Chapter 208 The Rockets' 22-game winning streak is gone? More torturing Morey in the future
Rockets offensive round.
After halftime, Als still looked for Dayao.
In these rounds, Yao has been the Rockets' inside anchor. He hits one after another, very steadily.
Dayao got stuck to catch the ball, leaned on Stoudemire with his back and started playing singles!
"Bang!"
However, the moment Yao dropped the ball, Chen Yan pounced on him from the wing!
"Crack!"
Chen Yan succeeded in stealing the ball with lightning speed!
Chen Yan knew the timing of this steal very well. He spotted the moment when Dayao lowered his waist to dribble!
At this moment, Yao could neither protect the ball nor pass the ball. He could only watch the basketball being taken away by Chen Yan in front of him!
While stealing the ball, Chen Yan directly activated the team skill [Blitz Storm]!
Chen Yan takes great strides and advances with the ball!
As soon as the Suns' blitzkrieg started, Dayao and Scola were basically useless. Bunchy Wells gave up on the defense after running two steps. His body shape was a size smaller than Barkley's, and his huge butt allowed him to run.
It was very strenuous when I was doing it.
On the Rockets side, only Hyde and Alston returned to half court in time.
Chen Yan accelerated, attracted the attention of the two men, twisted his waist, and handed the ball to Azubuike outside the three-point line.
Azubuike makes a decisive move after catching the ball!
This is the Suns' playing style, whether they are the main player or the substitute, they shoot when the opportunity arises.
Azubuike felt normal when the ball was released, but the basketball still hit the back edge and bounced into the basket!
86 square meters!
Azubuike shook his fist excitedly. He didn't know that he had been buffed by [Blitz Storm].
"Pick up the tempo! Use speed to wear them down!" Chen Yan shouted at his teammates while returning to defense.
The responses from the surrounding teammates were very positive. Everyone knew that the best way to limit Dayao was to speed up the rhythm of offense and defense transitions!
Rockets offensive round.
Alston brought the ball across the half court and passed it to Dayao.
The former street ball king was a tool in the NBA. In addition to dribbling the ball across half court, his remaining task was to shoot one of his three-point shots that was not always smooth at all. It was very mechanical.
Dayao paused briefly after catching the ball.
In this round, Yao did not rush to play singles. He used his peripheral vision to catch Chen Yan, who was ready to attack at any time.
Chen Yan's speed and explosive power are an invisible oppression for Dayao.
Dayao still chose to distribute the ball after continuous testing.
Hyde received the ball from the outside and shot in the midfield.
"Clang!"
This ball is solid.
Before the lamentations of the home fans ended, the Suns' counterattack had already advanced past halftime!
This time, Chen Yan did not choose to distribute the ball. He stepped towards the basket and succeeded in a one-handed dunk!
"Boom!!!"
88 to 86!
The Rockets' next offensive possession.
Scola singled out Diaw and then turned around and missed the hook.
Chen Yan jumped up high, picked off the rebound and handed it to Nash.
The charge horn of the sun's counterattack sounds again!
Nash rushed to the frontcourt and found Chen Yan with a back pass.
Chen Yan immediately returned the ball to Nash after catching the ball.
The two played a duet in the Rockets' frontcourt!
Through continuous cooperation, Nash got an open opportunity with a three-pointer from the top of the key.
"Whoa!"
Nash flicked his wrist and got a three-pointer!
91 to 86.
At the same time, Chen Yan also sent out his 10th assist of the game!
"Steve, your three-point shot is solid!"
Chen Yan smiled and patted Nash on the back.
"Chen, the ball was passed beautifully, you did all my work tonight." Nash replied with a smile.
Chen Yan has received 10 assists so far, while Nash has only 8. Looking at the data alone, Chen Yan is even more like a point guard than Nash.
However, Nash's organization and connection cannot be reflected in the data. He is the brains of the team and the commander of the offensive end. Chen Yan knows this very well.
The Suns' continuous fast breaks made Dayao put on a mask of pain.
Dayao has been having a hard time playing in the past few minutes. He finally made some progress on the offensive end, but now he is lost in the Suns' running and gunning formation.
Seeing that the Rockets were showing signs of collapse, Adelman on the sidelines quickly pressed the pause button.
After the timeout, he replaced Wells and Hyde with Tracy McGrady and Shane Battier.
The Suns also made substitution adjustments, with Mustache replacing Azubuike with Laga Bell.
Both sides fielded their starting lineups.
McGrady took advantage of the breakthrough to cause a foul as soon as he came up, and then made one of two free throws to stop the team's bleeding a little.
However, looking back, the Suns played three consecutive waves of fast breaks, opening the point difference to double digits in one fell swoop.
The Rockets have always had the habit of collapsing in the final quarter, but this game has nothing to do with them, it's because the sun is too strong.
Rockets fans hope that McGrady can improve the team's offense after he comes on the field. However, the actual situation is that McGrady played too fiercely in the first three quarters, and McGrady's efficiency in the final quarter was greatly reduced due to excessive physical exertion.
With 57 seconds left before the end of the game, the Rockets trailed by 10 points, 93 to 103.
The Rockets fans at Toyota Center still haven't dispersed.
Ever since Tracy McGrady's miracle of 35 seconds and 13 minutes, fans here have rarely left the game early.
However, the reason why a miracle is a miracle is that it is accidental and non-replicable.
"Du~~~~~~"
The buzzer sounded at the end of the game, and the Suns defeated the Rockets in the away game 106-93!
Chen Yan played 35 minutes and scored a triple-double of 30 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds!
As soon as the game ended, the domestic media made Chen Yan famous with various news.
Now it has become a habit for these media to praise Chen Yan.
Dayao scored 14 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks. Dayao's performance was severely limited in the Suns' running and gunning formation.
McGrady scored a game-high 35 points tonight and had 6 rebounds, but his performance in the last quarter was completely different from the first three quarters.
In the first three quarters, McGrady scored 31 points with 56.2% shooting. In the last quarter, he only scored 4 points and his shooting percentage was only 25%. Physical strength was the biggest factor in McGrady's decline in efficiency.
In the visiting team's locker room, the Suns players cheered to celebrate this difficult victory.
For the Suns players, they ended their opponent's 12-game winning streak, but for Chen Yan, there is a more important meaning, that is, the Rockets' 22-game winning streak in history was gone.
At the post-match press conference, Chen Yan learned from reporters that Morey was out of danger.
After hearing the news, Chen Yan expressed his happiness.
The reason why he was happy was not that Morey was still alive, but that he thought there would be more opportunities to continue torturing him in the future.
