I'm an NBA goalie

Chapter 28 The end of the preseason

The next four games after returning from Washington are in Dallas.

October 10th.Against the Bulls.

October 10th.Against the Bucks.

October 10th.Against the Pacers.

October 10th.Against the Pistons.

In these 4 games, only when the Mavericks had an absolute advantage against the Bucks, Wang Dachun got 5 rebounds and 5 block in 1 minutes of playing in the last garbage time, and all other statistics were 0.

The head coach's actions also dissatisfied the fans at the scene. They believed that the preseason is the best time to hone new players. As a rookie selected by the Mavericks this year, Wang Dachun should get more playing time.

Coach Carlisle was unmoved. He was originally a very traditional academic coach who paid great attention to the players' basketball foundation and tactical understanding.

Obviously Wang Dachun has not met his requirements so far, so Wang Dachun is only allowed to play during garbage time.

Wang Dachun is also a little frustrated about this, he can only blame his basketball foundation is really not very good, his tactical understanding is very general, he can only train hard every day, hoping that his hard work can make up for his weakness, and his basketball skills will improve.

The results of these 4 home games are two wins and two losses, and the final score is:

Mavericks vs Bulls. 110: 102 wins.

Mavericks vs Bucks. 105: 79 wins.

Mavericks vs Pacers. 93:100 negative.

Mavericks vs Pistons. 81:85 negative.

The last three games of the preseason, the Mavericks are away games, namely:
October 10th.The Mavericks have an away game against the Kings.

October 10nd.The Mavericks play away against the Bulls.

October 10th.The Mavericks played away against the Pacers.

The final result of the three away games was 1 win and 2 losses. Wang Dachun did not play in these three games. Even with the Kings leading by 20 points, he was still sitting on the bench.

Wang Dachun himself has doubts about himself. In the eyes of the coach, is it a waste of garbage time to play by himself?Of course, he didn't dare to question the coach about this question.

The Mavericks had eight games in the preseason, and the final result was four wins and four losses. After eight games, the warm-up match ended, and the regular season began soon.

Little Nelson finished today's day's work and was ready to go home. During this period of time, he was very busy. Josh Howard caused a big mess some time ago, and he just settled it these few days.

I don't know what this guy thinks, he will kill himself for the results he finally achieved. If it wasn't affected by this year's Mavericks lineup, he really wanted to trade this guy out.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw that the lights on the training ground were still on. It seemed that someone was practicing?

It's almost ten o'clock in the evening, who is still training?In his impression, the Mavericks don't have such hard-working players, so he walked into the training ground curiously.

After entering, I saw a big man. He should have just picked up a basket of basketballs and came to the free throw line to practice free throws. From the training uniform, it can be seen that this guy should have been practicing for a long time.

Of course he knew who the boy in front of him was. Since the last press conference, the two of them seemed to have never met each other. The boy gave him the impression that he was talented and honest. very hardworking.

He saw from the pre-season game report obtained by his assistant today that the head coach Carlisle didn't seem to give this Chinese boy too many opportunities to play.

This is not acceptable. In addition to his talent, he signed this boy, and his commercial value cannot be ignored.

During this period of time, it is displayed in the survey form of the team's peripheral products.The boy already has a decent following in Dallas.

If Carlisle doesn't give this little guy more chances to play, it may make many fans resist the team.

He had to talk to Carlisle about these issues, and he had to give this little guy more chances to play.

The Mavericks’ first opponent in the regular season seems to be the Rockets. The Rockets currently have China’s Yao, who is known as the “No. A good opportunity in the Chinese market, he must have a good chat with Carlisle, and give this boy enough playing time in the next game.

After Wang Dachun shot the 1000th free throw, he checked the time and it was past ten o'clock, and it was time to go back.

He was too lazy to go to the locker room to take a shower. He picked up the basketballs scattered all over the court during free throw practice and put them back on the basketball cart. He took his bag and left the training hall. He said hello to the doorman, stepped on The bicycle rode slowly towards the apartment.

It takes about an hour to ride a bicycle from the arena to his apartment. Both Frank and Zhang Yanan asked him to buy a car so that he can travel conveniently without spending more than two hours on the way to and from the arena every day.

Cars are still quite cheap in the United States. If you buy a second-hand car, Wang Dachun can buy a good one with one month's salary, but what is more embarrassing is that Wang Dachun can't drive and has never learned.

During this period of time, the schedule for the competition is relatively tight, and I don’t have enough time to practice basketball, so it is impossible to spare time to learn how to drive.

And he also enjoys the feeling of riding a bicycle to see the scenery, especially on the way to the arena in the morning, he often meets the surrounding residents to greet him, and many people cheer him up, which makes him feel warm. Let him gradually like this city a little bit.

I returned to the apartment along the path I had been groping for a while, and after washing up, I wanted to ask the system some questions.

In Dallas, Wang Dachun doesn’t have many friends, only William and Frank Zhang Yanan are the three who do their best. William has his own job and family, but they can chat with each other when they meet each other on the team, and they are usually busy with their own things.

Frank is often in New York, and the two usually contact each other by phone. Even when he comes to Dallas, he spends more time with Zhang Yanan, because they are a couple after all.

Zhang Yanan, well, this is a sister, you can ask him for help, chat, or forget it.

He talks to his family on the phone once a week, and he only reports good news but not bad news. He doesn't want his family to worry about him across the ocean.

So he sometimes feels lonely, although most of his teammates are quite friendly to him and have invited him to nightclubs.But he is not used to his teammates using this method to connect with each other, so he has never been there.

Many times he is chatting with the system, treating the system as one?Half a friend, talk to it and ask some questions, of course this is just his one-sided opinion.

Although the system did not give him some practical things, many opinions are still helpful to him. For example, he wants to ask today:
"System, I basically don't attack much now, why should I practice free throws?"

"Host, the inside offense is the most likely to be fouled. Although the host has fewer offensive opportunities now, free throws cannot be practiced in a day or two. It takes perseverance to improve your free throw percentage when you make free throws on the field.

"Hey, I can't even guarantee my playing time now. I only played five or six minutes in two of the eight games in the preseason. I don't know how much time I can play in the regular season!"

"What the host needs is an opportunity, and the opportunity is what he strives for. I believe that as long as the host seizes every opportunity, he will definitely get more opportunities to play."

"I hope so!"
