Chapter 27 Bro, I'm Too Stressed, It's Too Difficult

In view of the lesson of missing Dayao last year, Nike gave the largest contract, a total of 2 million for 400 years, which is definitely a "sky-high price" for a player like Mo Wen who just accidentally topped the starting lineup, but these contract invitations were all rejected by Mo Wen Put it aside for now.

It's not that he intends to make a fortune and leave without caring about his image, there's no need to sell himself so cheaply.

Even Nike's seemingly sincere sneaker contract is far below his current value.

His agent, John, didn't understand at first, but after being scolded by his boss Steve Heuman, he understood. Mo Wen, a Chinese player who has the ability to become a backup starter for a strong team, is more of a shoe seller. Extra money is required for outside lines!
····
In the first match, Mo Wen will go with the team to Toronto, 200 kilometers away.

The home of the Raptors has the friendliest fans in the league. The quality of residents in this city is generally high, and the race is complex and diverse.There is no home team atmosphere, which is one of the reasons why it is difficult for the Raptors players to have a sense of belonging.

When Mo Wen came on stage, he received exclamations and applause from many Asian audiences on the sidelines.

He remembered that in his previous life, UC’s marketing number ranked the NBA’s 5 friendliest away games. It’s just that there is no Raptors. The North Shore Garden, the home of the Celtics, is even on the list. After actually going there, he couldn’t tell for a while. Is North Shore Garden more devilish, or that UC editor is more devilish.

"Like Yao, you Asians are really welcome here. Didn't Vince (Carta) suggest to you before that if you can't get along later, come to our team." Before the start of the game, Bosh told Mo Wen made a joke when he said hello.

"I can't go on, my buddy can do better than you now."

Mo Wen just got a little heartbroken and put out the idea of ​​the Raptors.

Although there are many Chinese in Toronto, the city is very livable, and Bosh is familiar with the team, but the geographical limitations are too large, it is destined not to become a popular team in the league, and it is more difficult to win the championship than the ugly country. Most of the teams.

The Raptors won the championship in 19, basically it was God's feeding. Only when the time and people were full, did they barely overcome the geographical disadvantage.

Moreover, the management team of the Raptors is also very capable. Now Carter has been screwed by them and already has the idea of ​​leaving.

At the beginning of the season, the team management (board of directors) replaced his mentor, Coach Wilkens, dismissed the general manager Gould who favored him, and fired Carter, who had a good relationship with Carter. Physician Chuck.

Petty, chairman of the Raptors' board of directors, reassured Carter and promised to trade Nash, and at the same time invited Carter's idol, Dr. J, to be the general manager.

But in fact, Petty did not contact Dr. J several times, and the matter of trading Nash was only a simple inquiry once, and there was no follow-up, and the newly appointed team coach directly did not regard him as a team under the instruction of the management. The core, turned around and spent all his energy on cultivating Bosh.

In addition, the team found an excuse not long ago to remove the parking space belonging to his mother's family members. No matter how dull people are, they can tell what the Raptors' management is paying attention to.

The Raptors, who still maintained a 50% winning rate in the middle of the season, began to decline gradually as Carter became negative.

After the game started, Mo Wen could clearly feel that Carter lost the fighting spirit he had at his peak.

Carter, whose body has not declined seriously, has maintained a sharp style of play on the offensive end, but has almost lost his previous focus on the defensive end.

Although Carter's defense is not very strong, at least he has a correct attitude. He can be ranked second among the four shooting guards, but today when he faced Hamilton, he was obviously slow in chasing and defending.

The coach of the Raptors who hit the back noticed a problem, so he didn't let Carter defend Hamilton, but instead defended Mo Wen, a rookie who had never had a sense of existence.

As a result, Mo Wen played again.

Carter's impression of Mo Wen was still that rookie with average body but skilled ball skills in the summer training camp, but after a few months of familiarity, Mo Wen's strength has not only improved by two steps.

After he let down his vigilance, he was easily "surprised" several times by Mo Wen.

Even the defensive experts of the Pistons team were not sure about Mo Wen's fake moves, let alone Carter, who was not focused enough.

"Your strength has improved a lot. If it wasn't for your skin, I would have thought it was a different person."

Carter, who was hit by Mo Wen a few times, was not only not angry, but also communicated with Mo Wen cheerfully.

"Hey, I'm far behind you. I heard that you've been married for a while. I haven't had time to congratulate you. How about going for a drink after the game?"

Mo Wen didn't criticize Carter's professional attitude. He didn't feel the pain of others. Don't persuade others to be kind. It was not his responsibility alone that Carter wanted to leave the Raptors.

"Forget it, I'll accept it. Toronto is too cold this season. It's better for you to go home as soon as possible." Carter shook his head and refused.

He knew that Mo Wen had a good relationship with Bosh, and Bosh would definitely be one of the people he would invite later, but he felt a bit complicated about this young man who was praised by the team. Talk about hanging out together.

When the team rested, Larry Brown broke his promise. He did not limit Mo Wen's playing time, but repeatedly emphasized in front of Mo Wen not to shoot three-pointers in places other than the bottom corner.

Mo Wen's defensive effect in the first two quarters was not bad, but only two three-pointers made Larry Brown very unhappy.

The one defending you was Carter, one of the top four shooting guards in today's league, against Iverson in the Eastern Conference Finals three years ago. How dare you shoot a three-pointer on him. Breakthrough is what you should do!

Mo Wen really wanted to tell him that given the physical gap between him and Carter, even if he moved away from Carter, there was a risk of being caught up. Why didn't he shoot a three-pointer when Carter let him go more than one step away.

Carter's defense is not serious, but it hasn't reached the point where it will be obvious next year. If he breaks into the inside, there is a risk of Bosh running over to help defend.

Mo Wen just watched, Bosh that dog didn't do anything else in this game, just kept holding back his bad intentions and wanted to overshadow him, a few times he was not able to score the ball quickly, but this dog succeeded .

"Detroit is really full of villains. Your elbows are more than twice as heavy in summer." Bosh rubbed his ribs that were hurt by his elbows and gritted his teeth.

"You're not bad either. It's only been a while. You, a thick-eyed guy, have learned to make fouls. You're getting more and more pussy!"

Mo Wen shook his hand with a look of displeasure.

He was fouled by a star player like Carter, and he recognized it. After all, it is normal for a superstar to have a whistle. What he didn't expect was that Bosh also played with him today.

Less than 9 free throws in three quarters, Bosh made more free throws than Carter today.

"You still have the nerve to say me, just now Carter didn't touch you, you fell down, not to mention that you are doing a good job as a cleaner!" Bosh cast a disgusted look at Mo Wen and mocked.

"Oh, then I have to mention someone who was dunked behind by Rashid today. That ball should be selected as today's top ten balls. If you want to be famous, you have to be you." Mo Wen was unwilling Said weakly.

Bosh: "You bastard! (You bastard)"

Mo Wen: "I am your father!"

Off the court, Milicic looked at Mo Wen and Bosh exchanging passion on the court, his eyes were full of longing, this is the basketball between men in his dream.

The game was decided in the third quarter, and because of the starter mentioned by Mo Wen, the Pistons' offense became much smoother.

Mo Wen's shooting ability and ball delivery ability are better than Prince's. The tactics are still the same as before. After changing to a mature executor, the Pistons' offense has obviously improved a lot.

In the final analysis, Prince is just a talented second-year player. It is already very good to be able to practice defense. It is simply unrealistic to expect him to perform well on the offensive end.

When there are 5 experienced players on the field, there is no need for any complicated tactics, and the individual ability of the players alone can also play the fluency of Princeton's complex tactical system-of course, if the players of the first team have no basket, then in another team Say.

"If the 3rd position is not strong, it is actually not bad to put Mo on it." Woodson said with emotion after the game.

After thinking for a while, Larry Brown still shook his head.

"This kid is still too young, let's observe."

Larry Brown didn't use rookies at all. When he was in the 76ers, Tim Thomas was appointed as the starter in his rookie period. Later, Larry Huss, who was selected, also averaged 20 points per game in his rookie period. minutes of playing time.But these two rookies are standard "black and hard" players.

For a player like Mo Wen who plays with skill but has an average body, Larry Brown is not optimistic about his performance in the playoffs.

莫闻这场比赛出场34分钟，10投6中，三分2中1，罚球3中3，一共得到16分5篮板4助攻2抢断的数据，总的来说他对自己的首秀还算满意。

After the game, Mo Wen did not go back with the team, but took Milicic and stayed in Toronto to fight with Bosh...or a small gathering.

This is not the behavior of Mo Wen alone. Many players have asked for leave to stay in Toronto.

Because "M·J" from the Ugly Music Festival will hold a concert here tomorrow.

M.J's tour in Detroit will be scheduled until next month. At that time, the Pistons will play an away game. Unless they take a rocket to and fro, it is impossible to catch up. Those who have checked the calendar have bought tickets in advance and even asked for leave in advance. .

No one can stop a black man from going to a MJ concert, just like no one can stop a white man from going to a Monroe show.

"Where are the tickets?"

"F**K, you're an adult, why don't you buy it yourself?" Bosh cursed and took out two golden shiny tickets and handed them to Mo Wen.

"My annual salary is only 40, and you have a full 400 million. Are you willing to let me spend money when you come to your site?" Mo Wenli said confidently, and then shared one of the tickets he got with Milici. strange.

"I, I can pay." Milicic said a little embarrassedly after taking the ticket.

"No, no, no! Duck, you should never tell a black rich man to pay, if you want to make friends with them." Mo Wen hurriedly stopped Milicic from taking out his wallet before Bosh scolded him. action.

"CB (Chris Bosh) and I are brothers, and you are also my brother, so all our consumption in Toronto should be paid by this rich man!" Mo Wen said while patting Bosh on the shoulder.

"That's the truth, but why didn't I find you so shameless before?"

"Because you were poor before, I invited you!" Mo Wen patted his chest and said with a clear conscience.

Although Bosh was born in a relatively well-to-do family, his mother was a programmer and his father was an engineer, but his parents were no longer around, and they strictly limited his pocket money out of fear that he would go out and fool around with other black people.

In college, Mo Wen, who is relatively wealthy, often treats guests.

Bosh's home is not far from the Raptors' home arena, and it's a quick 20-minute drive.

After entering the small villa, Mo Wen asked jokingly if there were any female tenants. Bosh just waved his hand impatiently and asked Mo Wen to choose the room by himself.

Mo Wen was no stranger to this place, he lived there during the summer training camp, but he didn't have a girlfriend, which really surprised Mo Wen.

Bosh changed three players in less than a year in college. Why did he become abstinent after coming to the NBA and making a lot of money?
After listening to the God of Songs concert the next day, at the wine table, Mo Wen finally understood the reason why Bosh always had a frowning face at the concert and didn't even find a female ticket after making money. (Canadians can drink alcohol at the age of 19)

"Ever since I joined the team, I have been favored by the coach alone. There are more than ten people in the team, and the coach favors me alone. So I persuaded the coach to have the rain and dew evenly, but the coach refused to listen. Coach, just If you pet me, just pet me. Even the former Concubine Ka, no, it was Carter, he didn't even look straight at her."

"Bro, I'm stressed out, it's hard."

bang-

Mo Wen and Bosh turned their heads and saw that a goblet of special vodka had been drained by Milicic in one gulp.

　There is another chapter tonight, but I suggest you go to bed early.
