am i proud?

Chapter 96
(Thanks to "Michael Kobe" for the reward of 600 starting coins! Thanks to "Bland is true" for the reward of 100 starting coins!)

Coach Wang Fei thought that the Australian team would reverse the situation immediately after Wang Dalin left the field, but he did not expect that the Chinese team was still in full swing in the third quarter and won another 4 points in a single quarter.

In addition to the 11 points leading in the first half, the Chinese team has led by as many as 15 points after three quarters.

This is a game under FIBA ​​rules, each quarter only lasts 10 minutes, and a lead of 15 points after three quarters is not a small number!
For the Australian team, it is too difficult to recover the 15-point gap in one quarter.According to the rules of the NBA, if there is so much difference in playing another 3 minutes, it is almost garbage time.

Some people say that the difference of 15 points is not big?
Isn't it just about five three-pointers?
Don't look at the game of this era with the eyes of the small ball era. Players these days don't shoot so many three-pointers in a game!

Even Antoine Walker, who took the most three-pointers in the NBA last season, averaged only 7.4 shots from beyond the three-point line per game, and he only made 2.7 shots per game.

Among the players who averaged more than 5 three-pointers per game, only Ray Allen and Vince Carter had a shooting percentage above 40%.

Coach Gore also thought that the game was lost. After the end of the third quarter, he did not arrange too many tactics. Unexpectedly, after the fourth quarter, the Australian team suddenly played a small climax, chasing the score to 3:48 in just 67 minutes and 73 seconds.

From a good situation with a lead of 15 points, they were chased to a lead of only 6 points. The players of the Chinese team were beaten a little bit.

Coach Wang Fei quickly called a timeout. Everyone was in a bad state. He had to give everyone a reassurance, otherwise the game might be turned into victory by the Australian team.

"What's wrong with you all? Why do I feel that you all seem to be players from amateur sports schools?" Coach Wang Fei jokingly laughed, "Cheer up your spirits, watch your own people, and don't let them rush inside to score! Don't worry about offense, just hand the ball to Dalin when you get to the frontcourt!"

Wang Dalin was taken aback when he heard the words, and then couldn't help but laugh... Wow!I thought I could only sit on the bench for this game, so I can still play?

After the timeout, both sides continued to play.

The Chinese team has made some adjustments to the lineup, replacing the slow-moving Battelle with Wang Dalin. "Junior" Yao Ming moved to the center position, Wang Zhizhi was the power forward, and Wang Dalin came to the third position.

McKinen, who made consecutive breakthroughs on the Australian team just now, was dumbfounded. Since Wang Dalin hadn't played in the third quarter, Coach Gore arranged him to play small forward at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

One thing to say, this arrangement is actually very reasonable. McKinen is better than Li Nan and Zhang Jinsong who were on the court before in terms of technique and physical fitness, so he can succeed in consecutive singles.

But now that the opposing player was suddenly replaced by Wang Dalin, McKinen suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Wang Dalin scored a three-pointer as soon as he played, and then blocked McKinen's emergency stop jumper on the defensive end.

This ball McKinen swore that he had moved Wang Dalin by more than one position, but for a monster with such wingspan as Wang Dalin, is just one position enough?
Unless you are as tall as Garnett, or you can jump like Kobe and Tracy McGrady, this shooting space...is really not safe!
Wang Dalin played brilliantly as soon as he came up, and the players of the Chinese team immediately regained their confidence, and both offense and defense returned to the state of the first three quarters.

Coach Wang Fei couldn't help smiling when he saw this scene... With Wang Dalin, the game is much easier.

In the past, the Chinese men's basketball team was often at a loss when they encountered difficulties. Even if the coach called a timeout to arrange tactics, everyone could not implement the coach's deployment on the court.

This is also a problem that the Chinese men's basketball team often made in the past. If you encounter these weak teams in Asia, it's fine. Anyway, the strength is enough to crush the opponent;

All in all, the psychological quality is still not good!
Which of these men's basketball players is not a big shot in the domestic CBA league?But they often lost the chain when they came to the international arena, so that they were scolded by the fans as "experts in civil wars, amateurs in foreign wars".

Indeed, most of their opponents in the CBA league are domestic players. Even if each team has one or two foreign players, the highest level is at the marginal level of the NBA. What kind of strong opponents can they usually encounter?
Wang Dalin is different. His opponents in the NBA are all the top players in the world.After nearly a hundred high-intensity games, he has long been used to this kind of scene, and he is even a little numb.

Although Wang Dalin's current strength is better than that of domestic players, the most important thing is that he has better psychological quality. He can keep calm when facing difficult situations, and play as he should.

Besides... Playing this Australian team is really not a "difficult situation" for him.

Isn't it just getting a small orgasm by the opponent?
Wouldn't it be enough to call back?
With 3 minutes and 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter, coach Wang Fei replaced Wang Dalin.The score has come to 78:91, the Chinese team leads by 13 points, it is meaningless for Wang Dalin to stay on the court.

这场比赛王大林总共上场不过22分钟，全场10投7中，其中三分球5投3中，外加罚球6投5中，拿到22分7篮板5助攻，表现得既高效又全面。

When he walked slowly to the bench, the audience in the stands gave him the warmest applause, and Zhang Zilin shouted again: "Wang Dalin, I love you!"

Unexpectedly, when she called out, many young girls in the stands shouted loudly: "Wang Dalin, I love you!"

Wang Dalin pointed at the audience and smiled mischievously, making a cute scissors hand and saying, "Yeah!"

Ahhh... it's impossible to be cute!

However, he waved to the audience before turning around and sitting down... Everyone cheered so enthusiastically, how can it be unreasonable not to give some response?

There were no disturbances in the final stage of the game. Anyway, this Chinese men's basketball team did not have a certain "Polish basketball star". The final score was 82:95, and the Chinese team won by a big score.

After the game, Su Qun found Wang Dalin immediately and gave him a brief sideline interview with a smile on his face.

"Dalin, first of all, congratulations to our Chinese men's basketball team for winning tonight's game. Do you have anything to say about this game?"

"Actually, it's nothing... The main reason is that the Australian team's strikers are still too weak. It's normal for us to win!"

"Hmm... May I ask what your evaluation of your teammates is?"

"Well... generally very good, Lao Liu is also very good, and Lao Hu, his three-pointers are almost catching up with me, I feel very comfortable playing with them!"

"Then... can you tell us about the goal of the Chinese men's basketball team participating in the Asian Championships?"

"Goal? What other goals? Of course the champion!"

Su Qun was a little speechless, but Wang Dalin's answer...was so damn toothache!
Fortunately, the last question was answered very sonorously, which can be regarded as an early declaration of victory.

When he was approaching the players' tunnel, a slender and slender figure suddenly descended from the sky, scaring Wang Dalin to the side.

After stepping away, it was clear that this person was Zhang Zilin who had shouted "Wang Dalin, I love you" several times before, and this girl jumped directly from the stands.

As expected of a hurdler, climbing the fence of the stands is also easy and enjoyable!
"Wang Dalin...can you sign me?" Zhang Zilin held a notebook and a pen, his big watery eyes were full of anticipation.

Wang Dalin smiled slightly, took it, and quickly wrote a line of words on the title page of the notebook-"May the beautiful girl who loves me always be healthy, always beautiful, and happy every day!"

The signature is "Wang Dalin who also loves you!"

In the previous life, I really liked you, and I dreamed countless days and nights that I could meet you one day... This life is considered a fulfillment of a dream that could not be realized in the previous life, right?
Wang Dalin handed her the notebook and pen back, smiled at her again, and then turned and walked into the players' tunnel.

Maybe Zhang Zilin jumped down from the stands so fast that the security guards didn't even have time to react. When they rushed over, Zhang Zilin had already disappeared.

Several security guards searched for a long time but failed to find anyone. After looking at each other, they had to disperse.

Just kidding... My sister is No.100 in the National Women's 4m Hurdles Junior Team!

Back in the locker room, coach Wang Fei organized a brief post-match summary meeting for everyone. He naturally praised Wang Dalin, Wang Zhizhi, and Hu Weidong for their good performance, and criticized several players who performed poorly, such as Bateer, Li Nan, and Zhang Jinsong.

Back at Meilong Base, Wang Dalin quickly called Schwartz.

He was in the game just now, so the phone was turned off, and Schwartz had already made several calls at that time.

The NBA trading market has opened on July 7, and Schwartz can make several phone calls to find him, which is obviously about contract quotations.

"Wang, you finally called back!" Schwartz's tone didn't sound anxious, but rather slowly, "Listen to me, I'm afraid you have to come back this time!"

"Oh? Which team? What kind of offer did you give?"

"It's Detroit. They offered 4 years of 4580 million US dollars, and the last year is a player option. This is already a maximum salary contract. Even if other teams offer you an offer, it can only be equal to the amount of this offer at most! So, I think you should come back quickly. I have already asked someone from the Pistons to interview in my office tomorrow."

"It's the Pistons...Okay...I'll ask Director Wang Fei and Director Ji to ask for leave immediately, and try to get on the plane tonight!"

……

In fact, Wang Dalin doesn't like the Detroit Pistons very much, mainly because the team has been "bad guys" in the 80s, and the reputation of the "Bad Boys" is really not very good.

Moreover, the Pistons' record last season was not very good, and they only ranked 10th in the Eastern Conference. If calculated by winning percentage, they can only rank 29st among the 21 teams in the league.

Although Wang Dalin knew that the Pistons would be reborn from the ashes next season, and that they would eventually finish second in the Eastern Conference, he really didn't like this team.

How good are the Lakers?You can hug the thighs of the "OK combination" when you go there!

The king is not bad, is he?Joining this Kings team, maybe they can overthrow the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. Originally, they were only a little bit behind!
How about the Nets in the East?Playing next to Kidd, can you score less?You can eat enough cakes alone!
Pistons... always feel like this team is full of dark side!
But now that the Pistons have offered him a maximum salary, even if other teams also offer him an offer, it will be this amount at most, and it cannot be higher.

And Schwartz wants him to go back so urgently, it seems that it is not just for the simple signing of the contract.

……

Wang Dalin asked Wang Fei and Ji Zhixin to ask for leave. The team had just won the game, and Wang Dalin and his teammates had no problem running in. He only missed a warm-up match when he returned to the United States.

Coach Wang Fei even thought it was a good idea. Wouldn't it be better to inspect the team without Wang Dalin?

With the help of Ji Zhixin to book the air ticket, Wang Dalin saved a lot of trouble, and got on the plane to New York at 11 o'clock that night.

This time he was going to Schwartz's office on Wall Street, not going back to Miami. It happened that there was a direct flight from Shanghai to New York, so he didn't need to transfer.

After a 14-hour flight, Wang Dalin arrived in New York, took a taxi and went directly to Wall Street.

Schwartz's company was easy to find, and Wang Dalin found it after a little asking.The front desk of the company is a very "chested" blonde beauty. As soon as she saw Wang Dalin, she enthusiastically led him to Schwartz's office.

"Wang, you came so fast!" Schwartz smiled and got up and shook hands with him, pointing to the other two people in the office with a smile, "Let me introduce you to these two..."

Wang Dalin interrupted him with a smile: "No need to introduce, I know both of them!"

One black and one white, both of them are quite tall.

The black man's name is Joe Dumars, who was a member of the Pistons' "Bad Boys Corps" and is now the general manager of the Pistons.

The white man is actually not well-known, because he was just an assistant coach before that. He just took up the post with the Pistons after the end of last season and became the head coach of the current Pistons.

That's right, he is one of the famous NBA coaches of later generations - Rick Carlisle!
How could senior fans like Wang Dalin not recognize this famous NBA coach who looks exactly like Hollywood star Jim Carrey?Of course, it is even more impossible for him not to know Joe Dumars.

Wang Dalin shook hands with both of them, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you two to come for me. I'm really flattered!"

There was a gleam in Dumars' eyes, and he said with a half-smile, "Darling-Wang, you don't need to belittle yourself. Based on your performance last season, I have every reason to believe that you will become one of the few superstars in the league in the future!"

Carlisle also said: "Yes, I think so too! Wang, I know that other teams can offer you a maximum salary offer, and I heard that Seattle, Cleveland, Chicago, and Orlando are all ready to offer you a maximum salary offer... Of course you can have more choices, but I think you will definitely choose Detroit!"

Wang Dalin sat on the sofa and smiled slightly: "Why?"

……

(There will be an update later, Lao Wang spent a lot of money today, a big explosion!)
