When the timeout came, Paul walked around the bench in a crisp gray suit, and he really had the demeanor of a head coach. He didn't even use a tactical board, but pointed to various positions on the basketball court very boldly, and then directly ordered everyone's position.

However, Paul obviously values Zhang Chen very much now, and Zhang Chen's performance just now has shocked his heart to a certain extent. It's a lucky thing for a point guard to have a teammate who can turn your painstaking passes into assists, and it's clear that he's seen that Zhang Chen.

Paul has even thought about next year's All-Star Game, and it would be nice to be able to play a game with this guy with a consistently high shooting percentage! He even thought that if Zhang Chen could fight side by side with him in the same team... Paul suddenly felt that he was so yy.

"Tatsu ...... What do you think...... Can you get on the pitch soon and let your opponent taste what you're capable of? Paul patted Zhang Chendi on the shoulder and asked.

"I'm sorry~~" Zhang Chen said apologetically: "You know that my physical strength is prone to some problems, and I must plan my physical strength reasonably." "It is true, although Zhang Chen's physical strength is far from being as exaggerated as reaching the critical value, it has also consumed a lot.

Paul nodded a little disappointedly, then he glanced at the rest of the first-year team and began to prepare for the players.

After the whistle blew, the game began again, and as the players stepped onto the basketball court, the crowd of spectators rang out again.

Now the roster has changed somewhat, with Conley and Durant left on the first-year team, and everyone else was replaced with new players. Yi Jianlian stepped onto the basketball court and was greeted with cheers from some spectators on the sidelines and in front of the TV.

The two sides began to fight again!

Zhang Chen sat beside Noah, wrapped his head in a towel, watched the players coming and going on the basketball court, and silently noted the technical styles of these people in his heart. Also check out some more Kevin? Durant's approach to basketball, he knows there's a lot to learn from here.

After receiving another pass, Durant used a dribbling pass past the defender and then quickly inserted it to the basket to prepare for the offense.

However, his opponents reacted quite quickly, and they immediately surrounded him in front of him, surrounding him in all directions.

At the critical moment, Durant held the ball, nailed his left foot to the ground, and then used his right foot to rotate flexibly with the opponent.

This ball, Durant slid on the inside like a loach, his body was very slippery, and he was always able to appear in unexpected places, and then find an open space to shoot successfully.

Zhang Chen watched Durant's series of scoring processes thoughtfully, and Noah, who was sitting next to him, said a lot: "Hey...... Chen, did you see it...... Kevin is like a loach......" he said as he reproduced the appearance of Durant's shot just now, Zhang Chen looked at his funny appearance and felt a burst of amusement: "Hey, I think you can absorb more of his offensive art instead of pointing fingers here...... It's funny. ”

Noah laughed: "I'm just trying to make you more aware of how he scores, you know it's an art to see it as well. Saying that, he was tired of preparing to imitate some people's funny goal actions and video replay next to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was amused by this funny guy, it seems that many Americans have such a talent for entertainment, and can always use some unexpected methods to make friends laugh.

Zhang Chen's fate is indeed a loss for the first-year team.

After Zhang Chen left the court, the stable firepower of the first-year team immediately decreased by one, although Durant was able to occasionally contribute a few goals on the court, but his goals were much more inconsistent than Zhang Chen.

The second-year team took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and they charged several times in a row within a few minutes, quickly hitting a score**, and the first-year team was clumsy left and right, and in an instant they were completely at a disadvantage.

The clock came to the 14th minute of the first half, and now the score is 41:33, and the first-year team is eight points behind.

"**~~" Zhang Chen suddenly heard Paul, who looked gentle with a baby face, suddenly spit out this word, and couldn't help but be a little funny, but Paul was really worried, now the score of the first-grade team has fallen behind a lot, and he looked at the increasingly fierce tide offensive of the second-grade team, and his heart began to worry.

For nearly five years, the first-year team has been pressed under the feet of the second-year team, and the second-year team has always been able to steadily suppress the first-year team and finally win.

This time, Paul, as the coach of the first-year team, tried to get the first-year team to make some changes and be able to beat the second-year team that looked incredibly strong. This is what he expects, so seeing the score between the two sides now, he suddenly became a little anxious.

On the basketball court, Guy broke through again and hit a layup, and the first-year team's deficit had expanded to 10 points!

Paul watched the performance with concern, and then saw that the first-year team Durant missed a shot, the rebound was taken by the second-year team, and after a series of fast-break shots, the score gap between the two sides became 12 points.

Paul's right hand trembled slightly, then motioned to the referee to call a timeout.

There was a 20-second timeout in each half of the Rookie Challenge, and Paul had used up the only 20-second timeout of the first half and now had 4 minutes and 57 seconds left until the end of the first half.

"Hey...... Guys...... I have to say that your performance is a bit disappointing, yes, they are very strong, they are very good, but I don't think that is a reason for us to fall behind! We have to redouble our efforts and finally take out the sophomore team, you have to believe that you are the strongest, and at the same time play all your abilities......" Paul really doesn't have any tactical arrangements, and in this situation, even if he can make any arrangements, he basically doesn't have much execution, in the end, this is just a temporary patchwork lineup, although many of them are people who stand at the pinnacle of basketball skills on the planet.

Paul glanced at Zhang Chen hopefully, and then said, "Chen...... What do you think? I think you're almost ready to try to play now, you need to play your shooting skills and give the opponent a taste of what you're good at. ”

Zhang Chen nodded, it seems that Paul still really values himself and likes his shooting, his physical strength has almost recovered at this time, and it is time to play. Although this is only a team that has been put together on an improvised basis, Zhang Chen does not want his team to lose.

Paul was joined by Noah, who high-fived each other and ran to his seat.

Now it is the first grade team's possession, Zhang Chen and his teammates have run through the half, although the time has passed fourteen minutes, but many people are still fierce, running quite fast, just a moment later, they have come to the half of the pillow to fight.

The basketball was very stable in Conley's hands, and at this time he saw that Zhang Chen seemed to have space to catch the ball, and then looked at the current score situation between the two sides, so he abandoned some of his previous prejudices about Zhang Chendi and passed the basketball to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen's few three-pointers before the timeout still made Conley feel very good, such three points are quite important for the current first-year team, they are now 12 points behind, if they can use a few threes to recover the score is a very good choice.

Defending Zhang Chendi is still Roy, Roy spreads his hands and bends his legs slightly, bending over in front of Zhang Chendi to defend without leaking.

Roy had just seen Zhang Chen's attack methods, and to be honest, it was very poor...... But a passage leads to it, and when Zhang Chen's shooting becomes unpredictable, Zhang Chen's shooting is unsolvable, and along with his various offensive methods, it also becomes unsolvable.

Therefore, Roy is quite attentive to Zhang Chendi's defense.

Although this is a performance-oriented game, Zhang Chen also spares no effort when defending Roy, so Roy also feels that he must also spare no effort to defend Zhang Chen.

Seeing Roy's tigerish look, Zhang Chen held the basketball in his arms, and then, he suddenly shouted: "Jooquin!" Pick-and-roll! ”

Noah understood, and at the moment when Zhang Chen just shouted, he rushed out of the inner line and came to the place to Zhang Chen's left, Zhang Chen saw Noah come up and started without stopping, Roy followed and also started, but it was too late, because Zhang Chen quickly swept past him, although Roy wanted to stop Zhang Chen, but it was too late, he crashed into a person.

"Oops~~"

Roy secretly sighed in his heart, and at this time, Zhang Chen had already driven straight into the middle of the three-point arc.

Now although some people want to catch up and defend Zhang Chen, but it is too late, Zhang Chen jumps at the top of the three-point arc, and the basketball whirls into the net with a violent whirlpool.

"Beautiful!" Although this person just got rid of himself, although this person and himself are now opponents, Roy couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, Zhang Chendi's shooting is indeed quite beautiful, he just missed a little, he has dodged his distance and scored a jump shot.

"Another beautiful three! It seems that Zhang Chen's hand feels quite good today, he has gone crazy! Yao Ming spared no effort in the studio and said loudly: "Zhang Chen's play, he will immediately give the first-grade team a strong firepower point, his three-point shooting is quite stable, and the shooting rate remains high, it seems that the second-grade team needs to spend more time to suppress their counterattack...... It's a pity that Noah replaced Yi Jianlian just now, so we regret not seeing Zhang Chen and Yi Jianlian fighting side by side...... Yi Jianlian just played 7 minutes and scored 2 points and a rebound, this data can be regarded as decent, and he should have a certain amount of time and space to perform next. ”

Seeing Zhang Chen on the court, the happiest person here is definitely Avril, I don't know when it started, Avril likes Zhang Chen's game very much, and likes to watch the basketball leave Zhang Chen's hands and fly into the basket. Every time she saw it, she always felt very comfortable, she felt that Zhang Chen should have been so good.

Zhang Chen's appearance immediately helped the first-year team recover three points, and now the score difference is back to 9 points, back to single digits.

"Good shooting~~" Roy didn't know what he was thinking, and praised Zhang Chen after he scored.

Zhang Chen suddenly felt a little stunned when he heard Roy's praise, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile, "Thank you." ”

The two men ran back into the half, and the sophomore's offense began.

The basketball came to Roy's hands, and he faced Zhang Chen, ready to start attacking.

Zhang Chen is quite concerned about defending Roy, he knows that Roy is a very difficult player, as a sophomore, he has made many achievements that a player cannot achieve in a lifetime.

Roy held the ball, pinned his left foot to the ground, and then tested Zhang Chen's defensive baseline with his right foot, after three tests, he suddenly raised the basketball in his hand, and then jumped high in front of Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen's height is taller than Roy, if Roy picks his head directly in front of Zhang Chen without any preparation activities just now, although Zhang Chen basically can't cover Roy's shot, but no matter what he says, he can interfere with Roy and reduce his shooting percentage.

However, after Roy had just gone through a few tentative feints that seemed to be ready to break through, at the last moment, he suddenly stretched out his right leg forward, and at that moment, Zhang Chen's judgment of Roy was that this guy was definitely going to break through.

Just a little misjudgment, Zhang Chen completely lost the defensive opportunity, and could only watch Roy jump up in front of him, his center of gravity had a problem, and when he jumped up and blocked Roy with his right hand, Roy had completed a series of shooting actions, and Zhang Chen's fingertips could only watch Roy's basketball helplessly.

The margin was 12 points again, and the margin was back in double digits once again.

The second-year team always has a lot of advantages against the first-year team, they can suppress the rhythm of both sides, they can control every attack, and the choice of attack is also in place, and the first-year team seems to be more than lucky.

"Attack! Offensive! Paul saw the basketball once again in the hands of the first-graders and began to yell on the side of the basketball court.

After dribbling past halftime, the basketball came into Durant's hands, and now the first-year team has basically reverted to the lineup they had started with.

Durant has scored 9 points on 4-of-9 shooting so far, which is indeed dwarfed by Zhang Chen's.

He's currently relying on his height and hand length, and with a hook hand, the basketball flies towards the basket.

Unfortunately, the basket rejected him, and the basketball flew out and came to Noah.

Noah grabbed the rebound, didn't think about it at all, and threw it back in the direction of Zhang Chendi.
