Chapter 48
Chapter 48 First time
Wang Dachun was a little restless at this moment. There is still half an hour before the start of the game, but the coach told him when the team first arrived at the Amway Arena and let him start the game today.
After hearing the news, Wang Dachun was very happy. He became the starting player, which shows that the coach recognizes him.
However, a series of words from the coach immediately made Wang Dachun unable to be happy:
“Wang, today I am going to let you start and replace Dampier to defend the Magic’s center Howard. Howard is currently one of the most powerful insiders in the league. Yesterday, I just set a record that no one has done in nearly 20 years! I know He is difficult to defend. Don’t put pressure on you after you’re on the court. Try to compete with him for rebounds to prevent him from scoring. Don’t worry about fouls. Just do everything you can.”
After speaking, he patted Wang Dachun on the back to show encouragement, and then turned around to arrange other players’ affairs, leaving Wang Dachun, who was still digesting the information in the coach’s words.
Coach Carlisle made Wang Dachun a starter but it was also helpless. The current situation of the team is definitely that no one can defend Howard.
Dampier’s stamina is definitely not able to keep up, Diop’s defense is definitely not good, and Wang Dachun’s stamina can only be used first to grind Howard’s stamina. The main reason why he is not worried about Wang Dachun’s fouls is that Howard’s free throw percentage itself is not high. , The free throw percentage from the start of the season to the present is 58.9%. This is still within my own tolerance.
Wang Dachun, who reacted after a long time, looked at the back of coach Carlisle and wanted to shout. “Coach, I may know too much!”
I thought that being able to be in the starting position meant that his status in the team had improved. I can see from the coach’s words that I’m a cannon fodder when I go up. I don’t know why the coach has to emphasize Howard’s greatness. Don’t you know that this is a blow to your confidence?
Fortunately, Wang Dachun’s mentality changed relatively quickly. Think about it as a cannon fodder in itself. The starting time is just as fodder. The team need not care about personal gains and losses.
But he is not calm now, just subconsciously want to look at Howard’s data skills.

After Wang Dachun read Howard’s data, he felt cold. This is the rhythm that is about to be destroyed. In addition to speed, there is no capital that can compete with Howard in terms of data, let alone skills.
Diop, who was also sitting on the bench, looked at Wang Dachun who was a little at a loss, feeling a little gloating in his heart.
Although he was still the first-round replacement for the team’s center position during this period, he was suppressed by Wang Dachun, who played a lot less time than himself, which made him feel a deep sense of threat.
In his opinion, Wang Dachun’s skills are much rougher than his own, and he barely has a physical advantage. The data is basically rubbed out by garbage time. If this guy’s data path goes up, his position as a starting substitute may not be guaranteed.
Just let him face Howard today, and he will definitely be able to make him a prototype, so that the coach can see that his essence is a scum.
At the start of the game, both sides entered the field first.
Today, the Mavericks’ starting lineup has been adjusted. Not only did Wang Dachun start, but the head coach Carlisle considered that without Terry leading the benches, these benches would simply not be able to move on the field.
It turns out that this season’s starting shooting guard position of White, this period of performance is really hard to tell. Four consecutive games. Three to five shots in each game without a life, the data is all zero, it is really useless. (White: …(。•ˇ‸ˇ•。)…)
At present, Josh Howard can only be mentioned from the small forward as the shooting guard position, and then Green can be mentioned as the starting small forward position. Terry continues to be the sixth man to lead the rotation players on the bench.
The Magic’s starting lineup.
Point guard. Jameel Nelson. 183 cm.
Shooting guard. Michael Pietrus. 198 cm.
Small forward. Hitutkoglu. 208 cm.
Power Forward. Rashard Lewis. 208 cm.
Center. Dwight Howard. 211 cm.
The centers of both sides came to the midfield to prepare to jump the ball. Howard smiled at Wang Dachun. Wang Dachun watched Howard smile to himself. There was only one thought in his mind: the teeth of this guy are so white!
The referee came between the two, and both sides were ready to take off.
Wang Dachun wiped his hands on his shorts, his palms were a little sweaty.
The moment the basketball threw the ball, both of them jumped up. Wang Dachun first touched the basketball and patted the basketball to his teammate. The referee’s whistle sounded. The Mavericks center jumped off the ball and took the ball before it reached the highest point.
Howard was a little surprised. The center on the opposite side of the ball had miscalculated his bullet speed. The speed of basketball is not as fast as his bounce. He seems to be a rookie. He obviously has little jumping ball experience. He hasn’t noticed this guy before, but he bounces really well.
The second jump was still when Wang Dachun caught the ball first. This time there was no foul, and the ball was caught in Kidd’s hands. After Wang Dachun landed, he immediately ran to his team’s front court.
The magicians never thought that Wang Dachun would rush into the inside at such a fast speed. Kidd, who had just received the ball, quickly threw the basketball to Wang Dachun in the half court. Wang Dachun jumped high and took the opportunity to deduct the ball.
Howard, who was chasing him, was also surprised at the speed of Wang Dachun, and thought to himself: It seems that the Mavericks, the center forward, is paying attention to him.
The Magic attacked.
Wang Dachun clung to Howard into the inside defense. Don’t dare to be careless.
The Magic was running on the outside pick and roll. Lewis received the basketball and took a three-pointer. The shot missed and the basketball bounced high in the basket.
Howard and Wang Dachun competed for positions at the basket. Wang Dachun wanted to jam Howard, but his upper body was squeezed out of the position by a strong force, and the rebound was picked up by Howard with one hand.
Wang Dachun also experienced the power of Howard for the first time. Although he had been in the league for so long, although he often couldn’t get stuck in his position, he had never been squeezed away by power.
After Howard got the basketball, he prepared to make up for the basket. Fortunately, Wang Dachun’s upper limbs were squeezed away by Howard, but his lower limbs did not move much. It is not completely out of position.
Seeing Howard was preparing for a layup, Wang Dachun reached out to block the shot, but his hand was on the back of Howard’s hand. The basketball was also hit. The referee’s whistle sounded. Wang Dachun’s beater fouled and Howard made two free throws.
Wang Dachun sighed and fouled in the first minute of the game. This Howard is really hard to guard against!
