Chapter 559: The All-Stars Are Coming
After talking to Yang Mo, Carmelo Anthony came to the training gym early the next morning, stepped up practice, and kept asking Iverson how to integrate the group. Even during breaks, I take out my iPad to watch the highlights.
Anthony's change Yang Mo saw it in his heart, but he didn't say much, because now it was not the Knicks who begged him, but he needed to beg the Knicks.
As for Stoudemire and Michael Beasley seeing that Anthony is so diligent, they can't help but feel a sense of crisis, if Anthony is really integrated into the tactical play, then they will definitely be the ones who will be hit the most.
Seeing that the two of them were also actively training, Yang Mo was a little unexpected, but he didn't expect Anthony to be able to stimulate the internal training emotions. He had previously taken Studemire and Michael Beasley at odds. Due to the continuous increase in external performance, they naturally formed some arrogant feelings, feeling that Lao Tzu was the best in the world, and he was more or less slack in training.
Yang Mo was very worried that they would be turned into waste that could not withstand the blow by this kind of high-flying comfort, but now Anthony's appearance gave them a sense of crisis from the inside, prompting them to work hard.
"It seems that it's good to have a little internal conflict, at least it can stimulate competitors in the same position." Yang Mo was full of smiles, he finally understood why the players of the Bulls team had such a big conflict with the management back then and still won six championships, and the gap between the OK combination is known to the world, but they are still the triple crown champions.
Sure enough, if the internal contradictions are handled well, a good atmosphere of competition will be formed.
Anthony was a talented player by himself, and his talent was no worse than that of any superstar in the league. When he tried to fit in with the Knicks, he quickly reaped good results.
When the next game came, Anthony was still in the starting position, much to the surprise of the fans. Isn't the Knicks civil strife? Didn't Anthony provoke Yang Mo? Why is he still a starter? You must know that Super-Yang has always been a person who must be repaid! Tonight's opponent is San Antonio, and do the Knicks want to repeat the tragedy of that game against Boston?
Those worries pervaded Madison Garden, but it was when Carmelo Anthony's massive body was the first to burst into the Spurs' box. When he received Yang Mo's pass and dunk to score, all his doubts were dispelled.
Carmelo Anthony's running skills are so good? Isn't he just a singles player with the ball?
This question arises in the minds of all the fans. In their opinion, the three super outside linemen of the 03 generation are all masters of singles with the ball, but now Anthony has shown his running skills that he has never shown, although he is a little fat, but his coquettish reverse run is quite gorgeous!
The fans were surprised, and Yang Mo was also a little surprised, waiting for Cameron Anthony to come over. Yang Mo said in great surprise: "Why have you never shown your off-ball running skills before??" ”
"You know, when a player with the ball alone solves all the problems, he doesn't give the ball to somebody else and let himself run and get assists." Carmelo Anthony said this slightly stinky fart.
But. Soon he slapped Yang Mo on the back without a trace: "However, now that the Knicks' ball-handling attackers are more powerful than me, it is easier for me to score points when I run, why not do it?" I'm not a tenacious person. ”
When Yang Mo heard this, he smiled helplessly. He knew what Anthony meant, and he was just trying to find himself a step down to explain the change in his style of play.
"You made the right choice and you made the right choice, and if you can improve your defense, you're going to be the number one small forward in the league today. I can definitely help you get past LeBron James. Yang Mo patted him on the shoulder. Say yes.
"Are you sure?" Anthony was surprised, but more excited, he has been pressed by LeBron for so many years, and now everyone doesn't even regard him as LeBron James's opponent, and now no one in this league wants to win James more than him.
"You can go to the newspaper and see that what I said didn't come true."
Yang Mo smiled slightly, put aside these words, and quickly ran back to defend.
At this time, Anthony was churning in his heart, if he could surpass James, he could do anything. He doesn't want to be blown up by James for the rest of his life, as a man, he has to rebel again.
"Okay, I'll trust you once." Kami Evil Dragon yelled at Yang Mo's back, and then quickly chased after him, trying his best to limit his opponent.
Anthony isn't a guy who doesn't know how to defend at all, he just doesn't want to focus his energy on the defensive end, and what he prefers to do is keep throwing the ball into the basket. Now, as soon as he is active, the defense is actually in shape.
Seeing Anthony so positive, the jaws of those commentators dropped: Does the Knicks look like there is civil unrest? How did Anthony become like this? Isn't he the kind of person who doesn't like to do dirty work the most? He looks like a blue-collar player right now. Did Super-Yang exert some kind of magic on him? How can his defense be so reliable? George Carl will definitely be so angry that he will vomit blood when he sees it, right? He trained for seven years, and Anthony still went his own way, but in less than seven days after arriving at the Knicks, he was reborn.
And the same jaw drop was Stoudemire, who felt like he was about to fall out of favor from Anthony from the very beginning of his active training. When Anthony actually ran down the fast attack, he was even more panicked to the extreme, and now Anthony is so active in defense, his sense of crisis exploded directly: No, I can't let him replace my position in Super-Yang's mind, I can't let him snatch all of Super-Yang's wonderful passes, I also want to get stuck in position, I also want to defend.
Thinking so, he quickly and positively pushed up Tim Duncan.
Duncan couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw that Stoudemire was actually so active in defense: Is this still the same Stoudemire as before? How hard did he defend? You also know that he resisted my next plate, didn't he love jumping and capping the most before?
And with the secret competition between the two forwards, the Knicks' defense has actually been upgraded to a notch.
On the offensive end, the interplay of these two players is even more like a sieve for the defense that the Spurs are proud of. He doesn't even need Yang Mo to sprint, he just needs to pass the ball out. Sometimes, passing the ball becomes a sweet annoyance. Because two people are often able to run out of great positions at the same time, he has no idea what to choose.
"That's real basketball. The Knicks' attack power is too strong now, and the two forwards seem to be two spears. Straight into the heart of the Spurs. This attack pattern is almost impossible to defend because it is very reasonable and efficient. Most importantly. Their biggest offensive ace, Super-Yang, was completely unleashed, and he didn't have to score at all. Collins, the commentator for T-N-T, is full of praise for the Knicks today.
"I didn't expect Anthony to be so strong in running off the ball, and if he played like that from the start, then... He's definitely not going to lag behind James so much, huh? Kenny Smith said in surprise.
"If he had played like that at the beginning, the Knicks wouldn't have even made the playoffs. You know, he's the only player on the Nuggets who can play with the ball, and the rest of the players are pretty much what you would call a running without the ball. And. I've known for a long time that he would run without the ball, and when he and Iverson formed a golden double gun, there was no problem with any fusion, and both of them could average 20 points per game. Barkley assumed a prophetic post. It's as if everything is under control.
Both chose to ignore Barkley's afterthought.
Commentators can ignore it, but the Spurs' coaching staff can't ignore it, because they didn't expect the Knicks' changes at all, so they were caught off guard by the Knicks and couldn't fight back.
The current Knicks are clearly more reasonable than the Spurs. Everyone is on the right path, and the ball is under the control of Yang Mo, selfless and powerful.
The Knicks tried to organize a counterattack in the third quarter, but they still couldn't stop the two forwards. In addition, Yang Mo didn't break out in the second half of the third quarter, and a sprint with the ball directly turned the Spurs on his back, and finally announced that he would replace the main team and surrender.
In the end, the Knicks defeated the Spurs with a score of 128-91. This game showcased the Knicks' ability to attack these days. Among them, Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony each scored 32 points, of which Carmelo Anthony made 13 of 13 shots, setting a record in his life, hitting 100 percent from the field for the first time in a game.
In comparison, Stoudemire, who shot only 60 percent from the field, was much shabby, so he was not convinced, and he practiced his mid-range shooting after the game. He was afraid that because of this, Yang Mo would reduce his passing in the next game.
In this regard, Yang Mo can only say one sentence, you think too much. However, Yang Mo will not break it, he just wants to create this atmosphere and create trouble for them. In a sense, this is called the Imperial Mind Technique. A great king must be good at playing with balance, Qianlong has Ji Xiaolan and Shen under his hands, and Wanli has Donglin Party and Eunuch Party under his hands, playing this kind of balance, letting them fight among themselves, control their own balance, and use them to do things for themselves.
Of course, even if you tell Storider and Anthony about such a high-level thing as the Emperor's Mind Technique, they don't understand it. They're black, and black people's heads are filled with muscles and muscles.
After the game, Vicky spoke highly of the Knicks and Yang Mo: "The Knicks are the strongest teams I have ever seen, including the Lakers and the Bulls. Super-Yang is also the strongest player I've ever seen, and Michael Jordan isn't as good as him. I mean seriously, there are a lot of ways Michael solves the game, and there are more super-yangs. I think Knicks fans should buy their celebratory fireworks in advance, otherwise the price will be more expensive when they win the championship. ”
**Vicky's words instantly pushed Yang Mo to the forefront, such an arbitrary and absolute boast, can he not provoke saliva?
Soon, some people began to compare Yang Mo with Michael Jordan. Similarly, some fans compared the Knicks to the Bulls, who were 72-10 that year.
The contrast is boring and boring in a sense, but there are always people who talk about it.
And this evaluation doesn't seem to be able to talk about a reason, this is originally a matter of Zhang Fei killing Yue Fei, and it has not been directly compared, how can it be compared? It can only be said that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable.
However, this also proves one thing, that is, Yang Mo is already a well-deserved first person in today's league, and he can no longer find an opponent among the active players, so he has to move the god of basketball out to compete with him.
For these disturbances, Yang Mo was too lazy to pay attention, and the game continued.
But the result was simple and repetitive, with the Knicks winning game after game, and no team at all could survive three quarters under the wrath of three wagons. And by this time, the All-Star Game has quietly arrived.
Unlike the previous All-Star Game, this year's All-Star Game was a bit unexpected, that is, five Knicks players occupied the starting line of the Eastern team, although many people said it was unfair, but the votes speak for themselves, who dares to disagree.
Before the All-Star Game, Yang Mo also made his wish list in an interview with reporters: "My task this year is to be the MVP of the All-Star Game, the king of slam dunks, the king of three-point points, and the king of skills." Well, for the rest of you who have participated in these programs, I can only say sorry to you, you should fight for second place. ”
Yang Mo's arrogance has always been full of energy overflowing, and this time it is not surprising. He actually wants to clear the level, is this completely ignoring the opponent? Never before in history have people been so arrogant? He is the one who has never won all the championships. Can Yang Mo make history?
This issue has been discussed in the mouths of countless basketball fans, but it has never been a problem for Yang Mo, he actually predicted it last year, and the reason why he said it again this year is just that he is afraid that the fans will forget. At the same time, I also expressed my sincerity to Lu Xueman: Look, I have predicted it in advance, for you, I have broken the boat.
"I'll be in the dunk contest, Dwyanne will be in the skills challenge, and McMiller will be the strongest contender for the three-point title." LeBron James said-for-tat before the interview: "Our Heat will take away three trophies, that's for sure. ”
"Just listen to James." Before Yang Mo could fire the shot, Stoudemire expressed mockery: "He has never won Super-Yang!" Originally, I was worried that Super-Yang might not be able to finish it, but now that LeBron James has jumped out, there is simply no suspense. ”
