"With 50 points in three quarters, Chen Yan has gone crazy!"
"Chen Yan has played three quarters!"
"What an iron man!"
"The score difference is so close, the fourth quarter is probably going to be full!"
"Can you break your own record of 70 points in a single playoff game?"
During the break, domestic fans had heated discussions.
Domestic fans are very concerned about Chen Yan's performance, which is normal, just like in previous years fans went to watch Rockets games because of Yao Yao.
As soon as the second half started, Chen Yan scored again.
Use the screen to run back and hit the ball steadily in the mid-range after catching the ball!
87 to 92, personal 52nd point in a single game.
The Mavericks were not as tight on Chen Yan as they were in the first half. Carlisle discovered that even if Chen Yan scored 50 Suns, he was still not ahead by much. He didn't care what data Chen Yan got, his goal was to win and lose another game.
The Mavericks are eliminated, and it doesn't matter whether they lose face or not before winning or losing.
Carlisle turned on the gambling mode. He let Chen Yan score alone and take the shot, turning other players on the Sunshine Court into spectators.
In the third quarter, the Mavericks used this routine to catch up with the score. Chen Yan kept taking shots and scoring, which made the Suns become dependent on him. The players' mentality was more or less problematic.
Looking back, Ray Allen showed off his power. First, he took the ball from his veteran coach and hit a mid-range shot from the bottom corner. Then he cut to the basket and forced a foul, making two free throws.
The score difference came to one point, and Carlisle's tactics paid off.
D'Antoni kept stroking his moustache on the sidelines. His expressions may be deceiving, but some small actions cannot. D'Antoni fell into anxiety. If he cannot win this home game, it will be extremely difficult to play in Dallas next game, and the series may be dragged into a series.
Tie-break.
But Mustache can only act in a hurry, and adapting on the spot has always been his weakness. At this time, he can only pin his hopes on the Suns players on the court.
Chen Yan ran around the baseline on the right side and suddenly made an emergency stop and ran towards the middle!
Stoudemire and Diaw had a tacit understanding to close the door, blocking Artest and White. This was the famous "elevator door" tactic of the Warriors in the previous life. The elevator door tactic was invented by Mark Jackson in the 2013-2014 season.
Yes, in this timeline it appeared 5 seasons earlier, and its inventor became Chen Yan.
The Suns have practiced this routine more than once in team training. The coaching staff led by D'Antoni believes that this tactic is very suitable for the Suns' shooters. Whether it is Chen Yan, Nash or other shooters, they can profit from this tactic and win open shots.
opportunity.
Nash immediately delivered the ball to Chen Yan when he had an opportunity. A small step behind the free throw line, Chen Yan turned around and shot with a silky smooth movement.
"Whoa!"
91 to 94.
Chen Yan's personal score rose to 54 points.
The Mavericks attacked. Terry took the screen but did not break in. Nowitzki made the transition. After receiving the ball at the top of the arc, Artest first feinted a shot and then dribbled with his left hand.
The first time he was unlucky, he almost lost the ball. Fortunately, Artest adjusted in time, regained control of the basketball, leaned on Grant Hill, and hit the ball from mid-range.
93 to 94.
Artest had no reaction after the goal. He was stunned by Chen Yan tonight. More than half of Chen Yan's 54 points were scored on his head.
In the Suns' attack, Chen Yan did not move this round. Movement requires more physical energy. Entering the final quarter, even if he has an iron body, he will not be as full as in the first three quarters.
Chen Yan held the ball at the top of the arc, and the Mavericks did not adopt a double-team strategy. Chen Yan would not let go of such a rare one-on-one opportunity.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
After a quick cross dribble, Chen Yan started to go to the right, and Artest actively followed up on defense.
Artest's psychological quality is surprisingly strong. Even though he has been beaten, there is still no discouragement in him.
Artest tried his best to challenge Chen Yan and squeeze his breakthrough space.
At a 45-degree angle to the right free throw line, Chen Yan suddenly dribbled behind his back and stepped back, creating a gap.
Then he levitated the ball with his left hand, with the palm of his right hand facing up.
One bow...heaven and earth.
This act of worshiping Buddha did not deceive Artest, and Artest used Chen Yan's time of worshiping Buddha to narrow the distance between the two of them again.
Chen Yan dropped the ball again and walked to the right. He took a step forward and then moved his left hand with his crotch while levitating the ball again.
Second obeisance... Gaotang.
Artest still wasn't fooled.
Chen Yan's attack in this round was too cumbersome and the score was very close. He wanted to pursue the success rate and completely shake his opponent away before taking action.
There was not much time left to attack. Chen Yan took a step with his left hand and suddenly pulled it up, facing Artest to complete a difficult shot.
"Whoa!"
High jump shot!
93 to 95.
Personal score 56.
Domestic netizens laughed when they saw this scene and tapped their keyboards one after another.
"It's so fancy, why don't we just pull it out and be done with it?"
"Hahaha, I did a lot of moves, but in the end I still made the shot against someone."
"Haha, the most speechless person is Artest. I thought I was on guard, but I wasn't."
"Chen Yan feels so hot and yet he is allowed to duel. Are the Mavericks helping him break the record?"
"Good brother Carlisle!"
The Mavericks attack, Kidd holds the ball at the top of the key, and Nowitzki covers in the high post.
After the pick-and-roll, the Suns immediately switched defenses. Nowitzki wanted to attack Nash alone and used his height to score. After two back-ups, he suddenly turned over in the high post!
The moment King Nuo Tian took action, Chen Yan pounced from the side to attack him.
The height of King Nuo's shot was not afraid of being blocked from the front, but not from the side. In order to avoid Chen Yan's block, he was forced to adjust his shooting posture, and the basketball hit the iron and popped out.
After Diaw got the rebound, he directly passed the ball and counterattacked.
Nash and Chen Yan were both outside the three-point line at the top of the arc. The Suns counterattacked too easily this round.
Nash held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt to assist Chen Yan for a layup.
93 to 97.
The Mavericks attacked, Kidd and Nowitzki continued to play pick-and-roll.
When the defense was switched, King Nuo still wanted to use his height to defeat Nash, but this time he was smarter and observed the patterns on both sides before taking action.
Sure enough, the moment he turned around, Xiaosi pounced on him.
Nowitzki decisively responded to Kidd, who missed an open three-pointer.
Chen Yan made a three-pointer in the counterattack.
Missed.
Looking back, the Mavericks also missed the ball in a tacit understanding.
The Suns adopted the simplest defensive tactics. They immediately switched defenses when encountering a screen, and then flanked when they were about to take action. There were not many defensive tactics to speak of.
The Mavericks seemed to be under a curse. They let Kidd or Ray Allen and King of North Carolina pick and roll repeatedly, and whoever had more space would take action. It was basically this offensive mode...
In four minutes, the Mavericks only scored a pitiful 3 points. In the words of the commentator, it was as if they suddenly couldn't play ball.
The Suns took this opportunity to launch a 13-3 offensive climax, and the Mavericks collapsed without warning.
