Chapter 655: Two fouls
It is not the first time that Chen Mo has beheaded Howard, and the time that makes Howard's heart the heaviest shadow is probably when Chen Mo said that he wanted him to rest, and then made Howard foul twice in the next two offenses to let him go to rest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Since then, Howard has a psychological shadow when he sees Chen Mo.
In this game, Chen Mo didn't think about beating Howard before, the Lakers' defensive system has always protected Howard, and they would rather let Chen Mo score easily, or foul early, rather than let Chen Mo hurt Howard.
The Zen Master adjusted the entire defensive direction of the team against the Warriors, and they focused on protecting Howard.
Taking advantage of this pause, Chen Mo arranged the next tactics well, and their tactical purpose was to change Howard's defense in front of Chen Mo.
From the very beginning, the Zen master laid out a plan to protect Howard, and they all knew how lethal Chen Mo was to the big center, and this was the reason why few teams would want to use a big lineup against the Warriors before.
Howard is now reaping the benefits of being a good teammate, and when Artest and Gerard Wallace are both focused on protecting him from foul trouble, he is much more comfortable playing against Chen Mo.
After the timeout, Howard saw that Chen Mo's face was a little gloomy and serious, and he laughed. As they looked at each other, Howard grimaced at Chen Mo.
Howard had never been so comfortable facing Chen Mo.
"You're going to make me foul!" Howard patted his chest.
Chen Mo nodded, Millsap drove the sideline ball, Biedrins went around it, and Howard didn't come out at all. Biedrins didn't shoot well, and he was the target of the Lakers' release.
Howard didn't come out, and Chen Mo decided to go in and find him himself.
Gerard Wallace and Paul flanked Chen Mo together, Biedrins was cleared, and Gerald Wallace blocked the passing path between Chen Mo and Biedrins as much as possible.
After all, Gerard Wallace is the person who is most familiar with Chen Mo in the entire Lakers, and he is more effective than others when defending Chen Mo's passing route.
Chen Mo pulled horizontally, and in a very narrow space, he made a change of direction. Everyone saw his intentions, and he was looking for Howard.
Chen Mo burst to the basket alone, the Lakers' defense was very seriously compressed by him, Chen Mo couldn't find Bidelins, and Kobe Bryant was intercepting his pass to the top of the arc. Chen Mo made a feint to pass the ball to Biedrins, and as soon as Gerard Wallace let it, Chen Mo scored a layup.
Howard stuck out his tongue at Chen Mo, and he kept provoking Chen Mo.
Bryant hit the first goal of the night on the offensive end, and the Lakers are in perfect rhythm right now.
Chen Mo's little temper has come up, and this time he must hit Howard. He made a gesture, which was an infinite pick-and-roll tactic. He didn't believe the Lakers could tolerate him from outside the three-point line.
In fact, the Lakers are indeed ready to let Chen Mo attack the basket.
They would put up a defense before Chen Mo broke through, but Chen Mo really broke through, and they were willing to let Chen Mo score. If Chen Mo can break through over and over again, even if he scores, his physical energy will be consumed at an accelerated rate. As the game progresses, his physical depletion will accelerate.
But Chen Mo didn't choose to break through this time, he wanted to solve Howard outside the three-point line.
Through continuous blocking and dismantling, Chen Mo finally caught the opportunity to face Howard one-on-one in the bottom corner.
After a series of dazzling dribbling moves, Kobe's assistance defense arrived, but Chen Mo was unmoved, he must hit Howard this time.
Howard's defense was very measured, but Chen Mo suddenly accelerated forward with small steps after pulling the ball to a negative angle. Howard couldn't dodge, he didn't expect Chen Mo's acceleration almost stepping on the bottom line to be so fast.
The bottom line referee almost stared at Chen Mo's feet, but Chen Mo was not stepped on by a fraction of a centimeter from the bottom line.
Kobe Bryant came up and wanted to hug Chen Mo, but Chen Mo suddenly jumped, and his body leaned forward very much, as if he was plunged into Howard's arms.
And at the moment of the last shot, Chen Mo changed his shot to lick the basket, he temporarily changed the method of shooting, and Howard couldn't dodge.
Chen Mo fell to the ground, and Howard's fingers rubbed against Chen Mo's wrist.
"Tick!" the referee blew the whistle.
And then, Chen Mo's difficult licking basket at a negative angle turned out to be crisp into the basket.
The fans chanted in unison, Chen Mo was pulled up by Kobe, and Kobe Bryant was really convinced.
Chen Mo smiled at Howard, his smile full of disdain.
The Zen master whistled and stood up. He was accusing other players of not fouling him early, and Chen Mo should have fouled him before he faced Howard.
"As long as you face me, I'm sure I'll be able to add a foul to your stats. Chen Mo said softly.
The expression on Howard's face was like that of a constipated patient sitting on the toilet, and he wanted to pour out so much that he finally tried to faint only a little bit of dry stuff.
After three more rounds of confrontation, Chen Mo found another opportunity to face Howard.
The Lakers didn't dare to let him go beyond the three-point line, and Howard had to keep up again.
Chen Mo seemed to be going to shoot directly this time, and he seemed to have jumped up. But when Howard pounced, Chen Mo took the ball back, the referee was indifferent, Chen Mo's toes did not leave the floor, he saw it really.
Howard saw that Chen Mo retracted his action and knew that it was going to be bad, and then Chen Mo was making a move, he hit Howard's arm, and Howard's inertia of swinging his arm downward smashed on the ball, but it also hit Chen Mo's hand.
Chen Mo seemed to have been violently slapped down by Howard, and crazy boos rang out at the scene. The fans thought it would be at least a technical foul, but the referee only gave a normal foul, and the referee insisted on his decision.
Chen Mo's movie was released, coupled with the referee team's research on Chen Mo, they found that Chen Mo was an acting school, and this time the referee saw Howard stop. They couldn't tell if Chen Mo was acting, but Howard's action of closing it meant that he didn't mean it, so an ordinary foul was enough.
Chen Mo stood up and made a "two" gesture at Howard, telling Howard that this was his second foul.
Howard's teeth itched, but he couldn't help it.
Phil Jackson sighed and replaced Howard. At the same time, he asked the new Jordan Hill to take the talk, and their offensive focus shifted to Kobe Bryant and Paul on the perimeter.
The Lakers quickly made adjustments, and the Warriors finally knocked out Howard, their most feared man.
The Zen master continued to think that they had to give Howard more protection.
