The rise of basketball legends

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he was immediately high. He was born with the ability to mobilize the emotions of those around him.

Then, accompanied by the classic song "we-are-the-champions", a flag was slowly raised over the American West Arena.

Printed on the banner: 2007-2008 season, NBA championship, Phoenix Suns.

Seeing this scene, the fans cheered even louder, because this is the first championship banner in the history of the Suns!

Before the game even started, the Suns were completely overwhelmed in terms of momentum!

After the awards ceremony, the starters of both sides stayed in the center of the field.

Phoenix Suns starting lineup: Nash, Chen Yan, Raja Bell, Diaw, Stoudemire.

Cleveland Cavaliers starting lineup: Mo - Williams, Larry - Hughes, LeBron - James, Varejao, O'Neal.

Barkley, Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller served as the commentators for the opening game.

"The starting lineups of the two teams are not much different from last season. The Cavaliers have made adjustments on the point guard. They introduced the original Bucks point guard Mo Williams in the new season. The arrival of Mo Williams Undoubtedly, it will give James some firepower support, he averaged 17.2 points per game last season." Kenny Smith explained.

Barkley smiled and shook his head: "Both sides have sent familiar starters, and I feel like returning to the finals of last season."

Reggie Miller also said with a smile: "Seeing the finals opponent get the championship ring in front of his face, the Cavaliers players should feel uncomfortable, but if they can win the game in this situation, it will be revenge." .”

The three commentators talked and laughed, and the opening match officially started!

Stoudemire beat O'Neal with a jump ball!

Nash made a tactical gesture immediately after receiving the ball.

Stoudemire made a screen for Nash from outside the three-point line. Nash used the screen to dribble deep, and the free throw line suddenly stopped at a 45-degree angle.

Horseback archery shot!

"Bang!"

The basketball pops out of the frame.

Nash was very excited at the beginning of the game tonight. He usually seldom attack like this when he comes up, but today is different. Today is the day when Nash got the championship ring he had been waiting for for 12 years.

Varejao receives a defensive rebound with an explosive head.

Mo - Williams stepped forward to meet.

After dribbling for halftime, Xiao Mo crossed to find James.

Xiao Mo is one of the two guns in the Bucks, and even had unlimited firepower at one time, but all the privileges will no longer exist from the moment he joins the Cavaliers.

Xiao Mo knew very well that the Cavaliers were James' team, and he had to play around James if he wanted to survive here.

After taking a breath, James began to dribble and break through. It can be seen that James has practiced hard during the offseason. His physical condition is maintained very well, and his strength is even stronger than last season.

After a crotch dribble, James directly ran Raja Bell into the paint.

Stoudemire made up, and James took off against his defensive inertia.

James did not choose to go hard, and after dodging with an empty lever, he handed the ball to O'Neal inside.

After all, O'Neal is old. In the past few years, he would have hit the ball directly, but now he has to sink his body before taking off.

It was this blow that gave Dior time to defend.

Dior was very clever and wrapped O'Neill's arms directly from behind.

Slightly chopped to show respect.

An aging shark is also a shark, and the respect that should be given should still be given.

"Bang!"

O'Neal made the first free throw.

Barkley smiled when he saw O'Pang's clumsy free throw posture: "The Suns adopted the 'shark hacking tactic' at the beginning. Free throws have been a problem that has plagued Shaq throughout his career. It seems that there will be nothing too serious in this game. Big changes."

"Bang!"

Just after Barkley finished speaking, O'Neal missed another free throw.

Missed both free throws and the possession of the ball was converted.

Nash has possession of the ball for half court.

The miss on the first attack made Nash calm down a little. This round he handled the offense in the way he is best at.

After asking for a pick-and-roll, Nash walked from outside the left three-point line to the free throw line in the middle.

Mo Williams evaded the pick-and-roll next to Nash, and he defended well on the possession.

Nash slows down and hands the ball up to Diaw.

Dior responded with the ball, and Raja Bell played an off-ball screen for Chen Yan.

Chen Yan secretly pushed Larry Hughes and then used the screen to run outside the three-point line to receive the ball.

Chen Yan is no longer a rookie. After playing in the NBA for a season, he is very clear about the league's penalty standards. Referees generally don't call this kind of physical contact.

The moment Dior took the ball, Raja Bell took advantage of the situation and cut in.

The Cavaliers were directly confused by the Suns' off-ball running tactics. Larry Hughes and James had problems with their tacit understanding, and the two chased Raja Bell at the same time.

Chen Yan got a huge vacancy.

After receiving the ball, Chen Yan had enough adjustments, and he even shook his shoulders before taking the shot.

This inadvertent little action drew cheers from the audience.

Chen Yan shook his shoulders to relax his hands as much as possible, but from the perspective of the fans, he was celebrating in advance.

"Shh!"

Amidst the cheers of the American West Arena, the basketball hit the net!

0-3!

Chen Yan stretched out three fingers to express his excitement.

This is his first goal of the game and the Sun's first scoring of the new season!

"As stable as ever, Chen Yan hit a three-pointer!" Kenny Smith explained.

"It seems that the Cavaliers haven't entered the state yet. It is estimated that Chen will not have such a big open space in the training game." Reggie Miller joked.

"For such a killer, you can't give him too much space at any time, otherwise he will punish you with scoring."

The Cavaliers attacked, and James held the ball at the top of the arc for a three-pointer.

Raja Bell took a step directly. This is how the Suns defended against James in the Finals last season.

When James saw a phone call, he shot a three-pointer in anger.

In addition to participating in the Olympics this summer, James has also done a lot of three-point practice. He has had enough of being emptied outside the three-point line.

"Shh!"

The basketball drew an arc and got into the net.

3:3.

Practice is one aspect, and mentality is another aspect. There is not much difference between the regular season and the finals. James is relatively more relaxed in the face of this open three-pointer.

After the ball was scored, James glanced fiercely at Raja Bell who was defending him in front of him.

This look seems to say that if you dare to let me go, I will vote!

Raja Bell didn't care at all. After all, James is also an outside player, and it's normal to score an open three-pointer.

"Hey! James returned a three-pointer! Raja Bell obviously didn't defend the ball in place, and it's a bit of a shot." Zhang Lili said happily in the cctv5 studio.

"This three-point shot is very decisive. It seems that James has worked hard this summer." Director Xu gave James affirmation.

After the ball was scored, James prevented the Cavaliers from retreating, and the Suns entered a positional battle.

In a positional attack, Chen Yan singled out Larry Hughes with the ball at the top of the arc.

Raja Bell and Nash pulled to the bottom corners on both sides. Both of them have strong three-point shooting ability, and the court space was opened up at once.

The seemingly simple tactical arrangement actually requires Chen Yan's strong ball-holding threat ability.

Chen Yan kept dribbling the ball under his crotch, and Larry Hughes didn't dare to rush up. He couldn't tell whether Chen Yan was looking for a breakthrough angle or a shooting rhythm.

After the continuous crotch, Chen Yan took a tentative step to the right.

Seeing that Larry Hughes was still keeping his center of gravity pressed down, Chen Yan quickly joined the ball!

One step outside the three-point line and directly pulled it out!

Chen Yan's ball didn't take off very high, but his shot was quick and the shot was very sudden!

Larry Hughes just extended his hand symbolically, without any interference.

"Shh!"

The basketball fell into the net after a sharp spin.

Chen Yan started with a three-pointer and two-hit combo!
