Chapter 158: Offense and Defense
Yang Mo waited for Artest to lose his temper, but... he was disappointed. Artest glared at Yang Mo and then walked aside. He didn't know if it was because he had become mature and restrained, or if he was too timid to fight, but he didn't seem like someone who could beat up fans.
After Artest walked aside, Yang Mo strode to the free throw line and said to Yao Ming with a relaxed look: "Do you think this shot will go in?"
"I don't know." Dayao answered simply.
Yang Mo smiled slightly and teased Yao Ming again without leaving any trace: "I guess it can go in, because my foul is a serious foul, and your foul is a misjudgment, so God didn't let you score."
After being teased by Yang Mo, Yao Ming really had nothing to talk to him. Yao Ming was not a person who liked to talk trash, so he simply did not reply to Yang Mo's words, so as not to be distracted by chatting with him.
Yao Ming remained silent, and Yang Mo did not continue to talk to him. After all, it was a free throw shoot, and if they continued talking, the referee would be dissatisfied.
Yang Mo took the ball, aimed at the basket, and shot quickly...Swish!
The basketball went into the net.
Yang Mo's free throws are the same as his style in bed. He doesn't like to do too much foreplay. He just shoots when he aims. His accuracy is quite high. Unlike some players, they spend a lot of time on foreplay, and some even lick with their tongues, such as... the great run-and-gun point guard Mr. Steve Nash. Of course, we can't make an accurate connection between free throws and bed style. Maybe Steve Nash doesn't like foreplay, this is all speculation. And if we really want to make a connection, what about Hayes of the Rockets? This guy always makes a fake shot before shooting a free throw. Does it mean that his bed style is to masturbate first and then get serious?
After Yang Mo scored a goal, she happily gestured to Girls' Generation on the sidelines and said "yeah!". The nine members of Girls' Generation quickly responded by shouting in unison: "Oppa, come on!"
When this picture was broadcasted to China, basketball fans were envious. This is much cooler than Rukawa Kaede in Slam Dunk. Rukawa Kaede only had three cheerleaders, and they were all dinosaur girls. This has nine, and they are a super girl group that is popular all over the world.
When the Korean audience saw this scene, some exclaimed, some applauded, and some cursed. Those who exclaimed were ordinary fans, those who applauded were fans of both Yang Mo and Jessica, and those who cursed were mostly Yang Mo's fans. This powerful fan group firmly believed that Yang Mo belonged to all Korean women, and that the national son-in-law meant the husband of all women in the country, not just Jessica's husband.
Yang Mo had never expected the uproar caused by this simple action. In fact, he didn't even think of himself as a public figure. He had always been doing what he liked to do.
Back in the half court, Alston wanted to pass the ball to Yao Ming. But before Yao Ming could get a good position, Artest had already asked him for the ball. Now that McGrady is not here, Artest is the core of the outside line, although the Rockets traded him for his defensive ability. But now McGrady is injured, the tiger is not here, and the only choice is to pick a general from a group of dwarfs, and he, the monkey, can be the king.
Artest took the ball and faced Beasley's defense, and immediately and decisively broke through to the inside. But... his movements were really a bit slow, and I don't know if it was because of the muscle stiffness caused by too much force or something else, anyway, Beasley, a defensive idiot, could actually keep up with his pace.
Artest was very unhappy because Beasley, who was obviously taller than him, was closely guarding him, so he immediately slowed down his pace, turned his back, and squeezed in with Beasley. Although Beasley's brain was not very good at thinking, he was not a born idiot and knew that if he couldn't hit him, he should hide. So he simply let him take a step back to defend him and let him slowly move to the inside with the ball.
When Artest moved to the restricted area, he thought he was ready to shoot, so he turned around and moved the ball slightly upwards, hoping to use this fake shot to trick Beasley's defense. Beasley was really easy to fool, and he jumped up casually.
Artest was very happy to see this and immediately wanted to get close to Beasley to commit a foul. But as soon as he jumped up, he felt his hands holding the basketball go numb, and then there was a loud noise in his ears, and then... the basketball disappeared.
When he turned around, Yang Mo had already rushed to the front court with the ball that originally belonged to him, and the old Alston was desperately chasing him from behind. Just when he was about to catch up, Yang Mo suddenly stopped and shot from outside the three-point line... swish!
The basketball went into the net! A very beautiful pull-up three-pointer!
drop!
Adelman called a timeout with a grim face. He never dreamed that the opponent's blue-collar workers would score eight points in a row at the beginning of the game. This was simply a shame and must be restricted. It must be strictly restricted.
Adelman was in a bad mood, but Chinese fans were extremely happy because all the goals scored since the start of the game were scored by Chinese. This is the Chinese Derby. A Chinese Derby must have Chinese players to lead the victory, instead of just following behind other players and still using the name of the Chinese Derby. Isn't this a disgrace to the motherland?
"Yang Mo's three-point shooting is as sharp as ever, but I didn't expect his ability to draw fouls is also so outstanding. Moreover, he was very strategic when he stole the ball from Artest just now. He had been lying in ambush on the side, patiently waiting for Artest to turn around before sneaking past. Then he let him make a fake move and suddenly stole the ball when Artest was off guard and not ready to shoot and draw a foul. His endurance is really terrifying." During the timeout, CCTV rarely cut to commercials, but gave the time to the host to start the discussion.
"This is not endurance , this is defensive talent. Some players are born knowing when to steal the ball, it's a gift from God. I just didn't expect Yang Mo's scoring ability to be so outstanding. No wonder he was able to successfully take over the core position of the Heat after Wade was injured." Coach Zhang, a commentator, analyzed from his professional perspective.
"According to an interview with an American colleague, Yang Mo was taught three-point shooting by Reggie Miller, and post-up shooting by Michael Jordan, both of whom are well-known superstars. Especially Jordan, who is the god of basketball. Coach Zhang, do you think that with these two famous skills of historical superstars, Yang Mo can successfully transition to the power forward position? After all, Yang Mo's height is indeed too tight for the power forward position." Another commentator also asked Coach Zhang a question.
"This is quite difficult. The first question is whether Yang Mo can fully learn the special skills of the two superstars. The second problem is that Yang Mo has no independent offensive ability, and all the balls have to be fed to him by his teammates. Such a player's scoring ability will be greatly reduced as long as the opponent marks him closely enough. Therefore, I think Yang Mo should practice his dribbling skills if he switches to play the three position." Coach Zhang said very pertinently.
While people were discussing Yang Mo playing the three position, Spoelstra on the court was already planning an even more shocking tactic.
