081 New York counterattack
There was still one minute left in the second quarter, and Zhang Chen's eyes kept watching the performance of the players on both sides on the court, while also putting himself into the role of those people, thinking about what he would do if he was facing that situation.
The second quarter ended slowly in such a situation, and it was only one half of the time, and the Knicks were already a full twenty points behind the Suns, and they had few chances to win today.
At the end of the first half, the players walked back from the pitch, then sat down on a stool and poured some drinks into their throats. After drinking a glass of water, Nash spoke a little slurred: "Chen...... Well done...... We're so far ahead of New Yorkers, and a lot of it is due to you! ”
Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment...... But we still need to do more. ”
Nash nodded, and the group walked back to the locker room, ready for the second half.

A couple of reporters on the Knicks' side said to Marbury, a little unkindly, "Hey, Mr. Marbury...... What do you think of the opposition number six who played well in the second quarter? ”
Marbury's face was a little pale, and after rolling his eyes, he said, "I don't think we should be deceived by appearances, who knows that he didn't rely on luck in that session?" ”
Hearing this, the reporters secretly said that there was a play, and it seemed that this Marbury and Zhang Chen still didn't look at each other.
There were no tricky reporters in the Suns' locker room, and Liu Xuan was still mixed in the middle of the reporters and said a few words to Zhang Chen. Seeing that these two compatriots are very familiar, other reporters are a little envious.
Zhang Chen said a few words and then returned to the chair, sat on the chair and began to close his eyes and recuperate, saying too much is bound to be lost, and he has also tasted the great gifts given to him by those reporters.
The gap between the halves was almost over, and the second half continued to begin.
Without Grant, the Suns' guard line is much tighter than before, so D'Antoni let Zhang Chen play at the beginning of the third quarter.
The person defending Zhang Chen became Fred Jones, this guy is only about 1.88 meters tall, much shorter than Zhang Chen.
Now the Suns' lineup is basically relatively strong, with Nash, a top point guard, and Zhang Chen and Xiao Si, two scoring masters. Against the Knicks, who had just lost 20 points and were demoralized, they were also much more confident. All the Suns have to do now is destroy all of the Knicks' defenses with a devastating offense and get another home win.
At the beginning of the second half, the Knicks still had hope, and twenty points were not so completely out of reach.
So, even though one team was already 20 points behind, the smell of gunpowder was still quite strong, and the smell of gunpowder was already felt by all the players at the beginning of the second half.

Zhang Chen's playing time today is destined to have a strong release.
The third quarter has been going on for a minute, and Zhang Chen himself has not received a pass, but the two teams have been playing iron for these balls, so the difference is still 20 points.
By the twenty seconds of the third quarter, Zhang Chen finally found a chance to run.
After he came to the half court with Nash on the dribble, he took a closer look and found that Jones was a little loose on his defense, and took advantage of this little opportunity to immediately cross the three-point line, bypass several interior longs, and come to the left wing of the three-point line.
Nash's ground-hitting passes were always so just right, Zhang Chen comfortably received the pass, and then jumped straight to the shot.
"Huh!"
The basketball obediently got into the basket again, and Zhang Chen's score in this game has risen to 17 points!
Thomas immediately called a timeout because they had started the second half so badly, and now that Zhang's shooting had completely awakened the Suns' morale, he had to be strategic.
"Hey, Stephen...... I think you can play a little bit more aggressively, you can try to hit their inside, we need your scoring and good assists. Thomas gave the task to Marbury.
Marbury nodded busily, this is an order, no bull!

Coming back at halftime, Marbury, who didn't have much of the desire for victory when he was young, accidentally saw Zhang Chen's 17-point score, and suddenly let his blood burn in his chest.
It's time to go for a hard shot.
Marbury, who was in the middle of nowhere, was secretly saying to himself in his heart, and then he was very tightly controlled by the Knicks.
After dribbling through the half, without saying hello to his teammates, he took advantage of the Suns' loose defense to stab the inside line in an instant, and also caused a foul on Xiao Sidi, and then added a free throw, a two-and-one.
There are 19 points left in the score.
The ball returned to the hands of the Suns, and Zhang Chen once again received a pass in the right place, but, after all, a person's character is very limited, and Zhang Chen had to offer an iron.
However, even if the ball was not shot, Zhang Chen's data today is still 8 out of 10 shots, and the efficiency is still very high.
The rebound was snatched away by the Knicks, Marbury broke through this time and passed the ball to Jones's hands, Zhang Chen suddenly didn't have time to fully defend it, allowing Jones to easily shoot a three-pointer.
The margin immediately became 16 points.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Iron is contagious, and after Zhang Chen's shot deviated from the basket, the Suns players began to scramble to play iron. First, Bell missed a mid-range shot, and then Smalls grabbed the rebound, but still didn't make a shot.
Switching offense and defense, this time Nash also followed the crowd once.
However, the offense on the Knicks' side instantly convulsed, hitting two three-pointers in a row, and the score gap quickly returned to 10 points!
The spectators, who originally wanted to watch the team slaughter their opponents, now watched the situation develop intently as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
If the opponent is allowed to close the margin to single digits, then a lot of the Suns' previous efforts will be immediately wasted.
By that time, the Suns' morale is low, but the opponent's morale is high, and there will be more variables in this game. In a short period of time, the situation has become a little afraid to comment again.
Marbury smiled inwardly as he asked the Suns to release the boiled duck this time. Zhang Chen doesn't seem to feel anymore, as long as they work hard, the Suns may have a cup today.
