NBA: I really just want to make money

"These two super rookies will finally face each other directly. Without Hao, Chris Retention will undoubtedly be the most dazzling rookie in this class."

"It's a pity that there is no if. Except for Hao, Chris Paul has the best statistics among all rookies in this class in terms of scoring, assists, and steals....No surprise, he will be the best rookie!"

"There is no way, Paul met Hao who performed better, and basically missed the honor of Rookie of the Year. Even so, we can look forward to the performance of the two in this game. I think it will definitely be very exciting."

"Yes, I don’t know what kind of sparks these two players with very different playing styles will have in this game. It’s really exciting."

"The No. 1 Rookie Ranking vs. the No. 2 Rookie Ranking will definitely be a match between Mars and Earth. Chris Paul will definitely try his best to defeat Hao in this game, thus proving to himself that in the same way, Hao will definitely not give up, as long as he is in a head-on duel. If he wins and retains, then the Rookie of the Year is really secure!"

"....."

The fans were talking a lot. Chen Hao and Chris Retention, who were at the center of the discussion, hugged each other in a friendly way on the court. Apart from a competition for the best rookie, there was actually no other festival between them.

Such a small honor will definitely not make two people who don't know each other have bad relations.

On the contrary, there is some sympathy ~

Paul admitted that Chen Hao is his strongest enemy among all the rookies in this year!

Chen Hao knew how terrifying the achievements of the stubborn-looking dwarf in front of him would be in the future.

But he has nothing to worry about. By then, he may have god-level skills, and he can do whatever comes to him without fear at all.

"Hao, I have wanted to play against you for a long time. Your ball control ability is so good. Now you have developed a stable three-point shooting ability. Your outside defense is so strong. Suddenly, I feel that the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger. Big~" Chris Paul said with emotion.

At the beginning of the season, he noticed Chen Hao, an opponent who was rapidly rising in the rookie list. He thought that Chen Hao could only compete for second place at most. The first one was his own, but as Chen Hao performed better and better, he was directly squeezed out and fell to the second position.

The key is that there is no hope of overtaking because Chen Hao's recent performance has been too good. In his rookie season, he averaged a double-double in points and assists per game and ranked first in steals. He directly made history. With such little data, he suddenly fell into the inferior category, even for Chris Paul, who was extremely proud of his heart. They all had to admit that looking at the data of the two, Chen Hao was indeed the better one.

At this time, looking at the other person's expression that didn't seem to be fake, Chen Hao joked:"Why do I feel that the one you should praise the most is mine?" height~"

"Forehead...I'm not short~" Chris Paul emphasized, his eyes still stubborn.

But his height of 183 was not convincing in front of Chen Hao, who was 196, and he felt complicated. Height has always been Paul's fault Pain is a problem that he cannot overcome

"Well, you're not short~" Hao replied perfunctorily.

Paul couldn't help but feel a little angry. Seeing that the other party was a bit amused, Chen Hao smiled and patted his shoulder:"It's just a joke, this game will not matter between us. No matter how we win or lose, I hope we can all give the audience a wonderful showdown."

"That's natural, but I won't lose!"Paul said confidently.

Although from the data point of view, he is in a weak position, but in a head-to-head confrontation, Paul said that he will win!

"Then come on, I look forward to your excellent performance~"

Smiling, Chen Hao turned back to his own half and threw himself into the warm-up.

Looking at Chen Hao's retreating back, Paul's face was firm, and he was full of fighting spirit. In my ears, I heard the words of encouragement from my teammates:

"Chris, I'm going to help you win this game.~"

"Thank you, David ~ Paul said gratefully.

Hearing this, David West waved his hand:"Don't say that, we are the best partners."

Patting Chris Paul on the shoulder, David West looked like I am very optimistic about you, After the old queen Baron Davis left the Warriors, he became the most powerful contender for the team's boss....Well, I think it should be like this.

However, David West didn’t know that the team chose Chris Paul and sent Big Beard away just so that he could successfully take over the position of team leader and become the new queen bee. No chance.

This is as if Ricky Davis of the Cavaliers once believed that the team selected LeBron James with the No. 1 pick to assist him.

The difference is that Ricky Davis kept the idea alive, and David West figured it out soon after.

Of course, these are all things for later.

The warm-up period ended quickly. Under the gaze and anticipation of more than 10,000 Hornets fans in the Time Warner Center Arena, the Lakers VS Hornets game officially kicked off.

The Lakers have been very unlucky recently. After the game against the Knicks, Chris Mihm and Odom caught colds one after another. They will definitely not be able to play in this game....

This makes the team's lineup deployment suddenly become stretched. No matter how strong Phil Jackson's coaching ability is, it is impossible to suddenly produce two outstanding inside players. Therefore, in this game, the team's starting lineup The lineup has undergone major changes.

Vujacic, who performed well in the last game, was originally the starter and served as the team's small forward. Kwame Brown and Brian Cook were paired inside. The back line has changed. The combination of Chen Hao and Kobe is undoubtedly the best in the league. Top-notch configuration.

Looking back at the Hornets, the specific lineup is as follows...

Center: PJ Brown, height

198cm power forward: David West, height 206cm height small forward: Desmond Mason, height 201cm height shooting guard: Kirk Schneider, height 198cm height point guard: Chris Paul , with a height of 183cm

, the overall height of the two teams is almost the same. If Odom and Chris Mihm were not unable to play for some reason, the Lakers lineup would undoubtedly have a clear advantage, but now with a disabled lineup against the Hornets who are waiting to work, the difficulty has increased. Quite a few

"beep~~~"

As soon as the whistle blew, the game officially started. Kwame Brown overpowered P.J. Brown, who was the same height as him, and was the first to touch the basketball and call it to his own half. The Lakers took the lead in organizing the offense. Chen Hao controlled the ball and advanced quickly. Chris Paul The defense stepped forward immediately.

Even though this guy is shorter in height, his strength is not bad, and his strikes are very fast. If Chen Hao hadn't been aware of the characteristics of his playing style, he would have been mentally prepared, and he might have been intercepted by him if he was not careful.

Controlling the ball steadily and looking at the situation on the court, Chen Hao suddenly took a step forward. The speed was not too fast, but he had an excellent sense of rhythm. After attracting the defense, he threw the basketball directly into the air.

Kwame Brown, who had already received the instructions from Chen Hao's eyes, jumped up high, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and slammed it into the basket.

"boom~！"

With an alley-oop dunk, the Lakers gave the Hornets, who were playing at home, a disastrous start as soon as the game began.

~2:0!

"Good pass~"

"Don't think that just because you said that, I won't press you full court."Chen Hao replied lightly.

Paul was speechless, but he couldn't get rid of Chen Hao's defense in his eagerness. In the end, he could only rely on the pick-and-roll to receive the pass, and dribbled the ball quickly through the half court.

Following closely behind, Chen Hao He always maintained a favorable defensive position and constantly exerted defensive pressure.

This made Paul feel very uncomfortable, but his control of the ball was very stable. He did not look like a first-year rookie at all. He saw the right time. , a very penetrating pass, sent the basketball to Mason's hands.

The latter cut inside without stopping, cut into the penalty area and hit a backhand layup

~2:2!

"The pass just now was good~"

"Don't think that if you praise me so much, I will relax my defense against you."Paul responded in the same way.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Chen Hao said nothing more. He raised his hand to receive the pass from the baseline, steadily controlled the ball, and did not give Paul a chance to steal. Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, After looking at the situation on the court, he passed the ball directly to Kobe

""Bang~"

The moment he caught the ball, Kobe turned his back and cut into the paint, pulled up the lever in the air and scored a layup, all in one move, clean and neat. In the next round, Paul faced Chen Hao's defense and assisted David Way. Stern scores a mid-range shot

~The 44- point difference was evened out again.

In the following rounds, the fans and spectators were surprised to find that neither Chen Hao nor Paul succeeded on their own.���Thoughts about assisting teammates to score, everyone was surprised and suddenly understood.......

"Is this a competition for organizational and scheduling capabilities?"

"There should be nothing wrong. They really know how to play. The two of them showed a very tacit understanding. Neither of them scored, they just competed for assists."

"The Lakers have Kobe, a top scorer, and we have David West and Mason on the team, who can also guarantee assist efficiency. The two sides are actually about the same. It mainly depends on their actual performance. Anyway, I will definitely side with Paul this time."

"Of course, I definitely support Paul. More than 10,000 of us here are Paul's supporters. He is the hope for the team's revival!"

"Yes, everyone has seen the situation of the team in the past half of the season. With Paul in the team, the statistics of others have been improved to a certain extent. He will make his teammates better and the team more competitive. In terms of organizational ability, I think Paul is stronger than Hao"

"agree......"

"....."

At the same time, the competition on the field continued. Thanks to his ten extremely flexible fingers, Chen Hao's passing accuracy has always been very good. Coupled with his top-notch ball control ability, he was in control. In the process of gaining possession of the ball, you can do two things at once and observe the situation on the court.

Excellent passing selection and timing have always been important guarantees for his ability to average 10 attacks per game.

Just like this round~

He didn’t look at the direction at all. The long-term cooperation allowed Chen Hao to know Kobe’s intention immediately. He passed the ball without looking at the person and sent the basketball to the opponent without any reaction. When it came to Kobe's hands... the ball was very fast, and the timing of the pass was very sudden. Kobe was the only one in the entire Lakers team who could receive such a pass.

"Good shot~"

After receiving the pass, Kobe rushed directly into the paint in three steps and scored with a one-handed dunk.

It seemed very easy.

For the Hornets, although it was only their first season in the league, Chris Paul's pass His organizational skills are very mature, and he is well-deserved to be at the league's first-class level, and he still has huge potential to be tapped.

During the breakthrough, David West received the pass in the most comfortable position and faced Library. Ke easily hit the mid-range shot.

After Paul's arrival, his scoring ability was greatly promoted, and he can be said to be the biggest beneficiary of the team.

The current score is 26:28, the Lakers are temporarily behind by two points, and there is still game time left.

In the last 13 seconds, instead of running back to his own half, Chris Paul directly chose to implement full-court press coverage on Chen Hao.

In one-on-one defense, his small movements were very frequent.

As a short player, this is also It's a helpless thing, otherwise it's really impossible to defend.

Chen Hao didn't pay too much attention to this, after all, his movements were often unclean.

Defense is like this. Players who are too clean cannot do the job of defense.

In the last attack, Chen Hao had just passed halftime, but Kobe did not step forward, but took the initiative to run to the bottom foot position. He had already won the first quarter of the game.���After scoring 18 points, the team was not far behind, so they had no desire and chose to make Chen Hao duel with Paul.

The same goes for the rest of the Lakers, running to both sides with their opponents, opening up enough space.

Seeing this scene, Chen Hao was not polite, he did his duty and chose to execute the last attack of the first quarter by himself.

In the confrontation outside the three-point line, time passed by second by second, until there were five seconds left, Paul suddenly spoke:

"I will guard you!"

"Don't say things you can't do."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hao suddenly exerted force on his feet, and under the gaze of tens of thousands of people in the audience, he rushed into the three-point line. Paul reacted very quickly and hurriedly retreated.~

"bang~！"

His right foot hit the floor hard, and Chen Hao suddenly stopped his forward movement. He suddenly stopped and retreated back to the three-point line. Facing Chris Paul who was staggering and trying to defend but couldn't, Chen Hao bent his knees. Take off, fully stretch your body in the air, and after reaching the highest point, quickly shoot the ball at the right time.

The moment the basketball leaves your fingertips, the game time in the first quarter reaches zero.

Ignoring his sore ankle, Paul stared at the basketball that was flying quickly towards the basket.

""Shua~"

A crisp sound broke the illusions of Chris Paul, the rest of the Hornets team, and even all the Hornets fans present. Hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer, Chen Hao once again proved with actual performance that he has a big heart! _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading-Collection
