The feeling of being blocked by the opponent is definitely unpleasant, Zhang Chen is now also looking for his revenge opportunity, but he found that the Nuggets' defense is undoubtedly much tighter than when they met them in the regular season before, this kind of strictness is disgusting, at least they have basically driven Zhang Chen and them to the outside. Zhang Chen's breakthrough ability was originally dependent on the sky, and he could often only rely on his speed and relative dexterity to make a move, and when the Nuggets' interior made defensive adjustments to Nash, Zhang Chen's breakthrough began to be a little ineffective.

Four minutes after the first quarter of the game, Zhang Chen's shot was hatted down once, the current score of the two sides is 7:6, the Suns are one point behind, and six of the Nuggets' seven points are from the golden double gun, and today's Iverson has scored 4 points, which looks a bit old.

Fortunately, at this time, the ball is still in Nash's hands for the time being, and the Nuggets' tight defensive formation naturally has a certain price, that is, their efficiency in completely completing that kind of defensive line contraction is not high, and it is easy for the Suns to seize the opportunity. For example, this time Nash directly passed the basketball directly to the hands of Xiao Si on the inside, and the opponent immediately came up to interfere, and Xiao Si still lost in the Nuggets' lifeless defense, and the shot was missed. It just so happened that Marion was waiting for the opportunity to move and grabbed this offensive rebound, and it just so happened that he saw that Zhang Chen just had a little gap now, so he immediately passed the basketball out.

The basketball came to Zhang Chen's hands, but Marion was not Nash after all, he was still under a lot of threats when he passed the ball just now, and when the basketball came to Zhang Chen's hands, he had to let Zhang Chen bend down to pick it up, which wasted some of Zhang Chen's offensive time, and when he was ready to start jumping, Jr. Smith also defended in a ghostly manner.

Smith's excellent physical fitness also caused some trouble to Zhang Chen, in the past game, this guy used his strong body several times to defend Zhang Chen, close to the death, so that Zhang Chen could only calculate the trick several times but still did not score. This is the power of this guy, but Zhang Chen also found some of his defensive loopholes, and at the moment he made a shooting feint, and then Smith was really fooled, the first few times he and Smith had the impression that Zhang Chen gave Smith the impression that he was shooting, omnipotent precision strikes. Therefore, now Smith was immediately deceived by Zhang Chen's shooting feint and couldn't find the north, and his body had jumped on the spot.

"Damn it!" Zhang Chen saw that Smith had been deceived by himself, and quickly glanced at the inside line, only to find that the Nuggets' inside line had been blocked again, if Zhang Chen wanted to break through now, it was just a dead end, Zhang Chen had to choose to shoot, of course, his shooting was also very insidious, just relying on Smith, who had already flown up, to force his shot, Smith's hand hit Zhang Chen's hand uncontrollably.

"Bang!" The basketball hit the neck of the basket and bounced high, and suddenly the guys on both sides of the rebound jumped high, and finally were snatched by the Nuggets, but before he had time to be happy, the referee's whistle sounded, and the white number six was fouled and added a free throw.

Zhang Chen looked at the basketball that flew out of the basket and felt a little annoyed, he finally found that the big hat that was covered at the beginning of the game finally worked, Zhang Chen, who began to contact professional basketball at a very young age, naturally knew that the momentum was elusive but tangible, and he knew that his momentum was knocked off by the big hat that covered the sky.

must find a way to get that potential back, this is Zhang Chen's thoughts, but it is indeed a bit difficult to find his potential now, because the Nuggets have now made defensive arrangements for his breakthrough, if Zhang Chen still wants to break into the interior with speed, all he is left with a quilt cap, after all, the Nuggets' interior line is not vegetarian.

Standing on the free throw line, Zhang Chen took a deep breath and started to make free throws.

"Bang!"

"Huh!" The first free throw didn't go in, which made Zhang Chen very annoyed, but fortunately his second shot was still familiar and obediently flew into the basket. It's just that seeing Zhang Chen, who has a free throw shooting rate of 90% this season, can only hit one of two free throws at the beginning of the game, which makes the audience feel a little incredible.

Could it be that Zhang Chen is the kind of legendary regular season player? Can only show off your power in the regular season and become a puddle of mud in the playoffs? This speculation sent chills down the spine of some veteran fans of the Suns - if they lost the support of Zhang Chen's firepower, then the sharpness of the Suns' offense would immediately drop a notch!

The Nuggets made a comeback and started attacking again, Iverson just hit two balls four times, and both of them were scored by breakthroughs, but after all, his body is no longer a teenager, just two breakthroughs, and there is already a feeling of exhaustion in the engine deep in his body. Let Iverson give up the breakthrough option of this ball, and instead pass the ball directly to Anthony, Iverson also gradually learned to calm down and save his physical strength.

Unlike Iverson, Melon was at the peak of his career at this time, he faced Bell's defense, it was still a sudden step-back jumper, the basketball obediently drilled into the basket again, Zhang Chen just relied on free throws to let the Suns tie the score was overtaken by the Nuggets again, and they were already two points behind.

I have to say that today's Suns team is controlled by the Nuggets, and they have been pressed and beaten by the Nuggets, which makes all the members of the Suns feel unhappy, but they have nothing to do, and they can only rely on their own offense again and again to try to reverse the decline.

Every game of the playoffs is a flesh-and-blood battle, and the blades have to fight, maybe a single ball can make a team fall into the abyss, and a season's hard work is in vain. Therefore, the playoffs are a stage where every inch of land is contested, and every competition between players on both sides is full of fists.

Nash started to break through this time, and he couldn't have been able to defend against Iverson, but if he was going all out to score or break through, Iverson couldn't stop him. Seeing the Suns' current suppressed decline, Nash also felt that he should do something.

Breaking through, coming and going like the wind, the wind in his ears seemed to be infinitely torn apart by speed, Nash had come to the depth of the interior in a blink of an eye, but he was also forced to the left side of the basketball court near the bottom corner because of his somewhat weak body, and there was already an inside defense of the Nuggets in front of him.

At the critical moment, Nash put away the basketball and suddenly accelerated to shake off the opponent at the last moment when the opponent's body began to put pressure on him, and then several of the opponent's interior lines had already pounced on him, including Anthony also rushed towards him.

With an ambush on all sides, Nash is like a lonely boat, jumping high in the inner line with an average height of up to two meters and eight, and it looks like his body is about to be submerged in the other party's sea of flesh. However, at this last moment, the corners of Nash's mouth suddenly hooked a weird smile, and then his body was originally facing away from the basket, but his right hand did appear behind him unexpectedly, and then, the basketball had passed through the gap of several inside lines of the opponent, crossed a space and came to Xiao Si's hand.

Due to the favoritism of the opponent's interior line in defensive attention, Xiao Si finally found a golden opportunity, and suddenly Xiao Si jumped high on the right side of the empty basket, and then a violent aesthetic slam dunk has been fully formed, and the dull sound of the dunk echoed in everyone's ears for a long time.

“ohohoh！”

The audience finally found a chance to vent, and suddenly the basketball hall was jubilant, and the overwhelming cheers soon drowned out Nash, and Nash finally couldn't maintain his balance after that gorgeous pass, and his body in his thirties also fell heavily to the ground, but in order not to reduce the momentum of the ball, Nash did not lie on the ground for too long, but immediately climbed up and waved to the audience.

Xiao Si also hammered his chest and roared, this ball expressed a wave of anger in his heart, he only felt as if he had climbed countless mountains, and now what was in front of him was the experience of seeing the mountains above the white clouds.

It seems that nothing can stop itself.

Nash knew that his goal had been achieved, and this non-looking pass regained the momentum, and then it was a real battle, and the Nuggets seemed to realize this, and their offense was more rapid, it seemed that Iverson barely drove his body, instantly increased his speed to the peak, and then took a step to grab the inside, ready to force a breakthrough, and take the momentum again. The game came to the most tense moment, Iverson did not lose his mind, but he has developed a habit of putting everything on his shoulder, this ball, he is ready to come by himself.

Nash knows what he wants to do, after all, he is also an opponent who has fought no less than 20 times in more than ten years, he naturally knows what Iverson thinks in his heart, but he is in a different camp, he still has to crush Iverson's plan, so while he tries his best to defend Iverson, he secretly makes the Suns form another defensive formation, which is also tailored for Iverson.

It's really easy for Iverson to break through Nash, he used two consecutive cross steps and then a big step to shake off Nash, and then stepped into the inside, at this time the Suns' Bell defense came up, and Iverson was blocked in front of Bell.

Iverson used a few more flashy breakaways to barely get past Bale, but at this time there was another Marion in front of him, and all of a sudden, he was exhausted and exhausted, and he could only choose a pass. Although the Suns' defense is not good, they still spare no effort when defending the opponent's important players.

However, Iverson also made a good pass in the last minute of the donkey's struggle, allowing J.R. Smith to break through in a more comfortable position and find a fairly large gap for a layup.

The score was still alternating, but Iverson's ball didn't achieve its primary purpose, and the basketball ended up being hit by someone else, and although his pass was good, it was much worse than Nash's top 10 ball today.

Sure enough, the momentum of the Suns increased after Nash's pass, especially Xiao Si, it seems that this guy is full of power, and constantly starts to charge the opponent's interior, and in the next until the ninth minute, Xiao Si hit two jump shots in a row, and also hit a slam dunk with his beastly body, and suddenly the Nuggets' score gap was stretched to 5 points, and although the Nuggets also had some counterattacks, but the counterattack was far from enough.

The Nuggets are already at a disadvantage for the time being, but today they are still a little surprised by Zhang Chen's performance, especially some Zhang Chen fans who came from afar are a little disappointed...... It seems that Zhang Chen has been suppressed today, and such a result is not what they want to see.

At the time of nine minutes and ten seconds, Zhang Chen received a pass not far from the free throw line, and now the Suns are like a rainbow, and all kinds of layers are endless, Zhang Chen does not want to be the most discordant person in the team today, so he also attaches great importance to the success or failure of this ball.

It's just that when he shook off Smith with a shooting feint, before he could finish the preparation of the shooting action, Anthony came up again, Anthony's height was still a deterrent for Zhang Chen, but now Zhang Chen's body was on the verge of being ready to shoot, and suddenly he could only reluctantly shoot.

"Bang!" In the sighs of some fans, Zhang Chen's ball was deflected off the basket again, and the rebound was picked up by the Nuggets. Nash frowned unconsciously when he saw this ball, because it seemed that Zhang Chen seemed to have encountered some problems, and this problem was enough to trouble Zhang Chen's play, Nash thought about it and thought of the crux of some problems, anyway, the Suns team is inseparable from Zhang Chen, if Zhang Chen performs badly, even with the Suns' lack of offensive tension, he will suffer a loss on offense.

Nash came to Zhang Chen's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Chen, don't worry too much...... It's just the beginning, it's the next ball that matters. Zhang Chen nodded at him, and then fell back into the half court to participate in the defense.

Today's game is really a bit embarrassing, he thought that the playoffs could be as good as the regular season, who knew that he played unsatisfactory in the first quarter of the first game of the playoffs, so far the game has passed 9 minutes and 24 seconds, and his current data is three misses, two free throws and one hit, this is a statistical performance that is not at the same level as he usually does, you must know that he is a scoring master who scored more than 15 points in the first quarter in 15 consecutive games.

"Maybe it's not the right time for us...... It seems that Zhang Chen's condition is not very good. A domestic fan sat in the audience and said with some sadness.

The companion next to him also looked a little worried: "Actually, what I'm most worried about is that Zhang Chen may be a regular season player...... But a lot of times a player's true performance is overlooked in the regular season. ”

While the two were discussing, an English sentence suddenly came from next to them: "Hey, hello, are you Chen's compatriots?" ”

When the two of them looked up, it turned out to be a teenager, and the child looked bright.

Sean saw that the two yellow people next to him were wearing Zhang Chen's jersey and the same skin color as Zhang Chen, so he took the initiative to greet them.

"Well, yes, we are Chinese, and we are fans of Zhang Chen."

Sean smiled and said with a friendly smile on his face, "Tatsumi is my good friend...... My name is Shaun...... By the way, maybe you see that the current Tatsumi is a little out of state, but please believe that he must be the wind god who transcends miracles, there is no doubt about it. ”

A hint of discoloration flashed in the eyes of the two fans, and then they suddenly felt a little ashamed in their hearts - such a child had never doubted Zhang Chen, and since he was known as a die-hard fan, he even had doubts about Zhang Chen...... The game came to 10 minutes and 30 seconds, Nash once again possessed the ball over half the court, and then, facing Iverson's defense, suddenly took a big step into the inside, Nash was basically threading the needle for the team just now, and has got 5 assists so far, and now he is suddenly full of attack ** and drilled straight inside, which makes the Nuggets feel a little upside down.

Nash's breakthrough route was to choose the left side of the basket, all the way to the wind, has swept past Iverson's defense, and once again ushered in the opponent's interior package, but the opponent's interior line obviously also took into account the tricky players of the Suns behind them, so they did not relax their defense against Xiao Si and Marion, and their packages were limited to the limit.

"It's now!" Nash suddenly used a pass that caught the opponent off guard, and suddenly, the basketball crossed the gap between several people, and suddenly appeared in the hands of Zhang Chen outside the three-point line!

The left side of the basket was almost all attracted by Nash's defensive attention, and there were basically only Smith and Anthony left in front of Zhang Chen!

Seeing this situation, Zhang Chen didn't think about it, and immediately smashed the basketball in front of him, and then his body quickly followed, and when Smith was just about to defend, Zhang Chen had already taken the first step to fully start and pass Smith.

Smith soon could only see Zhang Chen's big No. 6 back, Zhang Chen passed Smith in one step, and met Anthony in the second step.

Anthony immediately blocked up, he was determined to defend Zhang Chen, however, Zhang Chen had already put away the basketball at this time, and then a good man with a large arc swept directly past Anthony, and his body was slightly on one side, flashing directly to Anthony's side!

Anthony's defense was already a bit scum, in the face of such an attack, he had no strength to defend, Zhang Chen took advantage of such a little time, the jump of his right leg was not gone, and he came to the basket in an instant.

Although the Nuggets' inside line was aware of the moment Zhang Chen received the pass, and immediately blocked it in the direction of Zhang Chen's advance, but Anthony blocked part of their sight, and the most important thing is that Zhang Chen's breakthrough was simply unforgiving, and it took two steps to tear apart the defense of the two people, and instantly arrived under the basket!

"Bang!" The sound of the slam dunk was as dull and crisp as ever, Zhang Chen hung high on the basket, and a breath of turbid air in his chest waved out fiercely, and suddenly, he only felt as if he had reached another peak.
