Chapter 488: Michael walks in front of him
After scoring two points through free throws, Yang Mo did not hesitate at all, and quickly followed Ryan Anderson's side, he started to defend the whole court from halftime, he didn't care whether Ryan Anderson held the ball or not, anyway, he just wanted to make this guy regret it for life. Who made his mouth stink? Who asked him to shoot a map cannon at all of China? The so-called bad mouth will be smoked, and people have their own harvest, Yang Mo this time, he will do the right thing for heaven and teach this hateful guy who doesn't know the height of the sky.
Although Yang Mo's height is a certain distance from Ryan Anderson, but, in addition, Yang Mo is far ahead of him in any aspect. Therefore, when the two were entangled almost like a scuffle, Anderson naturally complained bitterly. Because Yang Mo's defensive aggression is too strong, if he hits him, he will feel pain in his bones.
Anderson could only give up attacking, but Yang Mo still chased after him reluctantly, constantly creating physical conflicts and constantly bringing him pain. Anderson was in pain, but there was nothing he could do, he couldn't kneel down and beg Yang Mo to stop defending him, right?
However, even if he begged, Yang Mo would not let him go.
In this case, Ryan Anderson almost abandoned his martial arts and was completely reduced to an offensive ornament. And the other Magic players are not much better, they still can't tear apart the Knicks' defense, and the offensive success rate is frighteningly low. On the Knicks' side, under the command of Yang Mo, they scored all kinds of easy goals.
Soon, the third quarter ended. As Nielsen's ultra-long-distance three-point whistle was slapped by Yang Mo to the ninth row of the audience, the score at this time was fixed at 68:73. The Magic lead by five points.
It stands to reason that the team that is ahead should be happy, but now the players of the Magic team are like the rams that have just been castrated. Lethargic and wilting. Since Yang Mo came on the court, they played too aggrieved, and they were still ahead by twenty-one points, but in less than five minutes, they clicked and were beaten by others with a wave of 21:5 small **.
"Coach. We've got to change the way we play, our defense is like a sieve, and the Knicks are sending basketballs into the net in all sorts of easy ways. But there's nothing we can do about it. We have to improve defensively, we have to play aggressively. As soon as Dwight Howard walked to the bench, he complained very directly to Stan Van Gundy.
In the face of the complaints of the core of the team, Van Gundy seemed a little unsure of how to answer. Although he did not admit that his tactics were wrong, the status quo was in front of him. He had to accept this fact.
'We have to step up our inside attack. Everyone on Earth knows that the Knicks are weak on the inside, and if we don't play inside, we will lose all hope of victory. Dwight Howard continued to complain that he felt he had too few shots, and that complaint continued through the regular season into the playoffs. It is not correct to think that he, as the heart of the team, is in third place every game.
Faced with Dwight Howard's stomach full of complaints, Stan Van Gundy gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment. Still raised his head and said firmly: "We still have to maintain offensive firepower, but at the same time, we must also strengthen targeted defense." No matter how powerful Super-Yang is, he is the only one who is powerful. So, Matt, you replace Anderson to contain Super-Yang, Contenny, you also replace Vince Carter, you have to help defend Super-Yang. Rashad, you top up to the power forward position. Next, we must resolutely execute the quick attack and use the speed to break the opponent! ”
Van Gundy's tactic is equivalent to compromising between defense and offense, and arranging the main defense on Yang Mo, he still wants to gamble, he still thinks that offense is more important.
In this regard, Howard could only shake his head helplessly, and then said quite frustratedly: "We should really attack the inside, the Knicks' weakness is the inside." And it's impossible for you to catch Yang Bao, he has the ability to pass the ball now, don't you see that he has just assisted at least four or five times? ”
"Dwight, you should trust your teammates." Stan Van Gundy quickly and harshly stopped Howard's negativity: "We're still ahead and we're definitely going to win at home." As a leader, you should lead by example, not passively. ”
Van Gundy criticized him so harshly, Howard could only keep his mouth shut and then stop talking.
At this time, the atmosphere of the Magic team seemed a little weird. Losing a boss is a nuisance in any team and can seriously affect the morale of the team, especially in times of adversity. And now, while the Magic are still in the lead, they are really on the underdog.
Before Yang Mo arrived, the Magic team definitely didn't expect that this game would be so difficult in the end, but now, they must be mentally prepared for defeat.
"If the Magic have won before, now they are far more likely to lose than they are to win. And what caused all this was just the appearance of Super-Yang. T-N-T commentator Collins said during a pause in the intersection, "Before the playoffs, my perception of this series was that the Magic would win 4-1 or 4-2. However, according to the current situation, the difficulty of the Magic team to advance has at least doubled. ”
"I don't think you think the Knicks are going to win from the beginning." Charles Barkley smiled and said with great confidence: "It's just that I didn't expect that Super-Yang would suddenly turn on his passing talent at this time, and his passing stick was stunned." The Knicks are already worried about not having to worry about starting point guard next year. ”
"Regarding Young's ability to assist, it's not clear if he can actually pass the ball. You have to know that there is a phenomenon of a flash of inspiration in the passing thing. Kenny Smith raised his objections.
"A flash of inspiration?" Barkley smiled contemptuously and said sarcastically in a bitter tone: "You've played point guard all your life, have you ever had such a flash of inspiration?" Can your no-look-pass pass fit through the crotch of two people and land precisely in the hands of teammates in the same line? If you can't, shut up! ”
After Barkley said this, Kenny Smith obediently closed his mouth. He had completely succumbed to this cold violence. Who made him suffer all kinds of insults this year?
In the meantime, the game has continued to begin.
When Milicic fed the ball to Yang Mo, who had just received the ball, Contney Lee and Matt Barnes surrounded him at the same time, and they actively followed Stan Van Gundy's trap policy.
Both of them can be considered defensive giants, and it doesn't feel too good to be stared at by them at the same time. Even if Yang Mo's dribbling has reached the point where he can retract and release freely, he can be entangled by two mad dogs, which is still a little restrained.
Faced with this situation, Yang Mo could only take two steps back slightly. Taking advantage of the gap between the two of them before they could close up, they suddenly exerted their strength, using strong explosive support to gallop out at a cheetah-like speed...... Shout! Yang Mo flashed through the gap between the two in an instant, and then ran wildly towards the front.
Yang Mo broke through the bag clamp in the blink of an eye, and the two hurriedly carried out the bag clamp left and right. They chased all the way like tireless mad dogs, and under their desperate pursuit, Yang Mo, who was dribbling and running, really couldn't completely get rid of the defense. Fortunately, Wilt Chandler had run out of the open space at this time, Yang Mo quickly passed the ball, and with no one to defend it, Wilt Chandler hit an eighteen-foot mid-range shot steadily.
Wilt Chandler's easy scoring did not make Stan Van Gundy understand that there was an empty space in another place, he only saw Yang Mo passive under the crazy defense, and Yang Mo's passivity was regarded by him as the key to victory, so he did not do anything to deal with it.
At this moment, the Magic team launched a frantic offensive offensive, and in less than five seconds, all the Magic team members jumped over the halfway line like sharks competing for the current, and when the Knicks were unable to react, they quickly got absolute vacancy, and Contney Lee drove straight into a beautiful aerial relay with Howard who went down on the other side.
Drip!
Yang Mo asked for a timeout, which was very decisive and timely.
When Yang Mo asked for a timeout, Stan Van Gundy's face was filled with a triumphant smile, and he thought his tactics had succeeded in seizing the lead.
However, Yang Mo was happier than he smiled. When the Magic team ran wildly, Yang Mo's first reaction was that the time to win had finally come.
For Yang Mo, there will be nothing easier to capture than a fast-attacking opponent! He's the progenitor of the Blind-tactics, and he has absolute experience in this field. As long as the opponent is in the same blind-and-mode as he is, then he will easily win the final victory with the advantage of experience.
"Anthony Randolph, Tracy Madty, Gallinani, and Wilt Chandler, you four come with me. There was no tactics, no movement, nothing conventional. You just have to run as fast as you can, and as soon as you get out of position, I'll pass the basketball to you quickly. Yang Mo didn't even take the tactical board, and directly dictated the way of playing: "Next, it's time for the stupid Orlandos to see our crazy chaotic fighting style, they want to play fast attack chaotic warfare with us?" Isn't this a space walk in front of Michael, looking for death? ”
Yang Mo's words made the Knicks players full of confidence, and they also firmly believed that the Magic team was killing themselves if they wanted to play fast-break chaos with themselves, after all, this thing was left over from their play. At the beginning, they relied on this set of tactics to play the position of a dark horse. It was only later that Stein arrived, emphasizing the importance of defensive tactics, and everyone put this style of play on the shelf. Now that the Magic team has an axe, it is naturally necessary for them to let these guys see the most original terrifying firepower.
At this time, Stan Van Gundy obviously did not have this awareness, he was still complacent about the strategy he had come up with, and he had even thought about the speech after the victory.
Drip!
Just then, the whistle blew and the game resumed.
