178 ravages the Lakers outside line
With less than seven minutes left in the first quarter, the score was tied.
The ball was back in the hands of the Lakers, and they naturally wouldn't allow the lead they had so hard to build up to be lost, and to be on the safe side, the basketball was passed by Fisher to Gasol on the inside.
However, this time, although Gasol tried to get the Lakers back to the score advantage, his desire failed.
He played this ball steadily, but when he went to the basket, he was finally slapped by the angry Xiao Si, and suddenly, the basketball made a crisp hitting sound when it collided with Xiao Si, and then Zhang Chen, who had already heard the clues, immediately ran back towards the half court.
"Attack! Aggro! ”
"Attack!"
The audience is always the one who stands and talks without backache, they point to the country on the side of the basketball court, and they always think that if they handle a ball themselves, they will be able to score easily, so the audience always cheers and boos.
Zhang Chen quickly ran to the half-court, Nash's pass also flew quickly, Zhang Chen had already held the basketball tightly, and the audience suddenly erupted into a louder noise, encouraging Zhang Chen to launch a fast attack as soon as possible.
In fact, the person who could grasp Zhang Chen's movements the most just now was Vujasic, he had been watching Zhang Chen's actions very carefully just now, and he had already run over when Zhang Chen ran past half the court.
Zhang Chen could only run with the ball after receiving the pass in the half, so the speed was undoubtedly slowed down, so he was followed by Vujasic step by step, and for a while he couldn't get rid of this follower.
The two of them maintained this posture and soon came to the Lakers half-time outside the three-point line, Zhang Chen hurriedly licked his lips with his tongue, and couldn't help but start to reminisce about the feeling of the previous fast-break slam dunk.
The moment of the slam dunk was the most hearty, looking at people's helpless expressions, as well as the wry smile on the corner of their mouth. When my hands hung on the basket, I felt the buzzing roar from the basket, and suddenly, the hearty and hearty feeling of chic freehand quickly spread to the deepest part of my heart.
Zhang Chen had already made up his mind that the ball had to be dunked quickly, and the afterglow swept to the people around him who were running towards him, Zhang Chen stopped at the place where he took a step in the three-point line, Vujacic was indeed harmed by Zhang Chen's accurate shooting, and at this moment he naturally thought that Zhang Chen was going to stop and jump shot.
With the blood in his heart, Vujasic's center of gravity has risen from the ground, and when Zhang Chen straightened up his waist that was stiff because of dribbling, Vujasic's toes also left the ground.
"That's not right...... There is a conspiracy ......" Vujacic quickly thought of his jumper from beyond the three-point line to trick himself into jumping up, and suddenly hated to slap himself in the mouth. It's just that the top priority is that he must fall to the ground as soon as possible to catch Zhang Chen.
However, before he could fall to the ground, Zhang Chen had already quickly tightened his abdomen and chest, and then, his body had turned into a sharp arrow, faintly making a buzzing sound, and he desperately drilled into the air.
Vujacic had completely no time to keep up with Zhang Chen, and by the time he started chasing, Zhang Chen had already let his sixth-level speed fire at full power and quickly reached the bottom of the basket.
There's no one in front of you anymore!
When will you stay at this time?
Zhang Chen's body was already jumping high, and Wu Jacic had to withdraw his hands in time to avoid fouling, and Zhang Chen completed a fast-break slam dunk in this way, and the hearty feeling made him can't stop smashing his chest hard.
Bale, the player who had just arrived, quickly rushed over and gave him a high-five: "Good job...... This kind of slam dunk is really morale-boosting! ”
Yes, the slam dunk on the basketball court can often play a role in improving morale, Zhang Chen's slam dunk is never pretty, but it also plays a huge role in the growth of morale at this moment.
"Good shot!" Sun Dasheng couldn't help but roar out in a low voice when he saw Zhang Chen's successful slam dunk, but his voice was very low and he quickly shut up, because he was a member of the Lakers after all, even if he basically didn't have a chance to play.
In the audience on the side of the basketball court, those spectators saw that the ball was finally as they expected, and suddenly the sound of cheers rose everywhere, and the sound soon surrounded the court.
After such a dunk, the morale of the Suns was reawakened, so Zhang Chen is now an indispensable player for the Suns, and it is more reflected in this critical moment, he can always use various methods to help the Suns recover the decline.
The Lakers have naturally been depleted by this slam dunk and are now trying to save their morale.
The basketball came to Lama Odom's hands, he put his shoulders on Bell, and the two of them held on to the free throw line, and then Odom hit a mid-range jumper, and the Lakers' position was temporarily stabilized.
When Odom is stable, he is definitely a man to be reckoned with. This person who claims to be able to play from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position is also quite efficient once he wields power.
This ball temporarily suppressed the Lakers' position, but the Suns' morale has been completely aroused by Zhang Chendi's slam dunk, and after the basketball dribbled through the half court in Nash's hands, the Suns completed one of the most classic team matches in the game.
Nash quickly interspersed to the outside of the three-point line, and then the rather penetrating basketball went directly to the hands of Xiao Si on the inside. It's just that Xiao Si's chances are not very good now, because the opponent's Gasol is pressed hard. Seeing that there was no offensive opportunity, Xiao Si passed the basketball to Marion next to him.
At this time, Bell stood on the right wing of the three-point line, Marion saw that he had no chance, and hurriedly passed the ball to Bale's hands, and the basketball did not stay in Bale's hands at all, directly penetrating a three-point line and appearing in Zhang Chen's hands.
Vujacic in front of Zhang Chen didn't figure out how the ball could quickly reincarnate in the hands of all the Suns players, so he didn't catch up in time to defend Zhang Chen's jumper.
Shots hit!
Zhang Chen hit three shots in a row and scored eight points, allowing the Suns to complete a good number of points of overtake.
In the next first quarter, Zhang Chen shot two balls and didn't hit, but this has nothing to do with the overall situation, because the morale of the Suns has been reinvigorated, and then thinking of the pressure they are now under on the top of the mountain, they are like wolves and tigers for a while, and every offense must be rewarded.
After Zhang Chen missed two consecutive shots, he took advantage of a timeout to return to his seat to rest, and then Barbosa came off the bench, and the old man talked about juvenile madness, shot a three-pointer, and broke through twice.
With the last minute left in the first quarter, the Lakers were already trailing by five points, and at this time, the Zen master called a timeout and replaced it with a figure that everyone didn't expect: Sun Yue, a player from China!
After all, Sun Yue came on the court just to allow Vujacic to get a fuller rest, and the Lakers' guard line basically didn't have much combat power without Kobe, so he had to pull out the players who were sent to the top of the cylinder.
Sun Yue had his own set of defenses, and in the final seconds of the game, Barbossa got a fast-break opportunity, three steps and two steps diagonally towards the three-point line. Then, at the moment when he was full of ambition to go to the basket, Sun Yue, who was two meters and three, suddenly appeared above him, and then, a big hand that covered the sky slapped Barbossa's basketball down.
The Lakers bench stood up and applauded him, and by this time the time was completely over, and Sun Yue returned to the bench and received a slightly different treatment than when he had just come to the bench. In the NBA, there is often not much favors to squander, and the best way for a person to gain recognition from other teammates is to improve his own strength and make everyone agree on your strength.
After Sun Yue's block, some teammates immediately saw the player who captured this defensive opportunity quite well.
As a result, the five sets of Celestial Dynasty Sports, which broadcast this game, also gained more talking points.
Director Zhang...... Looking at the current situation, is it possible for Zhang Chen and Sun Yue to meet face-to-face? Sun Zhenping asked.
Zhang Li said: "This is not necessarily...... To be honest, it's a good situation for both Chinese players to get a chance to play today, not to mention that Sun Yue also got a block in just one minute of playing time, Sun Yue's defensive ability is still a hand, maybe the coach will send him to defend Zhang Chen It is also reasonable, after all, when Kobe Bryant is not there, the Lakers' guard line is a little weak. ”
Barbosa walked down with a depressed face, and the last ball he had a full grasp of the layup, but who knew that Sun Yue suddenly jumped out, and immediately made a goal that should have been beautiful into a joke for people.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously glanced at the Lakers again and saw the handsome Sun Yue...... Suddenly I was a little annoyed in my heart, why did these Chinese, the guys who looked quite good, all seem to have a blood feud with themselves...... The second half was soon underway, with the benches on both sides not at the same level, at least at the back at the moment.
The Suns' guard bench has such a strong player as the Brazilian Lightning, as well as other interior helpers, and they played smoothly for a while, as for the interior bench lineups of both sides, it is also the Suns to have some advantages, after all, the Lakers' bench interior line is basically just a Kwame Brown.
Therefore, the second quarter came to an end in the cheers of the audience, wave after wave, and Zhang Chen sat next to the basketball court in the second quarter to watch the success or failure. In this quarter, Barbosa finally swept away the embarrassment of being slapped by Sun Yue and scored 7 points in a single quarter.
The first half of the game ended like this, the Lakers were already 9 points behind the Suns, and D'Antoni finally breathed a sigh of relief to see this first-half point difference.
Back in the locker room, everyone began to talk to each other about the battle just now, and D'Antoni walked in with a smile on his face:
"Hey guys, we did a great job in the first half! We overpowered our opponents with beautiful scoring and got the game off to a good start...... I think everyone knows that this game is very important, so we must continue this momentum in the second half......" After speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhang Chen and said: "Chen, you should be able to continue to play in the second half, remember that your goal is still to score, and use scoring to make it impossible for the opponent to take away the victory from our hands!" ”
Zhang Chen nodded, and the second half almost began.
At the beginning of the second half, the two sides quickly resumed their main lineups, and it was still Vujacic who defended Zhang Chen.
Obviously, the Lakers are also quite hungry for victory, and their current lineup is quite rhythmic, and everyone has a high morale in their eyes.
The game continues to begin.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the two sides were a little tepid, both sides scored a few goals, and at the same time hit several irons. So Vujacic began to imagine a little that Zhang Chen seemed to have a declining hand.
After getting this conclusion, Vujacic immediately began to feel a little comfortable, Zhang Chen's several shots suppressed him to the point of evil fire, but he did not have Zhang Chen's ability to see the score as if it were a bag.
Therefore, Vujacic began to be a little complacent in front of Zhang Chendi in another Suns offense, and the repeated battle between the two soon began.
Zhang Chen just threw three balls in a row, and now he is a little annoyed, but he is not discouraged by this, the shooter is like this, sometimes there is no feel at all, and at this time he needs to use a lot of balls to feed the feel.
"Get out of your seat!" The Lakers' defensive attention is still on Zhang Chen now, and their defense is also quite dense, so they pointed at the country with their fingers and shouted loudly at the same time.
The point guard is the temporary conductor on the court, and when he hears Nash's instructions, all the players are naturally no longer slacking off, the interior players are trying to carry the defenders to get out of position, and the outside players are starting to run without the ball.
The basketball was quickly transferred by Nash to Marion, who has a certain passing ability on the inside, and Marion and Nash also had a tacit understanding, and he immediately passed the basketball back shortly after Nash passed the ball in.
It's a pity that the Lakers' Odom reacted quickly and blocked in front of Nash, not allowing him to have a chance to shoot, Nash was in the air, and there was no chance to jump, just at this time, Zhang Chen had already thrown off Vujasic's defense and came to the right wing of the three-point line at 45 degrees.
"It won't go in!" Vujacic quickly ran towards Zhang Chen, thinking that Zhang Chen's hand should have dropped a lot.
It's just that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, Zhang Chendi's right hand is being held high, making that beautiful shooting gesture like a swan. And the basketball has already flown into the nets, and the net is blooming, so that the scoreboard has added three points again.
Vujacic wailed in his heart...... It's started again, this guy is here again!
With that goal, the Suns had an 11-point lead, and just one more chance would have been able to maintain a double-digit advantage.
It's just that the Lakers started a round of crazy offense, first Bynum on the inside missed a shot, then roared again and again, took off the rebound, and then immediately pulled it back up, and a slam dunk caused the Suns to 2+1......
Next, the Suns' offense didn't succeed, Bale's mid-range shot was missed, and the Lakers seized the opportunity to let Vujacic hit a three-pointer!
The point difference was immediately recovered by six points, and there were only five points left.
The Zen master glanced at D'Antoni, and a smile on his lips that looked a little inscrutable.
However, the Zen master's smile did not last long.
Zhang Chen felt that his hand should almost be restored, and now the Suns are still leading by five points, but they are chased by the opponent by six points in a row, and they still need to use goals to stabilize their position for a while.
"Steve...... Ball! Zhang Chen leaned his back against Vujacic and then asked Nash for the ball.
After many games of tacit understanding and trust established, Nash quickly passed the basketball to Zhang Chendi. Zhang Chen tentatively leaned his back back, holding the ball in both hands, and then turned his body to face Vujasic.
Wu Jacic has been eaten by Zhang Chenqiang many times, and he has already been a soldier, and this ball is even more difficult to judge, and at this time, Zhang Chen suddenly kicked his right leg on the ground hard, and then his body has risen from the ground.
"Oops...... This is a real jumper! Because Zhang Chen's sudden pull up caught Vujacic off guard, and now Vujacic can't fully judge Zhang Chendi's specific movements for a while, so he delayed the opportunity to defend.
Zhang Chen naturally uses a stop-and-go jump shot to deal with such a ball, his body keeps falling backwards, leaving the basketball out of his hands when he is at the highest in the air, and hits a stop-and-go jump shot!
"Beautiful!" Although it is an enemy now, the Zen master couldn't help but admire, and then recalled Zhang Chendi's shot in his heart, the more he looked at it, the more it looked like a more economical and labor-saving version of Kobe's back-to-back jumper.
However, the score that was finally recovered was soon only one point away from double digits in Zhang Chen's hands.
However, this matter did not stop because after the Lakers failed to score, Zhang Chen received another pass, this time, he directly took advantage of Vujacic's rather vague judgment of his offensive methods, broke through to the free throw line and scored two points again, and the score returned to double digits again.
Time and time again, the basketball in Zhang Chen's hand bombarded the Lakers' basket with precision, and by the time there were 5 minutes left in the third quarter, the Suns had a 13-point lead.
The Zen master couldn't help but call a timeout any longer.
At the same time, he has begun to secretly plan in his heart.
Now the Suns' full-line suppression of the Lakers is mainly reflected in the offense, and the Lakers' offense is less than Kobe, and after Kobe, there is one less scorer who can best turn the tide in a critical moment. And now the Suns have that number one person. Zhang Chen is a rather difficult player, and now it seems that his pace is not bad, his movement is quite adequate, and his shooting is boundlessly accurate.
Thinking of this, the Zen master frowned, and he quickly made a decision when the players were leaving the field.
Now his main goal is to suppress the Suns' offense, and the most important of them is to suppress Zhang Chen's offensive efficiency, so he can only choose a 4-1 joint defense, so that a guy who can keep up with Zhang Chen in speed and can be considered good in defense can defend Zhang Chen.
But who did this man let come? Vujasic is obviously impossible, just look at the appearance of that guy and know that he is impossible, just now he was eaten by Zhang Chen. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the number nine player who was stepping forward to encourage his teammates!
