NBA: There is nothing wrong with bringing a ball in a fight!

Chapter 202 The Bulls' Secret Weapon in the Finals?The Lakers are in crisis!

Obviously, Danzi feels good today, and the cooperation between him and Barkley has become quite tacit, and everything is moving in a good direction.

Compared with last season's finals, Danzi now has a powerful helper, Barkley, who can help Danzi solve the problem of being entangled by Ye Qingchen very well.

Although Barkley is not tall, he has a large cross-sectional area. When he is in the pick-and-roll, he can keep the defender behind him, creating huge dribbling space and shooting opportunities for his teammates.

Therefore, Danzi just took advantage of Barkley's super high-quality pick-and-roll to easily complete this mid-range shot.

There are not a few neutral fans watching this game. They saw that the offense of both sides was so entertaining at the beginning of the game, and they became excited instantly:
"This is the finals we are looking forward to!"

"Damn, Michael's mid-range shot is really too stable, and his shooting percentage in the playoffs is showing an increasing trend!"

"Judging from the Bulls' offensive strategy, they seem to be focusing on the cooperation of Michael and Charles, which is somewhat similar to the Jazz!"

"Have you forgotten? They still have Scottie, and he is also very threatening!"

"Ye Du of the Lakers hasn't started to play yet, you still underestimate him!"

The only hope for these neutral fans is that the game will be exciting, because the home team they support has been eliminated, but if they want to watch the game, they can only hope that the finals will be very exciting.

While the fans were discussing, Ye Qingchen had already dribbled the ball across the half court and organized an attack again.

This time, Ye Qingchen and Keith Owens formed a pick-and-roll cooperation. After the pick-and-roll, Keith Owens quickly cut outside to the three-point line, and Ye Qingchen used the screen to dribble to the inside.

The Bulls' defense focused on Ye Qingchen, so when Ye Qingchen rushed inside, the Bulls decisively double-teamed him.

But at the moment when the double-team was formed, Ye Qingchen didn't look at the pass, and threw the ball directly behind him!
The Bulls players did not expect Ye Qingchen to choose such a passing posture, so Ye Qingchen passed the ball this time and easily found Keith Owens who was ready to receive the ball.

"nice pass!"

Keith Owens yelled after receiving the ball, and then confidently raised his hand for a three-pointer!

The sound of the hollow net entering the net became more pleasing to the ear through the loudspeaker, and the Lakers fans at the scene cheered loudly with excitement.

"You can always trust Keith in open shots, he is like a ruthless killer, throwing three-pointers into the basket!"

The commentator at the scene shouted excitedly.

Seeing this scene, the Zen master Jackson on the sidelines became a little ugly. He underestimated Ye Qingchen's ability to control the ball, and he also ignored the accurate outside shooter of the Lakers.

But it doesn't matter, they won't mess themselves up because of this.

Zen Master Jackson put his hand into his mouth and blew the whistle. The whistle quickly reached the ears of the Bulls players on the field, and they immediately understood what the coach wanted to express.

As we all know, NBA games have a prescribed number of timeouts, and these timeouts are quite precious to every team, so unless the situation is urgent, they will not easily request a timeout.

Especially when the game has just started, the head coach will generally not request a timeout, unless the players are playing quite badly or the tactics are not implemented properly.

However, coaches sometimes have to convey some of their tactical ideas and arrangements to the players on the field, so there will be techniques such as tactical gestures and whistle tactics.

And what Zen Master Jackson likes to use most is his whistle tactics. He integrates his tactics into different whistles, and he allows his players to clearly distinguish the tactics expressed by his whistle.

And this time, the tactics expressed by his whistle are to let the players implement their new triangle offense tactics.

Veteran Bulls fans know that the reason why the Bulls are strong is not only because they have Danzi and Pippen, but also because they have a triangle offensive tactic suitable for the entire Bulls.

This triangle offensive tactic made the Bulls' offense quite sharp, and it also caused a lot of headaches for many opponents.

Although after Barkley joined the Bulls this season, the Bulls have used a lot less triangle offensive tactics, but this does not mean that the Bulls have given up this tactic.

On the contrary, when Barkley joined the Bulls, Zen Master Jackson put more energy into studying the new triangle offensive tactics, the purpose is to prepare for the finals.

Moreover, they rarely used this new triangle offensive tactic in previous games, not because they wanted to hide their strength, but because the opponent's strength did not require them to use this super offensive tactic.

But now their opponent is the Lakers, that's another matter.

So, when the Bulls players heard the coach's whistle, they immediately understood what kind of tactics they needed to implement next.

The basketball is now in the hands of Armstrong. After dribbling for half the court, he dribbles at the top of the arc, looking for Danzi's position.

Danzi succeeded in securing a position at a 45-degree angle on the left, and Armstrong passed the ball into his hands.

After receiving the ball, Danzi didn't dribble and attack immediately. He also held the ball with both hands and turned his back to the defender, and then observed the movement of his teammates.

The most important point of the triangle offense is the inside, and Barkley took on such a role. After Danzi received the ball, he cut into the inside immediately after Danzi received the ball.

At the same time, Pippen, who was ambushing on the left baseline, also cut into the inside line along the baseline under the cover of his teammates without the ball.

Danzi decisively passed the ball into Barkley's hands. After Barkley received the ball, the defender he faced happened to be Olajuwon.

While Olajuwon rushed over, the other defensive players of the Lakers also focused on Barkley.

At this moment, Ye Qingchen was staring at Danzi. When he saw the Bulls' offensive tactics, he suddenly felt very familiar, so he hurriedly turned his head to look at the bottom line.

When Ye Qingchen looked at the bottom line, he immediately saw that Pippen had completed the air cut, and the Lakers had a defensive loophole on the bottom line.

It was obviously too late for Ye Qingchen to go over to defend from the free throw line, so Ye Qingchen made a decision, ran directly to the frontcourt, he gave up defending Danzi.

Danzi originally wanted to mock Ye Qingchen after Pippen scored easily, but he didn't expect Ye Qingchen to run directly to the frontcourt.

Ye Qingchen's action made Danzi stunned for a moment. At this moment, Pippen had received a pass from Barkley and easily completed a one-handed dunk.

Although Olajuwon at the basket looked a little frustrated, he had already noticed Ye Qingchen's running position, so he quickly got the basketball, took a step towards the baseline, and while standing outside the baseline, he had already slapped the ball hard. He threw it fiercely towards the frontcourt!

It wasn't until this time that Danzi finally realized that Ye Qingchen wanted to steal the chicken!
At this time, the Bulls players really couldn't react to defend Ye Qingchen in the first place.

So Olajuwon's fast serve this time really successfully crossed the whole court and passed directly to Ye Qingchen who had already passed halftime.

After catching the ball, Ye Qingchen even looked back at Danzi before he dribbled the ball to the basket with a smile on his face and completed a powerful two-handed windmill dunk!
The Lakers quickly scored two points in only three seconds!

Such a fast-paced offensive method made the Lakers fans on the scene very addicted. They felt that Ye Qingchen's reaction was too witty, and he was able to score quickly while the team lost.

After seeing Ye Qingchen easily complete the score, the Zen master Jackson on the sidelines looked gloomy again. He was very dissatisfied with the Bulls players' defensive awareness. This kind of fast-break scoring is very demoralizing.

Therefore, Zen Master Jackson pinched the ball to his lips again and whistled, warning the players to return to defense in time and not to take it lightly.

Danzi's face was very ugly, Ye Qingchen's reaction speed was beyond his expectation, he knew that he was really negligent just now.

Therefore, Danzi became more cautious during the Bulls' offense this time. Their new triangle offensive tactics worked really well, and Ye Qingchen's ability to assist in defense was well contained.

Similarly, the Bulls' players would quickly return to defense immediately after scoring, especially for Ye Qingchen's marking, they did it to the extreme.

In front of Ye Qingchen, there is always a Bulls player, the purpose of this is to prevent Ye Qingchen from easily finding opportunities to score or catch the ball.

From the current point of view, this defensive strategy is very successful, but Ye Qingchen's performance in the first quarter is not very eye-catching.

However, despite this, Ye Qingchen still performed with ease. Although his desire to score is not very strong, and his threat on the defensive end is also greatly reduced, he can always use his vision to accurately pass the ball to his teammates and assist them to score. .

Therefore, in the first quarter, the point difference between the two teams has always maintained a gap of 3 to 5 points, and the point difference has not widened.

In the first quarter of the game, Danzi's personal performance can be described as remarkable, his scoring has reached as many as 12 points, Barkley also got 5 assists, Pippen even used his own air cut The ability to tear through the Lakers' defense many times and complete easy scoring.

So, at the end of the first quarter, at 35:39, the Lakers trailed by as much as 4 points.

The result of the Lakers falling behind made the Lakers fans very depressed. They always felt that Ye Qingchen's desire to attack in this game was not very high.

However, anyone who knows the ball can see that this is because the Bulls' offense and defense are all targeting Ye Qingchen.

Especially in their offense, they are always wary of Ye Qingchen's defense, making it difficult for Ye Qingchen to show his ability of defense.

Even Ye Qingchen himself recognized Zen master Jackson's offensive tactics very much.

"This Zen Master Jackson really has something!"

Ye Qingchen sat on the bench and joked carelessly.

After listening to Ye Qingchen's words, Olajuwon agreed with some depression:

"That's right, their tactic seems to be sharper than the previous triangle offense. I feel that they are performing all kinds of off-ball screens and air cuts all the time. It is too difficult to defend!"

After hearing the chat between Olajuwon and Ye Qingchen, Lao Deng also showed a dignified expression. He felt that the strength of the Bulls this year was much stronger than last year.

You must know that in last year's finals, the Bulls only had Danzi and Pippen, and their inside line was smashed by Ye Qingchen alone.

But in this year's finals, the Bulls' strength has made great progress. Their strength improvement has made the Lakers' defense very difficult, and even Ye Qingchen has been restricted by their success.

It seems that this series of finals is really not as simple as imagined.

Ye Qingchen, who was chatting with Olajuwon, seemed to see the worry of the head coach Lao Deng. He smiled and said to him:

"Hey, coach, don't worry too much, we are in control of this game!"

Ye Qingchen's words didn't make Lao Deng feel relieved, he felt that Ye Qingchen's attitude was too optimistic.

"Hey, Ye, we can't take it lightly. The Bulls came prepared this time. I always feel that they still have a trump card that they haven't used yet!"

"So, in the second quarter, you have to pay more attention to your personal offense, try to tie the score and spread it apart as much as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams!"

After hearing what Old Deng said, Ye Qingchen nodded with a smile:

"The coach is right, I really want to attack well!"

After hearing Ye Qingchen's answer, Old Deng nodded in relief. At least the first quarter of the game was over, and they still had time.

On the Bulls' bench here, all the Bulls players had confident expressions on their faces, especially Danzi and Barkley. They felt that the new triangle offensive tactic could firmly restrain the Lakers and Ye Qingchen.

However, there is not much smile on Zen master Jackson's face, he is still very cautious:

"We were able to take the lead in the first quarter. Apart from the good execution of our offensive tactics, the main reason is that that guy hasn't really played yet!"

"So, in the second quarter, we have to be more cautious. We can't make mistakes. We must execute the tactics well, and don't let the opponent have any chance to counterattack!"

"Don't worry, coach, our tactics are enough to force them to rub against the ground!"

Barkley said confidently, apparently he felt that the Lakers in the finals were not as scary as imagined.

For Barkley's pride, Zen master Jackson was a little helpless, but at this time Barkley was in the right state and full of confidence, so it was not easy to dampen his enthusiasm.

"Yes, you played well today, you have to keep going!"

After all, Zen Master Jackson only encouraged Barkley, and did not pour cold water on him.

The whistle sounded for the start of the second quarter, and the game continued!
When the players from both sides walked onto the field, Ye Qingchen passed by Barkley, and Barkley actually took the initiative to challenge Ye Qingchen:

"Hey, how about our team's new tactics? Do you feel very helpless?"

"???"

Ye Qingchen turned around, looked at Barkley with the eyes of a fool, and finally smiled with concern for a mentally retarded person.

Buckley was very angry at Ye Qingchen's smile. He was very upset with Ye Qingchen, and was even severely humiliated by Ye Qingchen in the ring.

He wanted to regain his confidence in Ye Qingchen even in his dreams, but today he managed to perform well in front of Ye Qingchen, originally thinking that he would be able to dampen Ye Qingchen's morale, but Now Ye Qingchen still looks like he is dragged to the sky, how can he not be angry?
"What do you mean by that look?"

"Look at the mentally retarded eyes? Can't you see that?"
