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

Chapter 218 The ultimate fast break and the ultimate positional battle!The duel of spear and shield!
Although Danzi's remarks are a bit arrogant, judging from their current record and level, they really have such strength.

In particular, their first competitor, the Lakers, did not perform too well in the preseason, because Ye Qingchen was exempt from the game, and Ewing and Olajuwon also took turns to play, so the strength of the Lakers is not yet fully displayed.

Therefore, after the end of the preseason, the Lakers' ranking in the official strength list has even slipped to fifth place, ahead of them are the Chicago Bulls, Utah Jazz, Orlando Magic, Indiana Pacers Team.

Seeing this ranking, Lakers fans quit!

This is simply a blatant humiliation of the Lakers. You must know that the Lakers were the championship last season, and they have achieved two consecutive championships. This is only worthy of fifth place?
Therefore, Lakers fans are eagerly looking forward to the Lakers being able to show their strength in the opening game.

As we all know, the opening game of the new season is usually played by two stronger teams last season.

Therefore, the opponents of the 1993-1994 NBA regular season opener were the Lakers VS Bulls!
This opening game also attracted fans from almost all of America to watch.

After all, the strength of these two teams is also quite strong. The All-Stars of the two teams combined can form the starters of the Eastern and Western All-Star teams.

This opening game is the Bulls' home game, which makes the Bulls players and fans who have been holding back the whole summer look forward to it.

For this opening game, combined with the performance of the preseason, almost everyone is unanimously optimistic that the Bulls can beat the Lakers.

As for the Lakers fans, they have always believed in the Lakers with Ye Qingchen, so they don't worry about the outcome of the opening game at all.

On the contrary, it was Ewing, who attached great importance to this game, and even came to the arena early to warm up.

Ewing's idea is very simple. This is his first game with the Lakers. Of course he wants to show himself well and let the Lakers fans know that he has the strength to become the leader of the Lakers.

The other Lakers players seemed to have seen Ewing's thoughts, and they all gave him appreciative glances, especially Ye Qingchen, who looked at Ewing excitedly and said:

"Boss, this game is up to you!"

Hearing Ye Qingchen call himself boss, Ewing felt very comfortable:
"Of course, you just need to give me the ball, and I'll take care of the rest!"

Olajuwon on the side saw Ewing's confident look, and his eyes were full of shadows of himself last year.

I vaguely remember that at this time last year, Ye Qingchen also seemed to let him be the boss of the team, but everyone knew the end result very well, that is, the boss was at ease!

Now, when Ye Qingchen gave the same words to Ewing, Olajuwon felt that he had been fooled.

Therefore, Olajuwon decided to continue this inheritance, so he also echoed:
"Yeah, you're our recognized team leader, all you need to do is throw the ball in that goddamn hoop!"

After Ewing heard Olajuwon's encouragement, he became excited:

"Then you guys have a good look at my performance!"

Ye Qingchen and Olajuwon looked at each other and smiled, they had a good understanding!

With the sound of the referee's whistle, the opening game of the 1993-1994 regular season officially started!
New season, new lineup!
Lakers starting lineup:
Ye Qingchen, Keith Owens, Olajuwon, Divac, Ewing.

Bulls starting lineup:
Danzi, Pippen, Drexler, Barkley, Armstrong.

The almost all-star lineup made the fans watching this game feel extremely excited.

Even David Stern has a lot of confidence in the Bulls. After all, these four All-Star players have excellent athletic ability.

On the other hand, the Lakers, although their inside line is very strong, but with such a starting lineup, the inside line will appear very crowded.

Moreover, the mobility of the Lakers lineup is obviously insufficient, and the Bulls are likely to seize their shortcoming to target.

Game start!
It was the Lakers who got the ball first.

After Ye Qingchen received the ball, he was about to dribble across the frontcourt when he encountered a double team from Drexler and Pippen.

Ye Qingchen obviously expected such a result, and immediately passed the ball to teammate Keith Owens.

However, the other players of the Bulls seemed to have seen through Ye Qingchen's pass selection long ago, and Danzi actually broke out from the diagonal stab at this moment and intercepted the ball.

Even Ye Qingchen was a little surprised by Danzi's steal this time. It seems that the Bulls really came prepared this time.

However, Ye Qingchen was only slightly surprised, and then quickly defended.

For Danzi's wonderful steal this time, the Bulls fans on the scene were extremely excited. The Bulls had an advantage at the beginning of the game. This is what they wanted to see.

After Danzi successfully steals here, he directly holds the ball for a fast-break counterattack.

Danzi's fast break was so fast that, except for Ye Qingchen, the rest of the players couldn't keep up.

And when Danzi dribbled the ball and rushed to the front court, he even looked back at Ye Qingchen who was following behind him.

In the fast break and counterattack, the Bulls' speed advantage was fully displayed. Pippen, Drexler and even Barkley rushed to Ye Qingchen's side.

Now, Danzi has more choices. He can choose to attack the basket directly, or he can choose to pass the ball to the follow-up teammates, which are very reasonable choices.

After Ye Qingchen glanced left and right, he also had a serious look on his face. He knew that it would be very difficult for him to defend successfully this time.

Sure enough, when Ye Qingchen followed up near the free throw line, Danzi had already chosen to directly attack the basket.

Ye Qingchen jumped up at the same time, and when he was about to slap Danzi's attack away, he was surprised to find that Danzi threw the ball back, which turned out to be a fake throw and a true pass!
Ye Qingchen was blown away this time!
Drexler was the first to take off behind him. He jumped high, caught the basketball firmly with both hands, and slammed the ball into the basket!
The moment Ye Qingchen landed, Drexler had already completed the dunk!

A very exciting alley-oop cooperation!
Ye Qingchen had a playful look on his face!

The Bulls fans at the scene were completely insane, shouting hysterically!

And after the dunk, Drexler watched Ye Qingchen's arrogance even more emotionally.

Seeing this situation, Danzi quickly came to Drexler's side and prevented him from provoking further.

Because Danzi and Ye Qingchen have fought so many times, he clearly knows that Ye Qingchen cannot be provoked, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

For Danzi's stop, Drexler felt a little unfinished, he always felt that provoking Ye Qingchen was the best choice at this time.

Anyway, their advantage is very obvious now, and the speed of the Lakers simply can't keep up with them.

On the Lakers side, Ewing and the others also had very ugly expressions. They didn't expect the Bulls to counterattack so fast, which was a bit beyond their expectations.

Especially Ewing, his face became extremely solemn, thinking that this attack must be completed.

When Divac passed the ball to Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen was double-teamed again.

And Danzi on the side is even more eyeing, he is always ready to steal Ye Qingchen.

However, Ye Qingchen chose not to pass the ball when facing double teams this time, but forced to dribble the ball across the half court.

Ye Qingchen chose to forcefully dribble across the half court this time, which also surprised Pippen and Drexler.

Ye Qingchen's strength was very strong, he directly chose to dribble with his back, and stuck Pippen tightly behind him.

As for Drexler, who has been entangled in front of Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen responded with constant dribbles and turns.

Although the process was a bit stuck, Ye Qingchen still managed to dribble the ball across the half court.

After halftime, the Bulls' defense changed and became a zone defense again.

This is the defensive concept of the Bulls coach Pat Riley. His idea is to double-team Ye Qingchen suddenly when he dribbles the ball halfway, trying to interfere with him and then complete the steal and turn it into a fast break.

However, if the steal is unsuccessful, the regular defense should be resumed immediately to prevent Ye Qingchen from passing the ball to an open teammate.

Sure enough, Ye Qingchen immediately passed the ball to Ewing, who was on the inside line.

After receiving the ball, Ewing was full of confidence. He raised the ball above his head with both hands, and then dribbled the ball with his back and completed a turn. He had already reached a deep position under the basket.

Ewing's very aggressive offensive style this time made the Bulls' defense very passive, and Barkley cut the ball directly without hesitation.

Although Barkley successfully cut the ball away, the referee's whistle sounded at the same time, and Barkley's thugs fouled!
Ewing's wrist was almost swollen by Barkley's hand!

Ewing glanced at Barkley with some displeasure, and Barkley glared at him even more:

"What are you looking at? It's you, the guy who surrendered to the enemy!"

Ewing was also completely irritated by Barkley's words. He once again got stuck in the basket and asked for the ball. He must complete a tough score in front of this foul-mouthed Barkley.

This time, Ye Qingchen actually chose to forcibly break through the inside line immediately after receiving the ball.

The Bulls' defense naturally began to shrink, encircling and suppressing Ye Qingchen.

The Bulls' defensive strategy is that no matter who it is, if they break through to the inside, they will resolutely encircle and double-team him, and never allow him to easily score at the basket.

Therefore, Ye Qingchen's forced breakthrough this time directly attracted three people to double-team him, and his attack route was completely blocked.

Seeing that Ye Qingchen was about to bump into Danzi who was standing in front of him, Danzi was ready to fall to the ground.

But it was discovered that Ye Qingchen had successfully braked forcibly at the last moment, and then he directly passed the basketball in his hand from a strange angle.

It's a crotch pass!
He was still wearing Barkley's crotch!
After the basketball passed through Barkley, it cleverly came to Ewing's hands!
After receiving the ball, Ewing no longer had any defense, and easily completed the classic "gorilla" dunk, scoring his first two points in the Lakers!
"Boss, strike!"

Ye Qingchen shouted excitedly.

Ewing was also quite excited. He looked at Barkley and said mockingly:

"It seems that you prefer to be pierced by people!"

At this moment, Barkley's face was extremely ugly, and he didn't expect that Ye Qingchen could easily pass the ball from his crotch, which was a great shame!
Especially just now he made a mockery of Ewing, which made him feel very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Damn guy, just wait and see!"

After speaking, Barkley passed the ball directly to Danzi, and then quickly rushed forward.

Now the Bulls' offensive speed is significantly faster than last season, which the Lakers did not expect.

Even Ye Qingchen felt that the Bulls had finally found the right offensive rhythm.

They speed up their offense, which is really not good news for the Lakers, especially the three big players of the Lakers, their speed is really not fast enough.

Therefore, Ye Qingchen and Keith Owens followed immediately.

Especially Ye Qingchen, he blocked Danzi directly, and tried to steal Danzi to slow down his attack speed.

For Ye Qingchen's appearance, Dan Zi seemed to have expected it. After all, they had been studying Ye Qingchen's style of play all season, and they all vomited after watching the Lakers game video.

Therefore, they are already familiar with Ye Qingchen's various offensive methods and defensive strategies.

Especially for Ye Qingchen, the Bulls even compiled a fairly detailed analysis data about Ye Qingchen's playing style and defensive style.

Just like now, Ye Qingchen will appear in front of Dan Zi quickly, which is what they expected.

But the appearance of Ye Qingchen can't stop the formation of the Bulls' fast break, because Drexler and Pippen's mobility is quite good, they have surpassed Ye Qingchen at this time and appeared in the frontcourt position .

Danzi slammed the ball vigorously into the frontcourt, and it was Pippen who caught the ball. Keith Owens of the Lakers also caught up with Pippen at this time, but Drexler was at a loss. under human supervision. .

Therefore, it was Drexler who succeeded in eating cakes this time!
After catching the ball easily, Drexler completed another powerful dunk, and the entire Bulls went into a frenzy at home.

In their view, the Lakers' defense can't limit their home team at all, and they already have the absolute upper hand!

Ewing and Olajuwon had just passed the halfway line after Drexler dunked successfully, and their speed was too slow.

Now, Lao Dengtou realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly asked for a timeout.

Regarding the Bulls' offensive strategy, Old Deng was also a little bit blind. He didn't know what to do, so he habitually looked at Ye Qingchen.

In fact, Ye Qingchen quite recognized the change of the Bulls' offensive method, and it was really not easy to find a way to win.

However, Ye Qingchen still said very calmly:
"Don't worry, we don't have to follow their rhythm to play, they play fast and we play slow!"

"We must attack according to our rhythm, and we must not lose our advantage!"

Ye Qingchen's words had the effect of calming the sea, and the Lakers players instantly felt relieved.

After the timeout ended, Ye Qingchen really slowed down the offensive tempo.

After he holds the ball at the top of the arc, he will observe the position of his teammates, and then form a pick-and-roll tactic with his teammates, and then pass the ball to the open Olajuwon or Ewing.

The Lakers have an absolute advantage inside, so Ewing and Olajuwon's inside shooting percentages are extremely high, which is why they tightly bite the score.

Thus, this game has formed such a style:

The Lakers' offense almost takes 24 seconds, while the Bulls' offenses are almost all completed within ten seconds, and they hardly play positional warfare.

The rhythm of the game is completely different, but the score has been biting.

At the end of the half game, the score came to 65:62, and the Lakers trailed by 3 points!
