Chapter 251 Controversial penalty, a precursor to the outbreak!
The game resumes!
At this stage of the final quarter, both sides have fielded their strongest lineups.
Yu Jia said: "Currently, the Suns are still lagging behind by more than double digits. Tonight, the Suns' players did not find their own running and gun rhythm. Denver, a plateau city, made them look a little lost."
Zhang Lili said: "There is only more than half a quarter before the end of the game, and someone from the Suns must step up!"
Nuggets offensive possession.
Iverson slowed down to pass the halftime.
The advantage now lies with the Nuggets, and it is important for them to control the rhythm.
Iverson used Camby's screen to break into the paint.
Seeing that there was no good chance to make a shot, Iverson turned around and handed the ball to Anthony.
Anthony turned around and shot after a post-up!
The Nuggets almost spent 24 seconds on offense in this round!
Anthony feels hot tonight, but that doesn't mean he can make every shot.
"Clang!"
The basketball bounced out of the frame!
But the Nuggets' offense didn't end there.
Marcus Camby, the rebounding monster, jumped high, took off the backboard and quickly took off twice to attack the frame!
Stoudemire was on the wing trying to block the shot.
"Crack!"
The clear and melodious sound of beatings can even be heard from the second-floor stands!
The referee did not hesitate to call Stoudemire a foul.
Camby's free throw percentage this season is 70.8%, which is a pretty good statistic for a big man.
Standing on the free throw line, Camby made the first free throw, and the whole audience cheered!
After a few seconds of adjustment, Camby made his second free throw.
"Rebound!"
This pitch is shorter than the shot!
Sure enough, the basketball hit the front edge and popped out!
At this moment, Kenyon Martin came out and once again won an offensive rebound for the Nuggets!
After grabbing the rebound, Martin pushed up from the basket and hit the basket!
94 to 79!
The Nuggets got three chances in a wave of offense!
Suns coach D'Antoni on the sidelines was so anxious that he almost stamped his feet, but there was nothing he could do.
This is the disadvantage of not having a center forward!
Coupled with the fact that Chen Yan had four fouls and was afraid to rush for rebounds, the Suns' already weak rebounding link was further amplified.
Sun attack.
In this round, Chen Yan and Stoudemire started a pick-and-roll.
Different from the regular pick-and-roll, Stoudemire's pick-and-roll this round was a fake pick-and-roll.
After making the move of covering his crotch, Stoudemire ran towards the basket the next second!
Chen Yan hit the ball between the cracks and sent it out!
Stoudemire took two sharp steps at the free throw line, and faced Kleiza's defense with a strong dunk!
"Boom!"
Stoudemire leaped high and dunked the ball directly into the audience, which was outrageous!
"Ouch, this ball was not scored, it shouldn't have been!" Zhang Lili said regretfully.
Yu Jia was doing analysis on the side: "For Stoudemire, it is almost impossible to miss this opportunity to eat cakes. It seems that fighting on the plateau has also affected Stoudemire's physical fitness a lot!"
With the player in this state, D'Antoni on the court has nothing to do.
Mustache has always been good at hitting the wind, and his ability to adapt to situations is average.
Now in this situation, he just let the Suns players on the court adjust themselves.
Nuggets offensive possession.
Iverson continued to call for cover, but this time Stoudemire ignored Camby who was covering, but instead worked with Nash to give Iverson a double attack package!
The double-teaming between the two was very determined!
Iverson's static talent is inherently a disadvantage, but in this situation where the line of sight is blocked, the pass is blocked!
Chen Yan completed the steal with lightning and flint!
Switching over, it’s the run-and-gun rhythm that the Suns are most familiar with!
Chen Yan held the ball all the way to the inside, and Kenyon Martin quickly returned to the penalty area and took the lead in occupying a favorable defensive position.
However, Chen Yan is not afraid at all, he must be strong to face him!
The two of them took off at the same time, and Kenyon Martin, who was beside him, obviously made a foul move and knocked Chen Yan into the baseline with the ball!
After hesitating for a second, the referee pointed his finger in the opposite direction, the ball was in the backcourt!
As soon as this penalty was issued, the Suns collectively spread their hands in protest!
The fans in front of the TV couldn’t sit still!
"This is a backcourt ball. I suddenly feel that I can also be a referee in the NBA. I'll be done with it!"
"This foul is too obvious. It would be outrageous not to call it!"
"Not only does Kenyon Martin not take off vertically, he also has a pushing motion with his hand. If the referee doesn't use his eyes, he can donate them to useful people!"
"Even if the King of Heaven comes today, it's a foul!"
But the most excited one is the person involved, Chen Yan!
Chen Yan didn't wait for his teammates to stop him, he got up directly and rushed in front of the referee!
Roaring like a dragon at the referee, Chen Yan frantically vented his dissatisfaction!
bi————
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, but instead of giving Chen Yan a free throw, he was given a technical foul directly!
The Pepsi Center burst into cheers, and the Nuggets fans suddenly became excited, because they felt that Chen Yan's emotions were out of control, and the victory of this game was even more certain!
Suns teammates quickly stepped forward to hug Chen Yan and ask him to calm down.
D'Antoni's expression became more solemn, which undoubtedly made the already unhappy situation even worse.
Iverson stood on the free throw line, and his free throws were the most stable among the Nuggets' starting players.
When AI took a technical foul free throw, Chen Yan silently walked to the sidelines.
He took a tissue from the bench, spit the gum in his mouth on the tissue and returned to the court.
Unlike players in previous generations who liked to chew braces, players in this era almost always chew gum during games.
On the one hand, chewing gum can relieve players' stress on the court; on the other hand, chewing gum can maintain the mineralization of teeth and reduce dry mouth.
The home fans all saw Chen Yan's move. Although they didn't know what it meant, they vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Bang!"
Iverson missed the free throw with a technical foul.
The score difference on the field is still 15 points, and there are still about 5 minutes left before the end of the game.
To use the famous saying of Chinese football: There is not much time left for the sun!
Nuggets offense.
The Nuggets played too sluggishly in this round, and no one had a good chance to make a shot after continuously passing the ball from the outside.
With 5 seconds left in the attack time of the round, Iverson took over and played singles.
After shaking for a while, he made an emergency stop from a high position and took action.
"Clang!"
The ball was thrown a little hastily and missed.
Camby also wanted to get another offensive rebound, but was stuck behind him.
Diaw jumped up, protected the rebound and handed it to Nash.
After landing, Chen Yan took the initiative to get the ball.
Chen Yan is now the strongest player in the Suns, and he must shoulder the offensive burden of the team!
Nash hit the ground and passed the ball to Chen Yan comfortably.
Chen Yan turned sideways to face Kenyon Martin, a three-handed threat with one hand.
"You can't score! I've guarded you to death tonight!"
Kenyon Martin shouted at Chen Yan arrogantly!
He thought that Chen Yan was locked up by him tonight, and his self-confidence made him keep spewing trash talk at Chen Yan.
When Kenyon Martin kept BBing, Chen Yan had already thought of what offensive method he would use to shut him up.
High speed start!
Crotch changes direction!
Emergency stop to collect the ball!
Before Kenyon Martin could straighten his waist, Chen Yan came!
"Whoosh!"
The basketball spins at high speed in the air and then goes straight into the net!
Unreasonable three-pointer!
Throughout the whole process, Kenyon Martin just raised his arms and didn't even make a take-off move.
It’s not that he doesn’t jump, it’s that he doesn’t have time to react at all!
The most powerful thing about dry pulling is its suddenness. Of course, this requires the support of strong core strength.
After the goal was scored, Chen Yan did not celebrate or respond to Kenyon Martin's provocation. He just silently recited the number twice:
"12...12..."
Chen Yan can only think about chasing points now, and 12 points is the current point difference between the two teams.
