Chapter 69: The Pre-Festival Competition

After the game, Wang Dachun was carried back to the locker room by his teammates from the entrance of the passage. He was really exhausted.

Compared to Nowitzki, who returned to the locker room with him. Nowitzki still has the energy to talk and laugh with his teammates. Wang Dachun had to admire the physical strength of these foreigners.

It seems that he is going to go to Bob again and make a physical training plan that is more suitable for him. The training methods Bob gave himself last time had no effect.

Nowitzki scored the highest score of the game. Played 44 minutes and scored 44 points and 9 rebounds.

Wang Dachun played 28 minutes. He finished with 8 points, 16 rebounds, 7 blocks, 6 assists and 2 steals. The assists were all from Nowitzki.

This game also refreshed Wang Dachun's playing time, rebounds, and blocks.

After taking a shower in the locker room. Head coach Carlisle asked Wang Dachun and Nowitzki to go with him to a press conference.

Wang Dachun was not too surprised this time. It's not that he has a lot of confidence, and the coach will definitely take him to the press conference, but the team's performance today is that he and Nowitzki are still relatively efficient.

The Mavericks scored 20 points today, that is, Terry. However, it took more than 20 shots. None of the other players scored in double figures. Although Wang Dachun scored a double, he did not get into a double. But his defensive efficiency was the highest in the game.

To exaggerate, if it weren't for Wang Dachun's efficient defense on the inside today. The Mavericks may have collapsed early in the third quarter.

At the press conference. The main focus is naturally on Nowitzki, who scored 44 points in this game. And most of the media that came today were local to Dallas. Naturally, the questions are good to ask.

"Dirk. Congratulations on your performance on the pitch over the course of this period and what has contributed to your recent performances. Especially in this game, he scored 44 points. Reporter A asked.

"Thank you for your encouragement. I've been in good form lately, thanks to the effectiveness of Mr. Manager's tactics and the help my team-mates have helped me. The reason why we can get such good data today. First of all, thank you to the boy next to me. He took a lot of the defensive pressure off for me. And helped me create a lot of space to attack. It allows me to play to my strengths even more. Novitsky patted Wang Dachun on the shoulder as he answered the reporter's question.

"Mr. Coach, the performance of "Wang" has been getting better and better lately. Why don't you put it in the starting position. Is there a deliberate effort to limit his playing time? The reporter has asked.

The question asked by this journalist friend is actually a question. did not send the "king" to start the game, and the first thing to consider was his physical strength. The limit of his playing time is also due to the fact that he has not fully adapted to the pace of the NBA game now, in terms of physical control. It will also take some time to adjust. Coach Carlisle replied.

"Wang, congratulations on your wonderful performance on the field today. You dominated the interior on the floor defensively today, and with your current performance you deserve to be a starter, and you deserve more playing time. It will definitely help the team even more. "The reporter who asked this question is certainly not local.

You're more of your uncle! Frank is right, these reporters are very bad, and they will dig a hole for you when they come out. I rule a fart insider, and I'm tired like a dead dog after half a game. Still adding playing time? Can I say anything about the starting lineup? Although I want to go on! That's what the manager has to say.

Wang Dachun cursed in his heart, this ill-intentioned reporter. At the same time, be prepared to remember what he looks like. Pull this person into the blacklist later. But the question still has to be answered.

"You're a compliment. I don't have any dominance on the pitch. If it weren't for Dirk holding back the opposing defense. It's impossible to get such data today. I couldn't even solve my fitness problems, so I couldn't play in the starting position. ”

After the press conference. Wang Dachun went to wait for Ross and Noah outside the gymnasium. Before the game, I had already told the two of them that I would invite them to eat Chinese food in the evening.

The three of them came to the place where they had eaten last time. Noah was forcing all the way to eat all his dishes in two. Revenge Wang Dachun ruined his lore today.

The three of them were talking and laughing, eating and chatting. Rose also felt a little sorry for Wang Dachun's loss from the All-Star Rookie Game. He is actually looking forward to cooperating with Wang Dachun on the court at the All-Star Rookie Game.

Noah also rarely looked at Wang Dachun. The Spit League let Oden run to the first grade to take his position. After all, Auden is a sophomore no matter what he says.

The All-Star Rookie Game is for the rookies. Only the first and second years of entering the league have a chance. Like Wang Dachun, he obviously had a chance in the first year, but he was not selected. It's hard to say whether you can get in the second year.

The three of them finished eating before parting. Noah squeezed his eyebrows and promised Wang Dachun that Wang Dachun would compete in Chicago next time. He must take Wang Dachun to have a good taste of Chicago.

February 10th.

The Mavericks host the Kings.

In this game, Wang Dachun rarely played relatively easily. All the main players on the field today were very good. Wang Dachun came on as a substitute. One person singled out Jason Thompson and said there was no pressure.

The final score of both teams was 118:100.

All of the Mavericks' starters scored in double figures in this game. Kidd and Dampier also had a double-double, with Kidd finishing with 15 points and 12 assists, and Dampier finishing with 10 points, 16 rebounds and three blocks.

Wang Dachun came off the bench for 18 minutes. He had six points, ten rebounds, two blocks and one assist.

December 12th.

The Mavericks host the Boston Celtics.

In the last game against the Celtics, Wang Dachun was blown a few star whistles at the home of the Boston Celtics.

The home fans were very face-saving today. Celtic goal. Mavericks fans booed incessantly.

However, there are still some tragedies for Wang Dachun today. In the first half, head coach Carlisle used Wang Dachun a little too much.

Wang Dachun played more than halfway through the first quarter. After coming on the court, he went all out to defend Kevin Garnett and Kentrick Perkins.

The tactics are the same as in the last game against Celtic. Wang Dachun mainly defends Perkins and assists Garnett. Perkins still didn't shoot much, and he stopped shooting after hitting the iron twice under Wang Dachun's defense.

Wang Dachun's defense of Kevin Garnett will not be like the last game, and he was inexplicably fouled. The defense is very effective.

Garnett scored just six points in the entire first half.

The third quarter begins.

The pace of the game between the two teams increased. And the two teams have a tacit understanding and open the iron mode at the same time. Let Wang Dachun, who has consumed a lot of physical strength. Follow a group of blacksmiths on the field and start running back and forth. Until the end of the third section. Unable to run, he was replaced by head coach Carlisle. Replaced with the main center forward Dampier.

The fourth quarter of the game began. Head coach Carlisle wanted to replace Wang Dachun on the field again. However, seeing that Wang Dachun was still panting like a tired old cow, he dispelled this thought.

The reason why I want to replace Wang Dachun is that the Mavericks' main center Dampier is on the court. Whether it's on defensive rebounds or offensive rebounds. can't steal the Celtics' starting point guard, Rajon Rondo.

In the end, the Mavericks still lost the game, with a score of 99:92. The Mavericks lost by seven points.

Originally, the Mavericks had a chance to win this game in the fourth quarter. The main reason for losing is losing on rebounds.

This is also the last 20 games for the Mavericks. Suffered a loss on rebounding for the first time.

Fourth quarter of the game. The Celtics' Rondo alone grabbed seven rebounds under Dampier's hands.

And this became the key to the victory or defeat of this game.

Rondo played 44 minutes and finished with 19 points, 15 rebounds and 14 assists.

The Celtics grabbed 50 rebounds as a team.

The Mavericks' top scorer was Nowitzki. He had 37 points and eight rebounds.

Wang Dachun played 26 minutes. Scored 6 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks.

The Mavericks grabbed just 32 rebounds as a team.

Rondo, who is 183 cm tall, also stunned Wang Dachun by his data in this game.
