Kai, as the person involved, did not pay attention to Draymond Green's taunts.
If he remembered correctly, the Golden State Warriors dynasty would come to an end this season.
Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals!
During a fast break, Klay Thompson fell to the ground after a successful dunk and never returned.
As he fell, Curry painfully threw the ball to the ground, then quietly sat at the other end of the court, his eyes revealing unwillingness and helplessness.
It was as if he was contemplating the answer to this game.
But perhaps the answer was already clear!
Without Durant and having lost Klay, the Golden State Warriors fighting to the last second earned everyone's respect.
Ultimately, the King of the North was crowned at Oracle Arena!
And the Golden State Warriors dynasty dreams also came to an end this season.
But no one would have thought that a few years later, Curry would lead the Golden Warriors back to the top of the league…
The next day, the Los Angeles Clippers, playing at home, welcomed the challenge from the Charlotte Hornets!
This season, the Charlotte Hornets remained lukewarm.
The team's only highlight was the signing of Dwight Howard, once the league's top center, in the free agency market.
However, in this game, Dwight Howard met his match.
The Los Angeles Clippers' aggressive double-team strategy made him very unhappy.
Just play basketball, what the f*ck is this, like a fight!?
In a normal offensive possession, Dwight Howard received the ball with his back to the basket in the low post, intending to overpower Lopez.
After continuous hard pushes, he turned for a hook shot, but it was blocked by Lopez's long arms.
"Aaahhh!!!!"
Not only that, after completing the block, Lopez also pounded his chest and roared in passionate celebration.
This further stimulated Dwight Howard's sensitive nerves!
In the next offensive possession, Howard demanded the ball in the low post, continuously elbowing Lopez with small movements, preparing to overpower his defender and shoot a layup.
"Bang!"
However, just as Howard turned and shot with a small movement, a pair of merciless large hands instantly flew out, fiercely swatting his shot basketball into the second-floor stands!
"It's Kai Chen! He blocked Howard's layup!"
"Well done! That's how you do it to him! Los Angeles never needs such a coward!"
"Are the referees blind? Howard's elbow was so obvious, and they didn't call it??"
"That's it! Keep locking down Howard! Let him know Los Angeles doesn't need him at all!"
Cheers erupted from the fans on the sidelines.
Ever since the 2014 offseason, when Howard disregarded the pleas of Los Angeles fans and joined the Houston Rockets, he became an enemy of this city.
And some of Howard's subsequent remarks in public settings even crossed the bottom line of some people.
"Motherf*ck!"
After completing the block, Kai directly glared at Howard.
Howard, likewise, glared back at Kai Chen.
"Put away your dirty little tricks!"
After saying this, Kai turned and returned to his assigned player.
"What!??"
Howard found it amusing.
A rookie dared to talk smack??
Could he tolerate this???
The Charlotte Hornets inbounded the ball, and Howard once again took the ball with his back to the basket in the low post.
With the same iron elbow swing, he pushed away Lopez, exploded with both feet, and attempted a powerful dunk!!
"Boom!"
To Howard's bewilderment, the moment he turned to dunk, Kai Chen once again came over to help defend from the front, raising a single palm to the sky, and heavily slapped the basketball!
Immediately after, a scene that stunned the entire Staples Center occurred!
Howard, who was dunking with both hands with all his might, was directly blocked by Kai with one hand and fell to the ground in a very comical posture!
The referee on the sideline had no intention of blowing the whistle, because on this play, Kai palm was completely on the basketball, and his lower body movements were also very clean!
Did you think that was it??
With 2 seconds left until halftime, everyone was waiting for the halftime break to relax, when Kai quietly motioned to Lopez to inbound the ball directly to him.
Although Lopez didn't know what Kai Chen was going to do, after all, there were only 2 seconds left.
But he still chose to trust him!
"Bang!"
With the basketball in his hands, Kai looked up at the time on the scoreboard.
After confirming the time, Kai accelerated, dribbling quickly to near the half-court line, and under the bewildered gaze of all the fans, he suddenly shot!
"Beep!!"
The next moment, the red light signaling the end of the half lit up on the edges of both baskets.
Under the gaze of all the fans, the basketball thrown by Kai arced across most of the court, hit the back rim, and rolled into the net!
"Oh, my God!!!"
Immediately after, the entire Staples Center erupted!
Almost all the fans, including the Clippers' bench preparing to leave, jumped up in unison.
The Clippers Fans, led by Grayson Allen, rushed towards Kai Chen!
After a brief celebration, just as Kai Chen was about to walk towards the player tunnel on the other side.
He and Howard met face to face. The latter had clearly prepared, using his left shoulder to suddenly ram into Kai.
"Sh*t!"
The unprepared impact made him take a step back, but he maintained his composure and did not go up to argue with Howard.
Kai didn't care, but that didn't mean the Clippers players behind him didn't care.
Howard, who had only walked a few steps, was still secretly pleased with his little trick.
"Uh oh~"
The next moment, a cry of surprise came from his mouth.
The Clippers players, led by Beverley and Carmelo, similarly retaliated against him.
The scene quickly devolved into chaos, with both teams' players swiftly joining the fray.
Eventually, under the referee's mediation, both returned to their respective locker rooms.
And Kai, merely glanced back, shrugged, and nonchalantly walked towards the locker room.
Ultimately, the Charlotte Hornets did not cause too much trouble for the Los Angeles Clippers.
Howard, known for his fiery temper, met the Clippers, who were fierce and spoke little, today.
Howard could only grudgingly settle the matter.
Because today, Kai delivered 6 blocks alone, setting a new career high for himself.
His all-around performance of 40+8+7+6+3 left the Charlotte Hornets with no complaints!
"Dwight Howard, through his bloody lesson, told us not to provoke Kai!"
"Yes, not only can you not provoke Kai Chen, but you also can't mess with the entire Clippers team!"
After defeating the Charlotte Hornets, the Clippers, led by Kai, have now secured their twelfth victory of the season.
Their record of 12-1 also keeps them leading the league.
