The Zen master looked at Mo Wen, who was advancing and retreating freely on the field, and had an indescribable strange feeling.

He's been in the NBA for decades, and he's seen far too many rookie talents, from championship player to championship coach — the ball quotient of Larry Bird and Magic, the fancy skills of Isaiah and Iverson, the mature style of play of Olajuwon and Duncan.

But there has never been a rookie who has possessed three precious qualities at the same time as Mo Wen.

He didn't know how many times he had seen it in the second quarter, and Mo Wen only used a few smooth feints and skillful passing techniques to shake Devin George clean; I don't know how many times I saw it, Mo Wen used tricky positions to block the passing route of the ball-holding player while participating in the joint defense.

For a moment, he felt like Mo Wen even looked a bit like a big Peyton - mediocre in body, but mature in both brain and hand work.

"Jimmy, help me collect the Asian information and the game video, the more detailed the better." The Zen master instructed the teaching assistant beside him.

He was very interested in this kid who had been hidden by the Pistons for half a season and had only recently made a name for himself.

And the Lakers players who were still resting on the sidelines were also discussing.

"What, this kid is the Pistons' rookie this year?" Peyton asked, staring at him in astonishment.

Luke Wharton nodded, slightly embarrassed, and said, "The last rookie of the year." ”

As a rookie at the top of the second round, Wharton is also of average physical fitness, relying on ball quotient to play, but under the backdrop of Mo Wen, he feels like a full parallel import.

"Why, I didn't think that the guy who stole himself twice in the first half turned out to be just a rookie?" Ma Long, who was also resting next to him, teased.

"Huh? You're embarrassed to say that I didn't get a rebound from this kid in the first quarter? Peyton didn't scare anyone on the cannon, he picked up his shirt as he spoke, pointing to the scratches on his back.

"See this, it's not that I didn't get the ball well, look at this kid's black hands, it's not much cleaner than that old guy you did in Salt Lake City."

Although Malone's "golden partner" at the Jazz, Stockton, is known for his terrifying assist counts, his contemporaries have little respect for the media-acclaimed star, because those who have played against him know how dirty this guy is to play.

In the "dirty ratio" ranking among NBA players, Stockton ranks even higher than Malone.

Stockton's confrontation ability is inadequate, and in order to cover up his flaws, he is full of small moves on both offensive and defensive ends - stepping on his feet to pull people, flying knees on his back, and hitting people when he can't hit the ball. But the referee also gave this bastard whistle, and he didn't blow it when he saw it.

If Malone is a rickety mud truck, then Stockton is a sprinkler truck on the way to work in the early morning, which is not small and insulting.

John (Stockton) ... Well, John also started to use some 'privileges' after becoming famous, but that Chinese is just a rookie, so too wanton messing around, it is really uneducated. ”

Ma Long thought about it and couldn't find an angle to defend his friends, everyone used to be opponents, who didn't know who, so he could only surround Wei to save Zhao and shift the topic to Mo Wen on the field.

Just now, Ma Long was also harassed a few times by Mo Wen's small actions when he was helping to defend, stepping on his feet, hitting his shoulders, and even being elbowed in a scramble for rebounds. But he forgot that in the first quarter, he pushed Mo Wen with his elbow first, but he didn't remember, he just felt that this young man was a little rampant and didn't talk about martial arts.

"You can be careful, this kid doesn't look like the kind of bully who is easy to bully, don't put yourself in it at your age." Peyton understood the meaning of Malone's words and reminded him not to go too far.

"Don't worry, I know it myself." Malone said disappreciatively.

On the field, Mo Wen was quite embarrassed under Kobe's pursuit.

Kobe Bryant has the same talent on the defensive end as he does on the offensive end, unlike Bowen, who relied on the black foot to make the All-Defensive Team. Bryant, like Artest, is a true and consummate perimeter defender who combines talent, skill and experience.

The physical impact and sweat blended again and again made the fans in Los Angeles excited.

"It's over, kid, it's time for your show!" Kobe Bryant grinned and said to Mo Wen in a fierce tone.

"Really? I don't believe it. Mo Wen took a step away from the ball, lowered his body and did not give up.

The two balls he shot just now were defended by Kobe, but he still showed a head iron at the moment.

made a blocking gesture with Oku on the field, and then Mo Wen moved straight in the direction of Oku.

Not surprisingly, Mo Wen was intercepted by Kobe Bryant before he could break through the inside line.

Just when Kobe Bryant wanted to taunt Mo Wen again, Mo Wen actually threw the ball over with an outrageous hook gesture.

BOOM!

By the time Kobe Bryant put down his distracting hand and turned back, Oku, who had just cut into the inside, had already swung twice from the basket to complete the landing.

"You know, RIP is a lot better than you when it comes to offensive options and team-mates?" Mo Wen, who received an assist, put down a taunt and turned his head away.

"You ·······"

"Don't refute it, this little imp seems to be right." O'Neal, who had just been substituted, grinned and echoed beside him.

"Shut up, fatty, you still have the face to taunt me when your basket was dunked by someone else?" Kobe Bryant gritted his teeth and threw a death squint to Ao Fat, and ran to the front court with a sullen breath.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant wanted the ball to get back to the court, but Fisher hesitated a little, and the Zen master just told him to pass the ball more to O'Neal.

O'Neal has just recovered from injury, and his playing time is strictly controlled, if O'Neal is allowed to play just to watch Kobe Bryant run back and forth with the ball, and only do the work of grabbing rebounds and attacking twice, it will undoubtedly be a waste of O'Neal's physical strength.

However, O'Neal's 2-of-1 form in the first two rounds was not very good, and he finally passed to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant, who got the ball, put on an expression of wanting to tear Mo Wen apart, and began to mumble in his mouth, Kobe Bryant also had a strong desire to win in the verbal confrontation.

But Mo Wen, who had already developed a pair of "selective deaf" ears in the copy, just looked at Kobe Bryant there with an indifferent face.

Seeing that Kobe Bryant didn't attack for a while, he also took a step back and crossed his waist.

I'll just watch you beep silently.

Kobe, who was halfway through the cruel words, looked at Mo Wen's posture of forking his waist and defending, and his anger suddenly rushed to Tianlinggai.

This is the real "e→motion→al dama→ge! (Psychic Attack)

Standing outside the three-point line and being let go, Kobe hesitated for a moment and did not shoot three points directly, he didn't feel good in 2 of the previous 7 shots, but chose a more secure breakthrough, kicked the ground to accelerate, crossed his hands, leaned like an NBA logo, and drew an arc to break through the inside.

Mo Wen squeezed Kobe Bryant to confront, and then under the basket and Rashid, who came over to help defend, constantly interfered with Kobe.

Faced with two people under the basket, Kobe Bryant didn't choose to pass the ball, but threw the ball up with a handsome-looking lever.

The ball bounced twice on the basket and still landed in the frame.

Kobe Bryant, who scored the goal, was very excited, and just wanted to yell at Mo Wen, but he didn't expect Mo Wen to take the lead.

"Look at Shaq, Kobe Bryant is much more reliable than you in the low post."

Kobe Bryant was directly choked, why was he not happy when he was admitted by his opponent?

"Fu*k, shut up, little ghost, I'll smash your baskets in a moment." Shaq, who had followed Bai Run, spat and scolded, this time it was his turn to glare at Kobe.

O'Neal doesn't care about Mo Wen's obvious arch fire, anyway, the contradictions between him and Kobe Bryant have been made public, but the inexplicable lying gun makes him very unhappy, this game is not efficient under the Pistons' double interior defense, and it was originally a belly fire.

When he came on as a substitute, he thought he could easily brush up a few points, but he only received the ball twice in three minutes.

Mo Wen then played two more rounds with Kobe Bryant on the outside, but he didn't find a chance to shoot, all of them were assists to his teammates, Kobe Bryant was extremely aggressive on the defensive end, especially in defending a ball-handler like him who was not very confrontational.

In a few games in the 08 Olympics, Kobe Bryant often prevented the opposing team's point guard from the three-point line.

Fortunately, O'Neal, who was provoked by Mo Wen just now, began to ask for the ball with emotion on the offensive end. After all, O'Neal is still the boss of the Lakers during this period, and the Zen master outside the court also began to intervene, and Fisher could only pass the ball obediently.

Without waiting for Kobe Bryant to snatch the ball back from O'Neal, the time of the second quarter came to an end.

Thanks to Mo Wen's performance in the second quarter, the Pistons chased back some points, and the Lakers 49:48 Pistons at halftime. The difference between the two teams is now one point.

Mo Wen shot 8-of-12 in the first half (1-of-2 in the first quarter), scoring a game-high 16 points, as well as 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals.

"Amazing, that Chinese kid rules the bench time!"

Barkley said happily in the studio.

"It's 16 minutes, hahahaha, Kenny, do you want me to loosen your belt for you?"

"I think you'd better make sure you're not wearing panties today, and the Lakers won't give this kid another chance to score easily, just like in the first quarter, he's likely to miss a point in the next place." Kenny Smith's ass is soft, but his mouth is still hard.

But what happened next really seemed to be following Kenny Smith's script.

From the third quarter onwards, the defensive intensity of the two teams that had re-entered the starting lineup returned to the first quarter.

Mo Wen continued to rest in the first half of the third quarter, and after coming on the court in the second half, he never got a chance to play.

All four of the Lakers' stars have been on the All-Defensive Team and can do well on their own as long as they have the right attitude.

Under the Lakers' deliberate targeting, Mo Wen couldn't continue to play the effect of the second quarter on Devin George, and Larry Brown didn't allow the players to play on their own when the situation became more and more stalemate.

However, the Pistons also played to their advantage with a younger lineup.

Rashid's athleticism has not yet deteriorated at the age of 30, Hamilton, who is better rested, also has more physical strength, coupled with Billups's "bold and conservative" playmaking passing, the Pistons continue to mobilize the physical strength of the Lakers' interior and outside stars on the defensive end with high blocking.

The Lakers' two interior stars were able to keep up at first, but by the end of the third quarter, there was a faint feeling that they couldn't hold on.

In the fourth quarter, both teams did not make substitutions, and they were still all starting lineups, and at the critical moment, the two academy veterans sacrificed the same move "Dead Force".

Jackson didn't want to let Malone and O'Neal take a break, but the situation didn't allow it, the Pistons' interior joint defense was too good, and in the case that the Lakers didn't have a reliable outside shooter, the interior deterrence was insufficient, and the offense couldn't be launched.

Kobe and Payton's shooting percentages from the outside are ugly, Hamilton knows very well how to defend will make Kobe uncomfortable, and Billups still used Payton as a model to learn from when he first entered the league.

When Mo Wen made a defensive foul on Malone with an old Baijing "arm swing loop" on the inside, Kenny Smith was desperate, but the accident happened.

The team fell into a disadvantage, Ma Long was already very unhappy, and was overshadowed by Mo Wen, and he was not convinced, so he deliberately gave Mo Wen an elbow with an elbow when he passed by Mo Wen.

Mo Wen, who was almost elbowed, pulled the aware Daben and scored a goal very calmly.

Then, when everyone was relaxed, he jumped with the ball in both hands, aimed at Ma Long's pointed big bald head and smashed it down.
