Chapter 258
"Death Coil (S-level): The unique skill of the legendary Los Angeles Clippers superstar Kawhi Leonard, this skill can be activated freely."

“使用效果：阻挡对手突破几率提升30%-50%，迫使对手掉球失误几率提升15%-30%，抢断成功后可在90秒内提升全体队友士气8%-15%。”

“装配该技能最低要求：外线防守90、抢断90、横向敏捷80、速度80、力量80、体力90。”

"Note: 1. This skill can only be used 5 times per game; 2. The effect is better for those with a wingspan greater than 15cm tall!"

This is the S-level star skill that Wang Dalin drew this time, which comes from the stunt of the later "Xiaoka"... Wang Dalin still remembers that he used this trick to make the "Emperor Zhan" at his peak miserable many times.

There are many people who don't like Leonard and think he is too scheming. For example, in the summer of 2019, he swayed James and the Lakers, successfully delaying the opponent's offseason reinforcements.

From his point of view... Now that he has decided to join the Clippers, it is very reasonable for him to cause trouble for his rivals in the same city. He never tires of cheating!
In any case, Leonard's strength is still very strong, especially his defense, which can definitely be called the No.1 striker position. This "death coil" is exactly the defensive stunt he is famous for.

In fact, Michael Jordan often used this trick in games back then, but people hadn't given this trick a name at that time, so it was indeed the "scheming card" that really carried forward this trick.

Someone said it was wrong?

Jordan is 198cm tall and has a wingspan of 212cm. It seems that it does not meet the setting of "the wingspan is greater than the height of 15cm or more, and the use effect is better", right?
In fact, Jordan's barefoot height is only 195CM-196CM, and 198CM is his height after wearing shoes, so his wingspan must be greater than 15CM.

For Wang Dalin, who is 211cm tall and has a wingspan of 231cm, this move is perfect for him...Compared to wingspan, how many people in the entire league can be stronger than him?

A long time ago, some people thought that Wang Dalin's figure seemed deformed... His wingspan was longer than Durant's, so was his body shape uglier than Durant's?
In fact, his figure is not ugly, but rather well-proportioned.

First, his height of 211CM is barefoot height, and after wearing shoes, he is about 213CM-214CM;
Second, his weight has increased slightly every year, and he has gained 113KG so far this season. Simply put, he is getting stronger and stronger;

Third, the arm span is not only the length of the arms, but also the body part, that is, the shoulder width... Wang Dalin's shoulder width is quite excellent, much wider than Durant's;
Fourth, the length of the palm is also included in the arm span. In this regard, Wang Dalin is also better than Durant, so his arm length is not as abnormal as Durant;
Fifth, Wang Dalin's arms are much thicker than Durant's hemp-like arms, so they must look more coordinated.

To put it simply, his body shape is not at all like Durant, but a bit like the "Antetokounmpo" of later generations.

Of course, "Antetokounmpo" doesn't have a bad reputation at all, but in terms of size alone...it's pretty good!
2月16日休息了一天，2月17日快船全员提前飞到了波特兰，2月18日晚他们将在这里客场挑战开拓者队。

After playing this game, they had to return to the home court to face the Celtics on the evening of February 2th... Another set of back-to-back!

Because of the All-Star Weekend in February, each team will have fewer games. For example, the Clippers only have 2 games this month, but they still have two groups to play back to back, and it may not be much easier.

In particular, Wang Dalin and Artest did not get a rest during the All-Star Weekend. It is really a question of whether they can maintain their state after returning to the regular season.

2月18日晚阿泰斯特果然拉胯了，他全场18投仅6投，其中三分球4投全失，加上罚球也只得到15分5篮板3助攻1抢断。

王大林全场19投11中，其中三分球9投4中，罚球9投9中，砍下35分13篮板10助攻2抢断2盖帽的大号三双，还是无法率队战胜开拓者队。

Losing one or two games in the regular season is actually not a big deal, but Quentin Richardson's sudden injury and departure in the fourth quarter of the game was what caused the old Dunleavy the most headache.

He sprained his ankle when he landed on a rebound. It looked serious, because his ankle was already swollen on the spot, but he didn't know if he had injured any bones.

In the early morning of February 2, the hospital's examination report was freshly released-Quentin's left ankle was sprained at the second level, and he needed to recuperate for 19-2 weeks or even longer.

Considering that Bobby Simmons and Pedrag Drobiak have not yet returned from injury, Quentin's injury is tantamount to worse for the Clippers.

Simmons and Drobiak are just substitutes, but Quentin is the starting shooting guard, and with his strength, he is basically the third player in the team.

Before the injury, Quentin averaged 16.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1 steal per game. No one on the Clippers bench could fill his vacancy.

Korver may be able to mature a little more if he plays for a few more years, but he is only a first-year rookie, how can he take on this important task?
So the old Dunleavy has already planned. Of course, Korver can only be used as the second position starter, and Eddie House and Matt Barnes will be the substitutes.

The schedule for the next period of time will undoubtedly be particularly difficult for the Clippers. Old Deng Levy also talked to Wang Dalin and Artest alone, and made it clear that they would increase their playing time.

This is also a helpless move. Fortunately, Artest's physical fitness is quite good, and Wang Dalin's physical strength of 94 belongs to the level of "physical monster". A little increase in playing time is of course not a big problem.

As the saying goes, "Fortune never comes, misfortune never comes singly." In the game against the Celtics on the night of February 2, Mourning was injured again!

In fact, the old Deng Levy has been very cautious in using Mourning this season, but if he can't stand him, there is a big risk of injury. Day defense and night defense still haven't escaped the fate of injury.

He also suffered a second-degree ankle sprain while grabbing rebounds. At his age, the recovery period is of course much longer than Quentin's. At least a month, right?
In desperation, the old Deng Levy had no choice but to push Wang Zhizhi up, and the effect was surprisingly good.

Originally, Wang Zhizhi and Wang Dalin often played some cooperation when they were in the national team, and Wang Zhizhi is also a big player who can shoot suddenly. He and Wang Dalin's pick-and-roll is very powerful.

In order to cooperate with Wang Zhizhi, Wang Dalin will cut in most of the pick-and-rolls for him. Of course, the opponent's defensive attention is more inclined to him. Wang Zhizhi has a chance to shoot from the outside.

Although Wang Zhizhi's three-point shooting is not as accurate as Wang Dalin's, as long as you dare to let him go, he will really dare to score, so after a few shots, the opponent will fall into a dilemma.

With Wang Dalin's powerful impact, if he doesn't double-team him, even if he can block him, he will probably pay the price of a foul... But Wang Zhizhi really can't let go!

这场比赛快船以109:89赢了凯尔特人整整20分，其中王治致全场9投5中砍下14分5篮板2助攻，表现相当不俗。

当然，王大林依旧还是全场最靓的那个仔，他全场20投13中，其中三分球9投5中，罚球10投10中，砍下了41分15篮板11助攻4抢断4盖帽，又是一个40+大号三双。

阿泰斯特本场比赛的上场时间达到了43分钟，得到22分7篮板4助攻3抢断1盖帽，继前一晚状态低迷后终于恢复了正常。

Then the Clippers beat the Bucks away on February 2 with a score of 21:105.

王大林砍下41分16篮板14助攻2抢断2盖帽，再次轰出了40+大号三双。而阿泰斯特也砍下24分6篮板2助攻4抢断1盖帽，继续保持了良好状态。

After defeating the Bucks, the Clippers have a record of 31 wins and 23 losses this season, and have successfully surpassed the Grizzlies to rise to sixth in the West.

Speaking of which, the Grizzlies are really unlucky. After the All-Star break, they suffered a three-game losing streak.

Losing to a western powerhouse like the Mavericks is understandable, but they can even lose to the Suns and the Bulls...these two are the second-to-last in the East and the second-to-last in the West.

However, the Clippers did not last long. They had just experienced two consecutive victories, and then stumbled on the Mavericks... In fact, it is not a "fumble", after all, the overall strength of the Mavericks is indeed above them.

本场比赛王大林的状态稍有下滑，不过他依旧保持了很高的攻防效率，全场24投13中，其中三分球12投5中，罚球10投9中，砍下40分12篮板9助攻2抢断3盖帽。

The main reason for the loss is that Artest was injured at the last moment of the game... Well, you read that right, the Clippers injured another main player, and he is still the second leader of the team!

Artest also sprained his ankle during the fight, and was limped off early by the team doctor and went to the hospital.

Artest's injury and retirement directly led to the Clippers' defeat at the last minute. They had hoped to overtake the score, but in the end they lost 109:115.

When the hospital's diagnosis report came out the next day, the Clippers finally breathed a sigh of relief. Artest's ankle was only a first-degree sprain. If the recovery is optimistic, he will be back in a week at the earliest.

Players were injured one after another, and Wang Dalin also paid more attention to this matter. For this reason, he had a private talk with old Deng Levy.

At such an extremely difficult time, he advised old Dunleavy not to place too much importance on winning or losing. He should arrange as many people as possible to enter the rotation and minimize the playing time of the main players.

If you continue to "fuck the main force" and hurt one or two more people, let alone how far you go in the playoffs, I am afraid that whether you can make it to the playoffs will be a problem.

Fortunately, Bobby Simmons is recovering very well, and it is estimated that he will be able to return within two days. His return will largely alleviate the team's lack of players in the second and third positions.

Drogbiak's knee injury is not optimistic. He has been recovering for more than a month, and he is still unable to perform high-intensity confrontation training.

When O'Neal was still at the end of his peak, NBA teams, especially Western teams, would deliberately prepare one or two meat shield centers, such as Eric Dampier in the current Mavericks.

Drobiak is also a typical tank center. He is 211cm tall and weighs 122KG. As a tank center, his size is of course very good, but the bad thing is his size.

Of course, the weight of 122KG will put a lot of pressure on the knee, which also seriously affects his recovery from the injury. If his weight is not so large, such as only about 110KG, he may have recovered by now.

Old Deng Levy is quite open-minded. He accepted Wang Dalin's suggestion and decided to increase the playing time of substitute players appropriately.

In the next two games, the Clippers defeated the Hornets and Knicks respectively.

这两场比赛王大林分别砍下了40分20篮板11助攻3抢断3盖帽和42分22篮板11助攻4抢断3盖帽……当球队连二当家都因伤无法出战的时候，他终于展示出了自己的全部实力！

NBA历史上砍下单场40+20数据的当然是大有人在，哪怕是1985年之后也有不少，比如克里斯韦伯在2001年1月5日对阵步行者队的时候，就曾砍下了51分26篮板5助攻3抢断2盖帽的逆天数据。

There are also "Big Dream" Olajuwon, "Gorilla" Ewing, "St. Moses" Moses Malone, "King of Kings" Larry Bird, "Big Mouth" Charles Barkley and others have all scored 40+20 in a single game.

"Shark" O'Neal even scored a super abnormal stat of 60+20 in a single game... Uh, it was the tragedy about the ticket!

40+20 in a single game is really awesome, but it's not so awesome that it's unprecedented. At least with Wang Dalin's current strength, it's not enough to surprise people with such statistics.

But looking at the entire history of the NBA, apart from those perverts such as Chamberlain and Russell in the "ancient times", no one in the league can score 40+20 in two consecutive games.

This time Wang Dalin has created a miracle of a small size, at least since entering the modern basketball era, he is the first person to achieve this feat!
On February 2, Wang Dalin was successfully elected as the best player in the Western Conference this week.

快船队这一周2胜1负的战绩并不拉胯，王大林场均41.7分18篮板10.3助攻3抢断3盖帽的数据更是傲视群雄。

In contrast, the data of the best player in the Eastern Conference this week is far worse.

他场均只有11.8分12.3篮板1.5助攻1.8抢断，不过场均盖帽竟然达到了4.8个，这点确实牛逼。

On February 2, the Clippers played against the Pistons at home.

This was the first time Wang Dalin played against his old club after leaving Detroit, so his mood was naturally mixed and extremely complicated.

When he left last summer, he had an unpleasant quarrel with the Pistons. Almost everyone knew about it, so this game immediately became the focus of attention of the entire North American sports world.

In order to better explain this game, TNT TV also temporarily invited "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan and "King of Kings" Larry Bird, together with Barkley and Smith, the "unknown cross talk combination", the commentary lineup is even stronger than this year's All-Star Game.

But Wang Dalin was a little bit worried... With the Clippers' current crippled formation, the second and third leaders couldn't play. With him alone, it's not easy to beat this Eastern powerhouse that has already won two consecutive championships.
　Thanks for the "flat" monthly ticket encouragement!
