"Why didn't you take action immediately after knocking down your opponent?"
"What do you want to say to James Harden?"
"How do you respond to Howard's comments before the game?"
"Some people say that you and Kobe are at odds. What do you think?"
.....
In Los Angeles, dealing with the media is a must.
The media will not always brag about Zhao Chen, but there are also those who specifically criticize Zhao Chen.
No matter how good Zhao Chen plays, there will always be some stupidity.
Some media outlets are sanctimonious, obviously praising Zhao Chen, but secretly taking it out of context.
Zhao Chen has also experienced many of these things, so he is extra careful when speaking.
Battles of wits and courage are all too common here.
The media asked many questions, and Zhao Chen felt like he was playing his second game.
After dealing with the reporters, Zhao Chen went home first.
Some veterans still have their second half in the nightclub, and Zhao Chen doesn't like that kind of life.
Enna went back to China to commentate on the game, and he just happened to enjoy the single life alone.
...
...
The opening match came to an end.
The news about Zhao Chen and the Lakers quickly shocked the entire league.
"It's still the Zhao Chen we are familiar with. As long as you like to look at data, Zhao Chen will not let you down. 》
"Los Angeles New Boss Level!" 》
"The Kobe era is over, the Zhao Chen era is coming!" 》
"Zhao Chenhao scored 50+ triple-double, but the Rockets counterattack failed!" 》
"In the duel between the two top scorers, Zhao Chen is even better. 》
"The Lakers usher in a new era, the Zhao Chen era!" 》
"Zhao Chen breaks the record again, we are used to this!" 》
....
There are many fans at home and abroad who brag about Zhao Chen.
Fans also like to compare Zhao Chen with the major super giants.
"Zhao Chen is no worse than Jordan at the same time."
"If we keep playing like this, surpassing Jordan won't be a problem."
"Zhao Chen's goal this season is very clear, he is aiming for the regular season MVP."
"The Rockets look very strong, but they are vulnerable to Zhao Chen."
"Come on Zhao Chen, Lakers championship."
Fans who were originally unhappy with Zhao Chen joining the Lakers now have to recognize the role of Zhao Chen in joining the Lakers.
Zhao Chen seems to have further liberated his talent in the Lakers. He is playing more freely. He does not need to worry about Durant or Westbrook. There will be more and more such games in the future.
In just one game, Zhao Chen conquered the fans who watched him play, and he became the absolute core of the Lakers.
After last season's success, the number of Zhao Chen's fans has increased dramatically, and Zhao Chen's commercial value is also constantly being realized.
After arriving in Los Angeles, Aaron Mintz negotiated several higher-priced endorsement contracts for Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen's commercial value is no worse than James and Kobe. To a certain extent, this is why outside merchants believe that Zhao Chen will not achieve lower achievements than James and Kobe.
When he got up early the next morning, Zhao Chen made a video call to Enna.
Enna had just returned home from get off work.
Zhao Chen bought a large house with three bedrooms and two living rooms in a well-known community in the capital. Zhao Chen knew that house prices would not fall, but would only rise. This was also an investment.
Enna lives in this new house.
Enna not only lives alone, Xiaoqi also lives with her. The two of them have a good relationship. Enna doesn't want to be bored by herself, so it's good for them to commute to get off work together.
After the video between Zhao Chen and Enna ended, Xiao Qi also prepared dinner.
"Enna, your Brother Chen is alone over there, aren't you worried about him going out to play?" Xiao Qi admired Enna's calmness.
NBA stars are notoriously messy in their personal lives.
Like James Harden, how attractive is his gossip with Kardashian?
Xiao Qi felt that if she were Enna, she would go directly to Los Angeles to prevent Zhao Chen from cheating on her.
"Brother Chen can't." Enna said confidently.
Enna knows Zhao Chen's character. He is more interested in basketball than women.
She doesn't know about other NBA players, but she knows Zhao Chen's character.
This is also her trust in Zhao Chen.
Seeing Enna's determined look, Xiao Qi said with envy: "You two have such a good relationship."
Enna said: "It's okay."
Xiao Qi said: "Enna, why don't you let Zhao Chen support you in filming TV series or something? Didn't you want to be a star before?"
Enna said: "Brother Chen said that I am not suitable for the entertainment industry, so I won't go."
Enna knew that if she really wanted to enter the entertainment industry, Zhao Chen would agree to her and help her arrange everything. However, Zhao Chen said that it was not suitable there, and she felt that listening to Zhao Chen's words was enough.
Xiaoqi could feel the changes in Enna. When talking about Zhao Chen, Enna became gentler.
Xiao Qi joked: "Oh, it's Brother Chen who said, Enna, I noticed that you have become less independent."
Enna said: "Hehe, it's not that we don't have opinions, we just respect each other's opinions, and he also respects my ideas."
Enna felt that Zhao Chen also considered her factors when he chose to go to the Lakers.
Although Zhao Chen didn't say this explicitly, she could feel it.
Xiao Qi said: "I really envy you. I hope I can have the same relationship as you and Brother Chen in the future."
Enna covered her mouth and smiled: "Xiao Nizi, stop thinking about spring and eat quickly."
Xiao Qi's cooking skills are better than Enna's, and Xiao Qi usually cooks most of the food.
Xiao Qi said: "Eat, eat, I'll eat you to death and get fat, let Brother Chen dump you."
Enna said: "If you want to gain weight, I will drag you to become fat with me..."
...........
October 29th.
The Lakers challenged their city rivals the Clippers away from home.
It's said to be an away game, but it's still the same arena, just the color of the floor has been changed.
The Lakers' championship flag and retired jerseys are flying high in the sky.
These signs indicate that although the Clippers are also in Los Angeles, they are not the owners here, they are just guests.
Scott made lineup adjustments for this game.
Dinwiddie, Zhao Chen, and Joe Harris started as three guards, with Randall and Hill partnering inside.
Scott also gradually gave more trust to new people.
The Clippers are old rivals, and they still have the same old lineup.
Paul, Redick, Barnes, Griffin, DeAndre Jordan.
Facing the Clippers, the Lakers didn't feel very good, and Zhao Chen was frantically flanked.
Every time Zhao Chen distributed the ball, his teammates failed to make a shot. Joe Harris and Dinwiddie's outside shooting looked very unreliable tonight.
Scott's successive substitutions did not have a very good effect.
The Clippers showed the advantages of their overall tacit defense today.
In the first quarter of the game, the score was 22-30, with the Lakers trailing by 8 points.
Zhao Chen played 8 minutes and scored 10 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds. Except for Zhao Chen, his efficiency at other points was very low, and his scoring was also very sporadic.
The Clippers were playing well under Paul's teamwork, with Griffin and DeAndre Jordan making alley-oop dunks.
During the inter-section break, Scott made rotation adjustments.
Zhao Chen, Covington, Tucker, Boozer, and Jokic formed the second team.
The rookies are a bit unable to withstand such a high-level confrontation, and their experience is not enough. They must let the veterans come up and adjust.
The second team led by Zhao Chen has both offense and defense. They also have range and can pass the ball, which can help Zhao Chen open up as much space as possible.
