basketball never sleeps

Chapter 39 Ultraman is in red light

In order to distribute physical strength more reasonably, when Mo Wen comes on as a substitute, try to let Mo Wen take more shots. This has become an unspoken rule among Pistons players.

And Mo Wen rarely disappoints teammates who trust him. He came on as a substitute in the third quarter and scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal in 6 minutes. He also defended his opponent Kittles, who made 1 of 3 shots and 1 steal.

A mistake.

If the first game can still be attributed to the team being in a downturn, then in this game, when the rest of the Nets are gradually getting better, Kittles' performance is particularly eye-catching.

Many Nets fans watching the game at home felt incredible.

Kittles - seven-year veteran core - annual salary of 9 million;

Mo Wen - first-year rookie - annual salary of 400,000;

Is this a player that can be compared together?

However, Mo Wen's performance was not over yet. He was sent on the field again in the fourth quarter, this time replacing Prince.

Richard Jefferson, who faced off against Prince, performed well today. Whether it was catch-and-shoot or single breakthrough, he was effective. In the first three quarters, he made 4 of 8 shots and 7 of 8 free throws. He felt good and the referee also gave him face.

, all the whistles that should be given were given, and those that should not be given were also given.

Prince had five fouls in the first three quarters, which made him timid defensively in the fourth quarter. After the game, he asked Larry Brown to pull aside and turn on the "hair dryer" for a while.

Richard, who was showing his confidence, put one hand on his hips and patted the chest of Kittles next to him with the other hand.

"Look, let's see how we deal with him!"

Prince, who he guarded 1 of 12 times in the last game, was dismissed as a dish today. How could a little rookie still want to pounce?

Get out of the way, brother is about to start filling the cup!

"Mo faced the Nets' double-team and promptly distributed the ball. Hey, Rasheed caught the ball. He was empty outside the three-point line. Why did the Nets miss him? Rasheed caught the ball.

Shooting - got it!"

"Jefferson couldn't get past Mo and shot a fadeaway jumper - it's a pity, he had better options."

"Why do the Pistons' tactics look so familiar? Ah, this is not the tactic used by the Nets just now. Rasheed in the high post passed the ball to Mo on the wing. Mo broke through to attract the defense. At the same time, Chauncey covered Rashid inside.

Tsk, don’t pass the ball out again when you’re double-teamed... Is it a tactical collision, or is the Pistons copying the Nets’ tactics?!”

"Richard rushed into the paint, and Mo was still guarding him. Can he guard the ball? Wait a minute, what about the basketball? Why did it go out of bounds!?"

Richard Jefferson, who was intercepted by Mo Wen's "Look Back", wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt as if his chest was blocked by something.

Only a few minutes after Mo Wen came on the field, he also felt the pain of Kittles, who told him this was a rookie.

If the Hexagon sees this, is it going to send troops to attack immediately?!

Mo Wen is not only skilled in ball skills, but his little moves are as good as those of the "old-timers". Especially during confrontations, Richard once felt like he was playing with a weight-increasing version of Reggie Miller. Whenever you play with Mo Wen,

Any physical contact would give him an advantage.

If a dog passes by, this guy will have to be kicked before he can get away.

You can't score when you hit, and you can't defend well. Just two words - torture.

In fact, it doesn't mean that Mo Wen can't be defeated at all. In the fourth quarter of the game, Richard has already played for 32 minutes. In terms of physical strength, he is not at the same level as Mo Wen, a substitute who only played for more than ten minutes.

Richard vomited all the sweetness he got from Prince, including the profit. In the fourth quarter, Richard, who originally wanted to continue to take over the game, rewarded the enthusiastic Detroit fans with a 1-for-5 performance.

He went 1-for-12 in the game and 1-for-5 in the final quarter. The Pistons' home commentator wanted to give Richard a jersey (a Pistons jersey).

Nets head coach Frank called several timeouts. It cannot be said that it was in vain, it can only be said that it was of no use.

Frank is 33 years old, has never played professional basketball, has not been an assistant coach for a few years, and is not a genius. He has no money and can only rely on Kidd.

To a certain extent, Billups' situation is pretty good, at least he doesn't have to deploy defensive tactics.

Kidd couldn't find a flaw in the Pistons lineup for a while. To say the least, he scored a total of 18 points in the two games. He himself was like a mud Buddha crossing the river - a state that he could not save.

No surprise, the Nets collapsed at the last moment, the Pistons 95:80 Nets, another big victory.

In this game, the Pistons were very aggressive on the outside. Billups scored 28 points, and Hamilton also scored 28 points. The two scored 56 points together, once again beating the Nets in the previous game.

Rashid had 12 points and 7 rebounds, Ben had 6 points and 13 rebounds, and Prince had 4 points and 8 rebounds.

Mo Wen played 22 minutes and scored 13 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. The remaining substitute players basically did not get any shot rights.

After losing two consecutive away games by big margins, the Nets were also feeling angry. Returning to their home court, the Nets also showed their hospitality.

The Pistons, who were in hot form in the last game, were warmly entertained at the Nets' home court.

Kidd and Billups were fighting like shrews, tearing at each other and scratching each other's faces - no one could leave the Airline Arena (the home of the Nets) with a face on their face today.

Billups had 2 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, while Kidd had 5 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists.

The most amazing thing was that on this night, in the Western Conference Lakers' game against the Spurs, Payton "scored" 4 points in 37 minutes.

The three current top five point guards in the league combined to score 11 points in one night.

The defender's face was completely humiliated.

It's weird to say this.

Ben grabbed 12 offensive rebounds in this game, giving Martin and Nets starting center Collins a green thumb.

Missed the shot? Grab the rebound and pass it back and try again.

But a full-blooded boss couldn't resist the blood-sucking two "leeches" Hamilton and Billups.

Mo Wen's touch as a substitute was average. He made 4 of 11 shots and scored a total of 11 points including free throws. It was a rare inefficiency.

The referee's whistle was stricter than before, and coupled with the home court's biased whistle, the Nets' fast break was able to come back.

The Pistons lost G3 72:85 against the Nets.

In Game 4 of the series, Kidd, who had failed to score in double figures in three games, finally broke out. He made 7 of 15 shots and 7 of 8 free throws, scoring 22 points. He also had 10 rebounds and 11 assists, reaching seventh place in his career.

A triple-double in the playoffs.

Martin, who had been suppressed by Double Wallace before, also stood up and felt proud with 15 points and 15 rebounds.

On the Pistons side, except for Hamilton and Mo Wen, one of whom scored 30 points and the other scored 16 points, all of them were ice shooters.

Ben was 1 for 5, Billups was 2 for 7, Prince was 2 for 6, Rashid was 1 for 5, Okur was 1 for 4, and Corliss was 1 for 3; no one scored in double figures.

Milicic also played for two rounds. He and Mo Wen performed a long pass and fast break combination that they had practiced in training. They played beautifully, but Milicic was replaced after a short period of time when the ball was dead.

.

Larry Brown hates fast breaks. Iverson was asked to reduce fast breaks under him and play more positional breakthroughs. Milicic's dare to play fast breaks was to tease his nerves.

G4 finally ended with the Pistons' defeat. The total score was 2:2, and the two sides drew.

G5 returned to the home court of the Pistons. In the battle of Tianwangshan, the two teams played an unprecedented score in the entire series——

Pistons 128:122 Nets.

This terrifying high score was not a fierce battle between the two teams, but three overtimes!

In this tragic and exciting battle at Tianwang Mountain, Hamilton fouled out and left the game halfway through the fourth quarter. Fortunately, Billups hit a tying 3-pointer in the last 3 seconds of the fourth quarter.

Not long after the first overtime started, Ben committed six fouls, and Nets insiders Jason Collins and Aaron also committed two fouls.

In the last 2 seconds, Nets sixth man Rodney Rogers, who had scored 9 seconds and 9 points before, hit the buzzer-beater under Mo Wen's interference, and the two teams were tied again.

In the second overtime, all the starting big men from both teams committed fouls. Martin of the Nets, Rasheed and Okur of the Pistons successively left the court. The two sides were tied in the last minute, and Richard Jefferson made two free throws at the last moment.

No. 1 missed another chance to win.

In the third overtime, all the fans on the sidelines stood up to watch the game. Prince, the tallest player on the Pistons side, was also sent off for a foul one minute after playing. Larry Brown did not dare to let the remaining players on the bench

Players who have never played in the game usually appear at such a critical moment. With Campbell absent due to injury, they would rather let the 201 veteran Hamm play as the center, and the same is true for the Nets. They only have 9 people in rotation so far, and 3

After the inside line is full of fouls, they would rather let the remaining players play small ball than replace other substitutes.

Mo Wen took over the ball from Billups, who had already played 50 minutes, and Kidd, who played more minutes on the Nets side, also handed over the offensive tasks to Richard Jefferson.

Larry Brown was still yelling from the sidelines to let Billups, who had already made 7 of 22 shots, play more. It was too ridiculous to hand the ball to a first-year rookie at such a critical moment.

At this point in the game, the real defensive pressure on the field has been very small. All the inside players have left the game, and the players who come on are either main players without much physical strength or substitutes with little strength.

For the players on the court, there is more mental and psychological pressure now. Generally speaking, a rookie is qualified if he can stand on the court without shaking. Let him be the main attacker. Larry Brown feels that this is challenging his heart.

.

Mo Wen didn't pay attention to Larry Brown's shouting. This kind of pressure was just a drop in the bucket for him. In the dungeon, he had played in all 5 overtime games. He had also played for more than 30 minutes, and his stamina was about to drop.

At the end of the day, I don’t want to work overtime and work hard.

Ultraman's red light is on, and the battle should be over.

"Ham helped Mo do a pick-and-roll with the ball. Harris was blocked. The Nets could only use Kittles to guard him. This is not good news for the Nets. Kittles has played more than 50 games.

minutes, and Mo Cai played less than 35 minutes."

"Mo dribbled past people, Kittles couldn't seem to keep up with the defense... Oh ho ho, Mo used a sudden stop to explode the ball and knocked Kittles down directly, and hit the mid-range shot.

!”

"Richard wants to retaliate? He made a mistake in breaking through and the ball was stolen by Mo!"

"Billups missed a layup, but Kidd... Mowen snatched the basketball student from Kidd's hand, turned around and dunked successfully, GOD who dares to challenge him? He is only a first-year player!"

"Rodney broke through and knocked down Mo. The referee blew the whistle and the Nets committed an offensive foul."

"This kid is going to end the overtime, let's shout his name - WIN!!!"

All the players on the Pistons bench stood up and waved towels for Mo Wen, and the Pistons fans on the sidelines also started shouting "MVP" and "WIN" sporadically.

On the other side of the ocean, more than a dozen men's basketball players gathered in front of the TV to watch the game.

Liu Wei hooked his arms around Dayao's neck and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, feeling both nervous and excited.

"Dayao, is this Xiao Mo really only 20 years old this year? He is still so comfortable under such great pressure. Why do I feel...he is better than you?"

Dayao glanced at Faxiao awkwardly and politely, hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"This...Xiao Mo is not weak to begin with, but his coach doesn't like to use him very much, so he plays less in the regular season."

"Our new Rockets manager called me specifically two days ago to ask me to help recruit him. He had previously contacted the Pistons manager and wanted to trade Mobley or Jim plus this year's first-round pick for Mo, but the Pistons rejected him.

They refused."

Dayao also wanted to play in a team with Mo Wen. Xiao Fan also told him after the previous game against the Pistons that Mo Wen was very suitable to be his teammate.

But that little bastard Mo Wen made it clear on the phone that he didn't want to play on the same team as him.

He said that the Rockets owner and manager are not good people, and advised him to test the free market after the new off-season. Don't think of Houston as home, and don't let loyalty harm you. He also said that Xiao Fan will leave one day.

Just apply for a transaction immediately.

This is really teaching him how to be rebellious!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, there is something to be said for studying abroad and playing basketball, but hey, it's hard for Brother Li to get a starting position." Liu Wei suddenly thought of something and looked at Li Nan and Du Feng on the side with a look of shame.

"Mo Wen, this kid is more capable than me. Starting is just a matter of football. It doesn't matter if I give him the captaincy of the men's basketball team. If he and Dayao take the national team to a further level, it won't be a problem for the labor and management to help him as a boy."

When Li Nan heard Liu Wei's words, he rolled his eyes angrily.

On the field, as Mo Wen scored again and again, the game finally came to the final moment.

Jefferson was still unwilling to try to attack, but only 1 minute left and a 10-point difference kept reminding him that the game was over.

Billups listened to the roar of "MVP" like a tsunami around him, and thought Mo Wen would be very excited.

But when he looked at Mo Wen, that handsome face still maintained its usual indifference, just like the indifference when he told him to give him the basketball just now.

At most, there is just a little more smile.

There is no trace of tension or excitement on the soothing facial muscles.

Recalling their past experiences together, Billups understood something in an instant. He remembered something his college coach said to him.

"The glory accumulated from external objects will eventually be destroyed by external objects. True self-confidence always comes from one's own heart."

When the red light of the game sounded, Mo Wen, who scored 12 points in the third overtime, was surrounded by excited teammates and was thrown into the sky.

The Nets players could only leave the Palace of Auburn Hills with their physically and mentally exhausted bodies and a deep sense of unwillingness.

They had at least three chances to end the game, but they failed to seize it in the end. Their 63 minutes of hard work ended up being Mo Wen's wedding dress.

Kidd glanced at the big screen above his head.

Mo Wen, the MVP of this game - played 36 minutes, made 13 of 21 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, with a total of 30 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, and 2 turnovers.

First-year rookie? Haha, that’s nonsense.

4K Wow, the second update is in Schrödinger’s box.
