January 13.
American Airlines Center.
The Mavericks face the kings at home today. At the same time, Wang Dachun will come back in this game.
The starting lineup of the Mavericks is Kidd. Terry. Howard. Nowitzki. Dampier.
But the kings' lineup changed a lot today. It's a two tower team. In the last two games between kings and Mavericks. The kings have a clear advantage in the interior. This time, the advantage of the inside line will be magnified again. Specifically developed for the Mavericks starting lineup.
The kings' starting lineup today is.
Point guard. Rodriguez. 191 centimeters.
Shooting guard. Kevin Martin. 201 cm.
Small forward. John salmons. 201 cm.
Power forward, Jason Thompson. 211 cm.
Center. Brad Miller. 211 cm.
The kings' position at power forward is Jason Thompson. Thompson, like Wang Dachun, is a rookie this year. And the positions of the two are the same, both of them are center positions.
Thompson is the 12th in the first round of this year's Lotto show. And since the start of the new season, the performance on the field is very stable. At present, we can get 11 + 8 data per field. Today, the kings coach moved him from the bench to the starting line-up in order to cooperate with Brad Miller to protect rebounds. With three outside shooters at the same time. Maximize the power of their twin towers.
The first competition. King's double tower lineup has obtained the absolute superiority, Kevin Martin and Ben luoyoudeli unceasingly project three points in the outer line, although the shooting percentage is average. But the Mavericks' protection of rebounds is almost weak to the extreme, and the kings' twin towers can almost do whatever they want inside the Mavericks.
In the first quarter of the game alone, he was attacked three times by the kings' twin towers. The Mavericks center Dampier won only two rebounds and did not score.
Nowitzki even can not attack in the basket, only in the distance and three-point line projection.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 29-21. The Mavericks are eight points behind.
In fact, in the middle of the first quarter. Dallas coach Carlisle has wanted to replace Dampier and Wang Dachun.
But considering that Wang Dachun is recovering from his injury. In the first game of comeback, the playing time should not be too long. So I didn't let Wang Dachun appear in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the main players of both sides continued to play. Coach Carlisle didn't suppress Wang Dachun's playing time this time and let Wang Dachun play with the main players.
Nowitzki saw Wang Dachun play with him in the second quarter. There is an inexplicable sense of security in my heart. During this period of competition, although his data is good and his efficiency is high, he is really tired.
He is an offensive power forward. It's right to get the highest score in the team, but his rebounds are also the highest in the team. This made him a little depressed. It's not that he doesn't like rebounds.
But in order to win, he can only keep fighting for rebounds from the inside. This has resulted in the continuous decline of his physical strength, and the attack will be more and more difficult. He can't even guarantee that he may get good data in this game, but what will his competitive state look like in the next game. Nowitzki has no guarantee at all. He feels that he is on the verge of collapse at any time.
Now Wang Dachun is back. Although this little guy is a rookie this year, his talent is not only visible to the naked eye. The progress on the field is visible to the naked eye.
If he hadn't been injured some time ago. Nowitzki believes that his game in this period is not as hard as it is now. And they can put all their energy on the offensive. So the return of Wang Dachun. There was a sense of security for him.
As Nowitzki thought, after Wang Dachun came on in the second quarter. The two centers of the kings can't limit Wang Dachun's ability to protect the frame at all.
In order to fight for rebounds, the two even included Wang Dachun. Even so, Wang Dachun can still get a lot of rebounds in their hands. This makes Nowitzki's attack easier.
And Jason Thompson, the 12th in line with Wang Dachun. He has been beaten by Wang Dachun.
He and his big brother Brad Miller. The second section is about cooperation in positional warfare. He has been attacked by Wang Dachun three times in a row. Now I'm afraid to enter the interior. He really can't figure out how to go to the end of the draft with Wang Dachun's level.
And Brad Miller, who is really opposite to Wang Dachun. He also played very hard, although his attack was not capped by Wang Dachun. But Wang Dachun interfered with his attack too seriously. And he has to admit that he can't get Wang Dachun to rebound.
Also because of Wang Dachun. Sacramento's outside shooters don't dare to shoot easily either. Because of the existence of Wang Dachun, whether it is offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds. The kings don't have any advantage on the inside. And there is a rebound is not weak Nowitzki beside. They are completely defeated in rebounding.
At the end of the second quarter. It's 52-47. The Mavericks are five points ahead.In the second quarter, Wang Dachun got 4 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.
Coach Solano saw the power of the cooperation between Wang Dachun and Nowitzki. It's really gratifying. If Wang Dachun's attack can be fully developed. They can definitely form a very intimidating combination in the league. Now Wang Dachun needs to grow up.
The most gratifying thing for the Mavericks is coach Carlisle. And the happiest one should be Nowitzki. He's really comfortable playing this quarter. Not only 14 points in a single quarter. And Wang Dachun with "point board" let Nowitzki also picked up three rebounds.
This is Wang Dachun's recovery time by watching the game video. Summarize their own characteristics. New skills learned.
Of course, Wang Dachun is not so powerful. He trained himself completely. This skill is combined with Wang Dachun's ability through fitness coach Bob and assistant coach Solano. After Wang Dachun mentioned that the point board can enhance his advantage in the interior. He was specially given training methods.
After returning to the team during this period of time, Wang Dachun did not play. But he added one more item to his training program. This is also Wang Dachun's own view that he can connect in the air. Another skill he acquired after the mending.
This is also why under the attack of two centers of the kings, Wang Dachun still has the advantage in rebounding.
And his current mastery has reached, if he is not sure to get the rebound after the point. He will point the basketball directly to Nowitzki, or point to the backboard, and rebound to Nowitzki through the backboard. Of course, if there are other Mavericks players in the interior, they have a better position, and Wang Dachun will rebound to them.
After half-time. Coach Carlisle did not continue to let Wang Dachun play, Carlisle thinks that the first game after Wang Dachun's recovery, a game time is enough. He doesn't want to take any risks to let Wang Dachun play now. Even if you lose the game.
But his crow mouth came true. After Wang Dachun left. The Mavericks' inside line was blown up again. Even if Nowitzki plays efficiently. But also can't stop the Mavericks inside the wire guard frame slightly. The final score lost the game 102-105.
Wang Dachun played for 12 minutes. Four points, seven rebounds, two assists and three blocks. After the game, according to the statistics of Mavericks game analysts, Wang Dachun is the player with the highest positive and negative value in the whole game. His integrity reached an astonishing 28.
The reason why this figure is so high is not only because of Wang Dachun's ability of protecting frames and rebounding. Also including his score is not accounted for the team's shot times, are obtained through the deduction. At the same time, it also limits the opponent's scoring and rebounding.
To sum up, Wang Dachun's performance in this game is that he has made great progress in the return of injury, and his performance efficiency is very high.
