NBA: I really just want to make money
Chapter 133
One day later, the Lakers continued to play at home with the high morale of seven consecutive victories, facing the only wealthy team in the league that can compare with them in terms of historical heritage ~ the Boston Celtics.
Compared to the Lakers' sudden emergence this season and their impressive record ranking first in the league even though everyone was not optimistic about it, the Celtics have been stuck in the quagmire since the Bird era.
Even if they now have Paul Pierce who is at the peak of his career, even if they finally get rid of Ricky Davis, who has a high self-esteem, and trade Szczerbiak from the Timberwolves, even if the team There are also many excellent role players.
However, a record of 2 wins and 33 losses basically declared their failure this season. The Celtics, ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference, have been far behind the top eight in terms of wins.
Unless the teams at the top have a bad record and they can continue their winning streak, it will be difficult to make it to the playoffs.���
But in this season that has entered the final sprint stage, they are not the only team with high fighting spirit!
Just like this game, the Lakers launched a fierce attack from the beginning.
Under the continuous offensives of Kobe, Chen Hao, and Odom, even if Paul Pierce and Kobe turned on the scoring mode, the scoring efficiency was extremely high, scoring 46 points, the third-highest score in his career in a single game. , but still couldn't lead the team to victory.
Because the Big Three of the Lakers all performed well, Kobe scored 51 points in only 27 shots, Chen Hao had an efficient double-double with 19 points, 13 assists, 3 steals, and Odom also performed well with 15 points, 12 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 5 assists. , defeated the Celtics with the power of three people.
Eighth consecutive victory achieved as scheduled!
Pierce seemed very lonely after the game. The Celtics' performance this season has wasted his peak period. Even if they exchanged Szczerbiak, there is still no hope....An athlete can have a few years in his peak period, and one year wasted is one less year.
In this regard, Chen Hao didn't know how to speak. Could it be that after being lonely for more than a season, Ray Allen and Garnett would come to Boston to join you and form a terrifying lineup of the Big Three?
Well...that seems to have happened before. Now Chen Hao feels that after his arrival, it will definitely trigger some chain reactions.
I don't feel too unhappy at all. He will only get stronger and stronger in the future. Only the unknown can make things more interesting. If we just follow the original plot, then things will become too boring.
After a day off, it was still at the Staples Center. The Lakers played against the Magic. Chen Hao guarded Nelson to the point of doubting his life just like he did in the All-Star Game. It became very difficult to catch the ball, especially because of his explosive mentality. He received two technical fouls and was directly ejected.
Chen Hao has no sympathy for such people.
The enemy must be defeated!
While guarding his opponent, Chen Hao directly transformed into a cake delivery master. He played for 1 minute and delivered 18 assists, 7 steals, 5 rebounds, and 15 points.
Helping the team defeat the invading Magic team with a 27-point advantage, Warcraft finally couldn't laugh anymore after the game.
At this point, the games in March are over. The Lakers have won nine consecutive victories and their record is temporarily fixed at 52 wins and 5 losses. There are only 25 games left before the end of the regular season. The regular season has entered the final stage!
Just when everyone thought that the Lakers' winning streak would continue, in the first game in March, against the Trail Blazers, who were last in the Western Conference, no one thought that the Lakers would lose to such an opponent. Even Chen Hao and the others thought so too.
But the fact is......They lost!
~9399!
In this away game, the Lakers' overall shooting percentage was extremely low, only 33.2%, while the Trail Blazers' shooting rate was as high as 51%!
There are weak teams in the NBA, and competitive status is often more critical than paper strength. Even the team with the best record in the league may lose to the bottom team.
The Lakers used their own vivid examples to tell everyone about this situation.
The Trail Blazers became the sixth team to defeat the Lakers this season. They were last in the Western Conference. Defeating the first team in the Western Conference and the first team in the league was enough to give them a season.
The day after losing to the Trail Blazers, Jason Richardson had back-to-back away games against the Warriors. Jason Richardson, who had an abnormal performance in the Three-Point Contest during the All-Star Weekend, found his form in this game and felt great in the first quarter. He hit five three-pointers, plus other scores, scoring 19 points!
The key is that every time this guy hits a three-pointer, he will take a meaningful look at Chen Hao's position, which makes people very angry.
Relying on Richardson's performance, the Warriors led the Lakers by 3 points 28:5 in a single quarter.
"Hao, use your three-pointers to tell that guy who is the real three-pointer king! Just as he was getting ready to play in the second quarter, Kobe's words came from behind. He turned his head in surprise and looked at Kobe with a serious face. Chen Hao smiled and said:
"I never thought that you, the guy, would be so good at it."
"The guy is provoking and you have to respond!"
It was Odom who spoke this time, and his expression was very serious. Kobe responded in time:"Just like Lamar said, go beat that guy. I believe you can do it with your strength."
"Why do everyone have such high expectations for me?.."
To be honest, Chen Hao actually just wants to earn hundreds of thousands in each game, just to make ends meet. He doesn't really value the outcome of the game or individual duels that much. To put it bluntly, he just wants to earn money. That’s all.
But now looking at the serious faces of Kobe and Odom, and the people around them looking at themselves as if they should do it of course, the key is���As the head coach, Phil Jackson has acquiesced that this is inconsistent with the team's established tactics.
Chief assistant coach Hoffman even directly cast an encouraging glance.
Why do I always feel like something is wrong, but I can’t think of what it is exactly?...
I simply don’t want to think about it anymore.
"Since you are all so supportive, let me do whatever I want for a while."Chen Hao laughed.
He seemed to have never enjoyed the feeling of having unlimited fire rights. This time he just wanted to experience it.
Hearing this, Kobe and Odom both nodded with satisfaction, and other teammates around them also showed their faces. Looking forward to it.
Chen Hao was very confused when he saw it. He always felt that it was a little different from the scene he imagined. When did his status and prestige in the team become so high? Why did he feel that everyone was moving towards becoming him? Where is the direction of Gouzi's development?
Shaking his head slightly and throwing these messy thoughts out of his mind, Chen Hao came on stage with Bynum, Brian Cook, Luke Walton, and Smush Parker....
For the Warriors, Baron Davis, who recently returned from injury, came off the bench to lead Mike Dunleavy....That is, the four sons of current Clippers head coach Mike Joseph Dunleavy; Monta Ellis, Murphy, and"French Jordan" Michael Pietrus played.
The game started quickly in the second quarter. The Lakers had the ball. Smush Parker controlled the ball for more than half of the game. Chen Hao began to move frequently. Cooperating with his teammates' pick-and-rolls, he soon got a chance to take action. Basketball It was passed on at the right time.
After receiving a pass from the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left, Chen Hao raised his hand and shot the basketball without hesitation.
The basketball whirled over the rim, and with Richardson's frowning gaze, it fell straight into it.
""Shua~"
The crisp sound of the net was heard, and the corner of Chen Hao's mouth curled up. He liked hearing this kind of sound very much, it was intoxicating, and his eyes were looking at the Warriors bench, specifically where he was sitting. Richardson's body.
This made the originally calm Richardson's face immediately become a little ugly.
When the ball was changed, Chen Hao did not run back to his own half, but chose to defend Byron David. Si.
The bearded man has just returned from injury, and his strength has not reached the state before the injury, but his big butt is still full of strength.
Unfortunately, Chen Hao is no longer the Chen Hao who would take three steps back after being humped three times by him. , tightly stuck in position, without giving the opponent a chance to start, which made the bearded man very worried. After being entangled, he lost the best opportunity to attack, but he did not believe in evil and continued to thrust hard. He did not want to be treated like a cabbage all the time. , Chen stepped back, causing the bearded butt impact to fail....
"not good~!"
Because of the excessive force, the bearded man couldn't help but take two steps back. Just as he stabilized his body, he felt that his hand was empty and his expression changed drastically.
But it was no use. I could only watch Chen Hao run a few steps, pick up the basketball, rush to the frontcourt, step into the penalty area, jump high, and slam down the Rockies to score.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Chen Hao scored five points in a row to help the team lead the score 30:28, currently leading the Warriors by two points.
After scoring, Chen Hao glanced at Richardson's position again, his eyes very dull.
Unable to endure this, Richardson immediately requested to play, but the Warriors head coach seemed to have other considerations and did not send him on the court immediately. Richardson's face became increasingly ugly, and his eyes were fixed on Chen Hao!
It was still the Warriors' offense. This time Baron Davis did not choose to force a breakthrough himself, but passed the ball to Monta Ellis a few steps away.
Although the latter is still only a first-year rookie, he already has the style of a future terminator. After getting the ball, facing Smush Parker's defense, he took a quick first step, broke into the paint strongly, and hit a backhand layup.
The speed is so fast that it's shocking
~3030 tie!
After scoring, Monta Ellis did not immediately return to defense, but quickly ran to Chen Hao's side and whispered:
"I'm stronger than when we fought before!"
"I said, you will become a basketball superstar in the future."Chen Hao responded while running towards the frontcourt.
Hearing this, Ellis nodded seriously:"Your encouragement is one of the motivations for my continuous evolution. I will use this time in this game. The progress is fully demonstrated, I hope it will satisfy you"
"In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't show it. What I care more about is your attitude towards the sport of basketball and whether you can continue to implement this attitude in the future."Chen Hao made a nonsense statement.
It made Ellis look stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said seriously:"I understand, thank you for your guidance."
"......"Chen Hao was confused.
He himself didn't know what the so-called teaching was and how the other party came up with it.
Self-imagining is indeed the scariest thing.
Without further entanglement with Ellis, Chen Hao quickly ran towards the frontcourt, causing Davis to follow closely. He looked at his second-round pick with some curiosity, always feeling that there was a relationship between him and Chen Hao. Something fishy.
The game did not stop because of this. Under the double pick-and-roll by Bynum and Brian Cook, Chen Hao successfully ran out of position, outside the three-point line, caught the ball and shot, and the basketball just reached the top of the basket. , the attack time has been exhausted
""Shua~"
The sound of the net said it all. Chen Hao hit a three-pointer at the buzzer. Chen Hao shook his shooting right hand and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
I don't know how many girls in the arena fascinated him!
After throwing away the defender, he was not attacked Despite the interference, Chen Hao's three-point shooting percentage was very high. He looked at the Warriors bench for the third time. This time, Richardson couldn't help it anymore and glared at Chen Hao, as if he was watching. explain...
"What are you looking at?"
"Just look at you."
Chen Hao raised his eyebrows when he saw what the other party meant.
On the Warriors' side, Davis controlled the ball for half the game and passed the ball again without the idea of a head-on confrontation. Dunleavy Jr. leaned on Bynum with his back and just turned around. He was about to take off for a dunk, but Luke Walton, who had been waiting for a long time, cut off the basketball. He turned around and threw the ball towards the front court.
He received the ball at the center line and advanced, with Baron Davis chasing after him. Coming over, Chen Hao quickly turned his back without warning, dodged his pressing action, and stepped into the three-point line.
"How on earth did this guy see me?!"
With an expression of surprise, Baron Davis saw that Chen Hao was about to break into the inside line, and his heart became fierce, so he rushed over with the intention of blocking him.
However, as soon as he exerted his strength and chased after him without hesitation, Chen Hao was still there. The figure that is quickly moving away is quickly approaching itself
"not good!"Davis's expression became ferocious.
But he still couldn't stop himself from rushing forward. He watched Chen Hao step back from his side and back to the three-point line.
He was looking at the basket without any distractions, and the ball The boos from the Warriors fans in the stadium did not affect his mind at all. At this moment, Chen Hao felt as if he had returned to the state he was in during the finals of the three-point contest. The basket was as vast as the sea.
Bend his knees and exert his strength. After taking off, the wrist flipped, and the basketball quickly escaped from the control of the fingertips. After landing, the palm of the hand was still bent into a right angle shape. At almost the same moment, the basketball fell into the basket without any bumps.
""Shua~"
There was a crisp sound, and the smile on Chen Hao's lips became even bigger.
He hit another three-pointer. After coming on the court in the second quarter, Chen Hao hit four goals in a row, including three of three three-pointers, scoring 11 points and playing an 11:2 victory. Attack wave, leading the team 36:30, successfully completed the lead in the score, temporarily leading by 6 points!
After scoring, Chen Hao habitually looked at Richardson again.
Without waiting for Richardson's reaction, The Warriors head coach raised his hand first and called a timeout.
"Well done!"
"Hao, you are so damn strong!"
"Beat up those bastards and let them know how good you are. A person who didn't even make it to the finals of the three-point contest dares to mock our three-point king!"
"....."
Surrounded by everyone, Chen Hao returned to the bench. Kobe stood up and said coolly:"Not bad, but Richardson should play next. I hope you can continue to maintain your current status."
"That's right, beat up that arrogant guy."Odom also stood up and made a cheering gesture.
This suddenly made Chen Hao a little touched. There are still true feelings in the NBA. They are not pure business, let alone pure plastic brothers!
Just on the bench Sitting down at the table, Zen Master, the old god, spoke:"The lineup will remain unchanged, with Hao as the core of the offense. Hao has unlimited firing rights."
After saying that, he sat on the bench again and acted like a KFC grandpa.
The timeout passed quickly, and just like what Kobe just said, Richardson came on the field and stepped forward directly, not without confidence. road:
"Do you dare to compete once?"
"Compared to what?"Chen Hao raised his eyebrows and asked
"Just like three-pointers, in three minutes, let’s see who makes the most."
"Then you will definitely lose. In my eyes tonight, the basket is as vast as the ocean. I will not lose."
Looking at Chen Hao's calm look, Richardson turned around and walked away without saying anything. After returning to his own half, he made a very provocative thumbs down gesture....
"interesting..."Chen narrowed his eyes.
The game continued and the Warriors had the ball. Richardson was about to pass the ball immediately. He looked up and saw that it was Chen Hao who was guarding him. He couldn't help but laugh and said:"Rookie, don't be too arrogant, you can't guard me." mine"
"How do you know you can't prevent it if you haven't tried it?"Chen Hao smiled.
"snort~!"
With a cold snort, Richardson forced Chen Hao to carry Chen Hao around the three-point line. He relied on his teammates' pick-and-roll to get a shooting opportunity. He raised his hand and was about to take a three-pointer, but suddenly his eyes went dark and his vision was completely blocked. Covered by Chen Hao's palm
"Bastard!"
He cursed secretly. At this time, he had no other choice but to throw the ball according to his own touch. The basketball made a high arc and hit the back edge of the basket. It was raised high and fell to the ground. Outside the frame, Bynum jumped high and grabbed the rebound. He raised his big elbow out of habit. Murphy said he couldn't afford to offend him and quickly backed away.
"Bang~"
After receiving the pass, Chen Hao advanced steadily across the half court, glanced at Richardson who was waiting in front of him, suddenly started, dribbled under his hips and changed direction significantly, breaking into the three-point line from his right side. He went straight into the paint, but instead of going for a layup, he slid straight to the bottom three-point line.
"Don't try to escape!"Richardson chased after him.
However, he was blocked by Walton, delayed for two seconds, and lost his defensive position.
By the time Richardson bypassed Walton, Chen Hao had already made a three-pointer.
His eyes He was still so peaceful, his body was fully stretched in the air, and his shooting speed was very fast. After landing, he didn't even look to see if the basketball went in. He turned around, made a trumpet shape with his right hand next to his ear, and ran towards In their own half.
Such an arrogant celebration made the fans and spectators at the Warriors' home court very angry, but they did not explode immediately. They were waiting for Chen Hao to make a fool of himself and booed wildly....The scene fell into an eerie silence.
However...
"Swish~!"
A clear sound of connecting to the Internet broke this state.
The Chase Center was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Hao, who was surrounded by Lakers players.
How could he do this?!
How dare he do this! ?
The game did not stop because of this. Richardson tried to restore the team's morale, but faced with Chen Hao's shadow-like defense and the blinding defense that made people don't know how to deal with it, he still felt in his heart. A bit empty.
After struggling for a long time, he found that he still couldn't get rid of Chen Hao's defense. The attack time was running out, and Richardson could only grit his teeth and shoot a three-pointer.
However, it was extremely demoralizing and he voted three no-sticks, and his mood suddenly exploded.
But soon, the shouts of his teammates in his ears brought him back to reality...
"Get back on defense!"
Looking back suddenly, the man had already reached the frontcourt. Richardson couldn't help but think of the scene in the previous round, when Chen Hao turned around and returned to defense without seeing whether the ball was scored. He was so pretentious.
But at this moment, Chen Hao's next move shocked Richardson, the Warriors, Lakers players and coaches, and even all the spectators and fans watching the game.
I saw Just past the midline, with no one defending him, Chen Hao jumped up and shot a three-pointer two meters away from the three-point line.
Everyone was stunned!
What was he doing?!
How dare he do this ? Do it?!
The basketball flew towards the basket at a faster speed with a hint of spin.
"Bang~shua~"
The basketball hit the sweet spot area, rebounded and fell into the basket.
"I knew I could make it, the moment the basketball left my fingertips, I knew it."
Looking at Kobe and others on the bench who suddenly stood up and started waving towels, his teammates running towards him quickly from behind, his opponents with dull expressions, and the silent Datong Center Arena, Chen Hao smiled wantonly:
"Just for tonight, please call me Chen Ritian!"
A few steps away, Richardson stood there blankly, looking at Chen Hao who was surrounded by his teammates, and the stadium began to burst into applause. He couldn't help but recall Chen Hao's previous words in his mind. talk:
【Then you will definitely lose. In my eyes tonight, the basket is as vast as the ocean. I will not lose. 】
I thought this was just a pretentious statement before, but now...Richardson believed it, that guy had the capital to say so! _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading-Collection
