Chapter 436 Disgusting schedule, public enemy of the whole people
After a day off, the Suns will start another disgusting road trip. In the next four days, the Suns will face three opponents, namely the Hornets, Mavericks and Jazz.
The reason why it is disgusting is not only because of the intensive schedule, but also because these three opponents are very strong, and the weakest Jazz can still be ranked seventh in the Western Conference with many strong opponents.
The league's schedule this season is very unfriendly to the Suns. The competition at the beginning of the season is too intense and there are too many back-to-back games. However, this is not a reason for the Suns to complain. They understand that defending the title is only a small part of the many difficulties.
After defeating the Heat, the Suns flew directly to New Orleans.
When we arrived at the airport, there were many people who looked like fans and were waiting hard holding signs.
Chen Yan was very touched when he saw it. He came to pick him up after such a late time. These fans really meant it.
But when I looked closer, I saw words like 'fuck-chen!', 'Chen, get out of New Orleans!', 'You are not welcome here' and other words written on the sign.
When Chen Yan appeared, these fans were even more fired up and poured out all the curse words they had learned throughout their lives on Chen Yan.
Finally, Chen Yan and the Suns players left the airport safely under the escort of police and security personnel.
Ever since Chen Yan knocked out Paul, his reputation in New Orleans has taken a turn for the worse. In the eyes of local fans, Chen Yan is a heinous villain who knocked down their kind and cute Mr. Pao with one punch.
In the eyes of fans, their own players are always the right side.
Chen Yan was speechless. He just wanted to play ball quietly. Why did he become the public enemy wherever he went?
Fortunately, the Hornets fans did not extend their ill will to the hotel where the Suns are staying, otherwise they would have no peace tonight.
No one went to nightclubs to have fun tonight under the sun. The travel and the pressure of the schedule made the players lose interest.
After entering the room, Chen Yan lay on the big bed and opened the personal attributes panel. Chen Yan hadn't opened this thing for more than two months.

After experiencing the baptism of international competitions and NBA events during this period, some of Chen Yan's attributes have increased slightly. Attributes can be improved through competition and training. Chen Yan has long known this, but the higher the attribute points, the better
It is difficult to improve through training and competition. At Chen Yan's stage, if he wants to continue to achieve success, he should be more realistic.
Compared with a year ago, Chen Yan's purpose of adding points has fundamentally changed. He is no longer adding points to make up for his shortcomings, because Chen Yan now has no shortcomings, not to mention offense, rebounds, and blocks on the outside.
He is also outstanding among players. Even at defense, which he is least good at, he is now above average in the NBA.
This is because he puts most of his energy on the offensive end. Chen Yan believes that if he abandons distracting thoughts and focuses on defense, he will not be worse than those so-called defensive engineers.
But this does not mean that Chen Yan can lie down. As long as his attributes have not reached the peak value, he cannot stop improving.
In the first month of the new season, Chen Yan accumulated 104 honor points, plus the remaining 65 honor points from the Olympic period, for a total of 169 honor points.
After looking at the attributes on the panel, Chen Yan decided to further improve his shooting ability. The shooting percentage is the basic goal of a scorer. Chen Yan's three-point ability is now 99, so he set his sights on [mid-range shooting].
The three-point shot is more efficient than the mid-range shot, but in the tense playoffs, the mid-range shot is often more effective in killing the game, so it is impossible for Chen Yan to lose this skill.
After consuming 40 honor points, Chen Yan increased the mid-range shooting from [93] to [95].
Then Chen Yan spent another 40 honor points to exchange for 4 attribute points in the [85]-[90] range, and added them all to free throws.
The free throw attribute was suddenly increased to [90].
Many people think that if a mid-range shot is accurate, a free throw must be accurate. In fact, this is not necessarily the case. There is a sense of rhythm when jumping. Many players are used to dribbling and stopping for jump shots or catching the ball and shooting with the flow. Free throws are static and do not have a strong rhythm.
, there is an essential difference between the two.
Both McGrady and Duncan's mid-range shooting is okay, but their free throws are a mess. Jordan's mid-range shooting is the first in NBA history. He maintains a terrifying shooting rate of more than 50% in a large number of shots all year round, but his free throw shooting is only 80%.
% come forward.
Then Chen Yan took out 20 more honor points to raise the [Breakthrough] attribute points to 93 points. This round of point additions is considered completed. The remaining 69 honor points are reserved for injury prevention. With such a dense schedule recently, injuries can occur at any time.
The possibility...
On the second day, all members of the Suns went to the arena to simply adapt and prepare for the evening game.
Everyone knows that this is definitely a tough battle, tougher than Chen Yan's fist. Everyone from the players to the fans of the Hornets came here with anger. The last time Chen Yan only received a three-game suspension after the conflict.
The people of New Orleans were very dissatisfied.
"Chen, the New Orleans people will definitely come for you tonight, so be careful to control your emotions." After getting used to the venue, Nash specifically found Chen Yan.
Chen Yan smiled: "Steve, why are you using such a tone? I'm here to play, not to fight."
"But in the last game against the Hornets, you knocked out Chris Paul, and he just fell straight in front of me," Nash said.
"That was just an accident."
As soon as Chen Yan finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from behind: "ahhhhhh! Chen, do you call that uppercut an accident?"
Nash and Chen Yan looked back and saw Stoudemire appearing behind them.
"Hey! Amare, please remind me when you talk next time, don't be so mysterious!" Chen Yan patted Xiaosi's butt.
Xiaosi continued to laugh and said: "Sorry, I'm just curious about what you are talking about."
Nash looked at Stoudemire: "Amare, you and Chen go talk."
Xiaosi nodded after hearing this: "Chen, don't worry, if that brat Paul dares to do anything dirty this time, I'll be the first to help you fuck him!"
Nash was speechless. He asked Xiaosi to persuade Chen Yan to calm down tonight, not to help him fight together.
Before Nash could speak, Chen Yan spoke first: "There is an old saying in China, I will not offend others unless they offend me. If the Hornets play basketball honestly, I will definitely not cause trouble."
"What if they take the initiative to trouble you?" Stoudemire asked.
Chen Yan was silent for two seconds: "Then I can only beat them up on the court. I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake again."
Chen Yan knows very well that if violence on the field happens to him again, it will not only cause huge harm to the team, but also have an irreversible impact on his own image. The league's patience is not endless, and no one will praise a three-pointer.
Stars who fight with each other every day.
In the evening, the visiting team's locker room.
Before the game started, D'Antoni also gave Chen Yan some advice, and his words were similar to Nash's.
Chen Yan was completely helpless. Was he already a boxer in the eyes of the whole team?
Chen Yan and Paul didn't speak when they appeared on the court at the same time, acting like enemies.
The scene was clearly captured by the camera. This was a deliberate arrangement by the radio station. Everyone knew how they would react when the two met again.
Seeing the reaction of the two people, the fans in front of the TV were happy.
"Chen and Chris didn't say hello at the beginning, let alone any communication. I could smell the gunpowder before the game even started," said Kenny Smith.
"Hahaha, it's good that they said hello and there was no fight. I understand this phenomenon. Just like when I was playing ball, I never said hello to Shaq. There is only one possibility for us to talk, and that is to be present.
It started spraying."
Kenny Smith nodded in agreement: "Yes, the opponent is the opponent, there is no need to be polite. Now some young players like to be friends and brothers with their opponents, and make everything fun, fxxk! This is still called a basketball game.
? Forgive me for swearing, I really can’t understand this kind of behavior.”
The players quickly came to the center of the field. The starting lineups of both sides were the same as the previous game, without any changes.
Stoudemire won the opening jump ball. When Chen Yan saw that it was his own offensive round, he immediately accelerated and ran inside. The Hornets players had not yet settled down, and this run disrupted their formation.
Chen Yan first inserted it into the bottom corner along the sideline, then returned to a 45-degree angle and then inserted it horizontally into the horn on the other side.
Russell Butler failed to keep up with Chen Yan, and Paul quickly made up for it. He did not dare to let Chen Yan go for more than a second.
Sure enough, Nash's ball was passed the next second. If Paul didn't cover up, it would be equivalent to giving Chen Yan an open shot.
Chen Yan held the ball in one hand and put it behind his back. He actually had no intention of attacking at the beginning, but now he is out of position.
Chen Yan waited for his teammates to open up space and then started to attack with the ball.
First, he pulls the ball to the left hand with one hip, and then returns the ball to the right hand with another hip.
After two large swings, Chen Yan bent down and broke through to the right.
Paul pressed his center of gravity and blocked Chen Yan's breakthrough route before he could start.
This defensive prediction goes without saying. Paul relied on accurate prediction to enter the best defensive second team last season. Chen Yan quickly cut to the back.
"Bang!"
Chen Yan hit Paul's chest hard, and Paul used all his strength to withstand Chen Yan's impact. Paul was using his actions to prove that although he suffered from his height, he was by no means a soft persimmon!
Chen Yan used the reaction force of the impact to quickly turn his back. Paul waited for the opportunity and was ready to complete the cut when Chen Yan turned around to face the frame. But what he didn't expect was that Chen Yan didn't intend to face the frame at all. Halfway through his turn, Chen Yan
Chen Yan suddenly retreated slightly and made a high jump shot from the top of the arc!
It was such a small step back that completely shattered Paul's hope of defending Chen Yan. The height difference was a flaw.
Paul tried his best to pounce, but the distance between the two had widened and did not interfere with Chen Yan.
Chen Yan kept his own rhythm and shot the ball.
The basketball spins at high speed and then hits the inner frame and enters the net.
"Whoa!"
2 to 0.
Almost as soon as the basket hit the net, the familiar chant rang out in the arena.
"Fakchan!"
"Fakchan!"
"Fakchan!"
Chen Yan was stunned. For a moment, he thought he was at Staples Arena.
Hornets fans shouted hard, and now they finally know why Los Angeles fans like the slogan "Fake Chen."
This slogan is like magic. Once you shout it, you can't stop!
