Chapter 218 Come out sooner or later, the three pairs can't stop!
All kidding aside, Chen Yan himself knew that his organization and overall view were still on a different level than Nash.
Most of his assists come from fast passes and using his own breakthroughs to distribute the ball in positional battles.
Although Chen Yan received 11 assists tonight, he also made 4 turnovers. He is still trying to adapt to his new role in the team.
After defeating the Rockets, the Suns continued to sit at home and face back-to-back games with the Knicks.
When mentioning the Suns and Knicks, all fans will immediately think of that tragic 58-point night.
Against the Knicks, the Suns have a psychological advantage.
The trend of this game is similar to what the outside world expected.
At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks basically gave it away and the Suns led 38 to 22 by 16 points.
In the second quarter of the game, Chen Yan continued to work without taking a break. His character is to take a rest after finishing everything.
In the second quarter, the Knicks were completely defeated.
Chen Yan not only sent out consecutive assists, but also frequently performed one-stop plays in the backcourt.
This is a tactic tailor-made for Chen Yan after Xiaowu saw the lethality of Chen Yan's one-stop push in the backcourt in the last game.
Compared with traditional fast-break advancement, this advancement method is more efficient and faster.
The traditional way of advancing is to grab the rebound inside → protect the basketball → lock Chen Yan’s position → find Chen Yan → let Chen Yan push back to counterattack.
The links are too cumbersome, and the more links there are, the higher the probability of mistakes, and the slower the pace of advancement. You must know that the speed of defense at the NBA level is beyond imagination, and opportunities usually disappear in a blink of an eye.
This method of defenders grabbing rebounds and advancing directly can greatly improve the team's running and gunning rhythm, which is very suitable for the Suns.
However, this tactic can only be used when Chen Yan is the point guard. Although Nash has fast advancement speed and passing vision, he does not have Chen Yan's physical talent and rebound protection ability.
As the game progressed into the third quarter, the expressions on the faces of the Knicks players began to become unbearable.
The score has reached 30, and the Suns are still bombarding. Is this a repeat of the 58-point night?
The Knicks players are just a bunch of bastards, and they may not be able to win even if they are given a favorable shot, let alone a situation like this when they are behind by a huge score.
With 2 minutes and 11 seconds left in the third quarter, a wonderful scene occurred on the court.
Chen Yan faced Marbury in a defense change.
At the top of the arc, facing Marbury, Chen Yan first made a bow to Buddha.
Lao Ma has been in the league for many years and has a lot of defensive experience, so he was not fooled by Chen Yan's move.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yan suddenly lowered his center of gravity and connected with his crotch to start!
The change of rhythm suddenly made Marbury nervous.
Although the game has been ruined, Marbury said that his face cannot be ruined.
In order to prevent being passed by in one step, Marbury changed his steps and adjusted his center of gravity forward.
At the next moment, Chen Yan made an emergency stop and made a cross step to pull back!
Marbury's classic moment in the NBA was when he changed direction and knocked down Yao.
But when you go out to mess around, you always have to pay back, so tonight he was knocked down by another Chinese player.
After knocking Marbury down, Chen Yan struck out on the spot!
"Whoa!"
The fans at the scene and in front of the TV cheered for Chen Yan sent Marbury into his highlight reel!
...
...
The score of this game was finally fixed at 111 to 79. The Suns beat the Knicks back to back!
Chen Yan played the first three quarters, scoring 30 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists in 36 minutes!
After scoring a triple-double in two consecutive games, Chen Yan once again dominated the front pages of various sports news.
Chen Yan received a total of 18 honor points in these two games. Obviously, triple-double is one of the fastest ways to earn honor points.
After returning home, Chen Yan took out the 25 honor points he had accumulated before and added them to [Backboards], which suddenly raised the [Backboards] attribute to 85.
The improvement of the [Rebounds] attribute also makes Chen Yan more secure in achieving a triple-double.
On March 15, the Suns faced the underdog Bobcats at home.
The Bobcats recruited a lot of players at the beginning of the season, and team owner Jordan boasted that he would lead the Bobcats into the playoffs. After more than half of the season, they had to face reality. Perhaps the best destination for the Bobcats is to fail.
In this game, the Bobcats did not have a strong fighting spirit, and they did not cause any trouble to the Suns on both offense and defense.
The Suns started raining three-pointers at their home court. At the end of the half, the team made 15 three-pointers, directly beating the Bobcats into a big cat.
Chen Yan's half-time statistics were 12 points, 10 assists and 7 rebounds.
No need to look, I am going for a triple-double again tonight.
His teammates also cooperated very well. In the second half, they turned into tool men and blocked the position like crazy to help Chen Yan collect the last three rebounds to achieve a triple-double.
Just halfway through the third quarter, Bobcats coach Sam Vincent withdrew all the main players with a wave of his hand, declaring that the team had surrendered.
Chen Yan's personal statistics for this game were also fixed at 17 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.
Before the game was over, the fans praised Chen Yan for his triple-double performance in three consecutive games!
After the game, Nash, who was dressed in formal attire, jokingly said in an interview with reporters: "Chen is so outstanding. He is so outstanding that the fans have forgotten my existence. I think I must try to return to the game as soon as possible. I am afraid that I will be injured if it is too late."
