"Dang, get 50 triple-doubles and be rewarded with 10 victory points."
"Dang, win the Western Conference semifinals and be rewarded with 6 victory points."
Zhao Chen sensitively discovered that the rewards for personal records were becoming less and less, while the rewards for winning matches were also increasing.
In the first round of the playoffs, there are 4 victory points, and in the second round, there are 6.
It can be seen that as the importance of the game continues to increase, the further you go, the more victory points will be awarded for winning the game.
Zhao Chen did not stay on the court, but walked back to the locker room.
Along the way, Zhao Chen also high-fived and celebrated with the surrounding fans and staff.
Fans are asking for sneakers and jerseys, and Zhao Chen is also very generous, giving away a pair of sneakers at home every day.
The media will report the news about Zhao Chen sending shoes, and this kind of news will have a publicity effect on sneaker sponsors.
.....
"James Harden made mistakes and missed shots at critical moments, which helped the Thunder secure their victory in the end."
"The Rockets have a huge problem on the defensive end. They can't prevent the Thunder's offense, especially Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen's scoring and organization are too easy."
"The Thunder's tactics are also very good. Whether it is the consumption of James Harden or the pick-and-roll tactics of Zhao Chen and Durant, Brooks also showed his progress in on-the-spot dispatching."
Barkley and Smith summarized the game.
This game was exciting, the goals were dazzling, and the game was much better than the game against the Grizzlies.
.......
"We originally had hopes of catching up to the score, but we failed to guard Zhao and KD at that time. There were problems with our defense. I hope the team will make adjustments in the next game." Rockets head coach McHale said.
McHale was happy with the offense tonight, but really lost sight of the defense.
Howard and Jones on the inside are not very good frame protectors, while Jeremy Lin, Beverley, and Harden on the outside can't guard Zhao Chen and Westbrook.
It's really difficult to compete offensively and win with the Thunder.
James Harden also said in the face of a lot of flashes: "This is my problem. I did not lead the team to defend well. I also made too many mistakes on the offensive end. Everything will be different in the next game. This is a series." .”
Harden has the consciousness of a cornerstone player, and he takes everything into consideration.
In this game, Harden made as many as 6 turnovers, which was very eye-catching.
Howard said to reporters: "If you can't devote yourself to the game, you will lose this series. There is no doubt that we need everyone to unite."
Howard, who had always had a smile on his face, couldn't stop smiling after the game.
Howard is dissatisfied with the team's perimeter defense. He believes that the perimeter allows the opponent to come over too easily and it is difficult for him to defend.
The Rockets' interviews all consciously avoided one issue, which was Beverley's embrace of Westbrook.
The Rockets are the ones who benefited, and they have reason to remain silent, but the Thunder will not let this go easily.
Brooks spoke bluntly to the media: "That was a whistle that changed the situation. Such a foul should not appear in the NBA. If Russell hadn't been sent off, the suspense of this game would have ended long ago."
Zhao Chen also got angry and said: "The league needs to intervene in such an incident. This is not an action of running for the ball. Such an action should not appear in the NBA. That guy does not deserve a professional contract. He thinks this action is His way to survive, but it shouldn't be like this, and if the league doesn't respond, I would suggest Russell sue, that would be malicious wounding."
"Of course, if the league condones this kind of thing, then I can't guarantee where things will go next."
Zhao Chen's words were very offensive and aimed directly at Beverly. He also threatened the alliance to deal with this matter.
Durant also said: "It is recommended that everyone go back and watch the video, this is a hurtful move."
Robertson said: "I don't mind fouling them like this. When that guy comes on the court, I will beat him up."
The Thunder didn't talk about victory or data at all, they just attacked Beverley directly.
It was a display of Thunder unity.
The media wanted to direct the topic to the game itself, but everyone else in the Thunder kept silent about the game, only discussing Beverley's hurtful move.
If Westbrook is out for the season because of this, all previous efforts will be in vain.
............
"Thunder beat Rockets at home, Zhao Chenhao scored 50 triple-double. 》
"The Thunder generals refused to talk about the game because of Beverley's injurious actions. 》
"The situation is serious, and the alliance's top management urgently intervened. 》
"Beverley provokes public outrage, NBA superstars speak out. 》
"Notoriety is instant. 》
"The league is considering severely punishing Beverley. 》
After the game, fans discussed the game and also discussed Beverley's hurtful actions, which posed a huge problem for the league.
The league quickly stepped in to redefine the penalty for that game.
Westbrook's status is not comparable to Beverley.
Beverley flagrantly fouled Westbrook. If it hadn't been a big deal, the matter might have gone unnoticed.
But it happened that the Thunder made this matter a big deal.
League executives have also learned privately that if the league does not specifically punish Beverley, the Thunder will start to protest after the second game, and then there may be some uncontrollable incidents on the court.
The Thunder can use many methods, such as sending unknown players to flagrantly foul James Harden, or even maliciously looking for trouble.
This is not what the league wants to see.
........
In the hotel where away players stay.
"Patrick, you might be in trouble." Parsons came to Beverly and said.
"What trouble?" Beverley didn't care. He didn't think his actions on the court would cause any serious consequences. He had already been expelled.
"You'd better watch the news. Someone in the Thunder has already said something. If you continue to play, you will be in trouble." Parsons said.
This night, the Rockets really lost and lost!
Beverly turned on her phone.
"The league severely punished Russell Westbrook with a two-game suspension and a fine of $15,000, and Patrick Beverley was suspended for five games and fined $25,000. 》
"Presti said the team will pay Westbrook's fine. 》
"Super Giant Condemns Beverly!" 》
Seeing these news, Beverly's scalp was numb.
Westbrook's two-game suspension and his five-game suspension illustrate the league's favoritism.
There is also a fine of 25,000 US dollars, and the Rockets will not pay it like the Thunder. The Rockets are too stingy, and the salary is not high in the first place. Beverley now feels a pang of pain.
Beverly's face darkened.
He had no idea that his actions would cause such a disturbance.
Now Beverly doesn't even know who's messing with him.
........
After returning home, Zhao Chen was in a normal mood. After communicating on the phone about some off-site work, he video chatted with Enna.
Zhao Chen was behind the Beverly incident.
Zhao Chen also often plays point guard, which is to protect himself to a certain extent.
To strike first is to be strong, but to strike later is to suffer disaster.
Zhao Chen will not respond after being hurt. Beverley is an unstable factor on the court. If the league does not suspend him, Zhao Chen may let some people from the Thunder specifically target Beverley on the court. If Beverley Come on the stage, and beat Beverley as soon as every game starts.
Don't talk about Thunder and not respecting martial ethics. It's because the other party doesn't respect martial ethics in the first place.
Zhao Chen has a high status in the Thunder, and there are many players willing to help him.
