As far as the Lakers' game against the Raptors is concerned, the media felt that there were not many highlights to dig out.
The media showed little interest.
Isn't Zhao Chen's triple-double and the Lakers' rookie's outstanding performance not the highlights?
Sorry, not really.
The media is used to these breaking points.
Zhao Chen's eight consecutive triple-doubles, breaking Jordan's record, are not worth bragging about.
It would be better to write more about the incident where Zhao Chen flew to save the ball and threw it on Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson.
Scarlett Johansson even tried to pull Zhao Chen up in a friendly way, but then Zhao Chen accidentally touched Scarlett's key part...
"Kakaka!" The media also captured this scene.
After the game, the media focused on the incident of Zhao Chen knocking down Scarlett.
After the game, reporters asked Scarlett how she felt about being knocked down by Zhao Chen. Scarlett smiled evilly: "Zhao is cool. This feeling is very special. I think every girl doesn't mind being knocked down by Zhao Chen."
Scarlett has been in a gap period since she broke up with her last boyfriend.
During last season's finals, she interacted with the Thunder's Big Three on Twitter.
Scarlett has always been considered Durant's goddess...
And today she said this to express her affection for Zhao Chen.
"Scarlett: Zhao Chen makes me feel excited. 》
"Durant came over with a knife. 》
"Scarlett shows her good intentions, is there something wrong with Zhao Chen?" 》
....
The American girl's simplicity left Zhao Chen speechless.
Naturally, there is no way he and Scarlett would have anything to do with each other, so Zhao Chen was quite surprised that something like this happened.
Fans and the media also pay special attention to him. Instead of paying attention to his performance on the court, they pay attention to his gossip.
Seeing that this matter was a hot search topic, Zhao Chen uploaded a photo with Enna and then expressed his confusion.
then.
"Zhao Chen declined Scarlett! 》
"Zhao Chen: Scarlett, we are not suitable. 》
"Durant comes again. 》
The gossip storm is back.
Zhao Chen stopped responding.
Zhao Chen didn't want to focus on these miscellaneous things.
On December 2, the Lakers faced the challenge of the Eagles at home.
Not much media paid attention to the content of this game. They just saw Scarlett Johansson sitting on the sidelines again.
The Hawks are a team that doesn't get much attention. They don't have a super giant, and they don't have many topics. The team's strength is also on the edge of the playoffs.
But the game was intense.
When they met the Lakers, they finally had a high-profile opponent, and the entire Eagles team was very excited.
In the first half of the first quarter, the two sides were in a stalemate.
The Eagles' advantage lies in their average strength at various points, but their disadvantage is that when encountering a stalemate, it is easy for no star to stand up.
In the second half of the first quarter, Zhao Chen and Jokic started to play a pick-and-roll.
Zhao Chen and Jokic played various tricks and coordination.
One move affects the whole body, and the Lakers' offense becomes smoother and smoother...
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 26 to 36, with the Lakers leading by 10 points!
When everyone thought the Lakers would win the game smoothly, the Lakers suddenly misfired in the second quarter, and the Hawks team quickly caught up with the score.
Teague, Millsap, and Horford opened up one after another, and Korver also hit three-pointers from the outside.
The Lakers' rookie fell into a chaotic battle again.
The Lakers have been suppressed by the Hawks on the road.
After the Lakers' consecutive big wins, they were in poor condition.
The rim seemed to be stamped at home.
It was not until the last 1 minute and 11 seconds of the game that Zhao Chen tied the score at 96-96 with a step-back three-pointer.
Then Millsap made a mistake and the Lakers stopped the game!
The Lakers scored 36 points in the first quarter, and they only scored 96 points until the game was almost over. You can imagine how bad the Lakers' state was later.
The low score is due to the Lakers' poor state, and also because the Hawks suppressed the rhythm very low.
The Lakers didn't make any transitions or three-pointers.
During the timeout, Scott assigned all the tactics to Zhao Chen.
Although Zhao Chen's touch is average, Zhao Chen is the key player for the Lakers.
Kobe didn't say anything, just quietly wiped his sweat with a towel.
Whatever the coach wants him to do, he does.
"attack!"
"attack!"
"attack!"
Lakers fans continued to cheer for the Lakers after the game restarted.
The lineups left on the court on both sides at this time are: Zhao Chen, Kobe, Covington, Jokic, and Boban.
The Lakers are also willing to go all out. Since they can't hit the fast break, they play with position and height.
The Hawks' decisive lineup is: Teague, Sefolosha, Korver, Millsap, Horford.
Jokic serves Zhao Chen from the center line.
Zhao Chen went online to organize, and then Zhao Chen gave the ball to Jokic and asked Jokic to organize.
Zhao Chen came to the right side of the free throw line and took a position.
The one guarding Zhao Chen is Sefolosha.
Jokic gave the ball to Zhao Chen, and Boban and Kobe opened the ball on the other side.
Sefolosha was Zhao Chen's teammate in the Thunder. He came to the Hawks in the summer trade.
They are all old acquaintances. Sefolosa is very aware of Zhao Chen's terror and does not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Although Sefolosha was extremely cautious, Zhao Chen still found a gap in Sefolosha's defense and turned around to get rid of him in an instant.
Attacking the basket, Horford's help defense.
Zhao Chen did not give the ball to Boban, but chose to block Horford, and pushed hard on the ground to pull the ball up for a layup.
Horford's block was on the backboard, and Zhao Chen's reverse layup accurately hit the board into the frame!
96 to 98.
"Well done, my teammates had a chance, but Zhao Chen still chose to end it by himself. This is his responsibility!" Barkley shouted.
"Zhao is the same as Kobe Bryant in that he can't pass the key ball," O'Neal said.
Lakers fans cheered and screamed.
But on the court, Zhao Chen did not celebrate after scoring. Instead, he and Kobe immediately put pressure on the Eagles' serve.
The key difference between the Hawks and the Lakers is still that they don't have a superstar at a critical moment.
Millsap just made a mistake. This time Teague didn't give it to Millsap and chose to do it himself.
Horford sets a pick-and-roll for Teague.
Jokic and Zhao Chen switched defenses in a timely manner, and Teague did not have a good opportunity.
Teague gave the ball to Horford, allowing him to hit Zhao Chen in a misplaced position inside.
Horford is very tough, holding the ball high and taking advantage of Zhao Chen's misalignment.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Horford still squeezed in.
But Zhao Chen gave Horford a fight. Horford's layup was a step too slow and was directly knocked down by Boban.
The blocked ball was caught by Zhao Chen.
"Excellent defense, Zhao Chen used tough confrontation to put pressure on Horford."
"Even without Boban, Horford would most likely miss the ball. Of course, Boban's presence has improved the Lakers' interior defensive system. It would be a wrong choice for the Hawks to attack inside."
"There is nothing we can do about it. No one can stand up at critical moments on the outside."
"At critical moments, the two sides compete for superstars, and the Lakers are better in this aspect."
Several commentators in the TNT studio were very experienced in commenting on the situation on the field.
38 seconds.
The ball belongs to the Lakers!
Zhao Chen dribbles the ball forward...
