Chapter 53 Showing favor in many ways ([-]) (today's second update)
On the evening of February 2, the 13 All-Star Game finally started.

Everything was as Wang Dalin remembered, the Western Stars had been leading the first three quarters, and even before the start of the fourth quarter they had a lead of more than 20 points.

In the last quarter, Iverson and Marbury led the team to launch a desperate counterattack. Among them, Iverson scored 15 points in the final quarter, and Marbury made a key three-pointer to overtake the score.

The Western team had a chance to kill, but Kobe passed the ball to Duncan, and Duncan's final shot was ruthlessly blocked by Carter. In the end, Iverson was elected the MVP of this All-Star Game.

After the All-Star Game, the teams resumed their regular season journey.

On February 2, the Heat sat at home to face the challenge of the Clippers.

This game was not broadcast live on TNT, but in another live broadcast of the Lakers' away game against the Nets, Smith asked Barkley to honor the bet on the spot-eat his underwear!
"Hey, Charles, in order to let you taste the authentic Kenny's original taste, I have worn these underwear for three days, and I brought you here before washing!" Smith took something out of a paper bag with a half-smile, and saw that the yellow "underpants" were covered with stains, black...it looked disgusting!

Looking at the thing Smith was holding, Barkley almost cried on the spot.

What the hell are they called underwear?
Are you sure it's not a rag from a toilet?

When he took the "underpants" from Smith's hand with trembling hands, he realized that this black thing turned out to be an egg pancake covered with a layer of dark chocolate... Who knows which Michelin chef Smith hired to make the egg pancake look like underwear?

This is just a gimmick by TNT TV station, how could they let Barkley really eat Smith's underwear?

At the same time, the Heat's game against the Clippers ended in a fierce confrontation.

此战快船队的埃里克.皮亚考斯基、肖恩.卢克斯和科里.马盖蒂三名主力轮换球员均表现拉胯，尽管“左手魔术师”拉马尔.奥多姆打出了19分7篮板6助攻的全面表现，快船仍旧99:101输掉了这场比赛。

It can be seen from the score that the Heat were actually very lucky to win, because the three main rotation players, Wang Dalin, Dan Marley and AC Green, also performed very well.

I don't know if it's because he performed too well in the All-Star rookie competition and lost his character. Wang Dalin's performance in this battle can be described as "unsightly".

全场14投仅3中，罚球4罚2中，打了29分钟才拿下8分4篮板3助攻……这种表现对于刚加冕了新秀对抗赛MVP的王大林来说完全就是一场灾难。

Fortunately, he touched Anthony Mason's head in the second half. Without Mason's highlight performance of 27 points and 12 rebounds in this game, and the game-winning shot he made at the last moment, the Heat would have been cold.

At the end of the game, Wang Dalin and Odom exchanged jerseys. The "Left-Handed Magician" smiled and said: "Boy, you beat me two days ago, and today I can take revenge!"

Not to be outdone, Wang Dalin said, "Lamar, you have to figure it out, we are the winners today!"

Odom said with a smile: "Anyway, our team is almost at the bottom of the West, so what if we win today? I only care about whether I can win a victory against you kid, and I don't care about the rest!"

Wang Dalin was speechless, so he rolled his eyes.

Odom said with a smile: "I'm just kidding, you won't take it seriously, right? By the way, kid, actually I think your style is very similar to mine. If we work together, we must be very good. What do you think?"

Wang Dalin laughed and said: "You can pull it down! If we are in the same team, who is inside and who is outside?"

Odom laughed and said, "What's the problem then? I'll play inside, and you can play high post support? Let me tell you, if we were partners, even that 'shark' wouldn't be afraid. Believe it or not, we can sneak him to death?"

Wang Dalin did not answer.

At this moment, he simulated the scene where he and Odom became teammates in his mind, and found that it was as Odom said... When two inside players on the same team have very good outside shooting ability, the power is indeed quite fierce!

If you really meet O'Neill, how do you let him defend?
Mention the high post to guard against shots?

Do you want an insider?
Defensive rebounds or not?
If that were the case, Wang Dalin and Odom could take turns firing from beyond the three-point line, guaranteeing that this "shark" would be depressed to death.

……

On February 2, the Heat challenged the Raptors away.

In this game, Vince Carter seemed to have turned on the switch of "Avatar". The "half-human, half-god" scored 36 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.

Even if Wang Dalin "buffed" Bruce Bowen, it wouldn't help. When Carter broke out with all his strength, no one could stop him these days.

Fortunately, for the Heat, Eddie Jones finally returned from injury. In this game, facing Carter's offensive frenzy, he did not back down, but confronted the top swingman in the league.

Eddie Jones also scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in this game. Although he was not as explosive as Carter's performance, he still supported the Heat's outside offense with his own strength.

Wang Dalin's hip stretched in the last game, and this game finally returned to normal, scoring 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

还有梅森得到了18分8篮板，哈达威贡献出16分10助攻，热火总算以99:91赢下了这场客场之旅。

After the game, players from both sides hugged and saluted each other.

When Carter and Wang Dalin hugged, he leaned against his ear and said, "Brother, how about coming to Toronto next season?"

"What?" Wang Dalin's English skills were still poor, and the noise from the fans was too loud, so he really couldn't hear clearly.

"Brother, I mean...how about you coming to Toronto next season? Our partner will definitely not be much worse than the two in Los Angeles!" Carter had to slow down and whisper in his ear.

"Brother...the season is not over yet!" Wang Dalin showed an awkward yet polite smile.

"I know..." Carter smiled, "So we can leave a contact information first, and I will definitely call you after the season is over... You mustn't answer my call!"

Wang Dalin quickly laughed and said, "How can that be?"

……

On February 2, the Heat continued their road trip, and their opponent in this game was the Chicago Bulls.

Since the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan retired, the Bulls have become a big fish. They have been at the bottom of the Eastern Conference for two consecutive seasons... more precisely, they are at the bottom of the league.

So far this season, the Bulls have "lived up to expectations" and are still at the bottom of the league.It has been more than fifty games, and they only won 10 games!
Check out who's on their team...

Starting lineup: center Brad Miller, power forward Elton Brand, small forward Ron Artest, shooting guard Ron Moser, point guard Bruce Drew.

Do you think the first three seem familiar?
That's right, it's the three people you think of!

Brad Miller, who is in the third grade, has not yet grown into the All-Star center in the future, but he has already shown a very good potential.

If the Bulls can let Miller play high-post support tactics, they won't be at the bottom of the league.

You must know that Brand is already an All-Star power forward at this time, averaging more than 20 points and 10 rebounds per game. In addition, Artest, a perimeter defender who averages 11.9 points and 2 steals per game, and Ron Moser, who can contribute 19.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game... If you want to attack and defend, what is weak?
This Bulls team actually has only one weakness, and that is their point guard Bruce Drew. As the starting point guard, he averaged only 6.3 points and 3.9 assists per game!

It can be said that as long as the Bulls can have a slightly more reliable point guard, they will definitely be able to reach the top ten in the Eastern Conference, or even the top eight.

As a result, the Heat, who ranked second in the Eastern Conference, lost 82:89 to the Bulls, who were at the bottom of the league, breaking the biggest upset in the NBA in the past month.

Wang Dalin was not without hard work. He scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and "buffed" Mason, who has performed the best recently, but the Heat still lost.

The main reason is that the whole team's touch is not online. Except for Wang Dalin, no one shot more than 40% from the field... It would be a miracle if they could win the game!

And "patting your head" is not a panacea. Mason only made 10 of 2 shots in this game, and only scored 9 points and 7 rebounds with free throws in the game. His performance was seriously abnormal.

After playing the Bulls, the Heat lost to the Knicks in an away game on February 2, with a score of 21:74.

When shaking hands with the opponent after the game, Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy shook Wang Dalin's hand and smiled, "Young man, you played well in this game. I look forward to having the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future!"

Wang Dalin almost suffered from "embarrassing cancer". He only made 12 of 4 shots in this game, so he played well?

Maybe in Van Gundy's eyes, as long as he is willing to defend hard... it's called a good game, right?
Cooperation?

Even our Chairman Yao made you useless, let's cooperate with you!
