Chapter 266: The strategic significance of the ultra-long three-pointer, a perfect start
"Three super long three-pointers! Arrows pierce the heart!"
"Oh my God! I've never seen anyone throw a three-pointer like that in the playoffs!"
"Playoffs? I haven't even seen them in the regular season!"
"The incredible killer!"
Less than 2 minutes into the game, the fans at America West Arena had already stood up to watch the game.
Fans have never experienced a world war, so it's hard not to be excited when they see Chen Yan's continuous long three-pointers.
Some fans even shouted ‘mvp’!
"Get on guard! Don't give him any room to take action!" Popovich shouted at the top of his lungs.
Chen Yan's three-pointer from deep not only brought 9 points, but more importantly, disrupted the Spurs' defensive deployment!
During the timeout, Bowen was a little distracted and kept looking up at the replay of Chen Yan's super long three-pointer on the big screen.
If Chen Yan is compared to a problem, then this difficult problem is obviously too difficult for Bowen.
Chen Yan's three-point shooting method is beyond the times. For Bowen, Chen Yan is even more difficult to guard than Kobe. Kobe is the kind of person who you know is going to make a strong shot, but just can't guard him, while Chen Yan is
There is no way of knowing at what time and at what distance he will take action.
Ginobili looked at it and shook his head repeatedly. He was already considered a player who didn't play according to the routine, but he also felt that Chen Yan's shooting method was outrageous. If the Spurs dared to shoot like this, Popovich would probably
Chen Yan was benched on the spot.
After the timeout, the game has restarted, and there are still many fans who are still discussing Chen Yan's three super long three-pointers just now.
Spurs restart.
This round their offensive initiator is still Parker.
Parker used Oberto's pick-and-roll to find a breakthrough space and hit the basket!
Facing Stoudemire's defense, Parker also looked very calm and did not force the ball. Instead, he jumped up and circled Stoudemire's waist to send the ball to Duncan behind him.
Duncan hits the mark with his steady pie!
9 to 6.
After scoring the goal, Duncan pointed at Parker. The two of them were already familiar with each other. As soon as Parker stuck out his butt, Duncan knew what ball he was going to pass.
Sun attack round.
Nash and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll after halftime.
The opportunity came up, and Nash rode an arrow from the free throw line.
"Clang!"
Missed!
However, the offensive rebound was grabbed by Diaw.
The Suns have very few offensive rebounds, averaging only 8 per game, ranking at the bottom of the league.
So Diaw didn't waste time after getting the offensive rebound. He took a step outside and handed the ball to Chen Yan.
Seeing that Nash missed the shot, Chen Yan was already running to the backcourt to return to defense, but Diaw's offensive rebound made him brake and turn around and return to the offensive half!
The Spurs' defensive formation is still solid. This is their sophistication. No matter what happens, the defense will not be messed up.
Chen Yan didn't find a good offensive route and reached out for a pick-and-roll.
Diaw stepped on the three-point line to provide a screen for Chen Yan. The quality of this pick-and-roll was good. Chen Yan chose to dribble the ball laterally and gained a lot of shooting space by taking one step outside the three-point line.
"Pounce!" Popovich yelled at the top of his lungs.
He doesn't want to see Chen Yan's super long three-pointer penetrating the Spurs net again!
The home fans are excited again!
The fourth consecutive super long three-pointer is coming!
Usually, players who switch defenses in this position will not block, because according to traditional basketball knowledge, the possibility of a shot from this distance is almost zero.
But Chen Yan's long three-pointers in the first three rounds taught the Spurs players a lesson. The Spurs players were very nervous. In addition, Popovich kept reminding loudly from the sidelines that the next second
Duncan raised his hand and sealed it without hesitation.
Bowen immediately avoided Dior and rushed towards Chen Yan!
At the moment when a double team was about to form, Chen Yan pushed the ball between Duncan and Bowen, and then jumped lightly.
Complete the passing of the ball!
Screams erupted from the scene as Chen Yan tore through the Spurs' defense as fast as he could!
This is the strategic significance of Chen Yan's super long three-point shot!
When the ultra-long-distance three-point shot is opened, the opponent will be afraid, and then they have to expand the defense line outward, thus giving the ball holder more room for vertical breakthrough!
As the last line of defense for the Spurs, Oberto let go of Stoudemire and rushed towards Chen Yan.
Chen Yan stayed awake and found Stoudemire who was absolutely open with one hit.
Next comes Stoudemire’s favorite part of frame abuse!
In the previous rounds, all Suns fans heard were the crisp sounds of outside shots hitting the net.
Stoudemire said it's time for the home fans to hear a different sound!
"Boom!!!"
Stoudemire rose up on the spot and dunked hard!
11 to 6!
From the perspective of the scoring panel, a layup and a dunk are both the same two points, but from the perspective of momentum and spirit, they have completely different effects!
It’s not difficult to understand this sentence when you look at the excitement in the US-West Arena!
Oberto shook his head helplessly and silently ran to the baseline to serve.
The Argentinian insider is not a fool. He knows very well that Stoudemire will be empty behind him when he pounces, but he has no choice in this ball.
The Spurs' entire defense has been torn apart. If Chen Yan didn't make up for it, he would have just entered the penalty area and dunked.
When the Spurs attack, they still adopt a steady and steady strategy.
Duncan made a fulcrum, and the surrounding shooters dispersed.
After two back-up attacks, Duncan attracted a double-team from the Suns and passed the ball out to the outside with one hand. Among big men, Duncan's vision and passing skills are quite good. With his presence, the Spurs' shooters can always
Maximize effectiveness.
However, Bowen failed to seize the opportunity in this round and missed a three-pointer from the corner.
"Clang!"
To the sun, this sound of striking iron is a charge to counterattack.
Chen Yan took the lead and led the charge!
After getting the backcourt rebound, Diaw crossed Nash to find Chen Yan, and rushed to the front point during the counterattack!
Chen Yan first accelerated past Finley, but the old Finley couldn't keep up with Chen Yan dragging his old legs.
Facing Parker's retreat, Chen Yan first rushed towards him to stay on the defensive!
Half a step closer to him, Chen Yan suddenly experienced a change of pace!
First fast and then slow, Chen Yan used in-out luck to directly cross Parker as cleanly as the road in the early morning!
The purpose of in-out dribbling is to induce Parker to lose his center of gravity when cutting the ball, while the purpose of behind-the-back dribbling is to protect the ball and complete the pass. After all, Chen Yan and Parker are too close to each other. If he changes direction in front of the body at this time, he may be
Opponent steals.
After passing Parker, Chen Yan took advantage of the situation and hit the basket with a low hand. It was very satisfying!
One round of fast break fully demonstrated Chen Yan's combination of man and ball and coordination!
13 to 6.
"chen~~~~~yan!!!!!" The DJ on the scene shouted Chen Yan's name crazily, and the home fans also danced with excitement. The Suns got off to a perfect start under the leadership of Chen Yan.
Thousands of domestic fans are also proud and excited because of Chen Yan's performance.
"The Spurs were suppressed by the Suns at the beginning, which was not common in previous years!"
"The Spurs were not suppressed by the Suns, but by Chen Yan."
"11 points and 1 assist, the 13 points the Suns scored in the beginning were all related to him!"
"The Spurs' iron barrel formation today will not work in front of Chen Yan!"
"There are no white cockroaches in this class today, Chen Yan is so awesome!"
"Hahaha, Chen Yan's consecutive long three-pointers in the opening game stunned the Spurs!"
