basketball never sleeps

Chapter 251 Accepting a disciple?

The referee whistled a technical foul on McGrady, and Van Gaal took him back to the bench in time.

The third quarter wasn't over yet, and the 3-point difference seemed to be within reach, but looking at McGrady's devastated expression, anyone could tell that there was no chance of winning.

During private training, McGrady was often ridiculed by Kobe, and the words he used were much worse than Mo Wen's.

But the lethality of Kobe's ten thousand words cannot compare to Mo Wen's one sentence.

Because...what Mo Wen said was true.

When he pushed Mo Wen just now, he had the urge to fight with Mo Wen.

But Mo Wen's turning back, his final sneer, and his disdainful look stabbed him in the heart again.

He really wanted to say that he was already very strong, but he couldn't refute Mo Wen's words.

Am I really not strong enough?

McGrady did not stay on the sidelines. He stood up and walked towards the locker room. The frustration stimulated his tear glands and he did not want to continue to embarrass himself in front of the camera.

"McGrady should apologize to Mo after the game. His previous provocation was even more clownish than a clown. I totally cannot understand his previous remarks. Hasn't he woken up from his years as the Magic's scoring champion?" Barkley curled his lips.

"Even when he was in the Magic, he was not as highly regarded as Mo Wen. In my opinion, Mo Wen was already a better player for the team than him when he was in his sophomore year."

I thought that after saying so many harsh words, you would definitely give everyone a hard time. Not to mention beating the Supersonics, at least you would have to compete with us in scoring high points like Iverson did. But in the end, nothing came of it.

"If Kobe watched the game, he would be very familiar with it. He was the same in the season after Shaq left. President Stern really took care of these guards too much, so that they lacked basic knowledge and respect for big men."

Kenny Smith sighed. Every time he thought about his career, he couldn't help but want to give two thumbs up to Dream. He really couldn't understand why McGrady would take the initiative to conflict with a big man who was firmly in the top three in active service.

Barkley thought of something and couldn't help curling his lips.

"Maybe it's not that important. If there were players with the abilities of Mo, Nash or Kidd, the relationship between big men and guards would be reversed. Look at Tyson Chandler, who was previously considered a waste, but has now been turned into a high-quality 10+10 inside player by Mo. Milicic's efficiency has also improved this season."

Kenny Smith didn't say anything, but given Barkley's experience, he had reason to say that.

In the final quarter, Mo Wen did not play again, but left the task of widening the score gap to his teammates.

He promised to bring everyone a fruit plate as an incentive, encouraging the players to show themselves to their heart's content on both offense and defense.

Mo Wen wanted to widen the score gap as much as possible, not only to respond to McGrady's remarks, but also to target the Mo dog squatting on the sidelines of the Rockets. This would be enough for him to cause trouble every time he met the Rockets in the future.

Old Hill did not follow the unspoken rules to prevent the players from continuing to widen the score. He felt that the Rockets should be responsible for McGrady's behavior. The team should pay for the players' behavior, and it should be so.

Gay, Millsap and Francisco built a strong defense in the final quarter, and they severely defeated the Rockets who lacked the ability to break through.

Atkins, who finally got playing time, also played at full power, able to break through and shoot, and performed well.

Without McGrady's involvement, the Rockets could only gamble on 3 points, but their hit rate was quite abstract, and they only scored 9 points in the entire quarter.

Van Van tried his best to stop the Supersonics from committing a tragedy, but he could not do anything without the ingredients. McGrady went back to the locker room, Bonzi Wells was DNPed by him, and the remaining players either could not play or could not play.

Mutombo, who was originally supposed to join the Rockets, also followed Yao Ming's footsteps and went to the Warriors.

He is in his 40s and really doesn't want to start.

When the score difference widened to 40 points, Xiao Fan stopped struggling.

Maybe it's time for him to change his environment and take a rest.

At the end of the game, the Supersonics achieved the score difference that Mo Wen had expected before the game - 50 points.

This set a new record for the Rockets' biggest home point difference.

Mo Wen's performance of 42 points and 15 assists completely suppressed McGrady's 37 points and 7 rebounds.

He is still very good, but compared to Mo Wen...just stay away from him.

Game wins, matchup performance, statistics, leadership ability - all aspects of suppression, McGrady always thought he was pretty good, but after comparing like this...

Reporters who interviewed him after the game could all see his jade.

With the Nuggets scoring 58 and the Nets scoring 57, the media also jokingly called this 50-point game a "small punishment."

After this game, Mo Wen also achieved an achievement, which was to gather all the "four major shooting guards".

The league even specially released a set of pictures for this purpose, all of which were pictures of the four major shooting guards with ferocious expressions, but Mo Wen completing his shots calmly.

Domestic fans were delighted and this set of pictures sold out instantly, even better than the erotic pictures, but it caused quite a backlash in the United States.

What happened to the local stars? Is the league really going to be ruled by a Chinese?

Suddenly, there was no need for the president to create stars, and the fans began to spontaneously look for the stars of tomorrow.

Some people looked at Wade crawling in the mud, some looked at James who fought again and again after repeated defeats, and some reflected on whether there was something wrong with the training system for grassroots players in the United States, why they could not train a Mo Wen...

……

After leaving the Rockets, the Supersonics rushed to Dallas without stopping.

Before the game, the Mavericks players didn't say anything harsh. The Supersonics won by 50 points. Although the Mavericks were confident that they could beat the Rockets, they still felt a lot of pressure facing the Supersonics' winning momentum.

The Mavericks' lineup did not change much during the offseason, retaining the main players from last season's finals and only making minor adjustments to the bench.

Mo Wen made an appointment to have dinner with Sun Yue before the game.

After being selected by the Mavericks with the first pick in the second round, Sun Dasheng did not receive the extremely high salary he had in the history of the Lakers - he earned a total of 28 US dollars for 44 minutes on the court.

The Mavericks took a fancy to his 3D attributes, but unfortunately his three-point shooting is not stable enough now. However, considering his first draft pick in the second round, he was still given a lot of playing time. When playing against weak teams, he can get five or six minutes in each game.

However, he still failed to compete with Devin George, who jumped from the Lakers, in the competition for the main rotation.

"You have to have some confidence in yourself. In China, even if you are a little shy, there is basically no one with better physical skills than you, so the coach has to use you anyway. Here, if you are not a little muddleheaded, how can you compete with others?"

Sun Yue's performance in international competitions was not bad. He blocked Kobe, Melo, and Howard, which was more impressive than the Polish devil. Although his strengths are not strong enough in the NBA, his functionality is a little worse, and his shooting problem is also big, but he is definitely good enough to be a substitute role player.

"I watch them flying in the sky every day, and the pressure brought by the gap is very depressing." Sun Yue shook his head with a wry smile. He also came here with the idea of ​​making a career, but now only the gym can give him a sense of security.

"As a rookie, you will definitely feel frustrated if you compare yourself with veteran players. Just adapt slowly. When I was with the Pistons, I didn't play for half a season. The Mavericks are also a championship contender. If you don't fight hard, you will probably be like a bus and not even make the playoff roster."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yue's expression changed obviously, and Mo Wen knew that there was no need for him to say anything.

Daba got a championship ring, which was very enviable in the domestic player circle at the beginning. But as Mo Wen won 3 rings and 3 FMVPs in 2 years, no one saw Daba showing off his ring recently.

Sun Yue has a bit of a muddle-headed approach, but he was picked first overall and it would be a bit too cheap for him to end up on the same level as the non-drafted players who entered the NBA.

Mo Wen really wanted to win the evening game. Although the Mavericks were eliminated in the first round in history, if they hadn't met old Nelson, the Mavericks with 67 wins would at least advance to... the second round.

This season's Nowitzki is very similar to the French-Cameroonian American in the 22nd season. His mid-range and long-range shots seem unstoppable, but he still has flaws in top shots and dealing with double-teams. Only his statistics are fine.

Nowitzki is the first person after Danzi to develop a large number of shots within 10 feet to the three-point line and achieve a hit rate of over 50%.

Even Kobe, who is famous for his long two-point shots, couldn't perform like this throughout his career.

Considering that he still has a 40% three-point shooting percentage and a 90% free throw shooting percentage this season, if we can't find his weak spot, Nowitzki will be simply unstoppable.

The Mavericks did not give the Supersonics any chance in tonight's game. In the absence of their star player Ray Allen in back-to-back games, the Supersonics were unable to outshine the Mavericks in terms of overall firepower.

Young General Johnson was not stubborn this time. He double-teamed Mo Wen from the beginning. Whether Mo Wen passed the ball or played without the ball to attract the defense and let his teammates distribute the ball, he failed to achieve the desired effect.

The Mavericks' defense has also entered the top sequence under the coaching of the young general, with their average points allowed per game second only to the Spurs and Pistons.

Millsap, who was highly expected by Mo Wen, did not play the desired effect. His aggressiveness was seriously insufficient compared to Haslem of the Heat, and his defensive experience was also much worse.

Gay, who scored 23 points in the last game, hit the rookie wall, had physical problems and his efficiency collapsed.

Milicic's performance on the offensive end was okay, but he was always tricked into committing fouls when defending Nowitzki.

Although both of them are white players from Europe, the referee obviously favored the German team more.

Under the arrangement of Coach Johnson, Danpi also played a role against Tyson Chandler. He kept blocking Tyson and made it difficult for him to get to the basket, so Tyson only scored 6 points tonight.

Mo Wen still scored 36 points with good efficiency, and got 6 blocks on the defensive end against the two short guards Jason Terry and Devin Harris, but he was still unable to turn the tide in the face of his poor teammates and handed over another victory.

After the game, Jason Terry, who was defended by Mo Wen and shot 13 of 3 and made 4 turnovers, was very excited in front of the camera——

"Supersonics? They're a good team; Mo? They're a good opponent; but we are the strongest team, and Dirk is the most suitable player to be elected MVP!"

Young General Johnson's face turned green when he heard Jason Terry's words. He immediately thought of those idiots who liked to mock Danzi whenever they achieved some success.

Not to mention that the Supersonics gave up a Ray Allen in this game. Even if they didn't, there was a player like Mo on the other side. How dare you say this?

Mo Wen didn't feel any special emotion after hearing this from the reporter, but the other Supersonics players were very angry.

Jason Terry's behavior is like a loser who wins the game 0-13 and then types "recruiting a disciple" on the public screen.

It's so fucking ironic.

Mo Wen wasn't that angry. He just took out his little notebook and made a light note on it.

[Desire: Nets 45 points... 57 points cleared]

[Ao: A greenhorn digger...58 has been cleared]

[Angry: Rockets' McGrady boasted... 50 has been cleared]

[Greed: Mavericks MVP aspirant...]

……

The sweet and soft little Catherine was still sleeping soundly. Mo Wen did not disturb her sweet dream, but just gently pulled his arm away.

Downstairs, Sister Ruth had almost finished preparing breakfast.

A salad without dressing of broccoli, beetroot, lettuce, eggs, chicken breast, a slice of steak, coffee beans and milk, and untoasted bread.

Ruth, who got up early, didn't dress up much. She only tied her loose and thick hair up slightly at shoulder height. Her pajamas were loose, but the kitchen apron outlined her good figure. She exuded a very homely atmosphere.

There is curling smoke from the small village house, and there is a virtuous wife, a good mother and a beautiful mature woman.

Mo Wen didn't know why, but he smelled the scent on Ruth's shoulder.

Driven by instinct, a pair of long arms also began to practice ball control.

"Hmm, don't be like this."

"Sister, you smell so good."

Mo Wen pressed his lips against her cheek, as if he wanted to wrap her up and enjoy the softness of the beautiful woman.

Neither Catherine nor her brother has the habit of getting up early, so this morning time belongs to the two of them alone.

"I really can't help you. Don't go in. I'll take some samples and help you analyze them later."

The professor of kinesiology lay down on the kitchen counter, raised his feet slightly, and adjusted his body position to a position that was in line with physiological science.

Mo Wen would of course not be polite to her. He had a good night's sleep last night and it was a good opportunity to make up for it today.

"You're not going to use it for IVF, are you?"

"Go to hell. If you want a child, I can help you change Catherine's BY medicine, but I won't help you give birth." Ruth spat. A five-person sex was ridiculous enough, and he wanted to get four women pregnant. This man was too greedy.

……

After playing against the Mavericks, the Supersonics' away game streak is over. They have 10 days of home games next, and then it's the Christmas game.

The two consecutive defeats made many people realize that the Supersonics have not yet reached the point where they are unstoppable.

Mo Wen already has MVP-level strength, but an MVP also needs reliable helpers to compete with equally top-level teams.

Stern also breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to use the gimmick of the bet between Seattle and the Supersonics to create a strong team in the Western Conference, but he did not want to see a team suddenly emerge that would disrupt the balance of the league.

If the Supersonics can really continue their winning streak, he might start holding meetings to make patches.

He is now thinking about how to deal with the Supersonics if they win the championship next season.

After all, Mo Wen and Ray Allen have very long contracts, plus Milicic's contract renewal next season, Tyson's long contract, and the two rookies of the Supersonics who have performed well... If this is not split, how can other teams compete?

As the Supersonics took a brief pause, other teams saw hope of sprinting to the top of the league and started to move forward.
