Chapter 138 CCTV Interview (Today's first update)
In the fourth quarter of the game, the situation of the Knicks was very serious.

Sprewell, Jackson and Camby played very hard and achieved good results for a time, chasing the point difference to only 6 points, but Wang Dalin, Hamilton and Billups continued to play exquisite cooperation, and at the end of the third quarter, the point difference was opened to 15 points again.

If Houston can recover its touch in the third quarter, it will be able to complement each other with its teammates, and the Knicks will not fall into such a passive situation.

But he just couldn't find the touch in this game... Maybe it's because Wang Dalin put too much pressure on him in defense, or maybe his own mentality has collapsed.

The score led by 15 points, but the Knicks did not disarm, so Carlisle still sent all the main players in the fourth quarter.

After playing for another 5 minutes, with Wang Dalin assisting Billups to hit a three-pointer again, the Pistons had already led by as much as 22 points. Jeff Van Gundy finally called a timeout and replaced all the main players.

The opponent had surrendered, and Carlisle also went down the slope to replace Wang Dalin and the others, and sent a bunch of bench players, even Gates Joseph and Damon Jones, who had never played since the regular season this season, were sent on 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 met Carlisle's requirements for him.

According to his style of play and physical condition, Carlisle asked him to reduce his weight to 140KG. This weight can maximize his low-post threat and allow him to move faster as much as possible.

This season O'Neal's weight has infinitely approached 150KG, which makes him more powerful in the low post, but it also puts more pressure on his knees, ankles and toes... Especially the toes, O'Neal's toes have always been injured.

So this season so far, O'Neal has averaged only 24.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.7 blocks per game.

This data is stronger than most of the inside 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 a big gap.

Moreover, Kobe, the second head of the Lakers team, is getting stronger and stronger this season. Many people in the outside world think that Kobe is the boss of this team, which makes O'Neal very unhappy.

……

Still talking about the game, the Pistons naturally won the game without bloodshed. The final score was 100:83. While winning five consecutive victories, it also ended the Knicks' winning streak.

After swallowing the ninth loss of the season, the New York fans' voices of "letting Van Gundy go" became louder. Wang Dalin knew that this guy should leave New York soon.

After completing the task of "Tit for Tat", Wang Dalin's CIC ability value limit was naturally raised to 99.And in this game, he not only allowed Houston to score only 14 points, but also spat out 35 A-level trash words in front of this guy.

Wang Dalin found it very enjoyable... In fact, talking trash is really addictive, otherwise how could NBA stars be so enthusiastic about it?
The Pistons did not have a game on December 12 and 2, and they had an away game against the Cavaliers on the night of the 3th. They had to return to their home court to face the Western SuperSonics back-to-back on the 4th, so Carlisle did not arrange team training. He felt that the players should be given a good rest under such circumstances.

Compared to the "magic fortune teller" Pat Riley, Wang Dalin thinks that Carlisle is much better... Not only is there no "devil training", but even when the schedule is denser, the team's regular training will be less.

In the past two days, Wang Dalin has not been idle. Apart from 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 paid special attention to it, and even asked Zhang Weiping for advice. After all, some words are not allowed to be broadcast in China... In fact, everyone knows it!
Zhang Weiping had a good impression of this young and straightforward guy, so he told him not to worry too much, just say what you want, just do as you like, anyway, it can be edited later.

At the beginning of the interview, the two first greeted the fans in China through the camera lens, and then immediately started a question 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 Dalin is very confident! So do you have any personal goals for this season?"

"The first is to be selected into the All-Star lineup. It seems that the hope should be very high. I have to thank the domestic fans for their strong support. Thank you for voting for me so enthusiastically!"

"anything else?"

"I am going to participate in the three-point shooting contest of the All-Star Weekend this season, and strive to win this championship!"

"Hehe, everyone knows that Dalin's three-point shooting is very accurate. Can you introduce to everyone how you practice three-point shooting?"

"How do you say this thing? I don't think there are any shortcuts in any sport, only through a lot of training... Of course, you must have this talent!"

"That's right, if any athlete wants to achieve good results, he must train hard... You have mentioned two goals just now, are there any others?"

"Well, I don't dare to think about other things for the time being. If I say that I hope to win the regular season MVP this season, the fans will definitely think that I am boasting, so I will not say it."

"But your current performance is very good, why don't you dare to think about it? I think you are very hopeful to fight for the MVP. Take a step back and say, even if you don't get the MVP... you should think about the best team, right?"

"Well, this is really possible, hahaha..."

The two chatted more and more happily, and Zhang Weiping gradually brought the topic to Wang Dalin's personal life: "You are playing alone in the United States, have you considered bringing your family over?"

"Well, my parents are in the catering business. They are used to it in Chongqing and have many regular customers. I guess they don't want to come to the United States!"

"Well, there is a question that may be a bit abrupt, I wonder if I can ask you?"

"Guide Zhang, you can just ask, if you can answer, I will answer, if you can't answer, you can just cut it out later?"

"Okay, I want to ask you... It should be said that domestic fans should also be very concerned about this issue. Do you have a girlfriend now?"

"Huh? Just this question?"

"Yeah, that's the question!"

"What's so abrupt? I'll just say it, no!"

"But as far as I know, when you played the men's basketball warm-up match in Shanghai in July this year, there was a very beautiful female fan who interacted with you. Is this true?"

"Hmm... where did you hear about this? Couldn't it be Daba, Lao Hu and the others who told you?"

"Hehe, don't worry about who told me, just tell me if there is such a thing?"

"no!"

"Isn't it? I heard that after you were injured that time, that female fan even went to the hospital to visit you!"

"no!"

"Really not?"

"Not really!"

……

As for Zhang Zilin, how could Wang Dalin admit it?

Even if the Internet is underdeveloped now, if Zhang Zilin is exposed, there are definitely not a few reporters she will face... How can she, a girl who is not yet 18 years old, be able to bear such pressure?

So after talking about this topic, Wang Dalin completely denied it, either "I don't know", or "No such thing", "No"...

As someone who has experienced it, Zhang Weiping certainly understands Wang Dalin's thoughts, seeing that he is unwilling to continue talking about this topic, so he simply leads the topic to other aspects.

"I heard that you and Pistons teammates Wallace and Billups became brothers with different surnames. Can you tell us about this?"

"Hehe, that's right, we are indeed sworn brothers, and we even held a sworn ceremony, and now our relationship is very good. Last time a guy had a conflict with me in a competition, and Da Ben helped me out too much, scaring the other party so much that he didn't even dare to lift his head!"

"Basically, he has performed very well in Dallas this season. Do you have any suggestions for him?"

"Well, in fact, I told him when I played in the Asian Championships. The main thing is to maintain confidence, don't be soft when you have to make a move, and you must perform well when you are on the court, so that you can gain a foothold in the NBA!"

"Now there are many fans and friends in China. They not only love to watch football, but also love to play. Do you have any suggestions on how to improve their football skills?"

"Director Zhang, talking about this in front of professionals like you, isn't it my fault?"

"Just tell me, I've been retired for so many years, and I'm too late to keep up with the development of basketball. Now you are No.1 in Chinese basketball, and you have received the most professional training in the world in the NBA. You are much better than an old man like me!"

"Well, let me just talk about it briefly! In fact, I think fans should not just practice those beautiful flowery tricks when they practice by themselves. Those movements are basically useless in regular games. My suggestion is to practice the basic skills well, whether it is dribbling, passing or shooting. Only by practicing solid basic skills can you really improve your strength!"

"Dalin's words are reasonable, and I hope domestic fans and friends can listen to them. Well, it's time for our exclusive interview to end today, let's say goodbye to the audience friends in front of the TV together!"

"Viewers and friends in front of the TV, see you next time!"

Overall, the atmosphere of this interview was quite good, and the two chatted very happily.

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 to play alone in the United States, so every time he meets his compatriots in China, he will be in a good mood and will take extra care of them.

……

On December 12th, the Pistons challenged the Cavaliers in an away game. Before the game, everyone felt that tonight's game was completely in hand, because the Cavaliers had 4 wins and 6 losses before, and they were almost the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

As the current number one in the Eastern Conference, the Pistons really have no reason to lose to such a team, and the outside media generally believe that there is no suspense about the result of this game.

But the NBA is like this. When you think you are sure of winning, the reality often gives you a slap in the face. This game is like this.

When the game ended, Wang Dalin looked up at the scoreboard on the big screen in astonishment, with the words "unbelievable" written all over his face.

88:104, the Pistons lost by a big score, and the loss was simply too ugly...
