basketball never sleeps

Chapter 52 Is this world really fair?
"Stop...stop...stop Catherine, I can't hold on anymore, let me go."

"No, it's not time yet!"

"Fuck, how long are you going to wait?"

"Persist for a while, just for a while!"

"You've been repeating this sentence for 3 minutes, you bitch!"

Hearing this, Catherine's figure pressed down again.

"Oh, crumb, slow down, I'm still a 20-year-old boy!"

"Are you really—a boy?"

After a while, Catherine got up, and Mo Wen, who was covered in sweat, hugged her legs pitifully.

"Don't worry, I will be responsible for your body." Catherine chuckled lightly, took the timer and left in satisfaction

Mo Wen gritted his teeth and looked at Catherine's back. He thought Catherine was just a shrew, but unexpectedly she was a poisonous woman!

This wave of leg pressing lasted him for 5 minutes. Is this something a human can do?

Before Mo Wen could catch his breath, Catherine twisted her seductive waist and came to Mo Wen's eyes.

"Okay, you have rested for 55 seconds, it's time to move on to the next training program."

"If Yao Ming says that again, let him be the head coach!"

An angry Harris slammed the table in front of the director of the basketball team, pointed at a certain piece of newspaper and began to curse.

The director could only ask Harris to sit down in embarrassment, poured him tea, and said good things to the translator next to him.

What made the always gentle "Silver Fox" lose his temper so much?The director looked at the circled page in the newspaper and sighed secretly.

There was nothing else written on it, it was just an exclusive interview with Yao Ming. In the interview, Yao Ming expressed his thoughts. He didn’t want the team’s veteran—Fan Bin, who had never participated in a world-class competition in his life, to be laid off on the eve of the Olympics. Kicked out of the men's basketball squad.

Jiao Jian and Fan Bin are the heroes of the men's basketball championship in the Harbin Asian Championships. They have made great contributions to the Chinese men's basketball team's winning of the Olympic tickets. If they are Chinese coaches, they would like to hitch a ride for the Olympics because of their sophistication. Dreams, in fact, there is nothing wrong with it.

But Harris and Jonas have always wanted to cut them out of the consideration of cultivating talents for the men's basketball team.

The goal of the men's basketball team in this Olympics is to train troops. For the more important BJ Olympic training in 08, what's the use of bringing Jiao Jian, who has little potential, and a 34-year-old veteran who is about to retire?

Harris wants to cut them every month, but every time the Basketball Association finds various reasons to keep them.

Until July, when the men's basketball team decided to go to Long Beach for training, Fan Bin was finally selected.

"Brother Yao, is this world really fair?"

The night before the registration, Liu Wei lay on the bed blankly, asking Dayao next door.

Dayao was stunned for a moment, and remained silent for a long time, knowing what Liu Wei meant.

Fan Bin entered the National Youth League since he was a child, won glory for the country, and made great contributions to the great cause of Bayi. In the Asian Championships the year before last, he used his experience to help the men's basketball team stabilize at a critical moment and help the men's basketball team win the championship.

He had three chances to participate in the Olympics but missed each time, which is a tragedy.

It's okay if it's just like this. After all, the original intention of Harris and Jonas is also to make the men's basketball team stronger. Although they are uncomfortable, it is not unacceptable.

But Mo Wen, on the other hand, has never played for the country before, and has not returned to China after the finals. He only needs to wait for them in Los Angeles, and he has already reserved the absolute outside core of the men's basketball team.

Maybe Mo Wen is very capable, but this kind of thing that doesn't look at seniority at all, and speaks based on strength, has made many veterans in the men's basketball team quite critical.

"Then what is the reason for that kid, he stepped on the horse, entered the Olympics without putting in the slightest bit of effort, and became the core, it's really unreasonable to be on the horse!"

Yao Ming heard such yelling outside the locker room last time, this one was the loudest, and he heard some others who didn't yell out, it wasn't just one person complaining, it was a group of people.

He didn't go in and argue with the people inside, because he was also the "special" one in the men's basketball team.

Harris developed 30 sets of basic tactics for the Chinese men's basketball team, and evolved more advanced tactics, with more than 150 sets.

One-third of them were prepared with Mo Wen as the core, one-third were prepared with Yao Ming as the core, and one-third were team tactics based on internal and external coordination.

When he was on the court, he was the core of all the players' operations and tactics. The previous outside-oriented tactical system no longer existed. As many media said, Harris regarded him as "the old man's crutch." Without being on the court, the other players wouldn't be able to play.

Dayao could clearly feel the cooling enthusiasm of his teammates. Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone was definitely uncomfortable.

This is not bad, because everyone can only say that there is a little gap with him.

As for Mo Wen, he didn't come back during the training camp in China. Li Nan and Fang Yu proposed to take Mo Wen's position and lead everyone to familiarize themselves with outside tactics in advance, but Yunas directly refused.

"There's nothing to practice, it's just the normal pick-and-roll tactics in the NBA. You just need to stand in a good position, help Mo put a distance, and watch him play. It's very simple. Except for him, no one else in the men's basketball team has this strength. .”

Yao Ming knew that what Jonas said was right. Mo Wen definitely had the ability to do this job well, but who could be happy when he heard this?
Mo Wen, as the main force of the Pistons, won the championship this year, and his domestic reputation almost surpassed that of Yao. Now when he mentions basketball, it is either Dayao or "Brother Mo". I don't know who else is in the men's basketball team!

Dayao originally thought that his teammates would redouble their efforts to train in this envious mood, but what he didn't expect was that, except for a few young people who had a good relationship with him, those old players in the team were getting more and more slack every day.

He could already imagine what kind of test Mo Wen would face after returning to the team. As for Mo Wen's somewhat unscrupulous character, he might really be able to make big news.

······
In Heat's office, Pat Riley, who had just hung up the phone, picked up the cigar leaning on the ashtray.

The back of the suit, the straight nose bridge and slightly frowned brows, against the background of the dim light and the smoke from the cigar, make his figure look extraordinarily deep, just like the godfather in the movie,

Pat Riley is thinking about a gamble that will affect the team in the next 5 or even 10 years. Trading O'Neal is a gamble. The two-year contract of nearly 2 million will occupy most of the Heat's salary space, but this time After the big gamble, the Heat can still have a little property left.

And if there is another gamble, then the Heat may really have nothing left except Wade.

knock --

His deputy Randy opened the door and came in, sat in front of him, and reported the results of his communication.

"The kid's agent said they would only accept a 2+1 contract with a two-way option for the final year."

"There is another news. His agent said that a sneaker manufacturer has already offered him an offer of nearly [-] million yuan a year, and he will sign it after the Olympics."

Pat Riley tapped the table with his fingers, showing a relieved smile.

"It's really confident, but I like it."

"Notify Dumas that the transaction remains as usual, let him submit the application together."

On the other side, in Detroit, Dumars, who received a fax of the Heat's official transaction, also showed a smug smile.

Butler is the player named by the Lakers manager. Without him, it would be even more difficult for the Heat to trade O'Neal.

Without O'Neal's Heat, it's okay to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference, but the Eastern Conference Finals is basically impossible.

But what Dumars didn't know was that after Dumars submitted a trade application to the league, another fax came to the Raptors general manager's desk.

At eleven o'clock in the night, Mo Wen's phone rang again because of some force majeure.

"You are very popular. It's so late, which chick is asking you out again."

"Wait, don't move yet."

"Cut, I don't!"

"Hiss... Falk"

Mo Wen happily answered the phone happily.

"Hey Mo, congratulations, you're going to play in Miami!"

Before Mo Wen could reply, someone who was moving around nearby came over and made some strange noises on the phone.

"Uh...forgive me, I didn't know who to congratulate for a while."

"Steve?"

Catherine seemed to hear a familiar voice.

Mo Wen hung up the phone quickly to avoid the embarrassing continuation.

"It seems...it's him."

"Fake, give me the phone, I want to send him a text message. If he dares to say a word to others, even if he escapes to Europa, I will kill him!"

"Why, still refuse to admit it?"

"Admit what?"

"Admit your heart!"

"No, I said it, it's just research!"

Mo Wen threw the phone aside, determined to torture the shrew out of her true nature.
