In the Highland Park Villa, Liu Ning stood on the edge of the indoor basketball court, looking at Chen Dao, who was training not far away, and the two willow eyebrows frowned lightly.

In the Mavericks' overtime game against the Golden State Warriors, Chen's performance slipped and it looked like it wasn't just because of the physical exertion.

From Chen Zhi's three-point shooting performance in training just now, Liu Ning has already felt the difference, Chen Zhi's previous three-point shooting performance that can always be connected in training is still there, but the number of consecutive shots is much lower than before, which is under normal physical fitness.

However, this is obviously not the focus of Liu Ning's attention, even if Chen's three-point shots tonight are all off.

The training task in the evening ended quickly, and Chen Zhi and Zhou Jian walked towards the sidelines together.

"Chen." Liu Ning handed a towel to the two of them, "Have you gotten taller?" ”

Chen Zhi took the towel, his hand wiping his sweat was suddenly stunned, and he looked at Liu Ning a little incredulously, he only strengthened his height by one centimeter again today, and Liu Ning found out so quickly.

Zhou Jian, who is in charge of picking up the ball, is also wiping his sweat, he feels that he is sweating a lot more today than before, in the past, Chen practiced three-point shooting, he basically just stood under the basket and waited to catch the ball, and now he has to move out to pick up the ball a lot more often.

"Is there one?" Zhou Jian, who heard Liu Ning's words, couldn't help but look up and down next Zhou Jian again, and didn't feel any change.

Chen Zhi snorted and said, "I don't know, but I do feel that my body has recently entered the feeling when I was growing tall some time ago." Moreover, the feeling was even stronger than last time. ”

In the next period of time, he will definitely not be able to hide the change in height, Chen Zhi has already made up his mind to gradually increase his height first, so he simply followed Liu Ning's words and gave them a preventive injection in advance.

"Oh my God, Chen Dao, your previous second development is already a miracle, is it possible that there is a third development!" Zhou Jian couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, "It's better for us to measure it." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Chen Zhi to agree, Zhou Jian immediately pulled Chen Zhi and walked towards a corner of the room, where there were some simple physical measurement tools.

He has to monitor Chen Zhi's weight changes on weekdays, and yesterday he found that Chen Zhi's weight fluctuated a little, higher than before, but it was within the normal range, so he didn't pay special attention.

"It's said that girls are as careful as hair, and sure enough, I don't feel that Chen Zhi this guy has grown again!" Looking at the scale of 190 centimeters in weight and height, Zhou Jian sighed.

"I've really grown two centimeters taller, I said that your recent three-point hand has been a little fluctuating, and it's not as stable as before!" Zhou Jian finally found the reason for his sweat on the training ground today, and also found the reason for Chen Zhi's weight gain.

"I see." Chen Zhi blinked and nodded, with a look of sudden realization, as if he was also bothered by his own three-point feeling, obviously he knew that this was far from the case.

After practicing, Chen Zhi routinely entered the bathroom, and as soon as he came out of the bathroom, he saw Zhou Jian sitting in the living room with his mobile phone and waving to him.

"What's the matter, Brother Zhou, looking at your expression, it's a happy event." Chen Zhi had already found that Zhou Jian tried his best to hide his face, but he still couldn't hide his joy.

"Probably your record 60+ triple-doubles have finally completely conquered the Audi business department." Zhou Jian said with a smile, "I've been in contact with them for the past two days, and I just sent me an email that they are ready to sign an endorsement contract in advance, and they sent a contract template." ”

There are many historical records in the NBA, but the gold content is very different, like Chen Zhi's 60+ triple-doubles that set a historical record, it is by no means comparable to how many points he has scored, Chen Zhi's strength and value have been undoubtedly revealed.

Chen Zhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, no matter what, this is indeed good news.

However, Chen Zhi found out that the scholarships he received when he was studying had never been touched in the bank card in the end, and it was really not without reason.

When the Mavericks' big contract fell, he was indeed a little shocked, mainly because he didn't expect to receive the top salary, and he was more moved by the full sincerity contained in it, rather than the specific amount.

Although Chen Zhi signed a contract with the Mavericks with a maximum salary, so far, Chen Zhi has not received a penny, and the first payday of the NBA is November 15, which is still a few days away. After becoming famous, the money that really arrived at Chen was not much, that is, the millions of endorsement fees of Yuqun Group, of course, compared to the income of ordinary people, this is also a huge amount of money.

Maverick's contract is enough for Chen Zhi, and more money doesn't mean much, it will only gradually become a string of numbers in the bank.

With the contract with Audi, Chen Zhi knew that the amount would definitely not be small, but he felt a little excited, at least until he found the money in his hands that could make it more meaningful.

"Are you satisfied with this amount?" Zhou Jian said and handed the phone to Chen Dao.

Chen Zhi didn't take the phone, just glanced at it, the eight-figure contract is as good as his half-year salary, Audi's contract is not ungenerous, it is definitely a supergiant-level big contract, even if James and Curry are now the hottest superstars in the NBA, that is, at this price.

"If there are no problems, they will be in Dallas tomorrow ready to sign." Zhou Jian said again.

Chen Zhi just nodded.

The eight-figure contract made Zhou Jian, the agent, extremely excited, but he didn't expect Chen Zhi to just react like this, this was the first transaction after he became Chen Zhi's agent, and he negotiated it independently.

Chen Zhi's reaction made Zhou Jian, who lamented how wise he was to reject the initial contract of Audi, suddenly felt a little less accomplished.

In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Zhi and Zhou Jian attended the signing ceremony of Audi together, and Zhou Jian really adapted to his role as Chen Zhi's agent, and took care of all the details very well.

However, it is a pity that the sports car finally selected by Chen Zhi has not been delivered to Chen Zhi, but fortunately, according to the Audi commercial officer who attended the signing ceremony, the car has been installed from the Italian headquarters and driven out of the port, and will soon enter the United States customs.

That's right, from the Italian headquarters instead of the German headquarters, Chen Zhi finally chose Audi's Lamborghini brand supercar, probably Chu Hugo's hurricane's style style left a deep enough impression on Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi's current level is still at the level of looking at the sports car shape, after all, this is still his first car.

When he returned to Dallas after about two Eastern Conference road trips, the two cars that belonged to Chen should have been parked in his garage in Highland Park.

The dust has finally settled on Chen Zhi's contract with Audi, and the signing of this big contract has made Mavericks fans very happy, and they have left messages on social media and online forums to congratulate Chen Zhi.

However, soon, the wind direction of the major forums where Maverick fans gathered changed, and all the blessings were blown to the old drivers who had missed a few games.

The reason is naturally not that the old driver also signed a big contract like Chen Zhi, and that guy probably will never break any contract rumors again.

However, Nowitzki must be much happier at this time than Chen Zhi to get a big contract, he just had his third child!

The couple's first child was a daughter, followed by two boys.

The old driver is very soft on the field, but it should be hard off the field! The place where Mavericks fans gather is this general tone, and the old driver is really soft!

Pity a certain famous Lakers who has just retired, and at this time he is inexplicably lying down.

The four-day break passed quickly, and the Mavericks began to take off from the runway and flew all the way to the northeast.

The target of this battle is Madison Square Garden!

Madison Square Garden, home of the New York Knicks.

If Rock Park is the mecca of street basketball, then Madison Square Garden is the mecca of NBA basketball.

In the history of the NBA, which is neither long nor short, the NBA veterans, only the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics have been in their original cities, and Madison Square Garden has been the home of the Knicks during this period.

Although the address of the arena has changed, the name Madison Square Garden has always been used, and this arena can be said to be the veteran of the NBA.

NBA players are proud to play well at Madison Square Garden.

Kobe Bryant's most famous single-game score, first of all, is naturally the 81 points of the Dragon Slayer, probably second only to the 61 points cut at Madison Square Garden in 09, just because this score is cut here, it is enough to make it second only to the Dragon Slayer, more well-known than other higher scores.

In the years that followed, Bryant's score was the Madison Square Garden scoring record, until Anthony finally snatched the record back to the New Yorkers with 62 points.

03 The super platinum generation's flower show, the little melon Cameron Anthony, after more than ten years in the league, has become an old melon, at least New Yorkers probably can't feel the slightest sweetness, like chicken ribs, it's a pity to abandon it tastelessly.

He was once the biggest player who was most likely to save the Knicks after the Ewing era, but now he has accompanied the Knicks to sink in the mud.

Perhaps New York is indeed too bustling to even make the stars who come here lose their fighting spirit, and the highest number of wins in New York in the last three years is only in the early 30s, and Anthony is even more questioned here.

After the Zen master, who had made brilliant achievements in his coaching career, became the president of the New York Knicks, instead of saving New York, he stirred up the Knicks even worse, and even the achievements of the coaching period were constantly questioned, and the triangle offensive tactics have completely become the object of ridicule.

Between Anthony and the Zen master, there are repeated contradictions.

In this offseason, the New York Knicks ushered in a new head coach, Jeff Hornacek, and also got Rose, Noah and other players.

It's a pity that the scarred Rose has long been destined to lose the courage of the year, and the best defensive player and rebounding maniac Han Noah of the year, like his big brother Rose, who is willing to follow, is also troubled by injuries.

After the start of the season, the team still has not shown the slightest sign of improvement, and even the head coach can't pay attention to what tactics the team is going to play, and it is obviously difficult for such a team to achieve any good results.

After nine games so far, there are only three measly wins.

However, Knicks fans will still have some expectations for today's game, and their current win rate at home is not bad, winning 3 of 4 home games, in other words, the Knicks have won all of their victories so far at home, and have not won a game on the road.

The Dallas Mavericks, who lost to the Warriors in their last game, are naturally full of confidence in this game after a few days of recuperation.

When the plane took off from Dallas, Justin Anderson noticed that Chen Zhi was in a particularly good mood, humming a Chinese tune that he didn't understand for a long time.

After the plane landed at the airport and saw the little girl waving to the Mavericks, Justin Anderson finally knew why Chen Zhi, a guy who has always been calm, was in such a good mood, and it was not because of the huge endorsement before!

Feelings, let's play the game, you're a pickled girl!

Chen Zhi was naturally very happy to see Merorry at the airport, and immediately walked towards Merorry.

"Why are you here!" Chen Zhi knew that he would meet Merorry here, but he didn't expect her to come back to pick her up, and the meeting place they agreed to meet was the hotel where the Mavericks would be stationed.

Chen Zhi found that Merorry seemed to have a kind of obsessive preference for peaked caps, and this time when he saw Merorry, he was still wearing a peaked cap, but it was replaced with black, but no matter how delicate the hat was, it was difficult to take away the brilliance of the golden hair.

As he spoke, Chen Dao, who was unconsciously speeding up under his feet, soon walked in front of Merorry.

It's just that when he came to Merorry, Chen Zhi was a little in a hurry. I wanted to give me a hug, but I stopped halfway, and I didn't know how to greet Merorry for a while.

Chen Zhi definitely wanted to hug Merorry into his arms, but this was indeed only the second time the two met, and there was no clear relationship.

Merori quickly hugged Chen Zhi's waist and resolved Chen Zhi's temporary embarrassment, "I waited at the hotel for a while, and I can't wait to come here." ”

Merorrie's smile when she spoke made Chen Zhi a little intoxicated, obviously feeling that she had a lot to say to Merorrie, but after meeting, she just wanted to keep looking at her smile.

Seeing Chen Zhi's stupid look at herself, Merorrie smiled even more brilliantly, looking at Chen Zhi's pure and loving eyes, Merorrie showed her hand and stroked the hair that drooped to the side of her face.

Mavericks owner Cuban has been busy for the U.S. election for some time ago, and after the election finally came to an end and Trump took office, he also came to New York with the team at this moment.

"Chen Dao, hurry up and take this girl away!" Cuban shouted loudly in the distance.

Although he knew that this girl was the daughter of the owner of the Bucks, he didn't have much to worry about, as long as he wanted, Chen Zhi would definitely play for the Mavericks for four years, and the contract had just been signed, so there was no need to worry about Chen Zhi being abducted to Milwaukee by this girl.

What's more, the speed at which a young NBA player like Chen Zhi changes girlfriends is definitely faster than changing teams, and Cuban is very confident in this.

Just like at Yangda, Chen Zhi has always treated himself as part of the team, and even now that he has become the absolute core of the Mavericks, he still does so and never asks for any privileges.

It stands to reason that he would first have to check in with the team to the hotel, but now that Cuban has spoken, he has no reason to refuse this kind offer.

"Where are you going?" Chen Zhi, who was new to New York, asked.

"My family?" Merorry winked and laughed.
