"I don't think Hao's defensive ability is as good as you say. He's a seriously overrated player. In the next game against the Los Angeles Clippers, I'll use my way to prove this point.”
At this point in the new season, Chen Hao could contribute 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounding, 7.9 assists, and an amazing 4.7 steals per game. He also had an average of five fouls per game. Many people were very curious as to why Chen Hao's fouls would increase rapidly every time they entered the last quarter.
They had clearly carefully controlled the number of fouls in the first three quarters, but once the team's momentum was set in the last quarter, they would make fouls from time to time.
However, because he had never committed six offenses before, the crowd did not think too much about it. They just treated it as Chen Hao's personal fault.
Chen Hao's other statistics were excellent, making him the best rookie player in the Best Rookie rankings, second only to Chris Paul. He was currently ranked second, higher than both Bryant and Deron Williams.
For a player who entered the league through a non-draft method, Chen Hao could be said to be particularly eye-catching, even legendary.
Such a performance not only attracted a lot of attention in the United States, but it also received a lot of praise in China.
As Big Yao became famous in the NBA, where basketball was the most intense, more and more Chinese people began to pay attention to basketball, love basketball, and engage in basketball.
With a deeper understanding of basketball, the fans and audience were worried about the situation of their national team.
This was because they couldn't find a defender in the country who could share the pressure for Big Yao and give him effective help.
The national team did not lack big players inside the line, but they lacked a defender who could control the ball steadily on the field.
Never before ~
But now, Chen Hao had appeared out of nowhere and performed very well on the field, which directly triggered a heated discussion and attention in the country.
This was the last piece of the puzzle for the Chinese men's basketball team. It was the light of hope for the Chinese defenders.
Coupled with the many broadcasts on the sports channel and the recording of the Los Angeles Clippers 'games, Chen Hao's popularity grew.
Especially during this period of time, Chen Hao's popularity in the country could be said to be second to none. The only basketball star who could suppress him was Big Yao.
As for why it had grown so quickly, it could only be said that looks were really important to a public figure.
Yan was just so willful. Chen Hao had attracted a large number of female fans in the country.
What made people laugh and cry was that most of these female fans followed Chen Hao because they were accompanying their boyfriends or when their husbands watched the Los Angeles Clippers game.
After that, they spontaneously spread the news about Chen Hao to each other, causing the number of his female fans to increase at a visible rate.
Being handsome is also a kind of trouble ~
After hearing Marbury's remarks, the Chinese fans who loved Chen Hao and even regarded him as the second light of basketball were immediately unhappy. They began to support Chen Hao and attack Marbury.
Chen Hao, who was far away in America, did not know about this for the time being. After hearing Marbury's remarks, he appeared very calm.
Indeed, there was nothing to be angry about.
Facts speak louder than words. Even if Marbury said it to the heavens, he couldn't deny that Chen Hao's statistics were indeed beautiful. He was indeed ranked first on the steals list and second on the Best Rookie list. These were facts that he couldn't change.
However, the emperor was not anxious, but the eunuch was.
As Chen Hao's number one and number two dogs on the team, Bynum and Turiaf directly scolded Marbury during training. Even the rest of the team, including Kobe and Odom, felt a sense of common hatred. The team's fighting spirit was extremely high.
"Am I that popular in the team? "Why does it feel like everyone wants to stand up for me?" Chen Hao expressed his doubt.
But his heart was warm. The atmosphere of the team was really gratifying.
Phil Jackson, who was on the sidelines, was naturally aware of this situation. He could not help but think about whether he should spend some money to get the reporters to guide the opposing players to say some slanderous words about Chen Hao when he met a strong opponent in the future, so as to stimulate the team's fighting spirit.
I feel that this method is very reliable ~
"Old man, be a human!"
It wasn't just the Chinese fans, but also the Los Angeles fans. They were also very dissatisfied with Marbury's denial of their players. They were the only ones who could scold their players.
Even after Kobe publicly supported Chen Hao, this small incident that was originally just Marbury's talk directly escalated into a conflict between the Los Angeles Clippers and the New York Knicks. It became more and more intense and attracted widespread attention.
At this point, Chen Hao was no longer the only one who was affected. The entire team was on the cusp of the storm.
As a result, when the Knicks arrived in Los Angeles, extreme fans directly cursed and surrounded the bus they were on.
Especially Marbury. All sorts of curses and curses kept coming, which infuriated Lone Wolf. His expression turned ugly as he made up his mind to beat up Chen Hao!
It could be said that the competition had yet to start, but the smell of gunpowder was already very strong. Even the sports channel was broadcasting it live.
The overall impact was still no longer an ordinary regular season game.
Facing the league's veteran All-Star point guard, Stephon Marbury, if Chen Hao could play his own style, then he could step on Marbury's " corpse " to gain more attention and recognition after the game. He might even go further in the competition for the Best Rookie.
After all, Paul's current data was only 16 7 5. The overall data was not much different. Chen Hao had the possibility of catching up.
If he was beaten by Marbury, or even if the team lost the game, Chen Hao, who had just improved in the league, might be forced to the ground. If he wanted to stand up again, the effort needed would multiply.
Therefore, whether it was an individual or the team itself, they could not lose this game!
The match soon began.
The starting lineup of the Los Angeles Clippers is still the same
On the Knicks 'side, Eddie Curry and Antonio Davis were in the paint. UCLA's Alumni Ariza was the small forward, Quentin Richardson was the shooting guard, and Stephen Marbury was the point guard.
Marbury was undoubtedly the absolute core of this lineup.
However, the Knicks had been determined to make a mess of things since the start of the season. Even though the lineup was not weak, the team's record was impressive. They had 2 wins and 5 losses and were ranked last in the Eastern Conference.
It was hard to tell what confidence Marbury had in mocking the Western Conference's number one starting point guard.
However, thanks to his remarks about Chen Hao, the rest of the Knicks seemed to be more serious in this game. They were not as stupid as they were in the previous games. After all, everyone wanted to save face. The team boss had said so. If they lost too badly, it would be very embarrassing.
"Beep ~"
When the whistle sounded, Kuame Brown was very focused. The moment the basketball reached the highest point, he jumped up immediately and used the advantage of half a palm to send the ball to his own half. The Los Angeles team took the lead in attacking.
Faced with Marbury's forward rush, Chen Hao steadily controlled the ball to reach the three-point line, not giving the opponent any chance to steal.
"Newbie, do you dare to fight me one-on-one?”Marbury provoked.
Battle intent burst forth from his eyes.
Marbury, who had always been reluctant to defend, did not hold back on the defensive end this time.
Feeling the defensive pressure from his opponent, Chen Hao smiled."" One-on-one is no problem, of course, but I want the team to win more."
As he spoke, the dribbling speed suddenly increased, and the basketball turned into an illusion between his fingertips and the ground.
Marbury's eyes could not help but shrink when he saw this, and he immediately put away the contempt in his heart.
At the same time, the rest of the players on the court pulled away.
This was a treatment that usually only Kobe could enjoy, but this time, the main character was Chen Hao. The fans and audience inside and outside the stadium, as well as the commentators, were all very surprised. They stared at the screen, afraid that they would miss any detail.
"Bang! Bang!"
After dribbling the ball twice, Chen Hao suddenly started. After a series of feints and rhythm changes, he forced his way into the three-point line, causing Marbury to quickly take a few steps back. He followed closely to the side and did not lose his defensive position.
"This is the first time I've seen Marbury defend so seriously.”
This was the true reflection of the hearts of the Knicks.
Relying on his top-notch ball control ability, even if Marbury did not break away from the defense and tried to steal the ball again and again, Chen Hao still firmly controlled the ball. After entering the penalty area, he used his height and wingspan advantage to score a layup.
Marbury expressed that he didn't have a good way to deal with this.
He roused his spirit and prepared to launch a fierce attack.
However, Chen Hao would not let his opponent receive the ball so easily. The layup that he had just done on the offensive end was only an appetizer. The defensive end was where he could show his skills.
After scoring, Chen Hao didn't plan on going back to defend. He stood directly beside Marbury and stuck close to Lone Wolf, not giving him a chance to shake him off.
This made Davis, who was in charge of serving at the bottom line, very helpless. After waiting for two seconds and realizing that Marbury still could not shake off Chen Hao's entanglement, he had to pass the ball to Richardson.
The latter controlled the ball for half a court ~
" Damn it, why is he so difficult to deal with?" Marbury kept running, changing directions, running, and changing directions.
However, he helplessly realized that no matter how he ran, he could not shake off Chen Hao's entanglement. His heart instantly sank.
As a player who needed a lot of ball rights to play, Chen Hao's defensive strategy could be said to limit him from the root.
Without the ball in his hand, Marbury would not be able to display his strength even if he had thousands of skills.
Even more despairing was that Kobe immediately adopted an even more intense defense against Richardson. The Knicks 'defensive line felt the aggressive defensive posture of the Los Angeles Clippers as soon as the game started.
The offense was at a standstill.
Marbury, who couldn't bear to let his teammates help him with the pick-and-roll, could only run wildly with Chen Hao in the middle of the court.
This was the situation that Chen Hao was most willing to see. As long as he kept running, his physical strength could recover quickly. In general, his consumption was definitely less than Marbury's.
The gap might not be obvious in a short period of time, but when the game entered the second half, the opponent's physical fitness would most likely collapse.
Of course, Chen Hao himself was not feeling well either.
As the offense time ticked by, Richardson became more and more anxious. His technical movements changed, and he quickly made a mistake under Kobe's oppressive defense. He lost the ball and the Clippers quickly attacked.
Chen Hao took the ball and rushed straight to the front field. He resisted Marbury's defense and passed the ball without looking at anyone. The ball was sent to Odom, who was quickly going down from the right.
" Boom!" With a one-handed leather buckle, cheers exploded in the Staples Center.
Marbury ignored all of this and hurriedly ran to the end line. He took the basketball almost hand to hand and faced Chen Hao, who was still defending, with a cold expression."Brat, I'm going to beat you up!"
" I don't think you can do that."
Chen Hao replied indifferently and directly adopted a forward force-and-grab defense against Marbury.
