"Dayao, you're fine!" Wang Dalin whispered in Yao Ming's ear while hugging him.
"It's like we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Yao Ming's face turned into an emoticon with a smile on his face, "We were drinking at the celebration banquet in Harbin more than a month ago, so it wasn't long before we parted ways!"
Wang Dalin chuckled: "That's righthow many points are you planning to lose to us tonight?"
Yao Ming smiled and said: "Da Lin, it's not that I underestimate you. I'm afraid it's our team that will win tonight, right?"
Wang Dalin smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true! Have you forgotten our two teams had one win and one loss last season!"
Yao Ming smiled and said: "Don't forget, last season you were with the Pistons, and now you are with the Clippers With your team's lineup, it will be difficult for us not to beat you!"
Wang Dalin suddenly became a little angry and was about to retort a few words when he saw Billups and Clifford Robinson walking over with smiles.
Yes, the Pistons' "Uncle Cliff" has become a completely free agent this summer, and the Warriors signed him with a two-year, $10 million contract.
"Yao, that's great!" Billups came over and hugged Wang Dalin, "Fourth brother, it seems that you are really going to lose tonight!"
Robinson also smiled and said: "Darling, this time I am on the same side as them, you kid, just wish yourself well!"
Wang Dalin said harshly: "Huh! Second brother, Clifford, the game hasn't started yet, and the outcome is not yet known!"
Yao Ming smiled and said: "The outcome is indeed uncertain, but your team's strength is obviously much worse than ours!"
Wang Dalin stiffened his neck and replied: "Okay, then we'll see!"
After saying that, he turned around and returned to his own half.
Returning to his own half to continue warming up, Wang Dalin could only sigh helplessly.
Yao Ming is right. The current hard power of the Clippers is indeed inferior to that of the Warriors. If nothing else, the "second brother" Billups alone cannot be stopped by Yalic.
Moreover, the Warriors also have Jason Richardson, Antoine Jamison, Troy Murphy, Clifford Robinson and other good players. This summer, they signed the Spurs last season for 3 years and 9.9 million US dollars. The team's backup point guard, Speedy Claxton, is also a high-quality backup point guard with considerable strength.
It can be said that the Warriors are definitely a powerful team in the Western Conference. Even the Mavericks, Spurs and Lakers do not dare to underestimate them.
On the other hand, the Clippers, except for Wang Dalin and Maggette, they don¡¯t even have a decent third-in-command Although Quentin Richardson has a good offense, his defense is so poor that even the top 3D Even if it doesn¡¯t count, how can he be considered a qualified third-in-command?
If Quentin Richardson is like this, others are even less qualified.
It would have been nice if the Clippers could have kept Elton Brand. At least he was good both offensively and defensively, and he is definitely one of the top ten power forwards in the current NBA.
Coupled with Maggette being the third boss, the strength of the Clippers will be extremely terrifying.
But having said thatif the Clippers didn't take out Brand, how could they get Wang Dalin? The Lakers even showed up for Kobe!
The whistle sounded at the beginning of the game. Yao Ming easily defeated Mourning in the jump ball and passed the ball to Billups.
After Billups received the ball, he dribbled steadily past half-court. After some observation, he found that Marko Jaric was afraid of his breakthrough speed, so he was in a defensive position, so he raised his hand and shot Three-pointer The ball flew across the sky above the Oakland Arena like a meteor and accurately penetrated the basket.
After last season, especially the two hard-fought rounds of the playoffs, Billups's current style of play has become calm and sharp, and sudden three-pointers like this are his specialty.
Wang Dalin sighed, he didn¡¯t dare to let Yalic make a sudden shot, because once Billups got inside the three-point line, even if the Clippers had a help defense expert like him, it would be of no avail.
Billups is not as unique as Iverson or Kobe. His passing is very powerful, and the Warriors also have players like Yao Ming, Jamison and Richardson on the offensive end. It's hard to expect them not to score if one of them has an open opportunity.
It was the Clippers' turn to attack. Yalic dribbled the ball past half court and immediately passed the ball to Wang Dalin.
In the past few games, except for the first game they lost, Wang Dalin basically acted as the starting point for the Clippers' offense, and he also completed this task very well, scoring double figures in assists in three consecutive games.
After observing the movement of his teammates, Wang Dalin took the initiative to dribble inside and cut in, and then quicklyNo matter who comes to defend him, he can only look forward to it and sigh The "God of Death" waved the sickle in his hand, killing the Warriors until the whole field was filled with grief.
In this quarter, Wang Dalin made a total of 8 of 11 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws. While scoring 21 points, he also contributed 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. build.
One more thing This cover is exactly the first height of the Warriors.
Wang Dalin clearly saw When the ball was blocked, Yao Ming's face was full of disbelief. At that time, he had clearly used his footsteps to throw Wang Dalin behind him, but he didn't expect that Wang Dalin would come from behind. He was hit with a big nailboard from behind.
However, the Warriors were not completely defeated by Wang Dalin's powerful offensive in the second quarter. Although they could not guard Wang Dalin, the Clippers still could not limit their offense.
So despite Wang Dalin's amazing offensive frenzy, when looking at the score after halftime, the Clippers still trailed the Warriors by 3 points, 52:55.
During the halftime break, Coach Dunleavy did not assign more tactics to the players, but instead poured them "chicken soup".
In fact, this kind of "chicken soup" is sometimes very useful, just like the many famous shocking reversals in the history of world football, each of which is closely related to "chicken soup".
For example, in the 2005 Champions League final, everyone was not optimistic about Liverpool from the beginning and believed that AC Milan would easily defeat them and win the championship.
Facts have proved that everyone's vision is indeed accurate. AC Milan scored 3 goals in the first half aloneLiverpool fell behind 0:3 at halftime. Anyone else would have thought they had already lost.
At halftime, the then Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez said to his disciples: "We have to do something! We can't just play idle for 45 minutes in front of tens of thousands of fans, and then Losing four or five goals and then leaving is not what we are here for!"
¡°I won¡¯t put high demands on you. I just hope that everyone will work hard on the court and try to score a goal just one goal, just to prevent us from losing so ugly, okay?¡±
As everyone knows, Liverpool scored three goals in the second half and defeated AC Milan in the penalty shootout. It can be called one of the most classic shocking comebacks in the history of the Champions League, known as "Istanbul Night" in history. .
But obviously Coach Dunleavy's "chicken soup skills" are not very good He cheered the players on like a chicken blood, and talked for at least ten minutes. However, Wang Dalin observed and found that the emotions of his teammates did not fluctuate much. .
Sigh This Clippers team has really been used to losing in the past few years. The players really lack fighting spirit. Coach Dunleavy wants to turn them around with a "chicken soup" speech, which is obviously too naive.
Wang Dalin sighed Come on, you still have to rely on me!
After the start of the third quarter, the Warriors players found that Wang Dalin's offensive firepower was significantly lower than in the second quarter, but his offense was still very efficient.
Except for the halftime break, Wang Dalin didn't take a minute off the field to rest in this game, and he had to fight on both offense and defense. He consumed more physical energy than anyone on the field.
"If he hadn't raised his physical strength to 93 during the offseason, Wang Dalin wouldn't have the confidence to last until the last moment if he continued to play like this.
But there is one thing to say Even if he can increase his physical strength to the full value of 99, he will find it difficult to play the entire game with both offense and defense like this.
Now he probably knows why in the summer of 2016, even though he faced the reputation of "surrendering to the enemy", Kevin Durant still joined the Warriors who had defeated them before without hesitation.
And LeBron James in the Cavaliers 1.0 era, doesn¡¯t he want to lead his hometown team to compete for the championship?
Doesn¡¯t he know how joining the Heat to join a team will have a negative impact on his reputation?
They all know it, butit's so uncomfortable to be alone! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
