basketball never sleeps

Chapter 73 The Swamp Jumper has seen through everything!

On November 17, before the game, the Pistons simply held a small ring awarding ceremony for Mo Wen.

"Let's once again thank this young man for his contributions to Detroit and give us some cheers guys!"

In the court, Mo Wen raised the hand with the championship ring and waved it. Sparse applause and sporadic cheers came from around the palace of Auburn Hills. When his name was mentioned again, the atmosphere at the scene was different.

That night five months ago was completely different.

The passion of Detroiters has long been diluted by time. Although they will still talk about this championship in front of others, more people are focusing on the next trophy.

The players in the Pistons' team now are their favorites

What's more, the conflict between Mo Wen and Lao Shuai has been discovered by various major media and small newspapers, and it has been put on the stage in a very shameful way.

After hugging the Pistons staff one by one, Mo Wen came to Larry Brown.

Before their palms even touched each other, they involuntarily pulled away.

Mo Wen smiled lightly and didn't say anything. He just turned around and hugged his brothers from last season.

When he walked in front of Billups, Mo Wen strangled his neck severely.

"I won't hold back tonight."

"That's just right, everyone is also looking forward to your performance."

After saying that, the two of them slapped each other hard on the back.

······

Looking at Mo Wen's ring that was being passed around by everyone, O'Neill wanted to maintain a free and easy attitude, but after holding it in for a long time, he still found that he couldn't let go.

"Do you mind showing it to me?"

O'Neill put his big hand on Mo Wen's shoulder.

"Whatever."

Mo Wen shrugged and indicated that the ring was with Wade.

Sensing O'Neal's gaze, Wade reluctantly handed the ring to O'Neal.

The Pistons' championship ring is quite simple, with a gold polished ring and a ring face decorated with diamonds and yellow diamonds to piece together the Pistons team name and the O'Brien Trophy.

Those with high EQ said: This ring incorporates a simple style and blue-collar temperament; those with low EQ said: The student graduates are better than this.

"Let me tell you, Mo, this ring is much uglier than the other three made by the Lakers."

O'Neal said a little sourly while holding the ring.

"It doesn't matter, I won't only have this ring in my life anyway."

Mo Wen said indifferently. This tone made the eyes of the Heat players jump when they heard this.

"Do you know which one is the most beautiful among all the championship rings?"

Mo Wen asked his teammates.

"That ruby ​​ring from the Bulls in 1993?"

"No, the ring that the Bulls won for six consecutive championships is pretty nice too."

"The ring that the Pistons won the championship in 1990 is not bad either."

The Heat players have different opinions. Although these guys don't have a single ring, it does not prevent them from becoming knowledgeable brothers in this regard.

But Shaq was thoughtful, looking at Mo Wen's vague smile, he was convinced of the answer in his heart.

"Which ring is the most beautiful, of course - the next one." O'Neal, who wanted to understand, stretched out his hand in front of Mo Wen.

Snapped--

Looking at the two people high-fiving each other in unison, Wade suddenly felt like he was a little redundant.

······

At the beginning of the game, the Pistons still started with the starting five: Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Rasheed and Ben.

As for the Heat, after changing their center starting position for 7 games, they finally have a confirmed candidate after O'Neal returns.

Heat starting lineup: Wade, Mo Wen, Rasul, Haslem, O'Neal.

ESPN arranged for the national live broadcast of this game, but unfortunately, Yangma did not broadcast this game, but there is a high probability that it will be broadcast on Saturday.

After losing weight, O'Neal showed his restored athletic ability through this jump ball.

Rasheed actually lost to O'Neal on the jump ball.

After Haslem caught the ball, he quickly passed it to Mo Wen. He did not rush forward as usual and waited for O'Neal to get into position.

Although O'Brien has successfully lost weight, he is still a super-heavy inside line. Last season, the Lakers often defended four to five on the defensive end, because this guy really couldn't run, kept lagging behind, and was extremely slow to get into position.

Mo Wen didn't need to be reminded by the coaching staff. He would slow down the pace when O'Neal was around, because only in positional battles can this big diesel engine truly play his singles and pulling role.

The two Wallaces inside the Pistons did not look down upon this guy because of their winning percentage in the Finals. They would not forget the memory of being soaked in the rain just because they stood in the sun. What's more, O'Neal has become so thin now.

You can tell by looking at it that it's even harder to mess with.

Mo Wen and Wade played a fake handoff screen. After hearing Prince's swaying footsteps behind him, he instantly turned around and started cross-stepping, rushing towards the inside of the Pistons.

Prince was caught off guard and retreated a step too late. He stretched out his long arms because the rules could not stop him like before, so he could only chase after Mo Wen, waiting for the opportunity to come in from behind.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the big man coming from the side and stepped sideways to hit the ball, turning his body sideways and raising his hand to push.

Both Ben and Prince were fooled by this smooth movement. After they both took off, they found that Mo Wen's feet were stuck to the floor. Mo Wen did not choose to step forward to hit the ball himself, but missed it to the side from the baseline.

Haslem rushed over.

Haslem received the ball comfortably, bypassed Ben who had not yet landed, held the ball with both hands, and completed a dunk through the frame.

Rashid, who was facing O'Neal, hesitated for a moment, feeling that he might be more likely to be dunked, so he didn't defend himself.

2:0

Da Ben gritted his teeth and glanced at Mo Wen. After not seeing him for a long time, this "liar" was becoming more and more sophisticated in his methods of committing crimes.

Returning to the Pistons' offensive round, Billups pushed forward steadily as usual. After watching Mo Wen, who was chasing behind Hamilton, found that there was no chance, he set a pick-and-roll with Rashid, and after gaining some distance,

He went straight to the Heat's basket, attracted O'Neal's attention, passed the ball to Rasheed, and missed the jumper.

Among the four power forwards in the original version, Rasheed's name was still there (Duncan, Garnett, Webb, Rasheed), but because he did not have stable offensive ability and weak offensive desire, he was gradually outplayed and exploded.

Scored performance by Nowitzki instead.

The Heat continued their tactics just now.

Mo Wen made another one-on-one gesture. After some confrontation with Prince on the outside, he just found a chance to break through when he was attacked by Prince next to him.

However, he did not give up. After taking a step back to create a little space, he made a fake pass. Prince was swayed away again, but Billups was not deceived and stared at him.

Got him.

Mo Wen made another quick shooting motion, but his feet did not jump up, and his wrists suddenly slowed down before pressing them.

Billups raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but simply blocked his hand in front of the basketball and made no next move.

Do you really think that anyone can be fooled?

Mo Wen can shoot with both hands. Billups, who often trained with Mo Wen in the past, knows that he has this unique skill, but he doesn't usually use it.

Want to trick him and then shoot back? The Swampert has seen through everything!

But Mo Wen in front of him smiled slightly, flicked his forearm and wrist, and threw the ball.

The basketball drew a low arc and flew towards the basket. It hit the inner edge of the basket and did not bounce outward. It shivered twice at a very fast frequency in the middle of the basket before falling into the net bag.

.

"Thanks, Chauncey."

Mo Wen waved his hand, turned around and ran towards the front court.

4:0

Billups opened his eyes in disbelief. He saw Mo Wen's arm slowing down. How could he still throw it so smoothly in the end?

Have you made any progress again, or were you hiding something before?

Billups touched his chin, and the fighting spirit in his eyes grew stronger.

In the Pistons' offensive round, Hamilton found a little space on the baseline after being screened by Double Wallace. He caught the ball and completed the shot before Mo Wen blocked the shot. However, he was interfered with and the top of the shooting arc was a little wider, flying directly to the backboard.

above.

Rasheed wanted to compete for the ball and dunk, but was suppressed by O'Neal's merciless slap, and the basketball was slapped to the side.

After Rasul saw the ball, he threw it to Wade who was already flying forward.

Billups couldn't catch up and could only watch helplessly as Wade completed the dunk and hung the frame.

6:0

Larry Brown on the sidelines had already frowned. Why does this game feel a little wrong?

In the next offensive round, Billups decided to play first to be sure.

He kept standing in front of Wade, with his center of gravity very low, and kept changing hands under his hips. After testing twice, he suddenly broke through with his right foot, half-turned around and made a leaning posture, paused, and shook his shoulders at the same time.

After Wade's hesitation, he dropped his elbow and threw his arm, and instantly got rid of Wade's defense and rushed inside.

Seeing O'Neal returning to defense, Billups changed hands for another layup, dodged the block, and barely managed to hit the ball off the board.

6:2

Without enough time to catch his breath, O'Neal picked up the basketball and served the ball quickly.

The Pistons returned to defense quickly and gave the Heat no chance to take advantage of the situation.

Mo Wen did not play alone this time. He saw O'Pang not far from the basket, took a tentative step and attracted the attention of the Pistons, and then passed the ball to O'Pang with a groundstroke.

Except for the last two years of his career, O'Brien's shooting percentage at the basket in the rest of his basketball career is unique in history. The year before he formed the F4 team with the Lakers, O'Pang averaged 9.7 shots at the basket and hit 9.7 shots per game.

The rate can be a terrifying 74.5%.

It is said that three-pointers are highly efficient in scoring. To achieve this efficiency, a three-pointer needs to hit 50%.

Rasheed knew something was wrong when he saw O'Neal get the ball. He couldn't push O'Neal out by himself and was about to give up and hide to the side, but the big man made up for it.

Looking at this scene, Mo Wen seemed to have seen the summer when he struggled with his good brothers in the canyon.

Daben: Good brother, hold on, I’m coming!

Rashid: Don't worry, brother, he is angry with blood!

O'Neal: Unmatched power!

As Heat fans cheered in front of the TV, the two Wallaces fell to the ground.

After completing the dunk, O'Neal also took his signature step, patted his chest, and pointed at the camera.

NBA, your big daddy is back!

The fans around him booed, which was quite appropriate.

8:2

"You guys are stealing the spotlight!" Mo Wen hit O'Neal on the shoulder and scolded with a smile.

"Shark is already a superstar, so how can he steal the spotlight? Besides, you have a problem with that old man, but I have a score to settle with the entire Pistons!"

O'Neill took a breath and patted his belly. Did you see that there is no fat in such a big belly, it is full of air?

Turning around, after Billups picked and rolled on the outside, he gave the ball to Rasheed who was passing down. Rasheed took two steps with the ball to attract O'Neal's defense and then threw the ball to Ben.

Ben turned around and went for a layup but was interfered by Haslem and missed the shot, but luckily the referee gave the whistle.

However, Ben felt really bad today and missed two free throws, a tribute to O'Neal.

Wade led the half and then gave it to Mo Wen.

Two steps beyond the three-point line, seeing that Prince was not on guard, Mo Wen rolled his eyes slightly and immediately stopped and took off to shoot.

Prince had never seen Mo Wen play like this before. He was completely unprepared. He only had time to stretch out his hand after watching Mo Wen jump.

Swish——

11:2

Larry Brown finally couldn't help but call a timeout.

Not long after, Mo Wen heard a familiar roar.

Ah.

Sorry, brothers, because I had a sheep a while ago, and I am a little lazy, I don’t have many manuscripts. I originally thought about coding more today; but my family suddenly called me in the morning. The old man in the family was hospitalized because of the sheep, so I took the bus early.

I'm back, but I'm fine now, it's stabilized, and I'll update it as usual. I can't make it tonight, so that's all. I'll try my best not to update it later.

The results of the first order are good. In my current state, I will definitely write full-time. However, the coding speed is relatively slow. I hope you can forgive me.

Currently 3 chapters are owed (free daily chapters) + 22,000 words (promise to be updated frequently) + 2 chapters (rewards and monthly tickets are owed)
