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

Chapter 229 The Lakers face the risk of being out of the playoffs, Ye Qingchen comes up with a kill tactic at a critical moment!

A wave of eight consecutive losses, even the Lakers themselves feel a little incredible.

Especially Ewing and Olajuwon, they feel the most real.

The beginning of this wave of losing streak was like a dream. My opponent was obviously a big team from the east and west, so why did it suddenly seem like a chicken blood?

For example, in the first game of the losing streak, the opponent was obviously the Kings. In the past, their strength would have been impossible to win against the Lakers, but they just started to attack the Lakers crazily.

Especially their three-point shooting rate, like eating an expired aphrodisiac, was ridiculously accurate. The final result was that the Lakers were directly shot through and lost the game.

If losing this game was an accident, then the next game really didn't seem like an accident. Every team that faced the Lakers became very crazy.

Therefore, it wasn't until the Lakers suffered an eight-game losing streak that the players and coaches suddenly realized that this was targeting them!
After eight consecutive losses, the Lakers also received various ridicules off the court. Many experts even asserted that the Lakers would not make the playoffs.

Therefore, the management of the Lakers also issued a death order to Lao Deng, and must stop the losing streak and win the next game.

Therefore, the game against the Jazz after the eight-game losing streak has become crucial.

This game against the Jazz was played at the home court of the Lakers.

Before the game, the general opinion was that the Lakers would continue their losing streak, because the opponent was the Jazz, and the strength of the Lakers was not as good as before.

The pressure has all come to the Lakers' side.

When the game was about to start, the atmosphere in the Lakers locker room became very dignified.

Old Deng cheered the team members up with a serious expression:

"Guys, we must treat this game with [-]% of our strength. We must win this game and end our losing streak!"

"Although the opponent is the Jazz, don't forget, we have two All-Star centers in Patrick and Hajim. We will definitely be able to beat them!"

"Come on, let's fight together for victory!"

The encouragement from the old Dengtou still played a big role in encouraging, and the morale of the Lakers has been greatly improved.

Ye Qingchen also cheered for the team together in the locker room. In fact, he has seen the real reason for the Lakers' losing streak.

As for this match, Ye Qingchen's attitude was not optimistic either.

Other teams in the league have reached a consensus to snipe the Lakers and prevent the Lakers from entering the playoffs. This behavior is quite shameful.

However, even though Ye Qingchen saw the thoughts and plots of these teams, he was powerless because he was being suspended.

Therefore, now we can only rely on the Lakers' own efforts to win the game and make it to the playoffs.

But the Lakers have exposed a huge problem during their eight-game losing streak, that is, their speed has been seriously slowed down.

With Ewing and Olajuwon on the court at the same time, the Lakers' offense can only be a positional battle. Although the shooting rate is high, the efficiency is not high.

Moreover, in the process of switching offenses, the speed of their two inside players returning to defense is very slow, which gives the opponent an opportunity to quickly form a defensive counterattack.

And if one of Ewing or Olajuwon is on the court, the offense appears to be very weak, and when the opponent double-teams them, the Lakers will lose their combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the Lakers' problem is very serious now, and it is indeed very difficult to win against the Jazz.

It's just that Ye Qingchen didn't tell if he saw through, and he didn't want the team to mess up, so he could only let them experience it slowly.

As for whether the Lakers will really be successfully sniped, Ye Qingchen is not very worried. At the most critical moment, he will think of a special tactic to pull the Lakers. It is not a critical moment, let his teammates It is also beneficial to experience the feeling of losing.

As expected by Ye Qingchen, although the Lakers' morale was very high in this game and their tactics were executed very well, they still had no advantage against the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics.

In the end, the Lakers lost the game, suffering a nine-game losing streak, and their record has become 38 wins and 23 losses.

Such a record, of course, could not satisfy the home fans, so they began to bombard Lao Dengtou frantically, thinking that there was a problem with Lao Dengtou's coaching.

Seeing Lao Deng's depressed expression, Ye Qingchen also smiled and comforted:
"Hey, coach, now is not the time to be depressed. We are not at a dead end. Relax and do whatever you want!"

Ye Qingchen's consolation really helped, and Lao Dengtou really continued to follow his coaching philosophy.

Therefore, the Lakers really won the next game.

But before the Lakers fans had time to be happy, the Lakers immediately started another wave of five-game losing streak.

Now Lakers fans have completely given up, and some radical fans have even threatened to give Lao Deng death threats.

This frightened Lao Dengtou. Despite his age, he was still threatened by the fans, which caused him to be absent from the next game.

The Lakers, who had a bad record, made things worse, directly starting a wave of ten-game losing streak.

Calculated in this way, the Lakers with 30 games left have played 20 games, only won 1 game, and lost 19 games.

No wonder the Lakers fans will collapse, this is replaced by fans of any team can't stand it.

Therefore, after playing 72 games, the Lakers' record has become 39 wins and 33 losses.

Seeing that the Lakers' winning percentage was less than [-]%, at this time, Dengtou finally announced his comeback.

In fact, the absence of Old Dengtou was suggested by Ye Qingchen. He felt that there was no need for Old Dengtou to worry too much, and the best choice was to rest for a while.

It wasn't until the last 10 games that Ye Qingchen let Old Dengtou come back, and during the period of Lao Dengtou's absence, Ye Qingchen also taught him a few tactics.

Lao Dengtou, who was taught by Ye Qingchen, led the Lakers to victory in the first game of his comeback.

In the following games, the Lakers swept away the decline and won five consecutive victories. Their record became 44 wins and 33 losses, firmly ranking eighth in the Western Conference.

This result gave the fans of the Lakers finally a little comfort, at least it can guarantee to enter the playoffs.

Seeing the Lakers actually win five consecutive victories at the last moment, the teams ranked in the top seven in the Western Conference are quite depressed.

They thought that teaming up to snipe the Lakers would put the Lakers in a desperate situation, but they never expected that the Lakers would be so tenacious. In the last ten games, there was a wave of five consecutive victories.

If the Lakers can continue to win one or two games in the next five games, then they will firmly enter the playoffs.

Therefore, these last five games are crucial. The team behind the Lakers is the Denver Nuggets, and their record is 40 wins and 37 losses, with 5 games left.

In other words, the Lakers only need to win 1 of the last five games to definitely enter the playoffs.

Even if the Nuggets win all the last five games, their record can only be 45 wins and 37 losses, which is the same as the Lakers.

In the case of the same record, the Lakers' division is ranked ahead of the Nuggets' division, so the Lakers can directly enter the playoffs, and the Nuggets are eliminated.

Therefore, in this case, the last five regular season games between the Lakers and Nuggets are crucial.

For the Nuggets, this is their last chance. Although it is very difficult to win all five games, they must give it a go.

As for the Lakers, they also have the confidence to win. At this time, they have won five consecutive victories and they are fearless.

Therefore, which of these two teams can enter the playoffs has attracted the attention of fans across the United States.

For teams like the Bulls, Magic and Jazz, of course they don't want to see the Lakers continue to win.

With so much attention, the pressure on the Lakers can be imagined.

As for the Nuggets, because it was a gamble, they took the lead in winning the first two games, and their record came directly to 42 wins and 37 losses.

The Lakers actually lost two games in a row. After all, their opponents were all the top six teams in the Western Conference.

So, the Lakers' opponents in the last three games are the SuperSonics, Pacers and Nuggets.

As for the Nuggets' last three games, they are against the Bulls, Cavaliers and Lakers.

Especially the last game, it made all the fans who watched the excitement extremely excited. This is a direct face-to-face duel.

In fact, if every team is performing normally according to the situation on paper, it will be really difficult for the Nuggets to enter the playoffs.

After all, their remaining opponents are the Bulls and Cavaliers. It is impossible to win against these two Eastern Conference teams.

But don't forget that the Bulls and Cavaliers are actually the Lakers' mortal enemies, and they are likely to choose to directly let the main players take turns.

As for the Lakers' two opponents, they are not fuel-efficient. There is a high probability that they will try their best to stop the Lakers and let them lose the game.

Even the Lakers themselves are ready to fight the Nuggets to the death.

As expected, when the Lakers faced the Sonics, the opponent still played with all the main players, directly giving the Lakers a three-game losing streak.

When facing the Pacers, the Lakers still couldn't take advantage of it. Reggie Miller even made 8 three-pointers directly, shooting through the Lakers' defense.

The Nuggets over there actually met someone noble. Their opponents, the Bulls and Cavaliers, both chose to rest their main players, easily giving the Nuggets a four-game winning streak.

So far, the record of the Lakers has become 44 wins and 37 losses, and the record of the Nuggets is also 44 wins and 37 losses.

For this result, many people did not expect it to be so dramatic.

This should have been the most ordinary regular season, but it has become the most watched game in the United States.

Because this game is related to the Lakers' ability to enter the playoffs, and it can even be said to be related to this season's championship.

Therefore, in the eyes of many teams that have already locked in the playoffs, they just don't want to see the Lakers win this game.

The reason is actually very simple. In the eyes of these playoff teams, Ye Qingchen has become synonymous with miracles. As long as he can return to the Lakers, then anything is possible for the Lakers.

If the Lakers really get on the last train of the playoffs, Ye Qingchen's return will definitely have a huge impact on the entire playoffs.

Therefore, whether it is the top Sonics in the West or the Bulls in the East, they don't want to see the Lakers enter the playoffs.

As for the other playoff teams, they also have the same idea, because they really can't beat the Lakers with Ye Qingchen, but they can still fight for other teams.

For the Lakers, it is a shame to be able to enter the playoffs in the last game of the regular season.

Therefore, when they saw Ye Qingchen encouraging them with a smile on their faces, they felt even more ashamed, especially Ewing and Olajuwon.

Ye Qingchen seemed to see everyone's thoughts, so he even teased with a face of indifference:
"Now that the whole league is trying to prevent us from making the playoffs, it already shows that we are the strongest."

"So, these games we lost can be said to be lost to the sum of the strength of other teams in the league, so we don't need to worry too much."

"What we need to do now is to break the cage they created, defeat the Nuggets, and get the last spot in the Western Conference playoffs!"

"Then, it's time for the whole league to witness our black eight!"

When Ye Qingchen said these words, his tone was quite indifferent, but it injected great motivation into all the players of the Lakers team.

Even Old Deng felt his blood boil.

Seeing that his teammates had regained their confidence, Ye Qingchen also breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

In fact, Ye Qingchen really didn't expect the situation like today. He never thought that the Lakers team with Ewing and Olajuwon would face the embarrassing situation of being out of the playoffs.

It's unbelievable just to say it, let alone it really happened.

But when Ye Qingchen carefully reviewed the Lakers games during his absence, he could understand why the Lakers lost so many games.

In these games, the Lakers really faced a fierce impact from their opponents in every game. The opponent's attitude was as if it was a tiebreaker in the playoffs, and there was nothing else in their eyes except the basket.

It would be understandable if only one or two teams were like this, but if all the opponents the Lakers face have this attitude, then it will be a hellish schedule for the Lakers.

Therefore, losing is inevitable.

But it doesn't matter, there is still one last game, and the opportunity is still in the hands of the Lakers.

In this game against the Nuggets, the Lakers' advantage still lies in the inside, but they can't just focus on the inside.

Ye Qingchen knew that he had to make a move this time, and had to let the Lakers break the rules in order to be able to steadily defeat the Nuggets.

Therefore, Ye Qingchen began to explain the tactics of the last game to his teammates. After listening, all the players looked surprised because Ye Qingchen's tactical arrangement was so bold.
