After playing the Mavericks, the Suns had a back-to-back on the road for the next few days, and finally returned to Phoenix after another road trip. In these back-to-back away games, Zhang Chen scored an average of 28.1 points per game and became the team's scoring champion in these games.

On top of his average points per game this season, Zhang Chen's average points per game has finally made great progress, and Zhang Chen's average points per game have reached an astonishing 20.5 points in a season, and he has crossed the 20-point average points per game mark. He now has surpassed Durant's 20.3 points per game among all rookies, becoming the No. 1 active rookie, and most importantly, Zhang Chen's current scoring momentum has not only not been contained, but his score is also higher and higher, and the league has recently blown a whirlwind of Zhang Chen.

With the support of his outstanding performance, Zhang Chen has quietly started the rookie selection this season, and his ranking has also begun to rise.

In the last few games, Zhang Chen's offensive means are no longer satisfied with his shooting, and breakthroughs also occupy a part of his shots, although his breakthrough skills are full of holes, and he can only bully some guards who are slower than himself, but this is enough for him to occasionally have a few flash of inspiration. It also made people's doubts about his single-scoring means that he was widely criticized for gradually subsided.

Although Zhang Chen's breakthrough technique is quite rudimentary, at most he will come to a big move that shakes left and right, but with the support of his ten-level quite powerful shooting, his breakthrough basically poses a major threat to the opponent's interior line, and he can always use techniques such as backward jumpers on the inside line to make the opponent can only sigh at him.

Zhang Chen is now neck and neck with Durant and has become the representative of the new generation of rookies in the league, and at this time, many other managers and head coaches in the league watched some of Zhang Chen's game videos and his technical statistics, and involuntarily ended with a long sigh. Why are those Suns guys so lucky? Just picked up Zhang Chen's baby? At the same time, their hearts also began to strange, according to some statistics, Zhang Chen's background is also an NCAA team, but such a player should not be unknown before!

At this time, everyone remembered that when Zhang Chen first entered the league, he was just an unknown guy, and after he started his rookie journey, many teams didn't pay much attention to this kid. At most, they were secretly gloating for D'Antoni when they thought of the Suns recruiting a Chinese non-draft player: These guys can't be brain shows, right?

However, Zhang Chen quickly broke out in the regular season, and the more than 50% three-point shooting rate plus an average of 8 three-point shots per game immediately shocked the league! This player began to come into their sights, and then basically many teams played against Zhang Chen.

Then, Zhang Chen provoked the fans in the Miami Heat and finally retreated, and in the passionate Miami, he frantically bombarded the rookie god-level score of nearly 40 points, and then, his limelight was not completely over, in the duel with the Celtics, in the sky beyond the basketball boundary, in the place where there was no root, and shot the Celtics. Then, he used 42 points to help the first-grade team complete the change, defeated the second-grade team in the rookie challenge, and in the three-point contest, he used all the god-level performances to let everyone know him again!

Therefore, combined with Zhang Chen's various performances after his debut, people have begun to pay a lot of attention to this rookie.

In the past few days, some newspapers have begun to build momentum for Zhang Chen.

New York Star: "In the past month, Zhang Chen once again won the Rookie of the Month award, which is undoubtedly the league's affirmation of him, and now Zhang Chen's average points per game has exceeded 20 points, which is not too common in rookie history." It's a player who deserves more attention. ”

Phoenix's official fan site wrote this quote from the recent jersey sales rankings: "From today, our team's Zhang Chen has made history!" His jersey sales have broken through the top three of the team, and he has become the toughest rookie since the Phoenix Suns were founded, you must know that it is not a simple thing to make the jersey count in the top three of the sales list, but now Zhang Chen has done it, besides, he still does it as a rookie player...... Let history remember this day! ”

A local gossip magazine in Phoenix broke the important news yesterday: "In the course of the recent Phoenix local para basketball game, we found the brightest rookie of the Suns recently, Zhang Chen, who was behind the back of that team, with his hands on his chest...... And among the several important leaders of that team...... There was a woman named Lena...... Her father's background is quite remarkable...... So, is there some secret between them? ”

This incident quickly caused a certain repercussion, but at this time, the official website of the Suns quickly clarified to Zhang Chen: "This is a misunderstanding...... Does the law say that as long as you go to a team as a consultant, you go for the sake of their responsible beauty? In fact, Zhang Chen went to serve as a consultant for that team just because he likes children and pays attention to the lives of disabled children. ”

However, the audience was still not relieved when they explained on the official website of the Suns, because they had already remembered Zhang Chen's previous scandals with Nina and Avril Lavigne, and all of a sudden, the rumors about Zhang Chen gradually increased.

In the end, it was still the gossip magazine that made a special issue for Zhang Chen, in which various explanations were given to each of Zhang Chen's scandalous women, and most of them still had pictures and truths, and all of a sudden, some men were indignant: All the good things in the world have been taken up by this guy! He entered the league at the age of nineteen, and after entering the league for more than two months, he became the object of many other teams' gritted teeth and envy and hatred. And what makes men unable to let go for a long time is this guy's affair: Avril, Nina, Lena, which is not a beauty who captivates the country and the city?

Avril is now so famous and sweet-looking, which makes many people already indignant, but at this time, there is another Nina who is not very famous, but the appearance is impeccable, and there is also a Lena, who has a huge background...... Oh my God, do you want people to live!

-- Zhang Chen ignored the recent rumors and various gossip about himself, whenever there were gossip reporters who were not dead, and when they came to Zhang Chen's side to involve these issues, Zhang Chen's nostrils turned to the sky: "In fact, everyone misunderstands my relationship with them...... They and I really are just pure and good friends! We are pure, as any one of them can attest! ”

Now, the rather innocent Zhang Chen is in the middle of a game against the Celtics, this game is the last time the Suns and Celtics face off in the regular season this season, and after this game, if the Suns want to meet the Celtics, they will have to wait until the Finals...... And the finals are indispensable, and it's too early to talk about that.

Today, the Celtics are ready to make a comeback and inflict a complete defeat on the Suns, who are ready to let them witness a defeat in front of the Celtics' more than 10,000 home fans.

Therefore, today's Celtics are quite powerful, their various offenses are extremely fast, and the defense is also one-eyed, and there is no disorder.

Now there are only 40 seconds left in the game, but the Suns are still 10 points behind, and the Suns can basically say that the tide is gone today. It seems that the Suns are determined to let the Suns die in the fire in this game.

Lei Allen stood in front of Zhang Chen again, and he used his long arms to closely chase Zhang Chen's path. Zhang Chen, even though he only runs without the ball now, is not very easy to get rid of Ray Allen's defense. Ray Allen thought of Zhang Chen's three-point shot in the air against the sky in the last game between the Suns and the Celtics, so he naturally didn't dare to be careless, and chased Zhang Chen tightly and didn't dare to relax his defense.

And now the Celtics are monolithic inside and outside defense, and it is difficult to find any space to score. They were determined to kill the Suns in the final forty seconds.

At this time, Nash carefully searched for the position of each opponent, and felt that it was not very reliable, and then looked at the Celtics' defense was quite tight, and there was no chance for a while.

"Well, let me come!" When Nash thought so, his feet had already begun to move, and he quickly broke through to the right of Rondo, and Rondo naturally came to defend, at this time Nash drilled inside again with a crotch change of direction, and after a few successive changes of direction, Nash had come to the inside. However, the opposing defenders immediately pressed on.

In this situation of the Suns now, the Suns can no longer tolerate conceding a ball, even one, so in order to be safe, when Nash pretended to shoot in the air, he immediately passed the basketball to Zhang Chen, who was on the other side of the three-point line.

Even though Lei Allen is already a veteran of the Battleground Alliance, he couldn't help but shiver the moment he saw Zhang Chen receive the pass: Zhang Chen had just shown various scoring methods in front of him, and he gradually understood that Zhang Chen at this time had improved a lot compared with the Zhang Chen in the Christmas War, and his shooting had also improved, and Zhang Chen's various offensive experience had also increased with his skills and opponents. Therefore, it has become more and more difficult for Lei Allen to guard against Zhang Chen today, and it has even become an occasional situation.

Therefore, now seeing Zhang Chen receiving the ball, he himself quickly began to get nervous.

Zhang Chen has already scored 22 points in this game, and if he is allowed to score again, it will not only allow the Suns to re-erect the banner of counterattack, but also allow this guy to score a few more points.

"Be sure to kill your three points!" Lei Allen began to cheer himself up in his heart, and at the same time, his feet did not stop for a moment, and he was always ready to defend Zhang Chen's three-point game, because he knew that the most useful thing for the Suns at this time was three points, and the Suns' best shot was obviously this Zhang Chen in front of him.

Therefore, Lei Allen has already raised his center of gravity and is ready to block Zhang Chen's three-point projection.

Zhang Chen glanced at the situation on the inside, and suddenly found that Nash's breakthrough had impacted the Celtics' inpenetrating defensive formation, and after Nash broke through the penalty area, several of them surrounded Nash, not daring to let him do anything else, so that he had little more strength left to defend his way.

At this time, he also happened to receive the basketball, and he relied on his seven-level speed to slap the basketball to the ground the moment he just received the pass, and then his body was already chasing after the basketball and rushed forward.

Lei Allen finally misjudged, seeing that Zhang Chen did not hesitate for a moment when he received the ball, and rushed towards the inside line without stopping, he quickly reacted and chased after Zhang Chen, however, after Zhang Chendi's seventh-level speed was started and the firepower was fully opened, Lei Allen still did not have the spare strength to pursue Zhang Chendi after all.

Zhang Chen had already calculated his breakthrough line, and quickly passed it through his brain, at this time he had come to the vicinity of the free throw line, and sure enough, the opponent's defensive vision was attracted by Nash, and he hadn't completely put it back at this time.

Zhang Chen was secretly happy in his heart, and went to the most indulgent place in the inner line.

"One step! Two steps! It's close! Zhang Chen knew that his speed should be enough to break into the deepest part of the opponent, however, at this time, a black shadow next to him rose into the sky, and when Zhang Chen began to make a layup, the black shadow also came to the top.

The basketball climbed towards the basket, but not long after leaving Zhang Chendi's right hand, it was suddenly slapped down by the black shadow in the sky!

"Smack!" The crisp sound of capping echoed in the basketball court for a long time, and Zhang Chen felt a sense of chagrin in his heart, but it was too late.

This ball, he originally thought that his seventh-level speed should be able to fight his way out of the opponent's inner line that was not completely locked, but what he didn't expect was that his seventh-level speed still didn't have enough strength in such a high-level defense.

This ball, he was quite beautiful when he got rid of Ray Allen, and almost made a successful layup, recovering two points for the Suns at the last moment, but his seven-level speed could not reach the lightning level after all, and at the moment of the final layup, he was still reacted by the opponent and quickly pursued successfully.

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly, his speed, even if he had reached the peak of the seventh level, was still not enough after all!

I still need more accumulation, and finally reach the speed of level eight, and at that time is the real sea wide with the fish jumping into the sky and letting the birds fly. With a speed of level eight, it means that Zhang Chen can truly rank among the top speeds in the alliance and charge in the direction of the top speed of the alliance.

All of this still requires a breakthrough in speed!

Zhang Chen put away his thoughts, at this time, the Celtics blocked successfully, and the rebounds were also taken off by them, and there were only 26 seconds left in the time, and the Suns had no chance. However, the Suns didn't blame Zhang Chen, although his last-minute layup was covered, but who didn't miss it? Besides, the failure of this game cannot be completely counted on Zhang Chendi's head, and the failure of this game is the final effect of the points difference they have accumulated throughout the game.

At the end of this game, the Suns players didn't have too much sadness, and it wasn't a big deal to lose a game, they still sat firmly in the first place in the West for the time being, and it was impossible for anyone to expel them in a short period of time.

After the game, the Suns returned to the hotel where they lived in Boston, and Xiao Si's restless guys quickly came in and invited Zhang Chen to go out with them for a party, but Zhang Chen politely declined.

Although no one blames him for the last cover, he still has a lot of reflection. Eventually, he found that his problem was that he was not fast enough, and with this in mind, he turned on the computer in his room, connected to the Internet, entered the Phoenix Player's intranet, and came to the video library.

He clicked on a video of Iverson's breakthrough, and the Iverson in the picture was what he looked like during the 02-03 season, when Iverson was in his prime, freshly dressed and angry, and scolded Fang Xuan.

In the crowd, the somewhat short figure, drilled left and right in the cracks of the people's ground, which was unguardable, and most importantly, his speed was like lightning, and sometimes it was the most fierce arc lightning. Before anyone could react, he had already slipped into the crowd, came to the heavily defended basket, and then threw himself into the air, the advantage of speed giving him enough time and security to throw the basketball into the basket.

This kind of speed is terrifying.

People who are not on the scene will never be able to understand how terrifying Iverson's speed is, the Suns have also played against the Nuggets this season, Iverson's physical strength has decreased a little, and the speed function has gradually degraded under the influence of various injuries on his body, and it has become less terrifying than before.

But, despite this, Zhang Chen still saw Iverson make a fast-break layup, that time he chased Iverson at close range, and the two chased and escaped near the middle line, however, the two people got up almost at the same time, but when they came to the center line, it became Zhang Chen two or three positions behind Iverson, and when he came to the three-point line, Iverson had already hit a layup.

Zhang Chen didn't train for a long time in that game, and the speed was at the level of level five, but Iverson's speed also made him feel palpitated. Another time that he remembered most was when Iverson broke through the interior of the Suns, and that kind of extremely fast speed made him fascinated and fell in love with it every time he thought about it.

That kind of speed is difficult to describe in words, and it always feels like I just saw him start shaking outside the three-point line and start shaking his body to break through, but when he looked at him again at the second glance, he didn't know how to use it to get to the inside and hit a layup!

After watching several videos of Iverson's game, Zhang Chen quickly lay down in bed, fell asleep, and entered the study space.

The content of his training has not changed since the speed level seven, however, he has just entered the learning space today, and a text quickly appeared in his mind: The host speed has broken through the eighth level! Start training in a new phase!
