"I have to regret to tell you that I will win tonight." Yang Mo smiled very apologetically at Michael Jordan: "I'm sorry, sorry!"
Yang Mo's sorry was undoubtedly the highest level of provocation for Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan never forgives any opponent's provocation, so he took a breath of air and then nodded to Yang Mo: "I accept your apology.
I won, but the victory is mine."
Although Michael Jordan did not glare and gnash his teeth like Kobe Bryant, his anger could be easily felt.
However, for Yang Mo, he wished that Michael Jordan would enter a state of anger, because no matter how powerful Michael Jordan was, as long as he had too many obsessions in his heart, there would be conflicts between the individual and the team. In comparison, of course, a whole
The Bulls are even scarier. After all, basketball is a competition between five people. Even the God of Basketball cannot do without the help of his teammates.
Yang Mo thought that the angry Michael Jordan would enter singles mode, just like his successor Kobe Bryant. But the result was disappointing to Yang Mo. Michael Jordan did not enter the singles game after returning to half court.
Instead, he actively interspersed and used his strong containment ability to forcefully destroy the Jazz's defensive system. Then his other teammates easily got scoring opportunities. Soon, Ron Hubble received his pass.
Facing the unguarded three-point line, he easily threw the ball into the net.
Michael Jordan's head is very clear, and he understands what is more beneficial to the team. Perhaps Kobe's scoring ability is not much different from Michael Jordan, but his ability to judge the overall situation and his ability to read the game are at least far behind Jordan.
He is five blocks away. This is why no matter how good he is, he can always only hope to be ranked second on the list of shooting guards in NBA history.
Jordan was so calm, and Yang Mo didn't give in too much. Yang Mo's ability to read the game was no worse than Michael Jordan, so after he returned to the half court, he didn't fall into singles. Instead, after the pick-and-roll with Karl Malone,
Quickly, he attracted Rodman's close defense and passed the ball to Karl Malone behind him. Karl Malone faced the misplaced defender Scottie Pippen. Naturally, he hit the mid-range shot very easily.
Both Yang Mo and Michael Jordan chose to let their teammates resolve the battle. They both transformed into electric eels among the sardines, constantly activating their teammates and facilitating their scoring.
In this case, the score between the two teams slowly increased anxiously. Since Yang Mo hit the Bulls with a heavy blow at the beginning, Salt Lake City, which played at home, was able to maintain a five to six point lead.
This lead was maintained until one minute before halftime. Just when the minutes ran out and the time was counted in seconds, Michael Jordan, who had been patient, suddenly launched a fierce attack. He first stole Karl Malone's basketball through a double team and rushed forward.
Hit a three-pointer in the game. Then he took advantage of Russell's missed mid-range shot, grabbed the rebound, and quickly broke into the penalty area, causing Ostertag's foul, and the score was 2+1.
In less than twenty seconds, Michael Jordan turned a five-point deficit into a one-point lead.
At this moment, Yang Mo truly understood what it means to be a ruler.
Michael Jordan can go a whole game without taking a shot, but when he wants to score, there is nothing to stop him. You can only watch him throw the ball into the basket, and the opponent is completely unable to stop it.
This is what dominance is! LeBron James, who is known as the best player in the league, is really weak compared to Jordan. James's scoring ability at critical moments is not even as good as Nate Robinson.
Michael Jordan showed his dominance, and Yang Mo's heart couldn't help but beat loudly. Almost in an instant, he decided how to play the next ball.
He dribbled the ball back to the half court. Facing Scottie Pippen's defense, he quickly bent down, lowered his head and made a quick breakthrough. He opened a step away in an instant, but he did not break through.
, instead he made a sudden stop and suddenly took a step back, catching Scottie Pippen off guard.
Taking advantage of Scottie Pippen's unprepared moment, Yang Mo immediately prepared for a fadeaway jumper, but just when he was about to lift the basketball, Michael Jordan unexpectedly came out of the diagonal stab, opened his arms and tried to slap the ball hard.
Yang Mo knocked down the basketball.
Seeing this, Yang Mo quickly gave up shooting. He wanted to pass the ball but found that Jordan had completely blocked all possibilities of passing the ball. It seemed that it was premeditated. Seeing that Scottie Pippen was about to double-team, Yang Mo made a quick decision
, jumped up high and hit the ball hard on Pippen's shoulder... Bang! The basketball hit Scott Pippen's shoulder hard, and then the basketball flew out quickly... Oops! The referee blew the whistle
Sound, signaling the Jazz's possession of the ball.
"John, we have long guessed that you will attack with retaliation." Scott Pippen laughed at Yang Mo: "You will never be Michael Jordan. He always creates opportunities, but you are following suit.
follow."
Although Scottie Pippen's words were full of irony, but Yang Mo thought about it carefully, he felt that what he said was very reasonable. He was indeed influenced by Michael Jordan. When he saw his dominating scoring, he felt very happy in his heart.
I can't help but start to throb. This is indeed Handan's imitation. How can any ruler succeed by imitating?
The reason why Kobe Carter and others can never catch up with Michael Jordan is because they have been imitating Michael Jordan's handling methods all their lives. However, there is only one Michael Jordan. No matter how good they are, they are only second and will never reach the level.
First.
In an instant, Yang Mo felt a sense of enlightenment. He suddenly felt enlightened, but he did not spare Scottie Pippen: "Then you didn't guess that I would hit your shoulder with the ball?"
Yang Mo's words were also full of acupuncture. Obviously, this rhetorical question was something Pippen couldn't answer, just like when he said to Karl Malone, "The postman doesn't work on Sundays."
Very quickly, Russell sent the ball to Yang Mo again. After receiving the ball, Yang Mo did not continue to attack forcefully, but summoned Karl Malone to come out, use his body to quickly break through and rush in.
After attracting double-teams from behind the penalty area, he threw the ball into the sky. Russell, who was running from the other side, jumped high and slammed the ball into the basket.
"I will never follow in your footsteps and imitate. I will have my own way of dominating the game." Yang Mo said directly to Michael Jordan.
"It's none of my business." Michael Jordan curled his lips, looking nonchalant.
But in fact, he was surprised in his heart. Too many people have challenged him over the years, but many people have challenged Jordan in Jordan's way. Isn't this asking for death? You must know that Jordan's rules are but Jordan himself
Created, how can you defeat the Creator?
Yang Mo didn't care whether there was a difference between Jordan's appearance and his heart. He only knew that he had to use strong defense to restrict Jordan. He entangled Michael Jordan in one and half games, constantly using his body and speed.
To create a collision with Jordan, Jordan's physical fitness is very good, but he is old after all, and he is somewhat overwhelmed by the impact of Yang Mo's body like a wild beast.
Yang Mo clung to Jordan like brown sugar, and used his body to hit him every now and then. In this case, Jordan simply stopped holding the ball. He created space for the team through constant running, but in the end Pippen's touch was slightly
He missed the mark when he shot an eighteen-foot basketball short and hit the front of the basket. In the end, Yang Mo snatched the basketball away in front of Dennis Rodman.
Seeing Yang Mo grab the rebound in front of him, Rodman couldn't help but be curious: Could this guy also guess where the basketball would land? He was obviously farther away than me just now, but he could predict the landing point in advance?
In a sense, Yang Mo can be called a smaller version of Dennis Rodman. He even has a better sense of rebound than Rodman. Therefore, he can steal Rodman's rebounds without any problems.
Not surprising.
Back at halftime, Yang Mo once again chose to break through and distribute the ball, but this time he did not distribute the ball to the penalty area, but distributed it to Hornacek outside the three-point line. Hornacek was also really up to his game and steadily scored.
Hit three points.
At this time, the second quarter ended with a three-pointer at the buzzer. The Jazz entered the second half with a four-point lead.
Back in the locker room, Coach Sloan emphasized defense. He believed that Russell and Yang Mo should double-team Michael Jordan in the second half. But Yang Mo gave a different answer to this strategy: "Leave Jordan to me alone."
Well, Russell should defend Ron Harper. We should break up their triangle tactics first so that they can't find the rhythm of the team's offense. This will be more beneficial to our victory. As for Michael Jordan, I will use
The tenacious defense creates difficulties for him, and even if it cannot prevent him from scoring, it will make it extremely difficult for him to score."
"Can you really defend Michael by yourself?" Sloan said with some worry: "You have to know that once Michael Jordan gets angry, his combat effectiveness can exceed that of the entire team."
"I will never let him get whatever he wants." Yang Mo replied firmly.
"Well, Michael Jordan will be left to you. Russell, you go deal with Ron Harper. You have to block his pass. You would rather let him shoot than pass the basketball into the paint." Sloan turned around.
Go and tell Russell personally.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Mo continued to add: "You can let Ron Harper pass the ball to Michael Jordan, but you can never let him pass the ball to Scottie Pippen. We have to do it in the third quarter."
Open up the gap and then win in the fourth quarter. Your performance is very crucial!"
"Yeah." Russell nodded heavily. He was very confident. As a defensive champion, although he couldn't guard Michael Jordan, he was still confident if he had to defend Ron Harper in a targeted manner.
After Sloan laid out the perimeter defense strategy, he then focused on explaining the use of pick-and-roll tactics. Yang Mo benefited a lot from his explanation. He had never received such tactical instruction from an academy since he joined professional basketball.
