Chapter 234 Is there really no difference between the playoffs and the regular season?
Iverson did not feel depressed. Being eaten by Chen Yan only inspired his fighting spirit!
In the Nuggets offensive round, Iverson beckoned for the ball!
When Anthony Carter handed the ball to Iverson, he blocked Chen Yan.
After the defense switch, Iverson and Nash formed a 1v1 situation at the top of the key.
This is one of the offensive arrangements of Nuggets coach George Karl. The two backcourts of the Nuggets, Anthony Carter and Iverson, can be called defensive black holes. The Suns also have a defensive black hole, and that is Lao Na.
The fans didn't call him "Na Bu Fang" for nothing. Lao Na's physical fitness destined him to be a black hole on the defensive end.
Iverson found his breakthrough rhythm after two consecutive crotches, and he accelerated past Nash!
Stoudemire immediately stepped forward to cover the defense.
Iverson is not afraid of confrontation and welcomes men!
The aerial confrontation caused Stoudemire to fall heavily to the ground after a foul!
Iverson has rarely had such breakthroughs in the middle and later stages of his career, but tonight his desire to hit the frame was extremely strong!
Anthony and Camby quickly stepped forward to inquire about the situation. After Iverson indicated that it was okay, they worked together to pull him up.
After patting the clothes on his chest, Iverson stood on the free throw line.
"Iverson has a strong fighting spirit tonight. This is the second consecutive round that he has hit the basket!"
"He's like that every night, that's the kind of player Allen is."
With Barkley and Kenny Smith praising him, Iverson made two free throws!
Sun attack round.
Diaw served quickly from the bottom line, and the Nuggets quickly returned to defense and did not give a chance for a fast break.
After falling into position, Nash used the screen to make a lateral transfer and handed the ball to Laga Bell.
Seeing that there was no chance, Bell directed the ball to Diaw near the free throw line.
Diaw held the basketball high, observed it for a while, and then passed it to Chen Yan on the outside.
When Taiyang couldn't find a way to break the situation in a positional battle, he usually left it to Chen Yan to solve it.
At a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, Chen Yan stood sideways and grabbed the ball with one hand.
As soon as this action came out, the whole audience cheered.
Catching the ball with one hand has almost become Chen Yan's signature move.
Almost everyone in the NBA league can catch the ball with one hand, but few can catch it as handsome and dashing as Chen Yan.
Jordan counts as one, and after Jordan McGrady counts as one, but now McGrady's body has become more and more bloated, and he can no longer capture the feeling he had when he was young.
Chen Yan didn't ask for a screen. It would have been a misposition to hit Iverson, but after trying to cover, it was difficult to hit.
"Bang!"
Chen Yan quickly dropped the ball, lowered his center of gravity and walked directly to the right!
Chen Yan wouldn't show too many fancy dribbling moves in front of Iverson. AI's hands are very fast and his center of gravity is lower than his. If he's not careful, the basketball in his hand will be stolen by him.
After taking a step to start the movement, Chen Yan directly connected to dry pulling.
Full of rhythm!
Iverson flew to block the hole of the gun!
Chen Yan maintained his own rhythm and took confident shots regardless of Iverson's defense.
The height of Chen Yan's jump was very exaggerated, the arc was very flat, and it shot straight into the net like a cannonball!
"Uh-huh!!"
6 to 4!
The fans at the scene cheered and it was a complete pleasure to watch Chen Yan fuck!
"Allen! You go and guard Laga Bell and leave Chen to Kenyon!"
After seeing Iverson being eaten twice by Chen Yan, Nuggets coach George Karl finally couldn't sit still and shouted while waving his right hand.
George Karl is going to use power forward Kenyon Martin to guard Chen Yan.
Although Kenyon Martin is 206cm tall, he is very mobile. George Karl asked him to guard Kobe every time he played against the Lakers.
Before the game started, George Karl also thought about letting Kenyon Martin directly guard Chen Yan, but such an arrangement would require Anthony to carry the inside, and he might be unhappy.
But now George Karl no longer cares about the star's mood. He can see that Chen Yan now treats Iverson as a cash machine, and if he continues to let Iverson defend like this, the game will be unplayable.
Nuggets offensive possession.
Anthony Carter passed halftime and handed it to Iverson.
The ball didn't stay in Iverson's hands for long in this round.
Iverson found Anthony at a 45-degree angle from the free throw line with a lob.
Anthony has never touched the ball from the beginning until now. After all, the Nuggets are Anthony's team, and Iverson has to take care of his emotions.
Anthony holds the ball and assumes a triple threat posture.
In fact, everyone understands that Melo is a double threat, because it is basically impossible for him to pass the ball.
Anthony took a tentative step first.
Then came another test step!
Test after test, after repeating it three times in a row, he suddenly pulled it out and hit the target!
This is Melo Anthony's signature move.
Anthony's rhythm on the ball was good, but it was a pity that his hands were still a little cold when he first came on the court, and the basketball came out of the frame!
Stoudemire grabbed the rebound and handed it directly to Nash.
If the Nuggets miss a shot, it means the Suns have a chance to counterattack!
Nash advances with the ball!
Ragnarok Bale and Chen Yan followed closely behind!
The Sun’s classic V-shaped fast break!
On the Nuggets side, only Anthony Carter and Iverson retreated.
3 on 2 in the frontcourt!
And there are two little outsiders!
Nash started playing directly, flicking his hair at the free throw line, and then threw the ball high into the air!
Chen Yan accelerated from behind, soared into the sky, and bent his bow to make an alley-oop!!
Anthony Carter and Iverson saw Chen Yan's take-off height and immediately lost their desire to take off, watching him blast the ball into the basket!
8 to 4.
"ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Unparalleled dunk!"
"Bomber-Chan!!"
"This is fast break, this is basketball!"
"How high Chen jumps depends on how high Steve throws!"
The fans at the scene screamed repeatedly, and this dunk set off the entire American West Arena!
The Suns cheerleaders on the bottom line also stood up collectively and turned around to match the atmosphere and interact with the fans!
Iverson and Anthony Carter looked at each other. Even though the two were experienced veterans, the Sun Devil-like atmosphere still gave them a sense of oppression.
Iverson glanced at the sidelines again, and George Karl seemed to have no intention of calling a timeout.
George Karl has his own tactical plan, and he signals the players to make adjustments on the court.
Nuggets offense.
In this round, they chose to clear the strong side, leaving space for Melo to play in singles!
Anthony once again poses two threats with the ball.
But he didn't choose a jump shot this round.
After a moment of shaking, Anthony blasted the ball, turned around, and hit it high into the Suns penalty area!
Laga Bell can't bear Anthony's weight at all!
"Clang!"
But when the layup ended, Anthony was soft-handed!
The basketball hits the front edge of the basket and pops up!
"Foul! Foul!"
Anthony yelled at the referee twice, indicating that Raja Bell had missed the ball.
But the referee ignored it.
The confrontation in the playoffs is inherently more intense, and this is the Suns' home court, so referees have their own standards.
Just when Anthony and the referee were complaining, the sun's horn for counterattack sounded again!
In this round, the Nuggets retreated relatively promptly. Anthony Carter, Iverson and Kenyon Martin all retreated to the defensive half immediately.
Under the defense of three people, Nash accelerated along the left side and advanced with the ball.
The Nuggets defensive players were very afraid of Nash's pass, and no one dared to pounce on it.
With the Nuggets players retreating from defense, Nash reached the baseline alone. When Iverson and Anthony Carter were about to push him into a desperate situation, Nash flicked his hair and made a wide-range move to find the right three-point line.
Chen Yan in 60 Degrees Outside.
Historical perspective!
The ball was not only passed in place, but also passed very comfortably.
Chen Yan hardly had to make any adjustments the moment he caught the ball!
Kenyon Martin came from the side at high speed!
Chen Yan gently raised his head and shook Kenyon Martin!
This is a common problem for men like Kenyon Martin, who can easily get confused!
Kenyon Martin was angry and annoyed. He could only watch himself fly past Chen Yan. At this time, the BGM of "i-believe-i-can-fly" sounded in his mind...
Chen Yan held his breath and concentrated, waiting for Kenyon Martin to fly completely from his field of vision before shooting an open three-pointer!
"Whoa!"
Accurate strike, shoot through the net!
11 to 4!
This is Chen Yan's first three-pointer in this game!
First shot, first hit!
"time-out!!"
Nuggets coach George Karl finally couldn't help but call a timeout!
Seeing Chen Yan scoring consecutively, the fans in front of the domestic TV seemed very excited!
"Scoring 9 points in a row, Chen Yan stopped the Nuggets alone!"
"The offense can't be stopped at all, the rhythm is so exciting!"
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Chen Yan score so happily!”
"It's really incomprehensible. Chen Yan's firepower can only be suppressed by pausing!"
"Nash's comeback has completely liberated Chen Yan on the offensive end!"
"This scoring explosion is outrageous! Is there really no difference between the playoffs and the regular season for him?"
