233 Game 1 of the playoffs

Unlike the Nuggets, the generals of several teams on the Suns' side are quite calm, anyway, everyone has some momentum to point out the country and laugh at the storm, of course, there are also many indiscriminate people - such as Zhang Chen, this guy actually doesn't really understand the meaning of the playoffs, so he is still laughing heartlessly.

The person on this team who seems to have been frowning is D'Antoni, when he tried not to let himself affect the momentum of the Suns, D'Antoni did not show his worries on his face, at least he did not let his players notice, this is all in order not to lower the morale of the Suns.

After a team reaches the playoffs, all kinds of miracles can happen, the playoffs are the cradle of tragedy, and it is also a breeding ground for miracles, how many teams have been planted in the playoffs, and how many teams have sprung up in the playoffs?

The teams in the playoffs often can't be measured by common sense, they have the strongest offensive quality, they have inexhaustible motivation, after all, this playoffs are a season of 82 games to fight hard, once they are eliminated, they have to start all over again, this feeling is the most embarrassing, the feeling of working hard for a season and still disappearing, everyone, every team does not want to interpret.

In such a situation, the playoffs become the most inconsistent game of those kinds.

In order to avoid becoming a tragedy for the strong team, and for the weak team to be able to become that lucky miracle, they have to fight every game desperately.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Offense, offense! Leandro: Did you eat poop in the morning? Don't tell me that's your ultimate speed......" D'Antoni shouted at Barbossa on the basketball court, now Barbossa is trying to break through, and Zhang Chen is defending him, Barbossa is troubled, just want to tell D'Antoni: You come up and use your speed to pass this pervert?

This is the last intra-team game before the playoffs, and they are all about using tactics against the Nuggets, and preferably being able to practice well, and that's what this intra-team game is all about. Of course, everyone's performance so far is not bad, but Zhang Chen is the one with a relatively large surname in the team, except for the kind of routine that must be commanded by the point guard, Zhang Chen can generally choose whether he needs to break through or end the offense with a shot.

D'Antoni nodded secretly, he was surprised to find that Zhang Chen's speed seemed to have broken through a little more, which made him think that this guy was really incredible, and the team trainer Alun who was standing next to D'Antoni was so excited that his eyes lit up, and he was ready to take Zhang Chen over and slice it for study.

After this intra-team match, everyone is sitting on the stool and panting, and there will be some training tomorrow, but that training is more of a more proficient mastery of tactics, and the players need to save their energy for the playoffs.

"Okay...... Let's call it a day. As soon as D'Antoni finished saying this, he found that the people below were already dressed and about to flash, and he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he couldn't teach, but he didn't have much to do with this group of guys, so he had to say: "Tomorrow is the first game of the playoffs...... Gather your strength tonight, because you're going to face a playoff opponent who has the answers, the guy who once scares everyone in the league, and the scoring maniac Cameron, and that's something we need to work on to overcome...... Well, come on. ”

The big guys stacked their arms together, and then shook them off vigorously: "Victory!" However, at the moment when he shook off his right hand, Zhang Chen noticed a kind of solemnity when the Suns and Spurs played last time, and even surpassed it. It's Xiao Si, who usually giggles, and now he's serious, and everyone is shouting victory in an almost sacred bowing voice.

Today was the end of the day, and when he returned to his apartment, he received a text message from Avril and a text message from Lena, who were all wishing him good luck. And Sean also made a call to Zhang Chen, the little guy doesn't have much free time after receiving regular training, but he said that he will definitely come to watch the Suns and Nuggets game tomorrow. It can be heard that he is also one of the Phoenix fanatics fans who want nothing more than to see the Suns win.

"It's a life-or-death game...... After a few seasons of setbacks, Aaron? Iverson is desperate to find the answer that truly belongs to him, and at the same time, the leader of the 03 class, Cameron, also hopes to catch up with his good friend Dwyane to get that top honor, so although the Nuggets' record in the regular season is far from the match of the Suns, they will definitely fight their last drop of blood...... There is no doubt that the Suns will face a tough game. That's the preface to the preview of the game in the official Phoenix fan newspaper.

"We believe that the Suns, Phoenix and Phoenix will have their rebirth after two failed seasons!" This is the title on Phoenix's official Chinese website, while Zhang Chen's official Chinese website has only four big words: Howling Wind.

Several Zhang Chen fans in Chinese mainland also said that they would organize a group to go to Phoenix to watch the first two battles that would definitely be Mars hitting the Earth, but some surprising things are that Zhang Chen also has a large number of fans in Taiwan, and they also organized a team of about 40 people to Phoenix to watch the Suns and Nuggets game.

Three hours before the game, Liu Xuan called Zhang Chen: "Hey, Zhang Chen." ”

"Hey, is there something wrong? I'm busy, it's almost time to race. ”

"I know, I just want to tell you, after watching this series between you and the Nuggets, I'm going to New York, I have booked tickets for these games, and I will definitely become your most fanatical fan anyway, of course, this is also a rare time for me to be able to watch the game purely."

Hearing that Liu Xuan was about to leave, Zhang Chen was a little reluctant in his heart, and said, "Okay...... Just watch me slaughter everywhere. ”

"Well, I'll wait to tell you, today's game of yours is the focus of attention from all over the world, this game is broadcast live in the United States, and it is also a live broadcast of the whole process of Tianchao Sports, and there are many of your fans in China, who deliberately put down their work and came to Phoenix, and some Taiwanese fans are also here...... Victory isn't just for you. ”

When Liu Xuan talked about the live broadcast in front of him, Zhang Chen himself already knew it, but when Liu Xuan talked about the enthusiasm of the compatriots in the back, Zhang Chen still felt a little touched, and finally said I will work hard, and then he put down the phone.

Then, the game was about to begin in the dark arena, as DJs announced their names one by one, everyone stared at the one-meter light above their heads and trotted all the way to the stadium, and suddenly the audience either cheered, cheered, or applauded. When Zhang Chen came to the light with his surname and accepted everyone's bows, he found that the cheers of the people were different from usual, and they were much louder than the previous ones.

All kinds of cheers, applause, whistles crashed into Zhang Chen's ears, as if he had gone through a cycle, when he stepped into this stadium for the first time, the audience was not too interested in him, at most they applauded, compared to this, these cheers have become the witness of Zhang Chen's footprints.

When the lights were fully on, the crowd next to the court appeared in front of them, they were still cheering for Zhang Chen and them, and basically everyone wore white T-shirts on the Suns' home court, and they seemed to see a churning white wave in the distance.

The playoffs and regular season have been much more majestic in terms of atmosphere alone, and the team's attendance is much higher than usual, which shows how much attention this game has received.

The jump ball was about to start, Zhang Chen saw the Iverson on the opposite side who had fully entered the state, the 32-year-old Iverson had left traces of time on his face, but the focused look was as similar as when he first entered the league. Although Iverson has seen many breakthroughs on the big screen in that nuanced learning space that is not a few dimensions, and it is not the first time he has met the Nuggets, but Iverson is a player that Zhang Chen used to like very much, and he still unconsciously glanced over there during the game.

Jump Ball Begins!

"Smack!" The basketball was slapped into Nash's hand by Xiao Si, the first ball possession of the Suns in the playoffs this season! Nash received the basketball and kept closing in on the opposing half, and his speed was so fast that he had already pushed past the halfcourt in a moment.

The first ball in the playoffs had a big impact on the team's momentum, and Nash wanted to grab the first one, so his speed was on fire in an instant. However, at this moment, Iverson had already chased after Nash's side, and immediately reached out his right hand to make a gesture on Nash's ball.

Iverson, who has been in the league for 12 years, naturally won't do too much of a stupid thing to gamble on defense, he is just a feint, and sure enough, Nash also paused in order to get out of the way of the steal, which had won three consecutive steals, taking advantage of such a rhythm, the Nuggets' defensive players have been in place, and Nash's fast break is basically useless.

It's just that Nash's speed is still there, and his unparalleled precision passing is still there, and he immediately passed the basketball to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen received the first pass in the playoffs and really embarked on the journey of the playoffs.

received a pass, but Smith, who was defending Zhang Chen, was still on Zhang Chen's side, and suddenly, Zhang Chen happened to have the rhythm of time, and instantly took a big step to the inside line, and it only took one step to completely shake off Smith's defense. Smith hurriedly caught up behind him, only to find that this guy seemed to be faster than Iverson on their team!

It wasn't just Smith who discovered this, but also Iverson, who was entangled with Nash and came to the outside of the three-point line, he just saw Zhang Chen's first step past Smith, and immediately couldn't take his eyes off. Zhang Chen's speed made his pupils shrink suddenly!

It's so fast! Tearing lightning fast! And it looks like this guy is also blocking his skills because of his poor ball control skills... How could he be so fast? The last time we met the Suns, he was just a mobile battery for the Suns.

Right now...... How can it be? Iverson really felt a little scary, a two-meter-three-meter guy using his own speed...... It made him feel like he couldn't put it into words, and at the same time he felt a little depressed - maybe I was really old.

Zhang Chen shook off Smith in one step, Anthony in the second step, and then picked up the basketball with an arc speed, and immediately hit the deep place under the basket and then jumped to the basket!

"Smack!"

The crisp sound of the cap stopped everyone's idea of cheering, and Zhang Chen's layup was mercilessly covered by the Nuggets' inside line. Zhang Chen was stunned for a while: I was covered?

This is the first time Zhang Chen has been hatted after creating his own arc flash tricks, and his first playoff trip was hatted by the opponent, which made him lose his mind for a short time, and the basketball was also hit by the boundary line, and the referee raised his hand and handed the basketball to the Suns.

Originally, this kind of thing is commonplace, but this ball has seriously hit Zhang Chen's confidence, the basketball court is changing rapidly, and the theory of potential is quite easy to find a market here, when a team member is hit by the opponent's big hat or is deducted by the opponent, the opponent will be affected to a certain extent. (This is really not groundless...... Let's take a look at this year's playoffs between the Hornets and the Lakers, in Game 5, the Hornets started with a mighty ...... But after the Kobi buckle, the Hornets couldn't get an erection anymore...... There are many, many such examples. The Suns' opening shot was a little bit bad, and Zhang Chen was also holding back a fire in his heart, but he didn't realize the serious atmosphere between the real fist-to-flesh offense and defense, and the crazy offensive and defensive transitions in the playoffs. The Suns started to serve, and the ball passed through Bell's transit station and went to Marion on the inside, who started to make a layup, and finally was interfered with by the opponent, and the basketball deflected off the basket.

Zhang Chen seemed to feel a trace of breath, as if the people of the Nuggets had turned into flood beasts.

The ball came into the hands of the Nuggets, compared to Nash, Iverson's organization is not what he is best at, he is still more suitable for breaking through the ball, and then Zhang Chen found that Nash's defense is also much more serious than in the regular season. Although he still couldn't stop Iverson, Zhang Chen could see that Nash had done his best.

The battle between the two ninety-six level brothers and sisters immediately made everyone's eyes widen, Iverson used a crotch dribble after the left and right, Nash was already a little shaken, but seeing that Iverson seemed to be about to pass by him, Nash suddenly blocked Iverson again.

A slight smile crossed Iverson's lips, and then he dribbled under his crotch twice in a row to catch a change of direction that was still caught off guard even after the 32-year-old Iverson used it. Nash was finally passed by Iverson, and Iverson plunged into the mountains of the Suns.

"Defense!" Nash was passed by Iverson and immediately began to yell, and several people on the inside had actually reacted, and everyone could see that they were doing their best to defend Iverson.

However, when Iverson was determined to score, although he was 32 years old, there were still not many people who could stop him, and he forced his speed past Marion, and then began to jump up in front of Xiao Si for layups.

Xiao Si was already waiting for the opportunity to move, standing behind Iverson, and the moment he jumped up, he also stretched out his right hand to block it, but Iverson's body in the sky was still cunning and weird, and after the basketball passed a big windmill in his hand to go to the basket, he coincidentally let go of Xiao Si's right hand, gently knocked on the basket and finally bounced into the net.

There was no doubt that it was a good shot, and Iverson deftly floated his body into the interior like a fallen leaf, and the opponent was elusive. And although Zhang Chen has seen a lot of Iverson's breakthroughs, he still can't help but want to give a thumbs up to this breakthrough, especially his last big windmill layup, which is even more clever to grasp the space, time and rhythm between him and Xiao Si, so that his sale happens to be in the gap.

The man of 1.83 meters walked through the crowd of more than two meters, and he had already mastered these things.

Iverson's breakthrough allowed the two sides to achieve the first tie after 45 seconds of play, and the basketball went through the half court in Nash's hands, and Zhang Chen quickly found that Smith seemed to be very interested in him, sparing no effort in his defense, and even mixed with some small moves in between.

Smith was a little disgusted with his defense, but Zhang Chen found more and more that the atmosphere was wrong, because he felt that many things seemed to have changed today, and everyone seemed to have an inexplicable effect.

The Suns' offense, Nash passed the ball to Bale, and Bell passed the ball to Marion, who was directly on the inside, and Marion cut successfully, and the Suns led by two points again.

Marion's ball is also remarkable, Bale's pass is also quite in place, just enough for Marion to receive the ball, almost all players who have studied in the Suns can have a good shot and an occasional flash of inspiration, that is, Zhang Chen can now occasionally pass a few good balls to his teammates, making it easier for teammates to score.

The first few balls were important for both sides, and this offense from the Nuggets, they passed the basketball to Melon Anthony, who began to lean on Bell's back to play singles. To be honest, Bale's defense is still okay, and he can even be said to be No.1 in the Suns, but it is still impossible for him to completely guard a player of Anthony's level.

After Anthony leaned on Bell, he suddenly made a sudden step-back jumper, and it could be seen that his hand was very smooth, and the basketball flew into the basket almost parallelly, which was not beautiful, but had a special hard feeling.

The score was tied again, the game had just begun, and both sides played relatively well.
