The rise of basketball legends

Five days later, the NBA Summer League kicks off!

Chen Yan came to Las Vegas with the team two days before the game.

The level of the summer league is a little low, but it is still an NBA event, and the benefits obtained must be greater than the training.

For the past half month, Chen Yan not only trained every day, but also bought three 7-day double training cards with the honor points he got after being elected to the second place.

As a result, during this period of time, Chen Yan added 1 rebound attribute point, 1 defense attribute point and 1 strength attribute point.

Simply blood loss!

Training, the fastest way for other players to improve, has become the cheapest way for Chen Yan to improve.

Chen Yan also concluded a truth, that is, don't fix those bells and whistles in the future, and use the honor points directly to add attributes and buy star skills, which is better than anything else!

Summer League consists of Rocky Mountain Summer League, Orlando Summer League and Las Vegas Summer League.

This year the Suns are participating in the Las Vegas Summer League.

Although it was established the latest, the Las Vegas Summer League is the largest and most influential of the three existing summer league events, with a total of 22 NBA teams participating.

There is also a very interesting phenomenon in this year's summer league, that is, in addition to the NBA team, there are two national teams participating in the event.

They are the Croatian men's basketball team and the Chinese men's basketball team.

Coincidentally, the Chinese men's basketball team is also participating in the Las Vegas Summer League, and there is another contest with the Suns!

After this game, it will be broadcast live on CCTV5.

Many domestic fans expressed their desire to see Chen Yan wearing the national team jersey in the summer league, instead of appearing in front of the camera as an opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team.

But there is no way, the men's basketball team's training list for this round was determined at the end of May.

Although the Chinese men's basketball coach Yunus is very optimistic about Chen Yan, the rules are the rules. It is impossible to parachute a player into the national team at this time, which is also unfair to other players.

But if nothing else happens, Chen Yan will definitely enter the next national team training list!

The Sun's summer league tour will soon start, and their first opponent is the Boston Celtics.

This is the first duel between Chen Yan and Durant after leaving the University of Texas, which is very gimmick.

Although Las Vegas is a gambling city, the fans' enthusiasm for basketball is still very high.

The attendance rate for tonight's game exceeded 8%, which is already a very scary figure in the summer league.

Before the game started, Durant went to the pre-game press conference with his schoolbag on his back.

"Kevin, this game is the first time you and Chen have appeared as opponents on the court. What special feelings do you have?"

"Hopefully I don't pass the ball to him when I'm playing."

After Xiaoshuai finished speaking, the reporters around laughed. In fact, Xiaoshuai has a sense of humor, but most of the time it is cold humor, and he himself doesn't know it.

Then the next reporter asked:

"Kevin, what do you think Chen will do tonight?"

"I know that guy, the intensity of summer league can't beat him, he will definitely play very well tonight."

"What do you think you would be like if you played against him?"

Durant thought for a while: "Let's open [-]-[-]. I often eat his food alone during training."

After the pre-match press conference, Durant changed his clothes and went to warm up.

Near the middle circle, Durant greeted Chen Yan.

"Chen, I heard you didn't start tonight?"

Chen Yan said with a smile: "A warm-up match, there is no need to be so serious."

It was D'Antoni's intention not to put Chen Yan in the starting roster. Before the start of the summer league, D'Antoni specifically told the assistant coach to strictly control Chen Yan's playing time. It is meaningless to win the summer league. Injured during the game.

Durant also smiled: "It's the same as my idea, I also hit casually."

If it weren't for Durant's performance after the opening, Chen Yan would have almost believed his words!

In less than 5 minutes, Durant scored 10 points!

Three-point pull-ups, mid-range jump shots, fast breaks after transitioning from offense to defense, and fouls caused by breakthroughs in positional battles!

Durant almost took out everything in the arsenal. Is this called a casual fight?

After the first quarter, the Celtics led the Suns by 23 points 13-10.

The Suns played without any rules at all, whoever gets the ball goes up, and there is basically zero communication between the players.

Chen Yan had anticipated this before playing in the summer league. After all, the players participating in the summer league were marginal workers in the NBA. These players were all in a competitive relationship, so naturally they would not communicate much.

Everyone is desperately scoring just to make their stats look better, win the trust of the NBA team, and sign a guarantee contract.

This has also created a situation where players are fighting on their own.

In contrast, Chen Yan did not have this trouble.

He is the No. [-] pick. The team focuses on cultivating talents, and his mentality is completely different from these players.

It's a bit like the feeling of rich second generation entering a factory to experience life...

"List!"

"List!"

"List!"

At the beginning of the second quarter, many fans in the stands shouted Chen Yan's name in unison.

Half of the fans at the scene tonight came for Chen Yan, but after playing for more than a quarter, they still haven't seen Chen Yan. Can you not be in a hurry?

Before all the fans called out RNM to refund the money, the Suns assistant coach replaced Chen Yan.

The Celtics coaching staff wanted to arrange Durant and Chen Yan to face each other.

Durant said that he is not stupid, how could he defend Chen Yan alone?

Durant immediately found a fringe player named Alan Ray and asked him to defend Chen Yan.

Alan Ray agreed without even thinking about it. His script has already been written. He will hit the No. [-] show, prove himself, win a guarantee contract, and reach the pinnacle of his life!

However, his plan got stuck at the first step...

As soon as Chen Yan came up, there was a change of rhythm, and he easily swayed away and hit a mid-range jumper.

Then two consecutive rounds of steals and fast downs, the tomahawk smashed and dunked successfully!

Then it was in the transition of offense and defense again, facing Alan Ray with a slowed down version of the lost track.

After easily throwing off Alan Lei, Chen Yan also played a jelly layup.

Full of anger!

With less than 5% of his skill, Chen Yan completely defeated Alan Lei without any difficulty.

Chen Yan's scoring performance also made the noise on the scene suddenly rise!These spectators are not fans of any side, as long as whoever plays well and scores beautiful goals, they will applaud whoever they are!

Chen Yan played in the summer league to maintain his form and not to abuse the food. Alan Lei made him feel the slightest intensity.

Ever since, in the next offensive round of the Suns, Chen Yan approached Xiao Shuai.

After the pick and roll, Chen Yan and Durant formed a 1V1!

The fans at the scene began to boo, screams and whistles continued.

Everyone wants to see this pair of crisp noodle brothers duel.

coming!

In front of Durant, Chen Yan used his signature freeze!

Although Durant was not frozen this round, he could not escape the fate of being passed by Chen Yan!

Although he was flexible enough, Durant's center of gravity was still too high. The moment he lowered his waist, Chen Yan found an opening and broke through the line of defense.

Then, Chen Yan went through the barrier alone and entered the inside line!

Against the three defenders, use [Magic Shadow Tracing]!

Score the ball for a layup in the gap and cause an additional penalty!

AND-ONE!

The faster pace of summer league reduces the team's role and increases the space for individual players to perform. Players need 10 fouls before they are sent off.

When defending, all the players often make random moves, and their movements are sometimes very large, which caused Chen Yan to play 2+1 very frequently.

This kid... His footsteps have become stronger again?

Durant behind him couldn't help sighing after seeing Chen Yan use [Magic Shadow Lost Track].

Looking back, the fans screamed even louder.

It turned out to be on the defensive end, and Chen Yan took the initiative to find Durant.

This ball Durant wanted to use his height to force Chen Yan, but Chen Yan got stuck in advance, forcing him to go to the right.

With 7 seconds left in the offensive clock of the round, Durant forcibly pulled the iron.

Chen Yan really knows Durant very well. Not only does Chen Yan know what kind of Internet celebrity he likes, what kind of crispy noodles he likes to eat, but also his shooting habits, and his weaknesses and shortcomings.

During this period, Durant's shooting action was straight up and down. If he was forced to go to the right side, his signature pull-up would be very uncomfortable, and his shooting percentage would drop sharply.

In the season when Durant became the God of Death in the previous life, it was because of the change of his shooting movements, and the addition of various human-ball combination skills, low post singles, and left and right turning skills.

But now Durant is just a schoolbag, and Chen Yan treats him steadily.

In the next few rounds, Chen Yan used the same routine, and the only thing Durant could do was to keep pulling on Chen Yan's head in an uncomfortable position.

On the defensive end, Durant also tried his best to limit Chen Yan as much as possible.

He basically understood Chen Yan's offensive routines.

The two can be said to know each other well.

The only difference is that Chen Yan has a way to restrict Durant when he knows the basics, but Durant is helpless against Chen Yan.

This has something to do with the playing styles and characteristics of both sides. Durant can't keep up with Chen Yan's speed and frequency.

Let's put it this way, many times even if Chen Yan told Durant in advance that he was going to go to the right, he would not be able to defend against it!

At the end of the game, the Suns finally defeated the Celtics 88 to 80 and won the summer league!

Chen Yan scored 17 points in 34 minutes, not only surpassing the number of minutes, but even doubled!

And Durant also scored 25 points, but his efficiency was impressive, especially when he played against Chen Yan.

The on-site commentator laughed and joked after the game: "After watching this game, I finally understand why Chen is the second place and KD is the third!"
