Originally, after the Lakers announced the reimbursement of the Zhou Chen season, ticket sales throughout the season were greatly affected.

Many fans who ordered Lakers season packages also chose to refund tickets.

But on the eve of the Christmas War, after the Lakers officially announced Zhou Chen's early comeback, the home booking hotline was instantly exploded

! This is the influence of Zhou

Chen! The importance of Zhou Chen to the entire Lakers

team! The only superstar and core player in the Lakers team with both strength and popularity!

The Crusade has lost six straight away games, putting the Lakers in their biggest crisis since the regular season this season.

They desperately need a win to shake off the team's decline

, and this much-anticipated Christmas game is about to be played at the Great Western Forum Arena in Los Angeles, and

this is the second and final time the Lakers have played the Pistons this season.

This game is crucial for the Lakers.

This was the Lakers' last game in 1986, and whether the whole year could be perfectly ended depends on this game.

This game is also the Lakers' last chance this season against the Pistons, who have historically been bitter rivals with the Lakers.

Every time the two teams meet each other, it is full of gunpowder, as if they can fight on the field at any time.

Last season, the locker room battle between the Lakers and the Pistons was vividly remembered.

Every time the Pistons meet the Lakers, it's like playing chicken blood, especially after Ranbir was violently beaten by Zhou Chen, he took a full half of the season before coming back, so he has always held a grudge against Zhou Chen and the Lakers.

Considering Zhou Chen's body, before the start of the game, Riley repeatedly asked Zhou Chen's opinion whether to wait any longer and wait for the next game to come back.

But Zhou Chen resolutely rejected Riley's proposal.

He hasn't played in almost a month, and now he's itching all over and can't wait to get back in the ring.

During that time, he missed 11 games.

In these 11 games, the Lakers only achieved a 2-9 record, and the ranking slipped from first place in the West to second place in the West.

All indications are that the Lakers are really not good without Zhou Chen.

Before the game, the entrance ceremony of the players.

Zhou Chen, as the last player to appear in the finale, highlights his platoon as the leader of the Lakers.

As he walked past the players' bench, he high-fived his teammates and waved to the audience.

The Pistons' roster has also changed a lot compared to last season.

They brought in the Jazz's leading scorer Adrian Dantley in the offseason, forming a crazy combination of Isaiah Thomas and Joe Dumas in the backcourt trident.

On the inside, they also scooped up Sidney Green, who didn't sign a contract extension with the Bulls last season, from free agency.

Two free throws hit steadily, Zhou Chen opened the first time for the Lakers

! Dantley, who had just joined, also showed his strong scoring ability, and played a wonderful match with "Smiling Assassin" Thomas to complete the score!

He hasn't played for more than a month, and his feel has not fully recovered.

Zhou Chen gave up his invalid singles and began to integrate into the team, giving frequent wonderful assists to his teammates!

After the start of the match, the two sides played fiercely, the score alternately rose, and it was never pulled apart.

The game was also a high-intensity defensive battle, with neither side hitting a high percentage and the score rising slowly.

Until the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by 3 points 18-21

! In the last attack of the first quarter, the ball was once again given to

Zhou Chen! So far in the first quarter, Zhou Chen has made 7 shots without hitting any of them, and only scored 6 points by free throws.

This ball Pistons' rotation defense made Zhou Chen face Ranbil's defense again

! A typical opportunity to play big military training, Zhou Chen can't miss it

! He took a step inside the three-point line, quickly and rhythmically changed direction, trying to get rid of Ranbill's defense

! But Ranbir used his arm to limit Zhou Chen's movements and prevent him from breaking through from his side

! ! Zhou Chen swayed left and right, a large pullback after a back dribbling

! directly pulled the position of the two people for a distance

! When Ranbir was still not firmly established, Zhou Chen instantly cast a retreat step

! Zhang relaxed and powerful change of direction rhythm, directly swayed Ranbir to the ground

! And this shake is more than 2 meters away

! Zhou Chen is standing outside the three-point line at 45 degrees on the flank at this moment, and there is no one in front of him!

, Ranbir

was furious, and quickly wanted to get up from the ground to make up for defense

! But it was too late

! The moment Zhou Chen saw him get up, he leisurely shot the three-pointer! The

basketball cut a wonderful parabola in the air and fell straight into the net bag!

Ranbir

was severely humiliated by Zhou Chen again!

The official NBA commentator couldn't help but laugh out loud in the live broadcast:

"Zhou Chen

is Ranbil's nightmare!" "

I don't know how Ranbir feels sitting on the ground and looking at the condescending Zhou Chen!"

And just like that, in the jubilation at home, the first quarter of the game was over.

With Zhou Chen's late-minute three-pointer, the Lakers temporarily tied 21 with the Pistons!
