Chapter 148 Returning to Los Angeles
In the game that just ended, Cleveland ushered in a three-game losing streak, and more importantly, James played mediocre.
8 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. As a rookie, this performance is already very good.
Besides, let alone rookies, even star players sometimes perform poorly.
It's just that, when compared with Chen Mo, it seems impossible to see it at all, so if you are not afraid of poor performance, you are afraid of comparison.
After the end of the back-to-back, two days later, the Heat continued their away challenge trip.
This time, the Heat are facing the Golden State Warriors, a Western Conference team.
Compared with the warriors who died in the later generations, today's warriors can be said to be real fish belly.
The latest outbreak of the Warriors will have to wait until the black eight miracle in 06, but unfortunately, these people are really not good now.
Of course, it's not that these players are bad. In fact, the Warriors' lineup is not bad.
Nick Van Exel, known as a lunatic, was once an All-Star at his peak.
Of course, today's lunatic is already old, and at the age of 33, he has begun to enter the twilight years of his career.
There is also Jason Richardson, who is now the real core player of the Golden State Warriors and one of the main players of the Black Eight Miracles.
Maybe you don't know it well, but he is also the NBA's two-time dunk champion, last year and the year before.
It's just that the quality of the slam dunk contest has declined since 2000's Carter's Arrival.
Perhaps it is the reason for the prosperity and decline, in fact, Richardson's dunk is not bad.
In addition to these two, there is another Dampier in the Warriors, who was later the second center in the Western Conference.
Regardless of his poor strength, it is indeed useful to have such a big and powerful center forward.
Among other things, when facing O'Neal, at least he can carry it, and he can carry Yao Ming in the future.
Just for this, the Dallas Mavericks even offered an annual salary of tens of millions and gave up Nash.
There is also power forward Clifford Robinson, a defensive champion, who has been selected to the best defensive team many times at the power forward position.
Finally, there was Mike Dunleavy, a rookie in the same class as Yao Ming, who was the No. [-] in the draft at the time.
In fact, at the beginning, Mike Dunleavy's No. [-] pick was quite loud.
Such a team, on paper, looks quite good.
It's a pity that the whole team couldn't be glued together.
Jason Richardson is not a suitable core player. He can play well, but he can't integrate his teammates.
There is also Nick Van Exel, although he is a point guard, but he is obviously an offensive point guard.
The tactics of the Golden State Warriors are basically singles, and they are singles fighting each other. Naturally, it is difficult to achieve results.
Facing the Golden State Warriors, the Heat naturally won easily. In fact, the Golden State Warriors didn't resist much.
In the whole game, Chen Mo scored 30 points, 18 rebounds and 6 assists in 10 minutes.
The first double-double of his career, I have to say, is quite memorable.
The main reason is that he saw that the chance of winning today is quite high, so he simply focused on organizing the offense.
The Golden State Warriors were really defenseless, allowing the Heat's players to get whatever they wanted, otherwise, Chen Mo wouldn't be able to get 10 assists.
In the last half of the game, Chen Mo really wanted to play and score 20+10, or a triple-double.
It's a pity that Stan Van Gundy has no eyesight at all, so he didn't take the initiative to replace Chen Mo.
Moreover, as a rookie, Chen Mo must maintain his usual low-key style, so he must not take the initiative to ask to play.
In this era, both coaches and players are still very particular, or have a bottom line.
What can be earned is not honor, but shame.
For example, a player with the surname of cloth in the original time and space, not only scored points, but also scored madly.
Obviously he was behind, but he kept actively fouling and sending his opponent to the free throw line.
Not for anything else, just to get back the ball. As for the loss, no one cares about how many points they lose.
There are quite a few people scoring points, but like this, it is really rare for the whole team to score points together, with coaches and players coming off the court to help score points.
Therefore, Chen Mo has no chance to earn points in this life.
After the game against the Golden State Warriors, the Heat rushed to Los Angeles immediately, and Chen Mo returned to Los Angeles for the first time.
In fact, it is not the first time Chen Mo has returned to Los Angeles, after all, he played against the Clippers in the preseason.
It's just that, for Los Angeles fans, the Clippers are not a Los Angeles team, not to mention, it was just a preseason game.
No, before Chen Mo arrived, the media in Los Angeles had already held a welcome ceremony.
"Welcome home our prince!"
The UCLA media, in particular, unceremoniously expressed their support for Chen Mo.
For them, UCLA is the home team, and the Lakers and Clippers all have to stand back.
The Heat's opponent is the Lakers!
The Lakers, who have just formed the Big Four, are definitely a towering existence for the Heat.
Therefore, the Heat are very sober and try their best to fight. As for winning or losing, it is not their special consideration.
Moreover, at the beginning of the new season, there will be five consecutive aways. Such a schedule is simply desperate.
In fact, when Stan Van Gundy and Pat Riley were discussing tactical arrangements, they were already prepared for a losing streak.
However, to everyone's surprise, they actually won and achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss.
Even if they lost the game against the Lakers, it would still be 3 wins and 2 losses, which is already a very good result.
It is difficult to play away games, let alone such consecutive away games, and it is the consecutive away games at the beginning of the season.
No, for the game the day after tomorrow, Chen Mo actually got a leave of absence.
That's right, back in Los Angeles, UCLA teammates, and those friends, of course we have to meet.
In fact, Chen Mo had only left Los Angeles not long ago, that is, a few months.
However, the meaning is different.
In the past, he was just a person, an ordinary person, but now, he is an NBA star.
Returning to UCLA, Chen Mo must not be silent, so he made an appointment with Coach Steve and others.
However, according to the personality of Americans, in such an atmosphere, there must be a party.
No, without Chen Mo's consent, Coach Steve and others have already prepared the party.
There is no way, although he doesn't like parties, but he does as the Romans do, Chen Mo finally agreed to them.
Not only that, he also took the initiative to bear the drinks and various expenses, which are all necessary.
After all, as an NBA star, he is already a rich man compared to other people.
"Coach Steve!"
"Chen, you are the protagonist today, come here quickly."
"Hi Chen, you are amazing."
"Chen, I said long ago that many managers in the NBA are blind, and you should be the No. [-] pick."
……
Cedric, Thompson, Hollins... Looking at the familiar teammates, Chen Mo was really happy.
At UCLA, without their support, it would be impossible for Chen Mo to achieve such results.
"How is the team doing this year? We just won the championship, don't let the second year collapse."
"Don't worry, Chen, just watch our performance."
