basketball never sleeps

Chapter 34 It's Really Coins!
"Actually, you don't have to care too much about the team's recent training results. Just be yourself. Larry still likes you better."

Mo Wen was talking to Prince while throwing the basketball onto the backboard. Next to him, Milicic charged forward to pick up the basketball and hit the basket with a heavy dunk.

This kid Milicic still couldn't let go. Mo Wen kept suggesting that he yell after the hit, but this kid always felt ashamed to do so and couldn't let go.

"Everyone has a unique talent, and your talent... More precisely, your mentality is not aggressive enough, and the Pistons don't give you that much room to be aggressive."

Prince's personality can be said to be the most peaceful one among the Pistons. "Calm, teamwork, and selflessness" are his labels. On the defensive end, he is a qualified performer, but on the offensive end, his desire to shoot is greater than that of the Pistons. Both are low.

Daben’s low offensive desire is because he knows that his offensive shooting rate is low and he is afraid of being “killed by sharks”. Prince’s offensive talent is not bad, and he also has breakthrough shots and passes. He just lacks passion.

On the offensive end, Prince feels like a man in his 40s who has to pay public food, highlighting a routine.

That's why Larry Brown likes him.

Although Mo Wen is also based on defense, he is not without the desire to attack.

In recent dungeons, Mo Wen puts more and more physical energy into the offensive end. Half of the potential rough stones produced in the dungeon are added to the body as usual, and he adds the rest to the CIC (75 → 80) and three points (68→71).

The realization of technical potential is much faster than the realization of physical potential. According to his prediction, his increased potential in this wave will be fully realized into strength before June.

It's a pity that the Pistons don't have much room for him to play. If Mo Wen's number of shots increases, it will definitely destroy the current chemistry and offensive fluency of the Pistons. Although Mo Wen's average data per game will definitely not be like this, but Correspondingly, the efficiency will also decrease.

From a team point of view, the selfless Prince is more suitable for the Pistons than Mo Wen.

"If you really want to enrich your offensive methods, I suggest you go to Rashid to learn his straight-arm shooting. For a tall and long person like you, it is better to understand a technique than me It’s better to dabble in a little bit of everything.”

"Of course, if you let me teach you, I can teach you about my banned trick in the training match."

Mo Wen gave a wicked smile, and made a one-armed gyro in the air.

"Your long arms are actually very suitable for this. Believe me, if I learn, your scoring average will definitely increase by three or four points."

But Prince backed away and waved his hands again, shaking his head like a rattle.

"No, no, I... I can't learn this trick of yours, and I will be beaten."

Mo Wen made a foul by Ma Long and the two had a fight. Prince looked at his big frame, and he was not bad at playing, but he really didn't have much confidence in fighting.

I thought that Mo Wen didn't want to teach him this competitor, but what Prince didn't expect was that Mo Wen still brought him and Milicic to train together.

The content of the training is also lacking in Prince

Mo Wen is not a stingy person, and it is really appropriate for Prince and Milicic to practice together.

Prince, an honest man, doesn't know much about fake moves, and Milicic, an 18-year-old, is also inexperienced in defending fake moves. If they were asked to practice with Mo Wen alone, both of them would be ignored by Mo Wen. autistic

···
As expected by Mo Wen, but to the surprise of the others in the Pistons, Prince also returned to the starting position directly after recovering from health.

The reason given by Larry Brown is also very Larry Brown-Prince can better help the team on the defensive end.

"I should have listened to you, replaced my agent and applied for a deal, that old man is blind!"

Milicic thought he was still defending Mo Wen, but Mo Wen just waved his hand.

The little brother is still young, with a monthly income of [-], and he takes his life to invest in it. This is not how this business is done.

Mo Wen's injury resistance is not high. Even if Larry Brown doesn't mention it, Mo Wen will take the initiative to apply to return to the bench when Prince's injury recovers.

Look at Collis, look at Okur, he is happy as a substitute now, what kind of starter, don't mention it, man is really bad!

The new backup point guard, Mike James, is already in the second grade and still looks like a little brother. After training, he helps the masseur squeeze Billups' legs and shoulders, for fear that the big brother above his head will get hurt.

The Pistons players whose contracts expire this year are the happiest. Larry Brown signed a five-year contract with the Pistons. As long as they don't renew their contracts this year, there is a high probability that the next contract will perfectly avoid this bad old man.

What made Mo Wen gratified and worried was that Milicic's rebellious mood became more and more heightened after changing his agent. He still didn't dare to contradict Larry Brown, but he was able to ignore Larry Brown.

Milicic has been working hard in basketball training recently, and the boxing gym has not fallen behind.

He is very worried that if he is not in the trade next season, Milicic will really fuck up Larry Brown without anyone persuading him.

Mo Wen knew very well that Dumars would never let Milicic go easily. Everyone in the Pistons knew Milicic's talent except Larry Brown who "didn't wear glasses".

In the future, if Milicic is really left alone, he thinks it is necessary for him to buy an insurance policy for Larry Brown, and of course the name of the beneficiary must be written in Mo Wen.

Time has entered April, the regular season has also entered the final stage, and the pattern of the playoffs is gradually becoming clear.

In only 7 games left in the regular season, the Pistons will play the Pacers again.

But the highly anticipated Pacers and the complete Pistons have swapped roles.

The addition of Rasheed made the Pistons no longer helpless against Jermaine O'Neill, and after Jerome was locked up, Artest's offense alone was far from enough.

And Prince's "big spider" style just restrains a reckless man like Artest.

If you can't get in, you will be disturbed by Prince's huge defensive range. If you get in, you will be delayed and then double-teamed.

Watching Artest getting more and more irritable on the court, Larry Brown glanced at Mo Wen several times.

The little eyes seem to say - look at his defense, you will never learn it in your life!

Mo Wen also noticed the look in the little old man's eyes, and just chuckled. The conflict between the two in the team had become more and more obvious under Mo Wen's undisguised disobedience.

If it weren't for the Pistons, it would be useless, and Larry Brown didn't even want Mo Wenduo to play for 1 minute.

The villainous Larry Brown played a ruthless hand in this game. The Pistons, which had won by 5 points in the last 18 minutes, did not replace the main players.

The Pacers scored only 2 points in the last 59 minutes. Prince still acted like he was loyal to his duty. Artest was impatient. A strong team scored less than 60 points. It would be embarrassing. up.

Seeing that Artest put on a posture of needing ribs or defending, Larry Brown could only "mercifully" replace the main force.

The Pistons won the focus game, but they were still a head behind the Pacers in terms of final record.

After the regular season, the Pacers eventually defeated the 61-win Pistons with a record of 21 wins and 55 losses.

At the same time, this also means that the Pistons can only participate in the playoffs as the second in the Central Division.

This is very unreasonable, because the No. 47 Nets in the Atlantic Division only have 42 wins, and the No. [-] Heat in the Southeast Division even only have [-] wins. According to the rules, these two teams are ranked higher than the Pistons in the playoffs. high.

Stern's ranking rules in this division were intended to be a whole job, but it turned out to be a joke.

In the end, a meeting was held within the league to see that the Heat's record was outrageous, and they raised the Pistons' ranking online.

As for this, the boss of the Pistons is still not satisfied.

If the playoffs are still ranked like last year, they should be second, and the team against the Knicks should also be rubbish.

The Knicks have changed three head coaches this season, and their salary expenditure is almost twice the current salary cap. There are 5 players in the team with an annual salary of more than 1000 million. Including the luxury tax, the salary expenditure has already exceeded the "small goal" of an ugly country. .

However, it didn't help, and their regular season winning percentage was not even 50%.

Mo Wen played against the Knicks as the starter at the end of March. The Knicks' best performance in that game was their blue-collar center Muhammad.

Watching Marbury with an annual salary of 1500 million being beaten by the Pistons' Billups with an annual salary of 500 million, Mo Wen once had the urge to hug New York's thigh.

This is a real Sabie... oh no, it's a real coin!
Looking at the big picture from a small perspective, the rottenness of the East is already the consensus of everyone.

The Celtics, who eventually ranked eighth in the East, only won 36 games in the regular season, and this win can only be ranked third from the bottom in the West.

The Clippers, the bottom-to-bottom Clippers in the West, couldn't even rank in the top three in the East.
