Unlike Barkley¡¯s bet, Wang Dalin must lead Olajuwon in scoring, rebounds and assists in order to complete this temporary task and receive rewards.
So even though Wang Dalin succeeded in two consecutive attacks and temporarily led 4:0 in scoring, he did not feel that he could sit back and relax.
Although Olajuwon is old, his status in the Rockets is still very high. How can the tactical resources he obtains be comparable to that of Wang Dalin, a new recruit?
According to his data of 10.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game last season, and 23.8 minutes of playing time per game, as long as he performs normally in this game, it is really not a big deal to surpass Wang Dalin on the bench in the last round. Difficult things.
When it was the Rockets' turn to attack, Olajuwon once again got stuck on the edge of the three-second zone, and Francis passed the ball to him in time.
For this ball, Olajuwon leaned against Wang Dalin and pushed hard towards the basket. Wang Dalin tried his best but still couldn't resist, and was pushed to the basket by him.
Although Olajuwon is not as strong as O'Neal, his strength is actually quite good. It should be said that the centers of that era were all good, otherwise they would not be able to survive in the NBA.
Olajuwon made two consecutive fake moves, but Wang Dalin did not stun him, but raised his arms high and stayed close to him.
Olajuwon had no way out, and he had stayed in the three-second zone for a long time. If he didn't take action, he would be called for a three-second violation, so he had no choice but to push Wang Dalin with his shoulder, followed by an elbow, and then forced Hook shot.
"Beep"
The referee blew the whistle. Olajuwon waved his elbow when he hit the ball with his shoulder, which was an offensive foul.
Counting this ball, Wang Dalin defended Olajuwon three times in a row, but he succeeded in two consecutive mid-range shots. He performed well on both offense and defense.
Looking back, Anthony Carter did not pass the ball to Wang Dalin, but to Ricky Davis. As a point guard, sometimesyou have to take equal measures.
There is a saying, although Davis's IQ has been in arrears for a long time, his breakthrough speed is still very fast. With a change of direction in front of his body, he will leave the opponent Matt Bullard behind.
After getting to the basket, he jumped up high. This posture was clearly intended for a tomahawk dunk. As a result Olajuwon lightly jumped, raised his arms high, and hit the ball with his head and face covered.
It may be difficult for the aging "Big Dream" to perform high-quality on the offensive end, but his ability to protect the frame cannot be underestimated, and he can at least rank among the top 20 in the league.
The ball bounced off the ground and just flew into the hands of Wang Dalin. Olajuwon hurriedly slid over to cover the defense. Power forward Maurice Taylor also came over to double-team. For a while, Wang Dalin was "a man on both sides."
Wang Dalin held the ball high and flicked his wrist, and the basketball suddenly flew into the hands of A.C. Green, who was unguarded on the other side. Green raised his hand and dropped the knife, steadily hitting the wide-open mid-range shot.
Looking back, Francis did not pass the ball to Olajuwon in this attack. Instead, he waved for everyone to pull away. He wanted to single out Carter.
If he were facing Vince Carter, the "Toronto Dragon King" who is now at his peak, he would really not dare to make a mistake, but who is Anthony Carter? Just an older second-year rookie who entered the NBA without going through the draft!
Anthony Carter, who was born in June 1975, is now 25 years old, but this season is only his second season in the NBA. He is currently averaging more than 20 minutes per game, averaging 6.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. Not as good as Wang Dalin.
In the 2000-2001 season, Francis has entered the peak period of his career. His explosive physical fitness made his breakthrough extremely sharp. Although Carter is the same height as him at 188cm, his speed is not at the same level at all.
Without using too many fancy dribbling moves, Francis changed his body twice and used his speed to directly beat Carter. He broke into the three-second zone and leaped high to face Wang Dalin, and saw a dunk from behind.
Wang Dalin also hit the ball hard. He stood firmly outside the reasonable collision area with both feet and protected his lower body with his arms - he wanted to cause Francis an offensive foul.
What a "Big Brother Fu". After he took off, he made a weird 180-degree turn in the air. He caught the ball with his right hand and passed the ball behind his back. The basketball flew past Wang Dalin and landed steadily under the basket. In the hands of "Big Dream".
¡°Damn it, that¡¯s too bad"
Wang Dalin knew with his buttocks that this ball would definitely be selected as one of the best five goals this week, and his background was also certain
"Clang!"Olajuwon dunked with both hands and roared after landing, as if to vent his frustration in this game.
Francis also hurried over to congratulate him, giving him high fives and chest bumps.
"Did you see that? Kenny!" Barkley held it in for a long time and finally got a chance to sneer, instantly turning on the climax mode, "I told you that Hakeem would come back! You have to know that he's so skinny It is a truth that a camel is bigger than a horse! Even if Hakeem is old, no rookie like Darling King can compare with him!"
Smith pursed his lips and did not make any sound. It was useless to say anything at this moment. This goal was indeed quite exciting.
"This ball belongs to me!" Carter came over and patted Wang Dalin's butt, saying apologetically, "Wang, don't take it personally. I'll pass the ball to you later, and you can give him one back!"
Green also came over to comfort him and said: "It's okay, isn't it just a dunk? I'll set a screen for you later, and you dunk him too!"
If the 18-year-old recruit Danzi doesn't pay attention to his words and deeds in the team, he will easily be ostracized by the veterans in the team, or even be targeted collectively.
But if this rookie plays selflessly on the court and often buys donuts and drinks for the veterans, and is so well-behaved and sensible, the veterans will take great care of this "little brother" and even "pamper" him. !
Yes, Wang Dalin is now the "team favorite" of the Heat. Even Ricky Davis and Eddie House are quite envious of him.
"Okay!" Wang Dalin was also angry and said secretly, "Even if you are one of the top 50 players in history, I have to defeat you today!"
After halftime, Carter didn't waste any time this time and passed the ball directly to Wang Dalin. As expected, Green came over and gave him a single screen. Wang Dalin broke through to the basket without hesitation.
Olajuwon slowly backed away while interfering with his dribbling. Unexpectedly, Wang Dalin took a step back to open up the distance, and then he pulled up and made a "iron-blooded jump shot", which looked very much like the No. 21 of the Timberwolves. .
This ball was quite far away, Wang Dalin even stepped on the three-point line with one foot, but Olajuwon knew that this young man had a very good shooting range, so he fought hard to defend
"Pa" - this is the sound of Olajuwon's thugs.
"Whoosh" - this is the sound of a basketball passing through the hoop.
"Beep" - This is the referee's whistle.
At 25:24, the Heat were only 1 point behind, and Wang Dalin had to make another free throw.
Wang Dalin¡¯s current free throw ability is 74, and his shooting rate will basically not be lower than 80%. It is no surprise that he hit this shot steadily.
After hitting the free throw, Wang Dalin smiled slightly at Olajuwon who was about to serve a baseline kick and said: "Hey, Hakeem, it's time for you to wake up from this dream!"
Olajuwon: "I"
"Beep!"
Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich quickly called for a tentative decision. The Heat's point-chasing momentum was too strong in the first few minutes of the second quarter, and he had to make some adjustments. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
