Even though the game had ended, the fans' cheers lingered on.
"Kai Chen!!"
"Kai Chen!!"
"Kai Chen!!"
Nearly fourteen thousand fans remained in the arena after the game, chanting Kai's name!
He was the new hero of Staples Center!
Grayson Allen was the first to stand up, facing the fans who had yet to leave.
He gestured for their shouts to grow louder!
As Kai's most loyal teamate, Allen was even more excited today than Kai scoring 81 points.
Perhaps, following Kai Chen was the most important decision Grayson Allen had ever made in his life!
After Allen, Beverley and Carmelo also stood up, leading the entire arena in rhythmically chanting Kai's name.
What kind of scenes hadn't these old veterans witnessed!?
This was a single-game 81 points!
Looking back at the entire NBA history, only Wilt Chamberlain and Kobe Bryant had achieved it!
Now Kai Chen had joined them!
To be a witness and participant in such an unprecedented game, wasn't that also an honor?
"What are you saying? You want me to give Kai advice!?"
Since the entire Clippers team was celebrating Kai Chen, the Houston Rockets were the first to be interviewed by the media.
Hearing the reporter's question, James Harden was directly amused to the point of laughter: "Buddy, are you kidding me!?"
"He dropped 81 points on our heads!!"
You're telling me to give advice?
What advice?
Is 81 points not enough?
Should he break Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point record next time we meet??
Harden was only maintaining his composure; if it weren't for the cameras, he would have already cussed out this reporter until he bled from every orifice.
How could such a question even be asked!??
"James, you scored 62 points today, which is also a single-game scoring record for your career…."
"Enough, listen!"
Harden directly interrupted the questions from the other reporters: "Tonight, we got dismantled by Kai Chen. We'll see you next game in Houston!"
"It's that simple!"
After saying that, Harden decisively ended the interview and turned to walk into the player tunnel.
Even if Harden scored a career-high in this game, would the fans really care??
If it weren't for Kai's 81 points, perhaps he would have been celebrated.
But unfortunately, his 62 points were simply not worth mentioning in front of Kai!
It was precisely for this reason that Harden extended an invitation to Kai.
When they got to Houston, they would put everything aside and fight another battle!
"The opposing team has an extremely outstanding young leader. Kai Chen's performance is unbelievable!"
D'Antoni, who was interviewed next, uncharacteristically praised his opponent without reservation: "I have coached countless players with incredible talent."
"Steve Nash, Stoudemire, Chris Paul… and Kobe Bryant."
"Kai Chen's performance shows some similarities to theirs, but he is also different from all of them."
"Perhaps it's because he doesn't play for me."
Although they lost, D'Antoni still cracked a joke, causing the interviewing reporters to burst into laughter.
"Seriously, I think Kai will challenge Michael Jordan for the league's all-time greatest player in the future."
"I will wait for that day to come, and that day will definitely come!"
After saying that, D'Antoni revealed his signature smile, then turned and walked into the player tunnel.
With the Houston Rockets' interviews concluded, the Clippers' frenzy slightly subsided.
TV media such as TNT and ESPN surged towards the Clippers' bench like a tide.
"I think you all are mistaken!"
Grayson Allen, who was the first to be interviewed by the media, directly declared: "We defeated the Houston Rockets led by James Harden!"
"They have been the Golden State Warriors' nemesis for the past two seasons!"
"You're actually asking me if the process of winning wasn't as difficult as imagined!?"
Allen shook his head as he spoke: "To be honest, we didn't feel any pressure."
"We blew out the Houston Rockets, it's that simple!"
"You ask me why it's so simple!?"
"Because we have Kai!"
After saying that, Grayson Allen also smiled.
Obviously, his words, except for the last sentence, were all just talk.
Are you kidding!?
Do you really think the Houston Rockets are that easy to beat?
After all, they were the team that had endured the Warriors for two consecutive years in the playoffs!
Whether before the game or during the game, Allen felt immense pressure.
Especially when Kai Chen was already playing like crazy, the Houston Rockets still kept the score tight!
Fortunately, at a crucial moment in the fourth quarter, James Harden's shooting touch declined a bit, and Kai still maintained his scorching hot form.
Only then did the team win.
Following them, Carmelo, Doc Rivers, and others also accepted media interviews.
After the prelude ended.
The true protagonist was surrounded by spotlights!
"Kai, how does it feel to lead your team to victory over the Houston Rockets today!?"
"Kai, you scored 81 points today, successfully tying Kobe Bryant's scoring record. What do you have to say about that!?"
"Kai, your team's record still ranks first in the entire league!"
"Kai…"
Kai Chen was quite accustomed to the scene of various reporters scrambling to ask questions.
After all, these were just minor situations.
"First of all, what I want to say is that this is just a regular season game."
Facing the camera, Kai calmly stated: "No matter who our opponent is, my answer will be the same!"
"It is my honor to be able to tie Kobe Bryant's scoring record, but in the future, my scoring record will definitely be more than that!"
"Our current league-leading record perfectly matches our expectations. We will also be in this position at the end of the season!"
Kai answered the reporters' questions one after another with great composure, as if he was talking about the most ordinary things.
The interviewing reporters, on the other hand, looked bewildered.
What was Kai saying in that casual tone of his!
81 points was not his ultimate goal!
They would achieve the league's best record this season!
These two things, if they happened to anyone else, would be something to brag about for a year.
Yet, when it came to Kai, they were just casual mentions??
It must be said that having strength allows one to do whatever they want!
Of course, the reporters were bewildered, but they still published all the necessary headlines.
