NBA Drunken Master: I want to play drunk basketball!

Zhou Chen used a perfect debut performance of 60 points to completely break the doubtful remarks before the game.

Let the invincible Celtics usher in a "black start".

Let the megalomaniacal Bird pay the price.

Before the start of the regular season, fans were still discussing who Zhou Chen and Michael Cooper would be the answer to the Lakers' No. 2 position.

Now the results are obvious.

After the opener, Zhou Chen officially secured the position of the Lakers' starting shooting guard.

That explosive, extremely ornamental scoring ability, if the coaching staff wants to press Zhou Chen on the bench, I am afraid that the management will not agree.

It turns out that Zhou Chen can not only play the ball to attack, but also perfectly integrate into the Lakers system and contribute his energy on the off-ball end.

The Lakers need a player like him, who stands up at key moments and uses unsolvable individual singles offense to stabilize the output for the team.

Although Magic Johnson controls the ball of the Lakers, his single-play scoring ability is indeed limited, and he is not a player who focuses on individual offense, but a playmaker who makes the team better.

Compared with players such as Bird, Zhou Chen, and Jordan, he is not essentially the same type.

Although the veteran Abdul-Jabbar's hooking skills have become more and more proficient and perfect, his age is as high as 38 years old, and it is difficult to maintain high physical strength and willpower throughout the game.

Zhou Chen's appearance is exactly the outside answer the Lakers need.

In the second game of the regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers visited the "Big Apple" and easily defeated the New York Knicks 108-87.

In this game, Zhou Chen played only 25 minutes, and he bombed 30 points, 5 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals, which was more than the opener.

It's just that the New York Knicks are iron-hearted this season and are ready to compete for Ewing in next year's draft.

So the Lakers established a huge lead early from the beginning, and the main players basically played less than three quarters and watched from the sidelines.

In the third game of the regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers continued their crusade journey.

Facing Don Nelson's Milwaukee Bucks on the road, the Lakers trailed by 25 points in the first half, and in the second half they caught up, completing a shocking comeback under the outstanding play of Magic Johnson and Zhou Chen, and finally won 120-112 to win the opening three consecutive games.

In this game, Magic Johnson played the strength of the leader of the Lakers, shooting 12 of 15 from the field, cutting 28 points while also giving out 20 assists, setting a new record for individual assists in a single game since the start of the season.

Zhou Chen still scored a team-high score, shooting 13-of-20 from the field and contributing 29 points, while also scoring three steals and four assists.

The last game of the first week of the tournament was played on the weekend.

The Lakers returned to their home court and welcomed the Utah Jazz, rivals in the West.

At this time, the biggest star of the Jazz team was a shooting guard named Adrian Dantley, who was 1.96 meters tall but had a strong scoring explosiveness.

Last season, he also won the regular season scoring championship with an average of 30.6 points per game.

His technique is characterized by extremely accurate shooting, which is unmatched, shooting 54% from the field, making it hard to imagine that this is the work of an outside player.

This season, Dantley also welcomed a small white point guard of 1.85 meters.

It was the future famous John Stockton.

However, Stockton in his rookie season has yet to show his talent, averaging only 16 minutes per game, only 5.5 points and 4.9 assists, and not even ranking in the top 10 in the team's playing time.

However, this is a very normal phenomenon, not every rookie is like Zhou Chen and Jordan, has super combat power, can integrate into the team in a short period of time.

The Jazz are also a strong team that has been able to secure a playoff spot in the West for many years, and naturally will not develop a mediocre 16-pick rookie from the beginning.

Directly against the scoring king of last season, Zhou Chen also played the spirit of twelve points in this game.

After the game began, Zhou Chen faced Dantley's opposing defense and directly used a mid-range jump shot to help the Lakers open the scoring.

Then Mark Eaton, known as the original giant of the NBA, defended Abdul-Jabbar under the basket and easily scored the basket.

Different from the usual style of play, this game the Jazz did not focus on Dantley defensively, but constantly played for Mark Eaton, who is 2.24 meters tall inside.

Eaton has only been in the league for 3 seasons, more than 10 years younger than Abdul-Jabbar, so he has the advantage in the face of the sky hook that cannot jump.

When Abdul-Jabbar couldn't limit Mark Eaton's play, the Lakers' interior was completely down.

The Jazz quickly took a double-digit lead in the first half.

After the start of the second half, the Jazz's outside star Dantley finally began to shine, shooting and breaking through continuously, hitting the basket, constantly causing Lambis and Abdul-Jabbar to foul and continue to widen the game gap.

When the Lakers were in crisis, it was ultimately the trident on the outside that played a role.

Under the tandem of the magicians, Zhou Chen and Worthy, two players from North Carolina, constantly tear the opponent's defense from the flank!

Worthy's open cut running position and Zhou Chen's mid- and long-range catch jumper felt hot and helped the Lakers stabilize the game point difference.

By the end of the third quarter, Zhou Chen had already scored 28 points, and Worthy was not to be outdone, cutting a season-high 22 points.

The Magician's number of assists has reached 18!

However, the Lakers still trailed their opponents 92-99.

In the final quarter, Zhou Chen began to exert strength on the defensive end, and he used his abundant physical advantage and death to wrap the defense, which greatly limited the play of the opposing leading scorer Dantley.

At both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, Zhou Chen became the most energetic player, and the Lakers began to turn the tide of the game step by step.

At the point guard position, Jazz starting point guard Ricky Green was completely teased by Magic Johnson.

He played less than halfway through the fourth quarter and left the court.

John Stockton was appointed in the final minute, and although he contributed 10 points and 6 assists, he still couldn't change the Jazz's decline.

In the final quarter, the Lakers scored 45 points in a single quarter and finally defeated the Utah Jazz 137-129, achieving their fourth straight win since the first week of the game.

Temporarily ranked first in the league's record rankings.

After the game, when Zhou Chen and Stockton hugged and greeted, they did not forget to encourage him: "Keep going, when you meet the right person, your talent will be recognized by the entire NBA." The

"right person" that Zhou Chen said is naturally Carl Malone who will participate in the draft next year, and the two will join forces to contribute the most beautiful piece of history in Salt Lake City.

Throughout the game, Zhou Chen made 28 shots, hit 18 goals, and scored a game-high 42 points, while also scoring 5 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks.

Last season's scoring champion, Dantley, scored just 22 points and shot a paltry 33.4 percent from the field.

This is inseparable from Zhou Chen's active defense.

In this game, Zhou Chen's old senior Worthy, also regarded as an iron tree blooming, cutting the second highest 38 points in the game, shooting 65.7%, but compared to Zhou Chen, Worthy's offensive scoring is mostly completed by cutting to the three-second zone without the ball.

The Magic set a new assist high this season, contributing 16 points, 21 assists and 10 rebounds to get his first triple-double since the start of the season.

After the game, many professional media commentators said that Zhou Chen's appearance not only made up for the last shortcoming of the Lakers, but also shared great pressure on the Magic, allowing him to concentrate more on organizing the entire team.

At this point, the first week of the 1984-85 NBA regular season came to an end.

Zhou Chen started all four games, averaging 40.2 points, 4.6 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 4.8 steals and 2.6 blocks per game.

In the league's first week of scoring and steals, Zhou Chen rode the dust, and even as a shooting guard, his average blocks per game ranked in the top five in the league.

ESPN even hailed Zhou Chen as the next epoch-making player, the man who is about to take over the Lakers' scepter from the Magic and change the future pattern of the NBA.

In the first week of the game, the performance of scout Michael Jordan also attracted everyone's attention, averaging 27.9 points, 5.1 assists and 6.8 rebounds per game, and quickly established himself as a leader in the Bulls.

It's just that the data is not too amazing compared to Zhou Chen.

The Bulls' record was also not satisfactory, with just 1 win and 3 losses in the first week of play.

Zhou Chen can only deeply sympathize with his good brother, after all, there is no Pippen and Rodman around Jordan now, only a group of role players who can't support the wall in the mud.

After leaving the NCAA, the situation of the two can be described as very different, Zhou Chen looks so smooth, led Huaxia to win the championship in the Olympics, and joined the championship-level Lakers.

In the official selection of the first week, Zhou Chen also beat Jordan and was elected the best rookie of the first week without suspense.

However, he averaged 40 points per game and did not win the Player of the Week.

The league awarded the award to Magic Johnson, who averaged 17.8 points, 15.9 assists and 9.8 rebounds per game, not only on the assist list, but also close to averaging a triple-double.

Zhou Chen was not discouraged by this, he thought that sooner or later what belonged to him would come, it was just a matter of time.

Now it seems that Magic Johnson also seems to be in a better state of organization because of his arrival, and he no longer needs to bear the offensive pressure of the Lakers outside and release his passing talent to the fullest.

After the first week of play, the Lakers briefly received four or five days off.

It's just that these four or five days are more tiring for Zhou Chen than playing on the court, and every day, accompanied by Jenny Bass, he goes in and out of various high-end places, and signs commercial endorsement contracts with some well-known large companies and entities in Los Angeles.

However, in this process, Zhou Chen is tired and happy, his popularity is extremely high, and his business endorsements are also rising.

In just over a week on the NBA stage, Zhou Chen was paid more than the salary of his rookie contract for off-court commercial endorsements.

Busy with basketball court training and off-court commercial endorsements, Zhou Chen has no time to accompany Monica Bellucci recently.

However, in a short reunion, Zhou Chen learned that Monica, with her superior appearance conditions, had received invitations from some Hollywood crews, but most of them were innocuous supporting roles.

Considering that the water in the entertainment industry is very deep, Zhou Chen is also "about three chapters" with Monica, does not kiss scenes, does not pick up bed scenes, and does not accept the director's private invitation.

In fact, Zhou Chen's consideration is completely superfluous, and his love story with Monica has long been excavated by paparazzi on the streets.

The reason why many Hollywood crews invite mock Monica to star is largely because of Zhou Chen's fame in the NBA.

After a short break, on Saturday of the second week of the regular season, the NBA league played a major event.

The Chicago Bulls host the Los Angeles Lakers.

Zhou Chen and Jordan, the prospecting show, the first showdown on the NBA stage!

A best friend of three years in North Carolina, he stood on the stage as an opponent for the first time.

Zhou Chen and Jordan, known as "quarterback double pride", are also a topic of interest in the mouths of fans.

This game has received no less attention than the yellow-green battle between the Lakers and the Celtics.

Because of the wonderful performance of Zhou Chen and Jordan in the first week of the game, it even makes people feel that the excitement of the two matches is not weaker than the confrontation between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.
