Chapter 63 Arenas' Provocation

On November 11, the Charlotte Bobcats' away game against the Washington Wizards and the Utah Jazz's away game against the Atlanta Hawks were the focus of the regular season.

The reason why these two games are the focus is because of the old man who is now standing on the coaching bench of the visiting team at the MCI Center in Washington.

After Utah's legendary coach resigned from the Utah Jazz, he almost seamlessly connected with the Charlotte Bobcats.This is the first time in 22 years that Jerry Sloan has sat on the coaching bench of another team.

The game between the Jazz and the Hawks was the first time in 22 years that Utah did not have Sloan on the bench.Sloan has also missed the team's games before when his wife was seriously ill, but those were only temporary, and this time the coach will never return to that position.

For this game in Washington, the commentators sent by T/NT were Reggie Miller and Kevin Harlan.

It was originally explained that the focus of this battle should be Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley, but it is well known that Barkley looks down on Chen Mo.And wouldn't it be more interesting for a legendary NBA shooter to explain the game of the craziest shooter in active service?
The capital team has always been a strong team in the East, but after they became weak in the 90s, they did not gradually recover until they ushered in the general Arenas in 2004.However, due to Arenas' injury, their record fluctuated again.

The general who came back last season was in good form and seemed to have the momentum to return to the top.However, he drew his gun in the locker room because he was unwilling to pay off his teammate Christian's gambling debt.There was an uproar when the gun was drawn, which was regarded by David Stern as the biggest scandal after the brawl at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

After investigation, Arenas stored 4 pistols in the locker room, but he himself did not have a gun license.He was subsequently suspended by the league for 50 games and will face charges of unlicensed possession of a firearm.

The patience of the Wizards' uniform group to Arenas has been exhausted. Maybe he will be traded soon, but he will still start today.

Arenas is another former All-Star guard that Chen Mo will face, but only God knows how much of his skill is left now.

Most of the media thought this was a special match, but in Chen Mo's view, this match was nothing more than normal.

Sloan still used the defensive system left by Larry Brown before. Jackson and Wallace's double ghost-knocking killing tactics are a huge test for almost all strikers in the league.

In terms of offense, Chen Mo's core position was completely determined.Today they only have one day to practice tactics, but they have already added some changes to the pick-and-roll based on Chen Mo.

For example, in the Bobcats attack after the start of the game, after Chen Mo and Dior completed the pick-and-roll, the latter ran to the low post. Chen Mo rushed forward and immediately attracted the defense of the Wizards forward line. He turned his head to look at Dior in the corner, but Throw the ball between Al Thornton and Arenas.

Chen Mo's legend directly penetrated the Wizards' defense. Gerald Wallace, who had been looking for opportunities on the weak side just now, was activated almost as soon as Chen Mo passed the ball. He easily dunked after receiving the ball at the basket.

After the pick-and-roll, the guard's free throw line attracted the defense, and the forward ran back and cut to the basket, a very Sloan offense.

"In just one day, Sloan left his mark in Charlotte," Reggie Miller said.

"Jack is the kind of guard that Sloan likes, or he is a guard like John (Stockton)." Kevin Harlan said: "Reggie, many people now compare Jack to you , what do you think?"

"While he shoots the ball as well as I do, he's not my type of player. Also we play in different positions."

"He shoots as good as you? Reggie, you're not afraid to talk big? Let's look at Jack's true shooting percentage. Whoa, 96.4%. And look at Indiana's great pitcher, Reggie Miller ’s true hit rate… 61.4%. I’m not good at math!”

Reggie Miller gave Kevin Harlan a big roll of his eyes, "I'm an old guy, my time has long passed, and now it's their young man's time. But I can actually see Jerry sitting On other teams' dugouts, it's as incredible as Jack's shot."

"Hey, the real protagonist today is not Jerry Sloan, but Jack Chen. Pick and roll, switch defense, Gilbert (Arenas) wants to single Jack! These two are second-round miracles, only But one is just starting to gain momentum, and the other is about to kill himself. Gilbert seems to want to tell everyone that his time has not passed!" Kevin Harlan has already roared.

Kevin Harlan is the queen commentator of the 2K series, and his style is like this.The passionate tone and super fast speech rate can directly stimulate the adrenaline of the audience.

At this time, the Wizards had already stretched the air, and Arenas's dribbling rhythm suddenly accelerated, obviously trying to pass Chen Mo with speed.

Chen Mo judged his direction, but he was too late to stretch his legs to get stuck. Arenas swung him with one step, and made a jumper with a sudden stop.

"Boy, you are still far behind." Arenas held his head up and said arrogantly.

Chen Mo clenched his fists and did not respond to Arenas, but recalled Arenas' actions just now in his mind.

"I'm in a hurry, I didn't post it in the first time to make his movements go away." Chen Mo summed up secretly in his heart.

"Jack, should we change?" Jackson ran over and said.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "No, I can deal with such an old guy."

For the next attack, Chen Mo didn't ask his teammates for a pick-and-roll, because there was no need for it, and Arenas stood inside the three-point line to defend him.This was the first time Chen Mo met someone who dared to defend him like this.

However, Chen Mo didn't shoot from outside the three-point line. He stepped in front of Arenas, and then jumped up and shot without doing anything else.

Arenas stretched out his hand, and then watched Chen Mo's shot easily hit.

"No three points, just to humiliate you. This kid is really interesting." Kevin Harland said.

"This is the style of our era, and it will never suffer!" Reggie Miller said: "I like this kid more and more."

Sloan sat on the coach's bench on the sidelines and didn't say anything.If it was the former Larry Brown, he would have jumped and screamed for Chen Mo's shot selection just now.

Wizards coach Philip Saunders yelled from the sidelines: "Gilbert, can you guard him with your eyes? Pounce on me, pounce on me!"

Arenas frowned in annoyance, why didn't he know that Chen Mo was deliberately humiliating him?Just stepping on the three-point line to guard against Chen Mo was a kind of contempt.Unexpectedly, he was humiliated by that rookie instead!

Arenas decided to teach him a lesson, and Chen Mo was fully prepared this time.The attack just now was just to collect some interest. To get back the game, he must kill this old hooligan on the defensive end!
