Chapter 90

When Kevin Garnett stood beside Yang Mo, Yang Mo immediately felt an immense pressure, a kind of indescribable pressure, as if a towering mountain had suddenly appeared before him.

Yang Mo felt the pressure was overwhelming, but the fans on the scene were excited and noisy, shouting KG's name to cheer for Garnett. It was as if they could see Garnett about to dunk over Yang Mo at any moment.

Seeing that the entire arena was cheering for Garnett, leaving Yang Mo looking rather isolated, Christina immediately stood up, waving her arms and shouting loudly, "Yang Mo, come on! Chinese Yang, fighting!"

Compared to the over 20,000 opposing voices in the arena, Christina's cheers undoubtedly seemed lonely and weak.

However, when transmitted through the airwaves to thousands of households, people undoubtedly paid more attention to Christina's cheers, finding them more powerful. After all, she was a female celebrity, and many were gossiping about her eloping with Yang Mo. Her appearance at the game to cheer for Yang Mo indirectly confirmed that there was indeed a relationship between them.

Yang Mo didn't respond much to Christina's cheers, just giving a slight smile. His mind was entirely focused on Kevin Garnett. This was a guy who could be ranked in the top five power forwards in NBA history, and even though he was past his prime, he was still very strong.

Back on the half-court, Kevin Garnett immediately tried to get the ball from Yang Mo. Yang Mo, of course, couldn't let him have it easily, constantly moving in front and applying pressure. However, Garnett's strength wasn't too bad, and his height was there. Yang Mo couldn't use his full strength; the referee would definitely call a foul if he did.

So, in the end, Garnett wasn't particularly troubled in getting the basketball.

When Garnett got the ball, he didn't put it down but kept it raised above his head. At nearly 7'2" (2.16 meters), Garnett towered over Yang Mo, who was less than 6'5" (1.95 meters). Yang Mo could only look up; there was no way he could reach it.

This was Garnett's advantage. He took a quick look around, didn't even need to stretch his legs, and shot directly... swish!

The basketball smoothly entered the hoop, flipping through the net.

Garnett's easy score immediately drew cheers from the audience. Yang Mo had been dominating their big men, rotating through three of them, and now they finally got a chance to vent. "KG, good job!"

"Kid, height is the biggest talent for an inside player, got it?" Garnett said, not forgetting to educate Yang Mo after scoring.

Yang Mo didn't bother to respond, walked to the sideline, quickly passed the ball, and sprinted forward. Garnett closely followed, trash-talking all the while, his steps not lagging behind Yang Mo's at all.

No wonder some analysts once said Garnett could play all five positions; this speed was indeed at the level of a perimeter player.

Upon reaching the front court, Yang Mo immediately stopped outside the three-point line, with Garnett tightly following. He was now fully focused on Yang Mo, ignoring the defensive system. He wanted to dominate Yang Mo on both offense and defense, showing him what a top-tier inside player was like.

Since the Celtics also had good mobility, the Heat couldn't execute a fast break this time and had to settle into a half-court offense.

In this lineup, the only player with a breakthrough ability was Dwyane Wade, and the only play that could work was a pick-and-roll between Yang Mo and Wade.

So, as soon as Wade got the ball, Yang Mo quickly ran over to set a screen for him.

Seeing Yang Mo run over, Wade immediately made a dash. Tony Allen tried to follow, but was instantly blocked by Yang Mo, leaving him to watch Wade dash into the paint.

Blocked by Yang Mo, Tony Allen discreetly elbowed Yang Mo in the abdomen... "Puff!"

Yang Mo instantly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and quickly bent over, clutching his stomach. Tony Allen, acting as if nothing had happened, quickly ran over to defend Wade.

Wade, blocked by Garnett in the paint, quickly passed the ball out. Seeing the ball coming, Yang Mo, ignoring his abdominal pain, quickly stood up, caught the ball, and shot... swish!

The basketball went through the net.

Before the ball went in, Yang Mo clutched his abdomen and crouched down. The pain in his abdomen had already been severe, and the jump shot had stretched it further, making it even more painful.

Seeing Yang Mo crouching and holding his abdomen, Wade quickly ran over to ask, "What's wrong, Yang?"

"Nothing," Yang Mo said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, rubbing his abdomen, and standing up. He gave Tony Allen a cold glance and pointed at him, saying fiercely, "You wait!"

Yang Mo, though handsome, exuded a fierce and ruthless aura when he was angry. Tony Allen, who was already feeling guilty, became even more uncomfortable when Yang Mo pointed at him and threatened him, feeling a chill run down his spine.

After saying this, Yang Mo quickly ran to the front court.

Once Yang Mo left, Tony Allen's fear disappeared, replaced by a sense of humiliation. He felt particularly undignified being scolded by a rookie, so he became angry again and started to hatch a bad plan.

At the same time, Kevin Garnett pulled Tony Allen aside and, with a stern face, whispered, "This kid is my opponent. I only want to teach him a lesson with basketball. I don't want any trouble, and I don't want anything bad to happen."

Being scolded by Kevin Garnett, Tony Allen, who was already feeling humiliated, became even more annoyed.
