Chapter 208 Duncan also lost, who else can win Darling-King?
The seemingly small circle of the NBA is actually a Jianghu... Since it is a Jianghu, there are differences in the status of the Jianghu.

For example, Rajon Rondo, who entered the league for the first time in the later generations, provoked Kobe in a game against the Lakers, and Kobe pointed at his nose on the spot and yelled wildly.

I believe many people know that Rondo has a bad temper. He once had a big fight with Chris Paul during a game, which caused Paul's nosebleed. In the end, he didn't dare to be disrespectful to Kobe, and the two quickly separated under the pull of his teammates.

This is Kobe, try another player with a lower seniority? The fist of "Director Long" is not vegetarian!

Another example is O'Neill, who became a commentator on TNT TV after retiring, and often went to the sidelines to watch the game.

So he also went to a game between the Thunder and the Spurs. Before the game, Danny Green, Kevin Durant and Tim Duncan walked to the sidelines and said hello to O'Neal.

When facing Green and Durant, O'Neal sat on a chair and shook hands with them. When Duncan came over, O'Neal immediately stood up, shook hands and hugged Duncan cordially.

From this detail alone, it can be seen how much O'Neal respects Duncan. He obviously regards Duncan as a superstar with the same status as himself.

In fact, Duncan should of course be regarded as O'Neal's "junior". He set foot in the NBA 5 years later than O'Neal, but this does not affect his historical status.

When a player can win 5 championships, 3 FMVPs, and 2 MVPs, he is enough to make everyone dare not take it lightly.

Therefore, even though the Pistons led the Spurs by a full 10 points in the first half, Wang Dalin still did not dare to take it lightly, because the Spurs still have that terrifying "Stone Buddha"!

Even though Wang Dalin is a very experienced fan, he knows Duncan very well, but if you ask him to tell what is so good about Duncan, he can't tell why.

Yes, we all know that Duncan is great, and he is even recognized as the number one power forward in NBA history, but in what aspect is he so good?

Is Duncan's shot accurate?

He averaged 50.6% field goal percentage per game in his career, which can only be considered good for a tall inside player, and it really can't be regarded as the top in history.

If you don’t believe me, we can look at the shooting percentages of several top inside players in history——Wilt Chamberlain 54%, “Skyhook” Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 55.9%, Shaq O’Neal 58.2%… Even Yao Ming has a career shooting percentage of 52.4%!

So is Duncan good at rebounding?

He has never won a rebounding title in his career, so there should be no need to say more, right?
Is Duncan's defense strong?

There is no doubt that Duncan's defensive strength must be at a historical level, because he has been selected to the best defensive first team 8 times and to the best defensive second team 7 times.

But to say that his defensive level is the highest in history... It seems that there is still a hard indicator missing, after all, he has never won the best defensive player once!

So...why does everyone think Duncan is strong?
For this, Wang Dalin had only one explanation in his mind... Duncan was like Yang Guo's black iron swordsmanship, it seemed inconspicuous on the surface, but in fact it was powerful enough to split stones!
An epee without a front, a great coincidence... Duncan is such a player!
When you carefully analyze all his skills, you will find that every link of his is not the top, but every link is enough to rank in the forefront of the entire league!
If you have to ask which aspect is Duncan so good at?

Wang Dalin will tell you... Duncan is amazing in every aspect!

In the original history, Duncan was the only head of the team in the 21st century who could lead the team to win the championship with a single core... Uh, it's just this season... If Wang Dalin didn't mess in!

And as a player who can lead the team to win the championship with a single core... how could he not be strong?

Sure enough, in the second half of the game, Duncan finally started to exert his strength.

Facing Wang Dalin's defense, his inside offense does not take much advantage, but he can also attack through 45-degree mid-range shots on both sides.

Wang Dalin's mid-range shot is almost unsolvable, because he has the tallest figure in the league at the [-]rd position... Duncan is about the same size as him, and a sudden mid-range shot in this position is also unsolvable, even if Wang Dalin defends him personally. The effect is not very good.

And when he made two mid-range shots, Wang Dalin's defense became even more difficult, because his ultimate goal was to make Wang Dalin in a dilemma on the defensive end... When you get close to the defense because you are afraid of my mid-range shot, I may suddenly speed up and drive to the basket!

One more thing... When Duncan opens up the offensive end, the rest of the Spurs get more open shots because the Pistons' defensive focus is almost entirely on Duncan.

于是邓肯在第三节打得就像第二节的王大林一样，他单节11投7中，外加罚球4投4中，砍下18分4篮板的同时还送出了4次助攻……这表现几乎和王大林如同复制粘贴一般。

Three of Duncan's four assists were given to Manu Ginobili who came off the bench, and two of them were three-pointers... The young "Pampas Eagle" showed the Americans for the first time his terrifying scoring power, scoring 8 points in just three attacks!
The performance of Duncan and Ginobili is of course extremely good, but when the third quarter ended, the Spurs were still 76 points behind 84:8, because the performance of the Piston players was also extremely good, especially Wang Dalin and Hamilton.

王大林第三节并没有过多的个人进攻，不过他还是7投4中砍下了10分4篮板，还送出了整整5次助攻……这5次助攻全部给到了“三哥”汉密尔顿！
Of course, Wang Dalin passed the ball to Hamilton more than 5 times in this quarter, but when Wang Dalin began to frequently appear in the high position to support, the opponent Jackson, a strong outside defender, immediately switched to marking Hamilton...Facing such a defensive intensity, "Third Brother" can't hit every ball even if he feels super good.

根据本赛季已经结束的比赛来看，布泽尔场均可以得到10.2分6.4篮板，而奥库场均则可以得到7.1分5.2篮板，麦金尼斯更是可以场均贡献13.2分5.7助攻……

Lacking three important attack points, the Pistons' offensive firepower suddenly dropped a lot, so both Wang Dalin and Hamilton took on more offensive pressure than usual.

Of course, the "Third Brother" performed so well in this game, or because Wang Dalin used "touch your head" on him, just after Boozer and Okur were sent off... Uh, you Duncan has used this trick, why don't you let me use it?
"Big Brother" Ben Wallace still only has a strong presence on the defensive end. On the offensive end, he is a little transparent and basically can't help.

Fortunately, Big Ben's defense and rebounding can help the team... Without his strong defense, who knows if "Admiral" David Robinson will only make 8 of 2 shots tonight?
Although Lian is quite old, this guy was also a fierce offensive player who "scored" 71 points in a single game. If he suddenly came back on the court, none of the Pistons' inside players can really do anything!
After the third quarter, the players on both sides got a precious and short rest time, especially Wang Dalin and Duncan, the two leaders of their respective teams...they both played more than 30 minutes in the first three quarters, and their physical exertion was not small.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

Smith began to shout: "Charles, do you think I'm right? I said earlier that Tim is definitely the kind of superstar that anyone can hardly beat, even if the opponent is Darling-Wang!"

Barkley nodded and said: "Tim is indeed very good. I knew this when I was still in the Rockets! But looking at the performance of the first three quarters, it is obvious that Darling is better. He scored more points, grabbed more rebounds, and sent out more assists!"

Smith said unconvinced: "But Tim has scored 34 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists in the first three quarters. He is very likely to win the first 40+ large triple-double of his career tonight, isn't it?"

巴克利笑道：“你光是注意到蒂姆了，难道你没看到达令已经砍下43分11篮板11助攻了吗？而且比赛还有整整12分钟，达令今晚很有可能砍下得分50+的大号三双！”

After a slight pause, Barkley showed a self-deprecating smile and said, "Almost forgot, Darling did it once last season...Maybe for him, 50+ triple-doubles might not be particularly difficult, right?"

Smith suddenly had a horrified look on his face, and he stammered and asked, "Charles, do you think... Darling-Wang will... cut... a 60+ triple-double tonight?"

Barkley's pupils dilated instantly, and he said blankly, "Really? Why didn't I think of this possibility? Is it because I didn't dare to think about it or...Darling really...is it possible for him to do this?"

……

The fourth quarter finally started, and the head coaches of both sides have sent out the strongest lineups they can... Facing such a strong enemy, neither Carlisle nor Popovich dared to hold back any more.

The Spurs sent David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Stephen Jackson, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker... Except for Bruce Bowen who had already been sent off, the strongest lineup of the Spurs now has a second-year rookie and a first-year rookie.

The five members of the Pistons are Ben Wallace, Clifford Robinson, Wang Dalin, Richard Hamilton and Ralph Alston.

In this lineup, Alston and Hamilton are both in the fourth grade, while Wang Dalin is in the third grade... In fact, they are not much more "sophisticated" than the Spurs!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs played an exquisite pass and cut cooperation. Duncan was on the right flank with his back as the pivot, and Ginobili bypassed the double screens of Duncan and the "Admiral" continuously, successfully received Duncan's pass, and rushed into the basket with a one-handed dunk... Ginobili's jumping ability was really good when he was young!
Wang Dalin and Hamilton also played exactly the same pass and cut cooperation, but Hamilton was dragged down by Duncan who was defending during a layup.

This is "Stone Buddha"...he always knows what he should do on the field!
Even though he had committed 3 fouls in the first three quarters, he still didn't hesitate to strike this time, and hugged Hamilton while pulling him down...he is not as dirty as a certain teammate!

Hamilton made two free throws to raise his personal score to 26 tonight.

Being able to score 43+ with Wang Dalin scoring 20 points, I have to say that Hamilton is another sharp knife on the offensive end of the Pistons tonight!

So far this season, Hamilton's scoring average has risen to 22.3 points, which is an increase of 19.8 points from last season's 2.5 points... Now he is almost indistinguishable from the famous "Mask Man" in history!

How powerful is a full-body "Mask Man"?
For this question, it is estimated that many fans do not have a clear answer, but Wang Dalin thinks...he can at least barely match Ginobili at his peak!
At present, Ginobili is obviously still in his infancy. After scoring the first goal in the fourth quarter, the next three consecutive shots all ended in iron strikes... The shooting choices of these three offenses were "extremely unreasonable", so they were all iron strikes!
This is also in response to Popovich's famous evaluation of Ginobili-"Sometimes when I see him choose that kind of outrageous shot, I always want to replace him immediately, and then put him on the bench and never let him play...But the next second the ball is scored, I just want to make him breakfast tomorrow!"

Obviously, in the fourth quarter of this game, Ginobili played completely in a state that made Popovich hate his teeth, so he should be pushed to the bench... Uh... Let him play again, shall we?

So Ginobili made another wave of 3 shots and made 2 of [-] shots. Popovich smiled on the sidelines bench until his face became more wrinkled.

For Ginobili's crooked breakthrough action, Hamilton really has a headache.

In fact, Wang Dalin used this "serpentine breakthrough" trick many times in the finals of last season and this season, but the "fake version" of course cannot be compared with the "genuine" one, after all Ginobili's speed is faster.

Hamilton's touch has declined a bit, and two consecutive shots have been hit by the interference of Ginobili, so Wang Dalin raised the banner of offense again and started all kinds of singles without distinction.

Without Bowen, even a strong defensive player like Jackson has nothing to do with Wang Dalin. After all, Wang Dalin doesn't like to push inside.

The old thief Bobo immediately replaced Duncan to defend Wang Dalin, but he also couldn't defend against it, because Wang Dalin's jump shots were always so sudden, and his shooting speed was extremely fast.

So in the fourth quarter, Wang Dalin scored 17 points in a single quarter, and directly led the team to play a wave to take the game away!

117:108... Judging from the score, the Spurs did not seem to have lost much, but tonight the Pistons have been firmly controlling the rhythm of the game from the beginning to the end. It seems that they only won by 9 points. In fact, these 9 points are like a natural moat, which cannot be overcome at all!

邓肯全场砍下了42分15篮板11助攻2盖帽1抢断，如愿以偿地打出了自己职业生涯的第一个40+三双。

But just as Wang Dalin said to him during the warm-up before the game, even if he can hit a large triple-double of 40+, Wang Dalin's performance is still above him!
本场比赛王大林29投20中，其中三分球13投8中，罚球14投12中，竟然真的被他砍下了前所未有的60+三双……60分14篮板12助攻2抢断1盖帽！

王大林还记得2018年1月30日那天，当詹姆斯.哈登砍下60分10篮板11助攻的时候，整个北美体坛被他震撼成了什么样子。

Now it is only January 2003, 1... Is it really good to play such abnormal data?
Just after the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Barkley couldn't wait to take off the glittering championship ring from Smith, and said triumphantly: "Darling scored an unprecedented large triple-double tonight, you kid should also be convinced of the loss, right?"

Smith nodded and said: "No problem... I am really convinced that I lost! But Charles, I just want to ask... Tim played so well tonight and even lost. Who else can win Darling-King?"

Barkley laughed and said: "No one can beat Darling-Wang!"

Smith said with a shocked expression: "This means... In addition to breaking the historical winning streak this year, the Pistons are very likely to break another record... The Bulls' record of 72 wins!"

Barkley was stunned for a moment, and murmured for a long time: "No way? Is the Pistons really that strong now?"
