Chapter 195 You will never try to reach the finals, I said it!
After a short break, the game continued.

Since the referee did not whistle for a foul on Knight, the Knicks still had the ball, and they got the chance to send the ball to the sideline.

The tall Knight stood outside the sideline and served the ball. The other four Knicks actively ran and screened for each other. Alan Houston finally received the ball by bypassing the screen.

"Snapped!"

Houston couldn't help but turn pale with fright... As soon as he received the ball, he was slapped on the ball by Wang Dalin. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the ball would have been lost.

"What a quick move!" Houston was terrified. After regaining control of the ball, he did not rush to dribble. He observed the situation and passed the ball to Charlie Ward on the other side.

There was a "pop"...it was Wang Dalin's long arm stretched out like lightning again!

As soon as the ball was shot, it was blocked by Wang Dalin, and then Wang Dalin dribbled the ball and launched a fast break. Houston and Ward were unable to catch up, and it was a one-handed dunk when Wang Dalin rushed into the basket.

"Clang!"

After landing, Wang Dalin didn't even look at the Knicks players, turned around and ran back to his own half.

People didn't see the expression on Wang Dalin's face when he ran back to his home halftime, but the camera on the scene 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 feeling a chill on their backs.

"Charles...I think...can we cancel our bet today?" Smith said with a look of shock on his face, "Forget me as the loser, it's really normal for the Knicks to lose by more than 30 points tonight!"

Barkley also said uncharacteristically: "Well... this kind of bet tonight has indeed lost its suspense. Even if I win, there is nothing to be happy about!"

With less than 3 minutes into the second quarter, even though the Knicks trailed by as much as 18 points, the two commentators of TNT announced in advance that there was no suspense in the game... and the Knicks lost by more than 30 points, which is a bit mysterious!
Perhaps this is the sixth sense that Smith and Barkley have developed over the years in the professional arena. When danger comes, they can sometimes foresee it in advance...just like tonight!
Their premonition was very correct. Wang Dalin really started to play a lot of singles with the ball. His breakthroughs, pull-up jump shots and various pull-ups were so unsolvable. No matter how hard Anderson tried his best on the defensive end, it would not help.

Coach Don Cheney called two timeouts in the second quarter. First, he replaced Clarence Witherspoon, who was stronger, to defend Wang Dalin, but the effect was still not good, because Wang Dalin could easily complete a pull-up jumper in front of Witherspoon just because of his height.

After the second timeout, Don Cheney finally let the players double-team Wang Dalin... Even if it was beyond the three-point line, as long as Wang Dalin received the ball, he would still double-team!
This trick really restricted Wang Dalin's personal offense, but Wang Dalin's passing skills were displayed again, and he sent 3 more assists in the second half of the second quarter.

Two of these 3 assists were given to Boozer who came off the bench... With Wang Dalin attracting the opponent's defensive attention, Boozer was wide open when he received the ball from the middle distance.

After the first half, the Pistons led 70:49 by 21 points... If the Knicks hadn't been supported by Alan Houston on the offensive end, the entire second half of this game might have been garbage time.

"Brother, how is your foot?"

During the intermission, Wang Dalin had just returned to the locker room, but he didn't see Daben, so he quickly called Daben.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry!" Da Ben's tone on the phone seemed very relaxed, "I have taken X-rays, and the doctor said that there is no structural damage, and I don't feel much pain myself, it should be a slight sprain!"

"That's good, you can rest at ease, I will beat the Knicks out of shit tonight!" Wang Dalin was still resentful in his words.

Da Ben laughed loudly and said, "Hey, fourth brother, I'm watching the live broadcast here. You beat them by 21 points in the first half. Enough is enough. There's no need to play like a dead man, right?"

Wang Dalin said coldly: "No, I have to let the Knicks know in this game that they shouldn't do such despicable things, and if they do... they must pay the price!"

Da Ben smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just watch your performance on TV... just win 30 points, don't make it too bloody, it's unnecessary!"

Wang Dalin didn't answer directly, but simply said: "Well, I know what to do!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Dalin rushed to Carlisle and said, "Coach, I want to play the full third quarter, so don't replace me, is that okay?"

Carlisle said with a look of embarrassment: "But, Darling, you must know that we are already ahead by a lot. The Knicks may replace all the main players at any time. At that time, it means that they have surrendered. You still have to stay on the court... Maybe it's not good?"

Wang Dalin's gaze was like a sword, and he said in an extremely affirmative tone: "Coach, I don't care if they surrender or not, anyway, I must play the full third quarter... They used despicable methods to sneak up on Big Brother, and I will make them pay the price. This is not a waste of time to play stats, and no one can say anything about me!"

Carlisle thought for a moment, then finally nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you, I won't replace you in the third quarter. But you must pay attention, in case the Knicks jump over the wall in a hurry, be careful of their tricks on you!"

Wang Dalin said coldly: "Don't worry, they can't plot against me!"

……

The third quarter finally started. Wang Dalin immediately entered the attack mode after he came on the court. He made two consecutive three-point shots and assisted Hamilton to make an open mid-range shot.

The morale of the Knicks was obviously low. Alan Houston, who was able to maintain a certain offensive efficiency in the first half, also misfired, and the other players couldn't score.

In an attack, Kurt Thomas managed to break through Boozer's defense and rushed to the basket with a one-handed dunk... But the dunk was missed, the basketball hit the inside of the basket and bounced high, and Okur, who had grabbed a favorable position, picked it off.

Okur directly connected with Wang Dalin with a long pass. After receiving the ball, Wang Dalin only dribbled. He took three big steps from beyond the three-point line and made a layup easily.

Thomas' missed dunk this time obviously made the morale of the Knicks players even lower. They were completely devoid of energy.

Wang Dalin didn't care about this. He was like a god possessed on the offensive end. Under the double-teaming of Witherspoon and Thomas, he made two extremely difficult back-up fadeaways.

Don Cheney's face was pale, and so were the faces of all the Knicks players... They had prepared for various situations before the game, including how to deal with Wang Dalin's sudden explosion.

But when Wang Dalin broke out with all his strength, they realized that all the preparations they had made seemed like a joke... It was useless at all, okay?

Throughout the third quarter, the Knicks relied on Thomas and Houston to support them, but in the face of the Pistons' offensive frenzy, they had nothing to do.

The Pistons seized the opportunity to play a wave. In the third quarter, they not only scored 31 points, but also allowed the Knicks to score only 10 points. The difference between the two sides further widened to 42 points.

101:59, this score looks too outrageous... The Knicks look completely different from the Pistons. They are like a high school team being brutally abused by an NBA team.

Wang Dalin was replaced in the last minute of the third quarter, and the opponent had replaced the full bench. Carlisle was really worried that he would stay on the court.

这场比赛他只上场打了31分钟，总共19投14中，其中三分球8投5中，罚球10投8中，砍下了41分11篮板10助攻的大号三双，还贡献出了2次抢断和2个盖帽，表现猛的一批。

The entire fourth quarter has become garbage time, but even in garbage time, the Pistons players are still full of momentum. They did not show mercy just because the opponent surrendered, but continued to expand the point difference between the two sides.

The strength of the Knicks' substitute players is limited, coupled with low morale, they are simply powerless, and the strength of these substitute players for the Pistons is not weak.

They took turns attacking the Knicks' basket, and even in the second half of the fourth quarter, Carlisle replaced Boozer, Williams, Barry and Jones with Battelle, White, Moore and Curry.

大巴的NBA首秀上场打了7分钟左右，他4投2中外加罚球2投2中，得到6分3篮板1助攻1盖帽，表现还真不错。

His performance is definitely better than Yao Ming's NBA debut.

On this night, Yao Ming came off the bench for the Warriors and played for about 17 minutes.

Obviously he has not yet adapted to the intensity of the NBA game, and the opponent is the Spurs, the Western Conference powerhouse last season.

Yao Ming's first game in the NBA will be against Duncan, one of the best insiders in the league. His performance on the court can be imagined.

In this game, he made 3 of 1 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He only scored 4 points and 4 rebounds. He had no assists, steals or blocks.

After this game, I believe that the American media will definitely make a big fuss about it. They will definitely describe Yao Ming as another "parallel import champion" after Kwame Brown... But Wang Dalin is very clear that their conclusions are too early, and they will soon be severely slapped in the face!

Or back to the Pistons, they defeated the Knicks with a score of 135:77 in the opening game. This bloody massacre also fascinated more than 22000 fans who watched the game at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

This game is also one of the most brutal games in the history of the Knicks!

之所以要加上“之一”这个词，是因为他们在1962年曾被锡拉丘兹民族队（76人队的前身）以162:100血洗过，那场比赛他们整整输了62分……比今晚这场“58惨案”还要更加凄惨！
This night, the Pistons not only gave the Knicks a disastrous defeat that could be recorded in team history, but also left a strong mark in their own team history records.

从1985年起，活塞队总共有15场比赛得到130分以上，其中只有5次超过了135分……135分也是活塞队史第六高的单场得分。

In this game, the Pistons made 38 of 21 three-pointers. Not only did they hit a super high percentage, but they also broke the record for the number of three-pointers made in the NBA regular season.

Before them, on December 1996, 12, in the Eagles' home game against the Mavericks, the Eagles took a total of 27 shots from beyond the arc and made 27 of them.

Being able to score 21 three-pointers in a game can be regarded as a good achievement in the small ball era of later generations. The shock brought to people in this era can be seen... They completely broke the world's understanding of three-pointers and basketball.

Maybe after this game, many players and even coaches will ask this question-"Is it true that three-pointers can't kill people?"

……

Wang Dalin and Carlisle attended the press conference after the game. The reporter from Detroit first asked Carlisle: "First of all, I must congratulate the Pistons for their big victory tonight. Secondly, I would like to ask Coach Rick, do you think Tyrese Knight deliberately stepped on Ben's foot?"

Carlisle was obviously very angry and said, "Only he knows if it was intentional, and I can only express my own opinion... Yes, I think he did it on purpose! At that time, the referee saw clearly from the side, but he didn't even call a foul. He was conniving at the players to commit crimes on the field!"

After a slight pause, Carlisle said still angrily: "I strongly condemn this unsportsmanlike behavior. The league should conduct an in-depth investigation into this matter. I think the Pistons will appeal this matter to the league later!"

Wang Dalin sat aside, he was a little surprised by Carlisle's reaction.

Based on his understanding of the league, no matter who you are, as long as you dare to bombard the referee, the league will issue a fine of at least [-] U.S. dollars. This is not a small number for Carlisle who needs to support his family.

At the beginning of last season, Carlisle was just a rookie head coach. Now he is the best coach of the new division, and he has the aura of a championship coach, so when his players encounter injustice, he is no longer willing to swallow his anger.

Maybe it's because he has been in contact with Carlisle for a long time, and Wang Dalin, a veteran fan, has gradually forgotten... In later generations, this champion coach who looks exactly like Kim Kelly has a very hot temper.

All in all, Carlisle is definitely not a coach with a refined coaching style. He is as tough and fearless as most NBA coaches.

A beautiful New York Times reporter raised her hand and asked, "Coach Rick, I want to ask if you are serious about the accusation against Tyrese just now? Do you really think he deliberately stepped on and hurt Ben?"

Carlisle said impatiently: "I think I have made it very clear just now... Yes, that's what I think!"

The beautiful reporter was a bit reluctant, and she continued to ask: "But as we all know, it is very normal to step on someone else's foot and cause a sprain in basketball. What reason do you have to speculate on a player like this? Don't you think your thoughts are a bit too dark?"

Before Carlisle could answer, Wang Dalin snatched the microphone and said angrily, "Ma'am, I don't mean to defend Coach Rick! In fact, I want to tell you very clearly that I also think Tyrese stepped on it on purpose! That's why everyone on the team is so angry... We won them by 58 points, you know, this is the punishment they deserve for their despicable behavior!"

The beautiful reporter was obviously shocked by Wang Dalin's words. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Darling, do you know what you're talking about? Do you know what kind of impact your words will have?"

Wang Dalin sneered: "I saw very clearly the scene where Tyrese stepped on my elder brother's foot, so of course I knew what I was talking about, but I didn't care what impact these words would have! Because I believe that no matter what the purpose is, a player should play well on the court instead of engaging in these crooked tricks!"

The more Wang Dalin spoke, the more angry he got, he stood up and said angrily, "I declare that the Knicks will be my enemy from today on! No matter when, and no matter which team I am in, as long as I am in the Eastern Conference, I guarantee that the Knicks will never reach the Finals...that's what I said!"

"Also, we still have three games to play against the Knicks this season!" Wang Dalin continued, "I promise they won't win a single game!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Dalin sat back on the chair and said into the microphone, "Next..."

The fans did not expect that the process of this game was already quite tragic. After all, the Knicks were slaughtered for a full 58 points.

But compared with what happened in the press conference after the game, the game itself seems to be unimportant.

Because of Wang Dalin's strong declaration, the Pistons and the Knicks are bound to become mortal enemies. When they meet each other on the court in the future, the two sides will definitely stage a fierce confrontation like sparks hitting the earth.

Wang Dalin must be responsible for what he said, and the Knicks general will definitely go all out to get Wang Dalin severely slapped in the face.

……

On November 11st, the Pistons will continue to host the Memphis Grizzlies (in fact, the Grizzlies moved from Vancouver to Memphis last season, so I must make a special note here). Ben is absent from this game, and it is estimated that it will take three or four days to return.

The defending champion's performance in the opening game was really brutal, and Wang Dalin scored a large triple-double of 40+ in three quarters, which was even more brutal. The coach and general of the Grizzlies kept a low profile in the pre-match 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.

灰熊队老大保罗.加索尔这场比赛12投8中，外加罚球6投5中，得到21分4篮板1助攻2盖帽，表现还算不错。

球队今年选来的5号秀德鲁.古登表现很出色，他全场15投9中，外加罚球3投3中，砍下了21分5篮板1助攻1盖帽。

If you only look at the performance of the rookie season, in fact, Gooden is definitely ranked in the top five rookies of this year, but his subsequent improvement is very small, basically that's it.

The Grizzlies played their own level normally, but the Pistons also played normally...so the final score was also normal, 86:109, the Pistons defeated the Grizzlies without bloodshed.

王大林又是只打了三节，全场15投8中，其中三分球6投4中，外加罚球6投5中，得到25分9篮板8助攻2盖帽1抢断。

Hamilton also scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, performing quite well.

还有麦金尼斯贡献出14分3篮板6助攻1抢断，罗宾逊11分5篮板2助攻，巴里10分4篮板1助攻，威廉姆斯10分3篮板2助攻。

The Pistons scored in double figures with 6 players. It is very normal to win this game. At the beginning of the season, they played a two-game winning streak, which made Wang Dalin and his teammates very happy, but who would have thought that this was just the beginning of their winning streak?
