I Am An NBA Goalkeeper

The Spurs are at home on April 18.

Wang Dachun and his teammates just finished warming up before the game. Back on the bench.

Wang Dachun sat on the bench and looked at the crowded stadiums.

This is the playoffs. The audience is obviously more than the regular season. The crowds of people in the auditorium were all heads.

Today is the first game of the first round of the playoffs, the Spurs' home court.

Wang Dachun is still full of expectations, and doesn't know how long he can play today. Wang Dachun still has a little contradiction in his heart. He wants to play by himself, but he is afraid that he will affect the team's record after he goes on the court.

The Mavericks' starting lineup today is.

Jason Kidd, Antoine White, Josh Howard, Dirk Nowitzki, Eric Dampier.

The Spurs' starting lineup is.

Tony Parker. Roger Mason. Michael Finley. Tim Duncan. Matt Bonner.

Game start.

In the first quarter, Wang Dachun had no chance to play and could only watch the game off the court.

The Spurs have been pressing the Mavericks in this quarter. Nowitzki was 1 of 5 shots defended by Duncan and only scored 2 points and 2 rebounds.

Josh Howard was also defended by Michael Finley and only scored 6 points, which still took 7 shots.

The best performer was Dampier. Although he only shot once, he scored 2 points, 5 baskets and 2 assists. And the defensive Matt Bonner scored no points.

The Spurs feel hot on their hands. The shooting percentage is above 50%, and Michael Finley even scored 8 points on 3 of 4 shots and two assists.

This also made in the first quarter of the game, the score of the two teams was gradually opened.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 18 to 29, and the Mavericks were 11 points behind.

The second quarter of the game.

In the first quarter, Dampier kept chasing Matt Bonner, and his physical exertion was relatively serious. Coach Carlisle sent Wang Dachun as a substitute to give Dampier time to rest.

Spurs coach Popovich saw Wang Dachun on the court and believed that Wang Dachun was still a relatively large threat to the Spurs inside, so he directly replaced Matt Bonner and replaced Drew Gooden to defend Wang Dachun.

From Popovich's point of view, Wang Dachun is only better defensively, and there is no threat on offense. However, Wang Dachun's protection of the inside line should not be underestimated, especially since the Spurs mainly rely on Tony Parker's inside breakthrough and Tim Duncan's inside attack.

And Drew Gooden is an veteran of the league, and the experience of cleaning up this rookie is the most abundant. In order to reduce resistance to the inside line in the second half, this rookie must be beaten down.

These two years have been two years of distress for Drew Gooden, especially since he was traded from the Bulls to the Sacramento Kings in February this year, and was waived by the Kings in March. The Spurs only followed suit in order to deepen the depth of the bench. I signed a temporary guarantee contract.

An NBA tramp like him, he knows what he should do on the court. He has never done less dirty work on the court.

The head coach put himself on the court for the Mavericks rookie. He also has confidence that he can definitely make Wang Dachun pay a few fouls in one quarter.

Wang Dachun has learned to be smart now, and every time he will first look at the information about the players he is facing. To understand the characteristics of the other party, what badges, and how should you deal with it?

Just saw Gooden's statistics, this guy should be regarded as the kind of panacea that coach Solano used to say. I know everything, but none seems to be proficient.

Except for close shots and rebounds reaching nearly 170, other data fluctuates between 110 and 120, and there are no badges and special skills. It shouldn't be difficult to deal with it by yourself.

…

The Mavericks attacked, Kidd dribbled to the frontcourt. Pass the ball directly to Nowitzki inside. Nowitzki didn't feel good today, having made 1 of 5 shots in the first quarter. Seeing that Duncan was still more difficult to defend himself, he passed the basketball to Josh Howard on the outside.

Josh Howard broke into the inside and forced a layup, but the ball was not scored and was defended by Michael Finley.

Gooden, who got stuck with Wang Dachun on the inside, was ready to take off the rebound. However, his height is only 2.08 meters, and his wingspan is not excellent. Even if Wang Dachun was barely stuck behind him, Wang Dachun was still behind him and got the rebound in his hands.

After getting the rebound, Wang Dachun. Seeing that he was in a good position, he was familiar with the dunk points, so he stood up and was ready to dunk. Gooden wanted to hold Wang Dachun to prevent him from getting up, but Wang Dachun still forced the goal based on his physical advantage.

20 to 29.

Wang Dachun scored two points at the beginning of the second quarter.

The reason why he took the initiative to attack is obviously the change of Wang Dachun during this period. If it were before, he would definitely pass the ball.

Now he is for the data, for the reward, as long as he has the opportunity, he tries to score by himself, unless he is not sure that he will pass the basketball. He didn't have the ball in the first place. The coach will not blame him if he can't get in.

Gooden was a bit shameless by Wang Dachun's make-up. The old man Popovich explained to him before he played and tried to beat Wang Dachun down. This hasn't gotten much better yet, so it gets two points for the family. It seems that I have to step up a little bit.

The Spurs offense.

Parker wandered around looking for a breakthrough opportunity. The Mavericks defended Tony Parker tightly.

This season Tony Parker has improved his field goal percentage a lot from last season, averaging 22 points, 6.9 assists, and 3.1 rebounds per game, especially his breakthrough, which is a great threat to the Mavericks inside.

The Mavericks' defensive strategy against Tony Parker is to break through and attack. As long as Parker breaks into the post, they immediately double-team and steal.

Parker really intends to break into the inside with this goal. In the first quarter, he scored 6 out of 3 and scored 8 points with two fouls.

Tony Parker dribbled with the ball on the perimeter for a while, suddenly accelerated two consecutive changes to pass Kidd, Kidd's old waist really can't turn. Can only watch Tony Parker break through himself.

Antoine White, who helped defend, was preparing to block Tony Parker's offensive route. Tony Parker swayed and shook White aside. Parker continued to accelerate to the penalty area, ready to score the goal.

At this time, Wang Dachun was being taken by Drew Gooden. Tossing upset. This guy is so disgusting, he keeps making small movements, pinching and pulling on his waist. When he was moving inside just now, this guy still stepped on his own feet, trying to trip him. The referee seemed to be acquainted with this kind of action and didn't mean to make any penalty.

The defensive intensity of the playoffs is indeed much greater. If you put it in the previous regular season, you will definitely be called fouls.

Although he was very angry by Drew Gooden. But his task is to defend the penalty area. Seeing Tony Parker got up to prepare for a layup, he was still blocked by Gooden sideways, unable to defend Tony Parker's layup.
