Chapter 74

After the nets and Mavericks game.

Originally, Wang Dachun and Yi Jianlian had made an appointment to have dinner together. But I didn't expect Yi Jianlian to break his appointment.

When Wang Dachun returned to the dressing room, he received a text message from Yi Jianlian, saying that he had no way to keep the appointment. Let's get together next time we meet.

Wang Dachun is estimated to be the first thing today, so that Yi Jianlian's mood is not very good, Wang Dachun can also understand.

The message replied.

"It doesn't matter. They all play in the same league. There will be plenty of time to get together in the future. "

After returning to the apartment, Wang Dachun also looked at the game data of the nets in recent years. Yi Jianlian's data are neither good nor bad. It could be the Nets' temporary tactical system. It's not suitable for Yi Jianlian! He will be replaced from the starting line-up, and may return to the starting position in a period of time.

February 20th.

The day after the game with the nets. The Mavericks are flying to Houston. Play away with the Rockets.

The outcome of this game directly affects the Western ranking of the two teams. Currently, the Houston Rockets are 33-21. The Mavericks are 33-21. The two teams have the same record.

Rockets temporarily ranked sixth in the west, Mavericks ranked seventh, if the Mavericks win this game, the Rockets will be pushed to seventh in the west, Mavericks will be promoted to sixth in the West.

Yao Ming didn't play in the last Mavericks Rockets game because of injury. So the domestic attention is not high. This is the second match between Wang Dachun and Yao Ming. The game was also broadcast live in China.

That's why little Nelson. I hope coach Carlisle let Wang Dachun play two consecutive games as the starting point.

Coincidentally, the Rockets' opponent in the last game was also the nets. The nets played rockets on the 17th and Mavericks on the 18th.

In the game between the nets and the Rockets, Yi Jianlian still started. Although he only played for 15 minutes, he also got 5 points and 6 rebounds.

Yao Ming was happy to see that Wang Dachun started the game as the Mavericks. Wang Dachun can play continuously as a starting point, which shows that the Mavericks attach great importance to Wang Dachun.

T-Mac didn't play this game because of injury, and Sean Battier was the substitute.

Carlisle, the head coach, analyzed it before the game. The Rockets didn't have McGrady in this game. The attack could go down a notch. But with Battier in, the Rockets defense must have risen more than one level.

The same analysis of the Rockets this game's main offensive point, will be on Yao Ming. This requires Wang Dachun to defend Yao Ming.

The game begins.

Wang Dachun jumps to the ball.

Kidd passes the ball to Nowitzki. Let Nowitzki play the first ball.

Defending Nowitzki's Scola, today's defensive intensity is very big. Nowitzki missed two points.

The rebound was given to Nowitzki by Wang Dachun. Under Yao Ming's defense, Wang Dachun is not sure that he can take off the offensive rebound. Nowitzki got the ball and missed again. This time Yao got stuck in Wang Dachun's position. Artest rebounded. Basketball to Alston.

The Rockets attack.

Alston transferred basketball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming butted Wang Dachun with his back. Wang Dachun did not move. Yao Ming's heart, Wang Dachun, this guy strength. In the last game, he was still on top.

Yao Ming continued to fight Wang Dachun with his back looking for opportunities. After two consecutive fake moves and inside footwork, Wang Dachun didn't take off. In the end, we had to force it.

Wang Dachun reached out to defend. But Yao Ming's basketball has been shot, Wang Dachun's hand hit Yao Ming's hand, basketball did not enter.

But the referee called Wang Dachun a foul. Yao has two free throws. Wang Dachun didn't say anything. In Garnett, he had suffered this kind of loss.

Yao came to the free throw line and made two free throws. Just now with Wang Dachun's brief encounter, we can obviously feel Wang Dachun's growth in defense under the basket during this period of time. It seems that today's game is not easy to play.

As Yao expected, the first quarter of the game. Rockets inside the defense of Wang Dachun and Nowitzki. It's very difficult to score. Yao only hit two goals in five shots. Plus two free throws and six points and three rebounds. Scola took three shots without a point. Only one rebound.

Wang Dachun didn't get a point in the first quarter. He didn't make a pass even though he was interrupted by Yao Ming's defense. Only four rebounds and one assist.

After the end of the first quarter, Wang Dachun doubted whether Yao Ming had hidden skills. There are fighters like O'Neill. Because he plays Yao Ming and plays O'Neal the feeling is the same, the physical strength expends very fast.

In the first quarter, Wang Dachun's defense in the restricted area was relied on. The Mavericks are 28-19, nine points ahead of the Rockets.

The second competition. Dallas Mavericks coach Carlisle will continue to send Wang Dachun on. I want to take advantage of the situation to expand the score as much as possible.

However, Wang Dachun's physical strength in the second quarter is obviously not as abundant as that in the first quarter. It's a lot easier for Yao Ming to play Wang Dachun. Wang Dachun also made two fouls in a row.Meanwhile, Ron Brooks and Artest from the outside scored two three points in a row. In the second quarter, the score of both sides did not increase.

At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was 51-44. The Mavericks are seven points ahead.

After half-time.

The second half opened. Carlisle coach did not continue to let Wang Dachun play. Even after the intermission, Wang Dachun's physical strength still did not recover much. Now Wang Dachun is like a fish out of the water.

The third competition.

The Rockets started to work. It's not about scoring. It's about rebounds and defense. After Dampier and Buss went on the court, they didn't get a rebound in the last half of the game. Mavericks outside line was also defensive hit rate plummeted.

But the rocket team relies on the interior line continuous second attack. Played the Mavericks a 14-0 little climax. The score will be directly over.

Coach Carlisle still didn't send Wang Dachun on. He hoped that Wang Dachun could keep his strength in the fourth quarter.

The Mavericks scored 13 points in the third quarter. The Rockets got 30 points.

The score was 64-74, and the Mavericks were 10 points behind.

The fourth quarter of the competition.

Coach Carlisle finally sent Wang Dachun on. He is afraid of not letting Wang Dachun play again. This is a very good score. It will continue to be expanded.

Wang Dachun after half-time plus the third quarter time adjustment. The physical strength recovered a little.

Coach Carlisle thought it was the fourth quarter. Wang Dachun was able to narrow the score after playing.

However, I didn't expect that in addition to Wang Dachun's advantage in rebounding inside the game. Nowitzki can't fight for Scola's rebounds, and it's hard to get a shot. The outside line is still being defended.

Half of the fourth quarter. Not only did the scores of the two teams not shrink. And it expanded to 15.
