Chapter 185: A New Question
When has James ever been humiliated like this?
He was naturally full of anger in his heart.
Determined to fight back.
But James didn't do it brutely, he decided to play tactics.
The Cavaliers themselves are a team built around him. Naturally, he scored with the help of his teammates.
Pass, pass, cut, punch.
James pushed his strengths to the limit. But his scoring efficiency wasn't great.
The Trail Blazers have Roy's return, and Wang Dachun's scoring burden has been lifted a lot.
He reduced his own right to make a move. Focus more on the defensive end.
Wang Dachun defended James.
However, as the game progressed, Wang Dachun was a little depressed.
"Is James the son of a big guy in the league? This star whistle is too obvious? Isn't a 6-step layup a step considered a step? ”
When Wang Dachun defended James in the first quarter, he was whistled for two fouls.
This may also be due to the fact that he is also a star himself, and he was blown twice.
If you change the normal players, it is very likely that they will all be full of fouls 5 times and leave the field 6 times.
In the second quarter of the game, after Wang Dachun was whistled for another foul, he also learned to be smart.
If you don't reach out to prevent it, you will interfere with it.
"Look at how you blow the referee!"
The two teams played until the second half of the third quarter.
Roy and Wang Dachun both scored double twenty.
James' score also came to 20 points.
However, the score of both teams was 54-72. The Trail Blazers lead by 18 points.
James didn't expect the difference between the two teams to be pulled so big.
He was basically defended by Wang Dachun and defended the whole game today, and the defense was very dead, and it was very difficult to score.
He originally thought that he had attracted Wang Dachun's defense, and O'Neal on the inside should play more easily. The score should be very high.
Unexpectedly, after O'Neal left the court in the second half of the second quarter, he was too tired to play.
It's not all O'Neal's fault, James did attract Wang Dachun's defense.
But that was only when the Cavaliers attacked, attracting Wang Dachun's defense.
Another reason why O'Neill's physical strength is depleted so quickly is that he has to defend against Wang Dachun's attack.
Wang Dachun will not fight for muscles with O'Neill on the inside line as before, and explode blood-sucking skills with each other.
With Wang Dachun, who has the ability to hold the ball, his offense is much more flexible.
If you stay in the penalty area and don't come out, Wang Dachun rushes up with the ball and is a dunk.
You come out of the penalty area to defend, Wang Dachun holds the ball and sways left and right to turn around is a violent dunk.
O'Neill's defense like this, the physical exhaustion is not fast, that's what is called a strange thing.
But James didn't understand O'Neal's situation too much.
His mind was still stuck in the last game against the Trail Blazers.
In that game, Wang Dachun and O'Neill were basically the same as above, and their physical exertion was basically the same.
What makes James more strange and attentive is that today's Wang Dachun can not only defend himself, but also have the energy to defend Oni on the inside.
After tiring O'Neal off the field, Wang Dachun still had the energy to continue to defend him on the court.
"Why does this guy's physical strength seem to have gotten stronger?"
That's what James is thinking right now.
Wang Dachun would have known now that James had observed so carefully. He would have been surprised.
Because his physical strength has indeed grown!
In the Player of the Week lottery in the second week of January, Wang Dachun won the "Stamina Enhancer." ”
"Stamina Enhancer: Increases the user's existing stamina by 20% after use (only effective for the first use)."
In other words, Wang Dachun used to maintain his full strength on the court for 30~35 minutes.
After using stamina booster, you can reach more than 40 minutes of full strength.
Don't underestimate the addition of only a few minutes? Attacking or defending at full strength and in a weak state have completely different effects.
The lottery of this prize also made up for a much-needed shortcoming of Wang Dachun.
…
After O'Neal came off the field, it was Big Z who came on the field.
Wang Dachun glanced at the current data of Big Z.
"It's a plummeting stat value, it's not so much that he's a center now, it's that he's a three-point shooter now!"
Wang Dachun is quite easy to fight in the face of Da Z, Da Z himself has a leg injury, and he can't adapt to Wang Dachun's playing style and speed at all.
Big Z only lasted half of the game and went off the court. Then he replaced Valancho with him.
James is also persistent enough. Always chasing points. In the final quarter, the game became more intense.
The intensity made Wang Dachun, who had just strengthened his physical strength, a little unbearable.
But fortunately, he and Roy held out until the last minute.
At the end of the game, the score of both teams was 85:91. The Trail Blazers won.
James scored a game-high 32 points.
Wang Dachun had 26 points and 17 rebounds, and teammate Roy had 31 points.
……
After playing the Cavaliers.
January 21st.
Away against the 76ers.
Wang Dachun continued to blow up the 76ers' interior line.
Plus Roy's super offensive ability.
The two played more than 40 minutes and combined for 52 points.
Win this game 99-90.
Wang Dachun had 23 points and 20 rebounds, and Roy had 29 points.
Iverson struggled after returning to the 76ers. Only 9 points were scored in this game.
January 23rd.
Away against Celtics.
The Trail Blazers lost.
From the beginning to the end, Wang Dachun scored 25 points and Roy scored 32 points.
But the opponent was invincible, and the Celtics Big Three broke out.
The score is 88:95.
January 25th.
Playing New Orleans Hornets at home.
The Trail Blazers lost again.
Wang Dachun has become the focus of the Hornets again.
Okafor and West flanked Wang Dachun.
Roy is alone on the outside.
The scores of the two teams are also very anxious.
Played until the last minute. Only then did the winner be decided.
The score is 95:99.
Wang Dachun had 19 points and 16 rebounds. Roy 22 points.
This is also the first time in the past 10 games that Wang Dachun's score has been below 20 points.
January 28th.
Playing the Rockets at home.
The Trail Blazers lost again.
The score is 91:81.
The reason for losing the game is that the Trail Blazers team except for Wang Dachun and Roy played more normally, and the rest of the team members basically scored "eggs".
Wang Dachun and Roy combined to score 60 points.
After the game, Roy, who has always had a better temper, angrily scolded in the locker room.
His behavior is not only a shame on the faces of the Trail Blazers players.
It also made the face of head coach Nate McMillan very ugly.
It was Wang Dachun who was next to him and said a lot of words to calm Roy down.
After returning to Portland, Roy and Wang Dachun went to the general manager's office together.
……
"You mean it's not just the starters that have to be changed, the rotation players have to be changed? But such a change, Coach Nate does not agree? ”
Kevin Pritchard looked at the two leading stars of his own team with some surprise.
"Yes, Mr. General Manager, that's what I meant. I want the team to change. Roy replied stiffly.
"No, Mr. General Manager, that's what I mean, I know the state of every player. Roy just listened to me! Wang Dachun hurriedly said.
