After Wang Dachun got out of the game, he did not get another chance to play until the end of the game.

The final score of the two teams was 112:102.

The Houston Rockets finally defeated the Dallas Mavericks who came to challenge the away game by 10 points.

The main data of the two teams:

Yao Ming performed efficiently today, playing for 41 minutes, made 11 of 15 shots, made 8 of 8 free throws, scored 30 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and scored a double-double of 30+10.

Artest: played for 39 minutes, made 10 of 22 shots. 3 of 4 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, scored 29 points, 7 rebounds and 1 steal.

McGrady's touch today was average and her offensive desire was not strong. She played for 30 minutes, made 3 of 10 free throws, made 10 of 11 free throws, failed to shoot three-pointers, scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals.

The Mavericks side.

Nowitzki: played in 39 minutes, made 10 of 22 shots, made 2 of 4 three-pointers, made 14 of 14 free throws, scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Josh Howard: played 41 minutes, made 11 of 19 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 6 of 9 free throws, scored 28 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block.

Wang Dachun: 11 minutes of playing, no shooting, no free throws, 0 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 steals, 4 blocks, and 5 fouls.

Before the players of both sides left the court, Yao Ming found Wang Dachun, and the two agreed on a location to meet for a while.

After returning to the locker room, head coach Carlisle asked Nowitzki and Wang Dachun to prepare for it and let the two go to the press conference with him later.

Wang Dachun was a little surprised. Generally, the team's best performing players in this game were participating in the press conference. He didn't score points today, and he ended up early because of a foul. How could he and the team boss participate in it?

The head coach's words made Josh Howard, who was in the locker room, look a little ugly. Although the team lost the game today, he performed very well today and almost won 30+10. The head coach did not ask him to attend the press conference, but asked a rookie to go, which made him a little angry.

In fact, Coach Carlisle did not want to take Wang Dachun to the press conference. Just now, Nelson called him, hoping that Wang Dachun would have more opportunities to show his face today.

If Wang Dachun had not had a very wonderful three-game scene today, he would not have agreed to take Wang Dachun to the press conference. As for Josh Howard's idea, he ignored it directly.

After dressing, Wang Dachun came to the press conference with the head coach and Nowitzki. After the three of them took their seats, the reporter began to ask questions.

After asking the head coach and Nowitzki about the loss of the game and whether there are any adjustments in the future, the reporter asked Wang Dachun’s questions:

"Mr. Carlisle, what's the reason for you? Let Mr. Wang Dachun attend the press conference? Did Josh Howard perform badly today?"

As an old man, Carlisle naturally would not fall into the trap put by reporters and replied humorously:

"Oh my God, I thought you wanted me to bring him here, don't you guys want to know how he did that wonderful three-block in the game?"

The reporters were also amused by Carlisle's answer.

The reporter continued to ask:

"What's the reason is that you have already fouled four times in today's game today, and you still let him stay on the court?"

Carlisle said:

""Wang, he is a very hardworking child. Fouling is indeed his biggest problem at the moment, but I don't want to lose his confidence in defending the basketball court because of fouls. Leaving him on the court is to let him know that the team and I trust him!"

Reporter asked Wang Dachun:

"How do you feel about defending and being a player from the same country?"

Wang Dachun answered honestly:

"Yao Ming is very powerful. I can't defend him at all. At most, it can only play a little interference. I still have a lot of things to learn. I will definitely ask him more advice when I have time!"

The reporter continued to ask:

"How to evaluate your wonderful performance?"

"I didn't expect that I could cover three times in one breath. I used to be a football goalkeeper. When I saw the ball in front of me, I always wanted to subconsciously take him down. Maybe it was a physical conditioning reflex?"

The reporter continued to ask:

"How do you judge your performance?"

"It's still quite bad. Fouls are my biggest drawback. I will learn from the lessons and strive to improve in the game!"

At the Rockets press conference, head coach Rick Adelman, Yao Ming and Artest attended.

After highly rated Yao Ming and Artest.

The reporter then asked:

"How to evaluate Wang Dachun of the Mavericks?"

Adelman replied:

"No need to say more, Wang Dachun's talent can be seen with the naked eye. His performance on the scene really shocked me. I can only sigh that the Mavericks are so lucky that they can choose such a good rookie with the final signing!"

The reporter asked Yao Ming how he evaluated Wang Dachun.

Yao Ming replied:

"To be honest, I was also shocked by his performance. We have never been in contact with him before. The first time we played against him, under his defense, my offense was actually very difficult. If it weren't for his lack of experience, I think it would be difficult for me to get the 30 points today. I believe I would give him enough time. He would grow into a very excellent center in the league.

After the press conference between the two sides, Wang Dachun and the head coach asked for leave and followed Yao Ming to his Yao restaurant.

Yao Ming’s Yao Restaurant is also quite famous in Houston. The foods that are usually served on the outside are more Western. Today, Yao Ming invited Wang Dachun to dinner. He explained to the chef in advance and made more domestic flavors.

The two chatted and had dinner, Yao Ming sighed:

"If you participated in the draft last year or played in the professional league earlier in China, I would definitely know you earlier. The results of the men's basketball team at this year's Capital Olympics may not be so unsatisfactory!"

Wang Dachun also joked:

I only started playing basketball this year. If I had played professional games last year, I would have played football in the country.

Yao Ming asked some questions about Wang Dachun in life to see if Wang Dachun needs his help. After all, he is a Chinese national and is only two or three Chinese in the entire alliance. Yao Ming wants to help this little brother as much as possible within his ability.

You should know that Yao Ming’s value is not comparable to Wang Dachun, let alone Yao Ming’s influence.

Wang Dachun also asked Yao Ming about some training methods for center forward to see if Yao Ming has any secrets or tricks to pass on to him.

Yao Ming did not tell Wang Dachun how he trained. Because from his perspective, he felt that although Wang Dachun was also a center forward like him, his future development and playing style may be different from him.

His advice to Wang Dachun is to do a good job of defense first and then learn offense, and to recommend him that if it is offseason, he can go to Olajuwon's training camp to train. I believe this will be of great help to him.
