If the Knicks and the 76ers are now close to the rivalry of life and death, this is not true at all, because this season the 76ers and the Knicks are too fierce in the rankings. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the middle of last month, Zhang Chen's performance dropped sharply due to some physical strength and so on, and by the way, the Knicks also suffered an unwarranted disaster, and there has been no good record in the last month. The 76ers took advantage of this month to make a comeback and suppress the Knicks, and now they are ahead of the Knicks in victory.

The first game of April was against the Celtics, and if the Knicks could win the final game, they would be able to overtake the 76ers and move straight into fifth place, and then look to fourth place and prepare to charge for home-court advantage.

However, the Celtics are definitely not a character to mess with, and the Knicks have already lost one game to the Celtics this season, and it is not easy to win. But if they don't beat the Celtics, the road for the Knicks will be even more difficult, so they can only fight with their backs to finish in the top four as soon as possible and gain home-court advantage in the playoffs.

When Zhang Chen walked out of his study space, he found that the tiredness and laziness of these days had been swept away! If his body had reached a critical point of fatigue before entering the study space, now he has completely eliminated the fatigue in his body and has completely entered the peak state, feeling that every cell in his body is bathed in the warmth of light, and his heart is also full of a confident look of ambition for the next competition.

In the early morning, the sun was shining, Zhang Chen ate outside and walked into the stadium, at this time there was usually no one in the stadium.

Over the past few days, Zhang Chen, who was originally a training maniac, has also appropriately reduced the number of times he trains, after all, his physical strength has reached a critical value, and if he continues to squander like this, his physical condition will get worse and worse. Therefore, these days, Zhang Chen is only maintaining his basic training, but there is not much additional training, so everyone has not seen Zhang Chen appear in the stadium very early for a long time.

D'Antoni has also been a little anxious recently, the most important thing is because of Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen's recent form is not very good, and there is often no motivation to continue to move forward in the third quarter of a game. At these times, his shooting percentage will drop accordingly, and the collapse of the team will follow, which worries him.

Because the player is already quite difficult at this time, if it is not handled well, then the player may even be directly destroyed by these things in this life, and then gradually disappear from everyone, after all, even if a player's skills are all over the world, his body is the foundation of the skill that can be played, so Zhang Chen's body cannot have any damage.

D'Antoni is a little worried, if Zhang Chen continues to be so powerless, the Knicks' condition may get worse and worse. However, when D'Antoni came to the arena and was about to start arranging some training, he saw Zhang Chen who was training, and the basketball passed through his crotch and his back again and again, and it could be seen that he seemed to be practicing his breakthrough skills, and his body was swaying, like a rickety boat in a storm. Zhang Chen is very serious about controlling the ball, and he is also serious about breaking through, and it can be seen that he is working quite hard.

D'Antoni was a little surprised, and at the same time a little worried, came to his side and said, "Chen, how is it?" Have you regained your strength? You can't take such an adventure without recovery. It could even ruin your entire career! ”

Zhang Chen turned his head and saw D'Antoni, the head coach who had been with him for two years, with worry in his eyes, the two of them had already had that kind of real friendship, so Zhang Chen also understood that his concern came from the heart. Therefore, Zhang Chen also smiled slightly and said, "I understand, but I have recovered now." ”

"Recovered?" D'Antoni walked up a little incredulously to see Zhang Chen's condition or something, but after all, he was not a doctor, so he couldn't see the clue in this way. Zhang Chen hurriedly hugged his shoulders and pushed him to the side of the court: "I've recovered!" Look at my performance. ”

After speaking, he started his next exercise, which is also the realistic training of his seventh level physical training, this kind of physical fitness training naturally cannot be all carried out in the learning space, and the training in reality is the most important. Zhang Chen started his round trip again and again, as well as various other training movements.

In the eyes of Zhang Chen and D'Antoni, these training actions naturally seem commonplace, but if ordinary people come to see it at this time, they will definitely be amazed at this level of training, which is simply a kind of masochism! D'Antoni looked at Zhang Chen next to the court, and saw him walking in the court again and again with explosive power, without fatigue, every time he broke out, his body was full of beautiful lines, and suddenly, the corners of D'Antoni's mouth also put a smile, and then said: "Yes, you have recovered...... It's amazing, you can always do something strange to us......" D'Antoni came to Zhang Chen's side, and suddenly continued: "But, Chen, pay attention, you shouldn't be too desperate......"

Zhang Chen nodded, smiled and wiped his sweat, he could naturally hear D'Antoni's concern, and in the next time, Zhang Chen continued to practice on the basketball court alone, while D'Antoni was writing and drawing next to him, measuring the implementation of some tactics.

After a long time, the two of them sat on the stool next to the basketball court, the towel covered Zhang Chen's face, he leaned back and threw it, and then said: "It's been a long time since I've had such a hearty training, and my body has always been like a stinky skin recently, dragging your movements, making you unable to advance and retreat, making you unable to do more training, and now I can finally get out of this state, it feels so good." ”

D'Antoni smiled and said, "Your recovery will help us regain our position in the rankings, and we will also have hope of marching towards fourth place." ”

Zhang Chen nodded, then took a sip of water and said, "Seriously, we don't know how far our current lineup can go." ”

D'Antoni groaned slightly: "It's not impossible to win the championship." ”

"It's possible, but it's too small to win the championship, and I've thought a lot about it, maybe we have the ability to win next season, but it won't be this season."

"Why do you say that, if you don't have the ability to win this season, then next season won't be like that? That's what we've got in the squad and that's still what we've got in our players. ”

Zhang Chen smiled mysteriously and did not answer D'Antoni's question, in fact, he also understood that it is quite difficult to win the championship this season, and the strong teams in the east are still endless. Even if the top-ranked Cavaliers show off their power in the regular season, there is a bit of a silver gun at the root, but none of the remaining teams are easy to deal with - Magic, Celtics, etc., so the Knicks are better off finishing in the top four now.

Of course, there is still little chance of winning the championship this season.

But next season is different, Zhang Chen's self-confidence mainly comes from himself, and when the next season begins, he can really transform into a person who can't be stopped whether it is offense, defense or assists and rebounds, and he is enough to become the real pillar of this team. By next season, after all the training sessions, a cushion of one offseason would be enough for him to transform into a player that no one else could have imagined.

Once, this league was dominated by the center, and the NBA was the world of the center, but then Jordan broke the habit of this kind of basketball, and ushered in a basketball revolution and complete change with his 1.98 meter size on the outside. He propped up a dynasty with his own body, proving that defenders can also dominate the game, they can dominate the league.

By next season, the twenty-two-year-old Zhang Chen will be able to become such a player, and even slightly better, so Zhang Chen has the confidence to win the championship next season. What's more, the Knicks are not only Zhang Chen, but also Randolph, who has become stronger and stronger in some of the footwork skills and offensive and defensive skills taught by Zhang Chen. Coupled with David Lee, who is also slowly improving, the two of them are enough to defend the dignity of the inner line, and at this time, with a Zhang Chen who can even share a backhand and a thunderstorm, it will become simpler together.

However, this is not this season, first of all, Randolph is still a person who has problems in his mind and many places, playing emotionally, doing everything evil off the field, and he often touches things like marijuana, and his strength is not below that level. However, it can be seen that he is consciously transforming into a good player and wants to contribute to the team's progress, but it all takes time. So, the Knicks need time to wait for Randolph.

Another factor is David Lee, this guy has quickly become the interior pillar of the Knicks, his offense and defense have become a nightmare for opponents, and he is gradually growing into a terrifying interior player who can average 15+10 per game. But all this also takes time, after all, he is still a little immature, and he still needs the constant test of war to be able to really succeed.

As for the outside part, Gallinari's shooting is also relatively good, and he can occasionally go inside to grab rebounds, dunk, and pass beautiful balls. He also has a lot of room to grow, and the remaining one is Duhon, although this person has reached the end of his growth, but his composure and his experience are also what the team needs.

That way, as long as they can give the Knicks a certain amount of time, they can really pry the league.

Of course, before the start of next season, they still have to do some minor repairs to the roster, mainly to add one or two good bench bandits to the interior, and Eddie Curry's fat man has made a lot of people unbearable, and people hope to trade him for a few good players. It's just that Eddie Curry's contract won't expire until 2011, but there will be some teams who will be interested.

The transformation of the Knicks is already in sight.

When it was time to train, Zhang Chen once again began to point out Randolph's footsteps, although the inner footsteps and the outer footsteps have different requirements, but after all, they are all the pursuit of flexibility in the footsteps, so Zhang Chen was finally able to put forward some of his own experience, so that Randolph's footsteps are more and more flexible. Randolph has also lived up to Zhang's expectations, averaging 17.8 points and 10.4 rebounds per game in the last month, and his numbers have gone from strength to strength.

After a crazy March, the current Knicks are gradually rejuvenated, especially after seeing Zhang Chen's recovery, everyone is more motivated, and their morale is slowly rising.

That night, the Knicks host the Celtics, both in the same division, and the two teams have one meeting left this season, and today is the last game.

Although Celtic's record has dropped now, it can be seen that they are also a little lacking in the sharpness and domineering of the defending champions last season, but they are still a team that cannot be ignored. They still have the best configuration in the league, and they also have the pinnacle and most sophisticated tactical execution in the league, and no one can replace the Spurs and Celtics in this regard.

The tactical execution of the Celtics and their tactical operation is quite astonishing, and no one can question that they are a sophisticated instrument, and every operation will be a bloody storm that has been successfully set off.

Tonight, not long after Zhang Chen had some exchanges with a few people he knew about the Celtics, the game was about to start.

The audience looked at Zhang Chen, and they were a little worried, because in the last month, although Zhang Chen was still magical, his data had also dropped a lot, and now they were all a little worried that Zhang Chen would suddenly drop the chain as before, and his strength would be exhausted, and finally let the Celtics take advantage.

There is no doubt that the Celtics are one of the strongest teams in the league.

Today, the Celtic guys are all polite, including Garnett, who is also talking and laughing with Zhang Chen, only the little potato Robinson is hot, it can be seen that this guy is quite disdainful, and he wants revenge.

Yes, the Knicks have given up a lot of people for Zhang Chen, and they have also given up a lot of contracts, because to give room to attract Zhang Chen, Robinson is the first to bear the brunt, and this kind of player with a surname will naturally be cleaned up. That's why Robinson is so angry now, he wants to slaughter his old club today.

This guy is really non-stop, jumping around all day, a few days ago Pierce beat the Western Spurs away from home, and then Pierce stretched out his hands to make a flying gesture and ran on the ground, Robinson has been celebrating with him next to him, but when he jumped, Pierce had already run away, and he fell headfirst to the ground, almost breaking his neck.

Zhang Chen also has no good feelings for this person who once provoked him.

At the beginning of the game, the wolf king rarely stepped forward to jump the ball today, but most of people's eyes were focused on Zhang Chen on the basketball court, and they hoped that Zhang Chen could get rid of the shadow brought by the previous month and find his true self in this game.

"Smack!" David Lee and Kevin Garnett collided their palms in the sky almost at the same time, and then the basketball quickly flew to both sides, and it was clear that the winner had been decided.

The basketball was slapped into Rondo's hands by the young Garnett.

This season, Rondo has also begun to gather Godhead, with more and more assists and more triple-doubles, and gradually became the fourth big man of the Celtics. This son is scheming, his surname is calm, and his outside jump shot is really unsatisfactory, but in any case, this person has already ranked among the top point guards in the league.

Rondo rushed towards the half court, Du Hong didn't have time to defend for a while, Zhang Chen in order to prevent Rondo from directly breaking through the dunk or layup inside to hit the Knicks' morale, so he blocked directly in front of Rondo and couldn't let him break through himself. Rondo faced Zhang Chen, and suddenly there was a left and right, the basketball continued to rise on his left hand, and then, his body suddenly made a rapid movement, and the basketball was pulled to his right, and Zhang Chen's left wanted to break through directly.

Zhang Chen was already a tenth-level defensive strength, so it was naturally impossible to be overtaken by such a change of direction, but when he saw Rondo's hasty appearance, lightning flashed in his subconscious, so he pretended to be overlooked.

At the moment when Rondo was ready to start a real long drive, Zhang Chen's left hand suddenly stretched out, and stabbed his basketball just right, and the basketball quickly left Rondo's control, and Zhang Chen directly bypassed his back at this moment, and continued to use his left hand to scoop the basketball into his arms!

In less than a second, the ownership of the basketball has changed its position, and Zhang Chen, who grabbed the basketball, stepped forward and rushed out directly.

At this time, the army came towards the Knicks' half, but Zhang Chen controlled the ball but went against the force and killed it in a different direction.

"Oops, it was stealed...... Rondo was annoyed in his heart, and hurriedly wanted to run back towards the half court with his guilt, but the Celtics at this time had already reacted, and hurriedly arranged layers of obstacles on Zhang Chen's way forward to block his rapid return.

Zhang Chen forcibly interspersed all the way, and directly stretched out two hands in front of him to stab his basketball, but at this time, Rondo also pounced towards Zhang Chen.

Three to one, they must force the basketball in Zhang Chen's hand down.

Ordinary players are basically lacking in the face of such defense, and many times the basketball in their hands will change hands directly because of a mistake, however, Zhang Chen at this time, finally let his perfect ball control skills shine, the other three people forced up at the same time, his right hand is still not afraid of danger, and the basketball has been sticking to his hand and refusing to let go.

Then, Zhang Chen used a few clever shots, and actually used a change of direction to finish from the net laid by the three people, directly swept past the three people, and forcibly broke into the inner line!

Zhang Chen's finger-twisting and soft ball control simply stunned everyone.
