Chapter 122: Selected as Western Conference Player of the Week! His Explosive Performance Attracted the Attention of Lakers Legends

After the news was released, it quickly sparked heated discussions throughout the league.

This is definitely a deal that can change the league's landscape, after all, the transaction targets are all top superstars in the league.

soon.

ESPN, a well-known American sports media, released the news and conducted a detailed analysis and rating of the transaction.

The Nuggets get an A+ grade.

In the eyes of those basketball experts, Billups is more suitable for Anthony than Iverson, and most importantly, Billups can connect the entire team's offense.

Unlike when Iverson was there, most of the time they played one-on-one.

Although Iverson can occasionally deliver excellent assists, this is very rare.

For the Pistons, the trade only received a B+ grade.

Obviously, ESPN's basketball experts are not optimistic about Iverson's prospects in the Pistons.

After all, since the Pistons have dismantled the championship-winning lineup of the "Four Heavenly Kings", it also means that the team will enter a rebuilding period.

This is obviously inconsistent with Iverson's goal of winning the championship.

Besides, Iverson is already 34 years old this year and has entered the end of his career. It is questionable how much gas is left in the tank.

Faced with such analysis, Iverson's fans naturally became unhappy and went to the comment section to madly criticize the person who wrote the article.

At the same time, the fans felt very sorry for Iverson.

Because in his more than ten years of professional career, what Iverson valued most was loyalty, but he couldn't do it.

A war of words broke out.

The news of Iverson being traded definitely made the headlines and became a hot topic of discussion among fans, even overshadowing the news that Jiang Chen scored 51 points.

...

A five-star hotel in Denver.

The Lakers players are having breakfast in the restaurant.

It was already past 1 a.m. when we returned to the hotel after the game yesterday, so everyone got up late.

Everyone also saw the news that Iverson was traded and felt very sad.

The Iverson of the Nuggets era has become a thing of the past.

The next time I meet Iverson will be in the game against the Pistons.

"What do you think of this deal, man?"

Kobe looked at Jiang Chen, who was eating with his head down, with a curious expression on his face.

It's outrageous that Jiang Chen was not shocked at all by the Iverson trade.

"The Nuggets will rise, and Iverson's career will begin to decline."

Jiang Chen said briefly and continued to eat.

I didn't expect the breakfast in a five-star hotel to be so delicious...

???

The teammates turned around and looked at Jiang Chen with surprise on their faces.

Is it so direct?

You can't look down on Iverson just because he stole the ball 5 times in the game last night!

That's a superstar who dominates the league!

"Man, are you serious? I know Iverson very well. After he was traded to the Pistons, he will definitely find a way to prove his strength."

Kobe said in a heavy tone.

He was suddenly traded without any revelations, and it was obvious that the Nuggets cut the Gordian knot without even discussing it with Iverson.

Such behavior is undoubtedly disheartening and extremely disrespectful to Iverson.

"Alas! Heroes grow old, who can escape the erosion of time?"

Jiang Chen also sighed.

Everyone was silent, still not quite believing Jiang Chen's words, and just waiting to see how Iverson performed with the Pistons.

After breakfast, all the Lakers members boarded the plane back to Los Angeles.

After two days of rest, they will face the Hornets led by Chris Paul at home.

Last season, the competition between Paul and Kobe for the regular season MVP was the most intense in history, with only a few votes separating the two.

The two teams played a game at the end of the regular season.

In that game, Kobe led his team to beat the Hornets and also won the regular season MVP last season.

If Paul leads his team to beat the Lakers, he is very likely to become the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history.

But unfortunately, Paul lost the game that could decide the regular season MVP.

This season, the Hornets are back with even greater force.

Paul's ability to overcome the huge obstacle of the Lakers led by Kobe and Jiang Chen became the biggest highlight of this game.

Two days before the game, all the tickets were sold out, and it was hard to get a ticket again!

This makes people sigh at the huge popularity and charm of the Lakers.

Being in a big market like Los Angeles, there is really no shortage of audiences chasing after you!

the next day.

The NBA officially announced the list of the best players and best rookies of the first week of the season.

Jiang Chen was the first-week Western Conference Player of the Week winner.

In the three games of the new season, Jiang Chen scored 44 points, 49 points, and 51 points respectively, averaging 48 points per game, undoubtedly becoming the league's top scorer!

He also broke a series of NBA scoring records, more than a dozen of them.

With his explosive performance, the Lakers won three consecutive games and remained undefeated.

In addition to his scoring data, Jiang Chen's steals data is also outstanding. He got 9 steals in a single game against the Nuggets, making him the current steals king in the NBA!

The last player to rank first in both the scoring and steals lists was Allen Iverson.

Next, it will depend on whether Jiang Chen can maintain the first place in these two lists until the end of the season.

The Eastern Conference Player of the Week was given to Chris Bosh of the Raptors, who also led the Raptors to three consecutive wins, averaging 26 points, 10 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1 block per game.

However, compared with Jiang Chen's data, the degree of explosion is still a little lacking.

...

Late at night.

A TV station in Los Angeles broadcast the event live.

Lakers legends Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson are participating in the recording of a sports show.

As famous legendary superstars in the history of the Lakers, the two teamed up to create "show time" moments in the 1980s and won 5 championship trophies for the Lakers in ten years.

Until now, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is still the scoring leader of the regular season. His record of more than 38,000 points stands on the record list like a mountain, making countless NBA players daunted.

"Magic" Johnson changed people's perception of basketball at that time. In just over a decade of professional career, he became recognized as the strongest point guard in NBA history.

If he hadn't contracted AIDS, no one could have predicted what great achievements he would have made.

"Hey man, did you know that the Lakers now have a young Chinese player who is shining in the NBA?"

After the recording of the show, Johnson took out his mobile phone, checked the latest NBA news online, and asked in surprise.

"Oh? I don't know that! I haven't paid attention to NBA news for a long time. I only know that in the finals last season, a water cooler player on the Lakers played amazingly and helped the team defeat the Celtics and win the championship."

Jabbar thought for a moment and said.

"You are out of date, man! The whole league is discussing the amazing performance of this Chinese player. He has won the Western Conference Player of the Week award this season and has broken many scoring records! He has scored 40+ points in three consecutive games."

"Magic" Johnson said with some excitement.

"So good? Then I'd like to watch this player play."

Jabbar said with interest.

"Haha! I've got two front-row tickets for free. Tickets for Lakers home games are very hard to buy right now. Let's go and see the game together in a couple of days?"

Johnson said, with anticipation in his eyes.

"Okay! I want to see what strength this Chinese player has and whether he is qualified to shoulder the honor and glory of our Purple Gold Dynasty!!"
