Dressed in casual wear, the handsome Chen walked down from the team bus. His entire body sparkled under the sunlight, forming a sharp contrast with the black men around him.
This attracted the attention of the pedestrians who were watching the situation on the street.
Looking around, Chen Hao was surprised to find that there were no Hawks fans. Instead, there were a few Kobe fans wearing the number eight jersey. They stood at the hotel entrance with anticipation, as if they were waiting for their idol.
"This away game is very different ~" Chen Hao thought.
Without pausing, he followed Odom straight into the hotel. Kobe, who was at the back, signed autographs for the young fans before entering the hotel.
"Hey, our big star who takes home and away games is here ~" Chen Hao waved his hand and teased.
Kobe did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he raised his chin."" Some people are probably jealous right now."
Chen didn't want to talk to the Black Mamba. He turned around and went to the team staff, whispering,""Jim, I want to stay in a single room this time ~"
"No, you don't want to ~"
Kobe hugged Chen Hao's neck from behind and looked at Jim with a smile.
However, this smile made people panic.
Anyway, Jim was not going to pay attention to Chen Hao's request. He arranged for him and Kobe to stay in the same room again.
" Sigh…" Chen Hao sighed helplessly.
Kobe, who was beside him, raised his eyebrows."Aren't you happy to share a room with me?”
" Of course I'm happy!"
Chen Hao forced a smile and continued while his teammates were trying to hold back their laughter,"
"But I think that as the boss of the team, you should pay more attention to the rest of the team, such as Lamar, Smash, and Sasha. You can often visit them in the away hotel, tell them how to play on the court, and teach them some game experience ~"
"I'm here."
Everyone's expression changed when they heard this, especially the few who were specifically named by Chen Hao. They did not want to stay here any longer. They immediately picked up their room cards and quickly walked towards the elevator.
In the same room as Kobe?
That scene was very cold.
Chen Hao was the only one on the entire team who could communicate with Kobe happily and became very good friends off the court. The others, even Odom, who was the second best player on the team, could only maintain a simple teammate relationship with Kobe.
If possible, they would rather share a room with Chen Hao and accept Old Third Chen's visit.
Chen Hao was very famous in the small circle of the Laker team. He either didn't play, or he played big.
* Cough cough *
After the little episode, Chen Hao was unwilling to share a room with Kobe, who snored and was a very talkative person in private. However, he could only accept his fate in the end. After all, they were brothers who chatted with each other.
Back to the main topic ~
Next, the team would play back-to-back games against the Hawks and the Timberwolves, which was undoubtedly a big challenge for the players 'fitness.
Fortunately, the overall strength of the two teams this season was not too strong. As long as Kobe's offensive state did not change too much, it was not too difficult to win.
In the afternoon, the whole team went to the nearest rented stadium to train for a while before returning to the hotel to wait for the start of the game the next night.
In an away game, the team would definitely not allow the players to go out, let alone go to nightclubs.
Chen Hao, the nightclub prince who had previously caused a stir in Los Angeles, and Odom, who was deeply addicted to nightclubs, were closely watched by the coaching staff.
Chen Hao had Kobe to watch over him, while Odom was forced to stay in the same room as Hoffman.
Time passed quickly. There was no time to appreciate the city of Atlanta in detail. The game against the Hawks began.
Compared to Los Angeles, the attendance rate at the Hawks 'home stadium, the Phillips Stadium, was only above average. Among them, the fans of the Clippers actually occupied nearly one-sixth of the seats, which was really surprising.
"Good luck, Brother Hao!”
As soon as he entered the venue, Chen Hao suddenly heard some Chinese. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice. What he saw was a man wearing a white t-shirt with the words " Brother Hao is awesome " written on the front. The corners of his mouth twitched.
Why was it a man?
Why did she feel so ashamed?
Why?
Although he had such thoughts, Chen Hao still raised his hand and waved at the fan. Even the Chinese people around him cheered excitedly. At this moment, for some reason, Chen Hao felt a sense of mission in his heart.
In this game, he wanted to use his excellent performance to repay the support of these fans.
The entrance ceremony soon ended. After all, it was an away game. Although there was some support from their own fans, most of them were supporters of the home team. Chen Hao and the others inevitably received many " friendly " greetings.
Chen Hao didn't care about that. He looked at the Hawks players.
Joe Smith, who had just joined the Hawks this season, was undoubtedly the team's biggest threat. In the three games the Hawks had played this season, the new Eagle King had performed well, scoring more than 20 points.
The second most outstanding player on the Hawks was Ai Er Harrington, who had an average of 18.7 points per game. In Chen Hao's eyes, he was a player born in the wrong era. If it was the era of small ball in the future, a power forward like Harrington, who could shoot three-pointers and had excellent mobility, would definitely be a hot potato in the future.
However, in this era where important centers were still the most important and positional play was more popular, Harrington did not give a strong impression. In the NBA, he could only be considered a qualified middle-class player. Although his statistics were good, he did not have much of a presence.
In addition to the two players that the Hawks needed to focus on, two other extremely familiar faces immediately attracted Chen Hao's attention.
Feet scum ~ Zazar Pachulia had a childish and harmless look on his face, but those who were familiar with his playing style knew that he was full of bad ideas and his playing style was dirty ~
Tyrone Lu, who was standing next to him, had a different style. Although he was only 1.83 meters tall and looked very thin, his style of playing was very fierce. He was like a bullfighter on the defensive side and was extremely difficult to deal with.
In the 2000-2001 season finals, Tyrone Lue was used as a defensive surprise. The experience of being arranged by Zen Master to guard against Iverson was enough to explain everything.
"He was teammates with Kobe and Jordan. He even coached LeBron James. This guy's life is really exciting ~"
Chen Hao felt envious when he thought of Tyrone Lu's experience in the future.
He had transmigrated too late and did not catch up with the era when Jordan was still playing in the league. Otherwise, he could have played against the basketball god on the court. Even if he lost, it would still feel good. Unfortunately, he did not have the chance.
Retracting his thoughts and gaze, his mission in this game was very simple. It was to defend against Tyrone Lue and lock down the opponent!
Who asked them to be point guards?
The match started soon.
On the other hand, the Laker's starting lineup was still the same as the previous game. Mihm was paired up with Kouame Brown in the paint. Odom was in the front, while Chen Hao and Kobe were in charge of the back line. If Mihm was replaced with Brian Cook, who was good at three-pointers, the threat of the Laker's starting lineup would be even greater.
Unfortunately, Cook's physical condition was average and he could not be the team's starter.
His gaze shifted to the Eagles. Their lineup was as follows:
Center: Zazar Pachulia, height 211cm
[Power Forward: El Harrington, 206cm tall]
Small Forward: Josh Childress, 203cm tall
Shooting guard: Joe John, height 201cm
Point Guard: Tyrone Lue, 183cm tall
Among the tall players, Tyrone Lue looked very petite, but no one dared to underestimate this guy's fighting spirit and strength.
After all, he was a point guard with an average of 11 5 points per game. His scoring and assisting abilities were above average, not to mention that this guy's defensive enthusiasm was extremely high.
After the two teams made their debut, the match quickly began.
Relying on his explosive strength, Kuame Brown easily beat Pachulia in the jump. Chen Hao paid special attention to the latter's feet and found that there were no excessive movements. He couldn't help but sigh in relief.
Stepping dregs were not just random names.
The Los Angeles Clippers attacked and dribbled past half of the court. Standing at the top of the three-point line, Chen Hao looked at Kobe, who was being guarded by Joe Smith, and Tyrone Lue, who was two steps away from him and looked like he was trying to defend against a sudden attack. Chen Hao had a strange expression on his face.
Why was he giving her so much face?
The skill he had just bought was actually coming in handy. Chen Hao had originally planned to let Kobe play a few rounds in a single game to completely attract the opponent's defensive attention before he tried to shoot a three-pointer.
After all, his three-point shooting ability was mainly suitable for situations where there was an empty spot.
Now that Tyrone Lu did not look like he was going to step forward to defend himself, Chen Hao suddenly felt that happiness had come too suddenly. He subconsciously said,"
"If you don't come over, I'm going to vote ~"
"Go ahead ~" Tyrone Lu said confidently.
As a short point guard, his defensive attitude had always been very correct. He would watch the opponent's video before the game.
Tyrone Lu knew Chen Hao very well. He was a defensive player. He scored all his points on layups. Three-pointers and whatnot were all done with.
After all, Chen Hao's ability to control the ball had been fully displayed in the first three regular season games.
Unlike other players who relied on their body and rhythm to change or change direction, Chen Hao's breakthrough relied on his ball control skills to break through. The effect was good. It could only be said that his ball control ability was too strong.
Facing such an opponent who did not shoot and had a good breakthrough, it was the safest choice to put two steps to defend against the breakthrough.
Anyway, that was what Tyrone Lou thought.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of going forward, Chen Hao did not hesitate. Under the surprised gazes of his teammates, he raised his hand and shot three points. His movements were very clean and neat.
"You voted just like that?"
Kobe, who understood Chen Hao's abilities the best in the entire Alliance, was a little surprised, but he did not blame him.
He had been hinting at Chen Hao to participate more in the offense and not to always put all his energy on the defensive end. It was a waste of his good ball control and passing ability.
Now that Chen Hao was taking the initiative to attack, Kobe was relieved even if the basketball did not go in. It showed that his advice was useful. His little brother was quite obedient.
While thinking about this, Kobe's gaze was focused on the basketball. He watched as it reached the top of the basket and fell straight into it.
"Swoosh ~"
A three-pointer!
Kobe: " Just like that?"
