Chapter 193 After the game, Chen Hao, who had various ways of playing, played a depth bomb with the Playboy model!
Netizens were most active in discussing the answer to this question!
Especially netizens from Dragon Country, they meticulously studied this video, even replaying it frame by frame.
Finally, they caught the details:
Chen Hao's face was looking in Popovich's direction when he jumped to block Ginobili!
This means that Chen Hao consciously wanted to block the ball in Popovich's direction!
Upon seeing this, netizens from Dragon Country were stunned:
"Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!"
"Brother Hao really has some tricks! Who in the NBA would dare to easily provoke Brother Hao in the future?"
"In the future, when playing against the Boston Celtics, will the opposing Head Coach have to wear a helmet on the sidelines?"
"Although it seems intentional, it can't be definitively proven that he did it on purpose!"
Although this matter was escalating on the internet, Chen Hao didn't take it to heart.
Injuring Popovich was just something he did on a whim.
Currently, he was already at a private party.
This party was hosted by the owner of Playboy Magazine.
He admired Chen Hao immensely, to the point of fanaticism.
Moreover, since Playboy Magazine happened to have a photoshoot assignment in San Antonio, he decided to host a party there.
For the owner of Playboy Magazine, what he appreciated most were young, promising, and energetic players like Chen Hao.
Especially after learning that Chen Hao had challenged many Playboy Magazine models, his admiration for Chen Hao grew even stronger.
He had been young once, and he clearly knew how much ability it took for one person to challenge many models.
He definitely didn't have that ability now, so he wanted to see someone as exceptionally capable as Chen Haodefeat these models!
It was also fine to just enjoy the show.
If Chen Hao knew about his cuckolding fetish, he might really ignore him.
Of course, Chen Hao wouldn't let him witness the scene of him revealing his tungsten-titanium alloy microphone.
After all, he was worried that this special skill of his would scare the magazine owner to death.
However, the private party hosted by this owner was quite grand.
Firstly, almost all the attendees were models signed by Playboy, and they were all dressed as bunny girls.
And they were all fair-skinned and blonde, which greatly increased Chen Hao's interest.
When the owner saw Chen Hao appear, he looked at him expectantly and asked:
"Hey, Chen, what do you think of today's party?
Are you satisfied?
Just tell me directly!"
"Not bad, at least it's my type!
Tell me, boss, is there anything you want me to do?
If I can do it, I'll do my best!"
Chen Hao said with a playful smile.
And the owner of Playboy Magazine really asked expectantly:
"Really?
Then I'll tell you what's on my mind?"
"Go ahead, I'm listening!"
"Your performance on the court today was truly spectacular!
But I hope you can widen the score difference even more in the next game.
Because I really don't like the San Antonio Spurs, their owner and I have some grievances!"
After listening to the owner of Playboy Magazine, Chen Hao finally understood:
"So that's it, I was wondering why you would host a party here to entertain me!
So there's this connection!
Don't worry!
I don't like this team either, especially their Head Coach!
However, their Head Coach can't appear on the sidelines now!
So, in the next game, they should lose by even more points!
Actually, you could totally bet on it at a betting company!
That way you'd win more money!
For example, precise score predictions!"
Chen Hao's words greatly shocked the owner of Playboy Magazine:
"Are you serious?
Can you really precisely control the score?
That's almost impossible, isn't it?"
Chen Hao shrugged and said:
"Isn't everyone on the internet discussing whether I intentionally threw the ball at Gregg?
What do you think?"
"Are you saying you really did that to him on purpose?"
"As a matter of fact, I really did it on purpose!
That old guy is just too annoying!
That's why I made him realize what regret feels like!"
Chen Hao's words left the owner of Playboy Magazinestunned; he now truly admired Chen Hao:
"It seems I really do need to listen to your advice!
So, I hope you can win against the San Antonio Spurs by more than fifty points in the next game!
Can you do that?"
"Of course! I'll even give you an extra 8 points!
Win by 58 points!
How about that?"
"That would be fantastic!"
The owner of Playboy Magazine said with a look of pleasant surprise.
Chen Hao smiled and nodded, then the official part of the party began!
For Chen Hao, he preferred this kind of party because it was more challenging!
Moreover, in a private party, there were many tactics that could be rehearsed!
Although these were all fair-skinned models with very hot figures, Chen Hao still thought of many exciting games to play with them.
For example, Russian roulette, and of course, depth charges; these games were all very interesting.
The owner of Playboy Magazine hadn't expected Chen Hao to be so good at playing; there were many things he didn't know.
He looked at Chen Hao in amazement and said:
"I didn't expect you to be so wild!
It seems you're an expert too!"
Chen Hao smiled without a word; before he transmigrated, the seeds on his computer exceeded several terabytes.
So, he was already intimately familiar with these games.
"Actually, next time we could even play some role-playing.
Role-playing requires us to play characters from movies or TV, thereby triggering corresponding storylines."
Chen Hao's words made the owner eager to try:
"Really?
That sounds like a lot of fun!
We definitely have to try it next time!"
That night, for the Playboy Magazine models, was destined to be an unforgettable night.
They finally experienced what it felt like to be beyond their comprehension.
Chen Hao's stamina was truly too strong, and the ways he wanted to play were too flashy; they simply couldn't keep up with Chen Hao.
From beginning to end, they truly only had the role of being played by Chen Hao!
Of course, being played by Chen Hao was also a very stimulating experience.
Once they tried it, they wanted to try it again; they were completely conquered by Chen Hao!
In fact, by the end of the night, the owner of Playboy Magazine even expressed concern about Chen Hao's stamina:
"Hey, Chen, are you really not worried that your stamina will be overdrawn?
After all, you still have an NBA Finals game to play tomorrow!
And you have to win by 58 points!
Why don't you get some good rest?"
Regarding the owner's concern, Chen Hao helplessly spread his hands and said:
"Actually, for me, this is just a warm-up!
You don't have to worry about my performance on the court at all!
Moreover, I suggest that when you place your bets, try to bet big.
Because, it's very possible that you could directly retire!
Trust me, I won't trick you!"
Chen Hao's words made the owner doubtful; he really didn't dare to bet heavily, because after all, there was no solid proof.
Moreover, there were too many uncontrollable factors in a basketball game, so he still didn't dare to trust Chen Haotoo much in this matter!
Time flew by, and it was time for the second NBA Finalsgame to begin!
Before the game started, Chen Hao's arrogant remarks completely ignited the entire America basketball scene!
"In this game, I'm going to beat the San Antonio Spurs by 58 points!"
Chapter 194: Forcing the King to Come Out! Now that I've already pretended, I must pretend!
Even though the Boston Celtics had won by a large margin against the San Antonio Spurs in their previous game, even causing their defensive ace Bowen to withdraw due to injury, Chen Hao's pre-game declaration of winning by 58 points was indeed a bit excessive!
One must remember, this was still on the San Antonio Spurs' home court!
Despite their Head Coach Popovich having suffered a concussion from Chen Hao's block, his assistant coaches were not to be underestimated.
Especially since Chen Hao had completely offended the San Antonio Spurs' players, who were now filled with hatred towards him.
Therefore, in this game, the San Antonio Spurs' players would undoubtedly charge at the Boston Celtics fiercely, doing everything possible to secure victory.
As such, it would not be an easy task for the Boston Celtics to win this game.
Yet, Chen Hao, without considering the actual situation, brazenly declared he would defeat the San Antonio Spursby 58 points!
This wasn't a regular season game; it was the playoffs, and even more so, the NBA Finals!
Such a huge point difference is extremely rare in the history of the NBA Finals.
Furthermore, Chen Hao's high-profile announcement of his intentions before the game was undoubtedly a massive provocation to the San Antonio Spurs' players.
This was by no means a good thing for the Boston Celtics!
So, when the Boston Celtics' Head Coach learned of Chen Hao's arrogant remarks, he was equally horrified.
He quickly found Chen Hao and asked him why he had uttered such presumptuous words.
Chen Hao's reply only made Rivers feel even more helpless.
"Because I promised the owner of Playboy Magazine!
To beat them by 58 points!
So, I announced this result!
Don't worry, they have no ability to stop me from scoring!"
Chen Hao's confidence did not make Rivers feel at ease; instead, he became even more nervous!
Because he had a clear understanding of his own luck; he always felt that things going too smoothly was not a good sign for him!
Especially in the playoffs, he had experienced being overturned after a significant lead!
Now that the Boston Celtics, whom he coached, had won the first NBA Finals game by a large margin, he was even more cautious!
But Chen Hao was so arrogant before the start of the second game; he was practically courting disaster!
Now, upon learning the reason for Chen Hao's self-destructive behavior, Rivers was even more despairing!
"Oh my God!
Why did you agree to this?
This is the NBA Finals!
There are too many uncontrollable factors!
Under these circumstances, leading the team to victory is already an incredible feat!
But now you're saying you'll beat the opponent by as much as 58 points!
Isn't this forcing them to fight us to the death?
This is not advisable at all!"
Rivers explained the pros and cons of the situation to Chen Hao, but Chen Hao's expression remained very calm:
"I am fully aware of everything you've said!
But one thing I want to emphasize is that I simply don't care!
If the opponent truly had that capability, they would have shown it in the first game!
Since they couldn't even mount a comeback in the final moments of the first game, it proves their morale has been crushed by us!
Believe me, although my words greatly provoke their emotions.
In this game, they might perform even worse than in the last!
Because being overly emotional can also affect performance on the court!"
After listening to Chen Hao's words, Rivers did not feel much relieved.
He had even come to view this game as a potential loss!
So, he earnestly said to Chen Hao:
"Hey, Chen Hao, I know that early fame doesn't really mean much to you!
You feel like the whole world belongs to you!
So, you think you can do whatever you want!
That's why you said such things!
I won't blame you too much!
But I hope that after this game, you will realize a truth:
That is, never underestimate a Championship's heart!
Although our opponents' strength has been greatly diminished!
They are still very eager for the Championship title!
Perhaps their bench players will perform even better!
So in this game, I hope you will also give your all!
As for whether we can win, we won't force it!
Can you?"
Rivers knew the importance of Chen Hao to the Boston Celtics, so he tried to persuade Chen Hao to do his best using words that wouldn't provoke him.
Chen Hao's expression remained very calm:
"I am well aware of everything you've said!
Don't worry!
They won't win this game!"
Although Rivers and Chen Hao had this in-depth conversation, he was still uneasy about the game.
Despite Chen Hao having created countless miracles, the closer they got to success, the more nervous Riversbecame!
Perhaps this was just his personality; his mental fortitude was truly lacking!
As for the San Antonio Spurs, upon learning of Chen Hao's arrogant and presumptuous remarks, they all angrily spoke out:
"Damn guy! We will absolutely not let him steal victory from us again!"
"In this game, we'll show him what true team basketball is!"
"We'll let him know that a game is for five people, not one!"
"This guy, even if I break my leg, I'll make him take me down with him!"
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves!
Chen Hao's remarks once again drew countless eyes to the stage of the NBA Finals!
The San Antonio Spurs' Fans are among the most loyal Fans in the league, so the stands were still packed for this game!
Some Fans had even painted all the skin on their bodies in the San Antonio Spurs' colors, looking quite insane!
Chen Hao, in fact, did not understand such fanatical Fans!
Although he was also a part of an NBA team, Chen Haoalways felt there was no need for overly zealous Fans.
Players are people, and Fans are people; excessive adoration of a star is indeed not something to be proud of!
So, since these Fans were so fanatical, he wouldn't mind making them feel utterly disappointed!
Originally, Chen Hao had wanted to thoroughly dominate the San Antonio Spurs, and now he had found even more motivation!
Before this, Chen Hao had always held back somewhat in scoring during games, because he knew that many things didn't need to be overly explicit.
Because the NBA itself is a commercial league, its ultimate goal must be to make a profit.
The most attractive aspects of basketball are its uncertainty and suspense!
Although teams vary in strength, players sometimes depend on their form.
It's not uncommon for weaker teams to defeat stronger ones!
So, why shouldn't one expect the San Antonio Spurs to win this game?
Moreover, no matter how strong Chen Hao is, can he really be invincible?
Many Fans also had a mentality of sympathizing with the underdog; they hoped the San Antonio Spurs would win the game under these circumstances!
Therefore, the mindsets of Fans watching the game were myriad; everyone was different.
Given this, he naturally had to make good on his previous words!
The reason Chen Hao so arrogantly announced this before the game was also because he wanted to make himself nervous!
In the current games, Chen Hao always felt unable to get nervous because there was simply no need!
Even if he scored a crazy amount of points in a game, once he reached a certain level, he would find it dull and uninteresting!
Because he knew that no matter what method he used to score, his opponents couldn't stop him.
So, eventually, things would always become monotonous and boring.
But this time was different!
Because Chen Hao had a clear goal: he wanted to beat his opponent by exactly 58 points!
Not one point more, not one point less!
This meant that during the game, Chen Hao would not only have to score frantically but also constantly pay attention to the changing score!
And the opponent would absolutely not give him easy scoring opportunities; they would guard him tightly!
Therefore, this made the game even more exciting and thrilling!
It was precisely this sense of urgency that allowed Chen Hao to maintain his focus throughout the entire game and fulfill his promise.
For the Fans in Dragon Country, they had already grown accustomed to Chen Hao's arrogance!
Moreover, through their statistics, they also found that whenever Chen Hao publicly showed off, he succeeded without exception!
Now, Chen Hao's boast was probably his biggest one this season!
So, the Fans in Dragon Country were also holding their breath for Chen Hao:
"It feels like Brother Hao is trying to push himself to the limit this time!"
"Yes, is Brother Hao trying to make another breakthrough on the offensive end?"
"Honestly, there's absolutely no need for this!"
"But I like Brother Hao's arrogant demeanor; who cares if others don't like it?
They can't beat Brother Hao anyway!"
"Less talk, trust Brother Hao, he will never mess up!"
Clearly, the Fans in Dragon Country were full of trust in Chen Hao.
In their eyes, Chen Hao was a Superman-like figure; if he said it, he would definitely do it!
With the whole world watching, the game finally officially began!
Chen Hao's entrance was still accompanied by huge boos and curses from the entire crowd!
But Chen Hao's face always wore a faint, confident smile.
As he passed the entire San Antonio Spurs team, he specifically asked Duncan loudly:
"Hey, Tim, where's your Head Coach?
Isn't he the type who doesn't back down from a minor injury?
How come I haven't seen him today?"
Duncan's expression was clearly stunned by Chen Hao's sudden question.
But when he understood what Chen Hao was asking, his expression instantly turned grim:
"Hey, Chen, I advise you to be kind!
Sometimes, being too arrogant can bring trouble upon yourself!
I hope you can fully grasp what I'm saying!"
Duncan's reply made Chen Hao's expression even more playful:
"I've never heard any of that!
Don't people in America all believe in strength above all else?
My strength is far superior to yours, so what if I'm a bit arrogant?
Must the strong only live in a low-key manner?
And you weaklings, do you still think we're bullying you?
What a huge joke!
Let me tell you, in this game, no matter what you do, losing by 58 points is your ultimate fate!
You might as well give up on this game early!
There's no need to waste too much energy!"
After speaking, Chen Hao smiled, shook his head, and walked to the team's bench.
At this moment, Rivers also noticed the verbal provocation between Chen Hao and the Boston Celtics' players, which made him even more nervous:
"Hey, Chen, we still need to be a bit more low-key!
The game isn't over yet!
We still need to keep working hard!
The opponent is not an easy team to deal with!
They are the San Antonio Spurs!
If you keep provoking their players like this, they will really lose their temper!"
"Coach, you don't need to worry!
Even if they lose their temper, it can only be considered impotent rage!
But if I lose my temper, the consequences will truly be severe!"
Seeing Chen Hao disregard his advice, Rivers felt very frustrated.
However, Chen Hao's position in the team was simply too high, so even he dared not defy Chen Hao's ideas.
Because he knew that if it weren't for Chen Hao's presence, they would never have appeared on the NBA Finals stage!
Moreover, Chen Hao's playing style was also very reasonable; sometimes even Rivers hoped Chen Haowould make a small mistake or two, just to prove that Chen Hao was a normal person.
However, Rivers's expectation had never come to pass!
Chen Hao silently nodded at his Head Coach's instructions, then walked onto the court!
This game was equally important to Chen Hao!
The tough talk had already been released, so naturally, it had to be fulfilled!
Otherwise, he would truly become a laughingstock!
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began!
The first to tip the ball was Duncan!
After Parker received the ball, he didn't rush to dribble it up the court; instead, he slowly dribbled past half-court.
After crossing half-court, he observed his teammates' positions from the center circle!
When Parker made a gesture, all the San Antonio Spurs' players started moving!
Duncan quickly came in front of Parker and set a screen for him!
After setting the screen, Duncan quickly rolled to the basket!
As he rolled to the basket, he also turned his back to the defending Chen Hao, using his body to shield him!
He directly blocked Chen Hao behind him!
At this moment, Parker had plenty of space to shoot!
Moreover, there was no possibility for Chen Hao to interfere with his shot, because Duncan was still blocking him!
This pick-and-roll tactic was quite effective, and the key was Duncan's secondary screen; he couldn't face Chen Hao directly but had to turn his back to him, making a box-out move!
This way, it avoided the referee calling him for a moving screen!
Sure enough, the referee's whistle did not blow!
And Chen Hao was indeed blocked behind him!
Parker, at this moment, did not hesitate at all and directly shot a high-arcing floater!
However, just as he released the ball, something unexpected happened!
Chapter 195: Eva was so happy after beating Parker that she even wanted to plant grass on Parker's head?
Duncan originally thought Tony Parker's lob would be an easy score, but the moment Tony Parker released the ball, he suddenly felt a cool breeze sweep over his head!
He instinctively looked up at the top of his head!
And then, he witnessed a scene that would be unforgettable for his entire life:
Chen Hao had actually flown directly over his head!
Then, the moment Tony Parker's lobbed basketball reached its highest point, Chen Hao's large hand appeared in front of the ball!
With a wave of Chen Hao's large hand, the basketball was directly slapped out of bounds!
The Fans present were all stunned after seeing this scene!
They never dreamed that Tony Parker's most proficient lob shot could be so easily slapped away by Chen Hao!
What kind of monster is Chen Hao?
And Duncan, at this moment, had already begun to doubt his life!
He roared loudly in his heart:
"Damn it! Damn it!
How can this guy be everywhere!
I'm over two meters ten tall!
How can he just fly over like that!
What are this guy's feet made of?!"
Although Duncan still maintained his composure on the surface, in reality, his heart had completely gone mad!
He had never felt so desperate as he did today!
Especially since he had clearly blocked Chen Hao behind him, yet Chen Hao still flew over his head and slapped away his teammate Tony Parker's shot!
He truly couldn't accept this outcome!
Chen Hao was like Superman from a comic book; no one could defeat him!
As for the commentators on site, they had completely fallen into a frenzy:
"Oh my god!
This block by Chen Hao absolutely deserves to be the best block of the year!
I'd call it the 'Death Block'!
He actually managed to fly over Tim Duncan and block Tony Parker's lob!
In my opinion, he must have put on Superman's cape!
Otherwise, he couldn't have done this!
It's truly insane!"
The San Antonio Spurs Fans on site fell into a deathly silence; this block from Chen Hao plunged them into complete despair!
The San Antonio Spurs had already executed their offense to such a flawless degree, yet Chen Hao could still form an effective defense against them. Was there really no other way?
Whether it was the San Antonio Spurs players or the Fans, they had all begun to fall into deep self-doubt at this moment!
Chen Hao, on the other hand, after completing this astonishing block, calmly said to Tony Parker:
"Hey, Tony, you know what?
Your lob wasn't actually thrown high enough!
If you had thrown it just a little bit higher, I might not have been able to reach it!
Of course, the premise is that the basketball has to go over the top of the backboard!
Otherwise, it's still not safe enough!
Remember to pay attention next time!"
Chen Hao's words almost made Tony Parker collapse; he really didn't want to hear any more of Chen Hao's taunts!
This guy's words were truly infuriating!
One must know, his specialty was lob shots, a trick that had fooled many famous interior players.
Especially when facing the Rockets, Tony Parker loved to mismatch against Yao Ming, and his lobs always left Yao Ming helpless!
But now, facing Chen Hao, this move was no longer effective!
They were both from China, so why was Chen Hao so much stronger than Yao Ming?
In Tony Parker's opinion, these two were not on the same level at all; Chen Hao was truly too much stronger!
Just as Chen Hao delivered that incredible block to Tony Parker, his girlfriend Eva also witnessed everything from the sidelines.
At this moment, she was equally shocked; she hadn't expected Chen Hao's strength to be so formidable.
As a moderately famous Hollywood actress, Eva had naturally heard of Chen Hao's reputation. She even knew that Chen Hao had been rumored to be involved with several famous actresses.
Therefore, she was also full of curiosity about Chen Haoand wanted to see just how strong he really was.
After watching the first NBA Finals game, Eva was completely conquered by Chen Hao's strength.
Especially when she saw Chen Hao directly knock Popovich out cold with a block, her heart was filled with immense satisfaction.
Because Eva was also very displeased with Popovich; that old man had always opposed Tony Parker dating her, and had even said such words to Tony Parker:
"Women will only make you weak!
And she's older than you, and not that good-looking!
You can totally wait until you're successful and find someone better looking than her!"
Popovich's words were very harsh, but from his perspective, he was thinking of Tony Parker.
One must know, when the San Antonio Spurs drafted Tony Parker, he was actually nothing.
If it weren't for Popovich constantly placing strict demands on Tony Parker and vigorously cultivating him, he wouldn't have been able to perform as he did today.
Therefore, for Popovich, he certainly did not want to see Tony Parker neglect basketball for a woman.
That was why he spoke those harsh words!
This was also why Eva came to hate Popovich.
Now, she had personally witnessed Popovich being severely dealt with by Chen Hao, and she couldn't have been happier.
And for the second NBA Finals game, Tony Parker took it very seriously, even rejecting Eva's idea of spending a romantic night together.
This made Eva very angry; she felt that Tony Parker was making excuses for himself!
Now, seeing Tony Parker completely shut down by Chen Hao, she naturally felt a secret delight!
Eva even had a bold idea:
Since Tony Parker was so cold to her, why not plant some green grass on his head?
Once this crazy idea appeared, it could no longer disappear!
Now, seeing Chen Hao so powerful, her idea grew even stronger!
Chen Hao's incredible block directly crushed the San Antonio Spurs' morale to rock bottom!
However, Duncan was, after all, a player who had experienced great storms, and he quickly adjusted his mindset.
After re-encouraging his teammates, he signaled Ginobilito inbound the ball from the sideline!
Ginobili stood expressionlessly on the sideline, signaling his teammates to move into position!
As for Chen Hao, he stood relaxed at the free-throw line, observing Ginobili's passing direction.
Oberto set an off-ball screen for Duncan, and Duncanquickly seized the opportunity, turning and cutting to the basket!
Quick-eyed Ginobili powerfully passed the ball to Duncan!
Just as Duncan was about to catch the ball and complete a score under the basket, Chen Hao suddenly appeared in the passing lane at that moment!
Chen Hao made a steal!
Before the San Antonio Spurs players could react, Chen Hao was already dribbling with great strides and sprinting towards the frontcourt!
All eyes in the arena were focused on Chen Hao!
Leaving everyone in the dust!
He effortlessly completed a powerful two-handed dunk!
The arena once again became incredibly quiet!
At the beginning of the game, the atmosphere was quite lively!
But once the game started, the atmosphere took a sharp turn for the worse, and the Fans became silent, not making a sound!
There was nothing they could do; the San Antonio Spurs' performance was simply too poor!
No, to be precise, Chen Hao's strength was too great!
Therefore, they had no chance to cheer; this feeling was truly too stifling!
After two consecutive failed possessions, the San Antonio Spurs called a timeout!
The San Antonio Spurs' assistant coach's face was very grim; he knew that this was not the players' fault, but simply that Chen Hao was too strong.
As a result, he was at a loss for words when explaining the tactics!
Because he truly didn't know what else to say!
Finally, he could only offer some encouraging words, telling the players to believe in themselves, to play good defense, and to be as patient as possible!
As the game continued, the San Antonio Spurs' performance remained incredibly sluggish, and Chen Haowas like he was on steroids, everywhere at once!
Especially on the defensive end, Chen Hao often put on a show of guarding multiple players, directly rendering the San Antonio Spurs' offense fruitless!
As for the offensive end, Chen Hao often delivered spectacular assists; his no-look passes had reached a level of complete spontaneity, and the San Antonio Spursplayers simply couldn't guard against them.
Therefore, at the end of the first quarter, the Celtics were already leading their opponent by as much as 25 points.
20 : 45!
As for Chen Hao, he had already exploded for 25 points in a single quarter!
Originally, before the game, no one believed Chen Hao's arrogant words, especially the San Antonio Spurs Fans.
But now, after one quarter of play, their opinions had undergone a drastic change.
Now, they had only one thought in their hearts:
That was to absolutely not let the Celtics actually beat them by 58 points!
This was their last bit of dignity!
If Chen Hao truly made good on his word, then both the San Antonio Spurs and their Fans would definitely be the biggest laughingstock!
As for Chen Hao, he would absolutely become a legend in one battle!
Therefore, the home Fans had already begun to shout loudly:
"Damn it!
Don't let him score!
Even if you have to foul!
You can't let him make such easy passes!
Do you really want them to beat us by 58 points?!"
The San Antonio Spurs players were actually very frustrated; they had truly tried their best!
Both the starters and the bench players knew that this game was a battle for their honor.
Especially with Chen Hao's humiliating words before the game, it made them realize the importance of this match even more.
However, there is a huge chasm between thinking and doing.
And Chen Hao was clearly their roadblock; they simply couldn't stop Chen Hao's performance!
Therefore, the San Antonio Spurs players' only thought now was also not to let the Celtics win by 58 points!
Otherwise, they really wouldn't be able to hold their heads up for a long time!
On the contrary, the Celtics players had completely shed their pressure, which allowed them to fully unleash themselves!
Aside from Chen Hao, all the other players found their shooting touch!
Whether inside or outside, whenever an open shot appeared, it was easily made!
So, the second quarter was a full-blown offensive explosion for the Celtics!
The point difference was widened again!
40 : 78!
The difference between the two teams had already reached 38 points!
With 20 points remaining until the 58-point mark, it no longer seemed so out of reach!
At this, the Celtics players all began to get excited:
"Oh my god! It turns out there really is a chance to beat them by 58 points!"
"Chen, you're truly a god! We'll definitely help you achieve this wish!"
"Just imagine, us winning against the San Antonio Spursby 58 points in a single NBA Finals game, what a magnificent feat that would be!"
"Since that's the case, we must continue to perform in the second half!"
"Let them see our insane offensive capability!"
The Celtics' morale had been completely ignited, and Chen Hao was very satisfied with this outcome.
He knew that no matter how strong he was, trying to beat the San Antonio Spurs by 58 points with individual ability alone would be quite difficult.
But if the whole team worked together, there was a high possibility.
Now that his teammates' confidence had returned, achieving this result didn't seem so hard anymore!
Of course, the San Antonio Spurs players would absolutely not let the Celtics achieve this easily.
Therefore, during halftime, whether it was the coaching staff, the players, or even the San Antonio Spurs' general manager, they all expressed their views!
They unanimously agreed:
"We absolutely cannot let the Celtics continue to widen the lead in the second half!"
So, their strategy was to foul aggressively!
Rather than letting them score easily, it was better to send them to the free-throw line!
Moreover, even if they couldn't stop Chen Hao, they absolutely had to stop the other players; this time, they had to fight for their lives!
Indeed, in the second half, the San Antonio Spurs' defensive intensity increased again!
This time, they were all-in, not caring about fouls!
Especially when dealing with the other players, their tactics were even more ruthless!
At this, the shooting percentage of the other Celticsplayers began to decline!
In fact, the score difference was even narrowed slightly!
By the middle of the third quarter, the score difference had become 30 points, an outcome that greatly energized the home Fans!
"It seems our players have awakened!"
"So, there's no way we'll lose by more than 30 points!"
"Still want to beat us by 58 points? Don't even think about it!"
"We even have a chance to come back!"
Chen Hao's expression also became serious; he had anticipated this outcome, and it was the most difficult situation!
Therefore, he had to play with all his might!
Thus, in the latter half of the third quarter, Chen Haostarted his personal scoring mode!
Chen Hao began to shoot wildly from beyond the three-point line; the San Antonio Spurs players dared not rush forward, because it was very easy for Chen Hao to draw a defensive foul!
And the result of this was that Chen Hao made 6 of 6 three-pointers in the third quarter, exploding for 18 points!
And the score difference, which had been narrowed with great difficulty, was once again stretched to 42 points by Chen Hao!
As the third quarter ended, the score had become 68 : 110!
Only 16 points remained until Chen Hao's target, and there was still one quarter left!
At this moment, the home Fans once again fell into silence!
This game, for both the San Antonio Spurs players and Fans, was quite agonizing, leaving them physically and mentally exhausted!
However, they couldn't relax at all, because the fourth quarter was the most crucial!
Whether they could hold on concerned their honor, and they absolutely could not give up at this point!
Otherwise, they would become the biggest laughingstock of the season!
Chapter 196: Keep your word! The team beat the Spurs by 58 points! Eva is blocking the way, is she going to send a cannon?
For the Spurs players, the fourth quarter was crucial; it was no longer a personal matter, but about the face of their entire team.
They could lose the game, but they absolutely couldn't truly lose by 58 points!
If they really lost by 58 points, they would truly have no face to confront their supporting Fans!
Moreover, they would definitely become a laughingstock, and it would even make the upcoming NBA Finalsdifficult!
So, during the break between quarters, the assistant coach, with a solemn expression, said to the players:
"I believe, even without me saying it, you all should know the importance of this game, right?
The final quarter is our last chance!
I truly don't want us to have to bow and apologize to the Fans after the game!
And our Fans will be very disappointed in us!
For us, this would truly be unacceptable!
So, we must use every last bit of our energy to significantly narrow the point difference!
No matter what, in this game, we cannot let that guy step all over us!
We are irreconcilable with the number 58!"
Both Duncan and Parker understood the assistant coach's words; as the absolute core of the team, they had to shoulder this responsibility!
Therefore, in the fourth quarter, they absolutely could not allow Chen Hao any easy scoring opportunities!
Especially when Chen Hao actively attacked the basket, they had to pull him down hard; this was their decision!
As the whistle sounded, the game continued!
The live camera gave a big close-up of Chen Hao, and a confident glow could be seen on his face.
The San Antonio Spurs' home Fans no longer booed Chen Hao, because they were truly afraid of him!
This guy was simply too terrifying!
His scoring explosiveness was truly too strong!
In the third quarter, Chen Hao even managed to score with difficult fadeaway jump shots while being triple-teamed or quadruple-teamed, which completely refreshed their understanding of basketball.
The problem now was Chen Hao; he had to be completely shut down!
This possession, the Celtics attacked first!
After receiving the ball, Chen Hao slowly dribbled past half-court.
When he dribbled to near the mid-court line, the San Antonio Spurs' double-team came!
This time it was a triple-team!
And it formed instantly!
The goal was to force Chen Hao into a turnover at that position!
When Chen Hao saw the double-team coming, he calmly threw the ball to the right corner!
This was a pre-arranged tactic!
The one who received the ball was West!
The moment he got the basketball, Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs rushed over directly, not giving him any time to shoot, and fouled him!
This time, Duncan's movement was very aggressive, directly knocking West to the ground!
The referee's whistle sounded!
Duncan was called for a defensive foul, but West did not get up for a long time, clearly having sustained a relatively serious injury!
At this, the home Fans actually cheered loudly, believing that Duncan's defensive move was perfectly fine!
After examination by the Celtics' team doctor, it was determined that West could not continue the game!
Thus, West withdrew from the game due to injury!
In reality, the Celtics were already leading the San Antonio Spurs by a large margin, and they didn't need to play with their full starting lineup anymore!
But because of Chen Hao, they were still playing with their full starting lineup, which many Fans found very difficult to understand!
Although Chen Hao had made a bold statement before the game, saying he wanted to beat the San Antonio Spurs by 58 points, in reality, very few people would actually do that, because the outcome of the game was already without suspense.
If Chen Hao really wanted to achieve this result, it would mean he didn't understand social etiquette and was forcefully stepping on the faces of the San Antonio Spursplayers!
Therefore, at this time, many Fans sympathized with the underdog, believing Chen Hao's actions were excessive.
This was also why the Fans all chose to side with the San Antonio Spurs!
But for Chen Hao, since he had said such a thing, he had to try his best to accomplish it.
Otherwise, he would be the one laughed at.
As the fourth quarter began, the San Antonio Spursplayers all became fiercely aggressive.
Whether it was the starting players or the bench players, whenever a Celtics player had the ball, they would frantically rush to defend, completely disregarding whether the opponent would get injured.
Under these circumstances, the Celtics players also started to get a little flustered!
As the saying goes, those with nothing to lose fear nothing, and at this moment, the San Antonio Spurs were indeed a bit intimidating!
They were also worried that if the San Antonio Spurscontinued their frantic play, it would cause them harm.
Chen Hao also saw his teammates' concerns, so during a timeout, he said to his teammates:
"Hey, guys, you don't need to worry, just give me the ball!
You just need to stand firm in your positions!
I'll take care of everything else!"
Chen Hao's words made the Celtics players' expressions a bit awkward, especially A'lian. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Hao actively interrupted:
"A'lian, I know what you want to say!
Don't worry, I can handle this!
You guys just enjoy the show!"
A'lian could only give up. He knew Chen Hao's one-on-one ability was very strong, but he was facing the frenzied San Antonio Spurs, and Chen Hao might not really be able to handle it alone.
However, he also knew Chen Hao's personality very well. Since he had said so, he could only follow his instructions.
So, after the timeout, Chen Hao actively received the ball in the backcourt!
The moment Chen Hao received the ball, the San Antonio Spurs players once again frantically rushed to press and steal!
But Chen Hao handled the ball with great composure. He first made a small dribble change of direction, shaking off Parker, who was the first to rush up!
Then came a nutmeg pass, getting past Ginobili, and finally a behind-the-back dribble, shaking off Duncan's face-to-face defense!
Chen Hao moved like a dancing butterfly, easily weaving through the defensive crowd formed by the San Antonio Spurs.
So, when Chen Hao crossed the mid-court line, he had already shaken off all the defenders!
Under the gaze of all the Fans in the Stadium, Chen Haoshot a pull-up three-pointer without hesitation!
This three-pointer swished in steadily!
All the Fans in the Stadium were speechless; they had never seen such an arrogant shot!
And the live commentator exclaimed loudly:
"Oh my God!
Is this guy possessed by God?
He actually dribbled past all the defenders and completed a pull-up three-pointer!
How can they possibly play against that?"
In fact, in Chen Hao's opinion, playing basketball also requires a certain spirit.
Currently, the San Antonio Spurs players have a suppressed anger that hasn't been vented, which makes them very difficult to deal with.
But!
If, despite their tight defense, the ball is still easily made, and their defense is even casually broken, then the blow to them will undoubtedly be fatal!
Sure enough, after Chen Hao made that three-pointer, the faces of the San Antonio Spurs players were all filled with despair!
Especially Ginobili, his expression was the most unsightly, because Chen Hao had directly nutmegged him!
This was a very rare occurrence in his entire career; one must know that he was the man who once led his team to overturn the Dream Team!
Now, in front of Chen Hao, he was nothing, which was indeed very frustrating!
And after making this three-pointer, Chen Hao even smiled and turned to the San Antonio Spurs players, saying:
"You don't have much time left!
Your defense actually isn't as tight as it looks!
Can you show me a tighter double-team defense?
I'm really looking forward to it!"
Chen Hao's words further enraged the San Antonio Spurs players; their breathing instantly became heavy.
This outcome was what Chen Hao most wanted to see, because only then would they make mistakes.
Playing basketball isn't something that can be done with just passion; it requires a calm mind to execute various tactical plays.
Now that their emotions had been affected by Chen Hao, if Chen Hao continued his efficient performance in the time to come, they would definitely collapse!
San Antonio Spurs attack!
They tried to find an offensive opportunity in the paint!
But unexpectedly, Parker on the perimeter turned the ball over directly under Chen Hao's frantic pressure!
After Chen Hao completed the steal, he once again went coast-to-coast and made a pull-up three-pointer!
In one back-and-forth, Chen Hao scored 6 points!
At this point, the difference from 58 points was only the last 10 points!
Now, the Fans in the Stadium were completely desperate!
In their eyes, Chen Hao was simply an unbeatable force; with him on the court, the San Antonio Spurs could not possibly catch up in score!
What was even more infuriating was that Chen Haocontinued to mock Parker after stealing the ball from him:
"Hey, is someone like you still called the 'French Sports Car'?
Are you really not afraid of others laughing at your mother when you say that?
I thought my skin was thick enough!
But in front of you, I can only be considered a younger brother!
Look, even now, after being humiliated like this by me, you can still remain unfazed. That's truly astonishing!"
Chen Hao's words made Parker completely erupt!
He angrily rushed towards Chen Hao!
He wanted to directly knock Chen Hao to the ground, but Chen Hao just made a nimble turn, and with a gentle push with his right hand behind Parker, he directly pushed Parker to the ground!
And after Chen Hao did all this, he looked at the referee with a shocked expression and shouted:
"Oh my God!
Referee!
You saw it, didn't you?
This guy actually attacked me first!
Luckily I dodged in time, otherwise I would have been beaten to death by him!"
Chen Hao's words made the referee's expression extremely ugly.
They had figured out Chen Hao's personality; this guy was best at feigning innocence, but he was also very clever!
Although Chen Hao lightly pushed Parker during Parker's shove towards him, it wasn't an excessive action.
Compared to Parker's malicious behavior, Parker would naturally receive a more severe penalty!
Therefore, the referee promptly called an unsportsmanlike foul on Parker, which made Parker, who was on the ground, even more furious!
He got up from the ground again and angrily spewed trash talk at the referee, because he felt that Chen Haoshould also receive the same punishment as him.
The referee's authority was challenged, so naturally, Parker was given a technical foul!
At this, Parker became even more displeased; he had completely lost control!
So, a second technical foul was also called!
After accumulating two technical fouls, Parker was ejected from the game!
The San Antonio Spurs' lineup went from bad to worse!
And seeing Parker suffer such humiliation, Eva, who was watching from the side, also felt disgraced, so she prepared to leave.
Of course, Chen Hao's brilliant performance also made her very interested in Chen Hao.
She even sought to get Chen Hao's contact information for a thorough and in-depth conversation with him!
With Parker's departure, the San Antonio Spurs' morale plummeted.
And Chen Hao took this opportunity to continuously shoot from beyond the arc!
Thus, the San Antonio Spurs were finally defeated!
Ultimately, the game ended, and the San Antonio Spurstruly lost to the Celtics by 58 points!
This huge point difference also became a great humiliation for the San Antonio Spurs!
And Chen Hao, after accomplishing this feat, was unusually low-key. When interviewed by reporters, he said with a smile:
"I'm actually not someone who is unforgiving when I'm in the right!
I just wanted to make good on everything I said!
Fortunately, I did it!
So, I hope you can understand my intentions!"
Just as Chen Hao was leaving the Stadium, Eva, who had been waiting for him, appeared before him:
"Hey, you just did that to my husband, and I want to talk to you!"
Chapter 197 Being targeted by the gang?
Looking at the serious Eva in front of him, Chen Haofrowned:
"You should have watched the entire game, so you know exactly what happened.
I don't think there's anything more to discuss."
Chen Hao's words made Eva's expression turn ugly:
"My husband has now been ejected from the game.
He was never a hot-tempered player before; this is the first time I've seen him so angry.
Don't you think you should take responsibility for this?"
"So, what kind of responsibility should I take?"
Chen Hao was almost laughing in anger.
"At the very least, you should apologize to me and let me see your sincerity."
Chen Hao found Eva's request a bit hard to understand:
"Why should I apologize to you?
Besides, I don't need to show you my sincerity!"
After speaking, Chen Hao prepared to leave, which made Eva even more anxious:
"You can't just leave like that!
You at least have to take me home!
Because Tony Parker drove me here!
But now, because of you, he just left!
So, you need to take me back to my home!"
Eva finally spoke her true thoughts, which made Chen Hao's expression turn peculiar:
"So, after all that, you just want me to take you home?"
Eva nodded silently. She wasn't very tall, appearing quite petite standing in front of Chen Hao.
However, although she looked petite, other parts of her were not.
Chen Hao shook his head helplessly. He indeed had no reason to refuse Eva's request.
Moreover, he understood some meaning from Eva's eyes, knowing that she had another idea regarding him.
To verify his idea, Chen Hao felt that taking Eva home was the only way to find out.
So, Chen Hao nodded silently and said to Eva:
"So, do you want me to call a car to take you home now, or drive you home?
I'm on an away game, I don't have my own transportation here."
Seeing Chen Hao agree to her request, Eva appeared very excited:
"Really?
That's great!
I have a car right now!"
After saying that, she handed the car keys in her hand to Chen Hao.
Chen Hao took them and was a bit surprised; they were Bentley keys.
It seems Eva also has good financial resources. Sure enough, actors are all rich.
He wondered if this Bentley was bought by her or given by Tony Parker.
When Chen Hao followed Eva to the parking lot, they were already spotted by reporters.
They were very curious about such a combination because these two couldn't possibly be together no matter how they thought about it.
Especially since Chen Hao had formed a deep feud with Tony Parker during the game, why would his wife be with Chen Hao instead?
Could it be that Eva and Chen Hao also had an unusual relationship?
Reporters were the most gossipy, so they immediately took pictures of the two walking together.
When they saw Chen Hao get into Eva's Bentley, their gossipy expressions intensified:
"Good heavens, it looks like these two are going somewhere!
Does Tony Parker even know about their relationship?"
While shocked, the reporters also promptly drove after them, wanting to know what would happen between the two.
Actually, what Eva had just told Chen Hao was somewhat of a lie, because it wasn't Tony Parker who refused to take Eva, but Eva who actively asked Tony Parker to leave first.
Because in Eva's opinion, Tony Parker's performance today was too disappointing. In front of Chen Hao, he couldn't do anything, acting like a clown.
So, Eva thought that Tony Parker being by her side would embarrass her greatly, which was why she didn't want Tony Parker to pick her up or drop her off.
At the same time, Eva also wanted to get close to Chen Hao, communicate with Chen Hao, and ideally invite Chen Hao to her home.
At that time, she could take further action with Chen Hao.
Now, Eva's first step of the plan had succeeded; Chen Hao had successfully gotten into her car.
Next, it was to get Chen Hao into her house and form a deeper relationship with Chen Hao!
As for the reporters following them, Eva didn't care because she had quite a few scandalous news stories.
Moreover, Tony Parker trusted Eva implicitly and would not have any suspicions about her.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Eva looked at Chen Hao's profile, making an adoring expression as she asked:
"Hey, you were really intimidating during the game!
I always felt like you were going to pin Tony Parker to the ground and beat him up at any moment!
Is that always your playing style?"
Chen Hao looked helpless at Eva's question:
"Hey, that wasn't intimidating, that was just serious!
I'm not the kind of player who just wants to hit people casually!
When was it not them who provoked me first?
I was always forced to retaliate!"
Chen Hao's explanation left Eva speechless because what Chen Hao said was indeed the truth.
"But you were too heavy-handed, weren't you?
Bruce Bowen and Gregg won't be out of the hospital for months!
Do you really think you went easy on them?"
"For those who deliberately want to cause me trouble, I naturally won't show any mercy!
As for those two guys you mentioned, I don't think they are innocent!
They brought this upon themselves!
So, this is my playing style!"
After hearing Chen Hao's explanation, Eva also nodded silently.
Putting herself in his shoes, she also felt that Chen Hao's actions were correct.
After all, the other party's behavior was indeed very excessive, and she felt that there was nothing wrong with Chen Hao doing that!
"Hey, I think I still have an obligation to remind you!
We are currently being followed!
Do you have anything to say?"
Chen Hao's words instantly made Eva's expression excited:
"Really?
Are you saying someone is following us right now?
Who are they?"
Chen Hao shook his head and said:
"As for who they are, I really can't be sure!
However, they should be reporters.
After all, only reporters would follow me so persistently."
Chen Hao's answer gave Eva a bold idea:
"If they really are reporters, do you have the confidence to shake them off?
If we could shake them off on the road, that would be really cool!
That would be very exciting!"
Eva's expression was very excited, and Chen Hao's brows furrowed again.
Although he wasn't very fond of these reporters either, he didn't have the idea of speeding on the road with them.
So, Chen Hao shook his head and said:
"No, we don't need to shake them off!
Because they don't pose a threat to our personal safety!"
Chen Hao's words made Eva very disappointed:
"Alright then, if they're just reporters, they really can't pose any threat to us!
But what if it's a gang?"
Actually, Eva just said it casually.
But the moment she finished speaking, a black Cadillac minivan that had been following behind suddenly accelerated and rushed alongside them.
Then, Chen Hao saw the rear window roll down, and a dark gun muzzle was pointed at Chen Hao!
This discovery instantly made Chen Hao's expression serious!
Good heavens, it wasn't reporters, but gunmen!
Although Chen Hao felt extremely shocked internally, he didn't lose his composure because of it.
His mind was incredibly calm, and his right foot instantly pressed the accelerator. The Bentley roared and shot forward!
Eva, who was sitting in the passenger seat, originally had a disappointed expression, but Chen Hao's sudden acceleration shocked her greatly!
Because she hadn't noticed anyone pointing a gun at Chen Hao; instead, she thought Chen Hao was really going to shake off the vehicles following them.
"Hold on tight! We're in trouble!"
Chen Hao's low voice sounded!
Only then did Eva realize the seriousness of the situation:
"Not reporters?"
"No, someone just pointed a gun at me!
Although they are after me, you are also in the car now!
So, you are also in danger now!
It seems we really are going to put on a spectacular car chase!"
Chen Hao's words instantly made Eva's expression turn to terror:
"Really? Is someone really pointing a gun at you?
Who exactly are they?
Why are they pointing a gun at you?"
"I'm also very curious about this. Is it a local gang?
Or has someone put a bounty on my head?
Could it be that my performance in the NBA Finals has angered certain people?"
Chen Hao spoke while steadily driving the car through the city.
As for the black Cadillac minivan that had just tried to shoot Chen Hao, it had already been left far behind by Chen Hao.
But Chen Hao didn't relax because of this, as he didn't think the other party would only send one gunman to deal with him.
Because this was the United States, a place where everyone had American-style drawing of swords.
Since they already wanted his life, many people would naturally want to take risks!
Just as Chen Hao was thinking about this, he noticed a large truck suddenly swerving towards him from his side!
Its speed was quite fast. If he were hit, even with his Tungsten-Titanium Alloy Constitution, Chen Hao would likely be in grave danger!
Fortunately, Chen Hao reacted quickly, accelerated again, and narrowly avoided the brutal collision.
And Eva was now truly convinced that they were being targeted, and it was the kind that involved a threat to life.
"Damn it! Who is it? How dare they be so crazy?"
Chen Hao, on the other hand, remained remarkably calm:
"Perhaps it's because I completely infuriated some gamblers in this game!
After all, a huge 58-point difference can cause many people to suffer heavy losses in their wallets!"
Eva was quite surprised to see Chen Hao so calm, and she retorted:
"But you don't look panicked at all!
Are you really not afraid they might take your life?
If someone has truly put a bounty on your head, your situation will be quite dangerous!"
Chen Hao ignored Eva's question and asked with a smile:
"Didn't you just say you wanted to experience the thrill of speeding?
Now let me give you a taste!
So, hold on tight!
I'm going to start speeding!"
Eva's Bentley was perfect for showcasing its performance, and Chen Hao also wanted to try out his god-level driving skills.
The black Cadillac minivan reappeared behind them, and Chen Hao's expression began to turn playful.
He suddenly braked, then made a left turn and pulled the handbrake, instantly performing a drastic tail whip!
They, who were originally in front of the Cadillac, now appeared behind it!
Chen Hao's maneuver completely stunned Eva:
"With your skills, one would think you're a race car driver!
How did you do that?"
"Isn't this a simple matter?
We'll shake them off very soon!"
Chen Hao teased with a smile, stepping on the accelerator and speeding off in the original direction!
The Cadillac following them was thoroughly outmaneuvered, and Eva's expression was incredibly shocked!
She had only seen such scenes in movies, and she never expected to experience it firsthand now!
Moreover, Chen Hao's calm and composed demeanor made her incredibly admiring!
Women are naturally attracted to strong men, especially in such an intensely exciting situation. Chen Hao's effortless performance made Eva feel that her body had undergone some kind of change!
She quietly tightened her legs, and her face began to flush.
After shaking off his pursuers, Chen Hao said calmly:
"It seems their driving skills are quite ordinary!
To be shaken off so easily by me, it's quite disappointing!
I thought I could play with them a little longer!"
Chen Hao's words made Eva's face even redder:
"So, you weren't nervous at all from beginning to end?
How could you be so calm?
They were already using guns!
If they had really caught up, it would have been quite dangerous!"
Chen Hao smiled at Eva's words:
"First, they can't catch me!
Second, even if they really have guns, they might not be able to hit me!
Finally, haven't the police already arrived?"
At this moment, loud police sirens echoed throughout the street, and Eva instantly felt much safer!
But Chen Hao didn't stop because of this, as he didn't want too much contact with the police, so he directly said to Eva:
"So, where is your home?
I'll take you home now!
The police shouldn't find us!"
Chen Hao's words greatly surprised Eva:
"You don't even need police assistance?
You know your situation is very dangerous right now!
It's very likely that these gunmen were hired by San Antonio Spurs Fans!
Aren't you afraid?"
Chen Hao shook his head frankly and said:
"No worries, because we're leaving tomorrow!
These small fries can't stir up any trouble!"
Chen Hao's calmness greatly shocked Eva, but she eventually let Chen Hao take her home!
Just as Chen Hao was about to leave, Eva suddenly grabbed Chen Hao's hand and looked at him with a worried expression, saying:
"Actually, you can stay at my place until tomorrow. It should be safe here!"
Chen Hao was very surprised by Eva's attempt to keep him:
"The problem is, your husband Tony Parker might not like me staying at your house!"
"He and I don't live together!
So, you don't have to worry!"
Chen Hao: "???"
Chen Hao naturally had no reason to refuse Eva's invitation, after all, he also wanted to see what Eva's capabilities truly were!
This night was destined to be a fierce battle. Chen Haowould climb Eva's peaks and descend into her valleys!
Chapter 198 Gangster Hunting Order! A reward of one million US dollars is offered for Chen Hao's head!
In Eva's perception, many NBA players seem very strong, but most of them are actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
For example, Parker, his ability is quite average, and Eva is not very satisfied with him.
However, when she truly sparred with Chen Hao, she was horrified to discover that her previous notions about NBA players' abilities had completely collapsed!
How could Chen Hao be so powerful?
After a full two hours, Eva had completely lost her fighting strength; she felt like a puddle of mud, unable to even lift a finger!
And Chen Hao?
His tungsten-titanium alloy microphone could still dominate.
Now, she had truly experienced Chen Hao's strength!
"You're so fierce, who could possibly be your opponent?"
Eva's question came from the heart; she really wanted to know if Chen Hao had ever encountered an opponent on the street court.
Regarding Eva's question, Chen Hao smiled, waved his hand, and said,
"Actually, now that you ask, I really haven't found one!
Unless everyone gangs up on me!
If everyone double-teams me, maybe I'd find it a bit hard to handle!
But if it's a one-on-one series of challenges, then I really haven't met an opponent!"
If anyone else said something like that, Eva wouldn't believe a word of it.
But the person saying it was Chen Hao, so she truly believed it!
You know, although Eva isn't tall, she's considered a famous defensive player.
Especially her tight pressing defense; most people really can't break through her defense.
However, in front of Chen Hao, her proud defense was completely useless; Chen Hao easily defeated her!
That's why she so readily believed what Chen Hao had just said, though she quickly understood the meaning behind Chen Hao's words:
"So, you want to accept challenges from multiple people?
That would make you very interested?"
Chen Hao nodded silently:
"Indeed, I like to accept challenges, I like to accept different challenges!
Outside the basketball court, I also want to constantly improve my offensive abilities!"
Eva nodded silently and said with a teasing smile:
"Since that's the case, I can introduce you to many defensive players!
Their abilities are quite famous in Hollywood!
Of course, you might have already sparred with some of them!
But there are still many who haven't had the chance to spar with you!
Are you interested?"
Chen Hao found Eva's question very interesting:
"So, you want to act as a matchmaker now?
To let me accept more and greater challenges?"
"Yes, that way I can also see where your limits truly lie!"
Eva said, looking at Chen Hao with curiosity.
"Since you've put it that way, of course I won't refuse!
As long as you can find me enough opponents, I won't hold back my strength!"
Eva was already eager to see Chen Hao being challenged by numerous Hollywood actresses; it would surely be quite spectacular.
A fierce car chase, even involving gunshots, occurred on the streets of San Antonio, drawing significant police attention.
Local media were also quite curious about who was involved in the intense chase and shootout on the city streets.
The police, after reviewing surveillance footage along the route, finally discovered some clues.
In fact, the police were very clear about the local gang's distribution and personnel composition.
So, when they saw the black Cadillac commercial vehicle, they already guessed that it was the local most powerful gang carrying out an assassination mission.
This shocked the police greatly, and they also wanted to know who was being hunted.
Subsequently, they found that the chased car belonged to Eva, and they also knew that Chen Hao was inside!
At this point, the local police had already figured out the whole story!
Someone had issued a bounty for Chen Hao, wanting his life!
Thus, the police quickly found the relevant bounty order for Chen Hao on the dark web!
It was a million US dollars!
Whoever could take out Chen Hao would get a million US dollars!
No wonder Chen Hao was being hunted; it was indeed a very tempting bounty amount!
After the police learned about the bounty, the media quickly got wind of the news as well.
Consequently, news about Chen Hao being hunted for a bounty was reported!
This shocked Fans across America:
"Oh my God!
It seems this guy has angered some big shots!
He's now being hunted for a bounty!
Can he still make it out of San Antonio alive?"
"Yes, I feel like this guy has already peed his pants!"
"He probably doesn't dare to appear in public anymore!"
"A million US dollars! I'm even a little tempted now!"
Both American and Chinese netizens were extremely shocked by this news!
And the NBA league, upon learning of this news, was also quite tense; President David Stern even called Chen Hao immediately, wanting to inquire about his specific situation!
But unfortunately, Chen Hao didn't answer the phone because he was busy sparring with Eva!
In addition to President David Stern's concern for Chen Hao's personal safety, the general manager of the Boston Celtics and his boss also called to inquire about Chen Hao's well-being.
But without suspense, the phone couldn't get through, and Chen Hao's fate was unknown.
At this time, they could only ask Head Coach Rivers to confirm Chen Hao's whereabouts and ensure his safety.
Head Coach Rivers, upon learning about the bounty on Chen Hao, trembled all over with fear.
He genuinely didn't know where Chen Hao had gone because Chen Hao had never reported his whereabouts to him.
Because Chen Hao always preferred to act alone, and the team couldn't overly restrict him.
After all, his strength was the strongest in the entire team, and restricting him was clearly not a wise choice!
Furthermore, Chen Hao never missed a game without reason; even if he didn't come home at night, he would always appear on time for the game the next day and easily help the team win!
With such performance, Rivers had no reason to question Chen Hao's whereabouts or actions.
But now, Chen Hao was being hunted for a bounty, and his phone couldn't be reached, which truly meant something might have happened!
Rivers woke up all the players and asked them to use their connections to find Chen Hao's whereabouts!
And he kept persistently calling Chen Hao, wondering if Chen Hao hadn't seen the call.
Soon, some players saw the news about Chen Haogetting into Eva's car, and they boldly speculated that Chen Hao might be at Eva's house!
But they didn't have Eva's contact information, although they did have Parker's!
Although contacting Parker directly seemed a bit impolite, at this moment, there was no time to worry about such things!
So, Jefferson dialed Parker's number!
When Parker answered the phone, Jefferson said somewhat awkwardly:
"Hey, buddy, are you still awake at this hour?
That's great!
I just happen to have something I want to ask you!
Are you free?"
"Damn it! No!"
Chapter 199: Single-handedly found the gang's lair and killed the gang boss! Black Widow Taylor Swift!
Parker was so angry because he had just received a call from a reporter asking if he knew Chen Hao and Eva had left the stadium together.
When Parker heard the news, he felt like the sky had fallen!
At first, he thought it was a reporter's prank, but when he turned on the TV, he quickly saw related TV reports.
Even the news of Chen Hao being hunted down was reported!
So, Parker also really wanted to know if Chen Hao was hiding in Eva's home right now.
Now that Jefferson called again asking if he knew Chen Hao's whereabouts, he was even more certain that Eva had taken Chen Hao home!
Since even Jefferson knew that Chen Hao was taken home by Eva, it meant that many people knew about this matter!
This was why he was so furious!
Wasn't this telling the whole world that he had been cuckolded?
Moreover, Jefferson, that guy, specifically sought him out to ask about Chen Hao's whereabouts; wasn't that just rubbing salt in his wounds?
Now, what Parker hoped for was that Chen Hao would be directly killed by these gangs; that would be the best outcome!
As for whether Eva was also killed along with him, he no longer cared; it would be best if she was!
After being cursed at by Parker, Jefferson was also very depressed; he shrugged at Head Coach Rivers, indicating that he still couldn't find Chen Hao's whereabouts.
And Rivers also started to become anxious:
"Where is this guy, exactly?"
"He couldn't really have been killed, could he?"
"Are we only able to seek help from the police?"
The other players all nodded, indicating they were helpless and could only rely on the police!
At this moment, A'lian was also very worried about Chen Hao's safety; he certainly didn't want Chen Hao to be in any real danger.
Just as they were about to go to the police station to report the case, someone's phone rang!
It was already close to dawn, and everyone quickly looked in the direction of the ringing phone; it turned out to be Rivers's cell phone ringing!
Rivers looked at it, and the caller ID was actually Chen Hao's phone number, which greatly shocked him:
"It's Chen Hao's!"
After saying that, he quickly pressed the answer button.
After exhaustion, Eva fell into a deep sleep.
Chen Hao, bored, could only choose to sleep; he never kept his phone on when sleeping because he didn't like to be disturbed.
So, when Chen Hao woke up from his sleep, it was already dawn, and Eva, naked beside him, was still immersed in her dreams.
When Chen Hao turned on his phone, he saw countless missed calls, which greatly surprised him!
However, Chen Hao quickly reacted and called back proactively!
The first person he called back was the team's general manager; he told the general manager that everything was fine and he had just had a good night's sleep.
Chen Hao also asked the general manager to relay the news of his safety to the boss, and then he called the Head Coach back.
When Rivers learned that Chen Hao had merely turned off his phone to sleep and was in no danger, he finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Then, he immediately told Chen Hao to pay attention to his safety and that he would ask the San Antonio police to escort them to the airport to catch their flight.
Because now, Chen Hao's personal safety was of utmost importance and could not be taken lightly.
Regarding Rivers's nervousness, Chen Hao seemed quite calm:
"Hey, Coach, no need to be so nervous!"
"Am I not perfectly fine right now?"
"Moreover, these so-called bounty lists pose no danger to me!"
"I want to get rid of them; it's as easy as turning my hand, no police escort needed!"
"See you at the airport!"
After saying that, Chen Hao hung up Rivers's call and then silently opened the computer at Eva's house.
When Chen Hao learned that the local gang had issued a bounty on him, he was already prepared to retaliate against them!
Yesterday, because Eva was by his side, it was inconvenient to act.
Now that he knew the culprit, he had to make them pay the corresponding price and let them know that provoking him would not end well!
Chen Hao quickly found the gang's area of activity online and found two American katanas in Eva's home.
As an American, it was quite normal to have a few American katanas at home.
Chen Hao took the two American katanas and drove Eva's sports car straight to the most active area of the local gang!
When Chen Hao arrived at this place, he did not choose to hide his identity; instead, he got out of the car directly and swaggered to the entrance of a shop!
This shop was actually where the local gang met, which was why Chen Hao appeared here!
When Chen Hao appeared at the entrance of this shop, someone immediately recognized him!
Then, a sharp whistle sounded!
Soon, many gang members appeared around Chen Haowith their weapons!
And Chen Hao, the moment he saw them surrounding him, had already reacted!
The American katana in his hand quickly struck down the gang members who surrounded him onto the ground!
And Chen Hao's body quickly found cover, protecting himself!
Although he possessed the Tungsten-Titanium Alloy Constitution, Chen Hao did not dare to rashly put himself in danger and let himself be hit by bullets; this would be an irrational act!
Besides, these cat-and-dog gang members were not worth him using his ultimate killing move.
He came here to retaliate against this gang and let them clearly see his strength!
These gang members hadn't even reacted before they were all struck down by Chen Hao onto the ground, going to meet God!
Looking at the dozen or so gang members lying around him, Chen Hao walked calmly to a member who had only been shot in the feet:
"Hey, I know you're not dead yet!"
"So, if you don't want to end up like your buddies, then lead the way for me!"
"Take me to your boss!"
"Then your job will be done!"
Chen Hao's words gave this gang member a lifeline; he looked at Chen Hao with a pained expression and asked:
"Really?"
"Will you really let me go?"
"Of course, but you have to take me to find your boss first!"
These gang members were not tough nuts, especially the dark-skinned ones.
So, Chen Hao smoothly got this gang member to lead him to his boss's doorstep!
He had this member knock on the door and then hid behind him; very smoothly, the door opened, and it was indeed the gang boss!
The moment the gang member shouted "Boss!", Chen Hao had already given him three direct shots, knocking him down onto the ground!
This gang boss was thus killed by Chen Hao!
And that gang member was completely terrified by Chen Hao's actions!
"Tell your other members not to easily provoke me in the future!"
Chen Hao arrived at the airport on time and met up with the other Boston Celtics players!
When his teammates were asking Chen Hao about the terrifying things he experienced yesterday, Chen Haocalmly said:
"Actually, these gang members' strength is just average!"
"I just simply used my driving skills and easily shook them off!"
"So, these are all just scary tricks!"
"No need to take them to heart at all!"
Chen Hao's calmness greatly shocked the Boston Celticsplayers:
"So, you really aren't worried about your safety at all?"
This was Jefferson asking.
"You should pay attention to the news soon; you'll quickly know the answer!"
"Because I also know some people who can help solve my problems!"
Chen Hao said confidently, which greatly surprised his teammates:
"Really?"
"When did you get to know such people?"
But he didn't get an answer; Chen Hao just smiled silently and shook his head.
The Boston Celtics players successfully boarded the plane and safely arrived in Boston.
When they got off the plane and turned on their phones, they immediately saw news about a shooting incident in San Antonio.
Moreover, what shocked the Boston Celtics players the most was that all the people who died in this shooting were gang members, and it even included their gang boss!
According to witnesses, these gang members were all struck down by a tall person!
The Boston Celtics players all looked at Chen Hao in horror; they couldn't even believe the news they were seeing!
What Chen Hao said had really come true!
Someone had already taken care of this gang's boss!
The bounty order for Chen Hao had also been revoked!
Chen Hao was not surprised by this outcome at all; he had even told them in advance!
This showed that Chen Hao truly had the ability to deal with these gang members!
Did he really know a very capable gang boss?
Although they really wanted to know what methods Chen Hao used, they knew it was Chen Hao's privacy, and they had no right to know.
However, they gained a new understanding of Chen Hao's strength, knowing that Chen Hao was not just the simple player he appeared to be!
When the American netizens learned of this news, they were also greatly shocked:
"Damn, did this guy get to know some powerful figure?"
"A tall gunman? Only one? Could it be him personally?"
"Oh my God! I didn't expect the NBA to have such exciting gossip news; I just don't know what the final outcome will be?"
"Now that the bounty order has been revoked, Chen Hao's personal safety should be guaranteed!"
"Yes, he has now safely returned to Boston, and no one should attack him next!"
"I wonder if he will be scared by this shooting incident?"
"Perhaps this itself was a means to intimidate him, to make him perform poorly in the subsequent games?"
In the eyes of American netizens, Chen Hao must have been severely affected, and he might even be affected in the upcoming NBA Finals!
In addition to these netizens, even Chen Hao's many confidantes believed that Chen Hao should receive comfort.
So, when Chen Hao arrived in Boston, both taylor and Guǎ Jiě immediately took flights to Boston.
Thus, after returning to Boston, Chen Hao did not get the rest he deserved and began his new life on the wild court!
Perhaps it was because they considered Chen Hao to be frightened, so this time Guǎ Jiě and taylor did not avoid each other and relaxed Chen Hao together!
In fact, they also wanted to compete with each other to see whose defensive ability was stronger!
In taylor's opinion, Chen Hao's tungsten-titanium alloy microphone was developed by her, and she was also a famous singer, so she was Chen Hao's favorite wild court opponent!
As for Guǎ Jiě, although her figure was quite explosive, her height was far inferior to taylor's; she could only be considered Chen Hao's number two sparring partner and was simply no match for her.
As for Guǎ Jiě, she also scoffed at taylor's figure, believing that taylor had no advantages other than being tall.
Now, it was time for them to compete with each other!
And Chen Hao was happy to see their mutual competition and even asked with interest:
"Do you prefer one-on-one or a group fight?"
"What is one-on-one? What is a group fight?"
"One-on-one means you take turns, one by one.
A group fight means you all go at it together."
Chen Hao's answer made taylor and Guǎ Jiě both roll their eyes.
Then, Guǎ Jiě said to taylor:
"How about I go first!"
"Looking at your physique, your defensive ability shouldn't be that great!"
taylor, after being mocked by Guǎ Jiě, looked very angry:
"So you think your defensive ability is very strong?"
"Why should I let you go first?"
"Can't I go first?"
Watching them bicker, Chen Hao's expression was very playful:
"How about you two fight a match first?"
"Whoever wins goes first?"
Chen Hao's words instantly made Guǎ Jiě and taylor's eyes light up with passion; they really wanted to do that.
However, in the end, they still chose a gentler method, deciding the winner by rock-paper-scissors.
Ultimately, taylor won the chance to go first; she looked at Guǎ Jiě with disdain and said:
"I advise you to get some good rest!"
"I won't be done for several hours!"
Regarding taylor's arrogance, Guǎ Jiě retorted sharply:
"You'd better not be defeated within an hour!"
"That would make me laugh my head off!"
Chen Hao was already very interested watching them argue.
Since taylor was so confident, he would let her experience his true strength!
So, Chen Hao started to go all out!
taylor, who had initially thought she could easily last for several hours, actually ran out of stamina and was defeated after just one hour!
She even rolled her eyes several times during the process!
Chen Hao's strength was truly too powerful; a full-power Chen Hao was simply not something she could contend with!
And Guǎ Jiě, who was watching from the side, was also incredibly shocked after seeing Chen Hao's true strength; she even felt that she might not be able to last an hour either!
"Is this guy doing this on purpose?"
"Does he want us to know his true strength?"
At this moment, taylor had completely lost her previous arrogance, but she still stubbornly said to Guǎ Jiě:
"I hope you can last half as long as I did!"
Guǎ Jiě's mood was also very anxious now, because she clearly saw that taylor rolled her eyes several times.
Now it was her turn; would she also be like that?
Soon, Guǎ Jiě knew the answer!
Chen Hao did not go easy on her at all; he truly continued to go all out!
"Damn, this microphone is too terrifying!"
Guǎ Jiě exclaimed, rolling her eyes!
In the end, Guǎ Jiě was quickly defeated!
