Chapter 142 Punching Gary Payton, kicking Derek McKay, is it okay to fight and dribble?
The first round of the playoffs at this time is a five-match three-win system, and the method adopted is 2-2-1, that is, the team with a record advantage will take the lead in playing two games at their own home court.
Since the Lakers rank fifth in the West and the Sonics rank fourth in the West, the Sonics have home court advantage. The first two games will be played at the Sonics' home court first.
Home court advantage in the playoffs is actually much more important than in the regular season, which is why many teams want to have home court advantage.
For this game, the Sonics coach and players are full of confidence.
Although the Lakers have Ye Qingchen and were defeated by the Lakers in the regular season, they still have absolute confidence in this round of playoffs.
Especially the head coach George Karl, who started coaching the Sonics in the middle of the season, and after he started coaching the Sonics, he achieved very obvious results.
42 regular season games have achieved a record of 27 wins and 15 losses. This winning percentage has exceeded [-]%, so the Supersonics' coach change this time is quite a success.
Similarly, George Karl still has great confidence in this series. He even encouraged the Supersonic players before the game:
"The playoffs are the stage to prove our strength. I hope you can show 100% strength and let the Los Angeles Lakers know how strong we are!"
George Karl's words made the players very excited and excited, because after George Karl coached the Sonics, their record has indeed improved a lot, and everyone is full of confidence in George Karl.
In addition, the playoffs themselves are a different stage, which makes the players look forward to it even more.
On the other hand, for the Lakers, for entering the playoffs, many players on the team have already experienced it, so they are not very excited.
Generally speaking, only players who are entering the playoffs for the first time will be nervous, such as rookies or sophomores.
However, from Ye Qingchen's face, neither the Lakers players nor the coach could see any nervous expression.
This made them very emotional. Ye Qingchen is indeed a player with a big heart. It is really rare for him to be so calm on his first playoff trip.
Players from both sides have already started their respective warm-ups.
When Ye Qingchen was warming up for shooting, he also looked at the lineup of the supersonic team in the opposite half.
The star of this Supersonic team is undoubtedly "Rain Man" Kemp, and his strength in the interior is quite good.
As for the backcourt, Gary Payton is in charge. He was the second pick in the 1990 draft. This is his second season. Although his scoring average is not very high, his assists have risen to double digits. It has already proved that his organizational ability cannot be underestimated.
Coupled with guard Ricky Pierce, the Supersonic team has a strong lineup. Ye Qingchen clearly remembers that in the 1992 playoffs, the Supersonic team's opponent was the Warriors, and they defeated the Warriors with a score of 3:1. The Warriors made it to the Western Conference Semifinals.
Therefore, the strength of the Sonics is much stronger than before the start of the season.
Moreover, the offense advocated by George Karl is actually similar to Don Nelson of the Warriors. It also requires the team's offense to be fast-paced and efficient.
Therefore, Ye Qingchen feels that today's game may not be easy to play. Although he is very strong, overall, the Supersonic players will be a bit stronger than the Lakers.
However, as the Lakers broke into the playoffs, James Worthy finally announced his comeback, which will greatly enhance the strength of the Lakers.
Moreover, when James Worthy saw Ye Qingchen's performance throughout the season, he finally accepted the role of Ye Qingchen's team leader.
He knows that compared with Ye Qingchen, his only advantage is experience. As for other things, he has nothing compared to Ye Qingchen. He can't get it.
This game was broadcast live across the United States, and many fans were curious about Ye Qingchen's first trip to the playoffs.
Of course, many fans and celebrities felt that Ye Qingchen's first trip to the playoffs might not be stable enough, because he was really young.
Throughout the history of the NBA, Magic Johnson can be regarded as the most prominent player who can enter the playoffs and perform well in his rookie season.
After Magic Johnson entered the league's first season, he led the Lakers to the finals together with "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and when "Sky Hook" was absent due to injury in the sixth game, Magic Johnson Turning on the single-core scoring mode, he finally defeated his opponent, won the first championship trophy in his career, and won the finals MVP.
Therefore, Magic Johnson's rookie season can be regarded as quite successful.
Although Ye Qingchen is also known as the successor of Magic Johnson, and he also performed very well in the regular season.
But this is the playoffs, and many times those who receive too much attention will lose themselves in the game because of this.
As for how the performance was, one really had to take a good look at Ye Qingchen's final performance in this match before making a conclusion.
After the warm-up was over, the referee blew the whistle to start the game!
In the first round of the 1991-1992 NBA playoffs in the West, the first game of the Lakers VS Sonics officially started!
The starting lineup for the Lakers is:
Byron Scott, Keith Owens, Ye Qingchen, Verati Divac, James Worthy.
The Sonics' starting lineup is:
Sean Kemp, Ricky Pierce, Derek McKay, Gary Payton, Michael Cage.
Ye Qingchen's main position today is the third position, which happens to be facing Sean Kemp.
The two inside players on the Sonics are Derek McKay and Michael Cage, both of whom are only [-] meters tall.
"Rain Man" Sean Kemp is [-] meters tall, but because of his mobility, the head coach George Karl let him play the small forward position, so that he can better display his strength on the offensive end.
The cooperation between Gary Payton and Sean Kemp has become more and more proficient, and the pick-and-roll between the two will cause a lot of trouble for the opponent.
With the completion of the jump ball link between the two sides, the game finally started.
The Sonics were the first to get the ball. Gary Payton slowly dribbled the ball across half court, waiting for the cover of his teammates at the top of the arc.
Sean Kemp quickly stepped forward to cover Gary Payton, and Gary Payton quickly broke through to the three-second zone through the cover.
The inside players of the Lakers quickly double-teamed, but at this time Ye Qingchen focused on Sean Kemp.
Ye Qingchen never let go of his defense against Sean Kemp. He soon noticed that after covering, Sean Kemp quickly cut inside and began to adjust his pace.
Sean Kemp's prelude immediately made Ye Qingchen realize that he was going to jump and catch the ball to complete the alley-oop!
really!
When Gary Payton attracted the Lakers inside players Divac and James Worthy to double-team, he threw the ball directly into the air!
Campo followed up and took off in time, ready to catch the ball with both hands and complete the dunk. This has been done countless times with him and Gary Payton, and there will be no accidents!
However, in front of Ye Qingchen, many accidents will happen, such as this time!
Ye Qingchen predicted Gary Payton's alley-oop pass in advance, and he even took the lead before Kemp took off.
Even in the process of jumping to intercept the alley-oop pass, Ye Qingchen was already thinking about how to complete the transition fast break.
Under Kemp's horrified eyes, Ye Qingchen confiscated the basketball with one hand.
After landing, Ye Qingchen turned around and looked in the direction of the front field.
Byron Scott and Keith Owens knew Ye Qingchen well. When they saw Ye Qingchen take off to intercept the alley-oop, they turned around and rushed forward.
Their running direction is the direction of the two bottom corners of the frontcourt. Keith Owens runs to the left corner and Byron Scott runs to the right corner.
Ye Qingchen found Keith Owens at the first time, and made a strong long pass in the quarter-point style. The basketball flew in front of Keith Owens like a cannonball. After Keith Owens caught the basketball, it was already Came to the bottom corner on the left.
Without any hesitation, he opened his hand and made a three-pointer!
The Sonics players did not expect the Lakers to counterattack so fast. In addition, they were not familiar with the running positions of the two backcourt players of the Lakers, so their first reaction was to run to the inside and carry out the attack. Back to defense.
But never expected that Keith Owens would shoot directly from beyond the three-point line!
"Shh!"
Hollow hit!
0: 3!
The Lakers took the lead in scoring first blood!
The Lakers' offense this time caught the Sonics by surprise.
George Karl on the sidelines was surprised by the Lakers' defense + offense this time. He didn't expect that the cooperation between Gary Payton and Kemp would be seen through by Ye Qingchen, and the Lakers' offensive rhythm was very fast.
Thinking of this, George Karl hurriedly made a gesture to Gary Payton who was about to dribble across the half court. This is another offensive tactic gesture.
After Gary Payton saw this gesture, he nodded and quickly dribbled the ball across half court.
This time, it was Ricky Pierce who cooperated with Gary Payton.
Under the cover of his teammates, Ricky Pierce kept running back, and finally got rid of the Lakers' defense and appeared at a 45-degree angle on the left. Gary Payton's pass was in place in time.
Catch and shoot, good rhythm, hold on!
3: 3!
Ricky Pierce immediately responded to the Lakers' counter-attack three-pointer just now!
The Sonics fans at the scene were quite satisfied with the home team's attack. They shouted Ricky Pierce's name loudly and cheered for him.
Ye Qingchen sighed in his heart, as expected, the playoffs were the playoffs, and every player on the Supersonic team was very active.
The quality of their off-ball screens is high, and it's very difficult to chase Ricky Pierce off their screens.
For this result, Ye Qingchen had expected it.
Here, after Byron Scott dribbled the ball across half court, Divac on the inside came to the top of the arc to cooperate with him in a pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll was completed, not only did Divac not go down the inside line, but instead bounced outside the three-point line.
After Byron Scott passed the ball back to Divac, he quickly penetrated inside.
Gary Payton followed up in time!
Little did he know that the object of Divac's pass was not Byron Scott at all, but Ye Qingchen!
Originally, Ye Qingchen had been standing at a 45-degree angle to the left, but when Byron Scott cut inside, he deftly ran back and played a trick on Kemp.
Ye Qingchen pretended to run to the outside line, but actually wanted to rush to the inside line.
Kemp was easily escaped by Ye Qingchen!
Divac threw the basketball directly towards the basket!
Ye Qingchen has come to the inner line at this moment and leaped high!
Catch the basketball with both hands!
Explode a buckle!
3: 5!
The Lakers' offense this time was quite smooth and organized, which made the Sonics players on the scene very depressed.
The old Dengtou on the sidelines is quite satisfied with the Lakers' offense this time, and Divac's passing skills are getting more and more proficient.
George Karl's face was full of solemn expressions, and he was shocked by the tactical quality displayed by the Lakers.
In the past, the Lakers would only hand the ball to Magic Johnson and let him sort out the team's offense.
Even after the start of this season, the Lakers' offense relied on Ye Qingchen's organization to complete.
But now it's different, the Lakers actually have a big man inside who can pass the ball, Ye Qingchen's off-ball effect is even better!
Just when George Karl was shocked by the Lakers' tactics, the Sonics' offense was able to respond. Kemp's strong attack at the basket caused a foul by Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen was very puzzled by the referee's whistleblowing scale. Kemp used his elbow to open the way, but Ye Qingchen just blocked himself in front of him, and was whistled for a blocking foul.
Isn't the home whistle too obvious?
Since Kemp had already made a shooting posture, he went directly to the free throw line and made two free throws!
5: 5!
The two sides continue to draw!
At the beginning, the offense of the two sides played back and forth, which made the fans watching this game very satisfied.
For the time being, Ye Qingchen's performance can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. In the first quarter, he played more of a defensive and supporting role.
Especially on the defensive end, Ye Qingchen's restrictions on Kemp are very obvious. Kemp only caused Ye Qingchen's foul once, and it will be difficult to get cheap from him later.
And Kemp couldn't do it if he wanted to attack Ye Qingchen by force, and Ye Qingchen even gave him several spicy hot pots.
However, although Kemp's performance was not ideal, the performance of other players in the Sonics was still at a normal level, especially the cooperation between Gary Payton and Ricky Pierce, which was quite tacit.
So, despite Kemp being restricted, the Sonics' offense still played well.
On the offensive end, Ye Qingchen mostly takes the role of running without the ball. Using the cover of his teammates and his abundant physical ability, he can always easily get rid of the defenders, and then receive the pass from Divac, easily Complete the score!
Although Ye Qingchen seemed to seldom attack with the ball in the first quarter, he actually scored a lot.
After the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides came to 35:40!
The Lakers led by 5 points entering the second quarter.
Ye Qingchen scored 18 points in a single quarter, and his shooting percentage was even more terrifying, 12 of 9 shots, either dunks or mid-range shots.
Therefore, when seeing Ye Qingchen's personal data, many fans will be very surprised.
Because in the first quarter of the game, Ye Qingchen gave the impression that he didn't get many balls, but the final score was the highest in the game.
This proved that Ye Qingchen's performance in the first quarter was quite efficient.
And those fans and celebrities who followed Ye Qingchen no longer doubted Ye Qingchen's performance in the playoffs.
During the break, Supersonics head coach George Karl rearranged his tactics.
His idea was to double-team Divac, because Divac got 9 assists in the first quarter, almost all of which assisted Ye Qingchen to score.
This Divac pass is a great threat to the Sonics, and they can't let him continue such easy assists.
As for the Lakers, Old Deng didn't explain any tactics, because he knew that the Lakers' tactics were the most correct at this time.
To be honest, now Lao Dengtou really thinks that it is enough to just sit on the sidelines and watch the game with peace of mind.
After the start of the second quarter, Divac encountered crazy double-teaming by Supersonic players, his passing was greatly disturbed, and even made several mistakes.
The Sonics took advantage of Divac's mistakes to make several fast breaks in a row, and quickly overtook the score.
Old Dengtou saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly asked for a timeout.
Old Deng knew that it was time to take out his trump card!
So, after this pause, Ye Qingchen appeared in the No. [-] position.
Ye Qingchen played the first position, which made the supersonic players very puzzled.
Even George Karl felt that the Lakers' tactical arrangement after returning from the timeout was very weird.
After all, Ye Qingchen's main role is in the third position, and his sudden appearance in the first position will really catch people off guard.
However, the supersonic players soon discovered that Ye Qingchen had a huge advantage in the first position.
Ye Qingchen's height and weight are already invincible in the first position, especially Gary Payton who is defending him, there is no way to restrict Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen only needs to signal his teammates to pull away, and directly use his body to crush Gary Payton, and he can easily break through to the basket to complete the score.
After crushing Gary Payton several times in a row, Gary Payton became quite depressed, and he chose to directly foul Ye Qingchen viciously.
This time, after Ye Qingchen dribbled the ball for half the time, he signaled his teammates to pull away again, and he wanted to continue singles against Gary Payton.
A trick to eat all over the world!
Ye Qingchen lowered his center of gravity, and started single-handedly hitting Gary Payton with his back, crushing him inside!
The other supersonic players didn't dare to come over to double-team Ye Qingchen, because if they double-teamed Ye Qingchen, he would immediately pass the ball to his teammates.
The Lakers players are very capable of seizing opportunities, so the Supersonics dare not double-team Ye Qingchen anymore.
When Ye Qingchen crushed Gary Payton this time and came to the three-second zone, he collected the ball and turned around, directly preparing to complete a two-handed dunk on Gary Payton's head.
Gary Payton is already depressed enough, since Ye Qingchen still wants to complete a dunk on his head?
Of course he would not agree!
So, Gary Payton directly pressed Ye Qingchen's shoulders with both hands, trying to pull him down!
However, Ye Qingchen's strength is not something that ordinary people can easily pull down. Gary Payton obviously can't do it with a weight of only 83 kilograms.
So, under the circumstance of Gary Payton's fierce foul, Ye Qingchen still finished dunking with both hands on his head!
The referee's whistle sounded!
Ye Qingchen has another chance to be punished!
At this time, Ye Qingchen, who had completed dunking with both hands, wanted to say a heartbreaking sentence to Gary Payton:
"You haven't eaten? Why is fouling the same as tickling?"
Ye Qingchen's words made Gary Payton's depressed emotions finally burst out!
He directly pushed his head towards Ye Qingchen's chest!
In fact, Gary Payton wanted to push Ye Qingchen's head with his head. I believe everyone has seen the scene of pushing a cow.
But the problem is that Gary Payton's height of 1.9 meters three is simply not enough to reach Ye Qingchen's head.
Therefore, he could only choose to hit Ye Qingchen's chest with his head, trying to vent his depression.
The referee was right under the nose, and Gary Payton's action was immediately caught by the referee, and the hurried whistle sounded instantly!
However, something unexpected happened!
When Gary Payton pushed his head against Ye Qingchen's chest, he was horrified to find that his head was not able to reach Ye Qingchen's chest at all, but his head was crushed to death by Ye Qingchen's big hand Got it!
At this moment, his head is like a basketball, being firmly grasped by Ye Qingchen's big hands!
He felt that his head would be crushed by Ye Qingchen at any moment.
The huge force coming from Ye Qingchen's palm made his brain buzz.
Seeing this situation, the players on both sides have already surrounded them.
The most nervous thing was Kemp, he immediately rushed in front of Ye Qingchen, everyone thought he was going to succeed his little brother Gary Payton.
The referee even nervously stood in front of Kemp, preventing him from continuing to attack Ye Qingchen.
But Kemp’s words stunned everyone present:
"Hey, Ye, my buddy Gary is not sensible, don't be as knowledgeable as him, it's our problem!"
Gary Payton was stunned!
He thought that his big brother Kemp rushed over to stand up for him, but he didn't expect that he came to apologize to Ye Qingchen.
Could this Kemp be an undercover agent?
The expressions of the other Supersonic players were exactly the same as Gary Payton's. They couldn't figure out why Kemp was so polite to Ye Qingchen.
Even the referee was a little confused about the situation for a while, they still stood in front of Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen was not too surprised by Kemp's words, because in his opinion, anyone with a long memory should know his own strength.
Kemp was the one who suffered a lot from Ye Qingchen in the ring, and even in the slam dunk contest, Ye Qingchen once again crushed him severely.
Under such circumstances, Kemp certainly didn't want his teammates to clash with Ye Qingchen, because their end might be very miserable.
However, the palm of his hand still did not let go at this time, he just looked at Kemp with a playful expression and said:
"You should know that it was he who provoked me. I just blocked his head!"
Ye Qingchen's words made Kemp's expression very awkward. After thinking for a while, he had to say to Gary Payton next to him:
"Hey, buddy, after Xia Ye lets go, you have to apologize to him, understand?"
Gary Payton even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and his big brother actually asked him to apologize to Ye Qingchen?
He is very angry and aggrieved now, because he tried to break free from Ye Qingchen's palm, but failed!
The strength of Ye Qingchen's palm was too great, he couldn't break free at all.
After Ye Qingchen heard Kemp's words, he glanced at Gary Payton with great interest, and then suddenly let go.
At this time, Gary Payton just tried to break free again, Ye Qingchen suddenly let go, Gary Payton lost his support in an instant, he took a few steps back, almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was hugged by Camp Stay, so that embarrassing situation did not appear!
Gary Payton became even more angry with Ye Qingchen. He stared at Ye Qingchen, then turned his head to look at Kemp and said:
"Why should I apologize to him?"
"Listen to me, let's go back to the bench first!"
After speaking, Kemp took Gary Payton directly to the bench.
At this time, Ye Qingchen's eyes narrowed, and Gary Payton, whom Camp had promised him, would apologize to him, but he didn't seem to do it.
Ye Qingchen made a note of it, he wanted to see if this Gary Payton would have any remorse.
The game entered a timeout.
On the big screen at the scene, the conflict just now was played back.
Everyone clearly saw that Gary Payton sent a header to Ye Qingchen, and Ye Qingchen grabbed his head directly.
The fans at the scene were also very depressed about this result. They thought that Gary Payton would make Ye Qingchen feel the impact, but in the end, Ye Qingchen easily manipulated it, and they didn't even have the power to parry.
And Kemp's demeanor also made them feel extremely disappointed, Kemp was actually very afraid of Ye Qingchen?
This feeling is really aggrieved!
However, the on-site director seemed to be very aware of Kemp's behavior.
He directly played the scene when Ye Qingchen met Kemp for the first time, and even included the video of Ye Qingchen knocking out Kemp in the ring.
Seeing this scene, all the supersonic fans at the scene were silent!
At this time, Kemp, who was educating Gary Payton on the bench, saw the video on the big screen, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.
At this moment, Kemp really wants to imitate Ye Qingchen, directly crush the director's head with his palm, and then ask:
"Are you polite? Am I shameless?"
Gary Payton also saw Kemp's miserable end on the big screen, and now he finally understood Kemp's thoughts.
It's just that although I understand it, I also despise it very much.
"Hey, Sean, you can't cast a shadow on him just because he was KO'd. This is the playoffs, we need to be tougher!"
Gary Payton instead taught Kemp a lesson.
After Kemp listened to Gary Payton's words, his face became extremely depressed. He stared into Gary Payton's eyes and said:
"Why do you provoke him when you have nothing to do? Do you really think he is easy to provoke?"
"I don't want to see you lying on the court without even having time to fight back!"
"Although the playoffs are fierce, we still have to grasp the scale. Don't go after people, and he won't attack you!"
"Otherwise, your end will really be quite miserable!"
Kemp is too lazy to talk nonsense with Gary Payton at the moment, he thinks that it is enough to persuade him once about this kind of thing.
He was worried that Gary Payton's impulse would ruin their team!
Gary Payton and Kemp didn't speak any more, and the other players fell silent.
Head coach George Karl also felt very headache when he saw this scene.
He has heard of Ye Qingchen's vicious reputation, but he also thinks that Kemp's actions are too weak.
In this case, no matter right or wrong, the first thing to do is to stand on the teammate's side. Even if the opponent is Ye Qingchen, he can't lose morale.
But at this moment, George Karl knew that he could no longer point fingers at Kemp's actions. He rearranged his tactics, and reluctantly chose to double-team Ye Qingchen.
The timeout is over and the game continues!
The morale of the Sonics is a little low, and they feel that Kemp's behavior is not very correct.
Therefore, after returning from the timeout, the Lakers seized the opportunity to attack several times in a row, further expanding the score.
Although Ye Qingchen was crazy double-teamed by the Supersonics, Ye Qingchen was very adaptable to double-team tactics, always able to pass the ball to the open teammate before the double-team arrived.
The Supersonic's double-teaming tactics did not play a good restrictive role, but instead allowed other Lakers players to start playing.
The Supersonic's offense can only rely on Gary Payton and Ricky Pierce to support it, and Kemp is completely blocked by Ye Qingchen.
Gary Payton's style of play became fierce in the second half of the second quarter. He basically rushed to the inside with the ball and looked for scoring opportunities.
Gary Payton's breakthrough is quite good. He can always find scoring opportunities in the inside of the Lakers, either causing fouls by the inside players of the Lakers or hitting the ball in the cracks.
At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides became 58:70.
The Lakers have led by as many as 12 points.
叶轻尘半场砍下24分12助攻8篮板3抢断3封盖的全能数据。
As for the Sonics, Ricky Pierce scored 18 points, Gary Payton scored 15 points, and Kemp only scored 6 points.
For this halftime score, many fans were very surprised.
The performance of the Lakers in the playoffs was quite amazing, especially Ye Qingchen, who didn't even show any dissatisfaction, and easily scored a quasi-triple-double.
Now, even those celebrities who liked Heiye Qingchen were silent, Ye Qingchen showed his dominance in the playoffs.
During the halftime break, the head coach of the Supersonics, George Karl, crazily instilled chicken soup into the players, so that they should cheer up and increase the speed of offense again.
Of course, he also specially emphasized the need to be aggressive in defense. If you really want to foul, you must foul decisively. Don't let the Lakers players have the chance to score 2+1!
George Karl's request made all the players of the Sonics keep in mind.
They also believe that the defense must be aggressive. Now that they have home court advantage, they feel that the referee will lean towards them appropriately.
Similarly, George Karl also asked Kemp to be tough in the second half. He is very important to the team.
George Karl's roll call made Kemp feel very depressed.
It's not that he doesn't want to stand up, it's that Ye Qingchen's defense is really too oppressive, it's even hard for him to get rid of Ye Qingchen.
You know, Ye Qingchen played the entire first half. Not only did he play well on the offensive end, but he was also inseparable from Kemp on the defensive end, preventing him from scoring easily at all.
Kemp was about to be prevented from being autistic by Ye Qingchen, and he even wanted Ye Qingchen to let him go so that he wouldn't be so ugly.
However, when the words came to his lips, he still couldn't say them, because it was really too embarrassing.
At this time, the head coach made him stand up in front of all the players, and his mood became even more depressed.
"Got it, I know what to do!"
In the end, Kemp could only agree in a low voice.
Gary Payton was also quite upset seeing his big brother Kemp like this. He almost couldn't help but want to teach Kemp a lesson.
But in the end he held back, and for the second half, Gary Payton's thoughts were equally simple, that is, no matter what, Ye Qingchen could not easily score on his head.
The intermission is over, the second half of the game continues!
After the adjustment of the halftime break, the spirit of the Sonics has been greatly improved.
As soon as they came up, there was a wonderful cooperation on the offensive end. Ricky Pierce's stable output on the outside gave the fans on the scene the hope of catching up with the score.
As for the Lakers, their style of play is still a combination of fast and slow. When there is no chance to play a fast break, Ye Qingchen directly uses the bulldozer to crush Gary Payton.
Gary Payton has no way to defend against Ye Qingchen alone, so he can only double-team Ye Qingchen, and immediately pass the ball after the double-team. The other players of the Lakers can always eat cakes easily!
In the third quarter, the offenses of the two sides came and went, but it was also very exciting, and no one could do anything to the other.
In fact, Ye Qingchen didn't give full play at all, he just wanted to feel the difference between the intensity of the playoffs and the regular season.
To be honest, although the intensity of the playoffs has increased a lot, the Supersonics are really far behind in their own defense.
Ye Qingchen felt that there was no need to procrastinate this series, three battles would be enough.
After the third quarter, although the Sonics' offense was still sharp, they still couldn't reduce the score to within ten points, 90:101.
This result made the players and head coach of the Sonics quite depressed. They made a tough move and wanted to be more aggressive in the fourth quarter.
Kemp's performance is still quite hip, and he doesn't even have a few chances to connect the ball.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Sonics' defensive strength increased again.
Divac took the ball in a high position, and was immediately slapped in the face by Derek McKay with an iron sand palm, causing Divac to fall to the ground with a cry of pain.
Although the referee whistled for Derek McKay's foul, slow playback showed that his iron sand palm was not even aimed at the ball, but at people.
Divac was in great pain from this iron sand palm. When he let go of his palm, blood was all over his face.
It turned out that the corners of his eyebrows were cracked by Derek McKay's iron palm!
The Sonics fans at the scene even cheered loudly for this, thinking that Derek McKay did a good job this time.
Divac left to bandage up, but Ye Qingchen silently remembered this scene in his heart.
The referee only punished Derek McKay for an ordinary foul. Derek McKay even felt very wronged, thinking that he hit the ball first and then hit the man.
Seeing Derek McKay's innocent face, Ye Qingchen felt that it was a pity for him to play basketball. This acting skill should go to Hollywood to become an actor.
Therefore, Ye Qingchen walked up to Derek McKay and mocked him with a smile:
"Hey, do you want to be an actor?"
"Your acting skills are so good, and I happen to know several Hollywood actresses. I can introduce you to a secondary role. I believe you will be able to do it!"
After Derek McKay heard Ye Qingchen's ridicule, his face instantly became gloomy. He stared at Ye Qingchen and said:
"You say it again?"
"Huh? You don't like acting in Hollywood movies? Do you like acting in adult movies? It's not impossible, but judging by your appearance, you should be a small dog, right?"
Ye Qingchen's words made Derek McKay almost explode on the spot, and his attack was no different from a personal attack.
He was about to rush towards Ye Qingchen, but was hugged tightly by Kemp.
When Kemp saw Ye Qingchen stepped forward to mock Derek McKay, he already realized the seriousness of the matter, which meant that Ye Qingchen was getting angry!
Ye Qingchen was angry, and the consequences would be serious!
Therefore, Kemp must stop the further escalation of the matter in time!
Seeing Derek McKay being tightly hugged by Kemp, Ye Qingchen showed a regretful expression on his face, he shook his head in disappointment and said:
"It turns out they're all a bunch of idiots!"
All the Supersonic players on the field heard Ye Qingchen's words, except for Kemp, everyone's eyes were about to burst into flames!
After Ye Qingchen finished mocking, he turned around and went to the sideline to serve.
At this moment, the anger of the Supersonic players on the field has risen to the peak. Several people looked at each other, and they all saw determination in their eyes.
Here Perkins replaced Divac, Ye Qingchen passed the ball to Perkins, and then went around behind him to catch the ball again.
Ye Qingchen, holding the ball at the top of the arc, signaled for everyone to pull away, because Derek McKay happened to be guarding the basket.
Since he dared to attack his teammates, he must be prepared to be crazily squeezed by Ye Qingchen!
For the Supersonics, Gary Payton is defending on the line, Ricky Pierce is waiting for Ye Qingchen to come over from the free throw line, Derek McKay and Michael Cage are guarding the basket, four defending one!
Ye Qingchen passed Gary Payton in one step!
At the free throw line, he directly collected the ball and started, pushed Ricky Pierce away, and rushed towards Derek McKay with the explosive bag!
And behind Ye Qingchen, Gary Payton, who was passed by, followed behind Ye Qingchen with gritted teeth. The moment Ye Qingchen started, he threw himself directly on Ye Qingchen's body!
In front of Ye Qingchen, Derek McKay also took the initiative to meet him, opened the way with his shoulder, and bumped into Ye Qingchen!

(End of this chapter)
The first round of the playoffs at this time is a five-match three-win system, and the method adopted is 2-2-1, that is, the team with a record advantage will take the lead in playing two games at their own home court.
Since the Lakers rank fifth in the West and the Sonics rank fourth in the West, the Sonics have home court advantage. The first two games will be played at the Sonics' home court first.
Home court advantage in the playoffs is actually much more important than in the regular season, which is why many teams want to have home court advantage.
For this game, the Sonics coach and players are full of confidence.
Although the Lakers have Ye Qingchen and were defeated by the Lakers in the regular season, they still have absolute confidence in this round of playoffs.
Especially the head coach George Karl, who started coaching the Sonics in the middle of the season, and after he started coaching the Sonics, he achieved very obvious results.
42 regular season games have achieved a record of 27 wins and 15 losses. This winning percentage has exceeded [-]%, so the Supersonics' coach change this time is quite a success.
Similarly, George Karl still has great confidence in this series. He even encouraged the Supersonic players before the game:
"The playoffs are the stage to prove our strength. I hope you can show 100% strength and let the Los Angeles Lakers know how strong we are!"
George Karl's words made the players very excited and excited, because after George Karl coached the Sonics, their record has indeed improved a lot, and everyone is full of confidence in George Karl.
In addition, the playoffs themselves are a different stage, which makes the players look forward to it even more.
On the other hand, for the Lakers, for entering the playoffs, many players on the team have already experienced it, so they are not very excited.
Generally speaking, only players who are entering the playoffs for the first time will be nervous, such as rookies or sophomores.
However, from Ye Qingchen's face, neither the Lakers players nor the coach could see any nervous expression.
This made them very emotional. Ye Qingchen is indeed a player with a big heart. It is really rare for him to be so calm on his first playoff trip.
Players from both sides have already started their respective warm-ups.
When Ye Qingchen was warming up for shooting, he also looked at the lineup of the supersonic team in the opposite half.
The star of this Supersonic team is undoubtedly "Rain Man" Kemp, and his strength in the interior is quite good.
As for the backcourt, Gary Payton is in charge. He was the second pick in the 1990 draft. This is his second season. Although his scoring average is not very high, his assists have risen to double digits. It has already proved that his organizational ability cannot be underestimated.
Coupled with guard Ricky Pierce, the Supersonic team has a strong lineup. Ye Qingchen clearly remembers that in the 1992 playoffs, the Supersonic team's opponent was the Warriors, and they defeated the Warriors with a score of 3:1. The Warriors made it to the Western Conference Semifinals.
Therefore, the strength of the Sonics is much stronger than before the start of the season.
Moreover, the offense advocated by George Karl is actually similar to Don Nelson of the Warriors. It also requires the team's offense to be fast-paced and efficient.
Therefore, Ye Qingchen feels that today's game may not be easy to play. Although he is very strong, overall, the Supersonic players will be a bit stronger than the Lakers.
However, as the Lakers broke into the playoffs, James Worthy finally announced his comeback, which will greatly enhance the strength of the Lakers.
Moreover, when James Worthy saw Ye Qingchen's performance throughout the season, he finally accepted the role of Ye Qingchen's team leader.
He knows that compared with Ye Qingchen, his only advantage is experience. As for other things, he has nothing compared to Ye Qingchen. He can't get it.
This game was broadcast live across the United States, and many fans were curious about Ye Qingchen's first trip to the playoffs.
Of course, many fans and celebrities felt that Ye Qingchen's first trip to the playoffs might not be stable enough, because he was really young.
Throughout the history of the NBA, Magic Johnson can be regarded as the most prominent player who can enter the playoffs and perform well in his rookie season.
After Magic Johnson entered the league's first season, he led the Lakers to the finals together with "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and when "Sky Hook" was absent due to injury in the sixth game, Magic Johnson Turning on the single-core scoring mode, he finally defeated his opponent, won the first championship trophy in his career, and won the finals MVP.
Therefore, Magic Johnson's rookie season can be regarded as quite successful.
Although Ye Qingchen is also known as the successor of Magic Johnson, and he also performed very well in the regular season.
But this is the playoffs, and many times those who receive too much attention will lose themselves in the game because of this.
As for how the performance was, one really had to take a good look at Ye Qingchen's final performance in this match before making a conclusion.
After the warm-up was over, the referee blew the whistle to start the game!
In the first round of the 1991-1992 NBA playoffs in the West, the first game of the Lakers VS Sonics officially started!
The starting lineup for the Lakers is:
Byron Scott, Keith Owens, Ye Qingchen, Verati Divac, James Worthy.
The Sonics' starting lineup is:
Sean Kemp, Ricky Pierce, Derek McKay, Gary Payton, Michael Cage.
Ye Qingchen's main position today is the third position, which happens to be facing Sean Kemp.
The two inside players on the Sonics are Derek McKay and Michael Cage, both of whom are only [-] meters tall.
"Rain Man" Sean Kemp is [-] meters tall, but because of his mobility, the head coach George Karl let him play the small forward position, so that he can better display his strength on the offensive end.
The cooperation between Gary Payton and Sean Kemp has become more and more proficient, and the pick-and-roll between the two will cause a lot of trouble for the opponent.
With the completion of the jump ball link between the two sides, the game finally started.
The Sonics were the first to get the ball. Gary Payton slowly dribbled the ball across half court, waiting for the cover of his teammates at the top of the arc.
Sean Kemp quickly stepped forward to cover Gary Payton, and Gary Payton quickly broke through to the three-second zone through the cover.
The inside players of the Lakers quickly double-teamed, but at this time Ye Qingchen focused on Sean Kemp.
Ye Qingchen never let go of his defense against Sean Kemp. He soon noticed that after covering, Sean Kemp quickly cut inside and began to adjust his pace.
Sean Kemp's prelude immediately made Ye Qingchen realize that he was going to jump and catch the ball to complete the alley-oop!
really!
When Gary Payton attracted the Lakers inside players Divac and James Worthy to double-team, he threw the ball directly into the air!
Campo followed up and took off in time, ready to catch the ball with both hands and complete the dunk. This has been done countless times with him and Gary Payton, and there will be no accidents!
However, in front of Ye Qingchen, many accidents will happen, such as this time!
Ye Qingchen predicted Gary Payton's alley-oop pass in advance, and he even took the lead before Kemp took off.
Even in the process of jumping to intercept the alley-oop pass, Ye Qingchen was already thinking about how to complete the transition fast break.
Under Kemp's horrified eyes, Ye Qingchen confiscated the basketball with one hand.
After landing, Ye Qingchen turned around and looked in the direction of the front field.
Byron Scott and Keith Owens knew Ye Qingchen well. When they saw Ye Qingchen take off to intercept the alley-oop, they turned around and rushed forward.
Their running direction is the direction of the two bottom corners of the frontcourt. Keith Owens runs to the left corner and Byron Scott runs to the right corner.
Ye Qingchen found Keith Owens at the first time, and made a strong long pass in the quarter-point style. The basketball flew in front of Keith Owens like a cannonball. After Keith Owens caught the basketball, it was already Came to the bottom corner on the left.
Without any hesitation, he opened his hand and made a three-pointer!
The Sonics players did not expect the Lakers to counterattack so fast. In addition, they were not familiar with the running positions of the two backcourt players of the Lakers, so their first reaction was to run to the inside and carry out the attack. Back to defense.
But never expected that Keith Owens would shoot directly from beyond the three-point line!
"Shh!"
Hollow hit!
0: 3!
The Lakers took the lead in scoring first blood!
The Lakers' offense this time caught the Sonics by surprise.
George Karl on the sidelines was surprised by the Lakers' defense + offense this time. He didn't expect that the cooperation between Gary Payton and Kemp would be seen through by Ye Qingchen, and the Lakers' offensive rhythm was very fast.
Thinking of this, George Karl hurriedly made a gesture to Gary Payton who was about to dribble across the half court. This is another offensive tactic gesture.
After Gary Payton saw this gesture, he nodded and quickly dribbled the ball across half court.
This time, it was Ricky Pierce who cooperated with Gary Payton.
Under the cover of his teammates, Ricky Pierce kept running back, and finally got rid of the Lakers' defense and appeared at a 45-degree angle on the left. Gary Payton's pass was in place in time.
Catch and shoot, good rhythm, hold on!
3: 3!
Ricky Pierce immediately responded to the Lakers' counter-attack three-pointer just now!
The Sonics fans at the scene were quite satisfied with the home team's attack. They shouted Ricky Pierce's name loudly and cheered for him.
Ye Qingchen sighed in his heart, as expected, the playoffs were the playoffs, and every player on the Supersonic team was very active.
The quality of their off-ball screens is high, and it's very difficult to chase Ricky Pierce off their screens.
For this result, Ye Qingchen had expected it.
Here, after Byron Scott dribbled the ball across half court, Divac on the inside came to the top of the arc to cooperate with him in a pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll was completed, not only did Divac not go down the inside line, but instead bounced outside the three-point line.
After Byron Scott passed the ball back to Divac, he quickly penetrated inside.
Gary Payton followed up in time!
Little did he know that the object of Divac's pass was not Byron Scott at all, but Ye Qingchen!
Originally, Ye Qingchen had been standing at a 45-degree angle to the left, but when Byron Scott cut inside, he deftly ran back and played a trick on Kemp.
Ye Qingchen pretended to run to the outside line, but actually wanted to rush to the inside line.
Kemp was easily escaped by Ye Qingchen!
Divac threw the basketball directly towards the basket!
Ye Qingchen has come to the inner line at this moment and leaped high!
Catch the basketball with both hands!
Explode a buckle!
3: 5!
The Lakers' offense this time was quite smooth and organized, which made the Sonics players on the scene very depressed.
The old Dengtou on the sidelines is quite satisfied with the Lakers' offense this time, and Divac's passing skills are getting more and more proficient.
George Karl's face was full of solemn expressions, and he was shocked by the tactical quality displayed by the Lakers.
In the past, the Lakers would only hand the ball to Magic Johnson and let him sort out the team's offense.
Even after the start of this season, the Lakers' offense relied on Ye Qingchen's organization to complete.
But now it's different, the Lakers actually have a big man inside who can pass the ball, Ye Qingchen's off-ball effect is even better!
Just when George Karl was shocked by the Lakers' tactics, the Sonics' offense was able to respond. Kemp's strong attack at the basket caused a foul by Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen was very puzzled by the referee's whistleblowing scale. Kemp used his elbow to open the way, but Ye Qingchen just blocked himself in front of him, and was whistled for a blocking foul.
Isn't the home whistle too obvious?
Since Kemp had already made a shooting posture, he went directly to the free throw line and made two free throws!
5: 5!
The two sides continue to draw!
At the beginning, the offense of the two sides played back and forth, which made the fans watching this game very satisfied.
For the time being, Ye Qingchen's performance can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. In the first quarter, he played more of a defensive and supporting role.
Especially on the defensive end, Ye Qingchen's restrictions on Kemp are very obvious. Kemp only caused Ye Qingchen's foul once, and it will be difficult to get cheap from him later.
And Kemp couldn't do it if he wanted to attack Ye Qingchen by force, and Ye Qingchen even gave him several spicy hot pots.
However, although Kemp's performance was not ideal, the performance of other players in the Sonics was still at a normal level, especially the cooperation between Gary Payton and Ricky Pierce, which was quite tacit.
So, despite Kemp being restricted, the Sonics' offense still played well.
On the offensive end, Ye Qingchen mostly takes the role of running without the ball. Using the cover of his teammates and his abundant physical ability, he can always easily get rid of the defenders, and then receive the pass from Divac, easily Complete the score!
Although Ye Qingchen seemed to seldom attack with the ball in the first quarter, he actually scored a lot.
After the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides came to 35:40!
The Lakers led by 5 points entering the second quarter.
Ye Qingchen scored 18 points in a single quarter, and his shooting percentage was even more terrifying, 12 of 9 shots, either dunks or mid-range shots.
Therefore, when seeing Ye Qingchen's personal data, many fans will be very surprised.
Because in the first quarter of the game, Ye Qingchen gave the impression that he didn't get many balls, but the final score was the highest in the game.
This proved that Ye Qingchen's performance in the first quarter was quite efficient.
And those fans and celebrities who followed Ye Qingchen no longer doubted Ye Qingchen's performance in the playoffs.
During the break, Supersonics head coach George Karl rearranged his tactics.
His idea was to double-team Divac, because Divac got 9 assists in the first quarter, almost all of which assisted Ye Qingchen to score.
This Divac pass is a great threat to the Sonics, and they can't let him continue such easy assists.
As for the Lakers, Old Deng didn't explain any tactics, because he knew that the Lakers' tactics were the most correct at this time.
To be honest, now Lao Dengtou really thinks that it is enough to just sit on the sidelines and watch the game with peace of mind.
After the start of the second quarter, Divac encountered crazy double-teaming by Supersonic players, his passing was greatly disturbed, and even made several mistakes.
The Sonics took advantage of Divac's mistakes to make several fast breaks in a row, and quickly overtook the score.
Old Dengtou saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly asked for a timeout.
Old Deng knew that it was time to take out his trump card!
So, after this pause, Ye Qingchen appeared in the No. [-] position.
Ye Qingchen played the first position, which made the supersonic players very puzzled.
Even George Karl felt that the Lakers' tactical arrangement after returning from the timeout was very weird.
After all, Ye Qingchen's main role is in the third position, and his sudden appearance in the first position will really catch people off guard.
However, the supersonic players soon discovered that Ye Qingchen had a huge advantage in the first position.
Ye Qingchen's height and weight are already invincible in the first position, especially Gary Payton who is defending him, there is no way to restrict Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen only needs to signal his teammates to pull away, and directly use his body to crush Gary Payton, and he can easily break through to the basket to complete the score.
After crushing Gary Payton several times in a row, Gary Payton became quite depressed, and he chose to directly foul Ye Qingchen viciously.
This time, after Ye Qingchen dribbled the ball for half the time, he signaled his teammates to pull away again, and he wanted to continue singles against Gary Payton.
A trick to eat all over the world!
Ye Qingchen lowered his center of gravity, and started single-handedly hitting Gary Payton with his back, crushing him inside!
The other supersonic players didn't dare to come over to double-team Ye Qingchen, because if they double-teamed Ye Qingchen, he would immediately pass the ball to his teammates.
The Lakers players are very capable of seizing opportunities, so the Supersonics dare not double-team Ye Qingchen anymore.
When Ye Qingchen crushed Gary Payton this time and came to the three-second zone, he collected the ball and turned around, directly preparing to complete a two-handed dunk on Gary Payton's head.
Gary Payton is already depressed enough, since Ye Qingchen still wants to complete a dunk on his head?
Of course he would not agree!
So, Gary Payton directly pressed Ye Qingchen's shoulders with both hands, trying to pull him down!
However, Ye Qingchen's strength is not something that ordinary people can easily pull down. Gary Payton obviously can't do it with a weight of only 83 kilograms.
So, under the circumstance of Gary Payton's fierce foul, Ye Qingchen still finished dunking with both hands on his head!
The referee's whistle sounded!
Ye Qingchen has another chance to be punished!
At this time, Ye Qingchen, who had completed dunking with both hands, wanted to say a heartbreaking sentence to Gary Payton:
"You haven't eaten? Why is fouling the same as tickling?"
Ye Qingchen's words made Gary Payton's depressed emotions finally burst out!
He directly pushed his head towards Ye Qingchen's chest!
In fact, Gary Payton wanted to push Ye Qingchen's head with his head. I believe everyone has seen the scene of pushing a cow.
But the problem is that Gary Payton's height of 1.9 meters three is simply not enough to reach Ye Qingchen's head.
Therefore, he could only choose to hit Ye Qingchen's chest with his head, trying to vent his depression.
The referee was right under the nose, and Gary Payton's action was immediately caught by the referee, and the hurried whistle sounded instantly!
However, something unexpected happened!
When Gary Payton pushed his head against Ye Qingchen's chest, he was horrified to find that his head was not able to reach Ye Qingchen's chest at all, but his head was crushed to death by Ye Qingchen's big hand Got it!
At this moment, his head is like a basketball, being firmly grasped by Ye Qingchen's big hands!
He felt that his head would be crushed by Ye Qingchen at any moment.
The huge force coming from Ye Qingchen's palm made his brain buzz.
Seeing this situation, the players on both sides have already surrounded them.
The most nervous thing was Kemp, he immediately rushed in front of Ye Qingchen, everyone thought he was going to succeed his little brother Gary Payton.
The referee even nervously stood in front of Kemp, preventing him from continuing to attack Ye Qingchen.
But Kemp’s words stunned everyone present:
"Hey, Ye, my buddy Gary is not sensible, don't be as knowledgeable as him, it's our problem!"
Gary Payton was stunned!
He thought that his big brother Kemp rushed over to stand up for him, but he didn't expect that he came to apologize to Ye Qingchen.
Could this Kemp be an undercover agent?
The expressions of the other Supersonic players were exactly the same as Gary Payton's. They couldn't figure out why Kemp was so polite to Ye Qingchen.
Even the referee was a little confused about the situation for a while, they still stood in front of Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen was not too surprised by Kemp's words, because in his opinion, anyone with a long memory should know his own strength.
Kemp was the one who suffered a lot from Ye Qingchen in the ring, and even in the slam dunk contest, Ye Qingchen once again crushed him severely.
Under such circumstances, Kemp certainly didn't want his teammates to clash with Ye Qingchen, because their end might be very miserable.
However, the palm of his hand still did not let go at this time, he just looked at Kemp with a playful expression and said:
"You should know that it was he who provoked me. I just blocked his head!"
Ye Qingchen's words made Kemp's expression very awkward. After thinking for a while, he had to say to Gary Payton next to him:
"Hey, buddy, after Xia Ye lets go, you have to apologize to him, understand?"
Gary Payton even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and his big brother actually asked him to apologize to Ye Qingchen?
He is very angry and aggrieved now, because he tried to break free from Ye Qingchen's palm, but failed!
The strength of Ye Qingchen's palm was too great, he couldn't break free at all.
After Ye Qingchen heard Kemp's words, he glanced at Gary Payton with great interest, and then suddenly let go.
At this time, Gary Payton just tried to break free again, Ye Qingchen suddenly let go, Gary Payton lost his support in an instant, he took a few steps back, almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was hugged by Camp Stay, so that embarrassing situation did not appear!
Gary Payton became even more angry with Ye Qingchen. He stared at Ye Qingchen, then turned his head to look at Kemp and said:
"Why should I apologize to him?"
"Listen to me, let's go back to the bench first!"
After speaking, Kemp took Gary Payton directly to the bench.
At this time, Ye Qingchen's eyes narrowed, and Gary Payton, whom Camp had promised him, would apologize to him, but he didn't seem to do it.
Ye Qingchen made a note of it, he wanted to see if this Gary Payton would have any remorse.
The game entered a timeout.
On the big screen at the scene, the conflict just now was played back.
Everyone clearly saw that Gary Payton sent a header to Ye Qingchen, and Ye Qingchen grabbed his head directly.
The fans at the scene were also very depressed about this result. They thought that Gary Payton would make Ye Qingchen feel the impact, but in the end, Ye Qingchen easily manipulated it, and they didn't even have the power to parry.
And Kemp's demeanor also made them feel extremely disappointed, Kemp was actually very afraid of Ye Qingchen?
This feeling is really aggrieved!
However, the on-site director seemed to be very aware of Kemp's behavior.
He directly played the scene when Ye Qingchen met Kemp for the first time, and even included the video of Ye Qingchen knocking out Kemp in the ring.
Seeing this scene, all the supersonic fans at the scene were silent!
At this time, Kemp, who was educating Gary Payton on the bench, saw the video on the big screen, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.
At this moment, Kemp really wants to imitate Ye Qingchen, directly crush the director's head with his palm, and then ask:
"Are you polite? Am I shameless?"
Gary Payton also saw Kemp's miserable end on the big screen, and now he finally understood Kemp's thoughts.
It's just that although I understand it, I also despise it very much.
"Hey, Sean, you can't cast a shadow on him just because he was KO'd. This is the playoffs, we need to be tougher!"
Gary Payton instead taught Kemp a lesson.
After Kemp listened to Gary Payton's words, his face became extremely depressed. He stared into Gary Payton's eyes and said:
"Why do you provoke him when you have nothing to do? Do you really think he is easy to provoke?"
"I don't want to see you lying on the court without even having time to fight back!"
"Although the playoffs are fierce, we still have to grasp the scale. Don't go after people, and he won't attack you!"
"Otherwise, your end will really be quite miserable!"
Kemp is too lazy to talk nonsense with Gary Payton at the moment, he thinks that it is enough to persuade him once about this kind of thing.
He was worried that Gary Payton's impulse would ruin their team!
Gary Payton and Kemp didn't speak any more, and the other players fell silent.
Head coach George Karl also felt very headache when he saw this scene.
He has heard of Ye Qingchen's vicious reputation, but he also thinks that Kemp's actions are too weak.
In this case, no matter right or wrong, the first thing to do is to stand on the teammate's side. Even if the opponent is Ye Qingchen, he can't lose morale.
But at this moment, George Karl knew that he could no longer point fingers at Kemp's actions. He rearranged his tactics, and reluctantly chose to double-team Ye Qingchen.
The timeout is over and the game continues!
The morale of the Sonics is a little low, and they feel that Kemp's behavior is not very correct.
Therefore, after returning from the timeout, the Lakers seized the opportunity to attack several times in a row, further expanding the score.
Although Ye Qingchen was crazy double-teamed by the Supersonics, Ye Qingchen was very adaptable to double-team tactics, always able to pass the ball to the open teammate before the double-team arrived.
The Supersonic's double-teaming tactics did not play a good restrictive role, but instead allowed other Lakers players to start playing.
The Supersonic's offense can only rely on Gary Payton and Ricky Pierce to support it, and Kemp is completely blocked by Ye Qingchen.
Gary Payton's style of play became fierce in the second half of the second quarter. He basically rushed to the inside with the ball and looked for scoring opportunities.
Gary Payton's breakthrough is quite good. He can always find scoring opportunities in the inside of the Lakers, either causing fouls by the inside players of the Lakers or hitting the ball in the cracks.
At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides became 58:70.
The Lakers have led by as many as 12 points.
叶轻尘半场砍下24分12助攻8篮板3抢断3封盖的全能数据。
As for the Sonics, Ricky Pierce scored 18 points, Gary Payton scored 15 points, and Kemp only scored 6 points.
For this halftime score, many fans were very surprised.
The performance of the Lakers in the playoffs was quite amazing, especially Ye Qingchen, who didn't even show any dissatisfaction, and easily scored a quasi-triple-double.
Now, even those celebrities who liked Heiye Qingchen were silent, Ye Qingchen showed his dominance in the playoffs.
During the halftime break, the head coach of the Supersonics, George Karl, crazily instilled chicken soup into the players, so that they should cheer up and increase the speed of offense again.
Of course, he also specially emphasized the need to be aggressive in defense. If you really want to foul, you must foul decisively. Don't let the Lakers players have the chance to score 2+1!
George Karl's request made all the players of the Sonics keep in mind.
They also believe that the defense must be aggressive. Now that they have home court advantage, they feel that the referee will lean towards them appropriately.
Similarly, George Karl also asked Kemp to be tough in the second half. He is very important to the team.
George Karl's roll call made Kemp feel very depressed.
It's not that he doesn't want to stand up, it's that Ye Qingchen's defense is really too oppressive, it's even hard for him to get rid of Ye Qingchen.
You know, Ye Qingchen played the entire first half. Not only did he play well on the offensive end, but he was also inseparable from Kemp on the defensive end, preventing him from scoring easily at all.
Kemp was about to be prevented from being autistic by Ye Qingchen, and he even wanted Ye Qingchen to let him go so that he wouldn't be so ugly.
However, when the words came to his lips, he still couldn't say them, because it was really too embarrassing.
At this time, the head coach made him stand up in front of all the players, and his mood became even more depressed.
"Got it, I know what to do!"
In the end, Kemp could only agree in a low voice.
Gary Payton was also quite upset seeing his big brother Kemp like this. He almost couldn't help but want to teach Kemp a lesson.
But in the end he held back, and for the second half, Gary Payton's thoughts were equally simple, that is, no matter what, Ye Qingchen could not easily score on his head.
The intermission is over, the second half of the game continues!
After the adjustment of the halftime break, the spirit of the Sonics has been greatly improved.
As soon as they came up, there was a wonderful cooperation on the offensive end. Ricky Pierce's stable output on the outside gave the fans on the scene the hope of catching up with the score.
As for the Lakers, their style of play is still a combination of fast and slow. When there is no chance to play a fast break, Ye Qingchen directly uses the bulldozer to crush Gary Payton.
Gary Payton has no way to defend against Ye Qingchen alone, so he can only double-team Ye Qingchen, and immediately pass the ball after the double-team. The other players of the Lakers can always eat cakes easily!
In the third quarter, the offenses of the two sides came and went, but it was also very exciting, and no one could do anything to the other.
In fact, Ye Qingchen didn't give full play at all, he just wanted to feel the difference between the intensity of the playoffs and the regular season.
To be honest, although the intensity of the playoffs has increased a lot, the Supersonics are really far behind in their own defense.
Ye Qingchen felt that there was no need to procrastinate this series, three battles would be enough.
After the third quarter, although the Sonics' offense was still sharp, they still couldn't reduce the score to within ten points, 90:101.
This result made the players and head coach of the Sonics quite depressed. They made a tough move and wanted to be more aggressive in the fourth quarter.
Kemp's performance is still quite hip, and he doesn't even have a few chances to connect the ball.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Sonics' defensive strength increased again.
Divac took the ball in a high position, and was immediately slapped in the face by Derek McKay with an iron sand palm, causing Divac to fall to the ground with a cry of pain.
Although the referee whistled for Derek McKay's foul, slow playback showed that his iron sand palm was not even aimed at the ball, but at people.
Divac was in great pain from this iron sand palm. When he let go of his palm, blood was all over his face.
It turned out that the corners of his eyebrows were cracked by Derek McKay's iron palm!
The Sonics fans at the scene even cheered loudly for this, thinking that Derek McKay did a good job this time.
Divac left to bandage up, but Ye Qingchen silently remembered this scene in his heart.
The referee only punished Derek McKay for an ordinary foul. Derek McKay even felt very wronged, thinking that he hit the ball first and then hit the man.
Seeing Derek McKay's innocent face, Ye Qingchen felt that it was a pity for him to play basketball. This acting skill should go to Hollywood to become an actor.
Therefore, Ye Qingchen walked up to Derek McKay and mocked him with a smile:
"Hey, do you want to be an actor?"
"Your acting skills are so good, and I happen to know several Hollywood actresses. I can introduce you to a secondary role. I believe you will be able to do it!"
After Derek McKay heard Ye Qingchen's ridicule, his face instantly became gloomy. He stared at Ye Qingchen and said:
"You say it again?"
"Huh? You don't like acting in Hollywood movies? Do you like acting in adult movies? It's not impossible, but judging by your appearance, you should be a small dog, right?"
Ye Qingchen's words made Derek McKay almost explode on the spot, and his attack was no different from a personal attack.
He was about to rush towards Ye Qingchen, but was hugged tightly by Kemp.
When Kemp saw Ye Qingchen stepped forward to mock Derek McKay, he already realized the seriousness of the matter, which meant that Ye Qingchen was getting angry!
Ye Qingchen was angry, and the consequences would be serious!
Therefore, Kemp must stop the further escalation of the matter in time!
Seeing Derek McKay being tightly hugged by Kemp, Ye Qingchen showed a regretful expression on his face, he shook his head in disappointment and said:
"It turns out they're all a bunch of idiots!"
All the Supersonic players on the field heard Ye Qingchen's words, except for Kemp, everyone's eyes were about to burst into flames!
After Ye Qingchen finished mocking, he turned around and went to the sideline to serve.
At this moment, the anger of the Supersonic players on the field has risen to the peak. Several people looked at each other, and they all saw determination in their eyes.
Here Perkins replaced Divac, Ye Qingchen passed the ball to Perkins, and then went around behind him to catch the ball again.
Ye Qingchen, holding the ball at the top of the arc, signaled for everyone to pull away, because Derek McKay happened to be guarding the basket.
Since he dared to attack his teammates, he must be prepared to be crazily squeezed by Ye Qingchen!
For the Supersonics, Gary Payton is defending on the line, Ricky Pierce is waiting for Ye Qingchen to come over from the free throw line, Derek McKay and Michael Cage are guarding the basket, four defending one!
Ye Qingchen passed Gary Payton in one step!
At the free throw line, he directly collected the ball and started, pushed Ricky Pierce away, and rushed towards Derek McKay with the explosive bag!
