Chapter 230: The Devil's Home Field
Griffin's gloomy face seemed to be dripping, but there was nothing they could do, Chen Mo's 64 points and 11 assists in the third quarter made all the players of the Clippers feel a sense of powerlessness. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Griffin thought that his dunk would be able to occupy a place in tomorrow's news, and a Chinese reporter told him that many Chinese fans gave him the nickname "Zhilifen" because of his domineering and good-looking dunks.
However, now, his only fig leaf was also crushed under Chen Mo's planning.
Chen Mo did not play again in the final quarter, and the Bobcats also easily took away a victory in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Documentary reported on the game with the headline "Staples Bleeds", and while Chen Mo scored 64 points like crazy, everyone filtered out the lace news he left behind in Los Angeles.
Jessica and Chen Mo meet up again outside of Staples, and then Charlotte Bobcats depart for their next destination, Salt Lake City.
This game is very much hype for many media reporters, because Bobcats head coach Jerry Sloan has an inextricable relationship with this team, and the Jazz are deeply branded by Sloan, and even the first reaction to see Sloan so far will be the Utah Jazz.
But the reporters found that they had nothing to hype up other than feelings.
The Jazz sent Deron to the Nets in early January, and they just came away from a six-game losing streak and are now in 10th place in the West, and they can't hold on to their playoff spot this year.
With a huge gap in strength between the two teams, the hype of this game turned into nostalgia and blessings for the old coach Sloan.
Chen Mo didn't feel the game at all, but when he visited Salt Lake City for the second time in his life, he realized how difficult it was for the Jazz to achieve success in the 90s, and how important Sloan's dedication was.
When Chen Mo came to Salt Lake City last year, it was November, although it was already a little cold in Salt Lake City at that time, but this time it was so cold that Chen Mo wanted to scold her mother.
When Chen Mo and the others arrived, Salt Lake City was already in a gloomy wind, and when they got up in the morning after staying overnight, due to the great lake effect of the Great Salt Lake, it was snowing heavily in the entire Salt Lake City.
Hornacek said that this kind of snow falls several times a year in Salt Lake City.
In addition, Salt Lake City is also the headquarters of the Mormon Church, and the racial discrimination here is very, very serious. So this place, it's really hard to attract superstars.
"This damn place is as cold as a grandson." Thomas complained loudly as he ate his breakfast.
This is the sixth time that Chen Mo has complained in the half hour he has seen Thomas.
"Tyrus, you have to complain once every five minutes on average, aren't you annoyed?" Chen Mo said as he spread butter on the bread.
The worst thing is that Salt Lake City, where the wind is roaring and the storm is raging, is especially a plateau. Maybe no one on the Bobcats wants to come here to play away anymore except for Sloane!
On Feb. 1, the Bobcats welcomed their first game of February at the Energy Solutions arena in Salt Lake City. They have won all 16 games in January and will naturally be hoping for a good start in February.
However, the plateau here is 1,300 meters, and it is still snowing hard, and the lynx is in a poor state when it is running back and forth.
In the past, Sloan came out with the players, but this time he stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel a long time in advance, not knowing what he was thinking.
Hornacek stayed with Sloane, and neither of them spoke.
Before the game began, Chen Mo saw tears in Sloane's eyes.
Chen Mo sighed secretly, 22 years of perseverance, from black hair to white hair, how can you not be sad when you revisit the old place?
Life is made up of countless partings and encounters, and Sloane's feelings are just a small episode before the game.
When Sloan came out, the crowd was deafening with cheers, and the coach was the one who received the most cheers of all the people who played tonight.
Many fans held signs that read "Welcome home," and Sloan could barely contain tears in his eyes. At this moment, the feelings in his heart are very, very complicated.
I don't know if it's because the coach is in a complicated mood, but after the game started, the Bobcat's hand felt colder than the temperature outside the arena.
The Jazz are very tight on Chen Mo's defense, and they will defend Chen Mo almost at all costs, perhaps because they are unwilling to repeat the mistakes of the Clippers!
The Clippers let Chen Mo score, and then Chen Mo was blown up by himself. Therefore, the Jazz decided to go the opposite way with the Clippers and completely guarded Chen Mo.
They prevented Chen Mo's scoring, but they couldn't prevent Chen Mo's passing, but the whole team felt cold, and the game fell behind from the beginning.
"I thought my team was ahead!" Sloan said to Hornacek next to him.
Hornacek sighed and did not speak.
At this time, the Bobcats trailed the Jazz 4-12, and Chen Mo passed at least 6 absolute chances in 4 minutes, but only two hits.
Chen Mo really wants to step up and take over the game himself, but he will never shoot in a two-person or even three-person situation, that is not his style.
In fact, it has long been said that behind Chen Mo's high shooting rate, his excellent shooting selection is a very important reason.
Al Jefferson hit another turnaround jumper to stretch the margin to 14 points.
Sloane's thoughts pulled back, and he called a timeout.
Sloan took the tactics board and said, "Darko goes to the top of the arc to respond, Jack plays without the ball, and now he has to bite the score." ”
Meanwhile, Sloan replaced Mohammed with Gerard Henderson. Now the Bobcats are not grinding their butts with the Jazz and are physically exhausted, they are now at a disadvantage and need to speed up some tempo to bite the score.
Henderson's hand was equally bad, but as Chen Mo got more opportunities, the Bobcats gradually bit the score and didn't let the Jazz pull the difference away for a moment.
"Let's fight like this first! I'll find a chance to close the game later. Chen Mo thought to himself after hitting a jumper in the left horn area.
Chen Mo also felt a little tired in today's game, it was obvious that the days of fighting and the harsh environment of Salt Lake City had greatly tested their physical fitness.
The Jazz's home record has always been extremely strong, and this is Chen Mo's first game in Salt Lake City, and he now fully understands the reason for the Jazz's home game.
"Al (Jefferson) is strong in attack and weak in defense, defensive awareness and attitude are the biggest weaknesses, use speed to exchange shots, and get it done in three quarters!" Chen Mo had already made a decision in his heart. (To be continued.) )
