Chapter 73 Two consecutive wins
Facing the Sonics' counterattack, the Mavericks immediately made adjustments, not just blindly breaking through the paint.
Instead, they focus more on passing the ball and looking for scoring opportunities through pick-and-roll screens.
In order to contain Wang Hao, Nelson even sent out Steve Nash, who was better at shooting.
However, with the consecutive scoring of Vernon Maxwell and Vin Baker, the Sonics still completed the lead.
To put it bluntly, the game is a process of ebb and flow. Once your opponent gains momentum, you have to work twice as hard.
The Mavericks' adjustments have indeed improved their offense, but they are unable to attack the paint like they did in the first half, which undoubtedly reduces their offensive efficiency.
In addition, Michael Finley's scoring efficiency today was not very high, so he was naturally at a disadvantage.
One thing is that Nelson sent Steve Nash to face him, which really shocked Wang Hao.
After all, this is a famous biological player.
Fortunately, this guy has been floating on the outside without taking any free throws, and the biochemical attack mode has not been activated.
"Beep!"
As the referee's whistle blows, the game ends.
The SuperSonics defeated the Mavericks 106:97 and achieved their first home victory of the season.
The start of the two-game winning streak made the fans at the scene extremely satisfied, and they were still shouting the team's name.
"Well done, Jelani!"
Wang Hao also stood up from the bench and cheered when he came off the field to express his congratulations.
That's right, the last few minutes became garbage time, as both sides replaced their main players one after another.
"Wang, next, you need to accept an interview."
The team staff informed Wang Hao that he still needed to undergo an interview before he could leave the game.
In this regard, Wang Hao has no choice but to accept interviews in order to get more attention.
"Hello, Wang, I'm Susan, a reporter from the Seattle Times. It's my pleasure to interview you."
A graceful blonde beauty took the initiative to greet Wang Hao and stretched out her hand to shake hands.
Since she is a reporter covering the scene, she has to appear on camera, so it goes without saying that she is a beauty.
No, when shaking hands, he also took the opportunity to scratch Wang Hao's palm. It's self-evident what he meant.
Wang Hao didn't dare to respond. This was a reporter. Who knew he would become news material one day.
Moreover, looking at how familiar this guy is, who knows how many like-minded people there are.
He is not so hungry that he is not selective about food.
"Thank you, Susan."
Seeing Wang Hao's serious look, Susan smiled proudly, as if she had everything she wanted.
In her opinion, is it possible that a young and shy person can still run away from her Wuzhishan?
All I can say is that this person is always so confident!
"Wang, we have all seen that you have performed very well in two consecutive games. Do you have any secrets?"
"Well, train hard, wait for opportunities at any time, and then leave no stone unturned on the court."
"Although the season has just begun, you are definitely the best rookie so far. Do you have any goals?"
"Well, I hope I can perform better next time."
"That's not what I meant. Is there any specific goal, such as Rookie of the Year?"
"Rookie of the Year? Honestly, it's very special for every player.
No matter who is the top pick or the undrafted player, they only have one chance in their lifetime to chase this award.
If you miss this time, you will never have another chance, and the same is true for me. If possible, of course I will do it!"
Wang Hao is indeed keeping a low profile, but only when he is not looking for trouble.
But keeping a low profile is not a good thing.
Especially in a society like the United States, without enough news and a lot of exposure, maybe it will be forgotten.
Which superstar is unknown?
Even Duncan is a low-key player, but there are still countless reports about him every day.
To be honest, if he doesn't accept interviews, where will the media find so much material to report on?
Sure enough, after hearing this, Susan's eyes lit up, there was big news today.
After finishing the interview, when I walked to the players' tunnel, Jeff Schwartz was already waiting there.
"Well done, King!"
Jeff Schwartz's voice was very exciting, as if a stack of U.S. dollars had fallen from the sky and hit his head.
It’s really a treasure!
If one game can still be a coincidence, what about two games?
23 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls. These are Wang Hao's statistics in this game, and Jeff Schwartz already knows them by heart.
In terms of game statistics, perhaps Vin Baker's 24 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists looked more eye-catching.
But everyone understands that the key to winning today is Wang Hao, and there are many things that data cannot reflect.
More importantly, through today's game, the Sonics also solved a problem, the problem of interior basket protection.
Although Wang Hao is not an inside player and his effect in protecting the basket will not be too obvious, the improvement is real.
It’s the first time you step into the basketball field and you sign such a player with star potential. Isn’t this pie in the sky?
What's more, there is huge business potential in Wang Hao.
"Thanks, Jeff!"
"Let's go back to the locker room first. I think we need to have a good talk."
"no problem."
Watching Wang Hao return to the locker room, Jeff Schwartz frowned a little, and he had a bad feeling.
Wang Hao acted too calm just now, which made him a little uneasy. This behavior was a bit abnormal!
You know, as early as yesterday, he had already told Wang Hao about commercial endorsements.
You know, most of the rookies entering the NBA are young people. What are young people interested in?
Naturally, they want to eat, drink and have fun, and to satisfy these hobbies, a large amount of US dollars is naturally indispensable.
Especially Wang Hao, as a last-round pick, his income is not high. Shouldn't he be happy to be endorsed at this time?
This performance is really abnormal!
"Is it possible that an agent contacted Wang?"
Thinking of this, Jeff Schwartz was a little frightened, but he quickly calmed down.
After being in the sports agent industry for so long, I have never encountered anything, and poaching each other is even more common.
After thinking about it carefully, Jeff Schwartz felt that it was necessary to show more sincerity and that preparations needed to be made in advance.
Of course Wang Hao didn't know that Jeff Schwartz was just making up his own mind, and made up a big show.
But to be honest, he was indeed a little dissatisfied.
If Jeff Schwartz still has this attitude, then he won't mind changing agents in the future.
But, not now.
He needs to focus on the basketball court now instead of worrying about these trivial matters.
As long as you show enough strength, there will be bread, milk, and everything else.
Chapter completed!
