Chapter 52: Three Points Yang Mo
Although the game is not over yet, the duel between Yang Mo and Lopez has already been decided. Yang Mo played for three minutes, like a god descending from heaven, majestic and awe-inspiring, and played a crucial role both on the defensive and offensive ends. In fact, if the numbers of Yang Mo and Wade's jerseys were covered, people would definitely think that the core of the Heat is Yang Mo, because from the beginning, Yang Mo controlled the rhythm of the game.
On the other hand, Lopez, who had said before the game that he would beat Yang Mo, didn't score a single point, was blocked once, committed a foul and received a technical foul. In addition to these three shameful statistics, his ugly behavior on the court made his fans extremely disappointed. Originally, they thought that Lopez could beat Yang Mo, the short Chinese guy, but now it seems that he should thank God if he doesn't get beaten to a pulp.
No one expected Yang Mo to be so strong. This was beyond everyone's expectations, even beyond Pat Riley's imagination. Although this summer, he kept hearing the coach who guided Yang Mo come over to praise how amazing Yang Mo's learning talent was, he never thought that Yang Mo would be a one-in-a-million competitive player. No wonder when he first tried Yang Mo, he said that he was a practical player. Fortunately, he did not reject him because of his slightly mediocre physical fitness at that time, otherwise he would have lost a true genius.
There are two types of geniuses. One is a physical genius, such as Swift and Kwame Brown. They are this kind of genius, but... they are all called fakes in the end because they have no competitive temperament and can't find their own rhythm on the court. The other is Iverson and Rodman, who may have some physical talents but can use their amazing willpower and desire to win to maximize their advantages, play their own style on the court, and help the team win in their own way.
Yang Mo is the second type of genius. As soon as he stands on the court, Pat Riley can feel a murderous aura, a murderous aura that requires him to hold victory in his hands.
Soon, the game resumed. As he expected Frank to bench Lopez, Heat coach Spoelster put Magloire on the bench and replaced Haslem. Yang Mo, who was only 6 feet 5 inches tall, continued to play center. This was an interesting combination. The center was almost as tall as the point guard. The tallest player was actually the small forward Beasley, who was 6 feet 8 inches tall.
The Nets replaced Najera, a tough player. Although he was not tall, he was still half a head taller than Yang Mo. Frank replaced Najera with a strong body because he wanted to force him. Yang Mo, you are strong and good at rebounding, right? Then I will replace him with a super blue-collar player , and taller than you!
Frank's substitution strategy was correct , but he underestimated Yang Mo, who has never been a blue-collar worker.
When Yang Mo returned to the court, he found that Najera was the one defending him, so he decided not to go inside and stayed outside the three-point line. Najera was a little dumbfounded, thinking: What's wrong with this guy? Doesn't he love to go to the restricted area to show off his muscles and strength? Why is he staying outside the three-point line now? Isn't he a center?
Najera was confused, but Yang Mo quickly explained. After Mario Chalmers dribbled the ball a few times outside the three-point line and failed to find his teammates, he passed the ball to Yang Mo outside the three-point line, hoping that he could transfer the ball.
But Yang Mo took the ball and shot directly without looking for other teammates.
When Yang Mo made the move, Nahura didn't react at all. He didn't expect Yang Mo to make the move. In fact, no one on the field expected it.
Just as everyone was surprised, whoosh!
The basketball drew a beautiful arc and went into the net very smoothly!
At that moment, the whole audience was stunned.
This guy can actually shoot three points? ? ? ?
The Nets fans couldn't believe their eyes.
Yang Mo was already shaking his head in celebration. He was waving three fingers and shaking his head left and right, as if he was dancing the Xinjiang dance.
The action was funny, but no one in the audience could laugh because the basketball went into their net.
"Tell me, is my three-point shot good?" After dancing the Xinjiang dance for a while, Yang Mo put her hands on her ears, pretending to listen, and shouted loudly to Girls' Generation on the sidelines.
"Excellent!" The nine girls gave a thumbs up at the same time. At this moment, they didn't care about any company bans. Oppa was interacting with us, so we couldn't ignore him.
"YES!" Yang Mo waved her hand excitedly, as if she had received recognition from the whole world.
The Nets fans couldn't stand Yang Mo's showing off and started booing loudly.
But Yang Mo didn't care at all. He shrugged his shoulders and teased Qin Nahura: "Uncle, I'm different from you. My major is a shooter, and rebounding is just my hobby. So, next time you defend me, you have to pay more attention. Don't let me shoot three-pointers like this time, or your coach will criticize you."
If Yang Mo said this to Lopez, Lopez would have thrown a punch at Yang Mo angrily. But Najera was different. He had been in the league for eight or nine years, and even a foul-mouthed Garnett had not made him violent. He could handle Yang Mo's little teasing.
Najera remained calm, so Yang Mo stopped teasing him because he knew it was useless, so why waste his breath?
When Yang Mo ran back to the frontcourt, the commentators broadcasting this event were all a little excited.
"This kid can actually shoot three-pointers? Is he lucky?" ESPN chief commentator Mike Breen said excitedly. He was not optimistic about Yang Mo at all before, but Yang Mo's performance on the court changed his attitude little little.
"No, absolutely not." Former NBA assists leader Mark Jackson said with certainty: "His shot is very soft and his posture is extremely beautiful. At the moment of shooting, his eyes are full of confidence. He is definitely a natural shooter."
"I agree with Mark's point of view. This time, we were all wrong. We shouldn't have underestimated a rookie player. I feel a little hot on my face now. I feel guilty for what I said before." Another guest commentator Bill Simmons apologized sincerely. As a famous NBA commentator, he has criticized countless stars. Yang Mo was also attacked by him in three consecutive articles, but now he has finally made a serious apology.
"This time, Pat Riley won again." Mark Jackson shook his head helplessly. The most glorious season of his playing career ended under the team led by Pat Riley, so he had resentment towards Pat Riley, but there was nothing he could do, the winner is the winner.
The three ESPN commentators were reluctant to apologize for their behavior of looking down on Yang Mo, but the CCTV studio, which was also broadcasting the game, was excited. The host Yu Jia said in his particularly disgusting and sensational tone: "I feel that at this moment, Yang Mo carries the strength of many predecessors. His three-pointer reminded me of those shining geniuses in the history of Chinese basketball, Hu Weidong, Liu Yuton, Li Nan, Sun Jun, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng... At this moment, Yang Mo is not fighting alone."
If Yang Mo heard his sentimental words, she would have spit in his face: "Damn it, how come I became possessed by their spirits after practicing three points with great effort? They are geniuses, but don't blame me. My three points have nothing to do with feudal superstition."
