422 The first game of the playoffs!

After trying his best, Zhang Chen finally managed to avoid a fire in his backyard. At this time, he was also ready to start the real playoff preparations. At this time, the Eagles were ready to directly turn over the Knicks in the first home game. In their eyes, the current Knicks are It's unreasonable that it's a team that looks strong, but actually has no combat effectiveness. The Eagles think that even if they don't have a home advantage now, it's not too difficult to win the Knicks.

When facing the interview with reporters, the Eagle King Johnson of the Eagles was swept by the Knicks this season, he said directly to the camera: "Hey, we will prove it! We will let the rookies of the Knicks understand what a real playoff is!" It's true that the Knicks don't have experienced many playoffs now. There is Zhang Chen, and the Eagles don't know what bad thoughts they are preparing to deal with Zhang Chen.

In the face of the direct provocation of the Eagles, Zhang Chen did not hesitate to say his response to the reporter: "I don't know anything else. What I can say is that everything depends on strength! A team that was squeezed out of the top four by us is not too scary for me!" After Zhang Chen said this sentence, he would no longer answer this question, so people had to put their questions on other aspects.

This year's playoffs, as you can imagine, will still be very attractive. Now, the pattern of the strong in the west and weak in the east has long been broken, and even gradually changing towards the weak in the west and the strong in the east. At this time, the war between the East and the West is worthy of people's attention, and the palms and backs are full of meat.

In this year's Western game, the most stifling team that Chinese fans are looking forward to before the game - the Houston Rockets. Now the Big Three are basically close to falling apart. Arty and McGrady decisively fought and abandoned the hypocritical performance of the harmony at the beginning of the season and wanted to create a grand blueprint together. The two began to provoke each other again and again, while McGrady had a full mouth addiction after some scolding and then lay back in the hospital. Yao Ming's legs and feet are inconvenient now, and it is also a little hidden. It hurts.

The Big Three are basically fighting separately, and the Rockets are undoubtedly quite dangerous this season.

Among the teams in the east, the Knicks and Eagles are naturally the most concerned. This season, Zhang Chen came to the Knicks, which not only achieved his reputation as the top scorer, but also made continuous progress in his scoring ability, but also began to make progress in other aspects. Most importantly, after Zhang Chen came to the Knicks, he directly helped the Knicks get out of the crisis of life and death brought by Isaiah Thomas to the team. D. Anthony and Zhang Chen turned the Knicks into a brand-new team.

Of course, the reason for the most attention in the game is naturally the identity of Zhang Chen. Chinese fans are the largest group of fans in the world, and the support for Zhang Chen is naturally beyond the reach of other players.

Zhang Chen's current performance is getting stronger and stronger, and the performance of the whole season has also made Chinese fans completely begin to agree with Zhang Chen. Although there are still inverted Zhang Chen in China, these people can basically only survive behind Zhang Chen's fans.

On this day, the playoffs officially began, and the three women invited by Zhang Chen - Lena, Taylor and Lavigne also came to the scene to watch the game.

The game was played in Madison Garden, the holy place of basketball, attracting nearly 20,000 spectators, and people cheered for the Knicks neatly. Obviously, the Knicks, who have not entered the playoffs for several years, have this opportunity again this year, and all the fans are quite excited.

The starting lineup of both sides has been lined up - Knicks: Zhang Chen, Gallinari, Randorf, David Lee, Du Hong.

Eagles: Forward Josh? Smith and Malvin? Williams, center Horford, defender Joe? Johnson and Bibi. This lineup has also gone through the war in the 08-09 season, and the lineup of the two teams can be said to be comparable.

Of course, if you want to discuss the individual ability, the Knicks still have an advantage - Zach, who averaged 17.4 points and 11.2 rebounds per game in the regular season? Randorff, and David, who averaged 10.8 points and 10.3 rebounds per game? Li, Du Hong, who averaged 5.2 assists per game, and Gallinari, who averaged nearly three three three-pointers per game.

Of course, the most threatening thing is Zhang Chen, who can get 40+7+5 super data per game. It is difficult for this person to understand him with the inherent basketball logic of human beings. He is like a data madman, and no one can avoid his light.

The game began with the cheers of the audience. The first was the jumping ball near the middle line. The basketball rose high in the sky, and the two people in charge of jumping the ball also rushed to the sky in an instant. After a contest in the sky, Zhang Chen jumped high and grabbed the basketball into his arms. Then, when the Eagles and the Knicks were basically gathered in the half of the Eagles, Zhang Chen also began to control the ball and approach their three-point line.

Today's attack and defense are one-on-one. Zhang Chen and the Eagle King in front of him have started to be in position again. This is not the first time this season. Seeing that Zhang Chen stood outside the three-point line and seemed to have some bad thoughts, Eagle King Johnson also began to try his best to stick to the tension, not to let him jump and throw easily - Zhang Chen's 55% three-point shooting rate was not a joke.

Although the opponent's defense can be constrained in many of the opponent's movements, things in the world are often a double-edged sword, good and bad. Such close defense is also easy to cause the enemy to break through and enter the disaster.

Zhang Chen used a ** ball control direction as the warm-up before he began to break through. The basketball passed directly through ** from his left hand and reached the right hand in an instant. At this moment, Zhang Chen did not stop, but grabbed the basketball with his right hand and directly turned around! After such a turn, his body was originally very tall. Johnson was about the same height as him. After being turned by Zhang Chen, Johnson's close defense was basically broken, and when Zhang Chen turned around, his ball control ability was not less. In short, Johnson could not be robbed at all. Break.

After such a turn, Zhang Chen's speed also increased to the peak, turning his speed and firepower in the direction of the basket.

"Defensive!" Johnson quickly roared at the inside line, and then the Eagles' inner defense players, together with a few people who ran in the outside line, began to block in front of Zhang Chen. Johnson's voice defended, just like the general roared and changed the formation when marched in ancient times. As soon as Zhang Chen entered the inside line, he was surrounded by several people with a more ingenious angle.

This kind of encirclement is not a bag, but a kind of ingenious joint defense. Anyway, everyone has to become a stumbling block on Zhang Chen's way forward. Everyone can form a defense line against Zhang Chen alone, and they also pay attention to their defensive players and don't let them have any chance to open the vacancy. . In Zhang Chen's subconscious, there was a slight stream of consciousness that these guys were good at defending. The next second, he had directly skimmed the first defender with his own speed.

At this time, Zhang Chen has come to the effective defense range of the second defender. This guy is Horford. He just caught Zhang Chen's meaning. Anyway, it happened that Zhang Chen passed the first person, and in the moment when he was weak, he came up to block the place that made Zhang Chen feel more disgusting. , causing problems in Zhang Chen's attack. The defensive layout of these people is really good. The snake hits seven inches. No matter how strong Zhang Chen is, it is difficult for him to pass through this successive defensive network.

However, Zhang Chen still had enough ways to face the second defender. He directly hit him with his shoulder. In this way, another guy in the way on his way was directly cleaned up by him. Sure enough, he saw the third defender rushing up.

In this way, he has now passed two defenders in a row, which must be the end of the crossbow. The opponent's defense may become the last life-saving straw, sealing Zhang Chen directly in it. However, Zhang Chen was already prepared. At this time, he jumped directly to the right, and then made a small throw. The basketball hit the rebound on the rebound and into the basket. The opponent's block did not work.

Although it has lost a lot of slam dunks, as long as it is Zhang Chen's goal, the audience is also quite happy.

"Fengshen!"

"Fengshen!" All Knicks fans are using this word to express their love for Zhang Chen's goal. Zhang Chen scored successfully and scored the first point for the 2008-2009 Eagles vs Knicks game!

Zhang Chen got two points, and then retreated back to the half and participated in the defense. Eagle King Johnson had also come to Zhang Chen at this time. Of course, the Knicks have also launched a corresponding defense for their attack. In the inside line, the Knicks have lined up and are ready to accept the opponent's attack.

Not only other teams will perform differently in the playoffs, and so will the Knicks. After all, Zhang Chen and D'Antoni are both people who have experienced the playoffs. What's more, D'Antoni can be said to have experienced a hundred battles. With the help of some assistant coaches and defensive coaches, he can naturally arrange Some effective defensive methods.

"It's my turn..." Johnson said to Zhang Chen, and then he moved his feet gently, followed by two headless and brainless continuous change of direction. This kind of disguise is very good for the defensive player. It just so happens that Johnson met Zhang Chen, a member of the first team of the NBA's best defensive lineup this season. Zhang Chen's defense has been tested by practice and many players, and it is quite strong. Johnson's brainless attack soon had problems.

Because Zhang Chen's defensive ability has improved more and more, and now it has reached the level of level ten. It can be said that it is more than enough to prevent this guy. Zhang Chen opened his hands, and then his legs also began to move with a more rhythmic surname. He is trapped in the network he defends.

"Block!" After Johnson made such a gesture, Josh? Howard quickly ran out and came to Zhang Chen and Johnson's side. Johnson took advantage of this time to rush directly into the inside line. Zhang Chen completely reacted, and in a blink of an eye, he accelerated again and defended by his side again. Zhang Chen's defense is quite fast. Keeping up with his footsteps and speed, he can form a trend of encirclement of Johnson again in a blink of an eye. Johnson was shocked and could only hang the basketball directly into the inside line.

Horford, who was inside, received a pass, and then began to fight with David Lee. After a fight, David Lee was finally slightly inferior, allowing Horford to complete a violent layup directly against his shoulder, hit the layup, and the Eagles also scored two points.

Joe? Johnson used an assist to return Zhang Chen's layup after breaking through. Obviously, he had fallen into the upper way. Zhang Chen's strength was vividly displayed at the beginning of the game. Zhang Chen received a pass near the bottom line again, and then the ball control reached the other side's half, and the ball control stood outside the three-point line.

"Defensive defense!" Johnson quickly greeted his teammates. Zhang Chen had just been able to get out of the siege in that situation, which had made these people feel a little powerless. The ball had to defend him directly anyway. Zhang Chen stood outside the three-point line, controlled the ball with his right hand, and then raised his fingers with his left hand to direct his teammates to fall. It seemed that he really had the demeanor of a point guard. Then, Zhang Chen directly used a ** dribble to accelerate the impact.

"It's not that easy..." Johnson hurried up to defend. Although Zhang Chen's current offensive defense is close to the point of no solution, this is the playoffs after all. It's not easy for him to score like the regular season, so his sudden change of charge did not succeed. Zhang Chen bumped into Johnson. Fortunately, he received it quickly, otherwise he might be directly caused an offensive foul by the other side, but Zhang Chen still persisted that there was no chance to fall true at the critical moment.

When Johnson saw that Zhang Chen was blocked by Zhang Chen's first wave of attack, he also had a proud look on his face. After all, Zhang Chen just defended him so that he should not cry every day. Now when he sees that Zhang Chen finally gets retribution, he is also quite comfortable.

However, there was a disdainful smile hanging from the corners of Zhang Chen's mouth. Although his attack just now was blocked, it was absolutely impossible for him to continue.

Zhang Chen used two changes in a row, and then used a direct step, and then his speed had risen to the peak state. In a blink of an eye, he came to the place near the free throw line. At this time, the Eagles once again began their last layer of defense against Zhang Chen. In this way, Zhang Chen wanted If the attack is successful, they must peel off their defense layer by layer.

At this moment, Zhang Chen suddenly jumped high inside the penalty line. In a blink of an eye, he had soared into the air. It seemed that it would be a sharp jump shot.

"Defense!" The three people on the inside line can't care about anything else now. At present, it's serious to prevent Zhang Chen, so they also came up one after another to block, and several people's door has been opened. At this moment, Zhang Chen's shot was like electricity. The hands that he originally planned to jump off were lowered in an instant, and the basketball was instantly suspended from his right hand into the inside line!

Randov, who was inside, was basically completely emptied at this time. After receiving Zhang Chen's pass, he had already felt it. He immediately pulled up and dunked. The basket was shocked. This was a successful assist.

"Bang!" The basket was deformed by Randolph, a violent person. When the audience saw the strong cooperation between Zhang Chen and Randolph, they began to roar one after another:

"DcupDcup~!"

"Damn it!" Randolph, who was quite happy to hear that the audience's mood was getting higher and higher, was quite happy when he understood that the group of people were shouting to him the damn nickname. His nickname was accidentally revealed by Zhang Chen in a quarrel with the reporter. Therefore, people soon found that Hanlandov, who was eight feet tall and had an eight-foot waist circumference, had such an appropriate nickname. Therefore, from then on, Randorf DCUP's nickname could no longer escape, a lot of balls Fans and the audience called him so affectionately.

This made him deeply resentful, so Randov ran over to the right hand that Chen was ready to high-five with him.

Zhang Chen knew the reason for Randolph, so he laughed and then ran through the half to participate in the defense.

At this time, there were many people who were thinking calmly, one of whom was D'Anthony. D'Anthony looked at Zhang Chen's assist Landoff to score, and suddenly there was a strange feeling in his heart. That is Zhang Chen's assist ability has improved again! Wait - it doesn't seem to be his ability to assist, but his overall view!

In the past, although Zhang Chen and Randorf had a wonderful state of cooperation, that is, the wonderful tacit understanding that they could often predict where their opponents would appear in the next second. However, in this situation, Zhang Chen's vision was covered. If it hadn't been for the improvement in his overall view, it would not have been easy for him to find this situation.

After all, Zhang Chen is not a point guard. He can't grasp every point guard well. Therefore, Zhang Chen's ball soon attracted the attention of D'Anthony.

Zhang Chen is indeed making progress. He has seen Zhang Chen's progress and is more confident in the future of the team.

The next ball, there was a problem with the Eagles' attack. David Lee, the Knicks defending Horford, hit a big luck this time and just hit Horford's layup from the sky. The basketball was grabbed by Zhang Chen, who rushed in behind him, and Zhang Chen immediately began to organize a counterattack.

When he came outside the opponent's three-point line, Zhang Chen had stopped his ball control and was ready to make a long-term discussion. At this time, several people in the Knicks' inside line began to go directly to the inside line. Zhang Chen's eyes were like a torch and passed the basketball directly to Du Hong who came to the bottom of the basket. Du Hong lightly avoided his opponent. Hit the basket!

Zhang Chen made another fast attack! D'Antoni nodded.
