Chapter 419: Calm and Cunning
Yang Mo turned her head and was stunned when she saw this person. This person was none other than the nightmare-like existence... Lu Xuefei.
"Brother-in-law, you didn't expect me to be here, did you? I actually bought the ticket a long time ago, and I've been sitting behind you for more than half an hour . I just felt that the time was not right yet." Lu Xuefei said mischievously, "Looking at your expression now, you know without a doubt that the surprise I created has achieved its purpose, haha."
Lu Xuefei was filled with a sense of accomplishment for having pulled off a successful prank, but Yang Mo was complaining bitterly. He wanted so much to get rid of this little devil, but he didn't expect that this little devil was like a shadow and could not be cut off at all. Even if you were in the dark, she could accurately pat your shoulder and say to you: surprise!
"Okay, I'm going to play in the game. I'll talk to you later." Yang Mo said perfunctorily and walked quickly to the sidelines. The activities on the field had just ended at this time. Yang Mo stood there for a long time before the whistle for the end of the first half sounded.
Since Yang Mo played early, the coach of the Eastern team had no choice but to send him on the court. Originally, Yang Mo was supposed to play at the last minute, after all, he was a second-year super ace. It was like playing Landlord, you couldn't just throw a bomb right at the start, right?
After the players from both sides were in position, the referee blew the whistle and the game continued.
As soon as Yang Mo returned to the court, he quickly attached himself to Evans, who had been on the bench for almost the same amount of time as him, and looked like he was going to fight him to the death. Unlike when the two had just met, at the beginning of the first half, Evans was full of fighting spirit in defending against Yang Mo. He even thought that he could easily step on Yang Mo to get to the top, but in the end he was beaten to a pulp and had no power to defend himself.
So, in the second half, when he saw Yang Mo walking towards him, his nerves immediately tensed up. Fear blossomed in his heart. Yang Mo had cast a shadow over him, making him dare not think of confronting her. In a sense, Yang Mo conquered him and shattered his self-confidence.
Arrogant people are always more vulnerable than ordinary people, because they need to use this arrogance to disguise themselves and hope to protect themselves. When their arrogant skin is ruthlessly shattered, they will collapse faster than anyone else. Evans is undoubtedly such a person.
There is no doubt that after this battle, his career prospects have been diverted, from the broad road to the narrow road. You can practice your skills and improve your physical fitness, but if you lose your confidence, you will lose everything. If you want to be a star, how can you do it without a strong heart? Unfortunately, Evans' strong heart was completely destroyed by Yang Mo when it was just budding.
Seeing that Evans was avoiding him, Yang Mo shook his head in disappointment. He didn't like an opponent who wouldn't resist, just like no man would like a woman who was like a dead fish.
At halftime, Steve Curry continued his hot three-point shooting, and Chalmers on his opposite side was unable to stop him. In fact, due to the absence of Derrick Rose, OJ Mayo and Eric Gordon, the second-year players only had Chalmers Westbrook and Yang Mo on the perimeter, but there were plenty of people in the interior. On the contrary, the first-year players were all point guards, Jennings, Evans, Curry, Harden... all kinds of styles.
"Mario, let's switch defense!" Yang Mo made a rotation to Qian Moss, and then took the initiative to walk towards Steve Curry: "Hey, kid, how about we compete in three-point shooting?"
Qian Mos used to hang out with Yang Mo, how could he not know Yang Mo's abilities? Now seeing Yang Mo competing with Curry, he was immediately happy and muttered in his heart: You little brat, you dare to shoot a three-pointer over my head, now it's Super Yang's turn to bully you, let's see how he shoots you to pieces.
"Okay." Steve Curry agreed without hesitation. Although he looks pretty, his answer is firm and manly. In comparison, he is much more manly than the big and strong Tyreke Evans.
Yang Mo ran one step outside the three-point line and waved directly, and Qian Mos quickly passed the ball to him. At this time, Yang Mo was one meter away from the three-point line. After receiving the ball, he just took a tentative step forward, tricked Steve Curry's already lax defense and took a step back, then jumped up and shot... Although Steve Curry tried his best to block the shot, his height, wingspan and jumping ability were not as good as Yang Mo's. After losing the initiative, he could only watch the basketball fly over his head... Swish!
The sound of the basketball entering the net reached Steve Curry's ears very quickly. Before he could even get surprised, Yang Mo in front of him had already spread his hands to him and said, "This is how you shoot a three-pointer."
"Your three-point shot is indeed better than mine." Steve Curry didn't say anything stubborn, he simply admitted defeat. Because he knew it was unnecessary. As a three-point shooter with many years of experience, he knew how much hard work and talent it took to reach Yang Mo's level. He could see the gap, and he didn't think it was shameful to lose to Super Yang. Anyway, he had already lost to him enough.
Steve Curry's frankness was beyond Yang Mo's expectations. In his opinion, Curry at least wanted to argue with him. He didn't expect that he would admit defeat before he even used his taunting skills.
While Yang Mo was surprised, Curry had already turned around to receive the ball, and then slowly ran to the frontcourt, neither anxious nor impatient, and as steady as the water in an ancient well without ripples.
This guy is pretty good.
Yang Mo suddenly felt a surge of admiration in his heart. He liked this kind of guy who was not disturbed by external things. Being able to keep his heart on the court was a great talent, even greater than the talent of flying in the sky and dunking. Because a strong physical fitness can only make you play the ball more beautifully, but inner peace can make you play basketball more balanced and reasonable, and always play on the right path. This is too precious for a point guard.
When Yang Mo came to the frontcourt, he just wanted to step forward for close defense, but Steve Curry quickly passed the ball to Blair in the inside, and Blair took the ball and made a direct mid-range shot...swish!
The basketball went into the net and Curry got an assist.
"This guy is quite interesting."
Yang Mo muttered, quickly ran to the half court, came one step outside the three-point line, and continued to reach for the ball. Qian Mos still quickly passed the ball to him. After Yang Mo received the ball, he still took a tentative step. Steve Curry's body shook, but he still relied on self-suppression and did not let his subconscious mind take his body away.
Just as he was standing still and determined not to make the same mistake as before, Yang Mo suddenly started to move forward and took a quick step forward. At this moment, he had to return to defense. But just as he was returning to defense, Yang Mo pulled back and pulled the ball back, then took advantage of the space and jumped up to shoot... swish!
The basketball went into the net again, another three-pointer!
The two consecutive three-pointers made the fans at the scene excited. They originally thought that Yang Mo would be a blue collar for the whole game, but they didn't expect that Yang Mo would throw in two three-pointers in less than a minute in the second half. It seems that he is still unwilling to be lonely!
"Guess how many three-pointers I will throw over your head? Ten, or eight?" Yang Mo provoked with words.
Curry's face changed slightly, and some anger crept up on his face, but he didn't flare up, but endured it. Obviously, his psychological quality was much stronger than Evans's, and he didn't get angry because of a provocation.
At this moment, Conn Stanley suddenly made a bold substitution. After a while, the five players on the court of the freshman team became all short men: James Harden, Brandon Jennings, Steve Curry, Qianny Flynn and the Spurs' power forward Blair.
The tallest inside player, Blair, is only about 1.96 meters tall, while the sophomores are all tall guys, including Hibbert, Brook Lopez, Michael Beasley, Yang Mo and Mario Chalmers.
The height difference was suddenly widened to an extreme.
Just as Yang Mo was feeling a little awkward about the first-year player's sudden strange move, Steve Curry, who had left a calm impression on Yang Mo, suddenly leaned close to Yang Mo's ear and whispered, "Next, I will shoot a three-pointer."
To Yang Mo, this statement was undoubtedly a declaration of war. He immediately responded, "If you throw one in, I'll give you two in return. This is called buy one get one free."
Steve Curry laughed and started running quickly. Yang Mo could only grit his teeth and keep up with him, constantly running through the half court. At this time, the other four members of the first-year team were launching a quick offensive battle. After a while, Yang Mo, who was running, found that the first-year player had thrown the basketball into the net, and the one attacking was Jennings.
Back in the half court , Yang Mo did not attack again, because he knew that the penalty area had the greatest advantage now, so he directed Qian Moss to pass the ball to Lopez in the interior. Lopez arched a few times, turned around and made a hook shot.
Back on the defensive end, Yang Mo was still driven by Curry to run quickly, and soon the freshman team scored again.
The next three rounds were the same, with the sophomores scoring from the inside and the freshmen from the outside. Although Steve Curry ran the entire half court, he never caught the ball once.
Yang Mo actually understood Curry's intention from the beginning. This guy wanted to deliberately provoke him to clamp his defense so that other first-year players could let go. This plan was calm and cunning, but Yang Mo was not stupid, and he quickly responded.
