The rise of basketball legends

After three consecutive victories, the Suns embark on a road trip. In the next four days, they will play against the Pacers, Bulls and Bucks.

The opponents are not strong, and the difficulty of this away trip is the intensive schedule.

On November 5th, the sun flew up and down non-stop to Indiana.

In the last game, Chen Yan's outside touch was not good. In this game, he entered the court half an hour earlier than usual to warm up.

Chen Yan is back in form today. During the warm-up period, he shot three-pointers from all angles, and his shots became more accurate and farther.

Pacers fans gradually felt something was wrong.

Damn it, what does it mean to score 9 midfield three-pointers in a row?

Forget about three-pointers in the center circle, what is the operation of throwing three-pointers in the player tunnel?

Wait, why can't you run into the audience and shoot a three-pointer?

Seeing Chen Yan's incredible three-pointers, Pacers fans had an ominous premonition...

Sure enough, Chen Yan unreasonably hit 5 three-pointers in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Chen Yan continued his firepower and hit 3 more three-pointers.

With 8 three-pointers in the half, Chen Yan turned a regular season game into a three-point contest.

Bankers Life Arena was completely silent. At the end of the first half, they were already 19 points behind.

In the second half of the game, the Suns took advantage of the victory to pursue the game and continued to send all their main players to challenge.

Play early and rest early, so that the game quickly turns into garbage time. This is also an opportunity for newcomers to practice by changing directions.

"Whoa!"

Less than a minute and a half into the second half, Chen Yan hit a deadly three-pointer in transition between offense and defense.

This was his ninth three-pointer of the game.

The fans at the Pacers' home court shook their heads. Chen Yan's three-pointer was so oppressive that they felt like they were going to score as soon as they took the shot.

The Pacers attacked, and Granger responded with a 45-degree three-pointer.

Tonight, the Pacers' two perimeter players, Granger and new player TJ Ford, were both in good shape. Otherwise, they would never have been only 19 points behind at halftime under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Suns.

Turning around, Chen Yan dribbled the ball from behind and quickly pulled it back. He stepped forward in the middle circle and stepped on the logo with his foot to snipe!

Granger and Marquis Daniels rushed towards Chen Yan at the same time.

"Clang!"

The ball is finally solid.

The home fans breathed a sigh of relief. If such a ball could be thrown in easily, they would really report Chen Yan for cheating.

After a complex dribble, Chen Yan shot a three-pointer from a long distance while facing someone. Chen Yan's shot was purely for his own fun.

This kind of ball can only be played when Chen Yan has a good hand and the team is leading by a big score, otherwise his teammates will inevitably feel dissatisfied.

After missing the shot, Chen Yan quickly devoted himself to the defensive end.

tj-Ford feinted with the ball from the outside and accurately handed the ball to Hibbert inside.

Hibbert is 218cm tall and is one of the tallest centers currently in the league. Seeing him receiving the ball in this position, Stoudemire next to him has basically given up on defense.

Just when Hibbert stood up to dunk, Chen Yan rushed into the penalty area from the wing.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise, and Hibbert found that the basketball in his hand was stuck on the backboard.

Chen Yan completed the nail board against Hibbert!

Or a violent two-handed nail board!

After landing, Hibbert stumbled and fell to the floor. At this moment, he felt that the whole world was laughing at him.

During this period, Hibbert was neither Yao Ming nor Gao Yuanyuan. He was just a rookie who had just entered the league and played two games. Chen Yan's super hot pot cast a huge shadow on his soul.

Chen Yan grabbed the ball from the backboard with both hands and quickly pushed back.

Near the midline, Chen Yan distributed the ball to Nash on the left.

Nash quickly passed the ball back to Chen Yan after receiving the ball.

Chen Yan stepped on the logo and took action!

This is the same position as the three-pointer in the last round.

But the results are different.

"Whoa!"

Water flowers bloom!

There was a carnival on the Suns bench!

Tonight, Chen Yan is going to carry out the unreasonable three points to the end!

This three-pointer also completely destroyed the Pacers' confidence.

The Pacers fell into a scoring drought for the next two and a half minutes.

The Phoenix Suns seized the opportunity and launched an 11-0 offensive climax. Pacers coach Jim O'Brien replaced all the main players in the second half of the third quarter. The Pacers' main players did not appear again until the end of the game.

In the last quarter, the Suns played all substitutes, including Barea, Azubuike, Novak, Barnes, and Jordan.

The Suns' substitutes began to deliberately practice tactics in the fourth quarter. The Pacers fans couldn't stand it and chose to leave the game. In this case, those who stayed on the court to watch the game were definitely true and die-hard fans.

The final score was 121 to 96, and the Phoenix Suns won the away game by 25 points.

Chen Yan made 12 of 18 shots from the field, including 10 of 14 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring a game-high 36 points.

In the last game, Chen Yan showed off his rich arsenal of weapons and various offensive methods. In this game, Chen Yan's shots were basically from the outside, showing his abnormal range.

Chen Yan had two completely different playing styles in the two games.

At the Pacers' post-game press conference, head coach Jim O'Brien said bluntly: "We were destroyed by Chen's three-pointers. He has turned that unconventional shot into a routine."

Pacers boss Daniel Granger accepted the defeat calmly: "Our firepower was suppressed from beginning to end. The Suns were the better team tonight, that's it."

Granger's tone was very calm. The Suns were the defending champion last season, and losing to them was not something difficult to accept.

At the Suns press conference, Nash said when talking about Chen Yan's three-point selection: "This is Chen Yan's shot rhythm. He is used to long-range three-pointers and difficult three-pointers after dribbling. I am also used to appreciating his three-pointers."

This kind of performance, the only thing I worry about now is that he will teach those children bad. As far as I know, there are some children in Canadian campuses who have just started shooting three-pointers from long distances."

Chen Yan, who was on the side, smiled after listening and said: "Steve is right. Through this opportunity, I would like to say something to all the children who like my playing style. Practice your basic skills and your dribbling well.

Passing, layups, running and defense, there is an old Chinese saying that you must first learn to walk before you learn to run. Only by practicing the basic skills can you do whatever you want in the game."

Chen Yan also does not want more and more children to blindly imitate his super long three-pointer. His goal is to influence a generation of children rather than mislead a generation of children.

After the press conference, Sunset immediately rushed to the next destination—Chicago.

After this game, the Suns only have one day to rest, and their next opponent is the youth Bulls.

On the plane, Jordan looked a little tired. Chen Yan walked up to Jordan and patted him on the back:

"Hey! Rookie, how does it feel in the NBA?"

Jordan shook his head: "It's more running than I thought. I want to die when I think about the back-to-back games."

"Hahaha! This is just the beginning, take the time to rest, big man, you will get used to it soon." Chen Yan encouraged.

The NBA schedule is much more intensive than the NCAA, and players who have just entered the league from college usually have to adapt for a while.

DeAndre Jordan's games are often good and bad. One of the important reasons for the big ups and downs is the schedule.

Because of his unstable condition, Jordan is often criticized by domestic fans.

There is now a large group of fans in China who specialize in studying Suns games. Fans even clearly remember the names and characteristics of Suns water cooler players and Development League players. This is the effect brought by Chen Yan.

Dribbling the ball next to Chen Yan will give him more exposure, but he will also face greater pressure.
