"With 51 points, Chen scored 50 again. 50 points is like a threshold. No player who has not scored 50 points can be called a super scorer in the true sense. However, Chen, scoring 50 points is like drinking water."
Just as easy," Buckley concluded.
"You'd be surprised how this guy's scoring went up. He only scored 11 points in the first half, but by the end of the game his scoring numbers had risen to 51! omg! Can this guy do magic?
"Kenny Smith boasted with a smile.
Chen Yan stole the show tonight, and he also became the focus of discussion by the commentators after the game.
Apart from Chen Yan, only two Suns players scored in double figures tonight, namely Stoudemire with 16 points and Azubuike with 13 points.
Kobe scored the second-highest 33 points in the game, but it was achieved with an almost crazy 32 shots. Kobe made 12 of 32 shots, including 3 of 8 three-pointers and 6 of 8 free throws.
Kobe's hand was not good tonight, but he had to take action because his teammates were not in the best condition, and someone always had to step forward to take advantage of the ball.
Chen Yan's shooting percentage tonight did not exceed 50%, but this was all a hindrance in the first half. After entering the second half, Chen Yan turned on the high-efficiency mode.
The Lakers held a press conference first, and the crowd pressure was very low. The Christmas Day game is the most watched game in the United States. It would be very shameless to lose to an old enemy in this kind of game.
Kobe said mercilessly: "I can't lose this way. We didn't lose to our opponents in this game, we defeated ourselves. The poor shooting rate made us farther and farther away from victory. Every time in this game
Everyone didn’t perform well, including myself.”
Kobe always clenched his back teeth when he spoke. It can be seen how angry and unwilling he was. Now Kobe still keeps the newspaper cutout of Chen Yan's championship in his wallet. He vowed not to take it away until the Lakers win the championship.
.
Kobe's words were tough, and Phil Jackson helped smooth things over: "We started the season very well, and as we entered December, we began to lose more games, but this does not mean that the players have slacked off. The season is long.
,Failure is a normal phenomenon, all we need to do is rest and adjust."
Fisher, who attended the press conference together, said helplessly: "Chen's performance was so good. He was like a different person in the second half. We just couldn't score, but Chen kept getting angry. This game was not the best."
The real Lakers, we will try our best to win next time we meet."
When the Lakers held a press conference, the Suns generals had just come out of the bathroom. Stoudemire and Nash first found a physical therapist. Their backs were not very comfortable. Chen Yan just tied a few pieces of ice on his knees and then sat down on his own.
He took his seat and patiently answered all questions from all reporters.
Some reporters left after asking questions and quickly filled in the questions they asked. Many of the questions were repeated, but Chen Yan always answered them calmly and seriously, without any impatience.
This is professionalism. Chen Yan has always had a good relationship with the media, which is very similar to his predecessor Dayao.
"Chen, after winning the Christmas Day game, the Suns have won 17 consecutive games. This is a brand new record in team history. Will you talk about the winning streak in the locker room?" the reporter asked.
"Is this a new team record? Wow, no one has told me this before. It feels great to break a record without knowing it. We will enjoy this moment, but it will not be a burden to us. The winning streak is not
Our focus. For us, the only purpose of the regular season is to improve the team, prepare for the playoffs, and gain home court advantage in the playoffs. Winning streaks are just a by-product. We will not use winning streaks as incentives.
."
The reporter then asked: The Suns this season look even stronger than last year. Now that you are experiencing a winning streak, the team's goal this season must be to defend the championship.
Chen Yan stared into the reporter's eyes and asked repeatedly: "Why not? Why not? People always have to keep improving. Even if we have no room for improvement, at least we can't regress compared to last season, right?"
Chen Yan's words were very risqué and made the reporters laugh.
"Chen, what makes you completely different in the first half and the second half?" the next reporter asked.
"During the halftime break, I reviewed my performance and found that many shots in the first half were short, so I deliberately increased my shooting intensity in the second half. I found that shooting from certain angles did not feel good. In the second half, I
I deliberately avoided those shooting spots and tried to adjust myself as much as possible. You know, I've never been the kind of player to sit back and wait for death."
"But some fans said that your outburst was because Taylor Swift came to watch the game."
This time it was Chen Yan's turn to be amused by the reporter: "Hahaha, it seems that I will let Taylor watch the game every night in the future, so that I can surpass Jordan in a few seasons."
"Chen, many people predict that you will be the favorite for MVP this year. What do you think about this?"
"I am very happy to be in the mvp discussion. This is the highest level of personal honor. However, the schedule is not over halfway, so it is too early to talk about this. I must focus on the game instead of thinking about the honors that I have not yet received."
"Do you think another Chinese player Yao has a chance to win the MVP?" the reporter asked.
"He is definitely an MVP-level player and the best big man currently in the league in my opinion. He is in a period of transformation recently, so all his statistics have declined, but he believes he can adapt to any style of play and tactics. He is very
clever."
As soon as Chen Yan finished speaking, the reporter immediately asked: "What about running and gunning? Can Yao also adapt to running and gunning?"
Chen Yan patted his forehead: "Oh! This is a good question. I think it won't be difficult for him, as long as he loses another 30 pounds."
"Hahaha!" The reporter was once again amused by Chen Yan.
After the interview, Azubuike rushed to Chen Yan and asked for Chen Yan's latest generation of boots [Yan 2]. Azubuike is a fan of Chen Yan's signature shoe series [Yan].
Chen Yan seemed to have known for a long time that Azubuike would come to ask for shoes. He smiled and took out a shoe box from the cabinet and handed it to him: "Kailana, this is your size."
Azubuike was surprised. He thought Chen Yan would give him shoes, but he didn't expect Chen Yan to be so thoughtful and prepare a pair of shoes in his size.
"Thank you, Chen, brother, I love you!" Azubuike said with a smile.
"Stop being so stupid, Kelana, I remember you haven't signed the sneaker contract yet." Chen Yan patted Azubuike.
Azubuike shook his head and said that no sneaker brand was looking for him.
Chen Yan went straight to the point: "If you want to sign with Li Ning, sign with my independent studio. We will supply you with unlimited competition shoes. When you sign the contract, I will let the team negotiate with you. The amount will definitely not be lower than the market price."
"
"Really...really?" Azubuike was a little excited.
"Of course, if you perform better, we can further cooperate. I mean, do you want to bring your own signature sneakers?"
Azu was speechless after hearing this. He never expected to have his own signature sneakers in his life.
For Chen Yan, signing Azubuike is not a difficult decision. Azubuike averaged 16.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game this season. He is a strong contender for the best sixth man, and he will stay with Chen Yan.
His exposure will be very high, and his commercial value will continue to grow in the future.
As for signature sneakers, it’s not Chen Yan’s fault. After all, even Shane Battier and Hayes can have signature sneakers, so why can’t Azubuike have one?
After leaving the arena, Chen Yan drove Swift home.
Winning the Christmas Day game put Chen Yan in a great mood. While driving, he and Swift talked about everything from basketball to music.
Swift is a love brain. She feels extremely happy at this moment. If she could, she would sit in Chen Yan's co-pilot and keep talking to him.
When Chen Yan wanted to go home quickly, he and Dayao made an appointment to play World of Warcraft tonight and download the dungeon together.
After returning home and parking the car, Chen Yan quickly went upstairs to turn on the computer. As soon as he connected the computer online, Chen Yan heard a "squeak" sound from the door opening behind him.
Chen Yan turned around and saw blood almost spurting out from his nose.
I don't know when Swift put on a set of red underwear and stockings.
Swift is a person of action, and she will definitely reward Chen Yan if she decides to reward him.
Looking at Swift's bright red body, Chen Yan felt the joy of Christmas for the first time.
"Xiao Yan, tonight's Christmas battle was awesome. I'm going to be in this state when I clear the dungeon later. I have to hold the monsters back!" Dayao's voice came from the other side of Mai.
"Dayao, I seem to have something to do tonight, so I won't come for now."
"What's up?"
"Emergency."
"Urgent matter?" Dayao glanced at the clock on the wall. What kind of emergency could it be in the middle of the night?
Looking at the computer screen again, Chen Yan's game avatar has turned gray.
"Hey, hey! Don't leave me alone to clear the dungeon!"
Dayao roared in despair, but Chen Yan was already offline and could not hear him.
In the room, Swift opened the door with her foot, then gently opened the curtains, and walked seductively in front of Chen Yan. It was time for the reward.
