After Wang Dachun left the court, he didn''t get another chance to play until the end.
The final score of the two teams was 112-102.

The main data of the two teams:

Mavericks side.

Before the players of both sides left the field, Yao Ming found Wang Dachun, and the two agreed a meeting place for a while.
Back in the dressing room, coach Carlisle asked Nowitzki and Wang Dachun to prepare for the press conference.
Wang Dachun was a little surprised. Generally, the press conference was attended by the best player in the team. He didn''t score in today''s game, and he left early because of a foul. How could he join the team leader?.
The head coach''s words made Josh Howard in the dressing room look a little ugly. Although he said that the team lost the game today, he played very well and almost won 30 + 10. The head coach didn''t let him attend the press conference, but let a rookie go, which made him a little angry.
In fact, Carlisle coach did not want to take Wang Dachun to the press conference. Just now, Nelson called him, hoping that Wang Dachun would have more opportunities to show his face today.
If it wasn''t for Wang Dachun''s wonderful scene today, he would not have agreed to take Wang Dachun to the press conference. As for Josh Howard''s idea, he directly ignored it.
After dressing, Wang Dachun came to the press conference with the head coach and Nowitzki. After the three took their seats, the following reporters began to ask questions.
After the reporter asked the head coach and Nowitzki if they had made any adjustments in the future, he asked Wang Dachun''s question:
"Mr. Carlisle, what''s the reason for your failure. Let Mr. Wang Dachun attend the press conference? Isn''t Josh Howard doing well today? "
Carlisle, as a veteran, naturally won''t fall into the trap set by the reporters. He replied wittily:
"my God, I thought you wanted me to bring him here. Don''t you want to know how he did that wonderful triple cover in the game?"
The reporters were also amused by Carlisle''s reply.
The reporter continued to ask:
"what is the reason that you have fouled Mr. Wang Dachun four times in today''s game, and you still let him stay in the field?"
Carlisle said: "Wang is a very hard-working child. Fouls are really his biggest problem at present, but I don''t want to lose his confidence in defending on the basketball court because of fouls. To keep him on the court is to let him know that the team and I trust him!"
Reporter asked Wang Dachun:
"how do you feel about Yao Ming, a player who defends and comes from the same country?"
Wang Dachun replied honestly:
"Yao Ming is very powerful. I can''t prevent him at all. At most, he can only interfere. I still have a lot to learn. I will ask him a lot when I have time!"
The reporter continued:
"how do you evaluate your wonderful performance?"
"I didn''t expect that I could cover three times at a time. I used to be a football goalkeeper. When I saw the ball in front of me, I always wanted to shoot him subconsciously. Maybe it was a physical reflex?"
The reporter continued to ask:
"how do you evaluate your performance?"
"It''s worse. Fouls are my biggest problem. I''ll learn from the game and try to improve
Rockets press conference, coach Rick Adelman, Yao Ming and Artest attended.
After highly appraising Yao Ming and Artest.
The reporter then asked:
"how to evaluate Wang Dachun of the Mavericks?"
Adelman replied:
"needless to say, Wang Dachun''s talent can be seen by the naked eye. His performance on the scene really shocked me. I can only sigh that the Mavericks are lucky and can choose such a good rookie with the last sign!"The reporter asked Yao Ming how to evaluate Wang Dachun.
Yao Ming replied:
"to tell you the truth, I was shocked by his performance. We had no contact with him before. I played against him for the first time. In fact, under his defense, my attack was very difficult. If it wasn''t for his inexperience, I think I might have got 30 points today. I believe we should give him enough time. He will grow into a very good center in the league.
After the press conference, Wang Dachun and the head coach asked for leave and went to his Yao restaurant with Yao Ming.
Yao Ming''s Yao restaurant is also well-known in Houston. The food he usually serves is more western. Today, Yao Ming invited Wang Dachun to dinner. I told the chef in advance to make more domestic food.
When they chatted and had breakfast, Yao Ming sighed:
"if you had participated in the draft last year or played professional league matches earlier in China, I would have known you earlier. The performance of the men''s basketball team in this year''s capital Olympic Games might not be so unsatisfactory!"
Wang Dachun also jokingly said:
I only started playing basketball this year. What if I played a professional game last year? It''s also playing football at home.
Yao asked Wang some questions about his life to see if he needed his help. After all, it''s Chinese. Now the whole league, that is, the two Chinese, Yao Ming wants to try his best to help the little brother within his ability.
You know, Yao Ming''s worth is not comparable to Wang Dachun''s, let alone Yao Ming''s influence.
Wang Dachun also asked Yao Ming about the training methods of some centers to see if Yao Ming has any secrets or tricks that can be passed on to him.
Yao didn''t tell Wang how he trained. Because from his point of view, he thinks that although Wang Dachun and he belong to the same center. But the future development and play may be different from him.
His advice to Wang Dachun is to do a good job in defense first and then learn to attack. He also recommends that if it''s off-season, you can go to olajuwan''s training camp to train. I believe it will be of great help to him.
Because he will fly back to Dallas early tomorrow morning, Wang daren''t stay out for too long. After chatting for a while, Yao Ming drove Wang back to his hotel.
