Chapter 198, Dream and No Dream

In the noisy Toyota Center Arena, a black guy who didn't look young was holding the trophy symbolizing the All-Star MVP in the center of the stadium to be worshiped by the media and fans.

In the first half, his hard-working performance won applause from the audience; In the third quarter, he commanded and led the team step by step out of the quagmire of trailing by 21 points; In the final quarter, he staged a real knife and a real gun, a passionate collision of hard bridges and hard horses, and in the moment of life and death of the team, he successfully interfered twice, prevented Maddie's desperate shot, and maintained the 2-point lead to the end.

In the end, under his leadership, the East Force defeated the West Army, which was significantly better in form, and his 30+6+3 performance in 32 minutes also brought himself the first MVP trophy of his career.

"In the game I just want to give it my all, shoot hard, attack the rim, fight for rebounds. I used all my abilities. As for the 'MVP' I don't care, I just want to win the game."

"It was a pleasant surprise to get the AMVP at the age of 21 and I want to thank my teammates for working together with me to win the final victory for us, and to be able to recover from 21 points behind and finally complete the comeback, it is definitely the most memorable game I have ever experienced!"

"Personal glory does not mean everything for me, in my opinion, if the team can be successful, personal glory will naturally follow, today team success and personal honor are coming, I have made a lot of money!"

In front of the camera, he talked with a smile on his face, and the tattoo of the "Chosen One" under the jersey seemed to be shining, reflecting his image more and more great.

The streamers that floated from the sky were like holy light from heaven, crowning him with music.

Everything that is good is not like it is real.

The footage of the impromptu interview was removed, and before exiting the game, James found the players on both sides again and began to hug one by one.

The smile never disappeared from his face.

Until—

The last three people remained......

Wade: "I'm sorry, James, but hopefully this trophy will make you feel better." ”

Mo Wen: "Let the past pass, and look forward to the future, don't you feel great now?" ”

O'Neill: "Come on, the future is yours." ”

The smile disappeared from his face, and some painful memories seemed to break through the seal and re-emerge from his mind, he didn't want to recall, but subconsciously thought about what was going on.

"Well done, Mr. 58!"

"You know that you have worked hard this time, why was you beaten with a score difference of 58 points in the first place?"

"It's amazing, the king of the dead country with 58 points has actually stood up again!"

The fans on the sidelines shouted loudly at him with both hands to "confess", but the words were full of sarcasm.

A sorrow and anger welled up from the bottom of his heart, and the sound58 was like a match in the darkness, igniting the last fig leaf of his dark heart.

No, labor and management don't have 58, go to your 58!

In his hysterical roar and exaggerated movements of his teeth and claws, the scene in front of him dissipated like a cloud.

The hustle and bustle of the All-Star is gone, and everything is back to his familiar arena.

The feeling of suffocation and dead silence filled his brain again.

The towel wrapped in the head was still dripping with sweat.

The chaotic footsteps on the field can be faintly heard in the vague angles of teammates.

raised his head in a daze, and the score difference on the big screen was dazzling and desperate.

58 points?

How exactly is this done?!

And what scared him even more was that the game wasn't over yet.

He looked to the sidelines, and the fans' tears pooled into streams that flowed down the steps from the stands to the stadium.

Some seats are empty, some seats are slumped in their seats like damp tacos, and some seats are skeletons with their heads in their hands.

His strong and vigorous body seemed to be drained of all energy, like a scrapped classic car, and he could only stay in place, feeling all this like ashes.

With the last bit of strength, he fixed his head on the position of looking up at the score difference, and looking at the beating numbers, the despair in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Finally, the referee blew the whistle, and the despair in his heart was also put to the maximum at this moment.

His shrewd mind calculated the terrible difference in a matter of seconds.

No, no, no...... No~~~!

The lost strength came out of his limbs again.

NO!!!

In a mansion somewhere in Cleveland, on a custom-made large bed, the stout man clutched the sheets, almost exerting all his strength, and yelling angrily.

The crow outside the window fluttered its wings and flew away, the hostess on the bed was also frightened and screamed, and not far from the children's bed, the little baby who had just turned one year old was also awakened by this roar, and cried in confusion.

In a panic, the hostess turned on the bedroom light.

The blinding light brought James back to the familiar ceiling that made him relax.

In a few breaths, everything seemed to be calm again.

The screams of the men and women stopped, and only the cries of the children on the other side remained.

"Honey, what's going on?"

After seeing that there was no danger or accident around, the hostess breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the man with a frown.

Shaking his head at the familiar everything, James gasped vigorously as he thought back to what had just come to his mind.

"A nightmare."

He wiped the beads of sweat from his head and slapped his face vigorously with both hands.

The pain reassured him.

It's too real, he can't tell, he really can't tell......

The woman who got the answer didn't ask again, but comforted the child on the other side.

Jade, who was still in a bit of a trance, picked up the clock on the bedside table - three o'clock in the morning.

He lay back on the bed, and the uneasiness of his sleep came back to him again.

Pick up your phone.

A missed text message that came exactly 5 minutes ago.

I clicked on it and looked at it, but it was an apology from the melon.

[I'm sorry, brother, I was drunk just now, I vaguely remember what bad things I said to you, that was not my intention, I hope you can understand, next time I come to Denver I will invite you to drink and make amends to you......]

Patting his head, James finally remembered where his uneasiness was coming from.

After watching the game, he calculated the time to call to comfort Anthony, but he didn't want Anthony, who didn't know how much horse urine he had drunk, to come up and give him a whole outpouring of true feelings, a set of "Falk Squid, James" x20, and directly gave him the whole thing thinking that he had made a mistake.

Subsequently, under the guidance of James, Anthony's sanity finally returned for three minutes.

It was just a three-minute exchange like James seeing Anthony's heartbroken.

James, who has also been slaughtered by the Heat for thirty or forty points, can fully understand Anthony's feelings and empathize.

Therefore, even if he was accidentally injured by Anthony just now, James didn't take it to heart.

After lying in bed for a while, the feeling of unease still lingers.

Why?

Because the Heat's next opponent is them!

Although he was separated from Anthony by more than half of the United States, the juice from the smashed "melon" still splashed his face.

In the state of the Heat, the pressure on the Cavaliers is not ordinary.

Although the Nuggets are still pulling this year, they are also a team that has made the playoffs in the East.

Think about the fact that the Heat ended up playing all off the bench and could still beat them by 58 points.

Beasts, beasts, devils!

The Cavaliers have already played against the Heat this season, but that one caught up with Reedwei's feet, lacking the main attacker from the outside, and James could only barely support half the court before being forced to surrender.

Now Reed is back, but if the Heat can still be in this state......

Thinking about it, James felt that the originally soft spring bed was covered with pins and needles, and he couldn't lie down anymore.

After saying sorry to his wife, he took his sports bag and drove to the stadium in the cold wind.

To his surprise, the lights in the arena were still on.

The slightly warm training hall has been exposed, and the man must have been here for some time.

"Eh, why are you here, and sure enough, you can't sleep after watching the game, LeBron?"

Reed, with beads of sweat, came over and gave James a hug.

"I fell asleep, just had another nightmare."

James jokingly told what happened to him in his sleep, which succeeded in making Reed laugh.

"It's interesting, but I feel like you're a little too worried, and although we're not as good as the Heat, we certainly won't lose to them that much, James, don't underestimate yourself."

Reid wanted to ease James' anxiety, but he forgot that he couldn't sleep and came out to practice, and he was obviously a lost lamb too.

A stadium with only two people, without so much hypocrisy and politeness.

James didn't think about saying the bright words of the day again, but only thanked him in reply.

In the deserted arena, the two looked at each other without saying a word, looked at each other, and smiled bitterly in unison.

"Do you think we still have a chance this year, Michael?" James holds the ball, stands outside the three-point line, and practices meaningless three-pointers.

Reed rubbed his eyes, which were a little red from staying up late, looked up at the empty ceiling, and didn't reply directly, but thought for a moment.

"If you have a chance, don't be intimidated by them, they are strong, but you are not weak, you are the most talented player in the league, as long as you practice your skills, no one will be your opponent."

"The Pistons and the Heat are both championship teams, both are strong, but we are not weak, don't forget that the last team with two top 10 players in the scoring list has built a dynasty!"

Reed's self-confidence is not without reason, and just as OK complements each other, so do his and James' characteristics.

You Zhan is still in a stage where he relies on his body to play ball, and he only has breakthroughs and balls in terms of technique.

Rough is rough, but the talent is here, and whoever fights is misplaced, and it's really not that easy to defend.

His weakness is also obvious, leaving the basket is completely unable to guarantee a shooting percentage, and he can't use mid-range and three-pointers to punish the opponent's sinking defense.

As for Reid, his mid-to-long-range shooting last season was more efficient than Kobe Bryant and Ray Allen, and the three-point range is not top-notch, but it is also first-class.

He started out as a scorer early in his career, and a year before he officially became the team's boss, his teammates were Payton, Ray Allen and Cassel, three guards who were all good on the ball, and he didn't need to play the ball.

It is said that Kobe and Iverson are alone, but in fact, Kobe and Iverson both have good ball ability, and their teammates almost can't help it, as far as Reed, as the outside core, has averaged 20+ points per game in 6 seasons, but only one season has more than 3 assists, which can be called one of the players who will not use his scoring influence.

In terms of division of labor, two people are one inside and one outside, one bursts to radiate the whole team, and the other is outside to catch the ball and shoot or force the solution.

plus a [no three-point version of Lefou] big Z.

This lineup combination, at this point in time, could not be more reasonable.

So far, they are only 1 win behind the Pistons, who were the first in the league in the original time and space, and now the second in the league, and they have fully demonstrated their dominance.

Before the start of the season, Mo Wen thought when he saw the Cavaliers lineup that it was very likely that he would have to play against Youzhan in this year's East Finals.

Originally, in time and space, Larisius only played 3 games in the Eastern Conference semifinals due to injury, and the whistle was still at the level of a nephew, and the young Zhan fought with the Pistons to tie seven.

Now that Hughes has been replaced by Reed, who is more compatible with Ajan, even if the Pistons have more role players, it is difficult to say that they can please Ajan.

It's just that the experience of failing in front of the playoffs in the first two years has made Ajan's self-confidence still in a state of compression.

Now he doesn't want to compare himself to the crown, he is very happy to show off in the second round.

"Last night, I was on the phone with Carmelo and he told me not to give the Heat a chance." Instead of taking Reed's expectations, Ajan talks about the conversation he had with Anthony on the phone last night.

"It's impossible, the Heat don't talk about those stars who hold their legs, and we can't completely restrict the Big Three."

Reed is very β about his defense, although his physique is not small, but his defensive ability and defensive habits are not good, whether it is Wade or Mo Wen can find a breakthrough from him, he wants to practice, but the technique is not something that can be practiced in a day or two.

"No, he's not talking about defense." James shook his head, "What he said was surrender, surrender must be decisive, speed, and if you see that the momentum is not right, you must not give them a chance to brush up points......"

Reed: "......"

……

January 16, 10 a.m.

A buzzing phone woke up the person who was still under the covers.

In a daze, Mo Wen crossed the two peaks and got the mobile phone.

"You're late again, it's already 10 o'clock, are you planning to come back after lunch?"

Listening to Da Fan's helpless voice on the other end of the phone, Mo Wen didn't have much emotional fluctuations, and even yawned.

"If I can go after a nap, I'm running out of time, and it would be a shame if I didn't use up the leave slip that Riley gave me.

Besides, these two days coincide with the Chinese New Year, and the biological clock of rest has been engraved in our genes, so we have to sleep lazy in these two days. ”

As he spoke, Mo Wen still got up from the bed.

Thanks to the sun irradiation angle in the low latitudes, although the curtain has a small slit, the sunlight reading strip politely stays in front of the bed.

Kicking away the extremely poor quality stockings, Mo Wen began to look for clothes to cover his body.

"I can't figure out how you can suddenly become so lazy, come early in the afternoon, the coaching staff and the management team are going to discuss some reinforcements, and Riley wants to hear your thoughts."

"Come on, I'm a little lazy and good to everyone, I don't believe you see Riley didn't say anything. I'll have lunch in a moment, and I'll be over in a moment. ”

Hanging up the phone, Mo Wen patted Catherine's buttocks, he originally wanted to get back the boxer pants pressed under her, but he didn't think that she was too sensible to stagger the upper legs.

Inexplicably unlocked a chain of quests.

An hour later, Mo Wen came downstairs with a slightly tired body and a vigorous spirit to enjoy the breakfast that had been arranged before.

It's another Spring Festival when you have a home and can't go back.

However, fortunately, he received a good gift this Spring Festival -

[Signal Jammer Type I]: It can shield signals from unknown sources within 120 hours.

(Note 1: You can choose to forcibly stop during use, and the item will be disposed of immediately after stopping) (Note 2: Please use with caution)

This is the item he swiped out in the recent [Hell Dungeon], he was a little confused at first, and he didn't know what this thing was for, but he didn't feel anything else when he tried to use it.

I thought that the hard work had been in vain, but the next morning, Mo Wen found that he didn't seem to have a copy of last night's memory.

In other words, the dungeon space was temporarily blocked by him, and he got back his sleep for the first time!

Although the dungeon space has proven that sleep in a narrow sense is not a necessity for him, Mo Wen still wants to enjoy the pleasure that ordinary people can enjoy.

The feeling of sleeping and dreaming that he had lost for 2 years.

There is no point, a waste of time, but ...... Refreshing!

Every day when you close your eyes is the game, and when you open your eyes, it is basketball, even if it has made him a habit, there is a little despair in his heart.

The emperor has 3,000 beauties in the harem, and he doesn't have to turn over the cards every day.

Gotta give Jill a day off.

Being a pervert in the copy every day, learning to sit and forget the way, he is really afraid that one day he will confuse reality with the copy.

Although the duration of the prop is only 5 days, and the explosion rate is not high at present, there is hope for this day, right?

According to the refresh probability of the Hell dungeon and his current clearance rate of about 40%, he can clear the game once or twice a month.

But that's not enough.

He also has to work hard to get stronger, clear the Hell dungeon 100% as much as possible, and then spawn more shields to buy himself more vacations!

Still, how does this routine sound so much like having to study hard in order to get out of school?

……

In the afternoon, as soon as he came to the door of the locker room, Mo Wen heard two miserable howls coming from inside.

Through the crack in the door, Mo Wen clearly saw a big black fat man who was almost naked wearing only a Japanese-style crotch cloth on his body, and pressed Wade under him in a not very standard wrestling position.

Carrying the bag, closing his eyes, and turning to leave.

He felt the need to ask Riley for a mental damage fee and an eyewash fee.

Ao Fat was originally a pervert, and he usually did a lot of things to train in pants and socks, but Riley recently hired a sumo teacher for Ao Fat in order to cooperate with the TV station's overall program effect.

This is equivalent to giving Ao Fat a reasonable excuse to release his perverted personality - to practice sumo.

Ao Fat had a lot of fun, but the rest of the Heat suffered from old sins.

Think of a 300-pound naked man who wants to stick to you at every turn, press you under him and rub you, and push you to the base of the wall and spank you.

Not to mention the experience, when the onlookers watch from the sidelines, they can feel very shocked......

Even if you know that he is straight, you can't help but think crookedly.

Run to the second floor.

The meeting that Dafan said has been going on for a while.

Riley glanced at Mo Wen and thought about it, but he couldn't help but not get angry.

Just flung over a stack of player reports and motioned for him to take a look.

There's nothing to see, these corners are mainly free agents who haven't found a job yet, or small roles that don't have a role in other teams.

The Heat's small life is prosperous, and the other teams' lives are not good, the traffic is sucked away by the Heat, and the average players with some ability cannot be released to the Heat even if they fall into the river.

Taking a step back, the Heat's 12-man roster is a little short of the two rookies, Taft and White.

In fact, it would be nice if the Heat could do a 10-man rotation, after all, they focus on star tactics.

If there are more people, the statistics of stars will also be ugly.

After a symbolic consultation with Mo Wen, the Heat finally sent the three of them an invitation to tryout.

Wenbeck, Shanton Anderson and an undrafted pick, Gerard Feige.

However, the former four-time All-Star, who used to compete with Payton in the SuperSonics, has become a piece of rubbish with uncontrollable weight at this time, and Riley saw that he couldn't finish the physical fitness test and sent him home.

Shanton Anderson is not bad, although the physical decline is very serious, but the projection is okay, and he used to be the one who worked with the second Jazz elder Danzi, has Finals experience, is very experienced in handling the ball, and may threaten White's position.

Gerard Feige signed him with the Heat to let him take the position of Lue's coach, but unfortunately he only has speed and no confrontation, and it is not suitable.

January 17th.

The Heat, who had just slaughtered the Nuggets, descended on Cleveland.

Cleveland fans are worried about whether the Cavaliers will be overwhelmed by the Heat.

Their fears proved to be justified.

Ao Fat and Wade, who had not been able to brush up before, chose to continue to complete the unfinished business in the last game.

In the first half, the two frantically attacked the interior and smashed the Cavaliers' not tough interior defense.

Just at the end of the first half, the two combined scored more than 40 points.

Ajan also defended through his efforts, and successfully "limited" Mo Wen's half-court score to 8 points, as for Mo Wen's 12 assists or something, the Heat led the Cavaliers by 10 points or something, it didn't matter.

Serious Jamie, who looks at the positive and negative values.

In the second half, Ajan finally hit two whistles from Ao Fat through desperate breakthroughs.

But the Heat's offense didn't relegate with Fat's departure.

On the contrary, the Heat's defense has improved a little because of the lack of the drag of Ao Fat.

Ao Fat's standing pile under the basket is a breakthrough that restrains Ajan, but Ajan's current counterattack and fast attack ability has been practiced to a small extent, and he has accumulated a lot of experience in offensive and defensive alignment.

may have found that the Heat were not as invincible and terrifying as they imagined, and Ajan's subsequent performance was getting better and better.

However, it may also have something to do with the fact that the Heat gradually switched to the bench after opening up the point difference.

In the end, facing the Cavaliers, who were third in the East, the Heat, who were in good shape, won the game with a "narrow" advantage of 16 points.

It's really not that the Cavaliers are not strong, and Ao Fat and Wade are not touching the Heat, if you pull the Nuggets over and do it again, maybe it's still that point difference.

(Anthony: No way, absolutely no way, this time my gun is full of bullets!) )

And in the following game in January, the Heat continued to maintain their form, and played another wave of 7 consecutive wins.

may be that seeing that the team has been too smooth recently, Ao Fat, who can't be idle, has organized another yacht party.

Don't think this kind of life is ridiculous, multimillionaires don't need to work hard for three meals, don't worry about work, don't go to have fun, and put their energy into training every day is ridiculous.

Why do you say that your circle is chaotic, because it is idle.

The 996 people have the lowest crime rate because they don't have the energy to commit crimes other than work.

Mo Wen didn't get on the yacht that degraded human civilization, but he didn't pretend to be a saint either, and he also managed to "make" a rich friend of O'Neill in the party in the outfield...... daughter.

The rich man was quite famous later, he got married three times in Miami last year, and Ao Fat spent a lot of money and gave him a Rolls-Royce, and Mo Wen went to join in the fun.

Of course, Mo Wen's purpose is not very pure, or it is purely bold.

At that time, he thought that he was going to get acquainted with the eldest princess, but unfortunately, the eldest princess with a fat baby didn't seem to be very kind to her stepmother and didn't come to the wedding scene.

This time it can be regarded as making up for the regret......

The big rich man has always wanted an athlete's son-in-law, because the big rich man has always wanted to be an athlete, but although the eldest princess is not so dead in terms of appearance, it is also the kind that Joaquin Phoenix started and Christian Bale is okay, and ordinary athletes will definitely not be able to reach it.

This standard is certainly not a problem for Mo Wen.

There are a lot of celebrities at the outfield party, and their fame, figure, appearance, and wealth have reached the point of Mo Wen, as long as he nods, he can pick the top ten unmarried women in the world.

It wasn't that he was talking big, but there were four people at this party, and they all left him a phone number.

Mo Wen didn't want to go further with this long-legged princess, anyway, it was just to play, and the kind of room where the two didn't recognize each other.

T800's son-in-law he still dares to be, this one doesn't have much water, but the water is too deep.

The consequence of the relaxation of all employees is a collective decline in state.

At the end of January, the Heat lost another upset to the Mavericks, and almost lost to the Nets in the back.

Riley got angry, but it didn't work, Ao Fat was small-minded but not stingy, everyone did it, and only Mo Ning chose to turn back because of hardware.

The game with the Nets can be won, or Mo Wen moved out of the [57] legend of the combination of this year's [58] miracle, the result of their mental pollution of the whole game.

After the game, Carter and Kidd, who were angry, bluntly said that they wanted to break up with him.

No, [57] did they still have a friendship after that?

Oh, [57] after that, the Nets seemed to be swept in the first round of the playoffs without O'Neal Heat......

There will be more tonight
