basketball never sleeps

Chapter 265 Growth Template

"We have tried everything but failed to stop him from scoring. He always finds opportunities from the three-point line to the basket. I have never seen a player who plays like him. He almost meets all people's fantasies about a super scorer. Unfortunately, we are standing on the opposite side of him."

"Before today, I also thought that Mo's organizational style of passing the ball around was the same as LeBron's, just selfishness wrapped in selflessness. But after today, I hope that media friends will stop making rumors. Mo is a selfless player, and he must be a selfless player!"

"Everyone once thought that Michael Dunk was the limit of players in the real world, but Mo showed us a new ceiling. What's more terrifying is that he is only 23 years old. God, such a person is actually in the same division as us!"

As a successful coach, George Karl has told countless lies and nonsense in his life, but today he was more sincere than ever before.

He didn't know if he could fall asleep tonight, but he knew that the days ahead would probably become more and more difficult.

Review?

It's time to review the game, but not to review this nightmare game, but to review the transaction of the golden double guns.

There might be some randomness in Mo Wen’s outburst, but one thing is certain: the golden double guns alone cannot defeat Mo Wen.

If the Nuggets want to achieve success in the Western Conference, what they need is definitely not tinkering around with the two guns, but a major change.

He once thought that the firepower of the two guns was enough to cover their shortcomings in defense, but judging from the situation on the field today, they would probably be beaten to a pulp the next time they met Mo Wen.

The Sonics' locker room was packed with people after the wash-up period.

Most of the reporters had been sent to the press conference, but there were still many people who wanted to be the first to see Mo Wen's reaction and thoughts after scoring so high.

To their disappointment, Mo Wen looked no different from usual.

He calmly accepted blessings from his teammates, joked with old Hill, and cared about Ray Allen's injury.

No way, sir, you just scored 88 points, why do you act like you just had a casual meal?
That’s 88 points!

Three years ago, the Pistons, a championship team, might not have been able to get this score even if the entire team tried their best for a whole game!

It seems like there should be some reaction?
After taking the statistics sheet handed over by the team staff, Mo Wen knew that it was time for the classic archiving phase again.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Wen did not start writing under the envious gaze of his teammates, but handed the paper and pen to Milicic next to him.

Writing Arabic numerals is too monotonous, so Mo Wen thought of using his teammates' signatures to form [88].

No matter what, he could not get this score without the support of his teammates. His ability certainly played a decisive role, but true success can never be achieved by him alone.

Schrempf put his arm around Payton's shoulders and exclaimed, "The most terrifying thing is not that he scored the highest single-game score in the NBA in 50 years, but that he clearly accounted for nearly 7% of the team's shots, and everyone still thought he was a team player."

"I've said it before, this kid has won championships since he entered the league and it's definitely not because of luck... he deserves to succeed!" Payton was chewing gum, and Danzi's figure popped up in his mind again.

Forget it, don’t get involved, we’re really not familiar with each other.

Thousands of miles away in New York, Stern also called back employees overnight to urgently prepare for follow-up publicity work.

There is no doubt that Mo Wen's 88 points is a great fortune for the NBA.

Historically, when Kobe scored 81 points, he snatched the hot searches away from the NFL divisional finals.

Even with Americans' poor math skills, one can feel the horror of Mo Wen's scoring data.

Football has suffered a great loss in this regard. Although every goal on the football field can make people excited, in the promotion of stars, usually only the data of the entire season can give people a little shock.

He scored 17 goals in a single Champions League season. If you are not a football fan, you would never guess who he is.

Some time ago, the league was discussing the idea of ​​replacing the theme slogan "I love this game" that had been used for a while with "Where miracles happen"

Mo Wen's performance today fits perfectly with the NBA's new slogan.

Ape dung!
In other words, Stern is old. If he were younger, he would have called Mo Wen "husband" at least.

As he thought about it, two figures, one yellow and one red, flashed through Stern's mind, and a feeling of immorality emerged in his heart.

I'm sorry, it's not that I don't love you anymore, it's just that man... is just too awesome.

At the press conference, Mo Wen wore sunglasses, and under the flashes of photographers, the light bulbs on the ceiling seemed a bit redundant.

A reporter asked Mo Wen what he felt after scoring so high. Apart from thanking his teammates as usual, Mo Wen was not too modest.

"In fact, I did think about trying to score 100 points. I didn't expect my touch to be so good. Ray got injured at a very bad time. If he had been injured earlier, not only would he have recovered earlier, but I might have had a chance to challenge the NBA's single-game record score."

"Many people think that your strength has not yet reached the level of the best active player in the NBA. Do you have anything to say to them after today's game?" a reporter asked provocatively.

"Oh, they're right, so I'd love to hear who they think is more suitable for this evaluation than me... I'm not threatening, I'm just curious, really."

Mo Wen didn't care about the title of "the best in the world", but he would be very interested if this title fell on someone else.

"How far do you think you are from being the number one person in history?" a reporter asked maliciously.

Mo Wen did not answer with words but stretched out a hand, then another.

Purple Sweet Potato has 6 Infinity Stones, and Danzi also has 6 champions. Mo Wen feels that he still has some aspirations as a hanging wall.

Excluding the first three championships with a strong sense of group cooperation, Mo Wen thinks it would be a reasonable request for him to strive for another 7 championships, right?
……

The Supersonics game is over, but many players are still fighting on the court.

The game between the Lakers and the Suns has entered the third quarter and the two sides are fighting fiercely. Kobe, who is in good form, has scored 27 points tonight. If he can maintain his form, scoring 40 points is not a distant goal.

Nash's performance against Kawhi Leonard was also very exciting. He didn't score many points, but his assists have reached 14. If he maintains the current pace, his assists will most likely reach 20.

It was very uncomfortable for Kobe to be sandwiched in the middle. He had little ball possession to distribute and had to watch Nash connect the team as he pleased.

It's really hard to be a supporting role.

Facing the Suns' layers of defense, Kobe turned around twice, got to the baseline, and made a smooth fadeaway shot to even the score difference between the two teams.

In the next round, Nash found Stoudemire, who was leading the way, in a quick counterattack, and used a precise pass to allow Stoudemire to successfully break through the Lakers' defense.

Kobe and Nash looked at each other. There was no mutual appreciation between them. The competition on the court was a life-and-death battle.

Inside the Staples Center, fans were trying hard to cheer for their home team while staring at the big screen on the court, unwilling to miss any details.

But at this tense time when every point mattered, the big screen on the court suddenly cut from the game footage to a photo and a column of data.

Many fans subconsciously want to start cursing.

In the game between the Lakers and the Suns, what data of the Supersonics players did you put?

And after seeing the content clearly, even more people started cursing.

[Congratulations to Sonics player Mo Wen for scoring 88 points in today's game! ]

What the hell, it’s ok to get the game information wrong, but can the data be wrong too?

If the relevant staff is not capable, find a factory!

He scored 88 points in a single game. Is he preparing to compete for the top ten jokes of the year in the NBA?
"I told you, no one believed me."

Backstage, after switching the screen back to the game, the director spread his hands helplessly to the people around him.

If it wasn't for the task assigned to him by the league officials and the TV station, he wouldn't have dared to believe that such a thing was true even if he had searched for it himself.

In January 07, the first generation iPhone was officially released. Before that, using mobile phones to access the Internet was already a relatively mature thing, and many people checked information for fun.

What catches your eye is a bunch of "fake news", but then look at the media that released the news - ABC, NBC, ESPN, FOX...

Why is it that the game on the field suddenly isn't so exciting anymore?

It’s as if a bunch of safe, non-toxic, free and unadvertised websites suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room.

Your big white legs smell good, but on the other side of the sea, they are just a prop.

The discussion spread quickly in the audience seats - Director, we forgive you, please show us Mo Wen's game video!

The coaches of both teams soon learned the news. The Zen Master did not intend to share this shocking news with Kobe now, but D'Antoni, who was sitting opposite him, came up with an idea.

During a timeout, he shared the news with Bell and Marion who were responsible for defending Kobe. Kobe's performance tonight was too reasonable. This was not okay. "From your appearance, didn't the Zen Master tell you the news just now?" Lagabell raised his eyebrows and tried to chat with Kobe.

But Kobe, who was focused on the game, ignored him. As long as he was in the game state, nothing could disturb him.

"The competition for who is the best passer in the league is not over yet, but the competition for who is the best scorer has just been won."

Bell continued to speak, but Kobe's nostrils and mouth were still only used for breathing.

"I really can't believe that Mo Wen scored 88 points in the game just now. This is crazy, right Kobe?"

Kobe's two nostrils... He couldn't help but speak, "You can't talk trash anymore, so you start making up stories?"

"If you don't believe me, you can bet me 10 US dollars." Seeing that the black carp took the bait, Bell began to pull the line.

As a defender, after hearing the news, Bale's first reaction was impossibility, but then he believed the news with certainty.

Because last time Mo Wen scored 32 points under his defense!
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Kobe did not respond. He still wanted to concentrate on the game, but for some reason, his teammates suddenly disappeared from the court.

"Shit, what the hell are you doing? Four people are surrounding you, and there's no one next to O'Dangdang, why don't you pass the ball!"

Paul clenched his fists angrily. If he hadn't seen the familiar big elbow, he would have slapped the bastard in the face.

The Zen Master looked at Kobe with a familiar expression and glanced at D'Antoni opposite him, who was also looking at him proudly.

Damn 88 points, damn D'Antoni!
In the end, the game ended, Kobe scored 47 points, and the Lakers lost the game.

After the game, a heated argument broke out in the Lakers' locker room. Reporters could only faintly hear two people shouting "I can" and "You can't"

……

At four o'clock in the morning, when the sun was still below the Atlantic Ocean, the lights were on in a villa in Cleveland.

James originally wanted to go to the stadium to vent his inner depression, but Cleveland in the middle of winter was not friendly to carbon-based organisms, and the temperature outside was only -18℃.

Thanks to the league staff's rush of work, the 88-point high-definition video was uploaded and pinned to the NBA official website shortly after the game.

This was the second time he had watched it, but every time he couldn't help but cut away to watch the Bernie Mac Show after watching it for 5 minutes.

The exciting game in the eyes of the fans was like a mountain to him.

He did not despair even though he was defeated by Mo Wen time and time again, because victory over his opponent could not cover up his personal success. Mo Wen is a foreigner after all, and as long as he can win the championship, American fans will still choose to love him.

But although Mo Wen scored these 88 points on the court, the value of this data has already gone beyond basketball.

Just like Jordan to the NBA.

Unless James can continue Jordan's great achievements and win championships for many consecutive years, Mo Wen will always be above him.

Because of these 88 points, the first person people think of when mentioning the NBA will always be Mo Wen. Unless Mo Wen retires early, he can't think of any possibility of him surpassing Mo Wen in influence.

There are many definitions of success, but when someone has become synonymous with success, no matter how others define it, it will always be second to none.

The tattoo of "The Chosen One" on his back felt slightly hot and itchy. He was not Marbury. He could not be beaten up by various heroes and still insist that he was the best point guard in the league.

……

Many people can’t sleep tonight, especially those on the Nuggets team.

Camby joked that Posey would definitely dream about Mo Wen tonight.

Percy: It's so funny. I can't sleep at all.

The first thing Anthony did after flying back to Denver was to see his private doctor to get some medicine.

"I can only give you five sleeping pills at a time. Theoretically, one tablet of this powerful drug is enough to help you fall asleep, but... considering that you need to have a good rest, you can choose to take two tablets at a time. If it doesn't work, come back to me."

The doctor poured a few starch beans from a beautifully packaged medicine bottle and placed them in a small sealed bag and handed it to Melon.

"No, no, no, doctor, I'm not here to get sleeping pills. Don't give me these poisons. If I want to sleep, I can drink. I just want to ask if there is any medicine that can make people sober. I feel like I'm trapped in a dream and can't get out."

Melo is like Neo in The Matrix, looking around and trying to find something out of place in this virtual world, and then returning to the real world, even if he is cleaned up.

"Look at it calmly, Melo. It's just one game. No matter what happens, it won't stop you from making tens of millions next season and becoming a wealthy man that everyone envies. I suggest you see a psychologist. If you can't get over it, then I suggest you apply for a trade to the East. You have to play against them at least four times a season in Denver."

"4 games... yeah, it's 4 games... wait, I'm just your client, you're crossing the line." Melon's face fell, and he suddenly had the urge to grab the doctor's medicine box and drink the whole bottle.

……

When the focus shifted to China again, 88 had become a hot topic on the streets.

The Central Bank took the lead in organizing the reporters present at the time to jointly produce a documentary to promote Mo Wen’s “88 Spirit”.

Although Mo Wen didn't know what spirit he had besides ability to get the 88 points.

On the contrary, a trend of 88% off has emerged in the country.

Actually, it was Mo Wen's father who started it. To celebrate his son getting 88 points, he simply waved his hand and offered 88% off on all items in his own chain supermarket.

Many old men and women who don’t care about sports also know that Mo Wen scored 88 points in the exam abroad.

Correspondingly, there was another wave of endorsement invitations from both Mo Wen’s cousin and Heuman.

Those businesses are also very sensible and do not charge endorsement fees below eight figures.

Xiuman and Mo Chuang talked to each other, and they both joked that if Mo Wen accepted all endorsements from China, the United States, Japan and South Korea without considering endorsements for competing products, it would be entirely possible for Mo Wen to become the richest man in China through endorsements.

It’s just 07 and the statistics for 06 haven’t come out yet. When Boss Huang reached the top in 05, his net worth was only 140 billion.

Of course, this is definitely not the way to calculate it. Just like the endorsements of nearly a dozen mobile phone brands, Mo Wen can only choose one. Considering the brand tone, Mo Wen may not necessarily sign the one with the highest offer.

But there is also good news. The 2 million renewal contract that Heumann negotiated with Nike some time ago has been finalized, but the profit share of the WINNER series of sneakers separated as a sub-brand still needs to be further negotiated.

The auspicious number 88 began to spread around the world as if by magic, driven by various parties.

For Mo Wen, the days were no different.

It's just that I squeezed in a few more interviews into my nearly saturated schedule, there were more fans holding up 88-point signs on the sidelines, there were tens of millions more taxes to be paid on next year's tax bill, and the girl at home became a little gentler...

Old Hill thought Mo Wen must be very tired after yesterday's game and wanted to give Mo Wen a day off, but Mo Wen refused.

In his current state, he will be even busier during the holidays. His cousin is still asking him to go back to receive some youth award, and the governor is also thinking of asking him to go to the election stage as it is an election year. If he plays with the team normally, he still has an excuse to make, but if he takes a vacation, he may not travel across the United States with the team, but fly across the ocean.

But no matter how much Mo Wen emphasized that this was just a regular season, the competition environment that Mo Wen faced had changed.

In the game against the Clippers the next day, two people followed Mo Wen throughout the game, regardless of whether he had the ball or not.

Mo Wen really wanted to say that he was only second in the NBA single-game scoring list, but he was first in the single-game assists list.

Coach Dunleavy: Don't lie to me. Chamberlain has been gone for 7 years. You are the best among those alive now! Team player? Is there any team player who can score 80 points in a single game?
On the average scoring list, Mo Wen raised his average scoring by nearly 88 points because of his 2 points in this game, making him the only one in the league again. No matter how you look at it, Mo Wen does not have the temperament of an assist king.

But even so, Mo Wen still made 26 of 16 shots, 10 of 5 three-pointers, and 9 of 8 free throws, scoring 45 points.

Not only did Mo Wen continue his touch from the previous game, but his teammates on the Supersonics also habitually passed the ball into Mo Wen's arms.

There is a player in the team who scored 88 points with super high efficiency. When he is not sure of the goal, he will be more confident to pass it to Mo Wen.

Mo Wen was also helpless. He had worked so hard to cultivate the autonomy of his teammates, but why did they regress again?

What happened? My average stats went back to normal, and my teammates also went back to normal?
Livingston, who was often beaten, seriously corrected the reporters' calling him "Little Mo Wen" after the game.

Everyone used to think that Mo Wen was a type of template, but others grew according to their own templates, but for him, the template also had growth attributes, and grew faster than him as a learner.

He would rather be on the crowded track of Jordan's successor than be some "Little Mo Wen".

At least he can still touch Danzi's highest assists in a single game.

　It's a bit late, I'll make up another chapter tonight, in the middle of the night
