Chapter 227 8 consecutive triple doubles, Barkley is heartbroken
Chen Yan's buzzer-beater helped the team win eight consecutive victories but also paid a price.
Due to being too excited during the celebration, Nash felt discomfort in his back again. Barnes was even more exaggerated. The sutured wound on his eyebrow bone actually collapsed. This tough guy did not expect that he would stain the game with blood in this way...
.
But the most outrageous thing was Stoudemire. He accidentally fell down while jumping on Chen Yan's back, pricked his index finger, and was forced to sit out for three days.
Extreme joy brings sorrow, this is probably one of the most bizarre injuries in NBA history...
Stoudemire's accidental injury made the already poor team even worse.
On March 23, the Suns went to Sacramento non-stop to challenge the Kings in back-to-back games.
This is the last meeting of the season between these two Pacific Division rivals.
The Chen Yan effect continued in this game. The Kings home court was not only full of seats, but the average ticket price increased by 20%!
Fans want to see how long Chen Yan's consecutive triple-doubles will last.
Some fans at home even held up a sign in advance saying, "Congratulations to Chen for scoring 8 consecutive triple-doubles!" Seeing this, Barkley, who was the guest commentator tonight, couldn't help but smile and said: "The King's has already arrived before the game even starts.
The fans defected."
The game starts soon.
The Suns' lineup tonight is not complete, and the Kings are not much better. Inside main force Brand Miller and outside core Artest are both absent. In addition, the King's goal this year is to fail, so there is no collision in this game.
What a spark.
The Kings are undefended inside and outside. It is easier for Chen Yan to enter their penalty area than to return to his own bedroom, and he can always get a comfortable shooting space from the outside.
At the end of the first quarter, the Suns led the Kings by 10 points 31 to 21. Chen Yan started the scoring mode and scored 15 points in a single quarter.
The Suns' offensive continued unabated in the second quarter, with multiple points blooming and a 10-0 spurt. Kevin Martin, the 'crooked shooter', wanted to step up and respond to the Suns' attack.
However, his shooting percentage is very unstable and his goals are intermittent, almost like constipation.
Although his shooting rate is unstable, Kevin Martin can always hit some difficult shots with a twisted body, which can be regarded as his personal characteristic.
At halftime, the Suns led 63 to 42 by 21 points.
Chen Yan's statistics are 22 points, 4 assists and 6 rebounds.
Entering the second half, Chen Yan set up a singles position as soon as he came up. He ran over Kevin Martin with his back and went to the free throw line!
It's not that Chen Yan's strength is too good, but that Kevin Martin's body is too thin!
But Kevin Martin also wants to save face.
Bullying me in front of so many fans at home?
Can't bear it!
The next second, Kevin Martin pushed forward hard!
Naturally, this proactive action did not escape the referee's eyes.
"Beep!"
The moment the referee's whistle sounded, Chen Yan turned around and shot a jumper. The timing was perfect!
"Bang!"
The basketball hit the inner frame and bounced into the net!
The moment the ball was scored, Chen Yan kept pointing his index finger to the ground.
twenty one!
Kevin Martin walked away with his hands on his hips, his expression slightly embarrassed.
Post-up singles are the weakest of all Chen Yan's skills. Kevin Martin can't even guard against this, let alone Chen Yan's various shaking breakthroughs and unsolvable pull-ups.
However, just when Chen Yan stood on the free throw line, a funny scene happened on the court.
The Kings fans at home may feel that Chen Yan's assists tonight are too few, and are worried that he will not be able to continue his triple-double record tonight. They even shouted in the audience: "Pass! Pass! Pass!"
After hearing the cries of the fans, Chen Yan himself couldn't help but laugh.
I really don’t want to brush for the sake of brushing, but the fans don’t allow it!
Many fans bought tickets just to watch Chen score eight consecutive triple-doubles.
In the next few rounds, Chen Yan also satisfied the fans' demands, scoring the ball quickly and feeding the cake directly to the mouths of his teammates.
At the same time, Chen Yan also constantly called on his teammates to block positions, allowing him to easily collect defensive rebounds.
The Suns currently have a huge lead, and Chen Yan doesn't mind making his data even better.
In the third quarter, Chen Yan played the entire game and dished out 5 assists, raising his number of assists in a single game to 9.
Less than 1 minute into the final quarter, Chen Yan sent out his 10th assist of the game!
Chen Yan made a wonderful pass to help Barea, who caught the ball and slid down the baseline to score a layup!
After sending this assist, Chen Yan's statistics also reached 25 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, a very standard triple-double!
The fans at the Kings home court collectively stood up and applauded. Chen Yan's eight consecutive triple-doubles made them feel that they had witnessed history and become a part of this history!
tnt commentary seat.
"Let us congratulate Chen for scoring a triple-double in 8 consecutive games! Some fans may think that Chen's triple-double looks easy, but as an NBA veteran, I can tell everyone responsibly that this is a very important feat.
A difficult achievement!" Kenny Smith said excitedly.
Buckley smiled: "Chen just makes it look easy. That's what's special about him."
As soon as Barkley finished speaking, Kenny Smith immediately answered: "So have you decided to call Michael's number?"
Buckley shrugged, his expression somewhat reluctant.
But for the sake of the show's effect and to fulfill his previous promise, he still took out his mobile phone.
"I hope that guy didn't block me."
"Hahaha!"
Amid the laughter between the two, Barkley dialed Jordan's phone number.
"Hey! Charles, I'm playing golf, what's wrong?" Jordan's voice soon came from the other end of the phone.
"Michael, it's actually nothing special. I mainly want to inform you that your record of 7 consecutive triple-doubles was broken by Chen just now." Barkley said contemptuously, with Kenny Smith beside him.
Holding back their laughter, they all wanted to hear Jordan's reaction.
Jordan knew that Barkley was now commentating on the game, so he responded officially: "Really? Congratulations to Chen. I have always known that he is a great player, and he has proved it with his actions."
Of course, Barkley would not be satisfied with Jordan's polite reply, so he went on to say: "We all know that you have set countless records in the NBA, but Chen also has a nickname called the Record Crusher. Do you think you have created these records?"
Will the records eventually be broken one by one by Chen?"
Jordan heard that the fat guy Barkley was causing trouble, and a classic scene occurred.
"I don't know if he can. This is just the kid's rookie season. Everything is unknown, but I know you won't be able to because he has five championships."
In the commentary box, Barkley was frozen in place.
He could imagine Jordan holding out five fingers to show off to himself.
"Hey! Michael, we are talking about Chen now, what do you think..."
Before Barkley finished speaking, Jordan's voice came over the phone again: "I have five championships."
Barkley continued: "Michael, please face this head on."
"I have five total..."
"Michael, the signal in the commentary box is not good, hang up now!".
Buckley quickly hung up the phone. There was nothing more to talk about today.
Kenny Smith laughed until he almost choked.
Buckley now regrets it very much. He regrets why he made this call.
With the clock stopped in the fourth quarter, the final score was fixed at 104-81, and the Suns defeated the Kings away from home.
Chen Yan played 36 minutes in the game and almost played the first three quarters. In the last quarter, when the game became garbage time, D'Antoni safely put Chen Yan on the bench. In the end, Chen Yan's statistics were 28 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds.
After the game, Kings coach Reggie Toews also spoke highly of Chen Yan's performance.
"Chen is difficult to guard, very difficult to guard. Most of the time you can't judge his movements on the court, and occasionally you can't guard him if you make the right judgment."
At the post-game press conference, 'Mustache' D'Antoni did not choose to be modest after learning the compliments of the opposing coach: "Hard to defend? After the return of Steve (Nash) and Amare (Amar'e Stoudemire)
Chen will be even harder to guard against!"
When Chen Yan was being interviewed, he was inevitably asked about his eight consecutive triple-doubles.
"Chen, you broke the 'God of Basketball' Jordan's triple-double record in seven consecutive games. Is tonight the most special moment in your career for you?"
Chen Yan did not answer this question directly.
"The records I want to break are not one or two, nor three or four."
After listening to Chen Yan's answer, the reporters showed familiar smiles.
