basketball never sleeps

Chapter 22 What 11 points, only 8 points

"Francis is a little agitated, is he eager for a rebound?"

Su Qun, who didn't see clearly what happened, still didn't understand.

But Zhang Weiping, who had experience as a player, understood it, and chuckled beside him.

In this era of advocating retreat and confrontation, players who are truly innocent will only suffer from boredom.

Mo Wen still kept his hand. He has already controlled the strength of this elbow, and the point of the elbow is deliberately avoiding the face and neck. The elbow is the part below the collarbone. If he is a little bit harder, Francis may need a stretcher now. It's over.

The referee who was watching from the bottom line just now also felt that Francis overreacted a little bit. He was fighting for rebounds. A little physical contact is not normal.

Francis was not injured or bleeding just now. He covered his pectoralis major with one hand and howled from somewhere, looking like a shrew who had been eaten tofu.

It wasn't that Dayao stopped Boss Fu, the referee even wanted to send Francis a technical foul.

Little Van Gundy called a timeout in a timely manner to replace Francis. He was a little dissatisfied with Francis just now.

Pass the ball to Yao Ming, what are you singled out for!
If you are singled out, why not find the opponent's defensive strength to single out, if you can't break through, fight back!

After Norris replaced Francis, the Rockets also resumed their normal rhythm.

It can be said that Norris's playing is better than that of Francis, but he has an advantage, that is, he is willing to pass the ball to Yao Ming.

Larry Brown on the other side originally wanted Mo Wen to play for three or four minutes, but he didn't expect Mo Wen to play a very exciting defensive performance during this time, so he held down Prince first.

Mo Wen's performance didn't stop at defense either. Knowing that he didn't have much playing time, he showed his physical strength on both offense and defense.

He still remembers the joke that Dayao just said.

It's a bit difficult to win against Dayao, but it's not impossible.

Most of the attention is on those two when Hamilton runs the lane and Billups holds the ball in the high post.

Mo Wen, who was on the edge of the high post, took advantage of defender Jim Jackson's inattention and made an empty cut towards the basket.

Billups saw Mo Wen's movement from the corner of his eye. He pretended to look at the running Hamilton, but the ball in his hand was thrown straight in the direction of Mo Wen's movement.

Mo Wen received the ball comfortably, then jumped up under Dayao's gaze, and lightly dunked the ball into the basket.

"Two points, Brother Yao."

Mo Wen flicked two fingers.

Yao Ming squeezed his fist, this kid can do it.

In the Rockets' offensive round, Dayao, holding his breath, received a pass from mid-range as he wished. Facing Da Ben who was coming over him, he did not choose to make a hard attack.

Daben is not as heavy and tall as him, but he is very tough in defense. Yao Ming has top-level lower body strength, but his upper body strength is slightly weaker. The movement of Daben against his waist looks funny, but it really makes Yao Ming bad. Forced to hard top to the inside.

But after all, Yao Ming is not my elder brother who can only hit the inside with one hand. After the other retreated, Yao Ming turned sideways and withdrew the foot stuck in the inside, and his silky turnaround jump shot was a little bit backward.

Swah——

Big Ben's already dark face became even darker at this moment. The big man with 2 meters in shoes is shooting backwards from the outside?
No face!
All of you big men who can shoot, have your sentence changed, cut in half!

Feeling the smell of danger and trembling, Okur picked up the ball and passed it to the responding Hamilton, who dribbled two steps before passing it to Billups.

And when the Pistons players are all in position, there are two directions thinking about Billups beckoning for the ball.

In fact, Norris facing Billups is the Rockets' defensive weakness.

But Larry Brown, who is usually quite enlightened in the rotation, is as infected by Fan Tuo today. Billups only took a 2-minute break when it was almost halftime.

Is it passed to Okur who played Kato, or Mo Wen who played Jim?

Of course it was Mo Wen.

There is an unwritten unspoken rule in the NBA - when a certain game has special meaning to a certain player in the team (birthday, revenge on the old club, player grievances, national derby of international players, etc.), give that player as much as possible opportunity for performance.

Seeing that the ball was passed to Mo Wen, Jim Jackson, who was in charge of defending him, was a little nervous. He saw it when Boss F and the old cat were fighting Mo Wen just now. This kid is not a gentleman like Yao Ming, but rather like a Like those ball ruffians who came out of the slums.

Who knows if this kid will bring private goods with him when he attacks.

Facing Jim Jackson, Mo Wen was not careless in the slightest. This buddy in front of him is also a legend. He has changed 10 teams in 10 years, played at least 50 times in each season, has been wandering around, and is always wanted.The reason, besides the low asking price of his salary, is the 3D attribute of his panacea.

Mo Wen, who received the ball, did not choose to start with a three-threat, but showed off his dribble in front of Jim, a 3D player.

In terms of dribbling, Mo Wen is not talented, but he has more than 1000 game experience, and his dribbling (74) is the attribute that he first reached the upper limit of his potential.

His dribbling does not have the unrestrained aura of "Ou Shenxian", nor does Iverson have the freedom of combining people and balls. He is more like 077. His seemingly stable dribbling hides the murderous intent of rhythm changes.

After two slow dribbles, Mo Wen suddenly sped up and pulled up the breakthrough, but then pulled back half a step after the breakthrough. Step by step towards Jim's front foot.

Jim, who was dizzy, could only barely maintain his balance by pointing his fingers, but Mo Wen had already rushed behind Jim. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Dayao's movement of returning to defense, and he paused directly at the free throw line. Push the ball quickly and steadily.

Mo Wen's CIC is only 74 (potential 75), but it is enough for him to hit this ball without interference.

Boom—swish——

The basketball first landed on the board, and then bounced steadily into the basket.

Yao Ming, who was halfway there, could only spread his hands.

Although he was helpless on the surface, he was still happy in his heart.

With offensive ability, this kid really can.

This kid must be pulled to the national basketball team!

Although Larry Brown was a little dissatisfied that Mo Wen didn't rush to the basket and forcefully face Yao Ming for a layup.But the ball went smoothly from the open shot to the hit, and he couldn't find anything wrong with it.

"Mo Wen, this breakthrough, this CIC, hey, it's really stable."

Su Qun praised Mo Wen's textbook standard shooting action in the photo just taken.

"It smells like Xiao Hu before."

Zhang Weiping also nodded.

Mo Wen gestured four to Dayao before turning back to defend.

It was the Rockets' offensive round again. This time, Norris, who was closely watched by Billups, did not dare to pass the ball easily, but chose to make a breakthrough himself.

But the defense that gave Francis a headache could not be broken by Norris, a less talented substitute.

After the breakthrough was blocked, Norris gave the ball to the old cat. The old cat feinted twice with the ball and failed to shake Hamilton, and then passed the ball to Cato next to him.

Cato hesitated for half a second when he received the ball, and looked at Okur's pork belly and felt that it was hit.

But his clumsy technique obviously did not dare to force this job. Under Okur's interference, he made a hasty shot and hit the iron, and the rebound was first clicked by the taller Yao.

Just when Dayao received the rebound and was about to make a second attack, he suddenly felt someone attacking him from behind, his hands trembled, and he almost lost his grip on the ball.

Who poked my back?

Looking back, it turned out that it was Mo Wen, a clever little ghost, who wanted to take out his ball.

And when Dayao made a move, Mo Wen had wittily returned to Jim Jackson's side.

It's a pity that I couldn't interfere.

Gritting his teeth, Dayao failed to complete the goal, but also caused a foul by Big Ben.

"Don't push yourself too hard, kid."

Dayao gritted his teeth and said as he passed by Mo Wen.

"I'm joking, Brother Yao, this is my defensive style."

Mo Wen said with a hippie smile.

Dayao suddenly understood why Mo Wen's Piston teammates wanted to trouble him.

You can't say that his defense is against the rules. This small action within the rules is really annoying.

After Yao Ming made two free throws, there were still more than ten seconds before halftime.

The Pistons slowly organized an attack, and Mo Wen, who received the pass in the middle, did not choose to play by himself, but passed it to Hamilton who ran out of space.

Unfortunately, Hamilton did not seize the opportunity and missed the shot.

After the first half, the Pistons beat the Rockets 47:40.

The wave of "school exams" against Mo Wen among Boss Fu became the key to widening the score difference.

大姚在上半场出场18分钟，9投5中，罚球4中4，得到14分5个篮板2助攻，以一己之力支撑着火箭的希望。而莫闻出场7分钟，2投2中，得到4分2篮板1抢断，在有限的时限内表现得也相当亮眼。

Back in the second half, Larry Brown still traded for Prince.Mo Wen is doing well, but the long-armed and long-legged Prince is his true love. (Collis: What about me, what about me?)

Yao Ming continued to rest for 4 minutes at the beginning of the third quarter, but the Rockets, lacking inside pillars, were almost unable to withstand it.

Okur used him to fire frequently in the middle distance, opening the difference between the two teams to 11 points.

Although little Van Gundy didn't want to give up the game so easily, he sent Dayao again. Seeing that the advantage is not small, Larry Brown will also replace Mo Wen, but this time he pushes down with a full run. Hamilton at halftime.

"Meet Brother Yao again." Mo Wen greeted with a smile.

Francis on the other side of the field gritted his teeth, but after seeing that Mo Wen replaced Hamilton, he felt that he was overwhelmed.

This guy is not in the same position as me, why provoke him?

Boss Fu patted the old cat on the shoulder, come on, young man!

The old cat looked at Prince at 2 meters and Mo Wen at 06 meters, and then glanced eagerly at Jim Jackson next to him. Brother, why don't we switch defense targets?
Jim Jackson watched his nose, his nose, and his heart, expressing that he must stand on his guard and keep his responsibilities. He would never let Prince break through the Rockets' defense line and guard the rear for you, brother.

Mobley was ready for a heroic sacrifice, but he found that Mo Wen's movements on both offense and defense were much smaller.

The main reason is that Mo Wen has already evaluated Mobley's offensive and defensive capabilities through observation and the test just now. He can do good things with his strength, and there is no need to use small moves to offend people all the time.

···
"8 points, Brother Yao."

When Mo Wen scored his eighth point of the game, Yao Ming admitted that he panicked.

He is very popular in the NBA now, but when he returned to the national team and met Li Nan, he still had to bow his head and call him brother. He found out that this is a joke in the NBA, and this bet can't be played randomly.

Especially if you don't know the opponent's strength.

But fortunately, Mo Wen played for 4 minutes in the third quarter before Larry Brown was replaced.

After playing for 3 minutes in the fourth quarter, the Rockets not only failed to catch up with the point difference, but fell behind by 15 points.

With both teams scoring only 20 points in the first quarter, it is impossible to catch up.

Jr. Van Gundy replaced Yao Mingjin and retreated, and the Pistons also replaced the human victory cigar - Milicic.

This nickname was recently given to him by ESPN experts, because Milicic has won 14 of the 12 games he has played so far.

So far, Milicic has the highest winning percentage among all rookies in the 03 class who have played more than 10 times.

The Pistons don't win, he doesn't play.

But in the last 2 minutes, something happened that made Dayao heartbroken, and the Pistons replaced Mo Wen for some reason.

"Let Mo play for another two points." Dumars once again found Larry Brown.

In the case of a sure win, the coach is omnipotent.

Mo Wen got playing time again in the last 3 minutes. After a mid-range shot missed, he made another successful three-pointer from the bottom corner.

He excitedly gestured to Yao Ming on the bench for eleven points, and Yao Ming just shook his head.

At the end of the game, the Pistons won the China Derby 94:82.

"Brother Yao, it's 11 points, remember to keep your word."

"What 11 points, only 8 points." Dayao said confidently.

"Brother Yao, are you going to play tricks?" Mo Wen took a step back.

"I'm talking about scoring 11 points on my head. I wasn't there at the end, so of course your score doesn't count." Dayao spread his hands proudly.

"Also, it's time for us to settle the score just now. Your boy has slapped me a few times just now. Do you want me to pull up my clothes and count with you..."

Looking at Dayao approaching with a grinning grin, Mo Wen was determined not to suffer the immediate loss.

"Oh, I suddenly remembered that our coach seems to be looking for me. I'll take a step first. Bye bye Brother Yao. I'll go to Houston to play with you later."

Seeing Mo Wen slipping away, before Yao Ming could catch up with his clothes, Mo Wen's back disappeared into the player tunnel.

"Your waist was fit by him. Hey, what are you doing? Look at mine."

Francis also pulled up his jersey, but he couldn't see anything from his black skin.

"Fu*k, forget it, nothing to see."
