Today's beard is indeed an excellent team cornerstone and leader, although he may not be able to turn the tide every time at critical moments, he definitely dares to stand up and take responsibility.

Although Harden returned the ball after the Mavericks took the lead, the score was still overtaken by the Mavericks again, as Chen quickly completed the single in front of Ariza again.

Ariza, who has just been knocked down by Chen Zhihuang once, is eager to regain face, hoping to prove himself on the defensive end in this round, but the more he is so earnest, the more difficult it will be to defend well, and it is easier to eat feints if his mind is not calm enough. Chen Zhi forcibly broke through with a sudden start, and suddenly pulled back halfway to step back, Ariza had already plunged into the penalty area, and Chen Zhi easily scored three points! If it was a cool-headed Ariza, he would never be thrown so far at once, and being thrown to the ground at that moment really affected his mentality and defense!

Ariza had some nameless anger rising in her heart, and she didn't know if it was to herself or Chen, probably both.

Harden saw that Ariza was a little frantic after being singled by Chen, and immediately walked up to him and patted Ariza on the back to calm him down.

"Don't treat him like a rookie, just treat him as Durant and James right now, and they score the ball, that's right, and the defensive success is earned!"

Harden's words calmed Ariza, who was on the verge of a mental explosion.

Indeed, at least since the beginning of this season, this rookie has performed more against the sky and more dazzling than the supergiants like James and Durant!

Ariza crossed his waist and looked at the rookie who returned to the backcourt with an indifferent face, and finally believed that this rookie scored 81 points and 58 points one after another, which is definitely not accidental, let alone a data brush, he has absolute strength!

After Chen Zhi completely took over the game, although Harden stood up to respond, the Rockets still lost this game, and in the last two minutes, Chen Zhi scored 14 points, while the Houston Rockets only scored 9 points for Harden.

The match ended quickly with the referee's whistle.

"It was a game of real ups and downs, the Houston Rockets fell behind by a big score at first, managed to take the lead in the final quarter, and just when we thought the Rockets would win the game, the draft picked up the game and led the Mavericks back to the advantage and eventually win!" Van Gundy gave a routine summary after the game.

Mark Jackson said: "It's unbelievable that Chen Zhi, a rookie, scored 50+ points again in the game! In another game of the Thunder against the Suns, Westbrook cut a super triple-double of 51 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, leading the Thunder to a 1-point narrow victory over the Suns, I thought Westbrook would undoubtedly be the best today, but I didn't expect that in the final game today, Chen Zhi cut 52 points, 14 assists and 7 rebounds! It was a crazy match day today, with two players each scoring 50+ and a super triple-double! ”

Van Gundy pouted and shook his head slightly, his expression of amazement was unmistakable, "I think there is another person to add, and the thick eyebrows with 45 points and 17 rebounds are as amazing!" ”

"It's a pity that Chen Zhi and Westbrook both led the team to victory, and after contributing such a super data, thick eyebrows still failed to lead the team to a victory, and he also contributed 50+ luxury data in the last game, and the team also failed to win! At the beginning of the new season, Anthony Davis has already secured the position of the leader of the empty slashing group! ”

With a wave of Chen Zhi who broke out in the final time of the game, he successfully rejected Anthony Davis' invitation from the air slashing group, and at this moment he was communicating with Harden, who was on a two-game losing streak.

Chen Zhi, who won the game at the same time, was naturally very relaxed, and Harden, who ushered in two consecutive defeats, thought of the next game of the Rockets, which was to face the Dallas Mavericks again at home, and was immediately full of pressure, and a bad one is likely to usher in three consecutive defeats in the opening season!

They once trailed by nearly 20 points in this game, and if it weren't for the Mavericks' near-collective iron, the Rockets would have lost very ugly, far from being as deadlocked as they are now.

"Good fight!" Harden said this to Chen Zhi, but he was thinking in his heart, it's a pity that Beverley is injured!

After witnessing Chen's comeback in the final two minutes, Beverley, who was injured and sidelined, was the person Harden misses the most. Ariza's defense is good, but compared to Beverley's biting defense, the effect is still far worse! Beverley's mad dog-like defensive style is more effective in disrupting the opponent's rhythm and affecting the opponent's state.

Da Yao appeared on the side of the court at the American Airlines Center, Chen Zhi and Harden chatted briefly, and naturally walked to Yao Ming on the sidelines.

"The game was very exciting!" Yao Ming looked at the two people who came over and said with a smile.

"Ah, sort of!" Harden showed a large number of whites of his eyes, and said helplessly, for the Rockets, it is really not exciting, how can losing be wonderful for players!

Yao Ming immediately smiled when he heard this, "It's okay, our Rocket team still has a chance to get back on the field at home!" ”

Even if Da Yao shows up in Dallas to watch Chen in the opening game in Dallas, the Rockets are still his forever home team.

Chen Zhi smiled when he heard this, "Brother Yao, if you say this in front of me, I will be cold!" ”

Yao Ming looked at the little brother with a smile on his face, who had a little chill on his face, and smiled, "If you win the game, you will be good!" ”

"Would you like to go out and have some supper together?" Chen Zhi asked.

"Well, don't call me if you do go for supper!" Harden obviously didn't really want to go for a simple supper, after all, he usually eats it in his arms.

"Don't go, I have to fly back to Huaxia early tomorrow morning. Besides, I also saw that your college teammates have come to cheer them on, so I'm afraid you'll have to accompany them! Yao Ming smiled, "I'm old, I can't compare to you young people, I can't stay up late, I live a very regular life now, I have to take care of my health!" ”

"Chen Dao, greet you well when you get to my territory, you know! Let's talk, I'll go back to the locker room first! The bearded man said two words and said goodbye, Chen Zhi and Yao Ming communicated in Huaxia he didn't understand, obviously he didn't want two Huaxia people to communicate in English in front of him, so he simply said goodbye first, after all, with these two people, the night is destined not to be exciting!

"You have to hold on when you get to Houston, don't be spoiled by Harden!" After Harden left, Da Yao said this very unkindly.

It's no wonder he deliberately instructed him, after all, pickled pepper is the king of NBA fishing, and Harden is the king of NBA nightclubs, this is indisputable, Harden's hospitality, needless to say, must be the call of the nightclub!

Chen is now the face of Chinese basketball, and the whole of China is paying attention to him, although now Huaxia is much more open than before, but cultural differences still exist, and going in and out of nightclubs, in the eyes of most people in Huaxia, is definitely not a serious matter, and it has a negative impact on Chen Zhi's image.

If Yao Ming knew that Chen Zhi had been to the most famous strip club in Dallas under the leadership of his teammates, he wouldn't know what to think! Thanks to Chen Zhi's image is really not eye-catching, and he has been drinking and listening to music under the protection of Zhou Jian, and he didn't even keep a young lady who accompanied the wine, and his visit to the strip club was not exposed.

For the mention of his predecessors, Chen Zhi nodded and smiled, he didn't have such a big hobby for nightclubs, but he knew that many stars went to nightclubs to relax purely when they went to nightclubs, which is a way of leisure, after all, the NBA games are basically over late at night, and there are not many leisure places that are normally open.

"Chen Dao, I came to Dallas this time, not only to cheer you on, but also to talk to you about CUBA, after all, you are a star who came out of CUBA, and you feel more direct and have more right to speak." Yao Ming obviously didn't plan to stay longer, and chatted with Chen Zhi directly on the sidelines.

Chen Zhi said, "Brother Yao, let me introduce you to a person, she definitely has more say than me for cuba, Yang University Champion Coach!" ”

Saying that, Chen Zhi beckoned to Jiang Lanyue on the sidelines, not wanting to wave this way, all the players of the Yang University varsity team came over in unison.

After all, Da Yao is the pinnacle legend of Chinese basketball, even if he has retired, his popularity in China is still undiminished, especially in the hearts of these college athletes, it is a very noble existence, to put it mildly, although Nowitzki is higher than Yao Ming's achievements in the NBA, but in the hearts of these people in Yangda, Da Yao is by no means a grade.

After Jiang Lanyue heard Chen Zhi's intention to call her over, she didn't say much, but concluded very concisely: "Sports is the foundation, CBA is the signboard, CUBA is the soil, and business is the booster, all of which are indispensable!" ”

Yao Ming nodded when he heard this, and sighed solemnly: "The tree is a thousand feet high, and it can't be separated from the roots!" ”

Chen Zhi thought that the two would chat for a while, but he didn't expect to say such a sentence from beginning to end. Jiang Lanyue's words seemed to speak to Yao Ming's heart, and it also made the originally wavering thoughts in his heart more firm.

At the request of the Yangda players, Da Yao took a group photo with everyone before leaving.

"Didn't Brother Yao ask you about CUBA, how did you go to CBA?"

On the way back to Highland Park, Chen Zhichao asked Jiang Lanyue, who was sitting beside him.

"Have you not paid attention to domestic basketball news since you arrived in the United States?" Jiang Lanyue said with a roll of her eyes.

Chen Zhi snorted, "Take a look once in a while." For Jiang Lanyue's contempt, he instinctively resisted.

However, the occasional frequency of his words is close to zero. Chen Zhi has never played CBA, and there is very little news about CUBA, to be honest, before the national competition, BA he also pays attention to Li Xuedong, as for other people, he doesn't know at all, and even rarely hears of it, so let alone pay attention. After all, he didn't even think much of the NBA at the beginning, and only focused on his own basketball guys.

"Huaxia basketball has reached the stage of reform, to establish a CBA company, the news said that it seems that the industrial and commercial registration procedures have been completed, the industrial and commercial bureau has also issued a business license, Yao Ming seems to be at least a director, and even the chairman, he is naturally concerned about the development of the entire Huaxia basketball, in fact, the development of CBA has encountered a bottleneck, or the development has been not good It is normal, because the soil of Huaxia basketball is not deep enough, and the CBA has not really taken root." Jiang Lanyue said.

"Do you know what that means?" Seeing Chen Zhi staring at him, as if he understood or not, Jiang Lanyue asked.

Chen Zhi shook his head very calmly, after all, the expression just now was probably betraying himself.

"The NBA has really flourished in the past twenty or thirty years, but before that, the basketball system of the University of the United States has been relatively perfect, and the degree of attention is even higher than that of the NBA! Michigan Five Tigers, the most famous players in the NCAA, you should have heard of it, the popularity in the United States is not under those rock stars, it doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, in short, the basketball system of the United States, from bottom to top, especially high school and college, the system is very complete, this is the soil of basketball in the United States. It can even be said that basketball has been integrated into the blood of this country, and several Chinese basketball players are like Iverson and Harden, even if they are single-parent families, they still regard basketball as their life since they were young, and they practice diligently every day! ”

"Don't you have one in front of you..."Chen Zhitian said shamelessly.

"Hehe, you regarded basketball as a face!" Jiang Lanyue had long known that Chen had only started to contact basketball when he was competing with the little ruffian.

Chen Zhi felt that he was with Jiang Lanyue, and he was always a little shameless, which was completely different from when he was with other girls, this kind of feeling that he was quite shameless, and he was quite comfortable!

Of course, the other girls, so far, probably only Liu Ning is barely one!

Zhou Jian drove the way, followed by several taxis, and all the players of the Yang University varsity team visited Chen Zhi's villa in Highland Park.

However, Chen couldn't sleep so many people here, and after playing for a while, they still had to go back to the hotel to rest, and then rush back to Yangcheng tomorrow.

Fortunately, there are really a lot of entertainment facilities in the small villa here, such as home theater, billiards room, gym, basketball court, and game room, otherwise so many people will arrive, and they can only be divided into N groups to play landlords and enough levels!

Not surprisingly, the game room and home theater are the most popular places, most of them are concentrated in these two places, and a few are playing billiards.

Chen Zhi came to the basketball room with Jiang Lanyue, because they heard the snapping sound of the basketball hitting the ground from the ball room.

"Ah, he took over as the new captain of Yangda, right?"

The two didn't enter the basketball room, they just stood outside the door and saw through the glass the guy who was practicing inside, Zhang Zexin!

"Gu Fei was the captain for a while, and then that guy took the initiative to propose to let Xian, and he became the captain." Jiang Lanyue said.

Chen Zhi looked at the guy who was focusing on practicing basic movements, nodded and said, "I was a little surprised by his progress, his body shape and ball skills have grown a lot, I remember, his physical confrontation last year was still a lot worse!" It seems that only those who can endure loneliness and continue to train are worthy of progress. ”

Jiang Lanyue sighed, "It's a pity that when he competed in cuba last year, he didn't even participate with the team, so having more competition experience should be good for him." ”

"I guess not being able to compete with the team also gave him more motivation to practice!" Chen Zhi said thoughtfully, "It seems that even without me and Li Xuedong, Yangda will still be a strong team!" ”

"It's true that the team is strong, but the championship may not be enough, and it will take some luck. But with a training freak like you at the head of the team, the new recruits this year will probably grow up soon, and I should be able to compete for the championship again in my last year of college next year. Jiang Lanyue said.

Hearing this, there was silence for a moment, and Chen Zhi asked cautiously. "What are you going to do after college?"

Jiang Lanyue looked into the distance outside the villa, although the lights were bright, they couldn't shine through the inky night in the distance.

"I don't know."
