basketball never sleeps

Chapter 115: Calling brothers is just a joke

The Spring Festival game is on February 9th, and the Heat have three games before that.

The Heat, who wanted to have another winning streak, were unable to continue the state they had at the end of last month. In February, they almost overturned in their first game against the young Bulls.

The Bulls' shooting is not very good, unlike the three-point teams that have caused trouble for the Heat before, they can compete with the Heat with precise shooting and efficiency.

After winning easily against the Heat last time, Bulls head coach Skiles adopted the simplest tactics this time to lead the team to fight the Heat to the end.

Just rush!

The Bulls, whose average starting age is only 22 years old, pushed the talent and energy of their youth to the limit in this game.

Their skills are rough, and their defensive end is not at all like a playoff team, but it is undeniable that their talent is one of the best in the league.

This group of stupid young men relied on their impact and movement style without considering their physical strength, and they were able to compete with the powerful Heat.

It is now seven years since Jordan retired from the Bulls, but in the previous six seasons, the Bulls only won 123 games.

On average, they only win 20 games a season.

Under such crazy performance, the rewards are also considerable. The Bulls have successfully accumulated a large number of talented players——

"Have you been to T-mac's house?"

Previously, Milicic had integrated into the Pistons' player team with the help of Mo Wen, but the situation for the two international players Radmanovic and Potapenko was not so comfortable.

Mo Wen reflected and became alert, but in the following back-to-back games against the Wizards, the Heat had no choice but to hand over their sixth defeat of the season.

The Heat's schedule was stumbling, and the Rockets' performance in the Spring Festival match against another protagonist was even worse.

After running a whole game with the Bulls in the last game, the Heat's main players were very physically exhausted.

But this also reminded him that those who are good at swimming will drown, and those who are good at riding will fall.

Hinrich is not the kind of player who has an arrogant personality and likes to hype up. He worked hard into the game and struggled with Mo Wen from beginning to end.

But if it's just about his troubles, it's fine. The Pistons also did a good job defending others.

The two teams were tied and the game was dragged into the second overtime.

"How the hell do you, a third-in-command, understand this?" Although Yao Ming thought Mo Wen was talking nonsense, many of Mo Wen's words before him had been fulfilled, and he didn't give any face to him.

The real game is not a card battle or a gold-earning game. The performance of strong and weak players is closely related to their attitude.

"Why do you have so many questions? I must have invited them to my house for dinner, but what you said...your Uncle Yao just stayed at home when he had nothing to do. I wouldn't dare to lend me your courage."

As a white player who plays with his brain, he used the home whistle to trick Mo Wen into committing three fouls in the first half, which successfully reduced Mo Wen's space on the defensive end and allowed Wade to mock Mo Wen in the midfield.

A long time.

The highest scorer in this game was not the Heat's Trident, but Damon Jones' 32 points.

This summer's Olympic trip not only brought Yao a bronze medal, but also taught him that compromise is not the only option.

The two struggled to give in to each other, and the team's tactics could not be opened up. They could only take turns to get the ball and throw it at each other. The ability to throw the ball at the Rockets' current 50-50 win rate is also a reflection of their strength.

Dayao did not agree to sacrifice, and Tracy McGrady did not want to change his style of play. Fan Tu was paralyzed. He was not good at handling player relations and his tactical ability was mediocre, which led to him being very blunt in mediating the issue of ball rights.

It's a pity that he took a fancy to it but it didn't work. The Lakers management also took a fancy to it. If Kobe really wanted to come to the Bulls, these talented players would also have to report to the Lakers as bargaining chips. Kobe's change of team basically means that he has not changed, and his teammates may even become different because of it.

Even worse, it was nothing in the end.

Looking at the calm mirror-like Wense Lake in front of him, Mo Wen yawned.

"Without O'Neal's dominance, Duncan's skills, Dirk's boss, and Ben's character, you just need to put some thought into it... You don't have to please anyone, but if you want to be a big boss, you have to further integrate into the culture.

.”

"Then do you know who's address is on your team?" Mo Wen continued to ask.

Who would be willing to be a green leaf if they have the chance to be a red flower? (Yao Yao once said that Tracy McGrady is a red flower and he is a green leaf)

Dayao is a little softer, but he doesn't have no ambition at all.

······

After landing at the Houston airport, it was normal at first, but since entering the main city of Houston, Mo Wen noticed a lot of Chinese elements on the streets, especially as the bus drove closer to Toyota Arena.

, Mo Wen also vaguely heard the sound of gongs and drums.

After Milicic was traded away, Larry Brown became more comfortable, the environment in the locker room became less embarrassing, and the Pistons' record began to pick up. Recently, they had a 5-game winning streak and returned to the top of the small division.

It seems that I have regained the feeling of winning.

Don't underestimate role players. Anyone who can stay in the NBA has two skills.

Hinrich, who faced off against Mo Wen, performed at a superb level today. As the seventh overall pick in the 2003 class, he was the first rookie to get a triple-double. Last year, he was rated as the best point guard in the 2003 class. He received

He received countless praises, but after Mo Wen switched to point guard this year, suddenly few people mentioned him.

Mo Wen tried to trust Wade, who had better physical strength, but he didn't want Wade to act like a human in regular time and miss three consecutive shots at the critical moment.

When the bus arrived at the prearranged hotel, a dragon dance team also passed by on the road next to the hotel.

"This place in your house is really quiet, but it lacks a bit of fireworks. It needs to be lively and atmospheric in the city."

Wade's body was meant to be stronger than Arenas, but his shot seemed to be blocked today. Except for layups under the basket, he was not accurate a little further from the basket. He only scored 22 points on 19 shots.

, the efficiency is far worse than usual.

Eddy Curry, Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Tyson Chandler...

They are all talented monsters in the draft, and the most important thing is that these talented monsters have more or less fulfilled their talents.

"My home is not far from Shaq's home. It's only half an hour to Dwyane's home. Haslem is a little further away, only 40 minutes; Rasul lives in a garden villa in the city; Kenyon lives next to the arena.

Among the apartments... Speaking of which, the one with the best location is the Shaq family's mansion. It looks out of the way but is close to everything."

After arriving at the hotel and settling in for a while, Mo Wen did not rest with the team, but called Dayao, called Dayao, and then took a taxi to Dayao's villa.

Later, Kobe disliked the Lakers for not finding suitable helpers for him, and proposed a trade to come to the Bulls. In addition to wanting to further succeed Joe as the leader, he also took a fancy to the talents of these young men.

But this time it was not Mo Wen or Wade who saved the Heat, but Damon Jones, the "leading shooter in the universe."

Arenas had no clue today. The team took the lead at the beginning and saw the hope of victory. He stayed calm and followed the coach's instructions to face Wade seriously throughout the game.

"Shaq held parties in his mansion until his neighbors sued him. Wade also entertained guests at nightclubs. I don't like to mess around, but I usually go to a few people on the team who like boxing.

Guys go to the boxing gym to work out together..."

"I've never been there." Dayao was stunned for a moment and said.

Dayao, who had previously scored 50 points, showed his confidence. He did not surrender to others like in his previous life, but actively fought for the ball with McGrady.

"Hell, Texas will one day accept foreign holidays." O'Neal muttered on the bus.

They have lost 6 of their last 10 games.

In the end, the Heat won the game with a slight advantage of 2 points.

Mo Wen's willingness to make sacrifices was based on the fact that he had the ball and could guarantee his own data. Wade also made concessions and gave up the right to control the ball and did not let Mo Wen make a unilateral contribution.

Mo Wen is nominally the Heat's third-leading player, but his ball usage rate is the highest among the Heat.

There is no such thing as calling each other brothers and sisters, but it's just a joke.

Larry Brown's defense arrangement is quite good. He adjusted the strategy of arranging Caron Butler or Prince to defend Mo Wen based on the Heat's different lineups, which indeed caused a lot of trouble for Mo Wen.

Dayao showed a wry smile with an emoticon.

"This...I remember Fred's home, but unfortunately he moved away. Mobley also took me to his home, but he is now playing in Oakland and I heard he is selling his house. I have heard that Jim lives in the community. But I don’t have a U.S. driver’s license, so I haven’t been there yet...Other staff come and go. They usually only say a few words in the team, and there isn’t much communication after get off work. Besides, the players all leave their home addresses, so they don’t Hard to find.”

Radmanovic, who uses shooting as his main offensive method, is not as good as Milicic in confrontation, and now he has become Larry Brown's new "trash can", while Potapenko's speed is too slow, and he can't stand up to O'Brien.

He is still useful as a heavy center. At other times, he is just a wooden stake on the court. He cannot fit in with the Pistons' zone defense lineup at all. Lokomotiv Ukraine cannot adapt to the busy traffic of the Motor City.

If the Pistons' defense can't find a breakthrough and just relies on slowly grinding away to take the lead, in addition to the physical test, it will also undergo mental torture.

Fortunately, Billups also made a mistake along with Wade, and failed to hit a three-pointer in the last 7 seconds.

To put it nicely, let him be the defensive leader, but to be honest, it means letting him do the dirty work...

As he spoke, Dayao seemed to realize something.

To break the opponent's will to resist, inconspicuous defense is actually more effective than a three-pointer that is so accurate later that people's scalp goes numb.

Well, Dayao will be able to learn this kind of thing in the future, but when Dayao learned these things in his previous life, he almost didn’t need them anymore...

The two of them walked along the lake and talked a lot.

Today, the United States has similar laws. People with criminal records are not prohibited from using guns, but they are prohibited from possessing body armor...

First overtime.

Fortunately, the Heat players' physical strength was replenished after a day's rest. After a sour offensive and defensive battle, the two teams tied at 92:92 in regular time.

Mo Wen originally wanted to give Larry Brown another show, but no, the Pistons did a good job of blocking his research today.

"I climbed from the sixth person to the third master. I know better than you, who had the chance to be the master, but now has to work hard to fight for it." Mo Wen looked at Dayao and there was no doubt in his eyes.

Continue to explain.

It's just that Xiao Fan's claws are numb, and the "big orange as the priority" that used to be invincible no longer works for Yao Ming. Yao had seen how Mo Wen handled the "overall situation" of the team during the Olympics.

He doesn't have the strength to relax casually yet.

Potapenko, who only got the opportunity to play because of Opp, returned favor with a backhand, arched when he could, and fouled when he couldn't.

Mo Wen 82's physical attributes are still a bit poor. He didn't exert much strength during regular time today. During the second overtime, he relied entirely on willpower to mobilize his body.

The crazy performance of 30 minutes in the half made the Pistons coaching staff realize that they had never really understood the former hero of the championship, so since the game, Mo Wen has entered the Pistons team's key observation list.

Even the local media in Chicago don't think Hinrich can be compared with Mo Wen. Fortunately, Mo Wen is not a rookie, otherwise his draft position would have to be discussed again.

This little man who usually doesn't play much of the game made 3 of 4 three-pointers in the second overtime and caused Hamilton to foul. He scored 11 points.

Mo Wen, who took over the team's offensive banner, scored a near-triple-double with 27 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds. However, his teammates were in average condition and he could not fill such a big gap.

But why did he want a poor countryman who was not even his friend to make a sacrifice?

If there are fans who watched football from that era, they will know that the relationship between Tracy McGrady and Dayao is not as close as the media promotes. Compared with the friendship between brothers, the relationship between the two is more that of colleagues.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, Mo Wen also suffers from the "end-of-year syndrome" and his concentration is not as concentrated as usual, so he is attacked so suddenly.

But it's not that there are no discordant voices at all. The two white insiders who were traded did not have such a happy life.

After losing this game, the Heat didn't have time to reflect on the game. One day later, they faced the challenge of the Pistons.

Especially O'Pan. In the last game, he felt some discomfort in his left thigh after a whole game with the 135-kg "Baby Shark" Eddy Curry. Although he insisted on playing today, his speed on both offense and defense was slower than before.

Quite a lot, by the end of the game he only contributed 17 points and 8 rebounds.

Dayao kicked a pebble under his feet into the lake, breaking this beautiful scene.

Don't think that the two of them have a good relationship because they will always have friendly interactions such as "tacit high-fives" and "passionate hugs" when they play a good game or win a game. You must know that last season O'Neal

Even though they were incompatible with Kobe, they still hugged each other like good brothers when they won.

"Have you ever had a party at home?" Mo Wen glanced at him.

When Wade faced the liberated Ben or Wallace, his breakthrough was not as sharp as before.

However, the Rockets coaching staff asking Dayao to sacrifice is simply to reduce his offensive status and let him perform on the defensive end.

Whether it was scoring data, shooting percentage, or high-level offensive and defensive contributions, he was completely blown away by Mo Wen.

"You haven't bought a house in downtown Miami, so why are you so embarrassed to tell me?"

Just like in ancient times, the imperial court's control over cold weapons and bows and arrows was generally not that strict, but concealing armor privately was a serious crime - one armor carries three crossbows, and three armors go to the underworld.

Mo Wenruo said pointedly.

In Dayao's small villa, dumplings have been placed on the entire table, but it is not enough.

Not counting children, there were nearly ten people.

Dayao's parents, Mo Wen's cousin's family, and even Dayao's wife and children were allowed to return to the United States to reunite with him.

At noon, a circle of people watched the TV, eating dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala broadcast on the international channel. As the countdown ended and the bell rang, the new year came.
