On June 29, 2012, Anthony Davis was selected by the New Orleans Hornets with the first overall pick in the NBA draft, becoming the top pick in the NBA draft.
On November 1, in his first NBA game, the Hornets led by No. 1 pick Anthony Davis met the Spurs led by "old No. 1 pick" Duncan. Although they lost in the end, Anthony Davis scored 21 points in the game. His performance of scoring 7 rebounds was still recognized by many people.
"Hi, Zhao, hello. Are you coming to take a rest?" Anthony Davis greeted Zhao Chen proactively after seeing him.
"Well, it's a bit tiring to deal with them." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"Me too, I don't like this kind of situation." Anthony Davis said bluntly.
Other All-Star players think about investments and so on, but Anthony Davis doesn't think about that.
"Brother, your performance on the court recently has been great." Zhao Chen took the initiative to praise the thick-browed brother.
Davis averaged 33 points, 17 rebounds and 4 blocks in the past week.
If it weren't for Zhao Chen's 5 consecutive 60+ triple-doubles, he would have been the best player of the week.
"No matter how good he is, it's useless. I can't help the team win like you." Anthony Davis said helplessly.
The Pelicans are not yet a playoff team, which makes Davis often the king of empty cuts.
"Don't be discouraged. You will win in the future. After all, you have defeated us before." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
The Lakers' winning streak fell to the Pelicans.
"That's because you're not here. If you were there, we wouldn't have a chance." Davis is very aware of the Pelicans' current situation.
The two exchanged simple polite greetings.
After chatting for about 5 minutes, Anthony Davis said: "Zhao, can you tell me how I can help the team win?"
Brother Nongmei looked at Zhao Chen with longing eyes.
Anthony Davis admires Zhao Chen very much. He thinks Zhao Chen is a very good winner.
Zhao Chen thought for a while and smiled: "Winning is not difficult, you have to find a group of strong teammates."
Zhao Chen himself is very strong, but his teammates will not hold him back. This is the key to winning the championship.
Anthony Davis said: "I have asked the management many times, but their operation always disappoints me."
The Pelicans owner's focus is obviously not on the NBA. He cares more about another league of his own, which has led to the Pelicans' management being very chaotic and incompetent.
Pelicans, Kings, Timberwolves
Zhao Chen feels that the management of these three teams are the worst.
Maybe some fans can manage the team better than their management, and their operational level is amazing.
Let’s not even mention the Kings and Timberwolves, they are just a bunch of idiots.
As far as the Pelicans are concerned, Anthony Davis has entered the league since 2012, but the Pelicans management has failed to find him a reliable helper in the past four years.
As a result, Brother Nongmei's time was wasted for several years.
Zhao Chen then said: "Maybe you can try changing to another team. Aren't you still in the last year of your rookie period?"
Anthony Davis smiled bitterly and said: "I just renewed my contract with the team in advance last year, for 145 million in five years."
Zhao Chen said: "I'm envious...he has so much money and is taller than me."
Davis said: "If you are willing to sign a maximum salary, it will not be less than mine. Everyone knows this."
Zhao Chen shrugged and said, "I don't want to sign a long-term contract."
Davis said: "If I had known I would have followed your example."
Zhao Chen said: "Don't, don't, don't. The long-term contract is guaranteed. You can't be like me. You have a history of injuries."
Davis said: "Zhao, the topic is off topic. Really, tell me, how can I win?"
Davis' eyes were full of longing. He was confused. He had been searching for the answer to this question for a long time.
Zhao Chen said: "The simplest way."
Davis asked, "In what way?"
Zhao Chen said: "Come to the Lakers, I will help you win the championship!!"
After hearing these words, Anthony Davis's eyes gradually brightened!
If he partners with Zhao Chen, Anthony Davis can already imagine the horror of the two joining forces.
Davis said: "Is this a formal invitation?"
Zhao Chen said: "You can understand it as yes."
The look in Zhao Chen's eyes didn't look like he was joking.
Davis thought for a while and then nodded: "I will seriously consider it and we will keep in communication."
Zhao Chen said: "OK!"
If it weren't for contract issues, Zhao Chen thinks Anthony Davis might have come directly.
The Lakers can give him everything he hopes for.
.......
Anthony Davis is one of the superstar teammates that Zhao Chen does not exclude.
Zhao Chen didn't think this was a group fight.
Zhao Chen himself is the thigh, and this is just letting his thighs be hugged by others.
After all, Durant had a heated chat with Curry, Thompson, and Green, and he had to deal with it.
Zhao Chen acts steadily, and now he wants to form a team to suppress the entire alliance! !
Anthony Davis's personality and style of play are very suitable for the Lakers. If he comes, Zhao Chen thinks the Dynasty will be very relaxed.
The Lakers may be able to attack the Celtics' epic consecutive championship.
Zhao Chen also didn't expect that tonight's harvest would be so great.
Sure enough, the All-Star Weekend will give many All-Stars extra gains.
.........
Starting from the morning after arriving in Toronto, Zhao Chen's schedule was full.
As the All-Star vote king, Zhao Chen will attend many All-Star related activities.
"Basketball Carnival!"
"Public wall painting and sanitation"
"Teaching kids basketball enlightenment knowledge"
"All kinds of interviews."
Zhao Chen didn't know how much he had done. Anyway, he was just like a tool man being led by the alliance staff to carry out one job after another.
Zhao Chen almost smiled crookedly...
This is not a happy smile, but a business smile.
Zhao Chen didn't like these occasions either, but he knew it was impossible to avoid them, so he could only participate as enthusiastically as possible.
On the afternoon of February 14, the 2016 Toronto All-Star Weekend took the lead in the Celebrity Challenge. The Canadian team defeated the United States 74-63.
The head coaches of both teams are respectively the famous rapper Drake and the American comedian Kevin Hart.
According to the list announced by the celebrity charity game, the Canadian star team led by Drake and Nash will include: NBA two-time scoring champion Tracy McGrady, former Lakers Triple Crown member Rick Fox, and tennis player Milos Raunik. Members of the American star team led by Kevin Hart will include: Chauncey Billups, "Bugs" Bogues, famous host Nick Cannon, and Anthony Anderson.
This is a game that is more about entertainment than basketball.
Similarly, that night, the 2016 NBA All-Star Rookie Game ended. In the end, the American Rookie Team defeated the World Rookie Team 157-154.
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Zach LaVine played 23 minutes, scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists on 13 of 20 shots, and was elected the All-Star Rookie Game MVP...
It's Valentine's Day. Zhao Chen doesn't have any games, and has also put down some social activities, and watches the game with Enna on the sidelines.
The two show off their affection from time to time, kissing each other during KISS moments, etc. to attract attention.
Rookies will also look at Zhao Chen when they perform wonderfully on the court from time to time.
Zhao Chen is the target that countless rookies are eager to surpass.
As a rookie, Zhao Chen set a series of records that are difficult for these rookies to achieve.
Before these rookies entered the league, they felt that after entering the league, they could attract attention with various magical performances like Zhao Chen.
As a result, the reality is very cruel. Most rookies' scoring averages are still in single digits...between rotation and non-rotation.
After entering the NBA, all rookies know how awesome Zhao Chen was back then! !
Finals MVP in his rookie season!
This is a miracle!
Zhao Chen is putting pressure on all rookies.
