Chapter 89: Final Showdown
Yang Mo's provocation made Kevin Garnett furious. Since the day before the game, this rookie had been constantly challenging his temper, and now it was even more aggressive. At that moment, Garnett stepped forward and shouted, "If you have the guts, why don't you face me head-on?"
Garnett was so angry at Yang Mo that he lost his composure and actually started yelling at her publicly.
Yang Mo kept smiling and said softly, "I'm not the best power forward in the league. I'm not qualified to let the coach change my position at will."
Yang Mo's words were neither salty nor bland, and she insulted Garnett again.
In terms of trash talk, Garnett is undoubtedly inferior.
Garnett wanted to yell a few more times to vent his anger, but his teammates quickly pulled him away. If a fight really came to a head, they didn't have much confidence in Garnett, and it wouldn't be worth it. Would a famous superstar really want to fight a rookie?
"Easy! Easy!"
Pierce held Garnett and kept persuading him. Seeing this, Yang Mo stopped talking to him . If they really fought, it would have a bad impact. Lu Xueman would scold him to death. He walked aside and started chatting with Wade.
A dispute that had not yet reached its climax came to an end.
"It seems like Yang has been trying to provoke Kevin. Kevin almost wanted to fight just now. This rookie is really not simple!" Seeing that the game was suspended, the TNT host immediately began to summarize.
"I have to say, Young's blocking is very dangerous. No wonder KG yelled at him so excitedly . In three games, he injured four players. Poor Myers, this was his first appearance of the season, and he actually withdrew from the game with injuries that may be a severe concussion. Perhaps, the next time we hear about him, it will be news of his retirement." Kerr said with some condemnation and regret.
"Come on, stop pretending to be a Virgin Mary. The reason Miles is what he is today is all because of himself. If he hadn't wasted his talent, he would have used his excellent explosive power to get past Young from the very beginning of the ball, and why would he be blocked by Young? This is the result of wasting his talent." Barkley has been targeting Kerr ever since he had a conflict with him.
"Don't brag about the death block. KG also blocked the shot just now, so why didn't he hurt Yang?" Kerr seized on Barkley's words and attacked again: "Basketball should not be a bloody sport!"
"Basketball really shouldn't be bloody, but we must never lose the spirit of competition. Fighting for every ball is the spirit of competition, going all out is the spirit of competition, and of course, blocking shots is also the spirit of competition." Barkley slammed the table hard again and argued excitedly: "As for why you said KG didn't hurt Yang, it's because he doesn't have the strength. His talent lies in his jumping ability, his height, and his wingspan, not his strength. And, I must remind you that KG's shot was interference, not a block."
"Only you can appreciate a player like Young!" Kerr sneered, turning his face away.
"Hmph, then you have to go ask why the ratings are constantly rising now?" Barkley also snorted coldly and turned his head away. The two of them had completely broken up. Don't expect these two to appear on the commentary desk of the same game in the future.
Collins saw the situation was so tense that he had to step out to save the situation: "Okay, now Myers is being helped down by the medical staff, and the game continues. The Celtics replaced him with Leon Powe, who is also a short inside player, but his style of play is very tough. Rivers probably wants to use him to suppress Young."
With Collins' commentary, the game started again.
Before the game resumed, the referee called Yang Mo aside and reminded him, "Hey, man, you have to control your strength a little bit. If you keep going like this, I will be under a lot of pressure. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Yang Mo smiled slightly and quickly ran back to the frontcourt.
In fact, he knows nothing, and he said that just to give the referee face. Next time we meet, I will still give my all , and take risks when necessary, no matter if you get a concussion or blood on your face, this is my style of play!
When he returned to the half court, he saw Leon Powe approaching him and immediately laughed and joked with him: "Are you coach going to bring all the Celtics' inside players here for me to level up? You opened so many dungeons for me to gain experience. I am really honored and ashamed of this assist!"
Yang Mo talked a lot, but Leon Bowie didn't react at all. He still had that serious poker face, making him seem very mature and steady.
Seeing that he was so bored, Yang Mo suddenly sprinted forward. He quickly started to catch up, but Yang Mo quickly changed direction and ran back into the penalty area, catching him off guard.
When Yang Mo rushed into the penalty area, Dwyane Wade quickly passed the ball in. Yang Mo received the ball and rushed directly to the basket. Kevin Garnett immediately followed up and tried to give Yang Mo a brutal block to let him know the consequences of angering him.
However, after Yang Mo led him to the basket, he directly passed the basketball to the back with a backward kick. Before Kevin Garnett could figure out what was going on, he felt a gust of wind behind him. He looked back and saw a black shadow rising into the sky. He quickly dodged to the side... Boom!
Dwyane Wade hung arrogantly on the basket.
From the moment Yang Mo and Leon Powell started talking nonsense, the two had already formed a partnership. Yang Mo deliberately used trash talk to distract Leon Powell's attention. Although Leon Powell was unmoved on the surface, he still listened to it in his heart. Taking advantage of his inattention, Yang Mo first made a fake move forward to trick his center of gravity, and then ran back, catching him off guard.
Seeing Yang Mo running back into the penalty area, Wade immediately passed the ball to him. After Yang Mo attracted Garnett, the only defender in the interior, he quickly got rid of Tony Allen's defense, rushed into the penalty area, received Yang Mo's perfect pass, and then dunked.
The whole coordination is complex but very smooth and fluid.
This reflects the high level of tacit understanding between the two.
It really proves what Pat Riley said: these two are a perfect pair with complementary strengths.
"Kevin, besides you, is there no one in your team who can suppress me?" After Wade scored, Yang Mo did not forget to brag to Garnett.
After hearing this, Garnett was furious. He pointed at Leon and shouted angrily: "Leon, let's switch defense. This kid is in my hands from now on!"
