Chapter 504: Going the opposite way, you can only rely on yourself
"Wow! It's another Buddha worship. Now Chen Yan has become synonymous with this action." Kenny Smith explained.
Barkley laughed and said: "I suggest changing his name to Chen Yan Guo Ren. He is the player I have ever seen who uses this trick most efficiently."
Kenny Smith nodded: "Chen Yan plays with his brain and completes changes at the moment the opponent changes, so his passing always looks easy and effortless."? Jazz offensive round.
Now the Suns don't dare to shrink their defense too far inside. Korver has a strong shooting ability. Although Deron's overall shooting rate from outside is not high, he also has the ability to hold the ball and shoot long distances.
After several guides from the outside, the Jazz passed the ball to Boozer inside.
Boozer took a cannon shot and missed.
Boozer's statistics tonight are very good, he currently has 18 points and 19 rebounds, but his touch is average, and his scoring mainly depends on cutting to the basket and second offense.
Chen Yan retreated to protect the rebound and handed it to Nash.
Nash was not in a hurry and raised his hand to signal his teammates to hold on.
The Suns entered a positional battle to attack, and Nash handed the ball to Chen Yan and asked him to attack.
Stoudemire moved to the outside to cover, and Chen Yan dropped the ball and walked to the right.
The Jazz continued to switch defenses, Boozer appeared in front of Chen Yan, and Kirilenko went around the screen.
This time Chen Yan chose to leave it to Stoudemire.
Stoudemire took the ball at the top of the key and did not take a shot. Just when he was about to drop the ball and rush inside, Kirilenko was in place to defend.
This is why the Jazz dared to double-team Chen Yan wantonly. Kirilenko was very flexible, his defensive coverage was large enough, and his height and long arms were not a mismatch even against the Suns' inside line.
The first collaboration failed, so Chen Yan immediately went around behind Stoudemire and made another hand-to-hand move.
The moment he caught the ball, Chen Yan raised his hand and aimed at the frame.
Kirilenko did not dare to pounce on him immediately because he was afraid of being fooled again.
After confirming that Chen Yan's feet were off the ground, he rushed forward.
Due to the late start, Kirilenko's interference with Chen Yan was very limited.
"Whoosh!"
Chen Yan made a cool three-pointer!
78 to 80.
Chen Yan held out three fingers to celebrate and returned to the defensive half.
This three-pointer is very important. The difference between the two sides is only 2 points.
Jazz offense.
Delong wanted to stand up and retaliate against Chen Yan.
Throwing an answer-ball at this time can not only stabilize the score, but also boost morale.
Deron called out a tactic, and everyone pulled away and watched quietly as the little fat man challenged Nash.
Little Fatty dribbled the ball with his right hand, suddenly changed direction in front of his body, used the impact to push Nash away, took one step inside the free throw line, and succeeded in a three-step throw!
78 to 82.
Deron scored the response goal, and the crowd cheered loudly.
Sloan stood on the sidelines with his arms akimbo. Originally, he was going to call a timeout, but now it seems that this is not necessary for the time being.
Xiaopang just ate Nash alone, but he had no intention of responding. This is one of the biggest differences between him and other stars.
It is rare to see Nash fighting balloons or deliberately responding to opponents. He always puts the team first and puts winning first.
Nash and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc and then rushed to the left. Chen Yan used Diaw's screen to run to the bottom corner without the ball, and then accelerated to the wing with a second step.
The two runs also attracted the attention of defenders, and Nash passed the ball to Stoudemire.
Stoudemire caught the ball and took a two-step high to hit the board and hit!
"Xiao Si~ It's finally here!" Even Zhang Lili in the studio couldn't help but sigh.
"This is a star. If he were a role player, Stoudemire would not dare to take the ball in his condition tonight, but Stoudemire still has the confidence to take action." Director Xu also nodded.
Looking back, Deron dribbled the ball across half court while making tactical gestures.
Korver stepped out, and Chen Yan stayed close. He knew that this kind of shooter would just catch and shoot, and if he was not allowed to catch the ball, it would be useless.
Korver was not discouraged and ran to the baseline instead. Chen Yan was blocked by Boozer, and Stoudemire switched defenses in time to follow him from the outside.
Korver had no chance, but Boozer was out of position.
Deron immediately sent the ball in, and Boozer was eager to score. Instead of shouldering Chen Yan away, he chose to catch the ball and turn around directly to attack the basket!
"Crack!"
Chen Yan saw the opportunity for him to turn around and cut the ball off with one palm!
Boozer shouted and raised his hands to the sky. The referee ignored him. The ball was cut very cleanly and there was no problem at all.
Although the Jazz's defense against Chen Yan was very rude in this game, Chen Yan did not make any extraordinary moves. Chen Yan essentially played cleanly and did not make many small moves. Except for occasionally using his head and elbows, there were no dirty moves. I felt that
Chen Yan's unclean style of play is entirely due to impressions, because he had two famous fights in the two years since he entered the NBA, but those two conflicts were all caused by Chen Yan's opponents, so he was passive.
After Chen Yan stole the ball, he strode forward and the Suns counterattacked!
During the fast break, Chen Yan watched six directions and distributed the ball to Nash who was crossing the ball.
Nash counterattacked with a three-point shot!
This is an absolutely open space that is unmarked!
"Whoosh!"
An arrow to the heart!
81 to 82!
Sloan frowned, feeling that this game is not that simple. A team like the Suns can only do it for a while, not forever. As long as they find a rhythm, they can hit the waves at any time.
In the Jazz's offensive round, they still pass the ball back and forth.
Boozer made an air cut after the pick-and-roll, but Stoudemire blocked him in front of him. Deron dribbled the ball back and forth from the top of the arc to observe the movement of his teammates.
Kirilenko came up to assist again. He is tall and long-armed and is very suitable to be the support point.
Kirilenko raised the ball with one hand and waited for Korver to come around.
Korver didn't dare to take a shot after receiving the ball. Chen Yan was half a step away from him. With his bounce and speed, which shooter would dare to take a shot in front of him?
Korver has no ability to attack independently. If he doesn't have a chance to shoot, he will immediately hand over to Deron.
After receiving the ball, Deron accelerated and wiped it in!
Deron stepped to the edge of the penalty area, saw Boozer cutting in and chose a small hook pass.
It's a pity that Deron got it wrong. Boozer accelerated into the penalty area not to score, but to grab offensive rebounds.
The sudden pass prevented Boozer from reacting. Boozer subconsciously stretched out his hand and failed to catch the ball.
Jazz mistake 1.
Fortunately, the Jazz team retreated in time and did not allow the Suns to counterattack immediately.
Chen Yan held the ball to the top of the arc. At this time, the five Jazz players were already in position. Just when everyone thought the Suns were about to fight, Chen Yan accelerated past Kirilenko and reached the inside!
This ball seemed like the Jazz's defense was in place, but in fact, everyone was not steady on the ball. The Jazz believed that Chen Yan could not attack the inside at this time, so Chen Yan wanted to do the opposite.
Sometimes on the court, it is not a competition of physical strength and skills, but also a game of brain power.
Boozer made up for it from the other side. After the two faced off, Chen Yan switched to his left hand and hit a layup!
83 to 82!
The entire Suns bench jumped up. This was the go-ahead goal!
When the camera turned, Chen Yan showed his hands to the referee again.
He felt that Boozer committed a defensive foul, but the referee still did not call it.
Chen Yan probably understood that if he wanted to win tonight, he would have to hit one by one on his own. The referee would not blow the whistle easily.
Seeing that the score was overtaken, Sloan called a timeout with a sullen face.
