Chapter 63 Adapting to the rhythm of the NBA in the first game
·
Zhuan Zhu
Toronto Raptors offensive round.
Pierska asked for the ball in a good position, and chose singles again after receiving the ball.
Chen Yan's provocative actions and that half-smiley expression made Pierce really like it.
Facing Raja Bell's defense, Pierce wobbled a mid-range shot from the top of the arc.
"Bang!"
Raja Bell defended well this round, reaching out to interfere with Pierce's shooting rhythm.
Raja Bell is the core of the Suns' perimeter defense. Although he is not physically strong, he dares to fight.
After Pierce hit the iron, Raptors coach Sam Mitchell looked a little bad on the sidelines.
Pierce's opening singles accounted for too much, and the success rate was not high, which disrupted the team's offensive rhythm.
On the court, the sun's counterattack came again!
Nash quickly advanced towards the frontcourt, turned his head to the left, and sent his hands to the right. A one-handed pass directly found Chen Yan!
NO-LOOK-PASS!
The ball seemed random, but Nash had already observed Chen Yan's running position!
Chen Yan made a three-pointer without any hesitation!
"Bang!"
The ball was a little weaker, and it hit the front of the basket and popped out.
"Good shot! Beautiful shot! Just be so decisive!"
Suns coach D'Antoni applauded desperately from the sidelines to encourage Chen Yan.
This kind of shooting choice has turned into the head coaches of other teams. It is estimated that some coaches will directly replace Chen Yan at the next dead ball, because in the eyes of most coaches, this kind of shot is unreasonable, especially for For a rookie.
Fast break is to hit the basket, so as to ensure the hit rate.
But D'Antoni is different. When he was on the training ground, he kept emphasizing that no matter whether it was two points or three points, as long as there was an opportunity, he would shoot boldly.
This is the offensive concept of Mustache!
At this moment, Chen Yan suddenly felt that he was so happy to play in a team like the Suns...
Anthony Carter protected the backboard and handed it to Calderon. Raptors coach Sam Mitchell signaled Calderon to stabilize the rhythm and play positional warfare.
Fighting against a team like the Suns can't fall into their run-and-gun rhythm, otherwise it will be dangerous.
If the two sides open their posture and fight against each other, then the Suns are likely to open the score with a wave of offensive.
Calderon and Bosh hit a pick-and-roll and passed the ball to Pierce in the corner.
However, Pierce did not choose to shoot himself this round, but quickly transferred to Bargnani at the top of the arc.
After all, the Raptors are not the Celtics, and this is not Pierce's team. He is afraid that his teammates will have opinions if he continues to play solo.
Bargnani made a feint and strode inwards, making a successful throw in the restricted area.
Although Bargnani is 211cm tall, he is completely an outside player with technical characteristics. He is strong in offense and weak in defense, and he especially likes to shoot three-pointers.
If he was born 10 years later, this guy has a chance to be an All-Star, but in this era, insiders like him are generally called soft guys and are not liked by fans.
Bargnani scored the goal very easily, and the sun's inside line was almost undefended.
It's not because of his strong ability, but because of the Sun's tactics.
Sometimes in order to speed up the pace of the game, the Suns will deliberately put the opponent inside and then quickly serve and counterattack with all members.
D'Antoni believes that offense is the best defense. As long as their offensive efficiency is higher than that of their opponents, they will definitely win the game.
Phoenix has completely subverted all traditional basketball concepts. Their tactics are non-stop running and non-stop fast breaks.
The offensive speed is too fast, and the number of rounds increases, so the points lost will naturally be high. In fact, the Suns' defense is far from as bad as the fans think.
Bargnani just scored with his front foot, and the sun's baseline ball has almost reached Nash's hands!
Nash takes the lead in the charge!
Chen Yan and Xiao Si were on his left and right sides respectively.
The sun's most classic V-shaped fast break!
Only Anthony Carter and Calderon are in place on the Raptors' side.
3 vs 2 in the game!
Chen Yan suddenly speeded up, and Nash stared at his running route, as if he was about to pass the ball in the next second!
Chen Yan's scalpel-like movement and Nash's deceptive eyes, the two worked together to fool Anthony Carter and Calderon.
In the next second, Nash passed the ball behind the back with ease and passed the ball to Stoudemire, who was unmarked on the other side.
The classic scene appeared!
Nash threaded the needle, and the little bully smashed Huashan!
In his previous life, Chen Yan often saw such scenes in Wujiaqiu, and now he is also involved in such an attack. This feeling is very strange.
After raging at the rim, Stoudemire did not forget to high-five his two teammates in turn.
Chen Yan's running position and Nash's pass made this round of fast break easier.
Raptors offensive round.
This time Calderon used Bargnani's screen to kill a 45-degree angle to the left free throw line and hit a mid-range shot.
Bargnani's three-point shooting rate is as high as 40.3% this season. This kind of high fortress can easily create breakthrough space for teammates when pulled outside after the pick-and-roll.
The sun continued to make rapid progress from the bottom line.
Regardless of whether the opponent has scored into the Suns, the purpose is that the offense cannot be stopped for 7 seconds.
Chen Yan didn't rush to the first place in this round. Sprinting back and forth for a short distance consumes a lot of energy, and it is too much for him to do this every round.
And sometimes you don't have the opportunity to attack if you rush to the front.
This time the Raptors retreated in a timely manner. After dribbling to the frontcourt, Nash did not rush out of the ball. Instead, he caught the ball with a back dribble and threw the ball behind him.
Nash passed the ball to Chen Yan with an extremely concealed movement, and the two successfully connected!
Before the defender could react, Chen Yan had already made a three-pointer!
The previous open three-pointer in the transition from offense to defense should not have been missed. Chen Yan will not let go of such an open opportunity.
"Shh!"
A three-point arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other!
"Good shot~ Chen Yan finally hit the three-pointer!"
"The shot was very decisive! This is also Chen Yan's first three-pointer in this game!"
The two commentators of CCTV5 were also very excited.
Fast breaks, singles, mid-range shots, and three-pointers, Chen Yan showed his very comprehensive offensive methods in less than 4 minutes!
......
......
At 7 minutes and 11 seconds into the first quarter, taking advantage of the dead ball on the field, D'Antoni replaced Chen Yan with Grant Hill.
"Chen, you played very well! Go to the bench and take a rest, I will let you play again soon."
"Thank you coach!"
When Chen Yan returned to the bench, D'Antoni specially gave him a big hug.
Chen Yan scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals in the first quarter so far, which is a perfect stat for a rookie!
D'Antoni was satisfied with his opening performance, and the rest was a surprise!
Usually rookies will be a little nervous when they make their first show. It is normal for them to forget tactics, run around, and make some weird moves in a daze.
But none of these appeared on Chen Yan.
Not only is Chen Yan very clear on the offensive end, he can use his own characteristics to score continuously, and he can even use his running position to create offensive space for his teammates!
D'Antoni's original plan was to use the first ten or twenty games of the regular season to help Chen Yan adapt to the NBA, allowing him to find the rhythm of the game and build confidence.
After he adapts to the NBA, he will gradually increase the requirements for Chen Yan.
However, D'Antoni feels that this plan may be ruined directly.
Because it seems that Chen Yan has adapted to the speed and rhythm of the NBA in the first game...
Pierska asked for the ball in a good position, and chose singles again after receiving the ball.
