"Didn't you say that only noobs would be sent in the preseason? What the hell is that guy wearing the number zero jersey?”Chen Hao was puzzled.
Turiaf, who was sitting next to him, replied,""You're talking about Gilbert Arenas, right? I heard that he was injured and has just recovered recently. He should be trying to find his match form in the preseason. He won't be playing for too long.”
"Don't be like this. How can you recover in ten minutes?”
Chen Hao definitely had to think of a way to stroke such a top-notch Happy Goat.
"Ah?" Turiaf was puzzled.
Bynum, who was sitting on the other side of Chen Hao, continued,""He's just a sick man who just came out of his injury. I believe Hao can definitely handle it. Moreover, I'll help Hao block and roll and make up for the defense. I won't let that guy be too arrogant.”
"Then I'll have to trouble you. I'll pass the ball to you when the opportunity arises ~" Chen Hao returned the favor.
Bynum looked flattered, and Turiaf, who had also suffered at Chen Hao's hands in the previous two games, suddenly felt a sense of urgency. He immediately said,""I'll also help you block and roll and make up for it. When the time comes, the two of us will cooperate more.”
Not only Bynum and Turiaf, but Green and the others also patted their chests and expressed that they would cooperate with Chen Hao's play.
" Alright, let's work hard together." Chen Hao looked around at his teammates who were surrounding him. He was in a good mood.
He felt like he was the best in the world.
"Work hard together!" Everyone responded loudly.
Hoffman couldn't help but look at Chen Hao in surprise. He felt that the team seemed to have become a little strange. He was the coach, so why did he feel like his job had been snatched away?
And since when did Chen Hao become so popular that everyone was trying to curry favor with him?
Not knowing what Hoffman was thinking, Chen Hao smiled and nodded at his teammates. He could not help but sigh."Is my charisma really that infectious? After just two matches, I've already won over all my teammates. Sigh, my damn gentleness ~"
In fact, Chen Hao liked to defend and assist more than he scored. In addition, he controlled the ball on the court, and Hoffman took care of him and promised to start in the preseason. He had a very close relationship with the team's boss, Kobe. Bynum and the others, who knew these factors, had no choice but to please him even if they had any ideas.
This was a f * cking big shot!
Without thinking too much about it, the game started very quickly. Because it was the Wizards 'home game, Chen Hao and the others were booed as soon as they got on the court. This was something that they had to experience when they entered the NBA. It was unavoidable.
As a transmigrator, he had already accepted the supernatural thing of transmigration. He pretended not to hear the boos.
"Pa ~"
With a crisp sound, Bynum beat his opponent again. The three-game winning streak in the preseason gave the Los Angeles Clippers a chance to attack first.
After getting the basketball, Chen Hao was closely marked by Arenas just after half the court.
"Newbie, welcome to the NBA~"
"Thank you for your encouragement ~" Chen Hao thanked him.
However, Arenas was a little dumbfounded. F * ck, I'm not welcoming you. I'm talking trash.
However, just as he was about to curse again, Chen Hao suddenly moved. As he turned around, he secretly flipped his wrist. The basketball flew past Arenas's crotch, and he also relied on his turn to brush past Arenas 'side. He took the opportunity to raise his hand to catch the rebound basketball.
The ball passed!
They didn't expect Chen Hao to be able to complete such a difficult move in one go. The stadium was filled with exclamations.
Arenas felt extremely humiliated. He was actually being shown off by a rookie. He could tolerate it, but he couldn't. He was furious!
Compared to his superb offensive ability, Arenas 'defensive ability had always been criticized by people. However, most people criticized his defensive attitude, not his defensive ability. The meaning was very obvious. It was not that this guy did not have defensive ability, but he was too lazy to defend.
But this time, Arenas decided to defend seriously.
Using his powerful explosive power, he quickly caught up. Just as he was about to close in, he felt as if he had hit a mountain. His movements paused, and Bynum made a timely pick-and-roll move to block Arenas.
With a height of 2.13 meters, Chen Hao firmly blocked Arenas, who was only 1.9 meters tall, outside the three-point line. Chen Hao was able to rush into the three-point line and enter the penalty area in a flash. His top-notch ball control ability was completely revealed at this moment.
Like a slippery loach, the defender could see and get close, but he could not touch the ball.
"How arrogant!" Arenas was in a bad mood.
He had even made up his mind to teach Chen Hao a lesson on the defensive end. However, as soon as he got close, he felt a blur in front of his eyes. A basketball flew directly over his head. Before he could react, Bynum's tall figure appeared behind him. He grabbed the basketball in the air with both hands and pressed the ball into the basket through Arenas!
"Boom ~!"
At this moment, Arenas was dumbfounded.
He was cut off just like that?
First, he was showcased by Chen Hao, a rookie, and then he was blocked by Bynum, a big bastard who was also a rookie. Arenas was very sad and angry.
"Beautifully buttoned ~"
"You spread it even more beautifully ~"
Chen Hao and Bynum gave each other a high five. They took what they wanted and boasted to each other. Turiaf, who was a few steps away, looked at them with envy." I'm your dog too. Don't be biased. I was just two steps late. Otherwise, he would have been the one who blocked and rolled for Chen Hao. He would have been the one in the limelight."
Thinking of this, Turiaf, who wanted to get more opportunities to play in the new season, was full of determination. He must go all out to cooperate with Chen Hao.
Changing offense and defense, the Wizards attack ~
As the absolute core of the court, Arenas received the basketball. He stared at Chen Hao with a pair of murderous eyes, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.
If it was when he had just transmigrated, Chen Hao would have felt a little guilty. But now, after training with Kobe for so long, he was used to the pressure of a top star player. His defensive position was very tight, and his expression was extremely calm.
This surprised Arenas. He put away the last trace of contempt in his heart and began to look at his opponent.
"Bang!"
After dribbling the ball a few times, Arenas directly broke through. The first step was extremely fast, directly establishing the distance between two bodies. This was his biggest weapon. It was often this step that could establish enough advantage, or even directly shake off the defenders.
However, Chen Hao was not shaken off. He followed closely behind, using his own arm span to exert defensive pressure, and was ready to stop Arenas at any time.
"Is this guy really just a rookie?”
As a talented player who could grow from a second-round rookie to a top scorer in the league, Arenas had already spent four seasons in the league. Now, he was about to start his fifth season, but this was the first time he had encountered a rookie with such a strong defense.
In comparison, even those well-known defensive experts were probably only at Chen Hao's level.
The key point was that during the pre-match analysis, Chen Hao seemed to be a rookie free agent who had never played a game in the league before.
However, he had such a strong defensive ability. It was really shocking.
However, he was Arenas, who was known as a scoring machine. Although Chen Hao's defensive ability was very strong, he still had the confidence to win.
Like a bolt of lightning, he stepped into the free-throw line, stopped, retreated, and jumped up. All his movements were done in one go.
Even though Chen Hao had been on guard against Arenas's style of play, the difference in physical fitness was completely made up for by technique. He could only try his best to raise his palm to cover Arenas 'eyes. He could not block or steal directly.
Battier had never used this kind of defense in a formal setting in this era. Chen Hao was the first to use it, and Arenas must have encountered it for the first time. The wide palm directly blocked his line of sight, and he could only rely on his hand to throw the ball.
However, Arenas, who had just recovered from his injury and had not undergone high-intensity training for more than two months, was not in a particularly good state. The basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced out. Turiaf domineeringly kept it in his arms. After it landed, he hurriedly passed it to Chen Hao.
It was as if the ball in his hand was not a basketball but a hot potato.
This made Bynum a little jealous. I'm Chen Hao's most capable dog!
Chen Hao's speed was good for the fast attack of the Los Angeles Clippers, but that depended on who he was up against. The angry Arenas quickly caught up and spared no effort in defending. The Wizards coaches on the sidelines were surprised.
It turned out that this guy's defensive ability was quite good. He had not shown it at all in the previous four seasons. He was indeed lazy!
During the entanglement, Chen Hao controlled the basketball steadily and did not give Arenas a chance to steal it. He secretly observed his surroundings. After entering the three-point line, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. After dribbling the ball a few times, he passed the ball behind him without warning to Turiaf, who was desperately chasing after him.
After the latter got the ball, he was like a tank moving at full speed, rushing straight into the Wizards 'penalty area. Arenas, who was originally prepared to defend, suddenly lost the thought of defending. This was not defense, it was suicide.
"Boom ~"
Turiaf was very excited as he scored with a two-handed slam dunk. He turned around and high-fived Chen Hao, boasting to each other.
He didn't seem to care about Arenas 'gloomy face.
The morale of the team was high!
Hoffman, who was acting as the coach on the sidelines, nodded secretly, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed. He thought excitedly,"
" We've really earned a lot this time. It's not just a flash in the pan. Chen Hao's strength is beyond doubt. Not only is his defensive ability excellent, but his passing organization and interception ability are also worthy of recognition. He picked up a treasure and perfectly made up for the team's shortcomings in the new season."
The team would have a terrifying defensive line formed by Kobe and Chen Hao in the new season. In addition to Odom's high position advantage, the team's competitiveness would definitely be several levels higher than the previous season. The future was promising!
The game was still going on. As always, Chen Hao focused his energy on defense, but he never managed to tackle Arenas. Instead, he sent out multiple fouls on this guy.
There was no other way. Arenas 'ball control ability was too strong, and his athletic ability was also at the top level. It was definitely impossible to completely limit him just by relying on technique.
Fortunately, Arenas had just recovered from his injury, so his condition was not particularly good. In addition, he had encountered a cover-up defense for the first time, so he could not adapt in a short period of time. His shooting rate was not too high.
The ball was concentrated in his hands, causing the Wizards to fall behind.
In the end, the Clippers stole a victory from the Wizards at home with a score of 95:88.
After the match, Arenas took the initiative to step forward, ignoring Bynum and Turiaf, who were standing beside Chen Hao like bodyguards, and said seriously,"
"Newbie, tell me your name ~"
"Chen Hao, a ** man ~" Chen Hao smiled.
But in Arenas 'eyes, it made him extremely irritated. He forcefully suppressed the displeasure in his heart and replied with a serious gaze,"
" Hao, I'll remember you. The next time we meet, I'll break your defense."
"I don't think you can do it. Today, your shooting percentage didn't even reach 40%, which means that my defense was very successful.”
Anyway, he didn't know when they would fight again, so Chen Hao didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
"Humph ~"
With a cold snort, Arenas turned around and walked away.
Chen Hao shifted his gaze away from his back and didn't think too much about it. He turned to Bynum and asked,""Who are we playing in the next match?"
"Genius ~"
"Huh?"
