Chapter 271: What a Courage
Soon, the game continued.
With the fans cheering "super yang" in unison, Yang Mo led the team back into battle.
As soon as Yang Mo came on the court, his eyes were fixed on Devin Harris, who had been very arrogant before. Given his personality, it was impossible for him to just watch him go on so arrogantly . Next, Yang Mo was going to beat this guy head-on in a one-on-one match.
So, as soon as Devin Harris kicked off, Yang Mo stuck closely to him and performed pressure defense across the entire court.
When Yang Mo's powerful body pressed against him, Devin Harris immediately sped up and ran wildly. He wanted to use his speed to get rid of Yang Mo, just like he got rid of Mario Chalmers before. But, unfortunately, he met his match . Yang Mo's speed was not slower than his.
Therefore, it was very difficult for him to break through, and he was hit almost every second, causing pain all over his small body. He wanted to make Yang Mo commit a defensive foul, but Yang Mo would automatically step back after hitting him, never giving him an extra second to react.
After dribbling across half court with difficulty, he immediately called Yi Jianlian to come up and screen for him, but how could Yi Jianlian's small body block Yang Mo? Yang Mo pushed him aside with force and chased him to continue defending.
Yang Mo stuck to him like a strong sticky candy, and he had no way to attack at all. In the end, he had to pass the ball to Vince Carter, but when he passed the ball, it was almost intercepted by Yang Mo.
Vince Carter took the ball and chose to pull up for a jump shot in the face of Chalmers' defense... Bang! Unfortunately, the basketball was unsuccessful. His touch was always intermittent, and he couldn't maintain the hot streak for 48 minutes in a game.
In fact, there are basically no players who can keep their hot hand for 48 minutes without losing heat. If there is one, it is Yang Mo. His god-level performance in the rookie game can be regarded as a template game of hot hand. In that game, Yang Mo made almost all three-pointers, from the first quarter to the fourth quarter.
Beasley grabbed the rebound and quickly passed it to Yang Mo. Yang Mo took the ball and immediately led the Heat players to run to the front court. When Yang Mo ran to the front court with the ball, Harris wanted to come over to defend him, but he was knocked to the side as soon as his body touched him and almost flew out.
Yang Mo easily knocked Harris aside and went straight into the restricted area. At this time, none of the Nets' big men came back to defend. They could only watch Yang Mo wreak havoc on their own basket in the backcourt.
This ball was like the Heat catching the Nets off guard. They didn't expect the Heat to suddenly speed up to this extent.
After Yang Mo's dunk, he just waved to the fans, and then continued to face Harris, continuing to press Harris throughout the court. His goal was to lock down all of Harris's attacks and let him know what sadness feels like.
Harris 's unique skill is his speed, but... when his speed meets Yang Mo's, it becomes the difference between GTi and GTR. It would be strange if he could get any good results. Moreover, his weak strength makes him completely at a disadvantage. In this case, how can he get offensive space?
You know, Yang Mo's strength can rival O'Neal, and his speed can match Iverson's. What's Harris? He is at best in the top 50 in the league, and not even in the top 10 among point guards. He can enter the All-Star Game this year just because he is a big guy among short guys, and he is just a bonus for the core of a bad team.
From the beginning, the match between Yang Mo and Harris was a crushing duel. In fact, Harris was doomed to fail before the match even started. Everyone was paying attention to this match just to see how Super Yang would deal with him. Because the two were not opponents of the same weight class at all.
Harris rushed to the front court with difficulty and immediately passed the ball to Carter. Carter was not a point guard, so it was undoubtedly difficult for him to manage the ball alone, so all of a sudden, the Nets were dragged into the quagmire by Yang Mo. The so-called DDP tactics lacked the most important link.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if the Nets could play well!
The Nets kept hitting a wall and their offense stalled, but Yang Mo led the Heat to play more and more excitedly. No matter how bad the Heat was, they were still ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference. The Nets were the second-best team in the Eastern Conference, and even if they were put in the entire league, they would still be ranked last, even worse than the Bobcats!
Devin Harris was completely silenced by the close and strong defense, in stark contrast to his previous arrogance. Yang Mo, however, used the scoring skills he had learned recently one after another. Although the success rate was not very good, it was still quite good. Moreover, for him, in such a game where the outcome was already determined, practicing moves was the best way to gain experience.
At the end of the second quarter, the Heat had reversed from an 8-point deficit to an 11-point lead, which means they created a 19-point difference in a single quarter. I don't know whether the Heat are too strong or the Nets are too weak.
For the last ball, Yang Mo personally dribbled the ball across half court. There were still seventeen seconds left when he reached the three-point line. Yang Mo bent down, stretched out his left hand lazily, and slowly patted the ball. He raised his middle finger with his right hand and pointed at Harris, who was beaten by Yang Mo, and said disdainfully, "Come on, real star, let me tell you how idol players are made."
Yang Mo's disdainful provocation immediately made Harris, who was already full of anger, even angrier. He gritted his teeth, stretched his nostrils wide to inhale the resentment into his stomach, walked up quickly, and called Vince Carter away. He actually wanted to defend Yang Mo alone.
What a courage!
Yang Mo muttered in his heart. This was his evaluation of Harris' decision to defend alone.
"How do you think I will break through you?" Facing Harris's face-to-face defense, Yang Mo asked very easily: "Should I just post up and play one-on-one? Or use my speed to force you? Or use the crossbow to trick you?"
"You will never be able to get past me this time!" Devin Harris said gritting his teeth. He was fully prepared.
"Haha, really?" Yang Mo chuckled, pointed casually to Harris' left, and said, "Then let's go from the left!"
"Come on!" Harris also hooked his finger at Yang Mo with a fierce look on his face!
"Okay! As you wish."
Yang Mo looked up at the stopwatch and found that the time had gone backwards to 9. He immediately took a half step back, exerted force with his calves, and rushed directly to his left side.
At this time, Harris assumed a wrestling stance.
