NBA Drunken Master: I want to play drunk basketball!

The heat of summer fades away with the endless sound of cicadas.

In the Great Western Forum arena in the offseason, you can see a yellow-skinned teenager sweating there every day.

Monica Bellucci is not idle, in addition to sending love bento boxes and fruity wine to Zhou Chen to the stadium every day, she is taking care of a small villa she and Zhou Chen bought in Los Angeles.

Zhou Chen paid part of his rookie salary in advance, Monica asked her family for some money, and the little two finally settled down in Los Angeles.

After completing her studies in her hometown, Monica was ready to develop in Los Angeles.

In the end, she did not give up her dream of being an actor, and it was her dream to enter Hollywood.

Autumn in Los Angeles, in the cool breeze, quietly arrived.

NBA teams have also basically completed the offseason recruitment and building work, and the upcoming preseason is the best stage to prove the team's efforts in the offseason.

Outside the Great Western Forum arena in Los Angeles, a red Ferrari pulled up not far from the door.

Jenny Bass walked out of the car under the envious eyes of everyone.

She is wearing a professional suit and a short skirt that covers her hips, with black silk and heels, which shows off her temperament.

Her wavy blonde hair was naturally tied behind her head.

Now Jenny has vaguely had a bit of a professional agent demeanor.

"Da~da~da!"

With the crisp and pleasant sound of high heels, Jenny walked into the arena.

“Hi！ My little Zhou Zhou, how are you feeling today? Looking

at Zhou Chen, who was sweating and shirtless on the field, Jenny Bass couldn't help but feel a little shaken, and almost forgot to get down to business.

"Hey, why are you driving me again?"

Jenny's eyes widened and she asked, "How do you know?"

"You said your family is so rich?" Why do you keep driving my car out to install it?

"No way, your Ferrari is now the hottest car on the market, and you can't buy it if you have money!" Jenny shrugged helplessly.

Then he quickly changed the topic and said: "Let's get down to business, preseason must be played well, there are already many advertisers looking for me, if your performance is good enough, they are willing to talk to us about cooperation."

Jenny said seriously, but Zhou Chen didn't think so.

What is preseason? It's just a warm-up before the regular season.

Although the coaching staff has promised to make him the team's starting shooting guard, it is estimated that he will not be allowed to play much time in the preseason.

After all, the preseason is mainly about honing newcomers and bench lineups, and main players such as Magic and Abdul-Jabbar will not play at all.

In the past few months, Zhou Chen's performance has completely won the recognition of his teammates and coaches, and strictly speaking, his current position in this team is not a newcomer.

It's just that for the outside world, he is still a top show.

A few days later, the 1984-85 NBA preseason officially began!

The Lakers' first game was against the Rockets, who owned Olajuwon.

You know, the Rockets also drafted Larry Sampson a year before they drafted Olajuwon, which made them the league's most inexplicable Twin Towers lineup.

The Rockets also seemed serious about this preseason game, putting the Twin Towers lineup on the court for a long time.

Olajuwon lived up to expectations as a top pick, performing very well, playing 25 minutes, shooting 8-of-10, cutting 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 blocks.

Rockets insider Larry Sampson played 31 minutes, scoring a game-high 30 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks.

The combination of these two completely destroyed the Lakers' interior line, but this was when Abdul-Jabbar and Rambis did not play.

Zhou Chen also started this game, but only played 9 minutes in the first quarter, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 5 two-pointers, cut 14 points, and also had 3 assists.

Although the score is not very high, Zhou Chen's extremely high efficiency has won praise from the outside world.

However, fans have said that they are not happy at all about this battle between the eyes and the champions, and there are almost no rounds in which the two people directly face each other.

The management and coaching staff of the Lakers, aiming for championships, preseason games and everything is arranged casually, play casually, naturally will not consume too much of the main players, in case of injury will not be worth the loss.

In this preseason game against the Rockets, the Lakers also lost 100-103.

In the second preseason game, the Lakers met the Philadelphia 76ers, their former Finals rivals, with two superstars, Julius Irving and Moses Malone, and also picked Charles Barkley "Fliggy" with the 5th pick in this year's draft.

The game was not unexpected, Malone and Irving were on the sidelines, and Barkley appeared as the team's starting main player, showing great talent, cutting down 28 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists in the game.

It can be said that it shocked the world unexpectedly!

No one could have imagined that this little fat man with the fifth pick would be able to play so well.

But despite this, the protagonist of this game is not Barkley.

It's the No. 2 position of the Lakers, Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen was not limited by playing time in this game, played nearly 40 minutes, cut a game-high 37 points, and also handed out 8 assists and 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks.

His perfect performance on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends proved to the world that the Lakers gave up Byron Scott and traded him, which is the most correct choice!

Meanwhile, in another game that coincided with this preseason, Michael Jordan also made his NBA debut.

Facing the defending champion Celtics without a full roster, young Jordan led the fledgling Bulls to a big victory.

Jordan's personal performance is no less than Zhou Chen, cutting 35 points, 4 assists and 6 rebounds in the game, shooting 51.2% from the field.

The Eye Show and the Tanhua Show, these two shooting guards, known as the proud sons of the sky, completed a statistical explosion in the same day!

This also made many fans start looking forward to the fight between Zhou Chen and Jordan.

In the official NBA newspaper after the game, it was even written with a huge headline: Zhou Chen and Jordan are another set of fateful opponents after the era of "black and white heroes"!

In the subsequent summer league, the Lakers and Bulls achieved good results and eventually reached the finals.

But in the much-anticipated preseason final, Zhou Chen and Jordan seemed to have discussed in advance, and neither of them played!

In the end, the Lakers still won the preseason championship with a deep bench lineup.

Zhou Chen and Jordan both tacitly wanted to save their first encounter for the regular season.

The preseason is short, and the Lakers' current roster is ready for the start of the regular season.

In the upcoming regular season opener, the NBA's official schedule is also a gimmick.

The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, two old wrongdoers, will meet!

After losing to the Devils home to the Green Army in the Finals last season, Angelenos have been haunted.

The entire Lakers team is holding their breath, wanting to complete their revenge in the home opener!

Zhou Chen will also usher in his NBA career debut!
