The rise of basketball legends

Along with Chen Yan, Nash and Raja Bell also took a break.

The old man is 33 years old this year. Even if D'Antoni likes to play the main force, he will not let him play for too long in the regular season.

Last season, Nash averaged 35.4 minutes per game in the regular season. D'Antoni's plan is to control his average time to about 33 minutes per game.

Nash did not return to the bench after leaving the field, but lay directly on the billboard.

He has congenital spondylolisthesis, and he can only relax his body by lying down when he is resting. This is also Nash's privilege in the team.

When others are sitting and watching the game, he is lying down, which is better than the VIP seat...

The current lineup of the Suns on the court is Stoudemire + Diaw + Hill + Azubuike + Barea.

After the substitution, Azubuike and Barea also ushered in their debut in the Suns!

Both of them were very excited. When they came up, there was a pass error and a wave of celebration.

The home fans shook their heads after seeing it, saying, what did the uniform team do all summer?Just get these two goods?

Not everyone can be as free from stage fright as Chen Yan, a strong psychological quality is also a kind of talent.

D'Antoni didn't replace the two immediately. He knew that Barea and Azubuike had something, but they just needed a little more time to integrate into the team.

At the end of the first quarter, the Raptors also used the two sides to enter the rotation stage to catch up with a wave of points.

TJ-Ford made a lightning strike and assisted Kapono to hit consecutive three-pointers.

TJ-Ford's speed is terrifying. Iverson once admitted that TJ-Ford is the only player in the league faster than himself.

After hitting consecutive three-pointers, Kapono's career three-pointer hits exceeded 250, and he also surpassed Steve Kerr with a 46.1% shooting rate to become the player with the highest 250 three-pointer shooting rate in the NBA!

Jamario Moon, an older rookie, also played a big windmill in the counterattack, surprising everyone.

The Raptors' group of role players are strong and have their own characteristics.

Pierce on the bench couldn't help applauding the performance of the substitutes.

If the Celtics and Pierce are replaced, let alone chasing points, it would be good if the team does not get knocked down. Whether it is the main force or the substitute Raptors players, they are much more reliable than the Celtics.

Since being traded by the Celtics this summer, Pierce has basically been in a state of cursing for the past two months, but now he has slowly seen it. The Celtics only have feelings for him. The team's lineup Can't compare to the Raptors at all.

On the Suns' side, after Nash left the field, the offensive fluency of the Suns dropped greatly, and they were basically in a state of constipation.

Without Chen Yan's tough player on the field, the team can only hand the ball to Stoudemire to play hard if they fall.

Stoudemire is one of the best face-up players in the league today, but his efficiency has dropped significantly without Nash around him.

Veteran Hill did perform well. It seems that with the help of Sun's genius doctor, he has recovered about [-]% of his skills.

After the first quarter, the Suns led by 34 points 29-5.

The intermission time passed quickly, and Suns coach D'Antoni sent Chen Yan at the beginning of the second quarter.

He was joined by Barea, Raja Bell, Azubuike and Barnes.

Nash's back looked a little uncomfortable tonight, and Stoudemire played almost the entire first quarter. D'Antoni decided to let Chen Yan lead the second team to play for a few minutes.

This is a purely small lineup, and Chen Yan is the absolute core on the field.

As soon as the second quarter came up, TJ-Ford played a pick-and-roll with the backup insider Rashaw Nesterovic.

For this ball, TJ-Ford originally wanted to use a breakthrough to attract Chen Yan's double-team after the pick-and-roll, and then distributed the ball to Kapono who was ambushing on the outside.

Chen Yan saw this routine several times at the end of the first quarter, and had already seen through this routine. Seeing that there was no chance to score the ball, TJ-Ford had to do it himself.

"Bang!"

TJ-Ford's mid-range shot has always been unstable, and this round of offense also ended in a strike.

As soon as the iron sound sounded, the sun's counterattack formed instantly!

The camera just gave a close-up of D'Antoni on the sidelines. When the cut came back, Chen Yan had already reached the three-point line without the ball.

This speed is outrageous!

The Raptors have only TJ-Ford to keep up with Chen Yan. TJ-Ford is very confident in his speed, but speed does not mean defense.

One step beyond the three-point line, Chen Yan started straight away after receiving a long pass from Barea!

TJ-Ford's official height is 183CM. In fact, he looks similar to Barea. It is estimated that he is less than 180CM.

Faced with such a height difference, Chen Yan felt that any fancy movements he made were a waste of physical energy.

"BOOM!"

Take off against the wind, ferocious buckle!

TJ-Ford regretted it the moment he took off.

Because apart from acting as a background board, this jump seems to have no meaning.

"Beautiful!! The TJ-Ford dunking the ball has no temper at all! It only took three seconds from the start of the fast break to the finish. This kind of offense is very bright!"

Yu Jia's volume doubled, and the visual impact of this button on the audience is really strong!

Instant fryer on the spot!

The fans cheered everywhere, and under the huge noise interference, Jamario Moon made a mistake in serving the bottom line!

Chen Yan started with lightning, stretched out his long arms and directly completed the steal!

At the moment when Chen Yan made the steal, TJ-Ford also rushed towards him, ready to make a counter-steal like a gamble.

TJ-Ford has no other choice. Letting him defend Chen Yan 1V1 is simply giving away points. Why not try your luck with a gamble steal.

But obviously, TJ-Ford lost the bet.

In the picture, Chen Yan turned TJ-Ford as clean as the road in the morning with a skillful turn around!

"It's broken! Alright, Chen Yan, play with him!" Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly in the studio.

Chen Yan used his inertia to turn to the basket, and after flying into the air, he had a direct confrontation with Jamalio Moon who came out from the baseline!

"Beep!"

The moment the referee blew the whistle, Chen Yan switched hands and pulled the bar, gently picking the ball out from his fingertips.

Bounce!

The ball bounced three times on the rim and then bounced into the net!

AND-ONE!

The whole arena was shaken! ! !

TJ-Ford became the background board twice, he glanced at Chen Yan with sad little eyes, and said that he is still the senior of Chen Yan's Texas Longhorn. Is this how you kid greets seniors?

Players on the sun court took turns to celebrate with chest bumps with Chen Yan!

Even Nash couldn't lie down on the sidelines, and stood up excitedly.

Complete two rounds of attack within 5 seconds!

Come, come, you will be the son of the wind in the future!

After the extra penalty hit, Chen Yan suddenly extended the Suns' lead to double digits.

Raptors coach Sam Mitchell called a timeout.

The cheers at the scene were too loud, and he had to call a timeout to cool down the already boiling scene.

After the pause, the sun entered the full speed-up stage.

In the past, the Suns used V-shaped fast breaks, and the three of them went down quickly.

However, after playing a small lineup, basically every round of fast break is a picture of five people rushing towards the front court together.

It was very shocking, and it turned the basketball court into a track and field field!

Barea and Azubuike also gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game and scored successively.

The Phoenix Suns quickly opened the point difference to 15 points.

This was a surprise for D'Antoni. Originally, he just wanted to buy some rest time for the main players, but he didn't expect the five small lineups to receive a miraculous effect and directly smashed the Raptors' defense.

At 7 minutes and 25 seconds into the second quarter, the Suns replaced the starting lineup again.

Chen Yan still stayed on the court, but his style of play changed slightly.

With Nash by his side, he plays more off the ball or uses his running position to create space for his teammates.

I have to say that playing in this Suns team is indeed much easier than in college.

During the NCAA period, Chen Yan basically played singles with the ball. He spent every game under the opponent's strict defense, and double-teaming was commonplace.

In the Suns, the all-star combination of Stoudemire and Nash can help him easily open up the offensive space, and Chen Yan's style and characteristics are indeed incomparable with the Suns' running and bombing system.

The first half of the game ended quickly, the score was 66 to 50, and the Suns entered the second half with a 16-point lead.

Chen Yan's halftime statistics were 21 points, 4 rebounds and 3 steals.

This half-time data is already better than the data of many stars' full-time debuts.

However, many fans focused on another statistic of Chen Yan.

Assists: 0.

Many domestic fans have begun to tease Chen Yan, saying that he is Kobe Bryant's direct disciple, and the pass button has been secretly picked off when he played.

In fact, it wasn't that Chen Yan didn't want to pass the ball, but that D'Antoni didn't let it!

It may sound like nonsense, but it is true.

On the first day Chen Yan joined the team, D'Antoni clearly told Chen Yan that his role in the team would be pure and that of a scorer.

There is Nash outside the Suns and Diaw inside. They are all top passers, and the most indispensable thing is the organizer.

The biggest problem with this team is that the players play too unselfishly.

Especially Nash.

As the outside core of the team, Nash always likes to put passing and connecting teams first, which also leads to other teams as long as they wantonly cut off Stoudemire, they can bring the Suns' overall offense to a standstill, especially in the The bayonet hit the postseason stage.

So it's not that Chen Yan's pass button has been buttoned, but that the Suns need a 'selfish' player like him!
