Chapter 307 Deceiving everyone, the fraudster Chen Yan!
cctv5 studio.
Today, the commentary is guided by Zhang Lili’s partner Xu.
"Okay, now the starting lineups of both sides have been announced. You can see that both sides have made certain adjustments in their lineups."
"Chinese player Chen Yan's Phoenix Suns' starting five tonight are Steve Nash, Chen Yan, Grant Hill, Boris Diaw and Amar'e Stoudemire."
"On the other side, the starting five sent by the San Antonio Spurs are Tony Parker, Michael Finley, Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Tim Duncan." Director Xu introduced the starting lineup of the two teams to domestic fans.
.
"We can see that the Suns' intention is very clear. They sent Grant Hill to remove Laga Bell in order to strengthen the opening offense. In addition, Laga Bell's main defensive player is Ginobili.
Nobili usually comes on as a substitute in the middle of the first quarter, and substituting the physically energetic Laga Bale at the same time can better restrict him!" Zhang Liang analyzed rationally.
"Like the Suns, the Spurs have also made fine-tuning in terms of role players, but they should pay more attention to the status of the players, because the functions of Kurt Thomas and Oberto are basically similar." Director Xu said.
Both commentators are players and have their own understanding of court formations.
"Director Xu, who are you optimistic about? In other words, who do you think?" Zhang Lili asked Director Xu with a smile.
Director Xu smiled slightly and replied very tactfully: "On paper, the strength of the two teams is evenly matched, but the morale of the Suns is better. After all, the last game just completed a shocking reversal, so the direction of this game is important."
It just depends on how the mentality of both sides adjusts. The Suns cannot be dazzled by the victory in the last game, and the Spurs should not be too discouraged. After all, this is their territory and they have the home court advantage."
With the two commentators talking to each other, the game officially began!
Stoudemire defeated Duncan and gave the Suns a chance to attack in the first round.
Chen Yan accelerated towards the frontcourt at the moment Stoudemire jumped the ball, preparing to repeat the start of the previous game.
However, the Spurs gained wisdom by taking every step and did not give Chen Yan a chance to blitz.
Parker and Bowen blocked Chen Yan's path and prevented him from entering the penalty area.
Seeing that the blitz tactic failed, Nash didn't try hard and dribbled the ball to the top of the arc.
"Defense!!"
"Defense!!"
"Defense!!"
Spurs fans shouted defense as soon as the game started!
The atmosphere at the Spurs' home court at ATTA Arena is extremely hot tonight!
This is the most direct way for fans to support the team, and they also know that the team has reached the edge of the cliff.
Chen Yan continued to run counterattacks from the bottom line and failed to get rid of Bowen.
Nash handed the ball to Stoudemire at the free throw line.
Stoudemire feinted and didn't point to Duncan.
Leaning on Duncan, Stoudemire went in to kill.
In the penalty area, Stoudemire was surrounded by Finley and Duncan.
Instead of forcing a shot, Stoudemire focused on stability from the beginning and passed the ball to Grant Hill, who was one step behind the three-point line.
Hill shot from mid-range!
"Clang!"
My hands haven't warmed up yet, but this ball is really strong.
Duncan and Diaw jumped up to fight for the rebound.
Out of bounds!
The referee awarded the ball to the Spurs.
Duncan picked off the rebound and handed it to Finley.
Finlay slowly advanced past half-court.
At a 45-degree three-point angle from the left, Finley stopped the ball.
Parker jumped in at high speed and took the defensive player away. Finley passed a cross pass to Duncan who followed up.
Duncan caught the ball at the three-point line, took a step forward, and made an open jump shot!
"Whoosh!"
2 to 0.
As steady as an old dog!
"There was a problem with the Suns' defense this round."
"That's right, all the attention was attracted by Parker, and Duncan was completely ignored."
In the cctv5 studio, Zhang Lili and Director Xu communicated.
Diaw wanted to counterattack with a quick serve, but the ball did not fall until one second after it entered the net.
This is also one of the Spurs' extra-game moves. Before the game started, their staff deliberately narrowed the opening of the net. The purpose of this was to prevent the basketball from landing quickly and reduce the frequency of the Suns' run-and-gun play.
Sun attack round.
Nash dribbled the ball past half court and handed the ball to Chen Yan.
Bowen's single defense at the top of the arc.
Chen Yan holds the ball in one hand and waits for his teammates to pull away.
He wants to play Bowen in singles.
Bowen is the league's top defender, but he is not good at dealing with speedy defenders like Chen Yan. This has been proven in the past few games.
The Spurs were well aware of this and did not let Bowen bear the pressure alone.
Bowen is a man-to-man defense, and the other Spurs players behind him are more like a zone defense. Once they break in, the Spurs will immediately execute a rotation!
This is a tactic carefully arranged by Popovich to deal with the Suns, to be precise, to deal with Chen Yan.
Popovich is worthy of being called "Zhugewicz" by fans. His tactics never remain the same, but are constantly adjusted according to changes in opponents and the situation of the previous game.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Chen Yan suddenly lowered his center of gravity after doing continuous rhythmic crotch movements!
Bowen's nerves immediately became tense.
Chen Yan is about to start!
Just as Bowen moved, Chen Yan dribbled the ball in his pocket and immediately pulled it back.
Bowen pounced without thinking!
This is what Popovich said before the game. He is determined not to let Chen Yan shoot three-pointers, especially the kind of long-range three-pointers that can destroy the Spurs' morale.
The moment Bowen moved forward, Chen Yan accelerated and completed the breakthrough!
Using the time difference to achieve a breakthrough is Chen Yan's favorite way to achieve a breakthrough.
Chen Yan leaned forward and walked inside, and the Spurs' pockets quickly tightened!
Chen Yan stepped forward directly against the Spurs' defense!
While taking the first step, Chen Yan locked his eyes on Nash in the bottom corner and stretched out his hands at the same time!
Want to pass it on?
The Spurs formation quickly expanded outward.
However, the next second, Chen Yan suddenly collected the ball!
At the same time, he steps out with his left foot in the other direction.
Fake European walk!
Chen Yan deceived everyone with this series of operations!
Then Chen Yan picked it up with his finger and ended it easily!
2 to 2.
"Dig! What a great shot!"
"Ghostly footsteps, come and go freely!"
"Chen Yan toyed with the Spurs' entire defense!"
"After the game, Chen Yan will probably be reported by the Spurs as a fraudster."
