    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
