basketball never sleeps

Chapter 167: Teammates offer sacrifices to heaven, with boundless magic power. (1)

After defeating the Pacers 4:2, the Heat could finally take a breather and take a break.

Considering the players' injuries, Riley changed the original training plan into a tactical class.

There are no new arrangements. The main purpose is to bring the players to the arena for supervision and avoid the situation where O'Fat and Wade were fooling around before the start of G3 in the semifinals.

In Riley's view, if they had not fooled around, G3 could have won, and their subsequent injuries might not have occurred.

After all, it is not particularly difficult to sweep the Pacers with the Heat's strength.

But because of their lack of self-discipline, they were injured and their playing condition was affected, and the team was wasted two more games.

If Mo Wen hadn't stepped up continuously, the Heat's series might have been in doubt.

4 triple-doubles in a series, two 20+ triple-doubles (G2, G5), one 30+ triple-double (G6), and one 50+ triple-double (G4) that shocked the ages.

Averaged 27.3 points, 11 assists, 9.3 rebounds, 3.2 steals, 0.8 blocks per game, shooting 49% from the field, 43% from the three-point range, and 92% from the free throw line.

"I sincerely thank him. Without Mark (Cuban), I wouldn't be where I am today. He allowed me to face up to the energy I have and made me understand that respect must be earned by myself."

As a last resort, Mo Wen could only spare half a day every day to accept exclusive interviews from various media after Huemann's careful selection.

Of the 12 people on the SuperSonics roster, 4 were clearly informed that they would not stay next season, and 2 had contracts that expired and the Sonics did not offer to renew.

There are too many people coming from the country.

Watching Nash and Dirk, two former golden partners, compete, he sat in his seat like a female teacher from an island nation incubating eggs, switching back and forth between current and vibration modes.

Ticket-grabbing software: Damn it, there’s something wrong!

And how strong was his defense in the year when he was the best defensively in the four years he played in the playoffs with the Mavericks?

0!

Negative!

"Three-point shot - the ball went in! 42 points!"

A certain wind child in the west is also killing everyone.

It stands to reason that a quasi-superstar can perform well in the playoffs, but if you look at his defensive contribution that year——

"With 4 minutes left in overtime, Nash still has a chance to hit Mo Wen's 50-point triple-double record!"

It's not that Ray Allen continues to be outstanding, but that the Sonics' role players have exploded in succession.

The time that should have been rested was filled with various schedules.

Not to mention the other minor ones, several important officials from the city came, but Yao Yao was still lying in Houston after surgery.

"Congratulations to Nash for becoming the second player to achieve a 40-point triple-double in the playoffs this season! He is also the fifth player in NBA history to achieve this achievement in the playoffs."

Of course, Mo Wen had nothing to do with the rest of the time.

132:127, the Suns won the game with a 5-point advantage.

The Mavericks once lost because of him, and now they still lose because of him.

"I think I need to appease my tired heart. I really can't imagine that when the playoffs enter the second round and the level of competition increases significantly, we may be able to see such crazy performances continuously."

Milicic also lived up to expectations. When his teammates were inaccurate in G6, he had a heated exchange with Duncan, whose athletic ability had deteriorated after plantar fasciitis, dragging the series into a tiebreaker.

Others who are 1.9 meters tall play mainly in the 1st position and guest star in the 2nd position.

The national team is joining in the fun, including Arab League who will enroll in school next year, Xue Yuyang who is preparing to return to the Nuggets (the Mavericks traded Xue Yuyang to the Nuggets after the draft), and Tang Zhengdong who is preparing to participate in this year's draft.

Nash mainly plays the blame position and guest-stars at the No. 1 position.

However, the discussion about the second round is not over.

Especially the topic about Mo Wen and Nash was frequently mentioned by major sports media.

Mr. Mo: Don’t you think you are very humorous?

···

As the Eastern Conference Finals approach, Miami becomes lively.

Sitting on the sidelines is torture.

Mo Wen originally wanted to take two days off, but interview invitations from various media were bombarding Heumann's cell phone almost around the clock, making it impossible for him to carry out much of his work.

Because the Sonics had never produced results before, the management made a plan to dismantle the team and rebuild around Milicic before the start of the playoffs.

In a life-and-death battle, Cuban, as the boss, cannot run away from the battlefield.

Compared with the miracles created by newcomers like Mo Wen who are still improving, it is even more incredible for Nash, a mature man in his thirties, to produce such data.

In the locker room, looking at Mo Wen's handsome face on the screen, Daben smiled evilly.

For a long time, once the Mavericks lost, unless Nash performed particularly well, their post-game meeting would set the tone.

At the post-game press conference, Nash not only expressed respect for his good brother Dirk, but also thanked Cuban.

In this era, Mowen's data is simply a dimensionality reduction blow to experts from all walks of life.

It would have been fine if Da Zhi had not gone out of his previous situation, but now they are still wrangling, so they can't help Mo Wen block these things.

"That kid is really rich. He doesn't even recognize his big brothers."

Ray Allen was fouled while defending Parker in the fourth quarter and came off the court with all fouls.

Mo Wen originally wanted to wait for the guys from Detroit to arrive, take them for a walk on the golden beach, take them across the water first, and see Miami's "defense line."

What is a magician's most impressive achievement?

In his rookie season, despite Kareem Abdul-Jabbar being injured, he scored 42+15+7 to lead the Lakers to the Finals and win the FMVP.

Don't ask why "good boy" Nash said such things. If he didn't have the fire in his heart, could he have exploded from beginning to end in this series?

Cuban never showed up after the game, but according to people familiar with the matter, the boss's office was renovated two days later.

After 5 minutes, overtime ends.

In the past, people described a point guard as being like a magician, which was somewhat of a boast.

Nash still failed to complete the feat of 50-point triple-double, but 45+13+13 was enough for him to carve his name into the history of the Mavericks.

After all kinds of entertainment, his face almost hardened with laughter.

In order to make a living in the future, these guys all showed great enthusiasm and helped the Sonics to delay Milicic's comeback.

Obviously not a stranger, but stranger than a stranger.

"It's okay. It's strange for a young man to keep a low profile even after making some achievements. If he doesn't act arrogant, how can we old guys teach him how to behave?"

Co-author What top point guards do is not magic, but magic!

Teammates offer sacrifices to the sky, and their magic power is boundless.

Some people have always said that Mo Wen's playing style is too soft and not tough enough, and he spends too much time hesitating when breaking through, just like Marbury's lone wolf.

Not bad, not bad, the team almost made it to the Western Conference Finals.

But he can win and score good statistics.

With Milicic suspended, the SuperSonics succeeded in betting on three-pointers in several games.

And he's not the only outlier.

If he hadn't left the Mavericks, he might even be known as "Benzema in Basketball".

The SuperSonics management secretly wiped their sweat.

The shooting percentage is as high as 55%, the three-point shooting percentage is 42%, and the free throw percentage is 96%. Not to mention the 180 Club, his total shooting percentage is higher than his height.

But everyone knows who the boo is for.

Unfortunately, facing the veteran Spurs, they were still one step behind.

At this point, the second round of the Eastern and Western Conferences has finally come to an end.

It's just a basketball game. Is it really that attractive?

In fact, in European and American countries, except for those cities with iconic industries, such as Los Angeles with Hollywood, San Francisco with Silicon Valley, and New York with Wall Street, the most representative business card of a city is the local sports club.

Coincidentally, in the past series, Nash and Mo Wen also broke out when their teammates were injured.

This guy is a magnet. He helps his opponents attract iron on the court, and helps his teammates off the court.

Mo Wen's statistics broke out after his teammates were absent in the fourth game, while Nash's second scoring point, Johnson, was injured and left the game halfway through the first game.

Past censure and past grievances have become the best fuel.

That is to say, there is no online ticket sales yet, otherwise——

Many people cannot understand how a sports event can boost a city's economy.

Mo Wen's performance in the second round of the playoffs not only conquered American fans, but also almost went crazy for Asian sports fans.

What was Nash's previous playoff performance with the Mavericks?

The best performance was 19.5+8.8 in 2001.

The domestic sports atmosphere is poor, and there is not much room for imagination. If you try to imagine it, it can probably be compared to Jay Chou holding an affordable concert in Shanghai.

The Suns defeated the Mavericks, while the Spurs also struggled to win from the SuperSonics after seven fierce games.

Dirk is not shooting well - let's shoot Nash!

Finlay's breakthrough is too soft - let's drive Nash!

There's something wrong with Nelson's tactics - let's start Nash!

It's fine if you win the game, but as long as you lose, you're right to play Nash.

Let everyone see clearly that the Mavericks' poor defense is really not his fault alone.

Back again, the defense was still the same, but they used an offense they had never seen before to blow the Mavericks upside down.

Otherwise, this team may not be able to be dismantled...

They were originally a group of young people with little playoff experience. A hot-blooded series had to have a protagonist with the talent to be passionate. Ray Allen was sent off and Milicic was watched to death by Duncan. Naturally, there was no surprise in the game that the Spurs lost.

Take it.

In the first five games between the Suns and the Mavericks, Nash averaged 30 points, 12 assists and 7 rebounds in 42 minutes per game.

As a result, they didn't even have a chance to meet before the game.

However, he is such a player who is fired every day.

After the game, the Dallas fans booed loudly.

Among other things, flights to Miami from major Asian airports have increased significantly this year.

So, the truth is out——

Amidst the roar of the on-site commentary, the noisy flight center seemed to have pressed the mute button, and everyone's eyes were focused on the man with long flowing hair in the stadium, who was exuding determination and confidence.

But these two people really did what the magician did again.

Billups stretched and used various stretching movements to stretch his muscles.

It has been eight days since the Pistons swept the Celtics 4:0. Compared with the exhausted Heat, they were much more relaxed.

If they don't play games anymore and rely on team training, they don't know if they can maintain their condition.

Sorry for being late. Last night I really felt like I was about to become an immortal. My body felt uncomfortable and my brain was still in a bottleneck period. It’s really hard to make money...
