Chapter 412: The two males meet
Yang Mo came to Madison Garden, and was going to practice shooting to warm up for the evening game. But as soon as I touched the basketball, I found that my hands were extremely sore, which was obviously the sequelae of tennis training, and the stamina came too quickly.
There was no way, Yang Mo had to find a physiotherapist to massage the ice and terminate the pre-game training. Fortunately, tonight's opponent is not very strong, as a 10,000-year-old rotten ship in Los Angeles, this year's they are not better than before, but rotten more thoroughly, last year's rotten champion Lang also announced the season reimbursement early, this year to see this situation is running to the draft green house.
Under the massage of the physiotherapist, Yang Mo slowly fell asleep. When he woke up, it was almost six o'clock, and he didn't know why he slept so hard, but when he woke up, he found that his arm was not so sore. It seems that this sudden sleep still has a restorative effect on the body.
Yang Mo came out of the physiotherapy room and went straight to the competition venue, at this time his teammates were hurrying up to practice together, and Isaiah Thomas on the sidelines was talking and laughing with Carl Malone and Stockton. Yang Mo just wanted to go over to say hello, and found that a large group of people came over to the player tunnel, and the one who was surrounded by him in the center was Tracy Madie dressed casually.
Yang Mo stopped, stepped forward, took the initiative to shake Maddy's hand, and politely said welcome to join the Knicks.
Yang Mo's enthusiasm seemed to be a little bit closed, but Maddie was very hearty, and after shaking hands, she took the initiative to hug Yang Mo, and praised and said loudly: "The moment you blocked LeBron is very much the style of my youth." ”
Forehead...
Yang Mo was slightly stunned when he heard this, he thought about it, and said in his heart, are we two styles at all? You're a flowing style of play, and I'm a berserker.
Surprised, but face still has to be given, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I especially imitated your pull-up jumper when I was in middle school." Now that we're teammates, you're going to have to teach me well. ”
"Haha!" Maddie smiled heartily. This kind of compliment that he likes very much, especially shows his seniority and status. After the laughter, he patted Yang Mo on the shoulder. "I'll remind you." ”
Yang Mo smiled and nodded, and then led him to Isaiah Thomas's side. Walking over there, Thomas, as the general manager, also warmly shook hands with Maddy and expressed his welcome to join.
And at this time. Maddie found out about the existence of the Utah Twins, he felt quite surprised, and hurriedly greeted the seniors of the two seniors, and Yang Mo also took the time to say hello to Carl Malone. Karl Malone patted Yang Mo on the shoulder and said in a particularly approachable manner: "Little guy, I've watched two of your games. Remember your power well. Very strong and I'm sure with my help you will be able to control the box to the next level. ”
"Strength training still has to be postponed, let's get my passing skills done first." Stockton hurriedly said that he didn't want Karl Malone to cut in line, and the disciples should also pay attention to the first come, first come.
"You teach you passing, I teach me positioning. And without delay. Karl Malone retorted with some vindictiveness.
"He doesn't have the energy to practice anything else right now, what if he gets distracted and doesn't have a good passing skill?"
"Then learn the middle distance and card position first, anyway, he has this foundation, it is easier to get started."
"Why? Shall I come first? ”
"I've been wanting to come for a long time......"
Seeing the two fighting like this, Yang Mo was really a little surprised, he had always thought that Utah Shuangsha was a good brother with a monolith, but he didn't expect that there would be a time to fight. Looking at Isaiah Thomas next to him, it seems that this is not an uncommon thing!
Seeing the two seniors arguing like this, Maddie didn't understand a little, he quickly separated the two, and said in a particularly puzzled voice: "Two, two, why did you appear in New York?" It seems to have become Yang's personal trainer, what's going on? ”
"We're not personal trainers, we're mentors." Stockton hastened to correct Maddie's wording.
Karl Malone was also very tacitly cooperative, reacting as quickly as they were on the court: "Yes, we are mentors. ”
"Yes, they are all my mentors." Yang Mo also hurriedly agreed.
"Uh..." Maddie was even more confused when she heard this, and he quickly asked again, "That... How did you come to be Yang's mentor? ”
"Because we're implementing a great plan." Stockton said in a fussiful way, and as Maddie was about to get to the bottom of it, he added, "We can't give you the plan out for the time being." ”
The more he said that, the more curious Maddie became, but he couldn't be stubborn. After all, he is also a superstar, how can he be like a tabloid reporter? So, he endured the gossip in his heart and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, Karl Malone patted Maddy's shoulder and said in a special heartfelt manner: "Tracy, I was very optimistic about you when you were young, I thought you could surpass Kobe Bryant, and even surpass Jordan, and your talent gave me a special surprise." Unfortunately, you were a little too relaxed in training and the spirit of the game didn't last until the last second. That's the only place you lose to Kobe. You see, now Kobe Bryant is still the number one in the league, but you... Ay! ”
Ma Long's sigh and sigh Maddie's heart is not a good feeling, he has always used Kobe as an imaginary enemy in his heart, he can even faintly press one head in the early years, but in the back, with the recurrence of injuries, he withdrew from the situation of the two heroes early. Now, with a knee overhaul, I'm afraid there is no way to return to the top.
"But don't be discouraged, you're coming to the Knicks right now, maybe you're going to reach the second peak of your career." Ma Long said with a little comfort: "You can help Yang and help him grow." With his potential and desire to win, he can surely take you through the spell of the first round of the playoffs. ”
Malone's words were meant to be comforting, but Maddie felt even more uncomfortable when she heard it. Although he has accepted the reality that he is not as good as before, his strong heart has not sunk after all, as a person who has been a privileged player for more than ten years, let him accept to be a second-year student's deputy at once, this gap is too big, where can he fully accept it all of a sudden?
In this case, it is extremely normal to have some pimples in your heart.
At this moment, Stockton, who was next to him, also added: "By the way, Tracy, I think you can be a great help to Yang in passing." I think you are one of the more prominent passing players among the swingers, and Yang is also a swingman now, so you can give the most direct help in this. ”
"Well, of course, I will definitely selflessly promote the juniors." Maddie smiled and nodded.
Then, the five of them talked about some interesting things on the basketball court, mostly Utah Twins and Isaiah Thomas, all of whom were talking about their 80s. When people are old, they always like to remember the eventful years of the past
