Chapter 194 Don't Worry
"Oh, a super three-pointer, it actually went in! Yang is so lucky tonight, he is the only protagonist, everything revolves around him." The TNT host made a commentary during the halftime break. They couldn't let this blank time of the game be occupied by advertisements.
"Anyway, I didn't expect the Heat to lead by 16 points entering the second half, and I didn't expect Young to collapse the Lakers' luxurious twin towers combination by himself. What I least expected was that Phil Jackson would leave the court in such a way. It would definitely be the most embarrassing scene in his life. Anyway, every time I see him sitting on the bench with his eyes closed, I will think of the scene when he was hit by a basketball and his face and he was screaming like a goat that was stabbed." Kenny Smith joked with a smile.
"Don't dream. After this lesson, Phil Jackson will definitely not direct the game with his eyes closed again. I guarantee he doesn't want to be hit like this again, even though Collins said it can lower his blood pressure." Barkley said with a smirk.
"Stop teasing Phil Jackson." Collins muttered humanitarianly, and then he saw the stats on the screen. When he saw Yang Mo's stats were was completely stunned. Then, he said with trembling lips: "Kenny, Charles, look at Yang's stats, am I seeing it right?"
"Wow!" Kenny Smith couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's actually a big double-double. I kept watching Yang grabbing rebounds and scoring, but I didn't expect him to get so many points and rebounds without realizing it."
"Yeah, it's amazing. He scored only five points less than Kobe Bryant, but had the most rebounds in the game. You have to know that Bynum and Gasol only had 17 together." Charles Barkley was also very surprised.
"He had 22 points and 14 rebounds in the first half, so how many in the whole game? 44 points and 28 rebounds. Oh my god, is this going to break the record? These are definitely the statistics of the top inside players." Collins said with a click of his tongue, "I really can't imagine that I laughed at Yang for not being able to gain a foothold in the NBA. I was so stupid."
Collins' self-criticism made Charles Barkley laugh: "Man, it's a good thing you changed early, otherwise you would be like those basketball commentators who are still stubborn now, and your face would be swollen. Look at me, I discovered Yang's excellence early on and became his fan. I am so proud now. Haha! If Yang can get 50+30 tonight, he will be a god directly. Even O'Neal can't play such data."
"50+30?" Kenny Smith smiled and poured cold water on Barkley: "Dream on! 50+30, how is this possible? Unless the entire fourth quarter becomes garbage time and Young stays on the court to brush up the stats, it is impossible to reach this stat. Of course, 30+20 is almost certain. This stat is enough to shut up those commentators who claimed Young was a cancer before the game."
"They won't shut up." Collins actively complained: "They will definitely criticize Yang from other aspects, such as he knocked down Phil Jackson, such as he stimulated Ariza... Anyway, it's too easy to find something to criticize from a person. I think they will never shut up."
"You know them quite well." Kenny Smith said unhappily.
"They used to be the same kind. Of course, people of the same kind understand each other best." Barkley laughed.
"I have turned from darkness to light..."
Before Collins finished speaking, the director switched to commercials. The game is important, but so is the commercials, which are the main source of revenue.
At the same time, the Heat's locker room was filled with jubilation and everyone was laughing. They had not expected that the team could beat last season's runner-up. This greatly boosted their confidence and made them believe that they had the ability to defeat any opponent.
Under the influence of this kind of confidence, morale will continue to grow and rise invisibly. This is what is called producing good chemistry.
After watching his teammates having fun for a while, Yang Mo walked to the center of the locker room, clapped his hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, and asked in Chinese, "Are you guys having fun?"
"Awesome!" Everyone, including the coaching staff, shouted out the familiar Chinese words.
"Me too." Yang Mo smiled slightly and continued, "So it turns out that a championship team isn't that great. What do you think? Isn't that right?"
"Yes!" Everyone answered with laughter. This topic was very easy for them.
Yang Mo also smiled, then his face darkened and he said seriously: "But, in the third quarter, Kobe Bryant will definitely launch a fierce counterattack. If we can continue to kill him, then the fourth quarter will enter garbage time. If not, our current lead will become meaningless, and the opponent will easily take away the victory."
"Is it really that great? We are almost 20 points ahead now." Beasley asked with some disapproval.
Yang Mo rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "You saw Kobe Bryant score eight points in one minute just now. Do you think I'm exaggerating? Michael, before you even touched a basketball, he could score 50 or 60 points in a single game. Do you think 16 points is a big difference?"
Yang Mo's words plunged the locker room into silence. Everyone looked a little worried. After all, they all knew how powerful Kobe was. He was a man who could score 81 points in a single game!
Seeing the solemn atmosphere and everyone frowning, Yang Mo relaxed everyone a little and said, "But don't worry too much. I will defend him in the second half. But... you must hold the inside defense tightly. Once Bynum and Gasol come to their senses and play inside and outside cooperation, it will be all over. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Everyone nodded at the same time.
"Well, continue to rest. If you are hungry, have some snacks. If you are not hungry, come with me to the court to warm up and stay in shape." Yang Mo gave instructions and took the initiative to run to the court to warm up.
When Yang Mo ran back to the court, he found that Kobe on the opposite side was also practicing there. There were only him and Vujacic, one shooting and the other picking up.
Seeing this scene, Yang Mo felt inexplicably relieved.
Kobe Bryant's appearance shows that he will fight alone to the end.
He was fighting alone, and although Yang Mo was a little worried, he was not afraid. If the Lakers could fully mobilize and exert the power of the team, then... the Heat would be truly doomed.
