Chapter 162 Savage Breakthrough
"Since the Heat quickened the offensive tempo, Yang Mo has scored two goals in a row, a three-pointer and a slam dunk, both of which were very exciting. Yang Mo's touch was very hot tonight. Could he be trying to challenge his career high? Also, what's going on with those Korean female stars? Why do I feel that Yang Mo and Yao Ming are completely different types of players? Yao Ming, on the other hand, doesn't have any gossip at all." CCTV host Yang Jian said with a smile.
"Yang Mo is not a player who has been trained by a professional team since childhood, so her personality is more extroverted. This is also a good thing, which shows that our young people are becoming more and more powerful and love to express themselves more and more." said coach Zhang, a commentator.
"The characters of the people born in the 1980s and 1990s are indeed much stronger than ours. They dare to express their opinions and fight for what they want. I heard that Yang Mo is now the leader who has the final say in the Heat's locker room. Old players like Haslem and troublemakers like Beasley all listen to him. And Marion had a falling out with Yang Mo and was directly put on the inactivated list. He is the highest-paid player in Miami!" Su Qun also revealed the inside information that he got from somewhere.
This news reached thousands of households through television, and when the fans heard about it, they were all very happy and satisfied. They felt that Yang Mo had helped everyone to gain face. Chinese men must stand up tall and domineering when they are abroad, and kill whoever they catch, so that those who look down on us will know that the sleeping lion of the East has awakened, and that the Chinese are no longer the Confucian traditional middle-class thinking that allows others to bully them. Whoever dares to provoke us, we will draw our swords!
At the same time, Yang Mo, who had already run back to the half court to defend, did not forget to tease Yao Ming: "Yao, it seems that being too tall is not convenient. A small guy like me can hide in your blind spot anytime and anywhere, and you can intercept the ball as you want. You have to be more careful next time. When fellow villagers meet, in addition to tears in my eyes, I have to shoot you in the back!"
Yao Ming was very embarrassed when he heard Yang Mo say a series of piercing words in familiar Chinese. He really didn't expect Yang Mo to be so good at trash talking. No wonder Garnett kept saying that Chinese kids were all very bad when they played against the Celtics last time! I guess Garnett was often stuffed with trash talk by Yang Mo.
At the same time, Alston had already brought the ball to the frontcourt. At this time, the Heat defended a three-two zone. Now Beasley was the only one whose defense was not reliable, and the other four were still above the standard, so the zone defense was really lethal, at least it would not allow the opponent to get an easy three-pointer.
After the ball was moved around the perimeter, it was passed directly to the restricted area. Yao Ming caught the ball and turned around to shoot a jump shot before the double team arrived... swish!
When a 7-foot-6 big man uses the shooting guard's turnaround jump shot to shoot the ball, all you can do is wait to kick the ball out or grab the rebound.
In today's declining center, Yao Ming has raised the banner of the traditional center. Although his style of play is not explosive enough, no one can deny the fact that Yao Ming is already the best center in the league. O'Neal can't do that, and Howard is even less qualified. When he meets Yao Ming, he is completely suppressed.
At the same time, Yang Mo also discovered a fatal flaw in the Rockets' lineup. Like the Heat, they had no players who could break through. Artest and Battier were both good at holding the ball, but it was a pipe dream . As for the aging Alston, his role now was only to steadily dribble the ball across half court, then pass it to the inside, or find an open position to shoot a three-pointer. It would be better to rely on Aaron Brooks off the court than on him to break through.
No breakthrough means that their offense in the mid-range is blank. Their offense can be completely strangled by simply controlling their restricted area and the three-point line.
Once you understand this, defense becomes much easier.
After Yao Ming scored, Joel Anthony quickly kicked off, and then the whole team rushed to the front court. This time Yao Ming and Scola followed, but they were also running out of breath. This kind of sprinting is undoubtedly the most physically demanding exercise for these big men.
Because the Rockets returned to defense in time, the Heat failed to score on the fast break and were forced to fall behind. After looking at his teammates' running situation, Qian Mos passed the ball to Yang Mo at the top of the three-point line.
After Yang Mo received the basketball, he glanced at the Rockets' defensive formation and immediately made a gesture, signaling his teammates to move away. He wanted to play the ball alone!
When this move was made, the Heat players were somewhat skeptical: Can Young’s dribbling really break through the double-team of two top defensive players?
Although they were skeptical, they still pulled them all apart.
Watching the Heat players spread out to make room for Yang Mo to challenge, the fans at Toyota Center cheered for no apparent reason. They felt that their two top defensive players could definitely teach the arrogant Yang Mo a lesson. They were extremely confident, as if they had seen victory.
Amid the cheers of the entire crowd, Yang Mo bent down, put his hands together to protect the ball in front of his chest, and then did not move. At first, Artest, who was preparing to assist in defense, felt a little strange, but as time passed, he finally couldn't help it and winked at Battier, signaling to double-team Yang Mo and lock him up with the ball.
Although Battier was a little worried about this proposal, he thought it was okay to let Yang Mo run out of time, and it was always reasonable to keep the same in the face of change. But seeing Artest actively closing in, he still stuck close to him.
The two of them got closer and closer, but Yang Mo remained motionless, as if she was stupid.
No one knew what he was selling. The fans in front of the TV were even nervous. Their subconscious told them that Yang Mo's action was definitely not a show-off, and certainly not some kind of performance art. He would definitely do something amazing!
Under this subconscious influence, everyone stared at the screen and held their breath.
Finally, at the moment when Artest and Battier were about to touch Yang Mo's body, Yang Mo suddenly moved. His curled body suddenly straightened, and he raised the ball high above his head with incredible speed, and then slammed it hard into the free throw line, and then... bang!
Yang Mo actually used his body to break through the double-team defense. His speed and strength were both abnormal, how could Battier and Artest stop him? Instantly, they were pushed away by Yang Mo, and the two were hit so hard that their ribs hurt, as if they were stepped on by an elephant.
The basketball that Yang Mo smashed into the free throw line bounced back incredibly quickly after landing and was caught by Yang Mo who rushed out. Yang Mo grabbed the basketball and took big steps quickly... Puff! Puff!
After two powerful strides, he was already one step outside the reasonable collision zone, and then Yang Mo suddenly exerted his strength and bounced high. Yao Ming, who was pulled aside by Joel Anthony, wanted to come over to defend, but it was too late. Yang Mo, who was flying up, was already completely in the air. He had to stop to avoid being dunked.
Yang Mo in mid-air suddenly contracted his abdomen, and then his body pulled rapidly like a bomb. After stretching out, he slammed the basketball into the basket with one hand... Boom!
The sound of the basket roaring broke the hearts of all the cheering Rockets fans.
They felt their cheeks burning. The contrast between the previous cheers and the current dead silence was particularly ironic.
The fans who had been waiting in front of the TV with bated breath finally let out a long sigh and howled with excitement. At this moment, the land of China was filled with roars. This unimaginable and brutal breakthrough dunk made them see Yang Mo's creativity ! It was awesome!
After landing, Yang Mo glanced coldly at Battier and Artest, and said domineeringly: "Have you ever seen a rugby game? This is a rugby-style breakthrough, you can't defend it! It's impossible in this life, and it's impossible in the next life."
Facing Yang Mo's domineering arrogance, the two of them really couldn't muster the confidence to fight back, because they really couldn't defend. When Yang Mo broke through their defense like a cannonball, all they could do was cover their aching chests and watch him rush into the penalty area and run wild!
