basketball never sleeps

Chapter 169 The powder keg that almost exploded

Looking at Mo Wen falling from the basket, Larry Brown took a deep breath and loudly yelled at the Pistons players to defend well.

"Are you sleeping? The game has begun, idiots!"

Mo Wen was asked to dunk on the first ball, which he couldn't accept.

···

"Coach Brown, Mo Wen scored a 50-point triple-double today. Can you tell me what you think?"

"Coach Brown, Milicic got a double-double in Duncan's defense, what do you want to say?"

"Coach Brown, the two rookie players who were underestimated before have performed at star or even superstar levels in the playoffs. Do you think they didn't perform well in the Pistons because of your personnel problems?"

As an old man who likes to maintain his wise and gentleman persona in front of the public, Larry Brown's life was not easy during this period.

His conflicts with Mo Wen and Milicic are no longer a secret.

Brother Mo likes to be real and talk too much, so after winning against the Pistons he rarely mentioned the conflict between him and Larry Brown, but Milicic, a young man, can't keep his mouth shut. In Seattle

After a little bit of performance, he would reveal some "distorted facts" from time to time.

For example: Larry Brown's unlimited personal attacks; blaming tactical mistakes on the players' poor execution, and then adjusting the tactics themselves to be backward compatible with the players' abilities; players adjusted their defensive strategies on the spot based on the situation on the spot.

, even if you succeed, you will still be scolded afterwards...

Larry Brown didn't pay much attention to these "rumors" at first. Compared with Mo Wen's murderous actions, this is nothing.

but···

This doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

I almost exploded when I was provoked by Da Ben so unintentionally.

However, as Mo Wen and Milicic played better and better, Mo Wen soared into the sky in the playoffs, and he was forced to succumb to the situation. The matter of overqualification and underutilization was once again cited by the major media.

If Mo Wen plays without the ball, it shouldn't be anything to do with him, right?

Milicic's position doesn't even qualify him to respond.

Swish——

However, correspondingly, without the ball, Mo Wen could not display his organizational skills, and Wade's passing was still far from genius level.

"Don't touch me, bitch!"

Generally speaking, if there is no Tianwangshan or tiebreaker, the first game of each series will attract the most attention.

But he didn't expect that this guy would knock off his arm as soon as he stood firm.

Kobe also has the ability to use his weight and strength to beat him, but he rarely forces his opponent.

In the regular season last year, his shooting percentage at the basket was only 47%, and his overall shooting percentage (39.4%) was only 0.6% higher than his three-point shooting percentage (38.8%)!

After all, Billups is very confident about his success rate in singles. It does not mean that his skills are not good enough. His success rate in breakthroughs is not low, but after he breaks through, he may not be able to make strong shots from beyond the three-point line.

During the Heat's offensive round, Hamilton smiled after seeing Mo Wen hand the ball to Wade again.

The backboard was protected by O'Pang, but the unwilling Ben did not give up the fight for the basketball. Before O'Pang could raise his elbow, he slapped the basketball at the same height as O'Pang's head.

It's just that he has some strength and good luck and got into a good team to achieve some results. He has seen too many young people like this.

Blocking between the two of them with flesh and blood.

Moreover, as the coach who has changed teams the most in the NBA, he has suffered a lot of criticism.

Because he didn't want to see Mo Wen playing and holding the ball.

The crisp slap sound echoed through half the stadium.

After landing, Mo Wen saw that Hamilton had not regained his balance and went over to help him.

After a hidden elbow-to-elbow collision, the victorious Mo Wen pushed Hamilton away, jumped into the air with one foot, and picked the ball out with smooth and silky swings like an elegant swan with his arms grabbing the ball.

During the regular season, when the Heat came off the court in the second and third quarters, Mo Wen and Wade basically took turns holding the ball, so this was not an unfamiliar style of play.

But the Pistons players, who were used to it, were not very nervous.

"I admit that I was wrong before. Mo is a smart young man. Of course, he is just a little smart. He does not understand the true meaning of a team."

Fortunately, the referee worked hard enough and everyone from the Heat arrived in time, and they worked together to stop O'Fatty and calm him down.

In last season's finals, if he hadn't met Payton Sr. and Fisher, two experienced players whose athletic ability is in the lower reaches of the same position, allowing him to reach the 180 club, the FMVP might have gone to Hamilton.

Even if he is black, comes from a sports family, and has relatively high muscle density, there is no way to avoid the absolute weight disadvantage.

From a data perspective, this style of play can maximize the offensive capabilities of Wade and Mo Wen. Wade with the ball can maximize his physical talents, and Mo Wen without the ball can also reduce confrontation.

, tearing apart the opponent's defense with his ghostly movement.

Fortunately, the referee stopped it in time.

Bending the bow - nocking an arrow.

Needless to say, the guys from the Pistons are still as brave as ever. They dared to provoke him even though they knew he had such an explosive performance in the second round.

In order to maintain speed and flexibility, Hamilton weighs only 87 kilograms at the same height of 198cm as Mo Wen.

As for Prince?

He is willing to provide any support except practical help.

He has played in the NBA for nearly 10 years and been a head coach for 30 years.

Perhaps because his shooting motion was not graceful enough, the basket rejected the basketball.

Rasul, who was chasing after him, was a step slower, but barely managed to close his eye before Hamilton shot.

After completing the shot, Hamilton raised his hands and pointed at Mo Wen from a distance.

Do you really think you have no temper? If you dare to do this next time, labor and management will pull you down even with a technical foul.

Mo Wen couldn't hear his voice, otherwise he would have to be reasonable, "I helped you find your balance, why are you dragging someone else along?"

Ao Pang was stunned at first, but after he regained consciousness, his anger suddenly surged up.

He did it on purpose.

After many twists and turns, basketball came into the hands of the most reliable Hamilton.

When the referee saw something was wrong, he rushed over with the linesman.

Everyone in the Pistons' starting five has strong individual defense capabilities - except for Hamilton.

After changing sides, the Pistons attacked again. Because they took a little time to pick up the ball, it fell into position. Billups did not take the initiative to attack again this time and distributed the ball to his teammates.

Mo Wen raised his eyebrows, becoming interested.

As their offensive threats increase, the Heat's overall integrity will also weaken.

At the same time, he repeatedly warned both sides not to cause trouble.

"Performing super statistics? Hehe, you don't think that a player's possession of the ball reaches 50%, which is a good thing for the team, right?"

But Mo Wen was different. In several games between the Pistons and the Heat in the regular season, he would either pick-and-roll and change positions and chase him, or pass the ball to Wade who was running without the ball and force him to switch defenses, or chase him.

As long as his shooting is as good as Marbury's, the "point guard god" may not be as good as Grandpa St. Paul.

This action was what Hamilton would do after he hit a hit while he was guarding the Pistons.

Look at what Iverson is like now without him?

Averaging 30+10 per game can’t make it to the second round!

That is to say, there is Riley on the outside and O'Neal on the inside protecting him. Otherwise, Mo Wen is just a loser?

Snap——

By the time Ben realized it was a fake pass, Mo Wen had already taken two steps and squeezed Hamilton into the penalty area on the right.

I haven't seen him in four regular season games, and he almost forgot about it.

Dogs are real dogs.

Swish——

Mo Wen? What is a little Oriental guy?

Does a twenty-year-old kid understand basketball?

He knows that the NBA is estimated to last no more than 5 years.

The roar came from the sidelines again.

When he realized that he had slapped the wrong guy, he didn't have time to apologize, so he slapped him with a fat elbow.

O'Pang has been troubled by injuries during this period, and the injuries have affected his performance on the court, causing him to be questioned a lot. In addition, his wife almost gave birth prematurely due to some accidents recently.

He was in a pretty bad mood at the time.

One person is not enough, two people must work together.

Last year when he was with the Pistons, Mo Wen could beat him with only 100 kilograms of weight. This year, although Mo Wen lost weight to 95 kilograms, his strength has also improved at the same time.

Billups, who had been observing everything with his peripheral vision, timely distributed the ball to the side and behind.

The first two rounds were beaten by continuous strong blows, which made Larry Brown quite dissatisfied.

Daben tried his best to avoid it, but still missed a side, and then he threw himself to the side.

If you play without the ball, you will play without the ball. If you keep coming, it won’t be over, right?

"But you have to know that no matter how powerful an individual player is, he cannot withstand a team. What a team needs is a firm executor, rather than someone who puts himself above the system with a little cleverness."

It's your turn to perform, my little understudy.

The referee was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He was afraid that the conflict would escalate, so he directly gave one person on both sides, a first-level criminal, 50 blows each.

It even once affected his negotiation of a big contract with the Knicks, forcing him to stand up and respond.

Touching his numb arm, Hamilton looked at Mo Wen with resentment.

For a zone defense team like the Pistons, they are not afraid of your stars becoming outstanding, but they are afraid of your collective explosion.

They continued to attack at their usual pace.

These words are not arrogant, he just firmly believes that he is right.

In today's game, Larry Brown originally planned tactics against Mo Wen, but Mo Wen suddenly changed to playing without the ball, which caught him off guard.

Billups and Rasheed ran a pick-and-roll in the high post and broke in. After Haslem switched defenses, he held the ball in the middle distance and made a posture of lowering his body for a one-on-one challenge. Hamilton, after going around in a circle, borrowed

Using Rasheed's cover, he came behind Billups.

"As for Dak, he is too naive, both physically and mentally. I have said before that he needs a long time of training and training to become a real player, but unfortunately, he is too eager to become famous, which will destroy

His."

If news breaks out at this time, the players may only be suspended and fined, while the referee involved may lose his job.

Perhaps out of fear that the warning would be useless, the referee subsequently reduced the size of the whistle and limited the intensity of the confrontation.

But this did not reduce the intensity of the confrontation between the two sides. The collision between the innocent Ben and the even more innocent Ao Pang in the paint aroused everyone's anger.

In the first quarter alone, the referee sent out 32 whistles.
