After winning the Trail Blazers, Chen Yan also tied Iverson's rookie season record of 5 consecutive 40 games!
After his personal rating evolved to S level, Chen Yan also ushered in an explosive period.
"God! This guy can play NBA as easily as I can play video games!"
"Chen will grow into the best scorer in history, I have no doubt about it!"
“Thank you to the Pioneers for giving us such a great gift!”
"This will be the best trade in Suns history!"
"Chen will start a great career journey with the Suns!"
"Go! Young man, help the Suns win the first championship in history and win your honor!"
Many Suns fans expressed their support for Chen Yan on social media.
After dealing with the Trail Blazers, the Suns flew non-stop to their next destination, New Jersey. Their first opponent in the 2008 regular season was the Nets.
This year's New Year's Eve was spent by the entire Suns team on a plane, which was very special for Chen Yan. He had never had such an experience before.
But the veteran players in the team have long been accustomed to it. The NBA schedule is very tight, and players have to spend most of their time on the plane except for training and games.
The next day, the league announced the Eastern and Western Players of the Month and Rookie of the Month for December.
Chen Yan and Durant won the Eastern and Western Rookie of the Month titles without any suspense.
Durant's performance is one level higher than other rookies, while Chen Yan's performance is one level higher than Durant's.
Then the league announced the Eastern and Western Players of the Month.
Eastern Conference Player of the Month for December: Dwight Howard.
Western Conference Player of the Month for December: Kobe Bryant.
Chen Yan's data exploded last week, but the monthly best consideration is the player's performance for a month. Chen Yan's performance at the beginning of the month was average, and coupled with the suspension crisis in the middle of the month, he failed to win the Western Conference Best of the Month in December.
Jia was also within his own expectations.
Kobe averaged 29.1 points, 6.5 assists and 7 rebounds per game in December, and the Lakers achieved a good record of 11 wins and 4 losses this month. He deserved to win the Player of the Month award.
January 2, Continental Airlines Center Arena.
During the warm-up period before the game started, Carter took the initiative to say hello to Chen Yan.
This was the first time the two met each other, but Carter seemed very enthusiastic.
During the conversation, Carter repeatedly expressed his appreciation for Chen Yan.
Carter's appreciation for Chen Yan is not only at the basketball level, but Carter is also full of praise for the hit single that Chen Yan wrote for Swift.
Many people only know that Carter is extremely talented in basketball, but do not know that he is also quite accomplished in music.
Carter is very good at playing the saxophone, served as the conductor of the band in high school, and even received a music scholarship. It is no exaggeration to say that his musical talent is not inferior to his basketball talent.
Of course, what Carter admires most about Chen Yan is his courage to show off his punches in the arena, and he defeated the dirty Bowen with a combination of punches.
This is also something Carter has wanted to do over the years but has not been able to do it.
Chen Yan also gave Carter a backhand blow, telling him that he had grown up watching his games and was obsessed with his dunk balabalabala...
In short, the sophistication of human relations is the exchange of business blows. Chen Yan understands this trick very well.
After the pre-match warm-up period, the match officially begins.
The Nets have the three Musketeers of Kidd, Carter and Jefferson. They look good on paper, but their record is an embarrassing 10th place in the Eastern Conference.
The team has not been able to achieve the results expected by the fans in recent years, and a large part of the reason is due to the salary of the three people.
In today's league where the salary cap is only 50 million US dollars, the salaries of the three of them have exceeded 40 million US dollars. This means that the team has no extra money to introduce outstanding role players. The team currently has no other players except the Three Musketeers.
Averaging double figures in points per game.
In addition, the Nets' inside strength is at the bottom of the league. After sending away Kenyon Martin, the team management strengthened European center Kostic.
Kostic has some offensive skills, but his defense is very poor. In addition, his overall style of play is also soft, which makes him very disadvantaged when facing off against those dark and hard players in the league.
Stoudemire taught Kostic a lesson right from the start.
First, he made a tough breakthrough and scored 21 on Kostic, and then he received some assists and suddenly dunked the big white man!
With two consecutive hits in the opening game, Stoudemire directly detonated the Suns bench.
Krstic on the side could only shake his head and sigh, he had no temper at all after being beaten.
The inside line was opened, and the Suns' outside shots were also easier. Under Stoudemire's control, Chen Yan hit two consecutive three-pointers!
The Suns blossomed both inside and outside, leading the Nets by 17 points at halftime.
In the second half, the Nets opened up their posture and went toe-to-toe with the Suns. Strictly speaking, the Nets are also a run-and-gun team. Their best scoring method is Kidd's fast break, with Carter and Jefferson flying together on both wings.
.
Under the gorgeous bombing of Carter and Jefferson, the Nets once closed the point difference to single digits at the end of the third quarter.
Just when the Nets saw the dawn of victory, the Suns' three-point team came online again in the fourth quarter!
A rain of three-pointers turned the Nets players into drowned rats.
Shooting is the magic weapon that the Suns rely on for survival. Once they surrender, few teams in the league can withstand it.
Under the strong attack of the Suns, the Nets raised the white flag in the second half of the final quarter.
The Suns ultimately defeated the Nets 109-91.
In 36 minutes of playing time, Chen Yan made 14 of 21 shots, including 8 of 11 three-pointers and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 40 points in his sixth consecutive game!
Chen Yan also successfully broke Iverson's rookie season record of 5 consecutive 40 games!
Chen Yan did not deliberately set records for these scores, everything happened naturally.
This is the difference between a scoring machine and a brush.
The score of the scoring machine is always based on helping the team win, while the brush only cares about its own data, regardless of whether the team wins or loses.
After the game, Nash gave Chen Yan a big hug on the bench.
In his eyes, Chen Yan is not only a scoring machine, but also a machine that helps him get assists.
Nash currently averages 13.1 assists per game. If this number remains until the end of the season, then he will break the highest assists per game average in his career in a single season!
