Chapter 412 Exploding Westbrook, what is the value of a shooting guard?
Chen Yan made an extra free throw and the Suns took a 6-0 lead at the start.
In the commentary box, Kenny Smith said: "Chen taught Westbrook a lesson at the beginning, first with a big block from the front and then with a dunk."
Barkley joked: "After the game, Westbrook turns on the TV and finds that he has scored the top five goals, but they are all in the background."
Kenny Smith laughed: "This is also the only way for a rookie. Only by being severely beaten can you grow."
The commentator thought that Chen Yan's education of Westbrook was over, but he didn't know that this was just the beginning...
The Bulls attacked, and Westbrook was eager to regain the court. After making a circle, he caught the ball at a 45-degree angle from the left three-point line.
Chen Yan quickly followed up and kept serving Westbrook with his elbows.
This kind of small action is normal in the NBA and almost every defender will use it. Chen Yan is helping Westbrook adapt to the NBA's game rhythm in advance.
Westbrook didn't seem to understand Chen Yan's good intentions. He felt that Chen Yan was deliberately messing with his own mentality, so he immediately turned on the reckless mode, dribbling the ball to the free throw line and suddenly stopped with an explosive ball!
Zombie jumper!
The take-off height of Westbrook's jump shot is very high, but the intention of this shot is too obvious. Chen Yan predicted it in advance, and he waited for Westbrook to take off.
"Crack!"
The hot pot is presented, and the hat is pressed in front!
Westbrook put on the mask of pain, and Chen Yan blocked both of his two shots.
Chen Yan threw the ball to look for Nash. Nash drove straight into the penalty area and suddenly threw it behind him. Stoudemire, who followed up, caught the ball and took off directly, unimpeded!
The Suns' entire fast break only took 4 seconds, Phoenix Suns 8:0 Chicago Bulls.
"Westbrook's handling of the ball is very unreasonable, it's a bit of a forced shot." Zhang Liyi shouted.
"Still too young, Westbrook pulled up directly without leaving any space. The slow-motion replay showed that Chen Yan took off before Westbrook took off. It can be seen that his offensive choice in this round has been predicted by Chen Yan.
Here we are." Director Xu said.
"The game has just started, don't be so anxious to give me the block data." Chen Yan said to Westbrook with a smile.
Trash talk is also part of the game. Chen Yan is exercising Westbrook's mental endurance.
"Come again!" Westbrook shouted at Chen Yan.
Westbrook wanted to turn the game into a 1v1 between him and Chen Yan, but his teammates didn't allow it. Hinrich dribbled the ball across half court and ignored Westbrook who wanted the ball. He could see that this guy was already on top.
Hinrich made a tactical gesture to signal Westbrook to squat in the corner. Westbrook had no choice but to obey. Hinrich was a rookie and the big brother of the team.
Ah Lian covered his crotch to cover for Hinrich.
Hinrich took two steps forward and then gave it to the United Arab Emirates. As a traditional point guard, Hinrich always puts organization and passing first. Although Westbrook is a point guard in name only, his playing style is actually more
He prefers shooting guards, which is why Bulls coach Vinnie DeNagro dared to arrange a dual point guard lineup.
The United Arab Emirates didn't have a good chance to make a shot in the high post. After a second of pause, the ball was passed to Gooden.
Gooden receives the ball from the mid-range position in the bottom corner. He and A-Lian both have mid- and long-range abilities. According to current terms, they are both spatial insiders.
When the two people pulled it outward, the inside line was naturally empty.
Luer Deng saw the right opportunity and accelerated to cut in. Gooden sent a pass. Luer Deng caught the ball and flew up for a layup and caused a foul on Laga Bell!
Ragnarok Bale tried his best in this ball. There is a gap between him and Luer Deng in terms of height and mobility. There is really no good way to get him to rush up and catch the ball.
The fans at the United Center had smiles on their faces, the home team finally kicked off!
Luer Deng made an additional free throw amid the cheers of the fans.
8 to 3.
The Suns attacked, Nash gave the ball to Chen Yan, and then the Suns all pulled apart.
Letting Chen Yan challenge a rookie like Westbrook one-on-one is one of the methods with the highest offensive success rate.
Chen Yan made a large crossover and then switched the ball to his left hand.
The moment Westbrook accelerated to catch up, Chen Yan suddenly pulled back and retreated beyond the three-point line.
A small step outside the three-point line, Chen Yan's left hand hovered and his eyes aimed at the frame.
Wei Shao sensed that Chen Yan was about to cum and quickly pounced on him.
Westbrook has excellent physical fitness, but most of the time his defense relies on brute strength and no skills at all, so he feels a little exhausted under Chen Yan's mobilization.
Chen Yan responded accordingly, and the moment Westbrook pounced on him, he easily passed him with a bow.
Chen Yan's playing style changes according to the changes of his opponent. If Westbrook doesn't pounce on him, he will take a three-pointer. For Westbrook, his best choice is to keep a certain distance from Chen Yan and determine Chen Yan's next step.
Action after action.
However, this can only achieve a certain degree of interference and cannot completely restrict Chen Yan. Therefore, when Westbrook has the idea of completely locking Chen Yan out, he is destined to lose.
After easily passing Westbrook, Chen Yan advanced into the Bulls' hinterland. Arab League pounced as a defensive player. At this time, Chen Yan had many offensive options. He could shoot, pass, and even take another step to break in.
Chen Yan raised his hand and threw it before Ah Lian was in place!
A very soft shot!
"Whoa!"
Chen Yan's throwing arc was very high, and the basketball flew into the sky and fell straight into the net!
10 to 3.
Westbrook has become the Bulls' biggest breakthrough point. Chen Yan targeted him tonight and kept looking for opportunities in him.
However, Bulls coach Vinnie DeNagro has no intention of replacing Westbrook.
As a rookie, having to suffer a few times in front of a player of Chen Yan's caliber is beneficial to his growth.
The Bulls' offense continues to be handled by Luer Deng.
Luer Deng made a change of direction and then leaned on Laga Bell to force a layup.
10 to 5.
During this period when the Bulls' offense couldn't get going, Luol Deng was their most trusted player.
Although Lagar-Bale was very close to him in the round just now, the interference to Luer Deng was very limited. Luer-Deng was a natural mismatch against Lagar-Bale.
D'Antoni glanced at Barnes on the bench. His height is more suitable for guarding Luer Deng than Raja Bell. He may have to play a little longer tonight.
The Suns attacked, and Westbrook breathed a sigh of relief because Chen Yan did not touch the ball this round.
Nash took advantage of the screen to find Laga Bell, but Bell failed to seize the opportunity in the corner where he was most familiar, and the three-pointer bounced out of the frame.
The Bulls' transition rhythm is very fast, and their mobility is no worse than that of the Suns.
Hinrich made a long pass to Luer Deng, but Luer Deng didn't catch the ball well. He staggered a step before he stabilized the ball. He paused briefly and then passed it to the Arab League who was cutting to the basket at high speed.
Arab League stepped into the penalty area in two steps!
Ah Lian wanted to dunk, but Diaw followed closely. Ah Lian couldn't fully jump up in the last step, and finally scored his first two points in the game with a right-hand hit.
This kind of ball is dunked in the CBA. UAE's talent is at the top level in Asia, but in the NBA it can only be considered average or above average.
As soon as Ah Lian landed, Diaw held the ball and sent it out from the baseline.
The rhythm between the two sides is getting a bit exciting!
When Nash advanced to the left three-point line, he suddenly made a cross pass. From the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Yan coming in at high speed.
Chen Yan took one step outside the three-point line to catch the ball, took one step and then made a floating ball with his left hand.
At this moment, Chen Yan's shooting rhythm has come out.
Westbrook pounced quickly.
Only when he was in the air did he realize that he had been fooled again...
Chen Yan changed his direction and passed him.
Another "worship to Buddha"!
Chen Yan used the same move to deceive Westbrook twice. The most heartbreaking thing was that after passing Westbrook, he looked back.
Chen Yan accelerated into the penalty area, adjusted his pace, and jumped up with all his strength. Xinrich on the side got out of the way, allowing him to defend Chen Yan who was already charging. It was like hitting a stone with an egg.
"Bang!"
Chen Yan pulled the ball behind his head with both hands, and then violently dunked the ball into the basket. While hanging the basket, Chen Yan threw his legs up and kicked the ball that fell from the basket into the second-floor stands in a cool way!
As soon as the game started, rookie Westbrook was beaten to pieces by Chen Yan.
For Chen Yan, Westbrook is atm. Since the Bulls are not double-teaming and are not prepared to substitute defensive players for the time being, he will continue to draw money from Westbrook.
No one doesn't like beautiful statistics. For shooting guards, scoring is the best reflection of personal value.
