Violent striker

Lu Xueman went there all night and did ideological work all night, Yang Mo had no chance to take advantage of it.When he woke up the next morning, Lu Xueman had already gone back to the original place to talk about work.There is no way, a good opportunity can only be wasted.

When he woke up the next day, Yang Mo went to look for Karl Malone. He had to learn how to shoot from the mid-range, otherwise his offensive firepower would still not be able to cover the entire half court. , after all, there is an extra safe area.

Karl Malone's teaching is not as mysterious as Stockton's. As soon as he came up, he taught Yang Mo how to exert strength and how to shoot, and personally taught Yang Mo how to master the tricks of strength.But for three days in a row, Yang Mo couldn't find the right shooting point, although in the process, his touch became better and better, and his mid-range shooting percentage also increased a little.But these improvements are still not enough for Yang Mo to use it as a conventional weapon.

Until the fourth day, Yang Mo suddenly remembered the shooting method of an old Celtics player, Rasheed Wallace. This guy always throws the ball with a straight arm and hits The rate is quite high.How about trying the same?

As he said that, Yang Mo forcibly corrected his mid-range shots, resolutely preventing his shooting arm from bending, so as to improve his control over strength.With such a straight arm, his shooting percentage has really risen. Although it has not reached a very high level, it can basically be used as a conventional weapon.Although the threat is not great, but in the case of lax defense.The hit rate is still relatively good.

While Yang Mo was constantly improving his mid-distance level, the match between the Celtics and Atlanta was also going on, and the battle between them was very intense.Atlanta showed their tenacity, and they didn't let the Bostonians knock them down so easily.This is undoubtedly a good thing for the Knicks. If they can play more tired, then the Knicks who have a good time will get more

Finally, after the Knicks rested for a week, the game between the Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks was finally decided.The Celtics defeated the Eagles 4:3 with difficulty. This was the first tiebreaker in the Eastern region of the playoffs. In the end, the experienced Celtics won.

This fierce battle was extremely exhausting for both sides.Therefore, some comments even pointed out that the Knicks will win the first game with surprise soldiers.After all, their physical strength is far better than the Celtics.

for this analysis.Boston's point guard Rajon Rondo looked very dismissive: "The team with only seven people is obviously impossible to bring the Celtics the slightest threat. The most difficult battle is over, and then we will Use four games to relieve our physical fatigue, and then fight to the death with the Cavaliers, and finally get the championship ring!"

Rajon Rondo was full of relentlessness towards the Knicks in his speech. In his opinion, the Knicks are just a bunch of stragglers, like chickens and dogs, completely worthless.

Contemptuous disregard for Rajon Rondo.Their head coach, Doc Rivers, is much more cautious: "There is no weak team in the nba. It is a strong team that can enter the playoffs. It is the strong team that can easily defeat the Magic. We defeated Atlanta, the seventh place in the Eastern Conference, spent seven games and exhausted all of our energy. Obviously, the Knicks have an advantage. And even if their personnel is not complete, super-yang will definitely come up with a perfect countermeasure. "

"This will be a difficult matchup. Super-yang is a tough bone. We don't need to look at them from a conventional perspective." The Celtics' main power forward Kevin Garnett also said the same.

The Celtics showed the most respect to the Knicks, and Yang Mo also spoke highly of it: "The Celtics are very strong, and I will do everything possible to defeat them."

Yang Mo has almost never praised a team so much, let alone admitted that any team is strong, but the Celtics have become the only exception.

Before the game, they could be regarded as brothers and friends, harmonious and loving.But when they arrived at the North Shore Garden Arena, the tense atmosphere instantly splattered.Everyone wants to win, everyone comes to win, and no one wants to leave empty-handed.

In the locker room before the game, Yang Mo finally called his teammates together. He wanted to hold a small meeting. He felt that he should chat with the big guys at this time.His opening remarks are very direct and straightforward: "I know that everyone is very satisfied with the status quo and thinks that we have exceeded the mission of the team and even exceeded the expectations of the fans."

Yang Mo's words almost hit everyone's heart. They were really reluctant to continue the fight, because they knew that they would never be able to defeat the Celtics, and they would definitely not be able to take food from the tiger's mouth. .

"But, are we really not going to fight anymore?" Yang Mo's slow and heavy voice continued to sound: "Did we really not need this thing of dreams? What if it will come true?"

Yang Mo's words seemed to be knocking on the door of their hearts gently. Although they didn't turn away their thoughts all at once, they finally made a different voice in their hearts.

"Actually, I wouldn't blame you if you play four games perfunctorily and then go home to fish. After all, not everyone values ​​victory that much. But, you are sure not to take it for a glimmer of hope. Are you brave? Compared with defeating a powerful opponent, what we should overcome is our heart, isn't it?"

Yang Mo finished speaking slowly, turned around, and continued, "A man who can overcome fear and cowardice is a real man. I hope to get an answer from you with actions."

After saying this, Yang Mo turned around and walked outside the locker room.

Soon, the game of the night had arrived, and more than 2 fans frantically poured into the North Shore Garden Arena. They were uniformly dressed in green clothes, and in an instant, the entire stadium was embellished with spring.Green usually means peace and hope, but tonight.For the Knicks, they are undoubtedly war and destruction.For them, their task is to build a devil away.Let the away players flee without a fight.

One minute before the start of the game, Yang Mo finally determined the starting lineup: Anthony Randolph, Gary Nani, Larry Hughes, Tony Allen and himself.This is a lineup that is lean and has no size and no inside.Judging from this lineup, all they can do is run and gun, but.But Yang Mo told his teammates before going on the court: We are going to attack in position.And it is repeatedly emphasized that the speed should be slowed down.

His teammates didn't understand what Yang Mo wanted to do. Such a lineup didn't play fast break, but went to attack in position. Isn't this death?

Yang Mo did know that this was sending him to death.But he had to do this, he had to die and survive.

drop!When the referee blew his whistle, Anthony Randolph and Perkins took off on both sides of the center line at the same time. In the end, Anthony Randolph relied on his physical fitness and spiritual desire to succeed to win the first kick-off for the Knicks.He slapped the basketball into Yang Mo's hands.

Yang Mo received the ball.He immediately praised Anthony Randolph: "Good job, Randolph. It's time to prove to the world how amazing the talent in your body is, and start your legendary journey!"

Yang Mo's praise was like a poetic chant, but at the same time, it was full of sincerity, which made Anthony Randolph couldn't help feeling excited when he heard it, yes, it's time to prove my talent to the world.If you can win 20+10 on the Celtics, the whole world will be stunned?Should old Nelson, who traded me from Golden State, regret it too?

Anthony Randolph thought so angrily.When he thought of this, his fighting spirit involuntarily burned up.

After Yang Mo controlled the basketball.Immediately dribbled the ball to the frontcourt unhurriedly, and his teammates also followed his instructions to settle down unhurriedly.Yang Mo took the ball to the outside of the three-point line and quickly stopped. At this time, Rajon Rondo quickly defended himself.As soon as his terrifying long arms spread out, they immediately blocked Yang Mo's theoretical way out.

I have to say that Rondo's arms and palms are long enough.However, this was still not enough for him to guard against Yang Mo.

"It was you who said that you would easily sweep us away, right?" Before breaking through his defense, Yang Mo did not forget to ask him with a relaxed tone, turning his head sideways.

Facing Yang Mo's question, Rajon Rondo repeated with great disdain: "Yes, I said it. Do you think you guys can threaten our victory? I dared to say it before, but now I Dare to say, we will easily sweep you away."

"very good!"

Yang Mo nodded with a smile.Immediately, he backed up slightly, and then sprinted forward extremely quickly, breaking away from Rajon Rondo's defense almost instantly. Even though Yang Mo's movements were simple and clear, he still couldn't do it. no effective defense.Yes, he knew exactly where Yang Mo was going to break through, and he couldn't stop him.

For Rajon Rondo, this is undoubtedly a shameful defensive failure.

After Yang Mo easily broke through his defense, he didn't stop for half a point, and sprinted directly to the penalty area.Yang Mo castrated fiercely. Garnett wanted to stop him in the middle, but he couldn't keep up, so he had to let him cut directly into the hinterland of the penalty area.At this time, only Perkins was left in the Celtics' restricted area.

Seeing Yang Mo's menacing approach, Perkins subconsciously remembered the scene of being kicked away by Yang Mo before, and quickly backed away.But as soon as he retreated, Yang Mo had already stuck to his body, and twisted his body to throw the ball in an awkward posture that couldn't be more awkward... Shua!drop!

The ball goes into the whistle!

The referee ran over to announce that Yang Mo's goal was valid and added a penalty. Perkins got a defensive foul.

For this penalty, Perkins looked aggrieved, but he could only bear it. Yang Mo did have physical contact with him. Although he tried his best to avoid it, he still couldn't dodge it.

Swish!

Yang Mo walked to the free throw line and threw the basketball in with ease.For him, it was as simple as eating and drinking.

For this foul, Doc Rivers on the sidelines seems to have guessed something: Could it be?Could it be?This guy is trying to get all the Celtics inside by drawing fouls?

Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head in denial.He thought the idea was too difficult to implement.After all, the depth of the Celtics' inside line cannot be cleared up by fouls. One person has six chances of fouling.And the Celtics bench has six insiders, how to play?Do you want to make 36 fouls?How can this be!

While Doc Rivers thought it impossible, his team also encountered a defense he thought impossible.All the players of the Knicks were firmly attached to the Celtics team. When Rajon Rondo dribbled the ball across the half, he did not find any open teammates.Every Knicks player is stalking the Celtics like an octopus.

In Rivers' view, this is simply impossible.He's confident in his players, he's confident in his tactics, and he doesn't think the Knicks' defense will be a problem limiting his offense at all.But it all happened.And it really happened right in front of my eyes.

In the end, Rajon Rondo took the jumper... Boom!His shots hit the iron, and the basketball bounced high.Garnett tried to get rid of Gallinani and rushed into the penalty area to grab an offensive rebound, but Yang Mo on the other side quickly grabbed ahead of him, and jumped high to easily take off the rebound.

In this regard, Garnett can only sigh.If only he was a few years younger.This rebound definitely has nothing to do with Yang Mo, but it's a pity that he is no longer the young self, but Yang Mo is young.

After Yang Mo took off the rebound, he still dribbled the ball through the half court very slowly, and then stayed outside the three-point line. Everything seemed to be a replica of the previous round.It's just that it's no longer Rajon Rondo who defends him this time.It was Paul Pierce.Because Yang Mo was also defending Pierce on the defensive end, Pierce wanted to match up here as well.

Put aside this reason.He also has another reason to protect Rajon Rondo.He was sure that Erajan Rondo's personality would definitely be more irritating than Yang Mo's. He had personally seen Yang Mo's provocation skills, so he knew how powerful it was.

When the defender turned into a tall and strong Pierce, Yang Mo did not change his offensive strategy in any way.He just took a quick tentative step forward, tricked Paul Pierce into subconsciously taking half a step back, and then swept towards the penalty area with lightning speed.

The direction of Yang Mo's breakthrough was still straight, and there was nothing fancy about it.But Pierce still couldn't stop it.Yang Mo's speed, explosive power and strength are too terrifying. As long as he gets a step gap, he can easily squeeze the defender away, and then go deep into the penalty area.

After Yang Mo broke through Pierce's defense, he came to the depths of the penalty area in the blink of an eye. This time, Perkins did not dodge, because Yang Mo's sprint speed was not fast. He felt that if he hit him at such a speed, he would definitely not be hit. fly.So he made up his mind to block Yang Mo.

But?Is Yang Mo really so easy to cover?

I saw that Yang Mo came to Perkins leisurely, deliberately sought physical contact with him, and then suddenly raised the ball, Perkins jumped up subconsciously and opened his arms.When he was tricked into jumping up, Yang Mo's next work became much easier.I saw him jerk upwards, and then stick to him and throw the ball with ease... Shua! Drip!

The basketball hit the net, and at the same time, the referee blew his whistle again, indicating that Perkins was fouled by the thug, and Yang Mo got a free throw.

Swish!

Yang Mo hit another free throw with ease, extending his score by six points and also extending the score advantage to six points.The reason why he scored six points and led by six points is because ... the Celtics haven't scored a point yet.

In just 1 minute, Yang Mo made two fouls.Doc Rivers had to frown even tighter, but he still hadn't made a decision, because he was still not sure that Yang Mo was going to create his inside kill.

Back at halftime, the Knicks players entangled the Celtics players again, except of course Rajon Rondo.Now the Knicks have made it clear that they want to stick to the rest of the players.As for Rondo, who can't shoot, just take a look.

Faced with the Knicks' tactical ignorance, Rajon Rondo finally made a move... Boom!He really didn't live up to it, and the basketball hit the iron again.

And at the moment when the basketball hit the iron, Yang Mo had already thrown off Pierce and rushed into the penalty area, then he jumped high and directly took the basketball off Perkins' head, without giving him a chance to snatch the rebound.

After taking off the rebound, Yang Mo continued to move forward slowly.It's just that when he came to the frontcourt, he didn't stay beyond the three-point line, but suddenly started to speed up, directly used his speed to throw off Pierce's defense, and then cut straight to the penalty area.

Seeing Yang Mo quickly cut into the penalty area, Doc Rivers on the sidelines couldn't help shouting: "Be careful. Perkins, don't foul!"

As soon as he said this, Perkins, who originally wanted to avoid the menacing Yang Mo, stepped back immediately.He quickly stepped aside.But at this moment, Yang Mo flicked his wrist, completely ignoring the open penalty area in front of him, and instead secretly passed the ball to Anthony Randolph.Anthony Randolph understood Yang Mo's intentions when he caught the ball.I saw him take a slight step forward, and then deliberately made a fake move upwards. Perkins quickly pressed forward, and he quickly rubbed against him.Then throw the ball indiscriminately... Drip!

The referee blew his whistle again, and without hesitation gave Perkins his third foul of the game!

Perkins looked aggrieved, and he tried hard to argue.But the referee was unmoved at all. To the referee, there was absolutely no problem with the penalty just now. He could see that Perkins had fouled with both eyes.And violated Anthony Randolph's shooting space.

drop!

When the fans shouted black whistle and made waves of boos.Doc Rivers requested a timeout.In less than 2 minutes, Yang Mo made three fouls, and these three fouls were still charged to the same person.Such a targeted attack, how could he not be vigilant?At this time, a timeout is not called. Do you still have to realize that Perkins was killed by him with six fouls?Doc Rivers doesn't want to be the next Stan Van Gundy, and of course he won't be Stan Van Gundy.Because, Yang Mo would never deal with him the way he dealt with Stan Van Gundy.

"Glenn Davis. After you replace Perkins, you can't foul again. If super-yang rushes into the penalty area. You have to dodge, understand? Also, try not to stick your arms out." Doc River Sis immediately made substitutions and adjustments, and then directly announced: "Although the Knicks can score with only Super-yang alone,... we still have to give up defending him and let him score."

"But, how do we solve Rajon Rondo's problem? The other four of us are very uncomfortable with the Knicks' difficult defense." Ray Allen asked Doc Rivers the first time.

"It's a run, it's an inside screen. You see ... when Kevin Garnett and Glenn Davis pull out, move up, two or three cross-screens, theoretically everybody's going to show up." Open. At that time, you will have space for easy scoring. Although the Knicks players have become extremely active for some reason, what is certain is that their basic defensive skills are not top-notch, especially Anthony Lan Dove and Gallinani, you should look for breakthroughs from them. This is not a problem, I think you can solve it yourself on the court." Doc Rivers did not take Ray Allen's problem as a return He believes that the Knicks are just fighting with enthusiasm. From a technical and tactical perspective, this is not worth mentioning.

The Celtics are actively arranging tactics, and Yang Mo on the other side also said slowly: "Next, we have to run. Now we have seized the opportunity, and we have let the Celtics make passive moves. reaction, then we should take the lead at the tactical level."

"Run?" Anthony Randolph was a little surprised, and he asked back: "Aren't we going to kill all their insiders?"

"No...our purpose is just to make their inside deterrence less. If Perkins goes down, Glenn Davis will definitely come up to replace him. This guy's offense is good, but his defense is much worse. And...he doesn't Good at running." Yang Mo said straightforwardly: "My previous foul was to force Doc Rivers to make this move, and only after he makes this move can we play fast break! In this way , our advantage was maximized.”

"But what if they didn't send Glenn Davis, but someone else?" Anthony Randolph continued to ask.

"Impossible." Yang Mo nodded confidently, and then looked at Tony Allen: "If you don't believe me, you can ask him, Glenn Davis has always been Perkins' first backup, Doc Rivers is not that kind A coach who will easily change his substitution habits."

Tony Allen was extremely surprised by Yang Mo's words. He didn't expect Yang Mo to be so clear about the Celtics' personnel layout. It takes a lot of lies to figure it out, huh?And his calculation of forcing Doc Rivers to change his moves by making fouls to advance the fast break is simply flawless. Is this IQ too abnormal? ?
