NBA: God-level selection

After the 05/06 season, the Kings never made the playoffs again, the team has been weak, and several rebuilds have been unsuccessful, but in fact the Kings have been brilliant today.

In the 1950/1951 season, under the Princeton tactical system of Coach Adelman, with Webb, Stojakovic and other titans as the core, and Bobby Jackson and other “bench bandits”, it became the most spectacular team in the NBA.

That year, the Kings also managed to win the only championship trophy in the team’s history.

But now.

The Kings really can’t, there is only one former All-Star center Zach Randolph, but the All-Star from the Grizzlies is now a 36-year-old veteran, and his strength is not what he used to be.

In this game, the outside world did not expect it at all, and it was unanimously believed that the Lakers, who played at home, could win the game.

In fact.

The same is true.

First quarter of the game.

The Lakers have strong confidence with a five-game winning streak, as well as home-court advantage, leading the Kings by seven points.

And the second quarter of the game… After Meng Chen came on the court, the Lakers were even more unstoppable, Meng Chen cut 17 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in a single quarter, expanding the point difference to as many as 16 points in one fell swoop.

Return at half-time.

Easy to fight again.

Meng Chen’s performance is still strong, his offense is almost unstoppable, and he is a point maniac, only playing 4 minutes, cutting 12 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists, helping the Lakers blast a wave of 14-4 offensive climax, and the point difference suddenly opened to 26 points.

Directly made this game lose its suspense.

Meng Chen left the game early, the Kings faced such a big point difference, they were unable to return to the sky, and surrendered early in the fourth quarter, allowing the game to enter garbage time.

Just as initially expected.

The Lakers lightly defeated the Kings and won six straight games.

Meng Chen, who clocked in in the third quarter, easily scored 29 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in just 16 minutes.

The next night.

The Lakers continue to host the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies’ record this season is also very unsatisfactory, with a dismal 5-11 record, temporarily ranking 14th in the West, and I think that even if they play a full season, the team will not improve much in the rankings.

Because….

Mike Conley, the core of the team, was injured three days ago, and the result of the injury report was an indefinite break, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow for the Grizzlies.

The only player the Grizzlies can play on the table now is Gasol Jr.

But obviously such a grizzly bear is not enough to challenge the Lakers with Meng Chen away, and this game is still as predicted before the game without a trace of suspense.

Lakers slaughter bears.

In the whole game, Meng Chen cut 31 points, 9 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks of “quasi-triple-double” data, which is undoubtedly the most shining player tonight.

Take down the Grizzlies.

The Lakers also enjoyed a seven-game winning streak this season.

Looking at the entire league, there are only three teams that have won 7 consecutive games this season, the Rockets, Celtics and Lakers, and the Pelicans have won 6 consecutive games, which is the closest team to 7 consecutive wins.

And the day before yesterday.

Boston Celtics, the first in the East, ended his 9-game winning streak this season, which means that only the Lakers and Rockets continue to maintain a brilliant record of more than 7 consecutive wins.

Only the Rockets with the Lakers.

This undoubtedly made the league pay special attention to these two teams.

The Rockets have been strong from the beginning of this season, and have always led the league, and are the league’s default and recognized strong team with the ability to impact the Western Conference.

Look at the Lakers, on the other hand.

At the beginning of the season, the league ranked first from the bottom, and the record of ten consecutive losses was spit on by countless journalists and experts, and the label defined by the outside world was… Weak team.

But now this weak team has won 7 consecutive victories, looking at the league, only the Rockets can crush it.

This undoubtedly shocked many team executives.

Although they know that the reason why the Lakers suddenly got better is the addition of the original rookie Meng Chen, it is the result of this kid from Huaxia, who has repeatedly bloomed and played god-level performance.

But they didn’t expect, or didn’t realize, that Meng Chen led the Lakers to win 7 consecutive wins, and he himself did not taste a defeat this season.

And the eye-catching 7-game winning streak has allowed the teams in the league, from the initial knowledge of Meng Chen, to now… has begun to pay attention to Meng Chen and the Lakers team that Meng Chen is in.

……

Following.

New Orleans Pelicans locker room.

Center Anthony Davis: “Seven wins in a row? The Lakers have been gaining momentum lately, and it seems like we’re going to challenge the Lakers tomorrow night. ”

Defender Joe Holladay: “Uh… It seems that yes, the Lakers seem to have produced a Chinese rookie, called Meng Chen, the data of “quasi-triple-double” per game, has been hot recently. ”

Defender Rajan Rondo: “Ah… What about the Lakers’ 10-game losing streak this season, and now it’s a 10-game winning streak? It seems that the rookie from Huaxia does seem to have some standards. ”

Striker Relying on Wan Moore: “Huh? Meng Chen? Haven’t heard of it, it’s powerful? ”

Center DeMarcus Cousins: “Whoever he is, it’s all up, and we Pelicans are a championship-winning team this year.” ”

Center Anthony Davis: “That’s right, whoever he is, let’s end the Lakers’ seven-game winning streak and get a seven-game winning streak belonging to the Pelicans.” ”

Everyone: “Oh~”

Celtic locker room.

Carey Owen was resting in a soft chair, flipping through the latest news, and said, “Meng Chen? Lately it’s been flooded with too much news about this player. ”

Jaylen Bulang, who was doing pull-ups on the side, heard this, stopped moving, looked at Owen, and said: “Kairi, Meng Chen is the most recent figure. ”

“He’s led the Lakers to seven straight wins, and he’s gaining momentum.”

Meng Chen?

Tatum, who was eating a snack break, heard their conversation, leaned over, then looked at Owen, raised his eyebrows, and said: “Kairi, I know Meng Chen, a rookie, and his breakthrough is not inferior to yours.” ”

“The most important thing is that he is still a big man with a height of 2.08 meters, and he also has superb breakthrough ability at this height, and I don’t think I have the ability to burst a two-size-old Carey one-on-one.”

“Two size older me?!”

Owen sat up from his soft chair, he had no resistance to a player with strong breakthrough ability, especially since the player was also 2.08 meters tall, also known as his replica.

Moment.

Owen became deeply interested in Meng Chen.

Not only the Pelicans and Celtics, but also a group of strong teams such as the Thunder, 76ers, Raptors, and Warriors, all began to notice Meng Chen after the Lakers won 7 consecutive victories.
