Basketball: Versatile shooting guard

Lan Mo couldn't decide by himself, so he called and discussed with his agent carefully.

The Nets requested that in the next three games, if Lan Mo could perform as well as yesterday, they would hand him a guaranteed contract.

Lan Mo passed by a basketball. He picked it up, made a shooting posture, and then threw the ball. The basketball went into the basket firmly and wiped the net.

Lan Mo shook his head and left, but what he didn't know was that his actions had subtly changed into an incomparably standard shooting action.

In the Barclays Center arena.

Tonight will be a game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers.

Although the two superstars Durant and Irving are missing, the fans watching are far less than before, and there is another player among the opponents who once belonged to the Nets and that is James Harden.

In the locker room, the teammates encouraged each other. Because of Lan Mo's performance in the last quarter, this time he became the starter for the first time.

Vaughan encouraged everyone. Although the opponent has two strong players, Harden and Embiid, it does not mean that they are hopeless.

"come on!"

After all, the starting five came onto the field, consisting of Lan Mo, Spencer Dinwiddie, Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson and Nicholas Claxton.

Lan Mo looked at Harden, and Harden also noticed Lan Mo. Both of them regarded each other as opponents. He didn't underestimate Lan Mo because he was an unknown player.

At the start of the jump ball, Embiid touched the basketball first, and the basketball fell into Harden's hands.

He steadily dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, and Lan Mo focused on defense.

He didn't dare to relax, the opponent's dribbling and breakthrough abilities were at the top level, especially the signature step back that swayed many people.

Sure enough, he first faked a breakthrough with a quick crotch dribble, and took a step back to get outside the three-point line the moment Lan Mo caught up.

Even though Lan Mo had realized that he wanted to turn around and return to defense, the opponent's shot was faster.

The three-pointer was scored steadily, and the 76ers took the lead in winning the three-pointer.

When it was the Nets' turn to hold the ball, Lan Mo took the pass from his teammate and began to single Harden.

"He's sharp defensively, and I'm going to take a chance."

Suddenly, Lan Mo saw Clarkston beckoning for the ball, and Lan Mo passed it without hesitation.

The two center forwards in the team collided, and soon there was a fierce spark of friction.

Claxton hit Embiid with his back, but Embiid didn't hesitate to let him get close to the basket.

At this time, a black figure rushed into the bottom corner, and Lan Mo took advantage of the few seconds when Harden was distracted and quickly ran to the bottom corner.

Catch, jump, throw.

First three-point shot of the night.

Bang, crack.

The basketball bounced into the net, Lan Mo didn't let go of his hand, he felt something.

"Me, my hit rate has increased!"

Before training, the hit rate was less than 20.00%, but now he somehow feels that the hand feels good.

[The host's three-point shooting rate has increased to 40%]

Tiannao answered Lan Mo's doubts now, it seems that the training was worthwhile.

Harden also felt unbelievable, lamenting that this Chinese man actually scored under his nose.

But this instead aroused his fighting spirit, and the eyes of both of them were filled with the desire to win.

Then with the 76ers' torrential offense, the score came to 20 to 12.

Fortunately, Lan Mo is not greedy for the ball and knows how to actively cooperate with his teammates to attack.

Bridges made several mid-range shots and Clarkston scored a dunk, and the score began to gradually pull back.

On the commentary stand, Lan Mo's assists and a few three-pointers from time to time also shocked them.

"I haven't seen a basketball player from China in the NBA for a long time. Can the No. 7 of the Nets bring us more surprises now?"

The 76ers noticed that Lan Mo's touch was hot tonight, and took advantage of a foul caused by an opposing player to make free throws.

The 76ers coach quickly replaced several offensive players and replaced the two big men's forwards.

Their eyes were hot, and they seemed to be targeting themselves.

This tactic is indeed very effective. Under the double-teaming of the two, Harden and Embiid joined forces.

The defensive gates Clarkston and Simmons here are difficult to parry.

At this time, the Tiannao in his mind spoke, and it came to warm Lan Mo who was in trouble.

"Drip drip!"

The first quarter is over.

Now the score is 32 to 21, and the Nets are 11 points behind.

The bald black anchor on the commentary desk also jokingly said: "It seems that the Nets are in trouble. After all, the 76ers have Joel Embiid who can score 30 points per game."

Another blond beauty anchor also nodded in agreement, and echoed: "Now that the Nets have lost KD and Kyrie, the probability of competing for the championship this season is not high."

At the beginning of the second quarter, Lan Mo did not play. Coach Vaughn is not a coach who likes to make players work hard. He saw that Lan Mo was exhausted, so he decided not to let him play in this quarter.

"Lan, you've done a good job." Vaughan praised Lan Mo, who was wiping his sweat with a towel.

Lan Mo lowered his head, he didn't want to lose, the management asked him to play brilliantly.

Although he currently scored 10 points and 3 assists in the first quarter, it was not enough.

But at this moment, Tiannao will be his magic weapon for victory, and he wants to reproduce that man's skills in front of the Philadelphia 76ers.

With 3 minutes left in the second quarter, Lan Mo asked the coach to pause and let him play.

"Lan, are you sure? I don't think your physical strength has fully recovered yet." Vaughn asked with concern, but he understood the look in Lan Mo's eyes, which yearned for victory, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

[The host uses reward points to obtain the Iverson Change Pack (limited time)]

That's right, Lan Mo wants to use the skills of Iverson, the son of Philadelphia, to deal with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Thomas replaced, and Lan Mo came on the field. Basically, except for Embiid, they were all substitutes. This is too underestimating the Nets.

The game continued, No. 76 of the 8ers received the ball, quickly broke through and rushed into the three-second zone, but was interfered by Simmons, and the basketball hit the iron and popped out.

Simmons grabbed the rebound and made a long pass to the running Lan Mo.

Emperor Embiid quickly returned to defense and stopped Lan Mo, only to see the corners of Lan Mo's mouth slightly raised, and then used a crossover.

The similarity cannot be said to be 100%, but there is also a 99%.

"what!"

After passing Embiid, Lan Mo scored a layup and scored two points.

The audience was shocked, Lan Mo actually used the famous Allen Iverson's signature move against the 76ers.

Lan Mo struck while the iron was hot, swung a crossover, then turned around, and finally shot a three-pointer at a 45° angle.

At the end of the first half, Lan Mo scored 22 points, and the score was reduced to 58 to 52.
