The rise of basketball legends

A day later, the Suns continued to play at home, this time against the Los Angeles Clippers.

This is already the second time the Suns have played against the Clippers this season. The two teams are in the Pacific Division, and there will be four games each season.

The Clippers' goal this season is a lottery pick, and the Suns' goal this season is to win the championship. Naturally, there is not much suspense in this game.

In the end, the Suns beat the Clippers 108 to 85 at home.

The Suns still blossomed in this campaign, and 7 players scored in double figures. This is the easiest way to win.

Chen Yan played for about two and a half quarters, scored 17 points and 5 assists, and entered garbage time before he started to exert his strength.

For the Clippers, Brand was injured, and Maggette scored a team-high 25 points and 5 rebounds. The statistics look good, but anyone who has watched the game knows that it is all brushed, and has no effect on the trend of the game. .

After winning the Clippers, the Suns will pack their bags and start a week-long road trip.

The first stop on the road trip is Dallas.

Since being hacked by the Warriors last season, the Mavericks have become the laughing stock of the entire league, and Nowitzki, the core of the team, has been labeled as a softie, the most embarrassing MVP in history and other embarrassing labels.

This season, the German chariot has a lot of energy in his heart, and he wants to make a comeback to prove himself to the outside world!

During the summer offseason, the owner of the Mavericks, Cuban, hired Ray Allen, an all-star helper for Nuo Tianwang. The arrival of Gentleman Ray will further enhance the Mavericks' outside firepower. No matter how the media and various experts ridicule, this season The Mavericks are still one of the favorites to win.

The game started quickly, and Nowitzki hit two mid-range jumpers in a row as soon as he came up.

With a height of 211cm and all kinds of golden rooster independent backs, Nuo Tianwang is almost unstoppable in one-on-one singles. Whether he can enter or not depends entirely on his own feel.

Nowitzki had a very smooth hand tonight. He scored 23 points at halftime, including 8 of 6 three-pointers!

In addition to Nuo Tianwang, Ray Allen also scored 5 three-pointers in the halftime tonight.

The two sharpshooters teamed up to rain a three-pointer at the American Airlines Center!

In the second half, the Mavericks' offensive continued unabated, and the home fans shouted loudly. The Suns were completely suppressed in terms of momentum tonight.

Although the Suns played an 3-11 spurt under the leadership of Chen Yan in the last 3 minutes, they were still powerless.

The front has fallen too far behind, and the Suns have to accept the ending of an away loss.

In the end, the Dallas Mavericks beat the Suns 111-103 at home.

The performance of the Suns team tonight was quite satisfactory. Five players scored in double figures. Both Chen Yan and Stoudemire contributed a team-high 5 points.

但无奈小牛全员外线爆种，诺天王和雷阿伦全场联手贡献了14记三分，另外特里外线4中2、约什-霍华德2中2、埃迪-琼斯2中1、斯塔克豪斯3中1......

The sun can be said to be cast to death by the calf tonight.

This kind of loss makes people lose their temper. A season is very long, there are 82 games, and there will always be games where the opponent's outside touch is overwhelming.

After losing to the Mavericks, the Suns don't have much time to organize and reflect. They will go to Salt Lake City one day later to challenge the Utah Jazz!

The Jazz are currently ranked sixth in the Western Conference. Their record is in the top four in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately, the Western Conference is too aggressive this year. The Suns, Lakers, Spurs, Hornets and Mavericks all have the strength to compete for the championship. The Blazers also have a sudden emergence According to signs, the combination of the Nuggets and the Rockets Yao Mai is not a vegetarian.

In such a big environment, it is currently ranked sixth in the Western Conference, which shows that the Jazz still has something.

Among the top 8 teams in the West, the Jazz is obviously the bleakest star. The biggest name of this team is coach Jerry Sloan. Boozer and Deron Williams are under his guidance Only then did they shine, and the two of them in the previous life obviously dropped a level after leaving the Jazz system.

But in the hands of Sloan, the two of them are the new Utah Shuangsha who are killing the Quartet!

The Utah Jazz played a classic pick-and-roll in the opening game. Deron kept hitting the inside to score points, and Boozer also scored jumpers.

The sun fell into a state of collective misfire.

Back-to-back + Devil's home game made all the Suns lost. They only scored a poor 18 points in the first quarter, and the team made 6 of 0 three-pointers. They collectively became ice shooters!

This is undoubtedly fatal for a team that has always been dominated by jumpers.

In the second quarter, the state of the Suns did not improve. D'Antoni saw that the outside line could not be played for a long time and changed the tactical arrangement, allowing Chen Yan to hit the basket with the ball and cause damage!

This tactical deployment has achieved certain results. After halftime, Chen Yan helped the Suns chase the score to single digits.

At the beginning of the second half, the white center Okur stepped forward and made two three-pointers at the top of the arc, opening the gap again amidst the loud cheers of the fans.

Nash continued to thread the needle, but his teammates couldn't play for a long time. Chen Yan relied on his personal breakthrough to score 35 points in this game, but the team still couldn't escape the defeat.

The feeling of empty cutting is very uncomfortable, and the feeling of losing streak is even more uncomfortable. After the game, Chen Yan hurriedly accepted the reporter's interview and returned to the team bus.

The next day, the domestic media played all kinds of headlines boasting about Chen Yan, such as why 35 points are hard to save, and the team still scored 35 points in adversity...

Some media even sent out the news that the Suns teammate was dragging Chen Yan back. Chen Yan took a look and closed the webpage. He didn't care about these remarks.

Chen Yan knew that the abilities of the teammates around him were online, everyone was in a bad state, and he didn't perform well on the outside in the last game.

In the next two games, the Suns won one and lost one.

On December 12, all members of the Suns went to San Antonio.

That's right, their last opponent on the road trip is the sworn enemy Spurs!

The Suns have lost three of the last five games, and the whole team had a short meeting after training. They wanted to beat the deadly enemy through this game to complete the rebound!

"Chen! Look here!"

"Chen, give me an autograph!"

"Come on! Chen, continue to be aggressive on the offensive end tonight!"

During the warm-up, Chen Yan kept hearing the fans cheering for him from the sidelines.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't Spurs fans who turned their backs on the spot. These were all Texas Longhorns fans from Chen Yan's college days.

Austin is less than an hour's drive from San Antonio, and many fans of the Texas Longhorns drove to the scene to support Chen Yan.

Chen Yan found that many of them were old faces. Chen Yan waved to them, and chatted with them on the sidelines like old friends after the warm-up.

It has been half a year since he left the NCAA, and there are still many fans wearing college jerseys to support him. This feeling is great.
