Chen Yan ran towards the top of the arc, and Ariza pestered Chen Yan to prevent him from catching the ball.
"Zen Master" Phil Jackson was very satisfied with Ariza's performance on the defensive end tonight and increased his playing time.
Ariza is tall, has long arms, and has good burst and jumping. He is a player with both size and speed on the defensive end. He is more suitable for guarding Chen Yan than James Posey.
Chen Yan nudged Ariza and then ran back. Nash reversed and sent the ball to Chen Yan.
The two of them cooperated well in running and passing, and the opportunity came out in an instant.
After receiving the ball, Chen Yan took half a step back with his right foot. The moment Ariza pounced, Chen Yan took an outside shot.
The basketball hit the inside frame!
47 flat!
"for-three~~~~~" the live DJ used exaggerated sounds to arouse the fans' emotions.
"Chen is back in form, using his movement to get rid of defenders and score a three-pointer!" Kenny Smith explained.
"Ali's defense is still not strong enough, so Kobe has to come." Barkley said with a bad smile. Not only him, but all the fans also wanted to see Chen Yan and Kobe play against each other.
In the process of returning to defense, Ariza complained to the referee a few times. He felt that Chen Yan's push before taking action was suspected of fouling, and the referee ignored him.
This is Phoenix, the territory of the Sun, and the scale will naturally be favorable to them.
Laga Bell also started to guard Kobe from the time he passed halftime, constantly interfering and preventing him from catching the ball easily. Kobe relied on Camby's off-ball screen to get rid of Fisher's pass.
The Suns did not change defense. Laga Bell bypassed the screen and chased Kobe. The others retreated inside to prevent Kobe from hitting the basket. Kobe read the situation on the court in one second, took a sideways move, picked up and threw, and also hit a three-pointer.
point!
50 to 47.
Kobe played the old-school basketball of this era, an era where if you stab me, I will stab you back.
When a super scorer is facing off, if you hit me one, I will definitely let everyone pull away and hit you back. It is so direct and so tough. That is why the NBA in this era is so exciting, and every star also exudes it.
With radiant light.
On the way back to the defensive half, Kobe gestured to Ariza to switch defenses with him.
The boss spoke, and Ariza immediately executed it, switching defensive positions with Kobe.
Nash wanted to continue looking for Chen Yan after halftime.
Chen Yan is in good condition, so giving him the ball in isolation is the best tactic. Nash knows this very well.
Kobe also knew that it was difficult to defend Chen Yan once he got the ball, so he focused his defense on preventing Chen Yan from catching the ball.
Chen Yan was very uncomfortable being entangled by Kobe in this round. Chen Yan's attempt to use the big man's screen to run out of space was also seen through by Kobe. When Kobe focused on the defensive end, the sense of oppression he brought to his opponent can only be described as terrifying.
.
This sense of oppression was not only mental, but also felt on the jersey. Chen Yan's jersey was pulled repeatedly by Kobe. If he hadn't been wearing a vest underneath, it would have been gone.
Of course, Chen Yan is not an honest person, and his iron elbow keeps greeting Kobe's chest. The two competitive men are so intertwined on the court, lingering...
Soon, the fans' focus shifted from the ball carrier to Chen Yan and Kobe.
When two people are wrestling on a basketball court, it is difficult not to attract the attention of the audience.
"Beep beep!"
The referee finally blew the whistle and awarded a foul on both sides. He was worried that if he continued to act blind like this, he would have to open a separate WWE venue for Kobe and Chen Yan.
The Suns serve again in the frontcourt, and the attack time of the round is reset to 14 seconds. When both parties commit a foul and the ball is in the hands of one side, if the ball is in the second half of the team in control, the timer will be reset to 24 seconds. If the ball is in the first half of the team in control,
The field will be reset to 14 seconds. If the round attack time is greater than 14 seconds when the game is interrupted, the game will continue according to the remaining time.
Chen Yan ran to the sideline to serve, and when he sent the ball to Stoudemire's hand, Chen Yan quickly ran towards him. The two of them exchanged hands, and Stoudemire handed the ball to Chen Yan.
Kobe quickly caught up, and Chen Yan grabbed the ball with one hand and put it behind him.
"Chen Yan is not in a hurry to dribble, he is observing, and Kobe is also observing. The master's duel is like this. It is about internal strength. No one will make moves easily. As long as they don't take action, there will be no flaws. Wait until they take action.
The time must be when you can defeat the enemy with one move." Zhang Lili started talking nonsense seriously.
Coach Xu next to him smiled and said nothing. He knew that Zhang Lili was talking nonsense. The reason why Chen Yan didn't move was because he was waiting for his teammates to help him open up space.
Nash and Raja Bell ran to the bottom corners on both sides, Diaw and Stoudemire were on the edge of the paint area, and Chen Yan saw the space on the court and started to attack with the ball.
Chen Yan crosses his crotch continuously, which is full of rhythm!
Kobe kept reaching out, pretending to use a gambling steal to spy on Chen Yan's next move!
Chen Yan was not fooled, he protected the ball while keeping his own rhythm.
With 7 seconds left in the attack time of the round, Chen Yan suddenly increased his shaking strength and handed the ball from his right hand to his left hand with a large movement. Kobe's center of gravity shifted and he quickly shook his shoulders, and his left hand holding the ball moved to the right.
The road changes direction!
"Crossover! The amplitude is huge!" Barkley shouted excitedly. Crossover is also one of Chen Yan's signature moves. He has reduced the number of times he uses this move in the new season, but it does not mean that he has lost this skill.
After Chen Yan swayed, he took a step to the right, stepped on the three-point line and pulled up!
Chen Yan didn't deliberately shoot for a three-pointer. After finding the most comfortable rhythm, he took the shot directly.
Kobe Bryant had already studied Chen Yan's crossover, and he kicked off his right foot and rushed forward!
The basketball flew out of Kobe's fingertips!
Very extreme!
"Whoa!"
Perfect rhythm, perfect shot, perfect arc, perfect entry into the net!
50 to 49.
"Chen started to find the feeling and hit three goals in a row."
"This is a super scorer. Don't let him get his touch back, otherwise he will definitely punish you in his own way."
Kenny Smith and Barkley boasted in the commentary box.
"I've seen through you, and I know what you're going to do next!" Kobe said very unconvinced.
"Then why didn't you guard me?" Chen Yan retorted not to be outdone.
Kobe gritted his teeth and walked toward the offensive half with a murderous look on his face. This was a sign that he was irritated.
When the Lakers attacked, Kobe was stuck in the corner and wanted the ball. Chen Yan predicted that the ball would come to him on his own, so he let Ariza go to double-team Kobe.
Chen Yan quickly came up from the wing, not wanting to give Kobe a chance to turn around.
Kobe will not be guarded so easily, he will encounter such a double attack in almost every game.
After quickly releasing the ball, Kobe turned his back in the other direction. Laga Bell and Chen Yan rushed towards Kobe at the same time, blocking his shot.
In order to avoid the two blocks on this shot, Kobe leaned back very much!
Kobe is such a player. Once he gets excited about shooting, he will keep doing it no matter how many defensive players he encounters.
The two pounced fiercely, knocking Kobe down the moment he took action.
Before losing his center of gravity, Kobe threw the ball away.
After falling to the ground, Kobe didn't get up immediately. He stretched out his long neck and watched the flight path of the ball.
"Bang!"
"Whoa!"
The ball hit the backboard and bounced hard into the net.
twenty one!
"Yes!" Kobe gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, releasing his emotions.
Chen Yan and Kobe were both angry.
Anger can sometimes make players lose their minds, but it is also the best catalyst that can help them get back to their best competitive state!
