Chapter 217 False Derby, Happy to mention 3 pairs!
·
Zhuan Zhu
On March 3, the Suns ushered in their third confrontation with the Rockets this season at home.
This fight has the name of 'Chinese Derby', but there is no 'Chinese Derby'.
Dayao underwent surgery at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston on March 3, US time, to repair a stress fracture in his left foot and remove a bone spur from his foot.
This also means that Dayao will miss all the remaining games of the Rockets this season.
However, domestic fans are more concerned about whether Dayao can catch up with the Beijing Olympics.
Regarding the concerns and questions of the fans, Dayao quickly made a statement through the media: "I know that my season is reimbursed, but what I told the team doctor is that I must guarantee my Olympic Games, and I also believe that I will eventually appear. On the court at the Beijing Olympics."
Hearing the news, domestic fans expressed their relief.
Chen Yan also sent a text message to Dayao before the game, telling him to take a good rest and wishing him a speedy recovery.
Dayao also quickly replied to Chen Yan's text message. He asked Chen Yan to be more gentle in the next game against the Rockets, and not to beat the Rockets teammates to death just because he was not there.
This is typical Yao style humor.
......
......
"Oh, we can see that D'Antoni put Chen Yan in the point guard position today!"
In the CCTV5 studio, Zhang Weiping said in surprise after seeing the starting lineups of both sides.
"This is indeed an unexpected position change. Putting Chen Yan on the point guard is a double-edged sword. If it is used well, it can make up for Nash's vacancy to a certain extent. If it is not used well, it may weaken his original offensive ability. Let them look forward to what kind of performance Chen Yan will have tonight!" Yu Jia said from the side.
Amidst the chatter of the two commentators, the game started soon!
The two previous confrontations between the two sides ended in victory for the Suns, and one of them ended the Rockets' 12-game winning streak.
All the members of the Rockets came here with a mentality of revenge, but they never expected to be hit by the sun as soon as they came up!
The Suns entered the rhythm very quickly. As soon as they came up, they beat the Rockets 11 to 2, directly stopping the game.
I thought the Rockets could keep up with the Suns in Dayao's absence, but I didn't expect Adelman to send the 42-year-old veteran Uncle Mu!
Although Lian Po is old, Mutombo's ability to protect the frame is still excellent, but Chen Yan said that he would never give Uncle Mu the chance to protect the frame.
As soon as it came to the positional battle, Chen Yan used the pick-and-roll to pull Uncle Mu out 1v1, and used his speed to bully his old cold legs.
After several rounds, Adelman had no choice but to replace Uncle Mu in advance.
When Uncle Mu stepped off the field, the Rockets lost their only height inside.
How can Scola at 206cm, Landry at 201cm and Hayes at 198cm stop Stoudemire?
Chen Yan started to connect frequently with Stoudemire, frantically attacking the Rockets' restricted area!
With 1 minute and 29 seconds left in the first quarter, Chen Yan swung Battier away after worshiping Buddha and strode into the paint.
The nearby defensive players almost subconsciously all rushed towards Chen Yan!
At this moment, Chen Yan held the ball with one hand and threw it high into the air!
Stoudemire, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped up, and after catching the ball in the air, he completed the overlord lifting!
Amid the ebullient noises in the audience, Stoudemire pointed to Chen Yan. Nash and Chen Yan gave him the most comfortable match.
In this quarter, Chen Yan sent 4 assists to help the Suns lead the Rockets 29-20.
D'Antoni on the sidelines nodded repeatedly, and it was not difficult to see from his body language that he was very satisfied with Chen Yan's performance.
In fact, before the start of the game, D'Antoni was also very worried. After all, Chen Yan was playing point guard for the first time, and he didn't know what the effect would be.
But just after a quarter of the game, D'Antoni's hanging heart was relieved.
In the second quarter, the Suns took advantage of the victory to further widen the point difference.
Chen Yan saw that the players' momentum and speed had risen, so he decisively launched the team skill [Lightning Storm]!
In these few minutes, Chen Yan not only brought up the team's running and bombing rhythm, but also frequently staged a good show of grabbing the board in the backcourt and making fast breaks!
Landry, a first-year rookie of the Rockets, couldn't understand Chen Yan's arrogance and wanton attacking his own basket. When Chen Yan grabbed a rebound and drove into the Rockets penalty area with full power, he chose to stand in front of him.
Facing Landry, Chen Yan said that there is no need to be fancy, just pull up the buckle and it's over!
Landry's bounce and speed are good, but they are not good enough in front of Chen Yan.
"BOOM!!!"
A face-to-face buckle!
Chen Yan directly stunned Landry, who was stupefied!
In the next two rounds, he would not play, made frequent mistakes, and missed people on the defensive end. Adelman angrily replaced him directly.
The Suns established a 20-point lead in three quarters and maintained it until the end.
In the end, the Rockets lost the game 86 to 109, and revenge failed.
Chen Yan likes to mention a triple-double in this game, scoring 23 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds!
Stoudemire was fed by Chen Yan tonight, scoring 33 points and 9 rebounds.
McGrady scored a team-high 30 points for the Rockets, but his efficiency was impressive. He only hit 31 goals in 11 shots, and his shooting percentage was only a poor 35.5%.
But this can't be all blamed on McGrady. Although he doesn't feel good tonight, he has to keep shooting. The absence of Dayao means that he will help the team consume more shooting rights in the game.
After the game, Rockets Battier, who was in charge of defending Chen Yan, said in an interview: "Who told me that Nash was injured? Nash was clearly on the court, but he changed to No. 0 jersey!"
The reporters all laughed after hearing Battier's words. Honest people sometimes have a sense of humor.
