Chapter 495 The mental blow from the warm-up phase!
On April 18, the Suns held their last training session before the first round of the playoffs.
The entire team only performed simple shooting and basket-running exercises, and the training content was mainly about maintaining condition.
Interview by tv5 special correspondent.
Chen Yan first greeted the camera enthusiastically, then entered the topic and began to answer reporters' questions.
"The Suns entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, and your opponent in the first round is the Jazz, who are ranked eighth in the Western Conference. Does this ranking gap make you feel that you have a chance to win this round of playoffs?"
Chen Yan smiled: "I don't want to lie in front of the camera. The Suns will definitely win this round of playoffs. Our overall strength is superior. We have a better starting lineup, a deeper bench, and we also have home court advantage."
The reporter also laughed. He has interviewed many players, but the feeling of interviewing Chen Yan was the most special. No player in China would say that he is such a flamboyant player, and Chen Yan has a special charm, that is, he is flamboyant at the same time.
Not annoying.
Chen Yan is not just pretentious. He has the confidence to say this. During the regular season, the Suns swept the Jazz 4-0. In the playoffs, they only need to maintain the level of the regular season.
"Many fans believe that the pick-and-roll between Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer is the biggest threat to the Suns. What do you think?" the reporter continued to ask.
"I don't deny it, because this is their main offensive method. Many people say that Boozer and Deron are replicas of Marlon Stockton. They are indeed similar in terms of playing style, but the two pairs are very different.
Boozer doesn't have Malone's physical fitness, let alone his stability, and Deron is essentially a selfish player. He always wants to end the offense more than pass the ball, so sometimes he will become the Jazz's
Breakthrough, so I think this combination will pose a certain threat to the Suns, but it is limited. The core of the Jazz is not on the court. Their core is head coach Jerry Sloan. As long as the team follows Sloan's tactics, they can be in an orderly manner.
As long as he finds a point guard and power forward who meet his requirements, he can achieve the same results as he does now."
Chen Yan's words are very clear. He believes that Boozer and Deron are not stars in the true sense, but are just products of the system.
"So are you confident that you can score 40, 50 or more points on Boozer or Deron? The fans are very eager to see a performance like this from you."
Chen Yan smiled and said: "If they come to guard against me."
The reporter continued to ask: "Which player do you think the Jazz will let guard you in this series? Kirilenko? CJ Miles? Or Brewer?"
"It's all the same, I just need to play my own game well." Chen Yan replied confidently.
Once this video was broadcast, it triggered an upsurge among domestic fans. Fans were excited about Chen Yan's attitude. The Utah Jazz are definitely one of the teams that Chinese fans hate the most. The Rockets are the most promising team to break into the 2006-2007 season.
In the year after the playoffs, the Jazz defeated the Rockets in seven fierce games. From then on, this team with no domestic fan base was even less popular among fans.
As for Chen Yan, he doesn't have any hatred towards the Jazz. He simply wants to shout harsh words before the game and show off his momentum.
Chen Yan believes that Jazz players will be psychologically affected if they see his interview.
At night, Chen Yan turned on the system.
After the All-Star Game, the two of them accumulated a lot of honor points, and it was time to improve their attributes.
After some additional operations, Chen Yan's various statistics have been slightly improved.

On April 19th, America West Arena was packed with people and every seat was packed!
Chen Yan was very excited during the warm-up period. This was a long-lost playoff atmosphere!
In this atmosphere, Chen Yan started to warm up with three-pointers. First he hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc, and then he hit a three-pointer with one step outside the three-point line. However, two steps away, he hit the logo, and then he hit a three-pointer in the half court!
The fans became more and more excited and started cheering before the game even started.
The American West Arena is now the most popular and craziest arena in the entire league, and it is also the "Devil's Arena" that every team is afraid of. Unlike the Pepsi Center and Energy Solutions Arena, which have an altitude advantage, the reason why the Suns' home stadium is called
It's called the Devil's home stadium purely because of the madness of the fans.
Phoenix fans are already very supportive of the Suns. After the team won the first championship in team history last year, the enthusiasm of the fans was further stimulated. Sometimes the voices were so loud that they could not even hear the coach's voice arranging tactics, which resulted in
D'Antoni had to raise his voice, and several times his voice was hoarse after games.
In addition to the noise, almost all fans are wearing orange T-shirts with 'We are the champions' printed on them. These T-shirts are officially issued and placed on every fan's seat. Many teams do this, but not every team
The team's fans are so united that they are willing to wear uniform orange T-shirts.
"Whoa!"
"Yeah!!!!!!!"
As Chen Yan hit a three-pointer in the tunnel, the fans in the audience became excited.
Delong glanced at Chen Yan very disdainfully. Chen Yan's behavior seemed to be warming up but was actually showing off. Delong couldn't stand it.
"Doesn't this feel great?" Okur next to him swallowed. Before the game even started, Chen Yan mentally attacked some Jazz players.
Boozer pretended to be calm: "His touch is all used in training, and it won't be accurate in the game."
Boozer's words were more like self-consolation. He couldn't even convince himself.
