I Am An NBA Goalkeeper

January 13.

American Airlines Center.

The Mavericks are playing against the Kings today. At the same time, Wang Dachun will also make a comeback in this game.

The Mavericks' starting lineup is Kidd. Terry. Howard. Nowitzki. Dampier.

But the Kings' lineup has changed a lot today. Take the twin tower lineup. In the recent two games between the Kings and the Mavericks. The Kings obviously have an absolute advantage in the paint. This time, the advantage of the inside line is magnified again. Specially formulated a starting lineup for the Mavericks.

The Kings’ starting lineup today is.

Point guard. Ben Luo Youdri. 191 cm.

Shooting guard. Kevin Martin. 201 cm.

Small forward. John Salmons. 201 cm.

Power forward, Jason Thompson. 211 cm.

Center. Brad Miller. 211 cm.

The position of the Kings at the power forward is Jason Thompson. Thompson, like Wang Dachun, is a rookie this year. And the positions of the two are also the same as the center.

Thompson is the twelfth lottery pick in the first round of this year. And since the start of the new season, the performance on the field has been very stable. Currently averaging 11+8 data per game. Today, the Kings coach mentioned him from the bench to the starting line to cooperate with Brad Miller to protect the rebounds. With three outside shooters at the same time. Maximize the power of their twin towers.

The first quarter of the game. The Kings' twin tower lineup has achieved an absolute advantage. Kevin Martin and Benro Udrih kept shooting three-pointers from the outside, although the shooting rate was average. But the Mavericks' rebound protection is almost too weak, and the Kings' twin towers can almost do whatever they want inside the Mavericks.

Only in the first quarter of the game, the Kings double towers hit three secondary attacks. The Mavericks center Dampier only scored two rebounds and didn't score.

And Nowitzki can't even attack at the basket and can only shoot from mid-range and beyond the three-point line.

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides was 29:21. The Mavericks trailed by eight points.

In fact, halfway through the first quarter. Mavericks coach Carlisle has already wanted to replace Dampier and Wang Dachun on the court.

But considering that Wang Dachun is recovering from his injury. In the first game of the comeback, the playing time cannot be too long. Therefore, Wang Dachun did not make his debut in the first quarter.

The main players of both sides continued to play in the second quarter. Coach Carlisle did not 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 time of the game, although his data was good and his efficiency was high, he was really tired.

He is an offensive power forward. He deserves the highest number of points on the team, but he also has the highest number of rebounds on the team. This makes him a little depressed. It's not that he doesn't like rebounding statistics.

It's that in order to win, he can only constantly fight for the inside and grab rebounds. This has caused his physical strength to continue to decline, and at the same time he will be more and more strenuous on offense. He can't even guarantee that he may get good data in this game, but what his competitive state will look like in the next game. Nowitzki had no guarantee at all, and he felt that he was 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 court is also visible to the naked eye.

If it weren't for his injury some time ago. Nowitzki believes that he hasn't played so hard during this period of time. And he can focus all his energy on offense. So Wang Dachun's return. There is an inexplicable sense of security for him.

As Nowitzki thought, after Wang Dachun played in the second quarter. The two centers of the Kings could not limit Wang Dachun's ability to protect the frame.

In order to compete for rebounds, the two even double-teamed Wang Dachun. Even so, Wang Dachun can still grab a lot of rebounds in the hands of the two. This makes Nowitzki's offense easier.

Jason Thompson was the 12th overall pick in the same class as Wang Dachun. Has been beaten by Wang Dachun to doubt his life.

He and his eldest brother Brad Miller. In the second quarter, when playing positional warfare. He has been risked by Wang Dachun three times in a row. Now he has not dared to enter the inside line. He really can't figure out how it is possible that with Wang Dachun's level, the draft pick will go to the end.

And Brad Miller, who is really against Wang Dachun. It was also very difficult, although his offense was not capped by Wang Dachun. But Wang Dachun's interference in his offense was too serious. And he has to admit that he can't grab Wang Dachun for rebounding.

Also because of Wang Dachun's playing. The outside shooters of the Kings did not dare to shoot easily. Because of Wang Dachun's existence, whether it is offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds. The Kings do not have any advantage inside. And there is also Nowitzki, who is not weak in rebounding. They were completely defeated in rebounding.

At the end of the second quarter of the match between the two teams. The score has become 52:47. The Mavericks lead by five points.

In the second quarter, Wang Dachun scored 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 offense can be fully developed. The two of them can definitely form a very shocking inside combination in the alliance. Now Wang Dachun is the time to grow up.

The Mavericks' most gratifying is head coach Carlisle. And the happiest one should be Nowitzki. He was really comfortable playing this season. Not only scored 14 points in a single quarter. And Wang Dachun used "point board" to make Nowitzki also picked up three rebounds.

This is the video of Wang Dachun's observation of the game during this period of recovery. Summarize their own characteristics. New skills learned.

Of course, Wang Dachun is not so good that he can train it all by himself. This skill is combined with the abilities of the physical coach Bob and the assistant coach Solano. After Wang Dachun mentioned that playing the board can enhance his inside advantage. Specially formulated training methods for him.

After returning to the team during this period of time, although Wang Dachun did not play in the game. But he added one more item to his training. This is also what Wang Dachun thinks he is capable of, taking it for free. Another skill he mastered after making up the deduction.

This is also the secret of why Wang Dachun still has an advantage in rebounding under the attack of the two centers of the Kings.

And his mastery at this stage has been achieved, if he is not sure to get the rebound after the point board. He will point the basketball directly to Nowitzki, or point to the rebound, rebound to Nowitzki through the rebound. Of course, if there are other Mavericks players inside, they have a better position, Wang Dachun will also rebound to them.

After the intermission. Head coach Carlisle did not continue to let Wang Dachun play. Carlisle thought that one game time was enough for Wang Dachun's first game after his recovery. He now doesn't want to take any risks to let Wang Dachun play. Even if he lost the game.

But his crow's mouth came true. After Wang Dachun's exit. The Mavericks' inside line was blown again. Even Nowitzki personally played efficiently. But it can't stop the Mavericks from defending the frame. The final score was 102:105 and lost the game.

Wang Dachun played twelve minutes in this game. Scored 4 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. After the game, the Mavericks game analyst statistics showed that Wang Dachun was the player with the highest positive-negative value in the entire Mavericks game. His integrity has reached an astonishing positive 28.

The reason why this number is so high is not only because of Wang Dachun's ability to defend the frame and rebound. It also includes that his scoring does not account for the team's number of shots, and they are all obtained through supplementary dunks. It also limits the opponent's scoring and rebounds very well.

To sum up Wang Dachun's performance in this game is that he has made great progress in his injury return and his performance on the court is very efficient.
