basketball never sleeps

Chapter 194 The Age of Dancing

"We will ensure that the league is a clean and purely competitive league, and any violence will not be tolerated."

Stern stood in front of the cameras of the media with a serious face and announced the league's punishment for the violence.

"To sum up, our suspension punishment for this incident is: Yao Ming, because of excessive defense, was suspended for 4 games and fined 20000 dollars;

Desmond Mason was suspended for 6 games and fined $25000 for his obviously malicious protective action, followed by meaningless provocation and violence;

Chris Anderson, because of unnecessary violence and subsequent physical examination problems, was permanently expelled from the stadium in accordance with the league's regulations and discussions at the league's high-level meetings. "

Yao Ming stared blankly at the TV, listening to the league's punishment to him in disbelief.

Did he hear it right?

With his fists swung like that, he only needs to be suspended for 4 games?
The doctor told him that the recovery period of the brow bone would take at least half a month. That is to say, if he was not on the injury list, he would be lifted from the suspension list?
Xiao Fan beside him nodded as expected.

Almost, according to his expectation, the suspension period is almost over.

After the battle at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the alliance tightened the punishment for fighting, but the scale of this space-time war is limited, so the alliance is really not that sensitive to violence.

In this conflict, Dayao did not show a particularly excited emotion of revenge. He did not fight back until he was seriously violated by Anderson. In the eyes of the Americans, it already seemed a bit weak.

The alliance does not advocate violence, but it does not welcome softies, not to mention that self-defense is a universal value advocated by firearms companies.

Although Mason became the one who was beaten in the end, no one felt sorry for him. The cameras behind the baseline and rebounds clearly recorded all his actions.

As for Anderson, his attack was quite unreasonable. Considering that Anderson was summoned by the police not long ago for domestic violence against his girlfriend and mother, Stern asked for his blood to be collected immediately after the game. urine and hair.

Sure enough, some chemical substances that should not appear appeared in his blood, involving at least four or more prohibited products.

Isn't there a perfect "anti-drug ambassador" here?

Permanent ban!

The mini middle class that Anderson just signed was also forcibly terminated by the league.

"Should" is just one word.

However, what puzzled Dayao and even shocked him was yet to come.

The domestic media did not blame him for his behavior but praised and praised him.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who say that Dayao's use of violence is not a gentleman, damages the image of the country, and damages the image of Asians, but these are not mainstream voices.

Even looking at online forums, fans who make such "gentlemanly" remarks will be attacked by other groups.

"Laughing to death, you still talk about your image after a fist hit you in the face? You are so abstract!"

"After kneeling for a long time, your knees have taken root, right? Ghosts talk about etiquette. How polite it was to knock on the door with a cannon. How long have you forgotten it?"

"Brother Mo would have killed him long ago, and he's still chattering away from here."

It seemed that Mo Wen was right?
……

"Playing next to Jordan, the greatest basketball player in the world, he made me a great person too. I can't remember what it was like when MJ's jersey was retired, but for me, this is me. The proudest scene of my career. I know that from now on, no player on the Bulls will be able to wear this jersey...”

Under the spotlight, under the gaze of Danzi, Rodman, and Zen Master, Scottie Pippen slowly raised his huge No. 33 jersey to the sky above the American League Arena.

Following Bob Love, Jerry Sloan, and Michael Jordan, he has also become the fourth god in this arena.

The Heat team on the side also applauded the most successful second child in NBA history in a timely manner.

Anyway, Pippen bought them more halftime today.

The intermission, which usually ends in 15 minutes, dragged on for 30 minutes due to various interactions.

"Lucky shit."

As a former opponent, Payton doesn't think highly of Pippen. Although Pippen's career seems to be more successful than him, this product itself is not worthy of respect.

As he himself said, Pippen was able to make irresponsible remarks afterwards, and Danzi should bear most of the responsibility.

The sensational drama harvested the feelings and tears of a wave of fans, but it did not change the trend of today's game.

After losing the overweight "Little Shark" Eddie Curry, the Bulls' lineup has become quite light. Their fast breaks are decent, but facing the powerful Heat, ordinary fastness can only make them more Take two steps forward.

Hinrich, who is regarded as the hope of the team's revival, was able to fight Mo Wen a few tricks last year. This year, after Mo Wen improved his body, he became the side that was completely suppressed.

Ben Gordon also fell short under Wade's care. The speed he is proud of has no advantage in front of Wade, and his simple and simple breakthrough can't break Wade's tight...defense trained by Mo Wen.

Nocioni faced Finley, who became quite excited because of Jordan, and could only hang outside and shoot three-pointers.

The home referee is already very biased towards the Bulls today, and Pi Erye’s retirement is considered a decent thing. Even if it is not as good as "Kneel and Punish", the Bulls can still lead by 6 free throws in a single quarter after resorting to the shark-killing tactics. Quite an exaggeration.

But Mo Wen also hit high today.

Hinrich, Ben Gordon, and Nocioni made a lot of three-pointers, which made Mo Wen feel like he was playing a copy of "The Age of Jokes", so he switched modes unconsciously and turned on Langby.

Back in the third quarter, he made 9 three-pointers.

Ultra-long three-pointers, pull-up three-pointers, three-pointers after screens, breakthrough three-pointers, jumping three-pointers in disguise, outside dream dance three-pointers that only appear in 2K or live games...

In the TNT studio, watching Mo Wen point Hinrich, after a physical confrontation from outside the three-point line, he jumped back and hit a three-pointer again. Barkley couldn't stand it anymore:
"God, I have to apologize for saying that Mo Wen is an evolution of a point forward like Pippen. Pippen will never play like this, and he will never play this kind of performance."

"I'm thinking now who can sanction him, and if he is allowed to shoot like this, he will teach young players badly!"

With 9 of 5 shots and two free throws, Mo Wen easily scored 17 points.

He also pushed his total score in this game to 30 points.

During the break after the third quarter, watching Mo Wen 30+10+10 on the screen, the people sitting at the scene were a little confused.

No, what's going on?

How did you get a 30-point triple-double in the blink of an eye?

When will live games be fast-forwarded?
"This kid's shooting is good. It's [-]% as good as I was back then." Danzi in a suit and leather shoes looked at Mo Wen as if he were looking at a work of art.

The Zen master turned his head and looked at him without saying a word.

stare--

Danzi, who noticed the Zen master's gaze, stretched for three or four seconds and finally did not hold back, and smiled awkwardly yet decently.

The Zen master laughed too.

You also know I'm sorry.

The 0th person in the history of the three-point contest, how dare you touch the porcelain three-point king?
"I have to admit that now your face is [-]% thicker than Dr. Buss (the owner of the Lakers)." Zen Master laughed.

"Oh, it seems that I still need to work hard." Jordan is not ashamed. Although the old Bass has been ridiculed a lot in the past two years for trading O'Neal, he is still the most successful player in the entire league. A group of bosses.

"This kid's style of play... what do you think?"

The Zen master asked if he meant something.

"Sit and watch, stand and watch, how can you look at it? He looks very chic now, mainly because his teammates are strong enough and there is not much offensive pressure. He can naturally do whatever he wants." Jordan raised his eyebrows and said , "You can't win the championship with three points. If I remember correctly, you still said this sentence."

"Hehe, the rules have changed... If you were put into the present, I guess I will let you practice three-pointers."

The Zen master leaned back, with a bit of helplessness in his words.

After Stern tasted the sweetness of the increase in ratings brought about by offensive basketball, he further tightened the whistle, and the perimeter defense was completely banned.

The logic is simple-you can't start defending, if you want to curb the star's breakthrough, you can only leave a space. If the star can seize this space and shoot a three-pointer, it will put the opponent's defense in a dilemma.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't make three points, as long as your breakthrough is firm enough, and you meet a referee who is willing to give you a whistle, you can still hit super god data.

Well, yes, it was James.

——Michael James, once Mo Wen’s teammate in the Pistons, Billups’s substitute, he had difficulty scoring in double figures before, this season he averaged 20+6+4 in the Raptors only relying on breakthroughs performance.

Jordan shook his head upon hearing this.

After leaving the front line of the game, he still insists on his previous competitive philosophy. In his eyes, the three-pointer is important, but the two-pointer is the one that can really control the game in the playoffs.

"So..." Zen Master raised his eyebrows with great interest.

"So Bobcats will still welcome him as much as I welcome him." Jordan shrugged with a smile, "Hey, don't think about Phil, we won't let him go, although he still has a lot of power compared to me. The gap, but looking at it now, he should be the closest young man to me besides Kobe."

Speaking of this, Danzi showed a smug smile on his face.

Now almost all the teams in the league are looking forward to Mo Wenxia's departure.

But at present, there is really enough salary space, and the only one who can match the maximum salary for Mo Wen who triggered the "Mo Clause" is the newly established Bobcats.

The salary paid by the Bobcats this year is only a little over 3000 million. If they operate properly, they can even offer Yao Ming a maximum salary while giving Mo Wen a maximum salary!
Even if Dayao cannot be recruited, the combination of Mo Wen + No. [-] Okafor + No. [-] pick Bogoute looks promising.

"He is not a local player. In terms of commercial value, he is no worse than you back then. He might not choose a small city just because of a few million." Master Zen shook his head. For a popular player like Mo Wen, the salary Just part of the income, not even the biggest part.

For these big names, salary is more of a status symbol and a kind of respect, but it is not a factor that can determine everything.

"I won't bother you about this. Johnson (the major shareholder of the Bobcats at this time) has already made a lot of plans for lobbying him to join. To be honest, if I could enjoy this kind of treatment when I first came back, Chicago It might not have been my first choice."

"Of course, even if we can't get him, other teams can't get around us if they want to get him, and we can still make a fortune at that time."

As Jordan spoke, he waved his fist excitedly.

The Bobcats don’t have a lot of background. The team builds all players by picking up trash among the players that other teams don’t want. How long does it take to make it to the playoffs.

But who would have thought that someone would hand them a pillow as soon as they dozed off, and the previously unfulfilled salary cap would become their advantage!

If the Bobcats can't get an All-Star this summer, the management team can all resign.

In the fourth quarter, facing a 15-point difference, Mo Wen did not choose to continue playing.

He could score a 40+ triple-double, but considering that Pi Erye had only scored 39 points in a triple-double with the Bulls, Mo Wen thought about it and gave up this rather annoying approach.

But the stadium is not a turn-based numerical game, and it is always full of various accidents.

After Mo Wen, Ao Pang, and Finley went off one after another, the Bulls youth team, who had been suppressed for three quarters, felt that they could do it again.

Hinrich regained the feeling of connecting teams, Luol Deng also fouled one after another as if with divine help, and Ben Gordon, who was invisible in front of Wade before, also stole chickens and hit three-pointers twice in the bottom corner.

Wade and Walker were a little absent-minded.

Some time ago, when the Heat were on a winning streak, the opposing team basically gave up resistance when they had a big lead in the fourth quarter. They stayed on the court and worked just to brush up the data and wait for the end of the game.

They missed several shots, and then looked up, and the point difference was narrowed to 7 points.

Da Fan's gaze passed Ao Pang and Finley, and landed on Mo Wen.

Well, I have to work overtime again today.

Hinrich felt nervous when he saw Mo Wen playing.

Mo Wen's cutting the ball gave people too much pressure, which is a wonderful feeling that other defenders can't give.

There is no gamble-style all-or-nothing, no mad dog-style biting aggression, Mo Wen's eyes seem to be able to see through your dribbling rhythm, stealing the ball when you are slightly slack.

Obviously he was the one attacking with the ball, but Mo Wen forced him to take the defense away.

Because of the tightening of the whistle, the steals list has also shrunk significantly this season, but Mo Wen has not received much impact. His average of 2.8 steals per game exceeds the second-ranked Bryvenette's 2.3 steals by a large margin.

As soon as Hinrich was cautious, the Bulls' rhythm immediately downshifted.

This immediate change can be seen by anyone with a little knowledge of the game.

Paxson, who took over as the general manager of the Krause Bulls, also looked eagerly.

Although the salary space of the Bulls is not as "rich" as the Bobcats, but the current salary expenditure is only 4100 million, and there is still 800 million in space. The bad contract of the retired Eddie Robinson will be terminated next year, and another 500 million Wan, and then send Hinrich away in exchange for draft picks, it is not a problem for them to clear 35% of the salary space.

Cap space?

Who didn't!

The Bulls' Youth Bureau was naturally unwilling to be taken away by Mo Wen so easily. The members of the Bulls Dynasty were watching from the sidelines.

Without the need for coach Skiles to cook chicken soup, they completed their own strategy, showed enthusiasm that they didn't have in the first three quarters, and used their talents to crazily attack the Heat's seasoned defense.

The Heat's defense is as mature as the "old aunt", but they still can't bear the impact frequency of these five gears.

Fortunately, Mo Wen has a good touch, and has been helping the Heat maintain the point difference with tactics and personal offense.

"No, Gordon was careless. He passed the ball rashly without observing the situation. The ball was intercepted by Mo. The Heat are going to fight back again!"

"Chandler is following closely behind. Look at this ball... Chandler was swayed and flew past!"

"...Luol Deng also flew over!"

"...Sweetney, you've been fooled again!"

"Oh my God, does Mo have eyes in the back of his head? With his back to the chasing player, he fooled the Bulls' chasing player with three fake shots in a row! It feels like he can predict the future!"

"40 points! Mo set a new high for his scoring at the Bulls' home court. He also had 11 assists and 10 rebounds and a triple-double of 40 points. He set a new record for the visiting team's triple-double scoring at the Bulls' home court! Second player to score a 40-point triple-double at the United Center!"

"There are still 3 minutes until the end of the game, and he even has a chance to break the triple-double record of 47 points!"

Under the camera, Pi Erye's smile was a little stiff.

He really didn't expect to be stabbed in the back like this on the most glorious day after he retired.

The most annoying thing is that the commentator didn't mention his 39-point triple-double at all!
Danzi can still keep his demeanor talking and laughing with the Zen master, but from his eye movements that glance at the scoreboard from time to time, it can be seen that he is not as calm as imagined.

On the day when Pippen's jersey is retired, it is enough to "inherit" Pippen, and it would be impolite to continue.

Bulls coach Skiles is also having a hard time.

With an 8-point difference, I feel that I haven't given up yet, but if I continue to resist and let Mo Wen score two three-pointers, tomorrow's headlines may not be the news about Pippen's jersey retirement!
"MVP!" "MVP!"

"We want Jordan!" "We want Jordan!"

In the remains of this god, fans used their voices to express their dissatisfaction with the team.

In front of the camera, Jordan shrugged with a smile on his face, while Mo Wen blew a few kisses in the direction of calling MVP.

Mo Wen's polite response had unforeseen consequences. The voice of MVP spread from that small area, and gradually spread and infected the entire arena.

Jordan turned his head to look at Paxson on the side, but Paxson did not feel disappointed because of such a scene.

Damn, something is wrong with this guy!
On the other side, Second Master Pi was dumbfounded. What the hell, are the tears and cheers these fans shed for him just now true?
An hour ago, they were still swearing forever, and an hour later, before he left, the group of fans couldn't wait to run into the arms of that young and vigorous young man in front of him.

Face to face scum, right?
He held the soft hand of his sexy wife next to him, and hugged the child in front of him. Fortunately, he still has a lover who loves him, and a child who loves him.

Those who are more uncomfortable than Pippen are these Bulls youths.

Most of them have also worked hard for the Bulls for two or three seasons, but they have rarely heard collective praise from the fans.

They understand, because the 6 waving flags decorate the home so brilliantly that they don't deserve it.

But who would have thought that the "beautiful lady" who didn't get much response no matter how hard they tried in the past, would turn around and play melodiously under the tall, rich and handsome outsider in this magnificent home.

【I'm not sad, it's nothing, it's just why tears flow...】

Skiles didn't arrange it, and felt that the green Bulls player on his head took the initiative to target Mo Wen.

It's a bit exaggerated to start double-teaming from beyond the three-point line, but they don't have a choice.

The two of them didn't pose much pressure on Mo Wen.

Whether it's before bed or after bed, he has a great experience.

In such a large space outside the three-point line, it is still not possible to get started, whether to double-team or not, whether to defend or not is their business, and whether to enter or not is basically a matter of Mo Wen.

But Da Fan felt that it was almost time to stop.

If the Big Three are always there, it doesn't matter if they are rampant.

But after Mo Wen leaves next season, he will have to fight alone.

Now that there is a lot of hatred, he may not be able to hold back when he pays off the debt next season.

After Mo Wen scored two more assists, seeing that the point difference had once again opened to double digits, Da Fan replaced Mo Wen.

"The record of Maikou will be broken soon. You won't be angry if I replace you?" Da Fan's face was apologetic.

"It doesn't matter, it's just Maikou's record." Mo Wen wiped his sweat and said calmly.

Look, what is "pattern"!
After winning this game, the Heat once again completed a wave of three consecutive victories.

And in the just-concluded All-Star round of voting, Mo Wen was the crushing No. [-]. He no longer needed to rely on explosive performances to increase his popularity.

According to the official information disclosed by the league, even if the domestic votes are not counted, his vote rate in the United States is the same as that of Azhan, and Iverson, the junior superstar, surpassed Nash and Naka in the West.

As for the other important list besides the All-Star list, the MVP list, Mo Wen wasn't very interested.

MVP, according to the record-breaking results of the Heat this season, he has a chance to compete, but the points reduction brought by the grouping is too great.

Unless he dived headlong into the sewer and ignored the triple-double, otherwise, even if he got it, he would be criticized in the future.

Not to mention Nash, who is still killing the sun with the remnants of the West, and Kobe, who failed to average 30+ per game but brought the Lakers back to the top three in the West.

Cavalier Zhan also rose.

After Ajan got Reed's assistance, his scoring dropped slightly, but his assists and team leadership performance have improved a lot compared to the original history.

Larisius was "CBA" mainly because he has a breakthrough style of play, and his breakthrough efficiency can only be said to be qualified, his shooting ability is insufficient, and injuries have invaded, which led to his performance next to Azhan. The year is not as good as the year.

But Reed is currently the top five off-ball shooter in the league, and he also has a low-post singles practiced when he was the boss.

Does not stick to the ball, the main offensive method is to catch and shoot the ball, has a strong ability to move without the ball, has three-pointers, and has the ability to catch pots in the low post.

Like?
Peerless pot!

A match made in heaven!

Love you 1 years!

He James finally has his own Scott Wade!
The chemical reaction between the two is quite good, and their outside performance is not at all inferior to Mo Wen and Wade last season.

In the East this year, the Heat are the only one, the Pistons are one notch weaker, and the Cavaliers are half a notch weaker than the Pistons.

If it weren't for the Heat's exaggerated lineup, Ajan would have directly declared "Cleveland Championship".

With an average of 29 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists per game, such all-round statistics, coupled with the great improvement in leading the team, Ajan has so far been on par with Nash in the MVP list.

Mo Wen is very worried about A-Zhan. If he is really lucky enough to win this season's MVP, it will also be able to trigger A-Zhan in the "Mo Clause", and the contract extension will skyrocket to an exaggerated level.

At that time, will Azhan also fall into the "wolf king's dilemma"-can't let go of a big contract, can't find a good teammate, and has to be kidnapped by a big contract, and dare not mention leaving before the age of 30.

The status of King Nanuo... Oh no, what about A-Zhan's historical status?
……

The time is getting closer and closer to Christmas.

Stern finally became a man, and instead of arranging a holiday for the Heat, he arranged the Christmas game in Miami.

rest?

It is impossible to rest.

The heat of the Heat this year has surpassed any team in the four major sports leagues in North America, and it is not far behind the Bulls with 72 wins.

If you don't squeeze the Heat dry, you won't be sorry for his seat!

Opponents, needless to say?

Naturally, it is the Lakers who have regained the top three in the West.

Kobe, who originally triggered the "isolated and helpless" passive in history, played the peak personal performance of his career this season, averaging 35+5+4 per game, becoming the first player after Jordan to average 35+ points per game in a season.

30+ is a daily operation, all kinds of 40+, 50+, 60+, and even the earth-shattering 81 points, finally alarmed Stern and asked him to personally reshape the golden body for Kobe.

It's a pity that Kobe, who has Xiaopao and Madman, is doomed to miss the above.

O'Pang's early success stimulated Kobe's early growth.

In individual wins and team wins, after taking the position of boss, he chose the team.

Currently, his scoring average is only 29.5 points.

He still retains an average of 20+ shots per game, but part of the possession of the ball is given to Paul, who has shown good talent.

Although Paul is usually bullied miserably by Kobe and the madman, he is also a "junior" who knows current affairs.

Although sometimes I can't stand being stinky by the two old guys, and I get beaten up when I talk back, but when it's time to pass the ball, I am unambiguous, highlighting the development of forbearance.

The original serve... the dribble guard has become a point guard, and the bench also has a qualified sixth man, a madman. A talented man like Kwame Brown has also improved a lot compared to the original history under the activation of the small cannon.

The lineup is becoming more reasonable and luxurious, and the Lakers' record has also risen all the way.

No one has dared to say the Lakers championship, but the voices are already very high for reaching the second round and even returning to the Western Conference Finals.

On December 12, when they came to Miami, the Lakers players who changed from winter clothes to long sleeves did not feel much warmth.

That sullen, cold-blooded animal has been on high-pressure mode since he got on the plane.

As soon as he arrived at the hotel, before he had time to catch his breath, Kobe broke open the guest rooms of other Lakers players, and took his teammates to the nearest arena to start warming up.

Xiaopao rarely complained but chose to cooperate.

Because he also wants to have a good look at the strongest point guard who leads the strongest team in the league.

"Listen, semi-finished product, I don't care if it's Staples or not, I don't want to see you get dunked by some fat guy, or easily push you away, I don't care what method you use to contain him, as long as you are still on the court, If he deducts 1 on your head, then I will deduct 10 from you when I go back, 2 from you, and 100 from you, and if he deducts 3 from you..."

"111?" Nervously, Kwame Brown exhausted his life's mathematical talents to give the answer.

"It's 1000, idiot. Did your PE teacher teach you your math?" Kobe sighed helplessly. "It's true to call you a semi-finished product!"

Kwame Brown, who was unusable in history, can play a role in front of Paul's cake, and has advanced from "waste" to "semi-finished product"

"Don't just ask others, Kobe, if being the boss is all about assigning tasks, then whoever is the boss is not the same?"

Unwilling to be humiliated by his "love general", Paul stood up.

"Aha, your skin is itchy again? Hehe, I'm just thirsty, rookie, buy me two drinks, colorful ones."

Speaking of which, Kobe took out 500 dollars from his pocket and handed it over.

Xiao Pao took a deep breath, clenched his fist behind his back, gritted his teeth, rolled his eyes with vengeance, and grabbed the money.

"How many deductions and points can O'Neal get in a game? If you have the ability, you can defend Mo's three-pointer! That is what can help the game win. Do you dare to bet that you will let Mo Shoot one, I will shoot you 10 when I go back, shoot 2, I will shoot you 100, he will shoot 3..."

"What if I block his three-pointer?" Kobe asked with interest.

"I'll give you 1000!" Paul said firmly.

"Yes boy!" Kobe responded.

"Huh? What are you still doing standing there? Hurry up and buy water!"

……

On Christmas Eve, Mo Wen, who was about to go back to his room to enjoy the "Christmas dinner", suddenly received two text message notifications from his mobile phone.

Unlock to view——

【Hey, Mo, I'm Kobe. In tomorrow's game, I'll make a bet to prevent your three-pointer. If you don't want to be blown away by me, prepare well! 】

what?
Mo Wen scratched his head?

Is this from Kobe?
Why did Kobe post this late at night?
It's too naive to want to mess with his mentality, right?
Kobe's phone number... Oh, he didn't make a note, but think about it, no one else in the Lakers has his phone number except Kobe and Odom, right?
Forget it, don’t worry about it, I’ll check with Human later.

Let's talk about it another day.
