Another Christmas Day game, that is, the game between the Pistons and the Spurs, is also a wonderful matchup with the intensity of the finals.

Both teams played their best without any reservations.

Especially the Pistons, the new bad boys performed particularly well in this game.

Even someone as strong as Tim Duncan would still have a headache when facing such an opponent, and the whole audience would be very irritated by being defended.

Not to mention everyone else on the Spurs team, everyone seemed to be back on the court in last season's finals.

The difference is that this time, the Pistons treat this Christmas game as if it were the finals. Although they also attach great importance to this game, their desire to survive will definitely not be as strong as the Pistons.

With similar strength and equal status, one side is desperate and the other side has concerns. The result of the game speaks for itself.

In the end, five members of the Pistons scored in double figures, defeating the Spurs 85:70, avenging last season's finals.

Also stole the show.

The particularly eye-catching Christmas war ended like this.

There was no time to reflect on the joy of victory. At noon the next day, the entire Lakers team flew to Washington to play back-to-back away games against the Wizards.

That night, it could be said that it was the first time in all the games that Chen Hao had participated in since joining the Lakers that he felt so powerless.

He fought too hard against the Heat in the last game. He played the whole game and was almost physically exhausted. He didn't have much rest time in between, and he also suffered from the fatigue of traveling and traveling, which made Chen Hao's condition in this game very average.

His poor physical condition has reduced his defensive pressure a lot.

Faced with Arenas, who is physically superior to him, he is already at a physical disadvantage. He can only exert 60 to 70% of his current strength, but the opponent is waiting for work, and the result is very obvious.......

Under the continuous targeted defense of Arenas and a dark, hard, fast and strong guy, Chen Hao scored 1 of 5 offensively, plus two free throws, and only scored 5 points in total, as well as 6 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 rebounds. The data of steals and 5 fouls is very different from before.

Not only him, but the rest of the Lakers are also in subpar condition.

Odom was in a state of confusion throughout the game, Chris Mihm was suppressed throughout the game, and Kobe became a blacksmith. Although he scored the highest score in the game with 31 points, he took 30 shots for it..

On the Wizards' side, Arenas performed well in this game, but knowing that Chen Hao was not at his best, he was a little uninterested in the game.

After the game, he came up directly

"Hao, you really don’t interest me too much today, but no matter what, I won this game. Now our big score is a 1:1 draw. Next time we play, I hope to win. When I see you in your prime, I want to defeat you like that!"Arenas looked serious.

He shook his head and Chen Hao smiled faintly:"No, no, no, counting the preseason, I still lead 2:1 now. It is impossible for us to face each other in the regular season, unless you can Enter the finals, otherwise I will win this season"

"you......."

He wanted to refute, but Arenas didn't know how to speak for a moment.

Without giving him a chance, Chen Hao turned directly towards the aisle and left the arena that ended their winning streak.

Yes, the Lakers fought until the last minute of this game, but still lost the game 91:94 due to back-to-back poor conditions. Their winning streak ended at 13 games, and their number of losses reached 4.

But failure is not the end, but a new beginning.

Without the pressure of a winning streak and having time to rest, the Lakers will start a new journey.

In the West, they still firmly occupy the first position, but although their 244 record is still first in the league, it is no longer exclusive to the Lakers, but tied with the Pistons with the same record.

It’s really annoying!

Of course, there is good news too~

After the game against the Wizards, everyone was finally able to return to Los Angeles.

After the team bus took everyone to the entrance of the arena, they dispersed on the spot and everyone went back to their homes.

It was already early in the morning, and there was nowhere to play. Everyone was very tired and urgently needed to rest on their own soft beds.

So everyone on the team moved very quickly ~ except Chen Hao and Kobe.

Standing at the door, the two of them looked at each other, and both saw the meaning in each other's eyes, and walked directly into the arena, preparing to practice for a while.

This is their repertoire after losing.

In the stadium, Chen Hao was practicing mid-range shots. When no one was guarding him, his hit rate was still good, close to 80%. But when someone was defending, his hit rate would plummet, and his anti-interference ability was obviously insufficient.

This made Kobe, who had been paying attention to the situation on his side, frown and walked over directly....

"Hao, I think you can practice breaking it"

"breakthrough?"Chen Hao looked at Kobe in confusion.

"Well~"

Kobe nodded and explained:"Your open three-point accuracy is very good, but it is only open, which greatly limits your performance on the offensive end. Your interference ability requires long-term practice. It may be a quick fix, but a breakthrough is possible."

After a pause, Kobe continued:"Your ball control ability is very good. If you can learn some breakthrough skills that are more suitable for you, I think your threat on the court will become even greater......."

"Any suggestions?"Chen Hao asked.

After the game against the Heat, he was actually thinking about his current shortcomings. Kobe had always been blocking the gun in front of him, so he only needed to control the team's rhythm and do a good job on the defensive end. Just do your job.

An open three-pointer is just the icing on the cake.

But if you want to help the team achieve a more dazzling record this season, his current combat power is definitely not enough. He is too easy to target. With the team With the current configuration, if you want to go further, you must take on more responsibilities.

At least your scoring ability needs to be further improved, and you cannot just rely on one-handed open three-pointers.

At present, other teams do not particularly understand his game characteristics, but as As the regular season continues, other teams begin to study him, and after understanding his details, they will definitely make some targeted defensive measures.

Just like when they played against the Wizards last time, the opponent specially sent a player who can run and play. Jump, the guy with a very good body followed him throughout the half, and he and Arenas wore down Chen Hao's physical fitness in a wheel-and-wheel battle, and did not give him a good chance to take action, which directly caused his scoring threat to decrease. A lot.

This time against the Heat, Chen Hao really shined, which directly led to his opponents in the following games will definitely defend him like the Wizards did.

So as Kobe said As said, it is time to increase the arsenal of weapons.

In terms of breakthroughs, you can no longer just rely on the ability to control the ball as in the past. You should also have some technical skills that are suitable for your current status.

Hearing Chen Hao's inquiry After Kobe pondered for a few seconds, he said:"I think the breakthrough method of the Argentinian guard in the Spurs is very suitable for your current physical condition and is worth learning.~"

"You mean European step?"Chen Hao suddenly said

"Well, do you want to learn?"

"You can?"

"I can~"

"Forehead~~~"

Looking at Kobe's arrogant look, Chen Hao didn't know why, but suddenly he didn't want to learn it. Although he knew that this skill would help him a lot, he just didn't want to see Kobe's proud expression.

However, he was not polite when he thought that if he did not have a more practical breakthrough ability in the following games, he might be severely restricted by his opponents.

He nodded directly:"Teach me~"

"Okay~"

In the following time, Kobe used some essentials of the European step on Chen Hao.

European step: While running with the ball at high speed, the body moves in the forward direction of the foot on the same side, and the other foot moves in the direction of the previous step.

The foot that landed is in the opposite direction, and it is a big step change, and then the body also moves in the direction of the other foot.

It is equivalent to changing direction at high speed, but when the other foot lands, the upper body must complete the Change direction, use the landing foot as the supporting foot, exert force, take off, and layup to avoid walking.

The movements are beautiful and practical.

I already have top-notch ball control skills, and my body coordination is very good , Chen Hao quickly learned the basic movements and application techniques of this skill, but if he wants to use it in actual combat and pose a threat, it still takes a long time to practice.

"Don’t worry, it’s a good progress to be able to form combat effectiveness within a month." Kobe patted Chen Hao on the shoulder.

"a month......"

Chen Hao couldn't help but ask:"How long did it take you to learn and apply this skill in actual combat?"

"Less than half an hour~" Kobe looked calm.

The corner of his mouth twitched. For some reason, Chen Hao wanted to hit Kobe in the face, but his reason told him that if he really wanted to PK, he might not be able to win. After taking a deep breath, he was a little confused:"When I watched you demonstrate just now, you used the European step very skillfully. Why do I rarely see you using it in competitions?"

"Only the skills that suit you can be the greatest threat. I have my own way of breakthrough, and this kind of pace is not particularly suitable for me."Kobe's words were concise and to the point.

But Chen Hao heard what he meant. It was very simple. I have something more powerful. Why would I use this thing? I suddenly felt uncomfortable.

At that moment, I opened the system mall and found European step.

Well, B-level skills can be purchased for only two million. After two games of accumulation, plus the remaining amount before, it is just enough now. Without hesitation, Chen Hao bought it directly. , and suddenly I felt that I had a lot more European walking experience in my mind.

It was not forcefully instilled, it was just like my own skills since elementary school, like using my arms and fingers.

This process only lasted three seconds and was over.

"Sure enough, krypton gold is more suitable for me~"

With a sigh in his heart, Chen Hao looked at Kobe in front of him:"How many balls can you play?"

"Okay~"

Regarding the challenge, Kobe said that he was never vain, and he was very confident that Chen Hao would attack first.

"Anyway, it will be my turn soon~" Kobe thought to himself. After getting along with each other for such a long time, they both knew each other well. Kobe was confident that he could guard Chen Hao on the spot.

Looking at Kobe, the best in the world, That dick expression, how could Chen Hao not know what this guy is thinking?

"Let’s catch him by surprise first~" He muttered to himself, Chen Hao controlled the ball outside the three-point line, and the basketball was moving very fast. Facing Kobe’s defense, his feet suddenly exerted force, and he jumped directly into the three-point line. Inside, he controls the ball with his right hand and blocks with his left hand, not giving Kobe a chance to steal.

"A good start, and his ball control ability is particularly good~"

Although this is not the first time they have met, every time they meet, Chen Hao's ball control ability will surprise Kobe.

If he hadn't seen it in person, I'm afraid he would have regarded Chen Hao as... Isiah Thomas himself.

The way the two handle the ball is so similar to their habits.

The reality did not give Kobe a chance to think about this. While dribbling at high speed, Chen Hao took a step forward with his right foot and leaned to the right at the same time. This caused Kobe to subconsciously prepare to get close to him and impose physical confrontation.

At the moment Kobe took action, Chen Hao quickly stepped out with his left foot to the left. His body followed suit in time, and he changed direction significantly and wiped out Kobe's defense. , step, take off, and score an easy layup.

The movements are done in one go, an extraordinary number!

""Shua~"

The sound of entering the net was particularly pleasant at this moment.

Turning around, looking at Kobe who was a little stunned, Chen Hao smiled and said:"It's 1:0."

"Have you learned it?"Kobe looked at Chen Hao in surprise.

The look was as if he was meeting Chen Hao for the first time.

Didn't he just have a preliminary grasp just now and couldn't apply it in actual combat? How come he can use it in such a large amount now?

This level can be used in actual combat.

Kobe Bryant expressed his confusion.

"Well, I learned it. Is it difficult?"Chen Hao was very calm.

He muttered silently in his heart:"You can't understand the happiness of krypton gold~"_To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Fei
