198 against McGrady!

The first quarter of the competition is completely over. Recently, Zhang Chen, who has performed quite well in these competitions, has once again attracted everyone's attention. Many media and reporters are online on their own microblogs or directly on the website they are responsible for. Zhang Chen's performance in the first quarter once again made everyone feel incredible. His high score has continued for many games.

"Although Zhang Chen's performance in the first quarter was a little ups and downs, he quickly broke through his speed and attack when he was a little restricted by Battier, so that he could adapt to the new Battier's defense. Now the more he looks at his game, the more I appreciate it... We have heard too much before. Whether it's Jordan, Thomas, these legendary stars in the last century, or the super players of this century, Kobe, Iverson, McGrady, Roy, etc., we can't find our Chinese names in it. Now it's different. We can already foresee Zhang Chen's future. It can also be known that in a few decades, when someone looks back at the legendary player, he will think of the name of a player named Zhang Chendi!" Sun Zhenping began to be decisively excited and said such a long list of highly rated words. Although everyone knew that this was the truth, it was not good to say it in front of thousands of audiences across the country. Director Zhang hurriedly round the field next to him:

"Yes, Zhang Chen is a quite excellent player, and we can even say that he is the pride of our new generation of basketball players. However, all this takes more time to review. The real gold needs to become the most brilliant thing under countless beatings and experiences. The same is true for the players. Zhang Chen needs more time to hone and become the veritable gold!"

The two soon interrupted an advertisement, and at this time, the players from both sides also began to talk about the summary of the game just now.

The locker room of the Rockets is a little dull, and the head coach is not talking. Many players just close their eyes on their own stools, and there are no particularly active people.

When Yao Ming walked into the locker room, he soon noticed the strange atmosphere, but he knew where the atmosphere came from, that is, fatigue, extreme fatigue. The players are not even too lazy to move a finger. Although these crazy winning streaks have allowed many teams to have the achievements that they can only go up and down, it has also brought them extreme fatigue.

Yao Ming saw the atmosphere and began to say easily, "Guys... Were you busy too late last night? Why are you all listless?"

This sentence ushered in a burst of kind laughter, but the players still do what they should do, they are still closing their eyes to refresh their eyes, and those who should do physiotherapy are still doing physiotherapy. Yao Ming is a little embarrassed. In fact, he is not a very entertaining person, especially because he does not have the American humor that American can play tricks all the time. Just after this death, McGrady suddenly said, "Yao... Your compatriot is really good... To be honest, I kind of appreciate his shooting."

This sentence soon became a bomb in the locker room, blowing people up: Maddie actually said that she appreciated Zhang Chen's shooting!

Yao Ming, as McGrady's good friend and comrade-in-arms for many years, naturally knows how difficult it is for McGrady to praise a person like this. However, this makes his heart full of pride: "That's natural... Zhang Chen is a quite excellent player! I bet he will become a shining superstar!"

Maddie said seriously, "Yao, do you know your compatriot?"

Yao Ming's words suffocated, and he suddenly found that he actually knew very little about Zhang Chen.

————"Hey, Chen, your performance is great... That ultra-long-distance three-pointer makes me feel incredible!" Teammates came up to talk to Zhang Chen. Now that they are two points ahead of the Rockets, the atmosphere is beginning to be lively.

And Nash was also joking with them, which made Zhang Chen, an honest man, blush a little.

The second quarter of the game continued. At the beginning of this quarter, most of the main players on both sides temporarily rested on the bench, and McGrady of the Rockets also went to rest. Basically, the substitutes of both sides were left to play this game.

In this quarter, the Suns' Banks came on the field, and he was replaced by the Rockets' substitute point guard Brooks. Brooks is 1.82 meters tall, as fast as lightning, and he is also a well-known speed man.

At the draft, the Rockets thought that Brooks should be just a proof of their failure in this year's draft, but the small point guard's performance soon surprised them. Brooks averaged 21 points per game in the Rockets' summer league, becoming one of the most dazzling rookies in the summer league. Only then did the Rockets feel unintentionally. The arrival of this little point guard seems to bring some changes to them.

However, when Brooks really integrated into the Rockets' offensive system, they found that the words "this guy and the point guard" were two different things! In his eyes, in addition to the basket, his desire is to attack or attack. Such a player is too bad in the position of shooting guard, but it seems a little nondescript in the position of point guard, so the Rockets temporarily let him be the point guard when McGrady is away. When McGrady is on the scene, they let him play the function of scoring and leave the task of organizing the attack to McGrady.

However, Brooks is relatively resolute about his identity as a point guard: "Double energy guard? I don't think I can count it, because I think the term double defender is a kind of confusion about the guard position. What the point guard has to do is to pass the ball and pass the wonderful ball, instead of thinking about how to put the basketball in his hand into the basket in his own way!" Brooks's sumptuous words soon ushered in a large-scale spitting of blood by some people.

Brooks' appearance added a fire point to the Rockets. Scola on the inside and Brooks on the outside can undertake a lot of offensive tasks for the Rockets, but Brooks' defense is too bad, which makes the Rockets feel that their ** is faintly painful. Well, it is commonly known as the egg. It hurts. Even a bad player like Banks got 6 points and 2 assists on Brooks' head, and his eyes became more and more gentle, as if he regarded Brooks in front of him as a good partner.

In the inside position, Dior of the Suns on the field also lived up to the Suns' trust in him, and began a hand-to-hand fight with Scola. However, even without Martin's arrival, the Rockets have hoarded several Hollywood reserve actors. They fell exaggeratedly in all kinds of screams, and the dust flew, so a foul came.

Dior was furious by Scola, but he couldn't give it back to Scola, because Scola was born in the international championship, and the requirements for dealing with fouls in the championship are also stricter. If you are not careful, it is a foul, so the players refined in the international league are more likely to control themselves. Ginobili is the best example of his own movements.

Scola is the same, so Dior basically can't make a foul on him, but he was cheated by him a few times. Therefore, the Rockets echoed both inside and outside, with the acting skills on the inside and shooting from the outside, which turned into a quite wonderful dislocation battle in the second quarter.

This situation did not change until the main players of the two sides went in and out at the end of the second quarter, but the Suns' lead has been eroded and replaced by the Rockets' lead, which is 4 points behind the Rockets.

In the game just now, Zhang Chen did not follow everyone to study the acting skills of a group of Rockets, but carefully observed Brooks' breakthrough. This guy's speed was quite fast, often suddenly started when others didn't notice, and then rushed into the inside line at a speed that others could not react at all. . Then score in the basket. This kind of offensive method is more unexpected, but it is quite meaningful.

Brooks is an exceptionally fast player. His speed evaluation can reach the middle level of level nine. It is easier for such a player to break through than others. In addition, after all, he is an organizational guard, and his ball control skills are not bragging. The combination of these two things makes him compare. Excellent breakthrough.

However, Brooks also has an aurtic weakness, which is his height. Although his height of 1.82 meters can enter the inside line by speed, he is likely to be covered by the inside line in the end. In this way, he will be useless and on the contrary, he will find himself boring and make a mess. However, Zhang Chen is different. If he has Brooks' breakthrough and ball control skills, and also has his speed, his height is not a problem. In addition, his amazing shot can also help him solve the crisis, so it is easy for him to score in that situation.

However, there are still many restrictions on all of this. The first limit is his speed. Of course, there is no need to worry about the speed problem. He has reached the speed of eight. In about 20 days, he will be able to really enter the room and reach the legendary divine speed: level nine. The second limitation is Zhang Chen's ball control technology. His basic skills of ball control are relatively solid. The players who come out of China are basically solid. Even Yao Ming, who is 2.6 meters, can control the ball by himself for half-time and can pull to the top of the three-point line and throw three points. However, after coming to the NBA, Zhang Chen's possession of the ball was still not enough. The third limit is Zhang Chendi's breakthrough technology. His current breakthrough is only based on his unfavorable speed and the time difference. The real breakthrough technology is actually quite poor.

If Zhang Chen can solve these problems, then his breakthrough can even surpass his shooting and become his real scoring tool.

In Zhang Chen's thinking, the second quarter almost came to an end. At the end of the first half, the final score of the two sides was 53:50. The Suns were still three points behind in the end, and today the Rockets' McGrady shooting rate is also quite good. His score is now 16 points. Thinking that he got the 42 points on the head of the Celtics in the last game, people think that today's McGrady may be furious again.

The second half of the game was officially held in people's expectations. Zhang Chen was still full in the first quarter as usual, and the second quarter was rested. The third quarter was subject to the situation. If it could be full, it would be full, or save time and catch the opponent off guard at the critical moment of the fourth quarter.

When Zhang Chen came on the court, several main players of the Suns also came on the field one after another. The two sides became a battle similar to the first quarter. It was still Battier who defended Zhang Chen. Battier was determined to wash away his shame. He was really furious on Zhang Chendi, but there was no way to really subdue Zhang Chen. Therefore, now Battier is more attentive to Zhang Chen's defense, and his body is almost attached to Zhang Chen. Perhaps Battier's defense had a great effect. Zhang Chen's first shot was interrupted by Battier and finally missed the basket.

Fortunately, the rebound was snatched by Xiao Si, and then hit the dunk to help the Suns score two points.

The ball rights returned to the hands of the Rockets. At this time, their point guard once again became Alstoon. The street king showed his dribbling skills in front of Nash. It was really a golden snake dance and the shadows were flying.

Then, Alsstone broke into the inside line, but under the defense of Si, he finally returned in failure, so he had to retreat again, and then suddenly passed the basketball to Battier. Battier faced Zhang Chen this time and knew that this guy's defense was actually quite bad, so he began to jump and throw without hesitation. However, when he jumped up, the defense in his eyes was useless. Zhang Chen, who was full of loopholes, suddenly rushed to him and stretched out his right hand fiercely towards his basketball. Smash it over.

Battier panicked in the center of the sky. His ball did not jump too high because of a jump shot, but it was just normal. Although Zhang Chen didn't bounce well, he was not much different from Battier. In addition, his long arms soon posed a considerable threat to Battil.

At the critical moment, Battier made a move that made him extremely ashamed afterwards: he twisted his body back awkwardly, and then began to take action. The basketball turned into an air ball when he had nowhere to borrow in the air, and one of his rather weird and difficult backs turned into a joke. The worst thing was that he fell back to the back, hit the back hard on the back, and grinned in pain.

The team doctor of the Rockets rushed up to show it to Battier. Unexpectedly, Battier saw the team doctor and immediately felt that his wound had disappeared. Instead, he felt that his thighs trembled and his soul was scattered when he saw the team doctor. Now he quickly struggled to get up and said that he was fine. However, his limping appearance still exposed his true state at this moment, so the coach changed him. In fact, Battier's injury was not serious at all, but he was almost full in the first half of the game, so his physical loss was quite serious. He took this opportunity to take a rest.

At this time, the person defending Zhang Chen soon changed. The Rockets asked Hai Ye to go up to replace Beatier. Hai Ye originally wanted to defend Zhang Chen. At this time, his good friend McGrady stopped him and said let me come.

Then, Zhang Chen found that the person he was in the right position had become McGrady.

Zhang Chen also liked McGrady, but now McGrady stands in front of him, which makes him feel a little excited. McGrady said with a smile, "I'll meet you. Your shooting is excellent!"

"I know..."

"Hey, you are different from Yao... He is much more modest than you."

"This... My shooting is already excellent!"

The two of them said a few simple words, and then immediately began to really fight against each other. Zhang Chen knew that his defensive skills were a few pounds, but he did not dare to relax at all, because he had to do it even if it could cause a little trouble to the opponent's attack. In particular, the person he is standing now is one of the best attackers in the league now. He also needs to do his best. This is not only a kind of seriousness, but also a kind of respect for McGrady.

McGrady began to catch the ball from the bottom line and then controlled it all the way. He quickly came to Zhang Chendi, and then used a ** dribble to dodge Zhang Chen's right hand and said leisurely: "I'm going to start."

"Come on..." Zhang Chen originally wanted to say something cruel, but he still gave up. If he said harsh words in defense, he was basically slapping his mouth. Again, he knew that his defensive skills were a few pounds.

"WELL"! A word of McGrady popped out of his mouth, and then his next step was to use a cross-step dribble, which made Zhang Chen feel a little dazzled. Then McGrady hit the iron while it was hot and shook the basketball to the left. He quickly dodged a virtual shadow, pulled the basketball to his right and stabbed into the inner line. Go. Zhang Chen originally felt that he had to try his best to defend, which might cause some trouble to McGrady, but depending on the situation, the trouble he could cause to McGrady was really limited.

Maddie's speed soared to the highest in an instant, and soon came not far from the basket. At this time, Zhang Chen just realized that he wanted to chase, but it was too late. Only the last Suns insider was left in the defense line in front of McGrady.

After all, there are more and more injuries on his body now. McGrady doesn't want to play those slam dunk games anymore, but uses a fairly stable throw to let the basketball fly into the basket.

"Beautiful!" The audience cheered for their top scorer and MVP, and suddenly the Rockets' Toyota Center was filled with all kinds of cheers. Others began to sing McGrady's song, and their voices were loud until the dawn.

McGrady scored a goal. He turned his head and raised his eyebrows with Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen frowned slightly. He didn't expect McGrady to be so relaxed.

Just now, Maddie started the ball, crossed steps, all kinds of shaking to directly insert the inside line and then suddenly stopped throwing. The whole process was completed in one go and felt extremely coherent. Zhang Chen's heart has also been so dark that he has cheered for him.

This is getting more and more interesting!
