163 Rookie Festival!

"Hey, this ball is awesome!" Noah ran over and high-fived Zhang Chen, and after Zhang Chen and Noah high-fived, there was still some drumming in his heart: When will he be able to pass the ball so accurately? Or is it just a tacit understanding?

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but glance at Noah, who was smirking and running across the halfway.

"Papa~~" Paul clapped his hands, and then said: "Today's training is over, everyone is doing well!" Gather here tomorrow morning at nine o'clock for our final training. That's all for today! ”

As soon as Paul's words were opened, everyone dispersed, and the speed of disbanding on the spot was very fast, Zhang Chen didn't have much to do, and he was going to practice a group of physical fitness here.

However, Zhang Chendi's wish was not fulfilled, because soon a staff member came to clear the site, after all, this is a university, and Zhang Chen and their leased site also have a time limit. When I walked out of the arena, I saw Noah looking around.

"Why?"

"I just saw a pretty girl...... She smiled at me. ”

"It turns out that this is the reason~~" Zhang Chen was speechless, and then Noah pointed to the beautiful girl he said and gave Zhang Chen a look, Zhang Chen glanced over and saw a blonde girl, he himself was not very interested, so he said bored and walked forward, but the beauty saw him and took the initiative to stand up and say: "Hey, handsome guy...... Leave a phone call......"

"Uh...... Let's talk about it......" Zhang Chen fled, and then Noah's eyes were full of resentment when he looked at him.

During the day the next day, the rookie team practiced again, and the game worked very well, but it was a little discordant that Zhang Chen and Durant were playing against each other in two different teams, although they didn't remember everyone's technical statistics, but everyone could see that Zhang Chendi scored a lot higher than Durant.

At night, the lights are shining, and there are not many people in New Orleans, but there are many people and celebrities in the arena, and the stadium is full of talents, and all kinds of people come and go.

During the warm-up, Zhang Chen's coach Paul pulled Zhang Chen aside, and said as he walked: "There is a compatriot of yours who wants to see you!" ”

Zhang Chen was very puzzled and followed Paul out of a long distance, and finally saw Li Lian, Zhang Chen's heart was in a trance, and he suddenly saw the star he used to like very much, and he didn't know what to say.

"Hello...... ZHANG Chen...... Paul and I were just talking about you here...... So I'd love to get acquainted...... I'm not abrupt, am I? Lee's voice has a very thick feeling, it sounds very deep, and at the same time it has a feeling of touching people's hearts.

"Of course it's not abrupt! I'm still a fan of yours! Zhang Chen stretched out his hand and shook Li Lianlian, and then took a photo with him before Zhang Chen went back to training.

The Rookie Challenge attracted a lot of attention, and today the audience was full of cheers, and the audience was full of people from all walks of life.

This long-awaited rookie challenge has attracted the attention of people all over the world.

Paul has already begun to explain the tactics: "Dude...... The main thing we have to play is a run-out and shoot game, we need to run out of the space, and then the point guard needs to pass the ball in time. Especially Kevin and Tatsune...... The two of you are one of the more important parts of the plan, and you need to attack a lot of the team's balls. Paul paused, then pointed on the tactical board: "Chen, your main attack range is the bottom corner of both sides of the three-point line, and the right wing is three points at a 45-degree angle!" You need to run out of your seat here often...... Remember, to win, your shots are essential! ”

Those benches looked at Paul's attention to Zhang Chen, and they felt a little unspeakable in their hearts for a while, but several of them had also played against the Suns, and they didn't dare to say anything when they knew that Zhang Chen was shooting well.

Only Conley is now a little dissatisfied, as the point guard of the rookie team, now Paul wants him to give some of the ball to Durant, and then he must pass the ball to Zhang Chen all the time...... The last time he played against the Suns, it happened that Zhang Chen's shooting was not good that day, and he felt that Zhang Chen was nothing more than that.

It's nothing to assign the ball to Durant, after all, Durant is the top pick in the draft, but think about Zhang Chen...... That's just a non-draft player!

Thinking of this, Conley suddenly looked a little bored, and for a moment he didn't say a word, just looked at the basketball that was being adjusted by the referee, thoughtfully.

On the sophomore team, James is also talking about tactics and other things, in fact, most of what these players say is just under the influence of the head coach, and it is absolutely impossible to be clever.

"Guys...... What we're going to do is prevent the other side from scoring while also making ourselves score like crazy...... On that note, Rajan, we need your passing, you need to keep your eyes on the six ways at all times and take everyone's actions in your eyes. You can also give the ball to Brandon, and Brandon can create your own scoring opportunities, shoot directly yourself or find an opportunity to pass the basketball to someone else...... Because they can't stop you at all...... Believe me, that Chinese is a bunch of local chickens and dogs in front of you, and you can rub and abuse him at will! ”

Roy nodded, glanced over there, and just happened to see the tall and thin Zhang Chen gathering around Paul with everyone, listening to Paul explain tactics. Roy turned his shot back and heard James say, "Pretty clear?" Brandon! ”

"Huh?! ~”

"Listen to me, desertion is not a good behavior, and I think you should put all your attention on it...... Actually, that guy's shot is a bit tricky, but there's no way he's going to do anything in front of you...... That's a soft egg, as long as you press him, his shot will naturally be useless! Trust me, he's just a softass! By the end of the sentence, James's face was already a little hideous, and he couldn't tell whether he was educating Roy or telling himself.

Roy nodded, and then prepared to play with everyone.

It's game on!

This much-anticipated game finally kicked off after a game!

Before going on the field, Zhang Chen saw Avril who was sitting not far from the bench, and Avril saw that he still blinked, but fortunately no reporters saw this small action, because there were too many people who came to watch the game today, and the reporters were too busy.

The starters of the first-year team are Zhang Chen, Durant, Conley, Noah, and Horford. The second-year team started Roy, Gay, Rondo, Bagyani, Aldridge.

Jump Ball Begins!

The basketball was lightly slapped and came to Rondo's hands, Rondo faced the defense of the first-year team Conley, easily passed the opponent, and then came directly to the basket to dunk, and suddenly, the audience cheered thunderously!

This is a game with a strong performance, and everyone will not really defend with their hearts, otherwise how did the high score of more than 140 come from? Rondo just got past Conley without fully doing his best in an acceleration, and then came to the basket and dunked.

"Nice dunk!" Yao Ming, who temporarily acted as a commentator for CCTV, was talking in the studio, and then said: "Rondo is a very explosive player, he can also control the game, and he is a relatively good point guard." This dunk is a perfect example of his explosive power and balance of charges! However, we can also see that Conley is not trying his best to defend, and it is still a show game after all. ”

The first ball of the first-year team was successfully dunked by the opponent, and those dunks were eager to try one by one.

The offense and defense switched, and the first-year team ran through the half of the court frantically, and Zhang Chen was a little uncomfortable for a while.

The Suns are a team that is quite fast both offensively and defensively, and Zhang Chen often has to experience the feeling of running from half court to half court. To be honest, ordinary people who have not been trained will be immediately deflated if they run like this a few times, but in today's rookie race, everyone ran quite quickly.

Everyone has the intention of showing off, but they all come back to fight for the ball bravely and actively.

Conley also quickly got past Rondo with a simple change of direction, quickly ran back to the half, and then looked at the crowd in the half, and quickly began a breakaway into the inside.

"Ball!" Zhang Chen slapped his face quickly, and just now he and Roy were slightly entangled for a moment before leaving the opponent's sight, just standing in the bottom corner of the three-point line where Paul asked him.

Conley was indeed a breakthrough shot, he had already split the basketball, but he ignored Zhang Chen's good position and passed the basketball to Durant near the free throw line.

"Bang!" Durant fired a jumper, and then the basketball slammed into the basket, and the basketball was picked up by Roy, who had just staggered Zhang Chen, and re-passed the basketball to Rondo's hands.

Zhang Chen was a little annoyed in his heart, but he still followed the large army back to defense.

This speed is too cheating!

Zhang Chen followed everyone, and it took a few seconds to quickly run to the halfcourt, and then Guy had already fired a jumper outside the three-point line, the shot failed, and the rebound was caught by Noah and thrown to Conley, and in an instant, another round of running began!

This was originally a team that everyone temporarily put together together, and there were not many tactical surnames and tacit understandings to speak of, and everyone basically quickly became independent.

However, after all, they are all NBA players, although they all have some sense of fighting separately, but the overall run is much more down-to-earth than some amateur wild ball players, everyone runs through half the court, and they can almost find the position they are most familiar with.

Conley didn't stop this time, after a quick down, he quickly came to the inside, and after a basket, the basketball flew into the net.

It was only about half a minute after that.

Although Zhang Chen's physical strength has recently increased greatly under the training and his talent adaptation training, he is also a little unbearable to run around at a high speed on this kind of basketball court. An ordinary person, when playing a big game, quickly becomes a few people on both sides running over the basketball court, and then, after running a few times like this, there is no strength at all.

Zhang Chen didn't have any strength, he was just a little uncomfortable.

A new round of attack began, Rondo had already received the pass, and then the speed did not stop, and instantly swept towards the half. Originally, everyone's defense in this kind of game was a little waterproof, and Conley, who released the water, was instantly cleaned up by Rondo with a change of direction.

However, Rondo quickly followed up with a Durant in front of him, and his rhythm had been disrupted for a while, and in order to prevent the rhythm of the whole team from being interrupted, Rondo immediately passed the basketball to Roy, who was moving at high speed.

Zhang Chen had also arrived now, and quickly opened his hands to block in front of the menacing Roy.

Zhang Chen defends Roy ...... Basically just cannon fodder.

However, Roy also felt a kind of seriousness coming from Zhang Chen, this was the first time that the two of them had completely fought each other. Roy grabbed the basketball with his right hand and made two probe steps forward with his right foot.

Zhang Chen was deceived by the way, and Roy seized this little time, quickly inserted the inside line, and hit a slam dunk to add two points to the second-grade team.

In this kind of game, everyone is emphasizing offense, and Paul is also dancing on the sidelines for everyone to hurry up and attack.

Conley was in possession again, and Rondo didn't make much effort to defend him, and he quickly got to the top of the three-point line with a tight change of direction, and now everyone was in front of him.

"Hey! Pass! "Quickly shook off Roy and quickly found his place on the right wing of the three-point line.

Conley still turned a deaf ear, at this moment, not only Zhang Chen himself, but even some people on the sidelines also felt some unusual atmosphere, especially Avril, seeing that Conley still did not pass the ball, he immediately shouted loudly with a horn in his hand: "Hey...... That point guard, pass the basketball to the number six! He can help you score goals! ”

The current All-Star Game Rookie Challenge is still everyone wearing their own team's clothes, but Zhang Chen's number is relatively unpopular in the NBA, so everyone knows who she is talking about, and a few people next to her immediately recognize Avril.

Suddenly, someone began to mumble to themselves: Is the scandal between these two people true? So what's going on with that little sweetheart of Zhang Chen and Nina?

Avril also knew that she was speechless, looked at the concerned eyes of the people on both sides, stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, and sat back in her seat.

The basketball was in Conley's hands, but he didn't pass it to Zhang Chen, who was in the best position, and Roy heard Zhang Chen's call, and had already caught up and came to Zhang Chen to block the pass to him.

"**......" Zhang Chen muttered quietly, and Roy also heard his muttering and looked at him with some sympathy, but he was still very tightly defended.

Conley had already passed the basketball to Horford, who was fast following behind, and Horford yelled at the dunk, but the ball converted perfectly into an assist.

Conley glanced faintly at the audience, as if trying to tell them that there was nothing wrong with his ball.

Everyone quickly indulged in this wonderful slam dunk, and soon left Conley's pass not to Zhang Chen behind, after all, this is not Phoenix.

Zhang Chen could only sulk, but time could not allow him to be angry, because Rondoya had already dribbled and ran away, and it was soon half over, and the worst thing was that Zhang Chen suddenly couldn't find any trace of Roy.

"I said~~" Zhang Chen scolded in his heart, and then immediately followed in the direction where Roy ran away, but it was too late, Rondo and Roy had been eyebrow-raising for half a while, and they had already planned for a long time, and now they would immediately kill him.

"Huh!" The basketball left Roy's hands, crossed an arc, and slammed into the net like a blooming flower.

There was no time to rest, too late to curse, Roy and Zhang Chen ran towards the half court again, because the next attack had already begun.

The offense was so dazzling that it could have gone back and forth in a matter of seconds, and the crowd was already feasting their eyes on the players on both sides.

However, Zhang Chen is a little depressed in his heart now, this Conley still doesn't pass the ball to himself.

Did you have a mocking face? Let this innocent person not pass the ball to himself? Zhang Chen was a little depressed in his heart, but he didn't know what Conley was thinking.

Conley didn't want to pass the ball to a player who was appreciated by their manager, and he felt that Zhang Chen was not technically in the same camp as them.

Therefore, he passed the ball to Durant again, but unfortunately Durant was still playing iron, and the dull sound of hitting iron was compared with the scene where Zhang Chen was standing in the empty position clapping his hands for the ball.

"What is this guy doing? ~"Paul was a little annoyed in his heart.

Fortunately, the basketball was grabbed by Noah, who became a first-year rebounding monster, and he is the best at rebounding among all now.

Seeing Noah grab the rebound, the sophomore guys quickly surrounded him, surrounded him, and through the gap Noah just found Durant's figure, so he passed the basketball to Durant.

Durant hit a hook shot and finally got out of the way.

"Hey! You have to pass the ball to Tatsuna...... Didn't you see that Gangchen was already standing in a good seat? As Conley ran backwards back into the halfcourt, he happened to pass by Paul, who started asking him.

Conley spread his hands: "Okay...... I'll pass him the ball...... But you have to pray that he will throw in. ”

Paul waved his hand: "He'll shoot, as long as you pass the ball." ”

Basketball is once again in the hands of the second-year team, and they are very hot to play, and the grasp of every ball is not something that the first-graders can catch up with. Roy assists inside Bagyani to score on a layup.

"It seems that Zhang Chen has encountered a little problem...... Their point guards didn't seem to like him a bit...... Players like Zhang Chen are running players, and if the point guard doesn't pass the ball, their offense will come to a standstill...... Hopefully, Conley will focus on the big picture. Obviously, Yao Ming was also a little annoyed.

Switching between attack and defense, Zhang Chen's chest fluctuated a little after so many times of galloping, but he still barely shook off Roy's defense. Even if the point guard doesn't give him passes, he has to do his job as a shooting guard.

However, what he didn't expect was that this time Conley had already passed the ball to him, and the basketball slid through an arc and rushed towards Zhang Chendi's arms.

The arc of the ball was a little weird, Zhang Chen was not able to receive the pass comfortably, he had to bend down to pick up the ball, and he didn't expect Conley to pass the ball to him at all now, and when he picked up the basketball and started to get ready to shoot, Roy had already rushed over.

The arrow had to be fired, and Zhang Chen had to jump up and shoot.

"Bang!" The basketball hit the basket, bounced high, and was grabbed by the opponent's Bagyani, and suddenly, a new round of running began.

Zhang Chen was in a hurry when he received the ball just now, and he was a little out of breath after running back and forth like this, and his shooting action was interfered with by Roy.

Zhang Chen was a little frustrated, but for a shooter, the most important thing is to always believe that he can score, so Zhang Chen did not dwell on this ball too much, after all, there are too many accidental factors in this ball.

It's just that Avril was a little disappointed with the ball, she saw Zhang Chen receive the pass, jumped up and shot the moment she was ready to jump up and cheer, and slapped Conley hard, who knew that the ball flew out of the basket under many factors.

Avril sat down disappointed again, but she wasn't too disappointed, because she had seen Zhang Chen's Jedi counterattack to annihilate the Spurs, and saw Zhang Chen, who was in the crowd and had won a decisive victory. For Zhang Chen's shooting, she is full of a somewhat blind admiration.

She said to the person next to her, "Trust me, it's just an accident......"

The person next to him nodded in agreement.

Yao Ming was also about to let out the first roar for Zhang Chen in the studio, who knew that when Zhang Chen was supposed to beat the opponent, the shot did not fly into the basket. Thinking of this, he also had some regrets, but he must try his best to maintain Zhang Chen's image in the studio: "This ball is a little regrettable, but Zhang Chen has just entered the state, and he is the first to receive the ball. Besides, Zhang Chen is not the only one who didn't score in the shot here. ”

Including Yi Jianlian on the sidelines, and Li Lianlian, who had just had a relationship with Zhang Chen, are a little disappointed now, but there is still a long game.

Although most of these people were disappointed and hopeful for Zhang Chen, Conley was satisfied with the result. Because this ball has established a theoretical foundation for his non-pass to Zhang Chen.

So, he was a little happy that his family didn't score.

As he passed by Paul, he said, "Hey, do you see?" It was he who couldn't shoot. ”

Paul is sharp-eyed, the ball just now can still be seen more clearly in the eyes of this top point guard, and he clearly sees that this guy deliberately made Zhang Chen easy not to receive the pass.

So, with some anger, Paul said, "Hey...... No one can hit every shot, you remember to distribute the pass according to the maximization of the benefit. ”

The sophomore team finally missed a ball, and Noah grabbed the rebound and passed the basketball to Conley, and as a rookie, Noah's rebounding ability is also relatively top-notch.

Conley already had a theoretical basis, and the passing was more unscrupulous, all the way to the inside, and then distributed the ball to Durant on the outside again, and he directly ignored Zhang Chen, who cut off in the air.

The basketball flew into Durant's hands, Durant shot in the middle, fortunately the ball had been scored, but some experts who were analyzing the game shook their heads secretly: Zhang Chen, who was obviously cut by the ball, was able to complete the offense perfectly~~ But the situation on the court changed too quickly, and now both teams are attacking quickly like crazy, and less than ten seconds have passed, and the sophomore team has completed another three-point attack, and the finisher Roy is still holding the gesture when he scored, and retreated back to the halfcourt.

For a while, people were a little secretly slandered: it turned out that Zhang Chen really had no choice in front of Roy, and the other party directly exploded Zhang Chen with a breakthrough and three points.

A few people who thought that Zhang Chen could at least explode with Roy were a little resentful: Zhang Chen obviously couldn't receive the pass at all.

At this moment, some people in the first-year team have also seen some clues: Conley really doesn't seem to have passed a good ball to Zhang Chen, although Noah hasn't met Zhang Chen a few times, but he is a little familiar with Zhang Chen, and when he sees this scene, he also feels that he should help Zhang Chen.

"Hey! Pass the ball to Tatsuna! Paul had already instructed Conley No. 2 who was dribbling past him.

Conley promised while preparing to find Horford's position, and by this time Zhang Chen had found an open spot on the right foot of the three-point line.

Seeing this scene, Paul had to shake his head helplessly, their team has a serious shortage of point guards, and it is impossible for him to replace Conley, it is estimated that the guy has nothing to fear when he sees this.

This time, Conley passed the basketball to Horford, but the latter was a little uncompromising, using a step-back jumper that was more difficult for his stature, and the basketball flew out of the basket as he wished.

At the moment when she saw Roy once again helplessly being thrown away by Zhang Chen's run, and Zhang Chen had already stood in a relatively empty place outside the three-point line, Avril's heart also lifted: This time, that hateful guy from the Grizzlies should pass the ball over, right?

Yao Ming also secretly clenched his fists in the studio, this time, Conley entered the depth, and should be able to pass the ball to Zhang Chen smoothly. Once again, however, the truth was a big disappointment.

When the basketball flew out of the hoop, several pairs of eyes were already fixed on the basket, and the basketball playfully bounced to a high height and began to fall.

Suddenly, several people below jumped up and began to fight for control of the sphere.

The basketball slowly fell, and Noah took the lead first, yelling and holding the basketball in his arms.

Even though Noah is an inside player, he saw Zhang Chen's empty space outside the three-point line just now, and he felt that he had to pass the ball to Zhang Chen, but Conley was still very stubborn and did not pass the ball.

Suddenly, Noah was also a little unhappy in his heart, among these rookies, to be honest, the one he knew the most was almost Zhang Chen.

So, now he's grabbed the rebound, and he's throwing the basketball out while he's still in the air.

I don't know why, and I don't know why I threw it in that direction, anyway, Noah felt that Zhang Chen must be there. It's a wonderful feeling, Noah didn't have any melancholy at all to get the basketball to Zhang Chendi's hands.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but sigh when he saw Conley not passing the ball to him, but just a moment later, Horford performed his undeveloped step-back jumper secret, and the basketball was snatched by Noah.

In an instant, Zhang Chen saw the basketball flying towards him.

Without time to hesitate, Zhang Chen had already started to shoot jumpers.

Roy also noticed that Zhang Chen couldn't receive the pass, so the vigilance in his heart had dropped a lot, and the moment Zhang Chen suddenly received the pass, he hurriedly caught up, but it was too late, Zhang Chen's basketball slid through an arc and flew out into the distance.

"Huh!"

The basketball slammed into the net, startling a circle of flying net flowers.

"Oh~~Oh~" A few Zhang Chen fans were raising their eyebrows and yelling, Avril also seemed to have picked up a hundred yuan, standing up happily and cheering, at this moment, she looked at the people around her and finally felt that she had not broken her promise, Zhang Chen was as good as the touch she described.

When I get up and shoot! None of you can stop you!

Zhang Chen glanced at Conley heavily, then ran over and jumped up and hit Noah hard in the air, and then Zhang Chen grinned and fell to the ground, his body was really a little painful, even if he wanted to celebrate, he had to weigh it.

Paul saw Zhang Chen's shot easily, without any delay, and a set of shooting actions were done in one go like a cloud of peers, and he immediately secretly cheered in his heart. Therefore, he is more and more confident in his plan to put Zhang Chen in the position of shooter, Zhang Chen is a guy who can create miracles!

"Good shot!" Yao Ming clenched his fists heavily in the studio: "There is no doubt that this is a beautiful goal!" Zhang Chendi's style is this type of goalscorer, and he can take every opportunity perfectly. Looks like he's feeling pretty good today. Yao Ming felt a little arrogant, Durant is currently shooting three of seven shots, but Zhang Chen is two shots and two shots.

However, all this is not enough, Zhang Chen needs more opportunities, and it seems that Conley does not intend to give him too many opportunities.

Conley looked at the basketball that flew into the net neatly, and his heart was already a little messy for a while, he was not a layman, he could clearly know what Zhang Chen's shooting action meant, it was an absolutely superb shooting technique!

At this time, he happened to pass by Paul again, and Paul was there again telling him, "Do you see? You should give him more shots, he can help us win from beyond the three-point line! You can pass him more. Paul's voice was hurried.

Conley didn't say anything, and went straight over, but there was a little drum in his heart: "Maybe I should really let go of some prejudice against him for the sake of victory?" Give him more chances? ”

(To be continued)
