In this round, ‘Old Fish’ Fisher passed half the court and chose to do it himself.
Against Nash's defense, 'Old Fish' forced his way to the free throw line and made a throw.
Lao Yu proved with his actions that he also has a temper!
But Lakers fans would rather he have a smaller temper.
Because he doesn't have Kobe's personal ability, the success rate of this kind of strong play is not high.
"Clang!"
really!
The basketball hit the neck of the basket and bounced out!
Garnett and Stoudemire touched the ball out of bounds while fighting for rebounds.
The referee made a gesture to indicate that the Sun had the ball!
The Suns' attack continues.
Chen Yan held the ball at the top of the arc and silently reached out to call Nash...
‘Old Fish’ looked at the chrysanthemum tightly.
Still coming?
I've been going to school for so many years, and the teachers combined haven't even done the roll call as frequently as you!
The fans also saw it
Are you trying to use Laoyu as a cash machine?
After changing defense, Chen Yan continued to torture ‘Old Fish’ with his speed.
After a change of direction, Chen Yan suddenly started!
Fisher failed to keep up with Chen Yan's rhythm in the first play and immediately gave up the defense.
If he is knocked down three times in three consecutive rounds, then he will really be recorded in history.
After passing Fisher, Chen Yan suddenly dropped his rhythm.
Dry pull-out from a high position!
The rhythm and arc of this ball are perfect!
"Whoosh!"
48 to 43.
The moment the ball scored, Chen Yan smiled charmingly at the camera.
Laoyu brand ATM machine is online again!
"pause!"
‘Zen Master’ Phil Jackson finally couldn’t stand it anymore.
After the timeout, Phil Jackson was forced to take down the old fish.
Fisher is the most stable three-point output point of the Lakers. He has very important strategic significance for the team. However, after a few rounds, he has been named by Chen Yan and cannot take care of himself. He can only temporarily leave the game to adjust.
His replacement was Troy Hudson.
Troy Hudson was the addition to the seven-man trade between the Timberwolves and the Lakers at the beginning of the season. The 32-year-old veteran averaged 16 minutes per game this season and contributed 6.9 points and 2.4 assists. He can barely be regarded as a satisfactory backup point guard.
Troy Hudson's shooting stability is incomparable to Fisher's. His appearance means that the Suns can double-team Kobe more unscrupulously during this period!
Kobe's defensive pressure increased dramatically in the second half of the second quarter, and Garnett's efficiency was average tonight, so Kobe did not reduce the number of shots he took when faced with two or even three players.
But fortunately, Kobe has spent his entire career like this and is basically used to it...
At halftime, the Suns led by 7 points, 53 to 46.
Kobe made 10 field goals in 21 shots and scored a team-high 24 points.
The highest score in the half was 26 points by Chen Yan. He resolutely implemented D'Antoni's tactics from the beginning of the game tonight: remove the passing button!
During the halftime break, both coaches emphasized strengthening the offense.
If the Lakers want to chase points, offense is naturally the first element.
The Suns wanted to maintain the rhythm and further widen the point difference.
As soon as the third quarter started, Garnett hit the basket hard and scored 21!
After scoring the goal, Garnett beat his chest and roared at the bottom line camera. He was very iron-blooded!
Although he is no longer a Timberwolf, the momentum of the Wolf King has not been lost.
Garnett didn't feel good tonight, but a player of this level can still score even if his hands are cold.
After the extra free throw was made, the score difference between the two sides came to 4 points.
In the next few minutes, both sides fell into a state of anxiety.
Entering the second half, Chen Yan still maintained a fierce personal offensive!
James Posey was in good form tonight. He was able to stay in position every time he defended, and even blocked Chen Yan's face occasionally, but even so, he still couldn't stop Chen Yan from scoring points.
Chen Yan can always ignore his defense and send the ball into the basket.
In order to deal with Chen Yan, 'Zen Master' replaced Ariza, another defensive hero of the Lakers.
Ariza missed most of the season due to injury in January due to a fracture of his right foot. He did not return until the Western Conference Finals. Such a game state obviously cannot stop Chen Yan. "Zen Master" letting him play can only be regarded as a dead horse and a living horse doctor.
Chen Yan took 6 shots in the first 6 minutes of the third quarter and hit 5 of them.
After seeing Chen Yan's performance on the offensive end, "Zen Master" also realized that it would not work to guard this guy alone, he would have to double-team!
In addition to double-teaming, the Lakers also increased their defensive intensity again!
The Suns were not to be outdone. Although this was an away game, they played without fear at all. There were constant scenes of players falling to the ground, rushing for the ball, trash talking and even pushing!
The fans at the scene also began to boo the Suns players crazily, venting their emotions to their heart's content!
Lakers fans also wanted to use this sentiment to interfere with Suns players.
This is pressure for other players, but not for Chen Yan.
Under the high-intensity confrontation, both sides' physical energy was severely exhausted.
Kobe kept sucking the sweat from his clothes, while Chen Yan put his hands on his knees and panted.
The decline in physical fitness was also accompanied by a decline in shooting percentage. Both sides were not very efficient at the end of the third quarter.
With 2 minutes and 49 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the score was 72 to 68.
Lakers coach Phil Jackson replaced the 'Old Fish' again in order to improve the team's shooting percentage.
This substitution did improve the shooting percentage, but it was the Suns' shooting percentage.
In the first round when ‘Old Fish’ came on the field, Chen Yan immediately opened the scoring!
"Hey! Chen Yan started to beat Fisher again!" Zhang Lili said with a smile in the cctv5 studio.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yan used Hardaway to change direction and directly shook Fisher away!
After entering the paint, Chen Yan and Garnett competed in the air and threw the ball.
"Beep!"
The ball didn't go in, but the referee's whistle sounded.
Chen Yan got a free throw opportunity.
Garnett glanced at Fisher with a complaining look.
The 'Old Fish' couldn't guard against it, and it was his teammates who suffered.
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
Chen Yan stood on the free throw line and made one of two free throws.
73 to 68.
Lakers offensive possession.
In this round, the Lakers passed the ball very smoothly. Kobe got an opportunity to cut to the basket, attracted a double team and then passed the ball behind the back to Kwame Brown.
Kobe is one of those players who doesn't usually pass the ball, but can easily make the top five passes once he passes the ball.
Kwame Brown didn't have buttery hands this time. He dunked hard with both hands without being marked.
73 to 70.
Sun attack round.
Chen Yan was just about to name the Lakers double-team when he came.
After the pick-and-roll between Chen Yan and Nash, the Lakers did not switch defense, but let James Posey and Fisher play Chen Yan together!
Nash quickly pulled to the outside, and when Chen Yan passed the ball, there was an absolute open space.
However, Chen Yan did not pass the ball. He directly accelerated and passed through the gap between Fisher and James Posey.
Then a small floater hit.
Very freehand!
In the next few rounds, Chen Yan still caught Fisher's point and hit him.
Fisher's advantage lies in his body, but he has no advantage in front of Chen Yan, because Chen Yan always uses speed to break away from his defense and barely makes physical contact with him.
Fisher's mentality was a little broken by Chen Yan. During a defensive process, his body took the initiative to push Chen Yan and staggered.
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle to indicate Fisher's foul.
The cumulative number of fouls in a single quarter reached 5. Fisher's uncool behavior sent Chen Yan directly to the free throw line.
"fraud!"
"actor!!"
"Get out!!"
Staples fans were a little dissatisfied with the referee's decision. They believed that Chen Yan's exaggerated stagger just now was part of an act and was a deliberate attempt to cheat a free throw.
When Chen Yan took a free throw, the home fans collectively protested loudly.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
In spite of the overwhelming abuse, Chen Yan made two free throws.
Looking at the furious home fans, Chen Yan stretched out four fingers of both hands at the same time to indicate that he had scored 44 points in three quarters!
But how could the Staples Center be conquered so easily?
The angry fans shouted in unison the next second:
"Fuck-chen!"
"Fuck-chen!"
"Fakchan!"
"Fakchan!"
"Fakchan!"
Facing the provocation from the fans, Chen Yan not only showed no anger but even listened with a smile on his face, indicating that the insults should be louder!
Chen Yan's smile comes from the inside out. He enjoys this feeling of being the enemy of the entire city!
