"It's 40 points. Zhao Chen's scoring ability is really hard to say. Zhao Chen's touch is still great. The Thunder's defensive confidence is showing signs of being shattered by Zhao Chen. Westbrook can't guard Zhao Chen."
"Zhao Chen scored 10 of the 13 points in the third quarter, and his offensive power was extremely domineering."
"Charles, how many points do you think Zhao Chen will score tonight?"
"60 points!"
"Can you be bolder?"
"70 points? It's unlikely. He will be tired later."
"Hey, there's no telling what's going to happen next."
The discussion between the two commentators on the TNT commentary desk is the inner activity of the fans.
Pause back.
The two sides went at it for several consecutive rounds. Zhao Chen's touch was indeed very hot, but it was not to the point where every ball must be scored.
In the end, it was Durant who came out to open up the situation. After Durant continued to feint from the outside, he hit a three-point jumper against the misplaced Jokic.
Jokic rushed as hard as he could, but failed to stop Durant's shot.
"Uh-huh!"
77 to 65.
After scoring the goal, Durant continued to challenge Zhao Chen and put constant pressure on Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen's eyes were cold.
Zhao Chen brought the ball to the frontcourt, and the defender of Zhao Chen changed from Westbrook to Robertson.
Robertson also continued to give Zhao Chen physical contact.
The Lakers players are constantly pushing for space, and they are creating offensive opportunities for Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen gave the ball to Kobe. Kobe was very calm now. He knew that Zhao Chen was the only reliable point for the Lakers to chase points, so he did not mess around. He changed direction and dribbled through, then passed the ball to Zhao Chen.
Kobe's breakthrough really relieved the pressure on Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen got rid of Robertson from the other side and cut inside to get a chance.
Zhao Chen received the pass and hit it at high speed. Ibaka and Adams assisted in defense at the same time and dodged in the air. Zhao Chen took the ball and looped the lever to avoid the blocks of Ibaka and Adams and made a layup easily.
77 to 67
Zhao Chen made a big move on this ball. After completing the layup, Zhao Chen also flew out.
Falling does not cause injury; it is a protective action.
"Three people from the Thunder did not prevent Zhao Chen from scoring. This is not because the Thunder's defense is not good, but because Zhao Chen's offense is too crazy. Zhao Chen's offense just cut off the power for a while, and now he immediately resumed it. .”
"Zhao Chen's offense is also very decisive. If he can't make a shot, he will break out decisively."
Thunder offense.
Durant's offense was finally blocked again.
The defensive strategies of the Lakers and Thunder are different. The Lakers decisively flank Durant.
Durant missed jump shots against Jokic and Kobe.
The rebound was taken by Kobe, who dribbled forward himself. The Thunder's attention was all on Zhao Chen, and Kobe changed directions and rushed in.
Ibaka's interference, Kobe moved the ball up to avoid interference.
But Robertson didn't get stuck. Zhao Chen rushed up behind Robertson, grabbed Kobe's big rebound ball with both hands, and dunked with both hands!
"frame!"
Robertson was dunked by Zhao Chen! !
Robertson was also knocked to the ground by Zhao Chen! !
77 to 69
"Oh oh oh, if the fight continues like this, the friendship between Zhao Chen and his former brothers will be severed."
"Haha, knocking down Adams and dunking on Robertson. I didn't expect to see such a big scene tonight."
"Poor Robertson, I admire this guy the most. He is a young man who focuses on defense and works very hard."
On the court, after completing the dunk, Zhao Chen showed no expression of celebration, with murderous intent in his eyes.
What Zhao Chen cares about now is the score, not personal data.
Robertson struggled to stand up with the help of Adams and Westbrook's hands.
"Being cared about, man, you have to be prepared to fight Zhao." Adams patted Robertson's butt.
"I know..." Robertson replied.
Zhao Chen didn't mean to humiliate people, but that kind of attack was reasonable.
When they were teammates with Zhao Chen before, they were very happy to see Zhao Chen humiliating his opponents in various ways. Now they are playing against Zhao Chen and being humiliated by Zhao Chen feels very strange.
...
...
In the third quarter, Zhao Chen's offense continued one after another.
Breakthrough, three-pointer, step back, fade away, free throw!
Zhao Chen's arsenal is fully open.
The Thunder took turns sending people to defend Zhao Chen, and almost everyone tried to restrict Zhao Chen.
But none of them succeeded. Zhao Chen turned their efforts into green leaves, setting off the brilliance of his section.
The basket is destined to be as vast as the ocean to Zhao Chen.
With 3 minutes and 56 seconds left in the third quarter, Zhao Chen's personal score reached 53 points.
Scott began to make rotation adjustments to other positions of the Lakers, but Zhao Chen still stayed on the court.
Durant and Westbrook are also firing on all cylinders, causing the Lakers to still lag behind. Scott needs Zhao Chen to continue scoring! !
There are 47 seconds left in the third quarter.
Zhao Chen hit Robertson from the high post at the free throw line. After a series of feints, he hit a two-pointer from the high post!
"Uh-huh!"
This two-pointer helped Zhao Chen increase his score to 60 points! !
This long two points also helped the Thunder tie the score, 98-98.
The cheers at Staples Center were loud.
This is not the first time Zhao Chen has scored 60+ in three quarters this season. It has been almost two months since the last time.
Lakers fans kept praying and cheering.
The 60 points this time was different from the last time, when the fourth quarter was garbage time.
This time the Lakers are still in danger of interception, which means Zhao Chen will play in the fourth quarter!
"Oh, Zhao's score has exceeded 60 before the third quarter is over. Will this night be the 80-point night we have been waiting for? Audience friends, please move your stools and pay attention to the next game. ." Barkley shouted.
On the court, after Zhao Chen hit this difficult two-pointer, Durant also wanted to respond to the ball.
Although the Thunder's offensive efficiency in the third quarter was high, it was far inferior to that of the Lakers, resulting in the score being tied.
Durant and Westbrook alternated moves, and Zhao Chen also completed a defense switch with Kobe.
Durant and Zhao Chen formed a one-on-one situation.
The Lakers players and the Thunder players both opened up, allowing these two super giants to play one-on-one.
Many NBA players have been asked who would win in a one-on-one match between Zhao Chen and Durant.
As a result, supporters of both sides were equally divided.
Among the people who think Durant can win, more people think that Zhao Chen is a team player. Although Zhao Chen's personal ability is also very good, Zhao Chen's influence may be in dominance. In terms of personal talent, Zhao Chen Chen has no obvious advantage against Durant.
The group of people who think Zhao Chen won is purely based on scoring and skills. They think Zhao Chen scored higher in a single game in many games, and his personal skills are more comprehensive than Durant's.
Everyone is looking forward to a duel between the two on the court to determine a winner.
Of course, there is no hope of scoring more than Durant individually. Durant's score is also very high, but he is still too far away from Zhao Chen.
