Chapter 147 Chen Hao stands up for A Lian! Never let grudges sit overnight! Revenge on the spot!

The Celtics' opponent in this game was the Utah Jazz, and they were playing away, so it attracted a lot of attention.

Al-Farouq Aminu had already arrived in Boston during the All-Star Weekend and has now settled in completely.

So, when Al-Farouq Aminu met up with the Celtics players at the airport, his face was full of anticipation.

The Celtics players are also very excited and thrilled about Yi Jianlian's arrival.

They all knew that A-Lian and Chen Hao were compatriots and both came from Long Country, so they respected A-Lian very much.

When Jefferson saw Alian, he said with a happy face:
"Hey, Alian, you know what?

When I learned that you joined our team, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep.

Because of your arrival, our team's inside strength has been greatly improved.

You will take a lot of pressure off me, right?"

In response to Jefferson's words, A-Lian replied with a smile:
“Hey, I’m just a rookie, but I’m going to do my best.

I'm looking forward to playing with everyone and I really like the atmosphere of our team.

I will do my best to show my strength!"

Yi Jianlian's answer made Jefferson very satisfied. He knew Yi Jianlian's characteristics and also knew that he had strong mid-range shooting ability, which was exactly what the Celtics needed.

Celtics head coach Rivers was very excited about the arrival of Yi Jianlian:
"Hey, A-Lian, your arrival has made our team even stronger!
I have already developed a tactic for you and Chen Hao. Your cooperation in pick-and-roll is perfect.

Today against the Jazz, let them see your pick-and-roll strength!"

As we all know, under the leadership of head coach Jerry Sloan, the Jazz are best at pick-and-roll tactics.

Especially the pick-and-roll cooperation between Deron and Boozer has reached the level of perfection.

The combination of the two of them has even reached the tacit understanding of the combination of Stockton and Malone back then.

Boozer's mid-range shot is also very accurate, and his physique is somewhat similar to Malone, so many Jazz fans think that Boozer is the modern Malone.

The Jazz are the best in the league with this classic pick-and-roll tactic. Almost no one can really limit this tactic, and the offensive abilities of other players are also strong, so the Jazz can be considered a strong team in the West.

Especially after the All-Star Weekend, the Jazz entered the sprint stage of their record, so they are full of confidence in the next games.

Before this, the Jazz and the Celtics played against each other once, but they lost the game.

Because Chen Hao's performance was so strong, he single-handedly defeated the pick-and-roll tactics that they were proud of.

But now they have been reborn, because Jerry Sloan has studied Chen Hao thoroughly and knows that Chen Hao likes to break through the inside, so he will resolutely double-team Chen Hao.

Therefore, their goal in this game is to regain their advantage and let the Celtics know their true strength.

This game was broadcast live all over the world, and because it was Yi Jianlian's first game after joining the Celtics, fans in the Dragon Country were paying close attention to it.

When the Celtics players appeared on the Jazz's away game, there was a huge booing at the scene.

For Alian, he had never experienced such a huge booing.

Because when he was on the Bucks, he was basically a nobody, and the head coach and teammates didn't pay much attention to him.

Even when he was introduced, Al-Suwaidi received very little applause.

But now the situation is different. He heard the volume of the boos has become much louder, which at least proves that he has attracted the attention of the fans!

Just as A-Lian was feeling deeply moved, Chen Hao walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"It looks like you've received a lot of attention!"

After hearing what Chen Hao said, A Lian smiled and nodded:

“Yeah, that gives me a lot of confidence for this game!”

Chen Hao nodded with satisfaction:
"Then let them see the strength of our pick-and-roll cooperation later!

We're going to beat them using their best tactics.

This should be fun!”

A Lian smiled and nodded.

Both sides have finished warming up and the game officially begins!
Because of the addition of Yi Jianlian, the Celtics' starting lineup has changed:
Chen Hao, Gerald Green, Tony Allen, Yi Jianlian, Al Jefferson!

The Jazz's starting lineup is:
Carlos Boozer, Deron Williams, Mehmet Okur, Ronnie Brewer, Andrei Kirilenko.

Chen Hao was very familiar with the Jazz's lineup because they had defeated the Rockets twice in the playoffs, stopping the Rockets in the first round.

In particular, their double-team defense on Yao Ming made him struggle in the playoffs.

Therefore, many Chinese fans hate the Jazz and think their tactics are very disgraceful.

But now looking at it from a different perspective, there is nothing wrong with the Jazz's tactics, and they can even say that they have done a good job of limiting Yao Ming's performance.

Kirilenko's assist defense on Yao Ming was particularly effective, and coupled with Okur's cold arrows from the outside, the Rockets' defense was caught off guard.

Therefore, the Jazz's lineup is actually quite reasonable, and their defense is what gives opponents the most headaches.

Especially now that we are at the Jazz's home court and in the plateau area, it is also a big test for the players' physical fitness.

But for Chen Hao, this is nothing. His main task today is to help Alian find confidence.

Finding confidence from the Jazz is undoubtedly the most effective.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially starts!

Jump ball between Al-Farouq Aminu and Okur!

Alian's jumping speed was faster, so he was the first to pass the ball to Chen Hao's hands.

After getting the ball, Chen Hao slowly dribbled across half court.

The one defending Chen Hao was Deron. His expression was very focused and serious. He knew that Chen Hao was very strong, so he didn't dare to relax at all.

In the All-Star Skills Challenge, Chen Hao easily defeated Deron and won the championship, which made Deron very depressed.

Therefore, he now wants to regain his position in this game and let Chen Hao know his true strength.

When Chen Hao was dribbling at the top of the arc, Al-Farouq Aminu quickly moved up and came in front of Chen Hao!

As soon as they saw Yi Jianlian's movement, the Jazz players knew that he was going to play a pick-and-roll with Chen Hao, so Boozer followed up in time and tried to stop their pick-and-roll!
However, Chen Hao reacted faster. With the help of Alian's screen, he dribbled quickly to the free throw line!

As for Al-Suwaidi, he turned around and appeared at a 45-degree angle on the left!

This is a long two point position!
Chen Hao passed the ball to Alian with a ground pass!
Because Jerry Sloan's tactic was to double-team Chen Hao, Yi Jianlian was already in a wide open position. After receiving the ball, Yi Jianlian made a slight adjustment and then took a mid-range shot!

Al-Farouq Aminu's shooting point was very high and his touch was very soft. This mid-range shot hit the target steadily!
After scoring, Al-Farouq Aminu looked very excited. This was his first score after joining the Celtics, which is very memorable!
His teammates cheered for him, and a satisfied smile appeared on Chen Hao's face.

The Dragon Country fans in front of the TV all cheered loudly at this moment. Al-Suwaidi's performance was better than they had imagined, which was something to be happy about.

When the Jazz players saw Al-Farouq Aminu easily complete the shot and score, their expressions became very depressed.

Especially Boozer, because he was going to double-team Chen Hao, he missed Abdul-Jabbar, which made him look very ugly.

Jerry Sloan, the head coach of the Jazz, was very dissatisfied with his defense and cursed at him loudly.

This is Jerry Sloan's character. As long as the players make any mistakes, he will scold them.

Therefore, the Jazz players are under tremendous psychological pressure.

After all, this head coach has a very bad temper.

What Boozer wants to do most now is to score points under Al-Farouq Aminu's defense and regain his confidence.

He glanced at Deron, who nodded in understanding.

Jazz attack!
Deron formed a pick-and-roll with Boozer at the top of the arc!

This time, Boozer also chose to receive the ball at Deron's left elbow!
However, since the Celtics' defense did not choose to double-team Deron, Yi Jianlian appeared in front of Boozer.

After receiving the ball, Boozer did not create an open opportunity, but this did not make him frustrated.

On the contrary, when he saw Lian appear in front of him, his expression became playful!
He signaled to his teammates to move away, he wanted to challenge Alian one-on-one!
In Boozer's opinion, Al-Farouq Aminu is too tall, so his center of gravity must be very high. He is very confident that he can easily shake Chen Hao off.

So, facing Chen Hao's defense, Boozer began to dribble the ball between his legs continuously and tried to pass Chen Hao by changing direction.

Little did people know that Yi Jianlian was very focused on defense, his eyes were fixed on the basketball in Boozer's hands.

When Boozer tried to change direction to pass Al-Farouq Aminu, Al-Farouq Aminu had already appeared in Boozer's offensive route and blocked his way!
Boozer didn't expect that Al-Farouq Aminu would see through his offensive intentions in such a short time, and he felt a little depressed.

So, Boozer chose to use a brutal offensive method to deal with Yi Jianlian!

He lowered his shoulder and hit A-Lian's chest directly. Caught off guard, A-Lian was knocked away directly, and screamed!

After hesitating for a moment, the referee chose to ignore Boozer's offensive foul, and Boozer easily completed a one-handed slam dunk!

After completing the dunk, Boozer was very excited. He even shouted loudly to Yi Jianlian who was lying on the ground:
“Hey, rookie, did you see that?

This is the real NBA confrontation. If you are so weak, you should go play in the WNBA!"

Boozer's ridicule made Yi Jianlian look very ugly. He shouted directly at the referee:
"Hey, referee, isn't this an offensive foul?"

The referee chose to ignore Alian's complaints and even shook his head at him.

After seeing Boozer being so arrogant, the other players of the Celtics also looked at Boozer angrily.

Chen Hao witnessed the whole process. He calmly pulled A Lian up from the ground and asked softly:
"Are you okay?"

A Lian rubbed his chest with a painful expression and said with an unhappy look:

“This old black man did it on purpose.

The moment he attacked, he lowered his shoulder and hit my chest.

This is simply an offensive foul!"

After listening to A Lian's words, Chen Hao nodded silently:

"You're right, I saw it, this guy did it on purpose.

You did a good job on defense just now, so he could only choose to attack with his shoulders lowered.

However, he will regret his actions later!"

Chen Hao patted A Lian's shoulder with a smile and spoke softly.

Alian nodded silently. He didn't know what measures Chen Hao would take to deal with Boozer, but he knew that Chen Hao would definitely do what he said.

Boozer was in a very good mood at this time, because in the previous attack, he showed his tough side and even gave Al-Farouq Aminu a warning.

This also greatly boosted the morale of the Jazz, and Jerry Sloan on the sidelines also nodded with satisfaction.

It's the Celtics' attack again!

Chen Hao dribbled across half court!
Facing Deron's defense, Chen Hao signaled Al-Suwaidi to step forward to provide cover!
After a quick cover by Alian, the team quickly broke apart!

The Jazz still adopted the defensive strategy of double-teaming Chen Hao!
Boozer also stood in front of Chen Hao!

At this time, the best way for Chen Hao is to pass the ball to Alian and let him shoot!

But Chen Hao didn't do that!

Instead, facing the double-team of Deron and Boozer, he chose to force his way into the inside!

Chen Hao dribbled the ball to the free throw line, and Deron and Boozer had already formed a double-team!

At this moment, Chen Hao suddenly accelerated and dribbled directly towards Boozer!
Seeing Chen Hao rushing towards him, Boozer's face showed excitement!
He knew that Chen Hao was trying to stand up for his teammate Abdul-Jabbar, so this was the best opportunity. He wanted to directly cause Chen Hao to commit an offensive foul!
Therefore, he was fully prepared. As long as Chen Hao bumped into him, he would fall to the ground!

However, just when Chen Hao was about to hit him, Chen Hao suddenly braked!
After an emergency stop on the brakes, Chen Hao suddenly jumped up!
He completed the jump right in front of Boozer!

Now, Boozer finally realized the seriousness of the matter. Chen Hao was trying to dunk on him!
How could he allow this to happen?

So Boozer simply stretched out his hands and tried to pull Chen Hao down from the air!
Of course, Boozer also chose to jump while putting his hands deep down. He wanted to directly flip Chen Hao down from the air!
He must not let Chen Hao score over his head!

The next moment, Chen Hao made physical contact with him!

I originally thought that Chen Hao would be easily knocked to the ground by me, but the actual situation was completely the opposite!
Boozer felt the huge impact force from Chen Hao, and he flew backwards uncontrollably!
Moreover, when he collided with Chen Hao, he felt severe pain in his body!

He felt that he was seriously injured!
Everyone at the scene clearly saw that during this attack, Chen Hao directly knocked Boozer away!
Moreover, the referee's whistle sounded at this time!
Hand gestures indicate that it was Boozer who committed the foul!

When Alian saw this scene, he also shouted excitedly:
“Well done!
Hit him!"

As Chen Hao's teammate, Jefferson was already very clear about Chen Hao's character. He smiled and patted A-Lian on the shoulder and said:

"Your compatriots are like this, they never leave a grudge overnight, they take revenge on the spot!

It seems that Carlos has suffered serious injuries!

He deserves it!"

　I beg you to read this, to collect it, and to vote for me!
