"Ouch! Laga Bale fell twice in one offensive and defensive round. This is the first time I have seen this after so many years of commentating!"
"Hahaha, I think Raja Bell should check the soles of his shoes to see if they have been secretly smeared with butter!"
Two CCTV commentators couldn't help but joked in the studio.
Fans also found this scene very interesting. They had seen many scenes of Chen Yan knocking down his opponents, but this was the first time they had seen him knock out his teammates.
On the court, the Nuggets' offensive round began again.
Veteran Anthony Carter dribbled the ball across half court, and Iverson came around the baseline to catch the ball.
The intention of Anthony Carter's cross pass was too obvious. After Chen Yan saw it, he swooped down and intercepted it!
After stealing the ball, Chen Yan launched a counterattack on the spot!
Iverson follows closely!
The answer is that I played very hard today, which can be seen from the defense in this round.
Iverson ran all the way and stuck to Chen Yan's side!
It’s a speed showdown between old and new sports cars!
Just when the two sides reached the free throw line, Chen Yan suddenly slowed down to hit the ball!
First take the first step!
Then he kicked hard in the direction of Iverson's defense!
Iverson was out of position, but not completely.
When Chen Yan crossed to the other side of AI's body, he looked back and dug out!
This move is very common when small players are guarding players who are larger than themselves. They steal the ball at the moment the opponent takes the ball, thus achieving the purpose of destroying the ball.
However, Chen Yan saw Iverson's intention of cutting the ball.
While stepping, he quickly raised the ball over his head, bypassed Iverson's defense and easily put the basket up!
"Beautiful! I used the changes in footwork and rhythm to get rid of Iverson's defense. This goal seems to be scored very easily. In fact, there are many small details!" Zhang Weiping said with a louder voice. Every time Chen Yan scored in the playoffs,
Makes him very excited!
On the side, Yu Jia saw that Coach Zhang was bragging, and he couldn't be idle: "That's right, sometimes slowing down is faster! This season, Chen Yan's fast break average is 6.5 points, ranking first in the league.
He will never let go of this opportunity!"
Different from Director Zhang’s straightforward style, Yu Jia generally likes to use data to speak.
On the sidelines, Nuggets coach George Karl was furious!
The target of his anger was not Iverson. George Karl knew that it would be unrealistic for Iverson to defend Chen Yan's ball. What he was angry about was Anthony Carter's passing error just now.
On the other side, Suns coach D'Antoni kept applauding. He hoped to see the team play faster and faster!
Just like that round just now.
Nuggets offensive possession.
Anthony Carter carefully brought the ball across the half court. As a veteran who entered the league in 1998, Anthony Carter has rich experience in the game and he also tried his best to control the rhythm of the game.
But there are many things that he can't control if he wants to.
For example, look at the running and gun counterattack like the sun is flying!
"Clang!"
After a round of conduct, Marcus Camby pulled out a "trebuchet" and missed the shot.
Dio got stuck, Chen Yan turned around and took off the rebound and quickly dropped the ball to counterattack!
"The Suns' counterattack has begun again!" Kenny Smith gave real-time commentary based on the situation on the court.
"To be precise, it was Chen's counterattack." Buckley said with a smile.
The next second, Chen Yan led the team with the ball and quickly pushed it beyond the three-point line in the frontcourt!
On the Nuggets side, Iverson and Kenyon Martin retreated to within the three-point line early, while Anthony Carter followed Chen Yan.
There are interceptions in front and pursuers in the back!
Chen Yan was not afraid of the challenge, he continued to lean forward and sprint forward, then directly threw out the [Devil's Shadow]!
Under the pursuit and interception of three people, Chen Yan had a clear idea and moved his hands quickly to score a layup!
Chen Yan used his unique signature European step for two consecutive rounds!
“OOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
"Chen!! Well done!"
"With perfect footwork, Chen can always find the most correct offensive line!"
"Keep hitting the Nuggets' basket like this, they can't stop you!"
The fans at the scene cheered enthusiastically. Although they had seen such steps from Chen Yan many times, there were some things they never got tired of.
For example, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's hook, Jordan's fadeaway, Iverson's change of direction, Nowitzki's Golden Rooster independence, and Chen Yan's devilish pace that can tear open the defense at any time!
In the past, when this kind of pace was mentioned, the first thing that fans thought of must be Ginobili and Wade.
But as Chen Yan shines this season, this kind of pace has slowly become a symbol of him!
George Karl reluctantly called a timeout.
This kind of fast break points is the most difficult to defend and it hurts morale.
After the timeout, George Karl removed Anthony Carter and replaced Melo Anthony, and Iverson moved to the No. 1 position.
Anthony Carter played poorly tonight. He didn't organize the team well on the offensive end. The defensive end is the Nuggets' weak link. It doesn't make much sense to keep him on the court.
Anthony hit a signature single as soon as he came on the court.
At a 45-degree angle from the free throw line, Anthony made a jump shot!
The posture is picturesque, but the sight is a bit off.
The ball hit the neck of the basket and bounced high!
Anthony has not been feeling good tonight, and his shots are sporadic. Fortunately, the Nuggets have good inside rebounding capabilities. Kenyon Martin is a jumping man. Marcus Camby ranks second in rebounds per game this season.
Second to Howard.
In this round, Camby hit a tip-in with one hand, temporarily helping the Nuggets stop the bleeding.
Looking back, Nash used Stoudemire's cover to go to the left, and hit the target with an arrow while riding a horse!
Nuggets offensive possession,
Iverson used Anthony's containment to hit a pull-up jumper from the strong side!
The Nuggets' tactics after Anthony and Iverson came on the court
From a tactical point of view, although the offensive rhythm is fast, the Nuggets are not playing run and gun, they are still attacking in the half court, but the offensive and defensive rotation is fast.
After Anthony and Iverson played at the same time, their tactics became very simple. The two took turns playing singles and taking turns.
The Suns are not afraid of the Nuggets' offense. They even intend to let Anthony and Iverson take turns playing singles.
Their offensive capabilities are as terrifying as Gatlin's, but neither of them has the ability to connect. Their overall offense against the Nuggets stagnated.
At halftime, the Suns led the Nuggets 63 to 53.
The two sides scored a high score that is rare in the playoffs in this era!
But for fans, it is not surprising that the Suns and Nuggets scored this score, because both teams are teams that focus on offense and light defense.
Chen Yan scored 29 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds at halftime!
Before the game, many fans and media questioned Chen Yan's ability to adapt to the intensity of the playoffs.
However, it only took him half a half to prove himself.
