"Hao really fought hard in the first half. After playing two full periods, he followed Jason closely throughout the game and did not relax for a moment. Even though he was repeatedly forced to break through, he never gave up.”
" Yeah, Hao's playing style is completely different from the Asian players I remember. Jason must have cursed Hao in his heart many times. He was entangled for two whole quarters under such high-intensity defense. It's scary just thinking about it."
" It's not just Jason. Vincent Carter was also severely restricted in this match. As long as Bryant is willing, his defensive ability is definitely the best in the league. There's no doubt that he's willing to defend with all his might in this match. From what I remember, Vincent only had one slam dunk in the entire first half, right?”
"It seems so. To be honest, it's a little unfortunate.”
" I think Bryant's dunks are also very beautiful. Unfortunately, in order to save energy, he no longer likes dunking as much as before. He will choose more energy-saving methods to score."
" Compared to dunks, I like Bryant's shots more. They're all difficult and really cool."
"By the way, don't you have any thoughts about Hao's slam dunk?”
" Although it's a little unkind, I have to say that Hao's slam dunk is really eye-catching."
"Ahahaha ~~"
“.......”
The audience discussed animatedly, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic. After all, their team was now in the lead, so their mood was naturally not bad.
The live commentators were analyzing some of the exciting scenes in the first half of the game, as well as the players who performed well. They also made predictions for the second half of the game, indicating that they were more optimistic about the Los Angeles team.
Other than the Three Musketeers, the Nets were useless.
Kostic, who had scored a few goals in the first quarter, seemed to have disappeared from the field after being targeted by the defense. He did not have any sense of existence at all.
Besides Kidd, who was still performing well among the three Musketeers, Cate and Jefferson were not in their best form for the game.
Anyway, it didn't pose much of a threat to the Clippers.
It would be difficult for a Nets team like this to win unless the state of the Laker team declined!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the halftime interval finally ran out, and the players from both sides appeared again under everyone's expectations.
Seeing that Ji De was still on the field and had no intention of resting, Chen Hao knew that he couldn't escape either, so he didn't plan to escape.
That was the truth. Phil Jackson directly arranged for him to be on the field to specifically mark Kidd.
Seeing this, Ji De expressed that he had a toothache.
When he thought about the scene of his fight with Chen Hao in the first half, a sense of resistance arose in his heart for no reason.
However, reality didn't give Kidd the chance to continue thinking.
The match soon began ~
Kobe was the first to ask for the ball, which made Kate nervous. He quickly adjusted his defensive posture, but he suddenly realized that Chen Hao did not care about Kobe's request for the ball at all.
Chen Hao relied on the pick-and-roll to break into the three-point line. With a backhand throw, the basketball fell into the hands of Brian Cook, who had an opportunity.
The latter decisively shot a three-pointer, and the basketball drew a tall arc in the air.
"Swoosh ~"
Hollow pocket ~
At the beginning of the second half, Cook used his own three points to help the team expand their lead to 10 points.
Recalling what Cook had told him before he went on stage, Chen Hao's lips curled into a smile.""This is also a restless host, but it doesn't matter. As long as you can score, I'll pass the ball to you ~"
Then, he ran over to Ji De.
The two sides once again engaged in entanglement mode. After the first two periods of the game, the fatigue in his body had not completely disappeared, causing Chen Hao's defensive strength to decrease.
However, at the same time, Kidd, who had always been under special care, was also not feeling well at this moment. His physical strength had not fully recovered.
After all, he wasn't young anymore ~
However, Kidd had never been a player who needed too much possession of the ball. He played equally well without the ball.
However, this match against Chen Hao, the famous running maniac in the league, left him speechless.
No matter how he moved, he would be followed.
Seeing this scene, Kate, who had the ball, chose to pass the ball to Harrison.
The latter played against Cook.
As a very standard forward player, Jefferson's ability to cut without the ball was extremely strong. His athletic ability and physical fitness were excellent, and his impact was outstanding. He was a good player who played quickly, but when both sides stood in position to attack, his performance was a little difficult.
After he rushed into the paint, he jumped up and prepared to slam dunk, but he was blocked by Odom.
Chen Hao controlled the ball and quickly crossed the half court. This time, he did not ignore Kobe's call for the ball.
After getting the ball, the Black Mamba rushed straight to the Nets 'penalty area and easily made a backhand layup.
Kate really could not defend against Kobe.
This was Kobe's 30th point of the game.
The fans who learned of this data were very excited. This was another feast of offense and scoring.
That was the truth. Kobe was in good shape in this game. In the next few rounds, he repeatedly used his personal ability to score.
His actions attracted the attention of everyone in the Nets.
This reduced the pressure on Chen Hao and the others on the offensive side.
It could be said that as long as Kobe was on the court, it was a contribution to the team as a whole.
No team or player would ignore Kobe's existence, nor would they dare to ignore him.
The Black Mamba was extremely lethal on the field.
Thanks to Kobe's excellent performance, Chen Hao had assisted many times. In just three quarters, his assist count had reached double digits.
On the other hand, Kidd began to increase the number of shots he made in a situation where neither Kate nor Jefferson could be relied on. His efficiency was good, but the overall offensive state of the Nets was very average.
At the end of the three quarters, the Los Angeles team's lead had reached 14 points, which undoubtedly increased the pressure on Kidd.
At the beginning of the last quarter, he used his personal ability to continuously attack Chen Hao, but he could not convert it into points.
Kobe and Chen Hao, who had read Kidd's mind, cooperated well with each other. Every time they double-teamed Kidd, Kidd's shooting rate dropped significantly.
It was like this twice in a row. Kidd was not stupid. He no longer insisted on individual offense. Instead, he passed the ball to Kate as soon as he attracted Kobe's defense.
However, in this match, Kate's feel was only average, and his hit rate was a little miserable.
The other swordsman, Jackson, seemed to be dissatisfied with being blocked by Odom and was too obsessed with dunking.
Odom was not going to let this guy get away with it. In a situation where he did not feel good on the offensive end, the left-handed magician chose to play his strength on the defensive end, and the effect was very good.
Anyway, even if you couldn't block it, you would still foul and get a free throw. It just wouldn't make you feel comfortable!
Learning from Chen Hao ~
"I won't take the blame!"
As such, the advantage of the game had always been in the hands of the Los Angeles Clippers. The Nets had never been able to get close to the score.
As a result, the Nets became more and more anxious.
It couldn't be helped. As the match time grew shorter and shorter, their team was trailing by more than ten points. Even the veteran of the Alliance, Kidd, who had top-notch control of the rhythm, began to make a series of mistakes.
Especially in the direct confrontation with Chen Hao, he was no longer as calm as before.
After grinding for almost the entire game, Chen Hao finally saw hope of suppressing Kidd. He gritted his teeth and persisted, continuing his high-intensity dog-like tight defense.
"Phew... Phew... What a troublesome fellow ~"
In the middle of his offense and defense, Ji De was caught off guard and the basketball was taken away by Chen Hao from behind. He suddenly turned around and prepared to catch up to Chen Hao's pace, but he felt as if his legs were filled with lead. Looking at Chen Hao's rapidly disappearing back, Ji De's face was filled with a bitter smile, and his heart was filled with emotions…
"It's good to be young ~"
Chen Hao made a layup and scored, raising his score to 11 points. He also had 13 assists, three rebounding, two steals, and four fouls. His performance on the team was second only to Kobe, who had scored more than 40 points.
Chen Hao's interception of Kidd and his continuous scoring was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
In the following minutes of the last quarter, the Nets lost their previous sharpness.
On the other hand, the Clippers began to control the field and improve their success rate. They did not attack and defend as frequently as before.
Under such circumstances, Kate seized the opportunity to deduct a few, adding some color to the dull match that lasted less than three minutes.
In the end, the Laker played at home and fought fiercely for three and a half quarters before finally taking down Kidd's Nets.
The moment the final whistle sounded, Chen Hao felt like he was going to collapse.
" It's finally over. If this continues, I might just collapse on the field."
Chen Hao looked as if he had just been fished out of the water. His entire body was soaked in sweat, but his gaze was still incomparably firm.
More than ten thousand people were watching. Chen Hao expressed that he could not afford to lose face. Even if he had to hold on, he had to hold on until he was out of the audience's sight.
Our brother Hao is a decent person
" I have to save money as soon as possible to upgrade the perpetual motion machine." Chen Hao made a decision in his heart.
Just as he was about to leave, Ji De's voice came from behind…
"Hao, you won in the end ~"
"I said we would win this match ~" Chen Hao laughed.
" This time, you have the home-field advantage. We'll take revenge the next time we're in New jersey."
" No, we'll definitely win!"
"Then let's wait and see ~"
"Alright ~"
Chen Hao smiled and hugged Ji De.
As the strongest opponent he had ever met since joining the Alliance, although Chen Hao was very rude to him on the field, he still respected this old veteran who had always been very awesome.
Similarly, Kidd admired Chen Hao, a rising star. If Kobe hadn't been watching the situation from a few steps away, he would have asked Chen Hao to join the Nets.
As the hottest rookie in the Alliance, Chen Hao's situation was no longer a secret.
Chen Hao only signed a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Clippers for 450,000 dollars a year. If he didn't complete the contract extension, Chen Hao would be a free agent next season. He could go to any team he wanted, and the team didn't have to pay too much.
Such a top-notch role player did not need to pay a high price. Presumably, no team would reject him.
After exchanging jerseys, Kidd left the arena under Kobe's watchful gaze.
Watching Kidd leave, Chen Hao looked down at the jersey in his hand. His expression was calm, but he felt a little helpless.
"What use do I have for your jersey?”
Chen Hao was disgusted by the sweaty jersey. He was not a collector.
At this moment, seeing Kidd finally leave, Kobe walked up and asked directly,""What did Jason say to you just now?”
"It's nothing. It's just some words of encouragement, and it also vaguely expressed that it wants me to join the Nets ~"
Without waiting for Kobe to speak, Chen Hao continued firmly,""But I don't have any intention of leaving the Laker. I'm prepared to stay by your side for three championships before considering whether to leave. You won't let me down, right?”
"How can three championships be enough…"
Kobe's eyes were firm.”
