Chapter 66: Shooting Birds Indiscriminately
In the first game, Mo Wen's performance attracted the attention of many people, in this era when the data has not been depreciated, a triple-double of 20+ is definitely a great achievement.
Last season, only 20 players had a combined 36 triple-doubles, and all of them were All-Star caliber players, with the exception of Bob Sula.
"We've got the big sharks and Dwyan, there's no shortage of scorers, and Mo's performance is exactly what we need, the perfect guy."
"Riley made a good trade, and while Kaloon Butler has a lot of potential, there's no doubt that Mo is the one who is a better fit for us."
Looking at the local media commentator who praised himself on TV in Miami, Riley turned off the TV with a crooked face.
Not long ago, the commentator named Tom opened a column denouncing the trade he made in the summer for ruining the rising team, and as soon as the triple-double came out, he couldn't help but pick up Riley's stinky feet, which he raised.
Riley was satisfied with Mo Wen's performance on the pitch, but not entirely satisfied.
In particular, his frequent "forcible" assists to his teammates in the middle of the game is too unreasonable in Riley's opinion.
But this is still the first game, and Riley can still endure it.
······
The Heat's second regular-season game was on the road, and they were traveling to Atlanta to visit the Hawks, who had completed their "rebuild."
The Hawks traded Stephen Jackson, who was about to go to the Pacers' "Warriors," for Al Harrington, a sixth man who wanted more playing time.
He also used "Jet" Terry as the main body of the transaction, and exchanged "fathead" Antoine Walker from wanting to "marry" Carter's Mavericks.
Then, with the team having two good strikers, they drafted two "Josh" in the first round of this year's 6 and 17, Josh Childis and Josh Smith.
The most amazing thing is that these four people are all six feet nine inches tall. I don't know if the eagle listened to Riley's prediction of the "Five Divine Blades", or wanted to use the method of raising Gu to select a truly reliable star.
After coming on the court, the head coach of the Hawks, Woodson, an assistant coach at the Pistons last year, saw that Mo Wen wanted to hug him and hurriedly avoided it, but just reached out and simply shook Mo Wen, pretending to be really unfamiliar.
No way, Larry Brown's cruel words before, although he also knows the truth, but for the sake of maintaining his connections, he can only choose to stand with Larry Brown.
On the contrary, it was the "Fat Volute" who had only one side of the relationship in Billups's celebration party before, and Mo Wen hugged warmly twice.
Acquaintances are not necessarily friends, and strangers are not necessarily indifferent, this is the NBA.
"When you go on the court, you have to pay extra attention to the counterattacks of their frontline players, their interior and point guard defense are relatively weak, and try to find blocks to play them when attacking."
"If you hold the ball in the front court, it will be Mo and Wade, Mo you have to take on more organizational tasks in this game, and Damon (Jones) will be a temporary substitute, otherwise our height will suffer too much in grabbing the board."
Before the start of the game, Dafan still took the trouble to emphasize the content that had been repeated many times before.
While the Hawks also lost by 25 points to the seemingly "not very strong" Suns in their last game, neither the Fathead nor Al Harrington, who finished second on the Best Sixth Man last year, was an easy one.
In the not-so-enthusiastic arena atmosphere, the Hawks' blue-collar center Coral won the Heat's center Dolyak in the jump ball.
Kenny Anderson, a veteran of Walker's trade filler, pushed forward with the ball, looked at Wade, who was defending him, and gave the ball to the fat volute next to him.
Walker, a 2.06-meter black man, does not make good use of his body on the inside to occupy the basket, but likes to float to the outside to shoot three points wildly, making the coaches of this era very big, even the old Nelson who is a version ahead of him has wasted a season of time and proved that he can't control this big forward who wants to "four-pointer".
Woodson was new to the game, and there was no way to take this 15 million contract "with star", so he could only watch this fat boy who likes to play with a smooth back in front of Mo Wen, and then turned over and jumped outside the three-point line.
Mo Wenka jumped lightly in the main position, picked up the rebound, and smashed the ball straight to the front court without hesitation.
Anderson was still a flashy and explosive point guard when he was young, but unfortunately his bad luck and lack of self-discipline (party maniac) made him fall quickly after he was out of his prime, let alone hold Wade at the moment, and when he turned around, Wade was already two steps ahead of him.
Like a dog chasing a baseball, Wade picked up the basketball first, dribbled two steps, jumped two steps from the free throw line, bent his bow and smashed the basket, and slashed two points in anger.
"Xiao Mo's cooperation with his new teammates is really good, this player named Wade, this talent is also strong, not tall, but this dunk has a bit of Jordan's meaning." In the commentary room of Yang Ma, Director Zhang smacked his lips.
"Aren't you dunked at the free-throw line, why do you have to dribble? Short man! ”
Mo Wen laughed at Wade, who gave him one less assist.
In this era, scorekeepers don't want to be so sensible later, and one step of dribbling can barely be counted as an assist, and any more will not be counted.
"It's not that your pass is bad, if you pass a little better, I can dunk the three-point line for you!"
Wade said unconvinced, it's not that he doesn't want to add more assists to Mo Wen to take an extra step, one more step is completely for a more stable score, and there is absolutely no selfishness!
"What you said, you can deduct everyone at home, and if you can't deduct me, I'll call you a short man in the future!" Mo Wen glanced at Wade, he was the least afraid of being blown up by others, because his memory was super good.
"Fuck, you're not much longer than me, less proud!" Wade's cheeks stiffened, and he said not to be outdone.
"Are you sure?"
·····
The Eagles' offensive round, this time Anderson dealt the cards to Al Harrington.
Harrington was later developed by Nelson Sr. to make a three-point shot, becoming the top spatial interior at the time, but now his three-point practice is not much worse than Walker's "indiscriminate shooting", but it is not bad to have two points longer, and he can shoot about 42%.
At this moment, his singles against Haslem were also very difficult, shaking twice, bursting into his shooting hot zone in response to Haslem's interference and shooting.
Woodson on the sidelines sighed when he saw this scene, and the two big men of the Hawks were put on the Pistons, and it is estimated that they will now be sprayed by Larry Brown and sit firmly on the bench at the back of the game.
But the Eagles' game still depends on the two of them, and the other newcomers are even worse at scoring.
In this offensive round, Mo Wen didn't choose to launch a fast attack, and after falling into a positional battle, he pretended to find Haslem's block, and pulled back Walker in reverse.
Walker originally wanted to prove that he was not a defensive black hole, but his long-term defensive habits did not allow it, but fortunately, he also knew how to throw the pot, and seeing that Mo Wen had changed direction and pulled back, he didn't have time to return to defense, so he pushed Harrington next to him.
Mo Wen blocked and dismantled, go and change the defense.
Harrington didn't see anyone, but he still put on a posture and waited for Mo Wen.
But the sound of dribbling behind him gave him a feeling that something was wrong.
Eh, people, why haven't you waited so long and people haven't come?
By the time Harrington turned around, Mo Wen was already hanging from the basket.
Looking at the empty man in front of him and the fat man who was seriously defending Haslem, he seemed to understand something, and his black face turned red in an instant.
Woodson, on the other hand, covered his face, and although it was only 4:0, he couldn't help but call a timeout.
He doesn't feel like he's coaching a basketball team, he's coaching a circus!
