Chapter 244 The reason for Van Gundy's layoff has been found!
The American West Arena was packed with people tonight and all seats were packed!
Just like the last game, the fans filled the entire stadium with great enthusiasm!
Everyone was waiting for the start of the game wearing uniform orange T-shirts prepared by the Suns official team.
g2 Swifty did not come to watch the game. She is currently on the rise and has a lot of work to do. She cannot be with Chen Yan every day.
Many media outlets were disappointed when they saw that Swift was not present at the event.
This means that there is a lot less gossip in this game.
Inside the Suns locker room.
All the players are ready and waiting for the game to start.
D'Antoni didn't even take out his tactical board before the game, he just said some words of encouragement.
In the eyes of Mustache, the tactics that should be deployed have already been laid out, and the Suns can win as long as they play at their own pace.
Chen Yan was not idle before waiting for the game to start. He opened the system and added wave points.
It's still the same old rule, Chen Yan keeps enough points to prevent accidental injuries and poor condition.
Chen Yan took out 20 of the 24 honor points gained in the previous game, and added them all to the [Rebounds] attribute.
Chen Yan's [Rebound] attribute suddenly increased from [80] to [84].
Chen Yan's additions are always very targeted. He never adds them according to his temper, let alone randomly.
Although the Suns beat the Nuggets in the last game, they were severely suppressed in rebounding statistics and lost 14 rebounds.
The purpose of improving rebounding ability is not only to deal with the Nuggets, but also will be of great benefit to the team in the future promotion road.
The Suns average 41.7 rebounds per game this season, ranking last in the league, and they lose a lot of points every night because of rebounds.
Many fans think that outside players do not need to fight for rebounds. This idea is wrong. Rebounding is a matter for the whole team and not for a single player.
Protecting the backcourt rebounds will enable you to launch more quick counterattacks, and fighting for the offensive rebounds will provide you with more secondary offensive opportunities.
It is no exaggeration to say that rebounding is the 'lifeline' of the team.
Over in the Nuggets locker room, George Karl carefully planned the tactics. There is a huge difference between winning an away game and losing two games in a row at home.
The game starts soon!
The Suns tried their best to go fast from the beginning and wanted to bring the game into their rhythm as soon as possible.
The Nuggets are slowing down like crazy, trying to drag the game into a positional battle as much as possible.
In order to change the dilemma of offensive constipation in the first game and allow the ball to flow better, George Karl asked the Nuggets players to increase the number of passes.
But this change is superficial and actually of little use. Many of the Nuggets' passes are ineffective. In the end, they still have to be passed to Iverson or Anthony to solve the problem alone. The effect is not as good as giving them the ball from the beginning.
.....
In the 6 minutes and 02 seconds of the first quarter's offensive round, the Nuggets even had a funny scene. Anthony made a big wave of his hand at the top of the arc after passing the ball and passed the ball directly to the referee, which caused the scene to burst into laughter.
"The Nuggets want to drive the team's offense through constant transmission, but obviously this is not their style of play. Carmelo Anthony's pass accurately found the man in the open space. The only flaw is this man
It's the referee." Mike Breen, who was the commentator tonight, couldn't help but joke.
Van Gundy on the side had a serious face: "Although the Nuggets' tactics of pressing time to reduce the number of rounds have achieved a certain effect, allowing the Suns to only score 14 points in the first 6 minutes of the first quarter, the Nuggets also had to suffer.
8 points, of which there was only one goal in open play, and forcing the rhythm actually destroyed their own offensive rhythm."
Nuggets coach George Karl also saw the team's problems and immediately called a timeout in the next round.
After the timeout, after tactical adjustments, the Nuggets regained a little bit of their offensive rhythm in the second half of the first quarter.
The two sides battled to 27-18 in the first quarter, with the Suns temporarily leading by 9 points.
During the break, Van Gundy bluntly said to the camera: "Although the Nuggets have tried their best to slow down the pace of the game and take control of the initiative on the court, it can be seen that the pace of the game is still the same as the Suns. If the game continues like this, the score will probably be lower."
The more you pull, the wider it opens.”
"What if Allen and Cameron are both powerful at the same time?" Mike Breen asked.
"This is a small probability event. Both of them need to continue to shoot to maintain the touch. If one person shoots too much in a period of time, the other person's hand will naturally become cold. This makes it difficult for them to maintain an overheated touch at the same time. Even if they both shoot at the same time,
Even if the firepower is unleashed, it may not be as good as the Suns entering a run-and-gun rhythm."
Mike Breen nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Van Gundy's analysis was very professional, as he is a head coach.
After the exchange and analysis between the two, the second quarter of the game started quickly.
The second quarter started with a competition between the second lineups of both sides.
Jr. Smith turned around and hit a difficult three-pointer at the beginning. Then in the next offensive round, he came up with a fancy lever, which not only showed off but also made a goal.
Jr.'s touch has always been better than two games, and Nuggets fans have long been used to it.
However, Jr.'s good performance did not help the Nuggets succeed in chasing points. Barea and Azubuike's condition improved tonight. As they gradually adapted to the rhythm of the playoffs, they took up the offensive banner of the Suns' second team.
The two responded to Jr. with jump shots and breakthroughs one after another.
"Be firm! That's right, fight like this!"
Chen Yan also continued to encourage the two on the sidelines. Chen Yan's shouting made them confident in their offensive performance!
At 7 minutes and 34 seconds of the second quarter, the score became 36-28, and the Suns still led.
The Nuggets called a timeout.
After the timeout, the match between the second lineups of both sides ended, and all the main players returned to the field.
Suns court lineup: Nash, Chen Yan, Raja Bell, Diaw, Stoudemire
Nuggets lineup: Anthony Carter, Iverson, Carmelo Anthony, Kenyon Martin, Marcus Camby.
The Nuggets attack the ball.
Anthony Carter took advantage of the containment of Iverson and Melo to get to the basket alone, and took off in the penalty area to find Kenyon Martin.
Martin raised his hands and dunked!
36 to 30.
This position is Kenyon Martin's sweet spot, and he will not let go of any opportunity to wreak havoc on the basket!
Sun attack round.
Nash pushed the ball past half court.
There was no good opportunity to play the ball, so Nash held the ball from the outside and directed a wave.
Laga Bell used the screen to come out.
Nash stared closely at Bell outside the three-point line. With a flick of his wrist, the ball flew towards the inside!
The plank road is built openly, but the warehouse is secretly built!
In the penalty area, Chen Yan reversed and accelerated, getting out of the way!
In the first quarter, Chen Yan spent most of his time controlling and making plays for his teammates, and he only scored 5 points. The Nuggets relaxed a bit on his defense.
Chen Yan accelerated and took off in the direction of the ball, soaring straight into the sky!
It’s time to hear the noise!
"Boom!!"
In the camera, Chen Yan's head is flat, he lags in the air for a short time, then grabs the ball with one hand and slams it violently!
There were screams from all over the audience, and the excitement of the Suns fans was suddenly aroused by Chen Yan!
This kind of simple and crude dunk can often bombard the fans' nerves the most!
The Suns' bench players couldn't sit still anymore. They collectively jumped up from their seats and made all kinds of ape-like noises!
"Woot! Is this a dunk? This is a UFO infestation!"
"Chen Yan's big hands are really like a suction cup, he can easily suck the ball and smash it into the basket!"
"I thought Martin's two-handed dunk just now was violent enough, but I didn't expect that when I turned around, Chen Yan came up with an even more explosive one!"
"The Sun Bench reminds me of a poem, the apes on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can't stop crying."
"It made me laugh so hard. Chen Yan's dunk made his teammates return to their ancestors."
Domestic fans were also shocked by this alley-oop, and they tapped on the keyboard to express their feelings at this time.
The Nuggets continue to attack.
Anthony Carter took the ball across half court and looked for Iverson.
Iverson was not affected by Chen Yanji's shocking dunk. All he was thinking about now was how to chase points faster.
After catching the ball, Iverson stepped left and right, feinted and then ejected to start!
Near the free throw line, Iverson suddenly made an emergency stop!
Grenade launcher!
Chen Yan defended the ball well and did not lose position. However, Iverson's throw was too high and the basketball passed by his fingertips.
"Whoa!"
A powerful hit!
38 to 32.
The score difference between the two sides still cannot be widened.
Nash continued to dribble past half court.
Another positional warfare attack.
Nash took the initiative to pull to the weak side, and then made a lateral transfer and handed the ball to Chen Yan. He wanted to open up space for Chen Yan to play in singles.
After receiving the ball, Chen Yan took advantage of the trend to test to the left, and then started to the right.
But this fake move failed to fool Iverson.
Iverson moved ahead of time and blocked Chen Yan's path.
Chen Yan did not fight hard, but pulled back and changed his position to attack again.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Chen Yan began to do double-crotch dribbling continuously.
After continuous dribbling, Chen Yan suddenly started to the left!
After taking a step forward, Chen Yan suddenly stopped and pulled to the right!
Chen Yan used a series of dazzling operations to create shooting space!
Iverson is at a height disadvantage in front of Chen Yan. If he wants to prevent Chen Yan's shot, he must take off early.
The moment his feet left the ground, Iverson regretted it.
Chen Yan pretended to play ball and actually worshiped Buddha. He used his realistic fake moves to deceive the experienced 'answer'!
After getting rid of the defense, Chen Yan rushed inside with nitrogen speed!
Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby both retracted.
However, their double-teaming speed can't match Chen Yan's breakthrough speed!
Before the two closed the door, Chen Yan flew into the basket and scored!
Elegant, chic and beautiful!
After watching Chen Yan's smooth and smooth moves, Mike Breen in the commentary box couldn't sit still!
"Oh oh oh! Gorgeous playing style, that's why Chen is so popular! He has a thousand ways to make the fans scream!"
After Mike Breen shouted, he did not forget to look back at Van Gundy next to him: "Jeff, what do you think of this ball?"
Van Gundy thought for a while: "From the perspective of the audience, there is no doubt that I will like such a good-hearted offense, but if as a coach I think I will not be happy, I will ask Chen to simplify his offensive method. This is the best way to attack the ball."
It’s beneficial to the team.”
After Van Gundy finished speaking with a serious face, Mike Breen smiled: "Jeff, now I finally understand why you changed from a coach to a commentator."
After listening to the commentary dialogue between the two, fans in front of TV sets across the United States also laughed.
"Hahahaha! Mike Brin is so brave!"
"To be honest, Van Gundy is really not suitable to be a coach."
"Van Gundy's tactics are too rigid, and talented players will be buried in his hands."
"Haha, the reason why Bald Man was laid off was finally found!"
