Chapter 177 Shaking shoulders and dancing with anger, both enemies and friends
Not to mention Chen Yan, Zhang Lili was very happy when he saw this scene in the TV5 studio.
"Oh, these two Celtics didn't wake up or something, so they left such a big vacancy for Chen Yan!"
Director Xu also smiled and said: "Both of us were stunned by this ball. It seems that Rivers's expression on the sidelines seems to be very dissatisfied with the team's defense in this round."
Celtics offensive possession.
Rondo held the ball high at the top of the arc, and Durant shot out from the wing.
Rondo didn't choose to pass the ball, he had his own ideas.
A lob, Rondo passed to Al Jefferson inside.
Only when the inside line is opened, Durant will have more opportunities on the outside line. Otherwise, given Durant's level at this period, it would be difficult to kill the Suns by himself.
Although he is only in his second year, Rondo's performance on the court is very mature.
Al Jefferson singled out Diaw after catching the ball!
After two blows, he shook his shoulders continuously, and then turned around and hit the board with a small hook!
3 to 4!
Although Al Jefferson's footsteps on this shot can't be called dreamy, they are definitely superb!
Al Jefferson is also one of the few solid insiders in the league today.
Looking back, the Suns attack the round.
Diaw once again went to the high post to hold the ball to support, and Chen Yan used the screen of Raja Bell to get around and catch the ball from a 45-degree angle.
This scene is almost exactly the same as the Suns' last offensive possession!
But this time the situation was opposite. Durant and Tony Allen did not stay in a daze, they both rushed forward together!
Chen Yan gently passed the ball to Laga Bell beside him.
Taking advantage of the moment when Durant and Tony Allen were distracted, Chen Yan passed through the gap between the two with an accelerated ball!
Laga Bale did not take credit for it and hit the ground and handed the ball back to Chen Yan.
The two played a beautiful 2-2!
Facing Perkins who was on defense, Chen Yan made an in-out crotch change and directly stunned Perkins. He got to the basket and succeeded in a back dunk!
5 to 4.
Perkins was so cumbersome that Chen Yan's simple change of direction made him lose his way.
Looking at Durant and Tony Allen on the outside, Perkins hammered the ball with some complaints.
He was very dissatisfied with his teammates' defense. Wouldn't it be a public humiliation for him to let Chen Yan come in and challenge him?
"Cheer up! Follow your own people! Be decisive in defense!"
On the sidelines, Celtics coach Rivers roared three times in a row. He was very dissatisfied with the Celtics' opening defense.
Fortunately, KD raised his hand to his teammates in time. Although Durant was the core of the tactics on the court, he basically had no airs and would take the initiative to apologize if he made a mistake.
When the Celtics attacked in this round, Durant chose to play singles with the ball.
After continuous mistakes on the defensive end, Durant decided to make amends on the offensive end.
"Clang!"
An emergency stop from the high post, Durant's ball bounced out of the frame!
The moment Diaw took the ball, the Suns launched a counterattack!
Diaw was very imaginative. After grabbing the rebound, before turning around, he passed the ball behind his head to find Nash!
After receiving the ball, Nash advanced at high speed, forming a 2-on-1 situation with Chen Yan in the frontcourt!
Lao Na made a wonderful move and found Chen Yan by passing the ball without looking at anyone.
After receiving the ball, Chen Yan counterattacked and shot a three-pointer directly!
"Whoa!"
He can draw an eagle bow like the full moon and shoot an arrow through the net!
8 to 4.
"Good shot! This ball was passed beautifully and shot decisively!" Kenny Smith shouted in the commentary box.
"Chen's desire to attack tonight is very strong. He has scored 8 points in a row since the beginning. It seems that the recent media reports about him hitting the rookie wall have had a certain impact on him." Barkley said on the sidelines.
"Those reports are pure nonsense, but I hope there will be more similar reports so that we can see Chen's crazy scoring performance." Kenny Smith said with a smile.
Celtics offensive possession.
Rondo dribbled and called Al Jefferson to come up and cover.
After the pick-and-roll, the two completed the connection.
Al Jefferson caught the ball and scored two points steadily.
8 to 6.
Although Du Xiaoshuai is the Celtics' key training target, Al Jefferson is currently the Celtics' most stable scoring point.
"Back to defense! Back to defense!"
After the ball was scored, Rondo desperately directed the defense. As the team commander, he knew the characteristics of the Suns' running and gunning.
Seeing that there was no chance for a fast break, Nash kept the pace and carried the ball across the half court.
Stoudemire used the top of the arc as a wall, and Nash relied on his screen to rush to the free throw line and recover Mochizuki, handing the ball to Stoudemire.
Stoudemire got the opportunity to attack facing the frame, but he did not choose to attack by himself, but passed the ball to Chen Yan.
Stoudemire usually rarely provides support, but he is willing to help Chen Yan. He saw Chen Yan's desire tonight.
Stoudemire scored 40 points twice in January. In these two games, Chen Yan transformed into a big man and fed him well with Nash, so Stoudemire reciprocated the favor tonight.
After receiving the pass from Stoudemire, Chen Yan leaned over and wiped it in. Tony Allen was very close to him, not giving Chen Yan any space to start.
Tony Allen's defensive ability and attitude are absolutely beyond words.
Chen Yan didn't pick up the speed, nor did he forcefully start, he suddenly stopped and pulled back!
Chen Yan handled the ball very smartly. While pulling back, he took a sideways step and used Stoudemire's body to block Tony Allen's defense.
There was room for the shot, but not completely.
Durant rushed over at the same time as Chen Yan took action and completed the defense from the flank!
Chen Yan only had eyes for the basket at this time. He ignored Durant's defense and directly took the ball from the top of the arc!
"Beep!"
The moment the shot was taken, the referee blew his whistle.
Chen Yan was also knocked down by Durant's impact!
"and-one!!"
While the ball was still flying in the air, Chen Yan shouted on the ground.
This is not to show off, this is his confidence in his own actions.
"Whoa!"
The scimitar of the full moon entered the net in response!!!
Stoudemire and Nash quickly stepped forward and pulled Chen Yan up.
After getting up, Chen Yan's excitement did not diminish, and he did a very sexy shoulder-shaking dance in front of Durant for the camera!
Before stepping to the free throw line, Chen Yan did not forget to pat the handsome man on the butt: "Come on, KD, you can almost guard me."
Chen Yan rarely takes the initiative to talk trash, but Durant is an exception. Their relationship is very special. Although the two are brothers, they also have a competitive relationship. This feeling is a bit like frenemies.
