148 2008, the ecstasy of January
148 2008, this ecstasy month
It was coming soon at midnight, and everyone who was still lively gathered in the square. Zhang Chen hadn't seen so many people together for several years, and he was really uncomfortable.
Everyone was counting down: "60...50...40...30...20..." The sound waves surged, "10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0!!!" Everyone applauded together after shouting.
2008 is here.
Nina beside her clasped her hands together and lowered her head, as if she was making a wish. Zhang Chen looked at her in a daze, and the night wind blew up her straight hair. Her extremely delicate face was shining brightly with the lights, as beautiful as a totem.
The New Year's Eve bell is still lingering in my ears, and people in the square are very excited. Zhang Chen was even a little surprised that there is anything to be excited about such a day without any special one, but then I think about it and it is understandable that life is too boring to live like this to find some spiritual comfort.
Nina lowered her head in the crowd and kissed her hands together. Zhang Chen didn't know what she meant. Under the light, Zhang Chen clearly saw the sadness gradually disappearing on her face and the slowly outlined smile. Zhang Chen felt inexplicably happy, but Zhang Chen did not ask if Nina had recovered from the sadness. She maintained that position for more than three minutes, and seemed a little out of place in the joyous crowd.
Zhang Chen didn't know what to do for a long time... After thinking about it, he stretched out his right hand with a trembling shaking and gently patted her shoulder. At this moment, Zhang Chen suddenly wanted her to know her existence.
About five minutes later, Nina put away her hands, turned her head, and said with a hint of uneasiness in her clear eyes, "Chen, thank you for making me happy tonight. Can I hug you... I know you orientals may not be used to this, but I want to express my gratitude."
Zhang Chen was a little stunned for about two seconds, then suddenly reacted and said, "Of course..."
Nina leaned over carefully, gently hugged Zhang Chen's waist, and leaned her head over. Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, but still stretched out her hands and gently surrounded her back.
A faint sweet but not greasy fragrance came from Nina's body. Zhang Chen knew that this did not belong to any perfume known in the world, but should be a natural body fragrance for Nina.
Zhang Chen and Nina hugged gently in the square, breathing the early morning air of the first day of the New Year, with a little dampness and coolness of midnight. They didn't hug for a long time, and Zhang Chen's eyes involuntarily closed, the light of the street lights shining on his head, and the crowds around him were getting farther and farther away from them. At this moment, it seemed that there were only two people hugging each other in the world.
"Thank you, Chen... It's time for me to go back." Nina left Zhang Chendi's arms and smiled at him.
Zhang Chen nodded, suddenly feeling a little empty in his heart, and then he suddenly remembered something and said, "I'll give it to you."
Nina nodded in agreement: "Thank you."
The car slowly speeded forward, Zhang Chen drove the road steadily, and the street lights on both sides kept regressing in his sight. Zhang Chen kept sending Nina to the bottom of her residence, watching her back gradually disappear into the light on the ground.
After accidentally looking at the rearview mirror, Zhang Chen saw his ignorant smile on it.
When he returned to his residence, Zhang Chen's first thing was to comb his face and hair, then wash up, and lie on the bed to start this training day and earth.
Tomorrow, the Suns will go to the away game and challenge the 76ers again.
In the first month of 2008, Zhang Chen spent such a game.
On January 28, 2008, Zhang Chen pushed open the door and walked in and fell on the bed, thinking nothing. Today they lost to the Hornets away, which was their last away game this month.
The consecutive away games these days have almost broken Zhang Chendan. He often has to live a wandering life on the plane, and he is really scared.
The continuous away games have put his body in an extremely exhausted state. Every time he returns from such a road trip, Zhang Chen has to sleep hard, and it is the same today.
He fell on the bed and Zhang Chen slept soundly.
For the past month, Zhang Chen has patiently honed his speed in the training space every day. After this month of real-life virtual two-pronged training, Zhang Chen's speed level has climbed from level three to level five, and he has accumulated a large amount of experience in level five.
The big dog released in the space became more and more fierce, and the intensity of speed exercise training outside the field was getting higher and higher, but Zhang Chen still gritted his teeth and persevered.
I got used to it while biting my teeth, and I survived this month.
What made Zhang Chen the most unexpected gain was his talent adaptive training. After a month of combined exercises, Zhang Chen's physical fitness has improved a lot.
"oh...chen...I want you to tell me seriously again, are you really nineteen years old? Are you sure you are not a five-year-old child?" Team trainer Allen looked surprised and sighed, and there were a lot of unbelievable things mixed in it.
This is the fifth time Zhang Chen has explained this question: "Hey... do I look so young? It's very much like a five-year-old child?"
Allen spread his hands in surprise: "So why is your strength practice progressing so quickly? Oh my god... it's a miracle. You really don't look like a nineteen-year-old guy."
"Is it very old at the age of nineteen?"
"I am improving at a speed relative to your strength... Chen, you hear me, the most surprising thing is that your talent has actually begun to grow... This is simply unheard of. To be honest, I kind of got you into the American Center for Abnormal Human Research on Slicing Research."
Whenever he heard this, Zhang Chen fled in panic and sighed that the trees were so beautiful that the wind in the forest would destroy them.
What makes people sigh at the fastest progress of Zhang Chen is naturally not his strength, but his speed. In the past month, although the outside teams have not reflected much about this. Because Zhang Chen's running position has always been very coquettish, although Zhang Chen's speed has helped him run more inexplicably, no one was too surprised.
However, the players of the Suns are different. They can see Zhang Chen's speed improvement very intuitively. From the thin and tall guy who just joined the team, they have become the person who is much stronger and faster now. They see it in their eyes.
D'Antoni expressed his appreciation to Zhang Chendi in front of the media more than once: "He is a hard-working player, and he can know when he should do what... He is a very qualified player, and he can see him practicing in the stadium every time. Moreover, he is still improving, which is incredible. I mean, his progress speed has exceeded our expectations."
"oh... I can only say that he worked harder than my rookie season. You know that God always likes to favor hard-working people more, so he achieved much greater achievements than my rookie season." Nash also praised Zhang Chen to the media.
Praise Zhang Chendi not only these two people, but also Xiao Si: "Chen is a very good rookie. He is always polite. This is just like his football skills, which makes people feel very comfortable."
Zhang Chen made a lot of the limelight for the league rookie in January.
This season, his three-point shooting percentage reached 61.4 and his two-point shooting percentage reached 58.7. These two data not only need to instantly kill all rookies, but also win all active players in the league.
With such a high shooting percentage, Zhang Chen's average score this month also rose to 19.7 points, becoming the second scorer in the mainland. At the same time, he also climbed to the second highest average score per game in the rookie month, and Durant's 21 points still surpassed him.
This month, a new round of disputes about the best rookie began. To be honest, Zhang Chen is indeed a bit worse than the data, but when it comes to shooting percentage, Durant can't catch up with Zhang Chen.
In December, Zhang Chen had won the league's Rookie of the Month, which surprised everyone, and domestic media were exaggerating it. This month, the question of which Zhang Chen or Durant deserves the Rookie of the Month has once again begun to be on the table.
Phoenix Fans said: "I think Zhang Chen should be the best rookie in Earth Moon. Everyone knows how Kevin's data came from. His 21 points average score was exchanged for a 43 shooting percentage. But when we turn our attention to Chen, we will find that his shooting percentage is as high as 61.4 and 58.7. I have to say that this should be an unprecedented data achievement. Compare the efficiency of the two of them, and you will find who should vote for the best rookie."
Also keeping this view, Thomas, a columnist of Phoenix Fans Network, said: "Chen should have won this award without any dispute. His hit rate has exceeded everyone's expectations for him, and his efficiency is also ranked high in the league. We cannot ignore the efforts of such a great guy. We should turn our attention to his strengths, instead of saying bad things about him all day long. We should give young people more tolerance and opportunities, and their performance can surprise us."
Of course, there is light, there is darkness, and there are support, there are oppositions. Among them, the Washington Post's opposition to Zhang Chendi is quite sharp. They wrote in the newspaper: "For Chen's performance, maybe his shooting percentage is relatively high, and his scoring is also good, but we must also see some truth hidden behind the gorgeous data! You must know that the criterion for our selection of a best rookie is not about his data, his shooting percentage is how good he is. We should also look at his comprehensive performance. Kevin did a good job in this regard. He can shoot and score a breakthrough... But let's see Chen's performance... It's so pitiful. Breakthrough only accounts for 0.2 of his scoring methods. This is really a surprising data. From this perspective, we have no reason to make him the best rookie."
This guy's remarks were also met with opposition, but he raised a more useful question to Zhang Chen: Zhang Chen does not seem to have any attack methods except shooting!
Suddenly, the discussion about Zhang Chendi entered a new stage.
Chapter completed!
