NBA: I really just want to make money

That night, the China Derby, which attracted great attention, kicked off in the Toyota Center Arena.

CCTV Sports Channel immediately broadcast the game

"Audience friends, good morning everyone, today we bring you the game between the Lakers and the Rockets. Today, the guest commentator in the studio is the very familiar Director Zhang...."

"Hello everyone."Director Zhang smiled and said hello. With the familiar opening remarks, the CCTV Sports Channel broadcast screen timely switched to the Lakers team members who were walking out of the aisle. Seeing that Chen Hao was still the third to last player on the team, The voice of the commentator sounded at the right time......

"Director Zhang, you previously took the filming team to Los Angeles to conduct an exclusive interview with Chen Hao. What is your impression of him?"

"Chen Hao is not only a talented basketball player, but also has no arrogance like a talented player in terms of personality. We get along very happily. I believe that he will be able to carry the banner of the Chinese men's basketball guard line in the future and compete with Yao Yao. Let’s lead the men’s basketball team to a historic breakthrough together!"

Recalling the previous contact with Chen Hao in Los Angeles, Director Zhang showed unabashed admiration. In his heart, he was a little helpless. Such an excellent player was not recruited into the national team at the first time, and was once The news of the domestic blockade has not been restored until recently, which is very chilling.

At this time, Director Zhang's words aroused widespread discussion among the fans in front of the TV.~

"It’s so enviable that I actually had close contact with Brother Hao!"

"It can be seen that Director Zhang likes Brother Hao very much, but I don’t know if he will change from Ke Mi to Hao Chui in this game."

"Hahaha, I'm looking forward to Director Zhang's surrender. Brother Hao is awesome and can't explain."

"Yao is mighty, the combination of Yao and Mai is invincible"

"Look, Dayao is out!"

"Wow, I’ve been waiting so hard for the birds to fall to the ground, I’m finally going to compete on the same stage!"

"....."

At the same time, in the Toyota Center Arena, as the Rockets finished their appearance, the two teams started their final simple warm-up. Chen Hao and Dayao naturally stood together. They had always been in contact by phone. Suddenly, I didn't feel embarrassed when I was face to face.

Being able to meet compatriots in the NBA, with the same skin color and the same language gives them an unparalleled sense of identity. It makes people feel more cordial!

"Haozi, you are still great. I originally thought that after telling the Basketball Association about those conditions, they would refuse without hesitation, but they just said that they would go back and discuss it. Now they have relaxed the restrictions on you in China. It feels like there is a chance!"Dayao seemed very excited.

In contrast, Chen Hao was undoubtedly much calmer:"I will definitely not go wrong by following you, Brother Hao. It just so happens that you can also take this opportunity to revise the treaty signed before."

"Damn Brother Hao, I'm several years older than you, so I'm the elder brother."

Rolling his eyes at Chen Hao, Dayao did not dwell on this topic, and continued:"I understand what you are talking about. Team Yao has officially started to contact the Basketball Association, and there will be results soon. Is this considered a blessing from you?"

There was a hint of gratitude in his words, but his tone immediately changed:"But don't expect me to let this game go."

"There is no need for you to give up, we will definitely win this game."Chen Hao said confidently.

Dayao shook his head:"Just wait and see, we will definitely win."

"Then we will see the real results on the field~" Chen Hao laughed.

Dayao also had the same attitude:"Well, we will see the real results on the field."

After a friendly hug, Chen Hao turned around helplessly and walked to his own half after they separated. He hugged a big man who was 1.96 meters tall and 2.26 meters tall. The difference in size was very obvious. He felt like a little bird. Human-like cuteness...

This is really shit!

Soon, Kobe also finished communicating with McGrady. It was obvious that the relationship between the two was very good.

When being interviewed in his previous life, Kobe regarded Tracy McGrady as his strongest opponent more than once. The latter also respected and recognized Kobe very much. The two of them can be said to be heroes who cherish heroes!

After greeting each other, both sides returned to their own half.

During the warm-up period, the Lakers and Rockets did not make any provocative behavior and seemed very harmonious. However, the fans and spectators could clearly feel that the fighting spirit of the two people was very high... because the Rockets were playing at home. , Dayao returned from injury and successfully returned to the game. It is completely understandable that his morale is high.

But the Lakers, who were playing away from home, had their winning streak ended by the Mavericks in the last game. Logically speaking, they should be in a state of low morale, but the mental state displayed by the players during the warm-up period was amazing.

This doesn't look like a team that just lost recently. The game should be very fierce.

The warm-up period is over and the players from both sides come on stage.

The Lakers still have the starting lineup from the last game. Chris Mihm, who was expected to come back in this game, failed to play, which made the team's inside strength not reach its optimal state.

Kwame Brown, whose performance has become more and more stable and outstanding recently, has become the Lakers' biggest support inside, which is very helpless.

In this game, Kwame Brown will face off against Dayao. No matter how you look at it, he will be completely defeated.

It's a sad conclusion.

Looking back at the Rockets, the team's lineup has also undergone certain changes compared to the last matchup. Dayao and Juwan Howard partnered in the post, Tracy McGrady small forward, David Wesley and Alston formed the back line.

After the two sides established their positions, the game soon began

""Beep~"

As soon as the whistle sounded, Kwame Brown reacted quickly. He immediately jumped up on the spot, stretched out his arms as hard as he could, and was about to dial the basketball to his own half, but Yao, who was taller, touched him first. To the basketball.

The Rockets took the lead in organizing the offense and rushed in immediately. They closely guarded Alston. The street ball king's ability to control the ball was undoubted. He did not give Chen Hao a chance to steal. He could only follow closely and try his best to keep his pace.

Under the all-out defense, the advancement speed was very slow. Impatient with being pestered, Stone said bluntly:"Do you dare to let me go?"

"Do you dare to let me steal once?"Chen Hao asked back

"....."Alston was silent.

After realizing that McGrady stepped forward to respond, he passed the ball directly.

Damn it, if you really do this, you may not be able to survive in the team in the future.

However, Mike James was too willful on the court, which aroused McGrady's dissatisfaction and was directly traded.

Well, in exchange for Alston himself.

His eyes shifted to the point where he was holding the ball.

Kobe was blocking McGrady head-on. The latter held the ball with one hand and put it behind his back, his eyes as if he hadn't woken up.

The duel between the two super scorers was very exciting. Chen Hao was hesitating whether he should double-team him, but after seeing Kobe's serious look and his all-out defense, he Just gave up on the idea.

Let the Black Mamba have a good time on the court. Yesterday's defeat made this guy suppress a lot of anger.

It just so happened that I met a powerful opponent this time and could let him vent his anger.

"Even Tracy McGrady shouldn't be able to easily defeat Kobe in this state~" Chen Hao thought.

His movements were not slow at all, and he followed Alston closely, not giving him a chance to get out of the open space.

Alston:"How dare you not let go!"

At the same time, McGrady had already launched an offensive, forcing Kobe Bryant into the three-point line. Without completely getting rid of the defense, he stopped and made a mid-range shot. His movements were graceful and elegant, his jumping height was enviable, and his eyes were killing. Full of interest.....It's a pity that I didn't make it.

But Yao grabbed an offensive rebound over Kwame Brown's head and scored a layup.

~2:0!

The height advantage is too great!

In the transition between offense and defense, the Lakers organized an offense. After receiving the ball from the baseline, Chen Hao controlled the ball for a few times and passed the ball to Kobe, who had been asking for the ball for a long time.

After all, he is the boss of the team, so he still has to give him some face.

Although Alston who was guarding him looked average in defense, he seemed to be very capable of breaking out.

"The game has just begun, and there are many opportunities after that."

Looking at Alston thoughtfully, Chen Hao began to run.

Soon, two figures were flying in every corner of the Rockets half....

The fans and audience in front of the TV immediately sighed......

"The King of Streetball was in such a miserable state. He rushed slowly throughout the entire half without daring to relax at all, but the distance continued to widen. It was so hard."

"There is no way, Brother Hao's open three-pointer is too accurate. The reason why the Mavericks were able to beat the Lakers in the last game is that Kobe Bryant's own condition is average, and on the other hand, Brother Hao's three-point ability is restricted, so he can only The effect of strong penetration into the paint again and again is definitely not as good as three-pointers."

"Three points is more accurate than two points, no one else"

"The Mavericks played too targeted, restricting Hao and Kobe. The rest of the Lakers were in average shape and their shooting percentages were ridiculously low. It is reasonable for the Lakers to lose."

"I wonder if the Rockets will target the Lakers so much in this game."

"It should be possible. After all, the Rockets definitely want to win."

"....."

Amid the discussion, the contest between Kobe and Tracy McGrady was over. Yesterday's extra practice seemed to have worked. The Black Mamba turned around and hit a fadeaway jumper, scoring two points for the Lakers.

The ball returned to the Rockets' side again. Before Alston could catch the ball, Chen Hao was already pressing forward.

In desperation, he had to give up controlling the ball and ran towards the frontcourt. David Wesley controlled the ball for half the court. After looking at the situation on the court and Cook who was waiting in front of him, he did not choose to do it himself. Instead, he moved the ball into the penalty area.

Dayao took the ball and leaned against Kwame Brown. During the continuous rhythm changes, he shifted his center of gravity, turned around and shot, and the basketball hit the board and went into the basket.

Kwame Brown has no way to deal with this. Yao's shooting point is too high and his rhythm is too good, making it completely impossible to defend.

Only those who have personally fought against Dayao can truly feel the terror of the Chinese giant.

He has exquisite offensive skills, has relatively stable mid-to-long-range shooting ability, does not suffer from internal physical confrontation, and can rely on opponents to post up singles....

Coupled with the height advantage and a free throw shooting rate of more than 80% all year round, even the top insiders in the league cannot guarantee that they can guard Dayao.

Not to mention Kwame Brown, who can only be regarded as a blue-collar interior defender of moderate interest. For a player like Yao with diverse playing styles and a very soft touch, he has never had a good defensive method.

~At 2:4

, the ball fell into the hands of the Lakers again. This time, Chen Hao did not directly pass the ball to Kobe. Instead, he made a fake pass and then used his feet to directly force Alston and step on the European step. Inside the restricted area.

Dayao, who stepped forward like a mountain, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked right and passed to the left, passing the ball without looking at anyone, and sent the basketball to Odom's hands.

The latter didn't pause at all. Taking advantage of Dayao's lack of reaction, he jumped up and scored a dunk.

Dayao was reduced to a background

~44

"This pass is really beautiful, the timing is just right."Director Zhang's eyes were filled with admiration.

The host next to him also had the same expression.

Excellent sense of rhythm, top ball control, and precise passing......Chen Hao has talents that no domestic defender in China has.

If Odom had been replaced by Dayao in that ball just now, the scene would have been so beautiful.

It can only be said that every time they see Chen Hao perform wonderfully on the court, the more they look forward to the scene where he and Dayao will cooperate with the national team.

The game on the court did not stop. McGrady was not feeling well at the beginning, but Dayao was in excellent form. The Rockets directly focused on the inside and launched an offensive from the inside out, and the effect was very good.

A healthy Yao is like a nuclear weapon in the penalty area. Not only can he attack on his own, but he can also contain the opponent's defensive system and create offensive opportunities for his teammates.

It can be said that the Lakers' current inside lineup configuration cannot suppress their performance at all.

The only thing that can limit Dayao's performance is Dayao's own touch and physical ability.

As a giant with a height of 2.26 meters and a yellow body, he is not a loser like Chen Hao. Every time Dayao runs back and forth on the court, it will put a lot of load on his body. , the physical consumption is particularly obvious.

This makes Dayao's average time per game in the first three seasons only about 30 minutes. This season, due to the needs of the team's tactics, while gaining weight, his playing time has been increased to 34 minutes, which has caused a lot of damage to his body. A huge burden.

It directly led to a big toe injury at the beginning of the season, and he just recently returned.

Weight gain and playing time are undoubtedly the major reasons for Dayao's injuries.

To be honest, if Chen Hao were the head coach of the Rockets, he would definitely not let Dayao blindly gain weight and focus on the inside. With Dayao's height and technical characteristics, he can definitely try a more flexible style of play. Not just post-ups, which greatly limits his talents.

But the reality cannot be changed~

The game continues on the court. Kobe was in excellent form in the first quarter, with a shooting percentage of over 50%. This made Chen Hao very pleased. The hard work of practicing with him last night was not in vain. by.

Not only Kobe, the Lakers' competitive state has fully recovered in this game. Odom and Cook both have good touch. When the Rockets follow the same example and impose multi-player restrictions on Chen Hao's movement, the two have repeatedly The ball was caught and the shot was scored.

In a single quarter of the game, Chen Hao scored 4 points, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 rebound.

Kobe had 12 points in a single quarter, Odom had 6 points, Kukic had 8 points, and Kwame Brown had 0 points and 6 rebounds. The Lakers scored 30 points in a single quarter.

Looking back at the Rockets, Dayao showed his dominance in the first quarter and was very excited to face Chen Hao's Lakers. He played 10 minutes and 8 seconds in a single quarter, making 9 of 11 shots and 2 free throws. Hit 2 and scored 20 points in a single quarter, setting a new personal scoring record in a single quarter.

Tracy McGrady, the core of the team's outside line, performed a bit in this game, and his efficiency was average. He only scored 2 points in a single quarter.

In addition, other players scored a total of 8 points, and the Rockets also scored 30 points.

After the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 30:30!
