At the post-match press conference, Chinese men's basketball coach Yunus highly praised Chen Yan.
"Chen's performance tonight was almost perfect, fast break, shooting, breakthrough, steal, almost omnipotent! He has a strong scoring explosiveness, and can lead the team forward, I think every coach would like to have a lineup Such a player."
In addition, Yunus also said that he will pay close attention to Chen Yan's performance in the NBA, hoping that he will perform well while maintaining good health.
Regarding Jonas' speech at the press conference, domestic fans ridiculed one after another in a basketball forum.
"Younas almost wrote "I want Chen Yan" on his face!"
"It's the first time I've seen the stern Jonas praise a Chinese player like this!"
"Hahaha, I can tell that Old You really likes Chen Yan!"
"Look at Chen Yan's performance tonight, and look at the guards of the Chinese men's basketball team. There is no harm without comparison..."
"Did anyone notice that Jonas showed a sweet smile after losing tonight? Most likely he is already fantasizing about having Dayao and Chen Yan at the same time!"
"Don't say anything, call Chen Yan into the national team as soon as possible!"
"Chen Yan must be very handsome in the red jersey of the Chinese men's basketball team. He is very suitable for wearing red. I still can't forget his red suit in the draft..."
After three preliminaries, the summer league has also entered the knockout stage.
The format of the knockout round is a single-elimination system, and the No. 1-24 seeded teams are ranked according to the points.
Seeds 9-24 will play in the first round, and seeds 1-8 will directly enter the second round.
The winning team in the first round enters the second round against the No. 1-8 seeds, and the losers will compete for the No. 17-24 ranking.
The Suns had won all three previous games and were one of only four undefeated teams in the Las Vegas Summer League, so they had a bye in the first round.
It doesn't matter to Chen Yan if he plays one less game, but it is not good news for these players in the Sun Summer League.
After all, they are here to find a job and need more shows to show themselves.
Fast-forward to three days later, the second round of the Summer League playoffs.
The opponent of the Phoenix Suns tonight is the Golden State Warriors.
Although Chen Yan appeared in the team's starting lineup, his playing time was still about the same as in the previous games.
Even if the Suns lose, Chen Yan will not extend his playing time. This is D'Antoni's death order, out of a kind of protection for Chen Yan.
In this game, at the beginning of the game, Chen Yan asked for the ball in singles, and entered the scoring mode as soon as he came up!
Chen Yan felt that now that he had entered the knockout stage, he should respect his opponent a little bit.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yan overestimated the intensity of the summer league...
This effort directly took away the game.
At halftime, the Suns led the Warriors by 54 points 36 to 18.
陈炎19投16中，其中三分球5中4，罚球4中3，狂砍39分！
With the blessing of the skill [Perfect Hand Shape], both the two-pointer and the three-pointer's hit rate have been improved to a certain extent. Chen Yan's shooting ability is far beyond those shown in his personal attributes.
At the beginning of the second half, Chen Yan scored 8 points in a row. The defensive ability of the summer league players was generally not online. In addition, they all blindly pursued offensive statistics and did not put too much energy into the defensive end. A defense that is too good is even more pulpy.
In such an environment, Chen Yan can no longer be described as scoring like drinking water, it is simply like breathing!
After an 8-2 spurt, the Warriors assistant coach called a timeout.
After the timeout, Chen Yan clocked out of get off work and entered the movie viewing mode in advance.
In the end, the Suns won the knockout game 91-78.
Chen Yan scored 20 points in 47 minutes of playing time!
Even the on-site commentators couldn't help but call him the summer league devil!
To be honest, Chen Yan doesn't like this title. He has a sense of sight that he can't play in the NBA and come to the summer league to bully fringe players...
After the game, Chen Yan walked quickly to the Warriors' bench, and his summer league recruitment plan continued.
This time his target was Kelanna Azubuike.
This buddy showed a very comprehensive ability, with three-pointers, breakthroughs, air cuts, and fierce defense!
Chen Yan doesn't even know how such a player failed in 06...
In his previous life, Chen Yan remembered that he played like a fish in water under the old Nelson's running and bombing system, averaging about 14 points per game. Such a player is definitely suitable for the Suns' offensive system, without even thinking about it.
Many fans may be unfamiliar with the name Azubuike because his career was very short.
The reasons for his short career are pretty outrageous.
In the game against the Bucks on November 2009, 11, Kelanna Azubuike was accidentally injured in a breakthrough.
After landing, Azubuike immediately hugged his left knee with a very painful expression.Judging from the media cameras on the sidelines, Azubuike's kneecap may have fallen off at the time.
A post-match diagnosis revealed that Azubuike tore the ligament in his left knee and required arthroscopic surgery.
After the surgery, Azubuike got a message.
The doctor installed his knee wrong!
It is simply a big spectrum from the world!
Hearing the news, Azubuike himself was shocked. How could this be done by a human?
None of the Blazers' veterinarians could do it!
So the NBA's first unlucky guy was born.
In the next few years, Azubuike has been recovering from surgery. In 2012, he returned to the NBA game again, but at this time Azubuike's state is long gone.
And so a rising star fell.
Kind of sad, kind of hilarious.
So today Chen Yan not only wants to recruit a potential outside line for the sun, but also wants to change the tragic fate of this new star!
Chen Yan believed that Taiyang's miracle doctor would never turn his knees upside down!
"Hey! We played a good game today!"
Chen Yan walked up to Azubuike.
The opening line that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, Chen Yan really can't think of another opening line to communicate with this kind of strange player...
"Oh! Dude, you almost made us cry tonight!"
Azubuke took the initiative to slap Chen Yan.
Chen Yan originally thought that Azubuike was a taciturn type, but he talked more than Chen Yan when he came up.
"Are you interested in coming to the Suns for trial training?"
It's the same as recruiting Barea. The best way for this kind of player who is eager to find a job is to get straight to the point.
"seriously?"
Azubuike was a little surprised. Like Barea before him, he didn't expect Chen Yan to recruit him.
"Of course, I'd love to!"
Dazed for a while, Azubuike nodded decisively.
For Azubuike, whether he goes to the Suns or the Warriors is the same for him, what he is after is only a guaranteed contract.
Very humble, but also very real.
This is also the truest portrayal of many players participating in the summer league.
......
......
That night, Chen Yan called D'Antoni again.
"Coach, I found another perimeter player in the summer league, who is very suitable for the team's style, can rush, shoot, defend, and..."
Before Chen Yan finished speaking, D'Antoni on the other end of the phone laughed: "Hahaha, Chen, are you going to play basketball or be a scout?"
Facing D'Antoni's ridicule, Chen Yan also laughed: "Hahahaha, coach, I just want to give my own advice."
"Okay, Chen, I will seriously consider it."
D'Antoni is not talking politely, he really thinks about it.
After sending away Marion and Babos, the Suns now have only 6 players who can really play, and no one is available on the bench.
The big fish in the free market can't be caught, and they don't have enough chips to trade reliable role players. Recruiting for the summer league is a good choice for them.
"Chen's performance tonight was almost perfect, fast break, shooting, breakthrough, steal, almost omnipotent! He has a strong scoring explosiveness, and can lead the team forward, I think every coach would like to have a lineup Such a player."
