Chapter 91: Wang Dachun is in danger
was so entangled by Gu Deng, Wang Dachun was also angry,
"Since you're in front of me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Wang Dachun took a step to the right, directly stepped on the heel of his right foot, and stepped backwards, just stepping on Gooden's ankle.
This kick will not hurt people, it will only make people suddenly feel pain, just as Wang Dachun expected, Gu Deng, who was in pain, did not stand firm and took a step back.
As a footballer who has been training for many years. In terms of using his feet and his knowledge of legs and feet, how many people in the NBA can compare to him?
Just now, Gooden was in front of him, and his movements were relatively secretive, the referee and others did not notice his actions, and Gooden could only suffer by himself.
As soon as Gooden retreated, Tony Parker was completely exposed to Wang Dachun's eyes. Wang Dachun jumped up directly to block Tony Parker's attack.
Tony Parker also saw Wang Dachun coming over to cover himself. Now that he has risen into the air, it is impossible to stop, I wanted to make Wang Dachun a foul, but Wang Dachun's ability to stay in the air was unexpectedly good, and he couldn't touch him at all in the air, so he could only barely pull the rod in the air and prepare to throw the ball backhand up, trying to avoid Wang Dachun's big hand.
But Wang Dachun's hand was like a tracker, chasing the basketball in his hand.
Seeing that it is about to land. Tony Parker couldn't lift the ball up with his wrist, and he didn't want the ball to go in, but he just wanted to avoid it and not get blocked.
The rising basketball was still touched by Wang Dachun with the tips of his fingers. When Wang Dachun touched basketball. The force is not great, the basketball just changes the direction of the flight.
The basketball that changed direction just fell into the hands of Drew Gooden, who rushed over. As soon as Gooden saw this good thing, the ball fell into his hands as soon as he got to the basket, and he was ready to dunk directly under the basket.
Gooden had just raised the basketball above his head with both hands. After landing on the ground, Wang Dachun flew up, and his big hand directly grabbed the basketball in Gooden's hands with one hand.
Then he threw the basketball to Kidd, who received the basketball and made a fast-break layup.
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, Wang Dachun's ball was judged as a steal, the Mavericks' offense was effective for two points, and the Spurs had the ball.
The score was 22-29.
Wang Dachun played in the second quarter and scored two points, a block and a steal.
In the next few minutes of the game, Tony Parker tried to break through the restricted area twice for layups, but Wang Dachun interfered with it and did not score, so he did not enter the restricted area casually.
And Drew Gooden has always wanted to make a foul for Wang Dachun. After being covered by Wang Dachun with two more caps in the interior attack, he was replaced by Spurs head coach Popovich.
Popovich was scratched his head angrily by Gooden, he didn't know what this guy wanted to do, in the first half of the game, he only grabbed one rebound, and gave Wang Dachun two blocks and one steal.
And because Gooden always wants to attack on the inside, he can't pull Wang Dachun out of the penalty area, resulting in less and less offensive space on the inside, not only Tony Parker can't break into the inside to score, Duncan is also affected on offense.
He could only let Matt Bonner play again, originally he wanted Matt Bonner and Dampier to play together, and then consume Dampier's physical strength and fly a kite on the outside. Now I can only deal with Wang Dachun first.
Wang Dachun saw that it was Matt Bonner who was replaced on the court, and his brain began to hurt, what he was most annoying was Matt Bonner's inside center, who was soft on the inside, and it was originally very easy to deal with, but when this guy attacked, he just didn't enter the inside line, and he was always floating on the outside.
And this guy's three-point value is as high as 170. I didn't dare to let him vacate at all. Fortunately, except for this three-point value, his other values are quite low, and he has no badges and skills.
After Matt Bonner came on the court, Wang Dachun could only run to the outside to follow him. Popovich's trick also worked quickly, after Wang Dachun was pulled out by Matt Bonner. The Spurs' interior line is starting to become the territory of Tony Parker and Duncan again.
But new problems have arisen. After Wang Dachun was not on the inside, Roger Mason and Michael Finley on the outside, the shooting rate of the two plummeted.
Wang Dachun moves fast on the inside, and he moves just as fast on the outside, especially the speed of the defense.
Originally, Matt Bonner was on the outside, according to the Spurs' tactics, and he needed to help Roger Mason and Michael Finley cover shots.
If it's a heavy center like Eric Dampier, you don't have to worry about his speed when you pull it out, because it's already slow. The effect of the assistance defense is naturally very average. But Wang Dachun's speed is different.
Wang Dachun can quickly make up for the defense when Matt Bonner helps Michael Finley or Mason block the dismantle. The threat to the outside line is very great.
Before Wang Dachun was pulled out, Michael Finley's shot was 3 of 3 three-pointers. Mason's three-point shot was two of three.
After Wang Dachun was pulled out, the effect of the defense had already made the two of them fight several times in a row.
This made Popovich start to have a headache again, Wang Dachun can't be placed on the inside, and he can't be placed on the outside.
The Mavericks have an Eric Dampier on the inside, and the Spurs can handle it, if you add a defensive titan like Wang Dachun. The Spurs are likely to be a first-round tour in this year's playoffs.
Popovich thought for a long time, looked at Gooden on the bench, thought of the brainless performance of this guy on the field just now, and sighed.
Glancing at Bruce Bowen at the end of the bench, Popovich touched the mustache on his chin with his hand and thought about it for a moment.
He called Bruce Bowen to his side and whispered a few words in Bowen's ear. After that, he patted Bowen on the shoulder. Propose a substitution to the technical desk.
Eighth minute of the second quarter.
The Spurs replaced Roger Mason for Bruce Bowen.
When Bowen walked onto the playing field, there was no expression on his face, but his heart fluctuated greatly. Just now the head coach Popovich called him to his side and told him,
"After you get on the court in a moment, if you have a chance, send the Mavericks' No. 66 off the court."
The manager said such a thing, of course he understood what it meant, he had done this kind of work before.
He sent Ray Allen off in '05. In '06, he sent Francis off the court, and in '07, he sent Nash and Stoudemire off the court with the Suns. Earlier, Vince Carter should have been sent off the scene more than once.
This is still something I remember, and even more if I can't remember it.
It's the coach's arrangement, and he has to do it. It's all about the team's victory. He had never discounted this task before, and it was all done very well.
He is 38 years old and has been in the NBA for 15 seasons. And he has been with the Spurs for 8 years, and he originally wanted to retire directly from the Spurs after the end of this season.
He didn't expect to be about to retire, but he received such a task again.
