Chapter 324: Open Internal Fighting
Yang Mo was muttering when Wade made a long shot from outside the three-point line.
The moment Wade threw the basketball, Yang Mo cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" and quickly chased after him. When he rushed into the restricted area at a stormy speed and jumped high, the basketball just bounced back.
At this time, Ilgauskas, who was originally trying to grab the rebound, quickly stepped aside. He had been dunked by Yang Mo before, and he didn't want to be dunked again. This is the wisdom of the old hands. They don't care about reputation. Benefits are the most important.
So, Yang Mo easily grabbed the basketball in mid-air, and then shoved it into the basket... Boom!
The whole audience cheered, and everyone shouted in unison: Super Yang! Super Yang!
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Yang Mo bowed 90 degrees after landing. This was his farewell ceremony, and he wanted to present more exciting scenes to the fans through these last few games.
At this time, Wade, who missed the three-pointer, was very upset. He thought that Yang Mo's dunk was a deliberate attempt to smack him down and boost his morale. In fact, ever since the misunderstanding, he would be unhappy about anything Yang Mo did, because he had already set his stance.
Yang Mo turned his head and saw Wade's cold face, feeling particularly upset. In his heart, Wade has always been a good brother, but he has become like this now, Yang Mo really can't accept it, but he can't do anything about it.
Yang Mo and Wade had a secret grudge against each other, but the commentator described it as an exquisite cooperation.
"It was great. Wade missed the shot on purpose, and Yang Mo rushed to grab the rebound and dunked. The combination was wonderful and imaginative. I guarantee that they will become a more classic combination than Michael Jordan and Scott Pippen on the offensive end." TNT commentator Collins said excitedly.
"Yes! This is the magic of Super Yang. He can always capture the intentions of his teammates most accurately and cooperate with them in a fantastic way to complete a fatal blow. Before Wade shot, they didn't communicate at all. This tacit understanding is really sharp." Barkley praised Yang Mo without showing it.
Barkley and Collins' praise left Kenny Smith speechless. As a "villain commentator", it would be better for him to keep his mouth shut at this time, otherwise he would definitely be subjected to a storm of criticism.
Soon, the team that was previously praised by the commentator as having amazing tacit understanding produced an unexpected scene. Wade used Yang Mo's pick-and-roll to break through the opponent and enter the penalty area to attract three double-teams. Instead of passing the ball to Yang Mo who was unguarded on the outside, he made a difficult choice to shoot. Although this shot won him the ball, but... this move still made the Heat fans feel something was wrong. It stands to reason that Dwyane should pass the ball immediately. This is their tried-and-true pick-and-roll tactic. No one knows better than Wade what Super Yang can do outside the three-point line. Why didn't he pass the ball?
The fans didn’t know why Wade didn’t pass the ball, and Yang Mo didn’t know either.
In fact, Wade himself didn't know, he only knew that when he was double-teamed, the first thought in his head was to pass the ball. But soon, a strong self-consciousness suppressed this subconsciousness, and that consciousness told him: You must not pass the ball again, this guy will kick you out of the team sooner or later, he is no longer your good brother, he secretly used you to make 200 million US dollars but didn't share a penny with you.
As soon as these negative emotions invaded his brain nerves, he naturally made the decision to attack alone.
Swish! Swish!
Wade made two free throws, which was a blessing in disguise.
However, in the following games, the Heat became a one-man show for Wade. He dominated the ball from the half court, constantly yelling at the players to move, and then attacking on his own. His hit rate was not too low, but it was undoubtedly , so gradually, without a doubt, the Cavaliers took the initiative and expanded their advantage.
It is true that Wade is very active. He carries the team on his shoulders by himself. You can't say that he doesn't want to win. At least every time he rushes into the penalty area with the basketball as if he is carrying a pack of dynamite to gain physical contact, and watching him fall in the penalty area again and again, you can't blame him too much.
However, he really affected the entire operation of the team. He was even a side effect on the court, seriously hindering the overall operation of the team and destroying all chemical reactions. Michael Beasley, who was eager to perform, even sat on the bench in the second quarter and never played again.
In this regard, Yang Mo, who should be the one complaining the most, worked hard and did the hard and dirty work, setting screens for Wade and fighting for frontcourt rebounds. He always did the right thing in inconspicuous places and pushed the whole team forward.
During this period, Spoelstra, who hated Yang Mo the most, even walked up to Pat Riley next to him and asked whether Wade should be replaced for a rest, but Pat Riley shook his head very decisively.
If Yang Mo hadn't confronted him, he would have definitely replaced Wade without hesitation. But now, Wade was his only trump card, and he couldn't possibly make Wade unhappy. As for Yang Mo, he could only say sorry! After all, after the next season started, he would no longer be a player of the Heat. He would not offend his trump card because of a player who was definitely going to leave.
The second quarter ended, and Wade's three-pointer at the buzzer failed to hit. The final score was 51:66, and the Cavaliers, who were playing away, led by 15 points. Of the 51 points of the Heat, Dwyane Wade contributed 28 points alone, while Yang Mo only scored 6 points, but also had 11 rebounds. Although Yang Mo is increasingly inclined to change to a ball-handler, he can still make contributions without the ball, after all, he is a player who started out as a defender and rebounder.
On the way back to the locker room, Yang Mo walked towards Wade and tried to say something to him, but the moment she stretched out her hand, Wade pushed her away.
This scene was accurately captured by the on-site camera and immediately projected onto the big screen on site so that it could be seen by fans around the world who were watching the game.
Seeing Wade's action, everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Wade was acting so abnormal tonight. It turned out that he had a quarrel with Yang Mo. But...didn't they cooperate closely in the last game?
For a moment, everyone was wondering what had happened between these two good teammates who had once fought side by side.
"What's wrong with Dwyane Wade? Why did he shake off Super Yang's hand? Did Super Yang offend him? At the end of the last game, Wade called Super Yang brother!" Collins said in confusion.
"Yeah, it's so weird. Dwyane was so abnormal tonight. He didn't pass any ball to Super Yang. What is he doing? Is he jealous? It's wrong to do such a thing at this critical moment, right?" Charles Barkley was also stunned.
At this time, Kenny Smith analyzed proudly: "This matter is very simple. Yang's limelight has overshadowed the team leader Dwyane Wade, and Wade is unhappy. This is the internal struggle of the team for the leader . Wade must be fed up with Yang constantly making headlines. As a former Miami city hero, he doesn't want to be replaced so soon."
"If you want to compete for the leadership, you wouldn't do it at this time, right? Super Yang has already emerged a long time ago, and has overshadowed him long ago." Collins explained in confusion.
"No matter how popular Yang was in the past, he was always an off-ball player. Now he has turned into a ball-holding attacker. One of him and Wade must have to sacrifice the ball. Wade is certainly unwilling to give up his share. This is perfectly normal. Moreover, Yang earned 200 million US dollars in the last game. How can Wade balance this?" Kenny Smith continued to reason and analyze, with the attitude of an expert who is well versed in calculations.
Kenny Smith was very proud, but Charles Barkley kept quiet and didn't say anything. He was thinking about what had happened.
At the same time, Yang Mo, whose arm was shaken off by Wade, went crazy in the locker room and smashed the chair with a crackling sound!
