The Lunar New Year game is on Feb. 9, and the Heat have three games left before that.

The Heat, who wanted another winning streak, failed to continue their late form, and almost overturned in their first game against the Bulls in February.

The Bulls' shooting isn't very good, unlike the three-point teams that have caused trouble for the Heat before, and they can fight with the Heat with accurate shooting.

After winning easily over the Heat last time, Bulls head coach Skels used the most simple tactics this time to lead the team to fight with the Heat to the end.

It's rushing!

The Bulls, whose average starting age is only 22 years old, pushed the talent and drive of their youth to the limit in this game.

Their skills are rough and their defense is terrible, not at all like a playoff team, but there's no denying that their talent is among the best in the league.

This group of stunned youths relied on the impact and running style of play without considering physical strength, and they were stunned to fight on par with the powerful Heat.

It's now 7 years since Jordan retired from the Bulls, but in the previous six seasons, the Bulls had won just 123 games combined.

On average, only 20 wins in a season.

Under such a crazy swing, the returns are also considerable, and the Bulls have successfully accumulated a large number of talented players-

Eddie Curry, Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Rohr Deng, Tyson Chandler · ·

They are all talent monsters in the draft, and the most important thing is that these talent monsters have more or less fulfilled their talents.

Later, Kobe Bryant disliked the Lakers for not finding a suitable helper for him, and proposed a trade to come to the Bulls, in addition to wanting to further succeed Joe's helper, he took a fancy to the talent of this group of boys.

It's a pity that he didn't like it, and the Lakers management also took a fancy to it, if Kobe really wanted to come to the Bulls, this group of talented players would have to go to the Lakers as a bargaining chip to report, Kobe Bryant's change of team is basically equivalent to not changing, and his teammates may even become worse because of this, and finally it will be gone.

Hinrich, who is opposite Mo Wen, played at a super level today, as the 7th pick in the 03rd class, the first man in the rookie to get a triple-double, he was evaluated as the best point guard in the 03rd class last year, and received countless praises, but after Mo Wen changed to point guard this year, suddenly few people mentioned him.

Whether it is scoring data, or shooting percentage, or high-level offensive and defensive contributions, he has been completely blown away.

Even the local media in Chicago don't think that Xin Li can compare with Mo Wen, but fortunately Mo Wen is not a rookie, otherwise his ranking problem will have to be pulled out again.

Hinrich is not the kind of player who has an arrogant personality and likes to hype, he held his strength into the game, and was entangled with Mo Wen from beginning to end.

As a white player who plays with his brain, he used the home whistle to cheat Mo Wen into 3 fouls in the first half, successfully cutting and compressing Mo Wen's space on the defensive end, and also allowing Wade to taunt Mo Wen for a long time in the middle of the court.

Approaching the Chinese New Year, Mo Wen also committed the "year-end syndrome", and his attention was not as focused as usual, so he was attacked by such a cold sneak attack.

But this also reminded him that the good traveler drowns, and the good rider falls.

He doesn't yet have the strength to relax casually.

The real game is not a card battle or a kryptonite game, and the performance of the strong and weak is closely related to their attitude.

Mo Wen reflected and woke up, but in the next back-to-back games with the Wizards, the Heat had no choice but to hand over their sixth defeat of the season.

In the last game, he ran a whole game with the Bulls, and the main players of the Heat had a lot of physical exertion.

Especially Ao Fat, in the last game he and the 135 kg "little shark" Eddie Curry after a hand-to-hand fight with the left thigh faintly uncomfortable, although today insisted on playing, but the offensive and defensive ends of the march speed is much slower than before, to the end of the game only contributed 17 points and 8 rebounds.

Arenas didn't have a head iron today, the team took the lead in the opening game, saw the hope of victory, he kept his composure, and did the coach's instructions to play Wade seriously throughout the whole process.

Wade's body is stronger than Arenas, but his shot today seems to be covered, except for a layup under the basket, a little farther away from the basket is not allowed, only 22 points on 19 shots, and the efficiency is far worse than his usual.

Mo Wen, who took over the team's offensive banner, cut a quasi-triple-double of 27 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds, but his teammates were in average condition, and he couldn't make up for such a big gap.

After losing this game, the Heat didn't have time to reflect on the review, and the next day they ushered in the challenge of the Pistons.

Larry Brown was comfortable after Milicic was traded, the environment in the locker room became less awkward, and the Pistons' record began to pick up.

But it's not that there is no discord at all, and the life of the two white insiders who were traded over is not so wishful.

Milicic had managed to integrate into the Pistons' team of players with the help of Mo Wen, and the situation of the two international players, Radmanovic and Potapenko, was not so comfortable.

Radmanovic, who uses shooting as his main offensive means, is now the new "trash can" of Larry Brown because he is not as good as Milicic in the confrontation, and Potapanko's speed is too slow, and it is still a bit useful when he plays a heavy center like Ofat. At other times, it is a stake on the court, which does not fit the Pistons' joint defense lineup at all, and the Ukrainian locomotive cannot adapt to the busy traffic of the Motor City.

Fortunately, after a day's rest, the Heat's players regained their physical strength, and after a stomach-sore offensive and defensive battle, the two teams were tied at 92-92 in regulation time.

Mo Wen originally wanted to give Larry Brown another show, but he didn't want to, and the Pistons did a pretty good job of blocking his research today.

The crazy 30-point performance at halftime made the Pistons' coaching staff realize that they had never really understood the former champion, so since the last game, Mo Wen has been on the Pistons' key watch list.

Larry Brown arranges defense at a good level, and his strategy of adjusting the strategy of arranging Caron Butler or Prince to defend Mo Wen according to the different lineups of the Heat has indeed caused Mo Wen a lot of trouble.

But if it's just for his trouble, it's okay, and the Pistons are doing a good job of defending others.

Portapanko, who got the opportunity to play because of Ao Fat, will take revenge on his backhand, arch if he can, and foul if he can't withstand it.

And when Wade faced the liberated Big Ben or Wallace, the breakthrough was not as sharp as before.

The Pistons' defense, if they can't find a breakthrough, just rely on slowly grinding to take the lead, in addition to the physical test, the mental torture must also be endured.

To break the opponent's will to resist, the humble defense is actually more effective than the three-point that is so accurate that the scalp is numb.

Just like in ancient times, the imperial court generally did not control cold weapons and bows and arrows so strictly, but it was a felony to keep armor in secret - one armor topped with three crossbows, and three armor entered the underworld.

Today, there is a similar law in the United States, which prohibits guns for people with criminal records, but prohibits them from possessing body armor······

First overtime.

Mo Wen tried to believe in Wade, who had better physical strength, but didn't want to look like a personal Wade in regular time, and missed three consecutive shots at critical moments.

Fortunately, Billups also followed Wade to make a foul, and failed to kill a three-point shot in the last 7 seconds.

The two teams were tied and the game went to the second extra time.

But this time it was not Mo Wen or Wade who saved the Heat, but the "No. 1 scorer in the universe" Damon Jones.

Mo Wen 82's physical attributes are still a little worse, and he didn't have much strength in regular time today, and when he played the second overtime, he already relied on willpower to mobilize his body.

The little man, who usually doesn't have much of a scene, made 3 of 4 three-pointers in the second overtime, causing Hamilton to foul and personally cut down 11 points.

In the end, the Heat won the game by a narrow margin of 2 points.

The highest score in this game was not the Heat's trident, but Damon Jones' 32 points.

Don't underestimate role players, there are two brushes that can stay in the NBA.

The Heat's schedule during this period stumbled, and the Rockets, the other protagonist of the Spring Festival war, performed even worse.

They have lost six of their last 10 matches.

Da Yao, who had scored 50 points before, played with confidence, and he did not bow down like in his previous life, but actively competed with Maddie for the ball.

There is a chance to be a red flower who wants to be a green leaf. (Da Yao once said that Maddie is a safflower, he is a green leaf)

Da Yao is a little softer, but not without ambition at all.

But why did he want a moldy man who wasn't even a friend of him to make a sacrifice?

If there are fans who watch football from that era, they will know that the relationship between Maddie and Da Yao is not as close as the media advertises, and they are more of a colleague relationship than buddy friendship.

Don't think that the two will always have a friendly interaction of "tacit high-five" and "passionate hug" when they play a good game or win a game, and think that the relationship between the two is very good, you must know that when O'Neal and Kobe Bryant were incompatible last season, the two will still hug each other like good brothers when they win.

What is called a brother, but it is just a scene.

Mo Wenken's sacrifice was based on the fact that he had the ball and could guarantee his own data, and Wade also made concessions and gave up the right to control the ball, without letting Mo Wen pay unilaterally.

Nominally, Mo Wen is the Heat's three-in-command, but his ball usage rate is the most in the Heat.

However, the Rockets coaching staff made a sacrifice for Da Yao to simply reduce his position on the offensive end and let him play on the defensive end.

The best thing to say is to let him be the leader of the defensive end, and to be honest, it is to let him do the dirty work...

Da Yao did not agree to sacrifice, Maddie did not want to change his style of play, Fan Bald was numb, he was not good at handling player relations, and his tactical ability was mediocre, which led him to do very bluntly on the issue of mediating the ball.

The two twisted each other and didn't give in to each other, the team's tactics couldn't be opened, and they could only take turns to pick up the ball one by one, and the current winning rate of the Rockets against the half was also a reflection of the strength of the two.

It's just that Xiao Fan is numb, the previous invincible "big orange is important" does not work for Yao Ming, but Da Yao has seen Mo Wen deal with the "overall situation" in the team during the Olympics.

This summer's Olympic journey not only brought Da Yao a bronze medal, but also taught him that compromise is not the only option.

······

Landing from the airport in Houston was normal at first, but since entering the main city of Houston, Mo Wen noticed a lot of Chinese elements on the streets, especially after the bus drove closer to the Toyota Arena, Mo Wen also faintly heard the sound of gongs and drums.

And when the bus arrived at the pre-arranged hotel, a dragon dance team also passed through the road next to the hotel.

"Hell, Texas will have a day when it will accept foreign festivals." O'Neill muttered on the bus.

After settling down at the hotel for a while, Mo Wen did not rest with the team, but called Dazhi, called Da Yao, and then took a taxi to Da Yao's villa.

"Your place is really quiet, but there is less fireworks, and the city has to be lively and lively."

Looking at the calm mirror-like Lake Wenther in front of him, Mo Wen yawned.

"You haven't bought a house in downtown Miami anymore, so why are you embarrassed to say mine."

Da Yao kicked a small pebble under his feet into the lake, breaking this beautiful scene.

"My house is not far from Shaq's house, half an hour to Dwyne's house, and a little further away from Haslem is only 40 minutes; a garden villa in the city where Rasul lives; Kenyon lives in an apartment next to the arena... Speaking of which, the best location has to be the mansion of the Shaq family, which looks remote but is close to everywhere. ”

Mo Wen said pointedly.

"Have you ever been to the T-mac?"

"Haven't been." Da Yao was stunned for a moment and said.

"Do you know whose address is on your team?" Mo Wen continued to ask

"This... I remember Boss F. Fernandes's house unfortunately he moved away, and Mobley also took me to his house, but now that he is playing in Oakland, I heard that he is going to sell his house, and I have heard that Jim lives in the community, but I don't have a U.S. driver's license, so I haven't been there... Other personnel come and go, usually in the team just say a few words, there is not much communication after work, and the players have a home address, it is not difficult to find. ”

As he spoke, Da Yao seemed to realize something.

"Have you ever had a party at home?" Mo Wen glanced at him.

"Why do you have so many questions, I must have invited them to eat at home, but the kind you said... Your Uncle Yao is okay to stay at home, and I don't dare to lend me your guts. ”

Da Yao showed a wry smile on his face.

"Shaq drove in his mansion to the point where his neighbor had sued him. Wade also has a lot of guests in nightclubs, I don't like to mess around, but I usually find a few guys in the team who like boxing to go to the boxing gym to work out..."

"Without O'Neal's dominance, or Duncan's skills, Dirk's boss, or Big Ben's character, you just need to put some thought into it... You don't have to please anyone, but you have to be quite old to further integrate into the culture. ”

"Why do you know these things?" Although Yao Ming felt that Mo Wen was, he had fulfilled a lot of what Mo Wen had said before, and he didn't give any face.

"I climbed from the sixth person to the third master, and I know a lot more than you, who had the opportunity to be a big master, but now you have to work hard to fight for it." Mo Wen looked at the suspicion in Da Yao's eyes and did not continue to explain.

This kind of thing, Da Yao will also be able to learn in the future, but when Da Yao learned these things in his previous life, he almost didn't need it...

The two walked along the lake and chatted a lot.

And in Da Yao's small villa, dumplings have filled the entire table, but not enough.

There are nearly ten people not counting children.

Da Yao's parents, Mo Wen's cousin's family, and even Da Zhi's wife and children were allowed to return to the United States to reunite with him.

At noon, a circle of people watched the TV and watched the Spring Festival Gala broadcast by the international channel while eating dumplings, and with the end of the countdown and the ringing of the bell, the new year came.
