Chapter 50: Wang Dachun, who wants to become stronger

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Dampier replaced Wang Dachun with the main force.

Howard thought that after Wang Dachun was off the court, he could play more easily on the inside, but he didn't expect that Dampier who came off the bench was also a power center.

Mavericks head coach Carlisle let Wang Dachun's first quarter drain Howard's physical strength also obviously had an effect, and Howard's efficiency was significantly reduced after the second quarter came on the court, allowing the energetic Dampier to take advantage of the opportunity on the inside.

At the end of the second quarter, the Mavericks took a slight lead at 55-49.

After the intermission.

Carlisle let the main starters continue to play, trying to expand the score in the third quarter, but the score was bitten by the main force of the Magic team and nothing changed.

It wasn't until midway through the third quarter that a bench was sent to give the starters some time to rest. The position of substitute center did not allow Wang Dachun to play. Sent to it is Diop. Because in Carlisle's view, Diop's attack is better than Wang Dachun's.

But he still miscalculated the strength of the substitutes. The Mavericks still couldn't take the Magic bench after coming off the bench, and they were quickly beaten off the bench by the Magic. The score is not only tied but surpassed.

The third quarter lasted less than five minutes. Carlisle had to replace all his main forces and start chasing points. still didn't let Wang Dachun play, so that Danpier, who still barely had the physical strength, played.

The scores of the two teams have been close, and the gap between three and five points has been low, and Carlisle has not made any substitutions. The Mavericks didn't catch up until the end of the fourth quarter. In the end, they lost the game by 2 points, and the score was 100:102. The Mavericks also came up with their own five-game losing streak.

Howard was affected by Wang Dachun in the first quarter. He finished the game with 18 points and 13 rebounds and played 42 minutes.

The Mavericks' Nowitzki scored a game-high 24 points. Wang Dachun played 12 minutes and scored 4 points and 5 rebounds.

After the end of the road with the Magic. The Mavericks have two short days of rest and will be followed by a wave of away games.

After returning to Dallas, Wang Dachun couldn't rest quietly in the apartment, and the basket with Howard made him really realize how far he is from the league's top interior linemen.

Wang Dachun used to just want to survive in the NBA league, sign a long-term contract, guarantee his life, and do his job well on the spot, this is work for him.

The coach did what he did, and he never thought of turning the tide of the game through his own personal ability.

But he really didn't like the feeling of powerlessness when he was slack, and after being stabbed by Howard, the humiliation that was hard to breathe until now lingered in his chest.

Wang Dachun has never had such an urge to become stronger, he doesn't want to be detained again in the future, and he will not allow himself to be detained in the future.

Thinking of this, Wang Dachun couldn't stay in the apartment, so he rode his bicycle to the training hall.

Since your strength is not good, then practice strength, if you can't get stuck in the position, you can practice the card position, and if you want to rely on the system, you have to end this season, and now you can only make yourself stronger through training.

In the third quarter, Coach Carlisle was ready to the Mavericks' main team, but Josh Howard and Nowitzki combined for eight shots without scoring a point. If it weren't for Jason Terry's three three-pointers to maintain the score. The Mavericks were likely to be hung up by the Knicks in the third quarter.
