Chapter 204 Rarely collapsed, making the Rockets' 22-game winning streak no longer exist?
Early the next morning, Chen Yan took the earliest flight back to Phoenix.
With the end of the All-Star Weekend, NBA has also ushered in the final sprint stage!
The current situation in the Western Conference is very unclear, with only three and a half games between the number one Suns and the sixth-ranked Rockets.
No one dares to be careless in the final sprint.
You can go from first place to sixth place by mistake. Is it exciting for you?
This is also the reason why Kobe injured his finger and insisted on playing with the injury without surgery.
On February 20, the first game after returning from the All-Star Weekend, the Suns faced the challenge of the Kings at home.
The American West Arena was packed for this game, and even the luxury private rooms were booked early. All fans wanted to see the new All-Star mvp!
Chen Yan was supposed to give a gorgeous performance of the hero's return tonight, which blew up the audience.
But the reality is...he collapsed.
The night before, Chen Yan and Swift had so much fun that they fought fiercely all night long.
This also directly caused Chen Yan's legs to be a little weak tonight, and his two dunks missed the frame and almost flew out of the Milky Way.
Swift was even worse. She was almost paralyzed during the day. Not only was her legs weak, but her throat was also a little inflamed...
In this game, Chen Yan made 7 of 18 shots and 2 of 4 free throws. He only scored 17 points and 4 rebounds.
This data is obviously unqualified for Chen Yan.
But the amazing thing is that Chen Yan is not the most outrageous performer in the Suns.
Stoudemire played 33 minutes in this game, making only 4 of 14 shots and 2 of 6 free throws...
According to US media reports, Stoudemire actually brought three strippers back to the hotel the night after the All-Star Weekend.
After seeing this news, domestic fans also joked: 1v3, Ning is the NBA version of Fengxian?
Chen Yan and Stoudemire were defeated, and the Suns were basically just dreaming about winning.
In the end, the Phoenix Suns lost to the Sacramento Kings 93-103 at home.
In addition to losing, the Suns also had bad news in this game, that is, team veteran Hill sprained his ankle in a fight with Artest.
Upon hearing the news, the first reaction of all Suns fans was that it was over.
Grant Hill's image as a glass man is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If he gets injured among these people, he will basically be out for the season.
But luckily this time, the team doctor diagnosed Hill's ankle injury as not serious, and he is conservatively expected to return in April.
This is good news for the Suns. Hill averaged 11.3 points per game this season and is an important firepower on the Suns' bench. In addition, he has experience, which makes him feel at ease leading the second team.
Feel.
On February 21st, the Phoenix Suns faced the visiting Memphis Grizzlies in back-to-back games at home.
The games after the All-Star Game were intensive, and the schedule was not very friendly to the Suns. However, the Suns were very capable of adjusting up and down. The team finally completed a comeback after falling behind by 5 points in the first half, and finally defeated the Grizzlies 109-97!
Chen Yan made a killing tonight, sweeping away the haze of the previous game and scoring a game-high 35 points!
24 of the points were scored in the second half. In the third quarter, they led the team to a 13-2 shock wave, establishing the victory in one fell swoop!
Chen Yan can be said to be the main contributor to the Suns' victory tonight!
After defeating the Grizzlies, the Suns also regained the feeling of winning.
On February 23, the Suns defeated the 76ers in an away game with a score of 121 to 97.
This game can be said to be a hearty victory!
The trident composed of Chen Yan, Nash and Stoudemire scored 71 points together, of which Chen Yan scored 29 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Suns' bench also performed well tonight. Azubuike and Barea both scored 15 points, and Barnes also had 10 points and 7 rebounds.
The young men of the Philadelphia 76ers were unable to withstand the fierce offensive of the Suns. They were behind from the first minute of the game and until the end of the game, it could be said that they were unable to fight back.
Both Stoudemire and Chen Yan have recovered their form, and the Suns are getting better.
On February 25th, the Phoenix Suns faced the Warriors in the same district this time. The two teams played offensive basketball. You came and I went back and forth. The scene was very exciting!
It was really fun to play this kind of game where both sides were undefended. Chen Yan made 14 of 19 shots from the field, including 5 of 7 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 36 points with super high efficiency!
Stoudemire also recorded a double-double with 25 points and 15 rebounds. Nash sent out an exaggerated 17 assists in the game. This kind of open game is his favorite.
For the Warriors, Baron Davis and Monta Ellis scored 24 points and 21 points respectively. From time to time, the two performed wonderful pulls or dunk performances, which were very enjoyable to watch, but their leadership ability was almost boring.
.
In the end, the Suns defeated the Warriors on the road with a score of 124 to 116!
With a three-game winning streak, the Suns continue their road trip, and their next opponent is the Houston Rockets!
It’s the much-anticipated Chinese Derby!
Although it is a second battle, the popularity of this game is still very high, after all, there are Chen Yan and Dayao.
Many fans stayed in front of the TV an hour before the game started.
Since entering February, the Rockets have been singing triumphant songs all the way, currently winning 12 consecutive games!
The team's explosive performance also gave Rockets fans the illusion that they could win the championship this year.
In Chen Yan's impression, the Rockets' 22-game winning streak should have occurred during this period.
Chen Yan didn't want to be a stepping stone for the Rockets' 22-game winning streak. Before the game, he worked hard to make the Rockets' 22-game winning streak no longer exist in this time and space!
