Chapter 130 The Game Is Wasted Before You Even Break A Sweat? !
Ever since Gasol was ‘robbed’ by the Lakers,
The Memphis Grizzlies announced their official rebuild.
With the infusion of new blood, this Grizzlies team is already a brand new team.
The No. 1 high school student in the United States, OJ Mayo is striving for Rookie of the Year with an average of 18.5 points per game this season.
The future Mr. Billionaire, until Mike Kang, the man who sells the most contracts in the league.
The future core of the Grizzlies, Gasol's younger brother, Marc Gasol.
The joining of these very talented young people has indeed given Memphis fans a lot of hope for the future.
Jz....
Memphis fans who have reached the top and seen different scenery will obviously not be satisfied.
Standing in front of these young people is the darling of Memphis - Chen Hao!
Just like the white moonlight and cinnabar mole in everyone's heart.
How does this make Memphis fans forget about him?
Even if Chen Hao can't play, just standing on the court can make Memphis fans cheer!
Just like now,
When the whistle blows, the ball is thrown into the air and the game begins.
When Chen Hao touched the ball for the first time, the audience cheered continuously.
Really. Turn the away game into a home game.
Seeing how enthusiastic the fans were, Chen Hao, who was grabbing the ball with one hand at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, was no longer polite.
He directly made a tactical gesture for singles and then "three nine three", indicating to his teammates to pull away!
"Haha... Xiaohao, long time no see"
"It's such a pity. After the NCAA ended, I still imagined playing in the NBA with you."
"Come on, let me personally feel your current strength."
Rudy Gay clapped his hands and said with a smile.
This atmosphere is like being in a performance.
And when he finished speaking, Chen Hao responded with a big white-toothed smile, then made a simple threat with a tentative step, and then released the ball with one hand to break through.
So fast!?
Rudy Gay was shocked when he actually lost his position!
Don't blame him either.
After raising his dribbling attribute to about 85 points, Chen Hao does not light up Uncle Drew's badge, but just relies on his dribbling speed to achieve the 'fastest first step in the league!
Even though Rudy Gay's physical fitness is superb, he is a tough guy.
After another two years of training in the league, he was hailed as the next Tracy McGrady and the next LeBron. He is now the star and leading scorer of the Grizzlies team.
But for Chen Hao, what's the difference?
When dribbling attributes gradually no longer limit speed,
If I should pass you by one step, I should pass you by one step.
And how could Rudy Gay not be shocked by this explosive starting speed and the figure floating past him like the wind.
Think back when Chen Hao was working hard on defense with the Grizzlies, how could he make any breakthroughs?
He runs extremely fast without the ball, but as soon as he gets the ball, it immediately becomes a 'big man layup!'
Is this rate of progress so terrifying!?
Only by experiencing it personally can you truly feel its power. Rudy Gay quickly pursued the defense.
But the next moment,
Chen Hao, who was near the free throw line, was already floating in the air.
Bend the knees, raise the elbows, stretch the abdomen, and exert force in an extremely smooth manner. It is a picturesque pull-up jumper.
He tilted his elbow slightly backward and moved his wrist, and the basketball spun and flew away from his fingertips, tracing an elegant arc.
The shooting posture is like a shooting textbook, and the elegant posture is not sloppy at all.
"brush!"
The basketball hit the net straight and hollow, and the net surged into waves, showing Chen Hao's abnormal shooting touch.
The moment the ball scored,
The cheers from the audience overturned the entire FedEx Center Arena.
That’s right!
That’s what it tastes like!
Last year, it was his incomparable mid-range shot that defeated strong opponents one after another in this place!
This picturesque jump shot is what we watched become fishy little by little!
Fans wearing filters are not watching any football game, they are watching the glory of the past!
But the game continues.
When Chen Hao scored the first goal of the game, this match, which seemed like an exhibition match, turned out to be more intense than expected.
The young Bears seemed to be stimulated by the Memphis fans.
When we came back to attack, we played very aggressively.
Mike Conley held the ball for half the game. Although he has only played in the NBA for one season, he has already shown his sophistication and maturity on the court.
Facing Watson's pressing, Mike Conley did not panic at all. After borrowing a pick-and-roll, he directed the ball to Rudy Gay on the wing.
After Rudy Gay and Marc Gasol made a pick-and-roll,
The basketball was passed to OJ Mayo who cut in from the other side.
OJ Mayo, who wears jersey No. 32, was known as the man with the most superstar looks before Chen Hao was born.
After entering the NBA, he became a rising star.
Especially in this life, because of the pressure Chen Hao brought to him, he did not have to be lazy in training, have conflicts with teammates, and frequently have negative news off the court like in his previous life. Kangshi was more focused on the court.
This makes him very popular among Memphis fans.
On the court, he also gained more trust from his teammates.
oJ Mayo thinks so too. He trains hard just to catch up with the figure who once scored 41 points on his head.
He felt that he had lied too much in the past.
Even if he can't surpass that figure for the time being, he will let that person know tonight that there is always a strong pursuer behind him!
"are you talking about me?"
Same place, same posture, even the same death block!
The moment OJ Mayo jumped up for a layup, Chen Hao jumped up from behind him and slapped the ball to the ground.
Under the cover of violence,
The basketball bottomed out and rebounded even higher than the basket!
????
It was as if I could feel time going back, and cold memories came to my mind.
oj Mayo was dumbfounded when he saw the basketball being slapped away again!
Is the gap that big?
How come a year has passed and I was fooled so easily again?!
Before OJ Mayo could think about the problem, the Grizzlies attacked again, but Durant stretched his long arms and grabbed it.
Although the Grizzlies played very hard tonight, the strength of the two teams is on the table.
The Thunder, no matter how unworthy of their name, are still the team with the number one record in the league.
The Grizzlies have less than a year to tear down and rebuild.
The label of being a bad team will have to be carried for a few more years.
No matter how talented the rookies are, they are only in the future, and now they can only be beaten to level up.
After all, not every talented rookie is named Chen Hao.
Also because of this,
Tonight's game is actually not a big regret for the Thunder.
Starting from Durant's interception, the Grizzlies were completely overwhelmed.
It may be a bit overwhelming for Durant to fight against veterans who have been in the NBA for many years and whose bodies are full of muscles.
But against the newcomers of the same period, Durant's historical talent is really a crushing game.
Durant can do pull-up jumpers, fast break three-pointers, and even change-of-direction breakthroughs.
It doesn’t matter if you can fight,
The key is that the offensive efficiency is extremely high.
Before Chen Hao could take action, at the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led by 8 points with a score of 33 to 25!
Well... Chen Hao admitted that he released a Pacific Ocean of water...
Without him, such an opponent would really not be able to withstand his own destruction.
Originally, he had also thought about what the greatest respect would be if he went all out, and he thought about clicking whichever badge lit up, giving the fans a wonderful offensive feast.
However, if we play like this, it is estimated that half of the game will be spent, and the fans will not even be able to see anyone.
And, to be honest, I really can’t do it.
Ever since,
Chen Hao, who was not able to fully demonstrate his talent, experimented with the "prototype version of the big core with the ball" style of play.
After the second quarter,
Chen Hao activated version 2.0 of the Thunder trio.
Following a pick-and-roll from Joakim Noah, Chen Hao turned his hips to change the rhythm. After taking a step forward, he accurately lobbed the ball into the hands of Joakim Noah.
This goal shocked Joakim Noah.
The passing quality is so good that you can see it with the naked eye!
The basketball falls straight into the arms, no need to make any adjustments.
The timing is just right!
Just as he squeezed past Marc Gasol's delay and reached the basket, the ball arrived.
Without hesitation, I could not eat the food that was put into my mouth.
Joakim Noah, who was strong, took advantage of the situation and dunked with both hands, adding two more points to the Thunder.
"Brother, this ball is great! It's so comfortable!"
"There will be another one later. I ate too fast and didn't feel it!"
"I also want!"
The two people who are waiting for food are both knowledgeable.
Only Watson on the side showed a surprised expression:???
what?
It’s over, I’ve even lost my status as a tool?!
Just when Watson is having an "unemployment crisis", Noah is going to vomit after eating the cake tonight.
It's a simple pick-and-roll tactic,
But the Grizzlies just couldn't find a way to deal with it.
Whether it's Marc Gasol's slight disadvantage against Joakim Noah, or Chen Hao's unstoppable breakthrough and high-quality passing.
All giving the Grizzlies a headache.
Just like this round, when Rudy Gay thought it was another pick-and-roll and Chen Hao was about to go to the left.
Chen Hao pulled his crotch back and broke through from the right.
Even Joakim Noah's pick-and-roll was just a false screen.
When Chen Hao drew the attention of Rudy Gay and Marc Gasol, the vacated Joakim Noah rushed to the basket, caught the ball and dunked.
This makes Joakim Noah, who is good at eating cakes under the basket with a score of 1.2, go crazy with joy.
The joy of earning points is back again.
The most egregious thing is probably this goal.
The same pick-and-roll, the same pass, just after the ball was hit and passed to Noah.
Joakim Noah, who was surrounded in the paint, actually passed the ball back to Chen Hao near the free throw line.
Chen Hao, who passed the ball with one hand, did not stop for a moment.
He didn’t even make the move to take it back and send it out again,
With a flick of the wrist, the ball was in the hands of Nick Collison, who was left open.
Catching the ball, turning around, hitting the boards, Nick Collison's offense in one go, and the Thunder's smooth offense all made the Grizzlies a little desperate...
finished,
If you can't show your talent, forget it.
The Thunder's offensive strength in version 2.0 has not been fully utilized, and it will take a lot of effort to compete with others.
When the first half is over,
If it weren't for the Thunder's awesome substitutes, which allowed the Grizzlies to catch up by many points, the point difference would probably have been 58 again!
I looked at Rudy Gay, OJ Mayo, Mike Conley, and Marc Gasol.
Chen Hao, who didn't even have sweat on his forehead, had doubts in his heart.
Am I already so strong?
Why don't I feel anything at all...
