King of Basketball

148 2008, this ecstatic January

Zero o'clock was coming, and all the people who were still alive gathered in the square. Zhang Chen hasn't seen so many people together for several years. He is really not used to it.

Everyone is counting down: "60...50...40...30...20..." The sound surged, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!!!" After shouting, everyone applauded together.

That's how 2008 comes.

Nina beside her put her hands together and lowered her head, as if she were making a wish. Zhang Chen looked at her in a daze. The night wind lifted her straight hair. Her exquisite face was shining brightly, as beautiful as a totem.

The New Year's Eve bells are still lingering in my ears, and people in the square are very excited. Zhang Chen was even a little surprised that there was nothing to be excited about such a special kind of people, but it was also acceptable to think that the days were too boring to find some spiritual comfort.

Nina lowered her head in the crowd and kissed her closed hands. Zhang Chen didn't know what she meant by doing this. Under the light, Zhang Chen clearly saw the fading sadness and the slowly outlined smile on her face. Zhang Chen felt inexplicably happy, but Zhang Chen did not question whether Nina had recovered from her sadness. She maintained that posture for more than three minutes and seemed a little out of place in the happy crowd.

Zhang Chen didn't know what to do for a long time... After thinking about it, he stretched out his trembling right hand and gently patted her on the shoulder. At this moment, Zhang Chen suddenly wanted to let her know his existence.

After about five minutes, Nina put away her hands, turned her head, and said with a trace of trembling in her clear eyes, "Chen, thank you for making me happy tonight. Can I hug you... I know you Orientals may not be used to this, but I want to show my Thank you."

Zhang Chen was slightly stunned for about two seconds, and then suddenly reacted and said, "Of course..."

Nina leaned over carefully, gently hugged Zhang Chen's waist, and leaned her head over. Zhang Chen was stunned, and still stretched out his hands and gently surrounded her back.

Nina's body came a faint sweet but not greasy fragrance. Zhang Chen knew that this did not belong to any perfume known in the world, but should be Nina's innate body fragrance.

Zhang Chen and Nina hugged gently in the square, breathing the air in the early morning of the first day of the New Year, with a little humidity and coolness of midnight. They didn't hold each other for a long time. Zhang Chen's eyes closed involuntarily, the light of the street lamp shining on his head, and the people around him were getting farther and farther away from them. At this moment, there seemed to be only two people hugging each other in the world.

"Thank you, Chen... I should go back." Nina left Zhang Chendi's arms and then smiled at him.

Zhang Chen nodded and suddenly felt a little empty in his heart. Then he suddenly remembered something and said, "I'll see you off."

Nina nodded in agreement: "Thank you."

The car slowly flew forward. Zhang Chen drove steadily on this road, and the street lights on both sides kept retreating in sight. Zhang Chen has been sending Nina to her residence, looking at her back gradually disappearing in the light.

I accidentally glanced at the rearview mirror, and Zhang Chen saw his ignorant smiling face on it.

————Back to his residence, Zhang Chen's first thing was to comb his face and hair, then wash and lie in ** to start this day's training.

The Suns will go away tomorrow to challenge the 76ers again.

In the first month of 2008, Zhang Chen spent it in such a competition.

On January 28, 2008, Zhang Chen opened the door and walked in and fell into **. He didn't want anything. They lost to the Hornets away today, which is their last away game this month.

These days, Zhang Chendan is almost broken by the continuous away games. He often has to live a wandering life on the plane. He is really a little afraid.

The continuous away game made his body fall into an extremely tired state. Every time he returned from such an away trip, Zhang Chen had to sleep hard, and it was the same today.

Frowing down on **, Zhang Chen slept soundly.

Since this month, Zhang Chen has been patiently honing his speed in the training space every day. After this month of realistic virtual two-pronged training, Zhang Chen's speed level has climbed from level 3 to level 5, and level 5 has also accumulated a lot of experience.

And the big dog released in the space is becoming more and more fierce, and the speed exercise training intensity outside the field is getting higher and higher, but Zhang Chen still gritted his teeth and persisted.

I'm used to biting my teeth, and I've survived this month.

What surprised Zhang Chen's most is his talent to adapt to surname training. After a month of combined practice of that set of movements, Zhang Chendi's physical fitness is now much better.

"OH... Chen... I want you to tell me seriously again, are you really 19 years old? Are you sure you are not a five-year-old child? Allen, the team's trainer, looked surprised and sighed, mixed with a lot of disbelief.

Zhang Chen has explained this question for the fifth time: "Hey... Do I look so young? Much like a five-year-old child?"

Allen spread out his hands in surprise: "So why is your strength practice progressing so quickly? Oh, my God... It's a miracle. You really don't look like a 19-year-old guy."

"Is 19 years old?"

"I'm relative to your power progress speed... Chen, listen to me, the most surprising thing is that your talent has begun to grow... This is simply unheard of. Seriously, I kind of got you to the American Abnormal Human Research Center for Slicing Research."

Rub~~ Every time he heard this sentence, Zhang Chen fled and sighed that Muxiu would be destroyed by the forest wind.

Zhang Chen's fastest progress is not his strength, but his speed. In the past month, although the outside team has not responded much to this. Because Zhang Chen's running position has always been very windy. Although Zhang Chen's speed helped him run more, no one was too surprised.

However, the players of the Suns are different. They can intuitively see the progress of Zhang Chen's speed. From the thin and tall guy who has just joined the team to a person who is much stronger and faster and faster, they are all in their eyes.

D'Antoni expressed his appreciation for Zhang Chen in front of the media more than once: "He is a hard-working player. He can know when and what he should do... He is a very qualified player, and every time he can see him practicing in the stadium. Moreover, he has been making progress, which is unbelievable. I mean, his progress has exceeded our expectations.

"OH... I can only say that he works much harder than my rookie season. You know that God always likes people who work hard, so he has achieved much more than my rookie season." Nash is also praising Zhang Chen to the media.

Praise Zhang Chendi not only these two people, but also Xiao Si: "Chen is a very good rookie. He is always polite, which is the same as his ball skills, which makes people very comfortable."

In January, the rookie of the league was much more popular by Zhang Chen.

This season, his three-point shooting rate reached 61.4%, and his two-point shooting rate reached 58.7%. These two data are not only to kill all rookies, but also to kill all active players in the league.

Under such a high shooting rate, Zhang Chen's average score this month also rose to 19.7 points, becoming the team's second scorer in the mainland. At the same time, he also climbed to the rookie's monthly average score, and Durant's 21 points still beat him.

This month, a new round of disputes about the best rookie began. To be honest, Zhang Chen is indeed a little worse than Durant compared with the data, but when it comes to the hit rate, Durant can't catch up with Zhang Chen.

In December, Zhang Chen won the best rookie of the league month, which surprised everyone, and the domestic media even exaggerated it. This month, the question about who deserves the best rookie of the month, Zhang Chen and Durant, began to be on the table again.

The Phoenix fan newspaper said: "I think Zhang Chen should be the best rookie of the month. Everyone knows how Kevin's data came from. His average score of 21 points per game was exchanged for a 43% hit rate. But when we turn our eyes to Chen, we will find that his hit rate is as high as 61.4% and 58.7%. It has to be said that this should be an unprecedented data achievement. Compared with the efficiency of the two of them, you will find out who you should vote for the best rookie.

Thomas, a columnist of Phoenix Fan Network, also maintains this point of view: "Chen should have won this award indisputably. His hit rate has exceeded everyone's expectations of him, and his efficiency is also at the top of the league. We can't ignore the efforts of such a great guy. We should turn our eyes to his strengths, instead of saying something bad about him all day long. We should give young people more tolerance and opportunities. Their performance can surprise us.

Of course, if there is light, there is darkness, and if there is support, there is opposition. Among them, the Washington Post's opposition to Zhang Chen is still relatively sharp. They wrote in the newspaper: "For Chen's performance, maybe his hit rate is relatively high, and his score is also very good, but we must also see a Some truths hidden behind gorgeous data! You should know that our criteria for selecting the best rookie is not based on his data and his shooting percentage. We should also look at his comprehensive performance. Kevin has done a good job in this regard. He can shoot and break through the score... But let's take a look at Chen's performance... What a pity, the breakthrough only accounts for 0.2% of his scoring method is really a surprising figure. In this regard, we don't have any reason to make him the best rookie.

This guy's remarks were also opposed, but he raised a more useful question for Zhang Chen: Zhang Chen really seems to have no means of attack except shooting!

In a moment, the discussion about Zhang Chendi has entered a new stage.
