Today is the day of the release of Chen Mo's first signature shoe, the "Grim Reaper Generation", but the appeal of today's game itself has overshadowed the limelight of the sneakers. Although Under Armour's marketing tactics are very good, fans are generally looking forward to this sneaker. However, if this game failed to attract the attention of fans to the dark red sneakers on Chen Mo's feet, their plan to release the sneakers after this game would be a bit of a snake.
Kevin Planck was a little anxious, because whether it was the commentary of the game or the comments before the game, everyone seemed to have ignored Chen Mo's first signature shoe.
Even T-NT only promised them to show a sneaker ad once at halftime, and the official NBA ad at the game site did not give Under Armour even a second of time.
There is jealousy that Chen Mo got a super huge contract from Under Armour, and there is also the influence of the NBA's super sneaker giant Nike.
Steve Cool watched the live broadcast of the game with his assistant in his office, and when the TV broadcaster and the media ignored Chen Mo's first signature shoe of the evening, he lit a cigarette in satisfaction.
"Under Armour is too anxious, Jack Chan is too tender in the league, and he's still a yellow-skinned kid. Under Armour's plans are going bankrupt tonight. Steve Kuki muttered to himself: "If they don't succeed in this way, they don't have momentum, and they won't be afraid in the future." ”
Kevin Planck slammed his fist on the arm of the couch and yelled, "Damn!"
Adam Peake relieved: "Kevin, don't worry. I went to Jack at halftime and I had a solution. ”
Then Duck Peake muttered a few words in Kevin Plain's ear, and the anxiety on Kevin Blank's face finally faded, "Good idea, get Charlotte's storefront ready, we must fire the first shot today." ”
At this point, the game played for more than 5 minutes, and the Bobcats began to rotate in large areas. They replaced all three of their starting centre-forwards, with Augusti, Christian Dior and Thomas coming on.
When the Bobcats replaced these three men, the fans immediately burst into frantic cheers. Kevin Harlan also shouted, "Charlotte's storm is about to begin!"
Their Bobcats had already drained the Warriors of some stamina, and now that they're on a smaller lineup, the impact will be even stronger.
Sure enough, Chen Mo and Dior quickly rushed to the inside line after blocking and dismantling at 45° on the left side. The Warriors came to attack, and after Chen Mo saw that it was Radmanovic and Dorrell White, he didn't make any extra moves.
The Warriors' flanks were definitely empty, and Chen Mo didn't look at his teammates, and threw the ball to the front of the three-second zone.
Then Thomas jumps, catches the ball, and then blows up the frame!
David Lee didn't even react under the basket, he was about to fill the right position, but he didn't notice that Chen Mo's ball would be sent directly from the left. Radmanovic and Dorel, who went to pinch him, actually let Chen Mo send the pass so easily.
David Lee crosses his waist under the basket and questions the two of them, while the Bobcats are already retreating.
The Warriors used a large lineup to consume, and then continued to pick up a small lineup to bite, their routines played deeply, and the effect was quite good.
Their small lineup played for only three minutes, and the difference was opened in an instant. In the space of more than three minutes, the Bobcats made 16 shots, which shows how fast they attacked.
No one expected that the first quarter of the game would change to a small lineup after the Bobcats changed to a small lineup, and the Bobcats played an 18-6 attack wave in three minutes, and the difference instantly widened to 17 points.
Among the 18 points scored by the Bobcats, Chen Mo directly contributed 6 points, and at the same time scored 6 assists, which means that every point of these 18 points is related to Chen Mo.
The voices of Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller have not stopped, and the voices of the fans at the scene have been higher and higher. According to the decibel meter on the large screen at the scene, the cheers of the Time Warner Center reached 111 decibels, which is the highest decibel in the history of the Time Warner Center.
Today, the NBA arena noise record is 117 decibels at the Dallas Mavericks' U.S. Route Center. Time Warner Center's noise level was also only 6 decibels away from the record. Maybe one day, a new noise record will be born here!
After a whirlwind of fast play, Sloan replaced Chen Mo and Gerard Wallace, and the team's offense will be led by Livingston, with Dior in charge of the attack and mid-range shots, and Augustin in charge of breaking through to cause damage, which is the system they used to use.
The Warriors wanted to take advantage of the Bobcats' rotation to recover some points, and they were pretty much there, closing the deficit to 15 points at the end of the first quarter and recovering a two-point deficit.
In the second quarter, Sloan kept adjusting, and Chen Mo and Gerard Wallace never played. He used the rotation of other players and a very intense defense to give Chen Mo and Gerard Wallace more time to rest.
Finally, after a boring game, in the sixth minute of the second quarter, Chen Mo and Gerard Wallace finally came on the court. And the players on the court are the five players who set off the whirlwind of Charlotte's fast play in the first quarter.
"Charlotte's routine is to use big players and drain the opponent's energy. After the opponent's physical fitness drops, change to a small lineup to rush. Jack Chan's trait is that he can get the most out of his super-fast offensive and defensive transitions. Gerald Wallace's role has also been clarified in both lineups, with him being a defender in the big lineup and a defensive core in the small lineup, but he will be more responsible for attacking the opponent's basket. Reggie Miller gave an analysis of the Bobcats' tactics.
Kevin Harlan added: "There were doubts about whether the Bobcats' fast-break tactics would work in front of the Golden State, but as things stand, Jack's control of the game is significantly stronger than the Golden State's backcourt combination. And his accurate passing and extremely wide field of vision are once again amplified in the rapid attack. At the helm of Charlotte Bobcats, Jack is doing a very good job, he is not the legendary 'vampire player', he is a veritable playmaker, a great playmaker. Although this guy's attack firepower is not weak at all. ”
As the voices of these two on the commentary stage fell, the Charlotte storm led by Chen Mo hit again! )
