NBA Drunken Master: I want to play drunk basketball!

In the penultimate game before the All-Star break, the Lakers took on the Philadelphia 76ers on the road.

This is the first meeting between the two teams this season.

It is also the strongest opponent the Lakers have met in the past month or two.

This game is destined to become the biggest stumbling block on the Lakers' road to the all-time winning streak.

In the preseason, the Lakers had a record against the current 76ers team.

But in that game, the 76ers' two main players, Julius Irving and Moses Malone, did not play.

With two All-Star starters in the East, the 76ers got Charles Barkley "the flying pig" in this year's draft.

This little fat man is only 1.93 meters tall, but he weighs 260 pounds.

This season's 76ers' roster is a luxury division and arguably the strongest team in the league as a whole besides the Lakers and Celtics.

They are also currently in second place in the East with 41 wins and 18, behind the Boston Celtics.

Their starting five are: Andrew Tony, Julius Owen, Maurice Cheeks, Charles Barkley and Moses Malone.

Two seasons ago, the 76ers, led by "Dr. J" Irving and Moses Malone, defeated the Lakers with a record 12-1 record in the playoffs to win the 1982-83 championship.

Since that year, the Lakers and 76ers have also become a feud.

The Lakers suffered an injury curse that season, and Worthy, Magic, and Abdul-Jabbar fell in the playoffs, leaving the 76ers with their heads shaved in the Finals.

Now, the lineups of both teams have been upgraded on the original basis, and this duel between the two teams has received widespread attention from the outside world.

The Lakers added their weakest shooting guard position, and the 76ers got Barkley on top of Malone to add wings.

After the start of the game, the 76ers, who played at home, showed high morale.

Facing the Lakers, who have won 32 straight games, they have no fear.

Although Dr. J is 35 years old, his physical fitness is still the same as it was then, and he frequently tears the Lakers' defense through breakthroughs.

Malone and Dr. J blossomed inside and out, scoring 13 straight points to help the 76ers get off to a 15-5 start.

But the Lakers, after a simple adjustment, replaced Rambis with Kubo and adopted a large and small lineup.

With Zhou Chen as the starting point of the attack, he frequently put pressure on the 76ers on the outside.

The quick attack long pass connection between the Magic and Worthy also tied the score for the first time!

Then the two sides fell into a tug-of-war, and the Lakers won 30-28 in the first quarter!

In the second quarter of the game, Zhou Chen continued to be hot on the outside, and he caused Dr. J's foul outside the three-point line!

All 3 extra penalties!

Then complete the steal from Marlon's hands!

Zhou Chen and the magician faced Barkley's defense in front and completed an aerial relay dunk!

Zhou Chen finished the end!

Barkley is very talented, but now the 76ers have two superstars, Dr. J and Moses Malone, and obviously have no strength, and there is no place to use!

It can be seen from his several singles Jabbar that the potential of this little fat man is limitless!

But this is only a fleeting opportunity to attack!

In fact, after Barkley entered the NBA, his fate was somewhat similar to Zhou Chen.

Both entered a strong team with a strong squad enough to compete for the championship, which was obviously a much more difficult start than the other rookies.

Not only is there less playing time, but he is also very precious in his shots, and it is only through active efforts on defense and off the ball that he can win the trust of coaches and teammates.

But fortunately, Zhou Chen soon got the day of the Lakers, and there is even a faint trend of surpassing Magic to become the number one in the Lakers.

But Barkley is miserable, averaging only about 25 minutes per game this season, averaging fewer than 10 shots per game, but can steadily contribute 14.2 points and 8.6 rebounds.

The Lakers fought back with a tidal wave of fast attacks, leaving the 76ers breathless

By the time the game was 5 minutes into the second quarter, the Lakers had a huge advantage of 20-8 in a single quarter, stretching the gap between the two teams to as many as 15 points!

76ers champion coach Cunningham quickly called a crucial long timeout.

After the timeout, both sides sent substitutes to play for a while to give the main players a break.

But it was during this period of time that the 76ers' bench suddenly broke out en masse, playing an 18-0 offensive wave with more than 6 minutes left in the second quarter!

At halftime, the game turned dramatically, and the 76ers went from trailing by 15 points to outright by 3 points!

After the main force of the Lakers returned to the court in the second half, it suddenly fell into a scoring drought, and Zhou Chen encountered the ruthless targeting of Cheeks and Tony on the offensive end!

And in this case, Worthy and the magician, who responded to Zhou Chen on the flank, did not stand up in time to share the offensive pressure for him!

Dr. J scored 10 points in a row from the outside and instantly helped the team to stretch the gap to double digits!

So far, this game can be said to be full of suspense, reversals, until the last moment, no one knows who the final winner is.

Just when the 76ers wanted to take advantage of the game and make the game a hit!

Abdul-Jabbar, the center of the Lakers, stood up like a needle in the sea!

He singled out Moses Malone many times to help the Lakers stabilize the situation on the court!

Because Abdul-Jabbar has practiced yoga for many years, he has been greatly improved, both physically and mentally!

His 38-year-old, which is similar to someone else's 28, was crowned all-time scoring leader last season, and his scoring offensive form has not declined in the slightest this season.

Inside line breakthrough buckle, no solution long-distance hook, dream footstep throw!

Abdul-Jabbar's sudden outburst made the 76ers' defense have to be transferred from Zhou Chen to Abdul-Jabbar!

In this way, Zhou Chen naturally could not live up to the heart of the old heavenly hook!

When Abdul-Jabbar's inner line was surrounded and suppressed, Zhou Chen hit 4 three-pointers in a row in the two bottom corners!

Help the Lakers chase the point difference to 95 draws!

Entering the final decisive moment, the two sides have entered a white-hot state!

You come and go, do not give in to each other, and no one is willing to give up victory!

In this way, the score of the two teams was glued until the final moments of the fourth quarter!

In the decisive moment, Dr. J received a pass from Malone and hit a layup from the middle, causing a defensive foul on Rambis.

After the extra free throw, the 76ers took a 113-110 lead!

There are only 8.1 seconds left in the game!

When Zhou Chen encountered the encirclement of the opponent's three, the magician could only pass the ball to Abdul-Jabbar on the inside to score 2 points first!

After this goal was scored, there were only 3.2 seconds left! The Lakers are still 1 point behind!

The situation is already very unfavorable for them!

Their timeouts have run out, and even if they then take a foul to send the 76ers to the free throw line, they will have to serve from the back and bet on three-pointers to earn an overtime expectation!

This is undoubtedly the best script!

But the reality is that the 76ers won't give them the opportunity to foul easily, and it will definitely consume time!

Once the time is consumed to less than 2 seconds, the chances of the Lakers serving from the backcourt to shoot a three-pointer can be said to be extremely slim and minimal!

The 76ers timeout ended and they chose a sideline serve in the second half!

In order to be able to consume as much time as possible!

When young Barkley wants to get the ball into Dr. J's hands as the coach intended!

Suddenly, a slender figure appeared in front of him!

Zhou Chen miraculously completed the steal at the last moment!

Then at the speed of the wind, the layup was completed!

So fast that players on both sides haven't reacted yet!

The Lakers finished the rally 114-113! Zhou Chen completed a desperate steal plus a quasi-kill!

In the end, the 76ers only had 0.5 seconds left, and they didn't have a chance to play at the back, and the time for the game was over!

The Lakers finally won the road against the Philadelphia 76ers, second in the East, tying the longest 33-game winning streak in NBA history!

In the whole game, Zhou Chen cut 38 points, 5 assists and 6 steals, hit 8 three-pointers, and shot a terrifying 62%!

In the confrontation with Dr. J, he is not left behind!

In the last game before the All-Star Break, the Lakers returned home to face their little brother Clippers, who are in the same city.

This season's Clippers have just moved to Los Angeles, and the roster is also extremely dismal, as a team that has not been established for a long time, the management experience is relatively lacking.

So far this season, the Clippers have a record of only 19-42, firmly ranking first in the league!

The final result can be said to be no suspense, the Lakers even chose to let Abdul-Jabbar and Magic take turns, and they still completed a wild win 140-90 in the end!

So far, the Lakers have achieved a 34-game winning streak before the All-Star Break, setting a new record in NBA history!

The Lakers' strong and perfect performance has also made the entire team more and more popular.

On the second day after the game, the NBA officially announced the voting status of the All-Star Game and the starting lineup.

Zhou Chen overtook Magic Johnson at the last moment and won the ticket winner of this All-Star Game with 1.08 million votes!

He also became the first player in the history of the four major sports leagues in North America to win the NBA as a rookie!

At the same time, the player ranked 2nd in the vote is also another rookie of this year, Michael Jordan!

He received 910,000 votes, just over 10,000 votes ahead of Magic Johnson!

In the end, the starting lineup for the 1985 Indiana All-Star Game was also settled!

West: Elvin Johnson, Zhou Chen, George Gervin, Larry Sampson, Karim Abdul Abdul-Jabbar (three Lakers players selected)

East: Isaiah Thomas, Michael Jordan, Julius Irving, Larry Bird, Moses Malone.
