basketball never sleeps

Chapter 59 It's very simple, just give the ball to the strongest person!
在这场铜牌之战中，莫闻23投11中，三分6中3，罚球7中6，爆砍31分7篮板7助攻2抢断1盖帽，大姚19投11中，罚球4中4，拿下26分12篮板3盖帽。

The third best performer in the team is Li Nan. After training in Chouguo, he has defined his position. They are 3D in Mo Wen's mouth. He usually practices catch and shoot and spot-up three-pointers in team training. All 9 times were three-pointers, 9 of 4 shots and 12 points.

Zhu Fangyu's current three-point stability is still not close, but he also scored 8 points in this game by relying on a one-handed air cut.

Other players such as Ah Lian, Mo Ke, Liu Wei, and Du Feng also scored some points in pieces.

The original intention of the men's basketball team was to train soldiers, but when it was time to compete for honors, the training had to be put aside.

On the podium, they hung bronze medals on their chests, and when watching the national flag rising slowly in front of them, Mo Wen, who has always been indifferent and calm, couldn't help being moved.

Mo Wen was also very excited and excited when the Pistons won the finals, but the joy that winning the championship gave him was more than seeing Larry Brown being thrown to the ground and crying in front of the camera.

Because he knew the ending a long time ago, and there is not much suspense throughout the whole series.

But today's achievements were all made by him and Dayao. The joy of harvest, the pride of breaking the original history, made his soul tremble with comfort.

The athletes in front of the camera can still keep calm for the sake of their image, but they can't keep quiet when they enter China in the middle of the night.

The behavior of bombing buildings happened again from all over the country. Even though it was eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, excited people rushed to the streets and celebrated loudly.

Those who played trumpets, sang, set off firecrackers and fireworks, and played drunk. The neighbors who were woken up last time were prepared this time. Most of them watched the game today, even though they didn’t quite understand the basketball. How it was played, but they also knew that the Chinese team had won against the United States. Listening to the cries of the commentary in front of the TV, they also knew that those boys in red clothes had done a great thing.

Mo Wen's "low-key" father ordered a 5-mile-long firecracker, contacted the traffic police in their county to seal the road, and coiled four lines from one end of the local commercial street to the other to make the firecrackers full I ran back and forth 2 times.

"360 lines, every line is the number one. I didn't expect that playing basketball would really make this little kid famous. That's right, this kid's temper will follow me when he was young. It was the same momentum when Lao-management played the Yankees in Baekje. , Hey, horse rider, this kid really looks good on his grandfather."

"Dad, I remember you said that Ah Wen has a purpose in playing basketball?" Mo Wen's father, Mo Jianhe, leaned over and said.

"Get out, you brat, if you have half the vigor of your son, you won't be stuck in this small county all the time!"

"How can you say that? It wasn't what you said at the beginning..." Seeing his elderly father raise his crutch, Mo Jianhe resolutely chose to shut up.

······
"How did you feel when you won the game against the Dream Team?" A Chinese reporter held a microphone and interviewed Mo Wen.

After winning the game, Harris canceled the gag order of the men's basketball team. Now almost every team member of the men's basketball team has at least three or four interviewers in front of them. Of course, the people surrounding Mo Wen and Dayao are the most. In addition, both of them can speak English, including some foreign reporters, who are crowded in front of them at the moment.

"What do you think, now I feel like asking someone to pinch his thigh to make sure if I'm dreaming, hahaha. In fact, everyone has their own struggle story. I am a lucky person. I didn't struggle much. have their own story."

Still a familiar taste!There were reporters on the night when the Pistons won the championship. Listening to Mo Wen's speech in a familiar style, they couldn't help shaking their eyelids.

"You, Italy, and Argentina have broken the U.S. team's domination of men's basketball medals. What do you think of the strength of each team?" asked another Chinese reporter next to him.

"Actually, there is nothing to say about this. We have played against Argentina in the group stage. Their strength is indeed strong, and the championship is well deserved. The US team is actually not weak, but their luck is a little bit worse. The strength of the Chinese team In the semi-finals, they are still weak, and they can win the US team because everyone feels good. The whole team is united and sticks to the end... As for Italy, their strength is also good, especially with some other factors, they are absolutely world-class , I will not make any other comments.”

Mo Wen pays attention to seeking truth from facts when speaking, neither derogatory nor praise, impartial, yin and yang.

"Excuse me, you didn't shoot the ball in time on the last ball, but looked at Coach Larry Brown, shrugged at him provocatively, and made the gesture of asking him to leave after the game, are you mocking the Dream Six team? ?” An American reporter who had been waiting for a long time was the first to speak.

"No, no, no, I think you must have misunderstood something. I didn't shoot in time because I was pressing time. I respect the US team and don't want to give the US team a chance to create a miracle. Shrugging, it's just relaxing me before shooting. The tense muscles, as for the final movement towards Coach Brown, it is not an invitation to leave the field, but an invitation to him."

"As you all know, BJ is about to hold the Olympic Games in 08, so I am sending an invitation to coach Larry Brown. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. I also told him at the time."

"The strength of the Dream Six team is very strong. If any one of them is picked out, they will not be weaker than me, but the training time is too short. You know, Coach Larry Brown is old, and there is an observation period when he appoints players. For example, I have to sit on the bench for half a season before I can play, and Dak has not had a stable playing time for a year, so I hope everyone will be more tolerant of the elderly and give him another chance."

Looking at Mo Wen with a sincere face, the American reporter rubbed his temples. There was nothing wrong with what Mo Wen said before, but when he talked about Larry Brown later, he felt that something was wrong the more he heard it?

"Do you have any goals for the 08 Olympics?" the Chinese reporter next to him seized the opportunity and hurriedly asked.

"If there is an element of luck in the delisting this time, my goal is that in 08 we will stand on the podium by relying entirely on strength. Ah Lian, Fang Yu and the others, as well as some domestic potential newcomers, let them practice more in high-intensity leagues abroad, rather than staying behind closed doors in China."

Mo Wen didn't know how much weight he and Dayao could have now. Anyway, if the men's basketball team that has already achieved such results doesn't want to lose face again in 08, sending them out is a necessary step.

As far as the intensity of the CBA league and the number of games are concerned, it is still far from the first-class sports league. Not to mention going to the NBA, it is not bad to come to Europe to exercise.

Transform CBA or NBL?This matter will have to wait for him or Dayao to retire. The two of them, as Bai Ding, can be framed heroes. Other things are difficult to deal with.

Mo Wen is still thinking about being as "modest" as possible, while the coaching staff of Dayao and Harris next to him are all boasting about Mo Wen.

After a few rounds of competition, under the background of other "competitive" teammates, Dayao couldn't imagine the consequences of not having Mo Wen. He was not afraid of playing with two or three players inside, but he was afraid that his teammates on the outside would be left open.

Not to mention the game skills, but only in terms of winning and losing attitude and professional attitude, if you pack up the other members of the Chinese team and do a super double, there may not be as many as Mo Wen alone.

Without Mo Wen reminding him to lose his temper, without Mo Wen's battle against the bus in the locker room, this men's basketball team might not be able to integrate now.

Of course, Harris has deeper feelings than Dayao in this regard.

It’s not that Harris hasn’t seen bad and unprofessional players in the NBA, but you have to have outstanding mental familiarity and physical attributes to be selected in the NBA, so when Mo Wen was training before he came back, he faced some old scalpers. The male basketball player who took a step with a whip was exhausted.

Fortunately, Mo Wen came and rescued him from this quagmire.

"What's my secret in coaching the Chinese men's basketball team? It's very simple, just give the ball to the strongest person!"

Dayao was very strong, but in Harris' heart, Mo Wen had taken Dayao's place, or how to put it, men's hearts were changed.

FIBA finally evaluates the best men's basketball team - Dayao, Garanda (Italy), Mo Wen, Ginobili, Iverson.

Originally, Iverson was not on the list, but in the end it was because of Stern's closeness that FIBA ​​gave him face.

At the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, Yao Ming and Ye Li showed their affection in front of the whole world, which became the last news in this Olympic Games.

On the plane, Mo Wen found Harris, hoping that he could negotiate a formal contract with the Basketball Association.

Harris came to coach the men's basketball team without receiving a single salary, so he took 2 dollars in travel expenses and board and lodging subsidies. For this money, Harris even paid out of his own pocket for the good performance of the men's basketball players. Bonuses - of course, Mo Wen and Dayao don't have them, and they don't like one or two hundred dollars.

Mo Wen is not saying that Jonas is not good, but that Harris's personality of being soft on the outside and strong on the inside is actually more suitable for coaching the men's basketball team. Defensive tactics.

At least before getting on the right track, domestic big ball sports are not suitable for locals to coach.

Harris hesitated for a moment, and agreed. Historically, a big reason for his departure was his hatred of iron and steel. With Mo Wen in the Chinese team, he can still see hope and feel challenged.

At the pick-up ceremony for the Olympic athletes returning home, the gold medalists got off the plane first with cheers, holding fresh flowers, and the silver medalists followed behind with a sigh. The men's basketball team who got off the plane also played the role of the finale. They received more cheers than many previous gold medalists.

On the stairs, Dayao patted Mo Wen on the shoulder while waving his hands to both sides.

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

……

Endless interviews, countless invitations.

Mo Wen, who originally wanted to be a waste at home for a few days, realized that time is so precious.

He is also the main force of the NBA championship, and he is also the hero of the men's basketball bronze medal. In addition, he is handsome and has a fairly affordable height. He can't even imagine how popular Mo Wen is in China.

Fortunately, Dayao and Liu Xiang helped him share the firepower. Even so, Mo Wen was still busy rushing to the scene for more than a week.

Fortunately, Pat Riley wanted to negotiate a contract with him and saved his life.

Originally, Pat Riley was not that anxious, but he played a "sacrifice himself, entertaining the public" drama in the Cavaliers management, which made Riley a little restless.

Boozer is a second-round pick and signed a 3-year "2+1" contract (guaranteed for the first two years, team option for the third year). In order to keep Boozer, the Cavaliers management expressed their respect for Boozer. Respect, after discussing with his agent, he decided to terminate Boozer's second-round pick contract and renew the contract in advance, so that Boozer can get a big contract that matches his worth earlier.

As a result, Boozer's second-round pick contract had just been terminated by the Cavaliers, and the Jazz sent him a higher signing offer. Signed that contract without even giving the Cavaliers management a chance to match.
