Chapter 53: Wrong Judgment
The balance of the game seemed to have tilted towards the Heat because of Yang Mo's sudden appearance. Now no one dared to deny that Yang Mo could live up to his status as the No. 8 pick. However, basketball is not a one-man game. After the Blue Nets were beaten by the Heat with a 7:0 scoring wave, Vince Carter finally stood up and broke the scoring drought.
Vince Carter received the pass from Devin Harris, used Najera's thick body to block Dwyane Wade's defense, and jumped from outside the three-point line...swish !
Although Vince Carter has lost his abnormal jumping ability when he was young, his scoring methods have become more and more refined. The three-pointer, which he was not good at when he was young, has gradually become his main scoring firepower. This is an inevitable process. When he was young, he played with passion and abnormal physical fitness. After he is old and weak, if he still plays in this way, he can only enjoy the hot pot and blocks of the younger generation. This is a natural law that no one can challenge. Even Michael Jordan had to focus on post-up singles in the later period, let alone Vince Carter?
After Vince Carter scored the goal, the Nets fans who had been suppressed for a long time finally burst into thunderous cheers, and the cheers seemed to lift the ceiling of the stadium.
Looking at the crazy cheers of the Nets fans, Yang Mo couldn't help but chuckle again: These idiots are so suppressed that they get so excited just by a three-pointer.
Basketball games are not like football games where one goal can decide the outcome. In a basketball game, at least 40 or 50 balls will be thrown into each basket, so one goal really can't decide anything.
Yang Mo didn't care, and neither did the entire Heat team.
Back in half court, Dwyane Wade broke through the basket and caused Najera to foul, making one of two free throws.
After the serve, the Nets immediately launched a fast break. Vince Carter took the ball to the frontcourt and took a direct shot from outside the three-point line without any reason...Swish!
The basketball fell into the net.
Now, the Nets fans were even crazier, and they shouted Vince Carter's name. Since Jason Kidd left, Vince Carter has become their team's core and spiritual leader. Now Vince Carter stood up at the most critical moment of the team and took the team's victory or defeat on his shoulders. This is the role of a superstar.
"Yang, come here." Dwyane Wade waved to Yang Mo and said, "If Najera sets a screen for Carter again, we will switch defense directly. He is in a hot hand right now, and we must use pressure to disrupt his rhythm."
"Yeah, okay." Yang Mo nodded. He also felt that he couldn't let Vince Carter continue to act like this. If he continued to play like this, the Heat would be shot to death by him.
After Mario Chalmers brought the ball to the front court, Dwyane Wade reached out to him again for the ball. After getting the ball, Yang Mo quickly went out to make a screen for him. Dwyane Wade used Yang Mo's screen to quickly get rid of Vince Carter's defense, but when he rushed to the free throw line, he was blocked by Najera's strong body. At this time, Vince Carter also made up for the defense.
"Hey, hey." Yang Mo quickly reached out for the ball.
However, Dwyane Wade chose to force a shot...Bang!
The basketball missed the target, and Yi Jianlian suppressed Haslem and grabbed the rebound.
At the moment when Dwyane Wade forced a shot, Yang Mo had already quickly run back to the half court. At the same time, Vince Carter also received a long pass from Yi Jianlian and rushed towards the half court.
Well, let's see how you shoot three-pointers again.
Yang Mo opened his arms and waited for Vince Carter just one step outside the three-point line.
At this time, a one-on-one situation formed on the field, and the fans in the stadium were shouting : "Vensi, beat that Chinese guy!" "Teach him a lesson, Vensi!" "Kill him!" "..."
All Nets fans were expecting Vince Carter to teach Yang Mo a lesson, because he was too arrogant just now and knocked two Nets inside players off the court one after another. They were expecting Vince Carter to get back on track.
Nets fans wanted Vince Carter to get back at the plate, but when facing the aggressive Yang Mo, Vince Carter suddenly felt a little unsure, because when this kid stood there, Vince Carter couldn't help but feel like he had no idea where to start.
Vince Carter rushed to Yang Mo and stopped immediately. He slammed Yang Mo twice in a row, trying to trick her, but Yang Mo didn't move at all, with an expression that said, "Stop playing, you can't fool me like this."
Seeing that Yang Mo was not fooled at all and could not find any way to break through, Vince Carter quickly shook his shoulders and made a shooting motion. Yang Mo subconsciously moved his center of gravity upwards and tried to block the shot.
But after Vince Carter made a shooting move, he quickly collected the ball and rushed in when he saw the opportunity. At this time, Spoelstra and Pat Riley on the sidelines were already shouting: "Referee, wrist flip, wrist flip! Call him!"
However, the referee was unmoved. This is the treatment of superstars.
When Vince Carter broke through Yang Mo, the space in front of him was clear. He quickly rushed into the paint area, took a step and jumped high. At this moment, he found a black shadow emerging from behind him , as if chasing him.
This kid actually reacts so quickly?
Vince Carter muttered to himself, was shocked, and quickly gave up the idea of dunking. He switched the basketball from his right hand to his left hand, preparing for a reverse layup.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the basket, Vince Carter quickly did a back-up movement in the air, then raised his left hand high. Just as he was about to gently flick the basketball out with his fingers... snap!
A hand slapped his basketball, and it was immediately knocked out of the court.
Aren’t this boy’s hands too long?
Vince Carter was horrified. He was convinced that the ball was blocked. If he was younger, he would have done a windmill dunk. He was confident that Yang Mo could not catch up with him, but now... he had to admit that he was old.
Just when Vince Carter himself thought that this attack had failed, the referee stood up... Ding!
The referee whistled a foul on Yang Mo!
Wow!
The Nets fans, who were originally heartbroken, suddenly burst into excitement. They were so happy. Finally... their spiritual leader was not defeated. They won !
As the fans cheered like a climax, Yang Mo walked towards the referee angrily and shouted, "Hey, sir, I can guarantee that I didn't touch his skin at all. This was a very clean block."
The referee ignored Yang Mo and walked straight to the court to prepare for a free throw.
Yang Mo wanted to continue talking, but Beasley rushed over and hugged Yang Mo: "Brother, do you want to do the same as last time? You didn't hit my hand that time, but the referee still called a foul on you. It's the same this time. Carter is a superstar, and the referee will definitely favor him."
Hearing Beasley's words, Yang Mo immediately understood, and then turned around and asked, "Then why did you explain last time?"
"I...I..." Beasley hesitated and said awkwardly: "I'm not afraid of losing."
"You..." Yang Mo's anger could only be transformed into a curse: "Fuck!"
At this moment, the big screen on the court was replaying the scene just now... Sure enough, the camera behind the backboard accurately captured it, and it was a clean block.
All of a sudden, all the fans in the stadium fell silent.
