Chapter 148: Easy Winning Streak! Who Can Stop the Lakers?
The third quarter is over.
The Lakers have already gained a lead of more than 30 points.
Jiang Chen completely let himself go in this game, unleashing the offensive beast hidden deep within him.
In less than three quarters of game time, he made 22 of 31 shots, 13 of 19 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws, scoring an amazing 62 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 5 steals.
He defeated the Pacers players with this performance and also made the fans at the scene turn against him again and start shouting "MVP"!
Larry Bird, who was sitting in a corner, had a livid face, an unprecedented solemnity in his eyes, and a burning face.
The Pacers players lost all their face.
It turns out that being a president is different from playing basketball.
He served as president for many years but was unable to pull the Pacers back from the bottom of the league.
As a player, he was confident that he could win a championship trophy for the Pacers within three years.
Unfortunately, he dedicated his entire career to the Celtics.
The present era belongs to these young people, just like Jiang Chen on the court, who made Bird see the shadow of Jordan.
He couldn't help but start to miss the days when he was a big shot on the court.
Unfortunately, his playing days are over!
beep!
The whistle sounded.
The game is over.
122:97.
The Lakers easily won the game with a 25-point advantage and continued their undefeated streak.
Jiang Chen did not play in the fourth quarter.
Even though Phil and his teammates hoped that he could continue to play, break his own scoring record, and have a great night.
But Jiang Chen resolutely refused.
He followed Kobe's example and watched from the sidelines after scoring 62 points in three quarters against the Mavericks, and also sat on the bench for one quarter in the fourth quarter.
In this regard, Kobe expressed his deep appreciation for Jiang Chen.
After the game.
Many media reporters, with the mentality of watching the fun and not minding the big things, called out to Larry Bird online. Facing such a painful defeat, wasn't Bird going to come back to save the team?
In response, Larry Bird remained silent.
It's not about swallowing your anger but rather being disdainful of the reporters' ridicule. There's absolutely no need to lower yourself to exchange trash talk with these reporters.
...
After this game, the NBA officially announced the Player of the Week for the second week of the new season.
Eastern Conference Player of the Week was won by LeBron James of the Cavaliers.
In the second week of the regular season, James led the team to three consecutive wins and maintained the first place in the Eastern Conference.
In the West, Jiang Chen was undisputedly elected Western Conference Player of the Week again.
It is worth mentioning that Kobe was also nominated for Player of the Week.
In the three games last week, he averaged 32 points, 5 rebounds, and 10 assists per game, and for the first time in his career, he had double-digit assists in three consecutive games!
Led by the powerful duo of Kobe and Jiang Chen, the Lakers have won seven consecutive games and have not lost a game since the start of the season.
Now the whole country is discussing how long the Lakers can continue their winning streak, and which NBA team has the strength to end the Lakers' winning streak.
Finally, everyone focused their attention on the Lakers' last game of their six-game road trip against the Mavericks.
After all, the Mavericks are a traditional powerhouse in the Western Conference. They currently have 5 wins and 2 losses this season and are ranked fourth in the Western Conference.
After a long road trip, the Lakers must be exhausted both physically and mentally, and it is difficult for them to maintain a good competitive state.
That's why everyone is optimistic that the Mavericks can end the Lakers' winning streak.
But before that, the Lakers still have to challenge the Knicks and Bulls in the Eastern Conference.
Like the Pacers, the Knicks are a traditional weak team in the Eastern Conference and have missed the playoffs for many consecutive years.
This team seems to be cursed. No matter which superstar goes to the Knicks, there will be no good ending.
However, as the team with the highest market value in the league and located in New York, the Knicks have never lacked attention.
This game against the Lakers was also enthusiastically welcomed by New York fans.
The entire competition process was uneventful.
The Lakers took the lead from the start and established a 26-point lead at halftime, completely defeating the Knicks.
Angry New York fans booed the entire stadium, not only at the Knicks but also at the Lakers.
Only a few fans support the Lakers.
In the eyes of New York fans, the Lakers really make them envious and jealous.
Why can't the Knicks produce even one star like Kobe or Jiang Chen?
How could he end up being condemned by everyone in the alliance?
The game is over.
119:85.
The Lakers completed a "massacre" with a score difference of 34 points!
No Knicks player could stop Jiang Chen and Kobe's offense.
Jiang Chen scored 43 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 5 steals in the game.
Kobe scored 30 points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists, and 1 steal.
The Wangzha combination once again played an amazing game, shocking the whole world.
After the post-match interview, the Lakers rushed to Chicago to prepare for tomorrow's game against the Bulls.
This is a back-to-back game, so the Lakers have no time to rest at all.
Even sleeping can only be done on the plane.
This is the cruel schedule of the NBA, which is a great test of the body and mind for the athletes.
At dawn, the Lakers also arrived in Chicago.
This city where the "God of Basketball" once played is full of Michael Jordan's shadow.
The street murals, theme hotels, bars, etc., are all Jordan-themed.
This shows how profound an impact Jordan had on the city of Chicago during his more than ten years of professional career.
There is no doubt that Jordan is the symbol and symbol of Chicago!
Only by coming to Chicago can you realize how profound the mark Jordan left on this city is.
Once upon a time, Jordan led the Bulls to achieve many brilliant achievements.
But since Jordan retired, the Bulls have become a second-rate team and even ranked last in the Eastern Conference for many years.
However, this season, the Bulls finally welcomed their savior.
They selected Derrick Rose with the No. 1 pick in the draft.
This son of the Windy City, who grew up in Chicago, is seen as the hope to lead the Bulls to revival!
The upcoming game against the Lakers is seen by the media as a huge challenge for No. 1 pick Rose.
Facing the Lakers' king bomb combination, what kind of performance can Rose play, and is he worthy of the title of the No. 1 pick?
This makes the local fans in Chicago look forward to this game!
