Chapter 359: Pressuring the Lakers
Almost everyone in the league today knows how fanatical Yang Mo was in his pursuit of the ball during the jump ball, and Kobe Bryant is no exception. So as soon as the referee blew the whistle, he blocked Yang Mo's position with force, preventing him from having the opportunity to sprint and steal the ball directly.
At the beginning, Yang Mo was struggling to compete with Kobe for the card position, but when Milicic and Bynum jumped at the same time, Yang Mo easily released the force and ran quickly towards the frontcourt.
Just as Kobe Bryant didn't know why Yang Mo suddenly released his strength and ran towards the frontcourt.
Bang!
Milicic slapped the basketball hard, just like a spike in a volleyball game, and the basketball was hit hard and rushed towards the Lakers' half. Seeing this, Kobe hurried to chase, but Yang Mo was already waiting in the front court.
He picked up the basketball very easily, patted the ball simply, and made a three-step layup very easily. Even though Kobe was chasing him breathlessly, he still couldn't catch up with the speed of the basketball, let alone block Yang Mo's layup, even though Yang Mo's layup was just a little tiptoeing.
As soon as the game started, it was shrouded in a bizarre atmosphere.
The Knicks actually scored a goal in this way. Others would jump the ball to their own half, but the Knicks did it the other way, using a volleyball move to pass the ball to the opponent's penalty area. Aren't they afraid that the opponent's point guard will pick it up?
This was Yang Mo's strategy. In his words, it was to risk one's life in the face of danger. This was called seeking wealth and honor in the face of danger.
Yang Mo's words came out one after another, Milicic was frightened and stunned, his little head was worshiping like a chicken pecking at rice. And now, Bynum's confused face deepened his pleasure, he glanced at Bynum very proudly, feeling very happy.
At the same time, Yang Mo in the frontcourt also sprayed trash talk to Kobe Bryant: "Man, do you think I only play the same tricks in every game? Don't be silly, don't be naive, my tricks are enough to make you collapse."
"Sly guy, you won't be so lucky next time." Kobe Bryant glared at Yang Mo. He was a cocky person, but he hated others being even cockier in front of him. But every time they met, Yang Mo would always create problems for him. From the first time they met, Yang Mo won a thousand autographed photos from him with a three-pointer. Then he wanted to practice with him alone and abuse him, but he ended up stealing his tricks and then beat him at home. Although he also got his place back in Miami and won a game. But he was still unhappy and felt it was not good enough. He always felt like .
"Next time? Let's talk about it next time." Yang Mo shrugged his shoulders and walked away happily, leaving Kobe with a lot of frustration and no place to vent. It must be said that Yang Mo is really annoying on the court. He always thinks of ways to provoke you, and you can't do anything about him. And if you want to do it, please search for Miami .
Although Yang Mo made his opponents extremely depressed, in the eyes of his fans, he was always the omnipotent hero. So, when he waved his hand, half of the fans in red clothes in the audience immediately cheered for him. Emma Watson, who was sitting in the front row, also stood up and screamed for Yang Mo, which made the players on the court envious: Why is he, who is also a basketball player, able to attract so many girls' crazy courtship?
"Yang, can you tell me how to attract the love of so many girls?" Milicic couldn't help but asked in a low voice in Yang Mo's ear.
Yang Mo was a little surprised. He looked up at Milicic and said, "Aren't you very popular? You are so handsome, so tall, and so rich."
"Alas, the girls who like me are all nightclub geeks, and most of them are after my money." Milicic said helplessly, "I'm tired of that now. I need true love."
"True love?" Yang Mo was a little surprised. He didn't expect to hear the word true love from the mouth of Comrade Milicic, the famous playboy in the NBA.
"Yes, just like them." Milicic pointed to the red color of the field.
"Well, no problem. I'll tell you the trick after we win this game." Yang Mo decided to whet his appetite and said, "You must beat Bynum. Girls like strong men who can knock down their opponents in the penalty area. Show all your muscles and skills. You are a rare genius that Europe has rarely seen in a hundred years!"
Yang Mo used both provocation and hypnotic tactics. Milicic's face was actually shocked, and he said, "No problem, leave the inside line to me."
Milicic had a face full of heroism and looked quite heroic.
Yang Mo couldn't help but be stunned, muttering in his heart: "Is this guy finally going to be... serious?"
While the two were whispering, Kobe Bryant was already . Yang Mo quickly broke free from his hesitation, slid up quickly to block his attacking steps, and opened his arms as if to strangle him.
Kobe Bryant didn't stick to the ball at all. Instead, he passed the ball to Derek Fisher next to him. Fisher flicked his wrist and passed the basketball directly to Ron Artest in the bottom corner.
Artest, who had just joined the Lakers, was eager to perform, so he opened his hand and shot...bang!
As a result, he was slapped out of bounds by Jeffries who was running over.
After Jeffries blocked the shot, he could not help but roar. NBA is a stage for venting passion, so there is nothing wrong with doing this. But Artest was like a man who had taken gunpowder, and he actually pushed Jeffries. Although Jeffries was a head taller than Artest, he was no match for him in strength, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Yang Mo rushed over and without saying anything, he slapped Artest out of the court and made him fall to the ground. Before Artest could react, Yang Mo rushed over, stared at him fiercely, and shouted angrily: "If you dare to push my brother again, I will punch your head!"
Yang Mo's fierce attitude was exposed, and his tone was tough. In an instant, Artest shrank back, his eyes quickly dodged, and he didn't dare to look directly at Yang Mo, like a child who had made a mistake.
Pooh!
Yang Mo spat beside him and said with great disdain, "You bully the good and fear the evil, next time you want to do something, think about how much you are worth."
After Yang Mo taught Artest a lesson, the referee came forward and quickly gave Artest a technical foul, but only gave Yang Mo a warning.
There is no way. Yang Mo is a star player, and his behavior can be called a fight-breaking move, it's just that his actions were too dramatic.
Yang Mo gladly accepted the referee's warning.
Because he has already built a stone tablet of divine punishment in Artest's head, and with his little courage, he dare not do anything reckless. This guy was beaten by Big Ben in Auburn Hills and dared not fight back, so he took it out on the fans. Isn't this a typical bully who is afraid of evil? To deal with this kind of guy, you have to use more violent means to deal with him, otherwise he really doesn't know his own limitations.
Kobe Bryant was a little excited and negotiated with the referee about this penalty. He believed that Yang Mo also used violent means and should also be given a technical foul. However, the referee was unmoved and insisted on his original penalty.
This was a highly watched match, and the referee couldn't afford to mess it up. If he messed up a star like Yang Mo, he would be in big trouble. So, he could only turn a blind eye.
Kobe was negotiating over there, but Jeffries was quite moved and said to Yang Mo who stood up for him: "Thank you."
"I won't allow anyone to bully my teammates." Yang Mo looked directly at Jeffries, with a protective demeanor: "Next time if someone bullies you like this, just punch him on the nose, I will pay the fine, and I will also compensate you for your suspension salary. You have to remember one thing, it has always been us Knicks players who bully others, no one can bully us. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Jeffreys nodded vigorously. He couldn't help but feel a little excited. With such a domineering boss protecting him, he felt safe and had a sense of belonging.
Coming to the free throw line, Yang Mo made all the free throws very accurately.
After making the free throw, Yang Mo deliberately said loudly: "Jeffries, you keep blocking that guy. If he dares to push you again, just kick his balls. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Jeffries shouted excitedly. The morale of the entire Knicks team instantly rose with his shout.
drop!
At this time, Phil Jackson requested a timeout. Although Jackson, the old fox, loves to show off, he has a thorough understanding of the "trend". He knows that a timeout should be called at this time to slow down the Knicks' rising morale. This is why he can win so many championships.
"Tonight's game was a bit strange. It felt like the defending champions lost their momentum from the very beginning, as if they were completely suppressed by the Knicks. At the beginning of the game, Super Yang announced the start of the game with a bizarre layup, and then Jeffries blocked Ron Artest. Artest actually pushed Jeffries, and at this time Super Yang appeared and used his strength to teach Artest a lesson. Artest didn't dare to move at all, and the Lakers' momentum fell to a low point because of this." TNT commentator Collins said.
"In fact, you may not know that the early NBA rules are similar to today's ice hockey rules. Each team has a person who is born to fight. Although fighting on the court is a bad thing, it can indeed bring the team's morale to the highest level, and the players will quickly unite and gather together because of fighting." Charles Barkley said: "Just like what happened just now, you saw Super Yang pushing Ron Artest, but in fact it was Super Yang who used this violent action to quickly unite the team into a whole, so that they could face the outside world in unison!"
"Hmph, a fight is just a fight. It's not as magical as you say." Kenny Smith next to him said in a sarcastic tone, pinching his throat.
Kenny Smith was sarcastic, but Charles Barkley directly used his taunting skill: "What do you know? This is a matter between leaders. Why do you, a supporting player, have to butt in on it?"
"So what if I'm a role player? I have a championship ring, do you have one?" Kenny Smith was not at all forgiving and directly hit Barkley's sore spot.
"I don't have a championship ring but I have an MVP trophy. Do you have one? I have been selected to the All-Star Game more than a dozen times. Have you ever been one? I have won the rebounding title. Have you ever won it..."
Seeing that the two were caught up in an endless gossiping mode, the director quickly cut the camera and started the preview again.
drop!
After the timeout, the Lakers decisively replaced Artest with Lamar Odom. Artest was discouraged by Yang Mo and had to replace him with the best sixth man in advance, letting Odom play.
Yang Mo's push not only boosted the Knicks' morale and unity, but more importantly, it forced the Lakers to change their lineup in advance, disrupting their normal personnel rotation.
The Lakers changed players, but the Knicks remained in the same state.
After serving, the basketball quickly came to Yang Mo's hands. When Yang Mo held the ball, Kobe Bryant subconsciously wanted to steal the basketball from Yang Mo's hands. In his impression, Yang Mo's ball-holding ability was not outstanding.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed. His two attempts to steal the ball failed. The basketball was always under Yang Mo's control and moved easily. After two unsuccessful attempts, he finally gave up the idea of stealing the ball. He realized that Yang Mo had spent a lot of time in the training hall in addition to filming the movie this summer, otherwise his ball handling ability would not have been able to achieve such a leap in quality.
At the moment Kobe took a step back, Yang Mo jumped up and shot the ball to Milicic in the interior... There was no other way, Yang Mo's passing technique was still at the amateur level, he could only use this stupid method to pass the basketball, because the success rate of this method was higher and it would not be directly intercepted.
Milicic received the basketball and turned his back, but the basketball suddenly hit the air, and Bynum, who was naive, jumped up. As his center of gravity increased, Milicic turned around half of his body with a nimble move. Bynum, who was also a gifted man, quickly made up for the defense, but at this moment, Milicic bent over, turned around nimbly, and even directly bypassed Bynum's defense, and then quickly jumped up put the ball into the basket easily!
When the basketball went into the basket, the whole audience cheered.
It's amazing that a 6-foot-2 guy can actually perform this kind of movement, and it's so beautiful, just like dancing ballet. It's great. No wonder he was selected as the second pick in 2003, beating out American stars such as Cameron, Wade and Bosh.
Yang Mo could also perform this move, but not as freely and effortlessly as him, as if she were an artist dancing.
Damn, if this guy hadn't been ruined by old Brown in the Pistons, he would at least be an All-Star level center.
Yang Mo couldn't help but mutter in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly felt like he had found a treasure. If this guy could get his mind right again, it would definitely be better than going to the trading market to get a star center.
While Yang Mo was sighing at the treasure he had found, Phil Jackson, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but frown. He was very unfamiliar with the Knicks tonight, and he had never thought that Yang Mo could integrate five unfamiliar players so perfectly in such a short time. This was... magical!
"Well done, man! If you keep doing this, I will definitely invest in you to make a basketball movie about pretty boys." Yang Mo praised Milicic sincerely.
Milicic heard this, as if he was struck by a huge surprise. He rushed up and grabbed Yang Mo's shoulders: "Is it true? Yang? Are you willing to take me to make a movie?"
"Of course, if you have proven your worth and have influence, I will definitely be willing to add icing on the cake and make you the tallest Hollywood star in history." Yang Mo nodded, giving Milicic great hope!
Milicic was instantly excited when he heard this. He waved his fist and shouted twice happily: yes! yes!
