basketball never sleeps

Chapter 189 Aren't center forwards just doing dirty work?
"No, no, no, Shaq, you go play, I have to go back home, I haven't been home for a year, if I don't go back in the summer, I promise my mother will fly over and use my head to test the broom and my dad would use my ass to test the toughness of his straps!"

"I advise you to be more restrained, otherwise when I come back and find that you have all turned into a ball, I can only enjoy those delicacies by myself."

"Isn't your wife about to give birth soon? Be so careful that you can't even hold the baby!"

"Leave less leaves, next season I can pass the ball to more people, if you dare to stand in a daze on the court, don't even think about receiving my pass again!"

Although the holiday was two months late, for ordinary championship players, there is still a lot of rest time. If you can hold back the guilt of depravity, you can even let it go and have a good time.

O'Neill called Wade and a few old birds who love to play, and booked a small island far away from the regular waterway, found a group of girls who like fitness, and prepared to open a one-week closed type of physical training.

For a moment, Mo Wen was even slightly interested.

It's a pity that Mo Wen left the group because he wasn't perverted enough.

There are two professional trainers in his family for physical exercise. This kind of open big pot, his thoughts are not so poor that he needs that kind of perverted stimulation to be satisfied.

Some time ago, when sending little Catherine back, T800 also had an open and honest chat with him about this issue. Catherine is still young, and Mo Wen is a vigorous sports star. Do it well and no one will know and it can be assumed that nothing happened.

Anyway, Mo Wen pretended to be an innocent boy and didn't understand. He did it, but there's no need to show off this kind of thing.

After winning the FMVP, he was "barely" considered a successful person. During his three years in the United States, his emotional experience, which was as clean as a blank sheet of paper compared with the natives, had been dug out, and he was called "American". Ding Zhen" is not an exaggeration.

Mo Wen also didn't want to make his pornographic news all over the sky, because a polite interaction by chance was speculated for no reason by various third-rate tabloids, and he didn't intend to break this persona before he became a pervert.

At the beginning of August, after the Olympic farewell, Mo Wen finally boarded the plane back to China after a year.

For an international superstar, Mo Wen's return to China is quite a big deal.

After the finals this year, everyone thought that Mo Wen would come back with Da Zhi, but Mo Wen still handed over the stage to Da Zhi.

Mo Wen didn't want to act as if he was using power to overwhelm others... although he did use some power.

To put it bluntly, Da Zhi's matter was caused by poor information, his own turmoil, and an unspeakable atmosphere.

After talking, he admitted his mistake, apologized, shed tears, and bowed.

In any case, Chinese fans are very tolerant.

As long as you don't get into it, it's over.

But what made Mo Wen a little uncomfortable was that he originally wanted to come back in a low-key manner and rest for two days, but he turned around and was arranged.

Didn't Yangma shoot a documentary for him last year, and it missed the ending. The producer felt that it was a bit wrong to end in the United States, so he discussed with Mo Wen's team and decided on this itinerary.

Mo Wen is not alone now, at least on the outside, he has to be responsible for a team of more than a dozen people, and the domestic side also intends to shape Mo Wen's image as a "national business card". When the two sides combined, the news of his return trip was still announced.

Fans of Little Fresh Meat might block the exit passage at the airport, but Mo Wen's status would not.

I am ashamed to say that in order to ensure that he can leave, many public officials with badges near the Shanghai Airport opened and maintained a passage for him by manpower. He is really occupying public resources.

As soon as he returned to China, he held a press conference under the arrangement of the team, briefly announced the possible itinerary, and explained the reasons for not participating in the Asian Championships.

Let's talk about everything first, so as not to arrange all kinds of things later.

Then he was finally partially free again.

A summer rain during the plum season became the best cover for Mo Wen to go home.

Claiming that he was going to Yanjing for a meeting, he finally sneaked back home.

There was no particularly warm drama, and Mo's father even came back from work only an hour earlier.

The frequency of Mo Wen's appearances on TV was much higher than his frequency of talking with his family, and the time of his return was also pre-booked, so no strong surprise could be brewed.

The warm and delicious fish balls slipped into the belly along the throat that had just slipped through the rice wine, and then I ate a grain of fennel beans simmered by grandma.

Go, go, go-

It feels so good.

Snapped--

"Don't babble."

Looking at his mother's chopsticks, Mo Wen showed an expression of begging for mercy that he hadn't used for a long time.

"You kid, you've become a big celebrity, and you still look like this."

At the dinner table, Mo Wen casually chatted about his interesting stories in the United States, and his parents and grandparents also talked about the changes and stories of their hometown.

The familiar local accent healed Mo Wen's tired spirit.

At night, the rain stopped.

The temporary creeks along the road dissipated with the summer heat, leaving only the fresh fragrance in the air.

Grandpa was afraid that the fact that Mo Wen was at home would be exposed, so he went out for a walk as usual. Mo Wen confidently occupied his old man's rocking chair, and used his 95 kg weight to test the quality of these 20-year-old antiques.

Think about it, when I was young, my parents had many brothers and sisters, and my own brothers and sisters naturally had many, so the ownership of this rocking chair still had to be contested.

To be able to survive under the devastation of a bunch of half-sized children to this day, the carpenter's craftsmanship is really amazing.

squeak, squeak—

The rocking chair took away the last trace of impetuosity under the hazy night sky.

……

After three days of laziness at home, before his parents got bored with him, Mo Wen took his breathless team and started traveling again.

Although Mo Wen's success has nothing to do with fans, Mo Wen's status and everything in Mo Wen's pocket cannot be separated from the support of fans.

Mo Wen doesn't need to worry about the route. His team, relevant domestic departments, and Nike have all helped plan and prepare.

All he needs to do is smile, occasionally interact with lucky fans, and show off his terrifying ball skills to get cheers from the fans.

"The sports atmosphere in our country is quite good."

Mo Chuang, the cousin in charge of Mo Wen's domestic affairs, looked at the crowded stadium and sighed.

"It's good, but I can't keep it."

Director Li on one side of the stand shook his head and sighed.

"Why can't we keep it, and the fans can't fly to the United States to watch the game?" Mo Chuang was a little puzzled.

"It's Mo Wen, the NBA, not basketball that fans buy into."

"Those sponsors, TV stations prefer to buy broadcasting rights that are also biased towards NBA rather than local games."

"He got the fame and the NBA took away the profits, so we can only beg for food with gold bowls. This kid also wants to release all the high-end players. You said that you let your land go to waste, and you can only spend money to buy food later. Is that okay?"

Director Li, who is over 50 years old, sighed.

Director Li is not a short-sighted person. In the previous few conversations, he reasoned with Mo Wen, and he had nothing to say to Mo Wen several times.

It's not some sophistry or some high-profile overpowering people, it's just a normal discussion. Those things that need to be considered can't be solved by basketball.

If it was something like "Thank God, I believe in gods and ghosts", Mo Wen might not even bother to answer.

But Director Li, although he has flaws in some aspects, he is one of the few leaders in the domestic sports circle who understands football and league operations. It can be seen from his series of measures that he really wants to make China Basketball developed.

The foundation of CBA's commercialization was built by him, but CBA did not develop according to his vision in the end.

According to his thinking, the legendary "Polaris Project" pie is quite delicious.

But the problem is, he may be retired in a few years.

The kindness and resentment in it, Mo Wen's level in his previous life was not enough to understand, but if it is true, everything will really return to the original track.

It's better to follow Mo Wen's simple and rude way of thinking and let it out.

In other words, learn from the Neon Basketball Association.

No matter how prosperous the domestic industry is, the international performance is a mess, so there is no use.

Who cares about scissors and burden hammers for left and right hands?

After all, it still depends on the external results.

Oh, it is indeed useful, and many people's wallets will bulge, but are they harvesting fans' money?
No, there is still hope for the fans.

The heat of a competition, after all, depends on victory to sustain it.

……

"Brother Chuang, have you got the contacts and files of those children?"

Back at the hotel, Mo Wen slumped on the sofa tiredly and rubbed his eyes.

Another dry mouth day.

"Here, it's all here."

Mo Chuang gave Mo Wen a stack of documents with his profile picture printed on them.

"A bunch of junior high school seedlings, you just want to give them away, aren't you a little anxious, you only went out in college?" Mo Chuang was a little puzzled.

"Snatch people, don't rush, wait for them to turn 18, the group of people in China will go up and eat all the bones they eat, stable hundreds of thousands a year and an uncertain future, they I won’t choose, but the adults in their family will.” Mo Wen shook his head and sighed.

Turning over a few pages, I saw a familiar name.

He stretched out his finger and flicked the file in front of him.

Chen Jianghua.

They say you're a genius, I hope you don't disappoint me.

"By the way, Mo, the league replied to the matter you asked me to pay attention to before, and you are welcome to take over... Oh no, it's admission. President Stern also specifically told me that we'd better complete the admission before September. Because the alliance has been considering military expansion and standardization in the near future.”

Human, who was fiddling with a notebook on the other side, said suddenly.

"Heh, is this considered insider trading?" Mo Wen smiled.

"Yes, he said, don't tell other people, well, at least not other people who can speak English." Human also smiled.

"Okay, it's just a matter of a few million dollars. You and Brother Chuang can contact our lovely benefactors. For this matter, they will inevitably increase my endorsement fee next year."

Mo Wen put the materials aside and stretched comfortably.

"Aren't you going to take advantage of this kind of opportunity first?" Suman was a little puzzled.

"If you want to use your money, go for it. The liquidity is so small. I won't make a lot of money and may cause a lot of trouble. I'll just be a middleman for such a thing." Mo Wen yawned Walk into the room.

What the two said was not surprising, it was about the acquisition of the NBDL team.

That's right, Mo Wen still wanted to poach the corner of socialism.

Provide a stage for domestic potential players to show themselves in a black-box operation.

As the NBA's development league, NBDL has no rules that players cannot hold shares. NBA players cannot hold team shares. The main reason is that NBA owners do not want players to overstep.

In the final analysis, the NBA is a business league with the largest owners. Stern's prestige comes from his own efforts, but his rights come from the owners of the teams.

The sale and purchase of the team is not up to the owner of the team's shares, you have to get the approval of other owners.

Just so domineering.

But NBDL is just a league attached to the NBA composed of mud-legged bosses, so it is not so dead, at least not at this time.

Weber once bought an NBDL team for his brother who had a basketball dream, and then sent the brother of the relationship to the starting position.

There are only 8 teams in the NBDL during this time period, and 2 teams are not doing well and are planning to withdraw this year.

Mo Wen aimed at those two teams.

At first he thought about his own end.

But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea of ​​becoming the boss by himself.

Be it Danzi, or later Dayao, if he started a team, he would either ruin his reputation or ruin his interpersonal relationship. Think about all the messy things, and you have to pay your own salary later.

Isn't it good to work honestly?

NBA players, excluding Kemp who was bankrupted by illegitimate children, and Simmons who was kidnapped by luxury consumption, most of the player's bankruptcies actually stem from investment failures.

The way Mo Wen saw most of the middle class returning to poverty in his previous life was to invest in starting a business other than school district F...

Daba is still playing in the NBDL. Although the two have conflicts, he can give up his domestic salary of one million yuan to pursue his dream abroad, and it is not good for Mo Wen to be a villain in this regard.

Many of Mo Wen's domestic sponsors are unwilling to give money directly, and want to enter the NBA but have no connections. This is also an opportunity.

In Mo Wen's memory, after the military expansion this year, the NBDL was officially standardized, and it gradually became profitable in the future, and its value has also risen along with the NBA.

Anyway, you can't lose.

In fact, he can also be a star without worrying about so many nosy things or arrangements, and he should eat and drink-luxury cars, beauties, big wild.

But after replacing Dayao and becoming the benchmark, the pressure also followed.

He can carry it, 5 years, 10 years or even 20 years.

But time will not always be on his side.

He can't do it with all his heart and soul, and it's impossible to work hard.

After all, there is Dayao.

Center forwards, aren't they just doing the dirty work?
He used his brain, and Dayao worked hard to achieve it. This is reasonable, right?

……

When Mo Wen was traveling all over the country, a certain black boy who was wearing sunglasses and looked a little like Dan Zi also came to Yanjing with his girlfriend under the arrangement of Nike.

It has to be said that although the "little emperor" at this time has stepped on the line and failed to make the playoffs for two consecutive years, his violent and fierce style of play still attracted many fans.

Tickets for his event were sold at 150 yuan.

The price of 05 in 150 was quite a lot. Of course, it is still a little bit worse than last year when Dan Zi came to the price of nearly 2000 per ticket.

LeBron is still very dedicated, signing on the sidelines, interacting on the court, and performing dunks. It cannot be said that he has no airs, anyway, he does not have the airs of an emperor.

Compared with last year, Danzi only ate airfreight spaghetti for meals, and basically only interacted with the leaders when talking, and the highlight of the audience was to present an award to the middle school students. The shit-like trip to China is much better.

From an objective point of view, football stars are people with better football skills, and movie stars are people with better acting skills.
When a fan has become a slave for no reason, the money is not enough, and he has to put his face on him to step on it.

Anyway, after this incident, Danzi's divinity and position are still there, but the divinity is gone, which can be regarded as a good lesson for domestic fans.

James was still interacting with fans in the arena, but the security guards of the first team suddenly rushed in.

The host of the event was a bit confused.

But then someone whispered something in his ear, and he immediately straightened up.

"Really? This...isn't this amazing?!"

Azhan was also a little confused, but he was hinted by Nike in advance, and he quickly thought of something.

When the host uttered the name tremblingly, the scene was silent for two seconds, and then there was a riot, and the cheers of the crowd almost toppled the roof.

"Hey, I knew it was you, my brother!" James enthusiastically stretched out his hands towards Mo Wen with "full happiness" and a little helplessness.

"You know it's me, why didn't you notify me? This is my home field, do you think you can escape?"

Mo Wenying went over and patted James on the back.

The No. 03 pick in the [-] class and the end act like close old friends at this moment.

But James panicked, because as soon as Mo Wen came, his camera disappeared.

James looked at the person in charge of Nike who organized the event with some embarrassment.

But the person in charge of Nike is also looking at Mo Wen and applauding now.

He suddenly had a bad premonition that there was no arrangement for calling Mo Wen here with this trick, right?

If it were free to play...

A Zhan looked at Mo Wen and shivered.

He is going to hold a training camp in the summer, and he is still thinking about whether to invite Wade and Bosh. If he finds them and attracts Mo Wen, then the training camp will probably not be fun.

During the playoffs, he was a free sparring partner with the Heat for a period of time, and he didn't learn much skills, but it strengthened his determination to poach people in the Heat.

Playing with such a pervert every day on a team, it's no wonder the Heat's perimeter defense is so good.

Of course, it is impossible for the stars to just chat when they get together to interact.

The sudden surprise made the host empty out all the things he had prepared in his stomach, and then he found time to ask the person in charge of the event if he could arrange a solo for the two of them.

The person in charge of the activity forwarded this to the teams on both sides.

"Do you want to compare James? See if you have been playing crazy in the past two months?"

"I don't have such a busy schedule as you. In order to beat you, I have been exercising and gaining weight during the offseason!" James proudly compared the muscles on his arms.

He is not as persistent as Kobe. When he finds that technology can't solve the problem for a while, he turns to his body for answers.

The sober LeBron continued: "Neither of us warmed up today, I think it's better not to play too seriously."

"How about we perform a dunk?"

"Row!"

The little emperor's eyes lit up,
This is fine, he is good at it!

Without a referee, the two simply took turns to perform, and the outcome would depend mainly on the cheers of the audience.

But the little emperor's smile didn't last long.

because……

No matter what moves Mo Wen made, the cheers Mo Wen would always get were bigger than him.

And what was even more frightening was that he could clearly feel that Mo Wen's bounce had improved!
He didn't see Mo Wen jumping higher, nor did he feel Mo Wen jumping further, but he could still feel Mo Wen's progress.

Ah Zhan originally wanted to play, but after playing, he became more serious.

It's a pity that his coordination prevents him from playing special tricks, and he can only show his style with powerful heavy dunks.

Slash Huashan with all your strength, smash hard, dunk with the tomahawk, double dunk with the fold...

After acquiring the [Jumper] talent, Mo Wen's jumping attribute has also reached 80, entering the level of a star, although it is much worse than those talented men.

But there are more and more tricks that dunks can do.

His dunk attributes are not low either.

In order to vent his repressed emotions, in the dungeon, he was able to hold back everything.

After Mo Wen's winning rate stabilized in [Nightmare Dungeon], he didn't really lack high-level potential raw stones. He didn't add much dunk potential, but it increased the fastest. Among all technical attributes, it reached 85, second only to 88. point.

Throwing the board to catch the ball - 180° rotation in the air - soothing back buckle.

A slam dunk contest can score 49 points in dunks, so Mo Wen gave fans such a free benefit.

"Beautiful, brother, I didn't expect you to be so good at buckling!"

Looking at the person in charge of Nike who was clapping wildly over there, James admired against his will while having a strong idea of ​​returning to China.

"Haha, you dunk beautifully. If you want me to say, next season's All-Star, you must go to the slam dunk conference to perform. You will definitely become Jordan, the most powerful dunk king after Kobe!"

Mo Wen patted Ah Zhan on the shoulder.

But when it came to the slam dunk contest, James just smiled awkwardly and politely, and said nothing.

……

After the event, Mo Wen did not take James to eat steak, but took him to Yanjing Restaurant.

One is that Mo Wen is greedy for himself, and the other is that there is no need to worry about A Zhan not getting used to it. After all, it is a large dining hall for foreign guests named after Diaoyutai.

A Zhan, who was opened to the taste door by the master chefs, experienced a taste completely different from American Chinese food. He pointed to a plate with cylinders in front of Mo Wen and his eyes glowed:

"What are you eating? It looks delicious, can I have one?"

"Whatever." Mo Wen shrugged.

Inserting a fork into his mouth, the light in A-Zhan's eyes became brighter.

"Wow, this... is the best meat I've ever eaten!"

"If you like it, this set will be yours." Mo Wen smiled slightly.

"Thank you, what's the name of this dish?" The naive Azhan was still trying to stuff the small cylinder into his mouth.

"Sausage among sausages." Mo Wen thought for a while, but still didn't use the literal translation of "braised sausage" on the menu.

"Sausage? Is this pork?" A-Zhan tilted his head, but his mouth didn't stop. "It's much tougher to eat than a sausage."

"It's not made of pork, but it uses pig casings." Mo Wen told the truth.

"Pig casings, that's okay, not to mention, I haven't even eaten such casings." A Zhan, who became more and more addicted to eating, quickly finished the last one. He doesn't eat pork, but sausages are not on his blacklist .

"Oh, in fact, this thing only has casings." Mo Wen spread his hands helplessly.

Ah Zhan swallowed and suppressed the last bite.

Brow wrinkled.

"What do you mean only casings?"

"literal meaning."

Putting down the fork, James, who seemed to understand something, was stunned, recalling the taste of the entrance just now——

In fact, it's true that Americans say they don't eat offal, but Americans here are referring to white people...

"Mo, I believe you have many ways to kill me. Why did you choose this one?" James has lived a hard life, but he still has an instinctive resistance to this thing.

"I think you need to recall what happened just now."

Mo Wenyun took a sip of tea calmly and pointed to the plate.

"I suggest that you don't have any psychological burden. If you want to spit it out, you really can't accept it. If you want to spit it out, the thing will pass through your throat again, your mouth..."

Ah Zhan, who was about to choke his throat, stopped his movements, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be the reason.

The entourage at the same table couldn't hold back their laughter, and Azhan, who was in embarrassment, had an idea and immediately waved to the English-speaking waiter next to him.

"Waiter, could you please serve a few more servings of this dish? The other tables in our group also want it. I want them to taste the deliciousness of this dish..."

As long as everyone eats it, then he is equal to everyone!

Fearing that other people would not believe it, James even went to other tables to sell the newly served intestines.

"This thing is super delicious!"

"Never mind what it is, it's delicious, just eat it!"

"It's a top quality sausage from China, seriously, I've had two servings already!"

Ah Zhan's promotion was very successful, and the people on both sides were either tempted, deceived, or coerced, and they all ate this thing.

In the end, amidst some people's cursing, things went as they wished, and they reached an agreement.

It's just something that Azhan didn't expect. Although no one announced it to the public, the morning paper the next day——

"The little emperor loves Jiuzhuan Dachang, even ordering 10 copies is not enough!" "

"The Charm of the Large Intestine, NBA Players Gathering, Unhappy with Intestines!" "

"The delicacy that fascinates NBA stars is actually it!" "

...

Ah Zhan was quite happy when he returned.

Because the Cavaliers finally recruited a reliable helper for him.

Without the No. [-] pick, the Bucks took Villanueva at No. [-], the insider who suffered from generalized alopecia and was nicknamed the "Browless Hero".

But after a failed season, Reid is eager for a high salary and eager to win.

Unlike in the original history, this time the owner of the Cavaliers offered a higher salary for the shooter. 6 million in 9000 years, the Bucks can give more, even bird rights, and the renewal increase is even greater.

But the short two-year experience of being the boss made Reed recognize himself.

If he can have an inside partner like Bogoute who seems to have great potential, he is willing to take a gamble.

But Bogoute didn't come, and Vilannuo's performance in college was obviously almost meaningless.

In the absence of a particularly large gap in money, Reed still chose an easier way.

Reed's choice created a series of chain reactions.

Larisius failed and accepted a big contract from the Wizards. After the Wizards ran out of space, they had no money to sign Caron Butler.

In the end, he turned around and was still retained by the Mavericks with a large middle class.

After the Heat's lineup was roughly finalized, the big fish in the free market quickly found their next homes.

Horry stayed in the Spurs with a veteran's basic salary, while Marshall was won by the Cavaliers.

Ray Allen's negotiations seem to have reached an impasse, while the negotiations between Jon Jonson and the new Suns owner Savor have ended.

Savor, a stingy workman, refused to offer an annual salary of 800 million to renew his contract, so he put Jiongsen back to the free market, and indirectly gave Jiongsen a big contract with an annual salary of tens of millions, letting him know that he was originally so valuable.

Dayao claimed that the failure to renew the contract did not affect the Rockets’ signings. Dawson thought that Yao was just playing his temper. He also followed the historical track and signed Swift with a long-term middle class. It took another 3 years. Uncle Mu was renewed with a basic salary of 600 million.

...

The veterans of the Heat, who drifted away on the small island and lost contact, returned to the embrace of Mother Earth with pale lips.

Mo Wen, who has been busy in the country for a month, finally waited for the time to return.

Theoretically speaking, there is still one and a half months of vacation.

However, with an extra three kilograms of body weight and the previously scheduled physical strengthening goal has not been achieved, Mo Wen had to end his domestic journey.

Stuffing the fried cicada monkeys that were not allowed by the U.S. Customs, the summer’s hustle and bustle came to an end. Mo Wen, like countless students, embarked on his return trip in September.

　This is at night, there is still on the 30th
