February 5th, US time

After four consecutive victories, the Dallas Mavericks ushered in a big defeat.

In back-to-back away games against the Utah Jazz, the Mavericks were once again beaten to death by three-pointers.

The Jazz made 14 of 26 three-pointers.

The Mavericks made 3 of 13 three-pointers.

In the end, they lost to the Jazz by a huge score of 115 to 87.

The Mavericks' highest scorer in this game was not Nowitzki. It was Josh Howard, who made 8 of 18 shots and scored 18 points. Nowitzki made 6 of 17 shots and scored 16 points.

Wang Dachun played 20 minutes. He scored 7 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks.

After the game, bad news came. Wang Dachun was not selected for the All-Star Rookie Game.

The Mavericks' current record is 28 wins and 19 losses, ranking seventh in the Western Conference. They have played a total of 47 games. Of these 47 games, head coach Carlisle did not let Wang Dachun play in four games and twelve.

Didn't play in three games due to injury.

In other words, Wang Dachun did not participate in 16 of the 47 games and participated in 31 games.

There were five games in which Wang Dachun did not score. And in thirty-one games, Wang Dachun's average data per game was.

He averaged 11.3 minutes per game, averaging 3.9 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 3.6 fouls per game.

And according to the league's latest statistics on various data rankings, Wang Dachun has two data on the list.

Ranked fourth in the blocked shot rankings with 2.1 blocks, behind Marcus Camby.

Ranked fifth in the foul rankings with 3.6 fouls, behind Andrew Biedrins.

It's a bit of a pity in the rebounding list. Antonio McDyess averaged 9.8 rebounds per game, knocking him out of the top 10. However, according to Wang Dachun's current performance, he should be able to climb up with hard work.

Originally, Wang Dachun was very hopeful to enter the All-Star Rookie Game this year. I don't know what the league was thinking. Adding last year's No. 1 pick Greg Oden to the All-Star Rookie Game as a first-year player just squeezed Wang Dachun out.

As last year's No. 1 pick, Greg Oden's average data per game this year is.

He averaged 21.5 minutes per game, averaging 8.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, 0.5 assists, 0.4 steals and 3.9 fouls per game.

One of Oden's statistics is also on the ranking list, and it ranks first. Oden's average of 3.9 fouls per game ranks first in the league's foul rankings.

The league did this, which also made local fans in Dallas and many fans who supported Wang Dachun very dissatisfied. Many fans even exchanged insults with Trail Blazers fans in the distance.

Wang Dachun was also very angry. After all, he had just played against the Trail Blazers. No matter how serious Oden's injury was, he did beat Oden completely on the field.

But I didn't expect that I had just beaten Oden to a "zero seal" one day, and the next day I was pushed out of the All-Star Rookie Game by Oden. It would make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, the system told him that all honors or rankings obtained in the NBA will be rewarded accordingly at the end of the season.

This also means that the Alliance and Oden took away his rewards. For Wang Dachun who now wants to become stronger, this naturally raises his dissatisfaction with the Alliance to a higher level.

No matter how dissatisfied the league is, the game must continue.

February 7th.

The Dallas Mavericks face the Chicago Bulls at home.

In this game, two people from the Mavericks played crazy.

The Bulls dominated the Mavericks throughout the game. The score kept fluctuating between three and six points, and the Mavericks were unable to catch up.

In the last attack of the fourth quarter, Kidd's super long three-pointer forced the game into overtime.

At this time, Nowitzki and Wang Dachun were panting like old cows that had just finished plowing dozens of acres of land.

The Mavericks' players were out of shape throughout today's game. They relied on Nowitzki's offense and Wang Dachun's defense to keep the score.

Wang Dachun also had an unprecedented performance today. He had been on the court for 23 minutes, and he was fighting for rebounds under the targeted attack of Tyrus Thomas and Joakim Noah of the Bulls.

Now the game has been dragged into overtime, and the two of them have to continue playing.

Overtime begins. The current score between the two sides is 97-97.

Bulls offense.

Rose relied on his acceleration and change of direction to rush into the paint and assist Thomas to score with an alley-oop. Wang Dachun was preventing Qiao Jin at this time, and the two were stuck in each other's positions, unable to help defend Nowitzki.

The score is 99:97.

Kidd advanced to the frontcourt. The driver singled Thomas and hit a two-pointer with his back.

99:99.

Rose cut into the penalty area through Joe King's screen. Nowitzki, who came from the baseline, blocked the offensive path. Rose changed gears, turned and pulled the lever for a layup. Wang Dachun rushed from the side and blocked the ball.

The Bulls continue to attack.

Ben Gordon ignored Kidd's defense and shot directly from the outside. The rebound was picked off by Wang Dachun. Wang Dachun passed the ball to Josh Howard who was running forward. Josh Howard, who was holding the ball, was fouled by Luol Deng and made two free throws.

Two free throws.

101:99. The Mavericks lead by two points.

In the next two minutes, the two teams began to fight. Wang Dachun could no longer jump at this time. He tried his best to help Nowitzki stay in position and let Dirk pick up the rebound.

There were 46 seconds left in the game. Joakim Noah fouled. The current score on the court is 101:105. The Mavericks temporarily lead by four points.

The Bulls replaced Ben Gordon and put Hinrich on.

Hinrich relied on the outside screen to hit a three-pointer. Wang Dachun continued to block Nowitzki and let him pick up rebounds.

Nowitzki had just picked up the rebound and before he could hold the basketball firmly, he was intercepted by Hinrich who crossed over diagonally. He passed the ball to Thomas who had already run to the outside.

Nowitzki didn't plan to defend immediately because he knew Thomas's three-pointers were terrible. He basically didn't shoot three-pointers. But what he didn't expect was Tyrus, who had never made a three-pointer in this game.

Thomas made a three-pointer.

Score 104:105.

There are 23 seconds left in the game. The Mavericks attack.

Barea held the ball and prepared to delay time. Ross and Hinrich stepped forward to steal the ball. Barea passed the ball to Josh Howard. Thomas was fouled when he tried to steal the ball. Josh Howard made two free throws, both of which were missed.

Missed!

There are 14 seconds left in the game. The Bulls attack.

Rose quickly entered the frontcourt with the ball. The Bulls had no timeouts. Rose came to the high post. He passed the basketball to Hinrich and ran in the mid-range to find space.

Rose bypassed Jason Kidd who was guarding him and ran behind Nowitzki. Hinrich quickly passed the ball to Rose.

There are only five seconds left in the game.

At this time, Thomas and Joakim Noah were stuck behind Wang Dachun alone under the basket. Nowitzki turned around and tried to prevent Rose from shooting. Rose had already taken the first step, but the mid-range shot was a hit.

Wang Dachun tried his best to pick off the basketball, but was flanked by two inside players and was unable to jump up. The basketball was picked off by Thomas.

At this time, Thomas and Qiao Jin were facing the backboard. Wang Dachun was stuck behind Qiao Jin. Wang Dachun was on the outermost perimeter. The three of them were crowded in the penalty area.

After Thomas took off the rebound, he was eager to hit the rebound under the basket. As soon as he lifted the ball and took off, Wang Dachun stepped on his toes and slapped the basketball on the backboard across Joakim Noah.

The falling basketball fell into Joakim Noah's hand, and Noah also raised his hand to tip in. The basketball was slapped on the backboard by Wang Dachun.

At this time the final whistle sounded and the game was over.
Chapter completed!
