Unlike the last game against the Nuggets, this time, the home team, the entire team, was warmly welcomed by the fans.
Thanks to his excellent performance in the last match, Chen Hao received a lot of cheers the moment he walked out of the aisle. There were also many blonde girls who openly expressed their love and shouted some words that made people think of them.
As an innocent little boy, Chen Hao couldn't help but sigh."
"He's still too handsome. Forget it, I should focus on earning money now…Oh no, coach, I want to play basketball!”
Even though he said that, his body was very honest. He kept waving to the fans behind the guardrails on both sides of the aisle, causing a large number of screams.
The girls, in particular, were all scrambling to reach out to Chen Hao.
Chen Hao didn't shake hands with them. He quickly walked out of the aisle and stood on the court.
This scene was completely broadcasted on all the major television screens, attracting widespread attention.
Especially on this side ~
"From the attitude of the home fans of the Laker team, we can see that Chen Hao is very popular. What do you think, Coach Zhang?”
"I just watched the game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Nuggets today. Hao Chen is a very good player, especially his defensive ability. I'm sure he'll make a name for himself in the NBA ~" Coach Zhang did not hide his admiration for Hao Chen.
Yu Jia, the commentator sitting beside him, smiled and said,"It seems like Director Zhang thinks very highly of Chen Hao ~"
"Yes, unlike our domestic defenders, I see the shadow of European and American players in Chen Hao. His style of play is very aggressive and he is extremely persistent in winning. This is really impressive!”Instructor Zhang replied with a serious expression.
This made Yu Jia adjust her expression and immediately continued to explain," Then let's wait and see. The Suns are very strong. If nothing goes wrong in this game, Chen Hao will play against All-Star point guard Steve Nash. Let's see what kind of performance he will give us."
"That's right. Everyone, wait and see ~" Coach Zhang nodded and smiled at the camera.
At the same time, the broadcast switched to Kobe and Odom. The two star players of the Laker team received even more enthusiastic cheers, especially Kobe, who was like the king of the Staples Center.
The data of the last match appeared on the screen at the right time, attracting a lot of attention.
In the last game, he had scored 40 points against Cameron Anthony's defense. This time, against the Suns, who were famous for their offensive strength, how many points could he score and whether he could lead the team to victory was the focus of everyone's attention.
However, the attention of the Chinese fans and audience was still on Chen Hao.
A Chinese point guard suddenly appeared, and he was even the starting point guard of the giants. He performed so well in the first game, and the key was that he was very handsome. People had to care about him.
Of course, if Chen Hao's performance in this game was poor, then this attention might become pressure on him, and some fans and spectators might even turn against him.
This was reality.
The number one player in the basketball world, Big Yao, was often slandered in later generations. Whenever Chen Hao made a mistake or performed poorly, he would most likely suffer this kind of " violent " behavior.
His attention returned to the arena.
After they finished playing, the two teams went to their respective half-courts to do a simple shooting warm-up. After finding their touch and game condition, they returned to the substitutes 'bench to make the final preparations for the game.
The starting lineup of the Los Angeles Clippers changed again because of the last game.
Brian Cook and Chris Mihm were placed on the bench. Kuame Brown was the team's starting center. Odom was transferred to the position of power forward. Devin George was the small forward. The guard line was still Kobe and Chen Hao.
On the Suns 'side, due to Stoudemire's injury and some trades in the new season, the team's starting lineup had changed greatly from last season. It was a five-player lineup consisting of Steve Nash, James Jones, Shawn Marion, Curt Thomas, and Raja Bell.
The tallest of the five, Curt Thomas, was only 2.06 meters tall.
There was no doubt that the overall defensive ability of the Suns 'lineup could only be considered average, but the offensive rhythm would be very fast.
After all, the five people on the field were all small.
Looking at the players on both sides who had a clear difference in height on the field, the fans and audience naturally could not help but discuss.
The match began in this atmosphere.
"Beep ~"
With a whistle, the basketball was thrown high. Kuame Brown easily beat Marion and sent the ball to his own half.
After receiving the ball and passing through the half court, Nash immediately defended and whispered,""You did well in the last match ~"
" Thank you. You performed very well in the last match," Chen Hao replied without any doubt.
Hearing this, Nash's expression changed slightly and he said faintly,""We lost the last match ~"
"Um."
Feeling a little awkward, Chen Hao didn't say anything else and passed the ball to Kobe. He ran around the three-point line and ran to the bottom leg. Nash followed closely behind. Soon, he heard the crisp sound of a net entering the net.
Kobe, whose speed had not decreased, was facing Marion. Even though Marion had the league's top defensive hardware, excellent mobility, a tall defensive shooting guard advantage, and an extremely abnormal wingspan, he still could not stop Black Mamba from scoring.
2:0, the Laker team took the lead.
The baseline quickly served. After Nash received the ball, he immediately sped up and rushed forward. The other four players on the Suns also quickly ran to the front field.
Standing in the middle line, Chen Hao immediately used a tight marking on Nash.
They weren't too close to each other. They were always half a step away from each other. Their hands were fully extended, ready to intercept and block at any time. Their eyes were very focused, staring at Nash without relaxing for a moment.
" No wonder he was able to defend Miller so well. He's really something!"
Feeling the pressure coming from Chen Hao, Nash grinned and used his personal ball control skills to bring Chen Hao straight to the three-point line. He relied on Curt Thomas's sudden pick-and-roll to shake off Chen Hao's defense and slip into the penalty area along the end line.
It immediately messed up the defensive system of the Los Angeles team.
In the crowd, Nash raised his hand and passed the ball out.
At some point, Marion ran to the free-throw line. After receiving the pass comfortably, he threw the ball in a very abnormal position.
"Swoosh ~"
The basketball fell into the net ~
2:2, both sides tied.
Even though he was already mentally prepared, Chen Hao still couldn't help but laugh out loud after seeing Marion's shooting action. Even the unhappiness from the defensive failure dissipated a little.
Marion, who was in a good mood after scoring, couldn't help but frown.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a handsome guy before?”Chen Hao glared back at Marion.
If you dare to use this kind of shooting posture, then don't be afraid of being laughed at ~
The Los Angeles team returned to the court and controlled the ball for half of the court. Chen Hao looked at the situation on the court and realized that Kobe was entangled with Marion. Chen Hao decided to attack on his own.
Nash's wingspan and size meant that his defensive range would not be too large. His physical arrangement and athletic ability made him less aggressive on the defensive end. Even if his defensive awareness and willingness were not bad, his innate conditions and personal style of play meant that he could only become a defensive loophole.
In his previous life, almost every player who played against Nash had good statistics. At least, they scored well. This was the best response to Nash's defensive ability. They wanted to defend, but they just couldn't.
Chen Hao dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed direction. He easily dodged Nash's defense. Even he could not believe it himself. It was so easy.
He rushed into the three-point line and faced Raja Bale's defense. Chen Hao passed the ball without looking at anyone, and the basketball fell into Odom's hands.
The latter did not stick to the ball at all and passed the ball straight to the edge of the penalty area.
Kobe appeared at the right time. After receiving the pass, he did not stick to the ball and passed it to the ground. The basketball flew past Curt Thomas 'crotch and rebounded into Chen Hao's hands.
Chen Hao scored two points with an easy layup.
~4：2！
The coordination was done in one go, and it was brilliant. It was even more dazzling. The audience was not stingy with cheers.
At this moment, the Laker fans vaguely remembered the wonderful times of the team during the SHOWTIME!
Meanwhile, the Chinese basketball fans on the other side of the Pacific Ocean were all shouting words like " 666 " and " Brother Hao is awesome."
The match did not stop.
Nash's playing style was like a slippery loach. He could touch it, but he couldn't catch it. It made it difficult for Chen Hao to completely restrain him. It was even difficult to keep up with his trajectory.
In the Suns 'tactical system, in order to prevent Nash from being entangled by the defenders for a long time, players would always be arranged to help pick and roll, which made Chen Hao a little annoyed.
Once again, Chen Hao was in a bad mood as he watched Nash assist his teammates in an extremely elegant way.
On the offensive end, Devin George easily broke through Nash's defense and broke through the perimeter.
The latter was in a state where no one was watching. He raised his hand and slashed down, directly attacking in three parts.
The basketball spun to the top of the basket and fell straight into it.
A three-pointer!
7:4, the Los Angeles Clippers took the lead again.
This time, Chen Hao chose not to go back to defend. Instead, he followed Nash closely throughout the game, not giving him an easy chance to catch the ball.
"The game has only started for two minutes. Can you withstand it with your physical fitness?”Nash kindly reminded him.
? After being in the Alliance for close to ten years, he had seen through many things. He was calm and didn't take things too seriously.
Chen Hao replied calmly,""I can handle it ~"
"You're really young and frivolous ~"
Although he said that, in the face of Chen Hao's aggressive close-range marking, Nash did not have any good ideas.
His entire body was stuck to Nash's body, and he kept making small movements, not giving him a chance to escape at all.
Since he couldn't even catch the ball, Nash could only choose to trust his teammates.
However, the core of the bombardment tactic was Nash. Once Nash couldn't get the ball and run, the threat of the Suns was directly reduced by half.
That was the truth. In the next few rounds, Chen Hao's defensive style, which hurt 800 enemies and 1,000 losses, made the Suns lose their inherent rhythm on the offensive end. It was very difficult for Nash to catch the ball, let alone lead the team to attack.
On the other hand, Kobe played outstandingly and scored eight points in a row, helping the team establish their lead.
Mike D'Antoni had no choice but to call a time-out.
"Beautiful defense!"
As soon as he entered the substitutes 'bench, Chen Hao received a high level of recognition from Hoffman.
Phil Jackson was calmer. Looking at the amount of sweat Chen Hao was sweating, he couldn't help but say worriedly,""Can you still hold on?"
"No problem ~"
" Don't worry, Coach," Chen Hao said with a relaxed smile." Even if I'm tired, I'll fall one step later than Nash!"”
"Alright ~"
Phil Jackson patted Chen Hao's shoulder heavily, feeling very gratified.
He saw Rodman's shadow in Chen Hao.
Of course, he was referring to his defensive attitude, not his colorful hairstyle or his eccentric personality.
Chen Hao sat on the substitutes 'bench to recover his strength. On his left was Kobe, and on his right was Odom. He looked like the boss of the team, which was very surprising.
It made the Chinese football fans on the other side of the ocean extremely surprised.
"This is the first time I feel that defense is so hot-blooded!”
"Shocking, this time it's really shocking. Brother Hao's defense is too hard. Nash is about to vomit, right?”
"I thought that Brother Hao relied on his looks to make a living, but now it seems that Brother Hao relied on his hard work to stand in the NBA!”
"You have the face of an idol, but you're a Fauve in defense. I'm in love, I'm in love. I announce that from now on, I'm a fan of Brother Hao ~"
“......”
Unknowingly, Chen Hao had gained his first batch of fans in Beijing. It only took him half a quarter of the game.
In the commentator's seat on the sports channel, Coach Zhang was brazenly praising Chen Hao's performance in this half of the game. He was looking forward to the scene when Chen Hao joined the national team and fought side by side with Big Yao.
With one inside and one outside, the future of the national team was promising!
Amidst the discussions and thoughts, the pause ended and the competition began again.
