Chapter 114 The nightclub is sworn brothers (today's third update)

The 2001-2002 season is destined to be recorded in NBA history.

Before the start of this season, the league promulgated four new rules, which are the legalization of zone defense, the three-second violation of penalty zone defense, the time for dribbling the ball in the frontcourt is reduced from 10 seconds to 8 seconds, and accidental physical contact by players during defense. Will not be considered a foul.

The last three points were basically taken for granted by the fans before Wang Dalin crossed. The second point was actually aimed at O’Neal. This giant insider was not only unstoppable on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.

Of course, this rule is also related to the first one. After the zone defense, there will be O'Neal under the basket. Will others be allowed to play?

The purpose of the latter two is very obvious, which is to enhance the speed of offensive and defensive transitions and physical confrontation, and enhance the enjoyment of the game.

However, in the small ball era of later generations, the NBA has changed from muscular bats under the basket to two-sided running and shooting... This obviously violated David Stern's original intention.

This season's preseason game was held as scheduled, and the Pistons' first opponent was the Bulls.

After a failed season, the Bulls sent away their leading star Elton Brand in the summer. The strength of the team did not increase but declined. Obviously, they will experience another failed season.

目前公牛队的当家球星是罗恩.莫塞尔，他上赛季场均数据是19.7分3.9篮板3.3助攻1.3抢断0.4盖帽，是一名表现很不错的锋卫摇摆人。

The "Second Master" is Ron Artest, who is very familiar to Chinese fans. This guy 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. He averaged 2 steals per game.

In addition, the performances of Brad Miller and Marcus Fizer are not bad, especially Miller averaged 25 points and 8.9 rebounds in about 7.4 minutes per game last season, showing a very good potential.

The Bulls selected Eddie Curry, a high school student with the fourth pick in the first round of the draft this year, and the team placed high expectations on this young center.

And the second-year Jamal Crawford is said to have improved a lot during this offseason and should assume a more important role in the team.

In addition, there is an experienced veteran like Charles Oakley in their team (not Charles Barkley), so the Bulls coaching staff and uniform staff believe that they are not invincible against the Pistons...Of course, this is just their own opinion.

……

At the start of the game, the Bulls' starting lineup was point guard Travis Best, shooting guard Trenton Hassel, small forward Ron Moser, power forward Ron Artest, and 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.

Big Ben jumped high at the jump ball and won the first down for the Pistons... Miller has always been a floor center in his youth and at the end of his career. Bounce has never been his strong point.

Billups took control of the ball steadily and crossed the half court. Facing Nestor's close defense, he didn't panic at all. He just turned around and pushed him away with his butt.

Nestor is 180cm tall and weighs only 83KG. How can he beat a powerful point guard like Billups?
During this period, there are only a few point guards in the league who can compete with Billups in terms of strength. Except for "bearded first generation" Baron Davis and "bass attack" Jason Kidd, he is really not afraid of any point guard in terms of strength.

Wang Dalin came up to cover him in a pick-and-roll at the right time, and Billups understood it. He accelerated to get rid of Best, and then made an emergency stop in the middle distance to shoot.The opponent, Miller, rushed out to defend, but he immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to Wang Dalin.

The passing of the ball 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.

"Shh!"

Wang Dalin made a hit in the mid-range shot and then celebrated with a high-five with Billups.

Billups smiled and said, "Third brother, is my pass comfortable?"

Wang Dalin showed an embarrassed smile and said: "Comfortable! Second brother's pass is awesome!"

Billups laughed loudly, and then said, "I'll pass you a more comfortable one later!"

Since the three of them chatted freely in the nightclub that night, they chatted more and more happily, and finally called on the spot on the spot.

I don't know what kind of madness Wang Dalin committed at that time, and he actually told them the allusion of "Taoyuan's marriage". Where have these two guys heard such a wonderful story?
After listening to the story, Billups exclaimed with thumbs up: "'Yijie Jinlan' is really cool, how about the three of us also come to worship?"

Daben immediately agreed when he heard the direct control: "That's right, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei engaged in a 'Taoyuan knot', let's imitate them, how about a 'nightclub knot' in this box? The teammates are all witnesses of our brothers!"

Nightclub sworn?

You two were invited by monkeys to tease me, right?
Wang Dalin didn't drink, how could he play tricks with them?

However, seeing their enthusiasm, he was too embarrassed to directly refuse, so he pointed to them and asked Robinson, "Clifford, do you think it's cool for the three of us to become brothers with different surnames?"

Robinson said with a smile: "This fact is so cool! I feel so honored to be able to witness such a great moment!"

Atkins, who heard a few people talking on the side, also came over and smiled: "Yes, I feel very honored too!"

Wang Dalin slandered in his heart: "It's an honor for you, you idiot? Why don't you look at this place? How can anyone worship in a nightclub?"

But Billups had finally gotten along better with them, and the matter had come to this point, how could Wang Dalin put on airs?

Therefore, the three of them took the ceiling of the box as the sky, the marble floor of the box as the ground, and the "Chivas Regal", "Budweiser" and various snacks on the table as tributes, and performed a ceremony of worship on the spot.

When taking the oath, Billups and Daben were very solemn... Both of them thought the oath of "not asking to be born in the same year, the same month, the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month, the same day" was very cool.Reciting such a cool oath naturally has to be accompanied by a cool expression!

After the oath was completed, the three brothers bowed down to each other. Wang Dalin was the youngest and became the third brother. Billups, who was born in 1976, became the second child. The eldest brother was born in 1974, naturally.

The eldest brother and the second brother who can become the team's head, these two guys laughed very happily.

……

Looking back, the Bulls were attacked by Moser with the ball, and he did not dare to take it lightly in the face of Wang Dalin's defense.You must know that although Wang Dalin's defensive performance last season was not at the level of a titan, he was quite satisfactory on the defensive end and rarely made mistakes.

Moser dribbled the ball left and right, but Wang Dalin's defensive position remained very stable. He didn't find a chance to break through, so he had to call the inside players to come out for pick-and-rolls.

Wang Dalin deftly bypassed Miller's cover, and Moser got into his arms. Wang Dalin had quick eyes and quick hands, and dropped the ball in his hand with a knife.

He was about to fight for the second spot, and saw a black and strong Bulls player jumping over like lightning, stole the ball away, and then made a fadeaway jumper directly in front of the free throw line... Unfortunately, it was ironed.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Artest?
I have to say that this guy is really good at steals, and his reaction speed is super fast, but his shooting skills are... a bit stretched.

Big Ben stuck the position and took off the rebound, and then passed it to Billups.

After Billups came to the frontcourt, he repeated his old tricks and made a pick-and-roll with Wang Dalin.

This time the Bulls paid great attention to Wang Dalin's running position and blocked Billups' passing line, but they didn't notice the other side...Hamilton quickly bypassed the screen, and immediately turned around for a jumper after receiving the ball, and the ball scored again.

In the third grade, Hamilton has gradually developed his famous skill in the league in the future, which is the catch and mid-range shot after running without the ball.

With this trick, Hamilton cast the All-Defensive Team member Kobe Bryant in the later generations and almost collapsed... It is too difficult to keep up with this guy's off-ball movement!

It is said that this guy's favorite sport is to run with his dog. After running, his dog was so tired that he almost belched on the spot, but he himself was still full of energy... When it comes to physical fitness, this guy is even better than the "Black Mamba"!

Last season, Hamilton has already made a name for himself with the Wizards, averaging 18.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, and shooting 43.8% from the field.

If it weren't for Stackhouse's scoring average of 29.8 points per game last season, the Wizards might not be willing to replace him with a young player with great potential like Hamilton.

For some people, no matter how good the data is, it will not help, because the NBA has "brush" in every period. Even if he is as strong as Westbrook, who has won the regular season MVP, he is just a stronger "brush".

And some people's statistics are not very good-looking, or they are relatively inferior compared with top players, but real experts know how precious such players are.

Obviously, Hamilton is this type of player.

His shooting percentage is not the top in the league, and his scoring average cannot be ranked among the top in the league, but his offensive efficiency is very high, and his average holding time per game is not even as good as many substitute players.

Hamilton not only has the strongest catch and shoot ability in the league, but also has quite good defensive skills, which is even more commendable.

In later generations, there was a player who was very similar to him, and that person was named Klay Thompson. The style of the two was almost the same, the only difference was that Thompson shot most of the three-pointers after receiving the ball, while Hamilton made most of his shots from mid-range.

In addition, their performance on the defensive end is above the standard, and of course "Tang Shen" is more active in defense.

The Pistons made steady hits on two consecutive offenses, and the Bulls were in a bit of a hurry for the second offense.

Moser singled out Wang Dalin with the ball, took advantage of his speed to throw him away by a position, and then took off for a layup before Daben had time to make up the defense...

"Snapped!"

Wang Dalin's "iron-blooded" and "brutal" chasing hat is worthy of being mixed with Mourning last season.

Moser's face was full of depression. His shot had already thrown Wang Dalin a distance away, but he blocked the layup. He could only sigh in his heart: "Why are there so many monsters in the league?"
