010 Various leagues
After confirming all the contract contents, Zhang Chen began to follow the team for formal training.
His training content is long-distance running exercises to increase his physical strength and endurance during the day, as well as a certain amount of strength and shooting exercises. At night, he goes to the learning space to practice running.
On July 5, with the Suns' teammates and coaches, Zhang Chen participated in the summer league held in Las Vegas.
The whole summer league is a little calm. Everyone knows that the summer league is two different levels compared with the regular season. If a player performs well in the summer league, it does not mean that he performs equally well in the regular season. Moreover, for most teams, the Summer League is a touchstone for the rookie in their team.
Zhang Chen and others caught up with the first game on July 6, and the Suns and the Cavaliers had a pleasant match.
On this day, the domestic media basically turned their eyes to another Chinese player, Yi Jianlian, who did not pay attention to this game. There is only a small piece of inconspicuous news on the Internet: on July 6, 2007, the NBA Summer League continued, and the Suns defeated the Cavaliers 108:104.
If people click in, they will find a smaller subtitle on it: Chinese player Zhang Chen scored 13 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in six of ten shots in the Suns' victory over the Cavaliers.
It was not until this time that netizens suddenly found that there was a Chinese player on the other side of the ocean struggling silently. Therefore, they began to search for everything about Zhang Chen crazily, but the result surprised them. Zhang Chen only had a few very short and capable reports on the Internet. What they knew about Zhang Chen was that he was a Chinese, 2.03 meters tall and was newly signed by the Suns this season. A player.
Below... There is nothing below.
Netizens cursed one after another, but they couldn't find something more profound. Their understanding of Zhang Chen was just that. At this time, someone said that Zhang Chen's news was blocked by a certain association of the Celestial Empire. Only then did people suddenly realize that Zhang Chen was not popular for a certain association, and he was completely a boy who suddenly came out. Although Zhang Chen still retains Chinese nationality, they no longer regard Zhang Chen as a Chinese player.
So, although netizens are angry, they can only watch a little bit of reports about Zhang Chen.
The second game of the Suns began against the Dallas Mavericks.
The Suns played a difficult game. Zhang Chen's running position has also reached a relatively good level after countless virtual space exercises, so he still relies on his own running position to brighten people's eyes in this game.
In the whole game, Zhang Chen made eight shots and five shots, scoring 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. This data is inconspicuous in front of other rookies.
Zhang Chen's performance is basically under the control of D'Anthony. In his opinion, Zhang Chen is about the same level.
However, he found that Zhang Chen's proud running technology has improved one by one. This makes him feel more and more that it is right to sign this boy.

The summer league will soon pass, and even many NBA fans will not pay much attention to this game. Zhang Chen's attention was also slowly forgotten by people after searching again and again without results.
Zhang Chen's data for the whole summer league averaged 19 minutes per game, with 12.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists. This score is inconspicuous among all the rookies, especially compared with Durant's horror score of 25 points, Zhang Chen's data sheet can be said to be a little pale.
Most of the data of other rookies are better than Zhang Chen... Anyway, who cares too much about such a non-d draft player?
The pre-season also kicked off with people's little attention. During the pre-season, some people in China on the other side of the ocean occasionally thought of Zhang Chenlai, but after many searches, there were still no results, they also gave up a deeper understanding of Zhang Chen.
After the first game, the Suns defeated their opponents. Another small section below reads that the NBA preseason continues, and the Suns beat the Bulls.
After clicked on it, there was a small paragraph with Zhang Chen's message: In the Suns' victory over the Bulls, Chinese player Zhang Chen came on as a substitute in the second quarter. He played for 21 minutes and scored 14 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in six of nine shots.
Zhang Chen's score is very stable, but if someone pays close attention to his information, he will find that his shooting percentage is higher than in the pre-season.
Yes, when the pre-season was about to start, Zhang Chen had finished the running process and began to practice the next item: shooting.
Zhang Chen's practiced shooting still starts with basic skills, but his shooting was level four before, and it was only six levels to reach the full level.
As a result, Zhang Chen's hit rate also began to increase. He scored 16 points in the second game of the preseason, with a shooting rate of 80%. This data even made some American fans, who are a little good, stare at Zhang Chen a little, but this gaze is also very short, because in the final analysis, Zhang Chen is just a very weak and humble non-dick player in the NBA.
The wheels of history rolled around, and the preseason gradually unfolded. Throughout the series, the Suns maintained a very good state. Zhang Chen also maintained a very good state.
In the pre-season, Zhang Chen averaged 16.5 minutes per game and scored 11.8 points per game. This data looks really a little shabby. Zhang Chen's playing time is very short. After the summer league, his playing time has been seriously compressed. Moreover, his body does not have the conditions for high-intensity confrontation all the time. However, Zhang Chen was able to seize a lot of opportunities and score 11 points in this short 16 minutes, which is already a big achievement.
It's just that players who perform well in the preseason may not be good in the regular season. This is a truth. Therefore, Zhang Chen's 70% hit rate is just to make people think that this Chinese non- draft player is lucky. Their focus is Durant, those high-ranking players.
The pre-season is just a rehearsal of the regular season. The real game still starts in the regular season, and the real warriors are also tested in the regular season.
Time goes forward without stopping, and it will soon be October 2007.
The NBA in the 2007-2008 season has finally opened its raging war...
Zhang Chen also embarked on his real NBA career!
