I Am An NBA Goalkeeper

Chapter 19: Continuous fermentation

July 21.

The attendance rate of the basketball arena today was significantly higher than that of the last game between the Mavericks and the Spurs. At the same time, several media reporters and scouts from other NBA teams appeared on the scene.

The Rocky Mountain Summer League itself is a relatively small-scale league held in the summer league. The real NBA teams only need to invite six, plus a development league team and the Iranian national team to make up the total. There are only eight teams to play, so the game schedule is relatively generous, with one game every day.

Today the Mavericks are playing against the Utah Jazz. Before the game, players from both sides warmed up on the court. The Mavericks were doing shooting exercises. Wang Dachun was responsible for picking up the basketball shot by his teammates and passing it back to them.

It's not that Wang Dachun was squeezed out by his teammates to work as a caddie, but coach Solano specially arranged for him.

The effect of shooting is not a one-and-a-half time experience. The coach thinks that Wang Dachun now needs to practice passing the ball because he passes the ball too hard. After the game against the Spurs, the feedback from his teammates to the coach is hope. He is a little bit weaker in the strength of his passing, and must be adjusted, otherwise his ball will pass into the hands of his teammates and the whole hand will be numb.

When doing passing exercises, Wang Dachun felt that many people at the scene were watching him, which made him feel uncomfortable. After all, it felt awkward to be stared at by hundreds of people suddenly.

Green seemed to know something. He walked up to Wang Dachun and passed the basketball to him and said:

"Put the basketball in the hoop!"

Wang Dachun didn’t know what Green meant, but he came to the basket and stood on tiptoe and dunked the basketball into the hoop with one hand. This action was also the most used action during this period of time. When practicing free throws, he always didn’t score and was angry. Use this trick to abuse the rim at that time.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished the deduction, there was a burst of cheers on the scene. Green smiled beside Wang Dachun and said:

"Did you see it? Man, you are now a celebrity!"

Wang Dachun is a little dumbfounded, does he become a celebrity by putting basketball in the hoop? Not many people can do it?

Wang Dachun didn't realize it, because the TV station reported his amazing performance in the game against the Spurs.

There were many more local fans in the game today. They all came to see what Wang Dachun was like in mid-air, who could catch with both hands.

At the same time, many media reporters are also interested in Wang Dachun. Although the player is not very famous at present, they still come to the scene to see if some interesting news will happen.

In addition, some NBA teams also sent their scouts to see if the newcomer they missed was as reported in the news or just a mere illusion, to refute the media's claim that they were brainstorming. Shit idiot.

The game officially started.

The starting lineup sent by the Utah Jazz is:

The point guard, Ronnie Price, is 188 cm tall.

The shooting guard, Maurice Almond, is 198 cm tall.

The small forward, Ronnie Brewer, is 201 cm tall.

The power forward, Paul Millsap, is 203 cm tall.

The center, Costa Koffos, is 213 cm tall.

Utah Jazz center Costa Koffos, like Wang Dachun, is a rookie this year. He was selected by the Jazz with the 23rd overall pick in the first round.

The Dallas Mavericks' lineup is the same as that of the Spurs:

Point guard, Jose Barea, is 183 cm tall.

Shooting guard, Dwayne Mitchell, is 196 cm tall.

The small forward, Gerald Green, is 201 cm tall.

Power forward, Braden Bass, 203 cm tall

The center, Ryan Hollins, is 213 cm tall.

There is not much difference between the lineups of the two sides today. It can be said that they are evenly matched. Wang Dachun still has not been able to start today. Coach Solano still values ​​this game and hopes to win this game.

Besides, with Wang Dachun's current ability, that is, good protection of the frame, it is really not very helpful in offense, so until the end of the first quarter, Wang Dachun was not sent on the field at the beginning of the second quarter.

This time the audience stopped doing it. My heart said that we made a special trip to see the guy who can "stand up", but what do you mean by being a broken coach and not letting people go?

So the audience yelled "The King of Spring, the King of Spring". It doesn't matter if the one or two audiences shouted, they couldn't hold the hundreds of audiences.

At present, the score in the game is anxious, Solano has no plans to change players, but seeing the constant shouting from the audience, the reporter's camera also turned to him at this time. Solano did not want to commit public outrage and could only send Wang Dachun to work.

Wang Dachun was very happy at first to see the enthusiasm of the audience, but when he heard hundreds of audiences calling him "The King of Spring", the whole person's mood was not beautiful. He insisted on pronouncing the word "chun" as "stupid", a group of illiterate foreigners.

At the end of the second quarter with 15 seconds left, Wang Dachun left the field amidst the cheers of the audience.

The audience were happy with cheers. Solano was really uncomfortable and wanted to scold his mother. Wang Dachun did not deny that Wang Dachun's frame protection and defense were very good, but he couldn't stand him to send a foul to the opponent.

Five fouls, four shooting fouls, and one interfering with the offense. He forced the slightly leading score to a living 9 points behind, and the lagging score was obtained by the opponent's free throws.

The audience cheered and didn't care if you fell behind. Although they didn't see any offense by Wang Dachun, they saw Wang Dachun's defensive effect on several occasions.

In one of these defenses, Paul Millsap attacked Bath with his back. Millsap's low-post offensive methods are very rich. Although the two are the same height, Bath is not Millsap's opponent in terms of technology and strength.

Millsap squeezed into the three-second zone with his back and scammed Buzz. When he hooked up to the basket, I don't know when Wang Dachun suddenly ran behind Buzz, jumped up and easily took the ball with one hand. Catch it, pass the ball quickly, Green and Barea cooperated, and Green took a slam dunk and hit a beautiful fast break.

And the center of the same session against Wang Dachun, Costa, is also very frustrated. The height of himself and Wang Dachun is not much different. How can he be half an arm's distance from this guy when he grabs a rebound? Are my hands so short? Obviously the tonnage is not as big as oneself, why can't you squeeze?

If it wasn't for the opponent's several fouls that mostly committed on him and scored 3 points with free throws, wouldn't it mean that he was blocked by 51 in the second round with the 23rd pick in the big first round? Costa was deeply suspicious of his abilities when Wang Dachun came off the field!

And Wang Dachun didn't have it until the end.

With the chance to appear again, the Mavericks lost the game as a result! Wang Dachun's final stats against the Jazz: 9 minutes off the bench, 0 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 blocks, 0 steals, 2 losses and 5 offenses.
