NBA: I really just want to make money

Under Nash's helpless gaze, Chen Hao stood by his side for the first time, even if he didn't have a basketball in his hand.

"It's really persistent, is this guy's physical fitness really that good?!" Nash sighed in his heart.

The movement at his feet was extremely fast, and he immediately began to run without the ball, relying on Marion's blocking and dismantling to receive the pass, and went straight to the Lakers' inside.

As soon as he stepped into the free throw line area, Chen Hao had already caught up, opened his hands, and blocked Nash's passing lane.

The chase is back in place.

Raga Bale stepped forward at the right time to help block Chen Hao, and Nash, who had an opportunity, did not hesitate and shot directly, and the basketball fell into it after spinning on the basket.

Switching offense and defense, the Lakers' offense was very smooth, Odom received the ball in the high position, dribbled a few times, and passed directly back to Chen Hao.

Without pausing at all, he secretly gave Kwame Bulang, who was already stuck in the penalty area, a look, and the moment he got the ball, Chen Hao made a breakthrough, but he threw the basketball directly into the penalty area.

Kwame Brown beat Kurt Thomas to control the ball, relayed in the air, and scored with a dunk.

After landing, he looked at Chen Hao with gratitude.

In this Lakers team, Chen Hao is willing to make cakes for him.

"I'll definitely protect you~" Kwame Bron thought to herself.

Chen Hao, who didn't know that he had gained another dog by his unintentional move, continued to press Nash all over the audience.

But this time, the Suns had already been prepared, and Nash's frequent runs were the first to come forward to block and dismantle.

did not feel too disappointed, it is unrealistic for Nash to not receive the ball throughout the game, Chen Hao, who understands this, is very peaceful, but has been maintaining a tight state against it, chasing after it, and exerting defensive pressure.

Even if you can't defend it, then I'm going to make you spend twice as much energy and energy than usual, and that's his defensive strategy against Nash.

The defense does not have to complete the steal or complete the block action, as long as it can make the attacker feel uncomfortable and the overall efficiency has decreased, it is actually considered a success, and Chen Hao is doing it now.

After the pause, although Chen Hao has maintained defensive pressure, the Suns are still in full bloom under the leadership of the physical Nash, every player on the court can score, and they are all scoring, but the overall offensive rhythm and efficiency can only be regarded as average, far from meeting the requirements of run-and-gun tactics.

With Smalls injured and unable to play, Marion became the biggest beneficiary of the Suns on the court, scoring 13 points in the first quarter, ranking second overall, behind Kobe Bryant's 19 points.

In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers sat at home and temporarily led the Suns by 5 points at 35:30.

Looking at the score, it seems to be even, but the fans watching this game understand that the Suns are in trouble.

Because Nash's physical consumption was too great, under Chen Hao's entanglement like a mad dog, after a quarter of the game, Nash was already out of breath, and he began to make frequent mistakes in the second half of the first quarter.

On the other hand, Chen Hao, after a whole quarter of the game, almost always ran with Nash, always maintaining a very high-quality defense, as Nash's physical fitness began to be insufficient, the first quarter of the game was about to be later, Chen Hao's defensive efficiency can be said to be higher.

This is a situation that cannot be explained by the data of only 2 steals.

The numbers don't tell the whole story.

Chen Hao's role on the field data must not be fully reflected.

What is certain is that Chen Hao performed very well in this game, and in the process of fighting against Nash, he did not fall behind.

"This is completely a pure bayonet in the front, but I can't hold on to it first, it can be seen that whether it is Nash or Hao, they are gritting their teeth and insisting in the second half of the first quarter, and both players are worthy of admiration~".

"I really didn't expect that Hao could maintain such a high-intensity defense for a whole section, this willpower is really terrifying~".

"What I want to know most now is whether Nash is cursing in his heart, no matter what, he would never have thought that he would suffer this kind of playoff and even Finals intensity defense in the second game of the regular season, it can only be said that Chen Hao is too persistent. "

"No, no, no, it's not an obsession, it's the most serious attitude a defender takes the game!"

"Agreed, in Chen Hao's body, I saw the shadow of those top defensive masters in the nineties, blood, passion, and physical confrontation...... There's nothing missing, and I think that's what a basketball game should be. "

“......"

The intermission passed quickly, and Chen Hao, who had been fighting for the whole session, was naturally arranged to rest off the court.

The same is true of Nash, in order to ensure that he can play in the next game, even if he is very unwilling, he finally followed D'Antoni's persuasion and regained his fitness on the bench.

His eyes secretly looked over, full of fighting spirit.

Sensing the hint in his eyes, Chen Hao grinned at the corners of his mouth, and his face was firm.

Anyway, he is on the bar with Nash in this game, and the other party plays, then he will also play, and the other party will rest, and he will rest!

The Suns' bench lineup is still playing artillery tactics, and the tallest player, Burris Dior, is only two meters and three meters tall.

They just need players who can keep up with the rhythm and can run.

So whether it's a starter or a substitute, it's a five-small lineup, and the offensive and defensive speed is first-class.

It's just running!

If you win, you win, and if you can't, you lose.

As for the defense?

What's that thing?

In the bench lineup, Brazilian lightning ~ Leandro Barbosa is undoubtedly the core of the team, its speed is very fast, anyway, Smash Parker can't catch up, often the first step is thrown off two or three positions, and then can only eat ashes behind him.

However, compared with Nash, Barbossa's organizational and scheduling ability can only be regarded as average, and the passing level is only qualified, and in the average playing time of 20 minutes per game last season, there were only 2 assists~

However, in the bench lineup, the Suns do not expect Barbossa to be able to mobilize the whole team, be able to score, help the team stabilize the situation, and wait for the starters to come on the court to take over the game, even if the task is completed.

On the defensive end, Barbossa was completely blown out, and on the offensive end, Smush Parker was very calm.

In the face of the Suns, who have the lowest defensive ability in the league, he was not polite, and repeatedly used his personal ability to shoot and score, or transfer the ball into the restricted area, allowing Chris Meem and Brian Cook to bully the small and help the Lakers maintain their advantage on the court.

makes the Suns seem to be on the offensive side, but the lack of defense, coupled with the average height of the inside, makes the Lakers' offensive efficiency not low, and the number of secondary offenses is also a lot, and the lead on the court has not been erased, but has increased.

On the Lakers bench, looking at Smush Parker's performance on the bench, Phil Jackson nodded with satisfaction and thought:

"With Parker's strength, the start is too reluctant, but the substitute can play a relatively good role~".

During the official timeout, Smash Parker, who returned from victory, did not know that he had been positioned as a bench bandit by the coach, unless Chen Hao was injured and could not play, otherwise he could only come on as a substitute.

After the official timeout, both sides sent their starting lineups, and Chen Hao faced Nash again.

After the confrontation in the first quarter, Nash admitted to Chen Hao, an opponent, that he had not suffered such a frenzied defense in the whole season last season, even in the Western Conference finals, and he never dared to relax again.

Inside and outside the stadium, watching Chen Hao and Nash be entangled fiercely again, the fans and spectators were very excited.

The fans and spectators in the Staples Center spontaneously chanted "Defense" in unison, hearing Chen Hao's enthusiasm, and the defense became more and more aggressive.

Just relying on movement and running, Nash found that he couldn't get rid of Chen Hao, and it was a little difficult to even connect the ball, so he could only rely on his teammates to block and dismantle and get opportunities, but it didn't take two seconds for Chen Hao to catch up, and he didn't give Nash a chance to play freely at all.

This makes Nash have to choose himself many times, after all, it takes time for teammates to run out of opportunities, and they have to take care of and help Nash block and dismantle, reducing the time of running and resulting in poor opportunities.

Compared with traditional point guards like Andre Miller, Nash's scoring ability is better, his shooting is very stable, he hit consecutive shots, and even hit a three-pointer, scoring 7 points in a row, and performing well.

However, Nash, who was about to see the annoyed look on Chen Hao's face, was disappointed.

Because Chen Hao doesn't care how many points Nash scores, he only cares if his defense has troubled him and whether it affects the rhythm of the game for the Suns, a rhythmic team.

It turns out that if you blindly rely on Nash to score, the overall competitiveness of the Suns will not be guaranteed.

When the Suns need Nash, the core of the run-and-gun playmaker, to score, it means they're in trouble!

In the midst of the intense game, the second quarter of the game ended quickly, Kobe Bryant took over the ball of the Lakers after he came on the court, and the offensive end was extremely efficient, not at all like a blacksmith, 7 of 8 in the second quarter, 3 of 3 in the serve, 17 points, 36 points in the half, showing the self-cultivation of a super scorer.

Chen Hao had six assists, four points and two rebounds in the half, and also got three steals and two fouls on Nash.

The data seems to be relatively average, but no one can deny Chen Hao's contribution on the court, without his defensive restrictions on Nash, the Suns' run-and-gun tactics will definitely make the Lakers extremely uncomfortable, but they will not control the pace of the game in their own hands like now.

At 69:61 at halftime, the Lakers led by eight points heading into the second half.

At the beginning of the third quarter, after the adjustment of halftime, Nash recovered his physical fitness and appeared directly, while Chen Hao was-for-tat.

The situation of you chasing me soon reappeared in everyone's field of vision.

Even if it has been watched many times, the fans and viewers do not have the slightest aesthetic fatigue, from the confrontation between Chen Hao and Nash, they see the essence of the basketball game, then fight.

Lakers fans are happy, Kobe Bryant, who has the strongest spear on the offensive end, and Chen Hao and other generals on the defensive end in the new season, both of them are so talented and handsome, which makes people look at each other.

**Fans are also happy, they watched Chen Hao's game with their own eyes, and they were directly attracted to fans, and their handsome faces were in stark contrast to their aggressive defensive state, which made people want to stop.

The game will not stop because of the shouts and thoughts of the fans......

There were only four minutes left in the final quarter, and the state of chasing me was finally over, and Nash fell one step ahead of Chen Hao.

I really can't run.

Thanks to the additional ability bonus of the perpetual motion machine, Chen Hao, who has been running, has improved his physical recovery a lot, but he is also tired enough to press his leg for Nash, who has leg cramps, and after watching him end the game, Chen Hao insisted on another round, which is to signal Phil Jackson to replace him.

Because he has also reached the limit, he will probably have cramps and rest if he runs again.

Chen Hao, who walked off the field, enjoyed the cheers of the fans, and in this game, he not only used his appearance, but also conquered the fans with his defense.

"This feeling is really good~" The corners of Chen Hao's mouth raised slightly.

As soon as he got off the stage, he found Nash standing in front of him with a serious face.

"Hao, you are the tough opponent I've met since I entered the alliance~" Nash is seized.

Hearing this, Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, but immediately came back to his senses and said equally seriously: "Steve, I, Chen Hao, would like to make you the strongest opponent~".

"What about Kobe?" Nash joked.

"He's a teammate~".

After saying a word, Chen Hao stepped forward and hugged Nash, and after separating, the two glanced at each other, didn't say anything, and returned directly to their respective benches, but the hugging picture was completely recorded by the broadcast screen.

It can be expected that this photo will definitely appear in the major newspapers and magazines tomorrow!

Nash, who returned to the bench, couldn't help but recall Chen Hao's words ..... in his mind

"Seal me as the strongest, why are you so awkward~".

Shaking his head, Nash reacted suddenly, and looked at the Lakers bench angrily, specifically Chen Hao's position:

"You've only played two regular season games and only seen a few players, so you've named me the strongest?"
