·
Zhuan Zhu
On May 5, the first game between the Suns and the Mavericks started at the American West Arena.
In an interview before the game, D'Antoni said: "The Mavericks are a traditional strong team. No team can say that they can win against them. This round of the series must be very intense. This is a severe test for the Suns."
On the other side, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle also showed weakness: "No team wants to meet the Suns. They have excellent players in every position. They just swept the opponent 4-0. All you can do is try your best and leave the rest to fate.”
The head coaches of the two teams are very humble. This is a kind of psychological warfare, in order to make the opponent underestimate the enemy. The details of the series are very important. A little detail may affect the victory of a game, and a game may affect the entire series. trend.
Not only the two coaches, but the players on both sides are also humble.
Nash said: "The Mavericks have a wealth of experience in the playoffs. They have Dirk, Kidd, Ray Allen, Artest, and a super sixth man like Terry on the bench. In the run-in lineup, the playoffs are their stage, and dealing with such a team can never be taken lightly."
Chen Yan said: "We have to speed up and speed up. The premise of playing fast is to ensure the hit rate. We have no advantage in a positional battle against the Mavericks."
"The Suns are impeccable offensively. They have Steve, they have Chen, they have Amare, and they have a bunch of dynamic role players.
Nowitzki said.
Both sides are talking nonsense, and the atmosphere is so harmonious that it doesn't look like the playoffs.
There is only one exception.
"The Mavericks are the stronger team, we will win this round of the playoffs! Chen? I will switch to full defense mode, even if I don't score, I will lock him up. I like to play the most difficult position, and the opponent is the most difficult to defend. Whatever position the players play, I hope I can play that position too, this round of the series has suffered a lot, I said!"
Artest uttered nonsense in his pre-game interview.
Artest is a player who is not afraid of anything. Of course, this is only limited to him before he is defeated. He is a typical American musing mentality. If there is a strong man who conquers Artest with his strength, then Artest will not only respect him , and even turn on the dog-licking mode.
Suns vs. Mavericks is the focus of the second round of the playoffs. ESPN and CCTV5 broadcast the game live at the same time.
"Magician" Johnson said: "This is definitely the kind of sparks hitting the earth that fans like to watch. The Suns have three All-Star players, while the Mavericks have four. In addition to Nowitzki, Ray Allen, Kidd And Artest have both been All-Stars."
Jeff Van Gundy immediately answered: "This will be a wonderful matchup. You can tell just by looking at the rosters of the two teams. The key to the Suns' victory is whether they can play the familiar rhythm of running and bombing, and the Mavericks want to win. We can only drag the rhythm into positional warfare as much as possible."
"Magic" Johnson laughed: "With the lessons learned in 07, I believe the Mavericks have more experience against small-ball teams."
Van Gundy nodded: "Compared to 2007, the Mavericks' lineup has also been fully upgraded. One of the factors that contribute to their regular season record is that veteran players like Kidd and Ray Allen have reservations. For a strong enemy like the Suns, I believe the veterans will release all their energy."
CCTV5 Zhang Lili and Yu Jia are also doing pre-match analysis.
Yu Jia said: "There is not much difference in hard power between the two sides. The main difference is the difference in tactics and style of play. Both sides also have superstars. It just depends on which team finds the game state first."
Zhang Lili's attention is all on Chen Yan, he said with a smile: "Chen Yan is chatting with Stoudemire on the sidelines, hey! The two brothers are talking and laughing, and they seem very relaxed. It seems that Mavericks didn't give up They cause too much pressure."
Chen Yan is not without pressure, he is just doing psychological counseling with Stoudemire to relax. Stoudemire's performance in the Jazz series was a disaster, and he will inevitably bear more pressure against the Mavericks with a stronger lineup.
Especially since the Mavericks have superstar Dirk Nowitzki at the same position, Stoudemire will inevitably compete with him in the game, and Chen Yan must remind him to calm down before the game.
Although Stoudemire is Chen Yan's senior, he respects Chen Yan very much. A player who plays with strength deserves everyone's respect.
After the appearance ceremony, the starters of both sides stayed on the court.
Dallas Mavericks starters: Jason Kidd, Ray Allen, Artest, Antawn White, Nowitzki
The Mavericks learned the lesson of being hacked eight, removed the traditional center and put Nuo Tianwang at the fifth position.
This lineup is enough to guarantee the Mavericks' defense. Although Kidd and Ray Allen are getting older, their running speed in a straight line is not slow. Usually, the lateral movement speed is the most influential for older players.
Phoenix Suns starters: Nash, Chen Yan, Grant Hill, Diaw, Stoudemire.
Stoudemire and Nuo Tianwang stood in the middle circle to jump the ball. The body-based movements clearly had the upper hand. He helped the Suns gain the right to attack.
But 15 seconds later, he cost him another missed shot.
The Mavericks attacked, and Kidd was not in a hurry to advance. After dribbling to the wing, he handed the ball to Artest.
Grant Hill is responsible for man-marking Artest. Compared with Raja Bell, the old Hill is taller and stronger, which is why D'Antoni arranged him in the starting lineup for this game.
Artest gave the ball to Nowitzki on the weak side after three threats.
Nuo Tianwang Shen Qiu dug in situ, Nash decisively let go of Kidd and caught him.
Nuo Tianwang received the ball and jumped out of the double-teaming of Xiao Si and Nash very flexibly.
Nowitzki himself plays outside, and this kind of operation is not difficult for him.
After receiving the ball and hitting the ground, Nuo Tianwang threw the ball out with a small toss without waiting for his body to balance.
"Bang!"
The sound of iron striking sounded, and all members of the Sun immediately made a fast break.
Nash made a long pass to find Grant Hill on the flank of the three-point line. Chen Yan pulled the defense in the middle, and Hill resolutely stopped the basket after receiving the ball!
Under the interference of Ray Allen and Antoine Whitening who returned to the defense, Grant Hill missed a layup.
Chen Yanchong failed to grab the rebound, the ball bounced out of Chen Yan's control, and he pulled the ball out of the baseline.
Both sides' first attacks ended in failure.
Kidd served from the baseline to Ray Allen, and Ray Allen immediately returned to Kidd.
Kidd slowly took control of the ball across the half, and both sides started at their own pace.
Antoine Huaiting stood outside the three-point line at the top of the arc to support, and after receiving the ball, he crossed to find Artest.
Novus Baseline Ray Allen screened, the latter used the screen to run out of the three-point line, Chen Yan quickly bypassed the defense to keep up, Ray Allen's ability to catch the ball is very strong, according to statistics, the time from receiving the ball to shooting It's 0.4 seconds, and the time it takes for a human to blink is 0.3 seconds. Ray Allen's shots can be said to be fast, precise and ruthless, and no one can let him go.
Seeing that the defense was coming up, Ray Allen didn't take a shot immediately. After a tentative step, he suddenly dropped the ball and went to the right, and then made a sudden stop to shoot a jumper.
Chen Yan interfered, and the ball still bounced out of the frame.
The fans in the auditorium cheered for a while. The Mavericks didn't seem to feel good at the beginning.
Diaw grabs the rebound and gives it to Nash.
Nash advanced with the ball from the center line, and the Mavericks quickly returned to the defensive position. Nash moved to the left three-pointer at a 45-degree angle and looked for Chen Yan, leaving him the position at the top of the arc.
Artest posted it. This is the first time the two have faced off in this game.
Chen Yan crossed his crotch left and right and moved forward. Artest didn't dare to stick too tightly, and kept watching Chen Yan's footsteps while stepping back.
"boom!"
At the top of the arc, Chen Yan suddenly hit the ball vigorously!
The bombing ball retreats horizontally!
This action was very sudden, and most defensive players would not be able to react, but Artest was obviously highly focused, and at the moment Chen Yan received the ball, his footsteps also poked out!
At the same time as Chen Yan raised his hand, Artest jumped up without hesitation.
The moment Artest's feet left the ground, Chen Yan slowly put the ball down.
Only after seeing this move did Artest realize that he had been fooled. He really wanted to lock Chen Yan up and realize the harsh words he had spoken before the game.
Just as Artest was falling, Chen Yan raised the ball again and slammed into Artest's body while shooting.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded instantly!
Foul?
No.
As the basketball entered the basket and the moment the Nets bloomed, the fans cheered in unison.
2+1!
Artest said before the game that he would make Chen Yan suffer, but he was defeated in the first round of defending him.
