That night, all the Heat members played in the nightclub until around 12 o'clock and then dispersed. There was no excessive singing and dancing. The main reason was that Pat Riley was good at "training" and no one dared to be too presumptuous.
These players of the Heat are relatively self-disciplined this season. Although Jones, Mason, Grant and others are all newcomers, with Hardaway, the current boss, "leading by example", everyone does not have to play late into the night.
However, a few players came to the girl who accompanied the wine to have Happy. This kind of thing is normal at any time of the NBA, and Wang Dalin doesn't feel that there is anything wrong. Anyway, he must not have this thought.
It¡¯s not that he has a bad heart or courage. The main reason is that he has just entered the NBA and has not even entered the main rotation. He really feels that he is not qualified to indulge himself.
Although he often hangs out in nightclubs, he is still a "flower show". In his rookie season, he was an important source of firepower for the Thunder's bench. He averaged 22.9 minutes per game, scored 9.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and hit three-pointers. The rate has reached 37.5%, which can be considered as indulgent capital, right?
¡°Besides, Wang Dalin is only 18 years old, which means he has just reached adulthood in China. It would be too unprofessional to rush around and just pick up girls.
The main reason is actually still no money!
Don¡¯t think that you can get the money immediately after signing the contract. During this period, the NBA¡¯s salary for each season will be paid in 12 installments, once every half month. He has to wait until November 15th to receive his first salary with the Heat, which is approximately $35,000.
Now, he only has a total of more than 700 US dollars left in his pocket. If the rent had not been paid, he would not even have enough for living expenses. How could he have money to have fun?
Wang Dalin¡¯s family restaurant¡¯s annual income is about 300,000 yuanmei coins, which was considered very good in China in 2000, and it was only more than 30,000 yuan in U.S. dollars.
During this period, his monthly rent in the United States was US$700, and he spent almost US$2,000 including living expenses, which was considered very frugal.
If he often goes to the supermarket to buy low-priced and discounted food, he can save at least another 500 US dollars every month If you want to be a professional player, your body is your capital, so you should not treat yourself too badly when it comes to diet!

After the Heat challenged the Charlotte Hornets away on November 4, they immediately had to return to Miami to face the Philadelphia 76ers at home on November 5.
I have to say that it¡¯s really frustrating to have to experience back-to-back games at the beginning of the season.
The biggest headache for Riley is the hidden injury risks of the veterans in the team. These "thirty-year-old men" must carefully control their playing time, otherwise they will lose more than they gain if they get injured.
Mourning has already had to recuperate for a long time due to injuries. If Hardaway, Mason, Green, Carter or Marley are injured one or two more times, it is estimated that the regular season record will be difficult to guarantee.
In the past, Pat Riley liked to "beat the main players hard", but this season he has begun to try to make some changes, such as increasing the original 9-10 person rotation to a 10-11 person rotation, which can not only improve the main players Their on-field efficiency can also effectively reduce their risk of injury.
If you want to do this, the substitute players must be strong!
Otherwise, do you think why Tom Thibodeau, Larry Brown and Jeff Van Gundy like to "beat the main force" so much in the original time and space? It¡¯s not because of the lack of substitute players!
"This Darling King is really eye-catching!" Looking at the player list on the desk, Riley drew a straight line under Wang Dalin's name with a pen, and a smile appeared on his face, "This is it. The name makes people uncomfortable just looking at it, I¡¯m not gay!¡±
¡¡
Eddie House was on the roster for this away game against the Hornets. The opponent had the backcourt duo of David Wesley and Baron Davis, and their offensive firepower was quite good. Riley was still quite good. Fearful.
Tim Hardaway and Anthony Carter are old after all, and it may be difficult to compete with Davis, a point guard with extremely explosive physical fitness.
Although Eddie House is not as tall and strong as "Big Beard", he is very fast and has a very hard defensive attitude. At least he can restrict "Big Beard" from the outside.
Riley is more worried about Jamal Mashburn. This small forward nicknamed "Monster Marsh" also played for the Heat last season. Riley is very familiar with his strength.
Mashburn played 76 games in the regular season for the Heat last season, averaging 37.2 minutes per game. He averaged 17.5 points, 5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. He ranked second on the team in points per game and in minutes played. First, he is definitely at the quasi-All-Star level.
Some fans will say: "No?Averaging 17.5 points per game? What's so great about this? "
Such scoring averages were nothing in the small ball erabut this was in 2000!
From the late 1990s to the early 21st century, the pace of NBA games was quite slow. Anyone who averaged more than 20 points per game could be considered a super scorer.
In the just-concluded 1999-2000 season, there were only 5 players in the entire league averaging more than 25 points per game, and only 20 players averaging more than 20 points per game. Jamal Marsh ranks 36th in the scoring list with an average of 17.5 points per game, and his offensive firepower is quite good!
Fortunately, the Heat have Eddie Jones this season. He averaged 20.1 points and 2.67 steals last season, and he was enough to suppress Mashburn on both offense and defense.
Wang Dalin, who performed well in the first game, was also included in the game list, and Riley was prepared to give him more playing time.
Mainly because the Hornets have good substitutes inside, especially Derrick Coleman, the No. 1 pick in the 1990 draft, who averaged 20+10 per game for three consecutive seasons. Even Mourning could only do that back then. It's just a good match with him for a while, and this guy averaged 16.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per game last season!
Todd Fowler, who has always had a "weak style of play", will definitely be no match for Coleman. Coswell can hold up a lot in the paint, but this guy can't do anything except dunk on the offensive end. Riley feels that on the bench, Perhaps only Wang Dalin can barely fight with him.
¡¡
On the afternoon of November 3, the Heat soldiers took a plane to Charlotte, and conducted about an hour of adaptation training the next afternoon.
The game rosters and starting lists of both sides have been submitted.
The Hornets¡¯ starting five are center Eldon Campbell, power forward P.J. Brown, small forward Jamal Mashburn, shooting guard David Wesley, and point guard Baron Davis.
The starting lineup for the Heat is center Brian Grant, power forward Anthony Mason, small forward Bruce Bowen, shooting guard Eddie Jones and point guard Tim Hardaway.
Grant won the jump ball and won the first attack for the Heat. After Jones received the ball from the outside, he directly singled out Wesley. He relied on his height advantage to successfully make a jump shot.
¡°Maybe it was because I didn¡¯t feel good at the beginning, but the ball ended up being a strike.
Looking back, Mashburn held the ball in the Hornets' first attack and singled out Bowen. Faced with Bowen's tight defense, Mashburn did not score the goal.
???????????? Then Mason on the Heat¡¯s side made a breakthrough layup, and on the Hornets¡¯ side, Brown attacked the basket but still couldn¡¯t score Riley, who was sitting off the court, looked solemn, and on the other side, the Hornets coach Paul Silas also had a heavy face.
They already have a hunch that this game may be a very fierce defensive battle. No matter who wins or loses in this kind of competition, the process of the competition will be extremely difficult (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
