NBA: Expansion becomes stronger

After Duncan's vignette.

The warm-up time is over.

The game between the two teams went on as normal, with both starters starting the pitch.

San Antonio Spurs starters: Patrick Mills (guard) + Dejounte Murray (guard) + Rudy Gay (forward) + Kyle Anderson (forward) + Jeffrey Lowingi (center).

Los Angeles Lakers starters: Lonzo Ball (guard) + Kentavios Cardwell Pope (guard) + Kyle Kuzma (forward) + Brandon Ingram (forward) + Chen Hao (center).

Although Popovich played like this, although it was a good thing for the team, it greatly reduced the enjoyment of the game and made this matchup lose suspense from the beginning. "

"That's right. That's Popovich's style, though. "

Between O'Neill and Barkley.

The game on the field begins.

The Spurs substitute center and Chen Hao jumped the ball, there will be no reversal, Chen Hao picked up the basketball, and once again helped the team win the ball for the first offense.

But......

Just as Ball was in possession of the ball and the game was less than 5 seconds long.

"Beep-beep!"

The referee's whistle blows.

What's going on?!

Countless fans and spectators were stunned, and their eyes looked at the referee in unison.

"Guy fouled Chen Hao without the ball?!"

Seeing the referee's gesture and seeing Guy hugging Chen Hao in the middle circle, the fans were dumbfounded.

"Cut" Chen Hao at the beginning?!

This...... What kind of operation is this?!

Not only the fans, but even the Lakers players and even the Spurs players were stunned, and it seemed that they were ...... Only Gay and Popovich on the sidelines and the assistant coach are clear.

Chen Hao looked sideways.

I saw that on the Spurs bench, Popovich and the two assistant coaches were smiling and giving Chen Hao a thumbs up.

This scene was captured on camera.

In the back studio, O'Neill and Barkley certainly saw the scene.

Barkley immediately understood, and smiled at O'Neal, "Hey, Shaquille, you know what? Chen Hao has enjoyed the same treatment as you." "

"Haha!"

O'Neill laughed.

How could he not know.

When O'Neill was dominant, Popovich single-handedly "cut" the shark tactic, but the dominant O'Neill, who was "chopping" to death, almost exploded.

In the 07-08 season, the Suns with O'Neal were even more miserable in the playoffs and the Spurs.

This made O'Neill even more angry at the end of his career.

If you have something to do, take it out and say it.

That...... In the first matchup between the Spurs and the Suns next year, Popovich "cut" the shark in the first 5 seconds, hoping to recognize O'Neal's strength and resolve the grievances between the two in this way.

But.

It is undeniable that it is O'Neill who is too strong to qualify for Popovich to use this tactic.

Right now.

Popovich used the same tactics against Chen Hao, and even directly rotated the main players and gave up the game, which is tantamount to admitting the dominance of Chen Hao's center.

Now in this era of small balls.

There are only a handful of centers that can be recognized by Popovich, which is enough to show Chen Hao's strength.

"Cut" Chen Hao at the beginning, this is Popovich's recognition of Chen Hao, and it can also be regarded as an appreciation gift to Chen Hao. "

Barkley laughed.

O'Neill nodded and said, "If it's Chen Hao, he deserves the same treatment as me." "

"Shaquille, Chen Hao's treatment is even higher than yours, you only have such treatment after you dominate the NBA, and Chen Hao is ...... He's just a rookie!"

......

on the field.

This little episode at the beginning of the game warmed up the atmosphere of the stadium slightly.

Then the main race began.

The Spurs, who are resting several main players in rotation, are certainly not the Lakers' opponents, or ...... Not Chen Hao's opponent.

First section.

7 minutes and 13 seconds.

Chen Hao scored 18 points + 9 rebounds + 3 blocks and led the team to establish a 12-point advantage.

Subsection.

Chen Hao continued to play, playing 9 minutes and 15 seconds, and once again scored 22 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, leading the team to establish a huge advantage of 27 points.

Second.

Chen Hao did not play.

His stats are also fixed at 40 points, 19 rebounds and 6 blocks.

Throughout the first half, although the lack of the main Spurs made the game a little boring, but ...... Chen Hao slammed the dunk every time.

It's always exciting!

The charm of the aesthetics of violence, when placed in any ball game, is extremely shining.

The game goes into garbage time early.

Ultimately.

With a 15-point advantage, the Lakers won the game, extending their winning streak to nine games and continuing their unbeaten season.

After the game.

Popovich took the initiative to walk to the Lakers bench, leaned in front of Chen Hao, and said softly: "Chen Hao, you are a very good center, I want to ...... You're going to have a better development at Spurs. "

Poaching people is so straightforward?!

Chen Hao smiled faintly: "I remember you once said that your team doesn't need players who average 30+ per game, I ......"

"I can make an exception for you!"

Popovich said seriously.

"Well, I can consider that chance. "

Chen Hao was a little surprised, but still smiled and did not give a positive answer.

Old man Popovich nodded lightly, patted Chen Hao again, and turned to leave, this answer ...... He was already quite satisfied.

Followed by.

Tim Duncan also walked over, still looking dumbfounded, looked at Chen Hao, and said with a smile: "Tonight's performance is as good as ever, you are the best center of the current era." "

"Thank you!"

Chen Hao smiled modestly.

In front of Tim Duncan, except for the first meeting to feel the system, Chen Hao still respects him a lot, just like he treats Old Man Bobo.

"Smack!"

Duncan patted Chen Hao on the shoulder and said seriously: "Although it is a pity not to come to the Spurs, I respect your choice, and ...... other"

"This season the league is yours!"

Chen Hao's pupils shrank.

He remembered that the same thing Duncan had said to "Emperor Zhan", but it was just ...... One is "the future" and the other is ...... "this season".

Beside.

The beautiful reporter who was waiting for an interview had grown her mouth at the moment and fell into shock.
