Chapter 397 The Grand Drama Begins
Yang Mo was cheering in the locker room, while the fans in Madison Square Garden were shouting LeBron James' name, just like last season. This has become a tradition in the Big Apple. They have never been shameless in hooking up with big-name stars. As for the concept of shame in winning or losing, it has long disappeared with the team's weakness over the years.
When Yang Mo led the home team players out of the locker room and heard someone shouting LeBron James' name, his face turned pale. He was disgusted by the fans' open flattery of the enemy. In his opinion, nothing could be more shameless than this.
Yang Mo was extremely angry, but the other Knicks players had already gotten used to it. Anyway, the fans in the Big Apple had been doing this since they joined the team, always cheering for the other team's big-name stars and shouting MVP, just like slutty bitches who were willing to sleep with anyone and had no shame at all.
"Guys, let's just treat this as an away game." Yang Mo patted his teammates on the shoulders, stretched out his hand and encouraged them loudly: "Since they want to cheer for the other side, we can only disappoint these bastards. Come on, join hands and kill the Cavaliers!"
Yang Mo's angry shout aroused the dissatisfaction of his teammates, and the flames were instantly ignited. Almost everyone stretched their necks and shouted with red faces: Kill the knight.
No one can accept outsiders coming to their place to bully others. People have self-esteem and territorial awareness. Although New York fans are promiscuous, Knicks players still subconsciously regard them as their own people. Whether they are passively attracted or actively flirting, it is a thorn in the skin of Knicks players. It's just like no man can accept his woman flirting with other men.
Soon, time passed to the game point, and when the DJ shouted the names of the home team players, the cheers were not enthusiastic. Instead, when the visiting team players were introduced, the New York fans gave LeBron James a huge cheer and scream.
This undoubtedly fueled LeBron James' arrogance. Before going on the court, he even walked to the technical table and sprinkled a handful of magnesium powder, causing screams from the audience, as if he was at his home court.
LeBron James walked towards the court proudly like a king on patrol, but Yang Mo quickly gave him a cold look and an indifferent greeting: "Long time no see, defeated opponent, are you ready to be killed by me?"
Yang Mo's greeting was naked without any kindness, and she declared war right away.
This direct attack without beating around the bush actually made LeBron James stunned for a moment, and then he gave his response: "You, don't dream, I will kick your ass tonight."
LeBron James hesitated for a while before speaking hesitantly, which undoubtedly put him at a disadvantage in momentum.
Perhaps to make up for this decline, he quickly added: "Look, even the fans of your home team don't think highly of you! They are all cheering for me!"
"I will use the result of the game to slap you, and those who blindly cheer for you, in the face." Yang Mo sneered and responded: "I don't need fans at all. Only the weak need others' approval to prove their strength. You are that weak person!!"
Yang Mo's words were still merciless.
At this moment, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and Milicic easily passed the ball to Larry Hughes with his right middle finger. O'Neal, who was standing opposite him and wanted to jump the ball with him, didn't even jump. He was already in the last years of his career and was too fat. All his agility and jumping speed in his youth were given back to time, leaving only an overweight body.
Tonight, Stein's starting lineup was Larry Hughes, Yang Mo, Wilt Chandler, David Lee and Milicic.
To be fair, this lineup is not bad, because all five players are strong. But once they get into a positional battle, it is difficult for these five people to have real cooperation, because they don't have a point guard, so there is no way to have a chemical reaction. But fortunately, sometimes you can win even without a chemical reaction.
The Cavaliers' starting lineup is Mo Williams, Deron Wesley, LeBron James, Varejao and Shaquille O'Neal.
Compared with the Knicks who had no point guard, the Cavaliers luxuriously put up two point guards, plus LeBron James who started out , so this is a lineup with three point guards.
Both lineups went to extremes from the very beginning, and it looked like a collision of ice and fire.
At the beginning, Larry Hughes had a rivalry with Mo Williams. Larry Hughes was once a member of the Cavaliers, and his status in the Cavaliers was very high. He was not only the second in command, but also a mentor to LeBron James in a sense. But later... a series of problems led to his removal from the team, and now Mo Williams has replaced him.
The old love and the new love are in a mess, everyone wants to prove themselves, it is impossible to avoid tension.
Larry Hughes was ready to play one-on-one from the start, and Yang Mo did not stop him, but acquiesced to it. Regarding the duel between him and LeBron James, although the outside world said it was hot and fierce, he was not in a hurry to fight from the beginning, he would rather be the one who laughs last. He has enough patience and confidence to wait for that moment to come.
Larry Hughes dribbled to the frontcourt, and after a few changes of direction, Yang Mo took the initiative to move up and set a screen for him, which also attracted most of the defensive attention for him. In the end, he easily hit an unguarded pull-up jump shot .
After scoring the goal, he waved his arms excitedly, and then showed off his muscles to Mo Williams. Even Yang Mo could feel the gunpowder smell.
At this time, Milicic quietly ran behind him and whispered to Yang Mo: "Yang, have you seen Paris?"
"Yeah, I saw it." Yang Mo pointed at Paris Hilton in the front row and said.
"She seemed to be wearing your jersey tonight." Milicic said somewhat sourly.
Hearing Milicic's words, Yang Mo immediately knew that this guy was jealous. In order to prevent this guy from giving up at the critical moment, Yang Mo quickly explained: "Your jersey is so big, how can it fit her small body? My jersey is smaller. Besides, didn't she have dinner with you last time? I will help you make another appointment tonight. You play well and try to make more good impressions. Do you understand?"
Milicic thought about it for a moment and felt that what Yang Mo said made sense: "Well, you are right, my jersey is indeed too big. I will play well later, you pass the ball to me more, and when I play well, I will have dinner with her tonight!!!"
"Yes! Come on!" Yang Mo quickly encouraged.
Encouraged by this, Milicic jumped excitedly and ran over like a elk.
Seeing this, Yang Mo finally put down the heavy stone in his heart. At this time, Chandler next to him laughed and joked: "Yang, you can't bully a fool like this. The jerseys sold in the store are different from the ones we wear. Your jerseys are the same size."
After hearing this, Yang Mo quickly blocked his mouth with words: "Just keep your mouth shut. If you get jealous, it will be terrible."
Chandler laughed twice and quickly ran over to defend.
After half court, LeBron James had already rushed over with the ball. When LeBron James came over with the ball, Yang Mo thought he would definitely start with a dunk, so he was ready to defend Chandler. However, LeBron James surprisingly did not choose to attack himself, but pretended to break through the Knicks' defense and passed the ball to Mo Williams who was running to the bottom corner. Williams took the ball and shot it, making a three-pointer!
After the three-pointer, Williams responded to Larry Hughes in a particularly arrogant manner: "I can shoot three-pointers, can you?"
Mo Williams' words really made Larry Hughes speechless. He was not afraid of anything else except three-pointers. Three-pointers were his Achilles' heel.
At this time, Yang Mo, who was furious after hearing what Williams said, stretched out his hand and hooked his finger at Mo Williams, saying, "How about you come and practice three-pointers with me?"
As soon as Yang Mo said this, Mo Williams quickly shut up. He had suffered a great loss in front of Yang Mo before. And to compete with Yang Mo in three-point shooting, isn't that courting death? Even Ray Allen wouldn't dare to compete with him, right? He is Reggie Miller's apprentice.
Mo Williams ran back to the front court with his tail between his legs and his head hooked, which was considered as knowing the situation. Otherwise, if he really competed with Yang Mo, he would inevitably be humiliated. In the current Cavaliers, only LeBron is qualified to make a decision with Yang Mo. The rest are not qualified. After all, Yang Mo is no longer the rookie who was yelled at a year ago. He has made a name for himself with his skills and ruthlessness. In the past year, the number of rampant minions he has killed is in double digits!
Because Mo Williams knew his own situation, Yang Mo still did not take the initiative to attack after returning to the frontcourt, but continued to set screens for Larry Hughes. Larry Hughes also tried his best and forced him to hit a three-pointer in return!
The three-pointer instantly boosted Larry Hughes' morale . He pounded his chest and roared, clearing away the depression in his heart. He even shouted at Mo Williams: "Isn't it just a three-pointer? I can do it in my first year!"
His shouting caught the attention of the referee, who quickly came over to remind him and said something to Mo Williams, telling the two to stop getting too excited. It was beyond everyone's expectation that the two suddenly took the lead! !
