The league game schedule made Wang Dachun really want to complain, the Mavericks just finished the game against the Cavaliers last night, and they have to go back-to-back to challenge the San Antonio Spurs tonight.
If it's just a Mavericks home game, Wang Dachun doesn't feel that time is tight, the key is an away game, and he has to fly to San Antonio this morning.
Fortunately, San Antonio and Dallas are both in Texas, and the distance between the two cities is only four or five hundred kilometers. It took less than two hours to arrive before and after the plane, but Wang Dachun still felt a little painful.
When he woke up this morning, he felt a little sore, and after getting on the plane, he felt a little weaker.
After asking the system, the system gave him the answer that yesterday's game with the Cavaliers, although he only played 18 minutes, but he was in a tense state during the entire playing time, and he did not control his physical exertion, just like some people have not done aerobic exercise for a long time, and suddenly after a large amount of exercise, the body will have a soreness or discomfort reaction.

"Man, you've played two of the Mavericks' three games, and you've had amazing performances in both games, and I think you're going to be on fire soon."
"Brother, thank you for your blessings, I hope so!"
