·
Zhuan Zhu
A day later, the Phoenix Suns lost away to the Golden State Warriors in back-to-back games, and the winning streak was finally fixed at 24 games.
In the NBA arena, no one can win all the time, but the fans actually fell at the feet of the Warriors.
You must know that the Warriors' record this season is very struggling, and they have been ranked last in the West.
The Warriors fans at Oracle Stadium celebrated with dancing and dancing like the New Year.
The last time this kind of scene appeared was the Black Eight Miracle in 2007.
The Warriors just pull up the speed, and the running and bombing that the Suns are most familiar with is also their best routine.
On the offensive end, several outside players of the Warriors took turns to defend, and quickly retreated if they didn't advance.
"The Suns and the Warriors are attacking without defense. Both sides are playing a typical 7-second run and bomb. They throw it as soon as halftime passes, regardless of whether there is an opportunity. This makes the fans very enjoyable." Zhang Lili said.
"This style of play is all about speed and hit rate." Director Xu said.
The Suns and any team in the league can gain the upper hand in this kind of running and shooting, but the Warriors can't, no, the Warriors are too strong, but their team has too many nerve knives, Crawford, Stephen Jackson , Maggette, and Monta Ellis, who was reimbursed for the season, are all players of this type.
Moreover, the head coach Nelson will not restrain them tactically, which can further stimulate the potential of these nerve knives.
Crawford + Stephen Jackson + Maggette teamed up to score 10 three-pointers in the first half. In the second half, these three guys got worse. They used unreasonable shots to penetrate the Suns' Nets again and again, igniting the passion of the fans. The more the home fans watched, the more excited they were, feeling like they were dreaming back to 2007.
Chen Yan could finally understand Nuo Tianwang's despair at that time. This home court was too crazy, from the players to the fans.
The outbreak of the Warriors trio drove the team's touch. Al Harrington, CJ Watson, and Morrow all hit three-pointers one after another.
Others have at most one convulsion player in a team, but they are fine, all members are convulsions,
Just beating indiscriminately and advancing indiscriminately, Sun was confused.
Miraculously, that's how they killed the Mavericks back then.
The Warriors averaged 9.1 three-pointers per game this season, and they made a full 21 three-pointers in this game!
Both the Bulls with 72 wins and the Warriors with 73 wins in the previous life lost to the bottom team in the regular season.
陈炎这场比赛拿到33分7助攻5篮板，小斯21分9篮板，阿祖布克17分4篮板，诺瓦克三分5中4拿到12分，纳什10分14助攻。
The Warriors 'captain' Jackson scored a game-high 36 points, Crawford scored 30 points and Maggette scored 21 points.
The Warriors fans applauded in the stands for a long time and refused to leave. The players clapped each other in the middle of the court. In recent years, it is basically impossible for the Warriors lineup to win any honor. Ending the Suns’ 24-game winning streak will become their talking point for a long time .
The Suns players could only helplessly put their hands on their lips, or simply put them on their knees. The locker room was terribly quiet, and all the pride after the 24-game winning streak seemed to be at this moment. Was pumped clean.
Fortunately, the Suns players had a good mentality, and they regained their vitality after a while.
Raja Bell said in an interview: "There are always wins and losses in a season. The end of the winning streak does not mean it is a bad thing. At least we can unload the burden in our hearts and don't have to think about how to continue every morning. Winning streak."
Azubuike said: "We played very well in this game and maintained our own level, but the opponent played better. They kept shooting like crazy and kept scoring goals."
Nash slowly said after the game: "The feeling of being defeated is much better than ruining a good game by yourself, or losing because you didn't behave like you could play at all."
Chen Yan was also asked similar questions by reporters in the locker room.
"Chen, what does the end of the winning streak mean for the Suns?"
Chen Yan expressed his opinion with a smile: "What does it mean? It means that another winning streak is about to begin."
In the evening, Dayao and Chen Yan made a phone call: "Be content, we have won 24 games in a row, and we haven't won 24 games in total this season!"
Dayao's words are not exaggerating. The Rockets currently have a record of 23 wins and 15 losses, and indeed they have not won 24 games.
Chen Yan smiled: "Dayao, don't comfort me, I can figure it out myself, winning streak is a kind of pressure for the team, sometimes losing is not necessarily a bad thing."
"It's good if you can think like this. In basketball games, there are winners and losers," Dayao said.
Chen Yan asked: "What do you think is our biggest problem right now?"
"From my point of view, it's still a problem of rebounding. You can speed up and run and shoot, but you can't let your opponent grab too many rebounds. Losing too many rebounds means losing control of the situation."
Dayao didn't say it very bluntly, he and Chen Yan have a very good relationship, so there is no need to be too polite.
Chen Yan agreed with Dayao's words. Rebounding is an old problem for the Suns. They have been winning before, so these problems have been covered up.
"How do you think we can solve this problem?" Chen Yan asked.
"Trade me over, hahaha!"
Chen Yan also laughed. He knew that Dayao was joking. If he really wanted to leave the Rockets, he would have left a year ago. The Lakers offered an olive branch to Dayao a year ago. Dayao resisted and joined forces with Kobe. The temptation of Los Angeles is now even less likely to switch to other teams, and the Suns' offensive and defensive system is indeed not suitable for a big man like him.
It is impossible for the Suns to sign up again. Now is the era when centers are scarce. Even blue-collars are expensive. Dampier of the Mavericks who averages 5 points and 7 rebounds per game can earn tens of millions of annual salary. It is almost impossible for the boss to reinforce the inside line.
In the existing cards, Jordan has the potential to become a top blue-collar player, but it takes time for him to grow up. In his rookie season, he has not been able to take on the important role in the championship team. After thinking about it, Chen Yan still thinks he has to do it himself.
Chen Yan remembered Westbrook's routine in his previous life, letting his teammates get stuck and rushing to grab rebounds by himself. This will not only protect (shua) the defensive rebounds, but also hold the ball and advance to the fast break immediately.
Chen Yan's jumping and explosiveness are no worse than Westbrook's, and he also has the bonus of [rebound sense of smell]. Chen Yan feels that he is fully capable of this task.
During this period of time, Chen Yan's account has accumulated another 150 honor points, plus the remaining 69 points before, a total of 219 points.
Chen Yan first exchanged 40 honor points for four attribute points in the [85]-[90] range, and raised his [rebound] ability to 90 in one go.
Then Chen Yan spent another 120 honor points to increase [Layup] and [Breakthrough] to 95 points, so that Chen Yan's lethality of attacking the inside was further improved.
As usual, save some honor points to prevent injuries.
During the training on the second day, Chen Yan told Mustache about his idea. D'Antoni thought he could give it a try. He always felt that Chen Yan's sense of rebounding was very sensitive. With Chen Yan's ability to win the rebound, he could advance through the half court immediately. , then the sun's counterattack will be even more threatening than it is now.
The next opponent of the sun is the Celtics. After the game with the Warriors, the whole team flew to Boston to prepare for the away game.
After learning that the Suns were defeated, Durant was upset all day. He wanted to end the Suns' winning streak, but the Warriors took the limelight.
Durant is an emotional player. All his emotions are written on his face. During the team training, he has a bad face all the time, which makes his teammates very speechless. Didn't he provoke him?
After landing in Boston, Chen Yan and Durant made an appointment for a meal.
Since the two brothers entered the NBA, the number of times they met has become less and less. After the two chatted a few words about college life, the conversation immediately turned back to the NBA.
"Kd, the Celtics are currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference, and they are guaranteed to enter the playoffs this year." Chen Yan said.
The corner of Durant's mouth rose slightly, showing a wicked smile: "Sorry, my goal is not just the playoffs."
"What is that?" Chen Yan asked knowingly.
"Of course it's the championship!" Durant shouted directly. Fortunately, they are in the box now, otherwise the surrounding fans would gather around to sign.
"Kd, let me tell you a way to win the championship quickly." Chen Yan said.
"What method?" Du Xiaoshuai's eyes lit up, very interested.
"It would be nice to join the sun, hahaha!" Chen Yan laughed.
Durant and Chen Yan had different smiles, and he said with a serious face: "I'm sorry, I will win the championship trophy with the Celtics teammate, I have never liked to take shortcuts. "
Chen Yan didn't know what to say for a while after listening.
It can only be said that Durant during this period was still a passionate young man with strong bones.
In the NBA arena, no one can win all the time, but the fans actually fell at the feet of the Warriors.
You must know that the Warriors' record this season is very struggling, and they have been ranked last in the West.
