am i proud?

Chapter 60 Unanimous praise (today's second update)
On the night of March 3, the news of Wang Dalin's triple-double angrily spread across the United States.

Don't doubt that triple-doubles are still very rare these days, especially large triple-doubles with 30+ points, and Wang Dalin is still under 19 years old.

The most well-known sports media in the United States, "Sports Illustrated", published this news in an entire page, with the headline "The Heat's Chinese rookie hits a blockbuster, smashes a large triple-double"!
In addition, another well-known American sports media "Bleacher Report" reported in more detail.They released five full articles about Wang Dalin, one of which described Wang Dalin's life in detail, including his experience of winning the national high school basketball championship in China.

On March 3, ESPN TV specially organized a talk show. They invited famous basketball players Dominique Wilkins, Moses Malone, Nate Thurmond and "Dr. J" Julius Erwin to be the guests who have retired for many years, and launched a wonderful discussion on Wang Dalin's phenomenal performance in a single game.

"I want to say that Darling Wang's performance last night was absolutely phenomenal!" Moses Malone said with a smile, "Everyone sitting here...including me of course, who can play such a performance when they are under 19 years old?"

"You can't say that!" Julius Owen smiled. "You must know that we didn't have many players who graduated from high school and went directly to the draft!"

"That's right!" Wilkins said, "If I enter the NBA at the age of 18, I can also hit a triple-double before the age of 19, and it is the same 30+ triple-double as Darling-Wang last night!"

Nate Thurmond said seriously: "You can pull it down! Little guy, if I remember correctly, you have never had a triple-double in your career, have you?"

Thurmond was born in 1941, and Wilkins was born in 1960. Calling him "little guy" is not a pedantic act.

Wilkins blushed and said stiffly, "Even if I can't do it, 'Dr. J' will be fine, right?"

Moses smiled and said, "I have been teammates with Julius for four years. Whether he can do it, I think... I should have a say?"

Speaking of this, he also winked at "Dr. J", and the two former teammates were full of "basic love" for a while.

"Dr. J" smiled and said, "Don't talk about it, Moses, I have this self-knowledge. Even if I entered the league at the age of 18, I should not be able to play like Darling-Wang's performance before the age of 19! Our players at that time were still more keen on dunking, and few people were so focused on passing assists!"

Julius Owen was indeed a first-tier player in the league from the mid-70s to the mid-80s, but comparing Wang Dalin's age, it depends on his performance in college.

He studied at the University of Massachusetts in college. He averaged 32.5 points and 20.2 rebounds per game in two years of college. His performance was indeed quite explosive, but he was never a master of assists.

Mond nodded and said: "That's right, it's really easy for me and Moses to hit a double-double, but it's hard for us to send 10 assists in a single game!"

Thurmond is indeed the first recorded player in the NBA to score a quadruple-double in a single game, but that doesn't mean he can easily hit a triple-double.

In fact, although he averaged 15 points and 15 rebounds per game in his career, his average assists per game were only 2.7.

The same is true for Moses Malone, who averaged 20.6 points and 12.2 rebounds per game in his career, but his average assists per game was lower than Thurmond's, only 1.4 times.

Wilkins said with a smile: "What you mean is that Darling-Wang has indeed played a phenomenal performance. This performance can be regarded as unprecedented, right?"

Moses Malone laughed and said, "I don't know if it's by no means unprecedented, but at least it's unprecedented!"

"Dr. J" nodded and said: "That's right, before Darling-Wang, the only one who came closest to this kind of performance was Irwin, but he was already 20 years old when he entered the league!"

The Irwin he said was "Magic" Irvin Johnson, the greatest player in the history of the Lakers... none of them!

"Magician" is very good at passing the ball. He has played 138 triple-doubles in the regular season in his career. If he also enters the league at the age of 18, maybe he can really hit a single-game triple-double before the age of 19. This record of "Mr. Youngest Triple-Double" will be unbroken for a long time.

In fact, there are three "Mr. Youngest Triple Doubles" among active players in the NBA this season.

1993年12月23日，在勇士主场与快船的比赛中，年仅20岁又297天的克里斯.韦伯全场砍下22分12篮板12助攻；

1997年4月16日，在凯尔特人对阵黄蜂的比赛中，20岁又247天的“胖头陀”安托万.沃克全场砍下23分10篮板10助攻，打破了韦伯的记录；
时间刚过5天，就在1997年4月19日灰熊对阵太阳的比赛中，阿卜杜.拉希姆打出了个人职业生涯首个三双，数据是26分10篮板10助攻，当时他才20岁又129天。

After four years, the young Wang Dalin has greatly broken this record, because he is still 19 days away from his 14th birthday!
With such a record, who knows who else can break it in the future?

即便在王大林的前世，2021年1月10日拉梅洛.鲍尔打破“最年轻三双先生”记录时，他的年龄也已经19岁又140天了。

Being able to own a record is not a bad thing for Wang Dalin, anyway, he will definitely create more records in the future... Why not be able to walk your own path while leaving others nowhere?
On March 3, Wang Dalin's triple-double was still being fermented, but he didn't have time to pay attention to how the media commented on him, because tonight the Heat will challenge the Cavaliers away in Cleveland.

Originally, this game was scheduled to be broadcast live across the United States, and David Stern was extremely satisfied with this schedule.

As the saying goes, "you have to eat hot shit too", taking advantage of Wang Dalin's craze is at its peak, at this time you can see Wang Dalin on the national live broadcast, how attractive will it be to fans?

Can the ratings be any worse?

TNT TV station's "Non-mainstream cross talk group" is online again.

Before the game started, Smith joked: "Charles, do you want to make a bet with me tonight?"

Barkley's old face was as thick as a city wall, and he said without changing his face: "Bet? Why bet? Do you think I will bet on Darling Wang? NO, NO, NO... You are wrong, Kenny! We should have the minimum respect for Darling Wang, the youngest triple-double player in NBA history. It is obviously too frivolous to bet on him!"

Smith laughed and said, "Just bet on whether Darling-Wang can hit a triple-double tonight. If he can do it, then I win. If he can't, then you win. How about it?"

Barkley came to his senses immediately: "What's the bet? Or eat chocolate egg pancakes?"

……

As a reward for Wang Dalin's wonderful performance in the last game, Riley arranged for him to enter the starting lineup in this game. The Heat's starting five are Wang Dalin, Grant, Mason, Jones and Hardaway.

Wang Dalin was at the center again in this game. Since "Big Z" Ilgauskas was reimbursed for the season due to injury, the rookie center Chris Mihm jumped the ball with him on the Cavaliers side.

Mihm is 213cm tall and weighs 120KG. He is the kind of meat shield center that every team aspires to have in that era. So seeing that he averaged 17.7 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game in his junior year, how could the draft market be so bad?
In fact, Mihm was the seventh pick in the first round of the 2000 draft and went on to have an extremely mediocre career.

……

Looking at Wang Dalin whose eyes were completely level with his own, Mim couldn't help slandering: "How shameless are the Heat? With Darling-Wang's height, how can they report 206cm?"

Compared with the cumbersome Meme, Wang Dalin's bounce height and bounce speed are obviously higher, and his wingspan also has an obvious advantage, and he easily won the first attack for the Heat.

And when Wang Dalin came to the frontcourt and went to the high position to catch the ball again, the Cavaliers' starting five tigers seemed to have a chill in their vests... This kid, don't get another triple-double on our team?
