Chapter 29
Unlike Barkley and their bet, Wang Dalin must lead Olajuwon in points, rebounds and assists in order to complete this temporary task and get the reward.

So even though Wang Dalin succeeded in attacking twice in a row and led temporarily by 4:0 in scoring, he didn't feel that he could rest easy.

Although Olajuwon is old, his status in the Rockets is still very high. How can he obtain tactical resources comparable to Wang Dalin, a new recruit?
According to his average of 10.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game last season, and his average playing time of 23.8 minutes per game, as long as he plays normally in this game, it is really not a difficult task to surpass Wang Dalin, who is in the last round of the bench.

It was the Rockets' turn to attack, and Olajuwon was once again stuck on the edge of the paint, and Francis made a timely pass to him.

With this ball, Olajuwon leaned on Wang Dalin's back and tried his best to hit the basket. Wang Dalin couldn't resist with all his strength, and was squeezed to the basket by him.

Although Olajuwon is not as strong as a mountain like O'Neal, in fact, his strength is quite good. It should be said that the center strength of that era was good, otherwise he would not be able to survive in the NBA.

Olajuwon made two strong feints in a row. Wang Dalin didn't hesitate, but raised his arms to cling to him.

Olajuwon had no way out, and he had been in the three-second zone for a long time. If he didn't make a shot, he would be called a three-second violation, so he had to push Wang Dalin with his shoulders down, followed by an elbow, and then forced a hook shot.

"beep……"

The referee blew the whistle, and Olajuwon swung his elbow when he dropped his shoulders on the ball, which was an offensive foul.

Counting this ball, Wang Dalin defended against Olajuwon three times in a row, but he succeeded in two consecutive mid-range shots, showing outstanding performance on both offensive and defensive ends.

Looking back, Anthony Carter did not pass the ball to Wang Dalin, but passed it to Ricky Davis.Being a point guard sometimes...you have to "have it all in the rain."

There is one thing to say, although Davis's IQ has been owed for a long time, his breakthrough speed is still very fast, and he left the opposing Matt Brad behind with a change of direction.

After reaching the basket, he jumped high, and this posture was clearly about to hit a tomahawk-style dunk. As a result... Olajuwon leaped lightly with his long arms raised high, and smashed down the ball with his head covered his face.

The old "Dream" may have been difficult to play high-quality performance on the offensive end, but his ability to protect the frame is still not to be underestimated, and he can at least rank in the top [-] in the league.

The ball bounced off the ground and just flew into Wang Dalin's hands. Olajuwon hurriedly slid over to cover the defense. Power forward Maurice Taylor also came to double-team. For a while, Wang Dalin was "male on both sides."

Wang Dalin flicked his wrist while holding the ball high, and the basketball suddenly flew into the hands of AC Green, who was unguarded on the other side.Green raised his knife and landed, and hit the wide-open mid-range shot steadily.

Come on, even though he failed to score by himself, the assists are equally good.

Looking back, Francis did not pass the ball to Olajuwon in this attack, but waved to everyone to pull away, and he wanted to single Carter.

If he was facing Vince Carter, the "Toronto Dragon King" who is now in full swing, he might not dare to make a mistake, but what kind of onion is Anthony Carter?An older second-year rookie who entered the NBA without being drafted!

Anthony Carter, who was born in June 1975, is now 6 years old, but this season is only his second season in the NBA. He currently averages more than 25 minutes per game, and can get 20 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists. The average data per game is not as good as Wang Dalin.

In the 2000-2001 season, Francis has already entered the peak of his career. His explosive physical fitness makes his breakthrough extremely sharp. Although Carter is 188cm tall like him, his speed is not at the same level at all.

Without using too many fancy dribbling moves, Francis changed his body forward twice and then directly overwhelmed Carter with his speed. He broke into the three-second zone and jumped high to face Wang Dalin. It looked like a dunk.

Wang Dalin also sent the ball hard, standing firmly with his feet outside the reasonable collision zone, and protecting his lower body with his arms—he wanted to make Francis an offensive foul.

What a "Boss Fu", after he took off, he made a weird 180-degree turn in the air, and the right hand that caught the ball made a back pass. The basketball flew past Wang Dalin and landed steadily in the hands of "Dream" standing under the basket.

"Damn it, it's too bad..."

Wang Dalin knew with his ass that this ball would definitely be selected as the best ball of the week, and his own background board was also determined...

"Clang!"

Olajuwon dunked with both hands and roared after landing, as if venting his depression in this game.

Francis also hurried over to congratulate him, with high fives and chest bumps.

"Have you seen that? Kenny!" Buckley held back for a long time, finally had a chance to groan, and instantly turned on the climax mode, "I said earlier that Hakim will return! You must know the truth of 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse'! Even if Hakeem is old, he is not comparable to a rookie like Darling King!"

Smith pursed his lips and didn't make any sound. It's useless to say anything at this moment. This ball is indeed quite exciting.

"This ball is mine!" Carter came over and patted Wang Dalin's butt, and said apologetically, "Wang, don't take it to heart. I'll pass the ball to you later, and you give him back one!"

Green also came over to comfort him and said, "It's okay, isn't it just a dunk? I'll cover you later, and you dunk him too!"

If the 18-year-old recruit Danzi does not pay attention to his words and deeds in the team, he will easily be rejected by the veterans in the team, or even collectively targeted.

But if this rookie plays selflessly on the court and often buys donuts and drinks for the veterans, so well-behaved and sensible, the veterans will take great care of this "little brother" and even "love" him!
That's right, Wang Dalin is now the "group favorite" of the Heat, even Ricky Davis and Eddie House are quite envious of him.

"Okay!" Wang Dalin was also angry, and secretly said, "Even if you are one of the top 50 players in history, I must beat you today!"

After halftime, Carter didn't waste any time this time and passed the ball directly to Wang Dalin. Sure enough, Green came over and set him a one-block screen. Wang Dalin broke through to the basket without hesitation.

Olajuwon stepped back slowly while interfering with his dribbling. He never thought that Wang Dalin would take a step back to widen the distance, and then pull up a "big iron-blooded jumper", very much like the No. 21 of the Timberwolves.

The distance of the ball was quite far, 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 voice of Olajuwon's thugs.

"Shua"-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 percentage will not be lower than 80%. It is no surprise that he hit this ball steadily.

After hitting the free throw, Wang Dalin smiled slightly at Olajuwon who was about to serve the bottom line: "Hey, Hakeem, you should wake up from this dream!"

Olajuwon: "I..."

"beep!"

Rockets head coach Rudy Tomjanovich quickly called a tentative decision. The Heat's chasing momentum was too fierce in the first few minutes of the second quarter, and he had to make some adjustments.
