The rise of basketball legends

After defeating the Clippers, the Suns ushered in a four-day holiday. During this period, D'Antoni did not arrange heavy training for the players, mainly to allow them to rest and recover.

The season is very long, and if a player's body is stretched like a string for a long time, it is easy to break.

On January 1, the Suns continued to sit at home against the visiting Indiana Pacers.

The Pacers are currently ranked 9th in the Eastern Conference. This was an unsuspecting game, but the Suns played extremely hard.

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. When the Phoenix Suns won 10 consecutive victories, all opponents were afraid of them. When they won 20 consecutive victories, all opponents encountered them like chicken blood. Every player wanted to beat them. The sun to prove himself! ? Ending such a long winning streak will be very fulfilling, and there is no shame in losing, since so many teams have fallen at their feet in the Suns winning streak anyway.

The Pacers came to the American West Arena with such a mentality. They performed well in the first quarter. He made only 25 shots and performed mediocrely, trailing by 7 points 19-25.

The 4 days without a game made the Suns players' bodies slack.

Fortunately, in the second quarter, the Suns recovered their form in time. Nash hit a signature horseback archery and blew the horn of counterattack. After entering the rhythm, the shooting percentage of the Suns players has improved significantly. In this quarter, the team took 21 shots With 12 hits, Chen Yan made 11 of 7 and contributed 17 points.

However, the Pacers' offense in this quarter was even sharper. The top star Daniel Granger scored 11 points. TJ Ford, who switched from the Toronto Raptors to the Pacers this summer, also played an eye-catching performance, with 7 points, 3 assists and 2 steals in a single quarter.

At halftime, the Pacers continued to lead 53-49.

Entering the third quarter, Chen Yan was still the Suns' main offensive point. He scored another 13 points in this quarter, but Chen Yan's outstanding performance did not help the team catch up with the score.

Daniel Granger ushered in an explosion in this game, scoring another 15 points in a single quarter, and his personal score has risen to 37 points by the end of the third quarter. It can be said that he played a super performance tonight.

Many NBA stars and even ordinary players will play a few games with super performances in their careers. Granger is like this tonight. His breakthrough is very resolute. He either scores or draws fouls. How can he throw a jumper from the wing? Jordan possessed.

77 to 74, the Suns further recovered some points, but they are still behind.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Granger came again. Granger and Daniels played hands together and then made a decisive shot from a high position. Chen Yan changed defense and rushed up. The Pacers played well in this game, and Chen Yan didn't let go. the meaning of.

"Shh!"

Granger faced Chen Yan and shot the ball in. Granger was tall, a full size bigger than Chen Yan. It was difficult for such a player to interfere with him when his hands were hot.

Looking back, Chen Yan followed the same pattern and exchanged hands with Nash. The Pacers didn't switch defenses, and Daniels was going to go around the screen to chase Chen Yan. High jumper!

After the goal was scored, Chen Yan was very excited. Competing with Granger on the same field had a feeling of rivalry, which further aroused his desire to score.

The game was stalemate until the last minute and a half, and the Pacers always maintained a weak lead.

During the offensive round of the Pacers, Granger caught the ball from the flank and then walked in. He hit the center of the sun to attract a double-team and then calmly distributed the ball to the outside. Daniels had a chance, but he didn't grasp it. The ball hit the basket The neck popped out three meters away.

Daniels is not a three-point shooter. His career shooting rate is only 23%. This season, he averaged 1.7 shots per game and only hit 0.3 shots. The shooting rate is only a pitiful 20%. Easy shot.

After Chen Yan picked up the rebound, he turned around and pushed forward. The Pacers players focused on him, ignoring Nash who was sneaking forward.

Chen Yan sent a precise oblique pass, and Nash made a layup after receiving the ball!

109 flats!

In the following rounds, both sides ended in iron strikes. The physical fitness of both sides dropped sharply at the last moment of the game, and the shooting rate is based on physical fitness.

With the last 25.9 seconds left in the game, the Pacers called a timeout.

"The last shot, the Pacers' ball possession, if they can kill the game and end the Suns' winning streak, it will definitely be the object of discussion among fans." Kenny Smith said.

"It will also be the object of the sun fans' curse." Barkley laughed.

Kenny Smith also laughed and said: "Hahaha, 82 consecutive victories, my God, this is not an easy achievement. You must know that 1 regular seasons in one season, this is equivalent to winning in one breath. 4/[-] of the schedule."

"Look who's going to handle the last attack," Barkley said.

"Whoever handles the final attack on the Pacers side should spend the best time, so that even if they miss, they can play overtime, and will not give the opponent a chance to shoot a lore shot."

The timeout ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the field.

The Pacers adjusted the lineup on the field. The current five players on the field are Jarick Jack, Brandon Rush, Daniel Granger, Dunleavy and Murphy.

The Pacers removed TJ-Ford, who was limited in height, and Daniels, who had no outside ability. Everyone on the field has mid-range shooting ability, and everyone is likely to complete the final shot.

The referee blew his whistle, Jarick Jack and Granger went out to catch the ball at the same time, Murphy sent the ball to Granger smoothly.

Granger was in no rush to attack, he had a full round to attack.

Raja Bell bent over and kneeled one step away from Granger. As the best defensive player on the outside of the Suns, he was responsible for marking Granger's last attack.

The other four players of the Pacers all have good three-point ability, which helped Granger open up the court space.

In the last 8 seconds, Daniel Granger kicked off the ball.

Granger changed his direction and went to the left, turned around and wiped to the center line step by step from the free throw line.

Bell followed his rhythm, but did not easily reach forward, maintaining a sense of oppression without losing his position.

After Granger completed a set of moves, he took a high jumper from the free throw line. Although Raja Bell had already reached out to interfere, the Sun fans in the American West Arena were still uneasy.

Granger is like a god of war tonight, and he has scored 46 points so far.

The moment Granger took the shot, he felt bad. He clearly felt that it was the ring finger and little finger that pushed the ball out. Usually, this kind of situation is caused by a strike.

Sure enough, the trajectory of the ball in space is obviously deflected to the right.

"Bang!"

At the same time as the iron strike sounded, the hearts of the Sun fans were also relieved. Granger gave him a chance!

Stoudemire called a timeout while grabbing the rebound, with 2.1 seconds left in the game.

Granger returned to the bench dejectedly. He and Chen Yan played against each other for a whole game, but when it came time to really test the quality of the star, his hands softened.

The initiative of the game came to the Suns again. When D'Antoni was arranging tactics, the camera continuously focused on Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was the league's lore king last season. This season, he has played more than two months without a single lore. It's not that Chen Yan's key ball ability has weakened, but that the Suns' overall combat effectiveness has improved to a higher level, and there are fewer anxious games. No, I didn't give him this chance.

After the timeout ended, the Suns also adjusted their lineup. Novak played in armor. Like the Pacers, the Suns also replaced players with outside shots at the last moment.

"Beep!"

The referee blows the whistle and the game restarts!

Diaw lifted the ball from the sideline, and the Pacers players watched very closely. They didn't want the entire game to fall short in the last two seconds.

Dior encountered a worldwide problem with a sideline ball, and he couldn't send the ball right away!

Nash retreated two steps to catch the ball. Dior glanced at Nash and swung it in the opposite direction one second before the serve was violated!

Chen Yan took advantage of Novak's screen to get the ball at a 30% angle outside the three-point line on the wing. The Pacers had a communication problem. Granger was a step slower to bypass the defense. Just watched Chen Yan dial the ball from beyond the three-point line and make a shot!

As soon as the ball is shot, the fans will know that there is such a wide open three-pointer. For Chen Yan, the difficulty factor is almost 0!

"Shh!"

"duo~"

A hammer!

The goal light is on!

109 is better than 112!

Chen Yan punched the air forcefully, Phoenix, your lore king is back!

Fans left comments online.

"The Pacers collectively short-circuited and missed a person who should not be missed!"

"How dare the Pacers make Chen Yan shoot so comfortably?"? "The long-lost countdown lore!"

"The killer never misses an opportunity."

"Huge huge mistake!"

"Granger should be the most frustrated person on the field. He just missed the game-winning shot in the last round. This round saw Chen Yan hit the game-winning shot in front of him."
