Chapter 144: Wengenis' phone call
The ball in Wang Dachun's hand was when Richard Jefferson had just taken off and was about to swing his arm.
He turned sideways, stood on tiptoes, and grabbed the basketball directly.
The whole action was very fast. When Jefferson dunked, he didn't even notice that the ball had already been caught by Wang Dachun.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Wang Dachun threw the ball to Blake.
Wang Dachun ignored Richard Jefferson, who was still making a fool of himself, and quickly rushed towards the Spurs' frontcourt.
Roy ran the fastest, with Wang Dachun and Blake following behind him.
Blake threw the ball to Roy. After receiving the ball, Roy rushed to the penalty area and looked back at Wang Dachun's position.
He got up and didn't dunk, but hit the ball on the backboard. This was an action they had practiced before. He used this action to make the scene more exciting.
Wang Dachun jumped directly from the free throw line. He caught the rebounding basketball, protected the ball with both arms, and slammed the basketball into the basket.
The Blazers scene really exploded, and the shouts from many excited fans were already a bit "split".
After Wang Dachun landed, Roy happily stepped forward and bumped his chest with Wang Dachun.
He was a little too excited and forgot Wang Dachun's strength.
He was almost knocked to the ground by the force of the rebound. However, he regained his balance and laughed again.
Score 0:6.
In the following games, no one on the Spurs team dared to rush into the paint. Basically, they all took action around Wang Dachun.
Wang Dachun only helped defend other Spurs players, but still mainly defended Duncan. Duncan's shooting percentage was also seriously affected by Wang Dachun until the end of the first quarter. Duncan took 9 shots and only hit three goals.
The score between the two teams was 26:18.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Dachun started his offensive mode.
This time the Spurs' defender became Matt Bonner.
This is what Spurs head coach Popovich ordered.
It doesn't matter if Wang Dachun doesn't enter the penalty area. This guy doesn't have the ability to make mid-range and long-range shots. He can be easily controlled if he doesn't enter the penalty area.
If Wang Dachun enters the restricted area, then a dangerous signal will come.
The best way to defend Wang Dachun is to use foul tactics when you can't withstand his attacks.
Although Duncan's defense is definitely better than Matt Bonner's, Popovich cannot let the team's main player score points to accompany the number of fouls.
Matt Bonner tried his best when he defended Wang Dachun.
But he really couldn't withstand Wang Dachun's strength. After being forcibly scored by Wang Dachun twice in a row, he gave up the struggle.
He chose to foul first when Wang Dachun was about to take action. He was afraid that if he fouled again after Wang Dachun took action, he might be directly scored 2+1.
Wang Dachun's free throw shooting percentage finally returned to his normal level this time, hitting 4 of 8 free throws in the second quarter.
At the end of the first half, the score between the two teams was 39:52, with the Trail Blazers leading by 13 points.
After the start of the second half of the game.
In order to chase points, the Spurs replaced Ginobili, who had just returned from injury.
After Ginobili came on the court, the Spurs' point-chasing effect immediately increased and they scored more points.
The Trail Blazers' outside defensive level is not high and can only be evaluated as average.
Blake can't guard Tony Parker. Tony Parker can interfere with Blake's performance.
Ginobili couldn't guard Roy. But Roy also couldn't guard Ginobili.
Only Wang Dachun could barely limit Duncan's scoring.
But Wang Dachun couldn't help defend Tony Parker and Ginobili.
The score was gradually caught up.
Fortunately, Aldridge's scoring at this point has been relatively stable, barely holding the score steady.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Wang Dachun's defensive effect finally came out. Matt Bonner had already been beaten by him. Duncan was too tired to run.
Replacing Matt Bonner was Antonio McDyess, who was only 2.06 meters tall.
The Trail Blazers' two insiders finally began to show off their power.
Wang Dachun used his last effort to help the Trail Blazers expand the score to 20 points.
At the 8th minute of the 4th quarter, Spurs head coach Popovich saw that there was no hope of chasing points, so he replaced all the main players.
Wang Dachun and the main players, who were almost exhausted, were also replaced.
The final score between the two teams was 96:83.
All the Trail Blazers' "Tridents" scored in double figures.
Wang Dachun scored 22 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.
Teammate Roy scored 28 points. Aldridge scored 20 points.
The three of them scored 70 points together!
After the game, the fans at the Trail Blazers' home court refused to leave for a long time and kept cheering to celebrate the team's 7th consecutive victory.
…
After the press conference, it was almost 11 o'clock when Wang Dachun returned to the apartment.
Looking at the deserted apartment, Wang Dachun's good mood after winning just now became not so happy again.
Wang Dachun didn't want to sleep for a while, so he took out his computer and logged in to his Facebook account.
Rebecca opened this account for him yesterday. He has not logged in yet.
Rebecca said that she also had a Facebook account. Wang Dachun wanted to log in and see what Rebecca had on Facebook.
But as soon as he logged in, Frank's call came back.
"Okay, buddy, your first sneaker contract has been finalized, and I want to tell you as soon as possible!" Frank's tone seemed very excited.
"Is it Nike?" Wang Dachun asked.
"Yes, it's Nike!" Frank replied.
"How about it, how much is it, and what are the reward terms?" Wang Dachun was still concerned about how much money he could get.
"You need to thank me! With my unremitting efforts, you got a pretty good study contract, and the terms are also very good!" Frank said proudly.
It was also the first time for Frank to negotiate alone with two large companies.
For him, this is the first battle in his life.
For this negotiation, he had been preparing since last year. With Wang Dachun also doing his best, he had a lot of negotiating capital.
Although the other party did not fully accept the conditions he proposed, they adopted most of them.
"Stop being so pretentious, tell me what's going on and how much money can I get?" Wang Dachun urged.
Seeing Wang Dachun in such a hurry, Frank said with a smile.
"The final amount finalized with Nike is 8.6 million over five years. All existing reward terms are added, and the amount fluctuates between 500,000 and 2 million. In other words, the more honors you get in the future, the richer you will be.
!do you understand!"
"Well, how much tax do I need to file?"
Regarding the issue of taxation, Wang Dachun is always the most concerned about it.
The sound of Frank slapping his forehead came from the other end of the phone.
"In such a happy moment, can you not be so vulgar?" Frank said helplessly.
"I think I would be happier if I were more realistic!" Wang Dachun said truthfully.
"I haven't fully calculated the exact amount yet. I'll tell you after I figure it out." Frank didn't want to talk about this topic with Wang Dachun anymore.
