Chapter Seventy-Eight: Another Wound
"I'll rub it, it's really coming!"
Wang Dachun watched Westbrook rush to the penalty area with the ball again. I couldn't help complaining in my heart, this guy is really not afraid of being covered!
However, just as Westbrook was about to rush inside, the referee's whistle blew.
Wang Dachun's finger movement just now was regarded as a provocative action. The referee directly gave Wang Dachun a T and recorded a foul on the whole team. The Thunder made two free throws.
Wang Dachun could only shake his head helplessly. That action just now. Although it was just made by the brain. But he didn't regret it.
However, the cheers of the audience at the scene were wave after wave. This is something that Wang Dachun did not expect. It seems that he has ignited the passion of the audience.
After Westbrook's two-goal free throw. The first half of the game was also over. Going into halftime.
Wang Dachun returned to the bench area with his teammates.
Nowitsky touched Wang Dachun's head and said.
"You're right."
Wang Dachun also smiled helplessly like Nowitzki.
After returning to the bench area, Wang Dachun took the initiative to come to head coach Carlisle. Admit to the manager that he was acting impulsively. This resulted in a foul on the whole team.
Coach Carlisle also smiled, patted Wang Dachun's arm and said.
"It doesn't matter, there may be no collision on the basketball court, just pay attention to the method in the future."
When Wang Dachun and his teammates went back to the locker room and passed through the passage, many fans around the passage shouted at Wang Dachun.
"You've done a great job, King."
"You should teach the guy who provoked you a good lesson."
"Kill him in the second half."
………
Wang Dachun also looked at this group to see the excitement, which is not a big deal. But the lovely fans waved their hands.
At halftime, Durant's injury report also came out.
When Durant fell, his right arm landed first. The initial diagnosis may result in a slight bone crack in the forearm of the right hand. At the same time, there was a slight muscle contusion in the right shoulder.
There is certainly no chance of a re-entry in this game. It is estimated that you will need to take a break of at least two to three weeks.
Wang Dachun was also relieved to hear the news. Thankfully, these injuries only take some time to recover. No irreparable injuries were caused.
The second half began.
The current score on the court is 44-49, and the Mavericks lead by five points.
The third quarter begins.
There are no changes to the line-ups of both teams.
Westbrook still used his own first-half style of play. continued to impact the basket, but he didn't insist on dunking Wang Dachun again. It also began to string up the team's offense.
After being risked twice by Wang Dachun in the penalty area, Westbrook finally calmed down and did not desperately hit the inside. Instead, he started shooting three-pointers from the outside. If you want to buckle Wang Dachun, it seems that you need to find another opportunity, and you can't be in a hurry now!
The Thunder have become more and more efficient since his transformation, even though he has made one of three three-pointers. But the scores of the two teams were gradually overtaken by the Thunder.
On the Mavericks' side, Wang Dachun is defending on the inside, and while constantly creating space for Nowitzki, Nowitzki also feels good.
Defending him, Jeff Green was just scrambling for rebounds and had the edge in front of Nowitzki. Offensively, it wasn't affected by Jeff Green's defense.
However, the Mavericks' outside line is offensive, and there is not much room for the Thunder to shoot.
At the end of the third quarter. The Mavericks only relied on Wang Dachun and Nowitzki on the inside. Scored 16 points. The outside shots are all iron.
It also allowed the Thunder and Mavericks to pull the score apart.
The score is now 65:73. The Mavericks trailed by eight points.
Fourth quarter of the game.
Coach Carlisle took into account Wang Dachun's physical problems and did not let him play in the fourth quarter for the time being.
Westbrook saw that the Mavericks' interior Wang Dachun did not play, and began to attack the frame with all his might on the inside.
The game was back to the beginning of the first quarter. The awkward scene that the Mavericks encountered.
This time, though, Josh Howard became Balia. Durant became Westbrook.
The fourth quarter lasted only four minutes. Dampier was knocked down again, and he was fouled at the end of his game.
Now the difference in scores between the two teams is even greater. The Mavericks are already trailing by ten points. Head coach Carlisle didn't dare to send Hollins on the field, so he could only let Wang Dachun play again.
Now the score on the field is 69:79.
Thunder offense.
Westbrook passes Jeff Green's cover. Mid-range jumper. Two points of iron.
Wang Dachun stuck Kostic. Get ready to take off this rebound.
Just as he was about to reach out to pick it up, a black shadow pounced on him. The rebound was snatched away by Westbrook.
Wang Dachun is a little out of temper. This is not the first time. In the second quarter of the game. He's been robbed of two rebounds in a row by this guy.
Wang Dachun really admires Westbrook now. This guy is a fighter. He has already covered him with 4 caps on the inside. He is still persistently attacking. And a guard grabbed rebounds with his center, and he grabbed them fiercely.
Westbrook grabbed the rebound and jumped up again to shoot. Or striking iron. This time the rebound was taken by Wang Dachun.
Mavericks offense.
Wang Dachun gave Baria cover. Barria missed two points. Wang Dachun and Kostic, Jeff Green. Grab the rebounds at the same time. The basketball was given to Nowitzki by Wang Dachun. Dirk hit a two-point shot.
The score is 71:79.
Thunder offense.
Westbrook comes up front with the ball. Barria stepped forward to defend. Barria has barely some experience defending Westbrook. Anti-burst but not anti-throwing.
Hold back to prevent Westbrook from breaking through in front of him. Still, he underestimated Westbrook's ability to handle the ball. After two consecutive changes of direction. Barria was still shaken out of place. Westbrook sped past him.
After Westbrook breaks through Balia. Rushed directly to the penalty area and got up to prepare for a violent dunk.
At this time, Wang Dachun was stuck in the position by Jeff Green and Kostic on the inside. Can't move.
Watching Westbrook rush into the interior again, there is a tendency to block himself. scolded in his heart, "It's really fucking that the enemy will die, and my heart will not die!" ”
Wang Dachun couldn't let him succeed. Under the pinch of Jeff Green and Kostic. Reach out with all your might. Wang Dachun couldn't jump up. But the toes are up.
Wang Dachun's hand still pressed on the basketball. However, only four fingers were held down on the basketball. The position of the palm of the hand is still empty.
However, Wang Dachun didn't insist on using the power of his fingers to forcibly press the basketball down. Rather, by the power of Westbrook. The fingers pull the direction of the basketball to the side, so to speak, the basketball is pushed away, and the direction of the basketball is deviated and buckled on the neck of the basket.
Westbrook was stuck, and his lower body moved forward by inertia. I couldn't grasp the place where I could use the cushion with my hands, and my body lost balance and fell.
In the same position as Durant, he fell sideways on the same position on the floor.
