NBA: I really just want to make money

The winning streak is very sweet, but it also puts a lot of pressure on all members of the Lakers team.

Especially when the new season is already halfway through and the players have begun to enter a period of physical and mental exhaustion due to the ravages of the intensive schedule, this vague sense of tension is particularly obvious and will also have some adverse effects on the competitive state.

In this state, after breakfast the next day, the Lakers rushed to Indiana non-stop for back-to-back away games against the Pacers.

Since the retirement of legendary shooter Reggie Miller, this team has begun to revolve around O'Neal.

Besides that, there's Meta Walderpis...That was Ron Artest later, and Charity World Peace, a fierce player who always liked to show off with a new name and enter a new life in the team.

In addition, there are also outstanding players such as Wu Sheng, Stephen Jackson, and Fred Jones to assist.

This makes it possible that even without Reggie Miller as their spiritual leader, the Pacers' record has declined, but they can still enter the playoffs stably.

The overall strength is still at the upper level in the Eastern Conference. This year, they obtained potential players such as Danny Granger through the draft, and the future is promising.

This is undoubtedly a difficult opponent to deal with, but this team is currently in turmoil.

Meta Voldepis was traded to the Kings in exchange for Peja Stojakovic. This made Kobe originally worried about this game, fearing that his little brother would be beaten on the court. Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

The old boy Metana is so easily angered that no one can guess what he will do on the court in the next second.

James Harden, who later became famous in the league, expressed his deep understanding.

But what I have to admit is that Meta Walderpis is very good, especially on the defensive end. He has a fierce reputation and is full of intimidation.

When encountering players who are less timid, they don't even dare to play against him.

If it weren't for his impulsive personality and always doing some irrational behavior, the Pacers would not be willing to trade such a good offensive and defensive player, only to get a pure shooter.

Not only the changes in player transactions, the biggest difficulty for the Pacers now is that O'Neal, who is the core of the team and the biggest reliance on the inside, is injured and will be directly reimbursed for the regular season.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Pacers.

Now the regular season is only halfway through, and the team is only ranked sixth. Without the core, the game is really difficult to play.

Its head coach, Rick Carlisle, said the pressure was high.

Without the core inside, they have to rely more on the outside. This kind of opponent is exactly what the Lakers want.

After all, if they don't include Odom, their inside line is actually very poor.

Even if it is counted, it can only be regarded as average. After all, the left-handed magician prefers to play from the outside.

In this way, the two teams that focused on outside attack started a duel as scheduled that night. With the high morale of the winning streak, everyone thought that the Lakers were guaranteed to win this game, but the reality was not like that.

Continuous away games, coupled with the huge pressure of winning streak, made all the Lakers very exhausted physically and mentally, and the state of this game was very sluggish.

DUANG!

DUANG!

DUANG!

Seeing Kobe opening the game with a triple iron, and in the following rounds, Odom and Chris Mihm failed to convert their shots into points. Chen Hao suddenly felt so tired, and he felt like he was leading a group of others. The feeling of a blacksmith making iron

"Don't mess with me like this, it's just 15 consecutive wins, I don't want to lose like this," Chen Hao complained in his heart.

To be honest, if it weren't for the warmth of Stephen Jackson from the Pacers, who missed four consecutive shots, but Still desperate to score, they were probably already behind by more than ten points.

But even so, Chen Hao was very upset when looking at the 8:0 score on the scoreboard.

Since his teammates couldn't do it, then He had no choice but to do it by himself.

Facing Anthony Johnson's defense, Chen Hao suddenly changed direction after three threatening moves, rushed into the three-point line against his defense, took a European step, changed direction drastically again, and easily shook off Peja, who stepped forward on defense, hit a backhand layup.

~8:2, the Lakers broke their scoring drought.

The Pacers organized the offense, and when the offensive end was average, Kobe chose to contribute his strength on the defensive end, following Stephen Jackson without even giving him a chance to catch the ball. He devoted himself to the defense. Mamba is undoubtedly very scary.

After some passing, the ball finally fell into Peja's hands.

The knife fell from outside the three-point line, and the basketball hit the basket steadily.

"Swish~！"

Three point hit!

Raising his hand to receive the pass from the baseline, Chen Hao quickly advanced through the half court, staggered with Kobe in front of the Pacers' three-point line, and pretended to pass the ball to his opponent, but the basketball was still in his hands. Kobe had a tacit understanding. Help him block the defender.

Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and took a three-pointer.

The basketball flew through a tall and graceful arc and passed through the net.

""Shua~"

The sound of entering the Internet is always so beautiful

~5:11!

Still a six-point difference.

Chen Hao didn't notice that Peja Stojakovic looked at him strangely from the Pacers side.

"This guy's three-point shooting percentage is now ranked first in the league~" Peja felt a sense of competition in his heart.

When O'Neal was injured and he was new to the game, it was hard to compete with him for the ball. There is only Stephen Jackson. The key is that this guy is very poor tonight and has no desire to basketball.

Thinking of this, Peja feels that he can do whatever he wants and establish his position in this Pacers team.

On the basketball court , Strength is the main factor, whatever, it all depends on playing.

Just do what you say. In the next round, Peja began to actively run, relying on pick-and-rolls to get rid of Odom's defense, and directly raised the ball If you want the ball with your hand, the pass will come at the right time. You don’t need to adjust anything. You can hit a three-pointer by raising your hand.

"Bang~shua~"

The basketball hit the board and went into the basket. After scoring the goal, Peja glanced at Chen Hao with confidence.

Chen Hao naturally saw such an obvious provocation and passed the ball directly without saying anything. It was given to Kobe, and he started running.

Controlling the ball outside the three-point line, Kobe suddenly jumped up after taking a few steps inside, and moved the ball horizontally in a wide range, sending the basketball just outside the three-point line. In the hands of the standing Chen Hao.

Without waiting for the defender to come forward, he quickly shot a three-pointer.

Seeing the basketball falling steadily into the net, Chen Hao gave Kobe a thumbs up, then turned around and returned to defense, without even going. Pay attention to Peja's gaze.

This made the latter very dissatisfied. After all, he was also an All-Star, but he was ignored by a first-year rookie, saying that he couldn't swallow this breath.

Ever since, in the following rounds, Chen Hao and Peja scored three points, which caused cheers from the fans and spectators in the arena. In the United

States, where individual heroism is prevalent, what they like to watch most is this kind of one-on-one scoring feast.

Chen Hao and Peja's The positions are different, but the three-point style is very similar. They all get opportunities through movement and then shoot.

The difference is that Chen Hao's movement is better and his shooting speed is faster. He can often get rid of the defender and shoot. Before the defense comes over, throwing the basketball steadily is equivalent to an open shot, and the pressure is not great.

But Peja makes more use of his height and soft touch to make three-pointers. Many times In fact, he did not get rid of the defender.

As a direct result, his three-point shooting percentage is actually not outstanding. Until now, it has remained around 40%. In the small ball era of later generations, this is a team that cannot even compare to the center. The shooting percentage.

Of course, in different eras, basketball concepts and defensive intensity are different. It cannot be directly compared, but it can already explain certain problems.

Facing such an opponent, Chen Hao did not fail at all.

Nearly five minutes of Biao Within the same period, Chen Hao took 9 three-pointers and hit 6 of them. Including the previous layup, he scored 20 points in a single quarter in less than eight minutes, which was extremely shocking. He also created his highest single-quarter score.

In fact, all the Lakers' current scores are from his hands.

Standing a few steps away, Kobe looked at the high-spirited Chen Hao, his eyes were a little dazed. For several months Before, this was just a rookie who couldn't score a single point in his hands, but now he has grown to the point where he can score 20 points in a single quarter.

Although there is a factor that the opponent's defensive players are too weak, it is still amazing enough. You know, even Kobe himself can't guarantee that he can score 20 points in a single quarter after ensuring the right to shoot.

Chen Hao's growth rate is shocking!

"I can’t lose to my younger brother, I have to work harder!"Kobe's expression was determined.

He was exuding a vigorous fighting spirit!

His eyes shifted to Chen Haobiao's direct opponent, Peja Stojakovic. He took the same 9 shots, but in front of his good brother Odom Despite sparing no effort in defense, he only scored 4 points. Including the score before the Biao score, he currently scored 16 points, which is obviously behind Chen Hao.

"Your strength is very good, but I am stronger, keep working hard, the future belongs to you~"

After leaving these few words, Chen Hao quickly returned to his own half, leaving a confused look on his face. Jia.

God, the future belongs to me. I am 28 years old now, and you, a rookie, are only 21 years old. If you really want to discuss the future, it is not mine!

Peja reacted in a very depressed mood.

The game will not Therefore, the Pacers stopped attacking. Just when Anthony Johnson habitually wanted to pass the ball to Peja, Chen Hao did not let him succeed this time. He suddenly stepped forward, reached out with his right hand, and the basketball He directly stabbed him away.

Kobe, who was a few steps away, reacted quickly. After bending down to pick up the basketball, he rushed straight to the frontcourt, resisted the defender's follow-up, and dunked with two hands to score.

This dunk seemed to open Kobe's Ren Du's performance was average. In the following period of the first quarter, Kobe scored 12 points on sudden inside and outside shots. Together with Chen Hao, they accounted for most of the Lakers' scoring in the first quarter....Except for the two of them, only Odom scored 2 points, and the others had zero points.

After a bad start and falling behind, the Lakers scored 34 points in the first quarter, leading the Pacers by 7 points.

Chen Hao scored 20 points, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 rebound in a single quarter, becoming the best player in the first quarter.

The second quarter of the game started quickly, Chen Hao continued to play, and the player guarding him became Danny Granger, this year's No. 17 rookie, a forward with wide shooting range and sharp defense.

But after all, this is only his first season in the league. Although the pressure on him is much greater than that of Anthony Johnson, and he can keep up with Chen Hao's footsteps and movements, his defensive experience is relatively lacking.

Instead of making three-point shots, Chen Hao began to change his strategy, frequently cutting inside to catch the ball, directly driving for layups, or after attracting defensive double-teams, passing the ball out, with excellent results.

Vujacic finally showed his value in this game. Instead of arranging his hair that made people want to shave it all, he hit three consecutive three-pointers from outside the three-point line, allowing Bynum in the penalty area to win. There is a relatively ample scoring space, and after eating several cakes, I feel very happy.

The little sharks at this stage are still very easy to coax.

For the Pacers, Fred Jones and David Harrison performed well. When Granger was closely guarded by Chen Hao and had no chance to make a move, they stepped forward in time, keeping the situation on the court constant. They are all in a state of balance.

With the return of the main players on both sides, this balance was quickly broken as Kobe and Odom recovered, and the rhythm returned to the Lakers' hands. After halftime, Chen Hao's assists had reached 8 , scored another 7 points in the second quarter and scored 27 points in the half.

Led the Lakers to lead the Pacers by 11 points entering the second half.

Halftime passed quickly...

At the beginning of the third quarter, Peja cheered up and scored three consecutive points, showing off his fangs.

Chen Hao did not let his opponent get used to him. He relied on pick-and-rolls and movement. When the opportunity arose, he also hit two three-pointers, which felt hot in his hand.

However, in the next few rounds, Peja continued to hit the iron. After Chen Hao missed a shot, he stopped running for three-pointers and began to assist his teammates to score more. Kobe became the biggest The beneficiary scored consecutive points on the court and was unstoppable.

The statistics of both of them are improving rapidly.

Seeing this, on the bench of the Lakers, Phil Jackson was in a very happy mood, but also a little surprised, because he found that Kobe was consciously changing his style of play, no longer like before, every offense. Hold the ball for a long time.

The last few games have been like this~

Chen Hao is more often allowed to control the ball, while Kobe has begun to try to play without the ball, consciously reducing the time he holds the ball. From now on, the effect is very good, after all His personal abilities lie here.

After changing his playing style, Kobe's statistics did not drop much, and his shooting percentage increased by several percentage points. He achieved mutually beneficial coexistence with Chen Hao, who was more and more accustomed to controlling the ball, dispatching and organizing the team's offense.

Phil Jackson, who had been worried about whether there would be a gap or even part ways between the two due to the issue of ball rights, was finally relieved at this moment, and began to think about how the team could go in the playoffs this season. How far is the question.

But when his eyes touched the team's inside players, he immediately felt heartbroken.

With such thoughts, the third quarter of the game ended quickly. The Big Three of the Lakers played well and scored 29 points in a single quarter. Coupled with the equally impressive performance of a number of role players, the team led the opponent by 16 points entering the final quarter.

Chen Hao rested for half a quarter before coming on the field, but the team was still leading by ten points.

Several strong breakthrough scores, coupled with assist scheduling, quickly stabilized the situation. Kobe scored 7 points in a row in the final stage, and Dom was strong inside and blocked the opponent's shots continuously, helping the team to determine the victory.

~16 wins achieved!

In this game, Chen Hao set a new personal scoring high, playing 41 minutes and scoring 40 points! He also had 13 assists, 4 steals, 2 baskets and 5 fouls. His performance was not bad.

After performing well in recent games, his personal average points per game has soared to 14.5 points, and his assists have reached double digits, reaching 10.3. In addition, he has 3.5 steals, ranking first on the rookie list. No one can shake his position!

He also became the first player since the 1980s to average double figures in points and assists per game in his rookie season!

For a time, it attracted great attention, overshadowing all the rookies in this class!

What people have to worry about is that in the next game, the Lakers will face the Hornets of Chris Paul, who is ranked second in the rookie list.

The latter has expressed his desire to compete with Chen Hao on the court more than once in front of reporters. This time the two are about to collide head-on, which undoubtedly satisfies his expectations and attracted a lot of attention.......
