Chapter 292 The New King of Los Angeles

The second "Reaper Special Training Camp" in 2004 was generally successful. Although it existed for a short time, less than a month in total, there were quite a lot of stars participating in this special training camp.

In addition to the organizers and founders Wang Dalin and Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming, Nash, Stoudemire, Artest, Garnett, Tracy McGrady, Carter, Kidd and many other first-line NBA stars participated in it, as well as Iguodala, Howard and Okafor, several rookies of this year also came.

To put it bluntly...with the lineup of the "Reaper Special Training Camp", an NBA All-Star Game can be assembled.

One can imagine... In such an environment, how much nutrition like Iguodala, Howard and Okafor can draw from old players!

So when the team started the official training camp, Iguodala really surprised the old Dunleavy.

Iguodala had already had his side profile done before the draft. Old Dunleavy had read his physical test reports. For example, he was 197.5cm tall in bare feet, 200cm tall in shoes, and 211cm in wingspan.

For example, his vertical jump height was 77.5cm when he was on the side, but now it has been raised to 82cm; his run-up jump height, his data was 87.5cm during the physical test, and now it has reached 93cm...Old Dunleavy can see that this may not be his limit.

(As for the improvement of Iguodala's jumping ability, you should be able to understand it when you think about his performance in the dunk contest in his rookie season... How could his maximum jumping height be only 87.5cm with such explosive jumping ability?)
And what surprised the old Dunleavy most about Iguodala was not how explosive his physical fitness was, but his amazing performance on the defensive end.

During the group confrontation practice, Korver, Barnes, Simmons, Jones, Jarich, House and other outside players were all defended by him, and even Artest didn't take advantage of him.

Later, the old Dunleavy asked him to defend Kukoc. As a result, the veteran of the Bull Dynasty also suffered a lot under his hands, and his offensive efficiency dropped a lot.

Until the old Deng Levy arranged him to face Wang Dalin, this powerful rookie was finally deflated... Not to mention that he is just a rookie, even if he is already a member of the best defensive team in later generations, he can only try his best to restrain Wang Dalin, and the effect will definitely not be much better.

Although Iguodala was taught a lesson by Wang Dalin, overall his performance has been quite good... Old Dunleavy is very satisfied with him, and the team members are also full of respect for him.

It's like this in the NBA...you have to be strong, and your teammates will respect you, otherwise you are a rookie waiting to be bullied!

Beginning on October 10, the NBA preseason finally kicked off.

The Clippers will participate in a total of 8 preseason games. The opponents are the Suns, Warriors, Kings and Lakers, each playing one home and away game.

In the first six games, the Clippers had a total of 4 wins and 2 losses... Neither Wang Dalin nor Artest played. They were able to win 6 games out of 4 games, which is considered quite good.

In these 6 games, Damon Jones, Tony Kukoc, and Andre Iguodala, who joined the team, performed very well, but Greg Ostertag's performance was a bit unsatisfactory. He averaged only 21 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 blocks in 0.7 minutes per game.

This is just the preseason. If it is the regular season, his performance may not be so hip!

After seeing Ostertag's poor performance, "Master Baylor" obviously had a bad face... Originally, he was quite proud of his signing, but unexpectedly, he was mistaken.

The three players proposed by Wang Dalin all performed brilliantly on the field, but Ostertag, who was the only one who signed by himself, was so stretched, which also made "Lord Baylor" feel particularly embarrassing.

……

The last two games of the preseason were against the Lakers. These two games still did not make an appearance. In the end, under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers played one win and one loss against the Clippers.

Needless to say, the Lakers won the game, and the game they lost... Kobe was seriously inaccurate under Iguodala's all-out marking, and only hit 26 goals out of 9 shots in the game.

After the game, Kobe was not very satisfied with his performance at the press conference, but he was full of praise for Iguodala's performance... He said that this is a young man like himself in 1996. His fighting spirit on the court deserves everyone's praise, and his future is absolutely limitless.

Regarding this, Wang Dalin couldn't help but smile triumphantly... Iguodala's future is of course limitless, otherwise why would I suggest that "Lord Baylor" trade him?
After the end of the preseason, the teams went through a short rest, and the 2004-2005 NBA regular season finally kicked off.

The Clippers' first game was at home against the Sonics. In this matchup, the Clippers easily defeated their opponents 114:84.

此役王大林全场17投11中，其中三分球7投4中，罚球8投8中，砍下34分15篮板10助攻的大号三双，并且还送出了2次抢断和3次封盖。

Attentive fans have discovered that although Wang Dalin's statistics in this game are not bad, he did not go all out at all, and he only played less than half of the fourth quarter before taking a rest.

In fact, it is very normal, this is the strength that the system host should have to reach the S level!
Of course, the system's evaluation criteria for hosts are different from other people's. Normally, the level of system hosts is always one level higher than other people's, even a little five levels higher!
To put it more bluntly... When Wang Dalin was still at the A+ level, his real strength had already surpassed the S level, and it is very likely that he has already reached the S+ level!
This is also why he was able to beat the entire league in the previous two seasons... If the system's evaluation criteria for hosts are the same as other people's evaluation standards, how can he beat those S-level superstars with a mere A+ level?
So... Don't look at the current system's comprehensive ability value of only 96. In fact, his strength has exceeded the full value of 99 in the conventional sense, and he is stronger than the "Peak Shark" at the peak of his strength!
Just an opening match is not enough to show the full strength of Wang Dalin, nor can it prove how powerful the overall strength of the defending champion is.

于是……在11月的所有比赛中快船队轻轻松松来了一波15连胜，而王大林在这个月场均37.8分15.2篮板10.8助攻2.3抢断2.8盖帽的数据也震惊了整个北美体坛。

人们还以为上赛季场均36.9分14.7篮板10.1助攻2.3抢断2.6盖帽已是他的极限，没想到他还在持续变强的过程之中！

Of course, Wang Dalin's personal performance is too outstanding, so that the personal data of the "second master" Artest has been compressed to a certain extent.

原本历史中，这个赛季阿泰斯特在出战的7场比赛中场均可以得到24.6分6.4篮板3.1助攻1.7抢断0.9盖帽，这一世他的场均数据下降到了21.3分5.6篮板3.2助攻1.8抢断0.8盖帽。

The decline is not too big, and his offensive efficiency is even higher than in the original history, especially his three-point shooting percentage reached 41.7%... In the original history, Artest has never reached such a height in the field of three-pointers in his career!
Besides the two of them, the best performer of the Clippers should be Damon Jones.

Although his role in the team is the sixth man, he averaged 12.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 0.6 steals per game. He averaged 6.4 three-pointers per game, hit 2.7 goals, and made 43.2% of his three-pointers.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the three-pointer, Damon Jones deserves to be called the "No.

还有伊戈达拉，他在这个月场均可以得到10.4分5.3篮板1.9助攻1.2抢断0.4盖帽，投篮命中率44.6%，三分命中率38.1%，罚球命中率79.3%。

As a rookie, such a performance is definitely impressive enough. If he keeps playing like this, he will definitely be in the top five of this year's rookies... It's not an exaggeration to even rank in the top three!
Let's look at another team in Los Angeles... After losing O'Neal, although the Lakers got Lamar Odom and Caron Butler, they only played 11 wins and 15 losses in 9 games in November.

Although this result is not bad, even the majority of Lakers fans are quite satisfied, but when the two teams meet for the first time in the new season, the number of fans of the two teams in the "Staples Center" arena is even the same... You must know that this game is the home of the Lakers!
It suddenly became apparent that...the Lakers were no longer dominant in Los Angeles!

Some things are like this, when you can win the championship or have the quality of the championship, the fans will flock to you, and when your strength has declined, or even no hope of the championship, the fans will naturally go to other teams.

Since I am a fan, and I happen to live in the city of Los Angeles, so...why do I have to be a Lakers fan?

Are the Clippers bad?

They were the champions of last season!

Some people say it's wrong... Just like the Clippers owner Sterling, why should Los Angeles fans support his team?
Wang Dalin would say—"That's so fucking reasonable! If we change the boss, we might have replaced the Lakers as the masters of this city when we won the championship last season!"

In fact, what he said is not very accurate. In fact, since this season, more and more Los Angeles fans have chosen to take the Clippers as their home team.

And as the Clippers get stronger, this situation is likely to reverse.

In other words, in the not-too-distant future, when the Clippers and the Lakers meet in a game, it is very likely that the Clippers fans in the "Staples Center" will account for more than [-]%, or even more than [-]%!
Starting from the 2004-2005 season, the Clippers will gradually become the new home team of Los Angeles, and Wang Dalin will soon become the "New King of Los Angeles"!
……

The regular season in December was uneventful, and the Clippers still maintained a good state. They won another wave of 12 consecutive victories this month, raising their winning streak in the new season to 13 consecutive victories.

王大林的表现还是那么炸裂……他在这个月里场均可以轰出37.1分15.8篮板10.5助攻2.4抢断3.2盖帽，进一步巩固了自己“联盟No.1”的地位。

His phenomenal performance has naturally aroused discussions among many people. For example, his former teammate Charles Barkley praised him as always.

"Darling-Wang played an unbelievable performance, and his dominance on the court surpassed anyone in the history of the league...I'm not wrong, anyone!" Barkley said that, "Don't tell me about Michael Jordan, he is not Darling-Wang's opponent!"

Of course, what he said will cause a lot of criticism, and many retired NBA stars have expressed different opinions.

"Magic" Elvin Johnson said: "Maybe Darling Wang will become No.1 in NBA history in the future, but now he is not as good as Michael Jordan!"

Jordan's good brother Scottie Pippen also said: "Darling Wang is indeed the best player in active service, but if you compare him with Michael, I still think Michael is better!"

“天勾”贾巴尔是这样说的——“如果你们非要把达令-王拿来和迈克尔相比，那就等他再拿到3个总冠军、3个MVP、3个FMVP、8届得分王，再入选13届最佳阵容和13届最佳防守阵容……那样的话他才有资格和迈克尔相比！”

最终还是拉里.伯德这个“逼王”站出来说了句公道话——“达令-王已经获得了2个MVP、3个FMVP、2届得分王、2届助攻王、1届篮板王，3次入选最佳阵容，2次入选最佳防守阵容……这样的成就难道还不够耀眼吗？”

After saying this, he directly dissed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "In my opinion, even if Darling Wang retires now, he is qualified to be compared with Michael... Let's see in 10 years, maybe Michael can only look up to him at that time!"

The discussion about Wang Dalin continued to ferment, but the Clippers' winning streak never stopped. They won another 1 games in a row in January, directly breaking the record of 7 wins set by Wang Dalin leading the Pistons.

Now the discussion on Wang Dalin has decreased a lot, but the big discussion on "who can stop the Clippers from continuing their winning streak" has become more heated.

Soon they got the answer - on January 1th, the Clippers lost to the Kings 15:101, and the record for the longest winning streak in NBA history was maintained to the number "105"... Uh, this is just a coincidence, not that Wang Dalin deliberately used this number to pay tribute to Durant!

Besides, at this time, Durant is still in high school...
