Chapter 184: Crushing the Little Shark
Back in the half court, Yang Mo immediately pressed on to Bynum. Yang Mo was more than a head shorter than Bynum, and squatting down to block the position was more like a child fighting a giant, too condensed. But…anyone with a discerning eye knew that Bynum was completely unable to move because of Yang Mo's push, and could only squeeze his upper body on Yang Mo's back, with his two long legs propped up behind him, forming a right triangle with Yang Mo's body and the ground.
This is a very good way to defend, because the triangle is the most stable shape. I think Bynum has heard of Yang Mo's strength, so he used such a triangular defensive position right from the start.
Yang Mo didn't care how Bynum relied on him. He said he wanted to play one-on-one, so he had to play one-on-one. Wrestling? Yang Mo liked wrestling the most.
Qian Mos saw Yang Mo reaching for the ball and quickly threw it in. Yang Mo received the basketball without making any fake moves. Since Bynum wanted to wrestle, he would fight to the end. He wanted to see how strong this little shark was.
puff!
Yang Mo hit the ball and slammed his body backwards! The huge force hit Bynum's upper body, which was leaning on Yang Mo's shoulders. His two hands, which were stacked together to try to create a buffer, were suddenly numb from the impact, and his two legs, which were stretched behind him, were trembling.
However, he only slid back five or six centimeters, and his body was not knocked away by Yang Mo. This was the strongest opponent Yang Mo had ever encountered since entering the NBA. After all, Bynum weighed more than 300 pounds, and coupled with this triangular defensive action, it was indeed difficult to be knocked away by force.
When the Lakers fans saw that Bynum's defense against Yang Mo was completely motionless, they immediately cheered and shouted, "Come on Bynum!"
The fans cheered for Bynum, but Bynum was groaning in his heart. He knew better than anyone how much impact he had just endured. This guy was as ruthless as a bulldozer. If he continued to hit him like this, he would definitely get internal injuries. But since the situation of wrestling had already formed, he couldn't just give in, could he? He could only swallow his anger and grievances.
Bang!
Yang Mo exerted force again and slammed backwards hard. This time, Bynum couldn't hold on tight. His arms loosened and his feet went numb. He couldn't help but fall down. Fortunately, his upper body was still supporting Yang Mo, otherwise he would have fallen flat on his face.
After Bynum suffered a loss, he gritted his teeth and ignored the defensive rules. He secretly adjusted his steps, bent his right foot and stretched it forward, making a sprint. He thought that if Yang Mo hit him again, he would also secretly exert force, and both of them would suffer. He couldn't just watch him crush him like a bulldozer, right?
Bynum made up his mind, and Yang Mo quickly launched another attack. He slapped the ball hard, and before he hit it, Bynum couldn't wait to exert his strength. But at this moment... Yang Mo suddenly turned around, and his body was pulled to the left. At the same time, Bynum, who had used nearly 80% of his strength, suddenly rushed forward. Without Yang Mo's body to cushion him, he immediately rushed forward. With no center of gravity to rely on, his body could not stop rushing forward... Bang! Bang! He ran awkwardly for two steps and barely stopped. His huge body was still shaking due to the strong inertia, and he almost fell to the ground.
At the same time, Yang Mo, who turned around and faced the unguarded, jumped up and stuffed the basketball into the basket... Boom!
When Yang Mo performed the violent dunk, the entire Staples Center was silent. The fans who were cheering for Bynum all shut their mouths, feeling as if they had been hit by a club.
After the dunk, Yang Mo looked around at the Lakers fans with disdain, and finally pointed at Bynum and said contemptuously: "Is this your little shark? He is nothing special. You can't even defend a 6-foot-5-inch little guy. Your Lakers' future is really bleak."
Yang Mo's words were sharp and harsh. Bynum felt a surge of anger in his heart, but the Lakers fans immediately booed him. However, while booing, they were also reflecting in their hearts: Is Bynum really not enough to support the future of the Lakers?
"I am just a short guy. What? Are you dissatisfied?" Yang Mo walked up to the furious Bynum and said in a very arrogant tone, "It won't be too late to be arrogant when you can defend against the short guy, my Mr. Little Carp."
Bynum clenched his fists to make a clattering sound when he heard Yang Mo's arrogance. Seeing him like this, Yang Mo laughed at him again, "Want to fight? Do you believe that I can blow your head off in five seconds? You can't defend me in basketball. You are even less of a match for me in boxing. Young man, don't do things that you can't bear the consequences of, or you'll cry when the time comes."
Yang Mo's ridicule finally ignited Bynum's anger, and he roared and rushed forward to fight with Yang Mo. But before he could take a step, Gasol hugged him around the waist, and Kobe Bryant also rushed over to teach him a lesson and told him to calm down.
But Bynum struggled desperately under the pull of his teammates, as if he had to beat Yang Mo. But Yang Mo just stood there, smiling, with a confident momentum of "If you dare to rush over, I dare to knock you out."
Finally, Bynum was unable to rush over because the referee stopped the game immediately after seeing the chaos. He ran over to warn Bynum first, and then after Bynum calmed down a little, he walked to Yang Mo and asked him to be more restrained and not be so aggressive.
Yang Mo agreed with all his words, but he still went his own way in his heart. If Bynum dared to act arrogantly again next time, he would be beaten to death.
At this time, Kobe Bryant had to make a substitution, replacing the impulsive Bynum with Ariza. In this way, Gasol became the center and Odom became the power forward.
Although the height is still enough to overwhelm the Heat, but... the toughness has decreased a lot. After all, Gasol and Odom are both so-called technical players, which means they tend to play from the outside.
Originally, the combination of Bynum and Gasol was perfect, one hard and one soft, one inside and one outside. Unfortunately, Bynum's mental quality was too poor. He was so angry after Yang Mo scored a goal that he had to sit on the bench to calm down. If he had a better mental quality , he should have stayed on the court and defeated Yang Mo with his performance. Besides, would it be difficult for him, who is 2.18 meters tall, to score a goal over Yang Mo, who is 1.94 meters tall?
I can only say that Bynum is too naive. He explodes when others provoke him. If he doesn't strengthen his mental quality, he will never become a great center.
