Chapter 41: I've Started Practicing
November 7th. Pepsi Center, Denver.
At this time, the game between the two sides has entered the fourth quarter, and the Nuggets are currently leading.
In the first half. The scores of the two sides were stalemate, comparable, but I didn't expect that in the third quarter, the Nuggets inside the inner line Hilario continued to play in the restricted area, and the old center Eric Dampier had no temper, and the effect was still not ideal after replacing Diop.
Head coach Carlisle weighed again and again, let Bass replace Diop, let Bass play Kenyon Martin, Bath finally bottomed out in this game, and Kenyon Martin and Kenyon Martin chiseled each other on the inside, and finally successfully scuttled Kenyon Martin.
Buss scored 10 points and 10 rebounds in the third quarter, barely allowing the two teams to widen the score even more, and the score was 72-79 at the end of the third quarter, and the Nuggets led by seven points into the fourth quarter.
Wang Dachun thought that he would have a chance to play in the fourth quarter, but he didn't expect the head coach to continue to play according to the row of Bass, so that the team's boss Nowitzki would be in the center position.
However, it is a pity that in the end, the Mavericks still did not win the game, and the Nuggets won 108-105. Winning the game, Wang Dachun did not have a chance to play in this game.
The game,
Nowitzki had 23 points and 10 rebounds.
Jason Kidd had 22 points and 10 rebounds.
Jason Terry had 20 points and six assists.
Bryden Bass had 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Howard 11 points.
Green 13 points.
Six players in the team had doubles, and three people had two doubles. But he still didn't win the game, and White missed 1 shot in the last nine minutes, and all the others were 0. (White: We are not the sameβ( ΜΠ Μ)β. οΌ
Wang Dachun didn't feel frustrated because he didn't play, and the Mavericks players played very well throughout the game today, but the Nuggets played better.
When he failed to play, the coach thought that his role was temporarily useless on the field, and he still needed to train well.
It can't be said that he is practicing air catch, more precisely, he is practicing dunk, preparing for practicing air catch, and he has not practiced air catch in the real sense yet.
Someone seems to be asking, didn't Wang Dachun destroy public property, how did he deal with it, don't make trouble, don't talk nonsense! Baskets are used every day, and it is normal for them to fall into disrepair.
Wang Dachun just took the basket that was about to break off from the basket. In case someone else is injured by mistake, how can the team deal with him.
Yes. Wang Dachun explained it this way, whether the team's logistics officer believed it or not, he believed it anyway. As long as you don't have to pay for it.
On November 9, the Dallas Mavericks played against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Mavericks have two wins and three losses in five games since the beginning of the season, and the Clippers are even worse, losing all six games in the opening game.
Because it was an away game, Wang Dachun was still training at the Mavericks training gym in Dallas at this time.
Make no mistake, the team has arrived in Los Angeles. But Wang Dachun is still in Dallas, and this time head coach Carlisle did not put Wang Dachun on the activation list, but let him continue to train in Dallas.
Head coach Carlisle also has his own plans, thinking that winning the Clippers is not a big problem, Wang Dachun's role on the court is limited after all, and he doesn't need his combat power now, so he can spend more time on practice, which is also the head coach's attention to Wang Dachun, how many teams will generally give a rookie a chance to really grow.
Many rookies like Wang Dachun, because their basketball skills are too rough, may be directly sent to the development league to exercise first, so Wang Dachun has no emotions, he still seriously wants to practice the ball well.
However, what people didn't expect was that the Los Angeles Clippers, who lost all six games, defeated the Dallas Mavericks, who won 2-3. The score of both teams was 92:103. The Clippers took an 11-point lead over the Mavericks.
However, when Wang Dachun knew the news, he didn't have time to sigh, because he didn't have time to think about it, he had just received the news from Assistant Coach Solana to him.
On Nov. 11, four days later, on the Mavericks' home court, they will face the challenge of the Los Angeles Lakers, and head coach Carlisle has made it clear to him. When the time comes, Wang Dachun will be put on the field and let him step up the training of his current skills.
Mavericks head coach Mr. Carlisle has been under a lot of pressure during this time, and he joined the Mavericks this year to bring some changes to the Mavericks. However, I didn't expect to start the game with two wins and four losses, and none of the teams I met except the Rockets were considered strong.
The start of the season after joining the Mavericks was not as good as the opening game led by former Mavericks head coach Johnson last season.
And as the schedule of the game began, the team's problems were gradually exposed. The main scorers are not very consistent in scoring, and sometimes their form is high and low.
In the last game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Josh Howard, who scored only five points, also injured his leg. Although it is a slight muscle strain, it will take a week off.
Nowitzki, the main player on the inside, is also not very consistent at the moment, and there is no one under the basket to share his scoring pressure. The veteran Dampier is also in very poor physical condition at present, and his foul trend has a tendency to move closer to Wang Dachun, all of these games are full of fouls, Diop's state is also very unstable, and the Spurs can get 10 rebounds in the game, and only 4 rebounds can be scored in these two games, the offense can only be regarded as barely okay, and the defensive efficiency is also average.
In short, if he is unstable, he may be unstable as a manager!
No. 11 is going to play against the Lakers. The Mavericks badly need to win this game to show how effective his coaching is, the Lakers are a tough guy with a season of 5 so far
Win all the games, but he also has to gnaw on this hard bone.
When I came to the training hall and saw Wang Dachun who was training with the assistant coach, and then looked at the other players, I felt that except for Wang Dachun, the other players did not have any sense of urgency in the future of the big game.
I was a little angry in my heart, and I looked at Wang Dachun. Walk to the center of the training hall and ask everyone to stop practicing and come to him.
Ask Wang Dachun:
"Wang, how are you practicing with the air connection during this time?"
Wang Dachun didn't expect the head coach to ask him about his training first. Honestly replied:
"I'm not very skilled, I can do it, but the effect is average."
"Then strengthen the practice in the next two days!"
Then point to Nowitzki, Dampier, Kidd, Diop. After looking around the players. Then he pointed to Barria and said:
"A few of you have been practicing air connection with Wang Dachun for the past two days!"
βοΌγγΠγοΌ
The head coach's words scared Wang Dachun!
The players also had a surprised expression, Wang Dachun didn't expect that he suddenly had such treatment, the team bosses accompanied him to practice, how did he feel a taste of killing.
A few people who were named to accompany Wang Dachun to practice just now. also looked at Wang Dachun with suspicious eyes.
Wang Dachun wanted to say very much: Guys, I don't know anything, I'm innocent, I'm also a victim, don't look at me like that? I'm so innocent!
