Chapter 127 Exploded!
Today is the opening day of the NBA regular season. There are only 4 games scheduled for the entire league, and there is no Mavericks game among them.
Nelson had just finished the work at hand. He was not in a hurry to go home. He wanted to see how the teams were doing on the opening day.
There is a TV in his office, and when he turned on the channel, the game between the Trail Blazers and Rockets happened to be tuned.
He became interested and wanted to see how many points Wang Dachun could score in his first game with the Trail Blazers?
Didn't this little guy tell him that he can attack? Haha!
Judging from Oden's current performance in training with the team, Oden is definitely better than Wang Dachun offensively. It's just that he is worse defensively.
But it doesn't matter, as long as he can help Nowitzki share some of the pressure on offense, it's enough.
Everyone thought he valued Oden in this trade. In fact, they were all wrong. He valued Shawn Marion more.
And he is also planning a multi-party deal. If this deal is completed, the Mavericks will become stronger.
However, Nelson's leisurely mood became very bad after seeing Wang Dachun dunk Hayes consecutively during the game.
It wasn't until the end of the first quarter of the game that Wang Dachun's game data in the first quarter was shown on TV.
He felt like he was going to explode. He even slapped himself in the face to see if he was dreaming.
The above shows that Wang Dachun played 12 minutes in the first quarter. He scored 14 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 1 assist.
Is God kidding him? When this guy was with the Mavericks, he might not get this data in the entire game.
"Have I been cheated?" Nelson asked himself first!
He wanted to turn off the TV and not watch the next game. He was afraid that Wang Dachun's statistics would continue to increase, and his blood pressure would also continue to increase.
He forced himself and told himself that it was just an accident. Wang Dachun had a height advantage and beat Hayes, who was only 1.98 meters tall.
There will definitely not be such data in the next game, and there may not even be such data in the second half of this game!
As Nelson expected, in the second quarter, the Rockets sent in 2.11-meter-tall substitute center David Anderson in order to prevent Wang Dachun from getting under the basket.
But is this useful? David Anderson couldn't hold back Wang Dachun's back attack. Not only did he fail to stop Wang Dachun from scoring, he also committed continuous fouls.
Rockets head coach Rick Adelman believes that this is not the way to go. No one on the Rockets can limit Wang Dachun's scoring.
He didn't want Wang Dachun, a second-year student, to score too high in front of him.
So Carl Landry was sent up, Scola was replaced, and the two of them flanked Wang Dachun to prevent him from scoring.
When Wang Dachun saw this situation, he naturally stopped playing hard. He was just a little naive but not stupid. As long as the Rockets flanked him inside, he would pass the ball to Aldridge in the open position, allowing Ade to score.
He only needs to attract the defense when attacking and go all out when defending. This also makes the Blazers more flexible.
Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan wants to cover his mouth and snicker now. Although the scoring efficiency of both teams on the field is not high.
But in this situation, Roy can't open up the outside. Wang Dachun can support the offense and defense inside. This is a scene he has always dreamed of, how can he be unhappy?
If someone asks Nate McMillan now, how does Wang Dachun compare with Oden?
I guess he will answer.
"Who is Auden?"
…
At the end of the first half, the score between the two teams was 54:41, with the Trail Blazers leading by 13 points.
Although Wang Dachun only scored 7 points in the second quarter, he also scored 6 rebounds, 1 block and 3 assists.
After halftime, head coach Nate McMillan did not let Wang Dachun play in the third quarter due to his physical problems.
Wang Dachun was indeed tired. He played two consecutive quarters. According to his physical strength, if he could last on the court for 5 minutes at most, he probably wouldn't be able to run.
Roy also opened up his touch at this time and began to attack continuously. He kept the score between the two teams at more than 10 points.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Wang Dachun had just gained two minutes. After only one forced inside attack, the Rockets surrendered.
Because the score difference at this time has reached 15 points.
And now Adelman can't think of a way to target Wang Dachun. He doesn't want to make the score too big.
So I withdrew my troops early and let the substitutes come on to chase points. Don't make it too ugly.
Nate McMillan also replaced all the main players and replaced them with substitute players.
Today the Trail Blazers barely clocked out for the third quarter. The main players were talking and laughing off the court, and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed.
The two teams finally scored 97:86, with the Trail Blazers winning the game.
Wang Dachun made his debut in the Trail Blazers' first regular season game. He played 26 minutes and scored 26 points, 14 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 4 assists.
Not only did he score the highest score for the team for the first time, he also scored the highest score for the entire game.
Roy scored 20 points and Aldridge scored 15 points.
…
Little Nelson didn't know how he finished watching this game. He felt that his angina pectoris was about to break out.
A man thought about it for a long time in the office, and finally picked up his phone and called Carlisle, the head coach of the Mavericks.
"Old man! In tomorrow's game, let Oden play 10 more minutes and give him more shots to make his data look better!"
After Little Nelson said these words, he seemed to have lost all his strength.
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time. Carlisle sighed and said.
"Oden's current physical condition is already at risk if he plays for 20 minutes. If he plays for 10 more minutes, his probability of injury will be too high! I don't agree with your decision!"
Carlisle had also just watched the game between the Rockets and Trail Blazers. He could understand why Nelson Jr. made this call to him.
However, he still expressed his concerns and hoped that Nelson would not be impulsive and make any stupid decisions.
"Then let him play for 26 minutes. I want to see what Oden can do for the Mavericks in these 26 minutes?" Nelson said in a very firm tone.
"Okay, since you insist, I'll let him play for 26 minutes!" Carlisle reluctantly agreed to him on the phone.
…
The second day after the game, it exploded!
Portland exploded. Dallas exploded. Houston also joined in the fun and they exploded too.
