The second game between the Suns and Nuggets received a lot of attention because it was still played on the Suns' home court, and today the Suns' home arena was still packed, with spectators sitting in their seats cheering for the Suns.

In fact, this game is quite important for the Suns, after all, if they lose the first two home games in a playoff series, then they will not be too optimistic in this series, after all, they often face a different situation when they return to the Nuggets' home court.

The second game between the Suns and Nuggets kicked off amid the crowd, with players from both sides stepping onto the basketball court amid DJ's roaring voices, followed by a flood of cheers from the crowd.

"The following is a magical player, he comes from an ancient and magical place, he is our Zhang Chen!" DJ's fiery voice resounded loudly in the ears of the audience, and then Zhang Chen ran into the stadium after cheering, his face smiling, and at the same time raised his hand to signal to everyone. Strictly speaking, Zhang Chen's performance in the last game was not quite in line with his usual style in the regular season performance, but his 23-point performance and consecutive scoring at key moments are still quite good, after all, 23 points are not something that anyone can get, let alone any rookie.

The players walked into the stadium one by one with brilliant lights, and the lights swept on everyone's faces, as if adding a strange look to them.

The match still received attention from China, and the five sets of Celestial Empire Sports faithfully sent the grand occasion of the game to the televisions of thousands of households, and most Chinese fans tuned in to watch the big game in front of the televisions.

The first quarter of the game was played in the midst of everyone's great demand, and the Suns were still the starting lineup - Zhang Chen, Nash, Bell, Xiaosi, Marion, and the Nuggets' lineup was the same as the previous game. After the jump ball began, the right hand of the referee who left the orange-red basketball that touched everyone's hearts flew high into the air, and the two long men waiting below jumped at the same time, and the game officially began!

The first ball was in the hands of the Suns, Nash directly ended the offense with a combination with Xiaosi, and after the aerial relay, the basketball was smashed into the basket hard, and the Suns opened the first game. In the first quarter, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and it is self-evident that this game is important for the Nuggets, and it is conceivable what a huge morale boost it would be if they could get a win on the Suns' home court.

The Nuggets have a lot of hope in this game, and if they can get even one win on the opponent's home court, it will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial for them in the rest of the series, and at that time they will be able to advance and retreat, and the hope of winning this series will be greatly increased.

Therefore, the Nuggets burst out of strong energy in the first quarter, and the Nuggets players began to bombard the opponent's basket again and again. After the Suns' aerial relay hit the first ball directly, the impact on the Nuggets was not a half-star, but unfortunately his morale shock went in the wrong direction. This ball The Suns not only did not suppress the momentum of the Nuggets, but under this aerial relay, the Nuggets players became even more vicious, as if they were inspired by this ball.

In the first three minutes of the game, the two sides battled the basket offensively, but after the aerial relay of Xiaosi and Nash and a slam dunk by Anthony of the Nuggets, both sides fell into a battle of iron in the first three minutes of the game.

The ferocity of the players on both sides not only did not attract the offense to the right track, but because their defensive aggressiveness was greatly improved, the opponent's shooting rate was greatly improved, and their own shooting rate was reduced, and they did not allow the opponent's shooting rate to increase, so this became a vicious cycle, and for a while, the audience next to the basketball court was already yawning, and the thud of the iron seemed to become the best lullaby, leisurely drifting into everyone's dream.

"How long is this going to be?" Fan Xingchen said a little drowsily to Du Xiang next to him.

"When? ......" Du Xiang smiled ambiguously: "It turns out that Lao Fan, you are not a good person......"

Fan Xingchen's face was a little red, this guy was indeed quite pure, but it didn't mean that he didn't react to Du Xiang's ambiguous words, he also knew that Du Xiang was deliberately using the loopholes in his words to make fun, and he didn't reply at the moment, but watched the game on the basketball court and didn't relax.

The time came to three minutes and thirty-one seconds, Nash controlled the ball and came to the half, just now the two sides scrambled to fight the iron battle made him feel a little soft, as if the basketball just couldn't be thrown into the basket, although all the players who had a chance to shoot were frantically aiming at the basket, hating to put a sight in their hands, but the reality was cruel, the basketball still deviated from the basket again and again, and began to challenge the patience of the players and the audience.

"Tatsu! Catch! Zhang Chen also hit an iron in the game just now, but Nash knows that this guy can often do something incredible when these incredible times, maybe Zhang Chen has a way to solve the deadlock now?

The person who defends Zhang Chen is Smith, the Nuggets still sent this guy to defend Zhang Chen, in the previous game he has encountered the impact from Zhang Chen, he found that even if he tried his best, it was difficult to stop Zhang Chen, so when he heard that he was still asked to limit Zhang Chen as much as possible, he was also bitter, but later under the high-sounding reason of the team's interests, he also regained his vitality, and felt that Zhang Chen was nothing more than that.

At this time, whoever can break the scoring deadlock is a victory, and Smith certainly didn't want the scoring deadlock to be won by the opposing player's head, so he quickly rushed towards Zhang Chen, who received the ball. It only took a little time for him to come to Zhang Chen, stretching out his hands to interfere with Zhang Chen as much as possible, he knew that he probably couldn't prevent Zhang Chen, the only thing he could do was to make Zhang Chen's score as difficult as possible.

Zhang Chen faced Smith's defense, lifted the basketball high and lifted it above his body, and at the same time his body bent forward, using the side of his shoulder to push Smith, Smith's solid muscles soon transmitted the power of rebound, and soon made Zhang Chen understand the difference in tonnage between the two people.

However, Zhang Chen naturally couldn't be afraid of his opponent because of his strong body, his right leg rushed forward, and then his body suddenly broke through! The speed was quickly driven to the maximum, and in order to counteract the impact of his ball control skills on his body, he immediately put away the basketball the moment he staggered Smith by half a position.

Anthony had already pounced on Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen put away the basketball in front of him and didn't go inside, his body had jumped high, the basketball slowly raised to his forehead, and his body kept falling backwards in the process, quickly retreating to the end.

However, at this time, Smith, who was just half a body behind Zhang Chen, suddenly jumped high towards Zhang Chen, his bounce ability was much better than Zhang Chen, and he saw Zhang Chen use the emergency stop jump shot that gave him a headache again. At that moment, his right hand did not stay, and went up towards Zhang Chen's basketball cover. This block is still quite level, just above Zhang Chen's basketball, which makes Zhang Chen, who has come to the highest point in the sky, unable to defend himself, and if he is not careful, it will be the end of being blocked by the opponent, so Zhang Chen has no extra way to go at the critical moment.

Anthony and Smith are one in front and one on the side, the two of them basically blocked most of Zhang Chen's shooting space, Zhang Chen's current position is above the free throw line, and when he saw that his body was about to reach the highest point, he suddenly put away his basketball, and then the strength of his body may be completely exhausted At the last moment, his hands made a fold!

This folding is too horizontal, just in the gap between the two of them let the basketball pass by them, they have no strength to interfere with Zhang Chen again, but Zhang Chen has also entered a rather dangerous situation, because his body has fallen from the highest point, but the basketball in his hand still did not shoot.

Anyone who has played basketball knows that this is a state like rootless duckweed, people have nowhere to borrow strength in the air, but the basketball can't be shot, at the critical moment, Zhang Chen's kind of ten-level shooting ground is really mysterious, and at the last moment when he is about to land, the basketball leaves his hands and flies out towards the basket that he is most impressed with.

Although he no longer had control over the direction of the basketball, he did let his basketball fly towards the most impressive place at the last minute.

"Huh!" In the eyes of the audience who were so nervous that they even wanted to hold their breath, the basketball quickly pierced into the net!

The crowd cheered in unison, and even the Nuggets fans began to applaud, they had had enough of the feeling of playing iron and desperately needed the game to get back on track. Although Zhang Chen didn't hit a three-point shot, the most important thing now is to score a goal to break the scoring drought rather than a three-point icing on the cake.

Zhang Chen clenched his fist fiercely, to be honest, in the game, many difficult actions can make the players feel a sense of accomplishment even if they can score goals, but they also know that the more difficult the goal, the more luck there is.

Zhang Chen's goal finally broke the scoring drought for the two teams, and also put the game back on track, and the two sides immediately launched a scoring contest in the following time. Zhang Chen's scoring was not only for the Suns to break the scoring drought, but also for the Nuggets to break the scoring drought, after Zhang Chen's folding shot, the Nuggets also found an opportunity, Melon Anthony hit a jumper, and the score of the two sides was tied again.

The game was back on track, and in the next game, the players of both sides launched a big point battle, the Nuggets and the Suns were both very good offensive teams, and when they broke the scoring drought, the offensive battle also made the audience addicted. The performance on both sides is that the Suns shoot a two-point shot, and the Nuggets must use a breakthrough or mid-range shot to catch up, and the Nuggets hit a three-pointer, and the Suns must also use a three-pointer or 2+1 to return the color.

The first quarter of the game between the two teams ended in such a crazy score, the final score was 26:24, the Suns led by two points into the second quarter of the game, in this quarter of the game, all the players on the court of the two teams scored, the highest score so far was Xiao Si, he dunked inside and outside the shot, passed the ball through, and scored a total of 7 points in the first quarter, Nash got 3 points and 3 assists, Zhang Chen scored 5 points and 2 rebounds - He picked up two rebounds that he found a little unbelievable in his own time when he was in a scoring drought.

The Nuggets still have a lot of chances, and although the second quarter was a bench battle, it basically carried a lot of strength because of the situation of the game - both sides hoped that their benches could beat the opponent's benches and take the initiative in their own hands. Under such circumstances, in the second quarter of the game, both sides spared no effort to make every substitute player make the best use of everything, and launched a tragic battle.

It's just that the Nuggets are still weaker than the Suns on the bench, and the Suns' bench almost pressed the Nuggets in the first five minutes before the start of the second quarter, playing a wave of 8:1 offense**, and then although the Nuggets also launched some counterattacks, but the Suns have controlled the general trend, and every threat from the other side can be saved by them, and the game in the second quarter ended in the struggle of both sides.

The first half was completely over, the score was 46:42, and the Suns led by four points into the second half of the game, although the Nuggets also launched several counterattacks in the second half of the second quarter, but they were all snuffed out by the Suns' main lineup.

The game is basically controlled by the Suns so far, the first half of the third quarter of the game between the two sides are still fighting, the Nuggets also used various means to chase the score, they finally got some of the opportunities they wanted in the first three minutes, the Suns chased hard, but overtook a point. At three minutes and six seconds into the third quarter, the Nuggets outscored the Suns by one point, and now that the ball was in the hands of the Suns, Nash controlled the ball fairly steadily across the halfcourt, and then directed his teammates to start getting into position.

Zhang Chen is still quite depressed today, the Nuggets' defense of their interior line is like a big girl tightly clamping her most critical part with her thighs, Zhang Chen's breakthrough is at most able to reach the free throw line and end up without a problem - there are too many ways to score without a solution in the NBA, but there are not many breakthroughs without solutions, Zhang Chen's current breakthrough can be used by his speed, but the quality of ball control cannot keep up with his speed, which makes Zhang Chen's breakthrough lack a lot of things.

At this moment, Nash and Xiao Si came to cooperate, but unfortunately Xiao Si couldn't hit a layup in the end, but he grabbed the rebound and threw it out towards Zhang Chen on the outside. Smith quickly followed Zhang Chen as if he was facing a big enemy, Zhang Chen immediately made a shooting feint after receiving the basketball, but Smith was not fooled, Zhang Chen had to retract the feint in a stupid manner, and then his body pulled up again, and his heels had left the ground.

"Are you annoyed......" This is what Smith wants to say to Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen has already had a lot of shooting feints, does he think this can still fool him? It's also too insulting to my defensive IQ - Smith thought.

However, he misjudged again, Zhang Chen's shot was real, when Smith realized that this was a real shooting place, it was too late, the basketball in Zhang Chen's hand was gone, and a moment later, a shoal of gulls and herons was startled on the other side of the basket, and the net nest fluttered slightly.

"I can't stand it, I can't stand it!" Smith really felt bitter, this guy's shot couldn't be defended at all!

Zhang Chen's score in this game is not high, and he has only scored 10 points until now, but his shooting is still the best threat to the opponent, and he can always reap a few lives every time he shoots. The Nuggets watched Zhang Chen's shooting and could not do anything, and in the end they could only fly out of the sky with a dark sigh.

In the third quarter, the game was back on track under Zhang Chen's three-point shot, and the Nuggets were opened up by Zhang Chen's goal again, and it was time to chase again. It's just that the Suns didn't give them a chance to chase points, as if they were also completely demoralized by Zhang Chen's shot, and in the rest of the third quarter, they finally began a devastating scoring frenzy, and they even scored ** at one point, scoring small**.

Under the Suns' frantic offense, with their offensive machine fully operational, Iverson, Anthony's scoring has become a cloud, and the Suns understated, but each shot can cut a bigger scar on the Nuggets' wounds.

At the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets were already behind by 9 points, and in this game, they basically didn't struggle anymore, and the gap in strength was no longer something that could be made up with faith.

The fourth quarter of the game unfolded with the cheers of the home fans, and the Nuggets tried to find their rhythm again, but they only recovered four points, and Zhang Chen, who made them hate, shot a three-pointer again, and suddenly the Nuggets became overturned again, and the momentum disappeared.

Under Zhang Chen's rather crucial jumper, the Suns rediscovered the rhythm of the scoring frenzy, and in the next few minutes, the Suns directed a 12-3 attack wave, and the Suns' inside and outside lines continued to blossom, taking turns firing, bombarding the Nuggets' fragile nerves and defense.

With one minute left in the game, the Suns had a 15-point lead, and the Nuggets were once again on the verge of victory.

The Suns' winning trend has been unstoppable, and although Iverson made an Iverson moment of 32 seconds and 6 minutes in the last minute, but under the cold-blooded attack of the Suns, the Nuggets could only die of hatred in the end.

The final score was 119:110, and the Suns won the second game of the Suns vs Nuggets series by 9 points at home!

This game allowed the Nuggets' two consecutive road trips to finally end in regrets, although there were too many regrets, but everything is irretrievable, the Suns have now the upper hand, and the next game will be played in Denver, the home of the Nuggets, this is an extremely crucial game, it is conceivable that it will attract a frenzy of onlookers.
