319 Stalemate

"Derek! Please remember! You are the cornerstone of the team's rebuild, you have the responsibilities and obligations you have to bear on your shoulders, you are the heart and soul of a team, which requires you to never be hot-headed on the field, you must always keep a calm brain, you must never fall for the opponent, and you can't want to compete with the opponent because of his good performance, you must always measure your behavior by the fate of a team and the way forward, instead of blindly fighting fiercely...... I know that guy is pretty good, he has quite a lot of individual combat ability, and at the same time, as far as I know, he has a pretty good mouth...... In the face of such an opponent, you need to be more cautious...... What's more, you are not in the same position at all, and you should not be misled by his words. ”

Rose is really a little ashamed to think about his behavior just now - as a one-meter-nine point guard, he actually went up to fight the two-meter-zero-three Zhang Chen one-on-one, and spewed trash talk, which has already committed a big taboo to survive in the NBA. He shouldn't have defended Zhang Chen at that time, and he was still quite remorseful when he thought of this, so he sincerely apologized to the head coach: "Sorry, boss, I was a little flustered in the game just now, but I can guarantee that this will definitely be the last time...... I'm going to put the team's interests first in the next games, not how to beat that disgusting guy! ”

"It's good that you understand...... It's something every superstar needs to go through when they walk...... When you understand this, your path will be broader. ”

Rose nodded, and then the head coach solved Rose's problem and immediately began to lay out a new tactic.

On the other hand, after Zhang Chen got off the bench, he couldn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth, he and Du Hong slapped their hands fiercely, and Du Hong, who once let his pervert's true surname be revealed in front of Zhang Chen, is now open to Zhang Chen: "Hey, Chen...... You're such a bad guy...... Look at that champion...... I saw a cloud of black ink on his face...... Ha ha! ”

Zhang Chen also laughed without completely concealing it: "This is a good analogy...... Chris, I have to say you have the potential to be a wet man. When the two of them said this, they clapped their hands again, and then D'Antoni stopped Zhang Chen with a smile, and then said loudly: "The arrangement of the second half...... Chris, do you still have to pay attention to defending Derek? Rose, that's a dangerous rookie......"

Du Hong was a little puzzled: "Boss, haven't you seen it?" That champion is under Chen's teasing, and I think he's holding his ass to keep from being kicked by their coach! ”

D'Antoni shook his head: "Derek? Since Ross is a champion, he naturally has his own ability to become a champion...... He naturally has his own good surname...... There's no doubt about it and I think after their manager gives him a little bit of a knock he knows what he needs to do now. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chen nodded, and thought deeply: "I think it should be like that, that champion was only provoked by me for a short time, I think he may be able to cover his weaknesses soon, at that time, he was still a leader in the point guard era with good passing ability and quite sufficient destruction ability......"

D'Antoni nodded and didn't say any more nonsense, but continued: "Okay...... So our next defensive tactics are two-three defenses, mainly to pay attention to the restriction of Derek, cut off his passing routes, and pay attention to Joaquins on the inside? Noah's limitations, the Bulls still have a few amazing characters...... We need to crack down on their offense and defence, and limit their offense after Derek's recovery. ”

D'Antoni only made a general statement that it is difficult for the manager to go into detail.

When the game restarted, Rose really put away his resentful look of hating Zhang Chen, and replaced it with a solemnity in controlling the game, a faint confidence in controlling the victory. Zhang Chen turned Du Hong: "Hey, old pervert, be careful, this guy is probably going to start to be difficult......"

Du Hong was quite unhappy with Zhang Chen's nickname for the land, but there was nothing he could do, and he could now understand Randolph's pain.

During the timeout, James and Wade had a phone call, and James was complaining, "Hey, Dwyan...... I couldn't believe that Derek was so vulnerable in front of that Zhang Chen...... It can be seen that Zhang Chen's guy has gone to the next level in both offense and defense, which is not a good sign......"

Wade said: "Well, I agree with that, to be honest, that Zhang Chen made me feel a little panicked, and I found it difficult for me to see some of his movements, even if it was captured by a high-definition high-speed camera......

There was a solemnity in James's words: "Yes, therefore, when we meet him in the future, we must not underestimate him." ”

Wade snorted over there, so these two guys with common strategic goals quickly colluded and annihilated, and the two reminded each other on the phone to be careful Zhang Chen, and then hung up the phone, and on the other end of the phone, the pause ended, and the game restarted.

When the game restarted, the Knicks started the first ball, Zhang Chen controlled the ball over half the court, the ball was in hand, Zhang Chen was full of spirit, at this time he did not come forward to tease Rose, but slowly controlled the ball, until it approached the three-point line, and then, defending his Ben? Gordon immediately came up to block Zhang Chen, who had already scored 8 points in the past five minutes, which was already 7 points ahead of Rose in front of everyone. And Zhang Chen stood still in front of Gordon, and then, his right foot toe moved forward a little, and then his body suddenly pulled up after curling slightly, as if spring bamboo shoots were growing from the ground.

Gordon has been defending Zhang Chen's breakthrough just now, and he can be said to have a deep understanding of Zhang Chen's fearful breakthrough, and when Zhang Chen's body was pulled up, he was not fooled, because he still subconsciously thought that Zhang Chen was going to break through. This subconscious soon made him suffer greatly.

Indeed, after Zhang Chen went through a few feints, Gordon was completely immune to some of his feints, and Zhang Chen's original plan was to use a feint before thinking about the follow-up, but when he saw that Gordon didn't seem to have any reaction to his rise from the ground, in just a short moment, Zhang Chen had already done a fake trick, injecting more strength into his legs, and his body was also blessed by this power, leaving the earth where his heart and heart were reflected, and his body slowly climbed to the highest altitude.

Zhang Chen's body jumped into the air, slowly stretched out in the air, and the tenth-level shooting made him quickly fully adjust his body posture and shooting angle in the sky, and then, the power from jumping up was slowly transmitted to his hands, and with a gentle push, the basketball left his hands and slid into the sky.

Like a beautiful shooting star, the basketball glides through the sky in an eagle-like arc and finally reaches the direction of fate, slowly falling towards the ground under the pull of gravity.

"Huh!" The basketball went straight into the net, and Ben? Gordon only reached the highest altitude he could vacate at this time, Zhang Chen had already stood firmly on the ground, Zhang Chen was in this way? Gordon made his first three-pointer of the game on a turnover.

Zhang Chen, who scored 11 points in this game, originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a little more eye contact with Rose, but unfortunately Rose didn't pay attention to Zhang Chen's direction, and he became a little expressionless like Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen hit a three-pointer, which immediately turned the difference into 9 points, and the ball was returned to the hands of the Bulls. Whether it's pretending to be or really changing his ways, in short, Ross is now full of calmness, as if he is a confident general. Rose slowly controlled the ball across half court, broke through the ball, and then the team's tandem offense, and after a series of passes, the basketball finally scored on a layup by Denoah inside, and the Bulls recovered two points.

The entire first quarter began to continue in this situation, the Knicks' offense was very good, with the support of Zhang Chen and Randolph's two separate points, as well as the all-line scoring tactics of connecting the inside and outside, the game was slowly developing in the direction of a score alternating and the two sides stalemate.

By the end of the first quarter, the Knicks had a seven-point lead heading into the second quarter of the game, and Zhang Chen sat on the side of the basketball court and took a sip of Gatorade.

D'Antoni said: "You can see that the No. 1 has reverted to his responsibilities as a team leader, his tandem and the efforts of the rest of the Bulls, the Bulls are a very good team right now, we need to use our play together on the defensive end to contain their passing, and at the same time, Tatsu and Zach, you two need to take on most of the team's scoring tasks, and the team needs both of you to score when the team is behind or needs to pull away. ”

Zhang Chen and Randolph both began to nod, both of them naturally understood the energy they had on the offensive end, especially Zhang Chen, who averaged 38 points per game and scored a super high score like chopping melons and vegetables, so far in this game he has scored 15 points, covering more than half of the team's score, and a large part of the Knicks' lead after the end of the first quarter of the game needs to be traced back to Zhang Chen's three-point shot and breakthrough.

The second quarter of the game was played amid the boos of the audience, of course, the boos of the audience were caused by seeing that Rose did not go off the court but still personally controlled the ball through the half court, after Rose suffered a one-man battle Waterloo in the first quarter, now the ball is quite stable, and every offense has begun to truly fulfill his principles as a point guard, and the passing is like a scalpel slowly dissecting the Knicks' defensive lineup.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the first ball was in the hands of the Knicks, the backup point guard was in possession for half the court, and then Rose's defense made him want to die. It would be completely impossible to say that Rose had no anger in his heart, but he had suppressed his anger just now, and now that he was responsible for recovering the score and overtaking his opponents, he naturally sprinkled the nameless fire in his heart on the players who defended him.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Bulls finally played at the level they should have, and Rose's scoring and assists continued to rise in the help he helped the team, and soon reached a very good level, and the Bulls also regained their brilliance under his tandem.

"Attack, attack!" Rose was in possession and slowly controlled the ball through the half, while starting to point with his right finger and call on his teammates to get out of position as quickly as possible. And his teammates constantly changed their positions under his command, trying to stand in their own positions.

Then Rose decisively started to break through the ball, and then the Bulls hit a three-pointer from the outside to score a three-pointer and help the Bulls recover a three-pointer.

Throughout the second quarter, Rose had 2 points and 3 assists...... This efficiency is also quite good, after all, this year's champion still has its own merits! Director Zhang in the studio was talking to his partner about the benefits of Rose.

"Yes, Ross's ability is still undoubted, this year's champion is definitely not a parallel import, but I think as a champion, it is more important to deal with the relationship with his predecessors and his peers, to be honest, he still needs to improve in this regard." Sun Zhenping, a hardcore Zhang Chen fan, quickly exposed his dissatisfaction with Ross side by side, and Director Zhang next to him already knew that his old partner was conquered by Zhang Chen's skills, so he just smiled slightly and didn't talk about this aspect of the problem.

"See...... In this situation, you can often feel the desperate blocking of you by the inside line, and at this time, you don't have to completely choose to force the score, you can complete the breakthrough and make the basketball have more destructive and unknowable surname in your hands...... The opponent will slowly be confused by you, and at the same time, when you have the ability to pass the ball, it is not only your assist stats and teammates who benefit, but also the ...... of the whole team."

Zhang Chen nodded: "I know...... It's just that in this case, a certain amount of overall vision and passing ability are needed as support, and I have to say that I still need to improve to a certain extent in these aspects. ”

"Well, yes, but you have to believe in yourself and think about your incredible increase in strength and speed...... I believe that your overall vision and passing ability can also improve quickly, and at that time, the Knicks may be able to directly enter the first-class team! ”

"It can't be that scary, right?" Zhang Chen felt that D'Antoni was a bit exaggerated, could he bring such a strong chemical reaction?

"You can, think about it, when a person with almost no understanding of the ball, who has a good sense of the big picture and passing ability, and who has a broad vision, our team can be directly connected on the line of point guard and small forward, and expand to the whole team, and then we will really achieve that kind of offensive style that comes and goes freely! At the same time, your score also makes the enemy fearful, and at that time, the combat effectiveness of our team will directly rise by several levels! ”

Zhang Chen thought about it yearningly, it seemed that this was really the reason, and planned the prospects of the team, and he found that as long as he began to have an unrivaled passing ability, the whole team would finally be able to embark on a dignified road!

D'Antoni glanced at the scoreboard and said, "Alright! Chen, let's get ready to play, our score is about to be tied, after you get on the field, you can look for a little more passing opportunities by yourself, and pay attention to the connection between the inside and outside. ”

Zhang Chen nodded, the second quarter of the game has begun seven minutes, the Knicks' lead is constantly disappearing in Rose's assists and scoring polishing, and now there is only a one-point lead left. Seeing that the Bulls can overtake the score in one fell swoop, Rose is now confident that he wants to recover the score. Unfortunately, at this time, Knicks head coach D'Antoni immediately called a timeout, which temporarily eased their scoring advantage.

Back on the bench, Rose slammed a white towel around his neck and sat on the stool panting. Although he helped the team get a good situation in the game just now, it was also his rapid physical consumption in exchange, but at this time the Bulls could not lack his passing and scoring, so he had to seize this little time-out to recuperate as soon as possible, maintain his physical strength and prepare to face the starting five tigers of the Knicks who have been recuperating for a long time.

The Knicks' main lineup really lived up to expectations on the court, and the only person who changed was David Lee on the inside was replaced by Eddie Curry. Eddie Curry is also here to bring down the opponent as soon as possible, and their chasing points may be directly strangled in the cradle.

Eddie Curry gradually sat on the Knicks' bench lineup, and one of the more important reasons was that this guy who cheated on a big contract was passive and slack, and even D'Antoni couldn't do anything about him. Another reason is because of his poor defense, Eddie Curry cheated a big contract for himself because of his flashy offense, and his defense is a bit of a pain in the ass.

He and Randolph were the biggest interior duo in history and one of the worst interior pairings in the league defensively, and now D'Antoni has replaced Eddie Curry with one to restore David Lee's strength and prepare him for the second half, and on the other hand, to improve the team's offensive ability.

In the first ball, Zhang Chen came to cooperate with Randolph, he controlled the ball himself through the half court, chased the stars all the way into the interior under the cover of Dujon and Gallinari, and deceived the defensive attraction of several opponents under the basket, and then he swung his tail and threw the basketball high into the sky, and then Randolph glided across the sky and received Zhang Chen's pass and hit a slam dunk in the air.

This ball not only made the audience cheer for a long time, but also made the Knicks' morale suddenly raised, and Randolph also high-fived Zhang Chen fiercely, such an aerial relay The two people occasionally showed their strength in this season, although the two people were not very interested in each other, but they couldn't ignore the strange tacit understanding between the two people.
