Chapter 295 People Under the Eaves
The Celtics' defense is very tough, but it is not without ways to break it. It's just that Yang Mo can't do it now. His strength is not enough to tear down the opponent's defense alone. All he can do is delay the connection between their defenses and help other teammates, especially Dwyane Wade, to force defense, that's all.
In the past, Yang Mo only needed to complete his duties, either defending or scoring, and he didn't need to lead the team. Even if he led the team, Wade was not there, and he had full control over the firing rights. But now, Yang Mo felt as if someone was strangling him. He had no strength to use, and he did feel that he was not strong enough.
The connection of offensive techniques and the improvement of weak passing ability.
These are the two mountains that Yang Mo faces. Although his defense, his physical fitness, his three-point shooting, and his post-up singles are enough to make him a foothold in the NBA, and his next contract can easily earn him over 10 million yuan a year, but... if he wants to become a superstar, he must overcome these two mountains. Otherwise, his life will be like this.
call!
Yang Mo put the tactical board down and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had to find some famous teachers to hone his skills during the off-season.
Yang Mo actually doesn't have much hope for this season. Others don't know how weak this team is, but as an insider, he knows it better than anyone else. There is basically no attack in the interior, and the only slightly stable attack from the outside is Dwyane Wade, and the coaching staff has not yet found a way to balance the ball rights.
On the defensive end, it was even more pitiful, as almost all the defense was initiated from Yang Mo. Without Yang Mo, Jermaine O'Neal would not be able to block shots or grab rebounds, and without Yang Mo as a gatekeeper on the outside, there was no way to form a defensive counterattack.
The playoffs and the regular season are two different concepts. In the regular season, you may be able to defeat your opponent with the "random hitting" tactics led by Yang Mo, but the playoffs are different. The playoffs are seven games, two familiar teams play seven games. It is impossible for you to use the "random hitting" tactics to take away your opponent in one wave. After all, the opponent's coaching staff is not a pushover. You can only win one or two games by relying on strange tactics. If you really want to play, it still depends on your strength.
But strength is exactly what the Heat lacks the most. The starting five can barely be considered NBA players, but the bench is full of NBDL-level players.
There are five games left, all of which are bottom-ranked teams, so it's basically no problem for us to enter the playoffs. The question is whether we enter as the seventh or eighth seed, because it means the opponent will be the Cavaliers or the Celtics.
Yang Mo prefers to face the Cavaliers. Although the Cavaliers are also a strong team, even stronger than the Celtics, but... the Cavaliers are LeBron James' one-man team after all, and a single-core team is always easier to deal with.
Yang Mo's thoughts wandered for a while, and Wade had already sat next to him and whispered, "In the second half, we need to play more pick-and-rolls on the offensive end. You are the strongest three-point shooter on our team."
"But...if the ball is passed to me, I may not be able to pass it. You know my passing ability is very weak." Yang Mo said .
"I'll help you." Wade patted Yang Mo's shoulder and encouraged her, "I believe it's not difficult for you to get rid of the defense with your current ability. You can be a little independent, and I won't mind."
"Yeah." Yang Mo nodded. Wade had already said this, and saying anything else would seem pretentious.
To be fair, Dwyane Wade is indeed a good boss, who helped Yang Mo at many critical moments, and sometimes even gave her decisive advice. However, Yang Mo had to leave him because under his protection, it would be difficult for Yang Mo to stand on his own for three to five years.
At this time, the staff had come over to urge the players that the game was about to start.
The players hurried out and came to the court. After a few warm-ups, the game continued. When the game continued, Yang Mo was extremely surprised to find that Ray Allen, who played the killer in the first half, did not appear on the court. Looking at their bench, there was no trace of him either.
Did something unexpected happen?
Yang Mo frowned and thought with a little surprise.
After Yang Mo passed the ball to Wade, he immediately ran to the front court. When Yang Mo reached the half court, he suddenly stopped outside the three-point line, which surprised the Celtics players: Shouldn't this guy be running around? Why is he stopping outside? Is he tired?
When they were surprised, Wade had already rushed over with the ball. As soon as he came over, Yang Mo stepped forward and made a solid pick-and-roll for him. In an instant, he shook off the defending Eddie House and rushed straight into the three-point line. Pierce quickly came up to make up for the defense.
When Wade led Pierce to the free throw line, he suddenly turned around and passed the basketball to Yang Mo.
Yang Mo received the ball and faced Eddie House's defense, and directly pulled up for a jump shot...Swish!
The basketball went into the net.
The increased explosive power made Yang Mo faster and more accurate.
When the three-pointer went into the net, the long-suppressed Red Army immediately started celebrating, with all kinds of screams and whistles. Their long-suppressed passion was finally vented.
Seeing how excited they were, Yang Mo couldn't help but give them a "Young Pioneer salute". This salute immediately made the crazy scene even more frenzied. The Celtics fans were completely suppressed, and even many Celtics fans helped them cheer and shout, because after this one-hour contact, many Celtics fans have begun to show their favor to the girls. To them, what is the home team? Girls are the king! It's not shameful to betray for a woman. How many heroes throughout the ages have been defeated by beautiful women? This is called romantic!
Yang Mo's goal made Pierce very unhappy. He didn't expect that Yang Mo, who was suppressed by him in the first half, would give him a warning at the beginning of the second half.
So, as soon as he returned to the half court, he asked Rajon Rondo for the ball, and he tried to make a three-pointer to completely suppress Yang Mo.
Yang Mo really couldn't defend Pierce, but if he only wanted to defend Pierce's three-pointers, it would be much easier. He just needed to stick to him and use his strength to disrupt his rhythm, because there was no need to estimate his fake moves or his breakthroughs.
Yang Mo bet that Pierce would shoot a three-pointer, and he bet right. Therefore, under his strong interference, Pierce did not make the shot, but instead missed the basket.
At the moment when Pierce's basketball slipped out of the rim, Yang Mo deliberately shook his head at Pierce and commented on him in a bossy tone: "Dude, your three-point shooting stability is not good enough! If you can increase your three-point shooting rate by 20 percentage points, the company's advertising copy will be much easier to write. Come on!"
Yang Mo's bossy tone made Pierce particularly uncomfortable, but he had to endure it. Who would want Yang Mo to be a shareholder of Nike? There was no other way. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Back in the half court, Yang Mo once again did a pick-and-roll with Wade. This time he did not choose a three-point jump shot. Instead, he backed up against the short Eddie House and then took a jump shot from the top of the arc...Swish!
Yang Mo scored easily, and the North Shore Garden Arena was once again filled with cheers and turned into a sea of joy.
Yang Mo's back-to-the-basket attack can be used against big centers. How can a small guy like Eddie House be his opponent? Yang Mo can eat as many of them as he wants.
Seeing this, Rivers quickly made a gesture and changed the defensive lineup. He could no longer let Yang Mo have his way.
