Chapter 136 Old Guys

"The current score is quite unfavorable to the Nets. They must find a way to break the game. Kidd can no longer play fast breaks with the Heat. Mo's control of the rhythm during this period was too terrible. I can't remember it anymore."

There have been times where the Nets have suffered greatly from inadvertent tempo transitions."

"Many people think that Mo's previous assists were mostly due to the Heat's roster, and they always use his height and size to deny his position. But with O'Neal absent, we can really see his talent. What do you think?

How Kidd performed in front of Mo in the first half, I think it was inferior."

"With the help of Mo Ning, Mourning has regained his former demeanor. I think the Nets will now regret trading him and indirectly returning him to the Heat. Otherwise, the remaining inside players of the Heat are really not sure now.

Can withstand the impact of the Nets' troika."

The commentator on the sidelines was talking, but his voice did not reach very far because the cheers of the Heat fans were too loud.

There were too many doubts and negative opinions from the outside world before the game, which made the expectations of Heat fans very low.

They thought it would be great if the team could win with difficulty, but the Heat's methodical offense in the first half made them forget for a moment the fact that Ouyang was still recovering from his injury and was out.

The Nets players, who were still high-spirited when they came into the visiting team's locker room, were as silent as defeated roosters.

Coach Frank was still harping on defense and giving chicken soup to the players, but few people could listen.

Those who were on the field but not on the field, and the coaching staff who were silent all focused their attention on the bald man in the middle who was sipping light salt water.

In the past, under Kidd's leadership, they didn't know how to get ahead, but today they don't know how to lag behind.

Kidd pondered for a while, turned around and said: "Don't treat Mo as a second-year player. I feel that he has not shown his full strength. If I can win, no one will care about my choice. If I lose, I will do it."

No choice is wrong."

In this way, the Nets, who originally wanted to bring down the Heat, became the one being dragged down.

Kidd kept trying to change, including some "secret weapons" that were rarely used.

Unexpectedly, Mo Wen not only has a stable rhythm in the game, but also has a stable mentality.

After wiping his sweat with a towel, Kidd, who had recovered, began to discuss strategies for the second half with Frank.

There was a trace of disappointment in the veteran's eyes. He really wanted to dedicate himself on the court, but after calming down a little, he could understand that taking more rest now might be the right choice.

"Literally, you old guy won't retire just because you want to get a ring, right?" Mo Wen turned around and said in a frivolous tone.

But damn, he still couldn't control the pace of the game.

Before returning to the court from the locker room, Frank grabbed Kidd.

"Listen to Mo, Alonzo. The advantage now is enough for you to rest for another five minutes. As long as we win, we don't need to beat them by many points."

"If this is next year's finals, then I won't stop you, but it's only the first round now, and it's not the time for you to burn yourself. The championship is not about winning one game, but winning to the end!"

Before Mourning could react, Leitner next to him punched Mo Wen through Wade, "What the hell, show some respect, kid, you will get old one day."

Their three-pointers from the outside today were average. They took 8 shots in the first half and only hit 2. They only relied on attacking the basket. Even if the Heat's interior defense intensity dropped, they would not be very efficient.

Mo Ning subconsciously wanted to refute Mo Wen, but after seeing Mo Wen's deep gaze, his words stopped in his throat.

"It's no problem if you double-team Mo with Richard, but Damon Jones was also very accurate today. He scored three three-pointers in the first half. If you let him go, if you lose, you will

···”

Just as Iverson judged before the game, by halftime of the game, the so-called arrogance completely disappeared from the hearts of all Nets players.

Da Fan echoed from the side and pushed him back to his seat.

Although he was a little envious and jealous after Mo Wen and Nash scored double figures in assists, he still felt that he would definitely be able to get his own throne back when his body recovered.

It wasn't until Mo Wen and Mourning returned to the game after having enough rest that the Nets recovered the 4-point difference.

······

At the beginning of the second half, Kidd was not very happy to see Mo Wen sitting on the court and resting. Instead, his inner worries increased a bit.

I feel like I'm playing normally, but every time I play I'm 10 points behind.

The Nets wanted to equalize the point difference, so they played fiercely, but the Heat's zone defense did not have much effect.

He had already rested for 5 minutes in the first half, and he rested for so long in the middle. If he doesn't play, who will protect the Heat's inside line?

Laettner, who was in the same class as Mourning, has already confirmed that he will retire after this season and return to his family. Mo Wen seems to be trying to get rid of Mourning, but in fact it is him who is injured.

When Mourning heard that he was going to continue to rest, his head immediately started shaking like a rattle.

He also hoped that he could use his physical strength to fight all over the field to consume Mo Wen's physical energy, wait until the end, and then come back and win the game.

Nash is just a skinny chicken who only knows how to play fast breaks and eat the rest; and Mo Wen only got to where he is now by relying on the popularity of the league and the bonuses from his teammates.

Unlike the Nets, the Heat did not make any adjustments due to their advantage.

With the return of the Heat, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the game returned to the first half.

Kidd closed his eyes and recalled the scenes in the first half, feeling indescribably complicated.

Arrangements are still being made step by step according to the pre-game plan.

"We still have to play fast breaks in the second half, and we have to run. Only when we run can we have a chance. Vince, your task may be a little heavier later on. You can't defend alone, so Wade can only leave it to you. Reason.

Chad will go with me to restrain that kid later, or you will have to defend him. If necessary, I will go with you to flank him."

Many experts have also mentioned that although the competition between the two above for the assist title is very exciting, in fact the strongest and most comprehensive point guard in the league is Kidd.

Is he really old at 32 years old?

If he is not old, then why is the area he is best at - the rhythm of the game - taught a lesson by Mo Wen, a young man?

Things like the rhythm of the game sound very metaphysical, largely because it involves too many things, including the observation of the details of the players' positions, the analysis and preview of subsequent offense and defense, the judgment of the feasibility of the offense, and the

The mobilization of court resources, the psychological game of each other, etc...

All in all, people with a weak mind and a weak heart can't play this thing.

They gave up the tactic they planned before the game to block Wade and shifted their defensive focus to Mo Wen.

"What did you mean by... next year's championship?"

Da Fan is not just a loser. On the offensive end, he thinks he is not as good as Mo Wen. But when it comes to defense, he is not much worse than Larry Brown after receiving the true pass from Pat Riley.

The Heat's second unit under his command may not have any outstanding performance on the offensive end, but it is very resilient on the defensive end.

Take a break when it's time to take a break, that is, you will be beaten in the fourth quarter.

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, I forgot you were here."

Since Mo Wen's return, the Heat have maintained their suppression of the Nets.

Until the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, the two teams were still 10 points apart.

In the end, Frank could only change to the substitute and hand over the white flag under Kidd's aggrieved eyes.

Second-year player? Haha, that's bullshit.
