"The rookie exploded again to turn the tide, and the Suns led the Nuggets 3-0!"

"Furious button! Rookie legislates for the Suns! ”

"The Suns beat the Nuggets, and the Suns rookies played well."

…… This is the title of tonight's game that many reporters began to imagine in their minds, tonight's Zhang Chen became the most dazzling star, and all kinds of public opinion spearheads also aimed their own direction at Zhang Chen, this creative rookie has become the object of pursuit by major media, Zhang Chen also received interview invitations from various magazines the next day, but he did not respond, but rested in bed for a day, and did not participate in the team's training.

Although the pain in his buttocks was not too bad, under the command of the team doctor, Zhang Chen had to go back to his room to spend the day.

Last night, when Zhang Chen had just left the Pepsi Center, the phone rang, and he saw Avril's phone.

"Hey, Avril, it's you! We won! Now the Nuggets can basically be taken by us! Zhang Chen said first on the phone.

Avril's words were cold: "**! Actually, I don't really pay much attention to this thing, I am most concerned about you almost dying on the pitch...... God, are you crazy? Do you want to use your body to punch their inside? You're so whimsical! Have you ever thought that you would be paralyzed and unable to take care of yourself because of this? ”

Zhang Chen said with some resentment: "You look down on my physical fitness like this? Do you want us to let you experience it in real time? ”

Avril cut off disdainfully: "Here you go!" I'm at home in New York right now, and I've taken off my pajamas and I'm [***] lying in bed. This sentence made Zhang Chen have nothing to say in an instant, but Avril continued: "If you scrap it tonight...... I'm going to feed you...... My dear, in order not to let my money drain too quickly, you also have to ensure your health...... I don't mind being silent with you for a long time if you do that dangerous move again. ”

Zhang Chen had no choice but to smile and say, "Okay...... I know. ”

Avril snorted and continued, "There's one more thing—did you think about where to travel last time?" In fact, I'm more inclined to Hawaii...... You know there's a lot of celebrities there, and the media doesn't get very involved and gives us a certain amount of space. ”

"Well, as you wish, in fact I don't have any better idea."

"Okay, then it's decided, your team is probably about to be eliminated."

"Ugh!" …… Zhang Chen almost had the urge to burst into tears: "Why do you always have such a big prejudice against our team, or why are you so disoptimistic about us." ”

"Who knows?" …… Next, Zhang Chen and Avril discussed some things about traveling, the time on the phone jumped fast, and it was close to the early hours of the morning, Zhang Chen hung up the phone a little reluctantly, and then got into the quilt and started a new round of training in the space. Today's training content is still the control of the ball that hurts, Zhang Chen already had a certain experience of this ball when he left last night, but now the basketball has become a disobedient elf with a strong sense of self again, Zhang Chen once again began to be helpless against the ball.

Finally, after an hour, Zhang Chen finally regained the feeling of barely controlling the basketball, so he began to train the ball control routine, although it was very difficult, but under Zhang Chen's unremitting persistence, his mastery of ball control was slowly improving.

I spent 3 hours in the study space, and it was already early in the morning, and the lights were still bright and green outside the window, and in the brilliant lights, it seemed that no one could see the end of an era.

The most frustrating of the outcome of this game was naturally Iverson, and at the team's regular training on the second day, several guys had already begun to discuss where to go fishing during the holidays, but they quickly shut up - because they met Iverson's cold eyes, it seemed that Iverson did not give up, and he began to train hard on himself.

You know, Iverson didn't pay much attention to his training in the past - he thought he was quite perfect, and he didn't need to train like Kobe's paranoia, which could only torture himself and not help his skills. But Iverson came very early today, and in fact he was rooted in a deep panic in his heart, a panic that he might never get a championship ring in his life.

That year, they were infinitely close to the championship position, but they only left everyone with a lonely and desperate No. 3 back in the Finals, and it was difficult for him to make a difference in the next few seasons, and after coming to the Nuggets, he barely broke into the playoffs, but what followed was the Suns' precise strike.

It was all tiring for him, but he had to overcome it, and after 3-0, the Nuggets were completely on the edge of the cliff, and the victory that was once within reach now seemed to have turned into a luxury and a kind of irony. This made Iverson mentally unhappy, and he didn't admit that he had to give up like this, because he felt that they still had a chance.

Just because no one in history has done it doesn't mean I can't do it too, that's what Iverson is thinking about right now, and his eyes are extremely calm at this moment.

Zhang Chen also slipped out for a walk during the day, and was called to a meeting by D'Antoni shortly after returning in the evening. During their stay with the Nuggets, the Suns players didn't go out much, and they basically destroyed the Nuggets' hopes, and while they weren't afraid, they didn't want to get into some unnecessary trouble.

After a rest, the fourth game of the playoffs began. This is a hopeless battle for the Nuggets, but under the influence of this emotion, everyone has a temperament that looks at death as if they are at home, and they no longer care about success or failure on each ball, but play exactly according to their own ideas, even if it will be played wildly.

The entire first quarter of the game was played out in this situation, and the Suns' letting go was still as bad as ever, and they couldn't stop the Nuggets players who were firing all the way, and the imaginative and imaginative play of the Nuggets players temporarily put the Suns' scoring into a low ebb. Therefore, in the entire first quarter, the Nuggets finally pressed the opponent for the first time in this series, and played heartily.

The entire first quarter of the Suns' offense was only supported by Xiao Si, and Zhang Chen, who made the Nuggets hate today, did not play perfectly, and his statistics in the first quarter were three three-point shots and two two-point shots, scoring 5 points. And Nash was accidentally stealed by the Nuggets players who were completely gambling on defense today, which also gave the opponent some big gifts, so the first quarter became the performance stage of the Nuggets, although the audience had predicted the outcome of the Nuggets to be eliminated in the end, but still cheered and applauded for today's Nuggets team that played quite tough.

At the end of the entire first quarter, the score was 23-17, and the Suns trailed by six points into the second quarter.

The second quarter became a remake of the first quarter, the Nuggets' offense was still ferocious, their hands were still hot, and after a burst of hot offense, the Suns' scoring was once again suppressed by the Nuggets, and the Nuggets' bench continued the frantic offense of the main players, who hit the Suns' interior and exterior defense like a tide. With the efforts of the Nuggets, even if the Suns did their best later, they couldn't stop their offense.

The Nuggets put out their perfect energy in front of the Suns, and each player made the best use of everything, and finally led the Suns by 11 points at the end of the first half, which made the collapse of the whole team support a new space.

However, the Suns only felt a little uncomfortable in the first and second quarters of the Nuggets' new offensive methods of beating the master to death, and in the third quarter, the Suns had figured out the opponent's routine, and at the same time began to counterattack against the surname. Zhang Chen, who did not perform well in the first half, opened the counterattack with a jumper and a throw, and suddenly the Nuggets' defensive system fell apart again, and they began to lose their armor under the Suns' offense.

Therefore, the third quarter of the game ended in the painful gaze of Nuggets fans, this quarter, Zhang Chen shot inside and outside, occasionally mixed with a few passes, and was able to grab rebounds, with his efforts, he scored 12 points in a single quarter, accounting for 1/2 of the Suns' single-quarter score.

However, the fourth quarter of the game was beyond everyone's expectations, originally thought that the Suns would be in a frenzy, who knew that an Iverson suddenly appeared in the middle, Iverson is still far from admitting his defeat, he swept the first six points of the Nuggets in the fourth quarter of the game, under his cheering and shouting, the Nuggets launched an offensive frenzy again, and the Suns were stunned by this offensive frenzy.

In this way, when there were three minutes left in the game, the Suns were already behind by 9 points, and in the next three minutes, the Nuggets finally used their perseverance and unremitting efforts, as well as the tenacity of the human surname, to finally get a tough victory at home.

Amid the heroic cheers of the Nuggets fans, Iverson reluctantly waved to the crowd before returning to his locker room with a tired wound and remained silent for a long time. It was so difficult for them to win a game that he couldn't help but wonder about his beliefs: could we really do a miracle and defeat the sun 4:3 in the end?

It was a question that only Heaven could answer, and Iverson's sigh slowly faded under the starry sky.

In this game, Zhang Chen scored 30 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds, his statistics are still quite good, the game has reached this level, and the Suns' occasional loss is harmless, and this is also a little face left for the Nuggets.

After the fourth playoff game between the two sides, players from both sides flew back to Phoenix for Game 5. The Suns have only lost one game so far, and they don't have much pressure, and Phoenix fans are cheering for the Suns as always. However, the Nuggets are different, they are now completely on thin ice, every game is a catastrophe for them, and they no longer have the right to lose.

That night, Phoenix's home arena was still brightly lit, with cheering fans wearing their Suns home T-shirts in their own way.

――――"Whew! Zhang Chen's jump shot hit steadily, played a little spin on the hoop, and finally fell into the direction of fate helplessly, the Suns attacked again, the current score of the two sides is 95:91, and there is still 1 minute and 12 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Suns lead by four points.

The game began in the anticipation of the fans, and the Nuggets still played quite tenacious, especially Iverson, who was always able to get a two-point or an assist every time he took a tiger's step.

The Suns, despite being their home court, have struggled to play offense - the Nuggets' defense against the Suns can only be described as watertight, and today the Nuggets went crazy again, and they used their strong defense to dominate the game.

The Nuggets were leading until three minutes ago, even though the Suns knew that the Nuggets were completely at the end of the game, and even if they won the next game, they would never be able to win the next game. But they also want to settle their opponents at home, so as not to get a lot of trouble, and at the same time, if they can't win the game, one is to go away, which is troublesome and boring, and it will also waste the starting coins that readers have subscribed to.

Therefore, the Suns did not allow the Nuggets to still be able to steal the victory from their own hands, and the counterattack began just three minutes ago, and the spearhead of their counterattack was still Zhang Chen, who hit a pull-up jump shot to recover two points for the Suns, and then the Nuggets missed the jumper, and the rebound was grabbed by the Suns to launch a fast break and finally Bell dunked successfully.

Then after Zhang Chen's jumper just now, the Suns finally led the Nuggets by four points.

The Nuggets' faces are still that chillingly gloomy and desperate way to survive, they are a complete outlaw bunch at the moment, using all their strength every time they attack, and using the best they can on every defense.

This time, they chose Anthony for the offense, and Anthony saw an opportunity to slam into the basket for the final dunk shot, and then he roared in anger and the audience erupted in a loud boo. Truth be told, the current boos from the audience are also from their panic, they are afraid that the Nuggets will win again, and then the Suns' situation will become more troublesome.

"You have to get in!" Watching Nash start to control the ball past half court with the remaining 57 seconds of the clock, the audience all held their breath and began to pray in their hearts that God would hit the ball for the Suns.

However, the Nuggets' defense is still torn apart, and their offense to every Suns is almost a must-have, and it seems that Nash can't find any path that allows the Suns to attack. The audience was anxious but couldn't do anything about it, and the Nuggets showed their unparalleled cohesion and defensive ability at times like these, and the Suns' offense often ended up in vain.

Seeing the time pass minute by minute, the hearts of the audience are like cats, and the eyes of Nash are also full of urging, and at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the inside, and he was followed by the Nuggets players!

It turned out to be Zhang Chen, and the audience clearly saw Nash's pass appear in Zhang Chen's hands, and then, Zhang Chen ignored the defenders who caught up, and jumped high directly, and the range of his jump was completely outside the three-point line!

"You have to get in!" Looking at the basket that was close at hand, Zhang Chen issued a silent urge in his heart, and the basketball rushed into the basket with everyone's hope!

The audience is boiling!

With 38 seconds left in the game, the Suns led by 5 points!

There is not much time left for the Nuggets, but they have just been hit by Zhang Chen's three-pointer, which makes the Nuggets' situation even more difficult.

This time, the Nuggets' counterattack was quite successful, and after the cooperation of a crowd, they finally ended the offense with a slam dunk, but the time was only left in the last 25 seconds, which was becoming more and more unfavorable to the Nuggets.

As soon as Nash received the ball, the Nuggets immediately came up to foul, but they miscalculated Nash's consideration, and the moment they came up to prepare for the foul, Nash's basketball had already been passed!

Zhang Chen received the basketball near the halfcourt, and immediately used his speed, swept across the half court in a short time, and then, facing Anthony who blocked his breakthrough route within the three-point line, jumped high!

His body became brilliant under the light, and his shooting posture became the most perfect moment, at this moment he seemed to have become a gambler, and he would not hesitate to block everything for the sake of victory!

Everyone is staring nervously at that basketball, and now that there are only 17 seconds left in the clock, whether Zhang Chen's shot can hit or not is largely a matter of life and death in this game, and also about the life and death of the Nuggets this season, deciding whether their regular season and playoff efforts will all go down the drain.

However, Zhang Chen in the sky didn't seem to have these considerations at all, his expression was still the kind of indifferent and unfazed flatness, and even the corners of his mouth - as if he was smiling?

The basketball finally left Zhang Chen's hands and crossed a trajectory in the sky, and after touching everyone's hearts, it finally stopped flying playfully and drilled into the hole in the middle of the basket!

The audience is boiling! The team flag fluttering in the wind over the West Jersey Stadium!
