Having a guard cameo in the center position isn't the first time this has happened with the Lakers.
In the 1979–80 finals, Abdul-Jabbar suffered a severe sprained ankle.
The fledgling magician, temporary cameo center, the performance is extremely amazing.
In that game, facing the 76ers' inside, slashing 42 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, and finally led the Lakers to the championship, the Magic also became the first player in NBA history to win the Finals FMVP as a rookie.
Of course, the magician is able to make a cameo appearance as a center, and there are its objective physical conditions there.
The height of 2.06 meters has allowed him to reach the average height level of the league center, weighing nearly 100 kilograms, and can also withstand the level of confrontation on the inside.
Back on the court, the Lakers' formation instantly caused an exclamation from the audience.
When people saw Magic and Zhou Chen fighting for rebounds inside, they all exclaimed: "This team is really crazy!" "
Michael Cooper became the point guard of the Lakers, but he was also an extremely good player in possession and defense.
Against the Rockets' weak outside, Cooper is more than enough to deal with them.
The Lakers attacked, and Zhou Chen directly faced Olajuwon!
When he received a pass from Cooper, he directly used a set of dream footsteps to play Olajuwon's defense!
When Zhou Chen swung past Olajuwon and wanted to make a layup, Sampson, another center of the Rockets, immediately assisted in defense!
Zhou Chen passed the ball directly in the air to the magician who had been in ambush for a long time on the other side of the inner line!
The latter directly and easily hit the basket!
The magician and Zhou Chen, a pair of intimate partners in the backfield, came to the inside line, and the cooperation was also seamless!
Without a height advantage, this goal relied entirely on the duo's individual ability and excellent vision, playing the Rockets' twin towers in the palm of your hand.
From this goal, the Lakers set off the curtain on the counterattack!
Zhou Chen's athleticism allows him to not fall behind when competing for rebounds and card positions!
Even in the face of Olajuwon's attack, he was able to complete the defense like a hat.
After Zhou Chen and Magic temporarily made a guest appearance in the Lakers' interior line, they only played for more than 5 minutes and achieved very significant results.
During that time, the Magic shot 3-of-5, had 10 points and 10 rebounds, as well as two steals and two blocks.
And Zhou Chen's performance was even more amazing, cutting 12 points while also giving the Rockets Twin Towers 6 big caps and 5 steals!
What's more, both have a strong sense of passing.
No matter what situation they face to assist in defense and wrapping, Zhou Chen and the magician can always complete the attack through perfect internal tactical cooperation!
Zhou Chen's athleticism also allowed him to constantly attack the inside and get free throws!
With 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Rockets center Sampson left the court with a direct 6 foul!
And Big Dream Olajuwon also had 5 fouls!
After Sampson came down, Zhou Chen and the magician were already unstoppable on the inside!
Johnson first hit two super difficult hooks to help the Lakers chase the score on the court to 100 draws!
Subsequently, Zhou Chen completed a smash against Olajuwon on the inside and got the opportunity to add a penalty!
Olajuwon also left the scene!
After hitting the free throw, the Lakers have a three-point lead!
But this game has already shown a one-sided situation!
Time entered the last minute, and the Rockets began the all-court pressing tactic!
Zhou Chen pulled to the outside and hit 2 key three-pointers! The difference between the two teams has widened to 9 points!
The suspense of the game is completely lost!
In the last 10 seconds of the game, the Rockets still want to dribble for a layup!
It was directly cut off by Zhou Chen! Completely put an end to the suspense of this game!
Zhou Chen also got his 10th steal of the game!
The Lakers narrowly defeated the Houston Rockets 109-100 at home, continuing to consolidate their position as the first in the West!
Zhou Chen not only scored the second highest score of the season with 55 points, but also handed out 12 rebounds and 10 steals!
Achieved an alternative triple-double of "50+10+10"!
This is also the first time in NBA history that there is a horrible 50+ triple-double with steals!
This is the first game of Zhou Chen's comeback, and he has shown a shocking competitive state!
However, because of the ban, in this week's best rookie selection, Zhou Chen finally gave the award to Jordan.
This week, Jordan's numbers averaged 29.7 points, 5.8 assists, 6.8 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game, beating the 22.5 points and 12.5 rebounds per game of "Big Dream" Olajuwon.
Over the next two weeks, the Lakers ushered in a relatively easy schedule.
They first comfortably defeated the Portland-Blazers 111-99 at home, and Sam Bowie, the white center who was drafted by the Lakers at the end of the first round and then traded to the Blazers, was still water.
The main reason is that his injury problem is really serious, and he met the Trail Blazers veterinarian again, basically returning to the sky.
However, according to Sam Bowy later recalled, in fact, his injury was left in college, but in order to participate in the draft, he concealed the fact that his foot had suffered a bone crack.
Zhou Chen played against another well-known shooting guard in the league, "Glider" Drexler.
Drexler is worthy of being once hailed as a talented defender, and his talent on the offensive end is no worse than that of Zhou Chen and Jordan.
But the defensive end is nowhere near the same as these two fledgling rookies.
In this game, Zhou Chen scored 32 points against Drexler, while also giving away 5 steals and 6 blocks, while Drexler only scored 22 points under his defense.
After winning the Blazers, the Lakers began another road trip, but this time the road trip was relatively easy, and they were some weak teams in the east and west.
Like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks and other teams, the Lakers even deliberately preserved their strength, so that Abdul-Jabbar and Magic could easily win the game.
Over the next two weeks, the Lakers had another luxurious record of eight straight wins.
They also surpassed the Boston Celtics with a 26-3 record and once again topped the league!
Under the condition that the magician and Abdul-Jabbar and others were on leave, Zhou Chen completely established his position in the team during this time and obtained unlimited fire rights!
In the second month of the regular season, Zhou Chen averaged 40.3 points, 5.1 assists, 6.7 rebounds, 4.1 steals and 2.6 blocks per game!
He also beat Bird and Jordan to win the Player of the Month title for the first time in his career, while also winning Rookie of the Month.
In the league's five stat rankings, Zhou Chen is far ahead in points per game in points and steals, and his blocks are even ranked second in the league, behind the Jazz's giant Mark Eaton.
ESPN commentators said of Zhou Chen: He is an epoch-making guard player, and changing the future pattern of the league is already a sure thing.
In the upcoming Christmas War, the NBA has arranged a blockbuster play of the year.
The Lakers and Celtics will meet for the second and final time of the season.
The performance of the opener slashing 60 points on Bird's head is vivid to Zhou Chen.
That time there was a home BUFF bonus, but this Christmas game was different.
The Lakers will head to the Celtics' North Shore Garden Arena.
With the experience of being "roasted" at home in Boston last year's Finals, the Magic also complained on the team bus: "
Bostonians don't know what kind of moth is going to be made this time."
Zhou Chen has a vague hunch that this may be the toughest game for the Lakers so far this season.
"Forcing King" Bird was last hit by his rookie, will he give up?
