Chapter 197 The Last Solo Dance
The player of the month for the first month of the 2002-2003 season has finally been selected... In fact, the selection this time is not easy, especially the player of the month in the Western Conference.

Judging from the team record, the Kings have 15 wins and 3 losses, while the Mavericks have 13 wins and 3 losses. With 3 losses, the Kings won 2 more games and have a slight advantage.

Look at personal data again:

诺维斯基在这个月场均21.6分11.3篮板2.8助攻1.3抢断0.9盖帽，投篮命中率45.3%，三分命中率35.5%，罚球命中率84%，从数据上来说确实很不错。

Chris Webber averaged 21.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.1 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game this month. He shot 48.2% from the field and didn’t shoot 43.4-pointers. Overall, he was certainly no worse than Nowitzki, but his free throw percentage was only [-]%.
In the end, Chris Webber won the best player of the month in the Western Conference. This is the second time in his personal career that he won the best player of the month award.

There is no suspense here in the East. The Pistons' record can be called "the East is undefeated". Who else can compare with the 17-game winning streak?

哪怕麦迪这个月场均砍下31.9分6.3篮板4.6助攻1.2抢断1.3盖帽，投篮命中率48.5%，三分命中率38.4%，他也只能遗憾错过本次月最佳球员了。

Although Wang Dalin won this award mainly because of his team's record, his personal statistics are not bad, at least not bad.

场均上场31.2分钟，可以得到27.1分8.1篮板5.9助攻1.5抢断1.6盖帽，投篮命中率56.8%，三分命中率46.5%，罚球命中率79.6%。

Some people will say...why is Wang Dalin's personal data lower than last season?And even the three-point shooting percentage and free throw shooting percentage have dropped slightly. What's going on?

Too little playing time did affect Wang Dalin's data output, but his super high efficiency still made up for it all.

As for the three-point and free throw percentage... such a small drop is just a normal fluctuating feel.

On the latest MVP list released by ESPN, Wang Dalin topped the list. He has not a single bit of advantage over McGrady, Webber, Duncan, Garnett and others.

Moreover, in the results of the first round of this year's All-Star voting announced by the league, Wang Dalin also led the league with 972093 votes... It seems that this year's total All-Star vote king can't escape!

This time, neither the media nor the players or head coaches of the teams raised any objections. They were completely convinced by the performance of Wang Dalin and the Pistons.

No matter in any era, 17 consecutive victories is a very dazzling record. As the team leader who led the team to 17 consecutive victories, Wang Dalin is qualified to win any honor.

The game in November was over, and the Pistons managed to get a three-day break, but Wang Dalin couldn't be idle. He had to shoot the third commercial for his sneakers.

Because of Wang Dalin's extremely ruthless and bloodthirsty offensive performance in the season opener, fans generally believed that the nickname "Vulcan" obviously did not match him, so they spontaneously organized and gave him a brand new nickname-"Reaper"!
After Wang Dalin heard the news, he was surprised and more speechless... You guys gave me the nickname "Reaper". What should Durant be called when he enters the league a few years later?
The whole plot of the ad this time is a bit depressing:
During the game, the opponent made malicious fouls again and again, Wang Dalin's teammates fell down one after another, and various expressions such as fear, bewilderment, and anger appeared on his face, until a cold voice-over sounded - "Release your ability, anything is possible!"

So Wang Dalin put on the "Reaper Generation" basketball shoes, began to score all kinds of difficult goals on the court, and finally led the team to turn defeat into victory.

At the end of the commercial, Wang Dalin suddenly looked up to the stands, and saw a man wearing a black cloak and holding a sickle staring at him in the farthest stand. Their eyes met, and the man under the cloak finally revealed his face... It turned out to be Wang Dalin himself!

I have to say that the idea of ​​this advertisement is very good, but it is not so easy for Wang Dalin to shoot... because there are many close-up shots in the plot, which tests the actor's ability to control facial expressions.

Wang Dalin is famous for his "acting skills are close to zero". It is more difficult for him to show such rich facial expressions under the camera than it is for him to hit a three-pointer at the buzzer against a double team on the court.

Just such a commercial, which was edited for less than one minute, was originally planned to be shot in half a day, but it took two days to shoot... One can imagine how the director was tortured by him this time!
Fortunately, the filming was completed this time, and Wang Dalin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, he was very envious of some male protagonists in time-travel novels. He could easily shoot movies and commercials, and he could hug left and right to enjoy the blessings of everyone. He really wanted to say that those were all fake... How can there be so many people who are born to act?How can there be so many beauties around you all day?

On December 12, the Pistons took on the challenge of the Wizards at home.

So far this season, the Wizards' record has not improved. They currently only have 7 wins and 10 losses, and are currently ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference.

"Old Hooligan" has not played very well this season so far, suffering from a knee injury. His average playing time is only 28.9 minutes per game, and he averages only 16.9 points, 4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game, shooting 45.9% from the field, 38.5% from the three-point range, and 74.6% from the free throw.

If this kind of data is put on a certain rookie, this rookie will most likely win the best rookie award... But if it is put on Michael Jordan, no one will be surprised.

Jordan has failed to score in double figures in 4 games this season... You must know that the "old rascal" has played in the Bulls for 13 seasons, and he has only failed to score in double figures in a single game once in total!
As one of the most representative players of "the rookie is the pinnacle", what is the concept that Jordan's single-game scoring cannot reach double digits?
What else could it be?I'm getting old!
He will be 40 years old in about four months. Jordan's state can be described as a decline visible to the naked eye. He can no longer show his dominance on the court!

During the warm-up before the game, Jordan shot the ball silently by himself. He didn't communicate with his teammates, probably because he was in a bad mood?

Just last night in the Wizards' victory over the Bucks, Jordan scored 20 points, 9 rebounds and 25 assists on 7 of 4 shots. This is already his best game this season... When he was in the Bulls, such a performance was even a bit hip!
Wang Dalin came over, patted Jordan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Michael, I'm so glad to see you again!"

Jordan turned around, and couldn't hide the envy in his eyes: "Darling, you have won 17 consecutive victories this season, are you trying to get your 18th win against us again tonight?"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Of course!"

Jordan curled his lips and said, "Hmph! There has never been any team that can win easily against Michael Jordan, and neither will you!"

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "Seeing that you are still full of fighting spirit, I am relieved, otherwise...even if I beat a distraught Michael Jordan, it would be meaningless!"

There seemed to be a gleam in Jordan's eyes: "Darling, you better be careful tonight, you've already angered me!"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Don't you think I came here on purpose to provoke you?"

Jordan sneered and said, "People know the price of angering me. Are you ready?"

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "You will know it in the next game!"

After saying this, Wang Dalin turned around and returned to his own half, grabbed the basketball on the ground and scored a three-pointer... The basketball drew a wonderful arc and plunged into the basket.

……

Wang Dalin did intend to provoke Jordan on purpose, because he hoped that he would not be replaced early in tonight's game... In the past November, he played too little time in the fourth quarter!
Wang Dalin's goal this season is very clear, that is to win the regular season MVP.

To achieve this goal, the Pistons' record is not a problem, but his personal statistics are not enough... It's no wonder that his statistics are good when he always clocks out after get off work in three quarters!
Some people will say that in the 2015-2016 season, Curry often clocked out of get off work in three quarters?Didn't he still get the regular season MVP of that season?And it is the first unanimous MVP in history!

You must know that Curry's sneaker endorsement is "Under Armor". Although this brand's influence in the NBA is not as good as "Nike" or "Adidas", it is an American brand after all!
What about Wang Dalin?

"Li Ning"?
Chinese brand?

Just relying on his sneaker endorsement, it is doomed that it will be very difficult for him to win the truly valuable award of MVP... It can even be said to be close to impossible!
Therefore, if he wants to win the MVP of this season's regular season, Wang Dalin must hit a stat that surpasses everyone else, and it is a super stat that no one can raise objections to!

Wang Dalin has already planned. His first goal is to lead the scoring, followed by averaging double figures in rebounds per game, and guaranteeing an average of more than 6 assists per game.

Referring to the average of 32.1 points per game of McGrady, the scoring leader in this season, Wang Dalin hopes to achieve an average of 32.2 points + 10 rebounds + 6 assists per game... Such data is an overwhelming advantage against anyone, right?
But now Wang Dalin's biggest problem is that there was too little time last time... If the opponent is always beaten and surrendered after three quarters, how can he continue to stay on the court brazenly?

In November, Wang Dalin's scoring average was only 11 points per game, which was lower than his average scoring per game last season. If he wants to win the scoring title, he must find ways to keep himself on the court for a longer period of time... It takes time to collect statistics, okay?
Since the opponent can't help but fight, it's better to stimulate the opponent every game... That's what Wang Dalin thinks.

……

Game start.

The starting lineup of the Wizards is point guard Larry Hughes, shooting guard Jerry Stackhouse, small forward Michael Jordan, power forward Kristen Laettner and center Brandon Haywood.

The Pistons' starting five are point guard Jeff McGinnis, shooting guard Richard Hamilton, small forward Wang Dalin, power forward Clifford Robinson, and center Ben Wallace.

Big Ben lost at the jump ball.

The Wizards starting center Haywood is 213cm tall, with a wingspan of over 220cm, and he is young and strong with excellent jumping...Ben is still too short after all.

Larry Hughes dribbled the ball for half court and called Heywood to give him a pick-and-roll, and then tried to break through the screen.

Suddenly he saw Jordan leaning on Wang Dalin and asking for the ball, as long as he passed the ball.

It is estimated that Wang Dalin's words before the game really angered Jordan. He couldn't wait to teach this ignorant junior a lesson in the first attack.

"Michael, the elderly should take good care of themselves, don't force yourself anymore, okay?" Wang Dalin sent a timely trash talk behind his back, and Jordan was obviously even angrier.

Dribbling, turning around, leaning back...Jordan's movements were still so picturesque, but the ball was unsurprisingly hit by Wang Dalin's strong interference.

To be honest, it is not easy for Jordan to complete a shot in front of someone as tall as Wang Dalin. If someone else is, he will probably have to eat a hot Chongqing hot pot on the spot.

Looking back, Wang Dalin successfully hit a back-and-back jumper under Jordan's defense, and his action was almost exactly the same as Jordan's.

He did not use "Golden Rooster Independent", but "Aldridge's back and back"... In comparison, the action of "Aldridge's back and back" is closer to Jordan's backward jumper. The posture of "Golden Rooster Independence" is really weird.

After the middle shooting ability reached 86, Wang Dalin's hit rate was not low no matter which move he used within the three-point line... Jordan is not a big man with a height of 210cm or more, so there is really no need to use "Golden Rooster Independent", anyway, he can't cover it.

"How about it, Michael, I shot the ball well, right?" After the shot was scored, Wang Dalin didn't forget to make up for it, and Jordan's face turned black with anger... well, his face was quite dark in the first place!

"Give me the ball!"

Laettner was about to send the baseline ball to Hughes when he saw Jordan yell at him angrily.

"Michael, you don't need to be serious with this little guy!" The ball was passed, but Leitner still persuaded beside Michael.

As a member of the 1992 "Dream Team" and an old friend of Jordan's for many years, Laettner is probably the only person on this Wizards team who can talk to Jordan.

"Needless to say, you all pull away, I want to single-handedly beat this brat!"

Jordan couldn't listen to anyone's voice at all, he was already filled with anger, and all he wanted was to teach Wang Dalin a good lesson.

Wang Dalin retreated to the free throw line. He knew that Jordan's three-pointers were very hip, even though his three-point shooting percentage so far this season was 38.5%.

The 38.5% three-point shooting rate is indeed not low, but Jordan only averaged 0.7 three-point shots per game... With this output, even if he is allowed to shoot outside the three-point line for a night, there is nothing terrible.

Jordan threw the ball in his hand in a fit of anger... Didn't you bet that I didn't make a three-pointer?I just want to vote in it for you to see!

"when!"

The slap in the face came so quickly... The three-pointer of the "God of Basketball" is as fragile as the "Achilles' heel".

"Fast break!" McGinnis immediately launched a fast break after receiving the pass from Da Ben, and Hamilton and Wang Dalin made fast breaks from the left and right sides respectively.

The Wizards were unable to return in time, and Stackhouse's supplementary defense did not delay Hamilton's speed at all. After receiving the pass from McGinnis, he immediately threw the ball to the middle.

With a bang, Wang Dalin received a pass from Hamilton and made a one-handed windmill dunk, which instantly ignited the passion of more than 22000 home fans in the Palace of Auburn Hills.

The Wizards failed to score two consecutive offenses in the opening game. Head coach Doug Collins couldn't help frowning, stood up and shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Michael, pass more!"

Jordan just nodded slightly, but he didn't listen to this sentence... If he didn't have an extremely stubborn character, I'm afraid he wouldn't have achieved such brilliant achievements, right?

In the third attack of the Wizards, Jordan did not gamble on his touch outside the three-point line, but began to dribble in an attempt to break through Wang Dalin from the front.

Since 1996, Jordan began to use a lot of behind-the-back jumpers, and people tend to ignore his face-up offensive skills... You must know that before Jordan retired for the first time, his main scoring method was face-up offense!
Unlike Kobe's straightforward and fast breakthrough, "Old Jordan"'s breakthrough mainly relies on rhythm changes. This kind of fast and slow dribbling rhythm is often difficult to defend, and it will be wiped out if you don't pay attention.

In fact, Kobe began to use this breakthrough method extensively after 2007. First, his speed is no longer as fast as when he was young, and second, it is also because this method saves energy.

Wang Dalin had already dealt with it very carefully, but he was still distracted by Jordan's rhythm changes, and was passed by Jordan.

After entering the basket, Jordan made a fake move to shake Ben, and then lightly picked up the basket with his left hand and scored... Even if the "God of Basketball" is too old to jump, he can still score with almost monster skills!

"Brat, this ball is for you!" Of course, Jordan would snarl after scoring a goal... Compared to the level of trash talking, there is probably no one in the entire league who can compare with him except Larry Bird.

Just after the goal was scored, a "ding" sound suddenly sounded in Wang Dalin's mind... After many days, the system was finally unwilling to be lonely, and issued a temporary task again!
"The system detects that the host and the 'God of Basketball' Michael Jordan are engaged in a fierce personal duel, so we release the temporary mission 'The Last Solo Dance'!"

"The last solo dance: 1. The host must personally score more than Jordan in this game; 2. The host must lead the team to defeat Jordan's team;"

"Reward for completing the task: the host can make 10 consecutive attacks with 100% hits at any given time in any next match!"

"Punishment for not completing the task: the host will miss 10% of the 100 consecutive attacks at a random time specified by the system in the next game!"

"Considering that Jordan's current state is worrying, he will return to the peak state of the 1992-1993 season in this game. Please be careful with the host!"

Wang Dalin just smiled slightly after watching it... A few months ago, I even played Kobe with 81 points in a single game, so what is the fear of the peak Jordan?
In a word... just do it!
