NBA: I really just want to make money

"Hao, congratulations. If nothing else, you should be the starting point guard of the Western Conference All-Stars."

"It was number three two days ago, so why is it number two?"

Looking at Pau Gasol with a confident and envious expression, Chen Hao expressed that he was a little confused.

Not only him, but Kobe and even the rest of the Lakers were also extremely surprised, because Chen Hao had already been confirmed before. Because Hao and Kobe will be selected for the All-Stars, they have not paid much attention to the voting situation in the past two days.......

It only took three days, and it shouldn't change anything. Who knew that Chen Hao would actually catch up?

"The fact is that you are now the second most voted guard in the Western Conference, and you have beaten Steve by more than 50,000 votes. The gap seems to be getting bigger and bigger. According to the current growth rate of votes, if you are given another week, I am afraid that Kobe will be surpassed by you."Gasol glanced at Kobe.

As an international player, he has no resistance to the behavior of fans in his country helping to collect votes.

Since the league has chosen the selection method of fan voting, then within the rules, let the fans of his country Fans help vote. From the rules, there is nothing illegal and no problem at all.

"It's a pity that reality doesn't give me that much time."

Looking at Kobe teasingly, Chen Hao asked:"Paul, you should have entered too, right? Gasol smiled and nodded:"Dirk and I have very similar votes. If nothing else happens, both of us should be able to enter the All-Star Game.""

The All-Stars generally select 12 players from the East and West, specifically two centers, six forwards, and four guards.

Among them, the starting five are selected by fans through voting through various channels, and the substitute players are Evaluated by coaches and reporters from major media.

There is definitely no doubt about the starting five in the East and West. After all, there are real votes to support and prove it. There is a huge room for operation in the selection of substitute players....

In line with the principle of fairness and justice, fans' votes will be used as a major evaluation criterion in the selection of coaches and media reporters.

From this point of view, Pau Gasol and Dirk Nowitzki, who ranked fourth and fifth in the Western Conference forward voting, are indeed very likely to enter the All-Star season. After all, their strengths are here, and their respective Represents a certain international market

"Then we will be teammates."

Now that it has become a foregone conclusion that he will be elected as the starting guard of the Western Conference All-Stars, Chen Hao will not be too pretentious.

This is the love of the fans, how can you refuse it?

Gasol's response came to his ears....

"I look forward to cooperating with you at that time. I think our styles should match well, but now we are still opponents. I will go all out in this game. We lost the two previous games. We must find something this time. Return to the venue."Gasol looked very serious.

Before Chen Hao could say anything, Kobe was the first to respond:"We will not lose at home."

"Just wait and see."

Leaving such words, Gasol turned around and walked back to his own half.

Looking at his retreating back, Chen Hao whispered pointedly:"Actually, I think Gasol is very suitable for our team's tactical system."

"I know this, but we don’t have the right trading chips in our team. Unless we send one of you or Lamar away, and match it with some other chips that are enough to make the Grizzlies excited, why would they trade Pau Gasol? Give us."Kobe Bryant said calmly.

Thinking of the Grizzlies' previous tricks, Chen Hao couldn't help laughing:"That's not necessarily the case. If things go wrong, the Grizzlies management suddenly lost their minds and let us take advantage of the situation."

"If we can really trade for Pau Gasol, and you and Lamar are still on the team, we can win at least ten championships."

Kobe shook his head with a smile:"But that's impossible. Okay, don't think about all these things. Let's go warm up. I don't want to lose this game."

"Don't make it sound like I want to lose."Chen Hao complained happily.

He glanced meaningfully at Pau Gasol, who had returned to the Grizzlies half-court to warm up. The words Kobe just said came to his mind. Chen Hao took a deep breath and said with only A voice only he could hear whispered:

"When that time comes, I don’t know who will leave......."

Then he stopped thinking about it and turned around to his own half. Standing outside the three-point line, with Bynum and Turiaf helping to pick up the ball and pass it, they began to practice three-point shooting. The court suddenly became filled with excitement. There were bursts of Internet access.

Not long after, the warm-up time ended and the game officially began.

For the Lakers, Chris Mihm is still on the injured list, and the team maintains the starting lineup against the Lakers.

Compared with the last matchup, the Grizzlies' starting lineup has made certain adjustments.

The inside is still the combination of Pau Gasol and Lorenzen White, defensive expert Sean Battier serves as the small forward, and the back line has become Eddie Jones and Chucky Atkins.

The latter was the starting point guard of the Lakers last season, averaging 13+4+2 per game. This season with the Wizards, his data dropped directly to 6.7 points, 2.5 assists, and 1.3 rebounds, which was reduced by half.

Now after being traded to the Grizzlies, he has recovered again. Relying on his excellent performance, he has gained the trust of the head coach and successfully entered the starting lineup from the bench.

Not surprisingly, this is Chen Hao's opponent in this game.

At this time, the starting players of both sides have already taken their positions. Pau Gasol and Kwame Brown, who are responsible for the jump ball, are standing directly in the center circle.

"beep~~~"

The referee blew the whistle and the game officially started.

Jumping up almost at the same time, Kwame Brown relied on his faster bounce to touch the basketball first.

Odom jumped up to catch the basketball, and passed the ball directly the moment he landed. Chen Hao dribbled the ball forward quickly. Atkins immediately stepped forward to block it. There was no probing at all, and it was just a physical confrontation.

"Bang~"

During the collision, Chen Hao's figure only trembled slightly, but he immediately stabilized his center of gravity. His technical movements were not deformed at all. He controlled the ball steadily with his right hand, exerted force under his feet, and rushed directly from the opponent's side.

This made Atkins' expression changed. Wasn't the promised confrontation insufficient?!

Why did it feel different from what he imagined!

"Bang~bang~bang~~"

The sound of dribbling was full of rhythm. Chen Hao stepped into the three-point line and drastically changed his direction to get rid of Eddie Jones's defense. Gasol and Shane Battier's attention was focused on Kobe. In this situation, after a pass fake, he suddenly collected the ball in three steps and scored a layup.

""Shua~"

Relying on Chen Hao's breakthrough layup, the Lakers temporarily led 2:0. In the

Grizzlies round, when Atkins passed halftime, Chen Hao stepped forward to press for the first time, without any fear of physical confrontation. , the more entangled and collided, the stronger his defensive pressure becomes.

"This guy...why......！"

When he was still with the Wizards at the beginning of the season, Atkins had a fight with Chen Hao. He thought that he could rely on his better body to fight against the opponent, but the reality was that he was dealt a heavy blow and he could not beat Chen Hao. , and was guarded so that he could not move.

"How dare you get distracted."

Not letting go of this fleeting opportunity, Chen Hao made a sideways feint, thrust his left hand forward abruptly, cut the basketball with his finger, poked it away, ran a few steps, and picked up the basketball. , moving forward at full speed, rushed straight into the Grizzlies penalty area, stuck in the right position, and did not give Atkins a chance to block the shot.

""Shua~" made another layup.

~40!

With four points in a row and one steal in the opening game, Chen Hao showed a strong competitive state, and cheers arose one after another in the Staples Center.

The ball returned to the Grizzlies. This time, Atkins did not stick to the ball. Just after halftime, he passed the ball to Eddie Jones before Chen Hao came forward, but as soon as the basketball was released, it was already Kobe, who was just waiting, suddenly stepped forward and stole the ball directly.

Chen Hao reacted immediately, ran over quickly, picked up the ball, and passed it directly to Kobe who had already passed half the court.

"boom~！"

Kobe Bryant exploded with a two-handed dunk that set off the entire Staples Center.

In the first three rounds, the Lakers were full of pressure.

The Grizzlies were stunned. Their head coach was hesitant to call a timeout. He had not decided yet. The Lakers once again performed strongly on the court.

Kwame Brown directly defended Gasol, leading the Grizzlies to lob the ball into the paint. Odom took the opportunity to quickly step forward, jump up and intercept the pass, and before landing, he passed the ball. Throwed towards the front court.

Chen Hao received the pass, cooperated tacitly with Kobe, passed the ball continuously, and easily shook off the defender.

After stepping into the Grizzlies' paint, he slammed the ball to the floor. The basketball bounced high. Kobe followed the forward momentum and jumped high, grabbing the basketball with both hands. His whole body was like a fully charged ball in the air. Bow, squatting and dunking with both hands, very domineering.

The scene was filled with MVP calls one after another.

~8:0!

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers, playing at home, took the lead and gave the Grizzlies a severe blow.

The Grizzlies head coach did not dare to hesitate any longer and directly called a timeout.

In just a few rounds, the suppression power displayed by the Lakers really shocked everyone present, especially the back line combination of Chen Hao and Kobe Bryant. The defensive end directly defeated the Grizzlies Eddie Jones and Chucky Atkin. A defensive line composed of Si.

One hundred seconds passed quickly, and the two sides came on stage again. The Grizzlies had the ball, and Chen Hao directly pressed Atkins to guard him. Kobe followed suit and used his own defense to defend Eddie Jones. No ball allowed.

Under such circumstances, Pau Gasol unexpectedly took the baseline pass and quickly broke into the Lakers' three-point line. He was about to take off for a dunk, but was stopped by Kwame Brown at the free throw line. outside.

During the physical collision, Gasol's lack of confrontation was undoubtedly revealed.

As an inside player, his body is not strong enough, and it is a bit difficult to fight against centers such as Kwame Brown who are not pure strength.

However, Gasol also has his own advantages. He has flexible and solid steps and a variety of offensive methods, including mid-range shots, hooks, and post-up singles. When he uses these advantages, Kwame Brown suddenly has some I can't stand it anymore.

But because he blocked Gasol for a while, Odom was able to quickly return to defense and double-team Gasol without waiting for Gasol to launch a new round of offensive.

In desperation, Gasol could only choose to pass the ball out, but as soon as the basketball left his fingertips, Chen Hao suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and his expression suddenly changed.

""Bang~"

With a crisp sound, Chen Hao successfully intercepted Gasol's pass and dribbled the ball quickly.

The Lakers made a fast break.

It was Chen Hao and Kobe's double cooperation again, but this time it was Kobe who assisted, and Chen Hao assisted.

After Hao got the ball, he rushed straight up, jumped high, and scored with a dunk.

The score reached 10:0.

The Lakers started with full fire, setting the tone for the game.

In the following rounds, the entire Lakers team Still maintaining extremely terrifying concentration, the Grizzlies were unable to break the scoring drought on the offensive end.

It was not until the fourth minute and 17 seconds of the game that Gasol scored two points with a small hook.

The score has reached 18:2!

A sixteen-point lead was established at the beginning.

Under Chen Hao's dispatch, the Lakers began to slow down their pace and improve their success rate.

The defensive end was no longer so high-intensity, giving The Grizzlies had some breathing room, but the score was never close.

In the first quarter, the Lakers scored 36 points, but the Grizzlies only scored 18 points, which was exactly half of the Lakers' score.

In the second quarter, Chen Hao led The substitute lineup also performed well, forcing the Grizzlies to expand the point difference to more than 20 points, forcing Pau Gasol to come on early, but still failed to close the point difference.

Chen Hao, whose physical confrontation ability has improved, It was not something that players like Atkins and Bobby Jackson could limit. They showed strong control on both ends of the offense and defense.

Until the main players such as Kobe and Odom came on the court, the point difference had reached 23 points!

The two led The Lakers began to attack again.

After halftime, the Lakers led by as much as 25 points.

After the halftime break, the Grizzlies adjusted their mentality, but faced the Lakers with all their main players, they were still unable to The situation was reversed, and as the mentality became increasingly anxious, there were problems with performance and frequent mistakes. Instead of narrowing, the point difference widened. The last quarter directly became garbage time.
