basketball never sleeps

Chapter 54 Three bottles are not enough, five bottles are not many

The group draw for the Athens Olympic Men's Basketball Team was determined in November 03.

Group A has China, New Zealand, Spain, Argentina, Serbia and Montenegro, and Italy;
Group B has the United States, Australia, Lithuania, Puerto Rico, Angola and host Greece.

Except for the warm-up match, the Chinese men's basketball team can only meet the dream team in the quarterfinals, so for the dream team's invitational match, Harris agreed without much hesitation.

Mo Wen could probably guess the dream team or Larry Brown's careful thinking, but he didn't mention his grievances with Larry Brown to the coaching staff.

Some people in the men's basketball team are not in the right state. Although Dayao has mentioned it to him many times before, and he vaguely remembers some things that happened in history, the atmosphere in his team and the usual training environment still make him feel uncomfortable. It's annoying, it's good to have a high-intensity confrontation to stimulate their blood.

In late July, Larry Brown brought his dream team, which he had been practicing for more than half a month, to Los Angeles, planning to play a few exciting friendly matches with several teams that had finished participating in the summer league.

"Oh, my dear Coach Larry, long time no see, I miss you so much!"

On the field, just as the Chinese team and the Ugly National Team met, Mo Wen approached Larry Brown "excitedly" and gave him a big hug.

Larry Brown was careless and didn't dodge, and was once again locked up by Mo Wen's strong man, locking him up for real.

"Bastard... bastard... loose... let go!"

Before letting go of Larry Brown, Mo Wen gave him two big slaps on the back affectionately. This "among the players" way of greeting directly stunned the Dream Six players behind.

The bus next to him was also hugging Popovich, but the two were much more relaxed and harmonious.

Seeing this contrast, Iverson paused, as if he understood something, he almost burst out laughing.

This Chinese is a bit interesting.

"Cough...cough, you are no longer my player, stop pretending here!"

Larry Brown, who broke free from Mo Wen's embrace, said viciously in a low voice while straightening his tie.

"You can only play tricks in this way. It's a pity that I didn't recognize your true face earlier, and let you enjoy the honor you shouldn't have."

"If you say that, I'm so sorry. I thought the night of winning the championship would be a good memory for us together."

Although Mo Wen was still smiling, his stern and stiff facial muscles had already shown his attitude.

"See you on the field, bastard, let your Heat teammates see if you are worth the price!"

Larry Brown didn't lower his voice, but yelled out loudly, and Larry Brown, who turned around, gave Wade a glare, making the big cheek gang a little confused.

Harris and Jonas, who wanted to come up to me, were awkwardly in place. They clearly watched Mo Wen and Larry Brown were performing the touching scene of "the reunion of master and apprentice" a second ago, so why did it come in the next second? What about Larry Brown's rant?

"Isn't that kid your player?" Popovich asked quietly behind Larry Brown.

"No, he's not my player, he's a brute, bastard, hot chicken!"

Mo Wen didn't say it was okay, but Larry Brown trembled angrily when he mentioned the night of winning the championship.

The physical torture is nothing more than that, the picture of him crying and blowing snot bubbles has become his nightmare these days.

Another newspaper commented on this photo. This is the [-] most classic photos in sports history.

If he didn't want to lead the Dream Six team to the Olympics, he really wanted to sue the newspapers and websites that quoted the picture one by one.

Popovich, who has always regarded himself as an apprentice and is close to Larry Brown's private teacher, seems to understand something.

On the night he won the championship, he called to congratulate him, and Larry Brown on the other end of the phone was not in a very high mood.He originally thought that Larry Brown was exhausted after being relieved, but now it seems that there is something else hidden.

Popovich subconsciously wanted to find someone to "arrange" for Mo Wen, but he glanced at the dream team in front of him, and the only "his man" was Deng Dumber. You can let them play the rest, do it. Anything else is enough.

After thinking about it, he waved to Marbury and Jefferson.

"The two of you will start in a while, and you should focus on taking care of the Chinese team's Mo, I said 'take care', understand?"

Marbury nodded half-understood, but Richard Jefferson scratched his head uneasily and showed a slightly embarrassed smile.

What's going on, I didn't offend Bobo, did I?Why did he want me to die? !

He was someone who had fought against Mo Wen in real life, so it was fine if he didn't get bullied by Mo Wen on the court, he wanted to "take care" of Mo Wen - three bottles were not enough, five bottles were not many.

At the beginning of the game, the ugly country team sent Marbury, Iverson, Jefferson, Duncan and Stoudemire to the starting lineup, while the Chinese team played with Liu Wei, Mo Wen, Li Nan, Mo Ke and Yao Ming.

The referee is from Ugly Country, and the venue is also an NBA venue, so the game was not judged in full accordance with FIBA ​​rules, so the Dream Six team played quite freely at this time.

The Chinese team held their breath at the beginning and only lasted for half a quarter before falling into a passive position. Both Mo Wen and Dayao were able to score efficiently on the offensive end, while the others slowly "suffocated" in the presence of this group of NBA players. among talents.

Harris watched Liu Wei dribble a bit uncomfortable under the pressure of Iverson and Marbury, so he gave Mo Wen the task of holding the ball, and at the same time replaced "Zhu Ba" and let Mo Wen play the 1st position.

Although Mo Wen has intentionally trained Liu Wei and Guo Shiqiang's ball-handling ability during training, it seems that they still have to continue to practice.

Of course, the problem of the men’s basketball team is not limited to the possession of the ball. Their confrontation ability and various skills are also far behind the Ugly Team. Many times, Mo Wen and Dayao helped their teammates make shots, but they just missed. This is really unsolvable.

In the first quarter, the two teams failed to open the score thanks to Larry Brown.

He blamed the talent of this group of players whose athletic ability can crush the Chinese team. He was limited to playing positional battles, and he also learned from the Pistons, picking shots as close to the basket as possible.

Iverson and Marbury have the intention to resist, but their three-pointers are more accurate when they are open, but their shooting percentages are terrible when there is a stick in front.

The players of the Dream Team Six originally thought that the Chinese team was just an appetizer, that they could easily clean up like their predecessors and slaughter existences at will, but they didn't expect the game to be awkward.

Mo Wen behaved like a large offensive enhanced version of Kidd in the Chinese team. On the offensive end, he relied on his height and weight to run over Marbury or Iverson at will, but if Jefferson was replaced by defense , Mo Wen also has a height advantage in passing the ball to Zhu Ba and Li Nan.Coupled with Dayao's offensive ability in the interior, after the first quarter, the Ugly team only led by 2 points.

In the second quarter, under the suggestion of Roy, another assistant coach of the Dream Team, the Ugly Team began to use a deeper bench to compete with the Chinese team.

Mo Wen, on the other hand, was the same as the Lakers in the previous finals. He couldn't find Dayao inside, so he played by himself and was the only force.

His singles efficiency is really higher than the shooting percentage of his point guard teammates.

There were a few times when Jefferson wanted to play dirty with Mo Wen, and Mo Wen noticed it before he finished the action, and after giving him a few "hard" times, the little brother became interested.

Mo Wen led the Chinese team to once lead the ugly country team, that is to say, Iverson started to go crazy after falling behind, frequently broke through in singles, continued to shoot in the middle distance and hit a few times with Deng Dudu, otherwise, after halftime The Chinese team may still maintain the lead.

Wade off the court suddenly had a bad feeling watching Mo Wen play.

As far as Mo Wen's field control ability and technical level are currently better than Odom's, then whose surname will the Heat play in the future?

Larry Brown is very uncomfortable on the sidelines. How can it be so hard to fight against the Chinese team and the hot chicken he despises?

Both Bobo and Zoe found their striker problems, and Jefferson's defensive effect on Mo Wen was not good. In addition to Jefferson, the only orthodox small forwards in the Dream Six team were James and Anthony, two rookies.

In the second half, under the persuasion of the crowd, Larry Brown pointed his finger at the corner of the rookies

"James, prepare yourself to replace Richard and use your talent to fight more, understand?"

James nodded a little excitedly, finally being able to play, it's not easy.

Under the envious eyes of the friends, James replaced Jefferson, who was already a little numb, in the second half.

Seeing the "old man" standing in front of him, Mo Wen grinned.

10 seconds later, James, who was elbowed to the ground, opened the ceiling of the stadium and began to doubt his life.

Didn't I come up to play?
