Zhang Chen and Salmens are close to the three-point line, Zhang Chen is now dribbling at high speed, ready to charge inside, and Salmens is defending Zhang Chen's side - he has not been able to fully catch up with Zhang Chen.

Such a slight time difference created space for Zhang Chen to attack, he took a big step forward with his left foot in an instant, and then moved his body forward, then picked up the basketball, kicked his right foot on the ground hard, and his body rose into the air.

If nothing else, this will be a relatively standard three-step layup.

However, Salmens was much faster than Zhang Chen, and his defensive experience was also quite strong, so he took a step forward and almost blocked in front of Zhang Chendi.

Seeing that there was no chance to make a layup, Zhang Chendi kicked up with his left leg, and then his left leg quickly received his chest, and his shooting posture changed to riding and archery.

This series of actions happened in an instant, and when the lightning was shining, Zhang Chen had completed all the steps and completed the response to various emergencies.

Zhang Chendi's reaction speed is quite good, which is also the most outstanding of his relatively mediocre talents.

However, Zhang Chen experienced the feeling of speed in this attack. If there was no speed practice for this day, it is estimated that Salmens would have been able to completely catch up with Zhang Chen just now and prevent him from continuing to attack.

Although his speed increase was still minimal, he had already experienced the difference that this subtle improvement had brought to his technical body.

"Huh!" Zhang Chen, who shoots at level 10, is of course familiar with such shots, and the basketball flies into the basket lightly. Zhang Chen also scored two points in this fast attack.

The Suns' fast-break whirlwind has always been a relatively beautiful scenery in the league, and as an important member of the team, Zhang Chen has not directly participated in the fast-break many times.

It's the first time that someone has defended and scored a goal like today!

From today onwards, Zhang Chen is going to gradually get rid of the accusation of that soft egg, in the previous few months, although Zhang Chen scored well and shot well. But because his offense is basically made up of shots, he has also been accused by many of him as a soft egg, and from today, he will slowly get rid of that title.

“ho，ho！” When the audience saw a fast breakthrough of Zhang Chendi, they all felt that it was worth the trip, and they also began to cheer.

---At the end, Zhang Chen came off the court with a twelve-point data sheet, and he rarely played the entire first quarter. When he returned to the bench and high-fived the people on the bench one by one, when Zhang Chen turned his head, he saw Hill sitting next to him.

Hill is still on a crutch, and now the crutches are still by his side, and the veteran's face has a somewhat painful look, watching his teammates fight hard but they can only sit on the sidelines as spectators, even if they don't experience it themselves, everyone can understand.

"Chen, you played well just now, and I think sometimes you can try to do some breakthrough attacks." Hill greeted Zhang Chen when he saw him turn his head.

Zhang Chen rolled his eyes, the offense in terms of breakthrough is not so easy to practice, especially for a guy with poor physical fitness like him.

"I'll try." Zhang Chen said.

――――In the next second quarter, Zhang Chen basically spent it on the bench, and although he played a full attendance in the first quarter, his physical consumption was also quite terrifying.

Being able to play the whole first quarter, that training session in the morning also helped a little.

These days, he has been insisting on physical exercise every day, and after the accumulation of so many physical exercises, his body has also reached a critical point, that is, the critical point where physical fitness may be able to make some breakthroughs.

However, due to talent and muscle fatigue and other reasons, Zhang Chen's breakthrough has not come for a long time.

And in the morning, after practicing the training method that the first learning space gave him to improve his talent, Zhang Chen suddenly felt that his critical point had been broken!

The improvement of this talent is not limited to the transformation of Zhang Chen's speed quality, but also a kind of refining and improvement of the talent of various parts of his body.

Therefore, Zhang Chen's current physical condition can be compared with those three-fluid people in the NBA, and he can better cope with a game.

In the end, when there were four minutes left, Zhang Chen followed Nash, Xiao Si, the absolute main force to re-enter the court.

――――The lineups of the two teams have changed a little, and Zhang Chen found that the person opposite him has become Kevin. Martin.

The score between the two teams is currently 39-31, with the Suns leading by eight points.

Zhang Chen and Kevin. Martin's alignment immediately attracted a lot of attention, with the pair's technical style, height, and so on all strikingly similar.

This year has been Martin's best season, and he has averaged over 20 points per game so far.

And Zhang Chen's current average score per game is also getting closer to 17 points, and a large part of the gap between the two of them is the shooting percentage.

Zhang Chen's three-point shooting percentage and two-point shooting percentage are frighteningly high, making people dare not look directly, while Martin's is much inferior.

The two skinny and tall guys stood on the basketball court at the same time, and immediately ushered in some good-natured laughter. The two people are similar in height and body type, and under the traction of these two contents, people unconsciously begin to think that these two people are so similar even with the smiles on their faces.

"Hey, hello, I'm Kevin." Kevin Martin expressed his friendship to Zhang Chen, maybe he also saw such a person who was quite similar to his own technical style and so on, and felt that he had found an organization.

"Oh, hello, I'm Chen." Zhang Chen responded to his friendliness to a certain extent, but he did not have the consciousness of being an organization with Martin in his heart.

You must know that your speed will be faster and faster in the future, and after some time, your body will become stronger and stronger, and your skills will become better and better...... And Martin, bound by his body, is estimated to be a pitcher in this life.

The first ball was the Suns' possession, and Martin, who was wearing No. 23, immediately pressed towards Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen looked at his physical fitness and thought that it shouldn't be too difficult for him to get rid of him, but after he started to try, he suddenly found that although this guy's defense was terrible, he happened to be able to overcome himself.

Martin's other defensive abilities are very bad, thanks to his weak body, but his defense against Zhang Chen is just right, because Zhang Chen's body is not very good, and it is difficult to take advantage of Martin's poor health to score.

Other aspects are different, Martin's footwork is quite good, and his speed is also good, and he can always follow Zhang Chendi.

After going back and forth, such an offensive opportunity was also handed over to the inside team, Zhang Chen glanced at Martin with some depression: Wait until my speed breaks through and then I will clean you up.

The offense and defense switched, and there were three minutes and forty seconds left.

Martin also began to move flexibly, and similarly, Martin also found that Zhang Chen was always able to keep up with his own pace. Martin's footsteps Zhang Chen is naturally able to keep up perfectly, after all, he is an expert in running.

Martin tried a few times and found that he couldn't get rid of Zhang Chen, and at this time, the Kings made an offensive attempt, and the offensive rebound was caught by the Kings again.

Anyway, Martin thought to himself, and then asked for the ball inside and prepared to make a jumper.

Martin faced Zhang Chen and made a shooting feint, although Zhang Chen stopped his body at the last moment, but he was still deceived by him to lose some of his gravity.

Martin retracted the feint, and this time it was a real jumper.

Zhang Chendi's center of gravity was shaken to the ground, and he accidentally hit his right hand on Martin's hand.

"Bang~~" The basketball bounced out on the basket, and then the referee's whistle sounded at the right time.

"White Six, Foul Fighter." The referee was sitting, and Zhang Chen shrugged his shoulders towards Nash: This liar!

Zhang Chen shouldn't have been completely hit by Martin just now, but this thing put his shooting arm up at the last moment of shooting, which caused Zhang Chen to foul.

"Huh!" "Huh!" With two crisp free throws in a row, Martin has already scored two points.

"Hey, you liar." Zhang Chen said this to Martin in the past, but there was no angry expression on his face.

"That's a real foul." Martin didn't pay attention to Zhang Chen's words.

After a few ball transfers, the Suns now lead by eight points with 11 seconds left on the clock.

The Suns got the ball again, and after a few transitions, the basketball came to Zhang Chendi.

Martin quickly guarded in front of Zhang Chen, remembering Martin's footsteps, Zhang Chen shook his head, Martin was really similar to himself at some times.

However, after taking a look at his thin body, Zhang Chen suddenly had an idea of breaking through.

Martin defended Zhang Chen with open hands, and occasionally had a small sliding step on the ground, and he used this way to observe Zhang Chen's possible offensive direction and attack method at any time.

Zhang Chen made a fake move, faked a real sudden, and rushed into the inner line.

Martin didn't expect Zhang Chen to attack with a breakthrough, watching Zhang Chen break through with a flicker, Martin quickly found a way to crack the ground.

So, Zhang Chen was dribbling to a place near the free throw line, and suddenly felt that he had bumped into a person.

The basketball has a tendency to break away from the control of his right hand, and Zhang Chen hurriedly used his left hand to help the basketball stabilize and hold it into his arms. However, it was too late, and the basketball still bounced.

Taking advantage of this effort, Zhang Chen also saw the situation in front of him clearly, he saw that Martin looked like he had fallen heavily on the floor, dusty, and his puzzled and helpless expression coupled with his thin and weak body gave people an illusion of extreme need for sympathy.

The referee began to pronounce the ball: "White six, offensive foul." ”

I wiped ~ Zhang Chen felt unhappy for a while, and just happened to see Martin winking at him playfully.

Zhang Chen gritted his back molars tightly, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself to reason with the referee and usher in a technical foul.

Zhang Chen's four minutes on the court in the second quarter passed like this, Zhang Chen did not score, only missed a jump shot, but he was cheated by Martin into two fouls in the four minutes on the court.

"That's a liar...... I think the referee should keep his eyes open and see that this is a fair game and not someone using their own despicable means to cheat the score. Zhang Chen spat at Nash hatefully.

Nash looked at Zhang Chen's indignant appearance and said with some amusement: "Chen, you have to adapt to this, the NBA is such a battlefield, many people will do everything to score, they will use all the means they can to help themselves put the basketball into the basket." You need to pay more attention in the future and don't let such players cheat you into fouls again. ”

Zhang Chen nodded and admitted it, but he was still a little annoyed in his heart: Look at me in the second half.

-- Zhang Chen's opportunity for revenge waited until the middle of the third quarter when he returned to the court.

What was more in line with his expectations was that Martin was also on the court now, and this guy had just cut into the interior and hit a layup and cheated a foul, and the gap between the two teams became seven points after his two-plus-one.

Martin stood beside Zhang Chendi with a very flat face, and Zhang Chen said to him: "Hey, Mr. Liar, I'm here, I won't let your deception succeed again this time." ”

Martin was noncommittal: "I'm not a liar. ”

Now it happens to be the Suns' offense, Nash has the ball over half court, and he is just getting on the court to gradually bring his ball control back to the ground.

Therefore, Nash spent a little more time on the ball, and when he came to the top of the three-point line, Zhang Chen began to try to run. He didn't fully use his positional skills, otherwise it wouldn't have been too difficult to get rid of Martin.

Thinking that he had just been deceived by this guy and fouled twice, the annoyance in Zhang Chen's heart surged up again: "Hey, I'm going to do it for real." ”

"Come on...... Maybe you'll still get a foul. Martin began to poke Zhang Chen's sore spot.

Zhang Chen ignored him, but began to use the surrounding environment to add some success rate to his run. He saw Bell, who happened to be standing beside him, and ran around him.

Martin turned his head and hit Bell, and at this moment Zhang Chen had already received a pass and hit a three-point shot.

One of Martin's biggest defensive flaws is that he doesn't look at his surroundings and instead stares at the players he defends.

Therefore, his ability to deal with the surrounding environment is quite weak, and it is difficult to deal with the opponent's blocking and dismantling tactics.

This ball is a portrayal, when Zhang Chen took advantage of the surrounding environment to start running, Martin basically had no problem with Zhang Chen.

Switching offense and defense, Martin also began to use his running skills against Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen couldn't prevent him for some time, so he let Martin come and hit a jumper.

After a couple of transitions, the ball was back in the hands of the Suns.

With the last two minutes left before the end of the third quarter, the Suns led by nine points, and Zhang Chen's three points just now also helped the Suns pull away the score.

This time the Suns attacked, and Nash also had to fight a positional battle, because the opponent began to press the defense, and there was not much space between them.

One of the most useful moments for Zhang Chen for the Suns is when he is in positional battles, as he can use his running to open up gaps and score on jumpers.

This ball was no exception, Zhang Chen once again took advantage of the surrounding environment, quickly shook off Martin, received Nash's pass and hit a jumper, contributing two points to the Suns.

In the following time, Martin was helpless against Zhang Chen.

This game ended like this, Martin didn't take much time from deceiving Zhang Chen to two fouls at the beginning to being suppressed by Zhang Chen across the board.

In this game, Zhang Chen made 4 of 5 three-point shots and 4 of 6 two-point shots, scoring a total of 21 points, which can be regarded as a more qualified starter.

The Suns defeated the Kings 114-98 to cap off their 2007. Zhang Chen's score of more than 21 points can be regarded as an end to his 2007.
