Chapter 86: Finally on stage
Yang Mo walked into the player tunnel, which surprised the fans at the scene and those watching on TV: What happened? Wasn't he the protagonist of this game? Why did he leave the field without playing for a minute? Was he running away because he was afraid?
"Is it because Young is injured?" TNT host Collins said somewhat disappointedly. The reason why they canceled the live broadcast of the Thunder vs. Cavaliers and instead broadcast this game was because they had great hopes for the ratings of this game. The tension between the two teams before the game was really too intense.
But... since the beginning of the game, Yang Mo has not appeared on the court for even a second. The real-time ratings reported by the data department have been getting lower and lower. This is obviously not the game that everyone is looking forward to. Everyone is waiting for Yang Mo and Kevin Garnett to face off. It would be even better if they could fight.
"He doesn't look injured?" Steve Kerr said uncertainly, "He walks very normally!"
"Could it be that Young was suspended by the Heat?" Charles Barkley speculated: "In the last game, Young was unable to catch up with the game. Although he led the entire team to victory in the end, he violated the rules after all. Pat Riley has always been very strict."
After hearing what Barkley said, Collins and Steve Kerr thought it made sense .
"That should be the case. No wonder Marion was not replaced even though he was beaten so badly by KG." Collins said with great disappointment, because if this guess is true, then the ratings of this game will not be good. Everyone turned on the TV for the showdown between Yang Mo and Kevin Garnett.
At this moment, Yang Mo came back from the player tunnel, whistling and looking relaxed. The TNT director immediately switched the camera to Yang Mo. As for the game scene, it was obviously not that important anymore.
Yang Mo returned to the bench and sat next to Beasley, who was full of indignation. Beasley was still mumbling and occasionally yelling "Fuck!" Seeing him like this, Yang Mo was too lazy to comfort him. He just let him be. The more he struggled, the better it would be for him.
Yang Mo sat quietly on the sidelines, watching his team's defeat on the court. Ever since the Celtics coach replaced Ray Allen with defensive stalwart Tony Allen, Wade's breakthroughs have not been so easy. Wade failed to open up the situation, and the Celtics immediately beat him up on defense, leaving him in disarray. In less than three minutes, the Heat lost another ten points.
drop!
Wade couldn't stand it anymore, so he took advantage of the ball stoppage and called a timeout. He rushed to the bench with a look of anger, and when the staff handed him a towel, he threw it to the ground, then yelled, "Are you taking a walk or playing basketball? Your defense is worse than the lady sweeping the floor in the park."
Yang Mo had never seen Wade so angry, but when he thought about it, this group of teammates played like shit on the court. The defense was basically a decoration, and was messed up by Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce. The restricted area was like someone else's back garden, and they could do whatever they wanted in there.
Seeing Wade lose his temper, Spoelstra didn't dare to say anything. He waited until Wade stopped losing his temper before walking over with the tactical board.
As soon as he walked over, Wade said very dissatisfiedly: "I don't care what tactics you want to try, Yang must play next. Our restricted area has no blood at all, we need players who can grab rebounds."
Upon hearing this, Spoelstra nodded quickly, then turned around and waved to Yang Mo, saying, "Yang, wait a minute, you move to the center position, your opponent is Glen Davis. Joel, you go off the court and rest first... We will use our speed to wear them down..."
drop!
Soon, the pause ended.
When Yang Mo took off his coat and walked onto the court, the fans immediately booed wildly. They would not give Yang Mo face. While booing, they also reminded Kevin Garnett: "KG, teach him a lesson!" "KG, teach the Chinese kid a lesson!" "Kevin, beat him up!" "..."... Such reminders were heard everywhere. It was obvious that Celtics fans really wanted to see Garnett beat Yang Mo up.
While the fans were booing, Christine, who was sitting in the VIP seat on the sidelines, stood up excitedly, waved vigorously at Yang Mo and shouted: Come on!
When the image of Christine cheering for Yang Mo was captured on the big screen at the top, the fans at the scene immediately erupted into a second large-scale booing, mixed with a lot of insults, most of which were impolite greetings.
Although Kristen felt uncomfortable hearing these insults, it did not stop her from cheering for Yang Mo. She carefully checked the news about Yang Mo in the past two days and found that when she was in New Jersey last time, a beautiful girl from a Korean group, Yang Mo’s girlfriend, showed her love to Yang Mo despite the boos from the audience. This gave her a strong sense of crisis, and she immediately identified Jessica as her rival in love. She thought to herself that she must do better than the Korean female star. She also wanted to cheer for Yang Mo amid the boos from the audience, to let Yang Mo know that what that Korean girl can do, I can do too, and I can be braver than her.
Yang Mo just smiled at Christine's encouragement, and then quickly ran to Glen Davis. Next, Yang Mo's opponent was this not-so-clumsy little fat guy.
"Do you want to be taught a lesson by me before being taught a lesson by KG, little guy?" Glen Davis saw Yang Mo catching up with him and did not forget to mock him contemptuously.
"If you don't want to be beaten up by me and covered in blood, shut your stinky mouth." Yang Mo glared at him and said viciously.
Yang Mo's vicious side was revealed, and Glen Davis subconsciously recalled the scene of Randolph lying in a pool of blood. He couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He didn't want to become the second Glen Davis.
Seeing that Davis was so scared that he dared not say anything, he roughly understood his character and decided that this guy was not a concern.
At this moment, Kevin Garnett came over and challenged him: "Rookie, why don't you dare to defend me? Are you scared?"
"It has nothing to do with fear. I just want to use this fat man as an appetizer, and then compete with you." Yang Mo said with a smile. His words were neither salty nor bland, but his tone was indifferent to everything, and he completely treated Glen Davis as a snack.
Kevin Garnett saw that Yang Mo was even more arrogant than himself, and he admired him a little. He laughed and said, "I hope you don't get beaten down by my little brother. That would be too boring. I'm still waiting to teach you what NBA-level defense is!"
After KG said this, Yang Mo did not answer, but quickly ran to the three-point line because Qian Mos had already dribbled the ball over.
Yang Mo ran to the three-point line, but Glen Davis obviously didn't react. He had been listening to Yang Mo and KG chatting. He was so engrossed in listening that... he forgot to watch the game.
By the time he reacted, Qian Moss had already passed the ball to Yang Mo.
Yang Mo received the ball and shot it directly...swish!
The basketball went into the net.
This kind of unguarded three-pointer was too easy for Yang Mo.
After Yang Mo scored the goal, he did not celebrate, but pointed at Kevin Garnett and asked loudly: "Hey, KG, how about this three-pointer?"
"Very good!" Kevin Garnett gave a thumbs up and praised, but as soon as he finished speaking, his thumb immediately fell down, and then he said coldly: "Boy, congratulations, you succeeded in irritating me!"
"You're welcome!" Yang Mo shrugged, not taking it seriously at all.
