At the start of the jump, Xiao Si roared angrily and slapped the basketball in the air, and the basketball crossed a straight line and flew directly into Nash's arms. Nash quickly floated across the half court and passed the basketball to fast-following Bell, who ended the goal with a layup.

It's still a good starter! Zhang Chen silently thought in his heart that starting the game means a stronger sense of substitution, and playing with the team from the beginning, this feeling of honor and disgrace will be more penetrating to the bones.

Most importantly, the starter, which gives people an unparalleled sense of achievement. Did you hear the neat cheers of the more than 10,000 spectators on the sidelines? Listen to the names that come out of their mouths! That's definitely going to get your blood pumping.

The man who defended Zhang Chen was John. Salmens, in the '07-08 season, was one of the hopes of a team in the more fishy team of the Kings. The burden on his shoulders was not light.

After such two months of running-in, everyone's attention to Zhang Chen has gradually increased, and many coaches in the league have also deliberately begun to study ways to deal with Zhang Chendi.

Offense and defense switched, and a group of Kings rushed across the half court with a hug and began to organize the offense.

The Suns' defense was really a bit of a pain, and the basketball was passed to Salmens, and the guy started to try to make shooting moves.

Zhang Chen didn't go up to defend, this guy is far from the three-point line, his breakthrough ability is still good, if he is shaken by such a fake throw, it will be really boring.

However, what Zhang Chen didn't expect was that this guy really went downhill with the donkey, and jumped directly at a distance of about one step outside the three-point line.

"Huh!" The Nets shook it crisply, Zhang Chen looked at him in astonishment, he didn't expect him to really dare to shoot, you must know that Sarmens' three-point shooting rate this season is still 31 percent.

However, in the face of the opponent declaring war in front of him with three points, Zhang Chen naturally had to take this challenge.

After a few encounters, the Kings began to trail the Suns offensively. One minute and thirty-five seconds into the first quarter, the score was 7-4 between the two teams, and the Suns led by three points.

The Kings had just scored the ball, and now the ball was in the hands of the Suns.

Sarmens' individual defensive ability is quite good, but after a big battle, Zhang Chen also has his own unique experience in running away from this kind of defense.

Two steps, three steps, even though he had just started to cultivate speed last night, Zhang Chen still felt that his pace was a lot faster. He jumped away from the opposing defense in three steps, came to the left wing of the three-point line, received a pass from Nash, and hit a jumper.

Similarly, Zhang Chen also gave Salmens a three-pointer.

This guy also seemed to want to compete with Zhang Chen, and when he returned to the halfcourt, he asked for the ball directly from his own point guard.

The basketball came to his hand, he handed the basketball to his right side, and then used a feint to jump up and shoot, hoping to shake off Zhang Chen's defense.

Zhang Chen is ghostly, he can still distinguish such a feint, he didn't eat this shaking. Salmens felt that Zhang Chen was bored to listen to, and he decided to make a breakthrough to solve the attack by himself.

This guy's breakthrough is more handy, Zhang Chen can only rely on his excellent footwork to maneuver with him, but Sarmento's breakthrough skills are quite solid, and he still threw off Zhang Chen and entered the interior line, and used a layup to pull back two points for the team.

The net flower was floating alone, and Salmens's expression was more pretentious, and he coolly fell back towards the half-court.

The basketball came to Zhang Chendi's hands again, but this time Salmens quickly rushed up to defend in front of him, this guy defended Zhang Chen, and his superb defensive skills made Zhang Chen feel a little difficult to move. At the same time, Salmens also started his trash talk: "Hey, I'll keep you motionless...... I'm sure you're not going to be able to shoot anymore. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chen immediately felt a little interesting, so he replied, "Really? ”

Salmens was still a little stunned by this answer, but at this moment, Zhang Chen suddenly kicked his legs to the ground, and his body had already flown up.

He was now outside the free throw line, and his body was slowly approaching the three-point line when he jumped up so suddenly.

Salmens was stunned for a moment: "No...... This looks a bit like Maddie's ethereal dry pluck. ”

After comprehending the ultimate meaning of the tenth level of shooting, Zhang Chen is still able to deal with such a shot relatively well. The body came to mid-air, in the process of lifting off he has begun to adjust the position of his body in the air, and at the same time completely deal with his own force, soon, his body rose to the highest point of the parabola, and the power of the body was also transmitted to his hand, and finally to the orange-red basketball.

"Poof!" The basketball left his hands, rolled and whizzed headlong towards the Nets.

"Tatsu - Jump Shot!!" DJ's voice even began to be a little numb, because Zhang Chen was always able to contribute some good balls.

It was time for the audience to cheer, and Salmens couldn't hold back his face, and said viciously to Zhang Chen: "Hey, it's just this one, I'll kill you next." ”

Zhang Chen shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and this guy ran past half the court.

The Kings couldn't always give the ball to Salmens for revenge, just as the Suns couldn't give every offensive opportunity to Zhang Chen.

Halfway through, Zhang Chen scored five points on two shots, and the Suns now lead their opponents by four points. Salmens, on the other hand, also scored five points, but he had already squandered an offensive opportunity.

The Suns' offense was also relatively smooth, and Salmens defended Zhang Chendi quite well, and he wrapped around Zhang Chendi tightly, so that he couldn't catch the ball. Zhang Chen also suffered some interference, and did not get a chance to shoot after the first quarter except for those 5 points.

Now it's the Suns' turn to attack, with Nash possessing the ball across half court while looking at what was going on inside the half.

Salmens has also been wrapped around Zhang Chendi, and his hands occasionally make some small movements, which makes Zhang Chen annoyed.

Salmens pinched Zhang Chen's waist again, Zhang Chen was disgusted, and said loudly: "Hey, you won't be able to stop me from scoring next, I promise." ”

You're just talking big things, and your three-point shot is just a product of luck...... Put away your hubris, rookie! When Salmens heard Zhang Chen's arrogant words, his heart was already full of anger: What does this guy think of himself?

As soon as Zhang Chen finished saying this, his body was already as slippery as a loach, his legs drew irregular and graceful steps on the ground, and in a short period of time, he was already a few meters away from Salmens.

Salmens chased after him desperately, but Zhang Chen, who had already comprehended some speed methods, was not something this guy could catch up with when he was running with full firepower.

Zhang Chen got rid of him, came directly to the bottom corner of the three-point line, and hit a jump shot to catch the ball.

His score has risen to 8 points, and today's Zhang Chen's efficiency is still terrifying. It's really funny to say, Zhang Chen, a non-draft player, actually reached the top five in the efficiency value ranking this season, which surprised many experts and scholars: Isn't this a slap in the mouth of the league draft?

The Kings quickly called a timeout, and Salmens had no choice but to quietly give Zhang Chen an angry look, and then walked off the court.

Thinking of the rookie's arrogant declaration, Salmens couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

The Suns, on the other hand, were beaming, with Zhang Chen high-fives with the bench players sitting off the court, and then sat back on the bench and drank drinks.

"Hey, John, can't you guard against that guy?" "The coach of the Kings team is a little helpless, although he has studied some ways to deal with Zhang Chendi, but who knows that this guy is so difficult, and it will not help to send a Salmens. Of course, one of the main reasons for this is that Zhang Chendi's shooting is getting more and more weird, no matter how tricky the shot is, he has a way to make her fly into the basket, which is something that makes defenders desperate.

"I'm sorry, boss...... I've just given him some chances, but I promise he won't be able to score again! Salmens said with a serious face, "I'm sure I've found a way to deal with that guy." ”

"Okay...... We look forward to your good news. The Kings coach tapped him on the shoulder, and the timeout was almost over, and the players were back on the basketball court.

"It's not going to be easy, and I bet you'll regret what you said." Salmens whispered in Zhang's ear as he began to prepare for the ball from the point guard.

Zhang Chen ignored his verbal provocation and continued to follow him.

Finally, Salmens received the pass, then pushed Zhang Chen with his shoulder and broke into the inside.

Now Zhang Chen still doesn't have much to do about such a breakthrough, the opponent's body is better than him, his strength is stronger than him, and his speed is faster than him, so Zhang Chen really can't defend.

However, the Suns' interior line is more powerful, and when this guy was trying to make a layup, Xiao Si exploded and slapped the basketball down.

Nash happened to pick up rebounds, and while he had a good nose for rebounds, he didn't actually catch too many rebounds because of his position and body.

After grabbing the rebound, Nash began to control the ball steadily through the half court, and Salmens followed Zhang Chendi step by step, he couldn't let Zhang Chen score anymore, otherwise wouldn't he really become the powerless person he said?

Although he patted his chest with the coach just now to ensure that he would be able to defend Zhang Chen, the real fact was that he was not very sure about defending Zhang Chen.

"Hey, you won't be able to run away this time." He didn't forget to stimulate Zhang Chen with words.

"Oh...... No, I told you you couldn't stop me. Zhang Chen was stunned to say this sentence lightly, but it sounded more arrogant.

“oh，**！ This shit rookie is so arrogant in saying a word. Salmens roared angrily in his heart, and then continued to interfere with Zhang Chen's catch, and tried not to give him a chance to catch the ball.

Zhang Chen is also a little anxious here, he has already put down his big words, if he can't fill this hole by himself, it will be a bad character.

So, he also used all his strength and began to try to get rid of this guy's defense.

However, his defense is still unusually tough, and the two men for the sake of face begin to fight to the death. In the battle between the two men, the Suns have handed over the basketball to the inside, and a layup hit allowed the Suns to extend the score advantage by two points.

Zhang Chen was a little embarrassed and decisively began to retreat, but Salmens quickly caught up with a triumphant smile: "Hey, man, you didn't keep your promise...... I've made it impossible for you to catch the ball. ”

Zhang Chen said: "Let's ...... next"

"Well, I would say, you still don't have a chance next." The two of them quarreled for a while, and began to participate in the attack and defense respectively.

The ball was taken down by the Suns, and then, the ball was back in the hands of the Suns, and Zhang Chen began to prepare to run, but the hateful Salmens suddenly ran up.

Zhang Chen has a headache, this guy is really a little difficult to deal with.

used two more consecutive running feints, this guy was still sticking to his side, and he was still more dead-eyed, and Zhang Chen was also a little painful: Do you really want to slap yourself with words?

At this time, at the moment when Zhang Chen was almost prevented from moving, Zhang Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration: Isn't this scene very similar to one of the realistic practice speed methods he learned in the running space?

After Zhang Chen thought of this layer, he thought of how to temporarily break this guy's defense, and then found a little gap and was almost ready to shoot.

He tentatively took a step towards his right, and then with an imaginary movement, Zhang Chen instantly passed by him.

"Steve!" Zhang Chen had already asked Nash for the ball when he just took a step, and Nash was also righteous and quickly passed the basketball back.

Zhang Chen received the pass and immediately jumped out.

He now truly understood the kind of freewheeling and omnipotent shooting, and the basketball slammed into the basket with a crisp grinding sound.

Yes! Succeed!

Zhang Chen clenched his fists, and when he turned his head slightly, he saw Salmens' blank gaze. He turned to Salmens and said very sharply, "Look, you still can't stop me......"

Salmens was left with only a dry stare.

After switching between attack and defense a few times, Zhang Chen didn't have many chances to catch the ball later, but he deliberately showed himself as uninterested in Sarmens' verbal teasing. In this way, more or less the situation has become that Zhang Chen himself has always disdained to compete with the other party in a real battle, while Salmens has been chattering.

In this way, Zhang Chen's arrogant words can almost be barely justified.

With the last two minutes of the first quarter, the Suns had a fast-break opportunity. A few seconds ago, Xiao Si grabbed the rebound and immediately threw it to Nash, who immediately dribbled and threw it directly to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen rushed towards the halfcourt, and Salmens defended quite quickly, blocking in front of Zhang Chen, and the two were now facing each other a little outside the three-point line.
