basketball never sleeps

Chapter 115
The Spring Festival battle is on February 2, and the Heat still have three games before that.

The Heat, who wanted another wave of victories, failed to continue the state at the end of last month. They almost overturned in their first battle with the Bulls of the Youth Army in February.

The Bulls' shooting is not very good, unlike the three-point teams that have caused trouble for the Heat before, they can compete with the Heat for efficiency with precise shooting.

After winning the Heat easily last time, Bulls coach Skiles adopted the simplest tactics this time to lead the team to fight the Heat to the end.

Just rush!
The average starting age of the Bulls is only 22 years old. In this game, the talent and drive of young people have been brought to the limit.

Their skills are rough, and their defense is so bad that they don't look like a playoff team at all, but it is undeniable that their talent is also one of the best in the league.

Relying on the impact and running style of play without considering physical strength, this group of stunned youths fought on par with the mighty Heat.

It's been seven years since Jordan retired from the Bulls, but in the previous six seasons, the Bulls had won just 7 games.

An average of only 20 wins a season.

Under such a crazy performance, the returns are also considerable. The Bulls have successfully accumulated a large number of talented players——

After losing this game, the Heat hadn't had time to reflect on the replay, and they ushered in the challenge of the Pistons after a day.

However, the Rockets coaching staff made Dayao sacrifice simply to lower his offensive status and let him play on the defensive end.

Larry Brown's defensive arrangement is still good. His strategy of arranging Caron Butler or Prince to defend Mo Wen according to the different lineups of the Heat has indeed brought Mo Wen a lot of trouble.

A real game is not a card game or a krypton gold game. The performance of strong and weak is closely related to their attitude.

The crazy performance of 30 points in the half made the coaching staff of the Pistons realize that they had never really understood this former championship hero, so since the game, Mo Wen has entered the key observation list of the Pistons team.

As a white player who plays with his brain, he used the home whistle to cheat Mo Wen into 3 fouls in the first half, successfully reducing and compressing Mo Wen's space to play on the defensive end, and also allowing Wade to mock Mo Wen in halftime for a long time.

It's a pity that it doesn't work if he likes it, and the Lakers management also likes it. If Kobe really wants to come to the Bulls, this group of talented players will have to be used as bargaining chips to report to the Lakers. Worse, and finally let it go.

Don't underestimate role players, those who can stay in the NBA have two brushes.

"Your place is really quiet, but there is less smoke and fire, and the city has to be lively and lively."

"Without O'Neill's dominance, or Duncan's skills, Dirk's boss, and Big Ben's personality, you just need to spend some thought...you don't have to please anyone, but if you want to be quite the boss, you have to further integrate into this culture .”

"How the hell do you know this as a third-ranking family?" Although Yao Ming felt that Mo Wen was talking nonsense, he had fulfilled a lot of what Mo Wen said before, and he didn't have any face. .

After getting settled in the hotel, Mo Wen didn't rest with the team, but called Dazhi, called Dayao, took a taxi and went to Dayao's villa.

"My house is not far from Shaq's house, it takes only half an hour to go to Dwyane's house, Haslem is a little farther away, it's only 40 minutes; Rasul lives in a garden villa in the city; Kenyon lives next to the arena In an apartment... the best location is Shaq’s mansion, it looks remote but it’s close to everything.”

Dayao kicked a pebble into the lake, breaking this beautiful scene.

This summer's Olympic trip not only brought Dayao a bronze medal, but also let him know that compromise is not the only option.

"I haven't been there." Dayao said in a daze.

Hinrich, who played against Mo Wen, performed super-level today. As the 03th pick in the 7 class, he was the first rookie to get a triple-double. Last year, he was rated as the best point guard in the 03 class. He received the There are countless praises, but after Mo Wen changed to point guard this year, few people suddenly mentioned him.

Wade's body is going to be stronger than Arenas, but his shots seem to be blocked today. Except for layups under the basket, he is not allowed to be a little farther from the basket. He only scored 19 points on 22 shots , the efficiency is far worse than his usual.

Nominally, Mo Wen is the Heat's third leader, but his ball usage rate is the highest in the Heat.

Especially Ao Pang, he had a slight discomfort in his left thigh after fighting the 135 kg "Little Shark" Eddie Curry in the last game. Although he insisted on playing the game today, his offensive and defensive speeds are slower than before. Not a lot, only contributed 17 points and 8 rebounds by the end of the game.

Mo Wen tried to believe in Wade, who was physically stronger, but he didn't want to be like Wade in regular time, missing three consecutive shots at critical moments.

But this time it was not Mo Wen or Wade who saved the Heat, but Damon Jones, the "first shooter in the universe".

Even the local media in Chicago didn't think Hinrich could be compared with Mo Wen. Fortunately, Mo Wen was not a rookie, otherwise his draft position would have to be brought up again.

And when the bus arrived at the pre-arranged hotel, a dragon dance team also passed by the road next to the hotel.

But why did he want a poor countryman who was not even a friend with him to sacrifice?
If there are fans who watched football from that era, they will know that the relationship between Tracy McGrady and Dayao is actually not as close as the media advertises. Compared with the friendship between buddies, the two are more colleagues.

"Why do you have so many questions? I'm sure I've invited them to my house for dinner, but what you said... you stay at home when you have nothing to do. I don't dare to lend you your courage."

But it's not that there are no discordant voices at all. The days of the two white insiders who were traded are not so happy.

Dayao smiled wryly with an emoji.

Today's old America has similar laws. People with criminal records can't help but have guns, but they are prohibited from holding bulletproof vests...
First overtime.

Don't think that the two will always have friendly interactions such as "tacit high fives" and "passionate hugs" when they play a good ball or win a game, so they think that the relationship between the two is very good. You must know that O'Neal last season Even when Kobe and Kobe are incompatible, the two will still hug each other like good brothers when they win.

They have lost 10 of their last 6 games.

He still doesn't have the strength to relax casually.

"Have you ever been to T-mac's?"

Looking at the calm and mirror-like Wenser Lake in front of him, Mo Wen yawned.

Dayao didn't agree to sacrifice, and McGrady didn't want to change his style of play. Fan Tuo's claws were numb. He was not good at handling player relations, and his tactical ability was mediocre, which made him very blunt in mediating the ball.

The highest score in this game is not the Heat's Trident, but Damon Jones' 32 points.

Later, Kobe hated the Lakers for not finding him a suitable helper, and proposed a trade to come to the Bulls. In addition to wanting to further succeed Joe, he also took a fancy to the talents of these boys.

Arenas didn't have a header today, and the team took the lead at the beginning of the game. Seeing the hope of victory, he kept calm and followed the coach's instructions to face Wade seriously throughout the whole process.

As the Chinese New Year approached, Mo Wen also suffered from the "year-end syndrome". He was not able to concentrate as usual, so he was attacked so suddenly.

The two struggled against each other, and the team couldn't play tactics, so they had to take turns to take the ball and swing. The current Rockets' [-]-[-] winning percentage was also a manifestation of the strength of the two.

Fortunately, after a day's rest, the physical strength of the Heat's players has been replenished. After a jaw-dropping offensive and defensive battle, the two teams tied at 92:92 in regular time.

But if it's just for his troubles, it's okay, the Pistons have done a good job of defending others.

When Wade faced the liberated Ben or Wallace, his breakthrough was not as sharp as before.

Mo Wen, who took over the team's offensive banner, scored a quasi-triple-double of 27 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds, but his teammates were in mediocre condition, so he couldn't make up for such a big gap.

······
Landing from the Houston airport was normal at first, but since entering the main city of Houston, Mo Wen noticed a lot of Chinese elements on the streets, especially as the bus drove closer to the Toyota Arena. Mo Wen also vaguely heard the sound of gongs and drums.

Mo Wen originally wanted to show Larry Brown another show, but he didn't want to. The Pistons blocked his research quite well today.

Potapanko, who got the chance to play because of Oban, used his backhand to avenge his revenge.

If there is a chance to be a red flower, who would like to be a green leaf. (Da Yao once said that McGrady is a red flower and he is a green leaf)
Dayao is a little soft, but it's not that he has no ambition at all.

In the end, the Heat won the game with a narrow advantage of 2 points.

Mo Wenruo said pointedly.

Radmanovic, who uses shooting as his main offensive method, is not as good as Milicic in confrontation, and now he has become Larry Brown's new "trash can". It's still a bit useful when it's a heavy center.At other times, it is just a wooden stake on the court, which can't fit the Pistons' zone defense lineup at all, and Lokomotiv Ukraine can't adapt to the heavy traffic in the Motor City.

If the Pistons' defense can't find a breakthrough, they just rely on slowly grinding to gain the lead. In addition to the physical test, the spirit also has to suffer.

To disintegrate the opponent's will to resist, an inconspicuous defense is actually more effective than a three-pointer that is accurate to the scalp.

"This... I remember Boss F's house, unfortunately he moved away, and Mobley also took me to his house, but he is now playing in Oakland. I heard that he is going to sell his house. I have heard that Jim lives in the community. But I don’t have a U.S. driver’s license, so I haven’t been there yet. Other people come and go. They usually only talk a few words when they are in the team. Hard to find."

While talking, Dayao seemed to realize something.

It's just that Xiao Fan's claws are numb. The previous invincible "big orange is the most important" doesn't work for Yao Ming. Yao has seen how Mo Wen handled the "big situation" in the team during the Olympics.

What is called brothers and sisters is just a play on the occasion.

"I climbed from the sixth person to the third leader. I know better than you, who had the opportunity to become the first leader, but now you have to work hard to fight for it." Mo Wen looked at Dayao's eyes without suspicion. Continue to explain.

To put it bluntly, let him be the leader on the defensive end. To be honest, let him do the dirty work...

"Damn it, there will be a day when Texas accepts foreigners." O'Neill muttered on the bus.

Mo Wen's willingness to make sacrifices is based on the fact that he has the ball and can guarantee his own data, and Wade also made concessions, giving up the right to organize the ball, and did not let Mo Wen pay unilaterally.

Hinrich is not the kind of player who is arrogant and likes to hype. He put his energy into the game and entangled with Mo Wen from beginning to end.

"You didn't buy a house in downtown Miami, so how dare you talk about me."

Eddie Curry, Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Tyson Chandler...
They were all talented monsters during the draft, and most importantly, these talented monsters more or less fulfilled their talents.

"Shaq partyed at his mansion until his neighbors sued him. Wade also had dinners at nightclubs. I don't like to mess around, but I usually find a few guys on the team who like boxing. Guys go to the boxing gym to work out..."

Mo Wen was vigilant after reflection, but in the following back-to-back games against the Wizards, the Heat had no choice but to hand over their sixth defeat of the season.

"Then do you know anyone's address in your team?" Mo Wen continued to ask

This kind of thing, Dayao will also be able to get in touch with and learn it in the future, but when Dayao learned these things in his previous life, he almost never used them...
The two walked along the lake and talked a lot.

The two teams tied and the game was dragged into a second overtime.

Mo Wen 82's physical attributes are still a bit weak. He didn't exert much effort during regular time today. When playing the second overtime, he already relied on willpower to mobilize his body.

Dayao, who scored 50 points before, played with confidence. He did not let his head down as he did in his previous life, but actively competed with McGrady for the ball.

Just like in ancient times, the imperial court generally did not have such strict controls on cold weapons and bows and arrows, but it was a felony to hide armor privately-one armor topped three crossbows, and three armors entered the underworld.

"Have you ever held a party at home?" Mo Wen glanced at him.

But it also reminded him that good swimmers drown, and good riders fall.

With the help of Mo Wen, Milicic integrated into the Pistons player team at any rate. The situation of the two international players, Radmanovic and Potapanko, is not so comfortable.

This small man who usually doesn't have much role in the second overtime made 4 of 3 three-pointers and caused Hamilton to foul again. He scored 11 points personally.

The Heat's schedule during this period was stumbling, and the Rockets, another protagonist of the Spring Festival Wars, performed even worse.

After running the entire game with the Bulls last game, the main players of the Heat exhausted a lot of energy.

Whether it's scoring statistics, shooting percentage, or high-level offensive and defensive contributions, he was blown away by Mo Wen.

After Milicic was traded away, Larry Brown became more comfortable, and the environment in the locker room became less embarrassing. The Pistons' record began to pick up. Recently, they won a wave of 5 consecutive victories and returned to the top spot in the small division. It seems to have regained the feeling of winning.

Fortunately, Billups also made a mess with Wade, and failed to kill a three-pointer in the last 7 seconds.

In Dayao's small villa, the table is covered with dumplings, but not enough.

Not counting children, there were nearly ten people.

Dayao's parents, Mo Wen's cousin's family, and even Da Zhi's wife and children were allowed to return to the United States to reunite with him.

At noon, a group of people watched the TV, eating dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala broadcast on international channels. With the end of the countdown and the ringing of the bell, the new year came.
