Chapter 255 The hero is twilight, the white-hot stage!
"A diamond-like goal! Chen Yan helped the Suns regain the initiative in the game!" Kenny Smith shouted excitedly the moment the basketball hit the net!
"Twenty-two in a single quarter, Chen once again shocked everyone with his performance!" Barkley also shouted.
Kenny Smith smiled on the sidelines: "To be precise, it's half a quarter. This guy is a ruthless scoring machine. Once he starts, he can't stop!"
Affected by the foul, Chen Yan did not come on the field until more than 6 minutes into the final quarter.
"This guy is such a killer!" Buckley nodded.
The Nuggets called timeout again.
During the timeout, George Karl held a tactical board and arranged tactics with a serious face.
There were only 39 seconds left before the end of the game, and George Karl was not going to finish the 24 seconds.
The experienced old man decided to steal one, giving the Nuggets two chances to attack in the last 39 seconds.
If the time is pressed to 24 seconds and no score is scored, then the Nuggets can only use foul tactics and the situation will be very passive.
The pause ends.
Kenyon Martin's sideline ball was sent to Iverson.
This time Jr came out to catch the ball again.
But Iverson didn't choose to pass it to him.
At the critical moment, Iverson chose to believe in himself!
He changed his direction and leaned on Nash to hit the basket!
Nash didn't dare to take the initiative. The Suns' foul count was already full. If he fouled at this time, Iverson would be sent directly to the free throw line.
Outside the penalty area, Iverson jumped!
Iverson used an emergency stop to shake Nash away, but Stoudemire inside was already prepared and pounced!
AI leans back hard!
His take-off height is no longer as high as when he was young. In order to avoid blocking shots, he can only increase his backward range!
In order to avoid Stoudemire's block, Iverson's shot was extremely extreme!
When he threw the basketball in his hand, Iverson also fell to the ground in panic!
"Clang!"
The crisp sound of striking iron sounded, coupled with the scene of Iverson falling to the ground, it really felt like a hero in his twilight years.
Chen Yan sprinted to protect this key backcourt rebound!
Nash signaled Chen Yan to dribble the ball across half court.
At this time, there are still 31 seconds left before the end of the game.
Everyone knows that the Suns want Chen Yan to complete the offense in this round.
"Double team! Don't let him take action!"
"Damn it! He shouldn't have been allowed to get the ball!"
"Cheer up and guard against his next attack!"
The fans at the Pepsi Center were shouting wildly.
As soon as Chen Yan gets the ball now, the fans can smell the danger.
Very exaggerated.
Still one and a half steps away from the top three-pointer, Chen Yan stopped.
Now that the Suns have a 2-point lead, all they have to do is press the clock until the last second.
"Don't give him a three-point chance! Don't get too close to him!"
Under George Karl's remote control, Jr., who was responsible for the defense, was a little messy.
You can't give three-pointers and you can't get too close. How the hell can you defend against this?
Jr. is not a player who is good at defense, and this requirement is obviously beyond his level.
Nuggets coach George Karl naturally understands this, and he had already made tactical arrangements during the last timeout.
Chen Yan is now on full fire. The only way to guard against Chen Yan in this state is to double-team him!
There are 7 seconds left in the attack time of the round, and Chen Yan starts to start with 14 seconds left in the end time!
Jr stopped when he retreated to the three-point line.
He understood that he had entered Chen Yan's shooting range and could no longer retreat!
Chen Yan's three-pointers were accurate in the second half of the final quarter, but he has more than just three-pointers in his arsenal!
Chen Yan understood Jr's mentality of focusing on three-point defense.
After a pause to worship Buddha, Chen Yan shook Jr's center of gravity and broke through his defense in one step!
Anthony rushed out from the side and stood in front of Chen Yan!
Anthony actually wasn't here to help defend, he was here to double-team Chen Yan, but Jr. lost his defensive position too quickly, so this time the double-team seemed to be a help-defense.
Chen Yan changed direction with his hips and broke through in the opposite direction!
In normal times, Chen Yan's actions would probably make Anthony cross the road like he was on the road in the early morning.
But in this round, Anthony not only forced himself to keep up with Chen Yan, but also used his strong body to challenge Chen Yan!
Anthony proved with his actions that it’s not that he can’t defend, he just doesn’t want to defend!
Anthony's defensive ability is not bad with his attitude. After all, his physical talent is there. Except for his slow lateral movement, Melo's other conditions are also first-rate!
After the physical confrontation with Anthony, Chen Yan did not make any more moves. Time did not allow it, and 24 seconds was almost up.
Chen Yan did not adjust his steps and forcibly pulled it up while his body was slightly out of balance!
Anthony leaps forward with his arms raised!
Anthony may not be ranked among active players in terms of bounce, but in terms of bounce speed, he is absolutely top-notch. This is why he often performs offenses on the offensive end where he is blocked and grabs consecutive offensive rebounds.
Anthony defended this ball very well, and Chen Yan was a little out of balance, but the moment Chen Yan took action, all the fans still had their hearts in their throats!
Some female fans were already covering their faces and almost crying.
There is no other reason, just because the player who took the shot is named Chen Yan!
