Chapter Ninety-Four: Who Is Worse Than Whom

Game 2 the Mavericks lost, and they lost badly.

There are two reasons for losing.

The first reason is that the night before the game, outside the hotel where the Mavericks were staying, there were Spurs fans who made a screeching noise from time to time, and the Mavericks players had no way to rest at all, so they couldn't stand it and called the police.

When the police came, the fans did not disperse, saying only that they were here to protest.

The Mavericks' players deliberately injured people, leaving the Spurs' Bruce Bowen at risk of a lifelong disability. They won't let the executioners rest in peace.

Through their efforts, the police managed to disperse the gathered Spurs fans.

After the police were gone, the fans came back and continued to make noise.

This left all the Mavericks players in a semi-trance on Day 2.

The second reason is the outburst of Tony Parker in the game, this guy is simply too hot today.

1st quarter of the game.

Dampier returned to regular season form, not picking up a single rebound in the first quarter. The Mavericks also grabbed just four rebounds in the entire first quarter. The Spurs grabbed 12 rebounds.

The score in the first quarter was 30:19.

Tony Parker scored 19 points on 9-of-11 shooting in the first quarter. And without three points, just breaking through to get so many points, it is equivalent to saying that he tied the Mavericks' score alone.

In the second quarter of the game, Wang Dachun came off the bench, and before going on the court, head coach Carlisle yelled at him and said,

"Go and get rid of all these damn guys."

Mr. Coach was also annoyed by Popovich's expression just now. Just now Popovich was looking at the Mavericks' side with a very contemptuous and contemptuous expression.

Wang Dachun complained in his heart.

"Damn, can I defend 5 positions?"

After Wang Dachun came on the field, he was pulled out by Matt Bonner to fly a kite, but this time he was much more flexible and mobile, but he was also tired enough.

Throughout the game, Wang Dachun had to defend both Tony Parker's breakthrough and the outside projection of Finley and Mason on the outside. I also have to help Nowitzki defend Duncan from time to time.

In the second quarter of the game, relying on Wang Dachun scurrying around the court, the Mavericks barely pulled the score away by the Spurs.

After Wang Dachun came on the court, Tony Parker also reduced the breakthrough of the interior line and organized the team's offense more.

Parker took just four shots in the quarter, making 0 of 2 three-pointers and 1 of 2 from the inside. But he had four assists.

The Mavericks played the whole quarter and grabbed 11 rebounds, 8 of which were grabbed by Wang Dachun. and sent two blocks, but no points were scored.

The Spurs grabbed 12 rebounds, and the Mavericks didn't lose any rebounds in the quarter.

The two teams played a 27-27 tie in this quarter.

The score was 46-57 at the end of the first half, and the Mavericks continued to trail by 11 points.

The second half began.

In the third quarter, the Mavericks returned to the court against all the starters. However, the inside line was funnel again, and the situation was basically the same as in the first quarter.

After half a quarter, the score has been stretched to 20 points.

Mavericks head coach Carlisle can only replace Wang Dachun on the court to see if there is a chance to recover the score.

However, the score was too big, even after Wang Dachun came on the court, he strengthened the frame protection and defensive intensity. But in the face of the weak offense of the Mavericks players, the score has not been able to be narrowed.

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides played 28-17.

The score was 85:63, and the Mavericks trailed by 21 points.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Mavericks struggled for half a quarter and then took the initiative to admit defeat, and the score difference was too big to chase back at all. I replaced all the main players.

Wang Dachun wanted to continue to stay on the field and brush up on data. However, head coach Carlisle thought that Wang Dachun did not need to play in garbage time, and there was a risk of injury, so he was substituted.

The final score of the two teams was 84-105, and the Mavericks lost to the Spurs by 21 points in Game 2 of the first round.

Tony Parker played only 33 minutes in this game, scoring 38 points, eight assists and four rebounds. Duncan had 13 points and 11 rebounds.

The Mavericks' top scorer was Nowitzki, who played 39 minutes and had 14 points and six rebounds.

Wang Dachun played 23 minutes, scored four points, 16 rebounds, three blocks and one assist.

Head Coach's Office.

Carlisle is hesitating, the third game in the center position, is it mainly used Wang Dachun? Or Dampier?

Since returning to Dallas, the coaching staff has been discussing this issue for almost two days and has not been decided.

From the current Spurs' tactics against the Mavericks. The Spurs want to weaken the Mavericks' interior infinitely, pull the center out for a walk, and leave enough room for Tony Parker and Duncan to shoot.

This kind of tactic is more suitable for Wang Dachun, after all, Wang Dachun's defense and movement speed, and the defensive interference effect on the inside and outside lines are the most ideal!

But if Wang Dachun is used, there is only Nowitzki as a scoring point on the inside. It's a waste of Dampier's offensive ability.

Once the outside player can't open his hand, the inside line must have a stable firepower output. Dampier can't be missing.

Carlisle scratched his head and sighed to himself.

"If the kid "Wang" has half as good offensive ability as his defensive ability, I don't have to worry."

April 23, American Airlines Center Gymnasium.

The game on the field has been carried out to the final countdown.

On the Mavericks' bench, head coach Carlisle was chatting with Solano and laughing from time to time.

Carlisle is in a very good mood right now, chatting with Solano and glancing at Popovich on the Spurs bench from time to time.

He very much hopes that Popovich at this time will look at his side.

Wang Dachun sat on the other side of the bench and looked at head coach Carlisle with resentful eyes.

He could see the manager's expression very clearly just now, and he understood why.

In Chinese parlance, it is, "Heavenly Cycle, Karma." ”

Match 3 was the same as Match 2.

Wang Dachun even wondered if this game was a script written by someone.

The score was 16-27 in the first quarter. The Mavericks lead by 11 points.

The second quarter was 14-14. The scores are level between the two teams, and the Mavericks continue to lead by 11 points.

In the third quarter of the game, the Mavericks were even more ruthless, directly beating the score to 75:42, and the score was stretched to 33 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Mavericks were all marginal players on the court, and the Spurs were bench players.

It can be seen from here that Carlisle didn't get things out of his way and deliberately lost some points in the fourth quarter to keep the Spurs from losing too ugly.

The final score between the two teams was 67-88, and the Mavericks just won by 21 points against the Spurs.

We can understand Carlisle's performance at this time, but what is going on with Wang Dachun's resentful eyes?

Wang Dachun started today. Carlisle sent him on the court to bolster his interior and perimeter defense. There is no need for Wang Dachun to save his physical strength.

Spurs need to be stifled in the first half. Then he was replaced by Dampier to maintain the score advantage.

Wang Dachun not only performed well after he came on the court. And defensively, it really put a lot of pressure on the Spurs.

Plus the Spurs felt terrible today. It was so bad that he scored only 67 points in the game.

Wang Dachun has been in the league for so long, and he has never seen such a low score. He has some sympathy for the Spurs, this score is really miserable!

The Spurs shot 21-of-78 and 2-of-17 from three-point range.

Such an iron-striking feast really made Wang Dachun very happy. He grabbed 21 rebounds in the first half alone. Broke his own record for the highest rebound.

In the second half, Dampier came on to replace Wang Dachun, but when the score was already leading to 30 points.

Carlisle replaced Dampier again, and Wang Dachun thought that he still had a chance to play, and then brush up the data.

As a result, head coach Carlisle sent Hollins on the field, which stifled Wang Dachun's idea of brushing up data.

The main players of both teams scored is:

Tony Parker had 12 points and three assists. It was still the Spurs' highest score, with Duncan finishing up with just four points and two rebounds. After the Spurs trailed by a wide margin, the two did not play again.

The Mavericks scored in double figures with five players today. Wang Dachun scored 6 points, 21 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 assists.
