Chapter 264 The A+ star who is closest to the S rank

In the 80s or 90s, there were many players in the NBA who were qualified to be dubbed "Iron Man", such as Wang Dalin's big brother Alonzo Mourning, or Karl Malone who only missed 13 games in the first 5 years of his career. They are all representatives of this type of players.

But if someone has studied it specifically, they will know that their average playing time is far inferior to Allen Iverson. The "answer" average playing time in the regular season of his entire career is as high as 41.1 minutes, which is second only to "Ancient Data King" Wilt Chamberlain and "Baylor Lord" Elgin Baylor in NBA history.

In other words... Since the NBA began to comprehensively count various data in the 1983-1984 season, Iverson is the real "model worker" of the league!
Although he missed a lot due to injury, he averaged a lot of playing time per game!

Even for Kobe, the famous "physical monster", his average playing time in his entire career is only "only" 36.1 minutes, which is 4 minutes less than Iverson!

What is the concept of 4 minutes?
To give an example-Sun Yue, a famous Chinese basketball player, averaged only 2.8 minutes per game in the only season he played in the NBA, which is less than 4 minutes!
Another example-in the same city battle between the Lakers and the Clippers, Kobe and Wang Dalin staged the most exciting scoring confrontation of the season in the last 4 minutes of the first quarter.

Among them, Kobe took all 7 shots of the Lakers, and scored all 7 shots, scoring a total of 15 points... Uh, one of them was a three-pointer!
Wang Dalin also took all 7 shots of the Clippers, and he also scored all 7 shots... Because of two three-pointers, he scored 16 points, 1 more than Kobe!
Both of them made all 6 shots in a row, and the defense they faced was comparable to the playoffs. This difficulty can be imagined.

Kobe not only showed his increasingly stable backside fadeaway jumper, but also hit that ultra-difficult fadeback three-pointer in front of Wang Dalin.

In contrast, Wang Dalin's scoring difficulty is still slightly lower. After all, his height ensures that he has a better vision, and his shooting is less likely to be blocked or interfered with. Moreover, his strong core strength now also allows him to maintain a better body posture in the confrontation.

In addition, although Kobe's shooting is more accurate than before in time and space, especially the three-pointer, he is still inferior to Wang Dalin... To compete with Wang Dalin for three-pointers, there are probably only Ray Allen and Peja Stojakovic in the entire league, and they are obviously at a disadvantage.

The leading stars of the two teams contributed the ultimate scoring performance at the same time. Even in the All-Star Game, it is estimated that it is difficult to have such a wonderful and intense star confrontation scene, let alone the regular season with much higher defensive intensity?

The audience was all fascinated by watching, if it wasn't for the end of the first quarter, they even hoped to watch it forever.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

Even Barkley, the most die-hard "Darling fan", couldn't help but praise Kobe's performance: "Kobe is really amazing. He even started this level of confrontation with Darling again. This reminds me of the 2002 finals, when they both scored 70+ in a single game!"

Of course, after praising Kobe, he did not forget to praise his good brother Wang Dalin: "But it's the same as that time, even though Kobe has performed perfectly, Kobe is still the stronger one...he will never lose this kind of confrontation!"

Smith couldn't help but nodded and said, "I have to admit that you are right this time. Darling is indeed too powerful. I don't think anyone is willing to admit that he is No.1 in the league, right?"

In fact, the topic of whether Wang Dalin is No.1 in the league has long been raised, but because of his status as a Chinese player, almost everyone in the league deliberately avoided talking about this issue.

During TNT's live broadcast, Barkley always supported Wang Dalin, but people generally regarded this situation as his own self-indulgence.

But now Smith has thrown out this argument, and tens of millions of TV viewers across the United States have witnessed and heard it... It is conceivable that this topic will be on the headlines of major media tomorrow, and people from all sides in the alliance will also express their views on this topic.

Wang Dalin didn't know that Smith had pushed himself to the top of the limelight, and he didn't know what kind of terrifying wave of public opinion would appear tomorrow morning. He was just sitting quietly on the chair, exuding a terrifying murderous aura from his body.

This murderous aura was so strong, almost like substance, that even Artest, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help shivering.

It was the first time for him to see Wang Dalin's performance on the court with his own eyes, and he couldn't help feeling very grateful that he and him were teammates rather than opponents.

In the first 8 minutes of the first quarter, he was in a panic defending Kobe. If he were to defend Wang Dalin in this state, it is estimated that such a nervous guy might collapse on the spot.

Before, he didn't believe that there was anyone in the world that he couldn't defend, and he really had the right to be so confident, but tonight's game finally made him realize the reality... No matter how good a defensive player you are, scoring machines like Kobe and Wang Dalin, you really can't help it!

It was the summer of 1999 when he entered the league. At that time, Jordan had retired, so he did not have the opportunity to have a head-to-head confrontation with the peak Jordan.

If he could enter the league two years earlier, perhaps the "old hooligan" would have made him realize this reality long ago.

No matter how today's NBA preaches the tune of "defense wins championships", in fact, the real superstars are more offensive players.

For example, Kobe, O'Neal, Duncan, Iverson, James, Anthony, Durant, Curry, Harden... It's not that they are not good at defense. For example, Kobe, Duncan, O'Neal and James are all defensive players who can be selected for the best defensive team, but obviously they are better at offense.

Some people say it's wrong, "Duncan"'s offense doesn't seem to be that strong, does it?

Being able to say something like this shows that you don't understand "Deng Daida" at all. In his peak period, among all the inside players in the entire league, it is estimated that O'Neal can barely overwhelm him on the offensive end, right?
Note...it is "estimated", not "certain"!
A purely defensive player can never become the protagonist of the league, even if you are a DPOY!

This can be seen from their income... O'Neill, Kobe and others can get a maximum salary of more than 2000 million US dollars a year, while Da Ben's 1000 million US dollars a year has been recognized as a premium contract. As for the income of commercial endorsements, the gap between them is even greater.

In the small ball era of later generations, because the league encourages offense more, players who can only defend are gradually eliminated by the era. For example, Ryan Bowen of the Rockets back then was a representative figure of such players.

Of course, Ryan Bowen knows nothing but defense. If he hadn't met Jeff Van Gundy, the "Chief Executive of the Mediterranean Special Administrative Region", he probably wouldn't have had the chance to play in the NBA.

After the start of the second quarter, Kobe was put on the bench by Jackson, and there were three full quarters left in the game. He didn't want to fuck Kobe too hard.

O'Neal went into battle again, and Payton appeared on the court with him. After all, he is not yet 36 years old, 5 years younger than Malone, and his physical fitness is still slightly better.

The Clippers have also slightly adjusted their lineup. The tank center Melvin Eli, who has only played in 7 games this season, made his debut... The main reason is that the Lakers have O'Neal. Isn't a tank center like Eli just to deal with O'Neal?
In fact, the Clippers originally had a stronger Pedrag Drobiac, but unfortunately his injury has not healed yet, and now only Eli is left as a backup center.

One sentence - "If you don't go now, when will you wait?"

There is another sentence - "Anyway, there is no one else, who will you if you don't?"

Eli is a rookie with a barefoot height of 206cm, a height of 208cm with shoes on, a weight of 108kg, a wingspan of 223cm, an in-situ touch height of 282cm, an in-situ jump height of 66cm, a maximum jump height of 74cm, and 84 reps of 7KG bench press... Obviously, his static talent is very good, but his dynamic talent is very average.

However, after entering the league, through hard training, he raised his weight to 118KG, gained a full 20 pounds of muscle, and successfully made himself the most popular meat shield center in the league today.

Now that so many muscles have been added, his strength is of course impossible to remain the same as that of the rookie side... 1KG bench press can only be done 84 times in 7 minute, one can imagine how strong his hips were at that time.

Wang Dalin's strength was only in his early 50s back then, and the bench press was not as bad as him, right?

Fortunately, Eli's current strength is quite good. According to Wang Dalin's judgment, his strength should have reached his early 80s, which is enough to be a meat shield center forward.

Anyway, the old Dunleavy didn't expect him to be able to defend O'Neal. As long as he can resist a little inside and foul O'Neal at the right time, he will have completed his task...Anyway, this is how the tank centers of all teams in the league deal with O'Neal.

After Eli played, Wang Dalin returned to the power forward position.

Old Deng Levy originally wanted him to leave the court to rest for a while, but Wang Dalin insisted on continuing to play, so the old man had no choice but to let him go.

In other games, he can "keep his health" a little bit, but not tonight... This game has two tasks related to him, how could he be willing to rest easily?

Besides, playing against Devin George in singles with his size is a big misalignment... If he is in a good mood, he will make some fake moves before shooting, and if he is in a bad mood, he will directly fight against the defense. What can George do?

Although there are only four S-level superstars in the league, O'Neal, Duncan, Kobe, and Iverson, there are at least a dozen A+-level stars.For example, McGrady, Nowitzki, Garnett, Pierce, Carter, Kidd, etc., they are all A+ stars.

Of course, Wang Dalin is currently at the A+ level, and his comprehensive ability value has already reached 94, which is only a thin line away from the S-level superstar.

However, since the second season, he has defeated S-level superstars O'Neal, Duncan, Iverson and Kobe many times, not only winning personal data, but also leading the team to beat the opponent's team.

So his current real combat power is no longer below the S-rank superstar, as long as he completes the advanced task, he will be promoted to S-rank immediately... and it is a super S-rank that can stand proudly in the entire league!
……

The game was still going on fiercely. Since Kobe was not on the court, the Lakers' offensive focus naturally fell to O'Neal.

Eli tried his best to stop O'Neal from entering the basket, but he still caused a lot of trouble for O'Neal... It's very simple, just "cut the shark" if you can't stop it!

Anyway, he is a bench player, so what if 6 fouls leave the field?

Conversely, if he really used fouls to prevent O'Neal from attacking the basket 6 times, then he would have made great contributions to the Clippers!
O'Neal was displeased when he got to the free-throw line, because he felt that his free-throw touch tonight was poor, and he missed two free throws in the first quarter.

His feel was spot on... He made just one of six free throws from the free throw line in the second quarter, which was worse than his usual average.

Wang Dalin took the opportunity to lead the team to a small climax of 10:3. By the time Kobe Bryant reappeared, the Clippers had already led by 8 points.

This scene clearly exposed how poor Phil Jackson's on-the-spot adaptability is... If he had replaced Kobe earlier, how could the Lakers have fallen into such a predicament?
Now that Kobe is back on the stage, Old Dunleavy naturally replaced Artest, and he replaced all the starting five tigers.

He is also determined to win this game, so even if he is a "hard-fucking main force", he will not hesitate... The Lakers are one of his old clubs, so how could he be willing to lose to the opponent?
Kobe hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, closing the score to 5 points.

But Wang Dalin immediately returned him a three-pointer tit for tat, and opened the point difference to 8 points.

The two once again launched a star confrontation, and even directly faced each other.

Kobe's defensive attitude and defensive skills are definitely the highest in the Lakers. Even though he is not as tall as Malone, nor as strong as him, his perimeter defense is better. After all, his footsteps are much faster than Malone.

Wang Dalin's outside attack became a bit difficult, so he immediately changed his style of play and turned to the middle distance to ask for the ball with his back.

Since it is difficult to break through Kobe's line of defense, he can simply attack with his back. Anyway, Kobe's height is only 198cm, and it is impossible to prevent his turnaround jumper.

Lao Malone tried to come over to help defend several times, but Wang Dalin could always pass the ball to Artest who he missed at the most appropriate time, scaring him so much that he didn't dare to come to double-team easily.

O'Neill let go of Wang Zhizhi several times and came to double-team. He is huge and active in defense, and Wang Dalin couldn't clearly see Wang Zhizhi's position.

But Wang Dalin was already red-eyed at this time, and he directly forcibly shot in the face of double-teaming, and his hit rate was not low at all!

Wang Dalin, the A+ star who is closest to the S-level, actually suppressed two S-level superstars at the same time, which is also a strange scene in the NBA, right?
