The away victory made Chen Yan relieved, and he had a good sleep after returning to Phoenix.
When I woke up the next day, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Chen Yan did not read the news. He probably already knew what the media would write.
It's nothing more than winning and losing, and Chen Yan now knows these tricks very well.
Chen Yan glanced at his phone. There were dozens of missed calls and hundreds of unread text messages. In the Western Conference Finals 50, Chen Yan once again stole the show. This performance also made the 2007 generation rookie feel even more pressure. Chen Yan has already competed with
The gap between rookies in the same class is at a fault level.
Durant, Conley and others directly shortened their vacations and chose to invest in training earlier. Chen Yan's performance gave them enough pressure and was also an incentive. No one wants to live in the shadow of others for the rest of their lives.
Especially Durant. Before entering the NBA, his nickname was Wannian Lao Er. Since high school, he has been suppressed by a player named Kelsey Bars III. He is ranked second in the United States high school rankings.
During the NCAA, Durant has been living under Oden's halo and can only take second place.
After entering the NBA, Durant didn't want to continue this kind of career. This time he wanted to rise up and be the boss.
May 20th.
Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals moves to Phoenix.
On this day, the sun element is all over the city!
Restaurants, movie theaters and billboards of all sizes are all covered with the sun’s logo.
American West Arena, all Suns No. 0!
After consecutive high-profile performances in the playoffs, Chen Yan's popularity has risen rapidly. He has become a veritable city hero in Phoenix, and his popularity has even surpassed Nash and Stoudemire!
It is difficult to win the love of fans in a city. You need to perform individual performances while continuously helping the team win, but it is easy for Chen Yan because he has been doing such things all season.
The fans showed great enthusiasm from the warm-up stage of the game. They gave applause to the Suns fans and cursed and booed to the Lakers generals led by Kobe and Garnett.
"Charles, the atmosphere at the American West Arena is extremely hot tonight. Will the fans be so crazy when you play?" Kenny Smith asked.
Barkley smiled: "The fans here have always been crazy. This is because the Suns always have players who make the fans crazy. It used to be me and now it's Chen."
Kenny Smith smiled and said nothing. Barkley was always so shameless, whether as a player or as a commentator.
Seeing that Kenny Smith did not answer, in order to avoid embarrassment, Barkley continued: "Those crazy players are scoring maniacs. No matter how many people block it and how tricky the angle is, they can accurately send the ball into the net, especially
It’s Kobe and Chen.”
Kenny Smith nodded: "Yes, these two guys both scored 50 in the last game. Their duel will be the highlight of tonight."
Barkley and Kenny Smith doing pregame warmups.
As commentators, they know exactly what kind of game the fans want to see most.
Soon, the entrance ceremony began!
The Suns players took the field surrounded by home fans!
The DJ boosted the atmosphere of the whole venue and the fans shouted wildly!
In this environment, Chen Yan's adrenaline surged instantly!
Chen Yan felt very excited, this was the home game he had not seen for a long time!
Chen Yan also successfully extended the excitement to the playing field.
In the first round of the game, he performed a logo-shot!
"Whoa!"
Water splashes everywhere!
The emotions of the home fans were like the blooming water, exploding all of a sudden!
Then the Suns outside players collectively burst into cheers from the home fans!
After the first quarter, the Suns hit a total of 6 three-pointers and led the Lakers by 8 points 28-20.
In the second quarter of the game, the Suns' offensive continued unabated, and the outside players continued their hot touch in the first quarter.
After halftime, the Suns, from the main team to the substitutes, had already scored 14 three-pointers!
The Suns led the Lakers by 15 points at halftime through a strong three-pointer.
During halftime, Barkley joked: "Are you afraid of heavy rain? The Suns rained three points at their home court tonight."
Kenny Smith laughed: "And it's still raining heavily. Phil Jackson should probably contact the logistics team to hand over a raincoat to the Lakers players!"
In the second half, the Los Angeles Lakers tried to reverse their disadvantage through tactical and personnel adjustments.
But any tactics are useless in the face of touch. The Suns generals used precise outside strikes to smash the Lakers' plan to chase points.
In the final quarter, the Suns' lead reached an exaggerated 20 points.
This is the largest point difference between the two sides in this series.
Kobe did not allow the team to lose so embarrassingly, so Kobe turned on his personal offensive mode in the last quarter.
'Zen Master' Phil Jackson also acquiesced to Kobe's behavior. Even if he can't win, Phil Jackson doesn't want the team to lose too ugly. Face is on the one hand, morale is on the other hand. If you lose too many points in a single game, it will be detrimental to the ball.
Team morale would be a serious blow.
Kobe's continuous strong play had a short-term effect, and the point difference was once forced to about 10 points.
But soon the Suns once again opened up the score with strong running and gunning.
The Suns firmly controlled the rhythm of tonight's game, which caused the Lakers to play very hard. In the end, the Lakers lost G3 87 to 101 in the midst of suffering.
For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant made 12 of 27 shots and scored 32 points. Garnett contributed 22 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks.
Except for the two superstars, no Lakers player scored in double figures in this game. James Posey had 7 points, Fisher had 7 points, Radmanovic had 6 points, and Kwame Brown had 5 points...
..
The performance of the role players obviously could not help the Lakers win. When he left the field in the last minute of the game, Kobe angrily hammered the seat cushion to vent his dissatisfaction.
Six players from the Suns scored in double figures in this campaign, which was in sharp contrast to the weakness of the Lakers' role players.
Stoudemire had a team-high 27 points and 11 rebounds, Nash had 14 points and 9 assists, Diaw had 13 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds. The substitutes also had outstanding performances. Grant Hill had 12 points and 4 rebounds, and Azubuike also had 12 points and 4 rebounds.
10 points are credited.
Chen Yan's statistics for this game were 25 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds. The collective outburst of his teammates made him deliberately reduce the number of personal shots.
Although the data has dropped compared to the previous games, Chen Yan enjoys this way of team winning.
Before walking into the tunnel, Chen Yan clenched his right fist and raised it high in the air, shouting: "This is a Phoenix-style victory!"
