Chapter 45 There is also a conflict next door
Chen Mo played seven minutes in the first quarter of the game, scoring 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting, including one shot where he was interfered with by Deron and was rounded from the side by Jefferson, who had been waiting for a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But in the entire first quarter of the game, Chen Mo only gave 2 assists, and when Chen Mo went off the court, all the Bobcats' scores were related to Chen Mo, 26-25, and the Bobcats were 1 point behind.
When he got off the field, Chen Mo sat on the bench, and the ups and downs of his chest were like a pulled up bellows. In the first quarter of the game, he played like this, and it was too much of a drain on him. Yesterday's game against the Spurs, coupled with going to the Black Rose to drink some wine, still has a big impact on his physical fitness today.
Since it was a game, Chen Mo didn't want to lose, but the performance of his teammates today was really struggling. Gerard Wallace was 0 of 2, Christian Dior was 1 of 3, Carroll was 0 of 3 and Kwame Brown was 1 of 2.
Chen Mo made a few good passes, but his teammates couldn't convert them into points, so he only handed out 2 assists.
On the other side, Delong also scored 16 in the first quarter of the game, and the score between him and Chen Mo in this quarter seemed to be a small victory for Chen Mo, but his team is now ahead, and Delong's consumption is smaller.
After Chen Mo left the break, Delong played two more minutes and increased his score in the first quarter to 20 points before being substituted.
When Deron came off the court, Sloane's face was not good-looking.
It was Larry Brown who called a timeout, and at that timeout, Chen Mo was substituted. And Sloan also wanted to replace Delong at that time, but DeLong refused, he wanted to score more than Chen Mo and then come down. At this time, the contradiction between the two of them was already very deep, and Sloan didn't want to be long-winded with DeLong on the bench, so he conformed to DeLong's idea.
"Coach, why not bring in Stephen? Myers has scored six points, and Carroll can't limit him. Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, found Larry Brown and said.
"Hmph!" Larry Brown didn't say anything to Chen Mo at all, today he was determined to let Jackson be a cold bench.
Chen Mo looked at Jackson apologetically, he didn't want to be verbose with Larry Brown, but for the sake of victory and friends, he would communicate with Larry Brown, who knew that the old man didn't want to pay attention to him at all.
"An old guy like me would love to sit on the sidelines and watch the game. Jackson said.
At this time, Jordan was sitting on the sidelines, and he could see the awkward atmosphere on the team's bench clearly, but there was no expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Stephen hasn't played today, what the hell is Charlotte doing?" Barkley said with a look on his face.
"Probably Stephen is feeling unwell!" Kenny Smith explained.
"Why do I think it's their infighting? Old Brown is going to make an example? I don't think it's the conflict between Stephen and Larry at all, it's the conflict between Jack and Larry that has affected him. Barkley's words came out with his mouth open, just to pour some dirty water on Chen Mo, where did he know what he said.
In the first quarter of the game, the Bobcats scored 2 points after Chen Mo went off the court. Despite the Utah's cold touch, they still led the Bobcats by seven points at 34-27 to end the first quarter.
"Delon, you have to pass the ball more, you have to be a little bit more patient with your teammates. You're the playmaker of the team and you have to understand who you are. Sloane said.
"I think I played well in the first quarter, I understand my position, and you have to understand your position!" Delong was already angry with Chen Mo, and he was unceremonious in the face of accusations from Sloan.
The hot-tempered Sloane rarely spoke, and he had already made up his mind to send Delon away. After watching Chen Mo's game video, he felt that this was the player he wanted, and after playing against the Bobcats today, he was even more determined in his mind.
Chen Mo didn't attack directly when he came up, he was organizing his teammates, and the passes he sent were fancy, but they were also deadly. It's a pity that his teammates didn't grasp the pass he sent, and then Chen Mo turned into a personal offensive mode. And Chen Mo did not forget to pass the ball to his teammates when his teammates had opportunities when he was attacking individually.
There's an individual offense, a pass, and an off-ball offense!
In the second quarter of the game, Chen Mo was substituted in the fifth minute, because of the decline in his physical fitness, it was difficult for him to find a chance to make a shot. Utah is doing a good job defensively.
Delon's efficiency is also declining, and he is too obsessed with individual offense. After passing a few more balls to his teammates, who didn't make a throw, he immediately switched to individual attacking mode.
"Hey, if you're going to score points with me, you're going to have to hurry, 26-18!" DeLong began to taunt Chen.
Chen Mo was also anxious, but the passes he sent out were wasted by his teammates. But if you do it yourself, his physical strength can't support him to play the whole game, and then he will have to lose.
"How do I feel that Charlotte is playing with four people on the court, our God Shooting Specimen?" Barkley said in a frustrated manner.
"Jack isn't fit enough to play with the ball for long periods of time, and his singles are all about individual skill. I have to say that his skills are really good, but his physical strength will be consumed faster when he hits him like this. With his passing, his teammates always playing iron, I think Charlotte should try to get Jack to attack without the ball. But Larry Brown has been slow to make changes, what happened to today's game?" Kenny Smith analyzed that it was time to let Chen Mo go to attack without the ball, but unfortunately Larry Brown just didn't make adjustments.
Chen Mo glanced back at Barkley, this time he dribbled just past half court, moved two steps forward quickly, and shot when he was still a big step away from the three-point line.
Originally, the fans at the scene were about to fall asleep, and Chen Mo's shooting like a cannonball woke them up again. After the shot was hit, the fans at the scene burst into jubilation. Chen Mo yelled at Delong: "Come on, if you have the ability, you will vote for one like this?"
Delon kept a calm face and ignored him, at such a distance, his shooting percentage was less than 20%.
"Guys, cheer up! We've got to kick Utah in the ass!" Chen Mo waved his hands to boost the morale of his teammates.
It seemed that his ball did have a little effect, and then the Bobcats unleashed a 10-2 attack wave.
45-42, they narrowed the gap to three points. The first half of the game also ushered in the last attack.
Deron was obsessed with individual singles throughout the first half, and his shooting percentage dropped when the Bobcats focused their defense on him, but he still didn't change his style of play.
The final attack was for Chen Mo and Gerard Henderson to trap DeLong, who forced a missed shot after the clock was ticking. De Sangana Diop grabbed the rebound and threw the ball to Chen Mo, who quickly passed the half court with the ball and shot a long-range three-point shot before the clock hit zero.
Another big three-pointer gave all the applause and cheers to Chen Mo, and they also equalized the score at halftime.
"Williams, didn't you see the open space for Al [Jefferson] and Myers? Pass! You think you're Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant? Damn the most important thing is that you gave them a chance to attack, it's a six-pointer, damn it!" Sloane couldn't hold back his fiery temper anymore and started roaring from the sidelines.
Delon ignored Sloan and walked straight into the players' tunnel. De Xiaopang, who scored 28 points at halftime and broke his personal halftime scoring record, was not happy.
Sloan cursed again, and with a lingering rage, he walked into the players' tunnel.
The contradiction between the two of them has not escaped the reporter's camera, but has the two who used to be like father and son really reach the point of irreconcilability?
