Chapter 12 Value and Focus

After Carter was hit, he fought more and more courageously. Zhang Chen was almost trembling with excitement, and his hand felt so hot now, so let's fight.

Carter began to rush to the basket. Even in the face of Mourning's block, he was not afraid. Such a Carter and Zhang Chen could hardly defend.

And after devoting almost all his energy on the offensive end, Carter also had few ways to attack Zhang Chen. Almost half of the time, when Carter fell on the Heat's basket just now, Zhang Chen had already started to rush towards the half of the Raptors. field.

With the ball in hand, Zhang Chen displayed new skills, whether it was a breakthrough or a three-pointer, he was very decisive.

Being able to shoot and pass suddenly, this is the magic weapon for him to dominate the college basketball court.

"Come on, Carter, I must guard against you this time."

"You can't guard against it, and this is what I want to tell you."

"Is that so, I think you are barely enough to attack, but I often can't see your shadow when I attack."

"Hmph, you didn't follow my ass when I attacked."

"That's because I want to give up my seat to Alonzo. The hot pot tastes good, right?"

"That doesn't count, and you didn't build it, you didn't beat me."

"You didn't beat me, but my team beat your team, come on, it's kind of unfair."

At the end of the third quarter, both men came off the court with a slight limp.

张辰拿到21分8篮板8助攻，卡特20分8篮板4助攻，两个人都打出了十分出彩的数据，可是球队方面，热火队已经85比65领先20分了。

The game entered garbage time in the fourth quarter, and the main players of both sides did not play again.

The final score of the two sides was fixed at 102 to 84, and the Heat won a big victory.

After the game, Zhang Chen took the initiative to say hello to Vince Carter. He liked the player's dunks very much. From the perspective of dunks, Carter can be said to be the strongest, bar none.

Carter's attitude was also very friendly, "Zhang, next time I will definitely win against you and your team."

"I also plan to do the same, let's work hard together." If possible, he would also snatch Carter's best rookie, Zhang Chen added secretly in his heart.

In this game, Zhang Chen got a quasi-triple-double and was interviewed by reporters before returning to the waiting room.

"Zhang, you performed so well in this game, do you think you are the strongest among the rookies this year?"

"No, there are a lot of good guys in this year's rookie, like Vince Carter I met in today's game, Paul Pierce I met two days ago, they are all All-Star level guys, and there are some guys I don't have. The players I have played against are also very good, but I will try my best to become the strongest one."

"Your attack with the ball today was very good and you played great numbers. Will you still play like this in the future?"

"That depends on the arrangement of the head coach. Whether it is attacking with the ball or running without the ball, whether it is offensive or defensive, my goal is the same as that of the team, which is to win, not my personal data."

"Do you have anything else to say about today's game?"

"Our team performed very well in today's game, and they gave me a very comfortable performance opportunity. Thanks to the coaches, thanks to my excellent teammates, and the Raptors also have many good players, except for Vince- Carter, I believe Tracy McGrady will be an All-Star."

For media reporters, Zhang Chen already has many years of experience, so it can be said that he is more than capable.

But he didn't expect that the integrity of media reporters is something that doesn't exist at all. The next day, a newspaper wrote, "Zhang Chen of the Heat uttered wild words, saying that he is the strongest rookie."

Seeing this, Zhang Chen could only directly insult the two countries.

The game against the Raptors on the 12th is over, and the next game is against the New Jersey Nets on the 16th, and it is still at home. Four days is a good adjustment period for the team.

As a shrinking season, to be honest, many players did not adjust well at the beginning of the season. After 4 days, it was back-to-back, and there were games for three consecutive days. This is only the case in this special season.

Even for an iron-blooded coach like Pat Riley, when he finally encounters a day without a game for a few days, he also gives the players half a day off to let the players relax.

What are you doing for half a day off? The team boss Mourning said that he treats guests, and the players who are free eat barbecue at his house.

This season started in a hurry, every day except for the game, there is training. Some new and old players in the team are not very familiar with each other. He wants to take this opportunity to let the players of a team get to know each other more.

Mourning has placed great hopes on this season. The team reached the Eastern Conference finals last year, and the Bulls kneeled when they met Jordan. Jordan is the god of basketball, but there is nothing he can do about it. But isn’t Jordan retiring this year? The Bulls It also fell apart into fish belly.

To say that Mourning has no idea of ​​winning the championship, unless he has a brain problem, but once Jordan leaves, I am afraid that many people have this idea.

Under such circumstances, a competitive team is very necessary. As the boss of the team, he feels that it is necessary to twist the team into one rope. For a rookie like Zhang Chen who can help the team, he I also feel the need to make a big push.

Originally, Zhang Chen was not good at doing anything in Miami, and he planned to practice more during the holidays. Since the team boss asked everyone to go over to eat barbecue, he definitely wanted to join in the show.

When he came to Mourning's house, Zhang Chen was amazed immediately. Shit, this is the place to live. It's like a high-end resort. Thinking about it, I can only rent a small apartment. I can't work hard. After the rookie contract ends , You have to get a contract that allows you to live in this kind of place. When the time comes, take your sister over and life will be better.

There is a special area for picnics and barbecues in the yard of Mo Ning's house, as well as a sports room and a swimming pool. However, it took half a day off and they didn't go out to do sports.

Since they were at home and Mourning's wife was also there, it was either the big party with beautiful women like clouds in Zhang Chen's imagination, or a very persistent small party.

The boss of the team invited him, and basically everyone came here, even Mashburn who was recovering from his injury. It may take a while for this guy to come back due to his physical condition.

Mourning deliberately pulled Zhang Chen in front of Tim Hardaway and Terry Porter, "Tim, Terry, this kid is very good, he works very hard every day in practice, you two, as seniors in the NBA, But if you want to support such a hard-working young man, you can also teach him a trick or two in ball handling and passing skills."

When Zhang Chen heard it, he was so moved. He didn't expect Mourning to be such a good person. He quickly corrected his attitude and expressed his admiration for the two of them.

"He can't learn my ball-handling skills, and now in the entire NBA, only the 76ers can learn my ball-handling skills." Hardaway didn't deliberately make things difficult for Zhang Chen, he is a straight-talking type, He really felt that Zhang Chen didn't have this talent.

However, Zhang Chen's impression on him has improved a lot in recent days. When Mourning opened his mouth, he didn't like it at all, "Well, I can fight with you when I have time, how many times I can abuse you?" At least you will have some experience when you meet players like me in the future."

It doesn't matter to Terry Porter, it doesn't matter to teach Zhang Chen, but he is a bit bitter in his heart, Zhang Chen's role in coming to the Heat will be much less, and when Mashburn returns, his role will be even smaller , At that time, it is estimated that the Heat will not be able to stay.

In fact, whether to learn from the two of them is the next thing to do. Mourning's current attitude is obviously to cover Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen hastened to flatter Mourning, taking the opportunity to say that he wants to learn inside skills and defense from Mourning.

Mourning readily agreed, although his inside offensive skills are not top-notch, and his defensive skills are also inside defense, but in the Heat, there is really no one better than him, especially the defense, which is definitely the top in the league.

After returning to the team, Zhang Chen unexpectedly received a special task, a media interview.

And this media is a bit special, it is a Chinese media from across the ocean.

Under the internationalization policy of NBA President David Stern, the NBA and China have already formed a relationship, but now there are no Chinese players in the NBA, and the popularity of the NBA in China is far from as great as it was later.

However, China's best player, Wang Zhizhi, has already decided to participate in this year's draft, and the NBA's influence in China has also ushered in a big opportunity for development.

What Zhang Chen didn't know was that when he performed amazingly in the first game, David Stern saw a business opportunity and quickly told the Chinese media about Zhang Chen's situation.

At this time, the sports media workers on the other side of the ocean discovered that there was actually a Chinese in the 1998 rookie. This Chinese was also an NCAA champion player, and at the beginning of the season, this Chinese player who was not a high pick won the trust of the team. , but also a posture to compete for the best rookie.

Zhang Chen immediately attracted the attention of Chinese sports media workers, especially basketball. After contacting the Miami Heat, there was such an exclusive interview.

Reporters all over the world are the same, Zhang Chen still has a lot of experience in dealing with them, especially since he speaks fluent Mandarin, he quickly chatted warmly with these people.

Originally, Zhang Chen knew Mandarin. He was not born in the United States, but immigrated here when he was a child. As for how he originally spoke, he didn't care, anyway, he is very standard now.

Zhang Chen is very happy for the media from his hometown to come. He is a time traveler and has no sense of belonging to the United States. Besides, if he becomes famous in China, wouldn't he have great hopes for the All-Star voting next year.

There's no way around that. At that time, he voted for every All-Star game. Now there must be many enthusiastic fans like him on the other side of the ocean. They really want to see their favorite players appear in the All-Star game.

So everyone chatted very happily, and soon they called each other brothers. Several reporters patted their chests and said that they would definitely introduce him to the vast number of domestic fans, and even talked about when they would go to the motherland to have a look.
