This game left Knicks head coach Woodson speechless.
The absence of Westbrook and Kevin Durant doesn't seem to have that big of an impact on the Thunder.
Leading them by 17 points!
They are the Knicks with a full lineup. Even if they are on the road, they will be beaten too badly.
Zhao Chen came off the field and high-fived his teammates to celebrate.
The second half started really well.
"The Knicks are about to collapse," Barkley said.
"They never had anything to do with Zhao," Kenny Smith said.
As the two narrators put it.
After returning from the timeout, the rhythm of the game did not change much.
The Knicks also had no chance to reduce the score to single digits.
As soon as they have the momentum to chase points, Zhao Chen will step forward to suppress their momentum.
The game lasted 4 minutes and 11 seconds.
Zhao Chen formed a duel opportunity with Anthony on the right side.
After a series of dribbles, Zhao Chen completed the step back!
Although Anthony's defense was in place, it failed to prevent the ball.
Basketball hollow hit! !
This step back three-pointer opened the point difference between the two teams to 20 points! !
Brooks also replaced Zhao Chen in the next round.
Zhao Chen does not need to play in the next garbage time.
In the end, the final whistle sounded, and the Thunder successfully won the game.
The score was fixed at 100 to 117.
The Thunder defeated the Knicks at home.
Data from both parties:
For the Knicks: Anthony had 33 points, 11 rebounds and 1 assist, JR Smith had 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Tyson Chandler had 16 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks, and Bargnani had 18 points.
Although Anthony's scoring is good and his shooting percentage is 47%, he only has 1 assist. His help to his teammates is almost zero, and most of his scoring comes from his own singles.
JR's shooting percentage was unbearable. He made only 3 of 15 shots in the game. He was the first to take the blame for the Knicks' losses.
Under Zhao Chen's defense, JR Smith struggled very much. After the game, he even covered his face with a towel, not daring to look at his teammates, and walked back to the locker room with his head lowered.
JR didn't dare to stop and face the reporters. He didn't know how to respond to the reporters' difficulties. The gap between him and Zhao Chen in this game was too big.
The performances of Tyson Chandler and Bargnani were quite satisfactory.
Thunder side: Zhao Chen once again got a triple-double, playing 34 minutes and scoring 38 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds.
Adams had 12 points and 4 rebounds, Robertson had 7 points, 4 steals and 3 rebounds, Sefolosha had 12 points, and Lamb had 21 points.
Zhao Chen is the number one contributor to the Thunder's victory. His personal efficiency is very high, with a two-point shooting rate of 56%, a three-point shooting rate of 50%, and a free throw shooting rate of 100%.
In addition to personal scoring, Zhao Chen's passing also drove the team. This is also the key to the Thunder's ability to suppress the Knicks.
...........
"Incredible game, Zhao had a triple-double in three consecutive games."
"He dominated the game on both ends of the floor. No one would have thought that this guy would play the way LeBron James plays."
"With two core players missing, he easily defeated the Knicks' challenge."
"I can't say enough good things about him, he just wows me."
Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith shouted in rapid succession.
Buckley's impression of Zhao Chen completely changed.
Three consecutive games with a triple-double. This game showed Zhao Chen's versatility. He is no longer a defined 3D player.
Domestically, fans in the live broadcast bar and Hupu forum are also excited at this time.
"When Westbrook and Durant came back, they found that the boss's position was no longer guaranteed, haha."
"After several consecutive victories, Zhao Chen made Thunder fans forget about the two big guys."
"Zhao Chen's ability to seize classes and seize power is quite strong."
"Presti's best move this year was to select Zhao Chen, but the worst move was to only sign him for one year."
"Summer looks good."
"Zhao Chen's ability is really strong. He mainly shoots, supplemented by other playing methods. The opponent has no way to limit him."
.............
Shower room!
"Dang, get three consecutive triple-doubles and be rewarded with 10 victory points!"
"Dang, win the game and be rewarded with 2 victory points!"
Zhao Chen now wants to imitate Westbrook's triple-double, and he also realizes that the victory point reward for a triple-double is the highest.
Zhao Chen converted 12 victory points into 6 breakthrough attribute points, turning the 74 breakthrough attribute points into 80.
In this way, Zhao Chen's offense-related attributes are above 80.
After taking a shower, Zhao Chen and the head coach attended the press conference.
The reporter asked: "What does it mean to you to get three consecutive triple-doubles?"
Zhao Chen replied: "My confidence is stronger."
The reporter asked: "What do you want to say to J.R. Smith?"
Zhao Chen said: "There is nothing to say. My goal is to win the championship and win every opponent. Before the game, I am willing to argue with them. After the game, I will focus on the next game."
The reporter asked: "Westbrook will return in the next game, how will you deal with the issue of ball rights with him."
Zhao Chen replied: "It's still the same as before. I can do it without the ball or with the ball."
The reporter asked: "Some fans say you want to be the boss of the Thunder. What do you think?"
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "No one of us is the boss, we are all brothers."
A female reporter asked: "Are you single now?"
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "Although your question is not suitable here, I am willing to say that I am single."
The female reporter continued to ask: "What type of girl do you like?"
.....
.....
"Kakakaka!!"
Zhao Chen has fully attracted the attention of the media in these games.
The media found that writing about Zhao Chen's topics would generate a lot of traffic.
These topics are not limited to basketball, teammate relationships, and status evaluation, but also include scandals and life outside the basketball court.
Especially Zhao Chen's gossip has an extremely high click-through rate, which also caused less than half of the press conference to become Zhao Chen's gossip interview.
The Thunder's press officer also quickly stopped these similar questions.
...........
After visiting.
Zhao Chen and Westbrook got on the bus together, and the two were communicating about the next game!
In the next game, the Thunder will face a powerful opponent!
Golden State Warriors! !
The Thunder will challenge the Warriors away from home! !
The current Warriors have not yet reached their true peak, but their peak will be next season.
Zhao Chen can't ignore Curry and Thompson who are about to reach their peak.
This game is still difficult for the Thunder.
First of all, Durant did not come back. Although Westbrook will come back, his status is unknown. Compared with the Thunder's opponents in the first three games, the Warriors are obviously much better.
.............
When the Thunder's special plane flew to Oakland, Golden State.
The news about Zhao Chen's three consecutive triple-doubles also completely shocked the league.
A rookie, scored triple-doubles in three consecutive games, and led the team to win without the team boss!
The impact it brought to everyone was shocking.
