This guy was scolded by Old Brown because he was too greedy for glory and was even a little drunk. But, what young man doesn't love vanity?
The method adopted by Old Brown was to directly block him. This would only create a rebellious mentality in him who was still only 18 or 19 years old, and he would hate basketball. When he faced off like this, naturally, he was completely reduced from a talented new star to a
The guardian of the water cooler, gradually sinking, constantly wandering around various NBA teams. If he were not a scarce inside player, and if there were not teams that had illusions about his potential, he would have stayed away from the NBA long ago.
Now, Yang Mo decided to use dredging methods to stimulate this guy to regain his love for basketball and find all his lost talent and aura. Although it is very likely that he will still not be able to become an All-Star level center, at least he can
It can support the Knicks' weak inside line.
"Okay, man, from today on, our inside information will be handed over to you." Yang Mo patted the excited Milicic and said with a smile: "You should make those who used to laugh at you become a joke, just like me
Same. Those who said bad things about me and thought I was not good were all slapped hard by me and their faces were swollen. Come on, let us fight this crappy world together. Then, I will take you to enjoy it.
Drink and enjoy the cheers of women.”
Yang Mo's words seemed to have magic power. He had given Milicic enough attraction in the first place, but now that he had spoken these words that pierced his heart, he couldn't help but feel like a confidant towards Yang Mo.
In the first few years of his career, he suffered cruel sarcasm from Brown. As the second overall pick, he was kept on the bench cleaning up garbage time. He never gained any trust. Even if he was transferred
When he went to other teams, all the general managers had a try attitude and never gave him real trust. But now, Yang Mo has handed over the entire inside line to him. And what Yang Mo said caused a stir
His strong resonance caused him to hold back too many grievances. Yang Mo had also been questioned in this way before, but Yang Mo just relied on his own courage to break through. Now he is willing to lead him to crush it as a person who has been through it.
Questioning, of course he wanted it. What's more, Yang Mo also promised him a bright future. This result was what he dreamed of. He immediately made up his mind to follow Yang Mo's footsteps and fight fiercely.
Milicic is finally on the right track.
This is something Yang Mo didn't expect before coming to New York. In fact, he didn't expect Jeffries to be inspired by him to succeed. Now Jeffries is definitely one of the two players with the best professional attitude in the Knicks.
.
The two returned to the half court, and Kobe Bryant also ran over with the ball. As soon as he came over, Yang Mo followed him. But Kobe Bryant's offensive awareness was not strong at all today, and he played with his crotch a little.
After that, he quickly handed the ball over to Fisher who was ambushing in the bottom corner. Fisher caught the ball and shot... Wow!
Three points into the net, very clean.
Yang Mo looked back and saw that Chris Duhon was three meters away from Fisher who was shooting. In other words, he did not keep up with Fisher.
This is definitely not a physical reason, it can only be said that the defensive attitude is too bad. Even the aging Fisher can't catch up, what kind of defense is this?
Therefore, Yang Mo said to him very rudely: "I will give you another chance. If you miss someone like this again, you will sit on the bench for the whole game."
Chris Duhon played the best season of his career last season. He was even a little arrogant, thinking that he was already the number one star of the Knicks. In fact, Al Harrington and David Lee also had this idea.
This can only be described as the temple is small and the wind is strong, and the pool is shallow and there are many bastards.
Moreover, this time Yang Mo took charge of the team, he still let him serve as the starting point guard. This made him feel that he was very important and could handle the two systems with ease. Therefore, he thought that he was very important and punished Yang Mo for his behavior in public.
Feeling very dissatisfied, although he did not show it in words, when he returned to halftime in the next round, he still chose to go it alone. He directly dribbled the ball past the aging Fisher and rushed into the penalty area. Then... he was ruthlessly beaten by Pau Gasol
Fortunately, Yang Mo grabbed the basketball in time and threw the basketball into the basket with a throw.
After Yang Mo scored, he asked him with great confusion: "Why didn't you pass the ball to Wilt just now? His shooting position is the best."
When Yang Mo questioned him again, Chris Duhong didn't even look at Yang Mo, turned around and ran back to the half court.
Yang Mo was furious when he saw this. He thought to himself, do you really think your tail can fly up to the sky? If I didn't want to reassure other players, I wouldn't put you in the starting lineup. Do you think
Are you so awesome that you can influence the fate of the team?
Immediately, he greeted Larry Hughes on the bench and asked him to prepare to warm up.
In this lineup, Larry Hughes's role is no less than that of Chris Duhon. Although he is slightly lacking in organizational skills, he has won at least eight streets defensively. Moreover, as long as everyone plays according to the rules and distributes selflessly
Without the ball, Chris Duhon's poor organizational skills are really useless.
Returning to the Lakers half, Chris Duhon once again missed a man, but Fisher used a simple reverse run to throw him away without even seeing the taillights of the car. Fisher directly hit a two-pointer that stepped off the line.
beep!
Yang Mo decisively signaled to the referee and replaced him with Larry Hughes. Before Chris Duhon left the field, Yang Mo said directly to him: "You can go home now. You will not get any playing time tonight."
,Goodbye, good night!”
After Yang Mo said this, he turned around and said to the new player Larry Hughes: "You try to break through the inside as much as possible, and I will set up pick-and-roll screens for you. You are always ready to distribute the ball to Jeff on both sides."
Reese, Wilt Chandler. The most important thing is to pass it directly to Milicic in the penalty area. Darko will be the one to decide the outcome tonight, understand?"
"Understood." Larry Hughes nodded.
Although Yang Mo defeated him, he didn't have any extra thoughts towards Yang Mo. He was a person who was willing to admit defeat. Since he lost that time, he would abide by the rules and listen to Yang Mo's orders.
In comparison, those who did not openly provoke Yang Mo were more hateful and sinister.
But it doesn't matter. Yang Mo now has at least two teammates who can stand firmly by his side, Jeffries and Milicic. And Chandler, Larry Hughes, Nate Robinson, and Al Harrington will not
They can't get along with the data. As long as Yang Mo can give them playing time and let them get better data, they will definitely not have any objections. It is equivalent to saying that they are useless and fall on both sides.
Arriving at the Knicks half, Yang Mo immediately set up a pick-and-roll for Larry Hughes, allowing him to get rid of the defense very easily. Kobe Bryant just wanted to chase, but found that if he caught up, Larry Hughes
Passing the ball to Yang Mo, with his three-point shooting rate, it was definitely another three-pointer. So, he quickly stepped back.
He didn't pursue. Larry Hughes was in an uncharted area and broke into the penalty area. After attracting Bynum's defense, he quickly handed the ball to Milicic. After receiving the ball, Milicic slightly
He reached up and passed Andrew Bynum with a flick of his body, and put the ball in easily.
Bynum is far superior to Milicic in terms of physical talent, but when it comes to attacking in the penalty area, none of his ten brains can match Milicic's speed.
Seeing Milicic's inexplicable outburst, Phil Jackson finally couldn't sit still, and quickly made a gesture, asking Pau Gasol to pay attention to double-teaming at any time.
Phil Jackson made a gesture to ask Pau Gasol to double-team, which means that Yang Mo once again asked him to adjust his tactics, or that Yang Mo has forced him to keep changing his tactics. You must know that Phil Jackson is a guy with
Known for staying the same despite all changes.
Phil Jackson was preparing to change his tactics on the defensive end, but what he didn't expect was that he would encounter a greater challenge on the offensive end.
As soon as Yang Mo returned to the penalty area, he took the initiative to defend Pau Gasol, while Jeffries held back Lamar Odom. Bynum was not having a hard time under the care of Milicic. As for Kobe
Bryant was handed over to Larry Hughes, with Wilt Chandler taking care of him. The remaining Fisher was not something to be afraid of, as long as he was not given an opportunity to find an open shot.
These five people were like tightly locked chains. The Lakers had no way to find the key to offense without Kobe Bryant actively attacking. In the end, the basketball was thrown out of Lamar Odom's hands with difficulty...
Bang!
In the basketball game, Yang Mo easily squeezed past Pau Gasol to grab the rebound, and immediately launched a fast break and passed the ball to Larry Hughes who was about to go down. At the same time, he also ran over. Jeffries and Chandler
Le also followed closely behind him. Although Milicic's speed was slightly slower, he was still a lot more flexible than Bynum.
The Knicks immediately launched an umbrella defensive counterattack. Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom, who were chasing after the past, could not find the focus of defense. In the end, they focused on Yang Mo, but Larry was dismissed.
Si used an alley-oop to assist Chandler for a dunk.
drop!
Phil Jackson asked for a timeout again. In less than five minutes, Phil Jackson, who is known for not calling timeouts, actually called two timeouts.
Judging from the scene, the Knicks looked more like the defending champions. This was beyond everyone's expectations. Before the game, the question everyone discussed was more about how many points the Lakers could defeat the Knicks. But now, the real question is
The question becomes, can the Lakers still beat the Knicks?
Leading a well-known bad team to push the defending champion to this point, regardless of the final outcome, Yang Mo has already won.
