Chapter 154 The famous scene, Kobe and Chen Yan ballroom dance!
"Hahaha, you give me an elbow, I give you an elbow, how about these two exchanging Christmas gifts?"
“With the intensity of this confrontation, people who didn’t know it would have thought it was the playoffs!”
"Playoffs? This is at least the finals level?"
"I personally think it's a boxing match level..."
"Two men who refuse to admit defeat, I like to watch this kind of confrontation!"
On domestic basketball forums, the comments from fans seemed very excited.
From a sensory perspective, this transcendent confrontation between Chen Yan and Kobe is really exciting!
The game continues.
The Suns' positional battle offense, Nash did not hand the ball to Chen Yan in this round.
To be precise, he didn't find a good opportunity to hand the ball to Chen Yan.
Kobe's defense was too tight, and the two of them were almost stacked on top of each other, so the risk of passing the ball was too great.
Nash called for a pick-and-roll, used Stoudemire's screen to continue moving laterally, and made one of his own from outside the three-point line!
"Whoa!"
63 to 58!
The Suns opened the score to 5 points.
Nash usually doesn't take any shots, and if he does, it's a guaranteed chance!
Looking back, Kobe suddenly stopped and fell back when facing Laga Bell's defense!
"Clang!"
Blacksmithing leaves no trace!
"Kobe spent a lot of energy on the defensive end in this quarter, which also affected his performance on the offensive end." Zhang Weiping said in the studio.
Bryant is indeed a professional basketball player. He directly ignored the defensive interference from Raja Bell in this round and attributed all the reasons why the ball did not go in to Kobe's own excessive consumption.
Sun attack round.
In this round, Stoudemire and Nash played a perfect pick-and-roll. Nash passed the ball to Stoudemire who was passing down. After the confrontation, the latter made a hard layup!
65 to 58.
Looking back, Garnett was in the post for a single, and he also had a signature shoulder-shaking turn-over jump shot!
65 to 60.
At this time, there are only 21 seconds left before the end of half-time.
Nash pressed the ball to the offensive half.
Nash held the ball at the top of the arc, and Chen Yan tried to go around the free throw line to catch the ball.
Kobe kept blocking Chen Yan from catching the ball!
Thus, the famous scene was born!
I saw in the TV broadcast footage that the two began to be entangled, and the intensity of the entanglement was getting bigger and bigger!
In the end, the hands even clasped together, and the body began to move rhythmically!
Seeing this scene, fans at home and abroad laughed.
"Hahaha, are Kobe and Chen doing ballroom dancing?"
"It makes me laugh so hard. Two big men over 1.9 meters tall are interlocking with each other in public."
"Are these two people fighting each other and showing feelings for each other?"
"Put a rose on Chen Yan's mouth and it would be perfect..."
"Beep beep!"
The referee couldn't stand the game anymore and directly gave it a foul on both sides.
This foul had to be given. The referee was worried that if he allowed the two of them to continue like this, they would see a hug and wrestling scene next.
...
...
The first half of the game ended quickly, and the score between the two sides was temporarily fixed at 65-60.
cctv5 released a comparison of the halftime data of both sides during the halftime break.
Chen Yan made 12 of 19 shots in the half, including 5 of 7 three-pointers and 2 of 3 free throws, scoring a half-high 31 points.
The Lakers' highest score in the half was Kobe's 29 points.
The two of them can be said to be at odds with each other.
After entering the locker room, Chen Yan changed his jersey specially.
Playing against Kobe was too physically demanding. He sweated so much during the first halftime break that his previous jersey was already soaked with sweat.
In the Lakers locker room, Phil Jackson pulled Kobe aside alone.
"Kobe, don't waste your energy competing with that rookie, put more energy into the offensive end, and use offense to destroy them!"
"OK, Phil, I know what to do."
Kobe nodded. In the face of team victory, Kobe was willing to temporarily put aside his personal desire to win.
The 15-minute halftime break ends and the second half begins.
Lakers starting lineup for the second half: Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Radmanovic, Garnett, Kwame Brown.
This can be said to be the Lakers' most powerful lineup on both offense and defense.
The Suns sent Nash, Raja Bell, Grant Hill, Boris Diaw, and Stoudemire.
In the third quarter of the game, D'Antoni temporarily let Chen Yan rest on the bench, preparing to let him lead the bench to rush the Lakers' defense in the second half of the third quarter.
In the second half, Kobe and Garnett rushed to the basket and drew fouls continuously, and they were very energetic in chasing points at the beginning.
However, the Suns did not give the Lakers a chance to chase points. As long as Nash and Stoudemire are here, the Suns' offense is absolutely guaranteed.
The game lasted 6 minutes and 12 seconds, the two sides battled to 76 to 74, and the Suns still held a 2-point lead.
Judging from the data, both sides' shooting percentages dropped after entering the second half.
This was not because there was a problem with the feel of the players on both sides, but because the shooting percentages of both teams were relatively high in the first half, and they returned to a normal state after entering the third quarter.
On the next dead ball, both sides make substitutions.
The Suns replaced Nash, Bell, and Stoudemire, and replaced Barea, Chen Yan and Azubuike.
The Lakers removed Garnett and Kobe to give the two core players a chance to rest.
Chen Yan was on full fire as soon as he came up, looking for misplaced opportunities to continuously beat 'Old Fish' Fisher in singles!
As a powerful defender, what Lao Yu is most afraid of is a dexterous defender like Chen Yan. It can be seen that Fisher works very hard on defense, but the gap in footwork and speed cannot be made up by hard work!
Chen Yan continuously held the ball to break through his defense, not only scoring points himself, but also helping Azubuike and Barea open their scoring accounts!
In less than a minute and a half, Chen Yan led the team in an 11-1 offensive frenzy, directly leading the team to stop the Lakers!
After calling a timeout, 'Zen Master' Phil Jackson gave the bench a look.
Kobe and Garnett took off their pants knowingly, and it seemed that they were going to play again before their butts got hot.
