Chapter 237
"Dayao, don't come here without any problems!" Wang Dalin and Yao Ming whispered in his ear as they hugged each other.

"It's as if we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Yao Ming's face turned into an emoji with a smile on the spot, "We were still drinking at the celebration banquet in Harbin more than a month ago, and it hasn't been long since we parted!"

Wang Dalin chuckled: "That's right... How many points are you going to lose to us tonight?"

Yao Ming smiled and said, "Dalin, it's not that I underestimated you. I'm afraid our team will win tonight, right?"

Wang Dalin smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true! Have you forgotten... last season, our two teams won one and lost one!"

Yao Ming laughed and said, "Don't forget, you were in the Pistons last season, but now you are in the Clippers... With your lineup, it's hard for us to win against you!"

Wang Dalin was a little annoyed, and was about to refute him, when he saw Billups and Clifford Robinson walking over with smiles.

That's right, the previous "Uncle Cliff" of the Pistons has become a completely free agent this summer, and the Warriors signed him with a two-year, $2 million contract.

"Yao, that's great!" Billups came over and hugged Wang Dalin, "Fourth brother, it seems that you are really doomed tonight!"

Robinson also laughed and said, "Darling, I'm with them this time, you wish you luck!"

Wang Dalin said stiffly: "Hmph! Second brother, Clifford, the match hasn't started yet, and the outcome is yet to be known!"

Yao Ming said with a smile: "It is true that the outcome is unknown, but your team's strength is obviously much worse than ours!"

Wang Dalin stiffened his neck and replied, "Okay, let's wait and see!"

After speaking, he turned and returned to his own half.

Returning to his home halftime to continue warming up, Wang Dalin could only sigh helplessly.

Yao Ming is right. The current Clippers are indeed inferior to the Warriors in terms of hard power. Among other things, Billups alone is not something Jarich can stop.

Moreover, the Warriors also have players such as Jason Richardson, Antawn Jamison, Troy Murphy, and Clifford Robinson. This summer, they signed last season's backup point guard Speedy Claxton for the Spurs for $3 million for three years. This is also a very good quality backup point guard.

It can be said that the Warriors are definitely a powerful team in the West at present, even the Mavericks, Spurs and Lakers dare not underestimate them.

On the other hand, the Clippers, apart from Wang Dalin and Maggette, they don't even have a decent third player... Although Quentin Richardson has a good offense, his defense is so poor that he can't even be considered a top 3D player. How can he be considered a qualified third player?

If Quentin Richardson is like this, others are even less qualified.

It would have been nice if the Clippers could have kept Elton Brand. At least he is good both offensively and defensively. He is definitely among the top ten power forwards in the current NBA.

Coupled with Maggette as the third master, the strength of the Clippers will be extremely terrifying.

But then again...if the Clippers didn't come up with Brand, how could they get Wang Dalin?The Lakers even took out Kobe!

The whistle sounded to start the game, and Yao Ming easily defeated Mourning in the jump ball and passed the ball to Billups.

After receiving the ball, Billups dribbled the ball steadily across the half court. After some observation, he found that Marco Jaric was afraid of his breakthrough speed, so his defensive position was quite low, so he raised his hand and scored a three-pointer... The ball flew across the sky of the Oakland Arena like a shooting star, and went into the basket accurately.

After last season, especially the two rounds of hard work in the playoffs, Billups's style of play is now calm and sharp, and such sudden three-pointers are just what he is good at.

Wang Dalin sighed, and he didn't dare to let Jaric take the shot, because once Billups got inside the three-point line, even if the Clippers had a defense expert like him, it wouldn't help.

Billups is not alone like Iverson or Kobe, his passing is very powerful, and the Warriors also have good players like Yao Ming, Jamison and Richardson on the offensive end.

It was the Clippers' turn to attack, and Jaric passed the ball to Wang Dalin immediately after dribbling the ball at halftime.

In the first few games, except for the first game of the loss, the Clippers' offense was basically played by Wang Dalin as the starting point, and he also completed this task very well, with assists in double figures for three consecutive games.

After observing the running position of his teammates, Wang Dalin took the initiative to dribble the ball to the inside, and then distributed the ball to Mourning near the bottom line on the right in a fast movement.

Mourning made a mid-range shot when he caught the ball, but Yao Ming slapped the ball down as soon as he took the shot. Billups picked up the ball and passed it to Richardson who was about to come down.

In the next attack, Wang Dalin decided to do it himself, so he started to break through from outside the three-point line. Unexpectedly, he just rushed into the three-second zone when he saw a high wall in front of him...it was Yao Ming!

Wang Dalin couldn't catch up, so he forced a jump shot, but the ball was hit by Yao Ming's strong interference.

There is no way, Yao Ming is too tall, and his blocking height is the only one Wang Dalin has seen in his life. In order to avoid blocking, Wang Dalin's shooting movements have changed. It is lucky that the ball can not be blocked on the spot.

That is to say, Wang Dalin's height and jumping are good, if he were to be replaced by someone else, he would probably have to get a big hat on the spot.

After the ball, due to Yao Ming's defensive deterrence in the penalty area, Wang Dalin no longer dared to rush into the three-second zone to find his discomfort.

In addition to breakthroughs, Wang Dalin's mid-to-long distance shooting ability is almost the best in the entire league, and Yao Ming can't spot it, so even though the Warriors have Yao Ming as an inside pillar, it doesn't have much impact on Wang Dalin's offense.

But the second head of the Clippers, Corey Maggette, is in big trouble. He is not good at shooting, but only good at breakthroughs. Now he has met his nemesis!

In the first quarter, Maggette broke into the opponent's interior six times. Not only did he fail to score one goal, but he also took the initiative to send Yao Ming to block two. He was in a bad mood.

The Clippers can't start the situation inside, which also directly affects their outside offense.

For example, Quentin Richardson, in the first four games he averaged 16.4 points per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 48%. However, in the first quarter of this game, he only made 5 of 1 shots and only scored 3 points.

After the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 22:29, and the Clippers trailed by 7 points.

In this quarter, Coach Deng Levy tried his best to "play the main force". Even a veteran like Mourning played for about 9 minutes on the court, and Wang Dalin played the entire first quarter directly, but they were still suppressed by the Warriors. They couldn't reverse the situation at all.

In the final analysis, the Clippers do not have as many players as the Warriors. If they really want to switch to last season's Pistons, how can the Warriors suppress them?

Chris Wilcox also averaged 14.1 points and 8.2 rebounds per game in later generations, but that was after the Supersonics in the 2005-2006 season. Now he is only a rookie in the second grade, and he is still too immature.

There is also Bobby Simmons, a second-round pick in 2001. In the original time and space, when he served as the team's starting small forward, he also averaged 16.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game. But now that the team has Wang Dalin and Maggette, how can he have the opportunity to play the starting small forward?
In addition, people like Eddie House, Pedrag Drobiak, Kenyon Dooling, Wang Zhizhi, etc. are just role players, and they can only be on the bench for most of their careers.

Especially Wang Zhizhi... If you don't brag, you can't criticize. With Wang Zhizhi's technical attributes and physical talents, it is his limit to be able to gain a foothold in the NBA, and it is almost impossible to go further.

The game continued in the second quarter, Wang Dalin did not rest, he had to continue playing... This was a request from Coach Deng Levi, and it was also his own personal wish.

Now this Clippers team, if Wang Dalin is not on the court, both offensive and defensive ends will drop by more than one level, maybe even worse than last season... At least there was Elton Brand who averaged close to 20+10 per game in the Clippers last season!

His teammates were not strong enough, so Wang Dalin had no choice but to start all over the place.

Not only does he need to face the Warriors' tightest defense on the offensive end, but he also has to be a father and a mother on the defensive end, helping his teammates everywhere in the entire three-point line.

If Wang Dalin travels a few months later, he will be able to see the 2020-2021 NBA playoffs. In the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Bucks, Kevin Durant did the same thing as him.

特别是G5战中杜小帅打满了48分钟，砍下49分17篮板10助攻的大号三双，这才艰难地率领篮网队取胜。

In the first quarter, Wang Dalin made a total of 8 of 4 shots, including 4 of 2 three-pointers. He scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. He has performed quite well.

However, starting from the second quarter, Wang Dalin finally showed his terrifying offensive firepower.

He is omnipotent on the offensive end, no matter whether he is on the outside or in the middle distance, he can always kill the Warriors even when he rushes inside.

就在这一节，王大林总共11投8中，其中三分球5投2中，罚球4投3中，砍下21分的同时还贡献出了4个篮板、2次助攻和1次封盖。

Let me say one more thing... This block was just given to Yao Ming, the first height of the Warriors.

Wang Dalin could clearly see... When the shot was blocked, Yao Ming's face was full of disbelief. At that time, he had already used his footsteps to throw Wang Dalin behind him, but he didn't expect Wang Dalin to hit him with a nail plate from behind.

However, the Warriors were not completely defeated by Wang Dalin's powerful offensive in the second quarter. Although they couldn't guard Wang Dalin, the Clippers still couldn't restrain their offense.

So... Although Wang Dalin played an amazing offensive frenzy, after halftime, the Clippers still trailed the Warriors by 52 points at 55:3.

During the intermission, Coach Dunleavy did not arrange more tactics for the players, but filled them with "chicken soup".

In fact, this kind of "chicken soup" is still very useful sometimes, just like many famous shocking reversals in the history of world football, each of which is closely related to "chicken soup".

For example, in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final, everyone was not optimistic about Liverpool from the beginning, and they all believed that AC Milan would easily beat them to win the championship.

Facts have proved that everyone's vision is indeed accurate. AC Milan scored 3 goals in the first half alone...Liverpool fell behind 0:3 at halftime. Anyone who changed it would think that they had already lost.

During the intermission, the then head coach of Liverpool, Rafael Benitez, said to his disciples: "We must do something! We can't play idly for another 45 minutes in front of tens of thousands of fans, and then leave after losing four or five goals. This is not the purpose of our coming here!"

"I won't put too high demands on you, I just hope that everyone will work hard on the field and try to score one goal... just one goal, just so that we don't lose so ugly, okay?"

The result, as everyone knows, Liverpool scored three goals in the second half and defeated AC Milan in a penalty shootout, which can be called one of the most classic shocking reversals in the history of the Champions League, known as the "Istanbul Night" in history.

But obviously Coach Deng Lewei's "chicken soup skill" is not very good... He cheered up the players like a chicken blood, and talked for at least 10 minutes, but Wang Dalin observed it and found that the emotions of the teammates did not fluctuate much.

Alas... This Clippers team has really been used to losing in the past few years. The players really lack fighting spirit. Coach Dunleavy wants to turn them around with a "chicken soup" speech, which is obviously too naive.

Wang Dalin sighed... Come on, I still have to rely on me!

After the start of the third quarter, the Warriors players found that Wang Dalin's offensive firepower was significantly lower than in the second quarter, but his offense was still very efficient.

Except for the halftime break, Wang Dalin didn't take a minute off the field, and he had to fight both offensively and defensively. He was more physically exhausted than anyone else on the field.

If he hadn't raised his physical strength to 93 during the offseason, Wang Dalin would not have the confidence to last until the last moment if he continued to play like this.

But there is one thing to say... Even if he can increase his stamina to the full 99, he still feels that it is difficult for him to play the whole game.

Now he probably knows why in the summer of 2016, Kevin Durant, even with the notoriety of "surrendering to the enemy", still joined the Warriors who had defeated them before without hesitation.

There is also LeBron James in the Cavaliers 1.0 period. Doesn't he want to lead his hometown team to compete for the championship?

Doesn't he know that joining the Heat to form a group will have a negative impact on his reputation?

They all know it, but... the feeling of being alone is too uncomfortable!
