The rise of basketball legends

On November 11, as soon as Chen Yan came back, the Suns stopped the decline. The Suns beat the Blazers 20-109 away.

This is the second time the Blazers have lost to the Suns this season. When the Suns lineup is complete, the two teams are obviously not of the same level. The Blazers' goal this season is to reach the playoffs, while the Suns are defending the title.

Trail Blazers coach McMillan had a bad premonition before the start of the game. He was worried that Chen Yan would explode in this game after holding back for a few days. Facts have proved that sometimes a man's sixth sense is quite accurate. He missed 1 goal at the start and made all 6 shots. He made 7 of 6 plus free throws and scored 18 points efficiently.

Fans who saw Chen Yan's solo performance at home to the Blazers held up signs mocking the team's management.

As soon as the second quarter came up, Chen Yan played with a substitute. He deliberately burst out the energy accumulated in these few games, so the Blazers became victims...

Counterattacking three-pointers, top-man strong shots, snake-shaped breakthroughs after pick-and-rolls, and mid-range pull-ups after changing directions, Chen Yan quickly took over the game and turned the game into a display of his personal arsenal.

"Two-team! Double-team him!" Looking at the fiery Chen Yan, Blazers coach McMillan was forced to adjust his defensive strategy.

In the next offensive round, Chen Yan, who was in full form, ignored the two-person defense of the Blazers. After a pullback, he leaned over and accelerated, and directly along the sideline forcibly threw off the two Spanish outside defenses of Fernandez and Rodriguez.

After breaking the double-team, Chen Yan went straight to the basket, and the 216cm tall big center Joel Pulzbilla made up the defense. Chen Yan made a super gliding layup and hit the bar.

Joel Pulzbila spread his hands, and Chen Yan was still in the air when his legs landed on the ground. How could he defend against this?

Fernandez and Rodriguez also shook their heads helplessly. The two had seen Chen Yan's power during the Olympics, and their reunion in the NBA would only deepen their psychological shadow.

Especially Fernandez, he is marked by his powerful body and three-point accuracy, but these advantages have turned into disadvantages in front of Chen Yan.

During the offseason, Fernandez practiced hard on his ball skills and shooting in order to compete with Chen Yan in the NBA, but when they competed again, Fernandez found that the gap between the two seemed to be bigger than in the Olympics.

Many young players who played against Chen Yan silently regarded him as their lifelong enemy, but Chen Yan himself didn't know it.

Trail Blazers coach McMillan called a timeout. After the timeout, both sides played their main players, and Chen Yan continued to stay on the court.

The Blazers wanted to slow down the pace and play steadily, but the Suns didn't give it a chance, and directly abandoned the defense, just to play against you, and it was a crazy and desperate attack!

The Blazers have been led by the nose until the middle of the fourth quarter completely collapsed.

Chen Yan's firepower was slightly restrained in the third quarter, but he still scored a game-high 52 points.

After winning this game, the Suns will have a day off. November 11 is Thanksgiving in the United States. It is similar in nature to the Chinese New Year. It is a day for family reunions.

For this holiday, Chen Yan doesn't have much feeling. In his opinion, it is similar to an ordinary Sunday. After all, he is not an American, so he can't empathize with it.

Not to mention Thanksgiving, even the Spring Festival is not as good as every year. It is more of a symbolic family meal. Even the festivals of our own country are like this, let alone other countries.

Chen Yan originally planned to play games and watch dramas for the day, but when it was close to noon, he received a call from Nash.

"Chen, I heard that you are celebrating the festival alone today? Come to my house for dinner tonight."

"No, no, Steve, I'm fine by myself." Chen Yan said hastily, he's really not being polite, isn't it nice to watch dramas and play games at home on a rare day off?

"Chen, my family and I welcome you, I believe this will be a very memorable night." Nash said.

"Steve, actually I..."

"That's it, I hope to see you at night!" Nash hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Listening to the beep on the other end of the phone, Chen Yan fell silent.

There is a kind of loneliness called teammates think you are lonely.

But think about it, since Nash has already called, it would be too impolite not to go, anyway, I have nothing to do.

After Chen Yan had a simple lunch, he drove to the downtown shopping mall. His parents taught him not to go to other people's homes empty-handed since he was a child, and this is the same in foreign countries.

Gifts for Nash are easy to buy, but the gifts for Nash's wife and daughter gave Chen Yan a bit of a headache. Chen Yan decided to choose expensive ones, he can't go wrong with expensive gifts, anyway, he is not short of money.

Under the enthusiastic eyes of the salesperson, Chen Yan walked out of the shopping mall with big bags and small bags, and then Chen Yan drove to Nash's house.

"Children, look who is here!" Nash shouted to his two daughters with a smile when he led Chen Yan into the house.

Nash knew that Chen Yan was the idol of his two daughters.

When Nash's lovely twin daughters saw Chen Yan, they dropped the Barbie doll in their hands and rushed towards Chen Yan.

Chen Yan hugged one in each hand, and after playing with the two cute little girls for a while, he realized that he brought a gift tonight.

After sending out the presents, Chen Yan and Nash sat on the sofa and chatted for a while, while his wife Alejandra was in charge of making food in the kitchen.

"Steve, if you don't play basketball, you will become a football star, right?" Chen Yan said looking at the football elements on the walls of the living room.

"This is Bella's signed jersey, this is Maradona's signed football, this is..." Nash introduced his collection with a smile, and he did not forget to ask Chen Yan: " Chen, can you play football?"

Chen Yan shook his head: "I'm not very good at playing football, but it's no problem to spend two years training to get into the national team."

"Haha, Chen, you are so funny." Nash laughed. He thought Chen Yan was joking, but if he really understood the level of football in China, he would know that Chen Yan was serious.

Chen Yan continued: "I am still very interested in football. When I was young, I often played on the lawn downstairs, but as I got taller and taller, my friends called me to be a goalkeeper every day. I don’t like playing football anymore.”

"Haha, your country lost a football genius." Nash said.

"Fortunately, I lost. In the men's basketball team, I have the confidence to reach the top four and even win medals in the competition, but if I were a men's football player, I would never dare to say such a thing." Chen Yan said.

Nash said with a smile: "Since you are also interested in football, I will definitely call you in the next charity match and let you show off your football skills."

Chen Yan shrugged: "I don't have any football skills, I only eat cakes in front of the goal."

"Then I'll feed you the ball," Nash said.

"Just waiting for your words~"

After Chen Yan finished speaking, the two burst out laughing.
