NBA: There is nothing wrong with bringing a ball in a fight!
Chapter 147 Qingchen smiles, life and death are unpredictable!
Chapter 147 Qingchen smiles, life and death are unpredictable!
Mike Brown is very concerned about coach Jerry Sloan's exhortations.
He knew that this time was his chance, and if he did well, he would have a chance to be included in the starting list.
You know, playing in the NBA, except for the starting five players, the rest of the bench players are actually pretty much the same level.
They basically lack a chance to prove themselves.
And this opportunity requires the referee to trust them.
Therefore, Mike Brown feels that now is the time for Jerry Sloan to have confidence in himself.
Of course, Mike Brown is very familiar with Ye Qingchen.
He was even able to know all about Ye Qingchen's deeds. He made Karl Malone lie on the hospital bed several times. In fact, Mike Brown felt that Ye Qingchen had helped him a lot.
Because if it wasn't for Ye Qingchen's injury to Karl Malone, he wouldn't have had so many chances to play.
You know, before Karl Malone was injured, he couldn't even enter the Jazz's rotation.
However, when Karl Malone fell into Ye Qingchen's hands again and again, Mike Brown had a chance to enter the Jazz's rotation.
Therefore, Mike Brown cherishes this opportunity very much, and he also works very hard on the basketball court. His performance has been recognized by Jerry Sloan and he has become the No. 1 choice for the team's backup center.
For Mike Brown, what he wants is not much, that is, to play good-looking personal data as much as possible in the limited playing time.
This is very important for his next labor contract. As long as his data looks good, he will have the opportunity to sign a middle-class contract to ensure that he will have a worry-free life in a few years.
Don't look at the high annual salaries of many NBA stars, but in fact, low-level players like Mike Brown account for the majority.
Their salaries are only around $50 a year, and rarely more than a million dollars a year.
Moreover, if these substitute players cannot get enough playing time, it will be difficult for them to maintain their competitive state.
The less playing time, the less opportunities they have to express themselves, and the more they want to get the chance to play.
At this time, Mike Brown just felt that the opportunity was in front of him, and he had to firmly grasp this opportunity in his own hands.
Although he knew that Ye Qingchen was not someone to mess with, but for his own future, Mike Brown decided to take the risk.
If you fight hard, you will still have a chance to be appreciated by the head coach, which will be of great benefit to future games.
If he doesn't fight hard, then he will probably lose the trust of Jerry Sloan and push him back to the bench.
After comparing the two, it is of course necessary to fight hard, even if the opponent is Ye Qingchen, the well-deserved No. [-] bully in the NBA.
Pause ends, game continues!
When Karl Malone learned that Mike Brown had become the main defense against Ye Qingchen, he had a playful look on his face.
He knew that the head coach definitely had his own ideas for this arrangement, and he definitely wanted Mike Brown to do some aggressive defensive moves.
This makes Karl Malone very excited, because he knows that Mike Brown is not weaker than himself, and his defensive ability is also quite good.
Then when he defended Ye Qingchen, he must have a good effect.
As for himself, he can focus on the offensive end without expending too much energy.
I have to say that Jerry Sloan's defensive arrangement this time is quite methodical. He considered Karl Malone's physical condition, so he appropriately reduced his pressure on the defensive end.
And Mike Brown himself is a blue-collar player, and he is used more as a defender.
So, this time he asked Mike Brown to be dirty on the defensive end, just hoping that Mike Brown would cause Ye Qingchen a lot of trouble.
After returning from the timeout, the morale of the Jazz players has improved a lot. They have become more patient on the offensive end. After continuous pick-and-roll and pass the ball, they can always find good shooting opportunities and make shots.
This result was expected by Ye Qingchen before.
The Jazz are not a weak team, they have a strong ability to adjust.
Coupled with the tacit cooperation of the "Utah Shuangsha", they will always explode for a while.
However, Ye Qingchen is not very worried about the Jazz's outbreak, because as long as the Lakers maintain their current shooting percentage on the offensive end, the Jazz will have no chance to overtake.
Now the defenses of both sides are still unable to help both sides, and the game seems to have entered a tug-of-war.
After Ye Qingchen switched to playing off the ball, he started running crazily.
Mike Brown has been following Ye Qingchen tightly all the time, even though he can't keep up many times, he will never give up his defense against Ye Qingchen.
Although he tried his best to defend Ye Qingchen, the effect was mediocre.
It's just that Mike Brown never cared about his own defensive effect. His idea was to always stand in front of Ye Qingchen and try to prevent him from easily receiving the ball or scoring opportunities.
Even Ye Qingchen was surprised by Mike Brown's defensive enthusiasm and attitude.
It's not that Mike Brown's defensive ability is very strong, but his spirit is very tough.
Even if he is completely thrown away by himself, Mike Brown will appear in front of him in the shortest possible time.
This is something that many players cannot do, especially for some big-name stars. If the player they are defending has a gap, they will directly choose to give up this defense.
But Mike Brown is not like this. Ever since the Lakers started attacking with the ball, he has been stuck in front of Ye Qingchen, never leaving.
However, Ye Qingchen's appreciation is nothing but appreciation, but when it's time to score, he will score crazily, and he will not be soft at all.
Ye Qingchen even scored consecutively under Mike Brown's defense.
But even so, Mike Brown never let up on Ye Qingchen's defense, and he didn't even see a frustrated look on his face.
This kind of defensive enthusiasm shocked Ye Qingchen. He wanted to see when this Mike Brown would collapse.
So, Ye Qingchen is excited!
He was constantly running around the screens of his teammates, then got rid of Mike Brown to score shots, or cut to the basket to complete dunks.
Ye Qingchen beat Mike Brown straight away!
This result made Jerry Sloan feel quite powerless.
He himself could see that Mike Brown had really achieved the ultimate. He couldn't find any faults in his defense, and he could only blame Ye Qingchen's offensive ability for being too strong.
Towards the end of the second quarter, Jerry Sloan on the sidelines made a gesture towards Mike Brown, who was trying to defend.
At this time, after seeing the gesture of head coach Jerry Sloan, Mike Brown's face instantly became extremely serious.
Even Ye Qingchen saw the determination in Mike Brown's eyes.
This surprised Ye Qingchen, he didn't know the meaning of Jerry Sloan's gesture.
But the look in Mike Brown's eyes made Ye Qingchen a little vigilant, he felt that this Mike Brown might be going black.
Sure enough, the first time Ye Qingchen received the ball after getting rid of it this time, he was fouled by Mike Brown.
And Mike Brown's foul action this time is very big and very dangerous.
Ye Qingchen was already catching the ball and jumping in the air to shoot, but Mike Brown pushed Ye Qingchen's waist with both hands, trying to make him lose his balance in the air, and then missed the shot.
Ye Qingchen's waist and abdomen are very strong. When being pushed to the waist, he was able to stabilize his body and land on the ground firmly, avoiding injuries.
The referee's whistle sounded in time, and Ye Qingchen had a chance to make a free throw.
After landing, Ye Qingchen looked back at Mike Brown who fouled him, with a very calm expression.
Mike Brown saw the contempt in Ye Qingchen's eyes, which made him even more depressed.
He also thought it would be bad to keep fouling Ye Qingchen?
If he angered him, would he really be knocked to the ground with a punch?
But thinking that if he could really irritate Ye Qingchen and even take the initiative to attack him, then Jerry Sloan would definitely look at him with admiration.
Mike Brown has become extremely looking forward to his own rotation in the future.
Therefore, for Ye Qingchen's fear, Mike Brown has reduced a lot.
After Mike Brown fouled here, Karl Malone on the side spread his hands, indicating that Mike Brown did not foul this time.
Ye Qingchen looked at Karl Malone, who had exploded in acting, with a playful face, and joked directly:
"None of your teammates have such good acting skills as you. You really opened my eyes!"
Karl Malone chose to ignore Ye Qingchen's mockery of Karl Malone.
After all, he still can't talk to Ye Qingchen when it comes to talking trash.
He just wanted to see if Ye Qingchen would become furious under the constant intentional fouls from teammate Mike Brown.
If there is such a furious emotion, he is likely to attack Mike Brown.
At that time, Ye Qingchen will have only one fate, and that is to be expelled directly.
As long as Ye Qingchen is expelled from the field, the Jazz will have an absolute upper hand in this game, and they can even win the game in one go.
Thinking of this, Karl Malone also patted Mike Brown on the shoulder excitedly and said:
"Good job!"
"That's the way to defend him!"
"Don't worry, I will be the first to appear in front of you if something happens!"
Karl Malone is obviously giving Mike Brown blood, so that he can continue to continue this defensive attitude.
And Mike Brown here also believes in Karl Malone's words of encouragement.
After Ye Qingchen made two free throws, the Jazz's Stockton and Karl Malone easily scored two points in the pick-and-roll.
It's the Lakers' offense again!
It was Byron Scott who dribbled the ball across the half court for the Lakers, while Ye Qingchen ran slowly to the frontcourt.
At this time, Mike Brown had already appeared beside Ye Qingchen, staring at Ye Qingchen's moving direction very vigilantly.
Obviously, Mike Brown was not going to let Ye Qingchen catch the ball easily.
For Mike Brown's sudden change of defensive style, Ye Qingchen knew that it must be Jerry Sloan's intention.
Therefore, Ye Qingchen also wanted to see how much this Mike Brown could go too far.
If he really fouls himself recklessly, Ye Qingchen doesn't mind letting him know what real confrontation is.
At this time, Divac has come to the top of the arc to catch the ball, and Byron Scott and Keith Owens have pulled away to the bottom corners on the left and right.
As for Ye Qingchen, he came to a position near the free throw line under the cover of Perkins.
Divac passed the ball to Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen made a fake shot, and Mike Brown rushed forward.
Ye Qingchen successfully sent Mike Brown flying away!
At this time, the Jazz's defender at the basket has Karl Malone left, which is Ye Qingchen's goal.
You Karl Malone don't want to take the initiative to defend me, so I will find a way to appear in front of you and take the initiative to attack you.
After being swayed, Mike Brown turned around as soon as he landed, intending to foul Ye Qingchen immediately.
And Karl Malone, who was guarding the basket, saw Ye Qingchen break through again and came in front of him, his expression was very ugly.
Therefore, he didn't care too much, and absolutely couldn't let Ye Qingchen easily score again in front of him.
And Karl Malone also noticed that Mike Brown behind Ye Qingchen rushed towards Ye Qingchen, apparently trying to foul Ye Qingchen.
Seeing this situation, Karl Malone also decided to let go of his hands and feet and foul Ye Qingchen. Under the siege of the two, Ye Qingchen would definitely not be able to score easily.
Mike Brown directly pushed Ye Qingchen's back fiercely with both hands. Although Ye Qingchen was on guard, but being pushed so hard by Mike Brown, he couldn't help but bumped forward towards Karl Malone.
When Karl Malone saw Ye Qingchen bumping into him, he went up to him and pushed Ye Qingchen's chest.
Ye Qingchen was flanked both front and back, making him unable to make a shot at all this time, but the referee's whistle also blew at this time.
Ye Qingchen directly held the ball in his arms with one hand, then turned his head to look at Mike Brown who was pushing him behind him, and said calmly:
"You only have the ability to foul?"
Mike Brown was silent about Ye Qingchen's ridicule, and just glanced at Ye Qingchen indifferently.
Seeing Mike Brown's expression, Ye Qingchen already knew what he was thinking.
This guy definitely hoped that he would take the initiative to attack him, and then lie directly on the ground to win the referee's sympathy.
This made Ye Qingchen start to get bored with Mike Brown, and even this damned Karl Malone fouled him a lot.
The Lakers fans at the scene booed hugely, quite dissatisfied with the fouls committed by Mike Brown and Karl Malone.
The referee here also immediately came among the three to prevent further escalation of the situation.
Karl Malone complained directly to the referee at this time:
"Hey, referee, we just made an ordinary foul, but he threatened my teammates instead, I think you need to call him a technical foul!"
Karl Malone knows how to turn right from wrong, Ye Qingchen gave him a thumbs up after hearing what he said.
Of course, the referee would not listen to what Karl Malone said. He signaled the two sides to stop talking and let the Lakers players continue to kick off.
Karl Malone had a look of regret, and Mike Brown stuck in front of Ye Qingchen again.
The Lakers kick off is Divac, who looks for an open teammate on the baseline.
Ye Qingchen was surrounded by Jazz players, and it was almost impossible to catch the ball easily.
However, at this moment, Ye Qingchen's heart was already full of anger.
At this time, Mike Brown had already directly pulled him. After Ye Qingchen shook continuously, he finally found a space to run up.
He quickly rushed from the free throw line to the basket!
Seeing Ye Qingchen rushing towards the basket, Divac threw the basketball towards the basket without hesitation.
Mike Brown followed Ye Qingchen and yelled at Karl Malone after seeing Divac's pass:
"quick!"
"Pull out the basketball!"
Karl Malone was already the tallest player on the Jazz, so it was his responsibility to disrupt the pass.
He jumped up hard, trying to get the basketball.
Ye Qingchen in front of him has already jumped in the air, how could he let Karl Malone destroy the basketball?
When Karl Malone wanted to slap the basketball away, he found that Ye Qingchen had firmly caught the basketball with one hand!
Seeing this situation, Karl Malone's eyes were tearing apart!
In an instant, he regretted that he went for basketball!
He should go straight to Ye Qingchen!
Because that's the only way to stop Ye Qingchen from scoring!
But it's useless to regret!
Ye Qingchen had already lifted the basketball steadily in the air, holding the posture of burning the sky, and facing Karl Malone, he slammed the ball towards the basket!
"Boom!"
A dull voice sounded, and the basketball was smashed into the hoop. Karl Malone watched Ye Qingchen dunk on his head in horror and anger.
After the dunk was completed, Ye Qingchen landed lightly, and then stretched out two fingers to Karl Malone:
"This is the second time I've dunked you!"
"Don't worry, I'm going to dunk you many times, this is just the beginning!"
Ye Qingchen's words made Mike Brown behind him feel horrified.
After he was freed by Ye Qingchen, he wanted to follow up and foul Ye Qingchen immediately, but it was too late.
Therefore, he clearly saw how Ye Qingchen dunked Karl Malone.
Then he heard Ye Qingchen say that this was only the second time, and there were still many times to dunk Karl Malone.
This is a blatant threat.
Mike Brown started to feel lucky that the head coach asked him to defend Ye Qingchen, which saved him from the risk of being dunked by Ye Qingchen.
And Karl Malone, who was in charge of defense, was indeed very passive, and he could even see deep anger in Karl Malone's eyes.
Karl Malone here also showed great anger after hearing Ye Qingchen's ridicule:
"You better stop trying to dunk on my head!"
"Otherwise your end will be quite miserable!"
Karl Malone said these two sentences through gritted teeth.
It could be seen that his back molars were about to be crushed.
However, Ye Qingchen didn't take Karl Malone's cruel words to heart at all.
Ye Qingchen hoped that Karl Malone would be tough on him, so that he would be able to deal with him properly.
However, judging from Karl Malone's current performance, it seems that he is indeed full of fear of Ye Qingchen.
This made Ye Qingchen feel a little disappointed, why are these villains so cowardly?
The way Jennifer Connelly looks at Ye Qingchen at this moment has changed dramatically.
At the beginning, her eyes were disdainful.
Now, her eyes are full of admiration.
She has made up her mind that even if Nicole Kidman doesn't introduce Ye Qingchen to her, she will take the initiative to get to know Ye Qingchen herself.
Moreover, she has also made a decision to admit that her previous remarks were wrong immediately after the game.
She wanted to tell the media that Ye Qingchen was much better than Michael Jordan.
I believe that after her clarification this time, Ye Qingchen should have a change in her opinion, and then he can get close to Ye Qingchen.
In fact, after watching Ye Qingchen's game, Jennifer Connelly felt the love of the fans for Ye Qingchen. She knew that there was something huge behind Ye Qingchen.
This is the star effect!
You know, this is only Ye Qingchen's first season, and he can already be compared with Michael Jordan.
This illustrates a problem, Ye Qingchen's influence is huge.
Even surpassed Michael Jordan!
Michael Jordan has entered the league from 1984 to today, and it is already his eighth year of professional career.
It took him eight years to get the honor he is today, and finally reach the No. 1 throne in the league.
However, before this seat was warm enough, Ye Qingchen appeared out of nowhere and completely stole his limelight.
In the rookie season, he was able to get a large triple-double with an average of 30+ per game, and he still won the All-Star Weekend Three-point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest.
Moreover, in the case of being suspended and missing more than 30 games, he was able to lead the Lakers to the playoffs, and defeated the Sonics without bloodshed to enter the Western Conference semifinals.
This series of brilliant records alone is enough to beat Michael Jordan in his rookie season.
Therefore, at this time, Jennifer Connelly knew that if she could have a relationship with Ye Qingchen, it would definitely be of great help to her career.
That's why she's such a contrast in a pizza.
Nicole Kidman saw Jennifer Connelly's look of anticipation, and she knew that Ye Qingchen had successfully turned a passerby into a fan.
It seems that it only took half time!
There is still a minute and a half left before the end of the first half.
The score on the field has become 65:51.
The Jazz are still 14 points behind.
During this period, the Jazz had a counterattack and successfully narrowed the point difference to less than ten.
However, after Ye Qingchen decisively switched to playing off the ball, the Lakers quickly widened the point difference.
The Jazz players couldn't find a good way to limit Ye Qingchen's running without the ball, because Ye Qingchen was really good at running.
Mike Brown's physical strength is already quite good, and he persisted until this time before he began to feel exhausted.
This time, it was the Jazz's offense.
Stockton holds the ball at the top of the key, guarded by Byron Scott.
After Karl Malone stepped forward to cover, he turned around and came near the three-second zone.
After the pick-and-roll was completed, Karl Malone's turn and descent was quite smooth, and even Ye Qingchen who was beside him rarely nodded.
Putting aside the fact that Karl Malone used his body to open the way, there is still something about his turn.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be the top ten scoring player in NBA history.
His essence of pick-and-roll is really beyond the reach of ordinary inside players.
Karl Malone turned around this time, and Stockton immediately lobbed the ball into his hands.
James Worthy's supplementary defense was in place in time and blocked Karl Malone. This was a very good help defense.
However, after Karl Malone received the ball, he directly raised his pair of iron elbows and chose to directly raise and hit.
If you have the experience of playing basketball, you will know what the main function of Karl Malone's trick is.
The main reason why he chooses to play high after receiving the ball inside is to prevent defensive players from helping to defend in time.
Moreover, another advantage of playing high is that his elbows will wave when he catches the ball, which has a great deterrent effect on defensive players.
Under normal circumstances, seeing offensive players swinging their elbows, they will subconsciously show some fear, and then there will be a short pause in defensive actions.
Karl Malone was able to take this opportunity to easily put the ball into the basket.
However, this time James Worthy didn't notice Karl Malone's waving elbows, and directly blocked Karl Malone's offensive line.
As a result, Karl Malone's left elbow directly hit James Worthy's face, and the latter fell to the ground with a scream of pain.
Karl Malone's pair of iron elbows caused many people to suffer a lot. This time it was James Worthy who was unlucky.
The referee's whistle sounded in time to call Karl Malone's offensive foul.
For the referee's penalty, Karl Malone was quite frustrated. He complained to the referee, saying that James Worthy was a flop, and he didn't hit James Worthy at all.
The referee silently glanced at James Worthy, who was lying on the ground covered in blood, and then said to Karl Malone:
"Is that what you said you didn't hit him?"
When Karl Malone looked at James Worthy's face, he found that the corners of his eyebrows were cracked and blood was flowing.
"He took the initiative to collide with my elbow with his face!"
Karl Malone continued to quibble.
After hearing Karl Malone's sophistry, Ye Qingchen on the side was refreshed:
"I've seen a lot of shameless people. This is really the first time I've seen a shameless person like you!"
Ye Qingchen was very angry at the fact that his teammate James Worthy was injured by Karl Malone, so he directly confronted Karl Malone.
"What I said is the truth. If he didn't take the initiative to lean forward, he would never have been hit by me!"
Karl Malone argues.
Seeing this situation, the referee immediately came over to stop the dispute between the two, and signaled the Lakers doctor on the sidelines to come up and bandage James Worthy's wound.
The Lakers fans at the scene were instantly unhappy when they saw that the players of the home team were injured by such serious injuries by Karl Malone.
They cursed Karl Malone loudly, and even Jennifer Connelly expressed anger at Karl Malone's bad behavior:
"Damn, he's a total bitch!"
"This kind of dangerous action should never have appeared on the basketball court. He definitely did it on purpose!"
Nicole Kidman on the side was surprised by Jennifer Connelly's atmosphere:
"It seems that you have become a home fan."
Nicole Kidman's ridicule caused a rare embarrassment on Jennifer Connelly's face:
"I'm just telling the truth, this kind of player is really annoying!"
"Don't worry, he won't be jumping for too long, because I saw Ye just smiled!"
Nicole Kidman's words made Jennifer Connelly curious:
"What do you mean? Does it mean something when he smiles?"
"Look, he smiled to show that he was angry, this Karl Malone will not end well in this game!"
Nicole Kidman is also a die-hard fan of Ye Qingchen, and she often plays friendly matches with Ye Qingchen. She is quite familiar with Ye Qingchen's character.
Ye Qingchen usually shows no expression of emotion or anger, and most of the time he plays on the court with a calm face.
However, if Ye Qingchen suddenly smiled at a certain opponent, then this opponent really needs to be vigilant.
Because of Ye Qingchen's smile, life and death are unpredictable.
But now, Ye Qingchen was amused by Karl Malone's words, which meant that Ye Qingchen was angry.
After hearing Nicole Kidman's explanation, Jennifer Connelly had a joyful expression on her face:
"really?"
"Then I really have to wait and see to see what tough response he will make!"
While Jennifer Connelly and Nicole Kidman were chatting, James Worthy was already helped by his teammates to the sidelines for emergency treatment and bandaging.
Judging from his injury, this game should not be able to continue.
Moreover, it can be clearly seen from the playback that James Worthy's hit was really not light.
After the game, even a concussion test is required to confirm whether there is a concussion.
The end of James Worthy actually has a considerable impact on the Lakers' lineup.
Although Ye Qingchen's offensive ability is very strong, James Worthy is also an All-Star player at any rate. He can restrain the Jazz on the court, and he dare not easily let go of his defense.
In this way, the space for the Lakers' offense will be widened, and the Lakers' offense will have relatively more options.
But now that James Worthy is injured, the Lakers' offense and defense will decline to a certain extent.
This is definitely not good news for the Lakers.
And the culprit, Karl Malone, just got an ordinary offensive foul, which had no effect at all.
In other words, the Jazz used an ordinary offensive foul to exchange a general of the Lakers. This deal is really a bargain.
Old Dengtou was very angry with Karl Malone's behavior, and he gave another crazy output to the referee.
Then, he was awarded a technical foul by the referee.
The fans at the scene were also quite dissatisfied with the head coach being punished for technical fouls. They believed that the referee was simply favoring the Jazz.
Karl Malone's action just now was a proper malicious foul, and Karl Malone should be expelled on the spot.
However, the dissatisfaction of the fans did not affect the referees at all, but the morale of the Jazz players began to rise.
After all, one of the main players of the Lakers is off due to injury, so their offense will be relatively easier.
The old Deng here began to struggle with who to replace.
Today's Lakers lineup includes Ye Qingchen, Byron Scott, Keith Owens and Divac, and of course Perkins.
But Divac and Perkins are not particularly good defensively. If these two play at the same time, the Lakers' offensive rhythm will be slowed down, and they may be targeted by the Jazz.
However, if Perkins is not mentioned as a substitute, the Lakers' defense inside will be even weaker.
In desperation, Lao Dengtou had to replace Perkins again.
Ye Qingchen just stood aside silently this time, and didn't express any opinion on Lao Dengtou's tactical arrangement.
After the timeout ends, the game continues.
There is still one minute and ten seconds before the second quarter.
Lakers offense!
Ye Qingchen still mainly plays off the ball. Under the cover of his teammates without the ball, Ye Qingchen catches the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left.
After receiving the ball, Mike Brown was the first to stand in front of Ye Qingchen.
At this time, Ye Qingchen didn't want to have too much entanglement with Mike Brown, because he saw that Karl Malone was guarding the inside.
At this time, of course it is necessary to rush in and buckle Karl Malone!
Therefore, Ye Qingchen directly forcibly broke through Mike Brown's defense with the ball, and pushed him away in an instant. After pushing away, Ye Qingchen had already reached the vicinity of the three-second zone.
Apart from anything else, he collected the ball and started, and took off with one foot directly against Karl Malone's defense!
After Karl Malone saw Ye Qingchen pushed Mike Brown away, he realized that Ye Qingchen would continue to attack him.
Since he has already committed three personal fouls, Karl Malone doesn't want to waste fouls on Ye Qingchen.
Therefore, Karl Malone actually got out of the way, allowing Ye Qingchen to easily complete the dunk this time!
Even Ye Qingchen was very depressed by Karl Malone's operation.
His original intention was to dunk Karl Malone again and break his mentality.
But now he actually stepped aside on his own initiative!
This made Ye Qingchen feel like he had punched the cotton, feeling like he couldn't use his strength!
The Lakers fans at the scene immediately cheered loudly. They were quite satisfied with Ye Qingchen's tough response this time.
And the commentator at the scene also said with emotion at the moment:
"Carl, the famous villain in the league, will not dare to defend himself one day!"
"Although he has already committed three fouls, it is a naked humiliation for Ye to complete the dunk in front of him like this!"
After hearing the commentator's words, the fans at the scene burst into laughter instantly.
They felt that what the commentator said was quite correct. At this time, Karl Malone could not be said to be a tough guy, but only a soft guy.
"You're really right!"
"He really had a strong response right away!"
Jennifer Connelly said to Nicole Kidman excitedly.
"Where did this go?"
"His response doesn't stop there!"
Nicole Kidman said confidently.
For Nicole Kidman's words, Jennifer Connelly is even more excited:
"really?"
"Then I really have to wait and see!"
Watching Ye Qingchen complete a dunk in front of him, Karl Malone was of course very upset.
However, this is his last choice.
The team needed him to continue to play a role on the offensive end, so they couldn't blame Ye Qingchen for the foul.
Ye Qingchen immediately told Divac and Perkins to be careful of Karl Malone's offensive moves after dunking.
Divac and Perkins nodded at the same time, of course they knew Karl Malone's brutality.
Jazz attack!
Another pick-and-roll between Karl Malone and Stockton.
It was Perkins who defended Karl Malone. He followed Karl Malone to the top of the arc, not wanting Karl Malone to have an easy pick-and-roll opportunity.
But Karl Malone's pick-and-roll screen did a good job, and Perkins had no way to get in front of him.
Therefore, a defense change was formed immediately.
The defender in front of Stockton became Perkins, and the defender in front of Karl Malone became Byron Scott.
In such a dislocation situation, the basketball will of course be passed to Karl Malone immediately.
After receiving the ball, Karl Malone dribbled the ball to the basket in the simplest and most aggressive way.
At this time, it was Divac who guarded the basket, and Ye Qingchen also came back immediately to help defend.
Ye Qingchen had a premonition that this time Karl Malone might launch a strong impact on Divac again.
Therefore, Ye Qingchen wanted to appear in front of Karl Malone immediately and block his way.
But I never thought that Ye Qingchen was pulled from behind by the players of the Jazz, preventing him from appearing behind Karl Malone in time.
The referee's attention has been focused on Karl Malone.
Divac has become the perfect candidate to defend Karl Malone head-on.
Divac is really afraid of Karl Malone. His idea is to directly foul Karl Malone and send him to the free throw line.
Don't let him have the chance to attack him!
Therefore, when Karl Malone appeared in front of him, he immediately reached out to pull Karl Malone.
Originally, this was a normal foul action, and under normal circumstances, it can prevent offensive players from continuing to attack.
However, when Karl Malone saw that Divac wanted to foul himself, his eyes instantly became fierce.
He doesn't want to waste this opportunity of attack, he wants to make two plus one.
Therefore, Karl Malone raised his left elbow again and put it in front of him.
Divac never thought that Karl Malone would support his elbow at the last moment.
As a result, Divac's chest was inevitably hit directly by Ye Qingchen's elbow.
Divac's expression instantly became ferocious, and the severe pain made him lose control of his expression, and then he exhaled in pain:
"what!"
Immediately, Divac fell to the ground.
But here, Karl Malone dunked the ball into the basket hard at the first time.
After a moment of hesitation, the referee chose not to blow the whistle.
Because the place where Karl Malone and Divac collided is already a reasonable collision zone.
Moreover, from the referee's point of view, Divac wanted to cause Karl Malone's offensive foul, so he fell to the ground so exaggeratedly.
Therefore, he will not whistle for Karl Malone's offensive foul this time!
When Ye Qingchen saw Divac fell to the ground screaming in pain, he already had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Because he knew that Divac would not flop under normal circumstances.
Unless it was really hit hard!
Looking at Divac's painful expression on the ground, Ye Qingchen's heart became even heavier.
Divac was probably injured by Karl Malone!
Are the Lakers' two major inside pillars injured?
This is not good news!
"Damn!"
"That was an offensive foul!"
"He's got an elbow!"
Jennifer Connelly shouted excitedly.
Ask for a monthly ticket and ask for a follow-up order.
(End of this chapter)
Mike Brown is very concerned about coach Jerry Sloan's exhortations.
He knew that this time was his chance, and if he did well, he would have a chance to be included in the starting list.
You know, playing in the NBA, except for the starting five players, the rest of the bench players are actually pretty much the same level.
They basically lack a chance to prove themselves.
And this opportunity requires the referee to trust them.
Therefore, Mike Brown feels that now is the time for Jerry Sloan to have confidence in himself.
Of course, Mike Brown is very familiar with Ye Qingchen.
He was even able to know all about Ye Qingchen's deeds. He made Karl Malone lie on the hospital bed several times. In fact, Mike Brown felt that Ye Qingchen had helped him a lot.
Because if it wasn't for Ye Qingchen's injury to Karl Malone, he wouldn't have had so many chances to play.
You know, before Karl Malone was injured, he couldn't even enter the Jazz's rotation.
However, when Karl Malone fell into Ye Qingchen's hands again and again, Mike Brown had a chance to enter the Jazz's rotation.
Therefore, Mike Brown cherishes this opportunity very much, and he also works very hard on the basketball court. His performance has been recognized by Jerry Sloan and he has become the No. 1 choice for the team's backup center.
For Mike Brown, what he wants is not much, that is, to play good-looking personal data as much as possible in the limited playing time.
This is very important for his next labor contract. As long as his data looks good, he will have the opportunity to sign a middle-class contract to ensure that he will have a worry-free life in a few years.
Don't look at the high annual salaries of many NBA stars, but in fact, low-level players like Mike Brown account for the majority.
Their salaries are only around $50 a year, and rarely more than a million dollars a year.
Moreover, if these substitute players cannot get enough playing time, it will be difficult for them to maintain their competitive state.
The less playing time, the less opportunities they have to express themselves, and the more they want to get the chance to play.
At this time, Mike Brown just felt that the opportunity was in front of him, and he had to firmly grasp this opportunity in his own hands.
Although he knew that Ye Qingchen was not someone to mess with, but for his own future, Mike Brown decided to take the risk.
If you fight hard, you will still have a chance to be appreciated by the head coach, which will be of great benefit to future games.
If he doesn't fight hard, then he will probably lose the trust of Jerry Sloan and push him back to the bench.
After comparing the two, it is of course necessary to fight hard, even if the opponent is Ye Qingchen, the well-deserved No. [-] bully in the NBA.
Pause ends, game continues!
When Karl Malone learned that Mike Brown had become the main defense against Ye Qingchen, he had a playful look on his face.
He knew that the head coach definitely had his own ideas for this arrangement, and he definitely wanted Mike Brown to do some aggressive defensive moves.
This makes Karl Malone very excited, because he knows that Mike Brown is not weaker than himself, and his defensive ability is also quite good.
Then when he defended Ye Qingchen, he must have a good effect.
As for himself, he can focus on the offensive end without expending too much energy.
I have to say that Jerry Sloan's defensive arrangement this time is quite methodical. He considered Karl Malone's physical condition, so he appropriately reduced his pressure on the defensive end.
And Mike Brown himself is a blue-collar player, and he is used more as a defender.
So, this time he asked Mike Brown to be dirty on the defensive end, just hoping that Mike Brown would cause Ye Qingchen a lot of trouble.
After returning from the timeout, the morale of the Jazz players has improved a lot. They have become more patient on the offensive end. After continuous pick-and-roll and pass the ball, they can always find good shooting opportunities and make shots.
This result was expected by Ye Qingchen before.
The Jazz are not a weak team, they have a strong ability to adjust.
Coupled with the tacit cooperation of the "Utah Shuangsha", they will always explode for a while.
However, Ye Qingchen is not very worried about the Jazz's outbreak, because as long as the Lakers maintain their current shooting percentage on the offensive end, the Jazz will have no chance to overtake.
Now the defenses of both sides are still unable to help both sides, and the game seems to have entered a tug-of-war.
After Ye Qingchen switched to playing off the ball, he started running crazily.
Mike Brown has been following Ye Qingchen tightly all the time, even though he can't keep up many times, he will never give up his defense against Ye Qingchen.
Although he tried his best to defend Ye Qingchen, the effect was mediocre.
It's just that Mike Brown never cared about his own defensive effect. His idea was to always stand in front of Ye Qingchen and try to prevent him from easily receiving the ball or scoring opportunities.
Even Ye Qingchen was surprised by Mike Brown's defensive enthusiasm and attitude.
It's not that Mike Brown's defensive ability is very strong, but his spirit is very tough.
Even if he is completely thrown away by himself, Mike Brown will appear in front of him in the shortest possible time.
This is something that many players cannot do, especially for some big-name stars. If the player they are defending has a gap, they will directly choose to give up this defense.
But Mike Brown is not like this. Ever since the Lakers started attacking with the ball, he has been stuck in front of Ye Qingchen, never leaving.
However, Ye Qingchen's appreciation is nothing but appreciation, but when it's time to score, he will score crazily, and he will not be soft at all.
Ye Qingchen even scored consecutively under Mike Brown's defense.
But even so, Mike Brown never let up on Ye Qingchen's defense, and he didn't even see a frustrated look on his face.
This kind of defensive enthusiasm shocked Ye Qingchen. He wanted to see when this Mike Brown would collapse.
So, Ye Qingchen is excited!
He was constantly running around the screens of his teammates, then got rid of Mike Brown to score shots, or cut to the basket to complete dunks.
Ye Qingchen beat Mike Brown straight away!
This result made Jerry Sloan feel quite powerless.
He himself could see that Mike Brown had really achieved the ultimate. He couldn't find any faults in his defense, and he could only blame Ye Qingchen's offensive ability for being too strong.
Towards the end of the second quarter, Jerry Sloan on the sidelines made a gesture towards Mike Brown, who was trying to defend.
At this time, after seeing the gesture of head coach Jerry Sloan, Mike Brown's face instantly became extremely serious.
Even Ye Qingchen saw the determination in Mike Brown's eyes.
This surprised Ye Qingchen, he didn't know the meaning of Jerry Sloan's gesture.
But the look in Mike Brown's eyes made Ye Qingchen a little vigilant, he felt that this Mike Brown might be going black.
Sure enough, the first time Ye Qingchen received the ball after getting rid of it this time, he was fouled by Mike Brown.
And Mike Brown's foul action this time is very big and very dangerous.
Ye Qingchen was already catching the ball and jumping in the air to shoot, but Mike Brown pushed Ye Qingchen's waist with both hands, trying to make him lose his balance in the air, and then missed the shot.
Ye Qingchen's waist and abdomen are very strong. When being pushed to the waist, he was able to stabilize his body and land on the ground firmly, avoiding injuries.
The referee's whistle sounded in time, and Ye Qingchen had a chance to make a free throw.
After landing, Ye Qingchen looked back at Mike Brown who fouled him, with a very calm expression.
Mike Brown saw the contempt in Ye Qingchen's eyes, which made him even more depressed.
He also thought it would be bad to keep fouling Ye Qingchen?
If he angered him, would he really be knocked to the ground with a punch?
But thinking that if he could really irritate Ye Qingchen and even take the initiative to attack him, then Jerry Sloan would definitely look at him with admiration.
Mike Brown has become extremely looking forward to his own rotation in the future.
Therefore, for Ye Qingchen's fear, Mike Brown has reduced a lot.
After Mike Brown fouled here, Karl Malone on the side spread his hands, indicating that Mike Brown did not foul this time.
Ye Qingchen looked at Karl Malone, who had exploded in acting, with a playful face, and joked directly:
"None of your teammates have such good acting skills as you. You really opened my eyes!"
Karl Malone chose to ignore Ye Qingchen's mockery of Karl Malone.
After all, he still can't talk to Ye Qingchen when it comes to talking trash.
He just wanted to see if Ye Qingchen would become furious under the constant intentional fouls from teammate Mike Brown.
If there is such a furious emotion, he is likely to attack Mike Brown.
At that time, Ye Qingchen will have only one fate, and that is to be expelled directly.
As long as Ye Qingchen is expelled from the field, the Jazz will have an absolute upper hand in this game, and they can even win the game in one go.
Thinking of this, Karl Malone also patted Mike Brown on the shoulder excitedly and said:
"Good job!"
"That's the way to defend him!"
"Don't worry, I will be the first to appear in front of you if something happens!"
Karl Malone is obviously giving Mike Brown blood, so that he can continue to continue this defensive attitude.
And Mike Brown here also believes in Karl Malone's words of encouragement.
After Ye Qingchen made two free throws, the Jazz's Stockton and Karl Malone easily scored two points in the pick-and-roll.
It's the Lakers' offense again!
It was Byron Scott who dribbled the ball across the half court for the Lakers, while Ye Qingchen ran slowly to the frontcourt.
At this time, Mike Brown had already appeared beside Ye Qingchen, staring at Ye Qingchen's moving direction very vigilantly.
Obviously, Mike Brown was not going to let Ye Qingchen catch the ball easily.
For Mike Brown's sudden change of defensive style, Ye Qingchen knew that it must be Jerry Sloan's intention.
Therefore, Ye Qingchen also wanted to see how much this Mike Brown could go too far.
If he really fouls himself recklessly, Ye Qingchen doesn't mind letting him know what real confrontation is.
At this time, Divac has come to the top of the arc to catch the ball, and Byron Scott and Keith Owens have pulled away to the bottom corners on the left and right.
As for Ye Qingchen, he came to a position near the free throw line under the cover of Perkins.
Divac passed the ball to Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen made a fake shot, and Mike Brown rushed forward.
Ye Qingchen successfully sent Mike Brown flying away!
At this time, the Jazz's defender at the basket has Karl Malone left, which is Ye Qingchen's goal.
You Karl Malone don't want to take the initiative to defend me, so I will find a way to appear in front of you and take the initiative to attack you.
After being swayed, Mike Brown turned around as soon as he landed, intending to foul Ye Qingchen immediately.
And Karl Malone, who was guarding the basket, saw Ye Qingchen break through again and came in front of him, his expression was very ugly.
Therefore, he didn't care too much, and absolutely couldn't let Ye Qingchen easily score again in front of him.
And Karl Malone also noticed that Mike Brown behind Ye Qingchen rushed towards Ye Qingchen, apparently trying to foul Ye Qingchen.
Seeing this situation, Karl Malone also decided to let go of his hands and feet and foul Ye Qingchen. Under the siege of the two, Ye Qingchen would definitely not be able to score easily.
Mike Brown directly pushed Ye Qingchen's back fiercely with both hands. Although Ye Qingchen was on guard, but being pushed so hard by Mike Brown, he couldn't help but bumped forward towards Karl Malone.
When Karl Malone saw Ye Qingchen bumping into him, he went up to him and pushed Ye Qingchen's chest.
Ye Qingchen was flanked both front and back, making him unable to make a shot at all this time, but the referee's whistle also blew at this time.
Ye Qingchen directly held the ball in his arms with one hand, then turned his head to look at Mike Brown who was pushing him behind him, and said calmly:
"You only have the ability to foul?"
Mike Brown was silent about Ye Qingchen's ridicule, and just glanced at Ye Qingchen indifferently.
Seeing Mike Brown's expression, Ye Qingchen already knew what he was thinking.
This guy definitely hoped that he would take the initiative to attack him, and then lie directly on the ground to win the referee's sympathy.
This made Ye Qingchen start to get bored with Mike Brown, and even this damned Karl Malone fouled him a lot.
The Lakers fans at the scene booed hugely, quite dissatisfied with the fouls committed by Mike Brown and Karl Malone.
The referee here also immediately came among the three to prevent further escalation of the situation.
Karl Malone complained directly to the referee at this time:
"Hey, referee, we just made an ordinary foul, but he threatened my teammates instead, I think you need to call him a technical foul!"
Karl Malone knows how to turn right from wrong, Ye Qingchen gave him a thumbs up after hearing what he said.
Of course, the referee would not listen to what Karl Malone said. He signaled the two sides to stop talking and let the Lakers players continue to kick off.
Karl Malone had a look of regret, and Mike Brown stuck in front of Ye Qingchen again.
The Lakers kick off is Divac, who looks for an open teammate on the baseline.
Ye Qingchen was surrounded by Jazz players, and it was almost impossible to catch the ball easily.
However, at this moment, Ye Qingchen's heart was already full of anger.
At this time, Mike Brown had already directly pulled him. After Ye Qingchen shook continuously, he finally found a space to run up.
He quickly rushed from the free throw line to the basket!
Seeing Ye Qingchen rushing towards the basket, Divac threw the basketball towards the basket without hesitation.
Mike Brown followed Ye Qingchen and yelled at Karl Malone after seeing Divac's pass:
"quick!"
"Pull out the basketball!"
Karl Malone was already the tallest player on the Jazz, so it was his responsibility to disrupt the pass.
He jumped up hard, trying to get the basketball.
Ye Qingchen in front of him has already jumped in the air, how could he let Karl Malone destroy the basketball?
When Karl Malone wanted to slap the basketball away, he found that Ye Qingchen had firmly caught the basketball with one hand!
Seeing this situation, Karl Malone's eyes were tearing apart!
In an instant, he regretted that he went for basketball!
He should go straight to Ye Qingchen!
Because that's the only way to stop Ye Qingchen from scoring!
But it's useless to regret!
Ye Qingchen had already lifted the basketball steadily in the air, holding the posture of burning the sky, and facing Karl Malone, he slammed the ball towards the basket!
"Boom!"
A dull voice sounded, and the basketball was smashed into the hoop. Karl Malone watched Ye Qingchen dunk on his head in horror and anger.
After the dunk was completed, Ye Qingchen landed lightly, and then stretched out two fingers to Karl Malone:
"This is the second time I've dunked you!"
"Don't worry, I'm going to dunk you many times, this is just the beginning!"
Ye Qingchen's words made Mike Brown behind him feel horrified.
After he was freed by Ye Qingchen, he wanted to follow up and foul Ye Qingchen immediately, but it was too late.
Therefore, he clearly saw how Ye Qingchen dunked Karl Malone.
Then he heard Ye Qingchen say that this was only the second time, and there were still many times to dunk Karl Malone.
This is a blatant threat.
Mike Brown started to feel lucky that the head coach asked him to defend Ye Qingchen, which saved him from the risk of being dunked by Ye Qingchen.
And Karl Malone, who was in charge of defense, was indeed very passive, and he could even see deep anger in Karl Malone's eyes.
Karl Malone here also showed great anger after hearing Ye Qingchen's ridicule:
"You better stop trying to dunk on my head!"
"Otherwise your end will be quite miserable!"
Karl Malone said these two sentences through gritted teeth.
It could be seen that his back molars were about to be crushed.
However, Ye Qingchen didn't take Karl Malone's cruel words to heart at all.
Ye Qingchen hoped that Karl Malone would be tough on him, so that he would be able to deal with him properly.
However, judging from Karl Malone's current performance, it seems that he is indeed full of fear of Ye Qingchen.
This made Ye Qingchen feel a little disappointed, why are these villains so cowardly?
The way Jennifer Connelly looks at Ye Qingchen at this moment has changed dramatically.
At the beginning, her eyes were disdainful.
Now, her eyes are full of admiration.
She has made up her mind that even if Nicole Kidman doesn't introduce Ye Qingchen to her, she will take the initiative to get to know Ye Qingchen herself.
Moreover, she has also made a decision to admit that her previous remarks were wrong immediately after the game.
She wanted to tell the media that Ye Qingchen was much better than Michael Jordan.
I believe that after her clarification this time, Ye Qingchen should have a change in her opinion, and then he can get close to Ye Qingchen.
In fact, after watching Ye Qingchen's game, Jennifer Connelly felt the love of the fans for Ye Qingchen. She knew that there was something huge behind Ye Qingchen.
This is the star effect!
You know, this is only Ye Qingchen's first season, and he can already be compared with Michael Jordan.
This illustrates a problem, Ye Qingchen's influence is huge.
Even surpassed Michael Jordan!
Michael Jordan has entered the league from 1984 to today, and it is already his eighth year of professional career.
It took him eight years to get the honor he is today, and finally reach the No. 1 throne in the league.
However, before this seat was warm enough, Ye Qingchen appeared out of nowhere and completely stole his limelight.
In the rookie season, he was able to get a large triple-double with an average of 30+ per game, and he still won the All-Star Weekend Three-point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest.
Moreover, in the case of being suspended and missing more than 30 games, he was able to lead the Lakers to the playoffs, and defeated the Sonics without bloodshed to enter the Western Conference semifinals.
This series of brilliant records alone is enough to beat Michael Jordan in his rookie season.
Therefore, at this time, Jennifer Connelly knew that if she could have a relationship with Ye Qingchen, it would definitely be of great help to her career.
That's why she's such a contrast in a pizza.
Nicole Kidman saw Jennifer Connelly's look of anticipation, and she knew that Ye Qingchen had successfully turned a passerby into a fan.
It seems that it only took half time!
There is still a minute and a half left before the end of the first half.
The score on the field has become 65:51.
The Jazz are still 14 points behind.
During this period, the Jazz had a counterattack and successfully narrowed the point difference to less than ten.
However, after Ye Qingchen decisively switched to playing off the ball, the Lakers quickly widened the point difference.
The Jazz players couldn't find a good way to limit Ye Qingchen's running without the ball, because Ye Qingchen was really good at running.
Mike Brown's physical strength is already quite good, and he persisted until this time before he began to feel exhausted.
This time, it was the Jazz's offense.
Stockton holds the ball at the top of the key, guarded by Byron Scott.
After Karl Malone stepped forward to cover, he turned around and came near the three-second zone.
After the pick-and-roll was completed, Karl Malone's turn and descent was quite smooth, and even Ye Qingchen who was beside him rarely nodded.
Putting aside the fact that Karl Malone used his body to open the way, there is still something about his turn.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be the top ten scoring player in NBA history.
His essence of pick-and-roll is really beyond the reach of ordinary inside players.
Karl Malone turned around this time, and Stockton immediately lobbed the ball into his hands.
James Worthy's supplementary defense was in place in time and blocked Karl Malone. This was a very good help defense.
However, after Karl Malone received the ball, he directly raised his pair of iron elbows and chose to directly raise and hit.
If you have the experience of playing basketball, you will know what the main function of Karl Malone's trick is.
The main reason why he chooses to play high after receiving the ball inside is to prevent defensive players from helping to defend in time.
Moreover, another advantage of playing high is that his elbows will wave when he catches the ball, which has a great deterrent effect on defensive players.
Under normal circumstances, seeing offensive players swinging their elbows, they will subconsciously show some fear, and then there will be a short pause in defensive actions.
Karl Malone was able to take this opportunity to easily put the ball into the basket.
However, this time James Worthy didn't notice Karl Malone's waving elbows, and directly blocked Karl Malone's offensive line.
As a result, Karl Malone's left elbow directly hit James Worthy's face, and the latter fell to the ground with a scream of pain.
Karl Malone's pair of iron elbows caused many people to suffer a lot. This time it was James Worthy who was unlucky.
The referee's whistle sounded in time to call Karl Malone's offensive foul.
For the referee's penalty, Karl Malone was quite frustrated. He complained to the referee, saying that James Worthy was a flop, and he didn't hit James Worthy at all.
The referee silently glanced at James Worthy, who was lying on the ground covered in blood, and then said to Karl Malone:
"Is that what you said you didn't hit him?"
When Karl Malone looked at James Worthy's face, he found that the corners of his eyebrows were cracked and blood was flowing.
"He took the initiative to collide with my elbow with his face!"
Karl Malone continued to quibble.
After hearing Karl Malone's sophistry, Ye Qingchen on the side was refreshed:
"I've seen a lot of shameless people. This is really the first time I've seen a shameless person like you!"
Ye Qingchen was very angry at the fact that his teammate James Worthy was injured by Karl Malone, so he directly confronted Karl Malone.
"What I said is the truth. If he didn't take the initiative to lean forward, he would never have been hit by me!"
Karl Malone argues.
Seeing this situation, the referee immediately came over to stop the dispute between the two, and signaled the Lakers doctor on the sidelines to come up and bandage James Worthy's wound.
The Lakers fans at the scene were instantly unhappy when they saw that the players of the home team were injured by such serious injuries by Karl Malone.
They cursed Karl Malone loudly, and even Jennifer Connelly expressed anger at Karl Malone's bad behavior:
"Damn, he's a total bitch!"
"This kind of dangerous action should never have appeared on the basketball court. He definitely did it on purpose!"
Nicole Kidman on the side was surprised by Jennifer Connelly's atmosphere:
"It seems that you have become a home fan."
Nicole Kidman's ridicule caused a rare embarrassment on Jennifer Connelly's face:
"I'm just telling the truth, this kind of player is really annoying!"
"Don't worry, he won't be jumping for too long, because I saw Ye just smiled!"
Nicole Kidman's words made Jennifer Connelly curious:
"What do you mean? Does it mean something when he smiles?"
"Look, he smiled to show that he was angry, this Karl Malone will not end well in this game!"
Nicole Kidman is also a die-hard fan of Ye Qingchen, and she often plays friendly matches with Ye Qingchen. She is quite familiar with Ye Qingchen's character.
Ye Qingchen usually shows no expression of emotion or anger, and most of the time he plays on the court with a calm face.
However, if Ye Qingchen suddenly smiled at a certain opponent, then this opponent really needs to be vigilant.
Because of Ye Qingchen's smile, life and death are unpredictable.
But now, Ye Qingchen was amused by Karl Malone's words, which meant that Ye Qingchen was angry.
After hearing Nicole Kidman's explanation, Jennifer Connelly had a joyful expression on her face:
"really?"
"Then I really have to wait and see to see what tough response he will make!"
While Jennifer Connelly and Nicole Kidman were chatting, James Worthy was already helped by his teammates to the sidelines for emergency treatment and bandaging.
Judging from his injury, this game should not be able to continue.
Moreover, it can be clearly seen from the playback that James Worthy's hit was really not light.
After the game, even a concussion test is required to confirm whether there is a concussion.
The end of James Worthy actually has a considerable impact on the Lakers' lineup.
Although Ye Qingchen's offensive ability is very strong, James Worthy is also an All-Star player at any rate. He can restrain the Jazz on the court, and he dare not easily let go of his defense.
In this way, the space for the Lakers' offense will be widened, and the Lakers' offense will have relatively more options.
But now that James Worthy is injured, the Lakers' offense and defense will decline to a certain extent.
This is definitely not good news for the Lakers.
And the culprit, Karl Malone, just got an ordinary offensive foul, which had no effect at all.
In other words, the Jazz used an ordinary offensive foul to exchange a general of the Lakers. This deal is really a bargain.
Old Dengtou was very angry with Karl Malone's behavior, and he gave another crazy output to the referee.
Then, he was awarded a technical foul by the referee.
The fans at the scene were also quite dissatisfied with the head coach being punished for technical fouls. They believed that the referee was simply favoring the Jazz.
Karl Malone's action just now was a proper malicious foul, and Karl Malone should be expelled on the spot.
However, the dissatisfaction of the fans did not affect the referees at all, but the morale of the Jazz players began to rise.
After all, one of the main players of the Lakers is off due to injury, so their offense will be relatively easier.
The old Deng here began to struggle with who to replace.
Today's Lakers lineup includes Ye Qingchen, Byron Scott, Keith Owens and Divac, and of course Perkins.
But Divac and Perkins are not particularly good defensively. If these two play at the same time, the Lakers' offensive rhythm will be slowed down, and they may be targeted by the Jazz.
However, if Perkins is not mentioned as a substitute, the Lakers' defense inside will be even weaker.
In desperation, Lao Dengtou had to replace Perkins again.
Ye Qingchen just stood aside silently this time, and didn't express any opinion on Lao Dengtou's tactical arrangement.
After the timeout ends, the game continues.
There is still one minute and ten seconds before the second quarter.
Lakers offense!
Ye Qingchen still mainly plays off the ball. Under the cover of his teammates without the ball, Ye Qingchen catches the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left.
After receiving the ball, Mike Brown was the first to stand in front of Ye Qingchen.
At this time, Ye Qingchen didn't want to have too much entanglement with Mike Brown, because he saw that Karl Malone was guarding the inside.
At this time, of course it is necessary to rush in and buckle Karl Malone!
Therefore, Ye Qingchen directly forcibly broke through Mike Brown's defense with the ball, and pushed him away in an instant. After pushing away, Ye Qingchen had already reached the vicinity of the three-second zone.
Apart from anything else, he collected the ball and started, and took off with one foot directly against Karl Malone's defense!
After Karl Malone saw Ye Qingchen pushed Mike Brown away, he realized that Ye Qingchen would continue to attack him.
Since he has already committed three personal fouls, Karl Malone doesn't want to waste fouls on Ye Qingchen.
Therefore, Karl Malone actually got out of the way, allowing Ye Qingchen to easily complete the dunk this time!
Even Ye Qingchen was very depressed by Karl Malone's operation.
His original intention was to dunk Karl Malone again and break his mentality.
But now he actually stepped aside on his own initiative!
This made Ye Qingchen feel like he had punched the cotton, feeling like he couldn't use his strength!
The Lakers fans at the scene immediately cheered loudly. They were quite satisfied with Ye Qingchen's tough response this time.
And the commentator at the scene also said with emotion at the moment:
"Carl, the famous villain in the league, will not dare to defend himself one day!"
"Although he has already committed three fouls, it is a naked humiliation for Ye to complete the dunk in front of him like this!"
After hearing the commentator's words, the fans at the scene burst into laughter instantly.
They felt that what the commentator said was quite correct. At this time, Karl Malone could not be said to be a tough guy, but only a soft guy.
"You're really right!"
"He really had a strong response right away!"
Jennifer Connelly said to Nicole Kidman excitedly.
"Where did this go?"
"His response doesn't stop there!"
Nicole Kidman said confidently.
For Nicole Kidman's words, Jennifer Connelly is even more excited:
"really?"
"Then I really have to wait and see!"
Watching Ye Qingchen complete a dunk in front of him, Karl Malone was of course very upset.
However, this is his last choice.
The team needed him to continue to play a role on the offensive end, so they couldn't blame Ye Qingchen for the foul.
Ye Qingchen immediately told Divac and Perkins to be careful of Karl Malone's offensive moves after dunking.
Divac and Perkins nodded at the same time, of course they knew Karl Malone's brutality.
Jazz attack!
Another pick-and-roll between Karl Malone and Stockton.
It was Perkins who defended Karl Malone. He followed Karl Malone to the top of the arc, not wanting Karl Malone to have an easy pick-and-roll opportunity.
But Karl Malone's pick-and-roll screen did a good job, and Perkins had no way to get in front of him.
Therefore, a defense change was formed immediately.
The defender in front of Stockton became Perkins, and the defender in front of Karl Malone became Byron Scott.
In such a dislocation situation, the basketball will of course be passed to Karl Malone immediately.
After receiving the ball, Karl Malone dribbled the ball to the basket in the simplest and most aggressive way.
At this time, it was Divac who guarded the basket, and Ye Qingchen also came back immediately to help defend.
Ye Qingchen had a premonition that this time Karl Malone might launch a strong impact on Divac again.
Therefore, Ye Qingchen wanted to appear in front of Karl Malone immediately and block his way.
But I never thought that Ye Qingchen was pulled from behind by the players of the Jazz, preventing him from appearing behind Karl Malone in time.
The referee's attention has been focused on Karl Malone.
Divac has become the perfect candidate to defend Karl Malone head-on.
Divac is really afraid of Karl Malone. His idea is to directly foul Karl Malone and send him to the free throw line.
Don't let him have the chance to attack him!
Therefore, when Karl Malone appeared in front of him, he immediately reached out to pull Karl Malone.
Originally, this was a normal foul action, and under normal circumstances, it can prevent offensive players from continuing to attack.
However, when Karl Malone saw that Divac wanted to foul himself, his eyes instantly became fierce.
He doesn't want to waste this opportunity of attack, he wants to make two plus one.
Therefore, Karl Malone raised his left elbow again and put it in front of him.
Divac never thought that Karl Malone would support his elbow at the last moment.
As a result, Divac's chest was inevitably hit directly by Ye Qingchen's elbow.
Divac's expression instantly became ferocious, and the severe pain made him lose control of his expression, and then he exhaled in pain:
"what!"
Immediately, Divac fell to the ground.
But here, Karl Malone dunked the ball into the basket hard at the first time.
After a moment of hesitation, the referee chose not to blow the whistle.
Because the place where Karl Malone and Divac collided is already a reasonable collision zone.
Moreover, from the referee's point of view, Divac wanted to cause Karl Malone's offensive foul, so he fell to the ground so exaggeratedly.
Therefore, he will not whistle for Karl Malone's offensive foul this time!
When Ye Qingchen saw Divac fell to the ground screaming in pain, he already had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Because he knew that Divac would not flop under normal circumstances.
Unless it was really hit hard!
Looking at Divac's painful expression on the ground, Ye Qingchen's heart became even heavier.
Divac was probably injured by Karl Malone!
Are the Lakers' two major inside pillars injured?
This is not good news!
"Damn!"
"That was an offensive foul!"
"He's got an elbow!"
Jennifer Connelly shouted excitedly.
Ask for a monthly ticket and ask for a follow-up order.
