297 Prove yourself

The other one of the two top posts about the Knicks on this website is dedicated to Zhang Chen, analyzing the interests:

"In the last season, a non-d draft player named Zhang Chen was born and immediately won the title of best rookie and became an unprecedented non-d draft player. Everything about him shines with a dreamy light, and there is an unseen light under the sun. This season, he came to the same dreamy city, and his performance was equally brilliant.

"Just arrived in New York, Zhang Chen showed his unparalleled attack power to all the players. In front of his sharp offensive spear, all tough shields could only be extinguished. The average score of 40 points per game still shocked the heroes. In the first two games, his adjudication ability at the critical moment was reflected. Two kills and one sword sealed his throat, so that the opponent had no chance to breathe.

"All this indicates the vitality that this new player brings to this somewhat dead team. This season's Knicks are basically starting to rebuild around Zhang Chen, but after this consecutive four consecutive away defeats, maybe we should think more deeply about some of Zhang Chen's problems. He was able to be strong and sharp at the beginning of the season, and he was also able to carry the whole team with his own attack, but after several consecutive away games, we saw his helplessness.

"He still has many problems. Although we can all see from his game that his speed, breakthrough technology, and shooting may have reached an unsolved level, physical strength is still a big problem that restricts him. Other coaches in the league made arrangements for him according to his surname, which is also a kind of concern for him. Whether he can still get a high score as usual under this kind of attention, and still carry the team forward with a high score as always, these are eager questions on Zhang Chen's shoulders. After four consecutive away defeats, they will return home to play against the Portland Trail Blazers. That's a tough team. They have a team called Brandon? Roy's tough leader, Zhang Chen, will be reborn after a few defeats or under the pressure of his physical strength and opponents. It's time to see his next performance.

After reading this post, Zhang Chen sat in a chair, looked up at the ceiling, carefully imagined the meaning of these words, and thought about what was useful to him. He is still very immature and has not performed well in many places. Although the main reason for his failure is not because of himself, he also has an inescapable responsibility. Zhang Chen browsed some more posts and found that some people had begun to say that he was a cancer of the team, and that he was a soft egg. He immediately disappeared after a few away games, and maybe he would really disappear completely from now on.

Zhang Chen was a little uncomfortable to see this news. They all saw his performance this season, but after two games that they lost a little, they jumped out and blamed themselves one by one, which made people feel more or less angry. However, the main thing Zhang Chen needs to think about now is the next game. Whether he can lead the Knicks to prove himself, and whether he can prove himself in this game depends on his performance.

Thinking of this, he did not intend to waste his rest day, but to run to the stadium and start some simple training, such as emergency stop jump shot, middle shot, and defensive footsteps.

Zhang Chen is not the first time to play against Roy. In fact, he had a long duel with Roy in last season's rookie challenge. Now that he has made so much progress, he should be a little sure to deal with Roy.

On November 19, the game between the Knicks and the Trail Blazers kicked off in Madison Garden. The game has not yet begun. Madison Garden has flooded with spectators who have filled many seats in the audience, waiting to see the start of the game. The game started not in a hurry, and it also went through a lot of steps.

When Zhang Chen came on the stage, he was still a cheering crowd, which made Zhang Chen feel like he was back home. After all, many people scolded him on the Internet. When he saw those scoldings, Zhang Chen occasionally felt a little frustrated. Now it seems that no matter how much grievances he has suffered outside, New York fans are still I will welcome myself as always.

Zhang Chen waved his hand and ran into the basketball court. Suddenly, there was a burst of shouts. When the Trail Blazers' star and pillar Roy ran into the court, cheers and applause also came from the stadium. It can be seen that Roy also has a certain mass base in New York.

The jumping ball was about to begin. Zhang Chen stood opposite Roy. Roy smiled kindly at Zhang Chen. After all, the two of them knew each other.

Zhang Chen also smiled with him, and then the two people who jumped the ball had risen to the highest air, and then gently dialed on the basketball, and the two people immediately twisted into a rope and ran towards the basketball. However, the basketball did not appear in someone's hands properly, but after the twists and turns of several people's penalty kicks, Roy happened to come to the outside line to grab the rebound, and then slowly controlled the ball and let his teammates fall.

Zhang Chen stood in front of Roy and did not steal it, but Roy also found that Zhang Chen seemed to be a little different.

When I met him last season, Zhang Chen was a player with empty defensive enthusiasm and positive defensive surname. He didn't have much defensive skills, but now in Roy's opinion, Zhang Chen's defense has made great progress.

Roy was going to rush through Zhang Chen's left hand after a fake action. After all, he was also troubled if Zhang Chen always gathered in front of him like this. So, Roy made a fake move with his shoulder, so the two kings of fake moves immediately began to compete.

Before the beginning of the season, Zhang Chen was crowned as a "player who yawns with fake moves", while Roy was "a fawny player with fake actions". The game between the two would be quite exciting.

Roy's fake action was recognized by Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen immediately made his left leg take a small step to the left. Although it was not so wonderful, at least it added a stumbling block to Roy's expected way. He had to give up this breakthrough route, and then put his shoulder against Zhang Chen's chest and use his body. Body protection for the ball. When he saw Miller, he immediately passed the basketball out. In the first game, Zhang Chen won.

Roy inadvertently said to Zhang Chen, "Chen, it seems that your defensive skills are much better."

Zhang Chen smiled and, er, did not relax his vigilance against Roy. He knew that this guy was full of true and false collections. When the collective started, he was not sure that he could defend him.

Sure enough, Roy bypassed a teammate and took the basketball from Miller again, but Zhang Chen also quickly followed.

Roy began to dribble the ball, dribbled the ball in all directions. This is a guy who can enter the best team of the month as a point guard. His pass can become the deadliest weapon as well as his shot. Zhang Chen did not dare to relax Roy and followed him step by step, so Roy quickly found that Zhang Chen had made little progress. Zhang Chen could always block his way with his speed and strange and flexible footsteps, which made him quite distressed.

Seeing that there was not much time to attack, and the teammates didn't seem to have any place. Roy didn't want to drag it any longer. Suddenly, there was a ** dribble. The basketball came from the right hand to the left hand. At the same time, with the action on the shoulder, Roy shook the ground left and right. With the help of Miller's block, he suddenly rushed out from Zhang Chen's side. .

Roy's difficulty is often shown here - before he began to break through, even if the situation turned sharply, even if the attack time was critical, he always had a calm expression. At the same time, his men' movements were like a stable old car, which seemed to be very slow.

Then, when he used the ** dribbling, with the fake action on his shoulders, his movements still looked so casual and slow, making people feel that they could take the basketball out of his hand all the time. However, after his ** dribbling and fake action, his rhythm suddenly changed completely in less than 0.1 seconds, and in an instant it became a speed combination that pierced the air, which made people suddenly realize after the moment of astonishment - it turned out that his explosive power was so shocking. People!

Roy is such an ully two-faced man. It is difficult for you to find clues about his next move from his seemingly careless movements. He hates physical confrontation unless he meets a player who is much weaker than him, so his autumn wind is always so unpredictable.

Roy started in an instant. This start was quite unexpected. It was close to the inside line in a short moment. Randolph was dodged by him on the ground, and David Lee was dodged by him in the air. The way Roy dodged David Lee was a windmill basket. The basketball shook a shot on the left and moved with Zhang Chen's body. After going to the right, he hit it up into the basket.

Roy took the lead in scoring two points. Some people cheered and some people booed in the basketball hall, but it was a pretty good ball in any way.

The ball rights returned to the hands of the Knicks. Zhang Chen did not overdo it this time, but let Du Hong control the ball for the first half. However, the Trail Blazers were also a team that attached great importance to defense. Their defense felt a bit of a copper wall. Du Hong saw that the pass to others may not be effective, so he passed the ball to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen passed the ball on the street, which made the two hands of the basketball rebound. Roy saw Zhang Chen's dribble and his pupils shrank - this guy's ball control was really weird and freehand. Zhang Chen's two hands seemed to become two magnets to attract basketball. In this way, the basketball could not escape the palm of his hand and kept flying and bumping between the two hands.

"You have made progress in dribbling... even better than Chris's dribbling..." Roy suddenly came up with such a comment. On the one hand, he commented on Zhang Chen's possession of the ball, and on the other hand, it was to distract Zhang Chen a little. However, Zhang Chen was not affected by Roy's words at all, but after a ** dribbling, he used a fake step, and then his body instantly turned into lightning and stabbed into Roy's left!

"Breakthrough!" Many viewers on the side of the basketball court and many fans in front of the TV are making excited voices at this moment. Zhang Chen's poor performance in the last two games made everyone feel a little incredible. At the same time, he did not believe that Zhang Chen would sink directly from then and find no way out. Therefore, they are eager for Zhang Chen to prove himself again under the witness of everyone today, and then the first ball of the Knicks met Zhang Chen's breakthrough!

Zhang Chen's breakthrough, as always, the wind is fierce and the wind is fast.

Roy hates physical confrontation, but he also likes to fight with people who are much weaker than his physical quality. In his impression, Zhang Chen is still the player who falls as soon as he touches it, so he chose to go straight forward to block Zhang Chen and resist Zhang Chen's breakthrough with his own body. Zhang Chen's speed was already sharp last season. Roy knew that Zhang Chen had a very strange and powerful speed, so he was ready to use his own body to resist Zhang Chen's speed.

Then, he drank, because Zhang Chen really bumped into him, and then Roy felt a burst of pain in his chest. The way Zhang Chen, who had imagined, folded in front of his body's resistance, instantly turned upside down and turned into Zhang Chen stepping on his body and became distracted step by step.

This huge force still hit Roy, who was a little frivolous to the enemy. Roy couldn't help taking a step back and almost sat on the ground.

Then, the referee's whistle sounded. This was a blocking foul. Because Roy deliberately went up to block Zhang Chen, he naturally did not stand firm when he went up to block Zhang Chen, so he was hit by Zhang Chen and became a blocking foul.

Just before the game began, Zhang Chen got a foul on the Knicks, and in the capture of the high-speed camera lens, Roy's face flashed with a strange expression, as if he had seen something incredible.

For the Knicks' ball rights, Gallinally passed the basketball to Du Hong on the sideline, and Du Hong passed it to Zhang Chen again. Then, Zhang Chen's damn tacit understanding in Randorf's eyes occupied Zhang Chen's sixth sense. He intuitively saw the vacant place on Landorff's side, so he passed the basketball by shooting. Go out, after a long pass, the basketball came to Randorf's hands.

Zhang Chen didn't expect it wrong. Randorff did have such a vacant seat. Zhang Chen's intuition was quite good. He expected the enemy to take the lead, and a long pass directly tore the opponent's defense. After receiving the pass, Randorf did not care about Zhang Chen's pass to him, and then directly pulled up and dunked successfully. Suddenly, there was a burst of joy next to the basketball court. The sky is shocking, and the mountains are tsunamis.

The Knicks' first attack was a domineering Randolph's slam dunk. This picture made many people excited, and Zhang Chen also received an assist on his account.

Randov and Zhang Chen still don't have the habit of high-fiveing, but in any case, the two have reached a certain tacit understanding in cooperation with each other. They can find the other party's cooperation and then help the opponent. In several consecutive away fights, they have completed a lot of such cooperation, and now they are familiar with each other.

"Defense, defense!" Now D'Antoni is loudly advocating defense next to the basketball court, and this guy has really fulfilled his promise to pay attention to defense.

After half-time, Miller passed the ball to Roy. Zhang Chen stood in front of Roy again. The two began the third match of the game. Roy still controlled the ball slowly, but Zhang Chen did not dare to relax at all now, because Roy is better at the sudden change of rhythm and momentum. He You must beware of Roy's coming to the shade.

Roy began to make a breakthrough. He wanted to tear open Zhang Chen's defense line with his own pace and speed. However, to his surprise, Zhang Chen's footsteps were indeed quite flexible and could always grasp his direction of progress, and then Zhang Chen's footsteps quickly followed.

Roy saw that he could not break through Zhang Chen unless he took out some skills, so he did not plan to break through again. Instead, he jumped high in front of Zhang Chen's head. His body soared into the air in a blink of an eye, and then the basketball came to the front of his forehead and was ready to take action. Zhang Chen's floor flow was soon reflected, and it was difficult for him to defend his opponent's sudden stop jump shot.

Roy's basketball easily got into the basket, and today he won the team's first two points.

This time, the person who controlled the ball became Zhang Chen. Seeing that Zhang Chen took the basketball and began to control the ball, the audience next to the basketball court burst into cheers. Before the game, there was a lot of negative news about Zhang Chen on the Internet. They were all saying that Zhang Chen's achievements were limited to this. At most, he only had the ability to become a flash player, and did not have the potential to become a super offensive player. Zhang Chen's fans who heard these remarks were extremely angry and naturally hoped that he could show his true strength in this game.

All the attention was paid to Zhang Chen. Unfortunately, Zhang Chen's first goal made them a little disappointed - although he earned an offensive opportunity for the team and assisted Randorf dunk, that was not his attack after all. What they hoped was Zhang Chen to prove himself with his sharp attack. .

So, when they saw Zhang Chen controlling the ball, everyone cheered and prepared to capture the most wonderful time.

Zhang Chen slowly controlled the ball and came outside the three-point line. At this time, the eyes of fans all over the world were on him. Zhang Chen slowly dribbled the ball in their eyes, and there was not even a flaw.

Two blonde reporters in the press gallery are discussing: "Kall, Zhang Chen is controlling the ball... It seems that he may be going to attack."

"Yes, it should be like this... I hope he can break the so-called remarks that he can only have a flash of inspiration... After all, in my heart, he is already a sharp offensive player, and no one can stop it! ~”

"This can't be too optimistic... Look... It seems that the head coach of the Trail Blazers has also arranged some defensive tactics against surnames. It can be imagined that Zhang Chen's score will never be very simple."

Cole took a look at Zhang Chen's direction and saw several Trail Blazers players in the court waiting for the opportunity. Their eyes were staring at Zhang Chen like a poisonous snake. He said anxiously, "It seems so... His breakthrough will be very difficult. I don't know if he can find a way?"
