Chapter 391: Questioning
It's a bad thing for the Knicks to fall back into the mud, and it's a good thing that 7 box office hits are good. However, when these two things were folded on the same person, they immediately attracted a lot of inexplicable criticism for Yang Mo.
The film circle is okay, after all, the box office is there, Yang Mo is a top-level superstar with box office appeal, and no one has anything to say. But the basketball circle is different, because Yang Mo's dominance in the basketball world is not as strong as in the film industry, basically Yang Mo's current box office appeal in the film industry is already Chapter 397 among the actors, and it is seriously out of Yang Mo's control. He was still able to grit his teeth and put the ball in the basket. But his teammates couldn't help him in the slightest, including Milicic. Milicic has worked harder than before, and his attitude has been much more correct. However, his hands and feet that have been wasted for too long will not give him a long-term and efficient performance. Under the 76ers' targeted defense, although he did not disappear completely, he was not far off.
As for the other players, as much as they want to play well, they are always out of touch and can't find the right rhythm to win.
With five minutes left in the game, Stein replaced Yang Mo. Although he still scored 32 points, his shooting percentage was a bit dismal and he lost the game, which made him unhappy.
After the game, all kinds of criticisms poured in, nothing more than criticism of Yang Mo's selfish style.
Yang Mo did not respond to this, believing that the criticisms were correct. Although he is not selfish, he is indeed selfish in his performance. He simply couldn't get chemistry from the rest of the team's attackers. Basketball is either left to him to solve, or to Larry Hughes and others to finish, and there are very few combo chain offenses. Because the Knicks really don't even have a person who can pass the ball right now.
The team is on its own, and the first thing everyone thinks about with the ball is to attack the basket.
It's as simple as that.
If it's a run-and-gun play, it's called offensive decisiveness. But switching to a half-court offensive system is selfish and chemical-free.
Yang Mo knew where the crux of the team was, but he couldn't correct it, he was really powerless. Because he doesn't know how to pass at all, his passing ability is almost zero.
So on the night of the loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Yang Mo called Isaiah Thomas as soon as possible, asking him to find Stockton within a week, and then let him teach him to pass at all costs.
Isaiah Thomas's heart thumped when he heard the cost of everything, and then he tentatively whispered, "What if he offers ten million dollars?" ”
"It's right." Yang Mo replied very decisively: "Remember, at all costs!" ”
For Yang Mo, $10 million is nothing, and his only pursuit now is to become the king of basketball, or become the god of basketball. Before, he didn't dare to think about Michael Jordan, but now he has put this matter on the agenda.
When fame and fortune women lack nothing, becoming the number one in the world in a certain industry is undoubtedly the best way to dispel ambitions. Otherwise, how lonely life should be like snow!
After Yang Mo called Isaiah Thomas, he deliberately found Stein on the plane to Chicago.
Stein didn't look as nervous as Yang Mo, after all, he had been a basketball coach for most of his life, and failure was not something unacceptable to him.
"Man, we've got to make a change." Yang Mo's first sentence after sitting down was: "If we go on like this, failure will still pursue us." ”
"I know." Stein nodded, he had no surprises.
This made Yang Mo even more surprised, his eyes widened with an expression that you are not joking with me: "You know? ”
"Of course." Stein smiled and said: "We don't have a passer in our team at all, and if we continue like this, we will definitely be followed by failure." ”
"Then let's switch back to running and bombing. This way it will be closer to victory. Yang Mo said a little impatiently, he really couldn't stand the endless defeats, he was used to the fireworks of victory!
"It's a little closer to victory, but it's getting farther and farther away from success!" Stein shook his head and said slowly, "My goal isn't just to bring this team to the playoffs every year, I hope this will be a dynasty team." So, I don't care about a momentary victory or defeat at all, I care more about you. ”
"What do you care about?" Yang Mo frowned, he felt that Stein in front of him was a little funny, what kind of joke was this? Was he talking about some Zen machine?
"Yes. Don't you think you can learn more in the face of adversity? Stein still kept smiling, and said lightly, "You've been going so well, you need some setbacks." I hope to see your all-round offensive skills in the next matches, regardless of what selfishness or not, take out all the weapons in your arsenal and sharpen their skill points to the top. Such... Our defeat has a greater meaning than victory. ”
"So, you mean sacrificing my battle to promote my growth?"
"Of course. You are the most important cornerstone of your dynasty. Stein smiled and said, "Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant have all gone through a long journey of selfishness. This is the reason why they can finally claim the throne. ”
Hearing this, Yang Mo nodded thoughtfully and said, "I probably understand what you mean." ”
"It's good to understand." Stein smiled and narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, Yang Mo suddenly felt that the image of the guy in front of him overlapped with Phil Jackson. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe (this site), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. ),
