It turns out that there are still so many people who can remember my life...... Zhang Chen muttered in his heart, and then opened the last unread text message, and the name on it was Liu Xuan: "Happy life...... Don't wonder why I know your birth...... You know that I'm as a person as my name is always mysterious. ”

Zhang Chen shook his head and smiled, he knew that he was not lonely, he must not.

Seeing these people's blessing text messages, although they didn't have any intention of giving themselves gifts, Zhang Chen also felt that his heart was warm now.

At this time, the mobile phone in his hand buzzed again, and when Zhang Chen looked at the text message, it turned out to be Lena's. Zhang Chen already had a guess in his heart, thinking that it must be Lena who didn't know where he knew his birth from, and sent a text message to congratulate him.

When I opened the text message, the content on it was very different from what Zhang Chen expected, and it said that Zhang Chen would go to Lena and Sean at five o'clock in the evening, and they had something to tell Zhang Chen.

"It's impossible for everyone in the world to know your life~~" Zhang Chen said with some self-deprecation, and then, he put down his mobile phone, recooked his own food, and waited until the food was fragrant, and feasted on his own.

After eating, Zhang Chen didn't have any plans for his itinerary, so he had to wander around outside and found that he really had nothing to do. In the end, he could only slap his head as if complaining, and then had to rush to the stadium as if he was resigned to his fate.

However, while on the road, the mobile phone in his pocket rang again, this time it was a call.

"Hey, hello, I'm Zhang Chen......"

"Hello, I'm Corey from Nike, do you have time now?" We'd like to invite you to the Phoenix branch for a while, we have something to discuss. ”

"Okay...... I'll be there in twenty minutes. ”

Zhang Chen hung up the phone and immediately stepped on the accelerator and ran towards the Nike branch in Phoenix, entered the hall, and explained that he was the Corey who let him in to find him, and the doorman quickly let him in.

found the old man named Corey, who came to Zhang Chen to bring money to Zhang Chen, which was a bonus for Zhang Chen's unusually good performance in the All-Star Game, with a bonus of 30,000 US dollars, which is also a good number.

Zhang Chen didn't expect that there would be such a benefit, and he was a little excited at the moment, after all, money is not pressing.

Then, Corey quickly talked about other things, they wanted to renew his contract with Zhang Chen, and wanted to sign Zhang Chen with a three-year sum of $7 million. Zhang Chen hurriedly thanked Bumin, and deduced that he wanted his agent to talk about this matter, in fact, he had no interest in talking about it at all, because he knew that it would not be long, as long as it was a year later, he would definitely not be a thing in the pool.

Corey politely sent Zhang Chen out of the hall, Zhang Chen politely declined his request to invite himself to dinner, and came to the door, Corey said again: "Chen...... I think you can consider my suggestion...... You know that a player's career may not always be smooth sailing...... A contract is another guarantee of life for a player...... In fact, the contract price is already very good......"

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your suggestion...... But you know I didn't want to sign this contract so early, and besides, this kind of thing should be discussed by my agent, right? ”

"Okay...... It's a pity, we could have cooperated. ”

Zhang Chen smiled wryly: "We may have a chance to cooperate next year." ”

"Huh?"

"Let's talk about it next year!" Zhang Chen said goodbye to him after saying this, and then came to the stadium to participate in this day's training, and his teammates really had an indescribable feeling for this guy.

Basically, many people try to avoid training, and often take out their time to deal with their own personal affairs, or just go to the mountains and rivers, in which Xiao Si plays a big leading role. No one saw anyone like Zhang Chen, he took leave, and he still ran to the stadium for a while.

After the training was completed, Zhang Chen saw that there was a good amount of time left, so he changed his clothes and rushed to the place where he and Lena had agreed to go. The wind was speeding along the way, and the car stopped outside the place where it was said to be good in the roar.

Zhang Chen had never been here before, so he came to the address of the room and knocked on the door, and soon someone knocked on the door.

As soon as the door was opened, I saw that the room was blindly darkened, and then, a green flashlight shone on a terrible white face, oozing a creepy light.

"Ahh Zhang Chen was so frightened that he took a few steps back, almost falling from the upstairs at once, and then, he remembered Sean's smug smile.

Zhang Chen was stunned, but when he heard this familiar laughter, he immediately understood, and his anger exploded, but when he wanted to go in and teach Sean a lesson, his thighs were shaking and shaking.

"Hey...... Sean, what are you doing......" Lena's voice rang out, "Why did you turn off the lights all of a sudden?" ”

Sean smiled, resisting the anger from Zhang Chendi, and the two of them laughed together.

Lena could tell from her voice that it was Zhang Chen coming, so she didn't turn on the light at all, but lit the candle on the table. In a short moment, the room was already lit up with orange-red candlelight, and soon it shone warmly on the people.

Putting down Sean's right hand, he flicked it on his forehead again while he was not paying attention, and the little guy was flicked so much that Zhang Chen had already walked over. Then I saw a huge cake on it, on top of the white cloth, the cake was completely arranged, and there were twenty small candles on it.

"I wish you a happy life...... I wish you a happy life......" Sean also came over with his wheelchair, clapped his hands and sang with Lena, and for a while, the room was warm.

Zhang Chen didn't know what Lena was looking for him for, but now he completely understood that they were going to give him a life.

Zhang Chen didn't think about how they knew about their birth at all, and his heart was indeed filled with a kind of emotion. Looking at the two people who were singing a song to himself with a smile, Zhang Chen was a little intoxicated for a while.

"Tatsu ...... Make a wish......" Lena's sweet voice sounded in Zhang Chendi's ears, and Zhang Chen walked over, clasped his hands together, and made a wish in his heart reverently.

"I hope I have a bright career, and I hope that everyone around me can be happy and live happily......" Zhang Chen Xu was wronged, and his quite good lung capacity allowed him to blow out all the candles in one go.

The lights came back on, and in front of him was a cream cake poked with some candles, and two people who were smiling, and Zhang Chen's heart was warm. At this time, Sean next to him said, "Chen, tell me about it...... What did you wish? ”

Sean shook Zhang Chen's arm longingly, and Zhang Chen smiled and said, "My wish is for the Great Demon King to capture you, a hateful fellow." ”

The two of them laughed again, and Lena stopped them loudly: "We can start eating cake now...... Chen, come and cut the cake! When Zhang Chen heard this, he walked over strangely and began to cut the cake, in fact, it was impossible for three people to finish this cake.

Although this cake is not high-end, it can be seen that the value is not too low, thinking about Lena's usual savings for this welfare home, Zhang Chen felt a little guilty for a while, and at the same time, he began to prepare to inquire about Lena's life, and he must return it when the time comes.

After cutting the cake, all everyone had to do was eat a little and then smear it on each other, but unfortunately Sean lost his legs, and his movement decreased a lot, Zhang Chen and Lena had a tacit understanding not to escape from the range that Sean couldn't reach at all.

Zhang Chen's hand slashed on Lena's face, he was avenging the time he had just been painted, but when his fingers felt the refreshing smoothness of Lena's face, an electric current suddenly flowed down from the tip of his right finger, and soon invaded his limbs.

For a while, Zhang Chen was suddenly stunned for a moment, and was successfully attacked by Sean, and his face quickly became a big face.

-- "Okay...... Now it's over about the cake!! "Lena's face was smeared with a lot of cream, and now it looked even more messy and thrilling beauty. After a few people cleaned it, Lena's original beautiful face, which was speechless, reappeared, beautiful and boundless.

When Zhang Chen was washing his hands, he looked at this room for the first time, Lena's room was very tidy, and every place was cleaned spotlessly by a careful girl, but this room had a simplicity that did not match her identity at all.

Yes, this girl's room is very simple, and there is no demeanor of a member of a business empire family at all, looking at some photos of Lena and children hanging next to her living room, Zhang Chen felt a kind of respect in his heart.

This girl actually gave up the kind of pampered material life, silently did what she could for this society, and preached the kind of belief in her heart without asking for anything in return. Isn't such a Christian believer much better than those who loot for money under the cloak of religion?

Zhang Chen returned to the place where he had just eaten the cake with them, and saw that some dishes had already been placed on the table where the cake had just been placed, and the tableware, knives and forks on it were all arranged.

"What did you do......~" Zhang Chen asked Lena in disbelief.

Lena smiled, nodded, and said, "Hurry up and eat...... Otherwise, you'll taste what a terrible taste cold food is. Zhang Chen suddenly saw a dish on it, and immediately became surprised in his heart, and said, "Lena, do you still cook Chinese food?" ”

Lena smiled embarrassedly: "I won't, I just found the recipe from the Internet and made it myself, maybe it will taste weird." ”

Zhang Chen walked over and tasted it, saying that it was not strange, but his heart was already wrapped in a feeling of complete warmth. This girl is unsparing and honest with herself, and she is attentive enough to care for people in the smallest details.

What a nice girl!

Zhang Chen ate this meal with relish, although the plate of fish-flavored shredded pork was indeed made by Lena bit nondescript, but the taste of the Western food made by Lena herself was quite outstanding, Zhang Chen's index finger moved, and he and Sean quickly swept away the things in front of him.

Lena wanted to clean up the dinner plates, Zhang Chen hurriedly went up to help her, Lena did not refuse, the two of them came to the kitchen without a word, and then began to clean the dishes with the kitchen water.

"Lena, thank you and Sean for everything you did for me today...... I'm really thankful, you know I don't have a lot of friends in this city, and to be honest, I didn't expect anyone to remember my life. ”

Lena smiled and said, "It's okay...... Aren't we friends? As for your life, I wrote it down last time when you made a donation to us, and it has all the information about the donor. ”

What a very attentive girl, Zhang Chen told her some other things, and the dishes were washed quickly.

Walking out of the hall again, Sean was sitting on the sofa watching TV, there happened to be a basketball program in it, with many highlights of Zhang Chen, watching Zhang Chen put the basketball into the basket again and again, Lena suddenly had a dreamy feeling, the boy who was dancing lightly on the basketball court, the young man in fresh clothes and angry horses, was sitting next to him now, his face was quiet, and the halo on his head was fading, this is a teenager who has just reached the age of twenty, he has a very quiet surname.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Chen found that he had an indescribable attachment to Lena's simple or even humble little house. Reluctantly, he started the car and took Sean to the night sky.

When he re-entered the learning space, his speed was already about to break through the shackles of level six to level seven, and after reaching level seven, he would be greeted by a new situation, and at that time, his speed would be improved again, and it would not be too weak to come to the NBA at that time.

When he was at level six, he could already occasionally contribute a few flashes of inspiration, and it was conceivable that if his speed reached level seven, it would be a completely new situation to greet him.

Packing up his mood, Zhang Chen walked out of the study space, and his body was recovering at an alarming speed.

Every time I just come out of the study space, my body has the same feeling of fatigue in the study space, and when the virtual and real are combined, this fatigue will quickly subside with my physical condition.

Coming to the window, slowly drinking a glass of water, Zhang Chen opened the curtain and glanced at the brilliant lights outside, the cars came and went, and unconsciously remembered the situation tonight, and for a while, a smile climbed up his cheeks.

-- The next day's team tactical training will soon begin, and the atmosphere today is relatively heavy, because in the evening they will welcome a very vicious team: the Lakers. However, shortly after their training began, they got accurate information that Kobe Bryant was no longer available because of a finger injury.

This is good news for the Suns, the Lakers without Kobe Bryant are like the Tigers missing an important toe, the Suns and the Lakers have played twice this season, both times they failed, the opponent played quite well, and today the Suns are also gearing up to get back on the court.

"Guys...... Starting after the All-Star Game, the Old Birds will understand that our game is about to enter a new level, and in the coming days, we will face all the most vicious opponents who will use all their strength to try to overcome us...... We're going to have a lot more pressure and a lot of times we have to fight harder...... We need to be more serious, so every time we practice, every shot, we have to be fully in the groove to play, and we have to put our minds and minds into it! ”

D'Antoni's words were basically nonsense, but Zhang Chen and the others pricked up their ears to listen, after all, they knew that they would face a lot of challenges in the next time.

That night, the game against the Lakers was played at the Suns' home arena, the West Arena.

This is a very important game, the collision of two strong teams in the West has attracted a lot of attention, but unfortunately Kobe Bryant can't be there today, so the Lakers are mostly a little fierce this time.

However, in some small interviews before the game, the Lakers players were not the slightest worried, on the contrary, Odom confidently said: "We can beat them, even if they are the first in the West...... There is no doubt about it. ”

Bynum, who hasn't been plagued by injuries these days, has kept a low profile, but he still expressed his confidence: "The Suns are a good team and we need to respect them, but that doesn't mean we don't think we can play against them, on the contrary, we have enough reason to think that we can beat them."

"We are confident that we can beat the Suns." That's the exact words of their other superstar, Gasol.

In the past few days of the All-Star Game, many people feel that they haven't seen Zhang Chen and them for a long time, so today's attendance is still good, but when playing against the Lakers, it is not necessarily all Suns players, on the contrary, there are a large number of Lakers and Kobe fans, who wear Kobe and Lakers jerseys to watch the game, and applaud every player on the Lakers team.

In this game, Zhang Chen was able to retain his starting position because of the absence of veteran Hill, and the starting spot on the Lakers' side today is Sasha? Vujasic. Since entering the league, Kobe Bryant has rarely been out of action due to injury, and his finger is said to be undergoing surgery, so he will not be able to play today.

Vujacic has largely been on the bench and is happy to have such an opportunity. However, what quickly became the media focus was Chinese player Sun Yue, who is now sitting on the Lakers' bench.

It seems that the Lakers' absence has left them with a sparse number of guards on the bench, which called Sun Yue back from the NDBL league.

The game officially began, and players from both sides began to circle around the halfway line, staring at the rising basketball that had risen from the hands of the referee.
