With sparse applause and scattered boos, Mo Wen smiled with a smile on his easily printed poster, and once again lifted the AMVP trophy under the gaze of long guns and short guns.

(Someone won the third MVP trophy in their life at the age of 21, what about you?) ）

The stars in the west were a little depressed, wiping their sweat while their eyes kept switching back and forth between Mo Wen and Maddie.

I hate to press the gold thread year after year, and make wedding clothes for others.

They don't want to criticize Maddy for anything, Maddie has stood at the same height as Zhang Dashuai in 31 minutes, which is quite amazing.

At the time of the AMVP vote just now, Maddie, as the loser, also received a lot of votes.

At that time, there were staff members who went to Stern and asked him if he wanted another loser MVP or a shared MVP.

Stern considered it or denied it, if Maddie scored one more point, more than Zhang 20,000, he might still have some ideas.

Just being on a par is not enough to make an exception for the league.

In fact, this is also his compensation to the Heat in advance, the Heat is now very likely to break the Bulls' winning record, but the core of the team can't even get into the top three MVP, you must know that the Bulls Pippen entered the top five that year, which is a bit unreasonable, and this AMVP is also a consolation prize.

As for Maddie......

It's not bad to be a tragic hero.

Life is like a movie, everyone has their own role, and it is impossible for all characters to play comedy.

Hugging after the game, Maddie looked at Mo Wen, who was talking and laughing with the western star, and Mo Wen, who was like a sibling to Yao Mingbo, couldn't say that he didn't have a little envy in his heart, but he could only say that he was full of jealousy.

Tian Tian was described by the media as the pride of the sky, but he felt that Mo Wen was the one who was really favored by God.

He is obviously so C today, but he is still no match for Mo Wen's "brother basketball".

Today's Eastern Scoring lineup is basically cut by Mo Wen and his teammates or former teammates.

The teammates of the Western team are also strong, but the tacit understanding with him is still a little worse, in other words, there is a delay.

Unfair, unfair, heavy ......

……

After the game, under the recommendation of Uncle Mu, an old driver, Mo Wen found a good place to take the brothers in the east to a celebration banquet.

When the hustle and bustle cleared, the exhausted All-Star tossed Heat Big Three did not rush back to Miami, but rested in Houston.

They were lucky enough to catch the Heat in their first game after All-Star Break, and simply stayed in Houston and waited for their teammates to come, which also saved them a bumpy road.

Two days after All-Star Weekend, when the Heat triumvirate returned to the Toyota Center, there was no more cheering than a choppy boo.

Even though Mo Wen's last goal is classic and beautiful, there are still many fans who are worried about Mo Wen stealing Maddie AMVP.

At the All-Star event held at their home stadium, Mo Wen stepped on their supernatural star and achieved his own glory, is there any worse bastard behavior than this?

Not to mention, there is still a rumor in Houston that sounds very reasonable - it is precisely because Mo wants to play "compatriot basketball" with Yao that Da Yao did not renew his contract with the Rockets in advance.

Add new hatred and old hatred, and Mo Wen has simply become the villain of the city.

The kind that can never be forgiven.

Unless...... Mo Wenken wore a Houston jersey in the offseason.

In the front row of Houston, there were really fans wearing a private custom Mowen Rocket No. 66 jersey.

The Rockets did not pay the luxury tax, and if they operate well, they are also qualified to pursue Mowen.

Dawson also asked Da Yao many times in private, if Mo Wenken came, they were willing to send Maddie away with a few veterans who couldn't play to make room for salary.

Maddie's contract accounts for 35% of salary space, not to mention his negligible potential, and his combat power alone is slightly inferior to Mo Wen now.

Even if he can barely beat Mo Wen's score, not looking at the just qualified shooting percentage in the guard, converted into 36 minutes of scoring, he is not as good as Mo Wen now.

Looking back and sitting on the inside and outside lines of Mo Wen and Yao Ming, they can not only compete for the championship but also make money, and it makes people can't close their legs when they think about it.

It's a pity that the Rockets are one of the few teams where Mo Wen explicitly told Da Yao that he would not go.

Kidding aside, the data analyst who moved from baseball to vice president of the Celtics has already decided to make the jump to Houston next month.

Mo Wen doesn't mind working with idiots, but he doesn't want to walk with pigs and dogs.

As a manager, Morey can barely score 7.5 points among professional managers with his magic ball theory (which originated in baseball, which is mainly about how teams do big things with little money, and efficient scoring theory of shooting threes and attacking the basket is only part of it).

But to be human...... Well, he doesn't deserve to be human.

There would have been no suspense for the Heat to play the Western Conference weakers.

But the Rockets fell to the "weak team" this year, not because they weren't strong enough, but because they had injured too much.

Before the All-Star break, they activated the "16-man clause" at one point, which means that the team has six unavailable patients at the same time.

Not to mention that there is enough for the 12-man roster, the Rockets couldn't even make up two normal rotations in the middle.

It's not that the Rockets have suffered a damnation, in fact, the hidden danger was buried as early as last season when Dawson brought in a large number of veterans.

In addition, Yao Ming's unstable state after surgery in the summer, Maddie's back injury and grief continued.

At present, the Rockets still retain the hope of competing for the playoffs, which is already the result of this group of veterans.

Today, the Rockets are not only in good shape inside and outside the core, but also have a full 12-man roster.

Xiao Fan also rarely has confidence.

Da Yao's performance this year has been very vocal to take over the No. 1 center position, and Maddie's All-Star status is also obvious to all.

42 points in 30 minutes, which is 48 minutes...... Forget it, it won't take that long, just 40 points are enough.

The Heat's lineup is very luxurious, but his brother complained to him two days ago, saying that he couldn't control this group of big-name players and wasted all his good rest time on dancing girls.

The time, the place, the people - he has them all!

Win the game, do wonders, and start the winning streak mode to lead the Rockets to the playoffs!

He bought all the toilet paper and waited to close the curtains and start playing.

……

“36：26！ The Rockets won the first quarter of the starting battle, and it's hard to believe that Yao and Tmac played a phenomenal performance in the face of such a luxurious starting lineup of the Heat, and if I'm not mistaken, the Rockets should be the first team to achieve this achievement! ”

Sitting on the bench on the sidelines, Mo Wen glanced at the cloudy pupils of this group of people.

He is a bit of a Bengbu, as old as him, for this group of guys to make a ball, actually caused 2 mistakes.

He's like the parents of that 1-year-old child, the food is fed into his mouth, chew it, chew it, and he can still mess with it.

Mistakes are largely not a matter of technique, but of attitude, or of the attitude of the team as a whole.

Especially for a mature team like the Heat, this is obviously a problem with the minds of other players.

Ao Fat is simply a big dough in front of Da Yao, and he looks like a 300-pound aunt is pushing Da Yao Bo a few times.

Wade's "fastest first step" looked like a pirated copy in front of Maddie, and he was bitten twice by the veteran Wesley on the defensive end.

In addition to them, the state of several people who stayed in Miami is also indescribable.

To be honest, he was really a little envious of Danzi.

I can get Rodman's kind of best to be a teammate.

After playing 48 minutes, you can play another 48 minutes.

The Heat's bunch of guys usually brag about how much they have and how long they can last, but they cool down longer than the other.

"Don't get distracted, it's time to fight well in a while, if you lose to the rocket, no one will want to brush the tiger's whiskers later?"

Looking at the two people who were still in a trance under Dafan's spit, Mo Wen slapped them on the back.

The Rockets are not weak, but in terms of squad depth and player toughness, they are still a long way from a truly strong team.

Mo Wen was a little glad that there were many veterans of the rockets, and there was Da Yao who slowed down the counterattack.

If the Heat's state meets a fast-break team today, it will really be a cry without tears.

On the other side of the rocket, the atmosphere is also rarely cheerful.

The Heat played in the whole lineup, and the "Big Three" played more than 8 minutes, is this the strength of the Healthy Rockets?

Xiao Fan put his hands in his pockets, without the embarrassment and decadence of the past.

Da Fan, who was spitting at the other side, shook his head.

My stupid brother~

He's always been smarter, better, just look at his shiny brain.

Is that baldness?

No!

That's the light that guides the players forward!

He flipped through his script... Oh no, it's a tactical board, according to the tactics, continue to give the ball to Da Yao and Maddie, lead by 20 points in the first half, and then stabilize the situation in the second half and wait for the victory of the game.

After all, it's his brother, so it's better to keep some noodles.

Maddie, who scored 16 points in the first quarter, was still thinking about how many points she could score today.

Finley's old arms and legs are toys, Wade's reaction today is always half a beat slower than him, and neither is Rasul, as long as he doesn't go to the inside to challenge Ao Fat's airspace, with his feel today, revenge is in sight.

But as soon as the whistle blew in the second quarter, when everyone was back on the field.

Maddie was excited to find that the person she was opposite had become Mo Wen.

It's-

And this kind of good thing?

He can take revenge with his own hands!

The fans on the sidelines also burst into cheers.

They like to watch this kind of multi-plot series.

Of course, there are also many people who are worried about Maddie.

As far as Mo Wen's steal data this year is concerned, the "first defense" has basically been booked.

Alstom, known for his agility and speed, struggled in the first quarter under Mo Wen's targeting.

Mo Wen's defense has moved away from the low-level fun of crazy biting and death entanglement.

It's the blow of experience, like the unpredictable digging of the ball of the old man in the park.

"Do you want to experience what it's like to be in the second round?"

Mo Wen took a defensive stance in front of Maddie.

"Huh? Hum! I'll go myself! ”

Maddie was stunned for a moment, and then learned to look like a best friend and gave Mo Wen a death glare.

He felt that Mo Wen was mocking him, and the evidence was conclusive!

"You misunderstood, I mean, do you want to experience it now?"

Mo Wen is like a salesman, enthusiastically peddling the regular season DLC.

Maddie didn't respond again, and Mo Wen took it as his acquiescence.

In the Rockets' offensive round, Maddy held the ball and pulled away from the single 45 degrees outside the three-point line.

In the bottom corner is Wesley, who is the most accurate three-point player for the Rockets, at the top of the arc is Alston who is ready to respond, and the inside line is Da Yao, who is entangled with Ao Fat.

The stage is as wide as the Houston Grand Opera.

Maddie took a deep breath, and in front of him, Mo Wen's slight smile made him feel a little cool, a little uncomfortable.

Then get past him!

Don't call it blocking, Maddie picked up the back luck under the crotch to find a rhythm, and the NBA's first beautiful leg made a force, shaking off half of her body and heading towards the middle distance.

The physical confrontation came as expected, but Maddie didn't feel much discomfort.

Two more steps, and Mo Wen will be thrown clean by him.

It's like the all-star matchup.

But he forgot that it wasn't the All-Star of the first two days, but the regular season, or the second half of the regular season.

In the second half of the regular season, there are no special circumstances that are gradually moving closer to the playoffs.

For example, Kobe Bryant's free throws in the first half of the regular season and the average free throws per game in the second half of the regular season were two days apart, and last year's Lakers also began to fall behind when the penalties were more stringent.

The time in the first quarter was enough to observe the scale of blowing penalties on both sides.

Donaghi doesn't play, the "school flower" doesn't go on stage, and the NBA whistle without spinach is not so magical.

Mo Wen gradually increased the intensity of the confrontation like a frog boiled in warm water, and Maddie wanted to find out, but unfortunately his body no longer allowed it.

If one position doesn't work, then change another.

But just as he moved, Mo Wen's exhalation also blew on his neck.

Before he could react, Mo Wen slapped the basketball in his hand.

Wade saw the outcome of Mo Wen's success in defending Maddie, expertly stuck his position, waited for the basketball to roll down, picked up the ball and rushed forward frantically before everyone could react.

His steps were still a little floating, but the man chasing him was Wesley, a short man.

Back on the offensive end, Mo Wen silently put away the aura of the assist king and patted the No. 66 jersey on his chest.

3+15+1+24+23, Ekka McCocho in one.

He's not at this moment — no, he's alone!

Maddie, who was blocked, wanted to pay tribute on the defensive end, but his strength was obviously not enough.

Strength itself is not Maddie's advantage, plus there is a hidden danger of back injury, it is not easy to exert force, Maddie is like a girl who strayed into a dark alley, and was pushed into the abyss step by step by Mo Wen, a bad uncle.

The other people of the rocket saw it in their eyes and were anxious, but they didn't come to help.

The Heat are now in addition to Wade, who has the worst three-point shooting rate in order to take over Mo Wen's authority, and is forced to practice with a three-point shooting rate of more than 3%.

In the case of opening up the formation, including an assist king, what is the difference between Na and Bai to send points?

Even with a sudden arch, Mo Wen easily came to the vicinity of the basket, leaning on Maddie so that he couldn't jump, and a big loop hook on the spot easily scored.

Bryant, who was far away in Los Angeles, was deep in thought when he saw his best friend being beaten like this.

Don't pretend Pierce, I know it's you!

In the next few rounds, the situation was basically the same, Maddie was disturbed by Mo Wen, and the shooting feeling was not there after a few rounds.

And Da Yao was resolutely rounded by the Heat, and could only be forced to pull out to catch the ball.

Da Yao's mid-to-long-range is already in shape, but the efficiency is only in the past, and too many mid-to-long-range shots will reduce his control over rebounds.

Don't look at Ao Fat is soft today.

But compared to the later "Candy Super Soft", he is still a hard product, especially when facing Yao Shark in the duel.

Thinking about the possibility that hundreds of millions of people will watch this game, he can't let himself keep pulling his hips and keep taking what he wants.

Mo Wen felt that Ao Fat's hardness had a lot to do with his inability to practice shooting.

Letting the center shoot a three-pointer is like letting a gentleman wear a woman's clothes, and once you accept this setting, the first thing you will question - why only women can wear skirts!

If Fat develops a shot that gives him the ability to solve problems in the middle range, with his character, he may really be able to play in the regular season with the style of play of "Fat Ran".

……

At halftime, the Heat not only tied the score, but even took a two-point lead before the end.

How do you describe his mood?

- "Children without umbrellas must run hard!" 》

In the midfield, he saw the tired Yao Mai, but he still refused to admit defeat, and he still developed a series of tactics with the theme of running.

The glory of the Rockets was frozen in the middle of the third quarter.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the direction of the rocket has switched from the NBA to the CBA, and after two rounds, it has become a "big A".

The fans' hopes were deceived by Xiao Fan, a trader.

After pulling it up and smashing the plate, the fans' hopes were all trapped.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Heat directly launched a wave of 17-0 shockwaves and emptied the timeout in Xiao Fan's hand.

In the last quarter, after 3 minutes, the score difference was about to enter the 2 era, so Xiao Fan took the substitute lineup and began to fight with Da Fan fairly, and used the substitute lineup to compete tactics.

However, halfway through the fight, Xiao Fan was a little anxious.

How dare you call this special a substitute?

Seeing that the score difference had a tendency to be further widened, Xiao Fan was forced to put all the other main forces except Da Yao and Maddie on it, and he barely recovered.

Mo Wen clocked in for three sections, and the data was quite "ordinary", only 20+10+10+4.

Originally, Mo Wen wanted to brush the steal to 5, but the back of the Rocket's guard line directly stopped playing with him, as long as he stood in place, the person in front of him did not control the ball, and the "unique brother" Alston occasionally controlled two times and dealt cards after halftime......

The Rockets' twin stars combined for 59 points tonight, and if you look at the data alone, the efficiency of the two even exceeds that of the Heat triumvirate.

But the Heat have more than just a big three, while the Rockets only have two cores inside and outside.

……

After returning from Houston and looking at the clouds of thunder brewing, Mo Wen judged that it was not suitable to go out today, so he simply fought with Big Catherine and Ruth in the room.

And the wind and waves in the outside world are gradually rising.

The clouds, which had been brewing for months, were finally about to start surging at the last moment.

"Why are you so hesitant, this is not a big bird I know?"

Sitting in the office of the Pacers' general manager, Reggie Miller walked past Carlisle, the team's owners, the Simon brothers, and under the watchful eyes of several other executives, walked up behind Larry Bird.

Seeing that Larry Bird still had his eyes closed and did not speak, Reggie Miller took out a cigar from the humidor on the table for him, cut it, and lit it.

"Think about how he killed us, last season... Wasn't the pain of last season's playoffs deep enough? ”

After becoming a signing commentator, Reggie Miller has rarely spoken in such a sincere tone.

Bird sighed, glanced at the ceiling, and then abruptly stood up and pressed Reggie Miller into his seat.

"OK, it's you who joins the person who is sitting in this seat right now, you tell me, what are you going to do now?"

"Unscrupulous means, for him!" Reggie Miller replied categorically.

"The team's salary is 62 million, and in order to get him, what you need to do is to control the salary expenditure at 33 million after the season, do you know the difficulty of this operation?" Larry Bird's voice was a little hoarse.

"I don't know, but I know you can do it."

"Ha, then let me tell you, we're going to send away a quarter of the players now in two days at the trade deadline, especially the good players or hopefuls, and replace them with a few expiring junks that no one wants, and a few poor or even no draft picks."

"We're going to give up hope for the season, ignore the expectations of the fans, and gamble everything we have for someone who didn't come, or even promised to come!"

"He deserves it! You should know that he can bring much more than that. ”

"He's worth it? Uh-huh, yes, he's worth it! Bird slapped the table hard.

"So let me tell you, these average or quality players have been rejected, and what about the group of people who want to take advantage of the fire to rob the bastards who only accept star players on their offers?"

"Send Jermaine away for someone who doesn't have any promises, tell me, are you still willing?"

This time, Miller didn't answer right away.

Xiao O, even if he has been plagued by injuries this season, even if his attendance was not particularly good last season, even if his performance in the playoffs has not been satisfactory.

He's still one of the league's top and scarce star insiders.

Not to mention that Xiao Ao is still the one he has watched rise step by step to the extent he is today.

"I do."

After a moment of silence, Miller looked up firmly.

"You're crazy, that's Jermaine."

"He's just an outside lineman who was raised by O'Neal, just like Hardaway and Kobe Bryant last season!"

"Do you really think he's a savior for the sake of a possible disbandment of the team? Without a good teammate, he would definitely not be able to play the performance! ”

The managers in the room blamed Miller.

Even the boss of the boss, Simon Brothers, couldn't help but cough twice.

"Reggie, there's no team that would give up an entire season, disband, or sell off core assets for a player who doesn't make any commitments, just to make a playoff break."

"But, he doesn't know anything!" Reggie Miller's voice was still unwilling.

"If you give me a promise, it's not impossible to send Jermaine away. But forgive me, I couldn't have gambled that much. Bird took a sip of his cigar with melancholy in his eyes.

The promulgation of the "Mo Clause" was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, almost preventing the possibility of reinforcement of all strong teams.

"Either way, I think we should give it a try." Miller continued to stick to his ideas.

After fighting Mo Wen head-on, he was well aware of the energy in Mo Wen's body.

"Don't be discouraged, Reggie, we still have a chance in the summer." Little Simon comforted him from the side.

Summer?

If you don't let that guy see enough sincerity and courage, and don't put enough moral pressure on him, why should people come to your small city?

"Trust me, one day you'll regret it."

A disappointed Reggie Miller sighed and left the office.

The trade deadline is getting closer, and all kinds of news are emerging.

Junk contracts, which used to be shunned by managers, are now highly sought-after when they expire.

The first to act was the Knicks, who still had one or two large contracts expiring in their hands with a salary of 120 million.

Hardaway is the biggest one, and the Knicks don't have the luxury of asking for salary space, and it would be good to take advantage of this wave to exchange a few players who can be used.

It's just that their vision is still as bad as ever...... They traded Hardaway's expiring contract for Francis, who looked like he could still play and actually had three years left on his contract.

The Magic, who are sitting on Cato and Hardaway's 22 million expiring contracts, are almost open cards to join the battle for Mowen.

Immediately after that, the Raptors traded Jalen Rose and a protected first-round pick from the Knicks for Antonio Davis, who is also about to expire, and they will not have to pay the luxury tax next season, and if they can clear Eddie Jones' big contract again, then maybe they can really sign Mo Wen.

The most surprising thing was the supersonics, who actually sent Lewis to the Bobcats for nothing.

Although Lewis has left a criminal record this year for drunk driving.

But no matter what, there aren't many big men in the league who shoot so accurately like him, and the most important thing is that he's still in the growth period.

2 first-round picks, 1 second-round pick, this requirement is basically out of the box.

The last few teams even gave the SuperSonics an extra second-round pick.

Lewis was blindsided when he learned the news. Originally, he thought that it would be Lei Allen who would go, after all, isn't a shooting player like him who can eat cakes the favorite of the assist party like Mo Wen?

But the management group of hypersonic apparently has his own ideas.

The Kings also decided not to re-sign Peja early, and Ricky Davis, who was fired daily by the Green Army, also became a trade chip for the team in exchange for an expiring garbage contract.

This year's offseason has been the busiest in recent years, and the existence of the salary cap has left these long-sleeved managers with no choice but to make a loss-making deal.

Everyone is gambling, but there is only one real winner.

Implying that there is no way, everyone wants to gamble.

As long as Mo Wen can play Nash's 8 success in the Suns, coupled with his defense, it is only a matter of time before he dominates.

Of course, the Heat also contributed a wave of news.

Pat Riley is rumored to be considering a trade for Mo Wen.

Not to mention, Riley really thought about it.

But he will still choose a 95% probability of winning a consecutive championship and a 65% probability of a dynasty

At the end of February, the Heat were unaffected by this wave of trades.

Because Mo Wen was about to leave, the Heat people still had a slight sense of urgency.

This day, it's cool for one day and one day less.

Waiting for Mo Wen to leave next season, it will be enough to choke if he wants to play so comfortably.

At the end of February, the Heat continued their winning streak.

It's been the beginning of a crazy and scorching March.
