Chapter 372: Leader Chen Haonan
The name Stockton was not unfamiliar to Yang Mo, although this guy was very low-key and almost never did anything out of the ordinary. However, his statistics were there, and no matter how brilliant the point guards who came after him were, his assists and steals would always be an insurmountable monument.
"Do you think he will teach me ?" Yang Mo asked curiously, "I'm not familiar with him at all. He may not even know me."
"That depends on you." Isaiah Thomas shrugged. "I can help you try to contact him now. If he is willing to come to New York, that would be the best."
"As long as he is willing to teach me, I am willing to pay a high price." Yang Mo was like grasping a life-saving straw. He couldn't wait to improve his basketball skills. As for money, it was nothing more than a number to him. His net worth was already enough to compete with more than half of the bosses in the league. Therefore, any problem that could be solved with money would not be a big problem for him.
"I'll try to contact him. I don't think he's short of money." Isaiah Thomas shrugged and said, "I suddenly can't imagine it now. Would n't ?"
Hearing this, Yang Mo smiled calmly and replied, "It doesn't matter if the passing method is mediocre. As long as my teammates can put the ball into the basket smoothly, that's enough."
"I'm still looking forward to what you'll become after learning the Stockton-style pass." Isaiah Thomas smirked and strode out of the court. He had to hurry up and contact Stockton, after all, Yang Mo's growth was also a good thing for him.
Yang Mo simply gave up the passing training and instead actively trained the ball-holding breakthrough. Tonight will be the first time for him to appear as a team's main attacker, or in other words, as a tactical core. He doesn't need to keep changing roles, he just needs to do one thing well.
In this way, Yang Mo's pressure will undoubtedly be much lighter, but at the same time he will face defense from beginning to end.
While Yang Mo was constantly training his breakthrough skills and thinking about his attack methods, Madison Square Garden began to slowly open the stadium to fans. Tonight was slightly different from usual. Knicks fans began to take the lead for the first time. Perhaps the Knicks' record this year shocked them and gave them some hope. After all, they used to come to the home court to watch other teams win. Last season, Madison Square Garden had no more than ten fireworks. It is conceivable how bad the Knicks were last season.
As fans and followers entered the stadium, some important figures began to slowly enter the front row of the VIP seats. Some financial group bosses and celebrities sat in the front one by one. The game was also a matter of maintaining their exposure. After all, since the Knicks got Yang Mo, they have never let the Yankees steal the limelight, even though the Yankees have a better record.
When Spike Lee entered the court, he walked up to Yang Mo, patted his butt, and said excitedly, "Man, I'm very optimistic about you. I'll support you to the end. Even if the whole world is against you, I will still support you. You will lead our Knicks to win the championship. I trust you immensely."
Spike Lee represents the position of the Knicks' senior die-hard fans in a sense. Although no one in the New York media has a good word to say about Yang Mo, the data and records do not lie. Yang Mo is the first player in New York in the past decade to rank in the top three in scoring per game, and his rebounding also firmly occupies the second place, which is based on his average of only 18.8 shots per game.
If he focuses more on scoring, he may surpass Kobe, Carmelo, LeBron and Durant. You know, last season, his boss Dwyane was firmly behind him. He is only a sophomore, and his progress is faster than the Rockets. In this case, why not support him?
Veteran fans are undoubtedly rational. They have their own thinking ability and know what are good players and what are bad players. Those public opinions cannot affect them at all.
After Spike Lee greeted Yang Mo, Yang Mo heard a familiar voice again: "Dear, I brought my sisters to cheer you up tonight."
Yang Mo looked back and saw Christine and two tall women waving at her. The two girls next to her looked familiar to Yang Mo, but she couldn't remember their names at the moment, so she just waved to them to show her politeness.
Yang Mo waved her hand, and the girl standing on Christine's right blew a kiss at Yang Mo with a seductive look.
As soon as she made this teasing move, before Yang Mo responded, the fans sitting behind her started to curse: "Bitch, stop seducing our ace player. You should go date the second baseman of the Yankees! Slut!"
As soon as this fan started cursing, many other fans joined in. It seems that this girl does not have a very good reputation in New York.
At this moment, Yang Mo suddenly recognized her, Paris Hilton.
I immediately understood why the fans scolded her like that. This wealthy heiress is famous for her chaotic private life. Last week, when Yang Mo was on a plane, she saw a report about her saying that another sex tape of her had been circulated.
So, Yang Mo quickly turned away and stopped communicating with her. Yang Mo didn't like to have anything to do with this kind of girl who could be fucked by anyone. Not only would it dirty his dick, but it would also ruin his reputation.
When Christine and the other two saw that Yang Mo was no longer communicating with them, they quickly found a place to sit down.
After a while, Yang Mo heard a familiar voice again: "Hey, Super Yang! I'm here to cheer you on again!"
When Yang Mo heard this, she turned around and saw that it was Emma Watson.
When Watson appeared on the sidelines, Yang Mo's fans and Knicks fans in the front row immediately cheered, and it was a protest in nature, clearly telling Hilton: You bitch are not worthy of our Super Yang, this person can get our blessing, her image is more suitable to be Mrs. Super Yang.
Compared to a slut like Paris Hilton, Emma Watson is undoubtedly an angel. She is the representative of a good girl. Although she is a child star, she has never had any negative news. Unlike Paris Hilton, all American men have seen her dirty genitals.
"Thank you." Yang Mo also waved to her with a smile on her face: "I will definitely give you the victory."
Yang Mo's words immediately made Emma Watson smile. The last time they dated, they were secretly photographed by reporters, but it did not affect her mood. She did not even explain anything, although as a girl, she should explain more, after all, this is about the reputation of a female star. And what her non-explanation means is self-evident.
After a brief exchange with Yang Mo, Emma Watson quickly walked over to the Kristen trio and sat down beside them. As soon as she sat down, she felt the hostility coming from the three people next to her, naked hostility.
This made her feel confused. What was wrong? Why did they look at me like this? Did I offend them?
But she soon understood. Could it be that they also like Super Yang? And just now I heard some fans scold Paris. It seems that they regard me as an enemy.
When she thought of this, she immediately sat up straight, as if to say, "Even if you guys come in groups, I'm not afraid of you."
She sat up straight, and the atmosphere was tense. At this time, Spike Lee, who was standing next to Emma Watson, came over and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft: "Emma, we support you to become our Super Yang's girlfriend. The gossip about that girl is too bad."
"Thank you." Emma Watson nodded with a red face, feeling grateful and shy. She was not afraid of the large crowd over there, and now with the support of the fans, she was even less afraid.
Yang Mo was unaware of the tension below, and he was still practicing his offense. Before the game was about to start, he specially found his teammates in the starting lineup and talked about tactical positioning, especially Douglas, after all, he was still a rookie, and he was responsible for the important task of point guard, and the ball was controlled by him, so he had to give some advice.
Soon, the staff cleared the area and all the lights dimmed instantly.
After a while, the DJ on the scene began to shout out the names of the starting lineup with a long accent, starting with Milicic, then Douglas, then Jeffries, David Lee and finally Yang Mo, who made the final appearance.
When the DJ just said the words "from China", Yang Mo's fanatical fans and some Knicks fans started to shout loudly: Super Yang! Super Yang! Super Yang,!
Faced with the thunderous cheers from the whole audience, the DJ finally had to increase the volume of the speaker and shout at the top of his lungs. However, his voice broke as soon as he shouted the word "super". Fortunately, the cheers from the scene covered up everything. Finally, Yang Mo walked to the center of the venue under the guidance of the spotlight and accepted the shouts and cheers from the entire Madison Garden.
Yang Mo looked around and saw that the fans who had been booing him before were gradually joining the cheering. He shrugged his shoulders subconsciously and said in a cocky voice: "I knew that these guys would eventually surrender to me, cheer for me, and enjoy the victory I brought them."
After a while, the game officially began after the national anthem was played.
The opposing Hawks fielded a lineup of Mike Bibby, Jamal Crawford, Joe Johnson, Marvin Williams, and Horford. The Hawks are a complete ragtag lineup, with most of their players around 6'9". This lineup has great mobility and rebounding, but that's about it. They always make it to the playoffs, but are always used as a stepping stone by strong teams.
If it was the Knicks a season ago, they would definitely not be a match for Atlanta, but with Super Yang, it is still uncertain who will win. At least, New York fans are full of confidence in the home team.
Bang!
Milicic passed the ball to Douglas at the beginning of the game. Douglas was nervous because it was his first start or something else, so he passed the ball to Yang Mo before the half court.
Yang Mo took the ball, but did not launch a fast break while the Eagles were still unstable. Instead, he slowed down the tempo and followed Stan Keen's tactics.
When Yang Mo was dribbling the ball slowly towards the front court, Milicic jumped to Yang Mo's side like a big cat in heat, then bent down and leaned close to Yang Mo: "Yang, are you very familiar with Paris Hilton?" As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at Paris Hilton.
Seeing this, Yang Mo immediately knew what he meant, so she deliberately asked, "Why? Do you like her?"
"I paid to watch her video online. I thought she has great skills and a hot body. I want to have sex with her." Milicic licked his tongue and said in an extremely lewd tone.
Hearing this, Yang Mo rolled his eyes and thought of a plan. He said, "I can fulfill your wish and help you arrange a date and place. I can even provide you with condoms. But... you have to get at least 20+10 tonight."
"Twenty plus ten?" Milicic hesitated.
Yang Mo bumped him with her shoulder and said deliberately, "Come on, stop pretending. I know you've been pretending to be dead. Twenty plus ten is not a problem for you, as long as you are willing."
Yang Mo's words were a different kind of provocation. Milicic was indeed provoked when he heard it. He nodded and agreed, "Okay, for the beauty, I'll fight."
Beauty?
Yang Mo's head was blank, and he thought: A woman like Paris Hilton is also considered a beauty? Brother, are you sure you didn't just get out of the cell? A sow is as beautiful as Diao Chan, my God!
After reaching an agreement with Milicic, Yang Mo quickly brought the ball to the three-point line. At this time, Jamal Crawford came up to defend him. With his arms open, he seemed to be in a very defensive posture.
But this guy is basically no different from a defensive loophole. Although he had good stats when he was in New York and could be considered the only ray of hope in a bad team, no one ever praised his defense.
Adhering to the offensive spirit of trampling the opponent to death, Yang Mo launched a mental attack on him before launching the formal attack: "Hey, Jamal, how does it feel to be back in New York?"
Jamal Crawford was somewhat flattered by Yang Mo's sudden concern: Isn't it rumored that this guy is famous for his sharp tongue? Why is he suddenly concerned about me?
When Jamal Crawford was hesitating whether to respond to Yang Mo's kindness, Yang Mo suddenly said, "Okay, I'd better break through from his left side." As he said that, he started quickly and ran to the left.
Jamal Crawford subconsciously thought that Yang Mo's move was a fake move, and his mind was always thinking about something else, so... whoosh! When Yang Mo rushed past him from the left, his expression remained dull.
By the time he came to his senses, Yang Mo had already rushed into the penalty area and made a clean one-handed slam dunk.
Hohoford was caught off guard by the inside line, and he did not expect Yang Mo to dunk. He thought Yang Mo would make a mid-range shot in such a wide space in the mid-range. Therefore, he kept his attention on Milicic, and when he reacted, Yang Mo had already jumped up with the momentum of thunder and slammed the ball into the basket.
The opening was a slam dunk.
There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and at the same time, it was very surprising. How could the dunk be so easy? Jamal Crawford didn't defend at all, and Horford didn't defend either. Were they rigging the ball?
Fans thought Yang Mo's dunk was too incredible, and Yang Mo himself actually thought so. He had planned to shoot a mid-range shot after using a trick to pass Jamal Crawford, but then he thought about how bad his mid-range shot was, so he rushed in to make a foul for the first ball. He went for the foul, but Horford didn't move at all until he finished the dunk, which was equivalent to giving an assist.
To put it another way, the entire Eagles family, young and old, watched Yang Mo walk slowly into their back garden, urinate in their goldfish pond, and then walk away. During the entire process, no one tried to stop him, and no one showed any intention of stopping him.
"Thank you, thank you very much~!"
Therefore, after scoring the goal, Yang Mo immediately thanked Horford and Crawford, and even pretended to take off his hat.
Whether Yang Mo's thanks were sincere or false, they were full of sarcasm and irony in the eyes of these two people. Is this a provocation? Is this taking advantage of others and still being ungrateful? Is this going too far? Yes, of course it is. Yang Mo has always been such a person. He has always been sarcastic to his opponents.
So, back at half court, Jamal Crawford immediately took the basketball from Mike Bibby. He was going to return the favor, he wanted to get his ground back. After all, he was in charge of this territory back then, and although he wasn't considered the boss Chen Haonan, he was still considered a Shan Ji.
Yang Mo didn't care whether this pheasant was a cock|cock or not. If he dared to challenge her in a duel, she would use all her strength to oppress him and stick to him with open arms.
