This season can be said to be the strongest personal data season since the reform of technical statistics in 1985-86.
After this season, the name Zhao Chen will be comparable to the major legendary stars in NBA history.
Zhao Chen averaged over 40 points per game, and then averaged a triple-double per game, leading a team that was aiming for the top pick last season to become strong contenders for the championship.
This is an extremely magical personal season. No one can produce more eye-catching personal data than Zhao Chen in a single regular season.
Before tonight, Zhao Chen had watched one game with a rating of 70+ this season, one game with a rating of 80+, three games with a rating of 60+, and 10 games with a rating of 50+...
What's even more terrifying is that in addition to scoring, Zhao Chen's rebounds and assists were in double figures, which is unprecedented.
Not counting the ancient gods, Zhao Chen is the only player in modern and modern NBA basketball to win both the scoring and assist titles.
This season, Zhao Chen completely conquered Staples Arena.
No matter how many legendary Lakers stars mark this arena, the previous generation of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant has still not retired, but all Lakers fans will admit that the Lakers have ushered in the Zhao Chen era! !
Zhao Chen in the regular season is perfect and invincible!
This kind of Zhao Chen is not something the Pelicans can stop.
Lakers fans cheered Zhao Chen's dunk with respect.
Anthony Davis smashed the ball to the floor in frustration. He tried his best to run back, but Zhao Chen's speed was still too fast.
Pelicans offense.
Holloday dribbles forward.
Holiday has no blind spots when attacking. Whether it is at the basket, mid-range or three-pointer, Holiday is not partial.
In terms of offensive style, Holiday is not kaleidoscope but not bad either.
Holiday's layups are extremely accurate, with an elite shooting percentage of 61.1%....
But facing a top defensive player like Zhao Chen, it's difficult for Hollodi to perform.
Fans and experts will be attracted by Zhao Chen's offensive talent, but as a point guard, Holoday is well aware of Zhao Chen's defensive strength.
Zhao Chen not only leads in scoring and assists, he also leads in steals.
Hollodi protects the ball with his back, and Hollodi waits for Anthony Davis to come in.
Randle squeezed Anthony Davis hard.
Anthony Davis drops down low.
Holloday gave the ball to Gordon, who passed it to Davis.
Randall still didn't stop Anthony from catching the ball. He could only stand still and be ready for Davis to hit him from behind.
After receiving the ball, Davis took the ball and took continuous test steps, and finally chose to shoot a jump shot in the low post!
The mid-range is also Davis' specialty.
"Uh-huh!"
2 to 2.
Davis immediately responded to Zhao Chen's chop!
"The bosses of both teams scored in the first round. This game will be very interesting to watch. I hope the Pelicans will cause some trouble for the Lakers." Barkley shouted.
"Yes, the Lakers' advantage in this game is still Zhao Chen, and the other positions are basically at a disadvantage. Will this be a head-to-head game?" Smith said.
After scoring the goal, Anthony Davis nodded provocatively at Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen is at his peak, and Anthony Davis is also at his peak. The two of them will inevitably collide.
"If you can, you should flank him and don't let him have an easy chance to take action." Zhao Chen said to Randall and Jokic.
Jokic nodded to Randall.
Lakers offense.
Jokic gave Zhao Chen a pick-and-roll outside the three-point line.
Zhao Chen used Jokic's body to find an opening, simply collected the ball from outside the three-point line and jumped on the ground to shoot!
Zhao Chen's shooting body is drifting, but this does not affect his shooting rhythm at all.
"Uh-huh!"
2 to 5.
The cheers came again, the playoffs were getting closer and closer, and Zhao Chen's condition was getting better and better.
But soon, the Pelicans found the Lakers' gap on the outside through three passes and two downs. Gordon took one step outside the three-point line and shot a super long three-pointer! !
"Uh-huh!"
Same hit.
5 to 5.
Influenced by Zhao Chen, three-point shooters have increased their shooting range this season, and Gordon is one of them.
Now Gordon often shoots one step away from the three-point line, and his shots are quite accurate.
Gordon has a 44.8% three-point shooting percentage this season.
Both sides scored in the first two rounds, and the game entered its own rhythm.
The Lakers' defense on the field is not as tight as before, and the rookies still have some habits of defensive irritability and inexperience. These habits can give the Pelicans opportunities on the outside.
Gordon and Anthony Davis both played very comfortably.
Anthony Davis was flanked by the Lakers, but his teammates could all make shots when he passed the ball.
Since Zhao Chen scored the first two goals, his touch has been mediocre, and his teammates are not strong enough either.
After 8 minutes of play, the Pelicans led 22-17.
Scott stopped the game.
After the timeout, the Lakers carried out personnel rotation. Zhao Chen did not leave the game. Boban and Dinwiddie were brought on to replace Harris and Jokic.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen gave the ball to Dinwiddie after halftime, and then went to run.
Defending Zhao Chen is still Holodi.
Holoday's defense is good, but Zhao Chen's offense is stronger.
Zhao Chen first made a fake move and rushed in, attracting Holoday's defensive attention, and then quickly ran out again.
When Holoday chased again, he was firmly blocked by Boban and could not get around.
Zhao Chen received a pass from Dinwiddie and quickly made a three-pointer and then shot decisively!
"Uh-huh!"
22 to 20.
Simply hit the ball, Zhao Chen's off-ball offense becomes increasingly difficult to defend.
Pelicans offense.
Holoday still gave the ball to Anthony Davis inside.
Anthony Davis tried to single out Boban, and Zhao Chen went to double attack.
Anthony Davis' hasty shot was interfered by Boban.
Boban grabbed the rebound and held it firmly in the sky.
Zhao Chen was fouled by Hollodi when he was grabbing a rebound, and the referee's whistle sounded...
After the whistle blew, Anthony Davis wanted to get the ball from Boban's hand, but Boban just raised it with one hand.
Anthony Davis jumped twice in a row without touching it, and the audience burst into laughter.
Anthony Davis himself shook his head and gave up trying to grab the ball, and he laughed too.
“Seeing Anthony Davis like a kid for the first time.”
"Haha, Boban is too high. The Lakers' signings this season are really awesome. Any one of them is good."
"That is, under the leadership of Zhao Chen, the Lakers rookies have made great progress."
Zhao Chui began to spread among the fan base.
"Zhao Chen's double attack forced Anthony to quickly attack Boban. This is obviously not the normal way Anthony Davis plays Boban. Zhao Chen's defensive ability is also very strong." Smith said.
"I think Zhao Chen also has a chance to compete for the best defensive player. At the point guard position, Zhao Chen's defensive efficiency is no lower than Payton's back then. Zhao Chen is the point guard that players in the current league dislike playing against the most. He is a nightmare for opponents on both ends of the floor," Barkley said.
