The next day, the Pistons officially announced that Stuckey was diagnosed with a fracture of his left ankle and would miss at least 6-9 weeks.
First, he broke his hand in the preseason and was out for two months, and then broke his ankle in his first show after returning. Stucky was also selected by the media as the second unluckiest guy of the 2007 generation.
Question: Who is the unluckiest person?
There is no doubt that it was Oden, the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft. After being drafted, Oden immediately underwent minimally invasive knee surgery, which also caused him to miss the entire rookie season.
Injuries are always a topic that cannot be avoided in sports competitions.
How many geniuses have died due to injuries?
How many players are suffering every night due to injuries of all sizes?
Even if players return from injury, they still have to go through a long recovery and break-in period to adapt to the game again.
This is a kind of physical and psychological torture.
After seeing Starkey break his foot in front of him, Chen Yan also re-formulated his plan to add points. In subsequent games, he will store part of the honor points so that when the injury strikes, he will have enough points to purchase recovery.
Potion.
The prerequisite for a great career is to have a healthy body. Chamberlain, Jordan, Kobe and James all explained this very well.
On January 8, the Phoenix Suns continued their away journey, this time their opponent was the Denver Nuggets.
The Pepsi Center, home of the Nuggets, is the famous Devil's Stadium in the NBA. In addition to the fanatical fans, the altitude of 1,606 meters also makes many visiting away players feel miserable. After all, no one likes to play under hypoxia and altitude sickness.
The Suns played very hard tonight. In the first three quarters, the score was tight for both teams, and the winner was decided in the last two minutes of the game.
In the end, the Denver Nuggets narrowly defeated the Phoenix Suns 103-100 at home, ending the latter's 8-game winning streak!
Chen Yan was in average form tonight, scoring 20 points and 5 assists on 7-of-16 shooting. Stoudemire and Nash also performed mediocrely, neither scoring more than 20 points.
For the Nuggets, Iverson scored 21 points and 7 assists, and Anthony scored 19 points and 6 rebounds. The firepower of the golden guns was downgraded by a notch compared to before.
It can be said that the scene of today's game was taken away by the role players of both sides.
On the Suns side, Azubuike, who came off the bench, exploded and scored a team-high 23 points!
Grant Hilli also scored 17 points on sudden outside shots, including 4 of 4 from beyond the three-point line.
On the other side, the Nuggets were even more exaggerated. Jr. Smith hit 14 goals in 22 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 38 points!
Fans all joked that he used the Jordan Experience Card today.
In fact, sometimes it is not necessarily only superstars who cannot defend, the sudden explosion of talented players is also difficult to guard against.
At the beginning of the season, Chen Yan was also defined as a crazy player by some media because they had never seen such an exaggerated scoring performance by a rookie. However, as the season progressed, people realized that this was just Chen Yan's routine operation.
The loss of this game did not affect Sunshine's mood. A season is very long, and players must be mentally prepared to deal with various difficulties, including losing.
On January 10, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Sacramento Kings 113-91 at home.
It was too easy to win this game. Only Artest, Kevin Martin and Brad Miller scored in double figures for the Kings. The top scorer was 'Crooked Machine Gun' Kevin Martin's 21 points.
.
Both Artest and Martin have good scoring abilities, but neither of them are top scorers. In addition, after Mike Bibby left the team, the Kings did not have a reliable organizer. No one on the team averaged more than 5 assists per game.
With neither a strong offensive point nor a linker, it would be difficult for a team like this to gain a foothold in the Western Conference.
The Sacramento Kings are currently ranked 11th in the Western Conference. There is basically no hope of entering the playoffs this season. The Kings management has begun to think about reconstruction work.
Not surprisingly, the Kings management will send away several veterans, including Artest, this summer, and then build a younger team around Kevin Martin.
Chen Yan only played 25 minutes in this game and scored 17 points. He clocked out of work before half of the third quarter and didn't even break a sweat...
One day later, the Suns continued to sit at home and faced the challenge of the Bobcats.
Although they were back-to-back, the sun was very relaxed up and down. The bobcat was the belly of the fish and posed no threat to the sun.
The game went as expected. The Suns took the lead from the first minute and maintained their advantage until the end.
117 to 93, the Suns finally won the game at home without any bloodshed.
Suns post-game statistics: Stoudemire had 44 points and 11 rebounds, Nash had 19 points and 11 assists, Chen Yan had 21 points and 10 assists, Diaw had 10 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, and Laja Bell had 11 points.
The Suns' starting five all scored in double figures. Facing Okafor's weak defense, Stoudemire exploded tonight, scoring 41 points by himself!
Seeing that Stoudemire has a strong desire to attack tonight, the entire Suns team turned into big men and took turns making cakes for him. Chen Yan also gave up part of his shooting rights and continuously provided assists to Stoudemire.
When Chen Yan is in good condition, his teammates act very selflessly, so when his teammates have a strong desire to attack, Chen Yan has no reason not to pass the ball to them.
Although four Bobcats scored in double figures, the highest score was Richardson's 16 points. Lack of firepower was an important reason for their loss.
January 12th, still at home, the Suns’ opponent tonight is the Philadelphia Digital Team.
Since Allen Iverson moved to the Nuggets, the 76ers have been missing a backbone. Iguodala is not suitable to be the cornerstone of the team. His ability and defense are good, and his golf intelligence is okay, but he only lacks leadership skills.
, he is more suitable to be the second boss than the boss.
Moreover, Iguodala's playing style is too selfless. Even if the team arranges tactics around him, he can't average 20 points per game. As the leader of the team, such firepower is undoubtedly unqualified.
In the end, under the collective bombardment of the shooters, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Philadelphia Digital Man by 30 points 119-89!
Once a team like the Suns takes full shots, it is a massacre. This is also the fifth time this season that the Suns have defeated their opponents by more than 30 points in a single game. After the game, the media called the Suns the NBA's tragedy-causing machine!
After winning against the 76ers, the Phoenix Suns ushered in another 4-game winning streak!
After more than half a season of running-in, the Suns' new players have gradually begun to have a chemical reaction. Although Chen Yan has not scored explosively in recent games, his tacit understanding with his teammates on the court is obviously better than before.
grade.
Although his scoring average has dropped, Chen Yan is more relaxed, comfortable and at ease on the court.
He himself enjoyed this feeling.
The new players on the Suns' bench have also gradually integrated into the team, especially two players, Azubuike and Barnes, who were both former Warriors players.
The Warriors and Suns have similar offensive concepts, both focusing on crazy running and gunning, so when they come to the Suns, they don't need to spend too much time to adapt to the offensive and defensive rhythm here.
Barea has adapted well. He is a fast and agile player, and he can maximize his strengths in such a run-and-gun system.
On January 19, the Phoenix Suns lost to the Atlanta Hawks 101-103.
There is no other reason for this defeat. There are 82 regular season games in a season. No matter how strong the team is, it will feel tired, and no matter how strong the team is, it will capsize.
Then the Suns went on another winning streak. In the last game of January, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 102-91, achieving a perfect ending to January!
Overall, the Suns performed very smoothly throughout January, with a good record of 11 wins and 3 losses.
Chen Yan averaged 22.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.9 steals per game in January.
Since entering January, Chen Yan has played more rationally and as a team, and his teammates are all in good shape in January. The substitutes are also full of firepower, and Chen Yan does not need to bear too much personal offense.
Frequent clocking out of get off work in three quarters also affected Chen Yan's scoring average to a certain extent, but even so, Chen Yan still leads the league's scoring list with an average of 31.5 points per game.
After the game, many media said that Chen Yan's average data per game had declined compared with the previous one, and it was very likely that he had hit the rookie wall!
When Chen Yan scored 63 points in the third quarter and scored 40 points in six consecutive games, the outside world's standards for Chen Yan have reached a new level.
50 is remarkable, 40 is normal operation, 30 is average, 20 is enough to go back and write a review...
Chen Yan did not respond to this. This is too ridiculous. The NBA is not playing 2K. Kobe Bryant, who is as strong as Jordan, cannot score 3,040 points in every game. Besides, he is still a rookie on a championship team.
But his Suns teammates couldn't sit still.
Stoudemire was the first to jump out and defend Chen Yan: "I don't know what some outside media are thinking. They called 2256's performance as hitting the rookie wall? Which company has such a high rookie wall? It is recommended to dismantle it!
"
Raja Bell: "I think some people don't understand the concept of 2,256. This number can win the Rookie of the Year in any year, any year!"
Nash's answer was more serious: "I don't think Chen has hit the rookie wall. On the contrary, I think his performance is better than before. He has been perfectly integrated into the team. He can help us win more easily on the court.
"
Grant Hill: "When I saw this news, I didn't know how to refute it. Is this asking Chen to use the standards of peak Jordan?"
The 2007 rookies collectively fell into silence after reading the news.
You call this hitting the rookie wall? Have you considered our feelings?
