On January 2, the Suns ushered in the first game of the new year, and their opponent was the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers' record before the game was 8 wins and 23 losses. Just by looking at this record, fans already knew what kind of game this was.
However, the attendance at the Suns' home court is still full. There are two suspenses in this game. One is whether the Suns can win 20 consecutive victories, and the other is whether Chen Yan can score 50 points again.
The Clippers' top scorer is Randolph. Randolph was transferred from the Knicks shortly after the game started. This is a win-win deal for both parties. The Knicks got rid of the so-called Randolph.
With a big junk contract, the Clippers made up for the huge internal vacuum caused by Brand's sudden defection.
This guy Randolph is an out-and-out data brusher. He can get beautiful statistics in 2010 wherever he goes, but he can't give the team much substantial help.
However, he will miss tonight due to injury, and Kaman, another Clippers insider, is also on the injured list. The absence of the two has made the already poor Clippers insider even worse.
Kaman's truce caused a lot of discussion among fans. Many fans ridiculed that Kaman was injured intentionally. The media reported that Kaman was still alive and kicking a few days ago, so why did he suddenly get injured?
There is only one answer. He was hiding from Chen Yan. During the Olympics, he was psychologically shadowed by Chen Yan's death button.
Kaman was speechless after seeing the report, and complained to his teammates that these fans and media are so capable of reasoning, why don't they just become Sherlock Holmes?
Baron Davis comforted: "Now the media likes to make up some things, and this is how they make a living."
Snakin agreed: "Don't be acquainted with them. Why don't you grab a reporter to clarify it before the game starts?"
"Forget it, forget it."
Kaman waved his hand. He was afraid that the more he clarified, the more he would get blackened. This big white man knew the media's irritability, so he might add fuel to the fire and write some outrageous news.
Chen Yan glanced at the Clippers' player data sheet before the game and was surprised to find that among the Clippers' players who can play tonight, the one with the highest scoring average per game is rookie Eric Gordon.
The "first-generation bearded" Baron Davis, who transferred from the Warriors in the summer, has declined rapidly. Last season, he averaged 21.8 points per game, but this season he has dropped to 14.9 points, and his shooting percentage has also dropped from 42.6%.
At 37%, it feels like a different player.
Baron Davis was lost in the big contract and the lavishness of Los Angeles. In addition, there were communication problems between him and head coach Mike Dunleavy. He was also troubled by a groin injury at the beginning of the season. It can be said that the buff was stacked up.
Full...
The game begins and the Suns attack first.
Chen Yan had a strong desire to attack at the beginning, and he continuously broke away from running back and tried to go around to the outside to catch the ball. Round-faced Den was also full of energy and kept following Chen Yan and entangled him.
Stoudemire moved to cover outside the three-point line. Nash first moved laterally. Seeing that Baron Davis was completely blocked, he stepped on the ground and accelerated from the right. Clippers insider Paul Davis was slow to cover.
Taking a step forward, Nash rode directly on horseback and shot an arrow.
"Clang!"
The game didn't feel hot at the start, and the first ball missed the ball.
Clippers power forward Snagin took off to collect the defensive rebound, but suddenly a hand appeared above him!
Chen Yan made a tap and hit a tip-in. He received an offensive rebound and an offensive rebound at the same time.
0 to 2.
When Gordon saw Chen Yan take off, he realized that he missed someone. His defense in this round felt a bit anticlimactic. He followed very hard in the front and completely let go of Chen Yan in the back. This was also a sign of the rookie's inexperience. He saw Nash take action.
I thought this round was over.
"Beautiful! It's a very light tip-in, but I think Chen Yan should dunk this ball. If he dunks, it would be beautiful." Zhang Liyi shouted.
Director Xu said: "The jumping height is enough, maybe it's just the beginning and there's no movement yet."
When the Clippers attack, the Suns put all their defensive focus on the outside. The Clippers' two inside players, Paul Davis and Snagin, have little ability to attack independently, so it's okay to let them go completely.
The bearded Baron Davis came to the frontcourt and dribbled in a rhythm before taking a strong step towards Nash. He attracted the attention of the defense and immediately distributed the ball. Thornton received the ball and feinted, then forcibly stepped into the paint and succeeded in the throw.
.
2 to 2.
Al Thornton was the No. 14 pick in 2007. He has a height of 203 centimeters and a weight of 100 kilograms. He can be called a top small forward. The most terrifying thing is his athletic ability. According to the rookie physical test data, he
His maximum vertical jump height can reach 104 centimeters, his 3/4 sprint speed is 3.16 seconds, his jumping is the first among rookies that year, and his speed is comparable to that of the No. 1 player.
When he was a student, he received a two-way scholarship from an American university, one from the basketball team and the other from the track and field team. Until he entered the NBA, Thornton had been hesitant about giving up track and field. Thornton
His physical talent even saved his own life. After a training session, Thornton once encountered a car accident. At the moment of life and death, Thornton used his natural jumping ability to avoid a head-on collision with the car. It was very exaggerated...
...
Al Thornton's talent is top-notch, but he has two fatal weaknesses.
First, he is an older rookie. He was already 24 years old when he entered the NBA and his potential is limited.
Second, he suffers from recurring knee injuries. You must know that a player like him who relies on talent to play is basically useless if his knee is broken.
When the Suns attacked, Nash dribbled to the frontcourt, observed the situation and passed the ball to Diaw in the weak side corner.
Chen Yan came out from the bottom corner, and Gordon followed closely. He tried his best to prevent Chen Yan from catching the ball at the beginning.
Chen Yan pretended to be hand-to-hand with Diaw, then braked suddenly and turned back inside. Diaw sent the ball lightly to find Chen Yan. The two cooperated very well and directly deceived the round-faced player.
After Chen Yan caught the ball, he immediately went inside. Two Clippers insiders, Snagin and Paul Davis, stepped up at the same time. Chen Yan took a confused step, taking the first step toward the baseline, and the second step toward the outside.
, after completely attracting the two of them, he sent the ball into the gap and found Stoudemire accurately and skillfully.
Stoudemire scored two points with a one-handed dunk under the basket. The cake in his mouth was very comfortable to eat.
2 to 4, Chen Yan sent the first assist of the game.
"This ball was handled very reasonably. Chen Yan saw the two men coming up and immediately distributed the ball."
"Not only is the offense reasonable, this ball also requires very high technical requirements on the passer. Passing the ball through the gap between the two people also tests the skill."
Zhang Lili and Director Xu sang in harmony like a husband and wife double act.
The Clippers attacked, and after a pick-and-roll, Baron Davis passed the ball to Snakin. The pass was wonderful, which showed Baron Davis's skills, but Snakin didn't grasp it.
After the layup, a layup missed due to interference from Stoudemire.
After Stoudemire turned around and grabbed the rebound, he couldn't get the ball out immediately. Nash stepped forward to respond. After advancing past half court, he immediately changed positions when he saw that there was no chance for a fast break.
Chen Yan quickly ran to the bottom corner and pretended to help his teammates open up the offensive space. After everyone was in position, Chen Yan immediately ran towards the top line. Eric Gordon reacted very quickly and immediately speeded up to keep up with Chen Yan.
"Bang!"
Gordon bumped into Stoudemire's chest after just two steps. Chen Yan's movement was not random. He caught Stoudemire's movement with his peripheral vision.
Nash had a wide field of vision and immediately passed the ball when he saw Chen Yan had an opportunity. After receiving the ball, Chen Yan took a step forward and shot just outside the three-point line.
Gordon was blocked, and Paul Davis couldn't guard him. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell into the basket like a meteor.
Perfectly hollow, barely touching the net!
2 to 7.
Chen Yan scored the first 5 points!
The Clippers attacked, and Baron Davis chose to do it himself this round. He asked for a screen and then shot a high jump shot, but the bearded man's touch was obviously not on line, and the ball hit the side of the basket and popped out.
Snakin was blocked by Dioca, and Paul Davis won the rebound battle with Stoudemire. His 211cm height advantage was reflected. After getting the rebound, Paul Davis hit the board with his second attack.
4 to 7.
The Suns attacked, and after Nash dribbled the ball past half court, Chen Yan played the same routine as the previous round. Gordon took a step behind the screen, and Chen Yan quickly took a shot from outside the three-point line after receiving the ball.
"Whoosh!"
The moment the Nets bloomed, America West Arena burst into cheers!
"Good shot! Two three-pointers in a row. Chen Yan felt very good today and found the offensive feeling at the beginning!" Zhang Lili shouted.
Director Xu smiled and said: "Chen Yan has scored 8 points in a row, and he played all without the ball. This style of play is conducive to saving physical energy. It seems that he will go for 50 points again today."
In fact, Chen Yan does not deliberately play without the ball. His current physical fitness is enough to score 50 points even if he plays with the ball in the whole game. He just chooses his playing style based on the situation on the court, and how to do it as efficiently as possible.
The Clippers were attacking, and bearded Baron Davis was eager for success. He used his body to eat Nash and then rushed inside and was called for a dribbling hit.
Exchange of ball rights, Suns attack.
Nash looked for Chen Yan after halftime, and Chen Yan started his first singles game with the ball.
Chen Yan continued to crotch his legs, and stared at Chen Yan's feet with his round face, always ready to prevent him from accelerating his breakthrough.
Chen Yan has a strong sense of pressure when holding the ball, and his round face is a little nervous, which makes his body a bit stiff from the broadcast camera. Chen Yan uses rhythm dribbling to easily mobilize his center of gravity.
"Bang!"
Chen Yan suddenly made a strong movement on his crotch, and the ball holder switched from his left hand to his right hand. The round-faced player was thrown half of his body away. Just as he turned around and was about to forcefully follow up, Chen Yan suddenly pulled back sharply, and at the same time his defender
The golfer also didn't forget to give his round face a push.
The round-faced man lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground. The referee did not know how to call such a ball. Chen Yan retreated to the three-point line amid the cheers of the fans.
Take the open shot when no one is marking you!
Before the ball even fell into the bag, Chen Yan turned around and returned to defense in advance. There was no celebration, and a faint smell of showmanship filled the air of America West Arena.
"Whoosh!"
Another absolutely hollow shot!
Chen Yan smiled at the camera, Chen Yan is online!
4 to 13.
The Clippers continued to play the pick-and-roll, and Baron Davis passed the ball to Paul Davis. The latter did not dare to take action. After hesitating, the Suns' defense was in place. Paul Davis could only hold the basketball high and wait for his teammates.
Respond.
Thornton went around without the ball, got the ball hand-in-hand and strode straight in.
It can be seen that he is very confident in his athletic talent, but Stoudemire is also an athletic beast. He and Thornton took off at the same time and slapped the ball out of his hand!
Chen Yan did not pick up the ball. He very smartly chose to run the fast break without the ball. Diaw immediately threw a long pass after picking up the ball. The advance of the ball was very comfortable because of Chen Yan's presence. Diaw is now
He has become the best big man in the league at passing such long balls.
After Chen Yan caught the ball, he took advantage of the situation. The round-faced Den could not keep up with Chen Yan's speed. In desperation, he resorted to a foul tactic from behind. Gordon was not wrong in committing the foul, but his fault was that he did not commit it cleanly and only caught Chen Yan.
Arm, Chen Yan threw the ball at the moment the whistle sounded.
"Beep!"
"Whoosh!"
The referee indicated that the actions were consistent, the two points were valid and an additional penalty was incurred.
4 to 15.
Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy quickly replaced Gordon. He felt that if the inexperienced rookie was allowed to guard Chen Yan, Chen Yan would score 100 points tonight.
