Chapter 113 Defending His Shot

"Hey! Charles, what did you say Jack said to Chris, which made Chris stand still for about a second." Kenny Smith said.

Barkley shook his big head and said: "Although I hate the way Jack plays, I have to say that I like his trash talk. I have seen his mouth make meritorious deeds on the court. I miss him. Must have studied Sir Charles Barkley's pitch quotes."

"Charles, the thickness of your skin has once again refreshed my understanding of skin." Kenny Smith said: "It turns out that a person's skin can really reach the thickness of a steel plate."

Chen Mo stood on the free throw line and made a free throw.

He has made 15 free throws today, and the number of such free throws is really amazing.

Sloan was very happy on the coaching bench. The effect of Chen Mo's use of Pengci style of play was beyond his expectation.

"If Jack went to Hollywood to develop, would it be better than in the NBA?" Sloan thought nonsensically.

Paul looked at Chen Mo angrily, "Jack, you cunning fellow."

Chen Mo shrugged and said: "Chris, trash talking is also part of the court!"

"Damn it!" Paul cursed.

Chen Mo joked, "Chris, you look so cute when you're angry!"

Paul seemed to be really angry, he closed his mouth, and after a large swing left and right, he used his speed to start directly.

Chen Mo went up to block Paul's position, and poked Paul's waist with the fingers of his right hand. Paul felt the pain and slowed down a little, but then he gave Chen Mo an elbow in physical contact with Chen Mo.

The confrontation between the two of them was so fast that the referee didn't even see it.Only the physical pain of the two of them indicated what had just happened.

Immediately after, Chen Mo's thigh blocked Paul's forward steps, and then followed Chen Mo's defensive direction, turned around Chen Mo very quickly, then stopped suddenly, kicked his right foot back lightly, and his body carried Lean back a little, and shoot the ball.

Paul's movements were too dexterous, and Chen Mo's foot frequency was still not as fast as Paul's.He seized this little space and made a shot.

The basketball hit the back edge of the rim and bounced into the rim.

"Chris started his personal offensive mode." Barkley said: "Jack's defense of the ball is actually pretty good. His few moves prevented Chris's breakthrough, but he still caught the gap. Turn around and shoot two points."

Indeed, as Barkley said, Paul started his personal offensive mode.Facing Chen Mo, he didn't want to lose this match.

This game was boasted by the media as "the battle for the strongest point guard". For Paul, this game is really a bit of a thing.

Chen Mo naturally wants to win this game, because his opponent is Chris Paul, one of the hottest point guards in the league.

Because Chen Mo made consecutive fouls and got to the free throw line, the Hornets didn't dare to fight against Chen Mo's body without thinking. Chen Mo played a lot more easily.

For the rest of the second quarter, Chen Mo played in the second position.He scored 14 points in the second quarter of the game, but after Paul turned on the personal offensive mode, he scored a total of 13 points in the second quarter, and the two were evenly divided in terms of personal data.

At the end of the half, the two teams battled to 55 to 52, and the points that the Bobcats had led before were pulled back by Paul.

During the intermission, Monty Williams adjusted his defensive strategy against Chen Mo in the locker room.

"We need to continue to double-team him, try to block his passing line, and don't force it if it can't be blocked. Remember, you must not let him take an easy shot." Monty Williams said: "This guy's shooting is through and through. Let the other players in Charlotte shoot, Emeka (Okafor), you have to pay attention to protecting the basket, don't let them have the opportunity to attack the basket easily."

On the other hand, Sloan also changed the team's tactics.

"Next we have to play defensive intensity, Jack attracts the defense in the low post, and then passes the ball out. Don't force yourself to attack." Sloan said.

Then, Sloan arranged the team's defense in more detail.

After the start of the second half of the game, the playing styles of the two teams really changed a lot.The Hornet reduced the physical impact on Chen Mo, and stuck to him to defend, not giving him a chance to make a move.

Have to say, Monty - Williams this way is right.

Before, many teams saw that Chen Mo's pass was very threatening, and they began to be afraid of his pass, always wanting to completely restrain Chen Mo.Because they did not regard Chen Mo as a star player at all, nor did they pay enough attention to Chen Mo.So, in the end, they lost very badly.

Monty Williams gave Chen Mo enough attention, so he made a personal attack to defend Chen Mo, and let Chen Mo pass the ball.

The Hornets tried to seize Chen Mo's weakness in confrontation to find his confrontation, making him lost in the physical confrontation.This did work for a while, but as Chen Mo began to show his talent as an actor, the Hornet's trick failed.

Monty Williams also had to sigh, Chen Mo's comprehension ability and execution ability are extremely strong.Chen Mo has never seen Chen Mo score in a game by touching porcelain before. Before that, he averaged only 2.4 free throws per game, which shows that his free throws are rare.

But it took Chen Mo just a few minutes to learn how to play Pingci.Look at the booing at the New Orleans Arena, what exactly does that guy have to do to attract such hatred from the fans in the audience.

"I can't wait to use his pretty face to measure my shoe size!"

"This guy should go to Hollywood to act, not to play in the NBA!"

"Did the damn referee be bought by him?"

The scolding and booing at the New Orleans Arena showed Chen Mo's superb acting skills.Therefore, Monty Williams prevented the players from continuing to confront Chen Mo.

Besides this trick, he really couldn't think of any other way to restrain Chen Mo.Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing, defending against Chen Mo's shooting, and giving him a certain amount of space to pass the ball.

"Monty is no longer ready to completely restrict Jack Chen." Kenny Smith said with a serious face, "He has given Jack enough attention. It can be said that Monty has treated Jack as a superstar."

Barkley also shook his head, and said: "Teaming, passing, and defending shots. Monty is very smart. Chris is in a hot state today, and Charlotte's troubles are coming. I said a long time ago that we should be so defensive." .”

Kenny Smith rolled his eyes at Barkley, "Sir Charles, when did you say you were going to be so defensive? Also, why don't we make a bet! $300, bet on the result of tonight's game, I bet on Charlotte win."

Buckley thought for a while, then shook his head, "Kenny, if you run out of money, you can borrow it from me, but you can't use this method."
