Chapter 263 The war is about to break out, Chen Yan's harsh words before the game!
On a program on tnt.
Experts and commentators are analyzing the second round of the playoffs.
"Spurs or Suns? Which team can advance to the next round?" Kenny Smith brought up the topic straight to the point.
Reggie Miller immediately said: "The Spurs are better, they have more experience, the experience here refers to the experience of winning, these guys know what to do at what time, this is how they defeated last year
Solar."
Barkley retorted: "Reggie, everything you said is right, but you ignored one thing, that is, the Suns have Chen this year."
As soon as the 'Magician' heard Chen Yan start playing, he immediately got excited!
"Chen is the x factor in the Suns. He averaged a frightening 36.75 points per game in the last round of the playoffs. This guy can always change the game!"
"The basketball court is never a one-person battle. Even Michael (Jordan) can't solve the game alone, let alone Chen." Reggie Miller responded.
"I never said that Chen can defeat the Spurs by himself, but his appearance can make a qualitative change in the team!" said 'Magic' Johnson.
"When you have a rookie in your lineup who averages 36 points per game, everything becomes easier." Barkley also said.
"The Nuggets are the Nuggets, and the Spurs are the Spurs. Chen will not get too many performance opportunities under the Spurs' defensive system." Reggie Miller continued to respond.
Kenny Smith also joined the debate. He nodded: "I agree with Reggie. The Nuggets, like the Suns, are teams that focus on offense and light defense. The Suns have a lot of running and gun opportunities against them.
, but the Spurs obviously will not let them play such a comfortable rhythm."
Barkley glanced at Kenny Smith: "Is this the first matchup between the two teams? You haven't watched the regular season? Do you think..."
Before Barkley finished speaking, Kenny Smith immediately interrupted: "The regular season is the regular season, and the playoffs are the playoffs. These are two different games. Charles, I believe you are better than anyone else."
clear."
A group of commentators had a big fight, and everyone was red-faced.
All of this is just a program effect, meant to amuse the audience and attract their attention.
The more they quarrel, the higher the ratings of the show.
The Suns vs. Spurs game will start on May 3rd local time in the United States.
Two days before the game, the training atmosphere within the Suns team was extremely serious.
The Suns smoothly defeated the Nuggets 4-0 in the first round. A sweep is a manifestation of strength, but sometimes a game that goes too smoothly is not necessarily a good thing, especially when the next opponent is a tough opponent like the Spurs.
Suns coach D'Antoni also noticed that the players were a little too relaxed before the game, so his training these days has been particularly strict. Mustache plans to keep the players tense through serious training!
The time will soon come to May 3rd.
It’s time for the Suns and Spurs to start G1 war!
Before the game, Chen Yan drove his car to the American West Arena.
Along the way, Chen Yan felt the flaming enthusiasm of Phoenix fans!
There are fans supporting the Suns everywhere.
The Suns are very likely to win the championship this year, and the enthusiasm of Suns fans has also increased. In addition, the opponent is the archrival Spurs.
The Phoenix government also deployed additional police forces to maintain order inside and outside the stadium.
The American West Arena can accommodate 1.90,000 fans, but there are definitely more than 1.90,000 fans going to the arena tonight!
Some fans who had not bought tickets gathered in the square outside the American West Arena. These fans were ready to watch the game on the big screen in the square and support the home team in their own way!
Chen Yan's car stopped and stopped all the way, not because the road was not smooth, but because many fans recognized Chen Yan and greeted him excitedly.
Chen Yan also wanted to keep a low profile, but he had no choice. The red Ferrari he was driving was too conspicuous.
Although the fans are enthusiastic, they are very measured and will not waste too much of Chen Yan's time.
It would be funny if Chen Yan was late because of the fans.
About three hours before the start of the main game, Chen Yan drove into the American West Arena.
At the end of the shooting warm-up session, Chen Yan was interviewed by an ESPN reporter on the sidelines.
"Chen, the game between the Suns and the Spurs has been regarded as a duel between spear and shield by the outside world. What do you think of this?" the reporter asked.
"I'm sorry, please repeat it again." Chen Yan bent down, indicating that he didn't hear the question clearly.
It's not that Chen Yan is deaf, but the noise at the American West Arena tonight was so loud that he really didn't hear the reporter's question clearly at the moment.
As the game approaches, the fans are almost here, and the Suns supporters are very excited. Last year, the Suns fell to the Spurs in the semifinals. The fans hope that the team can complete their revenge this year.
The reporter raised the volume and repeated the question again.
Chen Yan replied: "A team that is good at offense and a team that is good at defense will always create some special sparks. Like the fans, I am also looking forward to what will happen in this series."
The reporter continued to ask: "Do you think the sun will have the last laugh?"
Chen Yan replied: "Of course, no doubt."
The reporter continued to ask: "So how many games do you expect the Suns to resolve the battle?"
Chen Yan put his hands on his hips and smiled: "I don't know, but I know that the Suns will win 4 games in this series. No matter who the opponent is in the series, I will answer this because this is our mission on this field.
."
In the enthusiastic atmosphere of the fans at the scene, Chen Yan couldn't help but say some harsh words.
The reporter burst out laughing after hearing this. He is never afraid of not having any news when interviewing Chen Yan.
"Chen, you performed well against the Spurs in the regular season. How will you break the Spurs' iron barrel formation in tonight's game?" the reporter continued to ask.
"I'll increase the mid-range shot."
Chen Yan replied without thinking.
The reason why Chen Yan said this is because the Spurs' defensive strategy is to defend against breakthroughs on the inside and three-pointers on the outside, and let go of the long two-pointers with the lowest scoring efficiency.
Kobe once beat the Spurs with a mid-range shot from this distance.
After the short interview, Chen Yan returned to the locker room.
While changing their game equipment, the Suns players listened to D'Antoni's final tactical deployment.
Only one person is different among them, and that is Nash.
Nash did not sit in his seat, but lay directly on the carpet in the locker room. This was the privilege given to him by D'Antoni.
Nash's back injury has started to reoccur recently.
To be precise, it has never stopped.
Nash suffers from congenital spondylolisthesis, which in mild cases is spondylolisthesis. There is a defect in a specific part of his spinal joints, a bony abnormality in the lumbosacral joint, which will cause his entire body to have spondylolisthesis.
Instability of the spine.
Like a door with a loose gap between its hinges, opening and closing more will cause the deformation to increase, and over time, Nash's spine will move forward, which can compress nearby nerves.
Causes severe pain in the back.
Now that this slippage has begun, Nash's torso will become shorter and his abdomen will protrude. Although this change is very small, the nearby neurons have tortured him to the point where he cannot straighten his back.
So whenever there is a break, Nash will choose to lie on the ground.
It's not that he is lazy, it's that his body really can't handle it.
As long as Nash continues to play, the pain in his back will be with him. Surgery can completely cure it, but the recovery period is too long, which will directly affect the length of Nash's sports career, and may even prevent him from ever returning to the court.
Therefore, surgery is an absolutely impossible option for Nash, who is striving for a championship at the end of his career.
"Steve, are you okay?" Chen Yan smiled and pulled Nash up, moving very carefully.
He didn't want to see the news after the game that he accidentally injured Nash in the locker room, causing him to miss G1 in the semifinals.
Nash also smiled: "Back injury is my old buddy. I'm used to playing with him."
Seeing Nash in this state, Chen Yan knew that there was not much problem with him.
"Hey! Guys! Brace yourself, this is our battle of revenge!"
"Have you heard the cheers in the arena? Repay them with victory!"
In the player tunnel, Nash's performance was different from before, and he loudly inspired his teammates!
All members of the Suns team were as excited as they were, rushing out of the tunnel amidst the cheers of the home fans, full of momentum!
The local commentator at the American West Arena shouted excitedly: "It's been a long time since we've seen our home court! We haven't seen these familiar faces for 12 days. Let's welcome the Phoenix Warriors with the loudest voice!"
The last time Phoenix fans watched a Suns game in this arena was back in the first round of G2 on April 21.
Under the leadership of the local commentator, the fans at the scene burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami!
This kind of home atmosphere made Chen Yan's adrenaline soar. When he stepped into the stadium, he also turned on his system!
