Chapter 59, it's very simple, it's to give the ball to the strongest person!
In this bronze medal battle, Mo Wen shot 11 of 23, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, 31 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and Da Yao shot 11 of 19 and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 26 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks.
The third best performance in the team is Li Nan, he made clear his positioning after the ugly country practiced, that is, the 3D in Mo Wen's mouth, usually practiced catching and shooting and fixed-point three-point shooting in the team's training, and all 9 shots in this game were three-pointers, 9 shots and 4 shots, and scored 12 points.
Zhu Fangyu's current three-point stability is still poor, but he also scored 8 points in this game by relying on an empty cut.
Other players such as UAE, Moko, Liu Wei, and Du Feng also have a few points in the account.
The original intention of the men's basketball team was to train at the beginning, but when it was time to compete for honors later, the training could only be put aside.
On the podium, they hung bronze medals on their chests, and when they watched the national flag slowly rise in front of them, Mo Wen, who had always been indifferent and calm, couldn't help but be moved.
The Pistons were also excited and excited when they won the Finals, but the joy he had from winning the championship hadn't even seen Larry Brown being thrown to the ground and crying in front of the camera.
Because he already knew the ending, and there wasn't much suspense throughout the series.
But today's achievements are all made by him and Da Yao, the joy of the harvest, the pride that broke the original history, and his soul trembled comfortably.
The athletes in front of the camera can still remain indifferent for the sake of their image, and they can't be quiet when they enter China late at night.
Once again, the bombing of buildings occurred from all over the country, and even though it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, excited people rushed to the joints and celebrated loudly.
Blowing trumpets, singing, setting off firecrackers and fireworks, playing drunk, the neighbors who were woken up last time were prepared this time, and most of them also watched the game today, although they didn't quite understand how the basketball was played, but they also knew that the Chinese team won the United States, and listening to the crying and shouting in front of the TV, they also knew that the young men in red clothes had done a great thing.
Mo Wen's "low-key" dad customized a firecracker that was 5 miles long, contacted the traffic police in their county to close the road, and coiled four lines from one end of the local commercial street to the other, so that the firecrackers ran back and forth for 2 times.
"Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, I didn't expect that playing basketball really made this little calf famous, too, this kid's temper is with me, when the labor and management were fighting the Yankees in Baekje, it was also this momentum, hey, the horseman, this kid really gave his grandfather a long face."
"Dad, I remember that you didn't say before that Ah Wen had a ball for playing?" Mo Wen his father Mo Jianhe poked his head over and said.
"Get out, you stinky boy, if you have half of your son's spirit, you won't stay in this small county town all the time!"
"How can you say that, it wasn't what you said it was in the first place..." Seeing the elderly father raise his crutches, Mo Jianhe decisively chose to shut up.
······
"How did you feel when you won the game against the Dream Team?" A Chinese reporter holds up a microphone and interviews Mo Wen.
After winning the game, Harris lifted the men's basketball hug order, and now almost every 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 Da Yao are the most, plus they both speak English, including some foreign reporters are also crowded in front of them at the moment.
"Think, it's like finding someone to pinch his thigh right now to determine if I'm dreaming, hahaha. Actually, everyone has their own story of struggle, and I'm lucky to have my own story without much struggle. ”
It's still a familiar taste! There were reporters at the scene on the night of the Pistons winning the championship, and listening to Mo Wen's familiar style of speech, he couldn't help but shake his eyelids.
"You and Italy, Argentina have broken the dominance of the U.S. team for men's basketball medals, do you have any thoughts on the strength of each team?" Another Chinese reporter next to him asked.
"This is actually nothing to say, Argentina we have played each other in the group stage, their strength is indeed strong, the championship is well deserved, the United States team is actually not weak, but their luck is a little worse, the strength of the Chinese team is still weak in the semi-finals, and the United States team can win because everyone feels good, the whole team is united and persevering to the end... As for Italy, their strength is also good, especially with some other factors, absolutely world-class, I won't make any other comments. ”
Mo Wen pays attention to seeking truth from facts, not derogatory, not praised, impartial, and yin and yang.
"Are you laughing at the Dream Six when you didn't shoot in time for the last shot, but you looked at Coach Larry Brown and shrugged his shoulders defiantly and asked him to leave after the game?" 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 the time, I respect the American team, I don't want to give the American team a chance to create a miracle, and shrugging my shoulders, it's just relaxing my tense muscles before shooting, as for the last move towards Coach Brown, it's not to ask him to leave, but to invite him."
"You know BJ is going to have the Olympics in '08, so I'm sending out an invitation to Coach Larry Brown, if you don't believe him, you can ask him, I told him at the time."
"The strength of the Dream Six team is very strong, and if you pick out any of them, you won't 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 appointing players, like I have to sit on the bench for half a season before I can play, and Dak, I haven't 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 is nothing wrong with what Mo Wen said before, but the more he listened to Larry Brown later, the more he felt that something was wrong?
"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 this delisting, my goal is that in 08 we will stand on the podium completely by strength, of course, this is difficult, especially we still need more talents to support, such as the team of the United Arab Emirates, Fangyu them, and some domestic potential newcomers, let them exercise more in high-intensity leagues abroad, than in the country behind closed doors."
Mo Wen doesn't know how much weight he and Da Yao can talk about now, anyway, if the men's basketball team that has achieved such results doesn't want to lose face in 08, sending people out is a step that must be taken.
In terms of the intensity of the CBA league and the number of games, 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.
Retrofitting the CBA or NBL? This matter has to wait for him or Da Yao to retire, and their current status as Bai Ding can be framed heroes, and other things are difficult to do.
Mo Wen was still thinking about being as "humble" as possible, and the coaching staff of Da Yao and Harris next to him praised Mo Wen to the sky.
After a few rounds of games, under the backdrop of other "pit" teammates, Da Yao couldn't imagine the consequences of not being incredible, he was not afraid of playing with two or three people on the inside, but he was afraid that his outside teammates would be empty.
And not to mention the ball skills, just in terms of winning and losing and professional attitude, it is not necessarily more than Mo Wen to pack the other members of the Chinese team and double it again.
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 may not be integrated now.
Of course, Harris feels more deeply in this regard than Da Yao.
It's not like Harris hasn't seen unprofessional players in the NBA, but you have to have a prominent mental familiarity and physical attributes to be selected in the NBA, so when Mo Wen was training before he came back, he was very tired in the face of some old scalpers who took a step with a whip.
Fortunately, Mo Wen came and saved him from this quagmire.
"What is the secret of my coaching of the Chinese men's basketball team? It's as simple as handing the ball to the strongest one! ”
Da Yao is very strong, but in Harris's heart, Mo Wen has taken Da Yao's place, or in any case, men's hearts are changed.
The FIBA evaluated the best men's basketball team at the end - Da Yao, Garanda (Italy), Mo Wen, Ginobili, Iverson.
Originally, Iverson was not on the list, but in the end, it was for Stern's sake that the FIBA gave him a 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 approached Harris and hoped that he could negotiate the next formal contract with the Basketball Association.
Harris came to coach the men's basketball team and didn't receive a penny of salary, so he took 20,000 US dollars for travel expenses and accommodation subsidies, just this money, in order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the men's basketball team, Harris also paid bonuses out of his own pocket for the men's basketball players who performed well - of course, Mo Wen and Da Yao did not have it, and they couldn't look down on one or two hundred US dollars.
Mo Wen is not saying that Younas is bad, but Harris's soft and strong personality is actually more suitable for coaching the men's basketball team.
At least until it's on track, the big ball in China is not suitable for locals to coach.
Harris hesitated for a moment and agreed, originally in history he left a big reason because he hated iron and steel, and when the Chinese team was unheard, he could still see hope and feel the challenge.
At the pick-up ceremony of the Olympic athletes returning home, they got off the plane with the cheers of the gold medalists, holding flowers and spring breeze, and the silver medal sighed and followed closely, although the bronze medal was at the bottom, it was still possible to walk through the front hatch, and the men's basketball team that finally got off the plane also played the role of the finale, and they received more cheers than many gold medal athletes in front of them.
On the stairs, Da Yao waved his hands to both sides and patted Mo Wen's shoulder.
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, only to find that time is so precious.
is the main player of the NBA championship, and the bronze medalist of the men's basketball team, coupled with his handsome appearance and the height that is quite close to the people, Mo Wen is so popular in China, he can't imagine himself.
Fortunately, Da Yao and Liu Xiang helped him share the firepower, Rao was like this, and Mo Wen was still busy for more than a week.
Fortunately, it was Pat Riley who wanted to negotiate a contract with him and saved his dog's life.
Originally, Pat Riley was not so anxious, but as a result, Riley couldn't sit still a little because he played a drama of "sacrificing himself and entertaining the public" in the Cavaliers management.
Boozer is a second-round pick, signed a 3-year "2+1" contract (the first two years are guaranteed, the third year is the team option), the Cavaliers management in order to keep Boozer and express respect for Boozer, after some discussion with his agent, decided to interrupt Boozer's second-round pick contract, renew the contract early, and let Boozer get a big contract that matches his value earlier.
As a result, Boozer's second-round pick contract was just terminated by the Cavaliers, and the Jazz sent him a higher signing offer, and then Boozer didn't have any nostalgia and didn't look back, so he signed the contract with the Jazz decisively, and didn't even give the Cavaliers management a chance to match.
