Chapter Eighty-Six: Uncle Pi's Attack

After beating the Nuggets, the Suns rushed to New Orleans, where they defeated the Pelicans again to make it seven straight wins in the regular season, and Li Mojie also won the Rookie of the Week and Western Conference Player of the Year honors again.

"The Suns have won seven in a row, the first record in the West!"

"Look at the top of the western list now, who will talk about things?"

"The biggest dark horse of the season - the Phoenix Suns."

"The strongest champion show in the past ten years is the Chinese champion Mo Jie - Li."

But just when the media was frantically touting, at the home of the Portland Trail Blazers - Moda Center Arena, the Suns ushered in their first defeat of the season, the Trail Blazers relied on solid defense and Lillard's stunner, the score was 90:89, giving the Suns their first defeat of the season.

Before it was too late, the Suns rushed to the Big Apple in New York, where they were going to fight the Brooklyn Pensioners, oh no, the Brooklyn Nets.

The Brooklyn Nets, formerly known as the New Jersey Nets, did not win a championship after joining the NBA in 1976, but finished first in the Eastern Conference in 2001-02 and 2002-03, respectively. In 2004 the team was sold to Bruce Ratner, and in May 2010, Russian businessman Mikhail Prokhorov officially bought the Nets for $200 million. After acquiring the Nets, he worked hard to make a big splash in the NBA and lead the Nets to become a league powerhouse. The Russian, who doesn't understand basketball, hired former Philadelphia 76ers general manager Billie King as the team's general manager and embarked on a series of jaw-dropping stupid trades.

In the summer of 2013, the Celtics led by Garnett and Pierce seemed to be unable to go any further, and the departure of head coach Rivers announced a rebuild of the team. So Nets manager Billy King used Wallace, Humphries and other players to take advantage of the three-year first-round unprotected draft picks in 2014, 2016 and 2018 to trade from the Celtics for then 37-year-old Garnett, 35-year-old Pierce and 36-year-old Terry.

The most ridiculous thing is that there is another clause attached to the deal: the Celtics have the right to decide whether to trade the 2017 first-round pick with the Nets. The meaning of this add-on is that in 2017, if the Celtics have a higher signing than the Nets, the Celtics will keep it for themselves. If the pick is lower than the Nets, then the Celtics will swap with the Nets. It's a sure-fire exchange for the Celtics. If nothing else, the Nets' first round pick in 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018 was in the hands of the Celtics.

After the trade, the Nets also excitedly cheered that they had formed a Big Four lineup of DeLong, Joe Johnson, Garnett, and Pierce, which was enough to counter Miami's Big Three lineup. The next thing is also clear to everyone, in Li Mojie's previous life, the Nets' best record was only a second-round tour, and then they fell into the abyss and couldn't extricate themselves, and the iron abacus Danny Ange quickly let the Celtics complete the rebuild with this deal, and in the 2016-2017 season, he won the first regular season record in the East and also had the top pick from the Nets. Oddly enough, until the year when Jeffrey Lee crossed the country, Billy King was still sitting firmly in the position of general manager of the Nets.

Mikhail Prokhorov, who is also Russian, should really learn from another businessman, Abramovich.

Barclays Center, "Major, look at Pierce, Garnett, oh my God! Gobert, who had never seen the world, excitedly shouted in Li Mojie's ear.

"I see, you're going to play with them later, what's exciting?" Li Mojie glanced at Goebel and said flatly. Since playing against Durant, Li Mojie has been able to treat the star players he often saw on TV in his previous life with a normal heart.

Celtics starting five: PG: Deron Williams (6'3"), SG: Joe Johnson (6'7"), SF: Paul Pierce (6'7"), PF: Kevin Garnett (7'1"), C: Robin Lopez (7'7")

Suns starting five: PG: Eric Bledsoe (6'1"), SG: Chris Middleton (6'7"), SF MajorLee (6'8"), PF: Channingfrye (6'11), C: Rudy Gobert (7'1")

Because Channingfrye has proved with his performance in the first few games that he is not suitable for playing center, and the Suns are very short of people at the center position, so they have to rush to the shelves early and let Gobert start early.

"Beep." At the start of the game, Gobert, who was once again the starter, was very excited, facing the standard floor flow Lopez, and won the toss with his amazing arm span with a slight jump.

Bledsoe burst in the face of the Nets' appointed team boss Deron Williams with a change of direction, the experienced Garnett made up for the defense in time, Bledsoe did not force it, and threw it to Channing Frye, who was out of the line, Frye made a three-point shot and missed it, but Gobert grabbed the rebound against Lopez and immediately passed it to Li Mojie, who made a three-point shot from the outside. "Huh!" The ball obediently falls into the net bag.

Hornacek on the sidelines nodded, this is Li Mojie's talent stronger than others, although Li Mojie's core strength, arm and torso strength is very strong, but it does not affect his ability to practice the league's top shooting, inherited from the soft wrist of the yellow father, so that he has the potential to become the league's top pitcher, coupled with his high-ball quotient overall view, magic passing, black top athleticism, all of which constitute the talented Li Mojie, which is also the reason why the Suns have invested heavily in Li Mojie.

"Well done!"

"Awesome, Mojie!"

The Chinese community in Brooklyn, New York is the fastest growing area in New York City, with more than 400,000 Chinese in New York, and Brooklyn accounts for 130,000, so there are a lot of Chinese fans holding Li Mojie signs and wearing Li Mojie Suns No. 22 jerseys today. There are not many fans of the Nets in the first place, and with so many Chinese fans here, it looks like the home court of the Suns.

"Rookie, you have so many fans!" Pierce fell to the position to hold the ball, and Lee Mojie defended. Pierce said with a look of jealousy, Pierce has never had many fans in the United States, and many people don't like his kind of old-fashioned slow style of play that is formed as soon as he enters the league, so in terms of personal honors, Pierce is lackluster compared to other superstars.

"Oh, it's okay." Damn, why is this old guy still so strong! Li Mojie opened his arms, gritted his teeth, and focused on holding the ball against Pierce's back.

"I heard you're learning my offensive skills?" Pierce suddenly said something cold.

Yes, but Li Mojie did not speak, because he felt that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would lose.

Pierce leaned back a few times, slowly turned to the left, Li Mojie was immediately fooled, and then Uncle Pi quickly pulled back, turned to the right and retreated to the jumper. Li Mojie ate a foul, and the defensive action did not dare to be too big, which was enough to cover Pierce's eyes. Without much confrontation with the shot, Pierce dialed it out with his feelings and hit! 2:3 Pierce's step-back jumper after turning will also be able to jump higher than Li Mojie, and the angle of the straight arm is also greater.

“O! , a counterattack from the old guys! Since this year's Nets formed a star-studded Big Four lineup, and the Suns have become the biggest dark horse this year, TNT chose to broadcast this game live, sending a combination of old partners Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, and also invited Nets legend Buck Williams.

"It is said that before Li Mojie's draft, many people said that his template was Pierce + Pippen?" Buck Williams asked curiously, retiring for many years.

"Yes, I remember this is the evaluation given by Fox Sports!" Kenny Smith recalled the sermon.

"How do I remember someone saying he's the poor man's version of James?" Barkley smiled.

"That's what you think? Charles, aren't you a Suns celebrity? Buck Williams wondered, this dead fat man is not in the right position, obviously I am on the opposite side of the Suns in this game!

"Oh, no, no, no, I think he's going to be a lot better than that James who went to the Heat! Even though James won the championship, I still say that. "Ba Fat Man is the number one Zhan Hei.

The Suns attacked, Bledsoe hit a pull-up jumper, Garnett picked up the rebound with his seasoned positional experience, and then taunted Gobert, who almost grabbed the rebound: "You rookie, this is my territory, understand?" ”

Gobert blackened his face and didn't say a word, this bastard is so hateful that his saliva spurts straight into your face.
