Chapter 200 Violent Heroes
Originally, Nelson's praise of Yang Mo was just his personal behavior , and he just wanted to trade Yang Mo. But... it inexplicably angered Stoudemire of the Phoenix Suns. During the interview, he suddenly lost his temper without warning: "No, Nelson is too old. He is not a master of running and gunning. There is only one team that really plays running and gunning, and that is Phoenix. And I am the most suitable power forward in the world for running and gunning, no one else. What Yang? I have never heard of him."
Stoudemire attacked two . Before Yang Mo replied, the hot-tempered old Nelson spoke directly to the media: "That kid from the Suns? Is he the third-rate forward who only knows how to receive the pass from Steve Nash and then slam the basketball into the basket? He said he is the best run-and-gun power forward? Come on, don't dream. He is not even as good as Shawn Marion, the substitute for Yang's substitute. Besides, when I was playing run-and-gun, the Suns were still Jason Kidd's team."
Nelson responded, immediately attracting a large number of epic power forwards to support him.
The first to bear the brunt of this is Karl Malone. This power forward who may be the best in the history of the league told the audience very frankly: "Old Nelson is right. Yang is not as explosive as Stoudemire in scoring and is inferior to him in face-to-face singles. In all other skills, he is better than him, especially in . Although Stoudemire still has a certain advantage in terms of strength, from the perspective of matching the run-and-gun tactics, Yang is far better than him."
The second is Rodman, the power forward who has won the most rebounding titles in league history: "Stoudemire will be beaten to a pulp by Young within three years, absolutely. Young has been improving, and Stoudemire has completely become a single scorer."
"Young is certainly the best power forward for run-and-gun tactics. His three-point shooting, his strength, and his speed are all born for run-and-gun. Moreover, his overall view is something that Stoudemire will never have in his next life. Can Stoudemire score 30+20 under the double-team of Bynum and Gasol? Of course not. But Young can! This is the gap." Barkley, a die-hard Yang fan, still firmly stands on Yang Mo's side.
Stoudemire didn't expect that his pretense would be besieged by so many epic power forwards. He couldn't sit still. Facing the media's questioning, he could only say: "Just wait and see. Next week is the Heat vs. the Suns game. I will use victory to tell those old guys who is the most suitable power forward for running and gunning!"
Stoudemire made a harsh remark, but Yang Mo, who always loved to talk nonsense, did not respond. It was not because he was afraid of confronting Stoudemire, but because he had another thorny issue to deal with.
The day before the game against the Golden State Warriors, a video of him beating up two biker gangs suddenly appeared online. After this extremely clear video was uploaded to YouTube, the number of hits soared rapidly, exceeding 50 million in less than three days.
In North America, most people are discussing Yang Mo's fierce combination punches. In the past, they only knew that Yang Mo often used death blocks to knock out opponents on the court, but they didn't expect that in real life, his punches were even more powerful.
From his quick and agile attack from behind, to his incredibly swift pulling of his opponent down, to his final ferocious punches that drew blood, the entire movement was flawless, as if he had been trained by special forces, fast, accurate and ruthless!
What surprised them the most was the force of Yang Mo's punches. They could hear a dull thud almost every time they landed a punch. When the two bikers were pulled up, they were covered in blood and their feet were unable to stand upright. They were completely dragged away by the police. Later, everyone also learned about the injuries of the two bikers from the LA Police Department. One had a broken jawbone and the other had a comminuted fracture of the bridge of the nose.
Too violent!
Everyone subconsciously took a breath. At this moment, they felt that the previous NBA fights were weak. Artest, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Garnett, were just a pile of human sandbags in front of boxer Yang Mo. No one believed that these guys could hold out for a minute in front of Yang Mo, because the cross punch, right hook, and left hook shown in the video were all professional-level strengths, too fierce!
As the scale of the discussion grew, the league officials had to make a statement: "We have received confirmation from the LA Police Department that Miami player Yang Mo's behavior in the Staples underground parking lot was a courageous act that did not constitute any crime and was a legitimate defense. We will not impose any punishment on Yang. Finally, we reiterate that the NBA is not a bloody and violent organization."
The NBA official league's words directly portrayed Yang Mo as a hero, and Americans admire violent heroes. In an instant, Yang Mo's popularity in North America rose again.
At the same time, this video also circulated on domestic video websites such as Youku Tudou.
Americans don’t know Liu Yifei, but the Chinese people do. She is the Fairy Sister.
How did Yang Mo suddenly get involved with Liu Yifei? Are they a couple?
Instantly, everyone's gossip fire was burning, and major online forums were discussing this explosive news in the sports and entertainment circles. Soon, it caused a large-scale sensation in China.
As for this matter , 90 percent of the people held a positive attitude. They all supported Yang Mo in the fight and thought that Yang Mo fought well and was manly enough. After all, the person being beaten was a foreigner and everyone had a sense of national honor.
Men think Yang Mo is very manly in beating up foreigners, and she is proud of Chinese men and she is very impressive. Women think Yang Mo is too manly, not only is he handsome and rich, but he is also very manly, he started beating up, and finally hugged Liu Yifei in his arms, which was really cool. Compared with this, those idol drama plots are too weak, this is what a man should be.
What are those pretty boys in idol dramas? They are fragile. In addition to being tall and handsome, a man must also have a strong shoulder. When encountering any danger, he can give women a warm hug and let them know that they are safe lying in his arms.
Once women became crazy about her, Yang Mo's popularity increased to a new level.
At the same time, Liu Yifei's company made a statement, which briefly introduced what happened that day and thanked Yang Mo for standing up. At the end... she actually denied that she was in love with Yang Mo, and only said that the two were ordinary friends who met because of their collaboration in shooting a commercial.
When this statement came out, some people said they no longer believed in love, while a large number of others cheered. Obviously, these people were all those infatuated women who also wanted a man like Yang Mo.
At the same time, the video also spread to South Korea. After seeing this video, Korean girls' love for Oppa grew stronger. Yang Mo's number of fans soared, surpassing 80% of Korea's hottest stars.
Yang Mo never dreamed that such a small video would generate such a huge impact. Fortunately, this video brought favorable results, except that Liu Yifei denied that they were in a relationship.
