Taylor walked into Zhang Chen's bedroom, she spent a difficult night here last night, in fact, Zhang Chen was not the only one who suffered from insomnia last night, Taylor was lying on Zhang Chen's bed last night, and he barely fell asleep after a long time. Many things linger in her mind, the long night is long, the traffic outside the window seems to be a prosperous dream, gently open the curtains, as far as the eye can see, all the high-rise buildings built by human beings for themselves, the lights are brilliant.

As a result, the vastness of the past is in full view in her eyes.

She clearly knew that Zhang Chen didn't want to be responsible, but she didn't know how she should be responsible at all, and there was no way to explain some things clearly, and she herself was struggling with many ideas, not knowing what method to use to deal with this matter.

Zhang Chen's bedroom is clean and tidy, which is very different from the dress of an ordinary man's room, Zhang Chen lives in a quiet place.

Walking back into the living room, Taylor saw Zhang Chen sitting on the sofa, not knowing what he was thinking, at this time the doorbell suddenly rang, Zhang Chen walked over to open the door, and he could see that he was tiptoeing, as if he was not in his own house, but just a thief who came in. When he opened the door, there was a courier standing outside, Zhang Chen signed the item from his hand, and when he opened it, he saw that it was Taylor's clothes.

Taylor walked over and took the clothes into Zhang Chen's room, and after a while she walked out again, with a new color all over her body, she was wearing a white dress with specially tailored thermal underwear, which could ensure her body temperature, and a pair of black stockings underneath. Taylor changed into this outfit, came to Zhang Chen, and said, "Chen, then I'll go first." ”

Zhang Chen nodded numbly, and after a while, he quickly reacted and said, "I'll send you, I'll send you." ”

Taylor didn't say anything as a tacit acquiescence, Zhang Chen hurriedly pushed open the door, walked out of his house, opened the car door and got in. Taylor also sat next to Zhang Chen from the other direction, the two of them were silent for a while, Zhang Chen drove away silently, and then asked Taylor's address.

The car drove forward, and Zhang Chen kept Taylor to her door, and then he said one last time: "I'm sorry......"

"Take ......it easy," Taylor smiled at him, then waved his hand and walked into his house, Zhang Chen's heart also followed her departure, as if a boulder had fallen to the ground, but there was an extra feeling that something was being pulled away. Shaking his head, he smiled bitterly and took all his thoughts back into his mind, originally wanted to go back to his residence first, but he thought about it and was going to go to the stadium first, after all, he hadn't explained it to everyone so far.

When he came to the arena, Zhang Chen first saw David Li who was practicing, this guy was still practicing Zhang Chen's footsteps, trying to use Zhang Chen's footsteps to push the basketball in his hand, and finally be able to shoot and hit. What he did already had a certain amount of heat, and Zhang Chen retracted his gaze after a slight glance.

However, David Lee did not intend to let him go, but said loudly: "Hey, Chen! It's amazing why you're here now! Usually you have to come first every day. ”

David Lee's voice quickly attracted the attention of everyone around him, and they all turned their eyes and looked at Zhang Chen's eyes full of ill intentions.

Randolph, in particular, was already starting to rebel against the people below: "Hey, Daniro, do you see? In the case that Avril is not in this city, Zhang Chen got up so late today, and it doesn't look like his face is very good, I think the reason for this can be imagined! ”

"Quite possibly," said Gallinari, "in my experience, Tatsu's appearance now, especially after a night of absurdity, if you look at his earlobes, there is a kind of black air on them. ”

"Really?" Randolph looked at Zhang Chen's earlobe strangely, then turned his head and hammered Gallinari's head: "You dead rookie dare to lie to me!" ”

…… D'Antoni walked out of the crowd and came to Zhang Chen, and then asked with some surprise, "Chen, why are you so late today?" I remember you came early every morning, what was going on today? ”

Zhang Chen now felt that talking to other people was a kind of annoyance, so he wanted to end this unnutritious conversation as soon as possible, so he laughed dryly: "Sorry, I had a headache this morning, so I couldn't get up early." ”

D'Antoni nodded, he naturally knew that Zhang Chen was not the kind of player who thought about being lazy like Eddie Curry all the time, and he naturally didn't come for his own reasons. So he nodded, and then prepared to let Zhang Chen return to the team, but unfortunately Randolph didn't plan to let Zhang Chen go like this, of course, he didn't want the team to punish Zhang Chen, he just wanted to play around like this, after all, the relationship between him and Zhang Chen has improved a lot.

That's why Randolph said, "Haha! I guess Tatsumi was doing something bad to tell us last night! I bet it's definitely not what he says it is. ”

As soon as he said this, Zhang Chen glanced at him fiercely, and the fierceness in his eyes turned out to be a little sneering and Randolph didn't dare to speak. Then Zhang Chen said a little weakly: "Boss, then I'll go to train first." ”

"Okay!" D'Antoni nodded, and then asked Zhang Chen to return to the team, and then he came to the front of everyone, and said that today's intra-team match will start soon.

The Knicks' most recent game was at home tomorrow night against the New Orleans Hornets, so today's intra-team game is not just about finding the shortcomings of each individual, but also finding the weaknesses of the team's overall offensive or defensive tactics and improving them. At the same time, after this kind of training, you can also increase your familiarity with tactics, in short, this is a kind of perfect thing.

Zhang Chen was lucky to have just arrived in an intra-team match, and after a little preparation, he put on the team's black vest and walked onto the court. The people who were on the first team with Zhang Chen were mainly Gallinari and David Lee, and the main player on the opposing side was Wilson. Chandler, Randolph and Dujon, this lineup distribution is reasonable, D'Antoni next to him with a whistle in his mouth to act as a referee for everyone, after the whistle, Zhang Chen and their team serve first.

Zhang Chen personally controlled the ball, but everyone could see that Zhang Chen seemed to be a little different today, and people could feel a dangerous aura of choosing people and devouring the ground from him, which made Wilson. Chandler was a little furious, and he took a step back, because he always felt that Zhang Chen's ball was going to be hard.

Gallinari came to Zhang Chen's side very accustomed to helping him block Chandler's defense, Zhang Chen took advantage of such a short opportunity, and suddenly accelerated his footsteps immediately, so that the speed was increased to the peak, and his legs transmitted the power from the earth to his speed, and suddenly, Zhang Chen's body was like an arrow from the string, moving forward without stopping.

Wilson. Chandler saw that Zhang Chen's speed had increased to its peak, and there was a Gallinari next to him, and he knew that it was impossible to do it, so he took a step back rationally and waited for Zhang Chen's further movements.

Zhang Chen's speed soared to the end, and the sound of the wind in his ears kept passing, as if he was riding the wind and waves, smashing the Yellow Dragon, and directly came to the depth of the inner line.

"Roar~!" Randolph hurriedly came up to block Zhang Chen, at this time after all, it was just an intra-team confrontation, everyone was up to the point, but it seemed that Zhang Chen today had a chilling anger, his body was like a cannonball out of the air in the sky, and Randolph slammed together, and then the force of the collision between the two people in the sky completely exploded, and Randolph, the big fat man, was actually rushed back, and he almost stood unsteady on the ground.

"Bang!" Zhang Chen's basketball was directly inserted into the basket after a long flight under Zhang Chen's right hand press, this slam dunk was not beautiful, but the indomitable momentum of the opponent mobilized the blood in everyone's hearts, and suddenly, the cheers filled the entire arena.

Zhang Chen fell to the ground and pounded his chest and roared. Usually Zhang Chen rarely makes such a celebration, but he actually made it in the intra-team competition, which made everyone stunned, and the most important thing is that there was a kind of hysteria in Zhang Chen's voice.

This roar really made many people feel stunned, Zhang Chen, who has always been gentle and quiet, was able to have such a big weight when he broke out hysterically, so after cheering, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Chen's body, which contained various breaths of incomprehension, questions and so on. When this roar came out, Zhang Chen didn't look at Randolph or ignore everyone's stunnedness, but ran across the half court to participate in the defense. Randolph scratched his head: "Hey, Mr. Backdoor, I know you have a lot of strength, but you don't have to show it in front of me all the time, do you?" ”

Zhang Chen didn't speak, but retreated to defend himself.

The opponent's offense, the basketball in Duhon's hand passed to Wilson. In Chandler's hands, Chandler began to use all the ways he could think of in front of Zhang Chen, but unfortunately, Zhang Chen's center of gravity was still unmoving, tightly entangled with the ground. In this way, Chandler exhausted his mind and couldn't break through Zhang Chen's defense, because Zhang Chen's defensive skills and his defensive footsteps helped him defend Chandler tightly, and there was no gap at all.

"Hey, Tatsu, it's just an intra-team match...... Are you so serious? Chandler spoke out with some annoyance.

"yes, it's just a match...... Why did I sow the nameless fire in my heart on this? Zhang Chen thought so in his heart, and finally put Chandler in a gap at his feet, and Chandler took the opportunity to enter the interior line, and finally scored a stop-and-go jump shot.

Zhang Chen suddenly felt as if he had been drained of strength, and the next game was just a taste of chewing wax, and it could be seen that Zhang Chen was a little out of shape today.

After the game, D'Antoni came to ask Zhang Chen what happened, and Zhang Chen tried his best to dress up like a nobody: "It's okay! I'm so good! ”

D'Antoni was a little annoyed: "Don't you know that I know you very well?" Are you okay? Don't lie to me, talk to me, maybe I have a solution. ”

Zhang Chen shook his head: "Boss, you think too much, it's really okay." ”

D'Antoni glared at him: "I don't want to say it, I hope you don't affect tomorrow's game." ”

"I see." Zhang Chen nodded, then picked up his clothes and walked out of the team's training hall, he didn't practice today, which also made David Li complain, but seeing that Zhang Chen seemed to have made up his mind, he didn't speak, and went to practice honestly by himself. Zhang Chen walked out of the stadium, but did not go home immediately, but drove his own car to the beach.

The team finished training not too late, Zhang Chen has been driving to the beach, when it happened to be dusk, the sky is gorgeous sunset and the sea are connected, sparkling, the golden sunset slowly shines in the reflection of the sea, projected into the human retina becomes a dazzling blur.

A gust of cold wind blew, Zhang Chen hugged his chest, the cold wind also blew the sea shivering, and the gorgeous sunset floated in the evening sun, which looked very beautiful.

Zhang Chen looked at the waves of the sea that shattered the sun, but he didn't have the slightest intention of appreciating this kind of scenery, the distance of the sea was full of the blankness of the sea and the sky, as if the vast past that hit his heart.

The shadows of the two people constantly overlapped and entangled in his heart, and this feeling made him almost crazy. The sea breeze tore at his hair, making his head seem groggy and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long time, Zhang Chen still retracted his thoughts, put his hands in his pockets, opened the car door and drove away.

When Zhang Chen was deep on the beach, Taylor also held his right hand on his cheek to face the gorgeous sunset, her eyes looked into the distance, she pushed off all her work, and stayed in her own home, sitting in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, opening the window to look at the beauty in the distance.

From knowing Zhang Chen, to later Zhang Chen didn't know when she was uninvited in her heart, struggling and wandering in her mind, and finally these memories were all frozen in the madness of the two people in the car last night. That heart-rending hearty heartbreak still makes her heart palpitate, but there is also a faint hope.

In Taylor's ramblings, time slowly began to flow, the sun took one last look at the world, and then slowly and completely swallowed up by the distant horizon. Then Taylor picked up the phone a little flustered, and suddenly put it back on the table as if she had thought of something, but she picked it up again after a while, and finally couldn't find a reason to speak, so she had to put the phone down again.

It's said that there is a Knicks game tomorrow night, so let's go check it out first! Taylor gets his mood in order and then asks the chef to prepare dinner for himself.

Speaking of which, tomorrow's game is still quite important for the Knicks, because they have lost two in a row on the road, and if they don't rise again, they will face the threat of three consecutive defeats, and in order to prevent that from happening, in order to regain the top of the rankings, the Knicks must also find their rhythm and destroy tomorrow's opponents.

Tomorrow's game is the Knicks vs. the New Orleans Hornets, which is a team that has a lot of roots with Zhang Chen, at least Paul likes Zhang Chen very much, and he has also expressed his regret on different occasions that his team was unable to chase Zhang Chen. And the Hornets are a quasi-strong team this season, saying that they are a quasi-strong team means that their level this season has dropped significantly, and the team that rode the dust in the West last season has long been incomparable, but they still can't become a team that everyone can see, because their strength is still there.

Since the beginning of this season, compared with last season, there is no doubt that the level of the Hornets has dropped significantly, they are now the tiger in Pingyang, the dragon swims in shallow water, but this is not something that everyone can touch, after all, it is not easy for them to maintain the sixth place in the west of the Beacon Princes, and although the Hornets' record has declined, their star Paul has not regressed, on the contrary, he is playing better and better, This season, his statistics are 22.1 points, 11.2 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game, and the assist king + steal king also makes him shocking.

If the queen bee does not die, the Hornets will not die, even if the current record is somewhat unsatisfactory compared with last season, but they are still a tiger, the Knicks want to regain their ranking, they must also climb this mountain, otherwise it is estimated that they will be pulled farther and farther away by the 76ers in front, originally these two teams were not a few wins behind, after the Knicks' two consecutive defeats, the 76ers suddenly rose up and rushed to the front of the Knicks.

This is a win-and-no defeat, that's what D'Antoni said, and everyone thinks so, and after two frustrating defeats in a row, they are desperate to find a new opportunity to win the game. At the same time, it also allows the morale of the Knicks to be improved in victory.

The game was played in the evening, Zhang Chen did not find the arrival of Taylor, he is now warming up, he did not waste his excess physical strength on the warm-up, but he was practicing the three-point shot alone, the basketball was beautifully hollowed into the net again and again, making a crisp sound of rubbing against the net, Zhang Chen retracted his hands again, took down the basketball in the rack again, and started a new shot.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Huh!" This kind of piercing the net seemed to be in full swing in the Knicks' warm-up half, Zhang Chen's three-point shooting rate and the beauty of his three-point shots made people jaw-dropping, and this warm-up even became a performance by Zhang Chen. And Zhang Chen's shooting performance is not only effective when no one is defending, his shooting effectiveness is more reflected in actual combat, opponents are often discouraged in front of his three-point rain, and there is no way to defend.

Paul was warming up there, but when he heard the cheers of the audience, he turned around and saw Zhang Chen's unforgettable shooting move, his movements were as beautiful as a dancer, and the basketball was also respectful in his hands, and he entered the basket quite resolutely.

Paul smiled slightly, and then walked towards Zhang Chen, in fact, he was still a little "thief-hearted" to Zhang Chen.
