basketball never sleeps

Chapter 7 NBA is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger

James stared at the flying basketball and Mo Wen's slightly harsh teasing in a daze for a second.

Why did this soft persimmon give him a big fight when he came up?

"Don't be complacent about the second-round pick, I will let you know why I am the No. 1 pick!" James snorted coldly and clenched his fist.

James has a high emotional intelligence but is not a good guy. People who can really make a name for themselves in competitive sports have a temper.

Sula next to him quickly grabbed the ball with quick eyes and hands, and rushed to the Cavaliers' half court with sparks and lightning, completing what he thought was an elegant dunk.

Sura thought he would attract cheers from the audience, but when he looked up, he found that the attention and the head coach's eyes were still focused on James and Mo Wen.

"Not bad, not bad, a good prospect, a really good prospect. If he is more talented, he can definitely be trained into a defensive powerhouse."

The pinnacle of Woodson's expectations for a player like Mo Wen, who doesn't seem to have much talent, is defense.

Glancing at the deflated No. 1 pick, Woodson nodded with satisfaction.

"No. 1 pick? He's still a bit tender."

James could feel that Mo Wen's defense was very sophisticated, and rationally said that he should observe and wait for a few rounds before considering singles, but looking at the unconcealed smile on the corner of Mo Wen's mouth, his anger was rising.

Laugh, right? Let’s see if you can still laugh after a while.

Here comes the ball!~

As soon as James waved, the Cavaliers point guard holding the ball passed the ball over, then ran to the side and stood still expressionlessly.

Cavaliers point guard: I, the passing machine, don’t have any emotions!

This round, it’s still a singles match.

All eyes were focused on the two men dueling at the top of the arc.

The surrounding fans were also a lot quieter. 1V1 men's battles and duels like cowboys have always been the most favorite part of the Ugly Country audience.

If a ball is accidental, will James hit back next?

"James holds the ball as a triple threat and makes continuous probing steps, but the Asian kid guarding him doesn't seem to be too cold."

"Side! James broke through from the right side, was stopped, changed direction..., was stopped again, and the Asian No. 66 reached out to steal, oh, almost. I think James should pass the ball."

"Without passing the ball, he broke through and turned around? It didn't seem to be of much use. He still couldn't get around the Asian man. He wanted to take a shot under the interference, dang! It really fell down."

"I have to say, that Asian guy's defense is really good. What's his name? Wen? Win! What a good name."

"What, he is No. 58 in this year's draft, the last pick in the draft, and he is still a freshman. He is 19 years old this year. Oh, haha, I think it is not good news for James."

The last words of the commentator on the sidelines had an inexplicable charm, and the audience could hear them very clearly.

"A 19-year-old Asian guarded James?"

"His defense is really good. James seems to have no chance against him."

"James, you are the number one pick, come on! Come on and make some difference!"

James was almost thrown off guard by the commentator on the sidelines. He took a deep breath and looked at Mo Wenshi with eyes full of recognition and fear.

He could feel the difference in speed and strength between Mo Wen and himself.

But for Mo Wenjiu to cause him so much trouble despite the obvious talent gap, that can only mean one thing.

Mo Wen has very strong defensive skills!

At least he is much better than the so-called "big brother" Ricky Davis on his team.

James was invited to participate in the Cavaliers' team training game in May last year. The Cavaliers were fined $150,000 for this incident.

He feels this way.

But Ramond Murray is a veteran golfer who has been playing for 8 years!

NBA is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!

During the Pistons position battle, Okur faced Boozer and hit a simple mid-range shot, widening the point difference.

When he came back again, James originally wanted to try a pick-and-roll, but his unwillingness made him once again start a singles stance.

He didn't believe that he really couldn't beat this Asian man. In the two singles just now, he could feel that he was just a little bit close, just a little bit short, and he could tear apart Mo Wen's defense.

This time, James tried his best and took full advantage of his physical advantages. He finally hit the basket and was about to take a shot when the buzzer sounded.

24 seconds violation!

No one expected such a result. Under Mo Wen's defense, James swerved left and right, turned around, and fought back with his crotch. James used almost all the moves he could do, but he still couldn't break away from Mo Wen.

Smell this "net".

"Pick and roll, James!"

The Cavaliers coach shouted from the side, but he did not call a timeout. Calling a timeout at this time showed distrust of James.

James lowered his head and ran back. He has a high emotional intelligence and can figure out the current situation when he calms down a little.

There can be no more one-on-one fights, because...he can't afford to lose.

He didn't even get a foul in three one-on-ones. Even if he succeeded in one-on-one, the Pistons players who were eyeing him didn't seem like they would let him go.

On the Pistons side, Mo Wen has become a big star, and several players who were defeated by Mo Wen in a one-on-one match are the happiest at the moment.

They were guarded to death by Mo Wen, and James was guarded to death by Mo Wen. Doesn't that mean they are roughly equal to James?

Pistons general manager Dumars, who was watching the game at home, was already wondering whether to call Cavaliers general manager Paxson.

After the draft, Paxson often complained in front of the general managers of Eastern Conference teams. Even though the Pistons felt that their second pick was not bad, they were still very covetous of James' talent.

As a result, what is the situation now?

Before his No. 2 pick came out, James was already fucked by the "tool man" and "mascot" he randomly selected.
