Chapter 57: The suspense fades
After the Nets' team doctor made a preliminary diagnosis, he quickly asked his assistant to bring a stretcher, put Devin Harris on it, and then carried him out of the court. Judging from his expression of pain when he left, it was impossible for him to return to the stadium tonight.
After Devin Harris left, the Nets had to replace him with Keyon Dooling, a shooting-oriented point guard.
The game continued and the referee didn't even call a foul on Yang Mo. Although Yang Mo knocked Devin Harris to the ground, from his perspective, Yang Mo did not commit a foul. It was a clean block.
When the referee announced that the ball belonged to the Heat, the fans at the scene burst into boos again. They were very dissatisfied with the penalty.
But...so what?
Can they still rush up and beat up the referee?
If they can, then the Nets owner will cry. The greedy Stern will definitely fine him until he cries, and by the way, cancel some of his home game qualifications.
Qian Moss dribbled the ball to the front court, but because the Nets had prepared in advance and had already taken a defensive position, he could not play a fast break and could only attack from the field. Because the Nets adopted a man-to-man defense tactic, the weakness of his weak body was magnified at once.
Under the tight pressure, Chalmers seemed to have difficulty dribbling the ball, so he quickly looked for an opportunity to pass the ball to Dwyane Wade.
As soon as Wade got the ball, Yang Mo automatically ran out and made a solid pick-and-roll for him.
Yang Mo blocked the defense for Wade, and he immediately rushed into the penalty area. But when he rushed to the free throw line, Najera blocked his way again, and Bobby Simmons next to him also took the opportunity to close in and prepare to double-team Wade. At the same time, Vince Carter behind him also caught up.
All of a sudden, a three-ring arc blade net was formed, which was intended to encircle Wade and shave him without leaving any residue.
Dwyane Wade was surrounded again. He was about to force a shot when Yang Mo suddenly cut into the restricted area from the side. Seeing this, Wade quickly passed the basketball from under Najera's crotch. Yang Mo took the basketball, took a start, and slammed it into the basket with both hands.
The brute force caused the basket to shake and creak.
"Great, Dwyane!" After Yang Mo landed, he immediately found Dwyane Wade and bumped chests with him.
Yang Mo is a person who likes to show off, but he also knows that when one is too successful, his boss will be in trouble. Maybe Dwyane Wade is not a stingy boss, but it is still good to give him some face.
Moreover, what black people love most is face.
So, when Yang Mo happily bumped his chest with him and patted his head: "Good job, man."
"The pass was better." Yang Mo took the opportunity to compliment Dwyane Wade.
Dwyane Wade was overjoyed after hearing this, and thought to himself: It seems that what Pat Riley said is right, this kid is really very suitable for my style of play, and he is good at running. It seems that I need to play more pick-and-roll with him.
Dwyane Wade thought so, and Pat Riley on the sidelines saw it and was happy in his heart: Yang is really smart. Now he must have gained Dwyane's trust. I hope they can play a wonderful chemistry, so that... in the next five years, we will at least be the top four in the East.
In the following game, the Nets successfully showed everyone what a loose team is. Vince Carter, Keyon Dooling and Simmons are all players who need the ball, and they play more by shooting than breaking through. In addition, they have no advantage against Yang Mo in the interior. Therefore, after Vince Carter scored a few goals against the sky with his personal ability, they were completely silenced.
The Heat team on this side blossomed inside and outside, and Dwyane Wade and Yang Mo's pick-and-roll cooperation became more and more tacit. At the beginning, when the two people were in the pick-and-roll, the Nets kept pinching Wade. When Wade was pinched, Yang Mo would run back or directly pull out the three-point line. Dwyane Wade decisively passed the ball, allowing Yang Mo to shoot a three-pointer and dunk twice.
Later, gradually, they became smarter and stopped double-teaming Wade, and instead focused on Yang Mo.
But who is Wade? He is a superstar. No one who can defend him one-on-one has been born yet, so he is gradually finding his form and can do whatever he wants.
By the end of the second quarter, the Heat led by 23 points and the game was basically over.
When returning to the locker room during the halftime break, Yang Mo was stopped by Jessica and asked quietly: "Oppa, I want to have dinner with you tonight, is that okay?"
Jessica made the invitation, and Yang Mo of course agreed: "Okay, no problem, I'll call you after the game."
"Yeah." Jessica nodded heavily, very happy. While Yang Mo was not paying attention, she quickly leaned over and kissed Yang Mo's sweaty face, then turned around and pretended nothing happened.
Seeing this, Yang Mo felt a little embarrassed, but also a little happy. She touched her face, pretended nothing had happened, and quickly ran to the locker room.
As soon as Yang Mo returned to the locker room, Beasley and Qian Moss were instigated by some veterans to perform . The atmosphere became very hot, and Yang Mo also laughed. The two funny guys posed in various S-shaped poses, which made people laugh.
After the performance, Yang Mo joked: "Michael, can you shave your legs next time? Be more professional, OK?"
"Don't you think leg hair makes me sexier?" Beasley made a disgusting S-shaped gesture while speaking, which was uglier than Sister Furong.
"I don't think so." Everyone shook their heads at the same time.
"You are jealous." Beasley said coquettishly, twisting his hips and walking to the seat, like a girl. If everyone hadn't seen him kissing a woman before, who would dare to pick up soap in front of him when taking a shower?
After playing around for a while, Spoelstra came over to explain the tactics. It was the same old story over and over again, and everyone was listening with drooping eyes and no attention at all. In fact, Spoelstra was not very interested either, because the game had lost its suspense.
After a while, the staff came over to urge the players to enter the court. The players walked out in twos and threes. Yang Mo subconsciously walked at the back. As he walked, he suddenly felt an arm on his shoulder. He turned his head and saw that it was Dwyane Wade.
"Yang, we will play the New York Knicks the day after tomorrow, but we will have a day off tomorrow. I have a party. Do you want to come?" Dwyane Wade smiled ambiguously at Yang Mo.
"Party?" Yang Mo frowned, having a bad thought. He had heard rumors that Dwyane Wade had a decadent private life.
"Go to JAY-Z's house, he is my friend. I will take you to see the world." Dwyane Wade patted Yang Mo on the shoulder, as if to support Yang Mo.
"JAY-Z?" Yang Mo was confused. This was a big shot in the American entertainment industry. He paused and said, "But, we just taught the Nets a lesson. Will he be unhappy if we go to his house? He is the small boss of the Nets."
"It's okay, he's just a small shareholder, the team's performance has nothing to do with him."
"Okay, I'll go out with you tomorrow to see the world." Yang Mo nodded and agreed. He thought it would be nice to go to JAY-Z's house to have some fun. JAY-Z's wife Beyonce is his favorite European and American actress, and it would be even better if he could get an autograph.
"That's settled." Dwyane Wade patted Yang Mo's shoulder and quickened his pace as he ran out.
