After an offseason of hard work, Durant's strength has indeed improved a lot, and Zhang Chen can clearly feel this progress, and he has been able to play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses well. Of course, his progress is only a small drop compared to Zhang Chen's progress.

Just now Zhang Chen stole one of Durant, and completed a slam dunk from the steal road, and now the basketball appeared in Zhang Chen's hands again, Durant hurriedly came up and tried to find the court just now, but Zhang Chen's ball control skills made him completely unable to start.

Zhang Chen didn't seem to have much offensive performance in front of Durant's old rival**, and he passed the ball again to his teammate Du Hong, who hoisted the basketball into the inside. The basketball came to Randolph's hands, and Randolph saw Zhang Chen and Du Hong slam dunks one after another after the opening, and his heart was also full of performance, ready to have a big slam dunk.

It's just that Randolph's attempt was still a notch worse after all, although he found an empty space, but unfortunately this empty space was a little worse, so he finally had to give up his dream of slam dunk, and finally used a one-handed small throw to shoot into the frame. Randolph's technique is getting more and more delicate, and now he can still make such a move to test the school's skills, and the goal is neat, so that although Randolph was not able to satisfy his desire for a slam dunk, he finally got two points in another way.

The game started with two consecutive dunks, followed by a one-handed small throw by Randolph, and to be honest, the Knicks played quite beautifully, but the people in the audience were still hostile to the Knicks after all, so they responded to Randolph's small throw with huge boos. Of course, although they are booing, it is not contradictory to their appreciation of the Knicks' beautiful goals, and they still like the Knicks' kind of attack that comes and goes like the wind and is as fast as lightning.

The people who came to watch the game today and some guys reported a not-so-bright purpose - they came to see Zhang Chen. The recent incident between Zhang Chen and Avril and Taylor's double female door shocked the entire American gossip community. In fact, looking at the excitement, discussing gossip is never just the preserve of Chinese, gossip is the fourth major human instinct, and Americans are also eagerly following the progress of this matter.

So there were some people in Oklahoma who wanted to come and see Zhang Chen playing, and see what kind of three-headed and six-armed guy Zhang Chen was who could capture the hearts of two women. Of course, Zhang Chen's appearance quickly made them understand that this guy really has the ability to attract two beauties, of course, the strength of a man seems to be more important than his appearance, so they are also looking forward to the further progress of things, and want to see what Zhang Chen's strength is like.

Then, Zhang Chen gave Durant a dismount in the second ball after the opening, took out the basketball from Durant's hand, and then ran across the half court to a powerful slam dunk, and the sound of the slam dunk made everyone's hearts numb.

The Zhang Chen, who was flying high and flying towards the basket and towards the sky, looked like a god of war in the Nine Heavens, combined with his handsome face, people quickly understood that it was really possible for such a person to capture the hearts of two beauties. This guy has a domineering spirit in his agility, and there is elegance in his domineering, just such a fast-break layup, which also fully reflects his kind of leisurely strolling on the court and his dancing art-like ball skills.

However, their main backing is the city's hero Durant, the guy who can lead the team forward and compete with the Hornets for eighth place. So, when Durant received Westbrook's start trying to score, the audience was already cheering, and hoped to use this cheer to make Durant's basketball roll over and into the net more lightly.

Durant was able to easily feel Zhang Chen's defensive progress, and the speed of this improvement made Durant panic, and last season he lost to Zhang Chen's improved speed, and he suddenly went from an unknown non-draft player to a dazzling hot rookie in a blink of an eye. His ball skills have also slowly changed from only shooting to first-class speed, and now he has added some items with amazing power and amazing ball control skills, so such a Zhang Chen makes him panic, and he always feels that the distance between him and Zhang Chen may be getting farther and farther away.

Putting these thoughts aside and not thinking about him, Durant began to try to break through, he is now the absolute core of the Thunder team, and his position on the Thunder team can be said to be supreme, so he can get most of the ball as long as he wants. So now he started to try to attack Zhang Chen again, Zhang Chen slightly sideways his upper body, blocking Durant's way forward, and at the same time raising his right hand high to prevent his sudden and possible pull-up jump shot.

The height advantage is not omnipotent, not to mention that there is not much height difference between Zhang Chen and Durant, so it is impossible for Durant to force it in front of Zhang Chen, and he needs to choose a more secure offensive method.

Durant gradually increased the power output at his feet, and was ready to use his feet to test Zhang Chen's defensive focus.

In fact, Durant is not very suitable for tough battles with defensive players, because he is not very capable of confrontation. This guy's main way to score is to use his height and flexibility, and he can be more flexible than the opponent against defenders who are taller than him, and he can take advantage of his height advantage against defenders who are more flexible than him, so he becomes a scoring machine, a scoring machine that makes everyone fearful.

In '07, there were two quite famous rookies, who are said to be the Double Star Yao League, that is, Zhang Chen and Durant, who were later commented as the little former twin stars, and now they are in a battle.

Durant tried for a while and found that he had no chance of breaking through Zhang Chen, so he suddenly passed the ball to Westbrook not far away. Westbrook understood what he was trying to do in Durant's gestures. And Zhang Chen also understood what this guy wanted to do after Durant suddenly started running.

Speaking of which, Durant is also a pretty good running player, and when he played against Zhang Chen last season, he was also able to usher in the applause of some running enthusiasts, because both of them are quite good players who run without the ball. Zhang Chen now understands what Durant wants to do, and it is estimated that he just wants to show himself his off-ball running skills.

Zhang Chen naturally won't let him succeed, in fact, his defense is already quite good, and because he is also an elusive running player, he also has a deep understanding of running, so he also has a relatively deep accomplishment when defending running players. For example, now, Durant used a variety of running moves that damaged brain cells and failed to completely shake off Zhang Chen, and as time passed, Durant had to receive the basketball from Westbrook in a not too good opportunity, and then he started to jump to the basket.

"Donkey skills are exhausted......" Zhang Chen thinks that Durant has no other tricks and can only force his shot, but unfortunately his center of gravity shift quickly failed, because after Durant made this feint, he suddenly turned around, and suddenly his body came to another direction, and he jumped and shot after adjusting his direction in the air.

"Huh!" Durant's luck today is really not ordinarily good, two jumpers hit in a row, and the ball he hits now is also scored neatly, so that Zhang Chen has no time to make up for his misjudgment.

Durant is even more cunning, which is Zhang Chen's evaluation for him, because this guy is completely less jerky when dealing with some burst balls last season when he played against the SuperSonics. Durant has also grown up in the NBA and is now a rising superstar for the Thunder.

Zhang Chen also needs more precautions when facing Durant, and the next ball is still Zhang Chen in possession, and the Thunder team does not have anyone who knows how to live and die to steal, so Zhang Chen also passed the half smoothly. Durant has been in a tight position since Zhang Chen was in possession of the ball, and he is ready to compete with Zhang Chen again, but this time the two of them have completed the offensive and defensive switching. Just like last season, he hopes to have another hearty battle with Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen came to him as he wished, unhurriedly controlled the ball in front of Durant, and then suddenly came to a crotch dribble, and then used a feint to break through directly. His speed was very fast, and Durant was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly wanted to block Zhang Chen's attack.

Zhang Chen's ball-handling skills on the fast break that ball just now, as well as his speed and tyrannical power when abusing the basket, made the Thunder's interior very taboo against him, so everyone was ready to start defending Zhang Chen and not letting him go deeper inside.

Zhang Chen managed to attract everyone's encirclement, and then he suddenly pulled out a jump shot in front of Durant.

"Finally shot?!" Durant was overjoyed, seeing that Zhang Chen's ball had some problems with the starting angle, coupled with the assistance of his teammates, it was relatively easy to interfere with Zhang Chen's goal. Therefore, Durant let his body soar into the air and defended Zhang Chen with his teammates next to him.

However, just when he thought he could prevent Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen's hands shrank, and then the basketball bypassed Durant's back, and went directly to the basket with stars and moons, and came to the hands of David Lee on the inside.

"Bang!" David Lee's heavy strength was once again perfectly displayed in the arena, and the rickety basket was showing the heavy power of David Lee's slam dunk just now, and then David Lee came to Zhang Chen's face, and the two of them gave a high-five. David Lee was still praising Zhang Chen while high-fived: "Hey, Chen, your ball is awesome!" Awesome! ”

Zhang Chen accepted the praise, and then Zhang Chen began to retreat.

Only Durant faced the basket that was still swaying, making a thoughtful look, as if he had seen something. Then he ran through the half court and came to Zhang Chen, but it seemed that he didn't plan to catch the ball now, but fought a little absent-mindedly.

In fact, he was thinking about himself and Zhang Chen, he originally thought that when he met Zhang Chen again, he would definitely be domineering, and use some more humiliating moves to add to himself, obviously, this is not the case, Zhang Chen has no attack except for the fast attack that must be grasped.

Durant wanted to use time to test whether Zhang Chen really didn't have any offense, but in the next six minutes, Zhang Chen really didn't attack, only one missed the shot, and then never shot again. Therefore, by the eighth minute of the game, Zhang Chen only scored two points, but he had already brushed out two assists. There are several indirect assists, and the Knicks are a little sluggish after the game just started, and it seems that Zhang Chen's slump has affected the Knicks.

In the eighth minute of the first quarter, the score of the two sides was 17:12, the Knicks trailed by five points, and Zhang Chen got two points and two assists, but Durant cut 11 points and 2 rebounds in these eight minutes, accounting for more than 60% of the team's scores.

The audience erupted in applause for Durant, who was not ashamed of his attention today, on the contrary, he performed quite well. Compared to last year's contender for the best rookie in the competition, Zhang Chen, Durant's performance is much better.

On the bench, D'Antoni was a little strange: "Tatsu, what's wrong with you?" Looks like you're not in a good place today? ”

Zhang Chen frowned: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired." In fact, the media's pursuit of him these days has really made him a little unbearable, which has also led to his exhaustion, which is more mental, which has led to his state today being a little depressed.

"Okay...... Would you like to take a break? D'Antoni asked with a little concern, he still knew a little bit about the source of Zhang Chen's troubles. In fact, it is not only the media that has troubled Zhang Chen in the past few days, in fact, it is more of Avril's problem that has troubled Zhang Chen, which ended abruptly when the love had just begun, which made Zhang Chen often a little trance. Of course, the current D'Antoni has nothing to blame Zhang Chen, and some things cannot be controlled.

"No need......" Zhang Chen rejected D'Antoni: "I will work hard next, because Kevin is also a very good opponent, and our team is now behind, I can't let him laugh at me and think that I have regressed." ”

"That's good." D'Antoni nodded, and then began to explain the tactics, and he arranged some offensive tasks for Zhang Chen, such as open jump shots and the like.

When he stepped on the court again, there was a burst of boos in front of Zhang Chen from the audience.

After the opening, Zhang Chen directly steals Durant and then hits a fast-break layup, which makes the audience feel that Zhang Chen is a guy who can make many women crazy. It's a pity that Zhang Chen's sharpness disappeared later, and there was only one mid-range shot that didn't hurt or itch, which made them gradually disappointed and disdainful - this guy is nothing more than that, and Kevin? Durant is nothing compared to him.

"This guy probably doesn't like it...... Look at how he's been battered on Kevin's offense and defense. A spectator in the audience was talking to his companions.

His companion said, "Yes, it's a little white face, but I guess he spent all his energy on two beautiful singers, which is why he is so weak." ”

…… Such discussions are endless, of course, Zhang Chen cannot fully hear them.

After re-entering the court, the first ball was in Zhang Chen's hands, and Durant began to retreat to the half court to participate in defense. In the past time, Zhang Chen's performance made him feel incredible, he originally thought that Zhang Chen had improved a lot, but who knew that the ability he showed was far inferior to before. This made him have some speculation about Zhang Chen's strength, and he simply said to Zhang Chen: "Hey, Chen, show your true skills!" ”

Really? Zhang Chen smiled slightly, and then suddenly passed the ball to Du Hong, and also gave him a gesture.

The audience who was talking about Zhang Chen just now turned their heads one after another: "I know that this guy still doesn't dare to attack!" ”

Many people also nodded in agreement, Durant was also very disappointed, he didn't expect Zhang Chen to still not want to attack, if he didn't want to attack, he didn't know how much he had improved, and at the same time, there was no way for Zhang Chen to see the improvement of his defensive ability.

However, at the moment when he began to be disappointed, Zhang Chen's footsteps suddenly staggered, and then, Zhang Chen suddenly rushed to Durant's right hand and entered the inside line!

"Oops!" Durant remembered Zhang Chen last season, the breakthrough was like a ghost, the elusive Zhang Chen, the Zhang Chen who flew in the crowd and wore flowers and leaves. That kind of running technique did make him feel a little creepy when he thought about it, and now he quickly judged that this guy was about to start his chilling movement.

So, Durant hurriedly followed Zhang Chen, but Zhang Chen made a running feint that confused the whole world in everyone's eyes.

"What is this guy running? Anyway, he didn't dare to attack...... There's no way to get out of Kevin's defensive range. Someone in the audience was discussing Zhang Chen's running position with his companions, but before he finished speaking, Zhang Chen had already made that fake move that shook the sky, and this fake action also made Durant think that he could crotch Zhang Chen and ran in a wrong direction ecstatically, the consequence of his doing so was to bring himself a cup, because Zhang Chen had changed direction, and suddenly came near the bottom line of the three-point line, and then Du Hong's pass flew out with tacit understanding and came to Zhang Chen's hands.

Zhang Chen jumped three points at the bottom corner of the three-point line, and the basketball was directly inserted into the net after crossing an arc, and Zhang Chen finally scored again after eight minutes!

Those who criticized Zhang Chen just now were confused by Zhang Chendi's three-point shot and didn't know what to say, this three-point shot is really beautiful, not to mention that the three-point shot can already reflect a person's ability.
