    ??

    On the evening of January 21, 2004, the lights inside and outside the Staples Center were bright, the arena was bustling with people, and all 19,060 seats were occupied.

    Some people may ask - "Why 19,060 seats? Didn't you say 18,997 seats before?"

    This needs to be said a little more "Staples Center" is not only used as a basketball stadium, and its capacity will vary according to different uses.

    When used for concerts and boxing matches, it can accommodate 20,000 people. When used as an ice hockey stadium, it can accommodate 18,118 people. When used as an indoor American football stadium, it can only accommodate 16,096 people.

    When used as a basketball stadium, it can accommodate up to about 19,000 people, including 18,997 people when the Lakers are at home, 19,060 people when the Clippers are at home, and only 12,974 people when the WNBA Los Angeles Sparks are at home.

    The starting lineup sent by the Warriors is center Yao Ming, power forward Clifford Robinson, small forward Antoine Jamison, shooting guard Jason Richardson, and point guard Chauncey Billups.

    Although the Warriors have been making great progress this season and are ranked fifth in the Western Conference, rumors have spread team boss Antoine Jamison has become increasingly dissatisfied with his tactical position and is plotting a trade recently. I heard  Said he wanted to go to the Wizards.

    In fact, in the original time and space, Jamison was traded during the offseason last summer. He was sent to the Mavericks, and the Warriors got former All-Star point guard Nick Van Exel.

    In the 2003-2004 season, Jamison also won the "Best Sixth Man" award with the Mavericks. I really don't know why he went to the Mavericks to play as the sixth man. He was originally the boss when he was with the Warriors  ¡­Maybe it¡¯s just to get a championship ring?

    This deal is obviously impossible to happen in this life. After all, the Warriors already have the flourishing "second brother" Billups. Why do they need Van Exel, a 32-year-old has-been All-Star?

    Therefore, Jamison has not been able to go to the Mavericks as he originally did in time and space, and his current position in the Warriors is in jeopardy Whether it is Billups at his peak or Yao Ming, who is getting stronger and stronger, they are already a serious threat.  Reached his boss position.

    In fact, Jamison is still very strong. He averaged 20+ points per game last season and averaged more than 8 rebounds per game. He is definitely among the top ten forward players in the entire Western Conference.

    It¡¯s just that Jamison¡¯s performance in the playoffs last season was indeed a bit stretched, and Billups¡¯ ¡°real thigh¡± stole the spotlight. Even rookie Yao Ming performed better than him.

    So even in Oakland, Jamison's popularity has dropped a lot than before. More and more fans have regarded Billups and Yao Ming as the future hope of the Warriors, and their attitude towards Jamison has become increasingly fierce.  Subtle.

    "General" Arenas is having a great time with the Wizards this season. Under his call, Jamison may really want to quit.

    Being able to reunite with old friends in the past, and at least being able to sit firmly in the position of "second boss" is better than staying with the Warriors.

    If he continues like this, let alone continuing to be the boss, he may not even be the third one!

    You must know that in addition to Billups and Yao Ming, the Warriors also have Jason Richardson Judging from his performance this season, Richardson's average of 18.2 points per game is not much worse than Jamison.  .

    Although staying with the Warriors is definitely more promising to win the championship, Jamison obviously still values ??his future more What is the use of a third or fourth championship?

    Thinking about Jamison, he was also born in North Carolina. Michael Jordan shined before him, and Vince Carter became famous in the league later. He can't be too far behind these two senior brothers, right?

    ???????????? Let¡¯s get back to the game

    In the tnt live broadcast room, the "unfamous cross talk duo" Buckley and Smith officially appeared again.

    This time Barkley was obviously more noisy than before. After all, he kicked Smith so hard last time that it was said that it still hurt when he defecated for several days afterwards!

    "Hey, Kenny, what do you think of today's game?"

    "Does it matter what I think? You must still be optimistic about the Clippers anyway?"

    "Yes, are you also optimistic about the Clippers? Oh, this is rare. It is rare for the two of us to agree on the same opinion!"

    "Ah! Who the hell agrees with you? I am optimistic about the Warriors!"

    "Hahaha I'm just saying, you and I definitely can't be optimistic about the same team! By the way, don't you think the Warriors have internal conflicts now that will affect this game?"

    "Contradiction? You mean Antoine, right? Haha, soThe shooting percentage is equivalent to a 60% two-point shooting percentage, and 16 three-pointers are equivalent to 24 two-pointers!

    ??It¡¯s not too outrageous to score 16 three-pointers in 40 shots, but 24 two-pointers in 40 shotsisn¡¯t this nonsense?

    Even if he is a "peak shark", he cannot guarantee that he will be able to score 24 goals in every 40 shots. But now Wang Dalin dares He will definitely be able to score more than 16 goals in 40 three-point shots.  Because his three-point shooting percentage is far more than 40%!

    As of this game, he had taken a total of 275 three-pointers this season and made 129 of them, with a shooting percentage of 46.9%. This was despite using "Super Pickle Pepper" twice, which resulted in a low shooting percentage in 6 games.  Under extremely bleak circumstancesif it hadn't been for those games, his three-point shooting percentage would never have been lower than 48%!

    46.9%!  It¡¯s higher than the overall shooting percentage of many outside stars!

    If he hadn¡¯t really performed like this, in this era when three-pointers are generally ignored, who would dare to believe such a thing?

    Look at Kobe Bryant. His field goal percentage last season was 47.5% and his three-point shooting percentage was close to 40%. The same is true this season. His three-point shooting is far more accurate than his original time and space!

    Look at people like Tracy McGrady, Paul Pierce, Vince Carter, and Allen Iverson. Their three-point shooting percentages are more or less more accurate than their own in the original time and space.  .

    Stars who are originally very good at outside shooting, such as Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Peja Stojakovic and others, have not improved their three-point shooting percentage compared to their original time and space.  , but the number of three-point shots has increased significantly.

    Wang Dalin didn't notice, or most people in the entire league didn't notice As Wang Dalin destroyed the enemy's defense with three-pointers and led his team to win the championship twice, the entire league  The style of play has changed slightly.

    Although this change is not obvious, so most people have not noticed it, the change is real.

    Although it is not yet possible to push the league into the small ball era of later generations, if it continues to evolve like this, the small ball era may come early in the not too distant future.

    In fact, based on Wang Dalin's preferences, he doesn't like the style of play in the small ball era The fierce inside confrontation in the past is gone, the wonderful mid-range fadeaway jumpers are gone, and there are fewer dunks. You can tell one by one.  Shoot the three-point shot!

    ¡°As everyone knows, in the playoffs, what can really kill the game is the unsolvable mid-range fadeaway jumper similar to Jordan and Kobe Isn¡¯t that what Durant and Leonard did later?

    And the most criticized thing in the small ball era is the decline in defensive intensity, especially interior defense Rudy Gobert, a mere man, can actually win two DPOY awards?

    As for his defense and frame protection, he is not as good as "Uncle Mu" back then, and his assist defense is even worse than "Hard Special" and "Big Ben". In this way, he can actually sign a five-year maximum salary of US$205 million.  contract?

    That is to say, in the small ball era, if it were left to the early 21st century, he would be just a blue-collar center, and it would be difficult to earn an annual salary of US$8 million!

    Some people say that¡¯s wrong. Isn¡¯t ¡°Big Ben¡± also a blue-collar center?  Didn't he also sign a four-year, $60 million contract with the Bulls?

    Yes, he did get a big contract, but that was already the summer of 2006and Ben had already been selected to the All-Star team at that time, had a championship ring in his hand, and had won the Defensive Player of the Year four times.  Award, he is not a pure blue-collar center!

    Some people say there isn¡¯t another Eric Dampier?

    Have you forgotten the mighty "Second Center in the Western Conference"?

    Yes, that guy did sign a seven-year, $7,300 contract with the Mavericks in the summer of 2004, and his average salary exceeded $10 million.

    Butother than Mark Cuban, who else would give him such a big contract?

    The Mavericks were also in a hurry and sought medical treatment at that time. After all, O'Neal had not had time to go to the Eastern Conference at that time. They had to find a more reliable meat shield center to deal with him, right?

    Moreover, in the 2003-2004 season, Dampier also averaged 12.3 points, 12 rebounds and 1.85 blocks per game. Apart from Yao Ming, is there any more reliable center in the Western Conference than him?

    ¡­¡­

    ??????????? Let¡¯s get back to the game.

    After the first quarter, the two sides tied at 28:28.

    It has to be said that the overall strength of the Warriors is indeed superior to the Clippers The Clippers players have performed very well, but they can only draw with the opponent.

    After a short break, players from both sides returned to the court again.

    Wang Dalin finally started to show off his power. At the beginning of the second quarter, he broke into the paint twice in a row, succeeded in a dunk once, and caused a defensive foul on Yao Ming.

    Seeing Yao Ming commit two fouls at the beginning of the second quarter, Kalil frowned even more (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)He broke into the paint twice, succeeded in a dunk once, and caused a defensive foul on Yao Ming once.
