Chapter 273 D'Antoni has no words, and the stars hold the moon!
Post-match statistics.
Suns: Chen Yan had 55 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal and 3 turnovers, Stoudemire had 20 points and 12 rebounds, Nash had 10 points and 11 assists, Grant Hill had 11 points, and Azubuike had 8 points and 4 rebounds.

The Spurs' gdp combination still performed stably, scoring 60 points together, but their light tonight was completely overshadowed by Chen Yan.
Chen Yan not only broke the three-point record in a single playoff game, but also became the youngest player to score 50 points in the playoffs.
Chen Yan made headlines on major sports pages with his devastating performance of 55 points!
"The floodgates are unstoppable once they open! Tonight, the basket is as wide as the sea in Chen Yan's eyes!"
"Breaking records again! The most brutal rookie in history!"
"Chen Yan smiled slightly, I want both victory and record!"
"With 11 three-pointers in a single game, Chen Yan's long-range missile blasted through the Spurs' iron barrel array!"
"The youngest person to score 50 points, Michael Jordan can only be ranked behind him!"
"Records are just numbers to him?"
The domestic media was very exaggerated, and the foreign media were also unambiguous.
In terms of the entire game, the Spurs' offensive rotation was smoother and the overall offense was better, but the Suns had Chen Yan, which was the key to their victory.
Chen Yan's joining has brought about a qualitative change in the Suns. Compared with last season, the Spurs are still the same Spurs, but the Suns are no longer the same Suns.
"yeah!!!"
"Well done guys!"
"That's it! Crush these little Spurs!"
"Have a good rest and prepare for G2!"
When the Suns players walked through the tunnel, the fans on both sides cheered excitedly!
Tonight, the Suns not only won but also defeated their old enemy. The double happiness made the fans even more excited.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the playoffs, and will be rewarded with 6 honor points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking the record for three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs, and you will be awarded 15 honor points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for becoming the youngest person to score 50 points in the playoffs, and you will be awarded 25 honor points!"
When Chen Yan passed through the players' tunnel, a series of mechanical sounds sounded.
Good guy, you can earn 46 honor points in one game!
Chen Yan was very satisfied. The 25 honor points he spent on purchasing the [Status Improvement Card] before the game were instantly doubled.
It feels great to be rewarded while helping your team advance in the playoffs.
Before walking into the tunnel, Chen Yan threw the original towel draped over his shoulders onto the stands!
Chen Yan always likes to interact with the fans after the game, which can be regarded as some benefits he gives to the fans.
After some fighting, a blond female fan got the towel.
The next second, the camera showed a close-up of this lucky guy.
The female fan completely ignored the live broadcast across the United States and directly picked up the towel and took two deep breaths!
Then I burst into tears with excitement!
Crying with joy!
These are happy tears!
But what was even more outrageous was what happened next. When the beautiful fan was crying, her boyfriend beside her immediately took the original towel and took a few sips of it!
After seeing this little tidbit, many fans felt shocked and funny, but it also reflected Chen Yan's personal charm and his popularity in the city of Phoenix!
...
...
"We did well on both offense and defense, but there was an x factor on the Suns. His appearance disrupted my entire tactical plan." Popovich said bluntly in the post-game interview.
Obviously, the x factor in his mouth is Chen Yan.
When asked about Chen Yan, Ginobili had a helpless expression: "His three-point shots all night were 27 feet away and he kept hitting them. It's very crazy!"
An ESPN reporter asked: "What methods will the Spurs take to limit Chen Yan's performance in the next G2?"
Popovich thought for a while and said expressionlessly: "We will study his video when we go back, and g2 will come back with a new look."
Although g1 lost, it did not dampen the confidence of the Spurs.
Chen Yan's single three-pointer tonight stunned the Spurs, but he did not defeat this group of people.
The Spurs are a group of people with strong will and quality who will not be defeated by one game. It also took Kobe several years to conquer Popovich.
On the other side, the Suns' post-game press conference was also going on.
As the absolute protagonist tonight, Chen Yan once again appeared at the press conference.
"Chen, was this G1 victory expected by your team?" the reporter asked.
"Although we won by 12 points, the process was far more difficult than the score seemed, but fortunately we withstood it. This victory is crucial to this series."
Chen Yan is not overly modest, but tells the truth.
"Chen, because you often end games at the last minute, many fans have called you the 'Grim Reaper' recently. Do you like this nickname?"
Chen Yan smiled: "I like it if the fans like it."
"Can you talk about why you took so many long three-pointers in this game?" the reporter continued to ask.
"I didn't care about the distance. I just took action when I felt it." Chen Yan's answer was calm, as if scoring a three-pointer from far away was as simple as breathing.
The reporter then turned the question to Suns coach D'Antoni.
"Will this kind of super long three-pointer be the secret weapon of Chen Yan and the Suns?"
Mustache showed a smile: "To be honest, I was as surprised as you to see Chen shooting a three-pointer like this."
The reporter asked: "Will Chen's three-point shots be restricted in future games?"
D'Antoni asked rhetorically: "How many three-pointers did Chen hit tonight?"
The reporter replied: "11, this is a new three-point record in the playoffs."
D'Antoni shrugged: "Then why should I limit his three-point shots?"
After hearing what Mustache said, the reporters all smiled.
D'Antoni is the coach who gives his players the highest degree of freedom in the entire league. His basketball philosophy, in addition to being fast, is to get the ball into the basket. As long as he can score goals, he is willing to let the players do it.
"Steve, tonight Chen became the youngest player to score 50 points in the playoffs. What do you think of this?" The next reporter asked Nash aside.
Nash also showed off his sense of humor: "My job tonight is to pass the ball to him."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The reporters laughed again.
The two-time MVP said such words, which made Chen Yan feel full of cards.
However, he later said modestly: "Steve is the soul of the team and the engine of the offense. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to score so many points."
Chen Yan's bonus to Chen Yan is not only passing, but the threat of his outside shooting can also help Chen Yan open up space at any time.
Nash averaged 4.7 three-pointers per game this season, and his shooting percentage reached a terrifying 47%. No one would miss such a shooter.
Half an hour after the press conference ended, NBA stars also came out.
Reggie Miller: "11 three-pointers! Wow! This is a great record. I am witnessing the growth of a great shooter!"
Dell Curry: "Look at all those long three-pointers, he makes basketball special!"
Isaiah Thomas: "I've seen a lot of good shooters. They all stay outside the three-point line. But what about him? He shot two-step outside the three-point line all night. After watching the game, I really
I was shocked! You must know that this is not a preseason game, nor a regular season, but the Western Conference semifinals of the playoffs!"
Pippen: "One or two such long three-pointers is luck, and three or four are coincidences. He made six three-pointers from this distance tonight! What a unique guy!"
This kind of praise session naturally involves the famous Suns star. TNT commentator Klee said: "Wow! 55 points in a single game. I thought I was watching Michael Jordan play! If Chen had entered the league 15 years earlier, we probably wouldn't have been able to work together.
What happened to Jordan!"
The NBA's black and white duo in the 1980s also commented on Chen Yan's performance.
'King of Pressure' Larry Bird stopped showing off today and instead praised others: "Chen is a special rookie. He had a great performance in his rookie season, so I gave him a new nickname, Rookie Super
huge."
'Magic' Johnson posted directly on social media: "The youngest 50-point man, congratulations to Chen! This guy looks like a modest man on the surface, but he is an absolute beast on the court. Don't
Deceived by his appearance!"
Chen Yan is not a beast in the traditional sense, but his scoring power and statistics are even more beastly.
This night belonged to Chen Yan, and all the spotlights were on him alone.
It is nothing to be praised by a superstar, nor is it rare to be praised by a group of superstars, but when this kind of praise becomes the norm, it is great.
