The next day at 13:00 p. m., it was still an away game against the Washington Wizards.
Chen Hao looked at Arenas, who was glaring at him even before the match started. He did not show any fear. Instead, he stared at Arenas passionately.
After the previous match, Chen Hao habitually checked his gains from that match.
He wouldn't know if he didn't look, but he was really shocked when he saw it!
In the last match, he had actually cleared a total of 130,000 dollars. This was also because his stamina was not particularly outstanding. He had only been on the field for 31 minutes and had already reached the limit of his body. Once his stamina increased and he obtained more playing time, this value would definitely increase by a lot.
This was only the preseason, and the intensity of the game was not particularly high. Chen Hao had already found that his physical fitness was insufficient to cope with the confrontation for too long, especially when his main energy was on the defensive end.
Defending required more energy and stamina than attacking, and the demands on the players 'stamina were also higher.
All the defensive powerhouses in NBA history were physical maniacs.
It would be unrealistic for an ordinary person to improve their physical fitness in a short period of time, but Chen Hao had no problem with it.
He even had his eyes on the related skills.
[S-rank Skill ~ Perpetual motion machine: Greatly increases one's physical strength and recovery ability. Additional effect: When running, physical recovery 20%. Every time the skill level increases, recovery will increase by another 20%!
This skill was undoubtedly the best support for defensive players. Once it was upgraded to the MAX level, the physical recovery rate would increase by 100%. Just like its name, it would become a perpetual motion machine.
Buying this skill required 8 million dollars, but Chen Hao only had 4 million dollars now. There was still some difference.
However, it was not a big problem. There was still nearly half a month before the start of the new season. With the preseason games and Kobe's help, he should be able to gather this amount. Or rather, after the regular season officially began, his efficiency in farming money would increase further.
At that time, it should not take too long for him to save up the money needed to buy this skill.
The goal had been set, and now it was time to work hard.
With Bynum's four-game winning streak in the preseason, the game officially began
The Clippers took the lead in attacking. After spending more than ten seconds outside the three-point line, relying on Turiaf's pick-and-roll, Chen Hao successfully shook off Arenas by a few bodies. Without waiting for him to catch up, he passed the ball to Bynum.
The latter was a slam dunk, giving the team the lead.
In the blink of an eye, Arenas was aggressive and Chen Hao did not show any weakness. The two men fought fiercely outside the three-point line. The intensity was not the state of preseason, which attracted the attention of the fans and audience.
" Who's the number 10 player of the Laker? His defense is pretty good. He can actually block Gilbert for such a long time. If it were any other player, he would have been broken through long ago."
"In the last game, he only managed to defend Gilbert for 19 points. His field goal percentage was less than 40%, which is enough to show his strength. But it's strange, why don't I have any impression of him?"
"Me too. Logically speaking, it's impossible for a player with this kind of strength to not have any fame in the league. The key is that he's also an Asian. The only Asian players in the league have the impression of the Rockets 'Big Yao ~"
"No, no, no. The Mavericks seemed to have an Asian center before, but there was no news after that ~"
"Alright, here comes the question. Who is this guy?”
“......”
Everyone was unfamiliar with Chen Hao. Even the reporters at the scene looked at each other, expressing that they did not know him at all.
However, this did not stop them from focusing on Chen Hao.
The reporters, who had come only for Arenas, smelled the scent of big news at this moment. As the top scorer in the league, Arenas was defeated by an unknown rookie. Just thinking about it was explosive.
Chen Hao didn't have time to care about this. He focused on defense and covered his eyes again and again, making Arenas suffer. However, his shooting rate was higher than yesterday. It could only be said that the adaptability of a top scorer was very terrifying.
Besides, Arenas must have practiced a lot last night.
As always, the Wizards only played Arenas. The team's coach had no intention of changing that. It was just a preseason game anyway. The most important task at hand was to get Arenas to find his competitive state and enter the regular season in a better competitive state.
As for the other fringe players in the team, they were not prepared to pay attention to them at all.
However, the situation on the field made the acting coach of the Wizards frown. Chen Hao had never been fighting alone. As the game continued, not only Bynum and Turiaf, but Green and Weaver also stepped forward from time to time, either to double-team or to make up for defense.
This made Arenas even angrier, and his actions became rough.
Chen Hao didn't back down. He didn't hold back at all. The smell of gunpowder in the competition became stronger.
"Do you dare to fight me one-on-one?”Arenas, who had lost the ball helplessly after being double-teamed again, finally could not hold it in anymore.
As he defended, he muttered.
"A one-on-one fight with a rookie who just joined the Alliance? How dare you say that, Mr. Scoring Machine ~" Chen Hao mocked.
Upon hearing this, Arenas 'face darkened, but he did not say anything else.
Seeing this, Chen Hao had no intention of backing down. They were not in the locker room, so he was not afraid that this guy would suddenly pull out a gun.
He controlled the ball outside the three-point line for more than ten seconds. After he dribbled enough, he would launch an attack and easily break through Arenas 'defense with a pick-and-roll. Chen Hao still had the energy to look at the system message bar.
When he realized that he could earn money by relying on a pick-and-roll breakthrough, he felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.
Since the result was the same, why did he have to tire himself out? Wasn't it good to save energy for defense?
Chen Hao looked at Arenas, who had bypassed Turiaf's pick-and-roll and chased after him, but was blocked by Bynum. After Chen Hao attracted the defense, Chen Hao passed the ball to Green, who was unmarked.
The latter added an assist to Chen Hao.
This was all money. Chen Hao was very satisfied.
The game continued. The loss on the defensive end made Arenas more and more violent on the offensive end, but his mentality was a little anxious. On the other hand, Chen Hao was as calm as ever, using his defensive skills and body to the extreme.
And in places where the referee could not see, there were frequent small movements ~
Almost every small action could be converted into money, which really made Chen Hao full of motivation. He was not tired of his money-making business, and the perpetual motion machine was already waving at him.
However, this kind of behavior made Arenas extremely angry. He directly made an irrational move. After being accidentally intercepted, the angry general directly pushed Chen Hao to the ground with a face full of anger!
"Sinister bastard!"
As soon as he said that, Arenas was pushed away by Turiaf, who rushed over. Bynum, Green, and even Weaver, who was the furthest away, rushed over and surrounded him. It was as if they were ganging up on him.
The referee immediately stood in the middle of the crowd to prevent the situation from getting serious.
Hoffman stood up from his seat the moment Arenas made his move. He was angry when he saw Chen Hao being pushed to the ground by Arenas, but when he realized that the team was so united and did not suffer a loss, and the situation was controlled in time, he nodded in satisfaction and continued to sit down.
He had fully inherited Phil Jackson's style of not changing his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed.
The situation on the field was quickly brought under control. Arenas had undoubtedly fouled. Turiavu had also been called for a foul because he had pushed Arenas. The others were not called for a foul, so they were each given 50 strokes of the cane.
The acting coach of the Wizards, who noticed that Arenas's mentality had exploded, did not hesitate to replace him under the dissatisfied gazes of the reporters in the stadium, as if he would not let him play again.
Seeing that he had been replaced, Arenas became more and more dissatisfied. After glaring at Chen Hao, he walked straight to the aisle. He had no intention of staying on the field at all, which made people speechless.
"This guy's mental endurance is too weak. I've been messing with him for an entire month and he hasn't exploded yet. This is the difference ~"
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Hao grabbed Bynum's outstretched hand and stood up. Facing the crazy boos from the Wizards fans, he continued to play.
Looking at Chen Hao's indifferent and peaceful appearance, Hoffman expressed his admiration. This was a player with a big heart!
Without Arenas, the Wizards could be said to be no threat. Chen Hao became the most beautiful player on the field, defending against his opponents until they wanted to cry.
However, he received special treatment from the Wizards players. Fortunately, he was not the type of player who liked to attack the paint. The tricks that the other side could play were very limited, let alone getting him off the field.
Without Arenas, who was childish and cheerful, Chen Hao could only choose those who were more ordinary. The efficiency dropped a lot, and he could only make up for it with quantity.
Seeing Chen Hao almost exhaust his offensive time to launch an attack again and again, and every time he used his strong defense to steal or force his opponent to make mistakes, Hoffman, who was sitting on the sidelines, could not help but sigh.
"The defensive side is as strong as ever. Even in the regular season or even the playoffs, Chen Hao can give the team a lot of help. But on the offensive side, the opponent's strength is only average, and the chances are good, but Hao is too cautious ~"
In the end, with Chen Hao's outstanding performance of 8 points, 10 rebounding, 15 assists, and 8 steals, the Laker defeated the Wizards and won four consecutive victories in the preseason!
After that, they would return to their home ground and their opponent would be the Nuggets!
