Chapter 85: Conflict within the team
Yang Mo didn't know whether the Filipinos had pig shit in their heads, he only knew that the Filipinos seemed to be quite satisfied with his tactical arrangement. He felt that with the mobility of the current lineup, they would definitely be able to play more exciting offensive basketball.
Moreover, he had never thought about beating the Celtics from the beginning, after all, the Celtics were the championship team. He just wanted to use this game to test the new lineup. His idea was understandable, after all, there were 81 games in the regular season, and giving up a strategic break was not a big deal. But... he ignored Yang Mo 's feelings. Yang Mo came to fight, but when he arrived at the battlefield, he was thrown into the kitchen and asked to cook and wave towels to cheer.
But at the beginning, Yang Mo didn't think about anything, but sat on the sidelines waiting for the Filipinos to call his name.
But... after the first quarter, Yang Mo still didn't get a chance to play. In fact, Spoelstra didn't make any personnel adjustments. He was always experimenting with the tactics on the court. Even though the five players on the court were beaten like shit, especially Shawn Marion, who was beaten to pieces by Garnett.
Marion can run, and so can Garnett. Marion can shoot from the outside, and Garnett's defense covers the entire court. Marion is not good at rebounding, but Garnett is a rebounding monster. Marion's post-up singles are almost zero, but Kevin Garnett can get whatever he wants.
Undoubtedly, the first quarter belonged to Kevin Garnett, who played a huge role on both the defensive and offensive ends. He scored 11 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. The Celtics also led 29:21. In fact, if it weren't for Dwyane Wade's continuous breakthroughs in the restricted area, the score would be even worse. From the scene, it looked like Dwyane Wade and a group of NBDL players were fighting against the NBA champions.
At the end of the first quarter, he showed off his biceps muscles to Yang Mo as he passed by the bench, and said arrogantly, "Boy! Do you know who is the No. 1 power forward now?"
"I know." Yang Mo smiled and nodded at him, saying, "Tim Duncan, he and Shaquille O'Neal dominated the league for ten years. You only won your first championship last year, but Tim won it in his first year of his career."
"You..." At that moment, Kevin Garnett was choked by Yang Mo and was filled with anger, but he couldn't vent it. He could only say viciously: "Boy, I will let you taste the price of angering me."
Tim Duncan is known as Garnett's lifelong rival, but... in fact, he has never been able to surpass Tim Duncan's peak in his life, except for winning a championship last year by working together.
Garnett returned to the bench after making his threats, while Yang Mo shrugged and smiled. It's just trash talk, who's afraid of who? I don't care if you're a superstar, when we're on the court, we're our own opponents.
At the same time, Spoelstra immediately called the players to make tactical arrangements: "Sean, you must pull Kevin out of the penalty area in the second quarter. Joel, you go up and Glen Davis will be handed over to you. And... Dorell, three-pointers, three-pointers are your mission. Dwyane... Dwyane, I hope you can control the team's rhythm. Chalmers is still a little immature." Yang Mo was still not on Spoelstra's starting list, even though he had just seen Garnett provoking Yang Mo with his own eyes.
"Coach, I want to play." Yang Mo was able to keep his composure, but Beasley couldn't. He walked over and said bluntly, "Marion played so badly."
Beasley's words were very direct. Since Marion was embarrassed by Yang Mo twice in a row, Beasley gradually stopped taking him seriously. Isn't he just a little dick? Why is he so arrogant? !
Beasley's words were equivalent to directly challenging Marion's status and questioning Spoelstra's authority as the head coach. Both of them were very unhappy. Marion turned around and glared at him, and Beasley glared back without any concealment. He was no longer afraid of this former NBA All-Star player.
The two glared at each other, and the tension suddenly broke out. Seeing this, Dwyane Wade quickly pulled Beasley aside, fearing that the two teammates would fight on the court.
At this time, Spoelstra also gave an order with a grim face: "Our main purpose tonight is to test this lineup. You sit down first. If I need you, I will let you play immediately."
"Fuck!" Beasley roared, expressing all the grievances in his heart, then turned around and sat at the end of the bench angrily.
Yang Mo couldn't help laughing when she heard him fucking so hard. This boy is really a fool. He didn't even know why he was beaten to death. Doesn't he know the principle that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot?
However, because of his questioning, other players on the bench also had some opinions and felt that Spoelstra was not doing the right thing.
Seeing that the atmosphere on the bench was rather heavy, Yang Mo simply stood up and walked towards the player tunnel.
Yang Mo stood up and left. Spoelstra quickly pulled him aside and asked, " What are you going to do?"
"Just peeing, sir. Anyway, it's not my turn to play yet, so there's no rush." Yang Mo shrugged his shoulders, without even shaking off the Filipino, and turned to walk towards the player tunnel.
Although Yang Mo did not directly protest like Beasley, everyone knows his attitude. In two words: unhappy!
Seeing that Yang Mo was also upset, Wade called the head coach aside and said, "Sean did play a bit badly. Yang played very well in the first two games, and I was very comfortable with him. I think it's time for him to play."
Spoelstra was originally very unhappy with Yang Mo's attitude of ignoring him, but after hearing what the team leader Wade said, he had to nod and said, "Okay, I'll let him play depending on the situation."
"Yeah." Wade patted his shoulder and sat aside.
Spoelstra was in a state of confusion. He felt that Yang Mo took himself too seriously. Not only did he mess around with women in the entertainment industry, but he was also late for the game. Do you think it's great that the general manager likes you? This is my team! I am the head coach. Don't even think about shitting or pissing on my head. We Filipinos are not easy to bully. Give me back Huangyan Island! Give me back the South China Sea island chain.
Filipinos have a natural hatred for the Chinese, but think about it, the islands right next to their homeland have been covered with concrete by the People's Liberation Army with words inscribed on them: The territory of the People's Republic of China is sacred and inviolable. Who can stand this?
But then again, you used to be a vassal state of the Celestial Empire, so it would be considered a great favor if you didn't put up a sign on your Philippine territory saying: The Philippines has been the sacred and inviolable territory of the Chinese nation since ancient times.
Just be a good Filipino maid and stop making trouble!
