"Good shot! Just shoot it like this!" D'Antoni stretched out his hand and gave Zhang Yan a high-five in celebration.
D'Antoni understands the importance of Chen Yan to the Suns. His outside shooting can open up the Suns' overall offense.
"Beautiful! Chen Yan once again hit an incredible long three-pointer. Before this, it was hard to imagine that a player would use long three-pointers as a regular offensive method! Chen Yan's style of play is too advanced, he looks like he is not
A player who belongs to this era!" Yu Jia boasted.
"Chen Yan's wave of personal scoring helped the team narrow the point difference to three points. They have passed the most difficult period and began to slowly take control of the initiative on the court." Zhang Liji said.
"Then it's time to test the Lakers. Whether they can withstand the Suns' fierce offensive and whether they can withstand Chen Yan's fierce personal attack has become the key to whether they can defend their home honor!" Yu Jia continued.
Both commentators picked up what domestic fans liked to hear, and their position was very clear: they supported the Suns without any brains, and supported Chen Yan without any brains.
Many fans previously scoffed at the zone theory put forward by Kenny Smith during the game, but after seeing Chen Yan's full-fire performance of scoring 17 points in a row, more and more fans believe that this is real.
....
Tonight's basket is like the sea in Chen Yan's eyes!
The Lakers attack, and Kobe attempts a single.
The Suns' counterattack is strong, and Kobe Bryant said it's time for him to stand up!
At the top of the arc, Kobe Bryant hit Laga Bell with a series of crotch moves!
Kobe style goal!
Phil Jackson breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines. Kobe's mid-range shot also saved the Lakers a timeout.
If the Lakers miss this round and the Suns continue to feel good in the next round, a timeout in the next round is inevitable.
The current score on the court is 73 to 77.
It's hard to imagine that the Suns are still lagging behind after Chen Yan scored 17 points in a row, but this is the situation now. Chen Yan's personal performance is perfect, but the Lakers' overall performance is also impeccable.
In addition to Kobe, the other Lakers players also performed well, whether on the offensive or defensive end, whether they were main players or role players, they all made corresponding contributions.
Just like 'Zen Master' Phil Jackson's classic cake theory, every role has its own role, and every player should get his own piece of cake. The so-called cake is their responsibilities and data on the court.
, some people focus on rebounding, some focus on organization, some focus on defense, and some are responsible for attacking the city.
When all players get their own piece of cake, the entire team will become very competitive, which is also an important reason why the Suns played so hard tonight.
Sun attack round.
Chen Yan wanted to pick and roll one step outside the three-point line, and Stoudemire stepped up to cooperate.
After the pick-and-roll, Chen Yan did not move in, but dribbled the ball and took a step laterally.
This move made the Lakers players very vigilant, because Chen Yan has shot like crazy tonight, and his three-pointers will kill people!
Garnett switched defense, and James Posey immediately bypassed the screen and appeared in front of Chen Yan.
Another double team attack!
Chen Yan's way of breaking out of double teams is very simple. He first bows to Buddha, and then pushes the ball in front of him!
Chen Yan was like a jumping elf, slipping through the gap between the two of them in the blink of an eye!
Defense must have a focus. Chen Yan knew that the Lakers' defense against him was focused on shooting. Taking advantage of the psychology of the Lakers' defensive players, Chen Yan easily tore apart their defense!
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yan strode in to kill!
At this time, only Kwame Brown is left guarding the Lakers inside!
"Guard him!"
Lakers fans shouted in unison!
The uniform shouts also gave Kwame Brown strength!
Kwame Brown put all the previous embarrassing scenes behind him, stretched out his arms and jumped hard!
Under the atmosphere at home, Kwame Brown's defensive determination is very strong this round!
Even if you can't guard against him, you will pull Chen Yan down and won't let him take action easily!
However, Chen Yan lightly threw the ball into the air before it reached the highest point.
Kwame Brown glanced out of the corner of his eye and Stoudemire took off from behind.
"Bang!!"
Chen Yan assisted Fei Stoudemire in completing an alley-oop dunk!
For Chen Yan, this is a very natural combination.
If Chen Yan's success rate when facing Kwame directly is 80%, then the success rate of leaving it to the unmarked Stoudemire is 100%.
This is a very simple calculation problem.
The score difference is still tight, and the players of both teams are very nervous in such a high-pressure state.
You come and I respond to each other, this is the portrayal of today's game.
After three quarters, the score between the two sides was 77 to 79.
The Suns almost erased the double-digit point difference with Chen Yan's strong performance.
The Suns' even more explosive performance came in the fourth quarter!
In order to save the ball, Chen Yan flew across the baseline and directly knocked over the referee Crawford!
In order to hit a layup under high pressure, Nash almost turned his entire body to 90 degrees, and then fell to the floor regardless of his back injury!
Stoudemire got stuck under the basket and got tangled up with Garnett, almost causing a wrestling match!
Fans have said that this confrontation is reminiscent of the NBA in the 1990s, and it is very enjoyable just to listen to the clash of muscles!
Soon, the game came to the last two and a half minutes of the final quarter.
The Suns are 5 points behind 94 to 99!
There is no doubt that the sun has tried its best!
But when the Lakers shot more than 50% from the field, the Suns' last efforts looked very pale, and they were never able to overtake the score!
It is also very frustrating for the Lakers. So far, Kobe has scored 41 points and Garnett also has a huge double-double with 27 points and 15 rebounds.
When the two superstars Kobe and Garnett break out at the same time, the Lakers can easily win the game at any time, but tonight they were unable to open up the score.
This is directly related to Chen Yan's rampage.
Chen Yan has now scored 47 points. You must know that this was not in the regular season, nor in the first round of the playoffs, but in the Western Conference Finals under the iron-clad defense of the Lakers. The gold content is very high!
At this point in the game, it is a pure contest of willpower. Which team can grit their teeth until the last moment and take away the final victory of the game.
Lakers offense.
Kobe chose to attack the basket in this round. When surrounded by three Suns players, Kobe made a throw!
The basketball made a circle on the basket and rolled out.
The Suns were really strict in guarding Kobe at the last moment!
Before Lakers fans had time to feel sorry, Garnett suddenly emerged and made a tip-in under the basket!
"Whoa!"
94 to 101.
"A very crucial goal! Garnett stepped up after Kobe missed it!" Albert shouted excitedly in the commentary box.
"With a score difference of 7 points and about two minutes, the Suns need heroes!"
As soon as another commentator, Doug Collins, finished speaking, the broadcast camera focused on Chen Yan.
