Chapter 232: Strong, Invincible
Chen Mo was substituted in the fifth minute of the second quarter of the game, and after coming on the court, Chen Mo was still the one who attracted the most defense, and then he used the pass that broke through to the deep position to help the team bombard the Jazz basket again and again.

The tactical knowledge stored in Corbyn's mind finally helped him sort it out.
However, it was no longer useful, and at the end of the first half, the Bobcats returned to the locker room with a 17-point lead.
In the second half, Corbin finally thought of shrinking, defending Chen Mo's passes properly, and no longer allowing the Charlotte Flying Team to bomb the basket unscrupulously.
The Jazz began to drive the Bobcats to the perimeter, forcing the Bobcats to shoot from the perimeter.
At this time, Chen Mo decisively understood Jazz's intentions and gradually strengthened his personal attack.
He first scored a three-pointer from the outside against Raja Bale, and then broke through Kirilenko's defense on the inside and scored a low-handed layup.
Corbin saw Chen Mo's performance off the field and shook his head slightly.
Such a player has almost all the advantages, calmness, confidence, good observation, well-rounded skills, etc.
Corbin thought of Chen Mo's many advantages, and shook his head helplessly.
As soon as Chen Mo exerted his strength, the score continued to be widened.
In the third quarter, Chen Mo only played half a quarter, and he scored 15 points, and then expanded the difference to 23 points.
After Chen Mo began to watch from the wall, Corbin did not give up, he understood Chen Mo's characteristics, and physical fitness was Chen Mo's only weakness. He wanted to take advantage of Chen Mo's absence to get the score back.
The Jazz are definitely the least abandoned team in this league. They often have those big scores that come behind and then catch up and even come back.
The Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Lakers have been almost antonymous in recent years, with the Lakers often leading by a big score in the third quarter and then starting to paddle. The Jazz never will, whether they are ahead or behind, and their attitude towards the game will always be maintained.
This is the spirit that Sloan left to Jazz, and the Salt Lake City media called it the "Sloan spirit." ”
Chen Mo regained his physical strength on the sidelines, and he still confidently observed every movement on the field. He doesn't want to leave the Jazz with any hope of a comeback tonight, and if not, he'll have to play again in the final quarter.
Sloan obviously put on a stubborn posture, strengthened the control of rebounds on the inside, increased 2 offensive opportunities, and made it clear that he was grinding time with the Jazz. With Sloan's understanding of the Jazz, although the score is shrinking little by little, the 23-point hole is not so easy to fill.
After the third quarter, the Bobcats' lead was reduced to 18 points.
Corbin knew that this was the best way, in the absence of Chen Mo, in the face of the Bobcat's stubborn defense, they could only chase points little by little.
And with the start of the final quarter, Corbyn now only has regret in his mind, if he could have thought of these in the second quarter of the game, to curb the Bobcats' indiscriminate bombardment, maybe not so passive now.
Jazz was filling in the pit, but the hole they had fallen into was too big for them to fill.
In the ninth minute of the final quarter, the Jazz once narrowed the gap to 8 points, and Chen Mo wanted to play again but was stopped by Sloan.
The Jazz don't have any talent on the offensive end, and they lack the explosive scoring output of a superstar. Moreover, the Bobcats are not without offensive ability at all.
Milicic and Henderson, the former conceited league's brothers, are now capable of combining 28.9 points per game for the Bobcats.
Although it was generated under Chen Momiao's peak passing, the mid-range shooting of the two of them was relatively stable, and they had a certain ability to create their own opportunities.
Just when Chen Mo was worried, Henderson hit a long two-point at the top of the arc, and the margin returned to double digits.
Confidence, once you have it, grows with success.
In the end, the Bobcats walked away with a win in Salt Lake City, and they ended up winning by seven points, with Corbyn making a mistake in the game.
Sloan went to a party with his old friends after the game, and Chen Mo also met someone he was more familiar with.
Stockton gave Chen Mo a hug on the sidelines, and then said: "Your progress is too fast, I'm not just worth defending." ”
"All my routines on the defensive end are taught by you!" Chen Mo said.
"You're a genius, a genius even more talented than Michael. Stockton said very seriously.
Stockton clearly had a basis for saying this, "I only taught you a few hours, and then you taught Arenas on defense a day later in Washington, D.C., and I was eating a snack while I was watching the game, and I was so surprised that I almost bit my tongue out." ”
Chen Mo said modestly: "The main thing is that you teach well." ”
"Haha! Actually, you're doing really well, you see no one is saying you're the dirtiest player in the league, you have your own way, you're doing a great job. Stockton said.
After a few words of greeting between the two of them, Stockton said, "We'll go have a few drinks later, and I'll take you to meet a senior." ”
After Chen Mo was interviewed, he fooled the press conference, and then the author Stockton's black Land Rover left the Energy Solutions Center.
"Tonight's press conference is Jerry Sloane, right?" Stockton quipped with a laugh.
"yes! blow the boss, and everyone is happy. Chen Mo said.
After a few words in the car, they came to a bar in another block, which was a very retro-style bar.
There, Chen Mo met another person in the Utah Twins, the postman Malone.
Malone poured a glass of liquor on the table for Chen Mo, and then said directly: "John said that you will become a legend of the point guard, change the style of play of the point guard, and then raise the tactical status of the point guard to a new level. ”
Ma Long took a sip of wine and said, "It's the kind of small-ball tactics you are playing now." But I don't think it's possible, basketball will always be a giant game, and the inside fight and collision are the root and charm of this game. ”
Stockton continued, "So Carl wants to talk to you, it's a very interesting thing, isn't it?"
Ma Long looked at Chen Mo and said, "I want to hear your understanding of the current small ball tactics, let's talk casually! In fact, I am mainly drinking with you today, John said that you are a very interesting person." ”
Chen Mo looked at Ma Long, although he had been retired for a long time, the muscle lines on Ma Long's body were still there, and he looked fierce and iron-blooded.
Chen Mo picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip of the Salt Lake City spirits that Malone said, a scorching burning sensation made Chen Mo feel that his esophagus was on fire, he put down the wine glass, and then said: "If you want to talk about our current small-ball tactics, in fact, I have nothing to say, you have all seen the results, and the current situation is ...... It's hard to lose. ”
"To sum it up...... Strong, invincible. Chen Mo answered Ma Long's question in a joking way, causing both of them to laugh.
In basketball, the game is always improving, and the progress of offense and defense in a spiral is the most virtuous circle, which cannot be answered by a player's performance or talk on paper. So Chen Mo's explanation of this joke is the most suitable. (To be continued.) )
