"Down with the Laker!"
"This isn't a place you should be, you guys from the Laker!”
"F* ck, get rid of the Laker!"
“......”
Because it was the away team, the Laker team took the lead. Chen Hao walked in front of Odom and was the team's third-to-last player. He was greeted by the cheers of the Nuggets fans and audience behind the fences on both sides of the aisle.
However, when everyone saw Chen Hao's appearance, they were all stunned for a moment. The female fans immediately stopped praising him, causing the male fans to become even angrier and start scolding him.
Sensing this situation, Chen Hao looked at the female fans who were curiously watching him on both sides of the aisle in surprise. He blinked and felt inexplicable.
"Go on, why aren't you scolding me? Are you looking down on me?”
" Don't worry about that. When we beat the Nuggets, they'll have nothing to say." Odom's voice came from behind.
"You'd better take care of yourself first. Why do I feel that you'll faint on the field later?”
Chen Hao was grateful for Odom's comforting words, but his weak appearance was not convincing at all.
Odom's expression froze, but he quickly recovered. He slapped Chen Hao's butt and said in a bad mood,""No matter what, I'm still a senior. Leave me some face ~"
"Oh ~" Chen Hao replied perfunctorily and entered the arena.
Odom felt helpless, but he didn't say anything because they had gone to the nightclub together to pick up girls. He followed Chen Hao into the venue.
Standing in the stadium and feeling the warm atmosphere, Chen Hao's entire body trembled slightly. It was not fear, but excitement!
It had been more than five months since he came to this world, and he had finally stepped onto the world's most intense competition.
"Suck…Phew."
Chen Hao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to calm himself down. He looked around at the Nuggets fans who were jeering and mocking them."When we defeat your home team tonight, I'm sure you guys won't be able to scream anymore ~"
As he was thinking, a pair of small hands placed on Chen Hao's shoulders and rubbed them hard. Kobe's voice rang in his ears,"
" Kid, don't forget what you promised me last night. If you can't complete it, I'll punish you by making you pick up balls for a week."
"What if I complete it?"
Chen Hao didn't need to look to know that Kobe was behind him.
"If you really accomplish that goal, then I will fulfill one of your requests.”Kobe said seriously.
"It's a deal ~"
"Deal!"
The two of them clapped to show their agreement. Odom, who was watching from the side, was very puzzled. He immediately asked,"
"Are you two betting?"
Chen Hao did not hide anything. He simply told Odom about the bet between him and Kobe. Odom was very interested and immediately made it clear that he would help Chen Hao achieve that goal. Kobe could not help but roll his eyes.
Once upon a time, Odom, who had been traded from the Heat, thought that he was the boss of the Los Angeles Clippers. Kobe was his support. They had some conflicts last season, but at the beginning of the new season, his relationship with Kobe had eased a lot because of Chen Hao.
He had already settled his position, but if he could see Kobe make a fool of himself, Odom would naturally be more than happy to help.
Soon, a series of cheers interrupted his thoughts.
The Nuggets players entered the stadium.
" When I get back to my home ground, I should be able to get the same cheers, right?" Chen Hao thought with anticipation.
Kobe and Odom, who had long been wily old foxes in the league, looked calm. Oh, no, the latter looked constipated. It was obvious that he was not in good condition.
Chen Hao didn't think too much about this. He began to observe his opponent's lineup.
This season, the Nuggets 'lineup was very strong. Even in the Western Conference, where strong teams were everywhere, they could rank in the top three.
Cameron Anthony was undoubtedly the absolute core of the Nuggets. He was excellent in both offense and defense.
The team also had the support of Kenyon Martin, Marcus Camby, Andre Miller, Earl Boykins, and other outstanding players. Coupled with the leadership of the league's veteran coach, George Carr, the Nuggets 'combat power was not bad.
In terms of lineup, it was definitely better than the Los Angeles Clippers.
However, basketball matches were never just a competition of paper lineup data. Their competitive state, on-the-spot performance, and tactics would directly affect the outcome of the game.
As one of the top stars in the league, Kobe took the initiative to step forward and greet Anthony.
It could be seen that the two of them should still have some contact in private.
After all, the circle was only so big, and they would have to fight a few times a year. It could be said that they would meet frequently.
Chen Hao, who had no other connections in the league other than his own team, did not walk over to have a chat. Instead, he sat on the bench and tidied up his clothes and shoelaces, trying to make a name for himself in one battle. This also made Phil Jackson feel at ease.
Only in this way could he secure his starting position and have more playing time. He could earn more money and become stronger.
Looking at Chen Hao's young but unfazed appearance, Phil Jackson nodded lightly. Hoffman, who was sitting beside him, leaned over and whispered,""See, I told you Hao is a player with a big heart ~"
"You can say that when the game starts ~" Phil looked at his assistant speechlessly.
He felt that Hoffman seemed to have become a boastful person, boasting about how powerful Chen Hao was and how high his potential was.
If he didn't know his old buddy's personality, Phil Jackson would have suspected that he had accepted Chen Hao's money.
The free exchange time passed quickly because they had already warmed up. After entering the stadium, the players on both sides returned to the substitutes 'bench after a simple warm-up and carried out the final tactical arrangements.
Looking at Hoffman, who was eloquent, and then glancing at Phil Jackson, who was sitting in his chair without saying anything, Chen Hao sighed slightly.
Wasn't this too much of a hooligan?
He did not have a deep understanding of the triangle tactic, and could even be said to be at the level of a noob. However, this did not prevent him from integrating into the lineup.
In any case, the task on the offensive end was to ensure that he did not concede the ball and make fewer mistakes. If he really had no idea what to do, he would pass the ball to Kobe as much as possible. The defensive end was where he made the most money, and it was also his main task.
Thinking of this, Chen Hao felt much more relaxed, as if he had a plan in mind.
Bynum and the others, who were frowning, were very impressed. As expected of their boss. His comprehension ability was really amazing.
"Beep ~"
A slightly ear-piercing whistle sounded. The final preparation time had been exhausted, and the starting players of both sides appeared.
On the team's side, due to Brian Cook's poor physical condition due to the high altitude environment, he was not suitable to be a starter. The team sent the combination of Kuame Brown and Chris Mihm, the small forward Lamar Odom, the shooting guard Kobe, and the point guard Chen Hao.
It was equivalent to saying that the three big inside players were present. Odom's height of 2.08 meters to play as a small forward was a bully and a natural misplacement.
Of course, the core of the team's offense was undoubtedly on the perimeter because they had Kobe.
His gaze shifted to the Nuggets. The lineup was gorgeous ~
Center ~ Marcus Camby, Power Forward ~ Kenyon Martin, Small Forward ~ Cameron Anthony, Shooting Guard ~ Voshan Leonard, Point Guard ~ Andre Miller.
Five players in the starting lineup, four star players!
Even the only ordinary-looking player, Voshan Leonard, had an average score of 14 points per game at his peak. Last season, he had an average score of 10 points per game. Such a player definitely could not be relaxed.
The players on both sides quickly took their positions. Kuame Brown and Marcus Camby jumped the ball.
The moment Chen Hao stepped onto the court, he had no other thoughts in his mind. His eyes were fixed on Andre Miller, not relaxing for a moment. In this game, his mission was to kill this old bird in front of him!
His undisguised behavior immediately attracted Andre Miller's attention. He looked at Chen Hao in confusion and thought for two seconds. After realizing that he really didn't know Chen Hao, he grinned and revealed a friendly smile.
"I'm laughing at your ***~" Chen Hao's heart was filled with sweetness.
It was also at this moment that the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the basketball was thrown high into the air.
Both of them were 2.11 meters tall, but Canbi's arm span had reached an insane 229 centimeters, far surpassing that of Kuame Brown. This was also his greatest asset to become the league's blocked shot king.
"Pa ~"
Relying on his extraordinary wingspan, Camby was the first to touch the ball and transferred it to his own half of the court. The Nuggets attacked.
Andre Miller had just received the pass and was about to break through, but he felt darkness in front of him. He subconsciously made a defensive gesture to ensure that the basketball was not intercepted. When he looked closely, he saw Chen Hao pouncing on him fiercely.
"Do you have to work so hard? A rookie is a rookie. You're too impulsive ~"
He thought to himself, Miller steadily controlled the ball for half the court and did not give Chen Hao any chance to steal. However, the death-like defense made him very uncomfortable. Unable to shake off the defense, he could only pass the ball out.
He originally thought that Chen Haowei had relaxed, but he helplessly realized that he was still being closely watched.
" Kid, relax. I don't have a ball in my hand," Miller whispered.
Chen Hao was really torturing her to the point of suffocation.
Chen Hao was still extremely focused when he heard that. He simply replied,""I know ~"
He was still doing his own thing, as if he had a deep hatred for Miller, not giving him any space.
" I don't have the ball in my hand," Miller emphasized.
He went through his mind again and confirmed that he had never met Chen Hao before, let alone offended him.
Chen Hao still replied,""I know ~"
" What an idiot!" Miller was helpless.
However, he had already spent six seasons in the league, so he would not be completely restricted. He immediately began to run without the ball, trying to shake off Chen Hao's marking. However, he found that he was doing useless work. The opponent's defense was very tight.
"This guy seems to be just a rookie. Are all rookies nowadays so fierce and one-track minded?”Miller was a little confused and annoyed.
No matter what, he was a well-known point guard in the league. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't accept being played like this by a rookie.
At this time, Anthony had already completed his first attack. Facing Odom, who was in an average state, Anthony went all out. He easily threw away the defense and made a mid-range shot, giving the Nuggets a lead.
~0：2！
Chen Hao dribbled the ball past half of the court. As if to pay back the " humiliation " from before, Miller immediately pressed forward.
Without waiting for him to make a move, Chen Hao dribbled the ball cleanly from behind and directly brushed past his side.
" Don't even think about going over." Miller turned around forcefully and chased after him.
His expression was calm, and his top-notch ball control ability allowed Chen Hao to observe the situation around him calmly during the breakthrough. After receiving Kobe's signal, he took a step forward and broke into the three-point line. He stopped and retreated, pretending to shoot a three-point shot. Miller and even the Nuggets were nervous.
The former jumped up to block the ball, but what greeted him was Chen Hao's action of retrieving the ball. He took the opportunity to shake the ball off Kobe's hands, who cut inside the lane.
"Bang!"
After taking two steps to receive the ball, Kobe stepped on the floor and jumped high into the air, dunking the ball into the basket. Camby and Martin were both a beat slower and missed.
Stealing food from the tiger's mouth was nothing more than this.
~2：2！
"Pa ~"
Chen Hao returned to the defense and high-fived Kobe. He then stood in the center line and waited for Miller's arrival.
Seeing this scene, Miller felt terrible.
This rookie was really f * cked up!
