All members of the Phoenix Suns went wild tonight, with 6 players scoring in double figures.
Chen Yan had 41 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals, Stoudemire had 20 points and 8 rebounds, Nash had 13 points and 11 assists, Azubuike had 12 points and 3 rebounds, Laja Bell had 11 points, and Diaw had 10 points and 4 assists.
The trident of Chen Yan, Little and Nash scored 74 points together, almost as much as the entire Cavaliers team.
Only three players from the Cleveland Cavaliers scored in double figures: James with 30 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, Mo Williams with 17 points, and O'Neal with 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.
After the game, Kenny Smith commented: "The Cleveland Cavaliers lost unjustly tonight. They couldn't open up the offensive end and restrain the Suns on the defensive end. They were led by the Suns throughout the game."
Barkley's post-game comments were even more sharp: "If James doesn't want to be swept in the Finals for three consecutive years, he'd better find another way out."
Reggie Miller agreed: "The Cavaliers have entered the finals for two consecutive years. On the surface, they are only one step away from the championship. In fact, the gap is huge. At least four Western Conference teams have the strength to defeat the Cavaliers in the series. The Suns
, Cavaliers, Spurs, Mavericks, that is to say, no matter which team in the top half of the Western Conference enters the finals, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to beat them."
Barkley looked directly at the camera and said: "I think there are more than 4 teams. If the Hornets enter the finals, what is the chance of the Cavaliers winning? Even if they encounter the Rockets, can the Cavaliers dare to say that they can win for sure with a team like the Jazz?"
The words of the three people were like a bucket of cold water poured on the heads of Cavaliers fans. Originally, the fans were full of confidence in the Cavaliers' new season. After listening to the words of the three commentators, they even felt that the Cavaliers could start rebuilding...
When being interviewed after the game, the Suns' players were all in high spirits, but the Cavaliers were the complete opposite. They wanted to end these procedures as soon as possible and escape from the sad place of American West Arena.
"We won the opening game with a big score. Are you satisfied with your and the team's performance tonight?" the reporter asked.
"Of course! We won the game, and my personal performance was pretty good. There is nothing more satisfying to me than this." Chen Yan said with a smile while sitting in front of the locker in the locker room.
Chen Yan's upper body was naked and his lower body was wrapped in a bath towel. He put one hand on the back of the chair and looked very relaxed.
After just one season, Chen Yan adapted to the NBA locker room atmosphere.
"Chen, how do you maintain such a strong desire to attack throughout the game?" the reporter asked.
"I have always tried to play aggressively. This is also my usual style of play. I take shots, score, and then help the team win, that's it."
"The team has introduced some new players, and they all made their debut tonight. Let's evaluate their performance." The next reporter asked.
"New aid? Oh! You forgot even if you didn't mention it. I feel very comfortable working with them, just like I have been old teammates for several years!"
Chen Yan’s emotional intelligence class has started!
Jason Williams, DeAndre Jordan and Novak who were standing next to him laughed very happily after hearing this. Chen Yan's answer made them feel that they had further integrated into the team.
Later in the evening, the first day of competition ended.
There were not many games on the first day, three games in total. In addition to the Suns vs. Cavaliers game, there were two other games: Bucks vs. Bulls and Trail Blazers vs. Lakers.
Another Chinese player, the United Arab Emirates, also made his appearance on the first day, but this game was not broadcast because the time conflicted with the Suns vs. Cavaliers.
The number of broadcasts of the Chicago Bulls this year is half that of the Suns and Rockets. From this point of view, we can see the gap between him and the other two Chinese players. The Lakers have a lot of broadcasts, but no one will attribute the credit to Sun Dasheng.
Tonight, Alian scored 9 points and 5 rebounds in 21 minutes of playing time. His home team, the Chicago Bulls, finally defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 109-97.
This data can only be considered satisfactory for the UAE. Although the UAE has a fixed playing time in the Bulls, he still has not established himself in the team. He must compete with Terrence Thomas and Noah for playing time at the same time.
This is not easy for UAE.
Westbrook, the rookie selected by the Bulls in the summer, also made his debut today. Westbrook played 30 minutes and scored 16 points and 6 assists. During the game, he frequently performed dunks on counterattacks. Whether it was on the Bucks' side,
Neither Ridnour nor Michael Redd could keep up with Westbrook's speed. Westbrook's explosiveness also made Bulls fans temporarily forget the pain of not selecting Derrick Rose.
In another game, the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers 96-76.
The Blazers' youth army is still a little immature in front of veterans like the Lakers.
The Yellow Mamba did not compete with the real Mamba tonight. Brand Roy made only 5 of 15 shots in the game under the shadow of Kobe Bryant, and scored 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. In the final quarter, he was directly invisible.
Kobe made 9 of 17 shots and scored 25 points while also getting 11 rebounds and 5 assists. The data fully covered Roy.
Garnett scored a standard double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Although new aid Camby only scored 6 points, he grabbed 11 rebounds and sent an exaggerated 5 blocks, completely blocking the Lakers inside. Ali came on the bench.
Zha performed the most eye-catchingly, scoring 11 points, 2 steals and 1 block. Sun Dasheng did not make his debut tonight. Even in garbage time, there were many players ahead of him.
After the game, Sun Dasheng called Chen Yan to complain. He felt that there were some things that were more appropriate to say to Chen Yan than to Ah Lian and Dayao.
Chen Yan comforted Sun Dasheng with a few words and asked him to work harder in training. This is the only way for him to get ahead. Unlike in the United States, where you can build relationships, you have to work hard to win playing time and the respect of your teammates.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yan was just about to take a shower.
After winning against the Cavaliers, the Suns got two days of rest.
On November 1st, the Phoenix Suns continued to sit at home, and their second opponent in the new season was the New Jersey Nets.
There was no excitement before the game. Last season, the Nets ranked 10th in the Eastern Conference. After sending Kidd away, they had no desire for the record. Both Carter and Jefferson were making transfers. The Nets have just started this season.
Entered the mess mode.
During the warm-up before the game, Carter took the initiative to talk to Chen Yan.
"I watched your performance in the Olympics. That trapeze dunk was wonderful!"
Chen Yan knew that Carter was talking about the dunk over Kaman, so he smiled and said, "That dunk is a tribute to you."
"Hahaha!"
Carter also laughed after hearing this. He had a similar dunk in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. This dunk was also hailed as the dunk of the century by fans.
But after this year's Olympic Games, when people mention the term "dunk of the century" again, they will definitely add Chen Yan's dunk.
The game started quickly. Carter and Jefferson hit consecutive three-pointers at the beginning, but the Nets' resistance only lasted half a quarter.
In the second half of the first quarter, the Nets fell into the Suns' run-and-gun rhythm. The Suns played more smoothly, while the Nets became more chaotic. Without Kidd, the team was like a piece of loose sand.
Sen swung. After Jefferson swung, Carter continued to swoop. There was no strategy at all.
In the end, the Phoenix Suns defeated the New Jersey Nets 107-85 at home and won two consecutive victories this season!
Chen Yan clocked out of get off work in the third quarter tonight and scored 24 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in 28 minutes of playing time.
For the Nets, Carter scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and Jefferson also scored 23 points and 6 rebounds.
Carter and Jefferson are both Buddhists now. When the team should win or lose, they should brush up and wait for the Nets to trade them away.
After this game, the Suns had another two days off, and Chen Yan felt very bored without Taylor to fight against him.
Chen Yan is different from black football stars. He doesn't know that nightclubs don't like partying. The environment is too noisy and playing every night is very taxing on the body.
There is a private cinema in Chen Yan's villa, where he spends his free time watching blockbusters while petting his dog.
As soon as Chen Yan opened the screen, he received a call from Dayao.
"Brother Yao, have you returned to Houston?"
"Yes, I just came back the day before yesterday. I am still focusing on recovery. I have to wait for a while before I can play." Dayao's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"How is your recent weight loss plan going?" Chen Yan asked.
"It's not bad, but I'm hungry every day and want to take a bite of everything I see." Dayao said.
"Hahaha, then you won't eat O'Neal next time you see him, right?" Chen Yan said jokingly.
"No, I'm not that hungry yet," Dayao said.
"Haha, Brother Yao, I hope you can lose weight successfully. This is related to the health of your entire career." Chen Yan said.
"This is a goal I have set for myself. I must succeed! Xiaoyan, I watched your opening game and you played very well. Set a goal for yourself in the new season. Only with goals can you have the motivation to move forward.
." Dayao said.
"It's been decided."
"Tell me about it." Dayao asked with great interest.
"Of course it's the regular season MVP. After all, I've already won the Finals MVP. As for the championship... I've already won it. It would be pretty good if I could defend the title."
After hearing Chen Yan's Versailles remarks, Dayao laughed and said: "Haha, you are ambitious enough! But you still have to balance work and rest. You can play games with me to relax after competitions and training."
Chen Yan was stunned after hearing this. It turned out that this was the theme of Dayao's phone call. He said for a long time that he was playing games with him!
"Warcraft or CS?" Chen Yan asked.
"Warcraft, it's been a long time since we downloaded a book together." Dayao said.
When there is no competition or training time, "World of Warcraft" is Yao Ming's main pastime, and he often plays it all day long. In the past few months, Yao has quit gaming for a period of time in order to focus on the Olympic Games. Now his hands are a little bit weak.
It's itchy.
"Get on the phone, for the sake of the tribe!" Chen Yan hung up the phone after saying that.
Chen Yan and Dayao are fighters on the basketball court, but off the court they are more like two big boys. They do everything ordinary boys do.
