393 ranking competition

If the Knicks are now close to the rivalry of the 76ers, it is true that the 76ers are too fierce to compete with the Knicks in the ranking this season.

In the middle of last month, Zhang Chen's performance declined significantly due to some physical strength and so on. By the way, the Knicks also suffered a disaster and had no good record last month. The 76ers also took advantage of this month to make a comeback and suppress the Knicks, and now they are ahead of the Knicks in the game.

The first game in April is against the Celtics. If the Knicks can win the final battle, they will be able to surpass the 76ers, directly enter the fifth place, and then look at the fourth place, ready to charge towards the home advantage.

However, the Celtics will never be a provocable role. The Knicks have lost a game to the Celtics this season, and it is not easy to win. But if they don't defeat the Celtics, the giant, the road to the Knicks will be more difficult, so they can only fight back in order to reach the top four as soon as possible and gain a home advantage in the playoffs.

When Zhang Chen came out of his learning space, he found that the fatigue and laziness of these days had been swept away! If his body has reached a critical point of fatigue before entering the learning space, then now he has completely eliminated the fatigue in his body and has completely entered the peak state. He feels that every cell in his body is bathed in the warmth of light, and his heart is also full of the next game. There is a look of self-confidence.

In the early morning, the sun was shining on the ground. Zhang Chen ate outside and walked into the stadium. At this time, there was usually no one in the stadium.

These days, Zhang Chen, who was originally a training maniac, also appropriately reduced the number of times he trained. After all, his physical strength has reached the critical value. If he squanders like this, his physical condition will get worse and worse. Therefore, Zhang Chen only maintains his basic training these days, but he doesn't have much extra training, so everyone hasn't seen Zhang Chen appear in the stadium very early for a long time.

D'Antoni has also been a little anxious recently. The most important reason is because of Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen has not been in a good state recently. He often has no motivation to move forward in the third quarter of a game. At these times, his hit rate will also decline accordingly, followed by the collapse of the team, which makes him very worried.

Because the player is already quite difficult at this time. If he can't handle it well, then the player may even be directly destroyed by these things in his life, and then gradually disappear from everyone. After all, even if a player's skills are good, his body is the foundation of his skills. Therefore, Zhang Chen's body cannot be damaged.

D'Anthony is a little worried. If Zhang Chen is so weak, the situation of the Knicks may get worse and worse. However, when D'Antoni came to the stadium and was about to start arranging some training, he saw Zhang Chen who was training. The basketball passed through his ** and his back again and again. It could be seen that he seemed to be practicing his breakthrough skills, and his body swayed, like a boat that was swaying in the storm. General. Zhang Chen is very serious about controlling the ball and breaking through. It can be seen that he works very hard.

D'Antoni was a little surprised and worried. He came to him and said, "Chen, how's it going? Have you recovered your physical strength? If there is no recovery, you can't take such a risk. This will even ruin your whole career!"

Zhang Chen turned his head and saw D'Anthony, the head coach who had been with him for two years. There was worry in his eyes. The two had already had that kind of real trying friendship, so Zhang Chen also understood that his concern came from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, Zhang Chen also smiled and said, "I understand, but I have recovered now."

"Restored?" D'Anthony came up in disbelief and looked at Zhang Chen's condition and so on. However, after all, he was not a doctor, and he couldn't tell the clue in this way. Zhang Chen quickly hugged his shoulders and pushed him to the side of the court: "I have recovered!" Look at my performance."

After saying that, he began his next exercise, which is also the realistic training of his seventh-level physical training. Naturally, this kind of physical training cannot be carried out in the learning space. The training in reality is the most important. Zhang Chen started his round-trip running again and again, as well as various other training movements.

It is not surprising that these training movements look common in the eyes of Zhang Chen and D'Antoni, but if ordinary people look at it at this time, they will be amazed at this level of training, which is simply a kind of self-abuse! D'Anthony looked at Zhang Chen next to the court and saw him walking in the court again and again with explosive force. He was not tired. Every time he broke out, his whole body was full of beautiful lines. Suddenly, the corners of D'Anthony's mouth also smiled, and then said, "Yes, you have recovered... It's really strange. Wonderful, you can always do something that makes us strange..." De Anthony came to Zhang Chen's side and suddenly continued, "But Chen, pay attention, you shouldn't work too hard..."

Zhang Chen nodded and wiped his sweat with a smile. De Anthony's concern could naturally be heard. In the next time, Zhang Chen continued to practice alone on the basketball court, while De Anthony wrote and drew beside him, calculating the implementation of some tactics.

After a long time, the two of them sat on the stool next to the basketball court. The towel covered Zhang Chen's face. He leaned back and threw, and then said, "I haven't had such a smooth training for a long time. Recently, my body is always like a stinky skin, dragging your actions, so that you can't move forward and retreat, so that you can't do it. More training, now I can finally get rid of this state. It feels good.

D'Antoni smiled and then said, "Your recovery can help us regain the ranking on the list, and at the same time, there is hope to move towards the fourth place."

Zhang Chen nodded, then took a sip of water and said, "Seriously, I don't know where our current lineup can go."

D'Antoni pondered for a moment: "It's not impossible to win the championship."

"It's possible, but the possibility of the championship is too small. I have thought a lot. Maybe we will have the ability to win the championship next season, but it won't be this season."

"Why do you say that? Since you don't have the ability to win the championship this season, won't it be like this next season? Our lineup is still like this, and our players are still like this.

Zhang Chen smiled mysteriously and did not answer D'Anthony's question. In fact, he also understood that it was quite difficult to win the championship this season, and the strong teams in the East were still emerging one after another. Even if the top-ranked Cavaliers show off their power in the regular season and have a bit of silver guns at the bottom, the rest of the teams are not easy to deal with - the Magic, Celtics and so on, so it's better for the Knicks to be in the top four now.

Of course, it is basically impossible to win the championship this season.

But next season is different. Zhang Chen's self-confidence mainly comes from himself. At the beginning of the next season, he will be able to truly transform into a person who can't stop whether it is offensive, defensive or assist rebounds. He is enough to become the real pillar of the team. By next season, after all kinds of training, an off-season buffer is enough for him to transform into a player that others can't imagine.

Once, the league was dominated by a center, and the NBA was the world of center, but later Jordan broke this unique habit of basketball and ushered in a basketball revolution and a complete change with his 1.8 meter on the outside. He supported a dynasty with his own body, proving that the defender can also dominate the game and the league.

By next season, 22-year-old Zhang Chen will be able to become such a player, and even slightly better. Therefore, Zhang Chen has the confidence to win the championship next season. What's more, the Knicks are not only Zhang Chen, but also Randolph. Randolph is getting stronger and stronger among some of the footsteps and offensive and defensive skills taught by Zhang Chen. In addition, David Li, who is also slowly making progress, the two of them are enough to defend the dignity of the inside line. At this time, coupled with a Zhang Chen who can change his backhand, will become simple together.

However, this is not this season. First of all, Randorff is still thinking and has problems in many places. He is emotional and does evil off the court. He often touches marijuana and other things, and his strength is not less than that level. However, it can be seen that he is consciously transforming towards a good player and wants to contribute his own strength to the team's progress, but it all takes time. Therefore, the Knicks need time to wait for Randorf.

Another factor is David Lee, who has quickly become the backbone of the Knicks' inside line. His attack and defense have become the nightmares of his opponents. He is gradually growing into a horrible insider who can average 15+10 per game. But all this also takes time. After all, he is still a little immature, and he still needs the continuous test of war to really succeed.

As for the outside part, Gallinari's shooting is also relatively good. Occasionally, he can enter the inside line to catch rebounds, dunks, and pass beautiful balls. He also has a lot of room for growth. The remaining Du Hong, although this person has grown to an end, his calmness and his experience are also what the team needs.

In this way, as long as the Knicks can be given a certain amount of time, they can really leverage the league.

Of course, they still have to make some minor repairs to the lineup before the start of the next season, mainly to add one or two good bench bandits to the inside line. The fat man in Edikuri has made many people unbearable, and people hope to exchange him for a few good players. However, Edikuri's contract will not expire until 2011, but some teams will be interested.

The transformation of the Knicks is just around the corner.

When it came to training, Zhang Chen began to point out Randorff's footsteps again. Although the footsteps of the inside line and the foot skills of the outside line are different, after all, it is the pursuit of flexibility in the footsteps, so Zhang Chen can finally put forward some of his own experience to make Landoff's footsteps move more and more. Live. Randorff also lived up to Zhang Chen's expectations. He averaged 17.8 points and 10.4 rebounds in the middle of last month, and the data has become stronger and stronger.

After the crazy March, the current Knicks have gradually rejuvenated. Especially after seeing Zhang Chen's recovery, everyone is more motivated and morale is slowly rising.

That night, the Knicks played against the Celtics at home in the same division. The two teams still have one match left this season. Today is the last game.

Although the Celtics' record has declined now, it can be seen that they are also a little without the spirit and domineering spirit of the defending champion last season, they are still a team that cannot be ignored. They still have the most perfect configuration in the league and the most sophisticated tactical execution in the league. In this regard, no one can replace the Spurs and the Celtics.

The Celtics' tactical execution and their tactical operation are quite surprising. No one can question that they are all sophisticated instruments, and each operation will be a bloody storm.

Not long after Zhang Chen communicated with several people he knew of the Celtics, the game was about to start.

The audience looked at Zhang Chen and were a little vaguely worried, because last month, although Zhang Chen was still magical, his data had also dropped a lot. Now they are a little worried that Zhang Chen suddenly fell off the chain as before, and finally let the Celtics take advantage of it.

No one doubts that the Celtics are one of the most powerful teams in the league.

Today, the Celtic guys are all polite, including Garnett, who are talking and laughing with Zhang Chen. Only Little Potato Robinson is hot. It can be seen that this guy is quite disdainful. He wants revenge.

Yes, the Knicks once gave up many people and many contracts for Zhang Chen, because Robinson took the brunt of the space to attract Zhang Chen. Naturally, this kind of player with a surname will be cleaned up. That's why Robinson is so angry now that he wants to slaughter his old boss today.

This guy really didn't stop. He was jumping around all day. A few days ago, Pierce killed the Western Strong Spurs away, and then Pierce stretched out his hands and ran on the ground in a flying posture. Robinson had been celebrating with him. As a result, when he jumped up, Pierce had already run. Opened, he fell to the ground head down and almost broke his neck.

Zhang Chen doesn't like this person who once provoked him.

At the beginning of the game, today, the Wolf King rarely sees the ball jumping on the ground, but most of people's eyes are focused on Zhang Chen on the basketball court. They hope that Zhang Chen can get rid of the shadow brought by the previous month and find his true self in this game.

"Bang!" David Lee and Kevin Garnett collided their palms in the sky almost at the same time, and then the basketball quickly flew to both sides, seeing that the winner had been divided.

The basketball was shot in Rondo's hands by the old Garnett.

This season, Rdo has also begun to condense his mind, with more and more assists and more triple-double games, gradually becoming the Celtics' fourth giant. This son is scheming and his surname is calm, but the jump shot on the outside line is really unsatisfactory, but anyway, this person has also joined the ranks of the top point guards in the league.

Rondo rushed towards the half. Du Hong didn't have time to defend for a while. In order to prevent Rondo from directly breaking through the inside line to dunk or layup to hit the morale of the Knicks, he directly blocked in front of Rondo and could not let him break through himself. Facing Zhang Chen, Rondo suddenly shook left and right. The basketball kept rising on his left hand. Then, his body suddenly made an urgent move. The basketball was pulled to his right and wanted to break directly to Zhang Chen's left.

Zhang Chen is already the strength of level 10 in defense. Naturally, it is impossible to be passed by such a change. However, when he saw Rondo's hurried appearance, the lightning flashed in his subconscious moment, so he pretended to be lost.

At the moment when Rondo was ready to start the real **, Zhang Chen's left hand suddenly stretched out and poked him gently on his basketball. The basketball quickly left Rondo's control, and Zhang Chen directly bypassed his back at this moment and continued to take the basketball into his arms with his left hand!

In just a short time or even less than a second, the ownership of the basketball has changed its position. Zhang Chen, who grabbed the basketball, stepped forward and rushed out directly.

At this time, the army came to the Knicks' half-time, but Zhang Chen controlled the ball against his strength and killed him in a different direction.

"Oh no, I was robbed..." Rondo was angry and hurriedly wanted to run back to the half with atonement. At this time, the Celtics had also reacted and quickly arranged layers of obstacles on Zhang Chen's way to prevent his rapid return.

Zhang Chen forcibly inserted all the way, and directly stretched out his hands to poke down his basketball, but at this time, Ron also rushed towards Zhang Chen.

Three to one, they must force down the basketball in Zhang Chen's hand.

Ordinary players are basically incompetent in the face of such a defense. Most of the time, they will change the basketball in their hands directly because of a mistake. However, at this time, Zhang Chen finally made his perfect ball control skills shine. The other party's three people are forced to grab it at the same time, and his right hand is still in danger. Fear, the basketball has been sticking to his hand and won't let go.

Then, Zhang Chen used a few clever rackets. Unexpectedly, from the net laid by the three people, he used a change to the end as the end, directly skimmed the three people, and forcibly broke into the inner line!

Zhang Chen's soft control of the ball around his fingers made everyone stunned.
