basketball never sleeps

Chapter 9 Old Brown with malicious intentions

Although Detroit and Toronto are located in two separate countries, they are actually very close to each other. They are more than 200 kilometers apart and can be reached by car in one morning. Many people say that Toronto is a "bitter and cold place". Mo Wen compared it and said that it is about to go bankrupt.

Detroit obviously fits this term better.

Mo Wen thought he would see the legendary "Cannabis Flyer" when he arrived at the training camp, but when he arrived, he discovered that there were only a few rookies selected by the Raptors in recent years and their accompanying trainers.

"Vince (Carter)? He got engaged recently. He and his fiancée are checking out where to hold the wedding. It's impossible for him to accompany us bachelors."

"You should be the biggest player in this training camp. You've been in the limelight recently. I heard you've got the No. 1 pick under your control. Hehe, let me try out your skills, which the No. 1 pick said you were good at."

Bosh also wanted to shine in the summer league, but the Raptors were born late in building the team, so he could only accompany his future teammates to play macho clashes here.

As a comrade in college, he knew how much Mo Wen weighed. Their college dormitories were in the same dormitory, and they often had duels during team training. Because of the gap in physical talent, Mo Wen

He has always been the one severely suppressed by him.

Unexpectedly, when he went to the summer league, James, who was said to be more talented than him, was abused by his former little brother.

According to this logic, Bosh>Mo Wen>James.

Doesn't this mean that his talent is better than James?

The other Raptors players present were also very curious about Mo Wen. There are not many Asian players in the NBA now. Daba and Daba were marginal substitutes last year, and they didn’t have much presence when they met him. But from last year’s

Yao Ming's login has officially brought Asian stars into the public eye.

Because Mo Wen was a friend of Bosh, a high-ranking rookie, there wasn't any idiot who would jump out to provoke him.

Many black people in the NBA are children from slums. The lack of education may limit their cognition, but it will not limit their basic IQ and EQ. Moreover, none of the players present are stars and cannot be used to bad tempers.

Of course, there are definitely necessary competitions, and there are still three hurdles to pass to get to Weihu Mountain. Basketball will never lack competition.

Bosh stood in front of Mo Wen again. He thought this one-on-one game would be as simple as it was in college, but as he was playing, he realized that something was wrong with him.

strangeness!

Unfamiliar intensity of confrontation, unfamiliar style of play.

Only the face is still a familiar face, but the person is no longer the same person.

Mo Wen: "Show your skills, Plesiosaur, but that's not enough!"

Bosh: "Shut up! I'll blow you up this round!"

Mo Wen: "You don't want to imitate Sir Ba's back slap on your skinny ass. I don't dare to use force, for fear that I will push you away."

Bosh: "Fu*k off, if you believe it or not, I'll chop it up for you!"

Mo Wen: "By the way, are you smearing butter on your hands? Why can't you catch the ball firmly?"

Bosh: "Hua Q, when did you become so shameless, grabbing a ball and then scratching someone!?"

Seeing Bosh's embarrassed appearance in front of him, Mo Wen felt that all the hardships were rewarded. There was a time when he was so helpless in front of Bosh.

He even had the illusion that the suffering he endured in the dungeon felt... worth it at this moment!

Bah, bah, bah, where are you? Just beating Bosh, who is not even the Dragon King.

His target is the NBA stars!

Bosh will be beaten dizzy. Although Mo Wen was good at defense in college, due to the gap in talent, he could always find opportunities to break Mo Wen's defense.

He can break through, shoot from the outside, and make strong shots from mid-range. Although Mo Wen can provide interference, the effect is very limited.

But today, something went wrong. He couldn't break in, he was hit hard with his back, his strong throw was interfered with again and again, and there were endless little moves that he had never seen before.

Mo Wen seemed to have been strengthened in all aspects from his body to his skills, and he was able to do things that were unfamiliar to him.

Until the one-on-one match ended with the score of 11:2, Bosh still couldn't believe that he would be tortured so badly by Mo Wen.

"Tell me the truth, were you bitten by a spider, caught by a werewolf, or drank the blood of a vampire?!"

Panting, Bosh sat on the ground and asked Mo Wen in disbelief.

"You have become so strong in half a summer? I obviously broke up with Liya in order to train properly!"

Mo Wen shrugged, "Do you believe me when I say I was captured by a UFO and transformed?"

"real?"

"Haha, I kind of wonder how you got into Georgia Tech."

"Bichi, get out!"

After resting for a while, several other players present also approached Mo Wen for a duel.

Not surprisingly, this group of second- and third-year players with average talent did not benefit from Mo Wen.

"I kind of understand why this year is a big year for the draft. Players of your caliber almost failed to be selected. This draft is really terrible!" Maurice Peterson said with emotion after playing against Mo Wen.

Peterson, who was the Raptors' starting small forward last season, was already able to score 14+4+3 in the NBA, but his matchup with Mo Wen was 50-50. His talent and offensive skills are slightly better than Mo Wen, but

His defense and game experience are not as good as Mo Wen's.

"In the year I was drafted, you might have made it to the first round based on your immediate ability."

Peterson is a first-rounder with average talent but outstanding fighting ability. He has not grown much after playing in the NBA for three years. Last season, he took more shots and scored a new high, but his shooting percentage was the lowest in his career.

Mo Wen just smiled and couldn't respond. His original starting point was too low. He had no health and no experience, so he only grew so fast in the first two months.

Because the upper limit of the initial potential raw stone points is 65, he doesn't have much potential to add points now, but [normal copy] his current strength is not enough, and he has fallen into a bottleneck period.

All he can do is digest it step by step, then eat.

The training camp lasted for more than a month, during which Carter came several times. After a duel with Mo Wen, he even considered poaching Mo Wen when he learned that Mo Wen was only the 58th overall pick, but Mo Wen declined.

If nothing else goes wrong, the Raptors will be a pure bad team next season, far from the Pistons who can just lie down and get the ring. He has already fought hard and lost enough in the dungeon, and he wants to be a bastard.

There is no need to sell one's "happy childhood" in the NBA just for the endorsement contract that comes with a little fame.

Speaking of fame, several Chinese media outlets approached Mo Wen because they couldn't find him, so they approached his agent and wanted to do an exclusive interview. Mo Wen only chose a phone interview from Yang Ma, emphasizing that he had "a red heart and a lot of talent".

The position of "recall must be recalled" has been rejected by other media interviews.

He is very aware of the urinal nature of the domestic media during this period. If he dares to brag, dare to think, dare to speak, he will always be able to predict the future and have a promising future.

The lessons learned from the space crisis in his previous life made him not want to contact the media before he achieved results.

There are big birds in the country. If they are not flying, they will soar into the sky. If they are not singing, they will be great.

In mid-September, Mo Wen was recalled to Detroit by the team's general manager.

Generally speaking, players only start returning to the team for training and preparation for pre-season games in early October.

The reason why the team summoned the players so early is because the team changed coaches this year. The first request of the new official Larry Brown is to have the players gather early. He needs to inspect the player lineup, formulate tactics, and prepare for Duma.

Si provided the direction of reinforcement trades, and secondly, the handsome white guy that Detroit had been looking forward to all summer came.

After a summer of wrangling, Milicic was finally redeemed for US$4 million. It is said that this amount is based on the redemption price of Chairman Yao last year.

From the Pistons' home court at the airport, there are always flashes and cameras recording every move of "Yao Ming".

After leaving the chaotic Serbia and Montenegro and signing a big contract, Milicic has never seen a smile on his face. At the press conference, both Dumars and Larry Brown were full of praise for the second-place pick who just completed the contract.

The only minor disagreement in the harmonious atmosphere was that Dumas said Milicic would become the next Dirk (Nowitzki), while Larry Brown said he would train Milicic to be the next (Philippines)

Newton) Russell.

But not many people care about this. Anyway, one is the current All-Star and the other is the Ancient Lord of the Rings. You can become either one.

Milicic's smiling face lasted until the second day he joined the Pistons.

On September 16, except for a few players who had not returned from a long trip, the Pistons had assembled.

After the usual routine of getting to know the players of the new team and saying hello, today's main event is finally about to begin.

Larry Brown and other staff members unanimously focused their attention on the tall, slightly nervous white man in the middle.

"Who is that? Oh, Wen, come and have a one-on-one match with Dak (Milicic) first."

Mo Wen looked up, their eyes met, and he saw four big words in the old man's eyes - with bad intentions.
