Chapter 161: Special Treatment for Disobedience
Yang Mo took the initiative to ask to continue to play the shooting guard position. Spoelstra was obviously shocked. He thought that after two unsuccessful attacks, Yang Mo would definitely choose to return to a comfortable position. He did not expect that Yang Mo still insisted on playing shooting guard.
"Continue to play shooting guard? But Battier and Artest will always double-team you." Spoelstra said puzzledly.
"Do you think they won't continue to double-team me if I return to the power forward position?" Yang Mo smiled faintly and said sharply, "They think they can limit me, so they will continue to double-team me. They won't change their mind just because I'm a shooting guard or a power forward. If we want to solve this problem once and for all, there is only one way, and that is to defeat them head-on, beat them so hard that they don't even dare to think about double-teaming me."
Yang Mo spoke with great dominance. The Filipinos nodded subconsciously, muttering in their hearts that compromise was not a solution in the face of difficulties. The only way to solve this problem forever was to hit them head-on and defeat them.
"So what do you think we should do?" Spoelstra asked.
"Replace our No. 1 and No. 5 players with Anthony and Chalmers." Yang Mo directly pointed out, "Since our inside line can't defend Yao Ming and Scola, we must resolutely play a fast-paced attack and let us run. All five of us are attackers, and our positions are very vague. If they double-team me, they will inevitably lose other defensive positions. In this case, I can definitely deal them a heavy blow."
Spoelstra thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, Joel, Mario, you two go in. Next, we will use our speed to wear down their inside line. Everyone has the ability to attack independently. Come on!"
Soon, the whistle sounded and the game continued.
The Rockets still have the same lineup. After all, this lineup has made them taste the sweetness. How can they give up all of a sudden? Adelman is not a coach known for his quick response on the spot. What he likes to do most is to let the players adjust on the court themselves, but he is not as relaxed as Phil Jackson, and the freedom he gives is far less than Jackson. So... he is always a step away from being the top coach.
drop!
As the referee blew the whistle, Yang Mo quickly passed the ball to Mario Chalmers, and then ran to the front court at a very fast speed. Since the Rockets had already used the timeout to take a defensive position, they were unable to get a direct attack position on the basket.
When Qian Mos brought the ball to the front court, Yang Mo immediately ran over to set a screen for him. Qian Mos used the screen to break through the defense, and when he was blocked by Battier, he quickly turned around and passed the ball to Yang Mo. Yang Mo received the ball and shot decisively...Swish!
The basketball went into the net. Although the referee awarded it as two points, it still allowed the Heat to break their scoring drought.
The technical content of the score just now is not very high. It is just a simple pick-and-roll to open up the defensive space. Yang Mo screened for Chalmers, Chalmers broke through to attract Battier's help defense, and at the moment Battier helped defend, he passed the ball back to Yang Mo. Facing Alston's defense, Yang Mo threw the ball in very easily, which was not much different from no one defending.
After scoring the goal, Yang Mo grinned and shook his head at Battier, saying, "Dude, this is just an appetizer. The main course hasn't arrived yet."
Having said that, he quickly ran back to the half court.
For Yang Mo now, his dribbling ability is not outstanding. He can only rely on a fast movement rhythm to disrupt the opponent's defense and then get a chance to shoot. However, in the future, he must have the ability to attack with the ball, otherwise... he will never be a superstar. There is no superstar who can't dribble. Even Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan and other guys are all hidden dribbling masters. At least when facing inside defenders, their dribbling rhythm will not be disrupted, let alone intercepted.
Back in the half court, the Rockets still firmly focused on the inside. They gave the ball to Yao Ming, who dribbled the ball and turned to break through Joel Anthony's defense. When he turned around and was about to hook the ball, Haslem rushed up fiercely to double-team him.
As soon as he was double-teamed, Yao Ming quickly glanced around and found that Scola, Haslem's defender, was open. He quickly passed the ball to him. At the moment he passed the ball, Yang Mo, who had been hiding in Yao Ming's blind spot, suddenly rushed out from the side, stole the ball, passed it to Chalmers, and ran towards the front court.
Yang Mo started running wildly. Battier and Artest had no way of catching up with him. They could only watch Yang Mo run into their own inside line, then receive a long pass from Qian Mos, and then... a arrogant tomahawk dunk with his ears covered.
Yang Mo used a classic Karl Malone dunk move to slam the basketball into the basket. After landing, he did not forget to make a pistol gesture and blew on it, as if blowing out the smoke from the gun barrel.
Yang Mo's arrogant action was transmitted to the big screen above his head, and he was immediately met with overwhelming boos.
Yang Mo was very used to the boos. The referee was also very used to it. If it was any other player, he would have called a technical foul. But this was Yang Mo, a star player that Stern had taken special care of, so of course he didn't call a technical foul. And compared to his previous provocative actions, this move was too elegant. In the past, this kid could run to ask away fans if they were happy after dunking. It was like fucking someone's mother and asking them to call him daddy.
Amid the boos, Yang Mo ran up to Girls' Generation with a smile on her face and said, "Who asked me to dunk for her last time? Oh , it was Yoona. How about this dunk?"
Yoona was so excited when Yang Mo mentioned her name that she kept stamping her feet on the floor and clenched her fists and shouted excitedly: "Oppa! I love you so much."
Seeing Yuner so happy, some people looked envious. Yang Mo waved his hand generously and said, "Anyone else want to dunk? I'll satisfy you tonight!"
"Me!" "Oppa! I want one too!" "Me!" "..."
All the girls raised their hands, including Yoona who had just gotten one.
Yang Mo was so happy that she agreed to all of them: "Okay, everyone's wishes will come true. Wait for Oppa's good news!"
Yang Mo laughed and quickly ran back to defend.
Yang Mo's interaction with Girls' Generation on the sidelines made the players on the court envious. Why did this guy just play basketball and interact with beautiful girls? Isn't this showing off?
This feels like bringing your girlfriend to cheer you on while playing basketball. This kind of display of affection will usually draw strong dissatisfaction from your opponents.
As for Yang Mo, if you are dissatisfied, then you are dissatisfied. The worst that can happen is that you can just die. I just want to show off. What can you do about it?
Not convinced?
I’m a specialist in dealing with those who disobey!
