Chapter 16: Brother Chun appears
Summer League live, as there were no Mavericks games on the first day. Their match is scheduled for the next day. That is, today, they are playing against the San Antonio Spurs.
The starting lineup that Spurs fielded today is:
Point guard, Blake. Ahearn, 188 cm tall.
Shooting guard, Desmond. Famar, 196 cm tall.
Small forward, Marcus Williams, 201 cm tall.
Power forward, Bopos. Monsa Bangsu, 206 cm tall.
Center. Anthony. Toliver, 203 cm tall.
Baria said next to Wang Dachun:
"Spurs are still the same this year!
Wang Dachun asked:
"How?"
"On the other side, the Spurs sent out this year are marginal and undrafted, and there is a rookie in the same class this year, and none of the real players came!
"Isn't that a good thing, isn't it easier for us to win them?"
"Although that's true, it's right to win against such a team, and it's embarrassing to lose it."
Wang Dachun thinks about it.
The lineup sent by the Dallas Mavericks today is much more luxurious than that of the Spurs.
Point guard, Jose. Barria, 183 cm tall.
Shooting guard, Dwayne. Mitchell, 196 cm tall.
Small forward, Steven Gerrard. Green, 201 cm tall.
Power forward, Brydon. Bass, 203 cm tall
Center, Ryan. Hollins, 213 cm tall.
This lineup can be said to be the main bench lineup of the Mavericks, which is quite luxurious.
After the players of both sides came out, the game officially began.
Wang Dachun sat in the rest area, ready to watch the game carefully, he felt that he could only watch the game seriously at the moment, and he was not very looking forward to playing.
At the beginning of the competition:
The Mavericks Barria controlled the ball and dribbled to the front court to play a gesture call tactic, Coach Solano had seen the table against the Spurs before, and felt that winning was not a big problem, so today the main thing is to familiarize the players with the tactics he just formulated.
Balia also strictly implemented the coach's arrangement, first letting the center Hollins be promoted to a high position. Shake off the opposing point guard's defense and go straight to the basket.
The opposing power forward was ready to assist in the defense, and Barria passed the ball diagonally to Bass, and the opposite center returned to defend at the same time. Green runs back to the bottom corner to open up space. Bass passed the ball to Hollins in the open space, who took advantage of the situation and smashed it in.
2:0
The Mavericks scored their first point,
Solano nodded happily when he saw that his players were executing their tactics perfectly. glanced back at Wang Dachun.
This guy's current understanding of tactics is relatively poor, if he is asked to do the pick-and-roll like the same tactic. He could easily block his players. It can be said that the effect is extremely poor.
Sono wanted to abandon Wang Dachun, but the team only had two centers, and it was impossible for Hollins to run the whole game, and the team's general manager called him and said that he hoped that Wang Dachun could adapt to the intensity of the NBA game in the summer league as soon as possible.
The general manager of the team has spoken, and it is even more impossible for him not to use Wang Dachun.
On the court, the Mavericks have been pressing the Spurs to play, and the score has been leading around ten points. Especially at the end of the first quarter, Gerard Green's flat frame dunk detonated the whole court.
Scores for both sides at the end of the first quarter:
19:30
The Mavericks lead by 11 points.
At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the two sides changed to the bench, Wang Dachun did not play, but let the 206-centimeter-tall power forward Williams take the center position first.
However, what is unexpected is that the opponent's substitute, under the leadership of George Hill, played a 9-0 climax.
George Hill is a rookie this year, just like Wang, and he's the only rookie on the Spurs' summer league team this year.
The Spurs have three draft picks this year, with George Hill being the 26th pick. At the same time, he also won Dragic, the 45th pick in the second round, but he was just traded to the Suns, and James Gist, who was 57th in the second round, but the Spurs didn't seem to be looking for him to come to the summer league.
Today's George. Hill was in a good mood at yesterday's game against this year's Tanhua show O.J. Mayo. Under his defense, the opponent made 5 of 17 shots.
He had 17 points and eight rebounds, and because of yesterday's performance, the coach asked him to lead the bench today and have unlimited firing rights.
Solano spotted the bench lineup. Some couldn't withstand the Spurs' scoring tide and immediately made adjustments to let Hollins play again to strengthen the interior defense.
At the same time, let Gerard Green defend George in the position of defender. Hill. George Hill is only 188 centimeters tall. But it's very fast, and at the same time has a good three-pointer.
The Mavericks were a little unguarded by their teammates who missed the ball and ran away from the three-pointer, while the Spurs' center took Hollins around the court. Hollins' physical strength is really a little unable to keep up, after all, he just played a full quarter and played less than half a quarter of the second quarter to rest and went on the court to keep chasing the opponent.
Solano also saw that Hollins' physical strength was a little unable to keep up, and now the opponent was very fierce in rushing the board, so it seemed that Wang Dachun could only be sent to play.
He gestured to Wang Dachun, meaning to prepare to play. Wang Dachun was still watching the game intently at this time, and he didn't notice that the coach let him play, if it wasn't for the teammates next to him to remind him, he wouldn't know that the coach let him play.
He hurriedly dragged off his training clothes. Waiting in the substitution area, about to play, he was a little excited, the coach just told him. He doesn't need to go up to do other work, just grasp the basket and rebound, and Wang Dachun will play when the ball is dead.
The score at this time.
46:43
The Mavericks trailed by three points with 1:40 left in the second quarter.
He was a little stiff after he got on the court, after all, it was his first regular game, and it felt completely different from training with the team, and he only remembered one thing in his mind now to win rebounds.
He came to the high post to block and dismantle according to the tactics, but the quality of the effect was very poor, the first tactic did not work, and when he saw that 24 seconds were approaching, Barria had no choice but to shoot three points on the outside, the ball did not score, and the Spurs center was stuck in a good position. Blocking Wang Dachun behind him and preparing to take off this rebound, he felt that his position was very good.
Judging from the landing point of the basketball, the ball must be his own, and when he stretched out his hands to take off the basketball, a pair of big hands suddenly appeared above his head and took the basketball away.
The Spurs center found out that it was Wang Dachun who grabbed the rebound, and then quickly passed the ball back to Barria.
Barria was stunned for a moment, seeing that the defender had not yet come to his senses, he threw again, but still did not score.
The Spurs center saw that the basketball landing point this time was just in the opposite direction to the Mavericks center, and this board must be his own.
When he jumped up and was about to touch the basketball as he stared at it, a big hand grabbed the basketball again.
What a Spurs center! Who? Isn't there no one around? This rebound should be his own, and it is Wang Dachun again. He threw the ball to Barria again.
Barya's depressed, although we have a good relationship, but you can't find me alone! Didn't you see that there were defenders in front of me? The people who stuffed it were so uncomfortable that they almost didn't catch the ball.
By the time Barria protected the ball, the opposing players were basically all in place. can only reorganize the attack, Wang Dachun came to the high position again to block and dismantle, but he still didn't block!
The Mavericks all know that at present, Wang Dachun is only grabbing rebounds, but he has no offensive means.
So even if Wang Dachun has gone to those positions that have a good position, he didn't pass the ball sense to him.
But no one knows about the Spurs, this newcomer is a big threat to the interior from grabbing rebounds just now, in addition to the center guarding Wang Dachun, the big forward is also ready to help defend at any time.
Barria saw this, broke through to the free throw area to fake a real pass, and the Spurs quickly contracted Wang Dachun to try to break the ball, which led to Buss vacancy, and Barria passed the ball directly to Bath to dunk and score.
