Chapter 194 The era of wild dancing

"We will ensure that the league is a clean and pure competitive league, and any violent behavior will not be allowed."

Stern stood in front of the media cameras with a serious face and announced the league's punishment for this violent incident.

"To sum up, our suspension penalties for this incident are: Yao Ming, due to excessive defense, suspended for 4 games and fined 20,000 U.S. dollars;

Desmond Mason was suspended for 6 games and fined $25,000 for his obviously malicious protective actions and subsequent senseless provocation and violent behavior;

Chris Anderson, due to unnecessary violent behavior and subsequent medical examination issues, has been permanently removed from the court in accordance with league regulations and discussions at league high-level meetings."

Yao Ming stared blankly at the TV, listening to the league's punishment against him with some disbelief.

Did he hear it correctly?

He only needs to be suspended for 4 games for swinging his fist like that?

The doctor told him that the recovery period for his brow bone would take at least half a month. In other words, if he is not on the injured list, he will be released from the banned list?

Xiao Fan next to him nodded unexpectedly.

Almost, according to his expectation, the suspension period is almost over.

After the battle at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the league tightened the penalties for fighting, but the scale of this time and space war was limited, so the league was really not that sensitive to violence.

Dayao did not show any particular excitement for revenge in this conflict. He did not fight back until he was seriously violated by Anderson. In the eyes of the Americans, he was already showing some weakness.

The Alliance does not advocate violence, but it does not welcome weaklings, not to mention that self-defense is a universal value that gun companies vigorously promote.

Although Mason ended up being the one being beaten, no one felt sorry for him. The cameras behind the baseline and the backboard clearly recorded all his moves.

As for Anderson, his attack was quite unreasonable. Considering that Anderson was summoned by the police not long ago for domestic violence against his girlfriend and mother, Stern had his blood collected immediately after the game.

urine and hair.

Sure enough, some chemicals that shouldn't be present appeared in his blood, involving at least four or more banned products.

Isn’t this the perfect “anti-drug ambassador”?

Permanent ban!

The mini-mid-level team just signed by Anderson was also forcibly terminated by the league.

"should" is just one word.

However, what puzzled and even shocked Dayao was what happened later.

The domestic media did not blame him for his behavior but expressed appreciation and praise for him.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who say that Dayao used violence, was not a gentleman enough, damaged the country's image, and damaged the image of Asians, but these are not mainstream voices.

Even looking at online forums, fans who make such "gentlemanly" remarks will be attacked by other people.

"You're laughing so hard, I hit you in the face with my fist and you're still talking about image? You're so abstract!"

"You've been kneeling for a long time and your knees have grown roots, right? You guys are very polite. It was so polite to knock on the door with a cannon when you knocked on the door. How long ago did you forget it?"

"Brother Mo would have killed him long ago, and he is still here."

It seems that what Mo Wen said is really right?

…

"Playing next to Jordan, the greatest basketball player in the world, he made me become a great person. I can't remember what it was like when MJ's jersey was retired, but for me, this is me

The most proud scene in my career. I know that from now on, no player from the Bulls will be able to put on this jersey..."

Under the spotlight, with Dan Zi, Rodman, and Jackson all watching, Scottie Pippen slowly raised his giant No. 33 jersey into the sky above the American League Arena.

Following Bob Love, Jerry Sloan, and Michael Jordan, he has also become the fourth god in this arena.

The Heat on the side also gave timely applause to the most successful second player in NBA history.

No matter what you say, Pippen bought them more halftime today.

The intermission, which usually ends in 15 minutes, dragged on for 30 minutes due to various interactions.

"Lucky shit."

As a former opponent, Payton did not have a high opinion of Pippen. Although Pippen's career seemed to be more successful than his, the guy himself did not deserve respect.

As he said himself, Pippen was able to make irresponsible remarks later, and Danzi had to bear most of the responsibility.

The sensational drama brought a wave of emotions and tears from the fans, but it did not change the trend of today's game.

After losing the overweight "Baby Shark" Eddy Curry, the Bulls' lineup has become quite light. Their fast break is decent, but facing the powerful Heat, ordinary fast speed can only make them more efficient.

Take two steps forward.

Hinrich, who was regarded as the hope for the team's revival, was able to fight Mo Wen a few times last year, but this year he became the one that was completely suppressed after Mo Wen got better.

Ben Gordon also fell short under Wade's care. The speed he was proud of had no advantage in front of Wade, and his simple and simple breakthroughs could not break Wade. Mo Wen trained him to press...defensively.

Facing Finley, who was very excited because of Jordan, Nocioni could only hang from the outside and shoot three-pointers.

The home referees are very biased towards the Bulls today. The retirement of Mr. Pi can be considered a decent thing. Even if it is not as good as "Kneeling and Punishment", the Bulls can still lead by 6 free throws in a single quarter after using the shark-cutting tactic.

Quite an exaggeration.

But Mo Wen also got high today.

Hinrich, Ben Gordon and Nocioni's large number of three-point shots made Mo Wen feel like he was playing a copy of the "Joke Era", so he unknowingly switched modes and turned on the Langbi state.

Back in the third quarter, he shot 9 three-pointers.

Super long three-pointers, pull-up three-pointers, behind-the-screen three-pointers, breakaway three-pointers, jump-step three-pointers in disguise, and outside fantasy dance three-pointers that only appear in 2K or live games...

In the TNT studio, watching Mo Wen pick up Hinrich, and after a physical confrontation outside the three-point line, he jumped back and hit another three-pointer. Barkley couldn't stand it anymore:

"God, I want to apologize for what I just said about Mo Wen being an evolved version of a point forward like Pippen. Pippen will never play like this, and he will never perform like this."

"I'm just thinking about who can punish him. If I let him continue like this, he will teach the young players bad things!"

With 5 of 9 shots and two free throws, Mo Wen easily scored 17 points.

He also pushed his total score in this game to 30 points.

During the break after the third quarter, everyone sitting there was a little confused when they saw Mo Wen 30+10+10 on the screen.

No, what happened?

How come he had a 30-point triple-double in the blink of an eye?

When will live games be able to be fast forwarded?

"This guy's shooting is good. He has the eight-point shooting ability I had back then." Danzi, in a suit and leather shoes, looked at Mo Wen as if he were looking at a piece of art.

The Zen master turned his head and looked at him without saying anything.

stare--

Danzi, who noticed the Zen Master's gaze, tensed up for three or four seconds and finally stopped, and laughed awkwardly but without dignity.

The Zen master also laughed.

You know I'm sorry.

The 0th person in the history of the Three-Point Contest, how can he be so embarrassed to win the three-point championship?

"I have to admit, your face is already 80% as thick as Dr. Buss (the owner of the Lakers)." The Zen master smiled.

"Oh, it seems that I still need to work hard." Jordan is not ashamed. Although Bass has been ridiculed a lot for trading O'Neal in the past two years, looking at the entire league, he is still the most successful player.

A group of bosses.

"This kid's style of play...what do you think?"

The Zen master asked pointedly.

"Sitting and watching, standing and watching, how else can I watch? He looks very cool now, mainly because his teammates are strong enough and there is not much offensive pressure, so he can naturally do whatever he wants." Jordan raised his eyebrows and said.

, "You can't win the championship with three points. If I remember correctly, you still said this."

"Haha, the rules have changed... If you were the same person now, I would probably ask you to practice three-pointers."

The Zen master leaned back, with a hint of helplessness in his words.

After Stern tasted the benefits of increased ratings brought by offensive basketball, he further tightened the whistle, and outside defensive attempts were completely prohibited. It became easier for stars to get whistles on breakthroughs, and at the same time, the tactical status of the three-pointer was further improved.

The logic is simple - you can't defend. If you want to contain the star's breakthrough, you can only leave space. If the star can seize this space to shoot a three-pointer, it will put the opponent's defense in a dilemma.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to make three-pointers. As long as your breakthrough is determined enough and you meet a referee who is willing to give you a whistle, you can still produce superb statistics.

Well, that's right, it's James.

——Michael James, a former teammate of Mo Wen in the Pistons and Billups's substitute, who struggled to average double figures in points per game before, has averaged 20+6+4 per game in the Raptors this season just by relying on breakthroughs.

's performance.

Jordan shook his head after hearing this.

After leaving the front line of the game, he still adheres to the competitive philosophy he once had. In his eyes, three-pointers are important, but the two-pointer that can really influence the game in the playoffs depends on the two-pointer.

"So..." The Zen Master raised his brows with interest.

"So the Bobcats will still welcome him just like they welcomed me." Jordan smiled and shrugged, "Hey, don't think too much about Phil, we won't let him go, even though he has a big head compared to me.

There is a big gap, but looking at it now, he should be the young man closest to me besides Kobe."

Speaking of this, Danzi showed a proud smile on his face.

Now almost all teams in the league are looking forward to Mo Wen Xiaxia's departure.

But currently, the only one that really has enough salary space to match the maximum salary to Mo Wen who triggered the "Mo Clause" is the newly established Bobcats.

The salary paid by the Bobcats this year is just over 30 million. If done properly, they can even offer a maximum salary to Mo Wen and a maximum salary to Yao Ming!

Even if Yao cannot be poached, the combination of Mo Wen + No. 2 pick Okafor + No. 1 pick Bogoute looks very promising.

"He is not a local player. In terms of commercial value, he is no worse than you. He may not choose a small city just because of millions." Zen Master shook his head. For a popular player like Mo Wen, the salary is

It's just a part of the income, not even the biggest part.

For these big names, salary is more of a status symbol and a kind of respect, but it is not always a factor that can determine everything.

"I won't bother you with this. Johnson (the Bobcats' major shareholder at this time) has already made a lot of plans to lobby for him to join. To be honest, if I could enjoy this kind of treatment when I first came back, Chicago would

It might not be my first choice."

"Of course, even if we don't get him, other teams can't get around us if they want to get him. We can still make a fortune when the time comes."

As Jordan spoke, he pumped his fist excitedly.

The Bobcats have no real heritage. To recruit players for the team, they have to rely on picking up junk players from other teams. There are no good products at all. The appeal of Charlotte is also limited. No big-name players take the initiative to join. God knows what they will do.

How long does it take to reach the playoffs.

But who would have thought that someone would hand them a pillow as soon as they dozed off, and the previously unfilled salary cap would become their advantage!

If the Bobcats can't get an All-Star this summer, then everyone on the management team can resign.

In the fourth quarter, facing a 15-point deficit, Mo Wen did not choose to continue playing.

He could have a 40+ triple-double, but considering that Pi Erye only had a 39-point triple-double with the Bulls, Mo Wen thought about it and gave up on this rather disturbing approach.

But the stadium is not a turn-based numerical game, it is always full of surprises.

After Mo Wen, O'Pang, and Finley went off the field one after another, the Bulls youth team, which had been suppressed for three quarters, felt like they were good again.

Hinrich regained the feeling of connecting the team, Luol Deng also called fouls one after another like a miracle, and Ben Gordon, who had been invisible in front of Wade, also stole chickens from the bottom corner twice and hit three-pointers.

Wade and Walker were a little absent-minded.

When the Heat were on a winning streak some time ago, the opposing team basically gave up resistance in the fourth quarter when they were leading by a big score. They stayed on the court to just brush up the data and wait for the game to end.

The two missed several shots, and when they looked up again, the point difference was narrowed to 7 points.

Da Fan looked past Ao Pang and Finley and came to Mo Wen.

Yes, I have to work overtime again today.

Hinrich felt nervous when he saw Mo Wen come on stage.

Mo Wen's cutting ball gave people a great sense of pressure. This was a wonderful feeling that no other defender could give.

There is no gambling-style all-or-nothing, no mad-dog-style biting aggression, Mo Wen's eyes seem to always be able to see through your dribbling rhythm, and steal the ball away when you relax a little.

It was clear that he was the one attacking with the ball, but Mo Wen took him away from the defense.

Due to the tightening of whistles, the steal list has shrunk significantly this season, but Mo Wen has not been greatly affected. His average of 2.8 steals per game is a lot higher than the second-ranked Brevin Knight's 2.3 steals.

As soon as Hinrich became cautious, the Bulls' pace immediately dropped.

This immediate change can be seen by anyone who knows a little bit about football.

Paxson, who took over Krause's position as Bulls general manager, was also enthusiastic about it.

Although the Bulls' salary space is not as "rich" as that of the Bobcats, the current salary expenditure is only 41 million, and there is still 8 million in room. Eddie Robinson, who has retired, will have his bad contract terminated next year, leaving another 5 million available.

Wan, if Hinrich is sent away in exchange for draft picks, it will not be a problem for them to clear 35% of their salary space.

Salary space?

Who doesn’t?

Naturally, the Bulls' youth team was not willing to let Mo Wen take away the game so easily. Members of the Bulls dynasty were watching from the sidelines. It would be too unambitious for them to admit defeat like this.

Without coach Skiles making chicken soup, they completed their own strategy, showed enthusiasm that they didn't have in the first three quarters, and used their talent to wildly attack the Heat's experienced defense.

The Heat's defense is as mature as an "old aunt's", but they are still a bit unable to withstand the frequency of these five levels of impact.

Fortunately, Mo Wen has a good touch and has been helping the Heat maintain the point difference with his tactics and personal offense.

"No, Gordon was careless. He passed the ball rashly without observing the situation. The ball was intercepted by Mo, and the Heat are about to counterattack again!"

"Chandler was following very closely. Look at this ball... Chandler was shaken and flew over!"

"...Luol Deng also flew over!"

"...Sweetney, you were fooled again!"

"Oh my god, does Mo have eyes on the back of his head? He turned his back to the chasing players and used three consecutive fake shots to deceive the Bulls' chasing players! It feels like he can predict the future!"

"40 points! Mo set a new high for his scoring at the Bulls' home court. He also had 11 assists and 10 rebounds, a 40-point triple-double. He set a new record for a visiting team player's triple-double at the Bulls' home court! He also became the second player after Michael Dunk.

The second player to score a 40-point triple-double at the United Center!"

"With three minutes left before the end of the game, he even has a chance to break the triple-double record of 47 points!"

Under the camera, Mr. Pi's smile was a little stiff.

He really didn't expect that he would be stabbed in the back like this in his most glorious day after retirement.

The most annoying thing is that the commentator didn't mention his 39-point triple-double at all!

Danzi could still maintain his grace and chat and laugh with the Zen master, but from the way his eyes glanced at the scoreboard from time to time, it could be seen that he was not as calm as expected.

On the day when Pippen's jersey is retired, it is enough to "pass on" Pippen. It would be rude to continue.

Bulls head coach Skiles was also upset.

With a score difference of 8 points, I feel like I haven't given up yet, but if I keep resisting and let Mo Wen score two more three-pointers, tomorrow's headlines may not be the news about Pippen's jersey retirement!

"MVP!" "MVP!"

"We want Jordan!" "We want Jordan!"

In this relic of the gods, fans used their voices to express their dissatisfaction with the team.

In front of the camera, Jordan smiled and shrugged, while Mo Wen blew a few kisses in the direction of the MVP shouting.

Mo Wen's polite response had great consequences. The shouts of MVP spread from that small area and gradually infected the entire arena.

Jordan turned to look at Paxson on one side, but Paxson did not feel disappointed because of such a scene. On the contrary... as it should be, he was happy to see what happened.

Damn, there's something wrong with this guy!

On the other side, Erye Pi was dumbfounded. Damn it, are the tears these fans just shed for him and the cheers they gave him real?

An hour ago, they were still sworn to each other. An hour later, before he left, these fans couldn't wait to rush into the arms of the young and powerful young man in front of him.

A scumbag, right?

He held the soft hand of his sexy wife next to him and hugged the child in front of him. Fortunately, he still had a lover who loved him and a child who loved him.

The only ones who were more miserable than Pippen were these young Bulls.

Most of them have fought for the Bulls for two or three seasons, but they rarely hear collective praise from fans.

They understood that because the six waving flags decorated the home so brilliantly, they were not worthy of it.

But who would have thought that in the past, the "beautiful lady" who had no response no matter how hard they tried, would actually turn around and begin to flutter under the body of a wealthy and handsome man outside this magnificent home.

[I'm not sad, it's nothing, it's just why the tears flow...]

Skiles made no arrangements, and the Bulls players who felt like they had green heads above them took the initiative to target Mo Wen.

Starting to double-team from outside the three-point line is a bit exaggerated, but they have no choice.

The two of them did not pose much pressure to Mo Wen.

Whether before or after sleeping, he has a wealth of experience.

In such a large space outside the three-point line, they can't get started. It's their business to double-team or not, and whether to defend or not. Whether they can get in or not is basically unheard of.

But Da Fan felt that it was almost time to stop.

If the Big Three are always there, then it doesn't matter if they are a bit arrogant.

But after Mo Wen leaves next season, he will have to fight alone.

Now that there is too much hatred, he may not be able to handle it when the debt is settled next season.

When Mo Wen got two more assists and the point difference widened to double digits again, Da Fan replaced Mo Wen.

"I'm going to break McQueen's record soon. You won't be angry if I replace you, right?" Da Fan had an apology on his face.

"It doesn't matter, it's just Maikou's record." Mo Wen wiped his sweat and said calmly.

Look, what is "Pattern"!

By winning this game, the Heat once again completed a three-game winning streak.

And in the just-concluded round of All-Star voting, Mo Wen came first in a crushing manner. He no longer needs to rely on explosive performances to increase his popularity.

According to official news from the league, even if domestic votes are not counted, his vote share in the United States is the same as Arjan, slightly surpassing Allen Iverson, and surpassing Nash and Nagging in the West.

As for another important list besides the All-Star list, the MVP list, Mo Wen doesn't have much interest.

MVP, based on the Heat's record-breaking performance this season, he has a chance to compete, but the points deduction brought by teaming up is too great.

Unless he dives into the sewer and doesn't care about buying triple pairs, otherwise, even if he gets it, he will be criticized in the future.

Not to mention Nash, who was still killing the Suns with the remnants of the Western Conference, and Kobe, who failed to average 30+ per game but led the Lakers back to the top three in the Western Conference.

Knight James has also risen.

Ajan's scoring dropped slightly after being assisted by Reid, but his assists and team leadership performance have improved a lot compared to the original history.

Larius was called "CBA" mainly because of his breakthrough style of play, and his breakthrough efficiency can only be said to be qualified. His lack of shooting ability, coupled with injuries, led to his poor performance next to Ajan.

Every year is worse than the last.

But Reed is now one of the top five off-ball shooting scorers in the league, and he also has a low-post game that he developed when he was the boss.

He does not stick to the ball, and his main offensive method is to catch and shoot. He has strong ability to move without the ball, has three-pointers, and has the ability to catch the ball in the low post and hit hard.

Is it similar?

Excellent pot!

A match made in heaven!

Love you for ten thousand years!

He, James, finally has his own Scott Wade!

The chemistry between the two is quite good, and their outside performance is not at all inferior to that of Mo Wen and Wade last season.

This year in the Eastern Conference, the Heat are the only one, the Pistons are one level weaker, and the Cavaliers are half a level weaker than the Pistons.

If the Heat's lineup wasn't too exaggerated, Ajan would have wanted to declare "Cleveland Championship" directly.

Averaged 29 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists per game. With such all-around statistics, coupled with his greatly improved performance in leading the team, Ajan is as close as Nash in the MVP list so far.

Mo Wen was very worried about Ajan. If he was lucky enough to win the MVP this season, Ajan would be able to trigger the "Mo Clause" and his contract extension would skyrocket to an exaggerated level.

At that time, will Ajan also fall into the "Wolf King's Dilemma" - unable to let go of the big contract, unable to find good teammates, and still have to be kidnapped by the big contract, and dare not even mention leaving before he is 30 years old.

The status of King Nuo... Oh no, what about the historical status of Ajan?

…

The time is getting closer to Christmas.

Stern finally came back to his senses, and instead of arranging a holiday visit for the Heat, he arranged the Christmas game in Miami.

rest?

Rest is impossible to rest.

The Heat are more popular this year than any team in the four major North American sports leagues, and they are not far behind the Bulls who won 72 games that year.

If you don’t squeeze out the heat, you won’t be able to sit on his seat at all!

As for opponents, do you even need to talk about them?

Naturally, the Lakers are back in the top three in the Western Conference.

Kobe, who was originally "isolated and helpless" in history, performed at the peak of his career this season, averaging 35+5+4 per game, becoming the first player after Jordan to average 35+ points per game in a season.

30+ is a daily operation, various 40+, 50+, 60+, and even the earth-shattering 81 points finally shocked Stern and asked him to personally rebuild Kobe's golden body.

It's a pity that Kobe, who has a cannon and a madman, is destined to miss the opportunity.

O'Brien's early success stimulated Kobe's early growth.

Between personal victory and team victory, after taking the boss position, he chose the team.

Currently, his scoring average is only 29.5 points per game.

He still maintained an average of 20+ shots per game, but the ball was partially given to Paul, who showed good talent.

Although Paul was bullied miserably by Kobe and the Madmen, he was also a "hero" who understood current affairs.

Although sometimes I couldn't bear the bad words from the two old guys, and even got beaten when they retorted, but I was also unambiguous when it was time to pass the ball, highlighting my forbearance and development.

The original serving and dribbling guard has become a point guard, and there is also a qualified sixth man on the bench like Madman. Talented men like Kwame Brown have also improved a lot compared to the original history due to the activation of small guns.

The lineup is becoming more reasonable and luxurious, and the Lakers' record is also improving.

No one dares to say that the Lakers will win the championship, but if they reach the second round or even return to the Western Conference Finals, their voices are already very high.

On December 23, when they came to Miami, the Lakers players who changed from winter clothes to long sleeves did not feel much warmth.

That cold-blooded creature with a stern face has been in high-pressure mode since he got on the plane.

As soon as he arrived at the hotel, before he could take a breath, Kobe opened the guest rooms of other Lakers players and took his teammates to the nearest arena to start warming up.

Xiaopao rarely complained but chose to cooperate.

Because he also wants to get to know the strongest point guard who is currently leading the strongest team in the league.

"Listen, half-finished product, I don't care if this is Staples or not. I don't want to see you get dunked by some fat guy, or easily push you away. I don't care what method you use to contain him, as long as you are still on the court.

If he deducts 1 on your head, then I will deduct 10 from you when I go back. If I deduct 2 from you, I will deduct 100 from you. If he deducts 3 from you..."

"111?" Nervously, Kwame Brown used all his mathematical talents in his life to give the answer.

"It's 1,000, idiot, was your math taught by your physical education teacher?" Kobe sighed helplessly, "It's right to call you a semi-finished product!"

Kwame Brown, who was originally useless in history, was able to play some role under Paul's feeding, and he advanced from "waste" to "semi-finished product"

"Don't just ask others, Kobe, if being the boss means assigning tasks, then doesn't it matter who is the boss?"

Not willing to let his "beloved general" be humiliated, Paul stood up.

"Aha, your skin is itchy again? Haha, I happen to be thirsty. Rookie, buy me two bottles of drinks. I want colorful ones."

As he spoke, Kobe took out 500 dollars from his pocket and handed it over.

Xiao Pao took a deep breath, made a fist with the hand behind his back, gritted his teeth, rolled his eyes with a vengeance, and grabbed the money.

"How many deductions can O'Neal make in a game? How many points can he score? If you have the ability, you can guard against Mo's three-pointers! That is what can help win the game. Do you dare to take a bet? You can let Mo Mo in the game the day after tomorrow.

If you shoot one, I will shoot you 10 when you get back. If you shoot two, I will shoot you 100. He will shoot 3..."

"What if I block his three-pointer?" Kobe became interested and raised his eyes and asked.

"I'll give you 1,000!" Paul said decisively.

"Okay kid!" Kobe responded.

"Huh? What are you still doing? Go buy water!"

…

On Christmas Eve, Mo Wen was about to go back to his room to enjoy the "Christmas dinner" when his cell phone suddenly received two text message notifications.

Unlock to view——

[Hey, Mo, I’m Kobe, and I’ll make a bet with others in tomorrow’s game that I’ll guard against your three-pointers. If you don’t want to be blown away by me, be prepared!]

ah?

Mo Wen scratched his head?

Did Kobe send this?

Why is Kobe posting this so late at night?

Isn't it too childish to try to mess with his mentality?

Kobe's phone number...oh, he didn't leave a note, but think about it, no one else on the Lakers besides Kobe and Odom has his phone number, right?

Forget it, never mind, I'll go back and check with Heumann later.

Let’s talk about it another day.
