"Walterfak! What did Chen do? He just flew away in full view of everyone!"
Narrator Barkley held his head and exclaimed.
Barkley is considered a well-informed star, and at this moment he was also impressed by Chen Yan's exaggerated dunk.
"A moment to show his talent! I really want to know what he was thinking during the flight, what to eat tonight? Or which nightclub to celebrate after the game?" said another commentator, Kenny Smith.
Barkley laughed and said: "Hahaha, I don't know what Chen is thinking. I only know that what I think is that Chen should take it easy. I'm afraid that he will hit the backboard with his head when he flies into the sky!"
"As long as it doesn't hit the roof of the arena, I don't think it's a big problem." Kenny Smith also showed off his sense of humor.
TV5's camera also repeatedly replayed Chen Yan's free throw line dunk just now.
When the camera showed a close-up of Chen Yan's face, all the female students in primary and secondary schools in China burst into admiration.
"So handsome!"
"Who is this person? Is he Chinese?"
"A real-life version of Rukawa Kaede?"
"Wow, from today on I have to learn to watch basketball too!"
Girls and boys pay different attention. They look more at faces.
Chen Yan never dreamed that one day he would be able to harvest a wave of fans from primary and secondary school students.
"No way? You don't even know Chen Yan?"
"Oh, he is Chen Yan. It's a little different from what I imagined. I thought everyone who plays basketball is the same as Yao Ming."
"I'm really speechless. You don't usually watch the news?"
“Don’t care about sports!”
The boys were all surprised that these girls didn’t even recognize Chen Yan?
But think about it from another perspective, these boys probably can’t name the members of the Korean groups TVXQ and Super Junior that girls like. People usually don’t pay much attention to fields that they are not interested in.
After the timeout, the Cavaliers were still beaten.
Both in terms of momentum and scene, they were in a suppressed state.
In addition to the Suns constantly naming the Cavaliers' twin towers, their outside firepower has also never stopped.
At the end of the first quarter, the Suns led the Cavaliers by 32 to 22 by a full 10 points.
Chen Yan scored 8 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds, Nash had 7 points and 4 assists, Stoudemire had 5 points and 3 rebounds, Boris Diaw had 4 points, Laja Bell had 3 points, Azubuike had 3 points, and Grant Hill had 2 points.
point.
The Phoenix Suns' firepower is very scattered. 7 of the 8 players who played in the first quarter scored. This is good news for the Suns. It is often the most difficult to defend when everyone is full.
The highest scorer for the Cleveland Cavaliers was Larry Hughes. He scored 7 points and 1 rebound in the first quarter. James did not have a strong desire to attack at the beginning and only scored 6 points.
However, James sent out 4 assists in the first quarter and did a great job connecting the team. This is what he is best at.
O'Neal, who has high hopes from Cavaliers fans, only scored 4 points on 1 of 3 shots and 2 of 4 free throws. O'Neal's efficiency was not high tonight, and the Suns did not even adopt the 'shark-killing tactics' planned before the game.
Except for the big dunk that shocked everyone at the beginning, 'Old Shark' failed to hit the target in his other two sports games. Facing the Suns' weak defense, 'Old Shark' also failed to gain any advantage. Time has left its mark on him.
There are obvious traces left.
The Suns' players had done enough homework before the game. They knew that O'Neal was no longer as unsolvable as before. As long as he was not allowed to catch the ball in a comfortable position, he could be restricted to a great extent.
"The Cavaliers had big problems on both ends of the offense and defense in the first quarter. The Twin Towers seemed to have an advantage in the paint, but they didn't match up well with James. LeBron is a player with strong impact. Compared with the Twin Towers, he is more powerful.
He needs a group of shooters around him to help him open the floor."
During the break, Barkley hit the nail on the head and pointed out the Cavaliers' current problems.
Kenny Smith nodded in agreement: "Throughout O'Neal's entire career, one of the most important team configurations is that the power forward position must be equipped with players with strong mobility, such as AC Green, Cobra Grant, and Samakhi Walker during the OK Dynasty.
, Robert Holly is this type of player, whenever the opponent switches defense, they are responsible for defending, while O'Neal only needs to sit at the basket and be responsible for protecting the frame and rebounding."
Barkley responded: "If I were Mike Brown, I would choose Varejao to partner with Shaq, so that the Cavaliers' lineup will be relatively balanced. Superstition about the Twin Towers will only make the Cavaliers farther and farther away from victory."
Cavaliers bench.
"LeBron! Go hit the basket, the team needs you to strengthen your personal offense!"
James' performance in the first quarter was average, and coach Mike Brown hammered him during the break.
James nodded. When his teammates can't score, passing the ball can't solve any problems.
In the second quarter, James continued to play with the substitute lineup.
The Cavaliers are going to take advantage of the Suns' main force to let James chase points.
As soon as James came up, he used the screen to kill the basket!
"Boom!"
A signature tomahawk dunk, very domineering!
Looking back, Grant Hill took the ball and hit a mid-range jumper.
The Suns' bench lineup also has strong offensive firepower. Grant Silbaria and Azubuike-Barnes are all players with outside shooting ability.
The Cavaliers attacked in the second round of the second quarter.
James is going to follow the same pattern and continue to hit the basket after using the screen!
Barnes on the other side of the penalty area is not going to give him another chance to wreak havoc on the basket!
"Crack!"
A tough foul!
Barnes violently knocked James over and at the same time knocked the hair tie off his head!
During this period, James and his headband were integrated, and he wore them in basically every game. In addition to covering sweat, James also had a secret to wearing a headband, which was to block his increasingly upward hairline.
The headband was blown off in full view of everyone. James was naturally very angry and immediately rushed to Barnes to argue with him.
Barnes was not afraid of James at all. He directly had a close contact with James and put his forehead on James's.
He is a player with such a character that he would dare to do anything to anyone, and the two of them would have problems during the regular season.
During the regular season, James gave James an elbow and caused him to bleed. It must be that Barnes has been holding back his anger for a long time.
Although James later stated in front of the media that he did not mean it, this was just an explanation and not an apology, and Barnes obviously would not accept it.
The two were going up against each other on the court, and the fans on the sidelines were also cheering crazily and greeting James in various kind words!
Chen Yan and all the main players also stood up to support Barnes!
James is a top star, but this is Phoenix's territory and no one will spoil him!
