308 A New Journey
This deathly silence lasted for nearly a second!
This dunk was like a match, drawing a cluster of blue light, and suddenly, the blood in everyone's heart was instantly ignited and turned into a raging flame! The dull crashing sound, the big striker who was being knocked backwards by Zhang Chen and lying on the floor, and the referee's sharp whistle, each became a catalyst inside the human body, and in a short moment, the blood in everyone's body also burned and boiled with the dull sound of the basket shocking. This feeling of burning until it boils gushes out of my heart and rises all the way to my throat, making people feel like they are stuck in their throats, and they don't vomit or feel unhappy.
So, after a brief pause of nearly a second, the dead silence in the arena just became a harbinger of a new burst of sound, a temporary backtracking of a boxer who put away his fists to gather strength and then hit hard. The booming sound soon drowned out everything in the stadium, and Zhang Chen's raised fist swung through the air amid the chaotic voices of the audience, a celebration that became a footnote to Zhang Chen's revenge. The guy on the ground was already lying disheartened, and just now, he suffered one of the biggest humiliations of a player. Zhang Chen's slam dunk was like a powerful sledgehammer, hitting him hard in the chest, and there was a sound of inches shattering from inside.
"Good ball" Not only the audience was cheering, Zhang Chen's teammates were also cheering wildly, and Randolph, who witnessed this blood-pumping slam dunk up close, was also so stunned that he couldn't even speak, Zhang Chen's performance immediately made him surrender, and Nash was a force that was difficult to compete with, making people tremble.
Zhang Chen slam dunk scored two points, this slam dunk quickly became a turning point in today's game, although the Knicks were able to lead the opponent before, but their lead always had a little bit of pain, and after Zhang Chen's slam dunk, the Knicks' morale was fully mobilized, and in the next third quarter, the entire court became the Knicks' performance stage.
The first is that Zhang Chen didn't let go after a dunk, he passed half the court, and then rampage with his speed again, and went straight to the inside for a layup. Then, Dujon hit a three-pointer, then Gallinari missed a three-pointer, and David Lee grabbed a rebound to make a rebound, and the opening of the point difference began to appear. In the following time, the Knicks were completely in control of the situation, Zhang Chen was unforgiving, and hit a three-pointer in the back, and he also performed a stunt of shaking the sky with a butterfly step, in his fluttering, his body fluttered in the inside, and no one could catch his trace when he came to the basket, so this layup hit like a weight, and Zhang Chen once again increased his score by two points.
The fourth quarter began, and the Pacers had lost to the Knicks by a total of 18 points in the first three quarters, and now they were the first to serve and try to chase the score back. Grange gave a blow this time, made a successful jump shot outside the three-point line, and used a three-point shot to open a city for them, but Zhang Chen was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he was not afraid of Grange's three-point provocation, and directly broke into the interior to put a basket and hit it, helping the Knicks score two more points.
Then, the two teams began a big charge of overall strength, and the Knicks' offense was more mature in actual combat, although the Pacers' offense against the Knicks was also quite fierce, and they also captured some clues of the Knicks' offensive approach, so they also launched some counterattacks.
However, today Zhang Chen seems to have taken a stimulant, especially in the fourth quarter, in the first five minutes of the fourth quarter, he turned the river and the sea in the Pacers' inside and outside, walked in the inside, and won thousands of miles on the outside. He scored 10 points in five minutes, almost the entire team's score, and in the remaining minutes, although his shooting weakened, his score continued to rise despite the high shooting percentage.
The Knicks won their first big win of the season at home - the final score was 114-101, and the Knicks beat their opponents by 13 points, and in the second game of the Knicks after returning home from a wave of consecutive road losses, they showed the world a new Knicks team, and let them see a new team, a team that has a new offensive and defensive framework, and is gradually getting its own achievements.
In this game, Zhang Chen's performance was jaw-dropping - 51 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, and also contributed 1 steal, 51 points have become commonplace in Zhang Chen, but what is surprising is that he also sent 6 assists and grabbed five rebounds.
In this game, Zhang Chen showed a brilliant offensive technique that made everyone shudder - his cuts were as fast as lightning, as fast as a wind, and his outside shots pierced through Yang in 100 steps, and his sword sealed his throat. When his attack is transformed into a burst of caste, he opens and closes, and when he transforms into a Fluttering Sect breakthrough, his moves can still become leisurely and frightening.
When replaying today's five best balls, Zhang Chen made a total of two balls on the list, first of all, he drilled out of the people and then threw the hit, this ball can only see Zhang Chen's fleeting figure like a glimpse. The second is that he came through the opponent's big forward with a heavy dunk that made the basket tremble and fear, and that ball Zhang Chen turned into an invincible overlord gun, rampage, making people defenseless!
In the press conference after this game, many reporters have turned to praise Zhang Chen, and what they say has a kind of fanciful taste. Today's performance of Zhang Chen has opened everyone's eyes, he has demonstrated to people a lot of offensive techniques that embody the ultimate power and beauty of human beings, these wonderful offensive arts dance in people's retina, carved into the soul and cannot be peeled off.
With 51 points in this game, Zhang Chen's physical strength was quite amazing, and he returned to his room weakly and dialed Avril's phone.
"Hey, Tatsuna...... I've been waiting for your call, otherwise, to be honest, it should be my sleep time now! ”
Zhang Chen said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, but I always feel like I want to find someone to talk about my feelings tonight, you know, the big forward of the Pacers, Tony, I re-dunked one from him, it tasted great!" He could only complain to the referee that I was playing rugby, but so what did it matter? I didn't take his complaints to heart at all, I just remembered the way he was swept away by me! ”
"Alright... I've watched your game! I did witness the wonderful slam dunk you mentioned, but I have to warn you that although this kind of slam dunk can make the audience's blood pump, it can also make your life spurt, and the damage to the body is too great, I think you should protect your body and stay away from such dangerous actions. ”
Zhang Chen nodded a little impatiently on the phone, but he quickly remembered that it seemed that he couldn't let Avril see it by doing this, so he straightened his neck and said, "I know!" How's it going over there? I've heard that there are a lot of your fans there. ”
"Yes, you can't imagine the enthusiasm of these fans here, sometimes these fans are just a little too good! You can feel the care they bring to you all the time. ”
"Oh...... That's great, but I still think you can stay away from the male fans appropriately, okay? ”
Avril chuckled on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I got it...... You stingy guy. ”
Zhang Chen smiled, and then said: "I'm sorry, although I have asked you to wait for my call, I have to go to sleep now, the recent schedule is very tight, and I have to ensure that I have enough physical strength at all times." ”
"I see, go to sleep." Avril said a final goodnight on the other end of the phone, and the electromagnetic waves of the phone call came to an abrupt halt in the air on both sides. Zhang Chen looked at the phone a little thoughtfully, but he quickly lost interest, lay on the bed and entered the study space, tasting the ups and downs of training in the space.
After beating the Pacers, the Knicks have another road trip to Minnesota to take on the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves have been a bit aggressive this season, and they have taken off Beasley, a bit of a second, who has become their new dream.
The Knicks didn't move up the Eastern Conference standings after beating the Pacers, but they were also a lot closer to the top of the bench, and if they can maintain their sixth-place record, they will qualify for the playoffs. At the same time, Zhang Chen's average score per game reached 39 points, still at the top of the league, although the following Flash Wade began to consciously catch up, in the recent game, but his long sentence score can only stay above the threshold of 31 points, which is still a lot worse than Zhang Chen. The eight-point gap between Zhang Chen and Wade has become an unattainable sight of the high mountains.
The Knicks went to challenge the Timberwolves away again, the Knicks not long ago stepped on a crazy blood path to prove themselves on the Trail Blazers and Pacers, and Zhang Chen shocked the world with the 92 points added up in the two games, so even the most stubborn people can't help but have more expectations for this Knicks team and the radiant player.
This game was broadcast live by the five sets of Chinese Tianchao Sports, and the whole process was narrated by two more famous commentators. No one predicted the outcome of the game before the game started, because it was difficult to predict, and the Knicks, who everyone thought they might have to rebuild before the season and still fell into the lottery, have now blocked two good strong teams in a row. No one could have predicted what kind of surprises the Knicks would make, what kind of jaw-dropping miracles they would create.
As soon as the game began, David Lee picked up the jump ball on the opponent's head and slapped it into Zhang Chen's hand. Zhang Chen turned into white lightning in this moment, swept half court and scored a layup, taking the lead for the Knicks. Zhang Chen's layup was still atmospheric, light as a feather, and under the gentle push of his right hand, the basketball became Zhang Chen's most obedient elf, and he ran into the basket with low eyebrows.
As soon as the game began, the opponent's division was brutally abused by Zhang Chen, and the time of the first quarter completely became Zhang Chen's performance stage, on the basketball court, the lights were shining, and Zhang Chen was tossing and turning in various parts of the basketball court, running like thunder. After a crazy scoring in the first quarter, Zhang Chen handed over a three-point shot with three three-pointers and two two-pointers, scoring a total of 16 points.
In the first quarter of the game, Zhang Chen stepped on the crazy blood road of scoring, even if it only relied on Zhang Chen's offense, the Knicks could basically be invincible, not to mention that there were many people who would score in the Knicks? Some of them have accurate three-point points, some have fat butts, and they can understate their opponents, and some get two pairs as usual.
D'Antoni spent the entire first quarter smiling on the basketball court, a look of inscrutable expression on his face. In fact, D'Antoni was quite happy with the team's performance today, not because the Knicks took a six-point lead in the first quarter, but because their understanding of offensive tactics was maturing. This maturity is reflected in the team's cooperation, they have been able to start attacking along the routine of the tactical trajectory, and have been able to attack successfully, turning into scoring again and again.
Zhang Chen is the biggest beneficiary of this tactical system, and the reason here is more naturally because of Zhang Chen's miraculous three-point shot, once he can run out of the vacancy, followed by the basketball piercing the net, and the net is stirring for a moment. Of course, the relationship between Zhang Chen and the team is still a relationship of dependence and common improvement, Zhang Chen does not often dominate the ball, although he has a lot of shots in every game, but his high shooting rate also ensures that his scoring is efficient, so no one can make a fuss about this.
So far in this game, Zhang Chen has scored 16 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, and the second quarter of the game started with the cheers of the Timberwolves fans. The Timberwolves scored two points with a solid shot. However, then the Knicks' bench lineup also launched a counterattack.
D'Antoni has never lacked training with these benches these days in his training with the Knicks, although the level of the bench is uneven, their ambitions are also different, and those who have coveted the starting lineup for a long time and are eager to perform can often burst into a lot of power. These days, D'Antoni has been giving these benches the same intense training, and many of them have persevered, and more importantly, most of these substitutes still have a relatively strong absorption ability, so now the Knicks' bench lineup is not weak.
Under the blow of the Knicks' bench lineup, the Timberwolves quickly became red inside and out, and were exhausted by the Knicks' offense but often did not get results. So, they didn't fall behind by too many points in the first half of the second quarter, but they were basically on the verge of being crushed.
In the second half of the second quarter, the Knicks returned to their main force and started a new round of blows to the heart of the Timberwolves.
Judging from the current age composition of the personnel, the main lineup of the Knicks and the main lineup of the Timberwolves are basically young, and there are almost no players over 30 years old in the main lineup of both sides.
The guys of the Timberwolves are obsessed with the Knicks' offense and refuse to surrender, and the young people are always full of passion, and they can be said to have not given up an inch of ground in the battle with the Knicks' main lineup, dunks, breakthroughs, etc., every time they have dealt a certain blow to the Knicks' central system.
It's just that the Knicks' offense is also extremely sharp, and their offensive provocation in the face of the Timberwolves also makes their offense occasionally show their lineup, and under their counterattack, the two teams staged an offensive duel that made the audience applaud.
The Knicks' offense has shifted more to a team offense, and they have been able to find their teammates' positions in the process of attacking, if it weren't for the lack of a perfect playmaker, what kind of ferocious offensive scene would it be to put Zhang Chen, Randolph, David Lee, and Gallinari in full tandem?
However, even if they don't get to the perfect attacking screen, their attacking power is definitely something to be reckoned with. You have to keep an eye on Zhang Chen all the time, otherwise he will always be able to find opportunities from your lineup, and even create opportunities to run out of empty seats by himself. And in the training of the two people these days, Zhang Chen and Du Hong have also cultivated a certain tacit understanding, after Zhang Chen got a vacant position, Du Hong's pass has often been whistling, and then Zhang Chen jumped and threw a shot, which was natural and smooth.
At such times, the Timberwolves often can't stop the Knicks' shooting, and the Knicks can attack not only Zhang Chen, but also the cooperation between Dujon and Randolph, as well as the cooperation between Zhang Chen and Randolph and Gallinari. The Knicks' offense became an all-out bloom in the second quarter, rather than Zhang Chen's solo show.
In this quarter, Zhang Chen hit a three-pointer, Gallinari hit a mid-range shot, David Lee hit a dunk, Randolph hit a slam dunk and hit a mid-range shot, and Dujon handed out three assists.
At the end of the first half, the Knicks finally led the opponent by 12 points into the second half, and the situation of the Timberwolves was already vast and precarious.
