The Lakers won their first two consecutive victories and got off to a perfect start.
In the whole game, Zhao Chen scored 62 points, 14 rebounds, 15 assists, 6 steals, and 4 blocks.
This is Zhao Chen’s two consecutive triple-doubles in the new season, two consecutive games with 60+ points.
During the game, the Kings flanked Zhao Chen too much, and Zhao Chen's number of assists was also very easy.
Zhao Chen became the player with the most points in the first two games of the opening game in NBA history.
In addition to Zhao Chen, Jokic scored a near-triple-double with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.
Kobe had 12 points and 4 assists, UAE had 8 points and 6 rebounds, and Booker had 7 points!
For the Kings, Cousins had 28 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks, Gay had 31 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and Rondo had 11 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds.
The three core players of the Kings played very well, but unfortunately they lost the game in the end.
After the game, the ABC reporter wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with Cousins, but unfortunately, Cousins walked back to the locker room without looking back. Today, Cousins was very unhappy with Zhao Chen's beating.
Seeing Cousins leaving, reporters had to stop Rondo.
"Rajan, this is not the first time you and Zhao have fought. Please tell me how you feel tonight."
Facing reporters' questions, Rondo looked serious.
"I think all point guards are like me, feeling powerless when facing Zhao."
"Zhao is stronger than last season. He has become unstoppable and no one can stop him from scoring."
Although Rondo was unhappy with Zhao Chen, he also recognized Zhao Chen's strength.
"If possible, would you be willing to serve as a substitute for Zhao?" the reporter asked keenly.
The Lakers had obvious problems with their backup point guard in the first two games.
Fans and the media are encouraging the Lakers to initiate a trade so that the Lakers can get a powerful sixth-man point guard.
Rondo is one of the main targets of the media.
After all, the Kings cannot be called a playoff team, and there is no hope of staying with the Kings.
Rondo's organizational and defensive abilities are what championship teams need.
"Of course, who would refuse them now." Rondo said directly that he was willing to go to the Lakers.
After saying that, Rondo immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing: "However, I still have to fulfill my contract in Sacramento. I love the fans here."
Rondo showed his loyalty very quickly.
As for whether he can go to the Lakers, it has to be promoted by the agent behind him.
Rondo's reaction was quick enough, but everyone could see the insincere feeling on Rondo's face.
...........
The Lakers returned to their home court after finishing their away journey.
Next they will face the Dallas Mavericks at home.
Compared with the Mavericks in 2011 and the Mavericks in 2020, the current Mavericks are obviously not worth mentioning. They are still in the rebuilding period and are working hard to find Nowitzki's successor every year. Before that chubby Qiqi arrived, their goals were not very clear.
There is not much suspense about the strength of the Lakers to win against the Mavericks at home.
99 to 129.
The Lakers defeated the Mavericks by 30 points at home.
The Mavericks' highest scorer is Nowitzki.
Nowitzki worked hard and scored 25 points.
Nowitzki's 25 points were far inferior to Zhao Chen's 61 points!
Zhao Chen scored 60+ in his third game.
This is another horrific record in NBA history.
Zhao Chen scored as casually as chopping melons and vegetables.
Of course, the media who are familiar with Zhao Chen do not take such a score too seriously.
Zhao Chen playing in the NBA is like a college student playing a junior high school student. It's not easy.
This is the same thing. If you understand it this way, the record will be easy to understand.
After defeating the Mavericks, the Lakers finally faced their first strong opponent this season.
Lahome Ohio Thunder!
This is Zhao Chen’s former home team!
Like the Lakers, the Thunder also won three consecutive games.
The Thunder also won by an average of 16 points in each of their three games.
Durant and Westbrook are also playing like crazy, both averaging 30+ per game!
Durant and Westbrook seem to be completely free of injuries.
...........
"Guys, don't be careless, they can do anything, I know them, they won't be afraid of us!"
"We're going to kill them all at once!"
In the locker room, Scott was encouraging the Lakers players.
"Don't worry, coach, we have Zhao here, he will not allow the team to lose to the opponent." Kobe was the first to speak out.
"Ha ha!!"
"There's definitely no problem with this game."
The Thunder was Zhao Chen's former home team.
Old players generally have a reluctance to lose to their former teams.
Zhao Chen didn't have any regrets, but he didn't want to lose either.
Except for the first game, the Thunder they encountered last season were not full-team Thunder. Both Durant and Westbrook were injured successively.
The Lakers swept them, and Zhao Chen even scored 85 points on them.
It's obviously not that easy to sweep this season. The Thunder have all returned and have improved.
Visiting team locker room.
"Are you ready? KD!" Westbrook said to Durant at the door of the locker room.
"Well, I'm ready." Durant nodded.
"Then give that guy a good look tonight!" Westbrook gritted his teeth.
Zhao Chen has a good relationship with Westbrook, but on the court, Westbrook always wants to defeat Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen won the championship after leaving the Thunder last season, which made their championship the previous season seem more like a foil for Zhao Chen.
There is a buzz on the Internet that Westbrook and Durant would not have a championship without Zhao Chen.
Both Durant and Westbrook were unhappy with this statement.
The Lakers have won three consecutive games in the beginning, and the Thunder have also won three consecutive games in the beginning.
Durant and Westbrook worked hard to give Zhao Chen a good look.
Players from both teams came out to warm up.
This is a focus battle, and the fans have filled the place early.
"Since Zhao Chen came to the Lakers, almost every home game of the Lakers has been full."
"In addition, the Lakers' jersey sales are very good, and ticket prices have increased by 200% compared to before Zhao Chen came!"
"That Lakers signing was probably one of the most successful signings in the NBA."
"The Thunder had a championship in one season with Zhao Chen, but it is obviously a pity that they did not keep Zhao Chen."
"You have to remember that back then, Zhao Chen, Durant, and Westbrook were the three feared giants in the league. If Zhao Chen had not left the Thunder, there is no doubt that they would have created a dynasty."
"Presti's draft vision is good, but unfortunately his operational ability is not very good."
Barkley and Smith were also sighing when they saw Zhao Chen and Thunder.
Back then, they witnessed Zhao Chen growing up step by step.
Warm-up, appearance ceremony, everything was going on in an orderly manner.
After the appearance ceremony, Zhao Chen came to Lei Lei and greeted and hugged his former acquaintances.
Zhao Chen left Lei Ting, but he did not hate Ting Ting. On the contrary, he still had feelings for Ting Ting.
"Zhao, go back. I won't high-five you until the game is over." Westbrook directly refused Zhao Chen's high-five.
"Okay, I'll give you a high five after I win." Zhao Chen said.
"Then wait until you are dreaming at night." Durant also criticized Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen won the championship, and Durant was very unhappy.
And the most important thing is that Zhao Chen scored 85 points with the Thunder last season!
This forced both Durant and Westbrook to succumb to Zhao Chen!
Zhao Chen left Lei Lei with a smile.
The game will start soon! !
