After the All-Star Game, Wang Dalin didn't even attend the post-game press conference. He quickly took a shower and changed clothes and came out to meet Zhang Zilin Well, this game was exclusive to Jordan, and he didn't have to attend the post-game press conference. Press conference!
"Li Ning" company's All-Star Weekend activities have ended, so Zhang Zilin and his model team will naturally return to China.
On the night of February 9th, Wang Dalin and Zhang Zilin sat in a 24-hour dessert shop until about 2 o'clock in the morning Although they were both reluctant to leave, they could not avoid parting after all.
At this time, the relationship between the young man and woman is very delicate If you say they are just friends, they seem to be much closer than friends. If you say they are lovers, it seems a little worse.
If you could describe it in one word, it would probably be "Above AUO, but not yet a lover", right?
Early the next morning, Zhang Zilin followed the model team on the plane back to China, while Wang Dalin flew back to Detroit with Ben and Hamilton.
The two hurriedly met for the last time at the airport and then went their separate ways.
Maybe it was because he had been holding back all his energy from "playing support" in the All-Star Game, or maybe he was unhappy after breaking up with Zhang Zilin On February 11, when the Pistons challenged the Bulls away from home, Wang Dalin was so excited , actually took 27 crazy shots, scored a huge triple-double of 42 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals, and also sent out a career-high 6 blocks.
It wasn¡¯t until the end of the game that Wang Dalin discovered how significantly he had improved after receiving two special pieces of equipment and the ¡°Strongest Second Boss Badge¡±, especially his rebounding ability!
Originally, his rebounding ability was not weak, but now his offensive rebounding and defensive rebounding abilities have improved by 10 points respectively, so that his defensive rebounding ability has now reached 87, and his offensive rebounding ability is as high as 92 Even compared to rebounding like Ben The madman is no different.
The performance against the Bulls was not obvious enough. After all, he only played a little more than 32 minutes in total in this game He grabbed 13 rebounds in such a short period of time, including 5 offensive rebounds. This is outrageous!
On February 13, the Pistons faced the Magic at home.
Facing the strong challenge from McGrady at his peak, Wang Dalin not only performed well on the offensive end, but also took on the important task of defending McGrady on the defensive end.
In the end, he made 10 of 18 shots from the field, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 31 points, 15 rebounds, 14 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. While breaking his own single-game rebound record, he also beat Tracy McGrady. Defended 13 of 31 shots.
So even though McGrady scored a game-high 35 points and also sent out 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, the Magic could only swallow the bitter fruit of failure in Detroit.
Immediately afterwards, the Pistons defeated the Bucks back-to-back on the evening of February 14, with a score of 96:112.
Wang Dalin also continued his magical performance after the previous game with a large triple-double of 38 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 5 blocks.
In January, Wang Dalin scored triple-doubles in 5 consecutive games. At that time, this feat was already hyped by the major media. In February, he scored 4 triple-doubles in 5 games, and Every time, it was at least a 30+ triple-double. How could reporters from major North American media sit still?
They began to rush to report on Wang Dalin¡¯s magical performance, and predicted that he would most likely break the record of nine consecutive games with triple-doubles set by the ¡°ancient beast¡± Chamberlain.
It¡¯s a pity that their predictions were quickly disappointed Wang Dalin "only scored" 29 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in the away game against the Cavaliers on February 16.
It¡¯s not that Wang Dalin couldn¡¯t score better data, but the Cavaliers had already surrendered with more than 7 minutes left in the game. There is no way Wang Dalin would have the shamelessness to stay on the court during garbage time just to have a consecutive triple-double. Upload data?
As of the end of the game on February 16, Wang Dalin averaged 30.78 points, 9.86 rebounds, 8.59 assists, 1.61 steals and 1.57 blocks per game. He currently ranks first in the scoring list and ranks first in the assists list. second.
Wang Dalin¡¯s original goal was to go all out to win the mvp this season, but now the situation has changed. He feels that he is fully qualified to compete for the scoring and assist titles.
McGrady currently ranks second on the scoring list, averaging 30.77 points per game, only 0.01 points lower than Wang Dalin.
But Wang Dalin knows that McGrady will probably average 32.1 points per game this season, so 30.78 points is not very competitive, and he has to work harder to score points.
¡°The original assist king in time and space this season was Jason Kidd, who averaged only 8.9 assists per game This is probably the lowest assist king in the 21st century, right?Everyone scored, and the team's shooting percentage was as high as 52.3%.
If Wang Dalin hadn't hit the game-killing three-pointer 5 seconds before the end of the game, and if Rasheed Wallace could have made the last three-pointer, the outcome of the game might have been completely different. .
In the end, the Pistons narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers 106:103, further improving their record to 55 wins and 5 losses.
On the night of March 2, after the game, all the Pistons soldiers flew back to Detroit overnight. The players were too tired during this period, so Carlisle did not arrange any training for the next two days.
On the morning of March 3, the league officially announced the winners of the best players in the Eastern and Western Conferences for February, namely Wang Dalin from the Eastern Conference and Kevin Garnett from the Western Conference.
The Timberwolves had the league's best record of 12 wins and 1 loss in February, and Garnett, the "Wolf King", took most of the credit.
Just last month, Garnett averaged 40 minutes per game, scoring 27.7 points, 13.9 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.5 blocks. His shooting percentage was as high as 56.6%. His momentum not only topped the entire Western Conference, he was even better than Wang Dalin. Not much difference.
However, Wang Dalin is still better. Not only did he lead the team to an 11-2 record in February, he also averaged 33.8 points, 12.3 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 2.2 steals, 2.6 blocks per game, shooting 55% from the field, and three-pointers. The shooting rate was 48% and the free throw shooting rate was 89.6%.
If free throws can be a little more accurate, even if he scores one or two more free throws, Wang Dalin will be able to join the "180 Club" in February.
And if he can have 3 more assists, he can average a triple-double per game!
???????????? Before that macho guy from later generations appeared, no one would have believed in averaging a triple-double per game, even though the ¡°Big O¡± had done it before, but what era was that?
When the Pistons were heading towards the Bulls' 72-win record, the major media naturally heated up the topic. For a while, every team in the league couldn't help but exclaimed - "Darling King is crazy." ? Are the Pistons going crazy too?" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
