279 The pillars of the team

The basket swayed, the squeaky sound was like an uninvited guest, breaking into everyone's ears, the basket shook violently, Zhang Chen's body hung high on the basket, just that ball, although the opponent's inner line had tried his best to pull Zhang Chen down from the air, but the result was that he was rushed back by Zhang Chen!

The whole stadium was silent, including Zhang Chen's fans who were watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, Zhang Chen's ball was a little incredible, when they saw Zhang Chen jumping up and colliding with the opponent's big forward, they all sweated, after all, Zhang Chen, who looked a little thin and long, collided with the big tall man of the other party, and he had to peel off his skin if he didn't die.

Then, something surprising happened, Zhang Chen was like a cannonball in the sky, and he collided with the other party without hesitation, and then, as if after a chaos of Mars hitting the earth, the opponent's big forward was actually rushed out by him!

The opponent's big forward fell to the ground, and he had to barely stand firm, and even then he took a step back, and when the time came, the audience was shocked.

Then followed by overwhelming applause, after such a slam dunk that runs through Changhong, all the praise seems to be so insignificant, Zhang Chen at this moment, like a nine-day god of war, stands at the top of the world.

Zhang Chen didn't yell, just fell off the basket by himself, and then began to retreat to the half court to participate in the defense, Johnson looked at Zhang Chen's appearance, knowing that he had encountered a hard bone today, this guy's offense has been very different from the last time he saw him, and it has improved to a level that surprised him, and at the same time, his defense has also improved a lot.

Facing such a Zhang Chen, no matter who it is, it will feel a little headache.

Zhang Chen just appeared today and showed an extraordinary appearance in front of everyone, and the cheers of the audience also rose one after another. And Zhang Chen himself is taking advantage of the time to slowly retreat to the half court to start resting, although the ball just now dunked heartily, but it also made his physical exertion more rapid, Zhang Chen must be careful about his physical strength, especially when this kind of strength increases physical strength but does not increase much.

Seeing Zhang Chen's return to the half, the No. 6 jersey flying high, Randolph snorted in his nostrils, grabbed Du Hong next to him, and said, "Chris, do you believe it?" If I wanted to be powerful, I could knock that guy into the sky instead of just letting him fall out of the air. ”

Dujon said honestly: "I don't believe it. ”

Randolph was furious: "Do you want me to prove it?" ”

Dujon said: "Maybe, or may I choose to pass the ball to you?" You know, Tatsu's ball control is pretty good, I don't have to worry about the opponent's tackles now, I can be responsible for passing. ”

Randolph was stunned for a moment - even if he received a pass from Duhon and humiliated the opponent's power forward, he only received a pass from Duhon, but Duhong was grateful to Zhang Chen. Randolph was a little disheartened for a while, why did Zhang Chen not be in this team for a long time and he had already been branded - it seems that many people have an inexplicable respect for him?

Randolph felt more and more unbalanced in his heart, envy, jealousy and hatred. But in any case, the morale of the Knicks team is really mobilized by Zhang Chen, an unprecedented super slam dunk for him, and the momentum on the basketball court is always delicate, but it is always playing its role in a down-to-earth manner, such as now.

The Hawks' offense ended up being ironed, the rebound was grabbed by Randolph, and the Knicks rushed toward half court in a crowd to start an offense.

Although D'Antoni is better at fast breaks, now that the team has not fully run-in, there is still no way to use the kind of orderly, orderly fast break that he used to have when he was in the Suns. So the ball was discreetly dribbled to the frontcourt by Dujon, and Randolph beat his chest again on the inside: "Hey, pass the ball to me, it's me who grabbed the rebound." ”

Everyone took their eyes off Randolph and pretended not to know this guy who was eager for quick success, but it was indeed Randolph's easier to score now, so Dujon passed the basketball directly into the interior and into Randolph's hands. Then Randolph used Zhang Chen's slam dunk scene to encourage himself to play a more beautiful field, and then he rotated left and right, and finally found the right position, and then rose from the ground and scored a slam dunk.

"Bang!" The basket swayed, and then the home fans also let out a grand praise of the ball, Randolph let out a long breath in his chest, and then beat his chest in the direction of his teammates and Zhang Chen, and slapped his hands on his chest fiercely, like a gorilla.

His gesture was not entirely a celebration, on the contrary, it was more of a demonstration to his teammates, so that everyone could not ignore him, he was the king of New York.

It's just that he was immediately discouraged, and felt quite regretful that his teammates didn't pay attention to him at all, but everyone had a tacit understanding to run through the half, without looking at him, and the opponents also ran back to the half court to start a new attack. Suddenly, Randolph completely lost the motivation to support him to knock out his opponent in one go, and he was a little depressed.

When Randolph returned, everyone could clearly see the decadence on his face.

In fact, the current Knicks are not disciplined, and the most likely problem in defense is to be played by the opponent to play a fast break, which D'Antoni is the most considered, after all, the fast break often happens in the moment when the opponent is caught off guard, fortunately, the Hawks' fast break quality is not too good, otherwise today's Knicks are estimated to be beaten at this point.

Zhang Chen became more and more aware of the difficulty of the team's goals, he now slowly controlled the ball over half the court, and then began to look at everyone's position, and found that everyone was basically busy with their own affairs, and did not estimate the overall situation too much, Zhang Chen had to control the ball by himself and came to the opponent's three-point line, and then bent down, Johnson on the opposite side saw Zhang Chen's movements more cautiously, and also followed Zhang Chen's movements and bent down, opening his hands to resist Zhang Chen's attack.

The defensive strength of the Hawks is not ranked in the league, but their defensive arrangement is still remarkable, and the main task of the Knicks at present is to reorganize military discipline, and the defensive problem must be left for later and slowly solved. Now the arrangement of the Eagles makes it basically impossible for Zhang Chen to break through successfully, at least when he enters the inner line, he will be surrounded by a group of people, and there is no way to get out. Although he can rely on his current anti-heaven strength to forcibly break in, he can't just kill him like this and kill without caring about anything, after all, his physical strength is really limited.

Zhang Chen lowered his body to control the ball twice, the basketball slammed back and forth on the ground and in his hands, and then Zhang Chen suddenly jumped high!

Johnson has been brought to Zhang Chen's rhythm by Zhang Chen's ball control like a lullaby, and suddenly saw Zhang Chen break that rhythm and jump straight towards the higher blue sky, he didn't have time to react, anyway, when Zhang Chen's body reached the highest point, Johnson didn't have time to jump high in the direction of Zhang Chen.

As a result, Johnson was already a beat slower, and the basketball in Zhang Chen's hand roared away into the distance with a strong wind, and Johnson's raised right hand could only become a helpless sigh in the end.

"Huh!" Zhang Chen hit a three-pointer, allowing the Knicks to pull back three points again!

In the first quarter of the game, after Zhang Chen's dunk like a dunk, the rhythm of the game finally returned to the control of the Knicks, but the Knicks' offensive and defensive literacy were a bit painful, which made their lead not very stable, and their current offense still relied more on Zhang Chen's outside offense and Randolph's interior offense.

Although Randolph said that he had a bad record, whether it was life or on the basketball court, he was a headache character, but after having Zhang Chen as a stimulus, he was still able to score on the inside safely, so that the Hawks' lead was resolved by the Knicks again and again, so the Hawks were not able to increase the score.

In this case, the final score of the two sides was 26:23 at the end of the first quarter, the Knicks were three points behind, and Zhang Chen contributed 13 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 turnover throughout the first quarter, Zhang Chen's rebounding ability was better than before, he picked up two rebounds in the first quarter of the game, grabbed one hard, and finally made up 3. In the past, Zhang Chen had a chance to grab rebounds, but he was often snatched by others because of lack of strength, but now Zhang Chen has no such concerns, he can really grab rebounds, and then turn it into his own technical statistics and a chance for the team's counterattack.

At the end of the first quarter, Zhang Chen was covered in sweat, feeling that the jersey was tightly attached to his body, and after coming to the bench, Zhang Chen sat on it and didn't want to say a word, immediately closed his eyes, and let his expression return to the most tranquil state. D'Antoni didn't call him, he knew that Zhang Chen must be very tired now.

Zhang Chen is quite tired now, he feels as if his soul has been drained, although he still has a lot of potential power in his body to kill the enemy again, but this power is quite limited. Strands of sweat dripped down his hair and ran down his cheeks.

Every time the beads of sweat flow, it seems to be the flow of a point of my own strength, and I have never experienced such a headache in the game.

Your teammates often can't find you when you're out of space, so you end up attacking with the ball. Every time you see that the score is finally catching up, but the opponent is coming back and your teammates are a little out of order in defense and attack, so you have to use your tired and tired body to step up again.

In this way, it's no wonder that you don't get tired. However, Randolph gloated when he saw Zhang Chen's appearance, he came to Zhang Chen's side with a smile and said, "How is it, Mr. Backdoor...... Your stamina is really unreliable...... I think a player like me who can be radiant even after a really tough fight can really be a good player, do you think? ”

Zhang Chen opened his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have a big chest to provide me with energy, so I need more rest, your big chest can probably provide you with a power that won't run out, right?" ”

Randolph's face turned red and white, and he said with some resentment: "You have carried out a personal attack again......"

Zhang Chen ignored him, and began to close his eyes to recuperate, Randolph originally wanted to hit Zhang Chen, but who knew that he was ridiculed by Zhang Chen, so he had to come over and listen to D'Antoni talk stupidly.

"Guys...... We're on the edge of a cliff -- if you don't come up with real strength soon. Do you want to know what I think after seeing your performance? - (Here D'Antoni paused for a moment, and was about to hear what everyone had to say, and then he began to talk with satisfaction, who knew that these rabbit cubs were busy with their own things, and they didn't have time to pay attention to him.) After seeing your game, I just want to describe you with this sentence: a plate of loose sand! Yes, a plate of loose sand! No one is worse than your formation, you are like a bunch of schoolchildren on the basketball court who have just learned to play basketball! After saying this, D'Antoni took a hateful sip and continued:

"I remember I gave you a lot of learning content, I gave you offensive and defensive tactics and everyone's positioning, why do I see that you are still in a disorderly and chaotic way? I'm fed up with teams like this! Let's come up with a well-organized lineup! The Eagles will be more ferocious in offense and more attentive in defense, and if we don't play our own style soon, we will definitely lose the first game of the season! ”

D'Antoni is not alarmist, in fact, if you are honest, although the current Knicks' lineup is not on par with luxury, it is not bad - there is Randolph who can play 20+10 on the inside, a quasi-superstar on the outside, MVP of last year's Rookie Challenge, Best Rookie Zhang Chen, and the rest of those such as Wilson? Chandler, David? Lee, Chris? Dujon, Crawford, Eddie? Curry, although these people are not stars, are also players who can play in their own position and the strength that the real team needs.

It's just that now the Knicks just lack an orderly momentum, they need a more perfect offense and perfect physical strength, and they need more well-trained offense and defense. That's the biggest problem for the Knicks right now, they don't have a lot of players.

Zhang Chen rested enough on the bench, but the beads of sweat on his face were still trickling down, and the camera shifted to his face and captured the beads of sweat on his face, and everyone understood how tired he was.

The second quarter began, and the Knicks are now sending all the benches, and Eddie Curry has a big contract until 2011 anyway, and he is not in a hurry, so this guy began to slack off with a iodine face, which made Zhang Chen speechless for a while - God, who are the people on this team.

Randolph originally wanted to show his might and play, but unfortunately he found that his feet were also a little weak, and in the first quarter he fought against his opponent and teammates, which made his physical strength depleted more quickly, so he had to sit on the stool obediently.

In this way, the Knicks also have David on the bench? Lee, Crawford, Wilson, and the rookie Gallinari who went up to practice basically formed a good lineup.

It's just that this lineup still lacks training, and the Hawks' bench lineup is a little flawed, the Hawks' bench lineup began to slash the Knicks, the Knicks' bench lineup is exhausted, but there is no way to fill the bigger and bigger holes, the Knicks played quite hard in this quarter, but they didn't get any results.

It's not okay to go on like this, Zhang Chen looked at the situation on the basketball court and was anxious, seeing that the score had been stretched to double digits, the Hawks had played like a rainbow of morale, but the Knicks were getting more and more overwhelmed.

If you look at the performance of everyone on the basketball court alone, they still play very well, Wilson's breakthrough is still booming, Gallinari can occasionally shoot a three-pointer, although the rookie is a little frightened, but after adapting to it, it still plays a role in the team's system; David? Lee's performance was quite good, Zhang Chen saw him fly off the basketball court for a second rebound, and although the ball was finally awarded to the Hawks, anyone could see the guy's efforts. Crawford's defense and offense are conscientious, but there is nothing wrong.

Yes, each of them played well, but why was it that once they got together, they were beaten by their opponents? Zhang Chen found that this was also a problem with their main lineup, although they could rely on Randolph and Zhang Chen to maintain the situation, but everyone could see that they were quite tired.

What the hell is going on?

Zhang Chen sat down next to D'Antoni and said, "Boss, I found a problem. ”

D'Antoni tilted his head slightly and said, "What's the problem?" You can tell. ”

'I think every one of our players is great, we all played at our level, we were very rhythmic in attack and defending, but why are we dwarfed by the opposition's attack and can't stop it?'

D'Antoni smiled: "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Chen thought about it for a moment and said: "I think it's a matter of chemistry, each of us is very good, but our overall offense and defense are a little dwarfed, and this is our disadvantage." ”

D'Antoni nodded slightly: "You're right, in fact, the all-star team also has this kind of problem, although each of their players is top-notch, all superstars, but the cooperation of the team they put together is not completely able to meet people's expectations, but the good thing about that team is that they will definitely have a pretty good point guard to connect the overall situation, which is also a disguised chemistry...... It's a shame that we don't have a really perfect point guard. ”

Zhang Chen nodded, it was indeed like that, it seemed that his team was going through a chemical run-in, and during this time, most of them could only rely on their own support - oh, maybe that guy with oversized breasts could also help a little.
