Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Preseason Begins

Wednesday, October 8th.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Dachun came to the stadium with his newly bought notebook and his duffel bag.

Because the preseason is going to start tonight, the Dallas Mavericks will play the Washington Wizards away at 08:30 in the evening, and they will gather at the team's gate at ten o'clock this morning and go to the airport to take a flight to Washington.

Wang Dachun's notebook was suggested to him by Green, he said that it would be very boring on the plane, and he always needed something to pass the time, and there was a notebook to play games and listen to music to relax.

Originally, Wang Dachun wanted to buy a second-hand general and use it directly, but he didn't have much demand for things like notebooks, just like Green said, just pass the time.

So he asked Zhang Yanan, and he knew that there must be a second-hand computer to deal with it at Zhang Yanan's school.

Zhang Yanan just returned from China last week, and according to her, he went home to persuade his family to stay in school and continue to complete the project she did not finish, and did not want to return to China to inherit the family's business for the time being.

Zhang Yanan knew Wang Dachun's idea of buying a second-hand book and reprimanded him.

"I said you're an NBA player. As for living so tightly with yourself? How much does a computer cost you, and you have to go shopping for a second-hand one, you don't want to take it out and be ashamed? You need to know that you are not only representing you personally, but also the country. ”

I have no temper who was instigated by Zhang Yanan, so buy a new one! Originally, I just wanted to buy a cheap and usable new notebook, but Zhang Yanan directly took him to buy an ultra-thin notebook just released by Dell this year, which cost him more than $3,000.

Wang Dachun was very distressed, what kind of ultra-thin does he want for this size! I'm afraid that when I hit the keyboard, I will poke the keyboard directly with more strength, but I can't refuse if I buy it.

When he came to the airport to register, Wang Dachun learned that the plane of his team was specially bought for the team by the owner Cuban.

Of the 30 teams in the NBA, there are only two or three teams that have their own planes, and the other teams are basically airplanes chartered with airlines.

This made Wang Dachun sigh, it's really good to be rich. The owners of their own teams are willing to buy planes for their players. I have to feel distressed for a long time to buy a notebook for my own participation, and the gap is too big.

After boarding, Wang Dachun walked around the plane, sighed at the luxury in the plane, and found a place to sit down after the plane took off, turned on the computer and began to practice his "one-finger Zen".

The plane arrived in Washington, D.C., after a three-hour break and adjustment at the hotel.

The players came to the Verizon Center Arena to acclimatize to the field.

The preseason is actually to hone in the relationship between the new team players and the old players and practice tactics, so the main players will not play too much, roughly between 10 and 20 minutes.

The rest of the game is largely made up of substitutes and fringe players, while pre-season is usually played throughout October, which should be around eight games.

Washington Wizards' star Gilbert Arenas. He injured his left knee during training on September 18 last month, so he was not in the squad for today.

At the beginning of the game at 8:30 p.m., the difference between the two teams in the lineup was actually quite large, and the Wizards were pressed and beaten from the beginning.

Kidd had six assists before the end of the first quarter, and the Wizards' power forward couldn't stop Nowitzki. At the end of the first quarter, the scores of both sides.

At 16-30, the Mavericks led by 14 points.

Wang Dachun has not yet been given the opportunity to play, and from the team's center position, he is the third backup center of the Mavericks, and there is a Hollins in front of Wang Dachun.

If it weren't for the large score difference between the two sides and the absolute advantage of the Mavericks, Wang Dachun's chances of playing would not be great.

Although the preseason is a practice time and everyone has the opportunity to play, Carlisle, who just joined the Mavericks this year, still hopes to get off to a good start.

Judging from the height of both sides, the Wizards' bench lineup has a slight advantage, but it still can't hold back Jason Terry who led the Mavericks' bench to a bombardment at the end of the first half.

The score was 40:65, and the Mavericks led by twenty-five points.

After a while in the second half, the main team played less than half a quarter, and the Wizards gave up the game when they saw that there was no hope of victory, and all of them were replaced on the bench, and the Mavericks did not let the main team continue to play and also replaced the bench.

However, Wang Dachun still did not play, and the Mavericks center on the court was Horns.

Wang Dachun is also extremely greedy off the field, but there is no way, judging from the current situation of the team. Coaches don't trust themselves much. It may be a little more difficult to get a chance to play on your own.

It wasn't until the Mavericks had an absolute advantage in the fourth quarter that only Wang Dachun did not play on the bench of the entire team, and Claire planned to send Wang Dachun on the court to familiarize himself with the game.

In the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, Wang Dachun finally came on the court. He was opposite Jamal McGee.

McGee is also a rookie this year, but the pick is much higher than Wang Dachun, McGee was selected by the Wizards with the 18th pick in the first round, Wang Dachun took a look at McGee's data value to see what is the difference between himself and him in data.

Jamal McGee basic information.

Overall stat value: 148.

The difference with himself is actually not too big, he is superior in strength and speed, and it shouldn't be a big problem to get him.

When Wang Dachun came on the court, the Wizards attacked, and Wang Dachun came to defend McGee in the defensive position, and after getting close, Wang Dachun found out that this guy looked like a monkey? It doesn't seem to be evolutionarily complete?

Now the score of the two sides is relatively large, and there are only a few minutes left before the end of the game, players on both sides began to wave, shooting when there is a vacancy, McGee and Wang Dachun are competing with each other for rebounds under the basket

McGee played pretty well today, although the team was behind the score by a large margin, but he did a good job of defending himself, and he also sent three blocks today, but the Maverick center who just came up looked about the same size as himself, but he couldn't squeeze him when he was stuck in the position.

And when he was stuck in a good position, he was almost grabbed by this guy for several rebounds, and this guy's speed was much faster than himself, and he couldn't catch up with him at all when he retreated.

Wang Dachun finally knew where this high pick was better than himself, although the center opposite him looked a little like a monkey, but the bouncing card position was really better than himself, if it wasn't for his strength and arm span, it would be difficult to grab the rebound from him.

In Wang Dachun and McGee were fighting for rebounds, the game ended. The final score was 82:108 for the Mavericks to win. In the first game of the pre-season, Wang Dachun only grabbed 3 rebounds in 6 minutes of play, and all other statistics were 0.
