The Suns opened with a domineering slam dunk that shocked everyone on the Knicks. Then, their offense and defense worked harder, but the Knicks in the 07-08 season had an indescribable decadence, and the offense and defense were not very disciplined.

After meeting again and again, the Suns gradually gained some devastating momentum.

"Today's game was really beautiful!" In the press gallery, a reporter was holding his own camera and was constantly taking pictures, and the offense of both teams was full of fire today, so they felt a feast for the eyes of these guys who watched it up close.

"Yes, it was a really beautiful game today, but unfortunately our protagonist never played." A reporter next to him took a picture and said to the guy.

"Yes! We're looking forward to the Suns' rookies to surprise us. ”

"Hey, hey."

――――

While the reporters were leisurely chatting and taking pictures, the first quarter was at the last minute, and there was still a minute and two seconds left.

The score was 27-21, and the Suns led their opponents by a total of six points.

That lead was only within a minute in the first quarter, and today the Knicks suffered a bit from the Suns' fluid offense.

"What's going on? What happened to Grant? The commentator in the live broadcast room looked at Grant Hill, who was holding his ankle on the basketball court and his face was full of pain, and asked anxiously.

Just now, Grant stepped on the Knicks' ankle during an offense, and then he fell to the ground holding his ankle.

The cameras surrounded one after another, and the audience's eyes also caught up.

If veteran Grant is injured at this time, it will be a big loss for the Suns.

Grant's injury touched the hearts of many people, and people gathered around him. Zhang Chen also stood up and stood on tiptoe to look at the situation inside the basketball court.

D'Antoni and the others were anxiously waiting for the answer from the team doctor.

Finally, the people on the field gradually dispersed, and then Grant, with the support of the team doctor, walked step by step to the players' tunnel. In the final moments of leaving, he turned his head and gave D'Antoni an apologetic look.

D'Antoni nodded at him.

――――

Grant suffered a severe sprained ankle and is conservatively estimated to take about two weeks to recover.

After hearing the team doctor's reply, Nash and the others were relieved that they could still survive for two weeks. Besides, now that Barbossa is performing well in the Suns, and there is a stable mobile battery Zhang Chen, they don't have to worry too much.

"Chen, you play...... Play as a shooting guard, remember, shoot when you have the chance, don't hesitate. ”

D'Antoni said to Zhang Chen.

Although Grant's departure is a bit less powerful for the Suns, for Zhang Chen, his playing time can be more because of this.

Now D'Antoni has a lot fewer people available in the position of the swingman, so it is natural to notice Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen has a consistent shot and can contribute more to the Suns, and, for Zhang Chen himself, more playing time means more shots and more points. He might be able to dispel the rumors that his scoring is a far cry from Durant.

However, Zhang Chen's physical strength problem may also become prominent because of this.

After Grant leaves, Zhang Chen's playing time will obviously become more and more, so Zhang Chen's physical strength will have some problems.

――――

No matter what happens in the future, Zhang Chen still stepped on the court, and now he thinks about the current thing first. Anyway, after training day after day, Zhang Chen's physical strength is also increasing day by day.

The game restarted, and with the final minute and two seconds left at the end of the first quarter, it was the Knicks who had the ball.

Their point guard was Marbury for the time being, and after a breakaway, the Lone Wolves broke into the Suns' interior and hit a layup to close the gap between the two teams.

The man who defended Zhang Chen was Marty Collins.

This guy is relatively silent, which makes Zhang Chen, who is used to fighting trash talk with his opponents, a little uncomfortable for a while. However, he calmed himself down as soon as possible, and this was his first appearance in the first quarter of the NBA regular season, and it is self-evident that his surname is important.

The Suns' possession, after a few shifts, was shot by Smalls on the inside and scored two points.

The game continued, and by the end of the first quarter, both teams were shooting highly, Collins silently hit a mid-range shot, and the ball was back in the hands of the Suns.

Eleven seconds remaining.

The basketball was hoisted to Marion on the inside, and Marion was also a mid-range jumper after pulling away.

"Bang!"

The basketball bounced high on the basket, and after crossing a strange arc, it happened to be grabbed by Zhang Chen, who was just about to rush into the inside line and pretend to grab a rebound.

Just hugged the basketball, and several people immediately came up to the Knicks to take out the basketball in Zhang Chen's hand. Zhang Chen deflected his hands away and let them go.

The few people in front of him had already pounced on the air, and there were three seconds left in the time.

As soon as he let go of those people's groping hands, Zhang Chen ignored them, and directly jumped at seventeen feet.

"Huh!" The basketball fell steadily into the basket, and Zhang Chen hit the whistle ball in the first quarter.

The red light came on, accompanied by a heavy chime.

At 31:23, the first quarter of the game ended, and the Suns led their opponents by seven points into the second quarter.

"Hey! Well done, keep up the good work. ”

D'Antoni encouraged the player, then came to Zhang Chen's side and said, "Chen, I think you also saw that our Grant is injured. ”

"Yes, I saw it."

"Well, you should know how our team is going, you need more minutes and more shots for the next two weeks to help us win...... No problem. ”

Zhang Chen naturally had no reason to refuse such a request, and as for his physical strength, he thought that it should be gradually solved.

"No problem."

"Okay, come on! The second quarter of the game needs you to participate, and you don't hesitate to shoot whenever you have the opportunity, and that's what I ask of you. ”

"Well, I see!"

The break passed quickly, and the second quarter of the game was about to begin.

Zhang Chen stepped on the basketball court again.
