King of Basketball

233 The first game of the playoffs

Unlike the Nuggets, the generals of several teams on the Suns are quite calm. Anyway, everyone has some guidance on the momentum of laughter. Of course, there are many of them - for example, Zhang Chen, this guy is actually not very able to understand the symbolic meaning of the playoffs, so he is still laughing heartlessly. .

The person who seems to have been frowned in this team is D'Antoni. When he didn't let himself affect the momentum of the Suns, D'Antoni didn't show his worries on his face, at least he didn't let his players notice it, 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 also a hotbed for miracles. How many teams have fallen into the playoffs, and how many teams have emerged in the playoffs?

Teams in the playoffs often can't be measured by common sense. They have the strongest offensive quality, and they have an inexhaustible motivation. After all, this playoff is a season of 82 games. Once eliminated, you have to start all over again. This feeling is the most frustrating, that kind of The feeling of dissipating at the end of a season, everyone and every team don't want to interpret it.

Under such circumstances, the playoffs have become the most unstable game.

In order to avoid becoming a tragedy, the strong team has to play every game desperately in order to become the lucky miracle.

"Hey hey hey... attack! Leandro, did you eat poop this morning? Don't tell me that that's your ultimate speed..." De Anthony shouted at Barbosa in the basketball court. Now Barbosa is trying to break through, and Zhang Chen is defending him. Barbosa is upset and just wants to tell De Anthony: Come up and try to get through this pervert with speed?

This is the last team match before the playoffs. They have to use their tactics against the Nuggets, and it is better to practice proficiency. This is the significance of this team match. Of course, everyone's performance so far is not bad, but Zhang Chen is a relatively large one in the team. In addition to the routine that must follow the command of the point guard, Zhang Chen can generally choose whether to break through or end the attack with a shot.

D'Antony nodded secretly. He was surprised to find that Zhang Chen's speed seemed to have broken through a little, which made him think that this guy was really incredible. Alan, the team trainer standing next to D'Antony, was so excited that his eyes were shining and he was ready to take Zhang Chen over to slice and study.

After the end of the team competition, everyone sat on the stool and was out of breath. There will be some training tomorrow, but that kind of training is more of a more proficient mastery of tactics. Players need to save their physical strength and save their physical strength in the playoffs.

"Okay... that's all for today." As soon as D'Antoni said this, he found that the person below was dressed neatly and was about to flash away. Suddenly, he felt that it was dark in front of him 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... Please keep your physical strength tonight, because For you, you will face a vicious opponent in the playoffs. They have the answer to this guy who once frightened everyone in the league, and Cameron, a scoring maniac, which we need to work hard to overcome... Well, come on."

The big guys superimposed their arms one after another, and then shook them away: "Victory!" However, at the moment he shook off his right hand, Zhang Chen sensed a kind of solemnity in the last game between the Suns and the Spurs, and even surpassed it. Even Xiao Si, who usually laughs, is now also serious. Everyone is shouting victory with an almost sacred voice of worship.

They broke up like this today. After returning to his residence, he received a text message from Avril and a text message from Lena. They were all wishing him good luck. Sean also called Zhang Chen. The little guy didn't have much free time after regular training, but he said that he would definitely come to watch the game between the Suns and the Nuggets tomorrow. It can be heard that he is also one of the Phoenix fans. They just want to see the Suns win.

"This is a life-and-death game... After several seasons of halberd sinking, Allen? Iverson is eager to find the answer that really belongs to him. At the same time, Cameron, the best player in class of 2003, also hopes to get the highest honor after his good friend Dwyane. Therefore, although the Nuggets' record in the regular season is far from the Suns, they are sure I will fight for my last drop of blood... There is no doubt that the Suns will face a difficult game. This is the beginning of the volume used in the outlook for this game in the official Phoenix fan newspaper.

"We believe in the Suns, Phoenix Phoenix will usher in their rebirth after two failed seasons!" This is the title of Phoenix's official Chinese website, and there are only four big words in Zhang Chen's official Chinese website: the wind roars.

Several Zhang Chen fans in mainland China have also said that they want to go to Phoenix to watch the first two wars that must be Mars and hit the earth. However, it is somewhat surprising that Zhang Chen also has a large number of fans in Taiwan. They also organized a team of about 40 people to go to Phoenix. Watch the game between the Sun and the Nuggets.

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

"Hey, what's the matter? I'm busy. It's almost time for the game.

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

Hearing that Liu Xuan was about to leave, Zhang Chen was a little reluctant and said, "Okay... just watch me kill everywhere."

"Well, I'm waiting. Let me tell you, today's game is the focus of attention from all over the world. This game is broadcast live in the United States, and it is also the full live broadcast of the five sets of Tianchao Sports. Moreover, many of your fans came to China, who deliberately put down their work and came to Phoenix, and there is another Some Taiwanese fans are also here... Victory is not just about you."

When Liu Xuan talked about the words of the live broadcast in front of him, Zhang Chen himself already knew it. However, when Liu Xuan talked about the enthusiasm of the compatriots behind him, Zhang Chen was still a little touched. Finally, he said that I would work hard, and then he put down the phone.

Then, the game party began to play in the dark playing field. As the DJs became famous one by one, everyone stared at the one-meter light above their heads and trotted all the way to the court. Suddenly, the audience cheered, cheered, or applauded. When Zhang Chen used to come to the light and accept everyone's worship, he found that people's cheers were different from usual, and they were much bigger than the previous ones.

All kinds of cheers, applause and whistles hit Zhang Chen's ears, as if he had gone through a reincarnation. When he first stepped into the stadium, the audience was not very interested in him. At most, it was drum applause. In comparison, the current cheers have become the witness of Zhang Chen's footprints. .

When the lights were completely on, the crowd next to the court appeared in front of them. They were still cheering for Zhang Chen and others, and basically everyone put on the white T-shirt at the Suns' home court, as if they had seen a continuous white wave in the distance.

The atmosphere of the playoffs and the regular season is too strong, and the team's attendance is much higher than usual. From the above, we can see the attention of this game.

The jump ball is about to begin. Zhang Chen saw the opposite Iverson, who had completely entered the state. The 32-year-old Iverson's face had left traces of time, but his focused expression was as similar as when he first entered the league. Although I have seen Iverson's breakthrough many times on the big screen of the meticulous learning space that can't be said to be several dimensions, and it is not the first time to meet the Nuggets, Iverson is a player that Zhang Chen used to like very much, and he still unconsciously looked over there during the game.

The jump ball begins!

"Bang!" The basketball was slapped by Nash by Xiao Si, the first ball of the Suns in the playoffs of this season! Nash kept approaching the opponent's half when he received the basketball. He was so fast that he had pushed the half for a moment.

The first ball in the playoffs had a great impact on the team's momentum. Nash also wanted to grab the first one, so his speed was full of fire in an instant. However, at this moment, Iverson had chased Nash and immediately stretched out his right hand to take advantage of Nash's ball.

Iverson, who has been struggling in the league for 12 years, will naturally not do too much gambling and defensive stupid things. He is just a sham. Sure enough, Nash also paused in order to get out of the steal that once won three steals. Taking advantage of such a rhythm, the Nuggets' defensive players have already All right, Nash's fast attack is basically useless.

However, Nash's speed is still there, and his accurate pass is still there. 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.

He received a pass, but Smith, who defended Zhang Chen, was still on Zhang Chen's side. Suddenly, Zhang Chen happened to the rhythm of time and took a big step into the inside line in an instant. With just one step, he completely shook off Smith's defense. Smith hurriedly caught up with him, only to find that this guy seemed to be faster than Iverson in their team!

It was not only Smith who found this, but also Iverson, who was entangled with Nash outside the three-point line. He just saw Zhang Chen's first step past Smith and immediately couldn't move his eyes. Zhang Chen's speed made his pupils suddenly shrink!

It's too fast! Tear as fast as lightning! And it seems that this guy has blocked his skill because of his bad ball control skills... How can he be so fast? The last time he met the Suns, he was just a mobile fort of the Suns.

Now...how is it possible? Iverson really felt a little horrible. A guy of 2.3 meters used his own speed... This really made him feel indescribable, and at the same time, his heart was a little decadent - maybe I'm really old.

Zhang Chen threw away Smith in one step, and the second step away Anthony. Then he picked up the basketball and used an arc speed. He immediately entered the deep place under the basket and jumped into the basket!

"Bang!"

The crisp sound of the cap stopped everyone's idea of cheering. Zhang Chen's basket was ruthlessly covered by the inside line of the Nuggets, but the capping method was crisp and neat, without any dragging. Zhang Chen was stunned: I was covered?

This is the first time that Zhang Chen has been capped after creating his own arc flashing tricks, and his first playoff trip was capped by the other party, which made him lose his mind for a short time, and the basketball was also played out of the boundary line. The referee raised his hand and gave the basketball to the Suns.

Originally, blocking this kind of thing is common, but this ball has seriously hit Zhang Chen's confidence. The basketball court is changing rapidly, and the theory of momentum is quite easy to find the market here. When a team's person is hit by the other party's big hat or is heavily bucked by the other party, the other party will be affected to a certain extent. ( This is really not empty... Let's take a look at this year's playoffs between the Hornets and the Lakers. In the fifth game, the Hornets were still powerful at the beginning... But after the heavy deduction, the Hornets can no longer stand up... There are many examples like this.) The opening ball of the Suns was a little bad, and Zhang Chen also had a fire in his heart, but he did not realize the serious atmosphere between the real punch-flesh attack and defense in the playoffs, and the crazy attack and defense conversion. The Suns began to serve. After passing through Bell's transit station, the ball came to Marion on the inside line. Marion began to lay, and was finally disturbed by his opponent, and the basketball missed 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 rights came to the Nuggets. Compared with Nash and others, Iverson's organization was not what he was best at. He was still more suitable to break through the score. Then Zhang Chen found that Nash's defense was much more serious than in the regular season. Although he still couldn't prevent Iverson, Zhang Chen could see that Nash had done his best.

The competition between two level 9 and 6 brothers immediately opened everyone's eyes wide. Iverson shook left and right after a ** dribble. Nash was already a little shaky, but when he saw that Iverson seemed to pass by him, Nash suddenly abruptly blocked Iverson again.

Iverson slightly outlined a smile at the corners of his mouth, and then he dribbled two times in a row and picked up a change of direction. This violent change of direction was still caught off guard after the 32-year-old Iverson used it. Nash was finally passed by Iverson, and Iverson plunged into the mountains of the Suns.

"Replenish the defense!" Nash immediately began to roar when he was passed by Iverson. Several insiders had actually reacted, and everyone could see that they did their best to defend Iverson.

However, when Iverson was determined to score, although he was 32, there were still not many people who could stop him. He forced Marion with speed, and then began to jump up the basket in front of Xiao Si.

Xiao Si has been waiting for the opportunity and stood behind Iverson. When he jumped up, he also stretched out his right hand to cover it. However, Iverson's body in the sky was still cunning and strange. After the basketball passed a big windmill in his hand, it happened to let go of Xiao Si's right hand and gently hit it. The basket finally bounced into the net.

There is no doubt that this is a good ball. Iverson's deft body floats into the inside line like fallen leaves, and the opponent is elusive. Although Zhang Chen has seen a lot of Iverson's breakthroughs, he can't help but want to give a thumbs up to this breakthrough, especially the basket of his last windmill, which is so wonderful to grasp the space, time and rhythm between him and Xiao Si, making his sale just in the gap.

A person of 1.83 meters walked through a crowd of more than two meters, and he had already been perfect for these things.

Iverson's breakthrough was successful, allowing the two sides to achieve their first draw after 45 seconds of the game. The basketball passed the half of the game in Nash's hands. Zhang Chen soon found that Smith seemed to be very interested in him, spared no effort in his defense, and even mixed with some small things in the middle. Action.

Smith's defense made him a little disgusted, but Zhang Chen increasingly found that the atmosphere was wrong, because he felt that many things today seemed to have changed, and everyone seemed to have the effect of inexplicably beating chicken blood.

In the Suns' attack, Nash passed the ball to Bell, and Bell Base passed the ball directly to Marion, who went straight from the inside line. Marion succeeded in the air, and the Suns led by two points again.

Marion's ball is also remarkable. Bell's pass is also quite in place, just so that Marion can receive the ball. Almost all the players who have advanced in the Suns can have a good shot and an occasional flash pass. Even Zhang Chen can occasionally pass a few good balls to his teammates, so that they can Score more easily.

The first few balls are very important to both sides. In this attack, the Nuggets passed the basketball to Melon Anthony, and Anthony began to play singles against Bell's back. To be honest, Bell's defense is still okay. It can even be said to be NO.1 in the Suns, but it is impossible for him to completely defend Anthony's level of players.

After Anthony leaned against Bell, he suddenly made a sudden retreat jump shot. It could be seen that his hand was very smooth, and the basketball flew into the basket almost parallel. It was not beautiful, but it had a special hard feeling.

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