Stability and maturity are also characteristics of Zhao Chen.
After traveling back in time, it is difficult for Zhao Chen to return to the mentality he had when he was 20 years old.
This is also the reason why Zhao Chen can chat with relatively older players such as Westbrook, James, and Kobe.
According to their personalities, they rarely treat young people like Zhao Chen so deeply.
They think the rookies are just a bunch of rookies, and there are even many kids who haven't grown up yet.
Zhao Chen is an exception. We can talk about family and career with Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen also naturally mingled with those mature players.
Zhao Chen started training with 500 LOGO three-pointers!
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
With this kind of LOGO three-pointer, Zhao Chen's hit rate is close to 80%!
This is a terrifying hit rate, and you can see Jokic's surprise from his open mouth next to him.
This is not an ordinary exaggeration. Jokic feels that Zhao Chen's LOGO three-pointer is two points longer than his.
"Boss, please teach me how to shoot the LOGO three-pointer." Jokic shamelessly pestered Zhao Chen and said.
"You can't shoot, you have to grab the board." Zhao Chen ignored Jokic.
Jokic's long shot?
Do not make jokes.
That would be a disaster.
Not every player is suited to extreme distance.
In addition to him, small men like Lillard, Curry, and Trae Young are suitable.
Jokic shrugged and continued running in circles...
After Zhao Chen finished training, he returned to the locker room.
There was another person in the locker room.
PJ Tucker.
Tucker looked like he had just returned from strength training.
"Zhao, can you give me a pair of your Flying General 1? Your sneakers are really hard to steal." Tucker came over and said to Zhao Chen.
Tucker is a sneakerhead.
"Okay, no problem. What size do you wear?" Zhao Chen asked.
Zhao Chen's sneakers are basically sold out as soon as they are snatched up, and their collection value is very high.
Outsiders couldn't get them, so Zhao Chen had a lot of them himself. He had a truckload of sneakers, all given by sponsors.
"Just your number, sign your name." Tucker said.
"OK." Zhao Chen took out the sneaker pen from the closet, signed it quickly, and handed it to Tucker.
"PJ, why do you like collecting sneakers so much?"
Tucker is recognized as the shoe king in the NBA, and Zhao Chen has also heard about his hobbies.
It is said that if Tucker does not play well in the first half, he will change his first half shoes.
In order to ensure that the shoe change goes smoothly, he has the most sneakers in the locker room.
"This has been my hobby since I was a kid," Tucker said.
"Yes, I will visit your home when I have time." Zhao Chenke said.
"No problem." Tucker saw that Zhao Chen was a little interested in sneakers, so he enthusiastically introduced them to Zhao Chen.

"The Lakers' first press conference of the new season was packed with people, and Zhao Chen showed his high popularity!" 》
"You can't imagine how popular Zhao Chen is with fans! 》
"Crowded the venue, crazy first day interview. 》
"They are both Los Angeles teams, but the Lakers and Clippers are completely different. 》
"Paul is dissatisfied with the media's bias towards the Lakers. 》
"Paul: We are stronger and we should be a more respected team. 》
"Zhao Chen boasts of winning the championship!" ! 》
It was also the first day of training camp, and the Clippers were much bleak.
The media in Los Angeles went to the Lakers.
This treatment caused dissatisfaction among the Clippers.
....
After the training camp started, Zhao Chen gradually became familiar with the new team.
With his super personal strength, Zhao Chen quickly conquered his teammates and coaching staff on the training ground.
Before Kobe Bryant comes back, the Lakers will completely become a single-core team in the new season.
Zhao Chen got a tactical position that he couldn't get in the Thunder.
In the Thunder, no matter how good Zhao Chen is, Brooks will always consider the presence of Durant and Westbrook when arranging the focus of tactics. Among 10 sets of tactics, Zhao Chen may have 4 sets, Durant 4 sets, and Westbrook Brooke 2 sets.
It's not like coming to the Lakers. In Scott's tactical arrangement, 8 of the 10 sets of tactics are around Zhao Chen, and the other 2 are for substitutes.
If Zhao Chen can play for 48 minutes, Scott will not hesitate to assign 10 sets of tactics to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen's tactical position is the absolute core!
........
After training for a period of time, the Lakers also ushered in their first preseason game.
The Lakers host the city rivals Clippers.
The Clippers' record in recent years is much better than that of the Lakers, but they are far from the Lakers in terms of market appeal.
The Lakers' season tickets are cleared out almost every year, and the price of ordinary game tickets is much higher than that of the Clippers.
Now the Clippers are a strong team that aspires to the championship. They have three All-Stars in Paul + Griffin + DeAndre Jordan. Facing the Lakers' long-standing popularity, the Clippers players are very unconvinced, so every time they compete in a city derby, the Clippers The boat will be ruthless if it touches the Lakers.
In the past few seasons, the Lakers were weak, and the Clippers only beat the Lakers in various ways.
This summer, the Lakers have changed their look, and the Clippers' fighting spirit has become high again. Many of them want to teach Zhao Chen, who is called the new king of Los Angeles by fans, some lessons.
October 15th.
The Lakers' preseason begins.
Staples Arena was also filled with fans early, and there were many fans wearing Zhao Chen's jersey.
Lakers fans want to see if the new Lakers can pose a threat to the powerful Clippers.
Of course, no matter how much heat and attention this game receives before the game, this is just a preseason game, and the coaches and players of both teams cannot do their best.
The main purpose of the preseason is to find the rhythm of the game and train new players.
Both teams also need to finalize the 15-man roster before the deadline.
This game is the color of the Lakers wooden floor, which is the home court of the Lakers.
During the appearance ceremony, Zhao Chen received a standing ovation from all the Lakers fans!
Lakers fans expect the Finals MVP to lead the Lakers back to the league's highest finals stage.
Lakers starting lineup: Zhao Chen, Joe Harris, Wesley Johnson, Boozer, Hill.
Joe Harris was not yet qualified to start. It was only after Zhao Chen discussed with Scott that he was mentioned as a starter.
Although Joe Harris's three-point shooting ability is not as strong as he was with the Nets, he has already shown his shooting ability.
At least his three-point shooting stability must be above average. Apart from Zhao Chen, his shooting is the most stable.
Joe Harris also cherished this opportunity. After knowing that he was going to start the game before this game, he had been taking the initiative to talk to Zhao Chen about tactics and seemed a little nervous.
Zhao Chen patted Joe Harris on the shoulder and consoled him: "You only need to do two things on the court. One is to find a gap, and the second is to hit a three-pointer."
Joe Harris nodded nervously.
Seeing his appearance, Zhao Chen didn't say much. The more he talked, the more nervous he became. Rookies still need to play more on the court to build up their confidence.
Clippers starting lineup: Paul, Redick, Barnes, Griffin, DeAndre Jordan.
Both Griffin and Jordan were a little careless.
For them, this preseason game is just a warm-up.
Some people take the preseason seriously, and some don't.
Zhao Chen and Paul are obviously the type of people who value preseason.
Zhao Chen is pure personality. As long as he is on the court, he will try his best to play.
Paul's words were more about suppressing Zhao Chen, his rival in the same city.
Finals MVP! !
Gee, Paul hasn't even touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals.
.....
Soon, the game started.
DeAndre Jordan and Jordan Hill jumped up.
