Chapter 134: Violent Dunk
Back in the half court, the Bulls still had the ball firmly in the hands of Derrick Rose. As Michael Jordan said, superstars are raised by shooting rights, and the Bulls now positioned Rose as a leader from the beginning. Hinrich, who would hinder his growth, was directly pressed on the bench, and Ben Gordon, who needed the ball to score, did not get a long-term contract this year, but signed a one-year contract. The meaning is obvious, if you can't cooperate well with Rose, then get out!
To be honest, Yang Mo envied Derrick Rose. Although two months ago, he only wanted to gain a foothold in the NBA. But as his strength grew, his ambitions naturally expanded. There was nothing wrong with that. It was wrong not to want to be a leader. What was the point of playing professional basketball if you didn't fight for the first place ?
Derrick Rose wandered around the perimeter, but after failing to find a pass, he rushed directly to the inside. Rose's speed was not much slower than Yang Mo's, and his explosiveness was even better than Yang Mo's. How could Qian Mos defend him? So he was passed by immediately, and watched Rose rush to the penalty area.
Derrick Rose rushed into the restricted area, his legs bounced, and his body soared into the air. Seeing Rose's aggressive momentum, Magloire quickly dodged and let him dunk. There is no way, when you get old, you have to accept your age. If you do things that you are young and energetic, you will only be dunked by the younger generation.
boom!
Rose violently smashed the basketball into the basket, drawing cheers from the entire crowd. Bulls fans had high expectations for Rose, believing that he would definitely lead the Bulls to a great revival. Therefore, they did not hesitate to cheer for Rose.
Rose is obviously a reserved person. Even after the dunk, he ran back with his head down as if he had made a mistake. It seemed that the cheers from the whole stadium had nothing to do with him.
When Rose was running back, Yang Mo rushed to the basket and passed the ball to Chalmers, then ran to Wade and said, "Dwyane, Rose's playing style is too much like yours. Chalmers can't limit him at all."
Although Yang Mo meant to express that Rose was difficult to deal with, she still praised Wade without leaving any trace. Wade was very happy to hear this, and he quickly said, "Leave Derrick Rose to me later."
After Wade finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little strange: Why does it feel like Yang is more like a leader, and I am the younger brother?
However, this strange feeling disappeared soon. Wade never regarded Yang Mo as a competitor. He felt that Yang Mo was just a good assistant to him and there was no need to worry about him usurping power.
But the fact is that Yang Mo has begun to slowly control the team. This is not because Yang Mo is scheming, but because of his natural instinct. As Pat Riley said , Yang Mo is a natural leader. This kind of player cannot be suppressed. They always show their leadership skills inadvertently, and everyone is very convinced.
Back in the half court, Qian Mo quickly passed the ball to Wade, and Yang Mo went up to screen for him in a tacit understanding.
After the pick-and-roll, Wade quickly sprinted to the restricted area. His speed and explosiveness were not inferior to Rose, so he quickly passed Tyrus Thomas who was helping him out and cut straight into the restricted area. However, the one defending Dwyane Wade was not the aging Magloire, but the energetic Joakim Noah.
Joakim Noah's defensive ability in the restricted area is obviously much higher than Magloire's, and everyone knows this, including Yang Mo. So after the pick-and-roll, he immediately rushed to the restricted area from another direction to assist Dwyane Wade. He attacked the restricted area with a double-team. Even if Wade didn't pass the ball, it would cause great trouble to Joakim Noah, because he didn't know whether to defend the left or the right.
Facing Wade attacking with the ball and Yang Mo running without the ball, it is really difficult for Joakim Noah to make a choice because both of them have the ability to attack the basket directly.
While he was hesitating and not knowing what to do, Dwyane Wade had already jumped into the air and held the basketball high.
Seeing this, Joakim Noah finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly turned sideways and slowly squatted down, trying to jump up to block Wade's shot. But at this moment... Wade's high-raised ball suddenly flicked and flew quickly to the other side... What?
Joakim Noah was shocked and turned around quickly. Just as he tried to jump up, he found Yang Mo gliding from the air... He quickly jumped up to block the shot, but before his toes left the ground, Yang Mo rushed over and hit his body. He immediately felt as if his chest was hit by a thousand-pound boulder. His lungs churned, his breathing stagnated, and he almost vomited blood. He subconsciously took two steps back.
The two steps he took back allowed Yang Mo in mid-air to easily catch the basketball, and then he slammed it hard into the basket... Boom!
The basket was buzzing as it was hit by the violent Yang Mo.
Yang Mo had accumulated too much resentment before this game, and subconsciously pulled the basket hard, and his body swayed vigorously involuntarily.
It would have been fine if he didn't swing his body, but as soon as he swung his body hard, Joakim Noah, who was already exhausted from the impact, became weak on his feet and fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed, which caused exclamations from the audience.
At this time, Yang Mo jumped off the basket, approached the fallen Noah, and roared viciously: "Aren't you arrogant? Aren't you going to beat me up? Come on!"
The fans at the scene were so shocked by Yang Mo's violent dunk that they kept their mouths shut. But after Yang Mo's yell, they immediately came to their senses and started booing.
Amid the boos from the audience, Tyus Thomas quickly rushed over and pushed Yang Mo away, picked up Joakim Noah, and then shouted at Yang Mo: "Grandpa, don't go too far!"
Yang Mo was originally very upset about being pushed away by Thomas, but after he yelled at her, she couldn't get angry anymore. After all, this grandson already called her grandpa, so what else could she do?
Yang Mo had no choice but to hold back his smile and shook his head, saying, "Okay, Grandpa won't teach you a lesson this time."
Having said that, he quickly ran back to half court.
The referee was a little nervous at first, thinking that the rebellious Yang Mo would fight with Thomas, but he didn't expect that he would be so good-tempered and let him go. The referee, who was refereeing the Heat game for the first time, couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Who said this Chinese kid has a bad temper? I think he is very kind. He is no different from Yao Ming in Houston!"
The referee thought Yang Mo was friendly, but that was because he didn't know what grandpa meant.
