Chapter 300 Yan Shi linkage, super comprehensive half-time data!
"Wow! Chen made an emergency stop and caused a foul and then hit the lever under the basket. The two points were valid and resulted in an extra penalty!" Kenny Smith said.
"Chen's butt was like a magnet, sucking Oberto directly in," Buckley said with a big grin.
"Hahahaha!" Barkley's witty metaphor also amused Kenny Smith and the audience in front of the TV.
On the court, Chen Yan made an extra free throw.
The cheers from the home field suddenly started again!
Chen Yan's 21 not only helped the team stop the bleeding in time, but also suppressed the Spurs' counterattack to a certain extent.
San Antonio Spurs offensive possession.
Still, Duncan wants to play in singles.
Stoudemire had a better memory this round and moved his feet the moment Duncan turned around to block his line.
Duncan forced the attack!
Didn't score, but caused Stoudemire's foul.
Duncan went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws.
38 to 34.
Stoudemire is originally a strong offensive and defensive player, so there really isn't much he can do to defend Duncan.
Chen Yan serves from the baseline.
Nash advances.
At the top of the arc, Nash handed the ball to Chen Yan behind him with a flick of his wrist.
Two steps beyond the three-point line has already entered Chen Yan's shooting range.
But he didn't choose to shoot this round.
Even the best shooters don't try to attack from beyond the arc every possession.
Combining sudden shots is the most threatening play style.
Chen Yan threw out [Lightning Step 1] and directly attacked Bowen!
It’s that simple and crude!
Chen Yan holds the ball two meters away from the three-point line, and he has a long space to accelerate.
Bowen defended sideways. When he took the first step, he was parallel to Chen Yan. When he took the second step, he was already one position behind Chen Yan...
Although Bowen has a lot of defensive experience, sometimes this experience is not worth mentioning in the face of absolute talent.
Chen Yan accelerated and rushed in. While breaking through, Chen Yan did not forget to observe the movements of his teammates.
This is the vision and overall view that a good player must have.
If you just rely on talent and act recklessly, you will often fall into the trap set by your opponent.
Facing Duncan's defense, Chen Yan took off directly!
Want to buckle again?
Fans at Mercy Arena stood up one after another.
But the protagonist of the dunk in this round was not Chen Yan.
I saw Chen Yan hovering in the air for a short time, and then smoothly swung behind him!
This pass has a White Chocolate Williams vibe.
The only difference is that 'White Chocolate' usually has one person passing the ball and nine others panic. Compared with him, Chen Yan is a little less flashy and pursues more accuracy in passing.
"Bang!!!"
Behind him, Stoudemire followed up with a step, took off, and then used both hands to attack the frame!
The overlord raises the cauldron!
This is Stoudemire's favorite way to score!
Not only did Stoudemire complete a dunk, he also pulled the rim hard as if to vent his anger.
In the first two defensive rounds, he was first dunked by Duncan, and then fouled on Duncan. He was suffocating.
This dunk unleashed all the anger!
"What a ball! Today's game was great to watch!"
"Chen Yan's passing is becoming more and more like Nash!"
"The Spurs' defense has too many loopholes today and cannot limit the Suns' offense!"
"It's not that the Spurs have more loopholes, it's that the Suns have more offensive points!"
"That's right, when Chen Yan opened up the situation, he also inspired his teammates."
Fans are also having heated discussions on domestic forums.
On the sidelines, Popovich's expression became more serious.
Chen Yan is already scary enough when playing alone, but now he can drive his teammates to score. How can he defend against this?
Just when Popovich was deep in thought, the Spurs had trouble on the offensive end.
When Stoudemire made a half-circle, Parker saw that there was no chance for Duncan to get inside, so he chose to break through on his own.
Parker rushed all the way to the basket!
His breakthroughs have always been resolute, this is his style.
However, his intention to break through this time was too obvious, and he was targeted by Dior.
Diaw did not give any face to his fellow Frenchman and extended his big palm to block the shot from the wing.
Although this is not a huge hit, it is enough to change the trajectory of the ball after it is released.
Stoudemire got the ball and found Nash with a pass.
Nash advances rapidly!
The Spurs' retreat was considered qualified, and immediately three players returned to the defensive half at the same time.
Nash accelerates at full speed and kills in!
In the penalty area, Nash started directly against the double defense of Parker and Duncan!
But Nash's goal is not like the basket, but more like a group of cameras on the bottom line.
Nash took two long strides and threw the ball to the side while rushing out of the baseline!
The basketball came out against Duncan's scalp!
Duncan looked back and saw that Chen Yan had already appeared in his field of vision.
The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but that person was at the bottom corner!
Chen Yan transforms into a pure shooter, catching the ball and shooting!
"Whoosh!"
The Nets made a crisp sound, and the shooter made his debut!
Perfect linkage between Yan and Shi!
No one knows how Nash saw Chen Yan running toward the bottom corner during a high-speed breakthrough.
But he just did it.
Chen Yan did not waste Nash's wonderful pass.
To sum up the Suns' offense in this round in eight words: superb passing and wonderful shooting!
After scoring in this round, Chen Yan directly activated the team skill: [Blitz Storm]!
Because he felt that the Suns' offensive rhythm was picking up and he had to maximize his advantage!
...
...
Halftime is over.
The score between the two sides was fixed at 57 to 47.
The Phoenix Suns held on to their advantage and entered the locker room with a 10-point lead.
During the intermission, Chen Yan received a text message from Swift.
"Come on! Come on! I'll give you a 'special reward' in a few days after you win the game!"
Taylor Swift also stayed in front of the TV to watch the game.
Special reward?
Chen Yan couldn't help but think of some shameful scenes.
It's not that he's vulgar, but isn't that what happens between boyfriend and girlfriend?
In order to avoid distraction, Chen Yan decided to return to Swift after the game.
D'Antoni praised the team in the locker room. He was very satisfied with the current score and the team's tactical execution.
But at the same time, he also understands that the team currently has two hidden dangers. One is that the main players' playing time is too long, and the other is that Stoudemire has already committed three fouls.
On the Spurs side, Popovich did not blindly blame the players.
For most of the first half, the Spurs players were playing according to his tactics. The reason why the game did not develop as he expected was all because of Chen Yan.
Chen Yan scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists at halftime.
This performance left Popovich somewhat helpless.
Chen Yan can always balance scoring and passing with ease. This type of player is the biggest headache for all coaches.
But Popovich did not dwell in a dead end. He chose to turn his gun on other Suns players.
The second half started quickly.
Both sides will play with their starting lineups.
Parker came up and attacked the inside with a strong force, and started a confrontation in front of Stoudemire.
Parker didn't fully charge for this ball, nor did he push away Stoudemire during the confrontation, but received a solid block from him!
Stoudemire glanced at Parker on the ground and said that this was the first time he had ever seen a courier delivering hats.
But he quickly understood the Spurs' tactical intentions.
The Spurs next offensive possession.
Parker took advantage of the screen and suddenly started to speed!
Continue to attack the inside line, carry the explosive pack and attack the inside line.
"Beep!"
The next second, the referee's whistle sounded.
Stoudemire received his fourth foul of the game.
Popovich kept applauding on the sidelines, indicating that Parker did a good job.
This is the tactic he seemed to emphasize during the halftime break: knock down the Suns' second-leading scorer. Without Stoudemire to contain him in the paint, Chen Yan's offensive space will be much smaller.
Suns coach D'Antoni had no choice but to replace Stoudemire early.
Stoudemire had a look of frustration on his face when he came off the court. Four early fouls meant he had to spend a long time on the bench.
