Chapter 7
"The ball is scored, the ball is scored, the final kill, the final kill..."

"Heat's No. 10, Zhang Chen, in the first game of the NBA, he staged a decisive game..."

"Absolutely big heart player, Grant Hill's blocks can't stop his performance..."

There were loud cheers in the Miami Heat's home arena, and the shouts of commentators, spectators, and players were mixed together.

At this time, Zhang Chen, the protagonist of the decisive battle, couldn't hear anything. This was really too dreamy, and he was so happy that he did it.

"The No. 51 pick picked up a cold-blooded killer, Pat Riley has a vicious vision, and the Heat are expected to reach the top in the new season."

In Zhang Chen's debut, at halftime, he scored 18 points, 15 rebounds, 32 assist and 2 steal on 1 of 1 shots, and contributed a wonderful final game. Such a result was enough for the Miami Herald to give him a big title.

As a future visitor, Zhang Chen is not very used to reading newspapers. He intends to connect to the Internet after he stabilizes. He didn't learn about the news about people from all walks of life in the newspaper until he arrived at the training hall the next day.

Except for the local media in Miami, other newspapers just brushed off his killing.

His reputation is still too small. If it weren't for his performance yesterday, those people would never have thought that there was such a rookie.

Except for him, most of the rookies in 1998 handed in their first answers. Even Michael Olowokandi, who was destined to become the "parallel import champion", scored 14 points and 6 rebounds. The Clippers lost, but Zhang Chen knew that this guy with rough skills had performed beyond his standard.

第一场比赛新秀中最抢眼的还是文斯-卡特和保罗-皮尔斯的对决,文斯-卡特16分3篮板2助攻2抢断,保罗-皮尔斯19分9篮板5助攻4盖帽,多伦多猛龙103比92拿下了波士顿凯尔特人,卡特赢得了比赛,皮尔斯赢得了数据。

Another rookie that Zhang Chen paid more attention to, the later "Snow King" Dirk Nowitzki only scored 2 points and 4 assists.

"Hey, boys, it's training time." Assistant coach Stan Van Gundy greeted him.

After such a long offseason and lockout period, head coach Pat Riley is not very satisfied with the player's state, just like yesterday's game, if it wasn't for Zhang Chen's unexpected outbreak, the Heat would have been thrown into chaos by the Pistons. The gun was shot dead.

"Zhang, you feel very ordinary today."

In the group confrontation, Zhang Chen was still assigned to the substitute group. Without the crazy shooting card, he naturally returned to his previous training level. Fortunately, due to yesterday's performance, he had more opportunities and the statistics looked more beautiful.

"I'm a competitive player, so why would I be a little timid during training?" Zhang Chen said cheekily.

The training intensity of the Heat is very high. Under the deterrence of Pat Riley, no one dares to be lazy.

Originally, because of the words that I am a contestant, Zhang Chen planned to practice shooting, but there was another game the next day, and he had to fly to the away game overnight. It is conceivable that the life of flying around is about to begin, especially In this shortened season, the schedule is very dense.

The Heat's second game was an away game against the New York Knicks. At this time, the Heat and the Knicks could only be said to have a slight grievance, and they had not yet become enemies. Pat Riley didn't know that he would be defeated by his disciple Jay Husband Van Gundy took the Knicks black eight, and lost to this disciple in the playoffs year after year, missing the best chance for the Heat to reach the top at this stage.

The game between the Heat and the Knicks is a master-apprentice battle, a defensive battle, and a center battle. Although the Knicks have "Central Shooting King" Alan Houston and "Madman" Latrell Sprewell on the outside, their The core of tactics is still the 37-year-old Patrick Ewing.

Facing Mourning at his peak, Ewing was already somewhat powerless.

In this game, Zhang Chen is still playing as a substitute. His opponent is the "madman" who was sent to the Knicks because of the "chokehold incident". It is rare to meet an All-Star substitute.

幸好斯普雷维尔还没有适应尼克斯,长时间没打球状态也没有恢复到最佳的状态,张辰12投7中拿下15分7个篮板4个助攻,球队也以83比79拿下了比赛的胜利。

Then the team continued their road trip, losing 91 to 94 to the Charlotte Hornets.

Zhang Chen scored 12 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists as a substitute, scoring fewer games than one game. The media began to be a little disappointed with him, thinking that he was embarrassing and useful.

To be honest, as a rookie at the end of the second round, it is not bad for Zhang Chen to have this result, but the surprise of the first game has already raised the expectations of others. If his score continues to decline, the team may position him as a role player At the same level, the chances of offense will also be reduced, and it is very likely that it will be difficult to score in double figures in the next game.

Immediately after the game against the Hornets, they will return to home court to play back-to-back Boston Celtics on February 2th.

This kind of high-intensity game process is really a bit difficult for the Heat's outsiders.

When Zhang Chen arrived at the training hall that day, he was called to head coach Pat Riley's office.

"Zhang Chen, if you start today's game, do you have confidence?" Pat Riley said calmly.

"Confidence." An idiot said he had no confidence. Zhang Chen was not as young as he appeared on the surface. He knew that the United States did not pay attention to subtlety.

"Listen to me, Zhang, if you start, I have a request. I will let you play against Paul Pierce, and your performance will be better than him." Pat Riley finished speaking, looking very seriously. With Zhang Chen.

Paul Pierce, that is the man who claims to have mastered all offensive methods before entering the NBA. It is extremely difficult for Zhang Chen to get rid of Pierce, but the opportunity is not lost. He gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Coach, I'll do my best."

"Go for it, don't stress, perform well and you'll get a lot of chances in the team."

Coming out of Pat Riley's office, Zhang Chen was not calm anymore, saying that it was easy to go all out, but he couldn't rely on his mouth to confront "Truth", even though it was a rookie version of "Truth".

After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a good way to defend Pierce. This guy's offensive methods are too rich, so he can only concentrate on his attitude. Fortunately, the Heat have someone inside. If Pierce wants to rush in and make a dunk, Still not that easy.

Because the current Celtics are just like the Pistons. They are an outside shooting team. No, it should be said that they are more thorough than the Pistons. Like their current top scorer "Fat Toutuo" Anthony Walker, staying at the power forward position They are often pulled out to shoot three-pointers.

So with good teammates, Zhang Chen doesn't have a little chance from time to time.

In addition, although Paul Pierce has good strength and average athletic ability, speed and jumping are not his specialties. Zhang Chen is afraid of a guy who has no physical fitness. After all, he has played for many years and still has some experience. .

The most important point is that although Pierce claims that there is no solution to offense, there is still solution to defense. It is not that he is not good at defense, but that he habitually focuses on offense and his defensive attitude is not outstanding.

After thinking about this clearly, Zhang Chen decided on the strategic policy for this game, attacking talent, defending attitude, mentality must be strong, experience... I hope it can help a little.

Now the team's record is 2 wins and 1 loss, and Zhang Chen has accumulated 2 victory points.

For this game, he decided to spend two victory points.

Taking advantage of the noon training break, he ran back to the room alone and entered the basketball controller system.

Seeing the system elf lying lazily on the chaise longue, Zhang Chen still asked seriously: "Xiao Ye, I want to exchange these 2 victory points for an intermediate training to train attack ability alone, what do you think?"

"It's up to you, but it's impossible for you to beat Paul Pierce with just an intermediate training session. According to the system's historical database, the Heat lost this game." With a little hostility.

"I also checked the historical database. In it, I lost the first game against the Pistons. I haven't won yet. No game in this space-time history has happened yet. I can change history." Zhang Chen was a little annoyed. road.

"Come on, it's all thanks to the crazy shooting card." Xiaoye snorted coldly. In fact, before the game, she didn't decide that a crazy shooting card could change the outcome of the game. Zhang Chen's performance in the game still made her Somewhat surprised.

"I admit it, but I want to beat Paul Pierce in the next game. Even if I am not his opponent, I will find a way to beat him. I choose competitive basketball just to pursue victory. No matter how strong the opponent standing in front of me, I will always try my best Do everything you can to win, if you think you will lose before you fight, I might as well just be a white-collar worker."

"Xiao Ye, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"Why, what do you want to bet on? Don't allow any bad thoughts." Xiao Ye looked at him with strange eyes.

Zhang Chen didn't care, "If I can beat Paul Pierce, you agree with me, how about it?"

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, did this man want to be recognized by her? In fact, she was just a system elf after all. After Zhang Chen understood the system, she had no way to mess it up.

"Well, it's hard to say one game, two games, and the Heat's opponent is the Toronto Raptors. You have a chance to play against Vince Carter, Paul Pierce and Vince Carter, and you don't say you want to beat them. As long as you don't fall behind in the face of them, I will truly agree with you, if you can't do it, let me be the master in this system space, how about it?"

Xiaoye tentatively said, this is a good opportunity. These two rookies with the best performance this season are the two. Zhang Chen should not be able to fight against the two of them now. She tricked Zhang Chen into signing the agreement. It's good to have the dominance of the space.

Zhang Chen clenched his fists and ignited his fighting spirit, "Okay, I will definitely get your approval."

Also use this as his motivation to move forward.
