Chapter 264 Is this person unreasonable in the beginning?
"Use the status improvement card!"
After opening the system, Chen Yan quickly locked the [Status Improvement Card] he had just purchased with 25 honor points!
Chen Yan's purpose of storing honor points is not only to prevent injuries, but in certain key games, Chen Yan also needs to use honor points to improve his own status.
This is such a critical moment right now.
In Chen Yan's view, the first game against the Spurs is very important and may directly affect the direction of the entire series.
Last year, the Spurs defeated the Suns on the road in the first game of the semifinals, reversing the initiative in the series and eliminating the Suns with a score of 4-2.
The Spurs are not only the defending champions, but they also have rich game experience and are best at turning the tables, especially in the playoffs.
Popovich has the blood of a soldier, and David Robinson, who laid the foundation for the Spurs' championship, can also be called a model soldier. Other teams may regard the playoffs as fun or work, but for the Spurs, this is something that must be strictly implemented.
Task.
"Ding! The prop card [Status Improvement] has been used, and the effect lasts for a single game (including overtime)."
Chen Yan also quickly received feedback from the system, and he felt the changes in his body the next second.
Chen Yan felt that his body was heating up slightly, and the temperature in his palms was also rising.
It’s not a strong feeling, but it’s great!
Facing a strong enemy with full strength gave Chen Yan even more confidence!
After the entrance ceremony, the starting players of both teams stayed in the center of the field.
"Dear viewers, what is about to begin is the NBA playoff semifinals match between the Phoenix Suns and the San Antonio Spurs. The Suns are wearing white jerseys on the court, and the Spurs are wearing black jerseys."
In the cctv5 studio, the instructor Sun Zhengping introduced in a clear tone.
"The Phoenix Suns' starting five are Nash, Chen Yan, Raja Bell, Diaw, and Stoudemire. They are unchanged from the first round."
"The Spurs' starting five have not changed. The point guard is Tony Parker, the shooting guard is veteran Finley, the small forward Bowen, the power forward Duncan, and the center is Argentinian insider Oberto."
Neither of the two commentators introduced much about the starters of both teams. Domestic fans of these two teams are very familiar with them.
Before the jump ball, Chaoyuan specifically looked at Bowen, who was responsible for guarding him tonight.
Bowen's gaze looked fierce, but deep down he was still a little worried about Chen Yan. After all, that punch at the beginning of the season was not in vain.
Stoudemire lost to Duncan in the jump ball.
The Spurs got the first chance to attack.
After taking the ball, Parker made tactical gestures and slowly brought the ball across the half court.
After winning the Finals MVP last year, Parker also grew into a mainstay for the Spurs. In the first round of the playoffs, Parker averaged 25.6 points per game, directly destroying the Rockets' defense line.
This scoring data also ranks first among the Spurs.
But Parker can not only score and break through, but under Popovich's training, his passing and ability to control the game are also increasing day by day.
Parker moved near the top of the arc, and Laga Bell immediately followed up.
In games against the Spurs, D'Antoni usually lets Lagar Bell guard Parker. If the matchup was normal, Nash would be outnumbered.
Nash went to the corner to defend Bowen.
Although Bowen is half a head taller than Nash, his role is basically on the defensive end. On the offensive end, he only has the ability to make three-pointers from the corner, which Nash can barely cope with.
After settling into position, Duncan moved to the high post to cover for Parker.
Parker used the screen to get rid of Laga Bell, Stoudemire changed defense, and Parker used his speed to go straight in!
Parker stepped on the accelerator, passed Stoudemire and threw his body into the air!
Flying layup and hit!
2 to 0.
As Duncan ages, Parker has gradually become the Spurs' first offensive option.
But this is only limited to regular time. When the team is in trouble, the ball has to be handed over to Duncan. When the team is in dire straits, it is usually the man on the bench whose head is gradually thinning.
Sun attack round.
The Spurs are well aware of the characteristics of their old rival Suns. After Parker scored, the entire team retreated quickly to prevent them from running and gunning.
Nash could only hold on to the rhythm and get through halftime.
There are usually only two options for when the sun sets this season.
One is Nash and Stoudemire playing a pick-and-roll, and the other is giving the ball to Chen Yan for singles.
Nash chose to hand the ball to Chen Yan when the Suns started their first attack.
Chen Yan received the ball one meter outside the three-point line, Bowen defended from the outside, and the Spurs defended a 3-2 zone defense.
The 3-2 zone defense is aimed at the Suns' shooter group, because it can provide strong pressure on the top of the arc and 45-degree three-pointers in the upper zone.
If the Suns players choose to attack the inside, Duncan can also effectively protect the frame.
This is the best zone defense against the Suns.
However, Chen Yan is not a player who plays according to routines.
One step outside the three-point line, Chen Yan did not pause after receiving the ball, and shot a super long-distance three-pointer in a flash of lightning!
Bowen on the defensive end didn't react at all!
Basketball is like a dazzling meteor, dragging a long tail and flashing over the US West Arena!
"Whoosh!"
Absolutely hollow!
Water splashes everywhere!
"omg!"
"Oh oh oh oh! Super long three-pointer, Chen shot through the net as soon as he came up!"
"yesss!!!"
"Nice shot!"
The home fans stood up collectively, followed by deafening cheers and screams!
Why does shooting a three-pointer make fans so excited?
Because in this era, fans have never seen a three-pointer like this!
This kind of offensive option can usually only be seen when there is little time left, and now it is only the first offensive and defensive round of the first quarter.
