genius point guard

Chapter 9, No. 23 Appears

In the second half of the game, Chen Mo thought his chance had come, but compared with the first half, the Bobcats were almost a different team. Stephen Jackson's pull-up three-pointer started to hit the iron, and Gerald Wallace's touch was also lost. I forgot to take it out in the locker room.In the third quarter, the Pacers beat the Bobcats by 11 points in a single quarter.The two teams entered the fourth quarter with a 7-point gap.

Larry Brown sprayed wildly at the players on the bench. The Bobcats managed to stabilize the situation in the fourth quarter, but Larry Brown still didn't consider playing Chen Mo.

Larry Brown was ready for Chen Mo to play in the second half during the halftime break. After all, according to the team's defense of locking up Granger today, the team has a chance to send the game into garbage time in the third quarter .But in the third quarter, the opponent's rookie Paul George suddenly went crazy, made consecutive breakthroughs and caused fouls and scored 5 points, and then took all the rhythm of the Bobcats away.Larry Brown could only delay Chen Mo's appearance again.

In terms of employment, there is a big difference between Larry Brown and Phil Jackson.If it was Jackson, when he decided to use someone, he would definitely trust him [-]%, even if he had prejudice against this player before.

But Larry Brown was very concerned. He was worried that Chen Mo would perform abnormally in the regular season, and he was also worried that Chen Mo would disrupt the already stable defensive system of the Bobcats.Perhaps the more important thing is Larry Brown's prejudice against Chen Mo. Sometimes once the prejudice is formed, it is difficult to change, even if his view of Chen Mo has changed at this time.

Because of Larry Brown's concerns and the renewed suspense of the game, Chen Mo was kept on the bench by Larry Brown.

"Puppy, are you ready to learn how to bark like a dog?" Thomas winked at Chen Mo on the bench with a mocking expression on his face.After Chen Mo showed his passing ability in training, Thomas thought he would lose.Now, he is only one step away from winning the bet.How can Thomas not be excited about the reversal of the situation when he thinks he will lose?

Chen Mo frowned, obviously in a very unhappy mood, he responded with a cold snort: "The game is not over yet!"

"Do you think the coach will send you on the court when it matters most?" Thomas said teasingly.

Chen Mo ignored Thomas' words, and glanced at the timer and scoreboard.

It's the most critical moment...

最后1分钟，山猫依然保持着2分的领先优势。斯蒂芬-杰克逊在罚球线上两罚一中，山猫队86比83领先对手3分。

In 44 seconds, Granger forcibly made a shot.

In 31 seconds, Wallace's mid-range shot was blocked, and the Pacers quickly pushed back.On the fast break, Paul George scored a layup and drew a foul from Augustin.Sending Augustin six to graduate while tying the game at the free throw line.Larry Brown wanted to call a timeout, but now the Bobcats have run out of all timeouts, so now Brown can only sit on the sidelines and watch the team's performance.

Augustine left, Larry Brown replaced Livingston, and the game continued.

The most critical moment of this game has arrived, and Chen Mo suddenly feels what he should do at this most critical moment.

After all, the number on his back is great right now - No. 23!
At the most critical moment, No. 23 should stand up!Chen Mo felt that the number behind him was like a fire, burning his skin.

Chen Mo looked back at Michael Jordan on the sidelines, and Jordan responded with an encouraging look.

At this time, Jackson's jumper bounced out of the basket again, the Bobcats retreated quickly, and the Pacers had no chance to break fast.Therefore, the Pacers called their last short timeout of the game, and Coach O'Brien wanted to arrange the team's last offense.

"After the pick-and-roll, there is still plenty of time to look for opportunities to dislocate. Paul (George) you control the ball and look for opportunities to play singles. Whether you are against Livingston or someone else, use your body to eat him alone. "

On the other side of the Bobcats, Larry Brown made a detailed arrangement for the next defense.After the arrangement, he didn't choose to change.Chen Mo's heart was ashamed, it was impossible for him to almost play in the regular time of this game, the only thing he could pray for was overtime.Facing Thomas' playful smile, Chen Mo was 1 unconvinced.

"Damn old man!" Chen Mo cursed secretly in his heart.

The players were ready to play, Livingston stood up straight and took two steps, then frowned.

"Coach..." Livingston yelled, "I feel bad in my knee..."

Larry Brown's face pulled down instantly, but Chen Mo's heart began to be ecstatic.

Augustine left the field with six fouls, Livingston had a knee discomfort, who else could Larry Brown use?

"Jack!" Larry Brown yelled: "Do you know what I just did? You switch positions with Stephen (Jackson), you go low, understand?"

"Understood!" Chen Mo nodded excitedly, took off his training clothes and pulled off his pants.

Of course, Chen Mo's actions cannot escape the camera of the on-site director. If he keeps guarding the water dispenser, no one will notice him, but when he is about to appear on stage, the close-up shots will definitely take care of him.

"Livingston's back in the locker room, and it looks like he's having a physical problem. Larry (Brown) can only choose to use Jack Chen, and pray that he doesn't make a mistake and give the team's hard work all night to the Indiana."

Billy Sides, the live commentator at the Time Warner Center, said contemptuously.

Then he noticed that the number behind Chen Mo was not his 42, but a legendary number in the league.

"My God! Chen is wearing the No. 23 jersey. He thinks that he is not making a big enough joke? Doesn't he know that the owner of No. 23 is sitting on the sidelines right now?" Saides' words caused the fans to boo Chen Mo. .The camera also quickly showed Jordan, who not only did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, but also gave Chen Mo a thumbs up as an encouragement.

"Are you crazy? Could it be that Jack Chen's No. 23 jersey was inspired by Jordan? Could he really be Michael's illegitimate son?" Saides exaggeratedly exclaimed.

The reporters on the sidelines were also like cats smelling fish. Their cameras were all aimed at Michael Jordan and Chen Mo.

The originally unspectacular game became interesting in an instant. Some reporters have already begun to imagine that if Chen Mo made a mistake and the team lost the game, coupled with his No. 23 jersey and Jordan's encouraging gesture, it would definitely It will be big news that attracts the attention of fans!And Chen Mo will be used as a big joke by the commentators and fans again.

Chen Mo didn't care about other people's reactions, and now he was trembling slightly with excitement for returning to the arena again.Even if it's only 18 seconds, he still has to seize the opportunity to perform!
