Chapter 765: One Point of Poison
Curry and Jackson's stimulation was useful, and Chen Mo continued to get Dragic on both offensive and defensive ends in the second half, directly disrupting all the Suns' deployments.
By the fifth minute of the third quarter, the Warriors' lead had reached 11 points.
"When the sleeping lion woke up, its destructive power was staggering. Phoenix's local narrator spoke with a hint of pain and helplessness.
Dragic was the key reason why the Suns dared to let go of Nash and completely announced that they were going into a rebuild, but now the core of the team they rely on looks so vulnerable in front of Chen Mo.
"You need to be calm now. Suns head coach Lindsey Hunter said.
Dragic looked at Lindsay Hunt, he didn't know what to say. He nodded subconsciously, and then locked his eyes on the bench next door, resting Chen Mo.
This timeout, the Warriors didn't set anything up. No one is foaming at the mouth of the story, they just relax and rest.
The match restarted, and Dragic still faced Chen Mo.
He told himself that this was the last time. If this time fails, he passes the ball.
But "one last time" is a terrible word, like "five more minutes of sleep" every morning.
Dragic still opted for Scola to block the pick-and-roll, and Scola's pace and agility meant he didn't suffer too much when he was out of position. And the Warriors don't have a height advantage on the inside, so Scola is a very suitable matchup option.
After the pick-and-roll, Dragic picked up his change of direction, made a left swing, and then rushed straight to the basket. Before that, he made a feint to shoot back, and he changed his mind in an instant.
This shift in thinking led to a visual genius for Dragic's movements.
Chen Mo did not predict Dragic's movements too accurately, and Chen Mo's negligence led to Dragic's successful breakthrough.
"It was a high-quality cover. Phoenix's local commentator shouted, "In the second half, we had the highest quality screen, Goran [Dragic] made the breakthrough!"
Biedrins came out to help defend, and Dragic wanted to end the offense as soon as possible, so he chose to make a foul.
Actually, this is not a good choice, at least in Chen Mo's opinion, if Dragic is moving forward and making a layup with a pull-up action, he should be able to cheat the foul and send the ball to the basket at the same time.
"It should be a 2+1 opportunity. Chen Mo said secretly in his heart.
Dragic was on the free-throw line and he was thrilled.
So, his first free throw missed the basket.
Then, he scored the second penalty. He made the second free throw with more force than the first, but he dribbled well.
Dragic finally got the first point of the second half.
This point was a dose of confidence-boosting for him, but in reality it was a bottle of poison.
Dragic's confidence was so strong that he even hooked his hand at Chen Mo on the defensive end.
Jackson wanted to remind Chen Mo off the court that he should play a single once and play a beautiful and successful response ball. But he saw Dragic's fingers hooked, and he sat down instantly.
"Die!" Jackson scoffed.
"Haven't died, have you?" said Green.
Chen Mo waved his hand to stop Biedrins' pick-and-roll, and then he began his own continuous and fancy dribbling movements.
This is Chen Mo's signature dribbling action, and he doesn't use it much after the body enhancement is upgraded. In fact, this season, Chen Mo used fancy dribbling less times than last season. And this time, Chen Mo once again turned on his signature move.
In all fairness, Chen Mo's dribbling action even the opponent's fans couldn't help but applaud and cheer.
Dragic has never faced Chen Mo's dribbling action like this, and in his opinion, Chen Mo's dribbling rhythm has no trajectory to follow, and he can only follow Chen Mo's steps and retreat.
Suddenly, Chen Mo slowed down the frequency of dribbling, and as the frequency of dribbling slowed down, Chen Mo accelerated the frequency of his steps.
In fact, the speed at which Chen Mo moved forward was constant, but Dragic felt that Chen Mo was much faster.
Chen Mo's dribbling and the rhythm of his footsteps were surprised, causing Dragic's judgment to go to another channel entirely.
Feint to shoot, then turn your back and pass.
Dragic threw himself forward, like lying down to avoid a bomb.
His chin slammed to the ground, and Dragic didn't react. At this time, Chen Mo had already completed the jump shot within the range of his peripheral vision.
"I think you should be able to see my jumper going through. Chen Mo said: "That should be within your field of vision." ”
Chen Mo is like a magic stick, speaking his judgment. Then he turned to Bidrins and said, "I'll pass you the ball later, get you back to the foul you just had, and pay attention to the catch." ”
For the first time, Dragic personally felt Chen Mo's terrifying strength.
Dragic's "last time" continued, and he drank the "poison" he had just made. ”
Chen Mo completed the steal between one-on-one.
"If you don't want to block it, you're my data ATM. Chen Mo said to Dragic after completing a long-distance touchdown assist.
No one thought that the person who received Chen Mo's touchdown pass this time was Biderins, and Biderins, who was running wildly, was like an armored car that stepped on the accelerator to the limit. It's slow to start, but it's not slow to accelerate.
In a high-speed run, Biderins' dunk took a huge load on the basket.
Fortunately, the quality of the basket is good, and there are no accidents in the basket.
"This should be my chance. Millsap said to Bidrins: "You're cutting the line. ”
Biedrins smirked, "You'll have to run faster next time." ”
"It's so unqualified. Millsap said, "I'm going to have to spank your ass with my sneakers in a moment." ”
The Suns collapsed.
The core of the Suns team who took "one point of poison" was broken down by Chen Mo, which led to the collapse of the overall rhythm of the Suns.
Dragic, who scored 31 points on super-high shooting in the first half, scored a total of 32 points in this game.
In the second half, Dragic scored a total of points from that bottle of poison.
The Warriors went on a 42-16 run in the third quarter.
Jackson looked like an old man, and he said to Chen Mo: "It's very good, this makes the old man very relaxed." ”
"Dead people are most comfortable. Chen Mo said.
"The old man is in playoff form, and now is not the time for me to play. "There's no limit to how thick Jackson's skin is.
"Okay, then you take us to the championship. Chen Mo snorted back.
Jackson hugged his head and said lightly: "If Stern listens to me, I'll ask him to send me an O'Brien Cup." ”
