Chapter 267 Victory in the First Battle
The Clippers have a neat lineup, and most of the main players have been running in for a whole season, and their tacit understanding is already quite ideal.

In Wang Dalin's opinion, the current good chemistry of the Clippers should be no worse than that of the Pistons in the 2001-2002 season.

You know...the Pistons were the championship that season!
Of course, in terms of strength on paper alone, the Pistons that season were even stronger than last season. After all, they had "Second Brother" Billups that season, and last season they were replaced by Jeff McInnis.

A core point guard like Jeff McGinnis is at best slightly stronger than Derek Fisher, and he is no match for "Second Brother" at all!
For example, this season, "Second Brother" has gradually replaced Jamison in the Warriors and has become the leader of this team.

This is not nonsense, but Jamison himself admitted it!
He once accepted an interview with a reporter in the middle of the season. In the interview, he clearly said this-"Chauncey is the kind of natural leader, and you can't help but admire him...We will definitely unite as one and hit the championship together!"

The "former boss of the team" has already convinced the "second brother", not to mention the two younger brothers Jason Richardson and Yao Ming?

How could Yao Ming improve so fast without the words and deeds of his big brother, Billups?
To be honest, even if Yao Ming enters the league and is next to Wang Dalin, it will probably be like this after two seasons. It can be seen how much Billups has helped him?

The same is true for Artest, who is currently in the Clippers.

他上个赛季场均只有15.5分5.2篮板2.9助攻2.3抢断0.7盖帽，投篮命中率42.8%，三分命中率33.6%。

本赛季他的场均数据已经达到21.2分5.8篮板4.1助攻2.8抢断0.9盖帽，投篮命中率48.7%，三分命中率38.6%，比原本历史中可是强多了！

If he didn't come to the Clippers at the beginning of the season and stayed with the Pacers, he would probably go on the old path of history... This season, he averaged 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.1 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, and won the DPOY award.

Then he experienced the "Auburn Hills Palace incident" early next season, was suspended for almost an entire season, and never reached his true peak.

Therefore, Artest didn't know... In fact, Wang Dalin saved him in a disguised form, and helped him take a solid step towards his peak state.

For Artest, what he wants to do the most right now is to play hard in the playoffs with Wang Dalin, regardless of where he can go in the end, anyway, he will do his best in every game.

There is one more person - Quentin Richardson!

This season, he missed many games due to injury, but after returning at the end of the season, he is in a very good state, especially the three-pointers are more accurate than before, and even reached more than 6% in the last 50 games!

Having him in the Clippers' starting lineup means that Wang Dalin is more comfortable in mid-range and low-post attacks. As long as the opponent dares to double-team him, he can pass the ball to the outside.

This tactic works especially well when Wang Dalin plays center, because the old Dunleavy will also send Korver in this lineup.

The opponent has two fierce players with a 40-point shooting rate of over 38.6% at the same time, plus Artest with a 37.5-point shooting rate of [-]% and Eddie House with a [-]% three-point shooting rate... Do you still dare to double-team Wang Dalin?
In the final stage of the regular season, the Clippers let the entire league see the power of the three-point shot... When all five players on the field can shoot three-pointers, no matter what defensive tactics you adopt, you will inevitably lose sight of one another.

Just like the "cosmic brave" in the small ball era of later generations, when Steve Kerr offered up the "Death Five" lineup, who should you focus on defending?
Against Curry?Thompson can vote too!

Against Curry and Thompson?Durant can vote too!

Against Durant?

Hehe... Are you thinking too much?

Although "Du Xiaoshuai" has a very strong "dirty spirit" off the court, as soon as he arrives on the court, he will transform into the terrifying "Grim Reaper". Who in the entire league can really guard against him?
Defense is definitely impossible, so it is better to send someone to stalk him, and when his physical fitness declines in the second half of the fourth quarter, his efficiency will naturally be greatly reduced.

When he was still the boss of the Thunder team, other teams targeted him like this, and sometimes it really achieved good results!
But in "Universal Bravery"...is it really dead to be a "primary school student" and "Tang Shen"?

As long as one of these two initiates power, it is probably enough for most teams to drink a pot!

I'm afraid that before you exhaust Durant's physical energy, you are already [-] or [-] points behind, right?
Therefore, in Wang Dalin's previous life, he always felt resentful towards this kind of super team with three or even four All-Star players... With your lineup, how the hell do you let other teams play?
If you want to hold a group, at least you have to wait until the end of the peak period, right?

Or just pick a few high-quality rookies and train them yourself?
Speaking of the draft... the NCAA season has come to an end, with the "March Madness," the "Sweet Sixteen," and the Final Four finale culminating in UConn's championship.

The MOP was obtained by Emeka Okafor of the University of Connecticut. This promising center was born on September 1982, 9, and his hometown is in Houston. He is currently the biggest favorite of the No. 28 pick.

However, Wang Dalin knew that Okafor would not be the No. 18 pick. Of course, the No. [-] pick would be the [-]-year-old high school student Dwight Howard... Uh, the man who claims to be "able to replace LeBron alone" in the future!

At present, what the Clippers lack most is an excellent point guard. Regardless of Marko Jaric or Eddie House, both of them can only be regarded as the main backup level, and it is almost meaningless to be the core point guard.

With the record of the Clippers, it is impossible to pick a rookie in the lottery, so "Baylor" has been paying attention to several rookies at the end of the first round recently, such as the small point guard Jameer Nelson from St. Joseph University, and his teammate Delonte West.

But Wang Dalin offered him another option, that is defender Tony Allen from Oklahoma State University!

First of all, Wang Dalin didn't believe that the Clippers could select Jamison with the No. 24 pick in the first round. No matter what he said, he was the star of the team that led the team to the NCAA quarterfinals. He also won the player of the year, the Naismith Award and the Wooden Award.

If he hadn't come to the draft because he finished his senior year, he would probably be in the lottery!
Secondly, Wang Dalin doesn't like Delonte West very much... Although this guy has a good defense and a good three-pointer, he will suffer from bipolar disorder in the future.

This kind of disease can come at any time, who the hell wants to have such a teammate by his side?

Tony Allen is different!

Although his main position in college is shooting guard, he is not incapable of playing the role of the team's core point guard... At least in the Clippers, this idea is absolutely feasible!

With Wang Dalin's strong organizational skills, where does the Clippers need an excellent traditional point guard?
There is one thing to say, the most suitable for the Clippers at present must be an offensive point guard, so as to maximize Wang Dalin's organizational ability.

In this way, instead of thinking about Jamison unrealistically, it is better to choose Tony Allen. At least... His defense is at the level of NBA history. Even the "Du Xiaoshuai" of later generations was almost collapsed by him!

Moreover, Wang Dalin, a "senior fan", knows very well that if it wasn't for the dunk in 2007, how could Tony Allen have suffered a severe injury to the anterior cruciate ligament of his knee?

If it hadn't been for the serious injury that affected the nervous system, how could he gradually lose his good shooting touch?
This can be seen from his career statistics!

In the first two seasons of his career, his three-point shooting rate was 35.4%, but after the serious injury, he plummeted rapidly, and his three-point shooting rate in the next 12 seasons of his career was only 26.9%.

So although Tony Allen is a historic perimeter defender, he failed to become the top "3D player" in the league. I'm afraid this should be the most regrettable thing in his career, right?

If he hadn't dunked that basket then, who knows how high he would be in the future?
At the very least... better than the defensive expert in the original history, right?

Wang Dalin has already put forward his own proposals for the draft, and in the end it is up to "Lord Baylor" to make a decision. The most important thing for him now is to lead the team to defeat the Kings... This task does not seem to be easy!
In the past few years, the Kings have always been the most powerful team in the West, especially in the 2001-2002 season, they played 7 games against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, showing an extremely strong will to fight.

Three years later, the Kings made it to the playoffs again. They still retained the main lineup that made it to the Western Conference Finals at that time, and Peja Stojakovic was even stronger than then!
This season, Peja averaged 24.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.2 blocks per game. He shot 48% from the field and 43.3% from the three-point range.

At present, among all the small forwards in the entire Western Conference, only Artest can be compared with him, and even in terms of statistics, Artest is slightly inferior to him.

Therefore, in the first round of the playoffs, in addition to keeping an eye on Chris Webber, the Clippers must always pay attention to Peja, a sharp knife on the outside.

The G1 battle between the two sides officially started on the evening of April 4.

At the beginning of the game, the Kings opened up the situation through various skillful cooperation, especially Chris Webber and Brad Miller took turns supporting in the high post, and Bibby made consecutive mid-range hits through the cover movement.

However, the Clippers quickly retaliated. Wang Dalin continued to attack the basket with the ball, and directly beat Brad Miller to two fouls and went off to rest.

国王队主教练里克.阿德尔曼换上了维拉蒂.迪瓦茨，这位已经年满36岁的塞黑中锋本赛季常规赛场均9.9分5.7篮板5.3助攻0.7抢断1盖帽，作为一名替补中锋来说已经相当不错。

Moreover, he is 216cm tall and weighs 110KG, and his ability to protect the inner frame is no less than that of Brad Miller.

But that's all... After all, his current opponent is Wang Dalin!
If the old Dunleavy continues to reuse Alonzo Mourning, Divac may really have a good effect.

First of all, he will not attack too much in the interior now, but will support a lot in high positions.

Secondly... Mourning really can't impress Divac with his size!

But how could Wang Dalin not impress him?

If Wang Dalin launches an attack from the outside, Divac will not dare to defend at all, otherwise he can easily break through with just one step, as easy as walking on the road in the early morning!
If Wang Dalin makes a strong attack inside, with his current strength of 93, Divac can't stand it no matter how old he is!

Besides, Wang Dalin is not the kind of big center who can only rely on his body to dominate under the basket. His "dream dance" is currently the only one in the league!
Not to mention Divac, even O'Neill may not be able to take advantage of the interior match!

So after Divac played, not only failed to make the Kings recover, but became the biggest defensive black hole on the field. The Clippers took the opportunity to play a 10:2 spurt and finally opened the score.

In the second quarter, Adelman replaced Brad Miller again. He hoped that this excellent center, who averaged 14.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks per game this season, could have a blast with Wang Dalin on the offensive end. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by Wang Dalin twice after he came on the court, and he was too scared to shoot.

Wang Dalin dealt cards in high positions many times. Artest, Richardson, Korver, House and others frequently attacked successfully with his assists, and the point difference between the two sides became wider and wider.

At the end of the first half, the Clippers led by as many as 61 points 47:14, and the Kings were about to be beaten and collapsed.

After the start of the third quarter, the Kings adjusted their strategy and focused their offense on Weber.

The power forward, who has been selected to the All-Star team for five consecutive years, finally showed his strong strength. He first scored two consecutive goals in the interior, and then made consecutive hits at the free throw line, leading the Kings to an 5:8 spurt.

During this period of time, Wang Dalin's hands were a bit cold, and he failed to make three mid-range and long-range shots in a row, so he adjusted his strategy in time and strengthened his inside attack.

The situation was quickly turned around by Wang Dalin, who played impressively inside. Miller, Weber and Divac took turns defending him from the Kings, but it was still useless. Instead, he fouled him twice.

As Wang Dalin became more and more courageous in the battle, the rest of the Clippers were getting better and better... From this moment on, the game lost its suspense.

In the end, the Clippers defeated the Kings 115:102 and won the G1 game away.

王大林全场19投12中，其中三分球6投2中，罚球11投10中，砍下36分15篮板11助攻2抢断4盖帽，表现猛的一批。

“二当家”阿泰斯特也有不俗表现，他全场17投9中，其中三分球5投2中，罚球6投5中，得到25分5篮板3助攻3抢断。

After winning the game, Matt Barnes proposed to go to a nightclub to "relax", but was directly reprimanded by old Dunleavy and Wang Dalin.

Are you kidding me?

Now he just won a game, so what's the fuss about?
If the Kings were swept out 4:0, it would be more or less to go to a nightclub to "relax" at that time!
But Wang Dalin did not dare to be blindly optimistic, including the old Deng Levy.

The Clippers have played very well in this game, but the Kings have not played their full strength at all. If Webber, Peja, Bibby, Christie, Miller and Divac play their full strength, it is still uncertain who will win and who will lose!
