Watching Mo Wen slash the Raptors' defense on the court.

Fans on the sidelines began to shout sporadically "Babcock is out of class".

Raptors fans can't figure out how Babcock came up with the idea of using chips that can be exchanged for the talented Mo Wen in front of him to exchange for a high-paid veteran who is already in a declining period, and the most angry thing is that the veteran who has been exchanged for is still coming to be a substitute.

They can't figure out why Carter, who signed a long-term contract with the team with a high salary two years ago and declared that he wants to stay with the Raptors for the rest of his life, could be forced to make a deal by management in an offseason.

Mo Wen: "It's too soft, it's too soft, can you TM be harder, if you grow so tall, you will float on the outside to play, no wonder your draft pick is lower than Dwyan." ”

Bosh: "Bichi, if you have the ability, just buckle one on my head, don't talk if you can't do it, this clown who will only hide behind his teammates!" ”

Mo Wen: "Idiot, I didn't go in because my teammates' offensive range was on the inside, and you didn't go in because you were afraid of Shaq, coward!" ”

Bosh: "Farker, let's go it alone." ”

Looking at the two people who were talking trash to each other on the court, the players on the field all showed slightly embarrassed smiles.

The atmosphere of the game, which was supposed to be good, became like a training match in the trash talk between the two.

However, if you look at the form on the field, it does look like a training match.

Halfway through the third quarter, the score of the two teams has been stretched to 20 points.

In fact, in the first half of the game, when Mo Wen put the healthy Carter who was still in his prime, 2 of 8, he had lost the suspense.

Carter, who was already determined to play against the management with a negative game, started the road of swinging early, from 23+5+5 last season to 16+3+3 in the first ten games of this season.

And by the end of the game, Carter, who had played 30 minutes on the court, shot 3 of 10 and made no free throws, scoring only 6 points.

It's really scary.

It can't be said that he acted openly, at least after losing the game, Mo Wen didn't see the slightest unwillingness from Carter, and I have to say that Carter chose the most stupid way to force the palace.

······

While the Heat won the game easily, there was also a strong and weak game in New Jersey.

The Wizards' three musketeers easily won the game, and Mourning, who played 35 minutes as the Nets team, could only accept the fact that the team had lost seven consecutive games on the bench with resentment and helplessness.

"You could have avoided Alonzo." Jefferson, dressed in a suit, whispered to Mourning.

"Jason (Kidd) has two more games to come back, and your body..."

"My body is fine!" Mourning said in a resolute voice.

But when he finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.

He didn't want anyone to see the pain in his eyes.

Suffering, not physical illness, but mental torture.

Long before the kidney replacement, the doctor issued a "death notice" to his career, but Mourning did not give up, and before the operation anesthesia, he also begged the doctor:

"Please try to protect my body, I'm going to win the championship."

Mo Ning didn't believe in fate, because he was not the first to take the road of kidney replacement and comeback.

Sean Elliott reappeared on the field in '99 after having kidney replacement surgery and helped the Spurs win the championship that same year.

He wanted to replicate Elliott's path, but unfortunately, he picked the wrong team.

He signed a four-year contract with the Nets in the summer of '03, who had just lost the Finals, but who would have thought that the Nets would fall so quickly.

Counting this game, the Nets have lost 10 games this season, 1 win and 10 losses, and winning that game is still winning the newly established Bobcats.

This is not the most terrible, because the core of the Nets, Kidd and Jefferson, are both out of action due to injury, so the Nets' rot is actually expected by everyone.

The scary thing is that Kidd, the real heart of the Nets, already wants to go because of the team's inaction.

Kenyon Martin, who has the best fit with Kidd, was traded for three first-round picks by the team, and it is still far from clear whether Carter, who the team promised to trade, can come, and for a championship-chasing player, the Nets' behavior seems to be a waste of his precious prime.

Mourning has asked his agent to file a buyout request with the Nets' management team.

The general manager of the Nets agreed, but he did not fulfill the contract for a long time, but kept hanging him.

But Mourning didn't play badly or negatively, and still maintained a strong fighting spirit just like when he played with the Heat.

In the first few games, he dragged the patient's body as an iron man, and the playing time was never less than 30 minutes, and the most played time was even more than 40 minutes.

He only has one kidney, and he still has a cousin, and no one will blame him if he wants to paddle, or if he doesn't show up, no one will blame him, but Mourning's professionalism and fighting spirit don't allow him to mess up on the field, and he doesn't want to sit on the field in a suit like a sick coward.

He still plays as hard as he did when he was with the Heat, and he still has multiple injuries on his body like the Heat.

Returning home in the middle of the night, Mourning's wife, Tracy, looked at the lost Mourning and sighed.

She didn't want to persuade anything anymore, and Mo Ning's family and friends didn't know how many times they had persuaded him before he came back.

Before going to bed, Tracy, who was helping Mo Ning with a massage as usual, was full of hesitation.

She had a message in her hand, one that might be difficult for Morin to refuse, but she didn't want Morning to contact that person again and return to that place.

Mo Ning didn't notice his wife's strange appearance, and after chatting with his wife for a while, he stared at his wife's finger in a daze.

Or the ring on the wife's finger that symbolizes their marriage.

Tracy looked at Moning, who seemed to be in a sluggish state, and his nose was sour.

"It's just a ring, and that's all you want?"

"If I have 3 months left in my life, I will be with you and the children, but if I have 30 years left in my life, I want to fight again. Forgive me for my selfishness, Tracy. Mo Ning touched his wife's hand and gave her an apologetic smile.

"That old bastard called home today, huh... Hah—" Tracy took a deep breath, trying to suppress his mixed feelings.

"What did he say?"

"Miami will always be your home," he said. She gritted her teeth almost the whole time and said this.

The room was quiet for a few seconds.

"Hah... Haha··· Hahahaha! ”

"I knew that, I knew he was going to call me."

A big smiling face appeared on Monin's face, and a huge amount of strength surged from his tired body, and he rolled over and reached out towards the piercing phone.

"It's 23 o'clock." Tracy tries to stop Mourning.

"He won't sleep, he won't sleep until I get a reply, I know him too well." Mo Ning said confidently.

The call was connected almost three seconds after it aired.

"I thought you wouldn't be calling again tonight, you know, I've consumed 2 cigars to wait for your call." Riley, on the other end of the phone, said in a rare humorous tone.

"You know, you shouldn't call my home phone." Mourning said.

"Perhaps," Riley didn't explain. "How are you doing?"

"Didn't you watch tonight's game? 16 points, although I still lost in the end... After all, it's not as good as it used to be. Mo Ning's voice carried a little regret, but also a little proud.

After all, Elliott only averaged 6 points per game after his return, which was far worse than he is now.

"The Heat also have a game tonight... But I didn't watch it, but I watched your game the whole time. You know, the current Heat playing the Eastern Conference team doesn't have to be watched by me. Riley said unhurriedly on the other end of the phone.

"So you're waiting for my call just to show off to me?" Mo Ning snorted.

"Of course... No. ”

"Enough! When did you become so mother-in-law, tell me, what should I do, just like before! Mo Ning, who finally couldn't help it, shouted loudly.

"Wait, and then stay as healthy as you can. I'd prefer you to take a break if you could, and it's not a smart decision to be too dedicated when you don't have to. Riley said, a smile on his lips.

This may be the rare time in his life to persuade people to rest.

"The Nets won't let you go right now because of the deal they had recently completed, and they don't have a few big contracts left in their hands right now that they can trade." Riley explained for Monin.

"Enough! Get me ready for the locker closet! ”

Mo Ning didn't say anything more and hung up.

The next day, Mourning put on a suit and entered the Nets' injury company like Kidd and Jefferson.

"Right now, my body looks like it's going to collapse. For me, the only way to get better is to rest. My knees, my hips, my hands, all of them are getting in the way of my normal performance right now. It's not about the kidneys, it's just an injury. “

In front of the reporter's interview camera, Mo Ning said righteously.

He doesn't allow himself to be bad on the pitch, but he can not play.

······

Heading into December, the Heat continued their dominance in the East.

O'Neal, Wade and Mo Wen's cooperation is getting more and more tacit. Their division of labor was more reasonable than that of the later Green Army Triumvirate.

In the original history, Wade played more of a point guard position this season. Although the self-proclaimed "No. 1 scorer in the universe" Damon Jones became a nominal point guard in the second half, he was limited by his slower pace, and his ability to create opportunities to attract the defense was basically non-existent, and his presence could open up space, but it was limited.

Mo Wen was responsible for the mid-to-long distance, O'Neal pulled away on the inside, and Wade's offensive talent was unleashed to the fullest.

The Bucks, Bulls, Grizzlies, after three consecutive matchups against weak teams, the Heat's record has come to the best 10-game winning streak in years.

On the other side, the Suns also won 8 consecutive victories "vigorously".

In the NBA commissioner's office on the 20th floor of the Manhattan Tower, Stern looked out the window at the thunderclouds and licked his lips.

Let the storm come harder.
