basketball never sleeps

Chapter 55 It’s solved, everything is solved.

James' performance ultimately disappointed his brothers.

It seemed like he was back to that summer last year, everything was still fresh in his mind, and James, who had lost his youthfulness, still couldn't adapt to Mo Wen's ruthless and cunning style of play.

James feels that he has made great progress after one year in the NBA. He is no longer the young and defenseless rookie he was back then. He cannot be said to be fully armed, but at least he is strong and determined.

Mo Wen just laughed. He had obtained the dungeon space for more than 400 days, played more than 2,000 games, and read countless people. He had already reached the state of "horses in his eyes but no horses in his heart". As for James, a frequent dungeon visitor, he always

If you stick your butt out, Mo Wen will know what "fart" he is about to fart.

Seeing James leaning up and down to confront him, Mo Wen seemed to understand who Kunkun later learned his "dirty dancing" from.

After three quarters, the score difference between the two teams was still within 5 points, but Mo Wen and Yao Ming were extremely tired. They were both father and mother on both offense and defense, and their physical exertion was even greater than in the NBA.

In the fourth quarter, after Mo Wen and Dayao took a break and did not play again, Meng Liu gradually widened the point difference.

"Why do I feel like this year's dream team is not good enough?"

Off the court, Dayao muttered beside Mo Wen.

"Is there a possibility that my brother is too strong?"

Mo Wen wiped the sweat from his head and smiled.

"You kid really doesn't know what to say... By the way, do you want to consider coming to play for the Rockets again? I feel like our cooperation... is very strong!"

Dayao looked at Mo Wen with burning eyes. If nothing else, he felt that Mo Wen's passing ability was even better than that of Boss Fu.

"It's the same thing, no way! When my brother has his own team one day, you won't be able to run anymore. I don't mind if you come over to run errands and I will help you win a championship."

"Fuck you, you are a wolf-hearted kid, right? Don't think it's great just because you won the championship. The Rockets recently traded Tracy McGrady, and he's not much better than you!"

Dayao and Mo Wen were bragging and spanking on the bench, but the Chinese players on the court were tortured.

When Dayao and Mo Wen were on the court, the pressure on other Chinese team players was not that great. As soon as they came off the field, the all-round pressure overwhelmed the entire team.

Especially in terms of physical fitness, it is a flaw for Chinese players. The current CBA has less than 30 games a year. In two years, it is not as many games as Dayao played in a year. The players do not have enough professional awareness.

Just like their fathers, they eat meat and drink alcohol every day; their physical training intensity is lower than that of the athletes on the national pong team. If it weren't for their youth, many players might not even be able to see a few muscles when they take off their clothes.

In just one quarter, the Chinese team lost to the Dream Six team by 20 points. The players of the Dream Six team were just toying with them.

Although the result of the game was a big win in the end, Larry Brown was not happy. There were no statistics for this game, but just from the impression, everyone can know that Mo Wen definitely got more than 20+10 data.

When bidding farewell at the end of the game, Mo Wenyou approached Larry Brown, but with experience, Larry Brown immediately shrank behind Popovich.

"Don't go too far, kid!" Popovich stopped Mo Wen.

"I just want to say hello to Larry, why are you so nervous?"

Mo Wen spread his hands. He just wanted to say goodbye. What bad thoughts could a young player like him have?

"If you lose the game, just tuck your tail between your legs and go back. You're not welcome here!" Larry Brown hid behind Popovich and spoke forcefully.

Mo Wen sighed, thinking that the tea would be cool after leaving, but he did not leave yet. He just approached Popovich and lowered his head and said in his ear.

"Jefferson's little moves were ordered by you, right? Bobo, I've played against that guy for six games, don't you know what his style of play is? Hey, this is the first and last warning, don't act in front of me.

If Bowen can do these small things, I can do them; if Bowen can't do them, I can do them too."

"I don't know what you're talking about," Popovich said grimly.

"You don't need to understand, I just need you to remember. I admire Tim (Duncan) very much, and I don't want to see him get injured for no reason one day."

Mo Wen turned around, still smiling, but there was undisguised malice in his eyes.

Although Jefferson's playing in the Eastern Conference semifinals was not clean, he was not so dirty that he stepped on his feet and elbowed his face. If Mo Wen hadn't been very experienced, he might have fallen into this trap.

"Coach...my ankle seems to be a little sprained. I think I need to take leave and go to the hospital for a check-up."

After resting for half of the game, Jefferson felt the discomfort in his ankle getting stronger and stronger. After the game, he limped and went to the coaching staff.

Popovich felt a chill rising from his tailbone to Tianling Gai, and he shivered subconsciously.

He had been staring at Mo Wen and Jefferson in the first half, when!

·····

Back in the locker room, Harris and Yunus were still reviewing the players. It could be seen that everyone was not very interested.

"Practice your body well, Fangyu. Marbury, who is half a head shorter than you and ten pounds lighter than you, can easily beat you from behind. If you eat so much meat every day, you won't gain strength."

Mo Wen kicked Zhu Fangyu's butt, which he had wanted to kick just now.

"Ah um, hehe...it's time to practice."

Zhu Fangyu smiled unnaturally and touched the back of his head to hide his embarrassment.

"You too are Xiao Wei. The defenders of Chou Country haven't picked up the strength yet. You are so embarrassed. You still dare to brag to me. Haha, if you can't hold the ball in an international competition one day, our fans will die if you don't.

you!"

Mo Wen is here to cooperate with the coach to help the young players point out their shortcomings.

On the other side of the locker room, several old players lowered their heads and talked quietly.

"Looking at Nanzi, I will start to seize power now."

"If someone plays well, he is naturally qualified to speak." Although Li Nan was a little unhappy, he also understood the overall situation.

"Just don't bother me by trying to step on the horse. If you have some achievements and just step on the horse, you feel great. You really want to be a big brother. Let's try to work on the horse for two years first." There was a bit of contempt in the tone of a certain center. He actually wanted to see it.

Let’s see if Mo Wen dares to come up with their “no”.

Of course, Mo Wen didn't think about looking for them. It wasn't that he was afraid of them, but he just didn't think it was necessary. Most of these people wouldn't make it to the 2008 Olympics anyway, so he had to look for hope from these young players.

After the game, the men's basketball team packed up and returned home.

For the sake of the players' physical strength, the team did not arrange high-intensity training. After returning to China, Dayao was taken away by people from the General Administration for two days of rehearsals - Dayao will be the flag bearer of the Chinese team in the opening ceremony.

Although Mo Wen is very famous now, compared with Yao who grew up within the system, he is still not as friendly as he is.

On August 1st, the Chinese men's basketball team arrived in Athens before the large team arrived.

The men's basketball warm-up match began in early August. The Chinese team, which had just overcome the time difference, faced Serbia and Montenegro in its first warm-up match.

Serbia and Montenegro, which won the World Championships in 2002, were not full of players like the Dream Team. The original main players of the team, Divac and Peja, were just like those American players who were afraid of death. Milicic was the unlucky kid.

I originally had the opportunity to participate in the Olympics, but I was so excited that I forgot to bring my gloves and broke my middle finger in the boxing gym - so it is still very important to take safety measures in many cases.

Although they are short of major generals, Serbia and Montenegro still have a strong presence and are still the favorites to win the championship. But what they didn’t expect was that the Chinese team surprised everyone. After halftime, the Chinese team was able to lead Serbia and Montenegro by 7 points!

As Harris continued to substitute players for training, Serbia and Montenegro quickly took the lead in scoring. However, considering that Mo Wen and Dayao did not play for a few minutes in the second half, this situation was exciting enough.

In the next few warm-up games, the men's basketball team actually went on a 6-game winning streak. In addition to winning against teams like Sweden, France, and Turkey that just came to join in the fun without Olympic qualifications, they also won against Angola.

, Australia and Puerto Rico are the three teams in Group B.

After six consecutive victories, fans on the other side of the world were high, and many Chinese team players were also high.

"Brother Yao, are you sure you don't want to shave? Then the unshaven look will reflect the image of the delegation?"

After the daily training, Mo Wen joked to Yao in the empty arena that this big kid actually put up a flag in front of reporters two days ago - if the men's basketball team does not advance to the quarterfinals, he will not shave for half a year.

"Don't you also say that I'm a bit naive now, and growing a beard won't make me look more mature."

Dayao touched his prickly beard. There is still a week until the opening ceremony. His beard does not grow fast and he should be able to hold on until then.

"Sister Ye agrees?"

"Humph, I still need her consent!?" Dayao puffed out his chest.

"Hey, the person you're talking to is not around, so what you say is tough." Mo Wen had seen Dayao's posture in front of Ye Li, and his voice wasn't half as strong as before.

"Hey, you're looking for trouble, aren't you?"

Yao Ming stood up and was about to kick Mo Wen's butt, but Mo Wen avoided it with a nimble move.

"You guy, you have the temper to kick me, don't you dare to find trouble with them, right?" Mo Wen, who had distanced himself, turned back and taunted Yao Ming.

"What - what do you mean?" Yao Ming stopped joking and his mood suddenly dropped.

"Don't you know what I mean?" Mo Wen shook his sweat-soaked jersey.

"The old ones, the old ones, the young ones, they all started to drift off after a taste of the benefits. We stayed here every day to practice more. Those who didn't know better thought we were about to be laid off."

"I'm just a newcomer here, and I don't have much relationship with them. According to the rules, there are some things I shouldn't say, but if you really can't speak, I can help you, but you have to know that I have spoken.

My interest in this matter has changed.”

"The higher authorities chose you to be the flag bearer, not to be a hen protecting the chickens, but to be a wolf. This wolf must first bite all the wolf cubs behind it before it can show its claws."

Mo Wen actually wanted to cut the knot quickly and give the team's old guys who were "little rich and prosperous" and the newcomers who had been lazy in training a hard time, but he couldn't. His casual attacks could only destroy the team's members.

It's become even more rigid. Don't ask why, it's a Chinese characteristic.

This first shot can only be fired by Yao Ming, a "local" with a good reputation, so that he can keep up with the output.

Yao Ming, who was standing aside, was silent and lost in thought. From a perceptual point of view, after all, the team's performance is good now, so there is no need to engage in unpleasant things.

But reason told him that if the Chinese men's basketball team wants to achieve better results in the Olympics, it is necessary for Mo Wen to pop the "pustule" in advance.

On August 15, the first game of the men’s basketball team started.

Dayao left the field with 5 fouls in the last 3 minutes (FIBA foul limit is 5), leaving Mo Wen struggling to support from the outside. Finally, under a three-person double team, he passed the ball to the open Li Nan and shot, 80:86

, the Chinese team lost the game by 6 points.

Mo Wen and Yao Ming were able to help the team keep the score in the first half. They took a 5-minute break in the third quarter and the team was beaten 13-1 by Gasol. When they came back again,

The others seemed to have lost their souls and were completely out of shape. In the second half, the Chinese team scored 36 points, including 13 points from Yao Ming and 19 points from Mo Wen. The others took 14 shots in total and only scored 4 points.

Mo Wen has fought against bad teams and led bad teams in the dungeon space, but the spirit shown by the current Chinese team is rare.

He recalled the fear of being dominated by the ELO mechanism in his previous life, the kind of "Giant Young Master" who would give up when encountering some setbacks, but still had no hope of a comeback, and in the end he lost more freely than he won.

"I'm not sorry today, I'm not disappointed, I'm very disappointed! I don't know why. It makes me so sad. I don't know if some of our team members are nervous or afraid to take responsibility?

Mo and I took on what we could bear, and we both tried our best. But as a whole, we just changed our skins, and our hearts as a whole were still the same as those of the last World Championships, and we would give up whenever we encountered setbacks.

We feel sorry for those old players who have been eliminated, they will work harder than us!

I will no longer be silent, I will no longer explode in silence, and I will perish in silence!"

In the mixed interview area, Yao Ming slapped the table and roared in front of the world's media cameras.

I didn’t lose much in the game, but I lost too much, and it was too frustrating.

Except for him and Mo Wen, every player on the field seemed to be committing a crime!

After hearing Dayao's words in the audience, Mo Wen smiled sincerely.

Then he moved his shoulders and elbows while walking towards the locker room.

"The one who steps on the horse will lose 6 points. What are you pretending to do? If you step on the horse too much, you will grow two centimeters. Do you really think he is a big brother?"

"Nanzi, please don't pull me. I'll have to tell him when he comes back later. It's not like the guys who stepped on the horse didn't do anything. How can he pretend to be a good person?"

Battle cursed while tying his shoelaces.

Of course, in addition to him, there were several veterans who were also muttering nearby. Although their voices were not loud, they could still be heard complaining.

Indeed, losing by only 6 points, against a strong team like Spain, doesn't seem to be a big deal.

At this time, a handsome boy leaned against the door of the locker room and knocked.

"If you think you performed well today, please stay in the locker room. Others who know how bad they are, get out... well, go out and practice now!"

As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the locker room dropped by 5 degrees.

"You kid, what's your tone? Damn it, who do you think you are? You have some achievements, aren't you? Look at you. You kid, if you want to be beaten, just say so!?"

Battle patted the stool and pointed at Mo Wen with raised eyebrows.

"Everyone else, get out!"

Mo Wen's voice also turned cold.

"Xiao Mo, don't make any noise on the bus. If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk. There will be a game later..."

Li Nan stood in front of Mo Wen as the peacemaker.

"Brother Nan, please go out and guard the door for us. Don't let others see the joke."

"Everyone who steps on the horse should get out. Labor and management still have to deal with this kid today!"

The younger ones bowed their heads and left the locker room early, and the older ones also pulled Li Nan away.

"Let them fight. This kid doesn't understand the rules. What we fought today is just bullshit. We will tell you who is right and who is wrong after they finish fighting."

Du Feng said next to Li Nan.

"Damn it, don't do it. If you go back to a fight now, you will definitely be punished. Besides, what if you get injured?"

Li Nan broke free from everyone's pull, but Mo Wen had already closed the door and locked it.

"Those who step on horses, those who step on horses. If you like to talk about those who step on horses, it's because your mother didn't educate you well, right?"

"I'm sorry!"

peng——

"Come on, come on, if you're awesome, just say something to me again."

"Fuck! If it weren't for labor's back injury——"

"You have a waist injury, come here and I'll give you an arm!"

Bang, dong, snap, tap——

After finishing the interview, Dayao walked towards the locker room lonely.

Half of what he felt now was the pleasure of relief, usually the feeling of guilt after hurting others. When he got off the interview table, the coach didn't talk to him, the team leader didn't talk to him, and his teammates were probably about the same.

What Dayao didn't expect was that Meng, a player in the men's basketball team, was waiting for his return on both sides of the locker room.

"Everyone..."

At that moment, Dayao's eyes became moist.

Bang--

The door to the locker room was kicked open by Mo Wen.

A refreshed Mo Wen walked out of the locker room and raised his eyebrows at the men's basketball team members standing in the aisle.

"Didn't I ask you to go practice football? Why are you just standing here?"

Several old players ran into the locker room, while the younger players ran out as if they were frightened.

Dayao:???

"Have you finished the interview? Let's go and eat."

Mo Wen grabbed Dayao's jersey and walked out.

"No, what happened? Why are everyone... so weird?" Dayao looked back at the locker room with the door open, vaguely guessing.

"It's solved, everything is solved."

Mo Wen spat, and there was still some blood in it, but he was not careful. In the end, Ba Sing's elbow rubbed his cheek, causing his teeth to rupture the oral mucosa.

In the dressing room, the bus huddled in the corner.

"Daba, are you... not dead?"

Li Nan was worried and wanted to set up the bus.

"Don't move...it hurts..."

Ba Sing waved his hands slightly.

"Damn it, that guy was so cruel?" Du Feng took a breath in disbelief.

"No... no... I fell on my own, it was all on my own."

Ba Xinghao gritted his teeth, revealing his face with panda eyes.

"You're just stepping on a horse and causing this to fall on your own?"

"Don't mention horse riding, my eyes hurt." Battle wiped his tears. It's not like he was spineless, that bastard punched his tear duct!

5K, the compensation update is finished, there will be another update before lunch tomorrow
