basketball never sleeps

Chapter 167 Teammates sacrifice to the sky, with boundless mana. (1)

4:2 solved the Pacers, and the Heat finally took a break.

Taking into account the players' injuries, Riley changed the original training plan to a tactical class.

There are no new arrangements, the main purpose is to pull the players into the arena for supervision, so as to avoid the situation where O'Pang and Wade fooled around before the start of G3 in the semifinals.

In Riley's view, if they hadn't fooled around, G3 could have won, and their subsequent injuries might not have occurred.

After all, it is not particularly difficult to sweep the Pacers with the strength of the Heat.

But it was because of their lack of self-discipline that they were injured and their playing status was affected, and the team wasted two extra games in vain.

If Mo Wen hadn't stood up continuously, the Heat's series might have been suspended.

一个系列赛4场三双，两场20+三双（G2、G5），一场30+三双（G6），一场震古烁今的50+三双（G4）

场均27.3分、11助攻、9.3篮板、3.2抢断、0.8盖帽，投篮命中率49%，三分命中率43%，罚球命中率92%。

In this era, Mo Wen's data is simply a dimensionality reduction blow to experts from all walks of life.

Some people have always said that Mo Wen's playing style is too soft and not tough enough, and he spends too much time hesitating when breaking through, just like a lone wolf like Marbury.

But he just wins and puts up good numbers.

And he's not the only outlier.

A certain Zonda in the west is also killing all directions.

"Three-point shot - goal scored! 42 points!"

"Congratulations to Nash for becoming the second player to achieve a 40-point triple-double in the playoffs this season! It is also the fifth player in NBA history to achieve this achievement in the playoffs."

"With 4 minutes left in overtime, Nash still has a chance to hit Mo Wen's 50-point triple-double record!"

"I think I need to appease my tired heart. It is really unimaginable that we will see such crazy performances continuously when the playoffs enter the second round and the level of confrontation has increased sharply."

In the roar of the on-site commentary, the center of the noisy route seemed to press the mute button, and people's eyes were all focused on the man with long hair fluttering all over his body full of determination and confidence.

Obviously not a stranger, but stranger than a stranger.

In the first five games of the series between the Suns and the Mavericks, Nash averaged 42 points, 30 assists and 12 rebounds in 7 minutes per game.

The shooting percentage is as high as 55%, the three-point shooting percentage is 42%, and the free throw shooting percentage is 96%. Not to mention the 180 club, his total shooting percentage is higher than his height.

Compared with the miracle created by a newcomer like Mo Wen who is still improving, Nash, a mature man in his thirties, is even more incredible.

What was Nash's previous playoff level in the Mavericks?
The best performance was 2001+19.5 in 8.8.

It stands to reason that this kind of quasi-superstar with proper performance can be played in the playoffs, but if you look at his defensive contribution that year——

minus!

And how good was his defense in his best defensive year in four playoff seasons with the Mavericks?
0!

This is a magnet, it helps opponents absorb iron on the field, and helps teammates absorb pot off the field.

For a long time, once the Mavericks lost, unless Nash performed particularly well, they would set the tone at the meeting after the game.

Dirk misses the shot - let's drive Nash!
Finley's breakthrough is too soft - let's drive Nash!
There is something wrong with Nelson's tactics-let's drive Nash!
It's okay to win the game, as long as you lose, it's right to open Nash.

Others who are 1 meters play the No. 9 position as the main player and the No. 1 position as a guest.

And Nash is the main back-up position, and he plays the No. 1 guest position.

If he hadn't left the Mavericks, he might still have the title of [Basketball Benzema].

However, it is such a player who is fired every day.

Returning again, the defense is still the same, but with an offense they have never seen, the Mavericks were blown upside down.

Past blame and past grievances have become the best fuel.

Let everyone see clearly that the Mavericks' poor defense is really not his fault alone.

After 5 minutes, overtime ends.

132:127, the Suns won the game by 5 points.

Nash still failed to complete the 50-point triple-double feat, but 45+13+13 is enough for him to engrave his name in the history of the Mavericks.

The Mavericks once lost because of him, and now they still lose because of him.

Life and death battle Cuban as the boss can not get cold feet.

Sitting on the sidelines is torture.

Seeing Nash and Dirk, the two former golden partners scoring high points, he sat in his seat like an island female teacher hatching an egg, switching back and forth between the current and vibration modes.

After the game, Dallas fans booed loudly.

But everyone knows who the boos are for.

In the post-match press conference, Nash not only paid tribute to his good brother Dirk, but also thanked Cuban emphatically.

"I thank him sincerely. Without Mark (Cuban), I would not be where I am today. He made me face up to the energy I have, and let me understand that respect is earned by myself."

Don't ask why "good boy" Nash would say such a thing. If he is not angry, can he explode from beginning to end in this series?
Cuban has not been seen since the game, but according to sources familiar with the matter, the owner's office was renovated two days later.

The Suns won the Mavericks, and the Spurs also struggled to win the victory from the Sonics after seven fierce games.

Under the situation of Milicic's suspension, the Supersonics succeeded in several three-point bets.

It's not that Ray Allen continues to be superb, but that the role players of the Supersonic Speed ​​broke out like a relay.

Because the Supersonics have not produced results before, the management made a plan to dismantle the team and rebuild around Milicic before the start of the playoffs.

Of the 12 players on the Sonics roster, 4 were clearly notified that they would not stay next season, and 2 were contract extensions that the Sonics did not mention.

In order to make a living in the future, each of these guys showed a high degree of enthusiasm, helping the Supersonics to drag until Milicic's comeback.

Milicic also lived up to expectations. In the case of his G6 teammates being inaccurate, he and Duncan, who had degraded athletic ability after plantar fasciitis, had a mutual explosion, dragging the series into the tiebreaker.

Unfortunately, facing the seasoned Spurs, they still fell short.

Ray Allen was fouled when defending Parker in the fourth quarter, and he was fouled.

They were originally a group of young people with little experience in the playoffs, and the hot-blooded fans must have a leading role to be passionate. Ray Allen was sent off, and Milicic was watched dead by Duncan. Naturally, the game was not unexpectedly defeated by the Spurs accept.

The Sonics management secretly wiped their sweat.

Fortunately, fortunately, the team almost made it to the Western Conference Finals.

Otherwise, this team may not be able to dismantle...

So far, the second round of the East and West has finally come to an end.

However, the discussion about the second round is not over.

Especially the topic of Mo Wen and Nash was frequently mentioned by major sports media.

In the past, people described a point guard as a magician, which meant bragging to some extent.

But these two people really did what the magician did again.

What is the most impressive achievement of a magician?
In his rookie season, he scored 42+15+7 when Abdul-Jabbar was injured, leading the Lakers to win the finals and win the FMVP.

Coincidentally, in the past series, both Nash and Mo Wen broke out when their teammates were injured.

Mo Wen's data exploded after his teammates were absent in the fourth game, while Nash was injured and retired after halfway through the first game, the team's second scoring point.

So, the truth is-

It's not magic to play with top point guards, but magic!
Teammates sacrifice to the sky, with boundless mana.

Master Mo: You don’t think you’re very humorous, do you?
···
As the Eastern Conference finals approached, Miami also became lively.

Many people can't understand why a sporting event can boost the economy of a city.

It's just a basketball game, is it really that attractive?
In fact, in European and American countries, apart from those cities with iconic industries, such as Los Angeles with Hollywood, San Francisco with Silicon Valley, and New York with Wall Street, the most representative of a city's business card is the local sports club.

The domestic sports atmosphere is poor, and there is not much room for imagination. If you force your imagination, it can probably be compared to Jay Chou holding a cheap concert in Shanghai.

That is to say, there is no online ticket sales yet, otherwise——

Ticket Grabbing Software: Damn, there is a hook!

Among other things this year, the number of flights to Miami from major Asian airports has increased significantly.

Mo Wen's performance in the second round of the playoffs not only conquered the fans in the United States, but the entire Asian sports fans were almost crazy.

Mo Wen originally wanted to rest for two days, but interview invitations from various media bombarded Xiuman's mobile phone almost around the clock, making it impossible for him to carry out a lot of work.

As a last resort, Mo Wen could only spare half a day every day to accept exclusive interviews from various media after Xiuman's careful selection.

Of course, Mo Wen couldn't be idle for the rest of the time.

There are too many people from the country.

The national team joins in the fun, Arab League, who will enroll next year, Xue Yuyang, who is planning to return to the Nuggets (the Mavericks traded Xue Yuyang to the Nuggets after the draft), and Tang Zhengdong, who is planning to participate in the election this year.

Not to mention the other small things, a few big officials from the city came, but Dayao was still lying in Houston after the operation.

It would be fine if Dazhi didn't do the same thing as before, but he is still arguing over there now, so he can't help Mo Wen stop these things.

The rest time, which was supposed to be rested, was filled with various schedules.

After all kinds of entertainment, his face almost hardened from laughing.

Mo Wen originally wanted to wait for the guys from Detroit to come, take them for a walk on the golden beach, take them across the water first, and see Miami's "defense line".

As a result, they didn't even have a chance to meet before the game.

"That kid is really rich, he doesn't even recognize his big brothers."

In the locker room, looking at Mo Wen's handsome face on the screen, Da Ben smiled viciously.

"It's okay, young man. It's weird to keep a low profile after making some achievements. He should not be arrogant. How can we old guys teach him to be a man?"

Billups stretched and stretched his muscles and bones with various stretching movements.

It has been eight days since the Pistons swept the Celtics 4-0. Compared with the tired and tired Heat, they are much more relaxed.

If they don't play games and rely on team training all the time, they don't know if they can maintain their state.

　Sorry for the lateness, last night I really felt that I am going to cultivate immortality, my body is uncomfortable and my brain is still in the bottleneck period, this money is really hard to earn...
