162 stars shining

Zhang Chen was shocked by the sudden appearance of the person, but after he looked at the man's smile carefully, his heart suddenly lit up and said with a little doubt, "Yi Key Connection? ...Hello, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Yi Jian smiled and said, "It's really a coincidence. I didn't expect it either. I thought I wouldn't see you until the evening.

Can you see me at night? Zhang Chen had a little question in his heart: "Why can you see me at night?"

"Later later, Mr. Yao may come to you. There will be a self-service dinner of 'China Night' on the first night after the rookie challenge. At that time, as one of the best rookies this year, you will naturally have to attend." Yi Jianlian's face was a very warm smile. In a foreign country, he suddenly saw a person with yellow skin and black eyes like himself and was still working in the common alliance. Yi Jianlian and Zhang Chen felt very good.

Zhang Chen nodded. He also heard that there would be such an activity. Thinking that he should be able to see the current first person in Chinese basketball at night, Zhang Chen was also a little excited.

It was not until this time that Yi Jianlian saw Avril Lavigne standing next to Zhang Chen. Seeing her soft blonde hair and her face that only showed the corners of her mouth, Yi Jianlian suddenly reacted, "Is this Avril..." He asked so loudly. Fortunately, the two people's opinion has always been talking in Chinese, and Avril can't listen. Understand these words.

Yi Jianlian said as he changed into the funny smile at the corners of Xiao Si's mouth. Zhang Chen quickly explained, "Yes, she is Avril, but our relationship is very pure... It's not what the newspaper said."

Yi Jianlian smiled meaningfully: "It's very pure... I know... hey hey."

Zhang Chen was speechless for a while. His relationship with Avril was really rendered by the media and other things. At that time, if the media found that Avril appeared on the sidelines of the rookie challenge, they would guess with their buttocks and knew who she was going for.

After Yi Jianlian said this sentence, he felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time and said, "Then I told you!" See you tonight!"

"Well, see you at night..." However, Zhang Chen looked at Yi Jianlian's face as if he was very sensible, and his face suddenly turned black again.

"Hey, Chen, you have so many friends..." Lavigne said.

Zhang Chen smiled awkwardly: "I can only say that the world is really too small."

The two continued to go shopping and walked forward. After buying some souvenirs, the two made an appointment to meet at the rookie challenge, and then went home separately.

————Back to the outside of his room, Zhang Chen just took out the key and was ready to open the door when he was patted on the shoulder. Zhang Chen turned around and saw Xiao Si's angry expression on his face.

"Cough...hehe." Zhang Chen seemed a little incoherent: "Amale, what's the matter with you?"

Little Si's nostrils are facing the sky: "I think you should understand why I'm looking for you."

Zhang Chen quickly pretended to be confused: "What's the matter? I don't know at all!"

Xiao Si was furious: "I just want to know where you went today and who you are dating!"

SHIT! Zhang Chen roared angrily in his heart and then said, "I'm really just going out to see a friend... Believe it or not!" When Xiao Si was about to continue to ask, a very generous voice came over: "Hey, Amarley... You're here too..."

Zhang Chen secretly shouted a fluke. Just as he wanted to escape, he saw the man named Amarley, and he didn't leave for a moment.

The person in front of him is wearing a straight suit, quite tall, almost one head taller than Xiao Si, and he has the same skin and hair as Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen understood in an instant, so he asked tentatively, "Yao~~" After that, he didn't know how to continue. After all, it was impolite to call his name directly. He was almost ten years younger than Yao Ming.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chen had to use the same name as Yi Jianlian: "Mr. Yao~~?"

Xiao Si was also saying hello to Yao Ming, but Xiao Si left without saying much, because he knew that Yao Ming was probably here to find Zhang Chen. Moreover, there was still indescribable embarrasment between him and Yao Ming, and he left in a hurry.

"Hello, Zhang Chen..."

"Hello, Boss Yao... I heard Brother Lian call you that, so I called him. Do you mind?"

Yao Ming smiled generously and said, "Of course I don't mind. Let's go into the room and talk about it."

Zhang Chen nodded and opened his door. The two of them opened the door and walked in. There is nothing in Zhang Chendi's house, but the house is still relatively comfortable. After all, New Orleans can't lose face in front of other teams.

Yao Ming sat casually on the sofa after entering the door. Zhang Chen poured him a glass of water and then sat down opposite him.

"It seems that Xiaoyi has met you?" Yao Ming picked up the water cup and asked casually.

"Yes, we happened to meet on the street during the day. It's a coincidence."

Yao Ming nodded and said, "Today I'm here mainly to tell you two things. By the way, I know you. There are only three of us playing in the NBA now, so we must be united."

"Of course! In a foreign country, facing those blonde and blue-eyed foreigners all day long, of course, we need to unite. Boss Yao, I have watched many of your games before. To be honest, it is because of your existence that Chinese basketball can continue to develop and make fans have more expectations. To tell you the truth, even now, you are one of my favorite NBA stars.

Yao Ming waved his hand and looked a little shy: "Don't praise me!" Sugar-coated cannonballs, in fact, you are the most promising among the three of us now. In the past half of the rookie season, you have an average of 18 points per game, and there is such a terrible hit rate. There are often countless limelight around you, and your positioning in the Suns is becoming more and more important... Seriously, you just need to work hard. One, to get up your physical fitness, not to mention becoming a superstar, it is also easy to become a first-class star.

Zhang Chen smiled, but he was not too modest. In fact, he didn't care about the words of first-class stars in the long run. His goal can only be superstars. Thinking of this, he said, "Let's not flatter each other... Boss Yao, you'd better get to business."

Yao Ming nodded and said, "Well, after your rookie challenge is over, we will have a Chinese night self-service dinner that night, which is held by the league. In fact, now they like to please Chinese fans... Remember to come at that time. Ah... By the way, prepare a program... singing and so on."

"Ah?! ~" Hearing this sentence, Zhang Chen was immediately shocked: "Singing?! Boss Yao, this is hard for a strong man! ~I don't know anything about singing."

Yao Ming smiled and said, "Then you can be arranged to change the program. You can dance, dance national dance and so on."

"Then I'd better sing..." Zhang Chen said in frustration.

Yao Ming said, "That's a deal. I'll call you at that time. The three of us will attend the party together. The second thing is that you know that the Olympic Games are about to be held. The national team has an idea that you can return to China to participate in training after the end of the season."

This is the big news!

The national team probably sent Yao Ming as a lobbyist. Zhang Chen picked up a water glass on the table, took a gentle sip, and said, "It's right to contribute to the country, Boss Yao. If this matter is only from my perspective, I will definitely agree without hesitation. It's just that you know that this kind of thing often involves many inextricably linked aspects, so you just let me think about it, okay?

Yao Ming took a deep look at him and said, "Okay... Then I'll wait for your good news. To be honest, the Chinese team needs a player like you who can kill the opponent coldly at a critical moment.

Zhang Chen knows that this Olympic Games is an important surname for Chinese people. The holding of the Yanjing Olympic Games is a matter for Chinese people, but... If you agree so rashly, many things will be hard to say.

This matter involves a lot. After all, he is now a rookie, and his every move often has a lot of impact. If he participates in the Olympic Games, he must have a certain identity and cannot be refuted. However, now when he sees that it is only Yao Minglai's words, he is uncertain. Who knows what the attitude of the Basketball Association is? If you don't pay attention to yourself at all, you are just looking for trouble when you go there. You should know that there are many factions in the national team. It's unwise for you to go back like this.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Mr. Yao... Can you give me a thorough analysis? ~~ The national team asked you to invite me. Is it the whole power for you to be responsible for this matter, or what?

Yao Ming thought for a moment and understood Zhang Chen's worries, so he was relieved and said, "Don't worry!" They just asked me to mention this matter to you a little bit. Look at your attitude. Of course, there will be a formal invitation.

When Zhang Chen heard this, he was relieved and said, "Well, I'll discuss it with my agent. In fact, I also want to go back to participate in this once-in-a-century event for Chinese people and make some contribution to the motherland."

"I'm relieved to have your words." Yao Ming said jokingly, "You are a popular person now. Many places want to find you, and even our boss is interested in you."

Rocket?! ~ Zhang Chen immediately turned pale: "Well... Well, Boss Yao, no, please tell your boss that I'm doing very well with the Suns..."

Next, the two talked about some common things, some experience of surviving in the NBA, and the experience of dealing with reporters. It was not until dinner in the afternoon that Yao Ming called Yi Jianlian. The three found a place to have a casual meal, and finally Yao Ming paid for it.

--After separating from Yao Ming and others, Zhang Chen once again entered the learning space.

In the past few days, the speed experience bar of the sixth level has risen a lot (this is just the author's statement. This is a learning space rather than an online game. The dividing line between each level will not be so obvious. Moreover, Zhang Chen is a person, he is not a data, and his performance depends more on the impact of some status and other things. ） The next day, the rookie team began their first training in the nearby New Orleans University Arena. After all, this is just a hasty team. It is absolutely impossible to say how much tacit understanding there is between them.

The lineups of the two sides of this year's Rookie Challenge are:

Rookie Team: First Grade Team: Durant (Supersonics), Zhang Chen (Suns), Horford (Eagle), Noa (Bulls), Sean? Williams (net team), Scola (Rocket), Yi Jianlian (Blows), Conliwei (Grizzlies), Navarro (Grizzlies).

The rookies in the first grade don't have much characteristics, but their backcourt combination is quite awesome. The combination of Zhang Chen and Durant will inevitably encounter some problems in the distribution of ball rights, but in the same way, the backcourt combination of the two of them will definitely make many teams fall under their feet.

The lineup of the second-grade team is: Roy (Bailors), Aldridge (Bailors), Bagnani (Raptors), Brewer (Jazz), Millsap (Jazz), Famar point guard (Lakers), Guy (Grizzlies), Gibson (Knights), Ron (Celtic).

The lineup of the second-grade team is more insightful. The second-grade team has a strong backcourt composed of Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy, Celtic's three royal guard Rondo, the center position is the champion Show Baganni, and the power forward position is this year's pioneer Aldridge (when The pioneers exchanged Tyrus Thomas for this Rashid Wallace II. This deal is worth it. Look, Thomas is now just a bull, which belongs to the same type as Joginoa who has been in a few years, but Noa has a better defense, and the two are still competing for playing time.) The position of the small forward is the reconstruction of the Grizzlies. Shi, Rudy Gay (now a standard small forward with an average of 19.8 points and 6 boards per game, with excellent physical quality. This year's technical progress is obvious, and the psychological quality is much more mature. In the first half of the regular season, there are many good scenes of three points before the final game).

The strong backcourt composed of Rolo and Roy is definitely an all-star configuration for any team in the league.

In comparison, Zhang Chen and Conley's backfield combination may be slightly inferior. Although Zhang Chen and Durant are now playing in the position of shooting guard, compared with the height and physical quality of Zhang Chen and Durant, Durant will definitely be pushed to the position of small forward.

However, the game often depends on the specific situation. Some people just like to create miracles that seem impossible to complete.

The training was about to begin, and everyone came one after another. Noa came to Zhang Chen excitedly: "Hey! Chen! I see! Since you had an affair with Lavigne, you must have been dating yesterday." You finally understand..." Zhang Chen looked up to the sky and sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say so: "I have to say, Qiao Jin, you're wrong! We really just met by chance yesterday... We didn't even know each other."

Noah nodded to show his understanding. At this time, someone called him, and he left.

When Zhang Chen turned his head, he saw Durant.

Durant has a long figure, which is slightly thin and thin. When Zhang Chen turned his head, he was tying his right leg with a shoelace. In the past, Zhang Chen often became a person compared with Durant, and so did Durant, and the media's soaring of the two people was also quite fierce.

Durant looked up and saw Zhang Chen. Their eyes collided in the air, and Zhang Chen smiled at Durant first.

In return for the favor, Durant also smiled at Zhang Chen and nodded: "Hello, Chen..."

"Hello, Kevin... We will fight side by side tomorrow. I think we should do something good."

"Of course... We have a guy with an incredibly high hit rate!" Durant is obviously praising Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen basically confirmed that his relationship with Durant could never become the kind of tension depicted in the media. They were originally in the same grade, and there could be no hatred.

Tomorrow, we will fight against the powerful sophomore team. Everyone will start the team, and then the head coach will make a speech before training above:

"Guys! Hello! Maybe you've heard of me. I'm your coach - Chris? Paul (Sorry, I forgot that the respective coaches that year couldn't find it... Just catch Paul's strong man), you know that we will face a very strong team. They have a group of strong people... At the same time, they also have a brutal coach..."

The coach of the second-grade team is James. When everyone heard that Paul called him a brutal coach, everyone smiled kindly when they thought that Paul and James were more famous friends.

"However, naturally we won't admit defeat... Because we have a group of good players, especially, we also have a pretty good coach..." Paul paused here: "As long as we can unite and mobilize everyone's potential and tacit understanding in today's and tomorrow's training. Then you will find that it is not difficult to defeat your opponent!"

"Victory!" Everyone shouted loudly.

Next, the first-grade rookie team began today's training. Paul's training content is not much, and his tactics are not much, mainly to train the cooperation between Conley and others in the backcourt.

Paul, who fought with the Suns, knew about Zhang Chen's horrible shooting, so his positioning and requirements for Zhang Chen have completely become a mobile turret, which refers to where to hit.

It is naturally impossible to have a lot of tacit understanding after a day of training, but Zhang Chen was surprised to get an air relay, which made him feel quite incredible.

The ball was in a group match. Zhang Chen and his team quickly went down, and then Zhang Chen suddenly felt that there should be someone there, so he threw the basketball into the sky outside the basket. Then, Noa's figure appeared directly in front of the basket and hit a dunk.

It's amazing!

Zhang Chen felt that his passing was completely just a piece of hand, but he didn't expect that he had such a great effect.
