For the Cavaliers, they experienced a nightmare first half.
In the first quarter, Zhao Chen scored 38 points. In the second quarter, a three-person attack was launched and Zhao Chen still scored 10 points.
This is the first time in their career that they have lost so many points to one person in half a game.
Not only that, they fell behind by 23 points at halftime.
This is the rhythm of garbage time approaching halftime.
Cavaliers locker room.
David Blatt continued to emphasize defense against Zhao Chen.
Losing is already a high probability event, and the most important thing now is not to let Zhao Chen score some magical record.
As for the Lakers, the overall atmosphere was great, and Kobe even encouraged Zhao Chen to break his scoring record of 62 points in three quarters.
As soon as Kobe opened his mouth, the Lakers players echoed his words.
Jokic said: "Boss, I can't wait to see how the media brags about you. What you do is crazy."
Clarkson also said: "You are my idol."
Clarkson is not even convinced by Kobe now, but he is convinced by Zhao Chen.
Randall also said with envy: "I really hope I'm not injured, otherwise I would have to do the pick-and-roll."
Grant said: "My boss and I scored 50 points together at halftime!"
Jokic smiled and said: "Actually, you only get 2 points."
Everyone laughed.
Although there is some competition among the Lakers' rookies, most of it is healthy competition.
Everyone has a guaranteed contract, and their playing time and tactical status depend on their abilities.
Zhao Chen didn't respond to too many questions about records, he just smiled and watched the rookies having fun.
"You don't care about the record, do you?" Kobe asked.
"I don't care, I will try to score, but not above the interests of the team." Zhao Chen said.
As long as you are a player, you will be interested in records. It just depends on how records are ranked with wins.
Kobe nodded. Zhao Chen had the same personality as him. He was extremely arrogant and thought that such a record would come easily.
........
TNT studios.
Highlights of Zhao Chen's first half were being replayed on the big screen.
Barkley also took the data sheet and said in surprise: "We are witnessing a miracle, Zhao scored 48 points in halftime!"
Kenny Smith said: "Although Zhao has scored a lot of triple-doubles, I always feel that this guy is a scorer at heart."
Barkley said: "If he wears the No. 8 jersey instead of the No. 10 jersey, then I think this guy is Kobe. The two are really alike."
Smith said: "When you say it, I feel like it. In short, LeBron is in trouble tonight. Now Zhao can match the offensive power of Kobe in 2006. James will face such a peak attacker. Watch the second half of the game. Do the Cavaliers have a chance to get the game back?"
.......
Domestic live broadcast bars and Hupu forums are now full of Zhao Chui's remarks.
"Zhao Chen, the top scorer in the NBA!"
"The God of Basketball is nothing more than that."
"My emperor was actually hung up and beaten. I am convinced."
"No need to say, no need to say, Zhao Chen is awesome."
"With 48 points at halftime, Zhao Chen's scoring is really as easy as eating and drinking."
"Lao Zhan can't beat Zhao Chen even if he's in a group, hahaha."
"Zhao Chen: Come on, I'll challenge three!"
"How to brag? It can only be summed up by one person defeating the knight."
"In a word, Zhao Chen is too strong."
"Zhao Chen actually proved tonight's specialness in the first quarter."
"I hope the Cavaliers will work hard and let Zhao Chen play for four quarters. I am looking forward to whether Zhao Chen will score 81 points or higher after playing for four quarters."
"Compared with Zhao Chen now and Kobe Bryant in 2006, who has better scoring ability?"
"The knight was unlucky and encountered Zhao Chen's explosive moment."
"Have you noticed that Zhao Chen is always very excited when he meets James?"
"I think so too. Zhao Chen seems to be particularly energetic when it comes to beating James.",
"There seems to be an Asian Championship this year. I don't know if Zhao Chen will play. I want to see Zhao Chen put on the national team jersey."
"Forget about the Asian Championships, the Rio Olympics will be next year, and Zhao Chen will be 100% ready to compete then."
....
....
Amid cheers from the crowd, the battle continued in the third quarter.
Staples fans, commentators, and countless fans watching the game at home and school are all looking forward to Zhao Chen's continued rage tonight to see how far Zhao Chen's craziness can reach.
Will this be Zhao Chen's scoring night?
Many fans are cheering for the Cavaliers. They hope that our emperor can persist longer, and it is best to chase points and let Zhao Chen feel a little pressure.
"LeBron, come on!"
"LeBron, come on!"
"LeBron, come on!"
The Staples Arena eerily heard the sounds of cheering for James.
James' face was dark and swarthy.
This was a great ridicule to him.
Since when has he been on the court just to highlight his opponent's greatness?
At the beginning of the third quarter, James stepped back and shot a three-pointer from a 45-degree position on the right side!
James seems to want to fulfill the hopes of Lakers fans.
50 to 70.
It's still too early in the game, and James really wants to work hard.
Lakers offense.
Jokic sent the ball to Zhao Chen.
The Lakers' lineup is still the starting lineup, and the starting lineup's tactics are still to provide Zhao Chen with the ball.
Scott was willing to risk everything tonight. He just wanted to see how crazy Zhao Chen could get.
Scott's character is like this. He will not refuse to show his super personal ability. The better his personal ability is, the happier he will be.
As long as the super giant ability is strong enough, you can throw it at will.
Of course, the Super Giants must be responsible for their own actions. If they lose, the head coach will also criticize them.
Zhao Chen took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. After halftime, James and JR started to attack again.
Zhao Chen quickly gave the ball to Jokic at the top of the key.
Zhao Chen began to move away without the ball.
Jokic pretended to shoot from outside the three-point line and made an extremely fake move. No one in the Cavaliers liked him.
The Cavaliers are eager for Jokic to shoot...
Let Jokic shoot the ball and let Zhao Chen have a stronger offense.
Jokic gave the ball to Covington, who came over to receive the ball, and then went to set a screen for Zhao Chen.
Jokic's generous frame still helped Zhao Chen, and James and JR colleagues were delayed.
Covington also gave the ball very quickly. When Zhao Chen had a chance, he immediately gave it to Zhao Chen.
As soon as Zhao Chen got the ball, Mozgov quickly saved it.
The Cavaliers all have one idea at the moment, which is to prevent Zhao Chen from scoring.
Zhao Chen easily knocked Mozgov away.
Break in, collect the ball and lower the tempo!
Stop and shoot steadily from mid-range!
"Uh-huh!"
50 to 72.
Zhao Chen has various attack methods, which is the reason why it is difficult for him to guard against him.
"Zhao,,,,Chen" the Lakers' DJ shouted at the top of his lungs.
50 points!
Zhao Chen's score reached 50!
The fans were in a commotion again.
After scoring the goal, Zhao Chen looked calm and high-fived his teammates who were returning to defense.
Zhao Chen's hand felt hot tonight, very, very hot.
Zhao Chen was a little numb when he scored his own goals.
