basketball never sleeps

Chapter 52 Is this world really fair?

"Stop...stop...stop Catherine, I can't hold it anymore, let me go."

"No, it's not time yet!"

"Farke, how long do you have to wait?"

"Hold on just a little longer, just a little while longer!"

"You have been repeating this sentence for 3 minutes, you Bichi!"

Hearing this, Catherine's figure pressed down again.

"Oh, scum, slow down, I'm still a 20-year-old boy!"

"Are you really a--a boy?"

After a while, Catherine stood up, and Mo Wenze, who was sweating profusely, hugged his legs pitifully.

"Don't worry, I will be responsible for your body." Catherine chuckled and left with the timer in hand with satisfaction.

Mo Wen gritted his teeth and looked at Catherine's back. He originally thought that Catherine was just a shrew, but he didn't expect that she was also a vicious woman!

This wave of leg pressure lasted for five minutes. Is this something a human being can do?

Before Mo Wen could take a breath, Catherine twisted her seductive little waist and came to Mo Wen's eyes.

"Okay, you have rested for 55 seconds, it's time to continue with the next training event."

······

"If Yao Ming says that again, let him be the head coach!"

The angry Harris slammed the table in front of the basketball director, pointed at a certain section of a newspaper and cursed.

The director could only awkwardly ask Harris to sit down, pour him tea, and say nice things to the translator next to him.

What made the always gentle "Silver Fox" lose his temper? The director looked at the circled page in the newspaper and sighed secretly.

There is nothing else written on it. It is an exclusive interview with Yao Ming. In the interview, Yao Ming expressed his thoughts. He did not want the team's veteran Fan Bin, who had never participated in a world-class competition in his life, to be laid off on the eve of the Olympics.

Kicked off the men's basketball roster.

Jiao Jian and Fan Bin are the heroes who won the Harbin Asian Championship men's basketball team, and played a major role in the Chinese men's basketball team winning Olympic tickets. If they were Chinese coaches, out of common sense, they would like to hitch a ride and make the Olympics a success.

Dreams, in fact, there is nothing wrong with them.

But Harris and Yunus have always wanted to lay them off out of consideration for cultivating talents for the men's basketball team.

The goal of the men's basketball team in this Olympics is to train. For the more important training of the 2008 BJ Olympics, what is the use of bringing in Jiao Jian, who has little potential, and a 34-year-old veteran who is about to retire?

Every month Harris wanted to lay off the two of them, but every time the Basketball Association found various reasons to keep them.

It wasn't until July that the men's basketball team decided to go to Long Beach for training, and Fan Bin was finally dismissed.

"Brother Yao, is this world really fair?"

The night before registration, Liu Wei lay on the bed blankly and asked Dayao next door.

Dayao was stunned for a moment and remained silent for a long time. He knew what Liu Wei meant.

Fan Bin has been a member of the National Youth Team since he was a child. He has won glory for his country and made great contributions to the great cause of Bayi. In the Asian Championships the year before last, he used his experience to stabilize the men's basketball team at critical moments and help the men's basketball team win the championship.

He had three chances to participate in the Olympics, but each time he missed it in the end, which can be called tragic.

It would be okay if it was just like this. After all, the original intention of Harris and Yunus was to make the men's basketball team stronger. Although they felt uncomfortable, it was not unacceptable.

But in contrast, Mo Wen, who has never played for his country before, has not returned to China after the finals. He only needs to wait for them in Los Angeles and has already booked the absolute core of the men's basketball team.

Maybe Mo Wen is very capable, but this kind of thing that does not depend on seniority at all and relies solely on strength has made many veterans in the men's basketball team criticized.

"Why does that kid get into the Olympics and become the core of the Olympics without even exerting any effort? It's unreasonable to do such a thing!"

Yao Ming heard this kind of yelling outside the locker room last time. This one was the loudest, and he heard some other things that he didn't shout out. It wasn't just one person complaining and dissatisfied, it was a group of people.

He didn't go in and argue with the people inside, because he was also the "special" one in the men's basketball team.

Harris developed 30 sets of basic tactics for the Chinese men's basketball team, and evolved more advanced tactics, totaling more than 150 sets.

One-third of them were prepared with Mo Wen as the core, one-third were prepared with Yao Ming as the core, and the other third were team tactics based on internal and external cooperation.

When he is on the court, he is the core of all players' operations and tactics. The previous tactical system that focused on outside lines no longer exists. As many media said, Harris regarded him as "the old man's crutch."

Without it, other players won't be able to play.

Dayao could clearly feel the enthusiasm of his teammates gradually cooling down. Although he didn't say it openly, everyone was definitely feeling uncomfortable.

This is not bad, because everyone can only say that there is a small gap between him and him.

As for Mo Wen, he "played a big role" during the domestic training camp and did not come back. Li Nan and Fang Yu offered to take Mo Wen's place and lead everyone to familiarize themselves with outside tactics in advance, but they were directly rejected by Yunus.

"There's nothing to practice. It's just the regular pick-and-roll tactics in the NBA. You just need to stand in good positions, help Mo distance, and watch him perform. It's very simple. Apart from him, no one else in the men's basketball team has this ability.

.”

Yao Ming knew that what Yunus said was right. Mo Wen definitely had the strength and could definitely do the job well, but who could be happy after hearing this?

Mo Wen won the championship this year as the main force of the Pistons, and his reputation in the country almost surpassed that of Dayao. When it comes to basketball when he goes out, it is either Dayao or "Brother Mo". I don't know who else is in the men's basketball team!

Dayao originally thought that his teammates would work harder in training out of such envy and jealousy, but what he didn't expect was that except for a few young people who had a good relationship with him, the old players in the team were slacking off day by day.

He could already imagine what kind of test Mo Wen would face after returning to the team. Mo Wen's somewhat conceited character might really make big news.

······

In the Heat's office, Pat Riley, who had just hung up the phone, picked up the cigar leaning on the ashtray.

The back of his suit, the straight bridge of his nose and his slightly frowned brows made his figure look particularly deep under the dim light and the smoke from the cigar, just like the Godfather in the movie.

Pat Riley is thinking about a big gamble that will affect the team in the next 5 or even 10 years. Trading O'Neal is a big gamble. A two-year contract of nearly 60 million will occupy most of the Heat's salary space, but this time

After the big gamble, the Heat still have some assets left.

And if there is another gamble, the Heat may really have nothing left except Wade.

Knock knock——

His deputy Randy opened the door and came in, sat in front of him, and reported the results of his communication.

"That kid's agent said they would only accept a 2+1 contract with a two-way option in the last year."

"There is also news. His agent said that a sneaker manufacturer has offered him nearly 10 million yuan a year, and he will sign the contract after playing in the Olympics."

Pat Riley tapped his fingers on the table, showing a relieved smile.

"You're so confident, but I like it."

"Inform Dumas that the transaction remains as usual and let him submit the application together."

On the other side, in Detroit, Dumars also smiled proudly after receiving the Heat's official trade fax.

Butler is the player the Lakers manager wants by name. Without him, it will not be more difficult for the Heat to trade O'Neal.

Without O'Neal, the Heat can make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference, but it is basically impossible to make the Eastern Conference Finals.

But what Dumars didn't know was that after Dumars submitted his trade application to the league, another fax came to the desk of the Raptors general manager.

At 11 o'clock in the night, Mo Wen's phone rang again after he had just called to change his ticket due to some force majeure.

"You are quite popular. It's so late. Who asked you on a date?"

"Wait, don't move yet."

"Tch, I don't!"

"Hiss···Faq"

Mo Wenhao happily answered the phone.

"Hey Mo, congratulations, you are going to play in Miami!"

Before Mo Wen could reply, someone moving nearby came over and made some strange noises on the phone.

"Uh... forgive me, I didn't know who to congratulate for a moment."

"Steve?"

Catherine seemed to hear a familiar voice.

Mo Wen quickly hung up the phone to avoid the awkward continuation.

"It seems...it's him."

"Fake, give me your phone. I want to send him a text message. If he dares to say even a word to others, I will kill him even if he escapes to Europa!"

"What, you still refuse to admit it?"

"Admit what?"

"Admit your heart!"

"No, I said, this is just research!"

Mo Wen threw the phone aside, determined to torture out the true heart of this shrew.
