The Nuggets exerted pressure at home and won two consecutive games, which not only allowed them to get the match point, but also brought the team's overall offense and defense to a higher level.
After the game, the Nuggets fans in the stands pumped their fists and shouted, cheering for the team.
In the domestic studio, Directors Yu Jia and Zhang were summarizing.
"The Nuggets defended their two home games and got the match point. They are only one step away from the Western Conference Finals."
"The Suns made changes and focused on Li Yan, but the effect was not satisfactory."
"Li Yan scored fewer points, but his role on the court was more prominent."
"Li Yan got a super quadruple-double. He played a dominant performance on both offense and defense."
"In the first round, Li Yan crushed the new generation of powerful point guard Deron Williams. In the second round, he faced two-time regular season MVP Steve Nash without any inferiority.
There is no doubt that Li Yan has grown into the top point guard in the NBA. "
After Li Yan finished the interview, he gave the sneakers to the young fans waiting by the player tunnel.
This can also be regarded as a kind of publicity for the brand. With Li Yan's continuous high-profile performance, Anta has also gained a lot of popularity in the United States.
Compared to the United States, Li Yan's popularity is even crazier in China on the other side of the ocean.
The front pages of major sports websites and the discussion sections of sports forums are all related to Li Yan.
Many fans are looking forward to Li Yan winning the championship this season, which will be the highest honor for a Chinese player in the NBA.
Although Battelle also won a championship ring with the Spurs before, his role is completely incomparable with Li Yan.
In addition, more fans are looking forward to Li Yan wearing the national team jersey and joining forces with Yao Ming.
The combination of super insiders and top outsiders is also an absolute king in the international arena.
At this time, the Chinese men's basketball team is still the absolute hegemon in Asia and can compete with European teams.
The previous best performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympics was the quarterfinals. Many Chinese fans want to look forward to the Beijing Olympics that will be held at home.
After Li Yansheng finished the interview, he took "Taylor Swift" home with him.
There are a bunch of unread messages on his phone. There is nothing he can do about it. When Li Yan became famous in the NBA, his popularity became very good.
More and more "acquaintances" will give "concern" and "congratulations".
Li Yan skillfully sent a mass reply of "Thank you", which was very concise and efficient.
While Swift was taking a shower, Li Yan turned on the TV and watched the other three series.
There is not much suspense in the two sets of semifinals in the Eastern Conference.
The Pistons and Cavaliers both led 3-1 and got the match point. They are only one step away from meeting in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Spurs in the Western Conference faced no resistance.
It was a complete surprise that the Spurs met the Warriors. The veteran Spurs did not give the Warriors any chance and carried them away 4-0.
In the TNT program, both Barkley and Smith believed that the Nuggets would win the series and compete with the Spurs for tickets to the Finals.
The 3-1 lead is indeed huge, and it will be difficult to complete a comeback.
Many football critics and experts believe that based on the current situation, if nothing unexpected happens, the Nuggets will send the Suns away directly in G5 on the road.
In fact, what experts say is just a joke, and this is the same whether at home or abroad.
G5 returned to Phoenix, and the Suns played an extremely efficient game at the American Airlines Center.
The Suns no longer deliberately change their tactics to target the Nuggets, they are brave enough to be themselves.
Don't underestimate the team that ranks first in the league in offensive efficiency. After the opening, the Suns' three-pointers started.
Nash, Raja Bell, and Marion all made three-pointers. They are feeling hot today.
On the defensive end, with the support of their home court, they gave the Nuggets enough confrontation.
Anthony was in a foul crisis. He received 5 fouls early and was forced to leave the game early to rest.
Two consecutive high-intensity runs made Iverson look very tired. Even with Li Yan's blessing, his offensive efficiency was not high.
Li Yan could only provoke the offensive. With the "power bank" to last, Li Yan played very unrestrainedly.
It's just that the "golden guns" are in a sluggish state. Even with the help of JR Smith, Li Yan's own firepower is not enough to extinguish the sun.
As a last resort, Li Yan got stuck on bUg again and used the "Mamba Spirit" passive.
It's just that God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. When Li Yan reached 6 levels of passive, he started killing everyone.
D'Antoni's long pause directly consumed half of Li Yan's bUff duration.
Then, Stoudemire attacked the basket and caused Marcus Camby to foul.
Walking to the free throw line and "inking", the "Mamba Mentality" bUff time is just consumed.
The "Mamba Mentality" bUff lasted only two three-pointers, and Li Yan's heart was bleeding.
He failed to use bUff's blessing to complete the comeback, but Li Yan did not give up yet, and he fought until the end.
In the end, the Suns defeated the Nuggets 112-102 at home, rewriting the score to 2-3!
Li Yan scored 31 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. His statistics were still very good. Iverson's 22 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals were quite satisfactory.
"Melon" Anthony, who made 6 of 22 shots in the game, became a "Class A war criminal." He forced one-on-one many times when the Nuggets launched a counterattack.
However, "Melon" was in average condition tonight, and without the blessing of Li Yan bUff, it was even worse. After 3 quarters, "Melon" directly became "Bitter Melon".
Domestic netizens joked: Anthony took the most credit for the Suns' victory today. If he didn't come, the Suns wouldn't even dare to open a table.
The Nuggets rushed back to Denver overnight, and they couldn't afford to miss anything in G6.
After the Suns won the game, there was no big celebration. This victory was what they had to win.
In today's game, the Nuggets' Anthony and Iverson were both in poor condition, and the Nuggets obviously did not have the consciousness to compete with the Suns.
Because there is an escape route, the Nuggets lack the momentum to give up.
Facing strong confrontation, the Nuggets did not play resolutely in many rounds.
But even so, the Suns were still dragged to the last minute by the Nuggets.
In G6, the Nuggets will definitely fight hard when they return to their home court.
At that time, it is the moment of decisive battle!
