Nash committed a technical foul and made a free throw.
65 to 63.
"The Suns finally had their second player score in the second half." After Nash made the free throw, Barkley laughed in the commentary box.
Kenny Smith on the side also laughed and echoed: "Chen scored the team's first 13 points in the second half. I almost thought it was his own basketball game."
Amid the banter from the two commentators, the game continued.
King Nuo took over the offensive burden of the Mavericks, pushed Diaw twice with his back, and then suddenly turned over!
"Whoa!"
Two points secured!
Turning back after a confrontation is a scoring method that King Nuo is good at.
65 to 65, both sides returned to the same starting line again.
Dior's baseline shot was quick, past Nash and directly looking for Chen Yan.
After receiving the ball, Chen Yan strode to the basket, European-stepped his way between Ray Allen and Josh Howard, and hit the basket with his left hand!
67 to 65!
Not only is Chen Yan's hand open, but his entire state is also fully open. On the offensive end, he is very confident in his finishing!
D'Antoni on the sidelines kept applauding. As a coach, he also admired Chen Yan's confidence very much.
If you want to become a super scorer, it is not enough to rely solely on skills and physical talent. More importantly, you must have the confidence to believe that you can score every ball.
Mavericks offensive possession.
Kidd brought the ball across half court.
There was no rush to release the ball, and Kidd directed his teammates' movements at the top of the key.
Although the Mavericks were hit by a wave of scoring at the beginning of the second half, they were only two points behind. Kidd, the brains behind the team, knew that they had to stabilize the rhythm at this time.
After directing traffic, Kidd passed the ball to Nowitzki with a hit.
Under Kidd's early planning, Nowitzki got a 1v1 environment very comfortably.
"Bang!"
King Nuo started to post up Diaw.
Defending Nowitzki alone, Diaw was under great pressure.
Nowitzki can turn left, turn right, or use his feet to break into the basket after posting up. He is the power forward with the most abundant offensive methods and the longest range in the league!
After the continuous confrontation, King Nuo turned around and leaned back, making the same move as in the previous round.
Dior's nerves were very tense and he pounced on King Nuo Tian the moment he turned over.
However, in the next second, Nowitzki suddenly collected the ball, kept his axis foot unchanged, took a step forward with his left foot, and hit a forward jumper!
67 to 67.
The home fans screamed in surprise!
"A delightful goal! Dirk tricked Diaw with his feet!" Kenny Smith shouted.
"Chen's offensive momentum is very fierce, and Nowitzki is not to be outdone. The confrontation between the two has just begun." Barkley continued.
However, just after Barkley's mouthful of poisonous milk, Chen Yan and Nowitzki missed shots one after another...
The feel of both players declined at the same time, but the offense of the two teams did not stagnate.
On the Sun side, Stoudemire stood up.
First, he made a mid-range shot, then he accelerated and took two steps to directly pass Dampier's defense, and finished with a two-handed dunk!
Dampier is just a human shield that adds all attribute points to strength. Facing him, Stoudemire has an absolute advantage in mobility.
The Mavericks gave Ray Allen a baseline cut and scored 21, and responded immediately.
With 6 minutes and 07 seconds left in the third quarter, the score between the two sides was 78 to 76, with the Suns temporarily leading.
D'Antoni called a timeout.
The Suns lineup remains unchanged.
Due to extensive injuries on the bench, D'Antoni performed a tragic 6-man rotation tonight!
The further the game goes on, the more serious their physical exhaustion will be. This is also the Sun's biggest disadvantage when facing the Mavericks tonight.
The Suns still continued their previous offensive tactics, letting Chen Yan serve as the main attacker.
In the Suns, only Chen Yan's scoring explosiveness can fill the scoring gap when the substitute is injured.
As soon as he came up, Chen Yan received a wonderful back pass from Diaw, went to the basket in two steps and reversed the basket to easily score two points!
Josh Howard couldn't help but sigh. In addition to holding the ball, Chen Yan's lack of the ball also gave him a headache. He had to focus on Chen Yan every second. If he wasn't careful, the situation just now would happen.
.
In the next offensive round, after receiving Nash's sudden score, Chen Yan drew his bow and arrow from the outside and hit the target accurately!
The Suns will not waste Chen Yan's current hot state, the whole team is feeding him the ball repeatedly!
After this goal, Chen Yan also saw the opportunity and pressed the [Blitz Storm] button!
He knows that the later the game is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Suns. Chen Yan needs to establish an advantage in the third quarter as much as possible!
...
With a quick blitz, facing Ray Allen's retreat, Chen Yan's high ball passed over his head, and he made a reverse layup!
...
In a positional battle, Chen Yan penetrated left and right continuously, and played with Dampier and hit the board with a high throw!
...
From a 60-degree angle on the left, Chen Yan made a three-pointer during the counterattack and hit the ball with perfect rhythm!
With 1 minute and 13 seconds left in the third quarter, Chen Yan's personal score rose to 40, and his score in a single quarter had reached a terrifying 30 points!!!
Major domestic post bars and sports forums have exploded.
"Unstoppable! A total solo performance moment!"
"If you score 10 points in the first two quarters and 30 points in the third quarter, is it really like three years of non-opening and three years of open business?"
"Chen Yan is awesome! The Mavericks' defense has been smashed!"
"What do you know upstairs? This is the Mavericks' defensive strategy. This method of restricting stars is called the 'Jordan Law'."
"What is Jordan's Law? Can anyone explain it?"
"This was a tactic often used by the Pistons back then. First, defend alone to give Jordan space, then strictly defend other Bulls players, allowing Jordan to score as much as he wanted. As the game progressed, other Bulls players never had a chance to take action, and it must have been cold. This
When the time comes, double-team Jordan and bring the Bulls' offense to a standstill."
Netizens' analysis was very clear. If Mavericks coach "Little General" Johnson saw these comments, he would probably laugh.
Tonight, he tried his best to limit Chen Yan. First he used Ray Allen, and then he couldn't stop him with Josh Howard.
In the end, the 'little general' even tried veteran Jason Kidd and Devin George on the bench, but the results were miserable.
So there is no such thing as Jordan's Law. The Mavericks simply couldn't guard Chen Yan tonight...
