"It's a beautiful half-turn and step back. Chen scored a goal at the beginning, and he scored it over Chris Paul." Kenny Smith said.
"I don't know if Paul will respond." Barkley said as if he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Fans also want to see Paul respond with goals. The game between stars must be exciting.
Paul did not disappoint the fans. After passing the half court, he gestured for his teammates to pull away.
Chen Yan's misplaced singles at the beginning seemed to Paul to be a provocation to himself, shouting!
Paul quickly thrust his hips back to the right. Nash followed Paul and suddenly changed direction to the left. The speed was very fast!
Defense has always been Nash's shortcoming. His main problem is slow lateral movement. As he gets older, his disadvantage will become more and more obvious, so Nash is smart to choose to take half a step every time he defends to prevent penetration.
It was the same this time, Nash never stayed close to his body.
You can do whatever you want, and I will keep a certain safe distance and be ready to interfere with your shooting at any time.
This is the best defensive strategy Nash can use against Paul.
Nash's strategy made Paul feel uncomfortable. He always felt that he could shoot from this distance, but it was not the best opportunity.
After changing direction, Paul took another strong step and then shot a high jumper.
Nash immediately flew to block the hole of the gun. He was waiting for Paul to take action like this.
Nash jumped hard, but it didn't cover Paul but seriously affected his shot.
"Clang!"
The basketball bounced out of the frame, Stoudemire protected the rebound, and as soon as it landed, he passed the ball to Grant Hill with a short pass.
Old Hill took two steps along the sideline and found Nash. The Suns' overall advancement was very fast.
At this time, Chen Yan was gradually speeding up, diagonally heading towards the middle from the sideline on the other side.
One step inside the three-point line, Nash sent a penetrating pass. The basketball hit the ground and bounced into the hands of Chen Yan, who was running in at high speed.
Russell Butler wanted to steal the ball, but was a little short. In the end, not only did he not steal the ball, he also lost his defensive position.
Paul was paying attention to Chen Yan's movement throughout the entire process, and the moment Chen Yan started catching the ball, he appeared behind him with his little hands.
Stealing is Paul's specialty. He was the steal leader last season. Paul's advantages are good awareness and quick start.
However, he miscalculated this time. Chen Yan had a very strong awareness of protecting the ball. He lifted it up the moment he caught the ball. Paul accurately cut Chen Yan's forearm.
"Crack!"
A sound clearer than the referee's whistle sounded.
"ah!!!"
Chen Yan lost his balance, shouted and threw the ball in the air with a strange gesture.
Chen Yan had no hope for this ball. He just wanted to make two free throws, but the basketball seemed to have its own ideas. After the ball hit the backboard, it bounced off the frame four times and fell into the bag. Chen Yan scored 21!
The camera showed a close-up of Chen Yan, and he himself laughed. Many fairy balls are like this, and the players themselves never expected to score.
The Hornets home fans collectively fell into silence.
The scene of Paul bursting with desire and violently beating Chen Yan did not appear, but only the scene of Chen Yan beating Paul violently.
Kenny Smith laughed: "Chen contributed a top-five shot in less than a minute after the opening, and Paul was the backdrop."
Barkley said: "Fouls must be committed harshly or not. Paul's soft foul just gave Chen a chance to hit a three-pointer."
Kenny Smith continued to laugh: "Paul is more of a chipping action."
"That was a failed chip shot, too," Barkley said.
Chen Yan's Juggling 21 was very exciting, but there was no replay on the big screen at the Hornets' home court. This was an act to boost other people's popularity.
"Whoosh!"
A steady penalty hit and the ball went into the net.
After his free throw ability reached 90, Chen Yan's shots became more stable.
Chen Yan scored 5 points in a row, which completely stimulated Paul's desire to win.
During the Hornets' offensive round, Paul handed the ball to David West after halftime and immediately ran and played hand-to-hand with him.
When David West gave the ball to Chen Yan, he blocked Chen Yan in front of him. Diaw switched defense and Paul made a jumper from the free throw line after shaking continuously.
Classic small versus big!
The happiest person to see Paul playing like this is D'Antoni. Paul and Nash are essentially the same type of players. When they are at full strength, it is definitely not a good thing for the team.
Sun attack round.
Chen Yan did not attack in this round. After receiving the ball, he quickly passed it across to Grant Hill on the flank.
Chen Yan only regarded this game as an ordinary regular season game. He and Paul had different mentality.
Hill feinted and then walked in. His explosive power was incomparable to that of his youth. Even Peja couldn't get rid of him after taking two steps.
Hill twisted and handed the ball to Nash at the top of the arc. Stoudemire stepped forward to help him with the pick-and-roll. Tyson Chandler switched defenses. Nash took a step to the right and gave the ball to Stoudemire in the high post, letting him go.
Hitting Paul's mismatch.
Stoudemire has an absolute advantage in height, but he didn't dare to use his best face-to-frame attack. Paul's center of gravity is low and his hands are quick. Stoudemire probably took the ball away from him before he even started.
After Stoudemire held the ball and observed it for a while, he started to hit Paul with his back from the high post. This was originally a confrontation with no suspense for the fans, but the result was shocking to the fans. Stoudemire tried hard to fight three times but couldn't get in!
In the end, Stoudemire could only force a high jump shot, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.
Paul's core strength and strength exceeded fans' imagination. Even Stoudemire underestimated Paul. Otherwise, the embarrassing scene just now wouldn't have happened. Paul was not as easy to bully as he thought.
When facing Paul, he either has to stand up and shoot, or he has to go deeper to get the ball and directly stand up to attack the basket and use his height to beat him. In addition, whether it is facing the frame and dribbling forward or pushing behind the back, the risk is quite high.
.
The Hornets counterattacked, and Paul wanted to grab a mid-range shot after halftime, but the Suns retreated faster. After stabilizing the rhythm, Paul called David West to play a pick-and-roll.
This time the Suns didn't switch defense. Paul caught Nash's gap in the screen and rushed to the basket, and succeeded in the throw!
5 to 4.
Paul played very hard in this game and had a strong desire to attack. After halftime, Paul had already scored 20 points.
Paul tried too hard in this game. In the first two quarters, he took too many shots and connected too little. He failed to unite the team, which caused the Hornets' offense to be disjointed. Besides Paul, the second highest score was David West's 8 points.
, the Hornets also trailed by 15 points 46 to 61 at halftime.
During the halftime break, Paul came to his senses under the beating of head coach Byron Scott. In the second half, he changed his style of play and began to favor organization.
However, the Hornets players touched the ball and shot less than usual in the first half, which caused them to find it difficult to find the touch. After a few minutes of play, the point difference rose instead of falling. Paul was forced to start the offensive mode again. In the fourth quarter, Peja
Feeling warmer, he and Paul worked together to chase the point difference to about 10 points, but it turned out that it was just a return to the past. In the next 2 and a half minutes, the Hornets fell into a scoring drought, and the point difference was widened to nearly 20 points.
Both Paul and Peja have serious shortcomings. Paul is too short and has limited explosive scoring ability. Peja has no ability to hold the ball and must be fed by someone.
At the end of the game, the Suns won 109-88.
Chris Paul scored a game-high 39 points, but the team lost by 20. I believe he was not happy either.
The Suns' winning streak continues, and the Lakers are also winning. Both teams have performed extremely abnormally this season. The Suns are firing on all cylinders, while the Lakers have a balanced offense and defense.
After more than a month of playing in the new season, the two teams have been classified by the media as the first t0 level.
After beating the Hornets, the Suns rushed to Dallas without stopping.
The Mavericks are currently ranked third in the Western Conference in the new season and are also the seed team.
In this game, King Nuo went berserk and the Suns played very hard. In the last 17 seconds of the game, the score was 99-99 and the Mavericks had the ball.
Kidd dealt the card at the top of the arc, and King Noah attracted a double-team and then decisively passed the ball to Artest.
After receiving the ball, Artest directly shot the ball regardless of the 37,21 or 3 points.
Prior to this, Artest had made 0 of 5 three-pointers. His inner thought before taking the shot was, I don't care, he's going to die. Once the ball is in my hands, I'm going to shoot it.
"Clang!"
The Suns entered the first overtime with Artest's slightly outrageous three-pointer.
During the overtime period, the two sides were still locked in a difficult game. In the last 27 seconds, Chen Yan used his speed advantage to get inside and passed the ball to the limit before being double-teamed.
Chen Yan's behavior was not a scapegoat. Nash, who was receiving the ball from the outside, actually had a big gap.
Nash also has a big heart. He doesn't make any adjustments after catching the ball and shoots a three-pointer directly.
"Whoosh!"
Nash seized the opportunity and made the go-ahead three-pointer, and Chen Yan provided the key assist.
The game has reached the most exciting part again. The Mavericks made the last shot and handed the ball to King Notre Dame who felt hot tonight.
The Suns resolutely adopted a double-teaming tactic, with Diaw and Nash working in tandem to prevent Nowitzki from turning around.
King Nord was forced to pass the ball to Kidd on the outside. Kidd has scored 5 points in this game so far. Wouldn't it cost him his life to let him take key shots at this time?
After receiving the ball, Kidd chose to pass the ball crosswise, and the ball fell into Artest's hands again.
Artest raised his hand from outside the three-point line and was very decisive.
At this time, all Mavericks fans have only one voice in their hearts: Don't vote!
"Clang!"
When the sound of the hammer sounded again, even the boss Cuban covered his head. The missed goal completely shattered the hope of winning. After Stoudemire got the rebound, the Mavericks sent him to the free throw line.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Two free throws were made, and the score difference came to 4 points. There were 7.9 seconds left before the end of the game, and there was no timeout.
Kidd quickly brought the ball across half court and passed it to Terry. The Jets' Terry barely made a three-pointer from far away, but missed.
Dampier grabbed the rebound and passed to Nowitzki. King Nowitzki hit a three-pointer but was unable to recover. When the ball was scored, the game time also ran out.
111 to 110, the Suns won a thrilling away victory.
King Nuotian performed better than anyone today, scoring 49 points, but he could not stop the joint efforts of the Suns Trident and Artest.
After the game, the entire Suns team flew directly to Utah. They only had one day to rest. Their next opponent was the Jazz, who had the advantage of sitting on a plateau.
The physical fitness of the Suns team was obviously affected by the back-to-back games. They struggled in the beginning and could not get into the rhythm of the game after the first quarter.
This was definitely the most tiring game for the Suns since the start of the season. The Jazz led for three quarters. It was not until the last two minutes of the last quarter that Chen Yan forced the lead with two three-pointers!
At the last moment, Chen Yan intercepted Delong's pass and made a steal!
The Suns won the game without any danger and continued their winning streak.
After the game, the Suns generals felt relieved. The disgusting road trip was finally over, and they would have two days of rest.
