Chapter 58: Derek, You're Tired

After the Lakers played the Trail Blazers, they had back-to-back games against the Clippers the next day.

Zhao Dashao didn't feel any pressure, because the Lakers were leading by double digits when he came on the court.

This was the middle of the first quarter, and the Clippers did not put up a decent resistance throughout the game, and in the end, the Lakers beat the Clippers by 41 points on the road, which can be regarded as venting some of the resentment accumulated on the Celtics last season.

Zhao Dashao said that he liked this kind of big victory very much, because the Zen master would let him go up and brush the data in garbage time.

His summer campaign paid off, with the first Tesla cars not being delivered until the end of the year, but dozens of people still got their hands on them, including the Zen Master.

At the beginning, he even bribed the summer league players, let alone the head coach who now controls his playing time and the role of the team.

In this game, he played 28 minutes, scored the second-highest 18 points on the team, and had 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, almost stealing the best of the game from the boss!

Looking at this year's rookies, Zhao Dashao relied on the efficient performance of the first two games, although he did not start, but he was still the most dazzling one.

In fact, Ross and Mayo are not much different from Zhao Dashao in terms of data, but they are very different from Zhao Dashao in terms of efficiency.

None of the rookies who averaged more than 20 minutes per game in their first two games shot more than 40 percent from the field.

This is also a difficult time for all rookies except Zhao Dashao in their rookie season, as they have to adapt to a completely different defensive intensity than the NCAA.

Zhao Dashao's two games combined were 15 of 25 shots, and 5 of 10 three-pointers, and his shooting percentage was unique among the rookies.

Of course, these two games are not enough as a basis, and Zhao Dashao's third game is not so efficient.

In this game, the Lakers played against the Denver Nuggets on the road, and the shooting rate of the whole team was less than 40%, and Zhao Dashao only handed over a shooting rate of 3 of 8.

It was his worst performance in three games, but with a team-wide shooting percentage generally sluggish, his performance wasn't too bad.

The most speechless thing is that the Lakers actually won the game with less than 40% shooting, because they played a 53-38 advantage in rebounding, and the Lakers' twin towers' rebounding dominance, coupled with Lao Ko's super performance, helped the Lakers win the game.

Today, the Lakers' team-wide shooting percentage was extremely low, but Kobe Bryant still had an efficiency of 11-of-20 shooting, scoring a game-high 31 points, and became Mr. Key again at the critical moment in the final quarter, and his performance overwhelmed the Nuggets' double shots.

Catherine asked Zhao Dashao a little helplessly after the game - excuse me, how can such a Kobe be black?

Zhao Dashao said: Don't be a black boss at this time, you should focus on Gasol's rebounding performance today, as well as the pig-headed performance of Lao Yu and Bynum and others on the offensive end, especially the poor performance of the bench, in short, except for Kobe, sister-in-law, and him Zhao Erba, all of them are rubbish!

Catherine said that she understood, this is to focus on creating the illusion that this team is only reliable except for Kobe and Gasol.

The Lakers started the season with three straight wins, and Zhao Dashao's performance in Game 3 dropped slightly, but one game was not enough to be a black spot, and it was already good for him, an 18-year-old rookie, to have such a performance.

In the fourth game, the Lakers returned to their home court to play against the Clippers again, and it was naturally another hearty victory.

Zhao Dashao felt that the Clippers were really his lucky team, and he became more and more proficient in this kind of vegetable abuse game, and in the garbage time of the last quarter, he actually scored a 14 points in a single quarter, and even the Zen master felt that this kid contained the potential of a super big brush in his body.

Rose was stimulated by him the day before yesterday, and just broke out into the small universe and scored 26 points in a single game; Beasley also scored 25 points in Game 3.

Zhao Dashao's performance today was very annoying, because he happened to hand over a 27-point answer sheet and pressed the two back again.

"My goal is to be the best rookie, and that's my personal assignment in my rookie season."

Zhao Dashao made no secret of his goal after the game, and now he is very satisfied with his decision to join the Lakers, because not only has it become easier to score, but the team's record has also surpassed that of other rookies by a few streets, and now he doesn't know how to lose?

The next game of the Lakers will welcome the Houston Rockets at home, which is the first game of the new season broadcast by CCTV, the reason is needless to say, of course, it is for the sake of Da Yao's face.

He has already gotten news from the domestic media that because Space Yi continues to be the starter in the Nets, the number of games broadcast by CCTV this season is from more to less the Rockets, Nets, Lakers, and Knicks.

As long as the Rockets have Yao Ming, there is no lack of attention, and CCTV will still broadcast the Rockets' games live in the new season.

The Nets have Ah Lian here, and they have also got a lot of broadcast spots this year.

The Lakers have Kobe Bryant, and the number of broadcast games has always been second only to the Rockets, not to mention that there is Zhao Dashao in the new season, and this year's broadcast number is about the same as that of the Nets.

The Knicks also got some broadcast quotas for games this year, which is naturally for Brother Sun's sake.

But there is room for adjustment in the game between the Nets and the Knicks, CCTV will adjust it according to the actual situation, and once Zhao Dashao shows a performance that domestic fans are calling for, then the quota of the Nets and the Knicks will be moved to the Lakers' side.

The Lakers' battle against the Rockets is the key, whether it is the adjustment of the broadcast schedule in the future, or the impression of Zhao Dashao in the minds of domestic fans, this battle will have a far-reaching impact, because the quality of the first impression is very important.

Duan Ran told him before the game that the domestic ratings of this game would not be less than 30 million, which was still a conservative calculation.

"More than 30 million people watching a game?"

Zhao Dashao was also a little smacked when he got the news, but when he thought that it was the period with the most domestic basketball fans, and it was just in time for everyone to watch NBA games for half a year, 30 million viewers were not outrageous.

If this year's Western Conference Finals is the Lakers and Rockets, it is estimated that the number of viewers in China will have a chance to exceed 50 million.

Lakers players were talking about the huge number of Chinese fans before the game, and it is unlikely that there will be as many as 30 million NBA games, even if they are broadcast live across the United States.

Unless it's the Lakers vs. Cavaliers Finals, there will be a chance to reach this ratings number.

"So, I put the Chinese fans first, absolutely no problem!"

Zhao Dashao once again strengthened his determination to treat Chinese fans as his own father, and the NBA fans in the United States are at least three or five times less than those in China, so let's get out of the way!

But in order for Chinese fans to accept and love him, he must have an excellent performance, otherwise let alone increase the honor coins with the help of Chinese fans, it would be good not to be hacked to bankruptcy, and if he can't play well, he really has to make movies.

"Derek, you're sleepy!"

Zhao Dashao faced the energetic old fish in the locker room, and said with a concerned expression.

"Am I not sleepy? Had a good night's sleep yesterday. ”

Fisher didn't understand what this meant, how did he know that Zhao Dashao had an infinite desire for "starters" today.

But the Zen master does not plan to change his positioning, he has already decided that Young Master Zhao will be the sixth person in the backcourt this year, and for a rookie who is 18 years old and a few months old, it is already very heavy to be assigned to this role.

James was also 18 years old at the time, but his birthday was half a year older than Zhao Dashao, and the Cavaliers were a team of fish belly, how could they be compared with the Lakers?

The Lakers finished second last season, and this role is not aggrieved at all.

Kobe Bryant only got this role in the second year, and Kobe Bryant in the first year was a substitute rotation player, so why is Zhao Dashao not satisfied?
