basketball never sleeps

Chapter 45
"The bad boys are back, and we won the Lakers' home court!"

"Hey, listen to Arnold, the Pistons will definitely bring back a championship to Detroit, how about a bet, once the Pistons win the championship, you send me a picture, uh, you will wear a Pistons uniform and drink at your table Sip our Michigan Furnas drink and munch on a cheese pie."

The female governor of Michigan, Granholm, shouted to the then California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on a radio show.

"Bet? Of course, no problem, because the final winner must be Los Angeles, and Los Angeles will win." Schwarzenegger is also full of confidence in the Lakers. "Just change the bet. If you win, I will put Brad Pitt How about sending it to your governor's office?"

"Are you serious?" There was excitement in Holm's voice.

"Of course—it was a joke." Schwarzenegger chuckled.

"If the Lakers win the championship, I'll give you a delicious California meal, including California wine, asparagus, strawberries and In-N-Out (a famous California fast food restaurant) Burgers, but you also eat in a Lakers uniform ,How about it?"

"No problem." Granholm agreed.

It is not uncommon for mayors and governors to stand for their city's playoff teams, just as some foreign leaders like to appear in their national team's games, all for votes.

In G2 of the finals, Schwarzenegger also brought his family to watch.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is less than 20 kilometers from the Staples Center, and there are many stars who come to join in the fun.

The old Nicholson who has been a fan for thousands of years, Stallone with his daughter, Xiao Lizi, Sister Ka, Dr.dre, two doggs, Brad Pitt and his wife, Nicole Kidman with his daughter... Well, the people around the sidelines are either celebrities or famous ladies. If there is a white headscarf, Hollywood may have to go out of business tomorrow.

During the warm-up stage of the players, Mo Wen noticed that there were quite a lot of Chinese stars on the sidelines. Yesterday there was only one Long Ge. Today, several people who have tried Hollywood are present. Fa Ge, Gong Huang, and the scumbag Li , International Chapter.

Mo Wen greeted them politely, but the warm-up environment before the game was not suitable for interaction. He thought that if he asked for their autographs after the game, wouldn't there be gifts for his cousins ​​at home?
Under the supervision of the governor, the shameless Lakers played a satisfying defense in the first half.

O'Neal and Kobe also maintained their stable offensive performance and scored 13 and 15 points respectively, but the rest of the Lakers did not recover.

Malone is still Malone playing, and Payton is still Payton playing.

Luke Walton, who didn't play much in the last game, became the surprise player of the Lakers in this game. He has average confrontation, average shooting, and average skills, but he has a high ball quotient and first-class passing level. He played 13 minutes on the court. Sent out a terrifying 5 assists.

It's a pity that the Sharks were able to catch the ball today, but they didn't have the terrifying offensive efficiency of the last game.

The Lakers' ability to take the lead is largely due to defense that has pulled down the offensive efficiency of the Pistons.

Under the restrictions of Payton's fierce defense and the enhanced home whistle, Billups was not efficient in the first half, making 7 of 2 shots and 4 of 3 free throws.

Ben was 8 for 2 and Rasheed was 4 for 0. The Lakers, who have put their attitude right inside, are better than the double Wallace in defense.

Hamilton's efficiency recovered after Kobe gave some energy to help defend Billups. He made 11 of 5 shots and scored a team-high 12 points, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

As for Mo Wen, he didn't get a chance to play in the first half.

Kobe's offensive efficiency is not low today, 8 of 5 in the first half. Larry Brown did not dare to let Prince off the court for a short rest like the day before yesterday, and use Hamilton to defend Kobe alone.

The regular season and the previous records of the two matchups show that Kobe is very efficient in singles against Hamilton, so he mostly defends Kobe when Prince is on the court.

If Mo Wen is asked to replace Hamilton and face Kobe's defense, it will make Larry Brown even more worried; it's fine for a first-year rookie to face a superstar in the training game, and arrange a rookie with a top outside line like Kobe in the finals The old man felt like he had to stay away from the defensive players, he was afraid that blood would splash on him if he got too close.

Mo Wen also felt that the old man made a rare correct decision, and it was really not suitable for him to play in the first half of today.

He was even in the mood to chat with the little girl next to him.

"You didn't get a chance to play, and the team is still behind, why do I feel that you are still a little bit happy?"

Mo Wen shrugged.

"It didn't make any sense for me to play in the first half. I couldn't defend against Kobe, and I couldn't face Kobe's defense. We have a story in China called Tian Ji's horse racing. Have you heard of it?"

The girl blinked and shook her head.

"Tian Ji's horse racing is..."

"・・・"

Mo Wen chatted happily with this girl. This is the benefit of playing in a big city. The ratio of beautiful women on the sidelines is at least ten times that of Detroit.

"Hey, Pistons boy, stay away from my daughter."

A burly man with white face and black hair stood in front of Mo Wen, pushed the girl to the empty seat next to him, and sat down on the girl's seat just now.

"Hey, Mr. Governor, you can't do this, America is a country of free speech."

Mo Wen spread his hands and said in a joking tone.

"You are right, but this is the home of the Lakers. I have the right to suspect that you, as a Pistons player, are harassing Lakers fans."

Schwarzenegger rubbed his chin and also looked at the young man.

Body decoration, handsome facial features, and neither humble nor overbearing in speech, without the sense of anxiety and alienation that he usually comes into contact with people of yellow race.

However, it is impossible to attack his daughter, who is only 16 years old.

What's more, Mo Wen was still wearing a Pistons jersey.

"OK, OK, Governor T800, if you don't mind giving me a few autographs after the game, I'm willing to keep quiet."

It was definitely impossible for Mo Wen to get Schwarzenegger to sign now. If the camera caught him, it would be an act of collaborating with the enemy, so he could only trade after the game.

There will be no shortage of sister papers. During his college days, he had two conversations. One was a beautiful woman from China studying abroad, and the other was a native horse. But when he heard that they both wanted to stay in the United States, Mo Wen had no choice but to cut off contact.

As long as he dared to mention things like Run, his 80-year-old grandfather would dare to cross the ocean with a gun and give him a sudden.

Of course, it's not a problem to be a vegetarian all the time. That bastard Posh found another one recently, and asked if he could bring him to his house.

Although there are not many holidays left in the summer because of the National Olympics, falling in love in the United States will not be as black as it is in China.

Mo Wen's eyes scanned the sidelines, whether he was on vacation in Los Angeles or in Miami.

Just as Mo Wen was still distracted, halftime came.

The Pistons trailed by 8 points, but Larry Brown couldn't find a point to spray. He just repeatedly emphasized the key points of defense in the locker room, and finally got a little angry about Mo Wen chatting with his sister on the sidelines just now.

Mo Wen yawned and didn't say anything to the old man.

He's not worried about the game, and the relationship between the Lakers and the Pistons is obvious after this one-and-a-half game.

The Lakers rely on OK to play. The old Payton and injured Malone can give OK too little support on the offensive end.

Unless Stern goes off in person, the Lakers can't win a game at home with the Pistons.

Even if they can't win today's game, the most they can do is to play one more game like in the original history.

After the start of the second half, the Lakers began to follow the old path of the last game.

Even with the advantage, Zen Master did not dare to let the starting players rest. As a result, after the physical strength of the Lakers players decreased, the efficiency of both offense and defense decreased.

Although the Pistons players are also tired, compared with the Lakers with an average age of 30+, their physical strength has less impact on them.

Mo Wen still played in the third quarter, but this time he replaced neither Hamilton nor Prince, but Billups.

Mo Wen's ability to hold the ball is not a secret among the Pistons' coaching staff. When training in the team, Mo Wen's ball-handling effect is better than that of point guard substitute Mike James.

Mike James' style of play is very similar to that of the sixth man of the Sun "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa. He is fast and has good breakthrough ability, but his organizational ability and defensive ability are average. He belongs to the size of a point guard. style of play.

But the Lakers on the opposite side, Fisher and Payton are not speed and breakthrough point guards. With Mo Wen's speed and defensive ability, they can completely defend, and they may even do better, but in terms of offense and organization, they will Worse than Billups, but certainly better than Mike James.

"The Pistons can make substitutions. They changed Xiao Mo to the No. 1 position. With his offensive and defensive abilities, he is almost really suitable as a substitute for Billups."

"I was wondering if I had to wait until the fourth quarter or the end of the third quarter before Xiao Mo could play. Looking at it now, a famous coach is still a famous coach."

Zhang Weiping was bragging with the reporters next to him on the sidelines.

In fact, this substitution was not the intention of the coaching staff. Billups proposed it on his own initiative. His hand is cold today, and he has been unable to open up the offense. Make another effort.

In addition, Payton and Fisher attacked him a bit darkly today. Payton almost tripped him just now. He is really not the opponent of Payton who has played for more than ten years. The villain needs the villain Grinding, but shaking people is not ashamed.

Mo Wen's strength, they are counted in single-handed bullfighting in the team every day, and it is not enough to fight Peyton Fisher and his ilk.

"Help me kick the ass of those two bastards hard, and I will leave the offense during this period to you, perform well."

Billups patted Mo Wen's chest and gave him a "you understand" look.

Nodding his head, Mo Wen said that I will take care of things, don't worry.

After playing, Mo Wen gave his teammates a business-as-usual gesture.

Peyton, who was opposite him, swallowed, looking at Mo Wen, he felt that the visitor was not kind.

But Mo Wen was not in a hurry to avenge Billups. He played a pick-and-roll with Rashid who was flanking him.

Nervous Payton subconsciously jumped up to defend, but Mo Wen didn't hesitate, and immediately shot the ball to the inside.

O'Neal returned to the defense, and Mo Wen, who rushed to the basket, did not shoot after the ball was combined, but passed the ball to Da Ben next to him.

Mo Wen, who took the ball away, didn't stay idle, pretending that he couldn't stop the car, and slammed into O'Neill's body.

O'Neal was hit by the 100-kilogram Mo Wen and couldn't move for the first time. Da Ben dunked sideways and scored.

Feeling that O'Neill was being calculated, Mo Wen jumped back to defend before he had time to attack.

On the offensive end, Payton originally wanted to fight back, but he was a little embarrassed by Mo Wen's elbow. Mo Wen was hurt by the elbow in the last game, and he was not much better. He is getting older and his recovery ability is getting worse , he can still feel the dull pain in those places.

The ball was still passed to Kobe by Payton. Kobe, who was playing singles on the weak side, took a look at Mo Wen, thinking of pinching the persimmon, he made a pick-and-roll gesture with Payton.

Mo Wen naturally switched defenses. Relying on his experience and skills, he entangled Kobe for a second, and then Prince's defense followed.

With the two double-teaming, Kobe wanted to throw the ball to Payton who cut inside, but Mo Wen found the right time and stabbed the ball directly into the sky.Before the ball fell completely, Prince jumped up and wanted to throw the ball to the Lakers' half court, but the palm of his hand missed it.

The basketball flew obliquely towards the auditorium.

Mo Wen started to run forward when Prince took off, thinking to save the ball before it went out of bounds, but a fierce figure behind him also squeezed over.

Both of them lost their balance under the impact. Mo Wen caught sight of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, and quickly grabbed the back of a chair before completely losing his balance, maintaining his balance without completely falling on that figure.

"Phew, mind if I try your popcorn?"

The girl was a little confused, and nodded subconsciously.

click-

The crispy taste has a sweet and greasy taste, and the needle does not poke.

"Boy, you violated our agreement."

Schwarzenegger next to him complained with some dissatisfaction.

"Huh? Mr. Governor, don't you realize that I am protecting Miss Catherine? You owe me even more now. 10 signatures, not one less."

Mo Wen pointed to Kobe who fell beside him. His female fan was not so lucky.

Good thing it's just Kobe...
