basketball never sleeps

Chapter 298 This is our house!

"Supersonic speed is enough!"

"Win More! Win More! Win More! You are my God!"

"Supersonic Champions!"

The balance in the timer is getting less and less, and the KeyArena has entered a carnival moment.

Seattle, which is always known for its tranquility, once again saw a riot today. Jerseys were pulled out of shape, hats flew into the sky, and fat guys and beauties shook their heads...

The passion burst out by the daily suppressed white-collar and blue-collar workers is no less than that of the wild and abstract Floridians.

Payton was a little indignant at first, because the fans were not so happy and noisy when they won the finals at home in 96. But then he figured it out, because the game they won was a battle of dignity. Before that, the Bulls defeated the Supersonics 3:0, and that round of the finals had essentially lost its suspense.

And in the current finals - at home - easily crushing the team - winning by a large margin, although only a quarter of the championship fragment was obtained, in the eyes of most fans the championship is already within reach.

Loans must be taken out!

drop--

The red light comes on.

98:113
The Supersonics won Game 15 of the Finals with a 1-point lead.

This is the first time that the Supersonics have won Game 1 of the Finals. The 79 Supersonics only lost one game, which was Game 1.

只上场了28分钟的莫闻20投12中，三分7中5，罚球6中6，全场36分10助攻7篮板2抢断2失误，真实命中率高达76%，又一次刷爆了Excel。

The media have become somewhat numb. In the past playoffs, when a player scored 30+ double-doubles, even if it was done in garbage time, it was like a Japanese toilet in the forest, which was clean and sweet.

The high scores in the finals are worth writing about in great detail, and I wish they could be written into the list of the gods and framed.

But Mo Wen has been doing this since entering the playoffs. Compared with the regular season, not only has his production efficiency not declined, but it has improved.

It is said that the playoffs are full of twists and turns, each round is more intense than the last. However, Mo Wen's uphill road is like a visually strange slope. It only looks like he is climbing a slope, but in reality he is sliding forward even when the gear is in neutral.

更夸张的是除了莫闻外超音速竟然还有五人上双，米利西奇16分、雷阿伦15分、泰森12分、沃特森10分、达米恩10分。

He can kill so many enemies and still give his teammates some food. What kind of magical power is this?
"After tonight, Michael Dunk will no longer be the most perfect guard on the planet. Mo showed us what a truly perfect core looks like. If Mo is put in the former Bulls, I believe he can accomplish what Michael Dunk did. But if Michael Dunk is put in this SuperSonics, maybe they can still win, but they definitely can't win so easily."

Barkley, who had previously expressed his optimism about the Cavaliers, criticized the Cavaliers during halftime and then smoothly changed his team and rejoined the "Momen".

Speaking of which, Danzi's statistics in the first finals were not inferior to Mo Wen's 36 points and 12 assists, which were also exaggerated, but the Bulls lost that game, and except for Jopi, no one else on the Bulls scored in double digits.

So Dandan is lame.

After using Dan Zi as a stepping stone to support Mo Wen, Barkley did not forget about James.

再次在末节上演铁血精神的阿詹将自己的数据抬升至23分8篮板6助攻1抢断1盖帽，如果不细品这小罐茶还是有滋有味的，但拨开这表层的泡沫再看，11个罚球7个失误和35%的投篮命中14%的三分命中率，就变成了九块九包邮还有得赚的绿化带沫子。

"On this 4,000-foot court, LeBron can break through, shoot, pass, rebound, and defend... Compared to Kidd, who also led his team to the finals, he is already a more comprehensive and better player in his fourth year. He can do almost everything. Unfortunately, his opponent, Mo, only needs to do one thing as usual - dominate."

The moment the game ended, James, as always, played his fine tradition and went straight to the player tunnel...the video room.

He started to build up his mental strength from the end of the third quarter, but what kind of fortress can be built on the ruins?

The team was completely suppressed by Mo Wen, and was provoked by Mo Wen and then beaten by Mo Wen, resulting in a big loss. He didn't dare to think about how the fans who watched today's game would evaluate him.

Although there are at least three games left, he doesn't think he can perform well.

Because he found that the team's mid-term signings were not a reinforcement against the Supersonics. Bibby's role was to consume Mo Wen, but today Mo Wen didn't even play for 30 minutes before he went offline.

Drag it to six gods? The surrender button is still gray, but the base crystal is already smoking.

It's useless to rely on Bibby to bring in Webber. It's better to keep his beloved Gooden. At least Gooden's athletic ability allows him to defend when he is called upon, and his rebounding protection is also better.

Webber, who was teased by James, also realized that he came to the wrong place. He was thinking about the fact that Ewing missed the last chance to win the championship because he was too shameless to cling to O'Neal, so he shamelessly became the little emperor's younger brother in the identity of the old king.

Now he has lost his dignity off the court, and he has to be called on when he goes on the court. The team can't win, and his fragile knees keep warning him with pain... The King has become Uncle Wang (losing).

In the post-match interview, Mo Wen saved face for A-Jan. He did not drag A-Jan down but focused on praising his teammates and sharing the glory.

A group of newcomers in the finals did not have many performance distortions due to nervousness throughout the game. They shot when they should, shot when they should, and passed the ball when they should. Compared with their teammates in the hell dungeons they played daily, they were simply angels.

"Dak will not be the second Tim. He has more possibilities than Tim. His passing is better, his three-point shooting is better, and he is more passionate. It is not me who made him successful, but my existence that prevented him from fully displaying his talents. If we don't win the championship this year, I owe him that."

"Didn't you see Ray's sacrifice? He was proud enough to compete with Kobe. Now for the championship, he is willing to give up the privileges of a top-paid star and run and fight like a blue-collar player. I don't see the data, I only see a great person."

"Tyson is the second best center in the league. Aunt Winnie (Tyson's mother), your son's performance today was fucking amazing!"

"I see myself in Guy..."

"..."

The guys next to him were all teary-eyed from praising him so much... They wanted to pour out their heart and soul right there and then. It was just that Mo Wen didn't like to make trouble, otherwise the Sonics locker room would have been filled with the bleating of sheep.

It was obvious that the game depended on Mo Wen as the C, so they were nervous at the beginning. However, after Mo Wen took the lead and gained an advantage, he fed them all kinds of simple balls and even blew up the opponent's core in person. If they can't play like this again, they can only say that they don't deserve to eat basketball food.

……

On June 6, China's Olympic ambassador and world-renowned basketball star Mo Wen met with California Governor and Hollywood star Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger in Seattle.

"Dad, honey, that's enough, there are no reporters around, why don't you just shake hands?" little Catherine shouted from the side.

Mo Wen and the governor grinned, withdrew their hands together in tacit understanding, and shook them at the same time.

The kid (Lao Deng) is quite strong.

"You little brat, I heard from Maria that Tina seems to have some dangerous thoughts about you, so you'd better be honest. Tina is only 16 years old, do you understand?" The governor opened his mouth slightly and whispered without moving his lips.

Mo Wen nodded. He understood. He understood it very well. When he first met little Catherine, she was also 16 years old. Ahem.

Mo's father and mother flew in two days ago, and the lakeside mansion became unusually lively.

But what was even more lively was the outside media. It was the second time the two in-laws met, but it was the first time they met publicly in the eyes of the media.

The heat of the Supersonics winning Game 1 of the Finals lasted less than half a day before it was covered by this gossip news, because whether it is Chinese or American parents meeting each other means a countdown to good things.

The governor's son-in-law is about to change from a nickname to a respectful title.

Mo Wen has never fully realized his own influence. Since he only thinks of basketball when he closes his eyes every night and doesn’t have any messy dreams, he knows that he is essentially just a lousy basketball player.

It is only because he plays well and relies on the public's love that he has such a considerable influence.

It's quite remarkable, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal. After all, he didn't help the development of science and technology, didn't promote social progress, and didn't promote world peace. From time to time, he used his influence to exchange for some money and some leeks.

But that's just his perspective.

In the eyes of domestic fans, Napoleon's sleeping lion metaphor is still popular. When China's GDP had not yet surpassed Japan, Mo Wen had already become the Lion King of the NBA and even led the Chinese men's basketball team to win the country's first world-class major ball championship.

In the United States, where entertainment is everything, Mo Wen is tall, handsome and exotic. He is worth billions at a young age, is self-disciplined and self-respecting, has no bad habits or negative news, can play some music, is about to dominate the NBA, and is a super idol with many buffs.

Add to that the governor, a prominent figure.

Just listening to the noise from his cell phone, Mo Wen felt it was even more exciting than if he had won the championship.

However, Mo Wen did not want to explain anything to the outside world. He did not want to expose his private life. Little Catherine did not want to be a star and did not need to be exposed.

Tina has a dream of becoming a star, but she is destined not to be able to enjoy this kind of traffic in her lifetime.

However, old Deng, who was busy with his re-election campaign, accepted several phone interviews and took the opportunity to show off his reputation.

The two families stopped urging the couple to get married, as the date had already been set during the All-Star Game at the beginning of the year. However, the two families did discuss a lot of wedding matters.

Let little Catherine keep pinching her fingers in front of Mo Wen.

"It seems like you've been sleeping together every day for half a year. Don't delay it too long. I don't want to see my daughter-in-law getting married with a big belly." Mo's mother pointed at Mo Wen after dinner.

Mo Wen was not joking. In the United States, it is normal to let children serve as flower girls at weddings, but in the minds of Chinese people, getting married with a baby is a bit bad.

There was indeed no time in the regular season. I have to say that sometimes I really envy Bosh for having a half-year vacation every year.

Isn't it a win in life to take a long vacation with top salary?

……

In Game 2 of the finals, Mo Wen came to the locker room with congratulations along the way.

Last time, Mo Wen went to the All-Stars alone with his family, so his teammates also just learned about Mo Wen's "marriage news". Mo Wen was too lazy to explain to them, so they just accepted it. If he really explained it, he didn't know what would happen if the rumor spread outside.

As it is natural, the game benefits for special days are here again.

It stands to reason that there should be no special treatment in the finals, but everyone knows Mo Wen’s personal ability, and the ball possession that the 88-point man can’t handle?
Therefore, in addition to catching dunks, open shots and mismatches, players will think of passing the ball to Mo Wen if they are not very confident.

It's always better to play it safe.

Mo Wen didn't want to confirm the rumors with action, but as he said, (the ball) is here.

A Zhan, who was relieved yesterday because Mo Wen’s wedding gossip diverted traffic, found that he was happy too early.

If the Mo Wen on the field was the Armored Titan walking on two legs, then this battle was a bit like a strange giant.

The armor (discipline) has been removed, but the ability to act and the desire to explode are even more terrifying.

Fortunately, the Cavaliers did not lose in vain.

Mike Brown reviewed the previous game and made targeted adjustments based on the suggestions given by the coaching staff and foreign aid Popovich.

He intentionally had the players slow down the offensive tempo and increase the screen and pulling in positional battles, aiming to give James a good space environment and distribution path before receiving the ball and attacking, while increasing the fight for frontcourt rebounds and reducing the possibility of being counterattacked.

The burden of shot distribution has been increased on Reed and Bibby, hoping that they can provide more three-pointers within their limited salary.

Then cooperate with the referee who studies "Fairness" after the last game.

The Cavaliers held on tenaciously for most of the quarter.

However, at 9 minutes and 27 seconds, Mo Wen unreasonably stood on the Supersonics logo and hit a somewhat smooth long three-pointer.

The knights' teeth, which had been gnashing for half a beat, finally broke.

Director, no, director, this is too fake, isn't it?
For this arc, are you sure it is hollow into the frame instead of penetrating into the frame?
The most interesting thing in the director's footage was not the disbelief of the Cavaliers players, nor the shocked screams of the fans on the sidelines.

It was today's referee, Bavetta, the oldest active referee.

The old man's eyes were initially on the basketball. After the basketball landed, he looked at Mo Wen with some uncertainty, then trotted two steps towards the technical desk, trying to confirm with the statistician and linesman.

After finally confirming it, Bavetta still looked up at the big screen with concern.

There was no replay on the big screen, only a close-up of his head.

Oops.

Before Bavetta called the call for a flagrant foul, the director promptly showed the basketball falling into the net from the backboard perspective.

In front of the TV, an NCAA Southern Division MVP from Cleveland sighed.

The standard basketball hoop is really big, but I can shoot in but not dunk.

This three-pointer was like a prelude.

Mo Wen dribbled the ball forward again, and the Cavaliers players' alertness towards Mo Wen's ball contact and shooting pre-aiming actions increased by a level.

As one gains, the other loses, which also causes their horizontal attention to drop to a lower level.

In short, in a shooting game, one person cannot use the scope to shoot two shots with their backs to the basket at the same time.

Mo Wen, who seized the opportunity, transformed himself into Tang Monk and bowed to the Buddha whenever he saw him.

He continuously created open mid-range space, using a standard move from the same mold, making 3 of 3 shots, effortlessly.

The Sonics players, whose number of shots decreased, were not idle either. Their excess energy gave them plenty of room to run on the defensive end and occupy a negative position.

The Cavaliers, without a comfortable shooting space, lost power and did not score for more than two minutes.

Milicic made a buzzer-beating three-pointer, allowing the two teams to open up a 13-point gap in the first quarter.

Mo Wen made 4 of 4 shots at the end of the quarter, pushing his single-quarter score to 21 points.

George Karl, who was preparing to return to the commentary industry, looked at his nephew on the screen and cried out of sympathy.

Yes, yes, yes, where there are saints, there are thieves; where there are mountains, there are abysses; where there is a huge gap between heaven and earth, there will be bloody storms; I can’t escape, and neither can you!
The difference of 13 points is not much, and it is even less worth mentioning when compared to his personal 21 points in a single quarter.

So should we give up the defensive line and prevent Mo Wen from scoring high points, or should we hold on to the defense and fight for that glimmer of hope for victory?

Mike Brown didn't struggle because the decision was made for him.

"He scored 60 points on the Mavericks when he was 22 years old." James showed his mathematical acumen.

Bibby never thought that James was so smart, 23>22, high school students’ brains are just very useful!
Mo Wen, who came back in the second quarter and began to enjoy the treatment of an emperor, did not strike while the iron was hot. When he got his touch in the regular season, three people also left him wide open. He still shot even when he couldn't see the basket at the critical moment. However, he still had to unite for the rest of the time.

Mo Wen divided the fruits like the kids in kindergarten. After each circle he found that his attractiveness decreased, he would hit the ball. His tactics were a little stupid, but the effect was outstanding.

Even though the Sonics' outside shooting was sluggish, they still opened up a 6-point lead.

At halftime, the difference between the two teams was close to 20 points again.

The second half of G2 seemed different from the muddled second half of G1, yet they also seemed to end up in the same place.

Bibby's touch was not good, and Reed was closely guarded by Ray Allen. Mo Wen directly asked Tyson to keep James outside the reasonable collision zone.

After not scoring in the half quarter, James started trying mid-range shots and three-pointers when he was left open.

The cold feeling even affected his free throw shooting in the final quarter.

In the final quarter, a 23-point lead could not give the Supersonics a % sense of security.

Therefore, after staying on the court to maintain the score difference for 2 minutes, Mo Wen used the three-guard tactic that the two top teams in the future would love to end the game.

The old man who had been on the bench for a season finally waited for his final moment.

When Mo Wen, Ray Allen, and Payton stood on the court at the same time, they high-fived each other in order of age, and then stood in a row—

No. 3, No. 34, No. 66.

Inheritance has a concrete expression at this moment.

This is our house!
Would it be awkward without BGM?
No, the cheers and applause of the fans at the scene will drown out everything.

all.

Stern, who was worried about the ratings of the finals, also stood up and applauded.

He knew that there would be another shining photo in the history books of the NBA, and at least this finals would definitely not be a failed finals.

only……

On the other side, James had a very ugly expression on his face. It was unclear whether he was angry at the Sonics for treating him as a background so unscrupulously, or he was anxious because of the increasingly short time.

Stern withdrew his gaze and sighed.

They were in a hurry and they all ran away.

It’s still far, the road ahead is still long.

That night, the Supersonics beat the Cavaliers 110:97.

Ajax scored 20 points in the game, and Mo Wen scored slightly higher than him (in the two games) today, 45 points.

Fortunately, everyone seems to have ignored this numerical comparison, Mo Wen's marriage news, Payton's retirement, the Sonics' 2:0 lead in the championship, and the century-long bet that is about to end with a winning streak...

Everyone seems to have become accustomed to someone's failure.

But this kindness is a little pale and the compassion lacks the slightest warmth.

The Sonics locker room after the game.

"You know, it would be great if I were ten years younger."

"You were ten years younger, I would only stand across from you."

"Believe it or not, at that time, crossing you was like crossing the road in the early morning?"

"Little Gary, see, your father's nose has grown longer again."
