Steve Cole was speechless. He really couldn't answer this question, because by analogy, he would also be attacked. No matter what vicious words he used to describe Yang Mo, these vicious words would be reflected quickly.
onto him.
In fact, Yang Mo didn't think so long-term, he just simply wanted to win, that's all.
For him, there is no difference between playing the Magic and playing the Cavaliers. The only tricky thing is whether they will meet the Celtics in the first round. With the Knicks' current lineup, they will encounter an old and tough team with rich experience.
Yang Mo is not optimistic about the Celtics. But if he meets the Cavaliers or Magic, Yang Mo will not be afraid at all, because these two teams have too many shortcomings. In a conventional sense, these two teams are also
It is not a playoff team in the traditional sense. If you put it in the Western Conference, it is estimated that they will go home in the first round!
Yang Mo, who was sitting on the bench, thought for a while. After carefully analyzing Kobe's character and Zen Master's reaction, he resolutely replaced the defense-oriented lineup with Milicic, Wilt Chandler,
Gallinani, Douglas. In fact, if Anthony Randolph wasn't too weak, Yang Mo wouldn't even want to put Milicic on them.
"Now we have a fifteen-point lead, and our next task is to expand the lead to 30 points. Before Kobe wakes up, we must beat the Lakers to death!" Yang Mo mobilized enthusiastically.
After he finished mobilizing, Stan immediately stepped forward to arrange specific tactical moves. His job now is to focus on the details, and the general direction is completely led by Yang Mo. He is not dissatisfied with this status. He is different from D'Antoni, D'Antoni
He thought that he was a famous coach after all, so he didn't like Yang Mo interfering in the team's internal affairs. Even though Yang Mo was obviously better than him in terms of tactical literacy, he lost his position as coach and was idle at home in disgrace. There is still no news to this day.
But Stan is different. He has never regarded himself as a famous coach. He was promoted by Yang Mo. He is well aware of Yang Mo's energy in the team, and he also knows Yang Mo's tactical vision, so he does not
Will he easily go against Yang Mo?
Soon, the bell rang loudly, the break was over, and the game continued.
Returning to the court, Kobe still looked murderous. Seeing this, Yang Mo was completely relieved. As long as Kobe's anger is still there, it proves that his singles mode is still on. Moreover, another good news for the Knicks is that
, Bynum has been sitting off the court. It seems that the internal conflicts of the Lakers have still not been resolved. In other words, Zen Master hopes to use this cold approach to deal with the trouble.
As the referee blew the whistle, Yang Mo quickly passed the ball to Douglas. Then he slowly ran towards the frontcourt. Kobe followed Yang Mo closely. As he followed Yang Mo, he said coldly: "I know you
Intention. You want to anger me, you want me to play singles so that your team can win. Right? You never wanted to win from the beginning, this is all your conspiracy, right??"
Kobe Bryant's sudden question made Yang Mo slightly stunned. Then Yang Mo admitted with a smile on his face: "Yes, you guessed it right, that's what I thought. But... what can you do? Now
The whole world knows about your duel with me. Can you afford to lose? Can Kobe Bryant afford to lose? I can afford to lose, because I am only a second-year student, and you...the guy who calls himself the number one star in the league
, do you dare to lose?"
Yang Mo looked frank, but his frankness did not make Kobe Bryant feel comfortable. Kobe Bryant even made his teeth chatter due to his frankness, and it took him a while to say: "You are so cruel!"
"Thank you." Yang Mo smiled slightly. He enjoyed the battle of wits and courage with Kobe Bryant. The player in this league who knows Yang Mo best is Kobe Bryant, and the only player who knows Kobe Bryant best is Yang Mo. Yang
Mo knew very well where Kobe Bryant's Achilles' heel was, but Kobe didn't know where Yang Mo's Achilles' heel was. He only knew that Yang Mo was his own shadow, which was like a copy in many ways. However, today his shadow was
They struck him and dug a hole for him. Moreover, he had to jump out of this hole! Because he is Kobe Bryant, the Kobe Bryant who never admits defeat and does not dare to lose.
While the two were chatting, Wilt Chandler had already scored. He forced a break through the basket to attract double-teams and then passed the ball to Milicic, who scored an easy layup. The Knicks extended their lead to 17 points.
Seeing the point difference between the two teams getting bigger and bigger, Kobe seemed a little anxious. His heart began to swing from side to side. He not only wanted to win the game, but also wanted to win the duel with Yang Mo. In this dilemma, he finally
Still choosing to pass the ball, he came to the frontcourt, received the basketball from Fisher, and quickly handed it to Pau Gasol inside.
Gasol caught the ball and hit Milicic twice, quickly used his gorgeous steps to get out of the open space, and quickly shot... Bang! It's a pity that this wonderful action did not create a wonderful goal. This was his first in the game.
The first time I take a shot, it is inevitable that I am a little unsure of the feel.
The iron basketball was immediately picked off by Yang Mo who flew into the paint. After Yang Mo picked off the backboard, he quickly launched a fast break. He ran all the way, and Kobe chased him all the way. He was a little out of breath after chasing him, and just when he was about to
When he gave up, Yang Mo suddenly slowed down, then turned around and smiled at him: "Hey, old man, I was teasing you on purpose."
Yang Mo's teasing made Kobe a little uncomfortable. At this moment, he had to accept his old age. This sudden madness really made him a little unbearable. After all, he was old!
At the same time as Yang Mo slowed down, the Lakers' inside line quickly returned to the penalty area. Just after the Lakers' inside line stationed inside, Yang Mo quickly started up from outside the three-point line. At this time, Kobe was about to step forward to block the ball.
Blocking Yang Mo's path, Yang Mo's sudden start caught him off guard again. The two of them didn't even meet each other, and Yang Mo once again threw away his sight.
After getting rid of Kobe's defense, Yang Mo rushed into the penalty area like a ghost. Before Lamar Odom had time to react, Yang Mo had already come to his side. Just as he was about to dodge, Yang Mo directly rubbed against his body, and then
...Throwing the ball with a twisted posture... Oops! The referee blew the whistle decisively, wow! And at the same time as the referee made a foul on Odom, the basketball also fell into the net!
Once again, two plus one!
The female fans at the scene immediately burst into the most fervent cheers and shouts. They love Yang Mo to death. In this stadium, there will be no one who loves super-yang more than them.
"Now, I've equaled your number of fouls again!" After Yang Mo reminded him, he quickly walked to the free throw line... I don't know if it was because he was too happy or what, but bang! Yang Mo actually hit the iron!
This rare strike actually shocked the Lakers' insiders. Will Super-Yang also miss free throws?
And at the moment when they were stunned, Yang Mo had quickly rushed into the penalty area. No one knew better than him where the basketball he shot would land, so he jumped into the air and easily grabbed Gasol's shot.
Control the ball from the air in front and gently tap it into the basket... Wow!
21 points!
The defending champion is already 21 points behind.
This is simply a shameful point difference. For Los Angeles fans, they would rather see the Clippers lose by 50 points than the Lakers lose by 20 points. After all...the Lakers are their glory!
But at this time, as the general marshal of the Purple and Gold Army, Kobe Bryant is more worried about another thing: this guy actually equalized. What should I do? I can't lose, I can't lose, I have to get back on the field!
Obviously, even when Kobe is thirty years old, he is still so impulsive, and he is still used to putting his personal thinking above the glory of the team. Now he only knows that he cannot lose, but does not think about whether the Lakers will lose or not. Of course, this has nothing to do with
It also has something to do with the fact that this game is just an ordinary and inconsequential regular season game. I believe that in the playoffs, it is definitely impossible for him to care about 'personal honors' so much. Of course, the Zen Master will not allow him to do this.
So, back at halftime, Kobe once again initiated a breakthrough, and his breakthrough was just as he hoped. He got a foul. Gallinani couldn't help but stretched out his hand when Kobe broke through and tried to steal him.
How could this obvious act of stealing a chicken be successful on Kobe? Naturally, the result was that the referee blew the whistle and called him a foul!
This foul put Kobe ahead of Yang Mo again. But Yang Mo didn't pay much attention to it and continued to play the way he did.
However, Kobe seems to be worried about gains and losses. When leading Yang Mo, he always hopes to hand the ball to his teammates and let them participate in the game, but the effect is not particularly good. As long as Yang Mo sees Kobe's tendency to play team basketball, he will
He tried every possible means to seek fouls, forcing Kobe Bryant to go back to the path of drawing fouls again.
For Yang Mo, this is no longer a conspiracy, but a naked plot, an aboveboard calculation. Kobe Bryant, who made him cherish feathers so much? If he had a more easy-going personality and less ambition for victory or defeat.
At least, Yang Mo wouldn't take advantage of him.
In this repeated cycle, not only did the Lakers fail to produce a good chemical reaction, Kobe's own efficiency also greatly decreased with the continuous interruption of passes, so... the point difference continued to increase, and soon there were some tragedies.
It makes sense. In fact, before the end of the second quarter, many Lakers fans got up and left. They really were not in the mood to continue to watch the home team being defeated and slaughtered.
And that's not the worst thing. The worst thing is that even though the Lakers lost so many points, Kobe was still tied with Yang Mo in drawing fouls.
There is no doubt that this is a sad story.
But after all, this is also a natural result. Kobe fell into passivity from the beginning. He was put back and forth on the scale of "personal" and "team" by Yang Mo. In this kind of swing, it was impossible for him to do anything.
Okay, so this resulted in the team falling behind by a big score, and at the same time, he failed to get what he desperately needed.
If he concentrates on making fouls, he may leave Yang Mo far behind. Similarly, if he ignores personal honor and disgrace and plays as a team, the team will be even less likely to lose so many points, and may even be much ahead. After all, the Lakers'
The hard power far exceeds that of the Knicks.
