Lakers fans caused a lot of trouble for Suns players outside the court. The Suns' bus encountered various chases and interceptions along the way!
This is how Los Angeles fans support their team.
The Suns management will not complain to the league. This is the atmosphere of rivalry. The treatment of Lakers players when they come to Phoenix is similar.
Before the game, Coach D'Antoni specially played a clip from the "Independence Day" movie in the locker room.
The president played by Pullman shouted loudly: "We will not die in silence like this, and we will not die without a fight. We will eventually save ourselves from danger, and we will definitely survive bravely!"
These words are also the voice of the Suns players. They have worked hard all season to get here and will not be willing to stop in the Western Conference Finals.
Especially for veterans like Nash and Hill, this year can be said to be the closest they have ever been to a championship!
Before walking out of the tunnel, team leader Nash gathered everyone together:
"Let go of all our baggage and unleash all our energy!"
The Battle of Tianwang Mountain determines the direction of the entire series, and no one does not understand this.
After Nash finished speaking, Chen Yan silently opened the system.
【Status Improvement Card】——Buy!
Honor points -25.
[Status Improvement Card]——Use!
It’s time for forced cheating again!
Chen Yan has only one goal, and that is to win.
As the outside world says, Chen Yan is the key to victory for the Suns. If he does not perform at a high level, the possibility of the Suns winning the Lakers in the away game is extremely slim!
If this game is gone, then the Suns' entire season's efforts may be in vain.
After the appearance ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were officially announced!
Phoenix Suns: Nash, Chen Yan, Raja Bell, Diaw, Stoudemire.
Los Angeles Lakers: Troy Hudson, Kobe Bryant, James Posey, Garnett, Kwame Brown.
In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, ‘Zen Master’ Phil Jackson very cautiously put ‘Old Fish’ Fisher, the winner of the last game, on the bench.
Phil Jackson didn't want to see Chen Yan crazily calling out Fisher at the beginning of the game, using his speed to tear apart the team's defense and attack the team's inside line.
This will disrupt the deployment of the ‘Zen Master’.
Although Troy Hudson's defensive ability is not strong, he is extremely fast, at least he will not be frequently called out by Chen Yan.
Fisher was a little unhappy. As the winner of the last game, he had to sit on the bench after a game. Anyone else would feel unhappy.
However, Fisher did not complain. Firstly, it was not conducive to team unity. Secondly, as a role player, he did not have much qualifications to complain.
"Okay! We can see that the starting lineups of both sides have been announced! This key battle in the Western Conference finals is about to begin!" Yu Jia said excitedly to the camera.
Today his partner as commentator is still Mr. Zhang Lili.
Zhang Lili nodded immediately and said: "This game is also called the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. The outcome of the game is likely to directly affect the trend of the series. However, Chen Yan has never lost the Battle of Tianwang Mountain in his career, so I believe that the Sun
The whole team is full of confidence in this game!”
After listening to Zhang Lili's words, Yu Jia almost laughed out loud.
God has never lost the Battle of Tianwangshan. Prior to this, Chen Yan had only played one Battle of Tianwangshan in the series with the Spurs, okay?
Zhang Lili's praise of Chen Yan has reached an almost crazy level.
Just as the two commentators were talking to each other, the game started!
Garnett beat Stoudemire and won the jump ball!
Troy Hudson got the ball and immediately handed it to Kobe.
Kobe made a gesture directly after halftime.
In the first round of the game, he will start a singles!
After two crotches, Kobe changed his direction and walked inside.
Facing Laga Bell's defense, Kobe took a shot from mid-range.
"Whoa!"
First shot, first score!
The scene was filled with excitement. Kobe hitting the ball on his first shot was a good sign for the team.
"Defense!!"
"Defense!!"
"Defense!!"
During the Suns' offensive round, as soon as Nash received the ball in the backcourt, the Lakers fans burst into deafening cheers.
From the first round, Lakers fans tried their best to put pressure on the Suns players.
Nash played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire after halftime.
He was the instigator of the Suns' first-round offense.
After the pick-and-roll, Stoudemire cuts inside, while Chen Yan on the other side moves to the outside.
Nash saw the movements of his two teammates at the same time, but he chose to hand the ball to Stoudemire, who was in a better position.
Stoudemire catches the ball and gets strong!
Garnett also defended this ball tough!
The moment the two bodies were in confrontation, Stoudemire made a throw.
"Clang!"
Garnett still interfered with Stoudemire's offense, and the basketball came out of the frame!
Kwame Brown protected the rebound and handed it to point guard Troy Hudson. Kobe Bryant signaled not to rush forward.
Kobe is very experienced. He knows that when playing against the Suns, he still has to play steadily and steadily to avoid falling into their rhythm.
At the top of the key, Kobe catches the ball.
Troy Hudson's role is similar to Fisher, he is a tool man who controls the ball in half the court.
The only difference between the two offensively is that Fisher's outside shooting is more stable. Compared to Fisher, Troy Hudson is like a nerve knife, very accurate and very iron.
Troy Hudson's masterpiece was his 37 points on just 16 shots in the first round of the 2003 playoffs.
In this round, Kobe did not signal for singles, but called for a pick-and-roll.
Garnett covered his crotch and raised his head.
If it were someone else on the pick-and-roll, the Suns players could spare no effort to double-team Kobe, but Garnett couldn't.
No team in the league would be stupid enough to leave a star of Garnett's caliber open, which is why the pick-and-roll between Kobe and Garnett is so powerful.
After the pick-and-roll, Kobe took advantage of the Suns' change of defense and pulled up directly from the top of the arc!
This shot was shot very resolutely!
"Whoa!"
The basketball hit the net and Kobe scored 4 points in a row!
Kobe's eyes were very cold at this moment, and even the ball boys on the field could tell that the Black Mamba was already in form!
Sun attack.
In this round, amid the deafening boos from the home fans, the Suns made mistakes in their cooperation!
Nash's pass hit Raja Bell's thigh and bounced out of bounds.
Transition of possession!
The Suns' sluggish start made D'Antoni anxious. He yelled from the sidelines to get the players to focus.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kobe took action again!
This time it was a shot from the left three-point line that came out of an off-ball screen.
"Whoa!"
Hit again!
After scoring 7 points in a row at the beginning, Kobe was ready to take over the game.
"Well done! Kobe!"
"Keep putting the ball in the basket one after another!"
"Kick their butts!"
"Let those little chickens in the sun despair!"
Kobe's fiery touch also made the home fans' emotions even higher!
However, Chen Yan did not intend to let the game become Kobe's show alone.
Sun attack round.
Chen Yan reached for the ball from a 45-degree three-point angle on the left!
The team had a bad start and it was time to play its offensive role.
Nash quickly hit the ground and handed the ball to Chen Yan, then ran to the baseline to smoke.
Laga Bell ran to the other corner.
The court was stretched wide, and Chen Yan started to play singles with the ball.
Chen Yan attracts hatred very much, and the noise on the scene becomes much louder when he gets the ball.
But Chen Yan was not only unaffected but even more excited.
He is the kind of player whose desire to perform becomes stronger with greater pressure!
This is also the reason why he can always make winning shots.
Chen Yan began to shake his shoulders and crotch rhythmically.
As a famous ankle finisher in the league, Chen Yan's dribbling and dribbling skills are every defender's nightmare!
Although James Posey was fully focused, he still lost his defensive focus due to Chen Yan's shaking.
Chen Yan suspended the ball with his left hand. The moment James Posey's center of gravity shifted, he leaned over and sprinted, passing him cleanly!
Kobe wanted to come up and make up for it, but Chen Yan didn't give him a chance and stepped directly past Kobe!
His super explosive power makes Chen Yan's breakthrough very threatening. As long as he explodes, he can grab the position, leaving the defensive players unable to attack.
After passing Kobe, Chen Yan holds the ball and rushes!
In the penalty area, Chen Yan took off directly against Kwame Brown.
The two took off at the same time, but Kwame Brown soon realized something was wrong.
I am already falling, why is this boy Chen Yan still rising?
Out of instinctive reaction, Kwame Brown chose to dodge sideways in the air, but he still couldn't escape the bad luck of being dunked!
"Boom!!"
A thunderous strike!
The Suns bench stands up!
This goal not only successfully stopped the bleeding of the team, but also boosted morale!
"nice shot!!!"
"Just block it! It's unreasonable!"
"Kwame Brown uses jumping, and Chen Yan uses flying. How to defend against it?"
"Agility and domineering!"
Domestic fans exclaimed.
They like to watch Chen Yan's three-pointer with a hundred steps, and they also like to watch Chen Yan's hard dunk when he breaks into the basket!
Now in the eyes of fans, Chen Yan is synonymous with entertainment.
"Tougher! Tougher! Pull him down directly next time, don't let your opponent humiliate you!" Looking at the embarrassed Kwame Brown, Garnett roared with great dissatisfaction.
Kwame Brown didn't dare to argue with Garnett. Role players are not qualified to challenge superstars.
Kwame Brown walked with his head lowered and silently served to the baseline.
Lakers offensive possession.
Troy Hudson still looked for Kobe after halftime.
But his intentions this round are too obvious!
Chen Yan was highly focused and shot out from behind Kobe at the moment Troy Hudson sent the ball.
"Crack!"
The steal was successful!
Kobe stumbled and could only watch as Chen Yan shot a single shot forward.
Troy Hudson, who had just made a mistake, retreated quickly, trying to make up for his mistake and make a meritorious deed!
However, his height of 185cm is completely insufficient in front of Chen Yan.
Chen Yan didn't do any fancy moves, he started directly in front of him, and a high ball passed over his head.
Sweeping layup!
"Whoa!"
Chen Yan hit the basket with his fingertips.
The finish is very soft!
4 to 7.
After scoring, Chen Yan deliberately looked at Kobe Bryant and said that this game is not your stage alone!
