Chapter 201 The Return
"I know you, let's have a drink together." The boss of the gang, who had obviously drunk too much, slapped the table and yelled at Zhang Chen.

Why does this guy look familiar? Could it be that he is similar to a character in a gangster movie?

He didn't know if it was the bodyguard or the guy next to him, and he didn't care if he was going to drink to death, so he asked the waiter to bring another cup.

Zhang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, did he still have fans in the gang?

"You play basketball very well..." The other party opened his mouth but said vaguely.

It's over, I'm really a fan, I hope I won't bother him anymore if I ask for an autograph.

"You said what kind of results your Warriors will achieve in the playoffs this season."

Zhang Chen didn't expect the other party to be concerned about this. No matter what the other party's status is, he must be full of confidence in such a question, "Championship, we only have this goal."

"Hahaha..." The other party laughed loudly, "If you were not injured, I would still believe it. Now that you can't even play, why would the Warriors win the championship?"

Zhang Chen said seriously: "Don't underestimate my teammates, they are all great, and most importantly, I will definitely come back in the playoffs."

"Come back, you won't be able to play this season, well, even if you can come back, can you lead the team to win the championship as soon as you come back after not playing for such a long time." The opponent obviously didn't believe it.

Zhang Chen was a little depressed. He secretly thought that the leader of the gangster knew what basketball, and said he couldn’t do it. So what if he was a gangster. He said disdainfully: “Yes, I’m that strong. Come back, whether it's with a strong team or with a team that doesn't look that strong."

"Oh..." The other party laughed strangely, "You mean you can lead the team to win the championship no matter what team you are in. I have seen arrogant guys, but this is the first time I have seen you so arrogant. .”

"Of course, there are no underdogs in the NBA. Many teams just lack a good leader. As long as the team cooperates with me, I am confident that I will always win the championship."

"Arrogant enough, it suits my appetite, what if you can't win the championship."

The other party repeatedly questioned Zhang Chen, who was already in a bad mood, and he slapped the table heavily, which startled the other party, "If I can't win the championship, I will retire. What to stay for, then I will buy a team and continue to build a team that can win the championship."

After he made his bold words, the other party smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and left with the group of men in black behind him.

After yelling a few words, Zhang Chen also figured it out. He was not afraid of anything on the court, but off the court he was afraid. He left the business club and went directly to Zhang Xiaomeng's residence in New York.

It was very late, he had stayed in the business club for too long.

He had a key to Zhang Xiaomeng's residence, so he opened the door and went in, and saw Zhang Xiaomeng in home clothes.

"Xiaochen, why are you here? You're drinking..."

"Zhang Xiaomeng, you are not allowed to fall in love with that kind of person." Originally, I wanted to come over and make it clear, but maybe I haven't recovered from the high emotions just now, so I said it like this.

Zhang Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, her face was a little ashamed and angry, she gritted her teeth and said, "You drank too much."

Did you mess it up? I can't control that much anymore, Zhang Chen's heart swayed, he took a step forward, hugged Zhang Xiaomeng's mouth and kissed her.

"What are you doing, Xiaochen, we are siblings."

"Not dear, I like you, I don't want to be your brother."

Zhang Chen thought that Zhang Xiaomeng would resist violently, and then slapped him a few times to drive him out. In that case, he didn't have any illusions anymore, so he could do whatever he wanted.

Unexpectedly, the other party just resisted a few times and stopped struggling. Afterwards, Zhang Xiaomeng gently wiped his sweat for him, and said angrily, "What can you do if you are so reckless and hurt your feet again?"

Zhang Chen smirked, thinking of the past few years, Zhang Xiaomeng's various good things, such a good woman finally lay in his arms, feeling full of happiness.

"Xiaochen, what should we do if we are like this." Zhang Xiaomeng frowned, feeling full of femininity.

Zhang Chen reacted quickly now, "Then marry me, we are not related by blood."

"You, you..." Zhang Xiaomeng patted him lightly, but his eyes were full of sweetness.

It wasn't until Zhang Chen plucked up the courage to ask about the news the next day that he realized that it was a misunderstanding. Zhang Xiaomeng was just talking about investment with others, and it was completely nonsense from the guy who wrote the article. Zhang Chen liked this, which made him The relationship with Zhang Xiaomeng has taken a big step forward.

The relationship changed, and he reluctantly returned to the team after a few sweet days in New York.

The team's game has entered the final stage, and the playoffs are about to start, and Zhang Chen will also start to participate in part of the team's joint training.

In the west, the Warriors, Kings, Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks and other good teams are hitting the final ranking, while the Sonics and Jazz are competing for the final playoff spot. As for the tenth-ranked Clippers, basically There is no chance.

The East is much more intense. The Nets, Pistons and Celtics are vying for the top three spots. The Hornets, Magic, 76ers, Raptors, Pacers and Bucks are vying for the top five. The playoff spots, their records are not much different, who will enter the playoffs, which team will get the home court advantage, it is still not clear at all.

"I'm recovering very well, and I think I can come back in the playoffs." Zhang Chen issued a statement on his personal website.

The Warriors sometimes said that Zhang Chen could come back, and sometimes said that he would rest assured that he would not take the risk of making a comeback. Anyway, various arguments made this matter even more confusing.

Whether it was smoke bombs or something else, no one can figure out.

On April 4th, without Zhang Chen, the Warriors tried their best and lost to the Kings 11:116, giving up the first place in the Western Conference that had occupied almost the entire season.

As for the rankings of other teams in the West, the results were not available until the last game. The Jazz lost two games in a row in the last two games, while the Supersonics withstood the pressure and won in the last game, pushing the Jazz out with an advantage of one more win. In the playoffs, Malone and Stockton were unable to stand on this stage for the first time since they partnered in 17 years.

The Mavericks lost a game and fell from third to fifth, while the Spurs climbed from fifth to third with a nine-game winning streak.

In the East, the Bucks lost a key game, and the Pacers put the Bucks on the stage of the playoffs with a five-game winning streak. The Nets won the first place in the East with their stable performance. After Zhang Chen left in the East, the strength of the team became even more chaotic.

In this way, the situation of the playoffs came out. In the East, the No. 76 Nets played against the No. [-] Pacers, the No. [-] Pistons played against the No. [-] Raptors, and the No. [-] Celtics played against No. [-]. The [-]ers, the Hornets at the fourth, the Magic at the fifth.

In the West, the No. [-] Kings against the No. [-] Supersonics, the No. [-] Warriors against No. [-] Trail Blazers, the No. [-] Spurs against No. [-] Timberwolves, and the No. [-] Lakers against No. [-] Mavericks.

The situation in the first round of the playoffs is the same as in the previous two seasons. The East feels that everyone’s strength is relatively close. The team is stronger, but there is also an accident in the middle, that is, whether Zhang Chen will return to the Warriors who have not yet been determined.

It’s really hard to say which team is better without Zhang Chen and the Warriors and Trail Blazers. After Zhang Chen was injured, the two teams played against each other twice and won once each. According to the analysis, the Trail Blazers who rank lower may still have a slight advantage. After all, what the Warriors lack is an absolute core.

A guess is just a guess, and everything can only be known after the game starts. The day before the official start of the playoffs, the Warriors announced that Zhang Chen, who had already entered the playoff roster, would not play in the first game.

Zhang Chen's current situation is that he is doing all kinds of training. There is no problem with the confrontation in the team, but he has not recovered 100%. It's not easy to be alive and kicking in the next month. If you have to fully recover and come back, it is estimated that you will get to the finals.

Can the Warriors reach the finals without Zhang Chen? Although the teammates vowed to do their best and wait for a 100% Zhang Chen, the reality is very difficult.

Rasheed Wallace and Pippen broke out at the same time, and both played their best performances since joining the Trail Blazers. Statistically speaking, Pippen even showed the Bulls' second three consecutive championships. Demeanor, Gerald Wallace is still a little tender, and this situation has been infinitely magnified in the playoffs.

91:92, 96:103, the Warriors lost two games in a row and stood on the edge of a cliff. In these two games, they played well in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, they lacked a final player.

The Warriors need Zhang Chen. If Zhang Chen can't come out to save the team, there is a high possibility that there will be a "black 7" situation in the West.

"I think I can help the team win the game as long as I give [-]% of my strength. Now I can give [-]% of my strength. First of all, I want to apologize to the fans. I am too perfect. I always want to return to [-]% I will play again when the time comes, and now I have decided that I will recover to [-]% on the court, and victory is the best medicine."

After Zhang Chen publicly announced his intention to play, his name appeared in the starting list of the Warriors.

"MVP, MVP..." The fans who welcomed Zhang Chen cheered. This is an away game, but the fans who came to support him still filled the entire arena with their voices.

Oakland, countless fans are cheering, like they have won.

They held up huge banners, The Return of the King.
