scored 81 points against the Rockets, and although it was a preseason game, Chen Zhi still became popular on major sports forums and social forums.

For the doubts about the data brush on the Internet, Chen Zhi didn't care at all, over the years, I don't know how many players in the NBA league have been questioned as data brushes, but there are really no ones who can brush up to 81 points, to some extent, brushing a high score that others can't reach, it's enough to prove that this is not a score, but a score!

What's more, in this game, the Dallas Mavericks won a big victory against the Rockets, and it can only be said that Chen Zhi is indeed suspected of fighting for statistics.

But what rookie who is just entering the league doesn't want a super high stats, and rookies have a tradition of swiping data.

For example, Durant was overwhelmed by Oden the Great in the draft that year, and was finally selected by the Seattle SuperSonics at that time.

Durant, who won the league scoring title four times in five years and once won three consecutive scoring titles, is undoubtedly the top scorer at the moment.

However, in the 07-08 rookie year, Durant was a famous blacksmith, with a three-point shooting rate of only 28.8%, and Durant was questioned at that time!

However, the SuperSonics still put their trust in him, averaging 34 minutes per game and 17 shots, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 42.2% the following year, eventually making him a top-three superstar in the league.

In fact, this is true of all work, and if you want to become more proficient, you have to repeat it. The same is true of playing in the NBA, only players who get the opportunity and are trusted by the team can eventually rise to the top in the NBA and eventually become a superstar, if they don't get the opportunity, even if they are talented, they can be buried.

Daco Milicic, this is probably a forgotten name, in the 03 super platinum generation, he beat Carmelo Anthony, Bosh, Wade and other league superstars, only under James, the chosen son, to become the leader of the year.

However, the star of the list averaged only 4.7 minutes per game for the championship-winning Pistons, and almost all of it was garbage time.

This extremely talented player, who spent his most crucial first three years on the Pistons bench, and most importantly had a shattered confidence, ended up with nothing in the NBA, far from realizing his potential, which is really embarrassing, and if he had been drafted by a rebuilding team, then this name may be in its prime.

So although Chen Zhi is suspected of brushing data, it is not a big deal, many rookies in the bad team are brushed, and it can even be said that rookies have to brush data if they want to become famous.

What's more, for Chen Zhi, who has the current one, brushing points is also a task, because the Dallas Mavericks, who treat him as the core, will use tactics to create countless opportunities for him to score easily, obviously in the eyes of Dallas, he is Durant, not Milicic.

The Dallas Mavericks management was very efficient, and when Chen came to the arena for training the next afternoon, he found that various Mavericks advertisements had appeared on many traffic arteries in the city.

Nowitzki, Chen, and Barnes have become the Dallas Mavericks Big Three! However, judging from the focus of the advertising campaign, there is no doubt that Chen Zhi has become the new core of the Dallas Mavericks.

Even if Dallas has a lot of die-hard fans of the Nortian Kings, the Mavericks will still focus on Chen Zhi in the new season, and Cuban, Carlisle and others arranged for Chen Zhi to score points in the last game, which is undoubtedly announcing this change in the team to fans.

The afternoon training ended quickly.

As soon as the training ended, Chen Zhi stopped training, which surprised King Nuo.

Although Chen Zhi has always been the first player on the team to appear in the training hall, after the afternoon training, he will still practice more, and many players from the Dallas Mavericks will practice.

"Hey, Chen Dao, aren't you going to go home with me so early today?" Novitsky asked with a smile.

Since Nowitzki knew that he and Chen were very close, they usually returned to Highland Park together after training.

"I don't practice today, there are guests at home, so I have to go first." Chen Zhi replied.

"Got guests? It can't be a date, right? Nowitzki joked casually.

Chen Zhi smiled and pointed to the sneakers on his feet.

Seeing this, King Nuo Tianwang looked at the pair of sneakers on Chen Zhi's feet, and heard Chen Zhi say that this was Wade's signature shoes, and Dirk immediately said, "Are your sneakers here?" ”

Chen Zhi nodded with a smile and left the locker room with Zhou Jian.

"By the way, Chen Dao, your driver's license has been sent to your home today, and you can drive in the United States by yourself in the future."

On the way back, Zhou Jian suddenly remembered this incident.

"So fast!" Chen Zhi said with some surprise. A few days ago, he passed the road test, but he still had to wait for the driver's license to be sent.

Zhou Jian smiled when he heard this: "Then are you going to buy a new car, it just so happens that the lease period of this car is also approaching, and the top-paid players sit in this second-hand car all day long, which is a bit unreasonable, I have heard the staff of the stadium talk about it in private." ”

Chen Zhiwen, who was the co-pilot, nodded, now that the driver's license is in hand, it's time to change the car, but what kind of car to change has to be considered.

Back at Highland Park's residence, Chen found a van parked at the intersection, and it was the car that delivered his shoes. Chen is currently the highest-level contracted player in Lining, and the sneakers sent are naturally indispensable.

Zhou Jian parked the car in the garage, and when he saw that Chen was about to walk towards the car that was transporting sneakers, he immediately pulled him down, "Go back to the house to meet the guests first." ”

"Guest?" Chen Zhi was surprised.

"Just check it out!" Zhou Jian just smiled and didn't say who the guest was.

Chen Zhi looked towards the door, only to find that the door turned out to be yes, obviously someone was in the house.

After walking into the hall, seeing the young man in a wheelchair, Chen Zhi was surprised and said, "Brother Chu, why are you here!" ”

Chu Yusheng said with a smile, "I was going to come to the United States to discuss business, and it just so happened that the company was going to send you sneakers today, so I stopped by to see you, I heard that you scored 81 points yesterday, which is amazing!" ”

"Chen arrives! Hello! A female voice suddenly came.

Chen Zhi noticed that there were still people on the sofa on the side, and when he turned his head, he suddenly felt a little flustered, and said in surprise: "Why are you here?" ”

Chen Zhi naturally knew about Chu Yusheng's shareholding in Lining, so although Chu Yusheng's appearance here made him a little surprised, it was not too surprising.

But Liu Ning's appearance here was completely unexpected.

At this time, she should be attending classes on the campus of Yangda University, and the new semester will start for more than a month.

Since Chen Zhi participated in the NBA draft, he has not seen Liu Ning for a long time, and in fact, Chen Zhi has not had much contact with her.

Looking at Liu Ning in front of him, Chen Zhi found that Liu Ning, who had a very gentle personality before, after losing her long hair, had a somewhat different temperament from before, and had more of a down-and-out taste, not like the little jasper before.

"What, can't I come here?" Liu Ning looked at Chen Dao, with unconcealable joy on her brows.

Chen Zhi smiled: "Yes, of course, you are very welcome!" ”

"It's okay!" It seems that after changing her hairstyle, Liu Ning does have some meaning to start all over again, her personality is much more cheerful than before, and she raised a beautiful brow and continued, "Since you are so welcome, then I will stay in Dallas from now on." ”

After speaking, the two Qiushui looked at Chen Zhi with long eyes and a smile.

"Stay in Dallas?" Chen Zhi looked at her expression, and seemed to be a little serious in his joke, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Liu Ning saw that Chen Zhi was a little stunned, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen Zhi, as the resident reporter of Penguin Sports in Dallas, can I ask you a few questions!" ”

When Chen Zhi was still in the training hall, Chu Yusheng had already communicated with Liu Ning, and seeing Chen Zhi's performance at this moment, Xindao This younger brother is really not high enough EQ, at least in terms of treating girls, EQ is seriously in arrears, he said with a smile: "This Liu Ning girl is now the resident reporter of Penguin Sports in Dallas!" ”

"Penguin Sports' resident Dallas correspondent?" Chen Zhi said in disbelief, "How did you become a reporter and still live in Dallas?" ”

Chen Zhi is very inexplicable, Liu Ning and himself are students of the same year, and now she is only a sophomore, and she is still very early before graduation, how could Corporate Sports hire her as a front reporter?

"I am an exchange student at YSU and the University of Texas at Dallas. In addition, I had a classmate relationship with someone, and I had a close relationship, and I told the interviewer of Penguin Sports some interesting stories about someone's school days, so naturally I stood out in the competition for the job of a resident reporter in front of Penguin Sports. Liu Ning said it as a matter of course.

Chen Zhi was dumbfounded when he heard this, obviously he was that person, which was reasonable.

"I want to earn my own tuition when I go to the United States as an exchange student, I just want to find a lucrative job, sorry for using your signboard!" Liu Ning smiled and grinned, how could she look half sorry.

Chen Zhi spread his hands and said helplessly: "When did you arrive in the United States?" Where do you live now? ”

Liu Ning's short companionship during the Mid-Autumn Festival had a lot of weight in Chen Zhi's heart, although he had little contact with Liu Ning, but he had always felt very close to this fellow countryman. At this moment, Liu Ning is a girl in a foreign country, and Chen Zhi has to care.

"Just arrived today and rented an apartment in Dallas." Liu Ning replied.

"Just yourself? Are there any other colleagues? Chen Zhi couldn't help but ask, the security in Dallas is not bad, especially in a wealthy area like Highland Park, but other places are not necessarily very good.

"In addition to me, there is also a camera team!" Liu Ning said casually.

Chen Zhi frowned and said, "Why don't you move to me!" Anyway, several bedrooms are idle. ”

Chu Yusheng pushed his glasses when he heard this, and said in his heart that this younger brother is really violent, so he invited other girls to live directly.

Liu Ning also looked at Chen Zhi in a daze when she heard this.

Looking at Liu Ning's strange expression, Chen Zhi suddenly thought of something, "I mean, there are a few of your colleagues, you can all move over, it's just lively, Brother Zhou and I are in a big house, it's really a little too lonely." ”

"That's it!" Liu Ning just said this, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

Chen Zhi snorted, feeling as if he had indeed done something wrong, but the invitation just now was indeed just out of concern for Liu Ning's safety, and he definitely didn't have the slightest other thoughts, after all, Dallas had just shot a police officer not long ago, and it was a big uproar, and Cuban also donated $1 million to the Dallas Police Department for this matter.

It's just that what he said just now, any girl who hears it, I'm afraid she will think about it more, and even take more precautions against him.

"I feel that the United States is quite dangerous, I don't know if those colleagues are willing to move here, I must be willing to move over!" Liu Ning pondered for a moment and said, looking around the room, "Your house is much more comfortable than the apartment I rented, and it would be stupid not to move here!" ”

Although she tried her best to say it casually, Liu Ning still felt that her heart was beating faster.

I thought about declining just now, but she really didn't want to miss this opportunity to be able to get closer to Chen.

During this time, I worked harder than I did in the college entrance examination, studying until midnight every day, all of which was learning basketball-related knowledge, in order to get closer to Chen Zhi?

Obviously, what Liu Ning just said is very simple and easy to stand out from Penguin Sports, and there is a lot of hard work behind her.

"Oh, then you should move here as soon as possible, Highland Park should be closer to your school!"

Chen Zhi heard Liu Ning say that she was willing to move over, but fortunately Liu Ning didn't think much about it, it was definitely a wise decision for her to move over.

Chu Yusheng saw that the two of them were finished talking, so he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "There are still some official things to do!" ”

Hearing Chu Yusheng clapping his hands, a few cameramen carrying long guns and short cannons came in outside the door.

"The scene of your sneakers will be recorded, you know, business can never be separated from hype. The regular season begins, and your signature shoes are ready to be available. Chu Yusheng said with a smile.

Chen Zhi nodded when he heard this, and reached out to take the few shoeboxes that were sitting on the seat.

In fact, in the design process of the sneakers, Chen Zhi has been involved in it, and he is no stranger to this pair of sneakers, but Chen Zhi is still confident in his acting skills, which is completely the surprise and satisfaction when he saw his sneakers for the first time.

The shoes were eventually named the Lost Draft Collection! This is the name that Chen Zhi finally chose.

Losing the draft doesn't look very lucky, and it's a bit of a name for Sun Shan.

However, Chen Zhi likes this word, because it has now become almost synonymous with him, just as Harden's beard is his trademark, and now the NBA draft loss has become Chen's trademark. When it comes to beards, it refers to Harden, and when it comes to losing the draft, the first thing that comes to mind is Chen Dao.

And the undrafted players who can stand on the NBA are every player who is diligent, hardworking, persistent and courageous, and the series of shoes that are undrafted undoubtedly contain this spirit.

That's why Chen Zhi chose this name from the many proposals.
