January 13th.

American Airlines Center.

The Mavericks host the Kings today. At the same time, Wang Dachun will also make a comeback in this game.

The starting lineup for the Mavericks is, Kidd. Terry. Howard. Nowitzki. Dampier.

But the Kings have changed their lineup today. Adopt a twin-tower lineup. In the last two games between the Kings and the Mavericks. The Kings clearly have an absolute advantage on the inside. This time, the advantage of the inside line will be magnified again. A starting lineup specifically for the Mavericks was developed.

The Kings' starting lineup for today is:

Point guard. Ben Fall Yudri. 191 cm.

Scoring guard. Kevin Martin. 201 cm.

Small forward. John Salmons. 201 cm.

Power forward, Jason Thompson. 211 cm.

Center. Brad Miller. 211 cm.

The Kings' position at power forward is Jason Thompson. Thompson: He, like Wang Dachun, is this year's rookie. And both of them are in the same position, both in the center position.

Thompson was the twelfth lottery pick in the first round of the year. And the performance on the field has been very consistent since the start of the new season. At present, he can get an average of 11+8 data per game. Today, the Kings head coach moved him from the bench to the starting lineup to help Brad Miller protect the rebound. Pair with three outside shooters at the same time. Get the most out of their twin towers.

The first quarter of the game. The Kings' twin-tower lineup had an absolute advantage, with Kevin Martin and Bun Falling Udri constantly shooting three-pointers from the outside, although the shooting percentage was average. But the Mavericks' protection for rebounds is almost as weak as it gets, and the Kings' twin towers can do pretty much whatever the Mavericks do inside.

In the first quarter alone, the Kings Twin Towers hit three secondary offenses. Mavericks center Dampier only grabbed two rebounds in the entire quarter and didn't score.

Nowitzki, on the other hand, can't even attack under the basket and can only shoot from mid-range and beyond the three-point line.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 29:21. The Mavericks trailed by eight points.

Actually, halfway through the first quarter. Mavericks head coach Carlisle has wanted to replace Dampier and bring Wang Dachun on the court.

But considering that Wang Dachun is recovering from his injuries. In the first game of the comeback, you can't play for too long. So he kept pressing and didn't let Wang Dachun appear in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the main forces of both sides continued to play, and this time Coach Carlisle did not suppress Wang Dachun's playing time, and let Wang Dachun play with the main force.

Nowitzki saw Wang Dachun play with him in the second quarter of the game. There is an inexplicable sense of security in my heart. During this period of competition, although his statistics are good and his efficiency is very high, he is really tired.

He plays as an offensive power forward. He deserved to be a team-high scorer, but he also had a team-high number of rebounds. This made him a little depressed. It's not that he doesn't like rebounding.

It's that in order to win, he can only keep fighting inside to grab rebounds. This has caused his physical strength to continue to decline, and at the same time he will be more and more difficult to attack, and he can not even guarantee that he may get good statistics in this game, but what his competitive form will be like in the next game. Nowitzki was no longer secure, and he felt like he was on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Now Wang Dachun is back. Although this little guy is a rookie this year, his talent is not only visible to the naked eye. The progress on the field is also visible to the naked eye.

If it weren't for the fact that he was injured some time ago. Nowitzki believes that he has not been playing as hard as he is now. And you can focus all your energy on attacking. So Wang Dachun's return. There was an inexplicable sense of security for him.

Just as Nowitzki thought, after Wang Dachun came on the court in the second quarter. The Kings' two centers simply can't limit Wang's ability to protect the rim.

In order to compete for rebounds, the two even wrapped Wang Dachun together. Even so, Wang Dachun can still grab a lot of rebounds in the hands of the two. This made Nowitzki's offense easier and easier.

And as the twelfth pick in the same class as Wang Dachun, Jason Thompson. has been beaten by Wang Dachun to doubt his life.

He and his big brother Brad Miller. In the second quarter, when it is necessary to cooperate with the battle of position. He has been attacked by Wang Dachun three times in a row. Now they don't dare to enter the inside line. He really couldn't figure out how with Wang Dachun's level, how could the draft pick run to the end.

And Brad Miller, who is really opposite Wang Dachun. It was also very difficult, although his attack was not caught by Wang Dachun. But Wang Dachun's interference with his attack was too serious. And he has to admit that he can't grab Wang Dachun for rebounds.

Also because of Wang Dachun's play. The Kings' outside shooters didn't dare to take it lightly. Because of Wang Dachun's existence, whether it is offensive rebounding or defensive rebounding. The Kings don't have any advantage on the inside. And there's also a Nowitzki, who is not weak in the fight for rebounds, on the side. They were defeated in rebounding.

At the end of the second quarter between the two teams. The score has become 52:47. The Mavericks lead by five points.

In the second quarter, Wang Dachun got 4 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.

Head coach Solano saw the power of the synergy between Wang Dachun and Nowitzki. It's really gratifying. If Wang Dachun's offense can be fully developed. The two of them can definitely make a very intimidating interior combination in the league. Now Wang Dachun is the time that needs to grow.

The Mavericks' most gratifying thing is head coach Carlisle. And the happiest should be Nowitzki. He was so comfortable playing this quarter. Not only scored 14 points in a single quarter. And Wang Dachun used the "point board" to let Nowitzki pick up three rebounds.

This is Wang Dachun's recuperation during this period of time by observing the video of the game. Summarize your own characteristics. New skills learned.

Of course, Wang Dachun is not so powerful, and he has completely trained it by himself. This skill is combined with the ability of physical trainer Bob and assistant coach Solano to Wang Dachun. After Wang Dachun mentioned that the dot board can enhance his advantage on the inside. Training methods were specially developed for him.

After returning to the team during this time, Wang Dachun did not play in the game. But he added one more to his program. This is also what Wang Dachun himself thinks is in the air. Another skill he mastered after the deduction.

This is also the secret of why Wang Dachun still has an advantage in grabbing rebounds under the attack of the Kings' two centers.

And his mastery at this stage has been reached, if he is not sure to get the rebound after the point. He'll point the basketball straight to Nowitzki, or point to the rebound and bounce it back to Nowitzki. Of course, if there are other Mavericks players on the inside, they have a better position, and Wang Dachun will also point the rebound to them.

After the intermission. Head coach Carlisle did not continue to let Wang Dachun play, Carlisle believes that Wang Dachun's first game after recovery, one quarter of game time is enough. He didn't want to take any risks to get Wang Dachun on the field now. Even if you lose this game.

But his crow's beak was fulfilled. After Wang Dachun got off the field. The Mavericks' interior line has been blown up again. Even if Nowitzki is playing efficiently. But it can't stop the Mavericks' interior rim protection. The final score was 102:105 and the game was lost.

Wang Dachun played 12 minutes in this game. He finished with 4 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. After the game, according to the statistics of the Mavericks game analysts, Wang Dachun was the player with the highest plus/minus in the whole game of the Mavericks. His integrity reached an astonishing plus 28.

The reason why this number is so high is not only because of Wang Dachun's rim protection and rebounding ability. It also includes that his scoring does not account for the number of shots taken by the team, which is obtained through dunks. At the same time, it also limits the opponent's scoring and rebounding very well.

To sum up Wang Dachun's performance in this game, he has made great progress in returning from injury, and his performance on the field is very efficient.
