Zhao Chen's walk back to the locker room was not smooth. Zhao Chen was surrounded by reporters.
Countless microphones and flashlights forced Zhao Chen to stop.
There are quite a few familiar people here, and Zhao Chen won't go there with a dark face.
Zhao Chen also knew how crazy what he did tonight was. If these reporters didn't get interviews, they would probably go to the parking lot to block people.
For Zhao Chen at this stage, Zhao Chen no longer needs to use the media to increase his fame and influence.
Instead, the media should take the initiative to write news and articles about Zhao Chen, so that there will be traffic.
Of course, it wasn't just Zhao Chen who was surrounded by reporters. Players from the two teams next to the court were also surrounded by many reporters.
All of these interviews may become part of a documentary in the future.
But the Lakers' public relations officer showed up quickly, helped Zhao Chen out, and asked reporters to go to the press conference interview hall.
If the interview is conducted in the locker room tunnel, there may be a safety hazard.
........
Courtside.
Thunder player Robertson was interviewed by reporters and was asked about his feelings after watching Zhao Chen score 85 points.
Robertson smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I played against Zhao many times during the Thunder's internal training. I know he has such ability. As long as he opens up, no one can stop him. I probably ended the third quarter. I looked at his score at that time and it seemed to be 62 points. I knew at that time that 80 points would not be difficult for him."
The reporter asked: "Zhao completed a dunk on your head, and then scored 85 points under your defense. How will you deal with your relationship with him in the future?"
Robertson smiled and took out his phone: "Look, I'm going to block this guy!"
On the other side, Adams was asked the same question.
Adams said: "Before this game, we discussed a lot of tactics to defend Zhao. We knew him very well, but this understanding gave us blind confidence that we could guard him. We did not prevent him from shooting away. After he threw away, there was nothing we could do.”
Ibaka said: "We all tried to limit him, but there was no way. He defeated us by himself. I miss the time of fighting with him very much now."
Westbrook: "Next question."
Durant said: "I didn't expect him to be so crazy. When I saw him score 80 points, I was thinking when I could score so many points. Maybe give me two games, or even three games, before I can score so many points." Lots of points.”
Thunder's overall mood was not good, but it did not deny Zhao Chen's power.
Lakers locker room.
The Lakers players all took out their mobile phones and asked Zhao Chen for everything about the game.
Jersey, sneakers, shorts, even Zhao Chen's hair...
They said they wanted to keep it as a souvenir.
Of course, Zhao Chen didn't give it.
Kobe didn't know where he got two bottles of champagne and opened the champagne in the locker room to celebrate.
The night when Zhao Chen scored 85 points was a night worthy of celebration by the entire Lakers team.
At the post-game press conference, 6 to 8 people from the Lakers attended.
Many people came out to brag.
Jokic said: "Tonight was amazing. Every time I turned back and ran over, the boss scored. I remember there were a few rounds where he scored ten points before I even touched the ball... I don't know. How he scored, but that's what happened throughout the game, I just gave him the ball and he got it in."
Jokic got a triple-double tonight, and his assists were the fastest to reach double figures.
Jokic is also very smart, knowing that Zhao Chen has a hot touch and assists quickly.
Randall said: "He has a hot touch and can score at any time. No one can stop him. All of us can only be his audience. Watching him score 85 points is really special. Zhao is my idol now. .”
Boban said: "OMG, I never thought that Zhao and I could score 91 points together, haha. My family must like to see this scene, even though I only scored 6 points, hahaha."
Kobe joked: "Congratulations to him, my brother, I won't say much, after all, this is my sad moment."
Lakers assistant coach Rasheed said: "At 11 o'clock on the night of Labor Day, I received a call from an unknown number. It was Zhao Chen. He asked me if I would like to come to help him train at 5:30 in the morning. I said yes. .I arrived at 5:20 the next day. I thought I was early enough, but Zhao Chen was already sweating profusely. He had already completed warm-up and strength training 10 minutes before our agreed time, and I realized In Zhao Chen’s eyes, 5:30 is 4:30.”
An ESPN reporter asked Zhao Chen: "Zhao, how did it feel after scoring 85 points?"
Zhao Chen said: "85 points sounds crazy, most people would think so. But I am not surprised to score so many points. I am at the peak of my body, there is nothing surprising. I make thousands of jump shots every day , this is not an accident.”
ESPN reporter asked: "What are you proving in this game?"
Zhao Chen shrugged and said: "Many people have always thought that scoring 80 points is a daydream. They think 50 or 60 points are already very good. But I will not set an upper limit for myself. I always think it is possible to score 80 points, 90 points or even 100 points." Points are possible. I think this game is proof that nothing is impossible if we dare to imagine."
The reporter asked: "You were nearly 20 points behind during the game. What did you think at the time?"
Zhao Chen said: "Honestly, I was just immersed in my own world. I didn't high-five or talk to anyone. I felt like I was in a different dimension and I wasn't disturbed by anything. I just Wanting to recover the score, we fell behind by many points in the third quarter. I remember after a LOGO three-pointer, I said to everyone: "Don't give up, we will win this game." "That was indeed the turning point of tonight's game. I worked hard with them to change the direction of the game. When we overtook the score in the fourth quarter, I knew we were going to win this game."

The reporter asked Coach Scott: "Coach, when Zhao Chen scored 81 points, he was much ahead at that time. Have you ever thought about replacing Zhao?"
Lakers head coach Scott said: "No, this is absolutely impossible. Let me put it this way, after the last three quarters with 68 points, Jim got angry at me in the car after the game and said, "Why should I? Replace Zhao Chen? "My answer is: "Because the game is one-sided, and that's not how basketball games are played. What Jim said was, "Yeah, but he might set a record." "My decision drove Jim and Mitch crazy, and I thought if it happened again, I would be fired."
There were too many people and too many voices. The entire press conference interview hall had never been so chaotic!
