Chapter 127: Blown Up!
Today is the opening day of the regular season in the NBA league, and there are only four games scheduled for the entire league, including no Mavericks games.
Nelson Jr. had just finished the work at hand, and he wasn't in a hurry to go home, he wanted to see how the teams were playing on the day of the game, and how they were doing.
He has a TV in his office, and when he adjusts the channel, it just happens to be tuned to the game between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets.
He came interested and wanted to see how many points Wang Dachun could score in his first game with the Trailblazers?
Didn't the little guy tell him he could attack? Hehe!
Judging by Oden's current performance in training with the team. Oden definitely overpowered Wang Dachun in attack. It's just a little worse defensively.
But it doesn't matter, as long as he can help Nowitzki take some of the pressure off the bat.
Everyone thought he was interested in Oden in this deal. Actually, they were all wrong. He values Sean Marion more.
And he's also planning a multi-party trade that, if completed, would make the Mavericks even stronger.
However, Nelson Jr.'s leisurely mood was after seeing Wang Dachun block Hayes in the game. The whole person is in a very bad mood.
Until the end of the first quarter of the game, when Wang Dachun's game data in the first quarter was displayed on TV.
His whole body felt like it was going to blow up. even slapped himself in the face to see if he was dreaming.
It shows that Wang Dachun played 12 minutes in the first quarter. He finished with 14 points, eight rebounds, two blocks and one assist.
Is this God playing a joke on him? When this guy was with the Mavericks, he didn't necessarily get this stat for the whole game.
"Am I being deceived?" Little Nelson asked himself this first question!
He wanted to turn off the TV, he didn't want to watch the next game, he was afraid that Wang Dachun's data would continue to grow, and his blood pressure would continue to rise.
He forced himself and told himself that it was just an accident, and that Wang Dachun had a height advantage, beating Hayes, who was only 1.98 meters.
There will definitely be no such data in the next game, and maybe not even in the second half of this game!
As Nelson Jr. expected, in the second quarter of the game, in order to prevent Wang Dachun from getting under the basket, the Rockets sent a backup center David Anderson, who is 2.11 meters tall.
But does it work? David Anderson couldn't hold Wang Dachun's back and chisel, not only did he not stop Wang Dachun's scoring, but also sent fouls in a row.
Rockets head coach Rick Adelman, seeing that this is not the way to go, the Rockets have no one who can limit Wang Dachun's scoring.
He didn't want Wang Dachun, a second-grader, to score too high in front of him.
So he sent Karlandri up, replaced Scola with him, and let the two of them flank Wang Dachun and prevent him from scoring.
Seeing this situation, Wang Dachun naturally stopped playing hard, he was just a little silly but not stupid, as long as the Rockets attacked him inside, he passed the ball to Aldridge in the empty position. Let Ade score.
He just needs to be good at attacking and attract the defence. It's okay to give it your all when defending, which also allows the Trail Blazers to play more flexibly.
Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan. Now I want to cover my mouth and snicker. Although now both teams on the court are not very efficient in scoring.
But in this case, Roy's outside line can't be opened. Wang Dachun alone can support the offense and defense of the interior line. It's a scene he's always dreamed of, how can it make him unhappy?
If someone asks Nate McMillan now, how is Wang Dachun and Odenby?
I guess he'll answer.
"Who is Oden?"
…
At the end of the first half, the score was 54-41, and the Trail Blazers led by 13 points.
Although Wang Dachun only scored 7 points in the second quarter. But at the same time, he took 6 rebounds, 1 block and 3 assists.
After halftime, head coach Nate McMillan did not let Wang Dachun play in the third quarter, considering his physical problems.
Wang Dachun was indeed tired, and played two quarters in a row, according to his physical strength. If you hold on the field for 5 minutes at most, you probably won't be able to run.
And Roy also opened his hand at this time and began to attack and score constantly. The score of the two teams has been maintained at more than 10 points.
4th quarter game. Wang Dachun had just been on for two minutes. After only hitting the inside line once, the Rockets surrendered voluntarily.
Because at this time, the score has been separated by 15 points.
And now Adelman can't think of a way to target Wang Dachun. I don't want to stretch the score too big.
So he collected the troops early, let the substitutes go on the field to chase the score, don't lose too ugly.
Nate McMillan also replaced all the main players with substitutes.
Today, the Trail Blazers barely clocked out in three quarters. The main players talked and laughed off the field, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
The two teams ended up winning the game with 97-86, and the Trail Blazers won.
Wang Dachun made his first regular season debut for the Trail Blazers, playing 26 minutes and scoring 26 points, 14 rebounds, 3 blocks and 4 assists.
Not only did he score a team-high score for the first time. He also scored the highest score of the game.
Roy scored 20 points and Aldridge scored 15.
…
Nelson Jr. didn't know how he watched the game, he felt like he was on the verge of angina.
A person thinks about it for a long time in the office, and finally picks up the phone. Called the Mavericks head coach Carlisle.
"Old fellow! Tomorrow's game, let Oden play 10 minutes more, give him more shots, and make his stats look better! ”
After Nelson Jr. said this, he seemed to lose all his strength.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Carlisle said with a sigh.
"Oden's current physical condition, playing 20 minutes is already on the risk line, if he plays another 10 minutes, his injury probability is too great! I don't agree with your decision! ”
Carlisle also just watched the Rockets and Trail Blazers game. He could roughly understand why Nelson Jr. was calling him?
Still, he said what he was worried about, hoping that Nelson Jr. wouldn't be impulsive and make any stupid decisions.
"Then let him play 26 minutes, and I want to see what Oden can do for the Mavericks in those 26 minutes." Nelson Jr. said in a very firm tone.
"Well, since you insist, then I'll let him play for 26 minutes!" Carlisle reluctantly agreed to him on the phone.
