am i proud?

Chapter 279
上半场王大林已经砍下24分10篮板6助攻2抢断1盖帽，他在各个领域都可以说是碾压了全场。

在他的盯防下，小奥尼尔半场只得到7分4篮板1助攻，哈灵顿更是只得到5分3篮板1助攻，两人数据加在一起也比不过王大林一个人。

Moreover, during the period when Wang Dalin played high-post cards, the Clippers players performed well, especially Korver and Richardson. Both of them made 2 three-pointers, almost completing their respective tasks in the game ahead of schedule.

You know...they averaged less than 2 three-pointers per game in the regular season this season!

There is also Artest, although he did not have too many outstanding performances on the offensive end in the first half, but on the defensive end he has a strong sense of presence, sending 4 steals and 1 block in the half.

As expected of DOPY this season, this defense is fierce!
No bragging, Artest was definitely the most powerful perimeter defender in the entire league during his peak period. Except for Kobe who had a little difficulty defending him, everyone else could basically accept them all.

When training in the team, he is also the one who defends Wang Dalin best... With Wang Dalin's current strength, he should be afraid of three points, let alone players like the Pacers?
During the intermission, the old Dunleavy did not arrange too many tactics. In his opinion, the current situation is very ideal, and there is no need to make any changes.

The second half started soon, and the Pacers gave the Clippers a blow when they came up.

Reggie Miller bypassed the screen of three teammates, caught and shot the ball in the corner... the goal was so clean!

This veteran who is about to turn 39 years old is now on the stage of the finals for the second time in his career. Last time he was still at his peak, but unfortunately his opponent was the peak Lakers, so he could only swallow the bitter fruit of failure regrettably.

At this age, the old Miller is not interested in anything else, but is full of obsession with the championship.

If he fails again in the finals this year, it is estimated that the old Miller will have no chance to compete for the league's highest honor in the future, so it is conceivable...he is completely desperate now.

Artest raised his hand to indicate that the ball was his mistake. He felt that he should have been able to help the defense in place, but in fact it cannot be blamed on him.

The old Miller's running position is really weird... He completely bypassed the cover of three teammates, even if he is as strong as Artest, it is difficult to help defend in place.

When the team faced difficulties, the elder Miller once again proved to the world...he is still the cold-faced killer who made the whole league tremble.

Old Dunleavy sat still in his chair, but the smile on his face had disappeared.

In his opinion, although the Pacers have made great progress under Carlisle's training, the lineup is not perfect. To put it bluntly, even the current lineup of the Clippers is three points better than them.

But for a player like Miller, you never know what kind of terrifying energy he will explode in the playoffs or finals.

Just like Karl Malone in the last round of the Lakers, although his strength has obviously declined compared to last season, his spirit of playing with injuries still inspired the morale of the Lakers team.

Sometimes it is this kind of veteran who is the most unpredictable... Well, there are many such examples in later generations, such as Sean Battier and Ray Allen during the Big Three of the Heat.

……

After the old Miller hit a three-pointer on the Pacers side, the morale of all the players suddenly increased. They fought hard on the defensive end, and even Wang Dalin couldn't help frowning.

With Wang Dalin's strength, it doesn't mean that this kind of defensive strength can really limit him, but it takes a lot of effort to attack every time, which is not a good signal.

He didn't fall in every game in the previous Eastern Conference finals, and he watched them all on TV.

The main reason why the Pacers can easily defeat the Pistons is not because their offense is better than the Pistons, but their defensive quality is equally good, even better than the Pistons.

Of course, the Pistons this season can't compete with the original Pistons in history, but their head coach is Larry Brown after all, so even if they are a little weaker than the Pistons that won the championship in history, their defense can definitely be ranked among the top three in the league.

It's not that Wang Dalin underestimates himself. According to him, the current Clippers' defense is a little bit worse than that of the Pacers...even if Artest and himself are two members of the best defensive team among them.

……

The two teams fell into a stalemate, and the point difference between the two sides remained at around 6 points, and no one could pull the score apart.

At this moment, Carlisle made a timeout and replaced Fred Jones.

Fred Jones was selected by the Pacers with the 2002th pick in the first round in 14. He is 193cm tall and weighs 95kg. He is a shooting guard.

He usually serves as Reggie Miller's backup in the Pacers, and sometimes he can play at the small forward position.

新秀赛季他场均只能上场6.1分钟，场均可以得到1.2分0.5篮板0.3助攻0.3抢断0.1盖帽。

不过自从去年夏天卡莱尔入主印第安纳之后，他的场均上场时间一下子增加到了18.6分钟，场均数据也提高到了4.9分1.6篮板2.1助攻0.8抢断0.2盖帽……呃，依然还是只能算个跑龙套的。

This gentleman's career in the original history can be called ups and downs. Not only did he move to many teams, but he also lost his job in the NBA after the end of the 2008-2009 season.

So this guy went to the Italian League to play for a season, and then went to the Chinese CBA League to play for a while, and was finally cut by the Guangdong Hongyuan Team.

Wang Dalin never expected that such a little-known guy would actually play the most dazzling performance of his career in this game!
Jones first dribbled the ball to the top of the three-point arc, then hit a three-pointer in front of Richardson, then intercepted Eddie House who was breaking through the dribble in the assist defense, and then made a fast break and hit a chasing three-pointer.

In just over 20 seconds, Jones scored 6 points in a row and sent out a steal. Not only did he stole the show, but he also successfully chased the score to a tie.

Old Dunleavy hurriedly called a timeout... This small climax came so fast that even an experienced old coach like him didn't react in time. By the time he called the timeout, the Pacers were already in full swing.

The expression on Quentin Richardson's face was obviously quite frustrated. After all, it was because he was careless when defending Jones just now... If he could pay a little more attention to Jones, he wouldn't be shot two consecutive three-pointers by this unknown guy.

Eddie House's face is also a little ugly. He has played in the NBA for four seasons, and he is rarely robbed... This is normal, he is only 185cm tall, and it is indeed very difficult to rob him.

Old Dunleavy looked at the low morale of the players, only Wang Dalin and Artest looked normal, and he couldn't help sighing secretly: "The two of them are the most reliable!"

In this case, the head coach must give a speech to the players. Good chicken soup can really inspire people, especially those young players.

The old Dunleavy is obviously not good at filling players with chicken soup, but he can't be stage fright at this time, so he coughed lightly and said: "Boys, what's wrong with you? Could it be that the opponent made two three-pointers and made you stupid?"

The players still bowed their heads in silence, and the old Dunleavy continued: "We made it to the finals with great difficulty, do you want to give up like this?"

Artest yelled: "No! I will never give up!"

His voice was so loud and so sudden that it startled Wang Dalin who was sitting beside him.

"Why are you so crazy?" Wang Dalin punched him on the shoulder and cursed with a smile, "If you want to yell, you can go to the opposite bench and yell, don't blah blah blah blah blah blah blah!"

Artest smiled embarrassedly: "I'm also doing this to refresh everyone!"

Wang Zhizhi interrupted suddenly: "Refresh? We are very energetic, why do we need you to refresh us?"

Mourning also smirked and said, "That's right, I can beat Jermaine half to death when I play now, do you believe it?"

Before Artest could answer, Wang Dalin said with a smile: "I believe this...But Alonzo, we are playing football, not people. If you beat him to death, the league will suspend you for 80 games. I think you should just retire!"

Mourning laughed loudly and said, "I haven't won the championship yet. Retire? Retire!"

As soon as he said this, the entire Clippers bench burst into laughter, and the players immediately relaxed completely. The old Dunleavy standing in front was a bit redundant.

Wang Dalin saw that the situation was good, so he hit the iron while it was hot: "Okay, don't be so stupid... Give me some energy when I play next time, and don't be careless with that Fred Jones!"

When he said these words, he always glanced at Quentin Richardson. The latter understood and immediately said loudly: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on him, and I will never give him another chance to shoot!"

Richardson said this categorically, but he was quickly slapped in the face after playing.

Just after Wang Dalin scored a goal to overtake the score, Fred Jones immediately scored another three-pointer. This time he scored under Richardson's close pressing!
The two three-pointers just now were more or less due to the Clippers' poor defense. This time, it was a good luck... If Jones really had this level of strength, he would have already made a name for himself in the league, and he would not be just a nobody by now.

Richardson's hands were sealed to his face, but he still made the shot...Wang Dalin dared to bet his own head that even if he made this kind of ball fifty times, he might not be able to score another one.

I have to say that the NBA is indeed a league full of miracles. Here you can enjoy the wonderful performances of Jordan, Kobe and others, and you can also occasionally witness a big explosion from an unknown player.

Uh... As a Chinese, Wang Dalin still remembers how shocked he was when he saw Jeremy Lin suddenly erupt in his previous life, and it was not just an eruption in one game, but a continuous eruption for a month!

林书豪爆发前场均只能得到3.5分1.1篮板1.9助攻，而爆发后场均居然可以轰出25分3.8篮板9.2助攻，这绝对已经算得上联盟控卫的顶级水准了。

You must know that in that season, "CP3" Chris Paul, known as the league's number one point guard, averaged only 19.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game!

Especially when the Knicks challenged the Lakers in an away game, before the game, a reporter asked Kobe what he thought of Jeremy Lin. Kobe said he didn't know the Chinese player.

But everyone knows what happened later. Jeremy Lin scored 38 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists in that game, which can almost be said to have blown Kobe up.

After the game, the reporters obviously wanted to humiliate Kobe, so they asked him again: "Now you should know who Jeremy Lin is?"

Kobe could only say embarrassingly: "He scored 38 points on me tonight, but you want to ask me if I know him?"

I have to say that Kobe's answer made the Chinese fans very happy, but it is not known whether he is happy or not.

Although Jeremy Lin only broke out for that month, his performance during that time was enough to be included in the history books of the NBA... This is the most classic part of the counterattack of the unknown, and it is also the most glorious period of his life!
……

Or back to the game.

Wang Dalin was also very surprised when he saw that Fred Jones hit such a difficult three-pointer, but this was the time for him to step forward, so he came to the frontcourt and asked for the ball, and then directly marked O'Neal with the ball from outside the three-point line.

Little O'Neill's baby face doesn't show any expression, it seems to be quite cute, but he just looks like this naturally... This guy's defensive style is quite fierce, but he is not cute at all!
Wang Dalin was first pulled by his jersey, and then tripped by his upper leg. Fortunately, he was always very vigilant, so he didn't fall to the ground on the spot.

The referee didn't call the penalty... After all, it's the Pacers' home court, so whatever the referee says, he has to take care of the home team a little bit.

After Wang Dalin broke into the three-point line, he did not recklessly hit the basket. Instead, he used the "reaper double change", followed by a "super six-double change". After the skills of the two A-level stars, O'Neal was finally left behind by him.

Harrington, who was two meters away in front of him, immediately rushed towards him, but it was obviously too late. Wang Dalin had already stood up and was about to complete an open jumper.

At this moment, Wang Dalin only felt a hand suddenly grabbing his jersey from behind. He couldn't use his strength in mid-air, and his center of gravity fell backwards, and he fell directly on his back to the floor.

With a "plop", Wang Dalin fell heavily, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately... O'Neal made a defensive foul!
This fall was quite heavy, although Wang Dalin was not injured by it, but he still couldn't get up because of the pain for a long time.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out... It was Artest, who punched out in front of the referee, hitting Jr. O'Neal in the face!
"I'm fucking your mother! How dare you play tricks behind your back! I'm going to abolish you today!"

Artest's punch came so suddenly that even the referee who was close at hand didn't react, let alone the other players on the court.

Wang Dalin lay on the ground and his heart sank... "Fuck! This is terrible!"
