Chapter 72: Fighting Randolph
David Lee's mind froze for a moment, and he still had no confidence in his back-to-the-basket play, so he turned around and faced Yang Mo head-on.
In a post-up singles game, Yang Mo might be a little afraid of him. After all, David Lee's height and weight are there, and his strength is not bad, so he might be able to trick him into scoring. But turning around and playing head-on singles would undoubtedly weaken David Lee's advantages and expose his shortcomings, such as dribbling too high!
As soon as David Lee turned around, Yang Mo quickly pressed forward, leaving him no room to dribble. In addition, Yang Mo's strength was far superior to his, although David Lee looked bigger. Therefore, David Lee was forced to the point where he could hardly stand.
Yang Mo's defense was so tight that David Lee obviously couldn't dribble anymore, so he had to use his height to shoot directly. So he suddenly jumped back... trying to make a pull-up fadeaway shot.
But unfortunately, he is not Tracy McGrady in his peak period, and his explosiveness is far inferior to that of McGrady. The moment he jumped, Yang Mo captured his intention. In fact, Yang Mo also forced him to fade away and jump shot.
So, as soon as David Lee jumped, Yang Mo’s long arm slapped over with incredible speed... Snap!
David Lee's basketball was still in his hand against his chest when Yang Mo slapped it away. He felt his palm go numb and lost control of the basketball while his body was still jumping up.
Yang Mo took the ball, dribbled two steps, and felt his stomach growling even louder. He quickly threw the ball to Dwyane Wade, who rushed to the penalty area with the ball, broke through the basket and caused Chandler to foul, and he made two free throws.
Although this defensive counterattack did not directly result in a goal, the effect has already appeared. In fact, Wade and Yang Mo have now developed a very amazing tacit understanding. As long as Yang Mo faces an attacker or is blocking the basket, Dwyane Wade will desperately run to the front court, because he knows that Yang Mo will definitely find a way to snatch the ball back.
Now, he finally believed what Pat Riley said. Yang Mo is the best partner for his style of play. Yang Mo can grab rebounds, and he is good at defensive counterattacks. He is good at breaking through, and Yang Mo can pick and roll, shoot three-pointers, and run down the court. The advantages of the two complement each other completely. This is simply a partner tailor-made for him!
When Dwyane Wade was shooting free throws in the frontcourt, Yang Mo followed David Lee and walked slowly forward, talking trash as he walked: "David, come on! You almost made it."
David Li was extremely angry after hearing Yang Mo's insinuations. He thought to himself, do I deserve to be taught a lesson by a rookie like you? He stared at Yang Mo angrily, but he didn't know how to teach him a lesson. Should he do it? Obviously he didn't dare to do it. Not to mention the issue of being suspended, he couldn't afford to lose face. If the news got out, people would definitely say that David Li lost the game and lost face.
" The game isn't over yet, we're still ahead, don't be so arrogant." David Lee's anger could only be turned into this weak sentence, which was like a little girl saying, "No matter how much you fuck me, I won't get pregnant, and you're wearing a condom!" She didn't know that condoms can be easily pulled off once they are put on.
"Yes, the game is not over yet. Your lead only adds to the interest of the topic. After the game, everyone will say that Super Yang came on the court to reverse the situation, and David Lee was useless on the court. Look, how attractive this title is." Yang Mo was not angry at all, but laughed.
David Lee was even more angry. He had never seen such an arrogant rookie. Aren't Chinese people said to be humble? How come this guy is even more arrogant than an American?
The Chinese are indeed humble, but when they are acting arrogantly, the Americans are still eating raw meat and drinking blood.
Swish! Swish!
Dwyane Wade made two free throws, beep! The Knicks requested a substitution, Zach Randolph replaced Wilt Chandler.
Now, David Lee has proven that he can't defend Yang Mo, so he can only use Zach Randolph. Although Randolph 's appearance will slow down the team, his scoring methods, his strength, and his tonnage are not something David Lee can replace.
Looking at Randolph's meat-like body standing in front of him, Yang Mo felt even hungrier. This guy looked like a pig's trotter dipped in soy sauce, although a little ugly.
"Boy, your next opponent is me." Randolph laughed at Yang Mo, his words full of contempt. It was obvious that he did not take this little guy Yang Mo seriously.
"Okay, I understand." Yang Mo nodded, just like a chairman listening to the report of his subordinates, and invisibly suppressed Randolph.
Randolph suddenly felt as if he had eaten a fly and felt extremely uncomfortable.
I muttered to myself: Chinese people are so cunning!
At the same time, there was some bustle in the TNT studio, with two commentators and one host looking for a template for Yang Mo.
"Young's performance is like a miniature version of Amar'e Stoudemire. His cooperation with Dwyane is really great. It's like they have played together for decades. The two pick-and-rolls just now even gave me a feeling of Stockton and Karl Malone." Host Collins took the lead in bringing up this topic. While Wade was shooting free throws, they had to talk about some off-topic topics, otherwise the picture would appear very monotonous.
"No, no, no, Young is not Stoudemire. Young's defense is much stronger than Stoudemire. And they are not of the same style. Stoudemire's strength is not as strong as Young's. What he is strong in is explosiveness and jumping ability. So, I think Young's template should be Reggie Evans." Steve Kerr gave another explanation.
"Hey, guys, don't you think Young is more like Dennis Rodman? Same rebounding controller, same short stature, same constant gossip. But, Rodman can't shoot three-pointers." Barkley threw out a template that shut up both partners.
Obviously, Yang Mo is indeed very similar to Dennis Rodman in some aspects.
