After the start of the third quarter, Yang Chen and Kobe Bryant appeared again.

On the Suns’ side, personnel adjustments have been made.

Bledsoe, who played well in the first half, remained on the bench and Makieff Morris was not on the pitch.

After the start of the game, although the Suns lacked two key scoring players, Green Gerrard’s two breakthroughs took on the team’s offensive responsibility.

Gerard Green is a good scorer, and perhaps his defensive ability will be criticized by fans, but Gerard Green has absolutely no problem when it comes to scoring.

As the winner of the 2007 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, his impact ability is unquestionable, and in addition, his three-point shooting percentage is also able to maintain 40%.

Gerard Green used PJ Tucker’s blocking to dodge Lakers defenders and hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside.

Two three-pointers directly narrowed the gap to 5 points.

American Airlines Arena began shouting MVP slogans!

Obviously, the Suns fans at home are more satisfied with Gerard Green’s performance during this time.

The Lakers’ offense has been stalled in the opening stages of the third quarter.

On the one hand, Kobe Bryant has just come on the court and is still looking for a touch, and Yang Chen’s focus is on passing, and he is not much interested in scoring….

Yang Chen’s mission goal in this game was to complete 20 assists, and now he has only 5 assists!

In other words, Yang Chen needs to have 15 assists in the remaining two quarters.

In fact, in some ways, assists are more difficult than scoring.

After all, when Yang Chen passed the basketball to his teammates, whether his teammates could throw the basketball into it was no longer something that Yang Chen could control.

During this time, although Yang Chen continued to pass the ball, the Lakers’ offensive efficiency was not high.

The shooting percentage of players such as Kobe Bryant and Wesley Johnson showed a cliff-like decline.

Yang Chen’s passing can often only be a pass, but not an assist~

Of course, this also puts forward greater requirements for Yang Chen’s passing.

During this time, Yang Chen began to strengthen the number of individual breakthroughs in order to create scoring gaps for his teammates.

Even Yang Chen had to pass five Suns players in one go, and then pass the basketball to Jordan Hill under the basket.

All Jordan Hill needs to do next is put the basketball in the basket.

But this kind of assist method is too consuming Yang Chen’s physical strength and energy. So when he tried a few times, he felt physically and mentally exhausted.

For most of the third quarter, Yang Chen simply gave up passing, and he began to focus on the offensive end!

The Suns sent PJ Tucker to defend Yang Chen against him.

Pj Tucker is the representative of NBA 3D players.

He can contribute three-point shooting on the offensive end and limit opponents’ core players on the defensive end.

This type of player is a player that all NBA teams can’t look for.

In every championship team, there needs to be this type of player.

Pj Tucker’s status with the Suns is still relatively high, and he is even more important than the star Bledsoe.

“Hey Asian boy, your scoring show is over!”

Pj Tucker’s body was close to Yang Chen, and at the same time, his mouth also verbally stimulated Yang Chen.

Sure enough, every team defender has a habit of spraying garbage.

Yang Chen had long been immune to this kind of trash talk, and he said his mantra simply and clearly.

“I’m going to blow you up!!”

This kind of Yang Chen’s counterattack to PJ Tucker is also Yang Chen’s confidence.

After all…… Yang Chen does have the strength to burst Tucker!

In this confrontation, Yang Chen did not make unnecessary offensive moves, he stood on the three-point line, and under Tucker’s close-fitting interference, he still made a backward jumper!!

Tucker’s palm was almost poking Yang Chen’s eyes, but Yang Chen’s shot still fell into the basket accurately!

“Ugh~~”

Clean and crisp basketball landing sound.

Yang Chen’s three-pointer sounded the horn of the Lakers’ offense.

When Kobe Bryant and other Lakers players did not find an offensive rhythm, Yang Chen began to take on the team’s offensive tasks.

Three-point back-up jumpers, mid-range shots, dunks under the basket…

Yang Chen showed his unparalleled offensive talent!

The Lakers have also been leading the Suns by a tenth-point advantage.

But the good times did not last long, and when the Suns successively sent Bledsoe and Markieffe Morris, the Suns playing at home gradually shortened the point difference.

After Bledsoe came on the field, although the player he was facing was Yang Chen, Yang Chen has begun to focus on the offensive end.

On the defensive end, Yang Chen began to conserve his physical strength….

So Bledsoe, who just came to the court, relied on the advantage of physical strength and constantly hit the Lakers basket to score.

At the same time, on the inside, Markieff Morris also began to crush against Jordan Hill.

As we all know, the Lakers’ interior has always been their weakness, on the guard line, the Lakers have super players such as Kobe Bryant and Yang Chen, but in the inside, only one Jordan Hill can support the scene.

Once Jordan Hill is off the court, the Lakers’ interior will be open to Suns players!

Markieff Morris has been relatively low-key in the first two quarters, and he did not choose to take the initiative to attack.

But at this moment, Markieffe Morris finally revealed his terrifying strength.

Basically, rebounds will be grabbed by Markieff Morris, and as Jordan Hill’s fitness declines, Markieff Morris’s dominance under the basket becomes more and more obvious.

The Suns relied on Bledsoe’s combination with Markieffe Morris inside and out, and at the end of the third quarter, they once again narrowed the gap to 5 points!

Basically, the two teams are already on the same running line.

The Suns’ sudden counterattack also surprised the fans at the scene.

After seeing Yang Chen’s excellent performance, Suns fans originally thought that the home team would definitely lose!

But the Suns’ players used their hard work to catch up with the score.

By the end of the third quarter, Yang Chen had scored 35 points, but Yang Chen had only 8 assists.

Still 12 assists away from the goal.

Yang Chen can only pin his hopes on Kobe.

As the big guy on the team, as long as Kobe can find the shooting touch, it is not too difficult to cut 20 points in a single quarter.

In order to let Kobe find the shooting touch as soon as possible, after the start of the fourth quarter, Yang Chen also began to pass the basketball to Kobe Bryant.

Of course, every time Yang Chen passes the ball, he will try to attract the defenders around Kobe as much as possible, and then give the basketball to Kobe.

That is to say, after Kobe Bryant receives a pass, he will form a gap shooting opportunity.

As a top NBA player, knowing how to adjust your hand during a game is a must-do.
