genius point guard

Chapter 67

The Toronto Raptors are the only NBA team in Canada, and more than one-tenth of Toronto's population of 300 million is Chinese.It was past one o'clock in the morning when the Bobcats arrived at the hotel where they were staying.Jackson yelled at Chen Mo to invite him to have supper.

Chen Mo felt a little sorry for draining all the cash from Jackson.

There are many Chinese-owned restaurants on the streets of Toronto, and some of these restaurants are open all night.Chen Mo, who lived in Oakland when he was a child, was no stranger to this kind of situation. They gamblers randomly found a restaurant that was still open and went in.

Although it was just a small restaurant by the side of the road, Chen Mo was amazed by the taste.This restaurant seems to cook some Cantonese food, and the taste is even better than what Chen Mo ate in Auckland's Chinatown.

What Chen Mo didn't expect was that the owner of the restaurant turned out to be his fan and asked for his autograph and group photo.

Chen Mo only found out when he was chatting with the boss while eating. In the 90s, due to various reasons such as the financial crisis, many Hong Kong people immigrated to Canada, and a group of chefs also went to Canada.Therefore, the Cantonese cuisine here is very authentic.

The owner of this restaurant is from Hong Kong. Unfortunately, he cannot speak Mandarin. He and Chen Mo can only communicate in English.

When he finally left, the boss insisted on not accepting the money, saying that Chen Mo's signature and group photo were worth more than the meal.

It was embarrassing not to give money to Chen Mo, and finally Chen Mo asked for two tickets from Gerald Wallace to give to the boss.

The tickets were bought by Wallace, and he has the habit of buying two tickets for every away game.When the team bus arrives, he will give tickets to fans outside the arena who have not bought tickets or cannot afford them.

Wallace has a very pretentious and great explanation, "Whether they are my fans or not, these two tickets can make them happy for a whole day, or a longer time. Being able to send happiness to others is itself Just be happy."

Chen Mo didn't feel it before, but this time when he saw the wrinkles on the face of the restaurant owner, he could really feel his happiness.

"Chen, I will go to the game with my kids tomorrow, thank you!"

……

Originally, Chen Mo thought this was just an ordinary away game. Facing a team that had just sent away its star player this summer, the Toronto Raptors had already slipped from a playoff team to the top of the league. Team.Such a team should not have a high attendance rate.

However, when the team bus drove to the gate of the Air Canada Center, Chen Mo was shocked.

Many fans came to welcome the visiting team's bus. When Chen Mo took a closer look, they were all yellow-skinned Chinese.

"Are we playing away?" Jackson swallowed.

"Damn it, I swear by God, this is definitely Toronto."

"God bless, these people are really not zombies?"

Chen Mo himself did not expect that he would have so many fans in Toronto.

Chen Mo grew up in the United States, but still retains Chinese nationality. In the eyes of these Chinese people who have left their hometown, he is much more affectionate than Yao Ming or Yi Jianlian.None of them are of Chinese nationality, but their nostalgia for their hometown has gradually accumulated over time.

Chen Mo retained his Chinese nationality, and this move won him the favor of more Chinese Canadians.

There are also foreign students who come here. Chen Mo has grown from the mascot of the team to the core of the team. What a perfect story of his rise.The poor boy counterattacks and becomes the perfect story template for the rich and handsome, an inspirational Chinese dream.

Chen Mo has many fans in China because of his skin color, nationality and handsome appearance, but in the American continent, he gives the Chinese here more reasons to like him.

From entering the arena, to warming up, to the start of the game.The cheers from the fans gave Chen Mo the illusion that he was in the Time Warner Center several times.

Before the game started, Chen Mo wanted to find the owner of the restaurant yesterday.However, looking around, there are Chinese people with black hair and yellow skin.Chen Mo didn't see them.

But the boss saw Chen Mo. He and his 16-year-old child were shouting Chen Mo's name along with the fans next to him.

Most of the fans shouted "Chen Mo" in Chinese. In the United States, few people called him that. After his father left in the past year, no one called him that anymore.

Chen Mo took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.

"I didn't expect him to be so popular in Toronto."

"After all, there are so many Chinese here! More than one-tenth of them are Chinese, which is really scary. Walking on the road, you can see a few Chinese at a glance."

The commentator is teasing this as a pre-match anecdote, and the time for the start of the game is getting closer and closer.

Chen Mo is facing off against an old point guard—Jarrett Jack.

If you just look at his name, you may not have any impression of him, but he is the third player in the league in terms of total assists among active players.The first two are the well-known Steve Nash and Jason Kidd, which are the two point guard masters who are dubbed by Chinese fans as Nabufang and Jibugong.

Jack is a very traditional point guard, with a solid body, simple skills, good defensive and confrontation capabilities, and good shot selection, plus the vision and passing ability that a point guard must have.

This is a point guard with nothing outstanding and almost no weaknesses. If you want to say his biggest flaw, I'm afraid it is his assist-to-turnover ratio. He has 1 turnovers per assist, which is a bit too high. .

Chen Mo had already understood these characteristics of Jack before the match.If he is not in position, Chen Mo will not have much pressure on the defensive end.

But on the offensive end, defensive players like Jack are what Chen Mo hates the most.

With his strong body and rich defensive experience, it will be very difficult for Chen Mo to play singles.

The first offense after the start of the game was initiated by the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Splash No. [-] pick overwhelmed the Italian No. [-] pick in the jump ball. Jackson controlled the ball and handed it to Chen Mo.

For the first attack, Chen Mo went directly to Jackson for a pick-and-roll. After the Toronto native switched defenses, Chen Mo rejected Dior's second pick-and-roll in the horn area.

You must know that Jackson has opened up space on the flanks. This time, after Chen Mo and Dior picked and rolled, Chen Mo was able to break into the inside line.Afterwards, no matter whether the ball is given to Dior or Jackson, chances are easy to appear.

Chen Mo knew this very well, but he still waved away Dior's pick-and-roll.Because, he wants to single out with this person in front of him.

Last year's ninth-place rookie in the first round-DeMar DeRozan!
Chen Mo will never forget the humiliation this person brought to him in the rookie training camp...
