bradley has played in the league for 9 seasons since 1993. In his peak season of 1996-1997, he averaged 13.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game. He is considered a pretty good blue-collar center. However, the Pistons are the team that can best restrain Bradley, because they have Okur and Boozer. As long as they take shots from mid-to-long distance, Bradley will be unable to guard him. In this game, the two sides did not compete defensively, but launched a fierce attack from the beginning. The Pistons' unlimited defense didn't have much effect against the "troika" of Nowitzki, Nash and Finley, and the Mavericks were useless on the defensive end Old Nelson's team really didn't defend! In the end, the Pistons defeated the Mavericks 121:114, winning the battle without any danger. Six players from the Mavericks scored in double figures, namely Finley with 25 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, Nash with 17 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals, Bradley with 14 points and 4 rebounds, and Nowitzki with 11 He scored 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Nahura had 16 points and 6 rebounds and Laga Bell had 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals. ? 5 players from the Pistons scored in double figures. Among them, Wang Dalin¡¯s 41 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals were particularly eye-catching On this night, he can be said to have completely defeated Nowitzki. Last season, there were two personal duels between Wang Dalin and Nowitzki. Wang Dalin had the last laugh every time, but this was the first time that he finally defeated Nowitzki. On the morning of November 10, the league announced the winners of the Eastern and Western Player of the Week for the second week, namely Nowitzki from the Western Conference and Wang Dalin from the Eastern Conference. Although the Mavericks lost to the Pistons, they won 3 of 4 games last week. Nowitzki averaged 21.8 points, 11 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1 steal, and 1.5 blocks per game. He is indeed the best record and personal data of the entire Western Conference team. Bright person. Not to mention Wang Dalin! The Pistons won all 5 games last week, and Wang Dalin averaged 30.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.8 blocks per game, shooting 59.3% from the field, 42.9% from the three-point range, and 75% from the free throw line I just want to ask. Ask who else? After beating the Mavericks, the Pistons finally ended their "difficult" Western away trip and returned to Detroit. The Pistons' next three games are all at home. Their opponents are the Hornets, who just moved their home court to New Orleans, the Jazz, who just won by a big score last week, and the Nuggets, who also won by a big score last week. . Returning to the home court, with the fans cheering and getting enough rest, the Pistons won these three games without any suspense. They all won by big scores, especially the score against the Nuggets, which was 53:111 Another "58 tragedy"! This week, Wang Dalin finally failed to win the title of Best of the Week. Since the game was always lost early, his playing time was less than 30 minutes. How could he get extremely impressive data? After playing the Nuggets game on November 16, the Pistons have won 10 consecutive games since the start of the season. Currently, they are the only ones in the league who can remain undefeated. And the next week passed, they increased their winning streak to 14 consecutive wins not far from the 16 consecutive wins last season! On November 27, they met the Mavericks again. This was probably the most difficult game the Pistons had experienced since the beginning of this season. But in the end they won 109:102, and their winning streak has not stopped. On November 29th and 30th, the Pistons played against the Bucks at home and away respectively. The results of the two games were no different, the Pistons won both. This time the entire North American sports world was shockedThe Pistons actually won 17 consecutive games. Is this too exaggerated? But how do they know that something even more exaggerated is yet to come! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 197 The last solo dance The Player of the Month for the first month of the 2002-2003 season has finally been selected In fact, the selection this time is not easy, especially the Western Conference Player of the Month. Judging from the team record, the Kings have 15 wins and 3 losses, while the Mavericks have 13 wins and 3 losses. In both cases, the Kings have won 2 more games and have a slight advantage. Let¡¯s look at personal data: Nowitzki averaged 21.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks per game this month, shooting 45.3% from the field, 35.5% from three-point range, and 84% from free throws. Statistically speaking, it is indeed very good. Chris Webber averaged 21.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.5 blocks per game this month. He shot 48.2% from the field and did not shoot three-pointers. Overall, he is definitely not worse than Nowitzki, but his free throw percentage is only 43.4. % is a bit stretched Well, Webber is probably possessed by O'Neal this month, right? In the end, Chris Webber won the Western Conference Player of the Month award. This was also the second time in his career that he won the Player of the Month award. There is no suspense here in the East. The Pistons' record can be called the "Undefeated in the East." Who else can compare with their 17-game winning streak? Even if McGrady averages 31.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocks per game this month, shooting 48.5% from the field and 38.4% from three-point range, he will regret missing out on the Player of the Month award. Although Wang Dalin won this award mainly based on the team's record, his personal data is not bad, at least it is passable. Averaging 31.2 minutes per game, he scored 27.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.6 blocks, shooting 56.8% from the field, 46.5% from the three-point range, and 79.6% from the free throw line. Some people will sayWhy are Wang Dalin's personal data lower than last season? Moreover, even the three-point shooting percentage and free throw shooting percentage have dropped slightly. What's going on? Too little playing time did affect Wang Dalin's data output, but his super high efficiency made up for it all. As for the three-point and free throw shooting percentages Such a slight decline is just a normal fluctuation in hand feel. Wang Dalin tops the list of the latest mvp list announced by espn. He has a huge advantage over Tracy McGrady, Webber, Duncan, Garnett and others. And in the first phase of this year¡¯s All-Star voting results announced by the league, Wang Dalin also led the league with 972,093 votes It seems that this year¡¯s total All-Star voting king can¡¯t escape again! This time, neither the media nor the players or head coaches of each team expressed any objections. They can be said to be sincerely convinced by the performance of Wang Dalin and the Pistons. No matter in any era, 17 consecutive victories is a very dazzling record. As the leader of the team who led the team to 17 consecutive victories, Wang Dalin is qualified to win any honor. The November game has ended. The Pistons finally got three days of rest, but Wang Dalin couldn't be idle. He had to shoot his third commercial for his sneakers. Because of Wang Dalin's extremely cold and bloodthirsty offensive performance in the opening game of this season, fans generally believed that the nickname "Vulcan" obviously did not match him, so they organized spontaneously and gave him a brand new nickname¡ª¡ª "grim Reaper"! After Wang Dalin heard the news, he was more surprised and speechless You guys gave me the nickname "Reaper". What will Durant be called when he enters the league a few years later? The whole plot of this advertisement is a bit depressing: During the game, the opponent committed malicious fouls again and again. Wang Dalin's teammates fell one after another, and various expressions such as fear, confusion, and anger appeared on his face, until a cold voice-over sounded - "Unleash your abilities." Well, anything is possible!" So Wang Dalin put on the "Reaper Generation" basketball shoes and began to score various difficult goals on the court, eventually leading the team to turn defeat into victory. At the end of the commercial, Wang Dalin suddenly looked towards the stands and saw a man in a black cloak holding a sickle staring at him from the farthest stand. Their eyes met, and the man under the cloak finally revealed his face It turned out to be Wang Dalin himself! I have to say that the creativity of this advertisement is very good, but it was not so easy for Wang Dalin to shoot because there are many close-ups in the plot, which tests the actor's ability to control facial expressions. Wang Dalin is famous for his "acting value is almost zero". It is more difficult for him to show such rich facial expressions in the camera than for him to hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer in the face of double teams on the court. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????It was originally planned to be shot in half a day, but ended up being shot in two full days One can only imagine how tortured the director was by him this time! Fortunately, this filming was completed, and Wang Dalin was finallyHe immediately threw the ball towards the middle. With a "bang" sound, Wang Dalin received a pass from Hamilton and made a one-handed windmill dunk, which instantly ignited the passion of more than 22,000 home fans at the "Palace Arena of Auburn Hills". The Wizards failed to score in two consecutive attacks in the opening game. Head coach Doug Collins couldn't help but frowned. He couldn't help but stand up and shouted loudly on the sidelines: "Michael, pass the ball more!" " Jordan just nodded slightly, but he didn't listen to these words If he didn't have an extremely stubborn character, I'm afraid he wouldn't have achieved such a brilliant achievement, right? In the Wizards' third offense, Jordan did not gamble on touch from beyond the three-point line, but started dribbling to try to break through Wang Dalin from the front. Since 1996, Jordan began to use a lot of behind-the-back jumpers. People tend to ignore his face-to-frame offensive skills because of this You must know that before Jordan retired for the first time, his main way of scoring was face-to-face offense. ! Unlike Kobe's straightforward quick breakthrough, "Old Jordan's" breakthrough mainly relies on changes in rhythm. This kind of fast and slow dribbling rhythm often makes it difficult to defend, and you will be missed if you are not careful. . In fact, Kobe also began to use this breakthrough method extensively after 2007. Firstly, his speed is no longer as fast as when he was young, and secondly, this method saves energy. Wang Dalin had already dealt with it very carefully, but he was still distracted by Jordan's change of rhythm and was passed by Jordan. After entering the basket, Jordan made a fake move to shake the base, and then lightly picked the basket with his left hand and scored Even if the "God of Basketball" is too old to jump, he can still rely on his almost demonic skills to do so. Score! "You brat, this ball is for you!" Of course Jordan had to sneer after scoring a goal Compared to the level of trash talk, except for Larry Bird, there is probably no one in the entire league who can compare with him. . Just after the goal was scored, a "ding" sound suddenly sounded in Wang Dalin's mind After many days, the system finally refused to be lonely and issued another temporary task! "The system has detected that the host and the 'God of Basketball' Michael Jordan are having a fierce personal duel, so the temporary mission 'The Last Solo Dance' has been issued!" "The last solo dance: 1. The host must score more than Jordan personally in this game; 2. The host must lead the team to defeat Jordan's team;" "Reward for completing the mission: The host attacks 100% of the time at any specified time in the next game!" "Punishment for unfinished tasks: The host will miss 100% of its attacks 10 times at a randomly designated time in the next game!" "Considering that Jordan's current state is worrying, he will return to his peak form in the 1992-1993 season in this game. Please be extra careful!" Wang Dalin just smiled after seeing it A few months ago, I even beat Kobe Bryant who scored 81 points in a single game. What should I fear from Jordan at his peak? ¡°One word¡­just do it!¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 198 God of Death VS God of Basketball There is a saying. Although Wang Dalin felt that the task was difficult when he just finished reading the temporary task introduction, he was still very confident in himself After all, he had just competed with the 81-point peak player in a single game in the G1 game of the finals a few months ago. The "Black Mamba" had a battle that night, and he won that battle. Based on his understanding of Jordan, no matter how good Jordan was at his peak, he would still be a little worse than Kobe Bryant who scored 81 points in a single game that night, right? It¡¯s not surprising that he would think so. After all, Jordan¡¯s highest score in a single game in his entire career is ¡°only¡± 69 points, which is still much lower than 81 points! But he was wrong, and he was so wrongbecause he didn't realize how great Jordan was before he retired for the first time in 1993! Many people believe that Jordan¡¯s peak was during his second three consecutive championships, from 1995 to 1998, including self-proclaimed ¡°senior fans¡± like Wang Dalin. It is true that Jordan was indeed very powerful during his second three consecutive championships. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was "invincible in the world during the same period." But Jordan was born in February 1963, not long after he turned 30 in 1993. At that time, Jordan's physical functions were still at their peak. In 1995, he was already over 32 years old, so he was obviously a bit old! Although Jordan's physical talent is the highest level in history, Jordan's physical fitness has declined year by year since 1995 This is also an undisputed fact! If Jordan truly polished his skills to perfection during the second three-peat period, then the first three-peat period was when his body and skills were most perfectly combined! To give the simplest example - why did Jordan frequently use the technique of behind-the-back fadeaway jumpers during his second three consecutive championships? Isn't it just because his physical fitness has declined that he can only use this trick to maintain his offensive stability? If we really wanted to postpone it until 1993, why would we bother to do so? Wouldn¡¯t it be nice to just rush in and get a dunk? If you really think this statement is wrong, just look at the comparison of his data during his two consecutive championships! From the 1990-1991 season to the 1992-1993 season, Jordan's total score was 7,525 points, while from the 1995-1996 season to the 1997-1998 season, his total score was 7,279 points You must know that he played 6 fewer games in the previous period. ! From the 1990-1991 season to the 1992-1993 season, Jordan had a total of 626 steals, while from the 1995-1996 season to the 1997-1998 season, his total steals were 461 timesSimilarly, he played 6 fewer games, but the total number of steals was still higher. 165 more times! From the 1990-1991 season to the 1992-1993 season, Jordan's shooting percentage was 51.7%, while from the 1995-1996 season to the 1997-1998 season, his shooting percentage was 48.2%! It can be clearly seen from these data When was Jordan's true peak? So Wang Dalin is in trouble, and it¡¯s unprecedented trouble! Kobe was really impressive when he scored 81 points, but his physical fitness was still slightly inferior to that of Jordan at the age of 30. Wang Dalin, who was guarding Jordan in this game, personally experienced Jordan's explosive physical talent Is this just an unreasonable and violent confrontation? Wang Dalin originally thought that he could prevent the opponent's breakthrough by delaying his defensive position, but as long as Jordan entered the three-point line, he was already within his own shooting range. He did not need to break into the basket at all, he just took a mid-range shot from the free throw line. The hit rate is also frighteningly high. And when Wang Dalin adjusted his strategy in time and started to defend Jordan closely within the three-point line, he was able to use his incredible starting speed to get rid of it instantly, giving himself an opportunity to take an easy shot. If it weren¡¯t for his teammates to help defend from time to time, Wang Dalin would have been beaten by Jordan It is true that Jordan has never scored 81 points in a single game, but it does not mean that he can't do it! The NBA has always made heroes because of the times. Kobe Bryant's 81 points in a single game had too many accidents. If the Lakers hadn't been lagging behind, would Kobe have been able to stay on the court and score points? ???????? If Kobe¡¯s condition in that game was slightly worse, would he have the ability to score 81 points? If the Raptors were not strong enough at the time, the Lakers would most likely have opened the point difference to more than 20 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Can Kobe still stay on the court to score points? If the Raptors surrender when they are 20 points behind in the middle of the fourth quarter, will Kobe still have the nerve to stay on the court and score points? Therefore, 81 points in a single game meets all conditions. It does not mean that anyone can do it if they want to. In other words if the Lakers replaced peak Kobe Bryant with peak Jordan in that game, wouldn't he definitely not be able to do it? Are you there? Not necessarily? Jordan showed off his fame in front of Wang Dalin.It was rare that the team did not double-team, and Wang Dalin defended Jordan alone. The ball just now proved that Jordan was in extremely good condition tonight. Carlisle knew that even double-teaming him would not be of much use. He might as well defend others and let Jordan play alone. Of course, letting Jordan play alone does not mean giving up defending him. If that were the case, Jordan might really kill the Pistons by himself. Therefore, Wang Dalin's defense is crucial. From this moment on, he must use all possible means. As long as it can reduce Jordan's shooting percentage by a few points, except for despicable means of directly harming the player's body, other moves must be used. Gotta use it! Pulling the jersey, sealing eyes, clamping arms, concealing elbows, crossing legsWang Dalin used almost all the defensive tricks he learned from Bruce Bowen on Jordan. ???????????? But looking at Jordan, it seems like he's enjoying it? At this moment, Jordan seemed to have returned to the late 1980s. He did not expect that Wang Dalin, a 20-year-old boy, could play such an authentic "old-school basketball", just like the "Bad Boys" gang back then Well, the defensive methods are quite similar, but not as dirty! On the offensive end, Wang Dalin also allowed Jordan to truly see what "future basketball" is. Facing his unsolvable jump shots one after another, Jordan also felt powerless. Both of them played a so-called unsolvable offense, but Wang Dalin is tall and has long arms after all, and his interference with Jordan on the defensive end was slightly greater, so Wang Dalin obviously had the upper hand in the second quarter. After halftime, the Pistons led the Wizards by 4 points 56:52. Wang Dalin made 9 of 15 shots, including 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 27 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Jordan made 12 of 20 shots, including 0 of 1 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 29 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Although Wang Dalin's performance was better in the second quarter, the overall performance of the two in the first half was still comparableWang Dalin was quite regretful because he still scored 2 points less than Jordan. ¡°Perhaps he didn¡¯t even think that this personal duel was very similar to Durant vs. Jordan This is probably a scene that has passed through the hearts of countless fans, and it is also a topic that many fans have discussed. "Who is stronger between the "God of Death" and the "God of Basketball"? This question will not be raised by anyone, because as long as you are a fan, you know that Durant's historical status is far behind Jordan. But who has stronger attack power, the "God of Death" or the "God of Basketball"? I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s not necessarily the case, right? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com I'm stuck and can't update today, I'm really sorry! Lao Wang also didn¡¯t expect that the planned plan would also stall. I¡¯m really sorry for all the readers. Today I have to make major adjustments to the next chapter, so I can¡¯t update it Lao Wang will definitely make up for it tomorrow! I¡¯m so sorry! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 200 Christmas War-Wang Dalin VS Tracy McGrady (10,000-word chapter, please vote and reward!) After playing the Nets in an away game on December 21, Carlisle announced that no training would be arranged for the next three days and everyone could take a good rest. ? First, it¡¯s because we have played three back-to-back games in the past seven games. Everyone is very tired and really needs a good rest. Secondly, it¡¯s also because the Pistons are playing really well this season. This wave of 26 consecutive victories. In addition to the 33 consecutive victories of the Lakers, I want to askwho else? After such a winning streak, the nerves of all the Pistons players have been too tense. Even the members of the coaching staff are extremely nervous. If they don't take a good rest, everyone may suddenly collapse at some point. . The next game is an away game against the Magic on December 25. The players only need to gather and fly to Orlando on the evening of December 24. Carlisle plans to fly the team to Orlando on the evening of December 24th, conduct two and a half hours of recovery training on the morning of December 25th, and play games in the evening This arrangement is very reasonable. Of course, the players were very happy to have three consecutive days off, but Wang Dalin felt that this was clearly because Carlisle wanted to go home to be with his wife, Donna, and his most beloved dog. Although Carlisle usually seems to have a serious face, he is actually quite humorous, but only those who know him best know this side of him. Ben and Hamilton both had their own arrangements. Wang Dalin discussed it with Daba, and they decided to take advantage of the break to go to Sacramento to meet Yao Ming. ¡°And Wang Dalin hasn¡¯t seen his ¡°second brother¡± Billups for several months. He really misses him. It¡¯s just a good time to get together this time. The reason why we have to fly to Sacramento is because the Warriors will challenge the Kings away from home on the evening of December 22. After Yao Ming experienced a slump at the beginning of the season, his performance is getting better and better. He is averaging 12.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.8 blocks per game, shooting 57.7% from the field and 78.6% from the free throw line. If you only look at his performance in December, Yao Ming has averaged 17.5 points, 11.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 2.5 blocks per game. He is definitely the best performer among this year's batch of rookies! So far, Yao Ming has scored 9 double-doubles in the 26 games he has played. On November 30, Yao Ming scored 30 points, 16 rebounds and 2 blocks on 10 of 12 shots against the Nuggets. One night he was as dominant in the paint as O'Neal was. That night, Wang Dalin remembered that Billups made a special call to him. "Second brother" smiled like a child on the phone. He told Wang Dalin that the Warriors' goal this season is at least the second round of the playoffs. You must know that the Warriors were still at the bottom of the Western Conference last season. Just drafting Yao Ming and introducing Billups could give them such ambitions It shows that people in the NBA like to be blindly confident. There are just too many! But now this Warriors team is indeed full of talent. At present, Yao Ming has secured the starting center position, plus starting point guard Chauncey Billups, starting shooting guard Jason Richardson and starting small forward Antoine Jamison No. 1 in the playoffs The second round is really not a foolish dream! Sacramento is located in central California and the Sacramento River Basin. It is the county seat of Sacramento County and the state capital of California. This city developed from a population center during the gold rush in the mid-19th century. After the gold mines were exhausted, it continued to prosper as an agricultural product trade center. The economy relies on food processing, agriculture, animal husbandry, and high-tech manufacturing as its pillar industries. Compared with Detroit, the largest industrial city in the United States, Sacramento, a medium-sized city, is undoubtedly much smaller, with a population of only more than 480,000, which is about half of Detroit. On the morning of December 22, after Wang Dalin and the bus arrived in Sacramento, they first went to the hotel to leave and salute, and then found a nearby restaurant to have lunch. After lunch, they went to the ticket office and bought two front-row tickets for that night I have to say that the football market in Sacramento was really hot, and they spent thousands of dollars on these two tickets. Since playing seven games with the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals last season, the Kings' market has been very hot. Even championship teams like the Pistonstheir ticket prices are not as good as the Kings! In the afternoon, they came to the most popular tourist attraction in Sacramento, "Sacramento Old Street", which retains wooden houses, steam trains, gold mining machines, etc. from more than 150 years ago. It has a typical western cowboy flavor and is a must-see for tourists. In addition, there are the Romanesque "Corinthian State House", "Crocker Art Museum" and "Sutter's Castle" in the Municipal Parkespecially "Sutter's Castle"After landing, he didn't chase after him. His face was full of shock Obviously, Wang Dalin's chase brought him not only surprise, but also fear! "Didn't I break through him just now? When did he catch up?" - Maybe this is the only thought in McGrady's mind at this moment. ?????????????? In fact, Wang Dalin is also calculating mentally and unintentionally, and his speed and wingspan are both good Just now, if his speed was a little slower, or his arms were a little shorter, he would not be able to block the ball! If you compare the jumping ability alone, McGrady is obviously above him Well, it should be said that only one person in the league can compare with McGrady in jumping ability. Even Kobe Bryant can't compare with him in this aspect! After seeing Hamilton score, Wang Dalin was in a good mood and finally couldn't help but smile to McGrady: "Hey, t-mac, I'm ahead of you tonight!" McGrady pouted, the light in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and he returned to his half-asleep state again: "The game has just begun, are you proud nowisn't it too early?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Okay, then you will try it again?" McGrady showed a smile on his face: "Okay, just give it a try, you have to be careful I'm going to go all out!" ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 201 Is tonight the top ten highlights? If God could give Wang Dalin another chance to come back, he swore that he would never take the initiative to provoke McGrady, not because McGrady is definitely stronger than Kobe at this time, but this guy is so calm. ! When McGrady said to him, "I'm going to go all out," Wang Dalin thought he would use all his strength to attack like Kobe. As a result, when he broke into the paint and faced a double-team, he suddenly passed the ball. From the outside, Mike Miller received the ball and shot a three-pointer through the Pistons' basket. At that moment, Wang Dalin felt like a big fool Didn't you keep saying that you should go all out and go all out to pass the ball? Maybe Wang Dalin, a senior fan, has forgotten When McGrady played point guard, his passing skills were very good, even no less than those of orthodox point guards! In the next attack, Tracy McGrady used his speed to pass Wang Dalin, and then he finally caught up with him, and was about to form a pincer attack with the defending defender. As a result, McGrady passed the ball to the inside again. "Fat Rain Man" Kemp caught the ball and turned around and succeeded in a civilian layup Well, he wanted to dunk, but he is too fat now, obviously It's just a lack of motivation. McGrady¡¯s two consecutive assists obviously made Wang Dalin¡¯s defense a little preoccupied with one thing and the other, and even Ben didn¡¯t dare to come over to help defend. Fortunately, Hamilton also scored a goal in these two attacks of the Pistons, otherwise the Magic would probably gain momentum. At 4 minutes and 42 seconds, the two sides were tied at 8:8. Carlisle called a timeout and redeployed his defensive strategy. For McGrady, Carlisle emphasized that Wang Dalin can defend alone. Unless he can break through to the three-second zone, other players must first keep an eye on themselves. Carlisle didn¡¯t know that Magic head coach Doc Rivers had made the same arrangement. He was also very afraid of Wang Dalin¡¯s ability to support him and would rather let McGrady defend Wang Dalin alone. On this night, the head coaches of the Pistons and Magic deployed this extremely retro defensive tactic to their players. For a moment, the fans in the "Waterhouse Center Stadium" felt like they were back in the 1990s. In the first offense after returning from the timeout, McGrady had clearly felt the adjustment of the opponent's defensive strategy. Even if he used the pick-and-roll to create space for a three-point shot, the Pistons refused to change defense, and even Wang Dalin tried his best to Even when you come around the screen, you have to continue to face him. ¡°In that case, let¡¯s shoot McGrady took advantage of the screen to shoot a three-pointer. Wang Dalin was blocked by Kemp and did not cause much interference. With a "swish" sound, the ball was scored! Looking back, Wang Dalin followed suit. He used Robinson's pick-and-roll at the top of the arc to return a pull-up three-pointer and the goal was also scored. When it was the Magic's turn to attack, McGrady called for a pick-and-roll again, and this time it was Pat Garrity who covered him. "Compared to the cumbersome and slow Kemp, Garrity not only moves much faster, but he also has a very accurate outside shooting ability. Kemp can only slide down after the pick-and-roll. Because his speed is too slow and his body's explosive power has almost been lost, even if he sneaks into the basket, the threat will not be great. As long as Ben pays a little attention when assisting in defense, This guy basically has no chance to attack. But Garrity is different He can go down or out after the pick-and-roll, and he is faster. As long as the defensive player moves a little slower, he can get a good shot. Faced with this situation, Wang Dalin had no choice but to strictly guard McGrady's breakthrough route. If he wanted to use the screen to shoot from outside the three-point line then he would have to let him shoot! Comparing to Garrity's 41.3% three-point shooting rate, Wang Dalin would rather shoot McGrady from outside the three-point line. At least the stability of his outside shooting is definitely not as good as Garrity's. Tracy McGrady did not hesitate. He used the screen to open up space and then raised his hand to shoot There was a "swish" sound, and the basketball passed through the basket again. Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly, because the scene he was most afraid of appeared. The reason why some media call him the "enlarged version" of Tracy McGrady is mainly because they both have very accurate mid- and long-range shots. In other words, as long as their outside touch is good, it will be very difficult to defend players like them Wang Dalin can rely on his height and wingspan to directly pull up in front of most defensive players, and McGrady can do the same. Against a defender like Wang Dalin who is obviously taller than him, he only needs a pick-and-roll. In the tnt live broadcast room, Smith smiled and said: "Charles, it seems that t-mac feels very good tonight. If Darling-Wang continuesUnable to close the door, Buckley couldn't help but said angrily: "Why don't you be so proud?" Smith smiled and said: "I'm just proud come and bite me if you can?" Buckley showed a smirk on his face and said: "It would be too disgusting to bite you, but beating you I think it's quite relaxing!" Smith¡¯s face changed drastically and he said: ¡°Hey¡­it¡¯s being broadcast live across the United States now, why don¡¯t you, kid, be violent in front of me in front of the national audience?¡± Buckley smiled and said: "The director didn't stop me, which means he really wants to see me beat you up Well, the viewers in front of the TV probably want to see it too, right?" Smith¡¯s face was full of defensiveness, he clenched his fists and said, ¡°You kid, don¡¯t push yourself too far, I¡¯m not someone to be trifled with!¡± Barkley smiled and said: "I think even Shaq was defeated by me back then With your small body, I can defeat you with one hand!" Smith hurriedly said: "Okay, I admit that I was a little carried away but this goal is so exciting. Are you indifferent to such a goal?" Barkley nodded and said: "Yes, this ball is indeed very exciting. I guess it will be selected as one of the top ten balls of the week However, Darling King will soon find his place again. Don't be too proud, kid!" Smith smiled and said: "That's not necessarily truet-mac will be absolutely unstoppable tonight!" ¡­¡­ McGrady's wonderful goal instantly ignited the passion of the home fans in the "Water House Center Stadium", and also ignited Wang Dalin's fighting spirit unwilling to fail. After receiving the ball from outside the left three-point line, Wang Dalin's movements did not stop at all. ??Testing stepsshaking shouldersand then raising the ball upwards with both hands. Wang Dalin's fake moves have never been more realistic than at this moment. Even a strong defensive player like McGrady was shaken to his feet. Wang Dalin immediately started to attack the inside. His breakthrough speed was very fast, and he had already taken two steps when McGrady landed. With Wang Dalin¡¯s astonishing stride length, two steps already represents a long march. "Block him!" McGrady couldn¡¯t catch up in time, so he had to shout loudly. Garrity made up for it. Kemp committed two fouls without being replaced by the coach. It was already a very risky thing. He could no longer be used to make up the defense. He instinctively moved a step to the left, facing Wang Dalin who rushed in at high speed. His hands habitually protected his lower body This look made it clear that he wanted to cause Wang Dalin to commit an offensive foul. But he still underestimated Wang Dalin's control over his body After Wang Dalin took two steps, he could only take off, but when he jumped, he didn't rush forward, but spun sideways and jumped up. . There was a look of horror on Garrity's face. He could only watch helplessly as Wang Dalin spun 180 degrees to avoid him, and then with his body falling, he gently picked up the basket with one hand and put the ball into the basket. A sigh suddenly sounded in the "Waterhouse Center Gymnasium" How jubilant the fans were after McGrady's goal just now, they are so disappointed now. Wang Dalin almost lost his footing after landing After all, it was a layup with a 180-degree turn in the air, and he had to pay attention to avoid the defender. It was really difficult! After scoring this goal, Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but feel secretly happy. Thinking about the first time he saw Vince Carter score such a goal on TV, the excitement in his heart was simply indescribable. What kind of physical fitness and technical level do you have to be able to score such a goal? Now he actually scored such a goal in the game with exactly the same action. To be honest, he is still a little proud. McGrady¡¯s shot just now was indeed exciting, but Wang Dalin¡¯s shot was undoubtedly even more exciting. Buckley immediately laughed, and the fat on his face trembled slightly: "Look, I said Darling will definitely be able to find his place soon, right?" Smith couldn¡¯t help but sigh: ¡°Charles, do you think we are showing the top ten ball highlights tonight? Why is it always like this magic ball?¡± ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 202 If you don¡¯t cheat now, when will you wait? "In the "Water House Center Gymnasium", the audience was all fascinated Tonight's game was really exciting! Just after Tracy McGrady and Wang Dalin scored a wonderful goal respectively, the two immediately used their best to start a more intense one-on-one battle. Carlisle sat on the sidelines, his expression becoming more solemn. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And the biggest disadvantage of star-to-star competition is that once your star is at a disadvantage in the competition, the balance of the game will tilt towards the opponent, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to Carlisle. After all, basketball is a sport for five people, not just a duel between stars! About eight minutes into the first quarter, the head coaches of both sides replaced some rotation players with a tacit understanding. The Magic removed Kemp and Hill and replaced them with Darrell Armstrong and Andrew De Klerk. . Doc Rivers probably also wanted to make McGrady more comfortable to play one-on-one, so he deliberately replaced him with Armstrong, an orthodox point guard, and De Klerk, a center who was a second-round pick in 1995, is also younger and more aggressive than Kemp. . For the Pistons, Carlisle replaced Hamilton, McGinnis and Robinson, and replaced Williams, Barry and Battle. I guess Carlisle also thought clearly. Anyway, Wang Dalin and Tracy McGrady are on the court now. It would be a waste for the other main players to stay on the court. They might as well repair the Magic's second lineup. If it were the playoffs, McGrady might have played the full game, but tonight was just a regular season game, and McGrady couldn't have played the full 48 minutes! As long as McGrady takes a rest, Carlisle will decisively replace Wang Dalin and Big Ben, and then send Hamilton, McGinnis, Boozer, Robinson and other offensive players to play to "abuse" Compared with the depth of the lineup, the Magic can't beat the horse. Can't keep up with the Pistons! In the last 4 minutes of the first quarter, Wang Dalin's touch was obviously declining, and his three consecutive attacks were all shots. McGrady seized the opportunity and led the team to an 8:2 spurt, stretching the score to 29:23 in one fell swoop. At the beginning of the second quarter, McGrady came off the court to rest, and Carlisle also immediately replaced Wang Dalin and Big Ben, replacing him with a purely offensive lineup of Okur, Boozer, Williams, Barry and Alston. Under the leadership of Hill, the Magic struggled to contend with the Pistons, but how could they be a match for the Pistons' aggressive offense? If Hill had not suffered that serious knee injury and was still the "Successor to Jordan" in the Mega League back then, his strength would probably still be above that of Tracy McGrady It's a pity that time will never come back, and the past will only Can be recalled! During this period of time, Hill was not only unable to prevent Hamilton's running and shooting on the court, but he also did nothing on the offensive end. Several shots ended in blackouts. And "Fat Rain Man" Kemp was walked in an extremely embarrassed manner by Boozer and Okur. Both of them have good mid-range shooting ability. If Camp doesn't guard against it, their mid-range shots can really be scored. But once he guards against it, the inside will be empty. Another Magic insider, Pat Garrity, is very accurate in his long-range shooting, but his defensive ability is only so-so. It will be extremely difficult to defend either Boozer or Okur. At the beginning of the second quarter, Hamilton, Boozer and Okur were playing well. Hamilton made 3 of 4 shots and scored 6 points. Boozer and Okur both made 2 of 3 shots and scored 4 points each. This quarter lasted only about 5 minutes, and the Pistons hit a 14:4 spurt, not only catching up with the 6-point deficit, but also taking the lead 37:33. McGrady rested for about 5 minutes and finally came back on the court, and Carlisle also replaced Wang Dalin. In the second half of the second quarter, the game once again returned to the confrontation between Tracy McGrady and Wang Dalin. The two showed high standards on both offense and defense. The audience couldn't help but exclaimed again and again. McGrady felt really good tonight. After scoring 12 points on 5 of 8 shots in the first quarter, he made another 4 of 7 shots in the second half of the second quarter, including 1 of 3 three-pointers. Scored 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals. After halftime, McGrady made a total of 9 of 15 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. Wang Dalin made the same 5-for-8 shots as McGrady in the first quarter, including 2-for-3 three-pointers and 3-for-3 free throws. He scored 15 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block. His score was even higher than McGrady. But in the second half of the second quarter, his touch dropped significantly. He only scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal on 2 of 6 shots. Especially, he failed to score two shots from outside the three-point line. &??Enter again! McGrady looked back and was stunned. He really rarely showed this expression, mainly because of his sleepy eyes he really couldn't open them! The score was finally tied, and the Pistons players and Carlisle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But Wang Dalin¡¯s expression is obviously a little unfinished It¡¯s only been 5 rounds, and I still have 5 shells left in my Italian cannon! So as the home audience of the "Shuiwu Center Gymnasium" sighed again and again, Wang Dalin kept up his efforts and hit 5 more three-pointers. It's not that the Magic didn't try to limit his three-point shooting. They tried their best to defend him every time, especially Tracy McGrady, who mainly defended him. He could swear that every time he defended, there were no flaws. It's enough of a distraction, but how the hell can he get in? During this period, Rivers called a timeout again, but it was just like the last time he called a timeoutit was of no use at all! Wang Dalin¡¯s shots were each more difficult than the last. Even though Kenny Smith could already be called a legendary pitcher in the league, he couldn¡¯t help but admire his batting. Especially for the last ball, McGrady's hand had obviously hit Wang Dalin's right forearm. Even though the shooting action was completely changed, the ball still went in Can there be an extra penalty for a three-pointer? Just ask. Does it smell good to you? In this regard, Wang Dalin acted very calmly, because he was so awesome after cheating, and this was just a basic operation! During the 2001 playoffs, Wang Dalin broke the NBA playoff record for three-pointers made in a single game. Now he has broken the record for three-pointers made in a single game in the regular season. Prior to this, the NBA regular season record for three-pointers in a single game was held by Magic small forward Denis Scott in the early years. He made 17 three-pointers in a game against the Hawks on April 18, 1996. He made 11 shots and scored 35 points. In that game, he scored 33 points just on three-pointers, but he only scored 35 points in total. I have to say, this guy is really a professional shooter He did nothing but shoot three-pointers! In addition to the three-pointer record, he also broke the NBA regular season scoring record in a single quarter. In this quarter, he made a total of 12 of 14 shots, including 10 of 11 three-pointers. He scored 34 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. . Previously, this record was held by the legendary superstar "Iceman" George Gervin On the last day of the 1977-1978 regular season, Gervin scored 63 points in the game between the Spurs and the Jazz. Among them, he scored 33 points in the second quarter. In fact, Gervin's 33 points in a single quarter was somewhat grudge-y. At that time, he and "Skywalker" David Thompson were competing for the title of scoring champion that season, and the gap between the two was very small. As a result, Thompson scored 73 points in the last game and scored 32 points in the first quarter. If Gervin wants to become the scoring leader, he must at least score 58 points in the last game. So Gervin perfectly responded to Thompson¡¯s 73 points with 33 points in a single quarter and 63 points in the game, and became the scoring leader that season. If you really want to count it out, Gervin¡¯s single-quarter scoring record is really valuable. After all, the NBA didn¡¯t have a three-point line at that time! After the game started in the fourth quarter, McGrady was obviously a little sluggish, and he no longer regained his bravery in the first three quarters, so Rivers replaced all the main players about 6 minutes into the fourth quarter, and Carlisle also replaced Wang Dalin and the others. Replaced. Wang Dalin played very "Buddha-like" in the last quarter. It was probably because he was too excited with the continuous offense in the third quarter. He might feel a little "guilty" towards Hamilton and the others, so he basically stayed in this quarter. Play ball for your teammates. Wang Dalin only played 6 minutes in this quarter and only scored 2 points on 1-of-2 shooting. However, he sent out 5 assists and grabbed 4 rebounds. So In this personal scoring battle against Biao, Wang Dalin actually scored a near-triple-double with 54 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists. In addition, he also sent 2 steals and 2 blocks. McGrady scored 46 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. He already performed very well, but he still lost, not only the game, but also the personal duel. After winning against the Magic, the Pistons have won 27 consecutive games No matter what the outside world thinks, or what people inside the team think, breaking the Lakers' 33-game winning streak will be their important goal in the next stage. Wang Dalin is probably more eager for this goal than anyone else The "copper skin and iron bone badge" he dreams of seems to be waving to him not far away! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 203 Signed another endorsement On December 26, the Pistons flew non-stop to Washington, where they were going to challenge the Wizards in back-to-back away games. If the opponent is Jordan who cheated at the beginning of the month, maybe Wang Dalin will have some headaches. After all, Jordan's strength at his peak is really no joke. There is no suspense about the process and result of the game. After all, when Jordan is not cheating, he is just a very good 39-year-old veteran No matter how good he is, he is already old! In this game, Jordan made 7 of 17 shots, plus 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 17 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 blocks. His performance was certainly not bad, but this "good" is based on his 39-year-old age. Wizards second-in-command Jerry Stackhouse performed slightly better than Jordan. He made 6 of 14 shots, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 11 of 12 free throws. He scored 24 points and 3 rebounds. 1 assist, 1 stealhe scored 24 points on just 14 shots. I have to say that this guy's ability to draw fouls is really strong. The best performer on the Pistons side is Wang Dalin, but compared to his incredible performance in the last game, his state this time is obviously much mediocre. Wang Dalin made 10 of 18 shots from the field, including 3 of 7 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 27 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and 1 block The major media did not comment on his triple-double performance. The fuss seems to be a bit used to it. With Wang Dalin¡¯s current strength, it¡¯s nothing unusual to have a triple-double. Other Pistons players also performed well. For example, Hamilton scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. Ben also contributed 6 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks. Boozer, Okur and Williams also scored in double figures ¡­ In the end, the Pistons defeated the Wizards 102:78 without any blood, finally ending this three-game trip to the Eastern Conference. They returned to Detroit that night. Wang Dalin felt that all the cells in his body had relaxed, and he lay down on his big bed and had a good sleep. Carlisle did not schedule training as usual on December 27, because they had to face the challenge of the Western Conference powerhouse Timberwolves at home on the 28th. So far this season, the Timberwolves have played 29 games, with a record of 16 wins and 13 losses, and are currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference. After last season, the league's teams have gradually adapted to the new rules, especially the "legalization of zone defense" so the Timberwolves no longer have the advantage they had last season. However, Kevin Garnett's performance is still terrible. In these 29 games, he averaged 21.7 points, 13.1 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. In the game between the Timberwolves and the Bucks on November 7, Garnett made 9 of 17 shots and 10 of 11 free throws. He scored 28 points, 24 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and only made 1 turnover in the game. In the game between the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies on November 9, Garnett made 11 of 20 shots and 12 of 15 free throws. He scored 34 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. He made only 1 turnover in the game. . In these two games, Garnett hit 20+20 and 30+20 double-doubles, which once made the major media evaluate him more than Tim Duncan. In the past few years at the beginning of the 21st century, the "four major centers of the 1990s" have aged one after another, leaving O'Neal alone to guard the glory of the center. Several outstanding power forwards in the league have gradually shown the trend of pushing the waves ahead. . However, Garnett's performance on the night of December 28 was obviously a bit stretched. Under Wang Dalin's full defense, he only made 8 of 20 shots from the field. In addition, he made 4 of 5 free throws. He finally scored 20 points, 13 rebounds and 1 Steals, 1 block, and not even 1 assist! In comparison, Wang Dalin's performance was much more efficient. He made 9 of 17 shots from the field, including 4 of 8 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 29 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. No matter which aspect he compares with, he completely beats Garnett. Timberwolves center Mark Jackson came on as a substitute for 27 minutes and made 5 of 10 shots and 7 of 7 free throws. He efficiently scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, dwarfing Okur who only scored 9 points and 6 rebounds in the game. However, Boozer had his strongest performance of the season. He came off the bench and contributed a super high shooting percentage of 9 of 12 in 24 minutes. In addition, he made 4 of 5 free throws and scored a double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds. . In the end, the Pistons easily defeated the Timberwolves 106:82 and continued their winning streak. On December 30, the Pistons continued to play at home, and this time they came to challenge the Trail Blazersanother powerful team in the Western Conference! The Trail Blazers have a better record than the Timberwolves this season. They are currently 17 wins and 11 losses, ranking fourth in the Western Conference. Even though the team's spiritual leader, Scottie Pippen, is one year older than last season, even though "Roaring King" Rasheed Wallace still doesn't like the referees, even though Bunchy Wells is older than last season. His performance has obviously dropped a lot, but Wang Dalin knows that the strength of this Trail Blazers team is definitely not good enough.??, as soon as he came on stage, he wanted to play a very complicated piece called "Lights of the Harbor"! Yes, he started playing as soon as he came on stage Only then did I realize how courageous this guy was! " Wang Dalin also took a trip to New York, but he was not as free as Carlisle, because he came here to negotiate commercial endorsements. If it were any other brand, Schwartz, the agent, would have done it for him. All he had to do was be present at the final signing. But this time the brand was a little different because the brand name was "Pepsi"! Compared with another beverage giant "Coca-Cola", "Pepsi-Cola" obviously started a little later, but in recent years its development momentum has been much stronger than "Coca-Cola". In the 2001 "The Most Admired Companies in America" ??and "The Most Admired Companies in the World" surveys and rankings in various industries published by Fortune magazine, PepsiCo continued to be ranked as the "Most Admired Company in the World and the United States." "And ranked first in the beverage industry! And among the world's top 500 companies published by the magazine, PepsiCo ranks 63rd. Wang Dalin had just seen the Pepsi commercial of Britney Spears, Beyonc¨¦ and Pink not long ago. When they sang "We Will Rock You" in the ancient Roman arena, the hairs on Wang Dalin's back stood up. . ?? And there are far more commercials produced by Pepsi-Cola in 2002. For example, Robert Carlos's bowing free kick commercial during the World Cup in Korea and Japan was also quite interesting. In addition, Pepsi also signed "f4", which is popular in Asia, and specially created the advertising song "Desire for Infinite". The melody and lyrics are very good, but the singing skills of the four "f4" are a bit poor. Wang Dalin is of course very interested in signing a contract with Pepsi. At least Pepsi's advertisement is very interesting. Schwartz has basically negotiated the contract and price with PepsiCo. Referring to the previous endorsement prices of football stars such as Roberto Carlos and David Beckham, PepsiCo has offered Wang Dalin a price of US$10 million over two years. In addition to endorsing "Pepsi-Cola", he also has other brands owned by PepsiCo. A brand "Gatorade". Wang Dalin only earns US$5 million per year for endorsing two brands. It seems that the price is not high, right? Don¡¯t think that the price seems low. After all, there are dozens of PepsiCo spokespersons, and the total endorsement fees for so many people are quite terrifying. In fact, Wang Dalin¡¯s annual endorsement fee of US$5 million is considered to be the highest level among many Pepsi stars. Above him, there is only "Tiger" Tiger Woodsthat guy endorses "Gatorade" The price is $100 million over 5 years! Wang Dalin didn¡¯t hesitate, he just agreed with the top management of PepsiCo on the shooting time of the advertisement For a commercial like PepsiCo, which can be called a visual blockbuster, it cannot be shot in the middle of the regular season, but only in the offseason. PepsiCo executives didn¡¯t say anything, but said they needed Wang Dalin and Beckham, Britney, Beyonc¨¦ and others to shoot two or three commercials in the summer of 2003. There are many other promotional activities. For example, during the All-Star Weekend this season, Wang Dalin must attend the "Streetball Challenge" organized by PepsiCo Of course, he is only an on-site commentator. ¡­¡­ On January 2, the league announced the winners of the best players in the East and West in December. They are Chris Webber from the West and Wang Dalin from the East. In the past December, Webber led the Kings to an 11-3 record. He also averaged 24.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game. Weber¡¯s performance this month is indeed the best in the Western Conference. Not only is the team¡¯s record good, but his personal data is also impeccable. However, compared to Wang Dalin, the best player in the Eastern Conference, he is obviously much inferior. It goes without saying that the Pistons have won 13 games this month. The key is that they have won 30 consecutive games, second in history, and their winning streak continues until now. Wang Dalin averaged 31.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.5 blocks per game in December, shooting 54.1% from the field, 46.4% from three-point range, and 86.4% from free throws. As the games come one after another, the Pistons are no longer as strong as they were at the beginning of the season, and Wang Dalin's playing time has naturally increased slightly, so his personal data is better than in November (Remember Website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 204 Epic winning streak If it weren¡¯t for the strong desire for the ¡°Copper Skin and Iron Bone Badge¡±, Wang Dalin would really not be willing to break the 33-game winning streak It¡¯s so tiring! On the evening of January 3, when all the Pistons gathered at the airport, Wang Dalin found that everyone was in a similar state to him. They were all yawning, as if they hadn't woken up. Although we have rested for four days, it seems that everyone really did not have a good rest, or even after resting, they did not really relax their nerves. Wang Dalin now knows why even Jordan and the "OK Combination", who are as strong as the peak, have not been able to lead the team to break the record of 33 consecutive victories. When a team's winning streak reaches 18 or 19 games, the players will become more and more nervous. Who is not interested in the league's historical winning streak? The closest thing to this record in later generations is the Heat in the 2011-2012 season, when James, Wade and Bosh led the team to a 27-game winning streak, but they ultimately fell short. Are they not strong enough? I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s because the players¡¯ spirits have collapsed, right? At that time, maybe losing a game was a good thing for them, because they finally relaxed completely and no longer had to bear the heavy shackles of trying to break the historical winning streak. On the evening of January 4, the Pistons will challenge the Hawks away from home. On this morning, the league finally announced the results of the second round of this year¡¯s All-Star voting. No surpriseWang Dalin is the vote king again, and the number of votes announced this round for Wang Dalin actually exceeded 2 million votes. Last year, Wang Dalin finally got 2,515,462 votes, which broke the historical record of NBA All-Star voting. This year, it seems that he will refresh his own record. Wang Dalin himself was also surprised, because after all, he traveled through time in 2021. He knew that the highest number of votes in NBA All-Star voting was more than 5.9 million votes, but that was the Internet era! Nowadays, Internet voting is just emerging. He was able to get more than 2 million votes in the second round. Considering that the All-Star voting channel will continue to be open for another month, his vote count will most likely exceed 300 by then. Wanthis is really terrifying! Looking only at the voting results of this round, Kobe, who ranked second, only received more than 950,000 votes, less than half of Wang Dalin¡¯s! This is because the number of domestic netizens is too small. If in a few years, Wang Dalin dares to say that he can get tens of millions of votes every year As long as David Stern and others don't do anything, do you think Yao Yao in the original time and space Couldn't Ming get more than 10 million votes? ¡­¡­ In this game on January 4th, everyone could see that the Pistons players were in extremely poor condition, but coincidentally the Eagles players were in even worse condition than them! Only Wang Dalin in the Pistons is in good condition. That night, he made 12 of 19 shots, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored a triple-double of 33 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists. He also had 1 steal and 1 assist. Second block. The main players of the Pistons were in poor condition. Hamilton made only 3 of 11 shots, Robinson made 1 of 6 shots, McGinnis made 1 of 7 shots, and Ben even only grabbed 3 rebounds. If Carlisle hadn't decisively replaced Boozer, Okur, Williams, Alston and other substitute players in the second half, how could Wang Dalin have sent so many assists? Compared with the sluggishness of the main players, although the Pistons' substitute players are not in very good condition, they can at least actively run and shoot the ball in the open space. In the second half of the fourth quarter, even the bus played for a few minuteswell, it was already garbage time! The Eagles traded "Big Dog" Glenn Robinson from the Bucks this summer. This guy is still in great shape, but he was unable to lead the team to victory. After this game, the Eagles' record is already 12 wins and 20 losses. If there is no big trade in the middle of the season, they may not be able to make the playoffs this season. On January 6, the Pistons returned home to face the Raptors. There is no suspense about the outcome of this game Although the nerves of the Pistons were as tight as a bowstring, facing the Raptors who were missing Vince Carter, they still showed the most powerful momentum in the Eastern Conference. Wang Dalin only played three quarters and made 7 of 13 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 22 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. The Pistons also easily defeated the Raptors 102:74, winning their 32nd consecutive victory. With only one win away from tying the record of 33 consecutive wins, the Pistons players are basically worried about gains and losses. Only Carlisle and Wang Dalin can continue to remain calm. On January 8, the Pistons challenged the 76ers away. ??It¡¯s not like he retired without even touching the championship trophy! " "Then we kept winning, and kept winninguntil we won 33 consecutive victories!" ¡°I was thinking at that timewe are so damn awesome!¡± "This record will definitely remain for many years, and no team will ever be able to break our record But I didn't expect the Pistons and Darling Wang to do it. They are really an amazing team!" Mr. Russell also smiled and said: "Yes, these kids have really done a great job! If they can win the championship this year, I think they deserve it, and I will be very willing to give them the best The outstanding young man presents the FMVP trophy!¡± "Magic" Johnson smiled and said: "You don't have to be so subtle. We all know that as long as the Pistons win the championship, FMVP will definitely be the Darling King's!" Russell couldn't help laughing and said: "Yes, it must be this young manhe is simply outstanding this season!" ¡­¡­ The words of the big guys were full of praise for the Pistons. As a result, that night, with the cheers of more than 22,000 home fans at the "Palace of Auburn Hills", the Pistons lost to the Bucks 87:89, and it finally ended. The pace of their winning streak also set the NBA's historical winning streak record at 34 consecutive victories. I have to say that sometimes too much milk can lead to poisoning! In this game, Wang Dalin made only 6 of 19 shots, including 1 of 7 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws. He only scored 16 points This was also Wang Dalin's lowest score in a single game this season. His touch and overall condition are indeed quite stretched, but his support ability is still there, and he is also very active in rebounding, so in this game he still scored a triple-double of 16 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal. Counting this game, Wang Dalin has scored 9 triple-doubles this season, including many large triple-doubles who scored 30+ and 40+. He has always topped the list of ESPN's mvp rankings. Others can't compare with him at all, because the current voting gap predicted by ESPN is really too big. On January 12, the league announced the winner of last week's Eastern and Western Player of the Week. Although Wang Dalin's Pistons lost one game, he still averaged 28.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 1.25 blocks and 1.75 steals per game. Eastern Conference Player of the Week. The best in the Western Conference was won by Kobe Bryant. He led the Lakers to victory in three games this week and averaged 32.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7 assists, 2.3 steals and 1 block per game. He is indeed domineering to the extreme! After losing to the Hornets, the Pistons will experience back-to-back away games against the Magic and Heat. Just looking at this season's record, the Magic are ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference with 20 wins and 19 losses, while the Heat are ranked 13th in the Eastern Conference with 12 wins and 25 losses. Neither of them are very strong opponents for the Pistons. . The result of the game on the night of January 13 also proved this. In this game, Wang Dalin reversed the sluggish performance in the previous game. He made 9 of 17 shots, including 5 of 9 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 28 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 steals very efficiently. 2 blocks, not only scored his 10th triple-double this season, but also led the team to easily defeat the Magic. McGrady¡¯s state is a bit like Wang Dalin¡¯s in the last game. He made 6 of 19 shots, including 1 of 1 three-point field goal, and 7 of 9 free throws. He scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? t-mac is also a tough-minded man even when his hand is not good. Most of the time, his strikes can really make his opponents helpless, but sometimes they can make his teammates angry to death. The Pistons lost on the evening of January 14th. They lost to the Heat, which was almost at the bottom of the Eastern Conference! Wang Dalin's condition in this game is indeed average Maybe it was the back-to-back away games that affected his physical strength, but Wang Dalin himself thought that his condition was a bit unstable after experiencing 34 consecutive victories. He made 8 of 18 shots from the field, including 3 of 9 three-pointers and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 25 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, with no steals or blocks. But he is not the worst player on the PistonsHamilton made 5 of 14 shots from the field and was even more stretched than him! In addition, Robinson made 3 of 11 shots, Ben made 0 of 5 shots, Barry made 1 of 4 shots, Williams made 2 of 6 shots, Boozer made 2 of 7 shots Wang Dalin's performance turned out to be the best in the team! If you can still avoid losing after playing so poorly, wouldn¡¯t it be unreasonable? On January 17, the Pistons will face the Knicks at home. ¡°I guess I saw that the Pistons dared to lose even to the Heat, and the Knicks¡¯ backup center Tyrese Knight jumped out and screamed again (Remember this website¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com Free for a limited time, take a day off today! As the title says, today is free for a limited time, and Lao Wang will stop updating for one day! More updates will be sent tomorrow! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 205 Do you have to come here and give me your head? Looking at the long history of the NBA, there are countless white backup centers like Tyrese Knight. He is 213cm tall, weighs 107kg, and has a wingspan of 220cm. In the most glorious season of his career, he only averaged 6.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. As a high center, his shooting percentage is less than 44%, he has no three-point shooting ability at all, and his long-range two-point shooting percentage is only 27.8% It can be said that there is no offensive firepower outside the three-second zone. If I use Wang Dalin's words - "I'm afraid no one will want this guy to play in the CBA, right?" But it was such an unknown person who made bold statements in front of reporters when they were about to face the Pistons, which had the league's best record! "They just ended their 34-game winning streak a few days ago. They are indeed very good! In fact, what I want to say isthis doesn't mean anything!" "We have Alan Houston, he is the best scorer in the entire East, he can put the ball into the basket from any position!" "We also have Latrell Sprewell. He has already proven himself in the league. The opponent's No. 2 position can't stop his attack at all!" "We also have an advantage inside. Kurt Thomas is the best power forward I have ever seen. He can attack and defend well You know what I want to say. The guy Clifford on the other side is too old. He There¡¯s no way you can guard against Kurt!¡± ¡°And the depth of our lineup is also great. We have Clarence Witherspoon, Charlie Ward, Shanton Anderson on the benchwell, and me!¡± "And head coach Don Cheney even beat the rookie head coach of the PistonsI really can't imagine why we would lose to them?" "Just wait and see, I will take care of their two rookie insiders in tonight's game. If I have the chance, I will also switch positions to guard Darling King He is very powerful, but my height can help him It¡¯s going to be a lot of trouble, it will definitely be very difficult for him to score in front of me!¡± You can imagine how the Pistons players felt when they saw this interview video. Da Ben stared at Wang Dalin and said, "Is he serious?" Wang Dalin smiled bitterly: "Who the hell knows?" Hamilton said while wearing a mask: "I said I can't guard Latrell, as if he can guard me I'm averaging 5 points higher than him, okay?" Robinson also said angrily: "You dare to say that I am old. Tonight I will let this kid learn the word 'old and strong' again!" ? Boozer and Okur were even more furious. Okur's personality was relatively reserved, but Boozer had a very hot temper. He announced on the spot that he would beat up Knight on the court. Wang Dalin knew that the Knicks were going to be in trouble tonight when he saw everyone's excited expressions Tyrese Knight would even be blown to pieces! In fact, it is really difficult for Wang Dalin to understand the mindless remarks or weird behaviors of some NBA players. For example, his old teammate Ricky Davis thought LeBron James was there to assist him, which is already very weird. There is also Larry Sanders, who once played for the Bucks. He is an excellent defensive player and performed quite well during his time with the Bucks. ¡°But this guy loves art and always likes to communicate with some artists. He also has the personality of an artist, that is, indulgent and freewheeling. During his playing days, he was suspended for violating NBA regulations. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????In the past, he chose basketball as a career because he had no money. Now that he has sufficient funds, he is going to pursue his artistic dream. ¡°Hmm¡­ I have to say, this guy is an artist who was delayed by basketball! In fact, there is a player on the Knicks who is more stupid than Tyrese Knight, and that is "Madman" Latrell Sprewell. ??This guy has received technical fouls on the court many times in his career because of his fiery temper, and he also beat his head coach Do you know about the famous "Choke Gate"? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With Big Brother ¡°Madman¡± as an example, it seems logical that Tyrese Knight can do such weird things. On the night of January 17, Knicks head coach Don Cheney was sent to the hospital due to physical discomfort, and will be directed by assistant coach Steve Clifford at the scene. I guess Don Cheney was so angry with Tyrese Knight that he was hospitalized, right? Last time you went to build a foundation, the Pistons gave us a "58 tragedy", why the hell don't you have a long memory? This time"Admiral" David Robinson is obviously old and honest, so the current Spurs team actually only has Duncan as a single core. Of course, the strength of "Deng Dadai" cannot be underestimated. So far this season, he has averaged 23.8 points, 12.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 3 blocks per game. Even in the West, which is full of strong players, the Spurs can still rank among the top four this season, undoubtedly relying on Duncan's outstanding performance. And Wang Dalin knows that in the original time and space, after winning the regular season MVP last season, Duncan will win this award again this season. In other wordsthe past two years have been Duncan's true peak, and Wang Dalin's goal this season is very clear, which is to snatch the mvp trophy from Duncan. Since he met an MVP competitor and the strongest competitor, Wang Dalin naturally attached great importance to this game and even took the initiative to say hello during the warm-up before the game. It is said that Duncan never pays attention to the trash talk of his opponents, but Wang Dalin wants to give it a try (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 206 Bowen, you¡¯re trying to protect me, right? ?? The evening of January 25th. In the "ATT Center Arena" in San Antonio, the Spurs players were still very relaxed during the warm-up. Duncan even performed his own stunt "Windmill Dunk" for everyone Of course, you can't dunk it, it's just a joke. Seeing Wang Dalin walking straight over, Duncan's face was obviously a little surprised. "Hi Tim, how are you doing?" "Well, Darling, I'm pretty good, how about you?" "Me? I can only say it's so-so I just had a triple-double of 42 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists against the Rockets yesterday!" "Wellit's really just so-so!" It¡¯s hard to imagine that the first two sentences of the conversation between Wang Dalin and Duncan turned out to be like this. Wang Dalin was also a little surprisedDidn't he say that Duncan couldn't joke? Isn't this a joke? Sure enough, a second later, Duncan said with a smile: "Do you know, when you just said that getting a 40+ large triple-double was just average, I really wanted to slap you twice!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Have you never produced such data?" Duncan shook his head and said: "No you are really awesome! I have been in the league since 1997, and I have never played this kind of data! Let alone a 40+ large triple-double, even if it is a 30+ triple-double, I I haven¡¯t typed it out yet!¡± Wang Dalin smiled and said: "You will definitely be able to fight in the future maybe tonight?" Duncan laughed loudly and said: "Thanks to your good advice, I will hit a 40+ big triple-double tonight and send you directly back to Detroit!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "That's not necessarily trueand I always feel that even if you can hit a 40+ triple-double tonight, I will definitely perform better than you!" Duncan smiled and said: "Okay, I admit that you are good, right? However, tonight's victory must belong to us, and you can't beat me!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "We'll see!" After saying that, he turned around and walked back to his own half. After receiving the basketball thrown by McGinnis, he shot directly at the top of the arc about two meters away from the three-point line The ball drew a very high arc. , and then plunged into the basket. Duncan on the other side of the court naturally saw this scene. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by solemnity. ¡­¡­ Although Duncan is only in his sixth season in the league, everyone now generally believes that he is the number one power forward in the league. Even Karl Malone's career scoring total has ranked second in history. People still think that Duncan is the better one. In fact, in addition to the fact that Duncan has more FMVPs than Malone, there are also factors related to their playing styles Malone's actions on the court are still too dirty and are indeed very unpopular! Throughout the history of the NBA, none of the players recognized as the number one player in each position is a representative of dirty playing style. For example, the number one point guard in history is "Magic" Earvin Johnson. If he played like the "Smiling Assassin" Isiah Thomas, I am afraid people would not recognize him as the number one in history. There is also the "King of Forces" Larry Bird Although this guy has unrivaled verbal skills, his playing style is very clean. Otherwise, how could people recognize him as the number one small forward in history? As for the "old gangster" Michael Jordan He does have a lot of small moves on the defensive end, such as pulling and pushing, but he never makes despicable and obscene moves, such as stepping on his feet and inserting. Eyes, crotch picking, etc. Duncan is undoubtedly a very clean player. As an inside player who has been fighting with the opponent's muscle stick in the three-second zone for a long time, he doesn't even commit many fouls, and he has never committed a foul! There is already Bruce Bowen doing this kind of job in the Spurs. If Duncan plays like this, the Spurs may become the second "bad boy army". In the tnt live broadcast room, Barkley and Smith were already in place. They had not broadcast a Pistons game for a long time, and they both looked a little excited Well, the main thing was to see the confrontation between Wang Dalin and Duncan. First of all, Smith started to ask: "Charles, if you had to choose one player to be the cornerstone of the team, who would you choose?" Buckley thought for a while and said: "Of course I will choose Tim Darling, you should forgive me for making such a choice. I can't help it. Who said you are still too young now? Hahaha" Smith smiled and said: "Charles, you don't need to blame yourself."Wang Dalin also had 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. After replacing Williams, Wang Dalin moved to the fourth position. Originally, he thought he could directly face off with Duncan, but "Deng Daidai" directly moved to the fifth position There is no way, the Spurs can really play. The only center is David Robinson. As long as he takes a break, Duncan has to assume the center position. The Pistons are facing Duncan at this time with Okur, who is about the same height and weight as Duncan, and his defensive skills are very good, much better than Boozer's defense against Duncan. The player facing Wang Dalin is Danny Ferry. He is two months older than Robinson of the Pistons. He is obviously about to retire this season, so the Spurs are not really defending Wang Dalin. But Bowen. If Wang Dalin is the most traditional inside player in this era, no matter whether he plays the fourth or fifth position, it is impossible for the old thief Bobo to arrange a swingman like Bowen to defend him, but who can let him Most of the offense is launched from beyond the three-point line? There is no wayWang Dalin does not regard himself as an inside player at all. Even if he plays the fourth position, he only pays more attention to protecting the frame and grabbing rebounds on the defensive end. When attacking, he is still the highest small forward in the league! Bowen's defense against Wang Dalin was very tight, and he didn't dare to let Wang Dalin get a little space As the Spurs' leading perimeter defense expert, he knows all the perimeter offensive masters in the league. He knows deeply thatas long as Wang Dalin gets a little space, even for just a moment, his former teammate can directly pull up a jumper, and his height of only 201cm will become meaningless. Wang Dalin also had a headache. He had used "Double Change of Death" and "Super Six Double Change" in succession, but he still couldn't get rid of Bowen's entanglement. He even had to be particularly careful when dribbling, just in case something happened. If you don't pay attention, Bowen will steal the ball away After all, the opponent's center of gravity is much lower than him. Bowen is truly one of the best outside defenders in the league. He used his mad dog-like entanglement to actually block Wang Dalin from the outside. "Shit! We're running out of time!" Wang Dalin was a little anxious, so he dribbled behind his back and bumped Bowen with his butt, then turned around and hit a fadeaway jumper. Although he had already used the "Golden Rooster Independence" for this goal, he knew that this ball would probably not go in Sure enough, the basketball hit the basket and was taken away by Duncan. The Spurs still played a half-court offense, and Duncan didn't score despite Okur's defense Even if his name is Tim Duncan, his shooting percentage is over 50%, which is already very good. How can everyone All the goals were scored? Looking back, Wang Dalin once again reached the top of the three-point arc to catch the ball. This time, his dribbling breakthrough movement was obviously more rapid. He probably felt that he couldn't break through Bowen just relying on his skills and speed, so he simply used his strength to open the way. If we have to say that Bowen has any weaknesses on the defensive end, it is probably that his strength is a little bit worse If his strength is similar to Artest, he will probably be qualified to be elected as the best defensive player every year! With Bowen advancing to the three-second zone, Wang Dalin made an emergency stop and made a straight shot The ball bounced on the basket twice and finally fell in. The basketball did fall into the basket, but when Wang Dalin landed, he felt that his right foot was being padded It was Bowen! Who else could it be but him? Although Wang Dalin has obtained the "Copper Skin and Iron Bone Badge", of course he doesn't have to worry about being injured, but the pain he should feel is still there Ugh, it really hurts! The sudden severe pain made Wang Dalin cry out, and he immediately fell to the floor. At the moment he fell to the ground, Wang Dalin had only one thought in his mind - "Bowen, you are so desperate! You even care about me, right?" In the three-second zone on the Spurs' side, a tall and strong white man had already rushed out, stepped forward and punched Bowen in the face "How dare you step in, I will destroy you first!" "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 207 Never anger Darling-Wang ?? Ben was not on the court, so of course it was not him who rushed up and punched Bowen in the face, but the Pistons' backup center Memit Okur! Maybe many people will always be impressed by his precise three-pointers when talking about Okur. In fact, in addition to being good at long-range shots, this guy is also good at interior defense. And in that era full of muscle collisions, good interior defense probably meant a tough style of play I guess my temper wasn't much better either! Although Wang Dalin is polite to everyone in the Pistons, he seems to be a good old man without any dignity, in fact, his teammates respect him as the boss of the team. Especially Boozer and Okur, who just joined the team this summer. Wang Dalin usually takes good care of them. Not only has he repeatedly discouraged the veterans of the team from asking them to buy donuts and other childish behaviors, but he also often trains. Provide them with targeted guidance from time to time. It¡¯s not an exaggeration at all Now Wang Dalin¡¯s bag is carried by Boozer and Okur! So when Okur punched Bowen in the face, Boozer had already broken free from Danny Ferry, rushed over and punched Bowen again in the face, knocking him down. On the ground. "Dudududu" Of course, the Spurs players were unconvinced and were about to fight Boozer and Okur. The referees blew their whistles and ran over to force them apart. Williams carefully helped Wang Dalin stand up and asked with worry: "Darling, how does your ankle feel?" After all, Wang Dalin had the "Copper Skin and Iron Bone Badge" to protect his body. The pain when his feet were stepped on was so painful that he almost died on the spot. However, he lay on the ground for a while and the pain was no longer there, so he raised his legs and shook them. He smiled twice and said, "It's okay now!" Duncan and other Spurs players were immediately shocked, especially Duncan. He was the closest just now, so he could see it very clearly. He clearly saw that when Wang Dalin's right foot landed on Bowen's instep the entire ankle was completely twisted at 90 degrees. How could it not be injured? How unscientific is this? At this moment, Bowen was even more shocked. He bet that the step just now was definitely successful, but Wang Dalin was intact so quickly. Isn't this too fantasy? But he had no time to be surprised, because the referee called him a second-level flagrant foul and he was directly ejected. Of course Okur and Boozer, who were beaten by the Pistons just now, didn't get any favors either. They each took a hit and were also ejected. Seeing that Okur and Boozer still looked angry, Wang Dalin patted them on the shoulders and said with a smile: "You two go back to the locker room first and see how I deal with them!" Boozer and Okur nodded, turned and walked towards the player tunnel Well, after all, these two are newbies now, so they are still very obedient! Bowen also covered his face and walked towards the player tunnel. When he passed by Wang Dalin, he lowered his head subconsciously It seemed that he was still a little guilty for stepping on Wang Dalin, right? What are the figures of Okur and Boozer? "One is 206cm, the other is 211cm, both weighing more than 110kg Their fists are not light. Bowen's face was obviously swollen after receiving such two heavy punches. But Wang Dalin also admires this guy. He was punched by Okur and Boozer, and he was still conscious and walked back to the locker room. His ability to resist beatings is really good! In the TNT live broadcast room, Barkley looked at Smith and smiled evilly: "Kenny, you'd better be mentally prepared, because I think you are going to lose again tonight!" Smith laughed out loud: "How is this possible? Don't you have eyes? Now the Pistons have been sent off two main rotation players, and the Spurs have only lost one Bruce. It seems that the Spurs have the upper hand, right?" Barkley laughed: "Do you really think so? Look at Darling King's expression. It's obvious that he is about to get angry Well, I really sympathize with these Spurs players who are still on the court. Bruce tonight Clearly pissed off someone he should never mess with!" Smith said in confusion: "How do you know that Darling King is going to go crazy? Look isn't he smiling?" Buckley smiled and said: "This is because you don't know Darling well enough! He is my good brother, so I know that the angrier he is, the brighter his smile will be Well, just like now!" Smith couldn't help laughing and said: "Is he your good brother? As far as I know, it seems that someone won a championship because he hugged someone else's lap So after all, he should be considered your boss, right? " &nbs?Milton paused briefly after catching the ball, then immediately jumped up and shot. "Wusheng's" defensive strength is of course undoubted, but at this moment he is also unable to do anything and can only watch Hamilton succeed in shooting near the free throw line. After all, the task Popovich gave him was to defend Wang Dalin, not Hamilton! ¡°It¡¯s okay, this ball is mine, let¡¯s try to get a better chance of success!¡± When his teammates looked a little frustrated, Duncan returned to his own half, clapped his hands, gave words of encouragement, and touched everyone on the head. Wang Dalin narrowed his eyes after seeing it Wang Dalin was very clear about the power of Duncan's "Touch the Head" move, but according to the explanation given in the system, this move should only affect one teammate in each game. . But Duncan touched all four teammates on the court Damn it, who did your "touch your head" affect? In the next attack, Wang Dalin knew who it was working on, because Parker accelerated past Alston and then rushed to the basket for a layup. Wang Dalin had come over in time to help defend, but Parker's layup was too fast His shot-blocking was just a little bit off. Although Parker is only 185cm tall and has little strength, his main offensive method is to finish at the basketand his shooting rate is quite good! Carlisle couldn't help but touch his forehead on the sidelines. It seemed that he had a headache for Parker. The main point guard of the Pistons tonight is Alston. His speed can barely compare with Parker. However, his defensive strength is indeed limited and he basically cannot guard against a speedy point guard like Parker who focuses on breakthroughs. . Carlisle¡¯s headache is not this, but Even if McGinnis is not injured, with his height of 193cm, I am afraid he will be beaten worse by Parker¡¯s breakthrough, right? It has to be said that everything about the Pistons' lineup is currently good, but they lack a defensive master at the one position, especially someone who can guard against fast small guards. So when the Pistons dribbled forward, Carlisle specifically shouted to Wang Dalin from the sidelines: "Darling, you and Ben will help Rafe defend more later, don't let Tony burst in!" Wang Dalin nodded at him and said, "Okay!" His main concern now is not Parker's breakthrough, but how he should attack. When you always have a defensive warrior at the level of a "Martial Saint" by your side, and a help-defense expert like Duncan pops up at any time to double-team you, it is estimated that even Jordan at the peak of his form would not be able to Will you feel relaxed? The defensive strategy arranged by Popovich is actually man-to-man plus zone defense, which is similar to the Pistons' "hybrid zone defense." However, the Pistons' "mixed zone defense" is obviously more focused on "zone defense", while the Spurs' defensive strategy is still more focused on "man-to-man". Wang Dalin held the ball on the outside and observed it for a while, and finally saw the flaw in the Spurs' defensive strategy Since you are just "man-to-man" in the "pseudo zone defense", then can't I just play the pick-and-roll? If it were the pick-and-roll that the Jazz used in the past, the Spurs would definitely be able to defend them very awkwardly using this defensive tactic, because neither Malone nor Stockton are good at shooting three-pointers, but Wang Dalin is the best at it in the league. Someone who shoots three-pointers. If it is a three-pointer from an open position, Wang Dalin is not sure that he is the most accurate person in the league, but if he is attacking with the ball, his three-pointers are more accurate than anyone else because he is a master of these three-pointers. The tallest one! With his height, as long as his teammates help block him, he can immediately open up the space and shoot a three-pointer. Unless his own touch is not online, who can defend this kind of offense? Just a dozen years later, the guy who looked like a primary school student frequently used this trick to score points on the court His height was still only 191cm. How unsolvable would it be if it were changed to 211cm? So the Spurs were in trouble In the second half of the second quarter, Wang Dalin used the pick-and-roll to make 5 of 7 shots from beyond the three-point line, which directly confused the Spurs players and Popovich. The Spurs still rely on Duncan to attack inside, but since Wang Dalin came to guard him, his offensive efficiency has obviously dropped a lot compared to the first quarter. At halftime, the Pistons led the Spurs by 10 points, 58:48. Wang Dalin scored 33 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block by himself, almost single-handedly suppressing the Spurs team. Barkley couldn't help but laugh: "This time I think everyone in the league will learn a lesson from this game Never try to anger Darling King, otherwise you will definitely die miserably!" Smith hurriedly said: "There is still the second half, don't say it too early!" Barkley smiled and said: "Is there still a second half? Then the Spurs will die even more miserably!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Angry King Darling, otherwise you will definitely die miserably! " Smith hurriedly said: "There is still the second half, don't say it too early!" Barkley smiled and said: "Is there still a second half? Then the Spurs will die even more miserably!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 208 Duncan also lost, who else can win against Darling King? ?? The seemingly small circle of NBA is actually a river and lake Since it is a river and lake, there are different levels of status in the river and lake. For example, Rajon Rondo, who later joined the league for the first time, provoked Kobe during a game against the Lakers. Kobe pointed at his nose and spat at him. I believe many people know that Rondo has a bad temper. He once fought with Chris Paul during a game, causing Paul's nose to bleed. However, he did not dare to be disrespectful when facing Kobe. The next two people quickly separated. This is Kobe, why not try a player with a lower seniority? "Director Long"'s fists are not vegetarian! Another example is O'Neal. After retiring, he became a commentator on TNT TV station and would often go to the sidelines to watch games. So he also went to a game between the Thunder and the Spurs. Before the game, Danny Green, Kevin Durant and Tim Duncan walked to the sidelines to say hello to O'Neal. When facing Green and Durant, O'Neal sat on the chair and shook hands with them. When Duncan came over, O'Neal immediately stood up, shook hands and hugged Duncan cordially. From this detail alone, you can see how much O'Neal respects Duncan. He obviously regards Duncan as a superstar of equal status to himself. In fact, Duncan should certainly be regarded as O'Neal's "junior". He entered the NBA five years later than O'Neal, but this does not affect his historical status. When a player can win 5 championships, 3 FMVPs, and 2 MVPs, he is enough for everyone to not take it lightly. Therefore, even though the Pistons led the Spurs by a full 10 points in the first half, Wang Dalin still did not dare to take it lightly, because there was still that terrifying "Stone Buddha" in the Spurs team! Even though Wang Dalin is a very senior fan, he knows Duncan very well, but if you ask him to tell you what makes Duncan so good, he can't tell you why. Yes, everyone knows that Duncan is great, and is even recognized as the number one power forward in NBA history, but in what aspect is he great? Is Duncan¡¯s shooting accurate? His career field goal percentage is 50.6%. As a tall inside player, he can only be regarded as good, but he really cannot be regarded as the top player in history. If you don¡¯t believe it, we can look at the shooting percentages of some of the top inside players in history - Wilt Chamberlain 54%, "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 55.9%, Shaquille O'Neal 58.2% Even Yao Ming, his career shooting The hit rate is also 52.4%! So is Duncan a good rebounder? He has never won the rebounding title once in his career, so there should be no need to say more, right? Is Duncan¡¯s defense strong? There is no doubt that Duncan's defensive strength must be at a historical level, because he has been selected to the All-Defensive First Team 8 times and the All-Defensive Second Team 7 times. But to say that his defensive level is the best in historyit seems that there is still a hard indicator missing. After all, he has never won the best defensive player once! Sowhy does everyone think Duncan is strong? Wang Dalin has only one explanation for thisDuncan is like Yang Guo's Black Iron Sword Technique. On the surface, it seems inconspicuous, but in fact, it is powerful enough to crack stone monuments! Heavy swords are not forward, and you are not working Duncan is such a player! When you carefully analyze all his skills, you will find that he is not the best in every aspect, but every aspect is enough to rank at the forefront of the entire league! If you have to ask what exactly is Duncan so good at? Wang Dalin will tell youDuncan is amazing in every aspect! In the original history, Duncan was the only team leader in the 21st century who could lead the team to win the championship with a single core Well, it was just this season if Wang Dalin didn't interfere! And as a player who can lead a team to win championships with a single corehow could he not be strong? Sure enough, in the second half of the game, Duncan finally started to exert his strength. Facing Wang Dalin's defense, his inside attack does not take much advantage, but he can also attack by hitting mid-range shots at 45 degrees from both sides. Wang Dalin's mid-range shot is almost impossible to solve, because he has the tallest figure among the three positions in the league Duncan is similar in size to him, and it is equally unsolvable to suddenly make a mid-range shot in this position, even if Wang Dalin personally defends him. The effect is not very good either. And when he made two mid-range shots, Wang Dalin's defense became even more difficult, because his ultimate goal was to put Wang Dalin in a dilemma on the defensive end When youWhen he had 10 rebounds and 11 assists, the entire North American sports world was shocked by him. It¡¯s only January 25, 2003 Is it really okay to produce such abnormal data? Just after the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Barkley couldn't wait to take off the glittering championship ring from Smith's hand and said proudly: "Darling scored an unprecedented triple-double tonight. You kid should be convinced that you lost, right?" Smith nodded and said: "No problem I am indeed convinced that I lost! But Charles, I want to ask now Tim played so well tonight and still lost, who else can win the Darling - King?" Buckley laughed loudly and said: "No one can win the Darling King!" Smith said with a somewhat horrified expression: "This means In addition to breaking the historical winning streak record this year, the Pistons are also likely to break another record which is the Bulls' 72-win record!" Barkley was stunned for a moment and murmured for a long time: "No way? Are the Pistons really that strong now?" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 209 Jordan, I¡¯ll give you the starting spot! ?? At the post-game press conference, when a reporter asked Duncan a question, he first congratulated him on getting his first career 40+ triple-double. Duncan immediately interrupted the reporter with a wry smile on his face: "What's there to congratulate for a 40+ triple-double? Darling Wang scored a 60+ triple-double tonight. Should I think you are doing it deliberately?" Are you mocking me?" It¡¯s hard to imagine that the ¡°Stone Buddha¡±, who is always known for his calmness, would actually say such a thing? Obviously, Duncan is really a little angry In fact, he is not really angry because of the reporter's words, but he has already felt that the Spurs' current strength is obviously insufficient. Even if they can break through the Western Conference powers and reach the finals, he will not be angry. If he goes to the Pistons, he also thinks that the Spurs have almost no hope of winning! If the original historical script is followed, the Spurs will win the second championship in team history this season, but the current situation is it is completely meaningless to just defeat the powerful Western Conference, because the Pistons in the Eastern Conference are the best in the league. The most despairing super hero! The sudden emergence of Wang Dalin put all head coaches in the league into an extremely embarrassing situation, even experienced tacticians like Popovich. In fact, it is very simple to defeat the Pistons, as long as someone in your team can restrict Wang Dalin! But, who can restrain Wang Dalin? There was an invincible Michael Jordan in the league before. Finally, this guy finally got old, and the "big shark" grew up again! Although O'Neal has absolute dominance, he still has a weakness in free throws Where is Wang Dalin? What are his weaknesses? After the third season of his career, Wang Dalin's personal offense has become perfect. He can launch attacks from beyond the three-point line. It can even be said that he is within his shooting range as soon as the half-court is over. The most important thing is that he can attack from outside the three-point line. But he also has a height of 6 feet 11 inches! It must be explained here that since the Pistons won the championship last season, many head coaches have jointly complained to the league, forcing the league to re-measure the height, weight and wingspan of all players. David Stern did this in September last year. Yue arranged for people to do this. So starting from the 2002-2003 season, lying about height will no longer occur in the league! For a time, many players who lied about their heights have revealed their true colors, such as Pistons¡¯ main center Ben Wallace. After he was measured, he found out that his barefoot height was only 199cm, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel embarrassed. Can you not be embarrassed? As a center, he is actually a little shorter than Hamilton, who plays shooting guard. He is the only scorpion in the league! Another embarrassing person is Kevin Garnett. His barefoot height is actually 213cm Actually, people are not that surprised. This is already known to everyone in the league. Wang Dalin¡¯s naked foot height of 211cm finally couldn¡¯t be hidden, and he didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. Anyway, everyone knew that he was definitely more than 206cm. But this makes the head coaches of each team even more depressed I'm sorry, you have the height of a center, the speed and skills of a swingman, and you can shoot accurately. How do you want us to play? This is the most buggy side of players like Kevin Durant He can be so unsolvable in the small ball era of later generations. Isn't it even more terrifying in the early 21st century? After allthis is an era when the entire league does not pay special attention to three-pointers! Just after the Pistons won the championship last season, Wang Dalin heard that Kobe Bryant hadn¡¯t gone anywhere during the entire offseason and had been hiding in Los Angeles and training hard behind closed doors He didn¡¯t practice anything else and used almost all his energy. On three-pointers, even mid-range fadeaway jumpers were left behind by him! Some people say this is wrong? Not to mention this era, even in the later small ball era, didn't Leonard prove to the world that the mid-range is the killer weapon in the playoffs? If the three-pointer is so powerful, why couldn't Curry lead the Warriors to the playoffs after Durant left? Some friends may have overlooked one thingIs Leonard's three-point shooting poor? If he is not intimidating enough from beyond the three-point line, how come he has so many opportunities to shoot mid-range jumpers? Many things must be viewed dialectically I guess no one can give a standard answer as to which is more important, the three-point shot or the mid-range shot. However, in the small ball era of later generations, if a player does not have the ability to shoot three-pointers, even if he hits No matter how accurate the shot is, it is impossible to lead the team to win the championship! (Lao Wang can boldly predict that this year's NBA championship will be the Suns Chris Paul is indeed the league's mid-range shooting king, but heBefore they sat down and took a sip of coffee, Stern asked them straight to the point. Tatum and Joke looked at each other and almost said in unison: "Let Michael be in the starting lineup!" Stern nodded with a smile on his face: "Well, let's do it this way and make this decision official immediately!" Just when the two stood up and wanted to leave, Stern stopped Tatum. Joke gave Tatum a deep look and left the office with a somewhat unwilling expression. "Mark, I left you here to tell you something else!" "Sir, if you have anything to say, please just tell me." "Okay, according to my opinion, our MVP selection this season should be more fair" "Sir, I understand what you mean! Don't worry, I will take care of this!" "Well, I always feel at ease when you do things. Just go ahead and do it boldly. All resources of the alliance will be allocated by you. I hope the result will be good!" "Yes, sir!" ¡­¡­ At 20:00 on the evening of February 7, the league's official website suddenly announced a piece of news - Eastern All-Star starting forward Wang Dalin entered the substitute lineup, and Jordan entered the starting lineup! Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but smile when he heard the news It seems that the trick of forcing the palace is still effective. Stern is indeed the far-sighted old Jewish man in his memory! In fact, he didn¡¯t know that just after David Stern arranged for Jordan to replace him in the All-Star starting position, he also made an arrangement that was extremely beneficial to him. Sometimes if you give up a sesame seed, it is really possible to pick up a big watermelon! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 210 Beauty, are you chasing your husband thousands of miles away or chasing your husband thousands of miles away? ?? On the evening of February 8, this season¡¯s All-Star Weekend rookie competition started as scheduled at the ¡°Phillips Arena¡± in Atlanta. Yao Ming originally wanted to withdraw from this rookie competition, but Wang Dalin called him and persuaded him that he should devote more energy to the rookie competition, because the All-Star Game will never be a stage for centers. , even a fierce player like O'Neal can only rely on tricks to attract attention in the All-Star Game. Yao Ming obviously listened to Wang Dalin's words, so he did not choose to withdraw from the rookie competition, and performed very well in the game Well, facing a group of second-year opponents, Yao Ming was still very strong. ! Since Gilbert Arenas was injured for the season after joining the Wizards (here is a plot kill), the strength of this second-year team has been greatly affected. They struggled against the first-year rookies. , only Jason Richardson of the Warriors can continue to score points from inside and outside shots. I have to say that Yao Ming's teammate is indeed very good. Not only does he have super athletic ability comparable to Carter, but his mid-range shooting is also becoming more and more accurate. Currently, he is the team's leading scorer in the Warriors. Averaged 19.7 points per game. In addition to Yao Ming's outstanding performance on the first-year team, Amar'e Stoudemire, known as the "little bully", also began to perform various dunks. His impact made the second-year team's center Tai Sen. Chandler suddenly became concerned about one thing and not the other. With Chandler's size and athletic ability, he should be very effective in defending Stoudemire, but since it's the All-Star weekend here, it's impossible to defend every ball very seriously; secondly, if he frequently assists If Stoudemire is guarded, Yao Ming can reach the mid-range to catch and shoot. As Yao Ming has gradually become famous, the entire league now knows that this young center has quite good shooting ability Among people over 213cm tall, except for Nowitzki and Garnett, who else dares to compete with Yao Ming? Than shooting? During this period, the rookie competition still adopted a game format of 20 minutes in each half. At the end of the first half, the first-grade team temporarily led the second-grade team 62:58. In the second half, the players of the second-grade team finally showed their advantage in experience and began to play various exquisite coordination. Jason Richardson's outside line The offense finally activated the most powerful offensive insider in their team - Pau Gasol! The young "sister-in-law" is able to play both inside and outside, and can still play with ease under Yao Ming's defense. Moreover, he also has exquisite passing skills and can often send wonderful passes to his teammates. In addition to continuing to focus on Yao Ming, the first-year team's offensive strength, they also take more shots from mid-to-long range. Carlos Boozer and Memit Okur from the Pistons are two top-notch shooting players. Post players in particular performed well. The scores of both sides kept rising alternately until the last moment of the game, when Yao Ming stormed under the basket and caused a foul on Chandler's beater. After Yao Ming hit the extra free throw, the first-grade team led by 2 points, with 6 seconds left in the game. At this moment, Jason Richardson stepped forward again and made a winning three-pointer under extremely difficult circumstances. At 121:120, the second-year team defeated the first-year "juniors" in a thrilling manner. Both sides presented an extremely exciting offensive and defensive performance to the audience. Jason Richardson made 13 of 21 shots and scored 32 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and won the MVP of this year's rookie competition. Yao Ming made 11 of 19 shots from the field, plus 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 27 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists He was the best player on the first-year team, but it was a pity that they failed to win, otherwise he would have been the MVP. belongs! What followed was a 3v3 star competition. Wang Dalin was not very interested in it, so he got up and went outside to buy some popcorn and "Gatorade." As soon as he paid the money, he saw a familiar figure not far away. After being surprised, he couldn't help but smile, and then walked over with the popcorn and drinks he just bought. "Zilin, why are you here?" Wang Dalin walked up behind the tall girl, suddenly tapped her on the shoulder, and then jumped in front of her. To be honest, Wang Dalin was really surprised that Zhang Zilin would appear in Atlanta at this time. According to the original history, shouldn't she be studying at the University of Science and Technology Beijing? ¡°As expected of the original Miss World champion in history, Zhang Zilin looks particularly youthful and beautiful even if she only wears a simple denim suit. Zhang Zilin's hair is slightly longer than the last time we met in Shanghai. Now she has shawl-long hair, which is exactly what later generations would call "black, long and straight." Coupled with her exquisite facial features, at first glance, she does look a bit like " The elf princess in Lord of the Rings. "Huh? Dalin isSaid: "This girl is really beautiful By the way, she seems to be very tall. Could she be Darling King's sister?" Buckley smiled and said: "The fact that you can say this means that you know very little about Darling! He is the only son of Darling's parents. Where did he get his sister?" Smith was still unconvinced and said: "What if it's a cousin?" Buckley smiled and said: "I can tell you very clearly - Darling has no cousin or cousin. Now you should be able to confirm that this girl is his girlfriend, right?" Smith thought for a moment and had to say: "It seems that this is really the only possibility!" Buckley smiled and said: "This is the only possibility Hey, Darling has really good vision. This girl is so beautiful!" As soon as the two of them sang together, they immediately confirmed Zhang Zilin¡¯s identity¡ªDarling Wang¡¯s girlfriend! ¡­¡­ At the same time, thousands of miles away on the other side of the ocean. Liu Xiang finally had no training scheduled today, so he was bored watching TV at home. He just switched to CCTV Sports Channel and saw this scene within a few minutes. Director Zhang¡¯s explanation came from the TV¡ª¡ª "The girl we saw sitting next to Dalin was called Zhang Zilin. She used to be an outstanding junior female hurdler in our country. She once achieved very good results in national competitions, but I heard that she later chose to enter the Beijing Film Academy. If you study acting, you may become a new generation of movie stars in the future!" "We don't know why she is sitting next to Dalin. I guess they are very good friends!" As a commentator for CCTV Sports Channel, although Director Zhang was 100% sure that Zhang Zilin was Wang Dalin¡¯s little girlfriend, he did not dare to talk nonsense during the live broadcast. He could only explain to the audience as "a very good friend". But who is Liu Xiang? He was Zhang Zilin¡¯s senior brother back then, so how could he not know that his junior junior sister was Wang Dalin¡¯s crush all along? Although he has competed everywhere in the past two years and has had little contact with Zhang Zilin, he is still paying attention to his junior sister silently. He even knows about her admission to Beijing Film Academy and her participation in the model competition. So at this moment, Liu Xiang, who had just broken the world youth record in the men's 110-meter hurdles in July last year, was surprised and couldn't help but sigh - "Little junior sister, do you think you, a beautiful woman like you, can be a little more reserved" Are you chasing your husband thousands of miles away or chasing your husband thousands of miles away?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 211 Invitation from Jordan ?? Early in the morning on February 9th, David Stern came to his office on time at 9 o'clock as usual It stands to reason that he would have to fly to Atlanta at noon today, and he could sleep in at home, but he obviously I will not change my life and work habits because of this. After arriving at the office, he first took a sip of the steaming coffee, then picked up the newspaper on the table, and then "pop", he sprayed the coffee as if he was spraying a mouthful of old blood. "This Darling King is too good at causing trouble, isn't he?" Stern couldn't help but said to himself. On the coffee-stained newspaper in his hand, the headline on the front page read in big words - "Darling Wang and his rumored girlfriend make a surprise appearance at the All-Star Weekend"! "Good morning, sir, can I come in?" A voice came from the door. Stern looked up and saw that it was Mark Tatum, so he waved: "Come in quickly!" "It seems you already know!" Seeing Tatum holding the same newspaper in his hand, Stern frowned and said, "This kid is making such a big noise now, do you think he will have an impact when the time comes? Until Michael¡¯s all-star farewell performance tonight?¡± Tatum walked into the office and sat on the sofa. He smiled slightly and said, "Sir, you can rest assured that Darling-Wang is a young man who knows how to advance and retreat. He will not overwhelm others This has been true since he took the initiative to give up his seat to Michael." You can tell." Stern's brows relaxed slightly: "I hope so By the way, have the halftime sessions been arranged for tonight?" Tatum smiled and said: "It has been arranged, but" "But what?" Stern asked. Tatum smiled and said: "Now I just have some objections to the arrangement of the camera during Michael's speech during the midfield session I think it is not appropriate for the camera to be pointed at Kobe Bryant." "Huh?" Stern frowned slightly again, "In your opinion, who should the camera be aimed at?" Tatum smiled and said: "I think it should be King Darling!" Stern thought for a moment and said in a noncommittal tone: "Tell me your reasons." Tatum smiled and said: "Since Michael retired last time, the league has been in a state of competition. Among the many strong players, only four people have stood out, namely Shaquille O'Neal, Allen Iverson, and Tim Duncan. And Kobe Bryant, sir, it was normal for you to choose Kobe before, because he was the youngest among these people, but now that Darling King has suddenly emerged, the situation is different" Stern nodded and said: "Yes, Darling King has indeed gained momentum in the past two years, and he is younger, but he also has his own limitations Well, go on!" Tatum nodded and said: "Yes, Darling King does have his limitations. First of all, he is Chinese, and it is very difficult for North American fans to accept him; secondly, his sports brand endorsements are also Chinese brands," Nike', 'Adidas' and the like will not like himbut the strength he has shown has gradually changed this situation!" Stern nodded silently and smiled: "Yesand his sneaker endorsement contract will expire at the end of June this year. I guess Nike and Adidas don't want to offend this potential big customer, right?" Tatum continued: "The most important reason why I value him is his unparalleled potential Maybe everyone has seen Darling King's phenomenal performance this season, but I think he is far from it. Reaching his peak Comprehensive evaluation, he is no longer below Kobe, and will definitely surpass Kobe in the future And he is still the leader of the team, so compared with Kobe, I think the 'Jordan successor' The title should belong to King Darling!" Stern fell into deep thought after listening, and Tatum was also very sensible. He picked up his coffee and took a few sips, silently waiting for the boss to make the final decision. Finally, Stern raised his head and said: "Okay, just do what you wantjust give me the language for the camera, don't be too deliberate!" Tatum stood up and said, "Don't worry, I'll do it right away!" Stern suddenly stopped him and said: "By the way, you send someone to warn this kid Darling Wang It's okay to fall in love, but you can't delay training because of falling in love, and you have to choose the right time. Tonight is It belongs to Michael and no one can change that!¡± Tatum nodded and said, "Yes, I will arrange it!" Stern smiled and said: "Go ahead, I'm very relieved that you can do things!" Tatum nodded and left the office immediately. Stern sat down again; In fact, the main reason is because of Wang Dalin's appearance. Maybe he himself doesn't know that his popularity is already so high In the last show, when Wang Dalin and Zhang Zilin walked side by side to the front of the catwalk, thousands of people watching the scene shouted in unison: "kisskisskiss" This scene was very similar to the scene in the arena last night. Zhang Zilin couldn't help but blush, and Wang Dalin also felt his face was a little hot. Originally, according to the prescribed action, Wang Dalin had to hug Zhang Zilin's waist, and then Zhang Zilin put on a pose similar to that of a little bird, but the two of them were so shy that they forgot about it At 20:00 that night, the All-Star Game finally arrived as scheduled. When Jordan made his debut, the entire audience stood up and applauded him. The applause was so long that the opening whistle was delayed by a full minute. When jumping the ball, Ben also tried his best to beat Yao Ming. Then McGrady dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Jordan as soon as possible. As expected, Kobe posted it. The "Black Mamba" was trying his best to show off all his abilities in Jordan's last All-Star Game He didn't want to humiliate Jordan, but he wanted to use this This is a way to give Jordan the greatest respect. And Jordan did not back down. He took two steps with his back, turned around and immediately hit a fadeaway jumper. Under Kobe's close defense, he hit the first goal of this All-Star Game (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel. com Chapter 213 The perfect curtain call performance ?? ¡°There is a hero¡­ If you search deep within yourself¡­ you don¡¯t have to worry about finding out who you are¡­ the answer will be obvious¡­ When you reach the depths of your own soul¡­ all the sadness you know will be dissipate¡­¡­" "Then your inner hero will appear, he will give you strength and go with you You can easily shake off the fear and you know very well that you are the ultimate winner When you feel that hope is lost When the time comes, please face yourself and learn to be strong You will know the truth In fact, you are your own hero" "Self-awakening is a difficult and long road When you face the world alone no one will lend a helping hand to you You just haven't discovered In fact, you are full of the power of love If As you patrol yourself, the emptiness you feel will disappear" "You will see the hero slowly walking towards you, he will give you strength and go forward with you You will find that you are no longer afraid You will know that you can overcome everything So when you feel that life is lost Color Please face yourself and learn to be strong You will eventually discover this fact You are your own hero" "God also knows that dreams are far away The road to realizing dreams is always full of ups and downs But don't let anyone or anything tear up your dreams and stop you Please continue to hold on Hope is still there You have to believe You will eventually find the right path with strength" "You will be fearless and you will know that you are the ultimate king So when you lose your spiritual support please calm down and reflect carefully and rise again Finally you will see it become a reality The hero is Within you!¡± "The hero is within you!" "The hero is within you!" After Mariah Carey came on the stage, she sang "Hero" majestic and tear-jerking. Jordan, who was standing on the side of the court, couldn't help but burst into tears. At this moment, it was obvious that he was really emotional. Immediately afterwards, Mariah Carey invited Jordan to the center of the court on behalf of the audience. After getting the microphone, Jordan first wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then began his speech¡ª¡ª "Thank youthank you everyonethank you everyonethank you everyone" "What I must say can be compared with you, my former teammates, my former opponents and my current opponents" "I would like to thank my family for being by my side over the years and allowing me to follow my dream of playing basketball. For all the fans who support basketball, not just for supporting me, Michael Jordan!" "I want to thank you again for your support. When I leave, the NBA can still have a good handover There are many great stars appearing here, and there will be many great stars appearing in the future" "I've carried the torch from great stars like Julius Erving, Earvin Johnson and Larry Birdand now I'm passing the torch on to these current stars and others who are playing in the NBA. Players!¡± "Thank you for your support, now I can go home" "I feel very reassured about the future of the NBAThank you all!" When Jordan said, "Now I pass this torch to these stars now," the on-site director switched the camera in time, and everyone in front of the TV saw the person in the middle of the screen not Kobe, But Wang Dalin! This scene is not long, only about three seconds, but familiar fans know Originally the protagonist of this scene was Kobe, but in this life it was replaced by Wang Dalin. The meaning of this is probably not only It¡¯s just a lens language This is what David Stern approved This obviously represents the attitude of the league. Next, they will support Wang Dalin, just like they originally supported Kobe. The audience at the scene may not have so many feelings, because when Jordan gave his speech, their eyes were focused on the "God of Basketball" who was about to retire, and they did not pay too much attention to Wang Dalin. When Jordan finished his speech and walked back to his teammates in the Eastern Conference, Wang Dalin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What you just said was really good!" Jordan smiled slightly and said: "No matter how well I speak, it's useless. If I lose tonight, my halftime speech will become a joke!" Iverson smiled and said: "Michael, don't worry, we all support you!" Tracy McGrady, Big Ben, Hamilton, Kidd, Pierce and others also expressed that they would go all out to support Jordan. The players of the Eastern Star Team are now united as never before. They just want to win tonight's game and let Jordan win the AMVP. Trophy. At the beginning of the second half, the Eastern ConferenceStrength value: 99¡± "Assembly skills: Blinded by a Leaf (Level A), McGrady pull-up (Level S), Touch your head (Level S), Aldridge's behind-the-back shot (Level A), Golden Rooster Independence (Level S), Roar of the Wolf King (Level A), Bilateral Death (Level A), Super Six Double Changes (Level A), Snake Breakthrough (Level A), Golden Bell Drop (Level A), Malone Iron Elbow (Level A), Glove Steal (Level A) Level a)¡± "Special badges: Copper Skin and Iron Bone Badge (Injury Free), Strongest Second Player Badge (Steals +5, Blocks +5, Passing Accuracy +5, Passing Vision +5, Offensive Rebounds +5, Defensive Rebounds +5 .)¡± "Special equipment: Blocking elbow pads (blocked shots +5), rebounding wrist pads (offensive rebounds +5, defensive rebounds +5)" "Comprehensive ability value: 92 (a+ level star)" "Note: The number outside the brackets is the host's current ability value, and the number inside the brackets is the upper limit of the corresponding ability value!" Looking at this, Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but feel very good Haha, the comprehensive ability value has increased by 1 point again! If this continues, is it possible to reach the level of an S-class superstar this season? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 214 Are the Pistons going crazy? After the All-Star Game, Wang Dalin didn't even attend the post-game press conference. He quickly took a shower and changed clothes and came out to meet Zhang Zilin Well, this game was exclusive to Jordan, and he didn't have to attend the post-game press conference. Press conference! "Li Ning" company's All-Star Weekend activities have ended, so Zhang Zilin and his model team will naturally return to China. On the night of February 9th, Wang Dalin and Zhang Zilin sat in a 24-hour dessert shop until about 2 o'clock in the morning Although they were both reluctant to leave, they could not avoid parting after all. At this time, the relationship between the young man and woman is very delicate If you say they are just friends, they seem to be much closer than friends. If you say they are lovers, it seems a little worse. If you could describe it in one word, it would probably be "Above AUO, but not yet a lover", right? Early the next morning, Zhang Zilin followed the model team on the plane back to China, while Wang Dalin flew back to Detroit with Ben and Hamilton. The two hurriedly met for the last time at the airport and then went their separate ways. Maybe it was because he had been holding back all his energy from "playing support" in the All-Star Game, or maybe he was unhappy after breaking up with Zhang Zilin On February 11, when the Pistons challenged the Bulls away from home, Wang Dalin was so excited , actually took 27 crazy shots, scored a huge triple-double of 42 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals, and also sent out a career-high 6 blocks. It wasn¡¯t until the end of the game that Wang Dalin discovered how significantly he had improved after receiving two special pieces of equipment and the ¡°Strongest Second Boss Badge¡±, especially his rebounding ability! Originally, his rebounding ability was not weak, but now his offensive rebounding and defensive rebounding abilities have improved by 10 points respectively, so that his defensive rebounding ability has now reached 87, and his offensive rebounding ability is as high as 92 Even compared to rebounding like Ben The madman is no different. The performance against the Bulls was not obvious enough. After all, he only played a little more than 32 minutes in total in this game He grabbed 13 rebounds in such a short period of time, including 5 offensive rebounds. This is outrageous! On February 13, the Pistons faced the Magic at home. Facing the strong challenge from McGrady at his peak, Wang Dalin not only performed well on the offensive end, but also took on the important task of defending McGrady on the defensive end. In the end, he made 10 of 18 shots from the field, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 31 points, 15 rebounds, 14 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. While breaking his own single-game rebound record, he also beat Tracy McGrady. Defended 13 of 31 shots. So even though McGrady scored a game-high 35 points and also sent out 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, the Magic could only swallow the bitter fruit of failure in Detroit. Immediately afterwards, the Pistons defeated the Bucks back-to-back on the evening of February 14, with a score of 96:112. Wang Dalin also continued his magical performance after the previous game with a large triple-double of 38 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 5 blocks. In January, Wang Dalin scored triple-doubles in 5 consecutive games. At that time, this feat was already hyped by the major media. In February, he scored 4 triple-doubles in 5 games, and Every time, it was at least a 30+ triple-double. How could reporters from major North American media sit still? They began to rush to report on Wang Dalin¡¯s magical performance, and predicted that he would most likely break the record of nine consecutive games with triple-doubles set by the ¡°ancient beast¡± Chamberlain. It¡¯s a pity that their predictions were quickly disappointed Wang Dalin "only scored" 29 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in the away game against the Cavaliers on February 16. It¡¯s not that Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t score better data, but the Cavaliers had already surrendered with more than 7 minutes left in the game. There is no way Wang Dalin would have the shamelessness to stay on the court during garbage time just to have a consecutive triple-double. Upload data? As of the end of the game on February 16, Wang Dalin averaged 30.78 points, 9.86 rebounds, 8.59 assists, 1.61 steals and 1.57 blocks per game. He currently ranks first in the scoring list and ranks first in the assists list. second. Wang Dalin¡¯s original goal was to go all out to win the mvp this season, but now the situation has changed. He feels that he is fully qualified to compete for the scoring and assist titles. McGrady currently ranks second on the scoring list, averaging 30.77 points per game, only 0.01 points lower than Wang Dalin. But Wang Dalin knows that McGrady will probably average 32.1 points per game this season, so 30.78 points is not very competitive, and he has to work harder to score points. ¡°The original assist king in time and space this season was Jason Kidd, who averaged only 8.9 assists per game This is probably the lowest assist king in the 21st century, right?Everyone scored, and the team's shooting percentage was as high as 52.3%. If Wang Dalin hadn't hit the game-killing three-pointer 5 seconds before the end of the game, and if Rasheed Wallace could have made the last three-pointer, the outcome of the game might have been completely different. . In the end, the Pistons narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers 106:103, further improving their record to 55 wins and 5 losses. On the night of March 2, after the game, all the Pistons soldiers flew back to Detroit overnight. The players were too tired during this period, so Carlisle did not arrange any training for the next two days. On the morning of March 3, the league officially announced the winners of the best players in the Eastern and Western Conferences for February, namely Wang Dalin from the Eastern Conference and Kevin Garnett from the Western Conference. The Timberwolves had the league's best record of 12 wins and 1 loss in February, and Garnett, the "Wolf King", took most of the credit. Just last month, Garnett averaged 40 minutes per game, scoring 27.7 points, 13.9 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.5 blocks. His shooting percentage was as high as 56.6%. His momentum not only topped the entire Western Conference, he was even better than Wang Dalin. Not much difference. However, Wang Dalin is still better. Not only did he lead the team to an 11-2 record in February, he also averaged 33.8 points, 12.3 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 2.2 steals, 2.6 blocks per game, shooting 55% from the field, and three-pointers. The shooting rate was 48% and the free throw shooting rate was 89.6%. If free throws can be a little more accurate, even if he scores one or two more free throws, Wang Dalin will be able to join the "180 Club" in February. And if he can have 3 more assists, he can average a triple-double per game! ???????????? Before that macho guy from later generations appeared, no one would have believed in averaging a triple-double per game, even though the ¡°Big O¡± had done it before, but what era was that? When the Pistons were heading towards the Bulls' 72-win record, the major media naturally heated up the topic. For a while, every team in the league couldn't help but exclaimed - "Darling King is crazy." ? Are the Pistons going crazy too?" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 215 The scariest season ending in history (an additional chapter for Rexxxx) "If someone told you before the start of this season that a team would break the Bulls' season-best record of 72 wins, you would have thought they were crazy. Even when the Pistons had a 34-game winning streak on January 10, few people thought they could break the Bulls' record. After all, the Lakers also had a 33-game winning streak in the 1970s in that league. In the "ancient times" when there were only 8 teams, they still failed to achieve this step. But when the games came one after another, especially when all the games ended in March, the Pistons still only lost 7 games More and more people began to talk about this topic. The Pistons only have 10 games in April. If they can only lose 2 games, they can break the Bulls' record of 72 wins They are really close, and this is not a joke! Moreover, Wang Dalin's personal performance in March was even better than that in February. He averaged 35 points, 12.5 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 1.9 steals, and 2.3 blocks per game, shooting 55.74% from the field, 47.97% from the three-point range, and 89.4% from the free throw line. . As this season gradually enters the final stage, Wang Dalin also begins to exert his strength. His goals for this season include regular season MVP, scoring title and assists title. If he wants to achieve this goal, he will inevitably have to "brush" If it weren't for the fact that the assist data in the first half of the season was a bit different, he would even want to brush it up. Averaging a triple-double per game! With such an outstanding performance, Wang Dalin of course won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in March He has won this award so far this season, and it can be said that he completely dominates the Eastern Conference. The best in the Western Conference in March was won by O'Neal. He led the team to an 11-5 record this month, averaging 31.6 points, 11 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.7 blocks and 0.7 steals per game. His field goal percentage was as high as 58.8%, and his free throw percentage was also as high as 58.8%. ¡°Up to¡± 64.7%. In this month, O'Neal's average number of free throws per game reached 12.6. Obviously when the "big shark" is making waves in the interior, the commonly used defensive method is still "cutting the shark"! The Pistons lost a total of 3 games in March. In addition to the loss to the Warriors on March 1, they also lost to the Celtics on March 15 and the Suns on March 28. These two games are both home games for the Pistons In fact, with the strength of the Pistons this season, it doesn't matter whether they are home or away, they are all the same anyway. There is one more game that the Pistons have to mention in March, which is a back-to-back away game against the New York Knicks on March 21. Wang Dalin had already made bold statements to New York reporters as early as the season opener. However, in addition to saying that as long as he was with the Knicks in the Eastern Conference, he would never enter the Finals, he also said that he would keep the Knicks clean this season. Before this game, the Pistons had defeated the Knicks three times this season, each time by a big score. The smallest point difference was 17 points. There was also a "58 tragedy" and a "57 tragedy". It can be said that the Pistons currently have only one real enemy in the league, and that is the Knicks! So when Wang Dalin and the others entered New York's "Madison Square Garden Arena", he thought they would be greeted by boos and curses from the audience. Who knew that this was not the case at all. Since Patrick Ewing¡¯s team failed to win the championship in the late 1990s, New York fans have gradually developed a strange habit, that is booing the home team! So Wang Dalin and the others felt as if they were playing at home, because the fans not only booed the home team, but also gradually started to cheer for the Pistons. Therefore, amidst the cheers of the "visiting fans", the Pistons played with great momentum. The team made 44 of 89 shots, including 17 of 36 three-pointers and 24 of 28 free throws. They won 129:97. The Knicks had 32 points. Together with the previous three victories, the Pistons' net victory over the Knicks this season has reached a terrifying 41 points If you don't look at the team names of the two teams, I am afraid many people will think that this is the Chinese team's abuse of food in Asia. Right? Wang Dalin made 19 of 31 shots from the field, including 8 of 13 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 51 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks As expected, he hit the Knicks hard! The schedule of the Pistons in April is actually very tight. They will play 10 games in 16 days. Three of them are back-to-back, and they are all back-to-backs with one away and one home. The players will definitely encounter extremely cruel conditions. physical test. With this in mind, Carlisle began taking a rest from the away game against the Raptors on April 1. The first ones to rest were Hamilton and Alston, who have maintained full attendance this season. Needless to say, Hamilton is not only the second scorer on the team, he has also basically secured his position as the "second leader" After all, Ben is just a blue-collar center with almost no offensive ability. Although his defense is first-rate, he can let He does twoWinning is easier to break than the record of 74 wins, right? Wang Dalin also performed well in the final game. He made 10 of 21 shots, including 5 of 11 three-pointers and 9 of 10 free throws. He scored 31 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. If he could hit the winning three-pointer with 1.9 seconds before the end of the game, the Pistons would have won 74 The final score between the two sides was 97:99, and the only difference was this three-pointer! After the game on April 16, the 2002-2003 NBA regular season finally settled, and the individual statistics of the regular season were immediately released. Wang Dalin got his wish and won the scoring and assist titles this season. He averaged 32.76 points, 10.99 rebounds, 8.99 assists, 1.77 steals and 1.85 blocks per game, as well as 2.6 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. In fact, just looking at the data in April, Wang Dalin's performance can be described as "unreasonable" He averaged 39.7 points, 13.3 rebounds, 10.7 assists, 2 steals and 2.4 blocks per game, shooting 54.5% from the field and 51.8% from the three-point range. The free throw percentage is 83.8%is there any other method? Is there any heavenly principle? If it weren¡¯t for the slight drop in free throw shooting due to fatigue at the end of the season, I¡¯m afraid Wang Dalin would have entered the ¡°180 Club¡± in April. Of course During this wave of "data brushing", Wang Dalin inevitably took more reluctant shots, so his overall shooting rate dropped slightly from March, but his three-point shooting rate was Improved a bit. This is probably because his three-point ability value has been increased to 91. On the surface, there seems to be no difference between 90 and 91 three-point ability, but in fact they represent two completely different levels In terms of star level, it is the difference between A level and A+ level! Moreover, the reason why Wang Dalin can shoot three-pointers so accurately, in addition to his high enough ability value, mainly relies on the blessing of the "Maddie Pull-Up" skill. Without this skill, which was the earliest S-level star, and him and this The perfect match between these skills His three-point shooting percentage can exceed 45%, which is already the limit! Being able to perform such an incredible performance, of course Wang Dalin won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for April. The Western Conference Player of the Month was awarded to Kevin Garnett, but he averaged 21 points, 15.4 rebounds, 8 assists, 1.3 steals and 2 blocks per game. In front of Wang Dalin, his data is nothing more than a younger brother! The season rebounding king was retained by Ben, but he only averaged 13.5 rebounds per game, slightly less than the original 15.4 in history After all, the Pistons have Wang Dalin, whose rebounding ability is increasing day by day, and Ben can still grab it. So many rebounds are already very strange. The block leader is Theo Ratliff of the Hawks. His average blocks per game is 3.23, which is only 0.08 times higher than Ben So time is also fate, if Ben can play more recklessly, Just like Marcus Camby, he will definitely continue to be the shot-blocking champion. The steal leader is Allen Iverson again There¡¯s not much to say about this. Anyway, he has always been keen on gambling steals! The teams entering the playoffs in the Eastern Conference are the Pistons, Nets, Pacers, 76ers, Hornets, Celtics, Bucks and Magic It is generally believed that except for the Pistons, which should win without any suspense against the Magic, the other teams The team matchups are a bit evenly matched. The situation in the Western Conference is even more complicated, because there is a team that has not reached the playoffs in history, and that is the Golden State Warriors who acquired Billups through the trade and Yao Ming in the draft. The records of both teams are 44 wins and 38 losses, but the Warriors' record against the Suns in the regular season this season is 3 wins and 1 loss. With the advantage of better records, they are ranked eighth in the Western Conference, and the Suns It can only be ranked ninth. It has to be said that this result not only affects the Warriors and Suns, but also directly affects the selection of the best rookie this season. If you only look at personal data, Yao Ming's 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.4 steals and 1.8 blocks per game are comparable to Stoudemire's 13.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.8 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. But now the situation is that the Warriors are in the playoffs. and the Suns didn't score! Originally, in history, Stoudemire narrowly defeated Yao Ming and won the Rookie of the Year award, but that is not necessarily the case in this life, because their positions happened to be swapped. Considering that Yao Ming is the international player with the highest draft pick in NBA history, and that Pau Gasol already won the Best Rookie Award last year, Wang Dalin feels that David Stern is likely to stick to NBA Global. For the concept of globalization, this award is awarded to Yao Ming. Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t know if Yao Ming can get this award, butif he gets it, Wang Dalin will be sincerely happy for him. After all, he has been brooding about this matter for a long time in his previous life. But he had no time to sigh, because the more intense playoffs were coming, and the entire Pistons team was well prepared Even if they achieved a record of 73 wins, if they failed to win the championship, they would eventually become a legend in NBA history. Just a joke. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The exciting playoffs are coming, and the entire Pistons team is well prepared Even if they achieve a record of 73 wins, if they fail to win the championship, they will eventually become a joke in NBA history. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 216 Why are you trying to comfort me? After winning the single-season scoring title and assists title, Wang Dalin received the reward of drawing 3 special pieces of equipment for free, and he scored a total of 40 triple-doubles this season, almost surpassing "Big O" Oscar Robertson's 41 in a single season. The record for triple doubles was broken. According to the terms in the "Single Season Milestone", he can also get 1 S-level star skill and 2 A-level star skills for free. To be honest, although Wang Dalin thinks that his performance this season has been very strong, when he looks back and thinks about it carefully, he can't help but be shocked by his performance. Damn it! This kind of fierce guy who only exists in 2k games is it really me? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT I am indeed a superstar with a "cheating system", a life of cheating is really so powerful! Now that he has received the "luck draw privilege", how can Wang Dalin continue to wait? First, draw the S-level star skill Hmm This skill is called "Hao's long-range shot"? Wang Dalin was full of doubts. When he clicked on the skill detailed explanation page, he was trembling with excitement, but then he sighed again¡ª¡ª "Hao's long shot: Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry's unique skill. This skill is a passive skill. After the host is installed, three-point shots within 9 meters from the basket will ignore distance attenuation, and the distance from the basket is 9-15 The distance attenuation of three-point shooting within a meter range is reduced by 15% (equating this skill will not change the host's original shooting action)." ¡°The minimum requirements for assembling this skill are: speed 90, lateral agility 85, and three-point range 95.¡± There is no doubt that the effect of this skill is extremely powerful, and the minimum requirements for assembly skills are also ridiculously high Wang Dalin silently thought about his ability values, and he failed to meet the standards for all three items! After careful calculation, his current three-point ability is 91, and his speed has been increased to 86. These two items are almost the same, but his lateral agility is far behind. Ever since the system canceled the channel for points to directly increase ability values, Wang Dalin has been training very hard, but his lateral agility is currently only 74 This is still the basis for his speed, otherwise how could he be able to improve in a short period of time? Increase the traverse speed by 4 points in a few months? Small players will naturally get twice the result with half the effort if they practice lateral speed. However, no matter how flexible Wang Dalin is, he is still a big man with a height of 211cm. Even if he puts all his energy into training lateral speed, it is estimated that he will only improve at most by now. Just go to 75 or 76. ¡°Watching such a powerful star¡¯s skills acquired but unable to assemble them, it feels like carrying a $1 billion check but not being able to cash it. Wang Dalin sighed again, and had no choice but to continue the "lottery". ??If you continue to draw, you will only have A-level star skills Sigh! He already has a lot of this thing, and he really can't arouse much interest in it, but it's better than nothing, so let's smoke it! After some drawing, two star skills were drawn: "Super Pickled Pepper" and "Rebounder Fool": "Super Pickle Pepper: The unique secret skill of former Indiana Pacers star Paul George. This skill is an active skill. After using it, all the host's ability values ??will be randomly increased by 2%-5% in the game, but it will be increased by 2%-5% in the next three consecutive games. The game will be in a sluggish state, so the host should use it with caution!" "Backboard Maniac: The exclusive passive skill of Reggie Evans, the famous NBA rebounder maniac. After being installed on the host, it improves the judgment of rebound placement by 5%, improves blocking strength by 3 points, and rebound rebounding by 3 points." Wang Dalin was really speechless about Pickled Pepper¡¯s bullshit skill of ¡°One God, Three Ghosts¡± This was so weird that he even hoped that he would never have to use this trick in his life. However, he was completely surprised by the skill of "rebound maniac" because he knew Reggie Evans. Reggie Evans is an undrafted player and a well-known homeless player in the league. He has played for a total of 7 teams in his career. Looking at his personal performance alone, he cannot be considered an A-level star. However, this person's rebounding ability is very outstanding, and his body is quite strong, and he can defend most of the league's interior players in the low post. He is fierce on the defensive end and is proficient in various defensive moves. Before the advent of the small ball era, he could be regarded as a very good defensive power forward. Of course, this guy also has many flaws, such as he has no shooting ability at all, he is a poor free throw shooter, he is only 203cm tall, and his movement speed is also slow. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off??? That¡¯s right¡­ Reggie Evans¡¯ rebounding ability is really slightly better than Ben¡¯s! His career average per gamesp; Da Ben wanted to fight back, but was blocked by Wang Dalin. "Brother, the third brother is obviously injured. If you are suspended for fighting again, our series will be in doubt!" It has to be said that as the leader of the team, Wang Dalin is more thoughtful than a rough man like Da Ben. The words he whispered in Da Ben's ear also made the rough guy retract his fist abruptly. The referee finally blew the whistle to separate everyone, then gave Ben a T and ejected him directly. Without saying a word, Ben immediately turned around and walked towards the tunnel After all, he had used his fist, and Garrity was knocked unconscious by the punch. At this time, everyone knew that he would be expelled, and no more nonsense would be useless. Meaningless. The Pistons' team doctors also came to the court. They only briefly checked Hamilton's ankle and carried him back to the locker room on a stretcher. In fact, Wang Dalin could clearly see the scene where Hamilton sprained his ankle just now. His left ankle was twisted to 90 degrees. Even a medical idiot like Wang Dalin knew that Hamilton's ankle injury was definitely not serious, to say the least. It's a grade two sprain, and I don't expect to be able to return to the court within a week or two. Now we can only hope that the league will not impose an additional suspension on Ben. In this case, at least he can still play in the following games. Otherwise, the Pistons will lose two important capabilities of Ben and Hamilton. This series may be really dangerous. . Thinking of this, Wang Dalin couldn't help but get angry I know you, Garrity, are a fierce defender, but it's a bit underhanded for you to step in, right? The key is why are you supporting Hamilton? If you have the guts, why don't you come and support me? I have a "Copper Skin and Iron Bone Badge", you can use it as you wish! Seeing Garrity being supported by the team doctor and walking into the tunnel, Wang Dalin couldn't help but thought to himself: "Big Ben's punch was good, but it's a pity that he didn't really kill him!" After a brief period of confusion, the game finally resumed. Since Ben was called a t just now, the Magic got a chance to take a free throw. The one who took the technical free throw was their starting point guard Darrell Armstrong. Armstrong made the free throw steadily, and then sent a wonderful pass to McGrady during the offense. After catching the ball, McGrady took two strides into the paint and hit a two-handed dunk. Seeing that Joan Barry, who came on the bench, was passed by Tracy McGrady, and that Okur and Boozer foolishly did not return to the basket to cover up the defense, Wang Dalin became so angry that he winked directly at Carlisle Carlisle understood instantly and immediately called the first timeout of the game. "Guys, now we have lost Ben and Richard, the situation is not good for us, so I need you to cheer up!" Returning to the bench, before Carlisle could speak, Wang Dalin took the lead and shouted at his teammates. , "I don't expect you to score many goals, but can you block, pick and roll, help defend, protect the frame can you?" Carlisle continued: "Darling is right. Our current situation is very dangerous. Richard's injury is not optimistic. Ben may be suspended for additional games. It is very likely that they will not be able to return for this series. Now we You can only rely on yourself! Boys, are you scared?" Boozer couldn't help but said angrily: "Who said I'm scared? I'm not afraid of these sons of bitches!" ??Oku also said: "Coach, just tell me, how should we beat them?" Carlisle finally showed a smile, then picked up the tactical board and said: "It's very simple, as long as we restrict T-Mac, their offense will be completely misfired. On the offensive end, the ball will be handed over to Darling, and he will support him from the high post, whether it is Whoever receives the ball, don¡¯t hesitate, attack immediately Do you understand?" "clear!" ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Sorry, I have to take time off again today! Today's chapter was very confusing for Lao Wang to write, especially when Ben and Hamilton were unable to play. The many details of the G3 battle and the final victory or defeat were described. I always felt that something was wrong the more I wrote, so I didn't finish it until about 10 o'clock in the evening. I suppressed about 3,000 words If I didn't tear it down and rewrite it, Lao Wang felt that he didn't have the ability to revise it word by word. I guess many friends have already noticed that Lao Wang forced Hamilton to retire injured and Ben was ejected in this period, all of which were to force Wang Dalin to make it more difficult Without making it more difficult, there would be nothing to watch or write about, because the Pistons The team is too strong, just like the Nets this season, as long as all the players are together, they are unbeatable. So people in the Nets are injured one after another, and the Pistons should be the same Lao Wang mainly wants to use this to irony the current Bucks and Antetokounmpo. Fans who have a stepping-stone team can go away on their own. Lao Wang is not rare. kind of reader! To put it more bluntly - people who support the foot-stepping brigade are probably mentally disturbed, and normal people should sneer at such behavior! Some readers think that Lao Wang deliberately makes the protagonist more difficult, but Lao Wang is having a hard time getting over it for the Nets, for Durant! Therefore, this wave of difficulty should exist in the later games, rather than on the Magic team that lacks strength. Playing the 76ers in the second round and the Nets in the Eastern Conference Finals, this should be the focus When the Pistons lose their second scorer, what height will Wang Dalin reach? How will the role players in the Pistons step forward? This is the first time this has happened to Lao Wang. It¡¯s a bit ironic when he thinks about it A person who writes online articles actually has to imitate other great writers and revise his articles repeatedly? Haha, Lao Wang could only smile bitterly at this. In fact, Lao Wang knows that if he just scrapes together a chapter of more than 4,000 words, he can publish it, but it feels too confusing, so he can't do it So Lao Wang wants to say sorry to everyone, and I have to take a day off today. , I will make up for it tomorrow, I will definitely update it! Sorry! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 217 Black Eight? nonexistent! If before the start of the playoffs, someone said that the defending champion Pistons would be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, everyone would probably think is this person crazy? Are the Pistons just an ordinary defending champion? They are super powerful who broke the Bulls' 72-win record! They averaged 105.99 points per game in the regular season and only allowed 88.1 points to their opponents. They ranked first in the league in terms of offensive and defensive efficiency. How could they fall in the first round of the playoffs? But when Hamilton suddenly retired from injury and Ben was expelled from the game, the defending champion's originally good situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. Both the coach and the players on the Magic team couldn't help but have a strong desire to win We seemed to have hope." "Black Eight Miracle"? ¡­¡­ The timeout ends and the game continues. When Wang Dalin, Boozer, Okur, McGinnis and Barry reappeared, earth-shattering boos erupted in the "Palace Arena of Auburn Hills". The Pistons suddenly lost their two absolute main players, Ben and Hamilton. The home fans in the "Waterhouse Center Stadium" probably also saw the hope of winning, so they desperately cheered and booed the visiting team, hoping that they could win. Put more pressure on Pistons players. Although the Magic are also missing Garrity, Garrity was not a member of the starting lineup. The main players in the team such as Tracy McGrady, Gooden, Jirisek, Armstrong, and De Klerk were all present, so their The combat effectiveness was not greatly affected. On the contrarythe Pistons have lost almost half of their country, and are now at their weakest this season. Even if Wang Dalin is still there, what kind of trouble can he make by himself? Wang Dalin is indeed very good, and he has even become a bit abnormal this season, but what can the Pistons do if he only relies on him? After allbasketball is played by five people! For example, McGrady scored 42 points in the first two games of this series, and he scored 46 points in g1 and g2 Isn't that fierce enough? But the result is still a loss without any suspense? So when the game continues, as long as Wang Dalin appears in the frontcourt, there will always be two defensive players near him, who will double-team him at any time. Wang Dalin was naturally mentally prepared for this, so he did not panic, but began to catch the ball at the top of the three-point arc. He hoped to attract the Magic's defensive attention through his offensive threat, and then give Teammates create offensive opportunities. However, the good balls he passed to his teammates always resulted in a strike The Pistons missed several consecutive attacks, and the Magic took the opportunity to go on a 10-0 spurt, scoring in less than 3 minutes. Cha pulled into double digits. I have to say role players are role players! Most of the time, they can only provide ¡°icing on the cake¡± but cannot ¡°provide help in times of need.¡± If they can really step up and perform well every time the team is in crisis, how can they be just role players? For example, Derek Fisher, the so-called "Champion Jigsaw" of the Lakers back then, was the most impressive in his entire career was that 0.4-second buzzer-beater, but other than that time, what else do you remember about his performance? To be honesthe is just an ordinary starting point guard. Couldn't someone else do it better than him? Another example is Robert Horry, this top role player who has won 7 championships with the Rockets, Lakers and Spurs, can definitely be called the strongest role player in history. But just imagine, if the Lakers lost Kobe at that time, could everyone still count on Horry to help O'Neal turn the tide? In the regular season this season, McGinnis averaged 12.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, Boozer 10.1 points and 6.2 rebounds, Williams 9.6 points and 4.2 rebounds, Okur 6.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.8 blocks The Pistons' role this season The players are not weak. But these performances are mostly caused by the strong offensive influence of the stars on the court. If the team suddenly loses two All-Star players, especially the powerful scorer Hamilton who averaged more than 22 points per game, I think It is obviously unrealistic to rely on role players to fill such a large gap on the offensive end. In a word When the team is going well, role players may play well, but when the team encounters difficulties, they often struggle extremely. What¡¯s more, Okur and Boozer are only first-year rookies. How can we expect them to perform well in their first playoff appearance? ¡°In a few years, maybe both of them can grow into first-class stars in the league, and even be selected for the All-Star team, but now they are still tooAfter a 180-degree change, they all said that the Pistons had a high chance of defeating the Magic in the fifth game. The American media is like thiswhen you have an advantage, they will praise you, but when you are at a disadvantage, they will immediately reduce you to worthlessness. Just like Nowitzki at the peak of his career, he won the regular season MVP with a huge advantage in the 2006-2007 season. However, when the Mavericks were "defeated" by the Warriors in the first round, people almost belittled everything. All the words were used on him. If the "veteran driver" had not led the single-core team to win the championship in 2011, even if he scored 31,560 points in his career and ranked sixth on the all-time scoring list, I am afraid he would still be known as a "softie" for the rest of his life. The "Battle of the Kings" between the Pistons and the Magic was scheduled for April 30. When the Pistons players appeared one by one at the "Auburn Hills Palace Arena", the audience stood up and gave them the warmest applause. The suspended Ben could only sit on the bench and cheer for his teammates. His expression was a little lonely, obviously because he could not fight side by side with his teammates on the court. In his opinion, he is the oldest player on this team and should have assumed more important responsibilities, but now he can only watch his teammates fight on the court. This feeling is really terrible. Hamilton, who had not been seen for several days, also appeared at the scene. He was wearing a crisp gray suit, but he wore a protective boot on his left foot and was leaning on a cane. His left ankle is indeed a grade two sprain. The injury report given by the team doctor stated that he must rest for 2-4 weeks. In other words even in the best case scenario, Hamilton will not be available until at least mid-May. He may return to the court, but if he is unlucky, he may not be able to return by the end of May. "Fourth brother, come on!" "Fourth brother, I know you can do it!" When the starting five of both sides were about to take the stage, Ben and Hamilton said to Wang Dalin respectively. Wang Dalin turned to them and smiled slightly, and then said: "Don't worry, we will definitely win!" Seeing the smile on Wang Dalin¡¯s face, Ben and Hamilton couldn¡¯t help but feel relieved This is the Pistons this season! This is Wang Dalin this season! Maybe they are facing difficulties now, but this 73-win super team has regained their confidence through a victory Their morale is now strong! Black Eight? nonexistent! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 218 Is this S-class star¡¯s skills a bit weird? (Second update, asking for votes and rewards!) There were once four boys who loved basketball. They came to God to make a wish. The first boy said: "I want to have a talent like Jordan!" The second boy said: "I want to have a more powerful dunk than Jordan!" The third boy shook his head and said disdainfully: "Who is Jordan? I want to defeat him!" The fourth boy ran to God and whispered: "I want to become JordanI want to beat each of themI want to win" So God gave the first boy a basketball talent comparable to Jordan's and an elegant style full of beauty, and also gave him 35 seconds enough to defeat all opponents in the world. Yes, this boy¡¯s name is Tracy McGrady¡­ In those unique 35 seconds, even God couldn¡¯t help but be moved to tears for him! God gave the second boy a more powerful dunking ability than Jordan. In 2000, he stepped on flying meteors and held a thunderbolt, streaking across the night sky of Golden State like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. His performance can only be described in one sentence - ¡ªSince then, there are only two types of dunks, one is called Vince Carter, and the other is called others! The third boy is still so full of personality. God also arranged for him to have a head-to-head showdown with Jordan in his career debut. He defeated Jordan in this showdown and won the glory From then on, he Living a life of fighting against the sky, the earth, and himself, the name Allen Iverson has completely changed from "question" to "answer"! As for the last boy, God did not arrange anything for him, but his wish came true God did not let him become Jordan, but secretly gave him a paranoia that was better than Jordan, so he became the most famous person in history. The terrifying scoring machine, the names of Kobe Bryant and the "Black Mamba" will always be deeply engraved in the history of NBA! These are the four strongest outside stars in the NBA at the beginning of the 21st century, known in history as the "Four Major Shooting Guards"! The first boy among them, McGrady with the white horse and spear He is leading the Magic team to fight fiercely with the Pistons team led by Wang Dalin. On the night of April 30, 2003, McGrady played the strongest performance of his career so far, but his opponent was equally strong Wang Dalin's performance was no less than him, and even slightly better than him. At the end of the three quarters, both Wang Dalin and Tracy McGrady played all 36 minutes. Neither of them dared to slack off at all, or even dared to take a rest at all. McGrady made a total of 18 of 27 shots in the first three quarters, including 6 of 9 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 49 points and also contributed 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. . Even though he scored 52 points against the Bulls on March 21 this year, his shooting percentage in that game was only 46.9%, and he only had 5 rebounds and 3 assists. If he hadn¡¯t witnessed it with his own eyes, McGrady wouldn¡¯t have believed anything he said, that someone could actually overwhelm him despite his incredible performance. That's right Wang Dalin also made 18 of 27 shots in the first three quarters, including 7 of 13 three-pointers and 8 of 8 free throws. He actually scored 51 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks! If it weren¡¯t for the poor touch of his teammates tonight, which wasted several wonderful passes from Wang Dalin, he might even have scored a 50+ triple-double in three quarters. Of course, if his teammates really feel good, Wang Dalin will definitely not be able to score 51 points He took 27 crazy shots in the three quarters, which has never happened before in Wang Dalin's previous games. After the start of the fourth quarter, McGrady's offensive momentum obviously weakened a lot. After all, after 36 minutes of high-intensity confrontation and 27 shots on the offensive end, McGrady's physical strength tank has almost bottomed out. In the original time and space, McGrady played a full 46 minutes against the Wizards on March 10, 2004. He and "General" Gilbert Arenas launched a fierce scoring battle. McGrady scored 52 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal in the first three quarters, shooting 19-for-31 from the field, but in the last quarter, McGrady only made 1-for-6 from the field Facts have proved that McGrady has never been a player with superior physical strength! ¡°And when he first entered the league, doctors conducted a comprehensive physical examination on him. The result was that he suffered from congenital mild scoliosis. They predicted that his professional life span would only be 5-6 years. Therefore, McGrady¡¯s peak period was not entirely due to back injuries, but because of his back injuries, his congenital scoliosis became more and more serious, and in the later stages he was finally unable to continue. God gave McGrady a basketball talent comparable to Jordan's, but did not give him a strong body that can fully display this talent It is a miracle that he can play in the NBA for 15 years with this body! &nbsHe was elected Coach of the Year for the second time and became the first head coach in NBA history to win this award consecutively. Originally, David Stern wanted to award this award to Popovich. After all, the Spurs finished first in the Western Conference with 60 wins and 22 losses this season, and the league has not awarded this award to the same person for two consecutive years. precedent. But the Pistons' record is so unbelievable With a majestic 73 wins, it would be unreasonable if they still can't win the best coach award! The Most Improved Player will be awarded to Matt Halprin of the Jazz. This strong white forward averaged 18.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.6 blocks per game this season. Last season, his data was only 11.3 points. 7.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.1 blocks. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In terms of the best team, the members of the first team include Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Wang Dalin, Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady; The members of the second team are Ben Wallace, Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett, Allen Iverson and Jason Kidd; The members of the third team include Jermaine O'Neal, Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, Richard Hamilton and Stephon Marbury. Mavericks starting point guard Steve Nash was originally very hopeful to be selected for the All-NBA third team. His personal data is not bad, averaging 17.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1 steal per game. Unfortunately, his team record is not as good as Hamilton's. , I can only regret losing the election. Wang Dalin's "second brother" Chauncey Billups also regretted not being selected for the All-NBA team. He averaged 16.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game this season. His personal performance is almost as good as Nash. The All-Defensive Team is basically all old faces. The first-team members are Doug Christie, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Ben Wallace, and the second-team members are Shaquille O'Neal, Wang Dalin, Ron Artest, Bruce Bowen and Jason Kidd. Wang Dalin was finally selected to the best defensive team. Although he was only in the second team, it was a great improvement for him. This means that the mainstream media has fully recognized his defensive level. Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t have much feeling about being selected for the best defensive team, because in the system¡¯s ¡°Single Season Milestone¡±, being selected for the defensive team can only get the reward of ¡°free drawing of 1 A-level star skill¡±. A-level star skills Wang Dalin could only say: "Haha, I have so many of them, I can hardly count them!" But now that he has won the mvp, according to the "single-season milestone" regulations, he can draw an S-level star skill for free. This is the real grand prize! He couldn¡¯t wait to draw the big prize first, and when he got the skill, he was surprised and happy. "Holy shit! Can you draw this thing? Speaking of whichthis skill is really a bit weird!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 219 The original championship was eliminated? "Dream Dance: The unique skill of Rockets legend Hakeem Olajuwon. This skill is an active skill. The success rate of feinting within 3 meters from the basket is increased by 80%, and the success rate of avoiding blocks is increased by 50%. , the finishing hit rate increases by 20%." "The minimum requirements for equipping this skill are: 85 for close range shooting, 90 for cut-in layups, 85 for cut-in dunks, 80 on-the-spot dunks, 80 for back-up hook shots, 88 for behind-the-back fadeaway jumpers, 85 for post-up moves, 80 for ball control, and dribbling Speed ??80, acceleration 75.¡± "Note: People above 208cm in height can 100% exert the power of this skill. People under height will gradually weaken the power according to the height difference. People under 198cm in height cannot use this skill." Yes, this very cool skill is the "Dream Dance" of "Big Dream", a stunt that has been lost in later generations. Even Yao Ming's "Shanghai Dance" can only be called a copycat version of it. It is indeed the unique skill of "Big Dream". If you are less than 208cm tall, you cannot fully exert the full power of this move. If you are less than 198cm tall, you cannot even use this move. When Wang Dalin knew that Kobe Bryant would come later, he went to Dameng to learn this move. He seemed to have used it many times in the game, but it must have been improved by Kobe Bryant. He couldn't exert much power with the original "Dream Dance Move" , his height can only be said to be barely usable. Wang Dalin carefully looked at the minimum assembly requirements and found that this skill actually has 10 ability value restrictions. If it does not meet the standards, it cannot be assembled Well, he really can't assembly because his back hook shot is only 79 , still 1 point short. Fortunately, there is only one point left. Wang Dalin is very confident that he can improve this point in a short period of time. Maybe he can reach the standard during this year's playoffs. After drawing the "big prize", there are still two "small prizes" to be drawn Wang Dalin was more casual this time, and he quickly got two A-level star skills. "Veteran dribbling: The unique skill of Andre Miller, the NBA star who looks most like Karen Mok. This skill is a passive skill. After being equipped, it can reduce the physical energy consumption of dribbling by 20%." "Roaring God: The unique skill of NBA champion Rasheed Wallace. This skill is an active skill. Roaring when the score is behind can increase the morale of all teammates by 15%. However, it will arouse the referee's disgust and increase the number of whistles. The possibility of foul play is 15%, host please use with caution!" Wang Dalin was a little speechless after seeing it. These are obviously two useless skills! "Expert Dribbling" is a little better, at least it can reduce physical exertion, but what the hell is this "Roaring God"? After using it, the risk of being blown away actually increases? No wonder Rasheed Wallace has dominated the technical foul list for many years and is completely unrivaled! He was afraid of comparison in everything. In the past, Wang Dalin complained about his "Wolf King's Roar" many times, but now in comparison, he also relies on shouting. "Wolf King's Roar" at least has no side effects that's it. It¡¯s a bit shameful to beat your chest! Almost in an instant, Wang Dalin decided to put the skill "Roaring Heavenly Lord" into the background. ¡­¡­ On the evening of May 1st, Wang Dalin sat in front of the TV on time. As a senior fan from China, how could he not watch Yao Ming's game? Although Wang Dalin knew that the Warriors would probably lose to the Spurs in this game and be eliminated with a big score of 2:4, he still wanted to see if the Warriors could create a miracle. Since Yao Ming's fate has changed and he has not gone to the Rockets, who knows what heights he can reach in his rookie season? Moreover, this Warriors team also has Wang Dalin's "second brother" Billups. This is a famous big-game star who can often perform wonderfully in key games and so far in the playoffs, he has always regarded Tony .Parker abused him so much, who is sure that he can't lead the team to defeat the Spurs? Ben, who was suspended, and Hamilton, who was recuperating from injury, also came to Wang Dalin's home. They all came to cheer for Billups If it weren't for the influence of public opinion, they even wanted to fly directly to the "Oakland Football Club." Pavilion" cheering for the brothers on the spot. At the beginning of the game, both sides displayed extraordinary defensive intensity. Duncan's inside attack on the Spurs' side did not go smoothly, and the Warriors boss Jamison was still in worrying condition. The Warriors were the first to make adjustments. They began to focus on Yao Ming, and Yao Ming did not disappoint the expectations of the home fans. He quickly opened up the situation in the paint, and the old and frail "Admiral" could not guard him at all. Popovich also made adjustments immediately, replacing David Robinson and replacing him with first-year rookie Manu Ginobili, allowing Duncan to assume the center position. Under Duncan¡¯s defense, Yao Ming¡¯s offense was immediately blocked.By about 15 minutes, the Warriors were already leading by 15 points. Seeing that the situation was not good, Popovich decisively called a timeout and dispatched Bowen. Of course, this old thief arranged a "special task" for Bowen. But how could the Warriors not be wary of Bowen? Head coach Eric Musselman immediately replaced Jason Richardson with Bob Sura. During an attack by the Warriors, just as Bowen was about to successfully step on the "second brother", Sura pounced on him with a lightning-fast sliding step, knocking Bowen away. That¡¯s not the end of it Su La went up to Bowen and delivered a heavy punch. While beating him, he cursed: "I told you to step on your feet I told you to step on your feet I'll beat you to death, you son of a bitch." !¡± Bowen was stunned when he received the first punch in the face. Of course, he could only be beaten unilaterally later. It can only be said that Sula's operation was too fast. By the time other players came over to separate them, Bowen had been beaten unconscious, his face was covered with blood and the bridge of his nose was broken. . Popovich was also dumbfounded on the sidelines. How could he have thought that Bob Sura was so decisive and decisive, and his fighting ability Tsk, tsk, tsk, if I had known, I should have brought this guy to the Spurs. It's really awesome So fierce! The referee finally separated everyone, ejected Sura directly, and then asked the Spurs doctor to carry Bowen out of the field When everything was over, the players from both sides continued to return to the field to play. It was already 15 minutes later. Thanks to these 15 minutes, Yao Ming's originally weak physical strength actually recovered a lot. As a result, the fans at the scene saw for the first time how powerful Yao Ming was, who was still full of physical strength in the fourth quarter. And the Warriors players experienced the "stepping shock" and the scene where Sula beat Bowen violently. The whole team was even more energetic, and soon used a 14:4 climax to completely send the game into garbage time. In the end, the Warriors defeated the Spurs with a score of 107:91 and became the Lakers' opponent in the semifinals. Wang Dalin couldn't help being surprised and happy when he saw this. What was surprising was that the Warriors actually overturned the Spurs, but what they didn't know was what they defeated was the original championship in history! But of course he was more happy. After all, Yao Ming won and Billups also won. Ben and Hamilton were so happy that they couldn't help but dance. Wang Dalin was so scared that he quickly pulled Hamilton back to the sofa to sit down Third brother, your foot injury is not healed yet, why don¡¯t you just calm down? After this battle, the pattern of the Western Conference has completely changed. After all, the original championship Spurs have been eliminated. Wang Dalin cannot predict who will eventually make it to the finals. Now he can only take one step at a time Who knows if the Warriors can To what extent? Wang Dalin has even thought whimsically What if the Warriors make it to the finals and the Pistons in the East break through again, that would be great! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 220 A call from Yao Ming The Pistons did not have a game on May 4th and 5th, but considering that they were about to face a strong challenge from the 76ers, Carlisle arranged some confrontational training during these two days, mainly to keep the players in shape, otherwise If you rest for too long, your body will be too relaxed and the situation will be bad. In these trainings, Carlisle focused on practicing the team's offensive tactics. He did not study too much on how to defend Iverson, because in the current lack of big money, the Pistons themselves do not have the ability to limit Iverson. condition. ???????????????????????????????????? To put it harshly, even if the big man is there, it will be difficult for them to restrain a small and agile guard like Iverson. Even though Parker seemed to be severely restricted by Billups in the playoffs, in fact, the main reason why the Warriors were able to restrict him was not how much Billups restrained him, but that he himself was still far away. Immature After all, he is only a second-year rookie. He may be very good in the regular season, but he should be beaten in the playoffs. However, this situation will get better and better, because Parker will grow rapidly, and Ginobili, another member of the Spurs, will also grow rapidly. They will eventually become another "gdp combination" in history in the near future. Two pieces of puzzle. The Pistons had nothing to do with Iverson's offense, but the 76ers also had no way to limit Wang Dalin, so Carlisle was not frustrated. He was full of confidence in the outcome of this series. The first two games of this series will indeed be difficult, but after Ben, the defensive core, returns, Wang Dalin will be able to devote more energy to the offense, instead of continuing to play both offense and defense like he did against the Magic. Caught it. On May 6, the two semifinals of the Eastern and Western Conferences started in Detroit and Los Angeles respectively. On one side, the defending champion Pistons faced the 76ers, and on the other side, the Warriors, who had entered the Western Conference semifinals for the first time in many years, faced the former champion Lakers. The young Yao Ming is about to face the most powerful inside monster in history, Shaquille O'Neal, in the playoffs, and beside this monster there is an increasingly mature "Black Mamba". In this round of the series The test for him was extremely severe, even far beyond any competition he had ever experienced before. Like the strong opponent Yao Ming faces, Wang Dalin¡¯s opponent is the most powerful scoring machine in the NBA in the early 21st century - Allen Iverson! In order to increase his chances of winning, Wang Dalin even practiced the technique of backhand hook shooting repeatedly during these two days of training. He wanted to increase this ability value to 80 as soon as possible, so that he could equip the "dream dance steps" This is a powerful S-level star skill. ????????????????? But contrary to expectations, I was really anxious and couldn¡¯t eat hot dumplings! Although Wang Dalin has worked extremely hard, it is obviously unrealistic to achieve a breakthrough in just two days of training. Until the start of the G1 game against the 76ers, his back hook shots still stayed at 79 He I can feel it is very close to 80, but just a little bit short. In this game, Wang Dalin still appeared at the center position, and his opponent was the 76ers starting center Derek Coleman. The 1990 No. 1 pick had a glorious past. Even when the "four major centers" dominated the league in the 1990s, Coleman scored 20+10 for three consecutive seasons. His outstanding performance Not much worse than the four major centers. During 1990-1995, apart from the four major centers, the only ones who could rival Coleman were Alonzo Mourning and Dikembe Mutombo. It is now 2003. This veteran who has been in the league for 13 seasons is obviously old. However, although he is no longer at his peak, he still has gas in the tank This season, he averaged 10 points per game in the regular season. 9.4 points, 7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.1 blocks, averaging only 27.2 minutes per game. Therefore, Wang Dalin did not underestimate this veteran. He knew that no matter what kind of opponent he faced, he had to remain cautious Even a superstar would inevitably capsize in the gutter when facing some sunset veterans. This kind of thing is impossible in the NBA. It's happened too many times. After the game started, the 76ers still used their so-called impregnable iron barrel formation. They used this defensive system to cause many strong teams to suffer in the regular season. But this does not have a big impact on Wang Dalin, because he is different from most players of this era His style of play is beyond the times! The defensive system created by Larry Brown is indeed very powerful, and it does a good job of covering up Iverson's poor defense, but this system is not insurmountable. ??Fundamentally speaking, in fact, this so-called most powerful defensive system in history is just shrinking the interior and adding various assist defenses uh, by the way, and deliberately slowing down the pace. Having two masters of help defense in Kenny Thomas and Derek Coleman, plus the No. 1 positionOne, just give him one back Just pull to the mid-range and take a shot. I still don't believe it. Could it be that he would give up the basket and come out to guard you? " Yao Ming seemed to have realized something, but it was still a little vague, so he asked: "But even if he doesn't come out to guard me, there are other people on the Lakers team, and their help defense is not weak!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Others on the Lakers? Is there anyone over 2.10 meters tall? Don't tell me just because they can guard against your mid-range shot?" Yao Ming murmured: "Yeah If I pull up to the mid-range to shoot, the Lakers can't guard me at all, unless O'Neal spots me If he leaves the basket, won't I know how to pass the ball? Oops. I know how to fightThank you Dalin, I have to call Coach Musselman, so I¡¯m hanging up now!¡± After saying that, Yao Ming hung up the phone. Wang Dalin also put the phone back on the bedside table, and finally closed his eyes with a smile (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 221 No way, playing against the Mavericks in the finals? Yao Ming's mood has indeed improved a lot. He finally bottomed out in the G2 game on the evening of May 8. He scored 23 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks on 9 of 16 shots. Although he still failed to restrain O'Neal, he At least it "exploded" somewhat on the offensive end. And Billups also played very well against "Little Fish" Fisher. He made 11 of 20 shots from the field, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, and scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 8 rebounds. Assists, 2 steals and 1 block once again proved that he is the "real leg" of the Warriors. In this G2 game, Kobe shot 13 of 25, including 4 of 9 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 37 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. He was the best player on the Lakers team. O'Neal's condition was a little worse than in the G1 game, but he still made 9 of 17 shots and 8 of 14 free throws, scoring 26 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. The "OK combination" performed very well, but only the two of them scored in double figures on the Lakers. The performance of the others was too high, so they lost the G2 game This means that they have lost their own Home field advantage. Yao Ming's comeback is certainly something to be happy about, but Wang Dalin couldn't be happy because they lost in the G2 game, and it was a pity to lose. The reason why the Pistons lost this game was mainly because the performance of the role players was too unstable. They performed very well in the G1 game, but this time they collectively pulled their hips. Boozer, who scored 21 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists in the last game, only made 2 of 11 shots in this game. He almost failed to make any mid-range shots from his originally quite stable range. He only scored 7 points and 4 points in 34 minutes. Rebounds and 1 assist. And McGinnis This starting point guard was not only outplayed by Iverson on the defensive end, but also performed dismally on the offensive end. He only made 4 of 14 shots from the field. With the addition of free throws, he barely scored in double figures, scoring 11 points. 3 rebounds and 3 assists. The only two players on the Pistons who have performed stably are Wang Dalin and Robinson. As the Pistons' oldest player, "Uncle Cliff" also scored 15 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists on 6-of-10 shooting in this game, and also sent 2 blocks. Wang Dalin, the leader of the team, made 11 of 22 shots from the field, including 3 of 7 three-pointers and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 33 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. It's a pity that Iverson was in great form for the 76ers. He made 16 of 29 shots from the field, including 5 of 10 three-pointers and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 45 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals. He almost missed it. Hit a big triple-double of 40+. In addition, Van Horn, who was in a sluggish state in the G1 game, also recovered this game. He made 9 of 18 shots from the field, including 4 of 7 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 25 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists. With 1 steal and 1 block, he is definitely worthy of his reputation as the "second leader" in this game. In fact, the outcome of this game was still uncertain until the final minute. However, in the last minute of the game, Iverson first hit a three-pointer from the outside, and then hit the inside and caused Wang Dalin's thug to foul. The 5 points were divided into three points. The key to winning or losing the game. Although Wang Dalin also made a three-pointer during this period, his mid-range shot with 5.6 seconds before the end of the game was still unable to turn the tide and drag the game into overtime. In the end, the 76ers narrowly defeated the Pistons 99:97. While they won a valuable away victory, the home court advantage of the defending champions was instantly wiped out. On May 10, the G3 game between the Pistons and the 76ers moved to the "Wachovia Center" in Philadelphia. Although it was an away game, the Pistons' Ben finally ended his suspension, and his comeback also boosted the morale of his teammates. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s been too long since I¡¯ve played a game, and Ben didn¡¯t play well after coming on the field. He has never had any sense of presence on the offensive end. On the defensive end, he also missed people many times. It is obvious that something is wrong in the game. Sometimes it¡¯s like this When you try to exert more force, you can¡¯t exert any more force. Ben also feels anxious, but the feeling of the game is not that you can recover immediately if you are anxious. There was no big boss before, and the Pistons were able to run smoothly under the leadership of Wang Dalin. Although the role players were a bit weak, everyone was able to perform their duties, so they were able to successfully defeat the Magic and win in the second round. Defeated the 76ers in the G1 game. Now Ben¡¯s sudden return not only failed to make the team better, but disrupted the team¡¯s chemical reaction, so Wang Dalin had to embark on the old path of fighting alone. It¡¯s a pity that he failed to lead the team to win the G3 game despite scoring 44 points, 17 rebounds and 7 assists. The Pistons lost 98:104, trailing 1:2. Without Hamilton, Ben was in a worrying state after finally returning. For a while, the outside media began to unanimously look down on the Pistons. Most people believed that the Pistons would lose to the 76ers 2:4. In particular, the New York Times published an article by a columnist on the front page, which had a clear stance.??Now that the Spurs have been eliminated, there is really no guarantee who will win in the Western Conference finals Although the Lakers' "ok combination" is powerful, the Mavericks' "troika" of Nowitzki, Nash and Finley is not. Not vegetarian! On May 18, the Eastern Conference finals started first, and the Pistons won 99:87. I have to say that the Pistons really beat the Nets this season, and they always perform well every time they encounter them. The main reason is that Kidd of the Nets is being targeted. His figure has an advantage against most point guards in the league, but against McGinnis, he can only be said to be half a pound He is also 193cm tall, nothing more. It's just that Kidd's weight and strength have a slight advantage. Of course, McGinnis alone cannot limit Kidd, but the Pistons also have two masters of assist defense, Wang Dalin and Big Ben. Kidd doesn't have the absolute speed of Iverson, so even if he breaks through McGinnis's first line of defense, he can often only gamble on touch in the mid-range If he dares to get to the basket, he will have to face dire situations. It was Da Ben and Wang Dalin who blocked the sky and the sun. "The most embarrassing thing for Kidd is that the Pistons don't pay attention to his mid-range shots at all. As long as you dare to shoot, they dare to shoot Anyway, they will never help defend in the mid-range. If you have the guts, you can shoot?" For this opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals, Carlisle and the Pistons coaching staff did a very detailed study, so they made a seemingly absurd arrangement, which was to let Kidd play in isolation, as long as he defended others the Nets must Undoubted defeat! Kidd's long-range two-point shooting percentage this season is only 37.4%, and his mid-range two-point shooting percentage is only 36.6%. As long as he is restricted from shooting in the three-second zone, it will be useless even if he is allowed to shoot 50 times a game Compared with later generations of Chris Paul or Stephen Curry, Kidd's scoring explosiveness is simply weak! The situation in the G2 battle is still the same. The Pistons once again defeated the Nets 102:89, another easy victory. If it were still the regular season, Nets head coach Byron Scott would still have time to find a way to solve this problem, but now it is the playoffs, how can he have time to change everything? Now there is only one way in front of the Nets. Unless Kidd can suddenly develop a stable mid-range shot, they will not be able to change the status quo of being suppressed by the Pistons. But Kidd is already a very mature All-Star, and his playing style has already been established. How can stable shooting be achieved immediately through practice? So the 2003 Eastern Conference Finals was completely one-sided. The Pistons won two games in a row in New Jersey, sweeping them 4-0 and advancing to the finals. In the Western Conference Finals on the other side, the Mavericks and Lakers played much more intensely. First, the Mavericks won two games in a row at their home court, and then the Lakers also won two games in a row after returning to their home court. The "Battle of Heavenly Kings Mountain" between the two sides was so intense that it was almost darkness. In the end, Nowitzki hit a three-pointer. The ball beat the Lakers. Maybe it was the defeat at "Tianwang Mountain" that caused the mentality of the Lakers players to collapse. Maybe it was O'Neal's recurrence of toe injury that caused his sluggish state. Maybe Kobe wanted to prove himself too much, but ended up turning into a blacksmith In short, the G6 battle against the Lakers The team was completely defeated and lost face by 79:101 in the end. After eliminating the Lakers with a big score of 4:2, the Mavericks reached the Finals for the first time in history. This is a historic moment for the Mavericks, as well as for Nowitzki, Nash, Finley and other Mavericks players. It¡¯s also a moment worth remembering forever. It has to be said that the elimination of the original championship Spurs did change a lot of things. Otherwise, how could the Mavericks enter the finals in 2003? But this life is obviously different from the original history, because no matter which team in the Western Conference reaches the finals, their opponent will be the terrifying Pistons The super power with 73 wins, let me ask you, are you afraid? The finals will start on May 25. At this time, the Pistons received good news-Hamilton's injury has finally recovered and he can return! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 222 This championship is a little too weak to win! 2003 was supposed to be Tim Duncan¡¯s year of glory. In this year, he led the team to defeat the Suns, Lakers and Mavericks in a row, and finally defeated the Nets 4:2 to win the championship. In 24 games in the playoffs, Duncan averaged 24.7 points, 15.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 3.3 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage reached 52.9%. "It's a pity that he was not able to do it in this life, and was eliminated in the first round. ?Perhaps since he failed to win the regular season MVP this season, he has deviated from the original historical trajectory and has never been able to reverse the decline. So the biggest winner in the Western Conference this season became a young "veteran driver". When he led the Mavericks players into the "Palace Arena of Auburn Hills", his face was filled with a happy smile that could not be suppressed. On the evening of May 25, the much-anticipated NBA Finals finally started. The champions of the Eastern and Western Conferences have gone through many hardships to reach the finals. On one side are the defending champion Pistons led by Wang Dalin, and on the other side are the Mavericks who have stepped onto the finals floor for the first time. TNT TV station even moved the live broadcast room to the arena. Barkley and Smith were sitting on the sidelines. Even with headphones, it was difficult to resist the earth-shattering noise of the fans at the scene. Wang Dalin came over to say hello to Buckley before the warm-up. After the two hugged deeply, Buckley asked a little worriedly: "Darling, is Richard really okay?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "No problemwhen we practiced together these two days, that guy was stronger than anyone else!" Barkley smiled and said: "That's good. It seems that you are determined to win the championship this year!" Wang Dalin laughed loudly and said: "Then I'll take your word for ithahaha" Yes, Hamilton has indeed recovered from his injury. This can be seen from his actions during warm-up shooting. He even performed a one-handed split dunk although this dunk can only win at most in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. By 35 minutes, this was enough to prove that his left ankle was in very good condition. After the game started, Hamilton immediately started his ghostly movement without the ball. Although Laga Bell of the Mavericks is also a first-class perimeter defender, he still has a headache with Hamilton's style of play. If it's a ball-holding offense, even if the opponent is a scoring machine like Kobe, Lagar Bell's stalking "mad dog" defense can still come in handy, but Hamilton doesn't hold the ball at all. Just keep running every time he gets the ball, and when he catches the ball, it's a killing blow. Boozer, who has replaced Robinson as the starting power forward, has lived up to expectations. He can get good shooting opportunities with a pick-and-roll with his teammates in the mid-range, and even if he faces Nowitzki's defense, as long as the opponent does not block it immediately. When blocked, he can always make a shot. As the playoffs progressed one game after another, Boozer finally began to show his talent. Currently, he is only slightly behind Yao Ming among the 2002 rookies, and even better than Amar'e Stoudemire and Jay. Williams has to be even better. Having said that, I have to say a little more Not long ago on the night of June 1st, Jay Williams was driving his beloved heavy-duty motorcycle at high speed on the streets of Cleveland. As a result, the motorcycle accidentally lost control and hit him directly. Arrived at the telephone pole on the side of the road. Jay Williams was thrown far away, and the direct consequence was that the ligaments of his left knee were ruptured, and three nerves in his left leg were seriously injured, and he faced lifelong amputation or even life-threatening injuries. Being able to beat Yao Ming to be the No. 1 pick in the 2002 draft, Jay Williams is naturally no ordinary figure. He was born on September 10, 1981, grew up in New Jersey, and became a well-known basketball star when he graduated from the local St. Joseph High School in 1999. In addition to basketball, he is very accomplished in American football and volleyball, and he is even very proficient in chess. After entering Duke University, a famous basketball school, he quickly won the NCAA championship under the leadership of his senior brother Sean Battier. Lateras a junior, he won two Naismith and Wooden awards that year, and finally decided to leave school early to join the NBA. Duke University even retired his No. 22 jersey in gratitude for his contribution. Although his performance with the Cavaliers this season did not meet people's expectations, he averaged 9.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 26.1 minutes per game. He performed well on both offense and defense. If the Cavaliers can give him more playing time, if head coach Bill Cartwright can give him a more important tactical position, maybe he will have a chance to compete for this year's Rookie of the Year award Unfortunately, all this is just like this.It's time to compete with Nowitzki, otherwise the Pistons' morale will be crushed by Nowitzki sooner or later. This is personal heroism! In fact, what the NBA advocates is individual heroism! For example, Michael Jordan back then wasn't he the ultimate embodiment of personal heroism? Wang Dalin and Nowitzki had a fierce battle, and it was still difficult to decide the winner until the last moment of the game. However, in the last minute or two of the game, Nowitzki finally lost. In fact, it¡¯s not that he is weak, but that his physical strength has finally been exhausted! Friends who are familiar with basketball should know that when a person is weak, all your movements will be deformed. Even if you shoot the ball accurately, it will be difficult for you to put the ball into the basket at this time. Wang Dalin, who had 92 physical points, had the last laugh. He made 15 of 28 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 41 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks This This is the eighth time he has scored 40+ points in this year's playoffs. Nowitzki made 15 of 30 shots from the field, including 5 of 10 three-pointers and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 43 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks If it weren't for his lack of physical strength at the last moment, he made three consecutive attacks. When it comes to blacksmithing, he may be the one who laughs last. After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Wang Dalin and Nowitzki hugged each other again The two fought fiercely for a whole game, and they already cherished each other. Nowitzki was still unconvinced and said: "You are lucky tonight. When I get back to Dallas, I will let you know how good I am!" Wang Dalin said tit for tat: "It doesn't matter where the competition is, you will definitely be the loser anyway!" Nowitzki smiled and said: "Okay, then we'll see!" ¡­¡­ On the evening of June 8, the finals G3 game started as scheduled at the American Airlines Center Arena in Dallas. People did not see Nowitzki among the players warming up, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little stagnant. Even Barkley and Smith hurriedly sought verification from various sources, and finally had to regretfully tell everyone that Nowitzki suffered a secondary leg injury in his left calf. Muscle strain, he will definitely miss all games this season! After hearing the news, Wang Dalin couldn't help but be stunned: "Grade two hamstring strain? Didn't he just fight me for hundreds of rounds in the last game? Why did he get injured all of a sudden?" There was a rare trace of regret on Carlisle's face: "It is said that he suddenly strained during training yesterday, and there was no resistance at all Alas, this kid Dirk is really unlucky!" Maybe it comes from the original bond of time and space Carlisle seemed particularly sorry for Nowitzki, "a disciple who is not his disciple." How did he know that in the original time and space, he and Nowitzki had reached the top of the league together, and that time they could call themselves the most valuable championship in NBA history It is extremely rare to win a single-core championship. , and they also defeated the powerful "Heat Big Three"! Wang Dalin felt regretful and could only say silently in his heart: "Although this championship is a bit unviable, I can only accept it with a smile!" The Mavericks losing Nowitzki is tantamount to losing Optimus Prime, just like the Lakers losing O'Neal, or the Pistons losing Wang Dalin they suddenly fell from the top team to the second-rate team. . Although Nash, Finley and others were still fighting hard on the court, the huge gap in strength made them completely unable to compete with the Pistons, and the game was quickly defeated. The same was true for the G4 game on June 11. The Pistons easily won without much resistance. In the end, they swept the Mavericks with a score of 4:0 and won the O'Brien Cup in Dallas. After winning the championship, all members of the Pistons rushed back to Detroit overnight. They first had an all-night carnival with the fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills, and then held a grand championship parade on June 13. . Although the outside media and people from all walks of life have many doubts about the gold content of their championship, even "hardcore Darling fans" like Barkley can't help but complain This championship is purely due to luck! However, many fans still stood up and said something fair Even if Nowitzki was not injured, could the Mavericks really come back from a 0:2 deficit to win? In the first two games, the Mavericks were completely suppressed by the Pistons, and they were unable to resist at all? Even if Nowitzki scored astonishing statistics of 43+10+5 in the G2 game, wouldn't they still lose? Can you expect Nowitzki to score 50+ in every game? This is obviously unrealistic, sothe championship is the championship! Even if the victory is indeed a bit weak, the Pistons are this year's championship No one can change this result, there is no doubt! After winning the championship, Pistons owner Bill Davidson also took the initiative to hold a feast in his mansion and invited all members of the Pistons and Dumars and other team managers. Wang Dalin also didn¡¯t expect that during this ¡°dinner¡±, something major happened that could change the history of the Pistons This incident directly led to the disintegration of the Pistons, and the dream of three consecutive championships ended! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)nbsp; Even if the victory is indeed a bit weak, the Pistons are this year's championship No one can change this result, there is no doubt! After winning the championship, Pistons owner Bill Davidson also took the initiative to hold a feast in his mansion and invited all members of the Pistons and Dumars and other team managers. Wang Dalin also didn¡¯t expect that during this ¡°dinner¡±, something major happened that could change the history of the Pistons This incident directly led to the disintegration of the Pistons, and the dream of three consecutive championships ended! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 223 Are you really leaving? ?? In the NBA, when the team achieves good results, it is normal for the boss to invite the management, coaching staff and players to have a meal. For example, Lakers owner Buss often invites Phil Jackson or Kobe Bryant to have a meal together. Have dinner. So it is normal for Bill Davidson to entertain the heroes who won the championship. However, after this banquet, a shocking news suddenly came out from within the Pistons - Rick Carlisle will leave the Pistons! Wang Dalin called Carlisle as soon as he heard about it. Carlisle's tone on the phone seemed very relaxed: "Yes, Darling, the news you heard is true. I have indeed been fired!" Wang Dalin asked hurriedly: "What's going on? You led us to win the championship for consecutive years. No one can do it better than you Why do they want to fire you?" Carlisle smiled and said: "Darling, I can only tell youthe boss is dissatisfied with me, it's that simple!" Wang Dalin was so anxious that he cursed: "What the hell! Why should he be dissatisfied with you? We have been the championship in the past two seasons, and no team can compete with us. What else does he want? No. , I have to ask clearly!" Carlisle said lightly: "I advise you not to do this kind of thing, because you can't change anything if you ask. I'm determined to leave It just so happens that I've been very tired in the past two years, and I really want to take a good rest. !¡± Wang Dalin ignored him, hung up the phone, changed his clothes and drove to the team headquarters office. He rushed straight into Joe Dumas's office without even knocking on the door. "Qiao, I think you should give me an explanationwhat's going on?" Wang Dalin sat down on the sofa and asked this sentence with a solemn expression. Dumas saw someone suddenly breaking into his office. He was about to get angry but saw that the person was Wang Dalin, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "Darling, this mattersighit's really hard for me to follow." Please make it clear!" Wang Dalin squinted his eyes and said, "It was you and Rick who brought me to Detroit. Now that Rick is leaving, shouldn't I know the specific reason?" Dumas sighed again and said: "I knew you would get to the bottom of it, but this matter really has nothing to do with you. It's Rick He has offended many team managers, and they are eager to take action immediately. He drove them away, and of course these people did not include me!" He paused for a moment and then continued: "You know, I have always admired Rick. He is the best head coach in this league. Without him, we would never have won the championship for two consecutive years! He is the Pistons' A hero of the team, I certainly don¡¯t want him to leave us!¡± Wang Dalin thought for a moment and asked: "Rick saidit's because the boss doesn't like him, is that right?" Dumas smiled bitterly: "The most important reason is this Sigh! You know, Rick's temper has always been bad and tough. I have tried to persuade him many times, but he never listened to me ¡­The boss has already spoken and must let him leave, but there is nothing I can do!¡± Wang Dalin almost blurted out: "What if I say the team must keep him? Will the boss consider my opinion?" Although Wang Dalin was just a happy fat man in his previous life, he still read many articles about NBA stars on the Internet. The status of many leading stars in the team is not limited to the court. Some of them can even compete with the boss. Equal dialoguesuch as Jordan in the past, and Kobe and James in later generations. He didn't say this without thinking His progress in the past two seasons is obvious to all, especially in the season that just ended. Even if he made a big move and called himself "the first man in the league", it is estimated that Many people agree. If he insists on keeping Carlisle to owner Bill Davidson, I'm afraid the Pistons boss will have to carefully consider his opinion. In the previous life, I heard that a certain star "forced" the team, which caused a very bad impact, so Wang Dalin didn't want to be such a person, but if it was to keep Carlisle I don't think he would have to "force once" "Palace". Fortunately, his behavior is quite legitimate, and even if it is exposed by the media in the future, it will be nothing. At least it is much more noble than those stars who blackmail the team to provide themselves with a big contract. Maybe there will be many people giving him a thumbs up Although the NBA has always been called a cold and cruel business league, where everything is just business, people generally still admire good men who value love and justice, no matter what It's the same everywhere. Hearing what Wang Dalin said, Dumas looked surprised and then asked: "Darling, are you serious?"??eyes said. "Darling I messed up!" Dumas' voice was trembling a little, "The boss is very determined. Even if you want to leave the team, he will definitely drive Rick away!" Wang Dalin raised the backrest of the seat and asked in confusion: "It's not like they don't have any deep hatred, why are they so incompatible?" Dumas smiled bitterly and said: "Now it's not just him and Rick who are at odds with each other! Darling, your actions have obviously angered him. Just now, he has clearly given me an order You must be included in the list today." Get on the trading list!¡± Wang Dalin was even more shocked and angry now: "Is he crazy?" ¡°It¡¯s no wonder he was so gaffe-like. Davidson¡¯s attitude was so unbelievable that it was completely beyond his understanding. It is true that Carlisle does have his bad side, especially that he is stubborn, arrogant and extremely controlling. Even in today's Pistons team, young players such as Boozer and Okur are afraid of him. McGinnis, who joined the team early, also disliked him. In the original time and space, if it weren't for his bad temper, maybe he wouldn't be dismissed from the Pistons and could win the championship many years in advance. Even after he successfully led the Mavericks to the top, his relationship with some players was not harmonious. He once trash-talked Kidd. Fortunately, Kidd was an old man in his thirties at the time and knew how to tolerate and tact. , so the two of them got along well. At that time, the young and energetic Rajon Rondo couldn't stand his bad temper. The conflict between the two intensified, and Carlisle directly hid him Even though he had left the Mavericks for many years, Rondo still hated Carlisle. Carlisle led the Pistons out of the trough, and his record for two consecutive seasons was obvious to all. However, he was fired by owner Bill Davidson because of his bad temper. Larry Brown, who succeeded him, really picked the cake Just the Pistons' lineup at that time , if Carlisle continues to lead the team, won't he be able to win the championship? Wang Dalin knows all these things, but it has nothing to do with him, because no matter what, Carlisle is both a teacher and a friend to him, and it is definitely worthy of his standing up to protect him. What he couldn¡¯t believe was that Bill Davidson would rather send him away than fire Carlisle. This is simply crazy! You must know that Wang Dalin is only 21 years old this year. He is the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history, and he has also won FMVP for two consecutive years. Such a supernova with superior strength and unlimited potential He actually gave up just because he said he gave up? "Does he have shit in his head?" - Not to mention, that's what Wang Dalin was really thinking at the moment! ¡­¡­ That night, Wang Dalin had just finished taking a shower and before he could lie down on the bed, a call came from his agent Jeff Schwartz. "Darling, what happened? Why did the Pistons put you on the shelf?" Wang Dalin could tell through the phone that Schwartz was extremely surprised, and there was a bit of anger in his tone. "How do I know what old man Bill Davidson thinks?" Wang Dalin said angrily, "He wanted to fire Coach Carlisle. I went to him and said a few words, and then he hated me too!" Schwartz exclaimed: "Is there water in his head?" Wang Dalin pretended to smile relaxedly and said: "Maybe it's really water!" Schwartz paused and continued: "Okay, let's not talk about these useless things! Because the incident happened suddenly, the current situation is very complicated, but as far as I know, there are already Lakers, Spurs, Trail Blazers, Knicks The Pistons, Clippers and many other teams have made offers to the Pistons!¡± "Oh?" Wang Dalin became interested immediately after hearing this, "Tell me quickly, what price did they offer?" "The Lakers' offer is that except for Shaq, the Pistons can choose anyone else, even Kobe!" "Heythis is a big dealwhere are the other teams?" "Except for Tim, the Spurs pick randomly, which is similar to the Lakers! The other teams pick randomly, and no one on the team is not for sale!" "Haha didn't James Dolan publicly say last year that Alan Houston was not for sale to the Knicks? Do you think he was slapping himself in the face?" "Stop laughing, now I want to ask your opinionWhich team do you want to go to?" "It doesn't seem like it's up to me to decide, right? Since old man Bill insists on sending me away, can he still follow my wishes?" "Darling, his purpose is nothing more than to send you away, and then get the maximum value back to the Pistons. As for which team your next home will beit's up to Joe to decide!" ¡°I can¡¯t decide which team I want to go to right now. Let¡¯s wait until all teams have made their bids and then I¡¯ll contact you to help me analyze it, okay?¡± "Well, don't worry, I will fly to Detroit tomorrow. It seems that I have to have a good talk with Joe!" "Okay, see you tomorrow!" After hanging up the phone, Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and finally sighed and murmured: "Oh, it seems that we are really leaving!" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com)p; "I can't decide which team I want to go to right now. How about I wait until all teams have made their bids and then I'll contact you to help me analyze it, okay?" "Well, don't worry, I will fly to Detroit tomorrow. It seems that I have to have a good talk with Joe!" "Okay, see you tomorrow!" After hanging up the phone, Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and finally sighed and murmured: "Oh, it seems that we are really leaving!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 224 New team, new starting point! ?? On June 15, 2003, the local media in Detroit broke the shocking news - Pistons star Darling King was put on the shelf by the team! When this news first came out, almost everyone thought it was fake news After all, it was too outrageous, and it was simply insulting the public's IQ? But when the Pistons made the official announcement, people discoveredthis is actually true? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Did the Pistons management collectively drink fake alcohol? How could you do such a stupid thing? Uhthis situationmaybe the word "brainless" is not enough to describe it, it's just like there is shit in the head! What kind of person is Wang Dalin? The youngest scoring leader, assist leader, regular season mvp, amvp, fmvp in NBA history, the undoubted leader of the Pistons ¡° Such a 21-year-old superstar with amazing talent, as long as there are no injuries, can definitely maintain his peak for more than ten years in the future Even he has not really reached his peak yet! You actually want to send him away? ¡°How dare you say there¡¯s no shit in your head? You don¡¯t really think that you can safely and boldly send Darling King away because you were lucky enough to get the second pick this year, right? Even though this year is recognized as a big year for the draft, from the current point of view, can LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Darko Milicic, the most popular rookies in this draft, really compare to Darling? -king? Who knows? But on one side is the MVP who has already proven himself, and on the other side is the rookie who has not yet set foot in the league. A fool should know that they cannot be compared together. So for a while, the Pistons management was scolded, especially by the local fans in Detroit. They even organized tens of thousands of people to sit downstairs at the Pistons headquarters, demanding an explanation. Therefore, the Pistons officially announced another piece of news - Rick Carlisle, the two-time championship meritorious coach and head coach of the Pistons, has submitted a letter of resignation due to different coaching concepts from the team's top management. Darling-Wang also because of Carlisle Only when the head coach leaves will the team actively ask the team to trade him! As soon as this news was released, the fans who came to sit-in exploded on the spot. Some irrational fans have even begun to throw stones, glass bottles and other objects at the Pistons office buildingWho said that hooligans are the only sport in football? Basketball hooligans are no exception, okay? What do you mean? "The final analysis is because you want to fire the head coach of Carlisle. Darling-Wang can't stand it anymore and wants to replace his mentor, right?" ¡°After all¡­why do you want to fire Carlisle¡¯s head coach? "He came to Detroit and won two championships in two years. He was also the first coach in NBA history to win the Coach of the Year award for consecutive years. He is also young and capable Why do you want to fire him? ????????? Is it that explanation againthat your heads are full of shit? On June 19, the Pistons held a press conference, mainly to officially announce the news of Carlisle's departure and to answer some reporters' questions on this issue. At the press conference, Carlisle kept giving up his seat to Dumas. "Hey, man, I just sit here. I was sitting in this position when you introduced me to everyone two years ago. There is a beginning and an end, hahahaha" Carlisle always liked to joke with his friends, and he really didn't have any ill intentions towards Dumas, but these words still made Dumas embarrassed. Carlisle still looked relaxed: "You may have heard of the old saying that 'noble people forget things'. The guy at the door almost didn't let me in. This was the press conference where I was fired, hahahaha" Dumas quickly interrupted him and said: "Unfortunately, today is really uncomfortable!" Carlisle immediately responded: "It doesn't matter, you can still have fun in the future!" The reporters burst into laughter, and Dumas¡¯ face became even more embarrassed. Carlisle raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then pointed at Dumars and smiled: "If you think he is behind the scenes, you are all big fools. He is just following orders I guess after I leave, the Pistons will still be there." With a card-playing coach, you don¡¯t have to worry about the team¡¯s record at all!¡± "I still have a one-year contract with the Pistons. They will drive me away even if they lose money. It seems that I am indeed unpopular here Haha I have to pay the price for my bad temper!" "I have to thank the Pistonssp; Dumas interjected: "It's definitely fine for the boss, but the draft reference rights and trade reference rights are a bit troublesome I'll contact Elgin to ask!" He immediately picked up the phone and called Baylor, the general manager of the Clippers. A few minutes later, he put down the phone with a smile on his face and said: "Well, it's settled. He said that as long as you can go to the Clippers, you can do anything." Easy to talk about!¡± Wang Dalin suddenly felt regretful. He had indeed forgotten this just now The Clippers have a general manager who cheats people without paying for their lives. ¡° Elgin Baylor was naturally majestic when he was on the court, and his achievements were enough to make most players envious and jealous The only regret is that he never won a championship until he retired. However, since "Baylor" became the general manager of the Clippers, his various mindless operations have really made people doubt his IQ. As long as he can be "wrong" once or twice, the Clippers will not be the same until 2021. A championship, right? In 1995, the Clippers selected Antonio McDyess with the second pick, missing out on Kevin Garnett McDyess was also selected to the All-Star team during his peak period, but he was obviously more "hard" than "hard". Not even half a star, right? In 1996, they used the No. 7 pick to select the little-known Lorenzen White, successfully "avoiding" the following players: Kobe Bryant, Peja Stojakovic, and Steve Nash. , Jermaine O'Neal, "Big Z" Ilgauskas and other stars, and even the 10th overall "Second Center in the West" Eric Dampier is much better than White's guy, right? In 2001, they selected Tyson Chandler with the second pick. That¡¯s not to say that ¡°The King of Boxing¡± is not good, but no matter what, he can¡¯t compare to the No. 3 overall pick, Pau Gasol, right? In 2002, they selected Chris Wilcox with the No. 8 pick, and again missed Amare Stoudemire with the No. 9 pick. All in all, "Baylor's" draft vision is always so fresh and refined. It has been imitated and never surpassed. At this point, even the "old gangsters" have to give in. Although they picked a parallel import number one pick and were complained about all their lives, they still picked Kemba Walker and "three-goal" LaMelo Ball! Wang Dalin thought of this and said to Schwartz: "Jeff, it's up to you to talk to them next. I must get the draft reference rights and the trade reference rights!" Schwartz smiled and said: "No problem! I will contact the Clippers later today, and they will definitely agree to you!" ¡­¡­ Schwartz has always moved very quickly. Just like in the original time and space, he secured various contracts worth up to US$700 million within 12 hours after the free market opened in 2019. This time was no exception. He quickly reached an agreement with "Baylor", and Dumars also finalized the deal as quickly as possible. They only waited for the free market door to open on July 1, and the Pistons and the Clippers will make an official announcement immediately. Since he is already a member of the Clippers, of course Wang Dalin cannot be idle. He immediately looked through this year's draft information, and then made his first request to Elgin Baylor - to use the fifth overall pick in the second round to select the super shooter Kyle Coe from Creighton University. Wall! Although Wang Dalin¡¯s superb draft vision has not been widely known at this time, "Baylor" still agreed to his request. Anyway, it was only a second-round pick, and there was nothing wrong with selecting a shooter. ¡°Besides, this is Darling-Wang¡¯s first request to the team. Can he still be refused? Then, Wang Dalin began to study the Clippers' lineup. Currently, apart from Wang Dalin himself, the Clippers only have 6 players under contract, namely Corey Maggette, Quentin Richardson, Chris Wilcox, and Marco Ya. Rich, Kenyon Dulin and Wang Zhizhi. Originally there were still 7 people, but Elton Brand will be swapped with Wang Dalin, so naturally he cannot be included plus the upcoming rookie Kyle Korver, there are only 8 in total. players. Wang Dalin couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his head It seems that he has to spend more time thinking this offseason. Who made the team's general manager "Baylor"? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 225 2003 Draft ?? Wang Dalin watched the 2003 draft at his home in Detroit It was still only June 26, and before the two teams officially announced the free market, it was difficult for Wang Dalin to go to Los Angeles in advance to buy real estate. As in previous years, this draft will still be held at Madison Square Garden in New York, and the host will still be league president David Stern. "Good evening, welcome everyone to New York's Madison Square Garden. This is the 2003 NBA Draft. Friends in the United States and Canada can watch our live broadcast on TNT TV" It was the same familiar opening remarks, and the boos were like a tide. Stern had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, so he very calmly took the first envelope from the staffthe "No. 1 pick" from the Cleveland Cavaliers. choose". "With the first pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selectedsmall forward LeBron James from St. Vincent St. Mary High School!" As Stern slowly read out the name, the scene suddenly burst into joy, especially the Cavaliers managers who jumped up and hugged each other. Many of them were moved to tears. In fact, LeBron James has already been very famous. In his sophomore year, he averaged 25.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 3.8 steals per game. Not only did he lead the team to win the Ohio State championship, he himself He was also selected to the USA Today All-American First Team. In their senior year of high school, due to the huge increase in the number of high school students from St. Vincent and St. Mary, the team had to be upgraded to the more challenging second-level league. However, they achieved a good record of 23 wins and 4 losses, but they failed to win the state championship in the end. runner up. In his junior year of high school, James averaged 29 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.3 steals per game, which was an improvement from last season It was at this time that many media, including the Associated Press, gave him the title A very domineering nickname - "Emperor"! In his senior year of high school, James led the team to an astonishing record of 25 wins and 1 loss, and was named the virtual American high school basketball champion by USA Today. In this season, the only losing record was because James' svsm team was sentenced to lose due to violations. St. Vincent St. Mary High School won its third state championship this season. In the final game on March 22, 2003, in Columbus, the capital of Ohio, the team defeated the Kettering Changes 40-36. James cut 25 points and 11 rebounds. As a senior, James averaged 31.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 3.4 steals per game. In the win over Oak Hill Academy, James scored 31 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists. As a result, the St. Vincent St. Mary High School basketball team was considered to have reached the highest level in the United States. In the game against Rochester High School from Los Angeles, James scored 52 points and shot 21 of 35 from the field, shocking all the spectators present. By this time, James had appeared on the covers of Sports Illustrated and ESPN Magazine. His popularity was so great that the St. Vincent-St. Mary High School basketball team had to move their practice venue from the school gym to the nearby James Rhodes Arena at the University of Akron. NBA stars like Shaquille O'Neal also come to watch the game, and some of James' games are even broadcast on espn2 national live broadcast and local paid channels. This is hard to imagine He is only a high school player! And it is precisely because James is too strong that he participated in more than two high school All-Star games in high school, so he automatically lost the qualification to enter the NCAA So, don't say that James is unwilling to go to the college arena to prove himself. He was disqualified just because he was too strong. So you can imagine how excited the Cavaliers managers are At this moment, it is estimated that only the current team boss Ricky Davis thinks that LeBron is here to assist him, right? LeBron James walked out of the Little Green Room elegantly in a suit and leather tie, and came to the stage to take a photo with Stern I guess even he didn't expect that Stern had already regarded him as his boss as early as last year. Son? ¡­¡­ After a brief fuss, a second envelope was delivered to Stern This one came from the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons just won the championship not long ago, and now the Grizzlies actually helped them get the second pick. It really makes the management of each team jealous! ¡°With the second overall pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA draft, the Memphis Grizzlies¡¯ selection wascenter Darko Milicic from Serbia!¡± ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTIn 5.7 minutes, he can get 1.8 points, 0.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.2 steals. The shooting percentage is only 22.2%, and the efficiency value is even as low as -4.5! Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t know why this guy disappeared from the league after only playing 6 games. It¡¯s probably that the Grizzlies management couldn¡¯t stand his poor performance and just hid him. As a superstar who averages more than 37 minutes per game, Wang Dalin is quite envious of this guy This guy only played a total of 34 minutes in his career, but he actually earned a salary of US$4.15 million in three years. Are you convinced? Seeing that the Pistons actually selected such a guy with the No. 6 pick, Wang Dalin didn't know whether he should gloat or observe three minutes of silence for them. Next, the Chicago Bulls with the seventh pick selected Kirk Hinrich, the Milwaukee Bucks with the eighth pick selected T.J. Ford, and the New York Knicks with the ninth pick selected Michael Sweat. Ni, the Washington Wizards selected Chris Kaman with the tenth overall pick Poor Kaman In the original time and space, he should have been selected by the Clippers with the sixth overall pick, but in this life, because the Clippers sent this pick to Detroit, his pick was directly dropped. By tenth place, I almost fell out of the lottery. With the fifth pick in the second round, it was finally the Clippers' turn to choose a rookie for themselves. Wang Dalin couldn't help but become nervous, holding back the urge to urinate and not even daring to go to the toilet. Although Elgin Baylor had already promised that he would choose Kyle Korver, "Baylor's" various tricks are so well-known that Wang Dalin was really worried about him. "You must choose Korver You must choose Korver You must choose Korver" As Wang Dalin kept mumbling to himself, Mark Tower, who served as the host of the second round, Thum read the contents of the envelope. "With the fifth overall pick in the second round of the 2003 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected shooting guard Kyle Korver from Creighton University!" After hearing Tatum say these words, Wang Dalin finally breathed a sigh of relief Finally, he selected a high-quality role player. When I am double-teamed in the new season, I will at least have a reliable shooter. He caught the ball and shot from outside the three-point line. Kyle Korver¡¯s full name is Kyle Elliott Korver. He was born into a basketball family. His parents and two uncles all played for the college basketball team. Korver¡¯s Creighton University is not a prestigious university, but this has also made him a famous star in this school. In the 2000-2001 season, when Korver was a sophomore, he averaged 14.6 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. This increased to 15.1 points as a junior, and to 17.8 points as a senior Korver You are making progress every year and reaching a new level every year! During his junior year, Korver ranked first on the team in four categories: points, rebounds, assists and steals. As a senior, his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 48%, and he also improved on the defensive end. After four years in college, Korver made a total of 371 three-pointers. He set a team history record at Creighton University. This number also ranks sixth in NCAA history. Because Creighton University is not well-known, Korver was inherently disadvantaged in the draft. At the same time, white players like him have average physical fitness, which is not popular in the draft. In addition, James, Anthony, Bosh, Wade and others attracted most of the attention in the 2003 draft, so Korver's ranking continued to decline. In the original time and space, Korver would have been selected by the Nets with the 22nd overall pick in the second round, and then traded him to Philadelphia. In this life, his destiny has completely changed. On the surface, the fifth pick in the second round does not seem to be much better than the bottom pick in the second round. In fact, anyone knowledgeable knows that the first few picks in the second round are very good picks. In a sense Even better than the picks at the end of the first round. Wang Dalin silently counted the current Clippers lineup in his mind. Now there are only 8 people in the team including himself. The team must find ways to introduce players after the free market opens. With "Baylor's" consistent peeing, if Wang Dalin doesn't "give more guidance," who knows what kind of tricks he can do? So Wang Dalin immediately made a decision He will fly to Los Angeles tomorrow. First, he must help "Baylor" with his consultation. By the way, he should also solve the problem of his future residence in Los Angeles. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 226 Death Special Training Camp ?? As of June 27, 2003, including Kyle Korver and Wang Dalin who have not yet officially signed, the Clippers currently have a total of 9 players. They are Corey Maggette, Quentin Richardson, Chris Wilcox, Marco Jaric, Kenyon Dulin, Melvin Eli, Wang Zhizhi, Kai Kyle Korver and Wang Dalin himself among them, only Maggette was the real long-term starter last season! Maggette was born on November 12, 1979. He is 198cm tall and weighs 102kg. He is physically strong and has a strong impact. His playing style is very similar to James in the Cavaliers 1.0 period. At his peak, he averaged about 22 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 assist per game. Steals left and right. Now that the team's main power forward Elton Brand is no longer available, Wang Dalin will have to switch to power forward. After all, it is obviously inappropriate for Maggette to play power forward. If Wang Dalin switches to power forward, Maggette would be very good as the team's starting small forward According to his performance in the original time and space in the 2003-2004 season, he averaged 20.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.9 steals per game, which is quite impressive. Forced. Maggette has never been good at shooting, but his impact is very strong and his finishing rate at the basket is very high. In his entire career, he only had three seasons where his finishing rate at the basket was lower than 60%. Although his defense has been criticized, because his offensive firepower is strong enough, his efficiency value has basically been above 15 throughout his career, and it has even been above 18 in six seasons. ??In terms of efficiency, he is slightly higher than Hamilton"Third Brother" has only had an efficiency value above 18 for four seasons in his entire career. So Wang Dalin had already decided from the moment he agreed to join the Clippers that Maggette would be his second-in-command on this teamwell, it could only be him! Jaric was the team¡¯s backup point guard last season. He averaged 7.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.5 steals in 20.9 minutes per game. Overall, he should be considered a blue-collar point guard with good defense. He is from Belgrade, Serbia. He showed a very good mid-range shooting last season, and his long-distance two-point shooting rate was as high as 48.7%. To be honest, if Wang Dalin did not have the blessing of those star skills, it is not certain whether his long-distance two-point shooting rate could reach 48.7%! And Yalic is 201cm tall. In today's league, he is the tallest person at the point guard position. With such a height, Yalic's passing vision is naturally very good, and he has the virtue of most European players who are not greedy for statistics, so his number of assists cannot reflect his true organizational ability In fact, Yalic He is a tall point guard who is good at passing the ball. Based on Wang Dalin's understanding of many NBA players, Yalic is really similar to Tomas Satoransky, who later played for the Wizards and Bulls They have the same height and similar passing skills. and defensive strength. If "Baylor" cannot get a better point guard this offseason, then Yaric will definitely be the best choice for the point guard position. Although he is not excellent, he is at least qualified. There is also Quentin Richardson. This player of Wang Dalin's generation was only the team's backup shooting guard last season. However, he only played 59 games last season due to injuries, and his average data per game was lower than that in the second season. There has been quite a decline. Wang Dalin knows that he once won the All-Star Three-Point Shooting Contest and is a very good shooter, but his three-point shooting percentage last season was only 30.8%, which is obviously not his normal level. In the new season, the team also has Korver, a high-quality shooter, and the two of them can fully support the offensive firepower at the shooting guard position. As for Chris Wilcox, Kenyon Dulin, Melvin Eli and Wang Zhizhi, they are only substitutes, and it is still too reluctant to start. Due to the trade of Wang Dalin, the team sent this year¡¯s No. 6 pick to Detroit, so they were unable to select Chris Kaman as they had in history. Therefore, the most urgent thing for the team at present is to introduce a starting-level center, otherwise they will probably have to let Wang Dalin play as a guest center. After Wang Dalin flew to Los Angeles, he first went to the Clippers team headquarters to say hello to "Baylor". Seeing that Wang Dalin had arrived in advance, "Baylor" seemed particularly enthusiastic and pulled him to greet him. The team will be able to officially sign a contract with Wang Dalin in two days, so "Baylor" did not hide it from him and told him in detail about his recruitment work during this period. The team has now finalized a signing, that is, Eddie House, who performed well with the Heat last season. Like Wang Dalin, as soon as the door to the free market opens, the team will officially sign with him immediately. ??????????????????????????Said: "No problem! In fact, even if you don't come, I will rent an arena every summer to practice Uh By the way, should we give this training camp a name?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "There has to be a name. How about calling it 'Kobe and Darling-King Training Camp'?" Kobe shook his head and said: "This name is too common, not cool at all! Why don't you think about the nicknames of the two of usMy nickname is'Peter Pan Special Training Camp'? No, it's too middle-class! Use you The nickname'Death Special Training Camp'? Heythis is great! It's called 'Death Special Training Camp'!" Wang Dalin tasted it carefully and couldn't help but laugh. "Death Special Training Camp"? Very good! Starting from this summer, we will do this once a year in the future. It may become a sight in the league in the future (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 227 Sky-high Endorsement Contract ?? There is no need to worry about the "Death Special Training Camp". After all, it will take a few days for Kobe and Wang Dalin to "shake people up" How long has it been since the offseason? Who else can practice as hard as Kobe every day? Taking advantage of his free time on June 29, Kobe hurried out in the morning. His trip was to rent the arena. The arena he wants to rent is at the University of Southern California, only about three kilometers away from downtown Los Angeles Kobe has practiced here in the past few summers, and he has long been familiar with the school's senior officials. Before Kobe went out, he gave Wang Dalin a key. This was the key to his old house in Pacific Fence, north of Los Angeles. Today is an important day for Wang Dalin, because he must temporarily borrow Kobe Bryant's old house to entertain guests from ChinaLi Ning, the chairman of the "Li Ning" company, and his entourage. We haven¡¯t seen each other for two years. Li Ning¡¯s appearance does not seem to have changed, but the aura of a superior person is much stronger than before. It seems that the "Li Ning" company has developed rapidly in the past two years, and Li Ning, the "Prince of Gymnastics" back then, has become more and more powerful. Getting rich and generous. Wang Dalin and Schwartz had been waiting for them for a long time. When they saw them coming, they took the initiative to greet them. Wang Dalin and Li Ning shook hands cordially and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, if you don't come again, I can't wait any longer!" After hearing this, Li Ning laughed and said: "You brat, what do you want to do if you can't wait any longer? Sign for 'Nike' or 'Adidas'?" Wang Dalin laughed and said: "How dare I? Aren't you afraid that domestic fans will call me a traitor?" Li Ning couldn't help laughing: "How can it be that exaggerated? At most, I can only say that you are not patriotic!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "I am very patriotic. I have to go back to play in the Asian Championships in September this year!" Li Ning did not answer his question. Instead, he looked at the surrounding environment and said with some confusion: "You are quite frugal, aren't you? I thought you would buy a house in Beverly Hills!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "This house does not belong to me, I am just renting it from a friend for a few days." Li Ning suddenly realized: "I see I just said that you made so much money, how could you buy such a low-key house?" The old house located in the "Pacific Palisades" in the north of Los Angeles was bought by Kobe the year he first entered the league. As an NBA rookie, it is certainly a very good place to live, but according to Kobe's current net worth, it is obviously too low-key. After a group of people entered the house, Wang Dalin served them iced juice to relieve the heat. After taking a sip, Li Ning first said: "We have basically reached an agreement with Jeff before, now we are finalizing the details!" After saying that, he winked at his entourage, who quickly took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Wang Dalin and Schwartz respectively. In fact, "Li Ning" has started contract renewal negotiations with Schwartz in May. Last time, Wang Dalin only signed a two-year, $8 million contract. Although it included a 5% dividend on sneaker revenue, But compared to Wang Dalin's current status, it is obvious that this contract is too small. This time, "Li Ning" can be said to have suffered a lot of bleeding. It directly offered Wang Dalin a sky-high contract amount of 70 million US dollars for 7 years. But Schwartz¡¯s attitude is very strong. He made it clear that the new No. 1 pick LeBron James has not yet entered the league, and the contract he signed with Nike is already as high as 7 years and 93 million U.S. dollars. Wang Dalin cannot accept a lower price than James in any case. You know, Wang Dalin has already won an MVP and two FMVPs in the past two years. He is a superstar who has proven himself in the league. How can he not be able to compete with a rookie? But it¡¯s only 2003, what is the concept of US$93 million in 7 years? The so-called "sky-high price contract" signed by Yao Ming and "Reebok" is only 50 million US dollars for 7 years, which is only a little more than 7 million US dollars per year. Kobe Bryant¡¯s sneaker contract with Nike is only 5 years and 45 million U.S. dollars, which is exactly 9 million U.S. dollars per year. And James¡¯s seven-year, US$93 million contract averages up to US$13.286 million per year, which is higher than Wang Dalin¡¯s annual salary in the new season! Schwartz demanded that Wang Dalin¡¯s contract renewal amount be higher than that of James. Although Wang Dalin¡¯s strength and the honors he has received cannot be regarded as a lion¡¯s opening, such a high asking price still made the people at the ¡°Li Ning¡± company almost Reject directly. Therefore, the negotiations between the two parties reached a deadlock for a time. In the end, it was Li Ning himself who came forward in person to make the negotiations smoother. After more than a month of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement, and Wang DalinRegarding the contract, Li Ning was certainly not too stingy and directly signed a check of US$3 million to Wang Dalin as the signing fee. The Americans may not like this, but Li Ning thinks it should still be given. Who made Wang Dalin earn more than 100 million US dollars for the "Li Ning" company in the past two years? After receiving the signing fee, Wang Dalin suddenly beamed with joy and had to drag them out for a big meal I have to say that high-end restaurants in Los Angeles are really expensive. There were only seven people in total, and one meal cost him Nearly $100,000. In fact, the food alone is not that expensive, the main thing is the wine "Uncle Li" may indeed be in a good mood, he opened 5 bottles of "Romanee Conti" from 1990, and drank it with Wang Dalin and others. Very happy. ¡­¡­ After signing such a sky-high endorsement contract, coupled with the money he previously invested in "Kweichow Moutai" stocks, Wang Dalin can barely be considered a billionaire nowwell, a billionaire in US dollars. ! Since you are already so rich, the next step is to buy a big villa in Los Angeles. The day before, he asked Kobe to help him find a big house in Beverly Hills. Kobe was really unfamiliar with this. Later, he did buy a big villa in Beverly Hills, but that was already in 2008. . Therefore, Wang Dalin decided to find a housing agency (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 228 What kind of summer league are you playing? Come to my place and say hello! Looking for a house still has to be pushed back a little bit, because the door to the NBA free market officially opened on July 1. At 10 a.m. on July 1, the Los Angeles Clippers held a small signing ceremony and officially announced that last season¡¯s MVP and two-time FMVP winner Wang Dalin had officially joined. At this signing ceremony, another player signed with Wang Dalin to join the Clippers. He was Eddie House, Wang Dalin¡¯s best friend during his rookie season. Wang Dalin and House haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. The last time they met was at the Pistons¡¯ home game against the Heat on February 17. House didn¡¯t expect that he could be teammates with Wang Dalin again. He seemed extremely excited. When taking pictures, he held his No. 55 jersey and almost burst into laughter. Wang Dalin finally got his wish and wore the No. 7 jersey He had always worn the No. 8 for the three seasons before this. However, he still liked the No. 7 the most, but he had never been able to choose this number due to various reasons. Although Kobe was his idol in his previous life, and there was nothing wrong with wearing his No. 8 jersey, deep down in his heart he still longed to be a "bad guy" like Kevin Durant, so he has always been obsessed with Du Xiaoshuai's basketball team. I have a soft spot for the No. 7 jersey from the Nets era. And his current style of play and various skills are getting closer and closer to the peak "God of Death". Otherwise, why would the fans give him the nickname "The God of Death"? If you include the blessing effects of many star skills, he is now even more terrifying than Durant at his peak. "The outside offense is probably about the same, but Durant is definitely not as good as him in inside offense As far as Du Xiaoshuai's physical strength is concerned, it will not be considered first-class in the small ball era of later generations. There is definitely no one above 90. After signing the contract, Wang Dalin and House had a sumptuous lunch together, and then the two of them found a housing agency to solve the accommodation problem first. Eddie House didn¡¯t make much money in the first three seasons, and his commercial endorsements were meager, so he was not planning to buy real estate in Los Angeles. The housing prices in Los Angeles, no matter how low they are, are still much higher than those in Detroit. Wang Dalin spent US$500,000 on the villa along the Detroit River. The price is now estimated to have dropped below US$400,000Detroit¡¯s real estate environment makes me cry if I talk about it too much! With House's net worth, it's not unaffordable to buy a three-bedroom house in downtown Los Angeles. However, he only signed a two-year, $1.575 million contract with the Clippers, and he doesn't know what he can do here. How long would he stay, so he decided to rent a house first. This is the dilemma faced by most of the bottom players in the NBA On the surface, they all appear to be millionaires, but in fact, they only have so little money after tax, and it is difficult to buy a decent house. House just wanted to rent a two-bedroom apartment in downtown Los Angeles. This request was very simple. The staff of the housing agency quickly selected several apartments for him and took him to see the apartment. Wang Dalin was in more trouble. He followed the manager of the real estate agency to Beverly Hills to see several large villas, but he was not satisfied It's not that these houses are not good, it's because he is using future generations again. See things from a different perspective. How can the common house design and decoration concepts in 2003 compare with those in 2021? What's more, many of the houses in Beverly Hills are old houses from the last century, and some are even antique villas from the 1920s. Although their interior decorations are extremely luxurious, the exteriors do not look that good, and they are a bit dusty. sense of staleness. Maybe foreigners and Chinese people have different aesthetic values. Anyway, Wang Dalin just doesn¡¯t like this kind of old house that looks old and it¡¯s not that big in scale, and it has to be made in the style of a European castle. Is it weird that it looks good? He prefers mansions that look cool, just like the seaside cliff mansion where Iron Man was blown up in the Marvel movie, which looks full of modern technology. In fact, there are many cool-looking houses in Beverly Hills, but most of those houses were built after 2010, and there were indeed very few at this time in 2003. So he had to rent a small villa in the "flat area" of Beverly Hills. It is located south of Sunset Boulevard and the terrain is relatively flat. The housing prices are indeed much cheaper than those luxury villas halfway up the mountainside of Beverly Hills. Just like the villa rented by Wang Dalin, it has a total of 2 living rooms, 1 dining room, 1 kitchen, 4 bedrooms, 1 study room, 3 bathrooms, with a construction area of ??more than 500 square meters, and an outside area of ??more than 500 square meters. The monthly rent for a 300-square-meter courtyard is only US$27,000. ¡°If you have to buy it, it¡¯s not impossible, the price is just over 2.8 million US dollars, but Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary. &nbVarious ability values ??do not require much training at all. On the other hand, it is also because he feels that the level of the trainers and assistant coaches of the NBA team is already very good. Now, as long as the system does not release and there are no temporary tasks, he can only rely on training to improve his ability value, so at this stage, he thinks that he should really find a high-level trainer. As a senior fan, he knows a lot about famous basketball trainers in the United States, such as Tim Grover, Jordan's official trainer, Gannon Baker, who has served many NBA stars, and Eaton, who has trained stars such as Anthony and Paul. .LaVine and more. Wang Dalin called Schwartz and put forward his request. Soon Schwartz sent him good news Tim Grover agreed to be his personal trainer! If you want to say who is the best trainer in North American basketball during this period, it is estimated that everyone will say the same name - Tim Grover! When he was Jordan's personal trainer, Jordan once said to him: "I don't pay you to train me. I just don't want you to train others!" So when Jordan was still playing on the court, even in the first two seasons with the Wizards, Grover has always been Jordan's official trainer. Now that Jordan has finally retired, Grover has naturally returned to his idle state, but with his reputation, he has been looking for a lot of NBA stars. It is said that Kobe invited him to be his personal trainer a few days ago, but for unknown reasons at the time, he declined. This time Wang Dalin contacted him, and he actually agreed immediately. It seems that the "God of Death" is still more prestigious than the "Black Mamba"! Of course you get what you pay for. Schwartz has already told Wang Dalin the price of Grover. He demands an annual salary of up to US$1 million per year, and there will be absolutely no bargaining! One million U.S. dollars is naturally a sky-high price for a struggling role player like Eddie House, but for Wang Dalin, it is just a drop in the bucket The signing fee given to him by Li Ning a few days ago alone was 3 million U.S. dollars. ! Wang Dalin called Kobe and told him the good news. Kobe was also very happy. Although Grover refused to be his personal trainer, now that everyone is training together, can't they just "fuck" the trainer openly? ? So, on July 3, 2003, the first "Death Special Training Camp" officially opened (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 229 The Clippers are about to set sail ?? "Beep21:18, the white team wins!" After a long whistle, Tim Grover, who served as the referee for the five-on-five match, immediately announced the result of the game. "Hmph! Darling King, if you have the ability, don't choose Ben and Richard as teammates!" Kobe shouted with dissatisfaction on his face, "You three have been playing together for two years, and your tacit understanding is certainly better than ours. powerful!" "I told you, don't make excuses when you lose. The group results are determined by drawing lots!" Wang Dalin showed a proud smile on his face, "The eldest brother and the third brother are in my team I can only say that I am lucky! " Kobe's face turned red and he said, "You mean I can't afford to lose, right? Do you have the guts to challenge me to a duel?" "It's a one-on-one challenge, maybe I'm afraid of you?" Wang Dalin blurted out immediately, "I don't know who was beaten 10:0 by me yesterday, but you still dare to ask for a one-on-one challenge?" Kobe immediately said angrily: "You Darling King, as the saying goes, 'Hit someone without slapping someone in the face, and expose someone without exposing their shortcomings' The day before yesterday, you were beaten bald by me for two games. Did you see me yelling everywhere?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Isn't it just two rounds of baldness? What's there to be proud of? Come see how I deal with you today!" ¡­¡­ Ten minutes later, under Wang Dalin's desperate defense, Kobe hit a difficult fadeaway jumper and finally defeated Wang Dalin with difficulty 10:9. "Hahaha didn't you say you wanted to deal with me?" Kobe said with a proud smile, "Why am I still dealing with you? I'm not looking down on you. In terms of duel, you are just a younger brother to me!" Wang Dalin gritted his teeth and said: "If you have the guts, let's play another game. You see how I deal with it" "No!" Grover interrupted him and said, "You have already had a lot of training today, and you can't play one-on-one anymore!" "But I still have plenty of energy" Wang Dalin still wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Grover again. "Darling, do you still remember what I said when we first met?" Wang Dalin had no choice but to keep silent When Grover met him for the first time, just before the two parties signed the personal trainer contract, he did make three requests to Wang Dalin: First, all training must follow his arrangements; Second, all training to help others must cost extra; Third, if the first two articles are not complied with, Grover has the right to announce the end of the cooperation between the two parties at any time, and Wang Dalin must pay all current expenses. These three requirements were not written into the contract, but were just a gentleman's agreement between the two parties Of course Wang Dalin can break the contract and refuse to admit his debt, but with Grover's influence in the circle, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to hire a high-level trainer. "And youKobe!" Grover turned his head and immediately turned his fire towards Kobe, who was gloating about his misfortune. "If you want to continue to improve, give me a good rest after you go back tonight, and don't do it again at four o'clock in the morning tomorrow. Just get up and practice!" Kobe was stunned for a moment and said with a grimace: "Tim, I just want to improve myself as soon as possible and reach the level of Michael at his peak!" Grover looked solemn and said in a stern tone: "Michael also trains very hard, but he never gets up at four in the morning to practice This method will only cause harm to the human body!" Seeing the expression on Kobe's face that seemed to be a little disapproving, Grover's tone became more severe: "You are just still young. If you don't know how to take better care of your body and just blindly overdraw your life, sooner or later you will encounter something bad. Extremely serious injury!¡± At this point, he pointed at Wang Dalin and said: "Darling Wang is the best example! Last summer, if he hadn't been too exhausted in all aspects of his body due to hard training, how could he have pulled a sweat for no reason? Where¡¯s the hamstring injury?¡± Hearing this, Kobe could only show an expression of unwillingness Although his character was extremely paranoid, he knew that Grover was right. Everyone present listened very carefully, especially Wang Dalin, who suffered a hamstring strain last summer Although it was the offseason, it still directly caused him to miss last year's Men's Basketball World Championship! Grover is not just a trainer, he is also a master of mental stimulation, sports competition and physical recovery training. He knows the limits of the human body better than most people in the world! It is true that Kobe is indeed a superstar with extremely exaggerated mental attributes, but no matter how exaggerated, it cannot change the fact that his athletic ability is not as good as Jordan's. In fact, physical fitness like Jordan's is rare in the entire history of basketball. The closest person to him in future generations is probably LeBron James. &?The goal Wang Dalin has set for himself is to guarantee the second round of the playoffs, fight for the Western Conference Finals, and fight for the finals! Now, there is only one thing he and his teammates have to do, and that is to practice hard under Grover¡¯s high-level guidance! To this end, he also specially communicated with the head coach of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, Jiang Xingquan, and the leaders of the Basketball Association, and won Wang Zhizhi the privilege of returning to China with him to report. The leaders of the Basketball Association only want the Asian Championship champion, because this Asian Championship is related to the only ticket to participate in the Athens Olympics next year, and only by winning the championship can you get it. So Wang Dalin has completely issued a military order in front of the leadership. If the Chinese team cannot win the Asian Championship this time, even if the Basketball Association bans him on this, he will never complain. Precisely because he patted his chest and issued a military order, the leader agreed to Wang Zhizhi returning to the country with him to report. If someone else came to talk to the leader about this matter, it would definitely not work. Director Jiang was obviously much easier to talk to, and he immediately agreed after hearing Wang Dalin¡¯s request. After all, Wang Dalin is currently the top superstar in the NBA. As long as he comes back, plus Yao Ming, the new NBA insider, there are two NBA players Wang Zhizhi and Batter, as well as domestic players such as Li Nan, Zhang Jinsong, Fan Bin, and Sun Jun. He is an outstanding player. Winning the Asian Championship isn't it just a joke? Now, Wang Dalin leads a large group of people to train in the "Death Special Training Camp" all day long. Under Grover's high-level guidance, almost everyone is making rapid progress. Time passed day by day, and soon it was early September, and the first "Death Special Training Camp" finally ushered in the disbandment moment. NBA teams will gather all their players for training in mid-to-late September, and intercontinental competitions on all continents are about to begin. Naturally, the "Death Special Training Camp" must be disbanded. In more than a month, "Baylor" finally signed the team's starting center. His name is Alonzo Mourning Yes, it is the Alonzo Mourning who dominated the league back then! He didn¡¯t play at all last season and struggled with his kidney disease for almost the entire season. Although he didn¡¯t play a game, he received US$20.63 million in the last year of his contract from the Heat. Mourning was undoubtedly the highest paid and incompetent representative in the league last season. Probably because of this, after Mourning, who had become a completely free man, announced his comeback in mid-August, Pat Riley, who has always been cold-blooded, did not offer a decent contract to the Heat hero. Although Mourning is 33 years old and has great injury risks, he is as skinny as a camel. After all, he was also a super center second only to the four major centers back then. Sosince the Heat don't cherish it themselves, the league Teams immediately reached out to him. In the end, "Baylor" signed Alonzo Mourning with a two-year, $10.33 million contract. He will serve as the Clippers' starting center in the new season. In fact, all teams in the league are not sure about Mourning's current status, so the conditions they offer are a bit conservative, which allows "Baylor" to take advantage of the situation. However, the outside world is skeptical about Mourning's status. Most people believe that Mourning's current status is definitely not worth the average salary of more than 5 million US dollars. ESPN only gave "Baylor" a C+ rating for this operation. . But Wang Dalin knows that Mourning has a lot of gas in the tank now. In the 2005-2006 season, he replaced the injured O'Neal and started 20 games, and even had a super performance of 9 blocks in a single game. The annual salary of only about 5 million US dollars is really worth it! Mourning has joined forces, and with the addition of "Baylor" newly signed Montenegrin Biellopole's meat shield center Pedrag Drobiak, the Clippers currently have 14 people on the roster. They are: Point guards: Marko Jaric (No. 20, annual salary of $1.93 million), Eddie House (No. 55, annual salary of $750,000), Kenyon Dulin (No. 1, annual salary of $2.26 million); Shooting guards: Quentin Richardson (No. 3, annual salary of $1.81 million), Kyle Korver (No. 26, annual salary of $640,000); Small forwards: Corey Maggette (No. 50, annual salary of $7 million), Bobby Simmons (No. 21, annual salary of $640,000), Matt Barnes (No. 22, annual salary of $640,000); Power forwards: Wang Dalin (No. 7, annual salary of US$12.39 million), Chris Wilcox (No. 54, annual salary of US$2.07 million); Center: Alonzo Mourning (No. 33, annual salary of $4.92 million), Wang Zhizhi (No. 16, annual salary of $2.09 million), Pedrag Drobiak (No. 14, annual salary of $2.5 million), Mei Irvin Eli (No. 2, annual salary: $1.63 million). Although the team's 15-man roster has not yet been filled, it is enough for the new season. The head coach of the team, Mike Dunleavy Sr., is also in place. Now they are like a big ship about to embark on an expedition, about to pull anchor and set sail (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)Like a big ship that is about to embark on an expedition, it is about to pull anchor and set sail (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 230 I also like tall people ?? By the beginning of September, the signings, transactions, and team lineups of each NBA team were basically complete. The Clippers have only two shooting guards and two power forwards on their roster. Considering that Wang Dalin will serve as the starting power forward, his playing time will be at least 37 minutes, so "Baylor" reserved the last spot. To the shooting guard. Quentin Richardson is definitely good enough to be a starter, and Kyle Korver is more than enough as a backup shooting guard. But the problem is that "Baylor" doesn't know He doesn't know, head coach Mike Sr. Dunleavy doesn't know either. They both think that only two shooting guards are definitely not enough. After many searches, he found a very good one. His name was Rich Frum, an undrafted player who graduated from Gonzaga University. He is a handsome white pitcher, 196cm tall, 95kg in weight, with good strength and a good three-point shooting ability, but his athletic ability is average and his defense is tight. Therefore, Flamm unfortunately became an undrafted player in the draft. He signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Trail Blazers in September last year, but was waived in late October. In fact, Frum played well in college. He averaged 12.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game in four years of college. He hit a total of 280 three-pointers, ranking third in the history of Gonzaga University in total points. The 1,621 points also ranked fourth in school history. Maybe "Baylor" got the information about Flamm from some scout, or maybe he just wanted to sign a random shooting guard to fill the roster Anyway, Flamm is very cheap, with a non-guaranteed basic salary contract. nailed it. Wang Dalin is not very clear about these things, because the main structure of the team has already been formed, and the players signed are just corner players. Naturally, he will not interfere with the team's uniform team. If the team wants to trade key players like Maggette or Richardson, Wang Dalin will definitely not be able to sit idly by. He has the right to refer to the transaction. After the "Death Special Training Camp" ended in early September, Kobe, a training fanatic, wanted to immediately join the team's joint training. However, there was still more than half a month before the team gathered in late September, so he could only train on his own. During this period, he benefited from Wang Dalin's favor and trained for two months under the guidance of Tim Grover. Kobe had deeply understood the benefits of having a top trainer, so he also hired a very good trainer for himself. Personal trainer, he is Ganon Baker, who will become very famous in later generations. Wang Dalin, "Baylor" and head coach Old Dunleavy reported, and then flew back to Beijing with Wang Zhizhi. The Chinese men¡¯s basketball team played four warm-up matches in August. The warm-up opponents included the African powerhouses Angola and Nigeria, as well as the powerful rivals Puerto Rico and Mexico from the Americas. This time, the warm-up opponents the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team found are very strong, so Yao Ming also participated in the battle. With the remaining power of reaching the NBA Western Conference semifinals, Yao Ming performed extremely well in the first warm-up match, scoring a huge double-double of 34 points and 17 rebounds, and also sent 6 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks. , almost defeated the Angola team by himself. In the second game against Nigeria, Yao Ming's state was slightly sluggish, but Jiao Jian from the Beijing team and Du Feng from the Guangdong team both played well. In addition, Jilin team veteran Sun Jun also hit 3 consecutive hits in the third quarter. Recording three-pointers, Zeng stopped the Niriya team in one fell swoop. The two sides fought very fiercely, but at the last moment Yao Ming withstood the huge pressure and scored 2+1 in the paint twice in a row, completely killing the game. The opponent in the third warm-up match is the Puerto Rico team Friends who are familiar with basketball know that this team is a traditional powerhouse in Central and North America. It defeated the "Dream Six" team of the United States at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Quite awesome. So in this game, even though the Chinese team had Yao Ming, a powerful inside player, they were still lagging behind. It was not until the first half of the fourth quarter that the Chinese team played an 8-0 spurt and finally got the score close, but the opponent After several rounds of high-quality offense and defense, the score was opened to double digits. In the end, the Chinese team unfortunately lost 79:85 and lost the warm-up match. In the fourth game against the Mexican team, the Chinese team was full of momentum amidst the cheers of the home audience and quickly established a double-digit lead. Moreover, the players were still unconservative despite the advantage, and the point difference between the two sides became wider and wider. The bigger it gets. By the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Chinese team had led by as many as 24 points, and naturally defeated their opponents without any surprise. After a downturn in the first two games, Yao Ming exploded again in this game, scoring 27 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks in just 30 minutes of play. The Mexican team¡¯s style of play has always been??, I use all kinds of anti-human weight loss tricks on myself. As I get older, I basically have stomach problems. Zhang Zilin used to practice track and field, and her physical fitness is definitely much better than that of ordinary girls, so her weight is definitely not light. Based on Wang Dalin¡¯s visual inspection, Zhang Zilin must have weighed at least 65kg two years ago, and she was only 17 years old at the time and even had a little baby fat. However, the last time we met in Atlanta, Zhang Zilin had obviously lost a lot of weight. The baby fat on his face was completely gone, and his weight was probably just over 60kg. This time when we met again, Wang Dalin found that she had lost a lot of weight, and her weight must have been less than 60kg. If she is an ordinary girl, of course she would be a little chubby if she weighs 60kg. However, Zhang Zilin is 182cm tall. Even if she weighs 70kg, she probably won¡¯t look fat. This standard cannot be used to judge her. Zhang Zilin laughed and said: "Below 100 pounds is too exaggerated. I should probably keep it at around 115 pounds!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "You are still too thin at 115 pounds, and you are about the same at 125 pounds Sigh, I really don't understand why you models have to lose so much weight. Do you really look good if you are all skinny?" Zhang Zilin smiled and said: "How can skinny and skinny people be so exaggerated? By the waywhere do you want to go shopping first?" Wang Dalin thought for a while and said, "Should we go to see the Forbidden City first?" Zhang Zilin looked at the time: "It's almost lunch time. It's a bit too late to go to the Forbidden City. Why don't we go to the overpass for a walk?" "Overpass?" Wang Dalin didn't come back to his senses. Zhang Zilin smiled and said: "Yes, the overpass is very lively, and there are all kinds of Beijing-style snacks. We can eat and shop at the same time!" Wang Dalin suddenly asked: ¡°Is there a ¡®Deyun Society¡¯ that talks about cross talk over there?¡± Zhang Zilin said blankly: "I don't know you want to go to the cross talk? It doesn't matter, let's go and have a look first?" Wang Dalin thought for a while and said: "Okay, let's go there right away!" Beijing Film Academy is outside the Third Ring Road, and it¡¯s really not close to the overpass. The drive is about 14 kilometers. It took the two of them more than half an hour to take a taxi. It was already past 12 noon when they arrived at the overpass. It was already time for lunch, so the two of them found an authentic old Beijing restaurant and had a big meal. Zhang Zilin's eating appearance is very elegant, but he eats no less than Wang Dalin This girl seems to have lost too much weight during this period, and she can't hold back when she sees delicious food. After eating, the two of them strolled around the overpass and pretended to be eating. Wang Dalin noticed that there really was a "Deyun Society" theater here, and they had changed its name in 2003. The afternoon show started at 14:00. Wang Dalin went to buy two tickets first, both of which were good seats in the middle of the first row "Deyun Club" has not become popular these days, and it will take another year or two. If you don¡¯t come in advance to buy tickets, you may have to buy tickets from scalpers for a location like this. Zhang Zilin was very surprised why Wang Dalin, an authentic Chongqing girl, liked cross talk. She was an authentic Beijing girl. She had never been to a theater to listen to cross talk in her 19 years in Beijing. But seeing that Wang Dalin was in high spirits, she couldn't help but follow him into the small theater converted from a teahouse. Not long after, the afternoon performance officially began. The first person to take the stage was Li Jing, who performed a long Allegro to the audience. Li Jing¡¯s basic skills are of course very good, and his Allegro is quite funny. Zhang Zilin couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud from time to time After listening to this episode, her impression of cross talk was obviously much better. Wang Dalin didn¡¯t smile at all. He had heard too much about it on the Internet in later generations, and it was obvious that he was much more funny than Zhang Zilin Of course he came here to see Guo Degang. Soon he got his wish and met Guo Degang. At this time, his regular partner was Zhang Wenshun, known as the "unbalanced artist". However, Yu Qian often came to help, so Wang Dalin was lucky enough to see Guo Degang and Yu Qian partner up today. When he got on the stage, Teacher Guo smiled and threw out his welcome baggage: "There are many audiences here today, I am very happy!" In fact, there were not many spectators in the afternoon show. The theater that originally could seat more than 300 people only had about 100 people. However, the audience was obviously very considerate, and they all said: "Hey" It was the first time that Zhang Zilin saw this kind of hesitation. He thought it was quite novel and asked Wang Dalin in a low voice: "What do they mean by calling it that?" Before Wang Dalin had time to answer, he saw Teacher Guo was already hanging up on the stage: "It seems that we have a new audience here today. Just now this little girl in the audience asked everyone what this 'ugh' means. I Let me tell youit actually means 'I love you'!" The audience below immediately said "Oh" again. Zhang Zilin immediately burst into laughter. Wang Dalin also couldn't laugh or cry. He said to Teacher Guo: "If you love Teacher Yu Qian, he is your true love!" Yu Qian was obviously taken aback, but as expected of the "Queen of Crosstalk" who claims to be "able to praise everything", he was just stunned for a moment and retorted: "I can't I like tall people!" Everyone looked at Guo Degang's height, and then saw Wang Dalin sitting a head taller than ordinary people, and they all laughed. Wang Dalin glanced at Zhang Zilin beside him, smiled at Yu Qian and said, "Let's go to each other, I also like tall people" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com)??¡­actually means ¡®I love you¡¯! " The audience below immediately said "Oh" again. Zhang Zilin immediately burst into laughter. Wang Dalin also couldn't laugh or cry. He said to Teacher Guo: "If you love Teacher Yu Qian, he is your true love!" Yu Qian was obviously taken aback, but as expected of the "Queen of Crosstalk" who claims to be "able to praise everything", he was just stunned for a moment and retorted: "I can't I like tall people!" Everyone looked at Guo Degang's height, and then saw Wang Dalin sitting a head taller than ordinary people, and they all laughed. Wang Dalin glanced at Zhang Zilin beside him, smiled at Yu Qian and said: "Let's get along, I also like tall people" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 231 Actually became a small shareholder of Deyun Society? ?? A few hours later, Wang Dalin finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish to listen to Guo Degang¡¯s cross talk live, and Wang Dalin walked out of the theater with a satisfied look on his face. Zhang Zilin also heard cross talk in a theater for the first time. It can be said that she fell in love with it immediately. After learning about the ticket price, she decided to come here often when she is free in the future. As soon as they walked out of the theater door, someone from behind shouted: "Mr. Wang, please wait a moment!" Wang Dalin looked back and saw that it was Guo Degang and Yu Qian. They had taken off their coats and were wearing loose T-shirts, home shorts, and plastic sandals on their feet. "Teacher Guo, Teacher Yu, youwhat's going on?" Wang Dalin was a little confused. It was the first time that he saw these two people showing off in this image. They all said that Teacher Guo was a fat little black man. In his previous life, he was a little disapproving when he watched the video How could it be so dark? ¡° Looking at it from such a close distance, Teacher Guo is really dark Maybe it¡¯s because he paid attention to sun protection after becoming popular for two years, right? "Mr. Wang, brother Qian'er told me just now when we got off the stage. It turns out that you are the corner of our Chinese men's basketball team. I'm so sorry. I don't usually watch TV, so I really don't know you!" Guo Degang said with a smile. , "Teacher Yu meansplease come and sit backstage and have a sip of tea before leaving!" Yu Qian also smiled and said: "That's right, Dalin, this is my first time seeing you, let's go in and chat for a while Uh, how do I feel about talking to Guo Qilin?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Teacher Yu, I don't like you taking advantage of me I'm not going to accept you as my teacher!" Yu Qian smiled and said: "It seems that you are really familiar with us, Dalin. You even know that Guo Qilin is my apprentice Let's go in and chat for a while!" Wang Dalin looked at Zhang Zilin, who smiled and said, "What are you looking at me for? People have come out to invite you, why are you so pretentious?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "It's almost dinner time, let's not delay Teacher Yu and his friends' evening performance!" Guo Degang smiled and said: "It's okay, Teacher Yu will not participate in this evening, Mr. Zhang and I will have a business deal!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!" Several people came to the backstage of the theater together. Guo Degang had a separate lounge here, which happened to be a reception room at this moment. Guo Degang came in with a teapot, poured a cup for everyone, and said with a smile: "I have a distinguished guest here today, but I took out all the Longjing tea that Teacher Yu gave me I can't taste good ones anyway, you two Give me some gifts!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Thank you for your praise, Teacher Guo. I don't usually drink tea, how can I taste it?" Guo Degang said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you are so politeI just tried to beat you two up on the stage. I'm so sorry!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Mr. Guo, you are too polite. It should be my honor to be beaten by you!" Yu Qian said: "Dalin, are you coming back to report for the national team this time?" Wang Dalin nodded and said: "Yes, report before September 15th. While there is still some free time in these two days, I will walk around Beijing." Teacher Guo couldn¡¯t help but joke again: ¡°Isn¡¯t it just as simple as walking around?¡± Yu Qian immediately reacted and said: "The main thing is to spend time with my girlfriend, we all understand!" Zhang Zilin couldn't help but blush, and immediately couldn't help laughing. Wang Dalin didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry: ¡°You two haven¡¯t had enough fun together on stage, why don¡¯t you drag us backstage for another session?¡± Guo Degang smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, these are all professional habits! I don't know much about your basketball sport, but Brother Qian'er is an expert!" Yu Qian waved his hand and said: "What kind of expert? I am just a basketball lovernot just basketball, I also like football." Wang Dalin nodded and said, "No, basketball and football are not among Teacher Yu's three hobbies, right?" Yu Qian and Guo Degang were both stunned. Guo Degang asked: "Teacher Yu's three major hobbies? Why don't I know?" "Smoking, drinking, and perming your hair?" Wang Dalin said with a smile, "Who doesn't know these three hobbies of Teacher Yu?" Guo Degang couldn't help being stunned, and then he slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Okay, that's so expressive Brother Qian'er, Mr. Wang you three chat first, I have to save some small baggage quickly, so I won't accompany you." Got it!" After saying that, Guo Degang got up and went out. For a moment, Wang Dalin, Zhang Zilin and Yu Qian were all stunned. Zhang Zilin asked in confusion: "Teacher Yu, what's wrong with Teacher Guo?" It took Yu Qian a long time to come to his senses and smiled.??, I'll be waiting for you on the stage' Haha, that's when the real joy comes from suffering! " Zhang Zilin couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She thought Guo Degang was joking again. Wang Dalin did not laugh. He knew this was true because in his previous life, when he was watching videos online, he heard Guo Degang say this in cross talk many times. "Teacher Guo, do you think this is okay?" Wang Dalin organized his words and asked, "I like cross talk very much, and you guys said it well. I want to invest a sum of money in Deyun Society, just 5 million. Mainly because I want to support cross talk Just give me 5% of the shares, okay?" Guo Degang and Yu Qian's expressions immediately changed. Guo Degang thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Wang, you you only want 5% of the shares for 5 million. This is not appropriate! How about I give you 20% of the shares?" ? Don¡¯t be too little, I don¡¯t have the final say in this garden alone, Mr. Zhang Wenshun and my junior brother Li Jing are also the founders, so it¡¯s not appropriate to give you too many shares.¡± Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Just 5% I am very optimistic about you. Deyun Club will definitely become popular in the future. 5% of the shares is a lot. I am afraid that you will regret giving me even 5%." There are too many!¡± Guo Degang said hurriedly: "How is it possible? You calculated it based on 100 million. Could co-authoring our Deyun Society be worth more than 100 million?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "In ten years, what will one hundred million mean? Deyun Club will probably be worth more than one billion by then!" As soon as these words came out, Guo Degang and Yu Qian were both shocked, and Zhang Zilin could not help but be stunned. Wang Dalin continued: "So don't think I want too much. Give me 5% of the shares. I will definitely take advantage. Just don't regret it in the future!" Guo Degang thought for a long time and finally said: "Okay, then it will be 5%. Thank you Mr. Wang for your generous donation!" After saying that, he stood up, cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Wang Dalin. Wang Dalin quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "Teacher Guo gives such a big gift, how can I bear it? Come on, I will invest another 1 million to make this gift!" Guo Degang wanted to say something more, but Wang Dalin immediately interrupted him and said: "Just invest 1 million more. Teacher Guo, don't refuse 6 million can account for 5% of the shares in Deyun Society. In a few years, you You know I got a big advantage!" Guo Degang said: "Okay, Mr. Wang, you are a gentleman, and Guo is no longer pretentious! I will ask Teacher Yu to entertain you two for a drink today, and I will contact you tomorrow when I have time!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Okay, I will bring you the money tomorrow!" ¡­¡­ That night, Wang Dalin and Zhang Zilin were taken to a time-honored restaurant by Yu Qian, and the three of them had a good meal. I have to say Teacher Yu really loves to drink. First he brought a small bottle of half a catty of liquor, which was only a little bit drunk, and then he drank a lot of beer. If this really happens, maybe the famous "car accident live version" "Fenhe Bay" will be staged in advance. Wang Dalin¡¯s drinking capacity was average, and it was impossible for Zhang Zilin to drink vigorously in such an occasion. Even so, by nine o¡¯clock in the evening, the two of them drank a lot, and they were walking a little swaying. After the three of them separated, Wang Dalin first sent Zhang Zilin back to the school dormitory, and then he hurried back to the hotel. He forced himself to take a shower, fell on the bed and fell asleep. Early the next morning, Wang Dalin woke up and found that it was only after 7 o'clock After all, he is an athlete with good physical fitness and a young man, so his hangover recovery function is much better than that of ordinary people. I washed up slowly and leisurely, then found a place to have breakfast, and then went to the bank for a walk. Before leaving yesterday, Guo Degang had already copied his bank account number to him Of course, such a large amount can only be transferred. If he really wants to withdraw so much cash, let alone whether he can withdraw it based on his VIP status. If he could take it out, he would have to hire someone to escort it. After all, he was a VIP, so his transfer only took a total of ten minutes. With the transfer receipt in hand, he found a law firm and hired a lawyer, who then took him to the Deyun Club Tianqiao Theater. Guo Degang has been waiting here for a long time. The two parties drafted a contract and signed it under the witness of the lawyer. Wang Dalin got 5% of the shares of Deyun Club, while Guo Degang got 6 million soft sister coins in cash. After walking out of the theater, Wang Dalin felt as if he was in a dream Unexpectedly, a date between him and Zhang Zilin actually led to him becoming a minority shareholder of Deyun Club. In Xiao Yueyue's words it was amazing. ! Of course, 6 million soft sister coins is only more than 700,000 U.S. dollars. With his annual salary of 12.39 million U.S. dollars in the new season, he will earn more than this amount by playing 5 regular season games. This can only be regarded as a trivial matter. What¡¯s the big deal? Nonsense, of course you are dating Zhang Zilin? There are only a few days left until the last registration time on September 15th (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)p; What¡¯s the big deal? Nonsense, of course you are dating Zhang Zilin? There are only a few days left until the last registration time on September 15th (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 232 Wang Dalin stays out at night? ?? In order to facilitate the date, Wang Dalin directly rented a cara 2001 "Hummer H1"! There is no way, he is too tall, and he has to lower his head when sitting in an ordinary car. This is the largest SUV that can be rented from car rental companies in Beijing. Driving such a domineering "Hummer H1" to the entrance of Beijing Film Academy will of course attract special attention, so Wang Dalin always waits for Zhang Zilin in a parking lot near Beijing Film Academy. He really doesn¡¯t care about being photographed by reporters, but if he can avoid being photographed, naturally it¡¯s better to have one less thing than one more thing! So during this period of time, they visited almost all the scenic spots in Beijing and surrounding areas, such as the Forbidden City, Old Summer Palace, Summer Palace, Badaling, Xiangshan They left their footprints everywhere. The two young hearts, the love between them The distance is getting closer. It can be said that if their relationship before could only be regarded as "above AUO, but not yet full of lovers", now it is really "full". It¡¯s a pity that happy time is always so short. After having lunch with Zhang Zilin on September 14, Wang Dalin could only say goodbye to his beloved girl temporarily He had to report to the national team. ¡­¡­ The lineup of this year's Chinese men's basketball team has changed a lot from the past, mainly because Jiang Xingquan boldly introduced many new players under the guidance of Jiang Xingquan. The 12 players selected for the national team's roster are - Center: Yao Ming (Golden State Warriors), Shane Batter (Detroit Pistons), Wang Zhizhi (Los Angeles Clippers); Power forwards: Wang Dalin (Los Angeles Clippers), Jiao Jian (Beijing Shougang), Du Feng (Guangdong Hongyuan); Small forwards: Sun Jun (Jilin China FAW), Zhang Jinsong (Bayuan Lu); Shooting guards: Zhu Fangyu (Guangdong Hongyuan), Li Nan (Bayuan Lu); Point guards: Fan Bin (Bayuan Lu), Liu Wei (Shanghai Oriental), Guo Shiqiang (Liaoning Panpan). In fact, Zhu Fangyu and Li Nan are both small forwards in their respective clubs, and Li Nan sometimes even moves to the fourth position. However, in the national team, they are both shooting guards, mainly because of their three-pointers. The ball is more accurate than Sun Jun and Zhang Jinsong. Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but be happy after meeting his teammates. There are still a lot of old acquaintances, and the newcomers are also very good at fighting If I really want to fight my opponents again like the last time, they seem to be stronger than the last time! There is still about a week before the opening of this Asian Championship. The team only conducts some basic training every day, mainly to maintain good condition before the competition. Wang Dalin didn¡¯t care about the team¡¯s training arrangements. In addition to conducting tactical drills and group confrontations with his teammates, he still insisted on completing various training sessions designed for him by Grover. After seeing Wang Dalin¡¯s training, except for Wang Zhizhi, who was already used to it, everyone else was shocked. Even last season¡¯s teammate Barter was shocked Isn¡¯t this training too harsh? No wonder they were surprised, even Wang Dalin couldn't bear it at the beginning Think about it, even with his 90+ physical fitness, how much training is required? So, regardless of the fact that Grover taught Wang Dalin and Kobe Bryant a lesson and did not allow them to overtrain, in fact it was because he had already almost exhausted his training volume. If he practiced more, he would be easily injured. Yao Ming was very interested in his extreme training. He originally wanted to practice with him, but Wang Dalin sternly refused. Are you kidding me? ¡°With your physique, Chairman Yao, if you dare to practice like this with me, I guarantee that I¡¯ll wear you out in less than two weeks! Looking at the entire history of the Chinese men's basketball team, it is estimated that only the "Brother of the Arab League" who was selected in later generations is barely qualified to practice like this, and pay attention he is only "probably barely" qualified! There is no way, the physical fitness of Huang Zhongren players is indeed difficult to match that of black players. Even though Yi Jianlian claims to have the "ceiling of yellow players" physical talent, they are probably no more than ordinary black players. If Wang Dalin had not been possessed by the "Guard System", his physical talent would probably be similar to that of Zhou Qi in later generations, so Dear readers, stop saying "Why do you have to have a system?" If there is no system, , Lao Wang writes a remake of Zhou Qi, only then will ghosts be willing to read it? ?? Let¡¯s go back to the Asian Championships. This Asian Championship is held in Harbinit is a local competition, and there are many good players in the team. Jiang Xingquan is very relaxed. As he said in an interview with reporters before - "If we cannot win the Asian Championships this time, I will lead everyone toThe main force Wang Dalin stays up at night"! The article also attached two extremely clear photos, which are the scenes of him and Zhang Zilin kissing I didn't expect that the night photography function of cameras has become so powerful these days, and it can actually take such clear photos? "Last night, the Chinese men's basketball team won the first game with a score of 123:44. This should have been a great thing for the whole country to celebrate, but just before 12 o'clock last night, our reporter accidentally discovered an extremely bad thing - Wang Dalin, the main player of the Chinese men's basketball team, went out privately to date a young woman. The two kissed passionately and then went straight into the hotel. As of press time, Wang Dalin had not returned to the hotel where the Chinese men's basketball team was staying" "Is a big victory over Syria our end? Shouldn't our goal be to win the championship of this Asian Championship?" "During such a big battle, the main players of the team went out privately and stayed up all night. The management is so chaotic and disorderly. What can the Chinese men's basketball team do to win the championship of this Asian Championship?" ¡°To take a step back, even if the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team has absolute strength, they can beat all their opponents in this Asian Championship and finally win the championship, but can this cover up the bad impact of this incident?¡± "We want to ask Wang Dalin who gave you such privileges? Just because you are an NBA star, can you do whatever you want?" "We also want to question Director Jiang Can you manage this men's basketball team well? If not, I think every responsible Chinese fan can help you manage it!" ¡­¡­ Wang Dalin's face turned livid the more he read it. He managed to read it patiently and threw the newspaper on the dining table: "Director Ji, I came back at around 12 o'clock last night and sold my leave to Director Jiang. Director Jiang and General Jiang can testify to this!" Ji Zhixin still frowned: "But this matter is very difficult to deal with now The war is about to begin. If we start a fight with them, it will have a very bad impact, right?" Wang Dalin was already furious: "The damn influence is not good! Director Ji, let me handle this matter myself You dare to deliberately smear me and the Chinese men's basketball team. I have to kill him." He can't!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 233 Devastated ?? Crisis public relations - At this time in 2003, it is still unclear whether this word has appeared in China, but Wang Dalin, who comes from a later generation, is naturally familiar with it. After all, as a senior otaku, he has eaten countless times online. Entertainment star's melon. If nothing else, the "Eagle County Incident" that originally happened to Kobe in time and space was an extremely bad event that almost ruined his career. Think about it, how did Kobe conduct crisis public relations after the incident? He first publicly apologized to the people of the United States and frankly admitted his crime of "adultery"note that it was "adultery" and not "rape"! Although there is only one word difference, the meanings between the two are worlds apart! Unlike China, there is the crime of "adultery" in American law. That is, behaviors such as "keeping a mistress" and "keeping a mistress" that everyone is accustomed to in China are all crimes in the United States. "However, compared with "rape", the crime of "adultery" is undoubtedly much smaller. Just like in our country, even if this type of behavior is really punished, it is only condemned by the world's morals. "Rape" requires jail time! After a tearful apology, Kobe bought his wife Vanessa a diamond ring worth $4 million It was an 8-carat purple diamond, which is extremely rare. After winning back the heart of his beloved wife, Kobe could face the huge pressure from all sides without any worries. He frequently appeared in court while rushing to play games. Finally, through civil mediation, the incident was finally settled. Of course, Kobe¡¯s legal team played a decisive role in this incident, especially the various evidence they collected, which made the hotel maid withdraw the lawsuit in despair. ¡°However, everything Kobe did right after the incident can be regarded as an extremely wonderful crisis public relations. ¡°If he hadn¡¯t done that, or if he hadn¡¯t achieved such good results, his career might have ended prematurely before the other party withdrew the lawsuit. So Wang Dalin immediately called his agent Schwartz after eating breakfast and told him the matter in detail. Fortunately, since Wang Dalin returned to China to play games, Schwartz, with the attitude of trying his luck in China regardless of whether he has money or not, has flown to China, but he is now in Shanghai. After hearing about this incident, Schwartz flew to Beijing at around 1 pm on September 24, and traveling with him was Mark Steinberg, a master of crisis public relations. After they arrived in Beijing, they immediately contacted the most famous law firm in Beijing, sent a lawyer¡¯s letter to the Harbin Morning News in the shortest possible time, and published public statements in major media in the north. "In response to today's "Harbin Morning News" report about Mr. Wang Dalin kissing and staying out all night with his female friend, our law firm solemnly declares:" "First, it is true that Mr. Wang Dalin dated a female friend, but "kissing" and other behaviors are citizens' privacy. The "Harbin Morning News" report published the photos without permission, which has seriously violated Mr. Wang Dalin's personal privacy rights!" "Second, Wang Dalin asked for leave from China Nalan head coach Mr. Jiang Xingquan when he went out, and returned to the hotel within the time limit for leave. There was no 'private outing' or 'staying out at night' as reported in the Harbin Morning News. The "Harbin Morning News" report was seriously inaccurate and had an extremely negative impact on the reputation of Mr. Wang Dalin and the Chinese Men's Basketball Team!" "In this regard, our law firm expresses solemn protest and has taken legal action. We sincerely hope that media from all walks of life will stop making such false reports." "This is a statement!" This public statement was published in the newspapers at around three o'clock in the afternoon on September 24, but media reporters wanted to dig out more shocking information. They swarmed in and almost completely surrounded the venue where the Chinese men's basketball team trained in the afternoon. This afternoon training session was supposed to be an open training, but because there were too many reporters on site and thousands of spectators, Ji Zhixin was extremely nervous and directly changed the open training to a closed training and strictly ordered all Chinese men's basketball coaches to Team members and players are not allowed to be interviewed by reporters. So when the men's basketball players left the arena after training, even though they were chased and intercepted by reporters, they didn't say a word and got on the bus directly after the security opened the way. Only Wang Dalin was annoyed by the reporters and yelled at them - "Facts are facts, no one should think of wronging anyone!" That night, the opponent of the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team was the Chinese Taipei team, another recognized underdog in this group. Wang Dalin played a total of 31 minutes in this game and made 19 of 24 shots, including 7 of 9 three-pointers and 11 of 12 free throws. He scored 56 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks. &nThey were all very powerful, and most of the wonderful passes Wang Dalin sent them were converted into points. Especially Yao Ming He made a total of 15 of 25 shots in this game, including 2 of 3 three-pointers and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 40 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks. This is the first time Yao Ming has scored 40+ points in an international competition. Of course, people are not surprised. After all, he has proven himself in the NBA last season. He will definitely be able to become another super center in the NBA in the near future. . On September 27, the Harbin Morning News finally gave in. They sent representatives to find Schwartz and others, hoping to reconcile privately. Schwartz had already sought Wang Dalin¡¯s opinion, so he directly rejected the other party¡¯s request. Just kidding? "You want to slander me, just slander me?" Now that you feel stressed out, you want to reconcile? And you, uncle! It has to be said that Wang Dalin's character is still similar to that of his previous life when he was an otaku. Although he is usually very kind to others, if he is really annoyed, he will definitely get angry. This time it was like thishe was really angry. So even though Ji Zhixin and Director Jiang have come to persuade Wang Dalin, Wang Dalin is still unwilling to reconcile with the other party. In addition to asking the other party to publicly apologize, he must also let them be punished by law! ?????????????? There is no limit to the amount of things like mental damage fees. If it is less, it may only be a few hundred yuan, and if it is more, it is not impossible to have millions. Considering the reputational damage caused to Wang Dalin by the "Harbin Morning News", shouldn't this lawsuit be filed with a compensation amount of several million? Of course, you can¡¯t rush a lawsuit. Sometimes a lawsuit can last for months or even years. Anyway, Wang Dalin is determined to fight with the other party about this matter. He doesn¡¯t need to worry about the lawsuit. Zhang Zilin has also returned to Beijing with their model team, so Wang Dalin is still focusing on the Asian Championships. In the second game of the second stage, the Chinese team¡¯s opponent is Lebanon uh, this unlucky thing again! When these two teams met, it was like enemies meeting each other, and they were extremely jealous! The bloody battle two years ago is still fresh in Chinese fans¡¯ minds, how can the Chinese men¡¯s basketball players forget it? If nothing else, the scar on Wang Dalin¡¯s back is still clearly visible! So one can imagine what kind of attitude the Chinese team had when playing against the Lebanese team? At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team frequently succeeded in strong attacks in the interior. Yao Ming's dunks, Wang Dalin's dunks, Wang Zhizhi's dunks, Li Nan's dunks In the first quarter, the Chinese team made a total of 14 of 24 shots, including dunks. The goal accounted for 7 times. The Lebanese team is almost still the same team from two years ago. Logically speaking, their strength is not bad. However, the loss in the fight two years ago caused a huge psychological shadow on them. Their state was extremely poor this night. , not even as good as Syria They only scored a total of 7 points in the first quarter, and they were all free throws, not a single goal in sports! Looking at the decades of history of the Asian Championships, there have indeed been many weak players. Some of them can indeed go without scoring a point for 10 minutes, so it is not surprising that the Lebanese team scored zero points in a single quarter. But they are the Lebanese team! Although they are not as good as the Chinese team, the Asian giant, they are at least a well-known team in West Asia, right? When have they ever experienced such humiliation? In the second quarter, the Lebanon team finally recovered a lot. They finally scored in sports battles, and their shooting percentage began to gradually increase. But Wang Dalin soon hit three consecutive three-pointers to stop the game. When he came back after the timeout, the Lebanese team's sports battle failed again. This situation lasted until the end of the game. In the end, the Chinese team gave the Lebanese team a "58 tragedy" with 117:59 that they will never forget. In this game, Wang Dalin scored 39 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, finally scoring his first triple-double in this Asian Championship. On the evening of September 28, in the last game of the second stage against the Japanese team, Wang Dalin was even more energetic. He made 16 of 27 shots from the field, including 6 of 9 three-pointers and 13 of 14 free throws. He scored 51 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks. The Chinese team also easily defeated the Japanese team 119:62, thus advancing to the semi-finals with a complete victory. The opponent in the semi-finals is the Qatar team, which is also a strong team in West Asia. In this Asian Championship, they have defeated the Jordan team, the Philippines team, the Japanese team, the Kazakhstan team and the Iranian team. In addition to losing to South Korea by a small score of 80:87 The team won one game and won all other games. But Wang Dalin didn¡¯t take the Qatar team seriously at all. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If they are to naturalize a large number of overseas stars in the future, maybe Wang Dalin will pay more attention to them, but now it is just a plate of slightly chewy dishes! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The Irish team takes it seriously. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If they are to naturalize a large number of overseas stars in the future, maybe Wang Dalin will pay more attention to them, but now it is just a plate of slightly chewy dishes! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 234: Dominating the Asian basketball world in the next 15 years is not enough, right? (First update today) There was still no suspense in the semi-final against Qatar. The Chinese team had the absolute upper hand from the beginning and widened the point difference. By the middle of the fourth quarter, it had led by more than 30 points. In the end, the defending champion Chinese team easily defeated this West Asian team 106:71, thus successfully advancing to the championship and runner-up finals. In the other semi-final, the South Korean team and the Lebanese team played a very fierce match. After 40 minutes of fierce battle, the two sides were tied, and the winner could only be decided through overtime. In the end, the South Korean team was superior and narrowly won 85:83. As in the original history, the two teams in the 2003 Men's Basketball Asian Championship finals were still the Chinese team and the South Korean team. Wang Dalin definitely still remembers this final in his previous life, because it was not easy for the Chinese team to win that game. This can be seen from the final score - 106:96. The Chinese team seemed to be in a good situation, but it was only Beat the opponent by 10 points. I have to say that once the South Korean team's three-pointers were opened, it was indeed quite terrifying Even though there were many good players in the Chinese team such as Yao Ming, Battelle, Jiao Jian, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, etc., in the third quarter He was almost caught up by the Korean team's three-point rain. At the end of the game, the Korean team had no choice but to implement foul tactics. However, the Chinese team¡¯s veteran Fan Bin hit all six consecutive free throws. The Korean team was finally unable to make a comeback and could only swallow the bitter pill of failure with regret. Since they are both East Asian teams with yellow players, the South Korean team has been imitating the Chinese team¡¯s style of play. It was not until China¡¯s ¡°Three Moving Great Walls¡± appeared that the two teams¡¯ styles of play became hugely different. In fact, the South Korean team¡¯s style of play is exactly the same as that of the Chinese team before Wang Zhizhi¡¯s rise. They are both ¡°small, fast, smart¡± and have accurate outside shots. To be honestthe Korean team's three-point shooting is even more accurate than that of the Chinese team! So during the training on the morning of October 1st, Director Jiang focused on practicing the outside defensive tactics against the South Korean team's three-pointers. This tactic boils down to one thing - "Let the sudden attack happen but not the throw"! With Yao Ming, the Optimus Prime, guarding the basket, and Wang Dalin, a world-class assist defense expert, the Chinese team is not afraid of the South Korean team rushing in, because if you rush in, you will not have a chance to take action. As for the offense with the physical talent of the Korean team players, no matter how hard they work, they will definitely not be able to prevent the Chinese team's inside attack. And with Wang Dalin in the Chinese team in this generation, the offensive tactics are undoubtedly richer than in the original history, and the offensive ability is stronger, so Director Jiang has not worried about offense at all. On October 1, 2003, on the evening of National Day, when the whole country was celebrating, the Asian Championship final between the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team and the South Korean men¡¯s basketball team finally started. The starting lineup of the Chinese team is center Yao Ming, power forward Wang Dalin, small forward Sun Jun, shooting guard Li Nan, and point guard Fan Bin; The South Korean team¡¯s starting lineup is center Ha Seung-jin, power forward Kim Joo-sung, small forward Qiu Seung-yun, shooting guard Moon Kyung-eun, and point guard Lee Sang-min. Probably because he failed to control the timing of his jump, Yao Ming unexpectedly lost the jump ball, and the South Korean team won the first attack. After Li Sangmin dribbled the ball past half court, he opened a gap under the cover of Jin Zhousheng, and forced a three-point shot despite Wang Dalin's interference and it actually went in! This goal was so incredible that even Wang Dalin couldn't help being surprised. He has tried his best to provide interference. Even if Ray Allen or Peja Stojakovic, the strongest three-pointers in the NBA, are allowed to shoot this kind of ball, it is estimated that there is a high probability that it will be hit. This Lee Sang-min actually shoots In! Lee Sang-min was born in 1972. He is the second-oldest veteran in this Korean team after Moon Kyung-eun. He is only 183cm tall and weighs only 77kg. No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary little point guard. But his three-pointers are really accurate Well, this refers to the three-pointers according to Fiba rules, which is 55cm closer than the NBA's three-point line! Looking back, Wang Dalin received the ball at the top of the three-point arc and made a direct pull-up. The ball went straight through the basket like a precision-guided missile without even moving the net. This "answer-ball" was played very domineeringly, and the audience immediately gave him warm applause and cheers. In fact, Wang Dalin no longer feels much about the cheers or boos from home and away fans, but he knows that the atmosphere on the scene will have a great impact on his teammates, so he will unswervingly play this response ball. According to Jiang's pre-game plan, the Chinese team's first attack should have been passed to Yao Ming to attack under the basket Just like the South Korean team's starting center Ha Seung-jin, he is also 221cm tall and weighs more. It is much heavier than Yao Ming, actually??It needs a good training. After Wang Dalin finished speaking, the four outstanding young people looked very excited. Yes Being able to contribute my own modest contribution to the future of Chinese basketball is undoubtedly a lofty goal. However, Wang Dalin also knew that the process would be extremely difficult, so the treatment he offered to everyone present was also very high, at least more than double their original income. His goal is very simple, that is, to allow Chinese basketball to continue to develop in a healthier way, instead of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi quitting the game as soon as they retire, or even Yi Jianlian, who is more than thirty years old, still struggling to support China. The last bit of dignity for the men¡¯s basketball team. ¡°He can invest a lot of money for this, and may even invest more every year in the future, just to find a few more good prospects for Chinese basketball. Coming from a later generation, he certainly knew how bad the situation of the Chinese men's basketball team was at that time, and there was almost no one among the young players who could take the lead. ¡°He really doesn¡¯t believe it anymore¡­ China has a population of more than one billion. Is it true that once Yao Ming retires, he will no longer be able to find a few basketball geniuses? It¡¯s not that there aren¡¯t people with extraordinary talents, it¡¯s that they haven¡¯t been able to get attention since childhood, and they lack scientific training. When they reach adulthood, it¡¯s too late to practice. If these people can get help from an early age, eat more nutritiously, and get guidance from professional trainers, with China¡¯s huge population base and strong basketball base, a second Yao Ming or a second Yao Ming may not be possible. Yi Jianlian. ¡°If Wang Dalin can discover the second Yao Ming, the Chinese team will continue to dominate Asia, and the Japanese team will definitely not be our opponent. And dominating Asia is not Wang Dalin¡¯s ultimate dream. A mere Asian championship is definitely not enough to cheer up the Chinese people. He has already set his sights on the Athens Olympics a year later (Remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 235 Now I¡¯m here, I¡¯m not used to losing! (Second update today) After staying in China for another three days, Wang Dalin finally boarded the plane back to Los Angeles. The advantage of moving to a big city team is that you can fly directly to Los Angeles from Beijing, which was not possible in Detroit before and you had to transfer. The training camp of the Clippers has already started on September 25. Wang Dalin missed a lot of training because of the Asian Championships. Now of course he must return to the team as soon as possible to report. Although he is quite satisfied with the team's lineup for the new season, if the players' tacit understanding is not enough, it will be difficult to form a synergy no matter how strong their individual abilities are, so a lot of joint training is necessary. For example, the Nets in the 2020-2021 season are undoubtedly the best in the league based on their lineup strength. However, their "Big Three" are always injured in the regular season. As a result, the "Big Three" can play together in only 7 games. Field, obviously not enough running-in. That¡¯s why they lost to the Bucks in the second round of the playoffs Of course, Antetokounmpo stepping on Irving was a key turning point, otherwise the Nets would still have the upper hand even without Harden. Coach Mike Dunleavy coached the Lakers, who had a lot of gorgeous offense, and later also coached the Trail Blazers, who were famous for their defense, so he is not the kind of head coach who only relies on one tactic to conquer the world. For example, if you ask Larry Brown or Jeff Van Gundy to coach a run-and-gun team like the Suns or Mavericks, they will probably die of worry. Coach Dunleavy is obviously very good at "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude." When he was with the Lakers, he gave full play to the offensive talents of "Magic" and "Cobra". When he was with the Trail Blazers, he could also make Rasheed Wallace. , Scottie Pippen, Arvydas Sabonis and others demonstrated their defensive skills to the fullest. Except for Alonzo Mourning, there is no veteran in this Clippers team who is over 30 years old. There is no doubt that they are an extremely young team. Youth means lack of experience, but youth also means that they are more aggressive, so coach Dunleavy designed a number of offensive tactics for them, most of which are fast and fast Well, it is actually similar to "run and gun". Under this tactical system, Mourning, the starting center, is undoubtedly very uncomfortable. He is an excellent center who played all the way in the 1990s. Of course, his best offensive tactic is to play back-to-back in the low post. If the Clippers play the same slow half-court offense and defense as before, even though Mourning is 33 years old, he can barely support 30-34 minutes of playing time. However, the Clippers now have to play a fast-paced offense. Mourning's physical fitness can only last about 25 minutes at most, so the substitute center will get a lot of playing time, especially Wang Zhizhi, who was already the main rotation last season, and during the offseason. Newly joined Pedrag Drobiak. In comparison, Wang Zhizhi is faster and has a longer range, so he is likely to occasionally play the fourth position The main substitute power forward Chris Wilcox is a rough guy who can run and jump. Brother, there is almost no offensive threat outside the three-second zone, and it is definitely not as useful as Wang Zhizhi on the offensive end. Wang Dalin is no stranger to this fast-paced tactical system. In fact, during his two years with the Pistons, the team's offensive and defensive rhythm has become faster and faster. In this era, the average number of shots taken by NBA teams per game is only 68-76, while last season the Pistons averaged 79.1 shots per game If they really want to play as slowly as before, they will How could it be possible to average 105.99 points per game this season? However, the tactical system designed by coach Dunleavy is obviously faster than the Pistons last season. Wang Dalin also practiced with everyone for several days before he fully adapted to this rhythm. In mid-October, the preseason started as scheduled. The Clippers have 3 wins and 4 losses in 7 preseason games, and their performance is very average. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of course, the main purpose of the preseason is to run the team, and core players like Wang Dalin and Maggette will certainly not have a lot of playing time. ? And veteran Mourning has serious injury risks, and coach Dunleavy only allows him to play for about ten minutes per game to stretch his muscles. On October 28, the NBA 2003-2004 regular season finally kicked off. There were a total of three games played on this day, namely the Lakers vs. the Mavericks at home, the Suns vs. the Spurs away from home, and the 76ers vs. the Heat at home. After the Heat acquired Dwayne Wade this season, their strength has improved slightly compared to last season, but they are still far behind the 76ers, even if Larry Brown has left Philadelphia. The 76ers played vigorously under the leadership of new head coach Randy Els. They still maintained their excellent defense in the past, and it was not just Iverson who opened up the offense.Absolutely. Not only did Reggie Miller make 4 of 7 shots from beyond the three-point line, but Ron Artest also had a great three-point touch this night. He made 5 of 6 shots from beyond the three-point line. More accurate than old Miller. There is also Jermaine O'Neal. Although he does not have a three-point range, his shooting ability in the mid-range cannot be underestimated. And the opponent Brand is more than 10cm shorter than him. Facing such a mid-range shot, it is almost impossible to provide effective interference. O'Neal's shot is so comfortable! In the end, the Pacers' O'Neal, Miller and Artest all scored 20+ points, while no one from the Pistons scored more than 20 points Well, the one with the biggest crotch was "Third Brother" Hamilton, who He made only 3 of 17 shots in the game, and starting point guard McGinnis also made 3 of 14 shots. At the post-game press conference, Larry Brown was asked by reporters the reason for the defeat. After thinking for a long time, he replied: "We were not aggressive on defense and gave the opponent too many easy shooting opportunities. , these are fatal!¡± Then he said: "But I believe in my team We are on the right path Now the players just don't have enough adjustment. I believe that as the regular season deepens, we will definitely be able to play the style of defending champions this season." We are still the strongest contenders for the championship!¡± He looked very relaxed when he said this. It is estimated that many people at the scene believed it, but Wang Dalin, who watched the entire game in front of the TV, disagreed. It is indeed Larry Brown. In just a few months, he turned a championship team with both offense and defense into what it is now. Did Hamilton really stretch his crotch? No His movement is still weird and efficient, but often when he runs out of a good position, no one passes the ball to him! As for 3 of 17 shots First of all, it is undeniable that his touch tonight is definitely not very good, but more importantly, it is because almost all of his shots are strong attacks against the defense. If this can still guarantee the hit rate, he is not Hamilton. But Kobe! And the most incredible thing isthe Pistons' highest scorer in this game was Ben? You read that right, it¡¯s Big Book! He made 6 of 16 shots from the field, plus 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 16 points, 17 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 steals and 6 blocks. From the data alone, it can be seen that Ben played a suffocating performance on the defensive end, but his performance on the offensive end was just so-so. If Larry Brown continues to use O'Neal as O'Neal, Wang Dalin dares to assert They will never win 50 games this season! On October 30, it was finally the Clippers¡¯ turn to make their debut. Fortunately, the boss of the Sonics, Ray Allen, is absent due to injury, otherwise Wang Dalin feels that this will definitely be a tough battle. Now Since the boss of your team is not here, don't blame me for bullying you! Wang Dalin was full of confidence, but reality gave him a loud slap He thought that the Clippers could easily win the SuperSonics in this game, but the opponent easily defeated them with a score of 109:100. . With Ray Allen gone, Rashard Lewis, the second-in-command, naturally became the temporary leader of this Sonics team. He also proved that he is indeed qualified In this game, he made a total of 8 of 20 shots. , including 3 of 7 three-pointers and 6 of 7 free throws, scoring 25 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. But the Clippers didn¡¯t lose to him, but to several of the opponent¡¯s role players. Brent Barry made 7 of 13 shots from the field, including 2 of 7 three-pointers and 3 of 5 free throws. He scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal; Ronald Murray made 10 of 18 shots from the field, including 2 of 6 three-pointers and 2 of 4 free throws. He scored 24 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block; And in this game, the SuperSonics players were very active in grabbing offensive rebounds. They grabbed 23 offensive rebounds in the game. As for the Clippers, even though Wang Dalin and others fought hard, they only grabbed 18 offensive rebounds. What left Wang Dalin speechless the most was that Corey Maggette and Quentin Richardson, whom he regarded as his right-hand men, actually stretched their hips at the same time. One made 6 of 17 shots, and the other made 5 of 17 shots. Wang Dalin scored 32 points. 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 6 blocks were still powerless. You know, Wang Dalin broke his single-game block record in this game, but ended up losing. After the game, Wang Dalin returned to the locker room with a livid face after dealing with interviews from reporters on the sidelines. Seeing his teammates joking with each other with playful smiles, Wang Dalin felt a fire of ignorance going straight to his forehead, smashed his jersey to the ground and said angrily: "You guys still have the nerve to smile? Are you used to losing before? Let me tell you, I am the boss of this team now. Maybe you know my experiences in the past two years, and those who don't know should have heard of it! I just say one thing, whoever wants to play well is my friend, and whoever doesn¡¯t want to play well, it¡¯s better to get out as soon as possible I don¡¯t care what you do on the front line, but now that I¡¯m here, I¡¯m not used to losing!¡± (Note: Please visit our website: www.hlnovel.com)?, I am the current boss of this team. Maybe you know my experiences in the past two years, and those who don¡¯t know should have heard of it! All I have to say is, anyone who wants to play well is my friend. Anyone who doesn't want to play well should get out early I don't care what you do on the front line. Now that I'm here, I'm not used to losing! "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 236 Facing the Warriors after three consecutive victories Seeing Wang Dalin getting so angry, the Clippers players were scolded and dejected, but they were more surprised, right? Especially Wang Zhizhi, a teammate of the national team, and Eddie House, a best friend in his rookie season They have never seen Wang Dalin get so angry. Logically speaking, this is just an ordinary regular season, and losing is not a big deal. However, what Wang Dalin is most angry about is not the loss, but the attitude of the players after losing. He still remembers that when he was with the Pistons, if someone did not perform well in a certain game, he would always be very depressed when he returned to the locker room. As the boss, he often had to cheer for the player. The Clippers players are good. They don¡¯t reflect on themselves when they lose, and they laugh shamelessly in the locker room. How can Wang Dalin not be angry? Seeing his teammates all downcast, Wang Dalin couldn't bear it, but he knew that he couldn't be soft-hearted at this time. If he said a few words to comfort them at this time, the previous words would be in vain. Eddie House probably saw Wang Dalin's intention, so he quickly smoothed things over and said: "Darling, actually everyone has realized that they were wrong. We will definitely play well in the next game!" These words are also very appropriate for Eddie House. First of all, his relationship with Wang Dalin is closer than others. In this game, he made 8 of 15 shots, including 4 of 8 three-pointers. He made 2 of 2 free throws and scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. He was the best player besides Wang Dalin. In fact, Wang Zhizhi¡¯s words are not a big problem, but he is still relatively introverted, and he only scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block in this game, and his performance on the court was indeed unconvincing. When everyone heard this, they immediately told Wang Dalin that they would perform well in the game tomorrow night and would never do this again. Seeing everyone's appearance, Wang Dalin wanted to laugh a little, but he had to hold back at this time, so he said with a straight face: "Okay, it depends on your performance tomorrow night. But I still want to make a three-point agreement with you, If anyone breaks the rules in the future, I will advise Mike to let him sober up on the bench!" ¡°First, you are not allowed to go to nightclubs during away games;¡± "Second, no drinking is allowed the day before the game;" ¡°Third, don¡¯t touch drugs!¡± Matt Barnes blushed and asked: "I have no objection to not taking drugs, but I want to ask, is marijuana considered a drug?" Wang Dalin squinted his eyes and asked: "According to U.S. federal law, marijuana is a Class I controlled substance, and marijuana is not legal in California. Do you think it is considered a drug?" Matt Barnes immediately stopped and muttered: "Looks like I have to quit smoking!" Many people think that marijuana is legal in the United States and can be smoked casually. This is another misunderstanding. In fact, the U.S. federal government has long promulgated the "Controlled Substances Act of 1970", which stipulates that marijuana is a first-class controlled substance with a very high risk of abuse and high dependence. Both use and possession violate federal law. But at the same time, as of the end of 2019, 11 states in the United States have legalized any use of marijuana, and 33 states have legalized medical marijuana. There is a situation here that goes against the understanding of most Chinese people. Why can marijuana, which is illegal by the federal government, be legalized by local governments? The answer isno! The United States is a federal country, and state laws cannot override federal laws. Therefore, even in states where marijuana is legal, federal law enforcement agencies still have full legality to arrest any individual who uses, possesses, grows, transports or sells marijuana. Sowhat significance does state law have for the legalization of marijuana? This is not a contradiction, because state laws targeting marijuana help solve the problem of scarce federal law enforcement resources. The enforcement of laws requires the actions of law enforcement units. Laws that cannot be enforced are not serious. If laws are not followed and violations are not corrected, the law will become a decoration. Federal laws require federal law enforcement agencies to enforce them, and the number of federal law enforcement officers is woefully inadequate relative to the national population. There are dozens of federal law enforcement agencies across the United States, with hundreds of thousands of law enforcement personnel, but the DEA, which is responsible for controlling drugs and drugs, only has a few thousand agents. Resources need to be used where they are most needed, so the U.S. Department of Justice, the department in charge of the DEA, has issued a series of memos on marijuana law enforcement. The central idea of ????this memorandum isfor individuals who use marijuana in full compliance with state laws, we will not enforce the law, and instead divert resources to drug networks and market to children."Preventing" is also a helpless move. Otherwise, the regular season this season will be in trouble, because even if the Clippers can score 110 points in every game, the opponent can score 112 or even 114 points. In that case what's the point? The Clippers' third game will not be played until November 7. The entire week's rest time is really precious for Dunleavy. He can have enough time to practice this new defensive system. It has to be said that players who can earn a living in the NBA still have a certain level of golf intelligence. Just this week, the Clippers players stepped up their training and finally got this new defensive system working I can't say it will have much effect in the game, at least it will be better than the previous situation. alright. On November 7, the Clippers challenged the Nuggets led by Carmelo Anthony in an away game. Since selecting Anthony in the draft in June, the Nuggets management has been very courageous and directly designated Anthony as the core of the team in the next few years and established his leadership status among all players. In addition to Anthony, the current dig team also has quasi-All-stars like Andre Miller, Nene Hilario and Marcus Camby, as well as Voshon Leonard, Earl High-quality role players like Boykins, Jon Barry (already to the Nuggets) and Chris Anderson have absolutely high ceilings. Of course, since the players are generally too young, their lower limit may also be very low. To put it simplythe Nuggets may defeat any strong team, including the Lakers, Spurs or Pistons, but they may also lose to any team. If they are unlucky, they can even lose to the Bulls. The Nuggets played a high quality of offense and defense in the first three quarters of this game, and the scores of both sides have been alternately leading. This situation lasted until the beginning of the fourth quarter. For some unknown reason, the Nuggets suddenly became misfired. They were unable to score either inside or from mid-to-long range This situation lasted for 6 minutes! You can imagine it even with your butt How terrible is it to not score a point for 6 minutes? So the Clippers seized this opportunity and launched a 14-0 spurt, defeating the Nuggets in one fell swoop and winning two consecutive games. The final score between the two sides was 118:102. Wang Dalin scored 38 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists, 7 steals and 3 blocks His 7 steals also set his own new single-game steal record. In fact, it was good luck. It was precisely because the Nuggets suddenly misfired at the beginning of the fourth quarter that the players were completely panicked, so Wang Dalin was able to send as many as 4 steals during that period. On November 11, the Clippers returned to their home court, and this time their opponent was the Hawks. Although this Hawks team has good players such as Sharif Abdur-Rahim, Theo Ratliff, Jason Terry, Stephen Jackson, etc., their strength can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the Eastern Conference. . So the Clippers made another victory and successfully won three consecutive victories. But the good times didn¡¯t last longOn November 14th, they finally faced their first truly strong opponent this season, the Golden State Warriors who reached the Western Conference semifinals last season. The Clippers are not as strong as the Warriors. It is an away game, and the Warriors have won all four of their first four games this season, so the Clippers players are a little uneasy. Of course, Wang Dalin will not be nervous Last season, the Warriors only reached the Western Conference semifinals, and the Pistons he led were the championship! That night, the Oakland Arena was packed with 19,596 home fans, all wearing yellow jerseys of the Warriors. The scene was very much like the scene in director Zhang Yimou's movie "The Golden Armor." During the warm-up before the game, when he saw Yao Ming, who was wearing the No. 11 jersey, taking the initiative to come over, Wang Dalin smiled slightly, went up to him and gave him a warm hug (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 237 It¡¯s hard to survive alone "Dayao, you're fine!" Wang Dalin whispered in Yao Ming's ear while hugging him. "It's like we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Yao Ming's face turned into an emoticon with a smile on his face, "We were drinking at the celebration banquet in Harbin more than a month ago, so it wasn't long before we parted ways!" Wang Dalin chuckled: "That's righthow many points are you planning to lose to us tonight?" Yao Ming smiled and said: "Da Lin, it's not that I underestimate you. I'm afraid it's our team that will win tonight, right?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true! Have you forgotten our two teams had one win and one loss last season!" Yao Ming smiled and said: "Don't forget, last season you were with the Pistons, and now you are with the Clippers With your team's lineup, it will be difficult for us not to beat you!" Wang Dalin suddenly became a little angry and was about to retort a few words when he saw Billups and Clifford Robinson walking over with smiles. Yes, the Pistons' "Uncle Cliff" has become a completely free agent this summer, and the Warriors signed him with a two-year, $10 million contract. "Yao, that's great!" Billups came over and hugged Wang Dalin, "Fourth brother, it seems that you are really going to lose tonight!" Robinson also smiled and said: "Darling, this time I am on the same side as them, you kid, just wish yourself well!" Wang Dalin said harshly: "Huh! Second brother, Clifford, the game hasn't started yet, and the outcome is not yet known!" Yao Ming smiled and said: "The outcome is indeed uncertain, but your team's strength is obviously much worse than ours!" Wang Dalin stiffened his neck and replied: "Okay, then we'll see!" After saying that, he turned around and returned to his own half. Returning to his own half to continue warming up, Wang Dalin could only sigh helplessly. Yao Ming is right. The current hard power of the Clippers is indeed inferior to that of the Warriors. If nothing else, the "second brother" Billups alone cannot be stopped by Yalic. Moreover, the Warriors also have Jason Richardson, Antoine Jamison, Troy Murphy, Clifford Robinson and other good players. This summer, they signed the Spurs last season for 3 years and 9.9 million US dollars. The team's backup point guard, Speedy Claxton, is also a high-quality backup point guard with considerable strength. It can be said that the Warriors are definitely a powerful team in the Western Conference. Even the Mavericks, Spurs and Lakers do not dare to underestimate them. On the other hand, the Clippers, except for Wang Dalin and Maggette, they don¡¯t even have a decent third-in-command Although Quentin Richardson has a good offense, his defense is so poor that even the top 3D Even if it doesn¡¯t count, how can he be considered a qualified third-in-command? If Quentin Richardson is like this, others are even less qualified. It would have been nice if the Clippers could have kept Elton Brand. At least he was good both offensively and defensively, and he is definitely one of the top ten power forwards in the current NBA. Coupled with Maggette being the third boss, the strength of the Clippers will be extremely terrifying. But having said thatif the Clippers didn't take out Brand, how could they get Wang Dalin? The Lakers even showed up for Kobe! The whistle sounded at the beginning of the game. Yao Ming easily defeated Mourning in the jump ball and passed the ball to Billups. After Billups received the ball, he dribbled steadily past half-court. After some observation, he found that Marko Jaric was afraid of his breakthrough speed, so he was in a defensive position, so he raised his hand and shot Three-pointer The ball flew across the sky above the Oakland Arena like a meteor and accurately penetrated the basket. After last season, especially the two hard-fought rounds of the playoffs, Billups's current style of play has become calm and sharp, and sudden three-pointers like this are his specialty. Wang Dalin sighed, he didn¡¯t dare to let Yalic make a sudden shot, because once Billups got inside the three-point line, even if the Clippers had a help defense expert like him, it would be of no avail. Billups is not as unique as Iverson or Kobe. His passing is very powerful, and the Warriors also have players like Yao Ming, Jamison and Richardson on the offensive end. It's hard to expect them not to score if one of them has an open opportunity. It was the Clippers' turn to attack. Yalic dribbled the ball past half court and immediately passed the ball to Wang Dalin. In the past few games, except for the first game they lost, Wang Dalin basically acted as the starting point for the Clippers' offense, and he also completed this task very well, scoring double figures in assists in three consecutive games. After observing the movement of his teammates, Wang Dalin took the initiative to dribble inside and cut in, and then quicklyNo matter who comes to defend him, he can only look forward to it and sigh The "God of Death" waved the sickle in his hand, killing the Warriors until the whole field was filled with grief. In this quarter, Wang Dalin made a total of 8 of 11 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws. While scoring 21 points, he also contributed 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. build. One more thing This cover is exactly the first height of the Warriors. Wang Dalin clearly saw When the ball was blocked, Yao Ming's face was full of disbelief. At that time, he had clearly used his footsteps to throw Wang Dalin behind him, but he didn't expect that Wang Dalin would come from behind. He was hit with a big nailboard from behind. However, the Warriors were not completely defeated by Wang Dalin's powerful offensive in the second quarter. Although they could not guard Wang Dalin, the Clippers still could not limit their offense. So despite Wang Dalin's amazing offensive frenzy, when looking at the score after halftime, the Clippers still trailed the Warriors by 3 points, 52:55. During the halftime break, Coach Dunleavy did not assign more tactics to the players, but instead poured them "chicken soup". In fact, this kind of "chicken soup" is sometimes very useful, just like the many famous shocking reversals in the history of world football, each of which is closely related to "chicken soup". For example, in the 2005 Champions League final, everyone was not optimistic about Liverpool from the beginning and believed that AC Milan would easily defeat them and win the championship. Facts have proved that everyone's vision is indeed accurate. AC Milan scored 3 goals in the first half aloneLiverpool fell behind 0:3 at halftime. Anyone else would have thought they had already lost. At halftime, the then Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez said to his disciples: "We have to do something! We can't just play idle for 45 minutes in front of tens of thousands of fans, and then Losing four or five goals and then leaving is not what we are here for!" ¡°I won¡¯t put high demands on you. I just hope that everyone will work hard on the court and try to score a goal just one goal, just to prevent us from losing so ugly, okay?¡± As everyone knows, Liverpool scored three goals in the second half and defeated AC Milan in the penalty shootout. It can be called one of the most classic shocking comebacks in the history of the Champions League, known as "Istanbul Night" in history. . But obviously Coach Dunleavy's "chicken soup skills" are not very good He cheered the players on like a chicken blood, and talked for at least ten minutes. However, Wang Dalin observed and found that the emotions of his teammates did not fluctuate much. . Sigh This Clippers team has really been used to losing in the past few years. The players really lack fighting spirit. Coach Dunleavy wants to turn them around with a "chicken soup" speech, which is obviously too naive. Wang Dalin sighed Come on, you still have to rely on me! After the start of the third quarter, the Warriors players found that Wang Dalin's offensive firepower was significantly lower than in the second quarter, but his offense was still very efficient. Except for the halftime break, Wang Dalin didn't take a minute off the field to rest in this game, and he had to fight on both offense and defense. He consumed more physical energy than anyone on the field. "If he hadn't raised his physical strength to 93 during the offseason, Wang Dalin wouldn't have the confidence to last until the last moment if he continued to play like this. But there is one thing to say Even if he can increase his physical strength to the full value of 99, he will find it difficult to play the entire game with both offense and defense like this. Now he probably knows why in the summer of 2016, even though he faced the reputation of "surrendering to the enemy", Kevin Durant still joined the Warriors who had defeated them before without hesitation. And LeBron James in the Cavaliers 1.0 era, doesn¡¯t he want to lead his hometown team to compete for the championship? Doesn¡¯t he know how joining the Heat to join a team will have a negative impact on his reputation? They all know it, butit's so uncomfortable to be alone!

(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 238 Even though the defeat was glorious, it was just an empty attack. If his teammates still don't give their best, even if Wang Dalin has performed a terrifying performance like "the coming of death", it will be difficult for him to lead the Clippers to defeat the Warriors team that has become a climate now. Fortunately, someone among his teammates finally stood up, and he was Wang Zhizhi In fact, Wang Dalin did not expect that the person who could help him at the critical moment would be him. So Wang Dalin was very surprised, and of course the Warriors were even more surprised. They never expected that Wang Zhizhi would score three consecutive goals from beyond the three-point line. Originally, they were several points ahead, but they were overtaken by this wave. In fact, these three three-pointers are all wide open When Wang Dalin rushed into the three-second zone and was double-teamed, Wang Zhizhi ran to the position where he usually shoots most accurately, and waited for Wang Dalin to pass the ball to him. Wang Zhizhi has always been very accurate with his three-pointers in training, but in games he was on time and inaccurate. Fortunatelyhe happened to be very accurate today! Warriors head coach Eric Musselman quickly called a timeout If Wang Zhizhi continued to shoot like this, he might as well just admit defeat. After calling a timeout, head coach Musselman also had a headache. For a role player like Wang Zhizhi, it is estimated that no team will design any defensive tactics for him, so Musselman is also quite hesitant. Give up the double-teaming of Wang Dalin? Isn¡¯t this looking for death? There are still more than 5 minutes left before the end of the game. This guy has already scored 45 points, and his shooting rate is super high. If he really doesn't get double-teamed, it would not be unusual to score 60+ points. ¡°If while double-teaming Wang Dalin, another person is arranged to keep an eye on Wang Zhizhi, if Maggette and Richardson regain their touch, the situation will be out of control. After much thought, head coach Musselman decided to resolutely double-team Wang Dalin, and then the others focused on marking Maggette and Richardson. As for Wang Zhizhi he had just made three consecutive three-pointers, and this timeout After all, it doesn¡¯t feel so hot to the touch, right? In fact, each team¡¯s defensive tactics are divided into priorities. For example, if you faced the Lakers with an "ok combination", would you choose to focus on defending O'Neal and Kobe, or would you focus on defending those role players? I guess no head coach of any team would choose to focus on guarding role players, right? The reason is very simplethe reason why role players are called role players means that their strength is definitely not as good as that of stars. They may occasionally perform well, but they will never perform well in every game. But stars are differentif you dare not pay enough attention to them, they will slap you hard with goal after goal until you are beaten so hard that your mother doesn't recognize you. For exampleMarch 6, 2000 was O'Neal's 28th birthday, and there happened to be a game between the Lakers and Clippers that night. As the first birthday of the new millennium, O'Neal certainly wanted to spend it with friends, so O'Neal invited a few friends to watch his game. The home stadiums of the Clippers and Lakers are both Staples Arena, so although the game was the Clippers' home court, as the biggest star in Los Angeles at the time, it was not difficult to get a few tickets to entertain guests. On this day worth celebrating, everything seemed to be falling into place, but unexpectedly, it capsized in the gutter When O'Neal asked Clippers owner Sterling for tickets, he directly refused. Refused? Maybe O¡¯Neal never dreamed that he would be rejected! At that time, O'Neal probably looked at himself in the mirror and asked this sentence - "Damn it! Do I don't want to lose face?" So in that night's game, O'Neal completely used the Clippers as a punching bag. O¡¯Neal made a total of 24 of 35 shots in the game, plus 13 of 22 free throws. While scoring 61 points, he also grabbed 23 rebounds. The two centers of the Clippers only scored 11 points and 8 rebounds in total, and they also committed 11 fouls on O'Neal. At this point, O'Neal has become the only superstar to score 60+20 points since 1985. Before that, only the "ancient beast" Wilt Chamberlain had accomplished such a feat. O'Neal not only had a super performance, but also led the Lakers to beat the Clippers. After the game, O'Neal even humiliated the Clippers with words - "The Clippers have no honor and cover up the Lakers' championship flag and retired jerseys in every game!" In the end, he added another punch - "Everyone, please remember, don't let me pay for my own tickets again!" So cruel, so perverted,Lin just made a fake move of "worshiping to the Buddha". He passed by Jamison with a short body, rushed into the three-point line and hit a pull-up jumper This ball is there! 104:104, the two sides were tied. The Warriors didn't dwell too much on this ball. After issuing the baseline ball, Billups dribbled the ball quickly to the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to Richardson for a transition. In the end, the basketball came to the goal. The inside line is in the hands of Yao Ming. Yao Ming did not attack in the paint after receiving the ball several times before, so even Wang Dalin did not expect that he would suddenly hit the basket at this time. Mourning was staggered by him and was about to lose his defensive position. He had no choice but to take action and pull Yao Ming down. "Beep" Mourning¡¯s thug fouled and Yao Ming was sent to the free throw line. At this moment, Wang Dalin wished that Yao Ming could shoot free throws like O'Neal, but obviously this was just a daydream. Yao Ming made two free throws steadily. The score came to 104:106, and the Clippers were 2 points behind again. Time was running out, and both sides only had one last chance to attack. Wang Dalin lived up to expectations and hit a key three-pointer against Jamison's defense at the top of the three-point arc. With 18 seconds left in the game and the Clippers leading by 1 point, Musselman decisively used up his last timeout opportunity. The situation on the court at this time is very delicate If the Warriors run out of time and make a buzzer-beating shot, they will naturally defeat the Clippers; but if they run out of time and fail to score the last attack, then they will lose even more. There is no time to grab offensive rebounds for a second offense. So the best option is of course to take the shot with three or four seconds left in the game. Even if you don't score, you still have a chance to fight for a second attack. Of course Musselman arranged it this way, but he didn't expect that there was someone with a bigger idea than him "Second Brother" Billups is famous for his big heart! With this ball, Billups retreated to the center circle after receiving the ball in the frontcourt, and then slowly dribbled the ball to delay time. It was not until there were 4 seconds left on the timer that he began to dribble forward. Eddie House has already been close to him, but he is far behind in terms of height, weight and strength. Billups suddenly made a continuous change of direction dribbling, then used his shoulder to push House back a big step, pulled it up and shot This is a three-pointer! Wang Dalin¡¯s heart thumped, and he thought: ¡°It¡¯s broken!¡± How could he, coming from a later generation, not know how good Billups was at shooting three-pointers like this? What's more now is the critical moment to decide the outcome. I'm afraid Billups, a "big heart", will be hard to miss, right? But Billups had already shot quickly, and even if he wanted to help defend, it was too late The ball drew a high arc and accurately passed through the basket. The moment the basketball passed through the basket, the timer above the backboard just hit zero, and the final whistle sounded, and the Oakland Arena burst into cheers. The Warriors players were so excited that they hugged each other and even danced in a circle. Wang Dalin raised his head and looked at the replay on the big screen, feeling unable to calm down for a long time. He has used this kind of winning goal to send others a defeat many times before. This time it is his turn This feeling is really uncomfortable! In this game, he made 20 of 28 shots, including 6 of 13 three-pointers and 10 of 12 free throws. He scored 57 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. He had tried his best. ¡°If the teammates can work a little harder, even if they can score one more goal, at least they will have a chance to play overtime. Butwhat can be done about this? He can completely predict how he will be written about himself in the newspapers tomorrow. The reporters will definitely use the phrase "despite defeat but still glory" to him. But will this make him feel a little better? cannot! "It's a compliment even if you lose" is indeed a compliment, but no matter what, he lost tonight, no matter how good his personal performance was it was still just an in vain? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 239 How about giving us Artest instead? After the game, Wang Dalin refused to be interviewed by reporters on the sidelines after the game. He is in a very bad mood now. Even when Yao Ming, Billups and others came to greet him, he looked livid. How could he still be in the mood to accept such a sideline interview with Lao Shizi? This is normal When you try your best on the court and score 57 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block and still lose, you may want to smash the advertising screen on the courtside technical desk. ¡°Besides, he is still so young Even if he has become a superstar now, he is still only 21 years old! He didn¡¯t even attend the post-game press conference. For this, he would be fined US$10,000 to US$25,000 by the league, but he didn¡¯t care. That night on the plane back to Los Angeles, Wang Dalin remained silent, lying alone in his seat with his eyes closed to rest. His teammates didn't dare to talk to him Corey Maggette, Quentin Richardson and others didn't even bother to talk to him. Even Wang Zhizhi and Eddie House, who had the best relationship with Wang Dalin, didn't. Comes from fun. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????] It's just a loss in an ordinary regular season. If he has to be depressed for several days, then he might as well stop playing in the NBA and go back to China to play in the CBA Anyway, with his strength, even a nationally renowned player among his teammates No, I can definitely kill everyone in the CBA or even reach the top directly. That night, the Clippers faced the Magic at home. Like the Clippers, the Magic also played a game last night and lost 101:106 to the Nuggets led by rookie prospect Carmelo Anthony. If the Clippers are demoralized after just experiencing a close defeat, then the Magic are completely defeatedSo far this season, the Magic have 1 win and 8 losses, and except for the opening game, they defeated the Knicks 85:83. The Sri Lankan team was surprised, and all the next 8 games ended in failure. ? 8 consecutive lossesWang Dalin has never had such a humiliating experience since he entered the league, so he really wants to know how the Magic's boss Tracy McGrady feels now? In fact, McGrady¡¯s personal performance in the first 9 games was not bad. He averaged 26.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1 steal, and 0.9 blocks per game. He shot 42.3% from the field, 39.6% from the three-point range, and 85.2% from the free throw line. In addition to his slightly lower shooting percentage, his three-pointers and free throws are even slightly better than last season, which shows that his offensive efficiency is quite good. Just last night, in the game against the Nuggets, he made 20 of 30 shots, including 8 of 11 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 51 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. The counterpoint "Little Melon" was completely blown away. But even with such a strong personal performance, he still couldn't lead the Magic to a victory. From this point of view, Tracy McGrady and Wang Dalin had exactly the same experience last nightboth scored 50+ points and both lost. But on this night, Wang Dalin and the Clippers were obviously better. They played a very smooth offense and basically limited McGrady's personal performance, allowing the super shooting guard to only score 19 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Wang Dalin made 9 of 18 shots from the field, including 4 of 8 three-pointers and 9 of 9 free throws. He scored 32 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 blocks, declaring his return as the king with a large triple-double. And it can be seen from the fact that he only took 18 offensive shots in the game. In this game, he focused more on how to organize and mobilize his teammates. The 12 assists in the game also proved this very well. After the first few games, Wang Dalin finally determined his position in the Clippers. It can be seen from the game results that as long as he scores a triple-double, the Clippers will win. On the contrary, even if he scores 50+, as long as the assists are not in double figures, the Clippers will still lose. So for the Clippers, they need Wang Dalin to play the role of an organizer and occasional strong attacker. If his teammates can't open up and only use him to hit the ball alone, the result will often not be ideal. In fact, Wang Dalin has gradually mastered certain rules. There is no need to think about anything else. Anyway, he is good at offense and defense, organization of strong attacks, rebounds, steals, blocks he is good at everything! This kind of playing style of being both a father and a mother isn't it the LeBron James of the Cavaliers 1.0 era? Don¡¯t underestimate Lao Zhan during this period. Even though the competitive pressure in the Eastern Conference was relatively small during that period, he did lead the team to the finals in 2007. ??????????????????????????????????????????? Then in exchange for Deng¡¯s stupid words, ¡°The future is yours¡±! ??????????????????????? " Carlisle smiled and said: "Darling, you are still the same as before, always so tough-talking!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Let's talk about each other By the way, Ron on your team is very good. If we trade Corey for him, would you be willing?" Carlisle rolled his eyes at him and said: "What a great idea you have! If you want to replace Ron Corey alone is not enough, at least you need another first-round pick!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Okay, I will call Elgin after the game tonight. Don't regret it?" Carlisle hurriedly said: "Hey the general manager of our team is Larry, I said this doesn't count!" Wang Dalin laughed loudly and said: "Okay, then I will ask Elgin to talk to Larry I hope they don't mind the previous grievances between the Celtics and the Lakers and really broker this deal, right?" There are benefits for both our teams!¡± Carlisle fell silent. Wang Dalin is right. If the Clippers really trade Maggette for Artest, their defensive level will immediately improve by one level As the players become more and more familiar with each other, there will definitely be more improvements in the future. First gear. After the Pacers get Maggette, a powerful small forward who can average more than 20 points per game, their offensive firepower will definitely be stronger than it is now. Although Carlisle is a head coach who emphasizes a balance of offense and defense, the Pacers currently lack attackersReggie Miller is older, and the team's real offensive strength is only Jermaine O'Neal. Of course, the Pacers' defensive intensity will definitely drop after losing Artest, but if they can get Maggette, they can establish a greater advantage on the offensive end. To be blunt Carlisle even has the confidence to lead this team directly into the finals! Of course, these are just a small tidbit before the start of this game. The highlight is of course the duel between Wang Dalin and Carlisle, the "former teacher and student". For such a game full of gimmicks, the NBA League of course arranged for a national live broadcast. In the TNT live broadcast room, Smith and Barkley were already in place. "Charles, most of the fans are still optimistic about the Pacers tonight. What do you think?" "What can I think? Of course I support Darling-Wang. The Clippers must win this game tonight, and Darling-Wang must win!" "Hahaha I knew you would say that, so I have prepared a bet. Are you interested?" "What bet?" "I bet on the Pacers to win, and you bet on the Clippers to win. If you lose, I'll kick your ass hard. If I lose, it will be the same Do you dare to bet?" "NoKenny, is this the level of bet you want? Isn't it too simple and crude?" "You don't care if I'm simple and rude, just tell me whether you dare to gamble, right?" "Why don't I dare to gamble? I'm afraid that after you lose, I'll kick you to the hospital!" "I'm not even afraid, you're just scared Then we've decided, whoever loses should be ready to get kicked in the butt!" ¡­¡­ On the playing field, the starting players of both sides are already in place. The Pacers¡¯ starting five are point guard Kenny Anderson, shooting guard Reggie Miller, small forward Ron Artest, power forward Jermaine O¡¯Neal, and center Jeff Foster. The Clippers sent out their regular starting lineup, which are point guard Marko Jaric, shooting guard Quentin Richardson, small forward Corey Maggette, power forward Wang Dalin, and center Alonzo. .Mourning. In fact, coach Dunleavy has considered asking Wang Dalin to play the third position. With his strong offensive power, he might not be able to completely defeat Artest, the opponent's strongest defender. However, considering that the Pacers' strongest offensive point is Jermaine O'Neal at the fourth position, if Wang Dalin plays the third position, the rest of the Clippers will probably be completely overwhelmed by him, so he is thinking about playing at the third position. It was decided to let Wang Dalin compete with him. With the referee¡¯s whistle, the game finally started (Remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 240 Do you really need to use that trick? ?? So far this season, Alonzo Mourning has performed surprisingly well in the jump ball segment. In the 7 games that have ended so far, he has only lost once and won all the other 6 times. It's hard to imagine that a 33-year-old veteran can still have such explosive jumping speed. Although his absolute jumping height is not top-notch, the jumping ball is obviously more important than jumping height, and considering his He also has a wingspan of 229cm, so it¡¯s not surprising that he is good at jumping the ball. Height is 208cm and wingspan is 229cm. The difference between the two is a full 21cm. This kind of physical talent is undoubtedly the top in history Think about it, if Chairman Yao's wingspan can exceed his height of 21cm, what will his career be like? What an achievement? This is also the fundamental reason why Mourning was able to gain a foothold in the league even after kidney transplant surgery caused a significant decline in physical fitness. Otherwise, how could he have blocked 9 shots in a single game with this disabled body in the original time and space? That¡¯s rightit was true that the opposing players looked down upon him so much that they frequently rushed inside to dunk on him. But then I thought about it Even if someone takes the initiative to "give hats", if your "cooking skills" have greatly declined, how can you serve them this "hot pot meal"? Back to the game Mourning easily defeated the Pacers' white center Jeff Foster with a jump ball, and passed the ball to Wang Dalin who was responding. Wang Dalin had just received the ball when he saw a dark shadow flash in front of him, almost breaking out in a cold sweat If he hadn't quickly raised the ball high, Artest might have already completed the steal. "This guy is really difficult to deal with!" Wang Dalin complained silently in his heart, but his actions in protecting the ball were meticulous. Seeing that Artest was unable to do anything, he did not force it, so he retreated. This kind of steal is completely a gambling-style sneak attack. If the sneak attack fails, of course you have to retreat to your defensive position. Otherwise, if Wang Dalin suddenly passes the ball, Maggette's side may have the opportunity to directly attack the Pacers' inside line. . Wang Dalin slowly dribbled the ball to the top of the three-point arc. Jermaine O'Neal spread his arms and placed his body center of gravity very low, about one meter away from him. This distance is just right, which can not only prevent Wang Dalin from breaking through, but also provide timely interference when he makes a pull-up jumper With O'Neal's height of 211cm and wingspan of 225cm, even Wang Dalin cannot ignore this. interference. In fact, when many people mention the best insiders in the NBA in the early 21st century, the first thing they think of is always Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Chris Webber, Dirk Nowitzki, etc. Man, if it were later, Yao Ming and Stoudemire would conquer most fans with their outstanding performances. It seems that many people have forgotten the name Jermaine O'Neal, and seem to think that he is just a little worse than those people. Is this really the case? You must know that he is also a member of the "96 Golden Generation", and he was the strongest inside player among the rookies that year bar none! As a high school player, O'Neal Jr. averaged 22.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 5.2 blocks per game in the last season of his high school career. Such data also gave him enough confidence to skip college and directly participate in the draft. Like Kobe, O'Neal Jr. also participated in the draft directly after graduating from high school. However, compared to Kobe, O'Neal Jr.'s journey to the NBA was too bumpy. O¡¯Neal Jr. is tall, has an excellent wingspan, and has excellent movement speed. As the 17th pick in the first round of 1996, he joined the Trail Blazers, the top team in the league at the time. This is undoubtedly a tragedy for O'Neal, because what the Trail Blazers lack most is power forwards and centers. They not only have the famous Sabonis, but also the "Roaring God" Rasheed Wallace, and the internal competition invisibly creates O'Neal brings a lot of pressure. Not only that, O'Neal Jr. missed the first 17 games of his rookie season due to a knee bone contusion. He did not officially debut until a game against the Nuggets in December. He scored 2 points in 3 minutes of playing time. In the first four years of his career, O'Neal Jr. had a very difficult time with the Trail Blazers, averaging less than 10 minutes per game. Even in his best season, he averaged only a pitiful 3.9 points and 3.3 rebounds per game. But can you blame him? The team's head coach at that time, whether it was Carlesimo or Dunleavy Sr., although they believed that O'Neal had great potential, they still liked to use stable veterans. It was obvious that Sabonis was extremely slow and was becoming more and more efficient. The lower it is, the more they refuse to give O'Neal a little more chance. In the 1997-1998 season, the Trail Blazers traded Kevin Cato and others in an effort to withstand the "Sharks".For a time, the entire "Conseco Arena" was silent, and the fans at the scene didn't even dare to breathe. Of course this situation only lasted for two seconds, and then the audience immediately burst into earth-shattering boos. Not only did Wang Dalin face the audience without fear, but he showed a contemptuous smile on his face. With his jumping and strength getting stronger and stronger, he can now really play the role of a "brutal forward". Just like this dunk just now, it has the style of "Rain Man" who violently abused the frame. You must know that although Jeff Foster is only a white center, his height is actually 211cm. It is not easy to dunk across him. In previous games, except for "Big Shark" who once dunked him strongly, no one has ever dunked on him before! Barkley jumped up in excitement: "Did you see it? Kenny, did you see it? Do you still dare to say that the Pacers can win?" Perhaps he was really shocked by Wang Dalin¡¯s violent dunk. Smith did not respond in a rare moment. Instead, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh: ¡°Wang Darling is so awesome!¡± The Pacers players looked at each other, stunned by this dunk, but there was Reggie Miller among them! The old guy didn't say any words of encouragement to his teammates. Instead, after receiving the ball in the frontcourt, he immediately hit a long-distance three-pointer The basketball drew a high arc, and the audience was stunned. With a stunned look on his face, he dove into the basket. The entire audience suddenly burst into cheers and screams, and the entire "Conseco Arena" completely exploded. At this moment, the fans seemed to have returned to that night many years ago It was the man wearing the No. 31 jersey. At that time, he pushed Michael Jordan away and then hit a three-pointer to kill the top Bulls! Wang Dalin frowned suddenly, and the momentum he had finally achieved with the dunk just now disappeared in an instant, and looking at this the Pacers' momentum has become stronger again! It has to be said that the intuition of professional players is accurate, and Wang Dalin's judgment was quickly confirmed The Pacers made a 12:4 climax, opening the point difference between the two sides to two in just 4 minutes. number of digits. Wang Dalin¡¯s eyes showed deep exhaustion With his current physical fitness, of course it is not physical fatigue, but mental exhaustion. "Do you really want to use that move?" Wang Dalin clicked on the skills page in his mind and read the name "Super God Pickled Pepper" several times. It was difficult to make a decision for a long time (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 241 Are we really going to trade? ?? "Super Pickle Pepper: The unique secret skill of former Indiana Pacers star Paul George. This skill is an active skill. After using it, all the host's ability values ??will be randomly increased by 2%-5% in the game, but it will be increased by 2%-5% in the next three consecutive games. The game will be in a sluggish state, so the host should use it with caution!" Thinking of this strange setting of "one scene with gods and three scenes with ghosts", Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel very satisfied. Yesif he uses this skill now, it is not certain whether he can win the game tonight. After all, it is just "a random increase of 2%-5% in all personal ability values". If the improvement is not ideal, For example, if it is only increased by 2%, how much effect can it have? And the most frightening thing is I am afraid that the next three games will be bad. If you are unlucky, you may even lose three games in a row. If he was still with the Pistons last season, he wouldn't have to worry too much. After all, the overall strength of the team is strong enough, and even if he is in a sluggish state, it may not have much impact But now, with the strength of the Clippers, , once he is in a sluggish state, he will probably lose. If his lateral agility could be a few points higher, he would not hesitate to use this move, because he would probably reach the minimum requirement of "Hao's Long-range Throw" With "Hao's Long-range Throw", He didn't believe he couldn't win this game tonight! But now his lateral agility plus equipment bonus is only 85. Even if he can trigger the maximum 5% ability improvement of "Super God Pickled Pepper", it will never be directly raised to 90, so it is impossible for him to reach "Hao Zhi". "Long Shot" minimum requirements. The Pacers' offensive is still unstoppable, and Wang Zhizhi sent by Dunleavy is also closely watched by his opponents, with basically no chance to make a move. Wang Dalin had to try his best every time he attacked, but he could only hold on to the score to prevent the point difference from widening. It was no more than wishful thinking to catch up or overtake the score. Until he was replaced in the second half of the third quarter, the Clippers were still 11 points behind, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not catch up. "Damn it! If you die, you will die!" Looking at the struggling performance of his teammates on the court, Wang Dalin finally made a decision, "'Super God Pickled Pepper', I hope I can really be a master tonight, right?" " He decisively used the "Super God Pickled Pepper", and in an instant he felt that his whole body was filled with a sense of power. After the "climax", he seemed to feel that he suddenly became a little stronger. I checked the ability values Sure enough, all ability values ??have increased by 2-3 points! Now that the "ultimate move" has been released, Wang Dalin quickly took the initiative to ask for a fight. Although Dunleavy felt a little surprised, he still complied with his request and soon took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to replace him on the field. The Pacers were obviously not well prepared, and Carlisle did not expect Dunleavy to replace Wang Dalin at this time. According to Carlisle's estimation, Dunleavy should replace Wang Dalin about three or four minutes into the fourth quarter. Let him play nowis it too early? But after thinking about it from his perspective, Carlisle felt that replacing Wang Dalin at this time was the best and only choice If we delay it for a few more minutes, it might really be too late! No matter how strong Wang Dalin's personal ability is, it is still too difficult to lead the team to catch up with a double-digit point difference in about 8 minutesunless he can activate some "bug" such as 100% hitting again. Obviously although "Super God Pickled Pepper" is powerful, it is not that powerful. ¡­¡­ At the end of the third quarter, Wang Dalin quickly made 2 of 3 shots after re-entering the field, finally chasing the point difference to single digits The score between the two sides was 75:66, and the Clippers were still 9 points behind. During the break between sections, Wang Dalin kept taking deep breaths. He had to let his physical strength recover a little more. Even if it was just a little bit more, it might be able to affect the outcome of the game at a critical moment. Fortunately, after he used the "Super God Pickled Pepper", his physical strength was relatively improved. Moreover, his original physical strength value was as high as 93, so he felt that his physical strength should be enough to last the entire audience. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wang Dalin scored 4 goals in his first 5 attacks, and he also attacked the inside and caused Foster to foul 3 times and go to the free throw line He not only led the team to chase the point difference between the two teams to only 1 points, and also sent the Pacers' starting center to six fouls and left the game. Everyone saw the Clippers' hope of winning, and even Barkley had danced to celebrate in the TNT live broadcast room. But the good times did not last long Carlisle directly moved O'Neal to the center position and arranged Artest to move to the fourth position. Wang Dalin's offense suddenly encountered a major obstacle. And Reggie Miller and O'Neal continue to show off their power.What if I suggested trading Corey for Ron Artest? " Dunleavy immediately stopped talkingthese two people are not ordinary people, and they are of equal strength. Even the most astute general manager must weigh it again and again before making a judgment. "Master Baylor" was silent for at least ten seconds, and finally asked: "Darling, are you serious?" Wang Dalin nodded and said: "Of course, you should know from Mike's expression that my proposal has obviously tempted him!" Dunleavy smiled bitterly and said: "Nonsense! How can you not be tempted? But can this deal be done? As far as I know, Ron just signed a four-year, $26 million contract with the Pacers this summer, and the same goes for Corey. This season is still the first season of his new contract!¡± "Baylor" also said: "Yes, it can be seen from the contract extension between the Pacers and Ron that they value Ron very much and will definitely not trade him easily!" Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Even if we use Corey to trade, won't they talk to us?" "Master Baylor" frowned slightly and said: "Darling, you have to know that we also attach great importance to Corey. This level of attention can be said to be second only to you in our team!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Of course I know! But I can also tell you very straightforwardly, if the team has the current lineup, we will be very happy if we can reach the playoffs. If we want to go further, there is almost no chance. Maybe. But if Ron comes maybe we can think about how far we can go in the playoffs!" "Master Baylor" turned to look at Dunleavy, and saw the old man nodded and said: "Darling is right. If Ron can join, our strength can indeed be improved." "Master Baylor" lowered his head and thought for a long time, finally raised his head and said: "This matter is very important. I need to think about it carefully. Can you give me a few days?" Wang Dalin nodded and said: "Okay, no problem!" Dunleavy also said: "You have to think about it carefully, but I think Darling's suggestion is very good. Please consider it carefully!" After coming out of Mr. Belle¡¯s office, Wang Dalin declined Dunleavy¡¯s dinner invitation and returned to his home alone. The design plan for the mansion in Beverly Hills was approved by the city government in September, and construction has been started for nearly two months now Due to the large amount of work, it will take at least half a year to be completed. It will take several months to renovate, and if you want to move in it will be at least the end of next year. ¡­¡­ On the evening of November 27, something embarrassing happened again to Wang Dalin. In the home game against the Nets, he made only 6 of 19 shots, including 1 of 7 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws. He only scored 18 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Not surprisingly, the Clippers lost this game 86:92. ¡°Scoring less than 20 points in two consecutive games also set Wang Dalin¡¯s lowest record since his sophomore year. If this kind of quasi-triple-double data were used by someone else, the media might write an article to praise him, but this person is Wang Dalin. The reporters will not be polite to him, and they will criticize him one after another. In fact, Wang Dalin¡¯s average statistics this season are not bad. So far, he has averaged 34.7 points, 11.9 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.7 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 52.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 43%, and a free throw percentage of 84.2%. ?Compared to last season, his personal data this season is actually slightly better, but who do reporters care about this? They only saw Wang Dalin¡¯s relatively sluggish performance in three consecutive games, and they began to pick on him in various ways, almost describing him as a cancer for the Clippers. In this regard, Wang Dalin just said - "Haha!" In the home game against the Nuggets on November 29, Wang Dalin made 12 of 20 shots from the field, including 4 of 7 three-pointers, 13 of 14 free throws, and scored 41 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, and 3 steals. Blocked shots and led the Clippers to a 102:98 victory over their opponents. The side effects of the "Super God Pickled Pepper" were finally exhausted. Wang Dalin used a long-lost 40+ large triple-double to declare to the world that he was still the terrifying "God of Death". The good news didn¡¯t stop there. That night, he received a call from ¡°Baylor¡± He had some clues about the deal between Maggette and Artest! The Clippers' offer is Maggette and a 2004 second-round pick, while the Pacers need to send Artest and some cash. Maggette signed a five-year $35 million contract with the Clippers, which is the same $7 million each year. Artest's annual salary this season is only $5.47 million, so the Pacers need to add Part of the cash is used to balance the difference between their salaries. Although the deal has not yet been finalized, "Baylor" told Wang Dalin that "Forcing King" Larry Bird has verbally agreed, and Artest will join the Clippers soon. This is really great news! For this reason, Wang Dalin even took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, opened the bottle cap and blew down it. With Artest¡¯s iron-blooded defense, even this season, Wang Dalin feels that he can slightly improve his final goal (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)"Tell Wang Dalin that "Forcing King" Larry Bird has verbally agreed that Artest will join the Clippers soon.

On the evening of December 1st, the Clippers played at home against the Spurs, who have a "GDP combination". The two core players of the Clippers performed well. Maggette continued his good form in the previous games. He made 8 of 17 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 22 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists. With 1 steal and 1 block, Wang Dalin also contributed 30 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks very efficiently. But it is a pity that except for them, everyone else on the Clippers was in poor condition, so they lost the first game in December 96:104 as expected. For the Spurs, Tim Duncan made 10 of 19 shots from the field, plus 7 of 10 free throws. He scored 27 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks. Ginobili and Parker also scored 19 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals respectively, and 18 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal respectively. It is worth mentioning that Bruce Bowen This guy actually wanted to step on Wang Dalin again, but Wang Dalin stepped on him directly. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by Wang Dalin now has a "copper skin and iron bone badge" body protection, which is really invulnerable. What can Bowen do with his tricks? As long as he is on the court, no matter what underhanded moves will have any effect on Wang Dalin, unless a direct conflict breaks out the "Copper Skin and Iron Bone Badge" only protects various basketball-related actions on the court. If there is a fight, , you will still get hurt if you should. Seeing his old teammate's extremely painful expression as he was being carried off the field on a stretcher. His toe bone was either broken or cracked, but Wang Dalin didn't feel sorry for him at all This kind of scum deserves to be lying in the hospital every day. ! When you extend your sinful toes to others, you should be mentally prepared to be stepped on and broken. Doing bad things also involves taking risks! (Writing this, Lao Wang can¡¯t wait for O¡¯Neal to return to the game and step on the foot of the alphabet guy until it shatters and fractures. Will he dare to step on it in the future? Damn it, this is really infuriating!) At the post-game press conference, Popovich actually expressed his dissatisfaction to reporters, almost unabashedly saying that Wang Dalin deliberately hurt Bruce Bowen. In this regard, Wang Dalin just smiled at the reporter and said: "He said I did it on purpose? Do you think I, an MVP, would deliberately hurt a role player? What good does this do to me?" Then he smiled at reporters and said: "I understand Coach Popovich very well, but what kind of player Bruce is I don't think I need to say more at all? You can think about it, it's because he has injured so many people. , or is it because I hurt more people?¡± The answer is obviousall the reporters just smiled knowingly. On December 2, this matter continued to ferment, because Popovich brought up the matter of Bowen stepping on Wang Dalin last season. He used this matter to prove that Wang Dalin was a deliberate act of revenge. However, except for the local media in San Antonio, the major media in North America ignored him because they had more important news to release. Yes, fans are obviously more interested in November's Player of the Month than who stepped on whose foot or who stepped on whom. The Eastern Conference's Best of the Month was won by Jermaine O'Neal of the Pacers. In the games at the end of October and November, he averaged 23.9 points, 12.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.3 steals, and 2.7 blocks per game, and shot 52.4% from the field. No less than Tim Duncan, Chris Webber and Kevin Garnett. In the Eastern Conference, this kind of performance is of course unique among all inside players, and the Pacers have a good record. Who else is qualified to win this award if not him? It¡¯s hard to choose in the West If you only look at personal data, Wang Dalin averaged 35.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.8 blocks in the previous 12 games, shooting 52.9% from the field and 44% from the three-point range. , with a free throw percentage of 85.2%, he is definitely the undisputed number one in the league. However, due to the schedule, the Clippers only played 12 games, and only had 7 wins and 5 losses. Their record was a bit low, which will of course affect Wang Dalin. In addition, Wang Dalin's performance in three consecutive games was sluggish, and even some fans criticized him, so this time the Western Conference Player of the Month was taken away by Shaquille O'Neal. The Lakers have 14 wins and 3 losses since the start of this season, ranking first in the Western Conference, and O'Neal occasionally averages 23.9 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.6 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of over 60%, so he is indeed qualified to be elected. this award. Taking advantage of this day off, Wang Dalin met with a real estate agent in Detroit, who brought him $420,000 in cash This was the money he paid for selling the house on the Detroit River. Of course, in order to sell the house better, he also bought his own "Ford F-150", so after careful calculation, the price of the house was close to 400,000 US dollars. &nBlocking shots doesn't seem to be anything to complain about. After all, everyone is used to him playing this kind of data. On the afternoon of December 6, during the Clippers¡¯ routine training, Artest reported for duty carrying a large backpack. Wang Dalin went up and gave him a bear hug, saying excitedly: "It's great that you are finally here!" Seeing that the team boss welcomed him so warmly, and that his agent had previously revealed some secrets about this transaction to him, Artest already knew that the reason why he came to Los Angeles was entirely because of Wang Dalin, so His favorable impression of Wang Dalin almost instantly exploded. Wang Dalin continued: "Now that you are here, let us have a big fight, right?" Artest nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's have a big fight!" The world has only seen Artest¡¯s super defensive strength, and obviously has insufficient understanding of his offense. As a senior fan, Wang Dalin is not so superficial. In the original time and space, Artest only averaged 18+ points per game in the 2003-2004 season, but he averaged 24+ points per game in the 7 games of the 2004-2005 season. If it weren't for " "The Palace Incident at Auburn Hills" was suspended for almost a whole season. Who knows what heights he will reach? Wang Dalin believes that if he had not wasted that season, his offensive power might have surpassed Maggette. This is by no means a random guess! On December 7, the Clippers faced the Timberwolves at home. Artest played for the Clippers for the first time. Dunleavy ranked him second to last during his debut, which was equivalent to directly establishing his "second boss" status. When Artest came on the stage, thunderous applause suddenly erupted in the "Staples Center Arena". At this moment, Artest was extremely honored. He had secretly vowed in his heart that he must win the championship for the Clippers. Win at least one championship trophy. However, Artest was extremely disappointed when the game ended, because the Clippers lost They lost to the Timberwolves 104:106! In fact, his personal performance is already very good. Not only did he defend the opponent's All-Star forward "Madman" Sprewell to only 6 of 17 shots, but his performance on the offensive end was also extremely good. In this campaign, Artest made 8 of 17 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 21 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. Team boss Wang Dalin performed even better. He made 10 of 19 shots from the field, including 3 of 8 three-pointers and 10 of 12 free throws. He scored 33 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, a huge triple-double. . The reason why they lost was because Artest failed to prevent Garnett's three-pointer at the last moment Yes, they were defeated by a "hard special"! However, neither Wang Dalin nor head coach Dunleavy cared too much about this defeat. After all, Artest could immediately integrate into the team's offensive and defensive system when he arrived. This performance is already very good. On December 9, the Clippers soldiers will fly to Sacramento, where they will challenge the Kings, currently second in the Western Conference (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Sorry, I have to take leave again today Sorry, I have to take another day off today. Cavan is of course the main reason, and the second reason is that the writing plan for subsequent chapters must be reorganized, including the arrangement of the main competitions this season, all winning and losing fields, and the addition of daily interesting things. And many readers have said that Lao Wang only knows how to write about competitions, and he writes like a running account for a long time. Lao Wang can only say sorry, the writing is not enough, it is indeed not written well, and there is too little daily writing, the protagonist comes into contact with too few people, there are too few interesting things that can happen, and there are too few emotional lines. terribly sorry! Also thank you for your long-term support! Pharaoh gets a good job. Tonight, he may have liver code. . . Please look forward to the following chapters! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 243 The most controversial best of the month (a 10,000-word chapter, please vote and reward!) The Clippers just lost to the Timberwolves, and then they had to go through back-to-back games at home and away. Their opponents were the Western Conference giants like the Kings and Mavericks To be honest, head coach Dunleavy and most of the players were a little less confident. On the contrary, Artest, who just joined, seems very relaxed. It's not that he doesn't care about winning or losing, it's just that he is naturally more nervous. Seeing him in this state, Wang Dalin felt pretty good Being able to stay relaxed when facing a strong enemy is much better than being nervous anyway. In the last game, they lost to the Timberwolves by only 2 points. All the Clippers generals were very unhappy, but if they lost, they lost, and there was nothing to complain about. In fact, the quality of Artest's last defense was already very high. His palms almost completely blocked Garnett's sight. But sometimes luck can't stop him. "Hard" shots are just luck. The game-winning three-pointer instantly wiped out Artest's efforts. You know, before that three-pointer was made, the "hard" three-pointer was only 1 of 6 What else is this if it's not luck? On the afternoon of December 9, the Clippers players conducted a light adaptability training session, which lasted only about an hour. Wang Dalin noticed that Wang Zhizhi¡¯s mood seemed a little not right, uh No, it should be said that it was not just this time that something was wrong, but something was wrong with him at least a week ago. After the training, all the team members returned to the hotel to take a short rest. Taking advantage of his free time, Wang Dalin went directly to Wang Zhizhi¡¯s room. "Dalin, why are you here?" Wang Zhizhi was naked from the waist up when he opened the door. He was only wearing a pair of large shorts and slippers. His hair was still a little wet. He had obviously just taken a shower. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I just wanted to come over and have a chat with you!¡± Wang Dalin said with a slight smile. "Come in, sit wherever you want Well, what would you like to drink? Gatorade or mineral water?" Wang Zhizhi turned and walked into the room, opened the refrigerator and wanted to get a bottle of drink for Wang Dalin. "Let's go with Gatorade!" Wang Dalin walked into the room and sat down on the sofa. He looked at the bed in the room and said, "You can't sleep well on this bed, right?" Wang Zhizhi handed him the drink with a wry smile and said, "The hotel has been lengthened, how can it be short?" Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Wang Zhizhi asked: "Da Lin, what do you want to see me for?" Wang Dalin pondered for a moment and said: "Generally speaking, what's happened to you recently? Why do I feel that something is not right with you?" During this period of time, Wang Zhizhi has indeed become much more silent than before Of course, his character was quite boring originally. It was Wang Dalin who often enlightened him before, and he became slightly more cheerful than himself in the original history. However, during this period He seemed to be back to his former self. Wang Zhizhi lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then raised his head and smiled: "Maybe I'm a naturally pessimistic person I always feel that if I don't make any progress this season, I may not be able to stay in the United States when my contract expires next summer. !¡± He paused for a moment, then showed a self-deprecating smile and said: "As you know, our team has played 16 games this season, and my average playing time per game is less than 14 minutes, which is less than last season I just feelthe team seems to need me less and less!" Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Is this why you have a miserable face all day long?" Wang Zhizhi nodded and said, "Yes!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Although you play less time than before, your data has not dropped. What does this mean? It means that your efficiency is higher than before, so what do you have to worry about?" Wang Zhizhi still looked worried and said: "But the Clippers haven't talked to me about renewing my contract yet. My agent told me the Clippers probably won't renew my contract!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Absolutely, why are you worried? With your current performance, even if the Clippers don't renew your contract, don't other NBA teams want you? I really don't believe it, someone like you can No team wants a big player who can shoot three-pointers?" Seeing that Wang Zhizhi still wanted to refute him, Wang Dalin directly interrupted him and said: "If it doesn't work out, I'll go talk to Elgin. There shouldn't be much problem in renewing a contract with you Hey, I'm going to say something ugly up front I Can¡¯t you guarantee the contract amount?¡± Wang Zhizhi laughed self-deprecatingly: "As long as I can continue to play in the NBA, I will be satisfied even with the basic salary. How can I be picky?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "The basic salary is definitely not enough! With your data and performance, at least it should be more than 1 million per year If other teams raise the price, 2 million or 3 million are not uncommon."; This is also the main reason why Wang Dalin suggested "Baylor" to trade him If it's a game, Wang Dalin is worthy of everyone, but if it's a fight, it's better to find a "bodyguard" by his side. ??Besides, is there any NBA championship team so far that does not have one or two bad guys in the team? In the past, the Bulls had Rodman, the Spurs had Bowen, the Pistons had Ben, and the Lakers O'Neal himself was enough of a deterrent. Looking at the Clippers, now that they have Mourning and Artest on the team, who dares to act arrogantly? ???????????? Let¡¯s get back to the game After Artest scored one, the Kings pressed on again. This time Miller came out to set a screen for Peja and directly blocked Artest. Peja took a step back dribbling and raised his hand to shootthe ball went in again! Artest suddenly felt a little frustrated. This time, his attention was all focused on Peja, and he didn't notice that Miller had come to his side and made a pick-and-roll action. If he could see it in advance, he would definitely be able to squeeze through with his strength, and Peja would not be given the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer from the point guard. Wang Dalin patted him on the shoulder at the right time and gave him a sunny smile: "It's okay. I'll pass the ball to you later. If you hit him, won't you return it?" Artest¡¯s face finally turned gloomy: ¡°Okay, I will run out of a good position!¡± The game lasted 1 minute and 32 seconds, and the two sides battled to a score of 4:5. The Kings led by 1 point, and a fierce battle had just begun (remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 244 Not convinced, right? very good! More than 8 minutes into the first quarter, Wang Dalin was replaced by Dunleavy. Sitting on the bench and looking at the bench on the other side, Chris Webber was also replaced and had a rest. Wang Dalin felt as if he was in another world. When he was gradually making a name for himself in the league three years ago, some people already compared him to Webber because they have similar styles of play and both are big players with comprehensive skills. By the end of his rookie season, this voice became more and more frequent, because at that time his performance on the court became more and more like Webber. But as time goes by, people gradually realize that Webb is not the template for Darling King at all. There is even no one in the league who can be his template, because he is too strong! For example, last season he averaged 32.8 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.9 blocks per game. How can these be the numbers that a player in the modern basketball era can produce? This season, his average data per game has even reached 32.7 points, 13.6 rebounds, 9.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.1 blocks, which is an improvement over last season. To put it bluntly, even "old gangster" Michael Jordan can't beat this data! (Westbrook: That¡¯s because you haven¡¯t seen my performance yet, otherwise you wouldn¡¯t be so strange!) Jordan¡¯s offensive power is of course no problem, averaging 32.7 points per game is not too difficult for him, but he averages 13.6 rebounds and 9.6 assists per game What do you want him to do? Assists are okay, but I can feed my teammates the ball, but how can it be so easy to reach the level of the season's rebounding leader? Unless Jordan, Rodman and Kidd are combined, there is a chance to produce such data. ¡­¡­ In the first quarter, the Clippers trailed by 1 point at 24:25. At the beginning of the second quarter, Eddie House, who came on as a substitute for the Clippers, suddenly showed off his power and hit two consecutive three-pointers. The Clippers were short of 1 point. Within minutes, the score was overtaken, leading by 5 points. Adelman frowned slightly and took advantage of the dead ball to call a timeout. Originally, he didn't want to replace Webber so soon, but Eddie House's two three-pointers obviously disrupted his layout. If he didn't replace Webber to stabilize the situation, what if the Clippers had another one? Anyone who suddenly breaks out will be in trouble. Dunleavy thought it was even simpler Anyway, as long as you go to Weber, I will go to Wang Dalin! Wang Dalin came on the stage again and made a forced breakthrough, which directly caused Weber's defensive foul. Although this was only Weber's second foul, it was only the beginning of the second quarter, and this foul obviously came too early. Adelman frowned even more. He did not expect that an experienced veteran like Weber would receive his second foul so early. Now the Kings are a bit embarrassed Replace Webb. Who knows what kind of climax the Clippers will take the opportunity to create? If you don¡¯t replace him, who knows if he will get his third or fourth foul in the first half? If the team leader Webber gets into foul trouble, this game will be difficult to play. Adelman hesitated for a moment and decided to let Webber stay on the court. Now is the critical moment. If he is replaced rashly, no one can limit the opponent Wang Dalin In fact, even Weber can't do anything to Wang Dalin, but he can still make a few comebacks on the offensive end. . Wang Dalin made two steady free throws, and the point difference between the two sides has reached 7 points. This point difference is very subtle. Once the Clippers gain momentum, or the Kings make one or two mistakes on the defensive end, the point difference is likely to become double digits immediately. ?????????????????????? If the Kings can defend against the Clippers two or three times in a row, and they can hit a few more success rates, they may be able to tie the score or even overtake it soon. Since the success rate is important, of course the Kings give the ball to Webber to attack. Weber can¡¯t pass the ball in this attack. He must score a goal under Wang Dalin¡¯s defense or cause Wang Dalin to commit a defensive foul. Only in this way can it be regarded as a counterattack against Wang Dalin¡¯s attack just now. Weber started on the spot, kicked off with his left foot like a rabbit, and rushed past Wang Dalin from the left with a "swish". Wang Dalin hurriedly turned around and chased back, protecting his inside position with his whole body and letting Webber go to the outside There was also Artest on this side to help defend, and it was not easy for Webber to go straight for a layup. Webber had already rushed into the three-second zone, and suddenly stopped when he took the second step Wang Dalin thought he would make a layup immediately, but he was already jumping in the air. WeberHall and Kobe came to halftime when the Clippers were warming up. "Hahaha I'm laughing so hard Darling King, are you here too?" Kobe saw Wang Dalin's depressed look on his face and laughed out loud without grace. O'Neal on the side was not a good guy either. He hugged Kobe's shoulders and laughed so hard that Wang Dalin almost thought he was going to fall down and perform a street dance solo. "Heythat's enough for you two!" Wang Dalin said angrily, "If you laugh againI'm going to be really angry!" O'Neal suppressed his laughter and said, "You can be angry if you want. Isn't it possible that I'm afraid of you?" Kobe Bryant also spoke up: "That's right! Shaq and I are going to give you a good beating tonight. Do you still dare to call yourself the best in the West?" Wang Dalin instantly turned his anger into a smile and said: "So you two were working for the best thing in the western region last month? What, you are not convinced, right? Very good! If you are not convinced, I will beat you tonight until you are convinced" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 246 ¡°Dream Dance Steps¡± Reappears in the World With Karl Malone's current physical condition, his original flexible and fast movements have disappeared. What he relies on is nothing more than brute strength and extremely rich game experience. So when Wang Dalin caught the ball with his back in the mid-range and wanted to beat him in singles, He was quite happy in his heart. If Wang Dalin really had to use the ball to attack him, he would basically attack him one at a time, but he is not afraid of this kind of back attack. At least it is impossible for Wang Dalin to forcefully advance. From Malone's point of view, his strength is definitely among the top in the entire league. Even if O'Neal wants to shake him in a short time, it will not be easy, let alone Wang Dalin? But when Wang Dalin exerted his strength to push back, Ma Long suddenly let out a muffled groan, and a look of horror appeared on his face Damn it! Why is this guy so strong? You must know that Karl Malone is known as "the most powerful power forward in NBA history". He has been in the league for nearly 20 years. Apart from O'Neal, he has never defeated anyone in terms of strength. Even though he is now old and frail, he thinks that there will never be anyone in the alliance who can surpass him in strength by more than one palm. There are only seven or eight people who can match his own strength at most. But just now Wang Dalin He almost couldn't resist it when he exerted all his strength. How could this not frighten him? Wang Dalin also sighed "I thought that after I put on the 'Strength Bracelet', I would have a strength of 93 and no one could beat him except O'Neal, but I didn't expect that even the 40-year-old Malone couldn't bear it. This guy How strong must it have been at its peak?" In fact, he overestimated Ma Long. Ma Long's power was strong, but after all, he was already 40 years old, and it was impossible for him to still have the magical power he had when he was young. ¡°If he tried to attack again, Ma Long would be defeated on the spot after one or two blows at most. However, he had already been deeply impressed by Ma Long¡¯s amazing power in his previous life, and coupled with that blow just now, he misjudged Ma Long¡¯s power. Since using brute force is not going to work, let's just play with technologyWang Dalin really wanted to do it, after all, he never thought that he wanted to play like O'Neal. Wang Dalin shook his shoulders, then turned around and jumped back to play the ball, which was a cool move. Ma Long tried his best to defend, but his height and wingspan were far inferior to Wang Dalin's, and his jumping ability was getting worse and worse His hands couldn't even cover Wang Dalin's face, and he could lead Wang Dalin. How much interference is there? This goal was scored without any fuss, and it didn¡¯t even touch the net. Ma Long¡¯s face was as calm as water, but in his heart he couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit of the sadness of a hero in his twilight years Humph! If I were still young, could I really not guard this ball? But later he thought about it carefullyit seemed that he really couldn't prevent it! In the 1980s and 1990s, Malone's height of 206cm was definitely not short for the fourth position, and his wingspan of 214cm was also good, but in this era it is a bit insufficient. Chris Webber, the shortest among the current "four power forwards", is 208cm tall. Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Rasheed Wallace are all over 210cm tall. Coupled with the fact that the "veteran players" who are becoming more and more fierce nowadays are actually 213cm tall, the "standard height" of the league's power forwards has already improved a lot. ??Some people say, ¡°I¡¯m not tall enough and I¡¯m not fast enough¡±? Yes, but now that Karl Malone is over forty years old, how can he still have speed? When meeting other opponents, he can still rely on his rich defensive experience, especially in defensive positions, but against Wang Dalin, how can he dare to stay away from him? Who doesn¡¯t know that what Wang Dalin is best at is shooting. As long as you stay a little farther away from him, he can instantly disgrace you with accurate shooting. Seeing that Malone¡¯s defense was completely unable to restrain Wang Dalin, Phil Jackson frowned slightly and began to think of countermeasures in his mind¡ª¡ª "Switch to Fox to defend?" "Nohe can't guard it eitherI already tried it last season!" "How about let Kobe guard him in misplaced positions?" "In this case, Kobe's energy on the offensive end may not be enough, and it is still a bit inappropriate!" "what can we do about it?" If the current head coach of the Lakers is Rick Carlisle, he will not hesitate to arrange Kobe Bryant, who has the strongest perimeter defense ability, to guard Wang Dalin. After all, most of Wang Dalin's offense is initiated from the outside. As for the offensive end isn't there O'Neal? With the inside configuration of the Clippers, who can stop O'Neal's indiscriminate bombardment? Mourning? He couldn¡¯t guard O¡¯Neal when he was at his peak, let alone now??And the impact on the offensive end is also stronger. During this period, Barnes was not the fierce perimeter defender that he would become in later generations. He often behaved very irritably on the court, was often out of position defensively, and was poor at mid- and long-range shooting. At the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Dalin obviously reduced his personal offense and started to play the routine of dealing cards from a high position. For a while, all four people who came on the bench were like gods, and they succeeded one after another. Especially Wang Zhizhi, who made 3 of 5 shots in just four minutes, one of which was a three-pointer, humiliating the Lakers' backup center Medvedenko. Wang Dalin was of course very pleased to see Wang Zhizhi performing so well After all, he had to pass the ball to his teammates, so why not pass a few more passes to his brothers? And Wang Zhizhi can turn his passes into assists again and again, which is really impressive. It seems that after talking to Wang Dalin last time, Wang Zhizhi's mood has improved significantly and he is much more confident on the court. He has never lacked firepower on the offensive end, but his defense is a bit stretched, but for a character like Medvedenko, what can he do if his defense is not good? By the time the main players of both sides came on the court again, the Lakers not only failed to narrow the point difference, but had already been stretched to double digits. Probably because he calmed down completely during the off-court break, O'Neal immediately started making waves inside the Clippers as soon as he came on the court. No matter how hard Mourning tried, he couldn't stop his inside attack. Moreover, O'Neal's free throws tonight were quite accurate. By the middle of the second quarter, he had already made 5 of 6 shots. This also made Dunleavy completely give up the "shark-killing tactic" If he insisted on "shark-killing" tonight, he would probably be The one who got killed was the Clippers. Seeing that the points difference between the two sides was narrowing little by little, Wang Dalin finally took over the game. His various unanswerable shots made the opponent's defenders complain, and his breakthrough also made the opponent's so-called "defensive champion" lose face. Phil Jackson arranged for Malone, Fox and Kobe to take turns defending Wang Dalin, but they were still unable to limit his offense. He had to signal Kobe and O'Neal to directly fight against Wang Dalin. The second quarter of this game was obviously much more exciting than the first quarter. After all, it was an attack, so it was definitely much more exciting than a defensive battle The audience would make various exclamations and screams from time to time. At the end of the first half, the Clippers still led by 3 points at 65:62, but after the break, the Lakers' offense took it to a new level. O'Neal and Kobe Bryant's offensive firepower is still the same, Payton also began to frequently break through Yalic to get excellent offensive opportunities, and Malone also made two goals from the mid-range. "The f4 combination" finally showed its true power. When they go all out, even if only three of the four people show their strength, few teams in the league can resist it. ¡°Besides, the four of them are showing off their power at the same time in this game. To be blunt under the circumstances they are invincible! But Wang Dalin did not give up, or he could not give up After all, he had a mission! Since I can¡¯t defend you, I might as well fight you! The four of you together are great, but in the end there is only one basketball, and you still have to give the ball to someone to complete the offense. And I¡¯m simple I don¡¯t care who of you is going to defend me, anyway, as long as I want to attack, none of you can stop me! After a fierce coaching battle that was evenly matched at halftime, the second half of this Los Angeles derby really entered the fierce competition (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 247 The system is upgraded again Phil Jackson really didn't expect that the Clippers could lead the Lakers in the score. He originally thought that the offensive firepower of the Lakers' "f4 combination" in the second half of the second quarter was enough to destroy all opponents, but the Clippers actually Still survived. In the third quarter, the competition between the two sides became more intense, but the Clippers still firmly held the advantage. Even though O'Neal and Kobe both played super high offensive efficiency, they still could not reverse the situation. Phil Jackson didn't know why, but Wang Dalin knew very well In order to complete the task and defeat the powerful Lakers tonight, he had already used "touch you" on Quentin before the game started. "Head", and then used both "Roaring God" and "Roar of the Wolf King" in the game. But the score still cannot be opened. If the game continues like this, who knows whether the Lakers will turn defeat into victory at the last moment of the game? After all, when it comes to the team's heritage, the Clippers can't compare with the Lakers. The heritage of such a wealthy team usually requires several generations of accumulation. At this time, even if Wang Dalin's strength is doubled, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. It is difficult to change this situation. ¡°Should I use ¡®Super God Pickled Pepper¡¯?¡± Wang Dalin once again fell into a dilemma. Speaking of which, the "Super God Pickled Pepper" trick is really nonsense. It is definitely a damaging trick of "killing three thousand enemies and damaging yourself by eight hundred" After using it last time, Wang Dalin's shooting percentage in the next three games was only 35.7%. The three-point shooting percentage is only 20%, and the state is simply too bleak! ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I can¡¯t guarantee that I¡¯ll win if I use it tonight, but it¡¯s definitely better than not using it. At least it can increase my ability value by 2%-5%! Especially after using this move, Wang Dalin's three-point ability value will definitely increase to above 95, and he will be able to equip the "Hao's Long-range Shot" immediately This is a powerful weapon that can shock the world and make ghosts and gods cry! Wang Dalin refuses to believe that with the "Hao Zhi Long Shot", he can still defeat the Lakers? These days, Ray Allen can be called "the best three-point shooter in the league". I directly transformed into a "primary school student" and asked you if you are afraid? In the second half of the third quarter, when the Lakers made a spurt to take the lead, Wang Dalin finally couldn't help but use the "Super God Pickled Pepper" If he died, he would die, even if I don't want it in the next three games, tonight The Lakers must be destroyed first! So, in just the last three minutes of the third quarter, Wang Dalin made 3 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line, overtaking the score in one fell swoop, and led the Clippers to end the third quarter with 83:77. "Super God Pickled Pepper" is really powerful, and the effect of "Hao Zhi Long Shot" is even more impressive! Compared with the "genuine" "elementary schoolboy" of later generations, Wang Dalin's three-point shooting is undoubtedly more unsolvable. After all, his height is 211cm, while the "elementary schoolboy"'s height of 191cm is said to still have a little water. In terms of anti-interference, Wang Dalin obviously has the advantage. And compared to "elementary school students" who use all kinds of dazzling dribbling skills just to get a little space to take action Wang Dalin often only needs his teammates to set up a simple single-block screen for him to take action, and sometimes even You don¡¯t even need cover! With my height, wingspan, and jumping I just shot against your defense, what can you do to me? However, after actually assembling the "Hao's Long-range Shot", Wang Dalin found that the bonus of this move to him was not as great as imagined. Because his three-point shooting was already very good, and with the addition of "Hao's long-range shooting", the so-called ultra-long three-point shooting is more accurate than before, but there is no difference in regular three-point shooting. Wang Dalin was also puzzled by this. During the break, he sat on the bench and thought about it again and again, and finally figured it out. In fact, this reason is very simple, just because of the difference between users Think about it, although Stephen Curry in later generations is famous for various three-pointers, his mid-range shooting is not very strong. He mainly attacks Apart from three-pointers, the method is nothing more than breaking through to the basket to finish. Of course, Curry's finishing rate at the basket is still very high, with a career average of close to 60% per game, which is definitely very high for a small point guard. But here¡¯s the problem. Starting from the 2014-1015 season, Curry¡¯s average number of three-point attempts per game in the following seasons will never be less than 11, and what is his total number of attempts per game? At most, it would be 17 or 18 times, right? In other words, Curry's three-point shots have accounted for more than 60% of his total shots, so he relies more on the abnormal skill of "Hao Zhi Long Shot" Of course, it is only the system that determines that he has this ability. An S-level star skill. There is a person who worked with Curry for three years.; 'Road to Superstar': The host must completely defeat all the current S-level superstars in the league in the game, namely Allen Iverson, Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant (new this season) Promoted to superstar level). Note: Comprehensive defeat means that the host must surpass the opponent in points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, field goal percentage, three-point shooting percentage and free throw percentage, and lead the team to defeat the opponent's team! ¡°In addition, after this system upgrade, the original milestone tasks, system mall, badge mall, skill mall, etc. have been updated, please check it yourself!¡± Wang Dalin was silent for a while, then opened the milestone page to check it out. There are now only 6 ¡°single game data milestones¡± left, but the rewards have not changed: "1. If you have a triple-double including steals or blocks in a single game during the NBA regular season, reward: 2 pieces of special equipment will be drawn for free!" "2. Score 70 points in a single game during the NBA regular season. Reward: 'King of the Zone Badge'!" "3. Score 80 points in a single game during the NBA regular season. Reward: 'Copper Skin and Iron Bone Badge'!" "4. If you achieve a quadruple-double in a single game during the NBA regular season (doubles in any four statistics of points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks), you will be rewarded: 'Evergreen Badge'!" "5. Achieve a five-double in a single game during the NBA regular season (doubles in five categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks). Reward: 2 free badges!" "6. Break the NBA regular season single-game record for points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. Reward: The system randomly selects 5 abilities that have not yet reached full value and directly increase them to 99 full value!" "Single-season milestones" have naturally undergone some changes: ¡°1. Winning the ¡®Rebounding King¡¯, ¡®Blocking King¡¯ or ¡®Stealing King¡¯ in the NBA in a single season will be rewarded: corresponding ability value +5!¡± "2. Selected into the NBA's best defensive team for a single season, reward: +3 interior defense, +3 exterior defense!" "3. If you average a triple-double per game in a single season and the team's winning rate reaches more than 70%, you will be rewarded: 'Stealth Action Badge'!" "4. Break any NBA single-season record for points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks, and you will be rewarded: 'Evergreen Badge'!" As for the "All-Star Game Milestone" and "Playoff Milestone", there was no change at all, so Wang Dalin took a cursory look and exited the system interface (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 248 Jessica Alba raising penguins ?? On January 9, the Clippers finally won. They defeated the Raptors, who were struggling for a playoff spot this season, on the road with a score of 97:82. It can be seen from the score that the two sides fought a defensive battle in this game, but the Raptors were obviously inferior in defensive skills, so the Clippers could easily win. Winning the game was quite easy, but Wang Dalin's state was still relatively sluggish. He made 8 of 19 shots, including 2 of 7 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 23 points, 16 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. . Now, for Wang Dalin, as long as he scores less than 30 points in a single game, he is considered to be in a "sluggish state", and his shooting percentage is only 42.1%, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 28.6%, which is indeed very low. Based on his performance this season, his field goal percentage must be at least 55% to be considered normal. As for three-pointers If he doesn't have a field goal percentage of more than 45%, are you embarrassed to come out and see others? To be honest, the biggest contributor to the reason why this game was won so easily was definitely not Wang Dalin, even though he scored a triple-double. Artest made 9 of 16 shots from the field, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 28 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. It is precisely because of his strong defense, coupled with the contribution of Wang Dalin who is not so stretched on the defensive end, that the Clippers were able to allow the opponent to score only 82 points. In addition, Quentin Richardson made 7 of 14 shots from the field, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 19 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. His performance was also quite good. As of the end of the game on January 9, the Clippers have played 33 games this season. Quentin averaged 16.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.9 steals per game, and his three-point shooting rate reached 42.3%, which is the best in the team. The most stable outside shooter besides Wang Dalin. In fact, it is not impossible to give him the title of "Third Leader", but his defense is a little bit worse, with only "3" and no "d". At most, he will be the same as Joe Harris of the later Nets. That's the leveland no one else can shoot three-pointers accurately. On the night of January 9th, the Clippers generals flew back to Los Angeles overnight. There was no game on the 10th, but they had to face the Grizzlies at home on the evening of the 11th, so Dunleavy announced that the team would have a day off and would return on the afternoon of the 11th. Gather together for a light restorative session. The next morning, Wang Dalin got up early, washed briefly, and then went to the dining table to enjoy the delicious breakfast cooked for him by his personal nutritionist. In fact, just after he took up the banner of the "Death Special Training Camp" in Los Angeles last summer, Wang Dalin established a series of private teams for himself, including trainers, nutritionists, physical therapists, etc. This personal nutritionist's name is Tamela Pope. She is also Wang Dalin's personal chef Well, he can cook all kinds of nutritious meals that should be difficult to eat and make them quite delicious. His cooking skills are very good. . ¡°One more thing, Pop lives in Wang Dalin¡¯s house. As long as Wang Dalin is at home, she will be responsible for cooking various nutritious delicacies for him. Pop is a single mother, now over forty years old, but she is blond, blue-eyed and very beautiful, and her figure is extremely hot. She looks less than 30 years old and she is indeed a professional nutritionist. , is to be good at maintenance. Needless to say, trainer Tim Grover is currently the most famous and highest-level basketball trainer in the United States. His annual salary is as high as 1 million US dollars per year, but Wang Dalin knows that he is definitely worth the price. The physiotherapist¡¯s name is Li Xin. He is 34 years old and currently lives in Wang Dalin¡¯s home. This person comes from a family of Chinese medicine practitioners. He has studied Chinese medicine from his father since he was a child. In addition to being good at Chinese medicine physical therapy and massage, he is also very good at diet therapy and health maintenance, so he usually has a lot of interactions with Pop. In addition, Schwartz also assigned a personal assistant named Bruce Tully to Wang Dalin, who was responsible for handling various daily chores for Wang Dalin. For example, he has been keeping an eye on the construction progress of Wang Dalin's new house. . UhBruce Tully's father was a die-hard fan of Bruce Lee, so he named his son "Bruce", hoping that his son would become a Kung Fu superstar like Bruce Lee when he grew up. But it was obvious that his father¡¯s expectations had been shattered. Bruce had no interest in learning kung fu at all. He also majored in business administration in college. After graduation, he worked in several companies and finally came to Schwartz¡¯s company. At present, he is very satisfied with his job. After all, Wang Dalin is kind to others and generous Every time he signs a new endorsement, he will give a big red envelope to the staff around him, and the amount is at least four digits. The average monthly income of Americans these days is only more than 2,000 US dollars. He now has??"Speaking of it, you are quite unusual in raising penguins, but the little guy is really cute!" Alba smiled and said, "I'm going to take it to breed this year. When we have little penguins, how about I give you one?" Wang Dalin hurriedly said: "Forget it, I don't have that much time to take care of it!" Alba said sternly: "Actually, penguins are very easy to raise. It doesn't take much effort Michael Tyson also raised a tiger. Penguins are much easier to raise than tigers!" Wang Dalin said: "Let's talk about it When Rico has a baby, if I can see the situation, I will keep one. Anyway, Tamira always said that she wanted to keep a pet, so I asked her to help take care of the baby. Penguin!" "Who is Tamira?" Alba asked. "She is my nutritionist and my chef!" Wang Dalin said with a smile, "Her cooking skills are very good Well, if you have the opportunity to visit my house in the future, I will let you try her cooking!" Alba smiled and said: "Okay, I will definitely come to your house when I have the opportunity! Uh By the way, your team is currently ranked seventh in the Western Conference. Is your goal this year to reach the playoffs?" Finally, when the topic of basketball came up, Wang Dalin cheered up and said: "It's definitely not as simple as just reaching the playoffs. Our goal now is to at least reach the second round of the playoffs!" Alba said: ¡°But as far as I know, all the teams in the Western Conference this year are very strong, such as the Lakers, Spurs, Timberwolves, Kings and Warriors. It¡¯s not easy to reach the second round, right?¡± Wang Dalin added: "There is also the Grizzlies we will play tomorrow night. They are currently ranked sixth in the Western Conference, which is higher than our team's ranking!" Alba smiled and said: "You mean you may not win tomorrow night, right?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "It's okay In terms of strength, we should be about 50-50 against them. It's normal for whoever wins to lose!" Alba smiled and said: "I will come to cheer you up tomorrow night, you can't lose!" Wang Dalin smiled bitterly and said, "I'll do my best!" ¡­¡­ The two of them were enjoying the food, chatting happily, and enjoying the incomparable sea view not far away. The atmosphere was really comfortable. But neither of them noticed that there was a man sitting in a corner of the restaurant with a camera in his hand, and he had already taken countless photos of them. After all, the scandal two years ago was just a flurry of rumors. As the saying goes, "without a picture, there is no truth." Now that there is a "picture," the media really wants to bring up the old story and hype it up. Will the scandal between the two become the "truth"? ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 249 Scandal breaks out ?? On the evening of January 11, the Clippers will face the Grizzlies at home. This was a fierce battle between seventh and sixth in the Western Conference, so the game attracted the attention of major media. However, on the morning of the 11th, entertainment gossip news took the lead and caused an overwhelming wave of public opinion. Although the scandal between Wang Dalin and Alba was aroused two years ago, due to "no picture and no truth", it was only briefly lively and then disappeared. This time is different. The articles issued by major media have attached n high-resolution photos. In the photos, Wang Dalin and Alba are smiling and talking, looking very intimate Isn't this a real secret date? Originally, Wang Dalin didn¡¯t know about this. After all, he never liked paying attention to entertainment gossip, but Schwartz called. "Darling, please go online and take a look. Photos of you and Jessica Alba dating are everywhere in the entertainment news today Hey, brother, why are you trying to provoke her? I really think my work is too busy. Now, do you want to find something for me to do?" Schwartz¡¯s tone on the phone was quite urgent, as if he was holding a machine gun and pointed it at him. It was obvious that this gold medal agent was really a little angry. Wang Dalin quickly agreed and hung up the phone, then sat in front of the computer and browsed the Internet, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. "Damn it! These entertainment gossip reporters are so powerful, aren't they? How were these photos taken? Why didn't I notice it at all?" He was lamenting the pervasiveness of gossip reporters when the cell phone on the table rang again. He picked it up and sawit was Jessica Alba! "It seems she knows it too!" Wang Dalin felt uneasy, but he still pressed the answer button. "Darling, have you seen it online?" "Well, I'm watching I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that after such a long time, we would be rumored to be involved in an affair again!" "Oh, please don't say you're sorry. I'm the one who should say sorry If I hadn't invited you to dinner, those gossip reporters wouldn't have had the chance to take pictures of us!" "Okay, Jessica, let's not say anything sorry here. The most important thing now is to come up with a proper solution, otherwise they will definitely make this fire get worse!" ¡°What¡¯s your agent¡¯s opinion?¡± "He should be thinking of a solution now. Where is your agent? What did he say?" "My agentI told you not to be angry" "Huh? Is there anything wrong?" "He said taking advantage of the media's hype about our affair, with this popularity, he can help me win an important role in the new movie that director Tim Story is preparing to shoot!" "Uh your agent is really realistic!" "Darling, I'm really sorry, believe me In fact, Jeff is a very good person. He did all this just to make my career develop better I'm really sorry!" "Jeff? Waitwhat's your agent's name?" "His name is Jeff Schwartz. It is said that he is a very good agent in your sports world. You should have heard of his name, right?" "Fuck!" ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, Darling?¡± "Jessica I'm sorry for the foul language I just said Sorry, I have a very important call to make. Let's hang up first, okay?" "OK Bye!" "Bye-Bye!" After hanging up the phone, Wang Dalin couldn't wait to call Schwartz. As soon as the call was connected, Wang Dalin immediately yelled at him: "Hey Jeff, why didn't you tell me that you were Jessica's agent?" Schwartz smiled and said: "It seems you already knowthat's fine, I'm just about to discuss this public relations plan with you!" "Public relations? What is public relations? Jessica and I have nothing to do, so why do we need public relations?" "Darling, don't get excited, listen to me first. This matter can be big or small now. If you want to eliminate the scandal, even if it is very simple, you and Jessica can directly hold a press conference and publicly declare that you and the other party are just ordinary friends. Of course the media won¡¯t be willing to stop just yet, but they can¡¯t do anything big!¡± "It's very simple. Can't you just help me organize a press conference?" "Listen to me My suggestion is to take advantage of this trend to hype up your and Jessica's popularity. Think about it, you are single and Jessica is also single."?Are you bothered? That girl is so beautiful. If it were me, well if I were thirty years younger, would you believe that I would have to propose to her right away? " Wang Dalin was stunned He didn't expect that the always serious old Dunleavy could show such a side. It seems that "the true nature of a man" really makes sense! "Okay, no more kidding!" Old Dunleavy saw that all the players had arrived, so he gathered everyone and shouted loudly, "I believe everyone knows the importance of tonight's game, so I don't need to say more. I only have one Demandwe must win the Grizzlies!" Everyone shouted in unison: "We will definitely win!" Seeing the high morale of the players, Old Dunleavy showed a pleased smile on his face, and then arranged for everyone to start today's training session. There was a game in the evening, and everyone only did some very light training. In addition to shooting and layups, they also practiced targeted defensive formations. Pau Gasol's condition is getting better and better recently. He can score 20+10 double-doubles in almost every game. In one game, he even scored 37 points, 17 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks. Just look at this The data is almost the same as that of Wang Dalin. And at the end of November, the Grizzlies also traded Bonchy Wells from the Trail Blazers, which further improved their bench depth. Originally, Shane Battier on their bench was already strong enough, but now with Bunchy Wells added to the mix, Wang Dalin felt that the strength of their second team was indeed terrifying, even if super players like the Lakers, Kings, and Timberwolves were The strong teams are slightly inferior to them. However, the outcome of the game does not only depend on the strength of the second lineup, but the competition of the starting lineup is the most important. Compared with the starting lineup, the Clippers are not afraid of the Grizzlies (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 250 Darling-Wang "waste teammates"? ?? This season¡¯s regular season Clippers mainly rotate 11 players, among which Mourning, Wang Dalin, Artest, Quentin and Yalic are of course the unbeatable starters. In the substitute lineup, Wang Zhizhi, House, Korver, Simmons, Wilcox, and Drobiak can more or less get a certain amount of playing time, while Eli, Barnes, Dulin, and Fulin can all get a certain amount of playing time. Ram plays very little time and is considered a standard "bench player". Considering that Barnes has good swing ability and Dulin can sometimes play at the second position, "Baylor" sought the advice of the old Dunleavy and rushed to meet the January 10th deadline. Cut Fram out. Frum signed a non-guaranteed basic salary contract with the Clippers during last offseason. He performed well in last year's summer league, averaging 17.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 43.7. %. Fram also performed well in the preseason last October. He averaged 18 minutes per game, contributed 7.4 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists, and shot 41.9% from three-point range. However, in the regular season, his performance is a bit stretched So far, he has only played 7 games in total, averaging 9.6 minutes per game, scoring 2.2 points, 0.5 rebounds, and 0.3 assists, shooting 37.5% from the field, and three-pointers. Hit rate 30.6%. It can be seen from the data that Frum is quite comfortable in low-intensity confrontations, but once it comes to high-intensity confrontations in the regular season this white pitcher's strength is still not up to the NBA level after all, so he can only Accept the fate of being abandoned by the team. However, he did not bow to fate. He said that he would join a team in the NBA Development League to polish his skills and improve his ability to fight. Sooner or later, he would return to the NBA. As the regular season approaches the halfway point, NBA teams are inevitably experiencing some injuries. For example, Lakers veteran Karl Malone announced an indefinite hiatus due to a recurrence of his knee injury. According to the Lakers team doctor, Malone will be out for at least 2- 3 months. If you want to come back, it is estimated that it will not be until the end of the regular season this season. Injuries have also appeared in the Clippers, especially Drobiak from Montenegro The big center has been suffering from severe discomfort in his left knee recently. After examination, he was diagnosed with severe pain caused by meniscus injury and needs to rest. 2-4 weeks or even longer. There is also Bobby Simmons, the main substitute at the small forward position. He strained his groin in the game against the Raptors on January 9 and also needs to rest for at least 2-4 weeks. In addition, Alonzo Mourning himself has serious injury risks, so Dunleavy Sr. has always been cautious in using him and strictly controlled his playing time, which is about 25-28 minutes per game. Even so, just after playing the Raptors, Mourning Sr. still expressed some discomfort in his legs and knees, so Sr. Dunleavy decided to let him take a truce for 2-3 games. Mourning was unable to play, Wang Zhizhi was mentioned in the starting lineup, and because of Drobiak's truce, only Melvin Eli was left as the substitute center. Even if Old Deng Levy hadn¡¯t said anything, Wang Dalin had already felt the seriousness of the situation. Fortunately, the Clippers' schedule in January is not too intensive, otherwise they may not even be able to maintain their current seventh place in the Western Conference. On the evening of January 11, the Clippers faced the Grizzlies at home. The two sides experienced an extremely fierce fight. In the end, Bunchy Wells, who came off the bench for the Grizzlies, hit a fatal shot and narrowly defeated the Clippers 108:107. Wang Dalin just killed the Lakers a week ago. I didn't expect that he would taste the feeling of being killed so quickly. It was really a mixed bag! He made a total of 12 of 19 shots in this game, including 4 of 7 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 35 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block In fact, his performance was already very good, but his opponent was helpless. The performance is obviously better. Pau Gasol scored 32 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, almost creating a rivalry with Wang Dalin. In addition, five players on the Grizzlies team scored in double figures, namely Bunchy Wells with 17 points, Mike Miller with 16 points, James Posey with 14 points, and Jason "White Chocolate". Williams' 12 points and Shane Battier's 11 points. In particular, Posey and Shane Battier, two forward defensive players, performed very well. Their defensive turns made Artest struggle on the offensive end although Artest's defense also made it difficult for them. It felt so good, but in the end, I was still outnumbered. The Clippers lost, but the home fans did not blame them for this. After all, most of the people who came to the "Staples Center" that night were not just to watch the game, but to see Wang Dalin and Jessica. .Alba¡¯s. Alba sitting in the front row seat is really eye-catching, and Wang Dalin always has something to do with her after every wonderful performance.At the press conference, he responded directly to reporters' questions. He said that he and Alba are just ordinary friends and asked the media not to make random guesses Of course, it is absolutely impossible for the media not to make random guesses! These rhetorics were taught to him by Schwartz. Schwartz can be said to be very familiar with the urinary behavior of media reporters. When such scandals arise, in short the more you don't admit it, the more the media wants you to admit it! If you don¡¯t admit it, they will keep hyping up this topic and sending out ¡°heavy troops¡± to dig out more ¡°insider information¡± on you. On January 19, the Clippers played against the Kings again, but they lost again After two consecutive victories, there was a wave of two consecutive losses, which is in line with the "personality" of the Clippers this season! Wang Dalin had another wonderful performance in this game. He made 13 of 19 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers and 11 of 13 free throws. He scored 41 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Since entering this season, people have discovered that Wang Dalin has scored less than 40+ triple-doubles in fewer games than last season. This is not because his strength has declined, but because he has been actively changing his style of play for the sake of the team. Last season, he averaged 20.04 shots per game, but this season he only took 19.21, which is more than 0.8 times less; Last season he averaged 8.26 three-point attempts per game, but so far this season he has only taken 7.25, which is one full time less; It is true that he did score more 40+ triple-doubles last season, but there were as many as 35 games in which he scored less than 30 points in a single game. In 38 games so far this season, he has only failed to score in 12 games. Next 30+. His scoring average has reached 32.97 points per game, which is slightly higher than his scoring average last season. What does this mean? It means that he is playing more efficiently and more stably than before! After two consecutive losses, the Clippers faced another strong opponent on the evening of January 21st - the Warriors, currently fifth in the Western Conference. Will they continue their losing streak? ?¡­(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 251 Is the small ball era coming early? ?? On the evening of January 21, 2004, the lights inside and outside the Staples Center were bright, the arena was bustling with people, and all 19,060 seats were occupied. Some people may ask - "Why 19,060 seats? Didn't you say 18,997 seats before?" This needs to be said a little more "Staples Center" is not only used as a basketball stadium, and its capacity will vary according to different uses. When used for concerts and boxing matches, it can accommodate 20,000 people. When used as an ice hockey stadium, it can accommodate 18,118 people. When used as an indoor American football stadium, it can only accommodate 16,096 people. When used as a basketball stadium, it can accommodate up to about 19,000 people, including 18,997 people when the Lakers are at home, 19,060 people when the Clippers are at home, and only 12,974 people when the WNBA Los Angeles Sparks are at home. The starting lineup sent by the Warriors is center Yao Ming, power forward Clifford Robinson, small forward Antoine Jamison, shooting guard Jason Richardson, and point guard Chauncey Billups. Although the Warriors have been making great progress this season and are ranked fifth in the Western Conference, rumors have spread team boss Antoine Jamison has become increasingly dissatisfied with his tactical position and is plotting a trade recently. I heard Said he wanted to go to the Wizards. In fact, in the original time and space, Jamison was traded during the offseason last summer. He was sent to the Mavericks, and the Warriors got former All-Star point guard Nick Van Exel. In the 2003-2004 season, Jamison also won the "Best Sixth Man" award with the Mavericks. I really don't know why he went to the Mavericks to play as the sixth man. He was originally the boss when he was with the Warriors ¡­Maybe it¡¯s just to get a championship ring? This deal is obviously impossible to happen in this life. After all, the Warriors already have the flourishing "second brother" Billups. Why do they need Van Exel, a 32-year-old has-been All-Star? Therefore, Jamison has not been able to go to the Mavericks as he originally did in time and space, and his current position in the Warriors is in jeopardy Whether it is Billups at his peak or Yao Ming, who is getting stronger and stronger, they are already a serious threat. Reached his boss position. In fact, Jamison is still very strong. He averaged 20+ points per game last season and averaged more than 8 rebounds per game. He is definitely among the top ten forward players in the entire Western Conference. It¡¯s just that Jamison¡¯s performance in the playoffs last season was indeed a bit stretched, and Billups¡¯ ¡°real thigh¡± stole the spotlight. Even rookie Yao Ming performed better than him. So even in Oakland, Jamison's popularity has dropped a lot than before. More and more fans have regarded Billups and Yao Ming as the future hope of the Warriors, and their attitude towards Jamison has become increasingly fierce. Subtle. "General" Arenas is having a great time with the Wizards this season. Under his call, Jamison may really want to quit. Being able to reunite with old friends in the past, and at least being able to sit firmly in the position of "second boss" is better than staying with the Warriors. If he continues like this, let alone continuing to be the boss, he may not even be the third one! You must know that in addition to Billups and Yao Ming, the Warriors also have Jason Richardson Judging from his performance this season, Richardson's average of 18.2 points per game is not much worse than Jamison. . Although staying with the Warriors is definitely more promising to win the championship, Jamison obviously still values ??his future more What is the use of a third or fourth championship? Thinking about Jamison, he was also born in North Carolina. Michael Jordan shined before him, and Vince Carter became famous in the league later. He can't be too far behind these two senior brothers, right? ???????????? Let¡¯s get back to the game In the tnt live broadcast room, the "unfamous cross talk duo" Buckley and Smith officially appeared again. This time Barkley was obviously more noisy than before. After all, he kicked Smith so hard last time that it was said that it still hurt when he defecated for several days afterwards! "Hey, Kenny, what do you think of today's game?" "Does it matter what I think? You must still be optimistic about the Clippers anyway?" "Yes, are you also optimistic about the Clippers? Oh, this is rare. It is rare for the two of us to agree on the same opinion!" "Ah! Who the hell agrees with you? I am optimistic about the Warriors!" "Hahaha I'm just saying, you and I definitely can't be optimistic about the same team! By the way, don't you think the Warriors have internal conflicts now that will affect this game?" "Contradiction? You mean Antoine, right? Haha, soThe shooting percentage is equivalent to a 60% two-point shooting percentage, and 16 three-pointers are equivalent to 24 two-pointers! ??It¡¯s not too outrageous to score 16 three-pointers in 40 shots, but 24 two-pointers in 40 shotsisn¡¯t this nonsense? Even if he is a "peak shark", he cannot guarantee that he will be able to score 24 goals in every 40 shots. But now Wang Dalin dares He will definitely be able to score more than 16 goals in 40 three-point shots. Because his three-point shooting percentage is far more than 40%! As of this game, he had taken a total of 275 three-pointers this season and made 129 of them, with a shooting percentage of 46.9%. This was despite using "Super Pickle Pepper" twice, which resulted in a low shooting percentage in 6 games. Under extremely bleak circumstancesif it hadn't been for those games, his three-point shooting percentage would never have been lower than 48%! 46.9%! It¡¯s higher than the overall shooting percentage of many outside stars! If he hadn¡¯t really performed like this, in this era when three-pointers are generally ignored, who would dare to believe such a thing? Look at Kobe Bryant. His field goal percentage last season was 47.5% and his three-point shooting percentage was close to 40%. The same is true this season. His three-point shooting is far more accurate than his original time and space! Look at people like Tracy McGrady, Paul Pierce, Vince Carter, and Allen Iverson. Their three-point shooting percentages are more or less more accurate than their own in the original time and space. . Stars who are originally very good at outside shooting, such as Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Peja Stojakovic and others, have not improved their three-point shooting percentage compared to their original time and space. , but the number of three-point shots has increased significantly. Wang Dalin didn't notice, or most people in the entire league didn't notice As Wang Dalin destroyed the enemy's defense with three-pointers and led his team to win the championship twice, the entire league The style of play has changed slightly. Although this change is not obvious, so most people have not noticed it, the change is real. Although it is not yet possible to push the league into the small ball era of later generations, if it continues to evolve like this, the small ball era may come early in the not too distant future. In fact, based on Wang Dalin's preferences, he doesn't like the style of play in the small ball era The fierce inside confrontation in the past is gone, the wonderful mid-range fadeaway jumpers are gone, and there are fewer dunks. You can tell one by one. Shoot the three-point shot! ¡°As everyone knows, in the playoffs, what can really kill the game is the unsolvable mid-range fadeaway jumper similar to Jordan and Kobe Isn¡¯t that what Durant and Leonard did later? And the most criticized thing in the small ball era is the decline in defensive intensity, especially interior defense Rudy Gobert, a mere man, can actually win two DPOY awards? As for his defense and frame protection, he is not as good as "Uncle Mu" back then, and his assist defense is even worse than "Hard Special" and "Big Ben". In this way, he can actually sign a five-year maximum salary of US$205 million. contract? That is to say, in the small ball era, if it were left to the early 21st century, he would be just a blue-collar center, and it would be difficult to earn an annual salary of US$8 million! Some people say that¡¯s wrong. Isn¡¯t ¡°Big Ben¡± also a blue-collar center? Didn't he also sign a four-year, $60 million contract with the Bulls? Yes, he did get a big contract, but that was already the summer of 2006and Ben had already been selected to the All-Star team at that time, had a championship ring in his hand, and had won the Defensive Player of the Year four times. Award, he is not a pure blue-collar center! Some people say there isn¡¯t another Eric Dampier? Have you forgotten the mighty "Second Center in the Western Conference"? Yes, that guy did sign a seven-year, $7,300 contract with the Mavericks in the summer of 2004, and his average salary exceeded $10 million. Butother than Mark Cuban, who else would give him such a big contract? The Mavericks were also in a hurry and sought medical treatment at that time. After all, O'Neal had not had time to go to the Eastern Conference at that time. They had to find a more reliable meat shield center to deal with him, right? Moreover, in the 2003-2004 season, Dampier also averaged 12.3 points, 12 rebounds and 1.85 blocks per game. Apart from Yao Ming, is there any more reliable center in the Western Conference than him? ¡­¡­ ??????????? Let¡¯s get back to the game. After the first quarter, the two sides tied at 28:28. It has to be said that the overall strength of the Warriors is indeed superior to the Clippers The Clippers players have performed very well, but they can only draw with the opponent. After a short break, players from both sides returned to the court again. Wang Dalin finally started to show off his power. At the beginning of the second quarter, he broke into the paint twice in a row, succeeded in a dunk once, and caused a defensive foul on Yao Ming. Seeing Yao Ming commit two fouls at the beginning of the second quarter, Kalil frowned even more (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)He broke into the paint twice, succeeded in a dunk once, and caused a defensive foul on Yao Ming once. Seeing Yao Ming commit two fouls at the beginning of the second quarter, Kahlil frowned even more (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com Today is the holiday and I have to take a day off. I hope you can forgive me! Today is the Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day, why don¡¯t you spend the holiday with your wives (girlfriends)? Lao Wang also has to spend the whole day with his wife. Sorry, I can only ask for leave today! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 252 Is this year¡¯s vote winner a bit uncertain? ?? Seeing that Yao Ming had already committed two fouls at the beginning of the second quarter, Musselman suddenly fell into a dilemma. ¡°If Yao Ming continues to stay on the court, it is almost 100% certain that he will receive 3 fouls in the first half, or even 4 fouls is very possible. But if Yao Ming is replaced, the Warriors will lose their biggest advantage. Then the Clippers players will be able to attack the basket unscrupulously, and the defensive end will be in big trouble. Even now, Yao Ming has already committed two fouls, how come the Clippers players can't see it? As long as there is no water in their heads, how can they not attack the Warriors inside? Yao Ming is trapped in foul trouble, and he will definitely be timid on defense. He may have lost at least half of his ability. "What should we do?" Musselman couldn't help but fell into thought. Just when he was thinking hard, he saw that Yao Ming had forced Wang Dalin away. After a one-handed dunk, he roared at Wang Dalin. Wang Dalin had just lost his footing and was squeezed out of position by Yao Ming. He could only watch him complete the dunk. He was already unhappy. But now he saw Yao Ming roaring directly at him, and he couldn't help but get angry. "Dayao, have you grown up? How dare you yell at me?" Wang Dalin said something with a smile but not a smile, his voice was light and airy, but to Yao Ming's ears it sounded like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning. He woke up immediately and quickly said with a smile: "Da Lin Haha, I was so excited just now, you can't Don¡¯t be surprised?¡± Wang Dalin sneered and said, "Okay, I'll get excited later, you wait!" Yao Ming was shocked and said hurriedly: "No Dalin, we are brothers, please don't mess with me!" Wang Dalin laughed and said: "Who said I was going to punish you? I just want to slap a few bucks on your head!" Yao Ming's face darkened and he said, "Isn't it right? Isn't even one deduction enough?" Wang Dalin ignored him and retreated directly outside the baseline to hit the baseline ball. Yao Ming saw that the Clippers substitute point guard Eddie House was advancing so fast that he did not dare to talk to Wang Dalin anymore and hurried back. After House dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he did not rush to launch an attack. Instead, he waited for Wang Dalin to slowly come to the frontcourt, and then used his pick-and-roll to break into the three-second zone. House made a pass from behind, and Wang Dalin hit the ball with his horse. After catching the ball, he jumped up into the air without saying a word. Yao Ming had no time to take off, so he had to avoid his attack temporarily. Wang Dalin completed the attack with a one-handed chop. Although this dunk is not a real dunk, it brings a lot of visual impact to the audience because he jumps too high. If the distance is closer, he can even use his forehead to hit the basket. Frame. It is no exaggeration to saythis dunk is like jumping upright on a spring. It is really eye-catching. The audience at the scene was also very considerate. First they exclaimed in unison, and then they stood up and applauded and screamed. Although Wang Dalin's jumping ability has long reached over 90, he rarely shows off his super jumping ability in games. After all, the goal he has set for himself is to become an all-around superstar, not just a violent dunk player. . ? Is Vince Carter¡¯s dunk awesome enough? Not to mention Kobe, even Jordan can't compare with him in the field of dunks. But the achievements he has achieved in his career are far behind Kobe. To put it bluntly, he can't even catch up with him even if he is trying to flatter him. Could it be that the reason why Jordan became the "God of Basketball" was because he won the All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest for two consecutive years? ?Obviouslythat's not the case! A true all-around superstar cannot be given functional titles such as "dunk general" or "three-point shooter". This is probably why future generations of James have never participated in dunk contests, right? If he really wants to participate, he may not be able to win the championship. How embarrassing would it be if he loses? As long as he doesn't participate, he will still be the omnipotent "King James", and everyone knows that his actual dunks are extremely awesome. Isn't this enough? Of course, Wang Dalin is not like James. Although he did not have so many explosive dunks in the game, he has decided to participate in the dunk contest and win at least three dunk contest championships. The real "all-around superstar" means that I want all the honorsI want the three-point shooting contest champion, and I want the dunk contest champion too! On the next offense, Billups took advantage of Yao Ming's pick-and-roll and hit one.As a result, Wang Dalin broke his own record with 3,212,542 votes and was once again elected as the All-Star vote king this season. People are used to seeing Wang Dalin as the top vote-getter, even if he has set a new record. What is really surprising is that Yao Minghis vote count was as high as 3,154,625 votes, which was only 57,917 votes lower than Wang Dalin! Since the All-Star Game, there have never been two stars who received more than 3 million votes at the same time. This undoubtedly proves that the popularity of the NBA is indeed much stronger than before, and it also proves Chinese fans are so special There are so many! Last season, Yao Ming defeated O'Neal with 1,751,257 votes and was elected as the starting center of the Western Conference All-Stars. This season, Yao Ming is even more impressive, just shy of becoming the vote king. So O'Neal was still unconvinced with Yao Ming last time, but this time he calmed down. "Yao is a very outstanding big man. His steps and skills at the basket are perfect, his shooting touch is quite soft, and his defensive skills are also great. I have no objection at all to him being elected as the starting center in the Western Conference!" The above words are the exact words O'Neal said when asked by reporters. Regardless of whether he is really convinced or not convinced, he really did not find fault with Yao Ming this time. So Yao Ming has averaged 20.1 points, 10 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.3 blocks per game so far this season. His shooting percentage is as high as 56.2%. If you only look at the data, he is not much worse than O'Neal. On the morning of February 2, the league announced the Eastern and Western Player of the Month winners for January. They are Jason Kidd and Yao Ming respectively. If you only look at the data, neither of them is that qualified, but combined with the team's record it is still very controversial! Kidd's side is a little better. After all, there are really few people in the Eastern Conference who can compare with him. The only record of Tracy McGrady's team with explosive statistics is too low. The controversy over Yao Ming being elected as the best player last month is a bit big. Although the Warriors have a very good record and Yao Ming's personal data is also quite impressive, there is always someone who is more eye-catching than his personal performance. Apart from anything else, At the very least, Wang Dalin's personal performance is definitely enough to crush everyone in the league. In January, Wang Dalin averaged 34.8 points, 15.2 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 2.4 steals and 2.5 blocks per game, shooting 59% from the field, 87.6% from the free throw line, and 50.4% from the three-point range. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the Clippers¡¯ record was only 9 wins and 8 losses, he would definitely be awarded the best player of the month. With the games in January coming to an end, the All-Star Weekend is naturally approaching. However, before the All-Star Weekend, the Clippers still have 6 away games to play, namely against the Hawks on February 2, against the Celtics on February 4, against the Wizards on February 6, and against the Knicks on February 8. Sri Lanka, against the Timberwolves on February 10th and the Grizzlies on February 11th. With the exception of the Hawks and Wizards, these teams are all strong teams at the playoff level. The Timberwolves, in particular, played particularly well in January and have quietly risen to first place in the Western Conference, stepping on the Lakers. Therefore, these two games against the Hawks and Wizards are extremely important to the Clippers. These two games must not be missed in old Dunleavy¡¯s plan (Remember this website¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 253 The Busiest All-Star in History ?? On February 2, the Clippers defeated the Hawks 102:90. Wang Dalin scored 38 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks; On February 4, the Clippers defeated the Celtics 107:105. Wang Dalin scored another 36 points, 19 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks, and hit the game-killing three-pointer in the last 2.1 seconds of the game; On February 6, the Clippers defeated the Wizards 107:89. Wang Dalin scored 42 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, dedicating his seventh 40+ large triple-double this season; On February 8, the Clippers bloodbathed the Knicks at 117:59, once again giving the opponent an unforgettable "58 tragedy". Wang Dalin also scored 37 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks; On February 10, the Clippers finally lost. They lost to the Timberwolves, the No. 1 player in the Western Conference, 96:101. Wang Dalin scored 36 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, but he still could only be reduced to a scoreless bunch; On February 11, the Clippers lost back-to-back away games to the Grizzlies, with a score of 98:104. After five consecutive victories, they immediately suffered two consecutive losses However, Wang Dalin still scored 30 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. A triple-double, and also sent 1 steal and 3 blocks. Since entering February, the Clippers have a total of 4 wins and 2 losses in 6 gamesOld Dunleavy is certainly very satisfied with being able to win 4 games in 6 consecutive away games. However, Wang Dalin was a little dissatisfied, especially in the game against the Grizzlies. This was the fifth time this season that he had a triple-double but still lost. From the data point of view, his 30 points are not too few, 13 rebounds are not too many, and 10 assists prove that the performance of his teammates is not too high, but why did he lose? What else could it be because of? The opponent performed better! Although he lost two games, Wang Dalin's personal performance was very stable, shooting 59% from the field and 47.1% from the three-point range If you exclude the two games he lost, his three-point shooting The rate should have been 50%. After the game on February 11th, the Clippers will have to wait until February 18th for their next regular season game. Of course, this long period of time is the annual All-Star Weekend. There are three days in total for the 2004 All-Star Weekend. On the evening of February 13th, there will be the Rookie Competition first. On February 14th, there will be the Shooting Star Game, Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest. On the evening of February 15th, there will be The finale is the All-Star Game. This year¡¯s All-Star lineup has changed a lot compared to last year, and the change is obviously greater than the original history. The head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star Team is Rick Carlisle, who just coached the Pacers this season. The starting lineup is¡ª¡ª Guards: Tracy McGrady (1,112,135 votes), Allen Iverson (1,103,254 votes); Forwards: Jermaine O¡¯Neal (1,012,146 votes), Vince Carter (2,342,545 votes); Center: Ben Wallace (895,745 votes). The substitute lineup includes Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin (Nets), Richard Hamilton and Elton Brand (Pistons), Michael Reed (Bucks), Byron .Davis (Hornets), Paul Pierce (Celtics). The head coach of the Western Conference All-Star Team is Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders, and the starting lineup is¡ª¡ª Guards: Kobe Bryant (1,585,457 votes), Steve Nash (995,468 votes); Forwards: Tim Duncan (1,254,685 votes), Wang Dalin (3,212,542 votes); Center: Yao Ming (3154625 votes). The substitute lineup includes Shaquille O'Neal (Lakers), Steve Francis (Rockets), Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks), Ray Allen (SuperSonics), and Kevin Garnett. (Timberwolves), Chris Webber (Kings), Ron Artest (Clippers). Originally, Artest was going to be selected for the Eastern Conference All-Star lineup this season. It is indeed a small miracle that he was selected for the Eastern Conference All-Star lineup this season in the West, which is obviously more competitive. Uh The main thing is that he got a lot of credit from Wang Dalin. He got a lot of votes in the All-Star voting. He was second only to Wang Dalin, Duncan and Garnett in the forward position, so the coaches of each team voted for him. Selected into the substitute lineup. You know, he has squeezed out Peja Stojakovic, Sam Cassell, Brad Miller and "Ak47" Andrei Kirilenkothe first three are just Can be regarded as the second or third person of his respective team, Kirilenko is the boss of the Jazz this season! There is no way. A small city club like the Jazz has obviously received too little attention, and the Jazz's record is not good, so it is natural that they were not selected. If you only look at personal data, Peja is definitely qualified for selection. This season, he averaged 22.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks per game. He has firmly established himself as the second leader of the Kings. ?He roared the loudest - "We are the best rookie class in the 21st century. We will definitely prove ourselves. If you don't believe it, just wait and see!" People did see it, they lost by a full 24 points They successfully performed what is called "pretending to be slapped in the face"! Wang Dalin appeared in front of him at the right time, first gave him a comforting hug, and then whispered in his ear: "Don't be discouraged, failure is the mother of success, the future is yours!" James was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He immediately expressed his support to Wang Dalin with a chest in his chest and said, "Darling, thank you. I will not slack off. I will be selected for the All-Star lineup next year. Let's compete on the All-Star Game stage." Ichiban, right?" Wang Dalin showed a "fatherly" smile and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you next year!" Uh that is to say, James, who is only 19 years old at this moment, is innocent and innocent. If he had experienced the baptism of "Deng Dadai" in June 2007, how could this child still be so naive? Of course, with Wang Dalin in this life, it is estimated that "Deng Dadai" will not have the opportunity to teach "Young Zhan". Being able to enjoy the admiring eyes of the future "Emperor James", Wang Dalin didn't feel uncomfortable at all. To really count the ages, Wang Dalin was born on March 17, 1982, and James was born on December 30, 1984. He is less than 3 years older than James, but now he is in the fourth grade, and James is only in the first grade This is the entry The advantage of being in the alliance early is that, if nothing else, the seniority is high! ????????????????? But this "young James" is really good. Except for being a little unsuited to the high-intensity confrontation of the NBA at the beginning of the season, he played better and better in the following games. He is currently averaging 21.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. Since Michael Jordan, he is the first rookie to score 20+5+5. This alone can make him proud, and the Cavaliers have sent Ricky Davis away, officially Established his position as the leader. It is extremely rare to become the boss of a team in your rookie season. After entering the 21st century, there are only two players, James and Anthony. On the evening of February 14th, the All-Star Weekend truly reached its climax. Although fans did not pay much attention to this year¡¯s new Shooting Stars Competition, the Skills Challenge, Three-Point Shootout Contest and Slam Dunk Contest were all highlights. The Shooting Stars Game is organized into clubs. Each team is composed of one active player, one WNBA player and one retired player. For example, the Spurs team participating this year is composed of current Spurs shooting guard Manu Ginobili, recently retired wnba San Antonio Silver Stars guard Jennifer Azzi and legendary pitcher Steve Coe who once played for the Spurs. composed of you. The shooting star competition requires participating teams to shoot the ball in several fixed positions, and the team with the shortest time wins. In fact, the most difficult thing about this game is the ball in the center circle. The Spurs, who played first, took a full 46 seconds to complete the game. The second team to appear is the Clippers, whose members are Wang Dalin, WNBA Los Angeles Sparks guard Nikki Teasly and former NBA star Terry Cummings. With super three-point shooting ability and the blessing of "Haozhi Long Shot", Wang Dalin is definitely more suitable for this game than others. Facts have also proved this. They completed the game in only 34.3 seconds Here we go. When the final shot came from the center circle, Wang Dalin actually made it on his first shot. Of course, this ball has a lot of luck involved, but Wang Dalin's super long-range shooting ability and the bonus of "Hao's long-range shooting" do account for a big factor. "Only 34.3 seconds This result obviously put a lot of pressure on the third Detroit team. They finally took 49.8 seconds, temporarily ranking last. The last player to play was the Lakers, whose members are current Lakers point guard Derek Fisher, WNBA Los Angeles Sparks All-Star center Lisa Leslie and former Lakers superstar "Magic" Irvin. Johnson. The three of them are all three-pointers, and they completed the first two tasks quickly. When it came to shooting in the middle circle, the "Magician" reappeared his former style, and made the ball in only three shots. In the end, it only took 43.9 seconds uh, Still much slower than Wang Dalin and others. When it came time to award the award, Wang Dalin politely asked his senior Cummings to take the trophy first, and then based on the principle of ladies first, he passed the trophy to Tillis, and finally took it and raised it high. It¡¯s certainly worth being happy to win the Shooting Stars Competition. After all, everyone can get a bonus of 10,000 US dollars. However, Wang Dalin had no time to celebrate. He still had to participate in the three-point shooting contest and the slam dunk contest. This nighthe is the busiest All-Star in history! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 254 Can¡¯t we win the three-point shooting contest? After the shooting star game, the skills challenge was held immediately. This was the only game that Wang Dalin did not sign up for that night. Participants in the Skills Challenge were the Hornets¡¯ ¡°first generation bearded man¡± Baron Davis, the Suns¡¯ ¡°lone wolf¡± Stephon Marbury, the Denver Nuggets starting point guard Earl Boykins and the host nation. Backup point guard Derek Fisher. The first person to appear in the first round of the knockout round was Baron Davis. His layup and change of direction dribbling were very smooth. He also succeeded in the most difficult ground pass. His three-point shooting was also very smooth. In the end, it only took 10 seconds. 28.7 seconds. The second person to appear was Marbury. His first few moves were very smooth and his ground passes were also very accurate. However, he encountered a little trouble when shooting a three-pointer. He hit the iron decisively in the first time and successfully entered the frame in the second time. , which delayed a little time, and finally took 36.4 seconds. The third person to appear is Boykins. He is only 165cm tall, so his basic skills such as dribbling and passing are very solid. And because of his height, his dribbling speed is a few points faster than others, but he also He fell on the three-pointer and didn't hit it until the third shot, which took 34.9 seconds. The last one to play was Fisher. Fisher's ground pass was tried twice before it was successful. He also made two three-pointers. The final time was 31.6 seconds. After the first round, Boykins and Marbury were eliminated, and Davis and Fisher advanced to the finals to compete for the final championship. In the finals, Fisher was the first to play, and it took him two ground passes to pass, and three three-pointers to make the final goal, which took 37.6 seconds. Fisher's poor performance gave Davis a chance. He came on the court very smoothly. Although the ground pass was delayed a bit, the subsequent actions were very smooth. In the end, he completed the game with a one-handed dunk, which only took 31.6 Second. At the award ceremony, the "bearded first generation" raised the trophy with a smile and received a bonus of US$25,000. Runner-up Fisher will also receive a bonus of US$15,000. As for Boykins and Marbury, who did not enter the finals, each will only receive a bonus of US$5,000. Wang Dalin feels strange It's also an All-Star Weekend game. Why is the total prize money for the winner of the Shooting Star Game only 30,000 US dollars, while the prize money for the Skills Challenge is so high? He and his two temporary teammates scored one point, and each received a whopping $10,000, which was not as high as the runner-up bonus for Fisher! There¡¯s nothing you can do about it. The Skills Challenge is a single-player competition, while the Shooting Stars Competition is a team competition. The prize money is naturally different. Fortunately, the upcoming three-point shooting competition is also a single-player competition, and Wang Dalin has also signed up to participate. Last year he did not sign up for this competition, mainly because he felt that he was not in the mood to focus on the All-Star Weekend. This year is different. The Clippers are in a state of exhaustion. Any honor can bring more attention to the team. As the boss of the team, Wang Dalin is naturally duty-bound. ??And this year, the Clippers are not the only one to sign up for the three-point contest, there is also Kyle Korver. To be honest, Wang Dalin didn¡¯t pay much attention to other people. Even a super pitcher like Peja was just his defeat at the beginning. But Korverhe is no ordinary person! "If we compare the overall strength, the current Korver can't keep up with Peja Even when he was at his peak, he was probably equivalent to Joe Harris in later generations, and still couldn't compare to Peja. Korver¡¯s three-pointers are very accurate, especially the open three-pointers, which are extremely accurate This guy once had a three-point shooting rate as high as 54% in one season, and reached 49% in two seasons. Of course, his shortcomings are also obvious, and that is his defense It cannot be said that he is a defensive black hole on the court, at least it is still a little worse than the league average. The unguarded three-pointers in the Three-Point Contest happen to be what Korver is best at, while Wang Dalin is better at shooting three-pointers in high-intensity games There is no one to defend, so I always feel that something is missing. What! Therefore, although Wang Dalin is very confident in his three-point ability, if he and Korver can compete on the stage of the three-point contest, he also believes that the outcome is unpredictable. Everyone was actively warming up before the game. Wang Dalin paid attention to the players participating this year. In addition to him and Korver, Peja also participated again, as well as Rockets' "Old Cat" Cuttino Mobley, Nuggets guard Voshan Leonard and SuperSonics' Rashad .Lewis. Wang Dalin heard from Yao Ming before that originally "second brother" Billups also wanted to sign up for the competition, but when he heard that Wang Dalin also signed up this year, he decisively gave up the idea. ??1.6 steals, 0.8 blockshow can you say "the peak is at your debut"? Duncan is the real "peak at debut". In his rookie season, he averaged 21.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.5 blocks per game, which is not much different from his peak data. Therefore, even though Duncan only participated in the draft after graduating from college, he was still competed by many teams. Who wouldn't want this kind of "rookie full-level number"? In the original time and space, Korver was not selected by the Nets until the 22nd overall pick in the second round, and was immediately traded to the 76ers. In the final analysis, it was because the uniforms of all NBA teams were not optimistic about his potential. Now that he has come to the Clippers to become Wang Dalin's teammate in this life, his rookie season has naturally gone more smoothly than in the original history. Currently, he averages 6.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game, and his three-point shooting rate is as high as 44.7%. He has become An indispensable and important member of the Clippers' rotation. Korver was not nervous at all after he came on the court. He shot very confidently every time and his shooting percentage was naturally very high. In the first four points, he only missed four shots in total, and he didn't miss a single ball. If the fifth point still performs like this, he can finally score 25 points This score was the record of the three-point shooting contest two years ago! However, Korver¡¯s shots have become smoother and smoother. He made a direct hit at the fifth point and finally scored a high score of 26 points. Wang Dalin and Peja, who had not yet appeared, couldn't help but look at each other, and both of them saw a trace of nervousness in each other's eyes. Smith couldn't help but exclaimed: "Kyle is too good, right? 26 points is the highest score tonight so far. Even Darling and Pejait is very difficult for them to surpass this score!" Barkley also frowned: "Yes! If it were Darling two years ago, he might still be able to create miracles, but judging from his performance in the first round tonight, his touch is obviously not very good!" Bird smiled softly and said: "Am I the only one who is optimistic about Darling King? 26 points is indeed very high, but I don't know why, I just think Darling King can shoot higher If you don't believe it , how about we make a bet?" As soon as they heard about the bet, Buckley and Smith immediately became energetic and asked: "How to bet?" Bird smiled and said: "I bet that King Darling will beat Kyle tonight and win the three-point contest. Let's not bet too much If I guess right, each of you will lose to me." How about $10,000?¡± Smith added: "If Darling King fails to win the championship tonight, you will lose $10,000 to each of us, is that what you mean?" Bird nodded and said, "That's right!" Smith slapped the table and said with a smile: "Okay, I bet!" Buckley hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll bet too!" ¡­¡­ Wang Dalin, who then appeared, was under a lot of pressure. Although he had scored 26 points two years ago and even scored a record 27 points, his family knew about his own affairs This state does not happen all the time! How incredible is the three-point ability of future generations of ¡°elementary school students¡±? When he won the three-point contest for the first time, he only shot 27 points You must know that the total score of the three-point contest at that time was already 34 points! It can be imagined that when 30 points is the perfect score, how difficult is it to exceed 26 points? Wang Dalin has done it before, but that doesn¡¯t mean he can do it again tonight. Shooting is different from dunkingit requires feel! Standing in the left corner, Wang Dalin had already taken off his coat To be honest, his results in the first round were indeed a bit like "you failed to show off and got slapped in the face". Now it's the final round, how dare you continue? Toda? "Beep" When the referee blew his whistle, Wang Dalin quickly grabbed the basketball from the rack and threw it quickly without any hesitation. I saw this crimson basketball drawing a high arc, one end hitting the neck of the basket and jumping far away. Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but feel nervous. "No way? Could it be that I really can't win tonight's three-point shooting contest?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 255 Slam Dunk Contest? I'm just here to play! If you use the characters in popular online games to position NBA stars, Shaquille O'Neal is undoubtedly the most powerful warrior. Wearing heavy armor, he has amazing defensive power, and he also holds a giant ax and is indestructible. He is the perfect combination of a human shield warrior and a weapon warrior. LeBron James is more like a Paladin, capable of carrying, attacking and "booming" Well, assists are really similar to "booming" in a sense. Wang Dalin's "third brother" Hamilton is the best assassin in the world. His ghostly running without the ball, coupled with his sharp catching and shooting, perfectly interpret the definition of the role of assassin. Kobe, McGrady and Iverson are the magicians with the most powerful attack power Their super attack power can often produce a "group damage effect", and sometimes even one person can defeat a team! As for Wang Dalinhow should he be defined? He now has super offensive power, and his assists and rebounding abilities have reached the top of the league, and his internal and external defense is also top-notch, sohow to define this? A melee mage in online games? ??Are you a melee mage who can "milk people"? Sothe three-pointer is not Wang Dalin's only offensive method, it is just a sharper weapon in his arsenal. Standing on the stage of the final round of the three-point shooting competition, when the first ball was missed, Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, and thought to himself: "Is it possible that we won't be able to win the three-point shooting competition tonight?" But the second ball he threw went into the frame smoothly immediately, which also calmed his mind a little. ? ? Immediately after the third, fourth, and fifth goals were hit one after another, Wang Dalin's heart finally entered the state of being unwavering Well, this was the state he was in during the three-point shooting competition two years ago! "Shuashuashuashuashua" "Shuashuashuashuawhen" In the next two points, he made a total of 9 of 10 shots. It was a pity that he missed the flower ball at the top of the three-point arc. This also made him miss a total of 3 points. If he misses another ball, even if it is For ordinary balls, his final score can only be equal to Korver at most. Barkley, Smith and Bird were all watching so intently that they had forgotten to explain, and all the spectators held their breath for fear of disturbing Wang Dalin by making any noise. The DJ screamed desperately, trying to call on the audience to shout out Wang Dalin's score with him, but unfortunately the audience didn't pick up the call at all. Only his voice echoed in the "staples center", which seemed particularly monotonous. Wang Dalin kept up his efforts and hit all 5 shots at the fourth point. Now there are only 5 balls left at the last point. After shooting four points, he accumulated 21 points. If he hits all the last points, he will tie the record for the highest score in the three-point shooting contest that he set two years ago, and he will almost certainly win tonight's three-point shooting contest. champion. I¡¯m afraid no one at the scene would believe that Peja could surpass such a high score, and probably even Peja himself didn¡¯t believe it. But if he misses an ordinary shot, he will be tied with Korver's score. If he misses a flower ball, Korver will probably be the champion tonight! When Wang Dalin reached the last point, he deliberately took a deep breath before grabbing the ball and shooting. "Shuashuashuashuashua" Another 5-pointer! After finishing all the shots, Wang Dalin raised his right hand high, and then clenched it tightly into a fist At this moment, he was like a king returning from victory, accepting the enthusiastic cheers of his subjects. Yes when he scored the last ball, the scene suddenly erupted into cheers like a mountain and a tsunami. Everyone stood up and gave him warm applause and cheers. Peja on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud him. He really admired Wang Dalin How could he not be able to score 27 points in two three-point shooting contests? Convinced? Barkley and Smith didn't applaud, mainly because they were stunned. Bird on the side smiled slightly: "How about it? I just said Darling King can do it, right?" Smith then reacted and said with a smile: "Larry, you really can predict the future!" Bird immediately couldn't help but pretend to be cool and said: "That's I'm not boasting, my intuition has never been wrong! By the way, when are you two going to cash in on your bet?" Smith suddenly woke up and said, "Isn't it? Peja hasn't voted yet!" Barkley also hurriedly said: "Yes, Peja hasn't voted yet, and now it's said that Darling King has"Said: "Well, okay, let me tell you a little bit I did not complete the two moves in the finals alone, I will let Ron be my partner!" Buckley's expression changed, and he exclaimed: "Isn't it right? You want to fly over Ron? He is 6 feet 7 inches!" Wang Dalin laughed and said: "Who said I have to fly over him? I just said that he will be my partner The role of a partner is not only to be flown over, right?" Barkley exclaimed again: "Is he passing the ball to you? Damn it! Are you too ambitious? Ron's passing skills may not be as good as mine!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Okay, stop guessing and you can see it yourself later?" Barkley nodded and said: "Well, I'll just wait and see By the way, I have to remind you that Jason won consecutive championships last year and the year before last. He is not an easy person. Don't underestimate him!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Don't worrylet alone him, even if Vince Carter comes, I can still win the championship!" Buckley was surprised: "Isn't it right? Are you so sure?" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Of course! If you think about it carefully, as long as I signed up for a single competition during the All-Star Weekend, which one has I not won so far?" Buckley nodded and said: "Yesbut" Wang Dalin interrupted him with a smile: "Stop it, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth I'm just here to have fun in this slam dunk contest, and win another championship by the way!" Barkley: "" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 256 Five deductions for full points The final round finally began, and of course the first person to appear was Jason Richardson, who had a lower score. He suddenly took out a Bulls No. 23 jersey and put it on himself, then took the ball and retreated to the bottom line on the other side of the court. The audience immediately became commotion With such a long run-up distance and deliberately wearing Jordan's jersey, it was obvious that he wanted to copy the most classic free throw line take-off dunk of the "God of Basketball"! Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but be a little surprised. He knew that Richardson had never dunked this action in the current slam dunk contest in the original time and space, and he had never dunked this action in his entire career. Since he had even prepared his Jordan jersey tonight, it was obviously early. It was planned to play this tribute to Jordan. Actually, Wang Dalin is quite interested. With Richardson's jumping ability, there will certainly be no problem with dunking from the free throw line, but it's not necessarily to what extent he can reach it. There have been many people in history who have completed this move. Why is Jordan the most classic? Because Jordan¡¯s aerial posture is the best! Especially when he completed this dunk for the first time in 1987, Jordan had a movement of retracting and expanding his abdomen in the air, so he looked particularly elegant and comfortable. On the other hand, others, such as "Dr. J" Julius Erving, "Rain Man" Sean Kemp, Serge Ibaka, "Birdman" Chris Anderson, etc., they can only be regarded as barely following He just took off from the free throw line and dunked the ball into the basket. There was no aerial gesture at all. Even "Birdman" and "Rainman" have already stepped into the free throw line quite a bit when they take off. Strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a "free throw line dunk" at all! Scottie Pippen and Brent Barry are slightly better, and their aerial posture is not bad. Pippen also made movements to tighten and expand his abdomen, but he was completely unable to show the same sense of ease as Jordan; Barry should be regarded as the one with the highest degree of completion of this action besides Jordan. His aerial posture is very elegant, but it still gives people the feeling of "I have tried my best." In addition, there is Vince Carter, a fierce man known as "the first dunker in history". In the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest, he completed a two-handed dunk that took off from the free throw linewell, he also stepped into the free throw while jumping. It's one step beyond the line, and it's not really a "free throw line dunk" at all! I saw Richardson dribbling the ball a few times near the baseline, and then dribbling forward and sprinting quickly. His speed was getting faster and faster, like a gust of wind, which had passed a distance of more than ten meters in an instant. Wang Dalin saw it clearlyRichardson's take-off was very precise. His left foot was just in front of the free throw line, and then he jumped high. As long as his posture in the air does not stretch his hips, Wang Dalin believes that he will get full marks for this dunk. After all, this is a tribute to a classic. Although Jordan did not serve as a judge for the slam dunk contest this year, he was sitting in the audience. The judges must give Jordan some face! Richardson¡¯s posture in the air is very gracefultuck instretchdunkalmost exactly the same as Jordan. After completing the dunk, Richardson first looked up to the sky and roared, and then saluted Jordan with a military salute. Jordan smiled slightly and saluted him back. The whole scene was both funny and touching. The audience at the scene gave him extremely warm applause and cheers at the right time, and the DJ at the scene even more invigorated the atmosphere, leading many audience members to shout - "10 points 10 points 10 points" The five judges showed their signs in unison, and they all scored 10 points As expected by Wang Dalin, he really got a full score of 50 points for this dunk! ¡°In fact, from Wang Dalin¡¯s point of view, this dunk is indeed worthy of a full score. Richardson almost perfectly copied Jordan's dunk. Even his aerial posture was exactly the same as Jordan's. Even if Jordan was ignored, this was undoubtedly an extremely exciting dunk. Barkley said a little worriedly: "Although I have always been very confident in Darling, if he can't score 50 points, I'm afraid he will really lose!" Bird smiled and said: "You are still Darling-Wang's old teammate! You don't even have this little confidence in him? Haven't you noticed that Darling-Wang has completed all the actions tonight? Can¡¯t he get full marks for his next dunk?¡± Barkley was startled, then laughed and said, "That's right I care about it and it leads to chaos!" Wang Dalin handed the towel on his lap to the staff, and then walked into the court. Also walking into the court with him was Artest. The audience saw Artest holding a basketball in his hand, while Wang Dalin was empty-handed.?Complete two "All-Star Game Milestones" and you can draw 2 A-level star skills for free. Although he now has more than a dozen A-level skills, the more of these are always better, and some are better than none, so he got these two skills as soon as he got home that night. "Buddha's Light (Level A): The unique secret skill of Klay Thompson, the future Hall of Fame member of the Golden State Warriors. This skill can be activated freely. The effect of use: forcibly improves the host's status in the game to 140%, and the three-point shooting ability The value is increased to the full value, and the effect of the three-point shooting skill is increased to the upper limit." "Note: The effect of this skill is too powerful, so it can only be used once per season, and can only be used in the regular season. Please use it with caution, host!" When he first saw the introduction of this skill, Wang Dalin thought that this should definitely be an S-level star skill. For no other reason than the effect is too incredible, right? But when I saw the notes at the back, I was dumbfounded. No wonder it is an A-level skill Compared to "Super God Pickled Pepper", the effect of "Buddha's Light" is naturally much more powerful, but the usage restrictions are also much greater, right? Although there is no side effect of "losing it for three games" after use, what the hell is it that you can only use it once a season? Why can¡¯t it only be used in the regular season? Why the hell do I have to be so fierce in the regular season? A record? Huh? Yes! Isn¡¯t this the best ¡°buff¡± in history? With this move, I can just use it whenever I feel good. Maybe I can set a single-game record for points, assists or rebounds Well, even with the blessing of this skill, I want to break it. Those single-game records are equally difficult to achieve! "Wanting to break the record is ultimately something that can happen but cannot be sought, sojust let it happen!" There is another skill that is relatively useless to him, called "Blocking Master", which has the effect of increasing the "Blocking Inspiration" when grabbing rebounds by 5%. Card space inspiration? what is this? Wang Dalin has never been too fond of such mysterious and mysterious things, so he didn't care about it after equipping the skills. At this moment, he did not expect how much benefit this skill would bring to him in the future. This will naturally be explained later (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 257 A fruitful All-Star Weekend On February 15th, early in the morning, major media outlets had already rushed to publish various articles, all of which were writing about the individual competitions last night. Of course, the three-point shooting contest and the slam dunk contest are definitely the ones that get the most coverage, especially the dunk contest. Many media have given this slam dunk contest the reputation of "the most powerful dunk contest in history". There is a small group of people who are still advocating for the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest. They claim that that year was the "most powerful Slam Dunk Contest in history" because Vince Carter was there that year. "But this view didn't cause any trouble at all. The people's eyes were sharp. Carter was indeed very strong in that period, but how could his actions be compared with Wang Dalin last night? Carter¡¯s strongest dunk is also his first dunk - "a 360-degree one-arm windmill with an air turn"! In the preliminaries, Wang Dalin performed the "360-degree windmill with two hands in the air". This single dunk alone firmly defeated Carter. What's more, Wang Dalin also contributed "sitting dunk", "dragon tail swing", "kissing the basket" and "720-degree turn". Among these four actions, except "kissing the basket" is slightly less difficult, the other Three dunks are definitely enough to shock the world! To be honest, with Wang Dalin's current jumping ability, it is still a bit reluctant to complete these actions. Fortunately, he is tall and has long arms, and he can barely succeed with his body advantage. If he is only 196cm like Zach LaVine, even if his wingspan can reach over 210cm, it may not be enough for him to complete such a difficult super dunk. In the final analysis, his 92% bounce can only dominate among big players. Among real forwards and defenders, there are many who have better jumping ability than him. If nothing else, at least the current jumping ability of this "young James" is definitely better than him. Even Jason Richardson, who lost to him in the dunk contest, is slightly better than him. Fortunately, he has already won the dunk contest championship and has no plans to participate in such competitions in the future. A 92% bounce is definitely more than enough in regular competitions. This can be seen from the data. Last season, he averaged only 11 rebounds per game. So far this season, his average rebounds per game has risen to 14.2, which is a significant improvement; Last season, he averaged only 1.9 blocks per game. This number has risen to 2.3 so far this season. Although there is still a certain gap between the season's blocks leader, it is definitely enough to rank among the top ten in the blocks list or even the top five. It's not necessarily that there is no chance. After entering the fourth season of his career, Wang Dalin has taken another solid step towards his goal of becoming an all-around superstar. His current data is even comparable to that of some "ancient era" superstars. For example, "Big O" Oscar Robertson averaged 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists in the peak season of his career. Wang Dalin has averaged 33.9 points, 14.2 rebounds and 9.7 assists so far this season. He has not yet averaged a triple-double. , already on par with him. ¡­¡­ The All-Star game will be held on the evening of February 15th. In the afternoon of that day, the Eastern and Western All-Star teams had their last symbolic training together The superstars are here to enjoy the game, and few of them will really play seriously. . However, Wang Dalin noticed that Kobe had a very strong desire to win, so he deliberately cooperated with him during joint training. Of course, there is no time when Kobe Bryant doesn¡¯t have a strong desire to win? With Wang Dalin going all out to "feed him", his scores skyrocketed during group confrontation training. Coach Saunders was shocked "Damn it! This guy is so scary. If I run into the Lakers in the playoffs this year, will my 'little hard guy' be able to defeat him?" Seeing Kobe in such vigorous form, Wang Dalin couldn't help but show a "fatherly smile" "He is truly one of the strongest scoring machines in history, and he certainly lived up to the many wonderful passes I gave you!" In addition to delivering a large number of shells to Kobe, he also passed a lot of good balls to Yao Ming, O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett and others during group confrontations. Due to Wang Dalin's style of dealing cards from a high position combined with breakthrough points, his passes are often spot-on. Once his teammates receive the ball, they are almost always in the open space If the ball is delayed for a while while dribbling, it will undoubtedly be a waste of resources. So almost no one would be that stupid. "That's right, Wang Dalin's goal in this All-Star Game is to win the assists title and break the All-Star Game's historical assist record in one fell swoop. Up to now (including in the future), the historical assist record in the NBA All-Star Game is 22, which was created by "Magic" Earvin Johnson in the 1984 All-Star Game. According to the provisions of the system¡¯s ¡°All-Star Game Milestones¡±Ben gave an apologetic smile, and the latter grinned and punched him in the shoulder, and then the two hugged lightly. After all, they are sworn brothers, how can they really hold grudges? After this episode, the Western team's offensive momentum became more fierce, and the Eastern team gradually became unable to parry. Seeing that the game was about to enter garbage time early, McGrady suddenly stepped forward and started the "violent mode." Facing McGrady¡¯s unsolvable pull-up jumper, even someone as strong as Kobe can¡¯t do anything about it Whether he can score a pull-up jumper does not depend on the strength of the opponent¡¯s defense, but on how good his own touch is. When McGrady's touch is overwhelming, let alone the 198cm tall Kobe, even Wang Dalin or Garnett will probably be useless. McGrady used a strong attack at the beginning of the fourth quarter to chase the score to only 2 points, which also brought his personal score in this game to 32 points. This time it¡¯s Kobe and Garnett¡¯s turn to be anxious. The two of them now scored 27 points and the other scored 25 points. They happened to be the two highest scorers in the Western Conference. If the Western Conference team can win, they both have a good chance of winning the AMVP AMVP is still very attractive to them, after all, neither of them has ever won this honor. So Wang Dalin immediately sent a wonderful pass to the two of them, like a timely help. This "cake" was fed It was really impartial at all. Everyone else in the east seems to have become invisible, and McGrady is still the only one struggling to support himself. Wang Dalin saw the opportunity and hit two consecutive three-pointers, once again widening the point difference between the two sides to double digits. Immediately afterwards, he sent two wonderful passes to Garnett. Unfortunately, Garnett failed to make a "iron-blooded jump shot". Wang Dalin was so angry that he cursed secretly in his heart¡ª¡ª "Damn it! If I had known I would have passed it on to Kobe!" ¡°You are truly one of the most popular mvp¡¯s in history. If I give you a chance you are really worthless!¡± Uh "Hard Special" is certainly one of the best power forwards in NBA history, but his team leadership performance is indeed very impressive. Especially in the 2004-2005 season, when he was surrounded by powerful players such as "Madman" Sprewell, "et" Cassel and Szczerbiak, he actually failed to even make the playoffs. Who dares to brag about "hard and special" team leadership results! If he hadn't gone to the Celtics to team up with "Truth" and "Gentleman Thunder" at the end of his peak, the "Wolf King" might have ended his career without a championship. So don¡¯t be fooled by the impression that the ¡°top five forwards in history¡± may also be one of the ¡°most popular MVPs¡±! Wang Dalin learned from the pain and immediately turned to Kobe as the target of "getting assists". Compared with Garnett, although Kobe is less comprehensive, his offensive power is definitely much higher. Moreover, Kobe also has the greatest desire to attack in history (this can be seen from his shot count). Coupled with the good touch that has been "raised" by Wang Dalin tonight, Kobe immediately felt like a god coming down to earth. The momentum of McGrady on the opposite side was suppressed. With 3 minutes left in the game, Wang Dalin finally sent out his 23rd assist of the game and successfully completed his goal. The highlight of "Magic's" assists in the 1984 All-Star Game was immediately played on the big screen, and the on-site DJ also announced the news to everyone in real time Darling King broke the 20-year-old All-Star Game Single game assist record! In the following games, Wang Dalin did not "feed" Kobe anymore, but attacked twice by himself. I don't know if it was because he was too relaxed, but he failed to score in these two attacks. In the end, the Western team defeated the Eastern team 139:128. Kobe scored 34 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, and got his first AMVP trophy in his career. At the award ceremony, Kobe emphatically thanked Wang Dalin. He said this: "Darling, your passing is so great, because every time I get the ball I have to attack immediately If I don't score the ball, I always feel guilty! Oh my God, this is It¡¯s so crazy, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve ever felt like this in a competition!¡± Wang Dalin made a total of 6 of 8 shots in this game and scored 14 points, 8 rebounds, 23 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. In fact, Kobe¡¯s amvp is really close to winning If the voting reporters can pay more attention to the assist data, it is very possible. Tonight's amvp should be awarded to him. But he is already very satisfied with this result. After all, amvp is only worth two A-level star skills, but breaking the assist record is an S-level star skill. Which one is higher and which one is lower is naturally clear at a glance. In total, his gains during this year's All-Star Weekend were quite substantial. Not only did he win three championships in a single event, he also broke the single-game assist record in the All-Star Game. After returning home that night, he couldn¡¯t wait to pick up this S-level star skill. When he carefully read the detailed introduction of this skill, he was immediately pleasantly surprised. "The system really gives you face, you get whatever you want!" Wang Dalin thought to himself, "With this move, it will definitely be safe to reach the second round of the playoffs this year, not even the Western Conference Finals or the Finals. Are you wishful thinking?" The more he thought about it, the more proud he became, and he actually laughed out loud alone on the sofa in the living room (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Three championships, and also broke the single-game assist record in the All-Star Game. After returning home that night, he couldn¡¯t wait to pick up this S-level star skill. When he carefully read the detailed introduction of this skill, he was immediately pleasantly surprised. "The system really gives you face, you get whatever you want!" Wang Dalin thought to himself, "With this move, it will definitely be safe to reach the second round of the playoffs this year, not even the Western Conference Finals or the Finals. Are you wishful thinking?" The more he thought about it, the more proud he became, and he actually laughed out loud alone on the sofa in the living room (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 258 A series of injuries "Death Coil (S-level): The unique skill of Los Angeles Clippers legend Kawhi Leonard. This skill can be activated freely." "Usage effect: The chance of blocking the opponent's breakthrough is increased by 30%-50%, and the chance of forcing the opponent to drop the ball and make a mistake is increased by 15%-30%. After a successful steal, the morale of all teammates can be increased by 8%-15% within 90 seconds." ¡°The minimum requirements for assembling this skill are: 90 outside defense, 90 steals, 80 lateral agility, 80 speed, 80 strength, and 90 physical strength.¡± "Note: 1. This skill can only be used 5 times per game; 2. The effect will be better if the wingspan is 15cm or more greater than the height!" This is the S-level star skill that Wang Dalin drew this time. It comes from the stunt of "Little Ka" in later generationsWang Dalin still remembers that he used this trick to make "Emperor James" miserable in his peak period many times. . There are many people who don¡¯t like Leonard and think he is too scheming. For example, in the summer of 2019, he swayed James and the Lakers, successfully delaying the opponent¡¯s offseason reinforcements. If you look at it from his perspectivesince he has decided to join the Clippers, it is very reasonable for him to cause trouble for his rivals in the same city. He never tires of deceit! No matter what, Leonard is still very strong, especially his defense. He is definitely the number one player at the forward position. This "death coil" is the defensive stunt for which he is famous. In fact, Michael Jordan often used this move in games, but people didn't give it a name at that time, so it was the "Scheming Card" that really popularized this move. Someone says it¡¯s wrong? Jordan is 198cm tall and has a wingspan of 212cm. It doesn¡¯t seem to comply with the setting that ¡°those with a wingspan greater than 15cm tall will have better results¡±, right? In fact, Jordan¡¯s barefoot height is only 195cm-196cm, and 198cm is his height after wearing shoes, so his wingspan must be more than 15cm greater than his height. For Wang Dalin, who is 211cm tall and has a wingspan of 231cm, this move is perfect for himcompared to wingspan, how many people in the entire league can be stronger than him? "Some people have long thought that Wang Dalin's figure seems to be deformed His wingspan is longer than Durant's. Is his body shape uglier than Durant's? In fact, his figure is not ugly, but rather well-proportioned. First, his height is 211cm, which is the height with bare feet. After wearing shoes, it is about 213cm-214cm; Second, his weight has increased slightly every year. So far this season, he has gained 113kg. Simply put, he is getting stronger and stronger; Third, wingspan is not only the length of the arms, but also the body part, that is, the shoulder widthWang Dalin's shoulder width is quite good, much wider than Durant's shoulders; Fourth, arm span also includes the length of the palm. Wang Dalin is also better than Durant in this regard, so his arm length is not as abnormal as Durant; Fifth, Wang Dalin¡¯s arms are much thicker than Durant¡¯s numb arms, so they definitely look much more coordinated. To put it simply, his body shape is not like Durant at all, but a bit like the "Antetokounmpo" of later generations. Of course, "Antetokounmpo"'s reputation is not good at all, but just speaking of body shapeit's still pretty good! After a day off on February 16th, all Clippers members flew to Portland in advance on February 17th, where they will challenge the Trail Blazers away from home on the evening of February 18th. After playing this game, they had to return to their home court to face the Celtics on the evening of February 19thanother back-to-back set! Because of the All-Star Weekend in February, each team will have fewer games. For example, the Clippers only have 12 games this month, but they still have two groups to play back-to-back, so it may not be much easier. Especially since Wang Dalin and Artest did not get a rest during the All-Star Weekend, it is really a question whether they can maintain their condition when they return to the regular season. On the evening of February 18, Artest really stretched his hips. He made only 6 of 18 shots in the game, including all 4 three-pointers. Including free throws, he only scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. Wang Dalin made 11 of 19 shots from the field, including 4 of 9 three-pointers and 9 of 9 free throws. He scored 35 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. He still could not lead his team to defeat the Trail Blazers. . Losing two games in the regular season is actually not a big deal, but Quentin Richardson's sudden injury and departure in the fourth quarter of this game was the biggest headache for Dunleavy. He sprained his ankle when he landed while rushing for a rebound. It looked serious because his ankle was swollen on the spot, but he didn't know if he had injured any bones. On the morning of February 19, the hospital¡¯s inspection report came out¡ªQuentin suffered a grade two sprain of his left ankle and needed toThey went ahead with the score, but ended up losing 109:115. The hospital¡¯s diagnosis report came out the next day, and the Clippers soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief. Artest¡¯s ankle was only a first-degree sprain. If the recovery is optimistic, he will be able to return in as soon as a week. Players were injured one after another, and Wang Dalin also paid more attention to this matter. For this reason, he specifically talked to the old Dunleavy in private. In this extremely difficult time, he advised Dunleavy Sr. not to take victory or defeat too seriously, and should try to arrange as many people into the rotation as possible to minimize the playing time of the main players. If we continue to "beat the main team hard" and injure one or two more people, let alone how far we will go in the playoffs, whether we can even make it to the playoffs will be a question. Fortunately, Bobby Simmons is recovering well and is expected to be back in the next two days. His return will greatly alleviate the team's shortage of players at the second and third positions. Drobiak¡¯s knee injury is a bit dismal. He has been recovering for more than a month and is still unable to conduct high-intensity confrontation training. When O'Neal was still at the end of his prime, every NBA team, especially the Western Conference teams, would deliberately prepare one or two meat shield centers. For example, Eric Dampier of the Mavericks is this type of player. Drobiak is also a typical meat shield center. He is 211cm tall and weighs 122kg. As a meat shield center, of course his body shape is very good, but the bad thing is his size. Of course, a weight of 122kg will put a lot of pressure on the knee, which will also seriously affect his injury recovery. If his weight was not that heavy, for example, only about 110kg, he might have recovered by now. Old Dunleavy is quite enlightened. He accepted Wang Dalin's suggestion and decided to appropriately increase the playing time of substitute players. In the next two games, the Clippers defeated the Hornets and Knicks respectively. In these two games, Wang Dalin scored 40 points, 20 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks respectively, and 42 points, 22 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks respectively When the team's second leader was unable to play due to injury, he finally showed Use all your strength! Of course, there are many people who have scored 40+20 points in a single game in NBA history, even after 1985. For example, Chris Webber scored against the Pacers on January 5, 2001. 51 points, 26 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. There are also "Big Dream" Olajuwon, "Gorilla" Ewing, "Holy Moses" Moses Malone, "Forcing King" Larry Bird, "Big Mouth" Charles Barkley and others have all cut down 40+20 data in a single game. "Shark" O'Neal even scored 60+20 in a single game Well, it was that tragedy about the tickets! ?? 40+20 in a single game is indeed awesome, but it is not unprecedented. At least with Wang Dalin's current strength, such statistics are not surprising. But looking at the entire NBA history, except for the perverts like Chamberlain and Russell in the "ancient times", no one in the league can score 40+20 in two consecutive games. Wang Dalin has created another miracle this time. At least since entering the modern basketball era, he is the first person to achieve this feat! On February 28, Wang Dalin was successfully elected as the Western Conference Player of the Week. The Clippers' record of 2 wins and 1 loss this week is not impressive. Wang Dalin's average of 41.7 points, 18 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks per game is even more impressive. In comparison, Ben, the best player in the Eastern Conference this week, has far worse numbers. He averaged only 11.8 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game, but he averaged 4.8 blocks per game, which is really awesome. On February 29, the Clippers faced the challenge of the Pistons at home. This is Wang Dalin¡¯s first game with his old club after leaving Detroit, and his mood is naturally mixed and complicated. When he left last summer, he had an unhappy relationship with the Pistons. Almost everyone knew about this, so this game immediately became the focus of attention in the entire North American sports world. In order to better explain this game, TNT TV station also temporarily invited the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan and "The King of Forces" Larry Bird, coupled with the "unfamous cross talk team" of Barkley and Smith, to explain The lineup is even stronger than this year's All-Star Game. But Wang Dalin is a little worried With the Clippers' current remnant formation, the second and third leaders are unable to play. How easy is it for him alone to defeat this Eastern Conference powerhouse that has won two consecutive championships? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 259 How can a pile of change compare to a piece of change? During the warm-up before the game, not only did Wang Dalin and his former teammates hug each other, but the head coaches of both sides, Old Dunleavy and Larry Brown, also held hands and talked happily. The atmosphere between the two sides was quite harmonious. ¡°Well¡­at least that¡¯s what it looks like on the surface! Wang Dalin really has a good relationship with Ben and Hamilton, they are sworn brothers after all; he also has a good relationship with Butler, Boozer, McGinnis, Okur and others, and they are definitely closer than ordinary teammates. But the new members of the Pistons, such as Elton Brand Wang Dalin and he could only be regarded as acquaintances before, and they were far from friends, so in this round of "pre-game activities for old friends to reminisce" Didn't have any interaction with him. Brand is also happy and relaxed. He has never liked this kind of "social" greetings. In his opinion, as a professional player, it is enough to see the real deal on the court. Pre-match greetings are purely unnecessary. His statistics this season are similar to last season, currently averaging 20.7 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 51.2% and a free throw percentage of 79.8%. With powerful rebounders like Ben by his side, he averaged 9.1 rebounds per game. He was worthy of being one of the top ten power forwards in the Western Conference Well, he should be the No. 1 power forward in the Eastern Conference now. , if you count O'Neal Jr. as a center! In fact, he is still a little dissatisfied, because in the past the Clippers played at a fast pace, so his average data will be better accordingly. Now with the Pistons, Larry Brown's team is famous for its slow pace. It is not easy for him to average 20+10 per game. His ability to average such data this season is the result of Larry Brown's "ruthless abuse of the main force". His average playing time per game is more than 39 minutes! In the tnt live broadcast room. Barkley grinned widely and said: "Hey, all the viewers in front of the TV, welcome to the TNT Sports Channel. You are here tonight. First of all, I have to introduce our special guest Larry to you. .Bird¡­¡± Bird smiled and said: "Thank you Charles for your warm introduction, but I believe that there are all viewers in front of the TV who don't know me. You should focus on introducing the person next to you!" Jordan, who was next to Barkley, laughed and said, "Larry, do you think the audience doesn't recognize me?" Smith hurriedly said: "It's impossible. They don't know me and it's impossible that they don't know the 'great Michael Jordan'. Are you right, Charles?" Buckley laughed jokingly: "Who knows? Anyway, I don't know this guy!" Jordan smiled and said: "Charles, it seems like you have a grudge again, right?" Buckley squinted his eyes and smiled: "Hold a grudge? Do I have a grudge against you?" Jordan smiled and said: "Well, let me think about it, it should be 1993 That time I led the Bulls to defeat you in the finals. The big score was 4:2. Am I right?" Bird added: "Yes, the regular season MVP that year was Charles, so he was particularly unconvinced!" Smith also added: "He kept saying that he was the best basketball player on the planet Hey, Charles, what did you say when the reporter interviewed you later? How about you tell us again? ?¡± Barkley's dark old face turned red, and he said angrily: "I said - 'I am the best basketball player on earth As for Michael, he is not from earth at all!' Yes, that's what I said at the time , how about it?" Bird smiled and said: "In terms of strength, you are only so-so. You won the only championship by hugging Darling King's lap But when it comes to shamelessness, no one here can compare with you! " Smith nodded and smiled: "That's right! That's it!" Barkley turned to look at Jordan, who smiled and said, "What do you think I'm doing? I'm not from Earth!" As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience burst into laughter, and even Barkley himself couldn't help laughing. After laughing, Smith still had the best professionalism and said at the right time: "Everyone, who do you think can win this game tonight?" Jordan thought for a moment: "It should be the Clippers!" Bird and Barkley were both surprised. Barkley asked: "Isn't it? The Clippers even injured Ron, and Quentin, Alonzo, Bobby, and Pedrague were unable to Although I have always had confidence in Darling when going into battle, can it be done by relying on him alone?" Bird also said: "Yes, the strength of both sides is not at the same level at all!" Smith smiled and said: "Michael, this time ICome on, he should be the one who wants to win this game the most, even if his form is sluggish in the next three games, he won't care. After hesitating for a moment, he activated "Buddha's Light" again Since it can only be used once per season and can only be used in the regular season, why not use it tonight? When this skill was activated, Wang Dalin felt that his whole body was full of power At this moment, he felt that he could definitely easily score 60 points in tonight's game, and even 70 or 80 points might not be impossible. . It is indeed a "Buddha's Light", a super powerful "buff" that can only be enjoyed once a season. This effect is really powerful! In the game, the effect was indeed impressive. Wang Dalin made 5 of 6 shots in the first quarter alone, including 2 of 2 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Up to 100% and 100% and 100% in 2020, this is the worst performance in the game! In the second quarter, Wang Dalin was like a chicken. He made 7 of 10 shots in a single quarter, including 3 of 6 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 21 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. He scored 35 points, 7 rebounds, 1 of 4 steals and 1 block at halftime. No matter who it is, it can be called an extraordinary performance, right? Even on the night when Kobe scored 81 points in a single game, he "only scored" 26 points in the first half. As for Chamberlain that night when he scored 100 points in a single game it was too long ago. The only impression of that game at this stage and even in future generations is that he was holding a piece of white paper with the word "100" written on it. As the saying goes, "If there is a picture, there is the truth." He doesn't have any game video only a photo after the game is useless? That guy Chamberlain didn't look very good, and he was holding a piece of white paper with the word "100" written on it and giggling, just like Ronaldo who was holding the "Golden Throat". This thing Are you sure you are not Was it from the Liaoning Provincial Folk Art Troupe? Wang Dalin performed even more fiercely in the third quarter, especially when Elton Brand faced off against him, he almost exploded every time. Originally when playing against Ben or Boozer, Wang Dalin would still worry about a little bit of brotherhood. Even if he played singles with the ball, he would not crush his opponent to death. But Brand who the hell are you? Do I know you? What¡¯s more, Brand is a typical NBA short power forward. With his strength and short and stocky attributes, even if he defends Garnett, he won¡¯t necessarily suffer. In fact, Garnett suffered a big loss under the Rockets' super short center Chuck Hayes. He was indeed much taller than Hayes, but his physical strength was much lower. As a result, in that game During the game, his stability in the lower plate was affected many times by Hayes, and his shooting percentage was horribly low. But how can Wang Dalin's strength be comparable to that of "hard special"? To put it bluntly, now the entire league wants to compete with Wang Dalin, except for O'Neal, he is really less than a palm! When Wang Dalin played the 2K game in his previous life, every time he played a center role, he would choose the fastest one, because in that era, power was no longer important, and speed was king! Some people say that¡¯s not true. Isn¡¯t Antetokounmpo a powerful player? Yes, Antetokounmpo is indeed powerful, but how fast is he? As a player with a height of 211cm, Antetokounmpo is almost as fast as most forwards and defenders. Even someone as strong as Kevin Durant is not necessarily faster than him. So don¡¯t think that Giannis Antetokounmpo has made his way in this world just by relying on his strength. He mainly relies on his shamelessness to get a footholdwell, it¡¯s speed! (When writing this sentence, Lao Wang himself felt so strangehe was obviously just relying on his feet!) Let¡¯s get back to the game! Wang Dalin's performance in the first half was already extraordinary, but looking at the score, the Clippers were still a little behind The absence of several main rotation players had a great impact, especially Artest was also absent, which means Wang Dalin was exhausted on both offense and defense. Therefore, at the beginning of the second half, Wang Dalin roared to the sky twice in a row, and directly used the two ultimate moves "Wolf King's Roar" and "Roaring God" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel .com Chapter 260 The incredible data that shocked the world In the third quarter, Wang Dalin continuously attacked the inside of the Pistons, directly beating Brand to the point where he fouled 5 times and went to rest. Not only Brand, Ben has also accumulated 4 fouls in this quarter. Only Boozer's situation is slightly better among the Pistons' insiders, but he also has a lot of fouls, already 3 times. In the third quarter alone, Wang Dalin made 16 free throws and hit 14 of them. In addition, he made 8 of 12 shots in sports games, including 4 of 6 three-pointers. He scored a total of 34 points, 7 rebounds and 2 rebounds. Assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Adding in the 35 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the first half, Wang Dalin scored 69 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks in three quarters. His performance was incredible. And not only his data output is amazing, but his efficiency is also extremely abnormal. He actually scored 69 points in only 28 shots, with a shooting percentage of 71.4% and a three-point shooting percentage of 64.3%! In three quarters, he had already broken his regular season scoring record in a single game, which also made several people in the TNT live broadcast room excited and unable to stop. "Michael, I saw with my own eyes that Darling tied your regular season single-game scoring record in just three quarters. I wonder how you feel now?" Barkley really wanted to stimulate Jordan when he got the chance. It seems that he was indeed I have been stimulated by Jordan too many times, and I always try every possible means to see the other person defeated. "What's the point? Aren't records meant to be broken? Besides, what does my 69 points mean? David Robinson even scored 71 points in a single game!" Jordan didn't take it seriously. His historical position has long been extremely stable, so how can he lose his mentality just because of Barkley's words? Bird also smiled and said: "It seems that Darling King will get a very high score tonight, but I don't know how many points he can get Is it 75 points or 80 points?" Smith nodded and said: "Based on the current situation, it should be okay for him to score 80 points in a single game, but if he wants to break Wilt's record of 100 points in a single game I'm afraid it's still a little short!" Smith¡¯s analysis makes sense. During the break, Wang Dalin sat on the sidelines and made an estimate. It seems that he can complete the two milestones of 70+ and 80+ in a single game tonight! After completing these two milestones, according to regulations, he can get the "King of the Forbidden Zone Badge" and the "Copper Skin and Iron Bone Badge" But he already has the "Copper Skin and Iron Bone Badge", and he doesn't know that the system will change it for him. What kind of reward? I believe that due to the fairness of the system, it is impossible to replace it with something too bad. At the very least, it must be equivalent to the value of the "Copper Skin and Iron Bone Badge". Wang Dalin didn¡¯t think too much The game is not over yet, he has to continue to fight. Although his performance in the first three quarters was extremely unparalleled, the Pistons' offensive and defensive efficiency tonight was also very high. They are currently only 5 points behind them. The outcome of the game is still difficult to predict! He played too hard in the first three quarters and only rested for 2 minutes in total. It stands to reason that his physical strength should have been exhausted. However, he turned on "Super God Pickled Pepper" and "Buddha's Light" tonight. In addition to his greatly improved condition, his physical fitness is also more abundant than usual, so it should not be a problem to last through the fourth quarter. Old Dunleavy is also actively adjusting the lineup, putting Wang Zhizhi, House, Korver and Barnes on the court. Their defense is not very good, but their three-point shooting is good. ¡°Uh¡­Barnes is still a little bit worse. His three-point shooting this season is not very stable. The fourth quarter of the game started quickly. Hamilton suddenly showed off his power on the Pistons and hit two consecutive mid-range shots. However, Wang Dalin quickly counterattacked with a three-pointer and sent a wonderful pass to Wang Zhizhi, assisting him to score two points. The Clippers players all performed very well on the offensive end, but they still couldn't stop the Pistons' counterattack, especially Hamilton and the re-appearance of Brand. They played well inside and outside, always dividing the points. Bad bite. However, at the critical moment, Wang Dalin hit another three-pointer and continuously attacked the Pistons' inside line, finally knocking Brand out of the game with six fouls. Ben also picked up 5 fouls very quickly. He did not dare to let go of his hands and feet on the defensive end. This also made the Clippers players' breakthroughs even more unscrupulous. The game finally came to the final stage. The Pistons still played very tenaciously, but they were still unable to catch up with the score. This situation continued until the last minute. In the end, the Clippers defeated the Pistons 123:116 and achieved a rare three-game winning streak. Three consecutive wins is nothing, nor is defeating the defending champion Pistons a great achievement The most talked about thing about this game is Wang Dalin's 81 points, 20 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks in a single game. data.  Do you think you are the strongest scorer in the league today? " "Darling King, after such a glorious battle, do you feel that you are already the number one player in the league today?" "Darling King, who do you think is greater, your 81 points in a single game or Wilt's 100 points in a single game?" "Darling-King" Questions like this came to Wang Dalin like a tide. Fortunately, his answers were neither humble nor overbearing, and very appropriate. For example, to the question "Who do you think is greater, his 81 points in a single game or Wilt's 100 points in a single game?" Wang Dalin's answer was - "Wilt and I are not in the same period, so we can't. A simple direct comparisonbut I think my score of 81 is not worse than his score of 100!" There is also the question "Do you think you are the number one person in the league today?" Wang Dalin just smiled and said: "I shouldn't say whether I am the number one person in the league, right? Do you think I am?" ¡­¡­ The next day, the news that Wang Dalin scored 81+20+8+3+4 in a single game made the front page of almost all media This is not limited to North American media, but all media around the world! The Chinese fans across the ocean are completely excited. Most of them are praising Wang Dalin's amazing achievements in various forms, as if he has achieved such a brilliant "great achievement". Wang Dalin was indeed very humble when answering reporters¡¯ questions after the game, but why do Chinese fans care about this? In one sentence - "Wang Dalin is awesome, who dares to disapprove?" Not convinced? If you don¡¯t accept it, why don¡¯t you score 81 points in a single game? Soon Wang Dalin received a call from Zhang Weiping. CCTV Sports Channel will send a team to Los Angeles. They will conduct a detailed interview with Wang Dalin. He has already accepted an exclusive interview with CCTV Sports Channel before. This interview will be more detailed. The detailed list of questions faxed by Zhang Weiping alone has more than 150 questions. Wang Dalin has indeed enjoyed great success in the past two days, but he soon tasted the bitter consequences of the side effects of "super pickled peppers". On the evening of March 2, the Clippers lost to the Kings 106:109. Wang Dalin's condition is indeed sluggish in this game, but he has no choice but to increase the number of forced shots Artest's injury has not healed yet, and even if others are in good condition, their strength is still limited after all. He made only 14 of 31 shots, including 5 of 14 three-pointers and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 41 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Without Artest, the Clippers' offensive efficiency is not too bad, but their defense is much worse. Since Artest joined the Clippers on December 7 last year, the Clippers have averaged 98.7 points per game. Before that, the number was as high as 102.1 points It can be imagined that Artest has given the Clippers an average of 98.7 points per game. How much of a boost does the defense bring? No one is happy after losing, but Wang Dalin won the Western Conference Player of the Month Award in February, which finally made him feel a little better. Throughout February, Wang Dalin averaged 41.7 points, 15.7 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 2.5 steals and 2.8 blocks per game, which is enough to crush any player in the league. And in February, the Clippers had a record of 9 wins and 4 losses, which is not necessarily worse than other teams. Therefore, Wang Dalin definitely deserves to win the best of the month. There is no controversy at all this time. The best in the Eastern Conference was won by Kenyon Martin. He averaged 21.9 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game in February, finally overwhelming O'Neal Jr. and Brand at his feet. On March 3, the Clippers faced the Pacers back-to-back, but they lost again. Wang Dalin continued to be in a sluggish state, making only 13 of 30 shots from the field, including 5 of 14 three-pointers and 9 of 10 free throws. He scored 40 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Fortunately, he scored 40+ again, which also increased his consecutive 40+ games to 8. With one more game, he can tie Jordan's record of 9 consecutive 40+ games (Remember this. Website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 261: Why don¡¯t we just play ball? Why do we have to fight? After losing to the Pacers, the Clippers' record this season is 34 wins and 26 losses, falling to seventh place in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies have been gaining momentum recently. They have been competing with the Clippers for the sixth spot in the Western Conference. After all, the Lakers are currently second in the Western Conference. Who the hell wants to meet such a powerful opponent in the first round of the playoffs? There is one thing to say. At the beginning of this season, the Lakers made great progress and were almost invincible. However, in the middle of the season, they deliberately strengthened the rotation of the lineup, so as to deliberately let "f4" get more rest, especially O'Neal and Malone. ¡°One of the two is overweight and has been suffering from a toe injury, and the other is too old and cannot give his best in every game. This season, the average playing time of Kobe and Payton has also been reduced a lot compared to before, especially Kobe. His average playing time last season reached 41.5 minutes, and this season has dropped to 35.6 minutes. Payton can get more rest time mainly because the Lakers also have Derek Fisher on the bench, who was the Lakers' starting point guard last season! On March 4, the Clippers finally received good news - Artest's ankle injury has healed and he can return at any time. And the previously injured Bobby Simmons has also recovered, and Dunleavy Sr. is preparing to let him return in the home game against the Grizzlies on March 6. For the Clippers, their strong return is tantamount to double happiness. Wang Dalin can finally breathe a sigh of relief It is too hard for him to fight alone during this period, and he will still be in a "super bubble" in the next game. Among the side effects of "pepper", with Artest here, he doesn't need to force so many shots! On March 5, Wang Dalin took the time to accept an exclusive interview with the CCTV team. This time, the CCTV team was still led by Zhang Weiping. Wang Dalin saw "Guide Zhang" again after many days, and saw that he had gained a little weight, probably because he had not exercised enough during this period. This interview took the form of questions and Wang Dalin¡¯s self-narration, so the interview location cannot be just indoors. A lot of the content needs to be filmed at the Staples Center and various places in Los Angeles. The indoor question-and-answer session was arranged at Wang Dalin¡¯s home. Anyway, the living room in his villa is big enough, so he would feel more relaxed in his own home. The mansion halfway up the hillside of Beverly Hills is still under construction. According to Bruce Talley, the current construction progress is pretty normal and it will probably be completed in early June. Of course, all construction work has been completed in early June, and you have to wait at least another 6-10 months to move in How can a new house not be renovated? In other words, Wang Dalin will not be able to move into his new house until at least the end of November this year. If he is not lucky enough, it is not unusual to wait until February or March next year. The location shooting went smoothly. Wang Dalin not only took "Guide Zhang" and the others to visit the team's daily training, but also took them around Los Angeles. As for the indoor question-and-answer session, "Director Zhang" and Wang Dalin have known each other for years, and they were just chatting all over the world! After completing the interview, Wang Dalin also took them to the "SLS Hotel". The two-Michelin-starred restaurant "Somni" here is definitely one of the most popular restaurants in Los Angeles. This restaurant only has 10 seats. You can imagine how difficult it is to reserve a seat. Even Wang Dalin, a local star in Los Angeles, has to make a reservation several days in advance, and it is not always possible to make a reservation. Returning is purely a matter of luck. On the evening of March 5, Wang Dalin received a call from Schwartz. This phone call was mainly about the renewal of several commercial endorsements. His original endorsement contracts with the three brands "Tissot", "Versace" and "Ford" were all for three years. They will expire in June this year. All expressed their intention to renew their contracts to him. Of course, the amount of the contract he signed could not be very high. Now that his popularity and strength have skyrocketed to the level of the league's top superstars, the amount of endorsements has naturally increased. This time, Tissot¡¯s offer to Wang Dalin is US$35 million over five years, Versace¡¯s offer is US$50 million over seven years, and Ford¡¯s offer is US$50 million over five years. Merchants have expressed extraordinary sincerity, and Wang Dalin is naturally very satisfied with these renewal prices, especially for Ford. The five-year contract amount of US$50 million has definitely reached the ceiling in the industry. In fact, the reason why "Ford" offered him such a high price was mainly because there were several competitors this time. For example, Toyota offered Wang Dalin an offer of US$36 million over four years, and Mercedes-Benz also offered Wang Dalin an offer of US$3,200 over four years. &nbs?DaLin. Maybe it was because of the conflict just now that "White Chocolate" was a little frightened, but he failed to make the free throw. In comparison, Wang Dalin¡¯s free throws were still very stable. Although the technical foul penalty was missed, the next two free throws were made steadily. After making the free throw, Old Dunleavy quickly called a timeout If something like this happened, the players must be allowed to calm down. Wang Dalin sat on the chair and couldn't help but secretly complained¡ª¡ª "I'm so unlucky! Seeing Artest come back, it's so ruined that he didn't even finish a game! Ohwhy are you so impulsive? Can't you play well?" In fact, he is still very grateful to Artest. After all, he is also trying to help him vent his anger. ???????????? If it wasn¡¯t for Wells¡¯s hot temper and his reputation as a ¡°sister-in-law¡± for his gentle character, what would it have meant if he was pushed? It¡¯s just a pushit¡¯s not a punch! Thinking about the Trail Blazers, Rockets and Spurs that were about to face him, Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel dizzy. The Trail Blazers and Rockets are fine, but how can the Spurs be so good? "Alasit seems that I have to fight alone for several more times!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 262 Can you complete "Thunder"? In the end, the Clippers defeated the Grizzlies 103:92. Although Artest was ejected, the Grizzlies' Bunch Wells was also ejected. In addition, Grizzlies boss Pau Gasol lost all energy after fouling Wang Dalin. The next 10 For about a minute, he felt like he was sleepwalking on the court. In the final analysis, the cause of this conflict was Gasol's flagrant foul on Wang Dalin. Therefore, except for Gasol's dismal performance on the Grizzlies team, everyone else seemed to have lost their will to fight. They all fought in the final stage of the game. Very bad. Wang Dalin became more and more courageous in the final stage of the game, and his offensive and defensive efficiency was quite good, completely breaking the side effects of the "Super God Pickled Pepper". He made 13 of 28 shots from the field, including 5 of 13 three-pointers and 9 of 10 free throws. He scored 40 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists, 4 steals and 5 blocks. He once again contributed a 40+ triple-double, and also successfully Tied Jordan's record of scoring 40+ points in 9 consecutive games. Artest, who was expelled from the game, played a total of 28 minutes in this game. He made 8 of 14 shots and scored 24 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. He finally made his contribution to the Clippers' win. But that¡¯s it, because the league¡¯s penalty notice was announced early on March 7th¡ªArtest and Wells were each fined an additional $25,000 and suspended for 5 games for fighting on the court. The league gave both sides 50 rebounds, but the Clippers actually took advantage. After all, Artest beat Wells even worse. And because of their suspensions, Artest and Wells were unable to play in the next meeting between the two sides on March 12. Artest is also a big-hearted guy. After receiving the penalty ticket, he ran to the recording studio alone, saying that he wanted to record his new album Well, it turns out that every black person has a rap. Heart! In fact, at the beginning of the next season in the original history, that is, after the famous "Auburn Hills Palace Incident", this guy did tell the media that he could just take advantage of his suspension to record a new album He had to be replaced by Wang Dalin Being suspended for 73 games, maybe he can take the opportunity to make two movies. Artest¡¯s fine was paid by Wang Dalin on his behalf. First of all, he is the boss of the team and the person who makes the most money in the team. Sometimes he really should help his "little brother" take on more of the responsibility. Secondly Artest also caused this incident by standing up for him, so he should pay for it both logically and logically. Wang Dalin has always done a good job in this regard. For example, during the fight with the Lebanese team in the 2001 Asian Championships, he helped his teammates pay all the fines. On March 7, they faced the Trail Blazers back-to-back at home. Wang Dalin¡¯s side effects from the ¡°Super Pickled Pepper¡± finally disappeared and he returned to his normal state. In this campaign, he made 12 of 20 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers and 12 of 14 free throws. He scored 40 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, leading the Clippers to defeat the Trail Blazers 100:88. Team. The media was in a climax again, not because Wang Dalin hit another 40+ big triple-double. After all, this kind of data is no longer news to him. What the major media are rushing to report is the news that Wang Dalin scored 40+ points in 10 consecutive games. Although he is still far behind Wilt Chamberlain, he has surpassed Michael Jordan and ranked in NBA history. Fourth in consecutive games with 40+ points. One more thing Chamberlain, the "Ancient Data King", is indeed well-deserved. He twice scored 40+ points in 14 consecutive games, and once scored 40+ points in 11 consecutive games. March 8th is called "March 8th Women's Day" in China, but in fact the full name should be "United Nations Day for Women's Rights and International Peace". On this day, Wang Dalin did nothing and stayed at home all day. Being able to relive the life of an otaku is a special feeling for Wang Dalin at this time. It was said that he was reliving the life of an otaku, but in fact he did not do any of the things he liked to do when he was an otaku in his previous life There were no online forums or WeChat groups, nor did he lie in bed and sleep all day. On this day, he got up at 6:30 in the morning as usual. After washing, he went out and ran several kilometers. Then he went home to take a shower and eat breakfast, followed by routine physical training. After lunch, he took a short nap and then had another three hours of ball training in the afternoon. He focused on practicing his free throws. As his mid- and long-range shooting ability becomes stronger and stronger, his free throws have become the weakest link in this area. Although his free throw shooting rate this season has reached as high as 87.8%, he is still very dissatisfied. If it weren¡¯t for the free throw shooting percentage that held him back, he would have been able to join the ¡°180 Club¡± last season, and this season it will be even more exaggerated. As long as his free throw shooting percentage can increase to above 90%, he may even have a chance to become an NBA player.Whether Wang Dalin admits it or not, he is a man who will take revenge He just had a violent conflict with the Grizzlies a few days ago, how could he not take revenge on his opponent? "I just feel sorry for the Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown. He is 71 years old and has to watch his team being slaughtered on the sidelines. I don't know if his blood pressure can hold up?" After winning against the Grizzlies, the Clippers created another miracle. They actually won five consecutive games without Artest, Quentin, Mourning and other main players. There are two sets of these five games back-to-back, and there is also a difficult schedule of three consecutive away games. However, after returning home on March 14, they immediately lost to the Mavericks 94:100, and their winning streak was stopped. Speaking of which, the Mavericks are really good at defeating the Clippers. They have met 4 times this season, and the Clippers have lost all four games and were beaten to death. ??I won¡¯t talk about the last two games. After all, the Clippers are missing many main players, but in the first two games, the Clippers were fully staffed. ????????????????????????? Well, the team's integration was still very poor at that time, and even Artest hadn't come yet The loser has to find some excuse for himself! ¡­¡­ On March 16th and 17th, the Clippers experienced another back-to-back round. First they challenged the Suns away from home, and then they had to return home to face the Lakers. The Suns are easy to say. Against the bottom team in the Western Conference, even if Artest cannot play, Wang Dalin feels that the Clippers have more than 70% chance of winning. What¡¯s more, Artest¡¯s five-game suspension has expired, and he can come back in this away game against the Suns. From Wang Dalin¡¯s point of view, it¡¯s not that easy to win his opponent, it¡¯s really not that difficult. The entire process and result of the game were not surprising at all. The Clippers easily defeated the Suns 112:91, and Wang Dalin and Artest both scored more than 30 points. Wang Dalin made 14 of 19 shots from the field, including 4 of 7 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 38 points, 15 rebounds, 13 assists, 4 steals and 4 blocks. Artest made 11 of 18 shots from the field, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 31 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. March 17th is Wang Dalin¡¯s 22nd birthday, and it is also the day when the Clippers and the Lakers face off for the third time this season. And just two days later, on the evening of March 19th, they had their fourth meeting with the Lakers away from home this season. Wang Dalin will of course be very excited, because the game against the Lakers will involve two tasks for him, one is the series task "Thunder", and the other is the advanced task "Road to Superstar". After defeating the Lakers last time, he has received a reward that increases any specified ability value by 2 points. This reward has not been distributed yet and will not be settled until all four games with the Lakers this season are played. If he can win any of these two games, he can get another reward that increases the value of any specified ability by 3 points. If he can win both games, he can get another reward that increases any specified ability value by 5 pointsthe total of these rewards is very tempting! Of course, the prerequisite is that he can lead the team to win against the Lakers, otherwise he will only be able to receive a reward that increases any specified ability value by 2 points two days later. In addition, regarding the "Road to Superstar" task, playing against the Lakers will allow him to directly compete with the two S-level superstars, Kobe and O'Neal. As long as he exceeds them in all statistics, including all shooting percentages, in a game, And if he leads his team to win, he can win another victory. In the future, if I have the opportunity to take care of Iverson again, all advanced tasks can be completed. By then Haha, I'm sorry, Wang Dalin is also the new S-level superstar! Of course, the most important thing for Wang Dalin is the "Thundering" task. Regardless of whether personal data can "comprehensively defeat" Kobe and O'Neal, winning the game is the way to go! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Sorry, I have something to do today, so I have to take a day off! I have to be busy with house decoration today. I'm really sorry. I can only take one day off today! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 263 Health Basketball? I can¡¯t! On March 17, the lights inside and outside the "staples center" in Los Angeles were brightly lit. The arena was packed, but looking around, more than 80% of the fans were wearing the purple and gold jerseys of the Lakers, and there were very few fans wearing the white jerseys of the Clippers. ??If someone who doesn¡¯t know much about it comes to take a look, most of them would think this is the home court of the Lakers. In fact, this game is the home court of the Clippers. Wang Dalin was quite pleased. He still remembered that during the first city battle this season, more than 90% of the Lakers fans were present. Now the situation is much better. There¡¯s nothing you can do about it, it doesn¡¯t matter who the Clippers face at home, but as long as they face the Lakers, there is no difference at all between home and away. After the appearance ceremony, the players from both sides began to warm up. Wang Dalin noticed that Kobe's three-pointers have become more and more accurate, and his shooting percentage when unguarded is quite good, at least more accurate than when he was a rookie. This can be seen from his average three-point shooting percentage per game this season39.1%. This number is absolutely impossible in his original time and space! Friends who know Kobe must know that his three-point shooting percentage throughout his career is actually not high, it is almost the same as the league average. ???????????????? However, friends who are familiar with the game may not know that Kobe has also been very accurate at times. For example, in the 2002-2003 season, his three-point shooting percentage reached 38.3%. In this life, he has already begun to strengthen his three-point shooting training, so his three-point shooting percentage last season was slightly higher than in the original history, reaching 38.9%. His three-point attempts this season are higher than last season, but his shooting percentage has increased instead of falling, which shows that he is indeed becoming more and more accurate. Kobe was already very good in the beginning, and now he has strengthened his three-point shooting, which is like adding more power to a tiger. Therefore, even if Malone was plagued by injuries in the middle of the season, O'Neal was in and out due to a toe injury, and Payton's "glove" condition had obviously declined a lot, the Lakers were already very good relying only on Kobe's strong performance. , currently still ranks second in the Western Conference. There is a sayingif O'Neal, Malone and Payton were a little better, the Lakers would not be second in the Western Conference. At the beginning of the season, they had been ranked first in the Western Conference, and were later overtaken by the Timberwolves. During the warm-up before the game, Wang Dalin was about to go over to say hello to Kobe and the others, when he saw Kobe and O'Neal walking over on their own initiative. "Hey, brother, how are you doing lately?" O'Neal and Wang Dalin bumped their fists and said with a big smile. "Not bad, we just took care of the Suns yesterday!" Wang Dalin said with a smile, "If we take care of you tonight, it will be perfect!" Kobe sneered: "Take care of us? It's not that I look down on you. Even if your team has a complete lineup, it's still far behind, not to mention that it's still full of injured soldiers!" Wang Dalin smiled and said: "So what if the battalion is full of injured soldiers? When we beat the Spurs a few days ago, Ron was still suspended!" Kobe smiled and said, "Do you think Ron can guard me? Or maybe you can guard Shaq?" Wang Dalin glanced at O'Neal and saw the guy grinning again: "Darling, if you want to guard against me, you need to grow more muscles!" Wang Dalin said tit for tat: "Both each other If you want to guard against me, practice walking faster first!" The "greeting session" between the two sides before the game was as usual, full of "harmonious and friendly" atmosphere For example, O'Neal "cordially" hugged Wang Dalin before returning home at halftime, and almost choked him. Get angry. Fortunately, Wang Dalin has never been one to be willing to suffer losses. He also gave Kobe such a blow, and "Nagging" almost died on the spot In terms of strength, besides O'Neal, who else was Wang Dalin afraid of? In the tnt live broadcast room, Barkley and Smith are already in place. As long as these two guys get together, they can't avoid the fixed link of betting, so they discussed the bet about this game. "Charles, what are we betting on today?" "Kenny, why didn't you ask me whether I favored the Clippers or the Lakers? Instead, you asked me what to bet on?" "Do you still need to ask this? You must be optimistic about the Clippers again!" "Haha, it's true! Well, let me think about it, what should we bet on today" "It doesn't matter what you gamble on, don't gamble anymore money I've lost a lot during this period, and my wife doesn't care about me anymore!" "Really? Well, let's not bet todayhow about a slap in the face? If you lose, I'll slap you, if I lose, you'll slap me!" &n?'s average data per game is slightly better. All in all, Kobe's offensive skills have reached the point of perfection, and his combination of man and ball is almost perfect. Artest really can't guard him Whether he wants to admit it or not, this is a fact! Artest was beaten quite embarrassingly by Kobe on the defensive end. I am afraid this is the worst time he has been beaten this season. Fortunately, Wang Dalin gave him 3 assists in the first quarter. It's too embarrassing for him. After playing for a little more than 8 minutes, both sides began the first round of deployment, especially the Lakers. Phil Jackson directly took O'Neal, Malone and Payton off the court and replaced him with Staniskov. Medvedenko, Derek Fisher and Devin George. In this lineup, Medvedenko is naturally the big center at the fifth position, George, who is physically fit, moves to the fourth position, "Little Fish" Fisher plays the first position, and Kobe and Fox continue to be responsible for the second and third positions. The Clippers replaced Artest, Wang Zhizhi, Korver and Yaric, and replaced them with Eddie House, Bobby Simmons, Chris Wilcox and Matt Ba Enns. Wang Dalin directly moved to the fifth position, Wilcox was responsible for the power forward position, Simmons was the small forward, and Barnes swung to the second position. House was still the best candidate to replace the point guard. Although they can¡¯t guard Kobe, in Dunleavy¡¯s opinion, Barnes¡¯ lateral speed is slightly better than Simmons¡¯s, so if he plays against Kobe, the effect should be slightly better. Behind Jackson¡¯s thick glasses, his eyes had already narrowed, and his eyes would glance over Wang Dalin from time to time. In his opinion, this Clippers team does not have many bright spots, but Wang Dalin is a super combat power that he cannot ignore. If O'Neal can be exchanged for Wang Dalin, he will probably make a decision without hesitation. Although O'Neal is powerful, he is still old after all, and will get older and older in the future, while Wang Dalin is frighteningly young He is only 22 years old! Now he has made the entire league feel fear. In two years, the word "fear" will probably be replaced by "despair", right? Seeing that Wang Dalin was still on the court, Jackson estimated that Old Dunleavy would let him play the entire first quarterI'm going to cross you, there are still 15 games before the end of the regular season, shouldn't you be appropriate? Arrange a rotation? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After you "fucked" Darling King so hard, do you still have any professionalism as an NBA head coach? And youDarling-King, why are you working so hard? Don¡¯t you want to try ¡°healthy basketball¡±? If Wang Dalin could hear his voice, he might answer him politely - "Basketball for health? I don't know how!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 264 The A+-level star closest to S-level In the 1980s or 1990s, there were many players in the NBA who were qualified to be called "tough men", such as Wang Dalin's eldest brother Alonzo Mourning, or who only missed 5 games in the first 13 years of his career. Karl Malone in the game, they are all representatives of this type of players. However, if anyone has studied it specifically, they will know that their average playing time per game is far less than that of Allen Iverson. The "answer" is that the average playing time per game in the entire regular season of his career is as high as 41.1 minutes, which is only 41.1 minutes per game in NBA history. Second to "Ancient Data Emperor" Wilt Chamberlain and "Lord Baylor" Elgin Baylor. In other wordssince the NBA began to comprehensively collect statistics in the 1983-1984 season, Iverson has been the true "model worker" of the league! Although he has missed a lot of time due to injuries, he averages a lot of playing time per game! Even Kobe Bryant, who is known as a "physical freak", averaged only "only" 36.1 minutes per game throughout his career, a full 4 minutes less than Iverson! What is the concept of 4 minutes? For example - my country's famous basketball player Sun Yue, in the only season he played in the NBA, averaged only 2.8 minutes per game, less than 4 minutes! Another example - in the same city battle between the Lakers and Clippers, Kobe and Wang Dalin staged the most exciting scoring battle of the season in the last 4 minutes of the first quarter. ?? Among them, Kobe took all 7 shots of the Lakers and scored all 7 shots, scoring a full 15 points Well, one of the goals was a three-pointer! Wang Dalin also took all 7 shots of the Clippers, and he scored all 7 attacks Since there were two three-pointers, he scored 16 points, 1 point more than Kobe. ! They both made 6 consecutive shots, and the defense they faced was comparable to the playoff level. You can imagine the difficulty. Kobe not only showed off his increasingly stable behind-the-back fadeaway jumper, but also hit that extremely difficult fadeaway three-pointer in front of Wang Dalin. In comparison, it is slightly easier for Wang Dalin to score. After all, his height ensures that he has a better vision and his shots are less likely to be blocked or interfered with. Moreover, his strong core strength now also allows him to compete in confrontations. Able to maintain better body posture. In addition, although Kobe is now more accurate in shooting than he was in the original time and space, especially three-pointers, he is still inferior to Wang Dalin To compete with Wang Dalin in three-pointers, the entire league is estimated to only have Ray. Len and Peja Stojakovic, and they were obviously at a disadvantage. The stars of the two teams simultaneously contributed to the ultimate scoring performance. Even in the All-Star Game, it is estimated that it is difficult to have such a wonderful and fierce star battle scene, let alone the regular season where the defensive intensity is much higher? The audience was fascinated by it. If it weren't for the end of the first quarter, they even wished they could keep watching. In the tnt live broadcast room. Even the most die-hard "Darling fan" Barkley couldn't help but praise Kobe's performance: "Kobe is really amazing. He actually started a battle with Darling at this level again. This makes me I remember the 2002 Finals, when they both scored 70+ points in a single game!" Of course, after praising Kobe, he did not forget to praise his good brother Wang Dalin: "But just like that time, even though Kobe has performed perfectly, Kodali is still the stronger one He will never lose. This kind of confrontation!" Smith couldn't help but nodded and said: "I have to admit that you are right this time. Darling is indeed too powerful. I think no one is willing to admit that he is the number one in the league now, right?" In fact, the topic of whether Wang Dalin is already the number one player in the league has been raised before. However, given his status as a Chinese player, almost everyone in the league is deliberately avoiding talking about this issue. During the TNT live broadcast, Barkley always supported Wang Dalin, but people generally regarded this situation as just his own self-pleasure. But now Smith has laid out this argument outright. Tens of millions of TV viewers across the United States have witnessed and heard it with their own ears It is conceivable that this topic will be on the front pages of major media tomorrow. People from both sides will also express their opinions on this topic. Wang Dalin didn't know that Smith had put himself at the forefront of the limelight, and he didn't know what kind of terrifying public opinion trend there would be tomorrow morning. He was just sitting quietly on the chair, exuding a terrifying murderous feeling. The spirit of cutting. This murderous aura was so strong, almost like substance, that even Artest, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but shudder. This was the first time he saw with his own eyes what Wang Dalin looked like on the court.This game involves two tasks for him, how could he be willing to leave the field and rest easily? ??Besides, with his size, playing alone against Devin George is completely out of position If you're in a good mood, just do some fake moves and shoot. If you're not in a good mood, just go against the defense and pull up. What can George do to him? Although there are currently only four S-level superstars in the league, O'Neal, Duncan, Kobe and Iverson, there are at least a dozen A+-level stars. For example, McGrady, Nowitzki, Garnett, Pierce, Carter, Kidd and others, they are all A+ stars. Of course, Wang Dalin is currently also at A+ level. His comprehensive ability value has already reached 94, which is only a hair away from being an S-level superstar. But since the second season, he has defeated S-class superstars O'Neal, Duncan, Iverson and Kobe many times. Not only has he won personal data, but he can also lead his team to defeat the opponent's team. Therefore, his actual combat power is no longer lower than that of S-class superstars. As long as he completes the advanced tasks, he will immediately be promoted to S-class and it is a super S-class that is enough to look down on the entire alliance! ¡­¡­ The game is still going on fiercely. Since Kobe is not on the court, the Lakers' offensive focus naturally falls on O'Neal. Eli tried his best and couldn't stop O'Neal from forcing his way into the basket, but he still caused a lot of trouble for O'Neal It's very simple, if you can't stop it, just "cut the shark"! Anyway, he is just a bench player, so what if he leaves the field with 6 fouls? On the contrary, if he really used fouls to prevent O'Neal from attacking the basket 6 times, then he would have made a great contribution to the Clippers! O'Neal's face was unhappy when he stood on the free throw line, because he felt that his free throw touch tonight was very poor, and he had already missed two free throws in the first quarter. His feeling is really accurate In the second quarter, he only made 1 free throw out of 6 times at the free throw line, which was worse than his usual average shooting rate. Wang Dalin took the opportunity to lead the team to a 10:3 climax. By the time Kobe came back on the court, the Clippers were already 8 points ahead. This scene clearly exposed how poor Phil Jackson's on-the-spot adaptability was If he had replaced Kobe earlier, how could the Lakers be in such a predicament? Since Kobe Bryant has returned to the game, Old Dunleavy has naturally replaced Artest, and he has replaced all the starting five. He is also determined to win this game, so he will not hesitate to "beat the main team" The Lakers are one of his old clubs, how can he be willing to lose to them? Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, bringing the score to 5 points. But Wang Dalin immediately hit him back with a three-pointer, widening the point difference to 8 points. The two started a star rivalry again, and even directly faced each other. Kobe's defensive attitude and defensive skills are definitely the highest among the Lakers. Even though he is not as tall as Malone or as strong as him, his perimeter defensive effect is even better. After all, his footwork is mobile. Much faster than old Malone. Wang Dalin's outside offense became a little difficult, so he immediately changed his style of play and turned to the mid-range to ask for the ball from behind. Since it¡¯s difficult to get past Kobe¡¯s line of defense with a face-to-face breakthrough, let¡¯s just attack with his back. Anyway, Kobe is only 198cm tall, so it¡¯s impossible to prevent his turnaround and fadeaway jumper. Old Malone tried to come over to help defend several times, but Wang Dalin was always able to pass the ball to Artest who he missed at the most appropriate time, scaring him so much that he never dared to double-team easily again. O¡¯Neal let go of Wang Zhizhi several times to double-team him. He was huge and had a wide defensive surface. Wang Dalin could not clearly see Wang Zhizhi¡¯s position. But Wang Dalin was already jealous at this time, and he took a direct forceful shot when faced with a double-team, and his hit rate was not low at all! Wang Dalin, the A+-level star closest to S-level, actually suppressed two S-level superstars at the same time. Isn¡¯t it a strange scene in the NBA? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 265 The 22-year-old number one in the league At halftime, the Clippers led the Lakers by 6 points, 58:52. This point difference is not safe, especially when there is still a full half of the game During the halftime break, even Barkley did not complain in front of Smith. On the contrary, Smith performed very "mighty and unyielding", mainly because Kobe's outstanding performance in the first half gave him a lot of confidence. In the first half, Kobe made a total of 9 of 15 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 25 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. It was a perfect half-time performance. "It's a pity that everything is afraid of competition Wang Dalin made 10 of 15 shots in the first half, including 4 of 6 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 30 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. This half-time data is slightly higher than Kobe¡¯s 27.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.8 blocks per game this season! ¡°Obviously, whether Wang Dalin or Kobe, both of them will give a wonderful performance tonight that far exceeds their average data per game. If it was last season, maybe O'Neal would have stepped forward and played the role of a spoiler, but in this season's state he is really powerless to steal the show! In the third quarter, Wang Dalin did not continue to compete with Kobe. It was not that he felt that he could not beat him, but that he found that Kobe did not attack too much with the ball. Maybe it was because he attacked too hard in the first half. In the third quarter, Kobe obviously wanted to save his energy for the fourth quarter, so he played very "team". In this quarter alone, he sent 4 assists to his teammates. As a player who averages 5.5 assists per game, 4 assists in a single quarter is indeed very rare. Wang Dalin was of course happy and relaxed when Kobe Bryant didn't exert his strength. He also played the role of "high-position dealer" again in this quarter, and his assists were so satisfying. Wang Dalin had already sent out 5 assists in the first half, and he sent out 5 more assists in this quarter. In addition, he grabbed 5 rebounds in this quarter, and he had scored 30+ triple-doubles in three quarters. . When Wang Dalin failed to score a point in a single quarter, can you imagine how well the rest of the Clippers performed? Especially Artest, who scored 11 points in this quarter, finally dispelling some of the depression of being completely beaten by Kobe in the first half. There are also Korver and Wang Zhizhi. They each scored 2 three-pointers in this quarter and did their job very well. The two sides fell into a stalemate in the third quarter, with the point difference always hovering between 6 points and 4 points Neither Wang Dalin nor Kobe Bryant exerted their strength. O'Neal was trapped by the "shark-cutting tactic" and could not help the Lakers. team to make greater contributions. The Clippers have Artest, Wang Zhizhi and Korver performing well. The main reason why the Lakers have been able to hold on to the score is that Payton and Malone showed their strength. Payton first showed Dpoy-level defensive intensity on the defensive end, restricting both Jaric and House. Then he frequently picked and rolled with Malone on the offensive end Seeing this scene, the fans at the "Staples Center" seemed to see John Stockton. Yes, Payton and Malone's pick-and-roll cooperation is very tacit, and their copycat version of the "Utah Double Evil" is also very powerfulat least when they are full of physical energy, they are indeed very powerful! "It's a pity that Payton and Malone finally got tired in the fourth quarter. Even though their pick-and-roll was still perfect, their shooting accuracy dropped a lot, and they couldn't make any shots. Payton even missed the basket twice when he relied on pick-and-rolls to get to the basket. If he was still in the same state as last season, this would never happen! Wang Dalin and Kobe Bryant really showed their strength in the fourth quarter. They are still in strong condition and their hands are still so good. Maybe even Phil Jackson didn't expect that even with the "f4" combination, he could only rely on Kobe and Wang Dalin to compete. In the final stage of the game, Wang Dalin and Kobe Bryant's physical strength was also a bit too much. The decrease in physical strength will naturally affect their shooting touch. However, they are both players with high basketball intelligence. Since they can't shoot accurately from the outside, it's hard to Breaking to the basket. So in the last two or three minutes of the game, they both got a lot of free throw opportunities. Fortunately, Wang Dalin's free throws were more accurate, so he and the Clippers had the last laugh together. 115:109 This is the final score of this city battle, the Clippers finally won! Kobe Bryant made 14 of 25 shots, including 4 of 8 three-pointers and 10 of 12 free throws. He scored 42 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. He was the best performer of the Lakers in this game. However, Wang Dalin made 15 of 23 shots, including 7 of 12 three-pointers and 13 of 13 free throws. He scored 50 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks. All statistics surpassed Kobe Of course, he also surpassed Got OlympicsThe Clippers challenged the Lakers away from home. He had already asked Kobe Bryant for a front-row ticket in advance, and took Zhang Zilin to the Staples Center. Zhang Zilin¡¯s seat happened to be next to Kobe¡¯s wife Vanessa. The two beauties were sitting together. I don¡¯t know how many films they murdered on-site camera? Even "Director Zhang" in the CCTV live broadcast room couldn't help laughing and said: "This guy Dalin is so romantic, he actually took his girlfriend to Los Angeles!" This is Zhang Zilin¡¯s first time to watch the NBA regular season live, so Wang Dalin was very excited throughout the game and was in pretty good shape. His shooting touch was even better than in the previous game. In the end, he made 15 of 22 shots, including 6 of 10 three-pointers, 16 of 16 free throws, and scored 52 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. His performance was comparable to that on his birthday night. Not surprisingly, the Clippers defeated the Lakers 107:103, defeating the Lakers for the third time this season. After winning this game, Wang Dalin finally completed the "Thunder" series of tasks and received rewards with an ability value of +2, an ability value of +3, and an ability value of +5. That night, Wang Dalin and Zhang Zilin couldn't wait to enter the bedroom after returning home Zhang Zilin has to fly back to Beijing tomorrow. I don't know how long it will take to see each other next time. It's always particularly sentimental before parting! After sending away Zhang Zilin, the Clippers finally entered the sprint stage at the end of the season. As of March 20, the Clippers had a cumulative record of 45 wins and 27 losses, and were very close to reaching the playoffs. Therefore, Old Dunleavy finally gave up on continuing to "beat the main force" and instead increased the lineup. Rotate. In the final stage of the regular season, when the team has completely let go of the burden of record, it should appropriately strengthen the rotation. Obviously, after strengthening the rotation, the Clippers are playing more and more relaxed, and the record is getting better and better, almost reaching the level of rapid progress On March 21, the Clippers defeated the Warriors 105:96 at home; On March 22, the Clippers defeated the Nuggets 107:86 on the road; On March 24, the Clippers defeated the Trail Blazers 100:87 on the road; On March 25, the Clippers defeated the Wizards 110:84 at home; After defeating the Wizards, the Clippers won seven consecutive victories, which is also their longest winning streak this season. On March 27, the Clippers lost to the Timberwolves 94:99 at home; On March 28, the Clippers lost to the Warriors 98:99 in an away game. After their seventh consecutive victory, they immediately suffered two consecutive losses. On March 31, the Clippers defeated the Pistons 105:94 at home, doubling the defending champion and second place in the Eastern Conference this season. In this game, Wang Dalin made 13 of 18 shots from the field, including 6 of 9 three-pointers and 9 of 9 free throws. He scored 41 points, 19 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals and 5 blocks It seems that this guy is really good at the old age. The host's resentment is indeed deep, and he will kill them every time he encounters them! If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the last few minutes of the game had not entered garbage time, it would have been entirely possible for him to score 50+ triple-doubles again. The March game is finally over. Wang Dalin once again won the title of Western Conference Player of the Month with averages of 41.8 points, 14.2 rebounds, 11.3 assists, 2.4 steals and 2.9 assists per game. This time he definitely deserves the award, because in addition to leading the league in personal statistics, the Clippers also had an outstanding record of 13 wins and 5 losses in March. It is no exaggeration to say - in this month, Wang Dalin's performance has been enough to match Jordan in his strongest period, and even one level better than Jordan at that time! Now no one questions what Smith said - "Darling King is the number one player in the cash league!" If he is not the first person, then who else can he be? If you have the ability, you can also lead a team that was last in the Western Conference last season to the playoffs? ?????????????????????????????????????? If you have the ability, you can also average 41.8 points, 14.2 rebounds, 11.3 assists, 2.4 steals and 2.9 assists per game, right? Even you have the ability to let everyone add your name to the discussion of the first person in the league? To put it bluntly - if it weren't for the fact that Wang Dalin is only 22 years old and has not received enough personal honors and team honors so far, some people would probably list him among the strongest players in history! As the number one player in the league at only 22 years old, Wang Dalin did not stop his progress. In the 6 games in April, the Clippers immediately won a wave of victories. He ended his career with another seven-game winning streak. The fourth regular season journey! In his first season with the Clippers, Wang Dalin led the Clippers to an excellent record of 53 wins and 29 losses. With this record, they ranked fifth in the Western Conference! The Timberwolves are still number one in the Western Conference this season, just like in the original history. Their record is 58 wins and 24 losses. The Lakers ranked second in the Western Conference with 57 wins and 25 losses, and the Spurs ranked third in the Western Conference. Their record was 56 wins and 26 losses, followed by the Kings with 55 wins and 27 losses. The fifth is the Clippers with 53 wins and 29 losses, the sixth is the Mavericks with 52 wins and 30 losses, the Warriors are seventh, their record is 51 wins and 31 losses, and finally the Grizzlies, they are 50 wins and 32 losses. The record just entered the playoff circle. The Pacers rank first in the East with a record of 61 wins and 21 losses, followed by the Nets with a record of 47 wins and 35 losses.

(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 266 Unpopular events The 2003-2004 season finally ended, and Wang Dalin immediately received a reward. Although the league has not yet announced awards such as regular season mvp, dpoy, and best lineup, the individual data kings will naturally be announced as the season ends. Wang Dalin won the scoring, rebounding and assist titles in one fell swoop by averaging 36.9 points, 14.7 rebounds and 10.1 assists per game. Last year, he already won the scoring and assists titles, so he was unable to receive rewards for these two categories. However, he won the rebounding title for the first time and could receive a reward of +5 relative to his ability. Regarding the ability value of rebounds, they are offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds. After both of them are +5, plus the bonus of "The Strongest Second Leader Badge" and "Backboard Wristband", his offensive rebounds have now reached 100 , the defensive rebounds also reached 98. However, all ability values ??are only 99 at full value, so his offensive rebounds are now at 99 and defensive rebounds at 98 only 1 point away from reaching full value. This season he averaged a triple-double per game. He originally hoped to obtain the "Stealth Action Badge" reward. Unfortunately, the Clippers' winning rate was only 64.6% and did not reach 70%, so he could only regretfully compete with The reward passed by. Fortunately, with his defensive data of 2.3 steals and 2.6 blocks per game this season, coupled with the important data of his rebounding leader, being selected for the first team of the All-Defensive Team will be a sure thing, so as long as he waits for a while, he can Obtain the reward of "Inside Defense +3, Outside Defense +3". Also, his total score this season reached an astonishing 3,029 points, which is also the highest total score in a season since Michael Jordan in the 1986-1987 season, and currently ranks fifth in history. The only players ahead of him were Chamberlain (4,029 points in the 1961-1962 season), (3,586 points in the 1962-1963 season), (3,033 points in the 1960-1961 season) and Jordan (3,041 points in the 1986-1987 season). This data also adds another important weight to his title of "No. 1 in the league." Now all aspects of the North American sports world believe that Wang Dalin will 100% win the regular season MVP this season. Wang Dalin thinks so himself. He doesn¡¯t believe the league will award this award to anyone else. ??Averaging 36.9 points, 14.7 rebounds, 10.1 assists, 2.3 steals and 2.6 assists per game, shooting 60.1% from the field, 50.4% from the three-point range, and 90.3% from the free throw line With this data, who else in the league can compare? Looking at the entire NBA history, except for those data monsters from the "ancient times", where else can anyone compare to him? If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the neighbors around him couldn¡¯t understand Chinese, Wang Dalin would probably have stood on his balcony and shouted a few times - ¡°Who else is there?¡± As the regular season comes to an end, the playoff lineup has also been released. In the East, they are Pacers (1) vs. Celtics (8), Heat (4) vs. Hornets (5), Pistons (3) vs. Bucks (6), Nets (2) vs. Knicks (7) ). In the West, they are Timberwolves (1) vs. Grizzlies (8), Kings (4) vs. Clippers (5), Spurs (3) vs. Mavericks (6), Lakers (2) vs. Warriors (7). The Eastern Conference has clear strengths and weaknesses. The strongest teams are the Pacers, Pistons and Nets, and the other teams are not enough. What¡¯s more regrettable is that the 76ers Once upon a time, they had several fierce battles with the Lakers in the finals. Less than 4 years ago, they failed to even make the playoffs! ¡­¡­ The first round of the playoffs begins on April 17. There are only four games on the first day, namely the Pacers vs. the Celtics, the Nets vs. the Knicks, the Lakers vs. the Warriors, and the Spurs vs. the Mavericks. The two games in the Eastern Conference were too clear-cut, so Wang Dalin didn¡¯t pay attention to them and just sent Carlisle a blessing text message. The two games in the West are a bit interesting. The first is the Lakers versus the Warriors Just a year ago, the Lakers defeated the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals in last year's playoffs and advanced to the Western Conference Finals. However, it was not easy for them to win last year. The two sides fought to the tiebreaker. In the end, the Lakers only relied on their richer playoff experience to get through the danger. After a year, Billups, Yao Ming, Jamison and Richardson made a comeback. Can you imagine what resentment they have towards the Lakers? This game was played in darkness, with the two sides alternating the lead more than ten times. Kobe, O'Neal, Billups and Yao Ming showed their true superstar style. When Yao Ming faced off against O'Neal last year, he was completely at a disadvantage. There was nothing he could do about it Even if they were as strong as the other three of the "four major centers in the 1990s", only Olajuwon could compete with O'Neal at his peak. Everyone else was He can only be completely suppressed by him. ? ??Flexible steps around the basket and excellent shooting ability make up for this shortcoming. The reason why he was able to compete with O'Neal in this game was mainly due to his precise mid-range shot If he really had to fight O'Neal under the basket, he would definitely not be able to beat him. The Warriors defeated the Lakers 108:99 in this game. The main reason why they were able to win this game was certainly not that Yao Ming and O'Neal formed a mutual rivalry, nor was it that Billups and Richardson teamed up to limit Kobe's shooting percentage to about 40%. It's because the Lakers can't guard Jamison! Karl Malone has very rich defensive experience. He even restricted "Deng Dadai" in the Western Conference finals in history, but he really couldn't restrict Jamison! No matter how powerful Duncan is, his main means of attack is still the inside attack, but Jamison is different. He can shoot from a longer distance and move faster. After all, Ma Long is a veteran who is about to turn 41 years old. No matter how powerful he is, he is still Lian Po and is really "unable to make a living". If he were one or two years younger, how could Malone not be able to guard against Jamison? On the offensive end, he was able to score some points with mid-range shots after pick-and-rolls, but on the defensive end to put it lightly, he was the main culprit for the Lakers' loss in this game! Jamison made 8 of 14 shots in this game, including 1 of 3 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 20 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. His performance completely overshadowed Malone, who only scored 8 points and 6 rebounds. Of course, "second brother" Billups also performed very well In this campaign, he made 7 of 14 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored the second-highest score of 23 on the team. points, and also contributed 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. Some people are born with a "big heart", and you won't be able to accept it! The Lakers, second in the Western Conference, were defeated by the Warriors, seventh in the Western Conference, in the first game. It was a moderate upset, but the Spurs, third in the Western Conference, and the Mavericks, sixth in the Western Conference, suffered an even bigger upset. If both teams had a full lineup, it would be normal for who would win, but the Mavericks' starting forward Antoine Walker was absent due to injury, and just like that, the Spurs actually lost, and lost by a full 20 points This is a bit ridiculous. Got it! In this campaign, the "veteran driver" made 15 of 27 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 9 of 10 free throws. He scored 41 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. He almost finished the game and "only scored" 21 Duncan scored 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. For the Mavericks, in addition to Nowitzki, Nash contributed 19 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal. The team's "former boss" Michael Finley also contributed 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, as well as Josh Howard. He also scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Although the "French sports car" Tony Parker and the "Argentine demon knife" Manu Ginobili both performed well, it is a pity that other role players played too much. How could they not lose? The situation in the Western Conference this year is quite complicated, and the eight teams entering the playoffs are all very strong. No matter what the ranking is, if anyone dares to take it lightly, he may end up with a "black eight" or a "black seven" or something. . So on the evening of April 18, at the pre-game mobilization meeting in the visiting team's locker room, Dunleavy asked the Clippers players not to take it lightly and to go all out, no matter whether they were ahead or behind! The Kings are indeed very strong. They have a record of 3 wins and 1 loss against the Clippers in the regular season this season, but Dunleavy does not think that the Clippers are worse than them. After all, the Clippers have been short of major generals for a long time during the regular season, and now all their injured players have returned to the team. Otherwise, how could they have achieved a record of 14 wins and 2 losses in the final stage of the regular season? The Clippers currently have a well-organized lineup and have just reached their best form this season. Their strength is more than just fifth place in the Western Conference (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 267 Victory in the first battle The Clippers have a complete lineup, and most of the main players have been working together for a whole season, and their tacit understanding is now quite ideal. Based on Wang Dalin¡¯s feeling, and with the current good chemical reaction of the Clippers, it should be no worse than the Pistons in the 2001-2002 season. You knowthe Pistons were the championship that season! Of course, in terms of paper strength alone, the Pistons that season were even stronger than last season. After all, they had "second brother" Billups that season, and last season he was replaced by Jeff McGinnis. ¡°A core point guard like Jeff McGinnis is at best slightly better than Derek Fisher, but there is no comparison with his ¡°second brother¡±! For example, this season, the "second brother" has gradually replaced Jamison in the Warriors and has become the leader of this team. This is not nonsense, but Jamison himself admitted it! He once accepted an interview with reporters in the middle of the season, and clearly said this in the interview - "Chauncy is the kind of natural leader, you can't help but admire him We will definitely be united, Let¡¯s fight for the championship together!¡± "The former boss of the team" is already convinced by the "second brother", let alone the two younger brothers Jason Richardson and Yao Ming? Without the words and deeds of Billups, a big brother, how could Yao Ming have made such rapid progress? To be honest, even if Yao Ming enters the league and is by Wang Dalin's side, it will probably be like this after two seasons. This shows how much help Billups has to him? The same is true for Artest, who is currently on the Clippers. Last season, he averaged only 15.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.3 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, shooting 42.8% from the field and 33.6% from the three-point range. This season, his average data per game has reached 21.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 2.8 steals, and 0.9 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 48.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 38.6%, which is much better than in the original history! If he had not come to the Clippers at the beginning of the season and stayed with the Pacers, he would probably have followed the same old path This season he averaged 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.1 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, and won Next dpoy award. ? Then he experienced the "Auburn Hills Palace Incident" at the beginning of next season and was suspended for almost an entire season, never able to reach his true peak. So, Artest didn¡¯t know In fact, Wang Dalin saved him in disguise and helped him take a solid step towards his peak state. For Artest, what he wants to do most right now is to have a good fight in the playoffs with Wang Dalin. No matter where he ends up, he should try his best in every game. . There is another person¡ª¡ªQuentin Richardson! This guy missed a lot of games due to injury this season, but after returning at the end of the season, he was in very good shape, especially his three-pointers were more accurate than before, and even reached over 50% in the last 6 games! Having him in the Clippers' starting lineup means that Wang Dalin can be more comfortable in mid-range and low post attacks. As long as the opponent dares to double-team him, he can pass the ball to the outside. This tactic works particularly well when Wang Dalin plays center, because old Dunleavy will also send Korver in this lineup. The opponent has two strong men on the outside who can shoot over 40% of their three-pointers, plus Artest who shoots 38.6% and Eddie House who shoots 37.5% How dare you double-team Wang Dalin? ? In the final stage of the regular season, the Clippers showed the entire league the power of three-pointers When all five players on the field can shoot three-pointers, no matter what defensive tactics you adopt, you will inevitably lose sight of one. Just like the "Cosmic Brave" in the small ball era in later generations, when Steve Kerr comes up with the "Five Small" lineup, who should you focus on defending? Defending against Curry? Thompson can shoot too! Guarding Curry and Thompson? Durant can shoot too! Defending Durant? ¡°Hahaare you thinking too much? Although "Du Xiaoshuai" has a strong "diaosi aura" off the court, he will transform into the terrifying "god of death" as soon as he arrives on the court. Who in the entire league can really guard against him? It is definitely impossible to defend him. It is better to send someone to stalk him. When his physical fitness declines in the second half of the fourth quarter, his efficiency will naturally be greatly reduced. When he was still the boss of the Thunder, other teams targeted him in this way, and sometimes it really achieved good results! But in "Universe Yong"are you really going to die for being a "primary school student" and a "Tang Shen"? Whenever these two haveAmong all the small forwards in the entire Western Conference, only Artest can compare with him. Even from a statistical point of view, Artest is slightly inferior to him. Therefore, in the first round of the playoffs, in addition to keeping an eye on Chris Webber, the Clippers must also always pay attention to Peja, a sharp outside shooter. If he makes a shot, even a defensive champion like Artest will Extreme headache. The G1 battle between the two sides officially started on the evening of April 18th. At the beginning of the game, the Kings opened up the situation through various skilled cooperation, especially Chris Webber and Brad Miller took turns to provide support in the high post. Bibby used the screen to run and hit consecutive hits in the mid-range. However, the Clippers quickly retaliated. Wang Dalin held the ball and continuously attacked under the basket, directly fouling Brad Miller twice and taking him off the court. Kings head coach Rick Adelman replaced Verrati Divac. The 36-year-old Serbian and Montenegro center averaged 9.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 1 block per game in the regular season this season. Pretty good for a backup center. And he is 216cm tall and weighs 110kg, and his ability to protect the inside frame is no less than that of Brad Miller. But that¡¯s all¡­ After all, his current opponent is Wang Dalin! If Dunleavy Sr. continues to reuse Alonzo Mourning, Divac might actually have good results. First of all, he will not attack too much on the inside, but will provide a lot of support from the high position. Secondly With Divac's size, Mourning really can't beat him! But how could Wang Dalin not be able to impress him? If Wang Dalin launches an attack from the outside, Divac won't dare to defend him at all, otherwise he can easily break through in just one step, as easy as walking on the road in the early morning! If Wang Dalin attacks hard on the inside, with his current strength of 93, Divac won't be able to withstand it even if he is a few years younger! Besides, Wang Dalin is not the kind of big center who only relies on his body to attack the basket. His "dream dance moves" are currently unique in the league! Let alone Divac, even if O'Neal faces him in the paint, he may not be able to take advantage! So after Divac came on the court, he not only failed to restore the Kings' decline, but instead became the biggest defensive black hole on the court. The Clippers took the opportunity to hit a 10:2 spurt and finally opened the score. In the second quarter, Adelman replaced Brad Miller again. He hoped that this excellent center who averaged 14.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks per game this season could compete with Wang Dalin on the offensive end. Unexpectedly, after he came on the court, he was blocked twice by Wang Dalin, and he was so frightened that he did not dare to shoot. Wang Dalin dealt cards in the high position many times. Artest, Richardson, Korver, House and others frequently succeeded in attacking with his assists, and the point difference between the two sides became wider and wider. At the end of the first half, the Clippers led by 14 points at 61:47, and the Kings were about to be defeated. After the start of the third quarter, the Kings adjusted their strategy and focused their offense on Webb. The power forward who has been selected to the All-Star team for five consecutive years finally showed his strong strength. He first scored two consecutive goals in the paint, and then hit consecutive shots at the free throw line, leading the Kings to an 8:0 victory. Little climax. During this period, Wang Dalin felt a little cold and failed to hit three consecutive mid- and long-range shots, so he adjusted his strategy in time and strengthened the inside attack. The situation was quickly turned around by Wang Dalin. His inside attack was vigorous. The Kings' Miller, Webber and Divac took turns to defend him, but it was still to no avail. Instead, he committed two fouls. As Wang Dalin becomes more courageous as he fights, the rest of the Clippers are getting better and better The game has lost its suspense from this moment on. In the end, the Clippers defeated the Kings 115:102 and won the G1 game on the road. Wang Dalin made 12 of 19 shots from the field, including 2 of 6 three-pointers and 10 of 11 free throws. He scored 36 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks. He was a strong performer. "Second leader" Artest also performed well. He made 9 of 17 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. After winning the game, Matt Barnes suggested going to a nightclub to "relax", but was directly scolded by Dunleavy Sr. and Wang Dalin. Are you kidding me? Now you just won a game, what¡¯s there to be proud of? If the Kings were swept out 4-0, it would be more like going to a nightclub to "relax" at that time! ¡°However, Wang Dalin did not dare to be blindly optimistic, and neither did old Dunleavy. The Clippers have played very well in this game, but the Kings have not used their full strength at all. If Webber, Peja, Bibby, Christie, Miller, Divac and others give full play, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose. Woolen cloth! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??, but the Kings have not exerted their full strength at all. If Webb, Peja, Bibby, Christie, Miller, Divac and others fully exert their strength, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose!

(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 268 Many fierce battles In the field of basketball, the first thing to compete is the strength of the team, but the situation on the court changes rapidly, and each player will also have his own performance affected by various situations, so just having strength may not necessarily lead to defeating the opponent. Just like the G2 game between the Kings and the Clippers, Webb, Peja, Bibby and others lost to Wang Dalin and his teammates again at home, and this time they lost even more completely. ? 121:100No one can accept such a score, let alone Rick Adelman, who has a sky-high ambition? At the post-game press conference, the famous coach who promoted the "Princeton Style" in the NBA was rarely angry¡ª¡ª "I don't know what happened to Chris, Mike and Peja. They had huge problems in executing their tactics and they didn't achieve the results I hoped for at all!" "Darling King is very powerful. He destroyed our entire inside line by himself. Brad and Verratti both committed six fouls and left the game because of him. This was the fundamental reason why we collapsed early in the middle of the fourth quarter! " "Darling-Wang also has strong organizational skills. He sent 12 assists today, each time causing huge trouble for our defense!" "AlsoI have repeatedly emphasized the importance of rebounding to the players, but it is obvious that they did not pay attention to this issue today! Tonight, the Clippers players grabbed 19 offensive rebounds, but we only grabbed 7. No team can win in this situation!" "Finally, I have to congratulate the Clippers. They played a wonderful game and humiliated us However, when we get to the Staples Center in two days, I will definitely lead the Kings from them. You can find this place with your body!" Adelman¡¯s last sentence was very resounding, but he failed to fulfill his promise On April 24, the G3 battle between the two sides started at the "Staples Center" in Los Angeles, and the Kings still lost. The score is 110:114, they only lost by 4 points! In this game, both Weber and Peja showed their normal state, and they were even slightly better than their usual state. But the Kings have never been able to solve the defensive problem inside. They still couldn't guard Wang Dalin, Brad Miller and Verratti Divac both committed 5 fouls If Adelman hadn't arranged for Webber in time Switching positions with the player at position 5, the two of them have probably committed six fouls and left the field. After three games, Wang Dalin averaged 15.5 free throws per game, far exceeding his regular season average of 9.8 free throws per game. He did not commit fouls like the "bearded second generation" James Harden in later generations. These fouls were all made by him under the basket with his opponents with real swords and guns! Especially in the G3 game, Brad Miller's defensive actions have been very fierce, even beyond the scope of normal basketball actions To put it bluntly, this guy has already done something wrong to Wang Dalin! But Wang Dalin had the "Copper Skin and Iron Bone Badge" to protect his body. He simply ignored his increasingly fierce defensive moves and continued to make trouble at the basket. In these three games, Wang Dalin showed his super dominance under the basket. Even Barkley on the live broadcast couldn't help but admire his hitting¡ª¡ª "The style of play in the entire league is getting softer and softer now. Every player is like a soft-footed shrimp. It is far worse than what we had back then! But obviously Darling-Wang plays very tough. I believe that even if he is thrown away In our era, he can still become the most dazzling superstar!" As if to prove what Barkley said, Wang Dalin performed very well in the G4 game on April 26, even better than his previous three games. In this game, he made 12 of 19 shots, including 3 of 4 three-pointers and 15 of 16 free throws. He scored 4, 2 points, 22 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks, leading the team to defeat the Kings again. Just the day before, that is, on the night of April 25, the Pacers had swept the Celtics 4:0 Under the leadership of Carlisle, this team was invincible in the Eastern Conference and could be said to have no opponents at all! On the evening of April 25, the Nets also swept the Knicks, and the Clippers became the third team to sweep their opponents to advance. On the other side, the Timberwolves currently lead the Grizzlies with a big score of 2:1. The G4 game between them will be held on April 27. Even if the Timberwolves can defeat the Grizzlies 4:1, this series will not end until April 30 at the earliest, so the Clippers players will have plenty of rest time. Although the rest time was long, Old Dunleavy did not give the players a holiday. Instead, he convened everyone every day for some light group confrontation training. It is certainly gratifying to sweep the opponent 4:0 to advance, but if they are idle for too long, the players will relax too completely. Once they encounter a strong opponent, they are likely to suffer.?Here, in addition to O'Neal's 28 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, Kobe also contributed 28 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, as well as Malone's 17 points, 8 rebounds, 1 block and Payton's 15 points, 4 rebounds and 6 blocks. Assists and 2 stealshow can the Warriors win? So it was no surprise that the Lakers easily defeated the Warriors 109:92, sweeping their opponents with a big score of 4:1 to advance to the Western Conference semifinals. Last year, the Warriors and Lakers lost in 7 games. A year later, they lost in only 5 games. This result is of course hard to accept. The Warriors are undoubtedly stronger than last year, but the Lakers are obviously stronger than last year Kobe was not troubled by the "Eagle County Incident", and Malone did not have conflicts with Kobe because of Vanessa. The Lakers are obviously better than last year. It turned out to be much stronger in history! On April 29, the Pistons defeated the Bucks 91:77. They also swept their opponents and advanced to the second round. After losing Wang Dalin, the Pistons' strength has declined compared to last season, but they are the defending champion after all. Elton Brand can have an advantage whether he faces Joe Smith or Keith Van Horn and the Pistons The team's overall defense was so strong that the Bucks had no chance! After 5 games, the Pistons averaged 98.2 points, 45.2 rebounds, 24 assists, 9.6 steals and 8.2 blocks per game, while the Bucks only averaged 85.6 points, 39.2 rebounds, 20.6 assists, 8.2 steals and 4.2 blocks per game. The gap between the two sides is really huge. Although the Pistons shot only 36.8% in this series, they limited the Bucks to 32.4% Larry Brown, an old boy, doesn't believe anything else, but he does have a way of training defense! And now that he has a Dpoy-level super defensive player like Ben under his command, how easy is it to build the team's defensive system? The Pistons' offensive power has indeed dropped a lot compared to last season, but their defense has indeed reached a new level. It's not that Wang Dalin's defense is not as good as Brand's. The main reason is that last season the team's head coach was Carlisle, who paid attention to the balance of offense and defense Under the "temptation" of Wang Dalin's super offensive power, Carlisle even preferred to play offensive basketball. . On April 30, the G5 game between the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies that Wang Dalin was most concerned about finally started. Garnett's performance in this game was even more exciting than in previous games. He made 9 of 16 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 13 of 15 free throws. He scored 32 points, 17 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. . With Garnett playing so strong, how can the Grizzlies resist? In the end, the Timberwolves easily defeated the Grizzlies 102:91, advancing to the Western Conference semifinals in a gentleman sweep. There will be no games on May 1st, so all teams can take this opportunity to have a day off. It doesn¡¯t matter to teams that have already advanced or been eliminated, but the series between the Heat and the Hornets has just finished the fifth game, and the Heat currently lead 3:2. On May 2, the G6 game between the Heat and the Hornets began. After this battle, the two sides fought to a score of 3:3, and a tiebreaker was required to determine the winner. At the same time, the Western Conference semifinals between the Lakers and Spurs started first. The Spurs also swept the Mavericks 4:1. The main reason was that Mavericks starting forward Antoine Walker was absent due to injury. Without "Fat Toutuo", the Mavericks are like walking without a leg Although the "veteran driver" scored 24+10+3 per game, Nash also averaged 17.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game. The Mavericks still find it difficult to withstand the strong bombing of the Spurs' "gdp" combination. In this series, Duncan's average playing time was only 33.4 minutes per game, and he did not go all out at all. However, after facing the Lakers, Bobo immediately felt huge pressure. This game allowed Duncan to play a full 42 minutes on the court, but he still couldn't withstand the full performance of the Lakers' "f4" combination. This was the best game the Lakers played since the start of this year's playoffs. Kobe, O'Neal, Malone and Payton combined to score 94 points, 36 rebounds, 21 assists, 8 steals and 7 blocks It was definitely a man-blocking kill. Buddha! On May 3, the Eastern Conference semifinals finally started, and the Pistons easily defeated the Nets 78:56. You read that rightthe final score of this game was 78:56. Just looking at the score, you can imagine the suffocating defensive intensity played by the Pistons! On May 4, the Heat defeated the Hornets 85:77 and finally advanced to the second round of the playoffs. At the same time, the Western Conference semifinals between the Timberwolves and the Clippers will also begin. In the last round of the series, Garnett averaged 25.8 points, 14.8 rebounds, 7 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.2 blocks per game, shooting 49.8% from the field and 82.3% from the free throw line. His performance was even better than in the regular season. Even better. Moreover, Sam Cassel averaged 20.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, and Latrell Sprewell averaged 20.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks per game The Timberwolves' " The power of the three-headed monster combination is truly terrifying! If they still perform like this in the Western Conference semifinals, the Clippers will undoubtedly be very uncomfortable Wang Dalin and Artest can only deal with two of them, what about the remaining one? Wang Dalin¡¯s answer is ¨C since this is the case, can¡¯t I just do one more thing? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Damn itthe Timberwolves' "three-headed monster" combination is truly terrifying! If they still perform like this in the Western Conference semifinals, the Clippers will undoubtedly be very uncomfortable Wang Dalin and Artest can only deal with two of them, what about the remaining one? Wang Dalin¡¯s answer is ¨C since this is the case, can¡¯t I just do one more thing? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 269 Western Conference Floor At the end of the first round of the playoffs, the league finally announced the results of all awards this season. The Best Sixth Man Award was won by Al Harrington of the Pacers. He averaged 30.9 minutes per game this season, 13.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1 steal, and 0.3 blocks. He shot 46.3% from the field and three-pointers. The shooting percentage was 27.3% and the free throw percentage was 73.4%. Looking at personal data alone, Harrington is not as good as Wang Dalin in his rookie season. You must know that at that time, Wang Dalin averaged only 23.8 minutes per game, but his average data per game had reached 13.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.6 blocks. His three field goal percentages reached 47.8%, 36.1%, and 80.2%. Looking at the entire history of NBA, there are really few best sixth man winners who can compare with Wang Dalin! Looking at the Rookie of the Year award, the competition for this award this year is very fierce, because both LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony played very exciting performances. ??Among them, James averaged 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, while Anthony averaged 21 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks per game. Just looking at the data output, James is indeed slightly better, but Anthony's three shooting percentages reached 42.6%, 32.2% and 77.7%, while James only had 41.7%, 29% and 75.4% Taken together, the two men's personal shooting percentages reached 42.6%, 32.2% and 77.7%. Performance is almost identical. In the end, just like the original history, James won this important award that can only be won once in a lifetime. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????. The Most Improved Player Award was awarded to "Big Black Bear" Zach Randolph. Last season, he only averaged 8.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. This season, he averaged 20.1 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.5 blocks Looking at the data alone, he is even more eye-catching than Yao Ming! Yes, others average 20+10 per game, but you only average 19+11 per game is it just a little bit worse? Don¡¯t underestimate the impact of averaging 20+10 per game! Even if he is as strong as Pau Gasol, he has never averaged 20+10 per game in a season in his entire career not once! Therefore, Zach Randolph definitely deserves the Most Improved Player Award, and it can be said that there is no dispute. After talking about these "small prizes", it's time to talk about the "big prize"! The Best Coach Award goes to Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy The old man brought the Clippers, which was second to last in the Western Conference last season, to fifth in the Western Conference. What else is there to say? Besides, the Clippers¡¯ record last season was only 27 wins and 55 losses, but this season they have reached 53 wins and 29 losses. They have achieved a qualitative leap. How could he not win the best coach award? In the original history, this award was awarded to the Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown. He also won this award because he led the weak team to a brilliant record. But in this life, no matter how brilliant the Grizzlies' record is, it can't compare to the Clippers, so he can only say "goodbye" to the second best coach trophy of his coaching career. The Best Defensive Player Award was awarded to Ron Artest, just like the original history. In the original history, Artest's winning of this award did not cause much controversy. After all, his performance in the Pacers was indeed impressive enough, and the team's record ranked first in the league. There have been many twists and turns in this life, because there is one person whose votes are too close to him He is Wang Dalin! The two of them are on the same team, so there is no need to compare team records. What needs to be compared is only individual performance. Artest averaged 21.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 2.8 steals and 0.9 blocks per game this season. He also won the steals title this season. He is a really strong defensive team. Wang Dalin averaged 36.9 points, 14.7 rebounds, 10.1 assists, 2.3 steals and 2.6 blocks per game this season. Looking at the data alone, his defense is even better than Artest. But the league¡¯s selection of the DPOY Award will not only look at data, but will also refer to the player¡¯s overall defensive efficiency and his proportion on the team¡¯s defensive end. Wang Dalin is so outstanding on the offensive end, but his performance on the defensive end is slightly inferior. Therefore, this award was awarded to Artest, who worked harder on the defensive end, and it is well deserved. Since dpoy was not awarded to Wang Dalin, mvp said there was no way he would not be awarded it! So Wang Dalin won the regular season MVP award for the second time in a row. This is also the most important award in the NBA every season no one! ¡°The difference from other MVPs in history is thatWang Dalin got all the reporters¡¯ votes.¡±After the season, Garnett suddenly found that he would encounter an opponent who was completely unable to resist! Throughout the game, Garnett's self-confidence was wiped out bit by bit by Wang Dalin. This feeling of aggrievedness was so overwhelming that he even wanted to look up to the sky and scream - "Darling-Wang." What kind of monster is this guy? Is there anyone in this world who is stronger than him?" Facts have proved that there is indeed someone in the world who is stronger than Wang Dalin in this game He is Wang Dalin in the G2 battle between the two sides! Wang Dalin performed even better in this game. He made 16 of 23 shots, including 6 of 9 three-pointers and 11 of 12 free throws. He scored 49 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. If it weren't for his early exit in the last three minutes of the game, Wang Dalin would definitely be able to hit a super triple-double of 50+20+10 in the playoffs There is no way, the opponent has surrendered, you can't still want it Are you just going to collect data on the field? If it were the "Admiral" David Robinson back then, maybe he would really be able to do such a thing! After returning home, the Clippers continued their efforts and won two games in a row, directly sweeping out the first place in the Western Conference this season. Wang Dalin is also very happy to be touching the floor of the Western Conference Finals He has never touched this thing before! Now he can only wait quietly, waiting for the winner of the Lakers and Spurs to come and meet them in the Western Conference Finals (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 270 The Strongest Opponent The series between the Clippers and Timberwolves on May 12 has ended, so Wang Dalin and the others can only wait for the Spurs and Lakers to decide the outcome. At this time, the Lakers and Spurs have already fought to a score of 2:2. Such a big score is not beyond everyone's expectations, but there is one thing that is unexpectedthe two teams won each of the two games were in the opponent's game. At home, this is quite unusual. The G5 battle between the two sides started on the evening of May 13th at the "ATT Arena" in San Antonio. Both teams showed suffocating defensive intensity and presented a bayonet-worthy defensive battle to the fans at the scene. Everyone in the Lakers' starting lineup of O'Neal, Kobe, Fox, Malone, and Payton has good defensive skills, especially Payton and Malone These two have long been accustomed to the old-school basketball muscle collision method. It seems very comfortable in this environment. As for the Spurs, Duncan, Ginobili, Bowen, Horry and others are also very accustomed to playing in confrontation, especially Bowen. In this game, he used all his strength to pester Kobe. Don't want it. Actually, it¡¯s not that Kobe is afraid of Bowen¡¯s doggy defense, but that he must always pay attention to Bowen¡¯s little moves. He doesn¡¯t have a ¡°Copper Skin and Iron Bone Badge¡± on him. If he gets kicked, he¡¯ll be in trouble. The defensive intensity of both sides became stronger and stronger, and there were even conflicts on the spot several times, but they were all stopped in time by experienced referees. Whether it¡¯s David Stern or Mark Tatum, they are all well aware of Popovich¡¯s dirty coaching style, so they have already given special greetings to several referees on the scene. ¡°I guess they didn¡¯t expect this series to be so exciting. As long as the two teams don¡¯t fight on the court, everything will be fine. The Clippers' offensive power is very strong this season. They averaged 105.04 points per game in the regular season, ranking second in the league after the Mavericks. They averaged 98.39 points per game, ranking third from the bottom in the league. Only the Mavericks and Magic were worse than them. Fortunately, they can beat their opponents by an average of 6.65 points per game, which ranks second in the league, second only to the Spurs, who average a margin of 7.2 points per game. Some people say it¡¯s wrongAren¡¯t Wang Dalin and Artest members of the best defensive team? Why are the Clippers losing so many points per game? Wang Dalin and Artest's defense is indeed very good, but the Clippers take 81.9 shots per game, and their offensive and defensive rhythm ranks second in the league. How can their points per game not be high? In fact, adding up their three defensive statistics of backcourt rebounds, steals and blocks per game, we can get a number of 45.76 Unfortunately, it is still second only to the Spurs' 47.18, ranking second in the league! Therefore, the Clippers' defensive efficiency is not low at all, but is quite awesome! According to David Stern and Marco Tatum, regardless of which one advances, the Lakers or the Spurs, as long as the Clippers are there, the ratings for this season's Western Conference Finals will definitely be very high. After all, the Lakers had the last laugh in the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain". They narrowly defeated the Spurs 74:73. In fact, the Lakers won this game very thrillingly, because they were still 1 point behind the Spurs until 3.2 seconds before the game. At this time, all the attention of the audience and Spurs players were focused on Kobe, but even so, Kobe still forced a shot under Ginobili's personal defense and directly defeated the Spurs. Wang Dalin, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the game, was simply stunned Is there any difference between this goal and the one he made in 3.4 seconds to defeat the Heat in later generations? Uh there is a difference. After all, the person who is guarding Kobe is not Wade, but Ginobili! Even Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t help but admire his batting performance - he was truly worthy of Kobe, he was so strong! In fact, Kobe's performance in this game was not good. He only hit 11 goals in 27 shots, including 0 of 4 three-pointers, and only scored 22 points. On the other hand, "Deng Dadai" on the opposite side He made 7 of 15 shots from the field, plus 7 of 10 free throws, scoring 21 points, 21 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks. No matter how you look at it, Duncan was the best player in this game. Unfortunately, he lost to Kobe's buzzer beater in the end, so the most handsome guy in the game that night was still Kobewell, it's just that But this is San Antonio, and all he received was abuse and boos from the audience! The NBA is such a league of winners and losers! Even if you performed extremely poorly in the previous games, but at the most critical moment you stepped forward to save the team, then you are the hero of the team! And even if you are the whole person?Watch us advance to the finals! " "Uhso the harsh words can only be harsh words!" With Wang Dalin¡¯s IQ, how could he be so blindly confident? Don¡¯t look at the Lakers¡¯ record of only 57 wins and 25 losses in the regular season. That¡¯s because Malone has missed as many as 42 games, and O¡¯Neal has also missed 15 games due to an old toe injury. If these two guys can play at full attendance, who knows what kind of record they will achieve? I dare not say that it will break the Pistons' best record in history of 73 wins and 9 losses. Is it okay to at least win 62 games? All the players on the current Lakers team are very united, and not a single bad thing like the "Eagle County Incident" or "Malone seducing Kobe Bryant's wife" has happened. It is estimated that many fans will be curious If the Lakers "f4" can appear in the finals that year in the most ideal condition, can the Pistons still defeat them? Even Wang Dalin has to admit that the current Lakers team happens to be in the most ideal state. They are definitely the strongest opponent the Clippers will face in this year's playoffs! "If you want to sweep this united Lakers team, even the "Cosmic Warrior" who will defeat all the invincible opponents in the future will probably only sigh helplessly - "Your Majesty, I can't do it!" "Universal Brave" can't do it, and no team in history can do it. Wang Dalin just said a harsh word. In his opinion, if the Clippers can win this series, it is worth burning the candle. Sweep? Unless O¡¯Neal and Kobe Bryant break both legs directly (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 271 Meeting an opponent in chess If time could go over again, would Kobe and Wang Dalin have formed the "Death Special Training Camp" together with Wang Dalin last summer? Maybe Kobe himself doesn¡¯t know the answer! Last summer, they spent all day in the gym. Whether training individually or playing one-on-one, Wang Dalin learned too many skills from Kobe, and combined with his own better physical condition, he achieved the effect of being better than his predecessor. If Kobe hadn¡¯t been practicing hard with him every day this summer, how could he have improved so quickly? In a sense Kobe can even be called his teacher! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With ¡°Both Teachers and Friends¡± of course! So when Wang Dalin scored the ball again and again under Kobe's strong defense, I didn't know whether Kobe was happy or sad. Of course, Kobe will not be afraid of any challenges, let alone temporary success or failure He just hopes to surpass Jordan and become the best basketball player in the world. To achieve this goal, he has been struggling in the league for eight full seasons. Seeing that he is getting closer and closer to his ultimate goal, he did not expect that a more powerful opponent than Jordan would appear at this timethat is Wang Dalin! Therefore, Kobe in this life has changed his ultimate goal. He is no longer obsessed with surpassing Jordan, but changed it to "surpassing Wang Dalin"! If you want to surpass Jordan, you must win more championships, more MVPs, more FMVPs, scoring champions, best team, best defensive team This is almost impossible to accomplish. Target! How about surpassing Wang Dalin? ??At present, it seems that only 3 championships, 3 MVPs, 3 FMVPs, 3 scoring champions and some scattered personal honors are needed. Uhthe championship mentioned here refers to the championship won by leading the team as the boss, and the second boss does not count! So Kobe believes that the gap between himself and Wang Dalin is already very big. At the very least he has been the boss of the team since three years ago, but he is still only the second in command! How to surpass him? No matter what, O'Neal is still the boss of the Lakers Even though Kobe's performance has surpassed O'Neal this season, people generally still think that O'Neal is the boss of the Lakers. That¡¯s why Kobe went all out in the playoffs. He wanted everyone to see I am the strongest person on the Lakers! The G1 game of the Western Conference Finals has reached the last 1 minute and 29 seconds of the game. The score is 97:98. The Lakers are temporarily leading by 1 point, but the ball is in the hands of the Clippers. After Wang Dalin got the ball in the high post, Kobe immediately lowered his center of gravity and came up. Wang Dalin has already made 5 three-pointers in this game, two of which were made directly in front of Kobe, so Kobe was very close to him at this moment, leaving no room for him to take action. Wang Dalin lowered his center of gravity, but he just bent down to protect the ball by his side, stretched his head forward to resist Kobe, and did not bend his knees excessively This is to maintain a stronger shooting threat. If he bends his knees too much, his center of gravity can of course be lowered lower and he can start faster, but if he wants to pull out, he will be much slower. At this point in the game, the defensive intensity of both sides has risen to a suffocating level. How can there be any room for you to break through? Therefore, Wang Dalin had no intention of breaking through to the inside. He had made up his mind from the beginninghe would use a sudden stop jumper for this shot. As for whether to take one step or two steps, or rely on his body to escape from the side. If you head toward the free throw line, you'll have to adapt accordingly. Kobe was panting slightly, his arms swinging irregularly in front of Wang Dalin, always maintaining a vague defensive pressure. Wang Dalin suddenly raised his head and glanced at Artest's position on the right. Kobe involuntarily took a small step to the right. It was just a small step laterally, and he did not lose his defensive position because of it, but this was enough for Wang Dalin! I saw Wang Dalin suddenly start to break through to the left, taking a big step and throwing Kobe to his right rear, and then collecting the ball, he was about to make a jumper. Kobe flew forward without hesitation He knew that he could not block Wang Dalin's shot, he just wanted to interfere with him from the side and behind. But when he jumped into the air, he discovered that Wang Dalin just made a fake move of "worshiping to Buddha" He did not collect the ball! Wang Dalin pulled the ball to the right with a "Sam Gaude" and quickly?A round of overtime is no problem. The score is currently so stalemate that the Clippers players and senior Dunleavy are mentally prepared to play overtime. I guess this is what they were thinking Instead of ending the battle in regular time, it would be better to fight for physical strength in overtime! Regardless of whether this game can be won or not, as long as it goes into overtime, it will be a heavy blow to the Lakers. After all, there are three "physically challenged" in the Lakers' "F4". If it really plays overtime, Phil Jackson may have to withdraw Malone and Payton. Even O'Neal's stamina gauge has almost reached its bottom. If overtime is played, he may have negative effects on the court! ¡°Besides this is the best-of-seven Western Conference Finals. Even if the Lakers try their best to win this game, can a few "old men" in their thirties recover in a short time? What will they do next? For the Lakers players and Jackson, this game must end within regular time, otherwise they will be really passive. With 48 seconds left in the game, Wang Dalin once again held the ball to beat Kobe Bryant in singles. This game has reached the most critical moment. At this time, whether it is Wang Dalin or Kobe, it is impossible for them to hand over the ball again At the most critical moment, the battle can only be resolved by the strongest stars of both sides. ! Wang Dalin has already deceived Kobe Bryant once with a fake move just now. He knows that using the same move again will probably not have any effect, so this time he plans to use the safest offensive method that is, back-up play! Wang Dalin winked at Artest, who understood the situation and came over to set a pick-and-roll for him. Wang Dalin took the opportunity to dribble a big step toward the three-second zone, directly to the corner and dribble with his back. Kobe bypassed the screen and returned to Wang Dalin. He raised his arms and pushed his lower back hard, but his strength couldn't push Wang Dalin. Wang Dalin dribbled with his back and took a step forward 45 degrees to the left, then turned and leaned back. Kobe immediately raised his hand and jumped forward to interfere, but Wang Dalin was too tall and leaned back a lot, so his palm could not block Wang Dalin's line of sight. ¡°Well, the arms are still a little short If his arms were as long as Leonard¡¯s, they wouldn¡¯t be able to seal Wang Dalin¡¯s eyes. "Whoops!" This goal was scored cleanly, just like the 13 goals he scored before. ?? 101:100, the Clippers once again overtook the score by 1 point There are now 26 seconds left. Even if the Lakers' attack delays the time, the Clippers still have a chance to make a final attack. Of course, it is impossible for the Lakers to run out the time on this offense In case Kobe misses, they must leave themselves time to fight for offensive rebounds and make a second attack. Will Kobe miss? Later, some media conducted a survey, and the subjects of the survey were the head coaches of NBA teams. The question was like this - "When the game reaches the last few seconds and your team is still behind by 1 or 2 points , who would you choose to take the final shot?¡± Almost all head coaches chose Kobe because they firmly believe that Kobe has the strongest key ball ability in NBA history! These head coaches are not the keyboard warriors on the Internet. Their professionalism is certainly beyond doubt. In the original history, Kobe was the player who hit the most buzzer-beating shots in NBA history, but he also took the most buzzer-beating shots in history. In other words Kobe's game-winner efficiency is not the highest, he just dares to take the shot most at critical moments, and he can take the shot! You must know that the defensive intensity faced by the winning goal must be the highest. It is almost impossible for anyone to create a decent shooting space in this situation Being able to shoot is already very impressive, as for the shooting rate, it is second. . Kobe is exactly that person who is almost certain to be able to shoot. Even if there is no shooting space, he can force the shot against the defense! In this case, he can even maintain a certain shooting percentage, which is quite scary That's why those head coaches will unanimously choose him to perform the last shot. In a word No matter whether I can get in or not, at least I can get a chance! ????????????????????????????????? A shot taken in the last few seconds of the game is definitely different from a shot taken with a full shot left. With enough time, Kobe¡¯s offensive efficiency will not be as low as a buzzer-beater! So Wang Dalin worked hard and felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy Although the Clippers still have a chance to make a final attack, who knows if they can score? If they can prevent Kobe¡¯s attack, the Clippers will almost certainly win this game; If you fail to defend it, you will have no choice but to score the winning goal (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com)p; If they can prevent Kobe¡¯s attack, the Clippers will almost certainly win this game; If you fail to defend it, you will have no choice but to score the winning goal (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 272 Championship? Did I agree? Kobe Bryant lived up to expectations and once again scored a goal under Wang Dalin's full defense and successfully overtook the score. Since he did not run out the time, the Clippers had 4.3 seconds left, which was enough to complete the final attack. Old Dunleavy quickly called a timeout. In fact, everyone knows that the Clippers can't use any special tactics in the last attack. They just hand the ball to Wang Dalin to take action. What old Dunleavy has to do is to arrange for others to set up screens for Wang Dalin as much as possible to ensure that he can successfully receive the ball. As for whether Wang Dalin can score this buzzer-beaterit depends on whether God will give him face! The teammates still understand the huge pressure Wang Dalin has to bear, and they are all trying to relieve him. Artest smiled and said: "Darling, don't be nervous. It doesn't matter even if you can't get in. At worst, we will deal with them in the next game!" Wang Zhizhi also smiled and said: "Dalin, relax, don't put too much emphasis on the outcome of this game The series is a best-of-seven game, and even if we lose three games in a row, we still have a chance to come back!" Wang Dalin couldn't help but secretly complained: "Losing one game really doesn't matter. What's the difference between losing three games and losing the entire series? There has never been a comeback from 0:3 behind in the history of the NBA playoffs, even in 2021 The same is true If we really fall behind 0:3, we might as well just admit defeat!" In fact, Wang Dalin¡¯s current buzzer beater efficiency is quite high. As early as his rookie season, he made buzzer beaters more than once. ???????????????? But now and then no matter how high your shooting percentage is, you can't guarantee that you can hit such a difficult shot every time. There is a saying, among those who have made more than 15 buzzer-beating shots in NBA history, they can be called "super masters" if their hit rate exceeds 40%! For example, Kobe Throughout his career, including the game-winner and the key ball that dragged into overtime, he made a total of 51 of 170 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 30%. Some people will say "That's it? Just 30%. What qualifications does he have to be recognized by the fans and NBA head coaches as the strongest person to take the last shot?" In fact, Kobe's last shot often faced unimaginable defensive intensity, and he even had to force the shot against two or three people. There are indeed many these balls that have not been able to enter. But everyone who knows Kobe knows that when he forced his shot under such extremely difficult circumstances, his shooting action remained unchanged, and even if he didn't score, he didn't deviate too far. Anyone who has played football knows how difficult it is to take a shot in this situation. At the last moment of the game, when the opponent's defensive intensity is at its highest, being able to make reliable shots is a great skill! Some people will say - "Pass the ball? There's no rule that you can't pass the ball?" Yes, this is indeed the truth! But at this time, every additional pass will increase the possibility of a mistake. Therefore, in order to win the game or tie the score and drag it into overtime, superstars usually choose to play by themselves Only playing by themselves is the best. choose! Passing the winning ball to a teammate for a shot is not a selfless performance, but the most selfish performance! For example, when Jordan passed the ball to Cole in the 1997 Finals, what would people say if Cole missed the mid-range shot? "Look, it's that Cole, his bad shooting wasted Michael's entire game effort!" This is also the fundamental reason why LeBron James in the Cavaliers 1.0 period has been criticized for a long time. You are the star of the team, why do you have to "pass the blame" to the role players on the team for the last shot? How much money do you make every year? How much money does he earn every year? Why can¡¯t you shoulder the responsibilities you should shoulder? If you can¡¯t step forward when the team needs you most, then what qualifications do you have to be the leader of this team? Of course, Wang Dalin would not be so irresponsible, but he still encountered great difficulties after the timeout, because the Lakers directly asked Kobe Bryant and Fox to double-team him. For a moment, he was unable to catch the ball. difficulty. Faced with this situation, Wang Dalin broke away from the defense and shouted loudly: "Pass the lob to me!" It is actually very dangerous to pass a lob in this situation, but Wang Dalin has no other choice but to take the risk. The person responsible for serving the sideline ball is Wang Zhizhi. His passing skills are pretty good, and he is tall and has good passing vision. He passed the ball quite well. ? ?However, Mourning averaged only 21.1 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage was only 43.9%. No matter how you look at it, Mourning and O'Neal are not on the same level. The gap between the two is indeed a bit big. But the Clippers have no choice. Their strongest player at the fifth position is Mourning. Apart from him, Drobiak and Eli are at best cannon fodder to implement the "shark-killing tactic", while Wang Zhizhi is an outside shooter. A dexterous inside player, his physique is not enough to be used as a human shield. Besides, Wang Zhizhi can still play a certain role on the offensive end. It is obviously unwise to arrange him to face O'Neal. In the first two games, the Clippers' main opponent against O'Neal was of course Mourning, followed by Wang Dalin, followed by Drobiak and Eli both of them came up to draw fouls! This kind of arrangement can only be said to be quite satisfactory. There is definitely nothing wrong with it, but it also has no bright spots. If O'Neal's free throw shooting rate is as low as about 30%-35% and the Clippers are still unable to restrict him, it means that this defensive strategy is not very appropriate. After the team¡¯s training on May 22, Wang Dalin specifically discussed it with Old Dunleavy. After some earnest persuasion, Old Dunleavy finally agreed to let him serve as the team's starting center in the G3 game. Wang Dalin¡¯s move was not a whim, he had carefully considered it. After he comes to the fifth position, he will definitely do better than Mourning on the defensive end Even if Mourning is still in his peak period, Wang Dalin's interior defensive ability value of 93 is not necessarily lower than him, not to mention Mo Ning. Ning is old now? Secondly, as long as he holds the ball in the high post, the Lakers will definitely arrange Fox or Kobe to defend him. It is impossible for O'Neal to mark him out, so his offensive end is actually no different from before. At present, the problem that the Clippers most hope to solve is the two offensive strengths of O'Neal and Kobe. At this stage, Kobe is obviously more difficult to deal with, so the only way is to find a solution from O'Neal. As long as O'Neal is strangled to deathwell, there is no need to strangle him to death, as long as he can be restricted to a certain extent, the Clippers' chances of winning will be much greater. Even if Kobe can score 30 or 40 points every game, as long as O'Neal cannot provide stable output, the Lakers will probably be left in the cold. ¡­¡­ On May 22, the G1 game of the Eastern Conference Finals began. The Pacers defeated the Pistons 113:89 at home, showing extremely terrifying dominance on both offense and defense. In this campaign, six members of the Pacers team scored in double figures. Among them, Jermaine O'Neal scored 27 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, completely defeating the opponent Elton Brand. At the post-match press conference, Carlisle was in high spirits and was really domineering when answering reporters' questions. "I arranged the most suitable tactics for the players, and they executed them well, so we won this victory!" ¡°I am proud of my players. They have very high tactical literacy and professionalism, and everyone can complete their tasks well!¡± "I can definitely say this - we are the best team in the league this season!" "Championship? Haha, you have to know that I have led the team to win the championship in the past two years, why not this year?" "Haha, yes, that's what I mean we will definitely win the championship!" Early the next morning, Carlisle¡¯s declaration of victory detonated the entire North American sports world, and almost all media were reporting the news. Some reporters who were familiar with him even called Wang Dalin. They just wanted to ask Wang Dalin what he thought of Carlisle's remarks. "What can I say?" "Rick is a great head coach and he has proven that over the past two years. Do you have any questions about that?" "The Pacers are very strong. They have the best record in the league this season, and now they are leading the Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals. I think they are at least very likely to reach the finals!" "But if they want to win the championshipshouldn't they ask me first if I agree?" "Hahaha I'm sorry, Rick, as long as I enter the finals, you will have no chance!"

I am very sorry! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 273 Not good! Kobe is furious! On May 23, the G3 game between the Lakers and Clippers started at the Staples Center. The G3 and G4 games are the home court of the Clippers, but according to Wang Dalin, Lakers fans account for at least 60% of the entire arena, so the name of the home court is really a bit untrue. But now it is much better than during the regular season. At that time, whenever the Clippers faced the Lakers at home, the proportion of Lakers fans in the "Staples Center" could even be close to 90%. Wang Dalin is not very fond of the idea of ??home field advantage. Anyway, his performance at home and away is similar. Artest is not bad. His performance on the road is similar to that at home. He can basically maintain around 20 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. But the same cannot be said for other Clippers players. Their performance at home and away is likely to be very different Therefore, a team can be divided into core players and role players. In this game, Wang Dalin appeared as the starting center, which really caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers at the beginning of the game. First of all, the defensive endWang Dalin's defensive effect is definitely better than Mourning. It is not difficult for O'Neal to beat Mourning now, but it is not easy to beat Wang Dalin in the paint. The second is the offensive endWang Dalin's main attack method is naturally launched from the outside. How can O'Neal mark him? Compared with Mourning, Wang Dalin¡¯s offensive methods are much richer. Especially in terms of outside shooting, it is not an exaggeration for Wang Dalin to claim to be the best in history Well, at this stage, "elementary school students" and others have not yet come online, and he can indeed be arrogant for a few more seasons. Phil Jackson was a little caught off guard by the Clippers' change of formation at first, but he quickly reacted and quickly called a timeout to adjust his defensive tactics He arranged for Fox to specifically mark Wang Dalin on the outside. Wang Dalin Once inside, O'Neal switches defense. In fact, Jackson's defensive formation is a 1-3-1 zone defensea defensive forward is arranged on the outside to focus on the opponent's ace star, while a big center is on the inside to protect the frame, and the other three people roam flexibly. Wang Dalin had a smile on his face. He knew that the tactics he discussed with Old Dunleavy worked. It is true that Jackson's zone defense formation can indeed effectively protect O'Neal's shortcomings of being unable to mark the perimeter. With this move, even if they encounter strong opponents like the Spurs, Mavericks or Kings, they will not have obvious problems on the defensive end. loopholes. But the Clippers have Wang Dalin. He only needs a simple pick-and-roll to get rid of Fox's close press. He doesn't even need to force a break through the pick-and-roll. It's difficult for Fox to stop him from shooting in the mid-range. You must know that Wang Dalin's current speed and dribbling speed are as high as 89, and his acceleration ability has also reached 83. When he suddenly starts a breakthrough, it is really difficult for Fox to keep up with him No matter what, defending on the court The winner is always the one who makes the latest move, and will suffer some losses. Although the Kings and Spurs are strong, Duncan and Webber don't have the terrifying speed of Wang Dalin, so if they want to break through Fox, they can only rely on their bodies. The "old drivers" on the Mavericks side don't even have the physical strength. Gotta be able to beat Fox. And Wang Dalin¡¯s ability to deal cards from a high position is unmatched in the entire league. Even if he only deals cards from a high position at the top of the three-point arc, it is enough to give the Lakers a drink. So the Lakers¡¯ defensive strategy is okay against teams like the Spurs, Kings, and Mavericks, but it¡¯s not good enough against the Clippers. Jackson¡¯s face was full of sorrow. He didn¡¯t expect that the Clippers¡¯ change of formation could bring such big trouble to the Lakers. In his eagerness, it was difficult for him to come up with any countermeasures. Naturally, the Lakers quickly fell into a passive situation. At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers led the Lakers by 7 points 31:24. This was because the Lakers played well on the offensive end, otherwise they might have fallen behind by double digits. Although Kobe scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on a sudden outside shot in the first quarter, compared to Wang Dalin's 8 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, it was significantly lower. Moreover, Wang Dalin also sent 1 steal and 1 assist. Block shot. Uh let me say one more thing, his steals and blocks were all given to O'Neal! ãá minus z.com ãá. 牺如 9bzw.com 牺如。I have to say that in the first quarter, the Lakers who suffered the most frustration was O¡¯Neal. , he only hit 2 goals in 6 shots, and only made 1 of 4 free throws at the free throw line. His performance on the defensive end was also quite dismal, except for grabbing 2 backcourt rebounds. As the current "league's number one center", O'Neal's performance can only be described in one word crotch pull!?, but I believe there will not be too many supporters First of all, Jordan's "status in the world" is too stable, and James in later generations also has stronger personal honors. To put it bluntlyeven compared with "Magic" Earvin Johnson, it's not certain whether Kobe can beat him! But if you ask who is the most paranoid person in NBA history, everyone will probably name that name - Kobe Bryant! As the "number one paranoid" in the history of NBA, Kobe "pulled out the pass button" from his "operation panel" and entered singles mode directly at the beginning of the second half. Wang Dalin was obviously caught off guard, and he scored two goals in a row with behind-the-back jumpers. Fortunately, he reacted in time, randomly entered the offensive mode, and started a crazy battle with Kobe. This is not the first time that the two of them have scored against Biao in a game. Wang Dalin had the last laugh every time before, but this time Wang Dalin felt a lot of pressure because Kobe's offense was so fierce! After seven or eight rounds of competition, Wang Dalin actually fell at a disadvantage? At this moment, Wang Dalin dared to bet his own head Kobe was indeed furious tonight, and his state was even comparable to that night when he scored 81 points in a single game. Under Kobe¡¯s strong output, the Lakers caught up with the score bit by bit, and evened the score before the end of the third quarter! 牺如 kanzongyi.cc 牺如。 Wang Dalin¡¯s face was full of helplessnessHis The offensive efficiency was not low. In the third quarter, they made a total of 6 of 10 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws. They scored 17 points in a single quarter. Even if he is as strong as Wang Dalin, this performance is already going all out. But Kobe obviously performed better in this quarter. He made 9 of 13 shots in a single quarter, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He actually scored 26 points! Mihe z.com Mi. Moreover, O'Neal's condition also improved in this quarter. He grabbed 3 offensive rebounds in the Clippers penalty area and converted all three secondary offensive opportunities into points. The Clippers led by 12 points at the end of the first half, only to be wiped out by the Lakers in just one quarter. This is undoubtedly very frustrating. During the break, Wang Dalin deliberately touched Artest's head. He just hoped that "touching your head" would make Artest betterTonight the Clippers' second The performance of "Master" was obviously abnormal. After three quarters, he only scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and he didn't even get a steal!

(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 274 A decisive blow! See you again! After the timeout, it was the Clippers' possession. They were still 3 points behind. Wang Dalin knew that he had to score this goal, otherwise the game would almost be over in advance. At this critical moment, Kobe Bryant was of course keeping an eye on Wang Dalin, and Rick Fox, another top perimeter defender of the Lakers, was specially keeping an eye on Quentin Richardson who made two consecutive baskets in the fourth quarter. Three-pointers allowed the Clippers to keep clinging to the score. Artest's main way of scoring is still to hit the paint or make jump shots from mid-range. His three-point shooting is still not as stable as Quentin and Korver, so the main person on the Lakers guarding him is Karl Malone. . After Wang Dalin received the ball with his back on the right wing, he leaned back a little, felt Kobe's defensive position with his back, and then turned around suddenly and used the "Golden Rooster Independence". Kobe was obviously not expecting it. He originally thought Wang Dalin would dribble the ball twice, but he didn't expect Wang Dalin to turn around and lean back. His movements were incredibly fast. At this time, it was too late for Kobe to try to defend, so he could only watch helplessly as he shot the ball in his hand, and then turned around to see the basketball plunge into the basket, and a pleasing splash of water suddenly appeared on the white net. 101:102, the Clippers were still 1 point behind, and it was the Lakers' turn to attack. This time the Clippers did a very good job in perimeter defense. Kobe tried several times but was unable to break through Wang Dalin's defense, so he had to call O'Neal to pick and roll for him from the high post. O'Neal's performance on both offense and defense in this game was unsatisfactory, but he can still handle a pick-and-roll, especially with his huge body, the quality of the cover is absolutely excellent. Wang Dalin was firmly blocked and could only shout: "Switch defense!" Wang Zhizhi, who followed O'Neal to the high position, had already switched defenses and got in front of Kobe. Kobe couldn't help but frown slightly Wang Zhizhi's height was actually 214cm, and he didn't dare to try to force a shot in front of such a tall player. Sometimes Kobe is really reckless when he goes up, but he doesn't take the initiative to look for the ball, so he continues to dribble, and then uses O'Neal's screen to turn to his original position. Wang Dalin finally squeezed through O'Neal's blockage and saw Kobe dribbling back. He couldn't help but feel happy and raised his hand to grab it from his hand. "Snapped!" Wang Dalin succeeded in stealing the ball, dribbling towards the Lakers half court with striding strides. Kobe reacted a step slower after being intercepted. Even though he had chased back in time, he was still out of reach. Si minus 75zw¡¡z.com Si With a loud "clang", Wang Dalin performed a 180-degree reverse back dunk in the air. After landing, he looked up to the sky and roared, which immediately aroused bursts of screams from the home fans. ¡°Well, although there are only a few Clippers fans, there are still more than 6,000 people More than 6,000 people cheered and screamed together. Naturally, this formation cannot be underestimated. ?? 103:102, the Clippers are leading by 1 point There are 39 seconds left in the game. Under ideal conditions, both sides will have one offensive opportunity. Kobe was obviously a little anxious. He even stole Payton's "dribble guard" job. He passed the ball directly in the backcourt and dribbled quickly to the frontcourt. The situation is very delicate now. If the Lakers can't score this offense, the Clippers can dribble to delay time. But if the Lakers can score with this attack, it depends on whether the Clippers have the ability to score the winning goal. Kobe still called for screens, but this time he called Malone Compared to O'Neal, Malone had been playing pick-and-roll tactics all his life, and he was extremely familiar with this system. To put it more vulgarly Malone probably has the pick-and-roll gene flowing in his blood, and this routine has long been engraved in his bones. ??And what makes Malone better than O'Neal in the pick-and-roll is that he can make mid-range shots, while O'Neal can only go down to the basket. Kobe will be more comfortable in his personal attack and passing choices. But this time, Dalin did not follow Malone, but bypassed the screen and pounced directly on Kobe, who was holding the ball At this moment, he never believed that Kobe would pass the ball to Malone! This was undoubtedly a bold gamble, but Wang Dalin did not hesitate at all. He just wanted to bet that Kobe could not pass the ball. 牺如 99bxwx.com 牺如 The double team came so suddenly, but seemed so appropriate Kobe suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Under the double team of Wang Dalin and Artest, two members of the best defensive team, he immediately collected the ball and wanted to pass it to Teammates transition. But Wang Dalin and Ahformation, it is obvious that they are going to make a "starburst run". All the players on the Lakers focused their attention on Wang Dalin, because they knew that the ball would definitely be handed to him. But when Wang Zhizhi sent the ball, they were all shocked It turned out that Wang Zhizhi did not pass the ball to Wang Dalin, but to Artest! "What?" Kobe's eyes widened. He couldn't believe his eyes. Phil Jackson couldn¡¯t help but stand up, with an incredible expression on his face. ¡°Just now, he swore to the players that the Clippers would definitely give Wang Dalin the last chance to shoot, but reality immediately gave him a slap in the face. "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, who has led two different teams to win eight NBA championships, couldn't help but have deep doubts about himself at this moment. After Artest received the ball, there was no defensive player around him. He dribbled the ball very calmly and rushed into the three-point line before taking off and shooting the ball in his hand. When the basketball just left your hand, the timer above the backboard just reset to zerothe time is just right! The basketball didn¡¯t fly in the air for long, but in the eyes of the Lakers players, this basketball lasted almost a whole century, and finally "Whoosh!" The goal was scored! Artest killed the Lakers! ????????????????????????????????? Wang Dalin always feels that this scene is full of a sense of violation, maybe because this guy has also defeated other teams in the Lakers in the original time and space, right? The whole place suddenly exploded. The audience jumped to their feet, applauded, screamed and roared, as if they had won everything at this moment. Artest looked quite calm after he made the shot. He stood there and raised his right hand, making a muzzle gesture, looking cool and cool. But the good times didn¡¯t last long. His cool pose was ¡°broken¡± by his teammates within two seconds The Clippers players swarmed him, threw him to the ground and pinned him to the bottom. "Ahyou guysget up quicklyI am about to be crushed to death by you!" It wasn¡¯t until Artest screamed in the crowd that everyone slowly stood up and pulled him up. "Darling, thank you!" As expected, Artest is indeed so strong. He jumped into Wang Dalin's arms as soon as he got up from the ground. "Thank you very much for giving me the chance to make the last shot." I!" Yes, the opportunity to shoot this ball was indeed given to him by Wang Dalin! Originally, Dunleavy Sr. originally arranged for Wang Dalin to take the final shot, but Wang Dalin suggested letting Artest give it a try. Mihe z.com Mi His reason is also very good - "They must have thought that it was me who would catch the ball, and they certainly didn't expect that we would change our plan and let Ron catch the ball, so his chances of catching the ball must be greater than mine!" Old Dengleavy thought over and over again and adopted Wang Dalin¡¯s suggestion. It is estimated that this goal is not the kind of winning goal that determines life and death. Even if it does not score, it can still be played in overtime If the Clippers were lagging behind just now, even if Wang Dalin said it, old Dunleavy would definitely not agree. Let Artest take the final shot. This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading, there will be more exciting things to come! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com Chapter 275 Tianwangshan Massacre After the soul-stirring G3 game between the Lakers and Clippers, the winner was also decided in the G2 game of the Eastern Conference Finals on the evening of May 24. The Pacers continued their efforts and won another victory at home with a score of 90:69, a big score of 2: 0 ahead of the defending champion Pistons. This is a very typical defensive battle during this period. Both sides played a very suffocating defensive intensity. It is a pity that the Pistons showed nothing except defense, while the Pacers also performed very well on the offensive end. With a top defensive player in history like Ben, and one of the league's best defensive coaches in Larry Brown, the Pistons really lived up to their reputation. They worked hard on the defensive end throughout the game and couldn't wait to let them down. The opponent only scored 70 points in the game. But they seem to have overlooked one point If your opponent only gets 70 points, but you only get 69 points, isn't that still a loss? In this game, the entire Pacers team played brilliantly, especially Reggie Miller, who is about to turn 39. He used 5 heart-wrenching three-pointers to teach the Pistons a lesson. Hairy boy. The saying is indeed trueyour uncle is still your uncle! Although Miller's offensive efficiency was not very high throughout the game, he made 4 of 5 three-pointers in the third quarter, leading the team to a great start, which directly sealed the victory of the game. The most stable player on the Pacers side is of course Jermaine O'Neal. He made 8 of 17 shots from the field, plus 9 of 10 free throws. He scored 25 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, successfully defending himself. 's home field. On the other hand, when the Pistons were in a disadvantageous situation, Elton Brand, whom the team acquired in exchange for Wang Dalin last summer, was never able to step forward and only scored 9 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists in the entire game. The performance was extremely dismal. Even Ben and Hamilton, who have always been the most stable performers, were not much better. They were also in a sluggish state, and together they only scored 22 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks. ?? Let¡¯s not talk about the big picture. He has never been an excellent scorer. As long as he can defend and grab rebounds, he has completed the task. But Hamilton was the second-in-command of this championship team last year! He only made 4 of 15 shots in the game, including 0 of 5 three-pointers. Including free throws, he only scored 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists Is there any trace of the "emotionless killer" from before? ãá reduce 75¡¡z*wz*.co m ãá If the "Emotionless Killer" can only hit 26.7%, then it is conceivable that almost all of his chances to take action cannot be called a chance to take action they are all forced shots! Hamilton is like an assassin in an online game. He must use the attack method he is accustomed to in order to be invincible. You have to let him carry a big shield in one hand and a giant sword in the other to fight the enemy head-on. He also How did you just get through it? The result is obvious. After the game, all the fingers were pointed at the defending champion's head coach - Larry Brown! At the post-game press conference, faced with the reporters¡¯ verbal quarrels, Larry Brown showed a rare trace of panic on his face, but he was still making excuses for himself. "The Pacers played very well, I should congratulate them in a graceful manner!" "We didn't do a good job in many aspects, especially defense We have always done a good job in the regular season, but tonight we actually allowed our opponents to score 90 points. This is the most unacceptable point for me!" He said it in an understatement, as if the team's big defeat had nothing to do with him. But the last sentence is quite right, and it definitely expresses his true thoughts If we only allow our opponent to score 68 points, wouldn't we win? This season the Pistons can certainly call themselves the league's top defensive team. They conceded only 84.3 points per game in the regular season, ranking first in the league. But attentive fans may have discovered it a long time ago It is true that the Pistons defend well, but they can only average 90.1 points per game, which is 15.9 points worse than last season! It¡¯s still the same team, but because the original head coach left and a new head coach was replaced, the game immediately showed a completely different style of play. There is really no one left! It was on the morning of May 24th that a large number of Detroit fans came to the joint. They held up signs with the words "Larry Brown Get Out" and started a massive demonstration. They chanted slogans and walked through the streets and alleys. The marching crowd gathered more and more, reaching tens of thousands within an hour. Faced with such a situation, how could reporters remain silent? There are many fans who have been interviewed by Ji Ji, and they can hardly suppress their excitement. Almost all interviews are accompanied by various Detroit-specific swear words. &nWhen the score is 30+, the Lakers really rarely lose, and the same is true in this game. ãá reduce 75zwz.co¡¡m ãá The Lakers defeated the Clippers 109:102, finally leveling the score at 2:2. In fact, the Clippers played well in this game, especially Wang Dalin and Artest both performed very well. It is a pity that the opponent's performance was even better. Winning the G4 game was of course very happy for the Lakers. However, during training on May 25, Karl Malone's left knee developed swelling and pain. The team doctor directly told Phil Jackson "Tianwangshan" "Battle", Old Malone will definitely not be able to appear! This news broke out for some reason, and the whole of Los Angeles was in an uproar. The Lakers officials had no choice but to hold a press conference to confirm the news to everyone. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT? Judging from the previous four games, the strength of the two teams is already about the same, and it is difficult to predict who will lose and who will win. Now that the Lakers are missing Karl Malone, how can they beat the Clippers? Regardless of the fact that Malone's performance in the first four games was not very good, averaging only 10.5 points, 6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was only over 40%, but everyone knowshis role is definitely not based on statistics. fully embodied. Just like Sean Battier in the Rockets in later generations, or Draymond Green in the Warriors in the summer of 2015their statistics are not very eye-catching, but their roles are very crucial. Without Malone, Wang Dalin can attack the inside unscrupulously. If O'Neal comes to guard him, Mourning or Artest will inevitably be missed. Taking a step back, even if the Lakers can protect their inside line, what about Quentin, Korver and others on the outside line of the Clippers? If these two miss, it will be very scary They only need a few three-pointers to open the score to more than double digits. At present, the only person in the Lakers team who can fill Malone's vacancy is Stanislav Medvedenko. He was originally the team's first substitute center. It is not impossible to step up and partner with O'Neal in the twin towers. But this will cause a big problem for the Lakers' rotationThe immature Brian Cook and the aging Horace Grant cannot support the Lakers' substitute interior line. And Medvedenko is a typical meat shield center. Of course, his height and weight are no problem, but how can he keep up with Wang Dalin in his footwork? Don't look at his defensive efficiency as high as 102 this season, which means he only allows his opponents to score 102 points per 100 possessions. But that's because most of his opponents are their opponents' substitutes. If he really wants to be in the starting lineup, he will probably be beaten by Wang Dalin. It exploded to the point where not a single scum was left.
