Chapter 209 All-Star?
After Yang Mo broke through the double-team of two opponents, he crossed the center line in an instant, immediately creating a five-on-three situation.
It was naturally very easy to play five against three. After two fake moves outside the three-point line to attract Dio's help defense, they passed the ball directly to Beasley in the open position. Beasley received the ball and made a jump shot...swish!
The basketball went into the net. When things were going well, Beasley's shooting was still very accurate. But as long as the team was in trouble, his shooting percentage would drop rapidly, which was why Pat Riley didn't consider him as a core player. Even though he was much higher than Yang Mo in the draft, he still joined the Heat with the halo.
drop!
After Beasley scored, Coach Porter decisively called a timeout. Although he was a competitive player, he was not stupid. He knew that double-teaming would not work against Yang Mo, but he continued to use it. Was he asking for trouble?
Porter requested a timeout, and the entire American Airlines Center was instantly filled with cheers. The fans had been suppressed for so long, and now they finally got to raise their heads and feel proud. After being taught by Dwyane Wade, Yang Mo instantly exploded, breaking through all the shackles and beating up the Suns guys .
It ’s so refreshing !
The fans cheered like thunder. Yang Mo excitedly waved at them and shouted loudly: "Tonight, victory will definitely belong to us!"
Yang Mo's shouting undoubtedly gave the fans a shot in the arm. They immediately became more excited and their cheers became more violent, as if they wanted to completely annihilate those Suns players and turn them into ashes.
O'Neal, who was sitting on the Suns' bench, was somewhat surprised. He had also played in Miami and knew that Miami was a famous leisure city where people were not very excited. When they reached the finals, the fans were not much more crazy than they are now. He did not expect that in just one year, the Heat would become such a terrifying home team.
That Chinese guy is really awesome!
O'Neill muttered in his heart. Even as an opponent, he didn't hate Yang Mo, because he felt that Yang Mo had a very familiar smell, as if they were the same kind.
"Haha! Chris, I told you a long time ago that the game is not over yet. Look, Yang really took the initiative again. Rookie Wall? What is that? Yang smashed it into pieces with just a little effort." Reggie Miller said very proudly, and his expression now was like Chris Webber in front of the three-point line. The two of them took turns to be arrogant, and it can only be said that the ups and downs of life are really too exciting.
"Yang can only accelerate. If he wasn't strong and fast, he wouldn't be able to break through the double-team. His dribbling ability is still not good." Chris Webber said stubbornly.
"Brother, that's enough. The opponent is the Suns, not the San Antonio Spurs or the Boston Celtics. Young's speed is enough to break through the Suns' weak defensive line. Soon, Young, who has found the ability to break through, will kill all sides and destroy the Suns." Reggie Miller said very confidently: "As for you, wait to pay! Hahahahaha!"
Reggie Miller was so happy and so cheerful, sweeping away the depression he had felt a few minutes ago.
At the same time, Chris Webber was depressed and said stubbornly: "The game is not over yet, man!"
Reggie Miller's words sounded very complete, because he had said the same thing before. At that time, he believed that a miracle would definitely happen, but now, he felt that it was impossible for the Suns to have another miracle, and they were doomed to lose!
ESPN's broadcast was reduced to a verbal battle between two commentators. TNT's broadcast at least had some technical content.
"Young broke through two double-team defenses in a row. Does this mean that he broke through the defensive wall?" Collins asked Barkley and Kenny Smith very seriously.
"Yes!" Kenny Smith nodded and said, "Before the All-Stars, some of the hottest rookies every year will encounter various problems. Everyone calls this the rookie wall. Some players fall under the wall for their entire lives, and then become role players in their subsequent careers. Some players successfully break through the so-called rookie wall and become stars. Yang's current performance should be considered to have broken through the rookie wall, but... he will encounter a lot of trouble in the future, and his road will be more difficult than everyone else. The reason is that he is a little short."
"What is certain is that the Suns will not use risky double-team tactics on Young tonight. Young has taken a firm step towards becoming a star." Barkley agreed with Smith's opinion.
"Don't you think it's amazing that Young broke through the rookie wall? Just because Dwyane found him and chatted with him for a few words, he successfully broke through the rookie wall. Isn't it too easy?" Collins asked puzzledly.
"It looks simple, but hidden behind it is probably Young's more than ten years of hard work. Young has big hands and is very good with the ball, and his dribbling skills are actually not bad. He just... can't dribble and kill. I think it may be Dwyane who has enlightened him mentally. After the timeout, Young can make his opponents feel murderous as soon as he gets the ball, instead of being timid and afraid of losing the ball as before." Kenny Smith said.
"That's good. The Heat now have two Flashes. Young's breakthrough speed is not slower than Dwyane's, but his first step's explosiveness is not as strong." Charles Barkley couldn't help but envision the Heat: "Wade and Young will definitely take the Heat further. A violent forward and a sharp guard, they will definitely become a classic combination that surpasses Payton Kemp."
"Don't you think that as Yang becomes stronger and needs more and more ball possession, the two will have conflicts?" Kenny Smith proposed another scenario.
"Impossible? If Wade had a grudge against Yang, he wouldn't have taught him to break through!" Collins interjected at the right time.
"If Yang continues to be so strong, Wade will inevitably become a hindrance to his growth , and then Pat Riley will be in trouble."
"Pat Riley doesn't worry about this matter, so why should we?" Charles Barkley said unhappily, "The All-Star Game is about to start, and Yang has been included in the All-Star forward list. I believe that with Yang's current popularity and the support from Asia, it will be no problem for him to become the starting forward. Moreover, I am very optimistic that he will win the MVP of the All-Star Rookie Game."
"Hey, Charles, I have to tell you, even if there is no vote issue, Yang's performance deserves an All-Star spot. He is now the rebounding leader and his average points per game is around 18 points. Although this data is based on a high shooting rate, he at least led the Heat into the top eight in the Eastern Conference. This is the Heat without Dwyane!" Kenny Smith rarely said a fair word for Yang Mo.
"Of course, there are not many good forwards in the East." Barkley nodded, agreeing with Smith's statement.
drop!
At this time, the whistle sounded and the game continued.
