Halloween means more free candy for children in the United States, and four costume parties for adults.

Nowitzki was on the plane back to Dallas for a Halloween party, but he was unable to win the right to host the event.

The second senior brother Deron Williams snatched the right to hold the party on the grounds that Jessica, the wife of the King of Promise, was waiting to give birth, and Delon has always liked to do activities, which is also a way for him to deal with his teammates, after all, Delon once got a big contract in the hands of the Nets local tycoon owner.

Even if the state declined under the invasion of injuries and finally reached a buyout agreement with the Nets, the Nets finally had to pay 5.5 million meters of gold every year after the breakup, and the second brother is still a player with an annual salary of more than 10 million.

Although this festival can be the second largest festival in the United States, Chen Zhi really doesn't have much interest in this Western Halloween Festival, Liu Ning is very interested, and as soon as the sky is dark, he has already begun to dress up.

"Chen, what are you going to do?" Liu Ning had been busy for a long time back in Highland Park, and when she saw Chen come out to rest after training, she asked happily, revealing a few vampire fangs as she spoke. However, the four fangs seem to be four tiger teeth, and after Liu Ning dressed them up, instead of being terrifying, Chen Zhi felt a little different from her previous temperament.

Chen Zhi came back to his senses and shrugged his shoulders and teased, "I don't know if I disguised myself as Zhu Bajie to go to the meeting, and the second senior brother would have an opinion." ”

Liu Ning immediately leaned back and smiled when she heard this, "It depends on whether Delong knows that he has such a nickname in Huaxia!" However, you don't really have to dress up as Zhu Bajie, do you? ”

"The three senior brothers are fine, it depends on whether Brother Zhou can buy a mask." Chen Zhi really has no feeling for this festival, but it's not good for him not to participate in team activities, and he plans to hang up a mask.

While talking, Zhou Jian called in, "Chen arrived, I walked around the nearby store, and I didn't see a costume with Chinese elements, so I guess I have to go to Chinatown." ”

"Forget it, don't toss back and forth." Chen Zhi said when he heard this.

"I'll take you a video of the store and see what you need."

Soon the video taken by Zhou Jian was transmitted, Chen Zhi opened it and looked at it, Liu Ning also came over, watched the video a few times, Chen Zhi didn't see the reason, they were all dressed up as Western ghosts, where did he know.

"I don't know any of them, and besides, these costumes are too troublesome! Most of them are a complete set from head to toe! Chen Zhi said speechlessly, "Brother Zhou, you can just buy a white ** slip and come back to get two holes." ”

Liu Ning looked at Chen Zhi from the side, blinked his eyes, and asked tentatively: "You are troublesome, do you want me to draw a vampire shape for you, this is very simple." ”

Chen Zhi nodded very simply when he heard this, he can accept it alone, he is really not picky, and if he can handle it, it will be over.

"It's so convenient for girls to spend Halloween, and they can cosplay by themselves!" Sitting in front of Liu Ning's dresser, watching Liu Ning dress himself up very skillfully, Chen Zhi couldn't help but smile.

"Do you think makeup is easy? I started secretly learning makeup when I was in high school, okay? Liu Ning felt that Chen Zhi's words were a derogation of her dressing techniques, not all girls are born with makeup, they have to learn by heart, and they have to practice on their own faces, this is a very technical job!

"I've been learning makeup since high school!! Gee! Seeing that Liu Ning seemed embarrassed, Chen Zhi sighed for a while, girls are more precocious than boys, and asked, "What are you painting next to the corner of my eye, do vampires have these things?" ”

Liu Ning snorted her head, "That's what the vampires in the rice drama look like when they show their fangs. ”

"Oh." When Chen practiced English in high school, he also watched a few classic rice dramas recommended on the Internet and suitable for English learning, but I haven't seen the evidence on the theme of vampires, and it is estimated that Liu Ning is chasing the popular rice dramas.

After quickly finishing the makeup, Liu Ning threw over a vampire denture with a packaging bag, "Okay, just put it on after scalding it with hot water and disinfecting it." ”

"Oh, by the way, which fairy are you dressing me up?" Finally, Chen Zhi asked.

"It's a vampire!" After a pause, Liu Ning said another English word, "The name can be damon!" ”

"Oh, Devil! I like it! Chen Zhi said.

This Halloween party that made Chen Zhi very insensitive passed quickly, and in the Dallas Cattle team dress, Chen Zhi was the simplest, but there was also a benefit, after taking the photo, Chen Zhi's image could still be recognized by fans, which was very beneficial to soul power collection.

Before going to bed at night, Chen Zhi turned on IG and looked at it, and the fans ridiculed him in various ways.

"Coach Carlisle is like Kim Kelly without makeup, and Kim Kelly is after putting on makeup!"

"V-word vendetta dress up bad, you have to let me know who you are......"

Chen Zhi's outfit didn't attract many onlookers, after all, this outfit was quite ordinary, far less than the outfits of other teammates to steal the spotlight, but some people were commenting.

"Chen to you, a vampire, are you s or d!"

It seems that the demon that Liu Ning drew for herself still has a provenance, Chen Zhi immediately guessed when he saw this, and immediately replied with the letter d, the first letter of the demon is of course d.

Seeing that Liu Ning's IG account was updated, Chen Zhi went in and took a look, it was a selfie of Liu Ning dressed up for Halloween, with a name written on it, Elena.

The Dallas Bulls will play Salt Lake City against the Jazz in their next game, and the Bulls have one day to practice before the game.

Chen Zhi and Zhou Jian rushed to the training center early for training, and soon after, the Bulls players also came to the training hall one after another.

"Congratulations, Chen!" Barnes Road came to the training gym shortly after Chen's arrival.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhi said unexpectedly, he didn't know what Barnes was congratulating on.

"You don't know yet?" Barnes said unexpectedly, "The league has announced the first player of the week, the best player of the week in the East is James, and the best player of the week in the West is you!" ”

"Best of the week!" Chen Zhi suddenly heard that the first week of the NBA new season had indeed passed, and the Dallas Bulls were led by Chen Zhi to win three consecutive victories in the absence of Nowitzki, and Chen Zhi averaged 53.3 points, 15 assists, and 5 rebounds per game, and there was no doubt that he won the Western Conference Weekly Championship.

Every week, the NBA official selects the best player of the week in the East and West, and this honor can be the most inconspicuous among the many honors in the NBA, because the NBA has 22 or weeks each season, according to the different season schedules, that is, there are a total of 44 or 46 times a year, so this award can be the most unworthy honor in the NBA.

If the Player of the Month Pom is not a big honor, especially for some non-superstar players, MVP, assist kings, rebounding kings and the like are basically not with them, and it is already great to win the Player of the Month award.

After all, the NBA only has six monthly best selection opportunities for players in the East and West every year, and it is not easy for ordinary players to be able to play consistently and efficiently within a month.

Chen Zhi doesn't attach much importance to this award, but the players who came after the Dallas Bull still congratulated Chen Zhi many times, after all, this is also Chen Zhi's first honor.

Although Chen Zhi doesn't care, the NBA's announcement of this award does have a certain usefulness, such as further increasing Chen Zhi's exposure, which is Chen Zhi's favorite, and exposure basically means more soul power collection.

I thought that the team would have another day of training to catch up with Utah to challenge the Jazz, but the team had a pre-game meeting in the afternoon, and after the meeting, the whole team flew to Salt Lake City a day earlier.

The Utah Jazz's home stadium, Energy Solutions Arena, is definitely the most famous home stadium in the league.

Just look at their home and away results over the next two seasons to see just how terrifying it is.

07-08 Home record: 37 wins, 4 losses, Away record: 17 wins

08-09 Home Record: 33 Wins, 8 Losses, Away Record: 15 Wins

Generally speaking, NBA teams perform better at home most of the time, which involves many reasons, such as familiarity with the arena environment, no need to experience the fatigue of traveling away from home, etc.

But the gap between other teams home and away is nowhere near the Jazz, whose record at home is truly terrifying.

There are naturally many reasons for this, Salt Lake City is located on the plateau, the air pressure is relatively low, for the players, although it usually does not produce altitude sickness, but for the players' physical consumption, there will be a significant aggravation, Yao Ming played in the NBA period, he played away from home in the Jazz team, and it was particularly easy to get tired after playing for a while.

Players who have been in the plateau all year round and have trained on the plateau are obviously more adaptable to this environment, which is not an advantage for the Jazz.

However, being located on the plateau is only one of them, because the altitude of Salt Lake City is not as high as those plateaus in western China, and the altitude sickness is not huge, and the plateau alone is not enough to form such a huge difference in the performance of Jazz.

You know, although the Jazz team located in Salt Lake City is a ball market, it has produced the Utah Double Brake composed of Stockton and Karl Malone in the history of the team.

Stockton and Karl Malone were once under the leadership of the old coach Sloan, 96-97, 97-98 and the Bulls led by Jordan for two consecutive seasons to meet the finals, although they fell at the feet of God twice, but it is already a great honor to be able to stand on the stage of the finals and compete with the Bulls led by Jordan for two consecutive years, after all, even the four major centers have not gotten rid of the shadow of Jordan in their lives, and Jordan ruled that era.

In the coaching career of the veteran coach Sloan in the Jazz captain, he has already infused iron and blood into the blood of the Jazz team, and they have a fierce defense and tenacious style.

Chinese fans will probably never forget the experience of Yao Ming, Medina's Rockets and Jazz losing in successive competitions for two consecutive years.

Since Stockton retired and the aging Malone switched to the Lakers to become the Lakers F4, the Utah Jazz were at their most powerful during that period, when the second brother was still eating and sleeping and playing Paul.

The most helpless thing for Chinese fans is probably the Jazz's two interior lines, which can be called the two major sufferers of Yao Ming's career, the center Oku who pulls to the three-point line and shoots three-pointers, and Boozer who shoots a high-arc jumper in front of Yao Ming, who moves slowly after blocking and dismantling!

Yao Ming, who was known as the first center in the league at his peak and was guaranteed to be the top two center in the league, was repeatedly frustrated in front of these two players, and he had a strong defense with the ball, but he couldn't prevent it!

At that time, the Jazz team left a deep impression on Chinese fans, and the Jazz team was definitely a hard bone.

After Sloan's veteran coach retired and Deron and Boozer left the Jazz, although the Jazz team no longer had the classic pick-and-roll coordination that reminded people of Utah, the iron-blooded tradition still lives in the blood.

The reason why the Jazz home court is so fearful, and the power of the Jazz home fans is not to be underestimated! This is mainly due to the fact that the Jazz's home stadium is very unique in design, the four stands are very steep, like four walls, and the ability to gather fans in decibels is far higher than other arenas in the league, and playing here is like 20,000 people booing in your ears!

That's why the Salt Lake City Jazz are the least popular away games for league players.

At the same time, the Jazz also have a tradition of arranging hotels for away teams, which are generally far away in the suburbs, and if you want to train at the arena, you have to take a bus back and forth, tossing and turning on the already thin plateau several times, and it is difficult for the players to find good form.

The Bulls rushed to Salt Lake City early to spend the night here.

The Dallas Cattle Squad plane arrived over Salt Lake City and began to gradually reduce its altitude.

The second senior brother Deron Williams, who was wearing a blue headband, looked at the lights of Salt Lake City below through the window on the right-hand side of the plane, his eyes were confused, and his mood became a little heavy.

For DeLong, every Jazz trip is by no means easy, as long as he appears on the court, as long as he touches the ball, there will be countless fans booing.

Even Carlos Boozer, who left the Jazz like him, had to endure far less boos than Delon.

Because, the old coach Sloan, who coached in Salt Lake City, chose to retire gloomily, and ended with the same sadness as the two elders in Salt Lake City, although Delong does not necessarily need to bear all the responsibility, but his many conflicts with the old coach are indisputable facts, and the old coach also made up his mind to resign from the coach position and quit the NBA after arguing with Delong again.

In other teams, the player's fame and status are often higher than the coach, or even much higher, but in the Jazz, being able to coach the team for consecutive years shows how important the Jazz team is to the old coach Sloan, and even the Utah double brake is not the sign of the Jazz, the old coach Sloan is, didn't he single-handedly cultivate the new Utah double Delon and Boozer!

How can you not make the Salt Lake City fans hate you! Delong, who is no longer young and vigorous, thought of the old handsome's silver hair, and sighed!
