西部决赛的采取的是2-2-1-1-1的主客场作战方式。
Because the Blazers have the advantage of the record, the first two games of the Western Conference Finals will be played at the home of the Portland Trail Blazers.
For this series, the outside world is generally optimistic about the Portland Trail Blazers.
The main reason is that the Lakers' lineup is not neat, James Worthy and Divac have not been able to return from injury, and they will most likely continue to be absent for a while.
Of course, there is also Keith Owens, the most accurate outside shooter of the Lakers. His left ankle injury is more serious, and he basically has no chance to appear in the next playoffs.
Therefore, the Lakers, which broke into the Western Conference Finals, have a pretty hip lineup.
Apart from Ye Qingchen's strong point, there is only Perkins in the interior who can share some scoring ability.
As for other role players, their contribution in the Western Conference Finals can be said to be minimal.
On the contrary, if you look at the lineup of the Portland Trail Blazers, you will find that their lineup is quite reasonable.
The backcourt partnership composed of Tribert and Drexler makes them quite strong in the back line.
Drexler averaged 28.8 points, 6.6 assists and 6.8 rebounds in the playoffs before the Western Conference Finals.
And Tribert's scoring average in the playoffs also went to 18.8 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds.
The backcourt partnership of the two of them will cause great impact and trouble to the Lakers' backline.
Secondly, the Blazers' interior offense is also quite strong. The interior twin towers composed of Kevin Duckworthy and Buck Williams are even more troublesome for the Lakers who lack interior height.
Kevin Duckworthy is 13.5 meters tall. He averaged [-] points and rebounds per game, and his ability to grab offensive rebounds is quite good.
Although Buck Williams in the fourth position is only [-] meters tall, his athletic ability is quite good, and he can even participate in the team's fast break, with good mobility and outstanding defensive ability.
A reasonable lineup like the Blazers will bring huge troubles to the Lakers.
Although Ye Qingchen's personal ability is very strong, if the Blazers resolutely double-team Ye Qingchen, it will directly choke the Lakers' offensive strength, causing the Lakers' offense to enter paralysis. .
Therefore, in this series, few are optimistic about the promotion of the Lakers.
Even Lakers fans are full of worries about their home team, and it is the Jazz who have caused the current uneven lineup of the Lakers.
Therefore, even though the Jazz have been eliminated by the Lakers, Lakers fans still have a lot of resentment towards the Jazz.
The aftermath of the injury they caused to the Lakers is very great, and it may even cause the Lakers to stop in the Western Conference Finals.
Therefore, the gaming company once again opened a market for this Western Conference Finals series.
Although before this, the gaming company suffered a lot from Ye Qingchen.
But this time, they opened the market again after analyzing various objective factors.
All the analysis results show that it is absolutely impossible for the Lakers with only one Ye Qingchen to lead them to defeat the Trail Blazers.
Therefore, the odds for the Lakers to enter the Finals are an astonishing 1:100.
As for the Trail Blazers, the odds offered by the bookmaker are also frighteningly low, only 1:1.2.
In short, if you buy the Lakers to win, you can lose 100 yuan for a dollar, but if you buy the Blazers to win, you can only get 1.2 yuan for a dollar.
However, even so, there are still very few people who bet on the Lakers to qualify.
After all, everyone is not a fool, and they all know how bad the Lakers' lineup is.
However, for Ye Qingchen and Keith Owens, this is another chance to make a fortune.
Although Keith Owens announced that he would be reimbursed for the season with a fractured left foot, he still came to Portland with the team at this time.
And his left foot, already wearing a heavy protective gear, appeared on the Lakers bench seat.
From Keith Owens' face, there was no anxiety or depression, and there was even a faint smile.
Because when he learned the odds of the Lakers entering the Finals, he knew that the opportunity to make money came again.
Keith Owens formed contact with Ye Qingchen immediately, and asked Ye Qingchen if he had confidence in the Western Conference Finals series.
At the beginning, even Ye Qingchen didn't dare to guarantee that he would lead the Lakers out of the Western Conference and enter the Finals.
"If I were in the ring now, I would tell you that I have 100% confidence that I can beat my opponent!"
"However, the problem is not in the ring, it's on the pitch. Our team has a lot of injuries."
"So, even I can't guarantee that I will be able to lead the Lakers out of the West and into the Finals."
Ye Qingchen's answer caused Keith Owens' expression to change slightly, but he immediately said to Ye Qingchen:
"However, the gaming company has issued the latest odds, and the odds we can appear are 1:10, which is a pity"
"What? 1:10? Is this the latest odds we can get?"
"Yes, I still want to throw all my wealth into it!"
"Actually, you can think about it this way!"
Ye Qingchen's answer made Keith Owens unable to react, he asked in surprise:
"You mean? I can do this?"
"Yes, although I can't guarantee 100% to lead the Lakers to the finals, there is still a [-]% success rate!"
Ye Qingchen's answer made Keith Owens burst into ecstasy.
He knew that as long as Ye Qingchen could say such a probability, it meant that he must have his own certainty.
Then why hesitate?
The odds are 1:10, if you place a $1000 million bet on yourself, won't you be able to earn a hundred million by then?
Isn't this faster than playing basketball to make money?
At this time, Keith Owens really felt that the gaming company was giving him and Ye Qingchen warmth.
They dared to offer such high odds on Ye Qingchen's match, they really healed their scars and forgot about the pain!
And when Ye Qingchen learned of the latest odds of the Lakers, he became interested in the Western Conference Finals again.
In the Western Conference semifinals before, Ye Qingchen actually acted very calmly about being suspended.
The main reason is because Ye Qingchen feels that there is no particularly strong motivation to make him interested in this game.
It is enough to ensure that the Lakers enter the Western Conference Finals.
However, this feeling is completely different now.
As long as I can lead the Lakers to the finals, then I can really put money in sacks.
Therefore, without even thinking about it, Ye Qingchen decisively came up with a small goal to bet on the Lakers' ability to enter the finals.
And Keith Owens' betting is 1000 million, which is already half of his net worth.
Betting $1000 million is not mainly because Keith Owens is prudent, but because his liquidity is really only $1000 million.
As for the others, they have all been used by him as fixed assets.
Therefore, Keith Owens is actually quite a pity, 1000 million can only earn [-] million, which seems a bit too little.
Looking at Ye Qingchen again, he is really different, if you throw away [-] million, then you will get [-] billion.
What is the concept of one billion in this era?
It is really possible to buy an NBA team with one billion yuan.
Ye Qingchen hasn't fully figured out what to do after getting the bonus, he has already put all his thoughts on the competition.
Ye Qingchen likes this kind of competition with expectations, and he is fascinated by the sense of anticipation that if he wins the competition, he will have a huge harvest.
The city of Portland, also known as the city of tearing, their fans are more fanatical about the home team than the fans of most other teams.
Therefore, when the Lakers players came out, the deafening voice almost pierced the eardrums of the Lakers players.
The boos all over the sky made many Lakers players feel a little uncomfortable, and morale has begun to decline.
Sitting on the sidelines, Keith Owens always watched his teammates come out with a smile on his face.
For Keith Owens, it feels good to be able to make money without playing games and sitting down.
The camera was also aimed at Ye Qingchen at this time, and when Ye Qingchen appeared on the big screen at the scene, the boos at the scene became even louder.
A satisfied smile appeared on Ye Qingchen's face.
This is the atmosphere of the away game that he wants to feel. Playing in this atmosphere will inspire him to be more competitive.
After the Lakers finished playing, it was the Blazers' turn to play.
Of course, they were greeted by huge cheers and shouts, and when the star Drexler played, the cheers reached the highest decibels.
At this time, Ye Qingchen silently looked at Drexler, who was enjoying the cheers of the fans, with a bright smile on his face.
Time to show this guy what social evil is.
How much cheer he enjoys now, what painful torture he will endure later.
At this moment, Drexler also cast his eyes on Ye Qingchen.
The eyes of the two met each other!
From Drexler's eyes, Ye Qingchen saw strong confidence.
It seems that Drexler is determined to win this series!
At the same time, the starting lineups of both sides were also displayed on the big screen at the scene.
The starters for the Lakers are:
Byron Scott, Ye Qingchen, Saidal Straiter, Elden Campbell, Perkins.
The starters for the Trail Blazers are:
Clyde Drexler, Buck Williams, Tribert, Jeremy Kersey, Kevin Duckworth.
This game was broadcast live across the United States, and there were not a few people who followed it.
Although they all thought that the Lakers had no chance of qualifying, everyone wanted to see Ye Qingchen's performance.
Especially the two finalists in the East, they have always paid close attention to Ye Qingchen.
Especially Danzi, although he doesn't think the Lakers can qualify, it is absolutely impossible for the Lakers to be swept by the Trail Blazers.
"Although the Lakers are just a broken team at the moment, the strength of that guy should not be underestimated."
With the blow of the referee's whistle, the first game of the Western Conference finals of the playoffs officially started.
Jump ball session!
Duckworth easily flicked the ball into the hands of teammate Terry Burt, who quickly dribbled upfield.
The Lakers' opening defense was a two-three defense, with Streiter and Byron Scott leading the way.
Therefore, at this time, when Tribert was observing his teammates' movement at the top of the arc, it was Strietter who was defending him.
Under the cover of his teammates, Drexler appeared at a 45-degree angle to the left.
The disadvantage of zone defense is obvious, that is, there will be a lot of loopholes in the defense of the outside line.
Therefore, Drexler, who had finished catching the ball, directly made a three-pointer!
The basketball draws a perfect line and goes straight to the center of the net!
3: 0!
Drexler felt pretty good on the outside today, winning the first blood for the Trail Blazers.
The Blazers fans at the scene shouted "MVP" loudly. In their eyes, Drexler is the most valuable player.
Ye Qingchen's face was not annoyed because Drexler hit the three-pointer, his expression was very calm.
Ye Qingchen is currently playing the third position, so Byron Scott decisively passed the ball to Ye Qingchen after dribbling the ball across the half court.
The moment Ye Qingchen received the ball, the Blazers' double-team had already arrived.
Drexler and Tribert's double team was about to block Ye Qingchen's passing space.
However, the calm Ye Qingchen was still able to pass the ball through the gap between them.
The one who caught the ball was Street who was emptied!
At this time, he was already in an absolute space, and decisively shot a three-pointer!
It's a pity that it failed to hit!
The rebound was taken by Duckworthy, who made a strong long pass and threw the ball directly to the frontcourt.
Drexler actually took the lead in the fast play!
After receiving the ball, Drexler was already facing an empty basket, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
Sure enough, double-teaming Ye Qingchen can get twice the result with half the effort.
At this moment, he is already in an absolute space, and he can show off his dunking skills!
Then it's time for your show!
Drexler's physical fitness is quite strong, how could he, known as the "glider", let go of such an excellent opportunity to perform?
After Drexler quickly dribbled the ball to the color zone, he received the ball and pushed his feet to the ground, leaping high, ready to complete a strong windmill reverse dunk!
As everyone knows, behind him, Ye Qingchen has arrived in time!
In fact, Ye Qingchen noticed that Drexler was going down early when Strait was forging.
But Ye Qingchen didn't catch up right away, on the contrary, he intentionally lagged behind Drexler by two positions.
Because of this, Drexler was able to easily complete the catch and face the empty basket.
Now, Drexler was already jumping and preparing to dunk, Ye Qingchen didn't have to act any more.
Behind Drexler, a black shadow jumped high, and it turned out to slap the basketball that was about to be dunked into the basket by Drexler and flew out of the sideline!
The fans who had already stood up to cheer for Drexler were dumbfounded!
Seeing that he was about to complete the dunk, he was sent flying out?
How can this be?
Even Drexler himself was taken aback by Ye Qingchen's pursuit.
In fact, he did not expect that Ye Qingchen would follow behind him at this time, he really underestimated the enemy.
After the cover was completed, Ye Qingchen waved his finger directly towards the auditorium.
Ye Qingchen's taunting action directly filled up the hatred of the fans.
Many fans at the scene raised their middle fingers towards Ye Qingchen.
After all, in their view, Ye Qingchen made a gesture of shaking his fingers towards them, which was an open challenge to them.
Seeing this situation, the commentator at the scene shouted excitedly:
"My God, the game was full of gunpowder from the beginning!"
"Besides, this smell of gunpowder was created between Ye and the fans!"
"This game will look different than we imagined!"
The Lakers' bench was also a sensation, especially Keith Owens, who even stood up excitedly and cheered for Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen's chase and block this time greatly boosted the morale of the Lakers.
Drexler looked very depressed.
Originally, he wanted to show off his slam dunk, but in the end, Ye Qingchen ruthlessly blocked it.
Therefore, he must respond immediately.
The Trail Blazers kicked out the sideline and Drexler caught the ball again.
At this time, Ye Qingchen had returned to his defensive position.
Standing in front of Drexler was Streiter.
Pick and roll from Duckworthy!
Drexler dribbles to the paint on the pick-and-roll!
The Lakers' inside defense will shrink immediately!
However, Drexler's drive this time was designed to attract the Lakers' defense.
His goal is to pass the ball to his teammate Tribert in the corner.
Tribert was already in an undefended situation after receiving the ball, and opened his hand for a three-pointer!
!!!
hit!
6: 0!
The Trail Blazers started the game very well on the perimeter, hitting two open three-pointers in a row!
The fans at the scene once again set off stormy cheers.
The two offenses of the Blazers completely exposed the weakness of the Lakers' defense.
Especially the Lakers' defense on the perimeter is simply incapable of blocking the Blazers' offense.
For this result, even Ye Qingchen felt quite helpless.
The zone defense tactics adopted by the Lakers are actually mainly to prevent Drexler from launching an impact on the Lakers' inside line.
But now it seems that the Trail Blazers have never thought about attacking the Lakers inside.
Their idea now is to start from the outside and use three-pointers to collapse the Lakers' defense.
The head coach of the Lakers on the sidelines, Lao Dengtou, was in a very anxious mood. The Blazers' continuous outside shots made the Lakers fall into a great passive state.
Therefore, now the Lakers must respond on the offensive end in order to stabilize the morale of the army.
The camera was once again aimed at Ye Qingchen.
At this time, all hopes were pinned on Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen's expression didn't change much, he walked slowly through the half court.
Byron Scott dribbled the ball at the top of the arc and waited for Ye Qingchen's arrival.
When Ye Qingchen walked beyond the three-point line, Drexler appeared in front of him.
The Blazers' defensive strategy for Ye Qingchen was to prevent him from receiving the ball easily.
If Ye Qingchen catches the ball, he will be double-teamed immediately to prevent him from handling the ball easily.
Ye Qingchen's passing ability is very strong, which is well known.
The purpose of the double-teaming of Ye Qingchen was to prevent him from scoring easily and at the same time restrict him from connecting with his teammates.
Although the lineup of the Lakers is not very strong, Drexler knows how strong Ye Qingchen is.
From the moment Ye Qingchen chased him into the hat just now, he had restrained his mind and concentrated all his energy on Ye Qingchen.
Under Drexler's marking, Ye Qingchen was still walking a second ago.
But in the next second, Ye Qingchen activated it instantly, turned around and swayed, and then directly activated and rushed into the inner line.
In fact, Byron Scott's peripheral vision has always been on Ye Qingchen.
When he saw Ye Qingchen start to rush to the inside, he immediately threw the ball into the air!
Although Drexler had already concentrated all his energy on Ye Qingchen.
But Ye Qingchen's startup speed this time was really too fast.
And it was unexpected.
Therefore, Drexler's reaction was half a beat slow after all!
When he reacted and followed Ye Qingchen into the inside line, he was already one body behind Ye Qingchen.
However, the players inside the Blazers have already noticed Ye Qingchen's actions.
Therefore, they immediately blocked Ye Qingchen, preventing him from easily rushing into the inside line.
Especially Dakovos, he has already appeared on Ye Qingchen's route.
However, in Ye Qingchen's eyes at this moment, there is only the basketball in the air and the basket on Dakovos' head!
Ye Qingchen jumped with both feet in front of Dakovos!
Under Duckworth's horrified eyes, Ye Qingchen directly straddled him to catch the basketball in the air.
The next moment, Duckworth could already hear the dull sound of a basketball being dunked into the hoop!
As for himself, he was directly knocked down to the ground by Ye Qingchen's powerful impact.
Fortunately, Ye Qingchen jumped from such a high height this time that his knees hit his shoulders directly.
Therefore, Dakworth was hit and fell to the ground this time, and there were no serious injuries.
However, the fact that he was ridden by Ye Qingchen to complete the alley-oop cannot be changed!
Drexler, who was following Ye Qingchen, was quite shocked after seeing Ye Qingchen complete this shocking buckle.
His shock was that Ye Qingchen's speed was really too fast.
The pioneer's protection against Ye Qingchen was already tight enough, but in the end he managed to get rid of it.
He even dunked on Duckworth's head!
This dunk did a lot of damage to the morale of the Blazers.
The scene, which was originally very noisy, became a lot quieter in an instant.
After Ye Qingchen finished riding the dunk, he dangled on the basket for a while before letting go of his hands and landing lightly.
After doing all this, Ye Qingchen looked at the fans on the scene again, spread his hands, and made a very helpless look.
Ye Qingchen once again challenged the Blazers fans.
Ye Qingchen's provocative actions made the fans at the scene quite unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.
After all, Ye Qingchen really completed the buckle on Duckworth's head!
After putting on a show, Ye Qingchen turned around and glanced at Dakovos who had been pulled up from the ground by his teammates, smiled lightly, shook his head and ran to the frontcourt.
Although Ye Qingchen didn't say anything, his actions have already expressed everything.
This is a blatant contempt for Darkworth!
This is an action that is not very harmful, but extremely insulting!
Darkworth's eyes are about to burst into flames!
Originally being buckled by Ye Qingchen, he was very upset.
Now Ye Qingchen still wants to be ridiculed by such an action, of course he can't swallow it.
Just when he was about to talk trash to Ye Qingchen, Drexler took the initiative to stop him:
"Hey man, take it easy!"
"This time it was my negligence that allowed him to easily rush into the inside lane!"
"So, it's my problem, and it won't happen again next time!"
Drexler's initiative to take on the mistake made Duckworth feel better.
"Don't worry, I won't let him complete the shot next time!"
Duckworth said bitterly.
Drexler nodded. The reason why he prevented his teammates from launching trash talk attacks on Ye Qingchen was because he knew that people like Ye Qingchen could not be provoked.
Now, the Blazers have an absolute advantage in the lineup.
Therefore, as long as they can play steadily and implement the tactics assigned by the head coach, then the victory in this game will definitely belong to the Trail Blazers.
However, if you provoke Ye Qingchen and anger him at the beginning, there may be a big change.
Just refer to the fate of the Jazz players.
It was not the first time Drexler had fought against Ye Qingchen, he knew how terrifying Ye Qingchen's strength was.
Now, the Lakers need Ye Qingchen to stand up and score, so Ye Qingchen can actually get some points properly.
As long as it is ensured that the other players of the Lakers cannot score easily, the final result of the Lakers is still unavoidable.
This truth, Drexler is quite clear.
Another attack by the Blazers!
The Blazers' offense was still initiated by Drexler, and after attracting the Lakers' defense, they distributed the ball to open teammates and assisted them to score.
This time, it was Buck Williams' pie-eating success!
8: 2!
The Blazers' offense is very organized, and scoring is much easier than that of the Lakers.
Even Ye Qingchen felt a little helpless about this result.
After all, although one's own defensive ability is very strong, it also requires the cooperation of teammates.
Now the Lakers' zone defense can't limit the Blazers' offense at all, so changes must be made.
The Lakers requested a timeout!
Ye Qingchen suggested that Dengtou change his defensive strategy to man-to-man defense, and switch defenses infinitely.
It means that as soon as you encounter a pick-and-roll, you will change immediately.
Regarding Ye Qingchen's defensive suggestion, Old Deng chose to accept it.
On the offensive end, Ye Qingchen continued to choose to play off the ball.
The Blazers' defense against Ye Qingchen is quite strict.
As long as Ye Qingchen gets the ball, a double team will come immediately.
Therefore, if Ye Qingchen wants to focus on the No. [-] position, the effect may not be very satisfactory.
Because what the Lakers lack now is a finisher.
If Keith Owens is not injured, then Ye Qingchen can pass the ball to Keith Owens in the No. [-] position and let him complete the finish.
But now Keith Owens has been reimbursed for the season due to injury, and Byron Scott and Streiter's perimeter is not stable.
Even if they have an open chance, the hit rate is not very ideal.
Therefore, it is a helpless move for Ye Qingchen to switch to playing without the ball!
However, Ye Qingchen's advantage in switching to off-ball is his physical fitness.
As long as Ye Qingchen uses his unlimited physical energy to continuously move around, it will consume a lot of physical energy of the Blazers' defensive players.
In this way, the rapid consumption of the Blazers' physical fitness will cause them problems on the offensive end.
This is also one of Ye Qingchen's trump cards at this stage.
Pause back, the Lakers attack!
Ye Qingchen began to use the cover of his teammates to run without the ball.
Obviously, the Trail Blazers had already expected Ye Qingchen's offensive choice.
Therefore, their defense against Ye Qingchen could still be inseparable.
The Blazers' players also switched defenses indefinitely. When Ye Qingchen appeared in front of them, he just followed up.
If you can't keep up, take the initiative to defend to the original player's position.
This defensive strategy is the most effective strategy the Blazers can think of at this stage.
A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Ye Qingchen's mouth.
Although it was difficult for him to get rid of the entanglement of these Blazers players in a short time, Ye Qingchen was in no hurry.
He even dealt with these players patiently.
When the attack time was running out, Ye Qingchen was speeding up again, quickly getting rid of the defender, catching the ball and shooting!
At this time, Ye Qingchen was no longer limited to shooting inside the two-point line.
Ye Qingchen's shot this time was a shot from beyond the three-point line!
This is also Ye Qingchen's second three-point shot in an official game!
Keith Owens on the sidelines saw Ye Qingchen's three-pointer, his expression was quite excited:
"He's finally going to shoot from beyond the three-point line!"
"Being able to force him to take a three-pointer makes the Blazers proud enough!"
Is Ye Qingchen's three-pointer accurate?
Check out the video of Ye Qingchen winning the All-Star Contest!
He obviously had a chance to get a full score, but at the last moment he chose to give up and continue shooting.
This is enough to prove how strong Ye Qingchen's three-point shooting ability is.
However, Ye Qingchen obviously has a super three-point shooting ability, but in the game, Ye Qingchen has never shown his three-point shooting ability.
This is also what confuses a lot of people.
Even some celebrities even joked directly:
"Maybe, he is just a training player?"
"In some insignificant games, his three-point shooting rate is really high!"
"But when it comes to important games, his three-point shooting percentage will be extremely low!"
"So, during the game, he didn't even dare to shoot a three-pointer!"
Many people agree with this point of view.
Therefore, the concept that Ye Qingchen will not shoot outside the three-point line has formed in the minds of many players.
But never expected that Ye Qingchen would shoot a three-pointer in the first game of the Western Conference Finals!
As soon as Ye Qingchen took the ball and shot a three-pointer, Buck Williams had already swooped in.
Buck Williams' defense is actually too late!
And he hadn't been able to control his body in time, the huge inertia made him throw Ye Qingchen to the ground directly after the shot!
The referee's whistle sounded!
Foul by Buck Williams!
The eyes of the fans at the scene were fixed on the basketball in flight.
All the fans don't want Ye Qingchen's shot to hit!
However, Ye Qingchen let them down again this time!
"Shh!"
Basketball hollow into the net!
The referee immediately made a valid gesture for the goal!
"3+1!"
"My goodness!"
"Ye not only made a three-pointer, but also scored 3+1!"
The commentator at the scene also exclaimed loudly at this moment.
Obviously, Ye Qingchen started shooting from outside the three-point line, which has already shocked many people.
Even Adelman, the head coach of the Blazers on the sidelines, had a rather gloomy expression:
"shit!"
"He actually started shooting outside the three-point line!"
For Adelman, he really didn't want to see Ye Qingchen shoot outside the three-point line.
Because once Ye Qingchen opened up outside the three-point line, the Blazers' defense would face a new problem.
The question is whether to expand the range of defense against Ye Qingchen.
If the range of defense against Ye Qingchen is expanded, the Blazers' defense inside will inevitably be weakened.
Even if the offensive ability of the Lakers' inside players has dropped significantly, they can still do it easily if they eat cakes easily.
Therefore, Adelman felt quite difficult for Ye Qingchen to hit this three-pointer.
He was thinking whether to continue to wait and see, to see if Ye Qingchen would continue to shoot outside the three-point line.
At this time, Ye Qingchen had already walked to the free throw line, hit the extra penalty easily, and scored four points successfully!
8: 6!
The Blazers fans at the scene were very upset by Ye Qingchen's tough four-pointer this time.
Drexler's expression became more and more serious.
Ye Qingchen's variety of offensive methods made their defense quite passive.
However, he quickly adjusted his emotions and signaled his teammates to continue to focus on offense.
The Lakers' defense has switched to man-to-man defense.
And it was Byron Scott who appeared in front of Drexler, and Ye Qingchen's main defense turned out to be Darkworth.
Duckworth was very excited about this matchup.
Although Ye Qingchen is very powerful, Dakovos has the advantage of height.
Therefore, Dakovos immediately stuck Ye Qingchen behind him and reached out for the ball!
After the basketball was passed to Dakovos, he dribbled the ball with his back and then changed hands to complete the dunk with one hand!
After all, it's already pretty close to the basket where Duckworth catches the ball.
Coupled with his height advantage, of course he wanted to complete the dunk on Ye Qingchen!
In the expectant eyes of the fans at the scene, Dakovos's one-handed dunk was directly confiscated by Ye Qingchen with one hand!
The place was silent!
No one could have expected that Dakovos's one-handed dunk would be blocked by Ye Qingchen in such a way!
After completing the block, Ye Qingchen held the ball in both hands and directly threw the ball vigorously to the forward court.
Streiter has already made a quick layup ahead of time, and after catching the ball, he easily completed a quick layup!
8: 8!
Under Ye Qingchen's excellent defense on both ends of the offense and defense, the Lakers evened the score!
This result makes the Trail Blazers coach Rick Adelman quite dissatisfied!
He asked for a timeout angrily, and yelled at the players who were leaving the field.
Regarding the head coach's anger, none of the starting five players dared to refute.
Indeed, they themselves were quite dissatisfied with their performance just now.
With a lineup like the Lakers, it's a joke that they can't even close the gap.
After Adelman rearranged his emotions, he began to re-analyze the Lakers' style of play.
Moreover, he also specifically emphasized that if you can't restrict Ye Qingchen well on the defensive end, you don't have to blame yourself too much.
However, on the offensive end, it is necessary to maintain a high success rate, to continuously pass the ball, and tear the Lakers' defense apart!
This timeout is crucial for the Trail Blazers.
At the beginning, they did despise the Lakers, and they all thought they could easily beat the Lakers.
Now, they have realized their arrogance and underestimation of the enemy, and they have re-emphasized this game.
Therefore, after this timeout, the Blazers' offense began to become reasonable and sharp again!
Although the Lakers chose a defensive strategy of unlimited defense changes, the Blazers' ability to conduct the ball is too strong.
In addition, except for Ye Qingchen, the Lakers' defensive attention is actually not very focused.
The Blazers' constant passing of the ball will distract them, and they can always easily get open scoring opportunities.
Therefore, in the rest of the first quarter, the Blazers' offense was already in full swing.
The Lakers' defense can't help the Trail Blazers at all.
However, although the performance of the Lakers on the defensive end was not satisfactory, but fortunately Ye Qingchen's performance on the offensive end was quite eye-catching.
The Blazers' defense against Ye Qingchen can be said to be tight enough, but in the end they still couldn't limit Ye Qingchen's scoring.
Therefore, the result was that the Lakers couldn't defend against the Blazers' offense, and the Blazers couldn't do anything to Ye Qingchen's offense.
The only difference is that the Trail Blazers are blooming more points, while the Lakers only have one Ye Qingchen who is struggling to score.
Therefore, when the first half of the game ended, the score of the two sides had become 56:46!
After halftime, the Lakers fell behind by ten points.
However, many fans were very surprised by this result.
Because in their expectation, the Lakers would lose at least [-] points at halftime.
But now they only lost ten points, which shows that they underestimated the strength of the Lakers' remnants.
To be precise, he underestimated Ye Qingchen's strength.
Because Ye Qingchen had already scored 35 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds and 4 steals at halftime.
The others added up and only scored 11 points.
It can be said that the Lakers are only ten points behind because of Ye Qingchen's hard support.
But even though Ye Qingchen's performance was explosive enough, no one thought the Lakers had a chance to win this game.
In Danzi’s words when watching the game:
"Ye played very well, but they didn't have any chance of winning, not even a single point, because the rest of the Lakers players had already started to lose their strength."

西部决赛的采取的是2-2-1-1-1的主客场作战方式。
Because the Blazers have the advantage of the record, the first two games of the Western Conference Finals will be played at the home of the Portland Trail Blazers.
For this series, the outside world is generally optimistic about the Portland Trail Blazers.
The main reason is that the Lakers' lineup is not neat, James Worthy and Divac have not been able to return from injury, and they will most likely continue to be absent for a while.
Of course, there is also Keith Owens, the most accurate outside shooter of the Lakers. His left ankle injury is more serious, and he basically has no chance to appear in the next playoffs.
Therefore, the Lakers, which broke into the Western Conference Finals, have a pretty hip lineup.
Apart from Ye Qingchen's strong point, there is only Perkins in the interior who can share some scoring ability.
As for other role players, their contribution in the Western Conference Finals can be said to be minimal.
On the contrary, if you look at the lineup of the Portland Trail Blazers, you will find that their lineup is quite reasonable.
The backcourt partnership composed of Tribert and Drexler makes them quite strong in the back line.
Drexler averaged 28.8 points, 6.6 assists and 6.8 rebounds in the playoffs before the Western Conference Finals.
And Tribert's scoring average in the playoffs also went to 18.8 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds.
The backcourt partnership of the two of them will cause great impact and trouble to the Lakers' backline.
Secondly, the Blazers' interior offense is also quite strong. The interior twin towers composed of Kevin Duckworthy and Buck Williams are even more troublesome for the Lakers who lack interior height.
Kevin Duckworthy is 13.5 meters tall. He averaged [-] points and rebounds per game, and his ability to grab offensive rebounds is quite good.
Although Buck Williams in the fourth position is only [-] meters tall, his athletic ability is quite good, and he can even participate in the team's fast break, with good mobility and outstanding defensive ability.
A reasonable lineup like the Blazers will bring huge troubles to the Lakers.
Although Ye Qingchen's personal ability is very strong, if the Blazers resolutely double-team Ye Qingchen, it will directly choke the Lakers' offensive strength, causing the Lakers' offense to enter paralysis. .
Therefore, in this series, few are optimistic about the promotion of the Lakers.
Even Lakers fans are full of worries about their home team, and it is the Jazz who have caused the current uneven lineup of the Lakers.
Therefore, even though the Jazz have been eliminated by the Lakers, Lakers fans still have a lot of resentment towards the Jazz.
The aftermath of the injury they caused to the Lakers is very great, and it may even cause the Lakers to stop in the Western Conference Finals.
Therefore, the gaming company once again opened a market for this Western Conference Finals series.
Although before this, the gaming company suffered a lot from Ye Qingchen.
But this time, they opened the market again after analyzing various objective factors.
All the analysis results show that it is absolutely impossible for the Lakers with only one Ye Qingchen to lead them to defeat the Trail Blazers.
Therefore, the odds for the Lakers to enter the Finals are an astonishing 1:100.
As for the Trail Blazers, the odds offered by the bookmaker are also frighteningly low, only 1:1.2.
In short, if you buy the Lakers to win, you can lose 100 yuan for a dollar, but if you buy the Blazers to win, you can only get 1.2 yuan for a dollar.
However, even so, there are still very few people who bet on the Lakers to qualify.
After all, everyone is not a fool, and they all know how bad the Lakers' lineup is.
However, for Ye Qingchen and Keith Owens, this is another chance to make a fortune.
Although Keith Owens announced that he would be reimbursed for the season with a fractured left foot, he still came to Portland with the team at this time.
And his left foot, already wearing a heavy protective gear, appeared on the Lakers bench seat.
From Keith Owens' face, there was no anxiety or depression, and there was even a faint smile.
Because when he learned the odds of the Lakers entering the Finals, he knew that the opportunity to make money came again.
Keith Owens formed contact with Ye Qingchen immediately, and asked Ye Qingchen if he had confidence in the Western Conference Finals series.
At the beginning, even Ye Qingchen didn't dare to guarantee that he would lead the Lakers out of the Western Conference and enter the Finals.
"If I were in the ring now, I would tell you that I have 100% confidence that I can beat my opponent!"
"However, the problem is not in the ring, it's on the pitch. Our team has a lot of injuries."
"So, even I can't guarantee that I will be able to lead the Lakers out of the West and into the Finals."
Ye Qingchen's answer caused Keith Owens' expression to change slightly, but he immediately said to Ye Qingchen:
"However, the gaming company has issued the latest odds, and the odds we can appear are 1:10, which is a pity"
"What? 1:10? Is this the latest odds we can get?"
"Yes, I still want to throw all my wealth into it!"
"Actually, you can think about it this way!"
Ye Qingchen's answer made Keith Owens unable to react, he asked in surprise:
"You mean? I can do this?"
"Yes, although I can't guarantee 100% to lead the Lakers to the finals, there is still a [-]% success rate!"
Ye Qingchen's answer made Keith Owens burst into ecstasy.
He knew that as long as Ye Qingchen could say such a probability, it meant that he must have his own certainty.
Then why hesitate?
The odds are 1:10, if you place a $1000 million bet on yourself, won't you be able to earn a hundred million by then?
Isn't this faster than playing basketball to make money?
At this time, Keith Owens really felt that the gaming company was giving him and Ye Qingchen warmth.
They dared to offer such high odds on Ye Qingchen's match, they really healed their scars and forgot about the pain!
And when Ye Qingchen learned of the latest odds of the Lakers, he became interested in the Western Conference Finals again.
In the Western Conference semifinals before, Ye Qingchen actually acted very calmly about being suspended.
The main reason is because Ye Qingchen feels that there is no particularly strong motivation to make him interested in this game.
It is enough to ensure that the Lakers enter the Western Conference Finals.
However, this feeling is completely different now.
As long as I can lead the Lakers to the finals, then I can really put money in sacks.
Therefore, without even thinking about it, Ye Qingchen decisively came up with a small goal to bet on the Lakers' ability to enter the finals.
And Keith Owens' betting is 1000 million, which is already half of his net worth.
Betting $1000 million is not mainly because Keith Owens is prudent, but because his liquidity is really only $1000 million.
As for the others, they have all been used by him as fixed assets.
Therefore, Keith Owens is actually quite a pity, 1000 million can only earn [-] million, which seems a bit too little.
Looking at Ye Qingchen again, he is really different, if you throw away [-] million, then you will get [-] billion.
What is the concept of one billion in this era?
It is really possible to buy an NBA team with one billion yuan.
Ye Qingchen hasn't fully figured out what to do after getting the bonus, he has already put all his thoughts on the competition.
Ye Qingchen likes this kind of competition with expectations, and he is fascinated by the sense of anticipation that if he wins the competition, he will have a huge harvest.
The city of Portland, also known as the city of tearing, their fans are more fanatical about the home team than the fans of most other teams.
Therefore, when the Lakers players came out, the deafening voice almost pierced the eardrums of the Lakers players.
The boos all over the sky made many Lakers players feel a little uncomfortable, and morale has begun to decline.
Sitting on the sidelines, Keith Owens always watched his teammates come out with a smile on his face.
For Keith Owens, it feels good to be able to make money without playing games and sitting down.
The camera was also aimed at Ye Qingchen at this time, and when Ye Qingchen appeared on the big screen at the scene, the boos at the scene became even louder.
A satisfied smile appeared on Ye Qingchen's face.
This is the atmosphere of the away game that he wants to feel. Playing in this atmosphere will inspire him to be more competitive.
After the Lakers finished playing, it was the Blazers' turn to play.
Of course, they were greeted by huge cheers and shouts, and when the star Drexler played, the cheers reached the highest decibels.
At this time, Ye Qingchen silently looked at Drexler, who was enjoying the cheers of the fans, with a bright smile on his face.
Time to show this guy what social evil is.
How much cheer he enjoys now, what painful torture he will endure later.
At this moment, Drexler also cast his eyes on Ye Qingchen.
The eyes of the two met each other!
From Drexler's eyes, Ye Qingchen saw strong confidence.
It seems that Drexler is determined to win this series!
At the same time, the starting lineups of both sides were also displayed on the big screen at the scene.
The starters for the Lakers are:
Byron Scott, Ye Qingchen, Saidal Straiter, Elden Campbell, Perkins.
The starters for the Trail Blazers are:
Clyde Drexler, Buck Williams, Tribert, Jeremy Kersey, Kevin Duckworth.
This game was broadcast live across the United States, and there were not a few people who followed it.
Although they all thought that the Lakers had no chance of qualifying, everyone wanted to see Ye Qingchen's performance.
Especially the two finalists in the East, they have always paid close attention to Ye Qingchen.
Especially Danzi, although he doesn't think the Lakers can qualify, it is absolutely impossible for the Lakers to be swept by the Trail Blazers.
"Although the Lakers are just a broken team at the moment, the strength of that guy should not be underestimated."
With the blow of the referee's whistle, the first game of the Western Conference finals of the playoffs officially started.
Jump ball session!
Duckworth easily flicked the ball into the hands of teammate Terry Burt, who quickly dribbled upfield.
The Lakers' opening defense was a two-three defense, with Streiter and Byron Scott leading the way.
Therefore, at this time, when Tribert was observing his teammates' movement at the top of the arc, it was Strietter who was defending him.
Under the cover of his teammates, Drexler appeared at a 45-degree angle to the left.
The disadvantage of zone defense is obvious, that is, there will be a lot of loopholes in the defense of the outside line.
Therefore, Drexler, who had finished catching the ball, directly made a three-pointer!
The basketball draws a perfect line and goes straight to the center of the net!
3: 0!
Drexler felt pretty good on the outside today, winning the first blood for the Trail Blazers.
The Blazers fans at the scene shouted "MVP" loudly. In their eyes, Drexler is the most valuable player.
Ye Qingchen's face was not annoyed because Drexler hit the three-pointer, his expression was very calm.
Ye Qingchen is currently playing the third position, so Byron Scott decisively passed the ball to Ye Qingchen after dribbling the ball across the half court.
The moment Ye Qingchen received the ball, the Blazers' double-team had already arrived.
Drexler and Tribert's double team was about to block Ye Qingchen's passing space.
However, the calm Ye Qingchen was still able to pass the ball through the gap between them.
The one who caught the ball was Street who was emptied!
At this time, he was already in an absolute space, and decisively shot a three-pointer!
It's a pity that it failed to hit!
The rebound was taken by Duckworthy, who made a strong long pass and threw the ball directly to the frontcourt.
Drexler actually took the lead in the fast play!
After receiving the ball, Drexler was already facing an empty basket, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
Sure enough, double-teaming Ye Qingchen can get twice the result with half the effort.
At this moment, he is already in an absolute space, and he can show off his dunking skills!
Then it's time for your show!
Drexler's physical fitness is quite strong, how could he, known as the "glider", let go of such an excellent opportunity to perform?
After Drexler quickly dribbled the ball to the color zone, he received the ball and pushed his feet to the ground, leaping high, ready to complete a strong windmill reverse dunk!
As everyone knows, behind him, Ye Qingchen has arrived in time!
In fact, Ye Qingchen noticed that Drexler was going down early when Strait was forging.
But Ye Qingchen didn't catch up right away, on the contrary, he intentionally lagged behind Drexler by two positions.
Because of this, Drexler was able to easily complete the catch and face the empty basket.
Now, Drexler was already jumping and preparing to dunk, Ye Qingchen didn't have to act any more.
Behind Drexler, a black shadow jumped high, and it turned out to slap the basketball that was about to be dunked into the basket by Drexler and flew out of the sideline!
The fans who had already stood up to cheer for Drexler were dumbfounded!
Seeing that he was about to complete the dunk, he was sent flying out?
How can this be?
Even Drexler himself was taken aback by Ye Qingchen's pursuit.
In fact, he did not expect that Ye Qingchen would follow behind him at this time, he really underestimated the enemy.
After the cover was completed, Ye Qingchen waved his finger directly towards the auditorium.
Ye Qingchen's taunting action directly filled up the hatred of the fans.
Many fans at the scene raised their middle fingers towards Ye Qingchen.
After all, in their view, Ye Qingchen made a gesture of shaking his fingers towards them, which was an open challenge to them.
Seeing this situation, the commentator at the scene shouted excitedly:
"My God, the game was full of gunpowder from the beginning!"
"Besides, this smell of gunpowder was created between Ye and the fans!"
"This game will look different than we imagined!"
The Lakers' bench was also a sensation, especially Keith Owens, who even stood up excitedly and cheered for Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen's chase and block this time greatly boosted the morale of the Lakers.
Drexler looked very depressed.
Originally, he wanted to show off his slam dunk, but in the end, Ye Qingchen ruthlessly blocked it.
Therefore, he must respond immediately.
The Trail Blazers kicked out the sideline and Drexler caught the ball again.
At this time, Ye Qingchen had returned to his defensive position.
Standing in front of Drexler was Streiter.
Pick and roll from Duckworthy!
Drexler dribbles to the paint on the pick-and-roll!
The Lakers' inside defense will shrink immediately!
However, Drexler's drive this time was designed to attract the Lakers' defense.
His goal is to pass the ball to his teammate Tribert in the corner.
Tribert was already in an undefended situation after receiving the ball, and opened his hand for a three-pointer!
!!!
hit!
6: 0!
The Trail Blazers started the game very well on the perimeter, hitting two open three-pointers in a row!
The fans at the scene once again set off stormy cheers.
The two offenses of the Blazers completely exposed the weakness of the Lakers' defense.
Especially the Lakers' defense on the perimeter is simply incapable of blocking the Blazers' offense.
For this result, even Ye Qingchen felt quite helpless.
The zone defense tactics adopted by the Lakers are actually mainly to prevent Drexler from launching an impact on the Lakers' inside line.
But now it seems that the Trail Blazers have never thought about attacking the Lakers inside.
Their idea now is to start from the outside and use three-pointers to collapse the Lakers' defense.
The head coach of the Lakers on the sidelines, Lao Dengtou, was in a very anxious mood. The Blazers' continuous outside shots made the Lakers fall into a great passive state.
Therefore, now the Lakers must respond on the offensive end in order to stabilize the morale of the army.
The camera was once again aimed at Ye Qingchen.
At this time, all hopes were pinned on Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen's expression didn't change much, he walked slowly through the half court.
Byron Scott dribbled the ball at the top of the arc and waited for Ye Qingchen's arrival.
When Ye Qingchen walked beyond the three-point line, Drexler appeared in front of him.
The Blazers' defensive strategy for Ye Qingchen was to prevent him from receiving the ball easily.
If Ye Qingchen catches the ball, he will be double-teamed immediately to prevent him from handling the ball easily.
Ye Qingchen's passing ability is very strong, which is well known.
The purpose of the double-teaming of Ye Qingchen was to prevent him from scoring easily and at the same time restrict him from connecting with his teammates.
Although the lineup of the Lakers is not very strong, Drexler knows how strong Ye Qingchen is.
From the moment Ye Qingchen chased him into the hat just now, he had restrained his mind and concentrated all his energy on Ye Qingchen.
Under Drexler's marking, Ye Qingchen was still walking a second ago.
But in the next second, Ye Qingchen activated it instantly, turned around and swayed, and then directly activated and rushed into the inner line.
In fact, Byron Scott's peripheral vision has always been on Ye Qingchen.
When he saw Ye Qingchen start to rush to the inside, he immediately threw the ball into the air!
Although Drexler had already concentrated all his energy on Ye Qingchen.
But Ye Qingchen's startup speed this time was really too fast.
And it was unexpected.
Therefore, Drexler's reaction was half a beat slow after all!
When he reacted and followed Ye Qingchen into the inside line, he was already one body behind Ye Qingchen.
However, the players inside the Blazers have already noticed Ye Qingchen's actions.
Therefore, they immediately blocked Ye Qingchen, preventing him from easily rushing into the inside line.
Especially Dakovos, he has already appeared on Ye Qingchen's route.
However, in Ye Qingchen's eyes at this moment, there is only the basketball in the air and the basket on Dakovos' head!
Ye Qingchen jumped with both feet in front of Dakovos!
Under Duckworth's horrified eyes, Ye Qingchen directly straddled him to catch the basketball in the air.
The next moment, Duckworth could already hear the dull sound of a basketball being dunked into the hoop!
As for himself, he was directly knocked down to the ground by Ye Qingchen's powerful impact.
Fortunately, Ye Qingchen jumped from such a high height this time that his knees hit his shoulders directly.
Therefore, Dakworth was hit and fell to the ground this time, and there were no serious injuries.
However, the fact that he was ridden by Ye Qingchen to complete the alley-oop cannot be changed!
Drexler, who was following Ye Qingchen, was quite shocked after seeing Ye Qingchen complete this shocking buckle.
His shock was that Ye Qingchen's speed was really too fast.
The pioneer's protection against Ye Qingchen was already tight enough, but in the end he managed to get rid of it.
He even dunked on Duckworth's head!
This dunk did a lot of damage to the morale of the Blazers.
The scene, which was originally very noisy, became a lot quieter in an instant.
After Ye Qingchen finished riding the dunk, he dangled on the basket for a while before letting go of his hands and landing lightly.
After doing all this, Ye Qingchen looked at the fans on the scene again, spread his hands, and made a very helpless look.
Ye Qingchen once again challenged the Blazers fans.
Ye Qingchen's provocative actions made the fans at the scene quite unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.
After all, Ye Qingchen really completed the buckle on Duckworth's head!
After putting on a show, Ye Qingchen turned around and glanced at Dakovos who had been pulled up from the ground by his teammates, smiled lightly, shook his head and ran to the frontcourt.
Although Ye Qingchen didn't say anything, his actions have already expressed everything.
This is a blatant contempt for Darkworth!
This is an action that is not very harmful, but extremely insulting!
Darkworth's eyes are about to burst into flames!
Originally being buckled by Ye Qingchen, he was very upset.
Now Ye Qingchen still wants to be ridiculed by such an action, of course he can't swallow it.
Just when he was about to talk trash to Ye Qingchen, Drexler took the initiative to stop him:
"Hey man, take it easy!"
"This time it was my negligence that allowed him to easily rush into the inside lane!"
"So, it's my problem, and it won't happen again next time!"
Drexler's initiative to take on the mistake made Duckworth feel better.
"Don't worry, I won't let him complete the shot next time!"
Duckworth said bitterly.
Drexler nodded. The reason why he prevented his teammates from launching trash talk attacks on Ye Qingchen was because he knew that people like Ye Qingchen could not be provoked.
Now, the Blazers have an absolute advantage in the lineup.
Therefore, as long as they can play steadily and implement the tactics assigned by the head coach, then the victory in this game will definitely belong to the Trail Blazers.
However, if you provoke Ye Qingchen and anger him at the beginning, there may be a big change.
Just refer to the fate of the Jazz players.
It was not the first time Drexler had fought against Ye Qingchen, he knew how terrifying Ye Qingchen's strength was.
Now, the Lakers need Ye Qingchen to stand up and score, so Ye Qingchen can actually get some points properly.
As long as it is ensured that the other players of the Lakers cannot score easily, the final result of the Lakers is still unavoidable.
This truth, Drexler is quite clear.
Another attack by the Blazers!
The Blazers' offense was still initiated by Drexler, and after attracting the Lakers' defense, they distributed the ball to open teammates and assisted them to score.
This time, it was Buck Williams' pie-eating success!
8: 2!
The Blazers' offense is very organized, and scoring is much easier than that of the Lakers.
Even Ye Qingchen felt a little helpless about this result.
After all, although one's own defensive ability is very strong, it also requires the cooperation of teammates.
Now the Lakers' zone defense can't limit the Blazers' offense at all, so changes must be made.
The Lakers requested a timeout!
Ye Qingchen suggested that Dengtou change his defensive strategy to man-to-man defense, and switch defenses infinitely.
It means that as soon as you encounter a pick-and-roll, you will change immediately.
Regarding Ye Qingchen's defensive suggestion, Old Deng chose to accept it.
On the offensive end, Ye Qingchen continued to choose to play off the ball.
The Blazers' defense against Ye Qingchen is quite strict.
As long as Ye Qingchen gets the ball, a double team will come immediately.
Therefore, if Ye Qingchen wants to focus on the No. [-] position, the effect may not be very satisfactory.
Because what the Lakers lack now is a finisher.
If Keith Owens is not injured, then Ye Qingchen can pass the ball to Keith Owens in the No. [-] position and let him complete the finish.
But now Keith Owens has been reimbursed for the season due to injury, and Byron Scott and Streiter's perimeter is not stable.
Even if they have an open chance, the hit rate is not very ideal.
Therefore, it is a helpless move for Ye Qingchen to switch to playing without the ball!
However, Ye Qingchen's advantage in switching to off-ball is his physical fitness.
As long as Ye Qingchen uses his unlimited physical energy to continuously move around, it will consume a lot of physical energy of the Blazers' defensive players.
In this way, the rapid consumption of the Blazers' physical fitness will cause them problems on the offensive end.
This is also one of Ye Qingchen's trump cards at this stage.
Pause back, the Lakers attack!
Ye Qingchen began to use the cover of his teammates to run without the ball.
Obviously, the Trail Blazers had already expected Ye Qingchen's offensive choice.
Therefore, their defense against Ye Qingchen could still be inseparable.
The Blazers' players also switched defenses indefinitely. When Ye Qingchen appeared in front of them, he just followed up.
If you can't keep up, take the initiative to defend to the original player's position.
This defensive strategy is the most effective strategy the Blazers can think of at this stage.
A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Ye Qingchen's mouth.
Although it was difficult for him to get rid of the entanglement of these Blazers players in a short time, Ye Qingchen was in no hurry.
He even dealt with these players patiently.
When the attack time was running out, Ye Qingchen was speeding up again, quickly getting rid of the defender, catching the ball and shooting!
At this time, Ye Qingchen was no longer limited to shooting inside the two-point line.
Ye Qingchen's shot this time was a shot from beyond the three-point line!
This is also Ye Qingchen's second three-point shot in an official game!
Keith Owens on the sidelines saw Ye Qingchen's three-pointer, his expression was quite excited:
"He's finally going to shoot from beyond the three-point line!"
"Being able to force him to take a three-pointer makes the Blazers proud enough!"
Is Ye Qingchen's three-pointer accurate?
Check out the video of Ye Qingchen winning the All-Star Contest!
He obviously had a chance to get a full score, but at the last moment he chose to give up and continue shooting.
This is enough to prove how strong Ye Qingchen's three-point shooting ability is.
However, Ye Qingchen obviously has a super three-point shooting ability, but in the game, Ye Qingchen has never shown his three-point shooting ability.
This is also what confuses a lot of people.
Even some celebrities even joked directly:
"Maybe, he is just a training player?"
"In some insignificant games, his three-point shooting rate is really high!"
"But when it comes to important games, his three-point shooting percentage will be extremely low!"
"So, during the game, he didn't even dare to shoot a three-pointer!"
Many people agree with this point of view.
Therefore, the concept that Ye Qingchen will not shoot outside the three-point line has formed in the minds of many players.
But never expected that Ye Qingchen would shoot a three-pointer in the first game of the Western Conference Finals!
As soon as Ye Qingchen took the ball and shot a three-pointer, Buck Williams had already swooped in.
Buck Williams' defense is actually too late!
And he hadn't been able to control his body in time, the huge inertia made him throw Ye Qingchen to the ground directly after the shot!
The referee's whistle sounded!
Foul by Buck Williams!
The eyes of the fans at the scene were fixed on the basketball in flight.
All the fans don't want Ye Qingchen's shot to hit!
However, Ye Qingchen let them down again this time!
"Shh!"
Basketball hollow into the net!
The referee immediately made a valid gesture for the goal!
"3+1!"
"My goodness!"
"Ye not only made a three-pointer, but also scored 3+1!"
The commentator at the scene also exclaimed loudly at this moment.
Obviously, Ye Qingchen started shooting from outside the three-point line, which has already shocked many people.
Even Adelman, the head coach of the Blazers on the sidelines, had a rather gloomy expression:
"shit!"
"He actually started shooting outside the three-point line!"
For Adelman, he really didn't want to see Ye Qingchen shoot outside the three-point line.
Because once Ye Qingchen opened up outside the three-point line, the Blazers' defense would face a new problem.
The question is whether to expand the range of defense against Ye Qingchen.
If the range of defense against Ye Qingchen is expanded, the Blazers' defense inside will inevitably be weakened.
Even if the offensive ability of the Lakers' inside players has dropped significantly, they can still do it easily if they eat cakes easily.
Therefore, Adelman felt quite difficult for Ye Qingchen to hit this three-pointer.
He was thinking whether to continue to wait and see, to see if Ye Qingchen would continue to shoot outside the three-point line.
At this time, Ye Qingchen had already walked to the free throw line, hit the extra penalty easily, and scored four points successfully!
8: 6!
The Blazers fans at the scene were very upset by Ye Qingchen's tough four-pointer this time.
Drexler's expression became more and more serious.
Ye Qingchen's variety of offensive methods made their defense quite passive.
However, he quickly adjusted his emotions and signaled his teammates to continue to focus on offense.
The Lakers' defense has switched to man-to-man defense.
And it was Byron Scott who appeared in front of Drexler, and Ye Qingchen's main defense turned out to be Darkworth.
Duckworth was very excited about this matchup.
Although Ye Qingchen is very powerful, Dakovos has the advantage of height.
Therefore, Dakovos immediately stuck Ye Qingchen behind him and reached out for the ball!
After the basketball was passed to Dakovos, he dribbled the ball with his back and then changed hands to complete the dunk with one hand!
After all, it's already pretty close to the basket where Duckworth catches the ball.
Coupled with his height advantage, of course he wanted to complete the dunk on Ye Qingchen!
In the expectant eyes of the fans at the scene, Dakovos's one-handed dunk was directly confiscated by Ye Qingchen with one hand!
The place was silent!
No one could have expected that Dakovos's one-handed dunk would be blocked by Ye Qingchen in such a way!
After completing the block, Ye Qingchen held the ball in both hands and directly threw the ball vigorously to the forward court.
Streiter has already made a quick layup ahead of time, and after catching the ball, he easily completed a quick layup!
8: 8!
Under Ye Qingchen's excellent defense on both ends of the offense and defense, the Lakers evened the score!
This result makes the Trail Blazers coach Rick Adelman quite dissatisfied!
He asked for a timeout angrily, and yelled at the players who were leaving the field.
Regarding the head coach's anger, none of the starting five players dared to refute.
Indeed, they themselves were quite dissatisfied with their performance just now.
With a lineup like the Lakers, it's a joke that they can't even close the gap.
After Adelman rearranged his emotions, he began to re-analyze the Lakers' style of play.
Moreover, he also specifically emphasized that if you can't restrict Ye Qingchen well on the defensive end, you don't have to blame yourself too much.
However, on the offensive end, it is necessary to maintain a high success rate, to continuously pass the ball, and tear the Lakers' defense apart!
This timeout is crucial for the Trail Blazers.
At the beginning, they did despise the Lakers, and they all thought they could easily beat the Lakers.
Now, they have realized their arrogance and underestimation of the enemy, and they have re-emphasized this game.
Therefore, after this timeout, the Blazers' offense began to become reasonable and sharp again!
Although the Lakers chose a defensive strategy of unlimited defense changes, the Blazers' ability to conduct the ball is too strong.
In addition, except for Ye Qingchen, the Lakers' defensive attention is actually not very focused.
The Blazers' constant passing of the ball will distract them, and they can always easily get open scoring opportunities.
Therefore, in the rest of the first quarter, the Blazers' offense was already in full swing.
The Lakers' defense can't help the Trail Blazers at all.
However, although the performance of the Lakers on the defensive end was not satisfactory, but fortunately Ye Qingchen's performance on the offensive end was quite eye-catching.
The Blazers' defense against Ye Qingchen can be said to be tight enough, but in the end they still couldn't limit Ye Qingchen's scoring.
Therefore, the result was that the Lakers couldn't defend against the Blazers' offense, and the Blazers couldn't do anything to Ye Qingchen's offense.
The only difference is that the Trail Blazers are blooming more points, while the Lakers only have one Ye Qingchen who is struggling to score.
Therefore, when the first half of the game ended, the score of the two sides had become 56:46!
After halftime, the Lakers fell behind by ten points.
However, many fans were very surprised by this result.
Because in their expectation, the Lakers would lose at least [-] points at halftime.
But now they only lost ten points, which shows that they underestimated the strength of the Lakers' remnants.
To be precise, he underestimated Ye Qingchen's strength.
Because Ye Qingchen had already scored 35 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds and 4 steals at halftime.
The others added up and only scored 11 points.
It can be said that the Lakers are only ten points behind because of Ye Qingchen's hard support.
But even though Ye Qingchen's performance was explosive enough, no one thought the Lakers had a chance to win this game.
In Danzi’s words when watching the game:
"Ye played very well, but they didn't have any chance of winning, not even a single point, because the rest of the Lakers players had already started to lose their strength."
