basketball never sleeps

Chapter 274 If no one saves me, I will save myself. (10K)

The game between the Mavericks and the SuperSonics was over, but the stone falling into the lake made more than just a noise.

The game was evenly matched until the third quarter, exciting and reasonable, which was in line with the public's expectations for the match between these two strong teams.

But no one could have expected that once the fourth quarter began, the game would suddenly become magical.

The Supersonics suddenly increased their intensity and the score gap widened. The Mavericks, who still had the strength to fight back, were like being hypnotized by a pervert with a laser pen and let the Supersonics and Mo Wen do whatever they wanted.

Popovich turned off the TV and the whole room fell silent. The dark TV screen reflected several figures of varying shades on the sofa.

The Spurs, who had been running in for several years, had a very stable record. Halfway through the season, when they found that they could not catch up with the Mavericks in net wins, Popovich gave up the sprint for the best regular season record.

According to the division ranking rules, they will most likely rank fourth after the regular season, so whoever ranks first will most likely be their opponent in the second round.

To be honest, they don't want to face any team.

In 05, the Supersonics without Mo Wen fought with them to a Game , and only managed to get through with the help of the killer Bowen. In the finals, Mo Wen directly defeated them and won the FMVP. Although the Supersonics are a reorganized team, their core players are currently doing well in their running-in.

And the good neighbor Mavericks are not an easy opponent either. The young general came from the Spurs and is quite familiar with the Spurs' tactics. As the Mavericks' lineup gradually stabilized and their defense strengthened, the Spurs lost more than they won in the two teams' encounters. Last year, the Spurs were even eliminated in a game seven in the playoffs.

Based on their previous impression, they would rather face the Supersonics. Compared with the increasingly sophisticated Mavericks, the Supersonics must be much more immature on the defensive end.

But today's game had a huge impact on them.

What fans saw might be the Sonics' terrifying attack wave or Mo Wen's powerful personal ability.

But in their eyes, it was their brutal defense that enabled the Supersonics to quickly widen the gap and break the Mavericks' psychological defense.

"Do you have any ideas?" Popovich asked his disciples.

Ginobili patted Duncan's evil hand and said, "Division rankings are like hooks and arrows. Why don't we ask the boss if we move the team to California?"

Popovich: …

Parker shook his head. "It would be better to move to the East in one go."

Popovich: …

Duncan: "I kind of miss the NCAA, why not..."

Popovich: …

It’s no wonder that the disciples have negative thoughts. Even Popovich is thinking about whether he should discuss the players’ injuries with the team doctor. If he can’t be third, then he can be sixth.

But it's just a thought, after all, the sun is not a vegetarian.

Thinking about the tragic environment in the West, Popovich couldn't help rubbing his temples again.

——I’m sorry for being born in the Western Conference.

……

After the game with the Mavericks, Cuban did not admit defeat. After reviewing the game, the Mavericks also realized that they had fallen into Mo Wen's psychological tactical trap.

He wanted to prevent Mo Wen from dying so much that he ended up giving Mo Wen more room to maneuver.

They were too afraid of the score gap widening, which resulted in the collapse of the overall strategy.

Judging from the final result, the two teams seem to be in two different dimensions.

But if you really calm down and analyze it, you will feel that 4396 is getting higher and higher.

"I think we should keep a low profile."

Looking at Cuban who was writing furiously on the social networking site, the young general tried to dissuade him.

"Shut up!" Cuban said impatiently, "Do your job. At the end of the last game... I don't want that to happen again in the next game!"

In Cuban's opinion, the reason why the team collapsed in the last game was that the young general could not withstand the pressure. If he had not led the team to the finals last season, and if it were not the end of the season and it was not appropriate to make a big move, he would definitely shed tears and kill Ma Su.

The young general was also convinced. Even if Mo Wen was not very strong now, he was not much different from Danzi. To be an opponent of such a fierce tiger, not to mention his poor development, he also kept provoking him. If he hadn't been too willful to resign on the battlefield, he would have packed up his bags and run away now.

After winning the last game, Mo Wen turned his attention away from the Mavericks.

He did take shortcuts at the end of the last game, but the Mavericks do have problems with their hard power.

Like the SuperSonics, this version of the Mavericks is also very stable in beating weak teams, but they will fall apart when facing strong teams. The difference is that the SuperSonics can count on Mo Wen to explode and provide a backup, but Nowitzki, like the Mavericks, has a bit of a bully-like nature.

Of course, who isn't? In competitive sports, there are very few players like LGD who can rob the rich and help the poor.

Because the next matchup would not be until half a month later, Mo Wen ignored Cuban's resurgence on social media.

In fact, Mo Wen doesn’t need to take action, the majority of netizens are enough to roast this toughest duck.

On March 3, the China Derby that domestic fans have been looking forward to is here again. Mo Wen and Yi Jianlian are about to face off for the first time in the NBA.

Unlike the tense game of "Demon Wars", the Bucks, who are only ranked 10th in the Eastern Conference, obviously cannot pose any threat to the Supersonics.

In fact, the Bucks don't want to play badly this year. They are in a small market and profitability is already a problem, and they can't afford to play badly continuously.

But the team's lineup problems are not something they can solve in a short period of time.

They lack a stable and reliable outside scorer, and also lack a reliable inside attacker.

The reason they were able to climb from the bottom position to the fifth from the bottom was due to their unique combination of two small and two big guys - two small guys who like to break into the basket and two big guys who like to float on the outside.

TJ Ford and Mo Williams are both speed-type breakthrough players, while the eyebrow-less warrior Villanueva and Al-Farouq Aminu are both space-type power forwards. When these four people stand on the court, it feels like the world is turned upside down.

It cannot be said that Al-Farouq Aminu, who came to the United States to train for a year, has had a big breakthrough or change in his personality, but at least communication is no longer a problem, and his current agent is not someone like Feigen who likes to steal the show. Al-Farouq Aminu's attributes may not have reached the level expected by the Bucks, but his integration with the team is much stronger than in history.

In terms of playing style, with one more year of American basketball experience, Al-Farouq Aminu's level under the basket is not as bad as in the past. Although his hit rate is still just over 50%, it is almost enough for a newcomer.

Al-Farouq Aminu's main lethality is still in the low-confrontation range of long two-point shots, and his performance in this range is indeed amazing enough. If he can only play floatingly, he may not amount to anything in the playoffs, but the Bucks have nothing to do with the playoffs. His top priority is to prove his ability to be a stable starter while avoiding injuries.

Technical skills can be slowly trained and evolved, but a clear positioning and stable training opportunities are more important.

Some people say that Yi Jianlian's talent is better than Yao Ming's. It is not an exaggeration. Yi Jianlian's dynamic and static talents are worthy of his draft position.

It's just that historically, Al-Farouq Aminu has never been able to find his own position. From little KG, to a three-point turret, to little Randolph, he does not have a solid basic foundation except for the so-called spatial attributes. He has long two-pointers but no three-pointers, and he has three-pointers but the long two-pointers are inaccurate. Finally, he was slightly accurate in the interior, but his long-range shooting was bad.

"You are just as modest as Yao Ming. A team like the Bucks will give you a chance to shoot, so you just take it. You are a high draft pick, but you only take 11 shots and score 13 points every day. Do you think you are worthy of the team's expectations of you?"

"If the team can't make the playoffs, then the game is for you to practice. Do you think you have greater potential or someone else has greater potential? You can practice to win. No one cares about your shooting percentage during your rookie period. The SuperSonics won't focus on defense tonight. If you can't score 20 points, you'll be a substitute for Dazhi in next year's Olympics."

After harming Yao Ming, the evil Mo Wen extended his claws to Yi Jianlian.

When talking about the 08 Olympics, Yi Jianlian immediately became excited.

There are five Chinese players in the NBA now, but his position overlaps with Dazhi. It's not that he can't play as a small forward. In the Bucks, he and Villanueva basically take turns playing the three and four positions, but Harris and Jonas both prefer to pick a flexible and speedy guard to partner with Mo Wen, which means that Sun Yue has to play as a small forward.

Everyone wants to show up in the Olympics held in their own country. Even if Yi Jianlian doesn't say it, he wants to compete for a starting position in his heart. However, the majority opinion now is that Dazhi is more suitable than Yi Jianlian.

"Then I won't be polite. Our coach told me that I can take unlimited shots today." Al-Farouq Alan touched the back of his head. For some reason, the domineering declaration was mixed with a hint of shyness.

That night, the press area of ​​KeyArena was packed with reporters from across the country.

American reporters didn't care much about this game. What's so interesting about the game between the Supersonics and the bottom-ranked team? Life -1, wins +1, that's all.

What’s surprising is that the Supersonics didn’t even widen the gap in the first half of the game.

Knowing that the Bucks were a weak team, the generally tired Supersonics players began to slack off. Although they still maintained their level on the offensive end, their loose defense also cost the Bucks a lot of points.

The two small players of the Bucks played with great passion, especially Ford. Even though he was ruled out for a season by Madsen's foul two years ago, which laid a great threat to his career, it did not affect his courage to dive to the basket again and again.

Because of the speed threat of TJ Ford and Mo Williams after the pick-and-roll, Al-Farouq Aminu got a lot of opportunities.

光是上半场就12投7中，罚球3中2，拿到了16分。

His reliable mid-range shots make many people think that he is the next Milicic.

Seeing that they were only 2 points behind at halftime, the Bucks players' morale was boosted, but they lost 20 points in the third quarter.

All the players of the Supersonics have developed Mo Wen's bad habit of not liking to drag the game into the fourth quarter, so the high intensity in the third quarter has almost become a habit.

Why not start with high intensity from the beginning? How can we ensure the statistics of the stars during the garbage time in the first half?

The Supersonics just strengthened their interior defense, which made it difficult for the Bucks. The two small guys had difficulty breaking through and their shooting efficiency from the outside was completely unreliable.

The Bucks' inside player is Danga Zuric, who will dunk on the rebounds in the CBA in the future. However, he can only get 20+13 in the CBA and is just a pure blue-collar player in the NBA. He can't threaten Tyson at all, let alone hinder Tyson's rim protection.

Al-Farouq Aminu's efficiency has also been affected a lot. He is now mainly accurate in face-to-face shooting. Once he is interfered from the front or forced to make a back-to-the-basket shot, the shot will be very ugly.

He only scored 8 goals in 2 shots in the third quarter.

This is normal, after all, this is only his first year.

We don't expect him to surpass KG, but if he can realize his potential and reach the All-Star level in terms of pure strength, it will be a great benefit and stimulus to Chinese basketball.

Gay, who was responsible for defending Al-Farouq Aminu, envied Al-Farouq Aminu's situation. He never felt the bitterness of losing in the Supersonics. He just felt that the Bucks gave so many opportunities to rookies.

He couldn't secure a stable starting position in the Supersonics, but with the Bucks, the two big men overlapped in position and he could still be the starter.

In the final quarter, the Supersonics made a lot of rotations, but Mo Wen did not leave the court. Instead, he continued to stay on the court and played against Al-Farouq Aminu.

Originally everyone thought that Mo Wenchun was doing this for show effects and was playing a prank on his compatriots, but after watching for a while they realized that he seemed to be really doing something educational.

"Watch this, you have to be aggressive to get into position. You can't just sit there and wait until your teammates pass the ball to you. Every part of your body has the potential to become a weapon. Your close defense is very irritable. I only need to push a little bit and I will know your focus. It's useless for you to push me to the baseline. If you use your waist and horse as one, I won't let you squeeze through me."

"You need to hold the ball steady, shoot quickly, and be ruthless. Your fake move is too deliberate. Go back and watch the video of your shot, and practice in front of the mirror. When you can fool even yourself in the mirror, you'll be screwed."

"Yes, you could have pushed harder... That's how the goal was scored. Did you see the referee call a foul? Your brain works much better than Yao Ming's."

Mo Wen did not use conventional playing methods. He used standard inside techniques to fight against Al-Farouq Alian one-on-one. With his smooth inside skills and a big afro, he could become the rebounding king.

Bucks head coach Stotts almost gritted his teeth when he saw the student-like Yi Jianlian. He really believed the draft report that Yi Jianlian is the best power forward in China?
That’s because Mo Wen doesn’t usually play power forward, right?

Villanueva was scratching his head anxiously and asked, "Brother, can you speak English when teaching? Why do you have to use encryption during the open class?"

It stands to reason that foreign languages ​​cannot be used all the time during the game, but the referee doesn't want to deal with such nonsense.

At the end of the game, Mo Wen took advantage of the teaching session to score a triple-double of 36 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Al-Farouq Aminu also set a career high of 32 points and 8 rebounds, and everyone was happy.

……

On March 3, Seattle welcomed another sunset.

The golden point guard who perfectly combined the art of passing, team awareness, court vision and overall view ultimately lost to the hot hands of Mo Wen and Milicic.

After discovering that even Lagabell's fouls could not stop Mo Wen from scoring, Nash decisively increased his speed and used crazy running and gunning to counter the super-high efficiency of the Supersonics.

The score between the two sides reached an astonishing 79:80 at halftime.

莫闻半场26分还不是全场最高，米利西奇靠着14投12中，三分5中4，半场拿到了惊人的28分。

Stoudemire's Bollywood-level defensive performance gave Milicic the opportunity to explode, and when Marion let go of Mo Wen and took over again, he could no longer be held back.

In the first half of the third quarter, the two sides were still in a stalemate, but with the rotation of the Supersonics, the Suns, whose physical strength declined, could not keep up with the Supersonics' offense.

They rotated 6 players in the first half and 7 players in the whole court, and also did fast breaks throughout the court. It means that the Suns have NASA's miracle doctor to back them up, otherwise the farm tools would have sunk into the sea long ago.

At the end of the game, the score was 135:144, and the Supersonics continued their undefeated streak at home with a 9-point advantage.

Milicic also scored a career-high 50 points, finally making Mo Wen's emphasis on the Sonics' Big Three come true.

After the game, a reporter asked D'Antoni if ​​he had confidence in defeating the Supersonics in the playoffs.

"This is a complicated question. Will Mo be the MVP of this season, or the MVP among MVPs? They also have outstanding players like Dak and Ray. For such opponents, all we can do is to show all our strength and show the greatest respect. The Suns did not do well enough today. I now have ideas for improvement. We still have one more match in the regular season, and fans can look forward to it."

……

On March 3, the Supersonics faced the Hawks back-to-back.

The Sonics fans, who were already in a devilish home atmosphere, gave a rare round of applause to a visiting player.

Roy, who has lived in Seattle since he was born until he graduated from college, is still very popular in the SuperSonics. During this year's draft, the SuperSonics also guaranteed to Roy that they would select him, but Roy did not fall into the SuperSonics' draft pick.

Gay, who had no chance of competing for the best rookie award based on the statistics, tried to make a last-ditch effort. He kept looking for Roy on both offense and defense throughout the game, causing a lot of trouble for the best rookie.

"If I were in the Eagles, I could do better," Gay muttered.

Now he is getting along very well with the Supersonics, but he also wants to show himself.

During last year's draft, Gay was consistently in the top three on several lists, but in the end he couldn't beat the top few big men, which was unbalanced, but he couldn't even beat Roy, a veteran who had spent four years in college.

Even though Roy has more game experience than Guy, with Mo Wen by his side, the "beatings" he received were of higher quality.

The strength gap between the two teams was too big, and the Supersonics led by 19 points at halftime. Mo Wen played for three minutes in the third quarter and increased the score to 30 points, then left the stage to the young people.

Judging from the performance of the two players, Gay actually performed better than Roy.

盖伊全场拿下21分6篮板，而罗伊只有15分5篮板6助攻。

But the game is not just about statistics and scores. Compared to the irritable Gay, Roy maintained a stable mentality throughout the game even though he was targeted. For a core player, this is more rare than the temporary level of strength.

On March 3, the Supersonics faced the Heat at home.

Wade has not returned yet due to injury, and O'Neal was too lazy to lose weight with the Supersonics, so he left the game after only playing for 26 minutes.

Mo Wen was also very considerate (under the threat of O'Neal and Wade's eyes) and did not kill the Heat. He just scored 25 points and left early in tears.

The Supersonics maintained a good level for the next week, but near the end of March, they lost another away game to the Suns.

With the support of the home whistle and fans, the Suns' fierce attack caused considerable trouble to the Supersonics.

On the defensive end, the Suns players also made big moves. As the season drew to a close, Mo Wen and Hill didn't want anyone from the Sonics to get hurt, so they didn't go all in. They gambled on a three-pointer, but it didn't change their fate, so they just "used social skills." In the last game of March, the Sonics flew to Dallas.

The Sonics enjoyed the warm welcome of a finals rival, with cheers and loud music continuing from day to day.

During the visit, many enthusiastic cowboy girls recommended the local specialty milk to them.

It was no use for the team manager to complain to the police and the hotel manager. Those "passionate" fans learned guerrilla warfare and vowed to carry on the carnival to the end.

Mo Wenla’s hatred is too great, both new and old, which is enough to make this group of crazy rednecks do such a thing.

Payton was so angry that he wanted to throw shit at them, but he didn't have enough food in his stomach so he couldn't do it.

Mavericks fans thought that this method could ruin the mentality of the Supersonics players, but in fact it aroused everyone's anger.

Moreover, the person whose mentality they wanted to change the most, just accumulated a little sleepiness and went straight to the copy.

Looking at his teammates’ red eyes, Mo Wen knew that tonight’s game had to be decided quickly.

By the evening, the Sonics players, who had not had much rest, had fallen into a state of lethargy to varying degrees.

Before the game, after observing the spirit of the Supersonics players, Cuban felt that he was back in action.

He just didn't believe that after all this trouble, Supersonic and Mo Wen could come up with any more tricks.

"The Sonics will have a tough game tonight. I heard they were harassed by local fans and didn't get a good rest the whole night. The consecutive away games and the rest will be a huge test for the players."

"The behavior of some Dallas fans is seriously unsportsmanlike. Their fear of Mo is understandable, but trying to help the team in this way is despicable and unethical."

ESPN host Mike Breen didn't care that this was Dallas' home game and started to criticize directly.

After the players from both teams came on the court, the Mavericks players did not empathize with the Sonics' situation. Instead, they seemed a little... gloating.

They were so focused on washing away the humiliation that they no longer cared about anything else.

It’s just that the Mavericks were thinking about revenge, and the Supersonics were also angry.

After the Supersonics decided to defeat the Mavericks as soon as possible, everyone showed the same momentum as in the fourth quarter of the previous game.

Mo Wen saved some of his strength and didn't waste too much ball possession, but he also gave it his all in other areas.

Although the Mavericks players also wanted revenge, they did not expect the Supersonics to be so intense.

Six minutes into the first quarter, the Supersonics' furious 6:21 run turned the American Airlines Center into a library.

Under the organization of the home DJ, the fans gradually came back to their senses, cheering for the home team crazily and cursing everything about the Supersonics.

In this atmosphere of summary, the Mavericks began to gradually regain their form, until the end of the first quarter with the score at 38:20, and finally prevented the Supersonics from turning the game into garbage time.

"Look at them, they can't hold on for much longer! Cheer up, even the score at halftime, you can do it, you can do it!"

In the player's bench, the young general was cheering for the players crazily.

On the Sonics side, old Hill was also working hard for the players. He also knew that the Sonics players' form could not be maintained forever. If they wanted to win the game, they had to gain enough advantages in the early stages.

After the second quarter, the Supersonics were still in an advantageous position.

As his teammates' condition declined, Mo Wen began to take over more of the team's offense.

By halftime, the Supersonics were leading the Mavericks 70:50, widening the gap by 20 points. Mo Wen also scored 15 points in the second quarter, and with the 7 points in the first quarter, he had 22 points in the half.

It’s just that the Mavericks players also felt the decline of the Supersonics and became more and more confident.

In the third quarter, the Mavericks began to chase points under the leadership of Nowitzki.

Milicic was in poor form, so Hill tried to replace him with Millsap and Greg Smith.

But it's not just Milicic who was affected in his rest.

There was no other way. Seeing Nowitzki getting better and better, Mo Wen could only use his ultimate weapon -

"Come on, Dirk, I'll tell you why you don't deserve to be MVP."

Under everyone's attention, Mo Wen stood directly in front of Nowitzki.

If no one saves me, I will save myself.

No one knows how to defend Nowitzki better than Mo Wen.

"Is Mo crazy? He actually chose to actively defend against the Germans?"

"The Supersonics are still leading the Mavericks. He shouldn't waste his energy on fooling around in this place. What he should do is respond to Nowitzki's score!"

"I admit that Mo's defense is very good. If he wants, he can even compete for the best defensive player in the three positions from point guard to shooting guard to small forward. But although Nowitzki has also played as a small forward, he is a 2-meter big man, a physique that is definitely suitable for inside players!"

"When he played against that Chinese rookie some time ago, he did show off at the four position, but this is Nowitzki, an MVP contender at the same level as him!"

The commentators on the sidelines and in the studio were questioning Mo Wen's choice.

Nowitzki grinned. He felt that Mo Wen's choice was a waste of time. The difference in body size could not be made up by any defensive skills.

"Then I'll show you why I can be a candidate for MVP!"

After taking a glance at the other Sonics players and seeing no intention of double-teaming him, Nowitzki bumped into Mo Wen with his ball-guarding hand and stepped back to shoot.

He wanted to let Mo Wen feel what the height of MVP was!
One-legged stand - leaning back on one leg and kicking. It is very unstoppable after being mastered, but it is difficult to master. At least Nowitzki's confrontation and shooting stability are not up to standard yet.

Mo Wen was quite familiar with Nowitzki's offensive methods, and he activated the Eye of the Emperor (experience) and saw through them directly.

He stepped sideways and rushed forward, and before Nowitzki shot, his fingertips touched the basketball.

"What!" Nowitzki's pupils trembled.jpg
"How is it possible!" The young general's jaw dropped to the ground.jpg
"Wang Defa?!" The commentator and the onlookers were shocked.jpg
The three-segment comic storyboard cannot show the inner shock of the person involved.

They had imagined the success and failure of Nowitzki's attack in their minds, but the only thing they had never imagined was a shot that was blocked.

Mo Wen rubbed his fingers, and the basketball that was about to be launched was peeled off from the "launch pad".

After a shoulder bump, elbow strike and butt push, Mo Wen smoothly switched to the key position after landing and pushed Nowitzki away.

Dirty or not, this is basketball. With the force with which Nowitzki pushed him just now, if his lower body was a little weaker, it would have been good enough for him to stand firm, let alone trying again to block the shot.

Historically, when Nowitzki was picked on the wrong side of the mark this year, the martial arts master defending him was often pushed away and elbowed by Nowitzki. If you watch the Western Conference replays of Nowitzki's legendary season, you will see many scenes of Nowitzki knocking down the defender and committing a foul at the same time.

Running all the way, Mo Wen took one more step after entering the free throw line and took off directly, swinging his arms and hitting the rim.

boom! ! !
Mo Wen tilted his head towards Nowitzki who was returning to defense. He didn't say any trash talk, but just made an expression that said "that's it".

In the next round, seeing that Mo Wen had taken advantage and went after Nowitzki again, Terry was very loyal and passed the ball to Nowitzki in the elbow area.

Nowitzki couldn't figure out how Mo Wen blocked him in the last round, so he chose to go inside.

Mo Wen took a step back, never evading, nor fighting head-on, and each confrontation left him with a feeling of wanting more.

In addition to the regular confrontation, Mo Wen also had many old-school tricks in his hands to disrupt Nowitzki's rhythm.

According to the Mavericks' normal tactics, Nowitzki should have passed the ball at this time, but his reputation is not good. If he even avoids the point guard Mo Wen, wouldn't he really become a wimp in the eyes of those critics?
After creating a suitable space, Nowitzki once again used his knee kick to the balls.

Compared with Kobe and Danny's fade away, Nowitzki's jumping height is not high, but he has the advantage of being tall and having long arms, and his shooting point is not low.

Mo Wen couldn't block the ball, but he did provide enough interference.

boom--

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

Many people showed hesitation on their faces. Two goals had already been scored. Could it be that Mo Wen could really defend Nowitzki?
Millsap grabbed the rebound, which passed through Ray Allen's hands and finally into Mo Wen's hands.

Mo Wen didn't rush to fight with Terry, but pointed at Nowitzki.

The German tank gritted its teeth and switched defense. Mo Wen did not take advantage of the situation, but waited until Nowitzki was in position, and then used the same technique as Nowitzki in the previous round to start playing inside.

The Mavericks players around were stunned. Was Mo Wen really planning to use the power forward's skills to play against Nowitzki at the four position?

I don’t know why, besides feeling it was ridiculous, they also thought Mo Wen was going too far.

If this gets in...

The Sonics players were not surprised. Mo played point guard only because this position had the greatest impact on the team, not because he could not play it.

Nowitzki wanted to grit his teeth and hold on, but with only a 10-kg weight advantage and a higher center of gravity, he couldn't gain any advantage in the confrontation with Mo Wen, who was full of experience and skills, so he had to retreat.

The young general was shouting on the sidelines, asking them to double-team him, but Mo Wen had already found the rhythm and turned around and leaned back.

Nowitzki has a good knife, but that doesn't mean he has a shield to fight against it.

The futile block not only failed to block Mo Wen, but also resulted in a foul because of the obvious action of pushing Mo Wen.

Swah——

and one!

There is an extra penalty for scoring!

"Have you learned it, Dirk?" Mo Wen said with a smile.

"Fick dich!" Nowitzki pushed Mo Wen and broke his defense.

The fans who saw this scene were also shocked.

No, did you really get a teaching session again?
When it was the Mavericks' offensive round, the unstable Nowitzki once again missed a shot under Mo Wen's defense. After Mo Wen decisively received the ball and made a three-pointer, the score difference was widened to 23 points again. The young general finally couldn't help but call a timeout.

If Mo Wen continues to fight like this, Nowitzki might not survive.

A loser from another field runs to your field and defeats you in the way you are best at, just like the support helps clear the line in the middle lane and kills the opponent's full-health mid laner by the way. This is also a game of Jimao. The mid laners on both sides can just find a class to beat.

Cuban grabbed the assistant coach next to him and pinched his face. Is this true?
So what did he just see?
Or someone drugged him?
His beloved, his hope was defeated by that bastard in this way!
While the young general was comforting Nowitzki, other thoughts arose in his mind.

He had praised Nowitzki as an MVP-level player in front of the media many times before, but looking at Mo Wen’s teaching game against Nowitzki just now…is this guy really on the same level as that monster?
"Coach, is that a real game you're showing, or is Nowitzki's shooting ability stolen by Mo, just like in the movie about Michael Dunk?" Baron Davis shifted his gaze from the TV to the white-haired old man next to him in disbelief.

"Yes, Dirk still hasn't made up for his shortcomings. I thought he would wake up after suffering a loss in last year's finals." Old Nelson shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Mo's skills are very comprehensive. He must have studied Dirk and used Dirk's weaknesses. Combined with his own abilities, he was able to achieve this effect."

"In the game two days ago, Stephen made it very difficult for Dirk to defend. I thought it was a problem with Dirk's own touch, but it turned out to be his defect?" Yao Ming touched his head.

"If Dirk can't solve this problem in a short time, we might as well go play against the Mavericks." The bearded man thought quickly.

The Warriors had a smooth start to the season, but several main players suffered injuries. Although they are still firmly in the playoff range, they can't compete with the monsters in the upper half. With their current winning rate, they will probably fall to sixth place and play against the Suns in the first round.

Against the Suns, Yao Ming is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Although they are confident, they are not that optimistic. But against the Mavericks...

"I think Yao Ming might need a break, coach."

"This is not good..." Yao Ming was a little hesitant at first. He was indeed injured and his big toe nail was stepped on and broken, but it was not to the extent that he could not play. Out of professionalism, he felt that he could hold on.

But when he thought about the revenge against the Mavericks and the series that was blacklisted in 05, Yao Ming's tone changed again.

"Okay, I won't hold on any longer. Coach, to be honest, I really need a rest. If you don't believe me, just look at my big toe..."

"Are you serious?" Nelson asked with a smile. "I agree."

Dayao hesitated for a moment, then felt that taking a vacation like this was a bit ridiculous.

"If you don't want this vacation, I'll give it to someone else. I don't want to play against the Suns in the first round. It will be too exhausting for you, and we must avoid it." Old Nelson patted Yao Ming on the shoulder.

"Coach, I think I..." Baron Davis became interested.

"Shut up! I won't give you a holiday even if you're injured. A holiday will only make you fat. We don't have that much time to wait for you to lose weight after we get into the playoffs!"

On the court, Nowitzki's mentality was obviously much better after returning.

But his desire to attack was still quite strong, especially when Mo Wen continued to stand in front of him in a defensive posture.

He also wanted to prove himself, to prove that he could not be defended by Mo Wen, and that he could not be taught a lesson by Mo Wen's forehand and backhand.

Terry looked at Nowitzki's expression and couldn't help but pass the ball to him a few more times, but the efficiency was still not high.

In the third quarter, Nowitzki faced Mo Wen 7 times, but only scored 1, resulting in 2 free throws.

His performance also halted the Mavericks' momentum in chasing points.

Although Mo Wen's efficiency was not as terrible as when he was on the court, he inherited the normal efficiency of Nowitzki's playing style. He made 12 of 6 shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 16 points. He scored another 38 points at the end of the third quarter.

Despite a difference of more than ten points, the Mavericks did not give up.

But after two weak quarters, the other players of the Supersonics also played their best and dragged the game to the end.

Nowitzki also made outstanding contributions. Mo Wen gave up defending him in the second half of the fourth quarter, but Nowitzki's cold touch was restored.

He once again contributed an undercover performance of 6 for 1.

At the end of the game, the Supersonics won with a 111-point advantage: 106:5.

Mo Wen also continued to make 10 of 6 shots in the final quarter, 2 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 13 points. His total score for the game was 51 points, which was enough to meet the requirement.

2 points in 100 games, job done.

When the red light came on, Mo Wen stretched out his two open hands in Cuban's direction.

He shook it, put it together again, and placed it on the side of his tilted head.

Good night, Dallas cubs.
