The rise of basketball legends

When Novak came back to his senses, he was already surrounded by a group of teammates.

Everyone was slapping him and shoving him, which is the way the Suns players express their excitement.

Chen Yan kept touching Novak's head: "I knew you could do it, I knew you could do it, I told you!"

Chen Yan is not that kind of selfish player, he is more excited when he sees his teammates make a lore than he does himself.

Novak was stunned by the sudden happiness, and was "ravaged" wantonly by his teammates at a loss, but Novak had a look on his face the whole time, and it was not difficult to see that he was enjoying it.

Mike Breen quipped: "Phoenix's new hero doesn't seem to be used to this scene."

Van Gundy laughed and said: "He's just overjoyed, you know not every player has the chance to kill at the Staples Center."

After returning to the locker room, there was a second round of celebration waiting for him. The teammates who returned to the locker room early prepared two buckets of water. When Novak appeared, Chen Yan first pretended to give him the game ball as a souvenir. While Novak took the ball, Jordan behind the goal poured the prepared water over Novak's head.

Just as Novak was about to flee, Dio rushed over with another bucket of water.

"Whoa!"

Cool through the heart, the heart is flying!

Although Novak became a drowned chicken, he smiled happily.

The atmosphere in the Suns team is very good, making Novak feel the warmth of home, which Novak has never felt before in the Rockets.

Winning this game against the Lakers is crucial, and Chen Yan feels that the cohesion of the whole team has reached a new level.

Statistics after the game:

洛杉矶湖人这边科比拿到全队最高的36分并有7篮板4助攻，加内特拿到31分13篮板6助攻2盖帽的全能表现，坎比10分15篮板3盖帽，费舍尔10分。

菲尼克斯太阳这边陈炎拿到全场最高的48分8助攻6篮板，纳什30分7助攻5篮板，两个人几乎包办了全队三分之二的得分。

Novak had 9 points and 2 rebounds. His score was not high, but he had a lot of gold.

As the key player in this game, Novak attended the post-match press conference with coach D'Antoni and Chen Yan.

The reporters were still waiting, and they pointed the microphones at Novak as soon as he sat down.

"Steve, you are the hero of all Suns fans tonight, tell me about your game-winning shot!"

Novak looked intoxicated: "It's incredible. I think I will watch the game video 50 times when I go back, maybe 100 times."

"Not every player has such a big heart. At the last moment of the game, he scored a goal to overtake the game. Tell me how you did it?" The reporter continued to ask.

Novak glanced at Chen Yan, and Chen Yan gestured for him to speak freely without restraint.

Novak adjusted the microphone and replied: "Do what you should do, I think I will never forget my most important duty on the court, that is to shoot and score, whether it is a lore or an ordinary three-pointer, as long as Given the opportunity, I’m confident I’ll hit it.”

Chen Yan was dumbfounded and asked you to speak freely, why are you pretending to be coercive?

After Novak finished speaking, he suddenly changed the topic: "I would like to thank the coach for his trust in allowing me to play at the last moment. I would like to thank Chen. His pass gave me such a good open opportunity. Thanks to my teammates in the Suns, my last shot was built on the basis of their hard work all game."

The reporter asked Chen Yan: "Is the selection of a pass for the last shot a pre-arranged tactic?"

Chen Yan pointed to Novak and said: "I told this guy, let him be ready at any time, as long as he has a chance, I will pass the ball to him, I know this guy will make a shot, I have faith in him, I work with him every day, I work out with him, and I know his shooting skills are in his bones, and he's one of the best shooters in the league."

"Novak made a fatal shot. As the top shot last season, do you have any advice for him?" the reporter asked.

Chen Yan thought for a while: "I suggest that he think of a celebratory action after the lore in advance. It's a bit silly to stand there blankly after completing such a cool lore."

Chen Yan's words made everyone laugh, and Novak himself laughed too. After laughing, he said that he didn't need to think about such fancy things, and that Chen Yan could just use any of Chen Yan's many celebrations.

This lore boosted Novak's confidence a lot. One day later, he scored 5 three-pointers and contributed 15 points in the game against the Heat.

The Suns and the Heat played a high-quality offensive battle. Wade scored 35 points with sudden shots, but he was still slightly inferior to Chen Yan's 44 points.

The two belong to each other and can't restrict each other, just put on a stance and attack and it's over.

In addition to Wade, another highlight of this game is the Heat's bench. Beasley and Cook scored 28 and 27 points respectively, and both of them went crazy.

Beasley is indeed a superstar seed. He is tall enough and flexible enough. His skills and finishing touch are also very good. If a more self-disciplined soul may be able to play, Cook is purely a burst of touch, and he can throw just three-pointers. Scored 6, but this also reflects from the side that the Heat really don't have any talents now, even a player like Cook can take so many shots.

However, even if the substitute exploded, the Heat still failed to win. They could not solve the two-gun combination of Chen Yan and Nash. After Stoudemire was injured, in order to make up for the lack of offensive firepower, Nash obviously increased the number of shots and scored significantly. In addition to scoring 29 points in this game, he also contributed 10 assists.

Other players of the Suns also played well, Azubuike 21 points, Grant Hill 16 points, Matt Barnes 15 points, Novak 15 points...

In the end, the Suns defeated their opponents 145 to 135.

A day later, the Suns challenged the Eastern powerhouse Magic back-to-back.

The Suns and the Magic have no grievances, but the reporter who caused the trouble did not intend to let them go. The reporter interviewed Howard before the game: "Dwight, Chen stole your slam dunk contest championship. His performance recently can be said to be in the limelight. Jin, tonight is the home court of the Magic, will you let him run wild on your territory?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I will beat him up. I welcome him to visit Orlando, but this victory must be kept."

Howard is a big boy, he has no plans, and he was hooked after a little guidance from the reporter.

Howard walked towards the court with a hippie smile. His understanding of basketball during this period was still on the level of happiness.

He wants to play basketball with ease and enjoy basketball, but he has overlooked one point, that is, if he loses, he will not be happy anyway.

Howard's smile didn't hang on his face for too long. The Magic's shooters were misfired tonight, which made him unable to play in the paint at all. After the first quarter, he only scored 3 points and 4 rebounds.

Although the Magic is known as a star with four shots, the offensive end mainly relies on four shots. His star is the star of defense and has no ability to attack independently.

Chen Yan broke out in the first quarter and scored 15 points. In the second quarter, Howard wanted to regain his position on the offensive end, but failed. Howard couldn't score points with Chen Yan. Chen Yan could attack independently, and he relied on others to feed the ball. .

After halftime, Howard couldn't laugh at all. The Magic trailed by nearly 44 points 62 to 20.

Back in the second half, Chen Yan and Nash teamed up to play a 10-3 spurt, pulling the point difference to 20+. In one round, Chen Yan even played a trick on Howard.

Chen Yan broke into the inside line and pulled the ball with an emergency stop, shaking Howard away, and then made a no-pressure throw.

Magic coach Van Gundy was forced to call a timeout.

When the camera focused on Chen Yan, he was smiling happily and relaxed, which was in stark contrast to Howard.

Seeing this, the fans suddenly realized that the smile would not disappear, it just shifted.
