The rise of basketball legends

After the three-game winning streak, the Suns started their road trip. In the next four days, they will play against the Pacers, Bulls and Bucks one after another.

The opponents are not strong, and the difficulty of this road trip lies in the dense schedule.

On November 11, the sun flew up and down non-stop to Indiana.

In the last game, Chen Yan's outside touch was not good. In this game, he entered the court half an hour earlier than usual to warm up.

Chen Yan is back in shape today. During the warm-up stage, he has three-pointers from all angles, and his shots are getting more accurate and farther away.

Pacers fans gradually felt something was wrong.

Damn, what does it mean to score 9 midfield three-pointers in a row?

The three-pointer in the middle circle is fine, but what is the operation of throwing a three-pointer in the player channel?

Wait, how can Nima go to the audience to shoot three-pointers?

Seeing Chen Yan hit all kinds of three-pointers against the sky, Pacers fans have an ominous premonition...

Sure enough, in the first quarter, Chen Yan unreasonably scored 5 three-pointers, and in the second quarter, Chen Yan continued to score 3 three-pointers.

With 8 three-pointers in the half, Chen Yan abruptly turned a regular season into a three-point contest.

The Bankers Life Arena was dead quiet, and they trailed by 19 points at halftime.

In the second half of the game, the Suns took advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to send all the main players to fight.

Play early and rest early, so that the game quickly turns into garbage time. This is also a chance for new players to exercise.

"Shh!"

Less than a minute and a half into the second half, Chen Yan made a three-pointer in transition.

This is his ninth three-pointer of the game.

The Pacers fans watched and shook their heads. Chen Yan's three-pointer was full of pressure, and they felt like they were about to go in as soon as they took the shot.

The Pacers attacked, and Granger responded with a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle.

Tonight, the Pacers' two outside players Granger and new aid TJ-Ford are in good condition, otherwise they would never be only 19 points behind at halftime under the indiscriminate bombardment of the sun.

Turning around, Chen Yan caught the dribble behind his crotch and quickly pulled it back, stepping on the logo in front of the middle circle and throwing a sniper shot!

Granger and Marquis Daniels rushed towards Chen Yan at the same time.

"Bang!"

The ball is finally ironed.

The home fans breathed a sigh of relief. If this kind of ball can be easily thrown into them, they will really report Chen Yan for cheating.

After a complicated dribble, Chen Yan made a super long three-point shot against someone. Chen Yan's shot was purely for fun.

He only dared to play this kind of ball when Chen Yan's hand was smooth and the team had a big lead, otherwise his teammates would inevitably feel dissatisfied.

After the miss, Chen Yan quickly threw himself into the defensive end.

tj-Ford feinted with the ball from the outside, and accurately handed the ball to the inside Hibbert with a single hit.

Hibbert is 218cm tall and is one of the tallest centers in the league. Seeing him receiving the ball in this position, Stoudemire has basically given up defending.

Just as Hibbert got up and was about to dunk, Chen Yan rushed into the penalty area from the flank.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Hibbert found that the basketball in his hand was stuck on the backboard.

Chen Yan finished nailing Hibbert!

Still a violent two-handed pegboard!

After landing, Hibbert staggered and fell to the floor. At this moment, he felt that the whole world was laughing at him.

During this period, Hibbert was not black Yao Ming, nor Gao Yuanyuan, but a rookie who had just entered the league and played 2 games. Chen Yan's super hot pot cast a huge shadow on his mind.

Chen Yan grabbed the ball off the backboard with both hands and quickly counterattacked.

Near the center line, Chen Yan gave the ball to Nash on the left.

Nash quickly passed back to Chen Yan after receiving the ball.

Chen Yan stepped on the logo and shot directly!

This is the same position as the three-pointer in the last round.

But the result is different.

"Shh!"

Water flowers bloom!

There was a carnival on the Sun's bench!

Tonight, Chen Yan is going to carry out the unreasonable three-pointer to the end!

This three-pointer also directly destroyed the confidence of the Pacers up and down.

In the next two and a half minutes, the Pacers fell into a scoring drought.

The Phoenix Suns seized the opportunity to play an 11-0 offensive climax. Pacers coach Jim O'Brien replaced all the main players in the second half of the third quarter, and the main players of the Pacers did not appear again until the end of the game.

At the end of the quarter, the Suns had all substitutes, Barea + Azubuike + Novak + Barnes + Jordan.

The Suns' substitutes deliberately practiced their tactics in the fourth quarter. The Pacers fans chose to leave the game because they couldn't stand it. In this case, those who stayed on the court to watch the game were definitely true fans.

The final score was 121 to 96, and the Phoenix Suns won by 25 points away.

陈炎全场18投12中，其中三分14中10，罚球2中2，拿到全场最高的36分。

In the last game, Chen Yan showed off his rich arsenal, with various offensive methods emerging one after another, but in this game, Chen Yan's shots were basically on the outside, showing his abnormal shooting range.

Chen Yan had two completely different playing styles in the two games.

In the Pacers post-game press conference, head coach Jim O'Brien said bluntly: "We were destroyed by Chen's three-pointer. He has turned that unconventional shot into a routine."

Pacers boss Daniel Granger calmly accepted the defeat: "Our firepower was suppressed from beginning to end. The Suns performed better tonight, that's it."

Granger's tone was very flat. The Suns were the defending champions last season. Losing to them is not an unacceptable thing.

At the Suns press conference, Nash said when talking about Chen Yan's three-point selection: "This is Chen's shooting rhythm. He is used to long-distance three-pointers and difficult three-pointers after dribbling. I am also used to admiring him. This kind of performance, the only thing I worry about now is that he will teach those kids badly, as far as I know, there are some kids in Canadian schools who just started to shoot super long three-pointers when they just got into basketball."

Chen Yan on the side smiled and said, "Steve is right. Through this opportunity, I would like to say something to all the kids who like my playing style. Practice your basic skills well, practice your dribbling, Passing, layup, running and defense, there is an old saying in China that you learn to walk before you learn to run, and you can do whatever you want in the game only if you practice the basic skills well.”

Chen Yan also does not want more and more children to blindly imitate his ultra-long three-pointers. His goal is to influence a generation of children instead of misleading a generation of children.

After the press conference, the sun immediately rushed to the next destination - Chicago.

After this game, the Suns only have one day to rest, and the next opponent is the Bulls of the Youth Army.

On the plane, Little Qiaodan was a little tired, Chen Yan walked up to Little Qiaodan and patted him on the back:

"Hey! Rookie, how does it feel in the NBA?"

Little Jordan shook his head: "It's more rushing than I imagined, and I want to die when I think of back-to-back fights."

"Hahaha! This is just the beginning, hurry up and rest, big man, you will get used to it soon." Chen Yan encouraged.

The NBA's schedule is much denser than that of the NCAA, and players who have just entered the league from college usually have to adapt for a while.

Jordan's games are often good and bad, and one of the important reasons for the ups and downs is the schedule.

Because of his unstable state, Jordan is often complained by domestic fans.

There are now a large group of fans in China who specialize in studying the Suns' games. The fans even remember the names and characteristics of the Suns water dispenser players and the development league players clearly. This is the effect brought by Chen Yan.

Dribbling beside Chen Yan will give him more exposure, but he will also face greater pressure.
