The rise of basketball legends

After the press conference, Chen Yan followed the team to the airport non-stop.

The NBA schedule is so tight, especially road trips.

Fortunately, the flying environment is quite comfortable. The Suns' special plane is a remodeled Boeing 757. After the cabin of 160 passengers is modified, only about 40 seats are left, and the overall space is very spacious.

The entire cabin is divided into three parts, and the most forward cabin has only 15 seats and is designed for players.

The cabin in the middle has 12 seats, divided into 6 rows, and there is a square table in the middle for the coach to hold a meeting.

The rearmost cabin has 7 rows of seats and belongs to the staff.

In addition, the entrances and exits of the cabin, toilets, etc. have also been modified according to the height and size of the players.

In the player's cabin, the Suns players were talking and laughing, and they seemed to be full of energy.

Dealing with the Clippers tonight didn't take them too far.

Chen Yan took the initiative to suggest that everyone play cards together.

After all, his cards are the strongest in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

After playing a few rounds of Texas Hold'em and bridge, Chen Yan had a whim and tried to give them the Chinese-style card game Doudizhu.

At first, the teammates resisted in their hearts, until they were shocked by Chen Yan's momentum of 3 belts, 1 two combos, 10JQKA Shunzi, and then Wang Zha, and immediately became very interested in Doudizhu.

Chen Yan did not forget to bring Barea and Azubuike with him. Off-court entertainment can also help them better integrate into the team.

Barea's performance in recent games has gradually improved, scoring in double figures in a row.

But Azubuike's ups and downs are still a little big, he is a bit introverted, he can't let go on the court, and he doesn't dare to express his thoughts off the court.

Chen Yan encourages him in almost every game. Self-confidence is very important for a player, and he knows that Azubuike's potential is far more than that.

Half an hour later, the teammates basically figured out the rules of Doudizhu, so Chen Yan asked them to play in groups, while he hid aside and sent a message to Taylor, otherwise his current level of Doudizhu would make his teammates have no game experience .

There is WiFi on the sun plane, which allows Internet access.

Chen Yan and Taylor Swift chatted about their recent scandals naturally.

Taylor Swift joked that things were so uproarious, it would be difficult for them to end if they were not in love.

The two chatted ambiguously like this, and the window paper was never pierced.

Chen Yan was not affected by the gossip outside the court, he knew that the court was his focus.

The Suns' next opponent, the Seattle SuperSonics, is also the last opponent of this road trip.

The Seattle SuperSonics sent away Rashard Lewis last season and Ray Allen this season, completely announcing the era of reconstruction.

Now the team is focusing on cultivating Horford and Devin Harris.

Both of them have the potential of All-Star players, but it may take a few years to realize their talents.

Horford, like Chen Yan, is a freshman. The two have played against each other in college, and they are no strangers to each other.

Horford belongs to the stable and steady inside line. He has good skills and the ability to attack independently, but his physical fitness is average. The upper limit of such a player is not high but the lower limit is guaranteed.

Devin Harris came to the Sonics as a bargaining chip for the Mavericks to trade Ray Allen this summer.

He is 191cm tall and weighs 84kg. He is very entertaining to play, fast and flexible. He has a sharp breakthrough but unstable shooting and lack of three-pointers are flaws.

So far in the new season, Devin Harris has averaged 20.3 points and 5.1 assists per game, which is directly doubled from last season, and he has the inside flavor of an All-Star point guard.

The Sonics also regard him as a future outside core to train, and Devin Harris is also very happy playing in Seattle. After all, no one doesn't like the feeling of having unlimited firepower.

......

......

After arriving in Seattle for a day of rest, the duel between the two sides started!

Tonight, the attendance rate of the Supersonics home key arena is only about 50%, which is already the highest attendance rate since the start of the game. Under normal circumstances, the attendance rate of Supersonic games is only [-]% or even lower.

No wonder the boss has been clamoring to move to Oklahoma. The ball market is so bad that moving based on commercial significance is the way to survive.

The Seattle SuperSonics are currently 1th in the Western Conference with 6 win and 13 losses.

The seven-game winning streak and weak opponents made the sun a little relaxed in mentality, and even some players have already figured out which nightclub to go to after get off work.

Facts have proved that too much relaxation is not a good thing for players.

After the first quarter, the Suns trailed by 19 points 28-9.

The Suns were too slow to start the game, and Stoudemire scored the first goal in 2 minutes and 55 seconds. This is obviously not the regular rhythm of the Suns.

On the other hand, for the Sonics, the young players are very aggressive, and they seize the opportunity to fight back. They look more like the Suns than the Suns.

In the second quarter, the state of the sun improved slightly, but the overall hit rate was still low.

Especially outside the three-point line, the Suns only made 12 of 3 shots in the half, and sometimes poor hand feeling is really contagious...

Halftime score, Seattle Supersonics 56:49 Phoenix Suns.

During the intermission, the Supersonics fans showed joy. If the team can win the Suns, which is currently ranked first in the Western Conference, it will undoubtedly be a surprise for the fans.

In the visiting team's locker room, Suns coach D'Antoni looked very bad.

The reason why D'Antoni was unhappy was not because the team was behind. The 7-point difference was nothing to the Suns, and they came back after a wave of running and bombing.

He was angry because the Suns played so casually in the first half.

D'Antoni also understands that in 82 games a season, it is impossible for the players to focus 100% in every game. He did not over-responsible to the players. This is not his coaching style.

Mustache just hoped that the players would cheer up in the second half, put aside distracting thoughts, and return to Phoenix with victory!

As soon as the third quarter came up, Chen Yan broke into the inside twice in a row and caused a foul and a 2+1, which instantly opened up the situation for the Suns!

In the first half, Chen Yan mainly played off the ball. Whether it was the mid-range or three-point shooting rate after receiving the ball, he was not ideal, so he decisively changed his style of play in the second half.

Increase ball holding, increase air cuts, and increase physical confrontation in fast breaks!

Since entering the NBA, Chen Yan has not only enhanced his personal attributes, but also his game experience.

He began to slowly learn to deal with offense in a more reasonable way.

Under the leadership of Chen Yan, the Suns played an 11-3 offensive climax in the third quarter, directly stopping the Supersonics!

Pause back, the sun's fast whirlwind is out of control!

Nash continued to thread the needle, and Stoudemire, Hill and Chen Yan succeeded in dunking one after another.

The inside line was opened, and the Sun's outside line began to slowly improve.

Chen Yan and his teammates clapped hands continuously, and the familiar rhythm returned!

第三节进行到4分07秒，场上比分74比63，太阳已经将分差反超了11分！

The Sonics were completely stunned, and the collapse on the defensive end seriously affected their offensive performance. In nearly 8 minutes, the Sonics only scored 7 points!

"Bang!"

Devin Harris made a three-pointer just after halftime without waiting for his teammates to respond.

This is the case with young players. When the situation on the court fluctuates, they often cannot stabilize their mentality, and they will make some unreasonable shots in order to chase points.

Chen Yan grabbed the rebound with one hand and advanced one-stop!

Devin Harris is close to him.

It's time for speed!

Devin Harris is very confident in his speed. His 10.39-meter speed reached 3.9 seconds, and the fastest record for dribbling across the court is [-] seconds.

But he can't take advantage of Chen Yan at all.

The reason is simple, the ball is in Chen Yan's hands, and he holds the absolute initiative.

Near the free-throw line, Chen Yan suddenly sprinted and sprinted around the ball with a signature fan!

This move is always invincible when Chen Yan is on the fast attack.

This time is no exception.

Devin Harris posted so hard that Chen Yan threw him off almost instantly.

Immediately afterwards, he stepped to the inside line and made an elegant and picturesque backhand dunk!

"BOOM!"

Devin Harris stared blankly behind Chen Yan as he completed the series of operations.

In terms of straight-line speed, Devin Harris did not lose to Chen Yan, but he did not expect Chen Yan to complete such a large change of direction at such a high speed, and complete such a large change of direction while dribbling without slowing down.

In the next offensive round of the Sonics, under the double-teaming of Chen Yan and Nash, Devin Harris made a mistake.

After stealing the ball, Chen Yan made an easy layup with 1-on-0 in the frontcourt.

Devin Harris didn't even chase back, and his mentality completely collapsed.

In the third quarter, the Sonics collapsed like dominoes across the board.

In the end, after a wave of bottoming out, the Suns won the away game 107 to 91!

After winning this game, the Suns also won 8 consecutive victories at the start of the game!

It is also the only undefeated team since the start of the league!

全场比赛陈炎出场33分钟，19投9中，其中三分球5中2，罚球13中10，全场合计砍下30分4篮板并且还有3次抢断。

纳什表现依旧稳定，本场拿下20分并且有11个助攻入账，小斯16分11篮板，希尔11分4篮板，迪奥8分6篮板5助攻。

Chen Yan feels very lucky. The Suns not only perfectly fit his style, but also have top-level teammates. Usually a rookie in a team can either achieve good statistics or win games. It is difficult to have both. But Chen Yan said that he wanted them all.

The last player who was as lucky as him was Magic Johnson.

超音速这边德文-哈里斯拿到全队最高的21分另外还有5次助攻，霍福德拿下11分10篮板的经济两双，厄尔-沃特森和威尔考克斯分别也有10分和12分入账。

Harris' numbers tonight looked good, but 21 of his 16 points came in the first half.

Interview session after the game.

When asked about Chen Yan's performance tonight, Horford said bluntly: "Compared to the NCAA period, he has improved again! The way he handles the ball is more mature than before, and he is more determined when attacking the basket. Tonight he is like It tore through our defenses like a sharp knife."

Devin Harris also praised Chen Yan when he mentioned it:

"He is very fast, much faster than I imagined, and he can freely mobilize the defensive player's footsteps in the fast break. In addition, his rapid change of direction is also very exaggerated, which is difficult to guard against."

Fast is divided into two types, one is pure speed, that of Bolt.

The other is the speed of dribbling. Chen Yan's speed is the second one in Devin Harris' mouth.

In fact, some outside players in the NBA are not slower than Chen Yan, but their ability to combine man and ball is not good, which makes them not have Chen Yan's swift and smooth sense of speed when pushing the fast break with the ball.

"Why did he suddenly change his style of play in the second half? He chose to hit the basket more to cause damage. Is this the coach's deployment?" In the locker room, the reporter asked Chen Yan a question.

"I realized that I am not in a good state tonight and the team is lagging behind, so I want to seek some changes." Chen Yan replied.

The state is not good, but the backhand got a 30+?

The rookie of the same class silently clicked the report after seeing the news.

Reason for reporting: Someone pretends to be coercive.
