In an NBA game, the average running distance of a player was about 3000 meters to 3500 meters. Just from the distance of running, it was naturally incomparable to a football game, but the intensity was not low at all.
After all, the basketball court was not as big as the football field. In most cases, players had to accelerate, decelerate, and change direction frequently between offense and defense. During this period, there were also intense physical collisions and confrontations. These were extremely exhausting for physical fitness.
Chen Hao's running distance in this game greatly exceeded the NBA average, reaching an astonishing 4300 meters. This was all thanks to Miller's frequent running in the second half to get rid of the defense, which made Chen Hao have to risk his life to accompany him. He almost chased and defended half the court.
There were even problems with his physical fitness.
With only 76 points of physical fitness, even with the bonus of running and the increase in physical recovery, Chen Hao's body would definitely not be able to withstand the high-intensity consumption on the field for a long time. In the last few minutes of the last game, he began to show obvious signs of overconsumption.
However, his opponent, Andre Miller, was in an even worse state than him. Chen Hao saw that the guy's legs were even trembling.
Facing such an opponent, it was good to show that he could defend for another half an hour!
In the end, Andre Miller's score was limited to eight points.
Winning the game and winning the bet was simply wonderful ~
The shortcomings of a defender who did not have a stable shooting ability were greatly reflected in Andre Miller.
If Miller had a steady shot, even if it was just a mid-range shot, he could shake off Chen Hao's defense by relying on the pick-and-roll. He would get a good opportunity and complete the shot.
Unfortunately, he did not. He could only helplessly use a lot of running to find opportunities.
When he ran into Chen Hao, who was faster than him, he couldn't even outrun him. He was completely restricted.
Back to the main topic ~
In terms of running distance alone, Chen Hao had already earned 430,000 dollars in this match. He had dribbled 1123 times, and each dribble would also earn him 100 dollars. That was another 112,300 dollars.
Adding on the inheritance of other data, Chen Hao had earned nearly 600,000 dollars in one match.
" 600,000 per match. There are a total of 82 matches in the regular season. One season's worth of money is enough to buy and max out an S-rank skill. If you can endure it, you can even buy the highest level SSS-rank skill. The future is bright!”
After a few seasons, Chen Hao expressed that he would not be interested in skills below S-rank. When the time came, he would be fully equipped with top-notch skills. Just thinking about it would be awesome.
The more he thought about it, the more excited Chen Hao was. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, causing Bynum, Vujasic, Turiaf, and the others who had been observing him to unconsciously look away, afraid that Chen Hao would target them.
Not long after, after the post-match press conference ended, Kobe and Odom returned.
After the latter entered the locker room, he immediately walked over quickly and put his arm around Chen Hao's shoulder. He smiled and said,
" Hao, you have to thank me. I said a lot of good things about you in front of the reporters just now."
"No problem, no problem. I'll bring you to play the whole game when I have time ~" Chen Hao said generously.
This made Odom very excited." That's nice. I like brothers like you."
" It's nothing." Chen Hao blew a kiss at Odom.
The latter hurriedly ran away, but immediately walked forward.
Kobe was also there. Seeing that his good friend was being hogged by someone else, his hateful possessiveness climbed up again.
" Don't be too proud. This is only your first regular season. I believe you can do better in the future." Kobe patted Chen Hao's butt encouragingly.
Having scored 40 points tonight and led the team to victory, Black Mamba was obviously in a good mood. He did not force himself to create an arrogant and cold persona in the locker room, appearing very down-to-earth.
Especially in front of Chen Hao, he seemed especially relaxed.
Bynum and the others were so shocked that their jaws dropped. Was this still the Black Mamba they remembered?
Why was he so easy to talk to?
Why are you so cold when you talk to us? Do you have to treat us differently?
But soon, as if he had noticed that he had lost his composure, Kobe stopped smiling and returned to his unapproachable look.
" This guy doesn't think that the boss of the team should be like this, does he? It's really different if you haven't gone to college."
Of course, Chen Hao would never say this out loud. He still wanted to live a few more years.
" Bryant is still as cocky as ever," Odom whispered.
As he spoke, he did not forget to glance at Kobe, who was packing his clothes, afraid that he would be overheard.
Chen Hao found it funny. He was about to sell out his brother, Odom, but his mouth was covered.
"Wuwuwu ~~~"
"You're full of tricks, kid. Don't think I don't know what you're up to ~"
"Wuwuwu ~~~"
" What are you shouting for? Promise me that you won't tell anyone what you just said. Otherwise, you'll be a mute tonight."
Seeing Chen Hao nod in agreement, Odom let go of his broad palm.
"If you almost fainted from the pressure, then no one would be able to bring you to play the whole game.”
Chen Hao glared at Odom and said to Kobe, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression,""Hey, I won the bet ~"
" What request do you have? Just say it." Kobe was not someone who could not afford to play. He looked confident.
Seeing this scene, Chen Hao couldn't help but tease,""Can we let you go to the nightclub with us?”
" Eh?" Kobe was stunned.
"Sure, but you have to bring Vanessa with you."
Odom couldn't help but let out a strange cry.
Kobe's face instantly turned red. Bringing his wife to a nightclub was indeed a little lame, but when he thought about the possible consequences, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Seeing this, Chen Hao smiled."Don't worry. I'm so close to Vanessa. I won't bring you to that kind of place. I don't have any requests for now. I'll tell you when I think of something. I promise it won't be too much ~"
"Yes ~"
Nodding, Kobe felt that something was not right, but he could not recall what it was. After a moment of hesitation, Kobe said,""Nightclubs aren't a good place. You... You'd better not go too often ~"
" Why do I see envy in your eyes?" Chen Hao teased.
"No, I haven't ~"
"Yes ~"
"No!"
" There must be. No, I have to tell Vanessa about this."
"You bastard!"
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the friendly interaction between Chen Hao and Kobe, especially the latter's defeated expression, Odom was in a good mood. The others around him could not help but laugh. Even Phil Jackson, who had just entered the locker room to give instructions, could not help but smile.
He was very glad that he had promised his old friend to give Chen Hao a trial training opportunity.
Now, it seemed that Chen Hao had not only brought excellent defensive and organizational performance to the team, but also made the team more united and harmonious off the field. The 450,000 yuan spent was really worth it!
Unfortunately, he had only signed for a year. Phil Jackson felt that he could almost urge the team to complete the contract extension with Chen Hao.
Because it was late and they had to return to their home stadium tomorrow night to play against the Suns, the team did not stay in the Nuggets 'stadium for long. The key was that they were not welcomed by the other side, so they went straight back to the hotel.
The night passed quickly.
At noon the next day, everyone flew back to Los Angeles on a private plane and began to prepare for the game against the Suns in the evening.
Last season, the Suns used their huge salary space to sign star players Steve Nash and Quentin Richardson. In addition, the team had All-Star Amare Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, and Shawn Marion. The lineup was terrifying.
With Mike Anthony's tactical guidance, they set off a wave of criticism in the league. Their record in the regular season was the best in the Western Conference, and they made it all the way through the playoffs. Unfortunately, they met the better Spurs and stopped in the Western Conference finals.
The Suns had a bad start to the season. Amare Stoudemire, the core player in the paint, was absent due to an injury, which greatly weakened the team's combat power. However, the lineup was still sharp. As long as Nash was on the court, the Suns 'competitiveness was as terrifying as ever.
Faced with an opponent who was clearly stronger than them on paper, and their team was back-to-back, lacking in physical fitness, the players of the Los Angeles Clippers naturally had no reason to relax. They devoted themselves to pre-game analysis and preparation.
As a defensive general on the outside, Chen Hao was naturally given the task of guarding against Nash.
Compared to the Nuggets 'Andre Miller, Steve Nash was undoubtedly more difficult to deal with. Although his body was not explosive, his ball control skills were sharper, and his passes were unpredictable. The key was that he also had good shooting ability and was very good at using pick-and-rolls.
As a defensive master, Chen Hao knew that unless a bad offense took him off the field, he really couldn't completely restrain such a player. He could only reduce his efficiency as much as possible.
Knowing this, Phil Jackson didn't give Chen Hao the task of completely locking down Nash. He just asked him to cut off the connection between Nash and his teammates as much as possible, and not let the rhythm of the game fall into the hands of the Suns. He wanted to keep his offensive and defensive rhythm as undisrupted as possible.
It could be said that whether the team could win this game depended largely on whether Chen Hao could restrict Nash's play.
With a heavy burden on his shoulders, Chen Hao naturally felt pressured. While watching the video, he discussed with Kobe and the assistant coach in charge of defensive training how to defend against Nash.
What Chen Hao didn't know was that while they were busy preparing for the game, his performance in the last game had attracted the attention of some teams and fans in the league, especially Odom, who had praised Chen Hao to the sky.
Coupled with the fact that his opponent was a strong team like the Nuggets, and facing the long-established star point guard Andre Miller, Chen Hao was suddenly pushed into the limelight.
Everyone felt unfamiliar with Chen Hao, but that didn't stop them from investigating and reporting about him.
Even Big Yao, who was far away in Houston, heard the news and was immediately interested. The Chinese basketball team had never lacked players in the middle, but the players in the back line were only considered to be of average international standard. Now that there was a guard who could play well in the NBA, how could they not pay attention to him?
" Why haven't I heard of Chen Hao before? He's a player who can enter the NBA level. He has 6 points, 3 rebounding, 8 assists, 5 steals, and one blocked shot. His statistics are very comprehensive." Looking at the report about Chen Hao, Big Yao became more and more curious.
He immediately asked the team staff to help him find the route of last night's game between the Laker and the Nuggets. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was no game today to see what kind of state the player, who had been praised by his teammates and the media, was in on the court.
At the same time, he also asked his manager to find Chen Hao's contact information. As the big brother, he felt that he had to get in touch with Chen Hao as soon as possible.
It wasn't just the Americans. As time went by, the Chinese fans who had been paying attention to Chen Hao, who was on the Los Angeles team, also learned about Chen Hao's performance in his first game through various translated articles and photos.
All of them were shocked.
"Eight assists and five steals.”
"I love it, I love it. Our national team finally has an NBA level guard!”
"His defense looks pretty good, and his organizational skills are also outstanding. Where did this guy come from?”
"He might be a god among the people ~"
"666, what a god!”
"Speaking of which, am I the only one who's concerned about Chen Hao's looks?”
"Handsome dog, please leave ~"
“......”
There were only two games in the NBA today. Other than the matchup between the Laker and the Suns, there was only one game left between the Heat and the Pacers.
Due to the intense discussion of the domestic fans about Chen Hao and their strong curiosity about Chen Hao, the sports channel followed the public opinion and chose to broadcast the game between the Los Angeles and Phoenix Suns. It took a lot of effort.
When they found out that they were about to see Chen Hao's match on the television, the Chinese football fans were instantly excited. The match had not even started yet, but the viewership ratings were already rising steadily. This made the Sports Channel's leader feel lucky for his decision.
Chen Hao was unaware of all this. After completing his pre-match warm-up and changing his clothes in the locker room, he followed his teammates and prepared to enter the field.
