Chapter 239 How about another Artest for us?
After the game, Wang Dalin refused to be interviewed by reporters on the sidelines after the game.

He is in an extremely bad mood now. Even when Yao Ming, Billups and others came to greet him, his face was ashen. How could he be in the mood to accept some kind of Lao Shizi's sideline interview?

这也很正常……当你在场上拼尽全力，砍下57分11篮板7助攻1抢断1盖帽居然还会输球，你恐怕也会恨不得把场边技术台的广告屏都砸个稀烂。

Besides, he is still so young... Even if he has already become a superstar now, he is still only 21 years old!

He didn't even go to the press conference after the game. For this, he will be fined by the league between $1 and $2, but he doesn't care about it.

On the plane back to Los Angeles that night, Wang Dalin kept silent, lying alone in his seat with his eyes closed.

His teammates didn't dare to talk to him... Corey Maggette, Quentin Richardson and others were fine. Even Wang Zhizhi and Eddie House, who had the best relationship with Wang Dalin, didn't bother to make fun of themselves.

After returning home at night, after taking a shower, he fell into a deep sleep on the bed. It was not until the next morning when he woke up to take a shower that Wang Dalin showed a slight smile.

But it was just losing a normal regular season game. If it would take a few days to be depressed, then he might as well stop playing in the NBA and go back to China to play in the CBA... Anyway, with his strength, even if his teammates don't have a single national player, he will definitely be able to make a big splash in the CBA and even reach the top directly.

That night, the Clippers took on the challenge of the Magic at home.

Like the Clippers, the Magic just played a game last night, and they lost 101:106 to the Nuggets led by new scout Carmelo Anthony.

If the morale of the Clippers is low after a narrow defeat, then the Magic is completely defeated... So far this season, the Magic has 1 win and 8 losses, and except for the 85:83 victory over the Knicks in the opening game, all the next 8 games ended in failure.

8 consecutive losses... Wang Dalin has never had such a humiliating experience since he entered the league, so he really wants to know, what kind of mood is Tracy McGrady, the boss of the Magic now?
其实前9场比赛麦迪的个人表现真不算差，场均可以得到26.3分5.9篮板5.4助攻1抢断0.9盖帽，投篮命中率42.3%，三分命中率39.6%，罚球命中率85.2%。

Except for a slightly lower shooting percentage, three-pointers and free throws are even slightly better than his last season, which shows that his offensive efficiency is quite good.

就在昨晚，他在对阵掘金队的比赛中全场30投20中，其中三分球11投8中，罚球3投3中，狂砍51分6篮板5助攻2抢断2盖帽，把对位的“小甜瓜”彻底完爆了。

But even with such a strong personal performance, he still couldn't lead the Magic to a victory.

From this point of view, the experience of McGrady and Wang Dalin last night is almost the same... Both scored 50+, and both lost.

But on this night, Wang Dalin and the Clippers were obviously better.

他们打出了非常流畅的进攻，并且基本限制住了麦迪的个人发挥，让这名超级分卫全场只得到19分4篮板6助攻2抢断1盖帽。

王大林全场18投9中，其中三分球8投4中，罚球9投9中，砍下32分12篮板12助攻2盖帽，用一个大号三双宣告了自己王者归来。

And it can be seen from his only 18 offensive shots in the game that he focused more on how to organize and mobilize his teammates in this game. The 12 assists in the game also proved this very well.

After the first few games, Wang Dalin finally determined his position in the Clippers.

It can be seen from the results of the game that as long as he scored a triple-double, the Clippers won. On the contrary, even if he scored 50+, the Clippers still lost as long as he didn't have a double-double in assists.

Therefore, for the Clippers, they need Wang Dalin to play the role of an organizer and occasional strong attack. If the teammates can't open it and only open him alone, the result is often not ideal.

In fact, Wang Dalin has gradually mastered a certain pattern, and he doesn’t need to think about anything else. Anyway, he focuses on offense and defense, organization and attack, rebounds, steals, and blocks...everything!

This kind of playing style of being both a father and a mother... Isn't it the LeBron James of the Cavaliers in the 1.0 period?

Don't underestimate Lao Zhan in this period. Even though the competitive pressure in the Eastern Conference was relatively small during that time, he did lead his team to the finals in 2007.

Uh... Then in exchange for Deng's dumb sentence, "The future is yours"!
With the Cavaliers' lineup configuration at the time, James didn't even have a teammate averaging more than 15 points per game. He did show the league's leading ability to lead the team.

It's just a pity... With such a lineup configuration, it's really sad to beat the "GDP combination" who are both at the peak of their careers, and the experienced Popovich.

On November 11, the Clippers challenged the Cavaliers away. Wang Dalin finally saw LeBron James in this life.

Judging from the previous physical measurement data, James' barefoot height is 6 feet 7.25 inches, which is 201.295 cm in metric units, and his height with shoes is about 203 to 204 cm.

再看其他方面：体重245磅（111KG），臂展7尺又1/4英寸（214CM），站立摸高8尺10.25寸（270CM），体脂率6.7%……尽管他并没有参加其他项目的测试，可仅看这几项已是当今联盟小前锋的顶级静态天赋。

When the players on both sides were warming up, James came over to say hello to the Clippers players in a friendly manner, especially when facing Wang Dalin, his performance was neither humble nor overbearing, very superstar style.

本赛季已经结束的10场比赛中，詹姆斯场均可以得到16.8分、6.4个篮板、6.4次助攻、1.4次抢断和0.8个盖帽，投篮命中率43.9%。

As a first-year rookie, even with the strict standard of the No. [-] pick in the draft, his performance is already quite good, slightly better than Chris Webber back then.

But Wang Dalin knows that this is far from the limit of the rookie James, after all, he is not the boss in this team yet.

Ricky Davis is of course the nominal boss of the Cavaliers. He and Wang Dalin were teammates when they were in the Heat three years ago, but they didn't come over to say hello.

Just this emotional intelligence... no wonder he will be kicked out by the Cavaliers in the future.

If he could recognize the reality earlier and be the second master of "Young Zhan" with peace of mind, with his strength, would the Cavaliers still be able to send him away?

要知道就在上赛季，这厮可是场均20.3分4.9篮板5.5助攻1.6抢断0.6盖帽呢，妥妥的就是全明星级别啊！
还是说回这场比赛……四年级的王大林给一年级的詹姆斯好好地上了一课，他全场18投9中，其中三分球7投4中，罚球14投11中，砍下33分10篮板12助攻1盖帽，又是一个30+大号三双。

詹姆斯全场16投仅6中，其中三分球2投0中，罚球4投2中，只得到14分7篮板8助攻1盖帽……虽然防守和组织都做得不错，可进攻手感显然不太好。

如果不是里基.戴维斯砍下了27分4篮板3助攻4抢断2盖帽，这场比赛或许第四节一开始就会进入到垃圾时间。

However, Ricky Davis' outstanding performance was still in vain, because besides Wang Dalin who scored a 30+ large triple-double, there were five players in the Clippers who scored in double figures, so... In the end, the Clippers won the game with 111:99, celebrating their two-game winning streak.

Wang Dalin experienced 34 consecutive victories in the Pistons last season, so what is two consecutive victories?So he was very calm after the game. At the press conference, he said that the team has finally found a way to win, and they will get better and better.

It was also at this press conference that Wang Dalin announced to reporters for the first time the goal of the Clippers this season...that is to reach the playoffs!
The reporters did not doubt Wang Dalin's ability, but they still admired Wang Dalin's daring to speak out to the world at this moment.

The Clippers were almost at the bottom of the Western Conference last season, with a record of only 27 wins and 55 losses. Based on the situation in the Western Conference last season, if they can't win 45 games, it is almost impossible to advance to the playoffs.

Wang Dalin is indeed very strong, but the competition in the West is far stronger than in the East. It is not an easy task for the Clippers to win 45 or more games!
……

After playing the Cavaliers, the Clippers flew non-stop to Indianapolis, where they will play an away game against the Pacers, who just changed their head coach this summer.

This is another back-to-back game, and the opponent's record since the start of the new season is 8 wins and 2 losses, currently ranking first in the Eastern Conference... Rick Carlisle is worthy of being a tactical master at the NBA's historical level.

After several months of separation, Wang Dalin and Carlisle were very happy to see each other again.

After the two warmly embraced, Carlisle said with a smile: "Darling, I'm afraid your winning streak will be terminated by us tonight, so don't blame me!"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Coach Rick, it's not certain who will stop whose winning streak?"

Carlisle smiled and said, "Darling, you are still the same as before, always so stubborn!"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Let's go to each other... By the way, Ron of your team is very good. If we trade Corey for him, would you like it?"

Carlisle rolled his eyes at him and said, "You have a good idea! You want to change Ron... Corey is not enough alone, at least you need another first-round pick!"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call Elgin after tonight's game, don't you go back on your word?"

Carlisle hurriedly said, "Hey...the general manager of our team is Larry, so it doesn't matter if I say it!"

Wang Dalin laughed loudly and said, "Okay, then I'll ask Elgin to talk to Larry... I hope they don't mind the grievances between the Celtics and the Lakers in the past. If this deal is really facilitated, it will be good for both teams!"

Carlisle fell silent.

Wang Dalin was right. If the Clippers really traded Maggette for Artest, their defensive level would be raised by a notch immediately... As the players get more and more tacit, there will definitely be more than one notch in the future.

After the Pacers get Maggette, a powerful small forward who can average more than 20 points per game, their offensive firepower will definitely be stronger than it is now.

Although Carlisle is a head coach who emphasizes the balance of offense and defense, the Pacers are currently short of attackers... Reggie Miller is getting old, and the team's real offensive strength is only Jermaine O'Neal.

Of course, the Pacers' defensive strength will definitely decline after losing Artest, but if they can get Maggette, they can build a greater advantage from the offensive end.

To put it bluntly... Carlisle even has the confidence to lead this team directly to the finals!
Of course, these are just a small tidbit before the start of the game. Of course, the highlight is the duel between Wang Dalin and Carlisle, the "former teacher and student".

For such a game full of gimmicks, the NBA has of course arranged a nationwide live broadcast. In the TNT live broadcast room, Smith and Barkley are already in place.

"Charles, most of the fans are still optimistic about the Pacers tonight, what do you think?"

"How can I see it? Of course I support Darling-Wang. The Clippers must win this game tonight, and Darling-Wang must win!"

"Hahaha... I knew you would say that, so I have prepared a bet, are you interested?"

"What bet?"

"I bet on the Pacers to win, you bet on the Clippers to win, and if you lose, let me kick your ass hard, and it's the same if I lose... Do you dare to bet?"

"No way...Kenny, is this the level of bet you want? It's too simple and rude, isn't it?"

"You don't care if I'm simple and rude, just tell me if you dare to bet?"

"What dare I not bet? I'm afraid that if you lose, I'll kick you to the hospital!"

"I'm not afraid, you're afraid of wool... Then we've made a deal, whoever loses is ready to get kicked in the ass!"

……

On the playing field, the starting players of both sides are already in place.

The Pacers' starting five are point guard Kenny Anderson, shooting guard Reggie Miller, small forward Ron Artest, power forward Jermaine O'Neal, and center Jeff Foster.

The Clippers sent their regular starting lineup, namely point guard Marko Jaric, shooting guard Quentin Richardson, small forward Corey Maggette, power forward Wang Dalin, and center Alonzo Mourning.

In fact, Coach Deng Levy considered letting Wang Dalin play the third position. With his powerful attack power, it might not be possible to completely defeat Artest, the opponent's strongest defender.

However, considering that the Pacers' strongest point of attack is Jermaine O'Neal at the [-]th position, if Wang Dalin plays the [-]rd position, the rest of the Clippers will probably be overwhelmed by him, so he decided to let Wang Dalin play against him after thinking about the [-]rd position.

With the whistle of the referee, the game finally started...
