After Bird came on the field, Zhou Chen suddenly felt a strange atmosphere from the field.
Not from the outside, but from the pitch.
From the time I just committed the foul, it was weird.
In the next few offensive rounds, as soon as Bird took the ball, Zhou Chen and other defenders just leaned in, and they were fouled by the referee.
In the remaining three rounds of the second quarter, Zhou Chen was fouled by Byrd for 3 consecutive shooting fouls!
Bird also scored 8 points through free throws!
Lakers coach Riley was also very angry when he saw this situation on the court, constantly accusing the referee of shameless behavior.
Because judging from just a few defensive rounds, Zhou Chen's defensive actions have not increased.
It is similar to the intensity of the first quarter, and the blame is on the referee's penalty scale.
Unexpectedly, he blew out a relatively rare "body hair whistle" in this era!
Zhou Chen was fouled 3 times for no reason!
In the second quarter, the Lakers suddenly muted when they took the lead.
The Celtics fought to catch up, blossom across the board, and tie or even overtake the score!
At halftime, the Celtics still led by 7 points 61-54!
At halftime, Bird's expression remained gloomy, although he scored eight points in the second quarter, breaking his scoring drought.
He was not embarrassed by Zhou Chen's "clean sheet", but he always felt that something was wrong.
When passing through the players' tunnel, when Bird met Auerbach, the general manager of the Greenshirts, he instantly understood everything!
"Don't worry, Larry, I've already said hello to the referee."
"You foul that kid as much as you want, and it won't be long before the second half is going to be off!"
"What's the use of being strong in personal ability? Can't play, everything is in vain!
Auerbach's words suddenly woke up Byrd!
He never expected that their team, as the defending champions, would use such a drastic means to bribe the referee?
Although Bird is a bit cheap, he still has a personal backbone.
When he heard Auerbach say hello to the referee, he immediately felt great humiliation.
He had difficulty accepting, it was difficult to accept everything he had just heard, he did not understand what Auerbach's "greeting" meant?
Is it a simple verbal greeting? Or direct bribery, buy-through?
This made Bird more aware of Zhou Chen's horror, and he was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect this young man's growth rate to be so fast!
"Hehe, can I face that kid and can only rely on the referee to score?"
After the shock just now, Bird had even silently accepted the fact that Zhou Chen's personal ability was stronger than him in his heart!
After the start of the second half, in order to protest Auerbach's behavior, Bird directly refused to play!
Neither Zhou Chen nor the Lakers knew what was going on!
Obviously, the Celtics' lead is not too big, at least not big enough to let Bird rest!
But why didn't the Celtics let Bird play?
The audience at Boston's North Shore Garden home stadium also began to worry!
Watch the point difference on the court slowly be smoothed out by the Lakers!
The fans were chanting things like "We want Bird to play!"
It's just that throughout the second half of the game, Bird actually sat quietly on the bench, without saying a word!
No communication with coaches and teammates!
In this way, when the game was over, Bird's score was also stuck at 8 points!
Scoring for the first time in your career without a double!
It was also the first game in Larry Bird's career so far that no athletic battle scored!
Under the leadership of Zhou Chen, the Lakers finally achieved a reversal in the second half!
Defeated Boston Celtics 112-110!
While ending his opponent's 10-game winning streak, he also ended his 5-game losing streak!
After the game, Bird left without any media interviews!
The next day, the Celtics' official media didn't give any explanation!
The reason why Bird scored 8 points in a single game and refused to play in the second half has forever become a big mystery in the NBA!
It's just that this is just an ordinary regular season game, and after many years, people slowly forget the process of this game.
People only remember that Bird scored no sports goals under Zhou Chen's defense, and scored 8 points with only free throws!
As for why Bird didn't play in the second half, the truth of this matter has forever sunk into the long river of NBA history.
After winning against the Celtics, the Lakers had an easy schedule ahead.
However, the team's form has remained up and down.
After returning to his home court in Los Angeles, Zhou Chen led the Lakers to victory over the Kings and Suns respectively, ushering in a three-game winning streak.
It's just that in the away game against the Nuggets, the Lakers once again exposed their tactical shortcomings on the offensive end, and were killed by the Nuggets' ruthless fast attack.
The Lakers' winning streak came to an abrupt end.
In the first month of the regular season, the Lakers only achieved a 10-8 record, ranking 5th in the West!
This season's Lakers are destined to be unable to replicate the glory of last season.
Management has also set the coaching staff and players a goal this season to keep their playoff spots and do their best to avoid injuries.
At the end of the season, James Worthy and Abdul-Jabbar returned from injury, and the Lakers still have hope to make a big show in the playoffs.
In the first month of the regular season, Zhou Chen averaged 39.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 9.6 assists, 3.5 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, shooting 54.7% from the field and 49.7% from three-point range.
In terms of points per game and three-point shooting percentage, it is firmly ranked first in the league!
Even so, Zhou Chen still rubbed shoulders with the best players in the West!
The NBA officially named the best player in the West in the first month of the season to Olajuwon of the Houston Rockets.
He averaged 28.7 points, 15.6 rebounds and 5.4 blocks per game, leading the Rockets to the first record in the West.
In the East, Michael Jordan was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month with an average of 36.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, and under his leadership, the Bulls have achieved a 16-2 record since the start of the game, second only to the Celtics, ranking second in the league!
In just one season, the top three picks in '84 have become the mainstay of the league.
The debate about Zhou Chen and Jordan who is the strongest guard in the league has begun!
After the first month of play, the Lakers took a short break of a few days.
Their first game in November will be home to the Houston Rockets, the number one in the West!
The Rockets, who eliminated the Lakers last season, have also brought the two teams to the table this season.
Zhou Chen and Olajuwon, the showdown between Pang Eye and Zhuangyuan.
The new hatred and old hatred of the playoffs are counted together.
