The rise of basketball legends

After a day off, the Suns challenged the Bulls away.

This game did not attract special attention in the United States. The Suns are the defending champions and the Bulls rely on a group of young people to play. The two teams are not on the same level.

But in China, this game is the focus of the media and fans.

The two Chinese players, Chen Yan and Ah Lian, both appeared in the starting list for this game.

During the warm-up stage, Chen Yan and Ah Lian chatted for a while in the middle circle.

The changes in the UAE are visible to the naked eye. His English is better and his confidence is stronger than last season.

But this is not enough. If you want to truly gain a foothold in the NBA, you must make more efforts and changes, both on and off the court.

While the two were talking and laughing, Westbrook walked over with his head poking around.

"Hi! Russell, long time no see."

Chen Yan pulled Westbrook over. In this period, he was not as domineering as in his previous life, and he looked a little silly.

"Hey! Chen, you were still watching my game in NCAA a few months ago, and now we have become rivals, just on the stage of NBA!" Westbrook was a little excited, and Chen Yan expressed his understanding, he also came from his rookie season .

"Hahaha, Russell, let me see what progress you have made during this time." Chen Yan said with a smile.

Westbrook also grinned wide and showed a pure smile: "You will regret it."

"I'm looking forward to it." Chen Yan said with a smile.

After Westbrook left, Chen Yan and Ah Lian continued to chat for a while.

"Westbrook is a good guy, you can get in touch with him more."

After listening to Chen Yan's suggestion, Ah Lian nodded: "I also think he is a good person, quite forthright."

"You can't play alone in the NBA, otherwise no one will help you if you have a conflict on the court."

Ah Lian smiled and nodded, he listened to Chen Yan's suggestion.

Although Ah Lian's character is generally not easy to conflict with others, there is always an emergency.

Chen Yan is familiar with the UAE. He knows that the UAE basically does not communicate with his teammates except for games and training. This is one of the reasons why he cannot further integrate into the team.

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

Chicago Bulls starting five: Hinrich, Westbrook, Luer Deng, UAE, Gooden

Tonight, the Bulls put up a double point guard formation, and Ben Gordon was placed in the sixth man position by the coaching staff.

The Bulls do not have a stable lineup now. Rookie coach Vinnie DeNagello has just taken over the team this season. The early regular season is the period when he adjusts the team lineup.

The lineups on both sides are a bit similar, both belong to the kind of mobility but no traditional center.

Zhang Lili was delighted when he saw the lineup: "This game is absolutely beautiful, and the lineups on both sides must play fast."

Director Xu also smiled: "The scene is exciting when the pace is fast. I hope the two Chinese players can perform well tonight."

At the beginning of the game, Stoudemire beat the UAE with a jump ball, and the Suns got the chance to start the first attack.

Nash and Stoudemire played a classic pick-and-roll, and Stoudemire took a mid-range shot after receiving the ball.

"Bang!"

Stoudemire shot very resolutely, but his hands were a little cold at the beginning, and the ball missed the basket.

Westbrook rushed forward quickly after hearing the sound of iron strikes, looking for fast break opportunities.

During this period, Westbrook was not yet a triple-double slugger. His first reaction after the opponent shot was to seek a quick shot instead of shrinking back to grab a defensive rebound.

Gooden took the rebound and handed it to Hinrich next to him.

Hinrich has a good vision, seeing Westbrook, who is advancing at high speed, decisively sends a long pass!

Nash took off to intercept in the air, but the height of the ball obviously exceeded his jump height, and the ball was caught by Westbrook after passing over Nash's head.

Westbrook hits the rim at full throttle.

Chen Yan was the only one on Suns' defensive half.

Chen Yan first accelerated to circle around Westbrook, and then slowed down to adjust his pace. At the same time, Chen Yan fixed his eyes on Westbrook's footsteps, waiting for him to take off.

Westbrook didn't play any routines, just played purely recklessly, accelerated to the penalty area and kicked his legs directly, and took off explosively!

The audience stood up, this goal is definitely the top five goals of the day!

Chen Yan and Westbrook vacate at the same time, it's time to compete for talent!

Westbrook is full of impact, but the take-off height is a bit shorter than Chen Yan.

"Snapped!"

A solid big hat!

Go to tmd's basketball dream!

Westbrook exerted too much force and fell staggeringly. Chen Yan stabilized his center of gravity and quickly brought the ball across the center line.

Although both sides failed to score in the first attack, the tone of the game can already be seen, that is, one word fast!

As soon as the pace is fast, there will be defensive loopholes. Chen Yan used the opportunity of 5-on-4 in the frontcourt to convert a three-pointer!

"Shh!"

Hit the ten rings, hit the bullseye!

Phoenix Suns 3:0 Chicago Bulls.

"Hey! It's there from the beginning. It seems that Chen Yan has continued the good touch of the last game." Zhang He said understandingly.

"Westbrook took a big cap from Chen Yan just now. I don't know if this block will affect his next performance." Director Xu said.

Obviously Director Xu was thinking too much. People like Westbrook who are naturally confident will not be hit so easily. The Bulls attacked,

Hinrich just after halftime Westbrook tried to circle the ball.

Hinrich glanced at him and lobbed the ball inside. Now Westbrook is just a rookie and has little say on the offensive end.

After receiving the ball, Gooden distributed it to Luer Deng on the outside.

Luer Deng swayed and wanted to take the opportunity to break through. Raja Bell saw through his thoughts, and Raja Bell also shot the moment Luer Deng dropped the ball.

Luer Deng made a mistake and the ball was directly poked out by Raja Bell.

The Suns get a chance to switch offense and defense.

Chen Yan took control of the ball first, stepped on the accelerator, and advanced rapidly.

He likes the feeling of running wild on the court.

Chen Yan accelerated in a straight line and easily got rid of Hinrich. The athletic abilities of the two were not at the same level.

Sprinting into the penalty area, Chen Yan and Westbrook formed a 1v1 situation.

It was almost a replica of the Bulls' first possession.

Chen Yan made the leap with all his strength!

Westbrook took off and blocked with all his strength!

It's time to compete for talent again...

Westbrook only has Chen Yan in his eyes, but Chen Yan only has the basket in his eyes.

"boom!!!"

Chen Yan flew higher and higher and directly smashed the ball into the basket through Westbrook.

A thunderous dunk!

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

Westbrook was completely stunned, and it was only after landing that he realized that he had just fouled.

There were many cheers from the audience at the scene, and there were also many Chinese fans in Chicago, and many of them came for Chen Yan.

"Fuck! This dunk is too hard!"

"Haha, continuous education on both offensive and defensive ends, Westbrook welcomes to the NBA!"

"You translate for me what tm is called a button!"

"On-the-spot teaching!

"The content of this teaching is very simple, there is only one essential point, just jump higher than the opponent."
