Chapter 66 Tactical Status ([-]nd update today)

In the early morning of April 4, the Heat will fly to Washington, where they will challenge the Wizards in an away game that night.

Wang Dalin did not expect Riley to be so courageous, although he knew that Riley had always been a very courageous coach.

In the afternoon's adaptation training, everyone simply shot a layup. After the training, Riley announced an important decision-in the next regular season of this season, Wang Dalin will enter the starting lineup and serve as the second core of the team's offensive end.

Once this decision was announced, all the Heat players seemed calm, as if everyone thought Riley's decision was a matter of course, and even Mourning looked calm.

Everyone thought it was normal, but Wang Dalin was quite surprised.

It's not that he hasn't played a starter this season, but the total is about 10 games. The most important thing is that with Mourning's return, the Heat have always focused on Hardaway on the offensive end. Even if Riley sometimes arranges star singles tactics, Jones is the first choice, and Hardaway and Mason are the second choices.

After Mourning's return, he has been on the bench for about 20 minutes, but as soon as he comes on the field, the players will naturally regard him as the core of the offense, and Billy is very big in controlling the ball.

However, Mourning is not currently in the best condition. The defensive end is still [-]% successful in the past, but the offensive end performance is a bit unsatisfactory.

It is precisely because of this that the Heat have lost 4 of the last 3 games, only defeated the Bulls, the bottom of the league, and completely lost the demeanor of the third strongest team in the East.

So everyone should be very clear that Riley will definitely make certain changes. When this decision was announced, everyone believed that Riley made the most correct choice.

Maybe people didn't collect receipts and analyze data like assistant coaches on the team, but they felt right.Facts show that when Wang Dalin supports the ball at a high position, the Heat's offensive efficiency is the highest, even better than Hardaway's organization effect!

The NBA has not allowed zone defense these days, and Wang Dalin's power in the high position is much more powerful than the average point guard.He can either call the pick-and-roll to look for a jumper, or use the pick-and-roll to break through and then split the ball, or he can simply pull it out from the outside.

Wang Dalin has both height and wingspan, and he can bounce well, and the most important thing is that his outside shooting ability is quite good.Not only is the mid-range shot accurate, but his three-point shooting rate exceeds 36%, which surpasses most of the big players in the current league.

In addition, Wang Dalin is "very selfless" in his playing. He almost never plays recklessly with the ball. He is always willing to pass the ball to his teammates, which is why everyone likes him so much as a rookie.

It is true that Wang Dalin still lacks low-post offensive ability at present, and his defensive ability can only be regarded as the average level of the league, but he has the important task of being the core of the offense only by his mid-range shooting and passing.

Therefore, for the team's record, it is a very correct decision to let Wang Dalin be the core of the offense.

In Zhang's words, it means "reasonable"!
This season has played more than 70 games in the regular season. Wang Dalin has gradually matured from the initial youth, and his performance is getting better and more stable.

Hardaway, Jones, Grant, Mason and other key players are increasingly trusting him. They believe that this rookie will definitely bring more contributions to the Heat.

And everyone can see that Mourning has obviously reached a tacit agreement with Riley.He is currently in poor condition, so he chose to hibernate sensibly, and Riley agreed with the flow.

The history of the NBA has been around for decades. Although there are not many examples of rookies being able to become the core of the team's tactics, there are always a few, such as the "Magician" in the past, the "Answer" and "Stone Buddha" in the previous two years. It is very rare for Wang Dalin to achieve such a high tactical status after only playing dozens of games.

This game against the Wizards was quite anxious. Although the Heat adjusted their offensive tactics and performed significantly better than the previous games, the Wizards' rookie Courtney Alexander's sudden outburst caught them by surprise.

The rookie guard with the 13th pick in the first round selected by the Mavericks was traded to the Wizards in the middle of the season. He didn't get many opportunities when he was in the Mavericks. He averaged only about 12 minutes per game, averaging only 4.2 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game.

However, after arriving in the Wizards, he was reused by head coach Leonard Hamilton. He averaged 33.7 minutes per game and averaged 17.2 points, 3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.

Just looking at his performance in the Wizards, he can even be compared with the three best rookie candidates Wang Dalin, Kenyon Martin and Mike Miller.

So it's not uncommon for him to explode in this game. Wang Dalin had a large triple-double when he played against the Pistons before!
这场比赛亚历山大全场19投10中，其中三分球3投1中，罚球5罚5中，拿下26分3篮板2助攻。

Wang Dalin's performance in this game was both excellent and "normal". He scored 27 points, 19 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 block in 1 minutes. Although his score was lower than that of Alexander, his comprehensiveness was unmatched by the opponent.

莫宁替补登场21分钟就拿到16分8篮板1助攻，投篮11中8，打出了很高的效率。

It can be seen that the former All-Star center is slowly recovering.

The Heat finally defeated the Wizards with 89:85, drawing a successful conclusion to the game.

After the game, Mourning followed Riley to attend the press conference. When he was asked by the reporter what he thought of the rookie Wang Dalin, he couldn't help laughing.

"He is the best rookie in this class! He will definitely get the best rookie of the season!"

Mourning's answer was short and powerful.

Since Mourning missed too many games due to illness, and no one else in the Heat has played amazing performances and statistics, it is estimated that the entire Heat team will not get any individual awards this year, except for Wang Dalin...

The first is the best newcomer award, and the second is the best sixth man award. Wang Dalin's current performance and statistics are quite competitive for these two awards.

There are only three people competing for the best rookie this year, namely Wang Dalin, Kenyon Martin and Mike Miller. At present, Wang Dalin has an advantage in both personal data and team record.

The competition for the best sixth man is more intense. At present, everyone is generally optimistic about Aaron McGee, a backup shooting guard. His current averages are 11.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, which is slightly inferior to Wang Dalin.

However, his 76ers team ranks first in the Eastern Conference. Compared with the Heat, he still has a certain advantage in the team's record.

With the improvement of tactical status, Wang Dalin even has the opportunity to go further in the final stage of the season, so he also has a high probability of winning the award of the best sixth man.

Since no one can get any individual awards, the generals of the Heat are still very happy to help the little brother Wang Dalin...
