Chapter 373: Is the job good?
As Yang Mo's strength pressed forward, Jamal Crawford instantly felt a strong pressure, which made him stagger. Fortunately, he was skilled in playing the ball, otherwise he would have lost the ball.
Yang Mo's strength is overwhelming in the paint, so wouldn't it be overwhelming on the outside? Although basketball is not a sport that tests strength, strength is also very important. It's like putting a 60kg boxer and a 120kg boxer in an iron cage at the same time, the outcome is predictable.
Although Crawford is not strong and his defense is not good, he is a top-notch presence in offense. And his behind-the-back double-dribble technique can be said to be one of the unsolvable bugs in the NBA.
Therefore, he quickly avoided Yang Mo's oppression. Although he was not calm enough, he was able to find a corresponding way to deal with it.
Yang Mo never thought that he could defend his opponent with strength alone, so he chased him closely, constantly stretching his arms to block his way. Yang Mo's height disadvantage in the inside wrestling was obvious, but against Crawford, he had an absolute advantage. Whether it was height, arm span or strength. Except for agility, he was slightly inferior, but his excellent speed was enough to catch up with any defender.
Jamal Crawford could only keep retreating under Yang Mo's tight defense, dodging like a peekaboo. After being entangled outside the three-point line for nearly seven or eight seconds, he had to ask Horford to come out and screen for him. Using the gap in the screen, he slightly got rid of Yang Mo's defense and quickly jumped up and shot... swish!
He actually threw in this embarrassing three-pointer.
To Yang Mo, his defense was almost perfect. This guy could make a shot even when there was no gap, so what else could he do?
If Yang Mo's defense in the interior can be regarded as B+ level, then his defense in the outside is definitely A+ or even S level. His speed, strength and wingspan are enough to create difficult problems for any opponent in single defense.
However, basketball is a team sport. Five people can create countless offensive combinations on the court. It is impossible to limit the opponent by relying on individual defense. Just like the Jamal Crawford shot, can you say that Yang Mo did not defend well? Of course not. But he still scored.
"Boy, you're still a little immature. See, this is called a three-pointer!" Jamal Crawford couldn't help but boast to Yang Mo with a smug look on his face after scoring the goal. After that, he whistled to stimulate the fans at the scene. He seemed to want to tell the New Yorkers that trading him away was a stupid decision.
He could just think about this idea in his mind, but if he used it to provoke Yang Mo, it would only mean that he didn't understand this fighting maniac well enough.
Yang Mo sneered, "Do you want to know what three points means? Okay, I'll satisfy you!"
As he said that, Yang Mo turned around and took the ball from Milicic, then stared at Jamal Crawford and walked towards the front court step by step. When he was two meters away from the three-point line, Yang Mo suddenly stopped and said to Jamal Crawford: "Pay attention, I'm going to shoot a three-pointer."
Jamal Crawford heard this and subconsciously glanced at the distance between Yang Mo and the three-point line, then bent down and took a half step back. He thought that distance was safe. He didn't believe that anyone could maintain a high hit rate at that position, so he stepped back boldly.
At this moment, Yang Mo jumped up calmly and then took action!
Seeing Yang Mo shoot in front of him, Jamal Crawford was dumbfounded. Is this guy crazy? How dare he shoot from such a long distance?
Just as he turned around and was about to remind Horford and Marvin Williams to grab the rebound...swish!
The basketball went through the white net steadily, and the sound of the net swishing made the fans in the stadium go crazy instantly. They loved this answer ball too much, it was too timely and too powerful. Crawford, aren't you arrogant? Didn't you whistle? Come on, do it again, and see if Super Yang will kill you!
"Did you see that? This is a textbook-level three-point jump shot." Yang Mo glanced at Jamal Crawford, whose eyes looked a little dull, with disdain, and responded with an even more arrogant attitude.
Jamal Crawford immediately felt like he was slapped in the face, and he couldn't resist because the other person really made a three-pointer. He could only make up an excuse in response: "It was just a sneak attack when I wasn't defending."
"I did warn you." Yang Mo was even more disdainful after hearing this: "But I always like to trample on people like you who are willing to gamble and never admit defeat. For the next ball, you must pay attention to defense. I will also hit a three-pointer over your head!"
Having said that, Yang Mo turned around and ran back to half court, giving Crawford a look of arrogance and domineering.
Crawford was undoubtedly angry at Yang Mo's arrogance, so he couldn't wait to get the ball again to kill Yang Mo's spirit. However, at this time, Joe Johnson took the basketball from Mike Bibby. He could only watch, because this was Joe Johnson's team, and he was the leader of this team. And he was just a deputy, nothing more.
Joe Johnson was not comfortable with Jeffries's persistence in getting the ball. Jeffries was originally a defensive stalwart, and his attitude improved by leaps and bounds after Yang Mo inspired him. Although his physical strength was not good enough, he was more than enough to deal with a technical player like Joe Johnson.
At this time, Stan Keen on the sidelines was very satisfied after seeing this. He liked players who could defend. After spending ten years in Georgetown, he had already replaced all his blood with defensive factors.
After several unsuccessful attacks, Joe Johnson quickly passed the ball to Marvin Williams. Williams received the ball, quickly got rid of David Lee's defense, and made a mid-range shot...swish!
The basketball hit the target steadily.
David Lee's defense made Stein Keen on the sidelines shake his head and sigh. This guy's defense is really too bad, but he is already the best choice for the Knicks at the power forward position . As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice, which is probably Stein's current predicament.
Yang Mo was not surprised by David Lee's defensive miss, and he didn't even criticize David Lee. This guy was going to leave before the All-Star Game started anyway, so there was no need to teach him a lesson, just let him go, after all, he was the best choice.
Running back to the half court empty-handed, Yang Mo immediately reached out to Douglas for the ball. After receiving the ball, Yang Mo smiled at the other players and said, "Brothers, I will pass the ball to you more after I teach this guy a lesson!"
Yang Mo spoke very frankly, as if beating Crawford was a foregone conclusion.
This made Crawford very unhappy, so as soon as Yang Mo finished speaking, he stuck close to him and tried to stop Yang Mo from dribbling.
But with his small body, he wants to lock Yang Mo up. Is this a joke?
Yang Mo turned his back with his right foot as the axis, raised his buttocks, and immediately pushed Crawford one step away. Then he put the ball down and dribbled with his back very easily.
If we use the back-to-the-basket defense to play against Crawford, it would be too easy, because Yang Mo can only beat the butts of at least 70% of the inside players in the NBA, so why should we mention Crawford, a small inside player?
So when Yang Mo had hit Crawford twice with his back to the ground, making him almost vomit his overnight meal, he turned around very quickly. At this time, Yang Mo already had the space to shoot, but in order to show off, or to hit Crawford more deeply, he did not shoot, but hooked his finger at him and said, "Hey, in case you find another excuse, come here quickly, I'll give you another chance to defend."
Yang Mo's hook action was no less than a bullfighter waving a red cloth to an angry bull, which immediately aroused all of Crawford's anger, and then he rushed forward with FUCK rolling in his throat. At this time, Yang Mo suddenly broke through to the left, and Crawford, who was rushing forward, quickly stopped and stepped back.
Just as he was about to step back, Yang Mo suddenly pulled back, his body had already retreated outside the three-point line, and then... jumped up, whoosh!
It was too late for Crawford to come over to defend, and the basketball had already flown into the air.
Because Yang Mo is no longer the Yang Mo of last season, his explosiveness is already top-notch in the NBA. Although he has not yet found the technique to fully unleash this explosiveness, he can still shoot calmly without being disturbed when his opponent is fooled. After all, this is another time difference.
This time difference is why Yang Mo wanted to recruit McGrady to join the team, because McGrady's pull-up shot does not require a time difference. He can directly use his super explosive power to forcibly create a time difference in reaction. This is why he scored so many points on pull-up shots during his peak period.
No one doesn't want to make scoring easier, and Yang Mo is no exception, so he extended an olive branch to McGrady, who had almost become a useless man.
At this time, the basketball that flew past Crawford was already heading towards the basket. As the basketball got closer and closer to the basket, Crawford's frustration grew stronger and stronger. Whoosh!
When the basketball hit the net accurately, Crawford suddenly felt humiliated.
It felt like my virginity was taken away from me by force and I was powerless to resist.
Crawford felt insulted, but Yang Mo refused to give in and continued to challenge him: "Young man, this is how you shoot a three-pointer. Do you understand?"
At this moment, Haywood requested a substitution. He replaced Jamal Crawford with Josh Smith. In this way, Joe Johnson moved to the shooting guard position.
Haywood originally wanted to use former Knicks players to humiliate the Knicks, so he promoted Crawford to the starting lineup. However, this guy was beaten to a pulp by Yang Mo right from the start. As a result, he had to replace Josh Smith early to improve the team's mobility and athletic ability.
When Jamal Crawford was substituted out, Yang Mo couldn't help but feel lonely. He finally found a target to be bullied, but he was substituted out after playing for less than two minutes. Yang Mo had no choice but to talk to Joe Johnson, a boring guy: "Hey, man, what do you think of my two three-pointers just now?"
Joe Johnson remained calm when he heard this, and didn't say a word. He knew Yang Mo wanted to talk trash to him, and he also knew that if he talked back, he would definitely fall for it, so he turned a deaf ear to her.
Joe Johnson was so boring that Yang Mo did not continue to talk to him. To him, this kind of Duncan-like player was the most hateful. He liked to provoke those players who were easily emotional, and this kind of wooden lump was very boring.
Unconsciously, the Eagles suddenly accelerated the rhythm of offense and defense. Their players are destined not to be a slow-paced lineup. When Josh Smith is on the court, they can't slow down.
Although the Knicks have a taller interior than the Hawks, they are also fast. David Lee is a run-and-gun player, and Milicic was described as being able to run like a deer during the draft.
Running back to the half court, Mike Bibby did not pass the ball directly to Joe Johnson but to Marvin Williams in the paint. Williams easily shook David Lee off after a few shakes. Just as he was about to shoot, Jeffries quickly rushed over to make up for the defense. As soon as he made up for the defense, Josh Smith cut straight into the penalty area. Williams quickly threw the ball, and Smith jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket!
They have perfect tacit understanding. When the defense is leaking, Josh Smith, whose physical fitness is only slightly worse than LeBron James, can definitely dunk the basketball into the basket easily.
Although it was Jeffries' defender Josh Smith who made the dunk this time, most of the responsibility should fall on David Lee. If he had not failed to keep up with Williams, Jeffries would not have had to step forward to defend. If he had not stepped forward to defend, Josh Smith would not have had the chance to take off, let alone slam the ball into the basket in the air.
When they returned to the half court, Yang Mo called Milicic and Jeffries aside and had a chat: "You don't need to help David Lee with defense from now on. Just defend your own people. Let Marvin Williams shoot alone."
Both of them nodded; they didn't want to clean up other people's mess.
When Douglas brought the ball to the front court, he immediately gave it to Yang Mo. Joe Johnson also stepped forward to defend. Although Joe Johnson was not a defensive stalwart, he was undoubtedly much better than Jamal Crawford.
At least his current defensive strategy makes Yang Mo a little embarrassed. Although he is defending against breakthroughs rather than shots, the distance of one step is not far for him, and he also has a strong advantage in height.
Seeing that this guy could defend both penetration and shooting, Yang Mo simply turned his back and shamelessly used the back-to-the-basket method to deal with the big man in the interior. When Yang Mo turned his back, Joe Johnson wanted to resist at first, but when Yang Mo's first attack came like a tidal wave... bang!
He was immediately hit so hard that his internal organs boiled and he almost vomited blood. He quickly dared not to resist any more, and kept muttering in his heart: Isn't this a bully? Who can defend you if you push like this? Even a reckless man like LeBron James can't do it.
Indeed, when Yang Mo used his post-up technique on the perimeter, no one on the perimeter could defend him. Fortunately, his post-up jump shot hit rate was not too high. If he could improve his hit rate, he would really become a terrifying weapon. In fact, his bulldozer style of play has now reached the level of a bug.
Yang Mo pressed forward step by step, and Joe Johnson could only retreat step by step. When Yang Mo retreated to the free throw line unhindered, he suddenly turned around, then passed the ball to Jeffries who was running towards him quickly, and then quickly stood over to help him block Josh Smith who came to defend.
Jeffries immediately jumped up and shot easily... Unfortunately, the basketball was still a little off... Bang!
But soon Milicic was in the air under the basket, he jumped high and stuffed the ball into the basket! Boom!
Instantly, cheers rang out at the scene. Although not as loud as Yang Mo's, it was enough to make Milicic excited. He deliberately ran to where Paris Hilton was sitting and stretched out his hand to try to high-five her, but when his palm reached Paris Hilton, Hilton quickly took it back.
It made him feel really bad, but luckily the kind-hearted Emma Watson high-fived him, as did Spike Lee.
But this compensation did not make him happy, because he loved Paris Hilton and he wanted to have sex with her!
Perhaps seeing Milicic's disappointment and worrying that he would sink into despair, Yang Mo quickly went up to encourage him: "Maybe she just didn't see it just now. I will introduce you to someone later. Don't worry, as long as you beat her well, even if I have to tie her up, I will tie her to your bed."
Yang Mo's words finally made Milicic smile. He said shyly, "Actually, I also have some experience in bondage SM. What I am best at is wax dripping."
"Uh..." Yang Mo really didn't know how to answer, because he didn't understand these perverted things at all.
While Yang Mo and Milicic were discussing Paris Hilton, Paris Hilton was also quietly asking Christine: "Sister, is Super Yang's thing big? Can it satisfy you?"
"Probably a little smaller than here." Christine pinched her little arm to demonstrate.
Wow!
Paris Hilton couldn't help but scream, and the country music queen Swift next to her also opened her mouth wide.
"Is his job good? Do you enjoy it every time?" Paris Hilton continued to ask shamelessly in a low voice in Kristen's ear.
