basketball never sleeps

Chapter 107 Finger Roll?!

"The mask shop that Chauncey contacted before has good quality products. Do you want me to introduce it to you?"

After hanging up the phone, Mo Wen patted Artest on the shoulder.

Artest nodded numbly, then hurriedly shook his head.

"Well, um, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do recently, yes, yes, it's very important, so I might have to put the boxing match on hold for now. Next time, next time... eh

, my head suddenly hurts so much, so you guys can play first while I go back to the hotel to sleep."

Artest touched the bridge of his battle-scarred nose and decisively chose to follow his heart.

He originally thought that Mo Wen was a friendly person, but unexpectedly, this guy turned out to be a wolf with a knife!

In the fourth game when Mo Wen was suspended, Wade, whose ankle was basically fine, couldn't wait to come back. O'Pang's arm was also in good condition, and he didn't want to see the team lose four games in a row.

Faced with the impact of energetic internal and external forces, the Bucks, who originally wanted to steal a victory, were defeated in the final quarter.

Wade + O'Brien are a huge challenge to the inside assist defense and individual defense.

Mo Wen, who was wearing a suit, was recruited by Fan to become a young man. It was said that Riley's team could fish without being suspended. He was about to become one of the owners of the Heat and he also began to learn to squeeze the surplus labor value of employees.

Already.

The more you work, the more you will get; but the more you know, the more you will do!

Watching the Heat players hugging each other after winning the game on TV, a handsome guy who had just declined the dunk contest invitation touched the mustache on his chin.

Now there's good news and bad news for him.

Good news: Mo Wen is still suspended for one more game, and the Heat still won't be able to play as a full team in the next game.

Bad news: They and the Heat will play two consecutive games, home and away.

His "chosen son" does not mean that he is afraid of being ignored. He should present facts and reason. Except for the top teams in the Western Conference this season, there are really not many other teams who are not scared when facing the entire Heat.

This year, under his wise leadership, the Cavaliers made it through the Eastern Conference, winning 19 games in 31 games. They jumped directly from last year's weak team to a strong team that "surely entered" the playoffs. In the past, doubts about him have followed his progress.

Excellent team leadership statistics and performance have turned a lot around.

With an average of 27+7+7 per game, he has also directly entered the top five in the MVP prediction list. If he can maintain this, he may really be able to get involved with Dabao as a second-year player.

However, he did not let go because of the small results in front of him. He knew his own abilities and the strengths of his team very well. Therefore, although he became more and more confident in front of the media, he could still maintain his confidence.

A rare humility for black players.

Achievements and honors are like fine wine. If you drink well and drink well, if you don’t drink too much, then there won’t be a big problem.

······

Mo Wen stood by the plane window, admiring the passing clouds outside the window, feeling a little regret rising in his heart.

Another missed opportunity for friendly communication with Youzhan.

After all, reality is not a copy. If you miss some games, you will miss them.

It's not that he has any prejudice or obsession with Youzhan...well, he just has some obsession.

He gets excited just by the battle between famous stars with names like this in history. He and Ajan were both from the 2003 class. Looking back, the media made a rearrangement of the 2003 class. In addition to comparing honors, the most intuitive thing is the data of the direct battle between the two.

and winning or losing.

Don't call it vulgar, people live for fame and fortune.

He is already sworn in with gambling and drugs, so he is not allowed to pursue other pursuits.

In the Gund Arena, the Cleveland fans who became more and more enthusiastic as the team won the victory welcomed their friends from afar with their high-pitched boos. Together with the biting north wind from Canada, it seemed that they were going to blow away Miami's fans in one breath.

flame.

The Cavaliers' excellent record did not disappoint James, but the fourth ranking in the Eastern Conference did disappoint Cleveland fans.

Especially the winning streak that the Cavaliers led the team to in the previous period really gave them hope.

Don't worry about A Zhan's technical flaws, let's just ask you whether the emperor's tendons can stand up to him or not, and whether they are hard or not!

If the Heat were complete, they would respect it for a while, but without the legendary "Bruce Mo", the Heat are nothing!

Just kidding, can Cricket Wade + the aging O'Neal compare to their powerful combination of the Emperor + Big Z?

Wade & O'Neal: Yes.

When it comes to breaking through to score goals and assisting teammates, Wade is a little worse than James, but when it comes to offensive threat, James' current tank breakthrough is not even a little bit worse than Wade's increasingly mature Mizunbu.

As for Big Z, who has high hopes from Cavaliers fans, he and the Cavaliers' Drew Gooden worked together this year to barely withstand O'Neal's earth-shaking destruction at the basket.

The two teams continued to fight until the middle of the fourth quarter, with the Heat still leading and suppressing the situation.

But Ajan and guard McGinnis made four consecutive three-pointers, allowing the Cavaliers to complete a last-minute comeback.

Although most people's impression of James is that he does not have three-pointers, in fact, starting from the second season of his career, Ajan has used three-pointers as a regular weapon.

He shot 35% this season and averaged 3.9 three-pointers per game. This kind of shooting rate and production are definitely qualified in this era. As for Lao Zhan's three-pointers, he has remained unchanged for 20 years.

That's another question

"War Stampede" is true, but it is also true that there are three options in his three threats.

Dafan was also helpless about this. The Heat's pitchers felt average today, especially in the second half. After Wade and O'Neal took more shots, Damon Jones felt better for a while in the middle, but Wade's ability and consciousness to distribute the ball were not good.

, failed to renew Damon Jones.

As a result, in the last quarter when they were fighting for their lives, they lost due to the Cavaliers' unlucky luck.

"I told you to practice more three-pointers. Although I don't think you have the talent in this area, you must be good at open shots, right? Look at those three-pointers you shot, you are helping LeBron.

Rebounding? I can be more accurate than you standing in the midfield!"

As a good brother, Mo Wenyou lovingly comforted Wade in the locker room.

"Shut up, you bastard, you didn't say Labor's three-point accuracy during training two days ago. Today, I'm just unlucky. Come back and let me find my touch, and I'll show you a three-pointer!"

Wade held his neck and argued unconvinced.

"No need, I will meet him personally in the next game."

Mo Wen clapped his fingers, his eyes flashing with excitement. What should he use to entertain A Zhan? Should he take out something new?

······

"Let us welcome the Kung Fu King of the new era, the talented point guard from China, Mo...WIN!!!"

In order to celebrate Mo Wen's comeback, O'Neal gave Mo Wen the chance to play the finale today. The home DJ shouted his nickname passionately, and the Heat fans also gave him the biggest cheers.

Fans from other areas outside have mixed reviews of Mo Wen. Some people think he is cool, a messenger of justice and a kung fu master who stands up for his teammates, while others think he is too violent and is an executioner or a villain.

But in Miami, no one who knew what happened would criticize Mo Wen's actions.

He was as beloved as Milicic in the Palace of Auburn Hills.

After playing, Mo Wen could even see many fans on the sidelines holding up photos of him knocking down Marbury, with the text "HERO" underneath.

A Zhan, who noticed this scene, glanced at Mo Wen with fear.

He knew that Mo Wen was dirty, and he even wanted to communicate with Mo Wen in other ways than basketball after suffering too many losses in previous matches.

But after Mo Wen and Malone played against each other, he stopped thinking about it. After watching the video of the match between Mo Wen and the Knicks some time ago, he was even more grateful for his previous restraint.

Losing is not a big deal. Who in the NBA doesn't lose more than a dozen games a season?

Like Mo Wen's teammates when he was with the Pistons, Ajan also felt that someone like Mo Wen who could dominate the world by force but was still willing to play by the rules was a good person.

The Cavaliers continued their starting lineup from the previous game: McGinnis, James, Pavlovic, Drew Gooden, Big Z;

The Heat restored the starting lineup from the previous winning streak: Wade, Mo Wen, Rasul, Haslem, and O'Fat;

O'Fatty pushed Big Z to get the basketball, and Mo Wen got the basketball. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Wade sneaking past him. Without saying a word, he made a fake pass, dazzling both Wade and James who were chasing him.

.

Taking advantage of the time when the Cavaliers' defensive front was not established, Mo Wen dribbled directly towards the basket and broke through. Drew Gooden saw Mo Wen's breakthrough and hurriedly came over from the wing, but Mo Wen also noticed his presence and single-handedly

Grabbing the ball with his hand, he pretended to pass it back to O'Neal. Taking advantage of Drew Gooden's hesitation, he bent his bow and arrow and threw the basketball gently.

Swish——

In Yangma's studio, Director Zhang smiled with satisfaction when he saw this scene:

"It seems that Mo Wen's recent state has not been affected by the suspension. Look at those fake moves he made in the middle. They are really sophisticated. Not to mention the defensive players, even his teammates on the same team can't react.

This is the perfect combination of golf intelligence and technology!

Mo Wen doesn't score many points because he pursues reasonable play. If you let him go, averaging 30 points per game shouldn't be a big problem."

Sun Zhengping's eyelids twitched next to him, "Brother, how dare you say that 30 points is a scoring champion in the NBA."

Turning around, James got the ball and started to advance quickly.

Dong... Dong... Dong...

Mo Wen knew that he couldn't let James increase his speed, so he kept a certain distance. While blocking the direction of James' movement, he tried to do something wrong with the basketball in James' hands.

The interference movement of forward overhand is no longer used in perimeter defense, so we can only work on interfering with the rhythm of dribbling.

As a star who participates in the All-Star voting as a point guard, James is still confident in his ability to handle the ball. Under the premise that Mo Wen cannot support his waist or pinch his flesh, he does not believe that Mo Wen can still provide

How much real disruption does he bring.

But what he didn't expect was that even if he didn't deal with his body, Mo Wen's hands were still as black and as ruthless.

Mo Wen can always use his footsteps, pre-judged positioning, and prediction of the basketball trajectory to cause great interference to his dribbling.

Mo Wen nearly knocked the ball out a few times and was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat.

After being forced to take two steps back one after another, James could only pass the ball without thinking.

Mo Wen sensed James' unwillingness to cut through for a sneak attack. Instead of using a hard top to restrict James, he adjusted his position to cut off the path for others to lob the ball to James.

Sure enough, McGinnis did not rush to attack after receiving the pass from James. After looking up and seeing James' hidden waving action, he understood and pretended to break through, but secretly was ready to pass the ball at any time.

The moment he saw James cutting inside, McGinnis instantly changed direction and pulled up, quickly passing the ball inside.

However, Mo Wen, who had been squatting for a long time, suddenly broke out and ruined this originally beautiful goal.

The Cavaliers players returned to defense quickly, especially James. His striding pursuit of defense prevented Mo Wen from hastily cooperating with Wade to test the limits of James' movement.

Second-year James's body is no longer something that Mo Wen can fix just by relying on experience.

The forehead lines between his eyebrows have fully exposed his precocious traits.

James, who saw Mo Wen slowing down, did not hesitate and directly planned to return to Mo Wen the means that Mo Wen had just imposed on him.

But his blind reaching out not only failed to cause much interference or pressure, but instead left his defense wide open. Mo Wen moved sideways twice and almost got rid of James.

But Mo Wen was not in a hurry to finish the shot, as this distance was not considered safe.

James, who almost lost the ball, didn't dare to reach out easily anymore. He just turned his body sideways and followed Mo Wen's footsteps. He didn't want to steal the ball, but just wanted to prevent Mo Wen from taking a shot easily.

But before James could take a breath, Mo Wen's broad arms and sharp elbows came to him.

"I'm sorry!"

The familiar pain almost made James explode. James wanted to fight back, but Mo Wen didn't want to take advantage of his stiffness in pain to test James. He made an axis with his left foot and turned with an elegant and silky turn like a ballet dancer.

Turned to the other side of James.

Take off with one foot on the ground, stretch your arms, raise your wrist to support the ball, and move the basketball with your four fingers up and down about one meter in front of the basket.

“Finger Roll?!”

When Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas watched the basketball slide smoothly into the net, a word popped into his mind unconsciously.

Hey, wait a minute, didn’t it mean that the fingertip basket was lost after George Gervin retired?

Most of the young fans only saw Mo Wen's elegant goal, while the old fans looked at Mo Wen with some disbelief.

It is not surprising that the pick-up can be said to be one of the basic layup movements, but the "fingertip pick-up" is different.

This technique, which requires a certain distance and looks like throwing but not throwing, is difficult to practice.

James recognized this move and looked at Mo Wen with some uncertainty.

"How did you do it? Luck?"

"Want to learn? I'll teach you."

Mo Wen grinned, showing his white teeth.

This hand was specially used by him to entertain James.
