Knock Knock –

"Sister, sister, are you in there?"

A crisp voice came from outside the room.

The little beauty's lazy eyelids jumped, and she opened her eyes a little confused.

The noon sun, even if you only peek through the gap in the curtains, can already get a general view of the scene in the room.

The man who fell asleep next to her woke up faster than her.

Seeing that the beautiful woman next to her woke up, Mo Wen reached out and scratched her chin, lifted the thin blanket, got out of bed, opened the curtain halfway and pushed the window open, letting in the sunlight with the sea breeze not far away, cleaning the smell in the room.

"What time is it, dear."

Little Catherine squinted, her voice a little hoarse.

"It's almost 10 o'clock."

After a brief period of distraction, the two of them came together in good spirits.

Oh no, they're both on business this morning!

Little Catherine is going to pick out an engagement dress for Haslem's girlfriend with Wade's wife, while Mo Wen is going to the airport to see off Da Yao, who is about to return to China.

Good news: neither of them missed their appointments;

The bad news: the good news is about to expire.

Christina came at the right time, and after Mo Wen got dressed and gave Catherine a good morning kiss with the smell of mouthwash, she took over the job of evaluating whether Catherine's clothes looked good or not.

A phone call activated the bodyguard and driver on standby, and Mo Wen finally arrived at the airport in time.

"Tsk, you kid, went crazy again last night? Young is young, but this is a critical moment in the playoffs, and you have to be modest. Da Yao smiled and winked at Mo Wen

"Go to Lingya, I've just slept in the cage, if it weren't for Xiaowei and a few of them, the labor and management would have sent you a phone call or not?" If the body is not empty, the heart is not empty.

Little Catherine rarely exploded last night, but her thin arms and legs, no matter how explosive the combat power is, it is at most on the same level as Big Catherine, and she can't force her full strength Mo at all, in other words, Xiao Mo is still full of Xiao Mo.

"Send me, you dare? Labor and management are the team leaders this year. Be careful that I put little shoes on you. ”

Da Yao doesn't know when he learned to crook his mouth, but it's a pity that there are no reporters around, otherwise the poor emoji library can be updated again this year.

"Captain? Oh, you still have to think about how to get out of the group stage, I said before, I will only play after the group stage, if you invite me over in advance because you lost too badly, don't blame me for not saving face for you. ”

Mo Wen didn't think about spending any more time back to China to train and play in the summer, and he still had a lot of things to do in the summer, such as changing teams, buying a house, moving, and vacationing......

He doesn't play hard every day to enjoy a better life when he retires in the future.

Moreover, as the organizer of the 08 Olympic Games, China naturally has a quota for participation, not counting this benefit, Dazhi won the championship with the Chinese team in the Asian Championships last summer.

But......

As the top brand in China now, Mo Wen enjoys the dividends and naturally has to pay, and a bronze medal is not enough for him to lie on the credit book.

Taking a step back, as the first person in the domestic sports world, it has not been a bit of a bump in the window that there has not been a national honor of sufficient weight to decorate the façade.

If you get too many trophies and rings, Mo Wen also wants to get some gold to wear them.

Besides, if he remembers correctly, this year's Dream Seven is led by the new "MVP", what is the strength...... That's pretty strong too.

However, the strength of Dream Seven is not reflected in their playing ability, but that they forced out the strongest Dream Eight team.

Mo Wen communicated with Harris, compromised, and left the opportunity to train and abuse vegetables in the group stage to his teammates, and he would take over the harvest when he got out of the group stage and reached the high-end game.

As for the previous training camp, Mo Wen symbolically announced a small injury to the outside world, his ability as a top point guard has been proven before, and Harris also ridiculed Mo Wen for not coming to the right, otherwise he will be like a big fan, without a little game experience, and he will gain weight by eating meat in China every day.

"Who do you look down on, if you don't have this Mo butcher, we won't be able to eat hairy pigs? You still don't feel at ease when you score 6 into 4 in the group stage, heh, do you look down on me or Harris? ”

Da Yao rolled his eyes, the previous Olympic bronze medal also raised his confidence, he is stronger than the NBA in the FIBA rules.

At present, because of the influence of Mo Wen, the Chinese team has started the trend of staying abroad in advance, coupled with the introduction of a more scientific training system, the strength of foreign players has improved, and it is much stronger than the national team in history.

Mo Wen shook his head with a smile, and did not agree with Da Yao's words, but he also did not refute either.

The national team has become stronger, but the Chinese team in this year's World Championships in history did not even enter the quarterfinals.

In FIBA, where life and death are divided in a single game, without absolute strength, there will be no stable victory, and maybe he really wants to fight fires.

sent Da Yao on the plane, and the United Arab Emirates, Sun Yue, and Tang Zhengdong, who were also in the national team squad, did not go back.

Several of them have already come to running tryouts all over the United States with the help of their agents.

Next year, the year after tomorrow, there may be more Chinese figures on the NBA court.

Counting Dazhi, who went back ahead of schedule, the future should be the happiest time for domestic fans.

And the more distant future may depend on whether more talents will emerge in this time and space where the atmosphere of basketball is more intense.

……

Back home.

The Schwarzenegger sisters were dazzled by the wedding dress with their fat fiancée on the shopping street, and they couldn't come back for a while.

After lunch, Mo Wen took a walk on the treadmill to eat, thinking about how to spend the afternoon.

The second round of the Heat ended too early, and the interval between the two rounds was just in time for the National Day with added materials (compensatory rest).

It is impossible for the veteran team to practice more, and they can only do it every other day to maintain the appearance.

The Heat don't need to change much right now, they just need to stay healthy.

Click-

The door to the gym was suddenly locked.

Mo Wen looked back...... Catherine and Ruth, dressed in yoga clothes, passed by him as if no one was around, walked all the way to the yoga studio at the end, and gently pulled down the blinds.

Ahem, I haven't practiced physical fitness for a long time... Ahh

……

"Hell, why are there so many, Miss Schwarzenegger doesn't just think of you like a big teddy bear these days, does she?"

Mo Wen steadied the steering wheel and smiled with a cigarette in his mouth.

Little Catherine really tried hard last night.

Two days ago, when he was free, Heuman sent him a bunch of scripts, and many film companies took a fancy to his "potential acting ability" (traffic) and sent him invitations to cooperate with Mo Wen in the offseason.

It is not uncommon for football stars to make movies in these years, Kobe Bryant, who was fishing some time ago, recently appeared in Hollywood studios with a smile, and became an NPC in a comic book TV series "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Catherine, who aspires to be a female writer, naturally took on the task of reviewing.

As a result, there is one of these scripts - a romance film, with a passion scene, and the name of the movie is even more interesting - "My Dead Jealous Girlfriend".

The plot, the name of the movie has already said the theme plot.

Probably out of empathy for the film's hapless "deceased girlfriend", Catherine once again tries to push her limits to hollow out Mo Wen.

However, it has been proven that no matter how deep the paddy field is, it cannot withstand the operation of heavy agricultural machinery.

"Oh crumbs, slow down, Ruth is hurt by you!"

……

"What's the big deal, isn't it just that you didn't win a game, you lost 20 points a game, didn't you expect it before? You don't really dream of winning, do you? ”

"What's the matter, hurry up, there are a lot of sisters in those old places recently...... Ah what, Savannah (Zhan's wife) is on the side? Ahaha......"

"Savannah, can you help me mail LeBron's gold card from the strip club?!"

"It's the ...... with the Cabaret lady printed on it and the concert hall painted on it"

Toot –

Melon looked at the hung up phone and was not annoyed, but showed a smug smile.

MVP？

It's not that he's playing with applause.

Seeing this, Milicic and Bosh tacitly moved their butts away from him.

Whoever says that the black one must be angry.

Others are at most dark-skinned, and this kid's blackness has probably been soaked into his bones.

Anthony didn't notice the reactions of the two, picked up the handle, and motioned for the two to continue.

Mo Wen and Wade didn't come out in order to prepare for the East Finals, Ajan was just swept badly and immediately "surrendered" to the enemy, Mo Weizhan was not there, he was the most successful person in the small group.

"Do you two have any plans for the future?" Melon asked casually with a slight twinkle in her eyes.

"Practice, what else can you do." Milicic said naturally.

"I'm talking about the future, not the holidays." Anthony shook his head, "My team has started to reach out to my agent, our first-round contract is about to expire, and it's time to talk about an early extension." ”

For the two guys in front of him, he is very greedy.

When it comes to the threat of the inside, the traditional big center is definitely still at the T0 level, but the only one in the entire league who can steadily inherit the name of the traditional big center is Da Yao, and taking a step back, Duncan, Hard, Brand, and sister-in-law are undoubtedly T1 level, although their performance under the basket is not as tough as the traditional big center, but they can also be taken out when needed.

Bosh and Milicic are about to step into the ranks.

Although the Nuggets' Camby and Martin are also inmissible insiders, neither brother has much ability to launch an offensive attack on their own in the low post.

"The contract should be renewed, the Bird clause is there, except for Mo and LeBron, our contracts should be about the same amount."

Bosh said in a steady tone.

"The team's record can't go up, aren't you in a hurry?" Anthony asked, somewhat surprised.

"If you play it yourself, what is there to be anxious about, practice slowly, and when your strength goes up, there will always be a day when you turn over." In the past few seasons, he lost to the Raptors, and he was enlightened by a psychiatrist every day, and Bosh's ideological realm has also improved a lot.

"I have a ring, I can make money, the rest, it doesn't matter." Milicic shook his finger beside him, and the void displayed the ring.

"Damn, you're embarrassed to say the mixed ring?"

"I've got a ring." Milicic did not defend himself, or his tone was one of disdain.

"Hmph, it's just a substitute ring." The melon has a hard mouth.

"I've got a ring."

"Fake, what else would you do besides?" The melon is a little out of the way.

"I made it to the second round last year, and I played a tie-break."

"That's thunder, otherwise it's up to you to ——?"

"I haven't been beaten by 58 points."

“……”

"MD, even if the labor and management die today, they will kill you!"

The cups and plates are messy, upside down, chickens fly and eggs are beaten, and the clouds and rain are resting......

In Anthony's plea for mercy at the helm of the wind, everything returned to tranquility.

"Haven't you all considered changing teams?"

Anthony sat on the floor leaning back on the couch, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Save it, if you want to recruit us, you don't want to see what Denver is" In fact, Bosh knew Anthony's idea from the beginning.

But Denver's location is somehow inferior to Cleveland.

Cleveland is a seven-hour high-speed drive to New York in the Great Lakes region, but Denver is the most inland city on the entire NBA team.

No matter what young people are, few of them will take the initiative to run inland, let alone in this country built on sea power.

"Aren't you afraid of losing all the time?"

Bosh raised an eyebrow, "Dwyane can do it, LeBron can do it, why can't we do it?" ”

"You don't understand, it's been three years, three years in a row, it's on my own, do you know how tired it is? Relying on personal strength, no matter how well you play, it is useless. Dwyanne couldn't make it to the first round without Odom and Grant, and LeBron couldn't make the playoffs without Reed......"

Anthony's face was full of loss.

Reaching the playoffs three times in three years is already a success for a rookie, but happiness often depends on comparison.

Mo Wen is about to win 3 championships, Wade is about to win 2 championships, and Ajan's MVP ......

Anthony's heart is very high, he has always believed that he is the best being, and when he sees his peers surpassing him one after another, he even throws himself away.

The torture and pain brought to him by that huge psychological gap was really not the slightest bit.

And seeing the contrast between the Heat's easy success and the difficult and sad defeat he experienced, the contrast brought by it made him doubt himself several times.

You say success, is it really that hard?

……

Cowboy Showdown West, Arizona or Dallas, who is the real cowboy? 》

"Gathering is a lump*, scattering is a sky full of stars - who is responsible for the fall of Nowitzki, Nash, and Finley? 》

"Experts predict that the Suns will win 20% more than the Mavericks in the Finals, which is the heyday of point guards!" 》

"Kidd, Marbury, Peja, a number of big-name stars have expressed their desire to be members of the Heat dynasty!" 》

"NCAA three-point king Redick shows assist talent in tryout, draft expectations adjusted to the top three, will he be the next Mo?" 》

Entering the division semifinals, there are fewer games, but the outside world is paying more attention to the NBA day by day.

However, in this sea of newspapers and magazines, there is one team that seems to have been ignored all along.

"Hell, did we make it to the East? Why can't I find a report about a piston? ”

In the hotel in Miami, Rashid looked at the newspapers and magazines in front of him, and there was no report that said they weren't, but for some reason he always felt more and more depressed and irritable.

Billups picked up a newspaper and almost stopped him at first glance.

"The Heat team has a prize call, design the championship ring of your imagination, and the top three in the final selection can get a ticket to the front row of the finals!" 》

In the eyes of some media, the series, which has not yet begun, is actually over.

Even if some media are expecting them, they are only expecting how many games they can last.

The Pistons won 64 games in the regular season this season and are in the top 20 (tie) for the entire NBA history. In other years, it is a proper favorite to win the championship.

But this year, it's the 75-win Heat standing in front of them.

After eight playoff games, the average point difference per game is nearly double that of the regular season.

The most optimistic Detroit media also only hopes that the Pistons can drag the series and then rely on the physical advantage of the prime players to create miracles.

And in the recent ESPN expert poll, none of the six guests and five columnists won the series against the favored Pistons.

The reason is also very incomprehensible -

The Pistons' regular season wins were won by their sharp offense, and this year's playoffs, especially in the second round, they gave up the offense they had practiced all season and restarted defense.

Although they still won in the end, if they want to rely on the offensive and defensive skills they showed in the second round to fight the Heat, who may be the best team in history... It's better to wash up and go to bed early.

"Seriously, you're not bad, you've been in the East Final for three years in a row, and you should be content."

That night, in a bar in Miami, Mo Wen raised a glass to comfort a few old guys.

"The world is fair, although you lost the chance to advance, but you got the vacation."

"You know, everyone has the right to be happy, but only a few people have the ability to be happy, think about your happiness along the way?"

"Really, if you listen to me, just look at it, except for the Mexican gangsters and me, no one will be going to dig out their hearts and lungs for you these days."

Mo Wen tried to influence this group of old teammates with sincerity, but all that responded to him was the old punches and swear words of this group of bastards.

On May 23, the Heat Pistons took the lead in the East Finals.

Kick-off in every sense of the word.

From the first quarter, under the management of three inactive referees, the two teams began to compete fiercely from the jump ball.

Why didn't Sanders' offensive tactics work well in the playoffs?

It's because he miscalculated the intensity of the confrontation in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Those so-called sophisticated offensive tactics are based on the fact that there is room for implementation.

In the 10 years of the beginning of the century, the theme of the east has always been the grinding position.

And if there are too many positional battles, the whistle will naturally be relaxed.

After all, once you fall into the position, the game will definitely be full of all kinds of confrontations, and if you blow the penalty according to the standard rulebook, the referee will directly weld the whistle to his mouth and breathe through the whistle.

And once the confrontation rises, those so-called tactics can only do subtraction.

"Eh, in the first kick of the opening game, O'Neill and Rashid were entangled together. It seems that the Pistons are still using last year's strategy. Coming up is about to come up with their signature ferocious defense, and then it's up to the Heat and the referees to respond. In last year's Eastern Conference Finals, if I remember correctly, I came up and made more than 30 whistles and more than 40 free throws. ”

"The anger on both sides of that game is really big, the referee in charge of that game looks a little exaggerated, but he can't help himself, if he hadn't been in the middle to blow the penalty, the two sides might have fought a long time ago!"

"Walker was knocked down, the referee didn't say it, it seems that they still think it's a normal confrontation intensity, ha, then today's game is good."

"Billups fell a few times today, I don't know why, every time the defensive intensity goes up, the players who don't know about the defense always fall inexplicably."

"Hamilton runs along the baseline, Prince receives the ball, is he going to make a shot after breaking through two steps? No, it's a sway, Hamilton catches the ball, Wade suddenly comes around... Raw robbery, steal! ”

"Passing, running, passing, running...... It's too bad the pistons are emptying the bottom corners again. ”

"Walker's pressure-free three-pointer, hollow into the net, it's time for the Pistons to call a timeout again. They didn't succeed in shouting about playing tactics, but the Heat, who have always claimed that they rely on the personal strength of their stars, have played quite well during this time. ”

"The first quarter is over, 33:24, and the Heat temporarily lead by nine points,"
