Chapter 246 "Fantasy Dance Steps" Reappears

With Karl Malone's current physical condition, his original nimble and fast movement has disappeared, and what he relies on is nothing more than brute force and extremely rich game experience. Therefore, when Wang Dalin catches the ball with his back in the middle distance and wants to single-handedly hit him, he is quite happy in his heart.

If Wang Dalin wanted to attack him with the ball, it would basically be one shot at a time, but he was not afraid of this kind of back attack, at least it was impossible for Wang Dalin to push forward forcefully.

From Ma Long's point of view, his strength can definitely rank among the top in the entire league. Even if O'Neill wants to shake him in a short time, it will not be easy, let alone Wang Dalin?
But when Wang Dalin pushed back hard, Ma Long let out a muffled groan, and a look of horror appeared on his face...Damn it!Why is this guy so strong?
You must know that Karl Malone is known as "the most powerful power forward in NBA history". He has played in the league for nearly 20 years. Except for O'Neal, he has never convinced anyone in terms of strength.

Even though he is old and frail now, he thinks to himself that there will never be more than one hand in the alliance who can surpass him in strength, and there are at most seven or eight people who can match his strength.

Wang Dalin also sighed in his heart... "I thought that after wearing the 'Strength Bracelet', the strength of 93 should be invincible except for O'Neill. I didn't expect that even the 40-year-old Ma Long couldn't stand it. How strong should this guy be at his peak?"

In fact, he also overestimated Ma Long. Ma Long's strength is strong, but he is 40 years old after all, and it is impossible for him to still have the supernatural power of his youth.

If he pushes harder, Ma Long will be defeated on the spot with one or two hits at most, but he has long been impressed by Ma Long's astonishing power in his previous life, and he just hit it just now, so he miscalculated Ma Long's strength.

Since the road of brute force is not feasible, it is better to simply play with skills... Wang Dalin is very open-minded, after all, he never thought that he would play like O'Neal.

Wang Dalin shook his shoulders, then turned around and jumped back to the ball, his movements were handsome.

Ma Long tried his best to defend, but his height and wingspan were far worse than Wang Dalin's, and his jumping ability was getting worse... His hands didn't even cover Wang Dalin's face, so how could he disturb Wang Dalin?
The ball was scored without sloppiness, and the Nets didn't even touch it much.

Ma Long's face was like still water, but he couldn't help but feel a bit of the sadness of a hero's twilight... Humph!If I was young, wouldn't I really be unable to defend this ball?

But later, he thought about it carefully...it seemed that he really couldn't prevent it!
In the 80s and 90s, Ma Long's height of 206cm was definitely not short for the fourth position, and his wingspan of 214cm was already good, but it is not enough in today's era.

Chris Webber, who is currently the shortest among the "Four Power Forwards", is 208cm tall. Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Rasheed Wallace are all over 210cm tall.

Coupled with the fact that the "veteran driver" who is becoming more and more fierce nowadays is also a solid 213cm in height, the "standard height" of the league's power forwards has already improved a lot.

Some people say "the height is not enough to make up the speed"?

That's right, but now that Karl Malone is over [-] years old, how can he still have speed?

When encountering other opponents, he can still rely on his rich defensive experience, especially in the defensive position, but how dare he stay away from Wang Dalin?
Who doesn't know that Wang Dalin is best at shooting. As long as you stay a little far away from him, he can instantly make you lose face with his precise shooting.

Seeing that Ma Long's defense was completely unable to restrain Wang Dalin, Phil Jackson frowned slightly, and began to think about countermeasures in his mind——

"Switch Fox to defend?"

"No...he can't defend...he tried it last season!"

"How about... let Kobe defend him in a misplaced position?"

"In this case, Kobe's energy on the offensive end may not be enough, it is still a bit wrong!"

"what can we do about it?"

If Rick Carlisle is the current head coach of the Lakers, he would definitely arrange for Kobe, who has the strongest outside defensive ability, to defend Wang Dalin without hesitation. After all, most of Wang Dalin's offenses are still initiated from the outside.

As for the offensive end... Isn't there O'Neal?
With the inside configuration of the Clippers, who can stop O'Neal's indiscriminate bombing?
Mourning?
He couldn't prevent O'Neal at his peak, let alone now?

The head coach's inertial thinking determines his style. For example, Carlisle's style is to balance offense and defense, while Jackson is still more inclined to defense in the final analysis.

So when he encounters a problem, he always thinks about how to defend first, instead of finding a way to suppress the opponent with his powerful offensive firepower.

While he was thinking, O'Neal's inside attack finally scored.

This time Wang Dalin didn't have time to return to the basket to help defend because of Malone's restraint in the middle distance. Mourning really couldn't stop O'Neal's strong impact and retreated directly.

After more than 2 minutes in the first quarter, O'Neill scored his first goal of the game and felt relieved.

When it was the Clippers' turn to attack, Wang Dalin dealt the cards from a high position to Jarich.

Originally, this was a good opportunity, because Jaric had just run out of the open space under the cover of Artest, but after receiving the ball, he only made a slight adjustment, and Payton had already bypassed the cover and came back in front of him.

These years, most players always have the habit of adjusting after receiving the ball, especially European players like Jaric, they will always be more stable, but forget the truth that opportunities are fleeting, so an excellent catch and shooter like Hamilton is so rare.

"give me!"

Wang Dalin was a little angry, but he had to keep calm on the court, so he yelled at Jarich.

Jarich immediately passed the ball, but a black shadow leaped out like lightning and snatched the ball away.

It's Kobe!
He actually gave up on Quentin, who has an extremely accurate three-pointer, and ran directly to help defend Jaric?

After Kobe grabbed the ball, there was a smooth road ahead. How could he not show off at this time?
I saw him rushing to the frontcourt quickly, then slowed down slightly, stepped into the free throw line with both feet and immediately jumped high, turned 360 degrees in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket heavily with both hands.

This dunk was really wonderful, and the audience immediately burst into deafening cheers.

Wang Dalin couldn't help being speechless for a while...I said you audiences are enough!Today is the home court of our Clippers. You are so openly cheering for the Lakers, isn't it too bullying?

But Wang Dalin also had to admit that Kobe's dunk was indeed full of aesthetics... Although the take-off height was not very high, and the dunk strength could not be compared with that of Carter, Kobe's dunk had an indescribable sense of elegance, and the visual sense was absolutely perfect.

Kobe was very proud after dunking, waved to the audience repeatedly, and made a face at Wang Dalin when he ran back to his home halftime, which immediately made Wang Dalin very angry.

"Give me the ball!"

Jarich just dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Wang Dalin was already asking for the ball at the top of the three-point arc... He had to hit an "ANSWER-BALL" for this ball, otherwise, why would he call himself the boss of the Clippers?

After getting the ball, Wang Dalin raised his hand to call for Mourning to come over and make a pick and roll.

O'Neill stared at it with great reluctance, even if it was just a show, he had to show some thought, otherwise Wang Dalin would be able to shoot a three-pointer immediately through the pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, the defense has changed positions. Wang Dalin immediately broke through to the inside without hesitation. O'Neill hurriedly retreated to the defense. Unexpectedly, Wang Dalin just made a fake breakthrough. With O'Neal's retreat, Wang Dalin was completely cleared at the free throw line.

Seeing that Wang Dalin was about to collect the ball and shoot, O'Neill rushed out to defend again. Unexpectedly, Wang Dalin made another false move... This time he made a "worship to Buddha"!
"Damn it! It's terrible!" O'Neill couldn't catch up, and a wave of grass and mud horses rushed past him.

Wang Dalin rushed straight into the three-second zone, jumped high and performed a 360-degree turn, and then swung a half-circle with his right hand and dunked the ball fiercely into the basket.

There was a loud bang, as if the basket was about to be pulled down by him.

There was another deafening cheer at the scene... Even though the audience in the stands obviously had more Lakers fans, this did not prevent them from cheering for Wang Dalin's wonderful goal.

After all, this is still Los Angeles, and this arena is still called "Staples Center"...Darling-Wang's dunk is so wonderful, don't you want me to yell at you twice?

O'Neill's face was extremely ugly... Well, you Darling-King, why are you attacking Kobe for revenge, why are you attacking me?

In the next attack, O'Neal poured his anger on Mourning again, crushing into the basket with a two-handed dunk.

After the dunk, O'Neal took another iconic overlord step, which attracted bursts of applause and screams from the audience.

But soon he couldn't laugh anymore, because Wang Dalin really set his sights on him again, and even took the initiative to attack him again through the pick-and-roll.

Faced with Wang Dalin's dribble breakthrough, O'Neill almost used all his strength to keep up with him, but Wang Dalin immediately turned around and changed to a back attack.

O'Neill was startled and angry. He didn't expect Wang Dalin to be so arrogant and dare to attack with his back under his defense?
Since leading the team to win the championship for the first time in June 2000, except for that guy named Tim Duncan, very few people have dared to attack with their backs under O'Neal's top defense.

Wang Dalin dribbled the ball with his left hand, without sinking his right shoulder, and directly pushed O'Neal behind him.

With a "bang", O'Neill couldn't help but groaned, but his body just swayed, and he didn't retreat in the slightest.

Wang Dalin took advantage of the power of the rebound and turned back. He was about to shoot a fallback jumper. O'Neal stepped forward to defend without hesitation, but Wang Dalin was just a fake move. With his left foot as the axis, he took a step forward with his right foot to avoid O'Neal's block.

The moment the basketball entered the hoop, the enthusiasm in the entire arena was finally completely ignited. It wasn't until this moment that Wang Dalin felt that there was finally a bit of the atmosphere of the Clippers' home court here.

"Whoa...Kenny, did you see clearly? Is this 'Dream Dance'? Darling-Wang actually used Hakim's 'Dream Dance'?"

In the TNT live broadcast room, Barkley couldn't restrain his excitement any longer, and shouted directly.

Kobe Bryant and Wang Dalin both contributed wonderful 360-degree dunks in the mid-air. Although Smith was screaming with excitement, Barkley still looked normal and was not overly excited.

But this time he was really excited, er... it should be said that he climaxed directly on the spot!

Yes, compared with "Fantasy Dance", what's so strange about a 360-degree dunk with a mid-air twist?

Not to mention a lot of people in the league who can make this kind of slam dunk, there are at least ten or eight, right?
But since the "big dream" Hakeem Olajuwon retired, or after he is getting old, who else can play "dream dance steps" under the basket?

Who else?
O'Neill had an unbelievable expression on his face. If others don't know how powerful this move is, how can he not know?

Think back then, didn't that fellow Olajuwon use this trick of "dream dance" to make him turn around?

To say that the entire league has the most psychological shadow on "Fantasy Dance", except for "Admiral" David Robinson, I am afraid that he has to lose to O'Neill.

But... Daling Wang, when did he learn this trick?

In fact, Wang Dalin was quite surprised by the power of this move. After all, it was the first time he used this S-level star skill in a game tonight!

The first use made O'Neill, the number one center in the current league, deflated. Wang Dalin felt that he had lived up to the great reputation of "Fantasy Dance Step".

And this trick actually brought follow-up effects... Maybe it was shocked by the unique skill handed down for a long time. After the first quarter, O'Neal was always a little out of his mind, and his attack at the basket was actually blocked by Mourning.

Under the leadership of Wang Dalin, the Clippers became more and more powerful. Not only Quentin made two three-pointers from the outside, Artest also slipped to the bottom line several times and made layups.

Towards the end of the first quarter, even Jaric, who has never taken a lot of shots, beat Fisher, who came off the bench, through the pick-and-roll.

At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers led by 31 points at 26:5.

If it weren't for Kobe's high-efficiency output, with the Clippers' offensive momentum in the first quarter, it is entirely possible for the Lakers to fall behind by double digits.

In the first quarter, Kobe scored 11 points alone. This was done under the full coverage of the defensive champion Artest. The offensive firepower is indeed fierce.

不过王大林的进攻火力比他更猛，他单节就砍下了14分5篮板4助攻2抢断2盖帽，这个数据甚至比很多人的场均数据还要更高。

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides made some adjustments to the lineup.

The Lakers have already removed O'Neal, and replaced Malone and Payton, while the Clippers replaced Mourning, Jaric, Quentin and Artest, and replaced them with Wang Zhizhi, Eddie House, Kyle Korver and Bobby Simmons, leaving only Wang Dalin as the main player.

Compared to Matt Barnes, a brat, Dunleavy obviously prefers to use Bobby Simmons because he has a better defense and has a stronger impact on the offensive end.

During this period, Barnes was not the fierce outside defensive player of the later generations. He often behaved frizzy on the court, often lost his position in defense, and his mid-range and long-range shots were terrible.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Dalin significantly reduced his personal offense, and began to play the high-position card-handling routine again. The four substitutes who came on the bench for a while all acted like a god, and succeeded in attacking one after another.

Especially Wang Zhizhi, he made 4 of 5 shots in just 3 minutes, one of which was a three-pointer, which humiliated the Lakers' backup center Medvedenko.

Seeing that Wang Zhizhi can perform so well, Wang Dalin is of course very pleased... Anyway, he is going to pass the ball to his teammates, why not pass more to his brothers?
And Wang Zhizhi was able to convert his passes into assists again and again, which is really impressive.

It seems that after talking with Wang Dalin last time, Wang Zhizhi's mood has obviously improved a lot, and he has played more confidently on the court.

He has never lacked firepower on the offensive end, but his defense is a bit stretched, but... for a role like Medvedenko, what if the defense is not good?

When the main players of both sides appeared on the field again, the Lakers not only failed to narrow the point difference, but had already been stretched to double digits.

Probably because he calmed down completely during the off-court break. As soon as O'Neal came on the court, he immediately turned the Clippers' inside line into a storm. No matter how hard Mourning tried, he couldn't stop his inside attack.

And tonight O'Neal's free throws were quite accurate. By the middle of the second quarter, he had already made 6 of 5 shots. This also made Dunleavy completely give up the "shark-cutting tactic"... If he had to "kill the shark" tonight, it is estimated that the Clippers were hacked to death.

Seeing that the gap between the two sides narrowed little by little, Wang Dalin finally took over the game.

His various unsolvable shots made the opponent's defenders complain, and his breakthrough also made the opponent's so-called "defensive champion" lose face.

Phil Jackson arranged for Malone, Fox and Kobe to take turns defending Wang Dalin, but he couldn't restrain his attack. He had to signal Kobe and O'Neal to directly confront the star Wang Dalin.

The second quarter of this game was obviously much more exciting than the first quarter. After all, it was a confrontation, and it must be much more beautiful than a defensive battle... The audience would let out various exclamations and screams from time to time.

At the end of the first half, the Clippers still led by 65 points 62:3, but after returning from the halftime break, the Lakers' offense was raised to another level.

O'Neal and Kobe's offensive firepower remained the same, and Payton also began to frequently break through Jaric to get excellent offensive opportunities, and Malone also scored two goals from mid-range.

The "F4 combination" finally showed its true power. When they go all out, even if only three of the four show their power, few teams in the league can resist.

Besides, the four of them showed their power at the same time in this game. In this case, it is not polite...they are invincible!
But Wang Dalin didn't give up, or he couldn't give up... After all, he has a mission!

Since I can't guard against you, I might as well fight against you!

The four of you are great together, but in the end there is only one basketball, and you still have to give the ball to someone to complete the offense.

And I'm simple... I don't care who defends me, anyway, as long as I want to attack, none of you can stop it!
After a half-time evenly matched fierce coaching contest, the second half of this Los Angeles Derby really entered the fierce competition...
