Chapter 56
Chapter 56 Injured
On December 6, the match with the Suns ended the second day.
The Dallas Mavericks met the challenge from the Alexander Eagles at home.
The lineup of the Mavericks in this game is the same as the lineup on the field, because it is the home game, Dampier also came to the stadium to watch the game. But he is not on the active list. Judging from the injury report, Dampier should be able to come back in the next game.
The starting lineup for the Atlanta Hawks today is.
Point guard. Mike Bibby. 185 cm.
Shooting guard. Joe Johnson. 201 cm.
Small forward. Josh Smith. 206 cm.
Power Forward. Marvin Williams. 206 cm
Center. Zaza Pachulia. 211 cm.
The top players of the two teams in the first quarter showed their personal abilities.
The Hawks’ “Eagle King” Joe Johnson said it was easy to play Barea and scored 8 points in the first quarter.
The Mavericks “Silver Horn King” also said it was easy to play Marvin Williams. He scored 8 points and 4 rebounds in the first quarter.
The Eagles Zaza Pachulia said he was too difficult! Only got 1 rebound in the first quarter of the game. And was sent out 2 blocks.
Mavericks Wang Dachun also had to express his ease. It was a lot easier to compare the game against O’Neal. In the first quarter, he scored 5 rebounds and two blocks.
In the first quarter, the two teams were evenly divided. The score was 23:21. The Mavericks led by two points.
In the second quarter, the benches between the two sides tied with 20:20. At the end of the first half the score was 43 to 41. The Mavericks still lead by two points.
In the third quarter, the main players of both sides returned to play.
Zha Pachulia saw Wang Dachun who was talking and laughing with Nowitzki, and her heart felt a little unbalanced.
In the first quarter, because of his incompetence on the inside, he missed several key rebounds. Originally, the Hawks could completely overtake the Mavericks’ score. Because of their own mistakes, the score has been suppressed. Not only did the head coach scold him, but Josh Smith actually preached to him. All this is to blame the rookie center of the Mavericks.
He is going to come up with some means to let this Mavericks rookie know how good he is.
Less than two minutes after the start of the second half, Wang Dachun once again competed for an offensive rebound. When Wang Dachun just got a rebound in the air and landed, his foot was suddenly cushioned by a foot.
When fighting for this offensive rebound just now, Wang Dachun took off with all his strength. When he landed, he was very fast. When he landed on this foot, Wang Dachun felt a sharp pain. The ball in his hand fell to the ground, and it hurt him. Unsteady standing and then fell to the ground.
Barea, who was outside the three-point line, rushed over at this time, pushed Pachulia away forcefully, and was stopped by the referee next to him as he was ready to do something.
Barea saw clearly from the outside line just now, Wang Dachun had Pachulia stuck behind him when he was fighting for rebounds. This guy didn’t actually take off and compete for rebounds together. Instead, he deliberately moved his foot forward and placed his foot where Wang Dachun had fallen. This was obviously a deliberate foul and malicious injury.
Pachulia showed an innocent look, explaining that it was an accident, saying that he was just fighting for rebounds, and the opponent jumped down and just stepped on his own feet. He was innocent!
Nowitzki can also tell from the video played back on the big screen that Pachulia’s foot was deliberately stretched out, and he was also very angry. His little brother was bullied as the boss, how could he not stand out.
Expressed his anger to the referee, but the referee gave the penalty after watching the replay, Pachulia fouled a first-degree malicious foul, Barea fouled a man, the Mavericks made two free throws and the Eagles made one free throw.
Hearing that it was not a second-level malicious foul, which caused the Mavericks, including the head coach, to be very dissatisfied with the penalty.
Everyone saw Wang Dachun lying on the ground in pain just now. At this time, Wang Dachun had been helped back to the dressing room. His ankle was severely swollen. It can be roughly judged to be a contusion or injury to the cartilage and soft tissue. This game is definitely not going to be played.
In fact, Wang Dachun was injured when he accidentally stepped on someone’s foot when he thought he was falling. He was hurt when he was injured to the ground and he didn’t see Barea rushing over to push Pachulia, but he waited for him to return to the dressing. Seeing the replay of the action just now on the TV in the locker room, he realized that he had been injured deliberately.
He couldn’t figure out that when the two were fighting for rebounds just now, he didn’t make any excessive moves. On the contrary, Pachulia kept making small moves. Although he was a little annoyed by him, he didn’t expect that the other party would deliberately want to hurt him. Is it so easy to bully himself?
Not only was the atmosphere of the Mavericks players, but the fans booed and yelled constantly, expressing their dissatisfaction. His own player was injured by this guy. This hurt guy can still play on the court now. The referees are all Are you blind?
Just now when the Mavericks coach was arguing. Carlisle was given a foul warning. This is the Mavericks’ home court, and the referee actually made such a penalty.
Although they are very angry, the game has to continue. It may be that Wang Dachun’s injury also aroused the vitality of the Mavericks. In the third quarter, they directly played the Eagles 33:16.
Nowitzki even gave up his offense, grabbed backboards with Buss in the interior, and the range of actions began to increase.
Although in the fourth quarter, the Hawks’ Joe Johnson scored 13 points in a single quarter, but it did not change the Hawks’ final defeat.
Joe Johnson of the Hawks scored a game-high 32 points. Pachulia actually got 13 points and 12 rebounds after Wang Dachun retired from injury.
The Mavericks Nowitzki scored 24 points and 11 rebounds, and Barea did not shoot three-pointers outside. Dedicated to Pachulia rushing to the basket also scored 22 points.
The final score was 103 to 98. The Mavericks won.
Wang Dachun started 13 minutes and scored 4 points, 7 rebounds and two blocks.
After the game, coach Carlisle said he would appeal to the league and expressed serious dissatisfaction with the Eagles players, including the referees in this field. He believed that Pachulia should be severely punished for such behavior. Such malicious fouls are likely to ruin the players. In his career, the Hope League attaches great importance to this matter.
Wang Dachun’s injury was also diagnosed after the game. It was a skeletal and muscle injury. Although the injury is not serious, it will not leave any sequelae. However, it is initially estimated that it will take a month’s rest to be able to play again.
Such news is a blow to the Mavericks coach Carlisle. The team’s record has just turned around and is currently ranked seventh in the league with ten wins and eight losses.
And Nowitzki and Wang Dachun’s cooperation on the court has just gradually developed a tacit understanding. At this time, Wang Dachun’s injury will inevitably affect the team’s record.
The Mavericks currently only have Dampier and Diop at the center position. Fortunately, Dampier can return to the game in the next game, otherwise this inside problem will make Carlisle a headache.
