It turned out that there are still so many people who can remember my birthday... Zhang Chen said in his heart, and then opened the last unread text message. The name on it was Liu Xuan: "Birth is happy... Don't wonder why I know your birthday... You know that I am always mysterious like my name."

Zhang Chen shook his head and smiled. He knew that he was not lonely, and he must not be.

I saw the blessing text messages from these people. Although they didn't mean to give themselves gifts, Zhang Chen also felt that his heart was warm now.

At this time, the mobile phone in his hand buzzed again. Zhang Chen looked at the text message and it turned out to be Lena's. Zhang Chen had already guessed in his heart that it must be Lena who didn't know from which channel she was born and sent a text message to congratulate her.

Open the text message and take a look. The content above is what Zhang Chen is looking forward to. The above said that Zhang Chen should go to Lena and Sean at five o'clock in the evening. They have something to tell Zhang Chen.

"It's impossible for everyone in the world to know your life~~" Zhang Chen said with some self-deprecating. Then, he put down his mobile phone and cooked his own food again. When the vegetables were overflowing, he served it and ate well by himself.

After eating, Zhang Chen had no plans for his itinerary, so he had to wander outside and found that he really had nothing to do. In the end, he could only hit himself on the head like a complaint, and then he had to rush to the stadium as if he accepted his fate.

However, on the way, the mobile phone in my pocket rang again. This time it was a phone call.

"Hey, hello, I'm Zhang Chen..."

"Hello, I'm Corey from the Nike branch. Do you have time now? We would like to invite you to the Phoenix branch for a while. We have something to discuss.

"Okay... I'll be there in 20 minutes."

Zhang Chen hung up the phone and immediately stepped on the accelerator and ran to the Nike company's branch in Phoenix. He entered the hall and explained that he was the department who let himself go in to find him. The doorman quickly let himself in.

I found the old man named Corey. The man who came to Zhang Chen actually brought money for Zhang Chen. It was a bonus for Zhang Chen's excellent performance in the All-Star Game. The bonus was 30,000 US dollars, which was also a good number.

Zhang Chen didn't expect there to be such a welfare. He is a little excited now. After all, money is not overwhelm.

Then, Corey quickly talked about other things. They wanted to renew their contract with Zhang Chen and signed a contract with Zhang Chen for 7 million US dollars for three years. Zhang Chen hurriedly thanked him and said that he wanted his agent to talk about this matter. In fact, he was not interested in talking about it at all, because he knew that it would not take long. As long as it was a year later, he would never be a thing in the pool.

Corey politely sent Zhang Chen out of the hall. Zhang Chen politely declined his request to invite him to dinner and came to the door. Corey said again, "Chen... I think you can consider my suggestion... You know that a player's career may not always be smooth... A contract is right. For a player, it is another guarantee of life... In fact, this contract price is already very good..."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice... But you know I don't want to sign this contract so early. Besides, this kind of thing should also be discussed by my agent, right?"

"Okay... It's a pity that we could have cooperated."

Zhang Chen smiled dewdly: "We may have another opportunity to cooperate next year."

"Hmm?"

"Let's talk about it next year!" After saying this, Zhang Chen said goodbye to him, and then came to the stadium to participate in the training of the day. The teammates really had an indescribable feeling about this guy.

Basically, many people try to avoid training, and often use their time to deal with their own private affairs, or to play in the mountains and rivers. Among them, Xiao Si plays a great leading role. No one saw anyone like Zhang Chen. He asked for leave and had some time to run to the stadium.

After the training, Zhang Chen saw that there was a good time left. He changed into his clothes and rushed to the place where he had talked to Lena. Along the way, the car stopped outside the agreed place in the roar.

Zhang Chen has never been here. He came to the address of the agreed room and knocked on the door, and soon someone knocked on the door.

As soon as the door was opened, I saw a black light in the room. Then, a green flashlight shone on a pale and scary face, penetrating a creepy light.

"Ah~!" Zhang Chen was so scared that he took a few steps back and almost fell downstairs. Then, he remembered Sean's proud smile.

Zhang Chen was shocked, but when he heard this familiar laughter, he suddenly understood and his anger exploded. However, when he wanted to go in and teach Sean a lesson, his thighs were shaking.

"Hey... Sean, what are you doing..." Lena's voice sounded: "Why did you suddenly turn off the light?"

Sean smiled and resisted Zhang Chen's anger. The two of them fought together in hip-hop.

Lena heard from the sound that Zhang Chen was coming. She simply didn't turn on the light, but lit the candle on the table. In a short moment, an orange candlelight lit up in the room and soon shone warmly on the person.

He put down Sean's right hand and hit him on his forehead again while he was not paying attention. The little guy was swung strangely, and Zhang Chen had already walked over. Then I saw a huge cake on it. On the white tabb, the cake was completely arranged, with twenty small candles on it.

"I wish you a happy life... I wish you a happy life..." Sean also pushed his wheelchair over and clapped his hands and sang with Lena. Suddenly, the room was warm.

Zhang Chen didn't know why Lena came to him, but now he has fully understood that they were going to live for themselves.

Zhang Chen has never thought about how they knew what they were born, and his heart was indeed full of emotion. Looking at the two people who were singing to themselves with a smile, Zhang Chen was a little intoxicated for a moment.

"Chen... Make a wish..." Lena's sweet voice sounded in Zhang Chen's ear. Zhang Chen walked over, put his hands together, and made a wish devoutly in his heart.

"I hope I have a bright career. I hope that the people around me can live happily..." Zhang Chenxu was wronged, and his quite good lung capacity made him blow out all the candles in one breath.

The light turned on again, and in front of him was a cream cake poking some candles, and two people were smiling. There was a burst of warmth in Zhang Chen's heart. At this moment, Sean next to him said, "Chen, tell me... What wish did you make?"

Sean shook Zhang Chen's arm eagerly. Zhang Chen smiled and said, "My wish is to let the Great Devil catch you, abominable guy."

The two laughed again, and Lena stopped them loudly: "We can start eating cake now... Chen, come and cut the cake!" When Zhang Chen heard this, he walked over strangely and began to cut the cake. In fact, it was impossible for three people to finish the cake.

Although this cake is not high-end, it can be seen that its value is not too low. Thinking about Lena's usual savings for this welfare home, Zhang Chen felt a little guilty for a while. At the same time, he began to ask about Lena's life, and then he had to return it.

After cutting the cake, what everyone has to do is to eat a little and then apply it to the other party. Unfortunately, Sean lost his legs and his movement dropped a lot. Zhang Chen and Lena tacitly did not escape the range that Sean could not reach.

Zhang Chen scratched his hand on Lena's face. He was taking revenge for what he had just been painted. However, when his fingers felt the refreshing and smoothness on Lena's face, an electric current suddenly flowed down from the fingertips of his right hand and soon invaded his limbs.

For a moment, Zhang Chen was suddenly stunned and was successfully attacked by Sean, and his face soon became a big face.

--"Okay... Now it's over about the cake!!" Lena's face was smeared with a lot of cream, and now it looks even more messy and thrilling. After several people cleaned it, Lena's beautiful face reappeared, boundless and beautiful.

When Zhang Chen was washing his hands, he looked at the room for the first time. Lena's room was very tidy, and every place was cleaned by a careful girl. However, there was a kind of simplicity that was completely different from her identity.

Yes, the girl's room is very simple, and there is no demeanor of a member of the business empire family. Looking at some photos of Lena and children hanging next to her living room, Zhang Chen's heart is full of respect.

This girl actually gave up the kind of material life of nourishing and living, silently did what she could do for this society, and proved the belief in her heart without asking for anything in return. Isn't such a Christian is much better than those who search for money in the cloak of religion?

Zhang Chen returned to the place where he had just eaten the cake with them. He saw that some dishes were now placed on the table where the cake had just been placed. The tableware, knives and forks were all arranged.

"You did it..." Zhang Chen asked Lena in disbelief.

Lena smiled and nodded and said, "Come and eat quickly... Otherwise, you will taste the terrible taste of cold food." Zhang Chen suddenly saw a plate of dishes on it. He was immediately surprised and said, "Lena, can you still cook Chinese food?"

Lena smiled shyly: "I won't. I just found the recipe from the Internet and made it myself. Maybe it will taste strange."

Zhang Chen walked over and tasted it. While saying that it was not surprising, his heart had been wrapped in a completely warm feeling. The girl treats herself sincerely without hesitation, and she is careful enough to care about people from some details.

What a nice girl!

Zhang Chen ate this meal with relish. Although the plate of fish-flavored shredded pork was indeed a little out of place made by Lena, the western food made by Lena himself tasted quite excellent. Zhang Chen's index finger moved greatly and quickly swept away the things in front of him with Sean.

Lena wanted to clean up the plates. Zhang Chen quickly went up to help her. Lena did not refuse. The two came to the kitchen all the way, and then began to clean the plates with the water in the kitchen.

"Lena, thank you and Sean for everything I have done for me today... Thank you so much. You know I don't have many friends in this city. To be honest, I didn't expect anyone to think of my life."

Lena smiled and said, "It doesn't matter... Aren't we friends? As for your birth, I wrote it down the last time you donated to us, and it contains all the information about the donor.

What a very careful girl. Zhang Chen told her something else, and the bowl was washed soon.

Walking out of the hall again, Sean was sitting on the sofa watching TV. It happened to be a basketball program. There were many wonderful highlights of Zhang Chen. Looking at Zhang Chen beautifully putting the basketball into the basket again and again, Lena suddenly had a dreamy feeling. The teenager who danced gently on the basketball court and was angry. Unexpectedly, he sat next to himself now, with a quiet face and faded the halo on his head. This is a teenager who has just reached the age of 20. He has a very quiet surname.

It was already ten o'clock at night. Zhang Chen found that he had an indescribable attachment to Lena's simple and even simple little house. Reluctantly, he reluctantly started the car and took Sean to the night sky.

When he re-entered the learning space, his speed was about to break through the shackles of level six and reach level 7. After reaching level 7, it will be a new situation to welcome him. At that time, his speed will increase again, and it will not be too weak to come to the NBA.

When he was at level 6, he could occasionally contribute a few flash breakthroughs. It can be imagined that if his speed reaches level 7, it should be a new situation to meet him.

In a good mood, Zhang Chen came out of the learning space, and his body is recovering at an amazing speed.

Every time you just come out of the learning space, your body has the sense of fatigue in the learning space. When virtual and reality are combined, this sense of fatigue will quickly subside with your physical condition.

He came to the window and slowly drank a glass of water. Zhang Chen opened the curtains and took a look at the brilliant lights outside. The cars came and went, and unconsciously remembered the situation tonight. For a moment, a smile climbed up his cheek.

--The next day's team's tactical training will begin soon, and today's atmosphere is also relatively heavy, because in the evening they will welcome a vicious team: the Lakers. However, not long after their training began, they got accurate information that Kobe couldn't come because of a finger injury.

This is good news for the Suns. Without Kobe Bryant, the Lakers are like the Tigers missing an important toe. This season, the Suns have played against the Lakers twice, both of which ended in failure. The opponent's performance is quite excellent. Today, the Suns are also trying to get the field back.

"Guys... From the beginning of the All-Star Game, the old birds will understand that our game will enter a new level. In the next time, we will face all the fierce opponents, and they will try to defeat us with all their strength... We will face greater pressure, a lot At that time, we need to fight harder... We need a more serious attitude, so every training, every shot, we have to fully enter the state to play and completely devote ourselves to it!"

What D'Anthony said is basically nonsense, but Zhang Chen and others also listened. After all, they knew that they would face a lot of challenges in the next few days.

That night, the game with the Lakers was played at the American West Arena, the home stadium of the Suns.

This is a very important game. The collision between the two strong teams in the west has attracted a lot of attention. Unfortunately, Kobe Bryant can't be there today, so the Lakers are mostly a little bad this time.

However, in some small interviews before the game, the Lakers players were not worried at all. On the contrary, Odom said confidently, "We can beat them, even if they are the first in the West... There is no doubt about it."

Although Bynum, the little shark who is not plagued by injuries these days, has kept a low profile, he still expressed his confidence: "The Suns are a very good team and we need to respect them, but this does not mean that we think we can't fight with them. On the contrary, we have enough reasons to think that I We can defeat them.

"We are confident to defeat the Suns." This is the original words of their other superstar, Gasol.

In the All-Star Game, many people feel that they have not seen Zhang Chen for a long time, so today's attendance is still good. However, when they play against the Lakers, they are not necessarily all Suns players. On the contrary, there are a large number of Lakers and Kobe fans who wear Kobe Bryant and Lakers balls. He watched the game and cheered for every player of the Lakers.

In this game, Zhang Chen was able to keep his starting position because veteran Hill was absent from the position. Today, the starting position of the Lakers is Sasha? Vujacic. Since entering the league, Kobe has rarely been absent due to injury. His finger is said to be undergoing surgery and has not been able to participate in the war today.

Vujacic has basically been living on the bench, and it is a pleasure to have such an opportunity. However, what soon became the focus of the media is Chinese player Sun Yue, who is now sitting on the bench of the Lakers.

It seems that the absence of the Lakers made some people in their guard table sparse, which recalled Sun Yue from the NDBL League.

The game officially began, and the players from both sides began to form a circle next to the middle line, staring at the rising basketball rising from the referee.
