Chapter 238: Legendary Prologue
After figuring out his identity, Yang Mo also accepted this fact. He did not think it was difficult to win the game today. After all, the original history was that Vince Carter missed the last three-pointer, which meant that the two teams were evenly matched. Today's 'Vince Carter' has added his strength, speed and three-pointers to his own strength, so it will be no problem for him to deal with the 76ers.
And most importantly, Yang Mo understands this 76ers team because his last mission was to possess Iverson. The team at that time was the 76ers who eliminated the Raptors and advanced to the finals.
Before the game started, Yang Mo took a basketball and patted it, adapting to Vince Carter's ball handling and his center of gravity, and incorporating his own technical characteristics into it.
Soon, the competition officially began.
When Yang Mo stepped onto the court, the entire stadium was filled with boos. Facing these boos, Yang Mo accepted them calmly and even smiled. He was used to it, whether in this mission scenario or in real life. In his opinion, the louder the boos, the more afraid the opponent is of you. If you are a person who poses no threat to the opponent, they will not bother to boo you.
At the beginning of the game, Yang Mo stole the basketball from Aaron McGee with incredible speed, rushed two steps outside the three-point line and made a quick stop jump shot...Swish!
Iverson, who was chasing after him, was completely helpless. He never dreamed that Vince Carter was as fast as him.
In fact, Vince Carter or Yang Mo's speed comes from him.
Vince Carter was already terrifying without the added speed of Iverson or the strength of O'Neal. Now with these, plus Yang Mo's three-point shooting ability, it is very natural for him to evolve from a demigod to an almighty god!
Swish! Swish!
Yang Mo made three consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the game. After making three three-pointers, Yang Mo began to feel that there was no challenge, so he began to use his abnormal speed and strength to attack the restricted area, and dunked freely, with various pull-ups, various back dunks, and various windmills. He turned the tense Game 7 into a dunk contest.
The 76ers were simply incapable of defending.
At this time, Yang Mo, Vince and Carter combined are an enhanced version of LeBron James. Their speed, strength, explosiveness and jumping ability are all better than James. What's more, they are also better than James in three-point shooting. With so many powerful abilities combined together, they can certainly dominate the game!
The game turned into a one-sided massacre from the beginning of the second quarter. Yang Mo did not spare Vince Carter's body at all. He rushed in desperately even with two or three people double-teaming him. As soon as he got a little space, he took off and dunked.
He himself does not have this kind of jumping ability and explosive power, but now he can experience it to the fullest, so why not?
It can be said that Yang Mo enjoyed the thrill of flying to the fullest, which made him realize that there is another way to play basketball, which is to play basketball while flying in the sky.
In between the continuous flying, Yang Mo finally understood why Vince Carter was called half man and half god. This guy's body is a perfect combination of explosive power, jumping power and balance ability. Dunking has almost become his instinct. Moreover, if it is only dunking, Michael Jordan may not be his opponent. In this world, the most handsome windmill dunk is Vince Carter, the most handsome pull-up dunk is also Vince Carter, and the most handsome crotch dunk is still Vince Carter.
After the third quarter, Yang Mo dragged the game into garbage time. Although Iverson scored many points bravely, Iverson was much more aggressive than Yang Mo. Yang Mo's inside and outside shots destroyed the entire defense system of the 76ers. He was like a sprinting bull, smashing the 76ers' defense into pieces, and they were unable to stop him.
Soon, garbage time is over!
The moment the game whistle blows...buzz!
Yang Mo heard a buzzing sound in his head, and then his soul was completely pulled out. He also heard a metallic reminder sound of "Congratulations to the host for completing the task and receiving the reward" in his ears.
When Yang Mo recovered from the mission scene, he first looked at Jessica next to him, she was already asleep . Then Yang Mo felt his legs were extremely strong, especially his ankles and Achilles tendons.
Have I received the mission reward?
Yang Mo muttered, unable to hold back his excitement, he quickly jumped off the bed, and immediately jumped up on the spot with all his strength... Whoosh! Yang Mo immediately felt like he was flying, just like he was flying in his dream just now.
Excited Yang Mo couldn't help but clench her fists and waved them twice, then she jumped twice, the vertical height of her jump was definitely over 90 centimeters. If it was a running jump, it would definitely be over 110.
Damn it, let’s see who dares to grab the rebound over my head next time.
Yang Mo thought very proudly. With the bonus of jumping ability, Yang Mo believed that his rebounds would increase, and his jump shots would become more and more difficult to defend. Moreover, his dunks would be more colorful and diverse, and he would no longer have to violently hit the rim.
Although Yang Mo's dunks cannot be as perfect as Vince Carter's, after all, there is still a big gap in explosiveness and coordination, but this jumping ability is enough to increase his strength by half a level or even a level.
Yang Mo couldn't help but think about the scene in the future where he would charge into the restricted area like a tank and then soar up like a fighter jet, which would definitely scare the inside players to death.
The more Yang Mo thought about it, the more he looked forward to the competition. He couldn't wait to surprise those guys.
But he suddenly thought of something: Is my physical fitness becoming more and more like LeBron James? Will others say that I am a copy of him?
At this time, Yang Mo thought of another question: "Will my sudden increase in jumping ability cause doubts from others? After all, jumping ability is a very intuitive change, unlike speed and explosiveness, which are too obvious. What if they capture me and slice me up as an alien for research ?"
Thinking of this, Yang Mo decisively decided to keep this strength and not use it unless absolutely necessary. After training with Trevor Cousy, the trainer assigned by Nike, for a while, he would slowly unlock it and give all the credit to him. I believe he would definitely accept it calmly, after all, this is the training effect that can make him directly crowned as one of the top three trainers in the United States.
After figuring this out, Yang Mo suddenly felt tired, so he quickly climbed onto the bed, hugged Jessica and fell asleep peacefully.
It was not until the next morning that she woke up when her cell phone rang. After waking up, she picked up the phone and saw that it was Lu Xueman. She pressed the answer button and said unhappily, "What's wrong? Manager Lu? Haven't I finished all my work? Let me sleep a little longer!"
"Still sleeping? It's already 12:30 pm." Lu Xueman's tone became even more hostile: "Tonight is the All-Star Rookie Game, and you haven't been to training all day."
"Oh, that's right!" Yang Mo just remembered this and said quickly, "Then I'll go to the gym and train with the rookie team."
"You know that too." Lu Xueman said sourly, "Aren't you having a lot of fun kissing the girls from Girls' Generation ? You even went to their concert to sing the national anthem. You're so free. But congratulations, you've become famous in China again. The People's Daily even praised your patriotism! You're a good flatterer!"
"The official media praised me? Are you sure?" Yang Mo asked in surprise. When he did that, he really didn't think about flattering others. It was just a simple overflow of patriotism. After all, people who are far away from their motherland always miss their country especially. Only those who have experienced this can understand this feeling.
"Why would I lie to you? Just check the news yourself." Lu Xueman said unhappily, and then asked, "Are you checking into a room with a member of Girls' Generation now?"
Hearing this, Yang Mo was subconsciously startled. She glanced at Jessica next to her, who was still sleeping soundly, and said impatiently, "Stop gossiping. I'm going to the gym to practice."
Having said that, he hung up the phone.
Yang Mo hung up the phone, but Lu Xueman was a little happy. She automatically interpreted Yang Mo's words as a denial. In other words, she didn't check into a room with the girls from Girls' Generation. This made her feel much better.
After Yang Mo finished washing and getting dressed, Jessica opened her eyes and stretched. When she kicked her legs, she couldn't help but screamed in pain. Yang Mo hurried over to help her up and said gently, "You'd better not move today. Wait until the lower body is repaired. I'll ask them to send up some lunch first. You can fall asleep after eating. I'll come back to see you in the evening."
"Yeah." Jessica responded softly, very obediently. She now completely regarded herself as Yang Mo's woman. After all, she gave him the most precious things.
After Jessica nodded, Yang Mo picked up the bedside phone and ordered food, especially ordering Korean barbecue beef.
About twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang, and Yang Mo went to open the door and pushed the dining cart in. After setting out the delicious food, she personally fed Jessica a meal, and Jessica's face was full of happiness after eating. She clung to Yang Mo's body sweetly, like a lazy cat.
After lunch, Yang Mo kissed Jessica, said goodbye to her reluctantly, and told her to watch the All-Star Rookie Game tonight. She would win the Rookie Game MVP trophy for her as a commemorative gift.
Yang Mo was determined to win the Rookie Game MVP, but when he came to the gym to practice with his teammates, he was inexplicably isolated by some players.
"Wow! Our super hero is finally here. Someone who can earn 300 million US dollars a day is so pretentious!" Brook Lopez spoke sarcastically as Yang Mo just entered the stadium.
The other team members also agreed with this and were unwilling to stand with Yang Mo.
Yang Mo frowned when he saw this. At this time, Derrick Rose and Westbrook came over and hugged Yang Mo respectively.
"Superhero, I can't believe you are now like this. No one cared about you in the training camp. Now you have stolen the limelight from all of us." Westbrook said jealously.
"Yeah, you shine so brightly. Four or five players have come to me and told me not to pass the ball to you tonight." Derrick Rose also joked with a smile. Ever since Yang Mo taught him how to pick up girls, this guy has gotten rid of his shy personality and now he can even joke.
"Yeah, Derek, you must not pass the ball to him. He has been suppressing you on the rookie list for two consecutive weeks." Westbrook deliberately instigated.
"Oh! There's nothing I can do! He's Super Yang after all. If I don't pass the ball to him, his fans will kill me."
"That's right. It's different when big stars come to play basketball."
The two of them sang in unison, making Yang Mo want to beat them up. After joking for a while, Yang Mo suddenly became serious and said, "You two must do me a favor tonight. I want to win the Rookie Game MVP. You must give me the ball."
"No?"
"Are you sure? The sophomore team has Durant. How can we possibly beat them? The freshman team hasn't beaten the sophomore veterans in several years!"
Both of them sounded very surprised, as they just came here to have fun and never thought about winning.
Yang Mo said firmly: "No matter who my opponent is, I will win the MVP. Will you help me with this?"
"Help, of course!" they said in unison.
"That's fine. The three of us will have no problem handling the second-year team." Yang Mo said proudly and confidently.
"I hope those guys who want to isolate you don't cause trouble!" Westbrook said faintly.
