Chapter 129 Stop the Spurs twice and overtake Parker in the corner!
"The Spurs called a timeout, and under the leadership of Chen Yan, the Suns' bench lineup showed their momentum!" Yu Jia said.
"Hey, don't tell me, this is the advantage of young players. They rush in with energy and dunk!" Zhang Weiping said.
The Suns' three consecutive dunks made the two commentators in the TV5 studio excited to watch!
"Great fight! Keep fighting like this!"
On the bench, D'Antoni kept clapping to encourage the players on the Suns' second team.
On the other side, on the Spurs bench, Popovich kept emphasizing that Chen Yan must be double-teamed when he holds the ball.
Popovich knows that it is unrealistic to defend a singles master like Chen Yan by one person.
Return from the timeout and the game continues.
The Spurs constantly look for opportunities through passing the ball from the outside.
With 12 seconds left in the attack time of the round, Ginobili held the ball high and wanted to cover.
Bonner stepped forward to build the wall.
The pick-and-roll used by the Spurs' second unit is a little different from the regular pick-and-roll. After Bonner screens, he doesn't go downhill but goes to the outside.
Ginobili held the ball and went in, and suddenly passed the ball from behind!
Not only is his breakthrough awesome, Ginobili's passing is also awesome.
But the unbridled passing is always accompanied by a high error rate. If you pass it well, you will be a highlight of the five best goals. If you pass it poorly, you will be a highlight of the five greatest embarrassments.
There was a slight problem with the tacit understanding between Ginobili and Bonner in this back pass, causing Bonner to almost make a mistake in catching the ball!
After the adjustment, Bonner had missed the opportunity to shoot, and Ginobili went around to catch the ball again.
After such a torturous round, the attack time is only 6 seconds.
Ginobili continuously dribbled the ball, stepped back and shot a three-pointer.
Barnes pounced, knowing that the Spurs' attack time was running out. Ginobili could not escape the constraints of the attack time no matter how many tricks he tried.
"Bang!"
Barnes interfered with Ginobili's shot.
The moment the basketball was played, all members of the Spurs began to retreat.
Chen Yan sent a ground pass near the center circle and directly penetrated the Spurs' last line of defense!
Ginobili reacted quickly and stretched his legs to block.
But the ball was so fast that it passed by his calf!
Barea took quick little steps, caught the ball and made a layup!
28 to 30.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! What pass? What pass is this?"
This game was also broadcast live across the United States. Kenny Smith showed an incredible expression in the TNT studio.
Tonight, the commentator with Kenny Smith is his old partner Barkley.
Barkley smiled: "If I hadn't seen Nash lying on the billboard, I would have thought he passed the ball just now."
Kenny Smith also laughed: "It's a very creative pass, but the ball speed is a little too fast. I don't know if Barea's palm is still good now."
Barkley: "If Chen often passes this kind of penetrating ball, I suggest that the Suns players use a baseball machine to practice catching the ball. This will have a higher success rate."
Amid the ridicule from the two TNT commentators, the Spurs failed to attack again.
Ginobili went inside to cause damage. This shot was too deliberate to find a foul, and the referee did not call it.
Chen Yan quickly advanced after grabbing the rebound!
Although the defensive strategy is still the same as before, the Spurs' second lineup is obviously a beat slower than the starting lineup due to their age.
The success rate of the Suns' counterattack was obviously much higher than in the first quarter.
All members of the Suns dispersed to create room for Chen Yan to break through.
Chen Yan suddenly stopped outside the three-point line!
Upon seeing this, Barea and Azubuike rushed directly to the basket, which could ensure the team's offensive rebounds. The two were willing to become blue-collar workers next to Chen Yan.
Facts have proved that the rushing action of the two of them was unnecessary.
"Whoosh!"
Chen Yan raised his knife and dropped it, chasing after him and hitting him!
This kind of chasing three-pointers accounts for a high proportion of Chen Yan's three-point shots. Chen Yan is very confident in shooting and his rhythm is very smooth!
31 to 30.
With Chen Yan's three-pointer, the Suns took the lead!
"Beep!"
In less than two minutes, Popovich called the second timeout.
Popovich is a little helpless. Although the Spurs' second lineup has limited talent, its strength is definitely among the best in the league. Unexpectedly, they were blown away by the Suns tonight.
On the bench, Nash, Diaw and Raja Bell took turns high-fiving Chen Yan, and Stoudemire excitedly slapped Chen Yan on the butt.
Chen Yan led the second team to even out the previous score difference, and it was much easier for the main players to come on stage.
After returning from the timeout, Suns coach D'Antoni still has not made any personnel adjustments. The Suns' substitutes are in good condition and he does not plan to change the lineup at this time.
For the Spurs, Popovich replaced Bowen and Parker. The purpose of this substitution was obvious, to increase offensive points while strengthening defense.
Duncan is still on the bench. Popovich has always been cautious in using Duncan. After finally selecting the No. 1 pick, will it take 20 years?
Before going on the court, Popovich specifically told all the players to guard against Chen Yan's breakthrough with the ball. If necessary, they can release shots, but they must not let Chen Yan enter the Spurs penalty area again.
Although Chen Yan made a chasing three-pointer before the timeout, most of his scoring tonight was completed through breakthroughs.
Spurs restart.
Parker passed half court and exchanged hands with Ginobili.
Ginobili took two sharp steps, then pulled back and passed to Parker.
After receiving the ball, Parker cut straight to the basket. When Azubuike came over, Parker made a signature top turn.
Hit the layup on the board to help the Spurs successfully stop the bleeding.
31 to 32.
With two top breakthrough players, Parker and Ginobili, on the court at the same time, the pressure on the Suns' interior defense suddenly increased.
The Suns served from the baseline, and Barea made a singles gesture after passing half court.
Barea did not make this gesture for himself, but for Chen Yan.
After making the gesture, Barea quickly handed the ball to Chen Yan.
Everyone spread out, Bowen defended alone.
Bowen was dirty, but his defensive skills were still online.
From 2004 to now, he has been on the defensive team every year. In 2005, 2006, and 2007, Bowen ranked second in dpoy votes for three consecutive years. The Spurs are the absolute defensive powerhouse on the outside.
In addition to serious defense, Bowen also has many unreasonable defensive skills, such as foot stepping, flying kicks, eye pokes, tripping, and attacking the opponent's lower body with his knees whenever he has the opportunity...
Against Bowen, Chen Yan not only had to find a way to put the ball into the basket, but also had to avoid his additional attacks.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Chen Yan constantly mobilized Bowen's focus by dribbling back and forth.
Bowen's steps were steady and he didn't lose his position.
Chen Yan suddenly started to move after a crotch move!
Bowen did not choose to move laterally, and the defensive task assigned by Popovich was to shoot rather than break out.
Even if Popovich didn't arrange it like this, Bowen would choose to keep a distance from Chen Yan.
Bowen is not an iron-headed boy. He is very skilled and knows the difference in speed and explosive power between himself and Chen Yan.
The shooting space was already available, Chen Yan took a step forward and shot directly!
Bowen took a step forward, his hands did not interfere with Chen Yan, but his restless feet were quietly placed under Chen Yan.
Bowen didn't think about stepping in this round, but this action has become his muscle memory, and when he sees his opponent jumping up in front of him, he can't help but stretch out his black foot.
Fortunately, Chen Yan had a slight drift in the air during this dry move, and when he landed, he just avoided Bowen's black foot!
"Whoosh!"
Long two-point hollow hit!
33 to 32, Chen Yan helped the team overtake the score again!
The goal was scored very easily, but it was a bit thrilling when it landed, but it also reminded Chen Yan that Bowen must pay attention to the safety of his feet when defending himself...
Spurs offensive possession.
The 'French little sports car' held the ball and penetrated the inside line, and the Suns' defense line shrank.
The one guarding him is Barea, and Parker has a certain speed advantage, but it's not a big advantage.
After entering the penalty area, Parker did not choose to force the ball and moved the ball outside.
Bowen caught the ball in the bottom corner of the three-point corner, which was an opportunity.
Chen Yan, who was shrinking to the inside, rushed out and made a flying dive!
Chen Yan jumped very high, but he still allowed Bowen to take the shot smoothly.
The basketball drew an arc, but instead of falling into the basket, it suddenly fell while rising!
Chen Yan blocked Bowen's three-pointer from the bottom corner with his fingertips!
"Damn it!"
Bowen cursed angrily. This was the area he was most familiar with. If he hadn't been blocked, his shot would have probably been blocked!
The moment the ball drops, the Suns' offensive and defensive transition begins!
Chen Yan sprinted 100 meters towards the frontcourt! Bowen did not give up defense, but the distance between him and Chen Yan became wider and wider.
The physical talents of the two are not on the same level. Not to mention Bowen is 34 years old, even if he is 24 years old, he still can't see the taillights of Chen Yan's car.
At the logo, Chen Yan received a long pass from his teammate.
On the Spurs side, only Parker returned to defense for half the game.
The straight-line acceleration of the ‘French sports car’ is also extremely strong.
But basketball is about more than just speed.
Chen Yan is 198cm and Parker is 188cm.
Obviously, this is a misalignment.
Outside the three-point line, Chen Yan held the ball in his right hand and accelerated towards Parker's right side!
Suddenly, Chen Yan made a sharp change of direction and pulled the ball to the left, before Parker's center of gravity returned and went straight to the basket!
Chen Yan's change of direction was very large, like a motorcycle cornering at high speed!
If it was purely a straight line, Parker could keep up with Chen Yan, but he didn't expect that this guy, who was not a man of football ethics, suddenly made a turn!
Chen Yan said that fast is fast in corners. Who can't accelerator in a straight line?
After getting rid of Parker, there was only one problem left before Chen Yan.
That's what posture you use to complete the dunk.
Just when the fans at the scene and in front of the TV were ready to listen to the wailing sound of the basket, Chen Yan suddenly twisted in the air and made a freehand jelly layup.
You can deduct it if you use a pretentious call, but it's not necessary...
"What speed is it that Parker can't keep up with?"
"If you change direction and don't slow down, who the hell can survive it?"
"It's fast, but it's a little hard on the knees."
"Accelerate in the curve and forcefully overtake!"
"You don't care if it's overtaking, but it's obviously flying at a very low altitude!"
"What a cool move! I also broke through like this when I played in the afternoon!"
"I advise you not to learn it, because you can't learn it!"
"Chen Yan's final layup was so cool, especially the way his waist twisted."
Chen Yan's breakthrough made netizens on domestic basketball forums and certain basketball forums excitedly discuss it.
On the court, Parker spread his hands.
The coach asked me to release shots but not bursts. What should I do? Waiting online, urgent!
