Chapter 79 Iron God Goes Online (Today's Second Update)

The Bucks' starting lineup is point guard Sam Cassell, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Glenn Robinson, power forward Tim Thomas, and center Scott Williams.

Wang Dalin served as the starting power forward, and his opponent was Thomas.

Thomas is 208cm tall and weighs 104KG. Born in February 1977, he was only 2 years old, and he was about to enter the peak of his career.

His height, wingspan and moving speed will not be a disadvantage against Wang Dalin, and his physical strength is slightly better than Wang Dalin.

And he is different from most inside players of this era, his long-range shooting ability is quite good.In the regular season this season, he averaged 3.4 three-pointers per game and hit 1.4, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 41.2%. He was second only to Ray Allen in terms of output and shooting percentage in the Bucks.

This season, he averaged 12.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in the regular season. If it weren't for his short-range and mid-range shooting percentages, he would definitely not only play such an offensive performance.

Just look at his shot selection -- 10.9 percent of his close-range 17.3-pointers, 12.4 percent of his mid-range 40.6-pointers, [-] percent of his long-range [-]-pointers, and a combined [-] percent.

And his shooting percentage in this part is only 35%, which is not as high as his three-point shooting percentage.

Speaking of it, it’s still the fault of this era. If George Karl can let Thomas take half of these shots to shoot three-pointers, with his three-point shooting rate of more than 40%, wouldn’t he be a “repeat” Rashard Lewis?
Wang Dalin likes to shoot from the middle distance because he can shoot accurately. If it weren't for the "only" 36.1% three-point shooting percentage, how could his overall shooting percentage be only 47.8%?

If you only look at short-range two-pointers, mid-range two-pointers and long-range two-pointers, his shooting percentage is over 53%.

Besides, 47.8% shooting rate is not low in this era. This season, Karl Malone's shooting rate is only 49.8%. He only shot 5 three-pointers throughout the season.

In fact, it is not very appropriate to compare Wang Dalin with traditional inside players like Ma Long. After all, he has spent most of this season in mid-to-long distance activities and rarely goes to the basket to attack.

As long as you are an individual, you know the truth that "the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score", so if you want to compare Wang Dalin's shooting percentage horizontally, you should compare most of the small forwards in the league.

As the best small forward in the 90s, Scottie Pippen shot 47.3% from the field in his career, which is already very good in this era!

So don't think that Kobe's 44.7% shooting rate in his career is very iron. If he only entered the NBA in 2010, his shooting rate would probably be close to 50%.

Since 2010, the defensive strength of NBA teams has been declining year by year. Before that, it was undoubtedly much more difficult for super scorers to score in the game.

That's why there are so many keyboard warriors on the Internet saying that if Jordan was born in the small ball era, he could score 40 or 50 points per game... Although it is too exaggerated, this statement really makes sense!
Don't think that Jordan's three-point ability is too poor to survive in the small ball era. He has almost the best basketball talent in history, so how could he not be able to practice three-pointers?
It's just because the concept of basketball in his era was different!
Closer to home...

At the beginning of the game, Williams beat Grant with a jump ball, and the Bucks got the ball for the first attack.

After Cassell dribbled the ball through half court, he quickly passed the ball to Robinson-the team's first offense usually has to be handed over to the boss, and "Big Dog" is the boss of the current Bucks.

As the No. 1994 pick in the [-] draft, he is higher than the current "Gentleman Lei" regardless of his draft pick or seniority in the Bucks, so he is the boss of the Bucks no matter what.

Although this guy forced the Bucks to sign a 10-year $6800 million rookie contract with him before the start of his rookie season, it can be said that there is no one before and no one in the future, and his character is indeed relatively poor.

But this does not mean that his strength is not good, on the contrary, his strength is very strong, otherwise the Bucks would not have signed such an outrageous rookie contract with him.

Because of this, the NBA has issued a series of regulations on rookie contracts. Since then, the first-round picks of each year can only sign a contract with a maximum of 4 years, and the signing amount is also strictly restricted.

As expected of the man who forced the league to modify the rules, "Big Dog" averaged 21.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in his rookie season, and he is also one of the representative figures who are at their peak since their debut.

However, this guy is not serious about basketball and never trains hard, so his statistics have been similar to those of his rookie season since his debut.

In fact, from this aspect, it can better reflect this guy's perverted talent!

A person who has never trained hard can still perform at the All-Star level all the time. Isn't this a talent?
If Kobe didn't train hard, it is estimated that he would be selected to the All-Star team in his career!

Robinson made a three-threat move with the ball from beyond the three-point line, and Bowen, who was defending him, retreated a little.There is actually no problem with his defensive position. Robinson's three-point shooting rate this season is less than 30%. Bowen's defensive strategy is obviously to let go and not let go.

Once Robinson breaks into the three-second zone, his finishing rate at the basket is as high as 75%. With Grant and Wang Dalin's complementary defense, it will definitely be difficult.

Robinson observed Bowen's defensive position, pulled up and shot...

"Shh!"

This three-pointer was scored cleanly, without even touching the basket.

Robinson's three-pointer this season is iron, but for a star of his level, who knows how his shot feels?
Bowen's defensive strength must be top-notch in the league, but when the opponent's star feels hot, he basically has nothing to do.

Besides, this is only the first ball. Bowen judged that this ball was somewhat lucky, and it may not be that Robinson's touch tonight was overwhelmed.

麦迪2004-2005赛季三分命中率只有32.6%，可他在2004年12月9日对阵马刺的那场比赛中却上演了35秒13分的壮举。

在那35秒里麦迪三分球4投4中，其中有一个还是“3+1”，难道那不是运气吗？

So this defensive failure did not cause any fluctuations in Bowen's psychology. He just ran to the frontcourt expressionlessly.

Hardaway was also expressionless, dribbled the ball to the front court and passed the ball to Wang Dalin who was at the top of the three-point arc.

After Wang Dalin received the ball and turned around, he saw that Thomas hadn't had time to raise the high position to defend himself, so he pulled it up and scored a three-pointer... "Shuh!"

"Great!" Wang Dalin laughed inwardly, "That's right, if you want to make iron, you must be the first one. This is the correct way to start today's plan!"

Looking back, the Bucks continued to let Robinson single-play Bowen, but Bowen still didn't press close to the ball, and Robinson made another shot... This shot was ironed.

When it was the Heat's turn to attack, Hardaway dribbled the ball halfway and signaled Wang Dalin to give him a pick-and-roll. Wang Dalin went over to help him block Kassel honestly.

Hardaway took advantage of Wang Dalin's cover to hit the inside shot and missed. Grant grabbed the rebound and missed the second attack.Wang Dalin quickly rushed into the three-second zone to grab the offensive rebound, and then made a strong shot...

"Snapped!"

Williams made a volleyball smash-style block and fanned the ball directly out of the sideline.

"Roar……"

With such a wonderful hot pot at the beginning, Williams hammered his chest excitedly and shouted to the sky, just like the No. 21 of the Timberwolves.

The audience immediately cheered and screamed like a gunpowder keg was ignited.

Wang Dalin was very depressed on the surface, but he couldn't help but started to laugh...

Do you think it would be embarrassing for me to be covered?

...Well, it's really embarrassing!
However, after I cast 16 times... let's see who loses face?

The shot just now was the beginning of Lao Tzu's "Tie Shen Going Online"...
