Chapter 343 Unscrupulous? History will only remember the victors!
Tonight, the atmosphere in the entire American West Arena is extremely hot!
There are two T-shirts placed on each spectator's seat, one is an orange unified spectator short-sleeved shirt, and the other is a specially customized white T-shirt.
The white T-shirt has a row of eye-catching words printed on the chest: We are the champions of the Western Conference!
The Suns' equipment department has prepared everything, just waiting for the team to win tonight!
Soon, it was time for the entrance ceremony.
The lights in the arena dimmed instantly, and the Suns players came out one after another amid the cheers of the fans.
The Suns' last player tonight is Chen Yan. This was specially arranged by the Suns players and coaching staff. The purpose is to allow Chen Yan, the hero of the last game, to enjoy the cheers of the home fans!
"Let us welcome the guard from the University of Texas, a player with an extremely big heart, Death Chen~~~~~~~~~~Yan~~~~~~"
With the DJ building momentum, the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak!
"beat-la!"
"beat-la!"
"beat-la!"
After chanting Chen Yan's name, all the fans uniformly shouted the classic slogan "Down with the Lakers"!
Before the game even started, Suns fans tried to overwhelm their opponents with their momentum, showing the horror of America West Arena as the Devils' home court!
Kobe and Garnett were silent when they saw this. Both of them were players who had experienced big scenes, but despite this, they still felt a strong sense of oppression.
With this sense of oppression, the Lakers started their life-and-death battle in the Western Conference Finals!
The Lakers attack first.
In the first attack of the game, Kobe chose to attack by himself. It was obvious that Kobe wanted to enter the offensive mode as early as possible and drive the team through offense. However, his shooting was obviously affected by the finger injury.
"Clang!"
The first shot was successful.
After Stoudemire got the rebound, the Suns quickly switched offense and defense.
During the transition, Diaw caught the ball and shot decisively from mid-range.
Whether it's a counterattack or a positional battle, resolutely shoot the ball whenever you get the chance. This is the Suns' basketball philosophy.
"Clang!"
This ball is also solid.
At the beginning, the two sides came to pay tribute to each other.
The Lakers collected the rebound and continued to organize the offense.
Fisher dribbled the ball across half court.
At the top of the three-point arc, Fisher stopped the ball and looked for Garnett. The intention of passing the ball in this round was too obvious and was directly intercepted by Chen Yan!
Chen Yan continuously led the way and rushed through the center circle in an instant!
1v0 in the frontcourt!
The home fans stood up collectively!
Just when the fans were anticipating what kind of dunk performance he would complete, they saw Chen Yan tapping his toes.
An extremely ordinary civilian makes a layup!
"Whoa!"
0 to 2.
"Oh, the ball was not dunked? Chen Yan and Kobe both seem to have been affected by injuries to varying degrees." Zhang Lili said in the tv5 studio.
"But this is the playoffs. Even if you are injured, you still have to grit your teeth and fight for the honor of the team. This is also the charm of competitive sports!" Yu Jia on the side said gushingly.
What he said was only half right. Kobe did grit his teeth and persevere despite his injuries, but Chen Yan didn't. The system had already repaired his body. Chen Yan's fast break layup was just to save some energy. After all, in the last game
The competition consumes too much...
Lakers offensive possession.
Kobe still chooses to attack on his own, and he still wants to use his personal offense to drive the team.
In this round, Kobe chose to force the start to attack the inside!
"Beep!"
After the referee's whistle blew, Kobe stood at the free throw line.
"Whoa!"
"Bang!"
Kobe Bryant made one of two free throws, and Chen Yan turned around to collect the defensive rebound.
Chen Yan chose to advance alone through the half and did not hand the ball to Nash.
In previous seasons, the Suns had to pass the ball through Nash's hands every round, because Nash was the team's only ball-holding point. Only by handing the ball to him could the team's offense rotate smoothly. But this season is different. Chen Yan
The addition not only gives the team one more ball-holding point, but also gives the team more options for launching attacks.
At the logo one step ahead of the center circle, Chen Yan slowed down to observe the movements of his teammates.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yan pulled it up on the spot!
A sudden logo-shot!
Compared to Kobe's aggressive attack, Chen Yan's attack was obviously much more reasonable.
After all, Kobe's breakthroughs are basically against 2-3 people, while Chen Yan's long three-pointers are all open opportunities. Compared with taking shots against several people, open opportunities are certainly more reasonable.
James Posey knows the power of Chen Yan's long three-pointer, but this round was too sudden!
Chen Yan ejaculated before James Posey could react!
Seeing Chen Yan's super long three-point shot, Kobe's right eyelid jumped wildly!
An ominous omen!
"Whoa!"
The rain falls and the rainbow falls in the next second, and the basketball net blooms!
0 to 5.
"Damn it! It was a super long three-pointer as soon as it came up!"
"Now this kind of super long three-pointer has become Chen Yan's repertoire!"
"Beautiful! You can hit it from any distance as long as you give it space!"
"Chen Yan's projection ability is not from this planet!"
"Pay attention to James Posey's expression, hahahaha!"
"You must concentrate on defending Chen Yan. You will be within his shooting range after halftime!"
"James Posey is not active enough in defense. Why don't you pounce on the ball?"
"I really can't blame James Posey for this shot. Chen Yan's shot was too sudden!"
"Chen Yan cums so fast, I like it so much!"
Fans on major domestic basketball forums were discussing it enthusiastically.
Although fans have watched Chen Yan's super long three-point performance more than once, they still find it exciting every time.
The fans were very excited, but Chen Yan didn't feel anything at all. To him, it was just an ordinary three-pointer.
"Don't give him a chance to shoot from the outside! I'd rather let him rush in than give him a chance to easily shoot a three-pointer!"
As soon as the show started, Phil Jackson couldn't help but get angry.
The last thing Phil Jackson wants to see is Chen Yan shooting away. Once Chen Yan is allowed to shoot away, the Lakers will most likely repeat the mistakes of the last game.
Perhaps Phil Jackson's prayers were heard by God. Chen Yan's shooting touch was average tonight. After making that ultra-long three-pointer, his next two outside shots missed.
But Phil Jackson's brows on the sidelines could not be raised as the Suns' other outside shooters stepped forward.
The Phoenix Shooting Team went online tonight, and all members hit 7 three-pointers in the first quarter. All starting players except Stoudemire scored three-pointers.
32 to 22, a storm of outside firepower helped the Suns lead their opponents by 10 points in the first quarter.
For the Lakers, although Kobe scored 11 points, it took 10 shots.
Injuries and fatigue have obviously affected Kobe's condition and efficiency.
During the break, Kobe's knee was wrapped with a thick ice pack.
In addition to the finger injury, Kobe's knee injury is not optimistic. During the strenuous exercise in the first quarter, obvious redness and swelling appeared around Kobe's knee.
During the break, 'Zen Master' Phil Jackson even bent down to arrange tactics for Kobe. This was Kobe's privilege in the Lakers. This team must rely on Kobe if they want to win. As the team coach, 'Zen Master' knows this best.
A little bit.
All this is seen by the Suns players and the Suns coaching staff.
During the break, Chen Yan even boldly gave suggestions, asking the players to take turns attacking Kobe and consuming him!
D'Antoni also decisively adopted Chen Yan's suggestion. He believed that Kobe, who was already injured under the impact of Suns players, would have an even more difficult time in the next game.
Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this approach is a bit unscrupulous, but unscrupulous on the basketball court has never been a derogatory term.
This move may seem unscrupulous in the eyes of some fans, but unscrupulous on the basketball court is not a derogatory term.
History will not remember details, history will only remember the victors!
Chen Yan is convinced that if the person injured at this time is himself, Kobe will definitely make the same decision!
