358 ten games
The pressure of this day can finally come to an end. Now it is not only Zhang Chen's turnaround battle, but also a turnaround battle between the league and the senior management of the league. At least so far, not only has Zhang Chen's reputation not become rejected because of this martial arts incident, but on the contrary, his popularity is still soaring. After After this incident, Zhang Chen was temporarily at the center of public opinion and became a good player in everyone's eyes.
In fact, the real victim Wade was lying in the hospital and the guy in his room who was cut by the axe sighed. After hearing this, Wade was even more depressed.
These days, the people affected by the Miami storm are not only Zhang Chen and the Alliance, but also others.
Avril is restless at home and doesn't know whether she wants to call Zhang Chen. Even if Avril has vowed not to think about that bastard again, she still can't stop missing Zhang Chen, and she can't deny that unforgettable feeling, so she now begins to sigh like Wade. She doesn't know how to solve this relationship.
Avril Lavigne found that she had changed many positions in a few minutes, but she had been unable to calm the waves in her heart. She knew that she might not be able to escape the curse of that guy in her life, which was like a pair of big hands, strangled in the throat of her fate. In this case, Avril felt that she had more surnames that she was worried about gains and losses.
She is now very worried about Zhang Chen's injury. She is also afraid that this wound may affect Zhang Chen's career. She is also afraid of what kind of impact this injury will bring to Zhang Chen. She was afraid of all this, so she couldn't wait to know what happened to Zhang Chen, but, unfortunately, she couldn't make up her mind to make a phone call in the end. This puts Avril Lavigne in a more serious worry about gains and losses, and she also brings more resentment in her mind - this guy always learns not to take care of himself.
It's more hard work, and Avril is still worried about more problems - for example, is Zhang Chen and Taylor getting closer now?
"What do I want to do with these?" Avril shook her head and wanted to expel her ideas. Then she sat in front of the computer and looked at the first news of Zhang Chen's 'Wu Shengmen' time. Then she saw the anti-Zhang storm of the fans, which immediately made her heart.
As a public figure, Avril knows what this kind of thing means to Zhang Chen. It may be that Zhang Chen has been completely stinky. Maybe everyone will hate him from today on. She clearly knew how much this kind of thing could hit Zhang Chen's reputation, and it would be troublesome to be accused of a murderer.
So, Lavigne couldn't help but care about the follow-up development of Zhang Chen. Then she saw Zhang Chen's press conference and looked at Zhang Chen, who was talking about the clouds and rain. Avril finally found that her worries seemed to be suspicious, and then she lay on the sofa and couldn't stand it. He hooked up slightly - this boy seems to have made a lot of progress, and this kind of cloud-turning method is also surprising!
However, this was just a short-term good mood, and Avril was soon involved in a more entangled situation.
............In another corner of this continent, Zhang Chen is sitting in his home and watching "Lost" in the empty hall. This suspenseful TV series has successfully won his attention, especially in the days when he rests on his legs. This TV series has become his more important focus. It has also become a way to pass the time.
There are traces of Taylor everywhere in this room. You can often see Taylor's pillow on the sofa, and you can also see all kinds of Taylor's representative items. These things made Zhang Chen eye-catching, but he always thought that all this was not enough. Sitting on the sofa, when he saw the wonderful, he suddenly received a phone call. The phone number had become a little strange, but he could still recognize it. It was an old friend Nina.
"Hey, Nina! I haven't seen you for a long time, and I haven't heard your voice for a long time!" Zhang Chen answered the phone and said.
"Oh, that's true, but I often hear your voice." Nina said a little mocking over there.
Zhang Chen is also a little embarrassed: "I know what you mean, but you also understand what kind of situation it is. You often can't find a say in front of the media. Therefore, my affairs are often put under the spotlight by them."
"Well, what I want to ask is, are you all right now? Including your injured leg, are you all right now? Nina asked.
"Thank you for your concern. I have to say that my legs are very good. Please rest assured!"
Then, Zhang Chen and Nina said something else. He found that Nina was getting better and better. She had recently prepared to start shooting her new TV series. This beautiful girl should attract a lot of attention. Zhang Chen has always thought so.
After Nina, Zhang Chen received a phone call from his agent: "Hey, Chen! Well done!"
"Ha ha, I can only say that I'm lucky!" Zhang Chen was a little calm.
Duffy said, "You are really lucky. Of course, this is also because of your hard work. You have completely gained the upper hand in front of public opinion, so you can imagine that you will usher in a bright future, but now I want to tell you another thing."
"Please speak." Zhang Chen said.
"Your contract renewal problem, now, your contract with Nike has expired, so you have ushered in another frenzy of competition among merchants. They all want to call you into the account. This is a good opportunity for you. Now the two most important companies that send you are Nike and A Didas, both companies said they would give you a big contract, and now I have received their offer... God bless, they are really good."
As we all know, cooperation with these large companies is a powerful thing for professional players like Zhang Chen. These companies are often rich. They can give Zhang Chen a very objective price, which is even close to his annual salary. There is no doubt that Zhang Chen is now a new generation of popular students in the NBA. He is becoming a new favorite of fans who are beyond race and country. His signing will definitely bring more fans.
So, this is a win-win thing. Naturally, Duffy has been busy with this matter very early.
"Well, Mr. Duffy, I need more detailed information. I need a data-based explanation."
"Okay, let me take a look for you." Duffy paused and said, "Now the contract given to you by Adidas is 80 million yuan in six years, and the quotation provided to you by Nike is 60 million yuan in five years. Their bags are very good, but Nike is a little less."
Zhang Chen frowned: "Can Nike raise the quotation a little more? I think we should have room for further negotiations.
"Well, I can't hide it from you. You know, now Nike also attaches great importance to you and thinks that signing you last year is their wisest choice, and just signing with you for a year is their most unwise choice."
This is the truth. When Nike's performance is getting better and better for Zhang Chen, many people at Nike think it's a good deal, but when people at Nike think that they only signed a one-year contract with Zhang Chen, they can't help but feel sorry.
Duffy continued: "According to my test, I think their price should be able to rise a little, but it is about the same as Adidas's offer. Maybe Adidas will want to poach and give you more money."
Zhang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Well, Mr. Duffy, that's what I think. I think we can make a little profit and a little profit on the issue of money, but we need to publicize this matter to a certain extent to let everyone understand that I have feelings for Nike, so I would rather I will stay in my old company with a little money.
Duffy thought for a moment and then said, "Well, Chen, you are really a worry-free guy, but I support you!"
Zhang Chen smiled at the end of the phone. The next day, the good news of Duffy soon came, that is, they finally gave Zhang Chen 65 million and signed Zhang Chen for five years. Although Zhang Chen knew that his strength would continue to grow, he also felt that he could not be short of people. This contract was big enough to even catch up with his salary.
Nike is also relatively sincere. You should know that a player's career is often unpredictable. They may encounter many challenges. Maybe they can make two pairs and three pairs on the court today. But tomorrow he will be injured and waste his whole career.
Therefore, Nike signed directly with Zhang Chen for five years, which is already a quite good decision for Zhang Chen, not to mention that Zhang Chen is still injured.
That is, after Zhang Chen renewed his contract with Nike, Zhang Chen's second generation of exclusive sneakers has come out, that is, the second generation of Fengshen. In the past, Zhang Chen's Fengshen generation was still a little awkward in shape. After all, Zhang Chen's strength at that time had not been fully displayed in front of everyone, and now Zhang Chen has shocked the league, and the super score of 39 points per game makes everyone tremble. Therefore, this time, his second generation of Fengshen is quite magnificent and full of a king's style.
is still a streamlined shape, which can reduce a lot of resistance to Zhang Chen's progress. The main color of this pair of shoes is blue and white, which is not only domineering but also elegant and light in Zhang Chen's temperament. In short, it is quite beautiful.
This pair of shoes was just delivered to Zhang Chen's eyes, which made him quite like it very much. Taking advantage of this period of time, this pair of shoes also began to complete mass production in the hustle and bustle.
————When he was banned from the game, the most tormenting thing about Zhang Chen was that he could not participate in the game. His belief in basketball was well known, which had even reached the level of paranoia. Therefore, Zhang Chen has been soaking himself in the team's training hall these days and starting training at night.
At this time, D'Antoni began to take advantage of the fire. Taking advantage of Zhang Chen's off-season, he not only banned Zhang Chen from participating in the team's away games during this period, but also changed his daily training content into passing training.
Passing training has become Zhang Chen's most important training. Every day, Zhang Chen has to pass some balls accurately and unparalleledly to the place where D'Antoni drew a circle. This kind of passing is quite a test of Zhang Chen's passing ability. At the beginning, Zhang Chen was quite repuls to this kind of training, but with the training Deepening, his passing ability is indeed getting better and better.
The ten games in which Zhang Chen was banned include six away games. The team is basically at the middle level. Everyone thinks that the Knicks without Zhang Chen may collapse in front of their opponents, but it seems that the Knicks are not moving in the direction they think.
Although the Knicks' offensive and defensive level have dropped significantly after the lack of Zhang Chen, and the team's competitive level has also dropped significantly, their level has not fallen to the point of bullying. In these games, although they only won three games, in the seven games they lost, there were The two games were defeated by the opponent, and the other two games almost forced the opponent to a dead end.
Only then did everyone find that the Knicks have indeed changed, especially their morale, which is changing imperceptibly. The Knicks' players already have a quasi-strong team style. They are not arrogant or discouraged, which makes people see the apable power of an emerging team.
In the past ten games, everyone in the Knicks has performed well. Randolph averaged 16.9 points and 9.5 rebounds per game to become an insider barrier and an inside offensive maniac, while David Lee was composed of Randolph with an average of 12.4 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. The two people made waves on the inside line, making waves on the inside line, making the opponent unable to defend.
In addition, their rookie Gallinari also averaged 12.1 points per game, which is very surprising, especially his three-pointer. He averaged two three-pointers per game and maintained a shooting rate of about 40%, which has become an important source of Knicks' firepower. In the game of the Knicks' victory over the Grizzlies, he hit seven three-pointers and hung a three-point rain, killing his opponent directly.
In the absence of Zhang Chen, Du Hong also properly regarded his role as a point guard, averaging 10.4 points and 4.9 assists per game. This group of people have done their part in their own responsibilities, and it is also because they let the Knicks be able to behave in Zhang Chen's absence.
The first day Zhang Chen can come back is the Christmas War. Unfortunately, the Knicks are not qualified to participate in the competition of such a strong at this time, and Zhang Chen can only watch the competition of the strong team in front of the TV. His leg injury has already healed as before, and now he is ready to go, rubbing his fists and palms to face the next opponent.
The most interesting thing about this year's Christmas war is the match between the Cavaliers and the Lakers. The battle between 23 and 24 is a topic that people like to talk about, and everyone wants to use this thing.
The Cavaliers are the number one in the regular season this year. So far, they have been at the top of the strong team in the East, and their record has made many teams stand high.
The Knicks also dropped their ranking to seventh after seven defeats, and they are now in urgent need of victory to get rid of their defeat.
During Zhang Chen's cultivation, the Knicks and the Cavaliers also had a contest. Unfortunately, the Knicks couldn't stop the Cavaliers' attack. James didn't say anything before the game, but only after they defeated the Knicks, he said wildly: "In fact, it's a pity that their main player Zhang Chen didn't If it can come, otherwise my revenge will be stronger.
The inside line of the Cavaliers can make waves in the inside vanguard of the Knicks. The shark is still old. This guy who wants to fight to the age of 68 shows his top dominance in the inside line, and also provides a direction for his juniors David Lee and Randorff.
The loss of the Knicks to the Cavaliers made Zhang Chen feel a little sorry, but he can only regret it. If he can't play, he can only regret it.
During this period, although Zhang Chen has not appeared in front of the public for a long time, the public's attention to him has not decreased. First of all, this reason is the aftermath of Zhang Wusheng's incident. In addition, they want to see if Zhang Chen's foot injury is serious and whether he can defeat the opponent if he comes back.
Therefore, many people have paid a lot of attention to Zhang Chen.
During this period, the All-Star activities in the East and West were also quite hot. In order to enter the All-Star, Bosh only danced in his underwear in his blog, while Howard released his refreshing Superman costume to solicit votes for himself. It can be seen that many people coveted the All-Star but Yes, I feel that I may not have that qualification, and I may not have so many votes.
Maybe Zhang Chen is the only one who doesn't have to worry about these problems. After all, he has a huge China behind him. The number of Chinese votes is enough for him to advance to the All-Star, not to mention that he also has a large number of fans from all over the world and the United States? Now it is a certainty that Zhang Chen can enter the All-Stars. The main question is whether he can enter the starting lineup of the All-Stars.
Zhang Chen is becoming more and more famous. His recent sales of jerseys have surpassed Landorf, becoming the player with the highest sales of jerseys among the current Knicks fans. Many fans have completely hollowed out Zhang Chen's jersey sales.
Zhang Chen spent his unbearable ten bans in this situation. His comeback was in their home stadium - Madison Garden, which means that he will complete his comeback in the presence of home fans.
Whether it can meet everyone's expectations has become a problem that Zhang Chen has to solve. He will face the challenges of fans and opponents in Madison Garden.
And the opponent is this season's unprecedented strength. The Lakers, who have just defeated the Cavaliers' Lakers in the Christmas War, the highly poisonous Black Mamba will compete with Zhang Chen again.
This game easily won everyone's attention, not only because of Zhang Chen's comeback battle, but also because of what method Kobe wants to retaliate against Zhang Chen. Can he successfully retaliate against Zhang Chen? - After all, everyone knows that Zhang Chen humiliated Kobe and James fiercely during the Olympic Games.
