This dark horse battle between the East and the West ended in a dramatic fourth quarter. Yang Mo, who made 5 of 8 three-pointers in the fourth quarter, was once again pushed to the forefront of public opinion. Almost everyone was discussing one issue, using
Is it reasonable for two teammates to serve as a screen for a shot?
People who think it is unreasonable think that this is simply connivance to shooters. If this continues, each team can simply put four muscular men and one shooter. By then, the game will be no different from penalty kicks in football.
Ah. The competitiveness will be greatly reduced until it disappears.
Those who thought it was reasonable said that while using multiple people to cover shots, they also gave up the second attack. Risks and opportunities were equal, and there was nothing unfair about it.
The debate between the two sides became increasingly fierce, and in the end, the league's top leaders had to stand up and express their opinions, saying that they would carefully consider the opinions of all parties and make a decision that satisfies everyone.
Yang Mo paid no attention to the arguments from the outside world. He put all his thoughts on his passing skills. He still threw tennis balls tirelessly every day. In the following games, he also always implemented Stoke's
Dun's teaching is to practice passing the ball in the first three quarters and work hard in the fourth quarter.
In a sense, this style of play is a deformed model established for Yang Mo's personal growth, but for the current Knicks, Yang Mo's growth is more important than anything else. They are willing to play with Yang Mo and let him
Yang Mo grew up. For this reason, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his record. Anyway, the Knicks' top management did not make any substantive requirements for this year's record.
It stands to reason that with the temper of New York fans who hate Yang Mo to the core, they will definitely resist this game mode that sacrifices the interests of the team, but in fact, all Knicks fans have shut their mouths, and few people think so.
Expressing doubt. Even if the Knicks start to lose games continuously. In fact, since defeating the Grizzlies, the Knicks have lost all three games. Their opponents are the Minnesota Timberwolves, Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers.
In essence, these three teams are not considered strong teams, and the Timberwolves can even be called a bad team. However, the Knicks just lost. However, even though they lost, the Knicks fans were even more filled with enthusiasm.
Confidence, this is not because these three games were all away games. It is because these three games only lost 1 point, 2 points, and 1 point respectively. The reason for losing to the Timberwolves was that Yang Mo missed the shot.
The reason for the loss to the Jazz was a three-pointer with 0.8 seconds, and the reason for the loss to the Trail Blazers was because Yang Mo's three-pointer stepped on the line, completely losing the chance to tie and enter overtime.
Can the Knicks not be happy about digging 20-30 points in the first three quarters and holding on until the last second to decide the winner? And, most importantly, Yang Mo’s assists in these three games were
5 times, 3 times, 5 times.
Although Yang Mo's long passes are still unreliable, short-distance passes have become increasingly difficult to make mistakes.
While Knicks fans were happy about it, Simmons, who once hated Yang Mo to the core, also wrote a praising article in his espn column: "The Knicks are winning the future! Super-yang is walking in the super
The fast track to superstardom!”
In this article, he focused on praising Yang Mo's ability to handle key balls. He believed that although Yang Mo in the past could often produce beautiful statistics, he rarely proved himself at critical moments. His games were either big wins or big wins.
It was a disastrous defeat, and it was rare to win or lose within one or two points. Now Yang Mo has grown up rapidly in this area. Moreover, he also expressed his appreciation for Yang Mo's short-distance passing, thinking that it was safe and concealed, and it was very useful.
Stockton style.
Of course, in addition to praise, there is also criticism. He still stubbornly believes that Yang Mo can only score outside the three-point line and in the paint, and he can still only be regarded as an enhanced version of Nick Young.
However, at the end of the article, he still wrote emotionally: Although I hate his arrogance, I can't help but applaud him for his three points. Although I hate his openness, I still can't help but applaud him.
When he rushes into the penalty area and dunks on his opponent, I still keep my mouth shut. His mid-range shooting drives me crazy, but his defensive ability makes me clap my thigh and cheer for him. His
His passing is terrible, but his shooting is accurate... He is just such a guy. He has many advantages and many shortcomings. Fortunately, he is still young.
Bill Simmons' column seems to herald a change in the atmosphere of the entire basketball world. In recent times, there has been a lot less nitpicking, and all kinds of stupidity have gradually subsided. Various sports media have finally begun to look at Yang Mo with normal eyes...
…
Yang Mo had long predicted that such a day would come, but he didn't expect that public opinion would change so quickly.
No matter how public opinion changes, the entire Knicks team still plays according to their model, which is to mess up the first three quarters for Yang Mo to hone his passing ability, and then enter the suffocating defensive time in the fourth quarter.
The relaxed pace of the game allowed other players to have a good game experience. Gradually, they also began to hone their offensive skills in the first three quarters. Anyway, Yang Mo basically didn't shoot in the first three quarters and had the ball.
It was well distributed. But in the fourth quarter, all the players cheered up and imprinted the defense into their blood, and showed a vicious attitude to attack.
In this game mode, almost all players have grown, and the data of every rotation player has been improved to different levels. However, after playing like this for a month and the playoffs are about to come, Tracy McGrady
But he couldn't help but speak out in front of the media: "I can't help it. I feel terrible about the current situation. We absolutely can't continue like this. The playoffs are coming soon. We have to fight for tickets to the playoffs."
And hard work. You see, we are now seventh in the Eastern Conference, only 1.5 games away from eighth place, and only 2.5 games away from ninth place. We can't continue to play."
Tracy McGrady's complaints seemed to give reporters something unusual. They thought Tracy McGrady had finally exploded and was finally going to open fire internally.
When these reporters rushed to Yang Mo trying to get some different information, Yang Mo responded very calmly: "This is his personal opinion. If you want to know more, you should ask him instead of coming to me.
Thanks."
Yang Mo's response was instantly interpreted as tit for tat by the media. They generally believed that Yang Mo was already dissatisfied with Tracy McGrady.
For the media, they like to create conflicts the most. Even if there is no conflict, they will create rumors. After all, they survive by exposure. Originally, they thought that Yang Mo, who has a strong personality, would immediately conflict with the former franchise player McGrady, but they did not expect that it would always happen.
Nothing happened, and it was only now that they had almost forgotten the incident that Tracy McGrady expressed a different opinion.
Deliberately created and publicized by the media, the conflict between Yang Mo and Tracy McGrady has become more and more intense. Because Yang Mo is the most influential player in the NBA today, and Tracy McGrady is a former signature star, the two have conflicts.
, instantly sparked a national discussion.
Everyone expressed their opinions in various ways at various times and in various places, and it is worth mentioning that when the media interviewed Knicks fans on the street, almost all public opinions were overwhelmingly in favor of Yang Mo, a New York fan.
The arrogant person in the mouth, the big devil.
"Regarding this matter, I support that guy. You know, that guy is only 20 years old. Letting him practice passing is the most important thing for the Knicks at this stage. It doesn't matter if we don't make the playoffs. We
The goal is in the future." An old fan in his fifties said excitedly. This old guy is obviously full of confidence in the future of the Knicks, even though he himself seems to have no future.
"Maybe Tracy can't wait any longer, but I still want to say that we should let the team go at its original pace."
"I hate that Chinese guy. I even tore up the jersey my daughter bought with 'yang' written on it yesterday. But what Tracy did is obviously wrong."
"Although I don't like that guy, I don't support Tracy McGrady on this matter."
Almost all comments start with "I don't like Yang Mo" or "I hate Yang Mo" and end with "But I support him this time" and "But I think Tracy McGrady is wrong."
Obviously, Knicks fans have actually been conquered by Yang Mo, but they are just unwilling to admit it. Because once they admit it, it means that they were wrong in the past.
While the grievances between Yang Mo and Tracy McGrady were aroused by the outside world, a heavyweight game was also coming, the Knicks faced off against the Boston Celtics at home.
The Boston Celtics' record is now ranked second in the Eastern Conference, and they are only one win away from the Magic, which is first in the Eastern Conference. Theoretically, their playoff opponent is the New York Knicks, so this game is
Call it a preview of the playoffs.
The tickets for this game were announced to be sold out a week ago. With the Yankees in the doldrums, New Yorkers gave almost all their love to the Knicks.
The Knicks executives also attach great importance to this game. They very much hope to use this game to push MSG's stock price up. At the same time, they are about to announce the ticket prices for next season. They are considering purchasing tickets this season.
An increase of 20% on the basis of the price increase. And this game is obviously a litmus test for the price increase. If they win, they have every reason to tell the fans: Look, we can even beat the Celtics.
Well, why can't you pay 20% more for the team?
Yang Mo seemed a little listless because of the management's great attention, because that guy Lu Xuefei was tinkering with her plan to harmonize the harem again.
