NBA Drunken Master: I want to play drunk basketball!

"The playoffs are a stage for defense! It doesn't take us so many talented offensive players to win the game!

Riley spat during the timeout.

He's right, the playoffs are a stage to test defense.

Now, Wilkes, the veteran who replaced Worthy, clearly doesn't have that ability.

He rarely played in the regular season, and he couldn't adapt to the intensity of the playoffs for a while, and he couldn't resist the frequent impact of Larry Nance.

"Coach, let me take Worthy's place, and let Cooper take my place."

At the end of the pause, Zhou Chen gave his own advice.

This suggestion was unanimously approved by his teammates, and Riley also agreed with Zhou Chen's idea.

Michael Cooper was then replaced by veteran Wilkes.

Cooper, who had just been selected for the best defensive team of the season with Zhou Chen, had an immediate effect after coming on.

The two combined to limit Larry Nance's strong play.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Lakers switched defense to attack, and Zhou Chen and Magic double-shot at the backcourt and hit consecutive shots, helping the Lakers overtake the score!

Cooper's play, although the height of the Lakers' backcourt defense dropped a lot, but the defensive speed increased by more than one notch.

In terms of defense alone, Cooper plays a much greater role as a defensive player than Worthy.

At the start of the second quarter, the two sides played on substitutes.

The Suns' bench bandits are more tenacious than expected, and they hit the Lakers' interior in a row!

The difference between the two teams has never been widened!

At halftime, the Lakers led by only 2 points 60-58!

At halftime, the Lakers learned a bad news from Pat Riley.

James Worthy, after an initial examination, suffered a torn meniscus in his knee and has basically declared the season reimbursement.

That is, Worthy will not be on the field for the playoffs after this season.

The Lakers agreed that this year was the most promising year, but they did not expect to lose a big general in the first game of the first round.

After the start of the second half, Worthy's injury did not sink the Lakers, but became more courageous.

After Zhou Chen opened the game, he went to the basket and set off the Lakers' offensive frenzy with a violent dunk 2+1!

Subsequently, he hit four more three-pointers in quick succession, helping the Lakers stretch the gap to double digits!

Abdul-Jabbar on the inside is not old, and with his superb hooking skills, he continues to score points for the Lakers under the basket.

In this quarter of the game, the Lakers are completely crazy!

The team shot 75% from the field in this quarter, and finally scored 58 points in a single quarter!

Equaled the single-quarter team scoring record set by the Warriors against the Celtics in 1972!

Among them, Zhou Chen slashed 22 points in a single quarter, Magician scored 18 points, and Abdul-Jabbar scored 15 points in a single quarter!

Three people almost took the team's athletic goals in this quarter!

Worthy's injury made the Lakers' Big Three completely burst into great power!

Although the Suns scored 35 points in this quarter, it was their new single-quarter scoring high this season!

But after three quarters of play, they trailed by as many as 25 points!

The home court of the Lakers fell into a carnival atmosphere!

As the boos on the scene grew louder, the Suns in the final quarter also had no intention of defending, seeing the point difference being stretched to more than 30 points!

In the end, they removed the main players early!

The game is over! In the first game of the playoffs, the Lakers beat the Suns 155-120!

The first game of the playoffs is over!

Zhou Chen scored a game-high 45 points in his playoff debut, including 7-of-10 three-pointers, 10-of-10 free throws, and eight assists and five steals!

Showed his absolute strength at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends!

The next day, the Lakers officially announced that James Worthy suffered a torn meniscus in his knee during the game and will miss all the remaining games of the season!

NBA officials also announced the Sixth Person of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards on this day!

McHale of the Boston Celtics won the award with an average of 19.8 points and 9 rebounds per game!

This year marks the third time in NBA history that the Sixth Man of the Year award has been chosen, and McHale won the Sixth Man award for two consecutive editions with its absolute dominance.

In fact, at the beginning of the season, the Celtics tried to start McHale, after all, the white center is strong enough to be the starting center, and his data is even better than 90% of the league's centers.

But after losing to the Lakers and Pistons in quick succession, McHale returned to the bench to shine, and the Celtics continued their regular season heat.

When "Refrigerator" McHale won the sixth man award again, many people in the league ridiculed, saying that he obviously had the strength to start, but he had to play as a substitute, and the Celtics moved to let him grab the best sixth man award.

The award for the best defensive player is also the least suspenseful award of the season.

Mark Eaton, the Utah Jazz's 2.24-meter giant, won this year's Defensive Player of the Year with an astonishing 5.6 blocks per game.

In the selection of the best defensive player, Zhou Chen received second only to Mark Eaton, with 20% of the first vote.

This is a great recognition of Zhou Chen's defensive ability by the league and the media.

The appearance of Zhou Chen not only made up for the shortcomings of the Lakers' shooting guard, but also made the Lakers' outside defense more balanced.

The Magic's heavy attack and not heavy defense of the way they play have been criticized, and now Zhou Chen has given the Lakers the ultimate answer on the guard line with his perfect performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
