It is a bad thing for the Knicks to fall into the quagmire again, and it is a good thing for oo7 to be a hit at the box office. However, when these two things are folded into the same person, they immediately cause a lot of inexplicable confusion for Yang Mo.
criticism.
The film industry is fine. After all, the box office is there. Yang Mo is a superstar with unparalleled box office appeal and no one can say anything. But the basketball circle is different, because Yang Mo’s dominance in the basketball world is not as dominant as in the film industry.
So strong, basically Yang Mo's box office appeal in the film industry is now the first among actors. Although his qualifications are still relatively young, the film industry is such an area where heroes are judged only by box office. In addition, there are Baofeng Management Company like
The entertainment oligarchs are working behind the scenes, who dares to go against Yang Mo?
However, the basketball circle is different. Although Yang Mo is good enough, he is not good enough to shut up everyone. It is true that he has been getting stronger, but... there are still many players ahead of him, but he
The money, fame and fortune he has gained now has exceeded the sum of all the top 10 players. If anything is as good as Lin Feng, it will be destroyed. Yang Mo has gained too much. Of course, some people are envious and jealous.
"That guy obviously deserves to be in a movie, isn't he?" Raptors power forward Chris Bosh said sarcastically in front of the camera: "He is more suitable for the movie industry, not n**a. In the movie, he
He can play the role of an omnipotent hero, but in NBA, he can't. He is still a weakling. There is no way he can lead the Knicks to glory!"
The meaning behind Chris Bosh's words is not only envy and jealousy, but also more subtle self-promotion. Everyone knows that next year is the contract year of the 2003 class, and everyone knows better that New York has money. His
The implication is that Yang Mo can't save New York, but I can, and Chris Bosh can. Knicks front office staff, come talk to my agent!
Chris Bosh was really one of Isaiah Thomas's key signing targets. Chris Bosh is one of the best big men in the league with mid-range shooting. He can make up for Yang Mo's shortcomings, and he won't
There was a battle for the ball. However, as soon as he said this, it meant that he was out. Because the Knicks are a super-yang team, no objections are allowed in this team.
Chris Bosh's sarcasm basically represents the attitude of most first-tier superstars. Very few NBA players would feel a little bit happy about 007's big sales, let alone any pride. The so-called peers are enemies, but they can't see each other.
This is probably what it means to be nice to others.
Yang Mo directly ignored these criticisms from the basketball circle. If these guys are jealous, just let them be jealous. Anyway, the box office dividends will not go into their pockets, they will only continue to increase the numbers in Yang Mo's own account. Benefits are the most beneficial
What's important is that it doesn't matter whether they are convinced or not, anyway, in the end they will kneel at his feet and sing "conquer". Yang Mo is very confident in this and has never wavered.
Yang Mo has strong confidence in the future, but now it gives him a big problem.
In the away game against the Philadelphia 76ers, he was very uncomfortable. Iguodala and Thaddeus Young double-teamed him throughout the game. This was the first time he truly encountered a superstar-level super team.
Clip. In this case, all his first five shots missed. Although he still found his touch in the sixth shot, the hole he dug before was too big.
Therefore, the game was seriously out of Yang Mo's control in the fourth quarter. Although he was still able to grit his teeth and put the ball into the basket, his teammates were unable to provide him with any help, including Milicic. Although Milicic was better than
He worked a lot harder in the past and his attitude has been corrected a lot. However, his hands and feet, which have been idle for too long, cannot give him long-term efficient performance. Under the 76ers' targeted defense, although he has not completely disappeared, it is not far behind.
As for other players, although they want to play well, they are always out of touch and unable to find the correct winning rhythm.
With five minutes left in the game, Stein replaced Yang Mo. Although he still scored 32 points, his shooting percentage was a bit dismal and he lost the game, which made him unhappy.
After the game, various criticisms came pouring in, mostly criticizing Yang Mo's selfish playing style.
Yang Mo had no response to this. He believed that these criticisms were correct. Although he was not selfish, he was indeed selfish in his performance. He could not create a chemical reaction with other attackers on the team. Either leave basketball to him.
, or leave it to Larry Hughes and others to finish, and there is rarely a combination chain attack. Because the Knicks really don’t even have anyone who can pass the ball.
The team is fighting on its own, and everyone's first thought when holding the ball is to attack the basket.
It's that simple and straightforward.
If it is a run-and-gun game, this is called offensive decisiveness. But switching to a half-court offensive system is called selfish and without chemical reaction.
Yang Mo knew where the team's crux was, but he couldn't correct it. He was really helpless. Because he didn't know how to pass the ball at all, and his passing ability was almost zero.
So on the night of the loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Yang Mo immediately called Isaiah Thomas and told him to find Stockton within a week and let him coach him at all costs.
Pass the ball yourself.
Isaiah Thomas' heart skipped a beat when he heard "At All Costs", and then he asked in a low voice, "What if he offers $10 million?"
"It's true." Yang Mo gave him a very decisive reply: "Remember, it's at all costs!"
For Yang Mo, ten million US dollars is nothing. His only pursuit now is to become the king of basketball, or the god of basketball. In the past, he did not dare to think about surpassing Michael Jordan, but now he has brought this matter up
On the journey.
When a woman with fame and wealth lacks nothing, becoming the best in a certain industry is undoubtedly the best way to discharge her ambition. Otherwise, life would be so miserable!
After Yang Mo called Isaiah Thomas, he specifically found Stein on the plane flying to Chicago.
Stein didn't look as nervous as Yang Mo. After all, he had been a basketball coach for more than half his life, and failure was not unacceptable to him.
"Man, we have to make changes." Yang Mo's first words after sitting down were: "If we continue like this, failure will still pursue us."
"I know." Stan nodded, not too surprised.
This made Yang Mo even more surprised. He widened his eyes and looked like you're kidding me: "You know?"
"Of course." Stein said with a smile: "Our team has no passers at all. If this continues, failure will definitely follow us."
"Then let's switch back to the run-and-gun style. This way we will be closer to victory." Yang Mo said impatiently. He really couldn't stand endless defeats. He was used to the fireworks of victory!
"This is indeed closer to victory, but it will be further and further away from success!" Stein shook his head and said slowly: "My goal is not just to bring this team to the playoffs every year, I
I hope this will be a dynasty team. So, I don’t care about temporary victory or defeat at all, I care more about you.”
"Is it me you care about?" Yang Mo frowned. He felt that Stan in front of him was a little funny. What kind of joke was he making? Is he discussing some kind of Zen technique?
"Yes. Don't you think you can learn more from adversity?" Stein still maintained a smile and said lightly: "Your journey has been too smooth. You need some setbacks. I hope that in the next
When I see your comprehensive offensive skills in the game, don't worry about selfishness or not. Take out all the weapons in your arsenal and hone their skill points to the top. In this way...our failure will have greater meaning than victory.
"
"So, you mean to sacrifice my performance to promote my growth?"
"Of course. You are the most important cornerstone of the dynasty." Stein said with a smile: "Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant have both gone through a long journey of selfishness. This is the reason why they were able to dominate in the end.
"
When Yang Mo heard this, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "I probably understand what you mean."
"As long as you understand." Stan chuckled and narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, Yang Mo suddenly felt that the image of the guy in front of him overlapped with Phil Jackson. (To be continued.)
