The atmosphere is a little faint, chatting with Liu Xuan while eating, in fact, Liu Xuan's chat is also a kind of interview. Liu Xuan actually knew a lot of things related to Zhang Chen, but he couldn't write it without distinguishing between good and bad, he didn't want to lose such a friend as Zhang Chen.

After the interview between the two ended, Zhang Chen returned to his house.

――――

At night, the sky is full of stars.

Zhang Chen entered the learning space, and then continued to practice shooting every day, stopping and jumping again and again, consuming his physical strength, and at the same time making his body nerves gradually accept some shooting methods, and the basketballs flew into the basket one by one.

The more he practiced the pull-up jumper, the more he felt the subtlety of the technique. Every practice is a stacking of skills and experiences, and after the skills are stacked again and again, Zhang Chen's shooting skills are also constantly improving.

――――

Time flies, time flies, and no one can save the time that passes in a hurry.

It's the end of November, and Zhang Chen's performance in the first month of his rookie season is also quite qualified, and he contributed a stunner to deter rookies in the league. After November, the results of the Rookie of the Month have come out, and the West is naturally Durant, and the fledgling Durant has already shown his offensive talent on the offensive end.

He's a decent height, shoots accurately, and has a slender arm span that gives him more options both offensively and defensively. Throughout November, he averaged 20.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 steals, 2.9 turnovers while shooting 43.0 percent from the field, 28.8 percent from three-point range and 87.3 percent from the free throw line

To the Chinese, Zhang Chen was also nominated for the Western Conference Rookie of the Month award, averaging 13.1 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.2 steals and 0 turnovers per game this month.

If you just look at these data, Zhang Chen and Durant have checked a lot, but if you compare the playing time of the two people, you will find clues: Durant's average playing time per game is 34.2 minutes that other rookies are difficult to match, while Zhang Chen's average playing time is only 20 minutes.

In contrast, the efficiency of the two people comes out, and Zhang Chen's three-point shooting rate is an astonishing 57.9%, which also includes a last-two-second kill, which makes Zhang Chen's data more convincing, his two-point shooting rate is 55%, and these two shooting rates are difficult for other rookies to achieve.

Therefore, there are also some contradictions in the election of the best rookie in the earth and moon, although most people tend to vote for Durant, but there are still many people who are also optimistic about Zhang Chen, optimistic about his anti-sky data, and optimistic about Zhang Chen's efficiency. It's just that in the end, the league still awarded the best rookie to Durant, the first is naturally a problem of data, and the second is that Zhang Chen's position in the Suns is still a little vague, while the SuperSonics are building a team around Adu.

As soon as this result came out, some Chinese fans were also very angry, but after all, this is a place on the other side of the ocean, and they are also out of reach.

Among them, there are also some magazines that are helping Zhang Chen speak:

Phoenix Basketball Era: There is no doubt that there were some problems in this rookie selection, and if we compare the data of Durant and Zhang Chen, we will find that the difference in three-point shooting percentages between the two is close to 30%, and Zhang Chen's efficiency is surprising. The Suns' selection of Zhang Chen this year is definitely a great value, as he has a beautiful shooting and running ability that can help the team win when the team is in trouble. He made the game so much easier.

New York Basketball Times: I don't think this month's rookie selection should be like this, it's not fair. We all know how Zhang Chen has performed this month, he averaged 57.9% shooting and 13 points in 20 minutes per game, compared to Durant's 34.2 minutes and 28% shooting, which is nothing short of genius. So I said, it's not fair, Zhang Chen deserves that award, we should discover new players and give young people some room to grow.

……

It's not just one or two magazines that are exclamating from exhaustion, they are all cooperating with the storm of the best rookie this time, and they are all contributing to the next league situation.

Of course, there are also many newspapers that say that it is a completely fair election.

USA Basketball Times: It's a fair election, hard work is going to pay off, Kevin is a nice young man, he's humble, he's polite. Such a player is very conscientious, he works hard to improve himself, and in order to adapt himself more to this league, that spirit is something we should have. Kevin's rookie trophy is well deserved, and it can also be a motivation for him to keep trying. As for the Chinese Zhang Chen you mentioned, I just want to say that he is still a little immature, his attack is very monotonous, his score is not high, if someone says hit rate, I will answer him, the winner does not rely on hit rate, but on higher scores.

The newspaper's statement immediately negated Zhang Chen's advantage, and he also said that the team should win the score. If the shooting percentage is not high, the score is high, and more rebounds are needed, and there is no doubt that Durant's 4.4 rebounds are much more convincing than Zhang Chen's 2.2.

The controversy didn't last long before it ended, Zhang Chen is not too well-known in the United States now, and the newspaper does not want to waste space and opportunities on Zhang Chen, a rookie.

――――

Browsing the newspaper on the table, a wry smile rose at the corner of Zhang Chen's mouth.

This time the best rookie was taken by Durant, more because of his shooting opportunities, his scoring accumulation.

Thinking about this, he also knew that he had to continue to work hard, and if his shooting could go further, and even after learning new techniques, his status in the NBA would definitely improve a lot. Peja also used his own three-point shot to defend the scoring title, if his skills can improve a little more, if his shooting skills reach the peak of what he can reach, it is conceivable that it will be much easier to beat Durant.

It's all strength! Strength!

In the NBA, the most important thing is strength.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen entered the learning space, which was where he improved his strength.

Welcome the host back, this string of subtitles appeared in my mind, and then a sentence appeared: The host shooting level has reached level 8, please start the next stage of training.

Level 8!

Zhang Chen roared fiercely in his heart, his shooting skills have reached a higher level, which means that his shooting percentage will be further improved, and he will have more offensive options when playing in the future, which will be more effective.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen excitedly threw himself into the hot training.
