basketball never sleeps

Chapter 164 Injured three of the best defensive players

The game is over, but the night is still long.

They lost what was supposed to be a "must-win" game, and humiliatingly allowed their opponent's top three players to set an unprecedented triple-double record in the playoffs.

Both players and fans were filled with bitterness.

In front of the camera, there was a little boy wearing a Miller jersey. He covered his eyes with his hands, took them off - shook his head - covered them again - took them off again. He repeated this countless times before his eyes started to bleed.

Tears fell into the arms of his father next to him.

No one can accept and no one could have imagined that today's game would end in this way.

They don't understand that the Heat have obviously given up two stars who averaged a combined 47 points per game. Why! Why?

The big screen in the stadium showed the answer.

Played 41 minutes, made 18 of 29 shots, 9 of 13 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws.

52 points, 13 rebounds, 15 assists, 4 steals, 1 block.

Is this data scary?

"At first I thought he was just joking, but hell, look at his performance today, I highly doubt he is telling the truth!"

Getting a triple-double proves a player's versatility, while scoring 50 points proves a player's dominance.

Pacers fans didn't dare to close their eyes after watching this game, because as soon as they closed their eyes, Mo Wen's figure in the game would appear in their minds.

"The opponent you most want to see in the Eastern Conference Finals? Detroit, you know why."

Various congratulatory text messages and incoming phone calls disrupted Mo Wen's rest plan.

“···”

In Detroit, Billups's phone rang again as he was about to go to sleep. He glanced at the number and sighed helplessly.

50+triple doubles···

That's probably all-round dominance.

···

Mo Wen said this was just an ordinary playoff game, but after actually reaching the second round of the playoffs, the attention of the game will soar sharply.

"Our goal is the championship, so although I am very happy, in the end this game is just an ordinary victory. As long as I can win the game with 50+ triple-doubles and 20+ triple-doubles, it makes no difference to me."

"No problem, I'm resting anyway, so I have plenty of time to sign autographs. Do you have any more? Take them out together." Wade patted his chest and said boldly.

Seeing the excited Heat players throwing Mo Wen into the sky, the Pacers fans wanted to boo, but their voices were stuck in their throats.

Barkley's "super giant" theory in the first quarter almost perfectly predicted Mo Wen's subsequent performance, and added a bit of a legendary feel to this ordinary playoff game.

James pointed one by one.

Just like when Jordan handed the winning ball to Cole in the 1997 Finals.

"This is the third time you've called me!" Billups, his daughter who should have fallen asleep after thinking about it, couldn't yell out.

Maybe he saw Mo Wen's fatigue. After all, he made nearly 30 shots, 15 assists, and 13 rebounds. These are not statistics that can be obtained while standing. Da Fan next to him took the initiative to help Mo Wen share the firepower.

"I told him: Son, you can't do this, you should be tougher and fight inside. - Do you know what he said?"

Highlight a shame and pain.

"He has grown into a 50-point triple-double in the playoffs, so I have to prepare a generous gift for him."

Wade had just taken out the jersey in his handbag to ask for an autograph, and fell into deep thought again when he saw the bag James was pointing to.

From stopping the Pacers at 10:0 in the opening half, leading the Heat to continue to suppress the Pacers in the half, to a triple-double with 40 points in the third quarter, and then to a 50+ triple-double in the final quarter to complete the buzzer-beating game at the same time.

"Those two bags are full of their jerseys?"

[The Spear of Longinus: The spear that stabbed Jesus in the ribs. Legend has it that as long as you hold this spear, everyone within a hundred and twenty feet will surrender. ]

"Yeah, we couldn't guard Mo. There's a monster on the court. I don't know what else he can't do. I've never seen a player play like him. Normal defensive strategies are on him.

If it fails in front of you, he is the Spear of Longinus."

"Hahaha, I know, I didn't bring anything with me. Here, this is for you. Cleveland doesn't have many products, but these two bottles of the winery's special red wine are still worth collecting."

Taking a step back, only three people have achieved a 40+ triple-double in the playoffs, namely Logo Man (42+13+12 in the finals that made him the only loser in history to win the FMVP), Big O, and Barkley.

.

And as O'Pang's playing time ran out, the offensive burden once again fell on Mo Wen.

Is it necessary? It is necessary... to... Fak.

He pointed at the satchel that was twice as big as the handbag in his hand, then looked at the travel bag that was four times as big as him, and asked uncertainly:

Damon Jones frankly told the inside story behind the buzzer beater in the post-game interview.

Many fans beat their chests and beat their feet after hearing the news, regretting that they could not witness this game.

But Wade really wanted to force his comeback. It's not that he was jealous of Mo Wen's super statistics. The main reason was that he felt that if Mo Wen was to be super good for two more games, his and Ao Pang's status would both fall.

Although he is the Heat's best performer in the regular season, he is still criticized by outsiders for some reason. I don't know why O'Pang and Mo Wengao have never been there.

The outstanding performance of Mo Wen and the comeback of O'Pang made the fans full of confidence. Just like the Pacers fans who played in the last game, they firmly believed that the team would definitely win this game and easily advance to the Eastern Conference finals.

But the situation of several pitchers' shots being lost did not improve in the second half.

As a loyal home fan, all the images in my mind are of the away players...

···

After returning to Miami, Mo Wen took two days off during his three-day break.

"Fake!"

What, it was Damon Jones who made the game-winning shot?

"Have the Heat encountered an injury wave? We have also encountered one. You should be able to see that before the game we injured three of the best defensive players: Artest, Wade and O'Neal."

Mo Wen completely strangled the walker to death with his own power.

Mo Wen's physical strength was barely restored by deep sleep, but the Pacers did not show signs of failure during this period, and found many projects that could lead to revenge.

Although they only lost by 1 point in the last game, they suffered a big loss.

He also obeyed the big plan, didn't he just lead the team to win a ball and get a triple-double... and scored 52 points by the way? Is there any need to make such a fuss?

"He said: Coach, if I play as hard as Wade, you might be out of a job!"

"Have they all asked?" The person on the other end of the phone scratched his head.

"Hahaha, my reporter friends, please don't broadcast this, otherwise I may really lose my job."

Everything is planned.

So he told me to wait in that spot to catch the ball and shoot, and he would take care of everything for me, take the defender away, and all I had to do was shoot the damn basketball, and as you can see, Mo's tactic worked, and so did I

Did it!”

In the past decades of NBA history, a 50+ triple-double has never appeared in the playoffs.

Compared with the relaxed and happy side of the Heat, Carlisle is not so relaxed.

"To be honest, I knew his scoring potential, or more specifically his strength, before he scored 50 in the regular season game against the Suns."

The first half of G5 was okay. After realizing that his teammates were not shooting accurately, Mo Wen and O'Pang cooperated. Relying on smooth offensive choices, Mo Wen and O'Pang still helped the Heat stabilize the score and achieve a certain level.

advantages.

The coach does not arrange tactics at the last moment and hands the ball to the core. The core has the right to distribute the basketball reasonably. But the problem is that some people can count the reasonable number of times with one hand, and some people can count the reasonable number of times with both hands.

The reasonable number of moves for some people is... really thousands of moves?

"yes?"

"I noticed Mo last year when he was a substitute for the Pistons, and I had a headache because of him for a long time. But after this year's game, oh... can we change the topic?"

"Record? Yes, I'm very happy to be able to set a record. It means that I finally have the ability to doodle on the NBA ledger, haha, but what makes me even happier is that we won this game."

"Okay, there are still some differences. 50+ triple-doubles are obviously more tiring. If you were to give me a magic lamp now, I would probably make a wish for Dwyane and Shaq to recover from their injuries quickly... Ha - ow~,

Well, I don’t want them to recover now, so please turn me into a bed first!”

Every time those media outlets praise Mo Wen, they are based on stepping on their heads.

Similar to the diagnosis result in Indianapolis, O'Brien was able to play in G5 after simple treatment and medication. However, in order not to affect subsequent recovery, Wade had better not play before G7 or the end of this series.

And his method of sharing firepower is also quite simple, that is - blow!

···

Before the interview, Mo Wen, who couldn't escape the interview, had a faint smile and tiredness on his face. He was not particularly excited or had a strong desire to express himself.

"That ball was arranged by Mo. He didn't want to play overtime, but he knew the Pacers would defend his three-pointer at all costs.

Mo Wen's cell phone exploded again.

These are all tactical arrangements made in advance during the pause.

May 17.

However, this year’s Feng Shui doesn’t seem to be suitable for early celebrations.

"Now you know why the Heat are so strong this year, right? We have three guys on the bench who are capable of competing for the scoring title. You tell me, how can we not succeed?"

Wade and Ao Pang also went to the local hospital for examination and treatment during this period.

For NBA insiders, this data definitely shocks them more than it shocks the players.

"It's just that this guy is too lazy. Compared with showing his strength on the court, he prefers to spend his energy in the gym to train his damn abdominal muscles, and then leaves the hard work to Shaq and Dwyer on the court.

If you do it, I will hide behind and enjoy the results."

G5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals officially begins at the American Airlines Arena.

"It's a pity that I'm still injured, otherwise I would have had two drinks with you tonight." After Wade took the gift box from Ajan's hand, he saw that he also had a gift bag in his hand and took it too.

Dian, I feel a little light. "Why do you still bring so many clothes when you go out? Why don't you just come here and buy them?"

"After watching the game, I'm not as good as him. There's nothing I can do. Do you have anything else to ask?"

"Oh, that's not what I'm wearing, but what I asked you to sign for. My buddy opened a clothing store. Please help me collect the signatures of the stars." Ajan said straightforwardly without any embarrassment.

expressed his demands.

A 50+ triple-double in a game would shock the league even in the regular season, let alone in the playoffs where superstars are tempered.

"Go to rest early. We have to send the Celtics away tomorrow. This kid is jumping like this, so let's not let him down." Billups hung up the phone and then directly chose to turn off the phone.

fear.

They must have been frustrated after losing, but then they fought back with their unconvinced spirit.

"Oh, why are you here? Why are you bringing so many gifts? You guys, you don't have to be so polite." Wade welcomed James and his wife, who were packed with bags, into his home with a smile on their face.

"No, that's all. The bag over there needs Shaq's help. The bag at the door just now needs Mo's help."

Fortunately, Riley arranged the overnight flight, allowing Mo Wen to enjoy a peaceful journey.

O'Brien is okay, he has already proven himself and has already won the Grand Slam. Wade, on the other hand, has performed well, but has never had a masterpiece.

But what's more terrifying than the cold statistics is Mo Wen's perfect performance on the court.

They had planned a lot of routines for Mo Wen, but Mo Wen's teammates were not accurate. In addition, they were resolute in defense today, and the offensive and defensive situation suddenly changed.

The players were hesitating one by one, and the pressure was all on his shoulders.

Because they know very well how difficult it is.

There was a generation gap in Austria and he was not a pure dog thief. Wade, who was depressed and had no one to talk to, turned his attention to his "good brother" in the north.

At the end of the game, the Pacers had a slight advantage of 2 points and unexpectedly won the Heat with difficulty.

Mo Wen also didn't expect that he would have to return to this ghost place after two days.

But this time, Wade and O'Pang, who had made a brief comeback, and with the cooperation of Mo Wen, once again took the lead in the first three quarters.

Code in the early morning, dead end...
