Since the referee did not call Knight a foul, the ball still belonged to the Knicks, and they got the opportunity to serve the ball from the frontcourt.
The tall Knight stood outside the sideline to serve. The other four Knicks players actively moved and covered each other. Alan Houston bypassed the screen and finally received the ball.
"Snapped!"
Houston couldn't help but be shocked As soon as he received the ball, Wang Dalin slapped the ball. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the ball would have been lost.
"What a fast move!" Houston was still frightened. After regaining control of the ball, he did not dribble in a hurry. He observed the situation and passed the ball to Charlie Ward on the other side.
There was a "pop" soundit was Wang Dalin's long arm stretched out like lightning again!
The ball was intercepted by Wang Dalin as soon as it was released. Then Wang Dalin dribbled the ball and launched a fast break. Houston and Ward were unable to catch up. Wang Dalin rushed into the basket and made a one-handed dunk.
"Clang!"
After landing, Wang Dalin turned around and ran back to his own half without even looking at the Knicks players.
No one saw the expression on Wang Dalin¡¯s face when he ran back to his own half, but the on-site cameras recorded this scene What a cold and terrifying expression it was!
After seeing this scene, the "tnt non-famous cross talk group" couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs.
"CharlesI thinklet's cancel our bet today, okay?" Smith said with a horrified look, "How about I lose? It's absolutely normal for the Knicks to lose by more than 30 points tonight!"
Buckley also said uncharacteristically: "Well the bet tonight has really lost its suspense. Even if I win, there is nothing to be happy about!"
Less than three minutes into the second quarter, even though the Knicks were 18 points behind, but there were still more than 30 minutes left in the game, TNT's two commentators had already announced in advance that the game was no longer suspense and There is no suspense that the Knicks will lose by more than 30 points. This is a bit mysterious!
Maybe this is the sixth sense that Smith and Barkley have developed through years of playing in the professional arena. When danger comes, they can sometimes foresee it in advance just like tonight!
Their hunch was very correct. As expected, Wang Dalin began to play a lot of singles with the ball. His breakthroughs, emergency jump shots and various pull-ups were so incomprehensible that no matter how hard Anderson tried his best on the defensive end, it was of no avail.
Head coach Don Cheney called two timeouts in the second quarter. First, he replaced Clarence Witherspoon, who was stronger, to defend Wang Dalin. However, the effect was still not good because Wang Dalin was superior only to his height. It allows him to easily complete pull-up jumpers in front of Witherspoon.
After the second timeout, Don Cheney finally asked the players to double-team Wang Dalin Even outside the three-point line, as long as Wang Dalin catches the ball, he will still be double-teamed!
This move did limit Wang Dalin¡¯s personal offense, but Wang Dalin¡¯s passing skills were put to good use again. In the second half of the second quarter, he sent out 3 assists.
Two of these three assists went to Boozer who came on the bench With Wang Dalin attracting the opponent's defensive attention, Boozer would be wide open when he received the ball in the mid-range. If he couldn't make the shot, he would You are not qualified to be a "rebellious boy" in a few years!
At the end of the first half, the Pistons led 70:49 by 21 points If the Knicks hadn't been struggling with Alan Houston's offensive support, the entire second half of this game might have been garbage time.
"Brother, how are your feet?"
During the halftime break, Wang Dalin just returned to the locker room and didn¡¯t see Ben, so he quickly called Ben.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry!" Daben said in a very relaxed tone on the phone. "I've already taken an X-ray. The doctor said there is no structural damage. I don't feel much pain anymore. It should be just a slight sprain!"
¡°That¡¯s good, you can rest peacefully first, I have to beat the shit out of the Knicks tonight!¡± Wang Dalin was still angry as he spoke.
Da Ben laughed loudly and said: "Hey, fourth brother, I am watching the live broadcast here. You defeated them by 21 points in the first half. Enough is enough. There is no need to fight to the death, right?"
Wang Dalin said coldly: "No, I have to let the Knicks know in this game that they shouldn't do such despicable things. If they do they must pay the price!"
Da Ben smiled and said: "Well, I will watch your performance on TV Just win by 30 points, don't make it too bloody, there is no need!"
Wang Dalin did not answer directly, but simply said: "Well, I know what to do!"
&"
The beautiful reporter was obviously shocked by Wang Dalin's words. After thinking for a moment, she asked: "Darling, do you know what you are talking about? Do you know what impact your words will have?"
Wang Dalin sneered: "I clearly saw the scene where Tyrese stepped on my eldest brother's feet, so of course I know what I'm talking about, but I don't care what impact these words will have! Because I believe , No matter what the purpose is, a player should play well on the court and not engage in these evil ways!"
Wang Dalin became more and more angry as he spoke. Huoran stood up and said angrily: "I declare that from today on, the Knicks are my enemy! No matter when it is, or which team I am in in the future, as long as I am still in the East, I guarantee that the Knicks will be my enemy." The team will never reach the finalsthat's what I said!"
"Also, we still have three games to play against the Knicks this season!" Wang Dalin continued, "I guarantee they won't win a game!"
After finishing speaking, Wang Dalin sat back on his chair and said into the microphone: "Next"
Fans did not expect that the process of this game was quite tragic. After all, the Knicks were slaughtered by 58 points.
But compared with what happened in the post-match press conference, the game itself seemed unimportant.
Because of Wang Dalin¡¯s strong declaration, the Pistons and the Knicks are bound to have become mortal enemies. When they meet on the court in the future, the two sides will surely stage a fierce confrontation like Mars hitting the earth.
Wang Dalin will definitely take responsibility for what he said, and the Knicks general will definitely go all out to make Wang Dalin severely slapped in the face.
¡¡
On November 1st, the Pistons will continue to face the Memphis Grizzlies at home (in fact, the Grizzlies' home court moved from Vancouver to Memphis last season, so a special note must be made here). Ben will be absent from this game, and it is estimated that there will be three or four more games. Geniuses may come back.
The defending champion's performance in the opening game was really brutal, and Wang Dalin scored a 40+ triple-double in three quarters, which was even more brutal. The Grizzlies coach and general were very low-key at the pre-game press conference. , they said that there is indeed a gap in strength between the two sides, and they can only do their best in this game.
Grizzlies boss Pau Gasol made 8 of 12 shots in this game, plus 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 21 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks. His performance was not bad.
Drew Gooden, the No. 5 pick selected by the team this year, performed very well. He made 9 of 15 shots from the field and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.
If you only look at his rookie season performance, Gooden is definitely ranked among the top five rookies in this class, but his subsequent progress has been very small, and that's basically it.
The Grizzlies played their level normally, but the Pistons also played normally so the final score was also normal, 86:109. The Pistons defeated the Grizzlies without a fight.
Wang Dalin only played three quarters again, making 8 of 15 shots from the field, including 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 25 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal.
Hamilton also scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, which was a pretty good performance.
McGinnis also contributed 14 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, Robinson had 11 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Barry had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and Williams had 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
Six members of the Pistons scored in double figures. Winning this game is absolutely normal. They started the season with two consecutive wins. This made Wang Dalin and his teammates very happy, but who would have thought that this was just their winning streak? What about the beginning?
