Looking at Zhao Chen who was high-spirited and waving to the fans, Kobe remembered the grand occasion when he scored 62 points in three quarters!
December 21, 2005.
Kobe used three quarters to score 62 points, creating one of the Kobe-style miracles.
That day, the Lakers were at Staples to face the Dallas Mavericks.
The 2005-06 season was one of the two seasons where Kobe's scoring was at its peak. Unfortunately, the Mavericks became the background and became a stepping stone for Kobe's legend!
The Mavericks at that time were, like the Cavaliers now, a strong contender for the championship.
But the Lakers played more easily in that game. They led all the way. Kobe's touch was very hot. Kobe played 33 minutes in the game, making 18 of 31 field goals in sports games, shooting 58.1% from the field, 4 of 10 three-pointers, and 25 free throws. He made 22 free throws, scored 62 points, and also scored 8 rebounds and 3 steals.
Kobe still remembers that in that game his efficiency value was as high as +35, that is, when he was on the court, the Lakers beat the Mavericks by 35 points.
What a similar scene.
The Lakers' home court also timely released highlights of Kobe's 62 points in three quarters.
Then, Kobe and Zhao Chen were captured in a split-screen close-up shot, and then Kobe's data was compared with Zhao Chen's.
Comparing Zhao Chen's statistics with Kobe, he has fewer free throws and a lot of three-pointers and two-pointers! !
Such highlights and close-ups sent fans at Staples Center into a state of riot.
"Back then, Kobe fought against the world alone, and the same is true for Zhao Chen this season."
"God, this is another miracle night."
"38 points in the first quarter, 10 points in the second quarter, and 20 points in the third quarter. Zhao Chen dominated the first three quarters."
"I want to know what Kobe is thinking at this moment. He watched Zhao Chen raise his personal scoring record in three quarters to a terrifying level."
"68 points in three quarters, 68 points in three quarters!!"
Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly: "Everyone thought that the climax of tonight was in the first quarter, but we found out in the third quarter that this was the real climax. The Cavaliers' basket was as wide as the ocean for Zhao Chen. Although the Cavaliers strengthened The attack on Zhao Chen ranged from double attack to three-man defense, zone defense to flagrant foul, but Zhao Chen is still as if he has divine help and is unstoppable!!"
Xu Jicheng was also rarely excited: "Friends from the audience, I am honored to witness tonight's game with you. 68 points in the three quarters is a record in Zhao Chen's career. Of course, it is far from Zhao Chen's personal high of 71 points in a regular season. There is still 3 points left, which is not the highest personal scoring record, but we are still proud of it.”
Xu Jicheng's words brought back memories of last season for fans.
Although Zhao Chen scored 68 points, this is still not Zhao Chen's personal high. It's scary!
.......
Amidst the shock, the fourth quarter also started.
Although everyone knows that Zhao Chen will not increase points, they are still praying for Zhao Chen to appear.
The whole audience chanted Zhao Chen's name.
Zhao Chen had to stand up again and again to appease the emotional fans.
His message was clear, he would not appear again.
The fourth quarter is garbage time, and time goes very fast.
There are no pauses of sorts.
In the end, the score was fixed at 95-120, and the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers by 25 points at home.
Zhao Chen's statistics are fixed at 68 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 4 turnovers.
James had a triple-double with 32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, Love had 20 points and 9 rebounds, and Irving had 16 points and 4 assists.
The total scores of the Cavaliers' Big Three are exactly the same as Zhao Chen's three quarter scores.
........
The domestic live broadcast room and the Hupu website went crazy for a whole section.
"Zhao Chen is really going to become a god!"
"James' era has passed, and now the league has ushered in the Zhao Chen era."
"Awesome, Zhao Chen!"
"Zhao Chen is an emotionless killer."
"Zhao Chen didn't think about a triple-double today at all, and there was no need to get a triple-double. Just scoring points was enough."
"We scored 68 points in three quarters. It would be unimaginable if Zhao Chen played the whole game!!"
"Kobe Bryant scored 62 points in three quarters before scoring 81 points. Is Zhao Chen preparing to score 80+ next?"
"I've been kneeling and watching the game, holy shit!"
"This is the first time I saw James and Irving being beaten by Zhao Chen."
On the sidelines, as soon as the game ended, Zhao Chen stood on the technical stage and waved to the fans.
Zhao Chen naturally knew Kobe's record of 62 points in three quarters, so after greeting the fans, Zhao Chen went over and hugged Kobe.
"Hey, I accidentally broke your record." Zhao Chen shrugged at Kobe.
"There is still 81 points, you give it a try." Kobe smiled.
"That's a bit difficult, let's try again next time." Zhao Chen said.
Kobe was very generous.
Kobe has passed the age of competing for the limelight, and he looked at Zhao Chen with joy.
Handing the Lakers to Zhao Chen did not disappoint him.
As the highest-level scorer ever, Kobe knew Zhao Chen's status.
As long as Zhao Chen is in excellent form and plays the entire game, he has a chance to score more than 81 points.
....
Zhao Chen now is different from Zhao Chen before. Zhao Chen is full of confidence in his scoring ability.
When he was a child, Zhao Chen also had the dream of scoring high-scoring matches.
But now, what is a magical match for others is just a little bit special for Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen realized his dream last season, but he is relatively indifferent now.
If necessary, Zhao Chen can also replicate such high-scoring craziness.
Having experienced a championship journey, Zhao Chen knows very well that the personal madness in the regular season is completely different from the playoffs.
He was as strong as Kobe in 2006, but he only made it out of the first round in the playoffs!
What Zhao Chen needs to find now is the rhythm of ultimate personal heroism and teamwork.
Otherwise, if the individual succeeds, the team may fail.
...
More than 20,000 Lakers fans at Staples witnessed Zhao Chen's madness this night!
Far away in New York, the Warriors team just checked into the hotel.
At this time, everyone in the Warriors were discussing Zhao Chen's game in the hall.
Cole also tweeted: "Are you sure this isn't a 2K game?"
Curry also tweeted: "MVP! He's the MVP!! Crazy night."
The shock caused by Zhao Chen was worldwide.
...
After hugging Kobe, Zhao Chen briefly chatted with James.
Later, Zhao Chen was about to return to the locker room, but a reporter stopped Zhao Chen.
Enna immediately changed from a commentator to a reporter and came over with a microphone to interview Zhao Chen on the spot.
Penguin reporters are very smart. If Enna hadn't gone for the interview, Zhao Chen might have rejected her.
This first-hand interview material is so valuable.
Enna is wearing professional attire today, with an OL style.
Enna put on some light makeup on her face, combined with her slender and well-proportioned figure, she looked elegant yet cute.
Seeing Enna, Zhao Chen also had a smile on his tired face.
Enna smiled and tried her best to stay professional: "Zhao Chen, how many points do you think you can get after the fourth quarter?"
Zhao Chen also tried his best to pretend to be serious and replied: "Maybe I can get more than 82 points. I feel that I am in great shape today."
Enna continued to ask: "Coach Scott probably asked you if you wanted to play in the fourth quarter. How did you answer then?"
Zhao Chen said: "I said forget it, just win the game."
Enna asked: "The head coach isn't angry?"
If asked by a reporter, Zhao Chen is not very good at telling the truth and might be polite.
But when Enna asked what was different, Zhao Chen replied: "Angry, he told me that many players have no chance to score 70 or 80 points in their careers, but I just watched such an opportunity leave. "
Enna asked: "Don't you regret it?"
Zhao Chen said: "I don't regret it. I will come back next time and when the team needs me to score such high scores, I will not refuse."
...
...
The live broadcast of Enna's interview with Zhao Chen also caused a lot of discussion among fans.
"When I interviewed Enna from now on, Zhao Chen's enthusiasm in answering questions was different."
"Very genuine, no politeness."
"Zhao Chen is so handsome..."
"Enna is beautiful too."
....
Soon, Enna asked her final question: "How will you celebrate tonight's record?"
As soon as she finished asking, Enna was stunned.
"Tsk!!"
"Tsk!!"
Zhao Chen directly pulled her over, kissed her hard, and kissed her goodbye...
Then Zhao Chen turned around and left, leaving behind the confused cameraman and Penguin staff.
Letting Enna do the interview can indeed ask a lot of questions, but she also has to bear the responsibility for some emergencies.
For example now!
It's live now.
The comments in the live broadcast room were like crazy.
Some fans who didn't understand the relationship between Zhao Chen and Enna or didn't see clearly that Enna was a reporter were asking frantically what was going on.
A majestic international superstar actually did such a thing in front of everyone!
