The 1985-86 season saw the NBA regular-season opener begin with much anticipation.

This year, there is no "yellow-green" war of the past.

In its place were the new New York Knicks and the new Lakers.

Zhou Chen and Ewing met for the first time in the NBA.

After the misery of last year's playoffs, the Lakers' roster has once again completed a shuffle.

Veteran Jamal "Silk" Wilkes was sent to the Clippers by Jerry West.

West's move is all about clearing salary space, after all, there are two big players this season, Worthy and Abdul-Jabbar, who are paid to recover from injuries and cannot play.

Another 34-year-old veteran, Bob McAdu, was sent to the Philadelphia 76ers.

In terms of reinforcements, in addition to the three newcomers of AC Green, Ball and Webb, West also acquired forward Morris Lucas from the Suns through a three-way trade.

Lucas, the peak of the Blazers, is also a player who can average 20 points per game this season, and although his performance has declined in recent seasons, Lucas' experience will help the Lakers a lot.

The starting lineup sent by the Lakers in this game is:

Zhou Chen returns to the shooting guard position, Sparte Webb plays the team's starting point guard

, AC Green plays the starting small forward, Kurt Rambis starts the power forward, and Manute Poll plays the starting center.

Pat Riley was also very bold, sending three rookies in the first game of the new season.

In other teams, non-first-round picks like Boll and Webb can hardly get a chance to start in their rookie season.

Mainly in the pre-match training camp, after countless trials, this lineup is the most suitable supporting lineup for Zhou Chen.

When the Magic announced his retirement, the Lakers had made up their minds to wholeheartedly cultivate a team with Zhou Chen as the core.

In the Knicks, Bernard King, who was still competing with Zhou Chen for the league's scoring title last season, suffered a severe knee ligament tear in the preseason and directly announced the season reimbursement.

But fans in New York don't seem to be sad and depressed.

Because of Bernard King's injury, disguised as their new favorite Ewing added a chance call.

How exaggerated are fans in New York?

The spectacle of the game was evident, with the grandstand at Madison Gardens home for the season opener packed out.

Before the game began, the Knicks announced that tickets for the regular season had been sold out this season, setting a new record for ticket sales in team history.

The entire stadium was overcrowded and tsunami-roaring.

There were even crazy fans chanting the words "Ewing MVP."

Of course, Madison Garden Square has no shortage of invective against Zhou Chen.

Because at the end of last season, Zhou Chen scored a career-high 68 points at Madison, snatched the scoring crown from Bernard King, and completed the season sweep against the Knicks.

Since that game, Zhou Chen has been the target of abuse by New York fans.

Ugly and noisy sounds such as "Fa Ke Zhou Chen" and "Zhou Chen Love Has a Law" appeared endlessly in Zhou Chen's ears.

But how could Zhou Chen, who has already experienced the winds and waves of the playoffs, be affected by this sound?

At this moment, he is sitting on the bench of the team, drinking wine with a cold expression, and from time to time making a "toast" gesture towards the New York audience.

Forceful.

The sound of abuse and noise became louder and louder, and Zhou Chen enjoyed this sound more and more.

Of course, he disdained to be real with these fans, and could only use his performance on the field to convince them and shut them up.

The game began, and the starters on both sides took off their training clothes and stepped onto the field one after another.

The Knicks' starting lineup is: point guard Roy Sparrow, quarterback: Gerard Wilkins, small forward: Louis Orr, power forward: Pat Cummings, center: Patrick Ewing.

In addition to Cummings being an old face seen last season, the Knicks' roster this season has also undergone a big purge.

Looking at the "cute height difference" between Boll and Webb on the Lakers, the commentary at the home of New York couldn't help but ridicule: "

Look, the circus in Los Angeles is going to perform."

It caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

The first time they appeared on the stage of the competition, they were so ridiculed that both Boll and Webb were a little confused, standing there a little overwhelmed.

Zhou Chen walked over, pulled the two to his side, put one hand on a person's shoulder, and said loudly:

"Brothers, get excited, let the New Yorkers feel your horror later!"

"Don't be nervous, there I am, look at me when you get on the field."

Zhou Chen's words made the two young people who were nervous for the first time relax a lot.

With the referee's whistle, the opening match between New York and Los Angeles officially begins!

Boll, who has the first arm span in 2.59 meters and NBA history, helped the Lakers win the ball with a light tiptoe and effortlessly!

Little Webb is fast with the ball!

The speed is like the wind, and in the NBA game full of people, his height is really not dominant.

But he moves freely through the crowd and is extremely flexible.

After tactical cooperation and passing the ball, Zhou Chen got rid of the entanglement of his opponent and came to a 45-degree angle to catch the ball!

The location he knows best!

Knicks forward Cummings came out to defend Zhou Chen!

Although Zhou Chen's scoring ability has been recognized by the whole league and even the world, and the infamous "Zhou Chen's Law" was born, no one will use that dirty defensive method in the first game of the regular season.

That would be too draining in the regular season.

Zhou Chen faced Cummings' defense, a tentative step of a feint, attracting the opponent's defensive center of gravity!

This is followed by a big change of hands and a crotch dribbling!

I saw Cummings, who was 2.06 meters tall, stumbling to the ground in front of everyone!

"Even buy Ka!"

"This speed is too fast, New York should not send Cummings to defend Zhou Chen!"

Everyone was shocked, but before they could regain their calm, the next scene was even more shocking!

After Zhou Chen shook Cummings, he did not immediately choose to shoot, but pretended to make a breakthrough move!

After Cummings came out, he reacted quite quickly, and immediately stood up and wanted to chase!

But Zhou Chen changed hands again and crossed direction, transferring the ball to the other side!

Cummings fell again!

One round, knock the same person down twice!

Zhou Chen's operation instantly made Madison Garden Square exclaim!

"It seems that the injuries in the playoffs have no impact on this young man at all!"

"I didn't play all offseason, which really suffocated Zhou Chen!"

At the same time, on the "Voice of the Lakers" TV station in Los Angeles, the famous commentator Zick Hearn frantically praised Zhou Chen's performance.

He has been a die-hard Lakers fan for more than a decade, and this season he returned to Los Angeles TV to comment, and Zhou Chen's performance really impressed him.
