On the morning of the game day, Yang Mo finally met Stockton at Madison Garden. At that time, Yang Mo was adapting to the court and conducting mid-range shooting training. Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
The feel is very good, and there is a faint feeling of being outside the three-point line.
This is a very good thing for Yang Mo. If the mid-range can shine in the game, the chance of winning will undoubtedly increase by 10%.
At this moment, Stockton came to the court accompanied by Isiah Thomas. He sat on the sidelines and watched Yang Mo shoot more than a dozen baskets. He turned to Thomas and laughed, saying: "This guy is crazy."
The force rhythm is really similar to mine, no wonder you said he can't pass the ball at all. It seems that you found me in the right place!"
"His current defense is very complete. Although his offense is not comprehensive, it has several strong points. The only flaw is passing. If you can improve his passing skills in less than three years, I think
He can crush LeBron James under his feet." Isiah Thomas said confidently.
"Although it's a bit exaggerated." Stockton nodded and said, "But it's not impossible to compete with LeBron within three years. Let's take a look at his performance tonight."
"Aren't you going to give him some guidance now?" Isiah Thomas suddenly asked: "Maybe your guidance can help him perform unexpectedly in tonight's game?"
"I want to see what his limits are when he can't pass the ball." Stockton smiled slightly, then turned and walked out of the game.
Seeing this, Isiah Thomas could only sigh slightly and walked out.
Yang Mo originally saw Stockton coming and wanted to go over and say hello, but in the blink of an eye, he left again. He had no choice but to give up and continue to actively train.
At the same time, the outside world's attention to this game has become more and more intense as time goes by. As the most talked about star in the league, Yang Mo openly challenges the number one player in the league today. No matter what the result is,
It has created a sensational effect. Now people who love basketball all over the world have turned their attention to it, and they are also looking forward to what the result will be tonight.
Of course, most polls show that LeBron James’ winning probability far exceeds that of Yang Mo. Because to many people, Yang Mo is more like a movie star. Although he has had many bright performances, he is not as good as LeBron James.
He is almost averaging a triple-double per game, but it is still far behind.
"How could that guy beat LeBron? Come on, this is not a competition at the same level at all!" Kevin Durant said in a very dismissive tone when reporters asked about his views on this game.
Obviously he doesn't like Yang Mo at all. Even though Yang Mo has already left him behind in the scoring list.
But, having said that, what right does Kevin Durant have to look down on Yang Mo? Now he is no better than Yang Mo. His passing skills are not much better than Yang Mo. He is just a pure scorer.
Duan is not as good as Yang Mo.
Fortunately, Yang Mo was training to adapt to the venue and did not hear what he said. If Yang Mo had heard it, he would have scolded him bloody.
In the afternoon, players from the Cavaliers and Knicks entered the field for training, but Yang Mo left. He felt that his training was enough, and it would be bad if he practiced too much before the game.
Back in the locker room, Yang Mo specifically found Stein.
"Old man, we have to spend two quarters tonight to play run-and-gun, otherwise we won't be able to create surprises for the Cavaliers." Yang Mo put forward his concept at the beginning: "If we open up the lineup and play, we
We are definitely no match for them, we will only be eroded away by them bit by bit at a lukewarm pace."
It’s not that Stein doesn’t know this truth, but he is a somewhat pedantic person: “But, does this mean that our tactics have gone on the wrong path?”
"Of course not. This is done occasionally when forced to do so." Yang Mo patted his shoulder and said: "If you win this game, I will never interfere with your tactics again. I will give you my fullest support."
of**."
After receiving Yang Mo's assurance, Stein breathed a sigh of relief. In addition to worrying about changes in tactics, what he was most worried about was that Yang Mo would sideline him and he would become a puppet. Because in this way, all the fun of the head coach would be lost.
will be hollowed out.
After finalizing the tactics, Yang Mo discussed it with Stern in detail and decided to start a crazy run and gun attack three minutes after the first quarter. In the first eight minutes, he still had to play positional offense head-on with the Cavaliers to test it.
While the Cavaliers are improving, they should also sharpen their own team.
It can be said that the first eight minutes of the first quarter will become the most critical eight minutes of the game. If these eight minutes are not tight, then... everything is over. No matter how you chase after it, it will be impossible to catch up.
After Yang Mo discussed the tactics with Stein, he took out his tactical board and drew the starting and bombing routes on it. When playing against an opponent like the Cavaliers, all movements must be detailed, and it is impossible to fight randomly and randomly.
It is necessary, but random beatings are strictly prohibited.
Time gradually passed while Yang Mo was racking his brains to draw tactics. I don’t know how long it took, but the warm-up players returned to the locker room one after another. Yang Mo quickly joined Nate Robinson, Gallinani, Jeffrey Swert, Chandler, etc.
Several players were called over and began to sort out their tactics. After Yang Mo's detailed explanation, they all nodded and thought it was feasible.
Yang Mo's tactical idea is actually very clear, that is, long-distance running and short-distance direct passes, and cross-covering each other to obtain open spaces to take action. Almost every set of attacks is based on the cooperation of three people in a small area.
There are nine changes, and everyone can become a passer, screener and attacker. Yang Mo is equivalent to merging the triangle offense with the run and gun.
Stann listened to Yang Mo's tactical arrangement and couldn't help but secretly gasped. He was also amazed by it. This is not to say how subtle this tactic is, but it is definitely effective and can be done in such a short period of time.
Laying out such targeted tactics that can be easily understood by the players is not something that ordinary head coaches can do.
Definitely genius level!
After Yang Mo laid out the tactics, Milicic walked to Yang Mo shyly and whispered: "Yang, will Paris come tonight?"
"Um..." Yang Mo was immediately stopped by the question. How did he know if Hilton would come? He scratched his scalp and said with a smile: "She should come to see your performance. Your party was not very harmonious last time.
Come on, I think if you continue this good momentum, she will definitely fall in love with you."
Yang Mo's encouragement was like a spring breeze blowing on his face, ruffling the spring water in Milicic's heart, and instantly he felt a little rippled. He smiled like a nymphomaniac and muttered: "I will definitely make her fall in love with me."
Yang Mo, a seven-foot tall man, murmured such pretentious words, and couldn't help but get goosebumps: You are seeking death! Are you acting in a Qiong Yao drama?
Of course, he kept all these slanders in his stomach. He didn't want to hurt the weak heart of the main center before the game. After all, he had to watch him make a huge impact tonight.
After comforting Milicic, whose IQ was only 20% in love, Yang Mo clapped his hands and gathered the team members together. Then he said loudly: "Soon, a big battle will come. You guys
Are you confident you can win this game?"
"Yes!" the Cavaliers players tried their best to agree. Although their voices were loud, they always felt that something was missing in terms of momentum.
"Are you afraid?" Yang Mo chuckled and said with a smile: "Do you think the Cavaliers are very strong? Do you think they have the strength to win the championship? And we are not opponents at all?"
Yang Mo's rhetorical question slowly struck the hearts of the players. Although they did not speak, they had already acquiesced in this fact.
"The Cavaliers were like this last year. Everyone said they could win the championship. Everyone said they would defeat the Heat 4-0 in the first round." Yang Mo stopped smiling and said seriously: "But,
I killed them twice in their home court. You must think it is very difficult. It is not, it is not difficult at all. The Cavaliers are just a group of weaklings who look very strong. As long as you are stronger than them, they will automatically
surrender."
Having said this, Yang Mo paused, glanced around at the crotches of his teammates, and asked with a smile: "There are no weaklings among us, right?"
Everyone smiled and shook their heads, the atmosphere was very happy,
However, Yang Mo then asked seriously and sternly: "Are there any weaklings?"
Everyone was startled at first, and then they all shouted loudly: "No!"
At this moment, all the momentum was on fire.
Finally there was a bit of fighting.
"Very good, since there are no weaklings, let us join forces to kill those weaklings in Cleveland!" Yang Mo clenched his fists, raised his arms, and said loudly: "I know no one is optimistic about us now.
Everyone thinks we are lost! Let them go to hell! We are the invincible heroes, and we will run over anyone who looks down on us. Tonight, we must win! Fight!!"
