I'm an NBA goalie

Chapter 85

"Talk?" Wang Dachun was a little puzzled.

William looked around the basketball hall and said.

"This doesn't seem like a place to chat. Let's go, I know a good place. We can go there to chat, and I won't let you drink." William suggested.

Wang Dachun didn't say much.After packing up his things, he walked out of the training hall with William.

The place William mentioned was not too far from the basketball court.The two arrived after ten minutes of walking.This is a small bar.There were not many people inside at this time.The environment is relatively quiet.

The two found a seat by the window and sat down.William ordered a glass of lemonade for Wang Dachun.Ordered myself a glass of whiskey.

William asked first.

"I heard that you just bought a villa, do you need any help?"

"Hehe, thank you, no need. It's still under renovation, and my agent is watching over there for me. It's estimated that I can live in it in summer!" Wang Dachun said.

"I really envy you stars. You can afford a villa so quickly." William said with some envy.

"What kind of football star am I? I lost everything to buy this villa. I guess when I move in, I don't even have the money to buy furniture." Wang Dachun also said jokingly.

"Wang, don't underestimate yourself. Little Mr. Nelson asked me to come to you. I was afraid that this period of time would shorten your playing time. I was afraid that you might have something in your heart, so let me come and have a chat with you." William explained .

"I don't have any ideas. The team's recent record is good. This is something we should be happy about." Wang Dachun said lightly.

"Okay, don't say you don't care so much. Your mood during this time is very obvious on your face. Mr. Nelson Jr.'s original words are. You are still the main center trained by the Mavericks. Don't worry." William said.

Nelson asked William to come to Wang Dachun because he was also concerned about Wang Dachun's reduced playing time and some negative reports in the media.Afraid that the boy's self-confidence would be hit.

He also asked Coach Carlisle about it.Carlisle is quite satisfied with Wang Dachun.But at this stage to help the team, Dampier's effect is significantly better.After all, Dampier's offense at the basket is something that Wang Dachun does not have now.

And the regular season is coming to an end.Immediately back into the playoffs.This requires even more consideration of the experience of the players on the field.

If Dampier's performance is still the same as the first half of the season.Inefficient and unstable.Coach Carlisle will naturally use Wang Dachun, who has a better defensive effect.But after all, a basketball game can't just look at defense.There is also the issue of offense to consider.

Now Dampier's state is picking up.Helps the team more in terms of scoring.There will naturally be more playing time.This can only compress Wang Dachun's playing time.

If little Nelson talked to Wang Dachun by himself, it would be too formal and inappropriate in terms of identity, so he asked William to talk to Wang Dachun, to ease Wang Dachun's heart.

"Okay, I have completed the task assigned to me by Mr. Nelson Jr. I can only say that Mr. Nelson Jr. still values ​​you. Next, I will give you advice and opinions on my own behalf as a friend. said William.

"William, tell me, I'm listening!" Wang Dachun replied.

"I'm the first friend you made in America, right?" William asked.

"Of course. You are not only my first friend in the United States, but also the person who helped me the most in Dallas." Wang Dachun replied.

"I have witnessed your growth since you came to the Mavericks until now. You will definitely become a superstar. You must be confident. Don't be influenced by those messy media and some bullshit remarks. You have a historic body. You You are very hardworking. You don’t have the bad habits of many players. So you will definitely succeed.” William said to Wang Dachun affirmatively.

"William, thank you. I won't be influenced by them." Wang Dachun patted his chest and replied.

Wang Dachun was indeed a little unconfident during this time.After all, the playing time in the first half of the month was relatively stable.was pulled down suddenly.There is a bit of a gap in my heart, coupled with some negative reports from the media, there must be some impact.

"That's good, then let me, who has been in the basketball industry for many years, help you. Analyze your current status." William said.

"Do you know what Dampier's annual salary is?"

Wang Dachun shook his head to express that he did not know.

"Dampier's annual salary is $1155 million!"

"My God, so high?" Wang Dachun was also surprised, he did not expect that Dampier, who often only scored a few points and a few rebounds in a game, would have such a high annual salary.

"It's really that high. This guy declared back then that "Shark O'Neal is the No. [-] center in the Western Conference."And he is the second center in the West. "Although it is a little exaggerated. But he does have impressive strength."

William continued,

"Do you know why he performed so poorly for half a season and is still a fixed starting center?"

Wang Dachun shook his head to express that he did not know.

"Because there is a clause in his contract stating the playing time and starting position, unless the team does not use this center, which cost more than 1000 million to sign. Otherwise, his playing time and starting position are absolutely guaranteed!"

Only then did Wang Dachun recall when he signed the contract with the Mavericks.Frank has emphasized that he will discuss playing time and team positioning with the Mavericks.

"Is this thing so important?" Wang Dachun asked.

"Of course it's important! If you want to become a basketball star, you must first have a fixed playing time. With a fixed playing time, you can get good statistics. If you don't have playing time, no matter how good you are, you can't get good data." The stats are useless. The NBA is a place to look at the stats!"

Wang Dachun patted his head regretfully.Really should have let Frank help me talk about playing time.I only blame myself for being too anxious and inexperienced at the time!
"And Dampier this guy is very smart!" William continued.

"Smart?" Wang Dachun was puzzled.

"Dampier has been performing so poorly in the first half of the season, and it is not ruled out that he may not have recovered. But he certainly did not try his best!" William explained.

"Why do you say that?" Wang Dachun asked.

"Of course it's the injury problem. There are more than 80 games in the regular season. If you try your best to play every game, you will be easily injured, especially at an age like Dampier who has passed his peak. There are hidden dangers of injury. He has to protect his body even more!" William explained.

"Then why are you working so hard now?" Wang Dachun was puzzled.

"That's the smart thing about this guy. With such a big contract, if the data is too bad. Don't say it's a starting position next season. It's possible to be cut. Enter the playoffs in a healthy state and get a good Data, in order to continue to get big contracts!" William said as if I knew everything.

"I'm still too naive! I thought I could still reach the starting position." Wang Dachun said with a sigh.

"King! You can completely replace Dampier and become the starter yourself!" William said solemnly.

"Dude, stop joking. I can't score nearly 20 points per game!" Wang Dachun said self-deprecatingly.

"Then what if you can get it? There is no problem with your defense. You are even close to the top in the league. All you lack is game experience and offensive means. As long as you can develop your offensive means, you can become a starter. Dampier's defensive effect is really not as good as yours!" William said to Wang Dachun with certainty.

Offensive method, I can't even solve the free throw problem right now.What about offense?Wang Dachun sighed in his heart.
