Chapter 204: Learning to Walk in Handan
"Wow, Yang Mo passed Stoudemire like he was doing an acrobatic trick, rushed into the restricted area at the speed of Allen Iverson, and then soared into the sky and dunked the basket! My God, he was not fighting alone. At this moment, the soul of Shark Kemp Barkley was possessed, and Yang Mo exerted the brutal force of the violent power forward to the extreme. At this moment, he was the only king on the court!" Yu Jia of CCTV excitedly and hypocritically shouted: "The 36-year-old Shaquille O'Neal stood here looking at Yang Mo, his eyes full of the shadow of his youth."
Yu Jia was so excited and yelling that the commentator next to him seemed a little embarrassed and had no idea how to respond.
After a while, Coach Zhang spoke up, "This dunk was indeed very, very fierce. There are only two people who have broken a backboard in an official NBA game. One was a player nicknamed Chocolate Bomb in ancient times. I can't remember his exact name. The other was O'Neal on the court. Although Yang Mo didn't break the backboard, he caused the basket to collapse. This kind of power is also very, very remarkable. If it was a glass backboard from the 1980s or 1990s, it would probably have been broken by his dunk. The NBA has been using ultra-high-strength tempered glass in recent years, which even bullets may not be able to penetrate."
"So Coach Zhang, do you think Yang Mo can beat Stoudemire tonight?" Yu Jia asked.
"Of course, it's very possible." Coach Zhang said confidently.
After he said this, CCTV cut the advertisement. CCTV's advertisement price is high, tens of thousands of yuan per second. The two commentators just wasted at least three or four million yuan in advertising revenue.
The Chinese commentators have great confidence in Yang Mo, but their American counterparts do not think so.
When the host of ESPN asked special commentator Chris Webber the same question, Chris Webber concluded: "It is unlikely that Young can beat Stoudemire. Even if he can, it will be very difficult. Since Shark joined the Suns last year, Stoudemire's scoring has been rising steadily. This year's average score has exceeded 28 points, which is a very amazing data. It is the highest among all inside players and second only to Kobe Bryant and LeBron James on the scoring list. His offensive skills have been fully liberated, and Young's defensive ability is not enough to limit him."
"But Yang's average points per game is 20.1 points, and his rebounds are higher than Stoudemire's, nearly 13 per game. He has surpassed Howard and is temporarily ranked first in the rebounding list." Reggie Miller next to him spoke for Yang Mo.
"Young's high score is actually because he takes a lot of shots. Now he has unlimited shooting rights in the Heat, with at least 20 shots in a game. In this case, it is not surprising that he scores high. He does not have many ways to score , which is a bit different from Stoudemire. In addition, his high rebounds are actually because the rebounding ability of other players on the Heat is not outstanding, and he is the only one in the team who grabs rebounds. Tonight, the Suns' inside player Shaquille O'Neal, it is impossible for Young to squeeze out his opponent to grab rebounds like before."
"So, you think Young will lose this final?" Reggie Miller asked.
"I can only say that this possibility is very high. After all, the Suns are much stronger than the Heat." Chris Webber is still more optimistic about the Suns.
"Let's make a bet. If Yang leads the Heat to win the game, you will treat me to a meal at the most expensive restaurant in the United States. If Yang loses, I will treat you. How about it?" Reggie Miller actually proposed a bet to show his attitude.
Facing Reggie Miller's confident momentum, Chris Webber smiled and high-fived Reggie Miller: "I have no reason to refuse an expensive dinner."
Similarly, Chris Webber has great confidence in Stoudemire.
drop!
As Reggie Miller and Webber were making a bet, a whistle finally sounded in the stadium.
Yang Mo's thoughts were interrupted by the sound. He looked up and found that the basketball hoop had been repaired.
Yang Mo shook his head, put the question behind him, and focused all his attention on this game. However, no matter what will happen in the future, he should win this game first.
When Yang Mo walked onto the court, the staff member who was repairing the basketball hoop came over and reminded Yang Mo, "Yang, can you use a little less force when you dunk next time? The screws on the main frame have loosened. If you dunk a few more times, the hoop may be completely broken. Then it will be troublesome to delay the game."
Yang Mo laughed awkwardly and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to trouble you. I will try to use less strength."
"Come on!" The repairman clenched his fists and encouraged Yang Mo: "Beat that guy into a sandbag!"
"Of course!" Yang Mo nodded confidently and strode onto the court.
When the fans saw Yang Mo back on the court, they immediately cheered again. It was obvious that the violent slam dunk was still fresh in their minds. They were looking forward to seeing such an exciting performance again, and they were sure to shout the word "cool" even louder.
The game soon resumed, and with Shaquille O'Neal on the court, the Suns could not play any run-and-gun tactics. Steve Nash had to slow down and dribble the ball steadily across half court, and then when Stoudemire ran to the free throw line to ask for the ball, he quickly passed the ball to Stoudemire.
After Stoudemire caught the ball and turned around, he hooked his finger like Yang Mo did at the beginning of the game: "Rookie, come out and play !"
Stadler wanted to emulate Yang Mo's domineering attitude, but ended up performing in a weird way, just like a prostitute in a brothel holding a handkerchief and calling in a delicate voice: "Sir, come up and play!"
Even though Stoudemire's learning was not very good, the fans at the scene still gave him a wave of boos, with many words like "Young, teach him a lesson" and "Young, death block" mixed in.
Yang Mo would not disappoint the fans, he immediately ran out, lowered his center of gravity slightly, opened his arms and waited for the opportunity. Since he was fouled for using his strength to defend Kobe last time, Yang Mo would not do such things to ruin other people's jobs. This kind of action is not a problem for ordinary players, but against stars, basically one foul for each use, and the referee would not be soft-hearted. Otherwise, with Yang Mo's strength, he could directly defend and push Stoudemire out of the sideline in three steps.
"Guess I will break through from your left side or your right side..." Stadler was actually pretending to be cool.
When Yang Mo heard this, he got angry. What are you doing? Can you pretend to be so arrogant? At that moment, he said with disdain: "With your stupid breakthrough, you can't even pass that end."
"Yeah?"
Stoudemire snorted coldly and quickly raised the ball to the sky. He thought Yang Mo would be fooled, but Yang Mo looked at him like an idiot, with an expression that said 'go ahead and shoot, shoot if you have the guts'.
"Didn't you say you were going to break through? Why are you shooting? Are you kidding your grandpa?" Yang Mo said angrily.
Only then did Stoudemire realize one thing: Yes, I seemed to tell him to break through, no wonder he didn't fall for my fake moves.
Thinking of this, he didn't care about anything else. He kicked his feet hard and used all his explosive power to break through to the left side of Yang Mo. It must be admitted that Stoudemire's explosive power is very good. If Yang Mo hadn't predicted it in advance, he would have been passed by him in one step.
However, Yang Mo had already figured out the direction of his breakthrough, because he just lifted his right foot to exert force, so there was no other possible direction for the breakthrough except the left. This was the pattern Yang Mo came up with after analyzing the videos of Stoudemire's recent ten games.
So, Yang Mo had already moved sideways to the left... bang!
When Stadler collided with Yang Mo, all his explosive power was immediately offset by the brute force.
Just when Yang Mo thought that Stadler was stuck in the mud and had no way out, he suddenly made a quick change, using his right foot as the central axis of his body, and suddenly turned to the right... whoosh!
He immediately avoided Yang Mo, and just when he was about to shoot... bang!
I felt my arms go numb, and then I lost control of the basketball.
Turning his head, he saw Yang Mo patting his basketball and running to the front court, while his teammate Steve Nash was desperately chasing him. When Steve Nash was about to catch up with Yang Mo, he was already one step inside the three-point line. At this time, Yang Mo took the basketball into his arms, knocked Nash away with one start, took two steps, and jumped high... Boom!
This time, Yang Mo's dunk was very gentle, with only a slight sound of hitting the rim, and then he jumped off the basket.
At this moment, the whole audience cheered.
Yang Mo nodded to the fans coolly, then bowed in a very gentlemanly manner, and even deliberately took off his hat with his right hand, which caused the fans at the scene to cheer again.
Pat Riley, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, thinking: If this guy were to develop in the entertainment industry, he might become an artist more popular than Michael Jackson. He is so good at stirring up the emotions of the fans. He knows better than anyone what performances the fans need to see at what time. He is a genius, an absolute genius!
At the same time, Steve Nash, who was closest to Yang Mo on the court, had a strange feeling: "If I were a partner with this guy, we could definitely play a faster run-and-gun game. Just now, he went from stealing the ball to dunking in less than four seconds. It's amazing. No wonder Nelson said he is the best run-and-gun talent."
