Chapter 144: Unmatched Opponents
While the Bulls fans shut up and Michael Jordan punched, Yang Mo glanced at Joakim Noah with disdain after landing. He bent his left hand to bulge out his biceps, pointed at his strong muscles with his right hand, stared at Noah domineeringly and said arrogantly: "Now do you know who is the king? What qualifications do you have to be compared with me?"
Yang Mo's provocative action made the referee hesitate for a moment, but in the end he did not give Yang Mo a technical foul, even though the whole audience was booing him.
After all, it was David Stern who said hello.
If he blows a T at this time, it will destroy all the aura.
The referee turned a deaf ear, but Joakim Noah bit his lower lip fiercely. He had planned to teach Yang Mo a lesson today. He thought that with his height, defensive skills, and rebounding awareness, he could beat Yang Mo. However, the result was that he was ravaged on both offense and defense. His rebounding awareness and defensive skills, which he was proud of, were completely suppressed, and his height advantage was completely crushed by Yang Mo's strong power, and it didn't play any role. And this guy's arms are so long, like a big spider, it seems that he can hit any rebound.
There is no doubt that Joakim Noah is a little collapsed now. The feeling of powerlessness on both offense and defense makes him feel depressed.
"Incredible, incredible. Yang actually played such a wonderful inside footwork. Isn't he a blue-collar player?" ESPN host Hollins screamed loudly. The monitor in front of him was still replaying Yang Mo's dunks that had just spun three times. Both in terms of technique and strength, this was a very beautiful dunk.
"In fact, this cannot be considered an inside step. Only the tentative step at the beginning can be considered an inside technique. The rest are offensive methods of outside players. Inside players rarely do this kind of large-scale rotation to pass the opponent, because the center of gravity of inside players is relatively high, and it is easy for them to lose their footwork when rotating, and they may even be intercepted." Chris Webber, the most skilled power forward in NBA history, analyzed from the technical and tactical level: "This move may be only Yang in the entire league who can do it, because his height is at the level of an outside player, but his strength is at the level of an inside player. So... if he practices well, this may become his ultimate move."
Chris Webber's explanation was very detailed. Hollins nodded after listening. Suddenly, he found that Reggie Miller seemed a little less excited, so he asked, "Reggie, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied with this goal?"
"No, it was a very wonderful goal. But...it's not my credit, it's Michael's credit. I think Michael will be very happy." Reggie Miller shrugged and said sadly.
After he said this, Hollins and Chris Webber remembered the bet between Reggie Miller and Michael Jordan.
Chris Webber couldn't help but joked with him: "Reggie, you may lose again, because...it seems that no one on the Bulls can defend this offense. Noah is already their best defensive player."
"Impossible, Yang will definitely continue to try three-pointers." Reggie Miller argued excitedly.
Seeing him like this, Hollins and Webber could only shrug and smile. Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with them.
Yang Mo scored on the offensive end and was once again thrown into a three-pointer by Luol Deng on the defensive end.
There is no way, this lineup is destined not to perform well on the defensive end, after all, the strength is there. And defense is not something that can be practiced overnight, it depends more on talent. Defensive talent is more difficult to obtain than offensive talent, because offensive talent only needs to put the basketball into the basket, while defensive talent is to prevent others from putting the basketball into the basket.
Back in the half court, Yang Mo still asked for the ball with his back to the basket.
Although Joakim Noah had been trying his best to disrupt it, he had no choice. In the face of absolute strength, he could not break Yang Mo's position at all. He could only watch Yang Mo receive the basketball comfortably.
Yang Mo took the ball, but did not push it in immediately. Instead, he smiled and said to Joakim Noah behind him: "Do you believe that I can easily put this ball into the basket?"
"I don't believe it!" Joakim Noah answered firmly.
After hearing this, Yang Mo smiled slightly, lowered her center of gravity, and pushed forward with her butt sticking out. Noah couldn't defend at all and could only step back.
After retreating to the three-second zone, Yang Mo immediately turned around, but Joakim Noah did not move at all. He seemed to think that he had seen through Yang Mo's three-pronged offensive strategy.
Seeing that he didn't move, Yang Mo took a tentative step forward, but Noah still didn't move.
Seeing that Noah still didn't move, Yang Mo made another upward shot. Noah shifted his center of gravity slightly, but still stood there. He looked like he was not going to fall into the same pit twice.
Seeing this, Yang Mo immediately turned back and pretended to pass the ball. As soon as this action was made, Noah's expression was delighted, thinking that this defense was finally successful, and he must humiliate Yang later.
But before Yang Mo finished the action, he suddenly turned around, jumped backwards, and then shot the ball out with no one guarding him...Swish!
When the basketball went over Joakim Noah's head and into the net, he realized that he had been fooled again. This arrogant guy scored again.
"I told you I would put the ball into the basket easily, why didn't you listen? You are really not worthy of being my opponent. Your IQ is too low." Yang Mo shook his head at Noah with contempt, then turned around and ran back to the frontcourt.
This time, Noah was completely stunned. He went from being full of confidence before the game to struggling afterwards, and now he was completely suppressed. This huge emotional gap made his psychological defenses collapse instantly, and he couldn't help but doubt himself: Am I really unworthy of being his opponent?
