100 Section 3, Stalemate

Zhang Chen's shot allowed the Suns to tie the score, and the second quarter of the game was also coming to an end, and Paul hit a half-court long-range shot to make the first half of the game completely over.

The Suns ended up trailing by one point on Paul's buzzer-beating shot, which was basically negligible.

Back in the locker room at half-time, Zhang Chen was still leaning against the locker cabinet in the locker room as he did every game, and Xiao Si was fiddling with his mobile phone. Suddenly, Xiao Si shouted: "Hey, Chen...... Come here...... You seem to be in trouble again. ”

Zhang Chen opened his eyes and saw Xiao Si pointing at the screen of his phone and yelling at him, he knew that there seemed to be some more exciting news that attracted this guy. Zhang Chen hurriedly came to Xiao Si's side, and then saw that Xiao Si was on a more gossip website, with a lot of lace messages from some celebrities on it.

Zhang Chen smiled: "It turns out that you like such a website!" ”

Xiao Si ignored his words, but said, "Chen, come and see, you have been mentioned above...... Crucially, I wonder if this is true. ”

After Xiao Si said this, he handed his mobile phone to Zhang Chen, who took it and took a look, and found that it was reporting the news of his and Avril's brawl in Miami in a series of repetitions. Zhang Chen frowned when he saw it, but he didn't expect it to be spread out quickly, would this have any impact on Avril's reputation?

"Well, I'll admit it's true......" Mr. Zhang said.

Xiao Si's eyes widened: "**! It turns out that the rumors are true, you really have some secrets with Avril, and besides, your injuries are also related to Avril...... This is crazy! ”

Zhang Chen blinked: "God testify, I didn't expect these things to happen to us at the beginning. ”

Xiao Si's eyes also changed to gossip: "Chen, let's talk about it...... What were you doing in Miami, I'm guessing you guys just got out of a nearby hotel and got there to fight somebody else, right? ”

Zhang Chen glared at him angrily, and then told him what happened to him and Avril, although Xiao Si was a little skeptical, but he reluctantly believed it.

Zhang Chen is a little worried, one is an NBA rookie who has been in the limelight recently, and the other is a popular singer who has been popular all over the country over the years, not to mention that the two of them have already had scandals, if they are fueled by this again......

Shaking his head and throwing these thoughts out of his mind, the second half of the game began.

――――

In the first quarter of the game, both sides basically replaced their main forces, and the peak duel between Nash and Paul also attracted bursts of applause.

However, the 07-08 season was the Hornets' most dazzling season, and it was also their weirdest season, and their blocking and dismantling tactics were simply god-killing and demon-solving, and many teams were helpless against it. The Suns were also a little disgraced by their pick-and-roll and excellent defense for a while.

With five minutes to go in the third quarter, Nash broke inside and then hit a behind-the-head pass for Smalls to score two points for the Suns, who were able to regain the score.

Zhang Chen, like the rest of the bench, stood up and waved the towel in his hand and cheered for his team. Xiao Si's violent buckle is really morale-boosting.

However, while the Suns' morale went up, the ball also managed to anger Paul. In the next two minutes, Paul suddenly turned on the all-round mode. He grabbed two rebounds, assisted West's mid-range shot, and hit a three-pointer himself, allowing the Suns to be overtaken again.

The 22-year-old Paul is a fresh and angry horse, scoring like a bag and assisting like a butterfly. The Suns hit a 7-2 attack wave for a while, and once again trailed by five points.

D'Antoni called a timeout, and this time he waited until everyone was back to reprimand him, and then he waved his hand to let Zhang Chen play.

The Hornets were able to control their defensive tempo, allowing the Suns to unwittingly fall into their defensive trap, and at that time the Suns were stuck in their positional rhythm and couldn't hit the small ball they wanted.

In positional battles, a man with good running and shooting ability can make a huge difference, and D'Antoni hopes that the combination of Zhang Chen and Nash can break down the Hornets' defense and allow the Suns to score when they are caught in the opposing rhythm.

The first ball was for the Suns, and in order not to let the Suns fall into their defensive trap again, Nash quickly ran towards the opposing halfcourt, and in the moment they were caught off guard, he was already in the middle of the court.

The Hornets have set up a line of defense in front of them and are ready to fight.

Zhang Chen understood the meaning in Nash's eyes and came to the outside of the three-point line.

Peterson saw the teenager who was a good runner back on the pitch, and he had an extra eye and quickly rushed forward, not wanting him to receive a pass.

Zhang Chen's two feints and one acceleration into the inside line, and now the Hornets' interior defense has not begun to shrink, and there is basically no one in front of Zhang Chendi.

Nash happened to come to two steps outside the three-point line at this time, and with a shake of his hand, the basketball crossed a graceful arc and came to Zhang Chendi's hand, Zhang Chen received the ball in the air and then did not land, and directly relayed in the air.

Although Zhang Chen was not able to relay a slam dunk in the air, this shot still brought back the Suns' morale a lot, and also brought their score gap back to 3 points.

Paul looked at Zhang Chen's appearance and frowned secretly, why did this guy start to lose the lead they had established as soon as he came on the court? Of course, he was not convinced by this scenario, so he continued his efficiency, broke through the inside line, and played a two-plus-one, and the score gap became six points.

The ball was similarly colored by a 2+1 from Nash, and the two point guards were not far behind in scoring.

In the next offense, the Hornets finally had a hit iron, the basketball quickly passed back, Nash assisted Zhang Chen to hit a three-pointer, and the two teams were tied again!

"Good shot!"

"Beautiful!" The players on the bench also waved towels to encourage Zhang Chen's shot, and the two teams returned to the same running line again, and Zhang Chen contributed a lot.

The third quarter of the game ended in such a stalemate, the Suns finally led by two points into the final quarter of the contest, Zhang Chen shot 2 of 4 in the third quarter, and scored 5 points. While that shooting percentage isn't high for him, he's crucial for the Suns to tie and overtake the score.

When Zhang Chen was on the court, there was a breakthrough when the Suns' offense was at a stalemate.
