After Wang Dachun got off the field, he didn't get another chance to play until the end.

Before the players of both sides left the field, Yao Ming found Wang Dachun, and the two agreed on a place to meet for a while.

After returning to the locker room, head coach Carlisle asked Nowitzki and Wang Dachun to get ready, and asked the two to go to the press conference with him later.

Wang Dachun was a little surprised, generally the press conference is attended by the best player in the team in this game, he didn't score in today's game, and he left the game early because of a foul, how could he let himself go to participate with the team boss? .

The head coach's words made Josh Howard, who was also in the locker room, look a little ugly, although the team lost the game today, but he played very well today, almost won 30+10, the head coach did not let him go to the press conference, but let a rookie go, which made him a little angry.

In fact, Coach Carlisle didn't want to take Wang Dachun to the press conference, just now Nelson Jr. called him, hoping to give Wang Dachun more opportunities to show his face today.

If it weren't for Wang Dachun's very wonderful triple cover today, he really wouldn't have agreed to take Wang Dachun to the press conference, as for Josh Howard's thoughts, he directly ignored them.

After dressing, Wang Dachun came to the press conference with the head coach and Nowitzki, and after the three of them were seated, the reporters below began to ask questions.

After the reporter asked some questions from the head coach and Nowitzki about the loss of the game and whether they would make any adjustments in the future, they asked Wang Dachun's question:

"Mr. Carlyle, what is the reason for you. Let Mr. Wang Dachun attend the press conference? Could it be that Josh Howard didn't do well today? ”

Carlisle, as an old oilman, naturally did not fall into the trap put by the reporters, and replied very humorously:

"Oh my God, I thought you wanted me to bring him here, don't you want to know how he managed to do that amazing triple block in the game?"

The reporters were also amused by Carlisle's answer.

The reporter went on to ask:

"Then what's the reason why you are in Mr. Wang Dachun today, and you have committed four fouls in today's game, and you still let him stay on the court?"

Carlisle paused and said:

"Wang, he's a very hard worker, fouls are indeed his biggest problem at the moment, but I don't want to lose his confidence in defending on the basketball court because of fouls, and keeping him on the court is to let him know that the team and I trust him!"

The reporter asked Wang Dachun:

"How does it feel to defend and be from the same country player Yao Ming?"

Wang Dachun replied honestly:

"Yao Ming is very powerful, I can't prevent him at all, at most it can only play a little interference, there are still a lot of places to learn, I will definitely ask him for more advice when I have time!"

The reporter went on to ask:

"How do you rate your performance?"

"I didn't expect to be able to cover three times in one breath, I used to be a football goalkeeper, and I always wanted to subconsciously shoot him when I saw the ball in front of me, maybe it was a physical reflex, right?"

The reporter continued to ask:

"How would you rate your performance?"

"It's still bad, fouls are my biggest drawback. I will learn from the competition and try to improve! ”

At the Rockets' press conference, head coach Rick . Adelman, Yao Ming and Artest attended.

After speaking highly of Yao Ming and Artest.

The reporter then asked:

"How do you evaluate the Mavericks Wang Dachun?"

Adelman replied:

"Needless to say, Wang Dachun's talent can be seen with the naked eye, his performance on the scene really shocked me, I can only sigh that the Mavericks are so lucky, they can choose such a good rookie with the end of the sign!"

The reporter asked Yao Ming what he thought of Wang Dachun.

Yao Ming replied:

"To be honest I was also shocked by his performance, we haven't been in contact before, the first time I played against him, under his defense, it was actually very difficult for me to attack, if it wasn't for his lack of experience, I think it would have been difficult for me to get 30 points today, I believe give him enough time. He's going to be a very good center in the league.

After the press conference between the two sides, Wang Dachun and the head coach asked for leave and went to his Yao restaurant with Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's Yao restaurant is also more famous in Houston, and the meals that are usually entertained are more Western, and today Yao Ming invited Wang Dachun to dinner. I explained to the chef in advance to make more domestic flavors.

The two chatted and ate, and Yao Ming sighed and said:

"If you participated in the draft last year or played in the professional league earlier in China, I would have known you earlier, and the results of the men's basketball team in this year's Capital Olympics may not be so unsatisfactory!"

Wang Dachun also jokingly said:

I only started playing basketball this year, what if I played professionally last year? That's also playing football at home.

Yao Ming asked some questions about Wang Dachun's life to see if Wang Dachun needed his help. After all, it is the Chinese and the whole alliance is now two or three of them Chinese, Yao Ming wants to do his best to help this little brother within his ability.

You must know that Yao Ming's worth is not comparable to Wang Dachun, let alone Yao Ming's influence.

Wang Dachun also asked Yao Ming about some of the center's training methods to see if Yao Ming had any secrets or know-how that he could pass on to himself.

Yao Ming did not tell Wang Dachun how he trained. Because from his point of view, he feels that Wang Dachun is the same center forward as him. But the future development and style of play may be different from him.

His advice to Wang Dachun is to do a good job of defense first and then learn to attack, and recommended that if it comes to the offseason, he can go to Olajuwon's training camp to train, I believe it will help him a lot.

Because he was going to fly back to Dallas early tomorrow morning, Wang Dachun didn't dare to stay outside for too long, and after the two had dinner and chatted for a while, Yao Ming drove Wang Dachun back to the hotel where he stayed.
