Chapter 69

When Yang Mo appeared, not only did the audience in front of the TV let out a chorus of exclamations, but the fans at Madison Square Garden were also taken aback by Yang Mo's sudden appearance. In their view, shouldn't Yang Mo have eloped with Kristen? Why did he come back to the court?

Amidst the uproar from the fans, Yang Mo walked up to Pat Riley and said, "Sir, I'm ready."

"Get on the court!" Pat Riley didn't waste any words, saying directly, "If we can win this game, I won't punish you."

"Alright." Yang Mo agreed without hesitation.

Beep!

Erik Spoelstra immediately called a timeout. When the Heat players saw Yang Mo return, they subconsciously took a deep breath. They had almost given up on the game because their inside game was completely dominated. Although Jo Anthony tried hard, his talent was just too lacking.

"Yang, where's Kristen?" Wade couldn't help but tease when he saw Yang Mo. The other teammates also wore ambiguous smiles, all eager to know what had happened after the elopement.

"Ah, don't mention it. We spent the night in the middle of nowhere last night, almost got eaten by wolves," Yang Mo said unhappily, a memory that was truly a nightmare for him.

"Wow, that's quite a story!" Dwyane Wade chuckled, then said with a wink, "So, how was Kristen's technique?"

When Wade asked this, Beasley and the others quickly gathered around, their ears perked up, hoping to hear some explosive news from Yang Mo. At least they could brag about it later: "My teammate slept with one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, can you do that?"

Unfortunately, Yang Mo disappointed them: "What technique? It's not worth remembering!"

Yang Mo frowned, as if he couldn't bear to recall it.

Hearing this, the teammates all had a sudden realization: No wonder Yang came back; it must be because Kristen's technique was bad! Bad technique is indeed no fun, even if she's a superstar, she can't replace a good sex life!

Dwyane Wade understood even more. He finally knew why Robert had cheated; it was because Kristen wasn't good in bed.

If Kristen knew what these guys were thinking, she would chase them down three streets: "I'm still a virgin, okay? What do you mean by bad technique? I've been studying adult films from all over the world since I was thirteen, can any of you do that?"

At this moment, Erik Spoelstra walked over and laid out the strategy: "Yang, you'll replace Jo. The rest of the lineup stays the same. I want everyone to take shots when they have the chance. They're playing fast, so we'll play fast too. Our speed isn't worse than theirs, and we have a super outside shooter. Come on, guys, the game isn't over yet, Fighting!!"

Beep!

Soon, the timeout ended, and both teams walked back onto the court.

As soon as Yang Mo stepped onto the court, the Madison Square Garden fans booed him. Although not as intense as in New Jersey, it was still meant to give him a warning, reminding him whose home court this was.

Yang Mo just smiled at this, and even joked to his teammates, "See how scared the New Yorkers are of me? As soon as I step on the court, they're already trembling."

Although it was a joke, it boosted his teammates' morale, temporarily forgetting the score difference.

At this moment, Wade walked up to Yang Mo and whispered, "Let's run more pick-and-rolls. You run to the three-point line more; I have confidence in your three-point shooting."

"Alright." Yang Mo nodded. Compared to the first time when Wade forced a shot after Yang Mo set a screen, Wade now had complete trust in Yang Mo. This change had only taken less than one game.

After receiving the ball from the referee and passing it to Chalmers, Yang Mo quickly ran up the court. David Lee immediately followed him. Today, David Lee's performance against Jo Anthony was on a Wilt Chamberlain level. Rebounding was as easy as withdrawing money from an ATM, and in just three quarters, he had already grabbed fifteen rebounds. This showed how poorly Jo Anthony was playing tonight.

After reaching the front court, Yang Mo stopped near the free-throw line. If it were Jo Anthony, David Lee would have just stayed in the paint, as Jo Anthony couldn't shoot. But Yang Mo was different. From analyzing the previous game's footage, David Lee realized that Yang Mo was a very smooth-shooting player. Leaving him open was like giving him points.

So, he stayed tightly on him.

Despite David Lee sticking to him like glue, Yang Mo wasn't bothered and acted as if it didn't matter.

It wasn't until Dwyane Wade took the ball from Chalmers and faced Crawford's defense at the top of the three-point arc that Yang Mo calmly walked over to set a screen for Wade.

Wade used the screen to quickly drive to the paint, and David Lee rushed to defend. After a couple of steps, Wade suddenly spun and passed the ball to Yang Mo, who was waiting at the three-point line.

Yang Mo caught the ball and shot effortlessly... Crawford tried to block, but it was too late. The ball arced beautifully over his head... swish!

It went in!

As the ball swished through the net, Yang Mo made a gun gesture with his hand, pointing it to the sky, and then pretended to blow on it as if it were smoke.

This action immediately drew a wave of boos from the fans.

Yang Mo just shrugged, indifferent, and then said to David Lee, "Buddy, your good days are over. I'm about to show you what real rebounding art is!"

At that moment, a familiar voice came from the sidelines: "Yang! Go for it!"

Yang Mo turned his head and saw Kristen!

At the same time, the camera caught her excited expression, and the boos from the crowd grew even louder. Fans watching on TV also let out various exclamations.

Could it be that they eloped to Madison Square Garden?
