Chapter 84: Bench?
Soon, Kevin Garnett's words reached Yang Mo's ears again. After hearing this, Yang Mo instantly ignited a spirit of fearlessness. Aren't you the No. 1 power forward? Then I will use you to get the top spot. Even if I can't beat you, I will make you feel uncomfortable all night.
Yang Mo was trying to be competitive, but he didn't continue to speak to the reporter. Lu Xueman called him to tell him this. Lu Xueman was a woman with a very high IQ. She originally wanted to make Yang Mo a super idol player, after all, Yang Mo was quite handsome. But... reality was seriously deviated from her plan. Yang Mo only spent two games to turn himself into a villain.
She had no choice but to change her strategy and portray Yang Mo as a cool and handsome man. This way, she could maximize her benefits. So, she called Yang Mo and told him to remain mysterious and indifferent from now on.
Yang Mo agreed with Lu Xueman's marketing plan because he was fed up with communicating with those stupid reporters who were always thinking about how to dig out negative news about him, which seemed to be their greatest pleasure.
The next afternoon, all the Heat players went to the North Shore Garden for training. Since three games had already passed and Shawn Marion would make his regular season debut tonight, Yang Mo was naturally assigned to the bench during the team's group competition, and Michael Beasley received the same treatment.
Shawn Marion took away the positions of two rookies right after he arrived. Yang Mo was fine, but Beasley cursed inwardly, "FUCK, little dick! You took my starting position right after you came in. Who do you think you are? Don't you think you're embarrassing enough? Fuck!"
Beasley cursed until he started to curse in Chinese. Yang Mo often yelled the word "fuck" during games and training, and gradually the Heat players also learned this word. Beasley used it the most frequently. Sometimes when the referee called a foul on him, he would also yell at the referee: "Fuck!"
Because when he asked Yang Mo what 'fuck' meant, Yang Mo certainly couldn't tell him that it was a swear word. You know, when he was defending Yang Mo, Yang Mo had 'fuck' him a lot, so he just made up a sentence and told him: "This is an unyielding cry, this is the strongest protest against social injustice."
So, he often uses this word to protest against the referee.
The referee was so annoyed by him that he wanted to give him a technical foul several times, but he had no idea what that meant and had to endure it.
Beasley was indignant, but Yang Mo had no opinion. In his opinion, it would be strange not to let Marion start. After all, he was the highest paid player in the team and the second most experienced player. Spoelstra, the Filipino guy, didn't have the guts to keep him on the bench. As long as he had the ability, why would he be afraid of not giving him a chance to play?
But then again, the Heat are a bit crowded at the power forward position (able to play both the three and four positions). Michael Beasley can play both the three and four, Haslem is also a power forward who tends to be a three, Shawn Marion can play both the three and four positions, and Yang Mo is also a player who has to play the three, four, and even five positions. Each of these players has his own strengths, and the difference in strength is actually not that big.
Compared with the bloated third and fourth positions, the fifth position is very stretched. Magloire is old, Joe Anthony is not useful, who is left? It is Yang Mo who is 1.94 meters tall!
It seems that after the trade door is opened, other teams will definitely trade with Miami for their extra centers. For example, the Bobcats led by Michael Jordan, after Yang Mo played two consecutive exciting games, Michael Jordan was almost crazy, and he didn't even have the heart to play his favorite golf. Now he is looking forward to the trade door opening, and then he will trade Yang Mo back at all costs. Even if he has to trade Okafor, even if he has to swallow Marion's big contract, he will not hesitate. Now he only wants Yang Mo.
This game was not originally broadcast live across the United States, but because of the pre-match war of words between Garnett and Yang Mo, the game suddenly became very popular. TNT decisively decided to cancel the live broadcast of the Thunder vs. Cavaliers game and instead broadcast this game live.
In recent days, Durant and James, two super small forwards with a combined sponsorship of more than 200 million US dollars and David Stern's godson, are not as bright as Yang Mo. After all, Yang Mo has off-court bonuses. Can they get the favor of Girls' Generation who sing "GEE/GEE/GEE"? Can they elope with Kristen? Obviously not, so it is not unfair for Yang Mo to steal the limelight.
As we all know, Kevin Garnett is probably the most unfriendly superstar to rookies in the history of the NBA. He can even knock out the teeth of his teammates in training. At the same time, he is also the player who talks trash the most among the active players in the league. His defensive viscosity is also the most annoying.
Then...will Yang Mo, who is very aggressive, be enraged? Will they fight?
As for the latter question, if it happens, Garnett will definitely be beaten without any chance to fight back, this is almost a consensus. No fans have confidence in Garnett's ability to fight, in the few conflicts on the court in his career, except for one time when he attacked Tim Duncan and made his head explode, he was defeated in all other battles, even against point guards.
Yang Mo could make Lopez's face bloody with just a dunk, and could give Randolph a concussion and almost make him mentally disabled with just a block. Her fighting ability must be not bad at all.
Everyone has no confidence in Garnett's fighting ability, and also has no hope for Yang Mo's performance on the court. The opponent is Kevin Garnett, the player with the highest 2K9 value. If Yang Mo can get 50 points in 2K9, it would be a blessing.
These are all speculations. Whether Garnett will be beaten to a bloody mess by Yang Mo's fists, and whether Yang Mo will be beaten to a state of humiliation by Garnett's basketball, still needs to be tested in the game.
And as everyone was looking forward to it, the competition finally arrived.
When the Heat appeared at the TD Garden, there was an immediate barrage of boos, even louder than when they came to the Nets.
This was definitely the worst of the three away games Yang Mo had experienced.
Soon, the game began.
The Heat sent out the starting lineup: Haslem, Shawn Marion, Dorell Wright, Dwyane Wade and Mario Chalmers. This lineup disappointed the audience and the audience in front of the TV.
Why is Yang sitting on the bench? He is the star of this game. Filipinos, do you have pig shit in your head?
