“oh！ **！ What are you doing, damn it? Barbossa hurriedly snatched Zhang Chen's wine glass, and poured the little pitiful wine that Zhang Chen drank into his throat quite cherishedly, but he felt a little unquenched thirst, and howled in his heart at the moment: This is super expensive wine...... Ahhhh......h Thinking of this, Barbosa said angrily to Zhang Chen: "Hey, Chen, what do you want to do? I feel like you have to pay off my bill...... Otherwise, I won't let you go easily! ”

Zhang Chen laughed, patted him on the shoulder and walked upstairs, and after a while, Zhang Chen's footsteps came from the stairs, Barbossa glanced at Zhang Chen's back hatefully, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to ask for a glass of wine again, but now he drank and became a sullen drink.

That night, Zhang Chen almost lost sleep, this guy couldn't sleep several times in the middle of the night and sent text messages to disturb Avril, but fortunately, the person who was still in the three-minute heat was not only Zhang Chen, but also Avril. So the two of them talked for a long, long time on text messages at night.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone found that Zhang Chen had slept lazy! Zhang Chen has always been the most hard-working player on the Suns, and his life is quite regular all year round, every time he plays away, he immediately refuses to invite him to go to a nightclub at night, and in the morning when everyone is still sleeping, he has gotten up to practice yoga and bouncing in his room. Today is really unprecedented, and when everyone saw Zhang Chendi's face clearly, they all laughed ambiguously.

Because there were lip prints next to Zhang Chen's lips that had not been completely dried, Xiao Siyin walked over with a smile: "Let me guess what kind of beauty can make you reluctant to dry her lip prints...... oh…… God, it can't be Avril...... Her home is in New York! ”

Zhang Chen was shocked, his relationship with Avril couldn't be exposed like this, who knew that he was so surprised, and he was immediately seen by those guys who were quite observant, and suddenly all of them were full of ambiguous smiles or jealous expressions. Bell, in particular, beat his chest exaggeratedly: "Oh my God...... Avril is the girl of my dreams...... Tatsu, you're such a hateful fellow! ”

Zhang Chen's face was cold: "By the way, Raja, is Jenny okay lately?" ”

Bell immediately closed his mouth, everyone knew that he was a guy who was afraid of his wife, and all of a sudden, the Suns' collective breakfast was happy, and after the hostility between Zhang Chen and Barbossa slowly disappeared, the atmosphere of the Suns became more and more harmonious. It's a welcome change, and they can joke with anyone.

"What do I seem to be missing?" D'Antoni appeared in front of everyone's eyes and asked with a smile.

"It's a pity...... You're missing out on too much...... But you can see a little bit of it roughly, such as the red ring on Tatsuna's mouth. Xiao Si smiled and said, and after a while, D'Antoni's face sank: "Hey, Chen, I thought you wouldn't be a ridiculous person...... I didn't expect you to be able to resist the temptation! ”

Xiao Si and they went on a rampage, and what D'Antoni said was to say that they were ridiculous, and Xiao Si smiled evilly: "Boss...... I got a couple of tickets to the new nightclub...... I can assure you that this is the latest and most perfect. ”

D'Antoni grimaced: "This kind of thing you should sell to those perverts...... Ahem......" D'Antoni lowered his voice: "When did it start?" ”

............ "Okay, everybody, be quiet...... Our warm breakfast was coming to an end...... You can listen to me while eating. D'Antoni became serious and said, "From today, we have to start preparing for the playoffs in earnest!" Most of the people here have played in the playoffs, and I think you should be able to know the intensity of the series, which is going to be a serious test...... Over the past season, the history of our team has been an epic of blood and tears...... This time, none of us want history to repeat itself. ”

"Yes...... We want to win! "The players started to chim. D'Antoni raised his hand to lower their voices and said, "Well, I want to win too...... I'm just as hungry for victory as you are, especially this season, we've done things that we couldn't have imagined in previous years, we've taken the top spot in the West, we've been the regular season kings this season, and all the teams can only tremble under our tough offense! And this situation, we must continue into the playoffs! ”

"Yes!" Answers are uniform.

"We're going to carry that momentum into the playoffs, so I hope you can get back to the top as soon as possible...... We need to take on new challenges with peak strength and condition...... The playoffs are a battleground, a real battleground for all teams. So, from today onwards, I hope you can train on time, control your nightlife, adjust your diet and sleep...... In short, we have to use all means to make our playoff journey exciting! ”

"Yes!" Everyone expressed their opinions, Zhang Chen saw the kind of desire on everyone's face, although he had not participated in the playoffs, but he also experienced the feeling of really embarking on the iron-blooded journey of the playoffs from the faces of his teammates. This feeling was only experienced by Zhang Chen when he faced the Spurs in the regular season.

After saying this, D'Antoni stood up and said, "Okay, that's the end of my nonsense...... I know you know what you need to do! Well, break up, guys, and I hope to see you on the return plane soon. ”

Everyone dispersed in a hurry, but Zhang Chen was a little sad when he heard the last sentence, in this case, wouldn't he just have established a relationship with Avril and was going to separate from each other? Ahhhh......h Zhang Chen was annoyed, but there was no way, since he had become a professional player, he had to abide by the rules of professional players.

Although he was a little reluctant, Zhang Chen decisively followed the team on the plane back after meeting Avril, and the plane pierced the sky with a roar and roared towards Phoenix. Avril sat in her car, watching the departing plane with tail smoke and a little distracted, but she quickly reacted: she would be able to see him soon...... It won't be long before their playoffs are over.

Sitting on the plane, Zhang Chen suddenly had a feeling of a dream, the clouds swept low from the hinterland below the plane, and the plane seemed to be traveling in a dream. The sun shines on the edge of the porthole, and a dreamlike feeling appears above, as if it were all a dream.

I was supposed to be a former NCAA player who failed, and I still had a basketball dream deep down...... It's just that reality will eventually force itself to embark on a path that it does not want to take. Then, slowly disappear from everyone and marry a wife who is neither beautiful nor ugly...... Maybe I will return to China, and when I have a lovely son, I will pin my basketball dream on him...... But now everything is different.

Since having that space, Zhang Chen has gradually embarked on a path that he never dared to imagine with the help of space, he entered the Suns, slowly gained a foothold, and stepped to the top step by step, and he became the best rookie in this league...... All of this really felt like a dream, but even then he wished he never woke up in this dream.

The plane landed, all the imagination about Zhuang Zhou and the butterfly slowly hid back in his heart, and Zhang Chen was about to start preparing for the playoffs.

――――That night, Zhang Chen, who had just entered a state of love, chatted with Avril for a long time, they used MSN at first, and then it became a mobile phone text message, and it was not until late that Zhang Chen's habit of entering the study space returned to his mind, so he said sorry and entered the study space.

After closing his eyes and calming his mind for a while, a huge screen appeared in front of Zhang Chen, this screen covered the sky, as if covering everything. When Zhang Chen was able to read the words on the big screen clearly, a shot on the top began to jump.

Iverson held the ball, used a crossover, played the defender hard, and then, following up with a couple of deceptive feints, he went all out and went inside. This big screen is completely a three-dimensional feeling, Zhang Chen even feels that he is at the scene, watching Iverson's rage, as if there is still the sound of whistling and tearing wind in his ears.

In two consecutive steps, Iverson directly passed the two defenders, and the defenders had to sigh helplessly at such a terrifying speed, and then, Iverson had quickly gone straight to the basket, and one went to the basket lightly, and the basketball flew into the net with a slight knock on the basket.

"It's beautiful!!"

Although I have watched a lot of Iverson's breakthrough videos, every time I watch it, there is another gain, but Zhang Chen is starting to be a little confused this time, and the learning space lets him come to see what is going on? Do you want to say something?

After Iverson, there are several other videos of speed maniacs, especially Harris's, although this guy's breakthrough technology is not too good, but the speed of his hand is a deep helplessness.

Zhang Chen took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that his body had an abnormal feeling, as if it was a little lighter, his body in the learning space was simulated according to his real body data, and most of the things that happened in it were also valid for his real body. And now there was a strange sensation in his body that filled him with vigilance.

"Host speed level up to level nine! The ultimate speed practice is fully on! Please execute the Ultimate Speed Practice Program as soon as possible! A line of words appeared in Zhang Chen's mind, and for a while, Zhang Chen seemed to have been struck by lightning and couldn't speak for a long time.

Nine levels of speed! Level 9! That's the level of speed Iverson and theirs...... It's a god-level realm of speed on a real basketball court! At this rate, a lot of defenders are going to turn into clouds!

Recalling some of his previous breakthroughs, he was discovered by the other party and blocked his way forward, Zhang Chen's heart was full of confidence! Now he can complete an attack in just a moment, when the opponent has no time to react, and in a flash of lightning, the opponent has no power to parry at all!

Zhang Chen was excited again, and immediately began to try to run a few distances in the shooting space, interspersed with a lot of arc runs and direct large changes of direction. At this time, he really realized the power of the ninth-level speed, which was at least 20% higher than the speed power of his eighth-level speed! At such a speed, Zhang Chen's running position can even be close to insolvable, and his breakthrough will also rise because of this.

So...... His reputation as the rookie king this season will become more and more consistent.

After breaking through the ninth level of speed, the training content in the learning space has changed again, especially the passage that let Zhang Chen run inside, now it is getting more and more rugged, and most importantly, the big dog behind is more vicious, and their speed is getting faster and faster, Zhang Chen found out for the first time that even if his speed is upgraded, there are still loopholes - that big dog is rising with his strength!

However, in any case, the improvement of strength is quite exciting, and Zhang Chen is really painful and happy in the learning space.

That's a level 9 speed...... He's still in the early stages of level 9 speed, but in this stage he will be able to compete with speed maniacs like Paul and Brooks, and when he reaches the middle level of level 9 speed at a higher level, he will be able to compete with guys like Harris and Parker. And when he reached the peak of the ninth level speed, he could be on par with Iverson.

Iverson might be about the same as a player who looks a little lower than him if he were just talking about speed, but if you want to talk about his combined speed, arc speed and straight line speed, at least he's the fastest in the league right now. This is not my admiration for Iverson...... Rather, the learning space thinks so—or else it wouldn't have been using Iverson's videos in his initial education on speed.

Zhang Chen clenched his fists, and then began to devote himself to more rigorous training.

It's almost April 10th, and Zhang Chen is now finally able to break through the tenth level of speed, which is great news for him.

Recently, after Zhang Chen won the award of the best rookie in the league in March, although the praise for him was everywhere, some opposition to Zhang Chen also abounded. One of the more vocal opponents is the Los Angeles Sun, which has been defending Durant and thinks Zhang Chen is a joke, with their reporter writing in a recent article: "It's been a ridiculous season...... Of course, I'm not talking about the ridiculousness of people's performances this season, but in fact I would say that we made some mistakes in the rookie selection that could have caused some of our players to be treated unfairly. For example, Kevin this season? Durant, that's a pretty good guy...... In fact, I've seen this a while ago, he's always been polite, and he's known to be great, hard working, and always able to give us some surprises. However, I have to say that I don't feel worthy of the treatment he received. Kevin averages 20 points per game, which is of course a little worse than the Chinese rookie, but everyone knows that the numbers don't tell the whole story! Zhang Chen's score is so much that it can only be said that he happens to be in a strong team...... He was able to get what he wanted, but the superSonics ...... As we all know, it is not a strong team, and Kevin's average of five rebounds per game is beyond Zhang Chen's expectations! Hopefully, one day, the alliance will find out about their mistake and find a solution...... I think you should understand that something went wrong in the middle. ”

This newspaper has been an enemy of Zhang Chen this season, they always jump out to pour cold water or even dirty water on Zhang Chen when he is complacent, but in fact, Zhang Chen's coronation again is something that everyone is happy to see, his hit rate and his performance have conquered all audiences, so, after him, Zhang Chen's compatriots from the New York Star Weekly immediately jumped out and wrote:

"Tatsumi is a pretty good player...... This is not only from his stats, but also from his contribution to the team, if we just talk about the shooting percentage, in fact, Zhang Chen has become the pinnacle of all rookies in history, his three-point shooting rate so far is 56.5%, and the two-point shooting rate is 55.2%. That's pretty a lot of stats, and I think it's going to shatter some of the words that attack him! Zhang Chen deserves to sit in the position of the king of rookies, look at his current score...... He's now the league's eleventh player in points per game and ninth in season scores, which says a lot...... As for some people who make a fuss about his rebounds and assists...... What I'm trying to say is that people should find their place, right? Zhang Chen's positioning in the Suns is to find a pretty good point of attack for the Suns. In fact, he's done it, and he's done it well! ”

Liu Xuan is a relatively firm ally of Zhang Chen, not only from his position, but also from the interests of both sides.

It's just that doubts are still there, and many things still need to be proved by iron-blooded games, and a game near the end of the regular season quickly drew people to the Suns!

On April 9, 2008, the Suns hosted the New Orleans Hornets!

This game received a lot of attention before the game, with the Suns leading the way this season and the Hornets who have been closely catching up with the Suns in the West. Another point is that the MVP competition between Nash and Paul has reached a critical moment, although Nash's Suns team has a gorgeous record, but Chris Paul also has a surprising record and gorgeous statistics that make people worship. The 21+11.6+5.4+2.8 data gives a glimpse of a prelude to the coming of the point guard era in the league.

The duel between the old and new point guards is exciting, but Zhang Chen, who has been performing better and better recently and has advanced to the top 11 in the average points per game, is also full of expectations! So, this game is destined to be vigorous.
