After the break, although Chen Hao was unwilling, he could only follow the coach's instructions and sit on the substitutes 'bench to rest. He had played for 15 minutes in a row, and the team was in the lead. No matter how he looked at it, it was time for a break.
Looking at his teammates who were fighting hard on the field and the fast passing of the game time, he suddenly felt a little sorry for himself.
This was all money, and it flew away just like that.
Because he was sitting next to Phil Jackson, Chen Hao's expression could be said to have fallen into his eyes immediately. He could not help but remind him,
" Hao, while you're resting, observe the situation on the court, especially your opponent's style and characteristics. Don't just rush and attack. Learn to read the game, understand the game, and use your brain to play. Besides, I don't think you're just a defender. You have potential on the offensive end too."
"I understand now ~"
Nodding his head, Chen Hao seemed to be focused on observing the situation on the field, but he was cursing in his heart:
"Look, f * cking look! Hurry up and let me go on stage!”
Phil Jackson naturally did not know what Chen Hao was thinking. When he saw Chen Hao watching the game seriously, he smiled in appreciation, showing an expression that he was a promising kid. However, when he looked at the field, his blood pressure suddenly rose.
The Nuggets didn't bring Andre Miller off the field. Instead, they let him continue to fight on the field, and the person defending him became Smash Parker.
He originally thought that facing an opponent who had lost his drive, even if Parker couldn't completely restrain his opponent like Chen Hao, he would at least not let his opponent score too easily and keep the situation within an acceptable range.
The reality was not what Phil Jackson thought.
It was really infuriating to compare people.
Phil Jackson felt bad as he watched Miller get past the defensive end again and again, and he was successfully back-hit twice in a row. With Miller's strong play, the Nuggets 'offense was also revitalized.
Although they were in an advantageous position now, they couldn't create it like this!
Even with Kobe and Odom's recovery, the Los Angeles team still maintained their lead on the court, but their control over the game was not as stable as before.
It was all because he had replaced Chen Hao.
In terms of defensive ability alone, two Smash Parkers were no match for Chen Hao alone.
On the offensive side, Smash was overconfident. He had made a shot when he shouldn't have. Wouldn't it be good to pass the ball to Kobe?
At the very least, he could pass it to Odom and let him coordinate with the organization in a high position. What the hell was with him making a move when the opportunity wasn't good?
"Smarsh still can't take on the big responsibility ~"
With the comparison, Phil Jackson had an answer in his heart.
Little did he know that Chen Hao was extremely anxious right now. He had previously bet with Kobe that Miller could not score more than 10 points in the entire game. Now, in just two minutes, Miller had already scored four points. He was only six points away from losing the bet.
The key was not because of himself, but because his teammates were too weak. This made him feel very helpless.
" Coach, why don't you let me play? I'm fit." Chen Hao volunteered.
Upon hearing this, even though Phil Jackson was also worried in his heart, his face still looked like a Zen master. He said calmly,
"Don't be blinded by your emotions. Trust your teammates. We still have the advantage."
As soon as he finished speaking, Carmelo Anthony intercepted Mihm's pass to Kobe. The Nuggets quickly attacked. Kenyon Martin quickly got off the field and received Anthony's pass. He scored with an alley-oop dunk. The entire stadium was in an uproar.
The entire Pepsi Center was filled with cheers. The Nuggets were in high spirits, with only one point left.
On the other hand, the morale of the team was inevitably suppressed.
"Hao, get ready to go on stage ~" Phil Jackson said calmly.
It was as if the old man who had made Chen Hao relax and rest off the field wasn't him. His slightly trembling right foot seemed to be saying something.
Soon, Chen Hao took advantage of a dead ball and came on to replace Smash Parker.
The latter looked defeated.
Originally, he still had the idea of competing with Chen Hao. This game was against the same opponent, but it was a completely different experience. His mentality immediately calmed down a lot. There was nothing to fight for. He should just be a substitute in peace and strive to stay in the Laker for a few more years to earn retirement money.
If he didn't do well, he could still become the champion. The key was that he didn't need to put in too much effort. Wasn't that good?
Why did he have to fight with that pervert Chen Hao for the starting position?
As a matter of fact, Kobe was the well-deserved boss of the entire team, and Odom occupied the second place.
Chen Hao, who was a rookie on the team, was supported by Bynum and the others. The coaching staff thought highly of him, and he had a good relationship with Kobe and Odom. Although his position was not stable, he was already the third player on the team.
He couldn't afford to offend them!
The key point was that he hadn't refuted or been unhappy. In terms of strength, when he calmed down and looked, Chen Hao seemed to be ranked in the top three of the team, which was very strong.
After all, on the basketball court, strength was the most important thing!
Chen Hao didn't know what Parker was thinking, nor did he have the mood to care. The moment he stepped onto the court, Chen Hao felt full of energy.
One step, two steps, 100 dollars!
Three steps, four steps, another 100!
This was the correct way to start a competition. A competition that couldn't earn money was incomplete.
Chen Hao's footsteps were light, and he was in a good mood on the field.
Seeing that Chen Hao had been brought on, Miller suddenly felt a toothache. He subconsciously looked at the manager and had the urge to get him to bring him off the field.
Sensing this, George Karl glared at Andre Miller angrily, but he was a little angry in his heart.
No matter what, you're a star point guard in the league, but you're actually so afraid of a rookie who's playing in the NBA for the first time. You don't even feel embarrassed if word gets out. Where's the energy you used to bully Smash Parker?
If Andre Miller knew what his coach was thinking now, he would definitely reply immediately,""Grenade-Throwing Old Mother, how can this be the same thing?”
If he could really use the same method to bully Chen Hao, then he wouldn't be so helpless.
The game continued. The Laker team started the ball from the sideline. After Chen Hao received the ball, he threw it to Kobe without stopping. He ran away quickly to give Kobe enough space to attack. His movements were very fast, as if he was afraid that Kobe would pass the ball back.
"Bastard, why don't you let me rest?"
Kobe muttered to himself after receiving the pass, but his body was very honest. After three threatening moves, he suddenly moved. As the rhythm changed, he did not care if he sent his opponent flying. He turned around and jumped at his own pace. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell straight into the net bag.
Chen Hao was very envious. No player would not want such a picturesque attack.
Most of the time, Kobe's offense did not move away from the defense. Once the rhythm was right, he would shoot straight away, completely ignoring the state of the defender.
So watching Kobe play was really exciting.
Seven out of ten balls were difficult. The key was that their overall hit rate was not low. This was very strong and eye-catching.
"Since I won the bet, do you want Kobe to teach me a few offensive techniques?”
As the Nuggets attacked, Chen Hao no longer had such thoughts. How could offense be more interesting than defense?
He liked to see his opponent being distracted by his defense, but also helpless against him. The key was that every time he defended, he was giving him money.
Isn't it infuriating?
"Newbie, don't go overboard!"
Looking at Chen Hao, who didn't give him any space, Miller was very frustrated.
Hearing this, Chen Hao's face was as calm as ever.""Old Niao, are you begging for mercy?"
"Does Bryant know you're so arrogant?”Miller frowned.
"He knows!"
"Uh ~~~"
Looking at Chen Hao's serious expression, Miller did not know what to say for a moment, but Anthony's voice rang in his ears,"
"Andrew, be careful ~"
"What?"
Before Miller could react, a defensive figure appeared beside him.
Looking closely, it was Kobe who had surrounded them.
Under the encirclement of two top defenders, Miller felt very miserable. He could not even get the ball out. He was directly locked in place and could not move an inch forward. Anthony saw this and rushed over, wanting to receive him.
However, it was too late. Kobe slapped the basketball away from Miller's hand. Chen Hao cooperated well and took two steps forward to catch the basketball. He then launched a fast attack and rushed to the front court.
He smoothly entered the Nuggets 'paint. Just when everyone thought that Chen Hao would score, he suddenly smashed the basketball from his crotch to the floor.
The ball bounced back and was caught by Kobe, who had been following closely behind. After taking three big steps and jumping high, he switched hands and dunked, ending the attack. The Pepsi Center was silent.
There was even a small number of fans who cheered unconsciously, but they were quickly stopped by the surrounding fans.
Even so, the fans were still amazed.
It had nothing to do with him. This shot was really beautiful.
Of course, Chen Hao's passing was also very creative.
"The slam dunk was very beautiful ~"
" Of course, I'm Peter Pan," Kobe replied matter-of-factly.
“......”
Chen Hao said,[Would it kill you to praise me?]
Ignoring the arrogant Kobe, Chen Hao quickly returned to defense and once again tangled with Miller.
Looking at Chen Hao's focused figure and Miller, who was defenseless against him, Kobe smiled and whispered in a voice that only he could hear,""Hao, it's good to have you around ~"
The game continued, and the Nuggets got the ball ~
Everything returned to the state of the first quarter. After Andre Miller was restricted to death by Chen Hao, the Nuggets 'starting point became Cameron Anthony.
Although Melo also had an average of 2.6 assists per game last season, and he could occasionally produce 6, 7, or even 10 assists, he was essentially a scoring machine that didn't have any emotions. He preferred to be the terminator of the ball, rather than sharing and organizing it.
Once Anthony began to focus on organizing the organization, the threat would immediately drop by a level.
On the other hand, with Chen Hao helping Kobe share the pressure on the defensive end, Kobe was able to put all his energy into the game. Coupled with Odom's gradual recovery, the game once again fell into the rhythm of the Laker.
It could be said that Chen Hao's appearance directly affected the direction of the match.
At the end of the game, the Los Angeles team was leading by seven points.
In the second half, Chen Hao continued to use a forced defense like Death Entanglement against Miller, not giving him any room to play.
The game was still under the control of the Los Angeles Clippers.
In the end, the away team scored 107:96, an 11-point advantage over the home team, the Nuggets.
If it weren't for Anthony's explosive score in the last quarter, the gap would have been even bigger.
The first game of the new season was a victory. The Los Angeles Clippers had a good start.
Kobe was undoubtedly the best player in the game. He scored 45 points in the 44 minutes he played. He made 17 of 28 shots and 7 of 7 free throws. He beat Anthony by 41 points and defended the glory of the 1996 season.
Odom had 11 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounding. He had a triple-double. Other than his shooting percentage being too good, the rest was still acceptable.
As for Chen Hao, in his first NBA regular season game, he also handed over a satisfactory answer. In 40 minutes, he scored 6 points, 3 rebounded, 8 assists, 5 steals, and 1 block. He became the main contributor to the team's victory.
His role cannot be fully reflected in the data alone.
He declined Zen Master's offer to let him attend the post-match press conference on the grounds that he wanted to focus on the game and not be disturbed by the outside world. After washing up, Chen Hao sat on the chair in the locker room and looked at his gains from the game with anticipation.
