NBA: I really just want to make money

That night, the Lakers vs. Raptors game started as scheduled~

Just as feared before the game, the Raptors showed an unparalleled competitive state from the beginning of the game.

While Mike James, the core of the perimeter, was restricted by Chen Hao's death-wounding defense, other Raptors players began to explode, and the Lakers' lack of internal strength was undoubtedly exposed.

Whenever they face opponents with star-level players inside, they will have a difficult time in the game.

Watching Chris Bosh receive the pass with Kwame Brown behind him again and again, and then turn around and hit a jump shot, Chen Hao expressed his helplessness. Although the Dragon King's body looked thin, his physical confrontation ability was outstanding among the inside players. It's relatively average, but with his small body, he is definitely not big enough for others to hit him.

The key is to play very smartly. Instead of confronting tough opponents, he chose a more flexible approach, which worked wonders.

As a strong interior defensive player with insufficient intelligence, Kwame Brown is most willing to defend opponents who like to go straight with him.

Once you encounter an opponent like Bosh who likes to use some"tricks", the defensive success rate has always been a big problem.

This game is the best evidence. The defense is almost ineffective. Every time, the rhythm is wrong. In the end, I can only raise my hand symbolically.

The defensive pressure on the opponent is too little!

As for the Raptors, it wasn't just Bosh who performed well. Peterson and Bonner were also in amazing form, providing the Raptors with great firepower support.

Since the defensive end cannot completely limit the Raptors' scoring points, the Lakers can only choose to attack. Jackson responded quickly and immediately adjusted the lineup to replace Chris, who was in poor condition tonight. · Mihm was substituted and replaced by Luke Walton, an organizational forward, to strengthen the passing operation.

The effect is amazing!

With Odom and Walton as two transfer stations, coupled with Chen Hao's scheduling and organization, as well as breakthrough points, the Lakers are also on the offensive.

Kobe became the biggest beneficiary. Facing Jaylen Rose, who became an outstanding role player in the"Michigan Five" with Chris Webber, Juwan Howard and other players in college, the Black Mamba showed his deadly fangs.

In the first quarter, he made 7 of 10 shots, 44 free throws, and scored 18 points!

Chen Hao got a lot of open three-point opportunities through running positions. He made 3 of 5 three-pointers and scored two breakthrough layups, contributing 13 points in a single quarter.

Coupled with the 8 points from other players, the Lakers were incredibly efficient in the first quarter, scoring 39 points!

But it is still one point behind the Raptors!

The Dragon King exploded in the first quarter, scoring a career-high 21 points in a single quarter with a success rate of over 80%.

Bonner and Peterson are as stable as old dogs in three-pointers. They jointly contributed 4 three-pointers in a single quarter!

Facing the Raptors, who were also in excellent form, the Lakers were temporarily behind with a score of 39:40 in a single quarter.

It can be seen from the scores in this single quarter that both the Lakers and the Raptors were in a crazy state in the first quarter of the game.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Chen Hao and Kobe Bryant continued to stay on the court, with Bynum, Cook and Vujacic as three substitutes.

For the Raptors, the three main players, Chris Bosh, Mike James, and Jaylen Rose, are all on the field, supplemented by Villanueva and Calderon.

At the beginning of the game, Raptors substitute center Villanueva, the bald guy who would later compete with Yi Di for playing time in the Bucks, performed well and beat Bynum continuously in the penalty area.

The 18-year-old Little Shark has a very explosive mentality.

Seeing his younger brother being bullied like this, Chen Hao, as his elder brother, naturally had to give a certain response.

He took the baseline pass and controlled the ball for half the game.

Facing Mike James's guard, after a triple threat action, he suddenly started.

Rushing into the three-point line, Europe moved in a coquettish way~ dodged Bosh's defense, faced Villanueva who stepped forward to block the shot, and threw a high pass, sending the basketball into the sky above the penalty area.

Bynum naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. He jumped high, controlled the basketball with both hands, and pushed it into the basket.

"boom~！"

After the alley-oop dunk, Bynum roared with excitement after landing.

But he was embarrassed to find that no one paid attention to him. The Raptors had already served quickly from the baseline and launched a new round of offensive.

Kobe even glared at him when he was returning to defense, signaling him to defend quickly and stop beeping too much. Bynum felt aggrieved and shifted his gaze to Chen Hao at the right time. He received an encouraging look and immediately I feel much more comfortable

"Brother Hao is still nice to me~" Bynum quickly returned to defense.

On the defensive end, Chen Hao focused on guarding Mike James, preventing breakthroughs but not shots, and did not go around to mark, actively letting the opponent catch the ball and follow him One-on-one, he seemed very confident!

But after the confrontation in the first quarter, Mike James knew that it would be extremely difficult for him to break through without Chen Hao being distracted. However, his shooting was very unstable and he was reluctant. Passing the ball seems to have to be forced.

"Bang~bang~~bang~~~"

After getting the ball, he ignored Bosh's request for the ball in the penalty area. Mike James dribbled the ball a few times and found that he didn't have a good chance, but he still rushed forward.

The speed is not too fast, but the timing is sudden, and he suddenly rushes from Chen Hao's right side, and he feels surprised in his heart:

"Is this over? Why is it different from the situation in the first quarter!"

Soon, Chen Hao told his opponent the reason with practical actions. The moment the opponent passed by, Chen Hao's right hand popped out like a ghost, and the basketball flew directly. Kobe, who had been waiting a few steps away, reacted quickly and stepped forward. Picked up the basketball in front of him.

Lakers fast break!

Chen Hao took the lead. After halftime, he received a pass from Kobe. Feeling the rapid footsteps of Mike James behind him, he suddenly stopped outside the three-point line at the top of the arc. He staggered and tried to stop his forward movement, but because the force of his forward movement was too fierce, he slipped directly to the ground. When he raised his head, what caught his eye was Chen Hao's standard and graceful shooting posture.

His body stretched in the air and he jumped high. After reaching the highest point, he flipped his wrist so that his palm and wrist formed a standard right angle. Maintaining this posture, Chen Hao landed steadily and watched the basketball fall into the basket.

""Whoa~"

A three-pointer was hit!

There was no celebration. Chen Hao restrained his movements and turned back to defense with a calm expression.

This behavior gave Mike James a huge psychological impact. Do you want to be so confident? I don't care. You slipped, and you didn't even try to dunk, but you directly shot a three-pointer, and the key was scored. How angry~ The offense and defense transitioned. This time, the basketball didn't fall into the hands of Mike James at all. Calderon directly The lob went inside.

Bosh beat Kukic hard and used his height advantage to turn around and hit the ball with a throw. The Raptors added two points.

How relaxing and comfortable!

Phil Jackson couldn't help but look at it from the sidelines. Kwame Brown was on the bench, but in the end he held back and did not make an immediate substitution, preparing to see the situation on the court. In the

Lakers' offensive round, Kobe and Chen Hao cooperated tacitly, continuously cutting inside and passing the ball quickly. , and finally Kobe completed the scoring with a dunk.

In the subsequent offensive round of the Lakers, Kobe reciprocated, assisting Chen Hao with a knife from outside the three-point line, and then scored another three-pointer.

Without being affected at all, the Raptors quickly hit the bottom line When the ball was served, everyone was running towards the frontcourt!

The offensive and defensive rhythm on the court was so fast that Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell couldn't stop shouting from the sidelines.

The Lakers had already set the pace. , Bosh and Villanueva, the two 211cm tall inside towers, can only passively attack and defend quickly, which consumes a lot of physical energy.

Especially Chris Bosh, who is already in a state of continuous battle, and is already breathing heavily at this moment..

It directly led to a very advantageous matchup on the offensive end, but because the breathing was not adjusted properly, the shot went awry, the basketball collapsed and popped out of the basket. Kobe succeeded in grabbing the rebound and passed the ball over immediately.

The frontcourt again One-on-one with Mike James, without stopping at all, with a few crotch dribbles, Chen Hao suddenly bent over from the opponent's side and penetrated into the three-point line. Without completely getting rid of the defense, Weird, who has the same hands and feet, stepped into the penalty area and scored an easy layup.

Mike James said he had no idea where to start.

"This European step is really.....I don’t know how to describe it~" The on-site commentator choked for a moment.

His partner also looked surprised, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said:"I feel that now in the entire league, we can win in Europe. The only one who can compete with Hao in this skill is Manu Ginobili of the Spurs.~"

"I think so too���I just don’t know what the scene would be like if the two of them faced each other head-on on the court.~"

"It should be exciting~

"....."

The game on the court did not stop because of this. With Chen Hao's complete liberation on the offensive end, Kobe was not to be outdone. He made sudden shots and scored 8 points in a row, helping the team gradually widen the point difference.

The head coach of the Raptors called a timeout in time, preparing to let the players calm down and adjust their mental state. They can no longer blindly follow the Lakers to play at a fast pace. They have a great advantage inside, so they should fight for position.

After the timeout, both sides changed their lineups. The Lakers fielded their entire lineup, while the Raptors left the outstanding Villanueva on the court and continued to form a twin-tower formation with Bosh!

When the game started again, the condition of both sides declined and they began to fall into a more struggling melee.

In this process, the role of superstars was reflected. In the last three minutes of the second quarter, Kobe hit two consecutive three-pointers, and even used the breakthrough to cause fouls on Bosh and Villanueva. He made 5 of 6 free throws. While scoring points, it also caused internal damage.

At the last moment of the second quarter, Chen Hao successfully stole Jaylen Rose on the defensive end and completed a three-pointer at the buzzer. His performance was equally remarkable!

In the second quarter, the Lakers once again scored 35 points, while the Raptors only scored 26 points.

After halftime, the Lakers led their opponents by eight points with 7466.

What is extremely concerning is that Kobe scored 21 points in the second quarter and 39 points in the half. His scoring performance was explosive!

Chen Hao also scored 11 points in the second quarter and had 242 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in the half. His performance was also very outstanding.

This is not the first time that Chen Hao has scored high scores in a game!

The key is that there has been no conflict with Kobe, and he is in perfect harmony with the situation.

Unknowingly, Chen Hao has completed the transformation from a role player to an all-around player with both offense and defense, and has become the Lakers' most reliable and stable scoring point besides Kobe.

The game quickly entered the second half, with only an eight-point difference. The Lakers definitely couldn't let down their guard, and all their main players came out in the third quarter.

The same goes for the Raptors!

At the beginning of the game, the efficiency of both sides was extremely amazing. Odom received a pass from Chen Hao and hit a three-pointer in seconds.

In the very next round, Bosh responded with a long mid-range shot.

The Lakers organized a fast break, and taking advantage of the Raptors' internal defense that was not stable, Chen Hao made a very penetrating long-distance transfer of the ball. The basketball accurately fell into the hands of Kobe, who responded with a dunk.

For several consecutive rounds, both sides refused to give in to each other and were very angry.

It seemed that everything was going back to the state when the two teams met in the first quarter. Until the second half of the third quarter, when both sides began to adjust their lineups one after another, Chen Hao suddenly broke out and began to continuously After running quickly and getting the opportunity, he made a decisive three-pointer without any hesitation.

It's like now~

Half-court possession of the ball, looking at Mike James who is directly pressing the upper limit, Chen Hao motioned for Kwame Brown to step forward to pick and roll.

The latter understood it, strode forward, and blocked Mike James.

Chen Hao took the opportunity to move sideways, strode outside the three-point line, jumped high across Kwame Brown, and quickly shot a three-pointer.

As soon as the basketball came off his fingertips, Chen Hao had an extremely strong feeling in his heart that the ball should be there.

Reality confirmed his idea

""Wha~"

The basketball passed through the net hollowly and hit a three-pointer!

In the following rounds, Chen Hao, who was consciously feeling hot, started his own performance. He often relied on pick-and-rolls to gain shooting space, and then decisively shot three-pointers. Points were scored without any hesitation.

The shot selection made people unable to complain!

But he just scored! No matter what the process is, if a goal is scored, it is a good goal! Hit three three-pointers in a row!

Feeling the faint fear of the opponent looking over him With a look in his eyes, Chen Hao grinned and suddenly moved the ball to his foot.

"Bang~"

After catching the ball and shooting, Kobe also shot a three-pointer with itchy hands. After the basketball bounced on the rim a few times, he luckily fell into the basket.

It was as if he was affected by Chen Hao's fiery three-point touch. The rest of the Lakers team also had inexplicably good touches, no matter how they shot!

Even Odom, who had always been unstable, hit his second three-pointer in the third quarter.

The Lakers launched a fierce attack. It rained three-pointers at the Raptors' home court, which directly stunned their opponents. They could make any number of shots, and how could anyone play with this!

"beep~~~"

As the referee's whistle sounded, the third quarter ended. All members of the Lakers were inexplicably excited, while everyone in the Raptors breathed a long sigh of relief. it is finally over!

If this continues, they will have a shadow on three-pointers in the future.

Throughout the third quarter, the Lakers took 15 three-pointers and hit 11 of them. It felt so hot.

A single quarter scored 42 points, directly establishing the victory!

In the final quarter of the game, the Big Three did not appear again. Until the end of the game, the point difference was still 9 points.

The moment the final whistle sounded, the statistics of Chen Hao and Kobe Bryant for this game appeared on the big screen in a timely manner.

Kobe had 5,410 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls in three quarters!

Chen Hao also played only three quarters and scored a career-high 38 points, 10 rebounds, 4 steals, and 5 turnovers!

Chen Hao and Kobe alone scored 92 points in this game!

If you add Odom's 18 points, the Lakers' Big Three will directly hit a new high, scoring 110 points together!

The people on earth can no longer stop the Lakers!
