basketball never sleeps

Chapter 48
"I have no conflict with Mo. It was just a normal substitution. We just hoped that Tyshawn (Prince) could contribute to defending Kobe after the break, but no one thought that OK would still be able to play after 40 minutes on the court. There is so much physical strength."

"Mo is a very good player, and his flat ball is great, but everyone should not forget that he is still young and will have immature actions on the court. I will arrange him to play at the right time."

"The Lakers are a team that everyone is optimistic about. We have long been prepared to win the championship with difficulty."

Larry Brown talked eloquently in front of the camera. He didn't mention the conflict with Mo Wen, and he also deliberately downplayed the credit for Mo Wen's three-point tie.

Mo Wen, who was also interviewed by many media, also kept silent about the conflict between Te and Larry Brown. We are all adults, and it is impossible for the enemy to expose the internal discord.

Many media in Los Angeles made a speculative analysis of this matter, but when the pistons were of the same caliber, it was just cooking with sand.As for the media in Detroit, they don't care about such big things. There are not many people in Detroit every day, and fighting is not commonplace.

But it didn't end there.

After returning to Detroit, in the Pistons training session, Larry Brown secretly poked Mo Wen to wear small shoes. As a result, Dumars received a message from Shoeman that afternoon - Mo Wen was temporarily unable to participate because of a bad stomach. Subsequent team training.

"Is it really appropriate for you to do this?"

Xiuman looked at Mo Wen who was bouncing around in the gym with a wry smile, he didn't look like he had a bad stomach.

"It's not appropriate for me to go to training. As long as I have a bad temper and tolerate him all morning, it's for the sake of my teammates. It's not that we are going to play in the finals. The old man and I probably need one in the hospital and one." At the police station."

On the treadmill, Mo Wen wiped the sweat from his brow, and said in a leisurely manner.

Human only thought that Mo Wen was joking, but what he didn't know was that in Milicic's locker, besides a pair of boxing gloves, there was also a large stacked black plastic bag. Recently, Milicic was learning English. All they read were detective books, and Mo Wen was also reviewing "Today's Statement".

If it weren't for the fact that the championship is a collective honor, Larry Brown would not have known which trash can he was thrown into.

"By the way, I recently received a bunch of contract offers for sneakers. Your unbeatable three-pointer is about to detonate the public opinion in your country. Nike has given you 4 million for 2200 years. If you can win the championship, I think you will do it again. rise."

"Adidas' offer is 5 million for five years, and Reebok's offer is 2500 million for three years. Do you want to take a look?"

Xiuman took out a bunch of documents and handed them to Mo Wen, and looked at Mo Wen with a smile.

"Steve (Human) are you giving me this to make me doubt your professionalism?"

Mo Wen frowned, and didn't even bother to take over the documents. This price—although it was already at the same level as the contract he signed with Dayao, it was not enough for his commercial value.

"Ha, don't think too much, Mo, this is just their intentional offer, and it's my duty to let you know that there is such a thing, but your reaction makes me very happy, I thought you would be very excited."

Seeing Mo Wen's reaction, Xiuman nodded in satisfaction, and casually folded the stack of letters of intent back into his bag.

"My suggestion is to wait until after the Olympics. If your performance can maintain the standard, I can guarantee that a contract lower than double the current offer will not appear in front of you!"

Double that, which means an average of tens of millions a year. Hearing this number, Mo Wen nodded. Human's commercial contract commission is a full 13%, so it is impossible to play tricks on this kind of thing.

"One more thing, the fitness trainer, nutritionist and masseuse you asked me to find for you before have all been found, and one of them is a relative of John, but they are very professional, don't worry, they will wait for you to finish the finals It will be in place later, but you have to wait until you sign a sneaker contract or other endorsements to sign a long-term employment contract with them."

A meaningful smile flashed across Human's face as he spoke, but Mo Wen didn't notice.

"OK, thanks."

·······
G3 of the finals started at the Palace of Auburn Hills, only one day later, and the Lakers, who were still on their way, obviously did not recover from the fatigue of the last game.

Zen Master expected that Kobe, who played well in the last game, would be targeted, and added an offensive task to a German George who had no sense of presence, but it did not play a big role.

A player like Devin George who doesn't have the ability to hold the ball can't pose a threat to the Pistons' front at all.

The Pistons can fully release their defensive strength at home.The Lakers were defended by only 17 points in the first quarter, 7 points behind the Pistons.

O'Neal is still the big killer on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, his protection against rebounds is greatly reduced due to fatigue.Originally, it was difficult for Big Ben to stop him from picking up the rebound, but today, Campbell, who returned from injury, had two offensive rebounds on O'Neal's head.

Hamilton can be called the king of misses. In the first quarter, Payton, Fisher and Devin George missed 4 three-pointers, and three of them turned into long rebounds and were picked up by Hamilton.

In the second quarter, the coaches of the two teams replaced the substitute lineup in a tacit understanding, and Mo Wen also got a chance to play-Dumas talked to Larry Brown. Mo Wen will definitely be sent away next season, and now he is covering Mo Wen Smell that not allowing him to play will reduce his transaction value and affect the strength of the team. Larry Brown is angry and angry, but business is business.

After playing, Mo Wen played almost the entire second quarter, substituting from the 1st position to the 3rd position, organizing-scoring-defending, fully demonstrating his value to the entire league without dead ends.

Zen Master also assisted. When Mo Wen was playing No. 2, he replaced Kobe and replaced him with Karim Rush. The only role in the game is to shoot three-pointers. In this year's playoffs, he averaged 2.3 three-pointers and hit 0.9. The three-point shooting percentage and the number of shots are higher than two-pointers. The defensive contribution above is completely negative.

Rush missed both offensive shots, and Mo Wen, who defended, made 3 of 2 shots and scored two three-pointers. Kobe was so angry that he dropped the towel and ran back.

Zen Master could only shake his head helplessly. Rush was the No. 02 pick in the first round in 20, and he played under Kobe's training for two years, but he still couldn't match Mo Wen at all. This Chinese is really outrageous.

莫闻第二节出场10分钟，7投4中，三分3中2，罚球2中2，单节砍下12分2篮板2助攻1抢断的数据，几乎每个进攻回合莫闻都有贡献。

Zen master made frequent substitutions in order to avoid the situation where the Lakers' starting time was too long in the previous two games, which led to the final physical exhaustion, but in order to stabilize the score, O'Neal, who should be replaced, still did not get a rest.

The two teams scored 20:22 in this quarter, and the Pistons opened up the Lakers by 2 points.

In the third quarter, the Lakers wanted to come first after the start, but O'Neal was replaced due to physical problems and rested for most of the quarter. To make matters worse, Malone suffered a knee injury and ended up halfway after the start.

Kobe was a little happy at the beginning, thinking that he had finally waited for his solo dance, but the liberated Pistons inside made him unable to "dance" at all.

The two inside lines of the Pistons are like Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao guarding the gate of Tang Emperor, guarding the Pistons' inside line to the middle distance tightly.

The Lakers can't open up space on the outside, and there is no O'Neal involved in the inside. Kobe made 6 of 2 shots, Malone, Payton, and O'Neal made 1 of 1, and the Big Four scored 9 of 5, plus a few role players. A few long two points were scored, which made the game not directly lose suspense.

For the Pistons, it doesn’t matter if Ben and Rashid are inaccurate in the interior. Billups abuses the old fish every day. He made 4 of 3 shots and scored 9 points with two free throws. When in place, he also played an efficient offense of 5 of 3 shots.

汉密尔顿下场前特意拍了拍“8号”手指指向了场边的计分板，两人三节结束的得分比是20：8，而两队的总比分是56：68。

"Gap (gap)!"

Murder will be punished!
Mo Wen replaced Billups for another 4 minutes in this quarter, sent two assists, and stole a pass from Rush.

In the last quarter, Hamilton made 2 three-pointers in the opening game, directly widening the point difference to 15+, which broke the morale of the Lakers.

Larry Brown made what he thought was the boldest decision in the series, replacing Milicic when the difference between the two teams widened to 20 points!

The cheers from the fans on the sidelines did not embarrass Milicic, who gradually understood the fans' minds, especially when someone called him the nickname "Human Victory Cigar", Milicic even wanted to rush over to find the fan theory.

"Time is running out, don't be angry with those ignorant fans, show your talent."

Mo Wen, who replaced Billups again, patted Milicic on the arm and pushed him onto the field.

Although Larry Brown gave them the task of defending, Mo Wen and Milicic played offense in their own way. The others pulled away. Out of the Lakers' last timeout of the game.

The Lakers put up three shooters to hit three-pointers, but they didn't get any shots. Mo Wen and Milicic played in the low post for a while and scored 6 points.

If the point difference between the two teams widens to 30 points, the Lakers will not have to play in the next few games, but what is unacceptable is that the Pistons have replaced their starting lineup, Mo Wen, Hamm, Collis, Millie The lineups of Hickey and Campbell all overwhelmed the Lakers with Kobe Bryant.

"The Lakers' bench lineup is too bad. Malone is injured, Payton is down, and OK doesn't play together. They can't even play as a pure substitute for the Pistons."

"Coach Jackson has no way to break the game. After all, Kobe is not Michael, and Michael can't make it to the finals without a helper."

"The Pistons are only 2 or 3 games away from winning the championship. I seem to have seen the twilight of the gods."

Inside ESPN's studio, McBrin wrote the prelude to the Lakers' death.

Unreconciled Lakers fans are still pinning their hopes on the next "OK" explosion.

In G4 of the finals, O'Neal did hit 21 of 16 shots. With Malone only playing for 19 minutes, he alone carried inside and scored 36 points and 20 rebounds. Although 11 of 4 free throws were flawed, But he also defended his title as the league's number one center.

But what basketball pays attention to is the blossoming inside and outside, and the lonely will not be rewarded.

科比没了上场比赛的神勇25投8中，罚球2中2，勉强拿下20分。佩顿11投4中8分就是湖人的第三得分点了。

The helpless Zen master signaled the Lakers players to step up confrontation and want to play some dirty games. The referees on the sidelines really didn't get used to them, so they could blow as much as they wanted. As a result, Luke Walton created the record of full fouls in the shortest time in the finals.

12 fouls in 6 minutes.

当了三场蓝领的拉希德今天终于吃了顿饺子，23投10中，罚球7中6，三分4中0，拿下活塞最高的26分，比卢普斯日常提款面对湖人的外线拿下23分4助攻4篮板。

Mo Wen, the third-highest scorer for the Pistons, continued to take turns as a substitute in the three positions. He scored 22 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists in 4 minutes of playing, making the general managers of each team drool.

When the buzzer sounded for the end of the game, countless fans blew up the entire arena with their cheers.

Because in the history of the NBA, no team can be overturned in the finals 3:1.

Jonas on the sidelines did not go to the last finals after watching the game, but directly chose to fly back to China.

"There's nothing to look at, I've got Mo's instruction manual."

"He, like Yao, is a player destined for greatness."

Originally, neither he nor Harris had much hope for this year's Olympics, so they thought they were here for training.

But Mo Wen's maturity gave Jonas a big surprise, especially Mo Wen's all-round performance from the 1st position to the 3rd position in these two games, there is too much room for imagination!

He will go back and discuss with Harris how to match Mo Wen and Yao Ming with players and appropriate tactics.

After the game, Mo Wenzhen put away the jersey carefully.

It's rare to have a home jersey that isn't tainted by Larry Brown.

"Mother-in-law, don't leave if you can't bear it."

Billups threw his sweaty jersey at Mo Wen's head.

"Heh, do you still want Grandpa to substitute for you? There's no way!"

Mo Wen unceremoniously stuffed Billups' jersey into the bag.

"Just wait, come back next time, I won't show mercy."

　There is another one tomorrow morning
