NBA Drunken Master: I want to play drunk basketball!

In the underground car of the Great Western Forum Arena, Curry, Zhou Chen slowly walked down from his red Ferrari.

Walking into the arena, countless media and cameras turned on him in an instant.

Zhou Chen wore a gray-blue suit today, and the whole person showed the temperament of a thug in a suit.

The straight figure is a hanger.

The contours of the facial features are like carvings, and the majestic suit gives people a domineering attitude.

Jenny Bath followed, carrying a briefcase, wearing a standard professional women's suit, black silk wrapped around her legs, and high heels on her feet, very royal sister temperament.

In this chaotic, noisy '80s, most NBA stars didn't pay much attention to the image off the court.

But Zhou Chen knows that many years later, the NBA entrance ceremony has slowly evolved into a player's dress catwalk ceremony.

Zhou Chen's entry outfit was so formal that it instantly attracted the attention of countless media, which can be regarded as a precedent in the NBA.

Now he is a hot superstar in the league, and every move on and off the court is in the spotlight, so he needs to always pay attention to his image.

This is also the first game of Zhou Chen's comeback after being banned, and he wants to bring a different spirit to the home audience and the media, expressing the spirit of his strong comeback.

After Zhou Chen returned to the dressing room to change his jersey and training clothes, he followed his teammates into the stadium.

The Great Western Forum arena is already crowded.

Zhou Chen's return also greatly enhanced the enthusiasm of fans to come to the scene to watch the game.

In the player tunnel, fans kept taking out their jerseys and sneakers and handing them to Zhou Chen, wanting to get his autograph.

According to the league's grapevine, jerseys and sneakers with Zhou Chen's signature can sell for a lot on the black market.

In other words, Zhou Chen's current popularity is no worse than any superstar in the NBA today.

Mainly because Zhou Chen's playing style is extremely ornamental, and his personal strength is also worthy of such high popularity.

In the protracted battle with the Pistons, the scene of Zhou Chen returning full of blood after being seriously injured inspired countless people who love basketball.

A violent conflict broke out between the two sides in the game, and Zhou Chen helped the world "punish" the evil people in the NBA, and even harvested a large wave of fans.

The main advantage of the Houston Rockets being a dark horse this season is the interior.

They drew the top picks in 1983 and 1984 for two consecutive years, selecting 2.24m Larry Sampson and 2.13m Olajuwon, respectively, to form the league's toughest Twin Towers combination.

Not to mention how coveted Olajuwon's talent is, Sampson alone is enough to give the vast majority of the league's interior players a drink.

Sampson, who is 2.24 meters tall, not only has a proud height, but also has physical fitness and bouncing power that does not match this height.

From the perspective of ordinary people, this is something beyond conventional cognition.

However, this kind of flying style of play also doomed the peak of the giant's career to not be too long, and also buried hidden dangers for later injuries.

Abdul-Jabbar, a veteran of the Lakers, also chose to make a comeback in this game.

Sure enough, after the start of the game, facing the onslaught of 24-year-old Sampson and 21-year-old Olajuwon, Abdul-Jabbar was simply alone.

The Lakers' other interior lineman, Kurt Rambis, although he is also relatively strong in the style of play, is always only a role player and cannot influence the overall situation.

Less than a quarter into the game, Sampson and Olajuwon cut points over Abdul-Jabbar's head through constant inside coordination.

Sampson scored 12 points and five rebounds on 4-of-5 shooting from the field, while Olajuwon shot 3-of-6 for 10 points and six rebounds, and the Rockets also firmly dominated the court before the end of the first quarter.

Abdul-Jabbar received 2 fouls early and went to the break.

After the start of the second quarter, Pat Riley sent a rare small lineup at the suggestion of Zhou Chen.

Put McAdu, a player with high mobility and athletic ability, in the position of center forward.

Worthy and Cooper play the positions of power forward and small forward respectively, and Zhou Chen and Magic Johnson are still sitting in the backcourt.

In this way, the space for the Lakers is completely opened!

To prevent Worthy's mid-range shot, Olajuwon had to pull outside to defend.

Zhou Chen continued to make kills through his breakthroughs, so that Sampson's foul count reached as many as four in the first half.

It also relieved some of the pressure on Abdul-Jabbar on the inside.

After the backcourt whirlwind of Magic and Zhou Chen unfolded, the Lakers slowly reversed the score!

At halftime, with Zhou Chen's long-range three-point shot, the Lakers ended the first half 70-58 and entered the second half with a 12-point lead.

In the first two quarters, Zhou Chen made 6 shots from beyond the three-point line, hitting 4 of 4 shots, 6 of 10 two-pointers, and 10 of 10 free throws, cutting a career-high half-time high of 34 points, while also scoring 6 assists and 7 rebounds.

After the start of the second half, the Rockets changed their defensive strategy and began to switch defenses.

"Big Dream" Olajuwon regained his advantage on the inside, constantly scoring points for the Rockets through his dreamy footsteps!

In the third quarter, Olajuwon completely dominated the Lakers' interior line, slamming 20 points in a single quarter to help the Rockets turn the game around.

After three battles, the two sides fought 80 draws!

In the final quarter, the Rockets' twin towers continued to be powerful, and Abdul-Jabbar could not withstand the huge defensive pressure on the inside.

The final quarter played less than 2 minutes and left the game with 6 fouls.

Before he left the court, Abdul-Jabbar hit just five of his 20 shots in the game, scoring a season-low 11 points and five rebounds, and also handed out six turnovers.

Being rubbed by two young people on the ground, this all-time scorer is not as frustrated as expected.

With a career of nearly 20 years, perhaps he has already seen many winds and waves, and this small setback will not cause any waves on his insider.

The Lakers players didn't blame him, after all, Abdul-Jabbar's status on the team is still very high, and he is 38 years old, so he can't ask for anything more.

After Abdul-Jabbar left the court, the Lakers' interior line faced a huge deficit.

Coach Riley ended up making an amazing decision.

Let Magic Johnson temporarily play the center position, just like that Finals in his rookie season.

And Zhou Chen was also arranged by him to the position of power forward!

Originally a backcourt combination of the Lakers, it has now instantly become the Lakers' interior combination!

With just over 9 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Rockets temporarily led the Lakers 90-85!

The contest between the list and the champion seems to have just begun.
