Before the All-Star Break, the Lakers faced a pivotal battle to challenge the 76ers in Philadelphia.

This season, the 76ers remain one of several competitive teams in the East.

In addition to "Dr. J" Irving and Moses Mallon, Charles Barkley's progress this season has been very clear.

So far, he is averaging 22.3 points, 12.8 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game, shooting 57.8% from the field.

Faintly, Barkley has gradually replaced the veteran Irving and become the second in charge of the team.

Seeing that Zhou Chen, Jordan and Olajuwon, who are in the same grade as themselves, have all shined in the league.

Some have won the regular season MVP, and some have reached the Finals.

Barkley's heart is naturally a little uncomfortable, so he is also particularly serious about this game against the Lakers.

In 84, the diamond generation, after entering the alliance, has developed their own unique skills.

For example, Olajuwon's dreamy footsteps, Jordan's backward jumper, and Zhou Chen is known as the most gorgeous guard in history.

Dry, back, breakthrough, and change of direction have almost become textbooks for defender offense.

His "death entanglement" defense and "blindfold defense" made all the outside players in the league tremble!

And Barkley's unique skill is his iconic big ass!

This gives him the advantage in back-to-back singles, often pushing and crushing from outside the three-point line to the inside and finishing.

The reason why Barkley's score has skyrocketed to second place in the team this season is precisely because of this "rogue" method.

It's just that the current league has not yet issued clear rules to limit the offensive methods of a rogue like Barkley.

The 76ers, who have the Big Three, took the lead in taking the initiative after the opening!

Barkley played AC Green indefinitely, making the Lakers' defense very passive.

At the critical moment, Little Potato Weber and Zhou Chen stood out on the outer line!

Webb's long-range two-point shot kicked off the Lakers' counterattack!

Then he hit the basket and scored a dunk to help the Lakers chase points!

Zhou Chen encountered the opponent's bag defense after the opening game, and then began to put down the ball and contribute to the team without the ball!

At halftime, the Lakers were just two points behind 53-55!

After the start of the second half, the Lakers adjusted their defensive alignment!

Zhou Chen decided to defend the opponent's offensive core Barkley!

In the face of the infinite back play of "Flying Pig", Zhou Chen will not be slaughtered like other players in the league.

Zhou Chen used a move "Withdraw the Stool" and easily solved Barkley's infinite back fighting tactic!

Although this trick is very insidious, the league does not stipulate that this defense cannot be used!

Moreover, Barkley's infinite back fight itself has already destroyed the balance of the offensive system, and Zhou Chen can only stop Barkley's brainless attack with this strategy.

Zhou Chen's "stool removal" tactic once again opened the eyes of the players and coaches on the scene!

Barkley was played between the palms of Zhou Chen, hit his back and fell many times, and then dribbled and went out of bounds!

In the final quarter, Barkley simply gave up the back play tactic and constantly attacked the basket from the front!

But in the frontal 1v1 defense, Zhou Chen is even less afraid of him!

In the middle of the last quarter, with Zhou Chen's flawless defense, the Lakers played a wave of defensive counterattack climax!

A wave of 25-2 attacks directly overtook the score and opened the gap to more than 20 points!

In the ensuing period, the Philadelphia 76ers struggled fruitlessly and were able to give up the game early!

In the whole game, while Zhou Chen cut 38 points, he also sent out 11 assists, 10 rebounds and 6 steals!

Although Barkley contributed a team-high 30 points and 20 rebounds, he also had 9 turnovers and almost achieved an embarrassing "alternative" triple-double!

Following the death entanglement and blindfolded defense, Zhou Chen's defensive achievements were thin and there was another "stool removal".

This season, the Lakers' roster is broken, and the newcomers are in charge, and the reason why they can always stick to the top 8 in the West is that in addition to Zhou Chen's continued outbreak on the offensive end, it is inseparable from his defensive radiation on the court.

Halfway through the regular season, many media and basketball commentators have begun to discuss who will be the best defensive player of the season.

In the scope of their discussion, Zhou Chen was undoubtedly the one in charge.

A few days later, the NBA officially announced the voting for the 1986 Dallas All-Star Game!

Following last season's 1 million votes, the league has changed the voting rules!

The proportion of Huaxia fans voting has decreased!

After all, the population is too large, the base is too large, and Zhou Chen is the only player in Huaxia who plays in the NBA, and it is easy to vote far more than other players!

But even so, Zhou Chen is still far ahead in the All-Star voting this season!

After winning the regular season MVP last season, Zhou Chen, who led the team with a single core this season, has completely captured the hearts of fans around the world!

The results of the vote are out!

With 1.5 million votes, Zhou Chen once again set a new record for NBA All-Star voting!

Michael Jordan followed with 1.05 million votes! No. 1 in the East and No. 2 in the League!

Larry Bird received 980,000 votes, ranking 3rd in the league!

Subsequently, the NBA announced the starting lineup for the 1986 All-Star Game!

East: Isaiah Thomas, Michael Jordan, Julius Irving, Larry Bird, Moses Malone

West: Zhou Chen, Elvin Robertson, Alex English, Hakim Olajuwon and Larry Sampson.

The roster for the Slam Dunk Contest is: Zhou Chen, Sparte Webb, Dominic Wilkins and Michael Jordan.

List of the first three-point contest: Zhou Chen, Larry Bird, Trent Tucker, Craig Hodges, Dale Curry, Chris Mullin.
