After this period of play, the Mavericks gradually exposed a lot of problems. The team's coaching staff needs to think carefully about the rotation of players.

The regular season trade period is over. The team just signed a few fringe players and put them in the Development League as backups.

The team itself has not had much room to improve this season. This necessitates the use and health of existing players. Make a favorable plan.

Diop has been sent to the Development League for training because of his poor performance some time ago. The Mavericks are ready to reactivate Ryan Hollins. Matt Carroll also has James Singleton. to enhance the rotation of the interior and forward lines. Hopefully, this adjustment will help the team to some extent.

After enhancing the rotation of players. The effect was immediate.

February 25th.

The Mavericks play the Bucks at home.

The final score of the two teams was 116-96. The Mavericks won by 20 points.

This score is not the most critical. You must know that the Bucks' current record this season is not much different from the Mavericks. 28-30, slightly worse than the Mavericks.

But today's Mavericks interior line is a complete explosion of the Bucks interior line. The finish here is not about scoring, it's about rebounding.

The Mavericks grabbed 57 rebounds and the Bucks grabbed just 25.

This change is due to Coach Carlisle's allocation of stamina to the main interior line.

In this game, Carlisle wanted to calculate how long Wang Dachun could last in peak condition despite his physical strength on the court. And with other rotational substitutes on the field, what is the efficiency value.

informed Wang Dachun before the game that he didn't have to save his physical strength on the field today. Wang Dachun was also obedient, and after he got on the court, he grabbed rebounds.

Wang Dachun's post-match stats are that he played 18 minutes as a substitute. He finished with nine points, 19 rebounds, four blocks, two assists and one steal. It also set a new rebound count for himself.

Re-enter Singleton and Hollins in the activation list. Although it was garbage time in this game, it was also very good for the protection of the inside.

The Mavericks also played in a nine-man rotation from the start of the season. It has become the current 12-man rotation on the field.

…

February 27th.

Today is the Mavericks' last game of the month. Host Ohrama Thunder.

Thunder's starting lineup today.

Point guard. Russell Westbrook. 191 cm.

Scoring guard. Saposovlosa. 201 cm.

Small forward. Kevin Durant. 206 cm.

Power forward. Jeff Green. 206 cm.

Center. Nenad Kostic. 213 cm.

The Mavericks' starting lineup for today is: Kidd, White, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, Dampier.

Wang Dachun came off the bench in the seventh minute of the first quarter. The current score on the field is 10-16. The Mavericks trailed by six points.

The main reason for falling behind is that Josh Howard simply can't guard Durant.

Durant holds the ball inside and continues to dangle Josh Howard. And Dampier, who is responsible for supplementing the defense on the inside, is too slow to defend Durant's offensive frame. The interior is constantly being scored by Durant's violent dunks.

Durant is currently scoring six points on 3-of-3 shooting.

Wang Dachun was also stunned when he watched from the audience. It's hard to imagine a person of this height. It's so sharp to break through with the ball. Think about your own possession of the ball, and you can still control it on the spot. If you run with the ball, you can't be sure where the basketball will go!

Durant felt like he had a very good hand today. And Josh Howard, who defended himself, was suffocated under his own hands. With his current state, winning 30+ today should not be a big problem.

…

Thunder offense.

Westbrook brings the ball to the frontcourt. Look at my brother's state so well today. took the initiative to pass the ball to Durant to play.

Durant motioned for the players to help him open up space and hold the ball to 45 degrees on the right side. He is ready to continue playing singles.

Josh Howard stepped forward to defend. He's been shaken off by this sophomore a few times in a row today. Defended very carefully.

Durant was also in no hurry to lower his body and dribble the ball, slowly moving forward, close to Josh Howard. Suddenly with an acceleration, one step passed Josh Howard and rushed to the inside.

Wang Dachun has been Thunder center Sticky at this time. Pulled to the bottom line on the left side. Seeing that Durant had successfully broken through Josh Howard and rushed to the basket. Wang Dachun hurried around Kostic's block. Also rush back to the inside to defend.

When Wang Dachun just stepped into the forbidden area with one foot. Durant is already jumping up and ready to dunk with both hands. Wang Dachun could only jump up and stretch out one hand to stop the ball.

Durant jumped from the position he was most comfortable with. The jump is also very high. And Wang Dachun's jumping position is a little remote, and he can only be regarded as rushing over. It's a bit lower than Durant in height.

Durant is using all his strength from top to bottom. Slam your arms into the basket with all your might. Wang Dachun pressed the basketball in Durant's hands with one hand from the bottom up.

After Wang Dachun's hand pressed on the basketball. Only then did I feel how strong Durant was rushing forward. Coupled with the power of inertia, Wang Dachun pressed on the basketball with one hand, and his strength was a little unbearable.

Durant continues to work his hands. He didn't think that the rookie in front of him could cover himself.

Wang Dachun felt that this was to cut off his own rhythm, which was unbearable. I also use all my strength. I want to push Durant's power back.

This caused Durant to pause in the air for a moment. It was at this moment that Durant's strength and stamina began to gradually run out.

Durant and Wang Dachun are now in strength, one is that the back force has been exhausted, and the other has just arrived.

Wang Dachun's mind at this time was only thinking that he couldn't be detained. It is the strength of the whole body, and there is no intention of reducing the strength, and Durant's strength is not as great as his. Pressed by Wang Dachun's power in the air, he began to lose his balance.

Wang Dachun shouted angrily in Chinese.

"I want to lock Lao Tzu! Grandmother! ”

Durant was pressed sideways from the air with the ball, and Durant fell to the ground with a heavy blow sideways.

After Durant fell to the ground, he felt like he couldn't breathe anymore. It shook and my head buzzed. Couldn't move at all.

After Wang Dachun landed, he looked at Durant who fell to the ground. The heart said, "Oh mom, it's not good, it's too strong!" ”

I want to go over and see how it goes. Lift Durant up.

Westbrook saw his good brother fall to the ground in pain. Wang Dachun still wanted to step forward. rushed over and pushed Wang Dachun away. Keep Durant behind you. and looked at Wang Dachun angrily, wanting to step forward and beat him. But he was stopped by his own teammates.

Wang Dachun was also protected by his teammates. In fact, he himself was a little apologetic. He really didn't want to hurt anyone. I just want to prevent this ball from being blocked.

Raise your hands yourself. Tell the Thunder that he didn't mean to. It was a mistake.

The referee also quickly separated the players of the two teams. Fear of causing conflict.

At this time, Durant, who was lying on the ground, slowly recovered his strength. After being examined by the team doctor, he was taken to the infirmary for examination.
