059 In danger
Magic Johnson: "I like this young man Wang Dazhi very much. If he can rotate normally in this game, no matter how he played before, I think he will perform at critical moments.
But today Coach Harris doesn’t seem to trust him very much, and it’s really unfair for him to take orders at such a critical moment.”
Magic Johnson has watched every game of the Lakers this season, and he personally believes that Wang Dazhi's strength should appear in the regular rotation of today's game.
Maybe Delmar Harris is too cautious, and Magic Johnson was quite critical of coach Delmar Harris's choice.
Larry Bird: "I also think Wang should play earlier. If he can share some playing time in the paint, Shaquille O'Neal will not be fouled out at such a moment.
Playing at such a time period, it will be difficult for Wang to show his true strength."
In fact, Delmar Harris' strategy in this game was very successful before Shaq was sent off.
However, several referee whistles in the last quarter turned his originally successful strategy into a criticized conservative one.
This is the case in competitive sports. People always say that heroes should not be judged by success or failure, but in the end people will still judge heroes by success or failure.
Although even the commentators defended Wang Dazhi, Wang Dazhi couldn't think that way. He had to adjust his mentality as soon as possible.
A fluctuating mental state cannot guarantee stable performance.
Wang Dazhi walked to the three-second zone and stood next to Charles Barkley, waiting for Hakeem Olajuwon's free throw.
Charles Barkley: “Who is this big bamboo pole of yours?
The Lakers are really a declining giant, and a rookie like you shouldn't appear in a game of this level."
In order to save energy, big-mouthed Charles Barkley wanted to destroy Wang Dazhi's mentality when he came up.
Wang Dazhi, who had been building up his own mind, was ridiculed when he came up, and his mentality suddenly exploded.
Wang Dazhi: "If you can't win the championship with the Suns, you will go to the Rockets to hug you. How dare a coward like you look down on others?
If you don’t be MJ’s little brother, you will never be a champion in this life!”
The upset Wang Dazhi came up and used his ultimate move. It was like fighting the Landlords. Someone played a pair of 3, and Wang Dazhi directly destroyed the two kings!
Wang Dazhi dared to say this to Barkley, but if he faced Kevin Durant, he would never say this. If he said this to Du Lan, wouldn't it point him to a clear path?
Charles Barkley stared at Wang Dazhi with eyes as big as bull's eyes.
Charles Barkley: “What are you talking about?
Do you know how long I have played in the NBA? Do you know how many points I have scored and how many rebounds I have grabbed? You know..."
Wang Dazhi: "I know you want a Robin ring. Without Dameng as your Batman, you are nothing."
Wang Dazhi didn't even look at Charles Barkley. He knew that if he wanted to anger this man, there was no need for the third sentence.
Charles Barkley came over and was about to beat Wang Dazhi, but the three referees who had already noticed something was wrong ran over and separated the two men while blowing their whistles.
The referees have long been accustomed to Charles Barkley's sudden loss of control.
Larry Bird: "This Wang Dazhi really has the same demeanor as I did back then. Although I can't hear what he said to Barkley while sitting here, it's obvious that every word he said had an impact on Barkley's fragile heart.
Irreparable trauma.
This guy is interesting!"
Regarding the skill of trash talking, Larry Bird feels that Wang Dazhi is the most like him.
In fact, Wang Dazhi was not in the mood to confront Charles Barkley at all. What he said was purely a counterattack, and he also used the most murderous and heart-wrenching words to KO his opponent.
Magic Johnson: “Does Wang Dazhi want to fight Barkley as a warm-up?
This is really a new approach..."
Magic Johnson doesn't want the two to fight. Without Shaq's human shield to absorb damage, Wang Dazhi would be like a scumbag in a fight.
Moses Malone: "As a rookie, I think Wang Dazhi should still show due respect to the veterans.
A lot of people in this league have prejudices against high school players, and it took me a lot of effort to gradually change people's opinions.
I don’t want Wang Dazhi’s behavior to make the entire high school players criticized.”
There is nothing wrong with Moses Malone saying this.
Larry Bird: "A guy who went to college makes high school students jealous. I think Wang Dazhi has earned a lot of face for high school players, at least in terms of the use of English vocabulary."
Larry Bird is worthy of being a model for Wang Dazhi, and his words left Moses Malone speechless.
Since it was just a verbal conflict, the referees did not escalate the penalty and the game continued.
Dream Olajuwon made two free throws, narrowing the point difference to two points.
Nick Van Exel advanced with the ball, and the Rockets fans began to chant defense in unison.
Coming to the frontcourt, Elden Campbell was covering for Nick Van Exel. At this time, he could no longer follow the rules. Before the screen was formed, Derek Fisher was still thinking about how to get around the screen.
Nick Van Exel accelerated and rushed in, leaving only Charles Barkley near the basket!
Charles Barkley gave up Wang Dazhi to help defend. Nick Van Exel led the team with a ground pass. Wang Dazhi received the ball and directly attacked the basket!
However, Mr. Flying Pig, who was in the wind at his feet, stepped across and blocked Wang Dazhi. With a steady and sharp chip, the ball hit Wang Dazhi's feet and bounced out of the baseline.
Charles Barkley no longer caused trouble for Wang Dazhi, but instead celebrated with bared teeth and claws in front of the bottom line camera.
Wang Dazhi: "My fault!"
Wang Dazhi patted his chest to Nick van Exel and said, To be honest, when everyone suddenly came on stage at such a tense moment, it was difficult for Wang Dazhi's muscles to integrate into the rhythm of the game. He felt that he was always slower than others.
shoot.
Nick Van Exel: "It's okay brother, relax!"
Nick Van Exel has a core defender style, and he said that everything will be fine with him on the court.
Kobe also specially ran over and patted Wang Dazhi on the back. The exchange between their eyes was worth a thousand words.
The Los Angeles Lakers defend, and everyone will think about what tactics the Houston Rockets will adopt in the next round.
