"Fuck!"
Blake Griffin was in a terrible mood at this moment.
Watching the Clippers celebrating their victory on the court, he felt an indescribable sensation in his heart.
Once upon a time, he was also the core player on whom the team's management placed high hopes, and he was the darling of Staples Center.
But all of this changed with Kai's arrival.
Perhaps many years later, Clippers fans will forget the glory Griffin once brought them.
But they will never forget that it was his trade that brought Kai Chen to the Clippers!
Griffin, who was interviewed by the media after the game, had completely lost his arrogance from before tipoff.
However, the reporters were too enthusiastic to refuse, so Griffin reluctantly said, "We were completely dominated by the Clippers from the very beginning, both offensively and defensively."
Just as Griffin said.
Today's game was set from the Clippers' opening 9:0 run.
The Orlando Magic had no rhythm on offense.
Apart from Griffin's dominant performance in the paint, showcasing his unparalleled talent, the rest of the players were off.
In contrast, the Clippers firmly controlled the tempo on both ends of the floor.
Wave after wave of fierce offense crashed down like a tide, leaving the Orlando Magic unable to resist by halftime and sealing their defeat.
So when Griffin was interviewed, he wore a bitter expression.
In the arena where he had played for eight years, he completely lost.
A random sense of unfamiliarity swept over him.
He was still the all-powerful Griffin, but the current Clippers were no longer the same as before!
"After losing to the Golden State Warriors in the last game, we made a lot of adjustments on the court!"
On the other side, Coach Rivers answered reporters very directly: "As you saw today, we will let Kai Chen control the rhythm of the game more in the future."
"I am the head coach off the court, and Kai is the coach on the court!"
Don't look at Kai as just a shooting guard right now.
Doc Rivers already intends to nurture Kai's ability to control the entire team.
He firmly believes that it won't be long before Kai Chen grows into a primary ball-handler like LeBron James.
Today's game was Doc Rivers' initial attempt to delegate power.
It seems the effect is very good!
Kai sometimes sped up, helping the team launch fast breaks and attack the rim.
Sometimes he slowed the pace, settling into half-court offense and transforming into an off-ball shooter to deliver a fatal blow.
Most importantly, Kai's one-on-one scoring ability was simply to powerful.
The constant tempo changes made it impossible for the Orlando Magic's defense to counter the Clippers' offense.
Doc Rivers' post-game remarks quickly caused a stir online.
Many fans debated whether Kai Chen could become a primary ball-handler like LeBron.
Some said:
"Kai Chen's scoring ability is already off the charts. If he adds LeBron's vision, he'll be the league's number one player!"
"If he becomes a true primary ball-handler, then Kai will be Jordan plus LeBron combined!"
Others said:
"You guys overestimate Kai. He just goes all out against weak teams!"
"That crushing loss to the Golden State Warriors is proof!"
"To become the league's number one player, Kai Chen must break up with Kendall!"
Of course, regarding this topic, Kai Chen gave his own answer during an interview on a TNT special program the next day.
"As long as I want to, I can become any type of player."
Facing Smith's question, Kai Chen shrugged. "Whether it's scoring or organizing the offense, I can do it."
"Moreover, I don't need the team to pair specific players with me."
"I'll use my own way to help the team win game after game!"
Kai Chen's words were strikingly similar to O'Neal's famous line about winning a championship even with his grandmother.
Many fans quickly turned it into a meme while watching the program online.
"I think Kai is hinting at someone!"
"No matter how strong he is, he can't overturn the Golden State Warriors and their five superstars!"
"Still, with the best record in the league, he's qualified to talk like that!"
"When it comes to showing off, if Kai is second, no one dares say they're first!"
Smith, who was interviewing Kai Chen, was also shocked by his boldness.
'Aren't you supposed to be humble?' he thought.
"Kai, this season you've played against many stars, such as LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant."
Taking advantage of the hype, Smith continued, "So where do you think you rank among them?"
Aside from the stimulant-using top pick Deandre Ayton, Kai Chen is definitely the hottest super rookie in the league right now.
The fact that countless teams have reportedly submitted trade requests to the Clippers says everything.
Many fans are also curious about how Kai ranks himself.
"I think I'm the best player in this league!"
When it comes to individual ability, Kai has absolute confidence.
"Although we lost to the Golden State Warriors a few days ago, that doesn't prove much."
"The season is long, and we'll play them three more times."
"In those three games, I'll prove I am!"
At the same time, in a luxurious villa on the outskirts of Oakland.
"What the fuck!?"
Draymond Green, watching the TNT program, couldn't help but curse.
After a few seconds of thought, he silently walked to his computer desk, put on his headphones, and started a Instagram live.
"This kid is definitely an idiot!"
Once the live stream stabilized, Draymond Green began ranting into the camera.
"I don't know who gave him the confidence. We just beat them at Oracle Arena."
"Damn it, just wait. In the next few games, I'm going to destroy you!"
After Draymond Green's rant ended, he and Kai Chen quickly topped trending searches across America.
The speed of American fans gossiping was comparable to anyone.
They flooded social media with their opinions.
"Kai is really showing off. I support Draymond to fucking destroy him!"
"Who gave this kid the confidence, who!?"
"He's too arrogant. Isn't there anyone who can humble Kai Chen?"
"So far this season, Kai is averaging 40.4 points, 5 rebounds, and 6.7 assists. With these numbers, you're saying he's not the league's number one player?"
"Based on current performance alone, Kai is absolutely number one!"
"Draymond, you clown, who do you think your talking to!?"
