Chapter 122 Causes heated discussions, big hands are also a talent!
Both sides had high shooting percentages in the first quarter. At the end of the quarter, the score was 29 to 26, with the Suns temporarily leading by 3 points.
Chen Yan almost played the entire first quarter, making 4 of 6 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 13 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal.
The Rockets are not the Knicks. Defense is their foundation. To have such a performance in the first quarter can be considered very efficient.
Dayao's first quarter statistics were 4 points and 3 rebounds. Dayao only hit two high jump shots in the first quarter.
It's not that Dayao's offensive desire is not strong, but that he is not the core of the offense in Adelman's Princeton system.
In the current Rockets, Yao's position is more like a support center.
Dayao on the bench was obviously unhappy. This was not the way he liked to play.
The second quarter started quickly. On the Suns side, Hill and Barnes led two young players, Azubuike and Barea.
The offensive burden of the Rockets has been handed over to McGrady's substitute Luther Hyde.
The biggest reason why the Rockets have stagnated for so many years is not Yao Mai, but their bench.
Basically there is no one who can play, and they can barely score some points in the regular season. In the playoffs, there are often embarrassing scenes of collective scoring failure.
To be honest, Luther Hyde's ability is not wanted by the Suns at the water dispenser. The Rockets management regards him as a treasure and the first substitute on the perimeter.
Rockets owner Alexander wants the team to have a good record but doesn't want to spend money. How is this kind of good thing possible, where he wants the horse to run but doesn't want the horse to eat grass?
Although Barea and Azubuike are both players with basic salaries in the Suns, they were both players selected by Chen Yan with the vision of a time traveler, and their strength far exceeds their worth.
Not to mention Hill, the successor to Jordan and the former king, even with only 5 hits, he can easily defeat the Rockets' second team. Matt Barnes is also a veteran with rich experience and good combat effectiveness.
The Rockets' second team lost by 7 points in 4 and a half minutes of playing time, thanks to the newly introduced player Diamond Scola this season.
The Argentinian is still reliable. His half-shot baskets and continuous fantastic moves in the paint help the team keep bleeding. Otherwise, the Rockets' second lineup would have been destroyed by now.
With the return of the main players of both sides, the score gradually stabilized.
After halftime, the Phoenix Suns led the Houston Rockets by 9 points, 53-44.
Dayao's performance in the second quarter was similar to that in the first quarter. After halftime, he scored 9 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks. This data can only be regarded as quite satisfactory for him. The new season has only started a month, and he is still a little uncomfortable with Adelman.
The tactical system constructed.
Chen Yan scored a half-high 22 points. Battier's defense did not put much pressure on him. In the first half, except for an offensive foul committed by Chen Yan, Battier had no other outstanding performance on the defensive end.
Most of the time, Battier was pinned to the ground by Chen Yan and rubbed against him. Because Chen Yan always runs and plays under the Suns' system, Battier's mobility is destined to be difficult to deal with players like Chen Yan.
Chen Yan likes a good-natured defender like Battier. There is no interference from small movements, so Chen Yan has enough space to make moves. During fast breaks, he doesn't have to worry about someone playing tricks behind him or doing bad things to him.
commit.
"Batier can't guard Chen Yan. If the Rockets don't double-team Chen Yan in the second half, he will probably have to run for another 40 minutes tonight!" Director Zhang said cheerfully in the studio during the halftime break.
"In fact, Battier has already followed some of the balls in place, and even said they hit Chen Yan's face, but he just couldn't prevent them."
"No matter how good the defensive master is, he can't limit an excellent point guard. He can only try to increase his physical consumption and increase the difficulty of his shots to reduce his shooting percentage. Kobe is unreasonable and has nothing but the basket.
Nothing can be defended, and let's take a look at it from another person. Is the Bad Boys defensive enough? Jordan also has to get as much as he should get in every game."
Directors Su Qun and Xu seemed to be analyzing objectively, but in fact they were criticizing Chen Yan...
During the halftime break, D'Antoni did not make any special tactical arrangements in the locker room. It would not be a big problem to continue playing like the first half and accept the victory.
Compared with the first half, the Rockets players' physical strength will definitely decline in the second half, and the Suns' tornado fast play will definitely be able to break through their defense more easily.
The second half started quickly.
Both sides sent out their starting lineups.
McGrady comes up with his signature dry pull!
"Whoa!"
The basketball hits the net like a cannonball, and the output is full of frame-breaking effects!
T-Mac's shooting arc is very low, almost flat, which is his long-standing shooting habit. The back injury made McGrady's take-off height far less than that of the Magic, which is why his shooting percentage dropped.
Looking back, Chen Yan broke through with a European step and passed the ball to Nash on the outside. The old man raised his hand at a 45-degree angle and hit a three-pointer, giving Tracy McGrady one!
McGrady turned around and made another three-point pull-up!
The arc of this ball was lower than that of the previous round, and the ball hit the front of the basket and popped out hard!
Suns offensive and defensive transition!
Outside the three-point line, Nash and Raja Bell made a mistake in the cooperation, and the ball was successfully stolen by Alston!
Chen Yan stepped forward to counter-steal. Alston combined the ball in time, jumped up and passed the ball to Dayao near the center circle.
The moment Dayao caught the ball, Diaw rushed forward!
The scene was a bit chaotic for a while!
Just when everyone thought Dayao was about to lose the ball, he made an impromptu unlucky move and passed Diaw cleanly!
Then, facing an open space in front of him, Yao Yilong succeeded in a one-handed dunk!
This ball is so awesome!
The away fans all applauded Yao Ming. This kind of scoring method is not common among big men.
"What a ball! So beautiful!"
"This is what the little guard does!"
"Yao Ming used the Suns' offense to score two points!"
The three commentators in the studio all had orgasms. It was very shocking for a big man of nearly 230cm to make such an action!
In the next few minutes, the score difference between the two sides remained at a stalemate of 8-10 points.
At 6 minutes and 46 seconds into the third quarter, chaos once again occurred in the Suns penalty area.
McGrady missed a layup, Yao Ming also missed a tip-in, and the ball was poked by Stoudemire and rolled outside the penalty area.
Chen Yan quickly lowered his waist, grabbed the basketball with one hand before the Rockets players, and then sprinted towards the frontcourt without any lag!
"Oh! Is this a suction cup or a hand?"
"Just like Spider-Man, the ball sticks directly to his hand."
"Catching a ball is like grabbing a toy!"
The three commentators joked about Chen Yan's big hands.
McGrady, who was standing behind him, was dumbfounded. He also likes to hold the ball with one hand, but he always catches the ball with one hand while stopping, while Chen Yan catches the ball with one hand while moving!
Talent is not just height, wingspan and running and jumping ability. Big hands are also a kind of talent, and they are very important.
It is because Jordan has a pair of big hands that his shooting is more stable.
Moreover, big hands are more conducive to fake movements. With big hands, you can grab the ball and swing it around. If you think he is going to shoot, you are actually lying to him, he is going to break through.
You think he is going to break through, but actually he is preparing to shoot.
Just when you thought he was going to pass the ball, he took the ball back to the limit.
This kind of happiness is something Kobe cannot feel.
Zen master Phil Jackson once said that the difference in hand size between Jordan and Kobe is one of the important reasons for the gap in strength between them.
Outside the three-point line, Chen Yan knocked Alston away in an in-out motion!
Immediately after a big bad luck, he got rid of Battier and started directly!
Battier's defensive awareness was in place. After Chen Yan's bad luck, Battier followed up with his first step. However, the gap in athletic talent prevented Battier from keeping up with Chen Yan's subsequent operations.
In the penalty area, facing Chuck Hayes, Chen Yan dunked directly!
"Boom!!!"
The Suns bench collectively ejected to its feet, and the entire arena erupted into cheers like a roaring tsunami!
It is not difficult for Chen Yan to perform this series of actions alone. The difficulty is that he is as smooth as a child, and he even has a dunk at the end!
As a 198cm floor-level insider, Hayes had no choice but to watch him take off.
Hayes has always worked hard, but hard work is the least valuable thing in the NBA. Which player in the top league doesn't work hard?
After the dunk landed, Chen Yan, bursting with adrenaline, shook his hands at the camera.
Uncle Mu, who was injured on the Rockets bench, was dumbfounded: I only shook one finger once I blocked a shot, but you kid just shook 10 fingers for a dunk?
Suns defensive play.
Because Chen Yan was too excited, he made a mistake when double-teaming Dayao to grab the ball, and his palm was directly stuck on Dayao's face...
Although the ball was called a foul, the picture of Chen Yan covering almost Yao Ming's entire face with his big hands quickly spread to the Internet!
Netizens exclaimed: "Chen Yan used his palms to define Dayao as a slap face!"
Then, more photos of Chen Yan’s big hands were uploaded to post bars and forums by netizens.
Photos of Chen Yan with his arms around Stoudemire's waist during training, photos of Chen Yan drinking mineral water on the bench, and a close-up of Chen Yan holding the ball with one hand...
Netizens were typing their keyboards and leaving messages under the forum. Chen Yan’s big hands sparked heated discussions!
"These big hands are as big as Jordan's!"
"Chen Yan's hands have magic, turning Dayao into a slap face and Xiaosi into an A4 waist!"
"He drank the mineral water and it felt like oral liquid."
"This is talent!"
"These big hands are invincible. I was born to play basketball!"
"His hands are bigger than my head!"
"I'm a G-cup, so it's perfect for me to be Chen Yan's girlfriend!"
