NBA: There is nothing wrong with bringing a ball in a fight!
Chapter 153 Ye Qingchen: I won the first game to avoid the embarrassment of being swept away!
Chapter 153 Ye Qingchen: I won the first match to avoid the embarrassment of being swept away!
Ye Qingchen and Drexler rushed towards the basketball at the same time.
This ball possession plays a vital role in the final outcome of this game.
If Ye Qingchen can get the ball, then he can take advantage of the trend to complete the fast break and score, narrowing the point difference to 3 points left.
And if Drexler gets the ball, he is likely to pass the ball to his teammates as soon as possible, allowing the teammates to continue to consume offensive time.
Moreover, as long as the possession of the ball is obtained by the Trail Blazers this time, then the victory of this game is likely to belong to the Trail Blazers.
All the Blazers fans in the audience were nervously watching the battle for the ball.
In everyone's eyes, Ye Qingchen got the basketball first.
This result made Drexler quite depressed.
But he didn't lose his temper because of it.
After all, even if Ye Qingchen got the ball, it would be quite difficult for him to score immediately.
Therefore, Drexler's first reaction was to prevent Ye Qingchen from scoring easily.
Drexler quickly appeared in front of Ye Qingchen, trying to slow down Ye Qingchen's attack speed.
At this time, the position of the two is already at the top of the arc.
For the time being, there is only Drexler in front of Ye Qingchen, and the rest of the Blazers are still behind Ye Qingchen.
Now the situation is one-on-one!
If Ye Qingchen wanted to secure points, it must be to resolutely attack the inside and break through Drexler's defense.
Even the commentator at the scene said nervously:
"Ye actually doesn't have many choices. Now he has to race against time to score first!"
"Only by using this ball possession to score quickly, can we have the opportunity to keep the suspense until the end!"
"So his offensive selection this time is crucial!@"
"Personally, he should hit the inside line as close to the basket as possible to score!"
The commentator's words won a burst of boos from the Blazers fans at the scene.
Obviously, they didn't want Ye Qingchen to get two points quickly.
Even Danzi, who was sitting in front of the TV, joked with a playful smile:
"At the last moment, it depends on how you choose!"
"If it were me, of course I would make a mid-range shot with an emergency stop and score two points first!"
"Score points in the shortest possible time and save attacking time as much as possible!"
Just after Danzi finished teasing, he saw Ye Qingchen make an offensive choice.
After seeing Ye Qingchen's choice, Danzi's eyes instantly became shocked!
Because Ye Qingchen, under the defense of Drexler, actually dribbled the ball directly under the crotch and took a step back, and the whole person withdrew beyond the three-point line.
Under Drexler's shocked eyes, Ye Qingchen shot a three-pointer!
"My goodness!"
"It's a three-pointer with a step back!"
"He actually chose the most risky shot!"
"If this three-point shot fails, the Lakers will definitely lose the game!"
The narrator's exclamation was clearly heard by everyone at the scene.
Ye Qingchen's shooting choice is indeed quite risky.
If it is said that time is running out, there is no problem at all for Ye Qingchen to choose this way of attack.
But in fact, when Ye Qingchen got the ball and then took a three-pointer with a step back, there were still 30 seconds to attack.
With such ample attack time, Ye Qingchen chose to shoot a three-pointer, which surprised everyone.
Although Drexler was shocked, he rushed forward immediately, trying to block Ye Qingchen's three-pointer!
It's just that Ye Qingchen's step back was too big, and with Ye Qingchen's height and long arms, Drexler's defense didn't have any impact on Ye Qingchen at all.
The basketball drew a beautiful line and flew towards the basket!
Keith Owens on the sidelines even stood up from the bench excitedly. He even forgot that he was still wearing a thick protective gear on his left foot.
"Shh!"
The pleasant voice sounded!
This voice disappointed the Blazers fans at the scene!
Ye Qingchen actually hit the three-point shot this time!
103: 101!
The last 29 seconds of attack time left!
The ball is in the hands of the Blazers!
Even Danzi was amazed when he saw Ye Qingchenbiao's three-point retreat.
"This guy, I've never seen him use a step-back three-pointer before. What other moves does he have that we haven't seen?"
Danzi's words were filled with deep fear.
With the deepening of the playoffs, Ye Qingchen displayed more and more offensive methods in the game.
From the beginning of the season to the present, Ye Qingchen has transformed from a player who can only use his body and brute force to score, into a superstar with [-] offensive methods.
Even Danzi was amazed by this process.
The progress is really too fast.
Even if he is as strong as Danzi, when he entered the league, his jump shot was not very proficient.
Danzi is also using his own sweat to slowly polish his offensive skills, and it took several seasons to let his middle distance reach the level of Dacheng.
But Ye Qingchen has only experienced one season, and his offensive skills have become so rich.
This can only show that Ye Qingchen's offensive talent is really too strong!
The Blazers fans at the scene have been much quieter.
Adelman requested a timeout.
In the last 29 seconds, for the Blazers, there was quite ample time.
Although Ye Qingchen made a three-pointer, the Lakers were still 2 points behind.
The initiative is still in the hands of the Trail Blazers.
As long as they can guarantee a successful score in the 24-second attack time, the victory of this game still belongs to the Trail Blazers.
But then again, although they are taking the initiative, once their offense fails to hit this time, it will give the Lakers a chance to kill!
Therefore, this offense is also crucial for the Trail Blazers.
The Trail Blazers players are under tremendous psychological pressure at this moment.
Of course Adelman knew that this was not the time to put pressure on the players. He still maintained a high degree of self-confidence and encouraged the players with an impassioned tone:
"Give the ball to Clyde, and we all pull away!"
"Clyde, you have to believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to score points in this attack!"
"The other players will do their best to help you!"
Drexler nodded heavily after hearing what the head coach said.
In fact, Drexler had a lot of self-blame for Ye Qingchen blocking his shot just now.
If he hadn't been blocked by Ye Qingchen and got the ball, the Trail Blazers wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation.
Moreover, not only did he fail to regain possession of the ball, he even watched Ye Qingchen hit a step-back three-pointer!
Therefore, the previous round was Drexler's fault.
Now, coach Adelman once again handed over the last chance of attack to his hands.
Therefore, he must cherish this opportunity of atonement, and must complete this attack.
The tactical arrangement of the Lakers here is very casual, and Lao Dengtou didn't even deliberately arrange defensive tactics.
He just smiled at Ye Qingchen and said:
"For the final attack, the basketball will definitely be handed over to Clyde!"
"Then the task of defending him is up to you!"
Regarding Old Deng's arrangement, Ye Qingchen nodded calmly.
The rest of the Lakers players were quite nervous at this time.
Because from the start of the playoffs to the present, the Lakers have never encountered such a stalemate score.
Moreover, at this time, the Lakers have the opportunity to complete the counterattack.
In this case, of course, they will have a huge sense of tension.
Only Keith Owens was quite relaxed, and he even joked directly to Ye Qingchen loudly:
"Hey Ye, I know what your script is!"
"You want to successfully defend Clyde and then hit the winning shot in front of him, right?"
Keith Owens' words made Ye Qingchen's expression change instantly, and he exclaimed loudly:
"How do you know my script?"
Ye Qingchen's exaggerated expression made the Lakers players burst into laughter instantly.
The interaction between Ye Qingchen and Keith Owens finally eased the nervousness of other Lakers players.
Pause ends, game continues!
Last 29 seconds!
Trailblazers possession of the ball!
Darkworth passes the ball into Drexler's hands.
After the latter received the ball at the position of the logo, he did not dribble the ball immediately. Instead, he observed the Lakers' defense.
As expected, Ye Qingchen appeared in front of him.
Seeing Ye Qingchen appear in front of him, Drexler's expression became serious.
The time of the timer is constantly beating:
28
Drexler didn't start dribbling until the time came to 22 seconds.
Regarding Drexler's wasted time, Ye Qingchen didn't feel any impatience.
He waited calmly for Drexler to dribble.
When Drexler started to dribble, Ye Qingchen lowered his center of gravity, and then stretched out his right hand to try to interfere with his dribble.
Drexler immediately stepped sideways to protect the ball.
Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers cover is up!
Dakovos came behind Ye Qingchen and formed a pick-and-roll wall for Drexler!
Drexler quickly dribbled the ball past Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen stepped up to grab the position in time, and he didn't intend to change defense.
But the result of this is that Ye Qingchen will be half a beat slower.
When Ye Qingchen bypassed Dakovos, Drexler had already dribbled to the free throw line.
Campbell made up the defense in time!
The time display on the timer is 10 seconds!
There are 5 seconds left for the Trail Blazers to attack!
Out of the corner of his eye Drexler noticed that teammate Buck Williams was open because he cut in from the perimeter!
The inside of the Lakers is completely empty!
Without any hesitation, Drexler directly passed the basketball in his hand to Buck Williams who was in an open state under the basket.
Behind Drexler, Ye Qingchen had already caught up with him, and he clearly saw Drexler's pass.
Buck Williams got the basketball and jumped with both feet, ready to complete a two-handed dunk!
The Blazers fans at the scene jumped up from their seats excitedly seeing this scene.
Because Drexler's pass this time is too subtle.
He fooled all the defensive players of the Lakers!
Buck Williams is already in an absolute open opportunity, and he must be able to easily complete the dunk!
As long as these two points are scored, the time left for the Lakers is only four seconds.
And the Lakers are already four points behind, so they have no chance of overtaking the score at all!
Even Buck Williams is already thinking about how to celebrate after scoring a goal.
However, just as Buck Williams was about to dunk the ball into the basket with both hands, a figure descended from the sky!
Then, in the shocked eyes of everyone at the scene, this figure directly capped Buck Williams' two-handed dunk!
This is not the most shocking place!
The most shocking thing is that after this big hand completed the block in the air, he also snatched the ball in the air.
After the figure landed, the basketball was already in his hands.
Who else could this person be if it wasn't Ye Qingchen?
All the Blazers players on the field were dumbfounded!
They never expected that Ye Qingchen would be able to complete the sealing in such a limited time.
At this time, Ye Qingchen didn't care what other people were feeling.
Because the remaining attack time is running out!
Ye Qingchen started dribbling the ball and ran towards the frontcourt!
After half-pay, the Blazers players reacted!
Drexler turned and chased after him!
Ye Qingchen's quick dribble this time has increased his speed to the extreme!
The commentator at the scene even exclaimed loudly:
"What did I see?"
"How on earth did he do it?"
"This cover is really incredible!"
"The only suspense now is whether he can complete the final buzzer shot in such a short period of time!"
For the Blazers fans at the scene, it was difficult for them to accept the fact that Buck Williams was blocked by Ye Qingchen just now.
Because that's a huge space!
Even if the player who catches the ball is an amateur, he can easily score.
But such a simple scoring opportunity was actually blocked by Ye Qingchen.
Buck Williams has become a sinner for the Trail Blazers. If Ye Qingchen really hits the buzzer, then his blocking this time will become unforgivable.
Danzi's expression in front of the TV was equally shocked.
Ye Qingchen's shocking cover this time made Dan Zi feel his scalp go numb.
You must know that Ye Qingchen rushed into the basket from a position near the free throw line to complete the block.
This is enough to prove how fast Ye Qingchen sealed the cover this time!
"Although you have completed such an astonishing block, there is not much time left. It is really sad for you to complete the lore!"
Dan Zi said softly with emotion.
While he was muttering to himself, Ye Qingchen had already dribbled the ball past the center line.
After the dribble crosses the center line, there are only two seconds left.
Two seconds is too short, Ye Qingchen's only choice is to shoot a super long three-pointer!
And behind Ye Qingchen, Drexler immediately caught up!
Now, even the Lakers players know that it is basically impossible for Ye Qingchen to complete the lore!
Because time is too short!
When Drexler watched the timer jump from two seconds to one second, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because it is almost impossible to complete the shot and hit a three-pointer in such a short period of time.
Under Drexler's gaze, Ye Qingchen made a shot!
The place where the shot is taken is where the logo is!
Moreover, Ye Qingchen's shot this time is not a conventional shooting action, it is more like an archery action on horseback.
Seeing Ye Qingchen's horseback riding and archery action, Drexler became more relaxed.
Because it is really difficult to use this action to hit this ultra-long three-pointer!
The Blazers fans at the scene were already nervously clasping their hands together, staring at the basketball flying towards the basket!
The timer time has completely run out!
The game is over!
After the time ran out, the basketball finally hit the back frame!
"Boom!"
There was only one dull sound, and there was no other sound.
Because after the basketball hit the back frame, it bounced directly into the basket!
!!!
Hit!
This time Ye Qingchen actually hit a three-pointer with horse riding and archery at the buzzer!
Ye Qingchen accomplished the final kill by himself!
103: 104!
The Lakers won this game by one point!
All the players of the Lakers rushed towards Ye Qingchen who had completed the lore at the same time!
At this moment, Ye Qingchen had a relieved smile on his face, because even he was not fully sure that he could hit the three-pointer at the buzzer this time.
However, after he made the shot, Ye Qingchen knew that the three-point shot at the buzzer was a solid shot this time!
The Lakers players had already rushed in front of Ye Qingchen, and everyone shouted at Ye Qingchen crazily.
There was excitement on every Lakers player's face.
Even Keith Owens, who was limping on one leg, rushed to Ye Qingchen with a limp, shouting loudly:
"I knew it!"
"You won't let us down!"
"Damn, it's really exciting!"
"You completed the lore!"
"We won Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals!"
Seeing Keith Owens' excited expression, Ye Qingchen said with a smile:
"Yes, after all, after winning this series, our benefits will be great!"
Of course Keith Owens knew the meaning of Ye Qingchen's words, he nodded excitedly.
The players of the Lakers were still celebrating Ye Qingchen crazily on the court, while the players of the Trail Blazers were all looking at the big screen with dull expressions.
Because until this time, they are still unwilling to believe that the game is over and they are losers.
Especially Drexler, his face is full of depression.
He witnessed with his own eyes Ye Qingchen's completion of blocking the shot to the final shot, the whole process was like a dream.
Especially Ye Qingchen's shot this time, the movement is completely unconventional.
With such an unconventional action, Ye Qingchen was able to hit it!
This result is too cruel for the Trail Blazers!
Some Blazers fans at the scene couldn't accept this fact and began to cry in a low voice.
They never thought that the final result would be like this.
You know, from the beginning to the last four seconds of this game, the Blazers were in the lead.
Moreover, it can even be said that the Blazers have always played against the Lakers.
But why did he lose in the end in a game where he clearly had the upper hand?
Ye Qingchen's kill has already been replayed on the big screen at the scene.
The replay this time started when Ye Qingchen finished sealing the cover.
Everyone could clearly see that when Buck Williams received the ball, Ye Qingchen had already rushed to the basket from near the free throw line!
In just two big strides, Ye Qingchen had already reached the basket, and then jumped high to block Buck Williams!
Ye Qingchen's help defense block this time is really too fast and cruel!
No one would have thought that Ye Qingchen, who was so far away, would be able to complete the cover!
Therefore, Buck Williams really can't take the blame this time, because Ye Qingchen's strength is too strong!
"Loud!"
"Three-point buzzer lore!"
"My goodness!"
"What did I see?"
"Ye actually completed the lore!"
"That's the beauty of the playoffs!"
"Until the last moment, there is still suspense in the game!"
"Ye used his actions to tell us that victory belongs to the Lakers!"
The expression of Danzi in front of the TV at the moment is also extremely shocked.
He also didn't expect that Ye Qingchen could actually complete the lore.
And this lore shooting posture is still an unconventional shooting posture, which is even more incredible.
"Damn it, isn't God really possessed by this guy?"
"His dribbling is too good, isn't he?"
Danzi attributed Ye Qingchen's buzzer-beater this time to Ye Qingchen's good luck.
Because in his opinion, such a shooting posture is usually a blind throw, and this hit is just a dribble on Ye Qingchen's side.
From the perspective of overall strength, the Blazers still have the absolute upper hand.
Therefore, in this series, Danzi is still optimistic about the Trail Blazers.
In the first game of the Western Conference finals, a super upset broke out!
Ye Qingchen hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, completed a shocking lore, and led the Lakers to victory in the game!
After this campaign, the big score between the two sides became 1:0!
The Lakers, whom no one is optimistic about, even took the lead in winning the first game.
This result directly slaps all the experts and celebrities in the United States, especially those who publicly said that the Lakers will be swept.
And after the match, when Ye Qingchen was interviewed by reporters, he also replied in a joking tone:
"You should know that many pundits think we will be swept out."
"However, after this game, we avoided the embarrassing situation of being swept away!"
"In this way, they will soon predict that we will lose this series by a big score of 1:4!"
Ye Qingchen's answer directly made all the reporters look weird.
Obviously, Ye Qingchen is mocking those so-called experts who are blind!
This is advanced black!
But I have to say that Ye Qingchen's answer was really a powerful counterattack to those celebrities who were pessimistic about the Lakers.
Moreover, as long as Ye Qingchen's answer is reported, it will definitely cause widespread controversy.
This is the most desired result for media reporters!
For the bookmakers, the result of this game caused them some panic.
Because they predicted that the Lakers would lose, but now it was Ye Qingchen who made the kill, and the Lakers took the lead in winning the first game.
Now, the president of the gaming company began to think of the fear of being dominated by Ye Qingchen again.
Before that, Ye Qingchen had won all the matches that he thought would be an upset.
Now, Ye Qingchen once again led the team to an upset victory over the Trail Blazers.
That would of course make the people in the gaming company feel extremely nervous.
Now, the president of the gaming company even regretted setting the odds of the Lakers advancing to the Finals so high.
After some ideological struggle, the president of the gaming company ordered to adjust the odds for the Lakers to qualify.
1: 5!
Before the start of the game, the odds of the Lakers being able to advance to the Finals were 1:10, but now it has become 1:5.
However, the reduction in odds has no effect on Ye Qingchen and Keith Owens.
After all, they have already completed their betting before the start of the game.
However, even though the Lakers won the first game, the outside world is still not optimistic that the Lakers can qualify.
Even after this game, many experts have strengthened their predictions:
It is impossible for the Lakers to appear in the finals, because the shortcomings of the Lakers are too obvious.
Well-known Lakers sunspot commentator Kenny Smith explained it this way:
第一场比赛,叶砍下了50分18篮板19助攻5抢断6封盖的超级三双数据,他的表现是现象级的。
Therefore, with Ye's explosive performance, the Lakers were able to win the game with difficulty.
However, after this game, the head coach of the Trail Blazers will definitely make a tighter defense against Ye, and they may even have three-team or four-team situations.
With such a defensive intensity, can Ye still get such explosive data?
The answer is obviously no. In the first game, Ye has already exhausted all his potential. I think he will definitely be sluggish in the second game!
For Kenny Smith's remarks, many famous people even agreed.
Because it is true that punishment is based on objective facts.
Because it is inferred from common sense that it is impossible for a player to maintain a super competitive state all the time.
Moreover, after this game, the Blazers' defense against Ye Qingchen will definitely be tighter.
Therefore, it will become more difficult for the Lakers to continue to win the game.
Besides, many people think that the lore that Ye Qingchen contributed in the first game is luck, and it is impossible for him to be so lucky forever!
When Ye Qingchen learned of these remarks, he immediately laughed.
Sure enough, as he expected, these famous experts are all blind.
However, if they don't use such remarks to attract the attention of fans, it seems that they don't have much meaning.
Therefore, Ye Qingchen hoped that these remarks would appear more.
In that case, they will be more happy when the time comes to slap them in the face.
After the Lakers took the lead in winning a game, the Eastern Conference Finals also started their first game.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Chicago Bulls and the Boston Celtics will face each other.
For this game, the outside world is generally optimistic about the Bulls.
After all, the Bulls' regular season record is the best in the league.
And their lineup is quite terrifying.
The backcourt partnership of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen scares every team.
Moreover, in the current Celtics team, except for Lewis who is relatively young, the rest of the main players are already too old.
Especially "Big Bird" Larry Bird, he is already 36 years old.
Compared with the young Chicago Bulls, the Celtics really do not have any advantage.
However, although the outside world is generally optimistic about the Bulls, for Danzi, he dare not take it lightly.
Although Danzi despises the Celtics strategically, he attaches great importance to it tactically.
Especially the "big bird" Larry Bird who likes to pretend but can always pretend to be. His performance in the previous playoffs is also remarkable.
For this Eastern Conference Finals, there are no fewer people paying attention than the Western Conference Finals.
Even Ye Qingchen sat in front of the TV to watch the match.
Of course, Ye Qingchen watched the game with the entire Lakers team.
Before the match, old Dengtou asked Ye Qingchen about his views on this match, and Ye Qingchen's answer made old Dengtou very depressed:
"If you simply ask me what I think about this game, then I have no comment!"
"why?"
"Because there is no lottery!"
"Damn it! My wine cellar will be emptied by you! Are you really going to save some for me?"
"Okay, then don't ask me for my opinion!"
Ye Qingchen's reluctance made old Deng go crazy, because he really didn't seem to have won the bet with Ye Qingchen.
So, this time, Old Deng felt that it would be better to act first!
"Okay, let me bet you that I think the Bulls can win this game?"
When Old Dengtou said these words, Ye Qingchen didn't speak, and looked at Old Dengtou quietly.
Old Deng felt a little flustered when Ye Qingchen looked at him like this:
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I just want to see how thick your skin is!"
"Nonsense, I just expressed my opinion. If you think so, it means that you dare not bet with me now!"
"Look, everyone, look at your head coach, his skin is thicker than the Great Wall of Longguo!"
Ye Qingchen's ridicule caused the other Lakers players to burst into laughter, and the one who laughed the loudest was Keith Owens.
Old Deng was unmoved by the team members' ridicule:
"Anyway, I am optimistic that the Bulls can win. If you bet on me, you can only be optimistic about the Celtics, otherwise you will admit defeat!"
"Okay, this is what you said, then I am optimistic about the Celtics in this game!"
Ye Qingchen's answer made Old Deng feel unbelievable:
"Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true, everyone has heard it. If it's true that the Celtics won, then I can take your good wine!"
"Hahahaha, okay, that's what you said. If I win then, you will return all my good wine!"
"A word is settled!"
"A word is settled!"
So, under the witness of the entire Lakers team, Ye Qingchen and Lao Dengtou completed the bet.
Regarding the bet between Lao Dengtou and Ye Qingchen, almost everyone believed that the head coach Lao Dengtou would win.
After all, the strength of the Bulls is indeed far superior to the Celtics.
However, only Keith Owens chose to believe in Ye Qingchen:
"Although Mike is my coach, I still have more confidence in Ye in terms of betting, so I support Ye!"
For Keith Owens' brainless team, Old Deng didn't take it seriously, because he felt that he was sure to win this wave.
After Ye Qingchen and Lao Dengtou reached a bet against each other, the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals had already begun.
Just judging from the lineups of both sides, the Bulls do have the upper hand.
In the matchup of the backcourt, the Bulls completed the Celtics.
If you look at the inside line, it may be relatively weak.
However, in the case of a small gap inside, the Bulls must have an absolute upper hand.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the Bulls firmly grasped the rhythm of the game, and the duo between Danzi and Pippen transferred the Celtics' defense.
Danzi's touch in this game was quite good, and his mid-range shooting percentage in the first quarter was as high as 80.00%.
Led by Danzi's super high shooting percentage, after the end of the first quarter, the Bulls have secured a double-digit lead.
42: 30!
The Celtics trailed by as many as 12 points in the first quarter!
This result put Lao Deng in a good mood, and he joked to Ye Qingchen with a smile on his face:
"Actually, if you admit defeat at this time, I can consider not having you return all the good wine!"
Regarding Lao Deng's pride, Ye Qingchen smiled slightly and said:
"Don't, I even want to increase the bet, I don't know if you dare?"
Ye Qingchen's words made Lao Dengtou and other Lakers players even more curious:
"You still want to raise the stakes? Don't you see that the Celtics are now behind?"
"Yes, increase the bet. You must know that being behind now does not mean that you will always be behind!"
Ye Qingchen looked at Old Dengtou jokingly and said.
"How do you want to up the ante?"
"I bet you have all the good wine in your cellar!"
Ye Qingchen's self-confidence made Old Deng start to feel a little suspicious.
He didn't know if Ye Qingchen was scaring him or if he really thought that the Celtics had a chance to win this game.
But after comparing the strengths of all aspects, Lao Dengtou really can't see that the Celtics have any chance of winning.
Finally, he began to confirm that Ye Qingchen was deliberately scaring him.
"Okay! Increase the bet, I'll bet with you! If you lose, you will return my good wine twice!"
"no problem!"
Ye Qingchen's straightforwardness made the other Lakers players even more curious.
They really don't know who gave Ye Qingchen the confidence.
He actually took the initiative to increase the bet when the Celtics trailed by 12 points in the first quarter. Isn't this a disguised gift to Lao Dengtou?
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Ye Qingchen was right to do so.
After all, what Old Deng said was Ye Qingchen's head coach, and it seemed like a good choice to return the good wine under such circumstances.
Even, Ye Qingchen took this opportunity to give Lao Deng twice as much good wine, which was enough to give Lao Deng enough face.
If it wasn't because Lao Dengtou only had a son, these Lakers players felt that Ye Qingchen was trying to curry favor with Lao Dengtou and plotted against him.
After raising the stakes again, all members of the Lakers once again focused on this game.
In the second quarter, the Celtics' offense was still tepid. Lewis' touch was not very good, and he was very uncomfortable being defended by Danzi.
Most of the Celtics' points came from inside. Fortunately, Paris and McHale had a good touch and were able to seize many opportunities so that the score would not be further expanded.
In addition, the performance of "Big Bird" Bird can be said to have made no contribution at all.
He only took four shots in the first half and only hit one three-pointer. He was even completely ignored by the Bulls.
Therefore, after the end of the first half, the point difference between the two sides has not narrowed, and the Bulls still maintain a 12-point lead.
70: 58!
For this result, Old Deng was very satisfied. He thought it was a certainty that the Bulls would win the game.
Even so, there was still not much anxiety on Ye Qingchen's face.
This made Old Deng very surprised, he didn't think Ye Qingchen deliberately wanted to lose to him.
Because he knew Ye Qingchen well, he would not take such a risk to do things that he was not sure about.
However, it now appears that the Celtics really can't beat the Bulls!
After the start of the second half, the Celtics' performance began to improve.
The most obvious is that they have become more active on the defensive end.
Danzi could no longer score as easily as in the first half, and the Celtics double-teamed him frantically.
Danzi started to pass the ball in desperation, but Danzi made several mistakes when passing the ball under double-teaming.
The Celtics used these few mistakes to play a fast break, and instantly narrowed the point difference to single digits.
This result made Lao Deng tense up instantly.
He really didn't expect that the Celtics would start to exert their strength in the second half, and their defensive strategy seemed to be very effective!
Even the old Deng didn't notice that "Big Bird" Bird actually only contributed on the defensive end in the third quarter, and his offense still didn't improve much.
In fact, the reason why "Big Bird" Bird's offense has not improved is because he rarely takes shots, and he puts more energy on defense.
When the third quarter ended, the score became 100:94.
The Celtics are only 6 points behind.
This result made Lao Deng start to get nervous!
Ye Qingchen seemed to see Lao Deng's nervousness, he joked with a smile:
"Don't be nervous, the fun has just begun!"
Ye Qingchen's words made Lao Deng's face a little depressed:
"The game is not over yet, the Celtics are still behind!"
But soon, Old Deng was slapped in the face.
As soon as the fourth quarter started, "Big Bird" Bird began to contribute.
He hit an open three-pointer from the outside, sounding the horn of the Celtics' counterattack.
"Big Bird" Bird, who had been playing dead in the first three quarters, was actually saving his energy and using it in the fourth quarter.
Ye Qingchen knew that "Big Bird" Bird was an old silver coin, so he was optimistic that the Celtics would win the first game.
It seems that my guess was right, Bird began to show off!
The Bulls players couldn't restrain the energetic Bird, and watched him keep hitting various three-pointers from the outside.
Danzi was dumbfounded!
Old Deng was dumbfounded!
At the end of the game, it was the Celtics who won!
Another big upset!

(End of this chapter)
Ye Qingchen and Drexler rushed towards the basketball at the same time.
This ball possession plays a vital role in the final outcome of this game.
If Ye Qingchen can get the ball, then he can take advantage of the trend to complete the fast break and score, narrowing the point difference to 3 points left.
And if Drexler gets the ball, he is likely to pass the ball to his teammates as soon as possible, allowing the teammates to continue to consume offensive time.
Moreover, as long as the possession of the ball is obtained by the Trail Blazers this time, then the victory of this game is likely to belong to the Trail Blazers.
All the Blazers fans in the audience were nervously watching the battle for the ball.
In everyone's eyes, Ye Qingchen got the basketball first.
This result made Drexler quite depressed.
But he didn't lose his temper because of it.
After all, even if Ye Qingchen got the ball, it would be quite difficult for him to score immediately.
Therefore, Drexler's first reaction was to prevent Ye Qingchen from scoring easily.
Drexler quickly appeared in front of Ye Qingchen, trying to slow down Ye Qingchen's attack speed.
At this time, the position of the two is already at the top of the arc.
For the time being, there is only Drexler in front of Ye Qingchen, and the rest of the Blazers are still behind Ye Qingchen.
Now the situation is one-on-one!
If Ye Qingchen wanted to secure points, it must be to resolutely attack the inside and break through Drexler's defense.
Even the commentator at the scene said nervously:
"Ye actually doesn't have many choices. Now he has to race against time to score first!"
"Only by using this ball possession to score quickly, can we have the opportunity to keep the suspense until the end!"
"So his offensive selection this time is crucial!@"
"Personally, he should hit the inside line as close to the basket as possible to score!"
The commentator's words won a burst of boos from the Blazers fans at the scene.
Obviously, they didn't want Ye Qingchen to get two points quickly.
Even Danzi, who was sitting in front of the TV, joked with a playful smile:
"At the last moment, it depends on how you choose!"
"If it were me, of course I would make a mid-range shot with an emergency stop and score two points first!"
"Score points in the shortest possible time and save attacking time as much as possible!"
Just after Danzi finished teasing, he saw Ye Qingchen make an offensive choice.
After seeing Ye Qingchen's choice, Danzi's eyes instantly became shocked!
Because Ye Qingchen, under the defense of Drexler, actually dribbled the ball directly under the crotch and took a step back, and the whole person withdrew beyond the three-point line.
Under Drexler's shocked eyes, Ye Qingchen shot a three-pointer!
"My goodness!"
"It's a three-pointer with a step back!"
"He actually chose the most risky shot!"
"If this three-point shot fails, the Lakers will definitely lose the game!"
The narrator's exclamation was clearly heard by everyone at the scene.
Ye Qingchen's shooting choice is indeed quite risky.
If it is said that time is running out, there is no problem at all for Ye Qingchen to choose this way of attack.
But in fact, when Ye Qingchen got the ball and then took a three-pointer with a step back, there were still 30 seconds to attack.
With such ample attack time, Ye Qingchen chose to shoot a three-pointer, which surprised everyone.
Although Drexler was shocked, he rushed forward immediately, trying to block Ye Qingchen's three-pointer!
It's just that Ye Qingchen's step back was too big, and with Ye Qingchen's height and long arms, Drexler's defense didn't have any impact on Ye Qingchen at all.
The basketball drew a beautiful line and flew towards the basket!
Keith Owens on the sidelines even stood up from the bench excitedly. He even forgot that he was still wearing a thick protective gear on his left foot.
"Shh!"
The pleasant voice sounded!
This voice disappointed the Blazers fans at the scene!
Ye Qingchen actually hit the three-point shot this time!
103: 101!
The last 29 seconds of attack time left!
The ball is in the hands of the Blazers!
Even Danzi was amazed when he saw Ye Qingchenbiao's three-point retreat.
"This guy, I've never seen him use a step-back three-pointer before. What other moves does he have that we haven't seen?"
Danzi's words were filled with deep fear.
With the deepening of the playoffs, Ye Qingchen displayed more and more offensive methods in the game.
From the beginning of the season to the present, Ye Qingchen has transformed from a player who can only use his body and brute force to score, into a superstar with [-] offensive methods.
Even Danzi was amazed by this process.
The progress is really too fast.
Even if he is as strong as Danzi, when he entered the league, his jump shot was not very proficient.
Danzi is also using his own sweat to slowly polish his offensive skills, and it took several seasons to let his middle distance reach the level of Dacheng.
But Ye Qingchen has only experienced one season, and his offensive skills have become so rich.
This can only show that Ye Qingchen's offensive talent is really too strong!
The Blazers fans at the scene have been much quieter.
Adelman requested a timeout.
In the last 29 seconds, for the Blazers, there was quite ample time.
Although Ye Qingchen made a three-pointer, the Lakers were still 2 points behind.
The initiative is still in the hands of the Trail Blazers.
As long as they can guarantee a successful score in the 24-second attack time, the victory of this game still belongs to the Trail Blazers.
But then again, although they are taking the initiative, once their offense fails to hit this time, it will give the Lakers a chance to kill!
Therefore, this offense is also crucial for the Trail Blazers.
The Trail Blazers players are under tremendous psychological pressure at this moment.
Of course Adelman knew that this was not the time to put pressure on the players. He still maintained a high degree of self-confidence and encouraged the players with an impassioned tone:
"Give the ball to Clyde, and we all pull away!"
"Clyde, you have to believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to score points in this attack!"
"The other players will do their best to help you!"
Drexler nodded heavily after hearing what the head coach said.
In fact, Drexler had a lot of self-blame for Ye Qingchen blocking his shot just now.
If he hadn't been blocked by Ye Qingchen and got the ball, the Trail Blazers wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation.
Moreover, not only did he fail to regain possession of the ball, he even watched Ye Qingchen hit a step-back three-pointer!
Therefore, the previous round was Drexler's fault.
Now, coach Adelman once again handed over the last chance of attack to his hands.
Therefore, he must cherish this opportunity of atonement, and must complete this attack.
The tactical arrangement of the Lakers here is very casual, and Lao Dengtou didn't even deliberately arrange defensive tactics.
He just smiled at Ye Qingchen and said:
"For the final attack, the basketball will definitely be handed over to Clyde!"
"Then the task of defending him is up to you!"
Regarding Old Deng's arrangement, Ye Qingchen nodded calmly.
The rest of the Lakers players were quite nervous at this time.
Because from the start of the playoffs to the present, the Lakers have never encountered such a stalemate score.
Moreover, at this time, the Lakers have the opportunity to complete the counterattack.
In this case, of course, they will have a huge sense of tension.
Only Keith Owens was quite relaxed, and he even joked directly to Ye Qingchen loudly:
"Hey Ye, I know what your script is!"
"You want to successfully defend Clyde and then hit the winning shot in front of him, right?"
Keith Owens' words made Ye Qingchen's expression change instantly, and he exclaimed loudly:
"How do you know my script?"
Ye Qingchen's exaggerated expression made the Lakers players burst into laughter instantly.
The interaction between Ye Qingchen and Keith Owens finally eased the nervousness of other Lakers players.
Pause ends, game continues!
Last 29 seconds!
Trailblazers possession of the ball!
Darkworth passes the ball into Drexler's hands.
After the latter received the ball at the position of the logo, he did not dribble the ball immediately. Instead, he observed the Lakers' defense.
As expected, Ye Qingchen appeared in front of him.
Seeing Ye Qingchen appear in front of him, Drexler's expression became serious.
The time of the timer is constantly beating:
28
Drexler didn't start dribbling until the time came to 22 seconds.
Regarding Drexler's wasted time, Ye Qingchen didn't feel any impatience.
He waited calmly for Drexler to dribble.
When Drexler started to dribble, Ye Qingchen lowered his center of gravity, and then stretched out his right hand to try to interfere with his dribble.
Drexler immediately stepped sideways to protect the ball.
Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers cover is up!
Dakovos came behind Ye Qingchen and formed a pick-and-roll wall for Drexler!
Drexler quickly dribbled the ball past Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen stepped up to grab the position in time, and he didn't intend to change defense.
But the result of this is that Ye Qingchen will be half a beat slower.
When Ye Qingchen bypassed Dakovos, Drexler had already dribbled to the free throw line.
Campbell made up the defense in time!
The time display on the timer is 10 seconds!
There are 5 seconds left for the Trail Blazers to attack!
Out of the corner of his eye Drexler noticed that teammate Buck Williams was open because he cut in from the perimeter!
The inside of the Lakers is completely empty!
Without any hesitation, Drexler directly passed the basketball in his hand to Buck Williams who was in an open state under the basket.
Behind Drexler, Ye Qingchen had already caught up with him, and he clearly saw Drexler's pass.
Buck Williams got the basketball and jumped with both feet, ready to complete a two-handed dunk!
The Blazers fans at the scene jumped up from their seats excitedly seeing this scene.
Because Drexler's pass this time is too subtle.
He fooled all the defensive players of the Lakers!
Buck Williams is already in an absolute open opportunity, and he must be able to easily complete the dunk!
As long as these two points are scored, the time left for the Lakers is only four seconds.
And the Lakers are already four points behind, so they have no chance of overtaking the score at all!
Even Buck Williams is already thinking about how to celebrate after scoring a goal.
However, just as Buck Williams was about to dunk the ball into the basket with both hands, a figure descended from the sky!
Then, in the shocked eyes of everyone at the scene, this figure directly capped Buck Williams' two-handed dunk!
This is not the most shocking place!
The most shocking thing is that after this big hand completed the block in the air, he also snatched the ball in the air.
After the figure landed, the basketball was already in his hands.
Who else could this person be if it wasn't Ye Qingchen?
All the Blazers players on the field were dumbfounded!
They never expected that Ye Qingchen would be able to complete the sealing in such a limited time.
At this time, Ye Qingchen didn't care what other people were feeling.
Because the remaining attack time is running out!
Ye Qingchen started dribbling the ball and ran towards the frontcourt!
After half-pay, the Blazers players reacted!
Drexler turned and chased after him!
Ye Qingchen's quick dribble this time has increased his speed to the extreme!
The commentator at the scene even exclaimed loudly:
"What did I see?"
"How on earth did he do it?"
"This cover is really incredible!"
"The only suspense now is whether he can complete the final buzzer shot in such a short period of time!"
For the Blazers fans at the scene, it was difficult for them to accept the fact that Buck Williams was blocked by Ye Qingchen just now.
Because that's a huge space!
Even if the player who catches the ball is an amateur, he can easily score.
But such a simple scoring opportunity was actually blocked by Ye Qingchen.
Buck Williams has become a sinner for the Trail Blazers. If Ye Qingchen really hits the buzzer, then his blocking this time will become unforgivable.
Danzi's expression in front of the TV was equally shocked.
Ye Qingchen's shocking cover this time made Dan Zi feel his scalp go numb.
You must know that Ye Qingchen rushed into the basket from a position near the free throw line to complete the block.
This is enough to prove how fast Ye Qingchen sealed the cover this time!
"Although you have completed such an astonishing block, there is not much time left. It is really sad for you to complete the lore!"
Dan Zi said softly with emotion.
While he was muttering to himself, Ye Qingchen had already dribbled the ball past the center line.
After the dribble crosses the center line, there are only two seconds left.
Two seconds is too short, Ye Qingchen's only choice is to shoot a super long three-pointer!
And behind Ye Qingchen, Drexler immediately caught up!
Now, even the Lakers players know that it is basically impossible for Ye Qingchen to complete the lore!
Because time is too short!
When Drexler watched the timer jump from two seconds to one second, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because it is almost impossible to complete the shot and hit a three-pointer in such a short period of time.
Under Drexler's gaze, Ye Qingchen made a shot!
The place where the shot is taken is where the logo is!
Moreover, Ye Qingchen's shot this time is not a conventional shooting action, it is more like an archery action on horseback.
Seeing Ye Qingchen's horseback riding and archery action, Drexler became more relaxed.
Because it is really difficult to use this action to hit this ultra-long three-pointer!
The Blazers fans at the scene were already nervously clasping their hands together, staring at the basketball flying towards the basket!
The timer time has completely run out!
The game is over!
After the time ran out, the basketball finally hit the back frame!
"Boom!"
There was only one dull sound, and there was no other sound.
Because after the basketball hit the back frame, it bounced directly into the basket!
!!!
Hit!
This time Ye Qingchen actually hit a three-pointer with horse riding and archery at the buzzer!
Ye Qingchen accomplished the final kill by himself!
103: 104!
The Lakers won this game by one point!
All the players of the Lakers rushed towards Ye Qingchen who had completed the lore at the same time!
At this moment, Ye Qingchen had a relieved smile on his face, because even he was not fully sure that he could hit the three-pointer at the buzzer this time.
However, after he made the shot, Ye Qingchen knew that the three-point shot at the buzzer was a solid shot this time!
The Lakers players had already rushed in front of Ye Qingchen, and everyone shouted at Ye Qingchen crazily.
There was excitement on every Lakers player's face.
Even Keith Owens, who was limping on one leg, rushed to Ye Qingchen with a limp, shouting loudly:
"I knew it!"
"You won't let us down!"
"Damn, it's really exciting!"
"You completed the lore!"
"We won Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals!"
Seeing Keith Owens' excited expression, Ye Qingchen said with a smile:
"Yes, after all, after winning this series, our benefits will be great!"
Of course Keith Owens knew the meaning of Ye Qingchen's words, he nodded excitedly.
The players of the Lakers were still celebrating Ye Qingchen crazily on the court, while the players of the Trail Blazers were all looking at the big screen with dull expressions.
Because until this time, they are still unwilling to believe that the game is over and they are losers.
Especially Drexler, his face is full of depression.
He witnessed with his own eyes Ye Qingchen's completion of blocking the shot to the final shot, the whole process was like a dream.
Especially Ye Qingchen's shot this time, the movement is completely unconventional.
With such an unconventional action, Ye Qingchen was able to hit it!
This result is too cruel for the Trail Blazers!
Some Blazers fans at the scene couldn't accept this fact and began to cry in a low voice.
They never thought that the final result would be like this.
You know, from the beginning to the last four seconds of this game, the Blazers were in the lead.
Moreover, it can even be said that the Blazers have always played against the Lakers.
But why did he lose in the end in a game where he clearly had the upper hand?
Ye Qingchen's kill has already been replayed on the big screen at the scene.
The replay this time started when Ye Qingchen finished sealing the cover.
Everyone could clearly see that when Buck Williams received the ball, Ye Qingchen had already rushed to the basket from near the free throw line!
In just two big strides, Ye Qingchen had already reached the basket, and then jumped high to block Buck Williams!
Ye Qingchen's help defense block this time is really too fast and cruel!
No one would have thought that Ye Qingchen, who was so far away, would be able to complete the cover!
Therefore, Buck Williams really can't take the blame this time, because Ye Qingchen's strength is too strong!
"Loud!"
"Three-point buzzer lore!"
"My goodness!"
"What did I see?"
"Ye actually completed the lore!"
"That's the beauty of the playoffs!"
"Until the last moment, there is still suspense in the game!"
"Ye used his actions to tell us that victory belongs to the Lakers!"
The expression of Danzi in front of the TV at the moment is also extremely shocked.
He also didn't expect that Ye Qingchen could actually complete the lore.
And this lore shooting posture is still an unconventional shooting posture, which is even more incredible.
"Damn it, isn't God really possessed by this guy?"
"His dribbling is too good, isn't he?"
Danzi attributed Ye Qingchen's buzzer-beater this time to Ye Qingchen's good luck.
Because in his opinion, such a shooting posture is usually a blind throw, and this hit is just a dribble on Ye Qingchen's side.
From the perspective of overall strength, the Blazers still have the absolute upper hand.
Therefore, in this series, Danzi is still optimistic about the Trail Blazers.
In the first game of the Western Conference finals, a super upset broke out!
Ye Qingchen hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, completed a shocking lore, and led the Lakers to victory in the game!
After this campaign, the big score between the two sides became 1:0!
The Lakers, whom no one is optimistic about, even took the lead in winning the first game.
This result directly slaps all the experts and celebrities in the United States, especially those who publicly said that the Lakers will be swept.
And after the match, when Ye Qingchen was interviewed by reporters, he also replied in a joking tone:
"You should know that many pundits think we will be swept out."
"However, after this game, we avoided the embarrassing situation of being swept away!"
"In this way, they will soon predict that we will lose this series by a big score of 1:4!"
Ye Qingchen's answer directly made all the reporters look weird.
Obviously, Ye Qingchen is mocking those so-called experts who are blind!
This is advanced black!
But I have to say that Ye Qingchen's answer was really a powerful counterattack to those celebrities who were pessimistic about the Lakers.
Moreover, as long as Ye Qingchen's answer is reported, it will definitely cause widespread controversy.
This is the most desired result for media reporters!
For the bookmakers, the result of this game caused them some panic.
Because they predicted that the Lakers would lose, but now it was Ye Qingchen who made the kill, and the Lakers took the lead in winning the first game.
Now, the president of the gaming company began to think of the fear of being dominated by Ye Qingchen again.
Before that, Ye Qingchen had won all the matches that he thought would be an upset.
Now, Ye Qingchen once again led the team to an upset victory over the Trail Blazers.
That would of course make the people in the gaming company feel extremely nervous.
Now, the president of the gaming company even regretted setting the odds of the Lakers advancing to the Finals so high.
After some ideological struggle, the president of the gaming company ordered to adjust the odds for the Lakers to qualify.
1: 5!
Before the start of the game, the odds of the Lakers being able to advance to the Finals were 1:10, but now it has become 1:5.
However, the reduction in odds has no effect on Ye Qingchen and Keith Owens.
After all, they have already completed their betting before the start of the game.
However, even though the Lakers won the first game, the outside world is still not optimistic that the Lakers can qualify.
Even after this game, many experts have strengthened their predictions:
It is impossible for the Lakers to appear in the finals, because the shortcomings of the Lakers are too obvious.
Well-known Lakers sunspot commentator Kenny Smith explained it this way:
第一场比赛,叶砍下了50分18篮板19助攻5抢断6封盖的超级三双数据,他的表现是现象级的。
Therefore, with Ye's explosive performance, the Lakers were able to win the game with difficulty.
However, after this game, the head coach of the Trail Blazers will definitely make a tighter defense against Ye, and they may even have three-team or four-team situations.
With such a defensive intensity, can Ye still get such explosive data?
The answer is obviously no. In the first game, Ye has already exhausted all his potential. I think he will definitely be sluggish in the second game!
For Kenny Smith's remarks, many famous people even agreed.
Because it is true that punishment is based on objective facts.
Because it is inferred from common sense that it is impossible for a player to maintain a super competitive state all the time.
Moreover, after this game, the Blazers' defense against Ye Qingchen will definitely be tighter.
Therefore, it will become more difficult for the Lakers to continue to win the game.
Besides, many people think that the lore that Ye Qingchen contributed in the first game is luck, and it is impossible for him to be so lucky forever!
When Ye Qingchen learned of these remarks, he immediately laughed.
Sure enough, as he expected, these famous experts are all blind.
However, if they don't use such remarks to attract the attention of fans, it seems that they don't have much meaning.
Therefore, Ye Qingchen hoped that these remarks would appear more.
In that case, they will be more happy when the time comes to slap them in the face.
After the Lakers took the lead in winning a game, the Eastern Conference Finals also started their first game.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Chicago Bulls and the Boston Celtics will face each other.
For this game, the outside world is generally optimistic about the Bulls.
After all, the Bulls' regular season record is the best in the league.
And their lineup is quite terrifying.
The backcourt partnership of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen scares every team.
Moreover, in the current Celtics team, except for Lewis who is relatively young, the rest of the main players are already too old.
Especially "Big Bird" Larry Bird, he is already 36 years old.
Compared with the young Chicago Bulls, the Celtics really do not have any advantage.
However, although the outside world is generally optimistic about the Bulls, for Danzi, he dare not take it lightly.
Although Danzi despises the Celtics strategically, he attaches great importance to it tactically.
Especially the "big bird" Larry Bird who likes to pretend but can always pretend to be. His performance in the previous playoffs is also remarkable.
For this Eastern Conference Finals, there are no fewer people paying attention than the Western Conference Finals.
Even Ye Qingchen sat in front of the TV to watch the match.
Of course, Ye Qingchen watched the game with the entire Lakers team.
Before the match, old Dengtou asked Ye Qingchen about his views on this match, and Ye Qingchen's answer made old Dengtou very depressed:
"If you simply ask me what I think about this game, then I have no comment!"
"why?"
"Because there is no lottery!"
"Damn it! My wine cellar will be emptied by you! Are you really going to save some for me?"
"Okay, then don't ask me for my opinion!"
Ye Qingchen's reluctance made old Deng go crazy, because he really didn't seem to have won the bet with Ye Qingchen.
So, this time, Old Deng felt that it would be better to act first!
"Okay, let me bet you that I think the Bulls can win this game?"
When Old Dengtou said these words, Ye Qingchen didn't speak, and looked at Old Dengtou quietly.
Old Deng felt a little flustered when Ye Qingchen looked at him like this:
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I just want to see how thick your skin is!"
"Nonsense, I just expressed my opinion. If you think so, it means that you dare not bet with me now!"
"Look, everyone, look at your head coach, his skin is thicker than the Great Wall of Longguo!"
Ye Qingchen's ridicule caused the other Lakers players to burst into laughter, and the one who laughed the loudest was Keith Owens.
Old Deng was unmoved by the team members' ridicule:
"Anyway, I am optimistic that the Bulls can win. If you bet on me, you can only be optimistic about the Celtics, otherwise you will admit defeat!"
"Okay, this is what you said, then I am optimistic about the Celtics in this game!"
Ye Qingchen's answer made Old Deng feel unbelievable:
"Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true, everyone has heard it. If it's true that the Celtics won, then I can take your good wine!"
"Hahahaha, okay, that's what you said. If I win then, you will return all my good wine!"
"A word is settled!"
"A word is settled!"
So, under the witness of the entire Lakers team, Ye Qingchen and Lao Dengtou completed the bet.
Regarding the bet between Lao Dengtou and Ye Qingchen, almost everyone believed that the head coach Lao Dengtou would win.
After all, the strength of the Bulls is indeed far superior to the Celtics.
However, only Keith Owens chose to believe in Ye Qingchen:
"Although Mike is my coach, I still have more confidence in Ye in terms of betting, so I support Ye!"
For Keith Owens' brainless team, Old Deng didn't take it seriously, because he felt that he was sure to win this wave.
After Ye Qingchen and Lao Dengtou reached a bet against each other, the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals had already begun.
Just judging from the lineups of both sides, the Bulls do have the upper hand.
In the matchup of the backcourt, the Bulls completed the Celtics.
If you look at the inside line, it may be relatively weak.
However, in the case of a small gap inside, the Bulls must have an absolute upper hand.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the Bulls firmly grasped the rhythm of the game, and the duo between Danzi and Pippen transferred the Celtics' defense.
Danzi's touch in this game was quite good, and his mid-range shooting percentage in the first quarter was as high as 80.00%.
Led by Danzi's super high shooting percentage, after the end of the first quarter, the Bulls have secured a double-digit lead.
42: 30!
The Celtics trailed by as many as 12 points in the first quarter!
This result put Lao Deng in a good mood, and he joked to Ye Qingchen with a smile on his face:
"Actually, if you admit defeat at this time, I can consider not having you return all the good wine!"
Regarding Lao Deng's pride, Ye Qingchen smiled slightly and said:
"Don't, I even want to increase the bet, I don't know if you dare?"
Ye Qingchen's words made Lao Dengtou and other Lakers players even more curious:
"You still want to raise the stakes? Don't you see that the Celtics are now behind?"
"Yes, increase the bet. You must know that being behind now does not mean that you will always be behind!"
Ye Qingchen looked at Old Dengtou jokingly and said.
"How do you want to up the ante?"
"I bet you have all the good wine in your cellar!"
Ye Qingchen's self-confidence made Old Deng start to feel a little suspicious.
He didn't know if Ye Qingchen was scaring him or if he really thought that the Celtics had a chance to win this game.
But after comparing the strengths of all aspects, Lao Dengtou really can't see that the Celtics have any chance of winning.
Finally, he began to confirm that Ye Qingchen was deliberately scaring him.
"Okay! Increase the bet, I'll bet with you! If you lose, you will return my good wine twice!"
"no problem!"
Ye Qingchen's straightforwardness made the other Lakers players even more curious.
They really don't know who gave Ye Qingchen the confidence.
He actually took the initiative to increase the bet when the Celtics trailed by 12 points in the first quarter. Isn't this a disguised gift to Lao Dengtou?
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Ye Qingchen was right to do so.
After all, what Old Deng said was Ye Qingchen's head coach, and it seemed like a good choice to return the good wine under such circumstances.
Even, Ye Qingchen took this opportunity to give Lao Deng twice as much good wine, which was enough to give Lao Deng enough face.
If it wasn't because Lao Dengtou only had a son, these Lakers players felt that Ye Qingchen was trying to curry favor with Lao Dengtou and plotted against him.
After raising the stakes again, all members of the Lakers once again focused on this game.
In the second quarter, the Celtics' offense was still tepid. Lewis' touch was not very good, and he was very uncomfortable being defended by Danzi.
Most of the Celtics' points came from inside. Fortunately, Paris and McHale had a good touch and were able to seize many opportunities so that the score would not be further expanded.
In addition, the performance of "Big Bird" Bird can be said to have made no contribution at all.
He only took four shots in the first half and only hit one three-pointer. He was even completely ignored by the Bulls.
Therefore, after the end of the first half, the point difference between the two sides has not narrowed, and the Bulls still maintain a 12-point lead.
70: 58!
For this result, Old Deng was very satisfied. He thought it was a certainty that the Bulls would win the game.
Even so, there was still not much anxiety on Ye Qingchen's face.
This made Old Deng very surprised, he didn't think Ye Qingchen deliberately wanted to lose to him.
Because he knew Ye Qingchen well, he would not take such a risk to do things that he was not sure about.
However, it now appears that the Celtics really can't beat the Bulls!
After the start of the second half, the Celtics' performance began to improve.
The most obvious is that they have become more active on the defensive end.
Danzi could no longer score as easily as in the first half, and the Celtics double-teamed him frantically.
Danzi started to pass the ball in desperation, but Danzi made several mistakes when passing the ball under double-teaming.
The Celtics used these few mistakes to play a fast break, and instantly narrowed the point difference to single digits.
This result made Lao Deng tense up instantly.
He really didn't expect that the Celtics would start to exert their strength in the second half, and their defensive strategy seemed to be very effective!
Even the old Deng didn't notice that "Big Bird" Bird actually only contributed on the defensive end in the third quarter, and his offense still didn't improve much.
In fact, the reason why "Big Bird" Bird's offense has not improved is because he rarely takes shots, and he puts more energy on defense.
When the third quarter ended, the score became 100:94.
The Celtics are only 6 points behind.
This result made Lao Deng start to get nervous!
Ye Qingchen seemed to see Lao Deng's nervousness, he joked with a smile:
"Don't be nervous, the fun has just begun!"
Ye Qingchen's words made Lao Deng's face a little depressed:
"The game is not over yet, the Celtics are still behind!"
But soon, Old Deng was slapped in the face.
As soon as the fourth quarter started, "Big Bird" Bird began to contribute.
He hit an open three-pointer from the outside, sounding the horn of the Celtics' counterattack.
"Big Bird" Bird, who had been playing dead in the first three quarters, was actually saving his energy and using it in the fourth quarter.
Ye Qingchen knew that "Big Bird" Bird was an old silver coin, so he was optimistic that the Celtics would win the first game.
It seems that my guess was right, Bird began to show off!
The Bulls players couldn't restrain the energetic Bird, and watched him keep hitting various three-pointers from the outside.
Danzi was dumbfounded!
Old Deng was dumbfounded!
At the end of the game, it was the Celtics who won!
Another big upset!
Ye Qingchen won old Deng's head again!
This result exceeded everyone's expectations.
