Chapter 69 What does it feel like to pretend to be coercive in front of a coercive king?
"This pass around the ball is so cool! Book today's top five shots in advance!"
"The difficulty of this shot is much higher than it looks. Generally, it is difficult for the knees to become explosive again after such a drastic change in footwork. Chen Yan not only got up but also dunked!"
"Chen Yan has two brushes!"
"Two brushes? Two machetes, right?"
"Compared with Wade's Lost Step, Chen Yan's step is bigger and looks more impactful!"
After watching Chen Yan's goal, the domestic fans in front of the TV seemed very excited!
Wade was naturally unhappy when his most famous trick was used alone.
However, Wade still has to try his best to maintain his grace. He and Pierce have different positions and different layouts.
When returning to the defensive half, Wade smiled from behind and patted Chen Yan's butt: "The steps are very beautiful."
Chen Yan also politely replied thank you.
The two didn't talk much, the game was still in progress.
O'Neal asked for the ball in the three-second zone, and "White Chocolate" Williams got the ball in place this time.
Stoudemire was a step too slow in his forward defense. When the ball was caught by the Shark, he had already given up resistance.
"Boom!!!"
Shark dunks, full of dominance!
The old Shark is also a Shark. Taking the ball in this position is basically giving O'Neal points.
Sun attack round.
Nash accelerated into the penalty area.
Unable to find a good opportunity to play the ball, Nash circled around and returned to the three-point line to reorganize the offense.
The Suns' offense fell into a positional battle in this round, and Nash handed the ball to Chen Yan to attack.
Chen Yan held the ball with one hand on the outside, and Stoudemire took the initiative to provide a high cover.
Using the screen, Chen Yan easily got rid of Ricky Davis and reached the three-point line in one step!
O'Neal didn't follow. Preventing pick-and-rolls was O'Neal's biggest weakness. The Jazz used this trick to shave O'Neal's head back then.
In the 2002 Western Conference Finals, Mike Bibby also used pick-and-rolls to train him. Bibby's scoring average in that series soared from 13.7 points to 22.7, which was inseparable from O'Brien's strong help.
At his peak, O'Brien was terrible at defending pick-and-rolls, and it's even worse now.
Seeing O'Neal shrinking to the basket, Chen Yan did not choose to attack the inside, but directly took a shot from the free throw line.
Although Aopang has passed his peak, there is no need for Chen Yan to forcefully create trouble for himself.
"Whoa!"
The crisp sound of entering the net sounded, and it was very comfortable to score two points easily.
On the Suns' next offensive possession, Stoudemire went to the free throw line and also shot O'Neal.
Now O'Neal is not only unable to defend the pick-and-roll, but also basically unable to defend normally. He is like a taxi in chess and can only move within the nine squares near the basket.
At 5 minutes and 14 seconds into the first quarter, Pat Riley took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to replace O'Neal.
It can be seen that Riley is very dissatisfied with O'Neal's performance.
Except for that dunk, O'Neal basically ran back and forth tonight.
Riley and O'Neal did not communicate at all when they came off the field, and it seemed that the conflict between the two had deepened.
Earlier, there was news that Riley complained about O'Neal's laziness, and O'Neal responded that Riley is a pervert who peeks into the locker room every day and forces players to practice crazy hard regardless of their health.
There was a conflict between the two during training. The two greeted each other's mother. If Haslem hadn't stepped forward to stop him, O'Neal's fist would have fallen on Riley's face.
The conflict between the two parties has basically reached an irreconcilable point, and it is no surprise that O'Neal will leave this season.
The Heat did not play very comfortably after O'Neal came off the court. The team's defensive mobility has improved a bit, but the offensive problems still cannot be improved.
The sun is blooming more, and the Heat are barely supported by Wade alone.
At 6 minutes and 39 seconds into the first quarter, Chen Yan was replaced with 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.
So far, Chen Yan's scoring is not high, but his efficiency is very high. He has made 3 out of 3 shots and has not missed a single shot!
This is the second game of Chen Yan's career. He still chooses to be steady and cautious in his shot selection.
Nash and Stoudemire remained on the court, suppressing the Heat.
D'Antoni did not let Chen Yan rest for too long and sent him back onto the court with 1 minute and 15 seconds left in the first quarter.
At this time, the score between the two sides was 29 to 21, with the Phoenix Suns leading by 8 points.
The five players on the Suns field are Barea, Chen Yan, Grant Hill, Barnes, and Diaw.
On the Heat's side, Wade is playing with a group of substitutes.
Wade basically played the first quarter of the game. Unlike this group of veterans on the team, Wade still has a strong desire to win, otherwise he would not have been injured and forced to come back at the end of the regular season last season.
Heat offensive possession.
Facing Barnes' defense at the top of the arc, Wade made continuous crotch moves and then suddenly started to attract double-teams and then passed the ball to Haslem, who had been ambushing him for a long time in the bottom corner.
"Whoa!"
In addition to being able to do the dirty work, Haslem also has a solid mid-range hand.
29 to 23.
Sun attack round.
Barea found Chen Yan after leading the half.
With Nash and Stoudemire both out, Chen Yan naturally became the number one offensive point on the Suns' court.
Defending Chen Yan was Daquan Cook. Chen Yan was no stranger to this player. They had played against each other in the NCAA Championship a few months ago. It was Chen Yan's stunning performance in the final that personally defeated Ohio State where Daequan Cook was playing.
Universities are eliminated.
Although Chen Yan ruined Cook's championship dream, Cook has no desire for revenge against him. The difference in strength between the two is really huge...
Chen Yan grabbed the ball with his right hand, waved it in front of Cook twice and then started directly toward his right!
One step over!
In just one moment, Cook recalled the fear of being dominated by Chen Yan a few months ago.
After entering the penalty area, Chen Yan directly faced the kidney fighter Mourning!
Mourning has won two Defensive Player of the Year awards and a shot-blocking title. However, he is already 37 years old this year and is missing a kidney. There is not much gas left in the tank. The reason why he is still on the court is entirely because of his passion for basketball.
love.
Mourning had two kidney transplant surgeries and came back three times for the championship. Mourning's story is legendary and inspiring, but Chen Yan did not let it go in this round.
The best way to respect a player is to give your best!
Chen Yan kicked off the ground with one foot and ejected into the air!
The moment Chen Yan took off, Mourning also jumped up.
As long as someone rushes to the inside, he will step forward to block the shot!
Either a wonderful block, or become a background king.
There is no such thing as shrinking in Mourning's world, which is why Carter's highlights of dunks always have Mourning in the background.
Just when the two were about to collide in the air, Chen Yan shrank, drifted and glided directly past Mour Ning!
Then he changed hands in the air, picked up the basket with his left hand, and scored with a cricket ball!
31 to 23.
"pretty!!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Chen flew directly past Mourning on his glider!"
"Hahaha! Mourning has landed, and Chen is still flying in the air!"
At American West Arena, the fans in the stands screamed.
Mourning looked up at the replay on the big screen and couldn't help but shake his head.
During the whole process, I didn’t even touch Chen Yan’s body hair!
At this moment, he completely felt that he was really old...
Looking back, the Heat attack.
Wade directly opened up the singles against Barnes, started at high speed and then made a reverse crotch jumper. The ball hit the inside frame and bounced straight into the net.
31 to 25.
Matt Barnes wasn't out of position on this shot, but Wade made the shot. His level of positioning doesn't mean that he can be restricted by good defense.
There are still 26 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.
The Suns' baseline ball went directly to Chen Yan, who slowly dribbled the ball across half court, pressing the attack time.
When there were 7 seconds left in the attack time of the round, Chen Yan suddenly started!
Haslem and Wade are ready on both sides, ready to help defend at any time.
However, Chen Yan did not choose to score the ball by himself. Instead, he passed the ball to Grant Hill on the other side of the three-point line and ran towards the three-point corner.
Hill is also a good executor of the final attack. Just when everyone thought Hill was about to take action, Chen Yan suddenly ran away!
After getting rid of Cook, he returned to the top three-point position of the arc.
I came in, I went out again...
Cook was immediately confused by Chen Yan and did not follow Chen Yan for the first time!
Hill's overall view is very good. When he saw Chen Yan's empty pass, he immediately made a cross pass.
Chen Yan did not adjust after receiving the ball and took action decisively!
"Whoa!"
Three-point hit, water splashing everywhere!
With the improvement of three-point attributes, Chen Yan has become more confident in his shots, and of course his shooting rate is also higher.
Chen Yan only gave the Heat 3 seconds.
Wade glanced at Haslem and ran directly towards the offensive half.
However, what they didn't expect was that Chen Yan was staring at the eye contact between the two throughout the whole process...
Just when Haslem was sending a long pass from the baseline to find Wade, a white flash came out!
Seeing the back of Sun No. 0 in front of him, Wade felt a chill in his heart.
"Snapped!"
In the center circle, Chen Yan took two steps after stealing the ball, and shot an arrow on horseback two meters outside the three-point line!
A meteor streaked across the sky above the American West Arena, and all the fans in the stadium fell silent and paid attention collectively.
"boom!"
The ball hit the backboard and bounced hard into the basket!
The ball goes in and the light comes on!
The home fans were in a frenzy, and Stoudemire and Laga Bale on the bench were so excited that they smashed their towels on the ground!
The moment he landed on the ground, Chen Yan lost his center of gravity, staggered and knelt on the ground with one foot.
He did not stand up in a hurry, but instead put his hand on his chin and made a contemplative gesture of celebration.
This pretense is natural and flows smoothly.
Just like his arrogant riding and shooting from outside the three-point line!
"Kakakakakaka!"
Bottom line photographers took crazy pictures to record this moment.
At this moment, Wade became the backdrop.
Wade is the king of coercion. He has always been the only one who can show off in front of others, so how can others show off in front of him?
What's more, the opponent is still a rookie who has played less than two games in the NBA!
Wade glanced at Chen Yan's back and his blood pressure rose a little.
