NBA: I really just want to make money

Just when Chen Hao was ready to show his strength in the next game against the Nuggets, the team informed him that he would not have to participate in the subsequent preseason, and then he would start to practice with the team's main team and start building momentum for the new season.

This is also the intra-team training match between Chen Hao's substitute team and the main team led by Kobe Bryant today.

As soon as the game began, Chen Hao was paired with Kobe.

There was no way, Kobe Bryant ignored anyone, and came to the door directly, Chen Hao said that he couldn't show weakness, so he chose to be tough.

"You did well in the preseason~" Kobe Bryant's eyes were a little inexplicable.

Chen Hao did not doubt him: "It's average, after all, it's only a preseason, the intensity of the game is not too big, I'm a man who can guard against Kobe Bryant, if I can't even play the preseason, it's too inferior~".

"Arrogant guy, the only one in this world who can guard against me is myself~" Kobe Bryant said confidently.

Without waiting for a response, it is a direct offensive.

Everyone else in the arena pulled away, happy to watch the showdown between Kobe Bryant and Chen Hao on the sidelines.

With the end of the previous two games with the Wizards, Chen Hao showed a strong outside single defense ability in a direct head-to-head confrontation with Arenas, who is known as a scoring machine, and showed his outstanding talent in ball control and organization.

In the second game against the Wizards, Arenas even exploded in his mentality, directly fouled him, and finally left the court in anger, which was hyped by the news media, and it can be said that the whole league exploded.

Arenas, who averaged 25.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game last season, is undoubtedly an All-Star level, and this season has been given higher expectations, but he was limited by a rookie who has just entered the league, and he has been made to explode mentality, which is really surprising.

More people began to pay attention to Chen Hao, a rookie rookie.

This includes the media and fans who have been betting on the Rockets, specifically Da Yao.

They began to pay attention to this Chinese compatriot who suddenly appeared.

This made Chen Hao directly enter the field of vision of fans and viewers without having a regular season, and his popularity and attention increased at a very fast speed.

This is especially true in the Lakers, and the eyes that look at Chen Hao have become different.

But after all, Odom and others have not seen Chen Hao's play with their own eyes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and now they have the opportunity to really feel Chen Hao's defensive ability, so naturally they will not miss it, and they have become spectators on the sidelines.

Ignoring these, Chen Hao focused on Kobe's defense.

Let Kobe's rhythm change in a thousand ways, and I will not move!

has always been perfectly stuck on Kobe's offensive line, not giving him a chance to break through the past, and failing to completely get rid of the defense after repeated cycles, Kobe Bryant is not in a hurry, after all, he has long known Chen Hao's extremely strong defensive ability.

This time, I just want other teammates, and even Phil Jackson, as the head coach, to feel Chen Hao's strength.

is undoubtedly helping Chen Hao Liwei.

On the basketball court, strength is always the most important thing.

As long as he can show enough strength to convince the coach and teammates, Chen Hao will definitely get more opportunities in the Lakers in the new season, which is something that Kobe Bryant is very happy to see, after all, Chen Hao is a teammate he admits and is very optimistic about~

I don't know this, Chen Hao is just going all out to defend, anyway, facing Kobe, small actions or something, the other party will not care, naturally there will be no shortage, the small money is growing very rapidly, this kind of style makes Phil Jackson, who is watching from the sidelines, frown.

Hoffman, who was standing next to him, explained in a timely manner: "Phil, don't think that Hao will do this only if he has a good relationship with Bryant, the last game against the Wizards, just the first time he saw Arenas, he dared to do this, the defensive end is very dedicated, and he doesn't care about feathers so much." "

"It's not like a rookie from this era, but like a rookie from our era. Phil Jackson replied lightly, with a hint of recognition in his eyes.

How could Hoffman not know what his old buddy thought, and nodded in agreement immediately, Chen Hao's defensive style and style can be said to be diametrically opposed to the rookies of this era, but it is very popular among the old people who have experienced the league in the nineties.

That's what basketball is supposed to look like!

Real man, just do it!

Basketball is a sport that doesn't lose its sissies!

The eyes are not deceiving, Chen Hao has a big heart and is extremely focused on defense, which is very appreciated.

At the same time, the duel on the court continued, Kobe Bryant finally completed the breakthrough, and while making a stop-and-go jump shot, he suffered from Chen Hao's blindfolded defense, which was the first time Chen Hao had implemented this defensive method against Kobe.

Kobe Bryant will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

The basketball pops up and pops up.

Bynum protected the rebound and passed the ball.

"Smack~".

As soon as Chen Hao raised his hand to receive the basketball, Kobe Bryant had already stepped forward defensively, without giving any gaps, and the intensity was extremely high.

This gave people around them the illusion that this game was not just an intra-team training game, but more like a playoff game!

In the face of a rookie, Kobe Bryant turned out to be so serious!

Facing Kobe's aggressive pressing defense, Chen Hao controlled the ball steadily, made full use of his ball control skills, did not give Kobe the slightest chance to steal, and did not blindly confront Kobe Bryant.

"I'm very smart to play and I'm very good at protecting the ball~" Phil Jackson's eyes flashed with appreciation.

Having coached Kobe Bryant for several seasons, he knows a lot about his defensive capabilities.

Being able to ensure that basketball is not lost in Kobe's all-out defense, and can also steadily advance to the frontcourt, Chen Hao's ball control ability is worthy of recognition, and it is enough to deal with the regular season and even the vast majority of the playoffs, and he is an excellent point guard candidate.

However, the next scene that happened made Phil Jackson directly decide to position Chen Hao as the team's starting point guard in the new season.

I saw that after Chen Hao relied on the block to dismantle Kobe, he smoothly burst into the penalty area, passed the ball behind without looking at people, and sent the basketball to the hands of Turiaf who cut into the penalty area, who jumped up after receiving the ball and scored with both hands.

How did he see Turyaf?!

That's what most of the Lakers players on the court really think in their hearts.

Onlookers are clear, Phil Jackson can see very clearly on the sidelines, Chen Hao is advancing with the ball, and even when he breaks through, he is almost observing the position of each player on the field at all times, his vision is very good, and his passing awareness is even better.

Such a player can be said to perfectly make up for Kobe's shortcomings.

Don't look at Kobe Bryant's average of 4.5 assists per game last season, but he chooses to pass more when he has no chance on his side, and the active passing is very rare, and the passing time is too sudden, and the ball is not according to the routine, and the receiver can't react many times.

In order to perfectly cooperate with Kobe Bryant and receive his passes, the receiver's strength and concentration must be very focused.

It can be said that Bryant's passing organization needs the cooperation of his teammates, who are very passive.

Chen Hao is the opposite, in whom Phil Jackson sees the potential of a top point guard.

Able to take the initiative to match the playing habits and styles of teammates, and give extremely comfortable passes.

Anyway, the goal given to him by the team this season is only to enter the playoffs and break through the first round as much as possible, Phil Jackson said that it should not be a big problem to enter the playoffs, after all, there is more Chen Hao, a strong reinforcement, but unfortunately he only signed for one year.

Thinking of this, Phil Jackson has begun to think about how to sign a new contract with Chen Hao, the Lakers now have a very generous salary space, and they can provide Chen Hao with a lucrative contract to keep him on the team.

Of course, these are all later words, the contract has just been signed, and it is certainly impractical to want to replace it now.

The game on the field continued, Chen Hao cooperated very well with everyone in the substitute lineup, did not compete for the right to play, and liked to pass the ball, which aroused great favor from everyone.

There is no one who does not like to eat bread.

It's still the kind of cake that doesn't need to be too strenuous and can be eaten as long as you open your mouth, and there is really no reason to refuse.

Seeing that Chen Hao led the substitute lineup to play well, although he was still suppressed by the main lineup, but there were also wonderful pictures from time to time, Phil Jackson nodded secretly, and immediately ordered Hoffman on the side.

The latter directly stopped the game, and instead let Chen Hao switch positions with Smush Parker and enter the main lineup.

Paired with Kobe, Odom, Meme, and Cook.

This is a very clear indication that it is testing who can better integrate into the main lineup between Chen Hao and Parker.

The main team organizes the attack~

Kobe Bryant didn't ask for the ball for the first time, compared to Parker, he must have trusted Chen Hao more, so he was naturally happy to be relaxed and didn't blindly take care of everything.

After half the court of possession of the ball, Chen Hao suffered Parker's tight defense for the first time, looked as usual, and gave Kobe Bryant a look a few steps away.

With a comprehension, Kobe Bryant rushed over quickly to help block and dismantle~

Shocked a lot of eyeballs~

The boss of the team helps the rookie block the team, which is not a dream.

However, that's what happened, relying on the blocking and dismantling to easily get rid of the defense, and brushing the money for a successful breakthrough, Chen Hao easily broke into the free throw line area, and didn't look at the situation behind him at all, telling the sports that the basketball seemed to be out of his hands, and flew out of his fingertips at a very fast speed.

It slammed down on the rebound.

"Mistake?" Parker thought with delight.

Parker has always been very vigilant about the biggest contender for the starting position in front of him, and is naturally very happy to see Chen Hao make mistakes.

But soon, before he could continue his reverie, a figure soared directly into the air, grabbed the rebounding basketball, and pressed it into the basket.

Kobe Bryant!

At this moment, Black Mamba turned into Peter Pan ......

"This ball is a little rough pass~" Kobe Bryant said proudly.

After getting along for such a long time, Chen Hao didn't know Kobe's thoughts, and immediately laughed: "Doesn't this mean that you know that you are capable and can definitely receive it, so I won't bother with that~".

"En~".

Very satisfied with Chen Hao's reply, Kobe Bryant ran to the frontcourt.

"This guy is too easy to coax~" Chen Hao laughed.

On the defensive end, he was not polite at all, and Parker, who had already found him back on the court and kept his starting position, suddenly doubted his life.

Who am I?

Where am I?

Is this really the Chinese in my impression?

Chen Hao, whose defensive ability is no longer what it used to be, made a strong steal, quickly controlled the ball over half the court, and cooperated with Odom's one-two-one pass, easily broke through the defenders, and the front was flat.

rushed into the penalty area, just when everyone thought that Chen Hao wanted to score by himself, he smashed the basketball from his crotch to the floor.

Odom, who had been following closely behind him, received a pass, jumped up and scored with both hands.

After landing, he slapped Chen Hao excitedly.

"It's so beautiful~".

"Your slam dunk is very domineering~".

Chen Hao and Odom are blowing each other's business, and they seem to have a very harmonious relationship.

But he didn't notice that a few steps of surgery were sour and sour, and he said that he would only be each other's angels, so why did he rebel.

In the subsequent game time, Chen Hao completely restricted Parker on the defensive end, and the offensive end was incomparably compatible with his teammates, and wonderful pictures appeared from time to time, completely dispelling the most hesitant in Phil Jackson's heart.

After the team's internal game, he directly announced that Chen Hao would be the team's main point guard in the new season, which was considered to have decided the non-centrific thoughts of others.

Smush Parker: "******!".

With less than ten days left before the start of the new season, the Lakers have finally confirmed the starting five tigers, and the positions of the other players are also confirmed, ready to wait for the new season to begin~

The specific lineup is as follows......

Center: Chris Meme

Power forward: Brian Cook

Small forward: Lamar Odom

Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant

Point guard: Chen Hao

In addition to the starting five, the team also has substitutes and role players such as Kwame Bulang, Ronny Turiaf, Sasha Vujacic, Devin George, etc., and the overall squad strength is not among the best in the West.

But Phil Jackson looked at Chen Hao's happy conversation with Kobe, but he had an inexplicable trace of confidence in his heart.

There may be surprises in the new season.
