Chapter 200 Christmas War - Wang Dalin VS Maidi

After the away game against the Nets on December 12, Carlisle announced that no training will be arranged for the next three days, and everyone can take a good rest.

Firstly, it was because they had played back-to-back three times in the last seven games, and everyone was exhausted, so they really needed to take a good rest.

Secondly, it is also because the Pistons played really well this season. This wave of 26 consecutive victories, apart from the 33 consecutive victories of the Lakers back then, I want to ask... who else?

After such a winning streak, the nerves of all the players of the Pistons were too tense, and even the members of the coaching staff were extremely nervous. If they didn't take a good rest, they might suddenly collapse at some point.

The next game is an away game against the Magic on December 12. The players only need to gather together and fly to Orlando on the evening of December 25.

Carlisle plans to fly the team to Orlando on the night of December 12, resume training for two and a half hours on the morning of December 24, and play games in the evening... This arrangement is very reasonable.

The players were of course very happy to be able to rest for three consecutive days, but Wang Dalin felt that this was clearly because Carlisle wanted to go home to accompany his wife Donna and his beloved dog.

Don't look at Carlisle's serious face, in fact, this guy is quite humorous, but only the most familiar people know this side of him.

Daben and Hamilton have their own arrangements, Wang Dalin discussed with the bus, and they decided to take advantage of the break to go to Sacramento to meet Yao Ming.

Moreover, Wang Dalin hasn't seen "Second Brother" Billups for several months, and he really misses him a little, so this time we can get together.

The reason to fly to Sacramento is because the Warriors will be there to challenge the Kings on the night of December 12nd.

Yao Ming experienced a slump at the beginning of the season, and now his performance is getting better and better. Now he can average 12.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.8 blocks per game, shooting 57.7% from the field and 78.6% from the free throw.

如果只看12月的表现，姚铭场均已经可以砍下17.5分11.7篮板1.9助攻2.5盖帽，在今年这批新秀中绝对是表现最好的那一个！
截止到现在，姚铭出场的26场比赛中已经砍下过9次两双，其中11月30日姚铭在对阵掘金队的比赛中12投10中砍下30分16篮板2盖帽，那一晚他在禁区的统治力就好像奥尼尔一样。

On that night, Wang Dalin remembered that Billups made a special call to him.

On the phone, "Second Brother" laughed like a child. He told Wang Dalin that the goal of the Warriors this season is at least the second round of the playoffs.

You must know that the Warriors were still at the bottom of the Western Conference last season. Just selecting Yao Ming and introducing Billups can give them such ambitions... It can be seen that there are too many people in the NBA who like blind confidence!
But now this Warriors team is indeed full of talent.

At present, Yao Ming has secured the starting center position, plus starting point guard Chauncey Billups, starting shooting guard Jason Richardson and starting small forward Antawn Jamison... the second round of the playoffs is really not a dream!
Sacramento is located in central California and the Sacramento River Basin. It is the county seat of Sacramento County and the state capital of California.

The city developed from a population distribution center during the gold rush in the mid-19th century. After the gold mines were exhausted, it continued to prosper as an agricultural product trade center. The economy was based on food processing, agriculture, animal husbandry, and high-tech manufacturing.

Compared with Detroit, the largest industrial city in the United States, Sacramento is undoubtedly much smaller, with a population of just over 48, about half of Detroit's.

On the morning of December 12, after Wang Dalin and the bus arrived in Sacramento, they first went to the hotel to put away the salute, and then found a nearby restaurant for lunch.

After lunch, they went to the ticket office to buy two front volleyball tickets that night... I have to say, the football market in Sacramento is really hot, and the two of them spent thousands of dollars for these two tickets.

Since last season's seven-game battle with the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, the Kings' market has been very hot, and even a championship team like the Pistons...their ticket prices are not as good as the Kings!
In the afternoon, they came to Sacramento's most popular scenic spot "Old Street of Sacramento", where wooden houses, steam trains, gold panning machines, etc. from more than 150 years ago are preserved here. It has a typical western cowboy flavor and is a must-see for tourists.

There are also the Romanesque "Corinthia State Capitol Building" in the city park, the "Crocker Art Museum" and "Sutter Fort"...especially the museum with Indian and pioneer relics in "Sutter Fort".

Although Wang Dalin has been in the United States for more than two years, he has been focusing on basketball. Basically, the arena and his home are two-point line. During the offseason, he has to shoot commercials and participate in various activities. He has never traveled around the United States.

Compared with Wang Dalin, Bateer's travel experience is obviously much richer. He carries a SLR camera with him and takes pictures wherever he goes. He also takes Wang Dalin to eat a lot of local snacks in Sacramento.

Came to the "ARCO arena" at night, they first went to the visiting team's locker room to show their faces.

Seeing them suddenly, the Warriors players and coaches were all taken aback. Billups was surprised and asked: "Have you bought your tickets? Shall I go to the home team and ask for two front-row tickets?"

Wang Dalin took out the tickets and shook them: "I bought them a long time ago. The bus and I are here to cheer you on tonight. You have to play hard!"

Patel also patted Yao Ming's shoulder and smiled, "Xiao Yao, you are doing well. You have secured the main position so quickly. I have been in the Pistons for so long and I am still a soy saucer!"

Yao Ming said very modestly: "Actually, I didn't do anything. It's because my teammates are willing to help me. Everyone is willing to pass the ball to me!"

Billups laughed and said, "Yao, don't be humble. If you don't have the strength, it's useless for us to help you!"

Jamison also nodded and said, "That's right, Yao, you're an excellent center forward. I'm really happy to play with you!"

Richardson also echoed: "It's just... Yao, it's so comfortable to play with you!"

Yao Ming laughed and said, "Everyone, don't be so sensational, okay? We still have to play a game later, don't make everyone cry when we go on stage, the audience will think we are a bunch of softies when they see it!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Wang Dalin could tell that Yao Ming really got along with his teammates, and they got along very well.

Chairman Yao is really good at getting along with his teammates, no matter where he is... In the original time and space, he got along very well with his teammates in Houston.

……

Tonight's game started as scheduled.

The Kings' Chris Webber launched a fierce attack at the beginning of the game. His strong attack at the basket made Jamison's defense useless. Yao Ming quickly switched defenses with Jamison.

Under Yao Ming's defense, Weber's attack at the basket was blocked, and he was forced to shoot from the middle distance, and his offensive efficiency dropped sharply.

When the team was facing difficulties, Billups stepped forward and started the offensive mode. He almost crushed Mike Bibby in the one-on-one outside. When the Kings focused their defense on him, he activated Yao Ming with an exquisite pass.

面对身高226CM的姚铭，国王队这边不论是迪瓦茨还是韦伯都无可奈何，姚铭第一节火力全开，单节就7投4中砍下了10分4篮板2盖帽。

幸好韦伯在首节9投5中砍下10分6篮板2盖帽，还有佩贾5投3中拿下7分1篮板1助攻，两队在场面上始终保持势均力敌。

In the second quarter, the fight between the two sides became even more intense. Yao Ming even staged a Rodman-style flying save, which really scared Wang Dalin a lot... Damn it!Chairman Yao, can you take it easy?Don't hurt yourself?
Fortunately, Yao Ming's fall was not serious, on the contrary, it aroused the fighting spirit of his teammates even more.

In the second half of the second quarter, Jamison broke out suddenly. He scored 7 points and 5 rebound on 10 of 1 shots in a single quarter. He was the hero who led the Warriors at the end of the first half.

In the third quarter, Webber and Peja continued to play efficiently, and Bibby occasionally played a bright performance. The Kings finally showed their strong strength in the Western Conference and overtook the score in one fell swoop.

Just in the second half of this quarter, Billups suddenly hit two consecutive three-pointers from beyond the three-point line. The Warriors players were inspired by him, and once again hit a small climax, successfully suppressing the Kings' offensive momentum.

In the fourth quarter, the game entered a feverish stage. Yao Ming succeeded in singles in the interior one after another, and Peja from the Kings also made a three-point shot. Neither side could prevent the other from scoring.

At the last moment of the battle, the Kings led by 103 points 101:2, and the Warriors had a chance to win or tie. Unfortunately, Yao Ming's last shot missed the basket, and the Warriors lost regrettably.

At the moment when the game ended, Wang Dalin could clearly see the unwillingness on Yao Ming's face.

There is no way around this, because when you enjoy the joy of victory, someone must be tasting the bitter fruit of failure... This is the NBA, this is basketball!

Yao Ming attended the press conference after the game.

Although he scored 24 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks in this game, his performance can be said to be very good, but at the last minute he failed to score the ball that equalized the score, which still made him look annoyed.

No matter in the Asian Championships, the World Championships or the CBA League before, he has made such a goal... It's a pity that he missed it this time!
Billups, Wang Dalin, Battelle and Yao Ming just got together that night, and they flew directly to Oakland the next morning. Since they were going to have a party, they would be more comfortable at home.

What's more, Billups had been wanting to see Wang Dalin's culinary skills for a long time, and this fellow came to his door on his own initiative. How could there be any reason to let him go?
Wang Dalin took Bateer to the supermarket for a big purchase. He bought several large bags of ingredients, as well as chili, pepper and other condiments. He wanted to cook a table of authentic mountain city delicacies for his brothers.

Yao Ming hadn't eaten Chinese food for a long time, and he had a very happy meal, but it was "painful and happy".

As a native of Shanghai, he really couldn't bear to eat the authentic mountain city food cooked by Wang Dalin...it was too spicy!
When old friends meet, of course they have to have a drink or two.

Billups took out his own collection of "Moutai" to entertain them... These bottles of wine were given to him by Wang Dalin last season!
Battelle's drinking capacity is bottomless, he can easily drink a catty or two of liquor without changing his face.

Billups also has a good drinking capacity, but his "resistance" to Chinese baijiu is obviously not good, and he was a little dizzy after only drinking about half a catty.

Wang Dalin still prefers to drink beer, probably because he liked to drink beer in his previous life. He has never been very interested in liquor, and he only drank about half a catty.

As for Yao Ming...he didn't drink alcohol at all, not because he was not under the legal drinking age, but because his capacity for alcohol was really bad, he probably could have slept under the table with a couple of baijiu.

This is a real story... If you have to choose the player with the worst alcohol consumption in the Chinese men's basketball team, Yao Ming will definitely be No. 1!
The brothers ate and drank while talking about the mountains while drinking. The meal lasted from four or five o'clock in the afternoon until late at night... It was too late, and even Yao Ming didn't go home. They found a room at Billups' house and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Billups was woken up by the sound of "bang bang bang" basketball. He came to the yard and saw that it was Wang Dalin, Daba and Yao Ming who were doing shooting practice.

It has to be said that the Chinese players have a basket in their hands. The three Chinese players present are more accurate than each other, and they can accurately hit the basket in all kinds of mid- and long-range shots.

Wang Dalin is mainly practicing free throws. Since the beginning of this season, his free throws have quietly increased from 74 to 80.

This can be seen from his recent free throw percentage. I remember that his free throw percentage in November was only 11%, but in the nine games in December, his free throw percentage has increased to 79.6%, which is quite obvious.

Sometimes Wang Dalin even flirts. When the free throw ability is raised to 99, will there be a miracle of 100% free throw shooting throughout the season... Well, it is really worth looking forward to!

Since his mid-range shooting ability is as high as 86, he has made rapid progress in free throws. In the future, his free throw ability will continue to improve rapidly, and will not gradually slow down until it reaches 86.

Similar to the rapid improvement of free throw ability, his steals, blocks, interference shots, offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds have improved to varying degrees, which directly reflects how wise he was to put points on the two abilities of inside defense and outside defense.

When the total ability value of a sector is first increased, and then some "branch abilities" are increased, it will undoubtedly be more effective with less effort.

Billups saw that Wang Dalin made three three-pointers in a row, and he was obviously a little anxious, so he walked to the middle of the court and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, I haven't shot three-pointers with you for a long time, how about we compete?"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Second Brother, aren't you looking for abuse when you compare yourself to me by three points?"

His three-point ability value has been raised to 90 as early as last season, and there are only a few people in the league who can compare with him, such as Ray Allen and Peja... Billups is obviously not among these people.

Billups laughed and said, "We've only been separated for a few months, and you're getting louder and louder...Come on, I'll compete with you today, and whoever loses will be responsible for today's lunch!"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Okay... Bus, Dayao, the second elder brother took the initiative to invite everyone to have a big meal at noon today, you are welcome!"

Referring to the rules of the three-point ball contest, the two shot 5 balls at each of the five points, and the last ball at each point represented a 2-point ball.

Since it is impossible for Billups to have so many basketballs at home, this competition is not time-limited, but the other three have to help the shooter pick up the ball... This is obviously more beneficial to Billups, because he is not very good at shooting three-pointers in a row.

Billups shot first, and he scored 25 of 15 balls in total, including 3 "flower balls", and the final score was 18 points.

If this result is put into the three-point shooting competition, it can only be regarded as okay, but it is very good in terms of shooting percentage... a full 60%!
After the vote, Billups patted Wang Dalin's shoulder with a smile, obviously he was very satisfied with his hand feeling today.

Wang Dalin didn't speak, and began to cast with a smile on his face.

"Shua... Shua... Shua... Shua... Shua..."

Watching Wang Dalin hit one after another, Yao Ming and Billups couldn't help being stunned, only Battelle looked normal... He has seen this kind of scene many times in training this season, and he is quite used to it.

The three-point ability value of 90 is really terrifyingly accurate in daily training. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to hit every shot once in a while!

When Wang Dalin scored the 16th goal, his score had surpassed that of Billups, but the three of them had a tacit understanding and did not interrupt his shot. They all wanted to see how many goals Wang Dalin could score.

Wang Dalin still missed the 19th ball, and missed the next bouquet... But he made all the subsequent balls smoothly, and finally scored 27 points.

There is no time limit, and there is no tension like a three-point contest. Wang Dalin's 25 of 23 shots from beyond the three-point line can only be regarded as a normal performance...Of course, it is impossible to be so accurate in regular games.

Any player in the NBA, even a professional shooter who makes a living from three-point long shots, cannot be so accurate in the game. A 40% three-point shooting percentage is enough to be called a top shooter.

So far this season, among the players in the entire league who can make at least one three-pointer per game, only 1 have a shooting rate of more than 40%. Among them, Wang Dalin ranks second with a shooting rate of 13%, and his old teammate Bruce Bowen ranks first.

However... If the condition is limited to at least 2 three-pointers per game, Wang Dalin is undoubtedly the leading three-point shooter in the league!

To be the best pitcher, in addition to hitting a high percentage, you must also take enough shots.

So far this season, Wang Dalin has taken a total of 175 three-point shots and made 77 of them. He is the one with the highest three-point production in the league... In this regard, even Ray Allen and Peja are inferior to him.

Wang Dalin's outstanding three-pointer performance has naturally attracted widespread attention, and some media have even given him the title of "the number one shooter in the universe".

Of course, Wang Dalin just laughed it off... I only averaged 3 three-pointers per game and I am considered "the number one shooter in the universe"?

You uninformed people, what kind of nickname are you going to give him when the "schoolboy" enters the league in a few years?

Of course, Wang Dalin is very confident in himself. He believes that as long as he persists in practicing hard, even if the "primary school students" come in a few years, the "League's top scorer" position may not be taken away by him.

Hmm... It's just "unlikely", but it doesn't mean that it won't be snatched away!

As far as that guy's abnormal three-point ability is concerned, 2K games can't fully restore it. Wang Dalin estimates that he may have exceeded the full value of 99, right?
……

At noon on December 12, Wang Dalin and Battelle said goodbye to Billups and Yao Ming after lunch, and boarded the plane back to Detroit.

It's not that Yao Ming and Billups want to practice or play games... After the Kings, the Warriors can rest for four full days, and Warriors coach Eric Musselman did not arrange any training.

The main reason is that the Pistons had to assemble and fly to Orlando that night, and Wang Dalin and Bateer had to go back.

After returning to Detroit, the two went home to rest for a while, had dinner early in the afternoon, and then went to the airport to meet up with their teammates.

On December 12, the Pistons will start a Christmas game with the Magic.

Of course, this game was scheduled to be broadcast live across the United States, and millions of fans were already looking forward to it... They all wanted to see Wang Dalin and McGrady come to a hearty battle of points.

From 2000 to 2010, if you ask who is the strongest superstar in the NBA, perhaps fans will give many different answers... But if you only look at offense, Kobe is undoubtedly the strongest scoring machine during this period.

从2000-2001赛季直至2009-2010赛季，科比总共得到21550分！
In second place is Pierce, who scored a total of 17681 points during this time!
Ranked third is Iverson, who scored a total of 17550 points during this period!
……

If the injury factor is excluded, there is actually another powerful person with super offensive firepower, and he is Tracy McGrady!
麦迪从2000-2001赛季到2006-2007赛季总共砍下了13195分，场均可以得到26.9分。

Especially in the 2002-2003 season, McGrady's offensive firepower was unbelievable. In the 24 games that have ended this season, he averaged 29.3 points per game and his shooting percentage reached 46.1%.

Moreover, Wang Dalin knows that 29.3 points is far from McGrady's limit. At the end of this season, his scoring average will increase to 32.1 points per game, and he will win this season's scoring champion in one fell swoop!

For example, a player can average 46 points per game with a shooting percentage of 25%. If he insists on increasing his scoring average to 30 points per game, his shooting percentage will probably drop below 43%.

For example, last season's Allen Iverson, although he averaged 31.4 points per game, his field goal percentage was only 39.8%... He is also the NBA's lowest field goal percentage since 1948!
McGrady can average more than 30 points per game while maintaining his shooting percentage above 45%... This is already very scary!

Of course, Wang Dalin's performance in scoring this season is not bad... As of now, he has averaged 26 points per game in 27.9 games, shooting 55% from the field and 44% from the three-point range.

If you only look at the offensive efficiency, Wang Dalin is more terrifying than McGrady... You must know that the Pistons have not lost a game so far this season, and they have entered garbage time in the middle of the fourth quarter for a long time.

If Wang Dalin can play as much playing time as McGrady, with his offensive efficiency, scoring more than 30 points per game is really like playing!

Therefore, on Christmas Eve, Orlando's "Waterhouse Center Gymnasium" was full of seats, not only the 17283 seats were full, but even many aisles were full of spectators.

During the warm-up, Wang Dalin only glanced at the auditorium, and he could estimate that there were at least 2 people in the arena tonight... The Orlando home fans are really enthusiastic!
McGrady came over to say hello to Wang Dalin and others while warming up.

He doesn't have many friends in the league, but he has a good relationship with Wang Dalin... probably because their styles of play are similar, so they cherish each other!

At present, Wang Dalin's style of play is most similar to two people, one is Garnett and the other is Tracy McGrady.

But in comparison, he is still more like McGrady, because Garnett has almost no three-point shooting ability, it can only be said that they are more similar in size.

Now some media have called Wang Dalin "an enlarged version of T-MAC", because their offensive skills are so similar, especially when they pull up jump shots.

Wang Dalin could only respond with a wry smile... The first S-level star skill I got was "McGrady", isn't it so different?

……

There were three Christmas games in 2002, among which the games between the Kings and the Lakers and the Celtics and the Nets had already started.

TNT TV broadcasted the entire game between the Pistons and the Magic live, and the other two games only occasionally switched a few scenes... In comparison, they may also expect Wang Dalin and McGrady to stage a fierce point battle between sparks and earth in the game.

While the players were warming up, Smith couldn't wait to "seduce" Barkley: "Charles, T-MAC and Darling Wang are going to face each other tonight. This is the first time they have met in a game this season. Don't you want to make a bet with me?"

Barkley smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you last time? I really don't like gambling now, and I even wanted to quit gambling for a while!"

Smith laughed and said, "If you can quit gambling, I'll just quit steak, believe it or not?"

Barkley laughed and said, "I don't believe it!"

Smith smiled and said, "Okay, if you can quit gambling, I'll quit steak... If you can't, you can quit steak, do you dare?"

Buckley said sternly: "Why don't you dare? Now I can tell you clearly that I will win this bet. You just wait to quit steak!"

Smith laughed so hard that he couldn't hold back his smile and said, "You've already lost!"

Barkley managed to come back to his senses, and said angrily, "No, it doesn't count... It's obviously you who deliberately designed me!"

Smith said with a smile: "Okay, this bet doesn't count...but you have to bet with me on the individual duel between T-MAC and Darling Wang tonight. Who do you prefer?"

Barkley said without hesitation: "Of course I support Darling...I'm his big brother, what if I don't support him?"

Smith thought for a moment, and said: "Okay, today I will let you choose Darling, and I will choose T-MAC. Let's discuss the bet?"

Barkley showed a smirk and said, "Why don't you give up steak for whoever loses? What do you think?"

Smith thought for a moment and said, "It's not good! In this way... If I lose, I will quit steak, and if you lose, you will quit donuts. Do you dare to bet?"

Barkley's expression changed. It was obvious that Smith's move had hit his nails: "Hey, Kenny, we have such a good relationship, so there's no need to bet so much, right?"

Smith said angrily: "Everyone knows that you like donuts, but steak is also my staple food! Why do I have to give up steak when I lose, and don't give up donuts if you lose? Look at your ugly face... You have grown to 300 pounds after just a few months after retiring. I am definitely doing you a favor by helping you give up donuts!"

Buckley hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Okay, let's bet like this... But let me declare first, if you lose, I will specially find someone to go to your house to supervise you, lest you break your promise and eat steak secretly!"

Smith sneered: "If you lose, I will also send someone to monitor you..."

……

Under the eyes of everyone, the Christmas game between the Pistons and the Magic finally started.

Big Ben defeated Sean Kemp in the jump ball and passed the ball to Wang Dalin.

Compared with three seasons ago, Kemp gained at least two laps of weight, and his current weight is definitely no less than 125KG. The "Rain Man" who flew into the sky and escaped from the ground can only live in people's memories!

In fact, in the previous life, Wang Dalin liked the player Sean Kemp very much. This guy can be said to have created the genre of "beastist power forward". The later generations of Stoudemire, Howard and Griffin are basically in this way.

This style of flying into the sky and escaping from the ground is indeed very visually impactful, but once there is a problem with the body, it will be over!
For example, Stoudemire suffered a serious knee injury when he was in the Suns. Fortunately, the "Sun Doctor" brought him back to his peak... Later, he suffered a serious injury again in the Knicks, and this time he was completely cold.

Griffin's situation is similar to Stoudemire's, and it is also because of a major injury that he has not recovered, and he will never be able to return to the top.

Howard has not experienced devastating injuries in his career, but as he gets older, he quickly loses his dominance inside... In comparison, his offensive skills are really incomparable with Griffin and Stoudemire.

Wang Dalin dribbled the ball slowly across the half court, observed the movement of his teammates for a while, and then raised his left hand to make a "one" gesture.

If this gesture is compared by McGinnis, it represents the No. [-] tactic, but if Wang Dalin compares it, it means... "Pull them all away, I will be one-on-one!"

The Magic's starting small forward is Grant Hill... Tonight's much-anticipated Christmas game, the Magic's head coach Doc Rivers has sent a purely offensive starting lineup. None of them have a real point guard. McGrady has the strongest organizational ability, so he is playing point guard now.

If it was Hill at his peak, Wang Dalin might still be afraid of him three points. After all, the shadow of a famous tree, the title of the first generation of "Jordan's successor" is not self-proclaimed by him!
However, since experiencing that serious knee injury in 2000, Hill's state has completely fallen off a cliff, and he is now one of the representatives of "high salary and low ability" in the league.

本赛季希尔的年薪高达1207万美元，比王大林还要高，可他的场均数据却只有16.2分7.6篮板4.7助攻1抢断0.4盖帽。

McGrady's annual salary this season is also 1207 million US dollars. Compared with this... It is estimated that Hill would be too embarrassed to look in the mirror when washing his face in the morning!

Wang Dalin lowered his center of gravity and slowly dribbled the ball to around the three-point line. He suddenly made a "reaper's double change", and then he accelerated and threw Hill behind him.

Once upon a time, how many outside defenders did Hill break through with his stunt of changing directions without slowing down?
Even Jordan was broken by him many times at the beginning, one can imagine how awesome Hill was at that time!
Wang Dalin's dribbling over Hill is not as easy as "passing you is like crossing the road in the morning", but his dribbling speed of 85 is already the only one among big players, a few points faster than Garnett, and it is really not difficult to break through Hill, who has almost lost his knee.

After entering the three-second zone, Wang Dalin took advantage of the impact brought by his quick breakthrough to face Sean Kemp directly, and kicked off the curtain of tonight's game with a dunk dunk in the style of smashing Huashan.

No bragging, if Sean Kemp is a few years younger, or weighs more than a dozen kilograms, Wang Dalin would not dare to dunk directly on his head even if he is killed.

Although Kemp was not a shot-blocking expert at his peak, he possessed amazing explosive power and jumping ability. He has always dunked through others. When was he bullied like this?

Kemp has a bad temper. After being dunked by Wang Dalin, he immediately pushed him over. He probably wanted to take the initiative... If Wang Dalin couldn't help but fight him, regardless of who wins, even if both of them were expelled, the Magic would definitely take advantage.

"What do you want to do?"

Wang Dalin was pushed back two steps before he stabilized his figure, but Da Ben on the side had already seen this scene, so he went up and pushed Kemp directly into the pile of reporters under the basket.

Don't look at Kemp who is tall and thick, and now he looks huge because of his weight... If it is compared to strength, he is far worse than Daben!
There are less than five people in the entire league who can compete with Ben in strength, and Karl Malone is probably the only one in the position of power forward... Well, he is already 39 years old, and now his strength is probably lower than that of Ben!
All the players from the two teams gathered around. Mike Miller and Pat Garrity pointed at Big Ben and yelled at them, but Big Ben just looked at them coldly... He is not good at swearing, and he is always ready to fight!
"Beep beep..." Several referees blew their whistles to separate the players from the two teams around the basket. Camp felt Daben's strength and decided to give up. Naturally, this fight could not be fought.

The referee gave Big Ben and Kemp a T each, and the two sides got two free throw opportunities. Mike Miller executed the free throw for the Magic, and Wang Dalin himself for the Pistons.

After the free throws, the score of the two teams came to 4:2, and it was finally the Magic's turn to attack.

McGrady dribbled the ball to the front court, and also gestured to let his teammates pull away. He wanted to play McGinnis one-on-one.

Wang Dalin hurried forward and moved McGinnis to the flank.

With McGrady's one-on-one strength, coupled with his height of 203 cm and wingspan of 218 cm, it's not like playing McGinnis in singles?
How could Wang Dalin allow this pervert to single out McGinnis?

Isn't that giving points for nothing?
Seeing that the person defending him in front of him has become Wang Dalin in an instant, McGrady was surprised, and a gleam of light suddenly appeared in his sleepy eyes.

Facing Wang Dalin, McGrady lost all his advantages in size, but his speed was still a little faster, so he didn't hesitate, and immediately started after a forward dribble. He wanted to use his speed to force Wang Dalin.

This trick is really effective... Wang Dalin himself started the timing one step too late. It is undoubtedly a dream to catch up with McGrady after being broken through, but he never gave up chasing, because he knew that McGrady would definitely not be easy to attack the frame directly.

Da Ben made it up in time, his defense speed was no less than Wang Dalin's, and his height and wingspan were not much better than McGrady's... Well, the height is indeed a little short, but the wingspan is about the same!
McGrady couldn't help but frowned slightly, but he had already taken three big steps, so he didn't back down, but instead charged towards Big Ben.

Before suffering a serious injury, McGrady's explosive power was extremely explosive, and he often performed individual dunks in games... Although Daben was the best defensive player last season, it can be said that he has already gained a reputation on the defensive end, but McGrady has no fear on his face and directly chooses to be tough.

The Pistons' first attack was Wang Dalin dunking Kemp, and the Magic's first attack... McGrady also wanted to use a dunk to boost the team's morale.

But he obviously underestimated Da Ben and Wang Dalin!

I saw him jumping high, his body almost stretched into a bow shape, and he was about to perform a big smash with both hands... Wang Dalin also jumped high from behind, and slapped the ball off his hand.

This is... a chasing hat!
Amidst the sighs of the home fans in the "Water House Center Stadium", McGinnis quickly dribbled the ball down quickly after grabbing the ball, and then made a precise long pass to Hamilton, who ended the fast break with an unremarkable "civilian layup".

After landing, McGrady didn't chase after him, his face was full of shock... Obviously Wang Dalin's chasing hat brought him not only surprise, but also fear!
"Didn't I break through him just now? When did he catch up?"—Maybe this is the only thought in McGrady's mind at this moment.

In fact, Wang Dalin also has mental calculations and unintentional intentions, and his speed and wingspan are good... Just now, if his speed was a little slower, or his arms were a little shorter, it would be impossible to cover this ball!
If you compare jumping ability alone, McGrady is obviously above him... Well, it should be said that the entire league can compare with McGrady in jumping ability, and even Kobe can't compare with him in this link!
After seeing Hamilton's goal, Wang Dalin was in a good mood, and finally couldn't help smiling at McGrady: "Hey, T-MAC, I'm ahead of you tonight!"

McGrady pouted, the light in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and he returned to the half-asleep state again: "The game has just started, you are proud now... Isn't it too early?"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Okay, then why don't you try again?"

A smile appeared on McGrady's face: "Okay, just try it, you have to be careful... I'm going to do my best!"
