Chapter 160 Can I, Buckley, Follow You? (Today's second update)

"Shh!"

Szczerbiak made a three-pointer from the outside, and Hamilton was completely thrown away by him this time. When he had completed his shot, Hamilton was still blocked two meters away!

"Great job!" Garnett and Szczerbiak high-fived to celebrate, he was so satisfied with this little brother.

In the original time and space, Szczerbiak will be selected to the All-Star team this season.

He averaged 18.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game this season. This kind of data performance is a bit unqualified, but the Timberwolves have a good record, and many coaches like him, a player who does not occupy the ball, so he was selected by the coaches of each team.

If his defense can be ranked first among the outside players in the league, maybe he is the one who is more like the "Tang God" of later generations. After all, his three-pointers are indeed much more accurate than Hamilton.

Looking back, Hamilton on the Pistons side also ran out of space and scored a goal, scoring in exactly the same way as Szczerbiak.

When Wang Dalin and Garnett came to the high position to support, the second scorers of the two teams began to show their strength. In the next few offenses, they frequently caught the ball and shot, and their shooting percentages were very good.

However, in comparison, Szczerbiak scored two three-pointers, and Hamilton all made mid-range shots, so after a few minutes, the Pistons' 5-point lead gradually disappeared.

"No, it's too bad to continue playing like this!" Wang Dalin made up his mind, and in the next attack, he suddenly made a step-back three-pointer after receiving the ball from a high position.

Garnett misjudged the ball. He thought that Wang Dalin would pass the ball to his teammates, so when Wang Dalin retreated beyond the three-point line, he did not step forward to defend in time, which was equivalent to giving Wang Dalin an open shot.

"Mine!" Garnett didn't shirk his responsibility, and told his teammates that the blame was his own.

Wang Dalin was running back, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard this sentence.

Isn't this too much like some people on the domestic field?

Someone once made a very interesting statistic - the behaviors you hate most on the field!
Among them are those who frequently make mistakes on the field and then shout "my" frequently, and the ranking is quite high... Well, I believe many friends have experienced it for themselves!
(Old Wang: I will never admit that I am this kind of person!)
Looking back, Garnett also returned one to Wang Dalin.

This time he made another "iron-blooded jumper". Wang Dalin tried his best to defend, but the interference was really limited. It just so happened that Garnett had a good touch tonight.

After throwing the ball, Garnett slammed his chest with his right hand, raised his head and let out a heart-piercing roar.

This roar... was completely drowned out by the boos of the home fans at the "Palace of Auburn Hills Arena", and did not cause any waves.

Wang Dalin was so embarrassed that he was about to commit cancer.

This is "The Roar of the Wolf King", right?

Is this considered an A-level star skill?
Can this thing really intimidate people... Can it also make people "slightly drop their status in a short period of time"?
The system is not a joke, is it?

At this moment, Wang Dalin suddenly felt that even if he could complete the task in this game, it seemed that the reward would not be so good.

The first quarter reached the transition stage, and the coaches of both sides began to frequently deploy troops.

The Pistons sent Williams, Damon Jones, Joan Barry and Alston, and the Timberwolves also replaced Trill Brandon, Philip Lopez, Lauren Woods and Sam Mitchell.

Before all the main players left the field, the Pistons were already 4 points behind. However, in the competition between the second teams of the two sides, the Pistons undoubtedly had the upper hand.

In contrast, the second team of the Pistons is obviously stronger. Williams at the level of "best sixth man" 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, Big Ben also took a break. The Pistons played with an all-substitute lineup, facing the second team of the Timberwolves still led by Joe Smith.

It has to be said that the No. 1995 pick in [-] is no longer at its 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 surpassed this season.

A few minutes before the second quarter, Carlisle gradually replaced Wang Dalin. Under his leadership, the Pistons played more vigorously, especially Jones and Barry made a three-pointer from the outside, and instantly opened the point difference to double digits.

Sanders called a timeout in time and replaced Garnett, but even if "Wolf King" came up, he could only restrain each other with Wang Dalin, and he had nothing to do if his teammates were not strong enough.

Seeing the poor performance of his teammates, Garnett was furious. After a single-handed drive to the basket to complete a dunk, the "Wolf King" hammered his chest again and let out a roar.

Wang Dalin only felt that at this moment Garnett was behaving like the second male protagonist in the island country anime, and he was still not affected at all, but Barry and Jones had changed a little, and seemed a little hesitant when it was time to make a move.

Looking at the teammates on the bench off the field, Wang Dalin seemed to have a little more serious expression on his face. Wang Dalin couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Fuck! This thing actually works?"

It may be that Wang Dalin's nerves are relatively large, or it may be that the star level of his teammates is relatively low. Anyway, only Wang Dalin in the Pistons has not been affected by the "Wolf King's Roar".

Now that his teammate's condition "slightly declined", Wang Dalin was obliged to take on the heavy responsibility of offense. He beat Garnett twice in a row. Although the process was not easy, he still scored a goal and fouled Garnett once.

Before standing on the free throw line, Wang Dalin said with a teasing smile: "Kevin, don't you think you are a failure? Ask yourself, have you really guarded against me tonight?"

Garnett said stubbornly: "Wait and see, I will show you some color later!"

To be blunt, Garnett is actually quite depressed... As Wang Dalin said, he really didn't have a successful defense against Wang Dalin tonight.

When the ball-handling ability and dribbling speed have been greatly improved, and the jumping ability, cutting dunk and other abilities have all been added by 10 points, Wang Dalin's offensive methods are much richer than before. It is really difficult for the opponent to restrict him.

After making a free throw, Wang Dalin's personal score in this game has quietly reached 11 points.

Once upon a time, his scoring average per game was not much higher than this number, and now he can score easily with just a little effort... It can be said that as long as his touch is online, it is normal to score [-] or [-] points in a single game!

Garnett also started to attack in the second quarter, which is also the tactical arrangement of Coach Sanders.

Compared with others, the Timberwolves' most sure offensive point is obviously Garnett. If he does not release his offensive firepower, the Timberwolves may not be able to withstand it.

That's right, after Wang Dalin began to focus on personal offense, the Timberwolves quickly adjusted their defensive strategy. They focused more on Wang Dalin, so that the rest of the Pistons would naturally have more opportunities.

Wang Dalin is currently one of the best passing big players in the league. His average assists per game this season is lower than Garnett's, which doesn't mean that his coping ability is inferior to Garnett's, but because he puts more energy into his personal offense... If you really want to feel at ease and create opportunities for your teammates, Wang Dalin is no weaker than Garnett!

In the second half of the second quarter, all the main players of the two teams returned to the court, and the offensive efficiency of both teams dropped a little.

Especially Big Ben on the Pistons side, he completely made Nesterovic invisible inside, and he grabbed 2 offensive rebounds in the second quarter, so angry that Sanders wanted to replace this idiot immediately... But he didn't dare to do this, because the level of the other centers on the team was even worse.

After halftime, the two sides played at 54:47, with the Pistons leading by 7 points.

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves played a wave of offensive climax. Garnett, Szczerbiak and Brandon successfully attacked consecutively, and once overtook the score by as much as 4 points.

After Sanders put Brandon in charge again, although the Timberwolves' outside defensive strength has declined, their offensive firepower has obviously risen to a higher level. This guy is indeed a master of assists.

In the fourth quarter, Wang Dalin immediately turned on the "killing god mode". He scored 12 points from inside and outside shots and free throws, and Billups also bullied Brandon severely by virtue of his height and strength. Therefore, despite the best efforts of Garnett and Szczerbiak on the Timberwolves side, the counterattack still had little effect.

In the final stage of the game, the Timberwolves even adopted the "shark-cutting tactic", fouling Big himself continuously and sending him to the free throw line, but Big Ben miraculously made 8 of 6 free throws, completely defeating Sanders' trick.

Did Big Ben suddenly practice free throws?
Of course not, it's just that he's lucky tonight, after all... Who doesn't eat dumplings during Chinese New Year? Didn't O'Neill also have a time when he was very accurate in free throws?

In the end, the Pistons beat the Timberwolves 104:92 at home and successfully won four consecutive victories.

这场比赛加内特全场15投8中，其中三分球3投1中，外加罚球8投6中，拿到了23分10篮板6助攻1抢断和2盖帽，基本上跟他本赛季的场均数据持平。

斯泽比亚克全场18投9中，其中三分球5投2中，外加罚球6投6中，砍下26分5篮板4助攻1抢断，表现已经相当出色。

乔.史密斯10投4中外加罚球6投5中，拿到13分4篮板3助攻……他在进攻端的表现还算马马虎虎，可是篮板球实在抢得太少了！

This is also normal, because Big Ben can be said to have completely dominated the rebounds in this game. He grabbed a total of 19 rebounds, including 8 offensive rebounds!
Billups scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. This is completely a basic operation for him. If he plays more actively, he has every chance to score 20 points.

Hamilton scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, which is also a basic operation for him. This season, his scoring average finally broke through the 20-point mark, which is a significant improvement from his average of 18.1 points per game last season.

Of course, the "brightest boy in the palace of Auburn Hills" this night is of course Wang Dalin. He made 19 of 11 shots, including 7 of 3 three-pointers and 9 of 7 free throws. He scored 32 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

There is one thing to say, if this task requires him to surpass Garnett in all five statistics, then he will not be able to complete it. Generally speaking, Garnett is still slightly better than him in terms of comprehensiveness of personal skills.

However, Wang Dalin was a bit disdainful of this reward. It was really a shame to let him beat his chest and scream like Garnett on the court... It is really shameful!

"Hey, let's keep it for now, as long as you don't use it in the game anyway." Wang Dalin saw that this skill was added to his ability value page, and he could only shake his head and accept it silently.

……

At the end of the game, Barkley said triumphantly in the TNT live broadcast room: "Kenny, how is it? My prediction is right?"

Smith was a little depressed, and asked casually, "How do you know that Darling-Wang will definitely defeat Kevin?"

Barkley said with a smile: "Because he is Darling-King, isn't that enough? You just listen to me. From now on, as long as the Pistons games are broadcast live, no matter who the opponent is, you will stand on the side of the Pistons just like me. I guarantee that you will never lose again!"

Smith laughed teasingly: "Isn't it? Charles, when did you become such a sycophant? Are you so optimistic about Darling-King?"

Barkley said with a smile: "Whatever you say, anyway, I am optimistic about him, you count yourself, since I started betting on Darling-Wang, have you ever bet against me?"

Smith flashed the championship ring on his right ring finger and said with a smile: "I won once!"

"That's not important!" Barkley said firmly, "Since then, you have won me this time, am I right?"

"That's right!" Smith laughed. "You are so optimistic about Darling-Wang, why don't you just come back and join the Pistons, and follow him to win a championship?"

"A championship?" Barkley laughed loudly. "Who am I? I am the 'Great Sir Charles', the 1992-1993 regular season MVP, 5 best first team and 5 best second team members, one of the 50 NBA superstars... Do you think a great star like me can only follow Darling Wang to become a championship?"

Smith smiled and said, "Charles, save yourself. I admit that you were very good back then, but you don't look at how fat you are now. Have you weighed yourself recently? I'm afraid it's already 350 pounds?"

"Who said I'm 350 pounds? I'm obviously only 315 pounds!" Barkley insisted, "As long as I want, I can clean up most of the young people in the league at any time, do you believe it?"

"Charles, stop bragging. I'm not going to say something nice. Even if you announce your comeback now, no general manager of any team will be willing to give you a contract. Trust me!" Smith waved his hand, "Be sober, don't go and get yourself humiliated, okay?"

Barkley said angrily, "How about we make a bet?"

"What are you gambling?"

"Just bet on whether any team will want me... No, just bet on whether the Pistons will want me, do you dare to bet?"

"What dare I not bet? If the Pistons don't want you, you can give me back my other championship ring. Do you dare?"

"What's so difficult? It's a gamble! Let's swear by high five!"

"Wait, I was almost fooled by you... You just said that you bet on whether the Pistons want you, but there must be a deadline for this kind of thing. If the Pistons refuse to sign you for a few months, wouldn't you be fooled by you this season?"

"Time limit? Okay, let's set it for half a month. If the Pistons don't sign a contract with me before the 7th of next month, I will lose. If they do, I will win. How?"

"Also, you can't ask the Pistons to sign a 10-day short contract just to get away with it. The contract will at least end at the end of this season. Do you still dare to bet with me?"

"Fuck, you're ruthless... Forget it, I'll bet you that the 'great Sir Charles' will never be afraid of you, a role player who followed Hakim to the championship!"

"Okay, there's something... Come on, let's high-five and swear, and the audience in front of the TV will be a witness for us!"

"Come on, give me a high five!"

"Snapped……"

……

Wang Dalin really didn't expect Barkley to make such a bet with Smith, and the bet itself already involved him. After all, Barkley clearly stated the team he wanted to join.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to hug Wang Dalin's thigh, but Wang Dalin felt... his thigh didn't seem very thick, right?
If you want to hug your thigh, why don't you report to Duncan or O'Neal?
These two are the thickest thighs in the league at this stage, right?

However, Barkley took the initiative to fly from New York to Detroit on the morning of January 1, just to meet him, which made him unable to refuse.

He is one of the NBA's 50 superstars anyway, and he will be a member of the Hall of Fame in the future... Everyone is pointing at the basketball for a living, not looking up and looking down. Barkley is still so supportive of you. Even if everyone knows that he is a treasure, but if you don't even see each other, it would be too unreasonable, right?

Wang Dalin met Buckley at his home, and the two sat on chairs basking in the sun in the courtyard of the villa, feeling very comfortable.

Wang Dalin made a cup of strong tea for Barkley, a guest who came from afar. This tea was specially sent to him by Su Qun not long ago.

Premium jasmine tea is expensive, probably worth a month's salary of Su Qun's... Of course, Su Qun doesn't live by that salary, the fee for his random articles is higher than his monthly salary.

Buckley enjoyed the tea with an expression of enjoyment. It seems that he has no objection to this pure Chinese taste without sugar or milk.

Since Wang Dalin came to the United States, he has drunk all kinds of tea, but no matter where he drinks it, people will add sugar or milk to make a good cup of tea nondescript... These Yankees, when drinking coffee, many people like to drink the original bitter coffee, but when drinking tea, they don't know how to taste the real taste of tea!
Looking at Wang Dalin's young and energetic face, Buckley felt infinite envy... If I could be more than ten years younger, how great would it be?

"Charles, you came to see me, you don't really want to join the Pistons, do you?" After the two exchanged some pleasantries, Wang Dalin finally brought the topic to the key point.

"Darling, to be honest, I really regret making this bet with Kenny now!" Buckley said with a bit of a wry smile, "But the bet has already been made, and the bet was made under the witness of TV audiences across the country, what else can I do?"

"Brother, why don't you give Kenny a soft blow? Even if you lose, doesn't that championship ring belong to him in the first place? It's no big deal if you give it back to him, right?"

"Hmph! As long as I, Sir Charles, am betting, I can never admit defeat directly. Even Michael at the gambling table, I have never convinced him. Kenny Smith wants me to admit defeat, daydreaming!"

"But... why did you come to me? Shouldn't you go directly to Joe? He is the general manager of our team, okay?"

"Hey... I didn't have a good relationship with the Pistons back then, and you should know that. Back then, I had a fight with Bill, and I beat him until his face was bleeding, so I don't think Joe can sell me this face... But, if you are willing to help me, I think Joe will definitely give you some face!"

"is it?"

"Believe me, for your sake, Joe will definitely sign a contract with me. At least a 10-day short contract will be fine, right?"

"10-day short contract?...Brother, is this what you're after? Isn't your bet stipulated that 10-day short contracts are not allowed?"

"I also want to sign for a season, but you also know... I have been retired for a long time, look how fat I am now, how can Joe sign a contract with me for a season?"

"Don't worry about this, just tell me, if the Pistons are willing to sign you a contract until the end of this season, can you promise to reduce your weight to less than 260 pounds before the playoffs?"

"I...I...I swear, I will definitely lose my weight to less than 260 pounds before the playoffs!"

"Okay, I'll call Joe right now, and you go to see him with me!"

……

In fact, Wang Dalin and Barkley didn't know it. Just last night, when Barkley and Smith made a bet on the national live broadcast, Dumars had already watched this scene sitting in front of the TV.

Dumars was a little dismissive of this at first, thinking that people like Barkley really dared to bet on anything.

But after thinking about it, if the Pistons really signed Barkley, a fat guy...it would be pretty good, right?
