Chapter 78: End of the Game
Cooper, as a bystander , was so frightened, so one can imagine how scared the Knicks players who had to continue playing with Yang Mo on the court felt.
After the doctors put the obese Randolph on a stretcher and sent him to the hospital, several cleaning boys wiped the blood off the court carefully, suppressing their fear.
At this time, the referee blew the whistle to signal the start of the game.
After the game started, he immediately announced that Chalmers' previous layup was valid. This penalty did not attract too many boos, because many Knicks fans had already left the court because of the bloody scene, and most of the remaining fans were still immersed in the shadow of the death block just now, and they were too lazy to boo.
For many fans, the game was actually over. Although the Knicks were still leading by a few points,... from the fear in the eyes of the Knicks players, it could be seen that they were ready to give up the game.
Due to Randolph's departure, Anthony, who was stretched to the limit, had to replace him with Eddy Curry, and let him go up to block Yang Mo with a desperate attitude. In his opinion, only Eddy Curry's weight and strength could suppress Yang Mo.
As soon as Eddy Curry walked over, Yang Mo suddenly felt as if there was a mountain of meat next to him. This guy was called Little Shark when he debuted, but now he can be called Fat Shark. Judging from his dangling belly, he weighs at least 350 pounds. If Randolph's body shape is considered fat, then this guy is definitely super fat.
Yang Mo really didn't have much confidence facing such a fat and tall guy. This half ton of meat alone would be enough to crush him to death.
However, Eddy Curry had even less confidence to face Yang Mo. He didn't want to have any physical contact with Yang Mo. The image of Randolph lying in a pool of blood was still lingering in his mind. He was afraid that he would suffer the same fate. Since signing that big contract, he actually had no interest in basketball. The biggest amount of exercise he did every day was eating, commonly known as fattening up.
Wouldn't it be tantamount to disrupting the morale of the troops to replace such a fat guy who just eats and waits for death, is afraid of physical confrontation and has no desire to win?
Originally, the Knicks players might have had some fighting spirit, but when they saw Eddy Curry strolling up, they lost all interest in doing so.
After Chris Duhon brought the ball over, he immediately passed it to Eddy Curry. Eddy Curry took the ball and looked back at Yang Mo. Yang Mo smiled at him. He quickly threw the ball back to Chris Duhon as if it was a hot potato.
D'Antoni, who was standing on the sidelines, was so angry that he almost bled. He cursed in his heart, "FUCK, you are a 7-foot center, and you weigh more than 350 pounds, and you are afraid of that little guy who is less than 6 feet 5 inches? He is not even half your size!!"
D'Antoni was so angry, but he was powerless to change this fact. He looked back at Malik Rose and Jerome James on the bench. It was estimated that the two guys had enough physical strength to run two rounds on the court. Eddy Curry was his best choice.
If Eddy Curry doesn't participate in the offense, he is a waste. His defense is worse than Randolph's. Randolph just doesn't like to defend, but this guy simply can't defend. As a typical high school student participating in the draft, he doesn't even know the basic defensive tactics. The reason why he was able to play beautiful statistics in the Bulls was because there was a defensive center Tyson Chandler standing behind him who could clean up his mess.
Bang!
Crawford made a sudden attack from the outside, but he didn't find his hot form at all tonight, so as expected, the shot missed.
Yang Mo grabbed the rebound very easily. Eddy Curry didn't . He just watched Yang Mo grab the rebound. The only difference between him and the spectators on the sidelines was that he was closer to Yang Mo, and he didn't have to buy a ticket and he could get paid!
No wonder the American media commented that Eddy Curry's job is more cost-effective than Bill Gates. He can earn $200,000 before tax just by waving the towel a few times on the bench in every game.
After Yang Mo grabbed the rebound, he immediately passed the ball to Wade and then ran to the front court. Eddy Curry wanted to catch up at first, but he was out of breath after running two steps. When he reached the center circle, he simply stopped, supported his knees with his hands, and gasped for air.
"FUCK, is there any professional player more fucked up than this? What did they do during the offseason? Is their physical fitness so poor? Even the cleaning lady is competing with you for the job!" D'Antoni, who was on the sidelines, saw this scene and finally couldn't help but curse out all the anger in his heart.
At the same time, Yang Mo, who was unguarded, received the pass in a pick-and-roll with Dwyane Wade and made a shot from beyond the three-point line.
drop!
D'Antoni called a timeout without hesitation, and when Eddy Curry walked over with his head down, he threw a towel on his face: "From now on, you don't have to wear a jersey to the arena, wear a suit, and you will not appear on the activation list for even a minute!"
Eddy Curry was not angry or depressed about D'Antoni's anger, and he was even a little happy. Because it meant that he didn't even have to throw a towel in every game. He just had to wear a handsome suit and sit in the closest seat to the court to watch the game, and then collect $200,000. Is there any easier job than this? Obviously not!
After sending Eddy Curry to the bench, they immediately replaced him with Wilt Chandler and continued to play run-and-gun.
The Heat are even less afraid of running and gunning. Although they are not a team that focuses on running and gunning, their lineup is born for running and gunning.
So... the result is self-evident.
More than three minutes into the fourth quarter, the Heat reversed the game and won by seven points. At this time, the Knicks players had no courage to continue fighting. Seeing this, D'Antoni waved his hand, sent the players to the bench, and announced the defeat of the game!
In the end, the Heat won the game 109:98. Although Yang Mo only scored 7 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks, no one can deny his outstanding contribution to this victory. It can even be said that he is the MVP of this game, even though Dwyane Wade scored 35 points.
