The rise of basketball legends

Chen Yan scored 13 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in the first quarter, scoring more than half of the team.

For the Jazz, their defense in the first quarter can be said to have failed.

Sloan kept tapping on the tactical board. He asked the players under him to be tougher, and to be tougher, to prevent Chen Yan from scoring in a manly way.

One day before, Sloan specially showed the players part of the video of the 1998 Finals. He wanted his players to see how their seniors dealt with Jordan back then. Sloan wanted to extend this intensity to Chen Yan.

The second quarter kicked off quickly. The main players of the Suns rested on the bench temporarily, and the Jazz also sent a second team.

Okur hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up. He only played for 12 minutes in the second game.

Korver hit a three-pointer on the wing after a round. The Jazz's bench lineup is very different from the main players, and their three-pointers are very accurate.

In this game, the Suns' bench players did not suppress the Jazz, especially Azubuike, who scored no points in four and a half minutes of the second quarter. Azubuike is an excellent sixth man. His The offensive ability is very strong, and the offensive methods are becoming more and more perfect, but he is still too young after all, and it is unrealistic to expect him to quickly score points every game like Ginobili.

In addition, the Jazz's devil's home game also put a lot of pressure on the Suns' bench.

The Jazz took the opportunity to catch up with the score, and after the dead ball, both sides put up the strongest lineup.

The two sides are at war with each other, and the points difference rises alternately.

The Suns mainly relied on Chen Yan and Nash as two guards to exert their strength. Stoudemire still couldn't find his form. The mask seemed to seal him. Except for the stunning dunk at the beginning, he was invisible on the offensive end most of the time. Part of the time dedicated to the fans blacksmith show.

But even so, D'Antoni still insisted on putting him on the court. On the one hand, he helped him find his form after returning from injury, and on the other hand, it also reduced the pressure on Chen Yan and Nash.

Even if Stoudemire is not in shape, the Jazz dare not let go. Who would take the risk of letting go of an All-Star power forward?

After the Jazz players touched the referee's scale, their movements gradually increased.

With 3 minutes and 27 seconds left in the second quarter, Chen Yan got a fast break opportunity. During the counterattack, he was going to force Deron hard.

Delong and Breuer behind him slammed Chen Yan to the ground.

The Jazz's signal is very clear, it can let you score, but it will never let you score easily. If you want to put the ball in the basket, at least you have to peel off your skin!

"Fuck! Play ball or hit people?"

"Deron and Brewer should be sent off!"

"Jazz is so dirty!"

"This ball is definitely aimed at people!"

Domestic fans cursed at the TV.

In the picture, the Suns player pulled Chen Yan up. After getting up, Chen Yan not only didn't get angry, but patted his collar very gracefully and stood on the free throw line.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Then came two clean free throws!

44:43.

Chen Yan's move is to tell the Jazz that your little tricks won't affect me!

Chen Yan was very calm, but his teammates couldn't swallow this breath.

During this period of time, the Suns played a mixed lineup of main substitutes. Stoudemire and Diaw took a break temporarily, and Barnes and Jordan were on the court.

In the next round of attack under the sun, Barnes made a dark effort when helping Nash pick and roll, and directly knocked the chubby Deron to the ground.

Deron is not a good person either, he knows that Barnes is retaliating, and he wants to fuck him when he gets up.

There was Xu Delong in Barnes, and the two head to head to each other.

The audience booed, and the players on both sides also rushed up.

Every championship team needs players to play bad guys and thugs. The Pistons had Bill Laimbier in the bad boy era, Rodman before Oakley in the Bulls era, Bowen in the Spurs era, and now the Suns play this role It is Barnes, he is ruthless and experienced enough.

Fortunately, the referee acted quickly and separated the players from both sides in time to avoid further conflict escalation.

Many fans were excited when they saw the friction between Sun and his opponent. They were eager to see another famous scene of Chen Yan.

But the real sun irons definitely don't think so. This is the regular season, not the playoffs. If they can't control their emotions and get banned for random shots, the result is likely to be that the team loses a whole round of the playoffs.

After the episode, the game continued. Chen Yan didn't directly clash with the Jazz players. He vented his anger in one attack after another.

In the next 3 minutes, Chen Yan scored 10 points in a row from outside shots, including two ultra-long-range three-pointers.

Even the commentator Kenny Smith couldn't help saying: "The Jazz paid the price for their rudeness. Chen is now 'awakened'. During this period of time, he took over the game on the offensive end."

Barkley said with a smile: "The Jazz's original intention was to limit Chen through a wilder defense, but the effect they showed was just the opposite. The small movements of the Jazz players and the noisy voices on the scene became the catalyst for Chen."

"Some players like to play at home. The cheers and shouts of the fans give them a sense of security, but some players like the opposite. They enjoy the provocation of away players and the abuse of fans. Anger is their source of energy."

Sloan on the sidelines was speechless. He said that he asked the players to give Chen Yan Jordan's defensive strength, and he didn't say that Chen Yan defended him as Jordan!

With the last 27 seconds left in the half, the Jazz's offensive round, the score was 56 to 50, and the Suns led by 6 points.

Deron asked to open up space, and he wanted to single out Nash at the top of the arc to complete the final attack.

One step outside the three-point line, Deron pressed the attack time of the round to 7 seconds before starting to play.

Nash is very tight, and the proportion of such buzzer shots is much greater than that of breakthroughs, and he knows it well.

After Delong started, he quickly picked up his crotch, and then another change of direction!

After the signature double change of direction swayed away for half a body, Deron pulled up a jumper from a high position.

"Bang!"

The ball is missed!

However, Boozer was very witty and ran to the other side of the basket ahead of time, pushed Barnes away with his strong body, got an offensive rebound and made a tip-up!

56:52.

Boozer beat his chest and roared after the hit!

This is his 16th rebound in the half!

Tonight, he set a half-time rebounding record in the playoffs of Salt Lake City. You must know that the Jazz's ancestors were rich. It is not easy to grab the rebounding record from Mark Eaton, Karl Malone and other fierce men.

The Suns' rebounds in this game were blown by him alone.

This is one of the reasons why the Jazz can still bite the score even though the overall shooting percentage is low.

After Boozer hit, the Suns served from the bottom line.

3.6 seconds left before halftime.

After Nash received the ball in the backcourt, he dribbled two steps and then made a long pass to find Chen Yan. The connection between the two was too frequent in the last few minutes, and Nash's passing intention was judged by Deron.

Deron swoops and destroys the ball out of the sideline.

The Suns served in the frontcourt, but only the last 0.9 seconds left.

Barnes quickly threw the ball to Chen Yan from the sideline. In order to catch the ball smoothly, Chen Yan retreated very deep, already close to the center line.

After receiving the ball, Chen Yan didn't hesitate, and he didn't have time to hesitate, so he shot directly.

As soon as the basketball left the palm of the hand, the red light representing the end of halftime came on.

The ball was obviously short, and it started to fall halfway through the flight.

But before the ball fell, the referee's whistle blew first.

foul!

Still a three-point foul!

The Jazz home fans covered their heads helplessly, and the broadcast camera kept replaying the Jazz's foul just now. The moment Chen Yan made the shot, Deron and Kirilenko rushed forward together. The two collided in the air and lost their balance. Kirilenko, who fell to the ground first, brought Chen Yan's calf.

This is an undisputed foul. Kirilenko made Chen Yan lose his balance in the air.

If it is said that other people shoot from this distance, the most defensive players stretch out their hands symbolically, but Chen Yan is different. When he makes a shot, everyone has a feeling of going in. This is his most magical place.

In 0.9 seconds, the two of them also tried their best to block the hole of the gun. This is the strong sense of oppression brought by Chen Yan!

Chen Yan got three free throws.
