Chapter 187: Old Friends Gossip
January 30th.
The Trail Blazers play the Mavericks at home.
This is also the first time the Mavericks have played at home with the Trail Blazers this season.
There are no changes to the Mavericks' lineup today.
But the Trail Blazers made a big lineup change today.
Head coach Nate Mike Milan eventually listened to general manager Kevin Pritchard and moved Batum and Almi to the starting line-up.
This game may also be the easiest game Wang Dachun has played in the NBA so far.
However, the outcome of this game has little to do with whether or not to change the lineup.
It doesn't even have much to do with Wang Dachun.
The biggest focus of this game is neither on Wang Dachun, nor on anyone on the Mavericks, but on Andre Miller.
Because Andre Miller felt so good today that it exploded.
The game begins.
Miller opened the game with a 3-of-3 shooting.
Wang Dachun and Roy saw that Miller felt so good, so let him continue to vote.
As a result, Andre Miller threw more and more easily, just how to vote and how to have!
To shoot Wang Dachun, he only needs to grab the rebound and throw it to Miller.
Throw Roy to take the initiative to cover Miller and block it.
Everyone who threw himself into the Mavericks suspected that it was Andre Miller who had a grudge against the Mavericks, not Wang Dachun.
In this game, the Mavericks played very normally.
But in the end, he was forced to death by Andre Miller
Miller made 22 of 30 shots and scored a game-high 52 points.
The final result of both teams was 89:97. The Trail Blazers won.
Roy and Wang Dachun neither scored a double 20.
……
After the match, Wang invited Nowitzki and Barria to his apartment.
But only the two of them were invited, although the former Mavericks, he had a good relationship with Kidd and Terry.
But for the last time the two stopped him from going to Gooden.
Wang Dachun still had a little resentment in his heart, so he was not invited.
Wang Dachun had already asked Rebecca to hire a private chef for him in advance, and dinner had already been arranged in the apartment.
…
"Wang, why don't you buy a villa in Portland? With your current economic strength, shouldn't it be a problem? ”
Baria asked as she toured Wang Dachun's apartment.
Wang Dachun is now watching the chef cook, and he wants to find out what kind of dinner these chefs can make with these ingredients he doesn't know.
Hearing Barria ask, he replied.
"I'm not thinking about buying a villa anymore, and if I get traded by the Trailblazers one day, I'll have to worry about it again.
When the day comes, I will decide whether to trade or not, and it will not be too late to buy it then. ”
"Wang, are you kidding? You're a Trail Blazers baby right now, and I don't think anyone would be as stupid as Nelson Jr. to trade a baby like you, right? Hehe. ”
When Nowitzki heard Wang Dachun mention the deal, he couldn't help but want to pull their general manager, Nelson Jr., out and taunt him.
During this time, the Mavericks' game was getting tougher and harder.
The record has also been hovering at the sixth or seventh place in the West.
It may not be able to fall, but it is getting harder and harder to get up.
Nowitzki often wonders if the team hadn't traded Wang Dachun, with Wang Dachun's current growth rate, would he not have played as hard as he is now? How much more can their chances of winning this year's title increase?
Once he thought about it again, Nowitzki's resentment towards Nelson Jr. grew.
But what's the use of his resentment?
Wang Dachun will definitely not be able to trade back to the Mavericks, and even if he can trade back, the Mavericks will no longer be able to pay the trading chips.
"Who can say this, but I also have to thank Mr. Nelson Jr., he traded me to the Trail Blazers, at least I had a good time with the Trail Blazers.
By the way, why didn't Gooden come to the game with the team this time? ”
Wang Dachun sighed a little and asked him what he was most concerned about.
"Where does he dare to come, in the Mavericks' home court, he wants to avoid you, where does he dare to come to your home court.
I heard that he applied for sick leave early to avoid today's game. Barria said with a non-disgraceful expression.
Regarding Gu Deng's malicious attempt to hurt Wang Dachun, Baria almost got into a fight with Gu Deng afterwards.
"As for making me so horrible? I didn't plan to clean him up outside the ring, at most I would cover him a few more times on the field. Wang Dachun said it very lightly.
"It's strange to believe you!" The two said in unison.
……
During the meal, Baria asked Wang Dachun.
"Wang, I'm curious, I want to ask you, why did your all-star vote grow so fast? Now it seems that he is about to surpass Boss No? ”
"Ah, I haven't paid much attention these days, is it growing fast?"
Wang Dachun really hasn't had time to pay attention to the all-star voting these days.
This thing has always been operated by Frank, and at most he asked Rebecca to help him take some life photos and post them on Facebook.
Coupled with the losing streak some time ago, he has no time to pay attention to the issue of voting.
"Well, it's growing fast, it's only been a little over a week since the official vote started, and your votes are already close to 400,000! In this year's All-Star Game, I don't think you can run! Baria said enviously.
"I don't know how it grew so fast, maybe because I'm a foreigner and have a strong motherland. Hehe. Wang Dachun said with a smile.
"Probably the last person I want to see you in the All-Star Game this year is Nelson Jr." Nowitzki said from the side.
"Not really, right? They all traded me out, why do you still have such a big opinion about me? Wang Dachun couldn't figure it out.
"Nelson Jr. hasn't had a good time during this time, and the loss of fans alone is enough for him to have a headache.
Eh, I listen to your tone? You don't even know where this All-Star Game is going on, do you? ”
Nowitzki was halfway through his words. suddenly asked Wang Dachun.
"Where is it going to be this year? Is it announced? I didn't pay much attention to it. Wang Dachun looked a little embarrassed.
"My God, I admire you so much, I don't even know this! It was announced back in 08.
This year's All-Star Game is being held in Dallas! And the scale of this All-Star event may also be unprecedented.
Nelson Jr. also wants to use this All-Star Game to redeem the fans that the Mavericks lost because of you.
Now you understand why Nelson Jr. doesn't want you to be an All-Star, right? Nowitzki finished explaining.
"I don't take this pot, why do you say it's because of the fans I lost!" Wang Dachun was not convinced.
"Who makes your performance better and better, and now the attendance rate of the American Airlines Center is only half of last season, don't blame who you blame!" Barria added.
Wang Dachun: ".......... ”
