Chapter 146 The away game is the home game, Chen Yan narrowly beats the Raptors!
63 to 48, the Phoenix Suns entered the halftime break with a 15-point lead.
During halftime, all fans were discussing two things.
One is the incident of Pierce falling to the ground and flying, and the other is Chen Yan scoring a crazy 40 points in the half.
Some fans even began to imagine whether Chen Yan could break Kobe's single-game record of 81 points tonight.
This kind of thinking is normal. Ever since Kobe scored 81 points, he has become the NBA scoring benchmark in the hearts of fans.
As for Chamberlain's 100 points... although this is an officially recognized statistic, it is too old after all and is a matter of ancient basketball.
The second half started quickly.
Suns starting lineup: Nash, Chen Yan, Grant Hill, Diaw, Stoudemire.
This is a purely offensive lineup, and it can be seen that Suns coach D'Antoni intends to solve the game in the third quarter.
Raptors starting lineup: Calderon, Anthony Parker, Jason Kapono, Bargnani, Bosh.
Attentive fans have discovered that Pierce was not on the Raptors' starting lineup for the second half. After the incident before halftime, Pierce was already dead. He simply pretended to be injured and had no intention of playing in the second half.
At the beginning of the second half, Nash and Stoudemire played a perfect pick-and-roll, and Stoudemire took the ball and shot from mid-range.
"Bang!"
The trajectory of this ball is very positive, but it has a little more power.
Just when Bargnani turned around to collect the defensive rebound, he suddenly felt a huge impact behind him!
"Boom!!!"
Chen Yan slammed the ball into the basket through Bargnani!
Bosh had already been moved out of the penalty area when he was guarding Stoudemire's pick-and-roll. The Raptors only had a soft-ass Bargnani inside, who couldn't stop Chen Yan at all.
The broadcast camera specifically gave a close-up of Bargnani's butt, and then switched to a long shot after seeing that his white shorts were clean.
The fans laughed when they saw this scene. This broadcast shot was too bad. They wanted to see if Bargnani's Xiang was beaten by Chen Yan like Pierce.
With this make-up dunk, Chen Yan kicked off the second half of his performance!
Quick transition between offense and defense, chasing three-pointers during counterattacks, and cutting without the ball during positional battles!
Chen's strong desire to attack and his hot touch allow him to do whatever he wants on the court!
With 7 minutes and 56 seconds left in the third quarter, Chen Yan's personal score had risen to 50!
Bargnani and Calderon also scored three points one after another. Entering the second half, the Raptors' outside shooters also had good sights. Otherwise, the score would have been lost under Chen Yan's impact.
At this moment, Durant was a little panicked in front of the TV.
He didn't have a game tonight, so he lay on the sofa and watched the game.
As a result, the more Xiaoshuai looked at it, the more something seemed wrong!
"We're not going to break the record again, are we? Why don't we double-team Chen?"
The coach looked puzzled and said he didn't quite understand Raptors coach Sam Mitchell's defensive decision-making.
In the next offensive round, after Chen Yan and Stoudemire completed the pick-and-roll, Bosh and Anthony Parker surrounded Chen Yan.
Seeing this scene, Xiaoshuai nodded with satisfaction, this is right.
"Whoosh!"
As a result, Chen Yan was forced to fight in the double team between the two, and Xiaoshuai was completely silent. Why did the Raptors' double team look like paper in front of Chen Yan?
...
...
Entering the second half of the third quarter, Chen Yan started playing without the ball.
Compared with attacking with the ball, attacking without the ball saves more energy and can further improve Chen Yan's scoring efficiency.
"Whoosh!"
In the positional battle, Chen Yan used Diaw's screen to receive a pass from Nash and hit a three-pointer!
"Digging! Still hitting? Is scoring really that simple for Chen Yan?"
"The rhythm is really cool. It seems like scoring is as easy as drinking water."
"It's already 55 points! The Suns played so selflessly tonight, especially after entering the second half, a bunch of people rushed to feed Chen Yan the ball!"
"I suspect that Sam Mitchell is a mole. Isn't this a double-team?"
"It was the same last time when Kobe scored 81 points. I admire Sam Mitchell's courage."
"Hahaha, it's best to defend Chen Yan alone in the whole game. It's so cool to watch him score points!"
The fans were discussing it in a lively manner.
Following a 10-0 shock wave, the Suns extended their lead to 26 points 47 seconds before the end of the third quarter.
This is the style of the Sun, suddenly speeding up, and then a wave of attacks will kill you!
Looking at the huge score difference on the scoreboard, the Raptors die-hard fans have begun to leave the game, leaving only some ordinary fans and Chinese fans who came to watch Chen Yan's game.
Under the influence of Chinese fans, ordinary fans began to defect one after another!
Sun attack round.
At a 45-degree angle at the top of the arc, Chen Yan caught the ball and observed the gap in the middle.
Chen Yan made a feint to the right, then kicked his right foot to the left to initiate a cross-step breakthrough!
Anthony Parker was not very effective in guarding Chen Yan tonight, but this time he did not lose his position and kept up with Chen Yan.
Outside the small penalty area, Chen Yan suddenly turned around after collecting the ball and knocked Anthony Parker away with just one click!
Chen Yan rarely makes fake moves when shooting. This round he played a psychological game with Anthony Parker.
Obviously, Anthony Parker was fooled.
"Whoosh!"
When Anthony Parker was falling, Chen Yan took off and scored from close range. The shot was made with a perfect time difference!
After the ball was scored, Chen Yan's personal score in this game had risen to 63 points, and the Raptors were plunged into a sea of cheers at home!
The fans in front of the TV all said that something was wrong!
"This is the Raptors' home court? The cheers from the home fans are outrageous!"
"Chen Yan turned the away game into a home game!"
"The fans have already enjoyed Chen Yan's performance."
"Just sit and wait and the whole audience will cheer for MVP!"
Amid the revolt from Raptors fans, the third quarter ended quickly.
93 to 62, the disparity between the two sides indicates that this game has lost its suspense.
After Chen Yan returned to the bench, the broadcast cameras kept tracking him.
Soon, a line of subtitles was printed under Chen Yan’s screen:
Chen Yan, Phoenix Suns, SG, personal score in this game: 63 points.
This is the second time Chen Yan has scored 60 this season, but the difference from the last time is that this time he only spent three quarters!
The entire Raptors team only scored 62 points in three quarters!
"63 to 62, Chen Yan narrowly defeated the Raptors by one point!" Big-mouthed Klee joked about the Raptors in the TNT studio.
Due to the large point difference, the Suns' five starting players did not appear in the fourth quarter.
In the end, the score was settled at 119-79.
After the game, Durant silently turned off the TV.
63 points in the third quarter, no need to think about it, Chen Yan's name will definitely be on the headlines tomorrow.
The only thing Xiaoshuai is glad about is that there is no game tonight, and his mother no longer has to worry about being robbed of her headlines!
