The Bulls have always been Pat Riley's haze, killing his teams in the playoffs for several years, to be precise, the Bulls with Michael Jordan.

Now that Michael Jordan is retired, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman are gone, the Bulls are now on Toni Kukoc's team, and they've gone from a championship team to an underdog.

Even so, Pat Riley was going to fuck them hard and give them a whip.

"Anyone who doesn't give me my best will just sit on the bench."

Zhang Chen did not hear Pat Riley say this, but the team boss Alonzo Mourning warned everyone on the team, saying that he heard the head coach say this with his own ears.

Regardless of whether Pat Riley has said so, the Heat's players are ready for the away game against the Bulls on the 11th, showing the intensity of the finals.

The Bulls were obviously beaten 82:49 by a group of Heat players who put on a desperate posture. Under the terrifying defense, it was a massacre.

This kind of performance finally made Pat Riley calm down.

A day later, the Heat returned home and beat the visiting Milwaukee Bucks 95-92.

On the 14th, the Heat, with a lot less resentment, defeated the Chicago Bulls again at 90:74 at home, achieved a wave of six consecutive victories, and returned to the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference.

Unfortunately, in the back-to-back games on the second day, the Heat lost 86:98 to the Milwaukee Bucks in an away game. The problem of the team's perimeter defense once again made the head coach frown.

On the 17th, Tim Hardaway missed a decisive shot at the Boston Celtics' home court, and the Heat ushered in another losing streak at 81:82.

Fortunately, two days later, when the Heat returned home to beat Pat Riley's most worried opponent, the Indiana Pacers, 92:88, he didn't get mad.

On the 20th, the Heat came to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers. There are not many games left in this season. If they win this game, the Heat will enter the playoffs ahead of schedule just like the San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz in the West. Team ranks.

The Cavaliers team was really popular last year. The "Rain Man" Sean Kemp, who was transferred from the Supersonics, led four rookies as the main lineup of the Cavaliers to the playoffs. This may be unprecedented. , It is difficult to have a comer in the future.

These four rookies are known as the Cavaliers Four Tigers, namely Lithuanians Zaid Nunas - Ilgauskas, Derek - Anderson, Blevin - Knight and Cedric - Henderson.

The Cavaliers' lineup has not changed this year, but their record is much worse. It will be difficult to enter the playoffs depending on the situation.

This may have something to do with Ilgauskas' foot injury, or it may be because the "Rain Man" defensively dropped a notch after gaining weight during the lockout period.

Zhang Chen's opponent is last year's second-team rookie Derek Anderson. In fact, the Cavaliers had two first-team rookies and two second-team rookies last year. Zhang Chen will definitely enter this year's first-team rookie.

Derek Anderson and Zhang Chen's technical characteristics are somewhat similar, that is, they are very versatile, they can have some offensive skills, and the defense is the same. If such a player is stronger, he is at the level of an All-Star. Anderson is a little bit worse. So he's still an important role player.

Zhang Chen can only be regarded as an important role player now, but he is slightly taller than the opponent, and his physical fitness and game statistics are also slightly stronger than the opponent. Rookies entering the NBA are moving faster than the player who entered a year earlier.

Except for the strength of Sean Kemp, the Cavaliers have average strength in other positions, but at the beginning of the game, Kemp did not play well in this strength. Although Kemp has a slight increase in scoring this season, but with Mo Ning's level of insider confrontation can be seen, his strength is declining.

Kemp was restricted, and the Cavaliers immediately entered the rhythm of shooting and shooting birds, and began to throw from the outside.

Compared with the Cavaliers letting Kemp play inside, such a Cavaliers makes the Heat a little nervous.

Pat Riley began to walk back and forth on the sidelines again. Fortunately, the Cavaliers are not very adapted to this style of play, and the continuity of offense is not strong.

"Anderson's breakthrough with the ball, the pull-up jump shot... missed. The Heat's Zhang always stayed in front of him. It was another successful defense. Today Anderson's shooting percentage is less than [-]%."

"Zhang's defense is getting better and better, it's a shame he's been a lot less involved in the Heat's offense than he was in the first half of the season."

Derek Anderson couldn't believe that this rookie would be so strong. Confronting Zhang Chen was too exhausting, and the intensity made his knees a little too much. He wiped his sweat and his breathing rhythm was a little disordered.

He is a very confident player and has good talent. He has played against other popular rookies this year before, but Zhang Chen makes him feel the most uncomfortable, and the pressure on him in defense is too great.

No one in the Cavaliers can bring too much trouble to the Heat, and the momentum of the game has always been on the Heat's side.

94:87, the Heat won their 30th game of the season and became the third team to advance to the playoffs this season.

In the next game, the opponent at home was still the Cavaliers. During the next day's training, when everyone was present, Mourning and Hardaway waved to Zhang Chen, motioning him to go to their side.

Zhang Chen didn't know what was going on, but since the two bosses of the team called, he immediately ran over.

Mourning put his big hands around Zhang Chen's shoulders, and said to everyone: "Listen everyone, we have a good record this season, ranking first in the East, and now there are only the last ten games left in the regular season." , In addition to uniting to maintain the first position, I hope everyone will give Zhang a little support so that he can win the best rookie in one fell swoop."

"Zhang, you can play hard in the next game. I support you to step on the Raptors and Celtics." Tim Hardaway also patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder and said.

Hearing the words of the two bosses of the team, Zhang Chen was very moved for a moment.

To be honest, his personal relationship with the two is not particularly good, that is, the relationship between good teammates. I didn't expect the two to stand up and let the whole team support him.

Although the regular season MVP competition for the two is nothing, this year Hardaway has not entered the top ten candidates, and Mourning also has Karl Malone, Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson and other outstanding people in front of Mourning, but two It is indeed Zhang Chen's luck to support a rookie so much on his own initiative.

这个时候文斯－卡特的数据是场均18.2分5.8个篮板3个助攻1.1次抢断1.5次盖帽45.1%的命中率。

保罗－皮尔斯的数据是场均16.6分6.5个篮板2.5个助攻1.7次抢断1次盖帽43.7%的命中率。

In the latest rookie list, Carter is first, Zhang Chen is second, and Pierce is third. Originally, during the time when Zhang Chen played most comfortably, he had better points, rebounds and assists than Carter. He was also ranked first in the rookie list at that time, but After Mashburn came back, his scoring and assists were surpassed by Carter, and his ranking was squeezed to second place.

But after focusing on defense, the steals and blocks that were not as good as the opponent's were surpassed in the past, and because of shot selection and other reasons, in terms of shooting percentage, he is the best of the three.

With only ten games left in the game, plus the characteristics of the game, it is no surprise that the best rookies will definitely be the three who have been ranked in the top three rookies this season.

If it is considered the team's achievements, Zhang Chen should be the best rookie based on the current data.

场均17.9分7.8个篮板2.9个助攻1.6次抢断1.6次盖帽，47.6%的命中率，就是张辰现在的数据，十分的全面。

He had dreamed that if he had enough possession of the ball, he would definitely be able to play 20+5+5.

In fact, supporting Zhang Chen to win the best rookie is to help him get some stats in the next ten games. For such a thing, there is almost no hope for the playoffs, and the Celtics, who have no one to compete for the MVP of the regular season, will definitely do the same. To help Pierce, as for the Raptors, it is the core of Carter, who does not support him.

Under such circumstances, if Zhang Chen did not have the support of his teammates, it would indeed be more difficult. Now that he has the approval of Mourning and Hardaway, it will definitely be much more convenient.

Moved, Zhang Chen secretly made up his mind that he would help the team reach the highest podium in the playoffs even if he tried his best.

For such a player's decision, everyone on the coaching staff will naturally turn a blind eye. This is also an unspoken rule of the NBA. When the interests of the team are not damaged, players are allowed to use some data to fight for personal Honorary.

Moreover, Pat Riley is already considering the rotation of Mourning and Hardaway. In order for the core of the team to face the playoffs in full condition, the teams that are sure to enter the playoffs will probably let the main players Take a game or two off.

On the 22nd, in the match between the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers at home, Tim Hardaway really fulfilled his promise and gave Zhang Chen a lot of time to hold the ball.

张辰也没有令人失望25分10个篮板5个助攻助热火队主场93:80力战来访的骑士队。

第二天的背靠背，张辰又拿下19分14个篮板4个助攻帮助迈阿密热火队75:70,客场拿下了奥兰多魔术队，在双方的疯狂打铁中，张辰的19分已经是全场最高分了。

On the 26th, the Miami Heat lost 80:82 to the New York Knicks at home. For the game against the Knicks, Zhang Chen was actually very cautious. In this game, he did not force himself to attack. He scored 16 points and sent 12 assists , but ultimately failed.

In the next day's away game against the Cavaliers, Zhang Chen broke out and scored 30 points and 9 rebounds. The team also beat the opponent 90:65.

On the 28th, in the Heat's 95:76 victory over the Nets, Zhang Chen had another outstanding performance. His 27 points and 8 rebounds were enough to prove his excellence.

On the 30th, Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning rested, and Zhang Chen and Pierce had an offensive battle. Zhang Chen, who scored 35 points and 7 rebounds, and Paul Pierce, who scored 32 points and 8 rebounds, both performed well. Out of the potential of a superstar, 107:96, it was the Heat who won the victory.

The outbreak of these games brought Zhang Chen back to the top of the rookie list.

On the first day of May, Pat Riley asked Zhang Chen to go to his office again, "Zhang, don't you have an agent yet? It's time to find one."
