Chapter 111: Blood on the Bayonet
Sometimes, God really is not a fair being.
Take Derrick Rose for example. That night, he not only learned the secrets of picking up girls from Yang Mo, but also won the game. This guy scored 42 points and 9 assists, which was more than the 35 points, 5 assists and 6 rebounds of the Heat star Dwyane Wade. He also kicked Beasley, who scored a career-high 26 points, into the Mariana Trench.
From then on, no one was embarrassed to mention that Beasley was Derrick Rose's lifelong rival. The level of the two had quickly widened. Derrick Rose had grown into a qualified leader, while Beasley couldn't even suppress Yang Mo.
It was a sad night for Miami. Fortunately, Yang Mo said confidently to reporters on the sidelines after the team was beaten: "I will play in the next game. Our home court cannot be lost again!"
Although Yang Mo is not a star player, his words now can bring great encouragement to the fans, and everyone believes in him instinctively. Because as long as he stands on the court, the fans always feel at ease.
Yang Mo just announced that he will return in the next game. Joakim Noah, who grabbed 22 rebounds tonight, couldn't wait to speak out: "Miami's inside line is too bad. No one can stop me from grabbing rebounds, whether it's frontcourt rebounds or backcourt rebounds. They will definitely not make the playoffs this year."
Joakim Noah's words made the Miami reporters very angry, but there was no way to use data to get back at them. After all, this guy really had his way in their penalty area tonight, and no one could stop him from grabbing rebounds.
When the reporter told Yang Mo this, Yang Mo responded: "In the next game, I will prove in Chicago that the gas coming out of that guy's mouth is a fart!"
Yang Mo's simple words instantly overshadowed all reports of the game. The next day, Miami's newspapers were all quoting Yang Mo's words, and there was almost no coverage of the game.
As soon as Yang Mo said this, Joakim Noah immediately responded: Isn't he just a 6-foot-5 Chinese guy? Can he touch my shoulders? In a week, I will beat the Heat again in Chicago. By then, everyone will know who is farting with their mouths!
The exchange between the two instantly occupied the pages of many newspapers. Now everyone is looking forward to the match between the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls in a week. They want to see which of the two inside players will have the last laugh.
Since the American sports community now has a mostly negative opinion of Yang Mo, at least 80% of people are optimistic about Joakim Noah. After all, Joakim Noah is a rare defensive center of the new generation, with better height and physical qualities than Yang Mo, and more experience, so many experts are betting on Joakim Noah.
Yang Mo didn't take the newspaper's analysis seriously . In the past month, how many times had the American media looked down on her? They had slapped her back every time. They had initially determined that Yang Mo couldn't play in the NBA!
Before the battle with the Bulls, the Heat had two more opponents, one at home against the Denver Nuggets and one away against the Atlanta Hawks, both of which were teams with many inside players.
Since the duel between Yang Mo and Joakim Noah has caused a lot of controversy, the players of the Nuggets were inevitably asked this question. The players were fine, and did not favor anyone in particular. But the head coach George Karl said: "Yang? An inside player who is less than 6 feet 5 meters tall? Come on, this is a joke! The reason why he played two wonderful games is simply that the opponent did not study him thoroughly. Our team has completely understood his technical characteristics a week ago. Next, we will teach him a lesson without reservation, and let everyone see how we deal with him!"
George Karl suddenly showed up and interfered, which made Yang Mo very unhappy. He was very unhappy to have watched his team fall twice, and was about to use the Nuggets as a sacrifice. Now that he took the initiative to show up, of course he had to suppress their arrogance before the game started .
Therefore, Yang Mo took the initiative to greet the Miami reporters before the game and accepted an interview. Before the interview, he ridiculed George Karl: "George Karl? Is he the head coach whose team's salary exceeds the luxury line every year, but who always misses the playoffs? He has five superstars worth tens of millions of dollars under him, but he can still make the record so bad. It's really amazing! In this game, they definitely can't defend me, because they can't even defend Gasol in the interior. After the game, you will know what level of head coach he is."
Yang Mo's words excited the Miami fans, but George Karl was furious after hearing them. He quickly called a meeting with the inside players, Nene, Martin, Kleiza and Anderson, to specifically develop tactics on how to strangle Yang Mo.
This time, George Karl was determined to defeat Yang Mo, and he even used two players with annual salaries of tens of millions to double-team him.
Yang Mo vowed to defend her home court and must not fall on her doorstep again!
Before the battle even started, both sides started fighting with bayonets and would not stop until they had stabbed their opponent thoroughly.
Let's see who will have the last laugh!!
Before the game, Pat Riley took the initiative to gather the players on the team bus and said: "Guys, today's game is extremely important to us. We have lost three home games. Tonight, we can't lose again. Since Yang has said that we will win, we must fully support Yang today. Last night, I discussed a new tactic with the head coach, which is to use Yang Wei as the core inside player. Everyone should pass the ball to Yang more and let him slap George Karl in the face with his beautiful statistics. Tonight, we must win!"
Pat Riley's meaning was very clear, he wanted to use this game to establish Yang Mo's identity as the core of the inside line.
This was almost impossible in the past, after all, Yang Mo had only played three professional league games. But... now Pat Riley had to do this, the sooner the core position was established, the better, otherwise it would cause longer pain.
After Pat Riley announced this, Shawn Marion lowered his head in dejection. He knew that he had completely lost to Yang Mo. From now on, Yang Mo was the core and he was a role player.
After hesitating for a moment, Dwyane Wade was the first to respond to Pat Riley's call: "Okay! Let's feed the ball to Yang more tonight and let them see how strong our inside line is!"
The general manager of the team established the position, and the team boss was the first to support it. The other players could no longer object and could only express their opinions, saying that they wanted to pass the ball to Yang Mo.
In this way, Yang Mo became the core of the Heat's inside line. To achieve this, he only played two semi-official games.
