Chapter 544: Envy of My Arrogance
Yang Mo suppressed his surprise and chased after him, asking, "So... do you want to compete with me in assists next? Or in rebounding?"
Kobe didn't give an answer to this question, and he still stubbornly insisted on his pride. However, Yang Mo poured cold water on his pride.
"There is no doubt that Super Yang defeated Kobe Bryant in the way Kobe Bryant is best at. Super Yang's post-up play is second only to Michael Jordan and can even be compared with Michael Jordan. He constantly controlled his own rhythm and also dominated the defender's rhythm." The TNT commentator did not hesitate to praise Yang Mo. He gave all the praise to Yang Mo.
"Last season I thought Super Yang could not dominate this league, but now... I have been slapped in the face, although I have been slapped in the face by Super Yang countless times. There are only two kinds of players left in the NBA today, one is Super Yang, and the other is players other than Super Yang. He is on a completely different path from other players, and he will transcend to greatness, until eternity." Kenny Smith praised Yang Mo lavishly, directly comparing him to Michael Jordan.
Charles Barkley quickly put out the fire in response to the two men's praise: "Isn't it just two goals? You're making it sound too good. Yang's goal this year is to win a few more games, that's all. Don't flatter him to death."
The other two could only smile at , thinking, "Is this just about winning a few games?" They're definitely aiming for a perfect record. They haven't lost a single game so far, and judging by their current momentum, the Lakers might not be able to stop them.
At the same time, Kobe Bryant on the court had changed his offensive strategy. After a feint, he quickly passed the ball to Pau Gasol. Pau Gasol received the ball and completely shook off Stoudemire's weak defense, then rushed directly into the penalty area... Boom!
Gasol's powerful dunk made the Knicks' basket rattle.
This dunk also made the fans in the stadium excited. Gasol rarely had such a sensational dunk in a year, and now he showed off his muscles at the beginning of the game. Is he really hard?
"I am the number one power forward." After the dunk, Pau Gasol turned around and roared at Stoudemire. He was obviously different today than before, and his expression was even a little hard.
Stoudemire responded immediately: "I'm going to dunk on you so hard you can't even pee. Do you think you can dunk with that much strength?"
He said this with contempt and quickly came to Yang Mo's side. Before he could say anything, Yang Mo understood his intention and just laughed: "Just be ready to run back at any time later. I will let you fly over the basket. As long as you jump high enough, I can even make Bynum surrender under your crotch."
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely run back aggressively." Stoudemire's heart was instantly reassured upon hearing this. He might not have believed others, but he never doubted Yang Mo's words, because Yang Mo always kept his word. He said he wanted to beat someone up, and he would immediately make them stand straight. He himself had once been beaten straight by Yang Mo, but now he was Yang Mo's loyal comrade.
Before Yang Mo even pushed the ball into half court, Stoudemire was already sprinting, and Pau Gasol was naturally in hot pursuit . Stoudemire wasn't in a hurry. He knew Yang Mo's abilities. He believed he could pass the ball anywhere on the court if he chose. He'd once seen Yang Mo throw a bounce pass through the hips of two defenders before it landed in his hands. That night, his dunk was recognized as one of the top five plays.
So, Stadler was not in a hurry at all. He ran calmly, waiting for the pass from Yang Mo.
Stoudemire was not in a hurry, and Yang Mo was even less anxious. He even started to talk to Kobe Bryant next to him: "Kobe, are we going to expand the battlefield to assists now?"
Kobe Bryant did not respond to Yang Mo's provocation, but subconsciously took a step back. He wanted to defend Yang Mo's pass, not Yang Mo's attack.
However, he overlooked one point: Yang Mo's pass was not that easy to defend. Yang Mo suddenly accelerated and instantly jumped half a step over Kobe's defense. By the time Kobe tried to stop him, Yang Mo's other foot had already completely crossed the defense.
This was Yang Mo's brilliance; even his words were a lie. He deliberately let Kobe back off, clearing space so he could move forward. Kobe wasn't being overconfident, but his body simply couldn't keep up with his defensive thinking. He could only watch helplessly as Yang Mo scurried past him, his physique simply too powerful. Yang Mo's physicality was truly explosive; once he got going, he was practically impossible to defend. He was even more difficult to defend than Tracy McGrady in his prime. While McGrady had a long stride and explosive power, Yang Mo combined explosive power with sheer speed.
After Yang Mo broke through Kobe Bryant's defense, he sprinted into the paint. Seeing this, Bynum quickly dodged. As the saying goes, once bitten, a person becomes afraid of the ropes for three years. He had suffered a heavy loss at Yang Mo's hands, and he didn't want to try it again. After all, this was a painful and unbearable memory for him.
Just as Bynum was fleeing in panic, Yang Mo suddenly jumped up, then in mid-air he fiercely slammed the basketball forward and shouted, "Amare, jump!"
Stoudemire didn't understand what was happening, but he still jumped up quickly in a flash. Just when he had no idea why he was jumping, the basketball that Yang Mo had hit the backboard quickly bounced back and flew right towards Stoudemire. Stoudemire reached forward and grabbed the ball. At the same time, he also jumped to the highest point. What happened next was simple...
boom!
Stoudemire used all his strength to slam the ball into the basket. As he dunked the basket with one hand, Andrew Bynum just escaped to his crotch, adding another touch of color to his violent dunk, which was so gorgeous.
Meanwhile, the entire crowd was stunned, holding their breath at this magnificent dunk. Yang Mo had calculated every move from the outset, including Kobe's retreat, Bynum's escape, and even the force and direction of his slam into the backboard. As for Stoudemire, the dunker, he was merely a prop.
Super Yang's IQ is too terrifying, he is simply a god, he can actually calculate every move of the Lakers players, he is too amazing. This goal looks natural, but in fact every step is precisely calculated.
Phil Jackson covered his eyes after Stoudemire scored. This was too brutal for him. Yang Mo had orchestrated and staged a complete destruction of his defense, even achieving a dunk in a humiliating manner.
"Hey, did you see that? This is a slam dunk." After the slam dunk, Stoudemire first showed off his muscles to Bynum, then turned around and shouted to Pau Gasol: "Tell me, who is the number one power forward?"
"This isn't your credit," Pau Gasol said with a hint of disdain, pouting angrily. He was completely convinced by Yang Mo, even bowing down to him, but he wasn't particularly fond of Stoudemire. He believed that if he partnered with Yang Mo, the results would definitely be even better. Because on that play, Yang Mo handled everything; all this guy had to do was jump. He even jumped because Super Yang reminded him to.
This dunk requires only one thing from the dunker: to jump high enough. That's all.
"I can see your jealousy, but you can't understand my arrogance. Hahaha!" Stoudemire laughed arrogantly and strode towards the front court arrogantly.
At the same time, Yang Mo whispered to Kobe Bryant, "Kobe, are you still ready to compete with me in assists?"
