As the game continued in the third quarter, Zhang Chen stayed on the bench until the final six minutes of the game and then hit a three-pointer throughout the fourth quarter to take his score to 16.

Zhang Chen had little to do with the game in the fourth quarter, because Xiao Si and Nash had already begun to rampage, and they used their cooperation again and again to make the Suns finally play their familiar offense in the fourth quarter. Nash and Smalls teamed up for 25 points in the quarter to give the team the win.

The final score was fixed at 112-107, and the Suns defended their dignity as the leader of the West by five points, and the Hornets had to stay in the second place for a while.

In this game, Zhang Chen finally failed to continue his magical performance because of some physical problems, feel and fatigue problems, and his shooting rate in this game also fell to 46%, but his three-point shooting rate is still 60%, and three-point shooting has always been his most stable scoring method.

After leaving New Orleans, the hurricane-driven spot, Zhang Chen and his team immediately headed to Salt Lake City, where they played back-to-back games.

Zhang Chen also suffered some hardships in this game, and his physical strength really reached a critical value. The continuous high-intensity plays, and back-to-back away games, made his shooting hands a little shaky.

In the first quarter of the game, Zhang Chen came on the court in the last four minutes, and then he shot three shots, one missed, and the Jazz also took the lead in the first quarter.

De Xiaopang's initiative was quite stable, and a large part of the Jazz's lead in the first quarter was due to him. In the second half of the second quarter, Zhang Chen came on the court again, this time he finally hit a three-pointer, but then missed two in a row. Today his shooting percentage turned out to be 1 in 6 shots! He has already set his personal record for the lowest shooting percentage of the season.

Naturally, although most of the Suns players are old fritters, they are inevitably affected by some physical strength, and they also fell behind their opponents in the second quarter.

There is still a lot of reason for Zhang Chen's abnormal performance, after Grant left, his average playing time in these games was close to 30 minutes, which was a high drain on his physical strength. What's more, I've been playing away games for the past few days, and there is another game that has been played for two days in a row.

In these circumstances, Zhang Chen's shooting percentage stunned the Suns players, and they didn't expect Zhang Chen to have such a low shooting percentage.

However, no one said about him, after all, Zhang Chen is still a rookie, and he doesn't know how to maintain physical strength and allocate energy, which is understandable. Therefore, D'Antoni still let Zhang Chen play in the third quarter, and they need Zhang Chen to show his sword again and find his feelings.

After all, Zhang Chen is already a figure of shooting level eight, and after five iron ball adjustments, his hand began to gradually recover, and he hit two three-pointers in the entire third quarter, allowing his score to rise to 9 points. Hit a two-point in the crucial tiebreaker and the game was over.

The Jazz still won in the end, and the Suns suffered quite a lot in terms of fitness, so it was understandable to lose this game. Zhang Chen scored a total of 11 points in the whole game, which is very inconsistent with his level.

There wasn't much time for them to sigh about, and they left Salt Lake City immediately after the game and flew to the icy Canada to take on the Raptors in Toronto.

What was surprising was that the Suns lost the game again, losing to the opponent by seven points, which was not expected by the bricks who predicted before the game.

In this game, Zhang Chendi's hand recovered, and he scored 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting. This score is barely passable for him, and those who question him, although still questioning, also know that this guy's touch seems to be starting to recover.

The Suns' loss is more of a reason for the opposite, they have been on a winning streak these days, like a taut string, and there is a lot of pressure. After a loss, this pressure disappeared in an instant, but at the same time, their morale dropped to a very low level, coupled with their consecutive away games these days have brought their physical and mental strength to a low point, so the defeat in this game is also reasonable.

Despite losing two games, the Suns still sit in the first place in the West, and the Hornets are several wins behind them in the second place in the West, and the Suns also have the best record in the league. Nash is also at the top of the MVP list, and although his average of 19 points and 11 assists per game is a little worse than Paul's 22+11, their record is ahead of the Hornets.

――――

It was a bit dull on the plane, and after a few rather exhausting games, everyone was a little sluggish, but anyway, they finally got to the end of the road trip.

Zhang Chen also lay on the plane in a daze, and he didn't wake up until the plane was about to return to Phoenix. Rubbing his eyes, Zhang Chen found that Xiao Si and the others had also gotten up and were talking about the mountains, and it could be seen that after a sleep, their mental state was much better.

"It's finally the end of the damn away game! What a disgusting schedule! Xiao Si said with a hateful face, and this sentence ushered in a consistent voice.

The next time they returned to Phoenix, the sky was high and the birds were flying, and their mood was also very relaxed. Although Zhang Chen woke up, he felt that he was still a little tired, so he closed his eyes and lay down, while listening to Xiao Si's talk.

"Hey, have you seen the latest exciting news? It's a matter of a player and a singer teaming up to fight, and there is also our male protagonist among them! Bell smiled mysteriously, and was appreciating the appetite of the people next to him.

Unfortunately, his plan failed, because everyone spoke of contempt for him.

"We already knew that it was Zhang Chen and Avril's matter. To be honest, I also want to know how this happened and what is the relationship between Tatsu and Avril. Dio also joined the battle group with an excited face.

Zhang Chen was speechless when he heard it, he didn't expect a group of people with an average height of almost more than two meters to be so keen on gossip. To his surprise, Nash was clearly excited to discuss with them what might happen to him.

Listening to everyone discussing Zhang Chen's gossip, Xiao Si's face was full of pretending to be forced. Everyone finally noticed the strangeness of this guy, you must know that this guy is one of the gossip forces of the Suns, and he didn't say a word today, could it be that this guy has changed his surname?

Or did Nash understand Xiao Si: "Hey, Amare, I guess you know something?" ”

――――
