Chapter 110 Dissonance Factors
Chapter 110 Disharmonious Factors
With Chen Cheng's three-pointer entering the net, the difference between the two teams reached 15 points.
Patterson had not realized that the Chinese boy in front of him had completed a qualitative overturn in his shooting skills.
In his eyes, Chen Cheng is just an ordinary pitcher who makes 3 of 10 shots.
With less than 24 seconds left in the second quarter, Stoudemire's control of the ball and suppressing the rhythm will make this last attack.
Fisher tried hard to lower his focus and strictly prevented his breakthrough.
He always wandered outside, looking for opportunities, and there were 8 seconds left. Xiao Feishe suddenly launched an attack, and Randolph immediately came out from the inside to cover him.
Judging from this posture, Stoudemire must have broken through the inside, took away the defender, and then knocked back Randolph to complete the middle distance.
Chen Cheng has seen this tactic many times in the Trail Blazers game video.
After starting the execution, it was as expected by Chen Cheng.
Randolph continued to pull out after cover, Sampson went to chase Stoudemire, and Fisher misplaced defender Randolph.
At this moment, Chen Cheng winked at Cook, suddenly left Anderson who was guarding him, and stepped forward to double-team Randolph with Payton.
Cook understood and helped Chen Cheng back up the defense of Anderson.
Wallace, the player he was marking, appeared to have an open space.
Stoudemire jumped high and wanted to pass back to find out that Randolph was double-teamed, so he had to throw the ball to Wallace, who was in the open position.
Roaring Tianzun received the ball and used his signature straight-arm shot. Unfortunately, he took the action for too long. Before the ball was shot, the rebound was already on the red light.
A player like Chen Cheng with a very high ball quotient can grasp the opponent's weakness when he comes on the court. The Zen master looked at Chen Cheng's defensive choice in the last round and nodded with satisfaction.
The second quarter ends.
The Lakers, who played at home, were 15 points behind the Trail Blazers 39:54.
39 points are also the lowest score in the halftime since Chen Cheng joined.
Instead of returning to the locker room directly, Randolph stepped forward to find Stoudemire to argue.
"Why did that ball be passed to him just now?"
"Man, you were double-teamed by two people just now, and Rashid was in the open seat."
"Just two small players, do you think I am you? Will be blocked by someone who is six feet tall? I am the leader of the team, and the last attack must be carried out by me, not him!"
Randolph shouted at Stoudemire with a frown.
Stoudemire simply shut up and stopped talking, took a towel and covered his head, and walked to the locker room.
Chen Cheng walked past them and heard Randolph's complaints, with a sly smile on his face.
Yang Yuxin had already rushed to the player's passage. Before she could speak, Chen Cheng went forward directly through the guardrail and hugged her tightly into his arms without hesitation.
"Thank you, my dear!" Thank you for helping me find a good helper like Qiao. Now all my problems have been solved and I can finally play ball with peace of mind! Thank you!" As he said that, Chen Cheng leaned forward and kissed her affectionately.
Such enthusiastic actions in full view of everyone made Yang Yuxin feel a little flattered.
However, seeing the handsome, sunny and confident Chen Cheng was back, as his girlfriend, I felt happy for him from the bottom of my heart.
She was afraid that Chen Cheng would put pressure on Andrew's identity and cause some trouble to him, because she could feel that Chen Cheng was actually a little sensitive.
But now it seems that this guy Andrew's acting skills seem to be pretty good.
The single audience and single fans around applauded and whistled to cheer them up. They were also happy to share this exclusive "dog food" that they could only get after buying tickets.
"Boy, go home and do it again. Go back to your locker room. We are still 15 points behind the Trail Blazers. It's not time to celebrate yet."
Fans around shouted at Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng looked up at the shouting fans.
"Don't be so nervous, it's just 5 three-pointers! Well, maybe 5 aren't needed yet."
When the other party heard this, he burst into laughter.
"I just like guys like you. I'll keep a good deal of them in the second half. I'll keep staring at you here."
Chen Cheng waved at him, said goodbye to Yang Yuxin, and ran back to the locker room.
The atmosphere in the locker room was a bit solemn, and the team members sat in their own positions one by one, and Kobe, dressed in suits and tie, also sat in front of his locker.
Chen Cheng just walked into the locker room, and Lambis followed him in.
"Chen Cheng, I think it's necessary for you to apologize to the whole team for this behavior today."
Everyone looked up at Chen Cheng at this moment.
He turned his eyes to Kobe, who nodded at him.
This kind of behavior of being late without saying hello in advance is a taboo in the NBA, indicating that the players are challenging the authority of the team and coaching staff.
What's more, Chen Cheng is not a big star, he is just a rookie.
Thanks to Kobe's timely explanation of the general process to Zen master, he was able to get a chance to play directly after he arrived.
Otherwise, even if the Lakers lose in this game, Chen Cheng will not get even one minute of playing time, and will face a huge fine in the team next time. The team will be hiding the next game or even the next game.
Because he was a first offender and did not intend to cause trouble, the coaching staff decided to let him apologize in public.
This is the lightest punishment.
"Today, due to some personal affairs, I was unable to participate in the game in time. I felt guilty for my behavior that hurt the team. I will not do this again in the future. I hope everyone will forgive me. I will definitely help the team and win the game in the second half."
After saying that, no one in the audience said anything.
Rush jumped out again.
"Your wave shot is really hurting the team's behavior, okay?"
When Kobe heard this, he directly glared at him with a death move. Rush waved his hand and sat back.
"Okay, you all look at him. I want to see how he can help the team win this game with his shooting percentage of 3 of 10 shots!"
"I think it's OK. Chen Cheng's attitude is very sincere. However, as usual, the team will still impose corresponding fines on you. Today's matter ends here. What do you think?" The Zen master sitting in front of the whiteboard stood up and said.
As soon as the Zen master said this, Chen Cheng immediately heard the unspoken voice.
Because he was late this time, not only did he not get dnp, but he also got a chance to play directly. Someone in the team gave his opinions secretly.
Moreover, this person is not Rush. Although he has always been disgusted with Chen Cheng, he is a straightforward person and has no brains. He is always positive and open-minded whenever there is any problem.
There is another person who is gossiping behind his back, and this kind of talent is the most hateful.
Originally, all kinds of rumors of disagreement within the team have become rampant this season. The relationship between Ok is in a state of trouble, coupled with Kobe's own reasons.
This directly led to the team's internal severance, and it was held back until the finals, and a big thunder broke out in the locker room, causing the Lakers to lose the championship.
There are too many conflicts in the team now, and this guy must be found out.
Otherwise, if you repeat the previous tragedy in the playoffs and fail to help the boss realize his dream, wouldn’t you come here in vain?
It is not easy to catch this guy, but he already has a few candidates in his mind.
This matter has to be discussed in the long run.
The next priority is to play the game well first, and the team is still in a stage of lagging behind.
My "new weapon" has just been equipped and I need it to show off my power in the second half.
