Chapter 142 Surrender Ceremony
After Yang Mo and the other four returned to the court, Yang Mo called Beasley over and took the initiative to practice back-to-the-basket singles for a while.
Beasley was not a defensive stalwart to begin with, so he lost all his temper when being beaten by Yang Mo. If Yang Mo's mid-range shooting was not particularly reliable, he would not have been able to defend a single ball.
"Yang, I always thought you could only shoot three-pointers, but I didn't expect you to be so strong in post-up games!" Beasley said to Yang Mo helplessly.
"It's not mature enough yet. If you can practice seven or eight times for each game and go through the actual combat training, you will definitely become much stronger." Yang Mo said seriously.
"Then practice more in every game. You are our core now, and you have unlimited firing rights." Beasley encouraged Yang Mo: "Play however you want!"
"I will try as much as possible, but I can't disrupt our offensive rhythm." Yang Mo nodded and said so.
For Yang Mo, leveling up through official competitions is important, but winning is more important.
At this moment, the players in the locker room came out one after another. They all looked a little listless and in a very low mood. After all, they had just lost in a power struggle within the team. Now, they had to surrender to the winner.
They returned to the court and practiced for a while listlessly. Yang Mo couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he turned around and sat on the bench. Sitting next to him was Shawn Marion, who had been completely eliminated from the Heat team. So he didn't need to surrender to Yang Mo. Seeing Yang Mo, he felt annoyed for no reason, so he raised his eyebrows at Yang Mo provocatively: "Rookie, don't be so arrogant. When Dwyane returns to the court, you will be beaten back to your original form immediately."
"It's not your turn to worry about this. You'd better care about where you will end your career, Mr. Pinky-Cock!" Yang Mo glanced at him contemptuously, not taking him seriously at all.
When Yang Mo brought up the past, Marion immediately thought of the humiliation of having his pants taken off in public. At that moment, he clenched his fists tightly, but he did not have the courage to hit Yang Mo, because he knew that with Yang Mo's strength, it would not be more difficult to beat him than to urinate.
Sometimes, no matter how angry you are, you have to endure it. This is the cruelty of reality and the low point of life.
Before meeting Yang Mo, although Marion had passed his prime, he still had no problem starting for the team, and could even contribute 15+8 points stably. But...ever since Yang Mo showed up, nothing has gone his way. He was beaten up when they first met, and then watched him rise. When he felt the crisis and wanted to make a sarcastic remark, Yang Mo took off his pants in public, making him lose face and unable to raise his head again. Finally, the whole team rebounded and tried to unite their strength to overwhelm and defeat Yang Mo, but they didn't expect Yang Mo to single-handedly kill all the rebellious veterans, not only establishing his leadership position in one fell swoop, but also causing himself to be kicked out.
Marion thought Yang Mo was born to be his nemesis. But in fact, he had been courting death. As the saying goes, if you don't court death, you won't die. He had courted death three times in a row. How could he not be kicked out?
At this moment, Joel Anthony walked down from the court. As soon as he came down, he hung his head and said to Yang Mo: "Yang, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have joined them in resisting you just now. I hope to play in your system and contribute my strength."
Joel Anthony came down and apologized and expressed his willingness to surrender. Yang Mo looked up at him and asked, "I can forgive you, but you must ensure that you don't lose more than three offensive rebounds tonight."
Joel Anthony hesitated, nodded, and agreed: "Okay, I agree."
"That's it, you sit on the sidelines and wave your towel first, let me see your desire to win."
"Well, OK." Joel Anthony was a little happy when he saw Yang Mo's resignation. For a marginal player like him, if he doesn't get enough playing time, it means he won't get the next NBA contract, and can only play in the NBDL, or go to an overseas club to wander around.
After Joel Anthony left, Chris Quinn came over and expressed his apologies and his determination to play. Yang Mo agreed, but still asked him to sit on the bench first.
After Chris Quinn comes Magloire.
In the end, only Dorell Wright and Haslem had not surrendered. Yang Mo was not anxious about the stubbornness of these two people. What Wright could do, James Jones could do. And what Haslem could do, Beasley could not do worse than him.
Therefore, Yang Mo took the initiative to talk to Spoelstra: "Haslem and Dorell Wright don't have to play tonight, and we don't need them."
Spoelstra might not have taken Yang Mo's words seriously before, but tonight, he had to obey because Pat Riley was watching on the other side of the TV.
So he nodded and agreed.
Soon, the halftime break ended and the game continued.
The Bulls changed their starting lineup, and Yang Mo's side still had the same five generals.
