"Well done!"
"Good shot, keep playing like this."
"Eight points in a row, cool!!"
The fans at the scene were watching the replay on the big screen and roaring, Zhao Chen's scoring ability is too strong.
Zhao Chen seemed to be completely liberated in the second half.
Throwing is a test of a defender's basic skills, and many defenders can use one or two hands.
Zhao Chen didn't use his throws much, but every time he threw them he was very sure.
CCTV commentary booth.
Director Zhang shouted excitedly: "Zhao Chen scored all the Lakers' points in the second half. It can be seen that he is ready to exert his strength. The Thunder put huge pressure on the Lakers in terms of score. Zhao Chen needs to work harder."
Director Xu said: "Yes, it can be seen from the situation on the court that Westbrook and Durant do not want to lose to Zhao Chen. They are attacking with all their strength. Of course, Zhao Chen does not want to lose to them again. Zhao Chen also It’s exerting force.”
Director Zhang said: "There is definitely a friendship between them, but now it's more about overpowering each other. No one wants to lose this game."
Director Xu said: "Yes, the three of them are superstars. They deserved to win last year. If they still join forces, they may create a dynasty, but now that they are separated, they all want to defeat their opponents."
When it comes to Zhao Chen leaving the Thunder, the commentators and fans are still a little sad.
If Zhao Chen had not left Thunder, then all this would have been full of fantasy.
On the sidelines, Scott clapped excitedly. He hoped that Zhao Chen would continue attacking like this. This was what he wanted to see.
When playing against weak teams, the Lakers rookies may be able to play a huge role, but when playing against strong teams, the role played by the rookies is not that big. The rotations of strong teams are very deep, and the rookies want to play. It's very difficult.
Only players like Zhao Chen can play as freely as before. What the Lakers need is for Zhao Chen to maintain such a high-intensity confrontation with the Thunder King.
Zhao Chen's consecutive scoring also put some pressure on the Thunder.
Durant took the ball by himself to a 45-degree position on the right side, and started the offense with the help of Adams' pick-and-roll.
Kobe was blocked and Jokic switched to guard Durant.
Durant continuously changed directions and swayed, found a breakthrough space, and suddenly stopped for a mid-range jump shot.
It will be difficult for Jokic to follow in Durant's footsteps.
Durant also intended to hit Jokic. The rookie blocked him once before, and Durant always remembered it.
"Uh-huh!"
Continue to hit without solution!
74 to 60.
Zhao Chen's offense was very fierce, but the Thunder's offense was not bad either, and they basically responded to Zhao Chen's offense.
"Pinch KD, don't let him rush in and shoot. Others can encourage them to attack appropriately." Zhao Chen emphasized to his teammates.
If Durant is allowed to move and play, it will be difficult for the Lakers to defend.
Jokic and Kobe both nodded.
Jokic took a deep breath. It was too difficult to defend Durant.
Lakers offense.
The Thunder's defensive attention is focused on Zhao Chen. They all know that if they want to prevent the Lakers from reversing, they can only stop Zhao Chen.
Westbrook defends Zhao Chen, and Durant and Robertson come over at any time to attack.
They are nominally defending Zhao Chen alone, but they seem to be flanking him at any time.
Zhao Chen took a step to the right, Robertson quickly moved over, and Zhao Chen immediately moved the ball toward Kobe.
Passing skill activated!
Zhao Chen knows how to play by himself as much as possible, but he will not attack by himself every round. If his teammates have a good opportunity, he will still pass the ball.
In the corner, Kobe received the ball from the three-point line and made an open jump shot!
What a great opportunity.
"Uh-huh!"
Kobe hit the Thunder's defensive changes in a timely manner.
74 to 63.
"Don't double attack, man-to-man!" Coach Brooks on the sidelines was furious.
Letting Kobe leak like this is Robertson's defensive problem.
The tactic is to defend alone, not to attack from a flank.
"I know." Robertson nodded.
This is Zhao Chen's deterrence. Although the Thunder has long emphasized that Westbrook should guard Zhao Chen alone, other players still can't help but be attracted by Zhao Chen's offense.
"Zhao Chen assisted Kobe to attack. The Thunder's defense was too bold and they dared to let Kobe open." Director Zhang shouted.
"Hey, this is the shocking power of Zhao Chen's continuous scoring." Director Xu shouted.
On the court, the Thunder's offense came again.
Westbrook felt good in the second half. He had also completed a one-stop pass on Zhao Chen before. He was very confident in his touch and did not give the ball to Durant.
Westbrook used a scissor step to accelerate and pass Zhao Chen, but he did not completely get rid of Zhao Chen.
Westbrook made an emergency stop at the free throw line in the middle distance, and Zhao Chen interfered from the side.
Westbrook's shooting arc can be seen to be a bit wide.
"frame!"
The basketball hit the front frame very hard.
Zhao Chen turned around and got the rebound.
Westbrook tried to grab an offensive rebound to no avail, and directly fouled Zhao Chen.
"Snapped!"
Westbrook's attack was very ruthless, and he patted Zhao Chen's arm.
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle!
Westbrook signaled that he was impulsive and then backed away.
No fans have ever doubted the relationship between Zhao Chen and Westbrook.
But on the court, the two were merciless as opponents.
Although it hurt a little for Zhao Chen to be slapped by Westbrook like this, Zhao Chen did not take this foul seriously.
This isn't about running people, it's about rushing the ball.
Lakers offense.
This time Zhao Chen gave the ball to Jokic, who organized at the top of the arc.
Kobe went to catch the ball, but Jokic didn't.
Randall provided a screen for Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen used the screen to reverse and run to the right side of the three-point line.
The space opened up, Jokic gave the ball, and Zhao Chen received the ball with a feint.
Westbrook rushed over, and Zhao Chen accelerated his dribbling and passed him directly.
Zhao Chen attacked the inside line and Robertson assisted in defense.
Zhao Chen leaned against Robertson at the free throw line and pulled his crotch back.
Suddenly he kicked off the ground and leaned back!
Reach the highest point, dial the ball and shoot!
Robertson's defense was a step slow.
The basketball shot by Zhao Chen passed over his head.
"Uh-huh!"
74 to 65
A picturesque set of combos.
Zhao Chen assisted his teammates and then followed up his own score, and the point difference reached single digits.
"pause!"
Brooks couldn't help but stop the game.
The Lakers' offense in the second half was too overbearing.
One after another, although the Thunder's attack power is not bad, it still cannot withstand such an offensive.
The cheers at Staples Arena were overwhelming. After scoring 10 points in a row, Zhao Chen scored 40 points tonight, just over 3 minutes before the start of the third quarter.
All Lakers fans began to realize that this was going to be an extraordinary night.
The Thunder put tremendous pressure on the Lakers tonight. Now that the Lakers are still lagging behind, it is basically impossible for Zhao Chen to clock out in the third quarter.
How many points will Zhao Chen score tonight?
60+? Or 70+?
