Chapter 268: Attacking Carter
Vince Carter's beautiful dunk drew applause from the audience. Humans always have heartfelt admiration for beautiful things.
Yang Mo couldn't help but look up and watch the replay. If there was one person in the world whose dunks could be described as elegant and domineering, it could only be Vince Carter. Even Tracy McGrady, who was touted by fans as having an elegant style of play, was still about three Pacific Oceans away from his cousin.
If Yang Mo was not standing on the opposite side of Vince Carter tonight, he would not be able to help but applaud for this ball. However, he did not have this thought now, because they were opponents. Vince Carter's dunk was more like a slap in the face to him.
Yang Mo was unwilling to appreciate this kind of elegant and domineering beauty, because it was a beautiful dagger stabbing into her heart.
What he should do now is not to admire the charm of the dagger, but to think about how to break this beautiful dagger so that it will not hurt him again.
So, after serving again, Yang Mo once again targeted Vince Carter. As soon as he got close to Vince Carter, Yang Mo told him very seriously: "You won't have another chance to dunk easily."
"Even if I'm eighty years old, no one can stop me from smashing the basketball into the basket." Vince Carter's response was quite domineering, but he does have the capital to be arrogant.
Yang Mo didn't get angry when she heard that, nor did she respond with harsh words. Instead, she repeated her words very seriously and emphasized her tone: "You will never have another chance to dunk easily again."
"Haha." Vince Carter chuckled and did not respond to Yang Mo. He saw persistence in Yang Mo's eyes. Persistence is a terrible thing. This kind of thing can make people burst out with amazing energy. He once saw a small man score more than 50 points under his defense, and then told himself that the basket is wider than the sea. This man's name is Iverson, and he also stared at him with this kind of eyes.
When he arrived at the frontcourt, Yang Mo took the initiative to pass the ball.
When Yang Mo received the ball one step from outside the three-point line, Vince Carter immediately stepped up to defend him. He stared closely at the basketball held in Yang Mo's hands. In his head, he was calculating how . At the same time, he was also estimating how he should stop all this from happening.
At this moment, Yang Mo suddenly took a step forward, and his shoulders followed suit. Vince Carter subconsciously took a half step back. Yang Mo quickly retracted his steps, slapped the ball to another direction, and quickly broke through to that direction.
Taking advantage of the moment when Vince Carter was fooled, Yang Mo quickly gained a half-body advantage.
Vince Carter followed closely, and when he reached the free throw line, Yang Mo suddenly stopped. Vince Carter didn't brake in time, and his body slid forward. At this time, Yang Mo had already shot quickly... Vince Carter wanted to jump up to block the shot, but it was too late. The basketball flew high over his head... Just as he turned around to try to see the final destination of the shot, Yang Mo rushed past him at an extremely fast speed. Sure enough... Bang! The basketball finally missed.
While Vince Carter was secretly shouting "bad news", Yang Mo had already quickly jumped into the air in the restricted area, snatched the rebound directly from Yi Jianlian's head, and after taking the rebound and dribbling the ball away from Yi Jianlian, he quickly jumped up and slammed the ball into the basket with such force that the basket hoop was shaking, as if he was venting some kind of anger.
It is not difficult to find from this ball that Yang Mo's mid-range shot is still not accurate enough. Fortunately, he has a keen ability in frontcourt rebounding and can complete this kind of remedial dunk by shooting and rebounding by himself.
However, this is not a long-term solution. If Yi Jianlian had not been in a , Yang Mo would never have been able to grab the rebound.
Amid the cheers of the audience, Yang Mo's expression was a little bitter. If it was easy to throw the basketball into the basket, why would it be necessary to put so much effort into it?
Back in the frontcourt, Vince Carter took the initiative to ask for the ball again. Facing Yang Mo's defense, he pretended to take a step forward and immediately shot...Swish!
The basketball went into the net smoothly and gracefully, as if mocking Yang Mo's previous effort in scoring the goal.
Vince Carter's physical function has declined with his age, but his experience has become more sophisticated and his shooting has become more accurate. His scoring has long since changed from a physical job to a technical job. This is the case with all old players. They can always use the least amount of force to get the basketball into the basket.
Vince Carter scored again and again, and Yang Mo couldn't help but get excited about the challenge. Back in the half court, he directly stepped back to the free throw line to get the ball, received the pass, and used his tyrannical strength to gain a spatial advantage, then turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper... Swoosh!
The basketball was also scored very cleverly.
In the next three minutes, the game turned into a duel between Vince Carter and Yang Mo. Vince Carter made a mid-range pull-up jumper, and Yang Mo could immediately respond with a post-up single. Vince Carter made a three-pointer, and Yang Mo returned a breakthrough layup.
Both players had hot hands, and although the one-on-one duel between the two was not what the fans had expected, it was still exciting, since Devin Harris was sitting on the bench, so there had to be some excitement, right?
The two of them fought back and forth with sparks flying, but Yang Mo still felt a little unsatisfied, as if he was missing something. He also wanted to have a wonderful dunk like Vince Carter.
Soon, Yang Mo got this opportunity.
When Vince Carter broke through Yang Mo from the left side and was about to make a layup against Yang Mo's defense, he was caught by Jermaine O'Neal who came to defend. Although Jermaine O'Neal's current jumping ability does not exceed 50 centimeters, Vince Carter could not jump more than 20 centimeters under Yang Mo's suppression. The height difference between the two is so obvious, plus the jumping difference, it would be strange if he was not caught?
In fact, this is also the usual way of Yang Mo and Jermaine O'Neal's chain defense. Yang Mo deliberately lets some players into the restricted area, and then deliberately creates space for them to layup, and then... Jermaine O'Neal naturally blocks the shot. This is why he averaged 2.3 blocks per game after being traded to Miami.
After Jermaine O'Neal caught the basketball thrown by Carter, he quickly passed it to Yang Mo.
As soon as Yang Mo received the basketball, he immediately rushed to the front court at lightning speed. Yang Mo rushed like a bull. Bobby Simmons, who wanted to defend and delay him, dodged directly. He didn't want to be knocked away to test Yang Mo's impact.
If you block others, at most you will be called for a foul, but if you block Yang Mo, you may have to take medicine for the rest of your life.
He is not stupid.
After he dodged, Yang Mo saw a vast expanse of open space in front of him. Yang Mo immediately accelerated again and rushed towards the restricted area in the front court! !
