Chapter 74 The golden guns strike! Chen Yan solves the answer?
On November 8, after two days of rest, the Phoenix Suns were still playing at home.
This time they will face the challenge of the Denver Nuggets!
This game is also a game that attracts a lot of attention from fans. The Suns have a gorgeous run-and-gun style and the hottest supernova in the league, while the Nuggets are led by a pair of golden guns with explosive scoring ability!
Iverson and Anthony look like a super luxurious duo at first glance, but in fact the effect of the two's partnership is not as good as imagined.
Although they are both super scorers, Iverson and Anthony did not have any chemical reaction, and the game seemed to be on separate sides, with whoever got the ball playing in isolation.
Fans have high expectations for this backcourt combination, but the functions of these two super scorers overlap, making it a typical combination of 11 to less than 2.
But let me put it into perspective, the Nuggets' lineup looked really beautiful during this period.
There are golden guns with explosive firepower on the outside, and Camby is the shot-blocking and rebounding king on the inside, guarding the basket.
There is also Jr. Smith on the bench who has great impact and good physical fitness. In the past two seasons, Jr.'s shooting percentage has also been good, with 45% of two-pointers and about 40% of three-pointers.
.
Another insider, Kenyon Martin, has also just returned from injury and is in good condition. With his explosive jumping ability, he can often tear apart the opponent's inside line and cause a great impact on the opponent's inside line.
In addition, the Nuggets also have a group of powerful role players like Anthony Carter, Nene, and Kleiza. This lineup is already top-notch in today's league.
Although it can't be said to be a tough battle, today will definitely not be an easy game for the Suns.
"Charles, I only have one question about this game, and that is can Chen continue his previous performance and get 30 again?" In the TNT studio, Kenny Smith dug a hole for Barkley again.
"30? As long as he is willing, I think it's okay." Buckley raised his eyebrows and said.
"orge-on! Man, your answer is as if you didn't say it. Give me a guarantee!" Kenny Smith said with a smile.
"I generally don't like to make predictions like this unless I'm betting."
When he mentioned the bet, the corners of Kenny Smith's mouth couldn't help but curl up crazily.
"Charles, do you remember the last Chinese player we bet on? Hahahaha!" Kenny Smith burst into laughter after saying this.
On November 17, 2002, in the eighth NBA game of Yao Ming's career, Barkley made a bet with Kenny Smith in front of the live cameras that if Yao scored more than 19 points, he would kiss the donkey's ass.
Everyone knows what happened next...
In the commentary seat, Barkley spread his hands: "I have learned my lesson. This time I bet on Chen to get 30."
"Okay, what's the bet today?"
In fact, Kenny Smith also wanted to bet that Chen Yan could get 30, but there was no way. For the sake of the effect of the show, the two commentators had to face each other.
After thinking for a while, Barkley said: "How about the loser wearing underwear to commentate the entire next game?"
Kenny Smith couldn't stop laughing after hearing this: "Can't you wait to show off your Spongebob underwear?"
Buckley immediately fired back: "Kenny, you'd better put away all those ripped underwear of yours in advance, so as not to expose your butt in front of the national audience!"
The two of them kept bickering like this before the game, and the scene was very joyful.
...
...
During the warm-up period, Iverson was interviewed by Fox Sports reporters on the sidelines.
"ai, the Suns' second pick has been performing very well recently. He has scored 30 points in three consecutive games since the start of the season. What kind of player do you think he is?"
"I have watched his performance in the NCAA, and I admire his playing style. His recent performance has also been very eye-catching..."
Halfway through Iverson's words, Anthony suddenly poked his head out from behind with a funny look on his face: "But he won't be so lucky tonight because he met us!"
Anthony smiled happily in front of the camera.
Remember this smile, Melon will soon stop smiling.
"Du~~~~~"
The electronic buzzer sounded, and at the end of the first quarter, Chen Yan scored 15 points with sudden shots and free throws!
This quarter the Nuggets' defense was almost torn apart by him!
"fxxk! You told me that guy is a rookie?" Anthony's mouth on the bench was like honey.
He didn't expect Chen Yan's scoring ability to be so strong. Although Anthony had seen some news about Chen Yan before, Anthony still didn't pay much attention to such a rookie.
The second quarter of the game started quickly.
D'Antoni did not let Chen Yan bring the bench lineup like he did in the previous games.
Chen Yan played almost the entire first quarter, and D'Antoni had to let him rest and catch his breath.
The Suns had a full bench lineup on the court at this time.
D'Antoni didn't have any hope for this lineup. He originally planned to let the substitutes overdo it and gain some rest time for the main players. Unexpectedly, this overexertion led to a surprise!
Substitute point guard Barea made a steal and layup as soon as he came up!
Then in the next offensive round, he stormed inside and scored 21, full of energy!
For the Nuggets, Jr. Smith also hit consecutive turnaround jumpers.
Although jr struggled when he was short-circuited, once his touch got better, he was as good as an All-Star and could make all kinds of difficult shots.
So there was a scene of Barea and Jr competing on the court!
In the past few games, many fans ridiculed the Suns management for looking for treasure in the garbage dump and found Barea, a short guy who can't play.
However, I believe that after watching Barea's performance in this game, these fans will fall into the law of true fragrance.
On the Suns bench, Chen Yan took the lead in waving a towel.
The atmosphere of the team is very good, as long as someone performs wonderful operations, everyone will spare no effort to cheer him!
At 7 minutes and 48 seconds of the second quarter, the score on the court was 46 to 42, and the difference between the two sides was very tight.
D'Antoni decisively called for a 20-second pause.
After the timeout, the main players of the Suns came back on stage!
Nuggets coach George Karl also made a big move and sent the starter on the field.
Players on the Suns court: Nash, Chen Yan, Raja Bell, Diaw, Stoudemire.
Nuggets players on the court: Iverson, Kleiza, Anthony, Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby.
Sun attack round.
After Nash and Stoudemire finished the pick-and-roll, they flicked their hair and wiped it directly near the free throw line.
Nash did not choose to pass this ball to Stoudemire who followed him, nor did he choose to do it himself. Instead, he handed it to Chen Yan with one hit!
Chen Yan took advantage of the situation after receiving the ball and went straight into the penalty area!
Seeing Chen Yan's intention to attack the basket, Martin, Camby and Anthony immediately surrounded him.
The scouting report on Chen Yan says that he likes to attack the basket, has a strong desire to score, and basically does not pass the ball.
Nuggets assistant coach Stacey Augmon specifically emphasized this point during the break.
So the three of them rushed towards him without any scruples!
Four people take off at the same time!
1v3 in the air?
After Chen Yan was stuck in the air, he suddenly sent the basketball he was holding high behind him and threw out the skill [Pass Master lv1]!
In the picture, Chen Yan gave the ball away between Camby and Martin!
After Stoudemire caught the ball, a Bawang Liding came directly!
"Boom!!"
"Wow! Incredible pass! Chen sent the ball out among three people in the air!" Barkley roared with excitement.
"Haha, this guy usually doesn't pass the ball. When he does, it's a wonderful pass!" Kenny Smith also said.
The Suns home fans also burst into loud cheers. From a visual point of view, this pass was no less than a dunk!
"That's a beautiful message! Chen, were you possessed by Steve just now?" Xiaosi excitedly patted Chen Yan's butt.
"Haha, I did learn a few tricks from him recently." Chen Yan replied with a smile.
[Passing Master] not only allows Chen Yan to pass the ball more accurately, but also can continue to upgrade through continuous use, which also greatly stimulates Chen Yan's desire to pass the ball.
However, Chen Yan still puts scoring first. If Nash passes the ball to him, who will be responsible for the outside firepower?
Nuggets offensive possession.
Iverson changed his position and took a step back to pass Nash, and succeeded in a small throw from the free throw line.
Nash's defense is a colander, and it is really difficult for him to face Iverson one-on-one like this.
After the ball was scored, Diaw quickly returned to the baseline and served quickly.
The purpose of the Suns is that they can lose points, but they can't stop the fast break.
After receiving the ball, Nash pushed all the way to the frontcourt. The Nuggets retreated very timely in this round, and Nash did not have a good chance to play the ball.
After observing for a while at the top of the arc, Nash handed the ball to Chen Yan hand in hand.
While hand-to-hand, Nash blocked Kleiza who was facing Chen Yan.
Nash doesn't expect to use his small body to block the defensive player. He only needs to slow down his follow-up speed. With Chen Yan's mobility, he can easily break into the inside as long as the opponent is slightly out of position.
At the moment when Nash handed over the ball, Iverson changed defense and blocked Chen Yan's offensive line in advance.
Chen Yan didn't force himself, he took a sudden step and pulled the ball back.
After seeing this, his teammates consciously pulled away and let Chen Yan and Iverson go 1v1!
Near the top of the arc, Chen Yan first made a tentative crossover. He wanted to see where Iverson's center of gravity was.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yan's crotch returned to position, and another crossover came!
The moment he saw Iverson's center of gravity tilting to the left, Chen Yan quickly used his body to change direction and take a step to the right!
When Iverson completely lost his center of gravity, Chen Yan made a decisive jump shot near the free throw line!
"Whoa!"
Although Iverson tried his best to defend after he was out of position, his height disadvantage did not interfere with Chen Yan at all, and naturally he could not stop the basketball from flying into the net.
"Damn it! Chen Yan passed Iverson?"
"Why does this ball look so much like the one Iverson used to hit Jordan?"
"Iverson passed God, Chen Yan unlocked the answer!"
"This scene will definitely become a classic ten years from now!"
This picture also triggered heated discussions among domestic fans!
In the eyes of the fans, this is not just an ordinary shake, but more like a inheritance!
After the basketball hit the net, Iverson glanced at Chen Yan's back as he returned to defense.
The 32-year-old Iverson stood there, looking affectionately at his 22-year-old self...
