Chapter 35
Chapter 35 To defend against James?
The Mavericks’ substitution rotation in the second quarter was five-on-five.
Substitution is: Jose Barria. Jason Terry. Gerald Green. Braddon Bass. Composed of Desai Gennadiop.
The Timberwolves left Al Jefferson and McMiller on the field, and Rashard McKay was on the bench. Craig Smith and Kevin Love.
Kevin Love, like Wang Dachun, is a rookie this year. He was traded to the Timberwolves after being selected by the Grizzlies with the fifth overall pick in the first round.
The second quarter of the game began. The Mavericks’ bench efficiency is obviously not as good as the starter, relying on Terry’s three-pointer to barely bite the score to maintain the lead.
At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides was 53:49. The Mavericks lead by only four points.
Wang Dachun looked at the score a bit cool. If the score between the two sides is big, he still has a chance to play, but now that the score is tighter, it is difficult for him to have a chance to play.
After the intermission. Both sides are the main players in the third quarter. It may be that the hand feels cold after the main force is off the court, and the two sides began to fight for iron. In the entire third quarter, the two sides actually played 14 to 15!
The score was 67:64, and the Mavericks led by 3 points.
Wang Dachun felt that he was even more useless, and the head coach didn’t even mean to send him on the court.
It wasn’t until the fourth quarter that the Mavericks felt slightly warmer. In the end, they defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves who came to challenge 95 to 85.

It can be said that the efficiency of the Mavericks team is not high today, the entire team only three in double figures. Wang Dachun watched the entire game on the bench without getting any chance to play.
After the game. The assistant coach told him to go to the basketball hall tomorrow morning to conduct intensive training for his weaknesses.
Wang Dachun was still happy to be taken seriously. There was no one when he came to the arena the next day. Coach Solano asked him to come over at eight o’clock in the morning, and it’s less than seven o’clock now.
After warming up for less than an hour, Coach Solano and the team’s main center, Dampier, came to the arena together.
“Wang, you came quite early!” Solano said hello when he saw Wang Dachun arrived so early.
“I didn’t come too early. I just got warmed up just now.” Wang Dachun put down his basketball and came to Solano. The coach’s side.
Calling you over today is mainly to enhance your offensive methods at the basket. “Sorano said.
“Offensive means?”
“It’s the offensive method. Although the time may be a little short and a little anxious, this is what the head coach Mr. Carl specifically ordered.” Sorano continued.
“Well, what should I do, sir?” Wang Dachun asked him.
“I invited Dampier over today to cooperate with you in training. Today is a special training for you all day. Tomorrow we will face the Cleveland Cavaliers. If it is normal, you can practice slowly, but today you must strengthen it. The reason, the head coach is very likely to send you on the court tomorrow to help defend LeBron James
Isn’t it? Wang Dachun felt that the news was a bit sudden. After all, he didn’t even have a chance to play for one minute yesterday, and he might go to help defend James tomorrow. I can’t even guard my position.
To know that he has been in the league for so long, how could he not know who James is? It is said that that guy is a personal tank.
Solano continued:
“The main purpose of today is to strengthen the second offensive ability, so that you can score by yourself when possible after you get the rebound. Do you understand?”
Wang Dachun was still a little confused at this time, but he nodded, and after thanking Dampier for helping him, he started training.
On November 3, the US Airline Center.
What is going to happen is the Dallas Mavericks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers game.
The game was broadcast live on tnt TV in the United States. The commentator was Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.
“Charles, do you have any opinion on today’s game?” Smith asked Charles for his views and opinions on the game.
“I personally think that the Cavaliers may have a better chance of winning today!” Barkley replied.
“Why do you say that? Are you supporting the Cavaliers?” Smith asked.
“No! I didn’t support which team, Sir Barkley told myself with these years of basketball experience.” Barkley’s more gentleman replied.
“Well, is that right? There is no championship ring
Sir Barkley? “Smith asked with a smile.
“The Mavericks’ main offensive point is on the inside, and the Cavaliers’ inside defense this year is very tough, so for the Mavericks, this game may be more difficult. And the Cavaliers James is very strong in punching the frame. This is The league knows it, but the Mavericks’ ability to protect the frame is very average. This is my empirical point of view.” Barkley said proudly.
“Oh, my Jazz, didn’t you watch the last game between the Rockets and the Mavericks? Their team has a talented rookie center.” Smith said.
“The talent is amazing, after all, it is only a rookie, and the role it plays is definitely limited.” Barkley replied insultingly.
“Well, should we make a bet! See if this rookie can get how many rebounds on the court, can he block James?” Smith said playfully.
When Barkley heard this, he seemed to remember something unhappy. Confidently said:
“I haven’t done this kind of bet for many years. It’s a very boring game. Well, the game has started. Let’s take a look at the lineup of both sides.”
