Chapter 49: Lopez Enters the Court
When everyone in China was cheering and relieving Yang Mo's roar, Zhou Yiyi, who had just turned on the TV and saw this scene, couldn't stop sobbing. She felt very distressed. Her man was now against thousands of people. Others saw Yang Mo's heroism, but she only saw the sadness. At this moment, she really wanted to stand beside Yang Mo and tell her that even if the world was against him, I would still stand behind you and fight against the whole world with you.
Zhou Yiyi was helpless and could only cry as he watched Yang Mo's lonely figure roaring. At this time, Jessica, who was sitting on the sidelines, stood up excitedly and did what Zhou Yiyi wanted to do but couldn't do. She shouted to Yang Mo: "Oppa, I love You! I'm always behind you, come on."
Although SM Entertainment warned Girls' Generation before the departure that they were not allowed to cheer for Yang Mo on the field, after all, this was Yang Mo's home field, and it would be bad if there was any disturbance. And their agency did not want to lose this market.
However, Jessica couldn't do this. She didn't want Yang Mo to face this cruel environment alone. She had to stand up and express her attitude at this time, and use this to tell Yang Mo: You are not fighting alone, I am always by your side.
Yang Mo heard the voice and turned his head to see Jessica cheering for him with tears on her face. At that moment, he was deeply moved. Although he was not afraid of the boos from more than 20,000 fans, he was not afraid of being enemies with them. But if someone stood up to express love at this time, then this person definitely loved him from the bottom of his heart.
Yang Mo immediately blew Jessica a kiss and told her, "I love you too, baby."
When this scene was transmitted to every corner of the world through radio waves, almost all viewers were moved. This is true love. A woman is willing to betray the whole world for a man. The courage required is definitely not something that can be matched by a few simple hypocritical words.
The most moved people were Koreans, because Jessica is their compatriot. Many Korean men were moved to tears: "Jessica and Yang Mo's love is so touching, my wife, come here, don't watch those melodramatic TV dramas, this is true love."
If TV viewers saw love, Pat Riley saw passion.
He loved Yang Mo so much, and this block was so exciting. To him, this was even more exciting than the dunk just now. At this moment, he was already thinking about what to say at the press conference after the game.
drop!
The referee blew the whistle and the game resumed.
After the restart, Yang Mo still followed Swift closely, mocking him as she followed him: "Didn't you say you were going to dunk on me? Come on, I'm waiting to set a new block record on your head."
"Just wait, brat." Swift said viciously. Yang Mo's block just now made him lose face. The only thing on his mind now was how to save his face later.
He wanted to save his face, but Devin Harris no longer believed in him, so even though he tried desperately to get the ball in the interior, Harris still didn't pass the ball to him. After dribbling a few times on the outside and being pressed by Mario Chalmers and Wade, he had no choice but to pass the basketball to Vince Carter, who directly pulled up for the shot...bang!
Basketball missed shots.
At the moment when the basketball missed, Swift was fully prepared. He thought that he must grab the rebound and then dunk. Only in this way could he save a little dignity. So, he pushed forward actively... But! He didn't move at all!
It felt like he was squeezed against a wall and couldn't move forward at all. He could only watch Yang Mo easily grab the basketball.
Pat Riley on the sidelines smiled happily as he watched this scene. This was Yang Mo's greatest skill. Although it was not as exciting as dunks and blocks, it was the most practical thing. Blocking is the most important factor in measuring an inside player, and Yang Mo scored full marks in this aspect. This was one of the reasons why he dared to use the No. 8 pick to select Yang Mo.
After grabbing the rebound, Yang Mo immediately made a long pass to Dwyane Wade, who took the ball and rushed into the restricted area. Bobby Simmons, who was defending, saw Wade cutting in like lightning and quickly got out of the way, as he didn't want to be caught in a two-plus-one.
boom!
The Nets' basket was once again severely ravaged, but this time the person who ravaged it was Dwyane Wade.
After Wade scored, there was still booing at the scene, but compared to Yang Mo, the scale of the booing was much smaller. Of course, Wade did not make arrogant gestures like Yang Mo, but ran back to the half court calmly.
He has been in this league for six years and has experienced all the ups and downs. His youthful passion has been hidden, replaced by maturity and restraint.
drop!
The Nets coach decisively requested a timeout, although the game had only been going on for less than a minute and a half so far, and the Heat had only scored four points. But anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Nets' momentum was completely suppressed, even though this was their home court, and even though they had more than 20,000 cheering players, the momentum created by those 20,000 people was not as good as Yang Mo's roar.
That guy is so annoying.
However, if this guy was Frank's player, he would definitely be dancing with excitement. Yes, even though Yang Mo only played for more than a minute, Frank already regarded Yang Mo as a very good rookie in his heart, not a fake. Because what Yang Mo showed was really amazing, with clever running, strong strength, excellent defensive awareness and strong blocking skills, this is simply a perfect inside player, even though he is a little short.
"Yang, well done." When the game was over, General Manager Pat Riley was the first to step forward and high-five Yang Mo. The two goals just now were really a relief for Pat Riley. He yelled in his heart: Stupid, open your eyes and take a good look, this is Pat Riley's vision. What's wrong with the No. 8 pick? He deserves a better pick.
Meanwhile, Frank was scolding Swift: "What's wrong with you? You can't handle a 6-foot-5 rookie? You can jump better than him, you're taller than him, you're better than him in everything, but he blocked your shot and you easily grabbed a rebound? Do you deserve your salary?"
"But...his power is too strong." Swift said weakly.
"You still have a reason? Sit on the bench, you won't have a chance to play tonight." Frank roared at him, and then said to Lopez next to him: "Brooke, it's up to you next. You have to kick his ass hard. If you deny it, you will ruin your reputation. Do you understand?"
Brook Lopez gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said viciously: "I will beat him up and let him know what a real American center is."
