Chapter 187: Invincible
Back in the half court, Yang Mo, who was one step to the left of the free throw line, blocked Ariza and raised his hand to ask for the ball. Seeing that Yang Mo finally wanted the ball, Qian Mos quickly lobbed the ball in. Yang Mo immediately lowered his center of gravity after receiving the ball and pushed his buttocks to squeeze in step by step... Bang! Bang!
Ariza didn't dare to confront Yang Mo directly, so he could only step back. After taking three or four steps back, Yang Mo felt that Ariza seemed to have the inertia to step back, so he suddenly slapped the ball, and Ariza subconsciously took another step back. At this moment, Yang Mo braked and turned around to face the basket, raising his hand to shoot. Ariza, who took a step back, rushed over and tried to interfere with Yang Mo's shot.
Just as he was about to pounce, Yang Mo suddenly pulled back. At this time, Ariza's center of gravity had already jumped up, and there was no way to brake. The only thing he could do was to clamp his open arms tightly to avoid being called a foul by Yang Mo.
When Ariza landed with his arms clenched, Yang Mo slowly jumped forward and shot... It was impossible for Ariza to jump again to block the shot... Whoosh!
The basketball went into the net.
It's a very clean and simple shot, but the rhythm is classic.
From turning around to fake shooting, it was all done in one go. When Ariza jumped up and put his arms together, he made a jump shot on the spot. It felt like he was being fooled.
The person who uses this trick the most in the league today is none other than the Lakers' star, Kobe Bryant.
In fact, Yang Mo learned this from Kobe Bryant the day before yesterday afternoon. When the two were playing one-on-one, Kobe used this trick and Yang Mo was fooled like a monkey, so he quickly memorized the key points of the technique. Then he tried it on Thornton of the Clippers last night, and today he fooled Ariza perfectly.
"Is it fun to jump up and down?" Yang Mo greeted Ariza with a smile after scoring the goal.
Ariza still had a grim face in his response. He is not a talkative person, and he became even less talkative after being fooled.
Ariza didn't respond in a very interesting way, but Yang Mo looked up and asked Bryant in front of him: "Hey, Kobe, what do you think of this ball?"
"Very good, about 50% of my strength." Kobe curled his lips and said disapprovingly. Although he was very shocked in his heart, he didn't want Yang Mo to see it on the surface.
He actually never dreamed that Yang Mo would use his special move so perfectly, it was absolutely perfect and there was no error at all. He believed that even if he himself was the only one who could do it, he would at most be a little more comfortable than this, but the effect would be the same.
Genius, absolute genius!
Kobe Bryant couldn't help but praise him in his heart. He rarely praised others. Even LeBron James, he only praised his physical fitness and passing ability. But Yang Mo in front of him had to be impressed. He could master the wrist mid-range shot that he had painstakingly studied after learning it once. And now this trick was not taught to him. He just practiced with him for an afternoon and he learned it automatically.
So amazing!
Kobe Bryant no longer wants to train with Yang Mo, at least not before he retires. God knows if this kid will learn all the weapons in his arsenal.
Even Kobe himself was shocked, let alone the fans.
"When did Yang learn this trick? Isn't this a trick that Kobe often uses?" TNT commentator Collins said very strangely, and his surprise was no less than that of the Lakers fans.
"Maybe he learned it from watching highlights, which is nothing strange." Kenny Smith explained; "Many of Kobe's skills were learned from watching Jordan's videos."
"I think Young's timing is better than Kobe's. He waited until Ariza's toes were about to touch the ground before he shot. His keen observation is really amazing. He didn't give his opponent any time to jump again to block the shot. He calculated everything. This kind of IQ is really terrifying." Charles Barkley did not hesitate to praise him.
At this time, Fisher had already brought the ball to the half court, and then directly passed it to Bynum who was blocking the inside line. The Lakers did not change their strategy because of Yang Mo's goal, they still firmly went inside.
After receiving the basketball, Bynum pushed hard twice, opened up some space, and quickly turned around. He took a false step forward, tricked Magloire's center of gravity, and then quickly turned around and bypassed Magloire's body, facing the basket. Just as he raised the basketball and prepared to jump high and slam it into the basket.
Yang Mo immediately let go of his defense against Ariza, and quickly rushed over from the bottom corner of the three-point line. When he was close to Bynum, he quickly jumped up, stretched out his arms, and fiercely dunked the basketball in Bynum's hand with all his strength...
When Yang Mofei rushed out, the Lakers fans on the sidelines had already loudly warned Bynum: Be careful!
But, unfortunately, Bynum was not careful at all.
He even foolishly thought that the fans' exclamations were telling him to dunk more gently and be careful not to break the basket.
It was not until a hand suddenly appeared in his pupils and pressed the basketball he was about to dunk that he realized it. But unfortunately, it was too late! Yang Mo's right hand had already pressed the basketball and exerted force hard... Buzz!
The basketball was immediately dunked by Yang Mo from mid-air, and Bynum was almost knocked to the ground by Yang Mo's brute force.
After Yang Mo snatched the basketball that originally belonged to Bynum from mid-air, Bynum, who fell to the ground in a mess, had no time to turn around before Yang Mo had already rushed towards the frontcourt with the ball. When he turned around, Yang Mo had already rushed into the frontcourt three-point line with his basketball like lightning. At this time, there was only one defender standing in front of Yang Mo, Ariza.
Yang Mo was very familiar with this scene.
The first goal of the game was Yang Mo holding the ball and facing Ariza's defense. Now it's another one-on-one, with no change in the defender or the attacker. So this time, will the attacker fail or will the defender be humiliated again?
Everyone was full of anticipation.
Seeing Yang Mo rushing towards him with the same momentum as last time, Ariza immediately made up his mind not to fall into the same pit twice. So he focused his attention on defense, and told himself not to make the same mistake as last time. He made up his mind not to move at all, not to rush forward at all, and not to move the center of gravity of defense first like last time, waiting for Yang Mo to rush over.
