Chapter 91

Meanwhile, the TV station was replaying Tony Allen's elbowing move, which was extremely vicious. The Celtics fans watching the replay on the big screen above couldn't help but gasp. If that elbow had been three inches lower, it would have directly attacked Yang Mo's private parts.

Such a dirty move was too dangerous.

No one felt that such a move should appear on a basketball court, including the Celtics fans. Even the home team fans were shocked. After seeing this, Christina was completely stunned and loudly protested, "Ref, penalize that thug and kick him out of the game."

The referee remained unmoved. The referee's calls were time-sensitive; they couldn't stop the game and then go back to penalize Tony Allen, as that would seriously disrupt the game's rhythm. However, they would usually find a balance in the next play, such as calling a foul on Tony Allen for a borderline call.

"Without a doubt, that was a despicable move. However, in this situation, Yang still managed to hit a three-pointer, which surprised me. Steve, as a three-point shooter, what do you think of this shot?" The TNT host asked the commentator Kerr.

"Yang is a good three-point shooter. That shot was purely instinctive," Kerr said indifferently. Although he deeply admired Yang Mo's three-pointer, the events that had occurred earlier prevented him from praising Yang Mo wholeheartedly; it was a matter of principle.

"Hmph. I think Yang's three-point shooting is better than some pure shooters who rely on it for a living. So far tonight, his shooting percentage is 100%, and he has already made three three-pointers," Barkley said with disdain, clearly targeting Kerr.

Seeing this, Collins could only cover the awkwardness by continuing to commentate on the game: "Oh, Kevin scores again, using the same scoring method. Yang is still helpless. The situation now is that KG is dominating over Yang, and there's no way around it; the height difference is just too significant."

Indeed, on the court, Kevin Garnett had once again hit a mid-range shot over Yang Mo. Although Yang Mo continuously compressed his shooting space, forcing him to pass, there was no way around it. Height was a peak that Yang Mo couldn't overcome. Garnett, with his high and powerful shooting, didn't even lower the ball, shooting directly over Yang Mo's head.

"You're a decent rookie, but... I still have to say, your height is not suitable for the inside game," Kevin Garnett said seriously to Yang Mo after scoring, shaking his head. "You are better suited to develop your game from beyond the three-point line. This is a very sincere suggestion."

"Who says so?" Yang Mo smiled and shook his head, confidently saying, "At least under my defense, you can't attack the basket directly. You can only score by shooting. And... I've already found a way to deal with you. Don't believe me? Try again."

Saying this, Yang Mo walked to the sideline to inbound the ball, then ran to Dwyane Wade's side and whispered, "Dwyane, next time when I guard KG, if he shoots, you cover from the weak side and block a few shots. He won't dare to shoot again."

"Okay," Wade nodded; he had thought of this too.

One Yang Mo couldn't handle KG, but with Wade added, it would definitely work. Wade was one of the best shot-blockers among current perimeter players. It would be difficult for him to block Garnett one-on-one, but if Yang Mo used his strength to hold down Garnett's lower body, preventing him from jumping, then blocking would be much easier.

The two confidently ran back to the frontcourt and stopped at the three-point line. They still planned to run a pick-and-roll. This combination had become the Heat's most effective scoring method, breaking through scoring droughts and even reminiscent of the Stockton-Malone duo of old.

Sure enough, when Chalmers brought the ball up, Wade took it from him and used Yang Mo's screen to shake off Tony Allen. Tony Allen tried to hit Yang Mo during the screen, but Yang Mo had anticipated it and quickly moved out of the way; he wouldn't fall into the same trap twice.

Wade broke free of his defender and drove into the paint. Garnett had to switch to help, even though he knew Yang Mo could shoot threes. He shouted, "Switch!" as he followed Wade, leaving Yang Mo to Tony Allen.

Dwyane Wade brought Kevin Garnett to the paint and immediately passed the ball to Yang Mo, who had run to the free-throw line.

Yang Mo caught the ball and immediately jumped to shoot...!

Before he heard the ball swish through the net, Yang Mo found his right foot stepping on someone's foot, causing him to twist his ankle. He quickly pulled back and fell to the floor.

Even with his quick reaction, his right ankle still felt a tearing pain. He clutched his right foot, hissing to try to alleviate the pain.

At that moment, the ball accurately swished through the net.

Beep!

The referee immediately blew the whistle. He had been paying special attention to Tony Allen and saw with his own eyes that it was Tony Allen who extended his leg, causing Yang Mo to step on it and twist his ankle. This was undoubtedly a malicious move.

So, he decisively gave Tony Allen a technical foul.

Tony Allen, despite receiving a technical foul, still put on an innocent face. Dwyane Wade rushed over and pushed him away, shouting, "What the hell are you doing? Playing basketball or fighting?"

Wade was furious, and Paul Pierce quickly held him back. Garnett pulled Tony Allen aside and sternly scolded him, "You really disappoint me. This game is tarnished because of you. Yang is my opponent. No matter what arguments or provocations we have, I would never use such a despicable move to get him out of the game. You must apologize, or you won't be a Celtic anymore!"

While Garnett was scolding Tony Allen, Christina suddenly rushed onto the court, grabbing Tony Allen's shirt and trying to hit him. Garnett quickly pulled her away, saying, "Hey, superstar, don't be impulsive. This is a court. Get off, or the security will remove you."

As Garnett spoke, security ran over, pulling Christina toward the players' tunnel.

At this moment, some applause broke out in the arena, even though these people had been booing Christina earlier. Now, they were suddenly moved. It was truly touching to see a woman rush onto the court to fight for her man! How beautiful!

Christina's impulsive action was broadcast on TV, and many people cheered for her. They didn't find her action rude or disrespectful; instead, they thought it was the right thing to do. This is what love is all about.

Compared to Jessica's public declaration of love on the court, Christina's action of rushing onto the court to fight was undoubtedly more impressive.

Some bored Americans even posted online after the game, using examples to prove that American girlfriends were better than Korean girlfriends. However, what annoyed them was that both were Yang Mo's girlfriends, and both were Chinese girlfriends!

After Christina was led off the court, Yang Mo was also helped up. The team doctor cut the bandage around his ankle, which quickly swelled up, and even ice packs were ineffective.

At this point, the team doctor could only take Yang Mo to the hospital for a check-up.

But just as the team doctor and Chris Quinn were helping Yang Mo off the court, he suddenly turned around, hopping on one foot back to the free-throw line, and said to the referee very seriously, "I still have a free throw to take. I'll leave after I finish it!"

Kevin Garnett, hearing this, clapped enthusiastically. He walked to the sideline, raising his arms to encourage the fans to applaud for Yang Mo. To him, Yang Mo was a respectable opponent, even though Yang Mo had made him very uncomfortable from the start of the game.

The fans in the arena also applauded, and some even shouted, "Yang, good job!"

All the Celtics fans admired tough guys, and their glorious team history was built by one tough guy after another.

And now, Yang Mo was the toughest man on the court!
