basketball never sleeps

Chapter 273 Dream Brush
"I'm afraid your compatriots will miss the appointment tonight. There's only one quarter left. Getting 30 points is okay, but it's still too difficult to get 50 points." In a mansion in San Francisco, the bearded man gloated and joked with the big man next to him.

"But he made the right choice. If he continues to play like this, the SuperSonics will most likely win the game."

"No, isn't there still one quarter left?" Dayao shook his head. He had always had confidence in Mo Wen, and when he saw that Mo Wen was still as calm and casual as ever, he felt even more relieved.

"Are you sure? This is the fourth quarter. I admit that he has a strong scoring ability. If it was the first two quarters, I would definitely believe you if you said he could score 30 points in a single quarter. But this is the fourth quarter, and he is now nearly 30 points behind, not 13 points!"

"I don't really understand how guards score." Dayao scratched his head, and his "ex" who had been having a bad time recently popped up in his mind. Mo Wen could be considered his ex. "But I understand Mo Wen very well. As long as he's on the basketball court, you can always trust him."

Baron Davis opened his mouth, shook his head and said nothing more. He used to believe those passionate stories in movies, like those cartoons, where the protagonist was beaten for 20 minutes, and in the end, he shouted about friendship and bond, and then suddenly exploded without any logic, winning the battle with a set of unexplained combos.

But in reality, when you get excited, you usually just splash blood all over other people.

There are many people who share the same idea as Baron Davis.

88 points in a single game is indeed a miracle, but if you put aside the filter and study it carefully, you will find that Mo Wen's ability to play more and more aggressively in the later games was based on the premise that the Nuggets had no defense, and the Mavericks have proved their defense this year.

Since ancient times, there have been fans and haters. While Mo Wen attracted huge popularity with his wonderful performance, he also attracted enough hatred. It might be because of jealousy, or because Mo Wen is not an American, or because Mo Wen's image is too perfect, or because Mo Wen endorsed their products, which made Mo Wen have many loyal black fans in this land.

Seeing that Mo Wen was about to fail to fulfill his pre-match boast, this group of black fans, who were in large numbers, were popping champagne like crazy on major forums, posting Mo Wen's interview photos everywhere, and vowed to turn this incident into Mo Wen's pillar of shame.

"He's just a big talker. He's just a lucky guy."

"2 points in two games? This could be a contender for the best joke of the year."

"Cuban: Even if I serve you food, you can't pay for it!"

……

At this moment, Cuban stood next to the young general and suggested:

"I think that kid will definitely go crazy in a while. If we can keep him down, we can not only embarrass him in front of the fans, but also turn the tables!"

The young general did not reject Cuban's "bad idea" this time. Although he had never been a star, he also knew that a star's face cannot be lost.

As the best active player, Mo Wen certainly doesn't want to be accused of breaking his promise, and old Hill obviously can't suppress Mo Wen, so the direction of the Supersonics is very clear.

The Mavericks are actually not weaker than the Supersonics. They were suppressed today because they had to guard Mo Wen in the space where the Supersonics shooters could play normally.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you focus on one, you will lose the other.

Now, it is Mo Wen's turn to be the one who has to focus on one thing and lose the other. In the end, should he win the data or the game, or let the Mavericks win both the data and the game.

The young general believed that Mo Wen would not ignore his teammates like Kobe did when he got carried away, but he also believed that Mo Wen would definitely be like Kobe in the last quarter.

Guard against Mo Wen and turn the game around, there will be something interesting going on!

……

"Do we need to adjust the lineup?" Old Hill asked with some concern.

"No, keep playing normally, but we have to increase the intensity on the defensive end. How about full-court press?" Mo Wen knew exactly what the opponent was thinking, so he didn't plan to use brute force to split the mountain and keep scoring points while being double-teamed.

Logically speaking, even O'Neal's production would drop significantly when facing double-teaming by two big players.

Don't think that Josh Howard's defense against him is not very effective, that's because Mo Wen has enough experience, just like a high school student can solve any difficult linear equation in seconds.

But it’s different for a linear equation with two variables. No matter how fast you solve it, you still have to fill in two numbers.

Instead of forcing yourself to burn brain cells to challenge a difficult test paper, it is better to beat up the person who set the test paper and change to a simpler test paper.

In the final quarter, the intense atmosphere of the game was mixed with a hint of weirdness.

After the analysis by the young general and Cuban, the Mavericks players even forgot that they were still at a disadvantage, and instead indulged in a fantasy of winning big.

As for the Supersonics, although they were in the lead, they became serious because of Mo Wen's request.

"Mo, I already have 25 points." Before the game resumed, Nowitzki playfully walked up to Mo Wen and patted him on the butt.

"Oh, I also have 23 points. I don't know if I can get 30 points tonight." Terry said sarcastically.

Ray Allen couldn't bear to watch it and wanted to say something, but Mo Wen patted him on the shoulder and stopped him.

Don't be impatient, let their trash talk fly for a while.

On the first ball back, Mo Wen directed Gay and Tyson to help him do a double screen on one side. On the other side, Ray Allen and Milicic did an off-ball pick-and-roll. Mo Wen also took advantage of the double pick-and-roll and rushed to the basket without hesitation.

What was he saying? Mo Wen couldn't help but start scoring like crazy.

The young general clenched his fists excitedly. The Mavericks players sighed in their hearts that their coach was so foresighted. They moved closer to the inside, vowing to trap Mo Wen in the penalty area.

As an experienced five-sport player, Mo Wen did not feel panicked. He followed the gaps when there were gaps, and used his elbows to clear the way when there were no gaps. Although it was difficult, Mo Wen still squeezed into the basket.

The Mavericks who came back to defend did not intend to give Mo Wen space to jump and shoot.

Arms and pairs of hands, like tall trees with lush branches and leaves, blocked out all the light.

Mo Wen frowned slightly, not because he couldn't see the basket, but because of the posture of these big guys...

"Oh no, the Mavericks are going crazy. Don't let them get surrounded under the basket." The commentator on the sidelines shouted.

Just as he finished speaking, the young general couldn't help but celebrate for this successful defense.

The camera turned and Ray Allen was performing the jump shot that made Mavericks fans hate him so much on the sidelines.

Swah——

79:93, the difference between the two teams reached 14 points.

"Sure enough, Mo Wen is Mo Wen. Even when he was surrounded so tightly, he still found a chance to pass the ball!"

Sonics fans breathed a sigh of relief.

The young general shouted at the side, "Don't defend too much, just follow the arrangement."

After just a little reflection, the young general realized that this ball was indeed a problem for the Mavericks players.

This is definitely not the right method for targeted defense. Too much is as bad as too little. If five people rush over to surround him, they will force Mo Wen to pass the ball.

Danpi served the ball steadily as usual. When Terry received the ball and was still thinking about how to play when he couldn't figure out the tactics, Mo Wen came over with his arms waving.

Terry reacted quickly. He turned his back, lowered the height of his dribble, observed the position of his teammates, and tried to clear the ball.

But Mo Wen's attack was not independent. The other players of the Supersonics also got into position at this moment. Although they had not yet crossed the half court, they played as if they were under the basket.

Snapped!
After holding on for 2 seconds, Terry still hadn't found anyone to take the ball, and the helpful Mo Wen helped him solve his problem by dribbling the basketball away.

Terry staggered to his feet and tried to grab Mo Wen, but his rough big hands only caught a breeze.

I still remember yesterday, that summer, when the breeze blew, it seemed to blow everything away...

After being dunked, Dampier didn't know why he fell, but what he knew was that he could be on the highlights again.

Gan!
79: 95.

The 16-point difference made the young general feel nervous. He felt like he had overlooked something.

The Mavericks served the ball again. Terry was much more cautious and Harris also came back from the frontcourt to provide support.

After Ray Allen understood Mo Wen's idea, he defended very hard. Harris was very fast, but he still needed to dribble. His rhythm was interrupted so suddenly that he was forced to stand still holding the ball in order to avoid losing it.

Seeing that Terry was still being watched closely, he thought about passing the ball back to Dampier for transit.

However, the two big guys of the team set an example and Tyson also defended very hard.

Danpi's already poor ball-handling skills allowed him to only stop the ball under Tyson's pressure.

When Terry got rid of Mo Wen's entanglement and took the ball to move forward again, the referee on the sidelines blew the whistle.

Offensive 8-second violation, the ball is exchanged between the two teams.

The young general held his head on the sidelines. We all know that sideline balls are a "world problem", so when did serving normally become a problem?

Fortunately, there is no goalkeeper in basketball, otherwise the Sonics' basket would be piled with melon seed shells.

The confused Mavericks players could only retreat from the frontcourt. Terry looked at Mo Wen who picked up the ball again and wanted to scold him, but Mo Wen, who was dribbling behind his back and just walked out of the logo area the previous second, suddenly grabbed the ball with one hand and jumped high the next second.

It was as abrupt as a WeChat call suddenly ringing while you were struggling in the Canyon of Kings.

Terry was a little slow to react and could only watch Mo Wen's shot from a close distance.

Swah——

"God, a 25-foot pull-up jump shot without any preparation, a hollow shot into the net, is this really something a human can do? Terry in front of him couldn't even react, he is simply a bug on the court! Come on Mo, stop pretending, tell me which model you are, T1200?"

On the court, Nowitzki looked at the scoreboard in confusion.

79:98
He remembered that the score difference between the two sides was just over double digits before the start of the fourth quarter. How come the score difference was already heading towards 20 before he even had the ball?

The Mavericks only had one regular timeout left, but the young general gritted his teeth and decided to use it.

What the hell was going on during this period? He and Cuban were still thinking about turning the tables and suppressing Mo Wen, but why did smoke appear in their own base first?

After a gust of blowing from the little general's electric fan, the Mavericks players also realized the seriousness of the situation.

After returning to the stage, they put on the Luohan mask again.

It’s just that the supersonic momentum has already been demonstrated in the last few rounds.

The sense of accomplishment of continuously defending the Mavericks from getting past half court also gave the Supersonics full motivation.

The Mavericks did not push for fast breaks, choosing instead to settle down and play positionally, which actually gave the Sonics players fewer defensive concerns.

Under the defense of the Supersonics, the Mavericks passed the ball for 20 seconds, and finally Nowitzki missed the shot. In the transition from offense to defense, the Mavericks followed suit and also pressed Mo Wen.

But the young general miscalculated again. No one in the NBA now knows how to break a tight defense better than Mo Wen.

Whether it is the Schwarzenegger sisters, Katherine who insists on fitness, or Lucy, the yoga master, they are all first-class...呸呸, whether it is the bloody Pistons, the iron-blooded Knicks, the tough Bulls, or the muddy Celtics, they are all first-class good teachers.

Terry was still thinking about doing some small moves when he approached Mo Wen, but he never expected that Mo Wen had already taken preventive action before he could do so.

A flash of cold light came first, followed by a giant dragon's impact.

The referee glanced at Terry who was lying on the ground, and just held the whistle with no intention of blowing it.

Two people defending one and still faking a fall?

Bah, vile!

Terry's defense was broken, but Nowitzki made up for it in time.

Speaking of which, Nowitzki wanted to defend Mo Wen the most. The Mavericks were getting further and further away from victory. If Mo Wen scored high points again, the suspense of the MVP would be nailed to the coffin.

However, Mo Wen had no intention of using force to attack.

Second Battalion Commander, where is my Serbian cannon?
fire!
Harris's defense was timely, but Milicic, who is 216cm tall, and Devin Harris, who is 191cm tall, couldn't even stand in the same frame when taking a close-up photo.

Swish+1
Mavericks 79:101 Supersonics.

Looking at the score difference that was enough to trigger garbage time, the young general finally came to his senses.

He just wanted to embarrass Mo Wen, but Mo Wen wanted to kill him!

How could this boy be so vicious?!
He seemed to have returned to last summer. Defending Mo Wen alone would allow him to score extremely high personal points, while double-teaming Mo Wen would inevitably lead to losing the game.

The current situation cannot be said to be exactly the same, but it is exactly the same. The only difference is that it has changed from losing the game to losing by a large margin.

The young general weighed the pros and cons in his mind, but the game on the field never stopped.

Terry's cut was blocked by Mo Wen's sliding step, so he passed the ball to Josh Howard. However, his long-arm shooting, which was always successful, met his opponent today and was interfered by Gay, who was also equipped with long arms, and he missed all three shots.

With a height of 203cm and a wingspan of 221cm, he can reach 375cm with a running start. With Guy's talent, if he were to be the protagonist of a novel, readers would complain that he lacked a sense of immersion.

In the Supersonics' round, facing Mo Wen's charge, the Mavericks players who did not receive new instructions chose to continue double-teaming.

But they didn't dare to leave Ray Allen and Gay in the corner open.

After Mo Wen and Milicic set a pick-and-roll, Nowitzki gritted his teeth and switched defense again.

However, Chouhuo did not take on the responsibility of defending Milicic, and outsourced it to Dampier and continued to double-team Mo Wen.

Dampier had no choice but to give up the fight with Tyson and move one step away.

Mo Wen caught this information and directly pulled the ball back and made a fadeaway jump shot.

The ball has a high arc and its direction is somewhat random.

But it doesn’t matter, because, buddy, I have someone in there!

boom!
The fans of the Supersonics continued to roar, "You guys want to compete with us for the first place?"

79:103
"I can still win if I don't score 50 points, but if you don't score 50 points, you lose tonight, Mr. 25 Points."

Mo Wen smiled and patted Nowitzki.

I have to say that this small NBA stadium has its advantages.

Nowitzki, who was still confident just now, looked at the scoreboard in confusion. The score difference was 24 points. Don’t mention that Mo Wen is quite good at math.

The taste of the chicken soup and strong medicine that the young general fed them during the break had not yet dissipated in their mouths, but they were about to die.

What went wrong?
In the next round, the Mavericks finally got a taste of scoring thanks to Harris' free throws, but they only made 2 of 1 and only recovered 1 point.

Turning around, Gay, who was left open, scored easily by cutting in and catching the ball, and the gap between the two teams continued to widen.

And only 3 minutes had passed.

"Defend normally and don't give Mo any more chances!" the young general shouted on the sidelines.

"What are you doing? Why don't you double-team Mo?" Cuban asked with some dissatisfaction.

"We've already lost by 25 points, and you're still double-teaming Mo. Do you want to lose by 50 points?" The young general pointed at the scoreboard and asked Cuban in frustration.

If you hadn't come up with that bad idea, would I have done something stupid like double-teaming Mo Wen?
As expected, what I hate most is the boss interfering in the team!
The Mavericks generals breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the order. Mo Wen did not play according to the rules and really caught them off guard.

If Mo Wen fails to get 50 points, he will certainly be laughed at, but if they can only score 40 points in this top battle, they will definitely be more embarrassed than Mo Wen.

Seeing that the linear equation with two variables turned back into a linear equation with one variable, Mo Wen finally showed his fangs.

Before Josh Howard, who had returned to the "single" state, had time to get scared, Mo Wen pressed down with his left hand, dribbled the ball in a shock motion, accelerated the movement, lowered his body and squeezed past the ugly Howard.

Normal defense does not mean no assisting defense, Dampier still came up to make up for it.

However, this time, Mo Wen, who had increased his speed, did not choose to pass the ball to Tyson who was in an open position, but grabbed the ball and flew into the air.

Dampier, who was just dunked over by Mo Wen, originally wanted to show his toughness and give this bastard a hard hit, but the shape of Mo Wen's legs reminded him of a movie clip of Jack Cheng.

So he withdrew his chest and controlled his body to forcefully move to the side.

boom!
The strong wind that blew past Mo Wen brought a hint of chill, making him feel a little dizzy.

Alive...alive!
Fuck, I looked so handsome just now!

But what awaited him was not the cheers of completing a perfect dodge, but the roar of the head coach.

"What the hell are you hiding for, idiot?"

Dampier's expression froze, but immediately returned to normal. Go to hell. If I don't hide, who will spend my tens of millions of annual salary?

With this goal, Mo Wen’s score reached 30 points.

There are only 8 minutes left, 20 points to go. Time is tight and the task is heavy!
Mo Wen decisively chose to speed up, and on the defensive end he decisively changed from a persistent attack to a gambling-style defense.

Terry found an opportunity to re-enter the inside and scored two points. Before he had time to be happy, Mo Wen made another three-pointer... 33 points.

Nowitzki made a mid-range jump shot after facing the basket, and Mo Wen made an unexpected mid-range shot after a pick-and-roll... 35 points.

When the young general saw that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction again and shouted to target Mo Wen again, Mo Wen stopped pretending and directly took out his best skill "Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar Style 38" - a big swing of his arms, and again made three free throws... points.

Cuban was very anxious, jumping up and down on the sidelines, shouting and cursing.

But before he could finish his curse, the fans on the sidelines also started scolding him.

The referee cannot punish the boss, but the front-row fans, who are also capitalists, will not tolerate him.

……

Six minutes into the fourth quarter, the Mavericks finally made it to the official advertising timeout. With a 6-point lead, the young general used his trump card -

Five up and five down.

Treat your enemies as coldly and mercilessly as a harsh winter?
Okay, then I'll surrender right away!

According to the "Geneva Convention" in the coaching world, they all voted. As the core of the Supersonics, Mo Wen naturally could not continue to stay on the court.

The young general had a good idea, and the Supersonics made substitutions, but Mo Wen still remained on the court.

"Mo, don't you think you are shameless? You are just cheating on the points! What kind of superstar are you? You are just a shameless brush!" On the sidelines, Cuban stomped his feet in frustration and anger, and couldn't help but give Mo Wen the middle finger.

Even if he was dead and nailed in the coffin, he would still shout in the grave with his rotten vocal cords - Dog brush!

Mo Wen passed the ball to Atkins who came on as a substitute and stopped.

Everyone around thought Mo Wen would say something, but Mo Wen did not speak. He just stood at the edge of the court with a sly smile on his face and his hands spread out.

Jump out and jump in again.

Jump out and jump in again.

What can you do to me, idiot?
Cuban wanted to say something, but his eyes went dark and he could no longer stand.

The referee who was watching from the sidelines saw Cuban was about to faint, so he held back his laughter and gave Mo Wen a warning.

After all, you are the boss of the NBA, so don’t make him angry.

The Mavericks' substitutes wanted to avenge their boss, but Mo Wen had already developed his touch and would throw the ball whenever he found an opening.

The difference between the two teams once reached 40+ with Mo Wen's scoring.

Mo Wen wanted to beat the Mavericks by 50 points and complete the task ahead of schedule with a 50+50 game.

But when he saw the Mavericks players’ red eyes that seemed to be about to awaken their Sharingan, he gave up this bold idea.

After all, he still makes a living in America... Mainly because the insurance of the amulet is not covered, he is committing suicide.

"The classic Mo double screen, three-pointer, bingo! 50 points, Mo fulfilled his promise, he scored 50 points and won the game! It's a pity that Mr. Cuban has left the court. I'm really curious about his expression now."

With 2 minutes left in the game, the Mavericks finally got relief.

The Mavericks led the Supersonics 108:137.

The Supersonics were very considerate and allowed the Mavericks to close the gap to within 30 points.

In addition to the scores, many fans holding cameras took pictures of the data recorded on the screen above.

本场比赛莫闻拿下50分14助攻7篮板5抢断2盖帽3失误1老板，再次创造了NBA的历史！
After the game, an ESPN reporter stopped Mo Wen and asked him about Cuban's remarks that he was a brush.

"He's right. My ideal is to be a brush, to paint rings on every finger, to paint championship banners above the arena, to put my name at the top of every record, and to leave a shadow in every child's dream. That's all."

　I've been feeling a bit numb lately and can't write anything, plus I had a cold, so I went to see a Chinese doctor. The doctor said that my body is a big customer and that it's normal to feel numb in the brain... It's good, at least there's still hope. I feel like my brain does work better after taking the medicine, but I don't know if it's a psychological effect.
