Chapter 372: Whose Assist Is It?
"I think I've made some mistake again!" Buckley covered his face and said, "Speaking of which, I shouldn't have questioned Jack Chan at all!" ”
"I really didn't expect that Jack Chen's back-to-back singles would really be practiced. Kenny Smith said, "It's hard to imagine how horrible he is going to be this season.www.biquge.info ”
"I remember there were some reports before that that Jack Chen didn't do anything related to basketball this long offseason except for playing basketball for the Chinese national team. I've been involved in a lot of entertainment, and now that I've seen his back, I think those guys should shut up. Barkley said.
Barkley is indeed right, after the NBA shutdown ended, many media outlets did single out Chen Mo for doing a lot of things unrelated to basketball in the offseason when making pre-season comments, as a way to question Chen Mo.
Critics need to spit on their own eyeballs from time to time, but they say so much that no one can question them for a while. And Chen Mo has long been accustomed to and immune to the saliva of these critics, and he has never mentioned a word about these things, even if a reporter questioned it in person.
Now, Chen Mo singled Kobe's ball with his back, and immediately completely shattered the doubt.
Chen Mo was pulled up by Curry and Kirilenko, Kirilenko patted Chen Mo on the back and said, "I was really afraid that you would be embarrassed just now." ”
Chen Mo smiled: "I slapped myself in the face, I haven't learned this skill." ”
Chen Mo hit a free throw, and on the way back to defense, he said to Kirilenko again: "Wait for us to withdraw from the inside, you just cut to the basket, and I will pass the ball to you." ”
"Good!" Kirilenko promised,
Kirilenko was looking forward to the next attack, and this time he was extra focused and hardworking.
Here Chen Mo wants to get Kirilenko back on the field, and just now Chen Mo singled Kobe Bryant, Kobe naturally wants to get it back. He is paranoid, which is the secret of his success, his strength, and at the same time his weakness.
Chen Mo was ready to attack him a long time ago, and when Kirilenko and Kobe Bryant were entangled, Kobe Bryant found the rhythm and was ready to turn his back and shoot. Chen Mo didn't know where to come out, and cut Kobe Bryant's ball off his hand the moment he received the ball and turned around.
Kobe Bryant jumped up in annoyance, he complained loudly, and then hurriedly chased back.
No one will say what would have happened if Kobe Bryant had passed the ball, and if he had passed the ball, he wouldn't have been Kobe.
Old Kobe Bryant is desperately chasing back, no one can escape the pursuit of the Black Mamba after humiliating him, but there must always be someone who is safe and sound under the pursuit of the Black Mamba.
Chen Mo ran all the way to the bottom line with the ball, and Kobe Bryant followed closely behind him, not giving Chen Mo a chance to shoot at all.
"It's so sticky, it's not like Jack Chen!" Barkley showed a surprised expression when he saw Chen Mo carrying the ball as if he was in a desperate situation, in his impression, Chen Mo had never brought the ball to death!
Kobe Bryant had a fierce expression, but he was still very measured, sticking to Chen Mo, opening his hands to defend Chen Mo's passing route, and carefully not giving Chen Mo a chance to foul.
Chen Mo actually stuck directly to the bottom line, and the bottom line referee looked at Chen Mo's feet nervously to see if he stepped on the line.
"Maybe he'll smash the ball on Kobe's foot and make it fly off the line!" This is a common idea of many people.
But Chen Mo has never been a person who can easily guess others, Chen Mo threw the ball to the left at will, and then he leaned on Kobe's body and turned back violently, while turning, Chen Mo's elbow hit the ball, the ball hit the floor and rebounded, smashed Kobe's back and bounced to the middle.
Kirilenko is exactly in place, so ...... A perfect two-handed punch added two more points to Kirilenko's scoring account tonight.
Chen Mo unbelievably passed the ball out, and only then did he succeed in helping Kirilenko complete the frame.
"I found that Jack Chan has been even worse this season, not only for his opponents, but also for the staff who remember the stats, should this assist be counted on his head or on Kobe's head?" Barkley is a typical example of watching the excitement and not thinking too much.
Kirilenko was whistled for a technical foul by the referee for hanging on the basket for too long, but it didn't matter, he was happy. Because, Chen Mo humiliated Kobe Bryant fiercely.
Kobe Bryant stood aside and Chen Mo was silent, not knowing what he was thinking, but looking at his face, it was obvious that he was no longer in a normal emotional range.
Chen Mo was ready to take advantage of Kobe's personality and mood changes to continue to make a fuss, but Kirilenko's anger had just smoothed out, and he swore that he had fallen in love with the feeling of playing for the Warriors, or to be more precise, the feeling of playing next to Chen Mo.
When Kobe Bryant was stuck in a single, even Paul couldn't get the ball. The newcomer Paul couldn't say anything, he really wanted to win, but after all, it was only a preseason game, although he was not very comfortable, but it was up to Kobe Bryant to be willful, fortunately, Kobe Bryant felt good today, and before halftime, the Lakers were only 3 points behind. And Kobe Bryant has already scored 25 points in the first half, and the old scoring champion is still in style.
In the last 25 seconds, the Warriors' last chance to attack, Chen Mo held the ball and passed half the court before standing to consume time. Chen Mo stood there and controlled the ball, and no one dared to come over and break Chen Mo's ball. First, the probability of successfully breaking the ball is not higher than the probability that the sun will not come out tomorrow, and second, once the ball is not broken and Chen Mo is shot three points, the loss will be big.
The person who defended Chen Mo was not Paul but Kobe, and Kobe Bryant wanted to teach Chen Mo a hard lesson on the defensive end.
With 16 seconds left, Chen Mo began to make moves, but his steps had not moved forward, but he was just constantly doing amazing fancy dribbling movements to tease Kobe.
In Kobe's view, Chen Mo's every action is to say, "Come on!" Break my balls! ”
Kobe gritted his teeth and held back the impulse in his heart. But Chen Mo saw that there was not much time to attack, and still showed off his dribble and did not come forward to attack.
Finally, in the last 5 seconds, Chen Mo made a move, and Kobe Bryant was waiting for this time! He immediately stepped forward, he was angry this time, and his movements and strength were a little big, but it was definitely not just to knock Chen Mo down. But Chen Mo didn't care about him, the moment Kobe Bryant touched him, he fell down and rolled around on the ground.
The referee did not hesitate to blow for Kobe's foul again, which was Bryant's third foul of the game.
Kobe Bryant kept spewing expletives in his mouth with his arms flailing, and even though he was in Staples, even though he was a superstar, the referee still blew him for a technical foul.
Counting the two free throws and technical foul free throws from fouls to the number of fouls, Chen Mo stood on the free throw line and scored another three points. With 3.2 seconds left to go, Bryant missed a shot and the Warriors returned to the locker room with a 57-51 lead.
Chen Mo still had some regrets when he walked into the locker room, if it wasn't halftime for so long, but a break between the intervals, Chen Mo could quickly make Kobe Bryant's emotions explode.
But the next situation is still very favorable to the Warriors, Kobe Bryant must still want to take the initiative to attack in the second half, his current mood is very consistent with the rhythm of the Warriors' fast whirlwind, I am afraid that it will not be long before Kobe Bryant will take the initiative to enter the Warriors' offensive rhythm.
"There is only one word for what we have to do in the second half - fast!" After Chen Mo changed his clothes, he said to his teammates: "I will control the rhythm, and all you have to do is run, where there is a vacancy, I will send the ball to you, and all you have to do is send the ball to the basket." ”
Kobe Bryant didn't say a word after returning to the locker room, and the only one who the whole team could talk to Kobe at this time was Fisher, who patted Kobe on the shoulder and said, "Don't pay attention to that kid, that kid is very bad!" ”
Kobe Bryant was silent for a long time, sighed, he seemed to be saying to Paul, and as if he was saying to himself: "Let me try again in this game, as long as the difference is more than 15 points, we will surrender, and we will do them again in the regular season!" ”
Paul can't deny this, and Kobe Bryant is relieved to say that.
In the second half, Bryant once again put himself in the shoes of a lone hero, while the Warriors started their fast-track run.
With Chen Mo in control of the rhythm, all the others have to do is run.
Curry has been given an unprecedented amount of space next to Chen Mo, and Brandon Rush has also played like a fish in water after joining this lineup, anyway, no matter who has the opportunity, Chen Mo's pass will definitely arrive.
Mike Brown wanted to exploit Bynum's height, but it didn't work well. The Warriors' lineup didn't think about grabbing rebounds with them, Bynum can grab rebounds when he is in position, but the Warriors' offense will never be completed after Bynum is in position. In addition, when the Lakers attack, even if they score the ball, the Warriors can still play a counterattack because Bynum's speed is too slow. Even Kobe Bryant was tired and sweating profusely during the rapid round-trip run.
The Warriors used their youth and Chen Mo's perfect passing to connect the whole team, and after 5 minutes, the difference was close to 20 points.
Mike Brown replaced all of his main players, and the Los Angeles Lakers surrendered. It's just a preseason, and they can't afford to fight the Warriors.
Bryant scored 14 goals from 30 shots in the game, shooting reasonably well, and scored a total of 37 points. Paul had 10 points and 10 assists, and his performance was not impressive.
This time around, the league's touted Southern California derby is a bit anticlimactic, but it's fun enough to have such a game in a preseason game.
"There are still some problems with the run-in of our lineup, Chris didn't integrate so quickly, he and Kobe Bryant need to find a way to coexist, we need time."
"There is no need to doubt it, our goal is the championship."
"The next time we encounter it, it's impossible to push up such a quick counterattack. No lineup is invincible, no weaknesses. ”
"I had a certain problem, and I didn't help them get the chemistry done as quickly as possible."
Mike Brown took all the blame for the loss on himself, but Bryant couldn't escape the media's accountability. Kobe Bryant didn't mean to escape at all, even if he was continuously humiliated by Chen Mo in the game, he answered as usual.
"It's his style, even if God is in front of him, he can be humiliated if he wants to. There's no ball on the basketball court that he can't handle, and the structure of his hands is definitely different from ours, and if you know him well, you won't find his passing incredible. He's done it, and his hands can break at almost any angle you can imagine. So...... Humiliated by him, I obey! But next time, it won't let him win again. ”
'Me and Chris Paul, we need to get used to playing next to each other. I have to play more off the ball and he needs to play off the ball a little bit as well. You also said you needed three balls to play for the three of them when you were combining, but now they're coming together really well, and Chris and I are the same, so we need time. ”
Whether it's Kobe Bryant or Brown, they have taken the responsibility on themselves and their time, which has to make people start to look forward to the next Southern California derby.
Chen Mo has never had the habit of stepping on the opponent's head after winning, so in the post-game interview, Chen Mo helped the Lakers speak, and what he said was very reasonable. "They need time and I've been teammates with Stephen since I first started playing. You may not know it, but my shooting was taught by Stephen. So we don't have any problems working together, but they're not the same. They entered the league with a time difference of almost 10 years, and they are almost two generations of players, and they need time to grind in. ”
"I'm certainly looking forward to meeting next time, they're our strongest opponents in the West."
The preseason Southern California derby inevitably looked a bit anticlimactic, but for the good core players of both teams, the game didn't affect the mood between them too much.
After the game, Chen Mo, Curry, Jackson, Paul, Kobe, and Gerald Wallace got together for a late night snack.
Naturally, the supper was Paul's treat, and Chen Mo also unceremoniously slaughtered Paul, and Paul gritted his teeth and swore that he would eat it back next time.
Everyone's atmosphere was more joyful, but Kobe's mood was relatively low, Kobe Bryant was stunned for a while and then said to Chen Mo: "You are too dark." ”
Chen Mo was a little embarrassed at this time, he was indeed a little unkind when he let Kobe Bryant assist tonight, "I had a flash of inspiration, I just wanted to try the feeling." Don't worry, I'll try it on Chris next time, and I'll never leave you alone. ”
Paul slapped Chen Mo the thigh, and then said, "I won't give you a chance." ”
Chen Mo rubbed his thighs, looked at Paul and said, "It's a bit boring to invite guests to dinner every time you lose, you two brothers will have to do Dong three times in the future, I won't get used to it." Or, the next time the loser will do another horse dance! It's the dance ...... of a certain stick."
Paul was still a little hesitant on the side, but Kobe Bryant had happily agreed, "Okay, okay, no problem." ”
For the first time, Paul began to doubt the correctness of his move to the Los Angeles Lakers...... (To be continued.) )
