Fans don’t know if Chen Yan can win the scoring title this season, but fans know that he was completely open tonight.
In the next round, use the misfiring Suns of the Cavaliers' offense to counterattack again.
‘White Chocolate’ Williams sent a ground pass that ran through half court to find Chen Yan.
Just looking at the enjoyment of passing the ball, 'White Chocolate' Williams is no worse than Nash.
Sometimes his passing is even more exciting than Nash, but basketball is not just for viewing. Jason Williams is not on the same level as Nash in terms of stability, shooting ability, field control ability and overall view.
, but it is definitely enough for a player like him to be the second or third point guard.
Chen Yan took two steps with his left hand, then suddenly slowed down outside the three-point line, and then moved closer with his right hand.
When Xiao Mo saw Chen Yan making a forward shot, he pounced on him without hesitation.
After a pause, Chen Yan made a "worship to the Buddha" and succeeded.
After passing Xiao Mo, Chen Yan accelerated to rush into the frame. Pavnovic came from the flank to cover up the defense. Chen Yan caught a glimpse of Pavnovic from the corner of his eye, but chose to ignore him and take off directly.
If it were James, Chen Yan would still be wary of him. A guy with average athletic ability like Pavnovic would basically not pose a threat to him.
The two took off at the same time, and Chen Yan glided past Pavnović with a long distance before hitting a one-handed layup.
Chen Yan's movements are smooth yet powerful. They look simple but have an indescribable sense of freedom. This feeling is neither elegant nor violent, but somewhere in between these two things.
There are great scorers in every era, but there are not many players who can score points efficiently and play games that are so entertaining to watch at the same time.
Chen Yan scored 5 points in a row, and Mike Brown called a timeout.
After the timeout, the Cavaliers replaced the main lineup, with O'Neal, Larry Hughes and Varejao appearing at the same time.
The Suns also replaced Nash, and rookie Jordan was left on the court. D'Antoni felt that he did a good job in rebounding during this period.
Restart the ball.
Mo Williams received the ball from the sideline, and James pulled to the wing to provide support.
Mo used the pick-and-roll to break through, and Jordan and Stoudemire blocked the penalty area.
Both of them are jumping men with outstanding physical talents. Xiao Mo has no need to ask for trouble. He suddenly stopped and turned around, and Xiao Mo distributed the ball.
Varejao faced off against 'White Chocolate' Williams, but he didn't dare to fight. This was related to Varejao's independent offensive ability.
Varejao handed the ball to the wing James and used the opportunity to cover him.
James broke through to the basket in a shock wave style, attracted three defensive players and then released the ball to the limit.
"The field of vision is very wide! LeBron passed the ball to Larry Hughes, who took a wide open shot!" Barkley reported the situation on the court in real time.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of iron was heard.
"There was a problem with the Suns' defense this round. Everyone was attracted by LeBron, but Larry Hughes still didn't seize the opportunity."
So far, Larry Hughes's score is still 0. The main defender Chen Yan is under a lot of pressure, which has also greatly affected Larry Hughes' performance on the offensive end.
Chen Yan accurately judged the landing point of the rebound and immediately advanced after receiving the ball.
James, Larry Hughes and Xiao Mo retreated quickly.
James and Larry Hughes were responsible for keeping an eye on Chen Yan, while Xiao Mo focused on Nash on the other side.
In the frontcourt of 2 on 3, Chen Yan did not attack hard. When the ball was brought one step inside the three-pointer, Chen Yan suddenly braked suddenly. After pulling the ball back, he suddenly walked outside the three-point line.
Another reverse breakthrough?
Chen Yan has done this kind of operation more than once, and James and Larry Hughes quickly followed suit.
Chen Yan's strokes were very smooth tonight and he was a great threat from beyond the three-point line.
After dribbling the ball beyond the three-point line, Chen Yan suddenly stopped attacking.
James and Larry Hughes don't dare to neglect, Chen Yan has too many extraordinary tricks!
The two of them stayed where they were and watched Chen Yan's actions.
After a second's pause, Chen Yan suddenly threw the ball diagonally to the side. Stoudemire, who was inserted behind him, took a dribble and took three big steps.
"Boom!"
There was a cry from the basket, the little bully and the giant tripod succeeded!
James and Larry Hughes looked at each other. Their attention was focused on Chen Yan and they ignored Stoudemire, who hit the ball at high speed.
Chen Yan looked at the two of them with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
I'm waiting for my teammates, what are you waiting for?
The Cavaliers attacked and O'Neal asked for the ball in the low post.
Xiao Mo lobbed the ball into the paint, O'Neal made a back-up move and then turned around forcefully!
O'Neal's confrontation was so strong that Jordan was almost unable to jump.
O'Neal took off against him and succeeded in beating the frame with both hands!
"Beep!"
The referee blows the whistle, signaling a dunk and causing an additional penalty.
O'Neal rested for most of the first quarter and then rested for 4 minutes in the second quarter. He was very energetic and bombed the basket as soon as he came up.
"DeAndre Jordan's defensive experience is still lacking. This ball did not use a semi-forward defense, which made it too comfortable for O'Neal to catch the ball." Director Xu said.
Zhang Liangyi also nodded and said: "This is a common mistake made by rookies. Their ability to understand the game is not as good as that of veterans. In the round just now, DeAndre Jordan asked O'Neal to take the position too deep, which caused
What are the consequences? O'Neal takes one step and then turns around to face the basket directly. Although he is getting older, O'Neal's lethality in the small penalty area is still huge. It is basically difficult to guard him when he takes off from this position.
Already."
Chen Yan saw Xiao Qiaodan's annoyance. Chen Yan walked up to him and said, "It's okay, relax, it's only 20."
O'Neal also gave Chen Yan a lot of face, and after a few seconds he missed the extra penalty.
Jordan successfully protected the rebound and handed the ball to Nash.
Nash licked his fingers and dribbled forward.
The left three-pointer was 45 degrees. Nash moved towards the midline with his hips. Chen Yan came up and made a fake handoff with Nash.
Chen Yan attracted the Cavaliers' defensive attention to a certain extent, while Nash continued to dribble the ball laterally and played a pick-and-roll with Jordan running from the backcourt.
After blocking, Jordan quickly went down and Nash sent a high throw from a 45-degree angle to the right side of the free throw line.
"Boom!"
Jordan jumped high into the air and smashed the ball in!
O'Pan became Jordan's backdrop this time. Although his back was to Jordan, you can imagine him dunking the ball in the air.
After landing, Jordan looked at the camera and started beating his chest!
An old shark is still a shark. Dunking on such a super insider is enough to excite a rookie like Jordan.
It's enough to be exciting.
O'Neal was very unhappy when he saw this scene and continued to play singles in the next round.
Jordan's stimulant effect had not passed yet, and he received another foul.
After receiving two consecutive fouls in two rounds, D'Antoni also took Jordan off the court to calm down.
O'Neal was dreaming of returning to his peak in this quarter, scoring 9 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block in a single quarter.
However, O'Neal's performance on the offensive end cannot make up for his shortcomings on the defensive end. In the past, his biggest shortcoming was his inability to guard against pick-and-rolls. Now as he grows older, his shortcomings continue to be magnified. As long as he is on the court, Nash and Chen Yan will take turns.
Playing out of position and constantly using mid-range to punish him is a classic way to deal with O'Neal.
At halftime, the Suns led the Cavaliers by 20 points 64 to 44.
Chen Yan's half-time statistics were 30 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.
Domestic fans are very satisfied with Chen Yan's performance today. After winning the medal in the Olympics, more and more fans began to pay attention to the NBA, and a large number of them are female fans who were fans of Chen Yan in the Olympics.
Seeing Chen Yan's halftime statistics, the fans also exclaimed happily: "If you score 30 points in the half, then you can't score 60 points in the whole game?"
However, basketball games are not simple addition arithmetic. After three quarters, Chen Yan's statistics did not increase much, with 35 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.
D'Antoni sent out a lineup of smaller shooters in the second half of the third quarter, including Nash, Chenyan, Laja, Bell, Novak, and Barnes.
The advantage of this lineup is that it can open up the offensive space. In the huge space, Chen Yan also strengthened his personal breakthroughs and frequently used his impact to create shooting space for outside players.
Although Chen Yan's personal score did not increase much in this quarter, the team's score increased rapidly.
After three quarters, the Suns already led the Cavaliers by 88 to 63 by a full 25 points.
New aid Novak, who had average performance in the first half, hit two three-pointers in this quarter. A pure shooter like Novak must have someone pass the ball to him to create space for him.
D'Antoni has also seen this, and putting Novak next to Nash and Chen Yan can better utilize his shooting power.
The final quarter of the game started quickly. The Suns' main players temporarily took a rest, but James remained on the court.
As soon as James came up, he took continuous screens and rushed inside, and finally ended the offensive round with a powerful and heavy tomahawk chop.
James' dunk was very domineering, but it didn't help the situation much. In a university cafeteria in China, a round head wearing glasses pointed at the screen and laughed: "We are already 25 points behind. Why did we miss this dunk?"
All members of the Cavaliers felt average tonight, including James himself. Even if the main players of the Suns were not present, they did not seize the opportunity to catch up with the score.
At 8 minutes and 01 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Suns' starting lineup once again came into action.
The slight point difference that the Cavaliers finally caught up with was widened again.
At 6 minutes and 19 seconds of the fourth quarter, Chen Yan moved quickly and received a pass from Nash from outside the three-point line.
James is very mobile and lets go of his opponent and pounces on him immediately.
Chen Yan didn't dodge, he only had eyes for the basket.
James pounced a little hard and hit Chen Yan on the wrist. James was a little bit emotional after falling behind by a big score.
Chen Yan instantly lost his balance in the air.
Chen Yan's body was deflected, but the flight path of the ball was not deflected!
"Whoa!"
Enter the network immediately!
The referee's whistle sounded long ago.
Chen Yan scored 31!
This is also Chen Yan’s ninth three-pointer of the game.
Zhang Lili shouted excitedly: "Although James defended this ball very timely, Chen Yan still made a three-pointer."
Director Xu smiled: "If the defense hadn't been so timely, Chen Yan wouldn't have been able to score 31."
This 31 completely defeated the Cavaliers. After two rounds, Mike Brown replaced all the main players and chose to surrender.
James silently returned to the bench. The big loss in the opening game made him feel very uncomfortable.
The Cavaliers make great efforts to strengthen their team every year, but every year they are unable to find the support person James wants.
This is the stupidity of the Cavaliers management. They are strengthening every year, but the purpose of strengthening is not to win the championship but to retain James. James is a box office guarantee and a money-attracting tree. As long as they retain James, they can make a lot of money.
.
James is a shrewd guy, and he will not be fooled by management's tactics. During the Olympics, he had contact with stars such as Wade, Bosh, Howard and even Kobe.
But it was only at the contact stage. He knew very well that Cleveland, a small and broken place, could not attract stars. If he wanted to change, he would have to leave on his own.
But running away is not that simple. James knows his trade value very well. Whichever team wants him will definitely have to bleed a lot. Just like when Kobe and the Bulls had an affair, the Lakers asked the Bulls for almost 2
/3 players, including Noah, Ben Gordon, Nocioni, Luol Deng and other powerful new stars, and the Bulls agreed to all of them in order to get Kobe.
Seeing that both teams have agreed to the deal, this time it was Kobe's turn to disagree. The Bulls gave away everyone they could play. Even if Kobe joins the Bulls, his strength is still not as good as the Lakers. So what's the point?
Now James is facing the same situation, so his best choice now is not to force the management to get excellent helpers, nor to make a transfer, but to quietly play until the end of this contract, and then make plans.
The game ended with a burst of cheers from all the fans, and the Phoenix Suns bloodbathed the Cleveland Cavaliers at home, 114-86.
James led his teammates to leave the field sadly.
James couldn't beat the Suns in the Finals a few months ago, and he still couldn't win the opening game a few months later.
