basketball never sleeps

Chapter 59 It’s very simple, just give the ball to the strongest person!

In this bronze medal game, Mo Wen made 11 of 23 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, scored 31 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Dayao made 11 of 19 shots and 4 of 4 free throws.

, scored 26 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The third best performer in the team is Li Nan. He has clearly defined his position after training in Chouguo. It is what Mo Wen calls 3D. He usually practices catching and shooting and fixed-point three-pointers during training in the team. In this game, he shot

All 9 times were three-pointers, 4 of 9 shots, and 12 points.

Zhu Fangyu's current three-point stability is still not good, but he still scored 8 points in this game by relying on one-handed cuts.

Other players such as Arab League, Moko, Liu Wei, and Du Feng also received bits and pieces of points.

The original intention of the men's basketball team at the beginning was to train, but when it came time to compete for honors, the training had to be put aside.

On the podium, they hung bronze medals on their chests, and when they watched the national flag rising slowly in front of them, Mo Wen, who had always been indifferent and calm, couldn't help but become moved.

Mo Wen was also excited and excited when the Pistons won the Finals, but the joy that winning the championship brought him was not even greater than when he saw Larry Brown being thrown to the ground and crying in front of the camera.

Because he already knew the ending, and there was not much suspense throughout the entire series.

But today's achievements were all achieved by him and Dayao, and the joy of the harvest, the pride of breaking the original history, made his soul tremble with joy.

Athletes in front of the camera can still keep calm for the sake of image, but in China late at night, they cannot keep quiet.

Building bombings once again occurred across the country. Even though it was already eleven o'clock in the night, excited people rushed to the streets and celebrated loudly.

There were trumpeters, singers, firecrackers, and drunkards. The neighbors who were woken up last time were prepared this time. Most of them also watched the game today, although they didn't understand much about basketball.

How it was played, but they also knew that the Chinese team defeated the United States. Listening to the cries of the commentators in front of the TV, they also knew that the young men in red clothes had done something great.

Mo Wen, that "low-key" dad, customized a five-mile-long firecracker, contacted the traffic police in their county to seal the road, and set up four lines from one end of the local commercial street to the other, so that the firecrackers would be full

I ran back and forth 2 times.

"Three hundred and sixty years ago, he was the number one pick. I didn't expect that playing basketball would really make this little kid famous. That's right. This kid has always followed me since he was a child. When labor and management were fighting Yankees in Baekje

It’s also this kind of momentum, hey, riding a horse, this kid really makes his grandpa look proud.”

"Dad, I remember you said before that Awen has a ball for playing ball?" Mowen's father, Mo Jianhe, put his head over and said.

"Go away, you brat, if you had half the courage of your son, you wouldn't be able to stay in this small county town forever!"

"How could you say that? You didn't mean it at the beginning..." Seeing his old father raising his walking stick, Mo Jianhe decisively chose to shut up.

······

"How did you feel when you won the game against the Dream Team?" A Chinese reporter held up a microphone and interviewed Mo Wen.

After winning the game, Harris lifted the gag order on the men's basketball team. Now almost every member of the men's basketball team has at least three or four interviewers in front of them. Of course, Mo Wen and Dayao have the most people surrounding them.

In addition, they both speak English, and some foreign reporters are crowding in front of them at the moment.

"How do you feel? Now I feel like I'm looking for someone to pinch his thigh to make sure I'm not dreaming, hahaha. Actually, everyone has their own story of struggle. I'm a relatively lucky person. I didn't struggle much.

I have my own story."

It still smells familiar! There were reporters present on the night when the Pistons won the championship. Listening to Mo Wen’s familiar style of speech, he couldn’t help but twitch his eyelids.

"You, Italy, and Argentina have broken the U.S. team's dominance of men's basketball medals. What do you think of the strength of each team?" asked another Chinese reporter next to him.

"There is nothing to say about this. We have played against Argentina in the group stage. They are indeed strong and deserve the championship. The American team is not weak, but they are just a little unlucky. The strength of the Chinese team

They were still weak in the semi-finals. They were able to beat the US team because everyone had a good feel. The whole team was united and persevered to the end... As for Italy, their strength is also good, especially with some other factors, they are definitely world-class.

, I won’t make any other comments.”

When Mo Wen speaks, he should be pragmatic and seek truth from facts, neither criticize nor praise, be impartial and yin and yang.

"Excuse me, you didn't shoot in time on the last ball, but you looked at coach Larry Brown and shrugged provocatively at him, and after the game, you made the gesture to ask him to leave. Are you mocking the Dream Six Team?

?" An American reporter who had been waiting aside for a long time spoke first.

"No, no, no, I think you must have misunderstood something. I didn't shoot in time because I was pressing for time. I respect the American team and don't want to give the American team the slightest chance to create a miracle. And shrugging is just to relax me before shooting.

The tense muscles, as for the final action towards Coach Brown, were not asking him to leave the game, but an invitation to him."

"As you know, BJ will hold the Olympics in 2008, so I am sending an invitation to coach Larry Brown. If you don't believe it, you can ask him. I also told him at the time."

"The Dream Six Team is very strong. If you pick any one of them, they will not be weaker than me, but the training time is too short. As you know, coach Larry Brown is old and there is an observation period when appointing players.

, I had to sit on the bench for half a season before I could play, and Dak has not had stable playing time for a year, so I hope everyone will be more tolerant of the elderly and give him another chance."

Looking at Mo Wen with a sincere face, the American reporter rubbed his temples. There was nothing wrong with what Mo Wen said before, but the more he talked about Larry Brown later, the more he felt something was wrong.

"What are your goals for the 2008 Olympics?" the Chinese reporter next to him seized the opportunity and asked quickly.

"If there is an element of luck in this delisting, my goal is that in 2008 we will stand on the podium completely relying on our strength. Of course, this is difficult, especially because we need more talents to support us, like the team members

A Lian, Fang Yu and others, as well as some domestic potential newcomers, it will be better for them to practice more in high-intensity leagues abroad than to do it behind closed doors in China."

Mo Wen didn't know how much weight he and Dayao would have in their conversation now. Anyway, if the men's basketball team that had already achieved such results didn't want to be embarrassed again in 2008, sending people out was a necessary step.

In terms of the intensity of the CBA league and the number of games, it is still far from the first-class sports leagues. Not to mention going to the NBA, it is not bad to come to Europe to train.

Transforming the CBA or NBL? This matter has to wait until he or Dayao retires. With their current status as white men, they can be framed heroes. Other things are difficult to do.

Mo Wen was still trying to be as "humble" as possible here, while the coaching staff of Dayao and Harris next to him praised Mo Wen to the sky.

After several rounds of games, under the background of other "cheating" teammates, Dayao simply couldn't imagine the consequences of not having Mo Wen. He was not afraid of playing against two or three people in the inside, but he was afraid of leaving open teammates on the outside.

And not talking about skills, just in terms of winning mentality and professional attitude, packing up other members of the Chinese team and doing a super double is not necessarily as good as Mo Wen.

Without Mo Wen reminding him to lose his temper, and without Mo Wen's showdown with Bus in the locker room, the men's basketball team might not be able to integrate now.

Of course, Harris feels this aspect more deeply than Dayao.

It’s not like Harris has never seen unprofessional players in the NBA, but you have to have outstanding mental familiarity and physical attributes to be selected in the NBA. So when Mo Wen was training before returning, he faced some old scalpers.

The male basketball player who took a step with a whip was very tired.

Fortunately, Mo Wen came and rescued him from this quagmire.

"What's the secret of coaching the Chinese men's basketball team? It's very simple, it's to give the ball to the strongest person!"

Dayao is very strong, but in Harris's heart, Mo Wen has taken Dayao's place. In other words, men's hearts are all changed by eels.

The International Basketball Association finally evaluated the best lineup of the men's basketball team - Dayao, Galanda (Italy), Mo Wen, Ginobili, Iverson.

Originally, Iverson was not on the list, but in the end, the International Basketball Association gave him a face because of Stern's presence.

At the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, Yao Ming and Ye Li showed off their affection in front of the whole world, which became the last news in this Olympic Games.

On the plane, Mo Wen found Harris and hoped that he could negotiate a formal contract with the Basketball Association.

When Harris came to coach the men's basketball team, he didn't receive any salary, but received $20,000 in travel expenses and room and board subsidies. With this small amount of money, in order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the men's basketball team, Harris also spent his own money to provide support for the male basketball players who performed well.

Bonuses - of course Mo Wen and Dayao don't have any, and they wouldn't even look at one or two hundred dollars.

Mo Wen is not saying that Yunus is not good, but Harris’s personality, which is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, is actually more suitable for coaching the men’s basketball team. He understands the basic ways of the world, is dignified and principled, and has passable professional abilities, especially in layout.

In defensive tactics.

At least until it gets on the right track, domestic major sports are not suitable for local people to coach.

Harris hesitated for a moment and then agreed. Historically, a big reason why he left was that he hated iron and steel. Even though the Chinese team had Mo Wen, he could still see hope and feel the challenge.

At the pick-up ceremony for the Olympic athletes returning home, they got off the plane first with cheers after winning the gold medal, holding flowers in their arms with a spring breeze on their faces. The silver medalists followed closely with a sigh. Although the bronze medalists were at the bottom, they were still able to walk through the front door. Finally,

The men's basketball team getting off the plane also played the role of the finale. The cheers they received were louder than those of many previous gold medal athletes.

On the stairs, Dayao waved his hands to both sides and patted Mo Wen on the shoulder.

The two looked at each other and smiled in understanding.

There are endless interviews and countless invitations.

Mo Wen, who originally wanted to be a waste at home for a few days, realized that time is so precious.

He is also the main player in the NBA championship and the bronze medalist in the men's basketball team. In addition, he is handsome and has a reasonably tall height. Mo Wen is so popular in China that he himself cannot even imagine.

Fortunately, Dayao and Liu Xiang helped him share the firepower. Even so, Mo Wen still kept busy for more than a week.

Fortunately, Pat Riley wanted to negotiate a contract with him and saved his life.

Originally, Pat Riley wasn't that anxious, but the Cavaliers management played a "sacrifice himself to entertain the public" drama, which made Riley a little bit unable to sit still.

Boozer was a second-round pick and signed a three-year "2+1" contract (the first two years were guaranteed, and the third year was a team option). In order to keep Boozer, the Cavaliers management expressed their feelings for Boozer.

Respect, after some discussions with his agent, they decided to terminate Boozer's second-round pick contract, renew it in advance, and let Boozer get a big contract that matches his worth earlier.

As a result, Boozer's second-round pick contract had just been terminated by the Cavaliers, and the Jazz sent him a higher signing offer. Then Boozer didn't have any nostalgia, didn't look back, and decisively signed with the Jazz.

After signing that contract, the Cavaliers management didn't even have a chance to match it.
