The Jazz attacked, and after Deron and Boozer finished the pick-and-roll, they were distributed to Okur on the outside.
Okur shot a three-pointer, and Stoudemire jumped up to block the shot.
The ball was not blocked, but it successfully interfered with Okur's vision, and the basketball hit the front edge and popped out.
Okur's shooting speed is very slow, so he can only bully giants like Yao who can't defend from the outside. When encountering a highly mobile inside line like Stoudemire, it is difficult to get an open three-point shot.
Diaw turned around to protect the rebound and passed the ball as soon as he landed.
Nash advanced very quickly. After entering the inside line gracefully, he threw the ball out. Chen Yan, who followed up, caught the ball and took a step forward.
Kirilenko raised his long arms and took off to interfere, and Chen Yan directly faced his defensive three-pointer and hit it!
32 to 50.
From the replay footage, we can see that Kirilenko had defended the ball perfectly. The moment Chen Yan took action, he directly blocked Chen Yan's face.
But even so, there was still no way to stop Chen Yan from scoring.
“There’s really no way around this kind of ball!”
"The signature strong shot is to throw it against you. Whether you are defensive or not, you can score as long as your rhythm is up!"
"The scariest thing about Chen Yan is that he can ignore the defense as long as he gets into the state."
"Kirilenko really defended this ball well."
"Not to mention that the defense is in place, even if the defense is in the stomach, it can't prevent Chen Yan from scoring."
"Guard it to the stomach? Wouldn't that be deep throating?"
“It’s so disgusting upstairs.”
"Is this something I can see in a basketball forum?"
In a certain post, fans are discussing Chen Yan's performance on the court in real time.
After hitting the three-pointer, Chen Yan quietly slipped to the sideline and his shoelaces were untied.
After tying his shoelaces, Chen Yan returned to the court. Delong seemed not to notice that Chen Yan appeared behind him and continued to walk forward with the ball.
Chen Yan reacted very quickly. When should I wait for Lao Liu?
Accelerating, Chen Yan took the ball from behind Delong and completed the steal!
"Wtf!?" Delong looked confused. When did this person get behind him?
Looking at Chen Yan's back after the steal, Delong secretly cursed: md! Cunning Oriental!
Deron complained as he spread his hands that only Kirilenko was chasing Chen Yan on the Jazz side.
Chen Yan glanced at Kirilenko behind him with his peripheral vision. After entering the penalty area, Chen Yan deliberately slowed down. When Kirilenko caught up with him, Chen Yan suddenly ejected into the air.
"Boom!"
Forced dunking is the most deadly!
Deliberately slowing down and waiting for his opponent to get in position before dunking, this ball is the best expression of Chen Yan's confidence in his own abilities and physical fitness.
After landing, Chen Yan did not forget to glance at Kirilenko. He liked to see his opponent's frustrated look after being ravaged by him.
Kirilenko was stunned all of a sudden, and the fans joked that even AK47 would be dumb in front of Chen Yan.
The score difference had reached 20 points, and Jerry Sloan was forced to call a timeout.
During the timeout, Van Gundy and Mike Breen chatted about the play just now.
"Chen is like Kidd, the thief who steals basketballs from Deron without anyone noticing." Mike Breen laughed.
"Deron kept complaining that his teammates didn't remind him. His teammates had certain responsibilities, but he also had problems. As a point guard, he should observe the situation on the court instead of waiting for his teammates to remind him," Van Gundy said.
"And he didn't chase back immediately after losing the ball. This is a matter of attitude." Mike Breen added.
In the first round after the timeout, Jerry Sloan arranged a pick-and-roll tactic, but Deron did not execute it. Deron directly called a spread tactic to challenge Nash.
"Play pick-and-roll! Don't force it!"
Sloan commanded remotely from the sidelines, and Deron chose to block his signal.
In recent years, Deron has grown into the top star of the Jazz, which has gradually made Deron stand out, and he has begun to show his disobedient side.
What Sloan was thinking about was the long-term planning of Deron's career. He intended to limit Deron's shots and arrange for him to attack more rationally, with the purpose of allowing him to have a longer and healthier career. However, Deron felt that this was right.
With his own constraints, he wants unlimited firing rights like the stars of other teams.
The basketball drew a parabola and then hit the inside frame. Although it went in, there was no satisfaction on Jerry Sloan's face. Deron did not play according to his plan. This was a sign of challenging the coach's authority.
The conflict between master and disciple has become obvious at this time.
Deron continued to play singles in the next few rounds. He wanted to solve the game on his own, but obviously Deron had not reached this level. The efficiency of continuous singles was average. The Suns played teamwork, Nash and Chen Yan
Assisting his teammates to score one after another, Stoudemire had another small explosion at the end of the second quarter. Chen Yan and Nash teamed up to feed him tonight.
The Jazz came back in the second half to adjust their lineup, and pure shooter Korver was replaced.
Korver made an immediate impact when he came on the court. After receiving passes from his teammates, he hit three-pointers from the bottom corner and a 45-degree angle on the left side.
Korver's outside shooting gave the Jazz little hope of chasing points. His three-point shooting percentage this season is close to 40%, making him the league's top shooter.
But the Suns quickly responded with a three-pointer. You are not the only one with a top shooter!
Nash used a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc and calmly shot!
Nash didn't take many shots tonight, but that doesn't mean opponents can ignore him. As a member of the league's well-known 180 club, Nash has a stable shooting percentage no matter where he is.
Chen Yan, Raja Bell and Novak, who came on the bench, also hit three-pointers one after another.
Raja Bell's three-point shooting percentage this season exceeds 40%, Nash's 43.1%, Chen Yan's astonishing 45.5%, and the most exaggerated one is Novak. So far, his three-point shooting percentage has reached an outrageous 50.1%.
More than 50%!
On the one hand, Novak's high shooting percentage is due to the strength of his teammates. Both internal and external teammates have a strong ability to attract double teams, which gives him many more open shots than last season. On the other hand, Novak has a problem with production.
Grams currently only takes about 2 three-pointers per game, and he basically only takes them when he has an absolute chance.
The Jazz were directly stunned by the sun. They have a top shooter on their own side, but there are a group of people on the other side of the sun. How to play?
The point difference widened further in the third quarter. In the final quarter, the Suns became lax on the defensive end, allowing the Jazz to chase some points, but this had no impact on the outcome of the game.
In the end, the Phoenix Suns won the game without any blood at home, 113-91.
Chen Yan played 34 minutes in the game, making 10 of 15 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 30 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals.
Nash scored 9 points and 16 assists in this game. Lao Na and Chen Yan jointly sent out 24 assists tonight. The biggest beneficiary is definitely Stoudemire.
Stoudemire scored a game-high 43 points under the combined efforts of the two. Stoudemire himself felt very happy. When interviewed by reporters in the locker room after the game, he said excitedly: "Tonight I just kept scoring, and scoring again." , I have to especially thank my teammates Steve and Chen for this. As soon as I have a chance, they can always put the ball in my hands as soon as possible. Sometimes I even wonder if the basketball is equipped with automatic tracking. Device, I like this feeling. I just told these two guys that if they can pass the ball like this to me every night, I will probably win the MVP!"
The surrounding teammates all laughed after listening to Stoudemire's interview, and everyone enjoyed the feeling of winning.
After the game, the media did not report much about this game, and there were not many news about Chen Yan.
A data like 3055 could be admired if it were changed to different points, but when it comes to Chen Yan, everyone would think it is very ordinary, as if it should happen for granted.
