The first quarter of the game was completely over, and Zhang Chen, who had been doing quite well in these games recently, was once again getting everyone's attention, and many media people and reporters were on the scene and started writing news on their own Weibo or directly on the website they were responsible for. Zhang Chen's performance in the first quarter once again surprised everyone, and his high scoring has continued for many games.

Although Zhang Chen's performance in the first quarter was a little up and down, he quickly broke through his speed and offense when he was a little limited by Battier, allowing himself to adapt to the new Battier defense, and now the more I watch his game, the more I appreciate it...... We have heard too many excellent defenders before, whether it is Jordan, Thomas, these legendary stars in the last century, or super players in this century, Kobe, Iverson, Maddie, Roy, etc., we can't find our Chinese names in them, now it's different, we can already foresee Zhang Chen's future, and we can also know that in a few decades, when someone looks back on legendary players, they will think of a name called Zhang Chendi! Sun Zhenping began to be decisively excited, and said such a long list of highly rated words, although everyone knows that this kind of thing is true, but it is a bit bad to say it in Sun Zhenping's mouth and in front of thousands of viewers across the country. Director Zhang hurriedly played a round next to him:

"Yes, Zhang Chen is a very good player, and we can even say that he is the pride of our new generation of basketball players. However, all of this needs more time to review, the big waves wash the sand, the real gold has to be under countless beating experience to really become the most brilliant thing, the same is true for the players, Zhang Chen still needs more time to hone and become the veritable gold! ”

The two men soon inserted an advertisement, and at this time, the players on both sides began to say some summaries of the game that had just been played.

The Rockets' locker room was a bit dull, the head coach wasn't talking, and many of the players were just leaning back on their stools with their eyes closed, and there were no particularly active people.

When Yao Ming walked into the locker room, he quickly noticed the strange atmosphere, but he knew where this atmosphere came from, that is, exhaustion, extreme exhaustion. The players didn't even bother to lift a finger. These crazy streaks have given them the achievements that many teams can only look up to, but they also bring them extreme exhaustion.

When Yao Ming saw this atmosphere, he began to say lightly: "Guys...... Were you too busy last night? Why are you all listless? ”

This sentence was greeted with a burst of good-natured laughter, but the players still have to do what they should do, those who should close their eyes are still closing their eyes and recuperating, and those who should be doing physiotherapy are still physiotherapy. Yao Ming was a little embarrassed, in fact, he was not a very entertaining person, especially he did not have the American humor that Americans can play treasure all the time. Just after this death, Maddie suddenly said, "Yao...... That's a nice compatriot of yours...... To be honest, I kind of appreciate his shots. ”

This sentence quickly became a bomb in the locker room, blowing people up: Maddie even said that she admired Zhang Chen's shooting!

Yao Ming, as Maddie's good friend and comrade-in-arms for many years, naturally knows how difficult it is for Maddie to praise someone like this, but this makes his heart full of pride: "That's natural...... Zhang Chenke is a very good player! I bet he's going to be a shining superstar! ”

Maddie said seriously, "Yao, do you know that compatriot of yours?" ”

Yao Ming's words were suffocated, and he suddenly realized that he actually knew very little about Zhang Chen.

――――"Hey, Chen, you're doing amazing...... That ultra-long-distance three-point is even more incredible to me! "The teammates all came up to talk to Zhang Chen, and now that they are two points ahead of the Rockets, the atmosphere is starting to liven up.

And Nash was also joking with them next to him, which made Zhang Chen, an honest man, blush a little.

The game continued to start in the second quarter, and at the beginning of the game, most of the main players on both sides temporarily went to the bench to rest, and Maddie of the Rockets also went to rest, basically leaving the benches of both sides to play this game.

In this quarter, the Suns' Banks came on the court, and opposite him was the Rockets' backup point guard Brooks. Brooks is 1.82 meters tall, his speed is like lightning, and he is also a relatively famous speed man.

At the time of the draft, the Rockets thought Brooks should be just a proof that they didn't succeed in this year's draft, but the small man's point guard performance quickly surprised them. Brooks averaged 21 points per game in the Rockets' Summer League and became one of the brightest of all the rookies in the Summer League, and the Rockets felt that the arrival of this small point guard seemed to be able to make some difference.

However, when Brooks really integrated into the Rockets' offensive system, they realized that this guy and the point guard are two different things! In addition to the basket or the basket in his eyes, his ** is not only offensive but also offensive. Such a player is too tall at the point guard position, but it seems a little nondescript at the point guard position, so the Rockets temporarily let him be a point guard when Maddy is away, and let him play the scoring position when Maddy is on the floor, giving Maddy the task of organizing the offense to Maddie.

However, Brooks is more categorical about his identity as a point guard: "Dual-guard? I don't think I'm one of them, because I think the two-way guard is a kind of confusion about the guard position, and the point guard has to pass the ball and pass the ball well, not think about how to put the basketball in his own way into the basket! Brooks' exuberant words soon ushered in a mass vomiting of blood from some people.

Brooks's play has added a firepower point to the Rockets, Scola on the inside, Brooks on the outside, they can take on a lot of offensive tasks for the Rockets, but Brooks's defense is too scummy, which makes the Rockets feel a faint pain in their crotch, well, it is commonly known as egg pain. Even a player like Banksy also got 6 points and 2 assists on Brooks's head, and his eyes became more and more gentle, and he seemed to regard Brooks in front of him as a good partner of his own.

In the interior position, the Suns' Dio on the court did not live up to the Suns' trust in him and started hand-to-hand combat with Scola. However, the Rockets have already hoarded several Hollywood reserve actors even without Martin's arrival, and they fell exaggeratedly and dusty in the midst of all kinds of screams, so a foul was in hand.

Dio was made angry by Scola, but he couldn't return it to Scola, because Scola was born in the international championship after all, and the tournament has stricter requirements for handling fouls, and it is a foul if you are not careful, so the players who have been tempered in the international league are more able to control their movements, and Ginobili is the best example of this.

Scola is the same, so Dio basically can't make fouls on him, and he was deceived by a few. Therefore, the Rockets echoed each other inside and outside, with acting skills on the inside and shooting on the outside, and the second quarter turned into a rather exciting dislocation battle for a while.

That didn't change until the end of the second quarter, when the Suns' lead was eroded and replaced with the Rockets' lead, which trailed the Rockets by four points.

Zhang Chen did not follow everyone to study the acting skills of a group of people in the Rocket team in the game just now, but carefully observed Brooks's breakthrough, this guy's speed is quite fast, often starting suddenly when others don't notice, and then rushing into the interior at a speed that others don't have time to react to. Then score a layup, this offensive method is more unexpected, but it is quite instructive.

Brooks is an unusually good speed player, his speed evaluation can reach about the middle level of the ninth level, such a player is easier to break through than others, plus he is a playmaker after all, and his ball control skills are not bragging, these two things combine to become his better breakthrough.

However, Brooks also has a fatal weakness is his height, although his height of 1.82 meters can be used to kill the inside line with speed, but in the end, he is likely to be covered by the inside line, so that he will be useless and will be bored and make a mess. However, Zhang Chen is different, if he has Brooks' breakthrough and ball handling skills, and has his speed, his height is not a problem, and his brilliant shooting can also help him defuse the crisis, so he can score easily in that situation.

However, there are still a lot of limitations in all this, the first limit is his speed, of course, the speed problem is not to worry about, he has already reached the eighth level of speed, and in about twenty days, he will be able to really enter the hall and reach the legendary god-level speed: level nine. The second limitation is Zhang Chen's ball control skills, his basic skills in ball control are relatively solid, and the players who came out of China are basically solid in basic skills, even Yao Ming, who is two meters 26, can control the ball by himself for half the court, and can pull to the top of the three-point line arc to shoot three points. However, after coming to the NBA, Zhang Chen's ball control was still insufficient. The third limitation is Zhang Chendi's breakthrough technology, his current breakthrough only relies on his invincible speed and the time difference to grasp it, and the real breakthrough technology is actually quite poor.

If Zhang Chen can solve these problems, then his breakthrough can even surpass his shooting and become his real scoring weapon.

In Zhang Chendi's thoughts, the second quarter of the game almost came to an end, the first half of the game ended, the final score of the two sides was 53:50, the Suns still fell behind by three points in the end, and today's Rockets' Maddy's shooting rate is also quite good, he now scores 16 points, remembering that he scored the 42 points on the Celtics' head in the last game, people feel that today's Maddy may be going crazy again.

The second half of the game was officially carried out in anticipation, Zhang Chen still played the first quarter of the game as usual, the second quarter of the game was rested, and the third quarter of the game depended on the situation.

When Zhang Chen came on the court, several main players of the Suns also came on the court, and the two sides became a big battle similar to the first quarter, and it was still Battier who defended Zhang Chen. Battier is determined to wash away his shame, and he is really angry with Zhang Chendi, but he has never been able to really subdue Zhang Chen. Therefore, now Battier is more attentive to Zhang Chen's defense, and his body is almost attached to Zhang Chen. Perhaps it was Battier's defense that played a big role, and Zhang Chen's first shot was interfered with by Battier and finally deflected off the basket.

Fortunately, the rebound was snatched by Xiao Si, and then he hit a slam dunk to help the Suns score two points.

The ball was back in the hands of the Rockets, and at this time their point guard was once again Alston, and the street ball king showed off his dribbling skills in front of Nash, and it was really a golden snake dancing wildly, and the afterimages were flying.

Alston then broke through to the inside, but he was ultimately unable to do so under the defense of Smalls, so he had to step back and suddenly pass the basketball to Battier. Battier faced Zhang Chen this time, knowing that this guy's defense was actually quite bad, so he didn't hesitate to start jumping shots, however, when he jumped up, Zhang Chen, who was useless in his eyes and full of holes, suddenly rushed to him, stretched out his right hand and smashed it towards his basketball.

Battier panicked in the center of the sky, his ball didn't jump too high because it was a jumper, just decent, although Zhang Chen didn't bounce well, but it wasn't too much worse than Battier, and with his long arms, he soon posed a serious threat to Battier.

At the crucial moment, Battier made a move that made him feel ashamed afterwards: he twisted his body awkwardly and fell back into the back before he began to shoot. The basketball turned into an air balloon when he had nowhere to borrow in the air, and one of his rather bizarre and rather difficult backs became a joke. The worst thing was that he fell back to the back, hitting the rebound the back, grinning in pain.

The team doctor of the rocket team hurriedly rushed up to show Battier, but when Battier saw the team doctor, he immediately felt that his wound had disappeared, but he felt that his thighs trembled when he saw the team doctor, and his soul was scattered, and he hurriedly struggled to get up and said that he was fine. However, his limping appearance still revealed his true state at the moment, so the coach replaced him. In fact, Battier's injury was not serious at all, but he played almost full in the first half, so the physical wear was quite serious, and he took this opportunity to rest.

This time, the person who defended Zhang Chen quickly changed, and the Rocket team asked Hai Ye to go up to replace Battier, Hai Ye originally wanted to come over to defend Zhang Chen, but at this time his good friend Maddy stopped him, and then said I come.

Then, Zhang Chen found that the person opposite him had become Maddie.

Zhang Chen originally liked Maddie more, but now Maddie was standing in front of him and facing him, which made him feel a little excited in his heart. Maddie said with a smirk: "I'll meet you, your shooting is excellent!" ”

"I know ......"

"Hey, you're not the same as Yao...... He's so much more humble than you. ”

"This ...... My shooting was already excellent! ”

The two of them said a few words briefly, and then immediately began to really align themselves, Zhang Chen knew that his defensive skills were a few pounds and a few taels, but he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, because he could cause a little trouble to the opponent's attack, even if it was a little bit, it was necessary to do. In particular, the man he is standing with now is one of the best attackers in the league right now, and he has to give it his all to fight as hard as he can, which is not only a seriousness, but also a sign of respect for Maddie.

Maddie started to catch the ball from the baseline and then controlled it all the way, he quickly came to Zhang Chendi, and then used a crotch dribble to avoid Zhang Chen's feint right hand, while speaking more leisurely: "I'm going to start." ”

"Come on......" Zhang Chen originally wanted to say something ruthless, but after thinking about it, if he was ruthless in defense, he would basically be slapping himself in the mouth, or that sentence, he knew that his defensive skills were a few pounds and a few taels.

“well”！ Maddie popped out of his mouth with a word, and then his next step was to use a cross-step dribble, which made Zhang Chen feel a little dazzled, and then Maddie struck while the iron was hot, and shook the basketball to the left, and the person quickly dodged a phantom, pulled the basketball to his right, and stabbed it into the inside. Zhang Chen originally felt that he had to try his best to defend, which might cause some trouble to Maddie, but depending on the situation, the trouble he could cause to Maddie was really limited.

Maddie's speed instantly soared to the highest, and soon came to a place not far from the basket, at this time Zhang Chen just reacted and wanted to chase the defense, but it was too late, and the defense line in front of Maddy was only the last of the Suns' interior players.

After all, now that there are more and more injuries on her body, Maddie doesn't want to play those games anymore, but uses a fairly stable throw to make the basketball fly into the basket.

"Beautiful!" The crowd cheered enthusiastically for their scoring champion and MVP, and the Rockets Toyota Center was filled with all sorts of cheers. Others began to sing the song of Maddie, and their voices were loud until the sky.

Maddie scored a successful goal, turned his head and raised his eyebrows with Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen frowned slightly, he didn't expect Maddie to be so easy to pass himself.

Just that ball, Maddie went from starting, cross-stepping, and all kinds of shaking to directly inserting the inside line and then stopping and throwing, the whole process was done in one go, and it felt very coherent. Zhang Chen had already secretly cheered for him in his heart.

It's getting more and more interesting!
