Chapter 375 Overturned
Unlike the three women with their hormones flying around, Emma Watson clenched her fists and looked nervous, but she didn't have any physical associations. She was just cheering for Yang Mo and was excited about Yang Mo's revenge. In a sense, she was more like a real basketball fan.
Yang Mo jumped down from the technical table and ran to the half court. He had just settled into his defensive position when Josh Smith came up to him. He was clearly not convinced yet.
"Boy, you're getting too arrogant too early. You just caught me off guard." Josh Smith blocked Yang Mo with his back to him, reaching for the ball while spewing trash talk: "Wait for me to end this attack with a dunk, and then I'll see how you end up. I'm going to ruin your reputation."
Josh Smith's tone was hard, and he looked like he wanted revenge.
Yang Mo didn't seem nervous at all when he heard this. Josh Smith's dunk was not a challenge for him. Instead, it was an opportunity, a chance to block the shot.
"I'll give you a chance to dunk. If you have the guts, just rush in and dunk." As he said that, Yang Mo automatically took two steps back, as if he was inviting someone into a trap.
At this moment, Mike Bibby had passed the basketball over. After Josh Smith reached out to catch the basketball, he seemed a little .
He was not stupid. He knew that Yang Mo was deliberately setting a trap for him. It looked like a smooth road, but who knows what conspiracy or intrigue might be hidden behind it. After all, Yang Mo was too cunning.
However, if he didn't rush in and chose to take an easy jump shot from outside, he would definitely be a laughing stock, regardless of whether he made the shot or not. Everyone would laugh at his courage and think that he didn't dare to challenge Yang Mo alone.
As he was weighing the pros and cons, Yang Mo continued to provoke him, "Don't you want to win the favor of the female star? Show your manliness. You are so timid, what can you compare with me?"
Yang Mo's stimulation shattered Josh Smith's hesitation at the right time, and he uttered an arrogant word from his throat: In that case, just wait to be held under my crotch!
As he said that, he suddenly leaned over, dribbled the ball and rushed towards the penalty area.
As he sprinted, Yang Mo shouted, "Clear the inside lane, leave this guy to me!"
As soon as he said this, David Lee and Milicic left quickly. Horford and Marvin Williams also subconsciously moved away, as they did not want to occupy too much of Josh Smith's jumping space. They still had confidence in Josh Smith, after all, Josh's physical fitness was very strong, and his height and wingspan were much better than Yang Mo's.
The Hawks players were full of hope for Josh Smith, and the Knicks players were not worried about their trump card at all. Only the New York fans who were unaware of the situation were still secretly worried about Yang Mo, fearing that Yang Mo would be dunked by Josh Smith. However, Super Yang's die-hard fans all had a calm expression, watching the show. They were full of confidence in their idol, because Super Yang had never let them down.
Josh Smith ran towards the penalty area with the ball, while Yang Mo immediately stepped back into the reasonable collision zone and then stopped. This was not a favorable position for him, as he could only jump from the spot and could not jump and block the shot by running forward.
However, although this position has obvious disadvantages, it also has an advantage. That is, no matter which way Josh Smith comes in, his dunk must pass through the position occupied by Yang Mo, because this position is just a little bit in front of the basket and cannot be bypassed at all.
Originally, Josh Smith wanted to shake his shoulders and change his steps to play some fake moves to fool Yang Mo, but when he saw Yang Mo looking at him as if he was an idiot, he immediately gave up these fake moves and instead concentrated on his strength, trying to use his absolute height and impact force to dunk over Yang Mo who was guarding the basket.
After he took two powerful steps, he suddenly jumped up with all his strength and flew into the air.
It has to be said that his physical fitness is excellent. His powerful explosive power allows his jumping speed to instantly reach a speed that can tear the air, and the height is a little beyond Yang Mo's expectations.
When Josh Smith soared into the air, Yang Mo did not jump immediately, but looked up at him. He was waiting, waiting for him to reach the highest point, waiting for him to expose the basketball.
Seeing Yang Mo motionless, Josh Smith in mid-air was stunned for a moment: Is he trying to make me commit an offensive foul? But his footsteps were clearly within the legal collision zone?
Time flies, and while he hesitated for a moment, his body was already falling. He quickly grabbed the basketball with his left hand and slammed it hard into the basket.
Seeing Josh Smith falling from the sky and Yang Mo standing still, countless New York fans felt heartbroken. Some even closed their eyes. They couldn't bear to see the ace who was arrogantly encouraging the fans before being ruthlessly dunked in the face the next moment.
At the same time, Josh Smith was extremely happy as he watched the basket getting closer and closer. He thought that he would soon succeed in slapping Yang Mo in the face and turn her into a laughing stock. He even started thinking about what to say when celebrating and what kind of love words he should say to the four female stars.
But at this moment, Yang Mo suddenly soared into the sky. Before Josh Smith could figure out what was going on, he found that the basketball he threw towards the basket was fiercely blocked by a giant hand. Just when he wanted to suppress this force, Yang Mo's power had already burst out like a mountain forest... When the huge force came like a tidal wave, Josh Smith, who was already at the end of his strength, lost the last bit of inertia of diving downwards!
When the inertia disappeared, the overwhelming resistance did not disappear at all, but became even more violent. In an instant, he was helpless in mid-air and fell headfirst like a leaf in the autumn wind... Boom!
Josh Smith was knocked to the ground by a slap, and his previous arrogance turned into pain in his back.
At the same time, the basketball that he was holding in his hand was pressed hard to the ground and then bounced out of bounds.
The referee was stunned for a second, then blew the whistle, indicating that the basketball was out of bounds and the ball still belonged to the Atlanta Hawks.
This penalty is equivalent to telling the world that Yang Mo's block of the shot that knocked his opponent to the ground was not a foul, but a beautiful dunk.
It was not until the referee blew the whistle that Madison Garden woke up from the shocking block. As soon as they woke up, they immediately burst into cheers and howls like an earth-shattering collapse. After a burst of shrill howls, they finally shouted out the nickname of the great hero in unison under the leadership of Yang Mo's fans: Super Yang!
The sound almost blew the roof off Madison Square Garden. They loved Yang Mo so much. They never dreamed that Yang Mo would fight back at the last moment and knock his opponent to the ground, using the most brutal force to complete the most powerful block, and by the way, shattered Josh Smith's arrogance.
Amid the cheers of the entire audience, Yang Mo slowly walked to Josh Smith's side, half-knelt down, stared into Smith's blank eyes, and asked coldly: "Now, do you still want to dunk over my head?"
Josh Smith did not answer or move, his eyes were still dull. He still couldn't believe that he was blocked by a counterattack when he was so sure of winning , and he was thrown to the ground with the ball in a shameful way.
"Remember, the person who blocked you is called Super Yang! You are welcome to come back next time to get revenge." Yang Mo said this with disdain, stood up, walked to the sidelines, and without asking any questions, he put his right hand to his ear.
Madison Square Garden did not hesitate for a moment, and quickly gave a uniform answer: Awesome!!!
When Yang Mo heard the exploding sound of satisfaction, he nodded slightly and muttered to himself: Yes, I feel great too.
At this time, the Eagles' team doctor quickly ran up and gave Josh Smith a detailed examination. They were also worried that Smith, who was directly thrown from the air, would suffer any serious injuries. But the result was that Smith was not seriously injured. Although it was a little painful, his expression was still full of disbelief. He still hadn't gotten over the shocking lesson.
drop!
Hawks coach Haywood requested a timeout. He needed to make some personnel adjustments. Although Smith was not injured, his mental state was not optimistic and he was basically unable to play. Appropriate psychological intervention was necessary to avoid leaving any shadow. He planned to talk to Smith in person to help him get out of the shadow of this shameful incident.
In fact, what he should have done more is to call LeBron James. After all, LeBron James was the first player to be knocked to the ground by Yang Mo's block, and he has more experience in this aspect. Of course, the premise of all this is that they have to have LeBron James' phone number and that LeBron James will not hang up the phone when he knows their intentions.
Haywood was worried about Smith's mood, but Stein was rubbing his hands in excitement. For him, if the Hawks' morale plummeted because of this humiliating block, then it meant that his first win in his NBA career would be born tonight. Winning the first game was undoubtedly a good sign.
