NBA: There is nothing wrong with bringing a ball in a fight!
Chapter 159 The first game of the finals begins!Ye Qingchen staged the ultimate personal heroism!
Chapter 159 The first game of the finals begins!Ye Qingchen staged the ultimate personal heroism!
Danzi is determined to win the championship, because this is his second trip to the finals.
In the last finals, the opponent of the Bulls in the finals was also the Lakers, but the star of the Lakers at that time was Magic Johnson.
And this year the star of the Lakers has become Ye Qingchen, and the lineup has also changed a lot compared to last year.
Some fans even bluntly said that this year's Lakers lineup is not as good as last year's Lakers lineup, because their bench strength is really bad.
Originally, if Divac and James Worthy were not injured, the strength of the Lakers is actually justified.
Of course, there is also a rising star, Keith Owens, who is also very threatening on the outside, but it is a pity that he is also unable to play due to injury.
Therefore, the current Lakers are still a remnant team, and it is indeed quite difficult to defeat the Bulls.
The gap in the lineup, this is one of them.
The gap in the coaching team is also one of the important reasons.
Although Mike Dunleavy can be regarded as a well-known coach in the NBA, compared to Zen Master Jackson, Lao Dengtou's reputation is still not big enough.
Not enough fame is one aspect, the most important thing is that Lao Dengtou's coaching style and level are indeed not as good as Zen master Jackson.
Therefore, no matter which aspect the Lakers compare with the Bulls, they are at an absolute disadvantage.
Because the Chicago Bulls are the team with the first record this season, they even double-killed the Trail Blazers in the regular season.
In other words, the strength of the Bulls is actually far above the Trail Blazers. It is indeed quite difficult for the Lakers to beat the Bulls.
This is an objective factor, a fact that no one can deny.
Even the Lakers players are actually pessimistic about this series.
Among them are Perkins and Campbell, who had dealt with the Bulls last year, and they still clearly remember the horror of Danzi.
Therefore, during the joint training before the finals, these players who participated in the finals last year began to speak out and analyze the strength of the Bulls.
After everyone expressed their feelings, Ye Qingchen came to a conclusion:
The Bulls are invincible, and Danzi is so strong that he can't be defended at all!
Just when Old Deng was about to conclude, Ye Qingchen interrupted him and said first:
"Although the strength of the Bulls is very strong, our team is not weak either!"
"We still have a way to win, as long as you follow my tactics!"
Seeing Ye Qingchen's self-confidence, Old Deng kept rolling his eyes.
He felt that Ye Qingchen was really overconfident now, and he never really faced up to the strength of the Bulls.
However, Old Deng also knew that this was Ye Qingchen's first trip to the finals, and it was a good thing he had such confidence.
Therefore, Old Deng did not veto Ye Qingchen's proposal in the end. After all, Ye Qingchen's tactics still had a certain effect.
As for the Bulls, they also attach great importance to the Lakers.
Especially Danzi, he even watched the video replays of the Western Conference Finals for several days, especially the last moments of the four games.
Because Danzi kept watching and studying Ye Qingchen's game videos, he finally discovered one of Ye Qingchen's characteristics, that is, Ye Qingchen's physical fitness will become more abundant at the end of the game.
This made Danzi realize that Ye Qingchen's physical fitness might really be far superior to everyone else.
He told his head coach Zen Jackson and his personal trainer about this point of view.
Soon, the head coach Zen master Jackson agreed with Danzi's point of view, Ye Qingchen's physical fitness is indeed far beyond the average basketball player.
And Danzi's personal trainer Glover said to Danzi with a solemn face:
"His physical fitness is so sufficient, we must be prepared with both hands!"
"First of all, we need to fully study his technical characteristics, find out his technical shortcomings, and then defend him in a targeted manner!"
"Secondly, assuming that he has unlimited physical energy, then we can't use physical energy to defend him. We must defend him skillfully and use more rules to defend him!"
Glover's words made Danzi and Zen master Jackson agree very much, Ye Qingchen's inexhaustible physical strength was their biggest obstacle.
Therefore, if you want to really prevent Ye Qingchen, you can only start with the rules of basketball.
Defensive skills are very important. Make Ye Qingchen make offensive fouls, or set up traps to make him make mistakes actively, or even start from his emotions, so that he will become emotionally unstable during the game and make him make active mistakes. Next error.
After some discussions, the skills and means of defending Ye Qingchen were slowly summed up.
Danzi finally breathed a sigh of relief. With Ye Qingchen's clear defensive skills and goals, the game will become easier.
Of course, Ye Qingchen's own defensive ability is also very strong, so Danzi decided to use himself as a bait to attract Ye Qingchen's defense, liberate Pippen, and let Pippen become the main scoring point of the Bulls.
Conversely, if Ye Qingchen were to defend Pippen, then Danzi would be the main scorer, and the two of them could replace each other, and this was also the Bulls' biggest reliance.
For this nationally focused finals, the odds offered by the gaming company to both sides were beyond everyone's expectations.
The odds of the Bulls winning the championship are 1:1.1, and the odds of the Lakers winning the championship are 1:1.2.
In other words, the bookmaker is optimistic about the two teams at the same time, and their strengths are not far apart.
For this odds, many fans have lost the idea of betting. After all, even if they win, they will win very little. If they lose, they will really lose their stake.
Therefore, the odds offered by the gaming company this time did not attract many fans to bet, which made many fans lose the idea of gambling.
And when Ye Qingchen and Keith Owens learned of such odds, they both gave up the idea of betting with regret.
Although it is said that if the Lakers really win the championship, they can earn a little bonus, but with such low odds, they don't want to bother.
Moreover, Ye Qingchen, who is now sitting on a billion dollars, has already had the idea of investing.
He knew that if he wanted to get more money, investing was the best way. After all, Ye Qingchen also knew that many industries began to rise during this period.
Of course, he didn't start investing right away. His idea was to make good use of the offseason after winning the championship, sign his own endorsement contract, and then start his investment.
Time flies, and the day before the finals, all members of the Lakers have arrived in Chicago.
The team also came with the Lakers owner Jerry Buss and general manager Jerry West, and even the famous Lakers Magic Johnson also arrived in Chicago.
Although the Lakers are indeed inferior to the Bulls in terms of strength, they still hope for a miracle.
After all, Ye Qingchen is a player who is good at creating miracles. Before the Western Conference Finals, no one was optimistic about the Lakers. Didn't the Lakers still sweep the Trail Blazers and enter the Finals?
Therefore, although they find it difficult, they all hope that the Lakers can go all out and continue to create miracles.
The Lakers, who arrived in Chicago one day earlier, took time to practice together before the game. Old Deng's expression was quite serious.
Lao Dengtou repeatedly emphasized that he must pay attention to defense during the game and be optimistic about his defenders, especially the defense against Danzi and Pippen.
And Lao Dengtou's defensive strategy is zone defense, because in his opinion, the impact of Danzi and Pippen is too strong.
If it is man-to-man, no one can really limit their performance.
To this, Ye Qingchen did not express any objection, he just emphasized one point, that is to protect the defensive rebound, this is the most critical point.
Judging from Ye Qingchen's face, he seemed to be full of confidence in this match, and he didn't seem to be nervous at all.
Ye Qingchen's calmness made the Lakers players quite admire, even the veteran Perkins said to Ye Qingchen with emotion on his face:
"Hey, Ye, you don't seem nervous at all? This is the finals!"
"What's there to be nervous about? It's not like we haven't won against them, isn't it the Bulls?"
Ye Qingchen's answer made Perkins stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Ye Qingchen to answer like this.
But Ye Qingchen was right. The Lakers really beat the Bulls once in the regular season. At that time, Ye Qingchen hadn't been suspended, and Ye Qingchen was really locked in that game. Danzi.
Looking back now, Perkins really started to feel less nervous.
Because the Lakers have really created countless miracles along the way, it is possible to continue to create miracles!
Therefore, during this pre-match practice, many Lakers players began to calm down, because they were infected by Ye Qingchen's emotions.
The players of the Lakers began to look forward to the start of the finals!
The day flies by!
On June 6, local time in the United States, the first game of the 3-1991 NBA Finals officially started!
The game was first played at the Bulls' home stadium, the United Center.
When the Lakers players appeared on the court from the player tunnel, there was boos all over the scene instantly, and various abuses came and went.
This is the treatment of away games, what every home fan will do.
It's just that their booing didn't seem to have any impact on the Lakers players at all.
Especially Ye Qingchen, he even put his right hand next to his ear, indicating that the noise at the scene was louder.
The camera was also aimed at Ye Qingchen for the first time. After seeing Ye Qingchen's action, the Bulls fans all raised their middle fingers at him and booed even louder.
When Ye Qingchen heard the louder boos, he also nodded in satisfaction, and also made a provocative gesture towards the Bulls fans at the scene.
This time, Ye Qingchen really and completely mobilized the emotions of the Bulls fans.
Even the commentator at the scene joked with a smile on his face:
"Ye is really a fearless player. He even provoked the fans before the game even started!"
"In this way, he will definitely hear the loudest boos and curses in the United States in this game!"
"But I believe that none of these should affect his performance!"
After the commentator finished teasing, Danzi's exclusive BGM "Sirius" sounded at the Bulls' home court.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the passionate announcement of the Bulls' home DJ:
"Now the starting lineup for the Chicago Bulls:"
"Number 54 - Cobra Grant!"
"From Central Arkansas, 6'7 forward, No. 33 - Scottie Pippen!"
"From California, number 24 - Bill Cartwright!"
"From Dayton, Ohio, No. 5 - John Paxson!"
"6'6 guard from North Carolina, number 23 - Michael Jordan!"
"The head coach of the Bulls - Phil Jackson!"
Accompanied by the announcement of the Bulls DJ, the starting players of the Bulls appeared one by one.
The Bulls fans at the scene had already stood up, applauded non-stop, and cheered loudly.
Ye Qingchen at the side was listening to the Bulls DJ's broadcast, and was also filled with emotion:
"Combined with Danzi's exclusive BGM and this passionate DJ, it will be very difficult for the Bulls to lose!"
"Looks like I'm going to challenge it!"
At the same time, all the lights on the scene finally turned on, and everyone's eyes were focused on the basketball court.
Compared with the broadcast of the Bulls' starters, the Lakers' starters are much simpler when they come out.
The starting lineup for the Lakers is:
Ye Qingchen, Byron Scott, Saidal Straiter, Elden Campbell, Sam Perkins.
Players on both sides were warming up for shooting in their respective halfs. It seemed that Ye Qingchen and Danzi looked at each other at the same time.
After the two looked at each other, they quickly moved away.
Danzi saw confidence from Ye Qingchen's smile, and Ye Qingchen saw caution from Danzi's eyes.
This made Ye Qingchen more interested in this game.
Because everyone knows that Danzi is a player who gets stronger when he meets the strong, especially when he broke into the finals for the first time last year, he was able to lead the team to defeat the Lakers and win the championship. There is no doubt about it.
Now is Danzi's second trip to the finals. I believe he will definitely show his strength without reservation and strive for the championship this time.
And Ye Qingchen is also determined to win this championship, because after he wins this championship, there will be a qualitative improvement in his worth.
On the basketball court, Ye Qingchen has never been a soft-hearted person. If he can fight for it, he will definitely try his best to fight for it.
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded at this time, and the game officially began!
The starting players of both sides appeared in the center of the court, and the jump balls were Campbell and Cartwright.
Cartwright is 16 meters tall, so he easily allocated the ball to Paxson.
The Bulls get the first offensive ball!
After Paxson received the ball, he slowly dribbled the ball across half court.
The Lakers' opening defensive strategy is a three-two defense.
There are only two inside defenders on the inside, namely Perkins and Campbell.
Ye Qingchen defended directly in the center, with Sritter and Scott on the other sides.
The purpose of this defense is to limit the Bulls' breakthrough and prevent them from easily breaking through to the inside to score.
Paxson held the ball at the top of the arc, watching the Lakers' defense and looking for open teammates.
At this moment, Danzi came out from a 45-degree angle on the left, and Paxson passed the ball into his hands.
After catching the ball, Danzi faced Straite's defense, while Ye Qingchen in the middle focused on Danzi.
Danzi, who received the ball, did not dribble the ball immediately. He held the ball with both hands on his waist, and began to observe the defensive position of the Lakers.
From the corner of Danzi's eyes, he noticed that Ye Qingchen in the center was staring at him, so he knew that he couldn't dribble to the left to break through.
The only way to move is on the right side.
So, Danzi called Cartwright's pick-and-roll screen!
With Cartwright's screen, Danzi dribbled to the left corner.
Straiter's defense couldn't keep up for a while, and Danzi just shot a mid-range jumper from the bottom corner and hit it hollow!
2: 0!
The Bulls took the lead in scoring the first blood!
The Bulls fans at the scene immediately cheered loudly.
Even the commentator at the scene said with emotion:
"The Bulls' offense is very structured, and they seem to have thoroughly studied the Lakers' defensive strategy!"
"The Lakers' zone defense doesn't seem to be able to limit Michael's performance at all!"
The Lakers general manager Jerry West, who was watching the game on the spot, also nodded helplessly in agreement:
"The Bulls' offense is indeed quite difficult to defend, and their mid-range poses a huge threat."
"Yeah, our team's defense is already very weak, and their mid-range is still very accurate, we will be in a lot of trouble now!"
Magic Johnson sitting on the side also nodded in agreement.
After hearing what the two said, Jeribas' expression became helpless:
"I understand what you said, but the current situation is that this is an objective situation, we cannot change it, we can only rely on the head coach's improvisation."
Seeing that the team owner was anxious, Magic Johnson replied with a smile:
"Boss, although we can't defend well, we have leaves on the offensive end. We can still look forward to it!"
Magic Johnson's words made Jerry Buss nod constantly:
"Yes, he is very good at creating miracles, let us look forward to his performance!"
At this time, Scott of the Lakers has already dribbled the ball across half court.
The Bulls' defense is man-to-man, and the player defending Ye Qingchen is Scottie Pippen.
The way he defended was not close defense, but just following Ye Qingchen's side.
When Ye Qingchen stepped forward to catch the ball, he would stick it up to defend Ye Qingchen.
The other players of the Bulls focused all their attention on Ye Qingchen, and some even slowly moved towards Ye Qingchen.
The defensive strategy of the Bulls is between double-teaming and non-teaming.
If they saw Ye Qingchen passing the ball to a teammate, they would immediately return to their defensive position and resume their original defense.
I have to say that when Ye Qingchen noticed the Bulls' defense, he was also very emotional.
Zen Master Jackson deserves to be Zen Master Jackson. His research on the Lakers is indeed quite in-depth.
In particular, Ye Qingchen had already exposed all his hole cards in the Western Conference Finals, so the Bulls could really defend against his technical characteristics.
Therefore, the dilemma Ye Qingchen is facing at this time is whether to pass the ball or not to pass the ball.
If he rushes to the basket with his head down, there will be two results. One is that he is fouled by the Bulls players, and the other is that his impact is directly slapped out.
In desperation, Ye Qingchen had no choice but to dribble the ball back to the top of the arc, and at this time the attack time was running out.
Seeing Ye Qingchen dribbled the ball back to the top of the arc, the head coach of the Bulls on the sidelines had a satisfied smile on his face.
He knew that his defensive strategy had worked, Ye Qingchen had no way to take advantage of the Bulls inside.
Therefore, Ye Qingchen has only one choice now, and that is to seek opportunities to make shots from the outside.
Although Ye Qingchen's three-point shooting rate is very high, Pippen is now firmly stuck in front of Ye Qingchen, making it clear that Ye Qingchen will not have the opportunity to make an easy shot.
However, for the Bulls' defensive strategy, Ye Qingchen still has his countermeasures.
Ye Qingchen made a gesture to his teammates on the inside, signaling them to step forward to cover him.
So, Perkins and Campbell came to the upline at the same time, and they wanted to cover Ye Qingchen!
Pippen had also heard a little about the elevator door tactic of the Lakers, so he wanted to grab a position in advance to prevent Ye Qingchen from having room to make a move.
But the tactics of the elevator door were not something he could easily crack if he wanted to.
Ye Qingchen passed the ball to Scott at the same time, and quickly passed between Perkins and Campbell!
Pippen followed Ye Qingchen tightly!
Little did they know that Ye Qingchen suddenly turned back his carbine, and turned back to the wall formed by Perkins and Campbell again!
At the same time, the gap between Campbell and Perkins closed instantly!
Pippen was blocked behind the two!
Ye Qingchen has a neutral opportunity!
There are only two seconds left in the attack time!
Scott passed the ball back to Ye Qingchen's hands!
After Ye Qingchen caught the ball, he made a decisive jump shot!
"Shh!"
Basketball hollow into the net!
Attack time just ran out!
2: 3!
After Ye Qingchen tried to run for a while, he finally hit a difficult three-pointer!
Seeing that Ye Qingchen was able to hit under such strict defense, Danzi also showed a helpless expression on his face.
The most depressing one is Pippen, because he really did the best he can.
It's a pity that Ye Qingchen still used the cover of his teammates to complete the shot!
However, Zen Master Jackson was quite satisfied with Pippen's defense this time, and he even shouted to Pippen from the sidelines:
"Scottie, you defended well, that's how you defend!"
After getting the head coach's approval, Pippen finally felt a little more comfortable.
Looking back, the Bulls' offense was still initiated from Danzi's side.
When Danzi was holding the ball at the top of the arc, the defender he was facing was Ye Qingchen.
After he dribbled continuously under the crotch, he chose to hit Ye Qingchen with his back single, but his back hit didn't get much closer.
After all, Ye Qingchen's power is quite terrifying!
After dribbling with his back several times in a row, Danzi suddenly turned around to collect the ball and made a shooting motion!
Ye Qingchen had been paying attention to Danzi's movements all the time, he hurriedly stepped forward to prevent Danzi from having room to make a move.
Little did he know that Danzi didn't want to shoot himself this time, but passed the ball to Pippen by attracting Ye Qingchen's defense.
At this time, Pippen had already run out of neutral through the cover of his teammates, and received a pass from Danzi at the elbow on the right and easily hit a jumper!
4: 3!
The duo between Danzi and Pippen easily tore apart the Lakers' defense.
After Danzi assisted Pippen to score, he smiled and said to Ye Qingchen:
"I know you are very strong, but you can't beat us with two fists, you have no chance of defeating us!"
Facing Danzi's provocation of trash talking, Ye Qingchen responded with a look of disdain:
"That's it?"
"The game has just started, are you so confident?"
"Then you have to sharpen your eyes to see what real strength is!"
Regarding Ye Qingchen's response, Danzi didn't take it seriously at all.
The Lakers' lineup is destined to have big loopholes on the defensive end. They only need to seize the Lakers' defensive loopholes to attack, and they can easily score.
As long as there is no problem with the offense, then he has the confidence to easily defeat the Lakers.
It's the Lakers' turn to attack again.
Now the only thing the Lakers can count on is Ye Qingchen.
When Streiter dribbled the ball past the half court, he immediately passed the ball to Ye Qingchen's hands.
The Bulls players didn't limit Ye Qingchen's catch at all. Their idea now is to let Ye Qingchen hold the ball and find a way to cut off the connection between Ye Qingchen and his teammates. Doesn't pose much of a threat.
Ye Qingchen had a thorough understanding of the Bulls' defensive strategy, and he even thought of the battle of riding bravery more than 20 years later.
In the Cavaliers at that time, James was the only one who really had absolute strength, while the Warriors had three or four scoring points.
Therefore, the Cavaliers' defense is also in huge trouble.
Ye Qingchen clearly remembered that the strategy of the Cavaliers to defend against the Warriors was to switch defenses infinitely, trying to prevent the Warriors players from attacking in this way.
But it turns out that such a defensive strategy is not feasible, and the Cavaliers simply cannot prevent the Warriors' offense.
Therefore, in the end, the Cavaliers still could not cross the mountain of the five-star warriors.
Even James, who was at his peak in 18 years, was swept out by the Warriors.
However, at that time, the Cavaliers actually had a great chance to win the first game, if it wasn't for jr's sudden short-circuit.
In the first game of the finals that year, James scored 51 points alone, almost leading the team to overthrow the Warriors.
The offensive strategy used by the Cavaliers at that time was the roll call tactic, with James holding the ball, and then letting the player Curry defended come up to pick and roll him, and then switch to single-play Curry.
After the defense is successfully switched, it becomes James singles against Curry. Isn't this a matchup that can easily crush and score points casually?
Therefore, the tactic Ye Qingchen wants to use now is the roll call tactic.
Among the five players on the Bulls today, John Paxson is the weakest link in defense.
John Paxson is only 1.8 meters five and weighs only 84 kilograms.
He stood in front of Ye Qingchen, like a primary school student standing in front of a college student.
Therefore, as long as Paxson can defend Ye Qingchen, then Ye Qingchen can guarantee a super high hit rate.
Ye Qingchen, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc at the moment, made a gesture towards Straiter, signaling him to come over and cover himself!
Although Streiter didn't understand why Ye Qingchen asked him to go to cover, but he immediately came to Ye Qingchen to cover for him.
Seeing that Streiter went to cover for Ye Qingchen, of course Paxson also followed.
At first, even the Bulls players couldn't understand Ye Qingchen's operation.
But when Ye Qingchen and Streiter's pick-and-roll formed a switch, they finally came to their senses.
Paxson appeared in front of Ye Qingchen, while Pippen switched to defend Sritter.
This is already a dislocation!
The moment the dislocation was formed, Ye Qingchen dribbled the ball and pushed Paxson away forcibly, and came to the vicinity of the three-second zone.
Seeing Ye Qingchen break through easily, both Cartwright and Grant appeared in front of Ye Qingchen at the same time, trying to block Ye Qingchen's attack this time!
Ye Qingchen noticed that the two people were standing outside the small circle, obviously wanting to cause their own offensive foul.
Therefore, Ye Qingchen chose the simplest attack method, a small throw, and easily scored two points!
4: 5!
Seeing Ye Qingchen score easily again, the Bulls fans at the scene felt extremely depressed.
Ye Qingchen's offensive ability exceeded their expectations, and he was able to find Paxson's breakthrough, which really caught the Bulls' defense by surprise.
The commentator at the scene also commented with emotion at the moment:
"Ye's offense this time is quite clever. He knew that John's defense was not good, so he specially asked Saidal to come over to cover him. After the defense was changed, it became a misplacement!"
"This is the observation ability of the court, his insight is really terrible!"
"His head has always been sober, which is actually very difficult to do!"
"This kind of overall situation will cause great trouble to the Bulls' defense!"
The commentator's explanation was in place, making Jerry West in the audience nod frequently.
"Our defense does have big loopholes, but Ye's offense can make up for our deficiencies in defense!"
"So, we still have a chance in this game!"
Seeing Jerry West so confident, Jerry Buss also showed a little smile on his face:
"Indeed, if you hadn't tried your best to trade him over at the beginning, our Lakers wouldn't have been able to appear on the stage of the Finals!"
Magic Johnson silently nodded in agreement with Jerry Buss' words.
Indeed, if Ye Qingchen had retreated in the face of difficulties due to his own test, then the Lakers might not be able to reach the current stage.
Now it seems that in terms of vision, he is indeed not as sophisticated as Jerry West.
After hearing their remarks, Jerry West didn't have any joy on the surface, but he was already secretly happy in his heart.
In fact, even Jerry West didn't expect Ye Qingchen to have such great potential.
His original idea was actually to find a powerful defensive champion for Magic Johnson to share the pressure for Magic Johnson on the defensive end.
But he never expected that he would find such a big leak.
So, the next thing is a matter of course.
Just when the three of them were full of emotion, the two teams on the field had already started a battle.
The duo formed by Danzi and Pippen on the Bulls side, the Lakers simply couldn't guard against it.
And Ye Qingchen's roll call tactics also made the Bulls' defense very tight.
Because Ye Qingchen's roll call tactics were not only aimed at one Paxson, he could even target any defensive player of the Bulls.
Because at the moment when the pick-and-roll tactics were formed, Ye Qingchen was able to use this short time difference to quickly dribble to the three-point line.
Once the Bulls players wanted to flank Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen would pass the ball to his teammates through his wide vision.
And if after the pick-and-roll, if the Bulls players don't flank Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen will go straight to Huanglong and score an easy layup.
In short, the Bulls couldn't defend Ye Qingchen with the defense that flanked Ye Qingchen, because Ye Qingchen's reaction ability was too fast, they didn't even have time to flank Ye Qingchen, he had already The ball is passed.
Therefore, the first quarter formed a confrontational situation, and neither side could do anything to the other.
By the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides came to 40:35.
The Bulls are just 5 points ahead of the Lakers.
But Ye Qingchen scored as many as 25 points in a single quarter, and the rest of the players only scored 10 points.
It can be said that Ye Qingchen was completely in a state of rampage in the first quarter.
The commentator at the scene also exclaimed:
"Ye's performance in the first quarter was just like Michael's performance in the fourth game of the Eastern Conference finals, like a god descending from the earth!"
"It seems that the suspense of this game will continue!"
"However, Ye, who has already played a full game in the first quarter, can he continue this state until the end of the game?"
The question raised by the commentator is actually the question that Lakers fans are most concerned about.
Ye Qingchen's performance in the first quarter was indeed impeccable, but can he really continue in such a good state?
Moreover, in the first quarter of the game, the Bulls actually let Ye Qingchen play one-on-one. They haven't really resolutely double-teamed Ye Qingchen.
Therefore, whether Ye Qingchen can continue to perform explosively in the next game is really a question mark.
During the break between festivals, Zen Master Jackson gave the Bulls players the same tactical explanation:
"In the second quarter, we continued to defend like this!"
"It doesn't matter if Ye scores, but you can't let him form a connection with his teammates!"
"On the offensive end, we also maintain the current offensive strategy, trying not to shoot in front of Ye!"
"If this continues, the other Lakers players will fall into the vicious circle of watching Ye Qingchen play alone!"
"It's not a good thing for the Lakers, but it's a great thing for us!"
Zen Master Jackson's explanation made the Bulls players suddenly see the light.
After Danzi and Pippen looked at each other, they both saw determination in each other's eyes.
In this game, the two of them complemented each other, assisting each other to score, and there was a sense of tacit understanding that had not been seen for a long time.
Zen Master Jackson is right, if the game continues like this, the final victory must belong to them.
Therefore, the rhythm of this game is still in the hands of the Bulls.
As for the Lakers, apart from Ye Qingchen, including Lao Dengtou, they are all very satisfied with the current result.
They thought trailing by five points in the first quarter was already a good result.
Only Ye Qingchen couldn't see any relaxed expression on his face, which made Lao Deng puzzled:
"Hey, Ye, why do you still look very anxious?"
"You know, your performance is good enough!"
"You scored as many as 25 points in a single quarter!"
Old Deng's words got the approval of other Lakers players, and they all congratulated Ye Qingchen.
But Ye Qingchen asked back:
"Is it a lot for me to score 25 points?"
"Then how many assists do I have?"
Ye Qingchen's question made Old Deng stunned for a moment, he really didn't pay attention to Ye Qingchen's assist count.
"It's 3!"
"I only got 3 assists in a single quarter, which shows that the connection between me and my teammates has been cut!"
"This was done on purpose by the Bulls. They wanted me to score alone and not allow other players to score!"
"This is not a good result!"
Ye Qingchen's words made Lao Dengtou finally come to his senses, and an embarrassing expression appeared on his face instantly.
Because from the beginning, he didn't have great expectations for this game, and even he thought it was almost impossible for the Lakers to beat the Bulls.
Therefore, when the Lakers were only five points behind at the end of the first quarter, Old Deng had preconceived that the Lakers performed very well.
But when Ye Qingchen pointed out the key problem, he realized that the Lakers are actually in great crisis now.
If the connection problem between Ye Qingchen and his teammates could not be resolved, then the final result of this match would be a loss.
Even if Ye Qingchen's state can last until the end of the game, Ye Qingchen can even score 60+ or even 70+ personal points, but in front of all the Bulls scoring, no matter how good Ye Qingchen's personal performance is Unable to lead the team to victory!
After hearing Ye Qingchen's words, the rest of the players also fell silent.
Because they can't think of any effective countermeasures at all, it seems that this is an unsolvable problem!
And Ye Qingchen also fell into thinking.
For the time being, Ye Qingchen really couldn't find a good solution.
If you say that you play without the ball, you still need to run non-stop to catch the ball and attack, which can't solve the practical problem at all.
At this time, the sound of the start of the second quarter of the game sounded, and the game continued.
Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a subscription!
(End of this chapter)
Danzi is determined to win the championship, because this is his second trip to the finals.
In the last finals, the opponent of the Bulls in the finals was also the Lakers, but the star of the Lakers at that time was Magic Johnson.
And this year the star of the Lakers has become Ye Qingchen, and the lineup has also changed a lot compared to last year.
Some fans even bluntly said that this year's Lakers lineup is not as good as last year's Lakers lineup, because their bench strength is really bad.
Originally, if Divac and James Worthy were not injured, the strength of the Lakers is actually justified.
Of course, there is also a rising star, Keith Owens, who is also very threatening on the outside, but it is a pity that he is also unable to play due to injury.
Therefore, the current Lakers are still a remnant team, and it is indeed quite difficult to defeat the Bulls.
The gap in the lineup, this is one of them.
The gap in the coaching team is also one of the important reasons.
Although Mike Dunleavy can be regarded as a well-known coach in the NBA, compared to Zen Master Jackson, Lao Dengtou's reputation is still not big enough.
Not enough fame is one aspect, the most important thing is that Lao Dengtou's coaching style and level are indeed not as good as Zen master Jackson.
Therefore, no matter which aspect the Lakers compare with the Bulls, they are at an absolute disadvantage.
Because the Chicago Bulls are the team with the first record this season, they even double-killed the Trail Blazers in the regular season.
In other words, the strength of the Bulls is actually far above the Trail Blazers. It is indeed quite difficult for the Lakers to beat the Bulls.
This is an objective factor, a fact that no one can deny.
Even the Lakers players are actually pessimistic about this series.
Among them are Perkins and Campbell, who had dealt with the Bulls last year, and they still clearly remember the horror of Danzi.
Therefore, during the joint training before the finals, these players who participated in the finals last year began to speak out and analyze the strength of the Bulls.
After everyone expressed their feelings, Ye Qingchen came to a conclusion:
The Bulls are invincible, and Danzi is so strong that he can't be defended at all!
Just when Old Deng was about to conclude, Ye Qingchen interrupted him and said first:
"Although the strength of the Bulls is very strong, our team is not weak either!"
"We still have a way to win, as long as you follow my tactics!"
Seeing Ye Qingchen's self-confidence, Old Deng kept rolling his eyes.
He felt that Ye Qingchen was really overconfident now, and he never really faced up to the strength of the Bulls.
However, Old Deng also knew that this was Ye Qingchen's first trip to the finals, and it was a good thing he had such confidence.
Therefore, Old Deng did not veto Ye Qingchen's proposal in the end. After all, Ye Qingchen's tactics still had a certain effect.
As for the Bulls, they also attach great importance to the Lakers.
Especially Danzi, he even watched the video replays of the Western Conference Finals for several days, especially the last moments of the four games.
Because Danzi kept watching and studying Ye Qingchen's game videos, he finally discovered one of Ye Qingchen's characteristics, that is, Ye Qingchen's physical fitness will become more abundant at the end of the game.
This made Danzi realize that Ye Qingchen's physical fitness might really be far superior to everyone else.
He told his head coach Zen Jackson and his personal trainer about this point of view.
Soon, the head coach Zen master Jackson agreed with Danzi's point of view, Ye Qingchen's physical fitness is indeed far beyond the average basketball player.
And Danzi's personal trainer Glover said to Danzi with a solemn face:
"His physical fitness is so sufficient, we must be prepared with both hands!"
"First of all, we need to fully study his technical characteristics, find out his technical shortcomings, and then defend him in a targeted manner!"
"Secondly, assuming that he has unlimited physical energy, then we can't use physical energy to defend him. We must defend him skillfully and use more rules to defend him!"
Glover's words made Danzi and Zen master Jackson agree very much, Ye Qingchen's inexhaustible physical strength was their biggest obstacle.
Therefore, if you want to really prevent Ye Qingchen, you can only start with the rules of basketball.
Defensive skills are very important. Make Ye Qingchen make offensive fouls, or set up traps to make him make mistakes actively, or even start from his emotions, so that he will become emotionally unstable during the game and make him make active mistakes. Next error.
After some discussions, the skills and means of defending Ye Qingchen were slowly summed up.
Danzi finally breathed a sigh of relief. With Ye Qingchen's clear defensive skills and goals, the game will become easier.
Of course, Ye Qingchen's own defensive ability is also very strong, so Danzi decided to use himself as a bait to attract Ye Qingchen's defense, liberate Pippen, and let Pippen become the main scoring point of the Bulls.
Conversely, if Ye Qingchen were to defend Pippen, then Danzi would be the main scorer, and the two of them could replace each other, and this was also the Bulls' biggest reliance.
For this nationally focused finals, the odds offered by the gaming company to both sides were beyond everyone's expectations.
The odds of the Bulls winning the championship are 1:1.1, and the odds of the Lakers winning the championship are 1:1.2.
In other words, the bookmaker is optimistic about the two teams at the same time, and their strengths are not far apart.
For this odds, many fans have lost the idea of betting. After all, even if they win, they will win very little. If they lose, they will really lose their stake.
Therefore, the odds offered by the gaming company this time did not attract many fans to bet, which made many fans lose the idea of gambling.
And when Ye Qingchen and Keith Owens learned of such odds, they both gave up the idea of betting with regret.
Although it is said that if the Lakers really win the championship, they can earn a little bonus, but with such low odds, they don't want to bother.
Moreover, Ye Qingchen, who is now sitting on a billion dollars, has already had the idea of investing.
He knew that if he wanted to get more money, investing was the best way. After all, Ye Qingchen also knew that many industries began to rise during this period.
Of course, he didn't start investing right away. His idea was to make good use of the offseason after winning the championship, sign his own endorsement contract, and then start his investment.
Time flies, and the day before the finals, all members of the Lakers have arrived in Chicago.
The team also came with the Lakers owner Jerry Buss and general manager Jerry West, and even the famous Lakers Magic Johnson also arrived in Chicago.
Although the Lakers are indeed inferior to the Bulls in terms of strength, they still hope for a miracle.
After all, Ye Qingchen is a player who is good at creating miracles. Before the Western Conference Finals, no one was optimistic about the Lakers. Didn't the Lakers still sweep the Trail Blazers and enter the Finals?
Therefore, although they find it difficult, they all hope that the Lakers can go all out and continue to create miracles.
The Lakers, who arrived in Chicago one day earlier, took time to practice together before the game. Old Deng's expression was quite serious.
Lao Dengtou repeatedly emphasized that he must pay attention to defense during the game and be optimistic about his defenders, especially the defense against Danzi and Pippen.
And Lao Dengtou's defensive strategy is zone defense, because in his opinion, the impact of Danzi and Pippen is too strong.
If it is man-to-man, no one can really limit their performance.
To this, Ye Qingchen did not express any objection, he just emphasized one point, that is to protect the defensive rebound, this is the most critical point.
Judging from Ye Qingchen's face, he seemed to be full of confidence in this match, and he didn't seem to be nervous at all.
Ye Qingchen's calmness made the Lakers players quite admire, even the veteran Perkins said to Ye Qingchen with emotion on his face:
"Hey, Ye, you don't seem nervous at all? This is the finals!"
"What's there to be nervous about? It's not like we haven't won against them, isn't it the Bulls?"
Ye Qingchen's answer made Perkins stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Ye Qingchen to answer like this.
But Ye Qingchen was right. The Lakers really beat the Bulls once in the regular season. At that time, Ye Qingchen hadn't been suspended, and Ye Qingchen was really locked in that game. Danzi.
Looking back now, Perkins really started to feel less nervous.
Because the Lakers have really created countless miracles along the way, it is possible to continue to create miracles!
Therefore, during this pre-match practice, many Lakers players began to calm down, because they were infected by Ye Qingchen's emotions.
The players of the Lakers began to look forward to the start of the finals!
The day flies by!
On June 6, local time in the United States, the first game of the 3-1991 NBA Finals officially started!
The game was first played at the Bulls' home stadium, the United Center.
When the Lakers players appeared on the court from the player tunnel, there was boos all over the scene instantly, and various abuses came and went.
This is the treatment of away games, what every home fan will do.
It's just that their booing didn't seem to have any impact on the Lakers players at all.
Especially Ye Qingchen, he even put his right hand next to his ear, indicating that the noise at the scene was louder.
The camera was also aimed at Ye Qingchen for the first time. After seeing Ye Qingchen's action, the Bulls fans all raised their middle fingers at him and booed even louder.
When Ye Qingchen heard the louder boos, he also nodded in satisfaction, and also made a provocative gesture towards the Bulls fans at the scene.
This time, Ye Qingchen really and completely mobilized the emotions of the Bulls fans.
Even the commentator at the scene joked with a smile on his face:
"Ye is really a fearless player. He even provoked the fans before the game even started!"
"In this way, he will definitely hear the loudest boos and curses in the United States in this game!"
"But I believe that none of these should affect his performance!"
After the commentator finished teasing, Danzi's exclusive BGM "Sirius" sounded at the Bulls' home court.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the passionate announcement of the Bulls' home DJ:
"Now the starting lineup for the Chicago Bulls:"
"Number 54 - Cobra Grant!"
"From Central Arkansas, 6'7 forward, No. 33 - Scottie Pippen!"
"From California, number 24 - Bill Cartwright!"
"From Dayton, Ohio, No. 5 - John Paxson!"
"6'6 guard from North Carolina, number 23 - Michael Jordan!"
"The head coach of the Bulls - Phil Jackson!"
Accompanied by the announcement of the Bulls DJ, the starting players of the Bulls appeared one by one.
The Bulls fans at the scene had already stood up, applauded non-stop, and cheered loudly.
Ye Qingchen at the side was listening to the Bulls DJ's broadcast, and was also filled with emotion:
"Combined with Danzi's exclusive BGM and this passionate DJ, it will be very difficult for the Bulls to lose!"
"Looks like I'm going to challenge it!"
At the same time, all the lights on the scene finally turned on, and everyone's eyes were focused on the basketball court.
Compared with the broadcast of the Bulls' starters, the Lakers' starters are much simpler when they come out.
The starting lineup for the Lakers is:
Ye Qingchen, Byron Scott, Saidal Straiter, Elden Campbell, Sam Perkins.
Players on both sides were warming up for shooting in their respective halfs. It seemed that Ye Qingchen and Danzi looked at each other at the same time.
After the two looked at each other, they quickly moved away.
Danzi saw confidence from Ye Qingchen's smile, and Ye Qingchen saw caution from Danzi's eyes.
This made Ye Qingchen more interested in this game.
Because everyone knows that Danzi is a player who gets stronger when he meets the strong, especially when he broke into the finals for the first time last year, he was able to lead the team to defeat the Lakers and win the championship. There is no doubt about it.
Now is Danzi's second trip to the finals. I believe he will definitely show his strength without reservation and strive for the championship this time.
And Ye Qingchen is also determined to win this championship, because after he wins this championship, there will be a qualitative improvement in his worth.
On the basketball court, Ye Qingchen has never been a soft-hearted person. If he can fight for it, he will definitely try his best to fight for it.
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded at this time, and the game officially began!
The starting players of both sides appeared in the center of the court, and the jump balls were Campbell and Cartwright.
Cartwright is 16 meters tall, so he easily allocated the ball to Paxson.
The Bulls get the first offensive ball!
After Paxson received the ball, he slowly dribbled the ball across half court.
The Lakers' opening defensive strategy is a three-two defense.
There are only two inside defenders on the inside, namely Perkins and Campbell.
Ye Qingchen defended directly in the center, with Sritter and Scott on the other sides.
The purpose of this defense is to limit the Bulls' breakthrough and prevent them from easily breaking through to the inside to score.
Paxson held the ball at the top of the arc, watching the Lakers' defense and looking for open teammates.
At this moment, Danzi came out from a 45-degree angle on the left, and Paxson passed the ball into his hands.
After catching the ball, Danzi faced Straite's defense, while Ye Qingchen in the middle focused on Danzi.
Danzi, who received the ball, did not dribble the ball immediately. He held the ball with both hands on his waist, and began to observe the defensive position of the Lakers.
From the corner of Danzi's eyes, he noticed that Ye Qingchen in the center was staring at him, so he knew that he couldn't dribble to the left to break through.
The only way to move is on the right side.
So, Danzi called Cartwright's pick-and-roll screen!
With Cartwright's screen, Danzi dribbled to the left corner.
Straiter's defense couldn't keep up for a while, and Danzi just shot a mid-range jumper from the bottom corner and hit it hollow!
2: 0!
The Bulls took the lead in scoring the first blood!
The Bulls fans at the scene immediately cheered loudly.
Even the commentator at the scene said with emotion:
"The Bulls' offense is very structured, and they seem to have thoroughly studied the Lakers' defensive strategy!"
"The Lakers' zone defense doesn't seem to be able to limit Michael's performance at all!"
The Lakers general manager Jerry West, who was watching the game on the spot, also nodded helplessly in agreement:
"The Bulls' offense is indeed quite difficult to defend, and their mid-range poses a huge threat."
"Yeah, our team's defense is already very weak, and their mid-range is still very accurate, we will be in a lot of trouble now!"
Magic Johnson sitting on the side also nodded in agreement.
After hearing what the two said, Jeribas' expression became helpless:
"I understand what you said, but the current situation is that this is an objective situation, we cannot change it, we can only rely on the head coach's improvisation."
Seeing that the team owner was anxious, Magic Johnson replied with a smile:
"Boss, although we can't defend well, we have leaves on the offensive end. We can still look forward to it!"
Magic Johnson's words made Jerry Buss nod constantly:
"Yes, he is very good at creating miracles, let us look forward to his performance!"
At this time, Scott of the Lakers has already dribbled the ball across half court.
The Bulls' defense is man-to-man, and the player defending Ye Qingchen is Scottie Pippen.
The way he defended was not close defense, but just following Ye Qingchen's side.
When Ye Qingchen stepped forward to catch the ball, he would stick it up to defend Ye Qingchen.
The other players of the Bulls focused all their attention on Ye Qingchen, and some even slowly moved towards Ye Qingchen.
The defensive strategy of the Bulls is between double-teaming and non-teaming.
If they saw Ye Qingchen passing the ball to a teammate, they would immediately return to their defensive position and resume their original defense.
I have to say that when Ye Qingchen noticed the Bulls' defense, he was also very emotional.
Zen Master Jackson deserves to be Zen Master Jackson. His research on the Lakers is indeed quite in-depth.
In particular, Ye Qingchen had already exposed all his hole cards in the Western Conference Finals, so the Bulls could really defend against his technical characteristics.
Therefore, the dilemma Ye Qingchen is facing at this time is whether to pass the ball or not to pass the ball.
If he rushes to the basket with his head down, there will be two results. One is that he is fouled by the Bulls players, and the other is that his impact is directly slapped out.
In desperation, Ye Qingchen had no choice but to dribble the ball back to the top of the arc, and at this time the attack time was running out.
Seeing Ye Qingchen dribbled the ball back to the top of the arc, the head coach of the Bulls on the sidelines had a satisfied smile on his face.
He knew that his defensive strategy had worked, Ye Qingchen had no way to take advantage of the Bulls inside.
Therefore, Ye Qingchen has only one choice now, and that is to seek opportunities to make shots from the outside.
Although Ye Qingchen's three-point shooting rate is very high, Pippen is now firmly stuck in front of Ye Qingchen, making it clear that Ye Qingchen will not have the opportunity to make an easy shot.
However, for the Bulls' defensive strategy, Ye Qingchen still has his countermeasures.
Ye Qingchen made a gesture to his teammates on the inside, signaling them to step forward to cover him.
So, Perkins and Campbell came to the upline at the same time, and they wanted to cover Ye Qingchen!
Pippen had also heard a little about the elevator door tactic of the Lakers, so he wanted to grab a position in advance to prevent Ye Qingchen from having room to make a move.
But the tactics of the elevator door were not something he could easily crack if he wanted to.
Ye Qingchen passed the ball to Scott at the same time, and quickly passed between Perkins and Campbell!
Pippen followed Ye Qingchen tightly!
Little did they know that Ye Qingchen suddenly turned back his carbine, and turned back to the wall formed by Perkins and Campbell again!
At the same time, the gap between Campbell and Perkins closed instantly!
Pippen was blocked behind the two!
Ye Qingchen has a neutral opportunity!
There are only two seconds left in the attack time!
Scott passed the ball back to Ye Qingchen's hands!
After Ye Qingchen caught the ball, he made a decisive jump shot!
"Shh!"
Basketball hollow into the net!
Attack time just ran out!
2: 3!
After Ye Qingchen tried to run for a while, he finally hit a difficult three-pointer!
Seeing that Ye Qingchen was able to hit under such strict defense, Danzi also showed a helpless expression on his face.
The most depressing one is Pippen, because he really did the best he can.
It's a pity that Ye Qingchen still used the cover of his teammates to complete the shot!
However, Zen Master Jackson was quite satisfied with Pippen's defense this time, and he even shouted to Pippen from the sidelines:
"Scottie, you defended well, that's how you defend!"
After getting the head coach's approval, Pippen finally felt a little more comfortable.
Looking back, the Bulls' offense was still initiated from Danzi's side.
When Danzi was holding the ball at the top of the arc, the defender he was facing was Ye Qingchen.
After he dribbled continuously under the crotch, he chose to hit Ye Qingchen with his back single, but his back hit didn't get much closer.
After all, Ye Qingchen's power is quite terrifying!
After dribbling with his back several times in a row, Danzi suddenly turned around to collect the ball and made a shooting motion!
Ye Qingchen had been paying attention to Danzi's movements all the time, he hurriedly stepped forward to prevent Danzi from having room to make a move.
Little did he know that Danzi didn't want to shoot himself this time, but passed the ball to Pippen by attracting Ye Qingchen's defense.
At this time, Pippen had already run out of neutral through the cover of his teammates, and received a pass from Danzi at the elbow on the right and easily hit a jumper!
4: 3!
The duo between Danzi and Pippen easily tore apart the Lakers' defense.
After Danzi assisted Pippen to score, he smiled and said to Ye Qingchen:
"I know you are very strong, but you can't beat us with two fists, you have no chance of defeating us!"
Facing Danzi's provocation of trash talking, Ye Qingchen responded with a look of disdain:
"That's it?"
"The game has just started, are you so confident?"
"Then you have to sharpen your eyes to see what real strength is!"
Regarding Ye Qingchen's response, Danzi didn't take it seriously at all.
The Lakers' lineup is destined to have big loopholes on the defensive end. They only need to seize the Lakers' defensive loopholes to attack, and they can easily score.
As long as there is no problem with the offense, then he has the confidence to easily defeat the Lakers.
It's the Lakers' turn to attack again.
Now the only thing the Lakers can count on is Ye Qingchen.
When Streiter dribbled the ball past the half court, he immediately passed the ball to Ye Qingchen's hands.
The Bulls players didn't limit Ye Qingchen's catch at all. Their idea now is to let Ye Qingchen hold the ball and find a way to cut off the connection between Ye Qingchen and his teammates. Doesn't pose much of a threat.
Ye Qingchen had a thorough understanding of the Bulls' defensive strategy, and he even thought of the battle of riding bravery more than 20 years later.
In the Cavaliers at that time, James was the only one who really had absolute strength, while the Warriors had three or four scoring points.
Therefore, the Cavaliers' defense is also in huge trouble.
Ye Qingchen clearly remembered that the strategy of the Cavaliers to defend against the Warriors was to switch defenses infinitely, trying to prevent the Warriors players from attacking in this way.
But it turns out that such a defensive strategy is not feasible, and the Cavaliers simply cannot prevent the Warriors' offense.
Therefore, in the end, the Cavaliers still could not cross the mountain of the five-star warriors.
Even James, who was at his peak in 18 years, was swept out by the Warriors.
However, at that time, the Cavaliers actually had a great chance to win the first game, if it wasn't for jr's sudden short-circuit.
In the first game of the finals that year, James scored 51 points alone, almost leading the team to overthrow the Warriors.
The offensive strategy used by the Cavaliers at that time was the roll call tactic, with James holding the ball, and then letting the player Curry defended come up to pick and roll him, and then switch to single-play Curry.
After the defense is successfully switched, it becomes James singles against Curry. Isn't this a matchup that can easily crush and score points casually?
Therefore, the tactic Ye Qingchen wants to use now is the roll call tactic.
Among the five players on the Bulls today, John Paxson is the weakest link in defense.
John Paxson is only 1.8 meters five and weighs only 84 kilograms.
He stood in front of Ye Qingchen, like a primary school student standing in front of a college student.
Therefore, as long as Paxson can defend Ye Qingchen, then Ye Qingchen can guarantee a super high hit rate.
Ye Qingchen, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc at the moment, made a gesture towards Straiter, signaling him to come over and cover himself!
Although Streiter didn't understand why Ye Qingchen asked him to go to cover, but he immediately came to Ye Qingchen to cover for him.
Seeing that Streiter went to cover for Ye Qingchen, of course Paxson also followed.
At first, even the Bulls players couldn't understand Ye Qingchen's operation.
But when Ye Qingchen and Streiter's pick-and-roll formed a switch, they finally came to their senses.
Paxson appeared in front of Ye Qingchen, while Pippen switched to defend Sritter.
This is already a dislocation!
The moment the dislocation was formed, Ye Qingchen dribbled the ball and pushed Paxson away forcibly, and came to the vicinity of the three-second zone.
Seeing Ye Qingchen break through easily, both Cartwright and Grant appeared in front of Ye Qingchen at the same time, trying to block Ye Qingchen's attack this time!
Ye Qingchen noticed that the two people were standing outside the small circle, obviously wanting to cause their own offensive foul.
Therefore, Ye Qingchen chose the simplest attack method, a small throw, and easily scored two points!
4: 5!
Seeing Ye Qingchen score easily again, the Bulls fans at the scene felt extremely depressed.
Ye Qingchen's offensive ability exceeded their expectations, and he was able to find Paxson's breakthrough, which really caught the Bulls' defense by surprise.
The commentator at the scene also commented with emotion at the moment:
"Ye's offense this time is quite clever. He knew that John's defense was not good, so he specially asked Saidal to come over to cover him. After the defense was changed, it became a misplacement!"
"This is the observation ability of the court, his insight is really terrible!"
"His head has always been sober, which is actually very difficult to do!"
"This kind of overall situation will cause great trouble to the Bulls' defense!"
The commentator's explanation was in place, making Jerry West in the audience nod frequently.
"Our defense does have big loopholes, but Ye's offense can make up for our deficiencies in defense!"
"So, we still have a chance in this game!"
Seeing Jerry West so confident, Jerry Buss also showed a little smile on his face:
"Indeed, if you hadn't tried your best to trade him over at the beginning, our Lakers wouldn't have been able to appear on the stage of the Finals!"
Magic Johnson silently nodded in agreement with Jerry Buss' words.
Indeed, if Ye Qingchen had retreated in the face of difficulties due to his own test, then the Lakers might not be able to reach the current stage.
Now it seems that in terms of vision, he is indeed not as sophisticated as Jerry West.
After hearing their remarks, Jerry West didn't have any joy on the surface, but he was already secretly happy in his heart.
In fact, even Jerry West didn't expect Ye Qingchen to have such great potential.
His original idea was actually to find a powerful defensive champion for Magic Johnson to share the pressure for Magic Johnson on the defensive end.
But he never expected that he would find such a big leak.
So, the next thing is a matter of course.
Just when the three of them were full of emotion, the two teams on the field had already started a battle.
The duo formed by Danzi and Pippen on the Bulls side, the Lakers simply couldn't guard against it.
And Ye Qingchen's roll call tactics also made the Bulls' defense very tight.
Because Ye Qingchen's roll call tactics were not only aimed at one Paxson, he could even target any defensive player of the Bulls.
Because at the moment when the pick-and-roll tactics were formed, Ye Qingchen was able to use this short time difference to quickly dribble to the three-point line.
Once the Bulls players wanted to flank Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen would pass the ball to his teammates through his wide vision.
And if after the pick-and-roll, if the Bulls players don't flank Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen will go straight to Huanglong and score an easy layup.
In short, the Bulls couldn't defend Ye Qingchen with the defense that flanked Ye Qingchen, because Ye Qingchen's reaction ability was too fast, they didn't even have time to flank Ye Qingchen, he had already The ball is passed.
Therefore, the first quarter formed a confrontational situation, and neither side could do anything to the other.
By the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides came to 40:35.
The Bulls are just 5 points ahead of the Lakers.
But Ye Qingchen scored as many as 25 points in a single quarter, and the rest of the players only scored 10 points.
It can be said that Ye Qingchen was completely in a state of rampage in the first quarter.
The commentator at the scene also exclaimed:
"Ye's performance in the first quarter was just like Michael's performance in the fourth game of the Eastern Conference finals, like a god descending from the earth!"
"It seems that the suspense of this game will continue!"
"However, Ye, who has already played a full game in the first quarter, can he continue this state until the end of the game?"
The question raised by the commentator is actually the question that Lakers fans are most concerned about.
Ye Qingchen's performance in the first quarter was indeed impeccable, but can he really continue in such a good state?
Moreover, in the first quarter of the game, the Bulls actually let Ye Qingchen play one-on-one. They haven't really resolutely double-teamed Ye Qingchen.
Therefore, whether Ye Qingchen can continue to perform explosively in the next game is really a question mark.
During the break between festivals, Zen Master Jackson gave the Bulls players the same tactical explanation:
"In the second quarter, we continued to defend like this!"
"It doesn't matter if Ye scores, but you can't let him form a connection with his teammates!"
"On the offensive end, we also maintain the current offensive strategy, trying not to shoot in front of Ye!"
"If this continues, the other Lakers players will fall into the vicious circle of watching Ye Qingchen play alone!"
"It's not a good thing for the Lakers, but it's a great thing for us!"
Zen Master Jackson's explanation made the Bulls players suddenly see the light.
After Danzi and Pippen looked at each other, they both saw determination in each other's eyes.
In this game, the two of them complemented each other, assisting each other to score, and there was a sense of tacit understanding that had not been seen for a long time.
Zen Master Jackson is right, if the game continues like this, the final victory must belong to them.
Therefore, the rhythm of this game is still in the hands of the Bulls.
As for the Lakers, apart from Ye Qingchen, including Lao Dengtou, they are all very satisfied with the current result.
They thought trailing by five points in the first quarter was already a good result.
Only Ye Qingchen couldn't see any relaxed expression on his face, which made Lao Deng puzzled:
"Hey, Ye, why do you still look very anxious?"
"You know, your performance is good enough!"
"You scored as many as 25 points in a single quarter!"
Old Deng's words got the approval of other Lakers players, and they all congratulated Ye Qingchen.
But Ye Qingchen asked back:
"Is it a lot for me to score 25 points?"
"Then how many assists do I have?"
Ye Qingchen's question made Old Deng stunned for a moment, he really didn't pay attention to Ye Qingchen's assist count.
"It's 3!"
"I only got 3 assists in a single quarter, which shows that the connection between me and my teammates has been cut!"
"This was done on purpose by the Bulls. They wanted me to score alone and not allow other players to score!"
"This is not a good result!"
Ye Qingchen's words made Lao Dengtou finally come to his senses, and an embarrassing expression appeared on his face instantly.
Because from the beginning, he didn't have great expectations for this game, and even he thought it was almost impossible for the Lakers to beat the Bulls.
Therefore, when the Lakers were only five points behind at the end of the first quarter, Old Deng had preconceived that the Lakers performed very well.
But when Ye Qingchen pointed out the key problem, he realized that the Lakers are actually in great crisis now.
If the connection problem between Ye Qingchen and his teammates could not be resolved, then the final result of this match would be a loss.
Even if Ye Qingchen's state can last until the end of the game, Ye Qingchen can even score 60+ or even 70+ personal points, but in front of all the Bulls scoring, no matter how good Ye Qingchen's personal performance is Unable to lead the team to victory!
After hearing Ye Qingchen's words, the rest of the players also fell silent.
Because they can't think of any effective countermeasures at all, it seems that this is an unsolvable problem!
And Ye Qingchen also fell into thinking.
For the time being, Ye Qingchen really couldn't find a good solution.
If you say that you play without the ball, you still need to run non-stop to catch the ball and attack, which can't solve the practical problem at all.
At this time, the sound of the start of the second quarter of the game sounded, and the game continued.
