Chapter 17 Perfect Experience
On February 2, the Heat suffered their second loss of the season.

During this period of time, Grant Hill had led the Pistons out of the downturn, and when they met again, they finally killed the Heat unreasonably at home.

There are only 2 days in February. Two days later, when the Heat welcome the Orlando Magic at home, it has entered March.

The Orlando Magic team also entered the finals a few years ago when Shaquille O'Neal was still there, but after O'Neal moved to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 96-97 season, another core of the team, "Penny" Anfernee Hardaway was hit by injuries, and the Magic were in trouble all of a sudden.

The Magic didn't even make the playoffs last season, but they started this season very well. After the Heat lost to the Pistons, both teams had a record of 10 wins and 2 losses. Whichever team wins can lead the Eastern Conference.

The only reason the Magic started so well is thanks to the lockout.

The lockout made many players completely unable to find their form at the beginning of the season, but it also allowed some players to recover some bravery, such as Anfernee Hardaway, the former "Jordan successor".

There are some players who are called "Jordan's successors" in the league, and all of them are talented characters. This is mainly because of the strength of the leader. People always like to compare outstanding young players with him.

Now this Magic team is also an outside-oriented team. In addition to Anfernee Hardaway who can make his teammates better, whether it is the team's veteran swingman Nick Anderson or the newly emerging Darrell Armstrong , are all outside players, even this year's No. 15 pick Matt Harprin played well, and the old "human movie essence" Dominique Wilkins can also score.

The inside line is the main member of the Bulls during the first three consecutive championships, "Cobra" Horace Grant. Although he has not been so brave since leaving the Bulls, he can still support the inside line in a team that mainly focuses on outside lines .

Another notable feature of this Magic team is that there are many steals masters. There are 5 players in the team who average more than 1 steal per game. Among them, Anfernee Hardaway and Darrell Armstrong even average 2 steals per game. As mentioned above, teams with few outside possession points will kneel in the face of their fierce outside press.

You know, only Tim Hardaway and Terry Porter can average more than one steal per game for the Heat.

Therefore, this battle for the top spot in the Eastern Conference will not be easy for the Heat.

And Pat Riley also gave a death order, and this home game must be won.

Zhang Chen still felt a little guilty when he lost to the Pistons. It wasn't that he made a major mistake on the court, but that he was not willing to use the perfect experience card he just drew. It was only a 5-point difference. Play better, the result may be different.

So in this game against the Magic, he used this card without hesitation.

Amidst the cheers of the home fans, Mourning won the jump ball and the Heat took the lead in attacking.

Just after halftime, Zhang Chen was approached by a strong white player and defended him in a hand-to-hand style.

Zhang Chen was a little surprised, he had done this before, but it was the first time for him to enjoy such treatment.

The opponent is Matt Harprin of the Magic, and he is also one of the guys who have adapted to the NBA very quickly in this class. Like Zhang Chen, they are both on the rookie list.

It is said that since the top pick of parallel imports gradually exposed his true strength, the top few rookie players have all become outside players, and Matt Halperin, who was born in football, is known for his ferocious defense.

"Hey, buddy, I won't let you score easily in this game. Let us rookies stay on the sidelines and let those veterans decide the outcome of the game."

Just as Matt Harprin finished speaking, Zhang Chen disappeared in front of him.

If he had encountered Matt Harprin's close-fitting defense one day earlier, Zhang Chen's only choice was to fight and consume the opponent. The final result is likely to be as Harprin said, the two of them Will be displaced outside the team's tactical system due to excessive consumption.

But just after being posted by Harprin today, Zhang Chen felt a strange feeling. The thinking in his head became surprisingly clear, and the feeling of his body became extraordinarily sensitive, and he instantly judged how to rely on his own ability. Quickly get rid of the opponent's defense.

So he instantly took advantage of the strength of the opponent's rushing up, turned around and let the opponent miss.

In this way, a ferocious defense by Harprin turned into a misplacement.

Tim Hardaway pushed with both hands, and the basketball appeared in Zhang Chen's open hands.

In the past, when he received this kind of ball, he would either pull it up and shoot, or he would break through with the ball. Sometimes the opponent's defender made up the position in time and he would pass it back to Tim Hardaway.

The players of the Magic team made up for it in a timely manner, but this time Zhang Chen immediately judged the most efficient way to score as soon as he received the ball, and there was no need to pass back to Tim Hardaway to reorganize.

After he caught the ball, it was a false throw and a true pass. The basketball came directly to Mourning's head. Mourning picked up the ball and it was an alley-oop.

Mourning gave him a thumbs up, and the commentator on the scene shouted beautifully excitedly.

Is this the perfect experience of Kade? He has never shown this kind of one-handed passing ability in previous games. His playing habit likes to subconsciously stop the ball in his hand. He is used to being a finisher. It feels better to hold the ball in your hand or dribble twice, even if you are passing the ball.

After experiencing it, he found that sometimes it is more effective to hit the ball directly. The key is that he has the ability to do this. Even at a 45-degree angle, he can hang it into the hands of the inside player as accurately as in the front.

Zhang Chen was completely immersed in this wonderful feeling, and even forgot to pay Harprin a few words in return habitually.

Halprin defends fiercely, but his touch is very soft in offense. He is used to shooting the ball without any adjustments at all. Therefore, he is also a player who uses off-ball movement to get rid of defenders in offense, just the opposite of Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen is more used to getting rid of the ball.

Therefore, Zhang Chen is more accustomed to defending players with the ball than defending players who are running.

Under the effect of the perfect experience card, the habits are hidden, and he is now the most perfect choice based on his stats, whether in offense or defense.

So as soon as Harprin moved, he judged the opponent's intention with his perfect judgment. Just like the pass just now, he judged the reaction of the Magic defenders in an instant when he received the ball. Various abilities in terms of physical talent were also quickly brought into play.

Anfernee Hardaway is a leader who is willing to help his teammates score. He always plays the ball very reasonably. He can quickly familiarize himself with the characteristics of each player on the team. Same.

As soon as Harprin moved, he judged where Harprin would appear. That was Harprin's shooting point, and the basketball in his hand appeared at the position where Harprin ran to along with his textbook pass. .

Anfernee Hardaway's pass is very comfortable, and there is no slight difference from the practice. Harprin pulls up and shoots, but suddenly, a hand appears on his shooting trajectory, a solid one Big hat.

"How is it possible?" Harprin's face was full of surprise.

Not only him, but even Anfernee Hardaway's face was unbelievable. This was a smooth cooperation, and there was no trace of procrastination in the whole process. This is still blocked. The opponent's rookie's judgment and physical strength The response was also great.

"If the physical talent is better, the ball can be intercepted directly. In that case, we can definitely play a fast break." Zhang Chen felt a little regretful. He judged the opponent's movements perfectly, but it was the opponent's reaction that made him The resulting judgment is still a little bit slower than Harprin in terms of process. If the physical talent is a little bit better, it is indeed possible to block the Anfernee-Hardaway pass before Harprin. .

If the other party knew what Zhang Chen was thinking right now, he would definitely have the urge to shoot him to death.

The basketball went out of bounds, and the opponent didn't have much time to attack this time. After receiving the ball, Anfernee Hardaway, who was strictly defended, still made a beautiful escape and stuffed the ball into the hands of Horace Grant inside.

Horace Grant made a mid-range shot, but missed his aim slightly.

Zhang Chen appeared exactly where the basketball bounced off. When Penny passed the ball, he was running to the inside. Although his rebounding ability has been improving, his rebounding awareness has not been very good. Most of the double-doubles on rebounds are obtained by teams with poor rebounding ability by rushing to grab them. There are very few times when they rely entirely on judgment to move to the rebounding point in advance.

It's really labor-saving to be able to use all abilities perfectly.

After getting the rebound, he found that most of the players from both sides were still crowded on the other side due to the offense from the sideline. Zhang Chen dribbled and sprinted without hesitation.

Going straight down the court at this point is more efficient than throwing the ball to Tim Hardaway on the other side of the Orlando defender, who has the ballhandling and sprint speed to do it now.

"One-stop dunks, another wonderful performance by Zhang Chen. At the beginning of this game, Zhang Chen of the Heat team was very active, and he can be seen everywhere."

"Such an all-around performance, Anferni will be jealous, haha."

Whenever at home, Zhang Chen can always be liked by the on-site commentators, especially because of the team's record. After he began to overwhelm Vince Carter and Paul Pierce, who were relatively close in the rookie list, he was even more popular. Welcome up.

"Impossible, he can't be that good, and he's just a rookie." Matt Harprin was extremely shocked.
